1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive Home of the Black and Goals

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio, Welcome back. I'm Dale Wally. He is

3
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson, and it is time for the Fantasy Football Focus,

4
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: our favorite time of the day. Yeah, and then bring

5
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: it on home. Absolutely, it is waiver Wire Tuesday, and

6
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: uh well, there's some interesting names on the listeners are

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: led by Kenneth Walker. The third. He's only rostered Matt.

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: This is according to ESPN's league here, forty seven and

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: a half percent of leagues. How could he only be rostered? Yeah,

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: it's insane, that's insane. I mean he didn't have a

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: big role early on because an early second second round

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: draft pick. If you're if you're running back drafted in

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: the second round in today's NFL, that's like being a

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: first round draft picks years. I mean, that's Javante Williams.

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, um, I'm sure most listeners are like a boy.

16
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I wish Walker was open in my league. I mean

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: we'd kill for that. But if he is, give like

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: your fab or the rest of the year, as long

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: as he holds up he started him every week, go

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: all the way on. He's at least an RB two.

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: The rest of the way. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, I mean

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: he's big playability, is a good player. I'm curious how

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: much he's used as a receiver. He didn't catch a

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: lot of PASSI State, so I mean you do have

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: some other options there as well. Then to pick up

26
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: as a third down I was wondering, like DJ Dallas

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: is worth it now, he's not a bad back because

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: the chance I mean this is I would almost be

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: willing to bet Kenneth Walker is not great in past protection.

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure he isn't. Becau wasn't a Michigan State. I

31
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: remember watching and he was not used as a receiver there.

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: I think he's capable as a receiver, but he's a

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: dump off guy. Um, but if DJ Dallas becomes like

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: this is why I think Mike Boone's valuable. What's the

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: chances Melvin Gordon lasts every game between? Now you know

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: what I mean? If if someone no matter who they are,

37
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: is a clear every down back and only needs one

38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: injury to become that. And I understand this is that

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: this is when things get tough. This week. It's the

40
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: first week first, the first week of buy, so then

41
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: you start having to finangle your roster a little bit,

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, those guys should be in leagues. Yeah, if

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: they're one injury away from being an every down back,

44
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: pick them up now. Yeah, it doesn't matter who they are.

45
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of, which, Mike Boone still only owned in twenty

46
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: six point nine percent of leagues. And I think he's good.

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't think he's better than Gordon last week. He's

48
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: not as good as Walker, but they would be smart

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: to run the ball. And I don't think Gordon lasts

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: twelve more games. No, I don't think so either. Yeah,

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: you know, uh, this would be the same thing here.

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: We've already talked about this guy, and of course if

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: you've been a listener of this show since the beginning

54
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: of training camp, he should already be roster. But Jalen

55
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: Warren still only roster in three point nine percent of

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the leagues. How is this possible? That's crazy, right, I

57
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: mean he's been playing consistently every week. Well and well,

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: yeah it's not Benny Snell is getting out there once

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: in a while type of thing and doesn't He's still

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: don't get out there ever, right, I mean Warren gets

61
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: out there is the clear cut number two back, and

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: he gets used and he gets used. And I'm not

63
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: saying there's a chance, but there's a better chance in

64
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: some of these situations where he could bite into the

65
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: ones numbers. I mean, if Naga he keeps going away,

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: he goes they're not gonna give the balls at the

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: same level. Yeah, right, I mean warrenge he's almost at

68
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: a point now where he's usable as a flex so

69
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: he's like, he's not very far from that. I mean,

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,519
Speaker 1: would you trade Warren for Madison in fantasy? They're like

71
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: the same guy, right, yeah, I mean absolutely. Some of

72
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: these guys are are known as handcuffs. Uh eno. Benjamin

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: owned in six point eight percent of leagues. See. I

74
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: don't know if he's in that same mold though, because

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: there's no way he gets all the touches. He wouldn't

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: think so, And there's the Williams do, but they might

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: not have any other choice. You might get one week

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: of it, you know, and if it's a boy, you know,

79
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you're you're in a bye week and you've got DeAndre

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Swift or whatever you know you might need. He does

81
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: catch the football. He catches the football. That's why I

82
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: didn't think he's a every down guy because he's more

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: of a third down back, you know, but I mean

84
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: if he's the man for one week start up, yeah,

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: six point eight percent of leagues. I mean he's available. Uh.

86
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: J D. Mckissic is still only owning forty one point

87
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: seven percent of the leagues. He is strictly a third

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: time but he's a really good one. He's a really

89
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: good one. Gibson's role is zero anymore. He's almost drop herble.

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: But Williams is coming back. That's his name, right, the

91
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: band of a kid Andrews Robinson. But he's not gonna

92
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: bite in like mckissic. Thus far as average eight point

93
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: two touches in ten Fantasy points per game this season,

94
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: and he'll do that every game he's ever. He is

95
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: like the new White. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, James White,

96
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: James White. Yeah, you know right, it's exactly what. He's

97
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: better than the hem Hines. He gets more touches in

98
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: the Yeah, he has enough. He's enough that you could

99
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: flex him every week and he's never gonna hurt again.

100
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: He's averaging ten points a game. But he can't to

101
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: be the bell cow. No, he high floor. Um Tyler

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 1: al Gierre still in percent of leagues he had thirty

103
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: nine snaps last week were in nineteen ro Uson had

104
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: thirteen touches. I guess he's the one. I don't know,

105
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: a few more weeks. Yeah, yeah, he should be in

106
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: every league at quarterback. But yeah, Carson Wentz is owning

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: forty seven point seven percent of leagues. I am sorry,

108
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: but that's too much in the middle. That is too much.

109
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: That's too much. I would not be running out to

110
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: pick up Carson Wentz. However, once again, Gino Smith still

111
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: only owned in thirty two of leagues. Much, he's played well,

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: and he's got two really good receivers, like a top

113
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: ten fantasy quarterback scoring wise this year. How is he

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: only owned the thirty two percent of leagues, But he's

115
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: way out scoring Russell Wilson and Rodgers and a lot

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: of these guys that you're running out there that you draft, well,

117
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: I drafted him. Well he might burn you. But he's

118
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: playing well. He's got two good receivers, and their their

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: their defense stinks. He's always behind. They gotta they gotta

120
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: score points every drive to be in a game. Yeah,

121
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: justin Fields only owned in twenty seven percent of leagues,

122
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: is the time to grab him? I think we talked

123
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: about earlier. Yeah, I think that the throws were starting

124
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: to come along and they play. They have a great

125
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: matchup this week Washington, Washington. That's a good pickup at

126
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Michael Gallop owned in the leagues. I think

127
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: he's on. I think he's startable now. Yeah, he's been

128
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: pretty under his belt and you know, ran a lot

129
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: of routes and did some good things. I think he's

130
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: maybe a wide receiver three. In his thirty one career

131
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: games with six plus targets, he's averaged sixty nine point

132
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: two receiving yards in fourteen Fantasy points wide. And he's

133
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: a good player, and they just gave him money. Uh,

134
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 1: George Pickens only owned in fifty point six percent of leagues.

135
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: I mean, he's worth a lot more than Claypool. He's challenging,

136
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: he is a borderline wide receiver two. At this point,

137
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: he just needs to start catching touchdowns. Yeah. The no

138
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns from Steeler receivers this year's brutal. That's gonna

139
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna change. Yeah, if two passing touchdowns all year,

140
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: but he'll start get he'll start getting the end zone. Yeah,

141
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: in fact, that might be one of my guarantees this week. Yeah,

142
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: picking scores a touchdown. Yeah, Isaiah Mackenzie, we'll see if

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: he's at a concussion. Should be a concussion protocol this week.

144
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: Six point three percent ownership. But you know, I don't

145
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: like what I saw of the rookie last week here

146
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: is really good, and I don't like I want any

147
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: piece that offense I can get like a target chair

148
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to the bills. Really doesn't matter if

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: he's on the I mean, he's ever gonna out target Diggs,

150
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, of course, but they're gonna score a lot

151
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: of points and people are gonna find the end zone.

152
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: It'd be better if Shakier or Mackenzie wasn't in the picture, though,

153
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: if he had a train number three slot. Yeah. In fact,

154
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of surprised that the Shakier is not on

155
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: this list because he can't be on much. I mean

156
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: a deep league pick him up now, Yeah, because he

157
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: can also play on the outside. If Davis or Diggs

158
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: were to misside him, I would bet he gets some

159
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean on many other options. No. No, Ron del

160
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Moore owned in nineteen point six percent of the league's

161
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm in Dortch kind of went away with More coming back.

162
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: They actually threw him balls like he's a wide receiver,

163
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: you know. Not everything was at the line of scrimmage

164
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: mentioned he's tiny, he's but the usage was good as

165
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: this past week. Yeah, I would not leave him own

166
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: white waiver wire. DeAndre Hopkins can come back in weeks

167
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: seven and then a lot of people have been counting

168
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: on that. I have no expectations for DeAndre Hopkins at

169
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: this point. I don't know what he is at this career.

170
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: He never ran well to begin with, right, I mean,

171
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure he goes up and gets a football like always.

172
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: But Markus Browns Marquis Brown will continue to be their

173
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: number one. Yeah. Yeah, so don't get caught up in

174
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the more. Couldn't be any different because I'm sure the

175
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: guys who have held on to Hopkins at this point

176
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: are starting to dangle him out there. Hey, I get

177
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: you know, just consider trading him now because you did

178
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: all the hard work holding and people are like, oh,

179
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't have to wait for him. I'll give you something,

180
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: you know. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't trade for him, No, No,

181
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: I wouldn't either. I think Brown's the one yea, and

182
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: more's the slot gadget guy. Alec Pierce owned an eight

183
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: point six percent of leagues. He was like the only

184
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: thing good that came out of that Thursday game. And

185
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: he's been good to last couple of Yeah. Yeah, if

186
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: a pretty deep league to start him, but he's got

187
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: a chance. Yes, I mentioned Michael Pittman runs. All he

188
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: does is run, curls and you know this is the

189
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: down the field guy over the middle. They got him,

190
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: They got him over the middle, hit him in stride,

191
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: did someone with the catch stuff. He's a good player,

192
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: he's athletic and you can go up and get Yeah. Yeah,

193
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean I'd like to have next year. I think

194
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: he's had a good career. Um Darius Slayton is only

195
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: owned in point two percent of leagues seventy nine receiving yards.

196
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: Last week I mentioned him when we were putting together

197
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: a DFS line up. He was the only healthy guy. Whoever,

198
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: the healthiest giant receiver has value for that day, for

199
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: that if it's Tim Fine, if it's Tony Fine Robinson,

200
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: they play the Ravens. Okay, kind of forgotten. He's not

201
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: a bad player. Uh, don't out and do this one

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Diami brown point two percent. He had four targets. He

203
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: had cut two of them for a hundred and five

204
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Again, four targets, four targets, right,

205
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: you know he's a fourth receiver. Don't don't chase the touchdowns. Yeah,

206
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: that team is frustrating anyway. Uh. And then of course

207
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: our our guy, Nico Collins eleven point nine percent ownership.

208
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: UH had sixty five receiving yards last weekend. Yeah, it

209
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: probably won't hit. Yeah, you know when it's all said

210
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: and done. But I think he hasn't been when I

211
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: thought he would be. Yeah. Yeah, the offense is really bad.

212
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,599
Speaker 1: It's broken. YEA a tight end. If Smith owned in

213
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: thirty two point one percent of leagues, you just cut

214
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: IRF Smith because I had three kept on because I

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: didn't think he should be on the waiver wire. Had

216
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: someone heard or something. I forget why I got him,

217
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: but I had two good ones and so I just

218
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: caught him. For I forget who I picked up Cook

219
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: from the bills just opening it hits two weeks from

220
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: now Earth, I should be in leagues. I think he's startable.

221
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst owned in twenty four point two percent of leagues,

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: especially if Higgins missed time. Yeah, but yeah, I mean

223
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: it's okay, it's okay. He's ever a lot of tight ends.

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: He's ever in nine and a half point Fantasy points

225
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: per game, which is good today's fantasy tight end right right,

226
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: that's not bad. We'd kill we'd kill that for hits.

227
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: If you got pitch, you take that all day. Yeah. Um.

228
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram two percent ownership. I think he's in the

229
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Earth's fifth neighborhood. Yeah, these guys are Yeah, yeah, kilent

230
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: a guy, I mean going to get some consistent targets,

231
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: but not as mad as you'd like. If he finds

232
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: the end zone, you're happy, you know. And finally, Tassom

233
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: Hill eleven point eight percent ownership. This is how bad

234
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: the tight end position has been this year. So last week, uh,

235
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: Hawkinson has a monster game involts to tight end I

236
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: think to three or four overall scoring, and and that

237
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: was it. Hill is not tight end four for the

238
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: city after a huge kind of flukey. But I'm thinking,

239
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm taking my chances with Tysom Hill over

240
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: Ingram or IV Smith or any of those other guys

241
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned. Only if Dalton continues to be the quarterback.

242
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: I think I don't want to. I don't want to

243
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: jump into that pool if it's Mary Winston. But if

244
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: he's the goal line back, ye, fans hate yards and

245
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, that is a lot of value. I mean,

246
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna throw many touchdowns and all

247
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: that stuff, But if he's the goal line plunge, dude,

248
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: there's some value there. All right. So he gets you

249
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: six points ago week. I mean, that's what's gonna happen

250
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: most week. Of course, that's without a doubt. That's where

251
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of chasing, the chasing the touchdowns and

252
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: that since you happen to have them, if you were

253
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: smart enough to have him in startdom, I try to

254
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: trade him to hang him. I try to trade him him.

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: This week's streaming defense matchups Washington Thursday Night matchup. This

256
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: is in Chicago actually, so it's Washington at Chicago Bears.

257
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: I guess is Washington's defense startable? No, it might be.

258
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean the opponents are great. They can't pass block

259
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: to save their lives or to save justice fields, all right, right.

260
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean their front four has not been dominant for Washington,

261
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: but their secondary the secondary has allows so many big Yeah,

262
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: I'd rather start the Bears in the oh I definitely

263
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: would too. But yeah, remember we get some bys this week?

264
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: Where the who are the Bis this week? Detroit, Tennessee?

265
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: The Raiders in Houston, Boy, people are counting on Lions

266
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: but Josh Jacobs, but that's about it. Yeah. Uh. San

267
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: Francisco's at Atlanta. They're already might be number one. Yeah,

268
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: they could be top one in the week. And can

269
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: we do dfs? They should maybe the most expensive they

270
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: should be. New England is at Cleveland. You started, not

271
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: the Browns. Start the Patriots defense against the Browns, I think,

272
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Belichick will have them slowed down

273
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: the run and if Brissette beats you, so be it. Yeah,

274
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: that's not bad. Judhon has been getting some pressure. New

275
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: York is at green Bay. The Jets are at green Bay. Both.

276
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay's offense doesn't scare me at all. Pretty giants,

277
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: pretty pop gunnish. I don't know if I trust the

278
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: Jets yet, but I like the Packers at home. Yeah,

279
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: but they're also playing after I don't if they drop

280
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: thirty on anybody. The Jacksonville is at Indianapolis. I think

281
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the Jags are Jags defense is a start in Indianapolis,

282
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Colts might dep d might be a start to might be.

283
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: That's not bad. I mean, that's not the problem with Indie. Yeah.

284
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what Leonard story is, but he's been

285
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: missing a lot of time. Minnesota is at Miami. Vikings, Well,

286
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: if we get Thompson, Yeah, the Vikings is sneaky, absolutely,

287
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: or if Tyreek doesn't play. Yeah, yeah, Vikings is sneaky.

288
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Not the Dolphins. Not the Dolphins. They could be on

289
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: the field a lot. Uh. Cincinnati is at New Orleans

290
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: since I think they're kind of an every week starter now,

291
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: and the Saint Stephen is gonna get sacks. St Steves

292
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: and get sacks, both are both are. Baltimore is at

293
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: New York Giants. Um neither. Yeah, I don't see well

294
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Baltimore now, I don't know. There are too many, too

295
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: many other options that are right, I mean, they'd be

296
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be top twelve. I mean if some of

297
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: the ones we've listed either one of them to me, Yeah,

298
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: of course. Tampa Bay's at Pittsburgh. Um, you're starting to box. Yeah,

299
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna get it's not like

300
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna get a ton of sacks.

301
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Probably not, but it's a really good defense. Yeah, I

302
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: mean I'm not starting to stealers. This is a tough

303
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: one because the Rams have been just god awful. Carolinas

304
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: at the Rams Rams d easy, yes, yeah, j Walker

305
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: right in a new coach. Um Panthers is usable years,

306
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: but they're they're these good. Yeah, they'll get sacks. Yeah,

307
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: I think both are usable. Arizona at Seattle. I can't

308
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: start either of those defenses, no, absolutely not. Yeah, it

309
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: was probably last on the list. Buffalo at Kansas City.

310
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to start either one of those defenses

311
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: this weekend, you know. I mean Buffalo is and every

312
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: week starter, but not not this week in Kansas City.

313
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: You can't start anybody against Buffalo. Yeah. Dallas is at Philadelphia.

314
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: M hmm. Lower than usual for both. Yeah, I think

315
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: the Eagles was probably I mean, in in in weekly league,

316
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna start the Eagles because that's your defenseity and

317
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: it's probably not much better out there. I mean, Dallas

318
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: isn't every week starter. They're like Buffalo, like right, I

319
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: mean you start them every week and they've been great,

320
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: but maybe just pick someone up and don't cut Dallas

321
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: or buffal Right, Yeah, that's that's the move. That's the

322
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: same thing as hard Buffalo in Kansas City, Like same thing. Cowboys.

323
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: Are four defenses that you'd usually use, probably can't usually shouldn't.

324
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: You can find some cheapy off the waiver wire. The

325
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: last game, the Monday night game this week, Denver at

326
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers, firing up the Chargers. Chargers for sure, not Denver.

327
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: No Denver's defense. They're gonna get tortured in this one. Yeah,

328
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: I think they lose bid bo. I hope Keenan Allen

329
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: comes back for that. Get the extra day off there,

330
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: get a little right, Yeah, I'm sure he'll be a

331
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: game time decision probably and then I'm stuck and I'll

332
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: have to figure something out there. But hopefully hopefully by

333
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: Saturday at least gets a limited in you know, something

334
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: like that. Something, Yeah, but no, you do not, Yeah,

335
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: I know you do not otherwise to have like one

336
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: of the Denver receivers or something pick up Hamlin or somebody.

337
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 1: Although that's the thing you do, is you I guess

338
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: you put you put him in the flex spot. But

339
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: that means you better have another receiver. It's and maybe

340
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: you start Boon or somebody if you had to. Or Yeah,

341
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: it's not great, not a good situation. Be could be mean. Yeah,

342
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson apparently dealing with a shoulder I think I

343
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: think it's a shoulder injury some type. Yeah, so it's

344
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: not good against that defense. Although there's no Bosa, but

345
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: they should They still have enough passed. It's not much

346
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: of a home field advantage for the Chargers either, No, no, not,

347
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: it might be more Broncos. Yeah, so interesting. Yeah, I

348
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: think if you're looking for a DFS start, that should

349
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: be cheap. New England could be cheap. I think that.

350
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: I think some big takeaways or avoid the Bills and Cowboys. Yeah,

351
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: they don't dance with Brownie on. Jacksonville is probably gonna

352
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: be cheap. Indianapolis I would think, let's wamput at all,

353
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: don't don't get sacks. Um New Orleans and Cincinnati will

354
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: either one of those be expensive. I wonder if the

355
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: over under is on that game. Probably pretty low. Probably

356
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: so Trey Henderson's revenge game. There there you go. Yeah,

357
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: if if Winston plays, there's a better chance for Turner. Yeah,

358
00:18:52,920 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: um or they Rams against Carolina, is not uh that

359
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: they'll be cheap. I think both of them are potentially usable. Yeah,

360
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: we should be able to find like defense this week

361
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: in DFS, Yeah, I think so. Um, who's Cleveland playing again?

362
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,239
Speaker 1: They're playing New England. Yeah, I like the patriotal if

363
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 1: it's cheap. Yeah, and I can't you can't start the

364
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: Browns defense at home against a rookie quarterback making a

365
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: second career start. It's kind of all you need to know. Yeah, right,

366
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're unstartable. Jones back this week, there's a

367
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: chance I think he's Yeah, we'll see. I mean it's

368
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: been this will be the third week out. Yeah, so

369
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: we'll see. Huh interesting interesting, interesting. Not a bad way

370
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: for Wire this week either. No, there's some guys there.

371
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: There's some guys there that potentially could help you and

372
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: walkers out there that Yeah, I mean that's absolutely and

373
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: he should have got drafted in every league. Yeah, but

374
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: don't forget Detroit, Tennessee. The Raiders in Houston off this week?

375
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: Who's off next week? Week seven? I hate? I hate

376
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: by week? Next week? Is Boo Boys a bad one?

377
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: How about these guys? These are the four as good

378
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: as the you don't mind having guys off this week?

379
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: Here's here's the four teams that are off next week. Buffalo,

380
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and I'm sorry the Rams, Buffalo, the Rams,

381
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Vikings and Eagles. Wow, Jefferson Cup digs a big time

382
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: fantasy players off next week. Party Quarterbacks. Starting quarterbacks are

383
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 1: hard to find, it fans. There's one that's that's brutal, brutal. Yeah,

384
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I don't know who I played that with. I don't

385
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: think I have much there. Well, i'll be without Cook,

386
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I mean that would be what it

387
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: might be one of the cases that if you're lucky

388
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: enough to have a lot, you just take the l

389
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: and you survive the rest of the year a little better. Yeah,

390
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: but no, you probably don't have Diggs Cup and you

391
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: know a J. Brown. Probably not. That's brutal, Allen, I didn't.

392
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: I hadn't looked at when I'm drafting. I don't even

393
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: look at I never do because my team changes so

394
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: much almost every one of my leagues. I'll figure it out.

395
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: I'd get there. But man, that is brewed tall. You

396
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: have both quarterbacks and I got both twuarterbacks and will

397
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: by this week and I picked one of them up

398
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: when a couple days ago, right, Yeah, I picked up Yeah, Um,

399
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: I picked up golf when when the fields went there

400
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: and fields Lance went down. That's kind of worked out

401
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: except for last week. Yeah, I didn't start him last night.
