Speaker 1: faithful producer seenor Edward L. Murphy esquire, what's up Murph?

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: That conversation you guys are happen is pretty funny. Quick story.

28
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Last year, I first time ever was cooking. I've done

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the friends giving thing or the Thanksgiving away from home

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: of the fast pastor years being out in l A.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: So last year I was up in Baker's, filled my

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: girlfriend and was working in the early morning, was home

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,919
Speaker 1: by noon, so just me alone in the kitchen doing

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: it all. And then, like always, what happens is you

35
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: just fill up on like the drinks and the appetizers,

36
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: and then by the time it comes for the turkey

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: and the stuffing and mahr ptatoes and all that, we're

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: just like we're good spend hours just like basting a

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: turkey and doing the whole bird and nothing. That last

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: year for the first time I made homemade cranberry sauce

41
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: because I'd always gotten it from the cans. Stuff in

42
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the cans better. But it's so easy to make it though.

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: That's fine and stuff in the camps, I know, but

44
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 1: I just want to say I made it by myself.

45
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: I was like, did you did you? Did you Brian

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: your turkey? Yes? Yeah, the one I shouldn't Yeah I did.

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: I did. Yeah, because you put it in like salid

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: right for for a while. So I did that overnight

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: and then uh, luckily I got one without the stuff inside.

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: There was like some laft, they said, the giblets and

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It was just it was a whole

52
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: process and I ate like a few bites. It was

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: so it was devastating. Wait wait, wait what is this now?

54
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: You put the bird Brian? And I admittedly I had

55
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: I've never done this. I had never done this until

56
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. And it was Matt money

57
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Smith that convinced me that I should do it. And

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: he has a whole big recipe and every now and

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: then and maybe if we hit him up on Twitter,

60
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: he'll post it again. He'll post a recipe for how

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: to Brian your turkey on Twitter and basically you let

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: it sit overnight in a giant pot of heavily salted water, right. Uh,

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: and then it actually adds you know, adds salt and eggs,

64
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: adds flavor to it. And I did it one year

65
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: and I cook the turkey and it was it was fantastic.

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm texting him right now. So yeah, I think it's

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: something for people to do who do the oven roasted

68
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: because if you deepry, which I've done a lot, it's

69
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: also great deeping. It will change your life. Yeah, it's

70
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: like the best thing back out East used to do that.

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Put that the bird in the pot and you just

72
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: like smell the oil like coming off out of the pot,

73
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: and it's like freezing cold outside. All the men just

74
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: like standing the circle around there like scorching hot pot.

75
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's awesome, right And as long as

76
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: you don't burn your house down, it's great. Yeah. Frozen turkeys, No,

77
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: frozen turkeys, don't burn your house down. Uh. Well, planted

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: to talk about. Of course we are here day early

79
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: because Thanksgiving holiday is coming, but we still got plenty

80
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: to talk about. We will go through all of the

81
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: week twelve games, including the three that are happening on Thursday.

82
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Of course they don't have his delirious pick and the

83
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: We'll give you a little things that we're thankful for

84
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: this year, but first let's do some news. Well, we're

85
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: gonna flashback to Monday night. Of course, there was that

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: score festival they had at the l A Coliseum between

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Rams, and I know for a

88
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: lot of people who had Todd Gurley, they felt kind

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 1: of left out of the party because everybody got involved

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: in Gurley was sort of, you know, not really as

91
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: much of the game as people would have expected. Well,

92
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: you got some news on perhaps why he was limited

93
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: by an ankle injury in that Victor. The things appear

94
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: to not be serious. Uh so, yeah, it was frustrating.

95
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: We kind of get it what he had a week off.

96
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Now I think everything's everything's fine, right, Yeah, But now

97
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: here's the question, because this is the time of year

98
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: when you want a handcuff your running backs, like I've

99
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: I've got Rod Smith, where I have Zeke, I've got

100
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Jalen Samuels, where I have Connor, Which one of the

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: running backs is the handcuff for Gurley? If you decided

102
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: to go in that direction. Is it Malcolm Brown or

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: is it Kelly? Like Brown is the one who's been

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: getting the touches behind early, but I would think it's

105
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown. I mean, he was the guy that we

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: saw a lot on Monday night when Gurley was kind

107
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: of sitting on the sidelines. So I think I think

108
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Malcolm Brown that the guy you wanted. Though,

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I will say this, in the preseason, John Kelly looked great.

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: He did look really good. Like none of the starters

111
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: obviously played in the preseason, so we saw a lot

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: of them, but John Kelly looked really really I just

113
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: went to the the website hoping to look at the

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: rams official depth chart typed in rams dot com. It's

115
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: it's the ram Ram is a male sheep. That's what

116
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: I got. All right, Well, thank you for that. Other

117
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: news for tomorrow for Thursday, Mitchell Drubisky is doubtful against

118
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: the Lions with a shoulder injury. It looks more and

119
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: more like Chase Daniel is going to be the starter there.

120
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about the Bears and the

121
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: Lions coming up, but that's definitely one to keep an

122
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: eye on. If Mitch Rubisky does not play. Uh, you know,

123
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was a great matchup, but

124
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: he's been playing well, so maybe it was one you

125
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: would have considered anyway. Uh, the Bucks placed O. J.

126
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: Howard on injured reserve, so that means we're we're all

127
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: aboard the brake train now right. Well, I mean I

128
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: picked him up and I'm gonna start him this week

129
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: because the matchup is favorable. You you could see a

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: lot of points going on there Tampa Bay against the

131
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: forty niners. And people also, you know, you forget because

132
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened this season, but I mean Cambray was

133
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: a very popular red zone target for Winston, and Winston's

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: back starting for the Buccaneers, and um, the tight end

135
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: position being what it is, and you just lose O. J. Howard.

136
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: I think Bright is a is a very solid replacement. Yeah,

137
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I thought even earlier in the

138
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: year that somehow they could co exist O. J. Howard

139
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: and Cameron brad It didn't quite happen, but the Bucks

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: do use their tight ends a lot, So I think

141
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: this is a good a good job. You know who

142
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: I like in that game, just real quick is Adam Humphries.

143
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: He has been I would watch out for him. Yeah, man,

144
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: he's been sneaking. Yeah, definitely. Uh. The other news, um,

145
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: the Vikings say they want to run the ball more,

146
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmers saying the Vikings need to stick to the

147
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: run more. So this should make you feel better, right,

148
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: if you have Dalvin Cook, this should be exciting. If

149
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: you have Dalin Cooks, you have Dalvin Cook. I'm excited.

150
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: And the matchup is great. I mean the Packers have

151
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: given up what almost thirty fantasy points a game to

152
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: running backs on the road. Uh, running backs are averaging

153
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: almost five yards per rush against them over the last

154
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: four games. So this should be a get right game

155
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: for Dalvin Cook. And if it's not, then it's time

156
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: to be concerned. It can't. It can't really be any

157
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: worse than it was last week. That was bad. You

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: got you negative one point, So it's not I don't

159
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: think it could be any worse than it was last week.

160
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: There you go. That's pretty much everything you need to know.

161
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: All right. It is the week twelve previewing Man Week

162
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: twelve season. Dude, the season is like officially a preteen

163
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: now a preteen is twelve weeks old. So uh, let's

164
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: start with the Thursday games. Bears at the Lions talked

165
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: about Mitch Dubinski looking doubtful, looking like he's likely not

166
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: going to play. So if Chase Daniel is indeed the starter,

167
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: how much does that change how you feel about the

168
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: Bears offense on So, you would expect that the Bears

169
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: would look to run Joho a little bit more with

170
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: Trabisky out, so maybe it elevates him a little bit,

171
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: but he's been so hard to trust. Even a couple

172
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: of weeks ago against the Lions, one of the worst

173
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: run defenses in the league, and he gave you an

174
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: absolute stink bomb. I really like ter Cohen in this game,

175
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: both as a runner and more as a receiver, a

176
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: guy who could maybe catch him passes in space, especially

177
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: with Daniel under center there, maybe throwing a few dump

178
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: offs to him. But and and Matt money Smith said

179
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: this on on the TV show earlier in the weekend.

180
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: I agree with him. There's not a Bears player that

181
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: you can trust to produce every single week except for

182
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: their defense. No, it's it's more. And Rabinsky has had

183
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: a couple of bad stat lines over his last three

184
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: games is before that, he was tremendous. But Allen Robinson

185
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: is not someone I'm starting this week. I get it.

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: He had a great game against the Lions two weeks ago,

187
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: but Sleigh was out. He's back. I don't want Allen Robinson.

188
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't want Taylor Gabriel. Maybe Anthony Miller is a

189
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: sleeper because a Lions kind of struggle against slot receivers.

190
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: If you're if you're hurting Trey Burton maybe because the

191
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: tight end position, so then you're gonna utilize him. But

192
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: you never go into the game thinking, man, I am

193
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: so confident in the Chicago Bears offensive player that I'm

194
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: putting him in my lineup, and I am forgetting about it. Yeah,

195
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the thing is that you know,

196
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: it's weird because Mitch Rubinsky has actually been pretty good

197
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, but they're spreading the ball

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: around so much that there's no pass catcher that you

199
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: can count on consistently. Jordan Howard has underwhelmed this year.

200
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm kind of with you on that one.

201
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I just you know, even even if Trubisky were to play,

202
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's the guy that you would consider starting.

203
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: But there's just nobody else around there that you look at.

204
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: By the way, Money just texted me that that recipe

205
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: for the brining go for it, and then I hi,

206
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: am in, I fully recommend it. Two sticks of butterer

207
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: are involves. That sounds good to me, man, it was,

208
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: it was, It was phenomenal. Uh. Any Lions you trust

209
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: beyond Kenny Golladay, like, he's definitely gonna be there, but

210
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: anybody else that you really are excited about against this

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: bearsbee So carry on Johnson's out right, So you're gonna

212
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: get a three headed monster that includes Laguerre, Blunt, Zack

213
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: center right theoretic, I mean, I guess maybe Rid I

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: don't know. Um and Stafford right now is unstartable. He's unstartable.

215
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: Um No, I guess the answer. I'm not starting their kicker.

216
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm not starting their defense even with a backup quarterback,

217
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: they're under center. No, with carry On out, Galladay has

218
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: had two big games in a row. He made a

219
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: couple of catches last week he didn't make. That just

220
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: makes you salivate if you're a fantasy owner for the future,

221
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: in for the rest of this season. But no it's

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: it's it's it's KG and that's it. Yeah, I mean

223
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: it's man, it's it's It's so funny because this Lions

224
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: offense in the past, it's sort of been a nice

225
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: place to go. We get fantasy production. Matthew Stafford had

226
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: always sort of been one of those fringed qb ones

227
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: you know you had when the Golden Tape was there.

228
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: You had Marvin Jones there, even Kenny Gollar. Like this year,

229
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: it just has not been the and Marv Jones is

230
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: also out, so um, you're gonna need a replacement, which

231
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: is why we like Golladay so much because the targets there.

232
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: You go, uh, alright, your beloved Cowboys are at home.

233
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: The internal arrival with Washington coming in is Jordan read back.

234
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just got off of doing a

235
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: segment on NFL Total Access and I made a joke

236
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: to Lindsay Roads and I said, you know, the Redskins

237
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: offense this season, everyone's gotten hurt except for the guy

238
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: that's always hurt. That's really jord Reid. It's true. Twenty

239
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: plus points last week. Uh. Cowboys have struggled against tight

240
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: ends over the last four weeks, although it was that

241
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: one big game by Zach Ertz that really made the

242
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense look bad. But with that being said, with

243
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: the Redskins down so many wide receivers, maybe Colt McCoy

244
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: is a guy who likes to throw the football in

245
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: Jordan reads the direction a little bit more than Alex

246
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Smith did. Although that was a surprise to me that

247
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: that he didn't throw to him more based on his

248
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: tendencies in the past to get the tighten involved. But

249
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: with that being said, reads in my top eight this week.

250
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: Well you know the other weird part though, and I

251
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: went back and looked at at the kind of the

252
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: game log from Sunday, is that, yeah, he read scored

253
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the touchdown from Colt McCoy. But oddly enough, for whatever reason,

254
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: Alex Smith actually had targeted him, targeted him a lot.

255
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: I think he had eight targets from Alex Smith in

256
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: the first half or early in the game before Smith

257
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: got hurt, which was out of the ordinary. So I

258
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: don't know if they figured something out. I don't know

259
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: if it's because there are so many other guys who

260
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: were hurt and not available that suddenly Alex Smith is like, hey,

261
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: maybe i'll throw it to this Jordan Read guy, Like,

262
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: I don't know so maybe, but maybe there's something happening

263
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: in this offense where they're starting to get him more.

264
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: Of all whatever, I'm all for it. Like we need

265
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: more tight ends, we need more productive tight ends, so

266
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: I am totally all for it if they want to

267
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: get Jordan Read involved. Um, can you go back to

268
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper this week? He made his debut at nice game.

269
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: He scored the touchdown that first week. Uh didn't score

270
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: toutdown a second week, but hadd with like seventy eight yards.

271
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: I believe it was a number of catches, then kind

272
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: of fell apart in the third week. Can you go

273
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: back to him this week? He's a flex starter for

274
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: me or or a three likely to to line up

275
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: at least occasionally against Josh Norman, which is never really

276
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: a great scenario for a wide receiver even now. So

277
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: to me, he's a risk or there's a lot of

278
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: risk reward cowboys in this game, like Coop, like Dak.

279
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: You know, Dad gave you a stinker last week, but

280
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: in two of his previous three games he had given

281
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: you a twenty plus. So but see, this is a

282
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 1: game like as a as a Diarn Cowboys fan, I

283
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: know that when the Cowboys get going and when they

284
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: get excited, that's when they drop you off the cliff.

285
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not saying we're gonna lose to the Redskins,

286
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a very

287
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: close game because it's a divisional game, and it would

288
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: be just like the Jason Garrett Cowboys to come in

289
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: to the Jerry Dome after two huge wins. No one

290
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: expected us to win those two games, including me, and

291
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: and play a team with a backup quarterback and lose

292
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: or at least make it more interesting than it should be.

293
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, Doc is a QB two for me,

294
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: A kop is a flex zeke asm must start obviously,

295
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: um And on the Redskins side, there's not a lot

296
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: to like really outside of Jordan. I mean, Adrian Peterson

297
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: scored twice. He had two touchdown runs inside the seven

298
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: yard line of the opposition. Other than that, he was

299
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: averaging three and a half yards to carry. He's average

300
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: fewer than four yards of carrying his last three games.

301
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: The offensive line still has issues. You would think that

302
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys are gonna stack the box to stop in because

303
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: with Colt McCoy under center, it's not like this offense

304
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: is going deep, and really they don't have any wide

305
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: receivers to go deep with. They're so banged up with

306
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: that position. So Peterson is not someone that I would

307
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: start this week either if I had depth. In fact,

308
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I might consider starting good old Gus Edwards over Adrian Peterson.

309
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: Was I might think about it. I mean, I guess,

310
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: you know, Gus playing the Raiders, right, it's definitely worth

311
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: thinking about. Yeah, yeah, I mean I looked at it,

312
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: and I guess if there's anybody on that offense to

313
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson simply because of volume, but everything about it,

314
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's you talk about the injury

315
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: cult McCoy starting short week on the road in the division,

316
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: like everything points to this just being awful for Washington,

317
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: which suggested that they're going to go out and dropt probably.

318
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: But on paper two, the Cowboys defense is a nice play.

319
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: It's been pretty good Colt McCoy, I mean as it

320
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: started the games, and in his starts at the NFL level,

321
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: he's been sacked in average of almost three times a game,

322
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: so which is sort of weird because he's kind of mobile.

323
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, right, you would think the opposite. So you

324
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: know the Marcus Lawrence is looking at that and saying,

325
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: oh man, so yeah, eat. I definitely the Cowboys are

326
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is a really good play this week Falcons

327
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: at Saints. Okay, so last week the Falcons kind of

328
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: got shut down a little bit by by the Cowboys defense. Uh,

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: the Saints defense went out and locked down on the Eagles.

330
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: So does that mean we should be worried about Atlanta

331
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: again this No, I don't think so. I think this

332
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: is a high scoring affair. Um, it was earlier in

333
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the season. They played, I believe back in Week three

334
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: and like everyone eight and the big the big star

335
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: in that game for Atlanta was Calvin Ridley. I think

336
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: that was his forty point game. So I'm not promising

337
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: you in your forty again, but if you did it

338
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: in week three, there's no reason why he can't at

339
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 1: least give you fifteen in this game against the defense

340
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: that's been looking better in recent weeks. But when Atlanta

341
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans get together, typically you're gonna see a lot

342
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: of points scored. So you want to get shares of

343
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: Falcons and Saints going on in your lineup this week,

344
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: and uh, Calvin really certain certainly one of those guys.

345
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Even Tevin Coleman, who I mean, he hadn't been great

346
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, despite some good matchups, He's

347
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: kind of been black. But because of the potential for

348
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: this to be a high scoring game, there's few players

349
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: that I would be sitting from either one of these

350
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: teams who are fantasy relevant. Yeah. I mean it's funny too,

351
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: because on paper this is not a great matchup. The

352
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Saints run defense has been pretty good all year long. Uh,

353
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: their past defense has had its issues, but even still,

354
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: I would still roll with Tevin Coleman. Um. I would

355
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: be aware of Edo Smith. He had a couple of

356
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: really nice weeks early in the season, but he has

357
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: sort of, as Mike Tyson would say, faded into Bolivian,

358
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: so so I would kind of avoid him. He would

359
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: also think too, Atlanta is going to be playing from

360
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: behind in the second half, so yeah, should be a

361
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: lot of points scored. I mean the I think, what

362
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: is the Saints have scored like forty five or more

363
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: in three straight games. It's crazy because like they're after

364
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: what happened on Monday, night with the Rams and the Chiefs,

365
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: like the Saints are the forgotten team, right they beat

366
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: the Rams already, So boy, I mean, and Drew Brees

367
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: is playing like some of the best football of his career,

368
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: like I'll tell you and and uh, you know, just

369
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: like Dave damish Ike likes to say when I'm wrong,

370
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I admit that I'm wrong. I say that

371
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. And I said to trade Drew Brees a

372
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, but I did say it with the

373
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: caveat that, you know, if you have my homes or

374
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: if you have another study, you should trade Breeze. But

375
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: he has been so much better than I thought he

376
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: would be because last year, when you have a care

377
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: and you have mark Ingram in the offense, Breeze's yards

378
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: his past tents all dropped this season. That whole offenses

379
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: just eating it is. You know, I do wonder how

380
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: much of it they'll Also has to do with the

381
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: fact that, at least earlier in the season, the all

382
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: the defense was bad. It's sort of had to throw

383
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: the ball to keep up. But he's been lights out

384
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: without a doubt, and keeping mind tray Kwan was limited

385
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: in practice today, so Tray Kwan gets an active tag tomorrow.

386
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 1: He's a fine flex or three in what should be

387
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: a high scoring affair, but keep tabs on his status

388
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: because he has been a little bit banged up. All right.

389
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Uh So basically you think you answered the question there

390
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: there there there are no Saints that you'd consider sitting

391
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: this week, right? Uh? Maybe the fantasy relevant Saints. Yeah,

392
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: and their defense has been good late, it's been good,

393
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: but no, I wouldn't play them. They've been good. I

394
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: think three of the last four games they've had a

395
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: think nine or more fantasy right, they had last week? Right,

396
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: except that the three games like there, they were against

397
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: offenses that haven't played great this year. I think it's

398
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: like the Vikings who struggle. The Eagles defense hasn't been

399
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: great as one, more like the one d The one

400
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: offense that they played that was really good was the Rams,

401
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: and I think they got negative one fantasy. So just

402
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: something to keep in mind for that one. Brown's at

403
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: Bengals the stream Baker Mayfield this week. I like him,

404
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: I do. Uh, Bengals defense is I mean it's a

405
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: home game, but Bengals defense, I mean, you can beat

406
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: that team. You can beat that team, and Baker has

407
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: been good, Like he's not giving you like monstrous performances,

408
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: although he did in the week before the boy had

409
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: twenty plus it was a career high. But I like

410
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: Baker in this game. There's a lot of Browns I

411
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: like in this game, like Nick Chubb a lot in

412
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: this game. The Bengals defense against the run has been dreadful,

413
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: absolutely dreadful. And we saw that when they played the

414
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Saints and both Kimara and Angraham had over twenty Fantasy points. So, uh, Nick,

415
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, I mean he's as close to a more

416
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: starts as you can get for a guy who's not

417
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: considered an elite fantasy player. And you know, Marcus, I

418
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: even like Jervis Landry a little bit. It's been a

419
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: long time, a little bit, but a few weeks since

420
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: we said that. It's because you know, Cincinnati struggled against

421
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: slot receivers this season. So I didn't say I love him,

422
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: but I mean you if you're in a PPR league,

423
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna start him in your lineup? Yeah, no doubt.

424
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: Uh do you trust Andy Dalton without a j right now?

425
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: I know there's there's you know, talking to last day

426
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,239
Speaker 1: or so that a J. Green could come back that

427
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, Marvin Lewis is saying he expects him to play,

428
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: but you know, won't wait until we get closer in

429
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: a week to figure that out. If a J. Green

430
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: doesn't play, would you trust Andy Dalton against in a

431
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: matchup that on paper looks pretty positive? Yeah? I know.

432
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't though, because I mean, dude, what do

433
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: you I mean the Saints matchup looked great and he didn't.

434
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: So so I'll give you. I'll give you a few quarterbacks.

435
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: I would start over Dalton this week. It would Mayfield

436
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: for sure, I'd seriously think about Nick Mullins, okay, And

437
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: I would definitely start Lamar Jackson over him. Okay. And

438
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: those guys could end up being on the waiver wire

439
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: in some leagues if they're noncompetitive. I would definitely think,

440
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Mullins probably out there. They Field might

441
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: be too coming off and by so who knows uh

442
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: speaking of Nick Mullins Niners at Buccaneers. So I I

443
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: guess that answered the question. You would stream Nick Mullins

444
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: potentially this week Bucks. And And here's the thing, so

445
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: like this could end up being a high scoring game

446
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: and the Niners could fall behind in this contest. Jamis

447
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: Winston in that offense are gonna put up points. I

448
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna turn them all over as well, hopefully

449
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: not too much, but there's gonna be a lot of

450
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: points scored in this game. And we've talked about the

451
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: Buccaneers defense, I mean over and over and over again

452
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: as a defense you want to target in your fantasy matchup.

453
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: So I'm not I don't have Nick Mollins in my

454
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: top ten. I don't have Nick Mollins in my top fifteen.

455
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: But if I'm in a two QB league, a super

456
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: flex league, or I have a couple of quarterbacks who

457
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: are who are not reliable, like in Andy Dalton for example,

458
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: like an Eli Manning for example, like a Matthew Stafford,

459
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: I'd roll with him. All right. Yeah, I mean, look,

460
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: I definitely in the two QB league, I'm starting Nick Mullins.

461
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Uh a super deep league, maybe I give him a look. Okay,

462
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: So Jamis is back starting again. He's the starter for

463
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: the the Bucks. Do you trust him against the forty?

464
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: I do? I like him. Actually, I haven't been my

465
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: top ten, so I feel like I feel like in

466
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: the game after he replaced Fitzpatrick and played so well

467
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: that Dirk Cutter is going to give him a little

468
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: bit of of of a leash. He's not going to

469
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: pull him in this contest unless unless something happens and

470
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 1: he gets hurt. But I think Winston's I'd play him

471
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: with confidence against this defense. And we all know the Niners.

472
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: They're giving up like three passing yards of game on

473
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: the road. They're giving up twenty three fantasy points a game,

474
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: uh to the position away from San Francisco. So I

475
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: like Winston. I I there's a lot of bucks I like.

476
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Evans is clearly a must start. You know,

477
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: we talked to Cameron Braid is a guy you can play. Um.

478
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: I don't know about the sign Jackson so much. He's

479
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: more of an uneven play this week. But I like Winston.

480
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: I I do, And you know, we talked about it

481
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: on the pod on Monday, Like if you combined Fitzpatrick

482
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: and Winston's fantasy point totals this season, like they're they're

483
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: like top five, which but so don how great like

484
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Drew Brees has been because it takes two guys to yes.

485
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: Um okay, So sneaky question would you would you consider

486
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber at all? Like Lea's, his yards per carry

487
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: average has been pretty good over the last month or so. Um.

488
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: His problem has been game script because the Bucks tend

489
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: to fall behind and they can't really run the football.

490
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: But this is a game where I don't know the

491
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: game script necessarily comes into play. I don't necessarily think

492
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: that the Niners are gonna run out and hide and

493
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: get a big lead over Tampa. They're not that great

494
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: of an offense. This could be a game of Peyton

495
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Barber actually has some value. Yeah, he's in the flex

496
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: starter conversation for sure. What just drives you nuts about

497
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: him is that so inconsistent. So you look at his numbers,

498
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: they had a buying Week five, he put up twenty

499
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: against Atlanta, then in a close game against the Browns three.

500
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Then he goes for fourteen against the Bengals in a

501
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: close game following week Carolina six, then seven point six

502
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: against the Redskins, and then last week he rolls, you know,

503
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 1: he rolls over the Giants like he's James Wilder. So,

504
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: and for those of you who don't know who James

505
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: Wilder is, look it up. Google it. Maybe the best

506
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back up all time. But I

507
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: say he's a flex option, but he's a risk reward

508
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: flex option, right. I Mean it's funny because, like all

509
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: year long, it just felt like the Bucks were trying

510
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: to give the job to somebody else and Peyton Barber

511
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: just keeps hanging around. I know, I know. And hey,

512
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: on the other side, Matt Brita, well, he's a start.

513
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: He's a really good start. He's a start. Yeah, here's

514
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a really good start this week. Yep. At this point,

515
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: like Matt Brida is just he's indestructible. That he said.

516
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Now he's had a buy to get even healthier, so

517
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: he's he's definitely start jags at Bills. I was like

518
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: racking my brain to come up with questions about this,

519
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: and I mean he's a must start now, yeah, because

520
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: he gets the ball a lot. It's it's a so

521
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: so matchup. Bill's kind of middle of the road on

522
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: paper defensively against the run um. But other than that,

523
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: besides four net, do you just start both defenses and

524
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: just call it a day. Well, if you're terrible quarterback,

525
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: if you're deep at running back, I'd be definitely trying

526
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: to keep LaShaun McCoy on my bench. And this is why,

527
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about stal high on him because

528
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: he's coming off a big game against the Jets where

529
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: their defense didn't show up. But other than that, he's

530
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: been a highly unreliable fantasy option. He's having his worst

531
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: season in maybe forever statistically. And when you look at

532
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, I mean this is this is a team

533
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: number one that's allowed the second fewest fantasy points of

534
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: running back since Week eight. And then you look at McCoy,

535
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: a'm on running backs, we have seen at least eighty carries.

536
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: This guy has seemed the third most loaded boxes. And

537
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: why because their quarterbacks stink and Josh Allen's on track

538
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: to come back this week. So not only does that

539
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: keep me from starting McCoy if I have depth in

540
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 1: my backfield, but old boy, oh Murph, the Jack's defense, Baby,

541
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 1: light them up, Light them up. Because they have been

542
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: bad most of the season. This is a week to

543
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: start them. Yeah, this is you know, it's funny too,

544
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: because they just have not they haven't. They haven't had

545
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers, they haven't gotten with the sacks

546
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: like they did like they like twenty three or something

547
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: in fantasy points among defenses. But I'd fire him up

548
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: this week. They're not they have not been great this here,

549
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: Raiders at the Ravens. I was trying to think of

550
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: a Raider that I would consider starting this week, and

551
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: I mean maybe jar Rochard, j Cook maybe. I mean

552
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: I was really drawing a blank over and if there's

553
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: no one that I could say just definitively like yep,

554
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: I would start that guy for sure. You know why

555
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: because they're bad. Yeah, Raiders bad, but so and Doug

556
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: Barton got banged up. So Jaylon Rochard is in the

557
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: PPR conversation. Clearly, Um, keep tabs on Martin's status because

558
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: if he can't play, you missed part of his game

559
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: with the ankle. You know, Richard is going to continue

560
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: to see that same role. And then you'll see Washington

561
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: in there, which isn't any great shakes if you're a

562
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: fantasy owner. But Baltimore, there's some interesting players. Now, this

563
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: could go sideways, which fantasy football sometimes does, but this

564
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: offense ran the ball seventy percent of the time last week.

565
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson had nineteen pass attempts, which means you can

566
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: eliminate anybody who can just passes in Baltimore Psycho Crabtree, right,

567
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean anybody. You can't play him, even against the Raiders,

568
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: you can't play him. And one of the bigger questions

569
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: that hopefully will have answered this week, uh and in

570
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 1: terms of in terms of what we we need to

571
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: know as fantasy analysts, is was Gus Edwards a one

572
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: week wonder or is this the real deal? And this

573
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: now becomes the featured back for the Baltimore Ravens because

574
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: I've seen Alex Collins cut in some leagues, believe it

575
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: or not after what happened last week that the Raiders

576
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: are I know the Raiders are bad against the run.

577
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: So and here's the thing, Gus Edwards is not gonna

578
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: get targeted in the passing game. This guy does not

579
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: catch the ball. So he has got to get fifteen

580
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: to eighteen carries in this contest and maybe he will

581
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 1: to to to be productive. I have him in that

582
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: flex starter range, but he's a risk reward because no

583
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: one would be shocked if like Alex ended up splitting

584
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: carriers with him this week. Are they used more time Montgomery?

585
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: I mean they use like fifty running Backs in that

586
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: game last week and their quarterback ran the ball twenty

587
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 1: seven times. Yeah. You know the other part of it

588
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: is John Hardball hasn't really committed, like you know, he

589
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: said earlier the week, there's a chance that Joe Flacco

590
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: could be back this week. Um, you know, I think

591
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: we're all sitting here hoping that it's Lamar Jackson for

592
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: another week. But John Harbaugh doesn't seem the one to

593
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: just you know, commit one way or another, which really

594
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: throws a wrench in everything. I mean, if Joe, if

595
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is in and suddenly your wide receivers are

596
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: back in play, there's just so much that that, you know,

597
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: we still need to figure out. And I guess we

598
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: still have a couple more days. They The good thing

599
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 1: is this is Wednesday instead of Thursday or Friday, So

600
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: that's that's the upside. Seahawks at the Panthers. Doug Baldwin

601
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: says he has felt that he feels as healthy as

602
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: he has in a long time. So is this good news?

603
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: Can we say Doug Baldwin is back now? Is he

604
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: back to being the guy who is a top ten

605
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: fantasy receiver? I mean, I don't see that that the

606
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks are still an offense that wants to run the football,

607
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: and we saw last week that Chris Carson is still

608
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: gonna be their featured back. I have him ranked as

609
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: a flex slash wide receiver two three somewhere in that

610
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: area against the Carolina Panthers. But let's not kid ourselves.

611
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: The best wide receiver in Seattle from a fantasy respective

612
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: is Tyler Lockett, and it's going to continue to be

613
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett. This is a guy like he's not giving

614
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: you twenty a game, but he's failed to score double

615
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: that your points in PPR leagues once. That's it. That's it.

616
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: And I would think this should be a pretty entertaining

617
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: affair here. Uh, two teams that that that certainly need

618
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: to win, so especially the Panthers. I mean, boy, coming

619
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: off and getting beat by the Lions, that's yeah, that

620
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: is no buenos. So should be some points scored in

621
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: that game. Um, I'm fading both of the defenses. I

622
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: like both of the quarterbacks. Obviously, Cam Newton is a

623
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: must start, and on Seattle side, I think Chris Carson

624
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: is a sneaky play this week. What do you do

625
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: with different functions right now? Well, he's banged up, so

626
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: he didn't pro just today and that's Wednesday, so I mean,

627
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: you don't wish injuries on anyone. If he doesn't play

628
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: this week, that makes things so much easier to start

629
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: d J Moore and it suddenly brings Curtis Samuel into

630
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: that flex starter picture. Um, but I mean you said

631
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: it on TV this week, who's the number one wide

632
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: receiver in Carolina when it comes to fantasy production. It's

633
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: d J Moore. Yeah, no, absolutely, I mean it's just

634
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of things have gone sideways for Devin Funchess

635
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: after after what we saw earlier in the year Patriots

636
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: at the Jets. How many quarterbacks would you start over

637
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady this week? Oh spicy. You know, it was

638
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: interesting to see some of the guys on the show

639
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: suggests that Tom Brady should be traded before the deadline

640
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: and fantasy leagues. And you know, I've done my rankings

641
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: and I've got sort of the obvious guys ranked ahead

642
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: of Tom Brady. You know, obviously Drew Brees is going

643
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: to be up there. You know, Cam Newton is gonna

644
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: be up there. Uh, Matt Ryan is going to be

645
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: out there, Andrew Luck. I think I have four guys

646
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: maybe ahead of them, um and and it's only Wednesday,

647
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: so things might change, but I have him right in

648
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: there with like Rogers, Wentz cousins in that area. I mean,

649
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: just like because I think there was a time when

650
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: we were afraid to talk about the sort of thing

651
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: out loud about Tom Brady and kind of like whisper like, hey,

652
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: what do we do with him? Like now I think

653
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's not quite as taboo to talk

654
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: about it anymore. I mean, he's the QB four team

655
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: coming into the week. He hasn't had a lot of

656
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: those like huge blow up games so far this year,

657
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: and it's just like I think, I think now people

658
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: are willing to kind of say out loud that like, hey,

659
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe it's on. Brady is just not the guy

660
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: that you know. I mean, he's forty one years old.

661
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Father time comes for us all, I mean, except for

662
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Frank Gore because he's going to Let let's see if

663
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: Gronkowski comes back to He's been practicing on a limited

664
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: in this week, so would be it would be good

665
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: for for Brady clearly. And you have some questions in

666
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: New England that need to be answered. Uh, Number one,

667
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: is Brady gonna turn back into Brady? Number two is

668
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: Gronkowski ever going to get back on the field? And

669
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: number re which Sony Michelle do we see because before

670
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: he went down with that knee injury he was great.

671
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: He was an RB one and in the game before

672
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: the bye, I mean he didn't get a ton of touches,

673
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: but he didn't do much with the touches he had,

674
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: And a lot of people out there, including myself in

675
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: a couple of leagues, are really hoping that Sony Michelle

676
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: can sort of resurrect his fantasy value because what we

677
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: saw before the bye was well Leslan stellar. So what

678
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: that's if I want to keep an eye on how

679
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: many Jets or are there any Jets you can trust

680
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: this week? Trying to count not money. If you need

681
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: a sleeper, If you need a sleeper from this game,

682
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: it would be Elijah McGuire because he is out snapped.

683
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: Um Isai Crow Well Krol has had more touches in

684
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, but McGuire's had more snaps.

685
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: The Jets wide receivers are banged up. Robby Anderson's banged up,

686
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: Quincy and noon what could be back this week? And

687
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: um Josh McCown is projected to be the starter again.

688
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 1: All of that means one thing for me. I'm starting

689
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. Yeah, definitely the Patriots defense, or are

690
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: worth they start? I mean, you know, the Jets, I

691
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: know they've had the buy they've had the time to

692
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: sort of try and get ready, but let's be real,

693
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: that offense has been bad. Sam Donald has been a

694
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: turnover machine this year or so I would definitely fire

695
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: up that the Patriots defense. Bill Belichick don't need an

696
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: extra week to prepare for Josh McCowan either. Maybe Chris

697
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: Herndon in this game, but I mean that's it. There's

698
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: not that for the Jets, um Giants at Eagles. So

699
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: I know there's been some some kind of chatter that

700
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: maybe Eli still has something left because he's had a

701
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: couple of nice games in a row, like is he

702
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: really back or did he just play the Niners and

703
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: Buccaneers and back to back weeks. But I mean, now

704
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: you can you can maybe suggest well after those wee

705
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: they're all there. Injuries have decimated this defense, Like I mean,

706
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: I get it, like the Saint's offense is ridiculous, but

707
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: maybe maybe getting their their butts whipped like that sort

708
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: of gave him a gave him a kick in the rear.

709
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: Uh And Malcolm Jenkins mount and said so much that

710
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, it was an embarrassment. They're the Super Bowl

711
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: champions and they got embarrassed by the Saints. So I

712
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I trust Eli has anything more than

713
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: a QP two flex and and a super flex um.

714
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: There's too many good quarterbacks out there for me to

715
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: go out and say that Eli man he's a good

716
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: play um. But with that being said, the Eagles defense

717
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: has been given it up lately. They really have well

718
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: and the thing about Eli is that he's had some

719
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: decent fantasy games, but the yardage really hasn't been there. Um.

720
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: Last week he was super efficient. He was seventeen three

721
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: touchdowns to thirty one. In the week before that, he

722
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: had a yards. The good news is that the last

723
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: two weeks uh I combined five touchdowns and no interceptions.

724
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 1: But I mean, Eli Manning, the no interception thing doesn't

725
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: really last for long with him, and if he's not

726
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: putting up big yardage, those interceptions hurt a whole lot. Yeah,

727
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: no doubt. So he's he he's he's a guy. I

728
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: mean earlier this season, I think it was like Week six.

729
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: I don't know that Eli had like even double edges

730
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: against them. I remember he had a bad game again them.

731
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, but the Eagles are all banged up. Yeah,

732
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: speaking of the Eagles, Okay, zach Ertz, we we know

733
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine, even though the line of last

734
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: week wasn't great. But I'm not worried about zach ERT's

735
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: long term. But which other wide receivers can you trust? All?

736
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey has been inconsistent. Uh, you know, Golden Tate

737
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: has yet to really make a huge impact. He had

738
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: a decent game last week. They they still throw to

739
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: Nelson Agalore every once in a while, like Jordan Matthews

740
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: gets targets. There's just I can't find one Eagles receiver

741
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: to just zero in on, right. If there's one, it's Jeffrey.

742
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: The rapport is they're uh with Carson Wentz. I don't

743
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: trust Golden Tate and he actually lad the Eagles and targets,

744
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: catches and yards last season. Last week and he still

745
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 1: scored like nine points in PPR, which is bad. The

746
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: Giants have given up the fewest points and they haven't

747
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,919
Speaker 1: given up a touchdown to a slot receiver all season long.

748
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: So Eddie, as bad as you know, the Giants defense

749
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: has been at times this season, slot receivers don't find

750
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: much success against them. I'm fading Golden Tape. This is

751
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: what I was worried about when that trade happened, was

752
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: that Tate was gonna kind of get eaten up in

753
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: the number of miles to feed in this offense. And

754
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: now you have another one in Josh Adams who looked

755
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: really good last week. So t it's a fade for me.

756
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: I think the only receiver in Philadelphia that I would play,

757
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: not maybe with confidence, is al Sean. Yeah, I mean

758
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: see Alshan, the guy that I I suggested trading away

759
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 1: just because one there's the inconsistency there, but he's the

760
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: guy the one that has had the best protection. I

761
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 1: think he's the easiest guy. If you're trying to sell

762
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: somebody on a trade for an Eagles wide receiver, I

763
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: think he's the easiest one. I think everybody else you

764
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: really have to do a hard sell to like convinced

765
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 1: somebody that, hey, you know, Golden Tate here. Um, you know,

766
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: so there you go. Cardinals at Chargers. The Charger secondary

767
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: the last few weeks has not been great. The the

768
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: numbers against them have been really encouraging if you have

769
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: an offensive player. But do you believe enough in Arizona's

770
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: passing game to consider starting? I mean, Josh Rosen is

771
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,760
Speaker 1: is not a thing. But I mean, you know, Larry

772
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: fitziolda had to touchdowns. He also had two catches two catches.

773
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had some decent numbers, not great. I mean,

774
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: is there anybody you believe in enough that you would

775
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: for real start them this week? Uh? In their pass attack? Yeah?

776
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even like Fitzgerald this week. And

777
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: I liked him last week and luckily he saved my

778
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: bacon because he did score two touchdowns, and I I

779
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: just I wouldn't play them. The Charges have been really

780
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: tough on slot receivers. I think they've given up I

781
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: think it's the third fewest Fantasy points the fifth US

782
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 1: argently two touchdowns to slot receivers. You know, Josh Rosen

783
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: is a young quarterback. He's got plenty of upside, but

784
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: he's making a lot of mistakes right now, so that

785
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: is a that is a wide receiver that I would

786
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: fade now if you want to flip that to the

787
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: Chargers side. Now. Rivers burned me last week. I didn't

788
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,439
Speaker 1: love the matchup traditionally, he hadn't been good at home

789
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, and he had twenty had two picks,

790
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: but he had twenty points. But I was digging up

791
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: for some stats for startup in Sidnam Marcus this week,

792
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: and I was very surprised to see that not only

793
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 1: have the Cardinals allowed the second fewest points to quarterbacks

794
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: this season, but the only quarterback to finish better than

795
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: eighteen against them this year was Patrick Mahomes and he

796
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: only finished It's got a while. So part of it

797
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: is teams are running the ball down Arizona's throat and

798
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: so their quarterbacks don't need to do a heck of

799
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot. And I wonder if game script is gonna

800
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: not favor Rivers and clearly favor Melvin Gordon. Maybe Austin Ekeler,

801
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,720
Speaker 1: although he's been kind of ever in the last few weeks,

802
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: and I have Rivers as a beware. I guess he's

803
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: in the sitting portion of the column this week. But

804
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of a beware because the Cardinals defense against

805
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: the past, you know whatever, the reason has been tough

806
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:47,720
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks. Yeah, you know, I don't know that. I

807
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: mean it guess have been to who else I might

808
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: have on my roster. I would have a hard time

809
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,760
Speaker 1: sitting Philip Rivers. But yeah, I get it. I totally,

810
00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: I totally get that. Um So, Dolphins at Colts. Ryan

811
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: Tannehill is expecting to come back this week after having

812
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: an extended absence. Does it change anything for you? You

813
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: know what, I wouldn't be surprised if Tannel had a

814
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: decent game because of game script. I really wouldn't. I mean,

815
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: Andrew luck Is is you know, re established himself as

816
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: an elite fantasy quarterback. Um, I wouldn't be surprised if

817
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: Tannehill gave you like eighteen in this game we've seen

818
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing. It seems like the Colts play at home

819
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: every week, right, every week they're at home, Which is

820
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: great for me because I have luck at one of

821
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: my leaks. But he every week it seems like you're

822
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: at home there. It's it's insane. So but no, I

823
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm not telling you to start Ryan Tannehill.

824
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that I think, based on the potential

825
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: for this team to fall behind and the fact that

826
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is probably going to serve the Dolphins very cold, perkey,

827
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. This is a This is

828
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: a game where Tannehill could give you to fifty and

829
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns. Man, Now, I'm not telling you

830
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: to start them. I'm saying he could give you a

831
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: nice doline because of the game script. I still don't

832
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: love any of the wide receivers there. Danny Almidol is

833
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: the only guy that I would have a little bit

834
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: of faith in PPR leagues because he's had a decent

835
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: floor lately. Right, I'm just looking so I'm looking at

836
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: next week's schedule, right like, if, if indeed Ryan Tannehill

837
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: has a nice game against the Colts and if everybody

838
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: runs out to see if they want to start him,

839
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: he's at home against the Bills the week after, I

840
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: don't know. No, I'm looking at it too. Then he

841
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: got Patriots, then he got Vikings and then Jaguars. So hey, listen,

842
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: I'm in one of my leagues is a super flex league.

843
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: I've seen him picked up he's gonna get started in

844
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: some leagues. I think he may be pleasantly surprised by

845
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: the number. I legitimately kind of forgot that he was

846
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: a thing until I saw the reports that he was

847
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: coming back. You would think that the Dolphins are going

848
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: to have to move on from him at some point, right,

849
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later at some point, man. Um, So,

850
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: I was looking at the Colts offense and their bald distribution,

851
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: the way they spread things around here, and it sort

852
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: of struck me that they have kind of become what

853
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: the Saints were a few years ago, where you've got

854
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback and Andrew Luck that you know you're starting

855
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: every week, just like you know Drew Brees is the

856
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 1: guy you're starting every week. But because of the way

857
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: he spread the ball around, it's made it hard to

858
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: consistently count on any of his pass catchers. Really. I mean,

859
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron leads the team and catches tied for second,

860
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton not really a surprise, and Naim heines

861
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: it's tied for for a second. Yeah, at least season. Yeah,

862
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: and um, that's just kind of wild that there are

863
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: no other Colts pass catchers that I can really count on.

864
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: You know, we tried Grant, Schuster, Rogers, there's just really

865
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: nobody there. Yeah, Rogers kind of faded once t Y

866
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: came back, and Ryan Grant's been banged up, and I

867
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: mean even Abron, Like you know, we talked about it

868
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 1: on Monday, what we saw from him the previous week,

869
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 1: and he scores three touchdowns and oh my gosh, he's

870
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: the greatest tight end in fantasy football. He's not run

871
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of routes, he's not playing a lot of snaps,

872
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: So it wasn't a surprise that last week the only

873
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:57,360
Speaker 1: time he touched the ball was to throw it to

874
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, which was a surprise, but he didn't get

875
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 1: targeted in the game. And that's kind of what you

876
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: have with eric Keybron. He can give you some big

877
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: stat lines, but his floor is also scary, scary low.

878
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 1: I like Doyle in this game. That keep in mind

879
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: the the Dolphins have given up big games two Michael

880
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,839
Speaker 1: Roberts and Jordan Thomas at the tight end position. So

881
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: I think Doyle has a nice game. But you're right,

882
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: it's hard to trust anybody. Uh that's that's not t

883
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: Y Hilton in that passing offense for The one player

884
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: I do trust this week is Marlon Mack. Didn't love

885
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: the matchup. He gave you a respectable thirteen last week,

886
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: not bad, got into the end zone. But the Dolphins

887
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: are giving up right around five yards of rushing over

888
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: thirty fantasy points a game the running backs this season

889
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: away from South Beach. So Mac is back in the

890
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,439
Speaker 1: good graces for me. All right, um wait, what about?

891
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: What about? What do we do with Kenyan Drake? I

892
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: want to hear your thoughts on Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore,

893
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: the guy that you love who live forever. Like, I

894
00:42:58,120 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 1: don't know what to do about Kenyan Drake. I really don't.

895
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm at the point where, like I think Frank Gore's

896
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: a decent flex because he's gonna get tar, he's gonna

897
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: get opportunities. We know he's gonna get those touches every

898
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: single week, and so he's a guy that I would

899
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 1: consider as a flex option. The only fear is is

900
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: game script. Here you talk about the game script working

901
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: in favor of Ryan Tannehill, that means it works against

902
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,800
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. If they do have to throw the football

903
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: a ton, suddenly you're not running it nearly as much.

904
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: Suddenly Frank Gore doesn't have quite the level of impact

905
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: that he might have, So maybe maybe this game script

906
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: sort of works in Kenyan Drake's favor. But even then,

907
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: it just feels like when the Dolphins have to go

908
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: into attack mode and throw the football a lot, that

909
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: it just sort of cancels out their running backs altogether.

910
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: So Kenyan Drake's a guy that I started avoiding just

911
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 1: because I just there's no rhyme or reason to how

912
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: they use him in that offense and the figure it out.

913
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: I know, he is a he is a risk reward

914
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: RB to flex every single week. Just it's not it

915
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with with Kenyan Drake, right. I

916
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: feel like it's like good will hunting. It's not your fault,

917
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: it's not I mean, just Adam Gates just I don't know,

918
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: has no consistency with how they use him. Steelers at Broncos,

919
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: Big Ben. This is not a home road narrative. This

920
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: is just more about the Broncos have sort of struggled

921
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,719
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks. Do you stay with Ben this week? Yeah?

922
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean I would. I don't have him in my

923
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: top eight, but he's a startable option It's crazy how

924
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: that whole thing has flipped. So in his last what

925
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: four games, so last week we thought it was back on.

926
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: He had negative Fantasy points in the first half in

927
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 1: Jackson and then went on to score over twenty two

928
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: in the second year. So his last what four games

929
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: on the road, he's had one and twenty four. Now

930
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: He's played some some bad defenses, but not last year.

931
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,439
Speaker 1: If you ask me this question, Marcus, I said, hell, no,

932
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm not playing big Ben Robinsburger. But right now, the

933
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: Steelers need to keep winning games. That you you mentioned

934
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos defenses, I mean, we're not looking at the

935
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: novel zone. Yeah, it's it's not the same as it

936
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: as it once was. Uh. Philip Lindsay has been great

937
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: for the Broncos this year, but the Steelers run defense,

938
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: especially recently, has really started to clamp down. Do you

939
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: trust Phil Lindsay? Heck, yeah, okay, absolutely do Uh, no

940
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: question about that. He was among my starts last week.

941
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: He will be among my starts this week. And you know,

942
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: I get it. Like overall, the charger of the Steelers

943
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: defense has been has been tough against the run. But

944
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: let's look at the last couple of weeks. Two weeks

945
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: ago Thursday Night Football, McCaffrey has three. Last week Leonard four.

946
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: Nette He's got two. So it's trending in the wrong direction,

947
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: or it's the right direction if Linda lindsay perfectly the

948
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: right direction. Packers at Vikings uh mvs. Marquez Valdez. Scantling

949
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: was a disappointment last week. Do you avoid him this

950
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: week against the Vikings? I do. I don't like the

951
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: matchup and Randall Cobb has returned to a limited practice.

952
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he's coming back this week or not,

953
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: but that that would also factor in a decision. But um,

954
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: not not big on mvs this week. Uh. Jimmy Graham

955
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: says he wants to come back and play through his

956
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: broken thumb. He hasn't been great when he had two

957
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: healthy hands. I don't know that I want to trust

958
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: him with one good now. Now, even if he plays

959
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: man like he he's he's played his way out of

960
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 1: fantasy starting lineup. So even if he does like I

961
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: played Bred over him this week. Yeah, it's just all

962
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: day long, there's a bunch of tight ends. I'd play

963
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 1: over Jimmy Graham this week. I just don't trust him.

964
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, hell, Jeff Hierman might be a guy that

965
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: i'd start over to Jimmy Graham this week. This just

966
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: continues to be on McDonald. I know, one of more

967
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: heads scratching from the year. Yeah. I can't figure out

968
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: what what has gone wrong? You know, Um, kirk Cousins

969
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,240
Speaker 1: on paper has a really good match against the Packers.

970
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: But Kirk Cousins has not really exploited some of the

971
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: good matchups he's had in the past this year. Would

972
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: you give him a start on Sunday? Yeah? I dig him. Um,

973
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: I'm playing him over Russell Wilson in our league this week.

974
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: And I remember back to Week two. I believe it

975
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: was had it was his best game. I think he

976
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: had four plus yards um, four touchdowns. I would play

977
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: him this week. I like him. I think he's he's

978
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: a guy who who can give you, you you know, twenty

979
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: plus points easily this week and what should be a

980
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: high scoring game. All right, Um, Texans or Titans at

981
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: Texans rather channeling drafts from garden? Why are the Titans?

982
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not I can't you know. Two weeks

983
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: ago it looked great they beat the Patriots. You know,

984
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is talking trash and stuff. Last week they

985
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: looked awful and what was a big game for them

986
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: in the division. I can't I can't make heads or

987
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: tails of this off. It's like it's just caused me

988
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: to generally stay away from everybody. There's there's not anybody

989
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: you're probably playing Dean Lewis and PPR. I mean, Corey Davis.

990
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: You want to talk about a guy who drives you nuts.

991
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 1: He looks like, you know, the the next coming of

992
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: of of Terrell Owens one week and then the next

993
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: week he's He's brutal. You just can't trust him. I

994
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 1: don't like the matchup this week for for CD, so

995
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: I would keep him on the sidelines. No, there's there's

996
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: not a Titan you can trust. And you don't even

997
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 1: know what the deal is with Mariotta, and considering this

998
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: is a money night game, he's basically unstartable, despite the

999
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: fact that he's had twenty and two of his last

1000
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: three games unstartable. I wouldn't play him anyways, even if

1001
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: he was healthy, because I'm thinking, you know that that

1002
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: Texas defense and how many games have they won now

1003
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: in a row, like six or seven? I mean that

1004
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 1: their defense is playing well. Um, there's not a lot

1005
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: to like when you're looking at that Titans offense from

1006
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective. Yeah, you know it's funny and not

1007
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 1: from a fantasy issue, But that's a team we're not

1008
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: really talking about everybody. It's about the Rams and the

1009
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Saints, and you know what's wrong with

1010
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Nobody's playing attention to the Houston text. There's

1011
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: seven and three, um, you know, in a division that

1012
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: is certainly very winnable. Um, and nobody nobody's talking about.

1013
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: They're just cruising along. Um. Deshaun Watson has had some

1014
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: good fantasy games recently, but he has not been over

1015
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty yards passing in a while. Is

1016
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: this the week you think he tops two fifty? Probably not.

1017
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the Titans. There's a lot wrong

1018
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: with the Titans right now. You know their defense. You know,

1019
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: I get it that they they've been uneven, but I

1020
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,440
Speaker 1: mean overall, this is a pretty tough defense. So I

1021
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know that he's going over to fifty for me.

1022
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: You know, Watson, he had nine points last week, um,

1023
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: and he's given you a fewer than eleven and three

1024
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: of his last five. So he's kind of become one

1025
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks that has the massive upside, but he's

1026
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: been a bit hard to trust because the position is

1027
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 1: so deep. For example, I'm in a league where I

1028
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: have Watson. I drafted Watson thinking he'd be my QB

1029
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: one every single week, and I ended up getting Andrew

1030
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 1: Look off the waiver wire after someone dropped them after

1031
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: week one. And Watson has not been on my on

1032
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: my roster since he and I sat him for that

1033
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: huge game he had where he had the five touchdowns.

1034
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 1: But it's been all Andrew luck because Watson just not

1035
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: performing as well as I was. I was sort of

1036
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: hoping that he would, and this week I'd say his

1037
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: I'd say his ceiling is probably right around and and

1038
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: his floors, his floor could be as low as, you know,

1039
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: ten to twelve points. I mean, you want more proof

1040
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: that that this thing can be fully unpredictable at times, right,

1041
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers was the QB one people have

1042
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of people had. Deshaun Watson is their QB

1043
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: two coming off the board right now. Rogers is the

1044
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: number nine QB. Deshaun Watson is number twelve, just just

1045
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:21,240
Speaker 1: to prove, just to show you this thing. Yeah, you know, hey, folks,

1046
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: we do our best. But it ain't easy. It ain't easy.

1047
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: Predicting the future is hard. I mean, Mitchell Robiskie's you know,

1048
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: been better. I mean he's got more points up, more

1049
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: points than Rogers and Luck and Rivers and Cousins, Wilson

1050
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: and Lotson, and predicting the future is hard. It's a

1051
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: lot of fun to try. There is, so there is.

1052
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: Those are week twelve preview Best of Luck starting on Thursday.

1053
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: So remember, if you're listening to this on Wednesday or

1054
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 1: very early Thursday morning, set your line ups, make sure

1055
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 1: you get them in because the game start in just

1056
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. So, uh, Eddie, do you have a

1057
00:50:54,040 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: deliterious pick for us? Of course, So I'm I'm picking

1058
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: this one based off of ugly quarterback controversy that I

1059
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: think would be a fun little spin on the NFL

1060
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,839
Speaker 1: season in the end. Uh as it wraps up here,

1061
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: Raiders at Ravens. Obviously Lamar Jackson starting at quarterback. I'm

1062
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:19,280
Speaker 1: gonna say that after his running performance last week versus

1063
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: Raiders team who's basically just quit every single game they played,

1064
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna not only throw for two and g rs,

1065
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna run for a buck fifty and score one

1066
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 1: one in the air and one on the ground. And

1067
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: then Joe Flackle we healed, and then they'll have a

1068
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: real problem on their hands or just a really expensive backup. Wow.

1069
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: Although I will say this though, I'm not sure how

1070
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: much longer even your quarterback having twenty seven rush attempts,

1071
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: I don't know sure how long Covie, your quarterback. Yeah,

1072
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: that's you probably want to avoid the the time being.

1073
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 1: He'll get it this week first, because the Raiders won't

1074
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: care to tackle him, So this is the one opportunity

1075
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 1: to actually to succeed. I don't know if that they

1076
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: don't care to tackle him is that I don't think

1077
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: anyone on that roster can catch him. I mean, very true.

1078
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: I just don't think they can catch especially to the

1079
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: step that Graham gave like that he had the most

1080
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: amount of fifteen plus runs. I mean, that's it's insane. Yeah,

1081
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean they may try to catch him, they just

1082
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: do something they're physically able to. And it's not like

1083
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 1: you can't prove a ball either. I mean, we all

1084
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: watched him in Louisville what he could do, Like he

1085
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: was just playing like you know, street ball basically and

1086
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 1: just rolling around finding the open guy and he could

1087
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: chuck it. So I think Lamar has a pretty massive

1088
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: game uh for the Ravens this week. Um. Okay, So

1089
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: as we get out of here, Uh, I just want

1090
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: to you know it it is Thanksgiving and to the

1091
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: time of year for us to kind of you know,

00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,640

1105
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,160

Speaker 1: events of it being you know, supposed to be in

1107
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,480

1108
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: on the terror from the field as that game ended

1109
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 1: to somehow being in the corner end zone where the

1110
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 1: Rams got their game winning touchdown, and just to experience

1111
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,440
Speaker 1: that whole um, the vibe there, the electricity in that

1112
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: field that it really did feel like almost the Super Bowl,

1113
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I don't know if any game

Speaker 1: of the score being fifty and one with some of

1117
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: the greatest players of the generation, seeing Donald in the

1164
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: I'm thankful that USC just has one more football game

1165

00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: And you say, I I agree. I think it could

1171
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 1: be a track game though, and you're making the team

1172
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: travel out west. But I hope things go according to plans.

1173
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: So but yeah, I'm thankful that they only have one

1174
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: more game and I can just be rid of this football,

1175
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,439
