Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy. It's Tuesday, let's get right to it.

16
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Get those claims in. I was so eager for my

17
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: waiver claim that I was trying to do it last night.

18
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: It was like this action cannot be executed. Repaving it, Mike,

19
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: I kept hitting refreshed on NFL Dot. I'm not kidding,

20
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: because I was so excited about a tight end that

21
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: appeared in our experts league. By the way, I'm looking

22
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: forward to picking up who's your number one waiver wire

23
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: target FABS right now? It's Rick McKinnon, and I was

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: surprised that he was available in so many leagues on

25
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com right now available in over. He has

26
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: become the top running back in Minnesota. My boy Matt

27
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: Asiata his days as the number one officially over. McKinnon

28
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: is exciting, he's elusive, he's fast, and he's playing the

29
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Bucks this week. I don't know if you can get

30
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: a better matchup as a running back, maybe the Atlanta Falcons,

31
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: but the Bucks are not good defensively. So McKinnon is

32
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: an ad and start bar and with the rookie quarterback

33
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: in his backfield, they're going to trust the running back

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot more and the quarterback of the game is

35
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: in the balance. How about it, talk Bar. You know,

36
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: for me, this is a sneaky one. I wouldn't necessarily

37
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: he's my number one, maybe my one point five, so

38
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: to speak, But it's gonna be Brandon laphil this office.

39
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, I know you're kind of an in your

40
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: one and now that because no, no, no, it's Brandon

41
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: Laphil And that's because this offense is really starting to

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: get a lot of push. Now. You saw the momentum

43
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,119
Speaker 1: that they're starting to go with. He's the third most

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: targeted wide receiver on the team right now, and he's

45
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: really starting to develop. The chemistry with Tom Brady and

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is on point right now, Tom tom Brady's

47
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: on point. Yeah, he's on point. You know, our James

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Coe needs a quarterback. He's trying to get through Breese

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: for me, and I also have Tom Brady. Oh you

50
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: better move one of those. What do you think should I?

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: Can I get Julius Thomas for Tom Brady if he's

52
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: desperate enough. I think he be coming for you. I'm

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: coming for you, Tom Brady, Julius Thomas, You're a smart man.

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: All right. We'll have more waiver wire targets later in

55
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: the show, but now we throw it to Marcus Grant

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: and Adam Rank. If your money, you are getting your

57
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: caught up as we always do with all the latest

58
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: news and notes from a down the National Football League.

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Let's start in Detroit on Monday. Start receiver Calvin Johnson

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: traveled with the team to London for the Lions match

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: up with the Falcons this week. Megatron's missed the last

62
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: two games due to an ankle injury, but his traveling

63
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: is a good sign. On Tuesday, when asked about his rehab,

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Megatron told NFL network Steve Weisch quote, I'm back running.

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: That's a great thing for me right now. Sounds like

66
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: Calvin might actually play this week, So Rank, if Megatron plays,

67
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: can you confidently start Matt staff I don't confidently start anybody,

68
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: but you should know that I'm nervous about everybody. But

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: this is good news for Stafford. This is good news

70
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: also for Golden Tate, who played so well in his

71
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: in his absence last week. Because if you have somebody

72
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: like Calvin Johnson with a team that doesn't have a

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: great secondary, and then the Falcons certainly don't, this is

74
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: great all the way around. So I really like this move.

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully he does play this week, And of course, if

76
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson is playing for the Detroit Lions, he's playing

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: for my fantasy football team. It's been amazing to watch

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: how much that Lions often struggles without him on the field.

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing. We will have more on the lines

80
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: of talks matchup later with Steve Weisch live from London

81
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: to make sure you stick around for that one. Meanwhile,

82
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: appearing on nfl a M Monday Morning, Bengals Pro Bowl

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: receiver A J. Green said he's getting healthier, but his

84
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: status is still up in the air. A J. Has

85
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: missed the team's last two games due to a lingering

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: toe issue. Green also admitted during the interview that he

87
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: probably won't be fully healthy for the rest of this season.

88
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: So now knowing that if Green does play Sunday against

89
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens, does he start for you? Yes, certainly. As

90
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: long as he's able to go, he's gonna be out

91
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: there and starting for me. Of course, having him on

92
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: the field will make Giovanni Bernard a little bit better.

93
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: They can't commit to say they have you know, they

94
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: have to move those safeties back. They can't sneak one

95
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: of them into the boxers. That was a big problem

96
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: last week. So it's gonna help all the way around.

97
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: Just to have him on the field for your fantasy team,

98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but for the rest of the Bengals,

99
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you're starting absolutely, which means it helps if you have

100
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: Gio Bernard and guys, absolutely stick with that. Some bad

101
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: news for the New Orleans Saints. Ian Rappaport is reporting

102
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: that running back Pierre Thomas is expected to miss two

103
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: to three weeks due to a shoulder injury. Tom Us

104
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: left Sunday's lost to Detroit in the third quarter with

105
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: that shoulder issue. So Rank, which one of the myriad

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: of Saints running backs the expect is going to pick

107
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: up Thomas's touches while he's gone. Well, this was a

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: tough one because they had a tough match up against

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: the Lions. We're just kind of watching the way they

110
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: played out. Mark Ingram was back into the mix. Kyrie Robinson,

111
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: we'll be back in the mix two. But Cadet could

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: be the guy who comes in and takes that role

113
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: as kind of the swing back, the third down back.

114
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: So really there's a hodgepodge of it. We were really

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: never know what what John Payton is thinking. So Kyrie

116
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: in Ingram are the two guys I'm watching the most, Like,

117
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I just know he's gonna come in. We're gonna be

118
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: doing that helps No One on Monday, and boom there

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: he is. Translation, go get Austin Johnson. Moving on to

120
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: the Jaguars when Asta running back Denard Robinson would keep

121
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: the starting job moving forward. After his one twenty seven

122
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: yard performance, Sunday, head coach Gus Bradley told the media,

123
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: I think so he did a good job. Thanks for that.

124
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: And it's a quarter of the Florida Times Union. Now,

125
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: if Robinson doesn't have the starting gig, is he worth

126
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: plugging into your lineup every week? You know what? It's

127
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna be pended on the matchup. He's one of those

128
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: guys you look at. Was very exciting. He can also

129
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: he could do a lot of different things. He adds

130
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of unpredictability to the offense, which is good,

131
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: is something that team needed. But yeah, it's gonna be

132
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: a matchup play and but certainly somebody who go out

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: and get on the wave of wire this week and

134
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: then go ahead and see how it goes there. You

135
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: go go tie up the shoelace from what I We'll

136
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: throw it back to money and the guys. All right,

137
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: thank you guys. The three and three Texans squared off

138
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: versus the three and three Steelers Monday night in Pittsburgh.

139
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: What are we saying? Big big contest to the highlights

140
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, big guy Arian Foster, the centerpiece of that

141
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: Houston Texans Bill O'Brien offense. And here we go straight

142
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: out the gate up the middle. It's at the air

143
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: the b gap right right there, so thirty three yards. Uh.

144
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: And then how about Alfred Blue getting the touchdown catch

145
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 1: that would put them up seven nothing, Steelers down thirteen three,

146
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: first and ten after thirty five. Here's Big Ben and

147
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Mark Tavis Brian for yard touchdown bump against the wall,

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: thirteen ten. Things just starting to turn around for the

149
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: Steelers after an Arian Foster fumble. Steelers now first and

150
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: goal inside the five. And how about this bit of

151
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: trickery from Todd Haley. Look at this leg and away

152
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,760

00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: point Steelers up seventeen thirteen after another Houston turnover, Steelers

156
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: have it on the two second and goals maybe or

157
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: the easy touchtoff what's the tap? Watch the tap? Look

158
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: at the Steelers would score twenty four points in less

159
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: than three minutes. Bell with twenty point five fantasy points.

160
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Here we go up sixteen. Then lobs for Brown that

161
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: was in. I don't care what they said. Well it

162
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: wasn't in. He was out by about a half inch.

163
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: You could see from the diving and look at that

164
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: one of us right there. No no, of course, So

165
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: that just happened at the end of the game with

166
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: seconds left. There you go, Aaron Foster gets his fantasy owners.

167
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: That showed faith and Foster drafting and perhaps in the

168
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: late first round, early second fifteen and a half points.

169
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh though, holds on thirty three. And here you go

170
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: a lot of points. And whenever we see a lot

171
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: of points on Monday that football, we of course know

172
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: that a lot of fantasy fortunes shifted on that one game.

173
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: It just started. Levy on Bell getting nearly twenty one

174
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: points even though he didn't rushed for a touchdown. Antonio

175
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Brown gives you double digits again, we'll get to that

176
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: in a moment. Gave you over twenty if touchdown County

177
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: exactly so right there on the cuff of those twenty points.

178
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Let's go with Arian Foster and Leby on Bell. Guys,

179
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: Currently they are the third and fourth pranked running backs

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: right there, neck and neck based on total fantasy points.

181
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: And here's a look, and this is what you gotta

182
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: start thinking about playoff schedules Week fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen. So,

183
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: knowing what we know, how they're being used, which running back,

184
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: Let's say maybe you get offered a trade. Do you

185
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: have Levian Bell, they offer you Arian Foster, you have

186
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: Arian Foster, you get offered Levian Bell. Which back would

187
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: you rather have? Why you play the rest of the season?

188
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Why you play? This is a really hard that's a

189
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: really good one. It is. I've got a side with

190
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. I've got a side with the younger guy

191
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: who hasn't had a history of injuries and isn't coming

192
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: off a back surgery. No, Foster has been great. I

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: like the schedule there the Atlanta Falcons in week fifteen.

194
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: Oh man, that is a great matchup in Kansas City

195
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: in week sixteen, which is your super Bowl. The Chiefs

196
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: much better at home defensively than they are on the

197
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: road in that game would be at Hines Field. So

198
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm going with Bell here. Well, you just mentioned the numbers.

199
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: Bell does have the sixth easiest schedule when it comes

200
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: to fantasy points. Against for running backs, while Arian Foster

201
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: has the eleventh toughest. How about you a bar are

202
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: you in concert with the I am. I'm gonna go

203
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: Levian Bill as well. And on top of that, they

204
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: have a better quarterback. And I think when you have

205
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: a better quarterback, you have a better wide receiver. That's

206
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: gonna give you more opportunities to be able to have

207
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: those holes opened up. So he's gonna be going up

208
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: against soft rolls and that that Kansas City Chiefs defense

209
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: isn't the same Kansas City chief defense that we've known

210
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: from last year, so there is a lot of room

211
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: for him to be able to explode and have very

212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: big games play. I do like that first game of

213
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: the week for against the excuse me, the Jacksonville Jaguar

214
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: for Aeron Foster. But it's the one thing I just

215
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: to give the other side the counterpoint that I would say,

216
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: as you mentioned the quarterback and the fact that he

217
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: does have Antonio Brown and Todd Haley does like to

218
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: sling that ball around. The Texans. I mean, they've got

219
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: to run the ball. They're only three and four, they're

220
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: still in the playoff race, and Arian Foster is their

221
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: best option. In terms of putting points on the board

222
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: and trying to lean on J. J. Watt. So I

223
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: guess the confidence for Arian Fosters. You know, he's going

224
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: to get touches even though he fumbled it inside the

225
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: five and led to one of those touchdowns. That's what

226
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: they do. I mean they run zone. Arian Foster is

227
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: one of the best zone running running backs in the league,

228
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: and he's going to get his touches every single week.

229
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: I just love the idea of consistency going through the

230
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: rest of the season and into the playoffs. Arian Foster

231
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: is a stud, and he's been a stud for most

232
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: of the last four years. So I'd like to have

233
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: either one of them. I had to choose one. Alright,

234
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: let's go. Let's go to Antonio Brown, the number one

235
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver in fantasy. Look at his production. I mean,

236
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: you've got two weeks over twenty points standard scoring. Standard

237
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: scoring is not PPR'SPR is a monster, so standard scoring.

238
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: You only have one week under ten points, and he's

239
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: still got you eight and a half. You know why

240
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: he did that, right, He did that because his number

241
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: eight point four. Everyone doesn't like you the What would

242
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: you have to give up? Because let's let's say you

243
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: look at it. He is clearly a target you're gonna

244
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: want to go after. Here. If you need a wide receiver,

245
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: perhaps somebody that has him drafted did not draft a

246
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: running back. They took Antonio Brown at the back end

247
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: of the first What are we talking about? What are

248
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: we giving up to get Antonio? I'll tell you what

249
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: I'd give him. I give up an RB one, and

250
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: perhaps to make it a little sweeter, because you're losing

251
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: a wide receiver, I'd give you a mid tier wide receiver.

252
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: Throw that, bundle that in the package, so perhaps like

253
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: an Andre Ellington and throw you in like a mid

254
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: tier wide receiver, just to give you that that comfort

255
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: that you're losing a wide receiver. But he's that good,

256
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: I have to give up RV one. How about this, FABS.

257
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: Let's say, and here's a serious hypothetical. Let's say Megatron

258
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: goes off for twenty five points over there in London.

259
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: Can you offer up Megatron for Antonio Brown? Would you

260
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 1: do that? If you had Megatron? You know what, I

261
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: would rather have Antonio Brown at this point, I really

262
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: would not. I don't know if the Megatron is gonna

263
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: play this weep. We don't know hypothetically, hypothetically speaking, but

264
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: Brown is just the better wide receiver right now. He

265
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: really is, and he is the guy there. I know

266
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: Calvin's the guy in Detroit, but Golden Tate is also there,

267
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Doke Bell is also there, Reggie Bush is also there.

268
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: So I'd rather have Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, A J. Green,

269
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. If if you don't have Antonio Brown and

270
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: you have one of them, you're trading them for Antonio Brown.

271
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: You're making that offer I don't want because of the Nelson.

272
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: Can I throw around with the guy? Right, I'm gonna

273
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: throw a red flag here. I want to challenge that.

274
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: The only reason why I'm challenging is because Antonio Brown's

275
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: number one right now because A. J. Green and Calvin

276
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: Johnson haven't been healthy. But if Calvin Johnson is healthy,

277
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: there's no way to Antonio Brown number one in the

278
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: National Football League. It's not gonna happen. Are his numbers

279
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: after that first week? But think he's got one, He's

280
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: got Golden taken off. Gentlemen, if I made that much more,

281
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: if I may interject, and this is how deals are made, right,

282
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: This is deals are making, so lob it out there

283
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: in your league. Make that trade. Roddy White lad the

Speaker 1: For some of those lucky fans fabs. You'll get a

296
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: started with the quarterback Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson, he made

297
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: a little history this week right, the first player in

298
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: NFL history to have three un passing yards and a

299
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards in the same game. He has now

300
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: scored thirty plus fantasy points in two of his last

301
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: three games, and money a big part of the reason

302
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: why he's running with the football. He has a hundred

303
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: plus yards and two of those three games where he

304
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: has scored thirty plus fantasy points. And he's emerged as

305
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: a guy right now who is amongst the elite. Not

306
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck, but he's very very close

307
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: to being on that level. And Russell Wilson helped me

308
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: beat James co this week in our NFL Fantasy Lightly

309
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: looks like my end up as a top five quarterback

310
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: this season. Akbar. I know you never pass up an

311
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: opportunity to talk about Ronnie him. Why because he went

312
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: to San Diego State exactly why. That's because my my, my,

313
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: my uncle will call him a bombunical performance, not player performer.

314
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Because the way he played against the New York Jets,

315
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: the way he played against the San Francis before Nights,

316
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: who both have great run defense. He showed me that

317
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: he could play, and not only that, his ability to

318
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: do things out of the backfield. His will. He's now saturated.

319
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: He understands this passing game that the Denver Broncos are operating,

320
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: and he is a force to be reckon. He's gonna

321
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: do the same thing he did in college. Let's stick

322
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: with the Broncos and go with what was a ridiculous

323
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: performance from Damerius. He is so good. He is absolutely

324
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in fantasy football right now. Over

325
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: the last three games, five receiving arts. Receiving arts. That's

326
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: a hundred one more than any other player. A hundred one.

327
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: That's how good he's been. Five touchdowns in his last

328
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: three games. That leads the National Football League. Thomas is

329
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: another member of my fantasy football teams Fantasy league. That's

330
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: why I'm smiling a lot. You know. You know, he

331
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: was a member of my fantasy team in the Fantasy

332
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Experts League, Golden Tate, and I was taken on America's team,

333
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: And perhaps I embraced my communist role this week because

334
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: I was going against America's team and did not want

335
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: to acknowledge materialism and capitalism in the gold standards. So

336
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: I benched Golden Tap and his twenty one points and

337
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: I lost eight. What happens. At least I benched him

338
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: from mark Ingram, who got me two points. Golden Tape.

339
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 1: By the way, he is averaging nine targets per game.

340
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: He is clearly well. Megatron's in there. But even when

341
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: he is in there. He's still getting seven plus targets.

342
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: Must start, must start moving forward. That was game Changers

343
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: presented by Bows for more. Now we throw it to

344
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: Adam and Marcus. Thanks Money. I'm here with NFL dot

345
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Com Fantasy editor Marcus Grants standing right over there. And

346
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: every week you write a column called Fantasy Breakdown. Not

347
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: only does it get that song stuck in my head

348
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: and I did not like Jack Johnson, but tell us

349
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: a little bit about the column. Wow, I need this here.

350
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: You know it's if you are a wide receiver. You

351
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: can't score fantasy points about the football. You can't get

352
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: the football and lest somebody's throwing it to you every week.

353
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: I take a look at all the targets and the

354
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: guys who were getting the ball throw in there. All right,

355
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: let's take a look at Week seven's most targeted players.

356
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: That only coming at your right here. Roddy White leads

357
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: the way with fifteen targets. Sammy Watkins getting the ball

358
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: thrown to him a lot by Kyle Orton, Golden Tat

359
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: the offer mentioned Golden Taith, who was on Money's bench.

360
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Jermaine Gresham surprised at the tight end position, of course,

361
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin stepping up Brandon Marshall. I don't know why

362
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: he was yelling in the locker room. He got ten targets.

363
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna start with a guy there on top,

364
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: Roddy White. A lot of us had moved him to

365
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: the bench because he had not been performing very well.

366
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: What do we see out of him this week? Well,

367
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: you like seeing the ball go his direction. Now the

368
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: problem is, as long as Julio Jones is upright and

369
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: on the football field, Roddy White is going to be

370
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: the second option in that passing game. But you know

371
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be games like this for Matt Ryan's gonna

372
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: look in his direction where Jones just isn't either isn't

373
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: getting opened or they're just not connecting. So it's frustrating.

374
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: I know, trying to have Roddy White and trying to

375
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: plug him in every single week, but this is one

376
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: of those games that reminds you don't despair. He is

377
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: still a quality receiver and as long as he's getting

378
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,479
Speaker 1: the ball thrown his way, he's gonna make plays. Marcus,

379
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: you cannot spell frustrating without the a in Keenan Allen,

380
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: what's up with him. Wait, what frustrating? There's an and

381
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: finally performed this week. We've been waiting for this for

382
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: so long. And look, the numbers weren't great. He only

383
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: had fifty eight yards receiving, but cheap in mind the

384
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: previous two weeks he had fifty two total yards when

385
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: it came to receiving. So Keenan Allen did in the

386
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: football thrown his way, and it's just nice to see

387
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers at least looking in his direction. They're not

388
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: always high quality targets, but at this point, if you

389
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: spent the high draft pick on Keenan Allen's just happy

390
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: to see the football going in his direction. That's That's

391
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: what it's come down, and youre just happy. All right?

392
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: Here are the most backfield opportunities that you'd like to

393
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: go over in your breakdown column. And I've just been

394
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: passing out. Tom Petty also did a song called breakdown

395
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: apparently like dad, my dad just passed me that note. Okay,

396
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: dre Ellington was leading the way here with f rushing

397
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: into what do you mean by opportunities? What are we

398
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: doing well? Their opportunities? They are rushing at Sam's plus

399
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: pass targets. How many times a running back potentially sees

400
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: the football come his direction. Was it opportunity used by

401
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: the fetchhop boys? Now? Yes, now, all right, let's talk

402
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: about Dre Ellington, who's leading the way right there. Absolutely.

403
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Bruce arians has been telling us for a couple of

404
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: years now that he wants to have one single workhorse back,

405
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: and it looks like Andre Ellington is going to be

406
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: that guy. Now, hey, notes, Andre, look, I appreciate you

407
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: being unselfish and all, but don't take yourself out near

408
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the goal line next time. Man. But you love to

409
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: see the fact that he's getting the football so much,

410
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: whether it's carries, whether it's targets, whatever, he is going

411
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: to be a workhorse back and he deserves to be

412
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: in your line up. Every dude, he got your sixteen points,

413
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: Relax and they don't yell and yell at the guys

414
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: who are not getting it. I'm being greedy, joyke Bell

415
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: though getting us a lot of points. What do we

416
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: see out of him this week? Well, this week, I

417
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: have no idea what we're going to see out of him.

418
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully more because that Atlanta defense has been so sketchy

419
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: this year. But she just never really know Is it

420
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: going to be joyke Bell's week? Is it going to

421
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: be Reggie Bush's week? It's sort of like dealing with

422
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: Saints running backs in a lot of ways. I guess

423
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: it makes I guess it makes sense with Joe Lombardi

424
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: coming over from New Orleans to Detroit. Maybe there's some

425
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: of that going on. So this week it was a

426
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: good joyke Bell week. Next week, you never know what's

427
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Yeah, you look at the matchup against a Falkins,

428
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: as you said, it looks so tantalizing that you want

429
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: to go ahead and started. All right, Well, very good,

430
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: Thank you. We appreciate you breaking it down for us.

431
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: That was good stuff. Now coming right up right, we're

432
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: right around the halfway for it to the NFL season,

433
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: so we're unleashing our list of top trade targets. These

434
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: are the players you have to be dealing for right now,

435
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: and up next, we're digging through the waiver wire to

436
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: find you gold. See which players are guys say you

437
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: can pick up and play right now. This is NFL

438
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live. He's a tough, physical guys, right righte, good

439
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: guys for the players around you and back. He's got

440
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: to night, job up, Talk, touchdown and Dugger Adams. Welcome

441
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: back to NFL Fantasy Live. Matt money Smith here with

442
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: Adam Rank by co Fabi. I don't and case grant.

443
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday and we know what you want. So how

444
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: about some waiver targets fans get it started. A little

445
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: war evil action here. Let's do it with Trey Mason,

446
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: who has been phenomenal over the last couple of weeks

447
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: for both the Rams and fantasy owners. Scored his first

448
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: NFL touchdown this past week against a tough Seattle Seahawks defense.

449
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: This is a guy now who has clearly surpassed Zack Stacy,

450
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: who didn't have a touch last week. Money. Unbelievably, he

451
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: has been almost completely phased out of that offense. Mason

452
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: is available in over nine of NFL dot com leagues.

453
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: Pick him up. He's got flex starter value. If he

454
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: could ever learn how to run block, he could be

455
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: a three down back pass block. I believe if he's

456
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: running block and somebody else has taking his carries, he

457
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: never got me. Remember the days when Matt Oscotta was

458
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: our number one waiver wire target the changed rank. I

459
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: don't remember that because we said when everything started to

460
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: go down in Minnesota that Jerck McKinnon was gonna be

461
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: the long term play here. Eventually. It just took him

462
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of time to get acclimated to the offense.

463
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: And now we started to see is getting more opportunities

464
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: thirty eight touches as you see in the past two weeks,

465
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: and now he's got a great matchup this week against

466
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Cell you've been holding out hope looking for

467
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: a running back this season because a lot of us

468
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: have been in trouble because of injuries. Another Tom Foolery.

469
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: McKinnon is a guy to start this week. We're gonna

470
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: stick with the same game. Just go to the other

471
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: color uniform here, Marcus. Because you like Anthony Dixon, I do.

472
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: I like Anthony Dixon. Moore's a short term play. You

473
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: heard Rank talk about McKinnon being kind of a long

474
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: term look, and I think that's what's going to happen

475
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: eventually with Bryce Brown. But if you're looking for a

476
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: guy to plug in for one week, Anthony Dixon is

477
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: the guy who's on top of that depth chart there

478
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: with injuries to Fred Jackson and c. J. Spiller, and

479
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: you will probably see the bulk of the work, but

480
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: long term he's kind of a big plotting guy. He

481
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 1: doesn't have the shiftyness of Bryce Brown. But again, if

482
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: you're looking for somebody to plug in because of buys

483
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: or injuries, this is your guy for one week. One

484
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: of the great annoyances in my life is when analyst

485
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: colleague football player a movable chess piece, it's the queen.

486
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: The queen on the board is the one that goes

487
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: anywhere anytime. Denod Robinson is not a movable chess piece, right,

488
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: he's the queen. Yeah, you gotta get a mind of

489
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: your line up, you know. And the coach there, Gus Bradley,

490
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: is not really helping us out too much when talking

491
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: about who is going to be the starting running back,

492
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: where he's like, yeah, whatever, I guess it's gonna be

493
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Nard Robinson. But he looked fantastic against the Browns. He

494
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 1: looks great running into that number sixteen. I don't I

495
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: wasn't alive when Frank Gifford was running with number sixteen

496
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: for the New York Giants years ago. But the Nard

497
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: looks pretty good. And again, anytime you see a guy

498
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: run for one hundred yards, you gotta go out and

499
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: put an acclaim for him, because no doubt, especially since

500
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: they won their first game, a lot of it on

501
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: those legs and well and the legs of the legs

502
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: in both bascets of the game. Go ahead there, Pips.

503
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin is is somebody that you need to pick

504
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: up now. Once I heard about that Percy Harving trade

505
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: in New York, I tweeted out pick up Baldwin immediately.

506
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: He came in paid a media David in seven catches,

507
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty three yards and the touchdown over

508
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: eighteen fantasy points yet eleven targets, which is a career high,

509
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: and that is definitely the reason why I like Baldwin

510
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: moving forward. And boy he's got a great matchup coming

511
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: up against the Panthers. All of a sudden, he's on

512
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: the number two wide out radar. Not the first week

513
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: eight old Squeaky Wheel gets the grease after his postgame

514
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: comments from two weeks ago Odell Beckham spell it go

515
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: g e a u X Tigers. Marcus. Absolutely, I'm rolling

516
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: with the O d B. Yes, people on Twitter, it

517
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: is the O d B. This is a guy who

518
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: as soon as Victor Pruz went out. You knew his

519
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: role was going to increase. You see now why the

520
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: Giants loved him and they were so willing to be

521
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 1: patient and weighed on him through his injuries. He knows

522
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything. He's got fantastic speed, he

523
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: finds ways to get open, and he's got really good hands,

524
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: especially around the goal line. I still love how the

525
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: Giants are running this West Coast offense, even though it

526
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: didn't look particularly great against the Cowboys. I think O'Dell

527
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: Beckham is gonna see a lot more targets and he's

528
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna become a playmaker. He's a guy certainly is warranty

529
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: of a flex spot safe to say, you guys know

530
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: well enough by now that when I call a game,

531
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: I get excited about the players in the game fall

532
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: just you get a chance to see how often they're

533
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: put on the field, how often Aaron Rodgers is throwing

534
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: the ball. Even though they faced the Carolina Panther team

535
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: that was averaging allowing running backs an average of five

536
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry, Aaron Rodgers was still

537
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: out there slinging it around and all their eleven personnel groupings.

538
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams was out there and he got that touchdown,

539
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: and it seems to be a bigger and bigger part

540
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: of this offense as the season goes on their passing team.

541
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: As much as they wanna like the idea that Eddie

542
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: Lacy is going to help them in a four minute offense,

543
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is so depth a passing that football. That's

544
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: what they do. Here we go your top ten waiver

545
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: wire targets. You see the aforementioned just a moment ago.

546
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: Davante Adams there at number ten FABS and apparently you

547
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: agree with rank there. Take Jaral McKinnon if you have

548
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: the number one waiver wire claim in your league, no

549
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 1: question about it. And I was surprised that he's still

550
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: a free agent in so many leagues on NFL dot

551
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: Com talking about him for weeks and he plays the

552
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Buccaneers this week. What a great matchup. You don't think

553
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy is the long term answer in the Washington

554
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: all right? Any of those waiver targets can give your

555
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: team a boost. About the right fantasy trade can reshape

556
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: your entire season. See which players we say you need

557
00:25:52,720 --> 00:26:00,520

Speaker 1: still can, plus his Stacy Donnan st Louis, Will Percy

562
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: produce for the Jets, and we'll Jimmy Graham and Megatron

Speaker 1: here with the highlights from Monday night. While highlights for

574
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: one team there is Big Ben and Arian Foster, who

575
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: had himself quite the evening. Steelers get started there, They're

576
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: down thirteen three and of the sack, and how about

577
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 1: twenty four points in less than three minutes? First and

578
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: ten at the thirty five then Mark Tavis, not Mark

579
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: Tavis Brian for a thirty five yard Mark Tavis. You

580
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: know what I like here? I like this Mark Tavious Brian,

581
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: Thank you, John. It's Mark Tavis. Here we go. Fittsburgh

582
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: down thirteen ten and oh wait a minute, that's a

583
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: nice Mohammedan with this. How about Antonio who at four

584
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: points there for your fantasy Antonio Brown owner Steelers up?

585
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Now they would hold off a late Texans rallied game

586
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: victory twenty three. A lot of points to be had

587
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: on this Monday night are certainly fantasy fortunes shifted based

588
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: on Levian Bell, Antonio Brown, Arian Foster, and it's somebody

589
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: Dare Stark, Ryan Fitzpatrick for those boys rides for the

590
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: Amish Rifle. I actually had somebody tweet at me about

591
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock. Just had a gut, really needed eight points,

592
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: decided to drop their kicker and pick up Randy Bullock.

593
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: Brilliant this week. Absolutely all right, We've got seven weeks

594
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 1: in the books. Now it is time that there's players

595
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: you think fantasy owners should be targeting in trades. It

596
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: is trade time, So fabs get us started. Who are

597
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: you going after with a trade Colin Kaepernick right off

598
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: the bat. He's having his best fantasy season right now.

599
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: I know San Francisco has gotta buy this week, but

600
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: maybe that you to get him for a better deal.

601
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: He's actually been better on the road this year than

602
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: he's been at home. And I know he only scored

603
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: fourteen fantasy points last week, but a Carton Bolden dropped

604
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: the past you have been a touchdown. He had another

605
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: touchdown called back because of a penalty. I just like

606
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: Kaepernick this year. He's got more weapons than he's ever

607
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: had and money. He's running more often this season and

608
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: that's huge in fantasy football, and they're getting more and

609
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: more healthy. Remember this is one of the most injured

610
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: teams in all of football defensively, so he's not getting

611
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: as many opportunities as he could have moving forward. Marcus,

612
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: you like Justin for Set? I do like Justin wasn't

613
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: why not? We've had so many problems early in the

614
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: season trying to figure out what was going on in

615
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens backfield, but it looks like they have finally

616
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: settled on a guy, and it's Justin for Set. He

617
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: had twenty three carries in last week's stay in the

618
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: next closest with Bernard Pierce with eight. So it looks

619
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: like for said is going to be that guy going forward.

620
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: Give him in your line of trying to move him.

621
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: Maybe you can move a number two wide receiver, guy

622
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Hopkins or something like that. But this is

623
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: the guy who looks like he's going to be the

624
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: workforce for Baltimore going for And the key there too

625
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: is he was likely a waiver wire pickup, which means

626
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: whoever picked him up happened to have a bad week

627
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: there in Week one. They may or maybe already have

628
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: two running backs and they're using him as a flag.

629
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton bar you look right now. I think

630
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: everyone knows here that I'm struggling at the wide receiver

631
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: position with Calvin Johnson A J. Green being hurt. I'm

632
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: trying to target a guy who I believe is gonna

633
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: be a top five wide receiver. He's the most targeted

634
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver there for then that was Cults. You would

635
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: like to think it's Reggie Wayne, but no, it's t

636
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. And maybe you're not familiar with his name,

637
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: but try staying at one of his hotels. And I

638
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: can tell you right now you're going to feel comfortable

639
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: having him when you're off. You don't have to get

640
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: you don't get my jokes, and it's okay, and understand why.

641
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you one thing. He's going to improve

642
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: your roster. And you look at his matchup that he's

643
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: got going up. He's got the Jaguars, he's got the

644
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: Redskins coming up, so he's got some favorable matchups where

645
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: he's going to explode that I bar you only stay

646
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: at Ritz in four seasons, trying to slim it here

647
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: with the rest of us. All right, the story Shane

648
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: maren fabs. Now you know you're probably gonna have to

649
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: put forth some pretty good players to get Shane Marine.

650
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: But if you're in a PPR league, especially now is

651
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: the time to get him. Did you see you last week?

652
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: He saw most of the work for that Patriots backfield.

653
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: And again talk to the owner who has him and says,

654
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: you know what, you never know what's gonna happen in

655
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: Bill Billichick backfield. Don't you want that headache off your roster?

656
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: Smart about it, you know, trying to steal the guy.

657
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: But for reen, some doubts exactly. Verena is going to

658
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: see a lot of touches the rest of the season

659
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: with Stephen Ridley out for the year. Another running back,

660
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,239
Speaker 1: Marcus Lamar Miller. Since the intryder, No Sean Moreno has

661
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: proven he is an RB two at worst. Absolutely, this

662
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: is the guy we thought we were going to see

663
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: last year. Didn't happen last season for him. This her

664
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: it's working out. He is running harder, he's hitting the holes.

665
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: He looks a lot more effective. Admittedly, the trade price

666
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: probably went up when No. Sean Moreno went on injured

667
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: reserve because he has been so effective and he's going

668
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: to be the workforce there. But with what he's doing,

669
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: the way he's producing, it's worth trying to make a

670
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: deal because, as we've seen, that waiver wire for running

671
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,239
Speaker 1: backs is so thin right now. If you can get

672
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: a starting running back, you do it anyway. You can knockbar.

673
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of planting the seeds of doubt, you've got Ryan

674
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: Matthews about to come back from injury. You still want

675
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: to go out and get it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

676
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't want you to even finish your sentence. And

677
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: the reason why is because Brandon Oliver is legit. And yes,

678
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 1: you got a little spook because I yelled at do,

679
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: But I need to yell at you and all the

680
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: other fantasy owners who doubt that Brandon Oliver is not

681
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: going to be a part of the San Diego Chargers

682
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: game plan. Look. A couple of weeks ago, Kurt Lawner

683
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: sent me a trade offer. He was desperate for wide receiver.

684
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: Yes that's our very own Kurt Warner, future Hall of Famer,

685
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: and he sent me O'Dell excuse me, I sent him

686
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: O'Dell Beckham for Brandon Oliver. And I was like, come on,

687
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: are you serious? This is a no brainer. Of course

688
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: you you need a running back like his caliber. He's

689
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: so hard, I can tell you as a defensive linement.

690
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here behind the offensive linement and I shade, oh,

691
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: there he is. He's so small. Those guys are six

692
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: six that he's going up against, and he's just hiding

693
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: it into the pool. He just spurts out of Did

694
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: you see the way he ran away from d Milner,

695
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: a guy that's supposed to be four three four six.

696
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: Come on, I just think you wanted to verybody know

697
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: that Kurt Warner is in the league that you're in

698
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: and players, what are you talking about? What you're doing?

699
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: You're pointing out that the three of us are junk

700
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: a form. I'm in multiple league, I get trade off

701
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: I'm a guy and you get trade offers or somebody

702
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: named Kurt Warner. Fans, if you want a few more

710
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: But first, it's him to cut ties with Calvin Johnson

711
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: What and it's Jimmy Graham ever gonna bounce back? We

712

Speaker 1: answer these burning questions and more right after this did

713
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: that again. This week, the NFL hads back to London

714
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: for the second of three games in the International Series.

715
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: Week features the Lions taking on the Falcons at Wembley

716
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: Stadium for the Butchers. Sign the matchup, Let's throw it

717
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: to the Dog's bollocks. Steve Whish and Jordan Babineau in London.

718
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Matt, we're earlier today. Jordan and I

719
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: caught up with Calvin Johnson. He did make the trip

720
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: over here. He said he's doing more than running Babs.

721
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: If he plays Sunday. What kind of game could we

722
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: expect out if him coming back from that high ankle spring.

723
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: What The fact that the Lions won two games without

724
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 1: him is a good Without him is a good sign.

725
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: We start to talk about the Atlanta Falcons defense. They

726
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,479
Speaker 1: have some injury problems over there. Haven't been well defending

727
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: the past, haven't been well of stopping opponents much season.

728
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: But uh, with short cornerbacks, he's always presenting size of

729
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: miss matches. I'm sure Stafford would love to see him

730
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: suit up to Africa. Have time to throw. They're getting

731
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: no pressure on the quarterback. Speaking of quarterbacks, Matt Ryan

732
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: started this season the first two games like Gangbusters, really

733
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: tapered off the final four games, which been the big difference.

734
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Too much pressure. It's too much pressure on the quarterback.

735
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: They really haven't had a real presence in the running game.

736
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: And the fact that Harry Douglas has missed some time.

737
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: He's been a nice target for him for quite some time.

738
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: And upfront offensive line that you have four guys on

739
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: on the season ending injury list. Ye, Matt Ryan sacked

740
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: nine times the past two games and Harry Douglas out

741
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: the final four. All right, back to you, Matt, all right,

742
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: thank you, Steve Jordan with the full Monty the air.

743
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: As you heard from that report, Calvin Johnson did travel

744
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: with the team to London, so h chance he could

745
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: play versus the Falcons. Megatron has no doubt underperformed so

746
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 1: far this season, but is it time to trade for him?

747
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: Bar will start with you. You know absolutely I would

748
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: trade for Calvin Johnson. I happened to be in our

749
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: in our expert league. I have to be the owner

750
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: of Calvin Johnson, but if I weren't, I would trade from.

751
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity to take advantage for those

752
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: guys who are low and and and down on Calvin

753
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: JOHNSONID come on, don't act like you know, Act like

754
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 1: you know is a superior and is the superior wide

755
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: receiver in the National Football League. And nobody is better

756
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: than Calvin Johnson. He's just been hurt. That's a part

757
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: of the game. If he's got to sit on your bench,

758
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 1: he's that good where you just have to wait. But

759
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: if you want to get and if you want to

760
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: go out there and cop him, I'll go out there

761
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: a copper right now, all for a good time running back.

762
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: That's how I was gonna say, FABS, I mean, is

763
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: it Geoe Bernard? Can you fetch Calvin Johnson with a

764
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: top five running back? Like Geo? I'm always trying to

765
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: rob guys, you know that. So I don't know if

766
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna offer Bernard or right off the off the start,

767
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: but I could see a g Over maybella Shawn McCoy

768
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: for Calvin Johnson, something at that level. But you've got

769
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: you've got am if you have if you have Calvin Johnson,

770
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: maybe you you missed out on getting an elite, elite

771
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: running back, so like you took him fifth in and

772
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: I missed not on getting that elite running back. So

773
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: then if you offered me an elite running back and

774
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: Adams over here getting the idea offered me running back,

775
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: I need some production right now. I got Trey Mason

776
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: and Jack McKinnon. Which one do you want? Here we go.

777
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I wouldn't try to barter a deal right now,

778
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: but knowing what happened to us a couple of years ago,

779
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: I got justin for set five back right now, I'd

780
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: offer him to you for Calvin. Let me think about it,

781
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: all right. Just a reminder of the Lions and Falcons

782
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: game Sunday from London will have an extra early kickoff

783
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: am Eastern six thirty am Pacific, so be sure to

784
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: get your line up set Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

785
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: Next topic will keep it going with a few more

786
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: of what we like to call burning questions. Jimmy Graham

787
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: had zero receiving yards sounds like versus the Lions last Sunday.

788
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: Clearly he still hurts, So is now the time to

789
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: trade for him? How about it? Rank? Yeah, I would

790
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: take him. I would take a chance on Jimmy Graham.

791
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: I understand. If there's somebody out there who was able

792
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: to pick up another tight end and they're rather smitten

793
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,479
Speaker 1: with them, and they're gonna keep Jimmy Graham on the bench,

794
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: then yeah, go out and take a look. See if

795
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: somebody's a little bit frustrated ready to make a deal.

796
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: I really have a lot of high hopes for Jimmy

797
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: Graham and realize, you know what, even it's a limited player,

798
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: he can still be very effective. He went through this

799
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: last year still put up some pretty good stat lines,

800
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not ready to give up on him just yet.

801
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: About a FABS trading for Jimmy Graham, It's gonna cost

802
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy this a first round pick, but you have to

803
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: be clever and you have to discuss the trade with

804
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: the other owner and say, listen, I don't know what

805
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting. He was on the field last week. He

806
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: didn't see any receptions whatsoever. And it's a risk. So

807
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: all the risk is taken by me in this deal.

808
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna offer up an elite player off

809
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: the top him up with a mid tier tight end

810
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 1: like or something like that. So they fill that rock.

811
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: Maybe I say, I'm gonna give you a Ronnie Hillman

812
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: and Jeremy Macklin for example, something like that for Jimmy

813
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Graham and another player. All right, FABS, let's keep it going.

814
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: Here is it time to pick up Josh Gordon off Waivers.

815
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: It was time to pick him up seven weeks ago. Right,

816
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,240
Speaker 1: I have had Jimmy Graham on my roster every single

817
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry Josh Gordon every single week. I picked him

818
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: up once I heard that the suspension was gonna be decreased.

819
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: And the bottom line here is simple. Josh Gordon was

820
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver in fantasy football last season.

821
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: Who was thank you. I want to hear you hear it.

822
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: I heard that we didn't hear it. And put it

823
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: this way. If you pick up Gordon now, he's gonna

824
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: be back in what week twelve? Right, so you've got

825
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: at the wide receiver position, so you can maybe trade

826
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: another wide receiver, help yourself at another position, and suddenly

827
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: you're in good shape. Once week twelve comes along, and

828
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: if your team is doing well right now you've got

829
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: Josh God from the duration of the playoffs, you want

830
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: to jump in as soon as you can. I was

831
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: so mad when you did that because I went on

832
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: every single one of my leagues and try to find

833
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. Was only able to find him one league.

834
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 1: You'll give me Josh Gordon, I'll let's him to it.

835
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't work on the TV bar welch on every

836
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 1: one of those trades. Do you not see him drinking

837
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: the eggs bar. Everyone was surprised last week when Percy

838
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: Harvin got dealt to the Jets. I guess everyone except

839
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: the front office in Seattle that we're trying to deal

840
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: him apparently for a couple of weeks. What are your

841
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: expectations for him now in New York. Well, it's not

842
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 1: that he's going to jump off the board and all

843
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden be a wide receiver one or even

844
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: a wide receiver too. I think he's a situational flex player.

845
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: And the reason why there's the fire, that's the type

846
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: of fire he's probably gonna have to have with the

847
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Here's one thing I know about the Rhyins.

848
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: I know that the Ryans are innovative. They're gonna try

849
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: to find a way to get uh Percy Harvin involved

850
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: in some sort of way. You're gonna see him on

851
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 1: those reverses, You're gonna see him in the screen game.

852
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: And that really does help too, with the confidence of

853
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: Geno Smith, help him get in the ball moving, because really,

854
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: what are we talking about here in offense? Moving the

855
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: chains and Percy Harving can move the chains and with

856
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 1: those gadget types. One thing I would point out it's

857
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: just the financial commitment from the Jets on Percy Harvin.

858
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Seattle is responsible for signing bonus. The

859
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,919
Speaker 1: Jets are responsible for about six million dollars they share.

860
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: And then they have to decide whether or not they're

861
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna bring him back. So they're gonna use them. They

862
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: have to take innoventory on Percy Harvin. It's gonna cost

863
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: him six million bucks to get a look. See, so

864
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: you are going to see him, at the very least,

865
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: get touches be involved in this offense. If you can

866
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: pluck him from somebody's roster for as we're talking about,

867
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: trades guys for extremely cheap. This is the time to

868
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: do it because he is going to be part of

869
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: that Jets offense Financially. He has to because it's too

870
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: big of a number next year. Otherwise they're gonna have

871
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: to cut them. All right, let's let's move on, FABS.

872
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: Is it time to drop Zach Stacy? I think it is. Listen,

873
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: no touches last week. This is a guy who played

874
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 1: one snap. We drafted him to be our number two,

875
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: but things have changed. It looks like the Trey Mason

876
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: Show in St Louis with a little Benny Cunningham thrown

877
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: in there as well. And at this point, if you

878
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: need to pick up a hot free agent like a

879
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon, for example, or a Trey Mason, now is

880
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: the time to cut ties with Zach Stacy in redraft leagues.

881
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get real crazy here, Fabs. Alright, you're talking

882
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: Zach Stacy and clearly, look, he averaged less than four

883
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry. He's not a breakaway back. So I

884
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: understand why they're getting a look at Trey Mason now,

885
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 1: especially considering where they're at in their season. You saw

886
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: in the desperation and the way they played that game,

887
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: the fake punt deep in their own territory. But I'm

888
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: gonna go to monte Ball because Ronnie Hillman is effective

889
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, unlike a lot of other teams, they

890
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: don't care about an old economics term sunk costs and

891
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: the fact that they invest to the high draft pick

892
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: and monte Ball and they're paying him a little bit

893
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: of scratch. They don't care. They have to win the

894
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year, and Ronnie Hillman has looked considerably

895
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: more effective at the running back position than monte Ball.

896
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: And we know what Peyton Manning is all about, trusting

897
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: his receivers, his running backs, his pass protectors. And you

898
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: never got the sense that he trusted monte Ball. So

899
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 1: if you have that first round pick in your that

900
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: first pick in your waiver wire, I would look long

901
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 1: and hard and ask yourself if you really think monte

902
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: Ball is ever going to have an impact the rest

903
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: of the way this year. And and I can say

904
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: this too than you, and speaking with the Ronnie Hillman,

905
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: that you know that Peyton Manns and trusted a lot

906
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: of time and invested a lot of time getting him

907
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: bring because the knock on him before was his ability

908
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: to digest everything that was going on. So Peyton kind

909
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: of took him under his wing and kind of taught

910
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: him Alow. You know, if you're teaching somebody like that,

911
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to give him the opportunities to shine.

912
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: And that's why you're gonna see Ronnie Hillman in that

913
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: success light. So Monty Ball, it's I said, sun cost,

914
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: it's opportunity cost. If you got monte Ball sitting on

915
00:41:57,960 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: your bench and you know you can't start him because

916
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: Ronnie him was to number one what's the point. What

917
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: is the point of having to my way from losing

918
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: that job? Though, if monte Baul was better, if he

919
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: looked better with all the opportunities he was given, I'd

920
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: agree it. Look it's top decision, but something that you

921
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,880

934
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: I like this boat tie that looks fantastic. Gentleman. Another

935
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 1: handsome gentleman, Lewis Murphy for the Tap Bay Buccaneers. He

936
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 1: has averaged over ten fantasy points in his last three games.

937
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: They've got a good matchup this week against the Minnesota Vikings.

938
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 1: So if you're in a twelve team league, a four

939
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: teen team league or deeper, and you're looking for a

940
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver, well, Murphy has been pretty good. Later, all right,

941
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 1: Marcus with your bow tie? What do you like? I

942
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: do like Bryce Brown this week? I know I talked

943
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: about Anthony Dixon a little earlier in the show. I

944
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 1: think Dixon is the short term play. Brown is a

945
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: guy with a little bit more long range value, especially

946
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: now C. J. Spiller is on I are designated to

947
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: return Fred Jackson's out for a few weeks. This is

948
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: a guy you go get. He's a much better all

949
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 1: around running back, more shifty, has a lot more ability.

950
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: I like him a little bit more long term bills.

951
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: All right, how about it, Rank, I'm gonna go with

952
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: Gavin Escobar. He went to cal State Fullerton, went to

953
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: That's nice. Yeah, go ask why would I not mention

954
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: that bar Alright, I would pick him up. He was

955
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: and that helps No. One Player of the Week a

956
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, But now he's getting more involved

957
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: in the offense. If you're struggling for tight end. Why not?

958
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: That's my analysis. Why not? Why not? Akbar Jenny still

959
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: San San Diego State speaking of course, come on, I

960
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: know that. But look when you talk about Kenny Steals,

961
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: Keny Steals, he's gonna They're gonna be playing home. You know,

962
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, he plays well at home. I think he

963
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: could be have another big week like he did against

964
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: the each that, by the way, playing Green Bay. So

965
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 1: expect that shootout, scaring Rodgers shoot out this week in

966
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: the dumb all right, that is going to do it

967
