00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: energies are high. I mean this this season has been

25
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: crazy though for NFL CJ. Like it's it's been up

26
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: and down. Like I don't know how your fantasy teams

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: are doing, but I know mine right now. On the

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 2: back end, I don't know if I'm going to the playoffs.

29
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 5: Now we're gonna get.

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: You in, I guess so crazing after deadline ain't hit

31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: you yet?

32
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: Oh that deadline and then with six teams on buy

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 2: this week, like the way we warre popping this week.

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: But like I don't know who to drop because I

35
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: can't drop CJ Tillman. I can't drop from Will Ditsley,

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: Like I can't do that, Like, what's up with that?

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 3: Man? That's how you got to take that l babe.

38
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: Now we can't take no l CJ. We take lessons.

39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: We got to stack these wins, man. I still believe,

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I'm going.

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: You take L's to get the Elvis week for the

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: bigger w Later on in the season, Crystal wanted to

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: ask you because you have shared a backfield with Lindell

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: White and now you are sharing a podcast with him.

45
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: So what's it like being in the podcast world and

46
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: which one of those two is harder to share?

47
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: I feel like the asshaw being in the backfield together,

48
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: it's harder to share, you know. The podcast, bro, we

49
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: both found that same time. We get the talking go

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: back and forth. But you know, in the pike, I

51
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: mean in the NFL, on the team and you just

52
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: never know how in this snap it's just going to

53
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: be how many different playmxs you have on offense that

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: you got to get the ball too. So anyway it is.

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 4: We made it work though with the smash and daddys though,

56
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 4: So we made it work.

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got to be some type of competition going

58
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: on there on the pod. I mean, I'm pretty sure

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: it was on the field as well, sharing the backfield

60
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: with him, Like are y'all trying to like one up

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 2: each other on the pod? Like y'all trying to say, yo,

62
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: my take is far.

63
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: You know, we do the betting guys and all the

64
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: other different the prop best and stuff like that. So

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: at the end of the season, it's either on the

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: trophy or Rascling Championship. Dealt or something like that. So

67
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: right now, yeah, right now, currently he's fifty six thirty

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 4: three and one. Wow. Yeah, and I'm fifty four thirty

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: one fifty point thirty one.

70
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: So you're right there with it. You're right there with it.

71
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: Yes, so he got more wins, but he got more losses.

72
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: I got.

73
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: You gotta make sure that's correct.

74
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: Who that's lost? Now.

75
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: Look, it's like, I know you're jumping into fantasy, right,

76
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: I mean, has it become your passion?

77
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Now?

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: Does it keep you tapped into the game that's going

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: on today?

80
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 4: Hey, it definitely do. I've been doing it, like since

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 4: I retired in eighteen. I think I started like really

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: getting a fantasy probably like in twenty twenty or whatever

83
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: like that. So like I've been tapped into it and then, yeah,

84
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: it just helped you stay with the game. It helped

85
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 4: you like really find out players who like that's not

86
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 4: nationally known that everybody is talking about it, Like, dang,

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: who is the blow that just went for twenty Fantasy parts?

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: I Mean I never heard of him before, and that

89
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: makes you look him up and like, oh man, like

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: I got it. I definitely got to pay attention to

91
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: him like that.

92
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he really like that.

93
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: And look, us in this fantasy space, A lot of

94
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: the time we come at things from like a statistical standpoint.

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 5: We're looking at.

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Numbers, or we're watching the games and being like, oh,

97
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 1: that's something I noticed or whatever. But you have such

98
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: a unique perspective as someone who has played this game

99
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: and knows like how the mind of a player works.

100
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: So is there any way that you think that that

101
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: gives you a leg up in fantasy and that you

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: like kind of view things differently than people like us

103
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: who have never been on an NFL field.

104
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: I think it does into certain aspects, right, because you know,

105
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 4: when you play a fantasy it's our different type of

106
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: apps are Google that you can look up their projection

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: and seeing what they're supposed to do, and they're playing

108
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 4: against this team that's ranked this and ration or this

109
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 4: against the past and things like that. I think where

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: it helps me out of a lot is me just

111
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: knowing the different scenarios and high certain teams are going

112
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 4: to try to attack certain teams going into it with

113
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: the game fan and.

114
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 3: Things like that.

115
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: So it kind of helped me who to play each

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 4: weekend things like that.

117
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: Ord Now I want to ask you about this Titans

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: backfield today, like you and Lindell were one of the

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: best duos when it comes to Titan's history. So I'm

120
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: wondering what your thoughts on this duo with Tony Pollard

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 2: and Kaj Spears, what they got going on in that backfield.

122
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 4: You know, I like, I like those two guys they

123
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: have back there, But I don't feel like it's crazy

124
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: as you said that, because me and them guys just

125
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 4: had this conversation on our podcast two weeks ago, and

126
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: basically I just don't feel like they are using those

127
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: guys how are me? And then there was behind the

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 4: year when we was really like smashing dash. We're coming

129
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 4: out of the game like I might have twenty carriers,

130
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: he might have fifteen carriers. Yeah, And when you look

131
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: at the today's game and how it is, you not

132
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: even if it's a runner back that just got the

133
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: job by itself, they're not averaging twenty five thirty carries

134
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 4: like you. You having the main guy getting anywhere from

135
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: anywhere in between ten and fifteen carrier these days like yeah,

136
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: and then had again receptions out of the backfield and

137
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: things like that, but they're trying to throw it all

138
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 4: over the field and put up points and stuff these days.

139
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: So but those guys, I like both of those guys.

140
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: I like their game and I think they can be

141
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 4: real good for us. But I can't really compare them

142
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: to us because they're not using them the same way

143
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: that they use us.

144
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 3: Like it was crazy, Like, man, man, you can have

145
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 3: me and the they.

146
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: Are on the same fantasy team, yeah, because I get them,

147
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 4: but spears and in a ton of product, you can't

148
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: have both of them because it's only one guy going

149
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 4: to get give matority of the touches and things like that.

150
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: I wonder did you draft either one of them this season?

151
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: On one of my leads, I got the one. I

152
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 4: say that it wasn't in Yeah.

153
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh man, you're down bad right now.

154
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: On that roster.

155
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: You talked though about how back in the day you

156
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: could start both you and Linda White on the same

157
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: fantasy team. I would say that right now, there's one

158
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: backfield like that, and it is the Detroit Lions.

159
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

160
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: When you watch that backfields, like, what are your thoughts?

161
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 5: Because they do.

162
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Remind me a lot of smash and dash and that,

163
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: Like we've seen other backfields like that as well. But

164
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: they to me are the cream of the crop right

165
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: now and just one of the best duos. I would

166
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: say that I've seen.

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: Where do they fall for you?

168
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: Oh man, the Dead duo is a real nice dueo.

169
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: I like both those games. I love Jamer Gibbs game.

170
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: But same thing, like I was saying with us back

171
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: in the days, you look up and you see their

172
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: offense and Gibs after Saint Kiers and the Government Athlete.

173
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, both of them are getting the value of

174
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: touches and they actually.

175
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: Doing their thing with it.

176
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 4: Like yeah, I love what they got going on over that,

177
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: and they definitely are in the smashing their start I think.

178
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: In Detroit.

179
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

180
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: Now, I wanted to ask you, what is the advantages

181
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: as a running back playing with a mobile quarterback like

182
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray or Anthony Richardson, Like, what are the advantages there?

183
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: This on thedvanaer really because a lot of the teams

184
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 4: are playing, they're running and spread, and you're starting to

185
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: see more NFL teams going to the quarterback in the

186
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 4: shot then ye right back and there, so you're not

187
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: getting a lot of the traditional iron formation quarterback under

188
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 4: center and things like that. So when you go to

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 4: the the run game within the shot gun, that backside

190
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: d n gotta stay home, right, he gotta, you know,

191
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: he gotta keep iron a quarterback. So when you run

192
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 4: an inside zone from the shotgun, quarterback to hand it

193
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: off or he could run it. So that means that

194
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 4: that backside the end can't crash down as hard as

195
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: he usually do.

196
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: So if he can't.

197
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: Crash down like that, then nine times out of ten,

198
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: it's going to be an open name for the runner back.

199
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: So it's just like an extra guy, like a quarterback

200
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: is like an extra block, an extra blocker without really

201
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: has to block anybody, because if he prays down and

202
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: come to get knee, then that leads the quarterback.

203
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: Going around the edge with nobody out there to make

204
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: a sac of runner.

205
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: And quarterbacks are more and more athletic now, it feels

206
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: like than ever before. Do you ever think, like, imagine

207
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: what I would have done with a Kyler Murray or

208
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson or Jalen Hurt someone like that.

209
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 4: Now I don't have to I had this young there

210
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: you go, there go without y'all. A lot of these

211
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 4: guys probably wouldn't even may be doing it, But I

212
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 4: did that way Vince Young and I went for two

213
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 4: thousand yards.

214
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 3: You know, me and Vince, So they tell the story

215
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 3: right there.

216
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: All right, So everything cannot be perfect in a fantasy season.

217
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: So I want you to talk about because I know

218
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: you in six leagues. You said, like there has to

219
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: be some headaches across all the board, Like, what is

220
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 2: some of the biggest headaches you have to deal with?

221
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,439
Speaker 3: Bro?

222
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 4: My biggest headache was so I picked So okay, So

223
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 4: this year I did a different strategy. Like I used

224
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: to go tight end heavy because you get your points

225
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 4: from the catches and a lot of teams out, and

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 4: I started trying to go through receive it.

227
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: So I know the.

228
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: Last two years I was able to get uh, well

229
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 4: you got from Killer. I was able to get Killer

230
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: and Travis Kelsey. I was those two guys. So you know,

231
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 4: getting those two guys, they was averting six or seven

232
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 4: catches a game and.

233
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: You know, testdowns in the yards.

234
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: So but this year I went back to the traditional

235
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 4: I went running back head.

236
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: Running back hero of course, come on, c J.

237
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: Let me whire. The first half of the season. Christ

238
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: and McCaffrey is hurt for like eight weeks and then

239
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 4: like the first two weeks, the checko bowing.

240
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: Our Yeah you was hurting bad in the first half

241
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: of the season, and so like, we.

242
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: What you're doing.

243
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: So McCaffrey finally came and then you know he got

244
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: to get rid jested by for check or still al out.

245
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: So that was my biggest na this year.

246
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm right with you.

247
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: I had so much to checko on all of my

248
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: teams this year, and one game in and it was

249
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: all over. But one thing that I think it's overlooked

250
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: when we're especially from a fantasy standpoint, is offensive line.

251
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: People just take them for granted. I feel like, and

252
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: this guy's a Rams fan, so from first hand experience,

253
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: he could be like Kian Williams has had eleven different

254
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: offensive linemen this year.

255
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 2: How much does that affect.

256
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: The offense and specifically the run game of teams going

257
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: into those games?

258
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: I thank a whole lot because when you are a

259
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: running back, you want to be on the same page

260
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 4: and have that chemistry with their offensive line, just as

261
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: well as our quarterbacks want then be on the same

262
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: page with the receivers. It's the same way with the

263
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 4: offensive line the runno back, we're married, We're together. We

264
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 4: want to be on the same page a lot of times.

265
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 4: When you have your offensive line, they understand the type

266
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 4: of running back you are, the type of things that

267
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 4: you like to do, the type of cuts you like

268
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 4: to make, and you understand running back how they like

269
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: to block certain things, how they like to do a

270
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 4: lot of things. When it comes to the Black scheme,

271
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: it's kind of like I said, some marriages.

272
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: Chemistry and that helps. That helps you be better as

273
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: running back can help them.

274
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 4: So when you got eleven guys, eleven different guys, and

275
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: you can never get that chemistry, you can never get

276
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: on the same page because once you get the roller

277
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 4: and this guy, this guy, you bring this different guy in.

278
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 4: So it just makes everybody job that much difficult.

279
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I mean it's true. I mean, as a

280
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: RAMS fan, like I know what's going on. But in

281
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: the fantasy streets, they sitting there kicking kyro w Ins

282
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: backen like as his fault. Like he's still going out

283
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 2: there putting up points, like he just scoring like eight

284
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: games in a row. But look, that's just event right now.

285
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: But listen, is there any players in fantasy from a

286
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: fantasy standpoint that caught your eye this season? Like an

287
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: under a radar guy, like a like a Jordan Mason

288
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: is somebody you know from San Francisco that I was

289
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: on heavy all summer because like, the dude has the talent,

290
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: he's explosive. Like, was there any young running back this

291
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: season that caught your eye?

292
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

293
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason was one of those guys. How did you

294
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: know by him? Though? Because let's get so crazy.

295
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 6: When when when CMC got hurt right after that game

296
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 6: or whatever he didn't play or whatever like that, I

297
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: automatically went to look for the back the back of

298
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 6: running out and I didn't know the name or anything

299
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 6: his name and I went to look for him and

300
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 6: things like that people then already drafted on.

301
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna say I set the tone, but hey,

00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: so we see why he would see your eye and look,

318
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: we know you guys are uber competitive even when you

319
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: hang it up.

320
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: So I'm just wondering.

321
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: We saw Xavier where they go out and run a

322
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: four two one forty this year and it's someone who

323
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: had the record for years. When you saw that, like,

324
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: what do you feel? Do you start stretching and be

325
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: like I want to go again or.

326
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: To the y'all pups respect? And I seen him like

327
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: when I seen him run that where I'm like, he

328
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 4: is moving, yeah, and then like that made me go

329
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: look at something in his highlights and I'm like, yeah,

330
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: he really moving for real.

331
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 3: For real like that.

332
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 2: You couldn't even see his feet when he was running,

333
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: like it was like the role runner, Like he really

334
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: liked that. But listen, you got twin boys that's playing

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: ball right now, dB and a wide receiver I believe,

336
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: so you're seeing their development, Like do you see your

337
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: speed in them?

338
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 3: My speed? Yeah? They got some speed.

339
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: They got some wheels.

340
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, they probably actually faster than how They probably faster

341
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: than Lee when they on this point, And that's probably

342
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 4: just because.

343
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: You know, I'm doing the right things with.

344
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: Them, having them running tracks, starting earlier training on this stuff.

381
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 7: him to hang around. All right, guys, time to do

382
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 7: our calls for Week twelve is always. Let's start as

383
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 7: we normally do with.

384
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: Club dub.

385
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 5: That I'll choked up.

386
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 7: We think it will be the top scorers non Quarterback

387
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 7: division for the week. And wait, I'm looking at this

388
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 7: now and Kawan, this is this is top score This

389
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 7: isn't sleeper. This isn't surprise of the week. Please, I'm

390
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 7: not even that. I'm just curious.

391
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 5: Explain yourself here.

392
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: Surprise surprise, it's Bucky Irvin to be at the top

393
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: among the elite running backs this week. Man only because

394
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: for not only, but multiple reasons why Mike Evans might

395
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: be back in the fold to give some more functionality

396
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: of that offense. But also this Giants defense, they give

397
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: up a ton of explosive plays at the highest rate

398
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: in the league. And I know everybody's going to point

399
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 2: to Rashad White being that he's out snapping him, but

400
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: that's just because he's on the field with pass blocking,

401
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: running routes. But when it comes to actually touching the ball,

402
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 2: being efficient and making plays, it's Bucky Irvin's backfield. And

403
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 2: I think this is a game where he can get loose,

404
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 2: bus off a couple of runs, get involved in the

405
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: passing game as well, and put up some big points

406
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: this week with a beautiful matchup.

407
00:20:59,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: Wow.

408
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I appreciate the logic that all right, it's sixteens,

409
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 7: gona buy.

410
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I really I'm trying.

411
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 7: To do some gymnastics here, Like I do think Bucky.

412
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 7: Every can have a good game, but man, I appreciate

413
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 7: you being all in on that.

414
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 5: I'm all I see.

415
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 7: I mean, while Florio your name is one that I

416
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 7: think is one, it's probably on a lot more people's

417
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 7: minds for this week.

418
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been the rules a little bit and I

419
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: realized I picked a quarterback after the fact. But what

420
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? So I'm gonna stick with him here.

421
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: It's justin Herbert, who partly because of the matchup. Look,

422
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: everyone knows by now that the Ravens secondary is one

423
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: that you can pick on. They've allowed a whole bunch

424
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: of yards. It's arguably, I would say, the best matchup

425
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: for a quarterback. Third most fantasy points, most yards, second,

426
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: most touchdowns allowed. But Herbert has been playing a lot

427
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: better himself as well, averaging twenty two fantasy points per

428
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: game in his last month, two hundred and seventy five

429
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: yards per game in that span, getting more passing touchdowns,

430
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: and running a whole lot more as well, which is

431
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: huge for his fantasy value. But if you want a

432
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: non quarterback pick as well, like start all your Chargers

433
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: pass catchers this week, I think Lad McCaughey is a

434
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: great start. Quentin Johnston is someone that I'm streaming in

435
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: a number of leagues, and so is Will Disley's, so like,

436
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: it's not just a Herbert thing.

437
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 3: It is.

438
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: All of the Chargers pass catchers are in play in

439
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: this fantastic matchup.

440
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, so you broke the rules. I also broke

441
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 7: the rules a little bit cla because it's funny because like,

442
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 7: I'm the one who sets this up and literally was

443
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 7: just about thinking, I just threw this name in the

444
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 7: show sheet without even paying attention to it. It's Jaden Daniels.

445
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 7: Because he's been in a little bit of a mini

446
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 7: slump lately. I think this is a week for him

447
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 7: to break out of it against the Dallas Cowboys. I

448
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 7: think if you want to go with a non quarterback,

449
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 7: I would pivot to Brian Robinson in the backfield, mostly

450
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 7: for the same reason because the Cowboys defense, especially against

451
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 7: the run, has been.

452
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 5: Awful all year long.

453
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 7: We saw Joe Mixon go off last week on Monday

454
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 7: Night Football.

455
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: I think b rob can do that.

456
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 7: I think Jayden Daniels can do But because you know,

457
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 7: the passing wise has not been great for Daniels the

458
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 7: last few weeks, but I do think we see him

459
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 7: run a little bit more. I think we see him

460
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 7: be very efficient and effective, and then I think in

461
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 7: turn starts to open some things up in the passing game,

462
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 7: so Terry McLaurin can get some Maybe Zach Ertz has

463
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 7: some deep sleeper vibes. I know folks like Noah Brown

464
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 7: as a sleeper this week as well. So yeah, so

465
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 7: my I guess my real answer is Brian Robinson, but

466
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 7: my fake breaking the rules answer is Jade and Daniels.

467
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: I mean, see, I should have picked a quarterback like

468
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 2: you should have literally broke the rules, the rules.

469
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 7: You could have just gone and picked I don't know,

470
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 7: I just picked Baker Mayfield or something.

471
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: I was just about to say, I'm picking bakery man.

472
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, cool, all right, So none of us,

473
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 7: none of us agreed to the rules at this point.

474
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: So there we go.

475
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 5: We have three quarterbacks in our non quarterback segment whatever.

476
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 7: Week twelve red flag the player to beware of this week.

477
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 2: And uh, LaQuan, you were just full of surprises today, sir. Yeah. Man,

478
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 2: I surprised myself with this one. And I was looking

479
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 2: at this schedule, the matchup man, and I'm like ah Man,

480
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest with myself. Kyra Williams is a

481
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: red flag this week for me, and it's a lot

482
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 2: of multiple reasons why. I mean, this Eagles defense is scary,

483
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: but it's more specifically on Zach Bond, this linebacker that

484
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 2: they got man out of nowhere making a huge impact

485
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 2: in the run game. The dude's actually tied first in

486
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: stops ask for PFF and top ten for tackles for loss.

487
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: So this is definitely going to be a struggle, a

488
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 2: challenge for Kyrion Williams, who in the last two games

489
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 2: has averaged nine Fantasy points per game. So it's more

490
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: so getting our expectations in order because also noting that

491
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: Kyrion Williams is already dealing with trying to find the

492
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 2: rhythm within this old line Rob Hamenstein trending towards back

493
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: to being playing, but it's more so of like they

494
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 2: still don't have that chemistry on that front. So it's

495
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: going to be a very difficult match for Kian Williams

496
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: to try to get the run game going this week.

497
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been a little bit of a slump for him,

498
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 7: three straight games without a touchdown.

499
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 5: The yardage numbers have been down across the board.

500
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 3: I really nasty work.

501
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 7: He was so great earlier in the season, and it

502
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 7: just seems like maybe regression coming for him at the

503
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 7: midpoint of the year. For sure, Florida, who is your

504
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 7: guy that you are concerned about? J?

505
00:24:59,600 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 5: Stroud?

506
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: And this is something I said earlier this year with

507
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, like we have reached a point where CJ.

508
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: Stroud is purely a name. Like if you're considering playing him,

509
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: it's because you remember what he did last year and

510
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: what you paid for him in the draft and stuff

511
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: like that. But on the year, Kirk Cousins Aaron Rodgers

512
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: both have more Fantasy points than him, and in the

513
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: last month he is averaging less Fantasy points per game

514
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: than Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, Gino Smith, Derek Carr.

515
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: He's pretty much giving you.

516
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: What Caleb Williams has been giving you. And you wouldn't

517
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,679
Speaker 1: play Caleb against the Titans, so why would you? Like

518
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: I understand he at some point could break out. He

519
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: is Nico Collins back. He had that long Neco touchdown

520
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: called back last week, but in his last five games

521
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: he has two passing touchdowns. He is one game with

522
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,959
Speaker 1: over two hundred and sixty yards in that span and

523
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: none with thirteen fantasy points.

524
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I'm hopeful.

525
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: That eventually he's gonna break out of this and everything,

526
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 1: but until we see it happen, I don't see how

527
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: you can trust CJ.

528
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 3: Stroud in fantasy right now.

529
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's just it's been a disappointment.

530
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: You know.

531
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 7: Some of it obviously, the offensive line has had struggles,

532
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 7: They've had wide receivers missing. Some of it is just that,

533
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 7: you know, the play calling just has not been the same.

534
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 7: You know, Bobby Slowick maybe not hitting all the right

535
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 7: buttons the way he did last year, but whatever it is,

536
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 7: it just it just has not worked out for me.

537
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 7: It's it's DeAndre Swift as a player just to beware of,

538
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 7: partially because he is dealing with a nagging groin injury.

539
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 7: All those signs point to him being good enough to

540
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 7: play this week. The other part of it is just

541
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 7: the Minnesota Vikings have been really hard on running backs

542
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 7: this year. Some of it I think is because, at

543
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 7: least numbers wise, because teams are throwing the ball fairly

544
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 7: effectively against them. They have faced the fewest rush attempts

545
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 7: of any team in the league. But then again, they're

546
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 7: also just not giving up a whole lot of yards

547
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 7: per carry as well the vikings across the board, whether

548
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 7: it's through the air or on the ground, not giving

549
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 7: up touchdowns. This feels like a game where maybe they

550
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 7: lean on Caleb a little bit more. If there is

551
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 7: an out for DeAndre Swift, it's to get some targets,

552
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 7: just to get him out in space and see what

553
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 7: he can do right there. But if he just want

554
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 7: to use him as a straight running back, I wonder

555
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 7: if the volume is going to be enough and whether

556
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 7: or not he's going to find enough running room to

557
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 7: be productive. We keep coming back to this, right it's

558
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 7: six teams on a by. It's hard to find other

559
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 7: options this week. So I understand if you've got to

560
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 7: have Swift in the lineup as a flex, as an

561
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 7: RB two whatever. I just don't love the matchup. I

562
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 7: don't love what potentially the production can be for DeAndre

563
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 7: Swift this week. So it's time to drive your line.

564
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 7: I'm presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry. Got

565
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 7: our snore Lax, the guys that we think can survive

566
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 7: and maybe produce in potentially bad Or Nestling great circumstances.

567
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 7: So while I don't love DeAndre Swift Lakwan, you do

568
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 7: love one of his teammates.

569
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like Cole Kamet and actually Roshan Johnson might

570
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: be available in the wire man because he could have

571
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: some standalone value this week as well. With Thomas Brown,

572
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: you know, calling the shots. But Cole Kmett is my

573
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: sleeper this week. With three of his last four times

574
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: he's faced off against the Vikings, He's put up double

575
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: digit fantasy points with the ceiling being fifteen fantasy points

576
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: in two big tight end one games on the rise

577
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: of Kayla Williams in that four game span. Now that

578
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 2: Shane Wolgron's out of the way last week, who saw

579
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: Caleb play his best game numbers wise, production wise, and

580
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 2: Cole Comet in terms of overall production. So I think

581
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: this is going to be back on the rise where

582
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: Cole comment can sneak in put up some big fantasy

583
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 2: points because I know a lot of people got him

584
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: on the bench, but I am feeling like this is

585
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: a week where Thomas Brown, who comes from that Sean

586
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: McVay tree knows how to utilize his running backs and

587
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: his tight ends, and this could be a big game

588
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: for Cole Comett and Kyler Williams.

589
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 7: I mean that was my hope last week with Thomas

590
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 7: Brown taking over, that we'd see some short throws to

591
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 7: DeAndre Swift to Cole Comet, because that's what they did

592
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 7: a lot of last year in Carolina. Didn't really happen

593
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 7: against the Patriots or against the Packers. I should say,

594
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 7: maybe it happens this week against the Minnesota Vikings Florida.

595
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 5: Who's your sleeper for the week.

596
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna go with Will Disley, who I do like,

597
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: but I already kind of said that when I was

598
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 1: talking up Justin Herbert. But if you have Will Disley,

599
00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: I think he's a good sleeper and you could start

600
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: him this week. I'll pay it to Hunter Henry here though,

601
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: who I think is Drake Mayne's favorite target. Since Drake

602
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: may took over as the QB one there, he is

603
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: a twenty six percent first read share that is the

604
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: sixth best amongst tight ends. He's averaged over eleven Fantasy

605
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: points per game in that span, and Miami since Week

606
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: seven have allowed the fourth most yards to tight end,

607
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: So bayrel matchup could be chasing points. I really like

608
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: his quarterback on the way he's been playing lately, and

609
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: those two clearly have chemistry. So I think he's even

610
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: maybe elevated a little bit. He shouldn't be viewed as

611
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: a sleeper, but he still is. He's available in a

612
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: lot of leagues. But I think he's played well enough

613
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: where you could just pick him up and.

614
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 5: Start him right now. There you go.

615
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: So there you go.

616
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 7: You get some options there for you. My sleeper for

617
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 7: the week, the Commander's DST. Look, at this point, we're

618
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: just finding who's playing the Cowboys on a weekly basis,

619
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 7: and we are starting that defense against them. I mean,

620
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 7: that seems to be kind of the best way to

621
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 7: go it has been. If you are a Cowboys fan,

622
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,719
Speaker 7: you're probably ready to just kind of wash your hands

623
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 7: of the season, even though you still have what like

624
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 7: seven games left through whatever it is I'm sitting here

625
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 7: going through. I mean, this week it's going to be

626
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 7: the Commanders. Next week we'll be talking about the Giants,

627
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 7: and it's the Bengals. I mean, we're just going to

628
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: go on and on down the list of teams to

629
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: play against the Cowboys.

630
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: Cooba rush was.

631
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 7: Better in week eleven than he was in Week ten.

632
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 7: Still wasn't great. They threw the ball fifty five times.

633
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 7: Adam Rank on Fantasy Live basically said, the Cowboys are

634
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 7: an arena football team. We're not trying to run the ball.

635
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 7: We're going to stand back here and throw it all day,

636
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 7: which would be great if they had somebody beyond just

637
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 7: ceed Lamb to throw the football too. So I think

638
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 7: the Commanders, who've been a lot better over the last

639
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 7: month than they were at the start of the season, they.

640
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: Should be pretty available.

641
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 7: I think across waiver wires, go out, get them, plug

642
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 7: them in your lineup, start them against the Cowboys and

643
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 7: prosper That is what I'm looking at for a sleeper.

644
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 7: That was Drive your Lineup, presented by the all new

645

647
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,520

648
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,440
