It is a big time Monday. 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.319 As Week eight of the NFL season comes to a close, 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.480 we gotta kick off in about an hour and a 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.000 half down there in Arrowhead as the Kansas City Chiefs 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.560 and the Denver Broncos get it going in an a 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:21.480 f C West matchup. That is a rivalry that will 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.320 really go a long way to determine who the true 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:28.280 contenders are out west. Here's what we're gonna get going today. Okay, 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:30.959 First of all, we're gonna give you my takeaways, my 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.959 trends from week eight. We're gonna talk about the biggest 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.080 things that I saw yesterday in the National Football League. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.480 We'll tell you the stuff that I got right. And 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.320 there are a couple of things in week eight that 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:43.959 you really needed to listen to, your boy the spitting 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.319 statistician on because I hooked you up. There are also 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.960 some things that I gotta admit I got it wrong. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:54.480 Some people put it straight in my eye, like Deshaun Watson, 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.560 for example. We're gonna talk about him. Boy, are we 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.640 gonna talk about him? Because listen, this guy may in 0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.120 fact be one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.720 before you know it. Okay, it's very surprising to hear 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.400 what Richard Sherman had to say after that matchup in 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.400 the Pacific Northwest. As you know, Richard Sherman is not 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:19.240 quick to praise others. Uh, stay tuned to hear what 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.920 he had to say about Deshaun Watson. Also, did you 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:26.960 guys see World Series Game five last night? This series 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.120 has been absolutely epic. I talked about it as the 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.119 three true outcomes. The other thing is has the pendulum 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.160 swung a little too far on going to the bullpen 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.760 and looking at the analytics. Let me tell you something. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:41.359 You had Clayton Kershaw on the mound with a big 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.320 time lead, Why go to your bullpen? You had in 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.320 game too, Rich Hill going four innings and throwing the 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.000 ball real well, why go to the bullpen? Kenley Jansen 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.240 has been giving it up for the Dodgers, and these 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:57.480 astros in their number one offense and baseball continue to 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.000 impress as young kids Sports illustrated and your boys speeds. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:05.200 The spitting Statistician had these astros in the World Series 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.280 in two thousand seventeen, and boy are they delivering. Also, 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.360 you're gonna get my preview for Monday Night Football. Remember 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.959 there's a little trick that I always like to tell 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.720 you about going into Monday Night Football. I'm gonna tell 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.560 you who to use it on in tonight's game. And 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.040 as always, we've got a pole question up. We got 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.160 two on Monday's Who was your diamond in the rough 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.760 four week eight? Who was the person that was owned 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.480 in less than fifty percent of leagues that helped you 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:34.839 get a win, and if we do diamonds in the rough, 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.839 you know we got the Fantasy fool days. He's as well, 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.400 who do you need to forget about? After we ate, 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.080 I'll let you know with hashtag dropping SATs over beats. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.040 It's a Fantasy freestyle with your boy to spitting statistician 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.160 right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy Sports 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.280 Radio Network.

I know some of you guys may and 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.719 and gals. I know some of you guys and gals 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.640 may still have your matchup up for debate. Remember, starting tomorrow, 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:01.840 we're gonna do that hashtag Game of Inches. I got 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.360 hit up on Twitter with a couple of early nominees. 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.799 We'll talk about that a little bit later on the show. 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:08.520 Let me give you some news and notes from around 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.120 the NFL. Zeke Elliott case is supposed to go down 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.159 today finally being heard by Judge Catherine Falia. This is 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.240 in the Southern District of New York. Just so that 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.680 it just so that you guys understand a little bit 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.640 of the legal EA's right, he's got a six game 0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:26.400 suspension on on the table right. What he is filing 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:31.080 for here is and a temporary injunction on that six 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.400 game suspension, And if he gets the injunction, then he 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.480 can play, you know, until that case is finally hurt. 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.320 I believe that's what's gonna happen. I believe the ultimate 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:44.479 decision will happen in the off season, and Ezekiel Elliott 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.240 will infect miss games, but it will be at the 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.400 start of next season. So when you guys are asking me, listen, 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:55.039 Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris, you know Rod Smith, even um, 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.960 I think Zeke is gonna play, And boy did he 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.520 looked like a bell cow and a workhorse yesterday in 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.159 our nation's capital in the rain, a hundred fifty yards 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.560 career high in attempts, and he got into the end 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.520 zone as well, really helping people win that cash. Also 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.320 in that same game, Jordan Reed continues to be made 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.560 of glass. I call him like the comic book guy, 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.200 Mr Glass right, because you can't trust him. He tweeked 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.599 the hammy early in that game, and he already thinking 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.240 that they do not expect him to play in Week 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.800 nine for the Washington football team. But that was not 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.160 the biggest injury to a tight end. Yesterday, Chicago Bears 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.920 tight end Zach Miller dislocated his knee, but he did 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.440 other damage in there. They're talking about our artery damage. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:43.560 They are having surgery. He had surgery overnight. They say 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:47.560 to quote unquote save his leg. His leg was in 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.360 danger because of the severity of that injury. They're trying 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.840 to save his leg literally with this vascular surgery. They're 0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:57.159 saying that, you know, the surgery has happened and that 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.000 it went well, but he's not out of the woods. Left. 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.200 We're not talking about the man's career, We're talking about 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.479 the man's way of life. Okay, football continues to be 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.440 a very dangerous games. So we're all out there thinking 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.000 about Zach Miller. The crazy part is it happened on 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.160 a play that was ruled a touchdown and then after 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.560 instant replay was taken away from him. Doesn't look like 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.640 he's gonna be playing for the Bears anytime soon. Davonte 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.120 Freeman also left that game against the Jets with us 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.280 what they're calling a stinger in his shoulder. They're saying 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.160 he's gonna be limited this week in practice. Remember practice 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.080 reports will come out on Wednesday. Expect DeVante Freeman to 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.800 be limited or not practicing this week, but they think 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:37.920 he'll be good to go for next Sunday. We also 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.880 remember the trading deadline is tomorrow. I told you guys 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.920 about this. There are now reports out there that the 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:48.120 Colts would move t Why Hilton. That could be a 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.960 prize for some team that is a contender that needs 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.160 a little bit of help at the wide receiver position. 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.560 As it is looking more and more like Andrew Luck 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.720 will not play at all this season. They've already ruled 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.040 out Andrew Luck for Week nine. But your boy speeds. 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:05.440 The spitting statistician told you this at the beginning of 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.600 the season. I don't think he was going to play 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.920 all season long. Um. Also in the same vein with 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.520 the trading deadline happening in Pittsburgh, you guys know about this. 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:17.760 His head coach Mike Tomlin has said he is on 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:22.400 shore of Martavis Bryant's role moving forward. Are they gonna 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.560 trash him? I mean, are they gonna trade him? I 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.520 don't think so. Are they gonna stash him deep, deep, 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.280 deep on their bench? That's what I think is going 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:35.160 to happen, And especially after Juju Smith Shoes popped off 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.360 with the good Juju for the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.079 hundred ninety three yards and a touchdown in Sunday Night Football. Okay, Also, 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.720 you got some teams, remember six teams are coming off 0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.000 a bye last week, right, so you've got some other 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.560 guys that are now rejoining practice after the bye. Leonard 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:54.120 four Nette is back practicing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.160 should be back after there by Sterling Shepherd and his 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:01.120 ankle injury. He should be back practicing practicing today. For 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.920 the New York Football Giants, Davante Parker, he should be back. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.720 Remember the Dolphins got a goose seig. They were blunt 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.760 guts trash on Thursday Night Football. They're saying he should 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:13.720 be be back for Week nine. Same with their quarterback 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.520 Jay Cutler. Also interesting to note d D. Westbrook, wide 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.240 receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is eligible to return 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.240 from the populist and it looks like he will come back. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.079 Here's the only thing, though, what is he going to 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:29.360 be the second, the third wide receiver on Jacksonville. You 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.920 know this team is looking to win games by Runnard 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.320 Lennon Fournette and utilizing that defense. So I don't really 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.880 think there's a home on your starting roster, at least 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.800 for a guy like de Dy Westbrook. And then over 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.600 in Tennessee, Delaney Walker didn't practice, but Demarcoma Murray did 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:48.600 practice on a limited basis and Corey Davis practice on 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.440 a limited basis, So those guys, Corey Davis especially might 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.880 be back for the Titans. He hasn't played since I 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.640 believe week two. All right, let me talk about week 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.000 eight and the trends and the big takeaways that I have. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.840 First things first, Deshaun Watson. This kid is legit. This 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.880 kid is real. He was a little bit of a 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.640 fool gazzy for me going into week eight, but he 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.120 put it right in my eye. Okay. I thought on 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:18.160 the road in Seattle against that defense, I thought it 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.120 was gonna be a problem for Deshaun Watson. It certainly 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.600 was not. Okay, they put up thirty eight points, albeit 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.480 in a loss. I will tell you this. He did 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.760 throw three interceptions, including one pick six at least right, 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.720 but he looked good. He to be honest, he looked 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.839 like Russell Wilson, the quarterback on the other side. This 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.000 is a guy he remained calm the whole time running 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:45.360 but only when he has to, not really taking hits. 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:49.760 I'm talking about Listen nineteen for thirty four hundred and 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.760 two yards passing four touchdowns. He also got sixties seven 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.440 yards in the run game. I thought his wide receivers 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.280 were gonna get shut down. I thought will Fuller wouldn't 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.079 be able to be a boom or bus kind of 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.719 guy that you put in your lineups. Five catches a 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.360 hundred twenty five yards, not one, but two touchdowns. DeAndre 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:11.160 Hopkins the d Hop after the d Hoppopotamus after not 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:16.440 practicing on Friday. Eight catches two hundred and twenty four 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.240 yards and a touchdown in PPR scoring put up thirty 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:24.080 nine points, I believe, the highest point total of anybody 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:26.880 so far in Week eight. Although we do have a 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.480 game left to go with guys that can pop off 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.200 like Damarius Thomas or maybe Kareem Hunt, we shall see. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.920 But d hop the highest scoring player against the Legion 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.959 of Boom in yesterday's action. So yeah, let me tell 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:42.520 you something. DeShawn Watson. True, stud don't listen to me. 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:47.280 Listen to Richard Sherman. Richard Sherman says that Deshaun Watson 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:50.160 is going to be a top five quarterback in the 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.800 league by next year. And he said, yeah, that includes 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.080 guys like Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Check this out. Deshaun 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:03.120 Watson now sixty two of completion percentag DeShawn Watson nineteen touchdowns. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:07.439 Deshaun Watson leads the NFL in q BR This from 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.280 a rookie you did not start in Week one. You 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.600 gotta like that. Here's what I would do. Let me 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.160 tell you something, because I went ahead and I looked 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:18.720 at the schedule for Deshaun Watson. Here are their next 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:24.480 couple of games. Next week, they have the Indianapolis Colts 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:29.080 at home, fire up DeShawn Watson against that blunt, guts, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:32.360 trash past defense. And the following week at the Los 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.640 Angeles Rams. They don't scare me. Then the following week 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:39.800 the Arizona Cardinals at home. I know there's Patrick Peterson, right, 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:42.520 but he's gonna be on one. Maybe he pops off 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.760 against DeAndre Hopkins, but you still got Will Fuller and 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.000 you still got the rushing potential. Then here's where I 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:53.160 think it gets different. At Baltimore on Monday Night football 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.840 in week twelve when you're vying for the fantasy playoffs. 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:02.600 But then if you make the fantasy playoffs, he's good 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.520 for you. Week fourteen because they got the San Francisco 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.560 forty niners. I really like that. But then fifteen and 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:14.239 sixteen at Jacksonville, I don't know about that, and Pittsburgh 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.280 I don't know about that. So yes, I love Deshaun Watson. Yes, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.320 he put it in my eye in week eight. But 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:28.679 the Fantasy semifinals and championship at Jacksonville and Pittsburgh that 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.880 still causes me some pause. I'm not saying you flip 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:35.080 DeShawn Watson or anything like that, but just keep an 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:36.600 eye out on that. Here are some things that I 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.280 got right for you, guys. I told you, guys, don't 0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:43.040 ride out Stefon Diggs. I told you with Ken can 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.080 you digs it? I told you I was a little 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.600 concerned with him coming back from that groin. In the 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:50.600 first game back against the Cleveland Browns, he only had 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.400 four catches for only twenty seven yards. I also got 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.720 this Minnesota Vikings team right. I told you they were 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.160 gonna win going away, that I was okay with the 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.400 big point spread. But I also told you I did 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.160 not believe in Latavius Murray. I told you he had 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.040 that big game in week uh seven, but not to 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.920 buy him. He had nineteen carries for thirty nine yards, 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.240 only two yards per carry, did not get into the 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.000 end zone. Hopefully you listen to me there. I also 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.600 got it right about the Chicago and the New Orleans 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:18.840 game in terms of that running back room. I told 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.000 you in Chicago, Jordan Howard was the workhorse. He's still 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.000 got twenty six touches, tarikoh, and the shine is off 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.720 the rows. Okay, only five touches in that game. And 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.080 I told you that my guys so fresh and so clean, 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.640 mark Ingram and Alvin Simon and Theodore Kamara were both viable. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:37.640 They both got into the end zone. I told you 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.640 about the Philadelphia Eagles that they were gonna get past 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.440 the trap game of the San Francisco forty Niners. They go, 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.400 they win, to go to seven and one. But I 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.920 told you this was the week to hop off of 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.120 Nelson Agilore. I hopefully you did. He only had three 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.040 catches for twenty six yards. And I also told you 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.640 about Joe mix On mix Off, that this could be 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.560 the week for Joe. And against the Indianapolis Colts, he 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.320 had ninety one yards in the passing game, so that worked. Also, 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.320 I'm gonna tell you about a couple of things that 0:15:08.440 --> 0:15:11.760 didn't go my way in week nine. And then, as always, 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.480 we're gonna open up the phone lines at eight four 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.080 four eight four three six eight seven nine. Holl at 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.000 your boy. We'll try to help you out get a win. 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.360 In Week A from Monday night football, and we'll look 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.400 ahead to who you need for next week.

It's the 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.280 Fantasy Frere style. We're back right here on the Fantasy 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.680 Sports Radio Network. Day Martinez. You know me, a speed 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.760 spitting statistician, holding you down, getting you ready to look 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.200 back at week eight and get ready for Monday Night 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:27.080 football Chiefs and Broncos. And also look ahead a little 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.760 bit early to week nine of the NFL and the 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.560 fantasy football season. I told you about I'm a finally 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.080 a believer of Deshaun Watson. I think it's sustainable. I 0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.440 mean like, if you had to have a harder matchup 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.120 in all of the NFL, wouldn't you say at Seattle 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:42.920 against the Legion of Boom is one of the toughest, 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.560 and this guy did work over four hundred yards four touchdown, 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.360 sixty seven yards on the ground as well, putting up 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.120 thirty eight points in Seattle. That was very impressive to me. 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.080 I told you about Stefon Diggs as well. Listen, if 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.600 you were by the way, if you were watching on 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.720 Sunday morning Wheels line Up, Block Live, it's me, Maria Marino, 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:07.399 It's Corey Parson, and it's Emery Hunt. Corey Parson convinced 0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.320 me that I should, in fact insert Stefon Diggs. All 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:14.680 week I was telling people that if you can be conservative, 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:16.480 go ahead and go someone else, but if you needed 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.639 the home run play, that you should go with Diggs. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.520 I could have been conservative. I had the Baltimore defense 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.000 score like thirty five thirty six some odd points for 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:28.840 me on Thursday. He convinced me to take out Mohammed Sanu, 0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:32.439 it's a new day and insert Stefon Diggs and my 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.479 PPR setting. Stefon Diggs got me like six points. Mohamed 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.880 Sanu got me like nineteen. That's why you gotta go 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.960 with your gut. I know the unicorns out there agree. 0:17:41.080 --> 0:17:43.120 You gotta go with your gut. Man, you gotta really 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.359 always lessen You feel free to hit me up on 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.080 Twitter at spitting speeds, holler at me at eight four 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.640 four eight four three six eight seven nine. But if 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:52.800 you feel something deep in the pit of your soul, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:55.800 go with it. You're gonna kick yourself and the other 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.240 you know the next day, good lucky enough. I had 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.200 the Baltimore defen end. I had DeAndre Hopkins, so I 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:06.240 was okay. I told you that, I uh, I thought 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.320 Kamara and Ingram were both viable. They both get in 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:11.760 the end zone. I told you that the Tarry Cohne 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.960 time is over. He only got five touches. I told 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.080 you it was the time to start to fade Nelson 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.440 aghilor that the touchdown streak would not continue. He only 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.200 got you three catches for twenty six yards. I told 0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.480 you that it was the week that mix on, mix 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.680 off finally does it. He at ninety one yards in 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.359 the passing game. I also, however, told you that the 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.000 Cincinnati Bengals shouldn't be ten point favorites against anybody, and 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:39.200 they sneaked out a one point win against the Indianapolis Colts. Now, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.520 besides the Shawn Watson, there are some places where I 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.760 got it wrong, and I got to admit it before 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.520 I opened up the phone lines at eight four four 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:47.560 eight four three six seven nine, because I don't want 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.000 people telling me about it. Oh trust me, I know. 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:52.840 And the first place was in Oakland or in Buffalo 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:55.159 where the Oakland Raiders played. I told you that I 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.680 thought Jalen Rochard was going to be a viable guy 0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:01.439 in place of Marshawn this week, and in fact they 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.280 went to DeAndre Washington instead. Washington with eight eight scrimmage 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:08.720 yards or yards from scrimmage, eight catches and a touchdown 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:11.280 that was better than the five for fifty six that 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:14.440 Jalen Richard put up. I must admit it. Amari Cooper, 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:16.960 who as we know, put up forty four points against 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:20.520 uh my better judgment a couple of weeks ago. You 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.080 know he didn't have another dumpster fire game. I thought 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.320 he was gonna fully regress. Five catches for forty eight 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:29.120 yards and PPR that's okay, and standard not so much. 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:31.680 I got a guy over if Studio fifty four taking 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.040 pictures of us. What's going on out there? I get 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:36.000 a little nervous when people are taking pictures of me. 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.199 You know, all right, but fair enough. I also I 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.240 got it wrong when it comes to Hunter Henry. I 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.360 thought Hunter Henry was gonna eat across the middle of 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.040 that New England Patriots defense without Dante high Tower. He 0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.560 only had two catches for eleven yards. I had him 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.199 in my DFS lineup that didn't go as well. I 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.720 also told you guys that I wasn't a buyer just 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.080 yet on Juju Smith Schuster, and boy did he have 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.040 the Juju working last night. If you were watching the 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.320 World Series instead of that Sunday night football game, Juju 0:20:05.400 --> 0:20:08.840 Smith Schuster seven catches, a hundred ninety three yards and 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.800 a touchdown. He is now what they hoped Martevis Bryant 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.120 would be. He is a legitimate number two wide out 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.560 on the opposite side of Antonio Brown or in the slot. 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.320 His ten targets were tied with a b Levian Bell 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:26.880 only had three targets last night. Juju had ten. Ben 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:30.200 Roethlisberger is clearly more and more comfortable with the Juju, 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.639 and it looks like Martevis Bryant is going to be 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.640 sitting for a while. Also, remember I've been talking about 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:40.320 bad offensive lying play ever since Week one. Ever since 0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:43.160 the preseason, to be quite honest, and it's like um, 0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.360 especially at left tackle. It is the walking wounded. The 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:50.000 Eagles are now without Jason Peters. Watched that. I think 0:20:50.119 --> 0:20:52.000 they are in the running. They might be trying to 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:57.600 trade for someone before tomorrow's deadline. The Lions without Taylor 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:00.760 Decker as their tackle. They were okay, but you saw 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:03.000 they couldn't punch it in in the goal line a 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.480 couple of times against the Steelers last night. Think about it, 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.359 They're missing a couple of offensive lineman. Check for that 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.919 as time goes along. The San Francisco forty Niners are 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.040 absolute trash. Okay, c J. Beat Hard has not been 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:19.320 doing it. But I think, listen, part of this is 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:22.280 because they don't have Joe Staley at left tackle. People 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:24.560 were thinking that day they might have traded Joe Staley, 0:21:24.600 --> 0:21:27.280 but he's banged up alright, So I think this forty 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.800 Niners offense is now a problem. Carlos Hide wasn't really 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.040 doing it. They went over to Matt Brita in the 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:36.360 passing game, in the quick passing game. Forty Niners are 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:39.080 not going to win many games this year. The Browns 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:42.159 without Joe Thomas there's still a dumpster fire. They were 0:21:42.160 --> 0:21:45.280 a dumpster fire beforehand, they're a dumpster fire now. And 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.120 also check this out. The Washington football team has injuries 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:52.520 to pretty much everyone on their offensive line. I think 0:21:52.560 --> 0:21:55.639 this bears watching and something that came to play in 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:59.960 the Washington game yesterday. I don't care who this extras 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.320
