1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, it's a Thursday, October twelfth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG,

3
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Marcus Grand along with Michael f.

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: Florio.

5
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 1: We are previewing the late Sunday games plus the Monday

6
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: night game as well, and giving you our Week six

7
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: fantasy heroes.

8
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: Let's play a game, shall we?

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 1: We call it Start, bench or Cut. The rules are simple.

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: I give you three players. You decide which one you

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: would start, which one you would bench, and which one

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: you would cut. So I have three trios. That's nine names, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: nine names. We're gonna go through and decide what we're

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: gonna do with some of these guys. So let's go

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: with some running backs who have been sort of underperforming

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: this year. One we talked about earlier, Dereck Henry, Ramandre Stevenson,

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders. Start bench or cut?

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: Can I cut two of them?

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: Cut off three? If you want?

20
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: I guess I would start Derrick Henry, bench Romandre Stevenson,

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 3: and sit Miles Sanders. It's been brutal for Stevenson and

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: Miles Sanders. I've already been benching Sanders in the leagues

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: where I have him, Hope keeps giving me chances that

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: I don't know why. But for Romandre, I keep being like,

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: maybe when they're down, they'll start throwing him the ball.

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Nope.

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: Zeke had more targets than him last week. But Sanders, man,

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: it is looking rough there. Chuba Hubbard's eating into his workload.

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: The efficiency has gone away, and the Panthers have just

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 3: really really struggled to score any points move the ball

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: outside of like fourth quarter catchup mode games.

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: See, here's the thing about the Panthers offense. It's bad.

33
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,279
Speaker 1: And for that reason, yeah, I'm I'm doing the exact

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: same thing you are. Derick Henry is a start from

35
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: Andre Stevenson is a bench. Miles Sanders is a cut

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: You know. Look, Sanders, we were had we had questions

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: about him. I think coming into the season. I don't

38
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: think we thought it was going to be this bad.

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: But it's been really bad for him so far this year.

40
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: And I'm with you, Remidre Stevens, and I keep looking

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: at him and I'm like, Something's going to happen, right,

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Like it can't continue to be this awful, Like where's

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: the explosion? Where are the targets Like, something's got to

44
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: change in New England. Whether it's just a change in

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: philosophy and change a quarterback, I don't know, but there's

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: reason to believe he's going to turn some things around.

47
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: As for Derrick Henry, it's not what we wanted it

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: to be, but it's not as bad as these other two.

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: So he's the easy start in that situation.

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: Another group of running backs, these ones not quite as

51
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: confounding as the first group, But the start Bencher cut

52
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, Brian Robinson, Damian Pierce.

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: To me, the easiest one is the start Kenneth Walker.

54
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: Call here, and I will say I was wrong about

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker coming into the season. I thought Zach Charbonnay

56
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: would eat into the workload and that just has not

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 3: been the case. Kenneth Walker remains in RB one for fantasy.

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: The other two are outside of the touchdown score. Their

59
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: stats are almost the pointing spider Man Gift and Brian

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 3: Robinson has been better. But I'm gonna cut Brian Robinson

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: and bench Damian Pierce. My thinking is, when you look

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: at Brian Robinson's game log outside of the game against

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: the Denver Broncos. He's been good for anywhere between eight

64
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: to thirteen fantasy points, which is about what Damian Pierce

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: has been giving you over the course of the last

66
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: few weeks. I just think is that Texas O line

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: gets healthier and healthier, and then c J. Stroud continues

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: to play like he is there eventually will be running

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: lanes for Damian.

70
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: Pierce, I hope.

71
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: So I'm with you though on starting Kenneth Walker, and

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: I will also agree that it wasn't so much that

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: I was down on Kenneth Walker himself. I just thought

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: Zach Charbonay was gonna be more of a threat than

75
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: he has been so far this season. I'm going back

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: and forth on what to do with you.

77
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: I was as well.

78
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm going back and forth, and part of me says

79
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: to bench Brian Robinson and cut Damian Pierce. But I

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna flip it. I think I'm gonna go

81
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: where you did because I think part of it is

82
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: me sort of trying to validate my own process because

83
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: I really was big on Damian Pierce.

84
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: I drafted a lot of them.

85
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: I was really high on Damian Pierce, and I'm not

86
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: willing to give up on that dream yet, because I

87
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: don't think it's dead.

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: Getting their two tackles.

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Back last week, getting tight As Howard and Larry Mee

90
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Tunzel goes a long way. They did lose some guys

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: on the interior offensive line. I would like for Damian

92
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Pierce to get a few more targets, although I don't

93
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: know that that really is going to be in the

94
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: offing when you've got guys like Tank Bell and Nico

95
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: Collins doing what they're doing. But I do think they'll

96
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: get better at running the football. So as hard a

97
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: decision as it is, because Brian Robinson is playing well,

98
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: don't get twisted. He's the guy that that I think

99
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: I have to cut there some wide receivers here, start

100
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: bench or cut all three start with ce Cookie. Cookie

101
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,799
Speaker 1: Cookie starts with ce Ce D Lamb, Calvin Ridley, Chris Godwin.

102
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: It is closer than I really thought it would be there.

103
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm going to still start Ceede Lamb, but it has

104
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: been a disappointing start of the year for CD Lamb.

105
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: He's the wide receiver sixteen right now in overall fantasy points,

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: the yardage that he has just one touchdown. I believe

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: right now It's been a little bit up and down

108
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 3: for CD Lamb. Calvin Ridley showed sight of signs of

109
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: life last week. He's at least seven targets in all

110
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: but one game this year, is averaging around fourteen Fantasy

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: points per game, and I think we're gonna get more

112
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: consistent play. Let's remember he was coming back off of

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: a year and a half long layover. Chris Godwin has

114
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: been disappointing in my opinion. Outside of the one game

115
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 3: where Mike Evans left early and he had a pretty

116
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: big game, he had been good for fewer than eleven

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 3: Fantasy points in the first three games, and with Mike

118
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: Evans potentially returning this week, I think he's going to

119
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: continue to be the target vacuum in this offense. Chris

120
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: Godwin actually seems to be the easy cut here for me.

121
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: The other two were the harder one. Those were the

122
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: harder ones.

123
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I think I'm gonna start Ceedee Lamb and

124
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna so we're we're in agreement on all of these.

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start Cede Lamb. I'm gonna bitch Calvin Ridley.

126
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut Chris Godwin because I just don't know

127
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield can support multiple wide receivers. You know,

128
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: right now, he's very much in yolo mode to Mike

129
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Evans and Kate atten. Kate Autten isn't really a great

130
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: fantasy option. He's a good fantasy option for a tight end.

131
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: I think that's sort of how that works right there. So,

132
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: but Calvin Ridley is He's going to have better games.

133
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: He played really well last week against the Bills, especially

134
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: in the second half of that game. He will have

135
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: some good games I think along the way, but I

136
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: don't think the week to week consistency is going to

137
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: be there the way we want. And I just got

138
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: to believe that the Cowboys are going to make a

139
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: concerted effort to get the ball to Ceedee Lamb because

140
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: their offense has been underwhelming and if they're going to

141
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: get better, Ceedee Lamb has to be a big part

142
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: of it.

143
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: So I think they're gonna start force feeding him very soon.

144
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: Whereas the Jaguars don't have to force feed Calvin Ridley

145
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: because they have other guys who can make plays for

146
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: them in the offense.

147
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 2: So there it is start, bench or cut.

148
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a break, We're going to come

149
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: back and finish up our Week six game previews and

150
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: give you our fantasy Heroes of the week.

151
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

152
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: Getting into the late slate of games for Week six,

153
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: Patriots at the Raiders.

154
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: Once upon a time, this was.

155
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: An AFC championship game, Now not even close. We talked

156
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: about Remindre Stevenson and how frustrating he has been. Is

157
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: this a get right game or is this a getaway game.

158
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: I'm really struggling with that because I want to believe

159
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: it is a get right spot. The Raiders defense is

160
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: not one that we need to be fearful of, especially

161
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: when it comes to stopping the run. But Ramandre Stevenson

162
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 3: has yet to run for sixty yards in a game

163
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 3: this season. He is He did not have a single

164
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 3: catch last week and has not had more than ten

165
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: receiving yards since Week one. But it depends on your option.

166
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: Like I have him in two leagues, and in one

167
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: it's a deeper league. My backup option is Zeke Elliott.

168
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm gonna start Stevenson over Zeke, and then I have

169
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: another league where I have to decide between him and

170
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin, and as of now, I think I'm leaning

171
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 3: towards Terry, but I'm probably gonna go back and forth

172
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: on that all week. But the answer is I'd probably

173
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: try to get away from Stevenson, but I understand that

174
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: in many cases you might not have an option.

175
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm hoping this is more of a get right game.

176
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: And when I say get right, like, I don't expect

177
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: him to go out and drop, you know, twenty points

178
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: for you, but just to get some rushing opportunities. Hopefully

179
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: it's a game where the game script's not an issue.

180
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: Last two weeks, Mac Jones keeps getting pulled in the

181
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: fourth quarter.

182
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: I hope.

183
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: I don't believe that's going to be the case this week.

184
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: It's the third quarter, Like that'd be awful. So, you know,

185
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm hoping it's a get right game for him. I

186
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: totally get if you're gonna get away from Hermandre Stevenson

187
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: because it has been terrible. Give him some targets, man,

188
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: throw the ball to him. That's gonna help a ton.

189
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: Lions and Buccaneers. There are two teams in the NFL

190
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: that are both top six in offense and defense. They

191
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: are the forty nine ers and they're the Detroit Lions.

192
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: The Lions are even better than we think they are.

193
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: Do you start any of your Bucks? And what is

194
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: a pretty tough matchup.

195
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to sit Baker Mayfield unless you're in a

196
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: two quarterback league where I have one. I have Rashad

197
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 3: White as they sit this week. He has struggled in

198
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: non Bears matchups this year, and the Lions are insanely

199
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: tough against the run the wide receivers. To me, it

200
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 3: all depends on if Mike Evans plays or not, because

201
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: if Mike Evans plays, he is a must star wide receiver,

202
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 3: and then I think you can get away from Chris Godwin.

203
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 3: But if Mike Evans sits, then I think Chris Godwin

204
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: gets elevated into someone that you need to get into

205
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: your starting lineup. Kate Auton, I think is a sleeper here.

206
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: The Lions have struggled to contain tight ends this year

207
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: and and leads to Bucks and every receiving their tight

208
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 3: ends at least and every receiving routes targets all of that.

209
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: So those are the Bucks that I would feel okay

210
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: playing against.

211
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: Mike Evans.

212
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: I start Godwin starts if there is no Evans, I

213
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: do like spoiler alert, I have Kate Aughten and the

214
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: sleeper's column this week because the Lions have given up

215
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the most receiving yards to the tight end position. Uh

216
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: and they didn't even face Travis Kelsey when they played

217
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in Week one. So Oughten does have some

218
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: deep sleeper vibes too, But that's pretty much it. Or

219
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: any don't start Rashod White. The Lions run defense is

220
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: actually good. Do not start Rashot White if you have

221
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: any options there. Cardinals and the Rams. We talked a

222
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: little bit about the Cardinals running back situation. If you

223
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: have Kanta Ingram or Imari de Mercado, it's one thing

224
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: to have them, it's another thing to start them.

225
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: Would you start them against?

226
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 3: La De Mercado is the one that I would play.

227
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: But it's not like I'm like if I got him

228
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: off the waiver wire, I'm not like really trying to

229
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: force him into my line. I mean, I'll admit I

230
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 3: didn't get him on a lot of waivers because I

231
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 3: was just bidding a lot less than he went for.

232
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: Like I was putting like five six dollars bids in

233
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: on him and he was going for over twenty in

234
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: some of my leagues, but I'm not scared of the

235
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: Rams matchup, even though the Rams have been pretty stingy

236
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: two running backs this year.

237
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: It's just more of the unknown.

238
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: Like he got the work last week, but that was

239
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 3: because James Connor got hurt, Kiante Ingram was inactive. I

240
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: kind of want I think it's one of those situations, Marcus,

241
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: where I want him on my roster, but preferably want

242
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: to take away and see approach.

243
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I think the best description I've heard is is did

244
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: the de Marca will get all that work last week

245
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: because they really like him in the wake of James

246
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: Connor's injury? Or is it because he was the only

247
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: guy there. Yeah, And so we're gonna find out a

248
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: lot this week if Ingram's able to go about you

249
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: know how much they really like him, how much they

250
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: want to give him some opportunity. If he's getting the

251
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: passing down work and the two minute work, because that's

252
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: a way to get some cheap targets, right, you're just

253
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: trying to check the ball down, you try to move

254
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: it quickly. You can get a lot of targets on

255
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: a lot of points that way. If it turns out

256
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: that that's what de Marcado is, then he becomes the

257
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: guy that you want to start. So I would try

258
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: to get away from them if I could this week,

259
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: but hold on to him and see how things go

260
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: against the Rams coming up, Eagles and Jets, Breese Hall

261
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: all systems go big week. Last week he looked good.

262
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: Do you start him? And can you maybe possibly start

263
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson against the secondary that hasn't been great this year?

264
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

265
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: The numbers would tell you to get away from Brice

266
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 3: Hall and to start Garrett Wilson because the Eagles are

267
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: up there with them. They've allowed a bunch of production

268
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: through the air to wide receivers, but they are one

269
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: of the stingiest ground defenses against the run. The issue is,

270
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: I'm very afraid that Jalen Carter and that d Lion

271
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 3: is just gonna get to Zach Wilson repeatedly, and he's

272
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 3: not going to be able to get the ball to

273
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson. With Brece Hall, I think the upside is

274
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: probably high enough where you can start him, But I

275
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: do not feel great about either of these two Jets

276
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: this week.

277
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: I would start I mean, I start Brece Hall based

278
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: on volume. Look, I have a league where I have

279
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 1: both Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson's actually the Fantasy Live league.

280
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: Things aren't going well. I just want to hope that

281
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: this is a week that things get a little bit

282
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: better for Garrett Wilson. I've sort of just, you know,

283
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: accepted the fact that it's not going to be what

284
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was when I drafted him. But because

285
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: the secondary in Philadelphia hasn't really been great, if you

286
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: can get Zach Wilson getting the ball out on time,

287
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: in rhythm, then maybe there's some hope for Garrett Wilson.

288
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: But I understand at this point he's at best a

289
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver two for a lot of fantasy teams.

290
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football Giants at the Bills.

291
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: They've announced it's a color rush game, so you know

292
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: it has that going for it. I don't think this

293
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: is going to be competitive. I don't think anyone in

294
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: America thinks this is going to be competitive. Is this

295
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: going to be frustrating for fantasy because it ends up

296
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe not being competitive.

297
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: NBC clearly thought it was going to be competitive.

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: I think that this is a game where your expectation

299
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: should be tampered a little bit with your bills. I

300
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: think James Cook is a must start because if they

301
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: have a lead, he'll probably get a lot of carries

302
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: and get a lot of opportunities to have a big

303
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: play and score a touchdown. Josh Allen, you're obviously still starting.

304
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs, You're obviously still starting. I have Gabe Davis

305
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 3: as a start this week. He's been playing really good.

306
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 3: The Giants secondary does not scare me at all, but

307
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: you need to hope then in the first half that

308
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: those guys are getting the job done, because if those

309
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: touchdowns early on go to like the run game or

310
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: something like, that second half.

311
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 2: Is probably gonna be a lot of grinding out the clock.

312
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: I think that's what it's going to be a I

313
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: want to still start James Cook in this one too,

314
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: even though the usage has been sort of all over

315
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: the place lately. The production hasn't been really great. I

316
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: have a feeling that there will be a couple of

317
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns scored. My fear is that neither one of

318
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: them will be by James Cook. That it could be

319
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: like a Damian Harris, a Latavious Murray. Something like that

320
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: is going to happen, and that's going to be really,

321
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: really frustrating. But yeah, I think you're starting your Bills Stars.

322
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Darren Waller did not practice on Wednesday. He says he's

323
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: gonna be okay and that he'll be able to practice

324
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: on Thursday. So that's something to keep an eye on

325
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: as we get closer to Sunday night and then Monday

326
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: Night football Cowboys at the Chargers right here at SOFI Stadium.

327
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: It's been rough for Dak and a lot of the

328
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Cowboys stars. Does he get healthy against a suspect Chargers defense.

329
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: I think this is a spot where if you have

330
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: Dak Prescott, you can go ahead and get him into

331
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: your starting lineup. I know it's been rough this year,

332
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: but the Chargers have allowed an average of three hundred

333
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: and twenty eight passing yards per game and just under

334
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: two passing touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. Plus in a

335
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: lot of the games for the Cowboys this year, they've

336
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 3: been able to just rely on Tony Pollard and their

337
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 3: defense doesn't give up any points, and then Dak doesn't

338
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: have to throw much in the second half. The Chargers

339
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: are going to put up points and their offense I

340
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: think will keep the Cowboys in a competitive game, which

341
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: means Dak will probably have to throw the ball more

342
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: than we are anticipating. That's good most weeks, except if

343
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: he's playing the.

344
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers.

345
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: I think they just got to push the ball downfield,

346
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: but do it in a smart and effective way. Brandon

347
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: Cooks was pretty much a ghost in that game last week.

348
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Seedee Lamb didn't have much. The one touchdown that they

349
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: did score was kind of a hope and prey to

350
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Cavante Turpin. They've got to get the ball downfield. I

351
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: do think this is a good Tony Pollard game. I

352
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: think he definitely gets right here. I have a feeling

353
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: that after this week there's gonna be a lot of

354
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott on the waiver wire because if he is

355
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: if he is underwhelming again this week in a good

356
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: man the Cowboys are on a bye in Week seven,

357
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: and if you need quarterback help, it's gonna be really

358
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: easy just to move on from Dak Prescott and find

359
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: somebody else. So, unless he has a huge game, Dak

360
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Prescott may be widely available across fantasy leagues. It's time

361
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: to see who will Deliver presented by Uber Eats, who

362
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: is caping up for you this week.

363
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: Let's just keep riding the hot hand Justin Fields. In

364
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 3: the last two weeks alone, Justin Fields has thrown for

365
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 3: six hundred and seventeen yards, eight touchdowns, and scored sixty

366
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: one Fantasy points. Now he gets the vikings to allow

367
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: of the tenth most yards, fifth most passing touchdowns through

368
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: the air, and the ninth most Fantasy points per game.

369
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 3: I haven't even talked about his running ability. I'm waiting

370
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: for him to start running the ball again, because if

371
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: he's putting up pass game numbers like this and he

372
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: could start running a little bit, he could be the

373
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 3: greatest fantasy quarterback we've ever seen.

374
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's weird.

375
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: Then Adam Ring pointed this out on Fantasy Live Win

376
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: September Ends. I mean, he's the Green Day song, Wake

377
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: Me Up whin September End. He's averaging like eleven Fantasy

378
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: points per game in the month of September, and it's

379
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: like twenty two or twenty three every other month of

380
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: the season. So now that we've flipped the calendar to October,

381
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: Justin Fields has come alive for me. It's Raheem Mostert.

382
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: It would have been Devon ah Chan had he been

383
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 1: healthy and ready to go. The point being, I want

384
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: part of the Dolphins rushing game, and I especially want

385
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: parts of the Dolphins rushing game against a bad Panthers

386
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: run defense. And so Raheem Moster is going to get

387
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: the lead opportunities here. He is going to, I'm sure

388
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: break at least one big long play. It's weird, I

389
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: think with the top seven fastest ball carriers and on

390
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: a play this year have been all Dolphins. It's like

391
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: six our Tyreek Hill and Devon a Chan and then

392
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: one is Raheem Mostert. So Moster may get a chance

393
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: to put his name in there again a little bit

394
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: higher this week. But he's absolutely got to be in

395
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: your lineup where he must start. That's why they're calling

396
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: him that right now, because he is going to ball

397
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: out again this week. That was Who Will Deliver presented

398
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: by Uber e where you can get almost almost anything,

399
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: the official on demand delivery partner of the NFL.

400
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: Order. Now that is it. We are done.

401
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.

402
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: You know the drill.

403
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review, and remember,

404
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: hating people is like burning down your home to get

405
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: rid of a rat. Be safe, take care of yourselves,

406
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again real soon
