Speaker 1: Esquire Murphy's going on. I'm finally excited heading into a

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: weekend of football. Now at the Giants, I'm really just

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: deciding between his Daniel John is going to score more

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: than Patrick Mahomes or he's just right there neck and

20
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: neck with him. So I mean feeling pretty good. We've

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: already gotten to that point. Happen. Um, So I have

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: to ask between you know you, Eddie and and Fabs

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: here you guys being the East Coasters in our group,

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: I saw that Twitter was going a buzz because Mike

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Francessa is in a movie, isn't it sand And he

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: threw a f bomb out too. Did you see the trailer?

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: I did watch trail yet, Like he's there with Kevin Garnett.

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: He's playing like a bookie or something in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: it's you know, so I I grew up. I love

30
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Mike Francessa, and a lot of people can't stand him.

31
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: You know, he's like the Yankees. You either love him

32
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: or you hate. I feel like he's a thing that

33
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: like New Yorkers love and the rest of the country

34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: is like just doesn't get it. But you guys are

35
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: always putting out clips of him like sounding c nil

36
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: and like, well, what's the what's so fun house is it?

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Twitter? Contact? I follow? I'm sure Eddie you

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: do too, And I mean he recks Francessa, and you know,

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: I get it. There's some editing they're done, but you know,

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: there's oftentimes situations where FRANCESSA might say one thing earlier

41
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: in the week and then maybe changes tune later in

42
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: the week. It doesn't make me love for Incess any less.

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: But he had been getting destroyed on social media because

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: he said on his show, people are jealous, and that's

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And when you say that, that

46
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: makes you feel that makes you seem like you are

47
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: condescending to everyone else, that I'm better than everyone else,

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: and of course everyone's going to just pour it on.

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: He's just a guy that I think if you grew

50
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: up in a certain time, especially when he was with Dog,

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: you just kind of fell in love with them. He

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: loved their banter, and then they kind of, you know,

53
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: they split up, and then, like you were saying, Marcus,

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: he says a lot of uh like agree to stuff,

55
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: wrong stuff. He sounds almost senile. But the people that

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: already were locked into him are going to always enjoy

57
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: him no matter what. And the rest of the country

58
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: is like, this guy is wrong on everything. He sounds

59
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: like he's unformed something. He doesn't watch sports, So that's

60
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: why I think a lot of people now are like,

61
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: what's the point of this? Like he does radio and

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: every wrong way you possibly it's a four hour show

63
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,839
Speaker 1: of just phone calls. I mean, but like I said,

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: he has these hardcore lock and fans is what you

65
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: can do about it. And also too, I think people

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: when he left, he made a big, you know deal

67
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: about retiring and you know, leaving and everything else, and

68
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: then he was retired for like what he I mean,

69
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Brett Farve was retired for longer than France. I had

70
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: no idea he was even retired. Yeah, honestly, I really

71
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: had no idea he was even that big of a thing.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: And that Mike and the Mad Dog was literally the

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: best sports talk show that's lived. Maybe I'm biased. I

74
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: don't feel like there's a talk show out there in

75
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: the history of sports that's better than Mike and the

76
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Mad Dog. Wow, even though you know Matt money Smith

77
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: and he has I love Matt money Smith, but this

78
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: is this is yeah, I mean that this is like

79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore. I would say that's totally an East Coast thing.

80
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Because everything I've heard of Francessa, he sounds like he's

81
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: seen now and every time I hear The Mad Dog,

82
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: he's screaming at me for no apparent reason. And I'm like,

83
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: why would you want this? I don't at all. I

84
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: don't get the appeal the banter that those two had

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: back and forth and the knowledge that they both had,

86
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: and I get it. FRANCESSA, Okay, he he's getting up

87
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: there in age, right, maybe he's already there. Uh, and

88
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: he has said some things that would would you know,

89
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: sort of make him seem as though he was senile.

90
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: But the knowledge that those two guys have across an

91
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: array of professional sports and even colleges is pretty ridiculous.

92
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: On the flip side, how Adam Chandler's like a guy's laugh.

93
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: I definitely want just making movies like with whoever he wants.

94
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: The guy just racked in the Never much She's I mean,

95
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: living the dream. And I think he was like the

96
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: first guy that Netflix just dump truck a bunch of

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: money on, like for like six or seven movies. I

98
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: don't think any of them have actually been good. Yeah.

99
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: I watched the one Mystery something or other like on

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: the with Jennifer Aniston. I watched it. It was it

101
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: was whatever he shows to like award shows with like

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Yankees T shirts and Jim Short song Like that guy

103
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: is man. I strive to be that guy. Here's here's

104
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: a really friendly personal guy though, uh you know, just

105
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: quick and I have friends who worked over at Sony

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: the Sony Lot, and they say he's the guy. He's

107
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: the guy who will show up on the treadmill like

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: right next to you when all the other treadmills are empty.

109
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: He'll get on the treadmill right next to you and

110
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: then want to talk about basketball for like half an hour. Yeah,

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, enough Adam Sandler talk. Let's

112
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: do some news. Well, the big news. You may have

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: seen it this morning. I did while I was eating

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: my breakfast. Multiple reports are saying Melvin Gordon could be

115
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: back with the Chargers very soon. In fact, could be

116
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: as soon as this Thursday, that he will end his

117
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: hold out and report back to the team. Now, I

118
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect that he's going to show up and suit

119
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: up and play in Week four for the Chargers, but

120
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: this does mean FABS that he will probably be If

121
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,239
Speaker 1: these reports are true, he'll be back on the field

122
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: very soon, which means Austin Ekeler takes a bump back

123
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: and what Justin Jackson suddenly kind of rosterable. Yeah, it's

124
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see the dynamic between Gordon and

125
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Eckler when they back. So so, you know, over the

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: last couple of seasons we've seen it, Gordon has been

127
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: the featured back. He's getting the goal line opportunities. Um,

128
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: but Eckler had standalone flex value because he's such a

129
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: versatile guy who can catch the ball out of the

130
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: backfield and he's a ridiculous playmaker. So I'm very interested

131
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: to see considering that, you know, Gordon's held out and

132
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: at some point he's coming back here soon, at least

133
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: those are the reports. Oh what do we say? Do

134
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: we see Eckler back to second on the depth charge

135
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: do they ease Gordon back in slowly because he hadn't

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: played football for a while. And when Gordon is back

137
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: at football speed and and and in football shape, does

138
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,799
Speaker 1: he reclaim that featured role where Eckler comes in and

139
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, becomes that change of pace back who still

140
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: has some standalone flex value. Or are we looking at

141
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a committee and that could make our lives a bit

142
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: of a headache. I have no clear. I don't know.

143
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: That's why That's why I'm waiting. I don't know. I

144
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: have no I don't know about what the Chargers are

145
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: gonna do here, right, I mean, like Gordon has been

146
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: away from the team for near two months, Austin Nickler

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: has been balling the hell out while he's been off

148
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: the off field holding out. I mean, it's just I

149
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: don't know. I really, I really have no idea how

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: they're going to purse the situation. It could go full

151
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: blown committee here, which we're gonna fantasy. But yeah, hey,

152
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: Ekela owners enjoyed the Dolphins game this weekend. See why

153
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: I look at it and could be one of the

154
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: last I know that folks who have Ekeler are sort

155
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: of panicked. But I look at it as you got

156
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: above and beyond what you expected out of Austin Eckler, right,

157
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean you drafted him probably you know at six

158
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: seventh round. Maybe he's a handcuffed to Melvin Gordon, and

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: then it turns out through the first three weeks he's

160
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: a top three top running back. Right, So even if

161
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: he goes back to being kind of a secondary feature

162
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: in the Chargers offense, we saw last year he had

163
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: standalone value even with Melvin Gordon. So I know people

164
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: are panicked and wondering what to do. And my advice

165
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: is like, look, just understand that you you got a

166
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: bargain for a few weeks there, and now he goes

167
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: back because you also drafted another couple of running backs

168
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: ahead of him. He's not he was not your predictable

169
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: RB one, right, You've got somebody else there, So now

170
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: he just goes back to being like a matchup based

171
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: flex option. But yeah, you you drafted Austin Ekeler right

172
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: with the under the pretense that Melvin Gordon at some

173
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: point would be coming back back. And it just so

174
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: happens that Austin Ekeler has literally been one of the

175
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: three best fantasy right backs right for the first three

176
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: weeks and he's gonna smash against the Dolphins. You Austin

177
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Nickler's owners are most likely going to be sitting on

178
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: four now right a season, So I mean, just you know,

179
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: enjoy it well it is, and then you know, you

180
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: just go back to what your contingency plan at the

181
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Uh Cam Newton has already been

182
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: ruled out for Week four. He is dealing reportedly with

183
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: a Liz Frank injury. Liz Frank is just she's she's rough.

184
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: Man who she's Uh, she's she's she's not kind to

185
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: athletes feet. I know that no timetable on his return,

186
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: So Graham, this means it is Kyle Allen for the

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: foreseeable future. Um. I assume he's right now just a

188
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: matchup based starter and kind of nothing more. It is. Yeah,

189
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: I've seen some buzz about Kyle Allen potentially being like

190
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: a streamer every single week, and I just don't really

191
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: see it. You have to understand this Cardinal secondary last

192
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: week is just so brutal right now, and they're just

193
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: going to continue to get ripped. But Cale Allen can

194
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: play a little bit, and I think this is great.

195
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: Um in general, I don't think it's really that bad

196
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: of news for d J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, especially

197
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: given where Cam is at and as a passer at

198
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: this point in his career right now. Yeah, he had

199
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: a really good passer rating throwing a Greg Olson also

200
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: last week, and I agree with you. I was big

201
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: on Kyle Allen. I like him this week, but he

202
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: has a matchup based starter. I mean, let's let's not

203
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: get things confused, but I will say this. I dropped

204
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: Cam Newton in one of my leagues this week, and

205
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: I didn't feel all that bad about it because when

206
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: you look at his last four games where he hasn't

207
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: had a touchdown, Graham, he hasn't rushed for a touchdown

208
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: since last October. Okay, Cam Newton is basically built in

209
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: terms of a fantasy player based on what he can

210
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: do with his legs, and if he is not running

211
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: with the football, if he's not going in there and

212
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: punching it in near the goal line, he's not really

213
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: that useful for fantasy owners. So I didn't feel bad

214
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: about dropping him. In his last four games, I think

215
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: he's averaged nine rushing yards a game. The rushing tempts

216
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: are way down. I actually want to see what Kyle

217
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: Allen can do, and I'm very interested to see what

218
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: he can do against Houston, whose defense has not been

219
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: all that great against the pass road games, so it's

220
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be tougher, and Arizona is where

221
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: he went to high school, so maybe a little friendlier environment.

222
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: But I'm really interested to see what this kid can

223
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: do this week. Yeah, I'm looking at the Panthers schedule.

224
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: This week is the Texas. Next week is the Jaguars. Uh,

225
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: then the Bucks or on the road to Tampa, which

226
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm still not sure what to make of that Buccaneers

227
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: defense because on the one hand, it looks like it's better,

228
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: but on the other hand, they still are giving up yards. Yeah,

229
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: their secondary is bad, but their front seven led by

230
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: Shack Barrett, who's just been phenomena. He's literally turned he's

231
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: turned his career around here in Tampa. Definitely not that

232
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: the Bucks are not the same matchup that we were

233
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: kind of hammering against last year. Yeah, So that that's

234
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: why I want to keep an eye on. I guess

235
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: we've watched the Bucks over the next couple of weeks

236
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: to kind of get a better idea of whether or

237
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: not you would roll Kyle Allen out in that situation.

238
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Back here to Los Angeles, Sean mcvain says he has

239
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: to do quote better job of using Toddyes sake, Marcus, Um,

240
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: you think Sean McVeigh has pissed me off so much

241
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: about Todd Gurley over the past like nine months, he's

242
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: been he's just lied, and none of it's believable at

243
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: that point, right, you can't believe Sean McVeigh about anything.

244
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna say about Todd Gurley just I mean, for me,

245
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is they've got to work him into

246
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: the passing game, right. I think he's dude, He's he's

247
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: getting like barely any targets this Season's got what six targets,

248
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: I believe, six targets, four catches, four catches for eight

249
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 1: and you know what, two guys. When I watch him,

250
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: he looks fine. He doesn't look like a guy who's

251
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: got a bad knee. And and they just are They're

252
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: neutering this guy's fantasy value. They really are. Unless there's

253
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: something that we don't know, which is quite possible, it is.

254
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: It is just confusing as hell to me. So the

255
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: Rams have kind of changed their offensive philosophy right like

256
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: they used to be. Over the past couple of years,

257
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: they've been one of the teams that have targeted their

258
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: running back most, especially in early downs, and now they've

259
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: they basically stopped throwing the ball to the running back.

260
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: I think they're dead last in terms of target share

261
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: to their running backs this year. They're they're basically they're

262
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,599
Speaker 1: just running their offense through There are three receivers and

263
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know if this is going to change

264
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: anytime soon. I think fabs. I mean, I think Todd

265
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Gurley still has his burst in a straight line, but

266
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 1: I think we I'm concerned that Girly can't make the

267
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: same cuts and can't make the same kind of lateral

268
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: shifty movements that you have to have in a passing game.

269
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why they're not necessarily, you know, featuring

270
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: him as a receiver so much, because that was such

271
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: a huge part of his fantasy value UM in the past. Yeah,

272
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, I'm also wondering too, because like they're not

273
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: using him in the passing game, they're not running the

274
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: ball super effectively, at least they certainly didn't on Sunday

275
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: Night against the Browns. They did not run the ball

276
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: all that well. I noted that it seemed like their

277
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: best running plays were running those Jets sweeps and those

278
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: in the rounds when they got the ball to Robert

279
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: Woods or Brandon Cooks. Um. You know, and you start

280
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: to wonder too, And I'm trying to find this and

281
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, I probably won't have it for this show,

282
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: but maybe I'll tweet it out. I'd be interested to

283
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: see how much they're using play action this year. Versus

284
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: last year because that was such a big part of

285
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 1: what they did, what what what made them so successful?

286
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: And you just wonder if there's no real threat of

287
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley getting the football or being effective as a runner,

288
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: then you know, I don't know how effective their play

289
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: action game is going to be, but I would be

290
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: curious to Yeah, so I've got it right here. Actually

291
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: look at that. Yeah, profitball focus, the wonders of the

292
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: modern Internet. There you go. Uh, no, they're you're they're

293
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: still using play action about the same same fourth most

294
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Well there you go. Then all right,

295
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Well we'll see how they get him involved, because I

296
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks are hoping for more out

297
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: of Todd Gurley. The Rams, I know are hoping for

298
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: more out of Todd Gurley. Jay Gruden says he will

299
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: not bench Case Keenum says he wants quote continuity at quarterback. Uh.

300
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: There was a a photo floating around the twitters yesterday

301
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: of Dwayne Haskins looking irritated and just frustrated on the

302
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: bench while you know, Case Keenum was going over outing

303
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: charts and photos. Um, I don't know that throwing Dwayne

304
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: Haskins to the Wolves or rather to the Bears on

305
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Monday Night was going to be a good situation and look,

306
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: maybe fabs. This was just a really really terrible game

307
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: for case Keenum against a really really good defense, but

308
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: it owned three. Uh, with an offense that really is

309
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: just okay. I can't imagine we're gonna We're gonna stay

310
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: on case Keenum all your look, but I think that's obvious.

311
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, at some point they're gonna make the switch

312
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: to Haskins. I will tell you this though, Case Keenum

313
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: is a nice streamer this week. You're in DFS. That's

314
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: a nice play man. The Giants defense is garbage. Yeah,

315
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean it is terrible and and Scary Terry is

316
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: is is balling? Uh? They're getting production from Richardson now,

317
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: who could end up also being a nice little sneaky

318
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: add off the waiver Wire flex starter of this week

319
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: if you need one, by the way, a Scary Terry

320
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: from Rick and Morty or is it from Jason Terry

321
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: former Celtics player or or Jason Terry how about that

322
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: poem and blanking the guy for the Celtics to Terry Rosier.

323
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah,

324
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: No matter what. He's been scarier for the defensive backs

325
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: that are facing him, and McLaurin is maybe not a

326
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: must start this week, but he's pretty damn close. Uh

327
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: already damn close. Oh. I feel like we should go

328
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: with the mclauren f one reference because if we we

329
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: already threw out their three scary Terry's right, so we

330
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: can't really add another one. Let's go a different directions.

331
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: So mclauren f one there. Um. Sam Donald has been

332
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: cleared to do cardio. The Jets are on a bye

333
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: this week, but there's a very good chance he could

334
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: be back in week five when New York is back

335
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: in action, So Grham I would have I assume this

336
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: is good news for Robbie Anderson, Jamison Crowd or even

337
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: Levian Bell who who really Over the last couple of weeks,

338
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: those guys were borderline unusable. Oh man, The Jets need

339
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: to lift bad um. Luckily for them, I mean, their

340
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: first two matchups out of their byes not too too bad.

341
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: They get the Eagles secondary on the road, unfortunately, then

342
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: they faced the Cowboys, but then they've got the Patriots

343
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: and Jaguars before they faced the Dolph Giants at Redskins,

344
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: So a little bit of a mixed bag coming out,

345
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: But I think we're all gonna be happy to see

346
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Sam Donald back Understonder and Chris Hernon will be back

347
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: in week five. There you go. Yeah, and that's a sneak,

348
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: sneaky ad here in the next week or so if

349
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: you need help at tight end, and a lot of

350
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: people need help at tight end, I mean, Will dis

351
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: Lee is like the hero that we're all hoping he

352
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: can be. This Yeah, I missed out on him in

353
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of waiver wire ads this week.

354
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: We should know while we're doing news to the Steelers

355
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: traded right for Nick Nick Vanett, which is going to

356
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: open up even more opportunity for world dis Lee. They've

357
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: kind of been sharing snaps the first couple of weeks,

358
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: and I mean and that also, yes, now they're going

359
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: to be rolling out Will. That also means Vance McDonald.

360
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: That sounds like bad news for you know, he's always

361
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: he's always been a guy with like a lot of potential,

362
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: but injuries have have hampered him. Yeah, well, the Big

363
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: Ben injury and now his own injury of kind of

364
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: yeah plateau. Now, according to reports, Jerry Doolak, who has

365
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: been a long time Steelers beat writer, says that the

366
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: they did not make the trade because of McDonald's shoulder.

367
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: In reads that they're just trying to add some depth

368
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: to the position. Uh and and get a number two Okay,

369
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: well you traded a fifth round pick. So I'm just

370
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: I'm just reading what's on the twitters. That's the Steelers.

371
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: Steelers have been confounding Marcus. Yeah, that's that's absolutely true.

372
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: Last bit of news. Freddie Kitchen says he is not

373
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: considering giving up play calling duties. I mean, I guess

374
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be surprised because that's what got him the

375
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: head coaching job in the first place. But but Fabs,

376
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you can't keep running draws on

377
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: fourth and nine, man, Like, I don't know what happened.

378
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 1: Like this may have been like the biggest goof in

379
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: the NFL or in fantasy football because everyone just bought

380
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: in on the Browns. Baker looked good under Kitchens last season,

381
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: and they added Odell Beckham Jr. And they added some

382
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: weapons on the defensive side as well, and everyone went

383
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: all in. It reminds me of a few seasons ago

384
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: when the Eagles went nuts in the off season. Everyone

385
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: thought that they were going to be the odd on

386
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: It's on favorites, and they tanked and Baker has looked bad. Now.

387
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: Part of it is his offensive line has got major issues.

388
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: But this is not the offense that fantasy owners had

389
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: thought they were investing in at this point. And now

390
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: you've got a road game against Baltimore. I saw Baker

391
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Mayfield in one of my leagues get dropped. Okay, already,

392
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: he's got a road game against Baltimore. I don't want

393
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: to touch him in that one. I'm not touching him

394
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: in that one. I mean, Baker has been average at

395
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: best and more more often times, uh less than average.

396
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Look at his numbers. The schedule upcoming is not friendly.

397
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: On the road at Baltimore, they go to San Francisco,

398
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: They've got Seattle, then they have a bye. Their two

399
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: games after the bye on the road at New England,

400
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: on the road at Denver. Like it's it's not a

401
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: good look at schedule. The NFL schedule makers did not

402
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: do a great job. They've got four straight road games

403
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: Sandwich in between their by and they're pretty much all

404
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: tough matchups. Yeah, you know, one of the things that

405
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: I thought about I worried about. I guess with this

406
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Brown's team and you out, it's one thing when you

407
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: are the play caller and you're the offensive coordinator and

408
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: you just you know, you get to spend your time

409
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: in your little cave kind of scratching up plays and

410
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: kind of coming up with fun new things, as opposed

411
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: to being the head coach, where you have so much

412
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: more responsibility. Right now, you gotta check in on the defense,

413
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: you gotta check in on special teams. You usually have

414
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: to be a a people manager. On top of that,

415
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: you've gotta deal with personalities, Whereas when you were the

416
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator that that's really all you have to worry about.

417
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 1: And the Browns are in a good situation. They have

418
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: Todd Monkin who as their offensive coordinator, and Monk and

419
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: orchestrated the Bucks offense to posting I mean, league leading

420
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: figures in terms of past yardage last year. And now,

421
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: granted that was because the Bucks past defensive was terrible,

422
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: but Todd Monkin conceptually and statistically can can definitely get

423
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: the job done here. I'm not I'm not sure what

424
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: the Browns are doing. Um and right now, I mean,

425
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: they could be very well staring at one and four

426
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: or one in five going there by week Yeah. Absolutely.

427
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: Oh one lass little bit of news, this is gonna

428
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: shake up everything. The Patriots have signed Cody Kessler. He's

429
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: back to be the backup quarterback. I guess Jared said him.

430
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: They saw that one pick six and that's all up

431
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: was enough to bring Tom Brady back into that game.

432
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: You know, he throws a six, Tom Brady gets off

433
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: the bench, he comes back in to finish it out.

434
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Uh So, Cody Kessler is back in our lives at

435
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: the at the quarterback position. There. That's pretty much everything

436
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: you need to know. Alright. Week four gets going in

437
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: about a day and a half from now, So we'll

438
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: go through our our preview, start with the big questions

439
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: of the week. And I came up with five big

440
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: questions that that I have for weeks. For the first one,

441
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: that's how are we feeling about Aaron Rodgers right now?

442
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: I like him this week against the Eagles because the

443
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive backfield is just not been good. Let's put

444
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: it that way. But have you looked at the run

445
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: pass ratio for the Packers this season so well? Not

446
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: great for Aaron Rodgers. So last season they threw the

447
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: ball sixty seven point five percent of the time ran

448
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: at thirty two point five. This year they're down to

449
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: fifty six point two percent, passing in forty eight percent

450
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: on the ground. That is a major, a major change.

451
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: And it's not that Aaron Rodgers is playing poorly. It's

452
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: not that Davante Adams is playing poorly. It's that Matt

453
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: Lafour is brought in an offense that is clearly leaning

454
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: on the ground game more than any Packers offense has before,

455
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: because they have Aaron Rodgers. And I've said this a

456
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: million times before and I'll say it again. There's no

457
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: mustar quarterback in the National Football League unless it's Patrick Mahomes.

458
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: And the same goes for Aaron Rodgers. And I've got

459
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and start him and said him this week,

460
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: and people will be like, Oh, that's obvious. It's not.

461
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: It's not obvious anymore, guys. Aaron Rodgers is He's better

462
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: than a matchup based starter. But if the matchup is

463
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: bad and you've got Kyler Murray or hell, I mean,

464
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: we've seen young quarterbacks come in and just ball. If

465
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: Rogers has got a match up against say the Chicago

466
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: Bears and Daniel Jones playing say the Washington Redskins. If

467
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: you started Daniel Jols veron Rodgers, I'd have no problem

468
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: with it whatsoever. Rodgers Rogers for now a little over

469
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: two years has basically just been a middling QB one

470
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: for fantasy, and it's it's now trickled over into this season.

471
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: He and Baker Mayfield have both not finished as the

472
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: top sixteen fantasy quarterback. Yet It's gonna happen this week

473
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: for Rogers because this is I do like him this week.

474
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: This is a nuclear spot. Yeah, I think this is

475
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: a great spot. And let's also remember so he was

476
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: the QB six last season, right, but he had that

477
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: one huge game against I think it was the Jets

478
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: late in the season. I think that was actually Week seventeen,

479
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 1: it was it was six. He had a couple of

480
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: big games and I think that one big one was

481
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: against the Jets. That was the game where like Elijah

482
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: McGuire had a good game. I think Jamal Wayne's out

483
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 1: a good game. But you look at the numbers, Graham's

484
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: Graham's right on here. Yeah, I will say the pack

485
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: I was looking at their schedule last night, because I'm

486
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: trying to buy Davante Adams. In some leagues, their schedule

487
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: really does open up to after the Eagles, so perhaps

488
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some more shootouts and better matchups ahead.

489
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: But but yeah, they're they're run based offense is obviously

490
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: not good moving forward to Rogers. Yeah, um, but I

491
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: guess the frustrating part about that is even if they

492
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: go to a run based offense, Jamal Williams is getting

493
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: sprinkled in there with Aaron Joneses and so that's I

494
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: know that's causing headaches. Can we agree, guys? Can we

495
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: agree that predicting the running back position has gotten a

496
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: lot harder this season when when you're looking at the

497
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Niners and what they're doing, when you're looking at the

498
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: Packers and what they're doing, And you know, we need

499
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: more Minnesota Viking scenarios. We need more of those, We

500
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: need less of the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, the Bears

501
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: have tricked us a week or two so far this season.

502
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: It's been really hard to sort of figure out some

503
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: of these backfield scenarios. We you know, we talked about

504
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: Darwin Thompson and now this Dude's not even He's not

505
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: even rosterable at this point. It's Darryl Williams in Kansas

506
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: City behind Damien and Lashawn Quick. It's become tough. Yeah, yeah,

507
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: I mean it is in the age of specialization. Uh,

508
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: it has kind of gotten harder to kind of figure

509
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: out where to go. Speaking of running backs, Graham's Chris

510
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Carson is still the main back in Seattle for now.

511
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: I look at Rashade Penny was out last week and

512
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: I think that probably would have been the Penny game. Um,

513
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: he kind of popped up on the injury part with

514
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: a hamstring late in the week, did not play. We'll

515
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: see if he practices this week. But um, Rashad Penny,

516
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: after a really slow start to his rookie season, has

517
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: been awesome. I mean, he ended the year last year.

518
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: I think over his last eight carries, he he was

519
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: averaging nearly six yards per carry. Looks his looks a

520
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: little has had the same explosiveness so far to start

521
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: the year. And I would be pretty concerned if for

522
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: Carson owners because of the fumbling issues and because the

523
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: fact he can't hang on the ball both as a

524
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: runner and receiver. For shop, Penny keeps ripping off explosive plays.

525
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: This this could turn into a little bit of a

526
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: nightmare for Carson. Owners movie telling you the thing that

527
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: makes me nervous is Pete Carroll saying we still believe

528
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: in him, Like when you gotta come out and say

529
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: that that that's not good. They probably don't really Chris

530
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Carson too. Man, he's been so good and so I

531
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: think we were all in on him, all in on him.

532
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: I will say this though, Uh, it's pretty clear that

533
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: if this does go sideways and Penny becomes the you know,

534
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: the one A and at the running back position, we're

535
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: going to see a lot of c J procise on

536
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: passing downs, which he led the team with fifty of

537
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: the offensive snaps last week. I feel like for years

538
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: we've been waiting to see a lot of CJ pro sise,

539
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: and I was at one point of humongous c J

540
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: process true through he was the first guy I ever

541
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: charted for yards created like five or six years ago. Yeah, okay,

542
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: first guy ever charted for yards created. But so he's

543
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: got a special place in your heart. He does. But

544
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: he got injured so much. He's finally healthy now. Though

545
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: he's healthy now but now you'ven end up behind you know,

546
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: Rosa Penny, so we'll see what that means. Uh. Chacoby

547
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: Brissette has been really good the last couple especially last

548
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: week he was he was pretty good. Fabs. Uh, we

549
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: don't quite know what the status of t Y Hilton

550
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: is going to be. Bad man, that's the big one.

551
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: There's a match up against the Raiders. Can you trust

552
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette this week? Let's let's find out who he's

553
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: going to be throwing the football too before before we

554
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: make a decision on that. I think two QB League

555
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: super flex leagues obviously. Uh, there's still a run based

556
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: offense though, I mean, let's let's not kid ourselves. This

557
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: is this is an offense that they run it with

558
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: Marlon matt There's there's just no question about that. So no,

559
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I want one of those. But but the matchup is good,

560
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: you know this week, you know, as you guys mentioned,

561
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think you can't roll him

562
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: out there. But I do want to see what's going

563
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: on with t Y because you know that, and he's

564
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: also he's already you know, lost a weapon in the

565
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: office in funches. So let's see what t Y status

566
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: he is because this could end up being a big

567
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack game. I was just about to say that

568
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: if they don't have t Y Hilton, Marlon ma is

569
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: gonna get like twenty five carries against the Raiders front seven.

570
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: And that's not great for Brissetts streaming value. No, not

571
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: so much, not so much. Uh more running back talk,

572
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Graham is this is this finally the week for carry

573
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: On Johnson? It is I love carry On Johnson. Last

574
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: week without c J. Anderson, he was finally made their

575
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: their bell cow back. I saw Tony Carries was on

576
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: the field for seventy of snaps like doubled up or

577
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: almost tripled up Ty Johnson and routes run and now

578
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: he gets the nut matchup. He gets a perfect spot

579
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. The Chiefs defense because they play so

580
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: much nickel and diamond, because they do not put a

581
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: ton of defenders in the box. They just get whacked

582
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: on the ground. Last year they were one of the

583
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: worst run defense in the league, and start this season

584
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: they've given up over six yards per carriage. To Ingram,

585
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: this is a huge spot for carry On. Yeah, that's good.

586
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks I mean, I know

587
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: people myself included, are sort of on edge about carry

588
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: On Johnson through the first time. I might be confident

589
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: in him this week if you can somehow get carry

590
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: On Johnson for um, I don't. I don't even know

591
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: what the price would be right now, because he's an

592
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: extremely tough value player to value. But if you can

593
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: get him below you know what, you nearly what you

594
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: drafted him as a third fourth round value, I would

595
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: be very very inclined to you that moving forward, because

596
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: their their lines backfield. Right now, it's just him and

597
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: john It's pretty much him right exactly, exactly. Last big

598
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: question for the week, FABS, how many people are you

599
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: confident starting in this Patriots Bills game. There's two top

600
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: six defenses right now. I mean the Patriots defense has

601
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: not their defense has not allowed to touchdown, they given

602
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: one one up on special teams, and then there's the

603
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: pick six. Um, did you say confident? Sure? How many

604
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: people are you confident? That's what I'm saying. Not none,

605
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: not even Tom Brady. Tom Brady in his last four

606
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: games against the Bills is average fewer than eleven Fantasy

607
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: points per game. He has more interceptions than touchdowns. And

608
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: the Bills are at home great past defense. The running

609
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: back situation in New England confuses the heck out of everyone.

610
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Last week it was Burkhead, but James White was out.

611
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: James White's back this week. The one guy definitely ain't

612
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: playing a Sony Michelle. There's no way I'm playing him,

613
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, Burkhead or White maybe as a flex um.

614
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: We've talked about the loss of James Devlon and how

615
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: big that is for Michelle. I think that hurts him

616
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: season long. You're looking at what's going on with Julian Edelman.

617
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: If he plays, I mean you probably have to play

618
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: him most leagues or PPR. I think Josh Gordon also

619
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: is like is like a flex play this week. But

620
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: on the flip side, Devin Singletary could be back, and

621
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: even if he isn't back, I still don't have a

622
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: lot of faith at Frank Gore, volume based flex starter

623
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: at best. I'm not touching Josh Allen, like I get it.

624
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: The Patriots have played two really bad quarterbacks so far.

625
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: They played Roethisburg in Week one and then a couple

626
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: of stinkers after that. But um, I just don't trust

627
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. This week, and I like him a lot,

628
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: but I don't trust him this so so Devin Singletary

629
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: did not practice. It's Wednesday morning, Um right, so we

630
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, you might be the Gore Show, Goren

631
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeldon Show one more time. But and John Brown is

632
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: a hard fade for me. Really, Yes, I don't want

633
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: him this week. Nope, don't want it. Interesting, I don't

634
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: want it. I don't know how to feel about that.

635
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like he gets maybe a couple

636
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: of deep shots and like, yeah, he's a whole he's

637
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: a potential home run play. Are we going to see

638
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: Gilmore on him? I don't know if he'll travel with him,

639
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be interesting to see. I mean, Gilmore

640
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: has been so good. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I'm

641
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: not sure if they'll travel with him. It'll be interesting

642
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: to see. Because the Bills play so much like twelve

643
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: and twenty one personnel, they're usually in two receiver sets.

644
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: They could travel Brown with him. So uh, yes, so

645
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: that's one that you know it. It's had some fantasy

646
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: stars the first few weeks of the season, but this

647
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: is a week that maybe none of those guys see

648
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: your lineup. Uh, fantasy gold mines, the first one that

649
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: NFC East clash Washington at Big Blue. Uh fas you

650
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: talked about it that case Keenum is a streamer. We

651
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: know Daniel Jones is gonna be a streamer. That are

652
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna be receivers galore on both sides of this one.

653
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, and look, I know I'm not huge

654
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: on Wayne Gallman, but look, if there's ever a week

655
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: to kind of, you know, trot him out as a

656
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: flex starter, it seems like the week against his Washington defense. Yeah, dude,

657
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely flex starter, right, I mean that that's

658
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: that's that's I think what he's going to be ultimately,

659
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: while while Barkley is out, maybe he'll be in RB

660
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: two in some leagues when we get to the heavy

661
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: bye weeks, assuming that Barkley is out for the weeks

662
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: as well, which it looks like he's going to be.

663
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're firing up Evan Ingram, no brainer,

664
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: You're firing up Shepherd this week, who looked great in

665
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Danny Dimes's first start, Right, I mean, Daniel Jones is

666
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna unlock stir like Shepherd? Yeah, I really think so.

667
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: And then on the Redskin side, of it. I'm not

668
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: playing the running but Chris Thompson maybe as a flex

669
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: because we're all PPR at this point. But Richardson, I mentioned,

670
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: is a sneaky little play this week. Maybe not so

671
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: sneaky because the Giant's defense is terrible. But Terry McLaurin

672
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: is a must start, a virtual must start this week

673
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: unless you're super deep at wide receiver. And if you are,

674
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: I would suggest setting high on him after this game

675
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: because his value is just gonna explode. Yeah yeah, uh yeah,

676
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: this one, this was kind of an easy one. The

677
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: other the next one, Bucks at the Rams um Again.

678
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: I talked about that Buck's defense, Graham. I mean, I

679
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: like what Todd Bowles has done with it. I think

680
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: they're being more aggressive and they're making more plays, but

681
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: they still give up some points. Even if the Rams

682
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: haven't necessarily been the juggernaut that we've seen, um, I

683
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: still think of the situation where Tampa had to keep

684
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: throwing the football to stay in it. The Rams are

685
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna try to move the ball up and down the field.

686
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: This one, I don't know. Maybe this is the Todd

687
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: Gurley get right game, maybefully, hopefully maybe if he's using

688
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: the passing game. But this is just like the true

689
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: I won't say first test for the Bucks defense because

690
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: I think Dandell Jones you know, played extremely well against

691
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: them last week. But you know they had the forty

692
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: Niners and Panthers against the limping Cam Newton, Drew Jones

693
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: making the first start. But this is this is gonna

694
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: be the first true litmus test to see if this

695
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: Bucks defense is truly improved. Um. But this is just

696
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: an enormous spot for Cooper Cup and all these guys.

697
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is such a great byload this week. I

698
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: know Cooks and Cup have both been kind of the

699
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: one and too so far, but I think that will

700
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: even out as the season goes on, and it could

701
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: even out just this week against this Buck secondary. I've

702
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: seen talk that people are concerned about Robert Woods, like

703
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: they're worried about him because he doesn't have a touchdown.

704
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: And I guess this year or something like, I you know,

705
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have him in one of my

706
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: leagues and he's done Diddley poosh, He's got twenty three targets,

707
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: thirteen catches a buck forty three. Um, I don't know.

708
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: I just feel like with those three, it's always gonna

709
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: kind of would sate on who it is and any

710
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: given week context matters. Okay, Week one thirteen targets eight

711
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: for seventy great game. Week two, Drew Brees gets hurt,

712
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: the Rams don't have to throw the ball. Robert Woods

713
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: only sees two targets. Fine, Week three he gets eight targets.

714
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit unlucky. And for what it's worth,

715
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: Jared Goff played like crap in that game. He was

716
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: not good outside of Cooper Cup in a few big

717
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: places to Brandon Cooks, Jared Goff was not good at

718
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 1: that game. So really it's only been one disappointing game.

719
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: Goff has not been that good this season. Jared hasn't

720
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: been very good dating back even I mean I was

721
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: not on the Jared Goff train this year and yeah, yeah,

722
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: well that through three weeks it's looked okay, Hey, I

723
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: was on the later, I was on the Cam Newton

724
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: train over Jared Goff. So that was just a net

725
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: loss for me. Yeah, so much for that last fantasy

726
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: gold mine Dallas at New Orleans. We know how good

727
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys offense has been. Uh, the Saints they figured

728
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: it out I mean, look, Teddy Bridgewater might not be

729
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: a regular starter, but he understands to get the ball

730
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: to Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara, and really that's all

731
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: you kind of need. So I would think that this

732
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: is one that has the potential to end up being

733
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: a pretty back and fourth one. I know you will

734
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: be sure locked in on this one. This one, it

735
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: should be one of the better games of the week.

736
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,359
Speaker 1: On paper, it looks like it. And this is I

737
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: mean talking real football, and I get it. You know,

738
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: the Saints don't have Drew Brees, but this is a

739
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,440
Speaker 1: little bit of a test for the Cowboys because our

740
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: schedule has been soft. Listen, I admit it, dude. I mean, sorry, Eddie,

741
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: your Giants just not that good, all right. They didn't

742
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: have Danny Dimes at that point. I still don't think

743
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: they're gonna be all that great, uh improved, certainly, But

744
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: then you know, Dolphins and Redskins. I mean, this is

745
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: a game, you know, a road game in New Orleans,

746
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of electricity in that crowd, hostile environment. I

747
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: guess you could say, I really think the Cowboys are

748
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: gonna be up to task. I think Dak Prescott, he's

749
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: he's a mustart unless you have my homes or Lamar Jackson.

750
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, basically, with what he's doing, Amari Cooper is

751
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: proving to be well worth and maybe even worth more

752
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: than what he was drafted at uh in fantasy leagues

753
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: this season. Uh. I, I'm very interested to see how

754
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: well Michael Thomas and crew do because the Cowboys defensive

755
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: backfields a little banged up right now, so I think

756
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater could be looking to go to Thomas a

757
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: little bit more often, uh and and really really show

758
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: off that you know, that that kids just impressive skill

759
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: set against the Cowboys defensive backfield that I said is uh,

760
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little bit shaky right now, guys,

761
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: I have a take. Okay, Alvin Kamar is really freaking good.

762
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: Whoa whoa whoa slow down, slow down. I was trying

763
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: to like almost talk myself into a way of believing

764
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: in Randall Cobb this week, but I couldn't the matchup.

765
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not good against slot receiver, right And

766
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: that was sort of where I was going with it,

767
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: Like I want to and maybe this is like his

768
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: one blow up game for the year or whatever, Like

769
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: I I can envision a scenario where it happens, but

770
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: I don't know that I am brave enough to actually

771
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: like test it out anywhere in the wild. This Yeah,

772
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: Dallas didn't have to throw a ton last week, but

773
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 1: Devin Smith played a punch. He did. Yeah, he absolutely did.

774
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: I know people were asking about out Randall cub versus Devins,

775
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: but I was sort of saying, look, I would lean

776
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: toward Devin Smith just the air yard so potential. When

777
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: I was researching start him and said him like, I

778
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: did you know, look through the slot receiver data and

779
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, these things aren't that good against that?

780
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: Should I go with? And I'm like, yeah, there's there's

781
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: a there's a lot of other wide receivers that I like,

782
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: Dallas could get ahead in this game and kind of

783
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: just control it to not have to throw a ton.

784
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I was wrong about Teddy Bridgewater

785
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean they didn't really have they

786
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: didn't ask him to do very much. But at what

787
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: he did do was just get the ball to to

788
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: to Kamara and Thomas. And I mean Sean Payton's one

789
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: of the best schemers in the league. He can continue

790
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: to do that and get get his guys open in

791
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 1: the right spots. So that'll be that'll be a fun game.

792
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: I think absolutely our fantasy white Lands the first one

793
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland at Baltimore. It is certainly a rivalry game between

794
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: the two. We talked about the fact that Baker Mayfield

795
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: and that Brown's offense has not been great this year.

796
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: They're going against that that Ravens defense, which does not,

797
00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, encourage you to to be optimistic about them.

798
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: I know that the Ravens offense has been pretty good

799
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: this year, but Cleveland, especially upfront, Uh, they're really tough.

800
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett has just been a house wrecker so far

801
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: this season. I know we're kind of keeping an eye

802
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: on the secondary and who is or isn't right there. Um,

803
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: but I mean, this could be a game where, you know,

804
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: the Ravens just sort of you know, maybe they lean

805
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: on mark Ingram a little bit. Um. You know, this

806
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: could be a fairly low scoring game. I think, Yeah,

807
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm fading Baker. I don't want anything to do with

808
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 1: him this week. I start Daniel Jones over mal day Long.

809
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, I started over Baker this week as well.

810
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: You know, there's you know, you're gonna start, Chuck, You're

811
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna start, oh b J. Obviously maybe maybe that's it.

812
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: And Marcus mentioned the defensive backfield. I mean they were

813
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: they were out Greedy last week. Denzel was out last week,

814
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: that Marius was out last week. De Marius looks like

815
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: he's getting closer to returning, so that'll help. But I

816
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: don't really want to make a definitive prediction on Hollywood

817
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: Brown until I see what he's going to be facing

818
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: with that Brown's defensive backfield. But I mean, at worst,

819
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: he's a flex starter, Marcus, I would think at worst

820
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: he's a flex starter. And then of course you start

821
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram and Mark Andrews. Isn't

822
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 1: a good place to this. This is a good spot

823
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, this could turn into a great matchup

824
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: for the Ravens at home. UH note potentially no Denzel

825
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: Ward or Creedy Williams, both missed last week with hamstring injuries.

826
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: Could turn into a great great spot for the Ravens. Yeah,

827
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: so that'll be that we want to watch. Uh talked

828
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: about New England at Buffalo again. Two defenses that coming

829
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: into this game ranked in the top six. The Patriots,

830
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: the number one defense in the league, the Bills at

831
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: number six. I won't spend a lot of time on

832
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: that because we sort of talked about that one a

833
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: little bit Minnesota at Chicago. Uh. We we know that

834
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings they don't want to throw it. They haven't

835
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: really been effective when they have thrown it all all

836
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: that much this year. Uh. I would think the Bears

837
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: are gonna try to lock down on Dalvin Cook and

838
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: prevent him from being the guy that beats them on

839
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: the flip side. Yeah. I know, Mr Trubisky through three

840
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Monday night, but that was against Washington Man.

841
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: That was Minnesota. Uh. David Montgomery is getting usurped. Not

842
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: that you surved, but Cordell Patterson is just throwing a

843
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: wrench into the plans by showing up in the backfield fabs.

844
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: I just I don't see a whole lot of points

845
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: in this one. Yeah, And I don't dig Montgomery as

846
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: much more than a flex this week. You know, I

847
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: just don't um could be a low scoring game projects

848
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: to be a low scoring game. I think the player

849
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: or players that people are most worried about in this game,

850
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 1: because I think we know much of Robiski is not

851
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 1: a viable fantasy starter in most weeks and feeling and digs.

852
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,919
Speaker 1: You know, Diggs, I think he's seventies second fantasy points

853
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: right now. Something ridiculous among wide receivers. I mean, it's

854
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: been awful, and you know it's not digs. I mean

855
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 1: that the Vikings have just completely changed their offensive philosophy

856
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: to running the football so heavy with Dalvin Cook, and

857
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: it's working so far, and now you throw in a

858
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: match up against the Bears, it's to fund digs playable

859
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: this week. I don't think so. The pause is my answer.

860
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Honestly, the pause is my answer.

861
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: There's some there's some like Terry McLaurin, for example, I'm

862
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: playing no doubt digs, But even like some fringier guys,

863
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 1: like some fringier receiver threes like Herd of Simul, like

864
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: would even consider over digs because you can project more

865
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: targets for them at this point. Um, I will say,

866
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 1: though the Bears are gonna try to stop Devin Cook,

867
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: They're gonna try to stop this running game, but I

868
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna be able to because I mean,

869
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: the Bears have one of the most talented, if not

870
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: the most talented Front seven, But this Vikings run game

871
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: right now is just impossible to stop. I mean they

872
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: are doing They're outside zone scheme. I mean just no one,

873
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: no one has figured it out so far. The Bears

874
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: definitely have the talent to do so, and this game

875
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: is obviously at home good spot for them. But yeah,

876
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: I look, I'm starting Dalvin Cook like I would be

877
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: crazy not to, but I'm also sort of being prepared

878
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: for the worst. This week is sort of how I'm

879
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 1: I'm approaching this. That's fair. They could get they could

880
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: use him more in the passing game too. I think

881
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings can do, can do more in

882
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: terms of their play action game and maybe getting Cook

883
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 1: involved in the in the screen games to to kind

884
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: of counteract that Front seven. So we'll see how that is.

885
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at Denver. Craziest thing this is a true waste

886
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: land here, my god. The craziest thing about this we

887
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: are through three weeks. The Broncos don't have a sack.

888
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: That's incredible to me, especially with Vic Fangio right right, Yeah,

889
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't get that. But yeah, there's just

890
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: there's not a lot that I really like in this

891
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: game on either side, Uh you know, I mean, I

892
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: guess if you've got Leonard four Nett, you're you're putting

893
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: them out there because, um, you know, I would stay

894
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: away from any of the wide receivers really in this game.

895
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: Any either of the quarterbacks I would stay away from.

896
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I don't know. I mean I guess

897
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: you could start what you start the Jags defense, you know,

898
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: hoping that Joe Blaco, you know, coughs one up or

899
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: something like that. Right, well, we'll see if Jalen Ramsey

900
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: plays this week. We'll see. Uh that's big. He's got

901
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: a back injury now, yeah, the flu on Monday. Now

902
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 1: now he's trying his hardest to to not show up.

903
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: But um, that's actually the big I think. I really

904
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, maybe he really is sick. Like I

905
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: was really to give him the benefit of the doubt.

906
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: Now it's the back injury, and I'm like, all right,

907
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: this is like this is like when I was in

908
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: the sixth grade, I didn't like my teacher and I

909
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 1: would just tell my parents my stomach herds and I

910
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: can't go to school, Like that's what that was. So

911
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 1: you know what my go to move was and and

912
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: it it backfired on me once. I would say that

913
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't feel good and I feel hot, and my

914
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: mother would come in and you know, back at that time,

915
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: you had the old mercury thermometers, but her mother would

916
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 1: leave the room. I put it on the light bulb.

917
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: Did you have it like a temperature like a hundred

918
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: and twenty? One time? Could be my God's son. We

919
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: need to take you to the hospital. The one time

920
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: I did it and it didn't work. The damn thing

921
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: blew up and my mother says, what the hell happened

922
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 1: in the thermometer? You said you dropped it? Mom? Yeah,

923
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: I know what happened. I'm so sick. It just blew up.

924
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: I didn't use that any Yeah. So yeah, Jack Jacksonville, Denver,

925
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: you're probably staying away from it. Uh so are streaming

926
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: options for the week? Quarterback Daniel Jones obviously is out there.

927
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen against the Houston Texans is one case. Keenum

928
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: another option for streaming at the quarterback spot. Any other

929
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 1: is that I might have missed for this week. Yeah,

930
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: Joe Jacoby Pricett. If Hilton plays plays that's really kind

931
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: of uh tight ends Will dis Lee. Obviously, remember here's there,

932
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: We're all on Will Disley, right, so this is this

933
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: means belly up, right, It's only gonna go belly up

934
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: because everybody is on Will Displee. This week, I through

935
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: t J Hockenson. Matchup is good. The matchup is good,

936
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: so maybe he comes back into our lives. He he

937
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: obviously killed it in Week one against that Cardinals defense

938
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: that gives up a ton of points to tight end.

939
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: So I think this week maybe that the situation is

940
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: right for t J. Hawkinson, and I through Trey Burton

941
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: in there as well. I know that you know Minnesota

942
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: obviously they have a very good defense, but they can

943
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: give up points to tight ends. And we saw on

944
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: Monday night that that Rubinski is not afraid to target

945
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: Trey Burton, so maybe he's starting to kind of get

946
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: things going a little bit. Defense the Chargers. Everyone's other

947
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: Chargers this week that the Tennessee Titans I think are

948
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: another one. Uh the Titans, their defense has an extra

949
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 1: burden on because their offense just can't move the football,

950
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: at least with Marcus Mariota back there, So maybe the

951
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: Titans are about the Steelers this week. I want to

952
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: get on the Steelers against the Bengals. I do. I think.

953
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: I think that's one that would be a lot of

954
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Yeah, I've got two fun lowering ones that

955
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: are definitely probably available. Me say, let me see if

956
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: one of them is what I'm thinking. Colts defense. Okay,

957
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: that I have them in start them and side against

958
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders and have given up like seven sacks back

959
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: to back games, and I kind of like the falcon.

960
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: That's dude, those are my two. Marcus Mariota keeps getting sacked.

961
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 1: He keeps holding the ball way too on the ball

962
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,760
Speaker 1: a long time. You know, I still, just as an aside,

963
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: I just wonder Marcus Mariota was. He's become such a

964
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: different quarterback in the NFL than he was in college

965
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 1: so much so much of what he did in college

966
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: was designed runs and you're trying to get him out

967
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: of the pocket, and I feel like he's come to

968
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: the NFL and wants to prove to everybody that he

969
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: can be this pocket passer. And I'm like, dude, just

970
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,879
Speaker 1: be who you were, man, well, the pocket passer version

971
00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: of Marcus Mario good, be the guy that won a

972
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: Heisman trophy. Man Like go back to being that dude.

973
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: And I think every like man, just just be who

974
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 1: you are. Like, no, I wonder with kind of some

975
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: of these smaller guys like Mariota and Kyler Murray to

976
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 1: a much bigger extent is like these are not very

977
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: large human beings playing the quarterback position. I wouldn't want

978
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: to get hit very much either by humongous safety understand

979
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm just also being honest. No, no, no, I

980
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: I completely understand that, I think, but I think that's

981
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 1: where you you look at a guy like Russell Wilson.

982
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: Like I said during Colin Kaepernick's day that because he

983
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: took a lot of shots too as a runner quarterback,

984
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 1: And I said, as a forty Niner fan that I

985
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: would take Colin Kaepernick, sit him down in a chair

986
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: clockwork orange style and just make him watch Russell Wilson

987
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: take from right. And that's what I would do for

988
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray and Marcus Mariota. Like because Russ runs,

989
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: but he's also smarted to either get out of bounds

990
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: or get down quickly and avoid a lot of those hit.

991
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 1: Mark Jackson put on some weight in his upper body

992
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: this offseason. He's another very smart runner. He's very well.

993
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: He's also extremely fast and you can get around people

994
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: and get much faster than than pretty much anybody else

995
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: in the football field can. But yeah, yeah, just you know,

996
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: there are examples of how to do it right. Um,

997
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I would just I would just

998
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: try to train guys like that. So there you go.

999
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, did we miss anything. I feel like

1000
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: we we kind of covered it this week. I think

1001
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: we're we're all good to go. So there you go.

1002
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: I think we got it all. I think we got

1003
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: it all. Kind of a bad slate, honestly, there's not

1004
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: a ton of great matchups, Like it's just kind of

1005
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: a it's not like there's a bunch of bad matchup side,

1006
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: there's just kind of a middling slate. We've got two

1007
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: teams on buy right kind of dealing with the although

1008
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: it's nice to not have to do with that damn

1009
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: backfield in San Francisco for a week. Well, it's we're

1010
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: just gonna get worse because maybe back and will most

1011
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: likely be back right, So I mean, like this week

1012
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: it's fine. We have two buys, and it's it's buys

1013
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: with teams that don't necessarily have a huge impact on

1014
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy rosters. A couple of guys missing

1015
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: here or there. Hey, by the way, I looked at

1016
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: next week's buys. It's Lions and Dolphins. So again, we

1017
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: won't be missing a ton of fantasy relevant players. Next

1018
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: week we get a week I'm like looking at the butt. Yeah,

1019
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we go well before we

1020
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: have like bipocalypse. At least that's that's something to to

1021
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: be excited about. So there you go. That's it. We

1022

Speaker 1: are done. We appreciate you listening and downloading. As always,

1025
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: it sounds like oranges. So you're on Monday, Wow, Wow

1026
