1
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Fantasy freaks and geeks. What's up? You're listening to the

2
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live podcast Championship Week, James, go here with you.

3
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: It's a smaller than usual castor characters. We've got the

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: whiz kid from Wisconsin. What's up? Uh, it's the same size.

5
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: We're just not kidding. But I was confused. I liked

6
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: because we don't count again real quick as no, because

7
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't have the franchise on today's episode,

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 1: and I'm sad. The Fiery Phoner has become like a

9
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: cult classic. It's it's a great segment. Um. You know,

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: he's he's taking it to another level. Absolutely, people have responded.

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: They absolutely mean the fact that he brings in his

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: own fire siren. You know what I mean? I think

13
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: has taught us anything. It's that people love some fiery rhetoric,

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: whether it's true, false or football. It doesn't make I

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: like it. And you might get Marcus Grant, what's going on?

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: Oh it's good. Uh, it's weird. We're you know you

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: know this, James. We're doing a Fantasy Live show on

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Saturday instead like Sunday, which has thrown my week completely off. Absolutely,

19
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: I hear that here that I'm dreading it tomorrow. Um tomorrow, Wow,

20
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: that is just it. Okay. Anyways, first of all problems,

21
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm just I'm staggering here. But I had

22
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: the reset. I'd just set a new alarm for like

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: a day that I normally don't have one. It's yeah,

24
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to waking about four thirty am on Saturday.

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: It's good. Um, we got I was gonna call you

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: the West Virginia's fine. But then there was a guy

27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter who said you're from Georgetown, now, which I

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: just I'm like, where did that narrative come from? That's

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: in West Virginia? Oh? Boy, than I assumed. I assumed

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: it was the neighborhood in the d C. We're doing it,

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: We're we're going in pr fantasy. Yes, James co. Yes,

32
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: Georgetown is an unincorporated community in Marshall County, West Virginia,

33
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: United States. Oh, is that what it is? It's located

34
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: on County Route to fifty slash fourteen along the Pennsylvania

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Fork Fish Creek near the Pennsylvania border. I thought he

36
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: was Georgetown is also it is a town in uh,

37
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: what's part of Washington. The neighborhood, and I see, I see.

38
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I thought I thought he was just saying that you

39
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: were a former Hoya, which would just be holly incorrect. Wow,

40
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: NPR Fantasy al Right, here we go. We got a

41
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: big time show in front of us here to day.

42
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,839
Speaker 1: How long I can keep this? I hope not very

43
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: much longer. Uh, the tight end apocalypse is fully upon us.

44
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: We'll give you some tight end sleepers. Uh. Going into

45
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: your championship week, we do not have, as I mentioned,

46
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: franchises fire phowner. I'm very sad. We're gonna do a

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: little game scripting today though. New York Jets at New England?

48
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: How is that game gonna go? There's some points to

49
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: be had there? Where will those fantasy points go? San

50
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Diego at Cleveland, same situation, A lot of fantasy points

51
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: to be had, will be a run heavy approach, will

52
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,839
Speaker 1: be a pass heavy approach to San Diego. Who's gonna

53
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: get in Minnesota? At Green Bay we will talk extensively

54
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: about Taig Montgomery, Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams, how will that

55
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: game script go? And finally San Francisco at l A

56
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: is it return of Todd Gurley? Everyone's been running on

57
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco, but Todd Gurley sucks, Willie can finally get

58
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: off the schnide. Stay tuned, Stay tuned on NPR Fantasy.

59
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: We're of course going to do E D G as

60
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: well every damn game, and we close out as always

61
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: with your round of daily depths. But first we start,

62
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: as always with your top headlines, the camera highlights in

63
00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the world of sport, freaking news. Freak need to follow,

64
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: breaking kids, your wife. Alright, we're starting Atlanta. Julio Jones

65
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: taken off the injury report. He's gonna play Saturday versus Carolina.

66
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: He's missed the last two games with a toe injury. Look,

67
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna play Julio Jones, There's just no question

68
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: about it. But the question to me really becomes, what

69
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: do you do with Peter Gabriel. I mean, the guy

70
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: has been absolutely phenomenal. Six touchdowns in the last seven games.

71
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: How about this? He is the wide receiver three the

72
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: last four weeks, the wide receiver three. He's got more

73
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy points than Antonio Brown. Alex Kalhar will ask you,

74
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: what do you do with Taylor Peter Gabriel. I think

75
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be hard to sit him given his ceiling.

76
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have the space and you can

77
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: play him in your flex, I think it's it's worth

78
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: chasing it there unless you're gonna you're gonna, you know,

79
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: if you're gonna try and put in somebody who's gonna

80
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: give you the safer floor. I'd I'd rather go down

81
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: swinging with a guy like Gabriel. They've been manufacturing touches

82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: for him for weeks in you know, valuable areas, so

83
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: i'd be I'd be comfortable still starting him even if

84
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Julio Jones is there, because then Julio Jones will probably

85
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: draw James Bradberry. I assume, uh does he shadow Harmon

86
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: or not? Really? He kind of stays to his one side,

87
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: doesn't he. Yeah, he's mostly been at left cornerback. Like

88
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't do the NPR thing anymore. I was, I was,

89
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: I could have done it well, you know normally, Oh man,

90
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: he stays on one side, so boy, we can expect

91
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: that to continue. But this game should figure the high scoring,

92
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: high scoring battle, and I'd totally be fine playing Gabriel.

93
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: M J. You're throwing him in the flanks, Yeah, absolutely,

94
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 1: I mean we've seen that with Julio. Without Julio, they're

95
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: still finding ways giving the ball. The crazy thing is

96
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: he's been super efficient with minimal number of touches. It's

97
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: not like that's what worries me though. If he doesn't

98
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: hit the home run, what happens? He gives you nothing? Yeah. Um,

99
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: that's the case with a lot of That's a risk

100
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys. I mean, you know, I know,

101
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna talk about tie ends. I mean

102
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: that's been the case with just about every tight end.

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: That's true. But I mean when we're talking about flex positions,

104
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean there's so many options. Yeah, but I mean

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: this is kind of like what are you waiting? You know,

106
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: what do you have to lose sort of thing besides

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: the championship? Other than that, I bet you, I bet you,

108
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna have this conundrum of do they play Jeremy

109
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: Hill or Taylor Gabriel. I think it just depends on

110
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: what your lineup needs, you know. And you you, guys,

111
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: if you've made it this far in fantasy, you ought

112
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: to be smart enough to figure that out there. You go, alright,

113
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: let's go to Indianapolis, Colt, said coach Chuck Bogano says

114
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: he fully expects Dante Moncrief. He's been dealing with the

115
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. He's gonna play Week sixteen versus the Raiders.

116
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: I think he's got uh super high ceiling. It's supposed

117
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: to be the highest scoring game of the weekend. But

118
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: just those hamstrings are so tricky. Dante Moncrief through his

119
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: short career, has shown himself to be gosh. I hate

120
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: to use that tape, that that label, but he's been

121
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: a bit injury prone, and I just think the ceiling

122
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: is great and the floor is pretty risky too. The

123
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: hamstring can easily be reinjured. But I just don't There's

124
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: just no way you could sit him against the Raiders.

125
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. I think I could could

126
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: tell me why. How is that he's been so touchdown

127
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: dependent the last few weeks. This is gonna be a

128
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: high score and he's yeah, But still you're banking on

129
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: him getting a red zone. Look then, because he's not

130
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: going to score from distance. That's gonna be Hilton or

131
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: door set. And they've got there, They've they've got a

132
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: million and one tight ends and goer. So I feel

133
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: like I don't know that his ceiling is high if

134
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: he gets those red zone scores. But if they're they're

135
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: popping off a long touchdowns to t Y Hilton, He's gonna.

136
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, why why did they have to introduce Eric

137
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Swoop into the Hey, he's a former basketball player. Why

138
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: do they got to do that to us? I mean

139
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: because if we used to play baskets play basketball. I see, okay,

140
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: got it, all right. I actually think the floor is

141
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: better for mont Grief because of that red zone work

142
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: than that he than he really has a ceiling, like

143
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: he hasn't had more than sixty yards since week one.

144
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: But I mean, let's say, let's say he has like

145
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: a sixty yard two touchdown performs that's not that's not

146
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: out of the room. It's not out of there. It's

147
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: not out of the range of outcomes at all, which

148
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: is a great game. Yes, comes range Belo range of

149
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: beutcom All right, there you go in Cincinnati. Dude, your

150
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: NPR thing has got me tripped in right now. I

151
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: know I know you're not, but it's just ready for

152
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to like come back. It's it's some of that. It

153
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: threw off my energy off the top of the show.

154
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: And plus we're in like this half lit podcast studio.

155
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: You came in, turn on the other lights? Where are

156
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: the other lights? They're on that computer over all that

157
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: somebody just hit the fantasy pass are to all of

158
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: them to move and they look at the distance people listening.

159
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: It's legitimately like three feet away from Marcus and Hard

160
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: pass hard path. Oh wow? And Jay Green and Cincinnati

161
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: says he's healthy enough to rock and roll Saturday versus Houston?

162
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Are you rolling him out Championship week? Harmon? What a

163
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: show off? Girl? Hard just gets up comes and the

164
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: other side of the room and we got a lot

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: it's too brighton now it's really not Wait a second,

166
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: actually this is kind of a school lighting. We'll never

167
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: hear the end of this now because he actually walked

168
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: in a different room to turn on the lights. This

169
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: is good. This is good radio. I was talking about

170
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the lightings. Uh. If I have a j Green on

171
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: my team, I'm playing him though. I mean just I

172
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: think that Dalton has been so much more effective as

173
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: a deep passer. I mean, statistically he has, uh, he

174
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: has a hundred quarterback rating on passes the travel twenty

175
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: or more yards in the air with a J. Green,

176
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: and he has a seventy seven point four quarterback rating

177
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: without a J. Green on those sort of deep passes.

178
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: So I think that the upside for Green is still there.

179
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: Are by the way, those are amazingly high numbers. I know,

180
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting. I mean, he's he's been very effective because

181
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: Green is really good at football. It's also that little

182
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: thing of Tyler Eifert not being available this week. Yeah

183
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: see that that is because I was actually gonna write

184
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: up Andy Dalton has a play for the DFS Round

185
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: up today, But then like Efford being out kind of

186
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: gave me a little bit of pause, and I he

187
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: decided to gang him out of there. But I mean

188
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me at all if he has a

189
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: pretty good game. I just if AJ Green's out there,

190
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna play him. But I think he's riskier

191
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: than Julio Jones is. Oh my gosh, A J. Green

192
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: scares the but Jesus aut of me, mostly because he

193
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: needs what thirty six yards to get to one k

194
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: uh and it would be six consecutive seasons to start

195
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: his career with a thousand yards, tying Randy Moss. I

196
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: just want if he gets it in the first half.

197
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: I honestly wonder what the motivations to come out in

198
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: the second half. I don't know, So that does he

199
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: shut down week seventeen then two. I would I would

200
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: be not that surprised if he said, you know what,

201
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: I can't go. That is really weird though, to just

202
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: come out and get thirty six yards and big piece.

203
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: I know Steve Smith joked about or I don't know,

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, who knows if he's joking or not. Apparently

205
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: didn't because he didn't do it. But he said, like,

206
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: I only need you know, three something yards to get

207
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: a thousand for a career, and like I might just

208
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: do that and then ride off, and obviously he didn't

209
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: do that. Like, I don't know, I think that players,

210
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play, they're gonna play, all right, there

211
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: you go. Adrian Peterson ruled out this week against Green Bay.

212
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: He didn't practice at all. He rushed six times for

213
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: twenty two darts versus Indianapolis. He's already been ruled out. Yeah,

214
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: I know, Adrian Peterson, he's gone get out of here.

215
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: So just in case you were, you know, freaking out

216
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: over what to do about it, Your decision has been

217
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: made for you. I mean, it's amazing how many people

218
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: were trusting Adrian Peterson. I mean, how many people do

219
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: you know that really were though. Well, I'll tell you what.

220
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,239
Speaker 1: I'm in a twelve team league, very competitive, very competitive,

221
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: and the guy that I was going up against had

222
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson in his starting lineup as an RB two.

223
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, don't do that against me. But on

224
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: the one hand, I get it because I think all

225
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: the people, the very small handful of people that were

226
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of advocating for it. The argument, which I think

227
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: is faulty, but the argument is, well, he's Adrian Peterson,

228
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: and look at what he's done other times he's come

229
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: back from injury and he just looked, you know, and

230
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: like it had nothing to do with what we had

231
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: seen from him on the field, and everything to do

232
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: with the name on the back of his jersey. And

233
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: so I think that has what has led to some

234
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: confusion and some frustration for a lot of people is well,

235
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: what happens if I sit him and he has one

236
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: of those crazy Adrian Peterson games. But folks, it's been

237
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: a while since we've seen him have one of those

238
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: crazy Adrian Peterson games. Oh, it's been ridiculous. I will

239
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: say this, I I I think that Jerick McKinnon is

240
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: actually a playable asset in PPR formats. He's been double

241
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: digits last four weeks. He's been averaging fourteen points per

242
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: game over the those last four weeks in PPR formats.

243
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: Standard formats not so much. That was a surprising nugget. James.

244
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: He had that news and notes too, and I went

245
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: to double check it because I was like, I was like, what,

246
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: it's no way I know, but he has He stuck

247
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: it in there with his handful of catches and like,

248
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: we had nine catches on nine targets last week and

249
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: all of it came at the end of the game.

250
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: Put well, that should that should be the script that

251
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: they're in this week when they get smoked by Green Day.

252
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, you know what we're gonna talk about this game.

253
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: We'll get to it. I don't know, man, I don't know.

254
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: Matt Forte he's got a knee and shoulder issue. He

255
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: didn't practice this week. He's a game time decision against

256
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: New England on the road. MG. What you're doing about

257
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: blow Powell. I'm worried about blow what well, mostly because

258
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a game where the Pats

259
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: run off and hide real quick, and then suddenly it's

260
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty slam it fifty times he slung a week. Yeah,

261
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm concerned about, Like I'm in a

262
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: situation where I think I might have to play him

263
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm looking at in one of my championships

264
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: a you know, balal Pow vs him high tower situations.

265
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: I will probably have to play him for days. Um,

266
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know. I worry that did May

267
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: just like starts slaying it too, like Robby Anderson and

268
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: Sharone Peak and guys down the field like that. I

269
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: think he's got a great floor. I do too. I'm like,

270
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm on the opposite side. I'm like upset if I

271
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: didn't get him in other leagues and can't play him

272
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 1: in championships. I'm like, man, I wish I would have

273
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: won ball power this week. I mean, on the road

274
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: against New England, he's gonna get carries to start the game,

275
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: and he's gonna get catches if they get behind, he's

276
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna get touches. Like he's a guy. I

277
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: think he's had like thirty thirty and a half touches

278
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Yeah, as basically the featured back.

279
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: He's had over thirty touches the last two weeks. Even

280
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: if the game script goes next if which I guess

281
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: we're teasing to get to that again, Powell's power is

282
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: a huge play this week for me. All Right, there

283
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: you go. Uh. Greg Olsen elbow injury, didn't practice Thursday,

284
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: but he is expected to play. Ron Rivera said he's

285
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: very confident. He said, quote no doubt that Greg Olson

286
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: will play. Melvin Gordon Hipney did not practice this week.

287
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: He was ruled out. He was ruled out for the

288
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: game Saturday against Cleveland. All right, let's talk about the

289
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: tight end apocalypse. Ladarius Green concussion. He looks extremely unlikely

290
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: to play. Jesse James told reporters he's actually expecting himself.

291
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Jesse James start, Jordan read shoulder, didn't practice all week.

292
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: He sounds doubtful. Tyler Eiffort back, He's been ruled out

293
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: with a back injury going against the Texans. The people

294
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: out there, Ladarius Green, Jordan read, Tyler Eiffort all out,

295
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's great. And then you look at you

296
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: look at the waiver wire. It's like, oh, Gronk is

297
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: on the i R UM, Jordan Cameron is on the

298
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: i R. Gary Barnage hasn't done anything. I mean, tight

299
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: end is an absolute disaster. I want you guys to

300
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: give the people some hope. Give the people a tight

301
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: end sleeper you feel not great about, because let's be honest,

302
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: there's no great plays out there. But somebody that you

303
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: feel okay with, maybe that you said okay either has

304
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: a high high ceiling or maybe he's got a high floor.

305
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: Who do you, guys like? We'll start with you, MG.

306
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at c. J. Pagotowitz. Okay. Um, now that

307
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: he's back, you know, it looks like he's gonna be

308
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: back out of the concussion protocol. She play. Um. The

309
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: Bengals have done a fairly good job of locking down

310
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: receivers on the outside, but the middle of the field

311
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: has kind of been open. And now especially I think

312
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: what Vonta is perfect I believe is out this week.

313
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: So um, maybe that helps a lot. Uh. You know,

314
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of rapport he has with

315
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: Tom Savage, but I still think he sees a lot

316
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: of targets in the middle of the field, and for

317
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: whatever reason, you know, Fedorwitz doesn't play, then I think

318
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin slides right into that same spot. All right,

319
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: how about it, Matt Harmon, can I ask you a

320
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: question Marcus before to me about about c J. The

321
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: one to worry I have with him is like Savage

322
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: did say I'm gonna go out and rip it, which

323
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: is like the exact opposite of yeah. And what Brockswaer

324
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: did was he just stuck in that like kind of

325
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: middle square of the field, didn't go outside and go

326
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: outside the numbers. Does that worry you at all? With

327
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: with Vago to Wits, I mean a little bit. But

328
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: I do think at some point Tom Savage wants this

329
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: job too, and so like if ripping it doesn't work

330
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: and he starts throwing picks, maybe he reins it in

331
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: at least a little bit. Like I do think he's

332
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: going to try to get it to new because he's

333
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: not dumb um smart move. But he also wants to

334
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: move the ball down the field and generate points, and

335
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: some of that means making some safe throws occasionally. Braxton

336
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Miller is an interesting play this week to what Yeah,

337
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: I know that's weird. Back up, it came in a

338
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: little late today. Where you are you drunk? Let me

339
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: let me, let me, let me, let me, let me

340
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: stop you. Let me let me tell you. One reason

341
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: why he's not a good play this week is out.

342
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: He's on injured dessert. Oh just so I was just

343
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: I was like, this seems wrong. I was going with

344
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: the I'm going with the backup quarterback, backup wide receiver. No.

345
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: I just, I just I knew that there was a

346
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: converted Ohio State quarterback that was put on I R

347
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: and I had double time. So off Oh boy, uh,

348
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Matt Harmony, there's give me a tight of sleeper. There's

349
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: a couple. There's a few that I actually really like

350
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: if you're desperate, the number one being Jared Cook. Uh.

351
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: Though I don't think he's like available, but I would

352
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: say that he'd if he is. I think that he's

353
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 1: been kind of like an X factor for this offense.

354
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been much better with him on the

355
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: field than they have been with him off the field. Gosh,

356
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: he's had one good game all said. He had five

357
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: yards last week. So I mean I think that there's

358
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: a chance that he gets I mean, he's higher on

359
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: the packing order than Randall Cobb. Uh. The Fightings have

360
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: allowed a league low catch rate. Too. Wide receivers when

361
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: lined up out wide, force a lot of passing into

362
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. They've given up much more.

363
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: We'll probably talk about this later, but they've given up

364
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: a lot more deep passes. UH. With Harrison Smith being

365
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 1: out if he does not play again, I think that

366
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: makes cook good play. The other guy is Jack. Do

367
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: your boy, Jack, doil and Rainbow let's go. He played

368
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: the most snaps of all those mysterious tight ends last week. Um,

369
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: he's primarily a pass catcher. Dwayne Allen's the blocker. And

370
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that this is a good matchup, you know,

371
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: decent matchup with the with the Raiders in a high

372
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: scoring game. I like it. Kid. I'm gonna go with

373
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: Charles Clay. I mentioned him on the Monday Pod, but

374
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: I just picked him up in one league. I like that.

375
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: I love the same stat I said of his receiving

376
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: yards and pent of his touchdowns have come in the

377
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: last two weeks he's played games. The Dolphins are tied

378
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: for the fifth most receiver. You shook your head at

379
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: And when I had him in waiver wire last week

380
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: is a streaming option and guess what he hit? I know, well,

381
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: you know it. I just I just can't, dude, he's

382
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: on that zach Ertz plan where he doesn't show up

383
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: till like late the year. I hear that. But Watkins

384
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: is less. Yeah, that's just play the Browns the last

385
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: week and he still scored a touchdown and had a

386
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: bunch of yards. Well that's what I'm saying. But he

387
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: doesn't play the Browns this week. I think, let me

388
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: check my sources. Great at defending the tight end position. No, no,

389
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: I agree with that, but I guess I'll throw this

390
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: out there. Mobile quarterbacks generally don't tend to use their

391
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: tight ends. He just doesn't have a ton of past

392
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: attempts in general this year. But hey, I'm look, we're

393
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: talking about dumpster diet diving like tight end picks, and

394
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: you're all like, oh God, I can't believe you picked

395
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: Charles play. Guess what. I found him at the bottom

396
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: of the dumpster and I'm just picked up the dirty

397
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: diaper that's the dumpster. That's a good point, Jesse James

398
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: is not a bad play. I think Vernon Davis if

399
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: he's available out there is not a bad play as well. Um,

400
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the deepest of deep tight end plays,

401
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: but this this dude Jeff Hireman in Denver. This is

402
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: a deep play, but I like it, um A J Derky. Okay,

403
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: So they started Virgil Green in Denver out with the concussion,

404
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: the backup h J. Derby out with the concussion. Literally,

405
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: they have one tight end left on the roster and

406
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: that is this dude, Jeff Hireman. Um. He's a third

407
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: round pick out of Ohio State, so he actually does

408
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: have some legit credentials. He made a couple of nice

409
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: plays in Week fifteen, I think two catches for forty yards.

410
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: But uh but and again, his athletic profile isn't great.

411
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: But whenever, he's a third round pick out of Ohio State.

412
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a big guy. Kind of said some

413
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: nice things about him this offseason too, So last year

414
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: you didn't hear about him. He's a second year player.

415
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: You didn't hear about him last year because I think

416
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: he tore up his knee and missed the entire season,

417
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: his entire rookie campaign. So this is basically his first

418
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: year and now we're starting to hear about him, obviously

419
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: super late in the season. The Denver Broncos. I know

420
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: that the offense is is very concentrated to the two

421
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers there, but whatever scraps are left over seemingly

422
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: are going to the tight end. They throw on average

423
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: of the last four weeks six point to five targets

424
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: to the tight end position, not necessarily to Jeff Hireman,

425
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: but to all of their tight ends combined. To have

426
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: seen you know, uh, six targets over the last four weeks,

427
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: there's only one. There's only one tied and left. I

428
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, like, like I said, he's a

429
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: super super deep play and I I know for sure

430
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: if he catches a Rando touchdown, he's definitely gonna be

431
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,159
Speaker 1: on on it. That helps no one. That's fine, But again,

432
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, six the volumes there and there's nobody else

433
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: left in Denver. So whatever I believe it or not,

434
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: I swear, I swear I am rolling him out championship

435
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: week in my twelve team league. I swear that is

436
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: honestly in championship week in my fourteen team league, because

437
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: I had Laddie Green and he's out so bad and Honestly,

438
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: I think I'm playing Clay over Fleaner two because to

439
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: hell with Fleaner. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.

440
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: I'm Fleaner's on my waiver wire. But I'm like, you

441
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: know what if I get one point for Hireman and

442
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: two points from Fleaner, whatever, I at least I can

443
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: like look at Highman say hey, look, you know what

444
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: I know deep and you know what I'm saying. I heah,

445
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: I feel you. Seriously, let's do a little game scripting.

446
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: Shall we predict the game script in Jets Patriots? Predict

447
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: the game script? Man Harman, I mean you would think

448
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: it will be a negative game script for the New

449
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: York Jets. That's very positive one for the Patriots. I

450
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: mean I think that you what you would hope is

451
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: that they get up really quickly by the passing game.

452
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: And I mean New York has been generous to basically

453
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: everybody in the passing game. So I think you roll

454
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 1: out Brady. I think you roll out Julian Edelman. But

455
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the problem with Edelman is like he's been getting a

456
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: ton of targets and really not doing like barely performing. Yeah,

457
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: like at expectation level for what you like. He's not

458
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: doing anything extra. You know, he has seventeen eleven, twelve,

459
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: fifteen and twelve targets the last five weeks. He's gone

460
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards once he's been I was going

461
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: to say his floor, though, I think he's had seventy

462
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: plus yards in like seven rights he has he has,

463
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: But I'm just like, if you're in a standard league,

464
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: like it's like, what is the ceiling here? Even even

465
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: in a really good spot. I love Malcolm Mitchell in

466
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: this spot obviously is uh. I believe his red zone

467
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: targets the last four weeks leads to the or is

468
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: tied for second, or is one of the top two

469
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Uh. Chris Hogan, I think you can

470
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: throw out even as like a let me stay with

471
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 1: you on Malcolm Mitchell. I love Malcolm Mitchell as well,

472
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: but I think the people who are listening to this podcast,

473
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: the people who have Malcolm Mitchell. He got one target,

474
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: last one. Yeah, it was the Bronco. I get it.

475
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 1: I get it. So I'm just I'm throwing it out

476
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: there make the people feel who have Malcolm Mitchell. Maybe

477
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: they're on the fence about playing Malcolm Mitchell, they should

478
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: feel a little bit better about maybe throwing him out

479
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: there here. I'm really jumping super quick on your red

480
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: zone thing. I tweeted it so yesterday. Uh, since week eleven,

481
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: Malcolm Mitchell's tied for the league lead among wide receivers

482
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: and red zone targets ten with Crabtree and touchdowns three

483
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: with multiple wide receivers. So like he is their favorite

484
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: option in that space. Can I also say this that's

485
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: have been beaten repeatedly deep down field, but everyone who

486
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: was their deep down field guy. That's what I'm saying.

487
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: I think I think he's a good ceiling play. Like you,

488
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: You're gonna either get a two or or like a

489
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: fifteen out of him, and I think that's fine. Like

490
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: I I don't hate Chris Hogan at all. Malcolm Mitchell

491
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: played of the offensive plays last week. He's always on

492
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: the field. I think he's been basically like we know

493
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: the deal with the New England Patriots, Like they attack

494
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: your weaknesses and you saw them do that with Dion

495
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Lewis running up the gut Garrett Blunt in the red zone. Uh,

496
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: a lot of passes, you know, to Julian Edelman, and

497
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: even martellis bend a little bit over the middle of

498
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: the field. You kind of knew that Hogan and Mitchell

499
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: were not going to be factors going in, so the

500
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: one target really was that was kind of to be expected.

501
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, before that he's been on fire basically, right,

502
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, playing really well. Uh he had He has

503
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: over eight yards and or a touchdown in his outside

504
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: of that Denver game, in every game going into that

505
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: one since since the forty Niners game in week eleven.

506
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: So I think Mitchell's a great play here, um in

507
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: terms of game script. What that does, though, you would

508
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,239
Speaker 1: expect this to be even though the Jets, you know,

509
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: on paper have a really good run defense, you still

510
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: expect this to be a big Leagarrett Blunt game. But

511
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: I also like Dion Lewis too. He said a career

512
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: high in touches last week Lebroncos. So I think you

513
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: have Lewis in championship week, you should probably try to

514
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: get both those guys in your lineup. And then for

515
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: the Jets, Marcus said, it it's gonna be a lot

516
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: of passing, you know, playing catch up, you know. Air

517
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: quotes there for those that are listening, But you know,

518
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: Petty will sling the ball a lot, and I kind

519
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: of like Brandon Marshall a little bit in this game

520
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: last week he was on a snap count limit. I

521
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: just don't know. I've kind of given up on I

522
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: have to. I have to. I probably wouldn't have the

523
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: way that Jets have given up on themselves as well. Yeah. Well,

524
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: and you know they deserve to be given up on.

525
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: They deserve to give up on themselves. However, I think

526
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: we kind of swung opportunity, saw opportunities swing back his way.

527
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: You know, we knew that Bryce Petty had been his

528
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: had been uh what's his name's boy? I mean Abby

529
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: Anderson had been Bryce Petty's boy going into that game.

530
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you know, he saw

531
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: he did catch a long touchdown, but Brandon Marshall led

532
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: the team with forty five point eight percent of Petty's

533
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: intended air yards. So I think we kind of saw

534
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: things go back his way. I I don't think I

535
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: would play Marshall in like a season long championship, but

536
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: if you're playing DFS or whatever, I don't think he's

537
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 1: a bad contrarian. MG. Is there a Patriot you don't like?

538
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Because of game script um, not because I mean because

539
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: everyone figures the Patriots is just gonna destroy this team. Yeah,

540
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess there's one you worry about, like

541
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: a James Wider, Dion Lewis. Um, those are the guys

542
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: that concern you a little bit. So Like for those guys,

543
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: if if the game goes the way we expected to,

544
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: you need them to get their points in early because

545
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: otherwise late it's going to be a lot of the

546
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt whisky from Wisconsin. San Diego at Cleveland run heavy,

547
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: pass heavy. What are we expecting from San Diego? Dude,

548
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is. Like, I've been trying

549
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: to figure this out all week. I mean, their running

550
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: game was Ronnie Hillman is probably gonna ut more work.

551
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm worried about Kenneth Farrow because he was

552
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: more efficient on her touch basis, and I think Mike

553
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: McCoy even said, like, oh, we're really impressed with Ronnie's,

554
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, ability to come right in and produce so

555
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: hands off the backfield. You would like to think that

556
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers would attack them through the air, since that's

557
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: where everybody attacked attacks Cleveland, But you know, Tyroll Williams

558
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: had a concussion and now he's got some other injury too.

559
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: Doesn't he a labor him? I think that's hating. Yeah,

560
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: he was originally hurt with that. Travis Benjamin's banged up,

561
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: so like I would like to think it goes more

562
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: through the air. And if I'm trusting anybody in this

563
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: matchup on the San Diego side, it's gonna be like

564
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: Dontrell Inman Hunter. Henry is a streamer and you're rolling

565
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers out confidently semi, he hasn't been great recently.

566
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: So even though it's even though it's a tremendous matchup,

567
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: it still has me concerned. Like, but but if this

568
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: is the stupid game that Cleveland wins, which is what

569
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: I've been saying for weeks, that this is going to

570
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: be the game that they win, but doesn't matter. No,

571
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: But I mean, like, well, like this is what happened

572
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: when even when we had a good matchup against I mean,

573
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: they're not winning. They're not winning fifteen six. You don't

574
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: know when they were what I'm saying, when they were

575
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: down and out against Carolina, Rivers started getting behind and

576
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: was throwing terrible passes and like so if he if

577
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: he throws a bad pick six or two in this one,

578
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's just like Yolo bawling

579
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: it up like they they the Cleveland guys can play

580
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: center field out there pick it off. So I'm not

581
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: super confident playing Rivers. I'm playing them in a cup

582
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: in a league. So all right, I mean I will

583
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: say that Sammy Watkins. Last week, you know, the Buffalo

584
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: run game obviously was very strong. They went with a

585
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: run heavy you could do whatever. Yeah, I was gonna say.

586
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: They give up a ton of rushing yards, but they

587
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: also give up a league high thirty one passing yards.

588
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: So typically our thirty one passing touchdowns. So what teams

589
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: have typically been doing is run, run, run, attacking them

590
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: through the air and then close it out on the ground.

591
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: So and I think I think that could if San

592
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: Diego is gonna win the game, I think that's how

593
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: they could do it, is they go up. And also

594
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: Travis Benji in revenge game, Oh mine god, he caught

595
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: a long touchdown last week. And also you know, yeah,

596
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: he's it's happening. He is playing behind Williams, who hasn't

597
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: been very effective lately because he's not healthy. What's his

598
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: name in Mian is Uh. He's getting a lot of targets,

599
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: but he's kind of a low ceiling player. Benjamin caught

600
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: a long touchdown average eighteen are yards per target last week.

601
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if he takes Oh my god, I

602
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: like it. Minnesota at Green Bay, whiz kid, give me

603
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 1: a game script. I mean, Zimmer has this you want.

604
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: I want to think that as much as the Vikings

605
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: defense struggled last week, that that's going to carry over

606
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: to this week on the road. The team is a

607
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: lot of troubles. Blah blah blah. Zimmer has had Roger's

608
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: number throughout his entire career, and Harrison Smith is coming

609
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: back because Harmon astutely pointed out in his next Gen

610
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: stats right up, is he definitely coming back? Because I

611
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: mean he's questionable, and like, what's the stat Like eight

612
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: percent of players who have been questionable have played like

613
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: it's something some obscenely high numbers. So that's concerning. But

614
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: Rogers at home, Packers offense is clicking Rogers in December.

615
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: Whatever trends or even just the way they're playing right now.

616
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: I think they're playing too well. I think they they

617
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: should get up ahead, and if they do it, it it

618
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: turns into a bad situation for the Vikings. I mean,

619
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: I think my thing with the Vikings, the only thing

620
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: you really fear is their defense. But they can't they

621
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: can't get off the field. I mean, I shouldn't say

622
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 1: the offense. Their offense can't stay on the that's the

623
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: better way, It's probably the better way to put it.

624
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: So like the defense ends of getting worn out because

625
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: their offense just can't keep possession. But watch the Vikings

626
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: these last couple of weeks, Like if you're watching them

627
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: on game Pass, the condensed version, you blink and you'll

628
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: miss them because like they're they're three and out, super quick,

629
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: throwing short of the sticks, punt defensive right back out there.

630
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 1: And it was amazing to go back and watch that game.

631
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: But as an aside, and on like third and two,

632
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: watching Sam Bradford throw like barely to the sticks on

633
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: third and two, you've got you have receivers needed to

634
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: get yards after they catch to make sure they pick

635
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: up a first. You almost can't really blame him you there,

636
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 1: because he doesn't have a lot of time that offensive

637
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: line has put multiple people on I r they can't

638
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: block anybody the Colts. The Colts got five sacks last week.

639
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: Five was their best pass is their best pass rush.

640
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,719
Speaker 1: He's not even that good. Had a hundred yards. So

641
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: I think with with Montgomery's emergence, I mean, everything should

642
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: be lining up for the Packers to have a great game.

643
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: But I would I mean, nothing would surprise me. All right,

644
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: we'll stay with Time Montgomery, who you brought up? Mike

645
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy said. He told the media that that the future

646
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: first round fantasy draft pick Time could be used in

647
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: expanded role this week. You buying that, bro? How can

648
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: how can you expand more than what he did last week?

649
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's true. You like him this

650
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: week against Minnesota? Hell yeah, no, like no question. Just

651
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: like Frank Gordon put a hundred on him last week.

652
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: I know he had like twenty six carries, but still

653
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: he put a hundred on him. I think that you

654
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: know he's gonna play play back. Actually out that it

655
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: happened right before we came up here. I tweeted out

656
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: he was officially ruled out by the team. So it's

657
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: like any concerns you had about Montgomery this week gone fire.

658
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: So like unless ce Mike is going to go Hall

659
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: of Fame se Mike on like, I think that I

660
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: think that Montgomery is a great play. I will say

661
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: this as as we've been sitting here going through this podcast,

662
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: you guys have convinced me to move Kennanth Thorough out

663
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: of my lineup and put Time Montgomery in. Oh yeah,

664
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: here we go. I don't I don't hate Kenneth Faraoh

665
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: as much as others seemed to this week. But I think,

666
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: uh that's definitely the correct I don't. I don't hate him.

667
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: I just I'm concerned that he's gonna split like four

668
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: carries and half. Ronnie Hillman, Uh what about the receivers?

669
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 1: What do you got the pass catching wise? Who are

670
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: you playing in this game? Uh? Certainly not Randall Cobb. Well,

671
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: yeah he's not, I said, I meant people that have

672
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: not retired. What he happened to random? I think it

673
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: was his ankle injury and they've just kind of de

674
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: emphasized him a little bit. He's still out there running

675
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: routes and stuff. He does not look the same, and

676
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: I don't think Rogers is targeting him because he's not

677
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: he had exactly as many catches as you did last week. James, Um,

678
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm obviously starting Geordy. Yeah, you simply cannot. And uh,

679
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: I know you made this good point and just that

680
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: they've shut that the Vikings have shut down outside receivers

681
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: pretty well. But if we're looking at trends, Davante Adams

682
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: has kind of been another week proposition every other week

683
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: and has never had back to back games this year

684
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: with fewer than eight Fantasy points. Interesting that that sounds

685
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: like that sounds like a trend. That is that it

686
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: sounds like a trend that is bound to reverse course.

687
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: It's infallible. Yeah, because that makes a lot of sense.

688
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean the Vikings have a lot, like

689
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 1: I said, a forty nine point seven percent catch right

690
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: to outside wide receivers. You know, if Harrison Smith comes back,

691
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: that's a big difference. Again, you talked about next Gen

692
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: Stats column that I wrote. Uh, they give up a

693
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: twenty four point seven passer rating on passes, the travel

694
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: twenty yards are more in the air with Harrison Smith

695
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: playing without him hundred thirty point eight. You know, it's

696
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: interesting to me when you get to this point in

697
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: the season. Motivation becomes huge, motivation becomes gigantic. Minnesota basically

698
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: out of everything. They have nothing really to play for,

699
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: but except for the fact that they're playing green Bay

700
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, everyone in the NFL likes to

701
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: show up against green Bay. And whether or not they

702
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: win or lose, you know, at least in the first half,

703
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a good effort. It's that unlikable owner.

704
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: They have all the people, so I think the motivation

705
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: will be there from Minnesota. I'm I know that they

706
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: got gash last week against Indianaple. It's a it's a

707
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,359
Speaker 1: backup against the wall like bounce back kind of game.

708
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm That's what I'm worried about. Nothing would

709
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: surprise me. That's what I'm worried about. I don't see

710
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: a Mike Zimmer team being one that's gonna like quit either.

711
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: And they also, I think they still really believe in

712
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: the future of this team, like they you know, this

713
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: this sucks like having to play fantasy analysts slash pretending

714
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: to be a fantasy analyst and also pretending to be

715
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: a psychologist at this point in the year. But at

716
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: the same time, I think that this is a team

717
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: that believes in the future, They believe in the nucleus

718
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,399
Speaker 1: that they have there. You know, that's all really well

719
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: and good. They're still not good on offense, no suck.

720
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, honestly, honestly, I'm it's more about

721
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,840
Speaker 1: the Minnesota defense for me, because I don't think I

722
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: don't think anybody's invested in the Minnesota offense, but so

723
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: many people are invested in the Green Bay offense. It's

724
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: more of like setting expectations. What are the expectations for

725
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Nelson, What are the expectations for Aaron Rodgers, What

726
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: are the expectations for Time Montgomery? And I think that

727
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: to me, that's way more interesting than talking about Minnesota's

728
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: offense because they're trash. They got embarrassed on defense last

729
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: week against the Colts. I mean they got shellac, That's

730
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And Dorset score fifth yard touchcome. That's embarrassing.

731
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: And I don't think. I don't think we're gonna see

732
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: that kind of performance again. I I just don't think. So.

733
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I could be wrong. San Francisco at

734
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: l A mg MI, guy Marks, give me a game script,

735
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: tell me what Todd Gurley is gonna do. Um, I

736
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: think I think we'll be okay. I think we're gonna

737
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: be okay, your folks, we actually have more than rushing years.

738
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean, will he be a top ten running back

739
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: this week? In in the case of stoppable force against

740
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: movable object? Um, I think the force actually kind of

741
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: kind of push us forward a little bit. Um. It's

742
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be a fun game to watch, Like, don't

743
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: don't watch this for like enjoyment's sake. I mean, you know,

744
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: have some egg nog and enjoy some time with the fam,

745
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe you can tune into this game

746
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. But um it, you know, there's no

747
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: real telling of how this game is going to go

748
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: because both of these teams are so bad. I mean,

749
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: the one thing I do look at is I think,

750
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 1: I think this is a game where you can have

751
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 1: some faith in the running back. So I mean Todd

752
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: Gurley on one side, Carlos Hide on the other side.

753
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: I Mean, the one thing we've learned about Carlos Hide

754
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: this year is that he's really been immune to game

755
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: script for the most part, regardless of what the situation is.

756
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: The Niners have given him the football either as a

757
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: receiver or a runner. So he's gonna be fine there. Um.

758
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, girly, I think you can trust against a

759
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: run defense that is historically bad this year, So you know,

760
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't think you're gonna get

761
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: one of those crazy hundred and fifty yards to touchdown

762
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: games out of him. But you know, if you can

763
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: get close to a hundred and of touch look, man,

764
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: that's that's great from Todd Gurley considering what he's given

765
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: you so far this year's I think you're fine there. Um,

766
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: i'd stay away from Jared Goff. I mean, I think

767
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: he could have a decent game, but it's just, you know,

768
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: it's not a risk you're taking this. I mean may

769
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: Championship weekend. Maybe maybe maybe it's a DFS stack if

770
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,280
Speaker 1: you're feeling a little frisky or something like that. Alright,

771
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: so then I forget that. That's this is a big

772
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: question for me, Like how but we would never put

773
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: any you know, financials on this because we're not crooks.

774
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: But what do you guys think, like the total points

775
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: scored will be in this game? It's supposed to be

776
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: extremely low school. Yeah, I mean I could as a

777
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: matter of fact, it's supposed to be the low scoring game.

778
00:37:53,200 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 1: I was gonna put it like low four these but man,

779
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: it's uh yeah, it's anticipated to be lower scoring the forty. Yeah,

780
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: that's that's my thing, like, because if you're going to

781
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: actually want to play anybody in this game, that's bad

782
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: to good news. Folks, If you were in Los Angeles

783
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: this weekend and you're looking for something to do on

784
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 1: the Saturday afternoon, stop on buy the coliseum. Sure, sure,

785
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: they'd be glad to have you come on it. How

786
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: much do you think you could buy it? Like three bucks? Look,

787
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: I have it, I have it on very good authority

788
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: that the tickets for the Rams Falcons games a couple

789
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: of weeks ago we could be had in the parking

790
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: lot for ten dollars. Ten dollars, this is gonna be

791
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: worth now, mind you, Parking in the parking lot of

792
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: the coliseum was sixty dollars. So you know, why would

793
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: parking be sixty bucks? It was nobody earlier in the season.

794
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: No, no no, I know, but that's when people were coming

795
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: to games. Now nobody's coming to gain mind you. There

796
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: is also, you know, a public transportation system that drops

797
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: you off literally on the Doorstep stadium. That's what I'm saying.

798
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: Like Subhub tickets are thirty bucks right now, that's stupid

799
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: because you could go, you could go to the stadium.

800
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 1: You can get them for less than thirty. I could

801
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: go get you know, in l A two beers for

802
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: thirty dollars. Have more fun than that game. You can

803
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: go to Silver Lake and get one cocktail. Guys, all

804
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: football games are awesome. We love the NFL. I love

805
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 1: the NFL. Let's move on. I'm gonna watch. I'm gonna

806
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: watch the game. Just they're not gonna go to it.

807
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: I love the NFL. This game is trash. This game

808
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. Alright, let's do it. But it's

809
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: franchise back there, changed the subject. E d G. Every

810
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: damn game we're gonna start. It's remember guys, all most

811
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: of the games are happening Saturday. Yes, set your life

812
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: if you listen to the podcast, set your lineup right now.

813
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: Most of the games start on Saturday. We're gonna start

814
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: in Carolina, NFC South the A t L taken on Carolina,

815
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, what do you got favorite team? It's your

816
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: favorite team? The Falcons. Uh. Well, speaking of the lowest

817
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: scoring game of the week. This is supposed to be

818
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: one of the higher scoring games of the week. Uh.

819
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: For let's start on the Falcon side. I mean, I

820
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: think you're playing Matt Ryan obviously, Like the Falcons have

821
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: scored more points than anybody. I think we already kind

822
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: of covered Julio Jones and everybody. Well, the question there

823
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: is like the backfield. Uh, Carolina's run defense has been

824
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 1: really good. I don't I don't know if I'm trusting

825
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman unless you just need a straight ceiling shot.

826
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: But DeVonta Freeman has been so good, He's has passing

827
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: game work pretty much locked down that I think I'm

828
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: fine with that. So I think you kind of know

829
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 1: what the situation there is with Atlanta. And then on

830
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: Carolina's side, Cam Newton played really well Monday night. This

831
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: talk you talk about, you know, motivation here in December,

832
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: this looked like a team that does not want to

833
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 1: lay down that I think they know that they let

834
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: an opportunity slip away from them this season that bothers them.

835
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 1: YadA YadA. Five losses by three points or a fewer. Yeah,

836
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's Panthers football. That is Panther that's

837
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: been Panthers for five years. Two years ago when they

838
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: when they went like seven eight and one or whatever,

839
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: or maybe it was the year before that, they had

840
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: like the highest number of losses within seven points in

841
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: the league. That's what was so surprising about their season

842
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: last year as a you know, as an observer of

843
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: this team, uh is that like they would blow the

844
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: doors off of teams last year and you never saw

845
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: that in like the Ron rivera Cam Newton era. Everything

846
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: that was so heartbreaking about them. Originally it was like

847
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: they'd have a lead, they'd lose it, and then they'd

848
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: lose the game. The record, by my account, four losses

849
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: by three points or fewer. That's crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah.

850
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: So because those all four of those games because easily

851
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: go the other way. Coin flip, coin flip. Yeah. And

852
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: so this game, I think, like, I think this will

853
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: be a pretty competitive game. I think they'll trade blows

854
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: back and forth. Both these defenses have holes in which

855
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: you can pick on. Uh Lanta's run defense, they've allowed

856
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: the fourth fewest rushing yards to to to the regards

857
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: to running backs over the last month, but at the

858
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: same time. You gotta look, they were like blowing again,

859
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: blowing the doors off Los Angeles, blowing the doors off

860
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: San Francisco, so I think that they will be This

861
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: is a pretty good spot for Jonathan Stewart, even though

862
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: he's a gross player to use in fantasy. He did

863
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: get his first hunter yard rushing game last week, so

864
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm okay with playing him, but it is still,

865
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 1: of course risky. You know, at least it's at home

866
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: and Greg Olson good matchup for him, YadA YadA. The receivers,

867
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: you're not playing Kelvin Benjamin at this point. He's been bad.

868
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: He's been hurt or he's well, he's not been hurt,

869
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,439
Speaker 1: but he's been like he's been in effective. They've also

870
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: been like kind of they've regretted using him so much

871
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: to start the year because they think they pushed to

872
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: him too much coming back the A C. L. Whatever

873
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: you're not at point is you're not using them in fantasy.

874
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: Uh ted Gin though I think he has had pretty

875
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: consistent usage. He's really only had one slow game the

876
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: last month, so I think that you can play him

877
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: with pretty good confidence against the secondary that can get

878
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: beat all right. I like it next game on the

879
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: dock at Miami at Buffalo. MG, what he got. Well,

880
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Jay Giant first and foremost, and I'm

881
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm worried about him just because he hasn't really given

882
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: us much. It feels like those those three big games

883
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: he had in the middle of season, it feels like

884
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: it could have been lashed. But he had two hundred

885
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: yards against the Bells last time they play. Yeah, all

886
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: of that is true, and that was last time. Uh

887
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: that is not this time. Look, I think he can

888
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: be okay. When I say okay, I mean you're talking

889
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 1: about you know, eighty to ninety yards maybe hopefully a touchdown.

890
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: But part of it has been that offensive line has

891
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: just not been completely healthy since he went on that

892
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: big run in the middle of the season. Um, you're

893
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: not starting Matt More. We just forget about that, I don't.

894
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing about the receivers that I love.

895
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Jarvis Landry has been underwhelming all year long. Uh.

896
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: Davante Parker has again been underwhelming most of the year.

897
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills is pretty much a ceiling play. You're hoping

898
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: he hits a couple of long passes along long catching runs,

899
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: gets in the end zone. So there's too much inconsistency

900
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: on that side for me to really feel comfortable about. Um.

901
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: On the Buffalo side, I like Tyrode this week, I think,

902
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: especially if he can get out of the pocket a

903
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: little bit. Look, the Dolphins gave up a hundred and

904
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: thirteen rushing yards to Colin Kaepernick a few weeks ago.

905
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that Tyrode gets quite that much, but

906
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: I think it underscores the point that mobile quarterbacks can

907
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: give this defense problems. So if Tyrod can get out

908
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: and run, that should be some potential there. Um. You know,

909
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins again another kind of ceiling play. But just

910
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: because he can never be a hundred percent healthy, you

911
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: just always are worried about him. Uh. You know, Charles

912
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: Clay gal Hard mentioned his potential sleeper this week at

913
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: the tight end position, and then of course Shady you're

914
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 1: starting shady and you're not worried about that. Washington at

915
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: shy Town, Alex Galhard, what do you got? Uh, let's

916
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: see here. I think you can play everybody moving out now.

917
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. Jordan Howard's in a good spot this week.

918
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,280
Speaker 1: He you know, he's had his ninety nine plus scrimmage

919
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: yards in seven straight weeks in Washington. I think right

920
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: now is the twenty second rank run defense, So feel

921
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 1: free to fire him up. Alshon Jeffrey versus Josh Norman,

922
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: you scarred. Do we know if Norman's even gonna shadow

923
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: him or not. He'll cover him enough, he'll probably hit

924
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: him a fair amount, So I don't know. I think

925
00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: they started to get him more involved last week, and

926
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 1: I you know, it's I'd be worth it would be okay,

927
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,759
Speaker 1: Chase throwing him out there. Meredith should avoid him because

928
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: he plays mostly in the slot these days. I think

929
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: that was one of your next gen stats things too.

930
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: Know that was on Fantasy Hipsters. Oh, it's on Fantasy

931
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: Hipsters right. His targets the last four games with Barkley

932
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: as a starter have come from lone's lined up in

933
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: this slot. There we go, um uh. Rob Kelly worries

934
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: me slightly because he's only had like average, He's average

935
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: like forty seven yards rushing the last four games after

936
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: starting a hundred seven. However, I think this is a

937
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,760
Speaker 1: good matchup and game script for him to be started,

938
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: So I like it. I wouldn't like, you know, be

939
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: an immediate plug in play. But I think there's a

940
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: lot of things working in his favor this week, and

941
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:58,240
Speaker 1: he's the preferred goal lineback other one Jamison Crowder Jordan

942
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: Reid probably out. Crowder has been quiet the last few weeks, also,

943
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: only averaging about forty is receiving yards. But this feels

944
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,719
Speaker 1: like the type of game where Crowder could get loose

945
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, especially with read out,

946
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: and it's being old and put together a nice game. Uh,

947
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,919
Speaker 1: and yeah, I'm streaming Matt Barkley in two fantasy championships,

948
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: so you're not the fantasy gods smile upon like it.

949
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,720
Speaker 1: I like it At future Jaguars starting quarterback Matt Barkley

950
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: once twelve and there are not many quarterback options. I

951
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 1: love it. Matt Barkley, especially in games where they've fallen behind,

952
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 1: has the offense's average like over four hundred yards, totally yards,

953
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: and I love it. Four games where he's been starting

954
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 1: and they've been behind, so outside of the snow game,

955
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: he's averaged forty three pass attempts per games. Right, So

956
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, why not? Maybe this is the week, Maybe

957
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 1: this is the week it all comes together. I love it.

958
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: This is championship, were rolling out have three championships. This

959
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: is either he I mean, you know you could say

960
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: week he it all comes together, but I mean it's

961
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: been coming together. Just been like fantasy wise, well, I

962
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: mean he's been putting up fantasy numbers two that this

963
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: could also be the week. Allow us to take a

964
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: moment to reiterate that this is part of the reason.

965
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: You just don't play week seventeen because you think it's

966
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: Do you think it's bad? Now? Next week is going

967
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:17,399
Speaker 1: to be awful if you if you, if you play

968
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: Week seventeen, just unsubscribed from the podcast. Please don't do that.

969
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 1: Please don't take it back. Don't do it. No, Instead

Speaker 1: would pay seventeen? Are you telling people with you? I'm sorry,

972
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: I went rogue. Okay, alright, that's not what they would

973
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: do on the NPR Fantasy Podcast. By right, bro, I'm sorry.

974
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: Please don't have subscriams now, now let me read you

975
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: an ad. Okay, let's just kidding. NPR. Please hire me

976
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: see Jacksonville, go NPR. Oh this is my game? Yeah?

977
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: Well all right, well in that case, let's talk about this.

978
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: I think, uh, so you know the Tennessee side. I

979
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 1: think you pretty much know what's what I think is

980
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: a good bounce back spot for Mariotta. Departed friend Franchise

981
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 1: wrote about why Mariotta will bounce back in his Aaron

982
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 1: Ground analysis, So read that out read that at NFL

983
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: dot com slash Franchise. I agree with him there the question.

984
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's really emerged as a corner that we need

985
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: to worry about. Where he's gonna line up, and he's

986
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: all over the field. He's incredible, such a good player.

987
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: I think he sees a lot of Richard Matthews. But

988
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's really enough for me to

989
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: consider benching Matthews if he's a guy that you've been

990
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: relying on because he's been the number one receiver, he's

991
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: been so consistent. But I think it's enough to give

992
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 1: you pause. This is I think it's a good eruption

993
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 1: spot for Delaney Walker because I think this game is

994
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: gonna be I think this game is gonna be a shootout,

995
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 1: and that brings me to the gidness possible issues. I

996
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 1: just because Dennessee stefense sucks. Okay, they're bad They've been

997
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 1: targeted a hundred and one times by wide receivers the

998
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: last four weeks and that includes their bye week. So

999
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: in three games they've given a hund targets to wide receivers.

1000
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's a lot. I you know, I

1001
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: don't know if you can possibly trust Allen Robinson in

1002
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 1: the season long league, but I do think that this

1003
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: is a this is the game, this could possibly be

1004
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, I wanted to get behind that,

1005
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: Like I really looked at that really hard this week,

1006
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: and I just couldn't. I don't know. Yeah, and I'm

1007
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: not going to make an impassioned case for it, but

1008
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: just don't be surprised if he pops up for a

1009
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: pretty good game. Um. You know the question and again

1010
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: you come back to motivation. What are the Jags gonna

1011
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 1: look like this week? You know, because are they going

1012
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: to like respond to their coach being fired? A lot

1013
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 1: of the players said that they felt this was kind

1014
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 1: of bs the way it was handled and like he

1015
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: had to ride the flight the flight home, So does

1016
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,800
Speaker 1: that mean they're gonna, you know, quit on the Jags?

1017
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: Are they gonna you know come back for their fire?

1018
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: Which I always think is funny, like when in the

1019
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Rams said that too. So take that for word. We're

1020
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: gonna do this for Fisher. The other the four teen

1021
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 1: games before that, we didn't do it for anybody, but

1022
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 1: but there's time We're doing it for Fish. You know.

1023
00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: I think that this is an interesting game on Jacksonville's side,

1024
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, so, so take that for what you will. Um.

1025
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: And then the running game situation for Tennessee is interesting

1026
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: too because uh, DeMarco Murray did not get a carry

1027
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: in the red zone. He did see one target, but

1028
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry might be the preferred scoring back. He had

1029
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: two red zone touchdowns five red zone carry So you know,

1030
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,239
Speaker 1: take that for what it will. Take that for what

1031
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: you will. I like it in Annapolis at Oakland expected

1032
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: to be a straight shootout. Baby, MG, what you get?

1033
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: They start? Everybody start airbody, UM, Andrew Luck, you're starting,

1034
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton Robart, Seth Roberts, you might be able

1035
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: to start, and honestly you really might be able to

1036
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: start in Um, but can I jump in super quick

1037
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 1: on Seth Roberts, harmon you back red deep dive? You

1038
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: know what trend identified in there? Seth Roberts has not

1039
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: had more than three straight games without a touchdown this season,

1040
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: He's had three straight games of the touchdown now, so

1041
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 1: trends this week he should catch one out. Just lock

1042
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: it in some of the friends you're coming up with.

1043
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I mean like Luck Hilton Gore for sure.

1044
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: You know, I know we talked about mon Creef a

1045
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, the tight ends spin the wheel

1046
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: and if you find the right one, good on you.

1047
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: But one of those guys I think is gonna score

1048
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: touchdown this week. It's just a matter of figuring out

1049
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, whether it's Doyle or or Dwyne

1050
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,799
Speaker 1: Allen the Raiders side, I mean, Derek Carr. I think

1051
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: this is one of his bounce back games because he

1052
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: has not been particularly great the last few weeks. Yeah,

1053
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: the hand uh you know you got a Marik Cooper

1054
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: and and Michael Kradrie, which still Mary Cooper continuing to

1055
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 1: prove to the world that you don't need red zone

1056
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,360
Speaker 1: targets to be a wide receiver one in fantasy apparently,

1057
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 1: well not anymore, okay, because he's he's slipped out of

1058
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: I mean he's I think he's in he's outside the

1059
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 1: top ten. He's wide receiver eleven. But he's been I mean,

1060
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: for for fantasy, he's been worthless. He's kind of vanished.

1061
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: I mean he's complete, Like he's had the one game

1062
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 1: with ten targets kans Kansas City, but didn't do anything.

1063
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: His last since the game against Houston where he had

1064
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: fifty seven yards of the touchdown, he just twenty two yards,

1065
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,280
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards, twenty nine yards and twenty eight yards

1066
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 1: without and only scored in the Buffalo game. So I mean,

1067
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: but I don't think this is a week where you

1068
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 1: could see him. You can see him bounce back, UM,

1069
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: roll with the Tavious Murray. Don't worry about Jalen Richard.

1070
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's been getting some touches in there,

1071
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 1: but he's not seeing anything near the goal line. I mean,

1072
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: he's been kind of a nice change of pace back

1073
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: to get Murray a breather, but he's not doing enough

1074
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 1: to warrant getting a spot in your lineup. Um. Yeah,

1075
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean you got to what I would also say

1076
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a streaming defense. Um, the Raiders

1077
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 1: are not in horrible play, No, they really They've had it.

1078
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: Look since Week nine, they've had at least seven fantasy points.

1079
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 1: Every single week. They've had two or more sacks in

1080
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: just about every game. They've had two or more turnovers

1081
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: in just about every game. The thing about the Raiders is,

1082
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,359
Speaker 1: and I've I've I've said this with like Taylor on

1083
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: the Game Day Blitz Couch Show. Every week. They will

1084
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: give up yards and they'll give up some points, but

1085
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: they are a great situational defense when they need plays

1086
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter. That's

1087
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 1: when you see Khalil Mack or Bruce Irvan getting sacked.

1088
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 1: That's when you see them figuring out a way to

1089
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: pressure the quarterback and get turnovers, and so those things

1090
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: for Fantasy I actually start to add up. They get

1091
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: those turnovers, they get those sacks, and it means something.

1092
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 1: So if you're looking for a streaming play, um, you know,

1093
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,080
Speaker 1: there may be some other ones that charges are a

1094
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 1: good option for you, but don't sleep on the Raiders

1095
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: this week. And points allowed really don't. It doesn't really matters.

1096
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: But I mean, let's let's you give up a gazillion points.

1097
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what you give up forty five points,

1098
00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 1: but as long as you get like five sacks on

1099
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck maybe get a pick. You're fine Tampa Bay

1100
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: at New Orleans, gayle Hana? What you got? What do

1101
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: I have? Uh? For starters? I am extremely worried about

1102
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,439
Speaker 1: Doug Martin in this game because the we've talked about

1103
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: a little bit on here, and I grabbed some numbers

1104
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: yesterday put them out on the old Twitter dot com.

1105
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: Did you look at him? First? I looked at the

1106
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: numbers good, and then I looked at him as I

1107
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,799
Speaker 1: typed him into a tweet and perfect. I put them

1108
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: out so others could look at them. Oh wow, that

1109
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 1: is jen. I mean, it's just the season of giving guys.

1110
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 1: So I wanted wanted to be out there. Since Week nine,

1111
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:54,400
Speaker 1: when Sheldon Rankin's returned, the Saints have allowed just seventy

1112
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: four point one four rushing yards per game and three

1113
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry. That's a seven game span

1114
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: that they've held this up. They have been shutting down

1115
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: opposing rushing attacks and facegood running backs too, and Doug

1116
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: Martin since he's returned in week ten, his average just

1117
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: two point eight yards per carry. Charles Sims came in

1118
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: stole a bunch of the work last week, especially the

1119
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: passing down work he saw of the targets last week,

1120
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: So like I tried to not start Doug Martin if

1121
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 1: you can help it this week. I know he's got

1122
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: even against New Orleans, always got some and stuff. But um,

1123
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: I think Cameron Brad's in play though because of his

1124
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: red zone opportunities. He just ran through how awful tight

1125
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: end is. You can't turn away from a guy like

1126
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: breat getting as much work there Evans. He's got a

1127
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: bounce back at some point. Guys, right right? I hope

1128
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: so I need k It's in the Superdome. So you

1129
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: would think that the Saints are going to build a

1130
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: league and a lead in champ Tampa Bay will have

1131
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: to get off the game script that they've been on

1132
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: the last month, where they've been playing really slow. We

1133
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: talked about that, I think on Monday's podcast where their

1134
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 1: eighteenth in plays run since we leven I believe, which

1135
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: coincides right away with his you know, slump slump uh.

1136
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, man, who do you

1137
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: like for New Orleans? What do you like? I prefer it?

1138
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:18,239
Speaker 1: Who is it? I prefer Michael Thomas for Thomas this week?

1139
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: Um I saw in the next Young Stats preview packet.

1140
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: They were talking about Brent Brent Grimes. He's been exceptional

1141
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: of late, probably being on Cooks more often than not,

1142
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,839
Speaker 1: so this feels like it could be a Cook's down game,

1143
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: especially after his explosion. You're not benching Cooks though, No,

1144
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he cooks in any league,

1145
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 1: so I'm not. I'm not doing anything with them, But

1146
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: I don't think you could sit him when he's home.

1147
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 1: I didn't want any part of that roller coaster in

1148
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,319
Speaker 1: the preseason, so I didn't draft him. Anyone like it.

1149
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: I like it, and then I guess Ingram out of

1150
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: the backfield, I think like he still saw more touches

1151
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 1: last week, and like Squeaky Wheel gets the grease theory,

1152
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: this week, he on the sidelines. They get it. But

1153
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: you know, the Saints are pretty petty. What if they

1154
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: just you know, that's so I'm gonna make Yeah, they

1155
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,000
Speaker 1: yanked him for a full game because of a fumble.

1156
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: That's oh my god, don't remind me. But yeah, so

1157
00:56:06,040 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know, don't, don't, don't play Kobe Fleaner,

1158
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: just don't do it to yourself. I think I think

1159
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 1: Breeze is fine, though, breeze is gonna be okay this week.

1160
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 1: It is amazing how much Kobe Fleaner has played and

1161
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: how little it's resulted in not much, which really super

1162
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: quick aside Kobe Fleet, like everybody was talking about, you know,

1163
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: is it's an opportunity or is it talent or blah

1164
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:28,919
Speaker 1: blah blah. I think it's got to be a murder

1165
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 1: of both. Because Kobe Fleaner went to the Saints and

1166
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: a couple of people like I was one of the

1167
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: ones throwing cold water on it. I warmed up a

1168
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: little bit to it. But like you said, dude, his

1169
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 1: head legitimately every opportunity in an offense that was producing

1170
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: top flight tight ends and the only reason he's a

1171
00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 1: top ten tight ends because the position is a disaster.

1172
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: He has been awful this year. He's the only healthy one.

1173
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: I mean that all you have to do to be

1174
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: a top ten tight end and fantasy this year is

1175
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: be healthy. Yeah seriously two years ago too. Like that's

1176
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: the way it goes. You know, it's as well as

1177
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 1: we're ending the year here, I'm going to start looking

1178
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: towards next year and stuff. It's a reminder that like

1179
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: you gotta take a little bit of column and a

1180
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: little bit of colin B. Players are not uh, they're

1181
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 1: not just like binary codes like you know, replace one

1182
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: with other now, you know, like it doesn't work like that.

1183
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: They're not just you know, mixed. Sometimes it does work

1184
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: like that, other times it doesn't. You know that. That's

1185
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: why this that's why this stuff is you know, hard

1186
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: to pin down. Also, new playbooks right play such a

1187
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: huge role. Yeah, I saw that last year with Jimmy Graham.

1188
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: He couldn't figure it out. That's your he figured it out,

1189
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's why people were so like, well,

1190
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 1: just you know Saints tight ends man like. Look, Ben

1191
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,120
Speaker 1: Watson never did anything in his career, but then he

1192
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: popped up in New Orleans randomly and had a great year.

1193
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 1: But Ben Watson had also been there multiple years in

1194
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: the system as a blocking tight end, helping out Jimmy Graham.

1195
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: But then when he had to step up, he knew it.

1196
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: And then you know tight ends, Uh, Kobe Fleaner there

1197
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: comes in, does nothing, and I would not be surprised

1198
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: next year he actually does do something that. Uh. Let

1199
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: me say this about mark Ingram. He has been in

1200
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 1: a full on time share. Of course, you would say,

1201
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: some say some men, it's true. Listen, he played eighteen

1202
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: snaps last week. In week fourteen, Tim High High Tower

1203
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,360
Speaker 1: played nineteen arts. Cadet played eighteen as well. So and uh,

1204
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: I think now it makes five of the last six weeks.

1205
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: I think he's been played. He's played of the snaps

1206
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 1: or less. So he's in a full on time shore there.

1207
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I like mark Ingram there. I think

1208
00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: you could. I mean, obviously, I think you're gonna think

1209
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 1: this is a mark Ingram week. Yeah, I think sneaking suspicion.

1210
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: The bottom line is you're gonna play him because he's

1211
00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: been pretty got a hunch, you know, he's been relatively productive.

1212
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: You're gonna play him. I'm just saying I think the

1213
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: ceiling for him is relatively limited. Arizona at Seattle Harmon

1214
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: what he got? Yeah, this is an interesting game. Is

1215
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 1: it gonna be gross? Is it gonna be high scoring?

1216
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: What's it gonna be? I don't know if Arizona gets

1217
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: much done. I mean they can't pass protect, but David

1218
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 1: Johnson gets all the points, right, Yeah, of course. And

1219
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: David Johnson, you know, he's he wants to be one

1220
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: of the players that gets a thousand rushing yards in

1221
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: a thousand receiving yards. He's eight hundred receiving yards right now.

1222
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: So and Bruce arians has been pretty open about like, listen,

1223
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 1: want to get some records, come in here and get

1224
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: some records. We'll get you. You know, we'll do something.

1225
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: So I think anything he's also chasing Arizona's all their

1226
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: season touched season high touchdown record as well. So I

1227
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: think DJ even though you know it's theoretically tough spot

1228
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,680
Speaker 1: in Seattle, obviously, I think you can still set normal expectations.

1229
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any numbers regarding Seattle minus Earl Thomas.

1230
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean, they've looked very human, they have. They have

1231
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 1: been beaten deep. The same thing. It's the same sort

1232
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 1: of thing with the Harrison Smith trend that we just

1233
00:59:24,600 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 1: talked about. Like I think when teams lose that like

1234
00:59:27,680 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: field general free safety, like guys don't get lined up

1235
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: in the right positions like they're supposed because that's what

1236
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: those guys are doing there in the back end. I

1237
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: think that's a big deal with with Earl Thomas. So,

1238
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think that that they can certainly get

1239
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: beat deep, and that's the that is the interesting question

1240
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: because there's like no way I want to play Larry

1241
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald in this spot. He's slowing down physically, his role

1242
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: is decreasing. He has, I think seen double digit targets

1243
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 1: just once over the last month. So that's not something

1244
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: that you're really chasing at this point. J. J. Nelson

1245
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: J J. Nelson or John Brown. You know, both of

1246
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 1: those guys had to increase or playing time. Michael Floyd

1247
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: now in New England hell of a punishment for getting

1248
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: a d U. I um, so, I think both those

1249
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: guys have potential to get long touchdowns, but you know,

1250
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: do you really want to trust that? I mean, John

1251
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: Brown still played on the offensive plays. J. Nelson was

1252
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: about seventy. So if we think about Arizona's offense, though

1253
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 1: they love to attack the deep scene, they do, and

1254
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: that is, you know, theoretically where you want to attack.

1255
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: That is one of the cornerstones of their offense is

1256
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 1: attacking that deep seam. Now it hasn't worked for them

1257
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: this year, but they still go to it quite a bit.

1258
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: Seattle is not the same defense without Earl Thomas, especially

1259
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: in that part of the field. I mean, I don't know,

1260
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Carson Palmer actually has a

1261
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: nice day. Yeah, yeah, because I could see I could

1262
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: see him throwing a second look, I came back when

1263
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I heard Carson Palmer has a nice day. I'm just

1264
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: saying I wouldn't be surprised. I could because, well, I

1265
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: see what you're saying that I could see him throwing

1266
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: a long touchdown to either Nelson or Brown. But I

1267
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 1: could also see him throwing three picks and getting sacked

1268
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: six times. There. They can't like, they can't protect. I

1269
01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: think Carson Palmer is not as cooked as other people

1270
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 1: do because I think he can still throw, but he

1271
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,959
Speaker 1: can't move and they can't protect. So I think that's

1272
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: rough for Arizona's offense. On Seattle side, I think it

1273
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: is a good spot for pretty much everybody outside of

1274
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: maybe Jimmy Graham Thomas. Sure. I mean he's at home

1275
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: that they should be favored. I think at that point,

1276
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: like he's had one good game, literally one good game

1277
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: that's came back. But I think it was in similar

1278
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: conditions to this where they got ahead of Carolina, they

1279
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: blew the doors off him, and he was able to

1280
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: get going at home. So I think it's tough to

1281
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 1: trust Thomas Rawls, but I think that this could be

1282
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: a good spot for him. And then in the passing game,

1283
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: they just put Tyron Matthew on I R who wasn't

1284
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: playing that well or was very healthy anyway. So I

1285
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 1: think that's good for Doug Baldwin. Uh. The tight end position,

1286
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:02,640
Speaker 1: it's basically done nothing average less than thirty yards per

1287
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: game against Arizona. They have good safeties, and I think

1288
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: what Brandon Cooks did too Arizona last week, UH is

1289
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: good news for Tyler Lockett Brand. The Beat reporters in

1290
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Seattle were saying coming into the game last week before

1291
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Thursday night, we obviously we're not paying attention because we

1292
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: were at Star wars Um, but they were going back

1293
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: and look at the reports. They were saying that he

1294
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: was gonna play ahead of Jermaine Curse. He was warming

1295
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: up ahead of him as the number two receivers, and

1296
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: we saw that come to fruition as about his best

1297
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:34,919
Speaker 1: game of his career. Uh, we know that. I don't

1298
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get shadowed by Peterson if they didn't

1299
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: shadow Brandon Cooks, the speed receiver with Peterson, who's also

1300
01:02:39,720 --> 01:02:42,480
Speaker 1: I think dealing with an injury too. They're certainly not

1301
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: going to do that with lock It. Uh. And you

1302
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: know we saw them blow coverage after coverage last week

1303
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: against Cooks. I think this could be a good game

1304
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: for Lockett, who averaged to four point four yards per

1305
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: yards of separation on his targets last week. So I

1306
01:02:55,880 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: think we see good things from him. Love it Cincinnati

1307
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 1: at Houston? Am what he got? Um, there's nothing about

1308
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: There's nothing on the Cincinnati side that really excites me

1309
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: a whole lot. Um. I mean, maybe you take a

1310
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: chance on Andy Dalton. You know, I wouldn't have a

1311
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: problem playing a j Green, as we talked about a

1312
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. Uh. You know, Jeremy Hill looks like

1313
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: he's going to play this week after missing practice earlier

1314
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: in the week. But literally, he's had a good game

1315
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 1: in the last two months. Um. He keeps finding the

1316
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: end zone though, which is what keeps him fantasy relevant. Um,

1317
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: hey man, but he's not playing well. He just keeps

1318
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:31,919
Speaker 1: getting in the end zone and makes no one's making

1319
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: that argument. But there's nothing there's nothing about the Cincinnati

1320
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: side that excites me a whole lot. Um. On the

1321
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Houston side, I mean, I'm curious to see what Tom

1322
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: Savage is going to do with a week of preparation

1323
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: under his belt. Um, you know, I know everybody's super

1324
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: excited about what it potentially means for new Compkins because

1325
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: he has a quarterback who can actually throw the football

1326
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,120
Speaker 1: to him and not just in his general area code.

1327
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: But um, the matchup is not great. So I think

1328
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: it's it's some then to kind of temper your expectations

1329
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 1: for even even last week he had seventeen targets, fifteen

1330
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: from Savage eighty seven yards. I mean that that's not great.

1331
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: That that's what I think is good about this. Like

1332
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that Hopkins is about to suddenly

1333
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 1: have the ceiling that he had last year, but I

1334
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: think he actually has a floor again. Yeah, So I

1335
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: mean that's something to keep an eye on there. Um elsewhere,

1336
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, don't worry about Lamar Miller. You're starting him.

1337
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: Um you know, I know he's kind of been banged

1338
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: up and they've been holding him out of practice as

1339
01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,040
Speaker 1: a precaution, but he will get plenty of opportunities, so

1340
01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: you can you can start. You know, you can start

1341
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. And as I mentioned Fedora Goat or Ryan Griffin,

1342
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: depending on which of the tight ends is starting there,

1343
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 1: they are kind of the same person. Um So I

1344
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 1: think that's it. Otherwise there's not much I think fantasy wise.

1345
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: It is gonna get you fired up here. Two games

1346
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: on a Sunday, Baltimore at Pittsburgh. It's at Pittsburgh, gyal har,

1347
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: what do you see? Uh, this is a good game

1348
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers passing attack. Jimmy Smith

1349
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 1: is out this week. They've helps him out and it's

1350
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: been some pretty big Uh. You know, we always talked

1351
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: about Ben's home road splits or whatever, but uh, the

1352
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 1: Ravens have some pretty ghastly splits with him without Jimmy

1353
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith this year, I had tweeted and this is

1354
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: just f p A, but it's one indicator. And then

1355
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: our friend Graham Barfield came in with some more. But

1356
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 1: with Jimmy Smith in the lineup, Baltimore allow us thirteen

1357
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: point nine one fantasy points per game. That's over ten

1358
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: games without nineteen points per game. And then Graham also

1359
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: had to been looking at this and the Ravens allow

1360
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: hundred ninety passing yards per game with Smith and healthy,

1361
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: and when he's missed the game or left early, they've

1362
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: allowed three d three point four passing yards per game,

1363
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: So that is a sizeable jump for that passing attack.

1364
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: I think you still start Bell. You don't worry about

1365
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens good run defense. I mean, uh, he's he's

1366
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: let me on Bell, So you're you're fine there Ravens wise,

1367
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I still have issues with this

1368
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: passing game because you never know who's getting playing in

1369
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: a Ravens uniform. Maybe maybe Terence West and Kenneth Dixon

1370
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: just because running backs are like like Terence West took

1371
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: the took the backfield back over last week after h

1372
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,479
Speaker 1: Dixon missed that pass pick up end, but Dixon still

1373
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: got like if they get down or they're chasing points,

1374
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: we know Dixon can get a bunch of catches and stuff.

1375
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: So you know how many catches he had last week?

1376
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: He had one? I think, right, I think he had zero? Well,

1377
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: he but this backfield has been up and down either way,

1378
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,240
Speaker 1: So I feel better about West. He's got the goal

1379
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: line upside. But I mean, honestly, has anybody trust would

1380
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: anybody trust anybody in that passing attack. No Smith, No,

1381
01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: he's been up and down. Maybe maybe Mike Wallace revenge game.

1382
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: I trust Mike Walace, but he got his revenge last time.

1383
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: He wants more revenge. Yeah, so Pittsburgh feel a lot

1384
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: better about it. Um Baltimore too many question marks? Yeah,

1385
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: it's it's those af C North games though, Man, I

1386
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: don't know. They always end up seeing seeming a lot

1387
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 1: closer than uh then you would anticipate we'll see Denver

1388
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: a Casey harmon what he got. Yeah, so this game

1389
01:06:57,880 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: is interesting for Kansas City. Mean, I think you you

1390
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of know what the deal is. Travis Kelsey had

1391
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: a great game against Denver, and tight ends that like

1392
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: move tight ends that line up in the slot or

1393
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: olt wide have pretty much given Denver trouble all year.

1394
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: So I think Kelsey is a top two tight end

1395
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, which you know? The franchise made the

1396
01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 1: case in our hipster's article that tyrety Hill is an

1397
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: overrated play this week. I kind of agree with him.

1398
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I have a hard time imagining Denver is gonna let

1399
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: that guy beat them twice this year, and he only

1400
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: touched the ball at one time last week. He granted

1401
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 1: he did take a sixty eight yards and a touchdown.

1402
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 1: But of these small like high ceiling, low floor guys

1403
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: like lock It, Gabriel, and Hill, I would rank them

1404
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: in that order, Hill being the third preference. They're the

1405
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: guy have the least amount of confidence in, So I

1406
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm desperate to play him. And then

1407
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 1: you know, Spencer where I think you you play him

1408
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: even though the run game has been bad in Denver

1409
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: unless you have better options. So that's kind of that's

1410
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: it for Casey basically, and then for Denver. You know,

1411
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: we saw Emmanuel Sanders be one of those receivers that

1412
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 1: ripped up the Chiefs at the left wide receiver position.

1413
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 1: They moved him right there to to attack Philip Gaines

1414
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: last week, who gave over two hundred yards in coverage.

1415
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 1: The problem is Gains is hurt and they have some

1416
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: guy named Terrence Mitchell playing it left or right cornerback

1417
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,679
Speaker 1: right now, and he's played well. He's only allowed uh

1418
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: seven catches for fifty three yards on eighteen targets and

1419
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:24,240
Speaker 1: replace of Gains. But you know, still somebody named Terrence Mitchell,

1420
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,719
Speaker 1: I think you're starting the Denver receivers, uh, Tomarius Thomas

1421
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: and Emmanuel Sanders and that's basically all you want. There

1422
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fantasy points to be had

1423
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: in this one. Really, I just have this weird feeling

1424
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:36,599
Speaker 1: about that, Like, you know, it'll be a close game,

1425
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: they'll be back and forth, but there won't be any there.

1426
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 1: There won't just be any players that have here, isn't

1427
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Isn't that what we saw on the second half of

1428
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,160
Speaker 1: their first meeting? Yeah? See? And I think I think

1429
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:46,719
Speaker 1: that you know, typically, you know, statistically, people have done

1430
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: work on this, like those second divisional games are typically

1431
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:51,960
Speaker 1: lower scoring anyways, and I think this will be a

1432
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: perfect example of that. Bit. There was more offensive firepower

1433
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: in that first one that I think people expected, and

1434
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: I think in the first half was gross as hell,

1435
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 1: and in the second half just because ever sitting and

1436
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: went berserk. Right, it's crazy. Let's go to Monday night

1437
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:08,719
Speaker 1: Detroit at Dallas, ah Man. There are so many fantasy

1438
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: assets in this game, and I don't know what the

1439
01:09:11,360 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 1: hell is going to happen? MG, can you clarify? No,

1440
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: but I'll try, because Dallas clenched up. I count like

1441
01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,360
Speaker 1: three fantasy assets and all wearing a star on their helmets.

1442
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: Pretty much Golden Tate is a guy. I mean, like

1443
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't. I don't trust Matt Stafford.

1444
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 1: Golden Tate should be okay. Um, somebody asked me, like,

1445
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, should they start ank On Boulder Marvin Jones,

1446
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, if you're picking anything us too,

1447
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 1: it's Bolden all the way. Like I have way more

1448
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 1: faith in ank On Bolden than I do and Marvin

1449
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: Jones at this point stay away completely from any of

1450
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: the Lions running Um, nobody really knows what he's been

1451
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 1: missing the games, but then he like he's practiced, and

1452
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: then he missed the game last week. Know, so we

1453
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: don't really know. It doesn't matter. Detroit's not very open

1454
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: about it. I don't I don't want any part of

1455
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: theoretic this week. I don't want to any part of

1456
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 1: any Lions running back this week. Um, let's go to

1457
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 1: the other side. Dallas. There's the thing. Don't worry about

1458
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: the Cowboys sitting guys, at least not this week. Really,

1459
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: we'll think about it. So they're playing week sixteen, they

1460
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: have a game Week seventeen, they have a buy in

1461
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: the first round of the playoffs. They're not gonna start

1462
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: sitting guys right now. I mean just it's it's just

1463
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 1: I can't imagine they're gonna want these guys getting that

1464
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,400
Speaker 1: much rest heading, especially with young players, with guys like

1465
01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:30,519
Speaker 1: Zeke and Dak, You're gonna want them to stay out there,

1466
01:10:30,520 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 1: to stay in a rhythm, to stay comfortable. And yeah,

1467
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: I just can't see them sitting guys or limiting their

1468
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 1: touches this week. Maybe next week we can talk about

1469
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: that a little bit, um, but I just don't think

1470
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen this week. So, you know, role with Zeke,

1471
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: I think you're fine there. Um, I mean I think

1472
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 1: Des it's hard. It's just hard to sit Dez because

1473
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 1: of who he is. I actually would stay away from Doc.

1474
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't know that I that I would want to

1475
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: trust that situation. Um. I mean, first off, he hasn't

1476
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,920
Speaker 1: been particularly great for the last three to four weeks.

1477
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Um and Detroit, these teams are are are are a

1478
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: lot like each other in the sense that they both

1479
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 1: want to play keep away from the opposing offenses. This

1480
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: this game might actually be finished in like two hours

1481
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 1: because they're just gonna you know, between that was running

1482
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: the football and Detroit throwing these like short, high percentage passes.

1483
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: The clock could just keep running and they could be

1484
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 1: in and out of here in like, you know, a

1485
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: couple of hours and plane. Um. So you know, I said,

1486
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 1: I think the guys that you would normally start for Dallas,

1487
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: I think you're starting anyway. But yeah, I don't know.

1488
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing about it that Again, it screams out

1489
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: to me like this is gonna be a high scoring affair.

1490
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 1: All Right, daily taps and get out, let's do it.

1491
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:53,880
Speaker 1: Des Alright, Daily DAP time. How about I start us

1492
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: off this time? I wanted to Daily DAP the Danger

1493
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Zone League. I'm in the finals there. I just I

1494
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: went bizar work in this league. I don't even know

1495
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: how I went about doing it. I finished what they did,

1496
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: not even a humble brag, just straight bragg. Twelve and

1497
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: one in this league. And I've rumbled through the playoffs

1498
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,840
Speaker 1: as well. I'm in the finals. I'm taking a taking

1499
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: on a guy who went ten and three, Carl Vin Uh.

1500
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: And he is the guy whose son wrote me a letter,

1501
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: the one who said was a buzzkill. No, that's that's

1502
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:31,360
Speaker 1: another guy. Sorry, that's a mix up. There's so many uh.

01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: condition in Los Angeles. So um, I just happened. It's

1545
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: it literally just it just came across Twitter as we

1546
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,040
Speaker 1: were doing this podcast. Um, but is taking unto of

1547
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 1: the end, so screw you. Um but that's too And

1548
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm late. I know, I'm late on this train. But

1549
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:12,560
Speaker 1: I finally started watching Black Mirror the other day. Yes, amazing, outstanding.

1550
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: I've only I'm only a couple of episodes into it,

1551
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: but even just the first one, which was like, oh

1552
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: my good because like the first season is just what

1553
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: two episodes did in first first is three, the second

1554
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: is like four, and the third one was Netflix only

1555
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 1: and it's like six, right, So I mean it's not

1556
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: like you are making a major commitment to it. But um,

1557
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: it's an anthology series all about kind of. It's in

1558
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 1: the near future where basically technology combined with the basis

1559
01:15:38,720 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: of human instincts collide in some really weird stories, just

1560
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: twisted permutations of where technology could lead us and and all.

1561
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: There's always different characters, different realities, different stories. But it's awesome.

1562
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: And so I know, I said, I know, I'm late

1563
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,840

01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,439

1565
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 1: version of Twilight Zone sort of somewhat. There's some elements, okay,

1566

1584
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: who've never been to Los Angeles, there is an in

1585
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 1: and out burger right literally right next to X And

1586
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: it's the place that either basically moss Ley and if

1587
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: you've been if you've been away from and you're coming back,

1588
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 1: like you want to stop there first to get in

1589
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 1: and out Burger, or if you are like you're visiting

1590
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: l A and you're heading back to the airport, like

1591
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: you it is a train wreck of a place, like

1592
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,439
Speaker 1: because you have people ordering food going in and the

1593
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: drive through, or people who are just sitting out in

1594
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:18,600
Speaker 1: front of their waiting for somebody to call them so

1595
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,400
Speaker 1: they can go and pick them up there. So yeah,

1596
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: there's two reasons you don't want to stop at that

1597
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: in and out one because of that reason that people

1598
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: use it as like a shuttle spot, and too because

1599
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: it's in and out and it's overrated. You could just

1600
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:32,960
Speaker 1: you could just not cut his Mike, What in the

1601
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:38,679
Speaker 1: hell overrated? It's overrated, dude, It's just another fast food

1602
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:41,799
Speaker 1: place that is Mike, what I'm just saying that literally

1603
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: makes no sense. No, it makes complete sense. You You're

1604
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: just you're you're not only going against the grain, you're

1605
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: going against the popular opinion of millions of people. Okay,

1606
01:17:51,200 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 1: well that's fine. Millions of people are wrong. That's like,

1607
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: would that would be that that'd be the first time

1608
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: that millions of people have been wrong. I think I

1609
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: think harmon and the reason the reason I mentioned in

1610
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:02,120
Speaker 1: an out because this was almost said a bad word.

1611
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: This was happening on Twitter this morning too. But I

1612
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 1: think people are misassociating with the fact that so many

1613
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,680
Speaker 1: people love In and Out, like you guys, locals and

1614
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 1: me and adopted Angelino, because they do what they do

1615
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: the best. They make the best fast food Hamburger. They

1616
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: make a fine fast food hand the best, and it's

1617
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 1: super affordable, and it's super affordable, and that's all everybody says.

1618
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: I think people outside of it that hear about In

1619
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: and Out being all the rage they come in, they're like, oh,

1620
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 1: it's just a Hamburger. This place sucks. It doesn't suck.

1621
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,720
Speaker 1: It's not It's like he was saying, if you want

1622
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 1: to kill yourself and eat fast food, then sure you

1623
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,640
Speaker 1: can kill yourself and eat fast food and In and

1624
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Out Burger and it's fine, but it's not like anything

1625
01:18:40,320 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: better than any other fast food place. That's incorrect. I

1626
01:18:43,600 --> 01:18:46,439
Speaker 1: think our friend of a friend of the podcast, Adam

1627
01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 1: Hars said, who are you are? I cut am I

1628
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: talking now, I was just friend. You were yelling, so

1629
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:52,719
Speaker 1: I was turning you down. Friend. Friend of the podcast,

1630
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: Adam has Said, who writes for football Guys, had a

1631
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: great tweet about this subject. He said, he's from Texas.

1632
01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: Go ahead like know if I mean, yeah, if you

1633
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: want to eat at Wendy's, but also love if you

1634
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: love to taste of Wendy's but want to wait three

1635
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 1: hours to get it burgers for you. I'm sure he

1636
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: loves that trash. What a burger? Well, if that is

1637
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 1: just as good as what a burger? It's the same

1638
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: thing because one of them is. One of them is good,

1639
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: and one of them is that not you sheep are

1640
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:25,600
Speaker 1: just lining up. One of those two is good. The

1641
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 1: other one is what a burger? Listen, I'm just telling you.

1642
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 1: In and out I like water burger. I like water burger.

1643
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:34,400
Speaker 1: But you can't even compare these two things, dude. It

1644
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:38,920
Speaker 1: is the same thing. It's fast food that all taste

1645
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 1: the same. It's basically it's like it's Wendy's and in

1646
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:45,640
Speaker 1: and outs the same thing. When you when you go

1647
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:47,760
Speaker 1: to a summer barbecue and you get a burger, do

1648
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 1: you think it's the same thing as a fast food restaurant. Yes,

1649
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 1: oh my god. Okay, then that invalidates your a whole

1650
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: argument that if you think, if you think a burger

1651
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 1: at a barber the same as a fast was confused.

1652
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: I was confused by your question. No stop, could you

1653
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: be confused? I was no, no, no no, that is that

1654
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: I was confused the questions, of course, And just that's

1655
01:20:08,560 --> 01:20:13,160
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. This is, this is b S. This

1656
01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: is b s. MO. I don't know a good burger.

1657
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: I love burgers. Burgers are great. I would take a

1658
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 1: real good burger over any fast food burger any day.

1659
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 1: That's the point. The point is that this is just

1660
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: any other fast food burger. If you lined up, if

1661
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 1: you lined up every fast food burger, I probably couldn't

1662
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 1: even tell you which one was in now because they

1663
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: all tasted damn saying just that that's incorrect and I'm right,

1664
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: you're all wrong, Okay, Alex Gilhart, Okay, I want that's

1665
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: my old farther out of control that I wanted. But

1666
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad it's here for that insanity. I know I

1667
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,840
Speaker 1: said I wanted it to happen. Anyways, my day DAP

1668
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: is going to go to uh, Christmas movies in general.

1669
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: I love Christmas booies. But it's also another part because like,

1670
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: people need to stop putting arbitrary parameters on what is

1671
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:01,479
Speaker 1: and isn't a Christmas movie. I mean, people crap on

1672
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: die Hard saying it's not a Christmas movie. I forget

1673
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: which side of this argument you lie on, Marcus. I

1674
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: think you say it's not it is not a Christmas

1675
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: a movie that takes place around Christmas. It is, Okay,

1676
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:12,519
Speaker 1: is Home Alone a Christmas movie? Yes? Why is it

1677
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie? Because it celebrates the spirit of Christmas

1678
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 1: with a young man. One point is like John McClain

1679
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: goes back to l A for Christmas, where no, no, no no,

1680
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: let me let me get to my point. The mcalister's

1681
01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:32,440
Speaker 1: leave Kevin home alone because they're traveling for what Christmas.

1682
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: Now people are like, oh, it's a spirit of Christmas.

1683
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,960
Speaker 1: It's just a good old fashioned story about this kid

1684
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 1: surviving bandits. Well, Vice, somebody for Vice actually did a

1685
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 1: research thing. They interviewed an e MT in New York

1686
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 1: and had him watch all of the booby trap scenes

1687
01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:50,839
Speaker 1: from Home Alone and rate the severity of the actual

1688
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: damage they should have done. That person. Most of them

1689
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 1: are like killing them. You know. Fabiano two was on

1690
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: a on a rant the other on Twitter, like Diehard

1691
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,840
Speaker 1: is not a Christmas movie because Christmas isn't about murdering

1692
01:22:02,920 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: people and stuff. These guys should be dead. I don't

1693
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: love should have multiple homicide counts against it. I love

1694
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 1: die Hard. Yeah, I just don't think it's It's a

1695
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Christmas movies anyways. Just enjoy these movies. If Christmas essentral

1696
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: to the plot, enjoy them. White Christmas starts out on

1697
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: a World War two battlefield, and that's one of the

1698
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: hallmarks of Christmas movies. So enjoy them. Enjoy them in

1699
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit. I've said this a million times. This

1700
01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: that's like saying Jaws is a nature flick. I mean

1701
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,800
Speaker 1: it is right for God takes place, so stupid, That's

1702
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Can't there be? Can't there be? Like

1703
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: if they're all under the umbrella of Christmas movies. And

1704
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: first of all, this play this plays right into Harmon's

1705
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: nothing matters. That's not true. I mean everything is the same,

1706
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: nothing that is. You are. You are completely misrepresenting who

1707
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: I am, and you will be hearing from my attorney

1708
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 1: for slandering me. But anyways, but the probably just just

1709
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 1: to just to clear it up, yes, please. My take

1710
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: is that we need to break down every bit of

1711
01:23:08,040 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: minutia possible in life, and this being number one. But

1712
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,439
Speaker 1: in the end, yeah, you're right, everything does matter. I

1713
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: mean everything nothing matters, like everything is meaningless. But at

1714
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,400
Speaker 1: the same thing, nothing matters. But we should we should

1715
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,920
Speaker 1: make sure we categorize and emphasize. Forget about nihilist army's

1716
01:23:22,960 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 1: we need a nihilist harmon account. How about that's just

1717
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: called harmon al right, we should yeah, alright, Happy holidays?

1718
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:39,120
Speaker 1: Holidays is Chris. I can't believe this pod with this

1719
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,759
Speaker 1: long we talked about nothing, bro we crossed eighty minutes.
