It's a very busy 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.400 time to be alive. Yeah, I mean there's also other 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.040 things I'll TV to watch. I don't know what you're 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:18.359 talking about. I watched El Camino last night. Oh, well 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.239 that's you know you watched that. Yes, it's true. I 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.680 felt like, you know, it's on demand whenever you want 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.440 to watch it. You don't felt like it was airy 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.240 on TV. You had to watch it last night, Greg, 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.240 watch whatever you want. I wanted to watch it last night. 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.120 Well you chose the night with that. Maybe had the 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:39.120 most going on ever. Well tonight from wrestling to basketball 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:45.079 to World Series on the DVR. Man, Like, I mean, 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.680 you say the same thing about al Camino. Waiting two 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.200 weeks to watch al Camino. What do you think? I 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.040 enjoyed it? Um. I was happy to be back in 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.520 the Breaking Bad universe. It was entirely unnecessary. It was 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.560 an unnecessary movie. That's probably be a good way to 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.040 put it. It's fine. Yeah, it was. It felt like 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.320 fan service. It was cool, it was fun, it was 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.600 awesome to see the guys. I wish wrestling gave me 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:11.920 fans service. That's too much to ask for just making 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.160 a fan service. It's our buddy, Eric, what's top you why? 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.320 That's what I'm knowing for fan service, guys. And uh yeah, 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.799 a huge night of sports and I won't want to 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.440 be watching any of it. Me and my wife are 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:27.000 going to watch Jokers, so oh nice. Also a great movie. 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:29.000 I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Gave gave 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.320 a little recap of that myself. I thought it was awesome, 0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.360 but Walking Phoenix did a great job, So I'll be 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.360 interested to hear your thoughts on it. You y, Yeah, yeah, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.600 it's I love the Joker character. Uh. D C has 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:45.960 obviously fallen behind Marvel in uh the printing money process. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.480 But uh, I heard that this movie is great. It's 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:51.240 dark and different and that's what Batman should be. So 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.440 I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to see the Joker. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.760 I still haven't gotten a chance. I see that. I'll 0:03:55.760 --> 0:04:01.600 probably wait until it comes out on UM on demand. LaserDisc. Yeah, 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:04.320 LaserDisc exactly. I was actually reading this morning that Vince 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.680 Gilligan is gonna has the leaded scenes for the Blue 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.440 Rays like the Blue Ray. What are we talking about here? 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.560 So whatever, you're way to get deleted scenes on on 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.680 demand now because if no one is buying anything else, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.880 you know what I mean? Do people watch deleted scenes? 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.479 Do you not? Not? Really? I think it's cool to see, 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.440 Like I guess they're probably uploaded on YouTube. I can 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.880 watch them there, but I have to go out of 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.760 my way. I don't know, I really, Yeah, it's no 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.719 interest of mine, to be honest. Yeah. So a couple 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.080 of things I want to get to here on today's 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.760 show where they get to the leftovers here in a 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.040 little bit, we got Virginia Zaki is joining us with 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.800 inside injuries. She makes her return. We'll hit on some 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.880 of these players that, uh, we don't know their status 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:45.600 for this week, so we'll hit on those guys. Will 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:50.279 also preview Thursday night football tonight between the Washington football 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.640 team and the Minnesota Vikings. Before we begin, let's get 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:57.240 to some housekeeping notes, gentlemen. The first of which, or 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.120 the first two of which I should say, involves the 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.919 New England Patriots. The first Josh Gordon placed on IR yesterday, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.920 a day after this team acquired Mohammed Sanu report goes 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.600 his k need's gonna be healthy enough to go in 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.000 a week or two and at that point he will 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.640 be released from the i R. I mean a free agent. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.400 There certainly seems to be more to the story here. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.040 Are you surprised? E y Josh Gordon no longer remember 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:24.039 on New England? Um, after the Snow thing, I figured 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.000 there was something up. I don't feel like Snow as 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.000 a player that they needed if Gordon was there. Um, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.719 so I feel like that that was definitely a rack reaction, 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.520 reactionary move by the Patriots. Um, I mean to me, 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:39.559 I mean Snow. To me, it's more of a wide 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.440 receiver that the Patriots will use that than Gordon and 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.680 gordon skill set. So he was not the same guy 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:48.200 that we saw a couple of years ago. It was 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.920 pretty obvious. Um, just basically a deep ball guy wasn't 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.880 really used much. Now he's hurt and and look like 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.760 he's done for the season, So we'll see. I think 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.000 Gabe phrases correct. Leag greg Win asked about Josh Gordon. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.640 He said, you know, the Patriots want reliability and they 0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.760 want availability, and Mohammed Sanu has been very reliable for 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.240 the Atlanta Falcons. Seems like Philip Dorset has a good 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.920 rapport with Tom Brady as well. We know Julian Edelman 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.120 that goes without saying. So they have their three wide 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.160 receiver sets and nikkil Harry expected to return soon. Looks 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:21.200 like they have something in Jacoby Myers. I think that 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.640 they kind of like that nucleus that they have now. Uh, 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.040 Josh Gordon was really a luxury, I don't. I don't 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.040 think that they really needed him. So this doesn't surprise me. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.800 And I'm not even gonna ask you, because I know 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:31.960 you were saying to drop Josh Gordon even before this. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.760 But I think in deeper leagues I am kind of 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.359 interested to see, you know, where he latches on. You know, 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:41.560 so in those fourteen team leagues or deeper or you know, 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.160 twelve team leagues like GST where we have eight or 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.360 nine bench spots something like that, where you know, the 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.039 the waiver wire targets left right now are not great, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.320 there's really not much upside. I think I just kind 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.120 of hold on to Josh Gordon in those deeper leagues 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:56.000 and see where he winds up. Maybe he winds up 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:58.440 on a team that really needs wide receiver help New 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:02.159 Orleans Saints something like that. The thing is, the Patriots 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.120 are a team that need wide receiver help. They traded 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.719 a second round pick from Mohamed Sanu and then decided 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.120 to ultimately cut Josh Gordon. The last time they kind 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.440 of did this reminds me of with Randy Moss, right 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.680 Like they went up training Randy Moss. That's Titans, and 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.920 we're like, what the hell is But like we certainly 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.600 seriously said, I remember, yeah, I remember Moss. I'm like, 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:24.080 all right, well, great changes scenery. That Patriots aren't utilizing him, 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:25.880 maybe he'll be great with the Titans. And he was 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.280 awful with with Tennessee, there was no use of him 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.360 at all. And I think we're gonna see the same 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:33.000 with Josh Gordon. Wherever he goes will be if he 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:34.960 was cut, it'll be a hot waiver wire pick up. 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:37.160 You have people like yourself saying, hey, let's hold on, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.200 let's see where he goes. And I understand that trepidation, 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.200 but like to me, some of these guys we were 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.200 talking about on the waiver wire earlier this week, even 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.200 a guy like Alex Erickson who have no interest in 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.160 job Johns Gordon for Alex Rickson. Yeah, I'm not saying 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.480 Josh Gordon is a must own player by any means. 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.320 It's really just like a case by case, deeper league 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.720 kind of play here where you just kind of hold 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.520 on and see maybe he latches on. Look if he 0:07:57.640 --> 0:07:59.560 ends up with New Orleans, right like, I think that'd 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.160 make a lot of sense with Drew Brees might have 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.280 some some potential there. But ultimately, yeah, it's not a 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.200 must hold by any means. Only deeply. When we come 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.520 back we hit on the leftover some buy or sell 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.360 And another note on the New England Patriots and the 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:17.920 idiot is Jarvis Lantry. I want to light the lamp 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.840 on Draft Kings and fan duel this NHL DFS season. 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:23.320 Then joined Daily Rodo dot com and learned from the 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:27.400 best daily fantasy sports players.

Enter the Promo Code action for 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:42.840 a ten percent discount. That's promo Code Action for a 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:59.040 ten percent discount. Sure, there are some things that you 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:05.280 just don't uh. You know. It's like, hey, you're facing 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.880 the New England Patriots. You don't give them bulletin board material, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:14.600 like saying I guarantee we're going to beat them this week, Jarvis. 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:19.160 They're they're undefeated. There's seven and O. Yeah, we're gonna 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.439 beat them. And I get it. You want to have 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.640 an internal confidence. But that one doesn't make sense. Rank Yeah, 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:28.800 I don't get that one either. This game opened up 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:30.600 with New England lane ten and a half points. It's 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.560 up to thirteen. So we know public betters are usually 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.400 on the Patriots, but it seems like a lot of 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:37.679 people are on the Patriots this week with the number 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.840 climbing that high. Um, I don't know, you got your 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:42.560 work cut out for your Jervis Landry. You're going up 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.400 against one of the best secondaries in the league, so 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:46.680 it's put up for shut up, let's see what happens. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.200 But ultimately, the way that that offensive line has played 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.480 for Cleveland, I expect Baker Mayfield to be under a 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.079 lot of pressure, probably much like what we just saw 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.400 on Monday night. Baker Mayfield might be seeing some ghosts himself. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.199 Because you know the Patriots are gonna be bringing house. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.839 They're gonna bring pressure and see if Baker Mayfield can 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.320 uh can really react to that. And ultimately I think 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:09.400 the answer will be no. Greg. So I don't really 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:11.280 know what Jarvis Landry is getting at here. Not the 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.679 right decision by Jarvis Landry. One final note before we 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.520 get to the leftovers. Uh. Dan Felman tweeted this out, Frank, 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:19.200 I think you gotta kick out of it. Uh. Seven 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.680 ft five Taco Fall, He's now in the concussion protocol 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:24.640 in the G League. As he hit his head on 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.560 a low ceiling. I was waiting for that other shooting 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:30.559 drop because I knew something was gonna happen. He had 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.079 to hit his head on something. Uh. That that's that's 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.959 pretty good. Well. Shout out to Taco Fall. I hope 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.320 you are right. Get well suoned, buddy, and and watch 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.760 where you're walking. Last basketball note as well, uh, presidential 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:44.320 candy Andrew Yang has a whole, like long opinion on 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.120 the Knicks. That's awesome. Is he a Knicks fan or 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:48.880 Nicks hater? Now he's a Knicks fan. He just doesn't 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:50.640 understand what they're doing. He's like they have all this time, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:53.400 these reclamation projects like Trey Burke and like, and they 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:55.440 just let them go and sign mide him deals elsewhere. 0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.960 And then you bring in all these power forwards and 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.880 instead of just letting players develop, you just giving to 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.800 all these stupid veterans. I was like, he's like, you 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.920 go out. It's like Kevin dur Aunt and missed out 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.800 on him. They just have he goes. I have no 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.000 belief in their process to develop players like you got 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.840 my vote, man Gregg. I don't care about politics whatsoever. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.640 You know that everybody on this show knows that. Please 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.640 send me that I'd like to read. We'll let you know. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:20.720 I'll show it to you. You're gonna read it when 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.920 we get a commercial, because right now it's time for 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:27.960 the Leftovers. Didn't get your fill from the waiver wire 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:34.959 now more? The BFFs has your leftovers. Watch this, never mind, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:39.080 give me a whole lot of it. The leftover time 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.559 here on a Thursday edition of the bf F. And 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:46.280 let's begin tonight with a matchup the Minnesota Vikings and 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.120 the Washington football team. You got Adam Fling already ruled out, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:55.000 So Frank who is BC Johnson b C Johnson is 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.640 the next wide receiver up for the Minnesota Vikings. He 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.000 played in place of Adam DeLand last week. He had 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.080 eight targets, four receptions for forty yards in a touchdown. 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.079 And the way to attack this Washington defense, well everywhere 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.599 is the secondary specifically. I think Stefon Digg has a 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.559 big game tonight, but I think that if you are 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.480 in a pinch, I think b C. Johnson is out 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.800 there in two wide receiver sets. They've probably run a 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.000 lot of two tight ends as well, but B C. 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.520 Johnson is gonna be on the field a lot. We 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.320 saw the targets last week. I think it's a good 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.240 matchup against Washington. If you are desperate for a wide receiver, 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.040 I don't think it's a bad play. E Y, what 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:30.040 does that desperation represent? Right, at what point are you 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:35.280 starting this guy tonight against Washington? I feel like you'd 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.640 have to be pretty pretty desperate. But I mean, these 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.079 are are the weeks that we're all desperate, Like, uh, 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.840 you know, I was texting with you guys earlier and it's, uh, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.000 I gotta start one of those running backs. And I 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.840 mean this is a kind of the same situation. So 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:50.199 if you're desperate. I mean, I feel like there are 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.080 worse things that you could do well. I agree, And 0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:54.760 if you desperate a tight end. I've said this a 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.640 lot that I Smith Jr. And Kylie Rudolph on the 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.720 radar tonight against Washington without Adams even in the line up, 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.520 I have a feeling one of these guys that go off. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.240 Problem is there's two of them, which makes it all 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.360 that much harder. But at this moment, I think if 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.200 you're desperate enough, you can start one of these tight 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.880 ends both as well leftovers here on this waiver Wire week, 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:17.480 continuing down the leftover list. I imagined him before, and 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:21.800 it's Alex Erickson for Cincinnati. I dropped Josh Gordon for him. 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.800 Is that a move that you'd endorse? Rank? Yeah, I'm 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.600 alright with that. You know, if you need help right 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.000 away as well, we don't understand. We don't know where 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.120 Josh Gordon's gonna land ultimately. And Alex Rikson coming off 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:34.360 a game where he had fourteen targets now going up 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.480 against the Los Angeles Rams. Yes, they have Jalen Ramsey. 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:39.360 I don't think Alex Erickson is gonna be the one 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:43.240 that gets to Jalen Ramsey treatment is probably more likely 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.959 that Audentate ends up seeing Jalen Ramsey. So they have 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:48.559 Tyler Boyd in the slot, and then they'll have Alex 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.320 Erickson roaming the field as well. But based on his 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.360 snap percentage last week, which was a season high, had 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.320 career highs across the board fourteen targets over a hundred 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:01.280 receiving yards. They are I think thirteen point underdogs right now. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.600 They're gonna be playing from behind. I do have some 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:05.839 slight interest in Alex Erickson, and it looks like a J. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.880 Green surprise surprise will not play again this week. I 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:10.839 have no idea what the Bengals are doing. You should 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.920 be trading a J. Green for anything that you can 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.000 get right now. They also don't know what they're doing, 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.800 so we'll come to the Cincinnati man. It must be 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.880 something about you know, orange on your Jersey's right. The 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.360 Cincinnati Bengals and New York Knicks and New York Mets 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.600 have no idea what they're doing. Cleveland Browns as well, 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.240 nobody has a clue. Greg Let's get rid of the orange. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.200 As much as I love orange my favorite color, by 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:31.600 the way, really you don't you don't hear orange of 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.160 the favorite color often, So that'll be That'll be my 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.600 conversation starter for Judy at her wedding. Greg, sure, what's 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.480 your birthday? Yeah, at my birthday, which she will be attending, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:44.240 I guess exactly. Okay. Also out there on the wave 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.320 while let me stick to the tight end spot, well, 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:49.880 Janice Smith talks about a lot e Y and Cameron Braid, 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.720 who I think it's worth bringing up. So just recently, 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.160 like a half hour ago, in my league, someone picks 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.040 up Cameron Braid, actually my opponent picks up Cameron Braid 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.840 with the thought that, hey, o J. Howard may not play, 0:15:01.040 --> 0:15:03.120 let me get Cameron Braid in there, because whenever O J. 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:05.240 Howard doesn't play, great kind of a sense to a 0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:07.640 tight end one. The problem is O J. Howard this 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.240 year has not been a tight end one because as 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.120 I tried to tell you, Bruce arians doesn't care about 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:16.160 the tight end. Will that change if Howard's out and 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:21.200 Braid is in? I mean, Brady has you know, been 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.560 a decent spot start this this year? And I mean 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.040 I feel like history has shown us that that's that's 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:30.440 the tight end that jameis Winston chooses. Also, O J. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.960 Howard is a better blocker than Cameron Braid, So when 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.120 they're both on the field, O J. Howard's going to 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.000 block and Cameron Brady is technically just a wide receiver, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.720 a large bodied wide receiver. So I don't know. I mean, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.840 I don't have O J. Howard anywhere. I was telling 0:15:43.880 --> 0:15:46.520 people I think it was a mistake. Arians has never 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.640 utilized the tight end. I don't care how good of 0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.240 an athlete he is. If the coach doesn't scheme to 0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:54.920 use that position, then there's no sense of owning him. Uh, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:57.440 Cameron Bait, I mean, you know you could stream him 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:00.160 this week. I feel like the Tennessee defense, like I 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.720 get the flags flying behind me here, but the tender 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.840 if he's defense is really good, Jameis Winston is going 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.920 to be under pressure, um and when he's under pressure, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:13.080 he's rotten. So I would I would avoid Braid this 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.520 this week if I could. I know there's the leftover portion, 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:18.360 but we'll rename it the do over portion, Frank, just 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:20.760 for for this particular player, and that's Cameron Bright. You're 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.120 all about O J. Howard. You thought that talent would 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.000 overcome scheme. Do you feel the same way that Cameron. Right, 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.760 I like Cameron Braid this week, especially if O. J. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:30.840 Howard isner, No, you're not doing do over. You're just 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.680 gonna screw this up again. I'm gonna do I I 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.560 am gonna do this over again, Greggy. And uh, look, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.920 Cameron Braid has scored touchdowns recently as well. I mean, 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.800 he's not largely involved in the game, but they are 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.960 passing the ball a ton, mostly because you know, their 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.040 defense is kind of reverted back to where it's been. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.480 They have been suffering. But you know, Cameron Braid is 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.520 involved in the game plan. And if O J. Howard 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.240 is not there, you know OJA Howard has seen his 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.160 two to four targets per game. If those start to go, 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.000 Cameron braids away and we're getting you know, six to 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.680 seven targets against the Tennessee Titans. E Y. You're right, 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.240 there are a good defense, but one area that they 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:05.360 struggle is against tight ends. They're allowing the night most 0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.880 fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year. I think 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:09.880 you know, if O. J. Howard is out, Cameron Braid 0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:12.040 is definitely in play, greg He will be a top 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.240 twelve tight end for me this week. If o J. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.720 Howard is out and E Y, I just kind of 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.280 wanted to piggyback off something that you said. And I 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.639 think it's a fallacy in coaching right now in the NFL, 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.560 and we've said this for years now. You are right. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.680 I mean, there are coaches that are stubborn that are 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.240 going to run their offensive system and their scheme no 0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:32.840 matter what players they have. But you'll notice that the 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.920 best offensive minds in the NFL fit their scheme to 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.320 the players that they have. And I think that's something 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.919 that Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Bucks have done 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.639 wrong this year. Obviously, I was in on o J. 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.399 Howard and I will admit that I was wrong. He 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:47.960 has been one of the biggest busts and fantasy football 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.159 so far this season. But I think when you invest 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.680 as much as they did in O J. Howard, even 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.800 though Bruce Arians was not involved whatsoever in the drafting 0:17:55.800 --> 0:17:58.560 of him, you should find ways to get a player 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:00.720 like that involved us. I think that that is a 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.600 fallacy amongst coaches in the NFL, but a last they 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:06.080 are coaches for a reason. I am not, but I 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.680 do think that you know, that is something that is 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.240 a downfall of coaches in the NFL. Greg, Absolutely, It's 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.080 not just the NFL there, it's downfall of coaches and 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.240 managers in every sport. How often do we say it, Hey, 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.200 this player in baseball is hot, Why isn't he getting 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:24.320 more playing time? To you know, this players, it doesn't work. Yeah, 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:26.720 this player is performing well in basketball. Why isn't he 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.680 part of the rotation? Why doesn't he get more minutes? 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.560 I mean we say this over and over. You know, 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:32.600 sometimes there are things behind the scenes that we don't 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.720 know about. You know, there's a lot of politics involved. 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.840 Oh you know, well, this player was drafted high, this 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:38.800 player is making this much money. They have to play, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.760 So there are things that we don't know about. But 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:45.440 un it's unfortunate. Alright, we'll take a break. Joins us. Next, 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.080 I want to light the lamp on Draft Kings and 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:53.760 FanDuel this NHL DFS season.

I've fallen 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:32.280 and I can get off Inside Injuries with Virginia Zakas. 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:43.200 But a scratch, a scratch, the arms off Inside Injuries Update. 0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.840 It's Virginia Zakis, Frank Stamp, Will e Y and myself 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.879 or here as well. Virginia, welcome back at the program. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:51.600 Think you. It's good to be that you have an 0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:54.720 intro for you now. So it's brand new. I like 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.199 it all right, cool, So let's get right into it 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.560 here and let's break it down. Last week for the 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.520 New Orlean Stays, both of Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:05.520 missed time, did not play last week. They have their 0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.800 by next week. Will they be out there this Sunday? 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:14.320 So Alvin Kamara did not practice yesterday, which is not 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.119 a good way to start off the week. Um, he 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.240 was originally listed with ankle and knee injuries. UM, I've 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:21.159 always been a little more concerned about his ankle than 0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:23.639 his knee, and now he's just listened with that ankle injury. 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:25.800 So that's what we really need to watch here. UM, 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:27.520 I do believe it was a mild m c L 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.920 sprain for him, but that should be healed up within 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.879 two weeks. So UM, I think his ankle is what 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.720 might prevent him from playing this weekend. UM. It sounds 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.200 like a mild high ankle sprain. But even if that's 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:41.800 the case, high ankle sprains are very very difficult to 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:44.920 fully recover from in just two weeks. UM, if it 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.040 truly is very mild, we're giving him a three week 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.159 optimal recovery time, which means he should sit through the 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.919 bye week. UM. It just doesn't seem like it's worth 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.560 risking it in this situation. So it seems a little 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.720 more doubtful than questionable. UM. Jared Cook also dealing with 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.520 an ankle injury, and we don't know very much about 0:21:01.520 --> 0:21:03.840 his injury. They really just said that it's to his ankle, 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:08.760 but that's kind of it. UM. So he didn't practice yesterday, obviously, 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.280 not a good way to start off the week. UM, 0:21:11.320 --> 0:21:14.040 it is not looking like he's gonna suit up. UM. 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:16.480 We don't know which ankle is hurt. But he also 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.080 missed six games in two dozen sixteen with the high 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.879 ankle sprain, and we know that once players suffer pretty 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:25.160 serious ankle injuries like he has, those ligaments get stretched out, 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.399 leaving them more more susceptible to future ankle injuries. So 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.200 pretty concerned about him this week, but after the bye, 0:21:31.280 --> 0:21:35.000 we think he'll be good to go. As an amateur 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.880 basketball player, Greg who has messed up my my ankles 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.960 multiple times, I can, I can attest to that. Yes, 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:46.240 I wear I wear races on both of my anks, 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:49.040 so that is definitely true. We are speaking with Virginia 0:21:49.080 --> 0:21:52.240 zakas of inside injuries. Pay attention to Jared Cook because 0:21:52.280 --> 0:21:54.160 they're going up against the Cardinals and if he can't go, 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:56.800 then Josh Hill makes for a great play this week 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.360 at the tight end position. Virginia, I want to ask 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.840 you about Devontae Adams and he's not practicing again today 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.280 but on the field stretching for whatever that means. Please 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:10.480 remind us what Inside Injuries had as the timetable for 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:14.000 Davanta Adams when you know when should he return and 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:18.359 you know, are we expecting him back this week? Yeah, 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:20.800 So from the beginning we've had him listed with a 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.919 grade to turf toe injury. Um. Turf toe is just 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.760 another way of saying a sprain to the main joint 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.520 in the big toe. UM, there's lots of different severities 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:32.800 of it. His sounds somewhat serious, but not serious enough 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:34.600 that there's you know, a tear in there that would 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:38.119 require surgery. UM. So because it's a grade to injury, 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.360 this is going to come with a five week optimal 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.360 recovery time for him. UM. He was hasn't played since 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.760 Week four. That means what you think he'll be healthy 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:50.240 to return around week nine? UM, back to back d nps. 0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:52.920 When a players already missed a month, that means he 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.159 should not play. UM. They're saying he could be a 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:57.720 game time decision. But you know, if he's not ready 0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:59.520 to go and at least get in a limited practice 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:01.960 by winds are Thursday, that means he's not gonna be 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.360 ready to go this weekend. So I really don't think 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.280 you should play. He's still a high injury risk m 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:10.160 and his health performance factors below average. If he were 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.959 to play, that toe would still affect him accelerating, pushing off, cutting, 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.920 running routes. Pretty much every important part of his game 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.160 would be affected. At this point, Greg, we've already missed 0:23:20.160 --> 0:23:21.959 so much time with Davantae Adams. They might as well 0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:24.320 just hold them out until he's completely healthy. Yeah, absolutely, 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.720 what is there buying, Frank, I don't have it right 0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.719 in front of me. But according to Inside Injuries, they 0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:32.880 said week nine should be a good timetable to him. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:36.119 But I will I'll pull up I'll pull up the by. 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:37.760 We can let you know, even two seconds. I can 0:23:37.880 --> 0:23:40.240 also get it up here unless you're doing it first. 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.560 I am here to win this battle. That would be 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.840 by week eleven. I don't think they're going to hold 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:48.600 them out all the way through that. They might get 0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.640 him back by week nine, week ten, get his legs 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:54.000 underneath him a little bit before hitting that by, and 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:55.920 then he'll have another week to rest. Then. I don't 0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.480 just think that they hold them out all the way 0:23:57.480 --> 0:23:59.600 through week eleven and then return a week twelve. If 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:01.200 they were going to do that, you should just put 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:04.359 him on I R. What's all Virginia Zakis here in Virginia. 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:09.959 Fantasy owners were stunned last Sunday where David Johnson was Uh, 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:15.159 he was starting until he he wasn't starting anymore, and 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:17.399 it was a bit of a disaster. Now the Cardinals 0:24:17.400 --> 0:24:22.240 go out and signed to running backs, how serious is injured? DJ? Yeah, 0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.640 I think the team was very misleading over the weekend. Um, 0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.120 you know, it seemed like he was gonna be good 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:28.840 to go. He was in there on that first series, 0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:32.560 had to carry, and then he didn't play again. UM. 0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:35.760 I believe that they didn't think he looked right and 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.840 he was maybe in a lot of pain. Um tweaked 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:41.360 that ankle again on on one of those first few 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.280 plays and then didn't return to the game. So if 0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:48.680 that's the case, UM, you know, pretty concerning to re 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.320 aggravate an injury like that. UM, he didn't practice yesterday, 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:55.960 obviously not a good sign. UM. We're showing that he 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:59.160 has a healthy to return date around week nine, although 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.120 depending on how bad but he reinjured his ankle last week, 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:04.800 that could be pushed back even further if we learn 0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:07.560 more this week. But no surprise, he's a high injury risk. 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:09.800 His back is also a little bit of a concern 0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:11.919 along with that ankle. UM, and I think it's going 0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:13.680 to be at least another week before we see him 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:17.000 out there. I agree with Virginia based on seeing them 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.679 signed two running backs. I would be very surprised if 0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:23.240 David Johnson suits up for this week Virginia. We saw 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:27.240 yesterday that Patrick Mahomes got in a limited practice. They're 0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:29.639 saying he's going to do the same thing again today. 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.439 I mean, this is pretty crazy, no, considering he just 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.679 suffered that knee injury last week, and all the timetables 0:25:35.680 --> 0:25:38.560 that we heard were, you know, maybe two weeks if 0:25:38.560 --> 0:25:41.159 we're optimistic, but probably looking at anywhere from two to 0:25:41.240 --> 0:25:43.720 four weeks. What's going on with Patrick Mahomes And are 0:25:43.720 --> 0:25:47.159 they crazy for letting in practice right now? Yeah? This 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.080 really does not seem smart to me. UM. You know, 0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:52.160 he had that m R I. They said he avoided 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:55.680 you know, any serious damage UM, which is great, but 0:25:56.160 --> 0:25:59.320 it still indicates that there's some damage to the knee. UM. 0:25:59.320 --> 0:26:01.639 When the nick dislocates, there's a lot of things that 0:26:01.640 --> 0:26:03.640 can happen, but based on what we know so far, 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.639 there's likely a little bit of cartilage damage UM and 0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:12.200 possibly the mpfl UM, the medial patelo femoral ligment could 0:26:12.240 --> 0:26:14.600 have gotten stretched out. UM. I don't think there's a 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:17.159 major tear in there because that would require surgery, but 0:26:17.680 --> 0:26:20.080 this takes time to heal. UM. There's no way he 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:22.000 should be back out there in just one week, even 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.520 if it's just a limited practice. UM. We saw one 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.359 video of him kind of moving around in the field 0:26:26.400 --> 0:26:29.119 and he just did not look comfortable. So, you know, 0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:31.359 the Chiefs, they're in a position where they can afford 0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.479 to have him sit for a few games. UM, and 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.199 that's really what they should do if they want him 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:37.320 healthy late in the season. If he tries to play 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.320 this week or next, UM, he's going to get a 0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.240 very very high risk of re injury. Not only re 0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:46.120 injuring his knee, but you know, he clearly doesn't look 0:26:46.119 --> 0:26:48.159 comfortable moving around and that's putting the rest of his 0:26:48.200 --> 0:26:51.600 body at risk. So we're showing a actually a six 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.440 week optimal recovery time right now. Definitely don't think he's 0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:56.600 gonna miss that much time, but he's going to be 0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.879 a high injury risk through the month of November. I 0:27:00.800 --> 0:27:03.560 should not return this week. We're next week. We'll see 0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.680 how quickly he ultimately makes it back. Uh, the Chiefs 0:27:06.720 --> 0:27:09.000 by still not for a few more weeks. Now we 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.600 twelve by for the Kansas City Chiefs. Talking Virginia, zis 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.800 here all of inside injuries in Virginia. Let me go 0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:19.119 to the NFC North where tonight Adam Feeland has been 0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.679 ruled out UM and carry On Johnson has been placed 0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:23.560 on I R. What can you tell us about these 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:27.919 two NFC North players. Yeah, I think Feeland may have 0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:29.920 had a shot to play if they were playing on Sunday, 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:32.360 but the quick turnaround in just four days wasn't realistic 0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:34.920 for him. Um m R I showed a mild hamstring 0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.760 strain just comes with a two week optimal recovery time. UM. 0:27:38.760 --> 0:27:40.840 He probably won't get back in that low injury risk 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:43.720 category for at least another three to four weeks, but 0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:45.840 I think there's a very good chance he plays week 0:27:45.960 --> 0:27:47.800 nine UM, and that's what are showing is healthy to 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:52.040 return date is UM. Now for carry On Johnson, they 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:54.040 placed him on I R with a knee injury and 0:27:54.040 --> 0:27:57.360 he's undergoing surgery. They haven't said exactly what's going on here, 0:27:57.400 --> 0:27:59.479 but based on the timeline and the fact that they 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:01.840 think he could return later in the season, this is 0:28:01.880 --> 0:28:04.920 likely a nice scope. UM. I don't think there's ligament damage, 0:28:04.920 --> 0:28:06.679 but it could be to you know, clean out some 0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:10.880 cartilage or to repair some moniscus damage. So if that's 0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.639 the case, it is realistic for him to turn return 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:15.679 in the last few weeks of the season. UM, but 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:18.720 if it's anything more serious than we uh, we shouldn't 0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:21.760 see him again this year. Virginia, I want to ask 0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:24.720 you about Matt Ryan. This obviously has huge implications on 0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:28.919 the entire Atlanta Falcons offense, most notably Julio Jones, Austin Hooper, 0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:32.679 Calvin Ridley, Devonte Freeman. You know, if Matt schob is 0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:34.679 the starting quarterback for the team, we obviously have to 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:38.480 downgrade all of those weapons. Heading into Week eight, Matt 0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:40.800 Ryan did not practice again today. He's dealing with an 0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:42.800 ankle injury. What do you guys have on Matt Ryan. 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:44.440 Do you expect him to play this week? If not, 0:28:44.720 --> 0:28:48.640 what is his optimal recovery time? So we're showing that 0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.880 he should wait around two weeks to return. Um, it 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.640 is possible for a quarterback like Ryan to play through 0:28:54.680 --> 0:28:56.600 a high ankle sprain much quicker than you know, a 0:28:56.680 --> 0:28:59.720 running back or a wide receiver might. Patrick Mahomes, you know, 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:01.680 his has suffered a high ankle sprain a few times 0:29:01.680 --> 0:29:04.360 this season and it is pretty quickly returned. So I 0:29:04.360 --> 0:29:07.080 do think it's possible that he plays, but it's very 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:10.800 easy to aggravate and it can be made worse very easily. 0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:13.720 So right now it's you know, a milder high ankle sprain. 0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:16.440 But if he were to re aggravate it, um land 0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.960 awkwardly on it, get hit in a weird way, he 0:29:18.960 --> 0:29:21.480 could suffer ligament damage that could end his season. So 0:29:21.760 --> 0:29:23.920 given where the Falcons are right now, I don't think 0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:25.440 they're going to take a risk with him if he's 0:29:25.440 --> 0:29:28.160 not ready. Um he is someone that can he doesn't 0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.000 need to practice this week in order to suit up 0:29:30.000 --> 0:29:32.480 on Sunday, But I just I don't see them running 0:29:32.520 --> 0:29:34.640 him back out there this week. Um it just it 0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:36.960 just isn't worth it. And he's um of course, a 0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:38.960 high injury risk right now, and we'll be at least 0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:40.760 for the next two weeks. One of the top waiver 0:29:40.840 --> 0:29:44.480 wire adds this past week Virginia was and he stills 0:29:44.480 --> 0:29:46.480 and that was because of will Fuller's injury. He gets 0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:49.120 injured every year, and this time it was a hamstring 0:29:49.120 --> 0:29:51.880 that knocked him out in the first quarter this past Sunday. 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:53.960 How quickly can will Fuller get back on the field 0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:57.120 of for Houston. I think we're looking at a very 0:29:57.200 --> 0:30:00.320 lengthy absence for Fuller. UM. Remember he suffered a torn 0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:02.480 right a c L last year, and it's pretty common, 0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:04.640 unfortunately for players coming back from an A c L 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:08.120 injury to suffer hamstring injuries. UM. Happened to Dealvin Cook 0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:11.080 last year, it happened to Darius Guys over the summer. Um, 0:30:11.080 --> 0:30:13.560 there's tons of examples of it happening. And on top 0:30:13.600 --> 0:30:17.880 of that, Fuller has a very concerning history of hamstring injuries. UM, 0:30:17.920 --> 0:30:20.760 he also has other You know, he's had a clavical fracture, 0:30:20.840 --> 0:30:24.200 rib fracture surgery on his other knee. UM. He missed 0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:26.880 almost the entire preseason last year with a hamstring injury 0:30:27.040 --> 0:30:29.800 and had multiple strings of two thousand sixteen. Um, we're 0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:32.920 showing a minimum five week optimal recovery time for him, 0:30:33.080 --> 0:30:36.960 so we should not return before week twelve. Virginia, real quick, 0:30:36.960 --> 0:30:38.720 please tell me that Chris Herndon is going to play 0:30:38.720 --> 0:30:41.720 this week for my New York Jets. I think he's 0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:43.880 got a pretty good shot. We have a healthier return 0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.760 date around week eight, so I think he can do it. 0:30:47.440 --> 0:30:49.480 I assume he won't, and then the offense will be 0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:54.520 quote unstoppable. As Sam Donald said, Greg he sees ghosts. 0:30:55.760 --> 0:31:00.000 We all do Halloween season. Come on right, she's Virginia 0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:02.160 Zaga has We appreciate the time, Virginia.

All right, guys, 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:29.920 For the second consecutive week, Josh Jacobs is not practice 0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:34.160 Wednesday and has not practiced Thursday. We'll see about tomorrow, 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.640 but this is beginning to get a little bit if 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.720 he i'd say about Josh Jacob's availability for this week. 0:32:40.960 --> 0:32:42.640 I know you've talked a lot, Frank, and he thought 0:32:42.640 --> 0:32:45.000 he was a Bilow candidate. The schedule really eases up 0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:47.640 for the Raiders against the the rush defenses that they 0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:51.760 will face. Uh, it's Houston here this week. If Josh Jacobs, 0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:53.600 for whatever reason, he isn't able to go and he 0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.840 doesn't practice tomorrow, Um, the two backups for Oakland or 0:32:56.880 --> 0:33:00.600 DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard, which one would you pick 0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:02.400 up and would you put him in your line up? 0:33:03.560 --> 0:33:06.320 I would be more apt to pick up DeAndre Washington. 0:33:06.520 --> 0:33:08.960 He has twenty nine carries on the season, which is 0:33:09.000 --> 0:33:10.840 second most on the Oakland Raiders. So I think if 0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.640 anything were the where to happen to Josh Jacobs, he 0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:15.000 is the next man up, the one that they would 0:33:15.040 --> 0:33:17.320 slot in there, uh and see most of the early 0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.880 down work and see the goal line work once they 0:33:19.920 --> 0:33:22.480 get inside the red zone as well, assuming that they 0:33:22.480 --> 0:33:24.760 get inside the red zone without Josh Jacobs, because he 0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:26.760 has been a huge part of their offense, but their 0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:30.280 offensive line Gregg has played really really well. Uh, specifically 0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:32.680 when it comes to run blocking. The Oakland Raiders are 0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.280 fourth in run blocking fourth in adjusted line yards according 0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:39.200 to Football Outsiders. So I would have interest in DeAndre 0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:42.640 Washington as a flex running back if Josh Jacobs were 0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.000 not able to go this week. But as you alluded to, Greg, 0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.200 he did not practice last week as well and still 0:33:47.280 --> 0:33:49.760 ended up playing and ended up playing really really well 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.520 against Green Bays. So I'm not saying, you know, Josh 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.040 Jacobs isn't gonna play yet, I'm not gonna react too far, 0:33:56.320 --> 0:33:58.120 but maybe if you own him, you might want to 0:33:58.160 --> 0:34:00.640 go out there, uh and grab a dion Drey Washington 0:34:00.640 --> 0:34:03.520 if he's available, Greg, Yeah, j Washington, any running back 0:34:03.560 --> 0:34:05.800 that's a starter. Werena go out and grab if we can. 0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.600 You want any interest from you for DeAndre Washington. I 0:34:08.640 --> 0:34:11.720 know you're in a spot we're considering starting Peyton Barbara 0:34:11.760 --> 0:34:14.520 and Kenyan Drake and Miles stand. It's a spot where 0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:16.640 that's why we want to get Josh Jacobs didn't play. 0:34:16.640 --> 0:34:22.200 I would start DeAndre Washington over all those totally. Yeah. 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:24.400 I don't know. I feel like every time whatever the 0:34:24.400 --> 0:34:27.800 starting back is down, that Richard and Washington just split 0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:30.000 and there's no way to know. I think it's gonna 0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.640 depend on game flow. I would imagine that the Raiders 0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.920 will be behind and Richard will get more work, like 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.319 maybe not first and a second down, but then we're 0:34:37.320 --> 0:34:38.680 throwing a bunch at the end of the game and 0:34:38.760 --> 0:34:42.480 he's going to be the past catcher. Um. So I 0:34:42.520 --> 0:34:45.000 don't know that that's tough for me to trust at all, 0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:47.359 because every time it comes down to those two, it's 0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:50.000 literally a dart throw, and I don't know if I'm 0:34:50.040 --> 0:34:52.160 willing to do that, But like you said, for me, 0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:55.120 I'm in a dart throw regardless, So that will be 0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.799 something that I'll definitely consider. And I mean another guy 0:34:57.800 --> 0:34:59.920 that could be in that thing is is Wendell Smallwood 0:34:59.960 --> 0:35:04.680 is well sure, why not? Yeah, they're saying Adrian Peterson 0:35:04.840 --> 0:35:07.080 is questionable for tonight, but everything that I've read says 0:35:07.120 --> 0:35:09.319 that he's gonna play. You know, he wants to get 0:35:09.320 --> 0:35:12.680 back out there against Minnesota in the hashtag revenge game, Greg, 0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.520 revenge all around tonight. You can never have this much 0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:19.040 revenge in a single game, uh, that I've ever seen before. 0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:22.000 But tonight we will have all the revenge. So pay 0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:24.040 attention to see if Adrian Peterson is good to go. 0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:26.200 But when the Smallwood the next man up, and it 0:35:26.239 --> 0:35:28.799 seems like Darius Guys is getting closer to returning as well. 0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:31.560 If you want to stash him, now's the time, absolutely, 0:35:31.600 --> 0:35:34.719 now easy, the time to stash. Went to stash. Excuse me, 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:37.880 Darius Guys. Let's get into Thursday night football here between 0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.799 Washington and Minnesota. As you said, Frankie, it is the 0:35:40.800 --> 0:35:43.319 revenge game of all revenge games. Is both quarterbacks in 0:35:43.360 --> 0:35:46.080 a revenge situation. In fact that you know the last 0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.640 two times these teams, the last time these two teams played, 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:52.680 these same quarterbacks started just on the opposite teams. It 0:35:52.760 --> 0:35:56.040 was case Keenum going for Minnesota and Kirk Cousins going 0:35:56.200 --> 0:36:00.480 for Washington. It was a um, it was a magical 0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:02.640 season for Minnesota. Of course that you're a case Keen 0:36:02.880 --> 0:36:05.279 as the starter. Now these two teams will go at 0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.319 it again, one team going in one direction of the 0:36:07.320 --> 0:36:10.839 other team obviously going in the other. So tonight, what 0:36:10.880 --> 0:36:14.680 are we expecting in this matchup? I don't think it's 0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:17.680 relatively close here, and I think that's reflected in the 0:36:17.719 --> 0:36:20.760 spread as well. This game opened up with Minnesota lane fourteen. 0:36:20.800 --> 0:36:23.080 It's up to sixteen and a half. Wouldn't surprise me 0:36:23.280 --> 0:36:26.439 if it gets up to seventeen before game time here, Greg, 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:27.920 And you're right, it's two teams that are going in 0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:31.200 opposite directions. The Minnesota Vikings have won three games in 0:36:31.200 --> 0:36:33.879 a row, and in those three games, you know, since 0:36:34.120 --> 0:36:37.400 Adam Feland called out Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins is the 0:36:37.400 --> 0:36:39.680 first quarterback in NFL history to throw for three hundred 0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:42.440 plus yards and post a quarterback rating of one and 0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:46.600 thirty five or higher in three consecutive games. So I'm 0:36:46.600 --> 0:36:48.880 not sure that he will have to throw as much tonight, 0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.640 but I can see him putting up you know, to 0:36:51.880 --> 0:36:54.560 fifty to two seventy multiple touchdowns. You know, maybe if 0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:57.680 he really wants to lay it on Dan Snyder and Washington, 0:36:57.760 --> 0:37:01.000 he throws for a third touchdown, but the secondary for 0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:04.160 Washington is not good, and they're saying Josh Norman is 0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.360 questionable for tonight. Ultimately, I think that ends up helping 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.440 the Minnesota Vikings. He is not the player that he 0:37:09.480 --> 0:37:11.520 wants was. I think Stefon Diggs is in a really 0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:13.920 good spot to have him as a top twelve wide receiver. Again, 0:37:14.080 --> 0:37:16.319 if you're desperate, b C. Johnson is going to be 0:37:16.360 --> 0:37:18.920 filling in for four Adam Feeling. The tight ends are 0:37:18.920 --> 0:37:21.120 going to play as well. They each had six targets 0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.359 last week. Kyle Rudolph got into the end zone last week. 0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.680 I like the over for both Dalvin Cook and Alexander 0:37:27.680 --> 0:37:30.800 Madison tonight. The over under for Dalvin Cook's rushing yards 0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:32.920 ninety and a half. He has ran for over a 0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.400 hundred yards in five of seven games this year, so 0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:38.120 I do like that number for him. And if you 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:41.120 think it gets out of hand, Alexander Madison his prop 0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.520 his thirty six and a half greg and he has 0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:45.880 cleared that in four of seven games. And you know, 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:47.920 if they're up two or three scores at the end 0:37:47.920 --> 0:37:49.520 of this one in the fourth quarter, then maybe we 0:37:49.600 --> 0:37:53.200 see more of Alexander Madison as well. On the other side, 0:37:53.600 --> 0:37:55.719 I don't really like case Keena much, you know, maybe 0:37:55.719 --> 0:37:58.080 outside of a super flex where you're really desperate. I 0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:01.080 still do like Terry mcle or in though they're likely 0:38:01.080 --> 0:38:03.440 trailing points in this game, Greg, And last week we 0:38:03.520 --> 0:38:07.320 just saw Marvin Jones have a four touchdown performance against 0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:11.200 this Vikings defense. They have allowed eleven touchdowns to wide receivers. 0:38:11.360 --> 0:38:14.960 That is tied for most in the NFL. So, you know, 0:38:15.160 --> 0:38:17.680 Xavier roads, it used to be roads closed. It's not 0:38:17.840 --> 0:38:22.080 that case anymore. It's more like bumpy roads nowadays, country roads, 0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.399 whatever you wanna call it. Greg. Terry McLaurin I think 0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:26.719 is a low end wide receiver two here tonight. I 0:38:26.719 --> 0:38:29.640 don't want to get involved with anybody else in Washington. 0:38:29.800 --> 0:38:31.480 I don't want to do the Adrian Peterson thing. I 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:33.760 understand he has twenty carries and back to back games, 0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:36.760 but ultimately the only name that I'm looking at tonight 0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:40.400 on Washington side is Terry McLaurin. Yeah, I agree with you. 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:42.839 I'm not listen if Adrian Peterson doesn't play and you're 0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:45.880 the spot like Eric is, then maybe you start window smaller. 0:38:45.960 --> 0:38:47.680 But there Adrian Peterson is going to be active. We'll 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:51.800 see how effective he ultimately is. From Minnesota's for Minnesota tonight. However, 0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.520 I think Stefon Dixon and play. I think, hey, Kyle 0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.120 Rudolph and IRV Smith are in play as well. Do 0:38:57.120 --> 0:38:59.799 you prefer I'm starting IRV Smith in and and if 0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:02.960 they're t league tonight? Really desperate, I had Delaney Walker 0:39:03.000 --> 0:39:06.080 as my tight end. Did you choose I Smith over 0:39:06.160 --> 0:39:09.040 Kyli Rodoff? So it's funny you bring that up because 0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:12.800 I have I have will I hope you asked because 0:39:12.880 --> 0:39:16.720 I have a I have a co owner of this team, 0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:19.839 and he prefers if Smith to Kyrodolf. I probably would 0:39:19.840 --> 0:39:22.240 have went with Kyrodolph. He plays more snaps, he runs 0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:24.279 more routes. With this co owner is your funder. Co 0:39:24.400 --> 0:39:27.480 owner is the funder. So what he says goes, We're 0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:30.160 going with if Smith. So I wanted to start for 0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:31.920 earlier in the week. You knew that. He talked me 0:39:31.920 --> 0:39:33.840 out of it, like you the numbers talking to me 0:39:33.840 --> 0:39:35.480 out of it because its Kyl rudof get the majority 0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.920 of snaps. Is Kyli roudof majority of the routes the 0:39:38.920 --> 0:39:41.440 touchdown last week and Kyroff hasn't done anything all year. 0:39:42.200 --> 0:39:45.400 Last week was the first touchdown he scored all seasons. So, um, 0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:47.480 it's not like the slam dunk play. But if you 0:39:47.480 --> 0:39:49.360 think that they're going to be passing the ball a 0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:51.719 little bit tonight there's no Adam feeling, then the tight 0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.440 ends are likely involved. We'll see what happens, uh in 0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:57.120 this one over to you, e y, what do you 0:39:57.160 --> 0:39:59.359 think about these tight ends? Would just start anybody else 0:39:59.360 --> 0:40:01.759 from Washington other than Terry McLaurin. I mean, you don't 0:40:01.760 --> 0:40:03.520 even have Frank telling us about Paul Richards in this week, 0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:05.840 so that's a good week. What would you do in 0:40:05.880 --> 0:40:08.839 this matchup tonight? Yeah? For me, McLaren is the only 0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:11.839 guy that I would use for Washington. Um, I've got 0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:14.160 him on a few teams and I'm hoping that he 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:16.160 shows up big like he has been. I mean, I 0:40:16.160 --> 0:40:20.120 think that's been a massive surprise. A rookie wide receiver 0:40:20.320 --> 0:40:23.319 on on on a dismal offense with Case Keaton throwing 0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:25.640 the ball has been getting it done basically every week. 0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:28.960 So that's the guy I'll definitely start um and I 0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:30.719 mean it, look the reality has his Kirk comes does 0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:33.239 looked good the last couple of weeks, he looked really good. 0:40:33.440 --> 0:40:36.640 So Stefon Diggs is a must start for me for sure. Uh. 0:40:36.760 --> 0:40:40.319 Dalvin Cook is an absolute beast um and and I 0:40:40.360 --> 0:40:42.680 would uh, I would be if you have Cook and 0:40:42.719 --> 0:40:45.040 Madison's available, which I'm sure he's not, but if he's 0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:48.359 available out there, hold onto that guy because Dalvin Cook, 0:40:48.960 --> 0:40:51.920 he's got a history of injuries and Madison could be 0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:55.000 a top ten running back if Cook goes down. Shout 0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.359 out to the close of Chris Venture coming up with 0:40:57.400 --> 0:41:00.200 the Dreaded Duo. We really like that nickname here for 0:41:00.280 --> 0:41:03.600 both of these guys, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Madison. I 0:41:03.640 --> 0:41:05.760 think it's a good spot for both of these guys, Tonight, Craig. 0:41:05.920 --> 0:41:08.120 From a betting perspective, this game is tough, man, because 0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:11.520 the spread just keeps rising and rising and you don't 0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:14.160 really expect it to be close. But you know there 0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:16.560 are some holes right now in the Vikings secondary, so 0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:19.520 maybe you get a backdoor cover from Washington. It's just 0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:22.480 there's so many points. As Gabe likes to say, you're 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.759 not gonna go You're not gonna get rich betting on 0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:27.439 double digit favorites in the NFL. No, you're not. This 0:41:27.520 --> 0:41:30.480 year more However, this year, more often than not, there's 0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:33.239 double digit favorites have covered the spread, as we saw 0:41:33.239 --> 0:41:36.200 earlier in the year with New England with Dallas facing 0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:39.799 off against Miami. Um, I won't tell what was that. 0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:41.800 There's a fly around here. I was trying to I 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.879 was trying to shoot him away. I was not telling 0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:46.160 you to stop talking, Greg, I was trying to shoot 0:41:46.160 --> 0:41:48.680 a fly away. He was going like this, he's just 0:41:48.680 --> 0:41:51.560 shooting me. Get out of here, Greg, give us some 0:41:51.560 --> 0:41:53.960 hard hitting analysis. Well, I was gonna tell you that tonight. 0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:56.480 Week eight. I am still in my survivor pool, which 0:41:56.520 --> 0:41:58.920 is great. I'm going on STA tonight. I think that 0:41:58.960 --> 0:42:00.120 makes a lot of sense. You know, it's one of 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:02.680 the biggest spreads, the biggest bread on the board right now. 0:42:02.920 --> 0:42:05.160 I like the Vikings defense tonight. We didn't talk about that, 0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:08.120 and defensive stream if they're available, I do like them 0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:10.640 a decent bit here against Washington. They should be able 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:12.560 to get some pressure on case Keen. I'm really glad 0:42:12.600 --> 0:42:15.320 you brought up defensive stream here because I wasn't suggest 0:42:15.360 --> 0:42:17.000 day we didn't really get a chance to. And that's 0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:18.880 the reallyand defense. So as I said, with the seventh 0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:22.799 ranked scorers in all of fantasy football this year, if 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:27.120 you have the New England Patriots defense, would you treat 0:42:27.200 --> 0:42:30.880 them away right now? Anyway? I mean all depends on 0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:32.680 what you're gonna get. You mean, I think there are 0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:35.040 leagues where you could say, like, look like this is 0:42:35.560 --> 0:42:39.520 you know, a top ten scoring player basically, I mean 0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:41.719 it's a bunch of players, but it's one single position, 0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:44.640 and there's people that would one. They don't want the 0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:47.279 headache of trying to find one every week. Uh that 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.120 that person is me. But I'm not going to trade 0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:53.080 away anything important for New England or the defense. I 0:42:53.360 --> 0:42:56.160 look at they've been great. But has there been a 0:42:56.200 --> 0:42:59.040 software schedule for any team in the NFL then the 0:42:59.040 --> 0:43:01.120 Patriots up to this point, and look, it's not gonna 0:43:01.120 --> 0:43:03.560 get super difficult going forward. Somehow they have like one 0:43:03.600 --> 0:43:06.680 of the easiest schedules. Uh, the rich get richer. Now 0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:09.560 they've got Mohammed Sanu and I can't wait for West 0:43:09.600 --> 0:43:11.399 Welker to throw a pass to him and then him 0:43:11.400 --> 0:43:13.719 throw one back to West Welker and then score a touchdown. 0:43:14.160 --> 0:43:18.080 So it's a I mean, it's infuriating. It was being 0:43:18.120 --> 0:43:20.200 not a Patriots fan. They're just good. Every year you 0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:22.600 can bet against him. But I'm not trading anything significant. 0:43:22.600 --> 0:43:24.600 If someone wants to give them up for for a 0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:26.400 bench player or something like that, which is probably not 0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:27.719 going to happen, I would do it, but I'm not 0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:29.759 going to give up something it's significant for the for 0:43:29.840 --> 0:43:31.920 a defense. I do agree with e Y that I 0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:35.880 would not be trying to acquire New England. But you 0:43:36.000 --> 0:43:39.200 like to reference the donators in your fantasy football league, 0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:40.560 and I think those are the guys that you kind 0:43:40.600 --> 0:43:43.120 of have to uh reach out to here when it 0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:45.359 comes to the New England Patriots defense. They're gonna see, 0:43:45.440 --> 0:43:47.680 oh my god, this team has so many fantasy points score. 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:51.520 They're they're the eighth overall player right now in fantasy football. 0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:53.800 It's crazy. And I'd love to have this defense on 0:43:53.840 --> 0:43:55.839 my team. And I'm looking at Yahoo leagues right now. 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:58.200 Someone made a trade Greg, not in any leagues that 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.880 I planned, just just there aide market where you can 0:44:00.880 --> 0:44:03.680 see trades that go down in all Yahoo leagues. The 0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.879 Patriots defense for Tyreek Hill. That happened in the league. 0:44:07.000 --> 0:44:10.399 I'm not saying that that's going to happen in your league, 0:44:10.440 --> 0:44:13.320 but I'm just saying there are donators in these leagues. 0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:15.560 Like e Y has referenced there, here's another trade for you, 0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:19.040 New England and Jarvis Landry for the Chicago Bears defense 0:44:19.040 --> 0:44:21.799 and Odell Beckham. You know, people are crazy, man, They 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.719 make crazy trades. And I'm saying if you can try 0:44:24.760 --> 0:44:26.520 and take advantage of those people right now, and you 0:44:26.520 --> 0:44:28.160 can get a player that you're going to start on 0:44:28.200 --> 0:44:30.920 your team every single week in RB two wide receiver 0:44:30.960 --> 0:44:33.440 two for the Patriots defense, then yes, do it. I mean, 0:44:33.560 --> 0:44:37.000 their schedule does get tougher in Lengland this week, Baltimore, 0:44:37.640 --> 0:44:40.239 their bye week is coming up, Philly is coming up, 0:44:40.360 --> 0:44:42.879 Dallas is coming up. I mean, they've already gone through 0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:45.399 the easiest part of their schedule. It only gets tougher 0:44:45.440 --> 0:44:48.120 from here on out. They're probably still gonna be really good, admittedly, 0:44:48.560 --> 0:44:50.480 but it's been a really good schedule for him. We 0:44:50.560 --> 0:44:52.160 got a minute ago, so I w don't give an 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:55.359 update from Pro Football Doc on Josh Jacobs. He says that, 0:44:55.480 --> 0:44:57.680 according to John Gurney, is a legitimate shoulder injury from 0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:00.799 football doc Dr David Chow believes that he probably has 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.359 an a C joint sprain, which means limited He would 0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.320 expect no practice or limited practice all week. By Sunday, 0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:08.760 he should be good to go for his normal amount 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.480 of touches. He also gave us an update on James Conner, 0:45:11.520 --> 0:45:14.040 who said he's not finished last week's or game two 0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:15.920 weeks ago before the bye. He expects that he's deal 0:45:15.960 --> 0:45:18.799 with the quad contusion. He should be already all right 0:45:18.840 --> 0:45:21.080 and ready to go. From Monday night football music to 0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:23.399 my ears, great music to our ears because we own 0:45:23.480 --> 0:45:26.440 James Connor and he's going up against Miami. So you 0:45:26.440 --> 0:45:29.560 want James Conner for that matchup. Absolutely special guest tomorrow 0:45:29.560 --> 0:45:31.680 on the program. It's e y hanging out with us 0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:34.839 on a Friday edition of the show. So Eric Young 0:45:34.880 --> 0:45:38.040 and Frank staffle, I'm Greg Saumur enjoyed Thursday Night football tonight. 0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:44.600 We'll do it all go tomorrow. We hope. I want 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:46.759 to light the lamp on Draft Kings and FanDuel this 0:45:46.920 --> 0:45:50.239 NHL DFS season. Then joined Daily Roado dot Com and 0:45:50.320 --> 0:45:53.600 learned from the best daily fantasy sports players get updated 0:45:53.640 --> 0:45:57.479 Fantasy Hockey projections for NHL DFS, blind combinations, and build 0:45:57.520 --> 0:46:00.360 stacks for tournaments in the Daily Roado NHL d FS 0:46:00.400 --> 0:46:03.520 Lineup Optimizer.

Enter the 0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:09.160 Promo Code action for a ten percent discount. That's promo 0:46:09.200 --> 0:46:17.640 Code action for a ten percent discount. What did happen? 0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:23.560 What did happen? Here's what you missed on the b FPS. 0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:26.320 David Johnson hitting the I R. There is some Twitter 0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:30.080 speculation that that can happen. Really, yes, there is, because 0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:32.120 of the whole Zack Center Alfred Morris there. To me, 0:46:32.160 --> 0:46:33.719 it's like, all right, we're gonna sign both of these 0:46:33.719 --> 0:46:36.560 guys and let the better man win. That's kind of 0:46:36.560 --> 0:46:38.400 what I'm thinking it's going on. We shall see you. 0:46:38.400 --> 0:46:40.360 There might not be a better man between those two. 0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:43.920 It might just both suck really bad. David Johnsons and 0:46:44.000 --> 0:46:46.120 we loved you yesterday you were saying you didn't really 0:46:46.160 --> 0:46:51.759 believe in Ty Johnson. Do you believe now? No, No, 0:46:51.840 --> 0:46:55.520 it hasn't changed. This is he's a fringe guy. Um 0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:59.280 and I do believe um that mckissic will be involved. 0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.040 I think it will be more of a fifty fifty 0:47:01.120 --> 0:47:03.759 kind of split, kind of what we've seen when when 0:47:03.840 --> 0:47:08.480 Johnson went out, Ty Johnson um doesn't like contact. Doesn't 0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:12.320 strike me as a first and second down running back. UM, 0:47:12.400 --> 0:47:14.279 So I think they'll I think they'll split, and I 0:47:14.320 --> 0:47:17.640 think people that went all in on on him are 0:47:17.680 --> 0:47:20.920 going to be sadly, sadly he wondn't been nothing in 0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.200 the league we shared together. For the record, did you 0:47:23.200 --> 0:47:28.200 have a bit like that? I don't remember now I'm 0:47:28.200 --> 0:47:32.200 in too many would not be insignificant, I can, I 0:47:32.239 --> 0:47:33.759 can pull that up for us. But anyway, he keeps 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:36.520 saying a fifty fifties split between Thy Johnson. They just 0:47:36.560 --> 0:47:38.520 promoted Paul Perkins as well, so he might be in 0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:41.040 the mix, But you keep saying fifty fifty split. Last week, 0:47:41.200 --> 0:47:44.080 when Carrie on Johnson went down, Thy Johnson played sixty 0:47:44.600 --> 0:47:46.560 of the snaps. He had fourteen touches. Two of those 0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:48.759 came inside the ten yard line. J D. McKissick only 0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:51.000 had seven touches. So that strikes me more as a 0:47:51.400 --> 0:47:53.799 you know, right on the nose. Sixty five percent for 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.719 Thy Johnson, maybe thirty five percent for everybody else. So 0:47:56.920 --> 0:47:58.960 you know, if you can get fifteen touches around there 0:47:58.960 --> 0:48:01.200 from THI Johnson this week against the New York Giants, 0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:03.080 I think he's working a pretty penny. I mean maybe 0:48:03.120 --> 0:48:05.800 this week. I mean, you know, he's playing the Giants. Sorry, Greg, 0:48:06.480 --> 0:48:09.680 but yeah, it's uh. I'll believe it when I see it. 0:48:09.719 --> 0:48:11.399 I could be wrong, but I don't think I will be. 0:48:12.080 --> 0:48:13.200 You know what, there's a lot of people in the 0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:14.640 same camp as e why Greg. There's a lot of 0:48:14.640 --> 0:48:16.359 people on Twitter, a lot of podcasts that I listened 0:48:16.360 --> 0:48:18.600 to saying this is gonna be a committee, don't get involved. 0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.759 It's gonna be THI Johnson, it's gonna be mckissi. They 0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:23.560 still Perkins Action, little Paul Perkins. They could trade for 0:48:23.640 --> 0:48:25.600 Kenyan Rake, which is the thing that I'm most worried about. 0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:27.399 It's not anybody else that's there right now. They could 0:48:27.440 --> 0:48:29.120 trade from Melvin Gordon. There's all these things up in 0:48:29.120 --> 0:48:30.680 the air as of right now. The way that things sit, 0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.000 I think that Ti Johnson is going to see sixt 0:48:33.200 --> 0:48:35.560 sixty five percent of the snaps and around the same 0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:38.879 amount of the percentage wise of the work as well. 0:48:38.960 --> 0:48:40.879 So I think he's writ in the mix for around 0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:43.960 fifteen touches fifteen sixteen around there. He had four receptions 0:48:44.040 --> 0:48:46.120 last week Harry and Johnson wasn't being used in the 0:48:46.120 --> 0:48:48.080 past game, and and Thi Johnson last week in his 0:48:48.080 --> 0:48:50.239 first game really filling in for carry On was used 0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:51.840 in the past game. So I might be in the 0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:54.719 minority here, Greg, I've had some really massive bids on 0:48:54.760 --> 0:48:57.319 thy Johnson. Last night, we had a forty two dollar 0:48:57.400 --> 0:48:59.840 bid in the pit league. Together we were outbid. He 0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.560 went for fifty two dollars in a one fab league. 0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:04.360 I don't think that my logic was far off. I 0:49:04.360 --> 0:49:06.759 think a lot of people are pretty much in agreement. Like, 0:49:07.040 --> 0:49:09.040 on the aggressive side, you could go as high as 0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.480 fifty percent of your budget. On the lower side, you know, 0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:13.759 thirty percent. I think anywhere in there, and if you 0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:15.719 want to for even cheaper, you feel pretty good about 0:49:15.719 --> 0:49:16.000 that today
