Speaker 1: there's too much going on right now. If if we're
Speaker 1: you know, for talking amongst each other. Here, basketball, World Series, football,
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on, hockey for e y, There's
Speaker 1: a lot going on right now. It's a very busy
Speaker 1: time to be alive. Yeah, I mean there's also other
Speaker 1: things I'll TV to watch. I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking about. I watched El Camino last night. Oh, well
Speaker 1: that's you know you watched that. Yes, it's true. I
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, it's on demand whenever you want
Speaker 1: to watch it. You don't felt like it was airy
Speaker 1: on TV. You had to watch it last night, Greg,
Speaker 1: watch whatever you want. I wanted to watch it last night.
Speaker 1: Well you chose the night with that. Maybe had the
Speaker 1: most going on ever. Well tonight from wrestling to basketball
Speaker 1: to World Series on the DVR. Man, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you say the same thing about al Camino. Waiting two
Speaker 1: weeks to watch al Camino. What do you think? I
Speaker 1: enjoyed it? Um. I was happy to be back in
Speaker 1: the Breaking Bad universe. It was entirely unnecessary. It was
Speaker 1: an unnecessary movie. That's probably be a good way to
Speaker 1: put it. It's fine. Yeah, it was. It felt like
Speaker 1: fan service. It was cool, it was fun, it was
Speaker 1: awesome to see the guys. I wish wrestling gave me
Speaker 1: fans service. That's too much to ask for just making
Speaker 1: a fan service. It's our buddy, Eric, what's top you why?
Speaker 1: That's what I'm knowing for fan service, guys. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: a huge night of sports and I won't want to
Speaker 1: be watching any of it. Me and my wife are
Speaker 1: going to watch Jokers, so oh nice. Also a great movie.
Speaker 1: I saw that a couple of weeks ago. Gave gave
Speaker 1: a little recap of that myself. I thought it was awesome,
Speaker 1: but Walking Phoenix did a great job, So I'll be
Speaker 1: interested to hear your thoughts on it. You y, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I love the Joker character. Uh. D C has
Speaker 1: obviously fallen behind Marvel in uh the printing money process.
Speaker 1: But uh, I heard that this movie is great. It's
Speaker 1: dark and different and that's what Batman should be. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it. I'd like to see the Joker.
Speaker 1: I still haven't gotten a chance. I see that. I'll
Speaker 1: probably wait until it comes out on UM on demand. LaserDisc. Yeah,
Speaker 1: LaserDisc exactly. I was actually reading this morning that Vince
Speaker 1: Gilligan is gonna has the leaded scenes for the Blue
Speaker 1: Rays like the Blue Ray. What are we talking about here?
Speaker 1: So whatever, you're way to get deleted scenes on on
Speaker 1: demand now because if no one is buying anything else,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Do people watch deleted scenes?
Speaker 1: Do you not? Not? Really? I think it's cool to see,
Speaker 1: Like I guess they're probably uploaded on YouTube. I can
Speaker 1: watch them there, but I have to go out of
Speaker 1: my way. I don't know, I really, Yeah, it's no
Speaker 1: interest of mine, to be honest. Yeah. So a couple
Speaker 1: of things I want to get to here on today's
Speaker 1: show where they get to the leftovers here in a
Speaker 1: little bit, we got Virginia Zaki is joining us with
Speaker 1: inside injuries. She makes her return. We'll hit on some
Speaker 1: of these players that, uh, we don't know their status
Speaker 1: for this week, so we'll hit on those guys. Will
Speaker 1: also preview Thursday night football tonight between the Washington football
Speaker 1: team and the Minnesota Vikings. Before we begin, let's get
Speaker 1: to some housekeeping notes, gentlemen. The first of which, or
Speaker 1: the first two of which I should say, involves the
Speaker 1: New England Patriots. The first Josh Gordon placed on IR yesterday,
Speaker 1: a day after this team acquired Mohammed Sanu report goes
Speaker 1: his k need's gonna be healthy enough to go in
Speaker 1: a week or two and at that point he will
Speaker 1: be released from the i R. I mean a free agent.
Speaker 1: There certainly seems to be more to the story here.
Speaker 1: Are you surprised? E y Josh Gordon no longer remember
Speaker 1: on New England? Um, after the Snow thing, I figured
Speaker 1: there was something up. I don't feel like Snow as
Speaker 1: a player that they needed if Gordon was there. Um,
Speaker 1: so I feel like that that was definitely a rack reaction,
Speaker 1: reactionary move by the Patriots. Um, I mean to me,
Speaker 1: I mean Snow. To me, it's more of a wide
Speaker 1: receiver that the Patriots will use that than Gordon and
Speaker 1: gordon skill set. So he was not the same guy
Speaker 1: that we saw a couple of years ago. It was
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. Um, just basically a deep ball guy wasn't
Speaker 1: really used much. Now he's hurt and and look like
Speaker 1: he's done for the season, So we'll see. I think
Speaker 1: Gabe phrases correct. Leag greg Win asked about Josh Gordon.
Speaker 1: He said, you know, the Patriots want reliability and they
Speaker 1: want availability, and Mohammed Sanu has been very reliable for
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. Seems like Philip Dorset has a good
Speaker 1: rapport with Tom Brady as well. We know Julian Edelman
Speaker 1: that goes without saying. So they have their three wide
Speaker 1: receiver sets and nikkil Harry expected to return soon. Looks
Speaker 1: like they have something in Jacoby Myers. I think that
Speaker 1: they kind of like that nucleus that they have now. Uh,
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon was really a luxury, I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think that they really needed him. So this doesn't surprise me.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even gonna ask you, because I know
Speaker 1: you were saying to drop Josh Gordon even before this.
Speaker 1: But I think in deeper leagues I am kind of
Speaker 1: interested to see, you know, where he latches on. You know,
Speaker 1: so in those fourteen team leagues or deeper or you know,
Speaker 1: twelve team leagues like GST where we have eight or
Speaker 1: nine bench spots something like that, where you know, the
Speaker 1: the waiver wire targets left right now are not great,
Speaker 1: there's really not much upside. I think I just kind
Speaker 1: of hold on to Josh Gordon in those deeper leagues
Speaker 1: and see where he winds up. Maybe he winds up
Speaker 1: on a team that really needs wide receiver help New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints something like that. The thing is, the Patriots
Speaker 1: are a team that need wide receiver help. They traded
Speaker 1: a second round pick from Mohamed Sanu and then decided
Speaker 1: to ultimately cut Josh Gordon. The last time they kind
Speaker 1: of did this reminds me of with Randy Moss, right
Speaker 1: Like they went up training Randy Moss. That's Titans, and
Speaker 1: we're like, what the hell is But like we certainly
Speaker 1: seriously said, I remember, yeah, I remember Moss. I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, well, great changes scenery. That Patriots aren't utilizing him,
Speaker 1: maybe he'll be great with the Titans. And he was
Speaker 1: awful with with Tennessee, there was no use of him
Speaker 1: at all. And I think we're gonna see the same
Speaker 1: with Josh Gordon. Wherever he goes will be if he
Speaker 1: was cut, it'll be a hot waiver wire pick up.
Speaker 1: You have people like yourself saying, hey, let's hold on,
Speaker 1: let's see where he goes. And I understand that trepidation,
Speaker 1: but like to me, some of these guys we were
Speaker 1: talking about on the waiver wire earlier this week, even
Speaker 1: a guy like Alex Erickson who have no interest in
Speaker 1: job Johns Gordon for Alex Rickson. Yeah, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon is a must own player by any means.
Speaker 1: It's really just like a case by case, deeper league
Speaker 1: kind of play here where you just kind of hold
Speaker 1: on and see maybe he latches on. Look if he
Speaker 1: ends up with New Orleans, right like, I think that'd
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense with Drew Brees might have
Speaker 1: some some potential there. But ultimately, yeah, it's not a
Speaker 1: must hold by any means. Only deeply. When we come
Speaker 1: back we hit on the leftover some buy or sell
Speaker 1: And another note on the New England Patriots and the
Speaker 1: idiot is Jarvis Lantry. I want to light the lamp
Speaker 1: on Draft Kings and fan duel this NHL DFS season.
Speaker 1: Then joined Daily Rodo dot com and learned from the
Speaker 1: best daily fantasy sports players. Get updated fantasy hockey projections
Speaker 1: for NHL DFS line combinations and build stacks for tournaments
Speaker 1: in the Daily Rodo NHL DFS lineup Optimizer. If you
Speaker 1: are playing daily Fantasy hockey without using Daily Rodo, you
Speaker 1: are doing it wrong. Enter the Promo Code action for
Speaker 1: a ten percent discount. That's promo Code Action for a
Speaker 1: ten percent discount. Sure, there are some things that you
Speaker 1: just don't uh. You know. It's like, hey, you're facing
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. You don't give them bulletin board material,
Speaker 1: like saying I guarantee we're going to beat them this week, Jarvis.
Speaker 1: They're they're undefeated. There's seven and O. Yeah, we're gonna
Speaker 1: beat them. And I get it. You want to have
Speaker 1: an internal confidence. But that one doesn't make sense. Rank Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't get that one either. This game opened up
Speaker 1: with New England lane ten and a half points. It's
Speaker 1: up to thirteen. So we know public betters are usually
Speaker 1: on the Patriots, but it seems like a lot of
Speaker 1: people are on the Patriots this week with the number
Speaker 1: climbing that high. Um, I don't know, you got your
Speaker 1: work cut out for your Jervis Landry. You're going up
Speaker 1: against one of the best secondaries in the league, so
Speaker 1: it's put up for shut up, let's see what happens.
Speaker 1: But ultimately, the way that that offensive line has played
Speaker 1: for Cleveland, I expect Baker Mayfield to be under a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure, probably much like what we just saw
Speaker 1: on Monday night. Baker Mayfield might be seeing some ghosts himself.
Speaker 1: Because you know the Patriots are gonna be bringing house.
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring pressure and see if Baker Mayfield can
Speaker 1: uh can really react to that. And ultimately I think
Speaker 1: the answer will be no. Greg. So I don't really
Speaker 1: know what Jarvis Landry is getting at here. Not the
Speaker 1: right decision by Jarvis Landry. One final note before we
Speaker 1: get to the leftovers. Uh. Dan Felman tweeted this out, Frank,
Speaker 1: I think you gotta kick out of it. Uh. Seven
Speaker 1: ft five Taco Fall, He's now in the concussion protocol
Speaker 1: in the G League. As he hit his head on
Speaker 1: a low ceiling. I was waiting for that other shooting
Speaker 1: drop because I knew something was gonna happen. He had
Speaker 1: to hit his head on something. Uh. That that's that's
Speaker 1: pretty good. Well. Shout out to Taco Fall. I hope
Speaker 1: you are right. Get well suoned, buddy, and and watch
Speaker 1: where you're walking. Last basketball note as well, uh, presidential
Speaker 1: candy Andrew Yang has a whole, like long opinion on
Speaker 1: the Knicks. That's awesome. Is he a Knicks fan or
Speaker 1: Nicks hater? Now he's a Knicks fan. He just doesn't
Speaker 1: understand what they're doing. He's like they have all this time,
Speaker 1: these reclamation projects like Trey Burke and like, and they
Speaker 1: just let them go and sign mide him deals elsewhere.
Speaker 1: And then you bring in all these power forwards and
Speaker 1: instead of just letting players develop, you just giving to
Speaker 1: all these stupid veterans. I was like, he's like, you
Speaker 1: go out. It's like Kevin dur Aunt and missed out
Speaker 1: on him. They just have he goes. I have no
Speaker 1: belief in their process to develop players like you got
Speaker 1: my vote, man Gregg. I don't care about politics whatsoever.
Speaker 1: You know that everybody on this show knows that. Please
Speaker 1: send me that I'd like to read. We'll let you know.
Speaker 1: I'll show it to you. You're gonna read it when
Speaker 1: we get a commercial, because right now it's time for
Speaker 1: the Leftovers. Didn't get your fill from the waiver wire
Speaker 1: now more? The BFFs has your leftovers. Watch this, never mind,
Speaker 1: give me a whole lot of it. The leftover time
Speaker 1: here on a Thursday edition of the bf F. And
Speaker 1: let's begin tonight with a matchup the Minnesota Vikings and
Speaker 1: the Washington football team. You got Adam Fling already ruled out,
Speaker 1: So Frank who is BC Johnson b C Johnson is
Speaker 1: the next wide receiver up for the Minnesota Vikings. He
Speaker 1: played in place of Adam DeLand last week. He had
Speaker 1: eight targets, four receptions for forty yards in a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And the way to attack this Washington defense, well everywhere
Speaker 1: is the secondary specifically. I think Stefon Digg has a
Speaker 1: big game tonight, but I think that if you are
Speaker 1: in a pinch, I think b C. Johnson is out
Speaker 1: there in two wide receiver sets. They've probably run a
Speaker 1: lot of two tight ends as well, but B C.
Speaker 1: Johnson is gonna be on the field a lot. We
Speaker 1: saw the targets last week. I think it's a good
Speaker 1: matchup against Washington. If you are desperate for a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a bad play. E Y, what
Speaker 1: does that desperation represent? Right, at what point are you
Speaker 1: starting this guy tonight against Washington? I feel like you'd
Speaker 1: have to be pretty pretty desperate. But I mean, these
Speaker 1: are are the weeks that we're all desperate, Like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I was texting with you guys earlier and it's, uh,
Speaker 1: I gotta start one of those running backs. And I
Speaker 1: mean this is a kind of the same situation. So
Speaker 1: if you're desperate. I mean, I feel like there are
Speaker 1: worse things that you could do well. I agree, And
Speaker 1: if you desperate a tight end. I've said this a
Speaker 1: lot that I Smith Jr. And Kylie Rudolph on the
Speaker 1: radar tonight against Washington without Adams even in the line up,
Speaker 1: I have a feeling one of these guys that go off.
Speaker 1: Problem is there's two of them, which makes it all
Speaker 1: that much harder. But at this moment, I think if
Speaker 1: you're desperate enough, you can start one of these tight
Speaker 1: ends both as well leftovers here on this waiver Wire week,
Speaker 1: continuing down the leftover list. I imagined him before, and
Speaker 1: it's Alex Erickson for Cincinnati. I dropped Josh Gordon for him.
Speaker 1: Is that a move that you'd endorse? Rank? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: alright with that. You know, if you need help right
Speaker 1: away as well, we don't understand. We don't know where
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon's gonna land ultimately. And Alex Rikson coming off
Speaker 1: a game where he had fourteen targets now going up
Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Rams. Yes, they have Jalen Ramsey.
Speaker 1: I don't think Alex Erickson is gonna be the one
Speaker 1: that gets to Jalen Ramsey treatment is probably more likely
Speaker 1: that Audentate ends up seeing Jalen Ramsey. So they have
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd in the slot, and then they'll have Alex
Speaker 1: Erickson roaming the field as well. But based on his
Speaker 1: snap percentage last week, which was a season high, had
Speaker 1: career highs across the board fourteen targets over a hundred
Speaker 1: receiving yards. They are I think thirteen point underdogs right now.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing from behind. I do have some
Speaker 1: slight interest in Alex Erickson, and it looks like a J.
Speaker 1: Green surprise surprise will not play again this week. I
Speaker 1: have no idea what the Bengals are doing. You should
Speaker 1: be trading a J. Green for anything that you can
Speaker 1: get right now. They also don't know what they're doing,
Speaker 1: so we'll come to the Cincinnati man. It must be
Speaker 1: something about you know, orange on your Jersey's right. The
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals and New York Knicks and New York Mets
Speaker 1: have no idea what they're doing. Cleveland Browns as well,
Speaker 1: nobody has a clue. Greg Let's get rid of the orange.
Speaker 1: As much as I love orange my favorite color, by
Speaker 1: the way, really you don't you don't hear orange of
Speaker 1: the favorite color often, So that'll be That'll be my
Speaker 1: conversation starter for Judy at her wedding. Greg, sure, what's
Speaker 1: your birthday? Yeah, at my birthday, which she will be attending,
Speaker 1: I guess exactly. Okay. Also out there on the wave
Speaker 1: while let me stick to the tight end spot, well,
Speaker 1: Janice Smith talks about a lot e Y and Cameron Braid,
Speaker 1: who I think it's worth bringing up. So just recently,
Speaker 1: like a half hour ago, in my league, someone picks
Speaker 1: up Cameron Braid, actually my opponent picks up Cameron Braid
Speaker 1: with the thought that, hey, o J. Howard may not play,
Speaker 1: let me get Cameron Braid in there, because whenever O J.
Speaker 1: Howard doesn't play, great kind of a sense to a
Speaker 1: tight end one. The problem is O J. Howard this
Speaker 1: year has not been a tight end one because as
Speaker 1: I tried to tell you, Bruce arians doesn't care about
Speaker 1: the tight end. Will that change if Howard's out and
Speaker 1: Braid is in? I mean, Brady has you know, been
Speaker 1: a decent spot start this this year? And I mean
Speaker 1: I feel like history has shown us that that's that's
Speaker 1: the tight end that jameis Winston chooses. Also, O J.
Speaker 1: Howard is a better blocker than Cameron Braid, So when
Speaker 1: they're both on the field, O J. Howard's going to
Speaker 1: block and Cameron Brady is technically just a wide receiver,
Speaker 1: a large bodied wide receiver. So I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't have O J. Howard anywhere. I was telling
Speaker 1: people I think it was a mistake. Arians has never
Speaker 1: utilized the tight end. I don't care how good of
Speaker 1: an athlete he is. If the coach doesn't scheme to
Speaker 1: use that position, then there's no sense of owning him. Uh,
Speaker 1: Cameron Bait, I mean, you know you could stream him
Speaker 1: this week. I feel like the Tennessee defense, like I
Speaker 1: get the flags flying behind me here, but the tender
Speaker 1: if he's defense is really good, Jameis Winston is going
Speaker 1: to be under pressure, um and when he's under pressure,
Speaker 1: he's rotten. So I would I would avoid Braid this
Speaker 1: this week if I could. I know there's the leftover portion,
Speaker 1: but we'll rename it the do over portion, Frank, just
Speaker 1: for for this particular player, and that's Cameron Bright. You're
Speaker 1: all about O J. Howard. You thought that talent would
Speaker 1: overcome scheme. Do you feel the same way that Cameron. Right,
Speaker 1: I like Cameron Braid this week, especially if O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard isner, No, you're not doing do over. You're just
Speaker 1: gonna screw this up again. I'm gonna do I I
Speaker 1: am gonna do this over again, Greggy. And uh, look,
Speaker 1: Cameron Braid has scored touchdowns recently as well. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not largely involved in the game, but they are
Speaker 1: passing the ball a ton, mostly because you know, their
Speaker 1: defense is kind of reverted back to where it's been.
Speaker 1: They have been suffering. But you know, Cameron Braid is
Speaker 1: involved in the game plan. And if O J. Howard
Speaker 1: is not there, you know OJA Howard has seen his
Speaker 1: two to four targets per game. If those start to go,
Speaker 1: Cameron braids away and we're getting you know, six to
Speaker 1: seven targets against the Tennessee Titans. E Y. You're right,
Speaker 1: there are a good defense, but one area that they
Speaker 1: struggle is against tight ends. They're allowing the night most
Speaker 1: fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year. I think
Speaker 1: you know, if O. J. Howard is out, Cameron Braid
Speaker 1: is definitely in play, greg He will be a top
Speaker 1: twelve tight end for me this week. If o J.
Speaker 1: Howard is out and E Y, I just kind of
Speaker 1: wanted to piggyback off something that you said. And I
Speaker 1: think it's a fallacy in coaching right now in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and we've said this for years now. You are right.
Speaker 1: I mean, there are coaches that are stubborn that are
Speaker 1: going to run their offensive system and their scheme no
Speaker 1: matter what players they have. But you'll notice that the
Speaker 1: best offensive minds in the NFL fit their scheme to
Speaker 1: the players that they have. And I think that's something
Speaker 1: that Bruce Arians and the Tampa Bay Bucks have done
Speaker 1: wrong this year. Obviously, I was in on o J.
Speaker 1: Howard and I will admit that I was wrong. He
Speaker 1: has been one of the biggest busts and fantasy football
Speaker 1: so far this season. But I think when you invest
Speaker 1: as much as they did in O J. Howard, even
Speaker 1: though Bruce Arians was not involved whatsoever in the drafting
Speaker 1: of him, you should find ways to get a player
Speaker 1: like that involved us. I think that that is a
Speaker 1: fallacy amongst coaches in the NFL, but a last they
Speaker 1: are coaches for a reason. I am not, but I
Speaker 1: do think that you know, that is something that is
Speaker 1: a downfall of coaches in the NFL. Greg, Absolutely, It's
Speaker 1: not just the NFL there, it's downfall of coaches and
Speaker 1: managers in every sport. How often do we say it, Hey,
Speaker 1: this player in baseball is hot, Why isn't he getting
Speaker 1: more playing time? To you know, this players, it doesn't work. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this player is performing well in basketball. Why isn't he
Speaker 1: part of the rotation? Why doesn't he get more minutes?
Speaker 1: I mean we say this over and over. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes there are things behind the scenes that we don't
Speaker 1: know about. You know, there's a lot of politics involved.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, well, this player was drafted high, this
Speaker 1: player is making this much money. They have to play,
Speaker 1: So there are things that we don't know about. But
Speaker 1: un it's unfortunate. Alright, we'll take a break. Joins us. Next,
Speaker 1: I want to light the lamp on Draft Kings and
Speaker 1: FanDuel this NHL DFS season. Then joined Daily Roado dot

Speaker 1: and I can get off Inside Injuries with Virginia Zakas.
Speaker 1: But a scratch, a scratch, the arms off Inside Injuries Update.
Speaker 1: It's Virginia Zakis, Frank Stamp, Will e Y and myself
Speaker 1: or here as well. Virginia, welcome back at the program.
Speaker 1: Think you. It's good to be that you have an
Speaker 1: intro for you now. So it's brand new. I like
Speaker 1: it all right, cool, So let's get right into it
Speaker 1: here and let's break it down. Last week for the
Speaker 1: New Orlean Stays, both of Alvin Kamara and Jared Cook
Speaker 1: missed time, did not play last week. They have their
Speaker 1: by next week. Will they be out there this Sunday?
Speaker 1: So Alvin Kamara did not practice yesterday, which is not
Speaker 1: a good way to start off the week. Um, he
Speaker 1: was originally listed with ankle and knee injuries. UM, I've
Speaker 1: always been a little more concerned about his ankle than
Speaker 1: his knee, and now he's just listened with that ankle injury.
Speaker 1: So that's what we really need to watch here. UM,
Speaker 1: I do believe it was a mild m c L
Speaker 1: sprain for him, but that should be healed up within
Speaker 1: two weeks. So UM, I think his ankle is what
Speaker 1: might prevent him from playing this weekend. UM. It sounds
Speaker 1: like a mild high ankle sprain. But even if that's
Speaker 1: the case, high ankle sprains are very very difficult to
Speaker 1: fully recover from in just two weeks. UM, if it
Speaker 1: truly is very mild, we're giving him a three week
Speaker 1: optimal recovery time, which means he should sit through the
Speaker 1: bye week. UM. It just doesn't seem like it's worth
Speaker 1: risking it in this situation. So it seems a little
Speaker 1: more doubtful than questionable. UM. Jared Cook also dealing with
Speaker 1: an ankle injury, and we don't know very much about
Speaker 1: his injury. They really just said that it's to his ankle,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of it. UM. So he didn't practice yesterday, obviously,
Speaker 1: not a good way to start off the week. UM,
Speaker 1: it is not looking like he's gonna suit up. UM.
Speaker 1: We don't know which ankle is hurt. But he also
Speaker 1: missed six games in two dozen sixteen with the high
Speaker 1: ankle sprain, and we know that once players suffer pretty
Speaker 1: serious ankle injuries like he has, those ligaments get stretched out,
Speaker 1: leaving them more more susceptible to future ankle injuries. So
Speaker 1: pretty concerned about him this week, but after the bye,
Speaker 1: we think he'll be good to go. As an amateur
Speaker 1: basketball player, Greg who has messed up my my ankles
Speaker 1: multiple times, I can, I can attest to that. Yes,
Speaker 1: I wear I wear races on both of my anks,
Speaker 1: so that is definitely true. We are speaking with Virginia
Speaker 1: zakas of inside injuries. Pay attention to Jared Cook because
Speaker 1: they're going up against the Cardinals and if he can't go,
Speaker 1: then Josh Hill makes for a great play this week
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. Virginia, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you about Devontae Adams and he's not practicing again today
Speaker 1: but on the field stretching for whatever that means. Please
Speaker 1: remind us what Inside Injuries had as the timetable for
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams when you know when should he return and
Speaker 1: you know, are we expecting him back this week? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So from the beginning we've had him listed with a
Speaker 1: grade to turf toe injury. Um. Turf toe is just
Speaker 1: another way of saying a sprain to the main joint
Speaker 1: in the big toe. UM, there's lots of different severities
Speaker 1: of it. His sounds somewhat serious, but not serious enough
Speaker 1: that there's you know, a tear in there that would
Speaker 1: require surgery. UM. So because it's a grade to injury,
Speaker 1: this is going to come with a five week optimal
Speaker 1: recovery time for him. UM. He was hasn't played since
Speaker 1: Week four. That means what you think he'll be healthy
Speaker 1: to return around week nine? UM, back to back d nps.
Speaker 1: When a players already missed a month, that means he
Speaker 1: should not play. UM. They're saying he could be a
Speaker 1: game time decision. But you know, if he's not ready
Speaker 1: to go and at least get in a limited practice
Speaker 1: by winds are Thursday, that means he's not gonna be
Speaker 1: ready to go this weekend. So I really don't think
Speaker 1: you should play. He's still a high injury risk m
Speaker 1: and his health performance factors below average. If he were
Speaker 1: to play, that toe would still affect him accelerating, pushing off, cutting,
Speaker 1: running routes. Pretty much every important part of his game
Speaker 1: would be affected. At this point, Greg, we've already missed
Speaker 1: so much time with Davantae Adams. They might as well
Speaker 1: just hold them out until he's completely healthy. Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: what is there buying, Frank, I don't have it right
Speaker 1: in front of me. But according to Inside Injuries, they
Speaker 1: said week nine should be a good timetable to him.
Speaker 1: But I will I'll pull up I'll pull up the by.
Speaker 1: We can let you know, even two seconds. I can
Speaker 1: also get it up here unless you're doing it first.
Speaker 1: I am here to win this battle. That would be
Speaker 1: by week eleven. I don't think they're going to hold
Speaker 1: them out all the way through that. They might get
Speaker 1: him back by week nine, week ten, get his legs
Speaker 1: underneath him a little bit before hitting that by, and
Speaker 1: then he'll have another week to rest. Then. I don't
Speaker 1: just think that they hold them out all the way
Speaker 1: through week eleven and then return a week twelve. If
Speaker 1: they were going to do that, you should just put
Speaker 1: him on I R. What's all Virginia Zakis here in Virginia.
Speaker 1: Fantasy owners were stunned last Sunday where David Johnson was Uh,
Speaker 1: he was starting until he he wasn't starting anymore, and
Speaker 1: it was a bit of a disaster. Now the Cardinals
Speaker 1: go out and signed to running backs, how serious is injured? DJ? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the team was very misleading over the weekend. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it seemed like he was gonna be good
Speaker 1: to go. He was in there on that first series,
Speaker 1: had to carry, and then he didn't play again. UM.
Speaker 1: I believe that they didn't think he looked right and
Speaker 1: he was maybe in a lot of pain. Um tweaked
Speaker 1: that ankle again on on one of those first few
Speaker 1: plays and then didn't return to the game. So if
Speaker 1: that's the case, UM, you know, pretty concerning to re
Speaker 1: aggravate an injury like that. UM, he didn't practice yesterday,
Speaker 1: obviously not a good sign. UM. We're showing that he
Speaker 1: has a healthy to return date around week nine, although
Speaker 1: depending on how bad but he reinjured his ankle last week,
Speaker 1: that could be pushed back even further if we learn
Speaker 1: more this week. But no surprise, he's a high injury risk.
Speaker 1: His back is also a little bit of a concern
Speaker 1: along with that ankle. UM, and I think it's going
Speaker 1: to be at least another week before we see him
Speaker 1: out there. I agree with Virginia based on seeing them
Speaker 1: signed two running backs. I would be very surprised if
Speaker 1: David Johnson suits up for this week Virginia. We saw
Speaker 1: yesterday that Patrick Mahomes got in a limited practice. They're
Speaker 1: saying he's going to do the same thing again today.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is pretty crazy, no, considering he just
Speaker 1: suffered that knee injury last week, and all the timetables
Speaker 1: that we heard were, you know, maybe two weeks if
Speaker 1: we're optimistic, but probably looking at anywhere from two to
Speaker 1: four weeks. What's going on with Patrick Mahomes And are
Speaker 1: they crazy for letting in practice right now? Yeah? This
Speaker 1: really does not seem smart to me. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: he had that m R I. They said he avoided
Speaker 1: you know, any serious damage UM, which is great, but
Speaker 1: it still indicates that there's some damage to the knee. UM.
Speaker 1: When the nick dislocates, there's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: can happen, but based on what we know so far,
Speaker 1: there's likely a little bit of cartilage damage UM and
Speaker 1: possibly the mpfl UM, the medial patelo femoral ligment could
Speaker 1: have gotten stretched out. UM. I don't think there's a
Speaker 1: major tear in there because that would require surgery, but
Speaker 1: this takes time to heal. UM. There's no way he
Speaker 1: should be back out there in just one week, even
Speaker 1: if it's just a limited practice. UM. We saw one
Speaker 1: video of him kind of moving around in the field
Speaker 1: and he just did not look comfortable. So, you know,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, they're in a position where they can afford
Speaker 1: to have him sit for a few games. UM, and
Speaker 1: that's really what they should do if they want him
Speaker 1: healthy late in the season. If he tries to play
Speaker 1: this week or next, UM, he's going to get a
Speaker 1: very very high risk of re injury. Not only re
Speaker 1: injuring his knee, but you know, he clearly doesn't look
Speaker 1: comfortable moving around and that's putting the rest of his
Speaker 1: body at risk. So we're showing a actually a six
Speaker 1: week optimal recovery time right now. Definitely don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna miss that much time, but he's going to be
Speaker 1: a high injury risk through the month of November. I
Speaker 1: should not return this week. We're next week. We'll see
Speaker 1: how quickly he ultimately makes it back. Uh, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: by still not for a few more weeks. Now we
Speaker 1: twelve by for the Kansas City Chiefs. Talking Virginia, zis
Speaker 1: here all of inside injuries in Virginia. Let me go
Speaker 1: to the NFC North where tonight Adam Feeland has been
Speaker 1: ruled out UM and carry On Johnson has been placed
Speaker 1: on I R. What can you tell us about these
Speaker 1: two NFC North players. Yeah, I think Feeland may have
Speaker 1: had a shot to play if they were playing on Sunday,
Speaker 1: but the quick turnaround in just four days wasn't realistic
Speaker 1: for him. Um m R I showed a mild hamstring
Speaker 1: strain just comes with a two week optimal recovery time. UM.
Speaker 1: He probably won't get back in that low injury risk
Speaker 1: category for at least another three to four weeks, but
Speaker 1: I think there's a very good chance he plays week
Speaker 1: nine UM, and that's what are showing is healthy to
Speaker 1: return date is UM. Now for carry On Johnson, they
Speaker 1: placed him on I R with a knee injury and
Speaker 1: he's undergoing surgery. They haven't said exactly what's going on here,
Speaker 1: but based on the timeline and the fact that they
Speaker 1: think he could return later in the season, this is
Speaker 1: likely a nice scope. UM. I don't think there's ligament damage,
Speaker 1: but it could be to you know, clean out some
Speaker 1: cartilage or to repair some moniscus damage. So if that's
Speaker 1: the case, it is realistic for him to turn return
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks of the season. UM, but
Speaker 1: if it's anything more serious than we uh, we shouldn't
Speaker 1: see him again this year. Virginia, I want to ask
Speaker 1: you about Matt Ryan. This obviously has huge implications on
Speaker 1: the entire Atlanta Falcons offense, most notably Julio Jones, Austin Hooper,
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, Devonte Freeman. You know, if Matt schob is
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the team, we obviously have to
Speaker 1: downgrade all of those weapons. Heading into Week eight, Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan did not practice again today. He's dealing with an
Speaker 1: ankle injury. What do you guys have on Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: Do you expect him to play this week? If not,
Speaker 1: what is his optimal recovery time? So we're showing that
Speaker 1: he should wait around two weeks to return. Um, it
Speaker 1: is possible for a quarterback like Ryan to play through
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain much quicker than you know, a
Speaker 1: running back or a wide receiver might. Patrick Mahomes, you know,
Speaker 1: his has suffered a high ankle sprain a few times
Speaker 1: this season and it is pretty quickly returned. So I
Speaker 1: do think it's possible that he plays, but it's very
Speaker 1: easy to aggravate and it can be made worse very easily.
Speaker 1: So right now it's you know, a milder high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: But if he were to re aggravate it, um land
Speaker 1: awkwardly on it, get hit in a weird way, he
Speaker 1: could suffer ligament damage that could end his season. So
Speaker 1: given where the Falcons are right now, I don't think
Speaker 1: they're going to take a risk with him if he's
Speaker 1: not ready. Um he is someone that can he doesn't
Speaker 1: need to practice this week in order to suit up
Speaker 1: on Sunday, But I just I don't see them running
Speaker 1: him back out there this week. Um it just it
Speaker 1: just isn't worth it. And he's um of course, a
Speaker 1: high injury risk right now, and we'll be at least
Speaker 1: for the next two weeks. One of the top waiver
Speaker 1: wire adds this past week Virginia was and he stills
Speaker 1: and that was because of will Fuller's injury. He gets
Speaker 1: injured every year, and this time it was a hamstring
Speaker 1: that knocked him out in the first quarter this past Sunday.
Speaker 1: How quickly can will Fuller get back on the field
Speaker 1: of for Houston. I think we're looking at a very
Speaker 1: lengthy absence for Fuller. UM. Remember he suffered a torn
Speaker 1: right a c L last year, and it's pretty common,
Speaker 1: unfortunately for players coming back from an A c L
Speaker 1: injury to suffer hamstring injuries. UM. Happened to Dealvin Cook
Speaker 1: last year, it happened to Darius Guys over the summer. Um,
Speaker 1: there's tons of examples of it happening. And on top
Speaker 1: of that, Fuller has a very concerning history of hamstring injuries. UM,
Speaker 1: he also has other You know, he's had a clavical fracture,
Speaker 1: rib fracture surgery on his other knee. UM. He missed
Speaker 1: almost the entire preseason last year with a hamstring injury
Speaker 1: and had multiple strings of two thousand sixteen. Um, we're
Speaker 1: showing a minimum five week optimal recovery time for him,
Speaker 1: so we should not return before week twelve. Virginia, real quick,
Speaker 1: please tell me that Chris Herndon is going to play
Speaker 1: this week for my New York Jets. I think he's
Speaker 1: got a pretty good shot. We have a healthier return
Speaker 1: date around week eight, so I think he can do it.
Speaker 1: I assume he won't, and then the offense will be
Speaker 1: quote unstoppable. As Sam Donald said, Greg he sees ghosts.
Speaker 1: We all do Halloween season. Come on right, she's Virginia
Speaker 1: Zaga has We appreciate the time, Virginia. We'll see you
Speaker 1: next week. All right, when we come back, you while
Speaker 1: rejoin us. We'll hit on Thursday night football between Minnesota

Speaker 1: For the second consecutive week, Josh Jacobs is not practice
Speaker 1: Wednesday and has not practiced Thursday. We'll see about tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but this is beginning to get a little bit if
Speaker 1: he i'd say about Josh Jacob's availability for this week.
Speaker 1: I know you've talked a lot, Frank, and he thought
Speaker 1: he was a Bilow candidate. The schedule really eases up
Speaker 1: for the Raiders against the the rush defenses that they
Speaker 1: will face. Uh, it's Houston here this week. If Josh Jacobs,
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he isn't able to go and he
Speaker 1: doesn't practice tomorrow, Um, the two backups for Oakland or
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard, which one would you pick
Speaker 1: up and would you put him in your line up?
Speaker 1: I would be more apt to pick up DeAndre Washington.
Speaker 1: He has twenty nine carries on the season, which is
Speaker 1: second most on the Oakland Raiders. So I think if
Speaker 1: anything were the where to happen to Josh Jacobs, he
Speaker 1: is the next man up, the one that they would
Speaker 1: slot in there, uh and see most of the early
Speaker 1: down work and see the goal line work once they
Speaker 1: get inside the red zone as well, assuming that they
Speaker 1: get inside the red zone without Josh Jacobs, because he
Speaker 1: has been a huge part of their offense, but their
Speaker 1: offensive line Gregg has played really really well. Uh, specifically
Speaker 1: when it comes to run blocking. The Oakland Raiders are
Speaker 1: fourth in run blocking fourth in adjusted line yards according
Speaker 1: to Football Outsiders. So I would have interest in DeAndre
Speaker 1: Washington as a flex running back if Josh Jacobs were
Speaker 1: not able to go this week. But as you alluded to, Greg,
Speaker 1: he did not practice last week as well and still
Speaker 1: ended up playing and ended up playing really really well
Speaker 1: against Green Bays. So I'm not saying, you know, Josh
Speaker 1: Jacobs isn't gonna play yet, I'm not gonna react too far,
Speaker 1: but maybe if you own him, you might want to
Speaker 1: go out there, uh and grab a dion Drey Washington
Speaker 1: if he's available, Greg, Yeah, j Washington, any running back
Speaker 1: that's a starter. Werena go out and grab if we can.
Speaker 1: You want any interest from you for DeAndre Washington. I
Speaker 1: know you're in a spot we're considering starting Peyton Barbara
Speaker 1: and Kenyan Drake and Miles stand. It's a spot where
Speaker 1: that's why we want to get Josh Jacobs didn't play.
Speaker 1: I would start DeAndre Washington over all those totally. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like every time whatever the
Speaker 1: starting back is down, that Richard and Washington just split
Speaker 1: and there's no way to know. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: depend on game flow. I would imagine that the Raiders
Speaker 1: will be behind and Richard will get more work, like
Speaker 1: maybe not first and a second down, but then we're
Speaker 1: throwing a bunch at the end of the game and
Speaker 1: he's going to be the past catcher. Um. So I
Speaker 1: don't know that that's tough for me to trust at all,
Speaker 1: because every time it comes down to those two, it's
Speaker 1: literally a dart throw, and I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: willing to do that, But like you said, for me,
Speaker 1: I'm in a dart throw regardless, So that will be
Speaker 1: something that I'll definitely consider. And I mean another guy
Speaker 1: that could be in that thing is is Wendell Smallwood
Speaker 1: is well sure, why not? Yeah, they're saying Adrian Peterson
Speaker 1: is questionable for tonight, but everything that I've read says
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play. You know, he wants to get
Speaker 1: back out there against Minnesota in the hashtag revenge game, Greg,
Speaker 1: revenge all around tonight. You can never have this much
Speaker 1: revenge in a single game, uh, that I've ever seen before.
Speaker 1: But tonight we will have all the revenge. So pay
Speaker 1: attention to see if Adrian Peterson is good to go.
Speaker 1: But when the Smallwood the next man up, and it
Speaker 1: seems like Darius Guys is getting closer to returning as well.
Speaker 1: If you want to stash him, now's the time, absolutely,
Speaker 1: now easy, the time to stash. Went to stash. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: Darius Guys. Let's get into Thursday night football here between
Speaker 1: Washington and Minnesota. As you said, Frankie, it is the
Speaker 1: revenge game of all revenge games. Is both quarterbacks in
Speaker 1: a revenge situation. In fact that you know the last
Speaker 1: two times these teams, the last time these two teams played,
Speaker 1: these same quarterbacks started just on the opposite teams. It
Speaker 1: was case Keenum going for Minnesota and Kirk Cousins going
Speaker 1: for Washington. It was a um, it was a magical
Speaker 1: season for Minnesota. Of course that you're a case Keen
Speaker 1: as the starter. Now these two teams will go at
Speaker 1: it again, one team going in one direction of the
Speaker 1: other team obviously going in the other. So tonight, what
Speaker 1: are we expecting in this matchup? I don't think it's
Speaker 1: relatively close here, and I think that's reflected in the
Speaker 1: spread as well. This game opened up with Minnesota lane fourteen.
Speaker 1: It's up to sixteen and a half. Wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if it gets up to seventeen before game time here, Greg,
Speaker 1: And you're right, it's two teams that are going in
Speaker 1: opposite directions. The Minnesota Vikings have won three games in
Speaker 1: a row, and in those three games, you know, since
Speaker 1: Adam Feland called out Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins is the
Speaker 1: first quarterback in NFL history to throw for three hundred
Speaker 1: plus yards and post a quarterback rating of one and
Speaker 1: thirty five or higher in three consecutive games. So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that he will have to throw as much tonight,
Speaker 1: but I can see him putting up you know, to
Speaker 1: fifty to two seventy multiple touchdowns. You know, maybe if
Speaker 1: he really wants to lay it on Dan Snyder and Washington,
Speaker 1: he throws for a third touchdown, but the secondary for
Speaker 1: Washington is not good, and they're saying Josh Norman is
Speaker 1: questionable for tonight. Ultimately, I think that ends up helping
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. He is not the player that he
Speaker 1: wants was. I think Stefon Diggs is in a really
Speaker 1: good spot to have him as a top twelve wide receiver. Again,
Speaker 1: if you're desperate, b C. Johnson is going to be
Speaker 1: filling in for four Adam Feeling. The tight ends are
Speaker 1: going to play as well. They each had six targets
Speaker 1: last week. Kyle Rudolph got into the end zone last week.
Speaker 1: I like the over for both Dalvin Cook and Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison tonight. The over under for Dalvin Cook's rushing yards
Speaker 1: ninety and a half. He has ran for over a
Speaker 1: hundred yards in five of seven games this year, so
Speaker 1: I do like that number for him. And if you
Speaker 1: think it gets out of hand, Alexander Madison his prop
Speaker 1: his thirty six and a half greg and he has
Speaker 1: cleared that in four of seven games. And you know,
Speaker 1: if they're up two or three scores at the end
Speaker 1: of this one in the fourth quarter, then maybe we
Speaker 1: see more of Alexander Madison as well. On the other side,
Speaker 1: I don't really like case Keena much, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: outside of a super flex where you're really desperate. I
Speaker 1: still do like Terry mcle or in though they're likely
Speaker 1: trailing points in this game, Greg, And last week we
Speaker 1: just saw Marvin Jones have a four touchdown performance against
Speaker 1: this Vikings defense. They have allowed eleven touchdowns to wide receivers.
Speaker 1: That is tied for most in the NFL. So, you know,
Speaker 1: Xavier roads, it used to be roads closed. It's not
Speaker 1: that case anymore. It's more like bumpy roads nowadays, country roads,
Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call it. Greg. Terry McLaurin I think
Speaker 1: is a low end wide receiver two here tonight. I
Speaker 1: don't want to get involved with anybody else in Washington.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do the Adrian Peterson thing. I
Speaker 1: understand he has twenty carries and back to back games,
Speaker 1: but ultimately the only name that I'm looking at tonight
Speaker 1: on Washington side is Terry McLaurin. Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I'm not listen if Adrian Peterson doesn't play and you're
Speaker 1: the spot like Eric is, then maybe you start window smaller.
Speaker 1: But there Adrian Peterson is going to be active. We'll
Speaker 1: see how effective he ultimately is. From Minnesota's for Minnesota tonight. However,
Speaker 1: I think Stefon Dixon and play. I think, hey, Kyle
Speaker 1: Rudolph and IRV Smith are in play as well. Do
Speaker 1: you prefer I'm starting IRV Smith in and and if
Speaker 1: they're t league tonight? Really desperate, I had Delaney Walker
Speaker 1: as my tight end. Did you choose I Smith over
Speaker 1: Kyli Rodoff? So it's funny you bring that up because
Speaker 1: I have I have will I hope you asked because
Speaker 1: I have a I have a co owner of this team,
Speaker 1: and he prefers if Smith to Kyrodolf. I probably would
Speaker 1: have went with Kyrodolph. He plays more snaps, he runs
Speaker 1: more routes. With this co owner is your funder. Co
Speaker 1: owner is the funder. So what he says goes, We're
Speaker 1: going with if Smith. So I wanted to start for
Speaker 1: earlier in the week. You knew that. He talked me
Speaker 1: out of it, like you the numbers talking to me
Speaker 1: out of it because its Kyl rudof get the majority
Speaker 1: of snaps. Is Kyli roudof majority of the routes the
Speaker 1: touchdown last week and Kyroff hasn't done anything all year.
Speaker 1: Last week was the first touchdown he scored all seasons. So, um,
Speaker 1: it's not like the slam dunk play. But if you
Speaker 1: think that they're going to be passing the ball a
Speaker 1: little bit tonight there's no Adam feeling, then the tight
Speaker 1: ends are likely involved. We'll see what happens, uh in
Speaker 1: this one over to you, e y, what do you
Speaker 1: think about these tight ends? Would just start anybody else
Speaker 1: from Washington other than Terry McLaurin. I mean, you don't
Speaker 1: even have Frank telling us about Paul Richards in this week,
Speaker 1: so that's a good week. What would you do in
Speaker 1: this matchup tonight? Yeah? For me, McLaren is the only
Speaker 1: guy that I would use for Washington. Um, I've got
Speaker 1: him on a few teams and I'm hoping that he
Speaker 1: shows up big like he has been. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think that's been a massive surprise. A rookie wide receiver
Speaker 1: on on on a dismal offense with Case Keaton throwing
Speaker 1: the ball has been getting it done basically every week.
Speaker 1: So that's the guy I'll definitely start um and I
Speaker 1: mean it, look the reality has his Kirk comes does
Speaker 1: looked good the last couple of weeks, he looked really good.
Speaker 1: So Stefon Diggs is a must start for me for sure. Uh.
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is an absolute beast um and and I
Speaker 1: would uh, I would be if you have Cook and
Speaker 1: Madison's available, which I'm sure he's not, but if he's
Speaker 1: available out there, hold onto that guy because Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: he's got a history of injuries and Madison could be
Speaker 1: a top ten running back if Cook goes down. Shout
Speaker 1: out to the close of Chris Venture coming up with
Speaker 1: the Dreaded Duo. We really like that nickname here for
Speaker 1: both of these guys, Dalvin Cook and Alexander Madison. I
Speaker 1: think it's a good spot for both of these guys, Tonight, Craig.
Speaker 1: From a betting perspective, this game is tough, man, because
Speaker 1: the spread just keeps rising and rising and you don't
Speaker 1: really expect it to be close. But you know there
Speaker 1: are some holes right now in the Vikings secondary, so
Speaker 1: maybe you get a backdoor cover from Washington. It's just
Speaker 1: there's so many points. As Gabe likes to say, you're
Speaker 1: not gonna go You're not gonna get rich betting on
Speaker 1: double digit favorites in the NFL. No, you're not. This
Speaker 1: year more However, this year, more often than not, there's
Speaker 1: double digit favorites have covered the spread, as we saw
Speaker 1: earlier in the year with New England with Dallas facing
Speaker 1: off against Miami. Um, I won't tell what was that.
Speaker 1: There's a fly around here. I was trying to I
Speaker 1: was trying to shoot him away. I was not telling
Speaker 1: you to stop talking, Greg, I was trying to shoot
Speaker 1: a fly away. He was going like this, he's just
Speaker 1: shooting me. Get out of here, Greg, give us some
Speaker 1: hard hitting analysis. Well, I was gonna tell you that tonight.
Speaker 1: Week eight. I am still in my survivor pool, which
Speaker 1: is great. I'm going on STA tonight. I think that
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. You know, it's one of
Speaker 1: the biggest spreads, the biggest bread on the board right now.
Speaker 1: I like the Vikings defense tonight. We didn't talk about that,
Speaker 1: and defensive stream if they're available, I do like them
Speaker 1: a decent bit here against Washington. They should be able
Speaker 1: to get some pressure on case Keen. I'm really glad
Speaker 1: you brought up defensive stream here because I wasn't suggest
Speaker 1: day we didn't really get a chance to. And that's
Speaker 1: the reallyand defense. So as I said, with the seventh
Speaker 1: ranked scorers in all of fantasy football this year, if
Speaker 1: you have the New England Patriots defense, would you treat
Speaker 1: them away right now? Anyway? I mean all depends on
Speaker 1: what you're gonna get. You mean, I think there are
Speaker 1: leagues where you could say, like, look like this is
Speaker 1: you know, a top ten scoring player basically, I mean
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of players, but it's one single position,
Speaker 1: and there's people that would one. They don't want the
Speaker 1: headache of trying to find one every week. Uh that
Speaker 1: that person is me. But I'm not going to trade
Speaker 1: away anything important for New England or the defense. I
Speaker 1: look at they've been great. But has there been a
Speaker 1: software schedule for any team in the NFL then the
Speaker 1: Patriots up to this point, and look, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: get super difficult going forward. Somehow they have like one
Speaker 1: of the easiest schedules. Uh, the rich get richer. Now
Speaker 1: they've got Mohammed Sanu and I can't wait for West
Speaker 1: Welker to throw a pass to him and then him
Speaker 1: throw one back to West Welker and then score a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So it's a I mean, it's infuriating. It was being
Speaker 1: not a Patriots fan. They're just good. Every year you
Speaker 1: can bet against him. But I'm not trading anything significant.
Speaker 1: If someone wants to give them up for for a
Speaker 1: bench player or something like that, which is probably not
Speaker 1: going to happen, I would do it, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going to give up something it's significant for the for
Speaker 1: a defense. I do agree with e Y that I
Speaker 1: would not be trying to acquire New England. But you
Speaker 1: like to reference the donators in your fantasy football league,
Speaker 1: and I think those are the guys that you kind
Speaker 1: of have to uh reach out to here when it
Speaker 1: comes to the New England Patriots defense. They're gonna see,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this team has so many fantasy points score.
Speaker 1: They're they're the eighth overall player right now in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. And I'd love to have this defense on
Speaker 1: my team. And I'm looking at Yahoo leagues right now.
Speaker 1: Someone made a trade Greg, not in any leagues that
Speaker 1: I planned, just just there aide market where you can
Speaker 1: see trades that go down in all Yahoo leagues. The
Speaker 1: Patriots defense for Tyreek Hill. That happened in the league.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's going to happen in your league,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying there are donators in these leagues.
Speaker 1: Like e Y has referenced there, here's another trade for you,
Speaker 1: New England and Jarvis Landry for the Chicago Bears defense
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham. You know, people are crazy, man, They
Speaker 1: make crazy trades. And I'm saying if you can try
Speaker 1: and take advantage of those people right now, and you
Speaker 1: can get a player that you're going to start on
Speaker 1: your team every single week in RB two wide receiver
Speaker 1: two for the Patriots defense, then yes, do it. I mean,
Speaker 1: their schedule does get tougher in Lengland this week, Baltimore,
Speaker 1: their bye week is coming up, Philly is coming up,
Speaker 1: Dallas is coming up. I mean, they've already gone through
Speaker 1: the easiest part of their schedule. It only gets tougher
Speaker 1: from here on out. They're probably still gonna be really good, admittedly,
Speaker 1: but it's been a really good schedule for him. We
Speaker 1: got a minute ago, so I w don't give an
Speaker 1: update from Pro Football Doc on Josh Jacobs. He says that,
Speaker 1: according to John Gurney, is a legitimate shoulder injury from
Speaker 1: football doc Dr David Chow believes that he probably has
Speaker 1: an a C joint sprain, which means limited He would
Speaker 1: expect no practice or limited practice all week. By Sunday,
Speaker 1: he should be good to go for his normal amount
Speaker 1: of touches. He also gave us an update on James Conner,
Speaker 1: who said he's not finished last week's or game two
Speaker 1: weeks ago before the bye. He expects that he's deal
Speaker 1: with the quad contusion. He should be already all right
Speaker 1: and ready to go. From Monday night football music to
Speaker 1: my ears, great music to our ears because we own
Speaker 1: James Connor and he's going up against Miami. So you
Speaker 1: want James Conner for that matchup. Absolutely special guest tomorrow
Speaker 1: on the program. It's e y hanging out with us
Speaker 1: on a Friday edition of the show. So Eric Young
Speaker 1: and Frank staffle, I'm Greg Saumur enjoyed Thursday Night football tonight.
Speaker 1: We'll do it all go tomorrow. We hope. I want
Speaker 1: to light the lamp on Draft Kings and FanDuel this
Speaker 1: NHL DFS season. Then joined Daily Roado dot Com and
Speaker 1: learned from the best daily fantasy sports players get updated
Speaker 1: Fantasy Hockey projections for NHL DFS, blind combinations, and build
Speaker 1: stacks for tournaments in the Daily Roado NHL d FS
Speaker 1: Lineup Optimizer. If you are playing daily Fantasy Hockey without
Speaker 1: using Daily Rhodo, you are doing it wrong. Enter the
Speaker 1: Promo Code action for a ten percent discount. That's promo
Speaker 1: Code action for a ten percent discount. What did happen?
Speaker 1: What did happen? Here's what you missed on the b FPS.
Speaker 1: David Johnson hitting the I R. There is some Twitter
Speaker 1: speculation that that can happen. Really, yes, there is, because
Speaker 1: of the whole Zack Center Alfred Morris there. To me,
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, we're gonna sign both of these
Speaker 1: guys and let the better man win. That's kind of
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking it's going on. We shall see you.
Speaker 1: There might not be a better man between those two.
Speaker 1: It might just both suck really bad. David Johnsons and
Speaker 1: we loved you yesterday you were saying you didn't really
Speaker 1: believe in Ty Johnson. Do you believe now? No, No,
Speaker 1: it hasn't changed. This is he's a fringe guy. Um
Speaker 1: and I do believe um that mckissic will be involved.
Speaker 1: I think it will be more of a fifty fifty
Speaker 1: kind of split, kind of what we've seen when when
Speaker 1: Johnson went out, Ty Johnson um doesn't like contact. Doesn't
Speaker 1: strike me as a first and second down running back. UM,
Speaker 1: So I think they'll I think they'll split, and I
Speaker 1: think people that went all in on on him are
Speaker 1: going to be sadly, sadly he wondn't been nothing in
Speaker 1: the league we shared together. For the record, did you
Speaker 1: have a bit like that? I don't remember now I'm
Speaker 1: in too many would not be insignificant, I can, I
Speaker 1: can pull that up for us. But anyway, he keeps
Speaker 1: saying a fifty fifties split between Thy Johnson. They just
Speaker 1: promoted Paul Perkins as well, so he might be in
Speaker 1: the mix, But you keep saying fifty fifty split. Last week,
Speaker 1: when Carrie on Johnson went down, Thy Johnson played sixty
Speaker 1: of the snaps. He had fourteen touches. Two of those
Speaker 1: came inside the ten yard line. J D. McKissick only
Speaker 1: had seven touches. So that strikes me more as a
Speaker 1: you know, right on the nose. Sixty five percent for
Speaker 1: Thy Johnson, maybe thirty five percent for everybody else. So
Speaker 1: you know, if you can get fifteen touches around there
Speaker 1: from THI Johnson this week against the New York Giants,
Speaker 1: I think he's working a pretty penny. I mean maybe
Speaker 1: this week. I mean, you know, he's playing the Giants. Sorry, Greg,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's uh. I'll believe it when I see it.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I don't think I will be.
Speaker 1: You know what, there's a lot of people in the
Speaker 1: same camp as e why Greg. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: people on Twitter, a lot of podcasts that I listened
Speaker 1: to saying this is gonna be a committee, don't get involved.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be THI Johnson, it's gonna be mckissi. They
Speaker 1: still Perkins Action, little Paul Perkins. They could trade for
Speaker 1: Kenyan Rake, which is the thing that I'm most worried about.
Speaker 1: It's not anybody else that's there right now. They could
Speaker 1: trade from Melvin Gordon. There's all these things up in
Speaker 1: the air as of right now. The way that things sit,
Speaker 1: I think that Ti Johnson is going to see sixt
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the snaps and around the same
Speaker 1: amount of the percentage wise of the work as well.
Speaker 1: So I think he's writ in the mix for around
Speaker 1: fifteen touches fifteen sixteen around there. He had four receptions
Speaker 1: last week Harry and Johnson wasn't being used in the
Speaker 1: past game, and and Thi Johnson last week in his
Speaker 1: first game really filling in for carry On was used
Speaker 1: in the past game. So I might be in the
Speaker 1: minority here, Greg, I've had some really massive bids on
Speaker 1: thy Johnson. Last night, we had a forty two dollar
Speaker 1: bid in the pit league. Together we were outbid. He
Speaker 1: went for fifty two dollars in a one fab league.
Speaker 1: I don't think that my logic was far off. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are pretty much in agreement. Like,
Speaker 1: on the aggressive side, you could go as high as
Speaker 1: fifty percent of your budget. On the lower side, you know,
Speaker 1: thirty percent. I think anywhere in there, and if you
Speaker 1: want to for even cheaper, you feel pretty good about
Speaker 1: that today
