1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show, Me and your Man MG Marcus Grants,

3
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like NEO in the matrix,

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: and this is it. This is the last day of

5
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: the fantasy regular season in most leagues, so we will

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: have a little bit of advice to try to help you.

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: If you were on the bubble, if you need something

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: to happen in Monday night football to get you into

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: the postseason, we will do our best to try and

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: get you there. We got plenty of other stuff to

11
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: talk about, but of course, as always, we are joined

12
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: by producer Justin and the Specialist, a cast of dozens

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: that help us get ready for the show and joining

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: me here on screen as always. And I'm happy to

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: see him after I know that he and uh thousands

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: of others in Bill's Mafia had their heart ripped out

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: by Tom Brady for the thirty third time uh in

18
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's professional football existence. It's Michael le Florio. I'm

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: happy to see you, pal. I am sorry for what

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,279
Speaker 1: happened to your football team yesterday. How did you spend

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: the evening? I was I said last week that like

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: that was the most frustrating regular season loss. This week

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: has easily topped that. And uh, you know, when something

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: happens thirty two times previously, the thirty third times shouldn't hurt,

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: Like I should just be used to it, But nope,

26
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: here we are. I'm still getting my heart ripped out

27
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: by Tom Brady. I mean, I guess it has to

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: be worse though, because at first, you know, they were

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: they were kind of getting blown out early, and then

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: they come back and and it looks like they were

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: and maybe have a chance to take the lead late,

32
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: they go to overtime and then it happens. Um, I

33
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: think it's the how more than the what has to

34
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: hurt right now? I think so the fact that they

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: came storming back, that they made the stops on defense

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: when they had to make it. And I know the

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: officials are taking the brunt of it from Bill's mafia

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: right now and they kind of deserve it. But I

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: it's giving Sean McDermott a pass for like punting midfield

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: fourth and two in overtime, giving the ball to Tom Brady,

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: Like we all know how that story ends. Don't do it,

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: don't do it, you would think that after all these years,

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: people would learn, but no, people have not learned. Speaking

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: of which, though, Marcus, at that same exact point in time,

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: your team had an amazing comeback. They did. And it's

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: funny because you know, like I have a text change

47
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: with some friends or own Niners fans, and um, you know,

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: just just watching the Niners try to, you know, battle

49
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 1: in that game. I mean, a lot of my friends

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: were sort of resigned that that somehow Jimmy was going

51
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: to blow it right. They're either gonna be a pick

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: six or a strip sack fumble returned to the house,

53
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: or even after Robbie Gold, you know, missed the field

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: goal at the end of regulation that would have won it.

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: I got a text it's like incoming Jamaar Chase touchdown.

56
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Like it just there was such a pessimism and so

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: there was like kind of a quiet relief when the

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Niners somehow got it done, and so their playoff hopes

59
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: still very much alive at at seven and six right now.

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: So you guys are playing really good ball right now,

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: and all of your big pieces are healthy and clicking

62
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: on offense so and and working in weird ways like

63
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is no longer a receiver, Like he lines

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: up a receiver, but they don't throw him the football anymore.

65
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: Um So, I don't know Kyle Shanahan's figuring out how

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: to make it work, but yeah, it's been, it's been

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: kind of and it was. It really was a tale

68
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: of to to fan bases at pretty much the same

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: point in time yesterday. All Right, we got a lot

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: happening on the show today. We will let you know

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: who might leave some coal in your fantasy stocking as

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: we play Santa or Crampus. A little bit later on

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: in the show, we'll have some waiver wire options for

74
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: the start of the fantasy playoffs, and as I mentioned,

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: we will preview what is a huge Monday night game

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: down in the desert between the Los Angeles Rams and

77
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. But first, let's start off with some

78
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines, as we always do, and let's start with

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, who, as Prucer Justin mentioned, for the

80
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: show last Monday, they played the Patriots who decided to

81
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: do nothing but run the football. Then this week the

82
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Bills go on and take on the Buccaneers and decide,

83
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: you know what, we're just gonna sling the ball all

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: over the lot and not really try to run it. Uh,

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Bills running backs combined for seven total carries in the

86
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: ball game. It was the Josh Allen Show through and through.

87
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: So now that we've gotten to this point Florio and

88
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: we've dealt with surprise and actives, We've dealt with Matt

89
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Brita's some suddenly popping up out of nowhere late in

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: the season, are we just dropping Bills running backs right now?

91
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, Devin Singletary surprisingly played the

92
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: second mill snaps of any running back this past week

93
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: at eight six percent. Only Naji Harris was higher. I

94
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: was shocked to see that, but just four carries. He

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: did have seven targets. But again, even with the six

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: catches for thirty seven yards, we're not talking of a huge,

97
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: great like fantasy game. I think the only like Brita

98
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: can clearly be dropped. Zach Mollis is inactive every week,

99
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: he can be dropped. The Singletary is the one that

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: people have kind of been holding onto, but I don't

101
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: think he's getting anywhere near enough volume to warrant holding

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: onto at this point. The Bills have some tough matchups.

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: The only thing maybe giving him some some reason to

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: for people not to drop him is Josh Allen's in

105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: a walking boot, So just in case he doesn't play

106
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: next week, I guess we would see more running. But

107
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: even so, I wouldn't feel confident starting them. So if

108
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: that's the case, then I think you dropped him. I

109
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: mean you you know how I feel about Devin Singletary.

110
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: I like him. It just seems like the Bills make

111
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: it hard for us to to believe in him and

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 1: trust him. And that's how I felt when it was

113
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: just a two man bankfield with Singletary and Zach Moss.

114
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Now that Matt Brita is somehow in the mix, uh,

115
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: it just is really frustrating. And then if if they're

116
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: going to do what they did on Sunday and just

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: not involve their running backs, it does make it hard

118
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: to make the case for them. I I can't completely

119
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: quit Devin Singletary because I think he's talented. I just

120
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, I would like for him to score more touchdowns.

121
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: And it appears that that the Bills don't agree with me. Um,

122
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: so maybe it is time. Maybe it's just time to

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: let go at this point in the season. Obviously there

124
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: are fewer teams that are involved in fantasy at this

125
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: point once you hit the playoffs, So I don't know

126
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: that people will be clamoring for either Bills running backs, uh,

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: if you have them out there on the waiver wire.

128
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, maybe it's just time to say goodbye and

129
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: we try again in two. Uh. In Baltimore, things looking

130
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: rough for the Ravens right now. They lose a tight

131
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: game to the Cleveland Browns. Uh. They're still kind of

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 1: hanging on at the top of the a f C North,

133
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 1: but it is a very tenuous position, not helped by

134
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: the fact that Lamar Jackson was carted off the field

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 1: on Sunday with what's being called an ankle injury. Now

136
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: we don't know at the time of recording this show

137
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: how severe it is, but look, we saw Tyler Huntley

138
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: come in, who made some nice place kind of got

139
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens close in this one. But also, I mean

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: it's it's sort of Tyler Huntley. You can't expect the

141
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: same level of production. So if if if Lamar Jackson

142
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: misses time, how do we feel about the rest of

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: this Baltimore offense? Not great? I think I think you

144
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: would have to. You would be able to keep starting

145
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews because even yesterday he saw a good amount

146
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: of volume from both quarterbacks and again tight end UH.

147
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: And then I think DeVonta Freeman has low key been

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: pretty productive. I think he would remain like a low

149
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: nd RB two or flex option with a little bit

150
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: more upside than that. The receivers, though, I like markeys

151
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Brown has been so up and down. Rachade Bateman had

152
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: his best game of the year with Huntley and all

153
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: of its production came from Huntley. None was with Lamar Jackson,

154
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: so maybe he gets a slight boost there. Maybe they

155
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: have that report, But still I think I would be

156
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: trusting those guys more as like wide receiver threes or

157
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: flex options. I wouldn't. I would not feel great about

158
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: those Ravens receivers. But the one thing for for Lamar Jackson,

159
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: and I think it kind of plays in We were

160
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: just talking about the Bills with Josh Allen being in

161
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: a walking boot. These are two teams that, like their

162
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: playoff UH lives are very much up in the air,

163
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: so I think that kind of maybe we'll push them

164
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: to try to play through with an injury but again,

165
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: we're only speculating here. We have six more days before

166
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: we find out what's gonna happen with these two. When

167
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Lamar came back a few weeks ago, he had a

168
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: down game and I think you mentioned this on Fantasy Live,

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: and he was basically trying to play through an illness

170
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: and he admitted that, you know, he was not a

171
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: hundred percent, and it sort of showed in that one.

172
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: And you sort of wonder the same thing because such

173
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: a big part of Lamar's game is his mobility and

174
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: his ability to run get out of the pocket. If

175
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: he is playing on a bad ankle, how much does

176
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: that limit that throw in the fact that their next

177
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: opponent is the Packers, and that is not uh you look,

178
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: we saw them. Uh you know, they sort of struggled

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the first half against the Bears, gave up some big plays,

180
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: but in the second half they clamped down on that

181
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: Chicago offense. And that just seems like bad news. So

182
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: maybe it is just sort of the Mark Andrews DeVante

183
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: Freeman show. And there's nobody else that you can really

184
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: believe in, whether that is Tyler Huntley a quarterback or

185
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: a less than one. Lamar Jackson. Uh, it is awful

186
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: timing for the Ravens. It is awful timing for fantasy managers.

187
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: But it is certain that we will keep an eye

188
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: on this situation and try to figure out how things

189
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: are as we progress through the rest of the week. Uh.

190
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: In New York, the one recent bright spot in their

191
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: offense seems to be gone for the foreseeable future. Elijah

192
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Moore has been placed on injured reserve with a quad injury. So, uh,

193
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: it happened earlier in the week, it happened before Sunday's game,

194
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: So he's going to miss at least three games. That

195
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: puts him out weeks fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen for sure.

196
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: Uh So, right now, Florio best case scenario is everything

197
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: gets better and he comes back and he plays week seventeen.

198
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: But you know, then it in the Jets are completely

199
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: out of it. Maybe they don't rush him back. Is

200
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: he droppable at this point? I think so unless you're

201
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: really desperate at receiver and you have that week's sevent

202
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: team game against the Bucks circled is like I need

203
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: Alijah more back in my lineup, Like I think you

204
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: can drop him because what level of confidence are you

205
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: gonna have with him coming off the i R first

206
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: game back, You're you're trusting Zack Wilson in the Jets offense,

207
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: You're trusting Elijah More to stay healthy. And I think

208
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks at that point would realize like, hey, this

209
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: is the one piece we need to really take away

210
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: from the Jets. So I think at this point, really

211
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: he is droppable. And I think it doesn't have to

212
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: be said, but just like any player who goes on

213
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: I R from here on out is going to miss

214
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: the entire fantasy playoffs. So if a player lands on

215
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: the i R now they are completely droppable and get

216
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: them off your fantasy roster. The other part of, you know,

217
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: the Elijah More potential for Week seventeen is that as

218
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: a fantasy manager, you gotta make it to week seventeen

219
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: for to even be a possibility. You mean, I don't know.

220
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: I think at this point I would much rather have

221
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: that roster spot available to a player that I feel

222
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: like it's gonna be, you know, have potential to score

223
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: me fantasy points, and right now that's just not Elijah More. So, Uh,

224
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a frustrating and disappointing into his

225
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: rookie season, especially because he was really starting to blossom

226
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: the last few weeks and we're starting to get a

227
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: sense of what he can do. But it appears, at

228
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: least for our selfish fantasy purposes, that his season is over.

229
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Uh and we will turn the page for for him

230
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: for two um. And Yeah, well, I was gonna say

231
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: what you were saying about that roster spot, like we're

232
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: in the playoffs now, you could peek ahead if you

233
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: stream quarterbacks or defenses or whatever and get one of

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: those on your roster a week in advance or something

235
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: like that. I would rather use the roster spot for

236
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: that than hope Elijah More returns. Absolutely. I mean I

237
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: guess maybe if you have an I R spot then

238
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: then I get the point. But if if you don't, um,

239
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: I think you can just say goodbye and use that

240
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: roster spot for somebody who is actually available in the

241
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: next few weeks. UM. Other injury news or a couple

242
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: of rapid fire things. Kareem Hunt left the game for

243
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: the Browns with an ankle injury. The latest update is

244
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: that it does not look good for him to play

245
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: this week. The Browns play on Saturday against the Las

246
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders. At least as of Monday morning, it does

247
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: not look good for Kareem Hunt to be available for

248
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: that one. Austin Ekeler suffered an ankle injury in the

249
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: Chargers big win over the Giants on Sunday, really sat

250
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: out most of the fourth quarter. Will keep an eye

251
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: on that. You wonder, you know, if it were a

252
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: different situation, would he have tried to gut it out?

253
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: Don't know. Uh. They've got a game on Thursday night

254
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs that is a huge one, uh, in

255
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the a f C West, in the a f C

256
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: in general, So we'll see if Heckler is going to

257
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: be available for that. Taylor Heineke suffered a knee injury

258
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: in the loss to Dallas. Keep an eye on that

259
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: one as well. And then Terry McLaurin, this is a big,

260
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: big one for the Washington football team. Left that game

261
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: very early with a concussion. So he will be in

262
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: the protocol and certainly for Washington say they hope that

263
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: he will be available for them coming up this week.

264
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: All right, that gets us two things we learned four

265
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: week fourteen, our takeaways from what we saw on the field,

266
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: and for you what did you pull out of this

267
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: week's action. It pains me to say it, but Sae

268
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley is just like a low upside RB two

269
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm not saying that like you can

270
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: fully get away from him because of the volume he

271
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: gets each week. But this was a great matchup for him.

272
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: He only rushed for just over sixty yards. He really

273
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,959
Speaker 1: had that late garbage time touchdown save his day, and

274
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: if you take that away, he's sitting and around eleven

275
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy points like and that's kind of what he's been

276
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: ever since he's returned from his ankle injury. And I

277
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: was hopeful that yesterday would have been better because one,

278
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: it was a really good matchup. We saw him have

279
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: nine targets the week before from Mike Lennon and he

280
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: was saying before the game, this is the healthiest I've

281
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: been in a long time. It still looked like the

282
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: same same old sea Quon that we've been getting the

283
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So I think because of volume,

284
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: you probably still have to start him, and the Giants

285
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 1: matchups coming up aren't awful, but he is not an

286
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: RB one anymore, and I think that was evident yesterday Yeah,

287
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: that yesterday was supposed to be a day where se

288
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: Kwan looked somewhat like the old say Quan Uh, and

289
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: that that hasn't happened, that looked. The Giants offense as

290
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: a whole is a mess right now. But we sort

291
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: of thought that maybe he was the one guy we

292
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: could count on. But that didn't happen for me. James

293
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Robinson's It's not James Robinson's fault, right, Urban Meyer has

294
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: tanked James Robinson's value. Uh. Who completely knows what's going

295
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: on in that locker room besides the players and the

296
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: coaches that are there. But the stories that have been

297
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: coming out about what's happening in Jacksonville have been just confusing, confounding.

298
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: It's just been a mess. But what we do know

299
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: is that James Robinson is not seeing the field as much.

300
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: He's definitely not seeing the ball as much. Uh. You know,

301
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: when I looked and saw that he had four rushing yards,

302
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: I thought to my self, well, maybe he got hurt

303
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: and I somehow missed it. No, he still played about

304
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: six of the snaps. They just didn't give him the ball.

305
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: And this came after a week where everybody said they

306
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: cleared the air, Trevor Lawrence made a plea for James

307
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: Robinson to be more involved. Urban Meyer maybe did or

308
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: didn't demand that Robinson be on the bench. Uh, Florio,

309
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: you really thought it was gonna be kind of a

310
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: squeaky wheel game. I agreed with that. I just felt like,

311
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: after everything that happened in the past week, it was

312
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: going to be an opportunity to really lean on James

313
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: Robinson in this offense. That didn't happen. And it wasn't

314
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: even like it was a terrible game script. I mean,

315
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: they ended up losing twenty to nothing, um, but it

316
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: wasn't like it wasn't like the Raiders in the Chiefs

317
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: where it was a blowout early. At this point, it's

318
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: it's just hard to trust James Robinson, and not because

319
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: of anything Robinson's doing, just because the coaching staff doesn't

320
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: seem to have a plan for him. And uh it is.

321
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: It is super frustrating and I don't I don't have

322
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: an answer for what to do about it. Yeah, I

323
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be talking more about James Robinson. The

324
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: only thing holding onto him is the Jaguars upcoming schedule,

325
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: because I mean, the usage has been awful. He hasn't

326
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: been playing great. I don't blame him at all. I

327
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: blame everything going on in this team. And I mean

328
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: not to to keep piling on urban Meyer, but like

329
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: you see the handshake with Mike Rabel after the game,

330
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: You hear his one word answers that he's giving reporters.

331
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: You see how checked out this guy is, and you're like, yeah,

332
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: it's no surprise. No one on this team is playing

333
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: well right now? Why would they want to play for

334
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: this guy? So I don't know, it's it just keeps

335
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: getting worse and worse and worse. And I had high

336
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: hopes not just for James Robinson, but for Marvin Jones

337
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence in this passing game as well, and

338
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: it has been brutal. I mean we dubbed Trevor Lawrence

339
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: the prospects of a generation right the next Andrew Luck.

340
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: And this guy is barely throwing over two hundred yards

341
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,479
Speaker 1: each week, not throwing multiple touchdowns ever, throwing multiple interceptions

342
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: all the time. Like this offense is just completely broken,

343
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: and clearly this team doesn't want to play for their coach.

344
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: They are pretty much playing out the string right now,

345
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: and they have the Texans coming up this week, which

346
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: on paper is a winnable game for them. I thank

347
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: both those teams have two wins, so in theory, this

348
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: is a winnable game for Jacksonville. But you just wonder

349
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: how much interest, uh there is right now whether or

350
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: not these guys are just sort of like you said,

351
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: they're just checked out and just waiting for the end

352
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: of the season to come. But it is definitely, I'm

353
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: sure super disappointing in Jacksonville. It's definitely frustrating for those

354
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: of us who believed in these guys in fantasy time forward. Bright.

355
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we're looking at the top

356
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: performers from Sunday, including a wide receiver we might consider

357
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: starting every week the rest of the way. Stay tuned

358
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: for that. On the NFL Fantasy Football Show, look at

359
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: the top performers from Week fourteen. Coming into the week,

360
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Tom Brady were your top two quarterbacks

361
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: and uh, leaving the week, they were your top two quarterbacks.

362
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen QB one with just over thirty five points,

363
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: Tom Brady the QB two, just over thirty points. Taysom

364
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: Hill comes in. It's your q B four just a

365
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: hair over twenties six, Dalvin Cook who needs healthy shoulders,

366
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: thirty five points too fantasy points to be your RB one.

367
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny coming out of nowhere, nearly twenty seven fantasy

368
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: points to be the RB two. Melvin Gordon, Javonte Williams.

369
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: They were six and eight respectively. Gordon with twenty three

370
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: point one, Javante with one point three. But to Renfro

371
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: your wide receiver to with the nearly twenty nine fantasy points.

372
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase after kind of slumping, gives you over twenty

373
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: five to be the wide receiver four. And George Kittle

374
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: doing George Kittle things, he got you thirty four point

375
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 1: one point. He was your tight end one for the week,

376
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: but he saw Hunter Renfro was on that list. He

377
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,959
Speaker 1: had over a hundred and the fifteen receiving hundred and seventeen.

378
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna be exact about it. I found

379
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: the end zone really playing some good football lately, especially

380
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: with their in Waller on the shelf. But you've talked

381
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: about third in Renfro. I've talked about third in Renfro.

382
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: Have we reached the point where maybe we are firing

383
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: up Hunter renfro in our lineups for the rest of

384
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, hundred percent. He is a must heart

385
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver moving forward. I mean early in the year

386
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: we were talking about how he has a safe floor,

387
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: but as of late, the ceiling is what we're getting.

388
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: Seventeen or more fantasy points in five of his last

389
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: six games. He has nine or more targets in all

390
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: five of those games, with seventeen fantasy points. Yesterday was

391
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: a new high at nearly twenty nine. And what I loved,

392
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: fourteen targets. Four of them came in the red zone,

393
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: So they're starting to look for him there. Uh, the

394
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: volume he gets each week is just so safe. He

395
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: he has a safe floor of double digits and lately

396
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: the ceiling is twenty plus. So yeah, start him every week. Yeah.

397
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: The three straight games with over a hundred receiving yards,

398
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: three straight games with nineteen or more fantasy points. Uh,

399
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, Look, I do think some of that comes

400
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: down a touch when Darren Waller is back and healthy

401
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: but not significan anent lee, he and Derek Carr seemed

402
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: to have a pretty good connection. They're finding ways to

403
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: get him the football and it's you know, look, the

404
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: Raiders went out in the last couple of years tried

405
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: to add some wide receiver help. You know, Brian Edwards

406
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: has never quite blossomed by the way people wanted to.

407
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs obviously had his unfortunate you know, his tragic

408
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: accident that really has basically ended his football career and

409
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: really has put his life, uh in a very terrible situation. Uh.

410
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, not to say nothing of the people who

411
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: died in that accident. Um, but you know, now you

412
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: got hunder Renfro who stepped up and played very well.

413
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: And I do think he's he's going to be on

414
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: the field and should be in your lineups for the

415
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: rest of the season. The schedule the rest of the

416
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: way sort of middle of the road. I mean, they've

417
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: got the Browns, the Broncos, and the Colts. Uh. Not

418
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: super great matchups, not super terrible, but the volume has

419
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: been such that you just I don't know how you

420
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: keep him out of your fantasy lineup at this point. Um.

421
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: On the other side of that game, Patrick Mahomes had

422
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: a pretty good day. Uh. The Chiefs scored forty eight points,

423
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't he have a good or forty one, whatever,

424
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: they scored a whole lot of points. That's the point there.

425
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: If Patrick Mahomes had a pretty good day there, he

426
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: got you just over twenty fantasy points. He's not been

427
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: the guy that that you probably spent a second or

428
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: third round pick on, but he did play well yesterday.

429
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: Is that enough to give you hope that the real

430
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is going to show up for the fantasy postseason?

431
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: I am cautiously optimistic, and I say that as someone

432
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 1: that is more invested in my fantasy playoff teams are

433
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: more invested in the Chiefs than any team in football,

434
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: So I really need Patrick Mahomes to be Patrick Mahomes.

435
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: But yesterday alone isn't enough for me to forget about

436
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: the woes he's been having as of late, because the

437
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: one team he dominates always in the NFL is the Raiders.

438
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was good to see him get those

439
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: two touchdowns give you twenty fantasy points. I was expecting

440
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: even more out of him yesterday. I mean, but I'll

441
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: take twenty a game, Patrick Mahomes. That's the point on

442
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: Matt right now, and I think you got to be

443
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: even a little bit more worried if you have like

444
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey or Tyreek Hill right now because this well,

445
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: he's playing a little bit better. Mahomes, the Chief's offense

446
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: is still far from what they once were. You go

447
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: back and you look through the game logs for Patrick Mahomes,

448
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: and since Week six, there only two games where he's

449
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: given you twenty points. Both of them have come against

450
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders. The problem is the Raiders are no longer

451
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: on the schedule for Kansas City the rest of the year.

452
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: They've got the Chargers, as I mentioned on Thursday night,

453
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: that is in Los Angeles, they've got the Steelers, They've

454
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: got the Bengals. That's the fantasy playoff schedule for Patrick Mahomes. Uh.

455
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: If for a guy who really has just been kind

456
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: of hovering just below twenty points for a good chunk

457
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: of the season, it's not encouraging, and it's it's a

458
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: situation where maybe you have another option at quarterback, but

459
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 1: they don't have the ceiling that Mahomes does. It's a

460
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: really tenuous position that you are in right now. If

461
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: you've got out my Homes uh and I don't have him,

462
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: I I know if I did, though I would probably

463
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: really I would probably been starting him, but I would

464
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: really be looking hard at it each and every week.

465
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: But there's no simple answer. And you also mentioned Travis Kelsey.

466
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: You will talk about a guy who's just, you know, quietly,

467
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: just not doing much. He's still the tight in one.

468
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: But I think a lot of that because there's really

469
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: nobody that you know is in great position to pass him.

470
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: Maybe Mark andrews Um but but Kelsey seems to be

471
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: a He's a little bit of a cause for concern

472
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: right now as well. He's he's actually the tighten four

473
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: and points per game right now. It's just been like

474
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: Kiddle and Gronk have been have missed time. Yeah, Kelsey

475
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: is not the Kelsey of old right now. And the

476
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: only thing I'm hanging my head on Mark it's like

477
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: I'm still starting him next week. The Chargers and the

478
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs played earlier this year, and it was it was

479
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: a score fest like and and it was a concentrated

480
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: score fest with all of the pieces that we want

481
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: to do well in Fantasy doing well. I'm hoping for

482
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: repeat performance and uh, that's maybe enough for me to

483
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: continue to start all my Chiefs this week. But if

484
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: they struggle on Thursday night, and you advanced with them.

485
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: I think then you can. You have to think long

486
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: and hard about getting away from them against the Steelers

487
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: in week sixteen. And and let me correct myself, Travis

488
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: Kelsey is no longer the tight end one overall. Right

489
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: now it is Mark Andrews. After Andrews had the big

490
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: game on Sunday against the Browns and Kelsey he's gave

491
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: you twenty seven receiving yards against the Raiders. Uh, it

492
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: has flipped. So Mark Andrews right now sitting atop the

493
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: the tight end scoring rankings. Uh, we're getting Travis Kelts.

494
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: Remember he said that's how you say his name. That's

495
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: who he is this year. That's right, bring by Travis Kelsey.

496
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: I don't really like this Travis Kels guy nearly as much. Um,

497
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: all right, so I gets us too. I'm salty the

498
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: guys who disappointed us this week. Who was the biggest

499
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: disappointment for you? For me, Antonio Gibson was a big disappointment.

500
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: He had started to look like someone that we can

501
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: rely on to give us like twenty touches a game,

502
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: and then yesterday only the ten carries. And I know

503
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: you could say, well, they fell behind big early on.

504
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: I expected him to then be involved in the pass

505
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: and gave me. It's six targets last week seven. The

506
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: week before, no j D mckissic only two targets for

507
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. He gave you just four point one Fantasy points.

508
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: And you look at his game log as of late,

509
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: it's really either over twenty or single digits for the

510
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: last like seven weeks now. So I think this is

511
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of who he is at this point, a boomer

512
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: bust RB two. We can sell ourselves that he's an

513
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: RB one on the weeks where he goes over twenty,

514
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: but then you gotta you gotta be ready for that,

515
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, single digit performance. So that's kind of who

516
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson has become at this point of the season.

517
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: In my opinion, I'm still surprised that he just has

518
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: not been more involved in the passing game. Um, that

519
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: was a thing that that I think we were believing

520
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: would happen. You had Ron Rivera sort of comparing him

521
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: to Christian McCaffrey and in terms of what he could

522
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: be in the offense. Uh, and it turns out j

523
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: D mckissic is the pass catching back there. Uh for me,

524
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: we just talked about him. It's Travis Kelse who just

525
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: gave you twenty seven receiving yards on Sunday in a

526
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: game where the Chiefs uh went berserk and scored a

527
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: ton of points against the Raiders. I mean, uh, you know,

528
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: they put up forty eight points on Sunday and somehow

529
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey ends up with just five point seven points

530
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: because you had so many other guys getting involved. And

531
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: but this has kind of become a thing now though,

532
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: where Kelsey has had a number of games with fewer

533
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 1: than thirty receiving yards. Just a quick count four games

534
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: this year with under thirty receiving yards. So he has

535
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: sort of become a boom or bust prospect in a

536
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: lot of ways. He's become just like a regular tight end,

537
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: which is not why we were spending a first round pick.

538
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 1: It's not why I spent the first round pick on

539
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: him because he wasn't like any other tight end. But uh,

540
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, Florida, we've seen, you know, with with Kelsey,

541
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: with you know, so many other guys that week tweek

542
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: production is just not there. So I go back to

543
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: what we said a couple of weeks ago. I just

544
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't expect there will be a first round tight

545
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: end drafted, maybe not even a second round tight end

546
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: drafted in any leagues next year. Yeah, it's it's pretty

547
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: gross because, I mean, Kelsey has been such a disappointment.

548
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: Waller has been such a disappointment. Kittle, I mean, kid

549
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: has been awesome as of late, but he started off

550
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: slow and miss time. Yeah, I'm thinking like late second,

551
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: early third might be the first tight end we see

552
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: off the board next year. Yeah, probably probably what it's

553
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: going to be. Um, so we're back to the tight

554
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 1: end position being continually gross yet again. If you heard

555
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: it once, you heard it well a lot more than once.

556
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: You should follow us on TikTok at NFL Fantasy. We're

557
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: doing stuff over there. We'll probably be doing stuff through

558
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: the offseason two. I should confirm that. But you know,

559
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: just follow us and you'll find out for yourself. You

560
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: can also follow me at Marcus Grant. I sometimes dance,

561
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: I sometimes play the ukulele, I wear funny hats. It's

562
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: a whole thing. But come follow us, come check us out.

563
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: We're doing a lot of fun things there, all right. Uh,

564
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: we are getting ready for the fantasy playoffs in case

565
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: you haven't heard. And so I pulled out a handful

566
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: of guy eyes and looked at their schedules. Some of

567
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: them have tough schedules, some of them may just be

568
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 1: playing well or poorly whatever. But I wanted to know

569
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: if these guys would be playoffs Santa and help bring

570
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: you the gift of a championship, or if they would

571
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: be Fantasy crampus uh and leave you salty and sad

572
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: and alone and cold throughout the fantasy postseason. So let's

573
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: start with Josh Allen, who, as you mentioned earlier, really

574
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: played super well. Unfortunately the Bills lost a heartbreaker, but

575
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: you look at his playoffs schedule. They have the Panthers,

576
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: They've got the Patriots in a in New England, and

577
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: then they have the Falcons. Now, on paper, two of

578
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: those three are tough matchups. Josh Allen right now, though,

579
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: seems to be sort of matchup proof playoffs Santa or

580
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: crampus for you. He playoffs, Santa, I mean he he

581
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: is the entire Bill's offense. We were talking earlier that

582
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: they're not running with their running backs because Josh Allen

583
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: is there running back. He's also their quarterback, and I

584
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: mean he's matchup proof. He it's it's him and like

585
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Kylie Murray as the top two quarterbacks in fantasy in

586
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: my opinion, So I think you continue to start him.

587
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: The only concern I have is this this walking boot,

588
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: and maybe if he's gonna be running a little bit less. Yeah,

589
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: I think he's Santa And even with the walking boot

590
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: that we know he can still throw the football. You know,

591
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: he's got Stefon Diggs. We've seen Gabe Davis get get involved,

592
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox still doing his thing, even Cole Beasley. So

593
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: even if he's not giving you those rushing yards or

594
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns, I think he still makes it happen with

595
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: his arms. So I'm not so worried about the schedule.

596
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that game in New England gives me a little

597
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: bit of pause, just because Bill Belichick always seems to

598
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: have something for him. But you know, the other two

599
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: of those other three games, I think I think he's

600
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. It gets us to James Robinson, who

601
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: I I lamented earlier in the show. Uh, and the

602
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: the schedule for James Robinson is pretty great, right. He's

603
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: got the Texans this week, he's on the road at

604
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: the Jets next week now the the final game against

605
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That is worried. Some two of the three

606
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: are awesome. It's just the situation. Is he Santa or Crampus? Uh,

607
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: this is the hardest one. You're gonna ask me all day, Marcus.

608
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: I want to say, like Sant piss Or, I don't know. Crampta,

609
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't know because the usage has been awful. I

610
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: still believe a lot in his talent. I still love

611
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: the next two matchups, so I don't think he's an

612
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: RB one or anything like that. But I think you

613
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: might be hard pressed to get away from James Robinson

614
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: these next two weeks, given that they are the two

615
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: best matchups for a running back. So I think you'd

616
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: still end up using him as your r B two

617
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: or flex if if nothing else. So I guess I

618
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: leaned slightly towards Santa, but I'm I'm just worried about

619
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: urban Meyer and the usage there. Yeah, here's the thing.

620
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: I think. I think James Robinson wants to be Santa.

621
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: I think urban Meyer is gonna be Crampus, and urban

622
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: Meyer is going to win out and so we're all

623
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna be disappointed and that that stinks um because the

624
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: matchups are so good and James Robinson is a good player,

625
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: and I don't understand why they don't give him the football.

626
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody can figure it out. So I'm

627
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: leaning more towards the Crampus side, but not again, like

628
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: we said earlier, not because of anything James Robinson's doing.

629
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 1: It's just that it seems like the people who are

630
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: running the offense don't want to get him involved. And

631
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't don't understand. Another running back, Miles Sanders, who

632
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: you know, has had some really good games, has had

633
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: some head scratching games, is dealt with a little bit

634
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: of injury. Pretty good schedule though, He's got two games

635
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: against the Washington football team sandwiched around a game against

636
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 1: the Giants. So Santa or Crampus here, I'm gonna have

637
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: to go with Crampus. And I want Miles Centers to

638
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: be a thing, but we wanted him to be a

639
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: thing all year and it just it hasn't happened. They

640
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: have Jordan Howard, who is going to be healthy now

641
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: off to buy who they could use near the goal line.

642
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: They got Kenny g and Ballston Scott who can be

643
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: used in the passing game and mixed in on the ground.

644
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Miles Centers doesn't have a touchdown all years,

645
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: so it's just too many running backs. Plus you always

646
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: gotta worry about Jalen Hurts stealing a lot of the

647
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: production there, so I have him as a crampus because

648
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: of that. I'm I'm gonna try to be optimistic. I'm

649
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: going to lean Santa, and I think everything you said

650
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: is certainly valid, and it's all a concern for me.

651
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason he's on this list. But

652
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: what I do like is that the Eagles have really

653
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: decided to establish the run more in the last few weeks,

654
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: and so even with all those guys there, maybe there's

655
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: a pathway for Miles Sanders to be productive there. But

656
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: everything you said is is certainly legit, and it's certainly

657
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: a worry in my mind. I'm just trying to take

658
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: the path of positivity here in Philadelphia for Miles Sanders

659
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: and hope that it that it comes comes around for him.

660
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 1: Um Jamaar Chase, who really had been slumping, ended up

661
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: with a pretty good game against the forty Niners, got

662
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: you over twenty five Fantasy points until maybe he's coming

663
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: back to our lives. But the schedule not great. He's

664
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: on the road at Denver, then their home to the Ravens,

665
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: then their home to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs have

666
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: become a pretty good defensive team like Lee. So what

667
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: what wins out here? Is it Jamar Chase? His talent

668
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: and volume is that the defense is he? Is he Santa?

669
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: Is he Crampus? I think he is Santa? And I

670
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: kept putting it out on Twitter yesterday, like this is

671
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: why you can never bench Jamar Chase. There's not many

672
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: receivers who possess his type of upside. And I know

673
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: he had the two touchdowns yesterday could have nearly been

674
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: a third one. Uh. And yes, I don't love the schedule,

675
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: except for that game against Baltimore whose secondary is completely

676
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: uh like injury plagued right now. But still like his

677
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: floor is you know, it's not that best, but he

678
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,479
Speaker 1: brings such a high ceiling that I think you just

679
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: have to start him each week because he can get

680
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: hot and win you a Fantasy championship and there's not

681
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: many receivers who could do that. I am going to

682
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: lean Santa as well. Just because the ceiling as you

683
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, I saw your tweets about that's why

684
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: you don't sit Jamar Chase because the ceiling is there. Um,

685
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: and so I think I think that kind of keeps

686
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: him in my lineup. I'm just nervous that the teams

687
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: will continue to try to take him away. Uh. The

688
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: Niners kind of lost track of him a couple of

689
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: times and he was able to get in the end zone.

690
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 1: If that works out in the future, then then we're

691
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna be happy. If teams figure out how to you know,

692
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Jamaar Chase to keep him lockdown,

693
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: We're we're gonna be disappointed, but again hoping for the best. Uh.

694
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go Santa on this one. Um. DK

695
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: Metcalf Uh. Last few weeks we have seen a lot

696
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: more Tyler Lockett. We've seen a lot less DK Metcalf,

697
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: even with Russ starting to maybe turn it around a

698
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: little bit. DK doesn't seem to be benefiting from any

699
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 1: of that, and his schedule two of the three games

700
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: not particularly exciting. He's got the Rams, uh, he's got

701
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: the Bears, and he's got the Lions, which should make

702
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: you feel Okay, uh, how are we feeling about DK

703
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: Metcalf right now? Not feeling nearly as optimistic as we

704
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: were earlier in this season, But I still think DK

705
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: Metcalf is a Santa the Rams. I know they're tough

706
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: matchup on paper. DK Metcalf's best fantasy game of the

707
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: year is against the Rams so far this season. The

708
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: Bears don't necessarily scare me, and the Lions are the Lions.

709
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: He's a lot like Jamaar Chase in the sense of

710
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,479
Speaker 1: like he's getting eight targets a game right now. Eight

711
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: targets for d K can end up being a huge

712
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: fantasy day. So I would rather go out with DK

713
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: Metcalf in my starting lineup hoping for a big day

714
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: than starting like a safe floor receiver who could get

715
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: me like eight to ten fantasy points, because just like

716
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase, DK Metcalf has the potential to win you

717
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: a week and potentially get hot and win you a championship.

718
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: So I'm still I know it hasn't been great as

719
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: of late, but I'm still I'm gonna be riding with

720
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. I am too, I just I feel like

721
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna be crampus. Um. But if I have him,

722
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: then I'm just gonna ride with him and I'm gonna

723
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: hope for the best. But I am not optimistic and

724
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm looking and you go back. Uh. Since he scored

725
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 1: twenty two points against the Jags in Week eight, his

726
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: high since then has been just eleven points, doesn't have

727
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: any touchdowns, hasn't had more than sixty yards in a game. Meanwhile,

728
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett is just continuing to thrive. But like you said,

729
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: the ceiling is so great that it's hard for me

730
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: to just pivot away from him. I just I feel like,

731
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: if I have DK Metcalfille and I'm in the playoffs,

732
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch my fantasy team go down with him

733
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: having like forty seven yards or something like that and

734
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: just be frustrated about it. So, um, yeah, I'll stick

735
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: with it, but I'm not I'm not fired up. All right.

736
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: There's Alan Robinson who just came back. Um. It has

737
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: been pretty much a lost season for a rob in

738
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: Chicago and we're probably seeing the last of him in

739
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 1: a Bear's uniform. But the schedule pretty good for him

740
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the way at home against the Vikings

741
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: on the road, at Seattle Home against the Giants. Does

742
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: he turn it around and deliver some gifts or is

743
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 1: he's still just crampassing it up. He's a crampus. Uh.

744
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: I know the matchups are great. I mean, yesterday's six

745
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: targets to catch his fourteen yards, and we know Darnell

746
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: Mooney is going to be involved, we know Cole Comment

747
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: is going to be involved. They got David Montgomery a

748
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: bunch of targets yesterday. I just don't trust that he's

749
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: gonna get enough volume. I don't trust that he's gonna

750
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: give us enough production. I mean, we've seen what one

751
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: good game this year out of Robinson with Justin Field.

752
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: So even in these good matchups, like if you're not

753
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 1: starting him against the Vikings next week, drop Allen Robinson

754
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: because you're never going to start him. That's probably it too.

755
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: I I fully agree he is. He's going to be

756
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: fantasy crampus the rest of the year. Uh, if if

757
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: you even have him, if you're even starting him. Uh,

758
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: and you made it this far, congrats he Actually I'm

759
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: looking he's rostered in less than fifty of nfl dot

760
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: com leaves. It has dipped below. Not a thing you

761
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: would have imagined for a guy that was a consensus

762
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: what third round pick. I think in a lot of drafts, um,

763
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: that is kind of how it's gone. Sign up. Who

764
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: who has been more disappointing? Allen Robinson or Julio Jones.

765
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson because at least Julio Jones we could blame

766
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: on injury. Um, Allen Robinson. I know he got hurt

767
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: and missed some games, but even when he was healthy,

768
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: he he was a huge disappointment. Yeah, yeah, that's probably

769
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: that's probably fair. All right. Hopefully it's happy playoff holidays

770
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: for all of you out there and you don't get

771
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 1: visited by trampas. Sorry for another break, but when we

772
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: come back, we're talking Rashad Penny and some other waiver

773
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: wire targets. Four Week fifteen, that's coming up on the

774
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Shot. Just because the fantasy playoffs have

775
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,320
Speaker 1: started doesn't mean that you can't hit the waiver wire.

776
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: And as always, Michael Florio puts together his list, So please, sir,

777
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 1: take us through. Who you got Taysom Hill the top

778
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: quarterback ad of the week. I mean, all the guy

779
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,479
Speaker 1: does is continue to put up QB one numbers because

780
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: he's a running back, but that doesn't matter to a

781
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 1: tongue of Iloa gets the Jets. The Jets next week. Yeah,

782
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: he's a great streaming option. And if you're going a

783
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: little bit deeper, Justin Fields, who played pretty well last night,

784
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: gets the Vikings on Monday Night football. Rashad Penny had

785
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: a great game yesterday. He would be my top running

786
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: back target. Jeff Wilson Jr. Saw a big volume with

787
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell, and the Niners have a good schedule, were

788
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 1: coming up. Philip Lindsay just because Savon Ackmeded Miles Gaskon

789
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: are on the COVID list, and they get the Jets

790
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: next week. And then the Lions running backs just in case,

791
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: uh Swift and Williams cannot suit up, Craig Reynolds and

792
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 1: Godwin Igway Buckway. Uh, we're splitting the work there yesterday.

793
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: And then some receivers Aman Ross st Brown, Marcus. I

794
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: know you love this one. The guy got twelve targets

795
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: again yesterday. Love to see the volume there. Rashad Bateman.

796
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: Just when I think I'm out, he pulls me back in.

797
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: He played really well with Huntley, Robbie Anderson and Donovan

798
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: people's Jones put up some good numbers yesterday. Those are

799
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: deeper league targets at receiver and then at tight end.

800
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper, I know you were all about him, Marcus.

801
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,320
Speaker 1: He had been getting consistent volume, had a good game yesterday.

802
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones, I know he disappointed, but he gets

803
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles next week and then again in week seventeen,

804
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: and the Eagles are awful aint tight ends. And then

805
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett, who is a a red zone specialist. That's

806
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: looking like for Seattle. So if you're going a little

807
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 1: bit deeper at tight end, you're hoping for a touchdown.

808
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,879
Speaker 1: I think he is a good can. Didn't up scoring one.

809
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: One thing we know about Seattle tight ends that Russell

810
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Wilson does like looking for them in the red zone

811
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,400
Speaker 1: down near the end zone. The rest of the field,

812
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, he seems to have tight end blindness, but

813
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: then you know zone he seems to find him. Uh.

814
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny on that list, and coming into the week,

815
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll said that he did have big plans for

816
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny. I didn't think it would be you know,

817
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: top five running back, fantasy running back type plans for

818
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: Rashot Penny. But here they are, uh the rest of

819
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: the season, And we talked about this with DK Metcalf

820
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: at the Rams home against the Bears home against the Lions.

821
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: Is he startable for the fantasy playoffs? I think next

822
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: week is the one week you might be a little

823
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: hesitant on because the Rams already tough defense, but the

824
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: Bears struggle against the run, and the Lions you can

825
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: run all over. So yeah, I think maybe next week

826
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: you depends on your options, maybe you get away from him.

827
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: But after that, I think if he's still healthy and

828
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: looking like he's looking definitely startable. I mean a hundred

829
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: and thirty seven rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Yes,

830
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: it was against the Texans, but those numbers are eye popping.

831
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: You have to take note. And I think, just and

832
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, that's the fact that the volume is there

833
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, uh, no matter what Russ does

834
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: or how well or poorly, the passing game is going.

835
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll wants to run the football, and it looks

836
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: like Rashan Penny for the foreseeable future is the guy.

837
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: So at a time when there's so many running backs

838
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: hurt or just missing or just not getting the football.

839
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: Looking at you, Jacksonville, Um for shot, Penny is as

840
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: viable an option as anybody out there right now. Uh.

841
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill also on your list. You mentioned he just

842
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: keeps putting up quarterback one numbers because he's mostly a

843
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: running back that occasionally throws the football. Um, But he's

844
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 1: playing pretty well. Dak Prescott is kind of struggling a

845
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: little bit at least fantasy wise. Would you rather have

846
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: Taysom or Dak for the fantasy playoffs? I never thought

847
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: I would say this, but I'm slightly leaning towards Taysom Hill.

848
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: It is close because of the upside that Dak possesses.

849
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: But Taysom Hill has now made six starts in his

850
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: NFL career as is starting quarterback, and he's averaging almost

851
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: twenty two fantasy points per game in those with at

852
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: least seventeen and a half in each of them over

853
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: twenty and four of those six games, and this year

854
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: in particular, seventy three rushing yards and then a hundred

855
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: and one last week, like over twenty fantasy points in each.

856
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,879
Speaker 1: I know it's not always gonna look pretty, but he's

857
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: gonna run a lot. He is going to get the

858
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: ball near the goal line and run there. And like

859
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: next week against the Bucks, yeah, maybe they they're trailing.

860
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that means he's Taysom Hill is gonna

861
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: stop running. I think it'll just mean more design runs

862
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 1: where he drops back like he's gonna pass and then

863
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: ends up running like we've been seeing him do the

864
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I know what he's been doing, and

865
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: it's it's not pretty to watch, and it's you know,

866
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: I still don't think he's a great NFL quarterback, but

867
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: he's a good fantasy quarterback. All that being said, I'm

868
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: still leaning towards DAC. I still want the ceiling for

869
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. I like what they have the next two

870
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,479
Speaker 1: of the next three weeks. They've got the Giants, They've

871
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: got Washington. You know. Week seventeen is the Cardinals, which

872
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: might be a front situation. But I just want the

873
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: upside of Dak Prescott. And maybe this is me just

874
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: sort of grudgingly not wanting to pivot to Taysom Hill

875
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: because I think the whole thing is just sort of

876
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,240
Speaker 1: weird in and Sean Payton's trying to force a square

877
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: peg into a round hole. Uh, so maybe maybe maybe

878
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: I end up having egg on my face at the

879
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 1: end of this, but I think I still just want

880
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: the upside that you get from from having Dak Prescott

881
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: in your lineup. So all right, So if we're gonna

882
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: go with a top waiver wire target, you somehow have

883
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: your top priority. You miraculously still have some fab dollars

884
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: in your pocket. Where are you using them? My top

885
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: waiver wire target would be Rashad Penny for all the

886
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: reasons we just discussed. But I will say if if

887
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: you've been streaming quarterbacks or whatever like, whatever you need

888
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: to do to make your starting lineup as strong as possible,

889
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: should be your top pickup. So if you need a

890
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 1: quarterback more than a running back, go get Taysom Hill

891
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: or to us. So worry about your starting lineup and

892
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: then worry about depth secondary. I think that's that's probably

893
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: a smart point. I would say that I would also

894
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: keep a really strong on eye on Jeff Wilson Jr.

895
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: Just because we keep saying at the forty Niners running

896
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: game is is a big deal. Well, we'll see what

897
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: happens with Elijah Mitchell if he's able to come back

898
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: next week. Obviously, missed Sunday's game against the Bengals, but

899
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson is still gonna be a part of it. Uh.

900
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: And some good matchups. I mean, they've got the Falcons

901
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 1: coming up next week, They've got the Texans in week seventeen,

902
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: so the schedule is certainly very very favorable. UH. And

903
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: we talked about meeting running back depth. It's always important

904
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 1: this time of year, So Jeff Wilson the name that

905
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 1: should be very heavily added. I think this week off

906
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: the Waiver Wire. By the way, for more Waiver Wire stuff,

907
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: you can check out Florida's weekly column. It's still going up,

908
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 1: still running every single week at the nfl dot com

909
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: slash Waiver Wire. I want to update you on something

910
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: that came down just as we were recording. In the

911
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: middle of recording this show, we talked about Josh Allen

912
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: being in a walking boot. With the updates per our

913
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: own Ian Rappaport is that it is a mild case

914
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: of turf toe. It's easy to call it mild when

915
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: it's not your toe. Um, but that is somewhat encouraged

916
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: being so hopefully things won't be too bad for Josh

917
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: Allen and he'll be ready to go for Week fifteen.

918
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: All right, we are closing out Week four team though.

919
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,720
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the last game of the fantasy

920
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: regular season in a lot of fantasy league, so there

921
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be a lot of teams on the bubble,

922
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of fantasy relevant players going

923
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: between the Rams and the Cardinals down in the desert.

924
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's look at the wide receiver position for the Rams. Oh,

925
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 1: b j or Van Jefferson. Who you got, Van Jefferson.

926
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: I know you've been driving the hype trained Marcus, but

927
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm fully on board with you now. I mean, we

928
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: were worried about Van Jefferson when O'Dell came over. Then

929
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: Robert Woods got hurt, and to me, it kind of

930
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: looks like Van Jefferson is the new Robert Woods, where

931
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna get that safe production each week, the safe targets,

932
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 1: and O'Dell is the one where he's gonna be involved,

933
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 1: but they're gonna take some shots with him. So I

934
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: just think Van Jefferson is a little bit safer right now.

935
00:45:57,400 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: I trust his his ability to be on the fie field.

936
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: I trust the targets he's been getting and the connection

937
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: him and Stafford have developed I've been waving the flag

938
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: from all year, no reason for me to stop now.

939
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: I think some of it is just more familiarity with

940
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,240
Speaker 1: the offense. I mean, he's been there for a couple

941
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: of years. He has a better sense of what it

942
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 1: is that Sean McVeigh is looking for. I'm sure he's

943
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: sort of learned some of the other things that can

944
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: be done in this offense, and so I think that

945
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: kind of gives him a greater level of trust. So yeah,

946
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,760
Speaker 1: I think, oh b J has a potentially good ceiling,

947
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 1: But I like Jefferson's consistency and that's the guy that

948
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: I would take between the two. Uh No, Darryll Henderson.

949
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: This week he was placed on the COVID nineteen list,

950
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 1: so he will not play tonight against the Cardinals, which

951
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: means another big Sony Michelle game potentially incoming. At least

952
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity coming for Sony Michelle. If you

953
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: have to put a fantasy number on it for him tonight,

954
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: what would that be. I'm thinking around seventeen fantasy points

955
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: because it's not the best matchup, but I still trust

956
00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: the Rams offense and last week Sony Miche know, played

957
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: really well, and what came out after was the Rams

958
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: kind of talking about changing their offense up to get

959
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle more involved, going with more of a heavy set,

960
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: getting more tight ends out there on the field. And

961
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: if that's the case then and they were saying that

962
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: before Darryl Henderson was ruled out, so clearly Sony Michelle

963
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: is a part of this offense. And if that's the case,

964
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: I expect him to run a good amount tonight. So

965
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: I think he could have a very solid Fantasy day.

966
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put him around fifteen. That terribly far off

967
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,439
Speaker 1: from from where you've got him there. I could see

968
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: him getting about sixty yards in a touchdown, catch a

969
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 1: couple of passes. Not much in the passing game for him,

970
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: but you know, it won't be an awful night at

971
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,479
Speaker 1: all for for Sony Michelle. I do think going forward though,

972
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 1: And you know, I know someone asked Sean McVeigh about

973
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: what Michelle's role could be with Henderson there, and he

974
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: he sort of talked about the Cowboys and what they're

975
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: doing with Ezekiel Elliott and Tony pollard Um in terms

976
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: of just having both guys on the field, getting both

977
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: guys involved in the offense. So if you are able

978
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: to survive and you've got Sony Michelle, I think they're

979
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: still potential for him to be viable going even into

980
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs this year last one, Chase Edmonds is

981
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: a game time decision. He's been on injured reserve, could

982
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 1: play in tonight's game if that happens. Is James Connor

983
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: still startable? Yes? I think uh, even if we get

984
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds back, I think Connor has played well enough

985
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 1: where he's not going to lose the full scope of

986
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: his role. I think Chase Edmonds will be the past

987
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: catching back that we see on third down. I think

988
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: we'll see him in the two minutes drill, maybe sprinkled

989
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: in on early downs. But I think James Connor has

990
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: stolen the job as the Cardinals early down runner, and

991
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: he is a hundred percent the running back that they

992
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: use in the red zone near the goal line and

993
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: always has a chafed a safe chance of scoring a touchdown.

994
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: If not too so, I would continue to start James

995
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: Connor with or without Chase Edmonds that touchdown upside man.

996
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: Even when Edmunds was there early in the season, it

997
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: was the touchdown upside that made Connor viable, and then

998
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: with no Edmonds, uh, you just saw his numbers explode.

999
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: And I think even with Chase Edmonds back, um, I

1000
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: still think he keeps at least some work in the

1001
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: passing game because he showed he could do it. I

1002
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: would also say, just kind of as a side note,

1003
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: I think not having to be a true workhorse for

1004
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,959
Speaker 1: a good part of the season has sort of helped

1005
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: keep Connor fresh and healthy. I mean, the knock on

1006
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 1: him had always just been uh not able to stay healthy.

1007
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: But this year he's done that, and he's been really

1008
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: really productive and he's a big part of the reason

1009
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: that the Arizona is ten and two right now. Coming

1010
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: into this game. On the field, you have a prediction,

1011
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 1: at least you pick a winner for this one. I'm

1012
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: thinking the Rams get this one. I know the Cardinals

1013
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: beat them earlier. I think these are two really tough

1014
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: teams that I think they split. So I'm gonna say

1015
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: the Rams pull this one off. I'm gonna say the

1016
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 1: Cardinals get the sweep. A win the night locks them

1017
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: into a playoff spot and gets them that much closer

1018
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: to the NFC West title. Makes things tough on the Rams.

1019
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: I think I think they get a big win at

1020
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: home and the folks in the desert can go crazy

1021
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: for at least a little bit there so, but it

1022
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: should be fun, should be a good one to watch.

1023
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: And uh, for all of you out there who have

1024
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: already made the fantasy playoffs, congratulations. For those of you

1025
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 1: out there who needs some good things to happen tonight,

1026
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: we are pulling for you. We hope for the best,

1027
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: unless you're playing me, but uh, you know, we're best

1028
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: of luck to you and hopefully we will see you
