1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up? Welcome to another edition of the

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your man, MG. Marcus Grants,

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like NEO in the matrix.

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: And we're pretty much through twelve weeks of the season,

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: so the playoff push really starting in earnest around a

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy leagues. We're gonna talk about some of

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: that as well, like plenty to do on the show today.

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: Of course, we were joined as always by producer Justin

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: and the specialist they cast of dozens and they help

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: us put on this show, and joined on screen as

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: always by Michael f Florio flying the Mets flag today.

12
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess congratulations are in order. A big,

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: a big free agent signing apparently landing in Queens for

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: you guys. Huh yeah, I'm sorry to take him from

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: your Dodgers markets, but Max Shirs are the biggest signing

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: for the Mets in like fifteen years. Uh, it's a

17
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: new era. I guess. I'm just I'm just feeling pretty

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: pretty excited right now, as long as he doesn't start,

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, giving the fans thumbs down or whatever it

20
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: was that was going on. Last year. Uh it should. Yeah, look,

21
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: we we will definitely miss him in l A. It

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: was a short time that he was here, but uh, look, man,

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: he pitched well. He helped the Dodgers. I I hope

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: that whenever he comes back to Dodger Stadium to pitch

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: against the Dodgers that the fans actually appreciate him and

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: applaud him. Uh, because he did his job. The rest

27
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: of the team. You know, there were breakdowns, but I

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: can't blame anything that happened in the postseason on Max Scherzer.

29
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: So he wanted l A forty three million a year.

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: It's just hard to pass up. But also, Marcus, I mean,

31
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: congrats to you USC Lincoln Riley that I know we're

32
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: here to talk NFL, but man, it was a good

33
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: day for our non NFL teams. It was it was

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: that was a bombshell. It was a bombshell, mostly because

35
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: nobody saw it coming. Of all the big names that

36
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: were thrown about for potential head coaching replacements there at

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: SC Lincoln Riley never appeared. And then all of a sudden,

38
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: just like lightning, it strikes. So uh it definitely is

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: it a cure all, but it's a step in the

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: right direction after sort of wandering in the wilderness for

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: the last you know, five six years. We'll see, we'll see,

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: but I am optimistic about what's gonna happen. All right.

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: We do have planning to talk about on the show today.

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: We will try to predict some fantasy league winners. As

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: we turn the page toward week thirteen, we'll give you

46
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: some waiver wire targets as well, and as always have

47
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: the Monday night preview. Tonight, it is the Seattle Seahawks

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: heading to the nation's capital to take on the Washington

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: football team. But let's get started, as we always do,

50
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: with some fantasy headlines, starting with the big and unfortunate

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: news out of Carolina. Christian McCaffrey's season is over. He

52
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: was seen in a walking boot after Caroline is lost

53
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, and then word comes

54
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: on Monday and he'll be placed on are, ending his season.

55
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: So uh, Florida Unfortunately, for the second straight year, injury

56
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: cut short McCaffrey's year. Uh. Is it as simple as

57
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: we just now pivot to Cuba Hubbard? Yeah, I think so.

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: I think Hubbard becomes one of the top two must

59
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: grab waiver wire targets. We're gonna talk about that other

60
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: guy a little bit later, but Hubbard right now, even

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: with the Panthers on by next week, needs to be

62
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: prioritized because he was averaging twenty touches a game with

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: no CMC and it's looking and we're not gonna have

64
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: see him see the rest of the year. So Hubbard

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: is the guy there now. I mean he played well

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: uh in McCaffrey's absence earlier in the year, but definitely

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: frustrating for a guy that was the number one overall

68
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: pick in a whole lot of leagues. Uh. And I

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: think at this point you could probably ex him out

70
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: of the conversation for being the number one overall pick

71
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: in two but we will press ahead with Chuba Hubbard

72
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: and whoever else you may be able to find off

73
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: the waiver wire in our lineups. Speaking of the injuries

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: piling up, Dalvin Cook suffered a shoulder injury in the

75
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: loss of the forty Niners on Sunday. It is being

76
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: called a torn labor um. Uh. The Vikings are hoping

77
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: he could return potentially for the playoffs if they make it.

78
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: Right now, they are I think the final seed in

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: the NFC. So a simple question is that Alexander mattis

80
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: season now, Yes, a hundred percent, Yes, he is the

81
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the unquestioned top waiver wired target on

82
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: the week. I mean, forget even what he did yesterday.

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: We already have two games this year where Dalvin Cook missed,

84
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Weeks three and Week five. Alexander Madison had thirty two

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: touches in each of those games. He topped twenty three

86
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in each of them, and he did so

87
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: with only one touchdown in those two games. He had

88
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: over a hundred and fifty yards in both of those games.

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: And when the touchdowns start coming for him, because they will,

90
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: he is going to be an unquestioned RB one I

91
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: think with top five upside like no offense to Dalvin Cook.

92
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: But when Alexander Madison slides in, I'm not saying he's

93
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: exactly what Dalvin Cook is, but I think he could

94
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: be like eight nine percent of it just on volume alone.

95
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: So yeah, if he is out there, I think you

96
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: you go very aggressive for him, because if the Vikings

97
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: are hoping that Dalvin Cook is back for the playoffs,

98
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: that means he's likely out for all of the fantasy playoffs,

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: and Alexander Madison could win you your league, so I

100
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: would unload my fab to get him on my roster

101
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,239
Speaker 1: right now. He is the one guy that we always

102
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: talk about in terms of like we talk about handcuffs,

103
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: right his name is the usually the first one that

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: pops up because he is I think, uh and maybe

105
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard slots into this as well, but he is

106
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: the guy that is the closest one to one comparison

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: to the guy playing ahead of him, the guy that

108
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: you know when Dalvin Cook goes down, we know Madison

109
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: is going to get all that workload, and like you said,

110
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: he can be eighty to ninety percent of what Dalvin

111
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Cook has been. It's hard to say that with other

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: backup running backs around the league. I mean, like I said,

113
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: maybe Tony Pollard sort of fits that mold as well,

114
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: although he's kind of getting a lot of regular snaps anyway,

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: even with Ezekiel Elliott. So Madison is going to be

116
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: very popular. This want to be kind of a map

117
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: rush to add Alexander Madison for people who have Dalvin Cook,

118
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: for people who don't have Dalvin Cook. So, uh, yeah,

119
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: this is gonna be one to sort of watch and Uh,

120
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 1: the schedule I think is is okay down the stretch

121
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: for him, so we'll see what he what what he does.

122
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: But you're right, he has the potential to really turn

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: some leagues around, uh and shake some things up in

124
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs with I was with with the injuries

125
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: that we're seeing at the running back position as of late,

126
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: I think if there's any of these high end backups

127
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire, stash him now. Like I'd rather

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: have that than like a fifth or six wide receiver,

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think. So, I think you're right. I

130
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: think instead of you know, fooling around and trying to

131
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: see what tray Kwon Smith can give you or you know,

132
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: somebody like that. I mean, we were sort of joking

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday about you know, the Nick westbrook Aine's of

134
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the world. Maybe better off stashing and Alexander Madison, maybe

135
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: even a Chuba Hubbard depending on the situation in Carolina

136
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: for your stretch run. Uh. Some bad news out of Dallas.

137
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy test positive for COVID UH, one of a

138
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: number of Dallas coaches that recently have tested positive for

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: the virus. We saw in Thanksgiving, some of their coaches

140
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: were unavailable. Mike McCarthy will not be available to coach

141
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints, So that's

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: something to kind of keep in mind. Is it something? Though?

143
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Do we do we worry about the offense? I mean,

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: it looks like Kellen Moore will still be available, so

145
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I feel like for us in in the fantasy aspect

146
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: of it, as long as Kellen morre so there, we

147
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: should still be okay. Right, Yeah, I'm not too worried

148
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: about the offense if it's just Mike McCarty missing. But

149
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: we're hearing that there's a lot of positives coming out

150
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: of Dallas, so I think it's a situation to monitor.

151
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: And we've already seen a Marie Cooper missed two games.

152
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: I think if it starts to be like something like that,

153
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: where we're hearing more players are you know, positive, then

154
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: I'll start to worry. But if it's just a couple

155
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: of coaches, I'm still gonna be starting like Dac and

156
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: those guys like the usual. I think. So the Saints

157
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: are are scuffling right now. I mean they were pretty

158
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: good on Thanksgiving, um by the bills that they are.

159
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: They're kind of a mess right now, so I think

160
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: you can get all your cowboys into the lineup. Uh.

161
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: In San Francisco is a big win for the forty

162
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: Niners that bumps them up to the sixth seed in

163
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: the NFC. But a slight bit of bad news. Deebo

164
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: Samuel left that game with a groin injury. He actually

165
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: left the game, was called questionable, ended up not returning.

166
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: The Niners ended up winning. They didn't necessarily need him,

167
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: but continue to have what has been an amazing season.

168
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: He is the first wide receiver in NFL history with

169
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: a thousand receiving yards, five or more rushing touchdowns, and

170
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: five or more receiving touchdowns in a season. Uh. The

171
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: good news though, the Niners don't think it's very serious.

172
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: He might have to miss a little time, but they're

173
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: not expecting it to be anything long term. Uh So,

174
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know does this I guess it

175
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: does change something though, right? I mean there's no deepo Samuel.

176
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: So this means more for Brandon I you do we

177
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: do we dig deeper? Do we try a Jown Jennings

178
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: or a Trent Sherfield or somebody day like that? I

179
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: think just Jennings and deeper formats. But I think this offense,

180
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the last couple of weeks, Deebo Samuel has

181
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: been used kind of more as a running back than

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: a receiver. I mean, in the last two weeks, he

183
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: is less than four Fantasy points from catching balls and

184
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: over thirty two from just running. So I think that

185
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Brandon and a Yuk, who has kind of been the

186
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: top target the last couple of weeks, he only will

187
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: see more. I think maybe it also helps George Kittle

188
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: because he's been kind of up and down since returning.

189
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: But Deebo Samuel is one of one, right, Like there's

190
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 1: no other piece like Deebo Samuel, So taking him out

191
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna change the offense a lot because

192
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: he just does stuff that no other player in the

193
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: NFL can do. I mean, it's been amazing to watch him.

194
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: I tweeted that he Deebo Samuel greater than Trey Sermon,

195
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: and that wasn't even intended to be a hot take,

196
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: because that's really what it is now. I mean, Sermon

197
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: got on the field for special teams, ended up hurting

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: his ankle and having to leave that game game. But

199
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: they're not even looking his direction. They would rather give

200
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel Carey's to put Tray Trey Sermon on the

201
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: field right now. So, uh, keep an eye on this. Obviously,

202
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: if he's not available for the Niners, he can't play

203
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: for you. But it doesn't look like it's going to

204
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: be anything long terms. So that at least as a

205
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: positive as we had to the late part of the season.

206
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: One more thing that I glossed over unintentionally. Dan Arnold

207
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: has an MCL sprain that is expected to keep him

208
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: out four to six weeks. This just takes one more

209
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: tight end out of what is already a pretty shallow pool.

210
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: Uh there we there, we try streaming James O'Shaughnessy now

211
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: that he's back. I would not be doing that. Dan

212
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: Arnold last week didn't have a target and then, uh,

213
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: you know yesterday got injured. Uh. I thought he was

214
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: a cuttable tight end after I was pretty high on

215
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: him for a stretch. But tight end is hard man

216
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: and uh, I guess if anything, Marcus, this leads to

217
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: a little bit more la viscachenal To did have a

218
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: team high nine targets yesterday, Just just saying I'm you know,

219
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm trying to, you know, contain my excitement about it. Uh,

220
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've had my heart broken before by urban

221
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: Meyer and this office. But you're right, No, Dan Arnold,

222
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: the maybe maybe a little more visca in our lives.

223
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: I would I would be okay with that. So we'll see. Um.

224
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: That gets us to things we learned, as we always

225
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: do this time on Mondays, about the things we saw

226
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: over the weekend that we took away and are trying

227
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: to put into use in our daily fantasy lives. What

228
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: is it that you know now that maybe you didn't

229
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: know before. Pat Friar Mood is I think an unquestioned

230
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: must start tight end each week. We were saying earlier

231
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: how hard tight end is, Well, it's not hard when

232
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: you have a guy like Friar Muth who is just

233
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns each and every week. He's getting consistent volume.

234
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Even yesterday in a game where the Steelers were getting

235
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: blown out and their offense struggled, he was a bright

236
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: spot for them. He scored a touchdown. He made a

237
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: really impressive catch in the end zone as well. And

238
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I actually put this out on Twitter, Marcus. I put

239
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: out a poll who would you rather have on your

240
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 1: fantasy roster just for the rest of this season, not

241
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: NB on Kyle Pitts or Pat friar Muth the top

242
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: two rookie tight ends, and friar Muth is winning sixty

243
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: six to four to thirty four percent. Right now, we're

244
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: nearly votes in so hot take. I mean, Friar Muth

245
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: might be what we wanted Kyle Pitts to be this year.

246
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: He really might be. And I think there's a a

247
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: greater discussion to be had about Kyle Pitts. Uh. In fact,

248
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: if I, you know, can tease a little bit in

249
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: the show, we may talk about Kyle Pitts a little

250
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: bit later on in this show, because I think I

251
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: think he's sort of an interesting point. Uh. The thing

252
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: I learned and whatever superlatives you have about Pat friar Muth,

253
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: the opposite applies to Evan Ingram. That's it. I'm out.

254
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm It's like, I mean, I'm like, I'm ending the

255
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: show with Evan Ingram. That is it. We are done,

256
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: Like I I you know, this was supposed to be

257
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: the week against the Eagles, who have tight end blindness. Um.

258
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: He had three catches for thirty seven yards. Uh. Someone

259
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: named Chris Myrick. Another tight end on the roster was

260
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: not named Evan Ingram ended up scoring a touchdown. Um, yeah,

261
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: I just I it was supposed to happen this week,

262
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: and if it we said repeatedly, you and I both said,

263
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: if it didn't happen this week, it was probably never

264
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: going to happen. I just don't think it's going to happen,

265
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: so any slight jam I was telling this. I think

266
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I went through and started the make list for my

267
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: sleeper's column for the week, and I think I looked

268
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: at it, and I think Ingram has a decent matchup

269
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: this week, and I just I can't. I can't in

270
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: good conscience put him forth anymore as a viable fantasy

271
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: option because it's just it's over now, so we can

272
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: we can pack this tent up right. This was the

273
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: best matchup for a tight end in a game where

274
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: the Giants didn't have Sterling Shepherd, could Darius Tony or

275
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, and he still couldn't get the job done.

276
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: I I'll get suckered into him maybe if he signs

277
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: with a different team or something like that, but until then,

278
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: I am washing my hands clean of Evan Ingram. Yeah,

279
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: it's all over. At least it's all over in New York.

280
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: It was supposed to happen, it didn't. I'm so frustrated anyway,

281
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: for and take a break, We're gonna look into our

282
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: crystal ball to the vine, the future for Leonard four

Speaker 1: Nette and care Darryl Patterson. Which NFC South running back

284
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,080

00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,880

Speaker 1: Waddle with his first career one hundred yard game that

297
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: helps him land as the wide receiver one, Kendrick Born

298
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: twenty three points for him the wide receiver for Deebo

299

Speaker 1: Samuel with the wide receiver six. Did it with just

300
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: one match in the ball game, So you know, go

301
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,880

Speaker 1: with four teen. Let's talk about a couple of the

304
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: running backs that were on that list yet, Leonard Fournett

305
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: who had the huge game four touchdowns that mentioned Cordaro

306
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Patterson having another solid game as part of what's been

307
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: an outstanding year for him. Um understanding that the situations

308
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: may change. I know that four Nette is expected to

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: be a free agent at the end of the season.

310
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Very well could resign in Tampa. Cordaro Patterson sort of

311
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: playing a role that nobody anticipated. But if you were

312
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: looking at these two guys for next year, which one

313
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: are you drafting first and where are you taking him?

314
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: I think it would be Leonard four Nett and I

315
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: am comfortable if he is back with the Tampa Bay

316
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Bucks taking him in the second round. I don't think

317
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: he's a first round UH pick. And the thing with

318
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Cordello Patterson he is an amazing story. He is playing great.

319
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: It's gonna be thirty one years old, first best year

320
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: of his career. I I'm a little bit worried of

321
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: trusting him again, at least investing as highly as I

322
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: think it might cost to get him. But with Leonard

323
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: four Nette, uh, I know, he he he has been

324
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: better than we give him credit forward throughout his NFL career,

325
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: and he's showing this year. I mean, Ronald Jones also

326
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: could be gone out of Tampa next year, so it

327
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: could be really Leonard for Nett getting even potentially more

328
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: volume here. So I think this is a really good question, Eileen,

329
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: with with playoff Lenny, who I'm thinking next year will

330
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: be second round Lenny, I you know, I I can

331
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: certainly understand and respect that I'm gonna at least make

332
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: the case for Cordarrel Patterson in the sense that, uh,

333
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: you know, the who knows what the Falcons may do

334
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: in the draft if they go and try to add

335
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: a running back, but they have found something that seems

336
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: to be working for them more than anything else that

337
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: can go to consistently, and they have found ways to

338
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: use him, uh, sort of as a Swiss army knife.

339
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they primarily have him in the

340
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: backfield as a running back, but we have seen at

341
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: times when they've been shorthanded at wide receiver they line

342
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: him up out wide. They can use his wide receiver

343
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: skills and do that as well. Um, so I think

344
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: there's an opportunity. Now. The other part of it, though,

345
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: is I don't think he's gonna go as high as

346
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: for Net will you know. I think for Net probably

347
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: is a second round pick in a lot of leagues.

348
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: I see Patterson as a guy that slips to the third,

349
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe even the fourth round, depending on what happens in

350
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: Atlanta in the off season. But um, I think this

351
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: is interesting. I mean, I think I think they have

352
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: maybe hit on something that maybe Arthur Smith has found

353
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: a new Jinger piece that that he can kind of

354
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: play with a little bit. So I'm I'm curious, I'm intrigued.

355
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: I also think it's funny and and Twitter pointed this

356
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: out yesterday that two of the top running backs in

357
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: the league over the past couple of weeks have been

358
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: wide receivers between Rodoin Patterson uh and Deebo Samuel, which

359
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: does not does not bode well for any of the

360
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, anti rbs don't matter people. It's it's bad.

361
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: Although maybe maybe these guys will devalue themselves by becoming

362
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: running backs. I don't know. I don't know how this

363
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: narrative works. Have shout out to uh Arthur Smith too,

364
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: I mean, car Daryl Patterson, Corey Davis, Ryan Tanhill. If

365
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: you are an NFL player struggling to get going, just

366
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: go play for Arthur Smith for a year. He'll get

367
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: the most out of you. Right, So maybe that's the narrative. Right.

368
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: We kept saying that maybe it was getting away from

369
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Adam Gates, like maybe some of it was going to

370
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith, Like maybe that's part of what some of

371
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: the issue is some of these guys. Another guy who

372
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: had a big week Jalen Waddle, as I mentioned his

373
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: first career one hundred yard receiving game. He is your

374
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver one heading into Monday nights. Um, the schedule

375
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: looks really nice for him. Can he be a league

376
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: winner this year? I definitely think he can. I mean,

377
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: he is the unquestioned top target for the Miami Dolphins.

378
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: Like since Week six, he's giving you nearly ten targets

379
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: per game. He has a percent targets share, and he's

380
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: eight giving you over eight teen Fantasy points per game

381
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: in that span. All three of those rank in the

382
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: top eight amongst wide receivers in at spans, So he's

383
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: getting a lot of volume. We know he's explosive. You

384
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: see there what he could do. He's both explosive after

385
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: the catch and on long, deep type of passes. So

386
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: I think he definitely has league winning potential in Marcus,

387
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: you brought up the schedule. It's very favorable these next

388
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So I think if you have Jalen Waddle,

389
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: you just continue to ride this and and hopefully he

390
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: continues to just get this sort of volume because we

391
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 1: know what he could do with it when he gets it.

392
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: That's funny because you know we have we've kind of

393
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: spun the wheel of rookie wide receivers. You know, Jamar

394
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: Chase came out of the gates hot and and with

395
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: everybody's favorite for a while. Devonte Smith has picked things

396
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: up in kind of the mid portion of the season. Uh.

397
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: Now maybe the spotlight is turning toward Jalen Waddle a

398
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. And by the way, we are going

399
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: to talk some League Winners a little bit later on

400
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: in the show, so definitely stick around for that. Uh

401
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: side note, is Will Fuller ever going to play again?

402
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Like what happened to Will Fundler. It doesn't feel like

403
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: he It's been such a weird year. Like remember early

404
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: in the year they were like, oh, well, we don't

405
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: know I Will Fuller is going to play again, and

406
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: then he came back, and then he went on the

407
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: I R right away. I don't know. Something weird is

408
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: going on there, and it doesn't feel like he's coming

409
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: back anytime soon. But they also have DeVante Parker looming that.

410
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: That's a good point though. If anything slows down Wattle,

411
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: I think it would be I guess the resurgence of

412
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: those two. But Wattle has to still be their top

413
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: target going forward, I would think so. I mean, I

414
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: think they hit on something that they sort of like here,

415
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: so I expect him to get more work as they

416
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: go along. It's just weird. I had to google and

417
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: the Will Fuller right actually still is on the Dolphins right,

418
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Like I had to google and make sure maybe had

419
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: tired right Like, I was like, maybe I did, Maybe

420
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: I missed something. Let me just let me just double

421
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: check on that. Who knows um Alright? Time now for

422
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: I'm salty the part of the show where we talk

423
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: about the guys who broke our hearts and let us down,

424
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: And for you who was that this week? It was

425
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: going to be Miles Sanders until we found out this

426
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: morning that the reason why he struggled was because he

427
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: rolled his ankles. So I'll give Miles Sanders a pass

428
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: and We'll go with Lamar Jackson. Uh, it was rough

429
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: go for Lamar Jackson last night. Four interceptions, a career high.

430
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: He still looks good when he decided to run the ball,

431
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of passes he made yesterday

432
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: that just weren't sharp. And he even said after the

433
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: game like he was struggling to get his normal strength

434
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: on his throws after you know, missing last week due

435
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,239
Speaker 1: to a virus, so he's not fully healthy out I'm

436
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: willing to give him a pass on that. I still

437
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: think Lamar Jackson is a weekly must start option, but

438
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: this was a great spot for him. I expected a

439
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: really big game and he gave you anything but single

440
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: digit fantasy points. And that was kind of the theme

441
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: of the week, right Marcus, Like bad quarterback play on

442
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: the week as a whole, seven quarterbacks top twenty fantasy points.

443
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: That's it. Not good? Yeah, it was rough. I mean

444
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: I say that as somebody who in a two QB

445
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 1: league started both Cam Newton and Jalen Hurts. I mean

446
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Cam got benched for p J Walker. Jalen Hurts had

447
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: one of his worst games of the season. It was,

448
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: and I came into the Sunday thinking like, man, this

449
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: is great. I got Cam and Jalen Hurts like I'm

450
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna just just crush Instead, I got crushed.

451
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Cam benching solely had to be to keep him healthy, right, Like,

452
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: There's no other reason I could think of. I think

453
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: it was they were getting blown out, everything was going bad.

454
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: It just didn't make sense to keep him in the game. Um,

455
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, I know that. I think Matt Rule has

456
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: said that Cam is expected to start next week, but

457
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: also sort of left the door open for p J

458
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: Walker to play in case things go bad. No, I'm

459
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: with you, don't don't do this as well. Um, I

460
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: am salty about Naji Harris having a Really the Steelers

461
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: in general had a terrible, terrible day against the Bengals.

462
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: They got blown out, forty one to ten. They were

463
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: swept by the Bengals in the season series this year,

464
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: but Nagi Harris was pretty much invisible. He played about

465
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: six of the snaps, which is quite a bit less

466
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: than what we're used to seeing from him on a

467
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: weekly basis. He had just eight carries in the ball game.

468
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: I have three receptions for fourteen yards. Ended up with

469
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: just thirty seven yards total, uh, six point seven fantasy

470
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: points it And I guess what was most disappointing was

471
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: that it has felt like he has sort of been

472
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 1: immune to game script, that no matter what the situation was,

473
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: they were still getting him involved because he's been so

474
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: efficient as a pass catcher this year that even if

475
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: they can't run the ball, they can find ways to

476
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: get into him through the air. They didn't do that. Um,

477
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: And right now, the Steelers in general are just kind

478
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: of a mess. They're five five and one. Uh, they're

479
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: they're sort of free falling. Uh, they are currently not

480
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: in a playoff position, and uh, you know, I would

481
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: think they're still gonna try to ride Mashi Harris. But man,

482
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: yesterday was about was about as awful as it gets

483
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: Florio for for Nazi Harris. I think who I agree.

484
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: I think yesterday was like it's the floor game. I

485
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: expect him to bounce back, very, very as soon as

486
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: next week. But who would have thought Marcus going with

487
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: Big Ben another year would have been a bad idea?

488
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: Who who saw that? Except for everybody? You know? Um,

489
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: it's funny too because I remember um in the preseason, Uh,

490
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, all the Pittsburgh media like putting out these

491
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: videos have been like throwing the ball, like just soft tossing,

492
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: and like trying to convinces that Ben was in the

493
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: best shape he had been in a long time. Uh,

494
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: he was ready for a huge season, and it just

495
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: felt it felt forced, it felt like propaganda, and it

496
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: so far has kind of turned out to be that. Um,

497
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: good luck, because you know, there are no real easy

498
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: answers in either free agency or in the draft. So

499
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't know what the steel are gonna do a quarterback.

500
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't look good, So we'll we'll find out about that,

501
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: all right. Weird teams with the with good old quarterbacks

502
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: trying to get rid of them, but the Steelers are

503
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: just just holding tight. I don't get it. It's gonna

504
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: We're just gonna hold on we're gonna hold on forever.

505
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we'll see. We'll see how that works out.

506
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: You probably know what I'm about to say right now,

507
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna say it anyway. You should follow us

511
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,200

Speaker 1: So follow us at the NFL Fantasy. You can follow

513

Speaker 1: me at Marcus Grant. I play the ukulele. It's terrible,

514
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: but it's awesome, so so come check it out. It's

515
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot of a whole lot of awesomeness there

516
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: on your phone. All right. I was thinking about this

517
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: as we turned the page. I guess starting tomorrow to

518
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: week thirteen. Uh, that gives us just a couple of

519
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: weeks left in the fantasy regular season. So this is

520
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: the time you are looking at your roster and trying

521
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: to figure out if you have some guys that can

522
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: help you win a title. So I put together four names, uh,

523
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: and we can decide if these are a league winner

524
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: or bust. If they're gonna get you to a championship

525
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: or whether or not we have concerns about them. So

526
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: the first one is Antonio Gibson, who. Uh. If you

527
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: watched NFL Fantasy Game Day on Sunday, you might have

528
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: known that one Kimmy Checks has a bone to pick

529
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: with Antonio Gibson. She spent the whole show being super

530
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: salty every time his name came up. Uh. And for

531
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: for some good reason, for a guy who came off

532
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: the board in the second round in a lot of leagues,

533
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: he has severely underperformed. I mean, there was a point

534
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: in the year where j D mckissic was a much

535
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: more viable and productive option. But the schedule is kind

536
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: of nice for the Washington football team starting tonight, and

537
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: we'll talk about a little bit about it later on

538
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: when we talked at Monday night football game. The schedule

539
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: is very nice. Do we have any faith though, that

540
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson's going to turn things around and end up

541
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: being a league winner for you? I think you could

542
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: win a championship with Antonio Gibson as like your RB two.

543
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: I do not think though, he will be the reason

544
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: you are going to win said championship. I mean four

545
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: of this last five games he's been held into single

546
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: digit Fantasy points, and the game coming off to buy

547
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: in the toughest matchup against the Bucks, he looks good.

548
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: He rushed for two touchdowns, he scored twenty two fantasy points,

549
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: and we were like, all right, Antonio Gibson's back. Then

550
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: last week just seven and a half fantasy points, did

551
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: have ninety yards, but also had a fumble. To me,

552
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: even in a good matchup like this, And I was

553
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: talking on the Sunday Show about how I like Antonio

554
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: Gibson this week. He's still just more of a mid

555
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 1: to low end RB two for me, because the catches

556
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: are gonna go to j D mckissic. You're hoping that

557
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: he gets a touchdown if you use him. Otherwise there's

558
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: always the possibility of single digits, because he's given a

559
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: single digits more often than not this year. So I

560
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: think that he is more of an RB two that

561
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: could have some nice games and some favorable matchups, but

562
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,199
Speaker 1: I am not expecting him to go on like a

563
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: league winning type of run. You know that that game

564
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: against the Bucks, I think really is what threw us off, right,

565
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: because as you mentioned that was. That was the tough matchup,

566
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: That was the one that we were all worried about.

567
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: That was the one where I was big on j

568
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: D mckissic because it felt like Washington was going to

569
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: be chasing in that game and having to throw the

570
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: ball instead. You know, they get a couple of turnovers,

571
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: they jump out to a lead, it ends up being

572
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: a positive game script and Gibson gets a whole lot

573
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: of touches. But the inconsistency has been so great, and

574
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: I think for me what has been most frustrating about

575
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: him is his lack of usage in the passing game.

576
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we we talked so much last year about

577
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 1: how he was a converted wide receiver that really had

578
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: taken to the running back position so well, and we

579
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: thought that, Okay, well, maybe this year is when they

580
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: open it up, they let him use some of those

581
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver skills, they get him involved in the passing game,

582
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: and instead it's been very heavily j D mckissic there,

583
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: So I'm sort of with you. I think the schedule

584
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: is nice enough that he can have some really nice

585
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: games for you, But I think the idea of him

586
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: being that RB one that we wanted him to be

587
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: that you probably spent a second round pick on. I

588
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: think that's done now, and so maybe he's a good

589
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: complimentary piece. But you're right, he's he's not the guy

590
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: that's going to carry you to a Fantasy championship this

591
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: year unless you know, look something crazier things have happened.

592
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: But but just what we've seen this this far, uh

593
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: doesn't suggest that that's gonna happen anytime soon. Um. Jamaar

594
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: Chase and I don't think we've talked about this a lot,

595
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: certainly not on this but after his hot start of

596
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: the season, the last month six weeks or so I

597
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: have not been too spectacular. I mean, we've seen te

598
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Higgins step it up and have some good games, but

599
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase has been kind of invisible. I think a

600
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: lot of defenses are taking him away. Uh down the stretch.

601
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Do we see early season Jamaar Chase or is this

602
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: the guy that that is going to kind of be

603
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: with us for the rest of the year. I have

604
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: I do have a lot of concerns about Jamaar Chase,

605
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: but I will say he definitely has league winning abilities

606
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: because of what he could just do as a field Stretcher,

607
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: and you talk about his struggles as of late. In

608
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: the first seven games he played, his lowest fantasy point

609
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: total was thirteen point four Fantasy points. In the last month,

610
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: his highest is thirteen point one. So in the last

611
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: month his best game is worse than his worst game

612
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: over the first seven weeks. But that being said, he

613
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: is still one of the best field Stretcher is one

614
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: of the better downfield threats in the NFL. So while

615
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling yearly as confident in him as I was,

616
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: say a month ago, even a couple of weeks ago,

617
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: I do think that you still start him each week,

618
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: even if it says a wide receiver three or a

619
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: flex option, because of the upside that he brings the

620
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: next you know, like next week, it's a couple next

621
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks are tough matchups, but it eases towards

622
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: the end of the year. I'm not ready to say

623
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: this guy is going to win you a championship just yet,

624
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: but I definitely think, uh he has that in him.

625
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: He could definitely go on a hot streak and just

626
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: like we saw earlier in the year, just put teams

627
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: on his back. And I think because we've seen the

628
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: ceiling and how high it is. That is why you're

629
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: starting him every week, because any one of those games

630
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: is possible at any time. Um. It is just frustrating

631
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: because it seems like defenses are really out to take

632
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: him away. And look, it even happened on Sunday with

633
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals still having a huge day and getting that

634
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: big win. Uh, three catches thirty nine yards, that was

635
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: it for Jamaar Chase. So defenses are really scheming to

636
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: take him out of the game plan. Now, maybe Zach

637
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: Taylor in the offense they figure something out to get

638
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: him involved again. But uh, it is it's very worrisome

639
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: what we have seen. Um. And so I think I

640
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: don't think his game play right now is league winning

641
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: type gameplay, but he has a he has a league

642
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: winning ceiling, and I think that's the reason people are

643
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna stick with him, just because, UM, you just you

644
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: just can't really fade him at any point because the

645
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: big game is always right around the corner there. Um.

646
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin kind of the middle of the road schedule

647
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: the rest of the way for the Washington football team.

648
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: And again he does play on Monday Night against the Seahawks,

649
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: but the talent is outside another situation like Jamaar Chase

650
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: right where we know what the ceiling is, we know

651
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: how high it can be. Um, it's been sort of

652
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: me lately. But but do we think Scary Terry can

653
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: scare you up a championship this year? I definitely think

654
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: he can. Will he That's gonna come down to Taylor

655
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: Heineke and uh and how he plays. But the schedule

656
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: doesn't scare me. You mentioned Seattle, after that it's Vegas,

657
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Eagles, Dallas Eagles. Like that doesn't really scare me

658
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot. I think Terry mclauren has proven to

659
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: be matchup proof at this point in his career. It's

660
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: more is the quarterback going to connect with Terry McLaurin.

661
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: He gets safe volume each week. He's one of the

662
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: better field stretchers in the NFL. I think he is

663
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: one of the most underrated players in the NFL, and

664
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: he just needs a consistent quarterback to take him into

665
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: that like elite tier receivers um. But that being said,

666
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: based on the targets, the air yards he sees each week,

667
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: I definitely think Scary Terry has a league winning upside.

668
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm yeah, I'm I'm all in on Terry McLaurin. Uh.

669
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: Like you said, he has sort of been matchup proof,

670
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: he's been fairly quarterback proof so far. I also sort

671
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: of secretly pray that he doesn't turn into Allen Robinson

672
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: two point oh, just a really talented receiver who can

673
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: never get help at the quarterback position. But I feel

674
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: like all the pieces are there, and I think, especially

675
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: because Washington, like just about every other team in the NFL,

676
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: is still in playoff contention, at some point they're just

677
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: gonna turn to their guy and say, hey, look, Terry,

678
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: we need you to carry us, especially with Antonio Gibson

679
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: sort of underperforming. Uh, you know, I know what Logan

680
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: Thomas expected back, So that's going to be a help

681
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: to the offense. But but I think at some point

682
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: they just decide we are going to go as far

683
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: on offense, at least as our star wide receiver can

684
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: can carry us. So I I still believe that Terry McLaurin, Uh,

685
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: it's potentially a league winner for you, maybe even more

686
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: than than some of the other guys we've mentioned so

687
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: far in this segment. Last one, and this to me,

688
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: is maybe an interesting conversation, maybe even a bigger conversation

689
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: that we have at some point down on the road.

690
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: But Kyle Pitts um, you know, he's had a couple

691
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: of nice games. I don't think he's had the sustained

692
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: breakout period that any of us expected, and in the

693
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: last few weeks have been to be honest, it's been

694
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: pretty bad. It's been pretty bleak for him the last

695
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: few weeks. I guess that is why six people on

696
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: your poll went with Pat Friar muth as opposed to

697
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 1: Guy Pits. Do we believe he can somehow muster it

698
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: up in the last few weeks to help you get

699
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: a title? No, No, Unfortunately, at this point, I think

700
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is looking closer to waiver wire fodder than

701
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: I think league winning tight end um. And a lot

702
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: of it is the usage man like he had that

703
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: stretch you were talking about Marcus where he had over

704
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty three Fantasy points in those two games and back

705
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: to back games over eight targets in each, over a

706
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: hundred air yards in each. Since then, the air yards

707
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: he has one game over eighty. He has no games

708
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: with at least eight targets Um, part of it is

709
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: on him. I think part of it too is that

710
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: with Calvin Ridley out, defense is now we're throwing everything

711
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: they can to stop in Kyle Pitts because the Falcon's

712
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 1: offense really is Pitts and cor Darrel Patterson and that's it.

713
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: But Pitts has struggled in that aspect and the usage

714
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: just hasn't been there. So right now I still had

715
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: him as someone I'm not quite ready to drop. But

716
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: last night when I put out the question on Twitter,

717
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: like who are you dropping this week? A lot of

718
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: people said Kyle Pitts. And honestly, at this point, it's

719
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 1: getting harder and harder to blame them. He's had less

720
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: than thirty receiving yards in back to back games. Uh.

721
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: In fact, in three of his last five games he's

722
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: had less than thirty receiving yards. Had a game not

723
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: too long ago with just thirteen. Um. Yeah, it's you know,

724
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: like I said, we he had those those games, as

725
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned, with a hundred yards back to back, we thought, okay,

726
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: this is it, Like the unicorn has finally shown himself. Um.

727
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: And since then he's been caged. Defenses have figured out like, hey,

728
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: let's just take this guy away and make it hard

729
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: on the Falcons throw the football, and uh, you know,

730
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 1: I think this is some of the perils of not

731
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: only being a rookie, but being a highly touted rookie

732
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: that is supposed to be the next great thing. And

733
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:45,839
Speaker 1: right now Kyle Pitts is kind of struggling with that,

734
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 1: uh in his production is suffering as a result. And

735
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: uh yeah, a guy that we thought could maybe be

736
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: a really nice option for you really is is starting

737
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: to slide down the tight end rankings right now. So um,

738
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm curious to see what are evaluate

739
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: and of him is going to be at the end

740
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: of the season. If we consider him to be, you know,

741
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: a bust this year, if he's just a rookie tight end. Uh,

742
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, there was so much chatter about him before

743
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: the season started in either the middle of the year.

744
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, and I don't I don't necessarily

745
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: have a full position. I don't want to say I'm like,

746
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: you know, signing one way or another. I just want

747
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: to know what the conversation is going to be and

748
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: how we feel about him once the year is uh

749
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: is all over, It's gonna be interesting tight uh tie

750
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: for another break, but when we come back, we'll dive

751
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: into the week thirteen waiver wire, which fantasy free agents

752
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: can help beef up your roster. Find out after the

753
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 1: break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Taking a look

754
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire options for Week thirteen, Michael le Florio,

755
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: please take us through your list. Carson Wentz, who was

756
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: dropped in a lot of leagues after down couple of weeks,

757
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: good week this week and now gets the Houston Texans

758
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: next week. Tysom Hill. Look, they just paid him. He

759
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: was the backup quarterback. The Saints continue to lose with

760
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon. At some point I think they make a

761
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: change Trevor Lawrence. This is just a deep league thing

762
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 1: as he has a favorable schedule after next week's match

763
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: up against the Rams. Alexander Madison. We spoke on him.

764
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: We're going to continue to speak about him. He's the

765
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: top waiver wire target this week. The Titans running backs,

766
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: despite being on by We're getting clarity in that backfield.

767
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: I think they are worthy of picking up. That's don

768
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: Chill Hilliard and Deonty Foreman, Boston Scott just because it

769
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: is the Jets next week and Miles Sanders hurt his ankles,

770
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: so Scott could be in for a huge day. The

771
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: Panthers backs Hubbard and Abdullah just in case CMC misses,

772
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: and then Matt Brita, who has been getting more work

773
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: in the Bill's backfield. And then some receivers and tight ends.

774
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: You can take a shot on Van Jefferson continues to

775
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: see big volume in three wide receiver sets. There for

776
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 1: the Rams, Marquez Valdes Scantling has nineteen targets in his

777
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: last two games combined. I don't care that he's on

778
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: by next week. I think you take a shot on him.

779
00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton gets the tech since next week we

780
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: know he thrives against them. He's been getting consistent volume.

781
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds is looking like the Lions wide receiver one.

782
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Kendrick Boorne is really stepping up. I believe he's like

783
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: the wide receiver three since week three or something crazy

784
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: like that. Nick Westbrook a Kina just because someone needs

785
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: to catch the ball in Tennessee de Sean Jackson who

786
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: got more volume, Leabisco Channel who got more volume. And

787
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: then if you're in need of tight end, col Comet

788
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: continues to see safe volume each week, and Jack Doyle

789
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: has been utilized more as of late for the Colts.

790
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: So a little bit of a deeper name there for

791
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 1: tight end Ill that Jack Doyle never quite goes away

792
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: from our lives. Also, Josh Reynold, how many how many

793
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers have the Lions been through this year? Right?

794
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: I mean you know I was pushing the aman Ross

795
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 1: st Brown, you know Fallacy for a while. Uh Clif

796
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: Raymond stepped up for a minute. Now it's uh, we're

797
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: onto Josh Reynolds just week one. Oh yeah, yeah, I

798
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: forgot about I forgot about that too. Yeah. That that's

799
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: also part of it. Uh, it was just cycling through

800
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: guys man At it's a bad scene there in Detroit. Um,

801
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about the You had a couple of Titans

802
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: running backs on that list, between the Don Trelle Hilliard

803
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: and Deontay foreman Um. Obviously you know Adrian Peterson is

804
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: no longer there, so it is kind of between these

805
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: two guys. Hilliard the last couple of weeks has been

806
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: the better of the two. Uh, which which one of

807
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: them would you want? You know, if you if you

808
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: have to pick between one of them in the next

809
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: week or two, Which one are you are you aiming for?

810
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: I would take the upside shot on Dontrell Hilliard. Not

811
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 1: only is he seeing more volume in the passing game,

812
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: and we know that those are very valuable, but he's

813
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: also shown a little bit more burst. I think he

814
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: looks a little bit more explosive for I mean, both

815
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: of those guys rushed for over a hundred yards yesterday.

816
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: Foreman did get a good amount of work in the

817
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: fourth quarter eight carries, nearly forty rushing yards in the

818
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: fourth when they were getting blown out and down, you know,

819
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: over multiple scores. So I still think Hilliard because it's

820
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 1: a team that is going to struggle to pass the

821
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: ball and I think that's gonna lead to a lot

822
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: of upoffs for the running backs. But that being said,

823
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean Foreman did see a little bit more work

824
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: near the goal line. I think both of these two

825
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: are worthy of picking up, and I would actually prioritize

826
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: them just after Alexander Madison. Yeah, I mean obviously think

827
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, we'll talk about the top waiver wire target

828
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: though I think it's a pretty clear answer. But hill

829
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: You does sort of look like the guy, and I

830
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: think it's it's what you mentioned that that passing game

831
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: upside that gives him the advantage there. I mean, we

832
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: saw that a couple of weeks ago. When will your

833
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: first sort of burst on the scene in a week.

834
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 1: We thought maybe it would be a deyance forman week

835
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: instead it wasn't. So that's kind of the guy that

836
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: I would lean toward there. I mean, look, if you

837
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: are at this point, if you are in need of

838
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: running back help, there's not a lot of it you're

839
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: going to find out there on the waiver wire, So

840
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 1: you can't necessarily, you know, expect huge performances out of

841
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: these guys, but the opportunity is going to be there

842
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: as long as Derrick Henry's out, So I think it's

843
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: worth kind of keeping an eye on them. Um, your team,

844
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, they are I don't know, I don't know.

845
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 1: The term frustrating annoying when it comes to their running

846
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: back situation means Zack Moss. It seemed like was like

847
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: the guy that they wanted not long ago then on

848
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: Sunday or on Thursday. Rather, he was a healthy scratch.

849
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: Uh and Matt Brita for the second week in a row,

850
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 1: comes in and and has a decent game. So it

851
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,359
Speaker 1: looks like Brita is a thing for now. I mean,

852
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: can we trust this? Can we can we trust Sean

853
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: McDermott and this offense to make Matt Brina a thing

854
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: for the short term. I think we could trust it

855
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: in the sense that he's worthy of taking a flyer

856
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: and picking up off the waiver wire. But that being said,

857
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: I said a lot of names at the running back

858
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: position on that board. I would take a shot on

859
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: all of those names before I would Matt Breta, like

860
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: the Bills coaching staff is talking up what he brings

861
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: and that his speed and I mean no offense is

862
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: Zach Mors or Devon Singletary those two they lack some explosiveness,

863
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: but it was still Devon Singletary leading the way. He

864
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: had sixteen carries this past week. Matt Breedas looked good

865
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: in two of his three games for Fantasy Purpose says,

866
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: but it's because he scored touchdowns. So I think that

867
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: Brita has a lot of upside because of what he

868
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: brings with that speed and explosiveness. But he is still

869
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: just playing a secondary role here behind Devin Singletary, So

870
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: as of now, I think he is more like a

871
00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: a upside flyer and not someone that I would be

872
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: looking to start next week against the Patriots. I did

873
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: play Matt Brita this past week and kind of a

874
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: desperation spot start, and uh it worked out, you know,

875
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 1: I got I think thirteen points are so out of him.

876
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: So that was that was cool, But it's not something

877
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: that I feel comfortable, uh doing on a regular basis. Um.

878
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: I just I want to believe in what I just

879
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: I want the Bills to believe in one of their

880
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: running backs, right Like I like Devin Singletary, some people

881
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: like Zac Moss. That's cool. I just need the Bills

882
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: to like decide on one of these guys instead of

883
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: making our lives frustrating all the time. And then you

884
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: still gotta worry about Josh Allen because he's a safe

885
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: bet to leave them in in rushing yards and TVs

886
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: each week, right exactly. So it's just a frustrating situation

887
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: all around there. Uh So I guess it's a simple,

888
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: simple answer, right your Your top waiver target of the

889
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: week is Alexander Madison. The only player that I think

890
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: this is a good waiver wire week. Don't get me wrong,

891
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: but there is one player on the waiver wire that

892
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: I think could win you your league, and it is

893
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison. So that's what I'm saying. Like, And if

894
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 1: you're in a FAB league, Marcus, I would spend a

895
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent of my remaining fab to get Alexander Madison.

896
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: Because when is a player of this caliber gonna pop

897
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: up again on the waiver wire. It probably won't happen

898
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: again this season. No, I probably won't. It's it's probably

899
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: you know, your best shot, and you know it's it's

900
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 1: not very often that you get somebody on the waiver

901
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: wire of this caliber this late in the year. Normally,

902
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 1: your your waiver wire stars and your waiver wire heroes

903
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: hit early in the season. Uh, this is one worth

904
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: happening late in the year, and uh yeah, this is

905
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: this could be interesting. Real quick side note, Um, at

906
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: this point in the the year, would you rather have Van

907
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: Jefferson or Odell Beckham. I would rather have Van Jefferson.

908
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: I think both of them are I think it's gonna

909
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: be kind of similar, They're gonna get similar production, But

910
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 1: I just think Van Jefferson, uh is a better field

911
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: stretcher at this point in his career and he knows

912
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: the offense, but it is close each week. I kind

913
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: of ranked those guys almost back to back. Is like

914
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver threes with with high upside. Yeah, O'Dell had

915
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: his his first Rams touchdown yesterday, had a nice game

916
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: eighty eighty one yards I believe it was, and the

917
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: touchdown Van Jefferson with ninety one yards and a touchdown.

918
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: I feel like Van can do more with less, and

919
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: so maybe that's the reason. Also, I have just been

920
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: a stand for him since the preseason, so I'm I'm

921
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: not really backing down off of that at this point.

922
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 1: One play with the Browns longer than he had yesterday

923
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: with the Rams. Wow, that's man shan Shan McVey trying

924
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: to pump some life back into him. Even though the

925
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: Rams are kind of free falling right now. They made

926
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: these big acquisitions, uh, and they haven't won a game

927
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: since they've done that, So we'll see. But they have

928
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars next week, so if there's a chance to

929
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 1: get right, uh, it's next week against Jacksonville, so we'll see.

930
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want more waiver wire options,

931
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: check out Florio's column, NFL dot Com slash Waiver Wire.

932
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's drop this show up talking about the

933
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: Monday night football game that will conclude Week twelve is

934
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: Seattle Washington. Seattle, Washington, UH, the Seahawks and the football

935
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: team from the nation's capital tonight. UH. And Russell Wilson

936
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: has not been cooking all that much since coming back

937
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 1: from a finger injury, to the point that people are

938
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: legitimately wondering whether or not he is a startable option

939
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: UH anymore, at lest until things get better. So let's

940
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: say fifteen points. Let's put the over under at fifteen

941
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: points for Russell Wilson. I will also throw in the

942
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: added information that today is Russell Wilson's thirty third birthday.

943
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: So will he have a happy birthday and get more

944
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: than fifteen Fantasy points? I think so, with the caveat

945
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: that if he doesn't, I'm I'm firmly sitting Russell Wilson

946
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: moving forward, at least until he shows us otherwise. I mean,

947
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: Washington has allowed more fantasy points two quarterbacks than any

948
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: team in the NFL this year, basically every quarterback except

949
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: for two, and Tom Brady was one of the two,

950
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: which is strange has topped twenty two Fantasy points against them.

951
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in his last two games combined hasn't reached

952
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: fifteen Fantasy points. But I'm giving him the benefit of

953
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: the doubt that now he's had some extra time for

954
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: that finger to heal, it is a good matchup if

955
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen this week, though, Marcus, I'm going to

956
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: be very, very worried about him. I am gonna buy

957
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 1: in and say that, yes, he he gets more than

958
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: fifteen Fantasy points tonight, which you know would seem you know,

959
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: if we were asking this question in August, people would

960
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: be like, well, of course he is. What are you

961
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: talking about. That's insane. But here we are just after Thanksgiving,

962
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: and it's a legitimate question, especially because the last few

963
00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: weeks have been really bad. His last few fantasy totals, Uh,

964
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: he was under nine, he was under six. Uh. In fact,

965
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: he hasn't scored more than nine Fantasy points since way

966
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: back in Week four. Obviously he missed some time because

967
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: of the finger injury, but it kind of speaks to

968
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: how he's been struggling. But I think this is a

969
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: chance to at least kind of get things going back

970
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: in the right direction. I don't think it's gonna be spectacular,

971
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: but I think it'll be better than what we've seen

972
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: from him over the last few weeks. Who has the

973
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: bigger game at wide receiver Dk Metcalf or Terry mclauren.

974
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with DK Metcalf here is solely because

975
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: of the match of Washington. While they allow a bunch

976
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: of fantasy points to quarterbacks, they're also up there against

977
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: receivers as well, And if I'm expecting a bigger day

978
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: out of Russ, I think it leads to a bigger

979
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 1: day for DK Metcalf as well. I'm gonna I'm gonna

980
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: go with Terry mclauren in this one. I think DK

981
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: has a pretty nice game today, but I think mclauren

982
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: just because there are a fewer places to go with

983
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,359
Speaker 1: the football. I think for Russ, at least he knows

984
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: he can get it over to Tyler Lockett occasionally and

985
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: have him make some plays. In the Washington passing game,

986
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: it's pretty much just Terry McLaurin. And you know, I mean,

987
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: you can, I guess come to me with DeAndre Carter

988
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: or somebody like that. But but this is a pretty

989
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: funneled passing game, as I think for that reason, just

990
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: the the prospect of more targets for Terry McLaurin against

991
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: a bad Seahawks defense, That's why I would I would

992
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: lean slightly towards scary Terry. Last one, we talked about

993
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson and his struggles this year. Let's put the

994
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: over under at twelve. Would you go higher or lower

995
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: for Gibson tonight? I'm going higher. I I did speak

996
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: him up a lot on Sunday. I sure the matship.

997
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,880
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about it because I mean, twelve

998
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: fantasy points would be more than he's had in four

999
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: of his last five games. But the Seahawks allow these

1000
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 1: second most fantasy points to running backs on the year,

1001
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: and I think Washington is gonna try to keep this

1002
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: game kind of close. I think they're gonna try to

1003
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: run the ball early a good amount. So I'm saying

1004
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: over twelve fantasy points. But similar to Russell Wilson, like Gibson,

1005
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: if you don't come through tonight, we're gonna have to

1006
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: have a talk after this game or something like that.

1007
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: I will also take the over here just because I

1008
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: think the matchup is good, and I think, you know,

1009
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: the game script will at least stay reasonable for most

1010
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: of it. I don't. I don't expect either one of

1011
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: these teams to run out and hide tonight. So I

1012
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: think both of them kind of stick to their their

1013
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: regular game plans, and I think that will help Gibson, uh,

1014
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, kind of stay competitive and stay relevant in

1015
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 1: this game. It has not been great, but I think

1016
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: tonight will be a decent night. Um, we should we

1017
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,359
Speaker 1: should check in with Kimmy Checks to see what would

1018
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: be an acceptable number to get from Antonio Gibson that

1019
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: would make her. You may be right, I've never seen

1020
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: that upset about a player that was that was new.

1021
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: It was kind of fun. You were non salty one, Marcus,

1022
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: because I was. I was saying about Mac Jones, I know,

1023
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: and then Mac Jones actually ended up having a pretty

1024
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:44,720
Speaker 1: good game. Uh. People say, well they beat the Titans,

1025
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: after the Titans beat the Bills. Context matters. Let's let's

1026
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: look at were missing yesterday. Next Monday is gonna be

1027
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: I'm fired up already for that one. Bill's Patriots should

1028
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun and it will tell us

1029
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: a lot about both of those teams. We'll figure out,

1030
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: like you know, how much of this winning streak is

1031
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 1: is real or a mirage. We'll figure out if the

1032
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: Bills are ready to uh maybe regain control of the

1033
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 1: a f C East so that that'll be fun, and

1034
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: we will talk about plenty of that uh and more

1035
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. In the meantime, for us, that is it.

1036
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: We are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the

1037
