1
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am Dale Lally. He is Matt Williamson,

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: and it is time for the Fantasy Football Focus, and

3
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,239
Speaker 1: as we usually do on Tuesdays, we'll take a look

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 1: at some uh some pickups for this week. This is

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. Six teams off in Week fourteen. That is

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: so late a year. It's ridiculously late in here's some

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: teams even there. Some leagues even started their playoffs. Imagine

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: having a playoff game. You know, Oh, I don't know

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor six. Yeah, right, And we were just talking

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: about justin fields. Wait, I have four starters coming up

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: and they're off this week. I mean one of them

12
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: the kicker and easily replaceable. But man, I mean you

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: really I didn't play ahead. I mean, I'll be honest,

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: trying to get as many wins as you can. It's

15
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: like tough to look into week four two. One. Am

16
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 1: I gonna have a Week fourteen? I'll be honest. I

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: mean I knew that bye weeks went to Week four team,

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,959
Speaker 1: but I thought there was only two teams this late.

19
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Shocked there six it's six. It's Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis,

20
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and Washington now House, But there are players

21
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: in each one of those teams that you start every

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: week without questions, Like you're starting Cordarrell Patterson, you're starting

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: justin fields, you're starting, uh and in the league like Iris.

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a lot on the waiver wire. No,

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: I'll just pick somebody up, you know. Or this is

26
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: the kind of week, and my team is a perfect example.

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna to cut somebody I really want to

28
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: hold on too, just to get a starter that is breathing,

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: you know upright? Um, yeah, So it's it's ugly. Uh

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: looking at streaming defenses this week. Um, that's the other

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: part of that equation, is you want to stream your

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: defense against some of those teams that are off indeed

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: maybe or like that, And none of those defenses are

34
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: tremendous right there, None of them are every week starters. Uh.

35
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: So the Thursday night game this week is the Raiders

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: at the Rams. We know that might be Baker Baker

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield on three days, two days, two days, two days.

38
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: He's got picked up now. Yeah, and if they're talking

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: about starting him, they didn't rule it out, that's what

40
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: they said. I mean, he's on he's probably on a

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: plane to Los Angeles right now, probably, and then I

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about cramming in Los Angeles

43
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: the Raiders d is horrific, but there it must start. Yeah,

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: they're streaming, Yeah, you can stream mass You're gonna have

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: four sacks. It's a bad I mean you would you

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: would think about streaming them period against the Rams, regardless

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: of who the quarterback would be. I mean, I may

48
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: play Houston's defense against the Rams right now. I mean

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: it's I don't have anybody, uh, the big game one

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: o'clock Jets at Bills. You're obviously you're starting the Bill's defense.

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: Can you stream the Jets defense this week? Probably low

52
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: in the top it's probably not. And it's been a

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: good defense, but not against Buffalo in Buffalo after you

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: beat them earlier in the year. I mean, you only

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: have twenty six choices this week. I don't know if

56
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: the Jet to be in the top twelve. The Browns

57
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: are at the Bengals, Yes on Bean, Yeah, I can't play.

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: Can't play the Browns defenses, and they're coming off of

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: like a thirty point game last week against Houston. Yeah. Yeah,

60
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: speaking of which, Houston is at Dallas. Dallas might be

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: a five thousand dollar defense. This week, they're gonna set

62
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: the record. I mean, how many sacks the Parson's gonna have.

63
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: I mean, god, that's gonna be ugly. You think you

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: were happy about having Dallas defense last week? This week

65
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings are at the Lions. Can you stream either

66
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: one of them? And I don't think you can no one? No, Yeah,

67
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean the Lions d is better, but that's a

68
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: formidable challenge and the Lions offense is no fun. Not

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: at home. U. The Eagles are at the Giants. Obviously

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: you're playing the Eagles defense, not the Giants defense. Can't

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: stream it, but a lot of these are ones you

72
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: aren't getting cut anyway, Like these are the no brainers

73
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: starts most weeks. Ravens at Steelers both. Yeah, I think

74
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: you can play them both. It's gonna be a low

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: scoring three shows. Yeah, warring game. Um yeah, the Steelers.

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I mean last year against Huntley, I believe they sacked

77
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: him two or three times, maybe four times, and turned

78
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: him over three times. It was just it was a game.

79
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd rather which would rather start. Pittsburgh's at

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: home too. I can't see a lot of sacks though, Yeah,

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean pickets not turning the ball over. Now, maybe

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: that changes this week against a good defense, But I

83
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: mean I would I would bet that he turns it

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: over as opposed to not. I would bet. I would

85
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: bet Huntley has more probably I doubt that a lot

86
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: of sacks though the Steeler d But they're both very usable.

87
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are at the Titans. Both are okay, Yeah,

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: I'm not would you start the Jets over either one

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: of them? Maybe in Buffalo? In Buffalo, Well, here's the problem.

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: The Broncos defense, which has been outstanding, hosts the Chiefs

91
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Adam using Broncos a fair amount. Yeah, I can't play him.

92
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: He can't play him. They'll be on the field the

93
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: whole time. To point that defense has to be like, okay, guy,

94
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta give us twenty minutes, like it's unbelievable. Uh.

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Panthers are at the Seahawks. Seattle is probably usable, it's usable. Yeah,

96
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't think the Panthers are. Yeah, I mean Sam's Arnold. Yeah,

97
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta play you gotta play the Seahawks

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: defense at home. Yeah, I think so. It's just not

99
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: a great unit. And I think Carolina will have success

100
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: running the ball, at least for the first half. Uh,

101
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 1: thet host chance no, no, forty Niners host the Buccaneers. Definitely,

102
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: the Niners definitely. Well, I mean maybe it can't play

103
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks this week. They maybe a top twelve. I

104
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 1: mean they might be quarterback making his first career starts. Yeah, yeah,

105
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean the defense wasn't bad last night. No, they

106
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: were pretty better. They're healthy. They play those low scho

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: we'ring game. They they'll keep it. I mean, I could

108
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: see San Francisco scoring a lot of points after the

109
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 1: catch stuff. I can see. I could see the Buccaneers

110
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: picking him off though, and yeah, turning in for a score. Yeah,

111
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: that's not bad. That's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad. Uh.

112
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins at Chargers m hmm. Neither one of them is

113
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: great about either. Neither one of them is a great defense.

114
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: Can the Dolphins get some sacks in this game? It's

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: like crazy, and that's a terrible blitz team. I probably

116
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: respect the Chargers more than I should. Yeah, but yeah,

117
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: I think Miami's I don't think they can play the Chargers. Yeah,

118
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: that's not a great group in Miami's offense. Score. Yeah,

119
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: that was an anomaly. Last week the Monday night game

120
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Patriots at Cardinals. Patriots, are you can start them? Can

121
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: you start the Cardinals against the Patriots? Are they in

122
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: the top twelve? I mean, there's about as borderline as

123
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: we've talked. Patriots don't score. No, Patriots offense is not good.

124
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: It's in. It's in Arizona, and Arizona weather won't be

125
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: an issue or any of those Arizona is okay. Yeah,

126
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're really hurting better than the Jets

127
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, yeah, okay, the Bills scoring everybody, so the

128
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: Jets are probably just outside the top. Yeah. Probably. I

129
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: mean I bet Buffalo gets to thirty when it's all

130
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: said and done. They kind of always do. Yeah, that's tough.

131
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean Alan does turn it over, though he does.

132
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: He throws some interceptions, maybe get a pick six or

133
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: you know that stuff. I mean, Dallas is to Yeah.

134
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco play again too. That was another good one.

135
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco hosts uh Tampa Bay. Yeah yeah, so yeah,

136
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a bunch of spraining. Yeah. Unfortunately, some

137
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: of the best ones, like ballas in San Francisco, are

138
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the ones that people don't cut, you know, right, Yeah,

139
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: they're not going to be out there. They pay up

140
00:07:53,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: for Dallas. Looking at the waiver wire this week, Yeah, okay,

141
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: one thing I did want to say about defenses here

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: before we move on from that. Real quick look ahead now, yeah,

143
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: were last week or look ahead? If you've been streaming

144
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: defenses all along, look at the playoff matchups? Yeah, yeah,

145
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: pick up, you know, pick up a defensive week ahead

146
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: of time before whoever you might be playing in the

147
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: playoffs can get to that defense. Who's playing Houston, who's

148
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: playing Denver? Yeah, that's a tremendous idea. Who's who's got

149
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: a ram schedule? And pick out the four garbage offenses

150
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: and say, I don't really even care who the defense is.

151
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: But if there's you you mentioned Kansas City plays two

152
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: of those junk ones in the fantasy playoffs. The problem is,

153
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: and I just thought about this now, you probably can't

154
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: do it this week because everybody is so thin. It

155
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: would have to be a next week project and hopefully

156
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: no one catches on by that. Yeah, well, if you

157
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: can afford to do it, do it. Um. Yeah. Looking

158
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: at the waiver wire this week, and there's some again

159
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: quarterback injuries killing Killer super Flex and two quarterback leagues

160
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: or bonkers. No, you're thrilled to have Mike White thrilled? Yeah, well,

161
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Mike White's still owned in just thirteen point eight percent

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: of ESPN leagues. I mean, I'd rather have him than

163
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Baker or Alan in Houston Island, purty Pert right, all right,

164
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Berties pick upable, and there's super Jared Goff is somehow

165
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: available in twenty nine point four percent of leagues. My

166
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: main league, I cut him because I needed a tight

167
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: end bad Jones. I was holding onto Watson and I

168
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: cut golf, which I just was not keeping three quarterbacks

169
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: this time of year. But he's probably a top twelve guy.

170
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Kenny Pickett was six teams off. He's probably

171
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: like fifteen this week, probably because he runs and yeah right,

172
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: you know you get around two hundred yards and forty

173
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: yards rushing and maybe a touchdown and rushing or receiving.

174
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Most golf owners are probably starting him this week. Uh

175
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Ryant hannah Hill owned an eight point eight percent of leagues.

176
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: They got They got the Jaguars this week. It doesn't

177
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: do much for me though, I mean the receiver, I know,

178
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: but I mean I might rather Kenny. You might throw it,

179
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: dump off to Derrick Henry and takes it eight. Yeah,

180
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: I mean Burke's is hurt. I don't know. I mean

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: he's not a bad player. Matt Jones owned in six

182
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: percent of leagues, Tam and Tanne about the same for me.

183
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and Mac doesn't give he's not playing. I looked.

184
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got like one or maybe two games

185
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: this year with two touchdown passes. It's bad. And he

186
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: doesn't run at all. Doesn't run at all? Right, yeah,

187
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: uh can he Pickett nine point nine percent of ownership. Yeah,

188
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean he's in the state root. Huh. Yeah, he

189
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: runs more than most of those guys. He scored twelve

190
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: point fanas twelve plus fantasy points in three of his

191
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: last four games. I mean, I don't think we have

192
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: to tell our listeners this. He's he needs to throw

193
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: more touchdowns. He needs to throw more touchdowns, and making

194
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: fantasy worthy is when he starts throw in touchdown or

195
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: throw for one and run for one or it's just anything. Yeah,

196
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: you know, produce more touchdowns at running back. I'm surprised

197
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: that obviously with Lamar out Tyler Huntley of leagues, he's

198
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: not gonna put up big yardage. But there's a case

199
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: to start him over Mac Jones. I suppose yeah, yeah,

200
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be one and it's gonna be a

201
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: one or two week fix y yeah. Uh running back

202
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: Cam Acres fifty job. Yeah, and he's not a bad players,

203
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: it's a bad offense. He outsnapped Kieran Williams or no. Yeah,

204
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: that's almost feels like though that they're just gonna do

205
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: ride the hot hand and Williams is more of the

206
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: receiving back. So assuming they're losing a lot to the

207
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, probably isn't Acres. They were in that Seattle game. Uh,

208
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: Zonovan Bam Knight owned in thirty nine point three of league.

209
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: I think he's the Jet to own. I'm a spending

210
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: every fab doll, all right. I don't know if I

211
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: want to do that against the Bills this week, right, right, right,

212
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's startable or you know, if

213
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: somebody else picks him up. I'm not gonna cry about it.

214
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: James Cook, five point three percent of you cut him

215
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: last week because you the tight ends. No, yeah, I

216
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: mean he scored at least, but right, I don't know

217
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: the Cook's gonna explode and touchdowns are aways gonna be problem.

218
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: And they were playing the Jets and tough run defense,

219
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: but dynamic young running backs without much wear and tear

220
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: on their body. This late in the year, they usually

221
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: do well. Uh, Travis Homer point six percent of leagues?

222
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Is he the two? Yeah? I mean Walker's band Well

223
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas also had an ankle injury game. And you

224
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: say they picked up somebody, They just picked up the

225
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: veteran running I can't remember who it was. They picked

226
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: somebody running back. Move. Yeah, tells me that they're Homer

227
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: might be the get the most touches. Oh, Homer, I

228
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: mean some the's gonna be open in every league. Kissed

229
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: the football? Yeah, yeah, I mean it's not so bad. Yeah. Uh,

230
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Algier forty one pent ownership there on. By this

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: week it would be a playoff type thing. I guess

232
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: he should be own. He thought he looked prettyod last week. Ye.

233
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a bad player at all. I

234
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: like the way, I mean he gets skinny in the

235
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: hole and slides through. I wish Huntley wasn't a thing

236
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: though it wasn't. How was your owner? You know, I mean,

237
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: cord All, you're not gonna beat out, but you'll play

238
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: a lot and no one the ball a ton, but

239
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: the third back screws things up for you. Yeah. JK.

240
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: Dobbins owned in fifty five point nine percent of leagues.

241
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: I guess you pick them up. But what is he

242
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: at this point? I mean you need to see a

243
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: game or two before you check before you can even

244
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: start him. So yeah, and by then it's you know,

245
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: January wide receiver Michael Gallop owned in forty four point

246
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: one percent of leagues. I think that's a yes. And

247
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: if Odell signs, it doesn't change my tune. Yeah, and

248
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: he's starting to look healthy throwing him, he getting red

249
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: zone targets. Yeah's feature part of a good offense. Uh. Still,

250
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: Donovan People's jones still out there? Do you trust that

251
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: that Cleveland passing game after I mean, he's not startable,

252
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: but he's ownable. Yeah. Um. DeShawn Watson looked like he

253
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: was playing basketball last week. A lot of bounce passes. Yeah,

254
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be Watson's worst game, but but they

255
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: get some tough matchups. Darius Slayton still thirty three point

256
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: four percent ownership on Darius Slayton. He's she should be

257
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: in like percent. Yeah, he just goes out and gets

258
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: ten points every week. It doesn't really matter if he's

259
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: good or not. He's like number one receiver on a team.

260
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: Weeks fifteen through seventeen, the Giants faced the Commanders, not awful,

261
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings and the Colts. Okay, Slayton's usable. Yeah, I

262
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: mean I wish I had him this week. In some leagues,

263
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: d J Shark owned an eighteen point nine percent of leagues.

264
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: He had a good game, right, yeah, healthy. I think

265
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams hurts him. Though Jamison has played, He's owned

266
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: in thirty point three percent of leagues. Played eight snaps

267
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: last week. He kind of got his feet with dip

268
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: his toe in the water. I would like to own

269
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: him though, but again, you can't start him this week.

270
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: Maybe next week, maybe next week. Go well, right, I

271
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: think he hurts Shark to Van Jefferson ownership, he's the one, right,

272
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: he's the only one left. I used to a fair

273
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: amount to Yeah, I mean none of it's good. Yeah, Mayfield,

274
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: don't even other plays player throwing out, throwing it whatever.

275
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, Yeah, Robert Wood ownership. He's going to catch

276
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: the ball, right, right, right, I'd rather have Gallup or

277
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: a couple of names you mentioned, but he's should be

278
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: pretty high on this list. Um Isaiah mackenzie. I think

279
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: he's the truth talked about him. Yeah, he's not. It's

280
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: not sexy, it's not it's not super Yeah, it's not

281
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: super consistent. You know, you sit there and watch a

282
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Bill's game, you go, why aren't throwing the bottom mackenzie again? Why?

283
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't think Davis is that good. Yeah,

284
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and which is good for McKenzie. I don't think Davis

285
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: is a higgen think he can get open right right.

286
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: He runs go routes and we saw he did get Steelers.

287
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: He has one or two of those games a year.

288
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: One was in the playoffs, and everyone thinks he's that's

289
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: who he is. He's James Jones. Yeah, yeah, I mean

290
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: he's not Higgins to chase at all, uh at tight end.

291
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: Greg Dulcin's thirty eight point six percent ownership. A lot

292
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: of fight ends on by He's usable, definitely usable. Um

293
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: had a big game last week. I actually released him

294
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: in our league because I've got Mark Andrews and I'm like,

295
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm never gonna right right, So I just

296
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: let him go in that league. I told you I

297
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: picked up Taysom Hill. That worked out, he got a touchdown.

298
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: But now I'm carrying Taysom Hill to Joe, Tou and Potter.

299
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: None of them are playing this week. He has seven

300
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: guys on by alright, right, and you may cut all

301
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: these guys and you need to win to get into

302
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: the play hopefully to joke you plays, but maybe I'll

303
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: prepared to pick up the dolterers ever Ingram thirty five

304
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: percent ownership. We've talked about him before, solid and it's okay, yeah,

305
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean in this time then landscape, he's somebody should

306
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: be on a roster Hunter Henry, Oh, I can't go there.

307
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: One percent ownership. I don't trust that Patriots passing Ingram

308
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: is more splash at least. Yeah. I mean, I'd much

309
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: rather have dulces at or Ingram. Yeah, I agreed, John

310
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 1: who plays a lot too. Yeah right, and so he's

311
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: fights another layered at his position and a terrible offense.

312
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: But hey, Hunter Henry almost got in the end zone

313
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the other day, like he does that? Yeah, yeah, right right,

314
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: I mean two for Tive and a touchdown isn't gonna

315
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: break the Bank. There aren't many of them, but this

316
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: time of year, I'm always looking for that that running

317
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: back that hasn't hardly played. A lot of them are young.

318
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: They could have a strong end of the season. Maybe

319
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: that's James Cook. Probably not because they got other guys.

320
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean there's when they run their

321
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: quarterback more than the score. You know, maybe they might

322
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: be bam night. It might be bam night. Even if

323
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: he's not great. It doesn't have to be great. Yeah,

324
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, that's the waiver wire as it currently appears there.

325
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: I bet there's a lot of waiver moves in every league.

326
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: Baby teams off this late too. I mean, compound all

327
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: the injuries plus eight buys or six buys. Yeah, the

328
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: quarterback injuries alone are just right. I mean, that's the

329
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: easiest position to fill, and you may not have anything usable,

330
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: may be difficult, you may be thrilled with it. Daniel Jones,

331
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: I wonder what the percentage is this year of teams

332
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: that drafted Allen Hurt, Hurts and Mahomes. That conversation we're

333
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: in there, they've already clinched their playoffs spot there Um.

334
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: The other thing I think that has become a trend.

335
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: It's like those five or so best receivers in the league.

336
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 1: I know Cup got hurt, but Jefferson, Adams, Tyreek, all

337
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: the ones that were draft digs, that were drafted high.

338
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if I never do this, but I'm going

339
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: to reconsider that. If I go one in Diggs with

340
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: their first two picks, you know, like you're probably in

341
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 1: the play You're probably gonna make the playoffs, right right,

342
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: you know, if you trust yourself to you know, mine

343
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs right out of the you know, middle rounds, yeah,

344
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, or just keep churning that waiver wire and

345
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: guys get hurt and you know, you know, if you

346
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: had a Camara or a Swift or a Nausey instead

347
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: of those guys that hurt you, you know, compared just

348
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: the consistency every week of those duo. Although she's coming on,

349
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: He's coming on, coming on. All three of those guys

350
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: have had their moments, you know. I mean, Diggs and

351
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: Allen are every week Constants hurts, you know, yeah, Constants

363

365
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,199

366
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: field goals in a row. Yeah, good for him. I

367
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: mean he's going to be employed. He'll be a kicker

368
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: in the league somewhere probably for a long time. Yeah. Absolutely.

369
