1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: Wow, what is up, Fantasy fans. It is the NFL

2
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Podcast. I am Marcus Grant alongside the Hall

3
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: of Famer Michael Fabiano, the whiz kid from Wisconsin, Ale

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: Skalhard behind the glass. James Co. I think he's on

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: the four oh five somewhere right now. He's stuck on

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: the freeway. Uh. I guess we'll see when we see

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: a James Co. Hopefully you drive safe, uh, you know,

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: hands free, don't text and drive all that good stuff.

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: So we will see James Co probably in a little

10
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: bit at some point in midway through the show. In

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: the meantime, well, week two is now officially over. We

12
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: had a Monday night football game. We'll talk about that,

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: talking about some of the goings on from Sunday's game

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: as well. Look at the waiver wire ads potentially also

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: a little buying and selling. Now is the time they

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: were through a couple of weeks. He's a just see

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: some trades heat up. Speaking of which, Fabs and I

18
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: just pulled off a big deal in our Dynasty League.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: We may get into that just a little bit in

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,639
Speaker 1: the show as well. Of course, we'll finish it off

21
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: with some daily depths but first, as always, well, first,

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: good morning gentlemen, I guess say, good morning going on,

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: Buddy Howry, thanks for acknowledging us here. Yeah, it's it's good.

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: I got I got my tea, I got my yogurt,

25
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: I got a banana. You've got a full spread over,

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: very healthy. I'm trying. I'm trying to, you know, lose

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: some LB's. I've gotta, you know, watch my girlss thing

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: and you're on you're on the television and stuff now too.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: So what was that expression? And knocked up we just

30
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: need you to tighten. He's a global star. Can't legally

31
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: say lose weight, but just tighten? Is that? That was

32
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: the joke on Knocked Up Brogan movie back in the day.

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Before we get to headlines and stuff. Don't forget it's

34
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: not too late to sign up to play fantasy at

35
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. You can start leagues later and if

36
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: you do, hey, you can dodge some huge rash of injuries.

37
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I know you can rob Gronkowski first overall, not draft Romo,

38
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: not drafts. Yeah, not worry about Jordi or anybody else

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: ruining your team from drafting. Tyrod Taylor is gonna go

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: flying off the board and guess what. Levian Bell could

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: be the first over all, He's not gonna miss any

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: more games. But let's just reset all of our leagues,

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: even though I think of two and oh in the

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live league. Let's just reset draft. You threw that

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: in there. I had to slide that in you if

46
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: you hadn't noticed. I dedicated that team to Jordy too.

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: I picked him up, put him on I r changed

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: the team name to Jordy take the Wheel. He's guiding

49
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: me to victory so far. But should we do some news.

50
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's do somes the camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking,

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: breaking news, breaking. I likely continue to follow breaking news news. Wife. Well,

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: we will start with the Monday night football game from Indianapolis,

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Colts, and uh, a lot of

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: surprises in that when first off, the Jets going into

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: India and they get a twenty two seven win in

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: which they pretty much dominated Indianapolis, especially the Jets defense,

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: and that maybe the bigger surprise. Andrew Luck just looked

58
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: flat out awful on Monday night football. Luck with maybe

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: one of his worst days as a professional. He finishes

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: two fifty passing yards a lot of those coming late

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: in the ball game, one touchdown, three interceptions, also lost

62
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: to fumble eight point four fantasy points. And now this

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: is to less than expected weeks from Andrew Luck. I mean,

64
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: the first week it wasn't great. He's still finished with

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: almost eighteen fantasy points. This week just an out and

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: out disaster. I mean, fabs that. I know, it's only

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: two weeks. It's time to drop him. It's two weeks.

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: And I know I don't want to get into overreaction

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: theater here, but something at right. Yeah, it's been bad.

70
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at them the first half

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: of that game in Buffalo, did nothing and then had

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: a lot of garbage time points and actually salvaged what

73
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: was a decent game around eighteen fantasy points. But last

74
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: night the offensive lines got issues. They can't run the

75
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: football when you're throwing interceptions like that. I understand. The

76
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: Jets have a really good defense, and Antonio Carmarti is

77
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: a miracle man. He came back. Everyone thought he could

78
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: be out for a while. He played, but um, they

79
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: do have the Titans coming up in Week three, so

80
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: I think there's uh, there's a little light at the

81
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 1: end of the tunnel here for Andrew Luck. In fact,

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 1: if you're in a league where someone is frustrated with him,

83
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I would go out and buy low on him right

84
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: now because it's not gonna get any worse for Andrew Luck.

85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I mean, Alex through two weeks, what three touchdown passes,

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: five interceptions. I mean, we all know Luck is prone

87
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: to throwing picks, but this seems a little a little overboard, right, Yeah,

88
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: it's I've seen some people talking on Twitter and stuff

89
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: that perhaps other holes on the roster are, you know,

90
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: coming into light now and are and Luck can't do

91
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: everything on his own, and when he's trying to, he's

92
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: forced into plays like his fumble run from Monday night

93
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: or the costly interceptions where he's forcing the ball. They

94
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: just had a lot of trouble. And you gotta give

95
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: credit to Todd Bowles or dialing up the Blitz is

96
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: that he did because Andrew Luck was thrown off his

97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: back foot and running for his life and taking hits

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: all night and he never got into a rhythm. And

99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: that could be that until the Colts figure out a

100
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: way to stop that. That could be the way that

101
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: teams get after him and shut him down. Well, I know.

102
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: That was one of the things that Matt money Smith

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: mentioned last week on NFL Fantasy Live. I was still

104
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: trying to ride for Andrew like and I still believe

105
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: he can be a very productive quarterback, both on the

106
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: field and in fantasy. One of the things money mentioned

107
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: was that the offensive line in Indianapolis is a real concern.

108
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: And we saw the Bills get after him with their

109
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: fantastic pass rush, and now we see the Jets get

110
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: after him, you know, and next week the Titans certainly

111
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: not the same caliber of defense, but certainly a group

112
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: that maybe could cause some problems up front. I think

113
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: you're right, You're gonna see a lot of extra pressure

114
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: put there, and especially if the Colts can't defend anybody,

115
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: then they're really going they end up playing from behind

116
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: a lot, which puts a lot more pressure on Andrew

117
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Luck to make some plays in that offense. And the

118
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: best player in Indianapolis for the first two weeks has

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: been Dante Mind if a guy who a lot of

120
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: people can pick up off the waiver wire, Andre Johnson

121
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: looks looks, he looks like yeah, I mean, he doesn't

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: look like like the guy. Even last year he looked better.

123
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what happened in the off season,

124
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: but he doesn't look right. Well. It's almost like they

125
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: parted ways with Reggie Wayne because they felt like he

126
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: was pretty much done. And obviously the fact that he's

127
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: not on an NFL roster right now kind of speaks

128
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: to the fact that people don't really feel like he

129
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: has much left. But I don't, you know, we thought

130
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: that maybe they were gonna get a little something out

131
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: of Andre Johnson. It just hasn't been there for now.

132
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: It hasn't. And uh, we talked about, you know, injuries. Um,

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: the injuries are mounting across the league. I just saw

134
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: a report that Jason Witten is now uncertain for this week.

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: So like you lose Romo, you lose Dez, you lose

136
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: the market or free agency anybody else. I don't know

137
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: who else the Cowboys are gonna play this week. Perhaps

138
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: now is your chance go try out. I know, maybe

139
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: I should do that. You know what, I could run

140
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good for you. Look mean, they can sign

141
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Tim t but he can quarterback and play tight end.

142
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: He can do all of that. He can throw to

143
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: himself and to be like bugs Bunny when he played

144
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: baseball that one. But are these injuries maybe I'm going

145
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: off the rails are a little bit because I know

146
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Breeze is someone that we need to talk about. But

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: these injuries have gotten ridiculous. Yeah, um well, I mean

148
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Eric Decker leaves the game yesterday. Yeah, he's going to

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: have an m R I on his knee right now,

150
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: and saying that it's not too serious. But look, the

151
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: Jets offense, it's it's not spectacular. He's gonna say, nobody's

152
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: going to confuse them, you know, with the Packers or

153
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: anything like that. But through a couple of weeks with

154
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick at the Helm, it's it's been pretty good,

155
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: pretty good. I was I was going to make sure

156
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: we we brought that up because they had a good

157
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: game plan and came in and attacked the Colts with there.

158
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: And hopefully Decker's okay because right now is they're waiting

159
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: to get Devin Smith back for that speed element. They've

160
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: just been you know, working Eric Decker and Brandon Marshall

161
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: a lot. Is two big bodied receivers that are able

162
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: to make all of the kind of catches that they

163
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: need in chan Gailey's offense, and Chris Ivorys looks pretty good.

164
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: The Colts did a good job of trying to shut

165
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: him down, but also New York just took what they

166
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: gave him and threw the ball all over the field. Decker,

167
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: had he not been left the game with an injury,

168
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: probably wou across the hundred yards and Brandon Marshall finished

169
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: with a hundred one too. You know what the best

170
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: thing uh that happened to the Jets this year so

171
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: far crushed at the jaw and ask I mean, no, no,

172
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: listen the Amish rifle. I know he's you know, he's

173
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: kind of the butt of jokes and stuff like that.

174
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: But everywhere he goes, he starts, whether it's injury or

175
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: or otherwise. And I mean he's not a terrible quarterback.

176
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: He's not a terrible quarterback. He makes mistakes sometimes, but listen, Okay,

177
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game, you know it's at home. The Browns

178
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: are not that great, Okay, but I mean you're going

179
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: to Indianapolis, uh and a team that is expected to

180
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: be a Super Bowl contender, and you beat that team,

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: and Fitzpatrick did just enough to win on offense, right,

182
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't putting up three and five touchdowns, but he's

183
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: he's really increased the value of Brendan Marshall, who I

184
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: didn't like coming into this year, and part of it

185
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: was Gino Smith. Uh. And also Eric Decker has has

186
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,719
Speaker 1: done well. Hopefully he's gonna be okay with the knee,

187
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: but that Jet's offense. And then Chris Ivory, okay, didn't

188
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: do well last night, but had a great game in

189
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,839
Speaker 1: Week one. Maybe the best thing that happened in the

190
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: Jets was the amish Rich taken over. I feel like

191
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: one of the things that we all said when Gino

192
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: went down was that the Jets, you know, fitz Patrick

193
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: maybe not, he might have be a superstar, but they

194
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: didn't lose anything at quarterback, you know, at move it

195
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: was a lateral move for them, and and who knows,

196
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe maybe Fitzpatrick is a is more of an answer

197
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: than Geno Smith is. Right now, that certainly looks to

198
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: be the case, and I think FABS is right. You know,

199
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: you can feel more confident with Brandon Marshall and Eric

200
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: Decker and you know your boy Chris Ivory, Alex. I mean,

201
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: he has been pretty much as advertised the first two weeks,

202
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's looked good. I think the game script

203
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: and the game plan kind of kind of got away

204
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: from him in this one. We didn't We didn't love

205
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: it anyways. Also, he was coming off a knee injury,

206
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: so they worked the all Powell in a little more. However,

207
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: he has looked like a ferocious, powerful runner that's going

208
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: to be a different maker for this offense. Alright, moving on,

209
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: moving back, I should say back to Sunday's games and

210
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: some of the action there. Drew Brees, he wasn't what

211
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: we thought he was going to be. Everybody figured he

212
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 1: was going to be a great start against that Buccaneer defense.

213
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: They had been torched by Marcus Mariotta in Week one,

214
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: so surely a veteran, potential Hall of Famer like Drew

215
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: Brees was going to carve them up. Uh. I can't

216
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: even talk about it and throw up in my mouth

217
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: a little bit, because I mean, I'm not the only one.

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: We all loved Breeze, and how could you not. His

219
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: track record at home against the Buccaneers was amazing. The

220
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: Bucks had just given up four touchdowns to a rookie

221
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: and Marcus Mariota. Breeze figured to come back after a

222
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: mediocre performance against the Cardinals, and it didn't happen. And

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: now we hear about the injury, uh, which which is

224
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: probably partially to to blame. And this quarterback position as

225
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: deep as it was coming into the year at the top,

226
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting a little thin, right I listen. Uh,

227
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Luck's not playing Rogers up there right now, and Brandy

228
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: in the first five rounds nobody. Uh, Romo's out, You've

229
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: got You've got Breeze now that could be out for

230
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: a little bit. You've got Andrew Luck not playing like

231
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. And then last week, which which to me

232
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: is is an unbelievable stat you had twenty quarterbacks twenty

233
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: out of thirty two score eighteen or more fantasy points. Romo,

234
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: Luck and Breeze were not among those three. Yeah, this

235
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: is predictable. It's the no figure League at its best

236
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: right now. But the shoulder injury, you know, we'll see

237
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: what happens with with Breeze, how much time he potentially

238
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 1: has to miss. But now, I mean, Alex Brandon Cooks

239
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: has kind of been a disappointment the first couple of weeks.

240
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: We thought this would be the week that maybe he

241
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: gets off a little bit um first off. You know,

242
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: Luke McCown those commercials maybe paying off you know, those backups,

243
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: some of them, some of them could be really good

244
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: if they just got a chance. I was, I was

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: off the Cook's bandwagon coming into the year because I

246
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 1: was about him, with his stature and his skill set

247
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: assuming a number one receiver volume of targets, should have

248
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: jumped off with you. But now that he doesn't have

249
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, I'm totally off of. But now I have

250
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: an excuse. You know how people blame us when they

251
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: start a guy who has a bad game, Now I

252
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: have an excuse. Hey listen, alright, braises hurt. What am

253
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I gonna do? Yeah, this whole offense is is worrisome

254
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: right now if they get a um, you know, Luke

255
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: accown in there to start. But the one the people

256
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: you can maybe trust are the backs. But at the

257
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: same time, they've been rotating all the way through them,

258
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: like Kyrie Robinson and mark Ingram of both them getting

259
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: a healthy amount of touches. C J. Spielerga is gonna

260
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: get worked back slowly. We saw him getting in the

261
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: action a little bit on Sunday, So there's gonna be

262
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: points to be had out of the backfield, but trying

263
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: to find him it's gonna be tough. I mean, obviously

264
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the the injury, notwithstanding to Breeze. Do you get the

265
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: feeling through two weeks that that this Jimmy Graham New

266
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints divorce isn't going as expected because Graham has

267
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 1: been a non factor in Seattle. The Saints seem to

268
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: be trying to find some offense there. It's almost like

269
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: these two sides are gonna realize how much they actually

270
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: need each other. I didn't get that trade to begin

271
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of people, did. I think a lot

272
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: of people understood that. It came out of nowhere, caught

273
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people by surprise, and at least through

274
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: two weeks, it doesn't seem to be working out for

275
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: either one of those parties. Eddie Lacey left the Sunday

276
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: Night Game early, much to the chagrin of fantasy owners everywhere.

277
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: The Packers certainly found a way to survive with James Starks,

278
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: but certainly if you had Eddie Lacy, and certainly I

279
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: was among them in one of my leagues, you weren't

280
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: thrilled with the numbers he gave you. Because the ankle

281
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: injury obviously, but he could play in Monday Night football.

282
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: But Alex is our resident packer guy here. I mean,

283
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: would you still expect to see a lot of James

284
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Starks this week, especially if Lacey's coming back from this

285
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 1: injury and he does play. I think it's going to

286
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: be closer to maybe a sixty forty seventy thirty split

287
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: between him and Starks because they're not Lacey is very

288
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: important to this offense and they're not gonna want to

289
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: risk further injury. And we saw on Sunday night and

290
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: in past games when Lacey he hasn't like missed an

291
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: actual like ton of folk games. But if you remember,

292
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: I think his rookie year, he went out with the

293
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: concussion against the Redskins and James Starks came in and

294
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: ripped off like a hundred and thirty yards. So Starks

295
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: can be very successful when Lacey's out. I mean, the

296
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: offense is built to allow people to be successful. But

297
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: this is very encouraging for people because I remember when

298
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Lacey had his injury on Sunday night, I was seeing

299
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: whispers and tweets of a high ankle sprain and it

300
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: appears and it appears he dodged that so he played

301
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: in his rookie season on kind of a bad ankle

302
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: for for much of it and was still effective. So

303
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: as long as it doesn't dog him for too long,

304
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: everybody's dodged up and get here and get James Starks

305
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: just top top, one of the top waiver wire ads,

306
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: just to be sick, just a insurance, especially because it's

307
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: a Monday night game. I mean I did that. Actually

308
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: last week I picked up Starks in the only league

309
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: I have Lacy, and thank goodness I did because now

310
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that position. Whoever starts

311
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: and whoever is an active I I'm covered. Yeah, it's again,

312
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: if it's not a high el sprain. If you can play,

313
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: that's going to be encouraging. But certainly I think a

314
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: lot of people kind of freaked out when he left

315
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: that game or the last thing you wanted to see it.

316
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: Trust me, I had Eddie Lacey and Davonte Adams on

317
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,119
Speaker 1: the same team and to see them on separate occasions

318
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: being carted back in the locker not good. It just

319
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: made my stomach feel ill. But who who is really

320
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 1: gotten nailed by the injury bug? Worse than the cow

321
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: The Cowboys, Well, we're getting do that right now. I

322
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: mean the Cowboys. It seems to all be falling apart.

323
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: And I don't remember who it was, but watching one

324
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: of the shows on Monday morning, and you know, if

325
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: you had if you had said after week two that

326
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were gonna be without Tony Romo, Dez Brant,

327
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: that their top three guys were going to be Brandon Weeden,

328
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams and Joseph Randall, Uh, you feel like they

329
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: were in all sorts of trouble right now. On the field,

330
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: they might still be able to compete in a topsy

331
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: turvy NFC East, but fantasy wise, it's all gone left.

332
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, I'm not picking up Brandon Eden.

333
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, is there is there a chance he

334
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: can put up some good numbers? Yeah, of course, Listen.

335
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: You know the NFL is unpredictable, So I'm not gonna

336
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: say he's he's gonna be a complete pariah. But it's

337
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: a major downgrade from Romo, Terrence Williams very good start

338
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: last week, had a touchdown, major downgrade from Dez Bryant.

339
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Now we're hearing word that Jason Witten's got two sprained ankles.

340
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: He's all banged up if he doesn't play, downgrade to

341
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: Gavin Escobar, although Gavin Escobar all of a sudden, is

342
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: on the fantasy radar if Witten does miss that game.

343
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Atlanta has not done well against tight end so far

344
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: this year. So um, but this is not the team

345
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: that we thought it was going to be, even though

346
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: they're two and oh. From a fantasy perspective, they went

347
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: from a team with some firepower and some upside, especially

348
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: at running back with Joseph Randall, to a team has

349
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: just been decimated. Whose best fantasy player right now is

350
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: Joseph Realm Right. I'm I was actually gonna write about

351
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: this in an article for tomorrow where he have to

352
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: write about players to trade away or trade four. Terrence

353
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Williams one of the top play to think him. We'll

354
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: get to this later to trade away right now, because yeah,

355
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: he had a good start last week, but he only

356
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: had caught like half of his targets for forty yards

357
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, and he

358
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: caught that broken coverage touchdown which gave him a good week. That's,

359
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: as you know, FABS you're a Cowboys fan. That's kind

360
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: of Terrence williams m o is. He will go quiet

361
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: for a while, but then he'll rip off a big play.

362
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: So if you can get an owner to buy in

363
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: on that, like Des is gone, the offense is gonna

364
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: through Williams. Throw him out there. See what you can get. Yeah,

365
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: and hopefully they don't realize Brandon Weeden is the quarterback. Yes,

366
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: you know we threw him the touchdown he did. He

367
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: did it, didn't even need warm up tosses. He just

368
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: went out there and just threw a touchdown. That was

369
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: the best. He was just like chilling on the bench things. Um, So,

370
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: is it crazy to think that with all these guys

371
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: gone one Darren McFadden is not among the injured for

372
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: this this group. I know, that's the funny thing. Is

373
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: not among the injured for this group. But because there

374
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: are so many guys missing right now, I mean, does

375
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: does maybe run DMC have a little extra value? I

376
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 1: mean they gotta you know, they they've gotta find offense

377
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: from somewhere, and you know, maybe maybe he starts to

378
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: get more looks in the offense you want. I'd still

379
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: I'd still rather pick up Dunbar. I was gonna say,

380
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: I think Dunbar want to come in. Yeah, I don't know.

381
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: Mcfeddon hasn't looked all that great. And I think Randall,

382
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: I I thought it all along. Randall was the superior talent.

383
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I worry about. So, okay,

384
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have one of the best offensive lines in

385
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: the league. That's gonna help in terms of the running game.

386
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: But defenses are gonna come in and stop Randall and

387
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: try to stop the run because they don't respect Weedon. Uh,

388
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: you've got Terence Williams, You've got cold Be easily potentially

389
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Gavin Escobar. I mean you're you're talking about some of

390
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: the B team members here that are now in prominent

391
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: roles for the Cowboys. So that offensive line can help.

392
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: It can only help so much. Yeah, you know, it's

393
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to watch this team because they

394
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 1: were ever a fantasy gold mine coming into the season

395
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: and now things that started to change a little bit.

396
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: For it's funny too, because like they're too in and

397
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: no one in the world thinks they're making the playoffs,

398
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: but Seattle is into. The cults are Rowan too. Oh yeah,

399
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: they'll be I think I've never seen so much panic

400
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: around it to teams that was Cowboys. They're better off

401
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: than the Eagles. Um moving on to Atlanta. More injury

402
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: news there. Tevin Coleman left that game on Sunday with

403
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: cracked ribs and it looked as though he really had

404
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: laid claim to the starting job and being the number

405
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: one running back there for the Falcons. Now he's going

406
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: to be out for you know, we'll see how long.

407
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean, do you believe fabs in Devonte Freeman to

408
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: take over that role and be productive? I believe in touches, right,

409
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: I believe in touches. But the Cowboys have been really

410
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: tough against running back so far this year. I mean,

411
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: we all saw what DeMarco Murray couldn't do last week.

412
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: So it's not a great matchup. But based on volume

413
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: and based on the amount of touches uh that that

414
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: he could see in this contest, he's got to be

415
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: in the flex starter conversation. Absolutely, he has to be.

416
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: He was running hard these last two weeks, didn't quite

417
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: get the holes that Tevin Coleman had, but DeVonta Freeman

418
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: was doing a lot of damage out of the backfield too.

419
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: I think he had like sixty three yards through the

420
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: air last year, So if he come he's probably not

421
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: going to be a featured back. I think they'll rotate

422
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: in tear on ward a little bit because that's just

423
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of the system they're running with right now. But

424
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 1: I agree with you and n percent Fabs. I think

425
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman's a flex starter moving forward until Coleman comes back.

426
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people probably cut him

427
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: because they saw what Coleman was doing so he could

428
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: be available on the waiver wire out there. So take

429
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: a look at your waiver wire and see if maybe

430
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: someone was hasty and dropped him. Yeah. It's funny because

431
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: I before the season started, I was staying away from

432
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: this backfield altogether because we didn't have a clear idea

433
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: of how it was gonna go. Coleman seemed to be

434
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: the guy. Now he's out. Um, you know, either way,

435
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: I still think that offense runs off the arm of

436
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and through the hands of Julio Jones and

437
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: everybody else's is kind of playing for for second place there.

438
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: Um in Chicago, j Cutler has a hamstring hamstring strain.

439
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: Easy for me to say, look, there are a lot

440
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: of people starting Jay Cutler. Unless you're in a two

441
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: quarterback league or you have like a team league or

442
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: something like that, Jay Cutler is not being started. But

443
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: now that Jimmy Clawson looks like he's gonna be the

444
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: guy for at least a couple of weeks, any concern

445
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: Alex about you know, I'll Sean, Jeffrey Martell has been

446
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: at that Forte, that whole group. There, yes, a lot

447
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: of concern. I saw somebody tweet this out too, that

448
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 1: the Bears fans should get excited because the last time

449
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: that John Fox was running a Jimmy Clawson led offense

450
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: that led them to the number one overall pick. That

451
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of that's right, that's right, But all all joking aside,

452
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 1: like all Sean's already dinged up. This offense wasn't running

453
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: well when Cutler was in there, and now you take

454
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: you definitely take a step down to Jimmy Clawson. I'm

455
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about about all these guys, except maybe Matt

456
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: Forte because I think his volume will be there and

457
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: he can still get a lot of dump offs and

458
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 1: do some damage with that. But of course, you know

459
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: they're they're playing in Seattle this week too, so that

460
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: that's yeah, that's another reason that you don't want to

461
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: start anybody not named Forte or Bennett. Um. The Seattle

462
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: defense should should be the number one defense and fantasy

463
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: this week because of that matchup. But I'm gonna argue

464
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: today on NFL Fantasy Live that no player's value who

465
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: hasn't been injured uh and isn't playing right now, has

466
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: has taken a bigger hit than all Sean Jeffrey. Right

467
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: week one, we didn't know what was going on. Then

468
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he aggravates an injury. He's outlet

469
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: in that last week. We don't know if he's playing

470
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: in week three. Um, he is a guy who people

471
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 1: drafted as their number one fantasy wide receiver and through

472
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: two weeks because of the injury, and then in week

473
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: one he was he was okay considering was his value

474
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: is really seriously taken a hit and the Bears don't

475
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: have much behind him? When Bellamy is that his name

476
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: bella gosh? I think Jay Bellamy used to be a

477
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: defensive back for the Saints. Uh. When when he's your

478
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in fantasy and Jimmy Clausen has

479
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: thrown passes. It's not good. It's they may be in

480
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: worse shape than the Cowboys. I mean, you know, I

481
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: know a lot of people were worried about Matt Forte,

482
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think this was the reason. Like, now

483
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: there's definite concern about Matt Forte because if you're your defense,

484
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: you stacked the box and you they're Jimmy Clausen to

485
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: beat you with his arms. So now suddenly things have

486
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: gotten a lot harder for Forte. And I was one

487
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: of the guys who still kind of believed in him.

488
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: I still thought he could be productive. He wasn't gonna

489
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: catch a hundred passes this year. We all knew that

490
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: that was probably out the window, but he could still

491
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: do a lot. Now I'm really worried about what he's

492
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: going to face weekend and week out, as long as

493
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler's is not there, as long as those pass

494
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: catchers aren't healthy. Um, you know, I mean it was

495
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: bad enough when Kevin White was you know, put out

496
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: for a while. Uh, now there's there's just nobody there

497
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: to catch the football. So I don't know, uh, staying

498
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: in the division, Matt Stafford goes down with an injury,

499
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: and the Lion's offense hasn't been great. It has not

500
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: been as sharp and as productive as we're used to

501
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: seeing it the first couple of weeks. It was nice

502
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: to see Calvin Johnson get back involved a little bit

503
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: last week. But if Athew Stafford isn't right, I mean

504
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: any concerned that that whoever is there, is not going

505
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: to be able to get the ball to Megatron. Well Stafford, uh,

506
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: he he did get through the Lions Monday walk through,

507
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: so I don't know that he's certainly out this week.

508
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 1: But if he plays, I'm not touching him. There's no

509
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: question about that. Broncos defense has has been very, very good,

510
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: um forcing turnovers. They held the Ravens to next to nothing.

511
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: And Alex Smith, of course, he scored maybe five Fantasy

512
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: points last week. So I can't get behind Stafford ever

513
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,959
Speaker 1: since he had that five thousand yard forty one touchdown

514
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: the year, it's been all downhill from him. And I

515
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't start Golden Tate this week either, even if Stafford

516
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: is playing. And I argued this during the preseason. If

517
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers, Tate had a major, major

518
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: uptick in his production when Calvin Johnson was either outer

519
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: being a decloy. Calvin's in there, he's an average wide receiver.

520
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: Tuction came in those game games and now you've got

521
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: a tough matchup coming up. Um. But the Lions, though

522
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: Calvin had a good game last week, Eric Ebron had

523
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: a good game last week, but the running backs a

524
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: mirror dula. Did you know that train that was going

525
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: at about ninety nine miles an hour that slowed down

526
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: a little bit for all of us went into the

527
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: caboose and took all the coal out of the fire.

528
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: And that's what's baffling is this offense. Like we said,

529
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: they've been struggling, but they aren't giving the ball to

530
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: their best players. They finally did this week with Calvin Johnson,

531
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: but a meerab Duela needs more touches in that offense,

532
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: no question, it's just ridiculous. But this is a week

533
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 1: to stay away. Like you said, with that, you're you're

534
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: you're starting Calvin Um, You're probably starting a mirror as

535
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: a flex though still maybe I wouldn't start. And Stafford

536
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: actually had almost twenty Fantasy points last week. But it's

537
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: one of those games where reality didn't really mirror what

538
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: he did in fantasy because he didn't have a great game.

539
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Andrew Luck in Week one. Yeah,

540
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: I'd i'd be concerned about. I love Amir Dual this

541
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: season long, but I'd be concerned about this week until

542
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: that offense figures itself out. Yeah yeah, yets. I don't know.

543
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 1: It's funny. We're through two weeks. I know it's still

544
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: fairly early, but things are not shaking out a lot

545
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: of respects the way we would have. But this is

546
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about this during the during the preseason.

547
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: What is predictable about the NFL. It's unpredictability. We're seeing

548
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis emerges. Maybe this year's justin for set right.

549
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: We're seeing sophomore wide receivers who we liked having that slump.

550
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, I mean, he has the same number of

551
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: Fantasy points as we have Brandon Cooks. It breaks my heart,

552
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: but breezes heart. I think Evans will be okay. I mean,

553
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: he he had his injury, so he might have he

554
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: might have been doing the Calvin Johnson decoy out there.

555
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: I have to watch see, but I hope it turns

556
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: around for him, but I think it could you have

557
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: to worry about his start. I mean, at the very least. Yeah,

558
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: it was not it was not. It was not good.

559
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: I'm well, speaking of things that you want to turn around,

560
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: it means time to go to the waiver wire. Four

561
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: week three, So we'll look at some of the big ads.

562
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: We talked a little bit about James Stark's obviously with

563
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey not a hundred percent. We can see starts

564
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: get some more work. Um. But the next thing on

565
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: this list Travis Benjamin. This is a guy who has

566
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, all from Johnny Manziel, all of the very

567
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: long variety. And that's not even counting his punt return

568
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Um, I mean, are are we buying in?

569
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: Are we buying in that? The Travis Benjamin is a

570
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: thing though I put him on the deep dive simply because, uh,

571
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: speaking of how unpredictable the NFL is, Travis Benjaman is

572
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: the third highest scoring Fantasy wise. You know what. But

573
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean we all saw that. Oh yeah, totally ill

574
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: saw that. Look if if John Manzel starts, I mean,

575
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin has proved to be explosive, and he's been

576
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: able to get open deep Manzel only through like fifteen

577
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: passes last week, so you're gonna have to hit on

578
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: the big one. But in deeper leagues, I think Benjamin's

579
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: worth a flyer is on your bench or in leagues

580
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: like feb Q you always preach if you get points

581
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: for return yards and scores for players, then he's great

582
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: as like a flex start, because he could if he

583
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: hits one of those big plays, then you're golden. What's

584
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: the worst thing that can happen? He doesn't do anything

585
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and you drop him. Yeah,

586
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: but you never want to pass on a hot free agent.

587
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: You never want to do that unless your roster is

588
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: so stack you don't have anyone to drop. But typically

589
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: that's not the case. Yeah, you know again, I guess

590
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: if it's a deep league, maybe I take a shot

591
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: at him. I just he's a home run guy, and

592
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: the home runs are they're going to be a lot more,

593
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: At least I expect there's going to be some more

594
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: you know, one catch you twelve yards sort of performances

595
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: out of Travis Benjamin. You looked at Manzel's numbers last week,

596
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: he only through the ball fifteen times only completed eight

597
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: of those. So I am holding fast on the fact

598
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: that the Browns just don't have So here's a question

599
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: for you. Then, would you drop Andre Johnson for Travis Benjamin?

600
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: I might, yeah, just just because at least we've seen

601
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: some explosion out of Benjamin. We've seen some some home

602
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: reade potential there. We've seen nothing from Andre Johnson through

603
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of the season. Um, well, Bean Lewis,

604
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean we mentioned his name. I mean, he's popped

605
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: up here and I tweeted, you know, is he going

606
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: to be the man that kills Bella tricks on Sunday?

607
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: And look what To me, it was the most encouraging

608
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: thing about Dion Lewis and you can jump in on

609
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: this with Famms is that he fumbled the ball and

610
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: he still kept playing. I know that To me? Is

611
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: that said? And I don't know if this was you know, Belichick,

612
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: Belichick trying to stick it to Rex Ryan after the

613
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: you know, pretending not to know Dion Lewis's name and whatever,

614
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: or if this really means that he really believes in

615
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis. Well, that was the thing that shocked me.

616
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: And I actually tweeted that out on Sunday when he fumbled,

617
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, well, let's see if he's

618
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: in on the next series. Put him back in. And

619
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: this is a fumble in each of the first two weeks,

620
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: which is typically I mean, that's that's the death bloods

621
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: it and in a Belichick check. I don't know if

622
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: Lagarrett Blunt is a little rust on him. I have

623
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: no idea, because all the reports that we heard during

624
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: preseason was that blow looked pretty good. Um. I was

625
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: sitting next to Chris Westling from around the NFL, who's

626
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 1: a good friend of the show, and he said, Lewis

627
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: is so good the Patriots can't take him off the field,

628
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: and this is a guy who couldn't make a roster.

629
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: I think it's also there their game plan against Buffalo

630
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: because they barely ran the ball. I want to say,

631
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: they ran the ball like what nine times in that game,

632
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: and Dion Lewis fits that molded. That's why I was

633
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: telling people to play him in the flex, because that's

634
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: how they beat that ferocious Buffalo pass rush. They spread

635
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: him out and just just dumped it off. And he's

636
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: a much better pass catcher. He really is I mean

637
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: he does have a little bit of bursts, so he

638
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: can beat you on the ground as well. But where

639
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: he is making his hay in the statueats is through

640
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: the years and Tom Brady. Listen, what did we say,

641
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: don't don't piss Tom Brady off, because right now he's

642
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: the m v P of the league. He is just

643
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: looking like every bit the the future Hall of Famer

644
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: that he's been through, most of them. Speaking of around

645
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,479
Speaker 1: the NFL, I think they mentioned this on their Sunday recap.

646
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: So far right now he has more yards, more touchdowns,

647
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: and fewer interceptions than his amazing two thou seven years.

648
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: So if if the Patriots go and happen to win

649
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl, does Ted Wells get a playoff share?

650
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and um. A couple other names

651
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: of interest, obviously, Matt Jones seems to be uh, you know,

652
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm putting on I'm putting in waiver claims left

653
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: and right for Matt Jones. Actually drafted him in a

654
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: couple of deeper leagues. I took a late round flyer

655
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: on Matt Jones, which really actually I have a in

656
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: my league of record. The commissioner is a huge University

657
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: of Florida fan, and when I snagged him like two

658
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: picks before he could get there, there was a there

659
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: was a hat throw frustration. The only the only thing

660
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: I would caution with Jones is that he looks like

661
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: he looks like the real deal, and he looks great. However,

662
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: this backfield was split pretty much right down the middle

663
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: of this week nineteen for Jones, eighteen for Morris. Week one,

664
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Morris got over a hundred twenty yards. Jones could could get,

665
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: you know, he could have a lot of big games. Still,

666
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: maybe they give him in the backfield because he's their guy,

667
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: but it could still be a committee and he could

668
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: come up short and a lot of Here's what I

669
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: wonder though, um is he that good where he's going

670
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: to completely make Alfred Morris expendable? I don't know about that.

671
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: And the matchup is good this week they're playing the Giants,

672
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: and Giants had given up over twenty two Fantasy points

673
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: a game the running backs this year one of the

674
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: ten worst in the league. But can you start Matt

675
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Jones with confidence or did Jones just get hot? Jake

676
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: Cruden stuck with him, and obviously what happened happened against

677
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 1: the Rams, which the Rams, you know, we're supposed to

678
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: have one of the best defenses in the entire league,

679
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: and it hasn't been that way so far this year.

680
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know if I can trust him and say, oh, yeah,

681
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: Jones is an every week RB two, He's an every

682
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: week flex starter. He is rosterable in all the Yes,

683
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: I think that though, But I would say the one

684
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: thing that would give you some idea that maybe Jones

685
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: gets more work is the fact that this is a

686
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: contract year for Alfred Morris, and it maybe what we've

687
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: seen over the last two years seems to suggest that

688
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: Washington doesn't like him. We don't know why, no one

689
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: no one knows why exactly, and nobody really knows why

690
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: they're treating off for more. Is this It's not like

691
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: he's a bad locker room guy's back. He's a bad

692
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: running back. Like he's everything you think you would want

693
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: out of that guy, out of that player, but he

694
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: just doesn't seem to get the ball a lot. And

695
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: so you just wonder if it is that the team

696
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: is ready to move on from him, in which case

697
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: maybe you start to see the young guy get more

698
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: care because I mean, Gruden put in Kirk Cousins. Now,

699
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: maybe this is his running back. He's trying to to

700
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: coach for his job and be like, look, if I

701
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: get the guys that I want, this is the offense

702
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: I can put up. So there is that potential. But

703
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: right now there's just not enough clarity. So maybe throw

704
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: him in your flex for this week. But otherwise pick

705
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: him up and then don't sell Alfred Morris quite yet.

706
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: Let's just wait and see how this how the dust

707
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: settles in here. By the way, um, Alfred Morris is

708
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: available in the NFL Fantasy Life. He's out the block. Wow,

709
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: okay um. Another young running back who seems to do

710
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: nothing but score touchdowns is David Johnson. Uh, you know

711
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: it certainly helps that Andre Ellington has banged up? Are we, Alex?

712
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: Are we believing? I? Look, I have baby Johnson. I

713
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: was forced to play him in the league against you fabs.

714
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: I believe in the Dynasty League, I played David Johnson. Um,

715
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: so you got points for the return for the return?

716
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: Isn't that the way to go? It's fantastic. Look, I'm

717
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,879
Speaker 1: not knocking to help me get a wet man. I mean,

718
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: but like when when Ellington comes back, are we going

719
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: to see as much David Johnson in the line. I

720
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: think David Johnson has made his case to get rotated

721
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: in more they have They know that Andre Ellington has

722
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: not been the picture of health the last couple of years.

723
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: And it was funny because going into this week, Bruce

724
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: Arians was firm and saying, Chris Johnson's gonna be our

725
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 1: lead back, He's gonna get all the touches, blah blah

726
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. David Johnson goes out just rips it

727
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: up on a handful of touches. And then I saw

728
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: as I was working on the waiver wire pieces yesterday,

729
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet from the Cardinals that Bruce Arians said, uh,

730
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: like David Johnson has earned more touches or I think

731
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: it was something to the effect of, it's going to

732
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: be hard to not keep David Johnson on the field.

733
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: So he's still gonna stick with c J as a

734
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: starter for now, probably, yeah, but maybe the touch has

735
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: become dispersed a little more even exactly here. Let me find, uh, fabs,

736
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: what else do you think about David on And I'll

737
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: see if I can find that tweet real quick. Listen,

738
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: he's a playmaker. I mean, I'm not saying anything that's

739
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,439
Speaker 1: not obvious to anyone who's a football fan. He's a playmaker. Uh.

740
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 1: And you know he's like a he's a bigger dude.

741
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: So it's almost strange watching him return kicks and punts, uh,

742
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 1: and actually successfully returning kicks and punts because he's a

743
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: bigger guy. But this this is sort of one of

744
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: those things that could gradually turn like so it could

745
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: end up being David Johnson at some point until Andre

746
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: Ellington comes back. But Arians likes to lean on the veterans,

747
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: so I don't know that c J. Two K is

748
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: completely going to be out of the picture. But again,

749
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: and we said this last week, both guys need to

750
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: be on fantasy rosters right now. Um play in the

751
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco Forward and honors this week who are not

752
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 1: that good defensively despite what we saw in Week one.

753
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: Exact quote was Bruce Arian said, David Johnson will have

754
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: a bigger role each week. So he's a guy. If

755
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 1: he's available, get him on your roster. He could be

756
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: a frisky flex play here and there, but as the

757
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: season goes on, he could get more and more work

758
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: that'll be interesting to watch, all right, A couple of

759
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: many deeper dive waiver wire guys Alex tell tell the

760
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: world about Crock and Gilmore, please boy, Well this is

761
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: this was one that I identified way in the offseason

762
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,959
Speaker 1: because there's just there's no but there was nobody else

763
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: in Baltimore, and Mark Trustman's offense has done good things

764
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,399
Speaker 1: to tight ends in recent history. He got careers out

765
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: of Martellis Bennett and Crocket. Gilmore is just a big

766
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: target who's put in the work and he's looked. He

767
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: looked good in the preseason and stuff. They actually they

768
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: targeted him a handful of times in that offensive disaster

769
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: in Week one, and he was this close to getting

770
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: a touchdown on that last like hail Mary attempt from

771
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. But this week they were playing the Raiders

772
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: who got burned by Tyler Eiffert. Gilmore was open all

773
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: the time. He's a big guy. He showed sure hands

774
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: and his second i think it was his second touchdown

775
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: where he like dragged five guys in his hand zone

776
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: was just an example of the kind of big, powerful

777
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: guy he is. So I've been telling a lot of

778
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: people to try and pick him up. He was on

779
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: that very fringe kind of like maybe he'll get a

780
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: touchdown tight end situation. But until Brashad Perriman comes back

781
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: or somebody else steps up, Gilmore is the number two

782
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: options in that passing attack, and they're probably gonna go

783
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: back to him more often after what he displayed in

784
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: we tough matchup this week against the Bengals. I don't

785
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: know that he's becoming every week starter, but great, great

786
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: insight by you, Alex, because no one was talking about Gilmore.

787
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: No one was talking, not at all. Um, here's a

788
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: deep dive that that I've because I have Jarvis Landry

789
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: and just about every league an in I've seen a

790
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: lot of the Dolphins, and a guy who's caught my

791
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: eye in the first two weeks has been Richard Matthews.

792
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: And we saw his name, uh pop up early and

793
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: or not early, but we saw him pop up during

794
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,959
Speaker 1: the preseason and in training camp, and it was talked

795
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: that Richard Matthews was maybe starting to move past Kitty

796
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Stills in the pecking order there for the Miami Dolphins

797
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: and the first two weeks of the season. In Week one,

798
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: not a lot of yards for Richard Matthews, but he

799
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: did have a touchdown, had the nine fantasy points last week,

800
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen receiving yards, and he's not Jarvis Landry.

801
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: Landry is still the guy there, but for Shard Matthews

802
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: maybe getting more run than we would have anticipated at

803
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: the start of the year. I just don't know that

804
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 1: I can trust him a weekend and week out. Landry's

805
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: the guy, as Marcus is the guy. At some point,

806
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 1: Devanta Parker is going to end up making an impact

807
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: in this offense. I just don't know that he's ready yet.

808
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: But the depositive I saw last week was that Ryan

809
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: Tannehill went into Jacksonville to UH, to a place where

810
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have really struggled if you look back, even dating

811
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: back to last year in Jacksonville, they're very tough on quarterbacks.

812
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: He went in there and played extremely well, dispersed the ball. UH.

813
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: Landry had a big game, Cameron was decent, Matthews had

814
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: a big game as well. The running backs and not

815
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: so much. But Tannehill is someone who was a disappointment

816
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: in Week one, but everyone is sort of expecting him

817
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: to take that next step. From a fantasy perspective, and yeah,

818
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: and the matchup this week. And it's weird to say it, Marcus,

819
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: because it's the Bills. But the Bill's defense has not

820
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: been that good. They haven't held anybody down, right, I

821
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: mean they held in you lockdown, but he still scored

822
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: nineteen point garbage points and then obviously they got they

823
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: got carved up, destroyed by But I think that was

824
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: that was a little bit of you know that that's

825
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: that's the bully beating up on the little brother sort

826
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: of thing, just because Belichick and and Brady liked taking

827
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: down Rex Ryan. I think it was kind of collateral

828
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: damage for that. Should we welcome in James, Hey, what's up? Welcome?

829
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: How's on the four oh five? Awful? Terrible? Not very fun?

830
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: You know. The thing was too I got backed up

831
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: because my father in law got backed up. He watches

832
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: her kid, uh most of the time, baby co But

833
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: so he got backed up on the freeway, so he

834
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: was late. So then I got backed up on the

835
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: freeway and here I am there you are, Well, you're here,

836
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 1: you're just the time to talk to talk trade targets. Yeah,

837
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: as we look at some guys buying selling through a

838
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and I'll start with you, James. I

839
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: mean a Mirabdulah. Well great, and week one what happened

840
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: was a ghost in week two? Are we are we

841
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,479
Speaker 1: buy him? Are we selling him? What are we doing? Um? Man?

842
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: You know I'm trying to I'm trying to buy. I

843
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: like the fact that his price is probably gonna be

844
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: as low as and probably is going to be for

845
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Um. I'm trying to buy man.

846
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: And you know the thing is, I've got Dez Bryant

847
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: in a few leagues, um, and I'm trying to see

848
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: if I can move Dez Bryant in a in a

849
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: you know, a secondary player, tertiary player. I've got a

850
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: couple of packages out there that look like Dez Bryant

851
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: and DeShawn Jackson for a guy like a mirab Dulah.

852
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: Can can it happen? I don't know. It really depends

853
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: on how on where you stand on rookie running backs

854
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: and where where you kind of figure a mirrorb Dula

855
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: is gonna figure into the mix. We don't know yet.

856
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: I'm I'm buying on a Merbdula too. Right now. I

857
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 1: think he's in my column that I'm writing I have

858
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: to write a column on Wednesdays for trade targets, guys

859
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: to target and trade away, and he's one of those.

860
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: Because I think at some point the Lions have to

861
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: realize he is like the most talented player on their

862
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: offense after Calvin Johnson. They're gonna start feeding him more so.

863
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: He is a great one to get the panicky owner on,

864
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: who's like a joke Bell only carries last week exactly

865
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: go after him. Yeah, I mean, look, I'm I'm I'm

866
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: on board with the Mirala. I've gotten more and more

867
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: on board as the preseason went along, and I'm not.

868
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm not jumping off yet. You know, Joke Bell is

869
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: a non entity. I don't know why they keep trying

870
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: to feed him. I don't know why they keep trying

871
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: to put him in there. He's a non entity. And

872
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: I think things are gonna get better. You're going to

873
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: have up and down weeks. Abdula is a rookie. It's fine.

874
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 1: I want Matt Stafford to be in there. I feel

875
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot better about that offense if Matt Stafford is there.

876
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: But I'm still cool on a Mirrab Douler right now. Um,

877
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: I want to I see my Kemons on this, but

878
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I want to move down one to Jimmy Graham. And

879
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, Alex and fab Ju and I were talking

880
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: about this before we started the podcast. Look, I know

881
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,840
Speaker 1: the Packers did a lot to try and slow him down,

882
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 1: and you know they did a good job defending him obviously,

883
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: but two targets to targets, that's insane. Me out there

884
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: is a decoy. Was that what the problem? I don't know,

885
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: but that's the offense. Like he didn't I didn't get

886
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: the trade. He doesn't fit the offense. And what they

887
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: want to do this is a run based team. Smash mouth, Okay,

888
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: strong offensive line, run the football with Marshawn Lynch. You've

889
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: got Russell Wilson back there, who does not make mistakes

890
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: as a quarterback typically, and he's a guy who can

891
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: beat you with his legs. The Seahawks have gotten the

892
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls with guys like Doug Baldwin and Jermaine

893
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Curse Zack Miller. You don't add a piece like Jimmy

894
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: Graham and make him. If you add that, you change

895
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 1: the offense. No sense to me. And the offensive line

896
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: is weaker because of the move as well. With Max

897
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: undergoing to to New Orleans. And this is why I

898
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: told people I would not draft Jimmy Graham before the

899
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth rounds and the fourth beginning of the

900
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,359
Speaker 1: fifth because he's not a fit. So you're gonna get

901
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: a game like he got in week one, where pretty good,

902
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get a stinker, and he's gonna

903
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna cause you to pull your hair out because

904
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: he only sees a target or two in the game.

905
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 1: Might become holy touched independent in this offense. The whole

906
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: reason they might have flipped him was to get that

907
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,399
Speaker 1: red zone threat, which we saw in week one. And

908
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's only two weeks. Let's not over react.

909
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't score that touchdown in a week one,

910
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: you're right, Alex, Yeah, it's it's a bad step. He

911
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 1: could become just wholly touchdown dependent where you have to

912
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: helpe they get in there and then just feed him

913
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: the ball in the red zone. But as anybody trading

914
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 1: for him or trading him away, what are we thinking.

915
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not I didn't draft him, I wasn't

916
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 1: really targeting him, and I'm certainly not making a move

917
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: for him right now. Same in our dynasty league. I

918
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: traded him before the season started because he was my

919
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: number one overall pick last year, which I thoroughly regret. Um.

920
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: But I just don't believe in him. I don't, man.

921
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,439
Speaker 1: I mean, like Drew brees in that offense was part

922
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: of the reason why he was so productive. All right. So,

923
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: but there's a lot of owners out there that do

924
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: have Jimmy Graham. I mean, what are you suggesting to them?

925
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Because Jimmy Graham is a guy that has tremendous name value,

926
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:54,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a guy because he has tremendous name value.

927
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,919
Speaker 1: Somebody is going to look and see Jimmy Graham's understanding block.

928
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a move for exactly sell if you

929
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: are selling him, who who are you trying to target?

930
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you can get a couple of

931
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I think you can get a guy even

932
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: though he hasn't really performed, but a guy like Jordan

933
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: Matthews maybe you can get. I think you can get

934
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's some of those kind of

935
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: second tier receivers that are out there that are available.

936
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: For a guy like Jimmy Graham, you can maybe get

937
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,760
Speaker 1: maybe a second tier type running back. There are plenty

938
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 1: of guys out there that I think you can get

939
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: because somebody in your league is going to see Jimmy

940
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: Graham and they're gonna be willing to part with something valuable.

941
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: I got Arian Foster for him, but I mean it's

942
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: a different scenario. It's a dynasty league, and we didn't

943
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: know that Foster was closer to coming back um at

944
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 1: that point. But I would be here's the thing. If

945
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: you picked up like Tyler Eifford off the waiver wire,

946
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: or if you have another tight end that you're comfortable

947
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: with playing and you have a weak spot running back,

948
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: wide receiver, maybe even quarterback. A lot of people are

949
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: looking for quarterback help. Now. I would not be adverse

950
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: to trading Jimmy Graham right now because I don't think

951
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 1: his value is going to do anything but up and

952
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: down all year long, up and down. It's going to

953
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: be a rollerbroop coaster ride. By the end of it.

954
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna be sick. Jimmy Grant for Amari Cooper. I

955
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: would do it, But if you I mean, is it

956
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: it's a it's a fair trade. Now, it's fair. No,

957
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: it's not. It's it's not it's not lop side. It's

958
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 1: a fair trade. I'd make that deal. I made that

959
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: about Jimmy Grant for from here. Abdulist right up, I would,

960
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: I would think about it. I would certainly think about it.

961
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: Um probably. So now next question, what are you doing

962
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: with des Bryant? What are you doing? What are you doing?

963
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: I mean, because we don't have a real timeline on

964
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,479
Speaker 1: when Does is coming back. I mean we saw anything.

965
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: I've seen anything from four to six weeks to ten

966
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: to twelve weeks. That's a huge rate. And if it

967
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: gets closer, if it gets closer to twelve weeks, you

968
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 1: essentially have lost him for the season. I mean, unless

969
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 1: you make the playoffs, you're not getting anything out of

970
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: does Bryant. Even if you do make the playoffs, what

971
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: are you getting from the guy? I mean, I don't

972
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 1: know what to do with Does right now. At first,

973
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: when his injury came out, I was like, trade for him,

974
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: trade for him, because when they said it was like

975
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 1: four to eight, it was like get that panicky owner

976
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: and get him. But now that it's closer to twelve,

977
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you can try and wait like FABS

978
00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: did with Josh Gordon famously a year would you stop?

979
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 1: But that did that work out? Well? Gosh, I don't know.

980
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to consider keeping him that bench spot

981
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: for him if he's going to be out for twelve weeks.

982
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: And and the thing, the thing that stinks too, is

983
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys, Uh, it looks like they're going to

984
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: use that I R designated on Romo and not Dez.

985
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: So so in my leagues, and I advocate this in

986
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: all leagues, I have a reserve spot. But you can't

987
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: put a player in that reserve spot unless he's on

988
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: I R, or unless he's suspended UM or on PUP.

989
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: And if that's not the case with Dez, and your

990
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: roster is small you don't have big rosters, you may

991
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: have to drop him. I wouldn't advocate doing that unless

992
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: that's the scenario. I'd rather just hold onto him, uh

993
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: and keep him on my bench, I think right now.

994
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 1: But give him a couple of weeks, because who knows,

995
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,359
Speaker 1: it's been two three weeks. There's gonna be a point

996
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,320
Speaker 1: of ring fast, like he'll be back in six weeks

997
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: then in good shape. There's gonna be a point where

998
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: you're like, man, there's a hot waiver wire pick up,

999
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 1: and I don't know what to do, and Dez Brian

1000
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 1: is not doing anything on my roster. But for me,

1001
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: I would try like heck to keep him if I could. Yeah,

1002
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean I feel that way, and I think this

1003
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: is without you. If you can, if you can hold

1004
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: on for a couple of weeks, and maybe the Cowboys

1005
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 1: give us a little more clarity on his situation. I mean,

1006
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 1: I need more than you know Des Bryant's own tweets, laughing,

1007
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: laughing at expert. I need. I need a little more

1008
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: medical science behind my decision. Um, so I I would

1009
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: if you can hold on for a couple of weeks.

1010
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,360
Speaker 1: I think that I've got a trade out there, Dez Bryant,

1011
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: I have does Bryant and I made a trade out

1012
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: there for Danny Woodhead. Um, I don't mind that. I

1013
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: don't mind it either. So you gave up Des to

1014
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: get Danny Woodhead. No, it's still it's still hanging out there,

1015
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: and I know the manager is dying to pull the trigger,

1016
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: but not exactly sure what's gonna happen with Dez. But

1017
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean that's that's out there, So I

1018
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I think moving a guy like Dez. I

1019
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't advocate dropping him now. I think he's got too

1020
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: much name value. Uh, you can get something, That's the

1021
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: thing I understand. I understand you wanting to part with

1022
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: Dez right now, but try to get something for him.

1023
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: Don't just release him when I don't give him. When

1024
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: an NFL team trades an aging veteran for like a

1025
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: six round pick in the last year of his contract

1026
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 1: and people are like, why would you do it for

1027
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: only six round pick, It's like, well, if they let

1028
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: him go next year, they get nothing, so at least

1029
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: get yourself something out of it. I wouldn't even think

1030
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: a guy like de Sean Jackson for Dez could be had. Yeah,

1031
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean I would, Look, if you're giving me. If

1032
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,799
Speaker 1: I'm getting to Sean Jackson and I give you Daz,

1033
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: I would do that all day. I don't know that

1034
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,760
Speaker 1: I'd go the other way with it, because the Sean's

1035
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: gonna be back a lot sooner. Sure, but he's still

1036
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna miss a couple of weeks here, so uh. And

1037
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, and again he's wildly inconsistent. So if you're thinking, well,

1038
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm in a group, I'm in a great spot. I'm inna,

1039
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm two and l right now, I've got good points.

1040
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: Maybe on one on one with great points. Maybe I

1041
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: wait and see what happened and roll the dice with Dez.

1042
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. Leads are crazy, man Um, like one

1043
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: one or two more of these before we hit our

1044
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: daily depths. I don't get short on time. Going from

1045
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: Dez to his former teammate DeMarco Murray, who I believe

1046
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: I heard yesterday is on pace to rush for a

1047
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: whopping eighty eight yards this season. Yeah, buddy, Uh, this

1048
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: Eagle's offense is not we we started early in the

1049
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: show talking about how things aren't the way we expected

1050
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: them to be. This Eagle's offense certainly is not what

1051
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: we expected it to be. I mean, and I know

1052
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 1: a lot of us were down on de Marco Murray

1053
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 1: to begin with at this point. Anyway, is there anything

1054
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,720
Speaker 1: you can get a value right now for DeMarco Murray

1055
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: in a trade? I don't know, man, I would I

1056
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 1: would have to think you'd have to be one heck

1057
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 1: of a salesman. Um. I was not board with Tomrco.

1058
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: I hoped that he did well because I know him

1059
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: and I never wish ill on anyone, um, but the

1060
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: numbers just weren't going to add up this year. Even

1061
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: when we were we didn't think it was going to

1062
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: be this bad though, No, I didn't think it was

1063
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: gonna be this bad. I don't think it was gonna

1064
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: be this He eat the average a hundred and thirty

1065
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: one rushing yards in the last fourteen games to equal

1066
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: what he did last year, and he's on pace for

1067
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty fewer Fantasy points. I predicted a

1068
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: hundred fewer. I think I think I projected less than

1069
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: he thought, less than he's on pace for right now,

1070
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: fabs were you and I disagree? Though? Is that? Yes?

1071
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: I get it that he's gonna He's obviously gonna be

1072
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 1: way off pace of last year. But if we were

1073
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: expecting last year's numbers, the guy's going in the first round.

1074
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: No one was expecting to Marco Murray to put up

1075
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: last year's numbers. That's why he was following to the

1076
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: end of the second round. In a lot of leagues,

1077
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: I saw him going to the end of the third

1078
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: round because people are so down on de Marco Murray.

1079
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: Am I crazy in thinking that maybe this Chip Kelly

1080
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 1: offense turns it around a little bit. I like the

1081
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: fact that to Marco Murry it was being used in

1082
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,879
Speaker 1: the passing game. It won't be this bad the rest

1083
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,760
Speaker 1: of the year because if, if it is, chip Kelly's

1084
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: fired before week eight. Here's what. But here's here's a

1085
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: scenario that could happen. Okay, they're playing the Jets this week,

1086
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: arguably the top defense in the entire league. Bradford stinks

1087
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: this week, they do nothing, Sanchez is gonna end up

1088
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 1: having his name thrown around, so says the USC soothsayer. Right,

1089
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: and then you've got a mess on your hands. So

1090
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But um, if you listen to

1091
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: some of the and you should do this because it's hilarious.

1092
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 1: Some of the people who called in a sports talk

1093
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: radio in Philadelphia last week, I'm sure it was comical.

1094
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,280
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.

1095
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: If they go in and lose to the Jets, Uh,

1096
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be calling not only for Chip Kelly's head,

1097
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: but Sam Bradford's head. To man, you know what, this

1098
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing, believe it or not. I'm gonna

1099
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: wait after week three, where DeMarco is almost guaranteed to

1100
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: have a horrible game. Uh, and I'm gonna try to

1101
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: trade for him. I don't know what I'm gonna move,

1102
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: but definitely I'm gonna move a lower type piece to

1103
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: try and get a guy like DeMarco Murray because I

1104
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: just I don't know why. Man, I just feel like

1105
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: the offense is gonna pick up in the back half

1106
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,720
Speaker 1: of the season. DeMarco is gonna figure out that offense

1107
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 1: because remember, he's figuring out a brand new offense. I

1108
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: think he's still got the talent. He's just trying to

1109
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: figure out his way. And when he does that, I

1110
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know. I I like the fact that the offense

1111
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: is gonna move downfield, They're gonna be in the red zone. Um,

1112
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: and Jamarco is still a big part of the could

1113
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: be a good BILO candidate right now. Yeah, you know, yeah,

1114
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: I think he still has something left in him. I

1115
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: think I think it'll get better. Yeah, But also keep

1116
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: in mind Ryan Matthews is still there. Darren Sprowls has

1117
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,479
Speaker 1: been the best of their running backs so far this year.

1118
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: It's just it's a mess. It's a mess, right right,

1119
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: anybody else to talk about? Uh? You know, I don't

1120
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 1: know ifre' anybody else on this list that really pops

1121
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: out of me. I mean, I think c J. Anderson

1122
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: maybe the only other name. And I think, look that

1123
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: that's an the offense that has some problems, but as

1124
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 1: long as they're out of the shotgun, things will be batter.

1125
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sell on c J. Yet. Um. I mean,

1126
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: let's not forget Eddie Lacy started out really slowly last year, um,

1127
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,759
Speaker 1: due to a little bit like the minor concussion and

1128
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: some tough matchups. Anderson has had two tough matchups in

1129
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: Casey in Baltimore right away. He's also dined up with

1130
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: a toe right now. Not time to press the panic

1131
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: button quite yet. By the way, Mike Crazy in trying

1132
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: to buy Larry fits, No, not at all. I had

1133
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: I dropped. I feel a little chemistry. I mean, you

1134
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: unfairly got yelled at yesterday when we were talking about it.

1135
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: But as I said, when I I looked at it, Fitzgerald,

1136
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: over his last eight games with Palmer, has had forty

1137
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: six catches, six two yards and five touchdowns. Now granted,

1138
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 1: three of those touchdowns came on Sunday. However, the point

1139
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: is the volume is there He's been targeted fifty eight

1140
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: times in eight games. By the way, this has got

1141
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: to hurt somebody like John Brown. It's got to I

1142
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: think John Brown is still gonna be fine, because the

1143
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: trouble is John Brown has been a better real football

1144
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: player than a fantasy people all played right now because

1145
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: if you got point for deep past interference penalties and

1146
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: it rain right now, because he legitimately has at two

1147
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: or three each game where he's torched somebody with his

1148
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: speed and they've just tackled him before the balls got there,

1149
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: you know your loving life. Yeah, it was really funny yesterday, man,

1150
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: I bring up the whole Larry Fitzterday. I'm like, yeah, man,

1151
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: Larry fits his balling out all of us. I don't

1152
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: know what The fantasy fortress explodes all up in my face.

1153
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: If you see Gil Hall and talking about yeah, Cole

1154
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: fits this, and Matt Harmon's over there saying yeah, wagging

1155
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: his finger in my face. Alex Wilke was getting into it,

1156
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: and we got an executive John Marvel's all of a

1157
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 1: sudden calling me an idiot. I'm like, what's happening. I'm

1158
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:45,200
Speaker 1: just bringing up is still around. I don't understand what's happened?

1159
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:49,879
Speaker 1: Don't you facts? Don't you dare spout facts in our

1160
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 1: news room? Crazy? All right it is. I know we're

1161
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 1: running short on time. Let's tap it up. Let's do it.

1162
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: Giv deps does not depth alright, So for daily that's

1163
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: as always and we'll deal this out like a deck

1164
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: of cards. Alex oh Man, I get to start, all right,

1165
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: My Daily DAP is going to go out to director

1166
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: Dennis fillon Neuava. He did the new movie that's coming out, Cicario.

1167
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: It's got Emily Brunt, Blunt excuse me, Josh Brolin, and

1168
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: Benicio del Toro, and it's a nice It's a tense

1169
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: thriller about like the drug war that's going on at

1170
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 1: the border of US in Mexico. Fantastic movie. I recommended.

1171
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: It probably doesn't come out wide yet for another week

1172
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 1: or so in most places. We get everything here early

1173
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 1: in l A, which is great. But also why I

1174
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: signal out Dennis Hill in Auaveas because he did Prisoners

1175
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 1: last year or two years ago with Hugh Jackman and

1176
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: Terence that wasn't and Jake Gillen Hall excellent movie. So

1177
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: I am I'm loving Dennis Filling a waver now and

1178
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start digging up his other work. Um, he's

1179
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: going a movie called Enemy that's gonna be the top

1180
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: of my list to see. But if you haven't seen Prisoners,

1181
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: go get it on DVD. Is even fab said it's

1182
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:03,479
Speaker 1: awesome movie. And then Cicario when it comes out really

1183
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: great too. So I'm I'm all on board his films

1184
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: now and can't wait to watch more. On the movie tip,

1185
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: I went to see Black Mass good good, not great, good,

1186
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: not great. I felt like, you know, been a a cumbermatch.

1187
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: It was a fantastic actor. I felt like they kind

1188
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: of wasted him. I thought the code of Johnson Um,

1189
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: who was much better than she was in that fifty

1190
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 1: Shades of Grade Rash, kind of wasted. It's good, it's not.

1191
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp is like the Matt Stafford of movies. He's

1192
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: had like one, maybe two good performances and everyone just

1193
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: thinks this guy is awesome. Yeah, you know what, he

1194
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 1: made a whole lot of money from the Pirates of Caribbean,

1195
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 1: James co tab it up, man, you know what I'm

1196
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with Carolina Cornerback Josh Norman. I'm starting to

1197
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: do a little game tape on Josh Norman. You know

1198
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: why the dude blasted me on Twitter. He he's good

1199
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 1: at the Twitter game. Man. Oh, he goes crazy on Twitter.

1200
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: He's very uh. He engaged with the fans a lot

1201
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Anyway. So I wrote a tweet about you

1202
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: know de Hop, you know, struggling or whatever it was

1203
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: in his week to match up against Carolina, and he

1204
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: hits me back and says, oh, And basically what I

1205
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 1: said was, you know, de Hops got sixteen yards after

1206
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: a half, right um? And then I wrote I'm sick.

1207
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,479
Speaker 1: And then Josh Norman, like at like midnight, okay, hits

1208
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 1: me back and says, good, you should be sick. And

1209
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, who is this Josh Norman guy?

1210
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: And why is he? I totally thought it was a

1211
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: fake account. I go to the account, I'm like, oh

1212
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: my god, this is really Josh Norman. Anyway, So I

1213
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: so I started doing a little digging. You know, he

1214
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: really started to come on in the back half of

1215
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: last season. And I'm telling you, I'm telling you, this

1216
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: guy is truly going to be one of the hot

1217
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: names in the back half of this season because he's

1218
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: really emerging as one of those shutdown guys. Look in

1219
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: the back half of last season. Keep in mind he

1220
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: didn't even start, really start until Week eight last year.

1221
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: I mean he was in and out of the line

1222
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 1: up for the last few years. But last year, Jeremy Macklan,

1223
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,520
Speaker 1: he held the three catches thirty eight yards. He held

1224
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: Mike Evans to two catches thirteen yards. He held Josh

1225
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 1: Gordon to four catches forty eight yards. Even the great

1226
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: Julio Jones only average sixty yards a game against Josh Norman,

1227
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: then against Alan Robinson, then we saw what we did

1228
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: against the hop. Uh, this guy is really starting to

1229
00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: emerge in my mind as a shutdown corner. So big

1230
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: daily DAPs to Josh Norman. Nice. He was balling out

1231
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: last year and people weren't giving him enough respect. So

1232
00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: that's why he's taking to the Twitter machine. He's going

1233
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: to take his respect. Uh fabs, Well what what you got?

1234
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: H Allen Robinson, who was one of my favorite preseason sleepers,

1235
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: breaks out last week against the Dolphins and has a

1236
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: huge game, uh well over hundred yards two touchdowns, and

1237
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: he is going to be making appearance on NFL Fantasy

1238
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: Live on NFL Network Thursday, I'll be interviewing him company

1239
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:04,440
Speaker 1: man Toss. Congratulations to Alan, who also, by the way,

1240
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: has a pretty good matchup this week against the Patriots,

1241
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 1: right I said, yes, he does, Patriots, he absolutely does. Yeah. Uh, well,

1242
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a daily DAP to a guy that

1243
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 1: I literally have known my entire life. I was introduced

1244
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: to this guy when I was two years old and

1245
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: we have been best friends and brothers pretty much ever

1246
00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: since then. And uh, he turns forty years old today.

1247
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: Happy Happy birthday, Brian Murray. Bro, I love you. I
