Fellas? 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.319 How you guys doing? How you living? We're doing really 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.040 really well, and we thought we wanted to have you 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.160 back on today's show because we talked a lot last 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.000 time you were here about taking the name off the 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.039 back of the jersey. Know Franksman harping on that you've 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.800 been harping on that, and we thought on today's show, 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.080 as we look toward week fifteen, it was more important 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.840 than ever to do that, letting the people know who 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.360 they're going to bench in their semi finals, who they 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.240 absolutely cannot start. I know, Frankie, you've got a ton 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.680 of questions. Keith, You've got a ton of questions, and 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:48.560 we want to answer those questions on today's program. Franky, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.760 what's up man? Greggy, what's going on? Dude? Big night 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.240 for the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers.

A little little D one college basketbatch, 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.240 barely Division one. But outside of that, I'm doing swell. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.560 I'm excited for the show today. We got some news 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.960 to some random quarterback stuff involving Carson Wentz. Mark Jackson 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.320 will get into that as well. Some of the some 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.359 of those players that you mentioned getting a lot of 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.200 questions about right now. Aaron Rodgers all the Packers, do 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.840 you start against the Bears? So that'll be fun. Are 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.400 you doing? Greg? Seem you seem a little you know, 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.079 you're good? Feel him a little grouchy? Coming into the show. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:26.519 I don't know what you mean. You were telling me 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.040 the story. I was kind of listening, and I was 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.200 kind of listening. You weren't actually listening, and you're like, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.560 all right, for good show starring alright you I was 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.440 telling you what I was telling you a story. I 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.400 was listening, you know. Really, we're not paying attention. I 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.040 listened to the entire story. Not really, I could tell 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.200 you want me to tell it back to word, word forward, 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:50.280 right down the Air's man, you guys really are like 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.800 a married couple. I'm sorry you guys like genuinely are. Um. 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.760 I feel like I'm watching a conversation between a married couple. Yeah, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.440 that's exactly what it is. It's exactly what we're going 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.160 for too. By the way, you know, you got you 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.359 guys know. By the way, you can watch Keith on 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.520 Tops that other pregame show CBS Sports Network on Sunday 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.120 before the games begin, and you can catch him right 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.560 now for the next hour with us here on the 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:14.959 Fantasy Best Friends Forever. Let's start with the injuries in 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.280 the latest headlines, and that is that Carson Wentz will 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.840 miss this Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams on 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.120 Sunday Night Football. It was last year in l A 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.960 or against l A that he hurt that need toward 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.239 the A c L and he we know we're looking 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:31.120 was looking forward to geving a chance to play the Rams. Unfortunately, 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:33.880 this backage issue that as people who Philly have noticed, 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.200 um that has been nagging at him all year long. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.800 It's gotten severe enough he's been he's most likely not 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.440 going to play on Sunday and taking it a step further, 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.080 there is a chance if they lose on Sunday and 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.840 their playoff hopes are all but gone, he will be 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.000 out the rest of the season. Frank, how does this 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.200 affect fantasy matchups this weekend? Yeah, it definitely does because 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.880 Carson Wentz. I mean, you know, the Nick Foles story 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.320 was fun while lasted last year more than on you 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.320 want it was. She was huge, But really, when we 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.480 break it down, like, is Nick Foles going to make 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.560 the d Philadelphia Eagles a better team than Carson Wentz? 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:12.680 My my guess is probably not so. As of right now, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.640 it looks unlikely that Carson Wentz is going to play 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.479 for the Eagles. And as you mentioned, you know, once 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.560 they get once they lose this game, because you know 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.240 they're traveling across the country to face the Rams in 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.040 a game where they are they're getting nine and a 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.520 half points. I just I could see the number going 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.440 up a little bit with the Nick Foles as the 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.720 quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, it's gonna be rough 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.120 from here on out. For for Eagles pass catchers, you 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:36.239 still have to get Zach Ertz in your lineup because 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.240 just the state of the Titan position is not a 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.840 good one. But Bold and Tate, we thought we could 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.160 trust him heading into last week, and then against the 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.760 Dallas Cowboys, he laid an egg and it was actually 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.400 Alston Jeffrey who had the bigger game, got back in 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.280 the end zone scored a touchdown. So I don't know 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.240 that you're gonna be able to trust anyone outside of 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.840 Zach Ertz. I think Darren Sprowls is an interesting name 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.440 because they'll be chasing points. He's going to get some 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:02.160 targets here. Um he's he scored a touchdown last week, 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.920 So it's really just Zach Ertz and I don't want 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.840 to trust anybody else in this offense. Great, Yeah, I 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.120 don't want to trust anybody either. Zach Ertz is the 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.520 only guy all though. It was funny we were just 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.800 talking about a week ago, how maybe Dallas Conner's really 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.480 a guy you don't have to trust. I don't think 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.880 you could do that with Nick Foles as the starting 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.800 quarterback and talking about players the bench, Keith in this game, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.480 my man, Josh Adams is probably going to be one 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.120 of them. Like I know, the Rams defense is susceptible 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.760 to a running back, but as we saw, when Philly 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.960 gets down, the running backs just not going to be 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.119 Josh Adams. It's going to be a lot of darren 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.400 Sproles with Carson Wentz out reportedly on Sunday, are you 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.440 gonna be interested in in starting a darren Sproles potentially 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.040 or are there any other Philly wide receivers that you 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.320 do feel comfortable starting let's go. No, I don't feel 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.400 comfortable with anyone when Nick Foles. Nick Foles is a guy. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.080 And again you guys talked about the story. He was 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.200 a great story last year. I'm actually in Eagles fans. 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.200 It was fun for me to watch them win a 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:58.120 super Bowl. But you look at the Rams, who's kind 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.600 of lackluster against the run. A think there's gonna be 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.880 fool's gold. I think people are going to start Josh Adams, 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.360 and you're gonna see Adams put up decent numbers, and 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:08.960 like the first quarter, maybe even the second quarter, people 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.320 are gonna get all giddy, and then the Eagles are 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.480 gonna be down by two scores and they're not gonna 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.960 go to him anymore. If I had to pick someone, it, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.359 I mean, obviously it zach Ertz. I mean, Frank, You're right, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.920 zach Ertz. His clear cut tight end is a is 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.000 a mess all year long. Put him in your lineup, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.520 I guess I go Sprowls, but I'm looking so elsewhere. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.520 I don't want to touch anything with Eagles. It's funny 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.760 that you guys brought up went right away, literally right 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.480 before we went on. My buddy CJ sends me a 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.000 text with a curse word because he has went as 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:42.560 his starting quarterback in the playoffs this week. That's joy, milf. 0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:47.360 I thought I wasn't sure Mike was on Talk, and 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:54.279 it was all that's brutal for your buddy, Yes, right. 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:56.520 I think there are a lot of running back committees, 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.320 and we've seen this all year long, where it's dependent 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.200 on game flow. And we said this early on in 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.600 the week. If you can predict game flow, you know, 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:04.920 before the week starts, you should be a millionaire. You 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.480 shouldn't you know, you shouldn't be watching us. But it's 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.440 very hard to predict. And you know, last week, if 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.240 we told you Jordan Howard would have run for a 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.720 hundred yards against Los Angeles Rams, you would have thought 0:07:13.720 --> 0:07:16.160 you were crazy. But that's what ultimately happened. You can't 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:18.160 predict that kind of game script. Josh Adams is a 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:20.480 guy where if the game is competitive, if it's close, 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.440 or if the Eagles are playing with the lead, he's 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.800 gonna have that twenty carry game. We saw the back 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.360 to back games with twenty carries that had never happened 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.240 for a running back in the era under Doug Peterson, 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.679 Like that had never happened. But so he clearly trust 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.480 Josh Adams when that game is close, and it's what 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:37.800 is that going to happen? Is that going to be 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.600 the case with a Rams deep team that just got 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.960 embarrassed in prime time on Sunday Night Football? Now traveling 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.360 back home where Jared Goff and the offense has been 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.200 much much better this season. I just I see the 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:51.280 Eagles chasing points a lot in this one, and it's 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.480 gonna set up where, you know, I don't know how 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:58.320 I can realistically project for more than you knowlten carries 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.120 for Josh Adams realistically. Yeah. Agree. It's also to lackluster 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.080 weeks in a row for Josh Adams. By the way, 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.160 it's like nothing special for him the last couple of weeks. Yeah, 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.080 I'm not I'm not in. I'm out. Yeah, I think 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:11.560 you have to be in as much as you want. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.520 We like Josh Adams and we we love the fact 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.480 that he had those twenty carries in a couple of 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.640 weeks in a row. The match is not right for him. 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.000 He's gonna be on my bench this week as well. 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:22.080 I don't don't think you could start him and feel 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.400 good about it. Let's get to Baltimore, where change was 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.000 inevitable after the way the Ravens have played over the 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.520 past several weeks, and it was beneficial today John Harball 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.800 keeping Lamar Jackson as starting quarterback. That's something the Giants 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.000 I wish I would have taken advantage of, given a 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.760 young kid a chance to play. Ultimately he won the job. 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.840 Joe Flacco, he is going to be the active backup 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.760 back up this weekend. Uh. John Harbor was taking it 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.800 week by week. Listen, if from whatever reason, Lamar Jackson 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.920 all of a sudden falls on his face, Joe Flacker 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.360 is going to be the starting quickerback, um. But as 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.160 of now, Lamar Jackson the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens. Obviously, 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:58.559 Frankie doesn't really change things because he has been that. 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.559 But we may have seen the end of Joe's time 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:04.319 in Baltimore, and I think we kind of saw the 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.400 writing on the wall here too. They obviously drafted Lamar 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.280 Jackson in the first round. Mind you remember they drafted 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.040 Hayden Hurst before they drafted Lamar Jackson. They had two 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.040 first round picks there at the end of the first round, 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.679 and they drafted Hayden Hurst before they drafted Lamar Jackson. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.679 But that's neither here nor there. Uh. They clearly like 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.840 Lamar Jackson. And you know, I think we all thought 0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:24.400 it was going to come maybe a couple of years 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:26.160 down the road. I don't know that we saw this 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.959 kind of timeline shaping out this quickly for Lamar Jackson. 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.360 But in the three starts that he's he's made so 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.280 far in four points per passing touchdown leagues. He's finished 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.120 QB fifteen, KB eleven, and QB twelve. He doesn't have 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.240 massive upside, but he's not killing you either. He has 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.719 a safe floor because of that rushing potential that we've 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.200 seen the past three weeks, at least the past four games, 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.520 actually at least seventy one rushing yards in each one 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.719 of those games. So we talked about Josh Allen, we 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.040 talked about Lamar Jackson, what they can add with their legs. 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:55.719 He doesn't throw all that much. He hasn't thrown for 0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:57.480 more than a hundred and seventy yards in any of 0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.960 those games. And mind you, Greg, a lot of people 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.800 see the Tampa Bay Bucks defense and they're like, Oh, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.200 start everybody against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Not necessarily, their 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.480 defense has actually turned a corner. They've been really good 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:10.400 the past month or so against quarterbacks. They're actually giving 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.839 up the fifth fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.400 last month. So I don't think it's just like a 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.480 slam dunk play every single player against the Bucks anymore. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.560 But I will say this, we're gonna talk about players. 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.199 Oh you don't want to bench. In Week fifteen, I 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.920 have Lamar Jackson ranked ahead of Aaron Rodgers. Is okay, 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.840 So that's interesting and I agree with the ranking. They're 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.079 my biggest fear when I'm talking about playing in a 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.199 playoff of putting a guy like Lamar Jackson out there 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.719 on on my line up is the injury factor. Now, 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:40.600 to be fair, he missed what twenty minutes of game 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:43.120 time last week. It's still put up really good numbers, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.640 but the fear factor of him getting injured that style 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.839 of play, it definitely scares me and makes me apprehensive 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.520 to put him in my lineups. And I don't think 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.360 we're completely in the clear yet because, okay, he was 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.760 named the starting quarterback. What happens if he comes out 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.319 and he starts playing horribly in the first half? Like, 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.319 is there a chance we c Joe Flacco? You know, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.040 if he's healthy and he's he's the backup, Like you 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.120 treat it as any other quarterback situation, right, If you 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:08.160 have a rookie who's struggling and you're in a must 0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.160 win situation for the Baltimore Ravens, then I don't think 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.319 that we're completely in the clear when it comes to 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.319 Lamar Jackson like, if he's playing bad, there's still a 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.480 chance to So I'll throw that out there. But it's 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.880 just I don't know how you can start any quarterback. 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.520 And again, you know, strip the name off the back 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.240 of the jersey. How can you start any quarterback given 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.280 what we just saw happen with Jared Goff and the 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.280 Rams offense. Mind you, the Rams offense, which is like 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.160 a top three offense all season long. How can you 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.559 willingly start Aaron Rodgers this week? I don't think you can. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.959 Aaron Rodgers is far removed from where he was on 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.520 draft Day as the first quarterback off the board, and 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.480 will be clear right last year he got injured down 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.560 the stretch and you necessarily want to start him against 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.959 the Minnesota Vikings. The year before that, down the stretch, 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.720 we said, hey, is Aaron Rodgers now not staring matchup 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.560 dependent but not necessarily the must start either. We've reached 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.760 the same territory. I know he was good against Atlanta 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.920 last week. That means nothing to make good for ninety 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.079 six yards, Greg. He hasn't thrown for more than two 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.480 thirty three yards in the past three games. Can you 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.480 can you guess the last time that he threw for 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.839 three touchdowns in a game, Greg, I just hope you're 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.319 gonna tell me no, give me a week throu throw 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:19.560 a week he probably three pay Week one against the Bears. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.319 He did it. He did do it in Week one. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:22.920 It wasn't the last time he did it. It was 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:26.160 Week five against the lock So Keith is technically closer, 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.000 but still he hasn't done it since we You know, 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.200 this isn't Aaron Rodgers of old. While he's not throwing 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.400 for air receptions, he's also not putting up the massive 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.120 touchdown totals either. Would you start this week Aaron Rodgers 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:41.760 Derek Carr. I've actually got this question. I can't. Okay, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.840 I can't. I think it's a good question though, because 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.440 I have them coolsely ranks right now. I have Aaron 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.440 Rodgers is like my QB seventeen, and I have Derek 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.839 Carr not far behind him, and it's a solid match 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.800 up against the Bengals. I just feel like it's like 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.000 Derek Carr in the Raiders offense could just implode at 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:58.520 any point. He doesn't have you know, many weapons to 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.079 throw the ball too. He is playing better as of 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.040 late and it's a good matchup on paper against the 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.040 Cincinnati Mangles. Maybe there's something we need to revisit later 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.679 in the week. I don't I don't know if I 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.600 have the cojones to start Derek car over Aaron Rodgers. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.280 But I think it's a good question. And Keith what 0:13:11.559 --> 0:13:13.839 what Frank what? Frank just mentioned? The cone is to 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.160 do it? How big the conas have to be to 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.280 actually lead Aaron Rodgers on the bench, like for for 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.120 Lamar Jackson, for Josh Allen forward Derek, I have all 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.320 I have those ahead of Aaron Rodgers. I just don't 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:26.520 think I would you have, Keith. The cohona is to 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:30.880 actually do that, though, all right? For Lamar Jackson, I 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.120 don't care about the ranking. I can't start Lamar Jackson 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.719 over Aaron Rodgers. I don't know. And and this is 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:38.640 the moment where I can't forget about the name Aaron Rodgers. 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.880 The Josh Allen thing is really interesting to me, and 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.520 I got that question this week, and my my response was, 0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.320 Josh Allen is the better play If we sit here 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.680 and say, I don't care about names, I don't care 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.640 about anything like that. But my my only question is 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:58.080 are you okay with sitting this future Hall of famer 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.599 who could blow up, could have a good game and 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:03.319 have him on your bench. I eat Tom Brady last 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.840 week against the Miami Dolphins, which wasn't a great matchup, 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.040 but still puts up thirty six points in most leagues? 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.800 Are you okay with that? If you are? Josh Allen's 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.800 a smarter play. I can't do. I can't do. Lamar 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.959 Jackson though, and two Keith's point. The last time and 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.360 Rodgers faced the Bears, he threw for two eighties, six 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.720 and three. So he was very good. You know in 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.160 four point passing touchdounds in my league, he was right 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.760 around twenty five fantasy points. And he left that game too. 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.360 He left that game. But remember Khalil Mack was traded 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:29.880 to the Bears like two days before that, right, so 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.520 it wasn't he was still getting acclimate. He was still 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.160 getting aclam and he was still getting in shape. It's 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.880 a totally different defense now. The bearrass house on that 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.800 game too. We got tired, but he got tiredly. That's 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.560 not gonna happen now. So what you're you're asking us, Greg, 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.440 what do you do? What do I do? Um? You 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.160 know I was talking to I was talking to understand 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.200 the counter points that Keith. I had Tom Brady ranked 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.880 low last week, and he finishes the QB one, So 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:56.560 we know what they're these They're upside can be. It's 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.280 just I don't know, man. The musters of the Midway 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.280 going into Chicago right now is just very, very scary 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:07.720 place to be. It's a rivalry matchup with the team 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.040 that amazingly is the best team in the NFC North, 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:15.040 the Chicago Berries Green May Packers. The rivalry game against 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:18.480 that defense, I think I'd rather start Josh Allen man 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:21.280 and Lamar Jackson. But would you start Lamar? That's what 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.680 I want to know. So here's my thing. If you're 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.160 gonna start Josh Allen, why not start Lamar Jackson? Like 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:30.280 it's kind of similar, Sar can I jump in on 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:35.240 this one because there's a real backup right now in Baltimore. 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.200 If Lamar Jackson goes out with injury, Let's say, even 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.720 if you just shake it up and Flacco comes in, 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.920 we know the Flacco's gonna track record of winning a 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.680 Super Bowl and being a starting quarterback. I don't even 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:49.880 know who the backup is in Buffalo right now. Well, 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:57.120 it's Derrick Derrick Anderson's hurt. Yeah, I'm not afraid of that. 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:01.720 I'm sure you're not. I'm sure you're not. Obviously. Um, 0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.480 with Josh Allen the rushing yards much like Lamar Jackson, 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:07.880 they are for real. What is interesting, guys, though, is 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.240 Josh Allen's rushing ability hasn't been able to turn the 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.920 running attack in Buffalo making anything right. Let Shan McCoy 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:17.440 hasn't really done anything. You spoke yesterday. You don't really 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:18.960 want to start Chris Ivory, you don't want to start 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.000 necessarily start Marcus Murphy. Um if lash McCoy is out, 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.040 which I do expect him to be, but in Baltimore 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.840 you're all over the rushing attack. So it's kind of 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.320 interesting how two running quarterbacks. One has changed things for 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.360 the better, one hasn't really changed things at all. Frank, 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:33.960 I actually saw a really interesting statuesterday. If I could 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:35.880 find it from Pro Football Focus, I'll bring it up 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:39.280 to you guys. But it's basically the majority of Lamar 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.960 Jackson's rushing attempts have been designed runs, and it's basically 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.120 vice versa when it comes to Josh Allen, like all 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.000 of his rushing production has come on broken place where 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:52.000 he's just scrambling out and because like if he if 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:54.360 his first read is not open. This is like it 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.280 happens for a lot of rookie quarterbacks. They look to 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.120 take off and run. That's more especially so when it 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:02.240 comes to gosh Allen. So it's basically the majority of 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.960 his runs are broken place. I don't know if that 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.879 is something that translates into like the rushing attack for 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:10.680 the running backs, at least when it comes like Lamar Jackson, 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.359 like these are designed runs where it's like read options stuff, 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:16.080 but he's keeping the ball and running himself. That kind 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.399 of you know, that kind of play call makes it 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.760 tough to stop running backs the other way for the Bills. 0:17:20.880 --> 0:17:27.600 I don't need translates back right after this Daily Rodo 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.760 dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players.
