1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: The most valuable commandity I know of is information. Wouldn't

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: you agree?

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: Five five dollars?

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 3: This is a regular level happy table ship one.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Fine, you're saying humans need fantasy to make life bearable.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: Humans need fantasy to be human?

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: My goodness, miss.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Prone best, relentless refusing.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: To give up?

10
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,640

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: How are you doing?

22
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: I am doing well. NBA preseason is back, so yes,

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: it's dual sports season here in my household. But yeah,

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: NFL October, I don't know where September went? Like, how

25
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: are we on Week five? Already? These games are flying by?

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm ready to dig in and play two

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: sports every weekend. It's gonna be a lot of fun.

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel the same way, like this season is

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: flying by, and not in a good way because.

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 1: I'm already getting like, oh my god, like it's it's

32
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: already like this much over.

33
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean I was literally writing a couple

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 3: articles this like earlier this week and putting week four

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 3: in it because my brain still has not like adjusted

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 3: that we're five Like we're five weeks in, so it's

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: it's definitely pretty crazy. Do you have any crazy cool

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: takeaways from week four?

39
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Well, my takeaway from week four is that I'm always excited.

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: I was really excited that the bye week's moved back

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: because I was like, yes, then after week four we

42
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: will officially be twenty five percent of the way through

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: the season. But no, we had to have the stupid

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: seventeenth game, and all my fractions and percentages are screwed up. Now,

45
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: four to seventeen is nothing. Nobody cares what that number is.

46
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: I have no idea what that is. We're nothing percentage

47
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: of the season. Nobody knows anymore. So that's my takeaway.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, Roger Goodell, quit being so greedy and just

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: let us watch some football and do normal fractions.

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: Fair enough, fair enough, Well, I am super excited about

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: this slate. Thursday, we get an awesome game ram Seahawks,

52
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: which I think will be a total bonanza game. And

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 3: then we get a London game, which is very exciting.

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: You're not excited about it, but it's very exciting.

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: We send we somehow we've managed to send the absolute

56
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: worst games of the week to London, like Falcons and Jets.

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Who is setting their alarm to get up for this game?

58
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: Like Londoners should take a nap in the afternoon during

59
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: this game. It is a terrible game. How do you

60
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: even know if it's a great fantasy game? Both of

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: these offenses have been horrible, like the Jets around a

62
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: win streak, so maybe they'll get their second win in

63
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: a row and keep the good times going. But I

64
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: don't know if we're gonna have London football and go

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: from like eight in the morning until midnight, at least

66
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: can we make it. Give us one good team like

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: sixty and nothing, that'd be fine. Falcons against the Bucks great.

68
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: I'll let Tom Brady score a whole bunch of touchdowns.

69
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: But I don't know London. Well, let's just say this,

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy owners, set your lineup Saturday night. I can't tell

71
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: you how many times I've forgotten to set my lineup,

72
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: and now Sunday morning, I'm like, ah, no, there was

73
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: a stupid game in London again, So get your lineup.

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: Been early.

75
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't lie to yourselves and tell you yourselves that

76
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna do it in the morning, because you're not.

77
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: It's like the lie that we all tell ourselves that

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: we're gonna get gas in the morning, and like that

79
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: never works out. So in terms of a fantasy game,

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, Like the total is forty

81
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: six for this game, which I think is generous, and

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: like the Jets have kept their games pretty low scoring,

83
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: like their defense has looked semi good. The Falcons defense

84
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: is obviously terrible, but on the other side of the ball,

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: it's Zach Wilson throwing them and they don't really have

86
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: too too many like exciting players on that team, So

87
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, there's not too much of an appeal

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: for me. You're probably starting the normal guys and sitting

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: the normal guys, like.

90
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: You're probably starting Calvin Ridley in this game.

91
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 3: I hope he can get it done. Haven't seen him

92
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: at all this season.

93
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, if your Sunday is looking a little cramped,

94
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: if you're going to make some time for the family

95
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: and not watch the entire day of football, go ahead

96
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: and skip Sunday morning and tune in Sunday night for

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: the Bills and the Chiefs game. That's the one you

98
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: want to watch. That's, you know, a possible AFC championship.

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: A lot of points there. Any game with the Chiefs

100
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: younior are getting points on that one. So if you

101
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 2: got to pick and choose a little bit, let's just

102
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: say I won't be taking too long to decide between Jets,

103
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: Falcons and Bill's Chiefs that night. But I'm going to

104
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: ask you, though, this is not really a fantasy question,

105
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: it is a football question. And Christmas came early for

106
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: you today, just an hour or two ago. Your Carolina

107
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 2: Panthers have a big new addition. What do you think that.

108
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: Is super exciting? You know?

109
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 3: I saw that he was I mean, they were talking

110
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: about the trade earlier this morning, and I was in

111
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: my head like I can't jinx it, I can't even

112
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: post about it on Twitter, and I post everything Like

113
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, I just drink milk, like and then that's

114
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 3: what's going on Twitter. But I was like, can't post

115
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: about it because like I'll jinx it. And I was

116
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: just super happy to see that. And I feel like

117
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: that is quite the discount for Gilmore to twenty twenty third,

118
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: sixth so certainly feels like.

119
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: A good move.

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 3: I'm and I'm happy for them. They obviously need some

121
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: secondary help. Jac Horn went out early, so yeah, just

122
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: overall very happy for them.

123
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: Do you have any how many? How many of your

124
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: fantasy team names? Have you already changed to Gilmore girl zero?

125
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: But that's a good one.

126
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, definitely watch that Sunday night game over this

127
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: Sunday morning game.

128
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the cool thing about being me, like cool

129
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: thing about me.

130
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: Is that I have no like family obligations, so I

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: get to watch whatever games I want to watch.

132
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: But anyway, let us dive into some man pid questions.

133
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: Brandon, I'm so thankful that everyone sent in some really

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 3: good ones, so let's.

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Kick it off.

136
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a popular week to be Ryan, so

137
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: we start out with a Ryan email. Good afternoon, Samantha,

138
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: love the pod and the whole gang at action. So

139
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 2: I'm in that a one four bucket you're talking about,

140
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: and I need some help with my running back and receiver

141
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: situation and never seem to make the right place story

142
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: of my life right. I am playing in a PPR

143
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: league open two opinions on all slots, so starting two

144
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: receivers to running backs and the flex feel free to

145
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: cover just one of the positions for this week. Here

146
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: are the options, so running back Antonio Gibson, Cuba Hubbard,

147
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: Clyde Edwards, Hilaire, Damien Harris, Elijah Mitchell, and Damian Williams

148
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: off waivers, and then receiver Tyler Lockett, Sterling Shopard, Robert Woods,

149
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: Chase Claypool, Hunter, renfro and Cole Beasley. Thanks much. That

150
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: is a lot mostly nothing. Where do we start with that?

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: That is definitely a lot.

152
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: I mean I think that the team doesn't look terrible

153
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: or anything like that, though it does feel like it's

154
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: like missing like a first round pick, so maybe they

155
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: had CMC or something like that. So I mean, first

156
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 3: of all, I just want to say my oh and

157
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: four friends that I started zero and five one year

158
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: and still in the league, like you can definitely make

159
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: it work. I know It's it sounds like crazy, but

160
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: you can sneak in with like US seven and seven

161
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: record or something this year and still make the playoffs.

162
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 3: I think you need to be very keen on waivers

163
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 3: and everything and obviously make the right start sit decisions.

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: So thank you very much for the support, and I'm

165
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: so glad you trust us with your lineup decisions. I'm

166
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: going to start with receivers since I think there's like

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: fewer options here. So that's Lockett, Shephard, Woods, Claypool, renfro

168
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: and Beasley. There's still a good chance that Shepherd and

169
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 3: Claypool don't play this week. They didn't play last week,

170
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: and I don't really know that I'm interested in them

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: either way. Like I think they're just maybe like dart

172
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: throws at this point because honestly, like I'm not sure

173
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: that there's any receivers on the Giants that I really trust.

174
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: Shepherd had looked good, but you know, there's a lot

175
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: of guys there. There's Kenny gollad I had a good

176
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: game without without Shepherd and Slayton, as did Clarius Tony,

177
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 3: So not super interested there.

178
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: Claypool has been the biggest casualty of Big.

179
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: Ben I think this season it's just really a shame

180
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: because it just his skill set of like stretching the

181
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: field just does not align with Ben Roethlisberger's now limited

182
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: skill set. But yeah, he's definitely taking a hit.

183
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's startable.

184
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: So looking at the other guys Hunter Renfron and Cole Beasley,

185
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: I would put in like that same range in the

186
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: in the same range of each other and not like

187
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: wide receiver for flex. So it's really to me, I'm

188
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: starting Lockett in Woods, and I get your trepidation to

189
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 3: start either of them because they've both kind of been

190
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: like not as good. Lockett had two monster games to

191
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 3: start the season and then Woods had I sorry, and

192
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: then had two pretty bad games. He's dealing with a

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: hip injury, so hopefully he's trending in the right direction.

194
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: I think that it's just one of those offenses though,

195
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 3: and one of those guys that's just so high upside,

196
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't see you sitting him, And the same thing

197
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: with Woods. I mean that's same game. I think it's

198
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 3: going to be a big game with a lot of

199
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: points on each side. Sean McVay says he wants to

200
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: get the bomb order Robert Woods, but like, how do

201
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 3: you know when Sean mcfay is lying when his lips

202
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 3: are moving? I don't know, but you know, hopefully that's

203
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: true for fantasy managers. So I am going with Woods Lockett.

204
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: As for running backs, this one is you have a

205
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 3: lot of options, which is obviously really good. I think

206
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: that Gibson, Edwards, a Laire, Harris, and Williams are kind

207
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: of all in that same tier like high end RB twos,

208
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 3: So that's really great that you have four of those options, Hubbard,

209
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: and Mitchell, and that's assuming Mitchell plays this week.

210
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm putting in that like RB three.

211
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: Flex territory, I think your running backs are better than receivers,

212
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 3: and even though there's like obviously the impulse to start

213
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: receivers in a PPR league in your flex, I think

214
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 3: they're just so much better. So Gibson's the no brainer

215
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: of this group. And then I am probably going Harris

216
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 3: and Williams. I think they have the best matchups at

217
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: Houston and at Las Vegas. I know Harris really disappointed

218
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: on Sunday night.

219
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: The whole Patriots rushing game though, was just like they.

220
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't even want to say, like they abandoned the run, Like,

221
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 3: I don't know what you call it?

222
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,719
Speaker 1: What do you call it? When you have negative one

223
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: rushing yards like what they were doing.

224
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: Bill tell Track knows that you don't run on Tampa

225
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: and was just like, all right, well we just won't

226
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: try them.

227
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

228
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 3: So like I think that that's kind of a blip

229
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 3: on the radar type thing, like Tampa's run events is

230
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 3: just too tough. So I start those two plus Gibson

231
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: over Edwards d Lairs, who I think has the worst

232
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: matchup of the group.

233
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: Who what see you?

234
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think Lockett and Woods are the receivers that

235
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 2: stand out. We want guys in those NFC West matchups

236
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: because there's gonna be some real shootout potential there. So

237
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: as long as they're healthy, you definitely want them in.

238
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 2: Lockett's the sort of guy that can be doing nothing

239
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 2: like literally zero catches and then catch an eighty r

240
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: touchdown on any play whenever, you know, whenever Russ decides

241
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 2: to just chuck one of those moonballs up. So I

242
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: think they're the easy plays. I agree with Damian Harris too.

243
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: I think this is a spot where he could get

244
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: maybe a breakout game. I remember watching back week one,

245
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: and I had not thought too highly of Damion Harris

246
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: coming in the season, and I thought he was a

247
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: really impressive runner in that game. He was hitting the

248
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: hole well, he was getting into good lanes. Their offensive

249
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: line hasn't held up so well lately, and then they're

250
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: not running as much. But this is a spot for

251
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: Harris against the Texan where the Patriots, like, we know

252
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: what Belichick does in these games when he's like, yeah,

253
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: we're gonna win this game, We're just gonna We're just

254
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 2: gonna run the ball, short passes, play defense, and get

255
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: out of here with the win. Belichick dominates these rookie

256
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and that means lots of running and it's a

257
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 2: great spot for Harris against not a good run defense.

258
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 2: So I think that you know, there's a gamble with

259
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: him because you never know if he's gonna get touches

260
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: like last week, But you got to play the matchup.

261
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: You don't want to play a running back against Tampa.

262
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: We've seen Dallas did that too. They just didn't even

263
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: try to run. They didn't even you know, pretend against Tampa.

264
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: So we know that now it's all right, it's a

265
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: different week. You gotta have a short memory and fantasy,

266
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: so I agree. Damien Harris is the other one that

267
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: stood out in there, so I look for him to

268
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 2: have a big game this week.

269
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

270
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: Whatever text the Texans point total is, I'm going under.

271
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: It could be seven.

272
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 3: In a minder, Phil Belichick is probably just gonna shut

273
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 3: them out, So fair point.

274
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: I certainly like that. In terms of like game script, hit.

275
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: Me with all right, we've got a question from Josh.

276
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: We're going a dynasty question here, So would you trade

277
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman and next year's first pick in the second round?

278
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: So two point h one for Chase Claypool. And he

279
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: adds he has a whole lot of picks here. He

280
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 2: has four first rounders next year and six first rounders

281
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three. That is a good rebuild right there.

282
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: So he says, losing the two, I don't care. I

283
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: just want the better player. So what do you think,

284
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: Pittman or Claypool.

285
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a whole lot of picks. Congrats.

286
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: I assume you've been losing for a number of years,

287
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 3: but no great, great rebolt build. I think very impressive.

288
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, in terms of comparing Claypool to Pittman, I'm

289
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 3: definitely going Pittman. He's having a low key, nice breakout

290
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 3: season in spite.

291
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: Of some shaky quarterback play.

292
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: Has seen at least eight targets in three of four

293
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 3: games this year, and he was having a good rookie

294
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: campaign last.

295
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Year before the injury.

296
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: I think he's one of those guys like he's kind

297
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: of like in that t Higgins group that like just

298
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 3: totally got forgotten about because they like didn't finish the season.

299
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: But they were doing well.

300
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 3: I think he is a very bright future, especially if

301
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: the Colts make an upgrade at quarterback soon. As far

302
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: as Claypool goes, we just talked about him. There's no

303
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: denying he's talented. That he's been having some a little

304
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: bit of bad catch syndrome, but he's always kind of

305
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 3: been that boomer Bus guy who's stealing a significant lower

306
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: with Ben Roethlisberger now just not being able to throw

307
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,119
Speaker 3: it downfield.

308
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

309
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: I mean even when he's healthy, like and he's not

310
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: healthy right now, he's pretty much unplayable. I think better

311
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: days are ahead for him, but that's probably next year,

312
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: Like that's when whenever the Steelers decide to make up

313
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: like to try to get another quarterback. I don't know

314
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: if that's that could be this season, Like I don't know,

315
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: but like until that point, until I see who's there,

316
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 3: Like what if they get a rookie and you know

317
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 3: it's that limits his potential, So too much uncertainty.

318
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: I am going Pittman. What about you?

319
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I definitely like Pittman better here. I

320
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 2: think I'd rather just have Pittman straight up than Claypool

321
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: because he definitely has been breaking out a little bit.

322
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz loves to lock onto one favorite receiver and

323
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: then just go back to him often, and Pittman is

324
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: kind of the guy there. You know, t Y Hilton

325
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 2: is out and there just aren't many other options. So

326
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Wentz loves tight ends, but Pittman is the receiver that's

327
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: gonna have the big games. And remember that division. Which

328
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: division do you want to be playing your games against

329
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: Baltimore and Cleveland and even Cincinnati's defense has been very

330
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: good this year, or Tennessee and Houston and Jacksonville. Pretty

331
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 2: easy question on that one. So I'm not even sure

332
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: that Claypool is the better long term value because we

333
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: don't know what Pittsburgh's quarterback will be It's not going

334
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: to be a big ben. We know that it's already

335
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: not really, but they don't have there's nobody waiting in

336
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: the wings, you know. So maybe it's a veteran. Maybe

337
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 2: they draft a rookie, but that's not necessarily good. You know,

338
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: look at the rookie quarterbacks this year. We're not exactly

339
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: lining up to start all their receivers either, so I

340
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: think they'll play. Here is to keep Pittman. You've got

341
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: ten picks first rounders the next couple of years, start

342
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: pooning up, like put Pittman and add in two picks,

343
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 2: three picks, and make your target a little higher claypool

344
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 2: not high enough target. Go get somebody really good. Blow

345
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: someone away with that like Pittman plus three picks for

346
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: whoever you know, top Yeah, exactly, Like, go get a

347
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: top five or ten receiver and use those picks for

348
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: something really good.

349
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: Totally totally agree. This situation in Pittsburgh is not great.

350
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: I am going to say that Deontay Johnson is the

351
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: only startuble receiver in that team.

352
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: All right, let us move on to question three.

353
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: All right, Brian, right, would you rather have Kenny Gainwell

354
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: over Tony Pollard in a redraft.

355
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Yes, it is really close by the way, Kenny Gainwell.

356
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: I literally posted one of those like Bernie memes that like,

357
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: I am once again asking you to pick up Cannon

358
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: Gainwell because this has been like four weeks in a

359
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: row that I've been on the Gainwell train, like okay,

360
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: So for week five, like the immediate term, I probably

361
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: put Pollard over Gainwell, but I think Gainwell ends.

362
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Up outscoring Pollard.

363
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 3: Rested season, the Eagles running back situation is trending towards

364
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 3: a split backfield with Miles Sanders. He hasn't looked great.

365
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 3: I mean, he recorded seven carries for thirteen yards, which

366
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: is absolutely abysmal, caught three passes for thirty four yards.

367
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: But Gainwell had three carries for thirty one yards and

368
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: a touchdown and caught six of eight targets for fifty

369
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: eight yards. I love his usage in the passing game.

370
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: It's really exciting.

371
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: Pollard has some standalone value, like we've seen him be

372
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: useful even when Ezekiel Elliott isn't hurt. But much to

373
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 3: the zero R Beer's dismay, he's being out touched by

374
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 3: Ezekiel Elliott forty five to seventy one this season. I

375
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: think he does need an injury to Elliott to become

376
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 3: the alpha in this offense, while Gainwell could probably just

377
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: do that on his own by outperforming Miles Sanders.

378
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: So I got to go the other way on this one.

379
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: But I don't disagree with anything you said. I think

380
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,479
Speaker 2: it's just a different sort of theory on how I

381
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: play fantasy is. I just I like to a lot

382
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 2: more aggressive And to me, if you're at a spot

383
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: where you are going to be relying on Kenny Gainwell,

384
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: like weekly or close to weekly, you've already lost the battle.

385
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Like Gainwell is not going to save your fantasy season.

386
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard could save your fantasy season if things work

387
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: out right. I agree that from week to week, Gainwell

388
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 2: is probably going to be a little bit better, certainly

389
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 2: a higher floor on any given week. Pollard might just

390
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 2: do nothing, But Pollard has been PFF Pro Football focuses

391
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: number one most efficient running back for the season. Dallas's

392
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: offensive line looks really good again. Zeke has looked good,

393
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: but it's looked good because that line has been so good.

394
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: Pollard is catching some passes, so that helps a little bit.

395
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: If a number one running back went down and then

396
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 2: the phil and had to take their spot. Is there

397
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 2: any person, any handcuff in the league you'd rather have

398
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: than Tony Pollard. He's got to be number one, right.

399
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: No, He's definitely number one.

400
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: There are a lot of guys like Derrick Henry even

401
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 3: CMC who like don't have really great backups Saquon Barkley

402
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 3: another day, and like, there are just a number of

403
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: guys that just don't have.

404
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: Like a good another option.

405
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, I think he's definitely the most

406
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: valuable insurance policy.

407
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think I would just rather have the

408
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: guy who, at any given moment than any play, might

409
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: immediately be a top five running back rather than like,

410
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what Gainwell's upside is, even if he

411
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 2: starts to get half of the carries in an offense

412
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: that's not very good in a team that probably isn't

413
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: trending to be very good. So for me, the way

414
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 2: that I play, I would rather have Pollard and have

415
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: the upside and hope to see, you know, if Zeke

416
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: goes down the next few weeks for a longer term injury.

417
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: Pollard is the sort of guy that wins your league

418
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: for you, So I'd much rather have that than gainwell,

419
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: but that's just a rather ol the dice than played

420
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: safer from me, fair enough.

421
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: I think it also just depends on like who you

422
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: have in your roster, if you have to start with

423
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: them right now, like it. I mean, like you said,

424
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: if you're in that position, you may have lost the

425
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: battle already, but think that way.

426
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. Good, good thoughts, Brian, Good thoughts. All right, let's

427
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 2: go to question number four from at osprey Rob. He writes,

428
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: what do you suggest I do with George Kittle full

429
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: PPR tight end flex eligibility, not much on waivers, and

430
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't have a backup? So what do we do

431
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: with Kittle?

432
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: Pray? I don't know.

433
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 3: No, I mean, yeah, light light the candles, do some

434
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: dances or whatever to the gods.

435
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: But no, honestly like it. Yeah, it's been really tough,

436
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: but like, what are you supposed to do? You're supposed

437
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: to treat him.

438
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 3: Right now when his value has had its absolutely dear,

439
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta wait it out.

440
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: The good news is.

441
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: That he said he's tight end eleven through four weeks,

442
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: which like, yeah, that's not returning on investment, given.

443
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: You probably drafted him at like tight end two or

444
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: tight end three. But it's also like not Kyle Pits, Like,

445
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: it's not.

446
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: It's not that situation, So count yourself lucky some of

447
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: us drafted Kyle Pits Like no, But seriously, I think

448
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: better days are ahead. I like, it doesn't matter that

449
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 3: Devosmula is popping off. Like still, If you ask me

450
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 3: five weeks into the season, who do I trust on

451
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers the most, It's still Kittle. It's

452
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 3: always going to be Kittle. So I think that I

453
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 3: would probably try to grab someone off waivers though, just

454
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 3: to have like some kind of backup. I know you

455
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: said there's not much on waivers, so I'm going to

456
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: assume Dawson Knox and Dalton Schultz are not there. Maybe

457
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 3: take a look at Max Williams and Tyler Conklin, both

458
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: of which were widely available going into this waiver cycle.

459
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm not starting either of them over kill right now,

460
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 3: but it might be nice to have, especially since Kittle

461
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 3: has a speckled injury history.

462
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're just riding Kittle onto the ground

463
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 2: at this point. You don't really have much option. You

464
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: can't trade them, You're not going to get much. I

465
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 2: certainly don't want to be playing, you know, a Conklin

466
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: or someone like that. I'm not even really a big

467
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 2: fan of wasting a ROSTERSP on a second tight Dennis.

468
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 2: The whole point of drafting Kittle that high is that

469
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: you were supposed to, you know, set it and forget it,

470
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 2: just go on with your life. So you just got

471
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: to forget it. You've had a couple of rough weeks,

472
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: You've had four rough weeks, but it can get better.

473
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: Maybe Trey Lance gets in the lineup, and I think

474
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: that would help Kittle because that seems like the sort

475
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 2: of target that a rookie quarterback would lock onto someone

476
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 2: short in the short routes. I think you just have

477
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 2: to write it out and if you are out on Kittle,

478
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: that's fine, but you still have to wait for one

479
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: good week and then trade after that. You can't do

480
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: it now.

481
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, I mean tight end is absolutely a house Gabe.

482
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: I posted about like the top seven tight ends last week,

483
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: which were like c j Uzoma, Moli Cox, Max Williams,

484
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: like just as we all predicted.

485
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it's like where we're just taking names like

486
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: off of the maddened simulation. Now it's like, oh this, yeah,

487
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: this is a name that's a tight end. Let's leave

488
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: him be a top five guy this week.

489
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 3: Next up here on the Fantasy Flex is our Elite

490
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 3: Entry segment, where we will dive into the price fix

491
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: out to build some entries. I'm going to identify some markets.

492
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: I like, you build your own price fixed entries and

493
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: all of us have a little fun and make some money.

494
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 3: So today we are going to look at Thursday night

495
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: plays for week five on prize packs as the Rams

496
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 3: go on the road to Seattle to try to bounce

497
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: back from their first loss. I am like, we've already

498
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: talked about this game now, like at nauseum, but I'm

499
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 3: very excited about it. I think it'll just I mean,

500
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 3: it's like an exciting fantasy game because I don't think

501
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: that Seattle's defense gets a lot of flak, but the

502
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 3: Rams defense hasn't looked too much better either, so I

503
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: think there's gonna be a lot of points. So I'll

504
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 3: just preface this by saying that all of these props

505
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: are all Rams props, and they're all.

506
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: Over so let's go. I know, all right, So.

507
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 3: The first one I like is Matt Stafford over two

508
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: hundred ninety nine and a half passing yards. I know

509
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: that's a huge number, but Seattle's defense ranks fifth worst

510
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL in terms of passing yards allowed per

511
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 3: game at two ninety two and a half.

512
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: They have faced good teams so far.

513
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 3: The Colts, Titans, Vikings, and forty nine Ers, but the

514
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 3: Rams will be their best offense and certainly best.

515
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: Quarterback they've faced all year.

516
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 3: Stafford is averaging three hundred and five and a half

517
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: passing yards per game this year, going against much tougher

518
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 3: defenses He's faced the Bears, Colts, Bucks, and Cardinals. His

519
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: entire arsenal of weapons is healthy. I can definitely see

520
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: him flowing the doors off of Seattle and passing for

521
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: over three hundred yards.

522
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that is too rich for your blood?

523
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: Definitely not too rich. I think Stafford's gonna have a

524
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: big game, so I definitely would want you know all

525
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: in on Rams over is Stafford is a good place

526
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: to start. I think that he is still kind of

527
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: in the fringe MVP race even despite last week's game,

528
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 2: so this should be a good spot for him to

529
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: get some numbers.

530
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: He is remains the most underrated quarterback in the NFL

531
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: for me. So definitely a good get right situation for

532
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 3: him after a somewhat off game. So next play, like

533
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: is Cooper Cup over eighty four and a half receiving yards,

534
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: Like this could be one hundred and I'd.

535
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: Like, no, probably not one hundred.

536
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 3: But the Cup Stafford connection has been ridiculous this season,

537
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 3: Like it seemed like for a while the Cup was

538
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: the only receiver, only pass cutcher on the whole Gills.

539
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: He has been averaging and whopping eleven and a half

540
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 3: targets per game. Sort of slow game against the Cardinals,

541
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 3: but like they just seem to not be to get

542
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: anything working. He caught five of thirteen, which is terrible

543
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: for sixty four yards, zero touchdowns, but he had scored

544
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: five times in the previous three weeks I think, I mean, he's.

545
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: Gone well over those number in three or four games

546
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: this year.

547
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: I definitely see him doing it against this pass defense.

548
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: Like if it's going to happen, it's going to happen

549
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks.

550
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think like part of the strategy here

551
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: is you want to stack things together that if one happens,

552
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: the other one does too. So if Stafford has a

553
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 2: big game, you better believe Cup's going to be getting

554
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 2: some of those catches too, so you know he definitely

555
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: locks on to him. He missed Cup for two or

556
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: three passes last week that normally he'd connect with over

557
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 2: through Cup on what we should have been a touchdown

558
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: what was a touchdown all the other weeks. So I

559
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: think if you're wanting to trade per Cup, this is

560
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: your window. You may not get too many more windows,

561
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: but I love the over here awesome.

562
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 3: The next one that I like is Darryl Henderson over

563
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half Fantasy points. Just keep in mind

564
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 3: this is full PPR, so I think that is important,

565
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: especially since has been more involved in the passing game

566
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: than I think previously. So Seattle ranks did last and

567
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: rushing yards allowed per game with one hundred and fifty

568
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 3: two yards bodes well for all the Rams running backs. Yeah,

569
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: I'm a little concerned about how they're going to use

570
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 3: Sony Michelle with Henderson, but Henderson has had a quietly

571
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: good season. He scored in both of the first games,

572
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: missed Week three, then came back and posted fourteen carries

573
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: for eighty nine yards plus five cashes for twenty seven yards.

574
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: Seattle's allowing the.

575
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 3: Third most fantasy points to running backs, so I really

576
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: like him to go over the fourteen and a half.

577
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: I know you don't like this one as much.

578
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think what you like about Henderson

579
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: is that Sony Michelle had that really tough fumble last week.

580
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: Arizona had just scored a touchdown and so then they

581
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 2: get the ball back handed off to Michelle off of

582
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: a touchback and then he immediately fumbles and we did

583
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: not see a lot of them again after that, and

584
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: Cardinals scored again and kind of put that one away.

585
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 2: So it's a good spot to fade Sony Michelle because

586
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: he's probably in the dog house, and so it's a

587
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: good chance for had to get a few extra catches.

588
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: I love it, all right.

589
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: The last one that I like is Tyler Higby over

590
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 3: three and a half catches. Yeah, I know, like I said,

591
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: it's another Rams over, but Higbee has actually played a

592
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: pretty significant role in this offense.

593
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: I think Matt Stafford likes his tight ends.

594
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 3: He's had one game that was pretty bad, it was

595
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: like one catch against the Colts, but he's had at

596
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: least four catches in every other game this year, So

597
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 3: I think that he's just a guy that Stafford feels

598
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 3: comfortable throwing too. He's not Cooper Cup, but like who

599
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 3: could be Cooper Cup for him? But you know, I

600
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: think that Stafford does spread it around. There's a lot

601
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: of throwing. It's a high volume passing offense. So I

602
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: do like him to get at least four catches.

603
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Cooper Cup is like the emoji with

604
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 2: the hard eyes over the top of it. But you know,

605
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 2: I think Higby is a solid smiling emoji. And if

606
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 2: if we're going to stack the Rams, if Stafford's gonna

607
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 2: have a big game and throw it around a lot,

608
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: Higby should be getting a few catches. So if you're

609
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 2: going going in, go all in. So we're all in

610
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 2: on the Rams, Let's take the overs, let's let's run

611
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: up the score.

612
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: Love it all right, So we are all in.

613
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 3: That is it for our lea entry for Thursday Night

614
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,199

00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: and a half receiving yards, Darryl Henderson over fourteen and

617
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: a half fantasy points, and Tyler.

Speaker 1: Higbee over three and a half catches.

619
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 3: As a reminder, you can mix and match fantasy points

620
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320

Speaker 3: nimble too, luck.

623
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:32,080

631
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: All right, so question number five comes from Tyler. This

632
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: is a two parter, so let's do just part one

633
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: first for Flex Spot this week, Brown Josh Jacobs or

634
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: Corderio Patterson and thoughts on Patterson going forward.

635
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: All right, So, without knowing the scoring, I am going

636
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 3: to lean Patterson in any format with points per reception

637
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 3: half or full.

638
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: I like Brown a lot.

639
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he did have that crazy like video game

640
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 3: like catch in last in week four. But Rashad Daman

641
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: could be coming back as soon as this week. INDI's

642
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: past defense has been pretty good this year. I think

643
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 3: he's a swing for the fences type guys. So like,

644
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: if you happen to think like you're gonna lose, like

645
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: if you're way beyard, like your team is way worse

646
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 3: than the other team, I could totally see you putting

647
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 3: him in instead. I don't hate it, like I said,

648
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: but I like Patterson more in terms of Jacob's he

649
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 3: might get the slight edge and standard leagues, but like

650
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: I said, I mean to go into Patterson rather. He's

651
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: just been on fire this season. It's kind of a

652
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 3: I did not have this on my bingo card of

653
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 3: like breakout candidates. I don't know if you did, Like

654
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: do you want a victory lop this moment or I'm serious,

655
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 3: Like I don't know who had like a Corderio Patterson

656
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 3: breakout season, especially with Arthur Smith, who I feel like

657
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 3: is not the guy that you just like expect to

658
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: be super crafty with like offensive schemes like we literally

659
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: saw Derrick Henry run it like fifty times a game

660
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 3: and have no catches, so you know, I mean, it's

661
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: kind of crazy. Eighty two yards in each of the

662
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: last two games through the air. He scored five times

663
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 3: in the last three games, with three in the last game.

664
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: I'm sky high on him moving forward, even against the Jets,

665
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 3: who have managed to keep their games pretty low scoring.

666
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta say, as a Vikings fan, I'm not

667
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: appreciating this Cordero Patterson breakout. I mean, it was like

668
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: a decade ago that my Vikings you know, spent such

669
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: a high pick on him, and I thought I had

670
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: moved on. I thought I was okay, And now here

671
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 2: he is putting out the numbers that he was all

672
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: supposed to do for Minnesota years ago. Look, I was

673
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: big on Mike Davis this year. That was one of

674
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: the big sleepers, and you can't really cut him yet

675
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: because you put a high pick on him. Probably, but

676
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 2: Davis has really been marginalized because Patterson continues to do

677
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: so well. So I think you just have to ride

678
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: the hot hand. I don't know how long I believe

679
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 2: it will last. You know, he's not a running back.

680
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: He's a receiver, so he's gonna take a hit or

681
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: two at some point, and I'm not sure that he's

682
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 2: going to get back up from that wrong hit when

683
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: it comes. But for now, while he's doing this while

684
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 2: he's catching three touchdowns a week. You got to play Patterson,

685
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: so I like him. Tyler's second half of this question

686
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: of the following, who would you most want to sell

687
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: on Joe Mixon, Austin Eckeler, DeAndre Swift, Stefan Diggs or

688
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley.

689
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Like this this list is really tough

690
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: because I would say Digs in Ridley, like in mix

691
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: in to an extent too, Like you're probably selling low

692
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: on them at this point, Like for sure Ridley digs

693
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 3: a little bit, and then mix in if you're selling

694
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: someone who's hurt at the time, like you know, you're

695
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: not going to get the same value because there's especially

696
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: that uncertainty of what they're going to look like when

697
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 3: they do come back, if they do come back, I

698
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: mean mix and though could play this week, so it's.

699
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: Really like not cut and dry.

700
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 3: And then Eckler and Swift, I mean they're just they're

701
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 3: belkows and that is really hard to come by. So

702
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, Maybe see what you can get for

703
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 3: Digs or Ridley, preferable preferably Ridley, because I am okay

704
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: deleveraging myself from the Falcons.

705
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say, don't trade Digs right now. They're

706
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: playing the Chiefs this week. Never trade a player right

707
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 2: before they've played the Chiefs. Trade them after they've played

708
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: the Chiefs if you want to make your move. So

709
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I would keep Digs. Buffalo

710
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,479
Speaker 2: will be fine. They're not having to do too much

711
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: right now with the defense just shutting everyone out, but

712
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: that's going to rebalance in time. Eckler is my guy

713
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 2: that was when my big sleepers coming to the year. Well,

714
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: not really a sleeper, but a league winner type guy

715
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 2: for me, so I wouldn't want to move him for me.

716
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: Ridley is a guy I was never super high on.

717
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: So if you get a chance to sell high after

718
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 2: a big game, then yeah, like you said, I might

719
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: be happy to get out of Atlanta's way. And Detroit

720
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: running backs just you know, since Barry Sanders nothing, so

721
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: I've never been a Detroit running back guy. So I

722
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: know Swift has been doing well. I just don't believe

723
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 2: in Detroit running back, So I would rather get out

724
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: of that for someone that I like a little better,

725
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 2: even though I know that he's been putting up some numbers.

726
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, if there's a running back that I'm moving. It's

727
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: swift of those two for sure, So I agree with

728
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 3: you on that.

729
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: All right, we've got another one of our Ryan questions.

730
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 2: Or maybe Ryan is just back for a second question.

731
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 2: Ryan's yeah, okay, Well they're probably more than one Ryan

732
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: out there. Maybe this is Matt Ryan. Maybe he's writing

733
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 2: out Matt.

734
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: Ryan is asking me for fantasy advice.

735
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: Love to say, Matt Ryan should not ask you for

736
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: fantasy advice because you are not a big fan of

737
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan and the Falcons right now, you may not

738
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 2: give him the kindest advice. I think Ryan should.

739
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: Focus on himself getting Calvin Ridley the.

740
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: Baltimore that's the and Kyle Pitts I think too for you.

741
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: All Right, this Ryan writes, why is your outlook on

742
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 2: the Denver offense with Drew Locke at quarterback? I have

743
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton in one league?

744
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really bad. I mean it's it's.

745
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 2: We're really sorry for you, Ryan. This is not good

746
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 2: news for you.

747
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 3: It's especially bad for Ston like of the pass catchers,

748
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 3: because he just seems to not have the best sort

749
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 3: of relationship with Jerry Judie out He's supposed to be

750
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 3: the alpha in this offense. That he caught three of

751
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 3: eight passes for forty seven yards, and he actually led

752
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 3: the team in receiving, so like that is a testament

753
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: to how bad that passing attack was. Tim Patrick was

754
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: held with three catches on six targets for thirty nine yards,

755
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 3: so all around unimpressive. Noah Fan did end up scoring,

756
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 3: but he scored from Teddy Bridgewater, So I don't know

757
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 3: that said, I don't want to panic quite yet because

758
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: according to Bronco's inside Our Benjamin Alright and friend of

759
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 3: the podcast, there is internal optimism that Bridgewater can start

760
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 3: on Sunday. He's probably not going to start all week,

761
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: Like he actually can't be a full participant because he's in.

762
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: The protocol until Friday. So I would definitely keep an

763
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: eye on that.

764
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: Like if he please, I think that Sutton could put

765
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: up wide receiver two numbers.

766
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't, I I think it's more of.

767
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 3: A flex dart throw with Lock, what about what do

768
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 3: you think about the Broncos with Lock?

769
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 2: Let's stick with the emoji theme and just go with

770
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 2: poop emoji on this. I don't want any part of it.

771
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 2: I don't want to bet on Denver. I don't want

772
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: anything to do with Drew Lock. It's not great, So

773
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Teddy. Look, all that we learned about Drew

774
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: Lock last week is we are reminded of why Denver

775
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: made the right choice starting Teddy Bridgewater. So Teddy, get healthy,

776
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 2: get back in the lineup, take your time. If you

777
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: need to see see and Buddy.

778
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: Love app see it.

779
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Socks fan twenty eight. Congrats on the

780
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,479
Speaker 2: big win last night. Or if you're a Chicago fan

781
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: and uh no, I'm a Cubs fan, sud I don't

782
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: like you, So slot Span twenty eight. I'm gonna assume

783
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: his name is also Ryan. What do you think of

784
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb and Mike Evans for Henry in a keeper league?

785
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: This one's tough.

786
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 3: I do really like trades who are sitting two for

787
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,959
Speaker 3: one because you were upgrading your team and it makes

788
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 3: way for another roster spot that you can add someone

789
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: that maybe has high upside or something or is a

790
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 3: longer term play. So in theory, this is great, but

791
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: I think you're giving up a lot like you're I

792
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 3: think you're selling low on Chubb and Evans, who have

793
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 3: been a little underwhelming these past weeks, like really more

794
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 3: so Chubb because he was outscored by.

795
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Hunt in the last two weeks.

796
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 3: I would like this trade much better if you sent

797
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 3: a slightly less good receiver in the package. But if

798
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 3: you happen to be really, really stronger receiver and can

799
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 3: afford to lose Evans, I think it's it's fine. Like

800
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: Henry is such a stud and its workload gives you

801
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: a really guaranteed floor. I don't see that changing like

802
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 3: year over year either. So in terms of keeper value,

803
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: he has great keeper value. Plus it doesn't hurt the

804
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 3: tractor seats he's in. Aligns with the fantasy playoffs.

805
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. I think if you are mister Socks

806
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: Fan twenty eight or miss Socks fan twenty eight, if

807
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: you are hoping to go all in and try to

808
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 2: win the league this year, then maybe I consider this

809
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: because obviously, obviously Derrick Henry is the far and away

810
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: number one running back right now. However, I am a

811
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 2: fan of history, and history says that Derrick Henry can't

812
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 2: keep doing this forever. And I said that before the season,

813
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: and I've looked very stupid for the first month because

814
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: we're handing it off to him forty five times a game,

815
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 2: He's running for hundreds of yards. He's playing Jacksonville this week,

816
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: which is a team that he's absolutely crushed in the past,

817
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 2: so probably another big week ahead for him. But history

818
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 2: says when guys hit that three hundred and seventy touches

819
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 2: wall like he did, you just don't keep doing that forever.

820
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 2: And I fear with Henry, you're getting it. The price

821
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: can't possibly be any higher. This is the absolute best

822
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 2: that he is. I hate trading for guys on that spot.

823
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: Chubb is, you know, the rocket going up, and the

824
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 2: Browns are a run team. They have a great offensive line.

825
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: There are very few guys that I would want to

826
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 2: have rather than Chubb going forward. Would I rather have

827
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: Henry this year than Chubb? Probably, though I still am

828
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: fading Henry, I'd be looking to trade him if I

829
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: had him. I definitely would rather have Chubb long term,

830
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: even without adding in Evans. So I think if you

831
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: are just desperate to go all in and risk it

832
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: for the biscuit and get Henry this year for the championship,

833
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: I can see it. But for me personally, I just

834
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: stay away from guys that have that huge of a

835
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 2: workload because I feel like the end is nigh.

836
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would get this trade like a c without

837
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: seeing the rest of Socks fans team.

838
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: Like I said, I think it's just you're giving up

839
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: too much.

840
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 3: And like you said, it is just Henry's absolute apex,

841
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: so it is not the best spot.

842
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: What do you think? Is this a Red Sox fan

843
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: or a White Sox fan.

844
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: It's a Red Sox fan because it's I'm pretty sure.

845
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: Hold on, I linked to their profile. Yeah, and they

846
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: have a that's no fun.

847
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 2: I wanted to speculate. Sorry, Sorry, congrats, congrats on your win.

848
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 2: And you know I've got one hundred and twenty to

849
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 2: one ticket on a Sox Cardinals World Series that might

850
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: already be gone by the time that you listen to

851
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: this if just don't beat the Dodgers. But you know what,

852
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: go Socks. Let's see what we can do.

853
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: No, I hope you have a miserable offseason.

854
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to our question from Jimmy. Poor

855
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: Jimmy is oh and four. He writes, why am I

856
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: oher and four? What can I do to improve? I

857
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: need help? Crying emoji. Here's my team's standard league scoring.

858
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: So quarterback he's got Kyler Murray. Well that's a good start.

859
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: Running back Ezekiel, Elliott Montgomery, Donris Swift, Cuba Hobbard. Receivers,

860
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: He's got Davonte Adams, Mike Williams, Dante Johnson, Davante Smith,

861
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: and Julio Jones. Tight end, Logan Thomas and Evan Ingram.

862
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: Kicker and defense also are present. So what do you

863
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 2: want to do with this roster? And is he buried

864
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:16,959
Speaker 2: at oh to four?

865
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 3: No, I mean, like I said before, like the there

866
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 3: is I'm not counting you out at oh to four

867
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 3: for sure, And I actually think this is a very

868
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:30,760
Speaker 3: strong team, So congrats on savvy drafting and waiver wire moves.

869
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 3: It just stinks to zero and four. But like I

870
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: have a couple teams. I have one team that's oh

871
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 3: and four right now, and it's honestly been really bad luck.

872
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: Like I don't think it's.

873
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: A I don't think it's a four and oh team,

874
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: but it like certainly does not feel like an OH

875
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 3: to four team. And this doesn't feel like an OH

876
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 3: and four team, But like it just appears that your

877
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 3: team's been hit by some pretty unfortunate injuries. David Montgomery

878
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: is out four to five weeks, though he did produce

879
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: in the last game when he did go out. Deontay

880
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 3: Johnson missed week three, Julio Jones and Logan Thomas mixed

881
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 3: to week four, and Evan Ingram missed weeks one and two.

882
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: So I mean, that's unfortunate, but there's really nothing you

883
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 3: can do about injuries. I think you're doing a number

884
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 3: of things right. I mean, you grabbed Hubbard, which tells

885
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: me you're pretty active on the waiver wire.

886
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: I think that's really.

887
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: That and making good trades are going to be Keatie

888
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 3: winning your championship. So in terms of trading, I think

889
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 3: you're really stacked at receiver. I think you could try

890
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 3: to shop one of those guys for a third running

891
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 3: back with Montgomery out, or upgrade at tight end since

892
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: you kind of have middle of the road tight end

893
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: options here. You have three really solid receivers and Adams,

894
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: Williams and Johnson for if you count Jones once he

895
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 3: comes back, and I don't think that that's necessarily a

896
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 3: long term thing. I also think positive touchdown regression will

897
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,439
Speaker 3: come for Julio and Williams. I'm not freaking out about

898
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: about one bad game that was a weird game that

899
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 3: they just wanted to keep giving the ball to Justin

900
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 3: Jack and I was so so frustrated. I was like,

901
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 3: this team hates my my fantasy team. So but yeah,

902
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 3: any one of those guys could be flipped for RB

903
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 3: twour better or potentially a better tight end if you

904
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 3: packaged one of them with like Thomas or Ingram, Like

905
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 3: you could send Thomas plus Johnson for example, maybe for

906
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 3: maybe t J. Hawkinson because he's a nice BILO candidate.

907
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: Off of two bad games. So keep your head up,

908
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 3: don't give up, and yeah, just keep listening and we

909
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 3: can give you more advice.

910
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you're you're one one away from one

911
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 2: and four and then we go from there. So I

912
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: think this is a pretty good roster. I'm trying to

913
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 2: figure out exactly how this this roster is zero and

914
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: four right now. You know, Kyler has had monster games

915
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: so far, Zeke has had a lot a good start

916
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: to the year. You know, the injuries have been tough.

917
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: But I like this roster. If I were the team

918
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: facing this roster this week, I would not be excited.

919
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: I'd be like, Okay, there are a lot of ways

920
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 2: I can lose to this team. Right here. I really

921
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: like the receiver depth on the team too. I've got

922
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: my eye on DeVante Smith. He's been looking really good

923
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 2: for the Eagles, just running good routes, getting open a lot.

924
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is locking onto him often, so I don't mind,

925
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, I like Mike Williams, He's broken out well.

926
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: The receiver depth I think on this team is the strength.

927
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: So if you, you know, if Julio gets back and

928
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 2: has a nice game and you can trade him, upgrade

929
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: your second running back, upgrade your tight end. I think

930
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: that's the move if you if you can use your

931
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 2: wide receiver's strength to your advantage and be able to

932
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: play some of those a little bit better, and don't

933
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: trade Kyler Murray, don't trade Ezekiel Elliott. You got to

934
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: hang out to the guys that are producing for you.

935
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 2: I know it can be easy if you're going for

936
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 2: to do the like one for two trades and try

937
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 2: to get a couple guys in there. I don't think

938
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 2: this lineup needs that necessary at least, Yeah, there are

939
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: guys on this team. If you get a better tight end,

940
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 2: a more reliable one, that's a good start here. But

941
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: even like Thomas and Ingram. I mean, if you don't

942
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: have one of the top guys, then I'm not sure

943
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: that that's really much worse than the other options. It's

944
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 2: a good ross. It sucks to be owned for It

945
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 2: sucks you've had all the injuries. But fantasy is hard.

946
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 2: Sometimes you lose games, and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised

947
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 2: if this is a team that you know scored the

948
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,479
Speaker 2: third most points in a week, but happen to face

949
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: the first or second. It's the breaks of head to

950
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 2: head sometimes. So you know, have you had you play

951
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 2: a lot of fancy I now, have you had teams

952
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: where you've been owing four that have redeemed themselves or

953
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 2: is this just too big a hole?

954
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: No, you can definitely definitely redeem yourself.

955
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: Like I said, I think as long as you are

956
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 3: active on the waiver wires sim for first of all,

957
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 3: side note gen z has lost their mind because there

958
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: are people that will literally comment on my waiver wire

959
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: videos on TikTok that are like, if you're playing the

960
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 3: waiver wire, you've already lost Like and I'm like, what

961
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 3: is what is your problem? Like Davian Williams is going

962
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: to be a top twenty four running back this week, Like,

963
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 3: you can definitely find people Elijah Mitchell. I mean he

964
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 3: got hurt, but like he was a guy that was

965
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 3: certainly producing. You can find people every single year, So

966
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 3: don't listen, be present on the waiver wire, and then

967
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 3: make trades. Like a lot of leagues, it's really tough

968
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 3: to trade, and so I get that a lot of people.

969
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: Just don't trade because like there's just no one.

970
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 3: Like everyone values their teams better and their players better,

971
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: so it's a little tougher. I think the way to

972
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: do it is send out a lot of trades. Don't

973
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 3: lowball people though, like too too much because it's insulting.

974
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 3: And when you're trading, like I think it's better. Sometimes

975
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 3: you get better value if it's like a bigger trade

976
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 3: with like three players or something like that, because maybe

977
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 3: it's maybe it's a matter of like you're confusing the

978
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 3: other person, But I think you can get better value

979
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 3: than just like a one for one, So certainly stay

980
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: active there and get a better kicker Young who is

981
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 3: definitely a good dude. But the Falcons offense it's been

982
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: pretty bad, So I would get a kicker from a

983
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 3: better offense.

984
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 2: That's true, So I left young who out of the question.

985
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: But yes, don't don't trade for a kicker. But there's

986
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 2: got to be someone on a waivers that you can

987
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: grab there. Yeah, don't give up I think two. Don't

988
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,399
Speaker 2: forget the one thing I complained earlier about seventeen games. Hey,

989
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 2: that's one extra week for you to try to turn

990
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: your season around and get back into the playoffs. We've

991
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: got a lot of games out there still, you know,

992
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 2: I think I think probably what are leagues a fourteen weeks?

993
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 2: So you probably can't lose too many more games. You

994
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: maybe only can lose two more games, maybe three if

995
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: you have a high point total, win some type breakers.

996
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: But you know, let's just get a couple wins, get

997
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: the first one you got to start somewhere. I do, Samantha.

998
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 2: I have one more question that just came in for

999
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 2: you from another zero to four team. Are you ready

1000
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: for one more? All right? So this says dear Samantha,

1001
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 2: I need help. My team is zero to four and

1002
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 2: going nowhere fast. My roster is in shambles, and I'm

1003
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 2: used to playing in a four team league where I

1004
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 2: can just pick anyone I want off of waivers plus

1005
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: some jag Off stole Tim Tebow in the third round,

1006
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: and you won't respond to my trade offers. My quarterback

1007
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: won't stop getting the ball the other team. My whole

1008
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 2: roster sucks. Is it like some rule where you can

1009
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 2: trade your whole roster to someone else? I hate this team.

1010
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm losing them. Also, apparently this is

1011
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 2: a keeper league. Oh, I'm sick of these losers. How

1012
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,480
Speaker 2: does that even work? Do I need to resign? Sorry,

1013
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 2: re sign them? I always forget that hyphen anyway, had

1014
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: a great feeling about Sunday, but trust me, it was

1015
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 2: not the fantasy weekend I was expecting. Now my wife

1016
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 2: and kids are on my case too. By the way,

1017
