1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, It's Monday in November twenties two. Welcome to

2
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's made your man nam

3
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: G Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio, and we've

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: got the specialists casts of douzens that help us put

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: this show on each and every week. So we are

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: almost through week twelve. We've got one more game left

7
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: to play on Monday Night. It's the Steelers and the Colts.

8
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: And now that things are coming into shape, are we

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: feeling good about our playoff chances this year? Yeah? I'm

10
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: actually having I know people on listening to the podcast

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter might not believe it, but I'm having one

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: of my better fantasy seasons ever. I'm looking not only

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs in a lot of my competitive leagues,

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: but I might I'm in play for the buy as well.

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: So I'm happy right now. Look at you. I think

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: I'm about fifty fifty in terms of making the playoffs

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: and not which you know, it's always sad to not

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: make the playoffs in the league, but it's also sort

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: of refreshing to be able to like just call you

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: have one box and just like that's one less lineup,

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: especially when we're playing as many as right, So you

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: know what, Okay, I got even heard I didn't make it,

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: But you know what, there's also one less lineup I

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: have to worry about on a week two week basis.

25
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Of course, there's still a couple of weeks left in

26
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: the fantasy regular season. We're gonna try to help you

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: as best as we can make your way into the playoffs.

28
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: And to do that, we've got our five biggest takeaways

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: of the week. Waiver wire targets, got some mad movers,

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do another round of cap or no

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: cap and hopefully we can figure out which one is which,

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: because I think the last time we sort of failed

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: at that as a as a team. Here, but let's

34
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: get started with some fantasy headlines for the Green Bay Packers.

35
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers left Sunday's game against the Eagles in the

36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: third quarter due to a rib injury. A Roger also

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: dealing with a thumb issue. Now Rogers will undergo more

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: tests on Monday, but say if he checks out fine,

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: he expects to play in Week thirteen against the Bears.

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Jordan's Love came in and didn't look bad in the

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: quarter or so that we saw him quarterback in the

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. But if Rogers does this time, do

43
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: you still trust starting someone like, say a Christian Watson

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: next week? I do. I think I'll feel a little

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: bit better about it if it's Aaron Rodgers because we

46
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: know that those two have chemistry. Plus Aaron Rodgers is

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: still last night checked a part owner of the Chicago Bears,

48
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: who they faced this week, so that's a good thing.

49
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: But even if it's Jordan's Love, the Bears defense is

50
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: allowed a ton of production across the board, and Christian

51
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: watson sixty three yard touchdown catch this week that came

52
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: with Jordan's Love, not Aaron Rodgers. So Christian Watson, who

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: who has the ability to win downfield to win we

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: saw last night after the catch, uh to be a

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: great red zone presence. I think you just start him

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: weekend and week out moving forward. I saw someone tweet

57
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: that there are really only two outcomes to a Christian

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: Watson targets, either a drop or a touchdown, like there's

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: really nothing in between, and that seemed to be the

60
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: case last night. So I do think that the way

61
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: they're using him, the way he's producing, there was still

62
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: some upside there, even if it's Jordan's Love starting at quarterback.

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: The rest of the Packer pass catchers, Yeah, it sort

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: of remains to be seen out in Jacksonville, Travis e

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: t N left Sunday's game against the Ravens in the

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: first quarter with a foot injury. Now on Monday, head

67
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson said e t N was clear to

68
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: return to the game yesterday, but that the team decided

69
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: to hold him out in order to not risk anything further.

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: Team was planning to do more tests, but e t

71
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: N said he's fine, and the Jaguars agreed. So I

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: guess this is a long way of saying that if

73
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: you were going to load up and spend a whole

74
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: bunch of fab on like Jamchael Hasty or Darrell Henderson,

75
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: I guess don't do that now, right, Yeah, I wouldn't

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: be spending a ton of fab to get them on

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: my roster, but I do think it's a good idea

78
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: to pick them up just in case, especially if you

79
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: either have Travis Etian or you're just a team that's

80
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: been in need of running backs. Because my takeaway from

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: this yesterday was, like Doug Peterson did the right thing. Uh,

82
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson knows that the Jaguars are not competing this season,

83
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: and he knows that everything is about three and beyond

84
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: and the rest of this season is seeing what they

85
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: have in their young players. That they're taking this approach

86
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: with Travis CTN in a game like this, if he

87
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: is to get banged up again, who's to say they

88
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: don't take this approach again, or maybe tell him like, hey,

89
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: we know how great you are, sit down for a

90
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, or maybe they just say, hey, we

91
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: don't want to give you this many touches each week.

92
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: So I think it's smart to have a Hasty or

93
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: a Henderson for very cheap, just on the back of

94
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 1: your bench. Now. I know there are a lot of

95
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: fantasy managers who don't necessarily share your level headed view

96
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: about the Jaguars and their prospects and how they're they're

97
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: they're handling their players, But you're right, the Jags aren't

98
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: really going anyway. There's no reason to force the issue.

99
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: I know it seemed a lot more serious because he

100
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: left so early and they decided to not bring him back.

101
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Plus they actually won the game, so it also makes

102
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: it really hard to criticize their actions when they figured

103
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: out how to come from behind and pull out a

104
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: win against the Ravens. So, uh, we'll see what happens

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: this week if E. T n plays and he's back

106
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: in your lineup. But like Florio said, maybe go out

107
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: and get some insurance just in case something like this

108
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: happens again. More running back news, Michael Carter did not

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: return after sustaining an ankle injury in the third quarter

110
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: against the bar James Robinson was also a healthy scratch

111
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: from yesterday's game. Now as we are recording this show,

112
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: we don't know exactly what the status of Carter is

113
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: going to be, still waiting on updates there. But if

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: Carter does miss time, which of the Jets backs, because

115
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of them get in there, which

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: one do you think is the most interesting for fantasy managers?

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Man I, I I didn't know who this player was at

118
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: this time yesterday. Zonovan Knights on the fantasy app is

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Bam Knight on our fantasy app. If you need to

120
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: search for him to pick him up. But they made

121
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: James Robinson a healthy scratch yesterday. Uh, and then in

122
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: a game with Michael Carter only played of the snaps.

123
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: It wasn't Ty Johnson leading the way. It was Zonovan Knight,

124
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: who played of the snaps, led the way with fourteen

125
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: carries and led this backfield with three targets. He went

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: for over a hundred yards. Ty Johnson had a good

127
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: game as well, going for seventy eight yards. I think

128
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Johnson is the deeper pick up here, but Night, in

129
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: a game where they were clearly searching for running backs,

130
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: they felt confident enough to keep feeding him the ball.

131
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: So if Michael Carter missed his time again, this isn't

132
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: a situation now where I'm being very bullish and I'm

133
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: gonna spend a bunch of fab or be super aggressive

134
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: to get them. But I think Zonovian Knight is worth

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: picking up right now. Zonovan. I don't know it's better

136
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: Zonovan or Bam, because both of those are pretty good,

137
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: But you're right Yesterday, I'm scrolling through the box score

138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: is just kind of keeping up with what's happening, and

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, who the f is Zonovian Night? No idea,

140
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: but he might be a name to keep out on

141
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: the waiver wire just in case, and and hopefully we

142
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: find out more about Michael Carter at some point on

143
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Monday or maybe early on Tuesday, so you can sort

144
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: of make your waiver claims appropriately. Darnell Mooney is believed

145
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: to have suffered a season ending ankle injury on Sunday

146
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: against the Jets. Now, there hasn't been a whole lot

147
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: to get excited about in terms of Bears pass catchers

148
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: beyond sa Mooney and Cole commit As you're looking sort

149
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: of across the fantasy landscape if people need a waiver

150
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: wire option, and we'll get to it in depth maybe

151
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: a little bit later in the show. But anybody immediately

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,239
Speaker 1: who jumps out that she was a waiver wire option

153
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: at receiver, Uh, If anyone does, it's Chase Claypool. He

154
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: did win downfield. He had a really nice catch on

155
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardener, which is very impressive giving how well Gardner

156
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: has played this year. But this is even if Claypool

157
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: is the lead receiver here, it's the same thing as

158
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: it is with Darnel Mooney. You're hoping for a big play,

159
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: You're hoping for a touchdown. Otherwise the floor is pretty

160
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: low on the team that we know is going to

161
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: run the ball a bunch. And also on a team

162
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: that we don't know if we're gonna see their starting

163
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: quarterback again or when we will that. That's the big

164
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: question too, is when will we see Justin Fields again.

165
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: There was that weird sort of three card Monty thing

166
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: they were doing with Trevor Simeon and Nathan Peterman and

167
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna start and what have you. So I am

168
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of hands off with Bears pass catchers

169
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm still in on David Montgomery. Beyond that,

170
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I would rather look somewhere else if I need wide

171
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: receiver help at this point in the season. So those

172
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: are some early headline We also have some of our

173
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: own personal, I guess editorials. Here are five biggest takeaways

174
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: from Sunday. We always crowdsource between the two of us,

175
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: So for you, what is the first thing you learned

176
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: from what you saw yesterday? I think Garrett Wilson can

177
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: be started as long as Zach Wilson is not. Uh

178
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: and and it's sad to say that that we got

179
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: to this point, but in the first three games of

180
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: the season, Zach Wilson low point low point was nine

181
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: point two. Fantasy points is high was thirty And then

182
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: you look at all the games in between that Zach

183
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: Wilson played. He twice twice top double digits, and then

184
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: up Zach Wilson sits twenty six Fantasy points. Again, Like,

185
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: there's that high ceiling from Garrett Wilson that that we

186
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: saw early in the year, and it's unfortunate for Zach

187
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Wilson that it's come to this, but it's not even

188
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: the first time. Like I found a tweet of mine

189
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: from last year that said all Elijah More needed to

190
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 1: be good was for Zach Wilson to not be starting.

191
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: So that's two years in a row that his top

192
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: wade receiver gets better when Zach Wilson sits. It's a

193
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: tough pill for Zach Wilson this all, but it is

194
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: exactly what you want if you have Garrett Wilson tough scene. Indeed,

195
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: I know that Jay Glazer reported on Sunday that the

196
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 1: Jets are going to keep benching Wilson until he gains confidence,

197
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,359
Speaker 1: which sort of seems counterproductive. That means, you know, benchings

198
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: will continue until morale improves. We'll see what happens, but

199
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: it's nice to see Garrett Wilson Elijah More have some value.

200
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: So from a current Jets quarterback to a former Jets quarterback.

201
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has breathed some life. He has revived d J. Moore.

202
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 1: I know it's only been one start, but I'm willing

203
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to go out and say that More had his second

204
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: one hundred yard game of the season with Donald starting

205
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback, and this was against a Broncos defense that

206
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: we have been fearing all year long. It just seems

207
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: that two of them have a connection. And you go

208
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: back to last year where Donald Donald was starting and

209
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: playing for the Panthers. More was averaging about twenty receiving

210
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: yards more per game. He was averaging about three and

211
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: a half more Fantasy points per game. Those are significant numbers,

212
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: and so it just seems like Donald and More have

213
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: a connection. It's been a fresh rading year if you've

214
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: been starting DJ Moore without a doubt, but it does

215
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: seem like having Sam Donald back there does make him

216
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more viable. We're not starting Donald, but

217
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: it's nice to think we can trust DJ Moore a

218
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: little bit now. Yeah, I think Donald should start selling

219
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: shirts that say, like, bleep it, d J. Moore is

220
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: down there somewhere because he was just heaven the ball

221
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: downfield and putting it up there for DJ Moore? And

222
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: who who knew Dj Moore can actually make plays if

223
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: you give him a chance. Wild, It's a wild, wild thought.

224
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: Never would have imagined it. Okay, so we go from

225
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: an old USC quarterback to you learning something about an

226
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: old USC wide receiver. Yeah, Juju Smith Schuster reminded us

227
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: that he comes with a low floor. And if you remember,

228
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the year, Juju was struggling to

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the point where, like many people were wondering if they

230
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: should drop him, let alone bench him, because there was

231
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of games with single digit Fantasy points in

232
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: a row. Then he had this hot stretch in the

233
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: middle where he had three weeks in a row with

234
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: at least eighteen Fantasy points, two of them going over

235
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: twenty two Fantasy points. Then he got hurt, missed the game,

236
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: came back at just six point eight Fantasy points yesterday.

237
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: I know he was kind of limited, but this was

238
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: still a game where Patrick Mahomes threw the ball a

239
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: bunch like. He threw the ball forty two times, which

240
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: surprised me against this RAMS defense, I thought they would

241
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: just run the ball all game. Forty two throws, just

242
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: three targets for juju. Smith Schuster that that's concerning. And

243
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: what was even worse was that he didn't really play

244
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: a ton of snaps. And this was in a week

245
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: when he wasn't on the injury report. If you know,

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: if he had come into the week questionable, we didn't

247
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: know what his status was, that sort of would have

248
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: made sense. It seemed like everything was right, but he

249
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: just wasn't on the field a lot, didn't get a

250
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: whole lot of targets that it's frustrated. Do you think

251
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: it was a case of like, we're gonna save juju

252
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: for next week against the Bengals or is this something

253
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't know, I don't know how

254
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: to feel about. I'm gonna say that they just felt like,

255
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: maybe we don't need a lot of juju this week.

256
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: You know, the Rams are just falling apart, you know,

257
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: so like they also go out and lose Allen Robinson

258
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: at the end of that game after because of a

259
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: foot injury. It's just a mess. So maybe they just

260
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 1: were saving him for on the road. Who knows. The

261
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: offense for Kansas City is fine. The offense for the

262
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens looks like it is broken right now, and

263
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: it is sort of a mess. Lamar Jackson ended up

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: getting you about twenty three fantasy points on Sunday, but

265
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: that's because he got a late touchdown run, had about

266
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: eighty rushing yards. But in terms of throwing the football,

267
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: it's a mess. They don't really have a wide receiver

268
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: they can count on. They're still waiting for Rashot Bateman,

269
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: but you know, one week it's to Marcus Robinson. You

270
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: know they're they're trying to figure out, you know, to

271
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: get Mark Andrews more involved and get him completely healthy.

272
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: Isaiah Likely was out last week. They can't run the

273
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: ball efficiently or effectively. Gus Edwards was kind of a mess.

274
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: It just has looked really sloppy for the last several weeks.

275
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: And really, if you go back a while, Jackson only

276
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: has twenty plus points twice since Week three. So this

277
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: has been going on for an extended period of time.

278
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: And I know we keep waiting for that big Lamar

279
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: breakout game, and you thought it was gonna happen yesterday.

280
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: I sort of agreed with you that it would happen

281
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Jags. I mean, are we are we

282
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: passed time to be worried about Lamar? Is there is

283
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: there a corner that he can turn? Is it coming

284
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: in the near future. I don't know. I'm starting to

285
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: think like this might just be who Lamar is. And

286
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: he was able to put a solid Fantasy game yesterday

287
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: because of what he does with his legs and and

288
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: that's why I think he's always in play. But yeah,

289
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: we're not seeing that consistent week in and week out,

290
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: big Lamar performances, and I don't know. Part of me

291
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: is thinking that. A lot of it is the lack

292
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: of playmakers he has around him, like Mark Andrews clearly

293
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: is not looking like himself right now, and you take

294
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: that away he's thrown it like DeShawn Jackson. So it's

295
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: it's concerning at the very least, although we do know

296
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson can still beat you deep at least

297
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: at least once a game. DeSean Jackson can beat you deep.

298
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: That happened yesterday. So the Ravens offense and they're passing

299
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: game can't be figured out. But maybe the Jaguars is

300
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: coming together. I think the Jaguars passing attack is a thing.

301
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: And for a while now on this show, we've both

302
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: been high on Christian Kirk and and saying that he

303
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 1: needs more respect than than he is getting. But then

304
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: in this past week, Trevor Lawrence had his best game

305
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: as a pro uh through for over three hundred yards

306
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: through for three touchdowns and it was his first career

307
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: game I think, with over three hundred and three touchdowns

308
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: and no interceptions. So but he's been playing better as

309
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: of late. He looks more comfortable in this Doug Peterson system.

310
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: And what I love is Za Jones is also a

311
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: thing in this offense. A Jones yesterday had a thirty

312
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: eight percent targets share, fifty two percent air yard serio

313
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: at fourteen targets is his third time in his last

314
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: five games with double digit targets. I think he's just

315
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: getting overlooked. He needs to be picked up if he's

316
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: still available in your league. Him and Christian Kirk and

317
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence I think are all in play next week

318
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: when they get the Detroit lines. Oh yeah, when they

319
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: play the Lions, I think everybody is in play. There

320
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: just a little teaser. Za Jones could find his way

321
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: into the sleeper's column. Next week. I'm just saying, just saying,

322
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: take a look at the top performers four week twelve.

323
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen at the top of the QB standings. Just

324
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: a tick under thirty points for him. Josh Jacobs win kaboom,

325
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: over three hundred total yards of offense, two touchdowns, including

326
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: the walk off game winner, Forty eight point three fantasy points.

327
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: My goodness, Justin Jefferson doing Justin Jefferson things. He at

328
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: your twenty nine point three Dalton Schultz having another good

329
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: tight end week, just over nineteen points for him. Justin

330
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: Tucker fifteen points with four field goals. Justin Tucker missed

331
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: a sixty seven yard and we were like, wow, what happened?

332
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was good, right, I thought that was

333
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna go through, which is a ridiculous thing to say,

334
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: but that's Justin Tucker and the Dolphins defense just mold

335
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans eighteen fantasy points for them. I don't

336
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: know if you saw the quote. Somebody asked Brandon Cooks,

337
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: when did you guys know you were overmatching. He's like,

338
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: when we stepped on the field. I feel bad for

339
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, man. Man, it is it's been rough For

340
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, I should check his Twitter accuntcy if he's

341
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: tweeting more cryptic things at this point. A second look though,

342
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: and dive into some of these top performers. Josh Jacobs man,

343
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: and we've talked a lot on this show about how

344
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: so many people and Fantasy Us included, were off the

345
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs wagon. Right, it just didn't seem like the

346
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: Raiders were using him. They had him play a ton

347
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame game. But you want to

348
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: talk about a dude who, while he probably won't be

349
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: the Fantasy m v P, probably is going to be

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: the biggest value pick in Fantasy and he just showed

351
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: us on Sunday exactly why he could be a big

352
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: value pick. I mean, this was just an amazing performance. Yeah,

353
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: and I mean nearly fifty Fantasy points. It's his best

354
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: game of the season. But let's not act like this

355
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: isn't you know who Josh Jacobs has been this year.

356
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: He's been in RB one, He's been up and down

357
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more the last month, but this is

358
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: his fourth game with over thirty Fantasy points this year.

359
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: There's very few running backs who bring the same weekly

360
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: sort of upside that a Josh Jacobs bringing. I watched

361
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: this game very closely because I had a matchup come

362
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: down to Josh Jacobs and man like I luckily I

363
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: had John I needed like a huge day out of

364
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: him to have a chance, and he more than delivered

365
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: so and like every play was designed to go to him.

366
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: So I feel like they should just keep doing this,

367
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: especially since he gets the Chargers next week. Oh, if

368
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: he's getting the Chargers next week, he might end up

369
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: being the RB one and a lot of rankings against

370
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: that Los Angeles defense. He's been great all season long,

371
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: and anybody who drafted him, we took the chance on him, congratulations,

372
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: because you know you end up with a great kind

373
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 1: of a depth running back who's ended up being kind

374
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: of an RB one for you this year. You mentioned

375
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: A Jones a little bit and that Jaguars passing game,

376
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: and sure, Christian Kirk definitely a thing. But Za Jones

377
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: eleven catches for a hundred and forty five yards. You

378
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: can't start him every week, but when the matchups right,

379
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: maybe he's got some deep league attractiveness to him. Yeah.

380
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: I think people should go out and pick him up

381
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: right now, unless here in my leagues because he's already

382
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: on my rosters. Za Jones is a player that Jones

383
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: isn't available in my league. Z A Jones, though he

384
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: has been playing well again two straight games with double

385
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: digit targets three of his last five games. He is

386
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: their wide receiver to opposite of Christian Kirk. I know

387
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones is still get his at certain times, but

388
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: Za Jones and Christian Kirk are clearly the top two

389
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: pass catchers in this offense that they're designing a whole

390
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 1: bunch of plays too. And again next week they get

391
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 1: the Lions, the week after they get the Titans. Those

392
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: are favorable matchups that I think Za Jones could help

393
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: some people sneak into the playoffs. And the best part

394
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: of it is Trevor Lawrence seems to be looking more

395
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: and more comfortable every week. He's getting a familiarity with

396
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: that offense. He's getting a familiarity with his wide receivers,

397
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: so things coming together down there. And Duval Kyler Murray,

398
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: we know that he is good, but he just sort

399
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: of reminded us. Even though the Cardinals couldn't hold on

400
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: and get the win against the Charge, which Kyler did

401
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: his thing, a couple of passing touchdowns, also had a

402
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: rushing score against Los Angeles, and I guess it's just

403
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: a reminder that that Kyler Murray still good at football.

404
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: What is he a top five quarterback rest of the season.

405
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: I he's definitely in the conversation, Like I would say

406
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: top five for sure has like Alan Mahomes uh to uh.

407
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, he's in the conversation. Um. But the

408
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: thing is he could still get better because this was

409
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: his first game this year with both DeAndre Hopkins and

410
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown and Rondel Moore was out, So now you

411
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: factor in after their week, their team by Ron dall

412
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Morris probably back. It's gonna be the best allotment of

413
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: assortment of weapons that Kyler Murray has had this season,

414
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: maybe arguably ever, so I would say the fantasy row

415
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: is definitely pointing up for Kyler. And he's not gonna

416
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: have zach Ertz for the rest of the year, so

417
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: he's still never gonna have his full complement of weapons.

418
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: And just in case that's not enough for you, he

419
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: reminded you he can still get out and run fifty

420
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: six Russian arts and the rushing score too. So the

421
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: floor should be raising. The ceiling probably going up as

422
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: well for Kyler Murray. So if you've been waiting for it,

423
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: I think the Kyler explosion is coming. The Chris Godwin

424
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: explosion finally came. We had been waiting for that for

425
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: a while. Twelve catches, a buck tin, and a touchdown.

426
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be hard to count on each

427
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: and every week, but at least for this week, it

428
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: was nice to see Chris Godwin looked like Chris Godwin again. Yeah,

429
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and coming like last week when kept saying about him

430
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: was like, he's shown to be a very reliable receiver,

431
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: but he hasn't showed us that Chris Godwin upside game

432
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: yet that we've seen so many times in the past.

433
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,959
Speaker 1: Well that came this week, twenty nine fantasy points over

434
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: a hundred yards, second straight game with a touchdown. But

435
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: what I love is since weeks six, he has double

436
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: digit targets in all but one game, and in that

437
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: one game he had eight targets. So he's looking a

438
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 1: bit more healthy, he's finding the end zone, and he's

439
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: getting so much volume each week that I think you

440
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: just start Chris Godwin moving forward. I think you do

441
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: just look whose quarterback is, Look who that offense is.

442
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: Look at the fact that he's going to get a

443
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: large target share and hopefully again I don't think you're

444
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: gonna get this sort of production. You're not gonna get

445
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: twenty nine points. But if he can get you, you know,

446
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen points a week, I think you're gonna be

447
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: happy with that. So those are the guys who were

448
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: on the upswing. How about the guys who left you

449
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: wanting more? It's our big disappointments of the week, and

450
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: who let you down this week. I'm not going very

451
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: far from Chris Godwin. In fact, I'm just gonna go

452
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: on the opposite side of the field of him and say,

453
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: Mike Evans, who had nine targets, And if you have

454
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Mike Evans on your fantasy roster, you gotta be like,

455
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: nine targets is all I can really ask for. Mike

456
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: Evans didn't do a whole lot with them, though, just

457
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: to catches thirty one yards, finished with just five Fantasy points.

458
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: He's right now. I think it's seven games in a

459
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: row without a touchdown. It's the longest streak of his career.

460
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: But still, I I still think you have to start

461
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Mike Evans every week, but he's certainly been very up

462
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: and down, and it's been frustrating for fantasy purposes. You're

463
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: starting because the ceiling is very high, even though the

464
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: floor has become a little bit low. I went and looked,

465
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: and he's on pace again for another thousand yards season.

466
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: I know it maybe doesn't mean quite as much when

467
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: you have that extra game added, but it's just a

468
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: consistency to Mike Evans year after year. At some point

469
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: we just sort of take it for granted. I was

470
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: disappointed by Jeff Wilson this week, and look, it wasn't

471
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: totally his fault, but we came into this week thinking

472
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: this was a huge smash spot right where he most

473
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: was injured, was not going to play. Wilson was taking

474
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: on the Hughes in Texans. It's as good a matchup

475
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: as you could imagine for a fantasy running back. He

476
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: got your double digit points twelve point two, but that

477
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: was in large part because he scored a rushing touchdown.

478
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: It was not the huge blow up game that we

479
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: wanted from Wilson. Again, it wasn't totally his fault. The

480
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins jumped out to such a big lead. The Texans

481
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: were such a mess in this one that they just

482
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: didn't really need him. But that doesn't mean I'm not

483
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: disappointed because I thought more things were going to happen.

484
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I thought this is gonna be a big number. You know,

485
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: he was gonna get you twenty five, twenty eight points

486
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: something like that, and he got you less than half

487
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: of that. So it's just frustrating. The process was right,

488
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: the results were wrong just because things beyond our control happened.

489
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: So that's just me complaining about stuff that I can't

490
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: I can't really do anything about. Mistakes were made, people

491
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: are there to be blamed. We'll get to a few

492
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: of the tweets you sent us on Twitter at NFL Fantasy.

493
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Let's start with this one grief Bacon eighties war, which

494
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: is hilarious benching Brian Robinson. I mean, come on, how

495
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: is I supposed to predict that? So? Is this is

496
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: this user error or is there some merit to this? No?

497
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: I think there's some merit to this. This backfield has

498
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: been insanely tough to predict week to week, Like one

499
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: week is Brian Robinson leading the way, the next week

500
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: it's Antonio Gibson and there's no rhyme or reason. Like

501
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: last week was like, all right, if they're playing with

502
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: the lead, it seems like they like to use Brian

503
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: Robinson in those games, and nope, it was Gibson, and

504
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: this week it was back to being Brian Robinson. I've

505
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: settled at the point, Marcus, where I think Gibson and

506
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Robinson are both just weekly flex options that you kind

507
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: of let the matchup determine if you want to play them.

508
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: So I'll say that I had Brian Robinson as a

509
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: sleeper this week, but I don't fault anybody for not

510
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: starting him just because, as you mentioned, it's been so inconsistent.

511
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: It's been so hard to figure there. I should envision

512
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: him having a decent game against Atlanta. But again, like

513
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that you were crazy because

514
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: you decided to put him on the bench this week.

515
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: It's not like you're not out there asking should I

516
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: start Nick up? That's all I'm saying, Super Mario d

517
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying this but not starting DJ More.

518
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: I benched him because you all know why so bad

519
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: I drafted that dude. Again, I get it. I completely

520
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: understand that one the same. I had DJ More as

521
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: a sit in my Starting Sindehama article last week, and

522
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: what I said was, I said that he plays better

523
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: with with Sam Donald. This is a positive, but it

524
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: is the toughest matchup for a wide receiver, and if

525
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: he goes out and has a good game, rather than

526
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: beat yourself up about it, you should feel good that, Like, hey,

527
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I could trust DJ More the rest of the way

528
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: with Sam Donald. So put that positive spin on it.

529
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 1: That's I think that's the way to sort of look

530
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: at it. And again again, I don't fault you at all.

531
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: I mean he's been awful all year, they were playing

532
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Everything about this seemed bad. But maybe what

533
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: we take away from Sunday is what we talked about

534
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: in the first segment, is that now with Sam Donald starting,

535
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: we can feel a little bit more confident in dj

536
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: More so have faith Mario. Maybe things are getting better,

537
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: Ray says Benching Miles Sanders for Alvin Kamarat the last

538
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 1: minute after going back and forth all week and then

539
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: a series of clowne emojis coming at the end of

540
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, I mean it's Alvin Camara. So I

541
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: guess I get it, but Alvin Camara hasn't really been

542
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: Alvin Camara this year, you know. And and in fact,

543
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: like he gets the bucks next week. I'd say, I'll

544
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: save you the time. Now, go ahead and start Miles

545
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: Sanders and those two. I won't beat you up because

546
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: Alvin Camaro was your first round pick. But man, if

547
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: we learned one thing last night, and we already knew it,

548
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 1: but like start running backs against the Packers. Yeah, and

549
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: this was the week that I was really worried. I

550
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: was off of Alvin Camara, but I was really big

551
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: on Miles Sanders. But again, I'm not gonna I'm not

552
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: going to flame you too much for this ray because

553
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: I certainly understand the process, especially going back and forth.

554
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: But I liked Sanders, didn't really love Camara against the

555
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: forty niners this week. Last one, Haley, Gabe Davis, I'm

556
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: so sick of the up and down. I will let you,

557
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: as the Bills fan, handle this one. I'm not gonna

558
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: fall too, Haley, because this is who Gabe Davis has

559
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: been this year, Like he's so up in down. This

560
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: was a matchup an indoors against the line scene that's

561
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: allowed a bunch of reduction against receivers. I get it.

562
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: They just didn't really use him a whole bunch. And

563
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: he also I mean, unless he's coming back to the ball,

564
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: you always got to worry about him dropping it. So

565
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: I think that that kind of has led to him

566
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: getting less targets as well. The thing about Gabe Davis,

567
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: and I've said this a few times, he's a home

568
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: run hitter, but it also means you're gonna endure some

569
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: strikeouts too when when that happens, and I think that's

570
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: sort of who Gabe Davis is. I feel like all

571
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: the off season talk about Gabe Davis, no matter what

572
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: side of the argument you fell on, you were right.

573
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, he does have the potential to have huge games.

574
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: He also has the potential to disappear and leave you

575
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: wanting more. So everybody can take a collective victory lap

576
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: because you were right on some point about Gabe Davis.

577
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully that made you feel better about some of the mistakes.

578
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: Probably didn't, especially if you took an owl, but we tried. Anyway,

579
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: We got more to talk about. We're gonna do a

580
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: round of cap or no cap about some things that

581
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: maybe we're a little bit worried about and whether or

582
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: not we actually think they're true, and we'll figure out

583
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: which cap is in no cap is We're trying to

584
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: figure that out during the break. Bear with us on

585
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:15,080

590
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: special offer of We're gonna play cap or no cap

591
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: here on the show. This is how it works. I'm

592
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: going to read a phrase. We're gonna decide whether that

593
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: phrase is a lie a k A cap or if

594
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: it is true a k A no cap. So let's

595
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 1: start in San Francisco. Christian McCaffrey CMC is no longer

596
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: a top five running back. Is that cap or no cap? Cap?

597
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: I want it to be true because Christian McCaffrey hasn't

598
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: been the same player on the forty nine outside of

599
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: that one huge game that he has been on the

600
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. But my issue is finding five running backs

601
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: that I would take over McCaffrey the rest of the year,

602
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: Like give me Eckler, give me Henry, and then it

603
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 1: becomes a discussion like would I rather say Kwan or CMC?

604
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: That's really closed Stevenson chub Uh. You know, there's Josh Jacobs,

605
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: like there's other guys that are in that conversation. But

606
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: I can't firmly today at least say like, no, there's

607
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: a definitive five running backs, I'll take over CMC. He

608
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: is still a top five running back for me. He's

609
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: still a top five fantasy running backs. I guess that

610
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: makes it cap now. I think the conversation here is

611
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: that Christian McCaffrey is not the guy you drafted at

612
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: the start of the year. Right when he was in Carolina,

613
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: he was getting of the snaps. So far in San Francisco,

614
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: that number has dropped to fifty percent. That's a huge

615
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: drop in terms of how he's being used. His touches

616
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: are down. He's about fourteen touches per game since he

617
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: came to San Francisco. And it's because they have an

618
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: offense with a whole lot more weapons. Right, they can

619
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: get it to Debo, they can get it to Iu,

620
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: they can get it to Kittle. I know Elijah Mitchell

621
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: got hurt on Sunday, but he was another guy that

622
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: they were using. So in terms of his usage, yeah,

623
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: he's not going to be that guy. So he's gone

624
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: from being an elite like head and shoulders above everybody

625
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: else running back to a guy who's above average and

626
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: still pretty good, just not necessarily a straight up league

627
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: winner like you thought you were getting in the first

628
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: two or three picks of your draft. So I still

629
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: think he's the top five running back because of what

630
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 1: you said, Like, I don't know that there are five

631
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: guys that I want ahead of Christian McCaffrey, but he's

632
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: not just running away with things in terms of the

633
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: scoring week to week. Let's stay in San Francisco. Though,

634
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is droppable. Is that cap or no cap?

635
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: That's cat? Yeah. Look, I'm willing to say that Deebo

636
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: Samuel is a is a bust this year if you

637
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: want to, I'll put the cap on. Now let's let's

638
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: let's the same f cap. He's not the guy that

639
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: you drafted him to be, and he is not going

640
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: to be, so I understand that he's been frustrating. I

641
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: don't even think he is a weekly must start option. Anymore.

642
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: But he's not droppable, like he reminded us last week

643
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: on the upside that he brings when he dropped twenty

644
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: two Fantasy points. And then this week he gets the Dolphins,

645
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: who also give up a ton of YAK and we

646
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: know that those are matchups that Debo can thrive in.

647
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: So again, I think he's more of a matchup play

648
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. He's not a must start option,

649
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not dropping him, Brandon you because turned out

650
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: to be the top receiver on that team this year,

651
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: which is a little bit surprising. The other part of it, though, is,

652
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, Elijah Mitchell got hurt, prohaps possibly going

653
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: on I R, which means he's gonna be out for

654
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: a while. Samuel maybe picking up some of those carries

655
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: again too, so maybe he's getting some extra touches somewhere

656
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: along the way. So I get it. If you have

657
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: a weekly debate over whether or not you're starting Debo,

658
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: you're not dropping Debo. Let's just let's just do away

659
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 1: with that. DeAndre Swift. We're not asking if he's droppable

660
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: because I don't think running backs. It's it's hard to

661
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: drop a running back, but DeAndre Swift is not a

662
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: starter anymore. Cap or no cap No cap, no cap.

663
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean we're not we're not caving. Yeah, he doesn't

664
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: start for his own team, probably shouldn't start for your

665
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: fantasy team right now. Last week, Swift played the Snaps

666
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: I believe that's the most he's played in the last month.

667
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: He still saw just five carries eight targets. That salvaged

668
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: his day, But that's not reliable week to week because

669
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: that was a game where the Lions were playing from

670
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: behind for for much and it was just a matchup

671
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: thing like the Bills have struggled against running backs. Let's

672
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: put the ball into Deanjay Swift's hands. He's sitting most

673
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: games this past month between eight and twelve fantasy points,

674
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: and that's with having a touchdown in three of them.

675
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: If he doesn't get you that touchdown, you're probably looking

676
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: at less than five fantasy points. I don't want that

677
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: player in my starting lineup. It has been nice that

678
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: the Lions are using him a little bit more close

679
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: to the goal line, even though it's still Jamal Williams territory.

680
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: But he's just been so volatile and the floor has

681
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: been so low that it is hard to make a

682
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: case for for starting him. But yeah, like I said,

683
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: you're holding onto him just because you need running backs.

684
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: And if something happens to Jamal Williams, then Swift is

685
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: thrust back in a big time role. But his usage

686
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: has dropped so significantly that I don't trust starting him

687
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: in my lineup. Damian Pierce was is the new hotness

688
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: for a while this season. The last couple of weeks

689
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: have not been good. So does that mean Damian Pierce

690
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: is droppable cap or no cap cap? Yeah? I can't

691
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: drop a running back that gets eight of his team's

692
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: work out of the backfield, especially not one who looked

693
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: as well as Damian Pierce did earlier in the season.

694
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: And I know last week I was on the show

695
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: saying like he's had a really tough schedule. The Dolphins

696
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: have been good against the running game as well. In

697
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: the past month or in the past five weeks, he's

698
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: played four teams in the bottom ten and fantasy points

699
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: allowed to running backs. This week he gets to Cleveland Browns, who,

700
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: outside of the Texans, have been the worst unit at

701
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: stopping running backs. Not only am I not dropping Damian Pierce,

702
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm willing to give him one more shot next week

703
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: in my starting lineup. Everything you said is how I

704
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: feel right now about Damian Pierces, Like I look at

705
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: him and like I can't start this dude, but I

706
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: can't drop him because he's getting so many snaps there

707
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: in Houston, and the matchup next week is so good.

708
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: The last thing I want to do is put him

709
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: back out on the waiver wire, have body scoop him up,

710
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 1: and then have at least a quality running back for

711
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. So it's frustrating. I I I

712
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: endorse putting him on the bench if you have better options,

713
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: but you're you're not putting him back in the waiver

714
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: wire pool. Okay, let's get to something more positive. Christian

715
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: Kirk is a must start for the rest of the season,

716
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: a must start for the rest of the season, cap

717
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: or no cap. I'm leaving that cap right there where

718
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: it is. I think this is true Christian Kirk right

719
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: now on this season. I think if you ask people

720
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: where he ranks amongst wide receivers, they would be surprised

721
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: to learn that he is a top ten Fantasy wide

722
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: receiver this season. And not only is he top ten

723
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: he's giving you over fifteen Fantasy points per game. He

724
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: gets around a quarter of the targets, if not more,

725
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: every week. Uh And I know, let yesterday eight point

726
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: one fantasy points was a disappointment, but when you're giving

727
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: most weeks over fifteen, eight point one is a pretty

728
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: solid floor, you know. I was I really wanted to

729
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: say cap on this. I did, but I think because

730
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: of that, I think it is no cap. And I

731
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: reminded myself of the volatility of wide receivers, right that, sure,

732
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is great, and he's got that really safe,

733
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: really high floor. There's only one Justin Jefferson, And now

734
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: that we've lost Cooper Cup for who knows how long

735
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: that consistency, you're just not going to find it a

736
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver. And Christian Kirk is sort of giving you that.

737
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: And I know we're not we're not necessarily celebrating him

738
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: across Fantasy Twitter like we are some other wide receivers.

739
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, maybe maybe it is. Maybe it is no cap.

740
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: Maybe he really is they must start for the rest

741
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: of the season. I was uncertain about that, and I

742
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: kind of talked myself into it. So maybe not as

743
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: exciting as Christian Kirk is Treylon Burke's who the last

744
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: couple of weeks starting to make plays for Tennessee. So

745
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: cap or no cap, Treylon Burke's is a wide receiver

746
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: too for the rest of the season. This I don't

747
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: want to do it, but I'm gonna say cap. I'm

748
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna say no cap. I'm not putting the cap on I.

749
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I think there's a ton of upside here with Trail Burk's. Uh,

750
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: he's looking really good as of late. I just I'm

751
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: not sure I wanna fully trust Tannehill in this offense yet.

752
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: I think he has the upside to be wide receiver

753
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: to the rest of the way. I think I feel

754
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable with him as a three

755
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 1: or flex. But the last couple of weeks he's done

756
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: a lot of his damage on the long ball. It's

757
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: great that they have someone now that can do that.

758
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: I just don't know if I trust this offense to

759
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: throw it every week. And yesterday his touchdown was a

760
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: fumble recovery that that's a little but there's definitely a

761
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: lot of upside with Burks. I mean, I'm saying no captain.

762
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: I would like to see him run more routes. I'd

763
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: like to see him play more snaps than he has.

764
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: But he's the guy who right now is earning targets,

765
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: he's getting open, he's getting those looks. And you can't

766
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: say that about Robert Woods right now. You can't really

767
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: say that about Nick Westbrook A Kene right now. You

768
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,399
Speaker 1: know they're they're cycling through a myriad of tight ends

769
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: at this point. So Burks sort of looks like that

770
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: guy in the Tennessee offense. And yes, I get it,

771
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: that offense is always going to run through Derrick Henry

772
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy. They're going to be run

773
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: based or not gonna throw it a lot. But Burks

774
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: looks like he's earning his opportunities there is going to

775
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: get more. So I think he's a wide receiver too.

776
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: Now might he's he's on the lower end of the

777
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver to spectrum. He'll probably dip into wide receiver

778
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: three territory at some point, but I think more often

779
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: than that, you're gonna get wide receiver two numbers out

780
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: of trail on Burke's and he is widely available. We'll

781
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: get to waiver wire in a little bit. He is

782
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: widely available dot com he should not be go. Even

783
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: if you're not starting him, go pick him up at

784
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: least to have him on your roster and have that

785
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: option going into the fantasy playoffs. Let's take a look

786
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: at some of the top of waiver wire targets four

787
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: week thirteen floral Who's on your list? Patrick Claibon would

788
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: love that A couple of New York quarterbacks start the list,

789
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones and Mike White. Jordan loved there as

790
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: well because he's a good matchup and Casey starts next week.

791
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Some running backs Gus Edwards, who was the lead runner

792
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: again for the Ravens and is widely available, Kirra and

793
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: Williams just because someone's got to get the ball there,

794
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: some j P. Ryan and case Joe mix and misses

795
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: more time. Zonovan Night, who we spoke about earlier. I

796
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: think he's worth picking up, as is Ty Johnson in

797
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: deeper leagues for the Jets, and then some pass catchers.

798
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: Z A. Jones tops the list for me, followed by

799
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: Treylon Burke's a couple of guys that we've spent a

800
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of time talking about today, Darius Slayton, do not

801
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: forget about him and what he did on Thanksgiving, Chase

802
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: Claypool because he's the new number one in Chicago, and

803
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: Elijah More because Mike White is reviving careers in New York,

804
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup and a Lama Day. Alama Day is the key.

805
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Is Son's gonna butcher that name. I knew it to

806
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: finish out the receivers, and then David and Joku and

807
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: Juwan Johnson. I know Johnson disappointed this week, but hey,

808
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: he's still been more good than bad. He also did

809
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: get an end zone target, for what it's worth, it

810
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: was knocked away, so they are looking for him in

811
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: the end zone. This is the life of dealing with

812
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: streaming tight ends. It's just going to happen there. By

813
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: the way, if you want any more in depth analysis

814
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: on some of these waiver wire picks and more, go

815
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: check out Matt o'cotta's weekly column at nfl dot com

816
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: slash waiver Wire. Let's talk about a couple of these

817
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: Jets though, because you mentioned Mike White on the list

818
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: and it's not a sexy name, but the Jets were

819
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: way more productive with him yesterday against the Chicago Bears

820
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: than they had been previously with Zack Wilson. And so

821
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: what you're thinking to QB league, super flex leagues, White

822
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: has some value now, yeah, I think so. I mean

823
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 1: he dropped to twenty four point eight Fantasy points thrown

824
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: for three, fifteen and three, and this is the second

825
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: time and like four starts that he's put up numbers

826
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 1: like this. Uh. And he even said himself after the game,

827
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: he was like, I don't know if I'm the starter

828
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: again next week. It's like no, no, no no, Mike, No,

829
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: you're there. You're the starter, it's safe to say. And

830
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: the Jets next week they get who do they get?

831
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: The Vikings. That's not a terrible matchup. The Bills after that,

832
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: then the Lions, like then the Jaguars and the Seahawks,

833
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: like there are some favorable matchups that if you're making

834
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: the playoffs, maybe been streaming quarterbacks, Mike White can help

835
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: you some weeks. So Mike White steps in plays very

836
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: well in place of Zack Wilson, and Elijah Moore has

837
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: a couple of catches sixty one yards After the game him,

838
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: I know, he was doing a postgame interview and a

839
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: bunch of his teammates were coming by saying free Elijah.

840
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: He is free. Like all these things. His teammates were

841
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,959
Speaker 1: super happy for him. The production is great, four team

842
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. The thing that worries me though, Mike he

843
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: only had two targets, I think only played like thirty

844
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: of the snaps. Of the snaps are still really low,

845
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: but I guess there's reason for optimism after what we

846
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: saw yesterday. Yeah, More is not the kind of player

847
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: to pick up and plug into your starting lineup right away,

848
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: but he's just one of those guys that, like, there's

849
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: upside here, and if you have a roster spot on

850
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: your bench that you could take away and see approach,

851
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: he's a fine upside shot worth taking because we know

852
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: from last year and what we saw yesterday, and Mike

853
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: White likes to target his slot receivers. Elijah Moore is

854
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: gonna be his lead slot guy, and I love that

855
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: his two catches one was a touchdown, almost a forty

856
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: yard catch, Like like, there's a lot of potential here

857
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: with Elijah More. We know that we just need to

858
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: get him the ball more. And if Mike White can

859
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: do that, I think there's there's upside down the road.

860
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 1: Let's hope that this is the start of something good

861
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: for a guy who was really just quort of languished

862
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: in obscurity pretty much all season long. Alamada Zechias. I

863
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: don't want to say he's the Falcons receiver that you

864
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: have to have, because I don't think that such a

865
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: thing exists in two but there does seem to be

866
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: some upside here because this isn't the first time he's

867
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: gone out and had a good game. And shout out

868
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: to Adam Ranko. I think had Zakias is one of

869
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: his like five guarantees on Fantasy Live. But I guess

870
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: if we're if we're checking on Falcons pass catchers, Zekias

871
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: seems like a dude that we should at least pay

872
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: attention to. Right. Yeah, we we know the floor is

873
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: very low here, but this was the first game without

874
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, and the thought was like Drake London would

875
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: get more involved, but then who else will be the

876
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: one that steps up in this passing attack? And Drake

877
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: London really wasn't all that more involved. He had just

878
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: four targets. Zakias had eight lad the way, uh. And

879
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: what I like about Zechias is he's the receiver that

880
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,319
Speaker 1: they liked taking their downfield shots with. I think they

881
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: should try more with with Drake London because we know

882
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: he could win downfield. But as long as they're using

883
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 1: Zechias in that role, there's so mom He's a deeper

884
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: league guy for sure, but there's some upside here. So

885
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: the key is getting some opportunities. The moment we all

886
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: start to buy into him is when Caldarrel Hodge comes

887
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: to life in Atlantic, because that's just how things work there.

888
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, I know it wasn't a great game for

889
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: him yesterday. He lost the fumble, the Raven struggled to

890
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: run the football. Nine point two fantasy points for Gus Edwards.

891
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,240
Speaker 1: Not a great day, but still a run heavy offense,

892
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: and he's still the guy who right now is the

893
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: lead running backs. So I feel like that alone, it's

894
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: we're like we talked about Damian Pierce, right, It's hard

895
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 1: to completely go away from Pierce. Same thing with Edwards.

896
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: He's just gonna get an opportunity in Baltimore. Yeah, of

897
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: the snaps yesterday, he had sixteen carries. The other running

898
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: backs on the team combined for three he and they.

899
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: He had one target. The other two running backs combined

900
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: had one target. So like all of the production is

901
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: going towards Gus Edwards. I know he struggled on the

902
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: ground yesterday to turn it into a whole lot. That

903
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,439
Speaker 1: could be just who he is at this point right now,

904
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: But when we're talking about running back getting that much work,

905
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 1: I think you want him on your roster, especially because

906
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: Edward does have a track record of success and the

907
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: Ravens run game is woman at the very least you

908
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: want some exposure to You want some exposure to it.

909
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: So I feel like Gus Edwards should be on rosters.

910
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: You can debate depending on who you have whether or

911
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: not you're starting him, but at least go pick him up.

912
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: If you're going to pick people up, I means you're

913
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: probably saying goodbye to somebody. So who's somebody that can

914
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: be put back in the pool now? Kareem Hunt. Kareem

915
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: Hunt just this past week only had five carries. He's

916
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: not really been used in the past and game a

917
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: whole lot. Now we're talking about the Shaun Watson coming back,

918
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: which leads me to think over time the Browns might

919
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: get more past happy than they have been with Jacobe Brissette.

920
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: But either way, I don't expect a bunch of dump

921
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 1: off passes to the running back. That's what Kareem hunt.

922
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 1: That's how he's made, you know, do this last couple

923
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: of years with Baker Mayfield. You take that away, then

924
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: Marcus he is the Texans next week. And I was like,

925
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: I can tell people to start him with zero percent confidence.

926
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: And if I can't tell people to start you against

927
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: the Texans, you're not worth rostering. Yeah, it's just I

928
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: don't know where it fall fell apart for Kareem Hut

929
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 1: this year because he's not getting the targets, he's not

930
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: getting the carries. He really is very much a Hey,

931
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, Nick Chubb's run run really hard. He just

932
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 1: needs to take a breather for a minute, like cream

933
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: Now you get to play, And there's just no fantasy

934
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: value in that. The only way I would want to

935
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: roster Hunt is if I have Nick Chubb. That's it.

936
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: And that's that's basically pretty much as a handcuff at

937
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: this point. That's all cam Akers can go back to

938
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. And I feel like we've said this

939
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: a bit, but I feel like we all were off

940
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 1: cam Akers because we just didn't know what to expect.

941
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: Then the Rams went out and released Darryl Henderson. So

942
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: everybody went back to cam Akers thinking, well, hey man,

943
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: this is gonna mean more opportunities. And then Kiren Williams

944
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: came in and got most of the snaps and most

945
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: of the touches there. The Rams offense is a mess.

946
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 1: In reality, you probably don't want any parts of it.

947
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that Kyrien Williams is a great pickup

948
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 1: or a great ad, but I think at this point

949
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 1: we can safely say that cam Akers ain't it three

950
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: point seven points yesterday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The

951
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: Rams are going to be playing from behind pretty much

952
00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, I would imagine, so not

953
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities for Acres to run the football.

954
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 1: He's not really involved in the passing game. He right

955
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 1: now is roster and I think fifty percent I believe,

956
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: of NFL dot Com leagues that was at least as

957
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: of Sunday evening. We can we can just say goodbye.

958
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: At this point, there's there's no reason to keep holding

959
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: on the cam Makers. That dream is dead. Two time

960
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: for our Madden Movers, the chance for us to give

961
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: some love the guys we didn't really get to in

962
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: the show and we think they deserve a boost from

963
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: EA Sports and the Madden Game. So who deserves to

964
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: be moving on up this week? Romandre Stevenson, who right

965
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: now is an eight overall. He dropped over twenty uh

966
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. It's his third time this year having nineteen

967
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: and a half Fantasy points and more in a game

968
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: without a touchdown. That is how you know you are

969
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: an elite fantasy asset. And that is how you should

970
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: get a matting bump. Oh since since like Week eight,

971
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: he leads running backs and targets, catches, receiving yards, all

972
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: of that. So Ramandroid played on Thanksgiving. Also, Isaiah mackenzie

973
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 1: played on Thanksgiving and had a really big game there.

974
00:44:56,719 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: And I know that Haley was frustrated about Gabe Davis

975
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: while she can sort of thank or blame Isaiah McKenzie

976
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 1: for Dave Davis's lack of production, because he had six

977
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: catches for ninety six yards in a touchdown, twenty two

978
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points, and he has been inconsistent. That's not a surprise.

979
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: He has been sort of who we thought he would be.

980
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: But had a nice, big blow up game against the

981
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: Lions on Thanksgiving to help the Bills get a win,

982
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: and hopefully he can help your Madden squad if he

983
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: gets boosted a little bit this week. Who else deserves

984
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: a Madden bump James Conner, who at seventy eight overall,

985
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was just too low, especially considering what

986
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,839
Speaker 1: he did this past week. Twenty five carries a buck

987
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty on the ground, then he caught all three of

988
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 1: his targets for twenty yards and a touchdown. I know

989
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: he's missed time this year due to injury, but this

990
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: is a guy who was a league winner last year.

991
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: He scored eighteen touchdowns. I think he's just a reliable

992
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: weekly RB two that you could start and know that

993
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: he has RB one upside each week. And he's a

994
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: seventy eight overall, I feel like he should at least

995
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: be in the eighties. I think with his usage, he

996
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 1: might be an RB one the rest of the way.

997
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: Kind of a low wind there, but I do like

998
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: him a lot the rest of the way minus Josh Oliver.

999
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: My last one here not because he's gonna have some

1000
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: kind of long lasting upside on a team that has

1001
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, but it was a Josh Oliver game against

1002
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and he scored a touchdown four for seventies

1003
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: six and a touch seventeen point six fantasy points. He's

1004
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: a sixty eight overall, so maybe we get him a

1005
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: little bit closer to seventy, maybe just a notch or so.

1006
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: That would be kind of nice if we could do that. So,

1007
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: Josh Oliver, congrats on having your big game this week.
