Murphy. 15 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: Esquire Murph, how are you feeling this Friday morning? I mean, Marcus, 16 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: you know how I'm feeling. We all saw it happened 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: at Debacle on Thursday Night Football and and and it's 18 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: like I'm al Pacino and like got far of the three. 19 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: So every time I think they pulled me back in 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: the Giants just have this this power or me that 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 1: they get me to watch and I'm ultimately let down. 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: I mean two touchdowns in like four minutes and thirty seconds, 23 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: and um, I I mean Evan ingram Man like you 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: cost some interception and after any times had a really 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: good game and the ball is right on your fingertips, 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: you'll let that drop. And um, I mean most amount 27 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: of drop since for a tight end. I believe these 28 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: caused like four turnovers this year for them, just really 29 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: really bad. I'm just super frustrated, and um I hate it. 30 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,680 Speaker 1: I hate how the Giants are playing. I hate their 31 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: joke of franchise. It's it has to be especially frustrating 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: because they were so close. I mean, you're right, they 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: had the lead late in that game. If they can 34 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: just get a first down or two, then this game 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: is over. Ever has one just because has it just 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: clank off his feel like that, That to me has 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: to be the most I think it'd be one thing, 38 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: Ednie if if they just went and just got run 39 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: out of the building and you can just to throw 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: your hands in and say, you know what, it just 41 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: wasn't gonna happen. But I think to see them that close. 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: That has to be the part that's heartbreaking. Absolutely. I mean, 43 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones had his first okay, good, you know whatever 44 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: game this season, the defense played well enough to win. 45 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman came out of nowhere and had a pretty 46 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: good game. Certainly Shepherd's back scored a touchdown. I mean, 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: a lot of bright spots on that team. You're like, wow, 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: you know, two wins, but they're you know, right there 49 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: for the to win the division, and um, just to 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: see it go down like that, I mean, of course 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: it has to be the Eagles, the team I hate 52 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the most. It's just, man, I'm disgusted. I feel you're 53 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: paying dude, I completely feel it. Well, at least the 54 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: weekend's coming, so hopefully you can sort of take your 55 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: mind out at least for a day, at least for Saturday, 56 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: so so at least there's something, hopefully to distract you 57 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,959 Speaker 1: a little bit. Um. All right, let's pivot and bring 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: it our pal Michael f Florida, who will help us 59 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: get through our T and F recap and the rest 60 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: of the show as well. Before we actually do that, Uh, 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: let's just a quick reminder. Actually, let's start Florida. How 62 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: are you let's just just be looking white. Let's be 63 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: let's be welcoming, Floria. How are you feeling this morning. 64 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm feeling better than Eddie. I'm sorry Eddie 65 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: about your pain. But I will say, as someone who 66 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: has a lot of friends from back home in New 67 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: York who are Giants fans, being group chats with them, well, 68 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: it's a lot more fun when you're not a fan 69 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: of the team, and something like last night happens. I 70 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: had like friends being like, you gotta throw Evan in 71 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: Ram the ball, and then ten minutes later it was like, 72 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: why are we throwing in the ball? So it was 73 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: just pretty funny to be a spectator watching uh my 74 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: sad Giants friends misery. There's nothing rational about being a 75 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: sports fan, Like, I really don't know why. If if 76 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: you were just to step outside of yourself and look at, 77 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: you know, the live Sports Fans League, you would wonder 78 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: why we do this to ourselves on a regular basis, because, uh, 79 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: they probably more pain than joy involved in it. So 80 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why we do it. Uh. 81 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: One quick and actually fairly important note for everybody out there, 82 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: in case you have not seen, there has been a 83 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: change to the schedule four weeks seven. Originally, the Buccaneers 84 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: and Raiders were scheduled to be the Sunday Night football game, 85 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: but because there were some positive COVID tests with the 86 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: Raiders offensive line and several people who were sent home 87 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: and because of contact tracing, that game has actually been moved. 88 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: Will now be played at four oh five Eastern Time 89 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: on Sunday and it will air on Fox. And in 90 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: its place on Sunday Night, it will now be the 91 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: Seahawks and the Cardinals, So we'll get the Russ v. 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: Kyler in prime time. So that should be a lot 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: of fun. But in case, in case you have some 94 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: lineup decisions to make, that's just something to keep in mind. 95 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: And now those games are gonna swap places on the 96 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: schedule coming up this Sunday. And meantime, we had Thursday 97 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: Night football last night, as that we have referenced. And 98 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: in case you somehow missed this whole thing, the Eagles 99 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: squeak out a win against the New York Giants twenty 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: two to twenty. It was the final score in that one. 101 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: A quick look at some of the top fantasy scores 102 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: from this When Carson wentz bounced back. Actually shouldn't say 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: about like he's been playing well lately, nearly twenty and 104 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: fantasy points, three hundred and fifty nine passing yards, a 105 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: pair of touchdowns, and an interception. Daniel Jones with a 106 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven passing yards. He had two touchdowns 107 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: and an I n t. Also ninety two rushing yards 108 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: including uh, what was sort of the blooper of the night, 109 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: a long run that looked like it was gonna go 110 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: for a touchdown until the Turf Monster, which is having 111 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: an all Pro year by the way, I went and 112 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: made the tackle before he could get to the goal line. 113 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: And then Boston Scott who finally came through late with 114 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: a touchdown, but ninety two screaming yards three catches as well. 115 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: He got you over eighteen fantasy points. But let's start 116 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz because he's turning things around, Mike. I mean, 117 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: at the start of the year, it was pretty bad 118 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: for wins. I mean we were sort of backing off 119 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: of him and wondering if it was just gonna fall apart. 120 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: But he's he's starting to kind of put things together. 121 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: So are we back in on the winzwagon? Yeah? I 122 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: don't think he is a you know, must start every 123 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: single week quarterback just yet, but I do think he 124 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: is back being into that QB one range, like back 125 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: in you be one range each week. To me, there's 126 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: like six or seven guys that you start regardless of 127 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: the matchup, and then after that, I think you could 128 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: play the matchups. But whence What I love is he's 129 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: running more this year twenty six rushing yards per game, 130 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: career high. He has five rushing touchdowns this year. He 131 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: had his previous four NFL seasons combined. Uh, he has 132 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: twenty one or more and four of his last five games. 133 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: So it's just right now he's looking like a little 134 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: bit of a different quarterback. And the running game hasn't 135 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: been clicking for Philly, which is asking him to run 136 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: more and just throw more too. So I think he 137 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: is back into being someone that we can trust most weeks. Yeah, 138 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: he is. He's back into the top ten or at 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: least top twelve right now, and and things are starting 140 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: to turn around. I said earlier this week that if 141 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: you love the Law or sausage or Carson Wentz fantasy points, 142 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: you should watch neither one of them being made because 143 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: it's not pretty watching watching wins in his offense play 144 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: at times is frustrating because he holds the ball a 145 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: long time. The offensive line is not great. He made 146 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: a couple of really questionable throws, one of them did 147 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: get picked, had another one that probably should have been intercepted. 148 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: So it is frustrating. It is, it's ugly, but it 149 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: has become effective. And you mentioned the five rushing touchdowns. 150 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I thought the thing that was interesting to take away 151 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: from last night Floria was that it's almost like they're 152 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: trying to use him like Cam Newton. I mean, like 153 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: he's running the football. They seem to have some designed 154 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: runs for him. They had that one uh near the 155 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: goal line on a two point conversion try that was 156 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: ultimately unsuccessful. But they're they're using him to run the football. 157 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is the plan all year, 158 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: if this changes once Miles Sanders is healthy, but it 159 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: for the time being. It certainly lifts his floor a 160 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: little bit if we know that we can get those 161 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns from him, so that that is a positive. 162 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: A negative continues to be the injuries happening in this 163 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: Eagles offense. Deshan Jackson ended up leaving with what is 164 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: right now being called a high ankle spraining, so he 165 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: potentially going to be out for a few weeks. On 166 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: top of it, zach Ertz has been placed on injured reserve. 167 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: He's expected to miss four to six weeks. Dallas got 168 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Heart is not going to be around for possibly until 169 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: week ten, until after the bye. But Richard Rogers had 170 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: a pretty good game last night, So is there any 171 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: interest and maybe adding Rogers if you need tight end 172 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: help going forward? I think so. Like like you said, Marcus, 173 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: Earth's and got It are out for at least the 174 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: next couple of weeks. So next week, think at the 175 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and their defense, I think you can expect 176 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: some yardage to be put up against them. And that's 177 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: why I think Richard Rodgers, especially Marcus we talk about 178 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: it all the time, right like we say tight end 179 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: is deeper than ever. Well we're seven weeks into the 180 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 1: year and I feel like it's shallower than ever already. 181 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: So I think and that in in this position, in 182 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: this landscape of tight end right now, Richard Rodgers is 183 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: someone that until those other guys are healthy, I think 184 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: is fantasy relevant. It's amazing how Carson Wentz loves his 185 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: tight ends because you know, we've seen what Earth's can 186 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: do when when he's at his peak. We've seen god 187 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: It reproductive. Now it's Rogers that steps in and play 188 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: as well at this point, because Earth's has not performed 189 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: and now he's hurt. Is there any reason for folks 190 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: to hold onto him on their fantas the rosters? I 191 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: don't think so. I had him actually this week as 192 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: a player you can drop, and some people were like, oh, 193 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to give up on him, and I said, 194 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: if you have an I R spot, that's different. But 195 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: a lot of leagues onm IN don't have an I 196 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: R spot, and those with the bye weeks coming now, 197 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: and other players, you know, like if you have like 198 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: a Mixing or something, or Nick Chubb, like those players 199 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: are more valuable and you have to hold onto them 200 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 1: right now. So bench spots are becoming more and more 201 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: valuable right now. I think with it's such a long 202 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 1: layoff and him not even being productive when he was healthy, 203 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: I think you can drop Schurts right now. I think 204 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: that's the biggest part of that. When he was healthy, 205 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't really doing much. And now you're waiting until 206 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, maybe at the soonest what week eleven, Uh, 207 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: maybe as long as week thirteen. So you're talking about 208 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: maybe the Fantasy playoffs. Now, I guess if there's upside 209 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: and you do have that, I R spot, the Fantasy 210 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: playoffs schedule actually isn't terrible for the for the Eagles, 211 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: So I mean that that's something to kind of keep 212 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: in mind of fact. I think they in Championship Week 213 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: they would play the Dallas Cowboys. So uh, that's that's 214 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: maybe something to hold on to. But if you don't 215 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: have that I R spot, it just doesn't really make 216 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: sense to hang onto him. Uh. On the Giant side, 217 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: you heard Eddie talk about his frustration with Evan Ingram 218 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of Giants fans would certainly 219 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: agree with that. And look, it just kept feeling like 220 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: we're waiting. A couple of weeks ago. Against Dallas, you 221 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: didn't really get big production out of him. You got 222 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: double digit points from him last night, but it still 223 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: wasn't much. It probably could have or should have been more. 224 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: Are we totally out on Evan Ingram at this point? 225 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: I think you can't be totally out on him again 226 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: because of tight ends, But he is not someone that 227 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: I think you have to roster or you know, if 228 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: he has a bad matchup when you play a different 229 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: tight end, like you still stash him on your bench. 230 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: Like I think he is someone you could throw on 231 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: the waiver wire. And if they have a good matchup, 232 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: like I thought last night was a good matchup for 233 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, he could have ended up having a nice 234 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: night if he comes down with that long catch. But still, like, 235 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: how many times can we say, oh, he could have 236 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: done this, or he could have had a nice night, 237 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: Like at some point we need production, and it just 238 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: hasn't been coming from every Ingram. It has not been coming. 239 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: And you know, he was one of those guys sort 240 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: of in the middle tier of tight ends that I 241 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: wasn't quite sure how to rank or or whether or 242 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: not I had any interest in drafting him, and and 243 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: he has certainly been a disappointment. I had asked Adam 244 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: Rank earlier this week whether or not if he didn't 245 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: perform on Thursday, if it was time to be done, 246 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: and Rank sort of suggested that, yeah, maybe it's time 247 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: to move on. So I think if you have even Ingram, 248 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: chances are you probably have another tight end. You've probably 249 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: been sort of playing the matchups and streaming, and I 250 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: think you're probably gonna have to continue to do that. 251 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: But I think you just don't have that same level 252 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: of confidence in Ingram even when the matchup is good, 253 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: because we haven't seen him really have that big breakout 254 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: game so far yet this season. All right, let's turn 255 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: to a few fantasy headlines and things actually kind of 256 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: popping off on Friday morning before we started recording this show. 257 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: The first one. Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has 258 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: officially been ruled out with a foot injury for this 259 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: week's game against the Cleveland Browns. So, Gilbert Hard, it's 260 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: sort of been kind of editoror steadily getting touches and 261 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: getting on the field. But now with no Mixing, how 262 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: would you rank Mixing going into or would you rank 263 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: Bernard rather going into this week's game? So I had 264 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: Joe Mixing as my RB thirteen before when I expected 265 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: him to play, but this morning I updated it and 266 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: I currently have Gio Bernard at RB sixteen, a little 267 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: bit lower than I had Mixing um, but not that 268 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: much because last year we didn't really see Mixing miss 269 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: any time. But in the year before that, when he 270 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: did miss multiple games, j Bernard just stepped in and 271 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: they didn't really miss a beat. He was putting up 272 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: RB one type numbers. So I have him more as 273 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: an RB two this week, but someone that I think 274 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: you should run out right now, check waiver wires. If 275 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: he's out there, and if you're lucky enough to get him, 276 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: I think you start him this week. It's a pretty 277 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: it's an okay match up against the Browns, but all 278 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: the volume is going to be going to him. I 279 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing, is that the volume is 280 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: gonna be going there. We we know they used him 281 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: to catch passes anyway. That has sort of been the 282 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: frustration for anybody starting mixing is that when the Bengals 283 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: were in catch up mode, we saw a lot of 284 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: Jeo Bernard on the field, so that certainly helps raise 285 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: his weekly floor. The matchup is, like you said, it's okay, 286 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: but the volume is certainly going to be there, So 287 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: you're right. I know he's available in a ton of leagues. 288 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: I think of multiple platforms, So go and tell you look, 289 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: go see if he's out there, because if you're needing 290 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: running back, help I think Gio Bernard is a guy 291 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: who could certainly slide in there and offer you some 292 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: decent production this week. Uh. The thing that has rankled 293 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: Fantasy Twitter for the last few days now, Antonio Brown 294 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: is eligible to come off of suspension and there are 295 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: reports that the Seahawks had an interest in signing him. 296 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: Then a couple of days after that came news that 297 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens we're planning to sign Dez Bryant to their 298 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: practice squad. So it is a flashback of one time 299 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: fantasy stud receivers coming back into our lives, and that 300 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 1: has sent Fantasy Twitter into a tizzy. Do you have 301 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: any interest in in either one of these or both 302 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: of these guys right now? I have no interest in 303 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. I think he is much more of a 304 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: good story, is something to root for, Like I hope 305 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: we get to see him back, because you know, he 306 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: was fun player to watch, but he was someone who 307 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: dealt with a lot of foot injuries and I thought 308 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: was heavily declining when he was, you know, with the Cowboys, 309 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: and we haven't seen him in the NFL in years, 310 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: and again he's only on the practice squad here, and 311 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: if they call him up. I think his third target 312 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: at best. But Antonio Brown, I mean, I'm always a 313 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: sucker for upside and a B two years ago it 314 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: was still one of the best water receivers in football. 315 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't really expect that. And I think one caveat 316 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: that isn't getting enough attention unless they can start the 317 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: COVID testing early, Like if he can't sign ntil after 318 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: week eight, does he stiff to wait, you know, the 319 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: whole week like Levian Bell had to and other players 320 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: who have signed had to, because then at that point 321 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: then we're probably talking about week nine. He's only starting practice. 322 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: How quickly is he gonna be acclimated into the system. 323 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: I would expect him to just be like more of 324 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: a gadget player, a couple targets of game, maybe stretched 325 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: the field or something like that. But I think he 326 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: is more valuable in name, like if you can grab 327 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: him now and anyone wants to offer you something, or 328 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: if he does sign you trade him then. But I 329 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: think he's better as a value his name trying to 330 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: trade him than he is contributing to your fantasy team. 331 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: And I think that's sort of the big part for me, 332 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: is that it really is more about, uh, the fact 333 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: that there's buzz around him at this point, right, and 334 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: that you know there are people who have interest. So 335 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: maybe if you were able to pick him up off 336 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: the waiver wire, or if you somehow drafted and stashed 337 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: him all this time, I think there's a chance for 338 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: you to kind of get something of value. I do 339 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: worry about, you know, you mentioned the the COVID testing 340 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: and having to wait and when he gets into practice. 341 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: There's also the fact that there's still another investigation hanging 342 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: over him as well, and there's still a chance that 343 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: he could be suspended by the league for that. So 344 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: we really don't need completely know what his playing status 345 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: is going to be. And I know it's you know 346 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: what's funny to me is that the Seahawks right now 347 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: have two of the biggest wish casted wide receivers in 348 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: to see football with this this talk of them maybe 349 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: signing Antonio Brown, the fact that they're still waiting for 350 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, right, I mean it still Josh Gordon is 351 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: still kind of hanging around, uh, and you know they're 352 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: starting to see if he can ever be reinstated. Uh, 353 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: the Seahawks are just kind of dangling these two guys 354 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: out there and fantasy Twitter is sort of just kind 355 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: of like, you know, drooling over what possibly could be 356 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: as someone who has locked in d K and a 357 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: few of my rosters, like I do not want them 358 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: to sign him selfishly, Yeah, I have stayed away from 359 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. I guess look, if I were if I'm 360 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: in a situation where I had a team that was 361 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, five and one, six and oh whatever, and 362 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: I had the roster space, maybe I consider it. Um 363 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: But I just I think there's there's there are far 364 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: more unknown than negatives than there are, and there is upside. 365 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: So I have personally stayed away, but I know that 366 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 1: a lot of folks have have certainly dived right in. 367 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: So yeah, he would stay hands off. The most added 368 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: Wade receiver this week on NFL dot Com. Yeah, I'm 369 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: gonna stay hands off, and look if it if he 370 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: comes out and he's great, then hey, I'll just take 371 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: the l on that one. But I just I just 372 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: don't want the headache there. Uh. Jets News. Sam Donald 373 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 1: is expected to start for the Jetropolitans this week after 374 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: missing a couple of games where a shoulder injury. They 375 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: take on the Bills coming up on Sunday. Now, Florio, 376 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: I don't think there are a lot of people starting 377 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Sam Donald maybe maybe two QB leagues is probably the 378 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: only thing there. But the Bills have struggled against the 379 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: tight end position. So now that the starting quarterback is back, uh, 380 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: and you hope he can get the ball out more 381 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: efficiently than Joe Flacco, would you consider starting, say Chris 382 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: Herndon or you know, in dire straits Ryan Griffin against 383 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: the Bills. Yeah. I I had Chris Herndon on because 384 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: I put out every week on Twitter like a list 385 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: of waiver wire targets, and I had him as like 386 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: a deeper league add and people were like, there's no 387 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: reason at all to add Chris Herndon. I was like, well, 388 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: the Bills are allowing the most receiving yards to the 389 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: position there in the top five, and fantasy points allowed 390 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: to tight ends, So I think if you're in like 391 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: a deeper league again, tight end has been so gross 392 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: to four teams on by there's people out there who 393 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,719 Speaker 1: are diving very deep for tight end, and I think 394 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: Chris Herndon is a upside play, not really a safe floridall, 395 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: but he has some upside you talk about diving deeper tightens, 396 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: like I have a league where I have three tight 397 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: ends on my roster. Don't ask why it's a whole thing, 398 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: but I have three tightens on my roster and literally 399 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: all three of them are on a buy I have. 400 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: I've got Mark andrews Uh, Mike Gesicki, and Kyle Rudolph, 401 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: and all three of them are on a buy this play. 402 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: So I understand the pain of having to go on 403 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: the waiver wire and try to find a tight end 404 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: this week. So Chris Herndon, at this point, I think 405 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 1: if you're if you're streaming tight end, you just are 406 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: hoping for a touchdown more than anything else. I think 407 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: that's sort of the upside. That's what that's the hope for. 408 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: And Bills have given up some yards and some points 409 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: to a fantasy tight end. So there, there you have. 410 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: That could be a nottion for you, alright.

We have reached the 417 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: back half of the fantasy regular season. I mean Week 418 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: seven is already officially underway, and so we're kind of 419 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: hitting maybe not the stretch run, but we're hitting pretty 420 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: close to it. So as always, we have some of 421 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: our big questions of the week, and the first one 422 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: it is in Pittsburgh where we have seen Chase Claypool 423 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: step up and play really well. By the way, and 424 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm sort of having this conversation on Twitter as we 425 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: do this, but Maple Tron is a bad nickname and 426 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,199 Speaker 1: no one should use it. We can come together as 427 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: a football watching populace and come up with something better 428 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: than maybe whose nickname is that Chase Claypool because apparently 429 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: he's Canadian, so they're calling him Maple Tron. It's terrible. 430 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: We can do better. Let's together any Canadian player just 431 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,919 Speaker 1: giving them a nickname with maple, right, like making Maple 432 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: stop doing maple for for Canadian guys, and just stopped 433 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: doing Tron for any wide receiver who like is big 434 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: or whatever. Like, we can do better than this, people, 435 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: But he's playing well. There's no doubt about it. Deante 436 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: Johnson is back this week. In the meantime, Juju Smith 437 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: Schuster has easily been one of the biggest disappointments across 438 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: fantasy football. On paper, the matchup this week is good 439 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans, but I mean, can you still 440 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 1: trust Juju at this point? Marcus? Juju Smith Schuster is 441 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 1: in my sleeper article this week, and like, that's just 442 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: right there shows you how bad he's been. Playing single 443 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: digits in two straight games, list in fifty yards in 444 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 1: every game but one this season. He just hasn't been 445 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: that guy that we've expected. In last year, you could 446 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 1: make excuses for him. He wasn't healthy, Big Ben was out, 447 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: the whole Steelers offense just was a mess. But what's 448 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: his excuse this year. It's just that there's other wide 449 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: receivers in this offense that are taking away a lot 450 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: of that volume. So I think that Juju this week 451 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: is someone that is a high upside wide receiver three, 452 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: but he's very boom er bus. Like you could get 453 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: single digit fantasy points once again this week, But I 454 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he had his best game of 455 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: the year because the Titans are just a really good 456 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: matchup for wide receivers right now. It really is a 457 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: low floor, high ceiling sort of thing for him this week. 458 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: And what's weird is that he's I think he's actually 459 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: leads the team in targets this year, but it's all 460 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: a lot of short yardage stuff. It's a lot of 461 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: underneath stuff. And it's what I remember what I said 462 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: about DeAndre Hopkins last year when he was having, you 463 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: know what for him was a frustrating under performing season, 464 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: is that as a fantasy manager, it's really disheartening when 465 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: you see your guy catch the ball and the line 466 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: of the blue line of scrimmage line is still on 467 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: the field, Like you don't still want to see that 468 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: on the screen when your wide receiver is catching the ball, 469 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: and it seems like that's what's happening where Juju Smith 470 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Schuster a lot because it's about five yards per target generally, 471 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: uh and so that is forcing him to do to 472 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: have big yard after the catch numbers, and that hasn't 473 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,479 Speaker 1: really come to fruition for him as well. In the meantime, 474 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: they are taking more downfield shots with Claypool and with Johnson, 475 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: so you hope maybe the volume picks up, you hope, 476 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: and maybe he breaks a couple of tackles and and 477 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: make something happen. But the way they're using him this 478 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: year just doesn't seem conducive to him having those big seasons, 479 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: are having those big games, and so it's been really frustrating. 480 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: I have Juju and a couple of spots, and it's 481 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,439 Speaker 1: at the point where I'm really starting to give up 482 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: on him and then just put him on the bench. 483 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: But this is a week where maybe you give him 484 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: one last shot and see if maybe the matchup favors 485 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: him and and he comes through for you. Because since 486 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Week one there really has been nothing to to write 487 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: home about with Juju uh And it's in quarterback matchup 488 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: in the NFC South that the Panthers and the Saints. 489 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: Who would you or what would you consider? I should 490 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: say starting Teddy Bridgewater over Drew Brees this week? Yeah, 491 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: I would flat out start Teddy over him. I have 492 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: Teddy is QB thirteen and Breezes QB eighteen this week. 493 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: And the beautiful thing about Teddy this year is he's 494 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: been predictable, Like he has good games and his good 495 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: matchups and let's and and low fantasy points in his 496 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: tougher matchups. And this is a favorable matchup against a 497 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: team that has allowed the most touchdowns to quarterbacks and 498 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: the fourth most fantasy points, so whereas on the other side, 499 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers have allowed the fourth fewest to quarterbacks. So 500 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm going Breeze over I'm sorry, Bridgewater over Breeze, I 501 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: agree with I would take Teddy Be this week over Breeze. Uh. Look, 502 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm still waiting to see what's going to happen with 503 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, although as of Thursday he was sort of 504 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 1: trending in the wrong direction, it seems. But you're right 505 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: that Panthers defense has been really good against quarterbacks and 506 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: receivers this year, whereas it has not been very good 507 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: against running backs. And so look, I think Alc Camara 508 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be huge pretty much every week because he 509 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: is sort of game script proof. They're going to throw 510 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: him the ball offa me too. He's going to run 511 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: the ball when he has to, and against this bad 512 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: Carolina run defense, I think he's gonna have a field day. 513 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: I think even if you're hurting it running back, like 514 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: we talked earlier. Uh and you can put in Latavius 515 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: Murray and I think he's gonna have some decent production 516 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: as well. But Bring is the guy that I would avoid. 517 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: And the Saints have struggled against opposing passing games, so 518 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 1: if you were looking to stream the quarterback position, I 519 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: think you could probably do worse than Teddy Bridgewater in 520 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: Week seven. Speaking of passing games and just offenses in general, 521 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: we know the Cowboys defense is bad, but after what 522 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: we saw on Monday Night football against the Cardinals, how 523 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: are we feeling about this Cowboys offense? Not great? I 524 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: think I'm a little bit. I still have a little 525 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: bit of optimism because it was Andy Dalton's first start 526 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: and the Arizona Cardinals defense has played really well this year, 527 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,959 Speaker 1: so I'm willing to at least have a little bit 528 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: more hope further beyond just that one game. But I 529 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: think right now the only must start in this offense 530 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: is Zeke and there's some panic on him, like people 531 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: are wondering if they should trade him, at least from 532 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: what I'm seeing, I don't think so. Two fumbles yea, 533 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: but eleven targets like that's big, And then I think 534 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup and Ceedee Lamb against the team that has 535 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: allowed the Washington team that has allowed the fewest points 536 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 1: to wide receivers. Right now, I think they're both just 537 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: low end wide receiver twos this week. Uh, Shultz is 538 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: an extremeable tight end. But Michael Gallup Marcus I actually 539 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: said that he's a player you can drop this week. Wow, 540 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, it's funny because we've kind of 541 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: ridden the roller coaster with Michael Gallup. Where he was 542 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: he was bad, or at least he wasn't productive, I 543 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: should say early on in the season. Then he had 544 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: a couple of decent games. Uh, and now maybe he's 545 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: back to being unproductive again because this offense is sort 546 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 1: of remaking itself with Andy Dalton quarterback. I will say that, 547 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: at least for this week, I'm a little bit worried 548 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: about zeke Um. You're starting him like I'm not. I'm 549 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: not saying that you're gonna bench Ezekiel Elliott. But Washington 550 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: has been pretty good against running backs. The the fumble issues. 551 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully this is just kind of a hiccup and this 552 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,400 Speaker 1: isn't gonna become a thing now. But I think he's 553 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: lost four fumbles compared to just to all of last year. 554 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 1: So I am a little bit nervous about Ezekiel Elliott. 555 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: But if you have him, you're you're gonna have him 556 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: in your starting lineup and you're gonna sort of hope 557 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: for the best. I still believe in Ceedee Lamb, I 558 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: still believe in Amari Cooper, and I'm with you on 559 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: the the Dalton schultztin. I'll talk about him a little 560 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. But uh, definitely not 561 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 1: as excited about this cowboy offense as I was a 562 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when Dak Prescott was at that 563 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: was at the Helm, and you know, they were still 564 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 1: putting up thirty thirty five points a game. They're going 565 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: to have to throw the football because that defense isn't 566 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna get any better. But I just don't know that 567 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: the outcomes are going to be quite the same on 568 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: a week to week basis. Last question here, Marvin Jones 569 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: has done a disappearing act. We talked about Juju Smith 570 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: Schuster being being a disappointment. Marvin Jones has been a 571 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: disappointment as well, even though you didn't spend nearly the 572 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: draft capital to add him. But he's got a very 573 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 1: good matchup this week against the Atlanta Falcons. Do you 574 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: give him one last shot before maybe jettison jetisoning him 575 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. Yeah. I was really high on 576 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones coming into this season, and that's been a 577 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 1: huge l Like he's looked pretty washed. He hasn't had 578 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: any really much fantasy production. But I do think this 579 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 1: is a week you can use him. I would stream him, 580 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: but and then throw him back to the waiver wire. 581 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: Like you said, Marcus, the Falcons have allowed the fifth 582 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: most fantasy points per game, the second most receiving yards 583 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: to wide receivers. They're allowing just a ton of fantasy 584 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: points to every position, the ultimate get right game. Like, 585 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: if he can't have a productive week this week, you 586 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: can never trust him again pretty much. And he's got 587 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: fewer receiving yards than Danny Amendola this year, So that 588 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: sort of tells you what we're talking about with Marvin Jones. 589 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got fourteen catches in five games. You 590 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: can do the math. That's fewer than three catches per game. 591 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: It just has not worked out. Now here's the thing. 592 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: The thing we have seen with Marvin Jones in the 593 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: past is once you pretty much give up on him. 594 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: That's when he goes out and he has the three 595 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: touchdown games. So it's probably coming at some point here. 596 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: Hopefully it comes this week when we're all still sort 597 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: of on the Marvin Jones train and we're all still 598 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: sort of believing. But you can just imagine it, you know. 599 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: Here's that it may come in a game like against 600 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: the Bears, right or like nobody is expecting it. Everybody 601 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: is pretty much given up on Marvin Jones and put 602 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: him on the waiver wire on the bench. That's when 603 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: the three touchdown game against Chicago is going to come. 604 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: And body's gonna see it coming except maybe that one 605 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: guy who isn't really paying attention in your league and 606 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: just left his line up static and somehow take advantage 607 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: of it and beats you. That's that's pretty much how 608 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: it's going to happen. But this this really is I 609 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: think a make or break week for Marvin Jones. By 610 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: the way, if you want more on this kind of stuff, 611 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: right up until kickoff, we got you covered me along 612 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: with Michael left Florio Adam Rank toim me checks.

We kick off at noon eastern nine 619 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: am Pacific every Sunday morning. Plan It's time for Best 620 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: Value presented by Draft Kings. Every week we go through 621 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: and try to get you the most bang for your 622 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: daily fantasy bucks. So Michael f Floria, please start us off. 623 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: Who is your best value quarterback for the week. It 624 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: was a lot, but I went with Joe Burrow because 625 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: he was just the cheapest of the bunch of of 626 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: the ones that I liked. And it doesn't hurt that 627 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: to me. It's in the very encouraging sign that his 628 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: best game in the year came against this Brown's defense. 629 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: When he played him previously, had nearly twenty five fantasy points. 630 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: The Browns allowed two hundred and ninety passing yards per game, 631 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: and we know they're gonna let Joe Burrow sling the rock, 632 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: especially if no no Joe mixing this week. So I 633 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: like Burrow against the Browns this week. I'm gonna go 634 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 1: with Teddy Bridgewater, and we talked about him in the 635 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: last segment and what he offers in this game against 636 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. I mean, the Saints really have struggled 637 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 1: against opposing fantasy quarterbacks, have given up the fourth most 638 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: fantasy points per game, and we came into the season 639 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: expecting Bridgewater to kind of be a streaming option. You 640 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: play him when the matchup is right, and the matchup 641 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: is right and the salary is good hundred I will 642 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: certainly take that and try to go big at some 643 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: other spots. All right, switch over to the running backs. 644 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: Who's your back to pick this week? I'm saying David Johnson. 645 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: I know he hasn't lived up to expectations this year. 646 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: He's more of a like safe floor but not really 647 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: high upside play at least so far this year. But 648 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: this week he actually comes with some upside. I think 649 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: the Packers have allowed the most fantasy points per game 650 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: to running backs. That includes allowing an average of seven 651 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: catches over a hundred and sixty total yards, and they've 652 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: given up nine touchdowns are ready to running backs this year, 653 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 1: So I just think there's gonna be lots of opportunity 654 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: there for David Johnson. I do like David Johnson this 655 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 1: week as well, but I went with Justin Jackson going 656 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags has really struggled against 657 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: running backs this season. That run defense has not been 658 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: very good at all. And what we've seen is it 659 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: feels like the Chargers are really trusting Jackson a little 660 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: bit more, maybe because he's been more secure with the 661 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: football compared to Joshua Kelly. He also just seems to 662 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: be more effective running with football than Kelly has this year. 663 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: So I would give him a shot. And he's definitely 664 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: more of the past catcher. I think he definitely slots 665 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: more into that Austin Ekeler type role in that Charger 666 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: backfield and Kelly does, so I would give him a 667 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: chance in my DFS lineups. Wide receiver, who are you 668 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: looking at? Well, Marcus? Last week you would QB water 669 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: receivers stack with Cousins and Justin Jefferson and that worked 670 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: out phenomenally. Kudos to you on that that great call. 671 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 1: So I'm going with a stack myself. This week. I'm 672 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 1: gonna go with Tee Higgins to pair with Joe Burrow 673 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Uh. The Browns have allowed the 674 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: third most fantasy points per game two wide receivers this year, 675 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: and I believe that Higgins is the new Wade receiver 676 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: one here in Cincinnati. Since Week three, he leads them 677 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: in are yards and fantasy points, and in a bunch 678 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: of stats he's second in targets, just behind Tyler Boyd. 679 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: But their neck and neck there, and when they played 680 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: Cleveland the first time, they really were trying to highlight 681 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: A J. Green, So I think they'll try to highlight 682 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins there now as he continues to take over 683 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: that role from Green. Yeah, I still think despite what 684 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: A J. Green did last week, Tee Higgins is still 685 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: the wide receiver to in Cincinnati. I'm gonna welcome back 686 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: Corey Davis, who has been missing. He was on the 687 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen list, but he has been activated and should 688 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: be good to go this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. 689 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: We talked about this on the other side with the 690 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: Steelers wide receivers against the Titans. But for all the 691 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: good things Pittsburgh's defense is done, they have given up 692 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: some yards through the air, so I think there's some 693 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: opportunities for the Titans to throw the football. Ryan Tannehill 694 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: continues to be efficient, and we saw Davis be very 695 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: productive early in the season when A. J. Brown wasn't there. 696 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: So I think this is a chance to sort of 697 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: work him back into the offense, maybe give him some targets, 698 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 1: and I think that look as a value play. I'd 699 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: be willing to take the shot on him for less 700 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: than five thousand dollars under that salary cap. So alright, 701 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: tight ends. We keep talking about tight ends and how 702 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: awful it is to try to dig through there, But 703 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: where are you going for values this week? Just pick 704 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: on the Atlanta Falcons right now. I'm going with t J. 705 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: Hockenson going up against the Falcons, who have allowed the 706 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: second most fantasy points too tight ends and nearly twenty 707 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: one a game. They've allowed a league high seven touchdowns 708 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: to the position. And I think that's the big number there, 709 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: the touchdowns, because Hockinson has scored a touchdown in two 710 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: straight games, and watching them play like it just looks 711 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: like when they get near the end zone and they 712 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: have to, you know, throw those end zone targets, it 713 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 1: looks like a lot of them are gonna go toward 714 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson's way. They like him in the red zone, 715 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: so I like Hockinson has to play here against the Falcons. 716 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Dalton Schultz and you mentioned him 717 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: earlier is maybe a nice streaming play, and I'm gonna 718 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: take the chance and that the Cowboys one want to 719 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: do some things to sort of get Andy Dalton comfortable, 720 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: give him some easy throws. I mean, you're watching here 721 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: on the video the short throws to Dalton Schultz, kind 722 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: of those tight end screens, if you will. The other 723 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: part of it is they are really beat up along 724 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,479 Speaker 1: that offensive line, so I don't know how long they 725 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: can protect and allow Dalton to kind of stand back 726 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: there and survey the field. So it might have to 727 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: be to they get the ball out quickly to Dalton 728 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: Schultz on top of it, But the matchup not terrible 729 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: for him this week, and the Washington's defense has generally 730 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: been pretty good, but they have given up some opportunities 731 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: to the tight end position. So I'd be willing to 732 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: take a shot that Dalton Schultz kind of breaks out 733 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: of what has been a mini slump for him the 734 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. So talking about Dallas against the 735 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: football team. You're going the football team against Dallas for 736 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: your defense. Huh yeah. I just think right now, while 737 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: the Cowboys their offenses sputtering a little bit. We we 738 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,200 Speaker 1: saw last week. You can get pressure on Andy Dalton, 739 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: you could force turnovers against this team, you get some sacks, 740 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: and that is what the Redskins of the football team, 741 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, defense has been doing. They they can get 742 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: after the quarterback, they can stop the run like we 743 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: were talking about, and they've limited wide receivers. So I 744 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: think people may be a phraid seeing that matchup against 745 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but this is not the same offenses when 746 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: they have Dak Prescott. I actually like that pick a 747 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: lot this week. But I'm gonna go with the Cleveland Browns, 748 00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: and I know that you have your your Joe Burrow 749 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: Tee Higgins Stack. I'm going with the Browns just because 750 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, you've seen this right here, Like Miles Garrett 751 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 1: has just been wrecking defenses so far this season, and 752 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 1: even in that game a few weeks ago, Uh, the 753 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: Browns really did harass Joe Burrow and they got in 754 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: his face quite a bit. So I do think they 755 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: can go and get some pressure on him. They can 756 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: get some sacks, maybe force a turnover too. I think 757 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: they can kind of give you some decent production. I think, 758 00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's hard to I think find 759 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: some value picks this week in on the defensive side 760 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: of the football. But I think that the football team 761 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: and I think the Browns are a couple of the 762 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: best options that you fine. So there you go. That 763 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: was the best value presented by Draft Kings. One person's 764 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: fight is never one person's fight. It takes all of 765 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: us to fight cancer.

Every week, you get a pack of 771 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,160 Speaker 1: cards and we pick out the three biggest names we 772 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 1: can find in that pack and we chat about him 773 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: a little bit. So let's start with the guy who's 774 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 1: arguably the biggest star in the NFL quarterback why so 775 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: far this season. That is Russell Wilson, who has just 776 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: been fantastic. He has been cooking all year long for 777 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,640 Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh, interesting game against the Cardinals this week. 778 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: What kind of production are you expecting from Russ? Yeah, 779 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: I have him as my QB four, And I know 780 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 1: I said earlier like the Cardinals defense has been playing 781 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: really well, and they have, but he's still Russell Wilson. Uh, 782 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: is still one of your m v P favorites right now, 783 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,160 Speaker 1: is still your q BE one. So I think unless 784 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: you have, you know, one of him and Mahomes or Kyler, 785 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: you're you're playing Russell Wilson. I'm so excited for this 786 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,800 Speaker 1: game too on Sunday night. Yeah, I'm very excited, and 787 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 1: now we get to see it in prime time as 788 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: opposed to sort of just like in the middle of 789 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: the day. And you're right, Russell Wilson right now is 790 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: the QB four. That keep in mind he's also had 791 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: a by so that is sort of I guess working 792 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: against him if you will, But you see that on 793 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 1: the screen. Twenty plus fantasy points in every game this season. 794 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: He's been fantastic. I think he's gonna continue to be fantastic. 795 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: So I expect him to have another rust day and 796 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,920 Speaker 1: just sort of cook as he always has so far 797 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: this season. All right. Next up it is Packers running 798 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 1: back Aaron Jones, who we keep saying that, you know, 799 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: touchdown regression is a thing, and Aaron Jones basically keeps 800 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: flipping us the bird about it. So, uh, he's got 801 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 1: a great matchup on paper against the Houston Texans. So 802 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: is he the RB one this week? And if not, 803 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: who is he is my RB to this week? My 804 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 1: RB one is the RB one on this season despite 805 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: having a bhio already, It's it's Alvin Kamara. Like he 806 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,320 Speaker 1: gets to Carolina Panthers, who are just you know, allowing 807 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: a ton of fantasy points and catches. But Aaron Jones 808 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: gets the Texans, who also are in the top four 809 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 1: in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Like you said, Marcus, 810 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: he touchdown regression doesn't exist for Aaron Jones. Somehow. He 811 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: just continues to get the job done. So I have 812 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: him as my RB two, but I expect huge numbers 813 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,600 Speaker 1: out of him. I think Aaron Jones going to continue 814 00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: to be great. And you know what's weird about this 815 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:32,840 Speaker 1: is the Packers still don't make him fully a workhorse, 816 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: Like he gets the majority of the snaps and he 817 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: gets the majority of the touches, but they're still working 818 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: in Jamal Williams and every once in a while you 819 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: see a j. Dillon on the field. They have not 820 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: just completely committed to giving that bank field fully to 821 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,439 Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, and he is still going out and doing 822 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: big things. So this is a smash week opportunity for him, 823 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: probably for the Packer offense as a whole, especially after 824 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: they were so disappointing last week against Tampa. This feels 825 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: like a get right game for Aaron Jones, Aaron Rodgers, 826 00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: and pretty much everybody wearing the Green and gold. All right, 827 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,759 Speaker 1: last one it is Rams quarterback Jared Golf. It has 828 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 1: been sort of an up and down you It's weird 829 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: because you know, week to week you look at his 830 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: fantasy numbers and they seem like they're okay, but it just, 831 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't know, just something hasn't quite clicked. It feels 832 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 1: like with Golf in this Rams passing game, would you 833 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 1: consider starting him against the Bears? And what has to 834 00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: happen for you to make that decision. I would not 835 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: want to start him. I would have to be diving 836 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,200 Speaker 1: pretty deep at quarterback and have you know a starter 837 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 1: missing or something, because like like you said, Marcus said, 838 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: hasn't been clicking for golf. The Rams are running the 839 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 1: ball the fourth most in the NFL this year, so 840 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: they're not passing much at all, and it is just 841 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: such a tough matchup against the Bears, who had more 842 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: interceptions than passing touchdowns allowed this season, and they're allowing 843 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: you few as fantasy points to quarterbacks. I think, just 844 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: stay away from Jared Goff right now. He's not even 845 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,439 Speaker 1: in my top twenty quarterbacks. What was really frustrating about 846 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: Golf last week is that the Niners didn't get a 847 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him, and he just missed some 848 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: wide open throws and that was a little bit concerning 849 00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,960 Speaker 1: because he is certainly not going to have I don't 850 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,320 Speaker 1: expect a lot of clean pockets against Khalil Mack and 851 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: the Bears this week, so I would be very concerned, 852 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: and I'm with you. I I would stay away from 853 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: golf and pretty much most formats. I guess if you're 854 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: in a two QB league, then you're starting him. But 855 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: that is about the only way I think I can 856 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: advocate starting Jared Goff in Week seven against the Chicago Bears. 857 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: All Right, that was the best of the back presented 858 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 1: by Panini.

We talked to our pal Matt o'conna, 866 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: and this week we're asking him about some big single 867 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: game wide receiver fantasy performances. Thanks Marcus, we have a 868 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: little different look and aska nerd this week as we 869 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 1: pull up the five best single game performances by a 870 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: wide receiver this millennium. Starting at number five, we have 871 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: a man of many teams and many more catches, Brandon Marshall. 872 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: In Week fourteen, two thousand nine, Marshall hung fifty three 873 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 1: Fantasy points on the coals thanks to a still standing 874 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: NFL record twenty one receptions for two hundred yards and 875 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,239 Speaker 1: two TVs. Number four is receiver with a little less 876 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: name recognition. Drew Bennett of the Tennessee Titans. While Bennett 877 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: never even made a Pro Bowl in his career, he 878 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: did make our list with a two thirty three yard, 879 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: three touchdown fifty three point three fantasy point performance in 880 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: Week fourteen, two thousand four against the Chiefs. Blazing at 881 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: the number three spot is the only active player on 882 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 1: our list Will Fuller. Many of you probably had him 883 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 1: in your lineup when he sloted for fourteen catches, two 884 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,879 Speaker 1: d seventeen yards, three scores and fifty three point seven 885 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: fantasy points in Week five last season. For number two 886 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 1: on our list, we travel back two full decades to 887 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,720 Speaker 1: Week sixteen, two thousand then fort now Hall of Famer 888 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,840 Speaker 1: Terrell Owens wrapped up fifty four point a fantasy points 889 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,399 Speaker 1: on the back of twenty catches and two hundred eighty 890 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: three yards, both a little short of single game records, 891 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 1: And finally, at number one, we have turned of the 892 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: century Jaguar superstar Jimmy Smith. In Week two two thousand, 893 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 1: Smith joined Jerry Rice as the only wine out in 894 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl Air at the top sixty fantasy points 895 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 1: in a game when he posted sixty two point one 896 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: against the Ravens thanks to two nine one yards and 897 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,800 Speaker 1: three scores. Here's open one of your starters joins this 898 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 1: list in week seven until next time. This has been 899 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: asking a nerd and may the Fantasy points be with you. Thanks. 900 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: It's always Matt Drew Bennett. Uh he what was he wants? 901 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,719 Speaker 1: Played volleyball at U C l A and was also 902 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,239 Speaker 1: a quarterback with the Bruins that used to be. That 903 00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,400 Speaker 1: was the early two thousand's version of Ryan Fitzpatrick went 904 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,240 Speaker 1: to Harvard. It just felt like every time Drew Benett 905 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: did something, they would say, you know, he was a 906 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,680 Speaker 1: quarterback at U C l A and he also played volleyball. 907 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: Uh So it's it's just saying to see him making 908 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: it on this list here. But uh, if we're talking 909 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: about wide receivers in Fantasy of the new millennium, uh, 910 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: if you could pick one Fantasy wide receiver who has 911 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: been drafted since the year two thousand, who would you 912 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 1: go with? I almost didn't pick this guy, but then 913 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: I said, I'll feel the issues beat Dan like ongoing 914 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:25,399 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown here, he had a six year stretch where 915 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: he would give you a minimum of a hundred catches, 916 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards and eight touchdowns. I mean that is 917 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: off the chart production for six years to his His 918 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,759 Speaker 1: run was kind of ended abruptly, but still, I mean 919 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,799 Speaker 1: that run, it's one of the best wide receiver runs 920 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,399 Speaker 1: in Fantasy history. You know, I looked at Antonio Brown 921 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,319 Speaker 1: and I really thought about picking him, but instead I'm 922 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna go with Calvin Johnson. Megatron was just phenomenal and 923 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: really retired at the top of his game. I mean, 924 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: he would a string of six straight years where he 925 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: got you over a thousand yards. He was good more 926 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 1: often than not for double digit touchdowns. He had a 927 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,719 Speaker 1: season in twelve with two hundred and four targets, which 928 00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: is just an absurd number either with a hundred two 929 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: catches nineteen hundred yards that year. And the weird part 930 00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,080 Speaker 1: about is I feel like that was the year where 931 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: he led the league of getting tackled inside the five, 932 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: so he only had five touchdowns, but that number could 933 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 1: have been even higher, which would have just been a 934 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: phenomenal season. So I'm gonna go Megatron there. I don't 935 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: feel like there's really a wrong answer here, but I 936 00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,959 Speaker 1: think it speaks to one the way the game has changed, 937 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 1: but also the the quality of Fantasy wide receivers we 938 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: have seen since the year two thousand. Uh, maybe you'll 939 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 1: get one of those performances, one of those big cute 940 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: single game performances this week. Who knows, put them in 941 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:41,120 Speaker 1: your lineup and uh and happy fantasy footballing in Week seven. 942 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,359 Speaker 1: In the meantime for us, that is it. We are done. 943 00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,880 Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football 944 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,399 Speaker 1: Show presented by Draft Kings.
