1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Wednesday, October eleventh, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and

3
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: your man, MG, Marcus Grant joined by Michael F. Florio.

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: We are previewing Thursday Night Football and the early Sunday

5
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: games from week six. So here we are at Florio.

6
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: We have turned to the page. We are into Week

7
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: six and sad trombone man. Because injuries, not only injuries

8
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: are everywhere, but key injuries are everywhere. We just can't

9
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: have nice things.

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wish we could turn injuries off like we

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: were playing Madden or something like that. In my Madden

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 2: season that I did, my starting quarterback got hurt right away.

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: I was like, nope, I'm gonna revert back and start

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: this over again. I wish we could do that right

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: now at week five because it was a rough one. Yeah,

16
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: just hit the reset button and bring some of our

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: fantasy heroes back. Maybe the biggest one Justin Jefferson, who

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: suffered a hamstring injury. He has been placed on injured reserves,

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: so he is out for at least four weeks.

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I say at least because Minnesota is going to evaluate

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: when they get closer to four weeks and determine whether

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: or not he's going to be eligible and able to

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: come back and play. Now we've talked about the options there.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: We know Jordan Addison, kJ Osborne popular off the waiver wire, TJ.

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: Hawkinson should see some more work. But what about the quarterback?

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: Because Kirk Cousins started the season hot, was a QB

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: one for the first few weeks. He's slowed down a

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: little bit, which is to be expected. But now without

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: his number one target, how much should we downgrade Kirk Cousins.

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: I think he becomes a little bit more matchup dependent,

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: but like I still have him as a start this

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: week against the Chicago Bears, who allow a bunch of

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: pass game production. They allow a lot of points each week,

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: and Cousins has been very safe so far this year,

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: multiple passing touchdowns in every game, two hundred and eighty

36
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: yards or more in all but one game. And then

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: it's his defense as well. They give up so many

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: points points each week that Cousins is always having to throw.

39
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: I think he becomes a little bit less sturdy, but

40
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: I still like him in the right matchup, and I

41
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: think this week is the right one.

42
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he sort of floats back to

43
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: that fringe QB one position, which is kind of where

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,839
Speaker 1: we were drafting him. That's kind of what he's been

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: for a long time.

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: Now.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: The thing that works in his favor is that the

48
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: Vikings defense stinks and they're going to give up points,

49
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: which means he's going to have to throw the football

50
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: a lot. So it could be more of a volume

51
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: situation versus an efficiency situation for Kirk Cousins. Uh As

52
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: my father used to say all the time, they don't

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: ask how, they ask how many. I just want to

54
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: know what the end result is going to be, even

55
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: if it's not pretty. On the way to getting there.

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: In Miami, Devon a. Chen was making a serious run

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: at becoming the waiver wire pickup of the year, the

58
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy rookie of the year. Now he is on injured

59
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: reserve as well because of a knee injury. Now where

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: he mostert or as people are calling him, where he

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: must start. You know, he's going to get a whole

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity. But Jeff Wilson is eligible to come

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: back and play. We'll see if he actually does suit

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: up for the Dolphins this week and let's say he

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: is where are you willing to rank him?

66
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: He would come in as an RB three for me,

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: which means he's more of a flex option. The upside

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 2: is clearly there. Like I talked on Fantasy Live today saying,

69
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: if I missed out on Jeff Wilson Junior, I wanted

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: to go out and try to get Savon Auchman in

71
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 2: some of my deeper leagues, just because I want exposure

72
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: to the Miami Dolphins offense and its particularly to their backfield.

73
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 2: Raheem Mostert hasn't always shown to be the most durable,

74
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: but for Jeff Wilson, it's if he plays, it's his

75
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: first game back, always worry if they're gonna be on

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 2: a snapcount or limited touches, anything along those lines. He's

77
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: kind of just like a boom or bust flex play

78
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: for me this week.

79
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's sort of what it is.

80
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: And I had the feeling that the way a Chan

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: was playing with Raheem Mostert there, Wilson was gonna have

82
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: a hard time getting touches had all three guys been healthy.

83
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: But he does get some opportunity now that a Chan

84
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: is out for at least four weeks, will see how

85
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: much longer potentially after that, So he should be picked up.

86
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: He should be added to rosters. He will get some opportunities.

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go on a limb and say he's not

88
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: going to average twelve point one yards per carry. Bold statement,

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm willing to stand by that. But

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: he should be on rosters, and if you're in a

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: deeper league, he does have some flex appeal for a

92
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy managers. More bad running back news, James

93
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Connor is also on injured reserve. He is also dealing

94
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: with a knee injury, much like davon A chan A.

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Mari de Mercado is a name that was very popular

96
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: the last week or so. He's going to get a

97
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: lot of love on waiver wires. I guess I should

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: also talk about Keante Ingram, who missed the last couple

99
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: of weeks with a neck injury but could play this week.

100
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Do you have any faith in either one of those

101
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: guys For the Cardinals, it.

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: Would be day Mercado who spoiler alert, he's going to

103
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: be part of flex. I forget about this week just

104
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: I mean he has a name made for that segment.

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: But last week played, seventy seven percent of the snaps,

106
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: ten carries, ran twenty four routes, had three targets. And

107
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: that's the thing. Even if Ingram was to suit up,

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: and if not, maybe Tony Jones could get some work there,

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if we see them split the groundwork.

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: But I think, uh, de Mercado is the fact that

111
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: they are going to trust in the past game situations.

112
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: He is the cardinal running back that I feel best about.

113
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: Ingram if he suits up to me is more just

114
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: like a deep league option right now.

115
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know that Ingram got some work the

116
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: first couple of weeks, but that was also I think

117
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: before James Connor got fully up to speed, because once

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: we got to like week three or four, it became

119
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: the James Connor show here. And obviously I know, you

120
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: know Ingram's been out for a couple of weeks with

121
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: an injury. I think, best case scenario, this is going

122
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: to be a committee. When it was James Connor, they

123
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: were just heavily leaning on James Connor. I don't see

124
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: that for either De Mercado or Ingram. I know there's

125
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: been some debate on social media website dot com about

126
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: which guy you want to pick up. I have sort

127
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: of been in the de mercado camp. I would not

128
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: argue with you if you made the move for Keyonte Ingram.

129
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: I think both will have some opportunity. Abough both might

130
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: end up being sort of disappointing unless the Cardinals can

131
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: do a whole lot offensively. So we will see in

132
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the meantime, get well soon. Everybody, Jefferson, chen Connor and

133
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: everybody else out there who's dealing with an injury, get

134
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: healthy soon. We want to see you back on the

135
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: field and selfishly back in our fantasy lineups. Let's get

136
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: to Thursday Night Football Show. We've got the Broncos and

137
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, an old school AFC West AFL matchup even

138
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: as well eight fifteen pm Eastern. You can see that

139
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: game on Prime Video. The Broncos have a lot wrong

140
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: with them. I don't know that the passing game is

141
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: part of it. Russell Wilson is playing very well right now. Now.

142
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: The wide receivers have been sort of a crap shoot

143
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: in terms of fantasy. If you were going to pick

144
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: a Broncos wide receiver for this week, which one do

145
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: you feel most comfortable with.

146
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: The true answer is none. But if I had to

147
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,119
Speaker 2: pick any it would be Jerry Judy, who I will

148
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: just say I have as a sit this week. But

149
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: he is coming off of one of his better games

150
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: this season. The issue is everything you said, Marcus. They

151
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: spread the ball out so much in Denver. We've seen

152
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: some Judy weeks. We've seen some Courtland Sutton weeks. Judy

153
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: every week is giving you somewhere between five and thirteen

154
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 2: Fantasy points. So the floor isn't all that high. The

155
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 2: ceiling is like a wide receiver three. I know the

156
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: thinking is maybe they're gonna throw the ball and being

157
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: ketchup mode this week, but the Chiefs have been pretty

158
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: stingy against wide receivers, and I refuse to let the

159
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: Marvin Mims dream die.

160
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: We don't want to let the Marvin Mims dream die.

161
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: The problem is Sean Payton won't let it live. That's

162
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: sort of an issue. Sean Payton won't just put him

163
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: on the field. I am going to side with Jerry

164
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Judy in this one. And you know he got off

165
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: to a slow start, but I think some of the

166
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: issue is that he wasn't completely healthy. We saw him

167
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: have that hamstring injury near the end of the preseason

168
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: and it started to creep into I think the first

169
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: week or two of the year. I think he's starting

170
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: to get healthier right now. And you look at his

171
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: utilization over the last few weeks. The routes run are

172
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: really really high. The target percent life last week he

173
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: had nearly a thirty percent target share targets per route

174
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: run right around twenty percent. So they're starting to use

175
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: him more. And I think we've seen sort of who

176
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton is. As I mentioned, they just you know,

177
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: they won't let Marvin Mims be a thing there in Denver.

178
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: So Jerry Judy is the guy that I think you want.

179
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to be the person that

180
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: you thought he was going to be this year, but

181
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I do think he's going to be better than he

182
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: has been the first few weeks of the season. Speaking

183
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: of a person who hasn't been who we thought they

184
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: were and has been way better. Isaiah Pachecko. So let's

185
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: do more or less seventy and a half rushing yards

186
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: for mister angry run himself, Isaiah Pichecko against that terrible, terrible,

187
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: terrible Broncos defense.

188
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: So it is funny to me that he's only top

189
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: that number once.

190
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't care.

191
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm taking over for Isaiah Pichecko in this one. The

192
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: Broncos have allowed by far the most rushing yards and

193
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns to running backs this season. I have Isaiah Pichecko

194
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: as a start largely because one he's been really better

195
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: than we anticipated, like he said, but also just Denver Broncos,

196
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 2: and this is a game where I expect the Chiefs

197
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: to have a lead, which means probably Pacheco grunning out

198
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: the clock in the second half.

199
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: I think he goes way over that seventy and a

200
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: half rushing yards against this Broncos defense. He doesn't really

201
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: have breakaway speed. I'd say he could do it maybe

202
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: on one play, but I don't know that he has

203
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: the breakaway speed necessarily to get it done. But he'll

204
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: just continue to grind and grind and grind. A fun

205
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: fact that we have used on Fantasy Live a couple

206
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: times this week, four of five running backs to face

207
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: the Broncos this season have set a career high in

208
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. The one guy who didn't was Khalil Herbert,

209
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: and he only scored the second most Fantasy points in

210
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: a single game in his career. So just in case

211
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: you needed context for how bad the Broncos defense has been,

212
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: there you go. All right, So that's Thursday Night football.

213
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the Sunday slate of games.

214
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Week six is upon us two teams on a by

215
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: just two one two. Next week is when by apocalypse happens.

216
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: Why the NFL can't just spread this out and make

217
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: it even I don't know, but I just get paid

218
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: to talk about fake football. The rest of that stuff's

219
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: above my pay grade. Packers and Steelers are off this week.

220
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: There is another game in London Town. It is the

221
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens and the Tennessee Titans. And it has not

222
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: been a great start for Derrick Henry, but he is

223
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: over there in England where they do believe in royalty.

224
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: How worried should we be about the King this week? Okay?

225
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: I think we should be more worried about Derreck Henry

226
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: than we have ever been in the last like five

227
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: years or so. Not worried enough to pull him from

228
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: your starting lineup or anything like that. Like you look

229
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: at Week five, their usage. Derek Henry played fifty nine

230
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: percent in the snaps ta J. Spears fifty three percent.

231
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: It was thirteen carries for Henry seven for Spears, but

232
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 2: Spears had more routes, ran and targets, finished with a

233
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: little bit more yards and scored the touchdown. It is worrisome.

234
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: There's never been another back since maybe Dion Lewis that

235
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: has taken volume away like this from Derrick Henry. It

236
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 2: lowers the floor and the ceiling for Derreck Henry. But

237
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: what we've seen is he still has the capability of

238
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: putting up twenty points on a given week, which is

239
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 2: why I think he still gets so much volume each week.

240
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: You gotta start the king. Maybe he'll even throw another

241
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: touchdown he almost did for a second straight game last week.

242
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: I would be totally down with that. I mean, I'm

243
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: sort of with you though. Right there are some worrisome

244
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: trends about Derrick Henry, But in the end, I'm not

245
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: going to not start him. When do you think I

246
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: am crazy? The fact is he's still getting the majority

247
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: of the rushing attempts there, right, That is still his job,

248
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: and he's getting these short down and distance work. He's

249
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: getting the goal line work when they get close, which

250
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: unfortunately is not a lot. Because the Titans offense has

251
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: been on the struggle bus this year. It's going to

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry there, so I still think you can believe

253
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: in him right now. I would like I mean, look,

254
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. I would like for teams

255
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: to not just put eight people in the box when

256
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: they know he's going to run. I looked at up

257
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: forty four percent of the time there are eight or

258
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: more defenders in the box for a Derrick Henry run.

259
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Compared that to eighteen and a half for Taja Spears.

260
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: So maybe if you look at some of those yards

261
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: per carry average, that's something maybe you want to keep

262
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: in mind when you talk about that. All right, Commanders

263
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: at the Falcons. The Falcons they can throw the football.

264
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: They actually did it well last week. The Commanders they

265
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: throw out a lot, even maybe when they shouldn't. Which

266
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: pass catchers do you feel good about in this game?

267
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 2: Not the ones that we were thinking we would feel

268
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: good coming like I have Tery McLaurin as a sit

269
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: this week. I think he's just purely a boom or

270
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: bust wide receiver. Three. I don't love the matchup. I

271
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: feel dirty saying this. I like Drake London a little bit.

272
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: In this game, the Commanders have allowed the most yards

273
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: to wide receivers, out wide wide receivers on the deep

274
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: ball to wide receivers. So if there's ever a week

275
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: where hopefully they could get Drake London going, it is

276
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: this one. The tight ends I think are in play

277
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: here as well. Curtis Samuel is like a deep League sleeper.

278
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 2: Besides that, I'm good.

279
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: I say I would give I like Curtis Samuel as

280
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: a sleeper. This week you mentioned Drake London. I mean

281
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: he's starting to get some more work, getting some more

282
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: consistent opportunity. Fun fact, I learned from the Monster research

283
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: packet that our team puts out every single week in

284
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: his career. When Kyle Pitts has eighty or more receiving

285
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: yards in a game, the Atlanta Falcons are six and oh,

286
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm out. Can we clip that and send that to

287
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons social media team and maybe it somehow trickles

288
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: into Arthur Smith's office. When Kyle Pitts has eighty or

289
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: more receiving yards in a game, the Falcons are six

290
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: and to zho presented without comment. So I want to

291
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: believe in him, but I do think that they sort

292
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: of are gassing us up after last week. He got

293
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: all those targets last week, and they're gassing us up

294
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, Kyle Pitts is a thing now

295
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: and then like Lucy with the football, you're gonna pull

296
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: it away. We're gonna fall on our butts.

297
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith would hear that clip and be like, yeah,

298
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: but you want to see me do it without using

299
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts, Like that's just the kind of guy.

300
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: Right, Like, hey, let's make things harder on ourselves, all right?

301
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Vikings at the Bears a classic matchup in the NFC North.

302
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: I almost had NFC Central, which would have been showing

303
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: my age the NFC North. Who are you not starting

304
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: in this game?

305
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: I'm starting both quarterbacks. I think DJ moorees they must start.

306
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 2: I'm starting Addison and Osbourne. The tight ends are both

307
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: must starts in my opinion. I think Roshawn Johnson is

308
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: in play as long as he can play. If not,

309
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: I'll go to deoncee Foreman, even Alexander.

310
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: Like he's starting cam Akers?

311
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 2: No, okay, cam Akers in the defense. Is that's who

312
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm sitting in this game?

313
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, I think that's pretty much it. I'm

314
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: like looking for wide receivers like Darnell Mooney.

315
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting away from this.

316
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Kind of a deep sleeper. But he's a tough start,

317
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: mostly because when Justin Fields throws the ball, it's going

318
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: to one of two places. It's DJ Moore, it's Cole Comet.

319
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: That's if someone else at a Bears uniform catches a football,

320
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: it's probably on accident. Like, I don't think they meant

321
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: for that to happen. So you can start their pass catchers.

322
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see which running backs get most of

323
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: the work. I know we've been sort of trying to

324
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: decide between you know, Roshawn Johnson deonce Foreman. Now that

325
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert is out for a few weeks, so we'll

326
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: see sort of how that goes. But these are two

327
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: defenses that give up a lot of yards and a

328
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: lot of points.

329
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: To put your point into perspective. Last week, Justin Fields

330
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: through for two hundred and eighty two yards and four touchdowns.

331
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: More and Comet combined for two hundred and seventy two

332
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: yards and four touchdowns.

333
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: Who had those other ten yards in there?

334
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: Robert Tunyan, Oh, Bobby tons.

335
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Tons of fun getting in there after that. But so

336
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you just can't trust a pass catcher that's

337
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: not Dj Moore or Cole Commit. Fun times and more

338
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Week six game previews next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

339
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Week six game previews, starting

340
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati with the Seahawks and the Bengals. In last week,

341
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: we weren't sure about what to do with Joe Burrow.

342
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: Then he went out and dropped three bills and three

343
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns and it looks like the CAF is actually going

344
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: to be okay. So are we starting Joe Burrow this week? Yes?

345
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: And last week I said that I need to see

346
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow look like Joe Burrow again. And some of

347
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: you got in my mentions this week and were like,

348
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: how could you tell me not to start a quarterback

349
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: that was averaging eight points per game? Some to you

350
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: if you wanted to roll the dice there, But I

351
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: said in the article last week, if he has a

352
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: good game, you should feel good about it because that

353
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: means you could get him back into your lineup going forward.

354
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: And the Seahawks do give up a lot of pass

355
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 2: game production. They get more pressure than the Cardinals do,

356
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: so I am still a little worried if there's a

357
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: safe floor here. But it wasn't just the stats he

358
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 2: put up last week, Marcus. It was the fact that

359
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: he was able to move around in the pocket and

360
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 2: avoid pressure, even scrambled on a play. Looked healthier than

361
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: in any game so.

362
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: Far the season. That's the thing that I took away

363
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: from it. It was just the little things. Because you know,

364
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: I was saying I think the Bengals are back, and

365
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people were like, well, they played the Cardinals.

366
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: I was like, I get it. It's not so much

367
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: the results, although the results were great, it was little things, right.

368
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: It was just watching him slide around the pocket by

369
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: himself time, move up, move back. You mentioned the scrambles.

370
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: It's those little things because when we saw him against

371
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the Rams on Monday night, he couldn't do any of

372
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: those things. It was hard to watch. And the fact

373
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: that he can do that by himself time, that's what

374
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: makes me think he's healthy again, that the calf is

375
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: less of a problem, and that he's going to be

376
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,959
Speaker 1: more like Joe Burrow moving forward. So yes, Star Joe

377
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: Burrow against the Seahawks defense.

378
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers at the Browns.

379
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: The Niners coming off a thumping of the Dallas Cowboys,

380
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: and the offense looked great against that Cowboys defense. They

381
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: will have an equally big challenge against a very very

382
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: good Browns defense, also coming off a bye. So two questions,

383
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: are the forty nine ers matchup proof? And can you

384
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: start any Browns except that Mariy Cooper Keeping in mind

385
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: that we don't know what Deshaun Watson's going to do.

386
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: He may not play this week.

387
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the forty nine ers are matchup proof

388
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: right now. Like Brock Pardy, I was questioning him last week.

389
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: I thought the Cowboys were going to be a huge

390
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: test for him, and he went out and had his

391
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: best matters the game of the season by far, and

392
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: he has looked healthier as the season progressed. I think

393
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: a lot of us kind of overlook the fact that

394
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 2: he had offseason elbow surgery and the first two weeks.

395
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Maybe we're a little slow. Brandon Ayuk is a monster play.

396
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: You got to play them each week. Deebo might not

397
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 2: have the safest floor, but the upside is there each week.

398
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: And that's the same thing with Kittle, who is a

399
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: tight end and Christian McCaffrey. Obviously, it must start their defense.

400
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: It must start as well. For the Browns. I have

401
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: Deshan Watson as a sit. I have David and Joku

402
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: as a sit. I have Jerome Ford as a sit.

403
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 2: I think Elijah Moore is maybe in play in deeper leagues.

404
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper is the only Brown that I would want.

405
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: To play though this. Yeah, I can't think of any

406
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: Browns that I really want any part of against the

407
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers defense right now, you're not.

408
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: Playing their defense either.

409
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: You're not playing their defense just because you know who

410
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: knows what's going to happen. I mean, the way the

411
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 1: Niners marched up and down the field on the Cowboys

412
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: makes it feel like you can't really start a defense

413
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: against this group right now. I'll say this, Look, brock

414
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: Perty is in play, I think as a fringe QB

415
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: one this week. You know you're starting Christian mccaff obviously,

416
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: you're starting Brandon Ayuk. You know, I think Deebo Samuel

417
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: can be played in deeper leagues. I'm you know, I

418
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel about George Kittle right because

419
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: in some ways yet it hasn't been great aside from

420
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: the game last Sunday, So like, statistically you think you

421
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: could get away from him, but also you spent a

422
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: relatively high draft pick on him considering the position, and

423
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: considering the position is so shallow, it's hard to get

424
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: away from him. But I wouldn't be surprised if you know,

425
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: Kittle goes back to being underwhelming again this week, just

426
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: because there's so many places to go with the ball?

427
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: Would you play Kittle or Logan Thomas?

428
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: I play Kittle just because I like the offense and.

429
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: That's the top streaming tight end. I would say off

430
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: the waiver wires, so you're probably starting.

431
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 1: Kid, So you're probably starting George Kittle. Then all right,

432
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: I'm glad we settled that. Saints and the Texans, the

433
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: question we seem to get every week is something about

434
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: Nico Collins and or Tank Dell. So what do we

435
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: do with the Texans wide receivers? And I guess what

436
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: do we would Damian Pierce for that matter.

437
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: I think that Texans wi like Nico Collins has to

438
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 2: be in play. I know he's had two down weeks

439
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: in the last three weeks, but let's not overlook the

440
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: fact that the other three games he has been very good,

441
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: and in two of them he probably won you year

442
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: week single handedly. Tank Dell has two really big weeks

443
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: as well. And one thing me and you have spent

444
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: time recently talking about on this podcast is that with

445
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: wide receivers there's always going to be variants because so

446
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: much goes into play with is the quarterback going to

447
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: hit them? Is there going to be protection for the

448
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 2: quarterback to be able to get in the ball, all

449
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: of that stuff. But the upside is too high, I

450
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: think to really get away from Nico Collins and even

451
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: Tank Dell. I think is in play Damian Pierce. It

452
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: depends on your option. Like in one league, I'm sitting

453
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: him because I have Alvin Kamara and Kyen Williams. I

454
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: have to decide if I want to flex him or

455
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper. That's actually the Fantasy Live league. But if

456
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 2: you have options, the Saints are stingy against running backs,

457
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: so I think you can get away.

458
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,199
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know that i'd start Damian Pierce if

459
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: I had other options. That you may not depending on

460
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: how you drive this year, so that might not be

461
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: a choice for you. If I could, though, I probably

462
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: keep him on the bench. I'm with you, though, you

463
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: keep starting Nico Collins and you keep starting Tank Dell

464
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: because we've seen CJ. Stroud go out and be effective

465
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: in pretty much every matchup he's had, and understanding that

466
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: one look, I know you're upset when Nico Collins doesn't

467
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: put up a big number or Tank Dell does, but

468
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: think about where you drafted them. These are guys that

469
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: you drafted as fifth wide receivers. They were depth plays.

470
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: They weren't supposed to be in your lineup every single week.

471
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that everything you get as a

472
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: bonus out of them, but understand that there are going

473
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: to be ups and downs, and we keep saying it

474
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: every week. So they've been so good, why would you

475
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: get away from them? Now? Colts and the Jaguars, we

476
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: talked earlier in the week about Anthony Richardson with the

477
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. He's been placed on injured reserves, so we

478
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: know he's gone for at least four weeks. But Jonathan

479
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: Taylor and Zach Moss real true dilemma in the backfield.

480
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: What are you doing with those guys?

481
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: I think they're both in play this week. I knows

482
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: dominated volume last week, but it's another week now that

483
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 2: Taylor is back with the team going to be practicing

484
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: back acclimated with that offense, so I think we're gonna

485
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: see him get a larger workload. I think with Anthony

486
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: Richardson out, we could also see one just more straight

487
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: carries for the running backs. There's not going to be

488
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: nearly as many designed quarterback runs for Garner Minshew. I

489
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: also think Gardner Minshew is more likely to dump it

490
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: off more, which is a big thing because the Jaguars

491
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: struggle against pass catching running backs. So what I said

492
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: in the Startum cinem article is that neither one of

493
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 2: them bring a safe floor, but I think the upside

494
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: makes them both RB twos or flex options on your team.

495
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: I think so, And like I'm curious to see how

496
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 1: the usage sort of reverses itself in the next couple

497
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: of weeks, because obviously Jonathan Taylor was not in game shape.

498
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since he played in an

499
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: actual professional football game, and it's going to take him

500
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: some time to get back up to speed. But when

501
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: he does, I mean, let's just be honest. For as

502
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: well as zag Moss has played, Jonathan Taylor is a

503
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: better football player. Forget the salaries. He's just a better

504
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: football player, and eventually you're going to want the better

505
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: player to be on the field and getting more opportunities.

506
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: So Zach Moss is going to kind of fade a

507
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: little bit to the background as Jonathan Taylor gets more touches.

508
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: Maybe this week it's a little bit closer to even

509
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: I think you can start both of them, but understand

510
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: the change is coming, and it's coming probably really soon.

511
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: Panthers at the Dolphins talked a little bit about what's

512
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: happening in that backfield with Devon a chan On injured reserves.

513
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: So simple question, do you start Jeff Wilson if he

514
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: suits up?

515
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: It depends on your options. But after seeing what Jonathan

516
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 2: Taylor was limited to last week in his first game

517
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: back off of a month layover coming back from injury,

518
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit more scared with Jeff Wilson and

519
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: he is in nowhere close to the running back that

520
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor is. So for me, I want Wilson on

521
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: my roster, I said earlier, I want Savon Achmed on

522
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: my roster. I'd actually if Wilson sits, I probably feel

523
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: better about starting Achmed than I do Wilson, because I

524
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised to Zach Wilson is just sorry. Jeff Wilson.

525
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 2: It's just kind of eased into things. Zach Wilson. It's

526
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: over for him.

527
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, we're not starting him, but Jeff Wilson possibly starting.

528
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: I think that's deeper leagues, right, And that's like a

529
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: flex option. That is, I lost some running backs. I

530
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: maybe have a couple guys on a buy and I

531
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: just need some running back help. But chances are if

532
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: you want to get Jeff Wilson, you probably have other

533
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: guys too, So that might be what you're doing, at

534
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: least for this week. Going forward, we'll reevaluate. That's sort

535
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: of how things work here. That'll do it for this

536
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Stay happy, safe

537
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: and healthy, do good, and live well. We'll be back

538
00:24:36,359 --> 00:25:07,480
