WEBVTT - RB Questions and Week 6 Waiver Wire Moves

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Wow, everybody, It's Tuesday, October twenty twenty four. Welcome to

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We're stuck remembering tg IM.

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>It's me and your man named g Marcus Grant, joined

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>by Michael f Florio and LaQuan Jones. I never told

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you guys that I have beef with Steve Burkle, Like,

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he knows that. But what yes, it'd random. Yeah,

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>this goes back to college. There was a college night

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>at a local amusement park and my friends and I

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>were in line for a roller coaster and Julia White

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>and his friends came walking up the exit ramp and

0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>got in front of everybody and got on the ride

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.239
<v Speaker 1>and wave and smiled. And one of my friends had

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>some that nice things to say to Steve Brkle as

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the as the trainer was pulling out of the station.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>That is neither here nor there.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>Definitely in real life thought he was Stefan, not Steve Stefan.

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's kind of He's gotta giving up Stefan Erkle

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>vibe or kel vibes that day. Oh, by the way, CJ.

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>McCollum Stefan Urkel same person as far as I'm concerned anyway,

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I did not. We'll start to show that way, but

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that is where we are. We are through five weeks

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of the season. We got some big questions heading into

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>week six, also our waiver wire deep dives and folks

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>that we are putting back into the free agent pool.

0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>But let's start with some big running back questions. The

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>last few weeks, I've kind of gone just general, but

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>this week there were some interesting running back discussions. I

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>think we're worth having. So I listed three running backs

0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>that I have questions about and curious whether or not

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.320
<v Speaker 1>you guys feel the same. Florida. Let's start with Breeze

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Hall because in the conversation between did you draft Breeze

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Hall or do you draft Bjon Robinson? The argument in

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>favor of Hall was he doesn't have as much competition

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>in the backfield for touches, right like Jon Robinson's got

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to deal with Tyler alg Who's gonna take touches from

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Brece Hall. Apparently Braylan Allen was the answer to that.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 1>On top of it, Breeze Hall has just not been

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>all that efficient with his opportunities. Is it time to

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.839
<v Speaker 1>be concerned about a guy that was maybe a top

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.279
<v Speaker 1>three pick in your league.

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.119
<v Speaker 2>A little bit, but I'm not panicking until I see

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 2>next week because Breece Hall still played over seventy percent

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>of the snaps, which you want. The issue is the

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Jets were trailing, and for much of this game it

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>was a multi score game, so they had to just

0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:32.919
<v Speaker 2>completely abandon the run. It was very poor game script.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>But next week they get the Bills. And I know

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>it might sound like I'm picking on my team or whatever,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>but before week five, I was like, hey, if you're

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>in a deep league and you need a sleeper dari

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Ogumbawalle because the Bills get torched by past catching running backs.

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>And I think Brece Hall is in play obviously, but

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.360
<v Speaker 2>Braylen Allen I think is a sleeper in week six.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>So if Breese Hall goes out next Monday night and

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 2>has another game like this, then you could catch me worried.

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>But I would say right now is probably a good

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>time to try to acquire Breshall more than anything else.

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there's a lot of nervousness there. I mean,

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 1>so I'll say this, Lukuan, should we pick up should

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 1>we be rostering Braylan Allen at this point?

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, only because of how productive he is on the ground,

0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 3>and he's kind of taken on that role these last

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>couple of weeks, and you know, you're still hopeful that

0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 3>bries Hall still gets his touches in the red zone.

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 3>He's still seeing the targets out of the backfield. But

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 3>I love the explosion if out of Brandon Allen when

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 3>he does make his way, you know, through the tackles.

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 3>So I think he's definitely worth him to pick up

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 3>if he's going to be getting these type of touches,

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 3>if he's going to be as productive with the limited

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>opportunities he's getting, I don't see why you wouldn't go

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 3>pick him up, being that, you know, he's a productive

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>running back that's actually getting some type of time share.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 3>So I definitely think, you know, in the coming weeks,

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, we'll actually understand and figure out what that

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.600
<v Speaker 3>dynamic really is between Breese Hall and Braylen Allen, because

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 3>right now it's still trying to figure out what's exactly

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 3>going on because Briest Hall just has not been great

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 3>on the ground the last couple of weeks, and I

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 3>can't believe that, you know, for the rest of the season.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 3>This is how it's gonna look.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>The Jets offense is borderline dysfunctional at this point, but

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>there's so much talent it's hard to get away from them.

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Spoiler alert, Braylon Allen's gonna be in a sleeper column

0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>this week. You can check that out at NFL dot

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>com slash Sleepers. Okay, so we talked about Breeze Hole Lacan,

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>let's stuck keep it here with you. Let's talk about

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>b Jeon Robinson because, Uh, last Thursday night, it seemed

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>like everybody was getting in the fun right. Drake London

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>was doing things, Kyle Pitts is doing things, Kirk Cousins

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>putting up huge numbers, Ray Ray McCloud and Darnell mood

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>or dude Jon Robinson. He was the he was the

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>squidward meme, just sitting in the house watching SpongeBob and

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:43.480
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Frolick. Uh, is this is this kind of a

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>minor thing or is there an issue going on there

0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta?

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna say minor only because you know, everybody was

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.800
<v Speaker 3>quick to remind me that, you know, he was on

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 3>a short week, he was kind of banged up, and

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 3>et cetera.

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Et cetera.

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:56.760
<v Speaker 3>But I'm just going to toss it to that. But

0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, Hala Jear's not going away anytime soon.

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 3>He's definitely gonna be involved in this backfield. He's going

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>to get the touches, He's he going to get the opportunities,

0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 3>and you can't knock a player making the best of

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.760
<v Speaker 3>his opportunities. He's taking the maximum effort on every touch

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 3>he gets. But Bijon, more so like they need to

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 3>stop running him outside and more inside the tackles because

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's where he's really explosive and he

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 3>gets downhill and then he can get into open space

0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>and due to things that he's able to do that

0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 3>we know and in love but the highlight tapes. But

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.280
<v Speaker 3>more so, man, I am just going to be a

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>little bit cautious, you know, in the next coming weeks

0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 3>with his production, because since week two, this fantasy points

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 3>had just been dropping and dropping. Outside of the short week,

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 3>outside of the injury and et cetera, et cetera. It's

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 3>just more so just keeping an eye on it, you know,

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>in these next couple of weeks. But I think he

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.640
<v Speaker 3>is due for a bounce back this upcoming week.

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean exact Floyd don't. I don't really

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>know where I go. I mean because Week three thirty

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>one rushing yards, Week four twenty eight, I mean he

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>had sixty one in Week five. But it just feels

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:56.159
<v Speaker 1>like the usage is inconsistent.

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think, look, Wan hit the nail on the

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>head that like, if there's something, it's not like it's

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 2>all Kumbayau over here or whatever. But this one game

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>in particular, it's a trend that I've I've started looking

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>into a little bit more. Is like it seems like

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>teams are on Thursday Night are wanting to distribute the

0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 2>running back touches a little bit more. Like Devon hen

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>had twenty two on a Thursday night game, but like

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 2>James Cook only had eleven carries. We saw on the

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 2>other side for the Bucks, neither one of their guys

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.679
<v Speaker 2>had more than ten carries in Week four. The Giants

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>were getting in Gray and Tracy with Devin Singletary is

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 2>still playing at that point, So like this is something

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>that maybe you just we just have to lower our expectations.

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 2>It seems like this could be a new trend around

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>the NFL for Thursday night games.

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Also Florio. Should we be alarmed about Travis Etn? I

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>know we talked about Tank Bigsby on Monday's show. He

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 1>is ascending. Does this mean that ETN is going to

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>continue to disappoint.

0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm very worried about Travis Etn to the point I

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>have a team that I share with the two good

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 2>friends of mine, and we have Travis ETN and we

0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.760
<v Speaker 2>have Tank Bigsby because we were like, let's take the handcuff.

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a deep league. Stuff like this.

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 2>I sent texted our group yesterday. I sent them a

0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>message and said, should we start Tank Bigsby over ETN?

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Moving forward?

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Because this is numerous weeks in a row where Bigsby

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>has looked great and ETN looks like he's running in mud.

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he doesn't have a game this year with

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.800
<v Speaker 2>fifteen Fantasy points and even more than that. Besides, like

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>he is this past week where he got involved in

0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:37.200
<v Speaker 2>the passing game, but really before that, he doesn't have

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 2>any other game.

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>With twenty receiving yards.

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna pose the question to you guys, because

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm just like, is it time where I know, I

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 2>know we're lowering ETN and our rankings and everything. But

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.520
<v Speaker 2>if you have both of them, are you putting any

0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>consideration in like maybe Bigsby is the one to play

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>or have we not got there yet?

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't gotten there yet. I definitely think there's something

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to be concerned about. I think certainly we've seen Bigsby

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>be the more efficient of the two backs, especially the

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks. I'm not sure that the Jaguars

0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>are ready to completely flip the script and make Bigsby

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>there RB one, So I'm not ready to do that yet,

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>but I I'm with you, I'm really concerned about what

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I've seen lately.

0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 3>I think next week will be the last and final

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 3>test for me if I'm gonna be like, Okay, I'm

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 3>starting Tank because the matchup is against the Barton it's

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 3>a great matchup, and Travis ATN doesn't show up and

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.440
<v Speaker 3>put up big numbers after being a week removed from

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 3>the shoulder entry. It's like, well, if Tank's performing against

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 3>the matchups, and I'm gonna play him based on matchups.

0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's gonna be you know, a little eye opening,

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, moving forward after next week?

0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I guess, you know, we'll see how

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it goes. But this is Uh, I don't know. I

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>think at the start of the season, I was like, well,

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Think Bigsby struggled to figure out his

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>role last year. I don't know if he's gonna get it. Ah. Yeah,

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 1>apparently he's gonna get a big role, gonna get a

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>big opportunity, and he has done really, really well with it.

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So now it's a real conversation down there in Jack. Say,

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.400
<v Speaker 1>look at the Waiver Wire Deep Dives. We went through

0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>a list of name on Monday Show. You can go

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.599
<v Speaker 1>check that out as well. But if we're going a

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit deeper, la Quan, where should we be looking

0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:10.280
<v Speaker 1>for help?

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Uh, you should be looking in New York, New Jersey,

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 3>whatever you want to call it. With Tyrone Tracy, I mean,

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 3>the rookie showed up and showed out with his opportunities

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.079
<v Speaker 3>as well. I mean the Giants cannot ignore you know,

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.880
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and twenty nine rushing yards and being so

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 3>efficient on the ground with seven point eight yards per carry.

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 3>And look, I honestly feel like, you know, if Devin

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Singletary is still dealing with a groin injury, you know

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 3>you kind of just rest him because he showed up

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 3>and put up you know, good numbers for you. And

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 3>I think right now, as a guy that you know

0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>personally struggling at the running back position, I need all

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 3>the help I can get. So he's definitely one of

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 3>those guys that you should be looking to pick up

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 3>because the dude can play.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely can play. I liked him in the preseason. He

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't get a lot of opportunities early. Took an injury

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to Devin Singletary for it to happen, But now it

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:56.959
<v Speaker 1>makes me think that he's going to start to get

0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 1>more touches going forward for you, Floria, who is a

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>deep dive option this week?

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 2>If you stayed up late on Sunday night, there's a

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of I'm sure there was a lot of sleepy

0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.160
<v Speaker 2>eyes in Pittsburgh and Dallas in the office on Monday morning.

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But you saw Jalen Tolbert catch the game winning touchdown.

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.040
<v Speaker 2>But even more than that, you saw the Cowboys make

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.160
<v Speaker 2>a conscious effort to get someone else the ball. Like

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it was clear the Pittsburgh Steelers game plan was make

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>anyone but ced lambeat us, and for much of the

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 2>game the Cowboys were kind of struggling to adjust to

0:10:30.400 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 2>that and then they started getting the ball to Jalen

0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Tolbert and good things started happening. And it's not like

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>this is a one off. I spoke about him a

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.320
<v Speaker 2>couple of weeks ago when we did this segment the

0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Deep Dive, and he now in his last four games

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 2>has ten plus Fantasy points in three of them. He

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>has a touchdown in two of them. He has nine

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>or more targets in two of them. Brandon Cooks is

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.920
<v Speaker 2>on the IR. We know that the Cowboys passing game

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>is CD. It is Jake Ferguson and it was it.

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Now they have a third option that I think, and

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 2>if Jalen Tobert continues to play well, I don't think

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 2>he gives the job back to Brandon Cooks. This is

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 2>something we talked about the last time we brought him up.

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Like Brandon Cooks kind of looks like he's at the

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 2>end of his rope. There's an opportunity here to be had.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.120
<v Speaker 2>And look, if you're a pass the number two wide

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 2>receiver from for Dak Prescott on a Cowboys team that

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>has pretty much abandoned the run. They're throwing the ball

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:24.280
<v Speaker 2>in around seventy percent of their plays, it's easy to

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.199
<v Speaker 2>get fired up. So don't look at Jalen Tolbert as

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 2>just like a one week thing or something like that.

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I think this is someone that brings upside moving forward.

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>There was very much a conversation about who the number

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>two wide receiver was going to be in Dallas. Coming

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.679
<v Speaker 1>into the season. We knew Ceedee Lamb was going to

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>be at the top of the charts, but after that

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 1>it was pretty much an open question, and Jalen Tobert

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.959
<v Speaker 1>may have made a very strong case to get more

0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 1>opportunities going forward. I know that the Cook's still going

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>to be out for another couple of weeks, so I

0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>was see what happens when everybody is back, But I

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>think Jalen Tobert really making a strong case to be

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>that wide receiver too. There last two week's been really

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>good for the Andre Swift, But don't think that Rashawn

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Johnson isn't going to have a role in this offense.

0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 1>After a couple of weeks, it looks like Shane Waldron

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:11.680
<v Speaker 1>figured out that Travis Homer wasn't it and starting to

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.560
<v Speaker 1>get more touches for Rashawn Johnson had a couple of

0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:18.240
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns against the Panthers this past week, at the end

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the ten carries for twenty five yards. I mean, not

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot there, but they are using him near

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>the goal line. He's getting some of those high leverage touches.

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>And more importantly, he's a guy that they can trust

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.199
<v Speaker 1>in pass protection a little bit more, which means he's

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on the field in passing down situations. He's

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna be on the field in those third downs when

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you know Cavin Williams has to drop back and pass.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>So it looks like it's gonna be a two headed

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>situation there in Chicago, which is fine. We can sort

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>of sort that out and figure out how to make

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>it work. So if you were in a deeper league

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 1>and you need help at running back, which pretty much

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 1>everybody does, Rashaan Johnson should be on a whole lot

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.959
<v Speaker 1>of rosters and potentially has the opportunity to be a

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.439
<v Speaker 1>flex option when you need him to, especially because we

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have a whole lot more buys coming up over the

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>next several weeks. So if we are adding folks, we

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>have to also be saying goodbye to people. Lakwan, who

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>are we putting back in the free agent pool?

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Oh man, I'm sending back to Cardio king Gabe Davis.

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 3>He's doing what we know he's loved to do, run routes.

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.560
<v Speaker 3>He's leading the team in routes, but yet he's not

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.079
<v Speaker 3>being productive with his opportunities. So I was facing one

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.559
<v Speaker 3>of my league ma it's one of my good buddies

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.559
<v Speaker 3>from home, and he started Gabe Davis. I'm kind of

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 3>texting him on the side, like what are you doing, dude,

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 3>Like you know, he hasn't done anything, Like I know

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 3>we're down bad right now, but the dude doesn't do anything.

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.120
<v Speaker 3>It's donuts everywhere. It's a donut party for Gabe Davis.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.959
<v Speaker 3>But he should not be rostered in forty percent of

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 3>the leagues right now. When you have guys like Wandell

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Rops and Josh Downs, guys that are emerging as useful

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.679
<v Speaker 3>players and have a solid target share and being productive

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.120
<v Speaker 3>with their opportunities, it's time to make room. Get the

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 3>zombies off your bench. Goodbye, Gabriel Davis.

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>So qua saying goodbye to Gabe Davis, brought to you

0:13:55.160 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>by Duncan. Meanwhile, for you Florio, who is getting a

0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.440
<v Speaker 1>life jacket going back at the pool, I.

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Guess we could stick with that because Duncan is like

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.439
<v Speaker 2>the most famous place in Boston. But it's over for

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Henry. Like Week two was awesome, twelve targets, eight catches,

0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.719
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and nine yards, and I know he was

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.199
<v Speaker 2>a big waiver wire pickup and stuff, and it was like,

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 2>all right, tight end is so bad right now that

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 2>this guy he could be useful. He could help your

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 2>team keep afloat. Then he goes out, he puts up

0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 2>two catches for nine yards against the Jets. You're like,

0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 2>all right, but the Jets are a good defense. Then

0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.680
<v Speaker 2>he does it against the forty nine ers and you're like, okay,

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 2>but the forty nine ers are elite at shutting down

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.360
<v Speaker 2>tight ends. And then he does it against the Miami Dolphins,

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 2>who have not been stopping anyone. So now, in that

0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 2>one game in Week two, he has more one hundred

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:43.680
<v Speaker 2>and nine yards in that game seventy one in his

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 2>other four games combined, four targets are fewer two catches

0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 2>in all.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Four of his other games. That one big game is

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>clearly the.

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Blip on the radar, and the Patriots offense looks broken

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 2>right now, Like Jacoby brissetid is taking sacks at the

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>second highest rate in the NFL. They have nothing going

0:14:59.840 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 2>on downfield. It should be Drake May time, but yeah,

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't. They're outside of the running backs.

0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>There's no one I want from New England on my rosters.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think the case for Hunter Henry is

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 1>basically like, hey, look, they may throw it to him

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and they get down near the end zone, and until

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>they figure out their wide receiver group, he was going

0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to be viable. But it does look like Jaylen Polk

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.480
<v Speaker 1>is starting to take over a little bit there as well,

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.760
<v Speaker 1>and with a potential quarterback change coming, who knows how

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>that's going to shuffle things around in the near future.

0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>For me, I'm gonna go with to Curtis Samuel, who

0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>was rostered in a lot more leagues than I thought

0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>he would be Florida. I know you talked about this

0:15:36.800 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>offense on Monday and how it looks like teams are

0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>figuring out how to scheme against it a little bit,

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 1>and how much it made a difference not having Khalil

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 1>Shakir there. Curtis Samuel, to me, has always sort of

0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 1>fallen into that sort of Duke Johnson category of being

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>a dual threat guy who doesn't seem like he's good

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.360
<v Speaker 1>enough at any one thing to get a lot of opportunity. Right,

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>He's a good wide receiver, but he's always played with

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>better wide receivers. He's good at running the football, but

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>he's on a team, always on a team with better

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>running backs. He's not He's not quite debo in terms

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.560
<v Speaker 1>of his ability and his dual threat skills there, and

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.920
<v Speaker 1>in an offense that right now is struggling to be

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>explosive and score points, it's just hard to make a

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>case to keep Curtis Samuel around. I know we like

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.640
<v Speaker 1>the idea of Curtis Samuel, but the reality of Curtis

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Samuel is not quite the same. So, because wide receiver

0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.480
<v Speaker 1>is so deep, you can find guys off the waiver wire.

0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>There's really no point of holding onto a guy who's

0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>just not getting enough opportunity when he does get opportunity,

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>not doing enough with it to make it worthwhile for

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 1>having him on your roster.

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Please, I will trade Curtis over this guy.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 1>This is where we are where we are now.

0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Nice, but at least James could run, block and stretch

0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the field like he does something.

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, I mean it seems like look and he was.

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 1>He was good in the locker room, like when they

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, all of his teammates seemed very excited to

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>see him when they met up recently. So and it

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:12.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't get you any fantasy points, but it does count

0:17:12.480 --> 0:17:12.960
<v Speaker 1>for something.

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 3>In a lot.

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Anyway that hopefully helps you set your rosters and get

0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:20.959
<v Speaker 1>you ready for Week six coming up in the meantime.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>That will do it for this edition of the NFL

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Podcast. Stay happy, safe and healthy, do good

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and live well. Enjoy the days, everybody. We will talk

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:50.040
