Speaker 1: Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got
trade proposals for ly in my way. My first round
pig turned out to be a big flop. I don't
know which wide receiver I need to drive.
Speaker 2: Doctor Roto give me the news. I really don't know
what I should do. My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've
got a bad case of fan deceive Blue.
Speaker 3: It is the fastest thirty minutes of major market radio.
We present to you the one, the only Doctor Roto
will take your questions in your comments about your teams.
In the second segment of the show seven one three
two one two five seven ninety, Doctor Roto tell me
you were watching the Giants Denver game and you were
talking about bon Nicks. Were thinking about how bad a
bon Knicks game was until he put together the thirty
three point fourth quarter and his fantasy numbers skyrocketed, literally
in fifteen minutes to play.
Speaker 4: It's so crazy because I remember telling everybody how much
I liked bon Nix last week RG where it's like, oh,
bon Nicks, there's gonna be a great game, and then
all of a sudden, you look like you have no
idea what you're talking about. And then the Giants defense.
What is up with that? Shane Bowen? How does a
guy keep a job? I mean, twenty six to eight
in the fourth quarter, late in the fourth quarter, you
got to close that game out, So I mean you can.
You can cut the kicker all you want. It's not
just a kicker's fault. This week, though, we're going back
to Denver, going and playing the Cowboys who play who
decided to change up from a zone defense to man
because they weren't doing well on his own don't want
they don't do well in man either. You know who
does do well in man coverage? Boonix, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin.
Speaker 3: Load up on your Broncos again, loading up on Broncos
things we never thought we'd say in twenty twenty five.
If you got a question for the good Doctor, we'll
start taking those coming up in a matter of moments
at seven one three two one two five seven ninety
seven one three, two one two five seven ninety All right,
So what do we want to start this week? Boy?
Oh boy, o boy. The Patriots. We can't wait for
Drake May to have an off week. It was very good,
not spectacular. Can he get those numbers back up against
the Browns this weekend in New England.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mt, I know you have him. So look, what
we love about this game is that the Browns very
hard to run against. So last week we knew, right,
we knew Ramandra Stevenson is going to run the football.
We knew that you could. That's how you beat the Titan.
How do you beat the Browns? You throw it? So
Browns play a lot of man coverage. Who do we like?
We like Stefan Diggs, We like Kayshawn Butte, we like
Drake May. I think Drake Mays. There is at least
two touchdowns this week, maybe even a third. I mean
not going to be the highest scoring game. I think
this game finishes like maybe twenty four to twenty or
something like that. By out the twenty four points, it's
probably going to come through the air because it's really
hard to run on Cleveland.
Speaker 3: Are we back all in on the Eagles after their
win against Minnesota last Sunday?
Speaker 4: I think we got to be very careful. AJ Brown
has not practiced this week. There's a good shot he's out.
If he's out, DeVonta Smith is a lock button. I
mean I also think, Look, the last time these two
teams played, Barkley did nothing. I don't think that happens
a second time to you, So I think they lean
on the running game. I think they lean on DeVonta Smith.
As of right now, AJ Brown very questionable hurts is
of course in play. I mean you're going to get
a toush push most likely at some point during the game.
But I mean he's not going to have the game
he had last week where they just threw it all day.
Speaker 3: Do you get as mad as I do watching the
tush push? First of all, I think there's an illegal
formation or a shift almost every single time it happens,
and now I just get angry about it. I don't
have a dog in the fight because I just don't
go against many Eagles and don't have Eagles on my team.
But it's just irritating part of the game for me. Honestly.
Speaker 4: No, I'm with you, and I think, look, make a
decision either say it's good for every team and we're
just outlawed. I think it's just easier if the outlaw.
It just feels like a play that somebody's going to
get really injured.
Speaker 3: Up does Aaron Rodgers go against his old team this
week and have success.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, look, you don't think Rogers is circling
this game on his calendar. Of course he is. You know,
this is one of those games that you live for.
The Packers defense has been not as good as people
think it is. Right, all the Packers defense it's been great.
Have they really gotten a pass rush? No? I think
this is going to be a higher scoring game than
people are anticipating. Steelers defense has also let up a
lot of points as well. I think Jordan Love has
a good game. I think Aaron Rodgers has a good game.
I think we're gonna play Metcalf, We're gonna play Josh Jacobs.
You know, look, you better have a big league going
into Sunday night because lot of guys can be scoring
in that game. Romeo Dobbs, Tucker Craft, you know, load
up on this one, all right.
Speaker 3: Buccaneers an off week last week in Detroit, and I
don't know if it's off because it was a Monday night
game on the road. But tell me, uh, what a
difference going from a legitimate NFC title contender to a
Saints team that's one in six. If you've got Buccaneers.
You're loading up correct this week?
Speaker 4: Well you are loading up, but I think there were
some bad calls there from the rest, I mean revealing
these Kate Atton played twice. Have you ever seen that
in the NFL before? Not really. Baker was really annoyed
all game long, and I don't blame him. So look,
losing Mike Evans is terrible. Kate Aughton has become a
player that people are going to want. Tz Johnson is
a player that people are going to want. And Buka
is a tremendous play where Shad White is a play.
The Saints are not a great team, but they play quickly,
so the pace is high. This is a game where
I think you want to load up on your Buccaneers.
Baker has a good week. Rashad White, like I said,
Kate Otton, I love him at Buka and Ted Johnson
on the other side, you can't run on Tampa. So
what are you going to do? Spencer Rattler is likely
going to throw it. Maybe Rattler has a better day
than we think he is. Chris Alave, Rashid Shaheed, all
names you want in what could be attract me?
Speaker 3: Is it time to give up on the skilled players
for the Baltimore Ravens, especially because Lamar is practiced so
little this week.
Speaker 4: No, I am all in on the Ravens this week.
I could not be more in on the Ravens than
I am this week. I think Lamar is going to
come back and have a really good week. He's practice
in a limited capacity. I think that there's no need
to push it. I think he'll be fine. I think
Derrick Henry is going to score. I think Za Flowers
is going to have a really good week. On the
other side, keep a watchful eye on Cole Comett's injury.
If Cole Comett is out, Colston Loveland, the rookie out
of University of Michigan, he will be in. Ravens do
not stop the tight end very well. This could be
its national tight ends week. Could be a Colston lovel
and score a touchdown week. All right?
Speaker 3: What on terrifics Segway into the Texans Dalton Schultz was
the main go to threat. I would assume that Robert
sala is going to game plan to make sure that
that he is not a part of the game. With
that being said, if he is the go to guy
and has been for much of the season. With Nico
Collins probably not gonna play this week, is Schultz a
heavy play? Tell me about the Texans offense. We're really
worried about how they're even gonna score any points a
week against the Niners.
Speaker 4: As well, you should. I mean it's not like Schultz
is a picture of health either. So if Niko's probably
not playing, I don't think Christian Kirk plays. I'll tell
you the guy who is super sneaky for the Texans,
Jalen Knowle, because the one thing the forty nine ers
don't really do well, they don't clover slot receivers well.
So I think Noel could be sneaky. I mean Dalton
Schultz obviously. With CJ. Strouds number one guy, you need
Nick Chubb to do something. Nick Chubb. We knew was
going to bad matchup for him last week, right, Seattle
very good against the run. I think that Nick Chubb
has to be able to get on first down. Let's
make it second and five. Let's make it, you know,
second and six. You've got to get four or five
yards on first down or you're in big trouble on
the other side of the football here this week, I
expect Matt Jones to play again. I expect Ricky piersoll back.
I think George Kittle's probably going to score a touchdown
this week. I mean, he did nothing last week. I
don't think that happens two weeks in a row. So
the Texans is a tough little stretch here for them.
I think they're in trouble all right.
Speaker 3: Time now for the sports Rvy weekly rote question of
the Week, I don't know how much I have for well,
I'm just curious your thoughts on some of the backfields.
Speaker 5: But you you mentioned Woody Marx and Nick Chubb. How
viable do you think either of those are? Are you
sticking with guys like Rico d Doowdel and some others
who have been splitting carries Isaiah Pacheco. Just some of
these backfields are kind of muddied.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what happens is is that you really need
to look at each week and then the matchup. So
I was all in on Woody Marks last week. Why
Seattle lets up the most receptions to opposing running backs? Now,
the crazy thing was they should have used Marx more
out of the backfield. They gave the ball to Schultz
more than Marx but what we did know was that
Nick Chubb was going to do nothing right, so that
each week when you go into a game, you've got
to say, how is this team going to play? So
against Buffalo? How do you beat Buffalo? You run the football.
Rico Daddell's going to get at least fifteen carries, Chiba
Hubbard's going to get at least ten to twelve. I mean,
they're going to try to ram the football down the
Bill's throats because you really don't want to throw on
the Bills. So that's one I don't love Pacheco. Keep
your eyes on Brashad Smith. They're trying to get him
more snaps. He's a very exciting young player. Against Washington,
the Chiefs are going to have their way against Washington
and Mariota. So this is one of those games where
don't be shocked at see Brashot Smith's first NFL touchdown.
