I have to say it 48 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.360 very slowly or I'm going to mess that up. During 49 00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:41.199 Monday night football, we kick off at eight, kind of 50 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.680 hang out, watch the game, talk waivers, just you know, 51 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.439 have a lot of fun talk about the Sunday action 52 00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:49.000 from the day before, and you know, just kind of 53 00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:50.960 catch up on what's going on in football. 54 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.879 So the two times you're live, what time does the 55 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.240 show start the Sunday morning tilate?

So let's get into it tonight. 64 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.639 So the one of the things I always love to 65 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.759 do is start off the show with something we haven't 66 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.800 talked about at all, or that that's not listed on 67 00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.080 the rundown at all. And I want to lead things 68 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.680 off here tonight with do I have any No, I'll 69 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:37.800 tell you what. Let's let's just let's just go back 70 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.800 to what I got here to lead things off. Let's 71 00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.759 talk about the Giants backfield, because they went against our 72 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.960 Green Bay Packers this past week, and quite frankly, Tyrone 73 00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.159 Tracy and Devin Singletary both put up startable numbers against 74 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.240 the Packers Sunday afternoon. Nineteen carries for eighty eight yards, 75 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.159 four catches for fifty one yards for Tyrone Tracy. He 76 00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.439 did not get into the end zone, but it seemed 77 00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.319 like if there was one back that they were favoring, 78 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.599 it seemed to be Tracy. Now I have my thoughts 79 00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.159 and i'll get your thoughts on the Packers rush defense. 80 00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.800 I think it's a little bit overrated. I think that 81 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.759 they really it was really evident that they're struggling to 82 00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.839 get off the field. It seemed like every third and 83 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:20.319 fourth down the Giants were converting and as a result, 84 00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.040 the Giants were able to execute their game plan, shortening 85 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.560 the game up and giving them a chance to win 86 00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.519 until they inevitably got Jamis at the end of the game. 87 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:32.560 But I want to bring up Tyrone Tracy here because 88 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:36.519 this week the Giants go to Detroit. Right, here's the 89 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.519 guy I like better than Devin Singletary in this backfield. 90 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.040 But I feel like even flexing him out, I think 91 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.279 you're playing with a little fire here against the Lions. 92 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.319 How do you see Tracy right now and sort of 93 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:48.800 the state of this Giants backfield as they head into MotorCity. 94 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.639 Yeah, I mean, I think definitely Tracy is the guy 95 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.439 there right now. Devin Singletary, you know, I guess they're 96 00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:57.040 gonna they're gonna have to use a little bit since 97 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.959 Scatabo's out, Otherwise he would be kind of completely irrelevant. 98 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.000 But I don't like. I don't like either one of 99 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:04.560 them this week, not against the Lions. Lions are giving 100 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.360 up the fewest rushing yards for or not rushing yards sorry, 101 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:12.360 fewest rushing fantasy points in the league so far this season, 102 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.120 and they're at home. I just feel like that's and 103 00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.279 they're coming off a couple of really bad games for 104 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.120 the Lions. I just feel like they are really going 105 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.519 to get up for this game and just kind of 106 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.519 make a statement show that they are back. I'm not. 107 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.439 I don't think it's going to be a good outcome 108 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.519 for the Giants this week. And also, you know, I 109 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.879 was kind of thinking about this, Bulky. Do you think 110 00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.000 that maybe they put up the Giants put up a 111 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.000 little bit better numbers against our Packers because you know, 112 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.839 that's that first game after their coach gets fired. You 113 00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:43.120 know there's something maybe to that a little bit, or 114 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.759 maybe normally they wouldn't have had that much success against 115 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:49.360 you know, And look, I totally I'm with you on 116 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.040 the rush defense with the Packers right now, but I 117 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.319 mean they are still really good. So I'm just kind 118 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.120 of wondering if that maybe played into a little bit 119 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.959 of why they were a little bit more productive than 120 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:58.879 they probably should have been. 121 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:02.800 I brought that up heading into the game. I've often 122 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.959 heard this is more more so true and like maybe 123 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.160 basketball and hockey than in football. Maybe it's true in 124 00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:09.560 football as well, But I always heard you're supposed to 125 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:13.199 bet on the team after they lose a significant component, 126 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:15.480 like a head coach, like a star player. You bet 127 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:17.759 on them to either cover or win that first game, 128 00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.439 but then after that you start bending against them because 129 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:22.399 it is a little bit of a change. And that 130 00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.600 did worry me because because I do think Mike Koff 131 00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.560 is a pretty talented guy. I think that you know 132 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.360 the time that he I mean, wouldn't you have like 133 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.040 a half decade with Andy Reid in Kansas City everything? 134 00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:35.720 Think about how much he just soaked up there, And 135 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.639 so it did make me nervous. And then when Winston 136 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:43.279 is throwing these these interception balls and Green Bay is 137 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.399 just dropping every single one, I'm like, this is gonna 138 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.759 come down to the wire. I didn't even know if 139 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.800 they're gonna win. They end up squeezing it out. So 140 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:50.439 I do I agree with you. I think there is 141 00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:52.959 something there and we'll see if the Packers defense can 142 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:54.839 clean it up this week when they faced Aaron Jones 143 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.120 and Jordan Mason. More to come on that as well 144 00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.680 later on in the show. Now, let's go out to 145 00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.120 Sam Francisco and I want to talk Juwan Jennings here. 146 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.920 Four catches on six targets this past week in their 147 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.079 win over the Cardinals. The six targets were good enough 148 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:15.040 for the team lead, and with George Kittle and Christian 149 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.720 McCaffrey obviously, And on the day that Ricky Pearsall comes back, 150 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.800 Juwan Jennings is still the number one wide out. On 151 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.160 the day, first pass of the game, he catches for 152 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.360 twenty five yards. And I can't remember who was bringing 153 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.800 this up. It might have been Scott Barrett or Grand 154 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:35.319 Barfield or if i'm I never remember, and I apologize 155 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.639 for that. So I'm giving improper credit, or maybe I'm 156 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.439 getting giving proper credit. I don't know. But they said 157 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.639 that Ricky Pearsall saw zero first read targets in that 158 00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:49.720 game against Arizona, and you think about, you know, how 159 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.839 up and down that game was as far as the 160 00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.680 offense is, and Brissette throwing the ball all over the field, 161 00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.839 that does surprise me. Now, I don't know if they're 162 00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:01.240 easing him back in, but I don't think the switch 163 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.240 is flipped or the flip is switched this coming weekend 164 00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:08.319 as the Niners get ready to take on the Panthers 165 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.839 on Monday Night Football. I think Jennings is another sneaky 166 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.920 flex play for people who are missing guys like you know, 167 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.279 Courtland Sutton, Jalen Waddle, some of these receivers that are 168 00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.680 on by this week. I happen to like Jennings this week, Stacy, 169 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.000 what do you think? Yeah? 170 00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.720 I like Jennings too, although I think this tends to 171 00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:28.720 be more of a run heavy game here. I think 172 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.519 this is gonna be a CMC game. I think there's 173 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.080 a little bit of that, you know, kind of going 174 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.080 back to Carolina a little bit, or not going back there, 175 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.399 coming out to San Francisco, but a little bit of 176 00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.679 revenge game there. I think he's gonna want to show 177 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.960 up for his old team. And so I like Jennings. 178 00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:45.240 I've got him into FLEX in numerous places, you know, 179 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.120 and it's great now that party's back. They have that 180 00:08:47.159 --> 00:08:50.080 good connection. But I think that's gonna be a little 181 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:52.519 more run heavy, So I probably downgrade him just a smidge, 182 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.200 but I do like him this week. 183 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.080 Yeah. And as far as, like you know, for FFPC, 184 00:08:57.200 --> 00:09:01.080 we're talking like secondary, like a second FL I think 185 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.360 he's perfect for that for sure. Okay, moving forward here, 186 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.919 I want to talk about you know, it was one 187 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.240 week ago that we were getting ready for this Patriots 188 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.159 Jets game, and it's difficult to get up for a 189 00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.120 Patriots Jets game in twenty twenty five, very difficult to 190 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:19.159 get excited for something like that. However, we got some 191 00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.759 fireworks early with a Trevian Henderson touchdown, and then just 192 00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:25.600 before we went off the air with Casey Caseon from Rotaballer, 193 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.679 we got a second tvon Henderson touchdown, which I thought, Hey, 194 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.039 this is great. This is Henderson Knight and my son, 195 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.720 who is twelve years old, they have to think about this. No, 196 00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:39.399 he's not twelve, Yeah, he is twelve. God, he's twelve already. 197 00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:41.399 He and I share a fantasy team with one of 198 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:43.679 his body or with you know, his buddies or whatever, 199 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.960 and he has Henderson on that team, and we started 200 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.399 him that night, and I was super excited to tell 201 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.639 him that Henderson scored two touchdowns. After he got off 202 00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.120 the air, my wife was bringing up home from basketball practice, 203 00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.759 and before I could even say anything, he walks in 204 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.279 the holding up his phone and he says, Dad, Trevion 205 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.360 Henderson just scored his third touchdown. And I'm like, what, 206 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:09.440 We've been waiting for this all year? Like we've been 207 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.679 waiting and waiting and waiting for Trevian Henderson to get 208 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.080 his just due, for him to do everything he's supposed 209 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.879 to do. No block no rock. He's blocking now and 210 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.360 he's getting the rock. Obviously, the Ramandre Stephenson thing played 211 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:25.960 a part in Henderson getting all those touches, getting all 212 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:32.320 those carries, and kudos to Josh McDaniels and Mike Rabel 213 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.960 for not letting Terrell Jennings get in the way. Yeah, 214 00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.000 last week, which I think was a little bit nerve 215 00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.799 wracking for all of us. Now you think it's over Stacy, 216 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.440 it's not, because we got to go through this again. 217 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.720 Mike Reese reporting that Ramandre Stevenson and I have not 218 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.320 seen anything as far as practice goes today. But Stevenson 219 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.080 with that toe was limited in yesterday's practice. He has 220 00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.080 not played since I believe week nine, and the fact 221 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.039 that he gets in a limited practice on Wednesday, you 222 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.399 probably I'm thinking at least he's more on the optimistic 223 00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:08.879 side of questionable. But you can't recork the wine, you 224 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.120 can't put the toothpaste back in the tooth, or can you. 225 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.360 Considering the coaches we're dealing with, I love that this 226 00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:18.559 week I'm going to be playing them everywhere, but there's 227 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.159 a little bit of pucker that goes to that. I'm 228 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:22.679 a little bit nervous about inserting Henderson in my lineups. 229 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.960 How do you think this situation is going to go 230 00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:27.879 when New England takes the field this week? 231 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:32.679 Okay, So if for mare, if Stevenson is cleared, if 232 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.720 he's active and I have him on a lead, I 233 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:39.039 am probably starting him against that Cincinnati defense. Right, They're 234 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:42.080 so soft against the run. Against the air, different story, 235 00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:43.519 but they are so soft against the run. So I 236 00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.519 feel like this is going to be a big whoever 237 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.000 it is in the backfield for New England day now. 238 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:53.279 I mean I've been saying this. You know this season, 239 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.360 you've got to find yourself somebody bulky that is going 240 00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:59.960 to look at you the way that Mike Rabel looks 241 00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:04.519 set Ramandre Stevenson, Okay, because he can do no wrong. 242 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.679 He can do no wrong in Rabel's eyes. He can 243 00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.200 fumble the ball eight hundred times, does not matter. He's 244 00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.879 still gonna throw him back out there. So if he's available, 245 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:16.519 if he's active, I'm starting him. But I'm still starting 246 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.919 Henderson too. This is a great matchup. I feel like 247 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.759 you could probably start both of these guys going forward. 248 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.240 Are we going to have some questions about who is it? 249 00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:24.440 Is? 250 00:12:24.440 --> 00:12:26.080 It gonna still be Henderson. Is it going to go 251 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:29.240 back to Stevenson. We don't know, but this week I 252 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:31.240 think you start both of them if they're both active. 253 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.919 Shout out to our producer Sean Engel tonight stating that 254 00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:40.440 Stevenson was indeed limited in practice today as well. So 255 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:46.080 back to back games with a limited practice. Now, what 256 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.440 about if you play in a closed twelve team league 257 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:52.840 where it's more important to carry your own handcuffs rather 258 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.639 than a big national tournament like the has to offer. 259 00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.159 If you have Stevenson and Henderson, you just said they're 260 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:04.320 both startable. Are they both startable on the same team? 261 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:05.600 That gets a little dicey? 262 00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:06.440 Oh it does? 263 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:10.000 It is, But to your point, it is Cincinnati. Yeah, 264 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.279 and we saw you know I mentioned at the top 265 00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.480 of the show today. Last week you had Tracy and 266 00:13:15.519 --> 00:13:19.720 Singletary going up against a good Packers rush defense and 267 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:22.039 they were both startable. So maybe they are both started, 268 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.159 even on the same team. 269 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.480 Bengals giving up thirty five point six Fantasy points per 270 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:29.840 game two opposing teams running backs. That is by far 271 00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:32.720 the most in the league. Next closest is the Bills 272 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.080 and they're only at twenty eight, So by far, I 273 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.279 think there's like very few teams that you can feel 274 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:43.440 comfortable starting both running backs, like Detroit, right, maybe even Atlanta. 275 00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.919 You can probably start both in Atlanta now and now 276 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.600 I think this week specifically, I think you can start 277 00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:49.320 both in New England. 278 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:54.039 Yeah, yeah, it makes sense because of the matchup. And 279 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.159 I don't think I have I don't even know if 280 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.519 I have any Remandre Stevenson teams this year, which is 281 00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.440 how did I I was in in Trevan Henderson. Did 282 00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:06.080 you get a chance to meet steven yourglos the fantasy 283 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:11.080 soprano at all? Okay, y, yeah, yes I am too, 284 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:15.480 and and he apparently, you know, we text back and 285 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.080 forth and or maybe it's something I said on the show. 286 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:20.720 It wouldn't surprise me if it was, because I did 287 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.759 load up on Trevian Henderson this year. But Steve was like, 288 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.399 props the ball key. He's the guy who turned me 289 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.879 on to Trevian Henderson this year, and he was saying 290 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.399 that in like late in the drafting season, like god, 291 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.480 I hope it works out. And then I'm like, geez, 292 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.799 I hope he stops mentioning that. You know, and now 293 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:40.320 and now it's like if you've survived with these Henderson 294 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.919 teams long enough, and you're still like, you know, in 295 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:45.120 the playoffs or what have you. Now all of a sudden, 296 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.360 you're like, Okay, this could actually work out, even though 297 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.120 it hadn't worked out for like the first nine or 298 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.200 ten weeks of the season. All right, let's get into 299 00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.480 Jamison Williams here, Whiskey Bill as the kids call him. 300 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:59.440 Four of seven targets were snared by him for eighty 301 00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.399 eight yards and a touchdown in their loss to the 302 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:05.080 Eagles this past Sunday night. He also had one carry 303 00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.399 for nine yards. Now, this was the first game, first 304 00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.960 full game that Detroit's had this season. With Sam Laporta 305 00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.360 on IR, you noticed, or maybe you did notice, that 306 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.080 the Eagles really put a focus on taking a mon 307 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.600 Ross Saint Brown out of the game. Williams got the 308 00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:26.559 big forty yard touchdown earlier in the in the second quarter, 309 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:31.360 and and then you know, I guess the Lions come 310 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:33.600 up short in this game. But this was still a 311 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.799 win for Jamison Williams. Fantass And now he gets the 312 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:42.759 Giants this week, which give up explosive plays like it's 313 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.480 a bodily function. We have seen the worm turned here 314 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.399 since Dan Campbell took over calling plays over John Morton. 315 00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.679 Things have changed, and the promise that we were given 316 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:56.600 about Trevian Henderson seems to be coming true. I think 317 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.720 you could say a similar thing for Jamison Williams right now. 318 00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:01.360 Stay he looks dialed in. 319 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.639 Yeah, I agree. I mean, they paid him all this 320 00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.840 money right in the off season with his extension, and 321 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.159 you know, everyone's okay, finally it's his year, right, and 322 00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.639 then it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. And then finally 323 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:15.720 it happens now that Campbell's taken over, and you take 324 00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.000 a look against Washington twenty three point nine fantasy points, 325 00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.000 last week against Philly nineteen, even before that against Minnesota, 326 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.759 he had a good game against Minnesota and they've got 327 00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:27.200 a great defense. So you know, I think it's finally 328 00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:31.440 starting to click. You know. No, I mean, I hate 329 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:33.559 that Laporte is Ollury is one of my favorite tight ends, 330 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.519 but you know, at least it opens up some more 331 00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.000 targets for Williams, and I think kind of we see 332 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.559 that again against the Giants this week. 333 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.039 There our resident Finns fan, Tom Smith chiming in on 334 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:48.559 X tonight saying that everyone on the Lions is going 335 00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.559 to score this week, even the water Boy. 336 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:53.200 The total on that game is fifty and a half 337 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.559 and yet the Lions are ten and a half point favorite. 338 00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.440 So if you extrapolate that out, they're projected for about 339 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:01.519 five touchdowns this week. And so everybody might score, you 340 00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.359 know who won't score Sam Laporta. So that obviously targets 341 00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.960 a little bit more with Gibbs and and you know, 342 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.759 maybe Montgomery to a certain extent, but definitely with Williams 343 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.359 and Saint Brown as well. Are you how nervous are 344 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.440 you about Laporta? I mean the fact that they have 345 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:18.200 not they've had the opportunity to say, oh, he'll be 346 00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.799 back after four games, and they haven't yet. I'm wondering 347 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:22.640 if this is a season long thing here and maybe 348 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:24.039 we don't even see him in the playoffs. 349 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:26.720 Yeah, I mean that as seem really nervous, you know, 350 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.599 like they're not you know, being and they're pretty the Lions, 351 00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.359 at least from what I what I know is they're 352 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:36.160 pretty you know, they're not sneaky about their injury. You know, 353 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.200 they're pretty sight forward. Yeah. So so the fact that 354 00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:41.319 they haven't really come out and given a definitive answer 355 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:44.279 about that does make me a little nervous. I just 356 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.000 I'm still I'm still like having PTSD from Tucker Craft's injury. 357 00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.799 I can't even talk about like tight ends right now. 358 00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.400 So the fact that like both of them are on 359 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.240 the ir it's like my two favorite tight ends in 360 00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.000 the entire league. It's just it's it's brutal right now. 361 00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:58.880 But yeah, it does. It doesn't make me very nervous 362 00:17:58.880 --> 00:17:59.200 for them. 363 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.359 I feel like I got saved from Tucker Craft this 364 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:05.200 year because I spent most of draftings and telling people 365 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.279 not to draft packers pass catchers because it's just it's 366 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.400 such a it's such a fickle thing from week to 367 00:18:13.480 --> 00:18:16.279 week where yeah, Watson is going to catch five for 368 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:18.440 one hundred and thirty and two touchdowns. The next week 369 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:20.720 he'll get two for twenty. And I thought I was 370 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.160 lumping Tucker Craft in that as well. And then I 371 00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:24.960 don't know what happened. I think it was like early 372 00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:27.279 to mid August and everybody is telling me I'm wrong 373 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.920 and that Craft is going to be great, and I'm like, 374 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.240 you know what, I gotta start drafting some Tucker Craft. 375 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.000 So I drafted him a few times late, but I 376 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.359 definitely was not hit as hard as some other people 377 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.920 were this year, which stinks because it looked it not 378 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.039 only looked like he was a league winner, Stacey, it 379 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.359 looked like he was the engine that was really making 380 00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:48.680 that Packers offense go offensively. They have not looked the 381 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.559 same since Craft went down, And this is something that's 382 00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:54.759 not only a detriment to the Packers hopes to make 383 00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:58.880 a deep postseason runs. It's detrimental to people who are 384 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:02.559 hoping for big numbers from Love and Jacob's and Watson 385 00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.839 and Dobbs and you know, all these guys that that 386 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:07.440 they're gonna be flexing out or playing in their fantasy lines. 387 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.319 It doesn't give me the warm fuzzies at all with 388 00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:10.799 the Packers offense what we've seen. 389 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.319 Without Craft, No, it doesn't. I mean like after the 390 00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:16.000 first couple games of the season, I was like, oh 391 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:17.960 my god, we have Michael Persons, O, We're going the 392 00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.200 super Bowl this year. Like this feel like amazing. And 393 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.400 then you know it just kind of tailed off, you know, 394 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.319 losing to the Browns and then just didn't get any better. 395 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:29.359 And I was I was one of the people draft 396 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.519 in Tucker Craft all year long. I've just loved Tucker Kraft, 397 00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:35.240 love what he does with the YAC and everything, and 398 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.759 you just think he's a great player. But you know, 399 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.559 ever since you know his injury, we just don't have 400 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.160 an answer for that. We don't have an answer to 401 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:43.880 how are we going to replace you know, the production 402 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.759 that he brings. And right now, I guess what, it's 403 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:48.000 not Lou Musgrave. He's not able to produce that. 404 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:51.240 Although I will say just just not to interrupt you, 405 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:54.359 but I guess say I will say Matt Lafleur was 406 00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:58.039 asked about that after the game because Musgrave had like 407 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.559 what three catches for like thirty yards? It was it 408 00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:05.920 was not great, non impactful, yeah, production, and he was 409 00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:08.480 asked about that and Lafleur, I wouldn't say he went off, 410 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.799 but he kind of like kept going back to the 411 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.720 point like we got to get him more snaps, we 412 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.240 got to get him more looks, And he basically said, 413 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.359 I'm gonna have a conversation with our staff about that. 414 00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.839 I wonder if that was like an Adam Stenovich thing 415 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.960 or something where Lafleur actually wanted to utilize him more 416 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:26.880 and he just wasn't out there. So I do wonder 417 00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:29.319 if we're going to see like an over correction on 418 00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.640 the Packers part where we might see actually seeing a 419 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:33.880 little extra muscrave this week. I don't know, I could 420 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:35.960 be reading too much, but it was just weird to 421 00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:37.279 hear him talk about it like that. 422 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.759 Well, I mean, you know, I I'm all for that, Like, 423 00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:41.240 if that's what it's going to take to get him 424 00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:43.599 more productive and get you know, some more of at 425 00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:46.240 least what what Tucker was giving us back, give him 426 00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:50.000 more targets all day. I'm absolutely you know, if that works, great. 427 00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:53.000 If they do that and it still doesn't really you know, 428 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.680 result in anything, then I think then we know our answer. 429 00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.240 And and the fact that Josh Wiley scores a touchdown 430 00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:02.400 from the tight end position for the Packers last week, 431 00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:08.880 just rubbing salt into the open from Green Bay to 432 00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:13.519 Tampa Bay. Let's talk about Sean Tucker. Scott Smith, who 433 00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:17.519 covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had this to say, after 434 00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.279 Josh Grizzard or Grizzard, Is it Grizzard or Grizzar Brizard? 435 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.480 I think, well, at least I'm saying it Grizzard because 436 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.400 that to me, I just feel like that that rolls 437 00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:28.440 off the tongue a little bit better. 438 00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:32.279 You're in Tampa too, right, Yeah, so you're the expert 439 00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:33.000 on this much more. 440 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:36.680 And he's from like Lizard Licks somewhere. That's like the 441 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:39.240 talent that he's from too, Like it's very it's. 442 00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:45.759 Very interesting bizard from lizard Lick. Yeah. Yeah, he said 443 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.839 Sean Tucker's workload is has been going up every week 444 00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:52.680 as he continues to do well, and he does expect 445 00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.160 that to continue. I would assume he's talking about not 446 00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:59.559 only Tucker doing well continuing, but Tucker's workload going up 447 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.759 week now. Irving and Sean you can check this out. 448 00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.920 I think it was a limited practice today for Tucker 449 00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:12.000 for Irving. Beg your pardon. So we don't know what 450 00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.759 the actual breakdown is going to be. This is a 451 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.680 game where the Buccaneers have to travel across the country 452 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.119 to take on a fairly tough defense in the Los 453 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:25.680 Angeles Rams. I'm kind of hoping for the people who 454 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.119 are counting on Sean Tucker this week that Irving doesn't play, 455 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.799 because if Irving is active in this game, what a 456 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:37.400 cluster f if between Sean Tucker Bucky Irving, perhaps splitting 457 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:41.000 Carries and Stacy. If we wide scope this because of 458 00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:44.359 Tucker's performance, this is going to cause problems not only 459 00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:47.559 week twelve, but going forward, because this could be a 460 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:50.440 really muddled backfield from what was fairly clean at the 461 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:53.599 start of the years. It's clear as a cloud, clear 462 00:22:53.640 --> 00:22:55.279 as as fog right now. 463 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:57.640 Well, it's like, how much do we hate running back 464 00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:01.279 by committees? Right? And now let's make it three? That's horrible, 465 00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.720 you know, and they're all three talented in their own Steff, 466 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:06.200 you know, they in their own ways. Right from what 467 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:09.079 I've been hearing like local radio here is that he 468 00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:12.359 is practicing on a limited basis, Bucky Irving, but he's 469 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.599 not going to be active for the game on Sunday night. 470 00:23:16.359 --> 00:23:18.680 I mean, well, fingers crossed will see if that's kind 471 00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:20.039 of but that's the way it looks like. It's it's 472 00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:23.440 trending anyway, so we may not have to worry about 473 00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:26.160 that at least for another week. But I've always been 474 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:28.200 a big Seantucker family. He was coming out of school, 475 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:30.240 you know, ends up going undrafted because of that heart 476 00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:33.920 issue that kind of gets discovered and everything. But you know, 477 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.359 and I've gotten to go to training camp a few 478 00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:37.119 times and see him up close, like he just looks 479 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.640 so explosive, and he's looked like the better running back 480 00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.640 the last couple of weeks and last year, you know, 481 00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:44.119 he had a couple of games at Flash. I think 482 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.880 he had a thirty point Fantasy game one of those weeks, 483 00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.519 I think where Shad White was out, Bucky was out 484 00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:51.119 something like that, he had the starting role. So I'm 485 00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.680 a big fan of Shontagar this week. I mean, it 486 00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.039 is a really tough defense there against the Rams. I hate, 487 00:23:56.119 --> 00:23:59.440 you know, teams going cross country. I don't normally like to, 488 00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:01.400 you know, I rely on guys that are kind of 489 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.119 coming in that way, but you know, it is what 490 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:07.279 it is. It's going into week twelve in Fantasy. A 491 00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:09.119 lot of us are starting Seawn Tucker this week. 492 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.599 You know, I want to get back to the Buccaneers here, 493 00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:15.880 but I'm nothing but a people pleaser here, Stacy. So 494 00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.000 I'm gonna go to Fireboroughs twenty six to seventy five. 495 00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:21.119 Watching us on YouTube right now, we like Dak and 496 00:24:21.240 --> 00:24:24.880 Purty question Mark. Now this could have multiple answers to 497 00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:28.640 it because I do happen to like rock Party this 498 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:32.400 week on Monday Night Football at home against the Panthers. 499 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:35.440 After what I saw last week THEO Greminger was calling 500 00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.200 him a league winner. I'm not going to go that far, 501 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.599 but I do think if you are in the playoffs 502 00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:42.319 right now, and you've kept Purty on your roster this 503 00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:44.880 whole time you waited on quarterback, yes, that this could 504 00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.119 be a boon for you. So I do like Purdy 505 00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:51.680 this week. Prescott on a short week against the Eagles. Yeah, 506 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.400 I know it's at home, but I do get nervous 507 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.000 about it. It's a weekly game, and I know this 508 00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:59.720 is lazy analysis, but it's a weekly game in fantasy, 509 00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:05.400 and I think so oftentimes we as fantasy players, analysts, whatever, 510 00:25:05.880 --> 00:25:10.519 we're prisoners of the moment, and recency bias clouds our 511 00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.039 judgment on these players. The Cowboys could be looking at 512 00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.920 being so good and producing so much on Monday night 513 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:20.880 and then like that, Prescott grows for one hundred and 514 00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:24.759 seventy yards pickings and Lamb failed the top sixty yards 515 00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.039 no touchdowns in that game, and the Cowboy and the 516 00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.400 Eagles win at fifteen to twelve or something like that. 517 00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.640 So it's very difficult for me to say, yeah, I 518 00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.160 like Prescott this week. Orderline top ten option. You may 519 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.000 not have a better option, but I like Purdy quite 520 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.880 a bit more than I like Prescott in Week. 521 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.920 Twelve, Yeah, same. I like the matchups that party has 522 00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.559 a lot more of their at home, you know, against 523 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:49.799 and I don't want to and I don't want to 524 00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.039 belittle the Panthers either, because they have made some strides. 525 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:53.839 They're not the Panthers they have been the last couple 526 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:55.480 of years, so their defense is a lot better than 527 00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:58.480 it has been. But still I still like Purty. I 528 00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:01.240 like their offense is a lot better and too. You 529 00:26:01.279 --> 00:26:03.720 look at the Cowboys in the Philly that's a divisional matchup. 530 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:05.920 They're going to play each other tough, you know. And 531 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.079 I just don't like what Philly's been doing to opposing 532 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.960 team's quarterbacks this year. You know, they've really been limiting them. 533 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:12.839 I think they're giving up like the tenth fewest Fantasy 534 00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.720 points to opposing teams quarterbacks. So you don't like that 535 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.400 at all. It's hard to not start Dak right unless 536 00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:21.400 you have a much better option, but I think you 537 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:23.079 definitely have to downgrade him this week. 538 00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:27.279 Fire Bros. You're very welcome. Hopefully it works out for 539 00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.599 analysis on party versus Prescott. Getting back to the Buccaneers 540 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:35.119 here Stacey Andrew Erickson and I'm gonna butcher this. Andrew 541 00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:38.319 Erickson for Fantasy Pros on a podcast this week, was 542 00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.680 talking about there was a safety that was hurt and 543 00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:46.440 he's still beat up coming into this game against the 544 00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:52.000 against the Buccaneers, and because he missed last week's game, 545 00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:54.400 the Rams were down to safety. They were forced to 546 00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.799 play one of their backup safeties and A. J. Barner 547 00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.960 ended up having a pretty good game for seattlegainst. Los Angeles. 548 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:03.839 Like I don't know what it was, like six seven targets. 549 00:27:03.839 --> 00:27:06.519 He caught like six of them for like, you know, 550 00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:08.960 forty fifty yards, which yeah, on the surface doesn't sound great, 551 00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.920 but tight end premium scoring. I mean that could be 552 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.640 a difference. And look at Kadott this week, who is 553 00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:18.200 coming into this game, granted, you know, off a poor game. 554 00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.359 He saw five targets, he catches two of them for 555 00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:23.359 twenty eight yards against the Bills. Kayd Atten has the 556 00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.839 most targets, receptions, and yardage of all NFL tight ends 557 00:27:27.839 --> 00:27:31.559 this season that have not scored touchdowns. I think this 558 00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:35.160 could be the week I like him against the Rams. 559 00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:39.079 I don't necessarily love Baker Mayfield in this matchup when 560 00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:42.039 I think Oughton could return good fantasy value. He's a 561 00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:46.799 player that I would think in FFPC tight end premium leagues. 562 00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.400 I'm not gonna say must start. But Stacy, I think 563 00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.599 he's darned close this week. 564 00:27:50.920 --> 00:27:53.079 I you know, I think there's a lot of there's 565 00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:56.799 a lot of guys that I would not start, you know, 566 00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:58.720 in fair I would I would start and over I 567 00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:01.920 think at this point, given the situation there, you know, 568 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.839 we are missing so many people in Tampa. I was 569 00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.839 just taking a look at target share percentages and over 570 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.000 the last three games, Atton's target shared percentage has gone 571 00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.079 from fifteen point six all the way up to twenty 572 00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:15.039 three point nine over the last three games. That is 573 00:28:15.160 --> 00:28:17.519 right behind him Meco Buca. So he's the number two 574 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:20.599 option right now for Mayfield, me Feld trust him. You know, 575 00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:22.319 he's a big body guy, can get out there and 576 00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.359 grab the ball, you know, gives him that other option there. 577 00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:27.599 So I really do like Katat and this week, especially 578 00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:29.599 in that tight end premium format, you know, like there's 579 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.000 just there's just not too many people. I feel more 580 00:28:32.039 --> 00:28:34.359 comfort confident starting over Katat and I think this. 581 00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:39.759 Week shout out to Okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna 582 00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:42.400 do this first shout out to our our man, Albert 583 00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:45.920 Marriken six to Zho two who said Quinton Lake is 584 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:49.759 the safety that Ericson was referring to. Quentin Lake played 585 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.440 thirty two of eighty four snaps against the Seahawks before 586 00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.799 he dislocated his elbow. Now had surgery and he's placed 587 00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.319 on ir so he is not playing this week. Another 588 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.640 reason to like, uh for sure in this And then 589 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:07.039 also Sean Engel, our producer Tonight Rondez Barber, Buccaneers legend 590 00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:11.559 who I believe covers the team he does, and he's 591 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:14.079 saying that Irving is going to be listed as out 592 00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.720 for Week twelve. So that clears things up a little 593 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.640 bit with with Sean Tucker. You know, I always I 594 00:29:19.680 --> 00:29:24.599 always bring this up. Dan Williamson from Player Profiler, Your colleague. 595 00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.599 There's Stacy who hosts the Fantasy Empire podcast. He said 596 00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.640 this last year, but I think it still rings true 597 00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:32.799 because he is not a rashad white guy. And he 598 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.680 says the three running backs in the Buccaneers backfield are Bucky, 599 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:43.599 Tucky and Sucky referring to Rashad White, and so he 600 00:29:43.599 --> 00:29:46.920 he is, and like I have White on on a 601 00:29:46.960 --> 00:29:50.559 few teams, and at this point, Stacy, I'm just keeping 602 00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.759 him around just in case the you know, like Irving 603 00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.480 isn't ready to come back next week and maybe something 604 00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:01.240 happens to Tucker, Like White is now basically a handcuff, right, 605 00:30:01.279 --> 00:30:03.880 He's an injury way type guy. I can't. I can't. 606 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:07.359 I can't give any reasons to keep him on your 607 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.279 roster other than the contingent upside. 608 00:30:09.640 --> 00:30:12.240 No, and he has put up some real stinkers the 609 00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.079 last few weeks, you know, when he has been hurt 610 00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:16.680 the first few weeks of the season, like he's had 611 00:30:16.720 --> 00:30:18.920 some games where he's popped, and I have him and 612 00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:20.640 eventually he's in my in my leags where I was 613 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:22.880 like holding off on a running back. He was one 614 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.880 that I went after, you know, because he had he 615 00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:28.200 actually among and this was kind of why I had 616 00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:31.200 justified it was he had I think six touch six 617 00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:35.200 receiving touchdowns last season, which was by far more than 618 00:30:35.240 --> 00:30:37.359 any other running back within his range of where you 619 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:40.279 were drafting him had and so that was kind of 620 00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:42.599 an upside play for me, was to go grab him 621 00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.319 for that, you know, kind of potential there. But yeah, 622 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.759 he's not looked great at all, and especially with Sean 623 00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:50.519 Tucker coming on and just you know, kind of cementing 624 00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:52.240 his role. I think, is you know going to be 625 00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.920 going forward running back to there? You know, I just 626 00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.920 I you have to hang on to him. It's that 627 00:30:57.960 --> 00:31:00.200 time of season, right especially if you drop him, he 628 00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:02.160 can't go back get him later or anything like that. 629 00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.319 So you're hanging on to him, but you're not going 630 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:06.480 to start him. 631 00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:10.200 Our mutual friend Adam Krautwurzt always says, never drop a 632 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:13.400 running back, Yeah, because you never do it. It always 633 00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.000 comes back to by you. I shouldn't say always, but 634 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.440 he usually comes back to Bye back to Tom Smith 635 00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.640 on YouTube any chance. Michael Wilson has a decent game 636 00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.759 this week with Marvin Harrison Junior out again. Yeah, we 637 00:31:24.839 --> 00:31:28.319 found out yesterday that Harrison has already been ruled out 638 00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:32.359 for Week twelve against the Jaguars, and the fact that 639 00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:34.359 he is ruled out this early, I think you can 640 00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:36.680 start looking at like, God, is he even gonna be 641 00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:41.240 available in week thirteen. Mike Wilson fifteen catches one hundred 642 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:44.000 and eighty five yards, which, by the way, to the 643 00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:47.000 surprise of no one, is more catches and yards than 644 00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:50.880 Harrison has ever had in a single game. Now the 645 00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:53.319 Cardinals are throwing it a ton. I don't know how 646 00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:56.079 much that changes if Trey Benson comes back this week 647 00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.519 or maybe in weeks going forward. But Brissette I paid 648 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.519 the through the nose for in a couple of Dynasty 649 00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.240 leagues last night because I needed to have a guy 650 00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:08.160 like this on my roster, especially with Michael Pennox being 651 00:32:08.200 --> 00:32:11.839 sent to I had no answers for backup quarterbacks those leagues. 652 00:32:12.599 --> 00:32:14.839 So when when we look at it from from the 653 00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:17.720 standpoint of Michael Wilson bringing it back to that, I 654 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:21.480 don't see a reason that the Cardinals just go back to, 655 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:25.200 you know, running the ball, running the ball, running the ball. 656 00:32:25.559 --> 00:32:28.359 This is how their bread is buttered. It's Jacoby Brissette 657 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.960 throwing the ball all over the field. I love McBride 658 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:34.599 this week. I like Michael Wilson. So to answer Tom's question, 659 00:32:35.160 --> 00:32:37.359 any chance he has a decent game, Yes, I think 660 00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:39.599 there's a good chance he has a decent game. And 661 00:32:39.640 --> 00:32:41.880 I also think there's a solid chance he has another 662 00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:43.680 good game. I don't know about fifteen for one hundred 663 00:32:43.680 --> 00:32:45.559 and eighty five, but I do like him this week 664 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.680 against the Jags for sure. 665 00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:49.599 Yeah, oh, same, absolutely. I mean, yeah, I don't think 666 00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:51.480 he's going to one hundred and eighty five yards again 667 00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:53.599 this week, but I do think that he's going to 668 00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:55.839 have a really great game, you know, besides Trey McBride, 669 00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.759 He's going to be the guy there. You know, I 670 00:32:57.759 --> 00:32:59.319 think we're going to probably touch on doors here in 671 00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:01.720 a little bit, but but yeah, I really do like 672 00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:04.799 Michael Wilson this week. I think he's just a phenomenally talented, 673 00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:07.000 you know, receiver. He's had a lot of injury issues, 674 00:33:07.759 --> 00:33:09.480 you know, coming out of college and everything that he's 675 00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:11.759 dealt with, but you know, it seems like he's finally healthy. 676 00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.160 He's really connected with percent and Brissette has kind of 677 00:33:14.160 --> 00:33:16.559 come in and just kind of been that guy that 678 00:33:16.880 --> 00:33:19.200 would they say, like a rising tide lifts all boats, 679 00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.799 like that's exactly what he's done with this offense. It's 680 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:26.279 lived night and day better than it has with Kyler Murray. 681 00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:27.839 And I mean, you think you can take a look 682 00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:29.559 at the stats with with Trey McBride, how he was 683 00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.400 never getting in the end zone with Murray and now 684 00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.920 he's had what seven touchdowns this season? So yeah, just 685 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:38.799 all day with it with the Cardinals, Wilson McBride, all 686 00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:39.599 those guys. 687 00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:44.920 I want to ask you the question on Twitch we're 688 00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:48.000 getting from Vimy Machiedo. I think that I'm pronouncing that right, 689 00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:53.039 Vivia Machiedo, Yo, should I start Jordan Addison or Alec Pierce? 690 00:33:53.720 --> 00:33:57.039 Jordan Addison going up against the Packers at lambeau Field 691 00:33:57.079 --> 00:33:58.640 still up in the air, may or may not go 692 00:33:58.680 --> 00:34:02.799 to that game versus Alec Pearce who is at Narrowhead, 693 00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:04.119 and I have made up my mind I will not 694 00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:07.000 be at that game this week. I look at this 695 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.719 from the standpoint of the quarterback. Now, this is what 696 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:12.559 we should We probably should have let off the show 697 00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.199 with this, and this is my fault. But to answer 698 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.199 this question, I think we have to talk about Daniel 699 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:20.280 Jones here. First, Stacy, he was not on the injury 700 00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:24.400 report yesterday and then he's listed as a limited participant 701 00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:28.280 today with a calf injury. So this is a midweek downgrade. 702 00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:32.480 Ian Rapaport said that he believes the Colts are being 703 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:37.159 cautious in this, so that's probably good. I think he 704 00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:39.480 plays at this point, but this does throw a little 705 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:42.039 bit of cold water on this. The good part about 706 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.400 this neither one of these teams play tonight, so we'll 707 00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:46.679 find out what the practice reports are for Jones and 708 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.079 so on and so forth by the time Sunday rolls around. 709 00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:52.840 We have to get these lineups solidified. My belief is 710 00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.559 I trust Daniel. I can't believe I'm saying this. I 711 00:34:55.639 --> 00:35:00.559 trust Daniel Jones more than JJ McCarthy at this point. 712 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.800 And the fact that Alec Pearce has been so prevalent 713 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:06.800 in the rise of Daniel Jones to you know, being 714 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:10.800 a quasi MVP candidate right now, it's tough for me 715 00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.920 to say. Yeah, no, I like Addison better than Pierce. Here. 716 00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:18.199 I think I would play Pierce assuming Jones is active 717 00:35:18.199 --> 00:35:20.519 for this game, which I think he will be. Assuming 718 00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.039 he's active, I would play Pierce over Addison. What would 719 00:35:24.039 --> 00:35:25.079 you do? Yeah? 720 00:35:25.159 --> 00:35:26.840 I mean, well, first off, you have to refer to 721 00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:30.400 Daniel Jones as his alter ego, Indiana Jones, which makes 722 00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.559 him much cooler than Daniel Jones. I do like Pierce 723 00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:38.000 more than Addison this week. I don't like what I'm 724 00:35:38.000 --> 00:35:41.239 seeing out of JJ McCarthy at all. Don't care for that. 725 00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:44.840 I think you've seen like a definite downgrade in how 726 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:47.760 Jefferson's been able to produce Addison too. It's affected both 727 00:35:47.760 --> 00:35:50.079 of them. So you know, Kansas City is going to 728 00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:51.559 be a tough defense. That's going to be a tough 729 00:35:51.599 --> 00:35:55.320 matchup for the Colts. But I still think given the 730 00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:58.760 target share, I mean, he's he's kind of pushing alt 731 00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.599 Pearce is kind of pushing for for wide receiver one 732 00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.920 there with against Michael Pittman. You know, he's taken over 733 00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.400 a lot of that target share lately the last several games. 734 00:36:06.440 --> 00:36:08.519 So I gotta go Pierce on this one. I think 735 00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:11.960 right now, just go at the hot hand somewhere. 736 00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:15.480 Your cousin, Farrell Elliott's head is exploding right now with 737 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:19.320 this Michael and sacrilege blast that we're hearing. But I 738 00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:24.159 think you're right for what it's worth they are, So yeah, 739 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:26.400 I think it's Pierce over Addison and we'll stay We'll 740 00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:29.400 stay on on twitch here with ex plub boo if 741 00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:33.880 I'm pronouncing that right, Hey, Kenneth Walker or Quinn Shawn Judkins. 742 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.639 This week, Kenneth Walker at Tennessee We'll talk more about 743 00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.119 Walker later. I have some thoughts on this quin Shawn 744 00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:42.440 Judkins at Las Vegas. Love the matchup for Judkins here, 745 00:36:42.679 --> 00:36:45.519 I am playing Judkins over Walker, even with the uptick 746 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:48.760 in production and touches for Walker. I can't in good 747 00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:52.920 conscience sit Judkins in favor of Walker. Yeah. 748 00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:55.360 Same not with that matchup. And and then we don't 749 00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:57.800 know who is it going to be Sanders at quarterback? 750 00:36:57.920 --> 00:37:01.480 For sure? I mean I I think Stefanski announced it 751 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.079 that that Gabriel is not clearing concussion protocol, and then 752 00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:08.000 it will be Sanders at quarterback. Yeah, I just how 753 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:10.159 do you play that, Stacy? When you think about that, like, oh, 754 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:12.880 that means more action in the running game for Judkins, 755 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:14.519 but that also means like, are they going to be 756 00:37:14.519 --> 00:37:16.760 able to sustain drives with should Sanders at quarterback? 757 00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:19.079 I don't know, That's what That's what I feel like. 758 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:23.239 Max Crosby is gonna make Should Sanders day real miserable. 759 00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:26.400 And so I'm definitely all in on the Dunkins train 760 00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.239 right now. 761 00:37:27.880 --> 00:37:30.760 The one of the I mean, there's plenty of criticisms 762 00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:33.000 on Sanders coming out of Colorado, but one of the 763 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:36.199 biggest I heard was how many sacks this dude took 764 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:40.000 like just inexcusable amounts of time where he's holding onto 765 00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:42.280 the football and not getting rid of it. We saw 766 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.960 some of that this past week. Now he will get 767 00:37:44.960 --> 00:37:47.639 the opportunity to run with the first team and have 768 00:37:47.719 --> 00:37:50.159 a full week of reps. I don't know how much 769 00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:53.440 that figures into it. And it is the Raiders defense 770 00:37:53.480 --> 00:37:55.280 this week too, so there's something we said for that. 771 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.559 That said, I have picked up the Raiders defense in 772 00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.199 a few of my fantasy leagues, and I'll be running 773 00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:01.199 them out there against Sugar the same. 774 00:38:01.360 --> 00:38:03.320 That was a popular one though. You know, when I 775 00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:04.760 was looking at like, all right, who am I going 776 00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:07.639 to go? I was like, well, let's throw Vegas in 777 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:08.039 this week. 778 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:14.239 Yeah. I do you normally stream defenses in your league? Stacy? 779 00:38:14.239 --> 00:38:15.920 How do you normally handle that? Yeah? 780 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:18.599 I mean so unless I'm in Kentucky, right, and that's 781 00:38:18.639 --> 00:38:22.440 a whole different scoring with defense, But normally I am. 782 00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:24.559 I'm that's my it's gonna be my last pick that 783 00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:26.280 if I have to play with a kicker or something 784 00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:27.639 too like, those two are going to be my last 785 00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:29.400 two picks, and then I'll deal with it from week 786 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.000 to week. You know, I might try to get like 787 00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:34.840 a decent one occasionally if if it works out, But 788 00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:38.119 for the most part, I think just they're not They're 789 00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:42.199 going to give you probably the same of points right 790 00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:44.320 as maybe like a flex option, maybe a lower end 791 00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:47.039 flex something like that from week to week. So I'm 792 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.199 not as worried about that. So I just prefer usually 793 00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:51.880 let me let me go match up to match up. 794 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:54.440 I probably shouldn't be telling you this because we compete 795 00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:56.079 in a lot of leagues together. But the way I've 796 00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:59.800 handled defenses in Kentucky, even though the defensive scoring is 797 00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:03.840 scoring on steroids, are I still stream defenses there. I 798 00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.719 usually what I'll do is nineteenth round, twentieth round, I'll 799 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:12.760 grab a defense that has a good Week one matchup 800 00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.159 or whatever. I think people have been kind of duplicating 801 00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:16.639 that over the year, so that's a little bit more 802 00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:22.320 difficult to do, so I'll try to grab it. Yes, exactly, huge, Yeah, 803 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:24.559 and that wasn't even just week one. They had a 804 00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:29.360 really good September six weeks. Yeah. Yeah, So after like 805 00:39:29.400 --> 00:39:31.199 eight or nine are off the board, I'll grab one. 806 00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:35.159 But then, like I begin my defensive evolution over the 807 00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.360 course of the season because of bye weeks and stuff, 808 00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:40.119 people start dropping these defenses. There's a lot of people 809 00:39:40.119 --> 00:39:43.519 that will invest in two defenses in Kentucky and then 810 00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:45.400 inevitably are like, God, I got to cut one of 811 00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:47.280 these guys to get a third wide receiver in my 812 00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.320 lineup this week, and then I just sort of cobble 813 00:39:49.360 --> 00:39:52.159 them together. So I'm constantly like looking at rest of 814 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.079 season schedule and trying to figure out, you know, and 815 00:39:55.119 --> 00:39:58.000 then I like, typically I do like to have two defenses. Yeah, 816 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.679 you know, optimally I'm saying, like a top five defense 817 00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:04.000 every single week based on the matchup. The rest of 818 00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:06.480 the season doesn't always go that way. That's usually like 819 00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.480 how I had to handle it. Okay, a lot on 820 00:40:09.559 --> 00:40:14.599 defense there the uh. By the way, Tom chiming into 821 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:19.320 our defensive discussion, Dallas defense last week, Raiders defense this week. 822 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:23.639 Who knew? But you know what, that's that's fantasy, right 823 00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:26.239 that that's part of the game. And if you can 824 00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:29.880 and if you can nail that part of your lineup down, 825 00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:32.159 you're gonna have an advantage over a lot of your 826 00:40:32.159 --> 00:40:35.639 opponents this year. And krimny on on Twitch, but shout 827 00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:37.679 out to all the twitch users tonight This is awesome 828 00:40:37.960 --> 00:40:40.320 seeing so many twitch people in here. I hate to 829 00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:43.760 ask kicker question, but very close week and it's must win. 830 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:49.760 Go Fairbairn tonight or stick with McLaughlin versus the Rams now, Stacy, 831 00:40:49.800 --> 00:40:53.199 I don't know if I have any miracle kicker analysis 832 00:40:53.239 --> 00:40:53.559 on this. 833 00:40:53.760 --> 00:40:54.360 I have. 834 00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.559 I utilized fairbarn earlier in the season, then I the 835 00:40:58.599 --> 00:41:00.360 middle part of the season. Then I cut him in 836 00:41:00.400 --> 00:41:01.920 a lot of leagues when he had that injury. I 837 00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:04.400 think he had an injury, right, yeah, he did, yeah, 838 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:06.760 And so I caught him and I do have McLaughlin 839 00:41:06.840 --> 00:41:09.400 in a lot of spots. Now I don't necessarily think 840 00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:12.719 it's the greatest matchup. I'm just seeing this right now too. 841 00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.679 He's no injury designation? Are you talking about for fair Baron? 842 00:41:17.760 --> 00:41:22.960 Is that what now, McLaughlin? Yeah? Why is he listed 843 00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:24.760 as questionable? Or am I looking at that? I might 844 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:25.320 be looking at this. 845 00:41:25.760 --> 00:41:27.679 So I had looked up because I knew that I 846 00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:29.760 had seen something earlier in the week about fair Baron, 847 00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.000 so I wanted to check and see and it just 848 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:34.920 the latest news from yesterday was that he has no 849 00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:37.880 injury designation. I just looked at this and this was 850 00:41:37.880 --> 00:41:41.000 something that I had not realized. Fair Baron has the 851 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:43.679 most Fantasy points per game of all kickers. 852 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.800 Wow, so that is surprising. 853 00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:51.920 McLaughlin is at nine point nine. He's tenth overall. Fair 854 00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:55.000 Baron's eleven point nine. So not a huge difference there. 855 00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.920 They're both in domes. That's usually kind of how I 856 00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.320 pick my kickers is who's going to play in homes 857 00:42:00.320 --> 00:42:02.199 more often, especially when you get towards the end of 858 00:42:02.239 --> 00:42:05.280 the season, you know, with the nasty weather everywhere. So 859 00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.760 that's kind of how I go with it. Tonight, You've 860 00:42:08.760 --> 00:42:10.840 got those two guys that looks like they're they're the 861 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:13.800 dome question has been answered. I gotta go with fairbarn here. 862 00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:23.039 I'm gonna say this, I I I like just comment. 863 00:42:27.280 --> 00:42:30.039 I'm saying that fairban could be seventy five percent of 864 00:42:30.079 --> 00:42:33.320 the Texans points tonight, which is not wrong. That's not wrong. 865 00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:35.079 The total that is forty four and a half. The 866 00:42:35.119 --> 00:42:37.400 total on the Buccaneers Rams game is forty nine and 867 00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:41.079 a half. Both of these teams are underdogs, the Bucks 868 00:42:41.079 --> 00:42:42.800 by six and a half, the Texans by five and 869 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:44.440 a half. So I don't think there's much the glean 870 00:42:44.519 --> 00:42:50.480 on there. I you know, It kind of depends upon 871 00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:52.880 like what your what your roster looks like. Are you 872 00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:57.559 dropping somebody to pick up Fairbarn? Are you dropping McLaughlin 873 00:42:57.639 --> 00:43:00.280 to pick up Fairbarn? That I would not do rather 874 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.719 after Laughlin the remainder of the season, even with that 875 00:43:03.039 --> 00:43:05.159 great stat that you brought up a vote fair Bear, 876 00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:08.480 if you have both of them on your team, then yes, 877 00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.880 it's it's it's Fairbarn. This is so razor thin. Stacey 878 00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:14.880 is a better fantasy player than I am, so I'm 879 00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.840 gonna go with HER's say it's Fairbarn tonight because it's 880 00:43:17.840 --> 00:43:20.360 that close. I don't know, you know, it just so 881 00:43:20.360 --> 00:43:26.119 so and listen, the lights shine on those primetime players. 882 00:43:26.519 --> 00:43:29.880 So why wouldn't you want to watch Thursday night football 883 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:32.039 and enjoy, you know, kick back with a cold one 884 00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:34.559 and watch fair Bear wipe all these field goals as 885 00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:36.880 the Bills defeat them thirty five to twelve. I think 886 00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:37.880 that's the way to look at it. 887 00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:39.920 I don't know, you know, And usually I was just 888 00:43:39.920 --> 00:43:42.400 thinking now, like my rule with domes and then my 889 00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:44.639 other one of my other rules is like I normally 890 00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:47.079 hate Thursday night games and I try to avoid them 891 00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:50.199 as much as possible because they're always weird. There's always 892 00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:53.400 something strange that's going to happen. And I was like, well, 893 00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:56.199 that goes against my Thursday night rule, but you know 894 00:43:56.239 --> 00:43:59.199 it's kickers, guys like who knows who's going to do 895 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:00.639 what from which week. 896 00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:02.840 I think that's the best advice we can give you, 897 00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:05.960 is like we think fair baron, but you know, with 898 00:44:06.079 --> 00:44:09.440 the level of confidence we have in this is not great. 899 00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:14.440 All right, So we have flies beats chiming in right now. 900 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.880 Flies appreciate the kind words from you. Chase Brown with 901 00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:21.960 no Jamar Chase or Bres Hall with no justin field. 902 00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.000 So if we look at this game, not the greatest 903 00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:28.599 matchup for the Bengals taking on the New England Patriots, 904 00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:31.239 but Joe Burrow could be back for this game too, 905 00:44:31.239 --> 00:44:34.800 which I think is interesting. I think Breese Hall is fine. 906 00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:36.440 It's just really difficult for me to believe in that 907 00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:39.480 Jets offense and the fact that this is the Week 908 00:44:39.599 --> 00:44:42.800 twelve Ravens defense rather than the Week four or five 909 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:46.320 Ravens defense. To me, stacy has me thinking like I 910 00:44:46.360 --> 00:44:49.159 got to play Chase Brown here. I can't sit Brown, 911 00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:52.440 especially if Burrow's back out there. I can't sit Chase 912 00:44:52.440 --> 00:44:53.800 Brown in favor of Bree Hall. 913 00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:57.880 Here well, Welky, I hate disagreeing with you. I think 914 00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:02.639 I got to take Breese. I don't like Chase Brown 915 00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:04.840 this week against the Patriots. They are giving up I 916 00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:08.239 think it's the fewest rushing yards per game this season. 917 00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.960 I saw a stat, I guess, I think maybe two 918 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:16.079 weeks ago that said the only running back so far 919 00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:18.119 the season that had managed to get more than fifty 920 00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:21.079 yards on the New England defense was there one and 921 00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:25.000 only Shawn Tucker. John couldn't do it. There's a whole 922 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:27.599 list of you know, your top tier running backs, not 923 00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:29.079 one of them had been able to do it. The 924 00:45:29.079 --> 00:45:31.159 only one that could do with Shaun Tucker. So that 925 00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:33.039 to me says, you know what, Chase Brown, You're not 926 00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:36.199 having a great season anyway. You've been pretty disappointing. I 927 00:45:36.199 --> 00:45:38.679 think this is going to be We're thrown from behind 928 00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:41.880 a lot during this game. So I'm going to go 929 00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:44.320 with I'd rather have the Sincy pass catchers than I 930 00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:45.880 want anything to do with their backfield. 931 00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:48.840 But is Chase Brown not a sincey pass catcher? 932 00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:50.639 Oh, fair touche. 933 00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:53.840 Yeah, I don't know. You could be right, because because 934 00:45:54.480 --> 00:45:57.119 here's the thing, you could be right and wrong at 935 00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:00.639 the same time. Where Brown gets like thirty five fortyrushing yards, 936 00:46:00.840 --> 00:46:03.639 but he catches seven balls for like sixty yards, yeah, 937 00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:06.480 and a touchdown and a touchdown. Who knows the total 938 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:08.960 in that game is fifty and a half and Cincinnati 939 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:11.480 is obviously going to have it. We say it's a 940 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.760 negative game script for Chase Brown, but because how involved 941 00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:17.519 in the passing game he is, and then maybe it's 942 00:46:17.519 --> 00:46:19.800 not a get negative game script now to throw another 943 00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:23.000 pepper in the gumbo here this is Burrow or or 944 00:46:23.039 --> 00:46:26.039 it could be Burrow not Flacco, and Burrow I think 945 00:46:26.159 --> 00:46:28.480 is talented enough where he doesn't need to necessarily check 946 00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.400 it down as much as Flacco does. Right, But Burrow 947 00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:34.920 won't have Chase. So then do you, if you're Cincinnati, 948 00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.679 if you're Zach Taylor, do you design stuff for Chase 949 00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:39.159 Brown to get more involved in the game. Do you 950 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:41.320 do you get these screen passes to him? Do you 951 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:43.519 utilize him, you know, over the middle, just for the 952 00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.440 quick four or five six hitters, four or five six 953 00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:50.199 yard hitters. I don't know, so I I think I'm 954 00:46:50.239 --> 00:46:53.000 with you. I don't see a really good path to 955 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:56.599 rushing success in this game for Chase Brown, but not 956 00:46:56.679 --> 00:47:02.119 necessarily in fantasy success. Now, now to kind of disagree 957 00:47:02.159 --> 00:47:05.559 with myself here, the Jets are thirteen and a half 958 00:47:05.599 --> 00:47:09.880 point underdogs, and I don't see Breese Hall having success 959 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.280 rushing the football, but we know how talented he is 960 00:47:13.320 --> 00:47:16.320 catching the football. Both of these guys could get shut 961 00:47:16.400 --> 00:47:20.039 down from a rushing standpoint, Stacy and then still blow 962 00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:22.679 up with you know, a half dozen catches or maybe 963 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.960 even more in these games too, which is wild. So 964 00:47:26.440 --> 00:47:29.360 I guess when it comes down to it, Stacy is 965 00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:33.840 saying Hall, I am saying Chase Brown, we can't help you. Flies. Yeah, 966 00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:37.079 got on this one. But I will say, listen to Stacy. 967 00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:41.719 Okay, this sounds like my worst nightmare of like a 968 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:48.360 multiple choice question, like. 969 00:47:46.679 --> 00:47:48.599 You know, if you could play both of them, great, 970 00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.079 but apparently, you know Flys team is so good he's 971 00:47:51.079 --> 00:47:53.480 got to sit one of them. So there you go 972 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:57.159 on that. Now it's keeping it on the running back conversation. 973 00:47:57.239 --> 00:48:01.199 Let's go to Minnesota. Six carries, forty five yards and 974 00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:04.880 a touchdown for Jordan Mason this past week against the Bears. 975 00:48:05.239 --> 00:48:10.119 It was a ripe matchup for the Vikings, and yet 976 00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:14.119 it was Aaron Jones who really dominated the backfield sixteen carries, 977 00:48:14.159 --> 00:48:17.199 three catches, ran a lot more routes than Jordan Mason 978 00:48:17.199 --> 00:48:21.119 to no one's surprise. In his last four games combined, 979 00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:24.800 for Jordan Mason twenty four rushing attempts, and we know 980 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:27.719 he doesn't normally catch passes, you keep him on your 981 00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.199 bench for contingent upside. I don't want to play him 982 00:48:30.199 --> 00:48:34.519 anywhere this week against the Packers, and I do believe 983 00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:36.800 a little bit of extra juice for Aaron Jones coming 984 00:48:36.840 --> 00:48:39.760 back to lambeau Field. Jones is the play over Mason 985 00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:42.400 this week. I don't think Mason's flexible at all, and 986 00:48:42.400 --> 00:48:43.880 I don't care what format you're playing in. 987 00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:47.199 Yeah, I completely agree. I think Jordan Mason heard all 988 00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:50.440 of us talking trash about him last week and then 989 00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.000 went out and scored a touchdown. But I don't think 990 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:54.920 that's going to stop me this week either. It's Aaron 991 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:57.760 Jones's week for sure against the Packers there in Green Bay, 992 00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:00.840 and man, that's going to be Aaron Jones was one 993 00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:03.039 of my favorite Packers, so this's just always hard to watch. 994 00:49:03.079 --> 00:49:06.039 But yeah, I think it's Aaron Jones's wheat for sure, Mason, 995 00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:08.239 I think that's an outlier. I don't think that's going 996 00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:10.320 to be the normal for him going forward. He's going 997 00:49:10.400 --> 00:49:12.400 to go kind of, you know, regress back to what 998 00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:13.920 he'd been doing the last several games. 999 00:49:14.599 --> 00:49:17.679 You know what's funny about Aaron Jones and and you 1000 00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:21.239 know he was beloved obviously in Green Bay. It was 1001 00:49:21.519 --> 00:49:26.719 there's been a significant history of beloved Packers going to Minnesota. Uh, 1002 00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.400 you know, Aaron Jones just continues down that line. We 1003 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.760 had Aaron Jones do it, we had Greg Jennings do it, 1004 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:33.599 we had Brett barv do it. Like it's just it 1005 00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:35.760 seems like it's sort of like, you. 1006 00:49:35.639 --> 00:49:38.480 Know, Rogers wanted to do it, and Rogers. 1007 00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:40.159 Wanted to do it. It almost seemed like, you know, 1008 00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:44.880 wherever your next team is, your connecting flight was in Minneapolis, 1009 00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.320 flying out of Green Bay, and then you just stayed 1010 00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:49.239 there like the Vikings just kept you there and you 1011 00:49:49.320 --> 00:49:51.400 never got to your next your next team. I don't 1012 00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.480 all right, let's talk about bash'all tooton. This is a 1013 00:49:54.480 --> 00:49:57.400 fun one here. We found out yesterday and Sean, you 1014 00:49:57.440 --> 00:49:59.639 could check this out. I have not seen the Jacksonville 1015 00:49:59.679 --> 00:50:02.280 practice reports today. But I can tell you that Tuton 1016 00:50:02.400 --> 00:50:05.920 was limited in practice yesterday. He hurt his ankle late 1017 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.920 in the week eleven game, and he was on pace 1018 00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:11.639 for a massive game. Still got seventy four yards, still 1019 00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:16.519 got a touchdown fifteen attempts in this game too, Travis Etn, 1020 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:18.760 I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. I think he's 1021 00:50:18.800 --> 00:50:22.440 dealing with an injury right now. To Stacy. Yeah, so 1022 00:50:24.599 --> 00:50:27.760 the gap is obviously closing between these two players. This 1023 00:50:27.840 --> 00:50:30.119 was Tuton's probably his best game as a pro, I think, 1024 00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:33.719 and when it comes down to it, both of these 1025 00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:37.320 guys need to be rostered. I am not one of 1026 00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:39.599 the people that is going to say, hey, if these 1027 00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:41.760 guys are both active, I want Tuton in my lineup. 1028 00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:45.079 It's still ETN for me. But man, it's getting close, 1029 00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:47.960 and I wonder for all of us. And I don't 1030 00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:49.320 know if I ever said Tuton was going to be 1031 00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:50.800 a league winner this year, I might have I do 1032 00:50:50.840 --> 00:50:52.280 a lot of shows, I say a lot of crazy 1033 00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:53.960 stuff at some point that might have come out of 1034 00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:57.039 my mouth. But as far as Tuton being a league winner, 1035 00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.559 if ETN were to go down, based on what I 1036 00:50:59.599 --> 00:51:02.360 saw this past week, and based on what could happen 1037 00:51:02.400 --> 00:51:05.960 this week against Arizona, I don't know, like Tuton is 1038 00:51:06.000 --> 00:51:09.039 all of a sudden a very exciting player again here 1039 00:51:09.039 --> 00:51:09.840 in late November. 1040 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:12.960 Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean I had to start Tuton 1041 00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:15.440 in a league, and you know, I was not mad 1042 00:51:15.440 --> 00:51:17.320 about it until I saw that injury, and then I 1043 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:20.079 was kind of freaking out. But you know, hopefully he's 1044 00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:21.719 back this week and it's not going to be an 1045 00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:24.280 issue going forward. But you know, I mean they haven't 1046 00:51:24.320 --> 00:51:27.119 had much luck in the passing game there in Jacksonville, 1047 00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:29.199 so you know, I think they are going to have 1048 00:51:29.239 --> 00:51:31.760 to keep cleaning on their their running backs. So I 1049 00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.840 like Tuton. Hopefully he is back, Hopefully that ankle is 1050 00:51:34.840 --> 00:51:38.119 is going to be okay for Sunday. But yeah, I mean, 1051 00:51:38.159 --> 00:51:39.760 and and you're right, I mean we are still starting 1052 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:42.119 etn if if that's the choice, if they're both back 1053 00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:46.679 there and they're both healthy. But men, tutin Is, if 1054 00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:48.679 you got what week was he getting picked up off 1055 00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:50.000 waivers Balky, do you remember? 1056 00:51:50.840 --> 00:51:53.760 Oh, it's a good question that that would. 1057 00:51:53.519 --> 00:51:55.159 Mean that that's kind of what I want to go 1058 00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:56.880 back to, because that's that's where you're gonna see. I 1059 00:51:56.920 --> 00:51:59.119 mean if he if he ends up staying healthy, there's 1060 00:51:59.280 --> 00:52:02.400 maybe there's some things going on with with ETN that 1061 00:52:02.480 --> 00:52:05.119 can I limit his production a little bit. I think 1062 00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:07.719 he he would be a top candidate for a league 1063 00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:09.559 winner if somebody you grabbed off flavors. 1064 00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:13.199 So uh and and we're also getting Joe King pointing 1065 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.519 this out. Remember Brian Thomas Junior, who I do believe 1066 00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:19.599 logged in a limited practice yesterday back this week as well. 1067 00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:21.880 No one's remembering Brian Thomas Jr. 1068 00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:24.440 Oh I remember him. I definitely remember him because I 1069 00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:28.280 got burned. Yes, you know what's funny is one of 1070 00:52:28.320 --> 00:52:32.679 my Kentucky dynasties. I won the league last year, Stacey, 1071 00:52:32.719 --> 00:52:34.800 and I'm like, god, this is amazing. Look at this 1072 00:52:34.840 --> 00:52:36.880 team and it's a really good team. And it was 1073 00:52:36.960 --> 00:52:40.199 highlighted by I got Molik Neighbors and Brian Thomas, I 1074 00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:43.039 two first round picks highlight So I'm like love and 1075 00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:47.000 life coming into the season, I'm not anymore with that team. 1076 00:52:47.039 --> 00:52:49.039 And that team went from first place and it did 1077 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:51.519 not make the playoffs this year, which it like it 1078 00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:54.519 humbles you fantasy football does. For sure. 1079 00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:56.599 I'm in the same I don't know how many teams were. 1080 00:52:56.599 --> 00:52:58.320 I was in the later part of the draft and 1081 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:00.920 I took Brian Thomas junior and that just haunting. 1082 00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:05.199 You know what's sick about this is I was lamenting 1083 00:53:05.320 --> 00:53:07.960 having all these top three picks in Kentucky this year, 1084 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:10.840 Like God, I got so many freaking Jamar Chase teams 1085 00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.840 and whatever, Am I ever gonna get a Malik Neighbors team? 1086 00:53:14.039 --> 00:53:16.480 Am I ever going to get a Brian Thomas team, and, 1087 00:53:16.519 --> 00:53:19.079 to a certain extent, a Nico Collins team. Well finally 1088 00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:21.159 I started getting them, and you know what, those teams 1089 00:53:21.199 --> 00:53:22.280 didn't turn out so great. 1090 00:53:22.599 --> 00:53:24.920 Nope, nope. I'm not ready to talk about Nico either. 1091 00:53:24.960 --> 00:53:27.400 I have I'm so overexposed on Nico Collins as it's 1092 00:53:27.400 --> 00:53:29.880 working out now, it's okay, but you know, most of 1093 00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:31.480 those teams are dead anyway at this point. 1094 00:53:31.599 --> 00:53:35.679 So for more analysis on Nico Collins, stick around because 1095 00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:38.360 Stacy's going to be talking about Collins, some of these 1096 00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:41.000 other Texans wide receivers, and we'll talk about what's going 1097 00:53:41.039 --> 00:53:43.400 on with Khalil Shakir and maybe more importantly, what the 1098 00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:46.000 heck is going on with Keon Coleman. Our Thursday Night 1099 00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:49.719 Football preview is up next here on FFPC Insider Access 1100 00:53:49.880 --> 00:53:52.639 on the Better Sports Network. Stacey Perez Fantasy and Frames 1101 00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:56.079 player profiler, Dynasty djens, I'm Eric Balkman. Stick around. We 1102 00:53:56.280 --> 00:53:59.239 give you our Bills Texans preview right after. 1103 00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:04.000 This, folks, let me talk to you about my favorite 1104 00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.519 weekly platform to play on. You know, we all play Dynasty, 1105 00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.320 and we all play Redraft, but we got to find 1106 00:54:10.320 --> 00:54:14.440 someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC Weekly Challenge is 1107 00:54:14.559 --> 00:54:17.440 my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of 1108 00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:21.119 the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a 1109 00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:24.320 draft to make a team, or even having to play 1110 00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:26.679 against these people that are stacking up the same team, 1111 00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.239 stacking up certain games, and you feel like you have 1112 00:54:29.239 --> 00:54:31.199 to put in a million entries or or have to 1113 00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:33.679 have those certain stacks to win, then come play over 1114 00:54:33.719 --> 00:54:37.719 at FFPC. Really, the only main rule that you have 1115 00:54:37.760 --> 00:54:40.400 to deal with is that you cannot select multiple players 1116 00:54:40.440 --> 00:54:42.559 from the same team. I'm going out and I'm trying 1117 00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:44.920 to find the best of the best of the best 1118 00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:47.320 players and put them into a lineup, and that's what 1119 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:50.159 you can do over at my FFPC. You can go 1120 00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:53.199 out and you can take the number one running back 1121 00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:56.559 in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley. 1122 00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:58.199 As long as they're not in the same team. You 1123 00:54:58.239 --> 00:55:00.440 can put them all into a lineup right. And there's 1124 00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:03.079 four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility. 1125 00:55:03.440 --> 00:55:06.440 There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses, 1126 00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.880 one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a 1127 00:55:09.880 --> 00:55:11.760 bunch of different price points. You can play out thirty 1128 00:55:11.760 --> 00:55:14.719 five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy 1129 00:55:14.800 --> 00:55:17.199 in and you're going out and you're just picking the 1130 00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:20.199 absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of 1131 00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:22.519 a sleeper there's somebody that you think can really blow 1132 00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.840 up that week. And that's how it works. It's one 1133 00:55:24.880 --> 00:55:28.320 of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers, 1134 00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.599 and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice. 1135 00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:34.199 That is where the best high stakes games are. That's 1136 00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:36.880 where the best experts play, and that's where I play 1137 00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:39.840 because I want to be an FFPC champion and put 1138 00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:42.199 that title on me, put the money in my pocket 1139 00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.800 and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the 1140 00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:49.280 FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place to play during 1141 00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:49.760 the season. 1142 00:55:50.760 --> 00:55:53.880 We want to remind you, as Andrew Cooper just did 1143 00:55:53.920 --> 00:55:58.360 from Fantasy Alarm, that the FFPC Weekly Challenged Thursday version 1144 00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:01.119 as well as the Sunday version version is still live 1145 00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:03.400 for about another twenty minutes or so. There's no draft, 1146 00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:06.400 there's no salary cap. You're just picking ten players or 1147 00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:09.320 twelve players if you want to play with kickers and defenses, 1148 00:56:10.119 --> 00:56:12.400 and then you just let them go. The only thing 1149 00:56:12.519 --> 00:56:15.119 is you can't have the same player on the same team. 1150 00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:17.440 If you want Josh Allen, you can't have James Cook. 1151 00:56:17.679 --> 00:56:21.079 If you want Dalton Schultz, you can't have Nico Collins. 1152 00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:23.239 You can win up to twenty five hundred dollars ten 1153 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:27.440 thirty and one hundred team contests available now my ffpc 1154 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:30.519 dot com That is m y ffpc dot com to 1155 00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:34.199 play in the FFPC Weekly Challenge.

I don't know if ive ever made the 1159 00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:44.519 formal announcement, but but three months or so ago, our 1160 00:56:44.519 --> 00:56:47.679 wonderful producer Sean Engels started sending me the audio for 1161 00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:50.039 these shows.

So that is 1169 00:57:07.679 --> 00:57:09.960 available now thanks to Mason Spain and some other people 1170 00:57:09.960 --> 00:57:13.280 who had asked for it as well. Okay, Thursday Night Football, 1171 00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:17.119 Miss Stacey Perez from Player Profiler, Fantasy and Frames and 1172 00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:21.920 Dynasty d Jens. Let's talk about Josh Allen. He had 1173 00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:24.760 a massive week last week at right about the point 1174 00:57:24.800 --> 00:57:27.159 I think people were starting to regret utilizing a high 1175 00:57:27.159 --> 00:57:30.480 pick on him. He throws for three touchdowns, He rushes 1176 00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:33.280 for three touchdowns. When you look at his remaining schedule, 1177 00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:35.119 when you look at what you know, quite frankly, maybe 1178 00:57:35.119 --> 00:57:37.039 schedule doesn't make a difference with Josh Allen because of 1179 00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:38.960 how talented he is. Is he about to go on 1180 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:41.360 a run? Is he about to do something that is 1181 00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:43.920 going to cause us, once again to draft him high 1182 00:57:43.960 --> 00:57:46.199 in twenty twenty six drafts because he's going to help 1183 00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:47.599 us win a lot of cash down the stretch of 1184 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:49.400 the season. How do you look at Josh Allen not 1185 00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:51.880 only tonight against Houston, but for the remainder of the 1186 00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:53.079 twenty twenty five campaign. 1187 00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:55.679 I think you're right, Like, I'm not looking at the 1188 00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:59.519 schedule necessary, I'm looking at what month is it? Because 1189 00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:03.639 in November and in December. Right now, Josh Allen's career 1190 00:58:03.679 --> 00:58:06.639 has got twelve wins, four losses in November, and he 1191 00:58:06.679 --> 00:58:09.320 averages about forty one point four rushing yards per game 1192 00:58:09.400 --> 00:58:12.119 in November as well, And then if you move to December, 1193 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.880 he's got twenty one wins and nine losses there, and 1194 00:58:16.000 --> 00:58:18.320 his performance tends to be a lot stronger in the 1195 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:20.079 in the later months of the year, and you know 1196 00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:23.519 his rushing yards usually bump up from November to December. 1197 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:26.199 So that's what I'm looking at. So historically, that's kind 1198 00:58:26.199 --> 00:58:28.320 of what he's done. I don't see any reason why 1199 00:58:28.360 --> 00:58:31.159 that will change this year. So I am I am 1200 00:58:31.199 --> 00:58:32.920 counting on him to go on a run. In a 1201 00:58:32.960 --> 00:58:35.840 few of my leagues here, I'm hoping that history will 1202 00:58:35.840 --> 00:58:37.039 repeat itself again. For him. 1203 00:58:37.719 --> 00:58:39.960 You know, I looked at the schedule just now and 1204 00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:42.239 again it's Josh Allen. It may not make a difference, 1205 00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:47.480 but this tonight you get the Texans in Houston. You 1206 00:58:47.519 --> 00:58:49.039 have to go on the road next week, but you're 1207 00:58:49.079 --> 00:58:52.599 coming off the Mini by Pittsburgh, which granted has been 1208 00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:54.920 playing better defense I would say over the last month 1209 00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:57.440 or so. You get the Bengals at home. Yum, yum, 1210 00:58:57.480 --> 00:58:59.840 gimme some that's gonna be great. But then you go 1211 00:58:59.840 --> 00:59:04.559 to New England, you go to Cleveland and Philadelphia for 1212 00:59:04.599 --> 00:59:07.159 the Championship Week's sprint. I don't know if that's great, 1213 00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:09.360 but I also can tell you you probably don't have 1214 00:59:09.400 --> 00:59:11.880 a better option, and you're still rolling Chalalen out there. 1215 00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:15.760 James Cook is a player that I was down on 1216 00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:20.039 this year, I think because of the contract situation, and 1217 00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:24.519 I know, like I just go by history, and history 1218 00:59:24.559 --> 00:59:27.119 says these guys who sit out and then try to 1219 00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:30.159 come back and you know, get the full experience of 1220 00:59:30.199 --> 00:59:32.760 training camp in this finite amount of time to try 1221 00:59:32.800 --> 00:59:35.679 to get ready for the regular season oftentimes deal with 1222 00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:38.400 some soft tissue injuries. Well that didn't happen with James Cook. 1223 00:59:38.840 --> 00:59:42.440 He's been unbelievable for the for the majority of the season. Here, 1224 00:59:43.480 --> 00:59:46.960 I will say this, if you look at what Cook 1225 00:59:47.000 --> 00:59:49.920 has been able to do this season, He's just under 1226 00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:52.679 a thousand yards rushing, which is pretty impressive considering we're 1227 00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:55.159 not even the Thanksgiving yet. If you look at his 1228 00:59:55.280 --> 00:59:58.119 game logs, part of the reason was he went back 1229 00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:00.960 to back weeks two hundred and sixty rushing yards and 1230 01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:03.639 then one hundred and fourteen rushing yards, failed to top 1231 01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:07.920 sixty against Miami, failed to top fifty against Tampa. Is 1232 01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:11.519 this going to change tonight against Houston a tough defense? 1233 01:00:11.960 --> 01:00:14.559 And given how far we let him slip in high 1234 01:00:14.599 --> 01:00:17.239 stakes drafts this year, Stacy, do you think that he 1235 01:00:17.840 --> 01:00:21.079 has the potential or what's his level of league winnerhood? 1236 01:00:21.280 --> 01:00:23.719 Like is it likely to happen? Not likely to happen. 1237 01:00:23.840 --> 01:00:25.960 How do you look at James Cook tonight and for 1238 01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:26.800 the rest of the season. 1239 01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:29.840 So I like James Cook quite a bit actually, And 1240 01:00:29.880 --> 01:00:31.440 if you take a look at like where did we 1241 01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:33.440 draft him, Like I think he was going around like 1242 01:00:33.599 --> 01:00:37.239 running back thirteen or so back, you know, during our seasons, 1243 01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:39.960 you know, get you know, gearing up in our drafts 1244 01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:42.920 and everything, and so right now, if you look at okay, here, 1245 01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.960 what is his production He's I'm looking, I'm on Fantasy 1246 01:00:45.960 --> 01:00:49.360 pros right now. He's putting up, let's see, eighteen point 1247 01:00:49.440 --> 01:00:53.119 three points per game in PPR formats. So the only 1248 01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:56.639 players that are out producing him at this point Jonathan Taylor, McCaffrey, 1249 01:00:56.679 --> 01:00:59.960 Ah Chan, Robinson, and Gibbs. So for a player that 1250 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.760 you drafted as running back thirteen and now he is 1251 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:05.719 giving you this kind of production, to me, that that's 1252 01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:08.079 kind of a league winner there because you you passed 1253 01:01:08.079 --> 01:01:10.679 on some of those big names, right, you know, like 1254 01:01:10.719 --> 01:01:13.440 a Derrick Henry or a Bucky Irving or something like that. 1255 01:01:13.480 --> 01:01:16.000 Guys that we're going ahead of him for sure, and 1256 01:01:16.079 --> 01:01:18.840 he has just completely outproduced them. So I like what 1257 01:01:18.920 --> 01:01:20.880 James Cook is doing. I think a lot of people too, 1258 01:01:20.920 --> 01:01:22.239 were down on him, are like, he's not going to 1259 01:01:22.320 --> 01:01:24.920 have the same kind of you know, touchdown, you know 1260 01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:27.440 production that he had last year. That's going to regress. 1261 01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:31.119 You know, he's still he's still putting up great numbers. 1262 01:01:31.199 --> 01:01:34.840 And you know, Josh Allen can't run it in every time, right, 1263 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:37.519 That's kind of what happened against the Bucks, right, Josh 1264 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:39.840 Allen just completely took over. I don't think Cook was 1265 01:01:39.880 --> 01:01:43.840 necessarily needed in that game. So you know, I am, 1266 01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.559 I am on board with James Cook being a league winner. 1267 01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:49.760 I could absolutely see him. You know, there's a lot 1268 01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:51.519 of teams out there. I'm sure probably that are going 1269 01:01:51.599 --> 01:01:53.360 to walk away with some money because of James Cook. 1270 01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:57.760 You know, he and you just pointed this out, Stacy. 1271 01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:01.360 Joe King pointed this out on you. There was TD 1272 01:02:01.519 --> 01:02:05.920 regression we thought coming for James Cook. Not saying that 1273 01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:09.039 that's still not the case. But he scored sixteen rushing 1274 01:02:09.079 --> 01:02:14.199 touchdowns last year. Through ten games this season, he's got seven. 1275 01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:17.039 So it's it's it's not like he's he hasn't been 1276 01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:18.719 getting into the end zone. I think that puts him 1277 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:21.599 on pace for about twelve touchdowns this year, which I mean, 1278 01:02:21.639 --> 01:02:25.199 I'll take that for a touchdowns sixteen given the fact, 1279 01:02:25.280 --> 01:02:27.960 and bear this in mind too. You know, all of 1280 01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:31.840 twenty twenty four, dude had one thousand nine yards rushing. 1281 01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:33.800 He only played in sixteen games. For what it's worth, 1282 01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:37.679 he's already at nine to sixty eight, so he is, 1283 01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:41.400 you know whatever, that is forty one yards rushing behind 1284 01:02:41.719 --> 01:02:45.119 his full total from last year. Touchdown regression could happen 1285 01:02:45.159 --> 01:02:48.039 for James Cook and he could still be a better 1286 01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:50.599 player and put up better numbers in twenty twenty five 1287 01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:55.599 than he did in twenty twenty four. Mister bakes a lot, Stacy. 1288 01:02:55.920 --> 01:02:58.679 This is I'm throwing it to you because and if 1289 01:02:58.679 --> 01:03:02.039 you don't have anything for it makes a lot gotten. 1290 01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:05.360 I d P question, who do you guys feel will 1291 01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:09.039 have more tackles Matt Mulano versus the Texans or Geno 1292 01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:13.920 Stone versus the Patriots. I have no blanking idea. I 1293 01:03:13.960 --> 01:03:16.880 don't play I d P. I did one time in 1294 01:03:16.960 --> 01:03:19.039 the late nineties and I'm like, this is not for me, 1295 01:03:19.480 --> 01:03:21.519 and I gave it up. I know there are great 1296 01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:24.280 websites out there that you can check, Stacey. Could you 1297 01:03:24.320 --> 01:03:27.039 recommend anybody that that might be able to answer this 1298 01:03:27.159 --> 01:03:28.719 question on X so? 1299 01:03:29.639 --> 01:03:34.000 Yeah, actually I can. I can recommend so at Fantasy 1300 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:35.599 and Frames, one of the things that we do a 1301 01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:39.400 lot over there. Not me, but Horror Edwards is really 1302 01:03:39.400 --> 01:03:42.000 big into IDP, and so he would be one that 1303 01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:45.519 I would go check with and see what he thinks 1304 01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:47.800 on that. I will tell you my particular strategy when 1305 01:03:47.840 --> 01:03:49.320 it comes to IDP. I don't play a lot of it. 1306 01:03:49.320 --> 01:03:51.840 I have one I DP league as our Fantasy and 1307 01:03:51.880 --> 01:03:56.039 Frames group league. I go with with guys whose names 1308 01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.760 I know, and Balky I'm a little embarrassed. I don't 1309 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:01.639 know who Genostone is, so I gotta go with Matt Milano. 1310 01:04:02.320 --> 01:04:03.679 It sounds like a porn actor. 1311 01:04:04.199 --> 01:04:05.599 He does it, really does. 1312 01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:07.559 I do know Matt Milano, and I know he's been 1313 01:04:07.599 --> 01:04:11.400 a really talented player for Buffalo for years. You can 1314 01:04:11.679 --> 01:04:14.000 go to Fantasy and Frames dot Com at Fantasy and 1315 01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:18.079 Frames and of course at Jorge B. Edwards on X 1316 01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:21.360 and ask him right now and he will help you out. 1317 01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.880 Mister bikes a lot more so than Stacy and I can. 1318 01:04:24.760 --> 01:04:29.599 All right, let's go to Let's go back to oh 1319 01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:33.679 Khalil Shakir. Let's talk about him. He didn't get any 1320 01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:36.480 practices in this week because his wife and him had 1321 01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:41.320 a kid. And I'll say this to John Hanson and 1322 01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:44.880 Brett Whitefield from Fantasy Points we're talking about this. They 1323 01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:48.159 believe he's playing hurt. They believe this ankle injury which 1324 01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:51.719 I think he had early before the season started, which 1325 01:04:51.800 --> 01:04:54.960 was a re injury of the same ankle problem that 1326 01:04:55.000 --> 01:04:57.880 he had twenty twenty four they think it's limiting to him. 1327 01:04:57.920 --> 01:05:00.840 He's got no burst, he's got no separation. His pet's 1328 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:04.199 heads are falling off. It's all bad things going on 1329 01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:08.960 right now for Khalil Shakir. That said, Dalton Kinkaid's out tonight, 1330 01:05:09.320 --> 01:05:12.079 which means if there is a you know, a got 1331 01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:14.079 to have a guy on third down, a go to 1332 01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:16.840 guy for Buffalo tonight in the passing game, it's got 1333 01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:19.400 to be Shakir. And even with this stuff working against 1334 01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:21.679 him no practice this week dealing with the ankle injury. 1335 01:05:23.280 --> 01:05:25.519 Matthew Berry always says, as trust is a strong word, 1336 01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:28.960 but whatever is the closest, the next closest thing down 1337 01:05:29.039 --> 01:05:31.639 from trust, That's what I'm doing with Shakir. I only 1338 01:05:31.639 --> 01:05:33.159 have in a couple of leagues. I'm playing them in 1339 01:05:33.199 --> 01:05:36.320 both of them tonight. I feel okay about it, but 1340 01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:38.719 not great about it. Here, What do you think what 1341 01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.960 we're looking at with Shakir tonight with the red flags 1342 01:05:41.960 --> 01:05:44.719 I mentioned, and also knowing that Houston's got a pretty good. 1343 01:05:44.559 --> 01:05:47.480 Defense, they do have a great defense. So even if 1344 01:05:47.480 --> 01:05:50.119 he was healthy and I don't know his situation, you know, 1345 01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:51.960 with the injuries and stuff like that, but let's say 1346 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:55.039 that he is playing her even healthy. You're downgrading anybody 1347 01:05:55.039 --> 01:05:58.360 going up against that Houston secondary. Whether they're Jamar chase Er, Khalleier, Shaker, 1348 01:05:58.400 --> 01:06:00.360 doesn't matter. You're still going to downgrade them. Beloe little bit. 1349 01:06:01.159 --> 01:06:03.280 So you know you've got that to kind of worry about. 1350 01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:08.360 I if it's not Shakier, I don't know who it is, 1351 01:06:08.400 --> 01:06:10.480 because we're certainly not going to go pick up Josh Palmer. 1352 01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:12.800 And beyond that, you know, there's not too many other 1353 01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:15.920 options there in their you know, in their passing games. 1354 01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:20.400 So you know, Shakira, he's I think, I think you 1355 01:06:20.480 --> 01:06:22.800 have to trust him here. You know, he's a veteran. 1356 01:06:22.840 --> 01:06:24.719 You know he'll be out there. You know, he knows 1357 01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:26.960 he's a professional football player. He knows how to get 1358 01:06:27.000 --> 01:06:28.639 open play the game. So you know it's going to 1359 01:06:28.679 --> 01:06:31.559 be a tough fight for him for sure. But you know, 1360 01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:34.280 I still think you're you're probably in a situation where 1361 01:06:34.320 --> 01:06:36.440 you probably do have to start him, but you know, 1362 01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:38.519 lower lower those expectations a little bit. 1363 01:06:39.480 --> 01:06:43.199 You know, I'm lowering my dynasty expectations for key On Coleman. 1364 01:06:44.320 --> 01:06:48.840 Adam Schefter reported last week that Coleman missed a I 1365 01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:51.559 should say reported this Sunday morning, but he missed the 1366 01:06:51.559 --> 01:06:55.079 team meeting on Friday, and uh, the Bills made him 1367 01:06:55.119 --> 01:06:58.320 a healthy and active against the Buccaneers this past week. 1368 01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:02.280 They apparently wanted to in his normal role, but then 1369 01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:06.079 they decided not to based on, you know, missing the 1370 01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:09.360 team meeting. Now we I thought this is a one 1371 01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:12.800 week thing, and then ESPN reported about an hour ago 1372 01:07:13.119 --> 01:07:18.239 that Coleman was expected to be inactive again against the Texans. 1373 01:07:18.719 --> 01:07:21.280 This is the third time that Coleman has missed a 1374 01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:25.599 game in two years due to disciplinary issues. He was 1375 01:07:25.639 --> 01:07:29.039 also held out against the Jaguars in twenty twenty four, 1376 01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:31.480 just for the first quarter, and then the first offensive 1377 01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:35.719 series this year against the Patriots in five. And what 1378 01:07:35.960 --> 01:07:39.519 stinks is we just brought this up. This is a 1379 01:07:39.559 --> 01:07:44.360 golden opportunity for him to shine. With hobbled Shakira out there, 1380 01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:45.559 nobody else we can trust. 1381 01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:50.000 I think oh gave Davis balky. They alblemated Gabe Davis 1382 01:07:50.000 --> 01:07:50.920 from the practice squad. 1383 01:07:51.280 --> 01:07:55.239 And we also have something called Tyrrell Shavers, yes as well. 1384 01:07:55.679 --> 01:08:00.800 So I think that Coleman, like I wouldn't even trade 1385 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:04.079 for him a dynasty. It just makes no sense at 1386 01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:08.599 this point. He's looking like a massive bust. Tonight, we 1387 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:13.280 mentioned our misgivings about fully trusting Khalil Shakir in our lineups, 1388 01:08:13.679 --> 01:08:17.239 and when you consider Tyrrell Shavers gave Davis, Nicole Hardman, 1389 01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:21.840 you mentioned Palmer, Curtis Samuel obviously out as well. I 1390 01:08:21.920 --> 01:08:25.000 can't I can't find Yeah, I cannot find a good 1391 01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:28.000 Uh you know, I guess the only player I would 1392 01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:31.640 consider if I'm desperate and I'm missing wide receivers and 1393 01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:34.800 running backs this week in a flex is Shavers based 1394 01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:37.039 on the connection that him and Allen had last week. 1395 01:08:37.079 --> 01:08:38.720 But I don't even trust that. I mean, it's just 1396 01:08:39.119 --> 01:08:41.680 this is this is wild. And we've you know, as 1397 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:43.479 Packers fans, we hear this all the time. We heard 1398 01:08:43.479 --> 01:08:45.479 it all the time with Aaron Rodgers. Why can't Green 1399 01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:47.680 Bay get them weapons? But and now we're hearing in Buffalo, 1400 01:08:47.720 --> 01:08:51.520 why can't Joe Shane, Uh not Joe Shane. Who's this? 1401 01:08:51.680 --> 01:08:56.720 What's but Brandon Bean? Thank you Brandon Bean getting and 1402 01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:59.239 to the point where he went off on our Good 1403 01:08:59.239 --> 01:09:04.079 Buddy Mike Show radio station WGR fifty earlier this season, 1404 01:09:04.079 --> 01:09:06.520 like we're putting up all these points or whatever. And 1405 01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:08.439 I guess they tried to trade for Jalen Waddle, it 1406 01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:11.560 didn't happen. This is this is this is bad news 1407 01:09:11.560 --> 01:09:14.359 for Buffalo tonight against a pretty good Texans defense. To 1408 01:09:14.399 --> 01:09:16.760 bring it back to my original question, is a Khalil 1409 01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:18.760 Shakir Boston? And if you were to trust one of 1410 01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:21.000 these other receivers and start them tonight, who would it be? 1411 01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:24.920 Stacy So I, you know, Balgy, we have a lot 1412 01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:26.520 of good friends of ours that are in upstate New 1413 01:09:26.600 --> 01:09:29.039 York that play with us, you know, who are pretty 1414 01:09:29.079 --> 01:09:32.239 dealed into their bills. And I got to talk with 1415 01:09:32.319 --> 01:09:35.319 Louie g last week and he was like, you know what, 1416 01:09:35.520 --> 01:09:37.279 this is not going to be the only week. This 1417 01:09:37.359 --> 01:09:38.520 is not going to be the only week that he's 1418 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:40.319 a scratch. He goes, I even bet you that he 1419 01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:41.720 might not even play for the Bills the rest of 1420 01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:44.319 the season, and they were just like they're done with 1421 01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:47.520 his act. It's just, you know, at this point, what 1422 01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:49.800 are you doing? Like this is your job? Like you're 1423 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:52.119 you know, like you're playing full time for eighteen weeks, 1424 01:09:52.159 --> 01:09:55.239 Like how are you missing meetings? Like you're not just late, 1425 01:09:55.279 --> 01:09:58.720 you're missing meetings. That's insane to me. And then I 1426 01:09:58.760 --> 01:10:02.479 also saw I'm so embarrassing in Sarah Sas on TikTok 1427 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:07.079 Today with Shannon Sharp and o Jo Sinko, and they 1428 01:10:07.119 --> 01:10:09.239 were talking about this and they were just saying, you know, 1429 01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:12.039 like Ojo Sinka was going off, They're like, look like 1430 01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:15.760 this guy, there are certain players like Ceede Lamb, George Pickens. Right, 1431 01:10:15.800 --> 01:10:17.560 they're gonna get held out for the first for the 1432 01:10:17.600 --> 01:10:20.399 first drive when they mess up, right, because they're talented. 1433 01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:21.960 And you know, they were like, hey on Coleman, you 1434 01:10:22.000 --> 01:10:25.319 ain't talented enough to be doing this kind of you know, shenanigans. 1435 01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:28.880 And they then they showed a clip of him following 1436 01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:31.640 you know him, everybody's out on the field, he's in 1437 01:10:31.680 --> 01:10:34.720 street clothes, he's dancing on the sidelines, yucking it up. 1438 01:10:34.960 --> 01:10:38.079 This is clearly not somebody who understands the severity of 1439 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:42.000 what's going on here. So he's not taking it seriously 1440 01:10:42.199 --> 01:10:44.159 to me. And then so that just kind of reinforced 1441 01:10:44.199 --> 01:10:45.800 what Louis said is he may not play for them 1442 01:10:45.800 --> 01:10:47.560 the rest of the season. And I wouldn't be surprised 1443 01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:49.600 if that if that happens now that it's two weeks 1444 01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:53.239 in a row. So back to your question, who are 1445 01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:57.359 we trusting, right. I like Shavers And I did also 1446 01:10:57.600 --> 01:10:59.399 kind of do the Snoop Dogg meme where it was 1447 01:10:59.399 --> 01:11:02.800 like who after that touchdown last week? But you know, 1448 01:11:02.800 --> 01:11:05.159 I went back and I looked at his usage all season, 1449 01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:10.439 despite being a complete unknown to pretty much everybody, right, like, 1450 01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:12.800 he's actually been really involved in their offense. His snap 1451 01:11:12.840 --> 01:11:16.920 percentage is that a really decent amount. So I'm going 1452 01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:18.560 to go Shavers here. It feels like he's been on 1453 01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:20.560 the field. It seems like he's dialed into that offense. 1454 01:11:20.800 --> 01:11:22.439 You know, maybe he's going to take advantage of the 1455 01:11:22.439 --> 01:11:25.880 opportunity he's now being given because of Coleman not being 1456 01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:27.880 in the line up there. And then also, god knows, 1457 01:11:27.960 --> 01:11:30.359 Gabe Davis come on, like you know, at some point, 1458 01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:33.279 you know they're gonna they're gonna end up give it 1459 01:11:33.319 --> 01:11:35.760 get He's gonna get a long pass down the field, 1460 01:11:35.920 --> 01:11:38.439 you know, go like eighty yards in a touchdown or 1461 01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:41.239 something crazy, and and then the next we do nothing. 1462 01:11:41.640 --> 01:11:43.680 But uh, but yeah, I think Shavers would probably be 1463 01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:45.439 the one that I think kind of steps into this role. 1464 01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:47.960 Two bold predictions that I don't I don't think are 1465 01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:51.319 very bold. Gabe Davis will end the season with multiple 1466 01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:53.640 three FO one hundred and thirty and two touchdown games 1467 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:55.560 and the other bold one. You know what's gonna happen 1468 01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:59.319 with key On Coleman. Are our good friends in Dallas 1469 01:11:59.760 --> 01:12:03.439 with Jerry with that, Jerry Judy Jerry Jones are going 1470 01:12:03.479 --> 01:12:05.880 to let George Dickens. They're not going to franchise him, 1471 01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:08.920 which Jerry Jones will give us a big word salad 1472 01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:11.960 of why you don't proper to franchise George Pickens. Let 1473 01:12:12.039 --> 01:12:14.479 him go to free agency. He will sign a massive contract. 1474 01:12:14.520 --> 01:12:16.399 One of my buddies is saying it's gonna be with Tampa. 1475 01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:20.199 I don't know if that, oh George Picks Yeah, okay Pickens. 1476 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:23.520 I'm saying Dallas lets him go and then to replace him, 1477 01:12:23.920 --> 01:12:26.800 Jerry Jones trades a sixth round pick to Buffalo after 1478 01:12:26.840 --> 01:12:29.279 the season is over for one key On Coleman, and 1479 01:12:29.279 --> 01:12:32.119 that'll be Colman next to CD Lamb, which I mean 1480 01:12:32.359 --> 01:12:34.840 you think Lamb and Pickens get into trouble in Vegas? 1481 01:12:34.920 --> 01:12:39.399 What do you see Coleman? Right? All right, So so 1482 01:12:39.680 --> 01:12:42.199 Dawson Knox, we have to talk about here tonight for 1483 01:12:42.359 --> 01:12:45.399 f f PC Tight End Premium League. Stacy no Dalton Kincaid. 1484 01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:49.600 Do you believe that that Knox is a decent play here? 1485 01:12:49.880 --> 01:12:53.079 And then I'll bring this up as well, because I 1486 01:12:53.079 --> 01:12:56.760 think he caught a touchdown last week. This uh, this 1487 01:12:56.760 --> 01:12:59.800 this tight end for Buffalo and I'm the name is 1488 01:12:59.800 --> 01:13:00.279 this gaping? 1489 01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:02.079 I'm trying to Exson Hawes. 1490 01:13:02.039 --> 01:13:04.119 Jackson Hawes, thank you. I want to call it Spencer 1491 01:13:04.159 --> 01:13:08.359 Hawes after the old Sacramento Kings in the NBA. Exon 1492 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:11.960 Hawes catches the touchdown here, which maybe gums it up 1493 01:13:11.960 --> 01:13:14.399 for Dawson Knox, but for people who are looking to 1494 01:13:14.520 --> 01:13:17.720 start a tight end as their second flex in FFPC leagues, 1495 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:19.720 what do you think about Dawson Knox. 1496 01:13:20.359 --> 01:13:23.760 So, you know, until the emergence of Jackson Hawes, like, 1497 01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:27.840 I was definitely team Dawson Knox whenever key On Coleman, 1498 01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:29.199 Oh my gosh, I'm gonna think of his name here. 1499 01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:32.920 Whenever Dalton Kincaid is not on the field, right he 1500 01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:35.039 you know, for the last few years has been a 1501 01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:37.560 huge red zone target for Allen. So I was kind 1502 01:13:37.560 --> 01:13:39.640 of like one of those let's throw at any time 1503 01:13:39.760 --> 01:13:44.079 touchdown for Dawson Knox whenever Kinkaid misses a game. Now 1504 01:13:44.119 --> 01:13:46.079 with Hawes there, it does kind of mess it up 1505 01:13:46.119 --> 01:13:47.800 a little bit. So you kind of look at the 1506 01:13:47.840 --> 01:13:50.479 last two, you know games here. You know that Kincaid's 1507 01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:52.800 missed against Miami and Tampa, and he hasn't really done 1508 01:13:52.880 --> 01:13:54.520 much even though he's been on the field a ton, 1509 01:13:55.520 --> 01:14:00.920 So I don't necessarily love it. I think without Hawes there, 1510 01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:03.640 I think he's an automatic start, especially in tight end 1511 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:08.239 premium without Kinkaid, But I don't know that I can. 1512 01:14:08.439 --> 01:14:10.159 I don't know that I can kind of support that 1513 01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:12.119 with Hawes in the mix right now. 1514 01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:14.880 You know the fact that he was involved last week 1515 01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:17.039 and the fact that this is a tougher defense tonight. 1516 01:14:17.079 --> 01:14:19.520 I think like that those are two things that have 1517 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:22.399 me breaking ties against Austin Knox Knight, so I'm staying 1518 01:14:22.399 --> 01:14:26.319 away from him. Tom Smith has an andre Yoshibash question. 1519 01:14:26.479 --> 01:14:28.880 We're going to get to that driver ten thirty six 1520 01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:30.920 on Twitch. I will get to the Jayden Reid discussion 1521 01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:32.239 here in a little bit as well, because I think 1522 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:34.640 it's important to bring up. Before we get to that, 1523 01:14:34.680 --> 01:14:37.640 I want to talk about the Texans briefly. What he 1524 01:14:37.720 --> 01:14:43.880 marks must start though, did that descriptor fit Marx tonight 1525 01:14:43.960 --> 01:14:46.279 against the Bills in a game where he should be 1526 01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:49.560 out there catching passes from Davis Mills, in a game 1527 01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:52.079 that you know Houston should be playing from behind most 1528 01:14:52.079 --> 01:14:54.479 of the game. I wonder how close he is to 1529 01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:56.199 must start this week, Stacey. 1530 01:14:56.920 --> 01:14:58.720 For me, he's a must start for sure. I mean, 1531 01:14:58.840 --> 01:15:00.680 you know, it's a great matchup there against the Bills, 1532 01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:04.640 and I think they're giving up about the second most, yeah, 1533 01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:07.760 second most fantasy points per game to opposing team's running backs. 1534 01:15:07.800 --> 01:15:11.560 I remember what Devin Han did to them, So you know, 1535 01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:13.720 it's not like there's really anybody else back there. You know, 1536 01:15:13.800 --> 01:15:15.199 they came out and said Mixon isn't going to be 1537 01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:17.479 playing for the rest of the season. That's not really 1538 01:15:17.479 --> 01:15:20.680 a big surprise. And Nick Chubb's just a shell of himself. 1539 01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:23.640 So and then they released Amian Pierce today. I saw 1540 01:15:23.680 --> 01:15:27.560 that news earlier this afternoon, and so you know, it's 1541 01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:30.520 Woody marks his game. You know, it's his backfield right now. 1542 01:15:30.560 --> 01:15:32.960 And so you know, volume alone I think makes him 1543 01:15:32.960 --> 01:15:35.199 a must start tonight, especially with that great matchup against 1544 01:15:35.199 --> 01:15:35.840 the Bills. 1545 01:15:36.479 --> 01:15:40.199 Are we seeing one rookie receiver aut Iowa State starting 1546 01:15:40.199 --> 01:15:43.239 to turn it on for Houston? That's Jayden Higgins two 1547 01:15:43.319 --> 01:15:45.960 for thirty two, one for twenty eight, one for five, 1548 01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:48.920 one for twenty four, four for thirty two, all bagel, 1549 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:51.760 four for thirty four and then one for four. That 1550 01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:54.880 was his first nine weeks as a pro in the NFL. 1551 01:15:55.319 --> 01:15:58.479 Last two weeks against Jacksonville, five catches forty two yards 1552 01:15:58.479 --> 01:16:01.039 on the touchdown. This past week four catches for fifty 1553 01:16:01.039 --> 01:16:04.159 five yards and a touchdown. He has seen seven or 1554 01:16:04.159 --> 01:16:07.399 more targets three times this season, two of those times 1555 01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:09.720 coming within the last two weeks. What do you envision 1556 01:16:09.760 --> 01:16:12.880 for Higgins tonight with Davis Mills throwing to him against 1557 01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:15.039 the Buffalo defense that you usually beat on the ground 1558 01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:17.920 rather through the air. And then your viewpoint on Higgins 1559 01:16:17.960 --> 01:16:20.560 whether he's going to be a fantasy viable guy down 1560 01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:21.000 the stretch. 1561 01:16:21.600 --> 01:16:23.960 Yeah, I like him. Rest of season is a flex option. 1562 01:16:24.119 --> 01:16:25.720 I mean you kind of have to remember too, Like, right, 1563 01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:28.319 these rookie wide receivers, you know, when they come in, 1564 01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:29.880 it takes them a little while to get acclimated to 1565 01:16:29.920 --> 01:16:32.079 the league. So right off the bat, you know, I 1566 01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:34.079 mean a Mecha Abuka down here in Tampa is a 1567 01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:37.039 little bit of a different story, right, But most of 1568 01:16:37.079 --> 01:16:39.439 these guys are going to take a few games, you know, 1569 01:16:39.520 --> 01:16:41.680 first half of the season here to really kind of 1570 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:44.560 gel with their offense and their quarterback kind of earn them. 1571 01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:46.439 They're way more you know, onto the field. And that's 1572 01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:48.279 really what Higgins has done. And if you take a 1573 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:51.039 look at the last two games, his target share has 1574 01:16:51.079 --> 01:16:52.920 gone up too, well, not two games, sorry, a three 1575 01:16:52.960 --> 01:16:56.359 games target share is increased by two points. Snap percentage 1576 01:16:57.000 --> 01:16:59.319 every week for the last three weeks has just consistently 1577 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:03.800 gone up. In the meantime, you've also see seen Christian 1578 01:17:03.880 --> 01:17:07.239 Kirk's numbers start sliding down, and so that to me 1579 01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:09.359 kind of signals, all right, you know, we've got Higgins. 1580 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.880 He's he's kind of taking that next step forward here 1581 01:17:12.079 --> 01:17:14.119 where he's going to start taking, you know, eating into 1582 01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:17.319 that role, that wide receiver two role that you know 1583 01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:20.359 Kirk has kind of you know, kind of held on 1584 01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:22.399 to a little bit throughout through the season. But I 1585 01:17:22.399 --> 01:17:25.520 think he's more cementing himself as that consistent option there 1586 01:17:25.640 --> 01:17:27.800 for Mills or Stroud or whoever is going to be 1587 01:17:28.399 --> 01:17:29.000 under center. 1588 01:17:29.920 --> 01:17:32.359 I think we have to bring up Dalton Schultz here 1589 01:17:32.560 --> 01:17:34.960 as they are getting kicked out, they're kicking off here 1590 01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:38.960 in Houston right now, Dalton Schultz. Looking at his stats 1591 01:17:39.000 --> 01:17:41.880 this year, it's pretty crazy to see what he's been 1592 01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:45.000 able to do three twenty eight, three for twenty nine 1593 01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:47.159 in his first two weeks. And then you look at 1594 01:17:47.199 --> 01:17:49.720 this again, tight end premium scoring five for thirty nine, 1595 01:17:49.800 --> 01:17:52.439 five for thirty five for sixty nine for ninety eight, 1596 01:17:52.439 --> 01:17:55.159 two for twenty four, six for seventy seven, seven for 1597 01:17:55.239 --> 01:17:58.680 fifty three, six for fifty one. I think that and 1598 01:17:58.880 --> 01:18:01.279 Farrell was kind of in my year as he has 1599 01:18:01.319 --> 01:18:05.159 been the last couple of years against Dalton Schultz. Because 1600 01:18:05.319 --> 01:18:07.199 I should have Dalton Schultz. I could have picked him 1601 01:18:07.239 --> 01:18:10.279 up easily literally number two tight end in just in 1602 01:18:10.279 --> 01:18:12.479 any league this year, Stacy, and he would have been 1603 01:18:12.520 --> 01:18:15.800 playable as my starter in several weeks this year. I 1604 01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:18.520 envision this is going to continue, not only against Buffalo tonight, 1605 01:18:18.800 --> 01:18:21.840 but against Indy, against Kansas City, Arizona, Las Vegas. Some 1606 01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:23.720 good matchups here coming up for Dalton Schultz. 1607 01:18:24.119 --> 01:18:28.079 Let me redeem our family reputation here with Dalton Schultz. Okay, 1608 01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:31.800 because I've been a big Dalton Schultz fan. Definitely, he's 1609 01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:37.199 top fifteen in the tight end position, averaging that throughout 1610 01:18:37.239 --> 01:18:39.800 the season. Over the last three games, and this is 1611 01:18:39.840 --> 01:18:41.880 just in PPR, I don't have the tight end premium points. 1612 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:44.439 He's averaging like fourteen point three points per game. His 1613 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:48.000 target share on the season was eighteen point eight over 1614 01:18:48.039 --> 01:18:50.239 the last three games. Specifically, it just jumped up to 1615 01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:53.359 twenty two point two percent, second highest on the team 1616 01:18:53.399 --> 01:18:56.920 behind Nico Collins. I know I mentioned about Higgins kind 1617 01:18:56.920 --> 01:18:58.960 of trying to get into that second wide receiver role. 1618 01:18:59.119 --> 01:19:01.319 He might be the second wide receiver, but Daldon Schultz 1619 01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:05.680 is the second option behind Nico Collins one and I 1620 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:08.000 just looked over at the screen. I had to like, 1621 01:19:08.319 --> 01:19:10.960 you know, I needed like some sunglasses for a second 1622 01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:15.239 over those bright red uniforms the Texans are wearing right now. 1623 01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:19.239 But yeah, big big Schultz fan, you know a guy 1624 01:19:19.279 --> 01:19:21.920 that you could have snatched off waivers who is consistently 1625 01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:24.720 putting up good point I mean tight end position. It 1626 01:19:24.800 --> 01:19:26.119 is what it is, right, You're going to have those 1627 01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:28.399 top few guys that really produce and the rest of 1628 01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:31.520 them are going to be kind of mid. But Schultz 1629 01:19:31.560 --> 01:19:33.880 has been somebody who is broken out of that despite 1630 01:19:33.920 --> 01:19:37.359 being on an iffy offense with the Texans. So He's 1631 01:19:37.399 --> 01:19:39.760 somebody that I'm not gonna call him a league winner, 1632 01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:42.000 but somebody that if you grabbed him on waivers, you're 1633 01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:44.920 definitely you won that, you know, like you whatever you 1634 01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:45.800 paid for him was worth. 1635 01:19:45.840 --> 01:19:48.239 It's what's great about this too, is he's doing it 1636 01:19:48.279 --> 01:19:51.000 with a healthy Nico Collins and with Jade Higgins coming on, 1637 01:19:51.119 --> 01:19:53.319 and he's still doing numbers right that that's another reason 1638 01:19:53.319 --> 01:19:56.119 to like him. They are underway in Houston. It is 1639 01:19:56.199 --> 01:20:00.720 the Bills kicking off to the Texans incomplete past Cad Stover, 1640 01:20:00.920 --> 01:20:03.640 a Woody marks Kerry for six yards, and then on 1641 01:20:03.760 --> 01:20:06.399 third down, a pass deep down the right sideline to 1642 01:20:06.479 --> 01:20:10.039 Jayden and Higgins falls incomplete. They have punted, have the 1643 01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:13.720 Texans and the Bills take over after a holding penalty 1644 01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:15.800 on the punt. They take over at their own twenty nine, 1645 01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:18.319 and the Bills immediately give it to James Cook for 1646 01:20:18.319 --> 01:20:20.479 four yards second and six from their own twenty three, 1647 01:20:20.640 --> 01:20:23.039 thirteen to fifty five to go in the first quarter. 1648 01:20:23.159 --> 01:20:26.000 We will continue our coverage on that as we complete 1649 01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:29.359 our Thursday night preview on this. Okay, I have to 1650 01:20:29.399 --> 01:20:33.520 get into some of the questions that popped up during this. 1651 01:20:34.439 --> 01:20:41.239 Tom Smith wants to know Andre Yoshivash Yoshabash. I don't 1652 01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:42.199 know how to pronounce Yoshi. 1653 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:44.359 Team calls him Yoshi. 1654 01:20:45.800 --> 01:20:49.600 The team calls him Yoshi. He has a super long tongue, 1655 01:20:49.600 --> 01:20:53.600 that he captures the fruit off the trees, and that 1656 01:20:53.680 --> 01:20:56.279 maybe a dated reference. You know what's funny. The old 1657 01:20:56.279 --> 01:20:59.159 people and the young people might not have gotten that reference. Stacy, 1658 01:20:59.479 --> 01:20:59.960 I don't know. 1659 01:21:02.319 --> 01:21:03.159 Is a family show? 1660 01:21:03.479 --> 01:21:10.239 Well, no, no, because but Yoshi is could be the 1661 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:13.159 number two receiver, could be the number gass catcher for 1662 01:21:13.199 --> 01:21:16.479 the Bengals this week in a game of featuring Joe Burrow. 1663 01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:19.760 So I would say, even if it's Joe Flacco, I 1664 01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:22.399 think he is flexworthy. I would give him some flex 1665 01:21:22.399 --> 01:21:26.079 appeal on this. And if it's Burrow tossing the rock 1666 01:21:26.159 --> 01:21:29.079 around against New England this week, I think you're talking 1667 01:21:29.079 --> 01:21:32.279 about a borderline top thirty wide receiver. That's how I feel. 1668 01:21:32.319 --> 01:21:33.439 I don't know how you feel about it. 1669 01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:35.520 Oh, yeah, you are not going to find a bigger 1670 01:21:35.520 --> 01:21:40.000 fan of Yoshi than me. You know a pentathlete out 1671 01:21:40.039 --> 01:21:40.720 of Princeton. 1672 01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:43.479 I believe it was a pentathlete. 1673 01:21:43.479 --> 01:21:48.000 Wow athlete? Yeah? Absolutely, I think Yoshi's Yo. She's great 1674 01:21:48.039 --> 01:21:51.039 he has been. He's flashed when he's had to fill 1675 01:21:51.079 --> 01:21:54.279 in for either Higgins or Chase or whoever has been out. Right, 1676 01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:55.840 if those guys are on the field, right, he's not 1677 01:21:55.880 --> 01:21:58.159 really relevant, right, But when they're out, when somebody's missing, 1678 01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:01.399 he has more than more more than adequately stepped into 1679 01:22:01.399 --> 01:22:04.560 that role, you know. And so I think, let's see, 1680 01:22:04.760 --> 01:22:07.359 I'm looking at his target share, you know, normally around like, 1681 01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:10.319 let's see, what was it. It's not not great. It's 1682 01:22:10.359 --> 01:22:12.640 like nine you zero point four percent something like that. 1683 01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:14.600 The last couple of games it's ticked up a little bit. 1684 01:22:15.439 --> 01:22:17.840 I don't have an issue with either Flacca or Burrow 1685 01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:22.479 being back there. You're missing Chase, you know, their biggest target. Right, 1686 01:22:22.520 --> 01:22:24.520 there's gonna be a huge vacuum there. And I think 1687 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:27.439 Yoshi sets up with a great matchup here. You know, 1688 01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:29.800 the New England secondary is going to be focused on 1689 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:32.199 Higgins and shutting him down. So I think that just 1690 01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:35.840 opens things up a lot for Yeshivas and I am 1691 01:22:35.920 --> 01:22:37.640 all I picked him up in a couple places. I 1692 01:22:37.640 --> 01:22:39.119 think you could definitely start him this week. 1693 01:22:39.359 --> 01:22:42.520 Yeah, I'm I'm down a few wide receivers in some 1694 01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:44.920 leagues this week I picked I picked him up as well, 1695 01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:46.640 I planed. You know, it's one of those things I 1696 01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:48.800 think I overpaid for him, given that I think it 1697 01:22:48.880 --> 01:22:53.479 might only be a one week thing, because yeah, so 1698 01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:57.520 I get it, but you know I think double digit points. Yeah, 1699 01:22:57.600 --> 01:23:00.239 well within the realm of poster sure, maybe even more 1700 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:04.159 than that. Okay, So then we have driver ten thirty 1701 01:23:04.199 --> 01:23:07.640 six chiming in on Twitch. Hey, you all are Packers fans, 1702 01:23:07.720 --> 01:23:11.119 what's the deal with Jayden Reid? Now the latest I 1703 01:23:11.199 --> 01:23:13.560 have on this. I was talking with Justice Mesquada from 1704 01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:16.239 ACME Packing Company on one of my shows this morning, 1705 01:23:16.600 --> 01:23:19.479 and he made it sound like the Packers do not 1706 01:23:19.640 --> 01:23:22.760 want to start Marshaun Lloyd or Jaden Reid. And we'll 1707 01:23:22.800 --> 01:23:24.520 get into Lloyd here in a little bit, but they 1708 01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:26.960 don't want to start them like opening their practice window 1709 01:23:27.000 --> 01:23:28.600 in the middle of the week. And they have not 1710 01:23:28.920 --> 01:23:31.399 opened up the practice window for either guy yet. So 1711 01:23:31.560 --> 01:23:34.840 my guess is that gets opened after the Vikings game 1712 01:23:34.920 --> 01:23:38.359 next week, you know, obviously leading into that into that 1713 01:23:38.479 --> 01:23:43.039 Lions Thanksgiving showdown in the afternoon. So I listen, I 1714 01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:45.800 have so much I feel like I picked up Jayden Reid, 1715 01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:47.760 and like I pick him up in like two different 1716 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:50.760 leagues every single week. So I have so much Jayden 1717 01:23:50.800 --> 01:23:53.039 read that I picked up off the waiver wire right now. 1718 01:23:53.199 --> 01:23:55.119 Not that I necessarily love that because I know how 1719 01:23:55.199 --> 01:23:57.199 much the Packers spread the ball around, but if I 1720 01:23:57.279 --> 01:23:59.319 get them for a buck or two off the waiver wire, 1721 01:23:59.359 --> 01:24:00.720 I'm gonna do that. So I have a lot of 1722 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:03.520 Jade Reid. I'm excited what to what he can do, 1723 01:24:03.680 --> 01:24:05.640 to see what he can do down the stretch they see, 1724 01:24:05.760 --> 01:24:10.159 And maybe more excitement exists because I feel like he 1725 01:24:10.279 --> 01:24:15.359 and Tucker Craft are more duplication of skills a little 1726 01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:19.000 bit in that offense rather than complimentary players. And so 1727 01:24:19.119 --> 01:24:21.880 what you lack in Tucker Craft, maybe Jayden Reid picks 1728 01:24:21.920 --> 01:24:23.159 up the slack a little bit there. 1729 01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:25.159 Yeah, I think we're right on the same page. Ball 1730 01:24:25.199 --> 01:24:26.720 g Like I was just thinking that. I was like, 1731 01:24:26.760 --> 01:24:28.479 you know, there's there's so many things that they do 1732 01:24:28.520 --> 01:24:30.640 that are very similar in their skill sets and things 1733 01:24:30.720 --> 01:24:33.720 like that. And so I also have been just hanging 1734 01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:35.720 on to Jane Reid anywhere. If I was playing and 1735 01:24:35.760 --> 01:24:37.560 I had an IR spot, he was going in it 1736 01:24:37.600 --> 01:24:39.840 and I was just hanging on to him, and I 1737 01:24:39.880 --> 01:24:41.560 heard a lot of the same things this week that 1738 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:43.680 you know, like he's he's getting close to coming back. 1739 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:46.399 You know, we should have him for the fantasy playoffs 1740 01:24:46.399 --> 01:24:48.640 hopefully so. And I saw the same notice about them 1741 01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:50.359 not wanting to open their windows in the middle of 1742 01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.880 the week. So those are all kind of like good 1743 01:24:52.920 --> 01:24:54.800 signs to me that you know they're going to be 1744 01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:56.319 back in the next They're going to be back soon. 1745 01:24:56.720 --> 01:25:00.279 So I hang on to them, don't drop them. Go 1746 01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:02.439 check your waiver wires for people that did drop them 1747 01:25:02.439 --> 01:25:04.680 and give up. I think we talked about Read briefly 1748 01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:06.720 on the Waiver Show earlier this week. I want to say, 1749 01:25:06.840 --> 01:25:09.399 he's only something like twenty percent roster and something like that, 1750 01:25:09.399 --> 01:25:12.800 crazy across league. So he's out there, he's available, and 1751 01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:14.800 he's going to be He's going to be a huge 1752 01:25:14.800 --> 01:25:16.680 contributor for the Packers as soon as he gets back. 1753 01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:19.920 Giving an update on the game here tonight, we had 1754 01:25:20.079 --> 01:25:24.520 a I mentioned the James Cook four yard run, Dawson 1755 01:25:24.600 --> 01:25:27.800 Knox incomplete pass, Khalil Shakir catches a five yard pass, 1756 01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:30.399 Josh Allen gets a quarterback sneak up the middle to 1757 01:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.680 pick up the first down on fourth and one, no 1758 01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:34.840 gain from James Cook. 1759 01:25:35.319 --> 01:25:37.720 Then a pass completion to James Cook for two yards. 1760 01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:41.119 Ty Johnson picks up another Buffalo Bill's first down with 1761 01:25:41.199 --> 01:25:44.560 a thirteen yard catch. On third down. Bill's still in 1762 01:25:44.560 --> 01:25:47.359 their own territory, first and ten from their own forty six, 1763 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:51.000 ten oh six to go in the first quarter. I 1764 01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:54.119 have to bring up Darnel Washington here, which I think 1765 01:25:54.199 --> 01:25:56.279 is exciting from a lot of different levels. And I 1766 01:25:56.359 --> 01:25:57.920 don't know if you saw, and I can't remember what 1767 01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:00.640 it's called, but to Monro Saint Brown and his brother 1768 01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:01.479 I believe. 1769 01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:03.760 Oh yeah they do. 1770 01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:07.159 Donald Washington was on this podcast and I was flabbergasted 1771 01:26:07.199 --> 01:26:11.119 by this. He's six foot seven. Now did you see this, Stacy? 1772 01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:13.520 I did. I actually I subscribed. 1773 01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:15.359 To the Okay, so there you go. So there you go. 1774 01:26:16.399 --> 01:26:19.039 It's like it's like the Brown Brothers. 1775 01:26:19.239 --> 01:26:21.039 Yeah, I know. But what's it called. It's there's I 1776 01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:21.760 think that's it. 1777 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:25.239 That's how I found it was the same, it's something else. 1778 01:26:25.479 --> 01:26:29.760 Yeah, it's like called like undeclared or undaunted or much. 1779 01:26:29.840 --> 01:26:31.520 I paid attention a whole lot. 1780 01:26:31.520 --> 01:26:33.239 I'm gonna find this here. Maybe it is just called 1781 01:26:33.239 --> 01:26:35.479 the Saint Brown Podcast. Yeah, I think it is. It's 1782 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:37.720 just you're right, it's a Saint Brown podcast. I'm thinking 1783 01:26:37.720 --> 01:26:40.479 of some other probably something by the other. 1784 01:26:40.439 --> 01:26:42.079 Name sounds way better, honestly. 1785 01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:45.399 Yeah, well, I mean listen, it's it's it's their name. 1786 01:26:45.439 --> 01:26:48.680 It's better for the Google search engine for SEO, so 1787 01:26:49.000 --> 01:26:52.279 I get it. So Donald Washington was their guest on 1788 01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:57.079 this six foot seven and apparently this dude currently weighs 1789 01:26:57.159 --> 01:27:01.520 three hundred and eleven pounds and he's moving like with 1790 01:27:01.600 --> 01:27:05.960 the dexterity of a four foot, one hundred pound nothing gymnast. 1791 01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:09.199 Right now, this is insane of how good this guy is. 1792 01:27:09.880 --> 01:27:13.039 If you had to own a Steelers tight end right now, 1793 01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:17.760 your your love affair with Darnel Washington's production aside? Is 1794 01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:20.840 it Washington? Is it Friar Mooth? I mean there's John 1795 01:27:20.880 --> 01:27:24.640 new Smith is there as well. I feel like it's 1796 01:27:24.720 --> 01:27:26.600 weird because it's an Arthur Smith offense. So I feel 1797 01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:28.199 like I should want to have one of these tight 1798 01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:30.760 ends on my roster to deploy in a pinch. But 1799 01:27:30.840 --> 01:27:32.680 I don't know if I could decide on one. Maybe 1800 01:27:32.720 --> 01:27:34.359 Washington just decided on it for me. 1801 01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:40.479 Okay. Also incredible stat about Darnel Washington. Also Balky do 1802 01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:41.720 you want to know how big his hands are? 1803 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.079 Sure? Go ahead, eleven is. 1804 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:46.239 The size of a piece of paper. His hands like 1805 01:27:46.279 --> 01:27:48.119 the size of a just think of a piece which 1806 01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:52.239 I've never dropped, never, never. He's been doing this since 1807 01:27:52.319 --> 01:27:55.640 he was at Georgia. Okay, he's just been stuck. You know, 1808 01:27:55.840 --> 01:28:00.000 we needed Arthur Smith to come liberate Darnel Washington, which 1809 01:28:00.119 --> 01:28:02.239 I never thought that I would ever say that about 1810 01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:04.800 Arthur Smith. But he is the best thing that has 1811 01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:06.960 happened to Darneld Washington. And you know who else is 1812 01:28:06.960 --> 01:28:09.680 the second best thing is our boy, Aaron Rodgers, because 1813 01:28:09.720 --> 01:28:14.600 he loves him some Darnell Washington. He has had multiple 1814 01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:18.159 Fantasy relevant games right now. I'm looking at two against 1815 01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:22.199 Cleveland Cincinnati. He put up nine points, ten points here 1816 01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:25.720 against the other game against Cincinnati, he's getting in the 1817 01:28:25.840 --> 01:28:29.239 end zone. You just you have to love that from 1818 01:28:29.319 --> 01:28:33.159 a man that size. Oh my gosh, I'm picking one 1819 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:35.119 tight end from the Steelers. I think I gotta go 1820 01:28:35.159 --> 01:28:40.119 Patti Fryes right realistically, but do I have Darneld Washington 1821 01:28:40.279 --> 01:28:43.760 stashed away in a couple of leagues? Yes, I do, Yes, 1822 01:28:43.800 --> 01:28:46.159 I do. And also to can I just say, can 1823 01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:50.000 we just that I've watched that clip of that thirty 1824 01:28:50.079 --> 01:28:53.680 yard run where he just just throwing the Bengals left 1825 01:28:53.720 --> 01:28:56.399 and right. You know, I've watched it probably a hundred times, 1826 01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:59.199 and I just I cannot get enough of it. It 1827 01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:01.439 just makes my day every time I see it. Just 1828 01:29:01.439 --> 01:29:04.079 just put and the last one I forgot who it was, 1829 01:29:04.319 --> 01:29:06.720 but the Steelers guy that were like running kind of 1830 01:29:06.760 --> 01:29:09.720 like diagonal towards him, and the Steelers guy pushes the 1831 01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:12.079 guy in front of Darnell and he just like just 1832 01:29:12.159 --> 01:29:14.880 tosses him off to the side, and it just it 1833 01:29:15.039 --> 01:29:17.680 just brings me so much joy. I just just enjoy 1834 01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:19.119 that that clip so much. 1835 01:29:19.359 --> 01:29:21.840 If you're ever having a bad day, just queue up 1836 01:29:21.880 --> 01:29:25.000 that clip on YouTube or x or whatever TikTok and 1837 01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:27.439 you'll be having a better day after that. I'll say 1838 01:29:27.439 --> 01:29:29.239 he was having a good day. James Cook, who is 1839 01:29:29.279 --> 01:29:31.560 now over a thousand rushing yards on the season, we 1840 01:29:31.640 --> 01:29:34.840 just talked about this stacy. He was close After a 1841 01:29:35.039 --> 01:29:38.600 Dawson Knox catch for nine yards and a Josh Palmer incompletion, 1842 01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:42.520 James Cook rumbles right tackle for forty five yards, scoring 1843 01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:46.960 a touchdown. Six nothing bills because Matt Prater missed the 1844 01:29:47.079 --> 01:29:49.960 extra point wide left nine to eleven ago in the 1845 01:29:50.000 --> 01:29:54.119 first quarter six years Buffalo as Yeah, and now I 1846 01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:56.319 got to check to see how many trader in this week, 1847 01:29:56.359 --> 01:29:57.760 which is hopefully too many. 1848 01:29:57.880 --> 01:29:58.359 Is how many? 1849 01:29:58.359 --> 01:30:01.560 I haven't man apparently, Yeah, Texans are about to get 1850 01:30:01.560 --> 01:30:04.000 the ball back. We'll see what happens there. We briefly 1851 01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:06.399 touched on Marshawn Lloyd. I want to ask you this too. 1852 01:30:07.039 --> 01:30:09.680 Rob Demowski had a report I think this came out 1853 01:30:10.000 --> 01:30:15.600 Wednesday that Lloyd was is making good progress in his rehab. 1854 01:30:16.039 --> 01:30:18.479 I want to say it was Demovsky last week who 1855 01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.000 maybe it was Matt Schneidman from the Athletic but talked 1856 01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:25.880 about both Lloyd and Reid. Since they're still on injured reserve, 1857 01:30:25.920 --> 01:30:27.680 they can't work out with the team, but they were 1858 01:30:27.720 --> 01:30:32.159 working up both really good sweats, the hardest Schneidman has 1859 01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:34.760 seen them work out this whole offseason, and that was 1860 01:30:34.880 --> 01:30:38.439 last week. Right. The fact that that Lloyd and Reid 1861 01:30:38.479 --> 01:30:41.920 are this close, that are working out this hard, means 1862 01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:44.840 that they're this close to being activated. The question for 1863 01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:47.560 Lloyd here is what kind of a backfield is he 1864 01:30:47.640 --> 01:30:51.880 coming back into. Josh Jacobs said, worst case scenario he 1865 01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:55.319 misses the Vikings game, well, that means you're playing against 1866 01:30:55.319 --> 01:30:59.119 Detroit on Thursday. And again we're taking the injury analysis 1867 01:30:59.159 --> 01:31:00.960 from the player, which I know normally don't like to do. 1868 01:31:01.279 --> 01:31:03.800 But Matt Lafleur has refused to rule out Josh Jacobs 1869 01:31:03.840 --> 01:31:06.279 yet this week. So let's say Lloyd gets his practice 1870 01:31:06.279 --> 01:31:08.520 window opened up next week. Let's say he's active for 1871 01:31:08.560 --> 01:31:12.159 the Lions game. Emmanuel Wilson's looked really good, I think 1872 01:31:12.199 --> 01:31:15.800 for what Chris Brooks does for this backfield in the 1873 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:18.079 limited amount of stamps that he's in, but what he's 1874 01:31:18.079 --> 01:31:19.960 asked to do, whether it be past block or catch 1875 01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:22.079 a pass or pick up a few yards, he's been 1876 01:31:22.159 --> 01:31:24.720 very good as well. I don't know how Marshawn Lloyd 1877 01:31:24.760 --> 01:31:27.399 figures into this. I have him on IR in a 1878 01:31:27.399 --> 01:31:29.680 couple of Dynasty leagues and I'm wondering when he gets 1879 01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:31.520 back if I have to activate, and I'm like, god, 1880 01:31:31.560 --> 01:31:33.159 I don't know how relevant he's going to be in 1881 01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:34.239 this Packers backfield. 1882 01:31:36.239 --> 01:31:39.680 To quote Michael Scott as it relates to Marshall Lloyd, 1883 01:31:40.479 --> 01:31:45.880 I'm ready to be hurt again. I have had so 1884 01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:49.840 much hope for Marshall Lloyd for so long, and it 1885 01:31:50.039 --> 01:31:52.560 just felt like every time, you know, you just oh, 1886 01:31:52.640 --> 01:31:55.199 we just got so close to some relevancy and he 1887 01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:58.720 would get hurt again. I had, I actually had to, 1888 01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:00.880 I had to dump him in and Dynesty League. I 1889 01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:03.239 just had. I had so many injuries elsewhere that I 1890 01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:06.479 just didn't have a choice. So I think you make 1891 01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:09.079 a great point though about Wilson and Brooks, and they've 1892 01:32:09.119 --> 01:32:11.800 looked really good. So I don't know that he would 1893 01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:15.880 be fantasy relevant unless you know, God forbid something tragic happened. 1894 01:32:16.800 --> 01:32:20.079 But yeah, I really wouldn't count on him this season. 1895 01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:22.000 I maybe I want to see what he's got a 1896 01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:24.039 little bit, you know, just going forward, maybe for next 1897 01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:26.479 year for some dynasty purposes. But I don't think I'm 1898 01:32:26.479 --> 01:32:27.960 going to rely on him at all, And I don't 1899 01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:30.239 I don't even know that it's worth like a deeply 1900 01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:33.039 dart throw waiver ad at this point. 1901 01:32:32.920 --> 01:32:36.840 He has missed so much time in his career at 1902 01:32:36.880 --> 01:32:40.159 the professional level. Really difficult for us to sell or 1903 01:32:40.199 --> 01:32:42.840 really difficult for me to sell Marshall Lloyd to anybody 1904 01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:45.920 at this point, which is it's not great. He definitely 1905 01:32:46.000 --> 01:32:47.840 will not be a player that you pick up in 1906 01:32:47.880 --> 01:32:50.560 the FFPC Weekly Challenge this week. However, that doesn't mean 1907 01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:52.479 you can't pick up a packer. What it does mean 1908 01:32:52.680 --> 01:32:55.079 is you can't pick up two packers. If you want 1909 01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:57.880 Jordan Love on your team, you cannot have Emmanuel Wilson. 1910 01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:01.520 If you want Austin Jefferson on your team, you cannot 1911 01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:04.239 have Aaron Jones. It's one of the things that makes 1912 01:33:04.279 --> 01:33:07.319 the f FPC Weekly Challenge so much fun. The Thursday 1913 01:33:07.399 --> 01:33:09.960 challenges closed, the Sunday one is still open. No draft, 1914 01:33:09.960 --> 01:33:12.720 no salary cap. Just pick whatever ten players or twelve 1915 01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:14.279 players you want if you want to play with kickers 1916 01:33:14.279 --> 01:33:17.039 and defenses and let them ride throughout the weekend. Again, 1917 01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:19.479 just one player per team. You can play in ten 1918 01:33:19.600 --> 01:33:21.800 thirty one hundred team contest went up to twenty five 1919 01:33:21.880 --> 01:33:25.279 hundred dollars. Register now my f FPC dot com.

Going to a break in 1921 01:33:28.760 --> 01:33:32.680 the action here on Amazon Prime as we wait for 1922 01:33:32.720 --> 01:33:34.960 the Texans to get the ball back, we will also 1923 01:33:35.079 --> 01:33:37.720 take a quick break in the action. We are gonna 1924 01:33:37.720 --> 01:33:39.600 do some starter sits when we come back. We're gonna 1925 01:33:39.600 --> 01:33:42.239 talk about ty J. Spears, We're gonna talk about DJ Moore, 1926 01:33:42.800 --> 01:33:46.439 Taysom Hill we will talk about as well as Trevor Lawrence, 1927 01:33:46.560 --> 01:33:50.399 Stacey Perez, Fantasy and Frames player profiler and Dynasty d 1928 01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:53.359 Jens joins me on the f FPC Insider Access show. 1929 01:33:53.560 --> 01:33:56.159 Your start Sick questions answered right after this on the 1930 01:33:56.159 --> 01:33:57.279 Better Sports Network. 1931 01:33:58.039 --> 01:34:01.319 Folks, let me talk to you about my favorite weekly 1932 01:34:01.399 --> 01:34:04.159 platform to play on. You know, we all play Dynasty, 1933 01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:06.960 and we all play Redraft, but we've got to find 1934 01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:11.079 someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC Weekly Challenge is 1935 01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:14.079 my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of 1936 01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:17.760 the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a 1937 01:34:17.880 --> 01:34:20.960 draft to make a team, or even having to play 1938 01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:23.279 against these people that are stacking up the same team, 1939 01:34:23.399 --> 01:34:25.840 stacking up certain games and you feel like you have 1940 01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:27.840 to put in a million entries or or have to 1941 01:34:27.880 --> 01:34:30.319 have those certain stacks to win, then come play over 1942 01:34:30.359 --> 01:34:34.199 at f FPC. Really, the only main rule that you 1943 01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:36.720 have to deal with is that you cannot select multiple 1944 01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:38.880 players from the same team. I'm going out and I'm 1945 01:34:38.920 --> 01:34:41.279 trying to find the best of the best of the 1946 01:34:41.279 --> 01:34:43.800 best players and put them into a lineup, and that's 1947 01:34:43.840 --> 01:34:46.680 what you can do over at my FFPC. You can 1948 01:34:46.680 --> 01:34:49.600 go out and you can take the number one running 1949 01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:53.199 back in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley. 1950 01:34:53.239 --> 01:34:54.840 As long as they're not in the same team, you 1951 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.079 can put them all into a lineup right. And there's 1952 01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.720 four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility. 1953 01:35:00.119 --> 01:35:03.079 There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses, 1954 01:35:03.199 --> 01:35:06.479 one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a 1955 01:35:06.520 --> 01:35:08.399 bunch of different price boys. You can play at thirty 1956 01:35:08.399 --> 01:35:11.359 five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy 1957 01:35:11.439 --> 01:35:13.840 in and you're going out and you're just picking the 1958 01:35:13.960 --> 01:35:16.840 absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of 1959 01:35:16.880 --> 01:35:19.159 a sleeper. There's somebody that you think can really blow 1960 01:35:19.239 --> 01:35:21.479 up that week. And that's how it works. It's one 1961 01:35:21.520 --> 01:35:24.920 of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers, 1962 01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:28.239 and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice. 1963 01:35:28.319 --> 01:35:30.840 That is where the best high stakes games are. That's 1964 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:33.520 where the best experts play, and that's where I play 1965 01:35:33.600 --> 01:35:36.479 because I want to be an FFPC champion and put 1966 01:35:36.479 --> 01:35:38.840 that title on me, put the money in my pocket 1967 01:35:39.039 --> 01:35:42.439 and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the 1968 01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:45.920 FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place of play during 1969 01:35:45.920 --> 01:35:46.399 the season. 1970 01:35:47.000 --> 01:35:50.760 FFPC Insider Access rolls on here live tonight on the 1971 01:35:50.800 --> 01:35:54.159 Better Sports Network. I'm Eric Balkman. She's Stacey Perez from 1972 01:35:54.279 --> 01:35:57.920 Fantasy and Frames player profiler and Dynasty d Jens. We 1973 01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:00.239 are hanging out watching a little Thursday Night foot ball 1974 01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:04.159 with you tonight. Big return after that touchdown by a Buffalo, 1975 01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:06.479 Jalen Nol gets the ball out to the forty one 1976 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:09.319 yard line, and then we see Nick Chubb for seven 1977 01:36:09.399 --> 01:36:12.600 yards for five yards, and then Jayden Higgins catches a 1978 01:36:12.640 --> 01:36:16.079 ten yard pass, an incomplete pass to Dalton Schultz, and 1979 01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:18.640 then Woody Marx gets in the box score with a 1980 01:36:18.680 --> 01:36:21.840 twelve yard game and then a nineteen yard game. So 1981 01:36:21.960 --> 01:36:24.880 right now the Texans are threatening. They have the ball 1982 01:36:24.960 --> 01:36:28.119 first in goal from the Buffalo six marks three carries 1983 01:36:28.119 --> 01:36:30.520 for thirty seven yards. Looking pretty good so far. I 1984 01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:32.920 might have a Texans touchdown to report to you here 1985 01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:36.880 in a minute. Let's get into some starter sits here tonight, Stacey, 1986 01:36:37.159 --> 01:36:39.880 and we'll lead off with running backs as we usually 1987 01:36:39.920 --> 01:36:42.920 do on this show. You can only start one of 1988 01:36:42.920 --> 01:36:46.319 these players, is it going to be one? DeAndre Swift 1989 01:36:46.319 --> 01:36:48.399 this week, who is going to be at home against 1990 01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:52.359 the Pittsburgh Steelers, Or would you rather play Kenneth Walker, 1991 01:36:52.439 --> 01:36:55.039 who is at Tennessee in a Golden matchup? 1992 01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:57.840 Yeah, I think I have to go with Walker this week. 1993 01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:02.000 I think overall, Swift has been more productive this season, 1994 01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:04.439 but the Steelers are giving up so many points to 1995 01:37:04.479 --> 01:37:06.680 the wide receiver position. I just can't help but think 1996 01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:09.800 that Ben Jonson's sitting back there, like scheming all sorts 1997 01:37:09.840 --> 01:37:12.600 of ways to get Roma Dunes the ball, Luther Burden. 1998 01:37:12.800 --> 01:37:14.720 I mean, maybe they'll go crazy, even get Dj Moore 1999 01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:17.479 a couple passes, who knows, you know, So I think 2000 01:37:17.479 --> 01:37:19.520 it's going to be a pass heavy game for them. 2001 01:37:19.560 --> 01:37:21.279 So that's why I think the game script is a 2002 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:23.199 little bit better for Ken Walker this week. 2003 01:37:23.560 --> 01:37:25.640 And you know, he's been turning it on as far 2004 01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:28.119 as like I don't want to say, distancing himself from 2005 01:37:28.199 --> 01:37:31.119 Zach Charbona, but but you know, we were complaining, at 2006 01:37:31.199 --> 01:37:32.840 least I was complaining a lot of the year that 2007 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:35.600 Charboney was getting all these touches or whatever, And it 2008 01:37:35.720 --> 01:37:38.479 just seems like over the course of the last two 2009 01:37:38.520 --> 01:37:40.439 or three weeks, Walker's getting a little bit more and 2010 01:37:40.479 --> 01:37:42.960 a little bit more so maybe maybe that's the case. 2011 01:37:43.039 --> 01:37:45.720 This week, we'll see what happens with Kenneth Walker. I'm 2012 01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:48.239 with you. I I have a slight lean to Walker 2013 01:37:48.319 --> 01:37:50.880 over Swift this week, just because of the Kyle Manungai 2014 01:37:50.920 --> 01:37:54.239 factor as well the latest we have And I can't 2015 01:37:54.239 --> 01:37:56.600 believe we didn't. I didn't bring this up. This is 2016 01:37:56.640 --> 01:37:59.239 a This is my fault that we didn't talk about 2017 01:37:59.239 --> 01:38:06.159 the Isaiah p Echorey status. He ends up getting a 2018 01:38:07.000 --> 01:38:10.239 was it a full practice or limited practice yesterday? Limited 2019 01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:14.119 practice today? Which is which is the biggest thing, and 2020 01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:18.840 apparently wearing a massive brace on it. This is the Colts. 2021 01:38:19.359 --> 01:38:22.800 I can't imagine. I can't imagine that he'd be out there. 2022 01:38:22.840 --> 01:38:25.680 I don't think he would be Which makes Kareem Hunt 2023 01:38:25.800 --> 01:38:29.279 a little bit more viable this week, Stacy kareem Hunt 2024 01:38:29.319 --> 01:38:32.119 against the Colts or a guy coming off an ankle 2025 01:38:32.159 --> 01:38:36.000 injury himself. Jalen Warren who is at the Bears this week. 2026 01:38:36.199 --> 01:38:38.399 Jalen Warren did return to practice today. 2027 01:38:39.279 --> 01:38:41.479 Yeah, you know, I don't really love either one of these. 2028 01:38:42.119 --> 01:38:44.520 But you know, you're you're probably having this, You're probably 2029 01:38:44.520 --> 01:38:46.840 having this question in your leagues, right now I think 2030 01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:48.920 I have to go Warren. I think for me, Courent, 2031 01:38:49.840 --> 01:38:53.079 that's I just combined his name. Kareem Hunt is a 2032 01:38:53.079 --> 01:38:56.279 little too touchdown dependent. In games where he's not getting 2033 01:38:56.279 --> 01:38:58.319 in the end zone. There's five of those this season, 2034 01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:03.159 He's only averaged four point one, yeah, four point one 2035 01:39:03.239 --> 01:39:05.880 eight Fantasy points and that's in a PPR format, So 2036 01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:09.159 that's really ugly. So you're just hoping that he is 2037 01:39:09.239 --> 01:39:11.600 gonna like bully his weight into the touchdown into the 2038 01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:14.239 end zone. So I don't love that I'd have to 2039 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:18.319 rely on that necessarily. And you can throw on the Colts, 2040 01:39:18.319 --> 01:39:19.960 So I think that's really what Mahomes is going to 2041 01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:21.840 be doing all day. It's just kind of like throwing 2042 01:39:21.880 --> 01:39:25.039 the ball, you know. With them their run defense, as 2043 01:39:25.039 --> 01:39:26.800 far as the Colts go, they're only giving up ninety 2044 01:39:26.800 --> 01:39:30.119 two yards total, which is the fifth fewest overall in 2045 01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:33.039 the league. So I think I'm like in Chicago a 2046 01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:35.079 little bit more for Jayalen Warren, even though he is 2047 01:39:35.079 --> 01:39:38.159 coming off that ankle injury. There Bears are allowing one 2048 01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:42.560 hundred and thirty three rushing yards per game. I'm not 2049 01:39:42.640 --> 01:39:45.760 even sure it's really even you know, gonna matter who's 2050 01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:48.520 under center at the situation. I think we're leaning towards Rogers, right, 2051 01:39:48.520 --> 01:39:50.960 I think Rogers is gonna play okay. I mean, and 2052 01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:53.960 let's be real, even with a broken hand, he's still 2053 01:39:54.000 --> 01:39:56.920 better than Mason Rudolph. So I'm not really sure that 2054 01:39:56.920 --> 01:39:59.079 that really even makes a difference, but I think I'm 2055 01:39:59.119 --> 01:40:00.880 definitely gonna have to leave towards Warren here. 2056 01:40:01.079 --> 01:40:03.720 Yeah, Rogers taken snaps from the first team offense. I 2057 01:40:03.760 --> 01:40:06.319 believe both yesterday and today pretty much all in the 2058 01:40:06.399 --> 01:40:09.119 gun hasn't gone under center at all, and it is 2059 01:40:09.119 --> 01:40:12.199 his left wrist that has the fracture rather than his 2060 01:40:12.760 --> 01:40:16.319 right one. So you know, and I understand we saw 2061 01:40:16.319 --> 01:40:20.479 a big game from Kenth Gainwell last week, but I 2062 01:40:20.520 --> 01:40:24.119 do believe that if Jalen Warren is healthy, we don't 2063 01:40:24.159 --> 01:40:27.439 see that type of game from Gainwell. So I'm with you. 2064 01:40:27.479 --> 01:40:30.199 I think it's Warren over Hunt. I know Britchard Smith's 2065 01:40:30.359 --> 01:40:33.520 snaps have been descending downward for whatever reason, but I 2066 01:40:33.560 --> 01:40:36.720 still think it's warrant update on the game here tonight. 2067 01:40:36.840 --> 01:40:39.680 So I mentioned that the Bills had a first goal 2068 01:40:39.720 --> 01:40:42.119 for the six, Woody Marx gets it down to the 2069 01:40:42.159 --> 01:40:45.479 one and then an incomplete pass to Jalen Knowle and 2070 01:40:45.560 --> 01:40:48.680 another incomplete pass to Christian Kirk and it is a 2071 01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:51.640 Kaiimi fair baron field goal from twenty four yards out. 2072 01:40:51.680 --> 01:40:54.359 So here we go state the fair baron field goals 2073 01:40:54.399 --> 01:40:58.840 are starting to three now for the Bills, who are 2074 01:40:58.840 --> 01:41:00.880 going to get the ball back four point thirty two 2075 01:41:00.960 --> 01:41:04.319 to go in the first quarter here on Thursday Night Football. 2076 01:41:04.720 --> 01:41:06.920 Okay, do we have any stats on Matt Milano? 2077 01:41:07.479 --> 01:41:09.720 Oh? Yeah, Oh, that's a great I'm gonna bring that 2078 01:41:09.800 --> 01:41:12.119 up right now. Let's bring that up right now and 2079 01:41:12.159 --> 01:41:15.239 we'll find out exactly how many tackles Matt Milano has, 2080 01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:18.560 which is zero point zero currently he does not have 2081 01:41:18.640 --> 01:41:22.159 any tackles, no, no sacks, no tackles for loss, no 2082 01:41:22.279 --> 01:41:25.600 quarterback hits, no touchdowns, no picks, no fubble recoveries, no 2083 01:41:25.640 --> 01:41:33.560 force fumbles, nothing but all right, Tyler Algir or tij 2084 01:41:33.760 --> 01:41:36.680 Spears this week, Stacy, this is another fun one to 2085 01:41:36.760 --> 01:41:42.560 do here. Tij Spears a splitting time with the with 2086 01:41:42.640 --> 01:41:45.760 Tony Powllard in that Titans backfield. They are hosting the 2087 01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:49.159 Seattle Seahawks this week is tay J Spears and then 2088 01:41:49.399 --> 01:41:53.359 Tyler Algier is in New Orleans this week again with 2089 01:41:53.439 --> 01:41:57.079 Kirk Cousins in at quarterback. Adam Levitan from Established the 2090 01:41:57.119 --> 01:42:00.840 Run said this past week, you cannot start Tis, but 2091 01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:04.199 you cannot cut ty J. Spears either, because of what 2092 01:42:04.279 --> 01:42:07.039 could happen with this backfield if one of these guys 2093 01:42:07.039 --> 01:42:09.800 were going to go down to give him a little 2094 01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:12.840 bit of a rebuttal, I think I might play Spears 2095 01:42:12.840 --> 01:42:15.159 this week over Elgier. How do you feel about it? 2096 01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:20.359 So, I just even though you're splitting carries right with 2097 01:42:20.680 --> 01:42:24.039 Tony Pollard here, I'm not really sure that that makes 2098 01:42:24.039 --> 01:42:26.520 a difference when the team can only score about fourteen 2099 01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:28.720 points per game on average, which is the lowest in 2100 01:42:28.760 --> 01:42:31.840 the league. So I don't like their offense at all 2101 01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:34.199 right now. Even if he was the only one back there, 2102 01:42:34.239 --> 01:42:35.960 I think I might be a little bit more inclined, 2103 01:42:36.920 --> 01:42:39.520 you know, to start him. But I think I gotta 2104 01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:43.359 go with Tyler Algier here. You know, you lose Penix 2105 01:42:43.640 --> 01:42:46.600 London's ol. Darnell Mooney will get to him in a second, 2106 01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:50.840 but he's not impressed. This was a run first offense 2107 01:42:50.880 --> 01:42:52.600 to begin with, and it is going to be a 2108 01:42:52.720 --> 01:42:55.199 run only offense. I kind of think back there with 2109 01:42:55.279 --> 01:42:57.119 cousins now, So I think this is one of those 2110 01:42:57.119 --> 01:42:59.560 we talked about, you know, running back committees that we 2111 01:42:59.600 --> 01:43:02.800 could start. We'd feel comfortable starting both guys. I think 2112 01:43:02.840 --> 01:43:05.720 I feel comfortable starting both Algeria and Robinson this week. 2113 01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:09.039 All right, Yeah, and I get that because it seems 2114 01:43:09.079 --> 01:43:11.640 like Algier gets these lay up touchdowns every single week, 2115 01:43:12.039 --> 01:43:14.199 and New Orleans might be right for that this week 2116 01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:15.960 as well. We have to go to Bill Hollywood. I 2117 01:43:15.960 --> 01:43:19.720 can't believe I missed this, Bill Hollywood, chiming in anyone 2118 01:43:19.760 --> 01:43:22.359 think that ad Ni Mitchell can do anything this week 2119 01:43:22.640 --> 01:43:25.760 because he has to either play Brock Right or ad 2120 01:43:25.840 --> 01:43:30.600 Ni Mitchell, which is awful. Frankly, Bill, and I don't 2121 01:43:30.600 --> 01:43:34.319 feel any sympathy to Bill because he is crushing the 2122 01:43:34.439 --> 01:43:36.800 f FPC main event and Big Gorilla right now. He 2123 01:43:36.880 --> 01:43:39.760 has several teams in contention, and by incontention, I mean 2124 01:43:39.840 --> 01:43:43.199 like in the top thirty, the top twenty five team, 2125 01:43:43.279 --> 01:43:45.520 and one of them this year. So the fact that 2126 01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:47.079 you have to play Right or Mitchell, I hope this 2127 01:43:47.159 --> 01:43:49.159 is not from one of your good teams, Bill, But 2128 01:43:49.640 --> 01:43:51.920 to answer your question, and I can't believe I'm answering 2129 01:43:52.000 --> 01:43:55.000 this question, tight end premium, I'm playing brock right non 2130 01:43:55.079 --> 01:43:57.479 tight end premium, I'm playing ad Ni Mitchell. I think 2131 01:43:57.560 --> 01:43:59.000 that's why I leave it on this Stacy. 2132 01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:02.640 Yeah, I am not crying for you, Bill at all. 2133 01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:07.079 You get a new QB this week with Taylor in there, 2134 01:44:07.159 --> 01:44:09.159 so maybe there's some sort of connection there with Mitchell. 2135 01:44:09.239 --> 01:44:11.159 Maybe you can just cross your fingers and helper hard 2136 01:44:11.159 --> 01:44:13.920 that they kind of connect. But other than that, yeah, 2137 01:44:14.239 --> 01:44:15.960 I don't know that I have any role hope for 2138 01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:16.800 the Jets. 2139 01:44:17.399 --> 01:44:21.760 Jackson Hawes has entered the box score for the Bills tonight. However, 2140 01:44:21.840 --> 01:44:24.039 it's not the way he wanted. It is a ten 2141 01:44:24.119 --> 01:44:28.319 yard holding penalty on the kickoff. Another special teams penalty 2142 01:44:28.319 --> 01:44:30.039 on the Bills tonight that backs him up to their 2143 01:44:30.039 --> 01:44:33.840 own twenty two. James Cook for six yards, Khalil Shakir 2144 01:44:33.880 --> 01:44:35.920 for negative two, and the Bills have taken a time 2145 01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:38.560 out with three thirteen to go in the first quarter. 2146 01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:43.800 It is going to be third and what are not 2147 01:44:43.840 --> 01:44:46.239 saying third and six from their own six team. They 2148 01:44:46.239 --> 01:44:48.279 have taken a break on Amazon Prime. We will not 2149 01:44:48.319 --> 01:44:50.720 take a break here as we press on to wide 2150 01:44:50.720 --> 01:44:54.279 receiver questions here, start or sit one of these two 2151 01:44:54.319 --> 01:44:58.720 players here, Stacey Perez, are you looking at starting up? Well, 2152 01:44:58.720 --> 01:45:01.239 I should ask you this. I'll phrase it this way. 2153 01:45:01.439 --> 01:45:05.520 Who would you rather start? Between Darnell Mooney or Xavier Worthy? 2154 01:45:05.680 --> 01:45:09.239 Two players we've talked about on the show tonight. Mooney 2155 01:45:09.359 --> 01:45:12.520 at New Orleans, Xavier Worthy against the Colts, and just 2156 01:45:12.600 --> 01:45:16.039 to be a fair Exavier Worthy. I haven't seen the 2157 01:45:16.079 --> 01:45:19.319 practice report today. He's dealing with an ankle injury. He 2158 01:45:19.560 --> 01:45:23.039 was slated to at least practice today. Mooney versus Worthy 2159 01:45:23.119 --> 01:45:24.479 this this week? Who you got? 2160 01:45:25.520 --> 01:45:28.239 I think I'd still start Worthy, And that's just you know, 2161 01:45:28.359 --> 01:45:31.239 Mooney has really just he's dealt with some injuries and 2162 01:45:31.239 --> 01:45:34.880 when he's been healthy, he's not really been productive, you know. 2163 01:45:35.039 --> 01:45:36.840 And then I mean, you can try to make the 2164 01:45:36.960 --> 01:45:40.119 argument of all volume, right because London's going to be out, 2165 01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:43.039 but you're gonna have Kirk Cousins throwing at him quite prankicly. 2166 01:45:43.119 --> 01:45:46.199 Kirk Cousins has looked terrible the games that he's been 2167 01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:48.720 in there, So I don't really, you know, have any 2168 01:45:48.760 --> 01:45:51.279 sort of faith that that passing offense is really going 2169 01:45:51.319 --> 01:45:53.199 to do anything. And I think you have to downgrade everybody, 2170 01:45:53.399 --> 01:45:57.039 including cal Pitts, you know, again. I just think this 2171 01:45:57.079 --> 01:45:59.560 is going to be such a run heavy offense for 2172 01:45:59.640 --> 01:46:03.479 the foul Flkins going forward, no matter the matchup. I 2173 01:46:03.520 --> 01:46:06.039 can't I can't feel comfortable starting any of those guys 2174 01:46:06.199 --> 01:46:08.600 sending him. Got to go with Worthy there, even on 2175 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:10.960 a bum ankle, I think I gotta go Worthy. 2176 01:46:12.159 --> 01:46:15.920 So we have this from driver ten thirty six chiming 2177 01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:20.560 in on Twitch saying that Josh Allen is down right 2178 01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:22.359 now and maybe that was the cause of the time 2179 01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:27.880 of my video broadcast is a little bit behind. It 2180 01:46:27.960 --> 01:46:31.880 was a two yard scramble on third and six to 2181 01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:34.840 make it fourth and four. It looks like Khalil Shakir 2182 01:46:34.920 --> 01:46:38.000 is headed to the injury tent on the sideline. We 2183 01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:40.279 already knew he was dealing with that ankle injury. I'm 2184 01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:43.560 about to watch the Josh Allen play here to see 2185 01:46:43.560 --> 01:46:48.039 how serious this is and figure out if we can 2186 01:46:48.079 --> 01:46:50.920 glean anything. Just on first glance on this, he gets 2187 01:46:51.000 --> 01:46:54.520 hit from behind by and I don't know who that was, 2188 01:46:54.920 --> 01:46:58.000 but he's immediately writhing in pain. He is slamming his 2189 01:46:58.000 --> 01:47:01.520 feet down into the turf. He's not really holding anything, 2190 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:04.439 maybe shaking his right hand a little bit, holds his 2191 01:47:04.600 --> 01:47:08.319 left hand still pounding his feet into the turf. I 2192 01:47:08.359 --> 01:47:11.960 wonder if he knows, you know, something happened on this play. 2193 01:47:12.000 --> 01:47:14.399 I think that's why we've gone to a time out. 2194 01:47:15.279 --> 01:47:19.239 Shakira is getting checked for a concussion according to Tom Smith, 2195 01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:24.520 and the Bills have now punted. Uh, the Texans will 2196 01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.399 take over from their own thirty four. Just watching the 2197 01:47:26.399 --> 01:47:30.760 replay here, and he lands pretty hard on that right 2198 01:47:30.800 --> 01:47:35.439 forearm maybe right hand. He grimaces immediately. I can't see 2199 01:47:35.439 --> 01:47:40.199 who the guy was who hit him from Yeah, all right, 2200 01:47:40.239 --> 01:47:42.520 so Anderson, this is the IDP and you should have 2201 01:47:42.520 --> 01:47:46.000 answered that question about and before ask. 2202 01:47:45.880 --> 01:47:48.399 Me the two defensive players I know on the Texans. 2203 01:47:49.159 --> 01:47:52.359 Okay, there you go. So now he Alan walks off 2204 01:47:52.359 --> 01:47:54.960 the field under his own power, kind of flexing his 2205 01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:58.279 right hand a little bit. I think he's gonna be okay. 2206 01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:01.119 But I think they're taking him into the tent just 2207 01:48:01.159 --> 01:48:04.359 to make sure he doesn't look like he's in much 2208 01:48:04.399 --> 01:48:06.000 pain anymore. No, he's not even gonna go to the 2209 01:48:06.079 --> 01:48:08.920 injury tent. He's just taking a seat on the bench. Okay, 2210 01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:14.479 crisis haveverted people. I think everybody breathed. It doesn't look 2211 01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:16.359 like he's being looked at by trainers there. It looks 2212 01:48:16.359 --> 01:48:18.079 like they're talking to him, but they're not really looking 2213 01:48:18.119 --> 01:48:18.319 at it. 2214 01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:20.720 He just looks mad. Now he just looks angry. 2215 01:48:20.920 --> 01:48:22.279 He looks angry, which is good. 2216 01:48:22.960 --> 01:48:25.720 Angry Josh Allen, angry. 2217 01:48:25.399 --> 01:48:28.640 That they had to punt here, no doubt. Okay, getting 2218 01:48:28.680 --> 01:48:32.600 back to starter sits here. Kobe Myers, DJ Moore, Dj Moore. 2219 01:48:33.520 --> 01:48:35.560 I think it's been a player that we've been pretty 2220 01:48:35.560 --> 01:48:39.439 frustrated with. And honestly, the Colston Loveland breakout game against 2221 01:48:39.439 --> 01:48:43.079 the Bengals and Luther Burdens snaps going up certainly has 2222 01:48:43.119 --> 01:48:45.560 not helped Dj Moore at all. When you look at 2223 01:48:45.600 --> 01:48:47.960 these two players again, if you can only start one 2224 01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:51.159 of them, is it Dj Moore at home against Pittsburgh 2225 01:48:51.239 --> 01:48:54.560 this week Stacey or Jacoby Myers on the road against 2226 01:48:54.600 --> 01:48:55.800 the Arizona Cardinals. 2227 01:48:56.560 --> 01:48:59.199 I like Myers on the road just because they have 2228 01:48:59.279 --> 01:49:02.039 no options, right, I mean BT I don't want to 2229 01:49:02.039 --> 01:49:04.199 hear about BTJ. We don't know what's going on with him. 2230 01:49:04.199 --> 01:49:07.399 He's not reliable, right, You've got you've got some issues, right, 2231 01:49:07.560 --> 01:49:10.720 maybe some injuries here in the running game. So you know, 2232 01:49:10.720 --> 01:49:13.319 Breton Strange is still on the IR he's not come 2233 01:49:13.359 --> 01:49:16.760 back yet. So I like Myers, you know, because he's 2234 01:49:16.800 --> 01:49:19.439 been a really reliable target the last couple of games 2235 01:49:19.720 --> 01:49:22.439 his h He's gone nine or eight, yeah, eight eight 2236 01:49:22.479 --> 01:49:27.720 receptions on nine targets. You know, you look at Chicago, 2237 01:49:27.760 --> 01:49:30.960 there's just so many other weapons, There's so many other options. 2238 01:49:31.359 --> 01:49:34.159 Like you just mentioned. You know, Burden is kind of 2239 01:49:34.199 --> 01:49:36.600 coming on a little bit. His numbers are going up. 2240 01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:40.119 DJ Moore has just been really frustrating this year. You've 2241 01:49:40.119 --> 01:49:42.039 got level and kind of deciding to come on now 2242 01:49:42.039 --> 01:49:44.680 a little bit more too. So I I just tend 2243 01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:47.079 to think, if I've got to pick one of these guys, 2244 01:49:47.399 --> 01:49:49.319 I feel like Myers is going to have the better day, 2245 01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:53.239 you know, just that connection, that that veteran presence that 2246 01:49:53.279 --> 01:49:55.520 he kind of brings to that offense for Trevor Lawrence 2247 01:49:55.560 --> 01:49:58.399 to rely on as opposed to DJ Moore in a 2248 01:49:58.439 --> 01:50:01.319 situation where there's just too many male to feed to 2249 01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:02.680 make him fantasy relevant. 2250 01:50:03.000 --> 01:50:07.079 The Pittsburgh defense has probably been playing their best football 2251 01:50:07.319 --> 01:50:08.960 excuse me of the season over the course of the 2252 01:50:09.039 --> 01:50:11.159 last month as well, which I think is another thing 2253 01:50:11.239 --> 01:50:15.159 working against DJ Moore. Myers kind of finding his stride 2254 01:50:15.199 --> 01:50:19.279 in Jacksonville, Right, and I'm with you. Even if Thomas 2255 01:50:19.319 --> 01:50:22.079 is active, maybe he's more active as a decoy. And 2256 01:50:22.119 --> 01:50:24.560 that Donald Moore targets did Jacoby Myers. You know, the 2257 01:50:24.600 --> 01:50:27.720 great thing about him is he is this this high 2258 01:50:27.760 --> 01:50:30.760 floor type of player, so it certainly makes sense to 2259 01:50:31.319 --> 01:50:34.119 play him this week over more, speaking of the Bears, 2260 01:50:34.279 --> 01:50:37.840 Luther Burden or one Greg Dortch, who was the beneficiary 2261 01:50:37.960 --> 01:50:40.960 or one of the beneficiaries of a record setting performance 2262 01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:44.880 by Jacoby Brissett last week? Burden or George Burden against 2263 01:50:44.920 --> 01:50:48.439 the Steelers doors? This week? Who is playing against the 2264 01:50:48.840 --> 01:50:50.279 I just had it the Jacksonville Jen. 2265 01:50:50.319 --> 01:50:54.079 Wars, Oh, this is tough, right, because I mean George 2266 01:50:54.119 --> 01:50:56.039 had George had a pretty good game, right, you know 2267 01:50:56.079 --> 01:50:59.600 he went off for eighteen points. Look, is that likely 2268 01:50:59.640 --> 01:51:02.520 to have been every week? I don't. I mean, I'm 2269 01:51:02.520 --> 01:51:04.560 gonna I'm gonna do our second Matthew Berry quote for 2270 01:51:04.560 --> 01:51:06.000 the Night Right, You have to pick quote what is 2271 01:51:06.039 --> 01:51:08.920 most likely to happen? Right, what's the most likely thing? 2272 01:51:09.199 --> 01:51:10.479 You know it's happened? If is he going to go 2273 01:51:10.479 --> 01:51:12.800 off for eighteen twenty points? Again, No, he's not. Is 2274 01:51:12.880 --> 01:51:15.680 Jacoby Brissett gonna throw for one hundred times a game. Again, No, 2275 01:51:15.840 --> 01:51:18.760 he's probably not is he probably's probably gonna throw for 2276 01:51:18.840 --> 01:51:20.680 a lot, you know, just because he has been the 2277 01:51:20.760 --> 01:51:23.199 last few games. But I don't know that that necessarily 2278 01:51:23.239 --> 01:51:27.399 translates into higher points for Greg Georch I gotta I 2279 01:51:27.439 --> 01:51:29.319 think I'm gonna go with Burden. He's been coming on, 2280 01:51:29.439 --> 01:51:32.720 just more positive things going in his way the last 2281 01:51:32.720 --> 01:51:35.760 few games. Snap percentages increasing over the last two weeks. 2282 01:51:36.039 --> 01:51:38.039 You know, we talked about, you know, the rooky wide 2283 01:51:38.039 --> 01:51:40.079 receivers kind of coming on in that second half of 2284 01:51:40.079 --> 01:51:41.560 the game. I think that's really what you're seeing to 2285 01:51:41.560 --> 01:51:44.000 start happen from Burden. They're kind of putting him into 2286 01:51:44.079 --> 01:51:47.279 that wide receiver two role. They're behind a doomsday and 2287 01:51:47.560 --> 01:51:48.920 that's what I think is going to be. That the 2288 01:51:48.960 --> 01:51:52.079 future for the Bears going forward is those two guys Loveland. 2289 01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:54.800 You know you're going to see like these younger guys, 2290 01:51:54.840 --> 01:51:58.680 you know, Gelling with Williams. So, you know, not starting more, 2291 01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:01.119 but I feel more comfort starting Burden. I think this 2292 01:52:01.199 --> 01:52:03.119 week in that scenario. 2293 01:52:03.520 --> 01:52:07.640 Adam Schefter telling us on X that kir has been 2294 01:52:07.680 --> 01:52:11.000 cleared of concussion protocol and he can enter the game 2295 01:52:11.319 --> 01:52:13.319 when the Bills get the ball back here, which they 2296 01:52:13.399 --> 01:52:17.079 might hear shortly as after the punt, we have Nick 2297 01:52:17.159 --> 01:52:20.600 Chubb four yard run, a deep incompletion to Jaden Higgins, 2298 01:52:20.720 --> 01:52:24.079 and then another incompletion to Jayden and Higgins as well. 2299 01:52:24.119 --> 01:52:26.680 I think that's four targets for Higgins and he's only 2300 01:52:26.680 --> 01:52:28.279 caught one of them so far, which is not great. 2301 01:52:28.680 --> 01:52:33.920 Welling me, am, I not seeing any Nico Collins in 2302 01:52:33.960 --> 01:52:34.680 the box score. 2303 01:52:34.960 --> 01:52:37.439 No, I've seen nothing. Your eyes are not deceiving you. 2304 01:52:37.800 --> 01:52:40.680 I see nothing. I have seen nothing from Nico Collins yet. 2305 01:52:40.960 --> 01:52:42.960 I don't know if it's the way that they're covering him, 2306 01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:44.560 but I have not seen him on the broadcast. I 2307 01:52:44.560 --> 01:52:45.960 know he's active, I know he's playing. 2308 01:52:47.079 --> 01:52:47.760 I miss something. 2309 01:52:48.199 --> 01:52:52.159 Yeah, No, you've missed nothing. You've missed nothing other than 2310 01:52:52.239 --> 01:52:55.039 Jaden Higgins missing a lot of connections with Davis Mills 2311 01:52:55.119 --> 01:53:00.000 so far. Let's see here. There was something that was 2312 01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:02.760 gonna say, Oh, regarding Burden, doorch just to put a 2313 01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:07.680 bow on that conversation, Burden's the more pedigree guy. I 2314 01:53:07.760 --> 01:53:10.159 trust the Bears offense a little bit more, even though 2315 01:53:10.159 --> 01:53:13.199 they have been more run heavy. And when you talk 2316 01:53:13.279 --> 01:53:19.000 about players like this that are sort of like dart throws. 2317 01:53:19.279 --> 01:53:21.279 Give me the guy who has the higher ceiling, give 2318 01:53:21.319 --> 01:53:23.920 me the big play guy. That's not Greg Dortch's game. 2319 01:53:24.199 --> 01:53:27.279 That's Luther Burden's game. And Greg Dorsch six for sixty 2320 01:53:27.279 --> 01:53:30.000 six last week. If you're anti Satan, stay away from 2321 01:53:30.039 --> 01:53:33.319 George and go ahead and play with Yeah, bad vibes 2322 01:53:33.319 --> 01:53:37.520 for sure. Absolutely, Noah fant Mace, I beg your pardon 2323 01:53:37.840 --> 01:53:40.840 Harold Fannin or Juwan Johnson this week. Let's assume tight 2324 01:53:40.920 --> 01:53:44.039 end premium leagues for this as we look at the 2325 01:53:44.079 --> 01:53:47.840 tight end portion of the starter sit a segment of 2326 01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:51.720 our podcast tonight, Juwan Johnson is at home against the 2327 01:53:51.720 --> 01:53:54.319 Falcons Harold Fannin at Las Vegas. 2328 01:53:55.159 --> 01:53:57.439 Yeah, so this in this I'm gonna go with Johnson, 2329 01:53:57.479 --> 01:54:00.000 but this might change if Davini Joku ends up being 2330 01:54:00.239 --> 01:54:02.720 I know he's popped up on the injury report, So 2331 01:54:02.760 --> 01:54:04.479 if he ends up being out and it's just Fannin, 2332 01:54:05.439 --> 01:54:08.960 maybe we might change some things there. I just I 2333 01:54:09.000 --> 01:54:10.600 know we talked about this a little bit earlier too. 2334 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:13.119 With Sanders starting. I think Max Crosby has a good 2335 01:54:13.159 --> 01:54:16.319 day making Sander's life a little bit miserable. So I'm 2336 01:54:16.359 --> 01:54:18.479 just a little worried about him being able to get 2337 01:54:18.479 --> 01:54:20.479 the ball out to fan and enough. And I don't 2338 01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:21.920 really I don't know that I've seen enough of their 2339 01:54:21.920 --> 01:54:23.920 connection yet. I know he and Dylan Gabriel had a 2340 01:54:23.920 --> 01:54:26.520 really good connection. He really enjoyed throwing to the tight ends, 2341 01:54:26.520 --> 01:54:29.119 both him and Djoku. You know, it's not him this 2342 01:54:29.119 --> 01:54:30.840 week at Sanders, So I'm going to need to see 2343 01:54:30.880 --> 01:54:34.039 a little bit more before i feel comfortable starting Fannin. 2344 01:54:34.960 --> 01:54:37.239 You know, with Johnson, you know, Shihet is gone now, 2345 01:54:37.279 --> 01:54:39.880 so he steps into that second option there behind the lave. 2346 01:54:40.840 --> 01:54:42.279 You you know, you kind of like that. I think 2347 01:54:42.399 --> 01:54:44.800 volume in this situation is going to win it for me, 2348 01:54:45.800 --> 01:54:47.680 you know, just because you know they are going to 2349 01:54:47.680 --> 01:54:49.840 be throwing the ball, and you know, I think the 2350 01:54:49.880 --> 01:54:52.199 Falcons do still have a pretty decent defense even though 2351 01:54:52.199 --> 01:54:55.079 their offense is just completely tanked, you know, and they're 2352 01:54:55.079 --> 01:54:56.840 going to be focused on a Lave a lot, So 2353 01:54:56.840 --> 01:54:59.119 I think it kind of opens up more options for 2354 01:54:59.319 --> 01:54:59.960 Jawan Johnson. 2355 01:55:00.359 --> 01:55:02.880 Yeah, I think even In and Djoku did not practice 2356 01:55:02.920 --> 01:55:05.760 again today, he's definitely on the wrong side of questionable. 2357 01:55:06.479 --> 01:55:08.800 I think even if he if he doesn't play, I 2358 01:55:08.800 --> 01:55:12.039 still like Johnson better. Uh, you mentioned the Shaheed aspect 2359 01:55:12.079 --> 01:55:14.560 of this and then the unknown of Shader Sanders. I 2360 01:55:14.600 --> 01:55:17.520 feel a little bit more. I feel a little bit 2361 01:55:17.520 --> 01:55:20.359 better about starting Juwan Johnson than I do Harold Fanning 2362 01:55:20.399 --> 01:55:23.760 this week, even without David and Joku Driver ten thirty 2363 01:55:23.760 --> 01:55:28.399 six time on Twitch Kenneth Gainwell or Zach sharbon A PPR. 2364 01:55:28.720 --> 01:55:32.159 For me, it's gonna be sharbon Ay unless Warren doesn't play, 2365 01:55:32.720 --> 01:55:35.239 which it seems like he's trending to to play this week. 2366 01:55:35.439 --> 01:55:38.439 I'm gonna eat my charms, as JJ Zacherison would say, 2367 01:55:38.640 --> 01:55:40.880 and I'm gonna play Sharbone here this week. 2368 01:55:41.520 --> 01:55:44.159 Over onon Kenneth gain Well, Yeah, give me a glass 2369 01:55:44.159 --> 01:55:48.039 of sharbon A. I love it. If he hasn't invested 2370 01:55:48.119 --> 01:55:50.560 in a winery, he's using his money wrong. 2371 01:55:51.600 --> 01:55:53.239 This is this is something that should have been well. 2372 01:55:53.239 --> 01:55:55.680 I guess nil wasn't really in existence when he was 2373 01:55:55.680 --> 01:55:58.079 at UCLA, but yes, this should have been done already. 2374 01:55:58.199 --> 01:56:00.720 Come on, h yeah, I mean he's such a threat 2375 01:56:00.720 --> 01:56:03.039 to vulture. A touchdown from Walker to I mean that 2376 01:56:03.079 --> 01:56:04.359 was kind of something I put in my notes when 2377 01:56:04.359 --> 01:56:06.359 we were talking about Walker too that I didn't even 2378 01:56:06.520 --> 01:56:09.039 think to mention. But yeah, I mean he's he's always 2379 01:56:09.039 --> 01:56:10.600 that threat there to when they get in close to 2380 01:56:10.640 --> 01:56:13.039 snatch that touchdown away from Walker, So I like him 2381 01:56:13.039 --> 01:56:14.399 and Les Warren's out. 2382 01:56:14.760 --> 01:56:17.239 The next drive for the Bills has started and it 2383 01:56:17.359 --> 01:56:20.560 is not Mitch Trubisky under center. It is Josh Allen. 2384 01:56:20.840 --> 01:56:23.159 He is back in the game to hand off the 2385 01:56:23.159 --> 01:56:25.680 ball to James Cook for a yard. He hits Gabe 2386 01:56:25.760 --> 01:56:29.359 Davis Stacy for a twenty two yard gain on second down, 2387 01:56:29.640 --> 01:56:32.399 and then it's a James Cook six yard gain to 2388 01:56:32.680 --> 01:56:35.079 end the first quarter. They are both ready to start 2389 01:56:35.119 --> 01:56:39.159 the second quarter here in the next few minutes in Houston, 2390 01:56:39.199 --> 01:56:42.640 with the Bills holding a six to three lead. The 2391 01:56:42.720 --> 01:56:45.000 last well, let's let's go through the last few here 2392 01:56:45.079 --> 01:56:46.520 rapid fire, just to make sure I get all this 2393 01:56:46.560 --> 01:56:50.760 stuffe Taysom Hill or Luke Musgrave. I am going Musgrave here. 2394 01:56:52.359 --> 01:56:55.760 So I originally had said Taysom Hill, but now that 2395 01:56:55.840 --> 01:56:57.840 you had brought up all the talk about, you know, 2396 01:56:57.840 --> 01:57:01.479 getting Musgrave more involved, I'm going to go musk Grave here. 2397 01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:03.600 I didn't want to take Taysom Hill. I was trying 2398 01:57:03.640 --> 01:57:06.119 to force myself into that argument. So let's go musk Grave. 2399 01:57:06.359 --> 01:57:09.600 All right, so you're saying Musgrave, I am saying Jared 2400 01:57:09.680 --> 01:57:13.880 Goff over brock Perty this week because and I think 2401 01:57:13.880 --> 01:57:16.920 the Jared Goff fantasy analysis is pretty cut and dry. 2402 01:57:17.239 --> 01:57:18.960 If he's playing in a dome, you play him. If 2403 01:57:18.960 --> 01:57:21.119 he's not, you don't. And he's playing in the dome 2404 01:57:21.159 --> 01:57:23.239 this week. Aainst the Giants, I'm playing golf over Perty. 2405 01:57:23.640 --> 01:57:25.800 Absolutely, he's way better at home than he is on 2406 01:57:25.840 --> 01:57:27.239 the road, and they're going to be a pissed off 2407 01:57:27.239 --> 01:57:29.960 Lions team coming off that loss. So I'm all about 2408 01:57:30.039 --> 01:57:30.920 Jared Goff this week. 2409 01:57:31.279 --> 01:57:34.279 This next one might be controversial, Stacey. I'm playing Sam 2410 01:57:34.359 --> 01:57:37.319 Donald at Tennessee, coming off a game where I believe 2411 01:57:37.520 --> 01:57:40.760 he threw seventeen interceptions that game. I'm going to play 2412 01:57:40.840 --> 01:57:44.319 him this week in Tennessee over Baker Mayfield, who is 2413 01:57:44.359 --> 01:57:48.199 in Los Angeles against his old team. I just don't 2414 01:57:48.199 --> 01:57:52.600 trust Mayfield in that matchup against a really tough defense, 2415 01:57:52.800 --> 01:57:55.520 Whereas I think Donald can just throw all over the 2416 01:57:55.560 --> 01:57:58.159 place against Tennessee pretty safely on Sunday. 2417 01:57:58.920 --> 01:58:00.880 I feel like that's I feel like that has to 2418 01:58:00.920 --> 01:58:02.920 be the right answer. But I just can't help myself 2419 01:58:02.960 --> 01:58:05.439 from taking Baker here so I just think I think 2420 01:58:05.439 --> 01:58:07.520 it's got such good shootout potential. It's one of the 2421 01:58:07.560 --> 01:58:09.319 higher over unders of the day at forty nine and 2422 01:58:09.359 --> 01:58:11.520 a half. I think the Bucks probably end up losing 2423 01:58:11.560 --> 01:58:13.239 that game, but I just feel like it's going to 2424 01:58:13.279 --> 01:58:16.520 be such a shootout. Baker's He's throwing a ton over 2425 01:58:16.520 --> 01:58:18.560 the last two weeks. He's throwing about thirty five and 2426 01:58:18.560 --> 01:58:21.680 a half times per game, So I like that. And 2427 01:58:22.239 --> 01:58:24.520 I think Sam Darnold's the last couple of games, I 2428 01:58:24.520 --> 01:58:25.880 don't know what's going on with him. It's like he's 2429 01:58:25.920 --> 01:58:28.319 trying to be the second coming up. What was it 2430 01:58:28.439 --> 01:58:30.840 Nathan Peterman who threw for so many interceptions? 2431 01:58:31.079 --> 01:58:35.880 Yes, goodness, last one. We'll do here tonight our beloved 2432 01:58:35.920 --> 01:58:39.960 Jordan Love against the Vikings at home, or Trevor Lawrence, 2433 01:58:40.159 --> 01:58:43.000 who is at Arizona. I haven't made up my mind 2434 01:58:43.039 --> 01:58:45.239 on how I think this game is going to go. 2435 01:58:45.279 --> 01:58:48.000 I'm leaning right now towards a knockdown, slug it out 2436 01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:50.920 game between the Packers and Vikings, so I'm going to 2437 01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:53.039 go with Lawrence. I think there's more scoring in that game, 2438 01:58:53.079 --> 01:58:54.840 which is why I would bench Jordan Love in favor 2439 01:58:54.840 --> 01:58:55.960 of Trevor Lawrence this week. 2440 01:58:57.000 --> 01:58:59.199 I can't. I can't say no to Jordan Love, Balky. 2441 01:58:59.239 --> 01:59:01.079 I'm going to take Jorian Love. I think these two 2442 01:59:01.079 --> 01:59:03.840 are literally like neck and neck with fantasy points. That 2443 01:59:03.840 --> 01:59:05.760 would be a better joke if it was Davis Mills, 2444 01:59:06.560 --> 01:59:09.479 but you know, fantasy points are really close. Sixteen point 2445 01:59:09.520 --> 01:59:12.600 eight per game with Love, sixteen point six with Trevor Lawrence. 2446 01:59:12.960 --> 01:59:16.119 Passer ratings completely different. Love has the eighth overall highest 2447 01:59:16.119 --> 01:59:19.640 passer rating MUNK Qualified Quarterbacks Treylor Lawrence at seventy nine 2448 01:59:19.640 --> 01:59:22.439 point four, which is terrible. I just don't like the 2449 01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:24.720 East Coast team going over to the West Coast. I 2450 01:59:24.800 --> 01:59:26.680 like a divisional matchup a little bit better. And I 2451 01:59:26.720 --> 01:59:28.039 got to be a homer here. I'm going to take 2452 01:59:28.039 --> 01:59:28.520 your own Love. 2453 01:59:29.720 --> 01:59:32.840 I get it, and it makes sense, and quite frankly, 2454 01:59:32.840 --> 01:59:34.600 if this blows up in my face, at least I'll 2455 01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:38.640 be happy as a fan once again. Hit us up, Stacy, 2456 01:59:38.680 --> 01:59:43.399 you are doing stuff for Dynasty, Djens player profiler and 2457 01:59:43.439 --> 01:59:47.399 Fantasy and frames.
