1
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:20,399
Speaker 1: Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got

2
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:27,399
trade proposals for lying my way. My first round pig

3
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:33,200
turned out to be a big flop. I don't know

4
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:42,039
which wide receiver I need to drive. Doctor roto give

5
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,079
me the news. I really don't know what I should do.

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,280
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad case

7
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,600
of fair deceive blues.

8
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,799
Speaker 2: With it is the fastest thirty minutes and major markets

9
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,159
for Tridio are good. Friend, the one the only tut

10
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,239
troto on Sports Talk seven, I d R Howard, Thanks,

11
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,799
my friend.

12
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: MT had a good week. Well, it was a weird

13
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,640
game last night. I thought that I don't know. I

14
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:19,040
thought the Bills Bills receivers are tough because there's so

15
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,200
many guys there, and there were names I'd never heard

16
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,079
of before. Yeah, never a good sign. If I don't

17
00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:25,599
know your name, that's not a good thing. So it's

18
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:28,400
Bills are hard for fantasy because we love Josh Allen,

19
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:30,920
we love James Cook, and then it's like a cast

20
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,120
of guys that we wish we knew more of.

21
00:01:33,599 --> 00:01:36,879
Speaker 2: I understand, and uh, are we going to start banding? Well,

22
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,120
we'll talk about bandoning Miami when they play next. But

23
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,959
Buffalo obviously clearly is an excellent football team and has

24
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280
plenty of receivers to go to and put together late stretch.

25
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:48,400
Let's get to the injuries. The word mister Daniels is

26
00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:51,680
not going to play for Washington this week. How does

27
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:54,840
that affect the Commanders offishally?

28
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: It affects the Commanders. But Mariot is not terrible. It's

29
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,560
been in the league for a while. Knows how to

30
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,879
run this offense. He ran it last year when Daniel

31
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,280
smissed some time. If there was ever a game to miss,

32
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:06,640
I mean playing the Raiders not probably the worst case

33
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,639
scenario there, Diebo Samuel get some shots. I don't really

34
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,800
love Terry mcclaurin this week. I don't think that works

35
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,360
out well. But if you got this kid Crosskey Merritt,

36
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:15,960
this would be the week to start him. I can't

37
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,919
imagine that he doesn't get twenty carriers.

38
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: All right, And then we got Cincinnati with a new

39
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:24,520
quarterback as well, And this goes to part of the

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,400
Houston Tarros, who are off to a two and oh start.

41
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,479
Doctor Rode, thank you for your sound advice. As always,

42
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,719
mister Higgins. T. Higgins has let me down. The last

43
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,039
couple of weeks kind of a slow start. How are

44
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,639
we anticipating the position the skill position players for the

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,639
Bengals with the new QB.

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't love t Higgins this week either. I

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,759
do like Jake Browning. Okay, Jake Browning is imagine Jamis Winston,

48
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,120
guy who's going to throw for maybe two hundred and

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,000
fifty to three hundred yards, going to throw for one

50
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:51,639
to two touchdowns, and he's going to throw two to

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,280
three interceptions. He's going to make bad plays, but he's

52
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:57,919
not afraid to throw the ball right. He's not afraid

53
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,120
to make a play. And I think when backup quarterbacks

54
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:03,360
get in there, you're like, oh, maybe it's going to

55
00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:05,599
hurt my skill players. I don't think it hurts the

56
00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:08,479
skilled players a ton. I think Chase brown gets actually

57
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,199
more passes out of the backfield Jamar Chase is never

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,639
going to lose opportunities. The reason I don't love T

59
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,840
Higgins this week is who they're playing, Minnesota. Minnesota is

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,599
going to do ball control because Carson Wentz is their quarterback.

61
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,719
You're going to see a lot of Jordan Mason. So

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800
I'm a little scared off about t Higgins this week,

63
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,879
but not in general.

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: All right, well that answered my question, Thank you very

65
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:31,199
much for that. Let's get to Aaron Rodgers through two weeks.

66
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,599
So we noticed that the significant difference between games one

67
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:35,240
and two because in that week one game he threw

68
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,199
for four touchdowns.

69
00:03:37,479 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, but look, Rodgers is going to do

70
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,759
exactly what he does. I think the surprise has been

71
00:03:41,759 --> 00:03:45,080
the Steelers defense. They've been horrific. The Jets look great,

72
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Sam Darnold and the Seahawks look great. So the question

73
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520
is now, is he going to make Drake may look great?

74
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:54,879
The better the opposing team plays offensively, the more Aaron

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,479
Rodgers has to do. I think Jalen Warren is going

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,439
to get even more involved. Rodgers realizes how good he

77
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400
is out of the backfield catching passes, and DK Metcalf

78
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,080
is always a good start. I mean, Rogers goes to

79
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:09,039
his top guy, and DK Metcalf is his top guy.

80
00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if a lot of folks had the

81
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,560
Cleveland Browns littered up throughout their fantasy rosters, but the

82
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,319
expectations were minimal, especially with Joe Flacco starting. They've got

83
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:20,120
green Bay coming in a lot of folks think this

84
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,279
could be a huge blowout. How do you see this

85
00:04:22,959 --> 00:04:25,319
and how are you concerned if you are if things

86
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:26,759
get out of hand in that Packer game.

87
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: So look, the Browns run defense has been surprisingly solid.

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,160
Josh Jacobs, though, seems to score a touchdown every week,

89
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:36,279
So I like Jacobs to get like sixty yards in

90
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,319
a touchdown. I think where it explodes as Jordan Love.

91
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,279
Jordan Love is gonna have a pretty good week if

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,160
the Packers are going to win, which I fully expect

93
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,720
that they will, and Vegas has them scoring about twenty

94
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,480
four points. So if we give one touchdown to Jacob's,

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,720
that's two to Jordan Love. Now is it Romeo Dobbs?

96
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:55,279
It could be as a Dantevion Wicks very well could

97
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,519
be because they play a lot of Cleveland plays a

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,560
ton of man coverage, and Wicks does very well against

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,959
man covered. So if there's a sneaky guy to catch

100
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:05,959
a touchdown this week, it should be Dontavian Wicks. On

101
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560
the other side, Quinn Shawn Judkins is going to ramp

102
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,399
up his opportunities. He's a very good player. Look, Joe

103
00:05:13,399 --> 00:05:16,480
Flacco is a placeholder in the next couple of years

104
00:05:16,519 --> 00:05:19,839
have really strong drafts for quarterbacks. I'm sure Cleveland will

105
00:05:19,879 --> 00:05:21,839
have one of those guys, but this year they don't.

106
00:05:22,079 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to Indianapolis two and allo on

107
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:27,800
this season, Frank, there should be one in one. Because

108
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,560
of the launching penalty that was called against Denver. I

109
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,720
have not watched a lot of Daniel Jones. I'm watching

110
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:37,639
red zone, but the low that I see it's pretty good.

111
00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:41,560
Stunned are you? And if so, can you do it

112
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240
for a thurstat week against a very subpar Tennessee team?

113
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 3: I think he can. You look, Brian Dable never wanted them,

114
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,920
didn't want any part of him. Now he goes to

115
00:05:49,959 --> 00:05:53,680
Indianapolis with Shane Steiken, who has worked with mobile quarterbacks

116
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,040
before like Jalen Hurts, and he's with a team that

117
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,639
actually wants him to be there if they have good

118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,319
skilled players. Michael Pittman is good, Josh Downs is good,

119
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,240
Tyler Warren is terrific, Jonathan Taylor is great. So Jones

120
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,439
has more than he had in New York. So, plus

121
00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:11,600
he's in a division that's much easier now. Denver that

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,000
was a lucky win. Like you said, that leverage penalty

123
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,800
was crazy, but playing Tennessee. Tennessee's just not a very

124
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,279
good team. I think cam Morder is doing his best,

125
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:22,480
but the Colts are better now. I think this game

126
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,439
is going to be close. I do. I think Tony

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,439
Pollard will play well. I think Calvin Ridley will play well.

128
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:30,680
But look, I think this is the Colts game to win.

129
00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,000
I think Daniel Jones gets about two hundred and twenty

130
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:36,040
yards passing, maybe one passing touchdown, but he's always a

131
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:38,720
threat to run. He could have forty yards in a touchdown.

132
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:41,199
He does that, you're looking at like a twenty eight

133
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:42,199
point game from him.

134
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,319
Speaker 2: All Right, we saw the Buccaneers on Monday night firsthand.

135
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:47,720
They can run the football. I mean they absolutely can.

136
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,959
And Baker Mayfield can make the throws and he can

137
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,800
actually run occasionally grab first downs. Maybe it was poorest

138
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,439
tackling from the Texans. Buccaneers are home for an zero

139
00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,000
to two Jets team. Have we not spent enough time

140
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,000
I'm prioritizing all the different key position players for the

141
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,199
Buccaneers so far this year.

142
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:11,279
Speaker 3: Maybe so, but the Buccaneers have tremendous offensive line issues. Okay,

143
00:07:11,519 --> 00:07:14,879
Tristan works is out, Cody Mack was placed in the

144
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,560
ir another guy Luka Gottacky, he's out too, So this

145
00:07:19,639 --> 00:07:23,240
is a make shift offensive line. The crazy thing is

146
00:07:23,279 --> 00:07:25,839
that Baker Mayfield, like you said, is it just makes plays.

147
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Now what's even crazy here is that Vegas still thinks

148
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,759
the Buccaneer is going to put up twenty five points

149
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,160
even without three offensive linemen. So what does that tell you?

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,240
I think it tells you they believe in Bucky Irving,

151
00:07:37,279 --> 00:07:39,480
which I do too. And look, we have not seen

152
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,000
the Mike Evans siding. We will see the Mike Evan

153
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,519
siding this week. I think he finally scores a touchdown.

154
00:07:44,959 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: Chargers two to zero, probably going to face their best

155
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,959
defense of the year at home against Denver. Can they

156
00:07:48,959 --> 00:07:50,399
make it a third trat week of putting up some

157
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:50,920
big points.

158
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:53,879
Speaker 3: I think they can. You know the way they play,

159
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,800
They're just a very well coached team. They call the

160
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:00,600
right plays at the right time. Justin Herbert is very athletic,

161
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:02,800
way more athletic than people give him credit for. Is

162
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,680
a guy who can run for thirty forty yards in

163
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,680
a game that their receivers Quinton Johnson is actually holding

164
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,680
on to the football. I mean, look at what happens

165
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
when a guy doesn't drop the ball. Right now, they

166
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,879
have Keenan Allen. I love Keenan Allen this week. If

167
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,839
there was ever a week to play him, this is it.

168
00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:21,600
The Denver is open to slot receivers right there, A

169
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,439
little suspect against slot receivers. So I don't really like

170
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,680
Quenton Johnson or Lad McCaughey this week. I really want

171
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,160
to see Omar and Hampton. This guy hasn't done enough

172
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,840
yet for a first round pick. We expect more.

173
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to the Texans and Jaguars. Jaggs

174
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,919
should have beat the Bengals last week. You forced three

175
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,159
turnovers and not win the game at silly. As far

176
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,960
as the Texans are concerned, we saw Nico Collins reach

177
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,960
the end zone very early in the game against the

178
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,759
Bucks on Monday, but was really silent after that. Are

179
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:53,399
you getting nervous at all about the receiving corps, especially

180
00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:58,240
Nico and CJ's overall performances as he as the Texans

181
00:08:58,279 --> 00:08:59,440
go to Jacksonville this week?

182
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point about Jacksonville. Diami Brown catches that ball

183
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,799
last week in the end zone. I think there's a

184
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,960
different outcome to that game. I think Jacksonville wins. The

185
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,240
Texans have played really well on defense. But Stroud, who's

186
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,440
so good two years ago, so good that I think

187
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:19,039
our expectations of him were to only get better and better.

188
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:21,919
But maybe that wasn't the real CJ. Stroud. Maybe he's

189
00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,240
just a solid, decent quarterback but not a star in

190
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,480
this league. But you said it. The best, Okay, wide

191
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,000
receivers are young. Nico Collins is a stud. Kirk hasn't

192
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,279
been healthy, hopefully he's back this week. Higgins is a rookie.

193
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,120
Nole's a rookie. Schultz's is okay, but he's limited, and

194
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,720
they don't have a real running game. Nick Chubb doesn't

195
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,000
look very fast to me. I mean, he's breaking some tackles,

196
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,600
but he's not fast. I want to see more woody marks.

197
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:50,159
I think the more woody marks we see maybe the better,

198
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,559
because it's another person that a linebacker has to cover.

199
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,000
Otherwise they're sitting in. I'm double covering Nico Collins. If

200
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:59,559
you're the opposing defense, why wouldn't you do that? So

201
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,320
do I think ay be Jacksonville? I do. I think

202
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,200
Trevor Lawrence is going to be in for a tough

203
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,600
week because the Texans pass defense is very good and Lawrence,

204
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:11,039
as we see, just those high, hard to catch football

205
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,360
and you're not going to win in the league if

206
00:10:12,399 --> 00:10:12,759
you do that.

207
00:10:12,879 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: All right, Time now for Ross Villarrial's weekly question to

208
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:16,879
doctor Rono.

209
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 4: Yes, you mentioned to Jake Browning earlier. Just your thoughts

210
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,639
overall on some of the backup quarterbacks because a lot

211
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,360
of people have some guys injured. As far as Waiver

212
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,759
Wires is maybe not the top build quarterback name that

213
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:31,399
you think can perform this weekend.

214
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: All right, So in terms of backup quarterbacks, I'm a

215
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,440
big fan of Browning. I am Marcus Mariota is one

216
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,200
of those safe guys. I don't expect much. Same thing

217
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,519
with Tyrod Taylor, right, Tyrod Taylor has been around this

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,279
league forever. Are you winning with any of those guys?

219
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,600
You're probably not. Carson Wentz is interesting because we know

220
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:51,559
that Kevin O'Connell always makes his quarterbacks better. I think

221
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,679
we haven't seen anything from TJ. Hockinson, and I think

222
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,480
we might this week, So that's a good pickup. I've

223
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,720
got to believe that Daniel Jones is still out there

224
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,360
in some leagues. Maybe people should be picking him up.

225
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:08,159
I would say Daniel Jones one, Browning two, maybe Michael Pennix.

226
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,720
Also this week against Carolina. It's a pretty good matchup,

227
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:11,200
all right.

228
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: We got questions for doctor Roto. You call in right

229
00:11:14,039 --> 00:11:16,080
now and get him in seven one three two one

230
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,000
two five seven nineties
