I hope I can 17 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.760 live up to that intro you just gave me. But 18 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.680 it's crazy. We're already on the week four. It feels 19 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.359 like it's flying by. So excited to be on here again. 20 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.640 I was listening to you and Adam Levitan and oh 21 00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.760 God helped me out who else was on that show. 22 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.079 I'm the latest established around the podcast, and I think exactly, yes, 23 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.599 thank you. And you said the same thing about you know, 24 00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:30.560 it's already on the week four, and it got me thinking, 25 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.319 I'm like, God, you know, we spend all off season 26 00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.560 just pining and waiting, and finally at the season's here, 27 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.760 and and if it feels like it just started and 28 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.359 we're already a month in. It's the longest off season 29 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:44.680 in professional sports, which I guess could be a good 30 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.760 thing for the NFL, but it's also a bad thing too. 31 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.640 And and you think about how your takes and how 32 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.599 your stances and how your flag plants have gone, you know, 33 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.680 over the course of drafting season, and how they can shift, 34 00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.159 you know. I I think the thing that we need 35 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.239 to understand here in in being fantasy analysts, not that 36 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.280 I'm one, I'm just I just I'm just a host. 37 00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.520 But the thing that we need to understand is we 38 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:14.719 could spend all summer researching and doing all this stuff, 39 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.360 but when we get this fresh information, and now four 40 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.599 weeks of fresh information, Jack, I'm sure you've pivoted and 41 00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:22.919 you've moved off of some of your takes in July 42 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.039 and August because you have to, because it's a smart 43 00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:25.599 thing to do. 44 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:26.840 For sure. 45 00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.360 Yeah, I think we get all this information, or we 46 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.280 think we get all this information throughout June, July, August, 47 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.879 preseason training camp, all that, but you don't. The cards 48 00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:37.800 aren't really on the table until week one, and that's 49 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.479 when we see what coaches and teams actually want to 50 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.719 do and how they want to use and deploy their players. 51 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.360 I mean, like Travis Hunter is probably the biggest example. 52 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.400 I feel like all offseason we heard about how he's 53 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.520 gonna play eighty percent of snaps on offense, he's barely 54 00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:53.479 gonna play defense, And here we are three weeks in 55 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.319 and he's playing more defensively than offensively. So I don't 56 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.199 I think you don't want to overreact to stuff like that, 57 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:01.680 but I do think that it's it's important to adjust 58 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:03.240 your prize as you get into information. 59 00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:08.719 The Hunter thing is it stinks because well, it doesn't 60 00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.360 stink because Jack, This wouldn't surprise me at all. In fact, 61 00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:13.400 I think it might still be the most likely outcome 62 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:18.800 with Hunter is you know, I he ends up being 63 00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:21.759 like a typical rookie receiver where he doesn't offer a 64 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.120 whole lot in September and October. But once we get 65 00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.400 into the you know, November Thanksgiving fantasy playoffs, all of 66 00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:29.360 a sudden, this you know, things could just click for 67 00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:32.360 this guy. And he's got this uber athleticism and all 68 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.960 of a sudden he's looking like a potential league winner, 69 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.680 which is why I'm not selling on him in redraft 70 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.520 leagues right now. I'm holding on to him because I 71 00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:41.520 think the best is yet well, the best better be 72 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.639 yet to come with Hunter, because I haven't seen a 73 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.080 whole lot of it, but that's my stance on it. 74 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.560 But right now, you're right. I mean, it's just, you know, 75 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.240 as much as we were excited to see Travis Hunter 76 00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.039 and and and you know catching balls from Lawrence sort 77 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.919 of that whole Jacksonville passing offense. God, we could do 78 00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:58.960 two hours on that. With with what a train wreck 79 00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.319 that's been so far this year. We will get into 80 00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.039 part of it later on on the show tonight. We 81 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:06.520 will go around the NFL. In the first segment tonight, 82 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:08.599 Jack and I will we'll be talking about the Kansas 83 00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.120 City pass catchers, especially with the news on Xavier Worthy. 84 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.960 Some injuries that we need to get into. Ceedee Lamb replacements. Obviously, 85 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:17.759 we want to figure out what Jack thinks about Amar 86 00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.519 and Hampton now that Naji Harris is out for the year, 87 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.800 and what are we doing with Cam Scataboo with Tyrone 88 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.279 Tracy expected to miss a few weeks. That's the first 89 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.079 segment Tonight. We'll get into our Thursday night football preview 90 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.360 Seahawks and Cardinals on Prime Video tonight. Zach Charbonae breaking 91 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.160 news he is active tonight to maybe no one's surprised, 92 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.639 but how does that affect Kenneth Walker. We'll get into that. 93 00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.000 Trey Benson is he a bellcow? I know Jack has 94 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.120 some thoughts on this, and we'll get into that as 95 00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:45.879 well in the second segment. Final segment, we'll do Starters 96 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.120 six tonight. A lot of polarizing players here. We'll get 97 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:52.079 into Isaiah Pacheco, Wandelle Robinson, Dallas Goddard, Gino Smith and 98 00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.160 of course Bo Nicks as well. Want to remind everybody 99 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.639 if you are looking for some weekly action with the FFPC, 100 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.519 the FFPC Week four Weekly Challenge is live.

My FFPC dot com is 109 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.000 ready to go for that.

Let's get into 112 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.000 a jack. The first thing I want to lead off 113 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:39.000 with tonight Jacory krossky Merritt. He missed Wednesday's practice. I 114 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:41.079 do believe, and have to look this up right now. 115 00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.879 I do believe he missed practice again today for the Commanders, 116 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.120 which is not great when you consider that this is 117 00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:50.360 a player that a lot of people were excited about. 118 00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.839 A lot of people were planning on flexing him out 119 00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:56.680 this week and they can't flex him out if he's inactive. 120 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:58.720 I want to get your thoughts on a guy who 121 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:01.839 is not practiced too games. This are two days this week, 122 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.079 and then if he is inactive against the Falcons this week. Jack, 123 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.720 Are you team Jeremy McNichols, Are you team Chris Rodriguez? 124 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.959 Or are you team? Don't start any Commanders running backs 125 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:13.439 in Week four. 126 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.040 I think if jacm misses I I would prefer not 127 00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.040 to start either of them. But if I had to choose, 128 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:23.279 it would be Chris Rodriguez. I think he'd be a 129 00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:26.560 heavy favorite to inherit most of the rushing work. Jeremy 130 00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.199 Jeremy McNichols seems like he's more in the Austin Eckler role. 131 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.680 If Jacorey krossky Merit does play, I mean, it might 132 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.600 be even worse just for all of them, just because 133 00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.399 then you have McNichols still in the Eckler pass catching role, 134 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.759 and you've got Chris Rodriguez and JCM splitting the carriers. 135 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.360 We saw last week Chris Rodriguez came after being a 136 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.800 healthy scratch the first two weeks, and he out carried 137 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.360 Bill akrossky Merit eleven to eight, just out of the blue, 138 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.439 after there was hype going into week three about the 139 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.560 Commanders expanding Jacory krossky Merit's roll. Cliff Kingsbury has said 140 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.639 some stuff along the lines if he needs to be 141 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:04.800 better without the ball. We like what he can do 142 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:06.439 with the ball in his hands, but the pass pro, 143 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.199 the route running, all the stuff that the rookie running 144 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.279 backs sometimes don't have right off the bat, he needs 145 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.279 to improve. So I think Jacorey Krosky Merritt is a 146 00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.199 pretty good example of a rookie we can expect to 147 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.680 grow into a large role throughout the season, but I 148 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.800 think in the short term he's pretty tough to trust 149 00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.800 with Washington using a three man backfield. 150 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.720 Do you think he's the type of player that, you 151 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.800 know what I just brought up with with Travis Hunter, 152 00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.639 where the game slows down, stuff clicks for him in 153 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.040 the second half of the season, where and I know, 154 00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:39.000 like the other thing too is like Hunter if he 155 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.800 ends up turning it on. You know, he's fighting with 156 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.360 guys like Diami Brown. He's fighting with guys like you know, 157 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.560 Parker Washington or what have you, a guy that players 158 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.000 that do not have his talent level Krosskey Merritt. I 159 00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.920 don't know if you could make the same case because 160 00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:56.639 he was a seventh round pick with McNichols and Rodriguez, 161 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:00.639 I can't remember. It might have been unestablished. It might 162 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.279 have been Levitan who actually said this. I could be 163 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.160 wrong about If Krossky Merrick can't fight off these guys 164 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.000 by like November, then maybe he's just not very good. 165 00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:11.680 Yeah, I think that's a good way to look at it. 166 00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.319 I do think that he's a pretty prime candidate to 167 00:08:14.480 --> 00:08:16.560 expand his role as the season goes on, just because 168 00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.600 we already know who Jeremy McNichols is at this stage 169 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.839 of his career. He's he's nothing specially as a fine 170 00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.480 pass protector, a fine pass catcher, but he's nothing no 171 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:29.319 one that should prevent a talented rookie running back from 172 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.959 taking on a larger role. Now, the question is, like 173 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.480 you said, is jcm that kind that level of talent 174 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:37.840 where he can push McNichols to the side. And then 175 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.919 with Chris Rodriguez, I mean we've kind of already seen 176 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:42.000 what Washington thinks of him. They made him a healthy 177 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.600 scratch weeks one and two. It's pretty clear to me 178 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.679 that they don't see him as their long term answer 179 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.519 at running back. But again, it's it's kind of just 180 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.240 the question of is Jacry Kraskimeric good enough? Can he 181 00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.320 win the coaches trust? Fast enough to really push those 182 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.559 guys to decide and earn the three down every one 183 00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.519 role that I think fantasy managers all want. 184 00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.879 I want to move on to Isaiah Likely here, a 185 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.320 player that many people in the FFPC drafted late and 186 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.240 have rostered since then. I think in non tight end 187 00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.440 premium leagues, you still might be able to pick this 188 00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:18.480 guy up, but maybe not. It's tough to say. He 189 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:23.440 was limited and yesterday's walk through practice for the Ravens 190 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.080 dealing with the foot injury. Obviously, he's still not gotten 191 00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:29.600 into a game this season. Limited practice for him prior 192 00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.039 to the Lions game on Monday Night Football last week, 193 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.399 and he's limited on the first injury report of the week. 194 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.440 Here he is I don't know. I hesitate to say 195 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:42.840 this on a Thursday afternoon, Thursday evening. He's probably going 196 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.720 to play in Week four, but god, I don't know 197 00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:48.759 if he is active. It's going to be interesting for 198 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.720 people who have not only Likely Jack, but Mark Andrews 199 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.039 as well, who came back from the dead. In one 200 00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.120 of my local fantasy football show. He was my bust 201 00:09:57.120 --> 00:09:59.159 of the week for Week three and he has his 202 00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:02.840 best you know performance since Obama was president. Essentially, it 203 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.960 was insane what he did on Monday Night football. And 204 00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:10.240 you look at Likely, who's a super talented guy, a 205 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.720 player that his own coach said his expectation is for 206 00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:15.600 Likely to be an All Pro this season, which is 207 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.759 tough to do. Not a Pro bowler and all Pro. 208 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:21.879 If you're looking at what to do at tight end 209 00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.559 with the Ravens comes Sunday this week against Kansas City, 210 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.840 if Likely is active, would you feel okay about flexing 211 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.919 either of these players? Again, an FFPC tight end premium leagues, 212 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.440 would you feel okay about flexing either of these players? 213 00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.720 Or are you really really rolling the dice if you 214 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.600 want to insert either one of these guys into your 215 00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:41.799 starting lineup in Week four? 216 00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.639 I think it's much more of a dice roll on Likely, 217 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:48.000 who I still like long term. I liked him a 218 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.159 lot more last week when it looked like Mark Andrews 219 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.840 was kind of dusted on his Week three performance, I 220 00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.960 was kind of in a similar boat. 221 00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:56.159 I really was not expecting that. 222 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.200 I thought maybe it was it was basically over for 223 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.960 Andrews and it was going to be Likely's role when 224 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:05.279 whenever he got back. I do think it's really tough 225 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.759 to start a guy like Likely in his first game 226 00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:10.519 back he missed. He's missed two months at this point. 227 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.440 I think that's too significant of time for you to 228 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.480 immediately thrust them in your starting lineup. Andrews I expect 229 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.159 to be the tight end one this week, even if 230 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.480 Likely is active, and I do think he'll be active. 231 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:23.759 I kind of thought he'd be active for last week, 232 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.879 to be honest, but I do think long term, I 233 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.240 would prefer like the upside of Likely over someone like Andrews. 234 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.120 Do you believe? I mean, like, how much did you 235 00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.720 change your mind about Andrews after what you saw on 236 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.360 Monday night? A little somewhat, not not at all? How 237 00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:45.840 do you feel about like, what what is your outlook 238 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.320 on Mark? You just said you know you prefer Likely, obviously, 239 00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.240 but has your outlook changed on the dustiness of Mark 240 00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.320 Andrews after Monday night football? 241 00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:56.600 Honestly it has. I just didn't think he still had 242 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.399 that kind of ceiling left uh in the chamber at 243 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.080 his age, and it is kind of interesting. We saw 244 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.840 him start slow last year too, although that was kind 245 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.159 of more explainable after he had an offseason car crash. 246 00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.559 But again, us let's start this offseason or this season, 247 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.039 and then he kind of gets into the groove in 248 00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.960 Week three. So it did change my opinion just seeing 249 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.960 him flash that ceiling that we've seen before from Mark Andrews. 250 00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:23.759 You know, we got a little bit of breaking news 251 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.360 here regarding a stud wide receiver. I'm gonna get to 252 00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.759 that in a second, but I do want to answer 253 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.440 some of these questions here. We'll go on YouTube first. 254 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.399 Jacob Ander wants to know Jack he's in a six 255 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:38.559 point per touchdown passing league and he's got to decide 256 00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:41.399 between Geno Smith or Kyler Murray this week. Obviously, Kyler 257 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.799 Murray on Thursday Night Football tonight at home against the 258 00:12:44.799 --> 00:12:49.480 Seattle Seahawks. Gino Smith at home against the Chicago Bears. 259 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.159 I just I continue to be underwhelmed by Kyler Murray, 260 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.240 I think, and we'll talk about the Seattle defense here 261 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:57.519 coming up, but I think this is a bad matchup 262 00:12:57.519 --> 00:12:59.879 for Murray. Whereas I could see a lot of points 263 00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.559 scored in that Raiders Bears game. I think I leaned 264 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.919 towards Smith here, and maybe it's recency bias that's affecting me. 265 00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:07.679 The way that Smith was bombing the ball down the 266 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.360 field to Trey Tucker, but I think he can have 267 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.120 successful performance against the Bears on Sunday as well, So 268 00:13:14.200 --> 00:13:16.440 I lean towards Geno Smith here over Kyler Murray. 269 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:20.000 I think I lean Kyler with the rushing upside. But 270 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:22.240 I'm trying to pull up our projections really quick. We 271 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.720 have it very close. We have them zero point two 272 00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.759 points apart in our ETR projections, So a very good 273 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.639 question to ask. We do have Kyler slightly ahead, so 274 00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:34.200 kyleen Kyler. 275 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:37.000 So Murray slightly ahead there, and we'll see. I just 276 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.240 I'll bring this up to not that this isn't just 277 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.320 like the end all be all, but I always like 278 00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:45.720 to look at the totals on these games, and obviously 279 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.080 the spreads forty three and a half tonight with the 280 00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:50.799 Cardinals a one and a half point home underdog, and 281 00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:52.799 then if you go to that Bears Raiders game that 282 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.200 is in the four to twenty five window, forty seven 283 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:57.000 and a half with the Raiders one and a half point. 284 00:13:57.039 --> 00:13:59.200 So yeah, I mean it's very close. This is why 285 00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:04.279 he's asking us, because it's a coin flip. Here ETR 286 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:08.519 is saying go with Kyler Murray, Bulky is saying go 287 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:10.919 with Gino Smith, So I know which way I would 288 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:12.679 lean on that, and you probably know which way you 289 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:16.000 should lean on that too. A Manster twenty three yo. 290 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.519 Do I trade K nine for BTJ PPR. My running 291 00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.679 backs are McCaffrey, Walker and Trede Benson. My wide receivers 292 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:26.919 are Justin Jefferson, Davante, Adams, Chris o'loba, and a Mecca 293 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:31.639 ag Buka. I lean sort of against this. It seems 294 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.519 like your wide receivers are pretty deep right now. You 295 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.039 got four really good ones there, and if you trade Walker, 296 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.600 you're adding Brian Thomas into that fray, and then you're 297 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:42.519 down to Christian McCaffrey and trade Benson. I don't know 298 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.080 if I want to roll that way. I think you 299 00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.399 have good balance right now, So I would keep Walker, 300 00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:51.200 McCaffrey and Benson, Keith, Jefferson, Adams, o'labby and a Book 301 00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.120 at receiver. I would well, I do think Thomas is 302 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.279 a strong by low right now. Jack, I think for 303 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.200 this situation I would be against this trade. 304 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.519 Yeah, I prefer Brian Thomas in a vacuum, but I 305 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.039 do think with this team it depends a little bit 306 00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:06.159 on how many receivers you can start if you can 307 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:07.879 start for if this is the one of the like 308 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.320 f FPC two flex where you can start four receivers, 309 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:12.879 I kind of still lean Brian Thomas Junior to be honest, 310 00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:19.000 but I think with this specific team it is pretty 311 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.240 close because you do have that wide receiver depth as 312 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.960 you mentioned, and you'd be pretty It depends on also 313 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.559 who your current RB four is. If you don't have 314 00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:29.440 a viable current RB four, who would become your third 315 00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:33.120 running back without locker, then that makes it kind of 316 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.080 a tough tougher proposition. 317 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:38.240 Two flex two wide receiver format there for a Manster 318 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.600 twenty three. So thank you for that. Hopefully we helped 319 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:43.159 you out. We'll go on X right now, Kyle Burr, 320 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.960 Romeo Dobbs or Evan Engrim at the flex. Evan Ingram 321 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.759 did indeed return to practice this week, which is a 322 00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.240 good thing, as Martha Stewart would say, But I don't 323 00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:55.080 know if he's going to have many good things this 324 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.159 week in fantasy. I know it's a really good matchup 325 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.600 with the Bengals, but you know, you're looking at the 326 00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.799 second straight week of no Jaden Reid against one of 327 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.639 the worst passing defenses in the NFL, even in tight 328 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:09.399 end premium. I don't know if I could pull the 329 00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:12.080 trigger on Ingram over Dobbs if it's non tight end premium. 330 00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.080 Jack Dobbs is an easy call for me here over 331 00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:15.919 Evan Ingram. 332 00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:18.720 Yeah, I think it's Dobs pretty comfortably too. I mean 333 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.320 Evan Ingram, he's one of these guys where if the 334 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:25.639 Broncos get in positive game script, Sean Payton prefers to 335 00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.960 play Adam Troutman, and the Broncos are seven point favorites 336 00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:31.080 over Jake Browning. So I think this could be a 337 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.519 floor game for Ingram with the with the game script 338 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:35.240 we're expecting. So I'm going Dobbs here. 339 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:38.879 Coo on YouTube right now. Just made a trade. This 340 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.600 is an interesting one. He got Jon Robinson. He gave 341 00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:47.039 up Kyron Williams, Davante Adams, and Roma Doonsay, so you 342 00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.360 got the best player in the trade, but you did 343 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.919 pay the iron price for it. Here he gets all 344 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:54.240 I'm beg your pardon. He gets Brian Thomas Junior back 345 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.080 as well. He has Jonathan Taylor, Justin Jefferson, Drake London. 346 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.799 I think we're split, and he's also got Trade Benson. 347 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.840 We're we're splitting hairs here a little bit. You can 348 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.920 make the case that you're maybe selling high on Romo 349 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.759 Dunzan and perhaps DeVante Adams as well. Kyraen Williams too. 350 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.440 I think that with the Blake Korum time share that 351 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.519 they have going on there, which is, you know, splitting 352 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.880 what seventy five twenty five seventy thirty, and that's what 353 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:22.839 Sean McVay says that he wants it to be at. 354 00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:24.920 This could be the last week that you could sell 355 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:28.039 high on Kyraen Williams. It's tough to say. I don't 356 00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:29.880 think you lost the trade. I don't think he necessarily 357 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:31.920 won the trade. It's close. Jack. I don't really have 358 00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.839 strong feelings on this. I think I think it's fine, 359 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.599 and usually I give the advantage to the player that 360 00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.720 gets the best asset in the deal, and in this case, 361 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.240 I do believe it's John Robinson. 362 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:42.039 Yeah. 363 00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:44.319 I prefer the Bejon side slightly. 364 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.640 I don't think it's agreedious on either side, but I 365 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.759 prefer getting Bejon. I think Brian Thomas Junior sends it 366 00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.440 over the top a little bit. If if you didn't 367 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.960 get back Brian Thomas Junior or got back a much 368 00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:58.839 lesser receiver. I'd like the three pieces, but with I 369 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:01.960 mean Jon and Ryan and Brian Thomas are both, in 370 00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.319 my opinion, pretty high end started, so I like getting 371 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.039 both of them. 372 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:09.279 Our GQ on YouTube. I need help starting. This is 373 00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:12.680 a half point PPR format, a flex, two running backs, 374 00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.759 three receivers. So you're looking at Saint Brown, Nico Collins, 375 00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:20.519 Roma Dunse, Keenan Allen, and Quentin Johnston. So let's tackle 376 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.720 that first. We got to bench two of those guys 377 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.839 in good conscience, I can't really bench any of the 378 00:18:25.839 --> 00:18:28.799 first three, so I guess I have to sit Keenan Allen, 379 00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:31.279 I have to sit Quenton Johnston. Is that the way 380 00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.400 you see it, too, Jack. 381 00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:35.039 Yeah, we've got a flex here, so we can come 382 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:37.200 back to Keithan and QJ. But I think for the 383 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:40.440 three wide receivers, it's got to be Aman, Nico, and Rome. 384 00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:43.359 So half point PPR. Let's look at the running backs. 385 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:45.759 We got to pick two of these for him here tonight, 386 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.960 Kyron Williams, I still think like this week, you probably 387 00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:52.079 still got to get him in your lineup. And then 388 00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:55.480 it gets a little messy between Hubbard, Benson, Judkins and Pacheco. 389 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.559 It's close between Hubbard and Benson. I think I leaned 390 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.119 Benson here as the second running back to go with 391 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.920 Kien Williams. 392 00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:05.119 A lean Benson and Kiren too. I agree, it's very 393 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:08.680 close between Benson and Cuba. I really couldn't blame you 394 00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:11.160 if you went the other way, but I slightly lean Benson. 395 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:15.680 For me, the flex comes down to Hubbard and then 396 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.440 obviously one of these chiefs receivers, probably Keenan Allen. For me, 397 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.359 I guess my flex is probably Keenan Allen over Johnston 398 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.920 and Uh and Hubb I beg your pardon, yeah, and Hubbard. 399 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.000 I think the flex is probably Keenan Allen for me. 400 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.759 The Chargers get to go to travel to the Giants 401 00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.200 this week, that's who they play, and then Hubbard Cuba. 402 00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:41.759 Hubbard this week is up against Oh god, I just haded. 403 00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:48.119 I'm sorry, Hubbard is playing the Yeah exactly, So I 404 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.000 roll with Keenan Allen here as the flex. 405 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:53.880 Yeah, it's really close between Keenan and Tuba. For me, 406 00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:57.680 I think I'm with you. I think I'm going Keenan Allen. 407 00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:59.839 The volume is just so good right now. 408 00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.599 Yeah, I mean this is this is a good problem 409 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:03.519 to have, and obviously you're gonna you're gonna be happy 410 00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:05.559 you have this depth once the bye week's hit, which 411 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:07.759 I think they start next week, right, Jack, do you know? 412 00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:08.559 Do you know off the end? 413 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.359 I don't know offhand, but I think it usually starts 414 00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:13.559 Week five, So that's not right. 415 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:17.440 Yeah, yeah, I'm looking at it right now. Week five 416 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.319 is when it starts with Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, and 417 00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.559 Pittsburgh all on by. So that's next week. We'll we'll 418 00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:26.240 tackle Week four this week when everybody's got still a 419 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.319 really good team and you don't have to worry about 420 00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:32.240 replacements in that lineup. Permar ninety nine. Our good buddy 421 00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:38.119 is uh Is. He needs one from Matthew Golden, Jamison Williams, 422 00:20:38.200 --> 00:20:43.079 Hunter Henry. He's leaning towards Golden here and and I listen, 423 00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:46.200 who am I to say, don't start a Packers receiver 424 00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:50.119 against the Dallas Cowboys defense. So I get it. If 425 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.440 it is tight end premium, I think that you are 426 00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:56.960 looking at a situation where it becomes much closer. If 427 00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.880 it's non tight end premium. God, you know you throw 428 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.400 Jamison Williams into this too, Jack, This get this gets 429 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.000 really Dicey. The Lions are coming off the short the 430 00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:09.599 short week obviously, as they played Monday night football in 431 00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:15.680 Baltimore against the Ravens. Got I think, you know, as 432 00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:17.680 much as I love Golden, I think I might like 433 00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.839 Jamis and Williams here better. Uh. And then if it's 434 00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:24.720 tight end premium, it's Henry non tight end premium, I 435 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:26.720 think it's it's Williams. I don't know, how are you 436 00:21:26.759 --> 00:21:28.960 seeing this? This is this has got me, This has 437 00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:30.119 got me twisted a little bit. 438 00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.920 I think this is another one that's that's really close. 439 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:36.720 I think I I think it's Jamo if it's not 440 00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.279 tight end premium. If it is tight end premium, I 441 00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:45.680 think it's really close between Jmo and Henry. It's not premium. 442 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:46.200 I probably go. 443 00:21:46.440 --> 00:21:49.240 I probably go Jamo there if picking one, If picking two, 444 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.440 it's Jamo and Golden. Uh. 445 00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:55.400 So there you go. Hopefully that helps you out, Permart, 446 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:59.079 and we will be answering more starting said questions throughout 447 00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.599 the next couple of segments on the show. Jack Kamiller 448 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.160 and from established a run joining us tonight on the 449 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.839 show I want on the FFPC Insider Access Show. We 450 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.079 have to talk about the Chiefs receivers, because this is 451 00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:14.519 a little confounding here as we try to figure this 452 00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.720 out for a four to twenty five game, correct me 453 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.359 if I'm wrong. No, for twenty five game between Baltimore 454 00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.960 and Kansas City, and we don't know exactly what's going 455 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.599 on with Xavier Worthy. However, if we read between the lines, 456 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.359 if we are reading the tea leaves, we could probably, 457 00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.759 I don't want to say safely assume, but I think 458 00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:36.559 we can assume that Worthy is going to be going 459 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:41.359 against Baltimore on Sunday afternoon. Had a shoulder injury caused 460 00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:46.079 by one Travis Kelce in week one. He practiced the 461 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.000 following week, but this is actually today was his first 462 00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.640 full practice since he injured his shoulder. The concern I 463 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:57.799 have here is the early reporting that came out on 464 00:22:57.799 --> 00:23:00.920 this Jack was that he is to be used as 465 00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:03.759 a decoy. Like you often don't hear reporting like I 466 00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.599 think it was Nate Taylor from ESPN saying he's going 467 00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.559 to be out there, but he's going to be limited. 468 00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.240 He's going to be used as a decoy, which is 469 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.519 kind of a weird thing to say. Sometimes we hear 470 00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:15.480 that a player is active and he's going to be 471 00:23:15.519 --> 00:23:17.680 out there, but we don't hear that he's going to 472 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.599 be used as a decoy until we actually see it 473 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.200 with our own eyes. In regards to Xavier Worthy this week, 474 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.440 this not only affects him, This affects Travis Kelce, this 475 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.759 affects Hollywood Brown as well. What do you think is 476 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:35.279 going to happen? And knowing what we know publicly about 477 00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:39.000 Xavier Worthy's shoulder, what is the proper way to handle 478 00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.119 guys like Kelsey Brown and Worthy in your lineups? With 479 00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:44.400 a late start on Sunday afternoon? 480 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.359 Yeah, I'm hoping we get more information between now and 481 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.599 twelve pm Sunday. Right now, after a full practice, I 482 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:56.240 think it's fine to plan to start Worthy. We don't 483 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:59.480 really see a lot of guys fully practice and then 484 00:23:59.559 --> 00:24:03.039 go in to a less than a significantly less than 485 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:06.319 normal role. And given that Worthy seemed to have some 486 00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:08.759 chance of playing last week, I guess the extra week 487 00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.039 and I mean this is a huge game for Kansas City. 488 00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.079 I guess that they try to get everything they can 489 00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:16.680 out of him. I mean, Kelsey's been really disappointing from 490 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:19.359 a basically every perspective you want to look at his 491 00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.640 target chairs down. Even though he has less competition than 492 00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:26.880 he had last year, He's doesn't look very productive after 493 00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.920 the catch. He doesn't look like he has the same 494 00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:31.680 explosiveness he used to. You still have to start him, 495 00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:34.640 I think, just because he's still a tight end one. 496 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:39.480 He's still getting respectable albeit not elite volume. But Worthy's 497 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.160 gonna get into what decreased target chair he was already 498 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.160 getting even more. So it's definitely a downgrade soon for 499 00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.799 Marquis Brown. I mean, Juju and Taekwon Thornton are both 500 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.039 gonna play too, So I think just adding another significant 501 00:24:54.079 --> 00:24:57.759 piece of the puzzle and Worthy just ticks everyone down 502 00:24:58.799 --> 00:24:59.440 slightly more. 503 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:02.240 You know, we talk about the bad part about it, 504 00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.920 you know, not knowing what to do with Worthy Brown, Calcey, 505 00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.000 you know, you bring up the Thornton aspect as well. 506 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.480 Maybe this is a good thing for Patrick Mahomes. You know, 507 00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:13.279 the Ravens have been giving up a lot of points 508 00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:15.240 this year, and granted they've been playing against some pretty 509 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.880 tough offenses, but this could be another game where Mahomes 510 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:21.759 actually plays really well, and the fact that you're adding 511 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.480 these extra weapons for him, maybe he becomes a better 512 00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.920 start than Caleb Williams, Drake May, bow Nicks, you know, 513 00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:30.079 players like this, even Jordan Love against the Cowboys. I 514 00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.200 think there's a conversation to be had with that. But 515 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.839 to me, this is good news for Patrick Mahomes. 516 00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:40.319 Obviously I think so too, but the passing efficiency needs 517 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:43.440 to take a significant step up, like it's it's looked 518 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:48.519 really bad for the Chiefs passing offense. Mahomes excluding Week three, 519 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:50.920 has been really active with his legs, which is huge 520 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.519 for fantasy, But I don't know. I mean, it's been 521 00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:56.519 just so bad that I don't know if Xavier Worthy 522 00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.000 can fix it. I think once where the Anracity Raiser back, 523 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.200 it's gonna look a lot better. But I'm still a 524 00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:07.119 little skeptical of Mahomes for Week four because we kind 525 00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:08.440 of saw what it looked like last year in the 526 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.200 regular season with Worthy, and it wasn't the Mahomes were 527 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.920 used to seeing by any means. 528 00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:18.160 I just you know, Mahomes just turned thirty, I think 529 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.119 before last week, and he's got a lot of good 530 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:23.359 football left in him, and I just feel like we're 531 00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:26.839 still witnessing like the end of this first phase of 532 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:28.920 his career. The weapons that he's going to be using. 533 00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:31.759 I just feel if if Kansas City gets back to 534 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.640 the Super Bowl again, it's gonna be with you know, 535 00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.599 obviously Worthy is gonna be one of them, but they 536 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:39.559 need a running back. They need a real running back 537 00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:42.279 back there. They need a real threat at tight end, 538 00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:46.759 which they don't have right now with Kelsey, and I 539 00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:49.000 think it's gonna happen. I just I think this year 540 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.039 it's going to be a struggle bus for Kansas City 541 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:53.440 week in and week out. It's just gonna be one 542 00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:55.160 of those things you can just never really count on 543 00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:57.720 based on the level of talent, the age of the 544 00:26:57.759 --> 00:27:00.279 talent that they have on the squad right now. These 545 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.720 guys are at in their careers. David and Joku. I 546 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:06.720 have not seen what happened in practice today for the Browns, 547 00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:11.839 but he was limited yesterday. He normally is on the 548 00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.839 injury report for Cleveland. Is not just twenty twenty five. 549 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.519 It happened in twenty twenty four, twenty twenty three, you know, 550 00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:21.559 going back, and he gets the Lions this week, which 551 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:24.519 granted their defense. I picked up in a lot of 552 00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:25.480 leagues last night. 553 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:25.759 Jack. 554 00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:28.920 I think they're a solid streamer obviously against Cleveland, but 555 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.960 I do think In Djoko could could do some damage. 556 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.720 He had five catches last week, it's the most he's 557 00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:38.640 had all season, and forty yards, which was also the 558 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:42.640 most he's had all season. Obviously, Harold Fannin is gumming 559 00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.599 up the works here a little bit. But if you 560 00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:46.640 look at in Djoku and tight end premium leagues, I 561 00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:48.920 think he's a slam dunk start. Whether you're looking at 562 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.319 flex or your tight end non tight end premium leagues, 563 00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:55.640 I think it gets a little bit dicey. I don't 564 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:58.440 know if we're seeing a changing of the garden Cleveland 565 00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:01.839 right now, but certainly for fantasy. When I thought about 566 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.440 Fannin and Inn Djoku and where they would be at 567 00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.079 in regards to production at this point of the season, 568 00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:11.119 I did not view them as this close together. They're 569 00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.400 almost coin flips on a week to week basis of 570 00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.279 who's going to do better, and I don't really have 571 00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:19.079 a good way of predicting it between in Djoku and Fanin. 572 00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:20.319 How do you view this situation? 573 00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.279 Yeah, the snaps and routes are still good for in 574 00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.440 Djoku in terms, he's still running a lot of routes. 575 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.480 The targets are down. I think last year, he was 576 00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.960 around a twenty percent target share. This year, through three games, 577 00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.960 he's at fourteen percent. Fin is also at fourteen percent, 578 00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:36.440 even though he's playing a little less. It really seems 579 00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.839 like the Browns are making a concerted effort to get 580 00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:41.240 him the ball when he is on the field. And 581 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:43.559 that's pretty bad news for Enjoku. It's it's also bad 582 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:47.000 news for Jerry Judy and Cedric Tillman, really all all 583 00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.839 of the Browns pass cutchers that have such a significant 584 00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:53.200 threat added to the mix. I do still agree with 585 00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:54.920 you that, I mean, this is a game. The Browns 586 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:56.720 are going to be throwing a ton. They're nine and 587 00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:59.559 a half point underdogs the Lions. We know Joe Flaco 588 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:02.480 is gonna and in Djoku's still out there enough. He's 589 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:04.799 still getting enough targets to be a viable play in 590 00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:09.160 tight end premium league leagues. I think in non tight 591 00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.960 end premium leagues he's clearly not a flex option. I 592 00:29:11.960 --> 00:29:15.720 think he's a pretty low end starting option. But I 593 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:17.839 do think that a lot of people probably don't have 594 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.640 much better options in non tight end premium leagues, and 595 00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:23.400 so it's fine to trot him out there. He's not 596 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:25.960 someone you're going to be super excited to start every week, 597 00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.440 but he's a he's a viable option. 598 00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:30.400 Sean Angel coming through for us as a night our producer, 599 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.680 saying that in Djoku did get in a full practice today, 600 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.279 which is good. Coming up on that game against the 601 00:29:36.319 --> 00:29:39.519 Lions this week. That Browns Lions total is at forty 602 00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.400 four and a half, which is interesting. I thought it'd 603 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.200 be a little bit higher, but maybe they're just not 604 00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:47.039 giving the Cleveland offense enough credit. Ten point favorites are 605 00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:51.440 the Lions in the Motor City at one pm on Sunday. 606 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.400 Brock Perty, what a ride it's been so far for 607 00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:59.359 him this season. David Lombardi reporting that John Lynch saying 608 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.359 he looked really good in practice yesterday, and it certainly 609 00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:05.839 seems Jack that we are going to see Brock Purty 610 00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:09.680 back on the gridiron this week. Mac Jones reaggravated a 611 00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.559 knee injury that he suffered in preseason, So now all 612 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.880 of a sudden, Perty is the more healthy quarterback between 613 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.519 the two. This is the Jacksonville Jaguars that he is 614 00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:21.799 going to be throwing against this week. I would imagine 615 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:24.440 that you want to keep Perty upright as much as possible. 616 00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:28.480 Probably no Bosa for the forty nine ers, so maybe 617 00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:30.079 this makes it. I don't want to say a shootout 618 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:31.680 because I think both teams are going to be running 619 00:30:31.680 --> 00:30:34.119 the football a lot. Obviously, the Niners know where their 620 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.240 bread is buttered with Christian McCaffrey, and the Jaguars ground 621 00:30:37.240 --> 00:30:40.359 game has been much more successful in moving the football 622 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:43.640 downfield rather than the passing game so far this season. 623 00:30:43.920 --> 00:30:48.039 But brock Perdy certainly a decent matchup for him, even 624 00:30:48.079 --> 00:30:50.440 missing the time. Does he slay it in as a 625 00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:52.359 starter for you right away? Do you have any qualms 626 00:30:52.359 --> 00:30:52.759 about it? 627 00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:57.400 I'd be a little cautious with what the rushing workload's 628 00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:59.920 going to look like with the tow injury. I've just 629 00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.640 right enough online about this kind of toe injury where 630 00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:05.519 it seems like it could impact him from a rushing standpoint. 631 00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.799 He quietly was scrambling a ton last year and so 632 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:10.480 that was a pretty big part of his game, So 633 00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:13.480 it would be unfortunate for fantasy purposes if that is 634 00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:16.799 dialed back a little bit. I've also seen a lot 635 00:31:16.799 --> 00:31:20.359 of stuff about the Jaguars defense being a potentially bad matchup. 636 00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.799 I'm a little less worried about that just because I 637 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:24.920 want to see the Jaguars do it against someone that's 638 00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:28.680 not the Panthers Jake Browning or this Texans offense that 639 00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.519 hasn't really moved the ball against anyone. 640 00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:32.359 So I'm not. 641 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:35.079 Super worried about the matchup. I would be a little 642 00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:38.640 bit worried about the toe injury limiting his rushing, but 643 00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:40.640 I do think he's still I mean, this is a 644 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:43.319 Kyle Shanahan offense. They're going to be super efficient. We'll 645 00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:45.920 see if Juwon Jennings plays. I don't think we know 646 00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:50.559 on that yet. But regardless, I think Purty should still 647 00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.839 be his usual efficient self. It's just maybe the rushing 648 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.200 isn't quite at the standard we're used to. 649 00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:59.400 Would you play Kyler Murray over Brock Party then tonight? 650 00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:05.880 I would, yeah, Jared goff over over over Brock Party. 651 00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.839 I think so. But that one's yeah, I think. 652 00:32:10.680 --> 00:32:15.880 So, okay. And then the last one here, well, no, 653 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.000 that's a dumb one because if jayde Daniels is active, 654 00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:20.680 you're going to play him. What about Matthew Stafford against 655 00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.759 the Colts versus Brock Party. 656 00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:27.240 I think I'd probably lean Party there. 657 00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:29.960 Okay, all right, I want to go back to twitch 658 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:33.160 here chance f twenty thousand. I think it's twenty thousand 659 00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:35.920 if I'm reading that correctly. He wants to know should 660 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:37.799 he start, and I would say he could be she 661 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:42.279 as well DeAndre Swift at Las Vegas or his other 662 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:46.400 option or her other option, Chase Brown at Denver. And 663 00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:48.880 this was not even a question a month ago. But now, 664 00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:54.880 given the quarterback situation in Cincinnati, and given DeAndre Swift 665 00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:01.519 seemingly fending off Roshawn Johnson seemingly offending off uh Kyle 666 00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.079 manungai Uh, this is a situation that we have to 667 00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.440 weigh in on here. I still lean Brown. I'm not 668 00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:10.400 there yet. I know there's a lot of people down 669 00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:12.960 on Brown after the Burrow injury and after what we 670 00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:15.960 saw against Minnesota last week, but I'm still trotting him 671 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:18.680 out there, even in Denver against a pretty tough defense 672 00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:20.960 over DeAndre Swift, who's at Las Vegas. Jack. 673 00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.319 Yeah, I'm still team Brown too, especially I mean some 674 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:28.799 pins banged up. I haven't seen anything yet on whether 675 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.279 he's gonna play. I think he's expected to play, but 676 00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:33.400 if Pieran doesn't play, that would mean Chase Brown also 677 00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:35.480 gets the third down steps. But even if per EN's in, 678 00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:38.039 I think I think you still got Chase Brown. The 679 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.799 volume is just so good. I know, he's been absolutely 680 00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:44.000 horrific from a from an efficiency standpoint, and I mean, 681 00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.000 we really can't expect that to get a whole lot 682 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.720 better with Jake Browning at quarterback against this Broncos defense. 683 00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.039 But volume is still king in fantasy football, and so 684 00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:54.640 I'm going Chase Brown Yeah. 685 00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:58.000 And you know, I just I look at do you 686 00:33:58.039 --> 00:34:00.440 have any metrics? Did you look this up? I don't 687 00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:04.200 have anything. What did Jake Browning do back in twenty 688 00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:06.400 twenty three in regards to throwing the running backs? You 689 00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.639 recall offhand, I know when Chase was healthy, he was 690 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:12.599 pumping the ball to Chase. I know when Chase wasn't healthy, 691 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:14.920 he was pumping the ball to Higgins. I really don't 692 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.320 remember what he was doing with running backs, if he 693 00:34:17.400 --> 00:34:19.800 was checking down to them at all, because that's something 694 00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:22.800 that you know, even though Joe Burrow is awesome all 695 00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:26.119 world quarterback, he still got Chase and Chase brown involved 696 00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:27.920 in the passing game. And I wonder if that's going 697 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:31.199 to be the case for Brown with Browning going forward. Here. 698 00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.599 Part of the reason we like brown so much is 699 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.840 the pass catching and if he's not getting that with Browning, 700 00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:39.039 then we have to reevaluate. 701 00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:42.559 I think I don't want to be quoted on this 702 00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:44.880 because I could be wrong. I think Browning threw to 703 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.000 running backs a pretty good amount. I know he threw 704 00:34:47.039 --> 00:34:49.559 the tight ends a ton when he started in twenty 705 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:54.159 twenty three running backs. I think he threw slightly more 706 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:58.079 than the Bengals were without Jake Browning. But I could 707 00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:59.679 be wrong on that. 708 00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:02.280 I'm just curious offhand, and that's something that we could 709 00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:05.199 check out later on. But I do think that's worth 710 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:13.199 revisiting here. Okay, let's go with Joshua Mogard on YouTube 711 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:15.760 right now. He's got a flex out one of these players, 712 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.119 Ladd McConkie, Chris o'lave, Trey Benson. Olave been very involved 713 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:24.840 in the passing game with New Orleans, and he's gonna 714 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:26.280 have to be again this week because I think there's 715 00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.599 gonna be a lot of throwing for Spencer Rattler. Bills 716 00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.840 are like sixteen seventeen point favorites in that game at 717 00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:35.840 Orchard Park. You have Trey Benson obviously tonight, who may 718 00:35:35.960 --> 00:35:39.119 or may not be the bell Coow. Certainly he's gonna 719 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.960 get a lot more work in Week four than what 720 00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:44.199 he did in Week three against Seattam. And then Ladd McConkie, 721 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.440 who's been the victim of being on a really good 722 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.199 passing team, Herbert and the Chargers probably airing out more 723 00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:52.960 than I expected so far this season. Jack. I also 724 00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.280 didn't expect Keenan Allen to be this heavily involved, and 725 00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:59.760 Quentin Johnston to be, you know, have this magnet to 726 00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.280 the end zone. He's been very, very good so far 727 00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:04.079 this year. So this is this is a tough call. 728 00:36:05.199 --> 00:36:07.840 If you can only play one of these for me, 729 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.679 I guess I'd probably eliminate Alave. And this comes down, 730 00:36:11.239 --> 00:36:14.679 uh to McConkie and Benson. Is the volume for Benson 731 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.079 enough for you to say that you're going to give 732 00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:19.199 him the nod over mconkie? How would you? What would 733 00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:20.599 you tell Joshua Mogard here? 734 00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:24.079 Yeah, My gut take was lad And then I looked 735 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:26.280 at our projections and we actually have him last of 736 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:28.760 the three, which surprised me a little bit. We have 737 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:32.480 Trey Benson first, so I he would have been second 738 00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:34.800 for me just on gut take, And I think I'll 739 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:36.920 lean into the numbers here and go with Trey Benson. 740 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:41.480 Is there something to be said for as Permar brings 741 00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:46.239 this up here, when you consider the upside of Jackson Dart, 742 00:36:46.239 --> 00:36:48.519 who was named the starter this week for New York, 743 00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:52.639 getting the throw to theo Johnson Malik Neighbors, you know, 744 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.280 Darius Slayton getting camp Scataboo out of the backfield as well. 745 00:36:57.719 --> 00:37:01.960 Is there something to be said for Star Dart in 746 00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:06.400 that game against the Chargers over Jayden Daniels, who's hobbled 747 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:09.159 and who may be in a lower scoring game there. 748 00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.280 If Daniels is active, is he a slam dunk play 749 00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:15.320 over Dart Or is there a nuanced decision in this 750 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:18.119 that maybe Dart would be the better play over Daniels, 751 00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:19.800 who's still dealing with a knee injury. 752 00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:23.719 If Jadan Daniels is active, I'm definitely starting him over Dart. 753 00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.519 Dart definitely has a lot of upside, but I think 754 00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:28.840 this is just a tough spot for him, going against 755 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:32.480 a really good defense at Jesse Menzer coach defense in 756 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:36.119 his first career start. I like the upside, but I mean, 757 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.199 we're talking about a guy who admittedly is not healthy, 758 00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:41.400 but when he's healthy, He's a top five fantasy quarterback. 759 00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:44.559 I think it's it's it's too it's too aggressive to 760 00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:47.199 throw Jackson Dart in the same conversation that quickly. 761 00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:52.440 In Cognito TK on YouTube, this is an interesting one. 762 00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:55.639 He has the opportunity to part with Lamar Jackson and 763 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:59.400 Zay Flowers in exchange for Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Junior, 764 00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:03.280 and saque Barkley. So you're trading this Baltimore hookup stack 765 00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.440 in exchange for an Arizona one, and you're also getting 766 00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.639 Barkley with that as well. I feel like you are 767 00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:13.320 buying low on Murray, Harrison, and Barkley right now. You 768 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:15.280 may or may not be trading high on Jackson. I 769 00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:18.079 don't know. I feel like you're probably just getting normal 770 00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.679 value for Zay Jones. Where would you stand in on 771 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.960 this deal? It's very tempting when you throw Barkley in there. 772 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:28.920 Jack Yeah, it's Saquon for me. I definitely like the 773 00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:29.679 Saquon side. 774 00:38:29.719 --> 00:38:30.119 I think. 775 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:32.920 I think if you have an opportunity to get Saquon 776 00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:38.559 and two very viable starters in addition in exchange for 777 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.800 the Maaron z, I think it's a pretty clear take. 778 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:44.320 For me, We'll get into Marvin Harrison in about fifteen 779 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:45.960 twenty minutes or so. Because I want to pick your 780 00:38:45.960 --> 00:38:53.920 brain on that. Let's go with gravity on twitch, picking 781 00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.559 two out of the four here, Metcalf, Harrison, Golden, Coleman. 782 00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.280 He's leaning Golden and Coleman right now. I would lean 783 00:39:01.360 --> 00:39:04.800 against that. I feel like you gotta get metcalf in there, 784 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.800 and quite frankly, I think I take Harrison here. I 785 00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:12.320 think I go Metcalf Harrison over Golden and Coldan. It's weird, Jack, 786 00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.840 I feel like I've spent all week talking up Matthew Golden, 787 00:39:14.880 --> 00:39:17.159 how he's going to destroy the Cowboys, and yet every 788 00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.519 question I get, I'm saying, now bench Golden. Now, I 789 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.280 like the other options better. It's weird, but I think 790 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:23.760 it's metcalf and Harrison here for me. 791 00:39:24.480 --> 00:39:26.320 Yeah. I mean, if there's ever a breakout spot for 792 00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:28.920 Matthew Golden, this is it against this defense that's just 793 00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:31.360 gotten torn up two weeks in a row. With that 794 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:34.039 being said, I'm with you, I'd like to see it 795 00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:38.079 before I start starting Golden over guys like Metcalfin and 796 00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.760 Harrison Junr as as rough as it has been for 797 00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:43.960 both of those guys. I still I'm still clinging to 798 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:46.360 the prize a little bit and going with Metcalffin and 799 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:47.599 Marvin Harrison. 800 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.519 Gravity it's chimed in too. Like you talk about Metcalf, 801 00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.360 he started off the season with a seven target game 802 00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:56.199 that's has been his most then he followed up with 803 00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:59.639 six four targets. He gets the vikings on Sunday. He 804 00:39:59.800 --> 00:40:02.719 has had to rely on touchdowns to be Fantasy relevant 805 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:06.360 from a weekly, week by week basis. But I would 806 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.199 counter that saying that Kean Coleman's best game was Week 807 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:11.800 one and I don't know if he's been getting targets. 808 00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:14.559 Matthew Golden, I can guarantee you has not been getting targets, 809 00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.280 like maybe a few more in Week three with no 810 00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:21.079 Jayden Reid. But I do think the argument that you're 811 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:24.320 making with Metcalf, you could make the same argument about Coleman. 812 00:40:24.360 --> 00:40:26.280 You make the same argument about Golden as well, and 813 00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:29.280 maybe even Harrison to a certain extent too. But I 814 00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:32.239 think the upside plays, even though Golden's one of them, 815 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:36.000 I think that Metcalf and Harrison is where I would 816 00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:41.920 roll on this. Okay, let's move back to what did 817 00:40:41.920 --> 00:40:43.519 I want to talk about Oh. I was like, oh, 818 00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.920 this is great, let's talk about Juwan Jennings right after 819 00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:47.400 we talk about brock Perty and then we got a 820 00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:49.039 bunch of questions. It is what it is. We'll go 821 00:40:49.079 --> 00:40:51.960 back to San Francisco here. In regards to Juwan Jennings, 822 00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:58.440 who was inactive last week, Jack a guy that was 823 00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:03.119 very polarizing in rafting season, a guy that we didn't 824 00:41:03.119 --> 00:41:04.840 know if it was a calf injury, we didn't know, 825 00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:06.480 if it was a contract, we didn't know if it 826 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.159 was a combination of the two. And then he sits 827 00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:11.840 out last week, and Ricky Pearsall has a pretty big 828 00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:14.719 week and Mac Jones was looking to him early and often. 829 00:41:15.199 --> 00:41:19.079 This just coming six minutes ago from Demetrius Harvey. Juwan 830 00:41:19.199 --> 00:41:22.840 Jennings did not practice today for the forty nine ers. 831 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:27.519 The reports we got yesterday it seemed like, you know, 832 00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:29.880 veteran rest, just give him extra day, And now it 833 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.440 doesn't seem like that's the case at all. He is 834 00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:34.960 on the injury report officially for the forty nine ers 835 00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:39.000 today with ankle and shoulder injuries. Right now, if he 836 00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:41.639 gets in a limited practice tomorrow, yeah, I feel a 837 00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:45.280 lot more confident about flexing Jennings out. But from what 838 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:47.239 I saw last week with Pearsall and I know we're 839 00:41:47.239 --> 00:41:50.800 going back to brock Purty this week. But Piersall, I 840 00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:52.360 don't want to say, he looks like the real deal, 841 00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:55.239 but he looks very, very good, and he's coming into 842 00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:58.159 a situation or Jennings is coming into a situation where 843 00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:01.239 he's got to make him know he's sort of got 844 00:42:01.239 --> 00:42:03.559 to force the issue to get the ball. With Pearsall 845 00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:06.320 looking so good, I don't feel real good about Jennings 846 00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:08.280 this week, even if he does get in a limited 847 00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:09.119 practice tomorrow. 848 00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:11.679 Yeah, I think you can start up yourself for sure. 849 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.119 Regardless of what happens with Jron, Jennings and Drew On, 850 00:42:15.239 --> 00:42:17.559 I think a lot comes down to tomorrow. I'm I'm 851 00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:20.679 a little surprised he's dnped twice in a row. After 852 00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.239 it seemed like he was maybe airing on the side 853 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:26.480 of doubtful but at least semi questionable going into last weekend. 854 00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:28.039 Now it seems like he might be a risk of 855 00:42:28.039 --> 00:42:32.280 missing a second straight week. I think hopefully we'll get 856 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:36.639 a lot more information on his actual health before Locke 857 00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:40.320 on Sunday. I do think that if he's limited, he's 858 00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:43.360 a pretty tough start. If we don't get any more information, 859 00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:46.559 we don't know how much he's gonna play. It seems 860 00:42:46.599 --> 00:42:49.199 like a more serious injury than we thought maybe at 861 00:42:49.199 --> 00:42:50.079 this time last week. 862 00:42:50.119 --> 00:42:51.440 So I'm with you there. 863 00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:56.800 Our Highland on YouTube PPR Flex League question starter said 864 00:42:56.800 --> 00:43:00.639 trade Benson, Chris Olave, Matthew Golden or Teteroa McMillan. He 865 00:43:00.719 --> 00:43:02.800 says he's not sure if he's all in on the 866 00:43:02.840 --> 00:43:06.559 trade Benson trade and the potential matchup against Dallas is 867 00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.360 tough for him to pass up with Golden, you can 868 00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.599 only pick one of these guys if it's one. To me, 869 00:43:13.760 --> 00:43:16.840 it's it's not Golden. It comes down to me between 870 00:43:16.920 --> 00:43:21.440 McMillan and Benson. And I think, again this is full PPR. 871 00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:25.119 I think I leaned towards McMillan. He practiced yesterday, Did 872 00:43:25.119 --> 00:43:27.400 he practice today? I think he practiced today. He did 873 00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.880 not practice yesterday with the with the calf issue, which 874 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:33.559 I know is always, you know, a difficult thing to to, 875 00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:36.679 you know, to try to assess when you're looking into, 876 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.079 you know, how successful a player is going to be 877 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:42.519 that week. But I think I would rank a McMillan, Benson, 878 00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:45.920 Golden o'lave. Here it's close between Golden o'lave as well. 879 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:46.920 This is a good problem to have. 880 00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:51.280 Yeah, I think of picking one, it's clearly McMillan or Benson. 881 00:43:51.360 --> 00:43:55.320 This is another one where my first instinct was pretty 882 00:43:55.320 --> 00:43:59.159 clearly McMillan. But we do have Benson higher once again, 883 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:01.639 so I guess, I guess maybe you have to go 884 00:44:01.719 --> 00:44:04.800 trade Benson. Although honestly, with how good McMillan's looked, I 885 00:44:04.840 --> 00:44:06.960 know the passing offense as a whole has looked a 886 00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:10.039 little bit rough at times, but I I'd have a 887 00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:12.639 really tough time benching Teedoro McMillan. 888 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:20.599 War Eagle. Should I trade Nico Collins for Saquon Barkley. 889 00:44:21.079 --> 00:44:23.519 This is one of those classic questions. Jack. It depends 890 00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:26.719 what you're running back and receiver. You know, situation looks 891 00:44:26.800 --> 00:44:30.880 like right in a vacuum, I think I'd rather have 892 00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:32.679 Collins over Barkley. Your thoughts. 893 00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:36.360 It definitely comes down the way you need more. I 894 00:44:36.400 --> 00:44:41.480 think I lean Barkley over Nico. With how poor the 895 00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:44.360 Texans offense has looked, I know that the Eagles offense 896 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.760 for the most part, has not looked super inspiring you. 897 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.280 But we're still talking about a guy who just coming 898 00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:53.039 off a historic season. So I'm not moving off Saquon 899 00:44:53.079 --> 00:44:54.159 Barkley that quickly. 900 00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.280 The Cowboys are not only going to be having their 901 00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:00.880 hands full with the Green Bay offense on Sunday Night, 902 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:03.800 Football Jack, They're gonna have their hands full with the 903 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:07.079 Green Bay defense without at least we think we believe 904 00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.920 without Ceedee Lamb, who did not practice yesterday. I assume 905 00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:13.760 he did not practice today. It's wild because you know, 906 00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:17.000 he's been diagnosed and reported as a high ankle sprain, 907 00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:19.320 and yet he has not been ruled out these high 908 00:45:19.320 --> 00:45:21.639 ankle sprains. We normally think it's like a month, month 909 00:45:21.679 --> 00:45:24.159 and a half, and yet we're hanging on pins and 910 00:45:24.199 --> 00:45:26.039 needles whether Jerry Jones is gonna let us know if 911 00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:29.440 Lamb practice, like he's not gonna play Sunday Night. In 912 00:45:29.519 --> 00:45:32.079 the case that he does not practice or does not 913 00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:36.280 play on Sunday Night, is there another guy besides Pickens, 914 00:45:36.320 --> 00:45:40.559 besides Ferguson that you can look out flexing, look at Flexing, 915 00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:46.679 Cavante Turpin, Jalen Tolbert probably the most likely candidates. Maybe 916 00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:50.639 the question is not oh, who do I start between 917 00:45:50.679 --> 00:45:53.000 those two guys. Maybe the question is, if you only 918 00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.639 have one roster spot, who's the right guy to roster 919 00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:58.840 on your team that you can deploy out as a 920 00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:01.599 flex when the buys hit next week when Ceedee Lamb, 921 00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:03.880 you know again we think will not be playing for 922 00:46:03.920 --> 00:46:04.320 a while. 923 00:46:04.960 --> 00:46:07.199 Yeah, if I only had one roster spot, it would 924 00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:10.199 be Cavante Turpin. I think Tolbert's gonna play more. I 925 00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.239 think he's I think the Cowboys probably see him as 926 00:46:13.239 --> 00:46:16.039 a more traditional wide receiver and like sticking him in 927 00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.559 the role vacated by Lamb. But I think we've kind 928 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:21.840 of seen what Jalen Tolbert is at this point, whereas 929 00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:25.199 we haven't really seen the upside of uh of a 930 00:46:25.239 --> 00:46:27.760 Cavante Turpin. He's really explosive with the ball in the sands. 931 00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.679 We know that from his time returning kicks, and he's 932 00:46:30.679 --> 00:46:33.960 been a really strong target earner throughout his career. So 933 00:46:34.039 --> 00:46:38.760 I don't think he's anything resembling a fantasy starter right now, 934 00:46:39.280 --> 00:46:41.840 but I think that he's probably worth adding and seeing 935 00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:43.639 if he can grow into more of a full time role, 936 00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:46.599 And maybe you surp Tulbert for that second outside wide 937 00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:47.920 receiver role with lamb Out. 938 00:46:48.800 --> 00:46:51.239 You know, normally I wouldn't bring stuff like this up, 939 00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:55.039 But when you have a defense as bad as Dallas's is, 940 00:46:55.519 --> 00:46:59.320 and when you are when you have an offense, seemingly 941 00:46:59.360 --> 00:47:01.280 that's his talent as the Cowboys, and I know they're 942 00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:03.800 missing Booker their guard for a while, which is obviously 943 00:47:03.800 --> 00:47:06.199 gonna hurt Javonte Williams, who's been very, very good this year. 944 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.679 Prescott's accomplished quarterback. Ferguson and Pickens are legit weapons at 945 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:14.719 their respective positions. When you talk about players, are a 946 00:47:14.719 --> 00:47:17.519 team that can be in shootouts week after week after week. 947 00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.079 Turpin and versus Tolbert, I think is an interesting discussion 948 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:22.960 to have as far as which one you want a 949 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:26.159 roster and deploy him whoever that player is in the 950 00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:29.519 right situations here as well, n seven to one to 951 00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:33.280 two hockey, Hey, guys, would you start Sam Donald tonight 952 00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:37.400 or Matthew Stafford on Sunday? This is the question that 953 00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:41.360 is facing him. Donald obviously facing the Cardinals tonight. Matthew 954 00:47:41.400 --> 00:47:46.559 Stafford is at home against the Colts on Sunday. Donald v. Stafford. 955 00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.920 I lean towards old coyote and say Stafford here and 956 00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.440 actually I should bring this up right now too. I 957 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:59.960 said I had breaking news before on a on a 958 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.679 stud receiver, and that receiver was Devonte Adams, and I'm 959 00:48:02.679 --> 00:48:06.079 trying to find it. Adam schefter Jack Miller has said 960 00:48:06.159 --> 00:48:09.559 for a second straight day, Davante Adams did not practice 961 00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:12.800 due to a hamstring injury. So we have to keep 962 00:48:12.840 --> 00:48:16.119 that into take that into account when we say whether 963 00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:21.360 we're gonna play Stafford or Donald. I am concerned about Adams, 964 00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.559 a guy who's on the wrong side of thirty, who's 965 00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:26.320 dealing with a soft tissue injury and specifically a muscle 966 00:48:26.360 --> 00:48:29.079 that can be tricky for wide receivers. If he doesn't 967 00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:33.320 practice tomorrow, this is a problem and a bigger problem 968 00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:35.679 for N seven to one to two hockey. He's got 969 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.320 to make this decision tonight. Is he benching Stafford for 970 00:48:38.440 --> 00:48:40.760 Donald against the Cardinals on Thursday Night Football? 971 00:48:41.559 --> 00:48:45.159 I'm going Stafford there. I do think it's right to 972 00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.480 be a little concerned on Devonte Adams. You never like 973 00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.360 to see a Thursday hamstring DMP from an older wide receiver. 974 00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:54.320 But I think even if DeVante doesn't play, I think 975 00:48:54.360 --> 00:48:56.960 I still even lean Stafford. I just think that there's 976 00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.000 much more scoring upside in that game than Donald who 977 00:49:00.199 --> 00:49:04.440 kind of lean on this Seahawks defense a little bit 978 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:07.960 against the Cardinals offense that has not been as high 979 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.199 flying as the Colts, which is not something I thought 980 00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:11.719 I'd say three weeks ago. 981 00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:12.840 But here we are. 982 00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:16.599 I want to We had a ton rolling in on 983 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:20.280 twitch right now. Brawley six one nine yo yo start 984 00:49:20.360 --> 00:49:23.719 Kyron Williams, Omari and Hampton or Jordan Mason. Here's a 985 00:49:23.760 --> 00:49:27.320 fun little twist, non PPR. We don't often see these questions, 986 00:49:27.440 --> 00:49:30.480 but we get it tonight. Hampton at the Giants, Kyron 987 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:33.039 Williams at home against the Colts, and then the other 988 00:49:33.079 --> 00:49:37.800 one was Jordan Mason, who was at Pittsburgh technically at 989 00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:41.800 Dublin against the Steelers. Uh PSA, get your lineup set 990 00:49:41.840 --> 00:49:44.559 early with for that nine thirty am Eastern time kickoff 991 00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:47.559 on Sunday. God, you gotta bench one of these guys. 992 00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:52.119 I like them all. Maybe with Blake Korum eating into 993 00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:56.840 the volume for the Rams, you bench Kien Williams here. 994 00:49:56.880 --> 00:49:59.519 I think that's what my instinct is telling me. Ampton 995 00:49:59.519 --> 00:50:01.840 doesn't have to deal with Harris Mason doesn't have to 996 00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:03.760 lead to deal with Joanes, So I think I might 997 00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:05.320 sit Kyrien Williams here. Jack. 998 00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:07.199 Yeah. 999 00:50:07.280 --> 00:50:09.519 I mean, if this is your decision, you're probably in 1000 00:50:09.559 --> 00:50:12.920 pretty good shape regardless of who you start. I think 1001 00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:16.519 I leen Jordan Mason in non PPR. I just think 1002 00:50:16.559 --> 00:50:19.239 the rushing is the rushing workload. It's going to be 1003 00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.280 so good with Carson Wentz under center. They're going to 1004 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.159 really lean on Mason, and he's looked really effective so far. 1005 00:50:25.960 --> 00:50:28.199 But if if you had to sit one of them, 1006 00:50:28.199 --> 00:50:29.239 because he can start to. 1007 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:30.440 I can start too. 1008 00:50:30.599 --> 00:50:30.960 Yeah. 1009 00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:35.639 I'm probably Mason and Hampton as well. Hampton should be 1010 00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:40.519 pretty close to maybe like ninety plus percent snaps, which 1011 00:50:40.559 --> 00:50:42.760 is something we so rarely see at the running back position. 1012 00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.960 But with Hassan Haskins this is direct backup. I think 1013 00:50:45.960 --> 00:50:47.159 that he could really flirt with that. 1014 00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:50.679 So the next one we have is from drunk Goldfish 1015 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.239 double Low on Twitch. He's got to pick one of 1016 00:50:54.280 --> 00:50:57.480 these players. Trade Benson, Calvin Ridley, or Jerry Judy. Jerry 1017 00:50:57.559 --> 00:51:01.039 Judy obviously at the Lions, trade Benson tonight against the 1018 00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:05.039 against the Seahawks, and Calvin Ridley. To me, who's at 1019 00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:08.880 the Texans unplayable right now? This is Benson, and I 1020 00:51:08.920 --> 00:51:10.360 don't I don't think twice about it. 1021 00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:12.119 Yep, I'm with you. 1022 00:51:12.280 --> 00:51:14.280 This is the first time where I don't have to 1023 00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:16.880 look at the projections to tell me Trey Benson this is. 1024 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:18.320 This is pretty clearly Benson. 1025 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:22.920 I can't Jack. I can't remember if we answered this before. 1026 00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.559 We may have, but Derek Abreu has a chance to 1027 00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:30.320 start Trey Benson tonight or Chewba Hubbard. This is PPR. 1028 00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:33.320 I would say Benson over Hubbard here. I think that's 1029 00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.239 what I said before as well. 1030 00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:37.400 Yeah, I think Benson. 1031 00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:41.239 Okay, and then our Highland on YouTube. This is another 1032 00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.599 Vikings question. Do you think that Jordan Mason is going 1033 00:51:44.679 --> 00:51:48.400 to relinquish touches when Aaron Jones returns, and if if so, 1034 00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:51.039 does it go anywhere close to a split? I lean 1035 00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:53.360 back to what we were talking about all off season 1036 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:55.519 that this was always going to be a split between 1037 00:51:55.639 --> 00:51:59.280 Jones and between Mason, given the what the draft capital 1038 00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:03.000 that the Vikings gave up and then obviously signed Jordan 1039 00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:06.639 Mason to that contract extension as well. So yeah, I 1040 00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.559 think it's very close to a split. I think Mason 1041 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:11.239 gets more of the rushing carries. I think Aaron Jones 1042 00:52:11.239 --> 00:52:14.159 gets more of the passing catches as it were, and 1043 00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.159 we go back to how it was in Week one 1044 00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:18.719 and week two. I don't think there's any reason for 1045 00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:20.280 me to believe it's gonna be any different. 1046 00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:24.400 Yep, I'm with you. I don't think they're gonna just 1047 00:52:24.519 --> 00:52:26.880 banish Aaron Jones to a handcuff roll a lot. I 1048 00:52:26.920 --> 00:52:30.480 don't think that makes much sense, even if Mason is 1049 00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:33.840 the superior rusher at this point, which he might be. 1050 00:52:33.920 --> 00:52:36.079 I mean, Jones still ran very well last year, but 1051 00:52:36.159 --> 00:52:39.559 Jones is definitely the superior pass catcher, so I think 1052 00:52:39.599 --> 00:52:42.920 it makes sense to keep both involved once Jones is back. 1053 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:46.599 Chance F twenty thousand again. Tight End Question, Sam Laporta 1054 00:52:46.719 --> 00:52:49.599 or the resurgent Dalton kin Kaid. Nate pol Volt from 1055 00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:52.280 Optimus Fantasy co hosted this show with me last week, 1056 00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:55.159 and we were basically talking about how we've given up 1057 00:52:55.199 --> 00:52:58.480 on Kinkaid. He's a sit even in tight end Premium. 1058 00:52:58.559 --> 00:53:00.840 He's got to show us something first, well, Jack show 1059 00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:03.800 us something he did, because Kinkaid had the best game 1060 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:07.599 of his season so far last week, maybe his best 1061 00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:09.960 game in the last two years, and now all of 1062 00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:12.920 a sudden it is a question about Laporta versus Kinkaid. 1063 00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:16.679 Laporta at home against the Browns Kinkaid obviously in the 1064 00:53:16.840 --> 00:53:20.840 massive favorites, or playing on the Bills, who are massive 1065 00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:24.880 favorites at home against the Saints. I'm a weak man. 1066 00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:27.599 I can't make the call to start Kinkaid over Laporta. 1067 00:53:27.679 --> 00:53:29.480 So I still rolle with Laporta here. 1068 00:53:30.360 --> 00:53:30.920 Yeah, I'm with you. 1069 00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:32.760 I know it's a tough matchup for Laporta against the 1070 00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:35.599 Browns defense that's playing awesome, But I think this Detroit 1071 00:53:35.719 --> 00:53:37.880 offense is so good that it's still going to be 1072 00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:40.639 able to move the ball and score points. Kinkaid definitely 1073 00:53:40.679 --> 00:53:43.280 has touchdown upside again in this matchup against the Saints. 1074 00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:45.719 For their massive favorites. I mean, the Bills are going 1075 00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:48.199 to be super efficient on offense, but there is a 1076 00:53:48.199 --> 00:53:51.679 big pass voguing question. I mean, they're seventeen sixteen point favorites. 1077 00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.800 If they get up fourteen and a half, we might 1078 00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.599 not see many second half pass attempts. 1079 00:53:57.760 --> 00:53:59.440 So I like Laporta here. 1080 00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:05.920 The conversation about Amari and Hampton that we've had tonight 1081 00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:08.599 has mostly been like, you know, starter sits or whatever, 1082 00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:11.199 and people you know myself included. I benched him in 1083 00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:13.039 one league where I was deep at running back last 1084 00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:15.559 week because I needed to see something first. And now 1085 00:54:15.639 --> 00:54:18.079 Naji Harris is going to be out for the year. 1086 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:22.519 Jim Harbaugh confirming that Harris has torn his achilles in 1087 00:54:22.679 --> 00:54:27.880 the Week three game against the Denver Broncos, non contact injury. 1088 00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:30.800 He's twenty seven years old. Hopefully bounces back and finds 1089 00:54:30.800 --> 00:54:32.880 a home somewhere in the NFL next year. But this 1090 00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:35.719 is this is awful guy coming off a quote unquote 1091 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:39.440 superficial eye injury in a fireworks accident on July fourth, 1092 00:54:39.760 --> 00:54:42.639 to Week three in the NFL, where he tears his achilles. 1093 00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:47.000 The question that we have to ask is not necessarily 1094 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:50.360 heys Amari and Hampton suddenly startable again. No, the question 1095 00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.199 I want to ask you, Jack, Jim Harbaugh said, Kamani 1096 00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:55.559 Vidal was the next man up. And I don't know 1097 00:54:55.599 --> 00:54:57.760 the context behind this quote, but I do know that 1098 00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:02.239 Vidal was inactive throughout the season, whereas Hassan Haskins was 1099 00:55:02.239 --> 00:55:04.880 playing in front of him. When I submitted my waiver 1100 00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:07.840 bids last night in my league's I prioritize I did not. 1101 00:55:07.880 --> 00:55:10.000 I don't know if I put in anything on Vidal, 1102 00:55:10.320 --> 00:55:13.800 but I did put in some low to modest bids 1103 00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:17.239 on Hassan Haskins. Always, you know, playing in these deep leagues, 1104 00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:18.960 you're always trying to get the guy behind the guy, 1105 00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:22.119 and Haskins, I believe is the guy behind Hampton. So 1106 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.920 if anything happens to Hampton, Haskins is going to have 1107 00:55:25.039 --> 00:55:27.840 maybe not a bellcow role, but definitely a significant role, 1108 00:55:27.920 --> 00:55:30.719 a flexible role in this Chargers team that's three and 1109 00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:33.800 oer right now looking very good. Your thoughts on Haskins 1110 00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:37.760 versus Vidal. If you can only roster one, is it Haskins? 1111 00:55:37.800 --> 00:55:41.760 And how strong you believe that that Haskins, you know, 1112 00:55:41.880 --> 00:55:46.079 would have a startable a semi startable role if anything 1113 00:55:46.079 --> 00:55:47.639 were to happen to Omari and Hampton. 1114 00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:50.320 Yeah, I saw that quote and I thought it was 1115 00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:53.199 it was pretty interesting given that Haskins had been the 1116 00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:57.880 one who is actually active. I prefer Haskins for that reason. 1117 00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:00.360 That being said, if Hampton were to go down, I 1118 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:02.760 think it would be a little hard to have much 1119 00:56:02.800 --> 00:56:06.800 confidence in Haskins as a long term option. The Harbaugh 1120 00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.360 also said in that press conference, I believe that the 1121 00:56:09.440 --> 00:56:11.639 Traders want to look into adding more running back help, 1122 00:56:12.880 --> 00:56:14.760 so that I think that's something to be aware of 1123 00:56:14.840 --> 00:56:16.920 with Hampton and definitely something to be aware of with 1124 00:56:16.960 --> 00:56:19.920 both Haskins and vit All that if Hampton goes down, 1125 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:23.320 I think they have to add a running back. I 1126 00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:26.679 do think Haskins is the one two roster though, given 1127 00:56:26.719 --> 00:56:29.039 that he's been active. I just think that if Hampton 1128 00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:31.639 goes down, I don't think the upside is a top 1129 00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:34.480 twenty running back. I think he's someone who maybe you 1130 00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:35.480 could start in the flex. 1131 00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:38.880 I want to get to a couple more things before 1132 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:44.079 we get into our Thursday night football preview. Here, Ezekiel Estrada, 1133 00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:47.599 Good evening, Jens, Kenneth Walker or Trade Benson tonight? He 1134 00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.719 has to start one of these guys. To me, slam dunk, 1135 00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:53.519 Zach Sharpnay active, which means it's got to be Trede 1136 00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:55.360 Benson that you start over Kenneth Walker. 1137 00:56:56.360 --> 00:56:59.599 Yeah, I'm with you. Srebrene full practice all week. I 1138 00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:02.239 could maybe he's a little limited, but we know Tray 1139 00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:03.920 Benson is not going to be limited. We know that 1140 00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:06.039 it's his backfield now with Conra out, so it's Benson 1141 00:57:06.119 --> 00:57:06.320 for me. 1142 00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:10.519 Did the Cleveland Browns running back situation get a lot cleaner. 1143 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:15.199 After the Packers game last week, Quinchawn Judkins jack eighteen carries, 1144 00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:17.679 ninety four yards, he gets into the end zone, he 1145 00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:20.280 caught a pass for one yard, so granted he wasn't 1146 00:57:20.280 --> 00:57:23.360 heavily involved there. We know Jerome Ford has still been 1147 00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:27.760 out there in you know, two minute situations, passing down situations. 1148 00:57:27.960 --> 00:57:31.440 Dylan Samson still coming up the works. But Quinchawn Judkins, 1149 00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:34.239 the fact that this guy missed all of training camp, 1150 00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:37.199 all of preseason, and you know, in his second or 1151 00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.440 third game or whatever it is, he's getting eighteen carries. 1152 00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:42.639 I wonder what this guy is capable of with proper preparation. 1153 00:57:42.719 --> 00:57:44.000 I've been pretty impressed so far. 1154 00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.920 Yeah I was. I was honestly totally shocked at how 1155 00:57:47.920 --> 00:57:51.199 they used him in week two, immediately making him. I 1156 00:57:51.199 --> 00:57:53.199 think he had ten of twenty running back carries in 1157 00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:56.039 week two, even though he had two practices in the 1158 00:57:56.079 --> 00:57:58.719 previous two months, which I thought that was super impresive. 1159 00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.920 I thought Week three was equally pressive when he had 1160 00:58:01.119 --> 00:58:04.679 eighteen of nineteen running back carries for the Browns. Like 1161 00:58:04.719 --> 00:58:06.719 you said, Jerome Ford's still getting all the pass down 1162 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.519 so that kind of limits Judkins upside a little bit, 1163 00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:13.239 but I think it's very clear that they viewed Judkins 1164 00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:15.519 as their running back of the future. I think the 1165 00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:19.119 next question is how much is that actually worth to 1166 00:58:19.199 --> 00:58:21.719 be the RB one for the Cleveland Browns. Joe Flacco 1167 00:58:21.920 --> 00:58:24.400 is the starter for now, but once they go to 1168 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:27.519 Dylan Gabriel or even shud Or Sanders, I think this 1169 00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:30.559 offense could be really ugly. I think Judkins should still 1170 00:58:30.599 --> 00:58:33.920 be in line for basically all of the carries, because 1171 00:58:33.920 --> 00:58:37.159 that's what they've indicated so far. But fifteen carries on 1172 00:58:37.199 --> 00:58:39.239 a team that's not gonna score a lot of points 1173 00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:42.360 in a minimal passing game role isn't all that enticing 1174 00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:42.960 for fantasy. 1175 00:58:43.760 --> 00:58:46.559 The last thing I want to bring up is Brian 1176 00:58:46.599 --> 00:58:49.119 Dables saying that Tyrone Tracy is expected to miss a 1177 00:58:49.159 --> 00:58:53.719 few weeks. Very interesting that Tyrone Tracy started that Week 1178 00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:58.320 three game, and even though Scattabo really Scatubu really came 1179 00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:01.159 on in week two. Now you can't fight, you know, 1180 00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:06.440 Dable can't can't screw us up with Tyrone Tracy anymore. 1181 00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:10.039 It's skataboo show. I did put in some meager bids 1182 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.320 on Devin Singletary just to get the guy behind the 1183 00:59:12.320 --> 00:59:14.440 guy in New York for some of my deeper leagues. 1184 00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:18.519 But this is very exciting for Camp Scattaboo, and quite frankly, 1185 00:59:19.360 --> 00:59:21.920 when I'm looking at my lineups on Saturday and Sunday morning, 1186 00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:24.880 I feel like I'm breaking ties in favor of Skataboo 1187 00:59:24.960 --> 00:59:27.119 as my flex or as my second running back here, 1188 00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.159 especially with Jackson Dart. This is this is really really 1189 00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:32.400 cool to see. I'm pumped for Skataboo here. 1190 00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:35.840 Yeah, I think Scatuboy is definitely a fantasy starter in 1191 00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:38.880 Week four. I think Singletary is going to have some involvement. 1192 00:59:38.920 --> 00:59:42.360 I don't think Brian day Ball wants Scataboo playing ninety 1193 00:59:42.360 --> 00:59:44.639 percent of snaps like we might see with with some 1194 00:59:44.719 --> 00:59:47.599 of these hir end guys like Campton. As we mentioned previously, 1195 00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:50.239 I think Singletary is still gonna play. But I think 1196 00:59:50.280 --> 00:59:53.760 Scattaboy is gonna be the favorite in all situations. I 1197 00:59:53.760 --> 00:59:55.760 think early downs, light down skull line, I think he's 1198 00:59:55.760 --> 00:59:59.360 gonna be I think he's gonna have an edge over 1199 00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:02.440 Singletary in all three fatts. I think they trust both 1200 01:00:02.519 --> 01:00:04.360 running backs and all three facets, so I don't think 1201 01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:06.480 that it's it's going to be a twenty touch tritcload 1202 01:00:06.480 --> 01:00:09.360 for Scatabu. But I think he's a fantasy starter. 1203 01:00:09.599 --> 01:00:11.760 Yeah, definitely a fantasy storry, especially when you get flex 1204 01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:14.960 out to count of two spots in the FFPC. Not 1205 01:00:15.000 --> 01:00:16.800 only can you do that on a season long basis, 1206 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:18.400 you can do it in the weekly challenge. The f 1207 01:00:18.400 --> 01:00:21.519 FPC Week four Weekly Challenge Live at my ffpc dot 1208 01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.239 com went up to twenty five hundred dollars, no draft, 1209 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:27.760 no salary cap, just picked ten or twelve players whoever 1210 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:29.800 you want on your team. Just can't have multiple players 1211 01:00:29.840 --> 01:00:32.559 from the same team. My FFPC dot com is where 1212 01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:35.320 to go for that. We will take a very short break. 1213 01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.000 We'll be back in about a minute and a half 1214 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:40.039 with our Thursday night football preview. We've talked about a 1215 01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:42.079 lot of these players, but some of them we haven't 1216 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:46.280 talked about. Tory Horton, Elijah Arroyo and FFPC tight end 1217 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:49.079 premium leagues. What about a Mario de Marcado as far 1218 01:00:49.079 --> 01:00:52.039 as rostering him with James Connor out for the year, 1219 01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:55.119 And we'll talk more about Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison and 1220 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:58.159 both defenses tonight, he's Jack Millin from Established the Run 1221 01:00:58.159 --> 01:01:01.360 on Eric Balkman. The FFPC Insider Access show rolls on 1222 01:01:01.519 --> 01:01:02.079 right after this. 1223 01:01:02.800 --> 01:01:06.079 Folks, let me talk to you about my favorite weekly 1224 01:01:06.159 --> 01:01:08.920 platform to play on. You know, we all play Dynasty 1225 01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:11.719 and we all play Redraft, but we got to find 1226 01:01:11.719 --> 01:01:15.880 someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC Weekly Challenge is 1227 01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:18.840 my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of 1228 01:01:19.079 --> 01:01:22.519 the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a 1229 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:25.719 draft to make a team, or even having to play 1230 01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.079 against these people that are stacking up the same team, 1231 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.639 stacking up certain games and you feel like you have 1232 01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:32.599 to put in a million entries or or have to 1233 01:01:32.639 --> 01:01:35.079 have those certain stacks to win, then come play over 1234 01:01:35.119 --> 01:01:39.119 at FFPC. Really, the only main rule that you have 1235 01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:41.800 to deal with is that you cannot select multiple players 1236 01:01:41.840 --> 01:01:43.960 from the same team. I'm going out and I'm trying 1237 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:46.320 to find the best of the best of the best 1238 01:01:46.320 --> 01:01:48.719 players and put them into a lineup, and that's what 1239 01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:51.559 you can do over at my FFPC. You can go 1240 01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:54.599 out and you can take the number one running back 1241 01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:58.000 in Bijon Robinson, and you can also have Sakwon Barkley 1242 01:01:58.000 --> 01:01:59.559 as long as they're not on the same team. You 1243 01:01:59.599 --> 01:02:01.599 can put the i'm all into a lineup right, and 1244 01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:04.480 there's four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility. 1245 01:02:04.880 --> 01:02:07.840 There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses, 1246 01:02:07.960 --> 01:02:11.280 one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a 1247 01:02:11.280 --> 01:02:13.159 bunch of different price points. You can play out thirty 1248 01:02:13.159 --> 01:02:16.119 five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy 1249 01:02:16.199 --> 01:02:18.599 in and you're going out and you're just picking the 1250 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:21.599 absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of 1251 01:02:21.639 --> 01:02:23.920 a sleeper. There's somebody that you think can really blow 1252 01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:26.280 up that week. And that's how it works.

Getting into our 1269 01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:16.039 Thursday night football preview here tonight with the Seahawks and Cardinals. 1270 01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:18.320 As I'm trying to bring up my prime video right 1271 01:03:18.360 --> 01:03:21.320 now talking with Jack Miller at Jack Miller's zero two 1272 01:03:21.880 --> 01:03:24.679 on the X of course, established the run's own Jack 1273 01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:27.320 that I you know, this is a silly thing for 1274 01:03:27.360 --> 01:03:29.599 me to bring up. I always ask about Twitter handles. 1275 01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:34.599 You're the second Jack Miller, Jack Miller zero two. Was 1276 01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.320 Jack Miller double O taken? Double ow or excuse me, 1277 01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:40.440 zero one taken? What's the zero two mean at the end. 1278 01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:43.000 Yeah, So, as you can imagine, there's there's a lot 1279 01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:45.280 of Jack Miller's out there. It's not the most unique name, 1280 01:03:45.639 --> 01:03:47.639 and so I tried to go with Jack Miller zero 1281 01:03:47.679 --> 01:03:49.719 one because I was born in two thousand and one, 1282 01:03:50.039 --> 01:03:52.800 got it, But that was taken, and so I kind 1283 01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:55.519 of just went up one. 1284 01:03:55.719 --> 01:03:58.440 Zero two and sometimes it's that easy, and it's that 1285 01:03:58.519 --> 01:04:02.679 simple to understand. Here, let's get into our our our 1286 01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.679 Thursday night football preview. Here, mister bakes a Lot is 1287 01:04:06.679 --> 01:04:08.880 going to lead us off with a starter sick question here. 1288 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:13.599 He's got a choice between Trevion Henderson and Zach Sharbona tonight. 1289 01:04:14.000 --> 01:04:17.920 I don't like either one of these guys tonight at all, 1290 01:04:18.039 --> 01:04:21.800 quite frankly, Jack, but I understand, you know the situation 1291 01:04:21.920 --> 01:04:25.960 that he might be in with the fumbles to Stevenson 1292 01:04:26.199 --> 01:04:30.159 and Gibson last week. I think the choice should be 1293 01:04:30.239 --> 01:04:33.320 Henderson here for both New England and for mister bakes 1294 01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:37.719 a Lot. But with Rabel and McDaniel not liking to 1295 01:04:37.719 --> 01:04:41.119 play rookies, I just I don't know, man, I really 1296 01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:43.159 don't know what to expect from Henderson now. I know 1297 01:04:43.400 --> 01:04:46.000 after the fumble by Gibson he was getting a ton 1298 01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:50.800 of snaps late. So maybe it's it's Henderson over over 1299 01:04:50.920 --> 01:04:54.039 sharbon Ay tonight. But I apologize, mister bakes a Lot, 1300 01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:55.760 I don't have a really good answer for you here. 1301 01:04:56.639 --> 01:04:59.400 Yeah, I think it's Henderson. I also think the floor 1302 01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:02.840 on both of these guys is really low. We've seen 1303 01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:07.360 before the Ramandre and Antonio Gibson fumbles that the Patriots 1304 01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:10.400 were basically shooting hit Henderson like their every three last week. 1305 01:05:10.760 --> 01:05:13.320 So the floor is low if they just go back 1306 01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:16.400 into that rotation. And then for Sureburney obviously he missed 1307 01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:18.400 last week. I don't think he's gonna be super limited 1308 01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:21.239 since he fully practiced the entire week. But there's always 1309 01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:23.280 some risk with guys coming back from injury that they 1310 01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:25.599 get eased in a little bit. So I think the 1311 01:05:25.639 --> 01:05:29.039 floor is really low. I think Henderson has probably a 1312 01:05:29.119 --> 01:05:30.960 higher ceiling if they do decide to give him this 1313 01:05:31.039 --> 01:05:34.519 backfield in a perfect matchup against this Carolina defense. 1314 01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:41.079 The Seattle offense is what I want to talk about here. First, 1315 01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:46.159 Donald has really started to come alive the last week 1316 01:05:46.280 --> 01:05:50.480 or two. He's gotten progressively better. I think he's rosterble. 1317 01:05:50.559 --> 01:05:53.239 I'm actually starting him in a league over Jake Browning, 1318 01:05:53.280 --> 01:05:56.199 where my only quarterback prior to week three was Joe Burrow, 1319 01:05:56.480 --> 01:05:59.119 which I screwed that up there, so I picked up 1320 01:05:59.159 --> 01:06:02.159 Donald this week. I'm playing him over Browning, but I 1321 01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:05.039 think he's more of a super flex play. My concern 1322 01:06:05.199 --> 01:06:08.199 with Donald this year coming in was like, was this 1323 01:06:08.239 --> 01:06:10.840 guy just the Kevin O'Connell product. Was Was he a 1324 01:06:10.840 --> 01:06:13.800 product of Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockinson, all the 1325 01:06:13.840 --> 01:06:16.800 Aaron Jones and all these guys, And the fact that 1326 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.719 he gets Jackson Smith and Jigbub to lean on and 1327 01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:22.159 I think has been really really good for him. Your 1328 01:06:22.159 --> 01:06:24.599 long term outlook on Donald Is this a guy that 1329 01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:27.519 could threaten being a top fifteen quarterback this year or 1330 01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:29.440 is he buried into like top twenty five. 1331 01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:32.840 I wouldn't go as far as top twenty five. I 1332 01:06:32.880 --> 01:06:34.440 don't think he's quite top fifteen. 1333 01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:35.519 I know it was. 1334 01:06:35.760 --> 01:06:38.480 He had a really good last week that was also 1335 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:42.079 against the Saints, and I think that in an ideal world, 1336 01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:45.119 this offense still wants to lean on the run. So 1337 01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:49.039 I think Donald is like a serviceable QB two, But 1338 01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:51.639 I don't think he's a guy i'd feel awesome trotting 1339 01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:52.920 out in one quarterback leagues. 1340 01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:55.639 Yeah, no, trust me. I feel really crappy about it. 1341 01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:59.800 I don't like starting Donald the night at all. This 1342 01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:03.360 is this is my whole thing, Like I hate quarterbacks 1343 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:06.519 against single quarterback leagues unless I'm getting a really elite guy, 1344 01:07:06.519 --> 01:07:08.159 and then I feel like I don't need a backup, 1345 01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:10.719 and clearly, when you have Joe Burrow, you need a backup, 1346 01:07:10.760 --> 01:07:12.800 and I didn't do that. So now it's going to 1347 01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:14.719 be on the arm of Sam Darnold to try to 1348 01:07:14.719 --> 01:07:17.880 carry me to victory in week four. The backfield that 1349 01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:20.039 will be behind him Kenneth Walker and Zach Scharbonay. We 1350 01:07:20.119 --> 01:07:22.800 talked a lot about these guys tonight. Kenneth Walker had 1351 01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:25.000 the backfield to himself last week, and obviously the two 1352 01:07:25.000 --> 01:07:28.320 touchdowns helped, but he was very inefficient with his touches. 1353 01:07:28.760 --> 01:07:32.079 Sharbon Ay comes back tonight, He's active. I would imagine 1354 01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:35.119 that he has a significant role. Can you make the 1355 01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:38.000 case in the right situation, not necessarily that you'd have 1356 01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:40.320 both these guys on the same team, Jack, but if 1357 01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.559 you had them on separate teams. Are they both flexible tonight? 1358 01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:48.239 I think Walker is a lot more flexible than Charbonnet. 1359 01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:50.559 Just with Strabonet coming off the injury, I think the 1360 01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:54.239 floor is pretty low. I wouldn't feel awesome about either 1361 01:07:54.280 --> 01:07:56.320 of them because with Walker you do still have the 1362 01:07:56.360 --> 01:07:59.239 fact that Sharboney was ahead in pretty much every usage 1363 01:07:59.280 --> 01:08:02.079 metric during the first two games. I know Walker was 1364 01:08:02.119 --> 01:08:06.480 more effective during those two games. But I mean it's 1365 01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:08.400 I think it's gonna be close to a fifty to 1366 01:08:08.440 --> 01:08:12.480 fifty split again, probably Walker slightly ahead with sharbone coming 1367 01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:15.719 back from an injury. But the Seax also just have 1368 01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:18.119 not thrown the ball to running backs like we're used 1369 01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:20.960 to seeing last year. I don't have their exac running 1370 01:08:20.960 --> 01:08:24.439 back target chair off hand, but it was above league 1371 01:08:24.479 --> 01:08:27.760 average this year. Zach Scharbney doesn't have a target yet, 1372 01:08:27.800 --> 01:08:29.560 even though he's played quite a bit. 1373 01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.119 Kenneth w that's mind boggling, by the way. 1374 01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:37.039 Yeah, it's crazy. And Kenneth Walker had zero targets last week. 1375 01:08:37.800 --> 01:08:40.039 George Hallani I think had a couple of targets, but 1376 01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:42.800 they came from Drew Locke. So I mean, so far 1377 01:08:42.880 --> 01:08:45.720 when Sam Darnold has been the quarterback, this offense just 1378 01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:48.359 has not thrown to running bcks verty much and that's 1379 01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:51.640 obviously pretty bad news for both of them. 1380 01:08:51.880 --> 01:08:55.000 Uh starter sick question here from mister bakes a lot. 1381 01:08:55.079 --> 01:08:57.359 This is full PPR. He's got to sit one of 1382 01:08:57.359 --> 01:09:01.399 these guys, Zach Sharmoney Brail and Allen or Tyler Algier. 1383 01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:03.760 You have to sit one of these guys for me. 1384 01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:06.159 I think it's Brailen Allen Jack. 1385 01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:10.479 I think it is too obviously you know this, but 1386 01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:13.000 the floor is is really low for for all these 1387 01:09:13.039 --> 01:09:16.039 all of these guys, I think Srebn is the most 1388 01:09:16.119 --> 01:09:20.520 gamescript proof. Braylan Allen and Algier we've seen really have 1389 01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:23.640 their snaps got down in negative game script. I think 1390 01:09:23.680 --> 01:09:29.359 that's more of an issue with the Jets, So it's 1391 01:09:29.399 --> 01:09:30.359 and Braylan. 1392 01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:34.720 Allen for me, has the the the dustiness of perhaps 1393 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:37.680 the non usage from Alvin Kamara that you've seen so far. 1394 01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:40.960 Is that enough for you to say Trey Benson over 1395 01:09:41.039 --> 01:09:44.159 Kamara tonight, because that's what JJ Keats is facing right now. 1396 01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:46.560 Got to figure out whether Tred Benson or Alvin Kamara 1397 01:09:46.640 --> 01:09:47.840 is the smartest start in Week four. 1398 01:09:48.680 --> 01:09:53.079 I think it's Benson. Kamara just uncharacteristically has not gotten 1399 01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:56.760 targets so far. Game script should keep the Saints from 1400 01:09:56.800 --> 01:09:59.800 getting too many like team running back carrys, and gamescript 1401 01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:02.560 could also get Kamara out of the game early. There's 1402 01:10:02.600 --> 01:10:04.960 just some risk of a quick hook if the Saints. 1403 01:10:05.279 --> 01:10:07.119 If things really go south for the Saints, which with 1404 01:10:07.239 --> 01:10:10.039 a sixteen and a half point spread it very easily could. 1405 01:10:10.880 --> 01:10:15.640 Benson seems more insured in his role. He's gonna get carries, 1406 01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:18.960 He's gonna get targets, even if de Marcado plays. 1407 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:22.079 A little bit of the passing Dounes. I like Benson here. 1408 01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:25.600 Dare I say as Alvin Kamara finally I losing a 1409 01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:28.199 step could be per Mar ninety nine saying Kamara has 1410 01:10:28.239 --> 01:10:30.840 lost juice out of his brace. That could be a possibility. 1411 01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:33.279 The other one that I want to get to here 1412 01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:37.159 fly Nelly Fly on Twitch, DJ Moore or Trey Benson. 1413 01:10:37.560 --> 01:10:40.399 Moore is at the Las Vegas Right Raiders here with 1414 01:10:40.399 --> 01:10:42.439 a lot of Benson questions tonight. But I'm still rolling 1415 01:10:42.439 --> 01:10:44.079 with Benson here over DJ Moore. Jack. 1416 01:10:44.720 --> 01:10:47.279 Yeah, this one's Benson for me. DJ Moore's role just 1417 01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:50.319 has not been what it has been in previous years 1418 01:10:50.319 --> 01:10:52.800 and honestly, what I expected it to be going into 1419 01:10:52.800 --> 01:10:55.760 the year. It really seems like Romodunze has taken a 1420 01:10:55.840 --> 01:10:58.199 strong grasp of the wide receiver one role. 1421 01:10:58.279 --> 01:11:00.000 So I like Benson here for sure. 1422 01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:03.319 Maybe I'm reaching on this next one, but Tory Horton 1423 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:05.760 has actually shown out here both on special teams and 1424 01:11:05.800 --> 01:11:08.560 on offense. The last couple of weeks he had no 1425 01:11:08.640 --> 01:11:11.439 targets against the Niners in Week one two for thirty 1426 01:11:11.439 --> 01:11:14.000 two in a touchdown, in Week two three, for thirty 1427 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:16.399 two in a touchdown in Week three? Am I stretching 1428 01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:19.000 to say he might be a flex tonight against Arizona. 1429 01:11:19.880 --> 01:11:22.760 I think it's a little early for Horton. I do 1430 01:11:22.880 --> 01:11:26.239 like him long term. We've seen Cooper Cup fade over 1431 01:11:26.279 --> 01:11:28.680 the second half of seasons before. He also has an 1432 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:31.279 injury history. So there's definitely a world in which Horton 1433 01:11:31.399 --> 01:11:33.520 ends up as the wide receiver too for the Seahawks 1434 01:11:33.520 --> 01:11:35.840 over the second half of the year. But right now 1435 01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:39.399 Cup is still pretty locked into that second wide receiver role, 1436 01:11:39.439 --> 01:11:41.840 I think, and so I think Horton is a good hold, 1437 01:11:41.960 --> 01:11:44.199 but probably not yet a good start. 1438 01:11:45.359 --> 01:11:48.479 Permar ninety nine, Tory is a god matter of time, boy, 1439 01:11:48.520 --> 01:11:51.560 that'd be I hope you're right for my dynasty team's sake, 1440 01:11:51.600 --> 01:11:53.439 because I got a lot of Tory Horton in the 1441 01:11:53.439 --> 01:11:55.359 fourth round of rookie drafts this year. We'll see what 1442 01:11:55.399 --> 01:11:57.920 happens there. I we'll see what happens at tight end. 1443 01:11:57.920 --> 01:12:00.399 Who would you rather roster the rest of the season. 1444 01:12:00.880 --> 01:12:03.760 Is it simply the upside play with Elijah Arroyo, or 1445 01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:06.880 would you rather take the veteran in AJ Barner who's 1446 01:12:06.880 --> 01:12:09.199 been getting out there. I guess Arroyo has been making 1447 01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:11.399 some waves a little bit the last week or two. 1448 01:12:11.720 --> 01:12:13.720 But what would you think here, Jack? Are you just 1449 01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:15.319 simply going with the upside with Arroyo. 1450 01:12:16.079 --> 01:12:18.319 Yeah, it's the upside for me, just I know Barner 1451 01:12:18.359 --> 01:12:20.479 is the better role right now, but I don't think 1452 01:12:20.520 --> 01:12:24.319 either these roles are particularly enticing, and this is kind 1453 01:12:24.359 --> 01:12:27.279 of AJ Barner's role while Arroyo is still getting his 1454 01:12:27.319 --> 01:12:31.000 feet right in the NFL. So I definitely prefer the upside, 1455 01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:34.199 which I mean it might not materialize. He's not as 1456 01:12:34.239 --> 01:12:37.479 good of a blocker as Barner, and I think the 1457 01:12:37.520 --> 01:12:40.720 Seahawks offense really values that. So I don't know about 1458 01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:43.520 the probability of Arroyo actually hitting, but if I had 1459 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:45.640 to pick one, it's it's definitely Royo, just as an 1460 01:12:45.680 --> 01:12:46.399 upside shot. 1461 01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:48.239 Yeah, for the guys in the end of your e bench, 1462 01:12:48.239 --> 01:12:50.079 you always want the upside there, So for me, it's 1463 01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:53.399 it's totally a Royo. This is an interesting one from 1464 01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:57.239 Flying Elly Fly, Tory Horton or Sterling Shepard this week. 1465 01:12:57.760 --> 01:13:00.640 I don't obviously, as you'll point out, shortly both low 1466 01:13:00.720 --> 01:13:03.039 floors here. But we don't know what's going on with Tampa. 1467 01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:05.319 Evans not expected to play. We know I BUCA is 1468 01:13:05.319 --> 01:13:07.479 stand up, and what's going on with Chris Godwin, Because 1469 01:13:07.479 --> 01:13:09.479 if he doesn't play, all of a sudden, Shepherd looks 1470 01:13:09.520 --> 01:13:11.520 a lot better. He's got to make the decision in 1471 01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:13.159 the next couple of minutes. Horton or Shepherd. 1472 01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:18.680 Jack. Yeah, I think I go Shepherd. I don't feel 1473 01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:22.079 awesome recommending sterling Shepherd in the year twenty twenty five, 1474 01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:26.439 but Evans is obviously out. Godwin didn't practice today. The 1475 01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:28.880 Bucks are saying it's precautionary, so I'm not going to 1476 01:13:28.960 --> 01:13:31.079 read too much in it up until I see his 1477 01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:34.920 practice status for tomorrow. I think he's gonna play, but 1478 01:13:35.439 --> 01:13:37.439 it was such a serious injuries miss so much time, 1479 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:40.960 I can't imagine he's anything close to a full role, 1480 01:13:41.000 --> 01:13:43.399 and he's probably not like his usual self from an 1481 01:13:43.399 --> 01:13:46.399 efficiency standpoint either. So I think Shepherd is probably the 1482 01:13:46.439 --> 01:13:49.159 wide receiver two for this Tampa offense in week four, 1483 01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:50.720 and so I go Shepherd. 1484 01:13:51.680 --> 01:13:53.680 We're coming up on kickoff here, so I want to 1485 01:13:53.680 --> 01:13:55.199 get this last thing in and then I want to 1486 01:13:55.239 --> 01:13:57.920 expand this out to some more of a wide scoping 1487 01:13:58.520 --> 01:14:02.920 questions Onyler, Murray, Marvin Harrison, Trade Benson, so on, and 1488 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:06.680 so forth. The defenses tonight for those who are looking 1489 01:14:06.720 --> 01:14:09.920 at streaming like me, and when it comes to Seattle 1490 01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:12.600 in Arizona, I actually have both of these teams going, 1491 01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:16.039 both of these defenses going in a few different leagues tonight. 1492 01:14:16.359 --> 01:14:18.039 Do you have a feeling like, what's your take on 1493 01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:20.720 starting Seattle or the Arizona defense tonight? As far as 1494 01:14:20.720 --> 01:14:22.920 streaming goes for defenses. 1495 01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:24.760 Yeah, I think both are fine. The total is not 1496 01:14:24.800 --> 01:14:28.840 too high. I prefer Seattle just because it's a better defense. 1497 01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:31.920 The Seahawks are also very small favorite, so the Panther 1498 01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:38.520 or the Colonels are implied for marginally fewer points. But yeah, 1499 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:41.079 I think both are fine in a low total game. 1500 01:14:41.079 --> 01:14:43.319 That could be kind of a slog, but I prefer 1501 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:45.720 Seattle if if I was given the option. 1502 01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:49.039 Your two screen experience is about to start, Jack and 1503 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:51.359 I will take you through the first quarter here tonight. 1504 01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:53.960 Let you know what's going on with fantasy takes on 1505 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:57.279 each and every drive and play tonight. As the Seahawks 1506 01:14:57.319 --> 01:14:59.479 and Cardinals set to kick off in just a couple 1507 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:03.000 of minutes speaking of these two teams. I think I've 1508 01:15:03.039 --> 01:15:05.279 delved into everything I want to talk about with Seattle, 1509 01:15:05.680 --> 01:15:09.119 but the Cardinals I think are conundrum right now. Man 1510 01:15:09.199 --> 01:15:12.239 Like Kyler Murray. There there's been people, it seems like 1511 01:15:12.279 --> 01:15:14.479 people in the industry, people have talked to high stakes 1512 01:15:14.479 --> 01:15:18.880 players I've talked to seemingly since twenty twenty three, they 1513 01:15:18.880 --> 01:15:21.600 have said, I'm out on Kyler Murray. I'm just done that. 1514 01:15:21.840 --> 01:15:24.079 We've seen the best of him, We've seen what he 1515 01:15:24.159 --> 01:15:26.199 can do, and I just don't envision him taking this 1516 01:15:26.279 --> 01:15:29.039 next step forward here tonight or this year. I should say. 1517 01:15:30.199 --> 01:15:32.640 Kyler Murray said before the start of the season that 1518 01:15:32.680 --> 01:15:34.119 he was going to run more this year, which I 1519 01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:36.119 think I'd have to check the stats. I think he 1520 01:15:36.159 --> 01:15:38.560 has been running a little bit more. But a lot 1521 01:15:38.640 --> 01:15:41.600 of the same stuff we've been saying about Kyler Murray 1522 01:15:41.600 --> 01:15:44.239 the last couple of years, we're saying again already in 1523 01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:47.840 twenty twenty five here in late September, is this deja 1524 01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:50.039 vous again for Kyler Murray that he's just going to 1525 01:15:50.119 --> 01:15:53.720 be this type of player that has this tannelizing upside 1526 01:15:53.720 --> 01:15:56.000 but just never seems to deliver on it. From a 1527 01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:57.560 fantasy standpoint. 1528 01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.680 Yeah, I think we know what Kyler Murray is at 1529 01:16:00.720 --> 01:16:03.520 this point, and I think it's a top twelve fantasy quarterback. 1530 01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.560 I think it's a usable fantasy quarterback and someone that 1531 01:16:06.600 --> 01:16:08.640 should be rostered in pretty much every league. But I 1532 01:16:08.640 --> 01:16:11.720 don't think he's gonna ever challenge a Lamar Jackson and 1533 01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:15.239 Josh Allen for really the upper echelon of fantasy quarterbacking. 1534 01:16:15.760 --> 01:16:17.600 With that being said, I think that's okay. Like I 1535 01:16:17.640 --> 01:16:20.880 think most of the guys around him, like Patrick Mahomes, 1536 01:16:20.920 --> 01:16:23.319 I don't think is ever gonna challenge those guys. Again, 1537 01:16:24.359 --> 01:16:26.560 I don't think Jared Goff, Like, there's so many guys 1538 01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:30.159 who are fine fantasy starters who just don't have the 1539 01:16:30.239 --> 01:16:33.560 upside to challenge the elites, just because the elites at 1540 01:16:33.600 --> 01:16:36.159 quarterback are so good now with how much they run. 1541 01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:39.239 Kyler is running a little bit more this year, or 1542 01:16:39.279 --> 01:16:41.439 at least they're designing a little more for him this year. 1543 01:16:41.760 --> 01:16:44.399 I'm not sure on the scrambles exactly, but his designed 1544 01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.520 run rate is up. So Yeah, I think Kyler's a 1545 01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.600 find fantasy starter. I don't think he has like top 1546 01:16:50.640 --> 01:16:52.880 three upside, and. 1547 01:16:52.840 --> 01:16:55.680 There's value in that as you pointed out, you know, 1548 01:16:55.840 --> 01:16:58.560 for people who like waiting on quarterbacks, who don't want 1549 01:16:58.560 --> 01:17:01.119 to invest in quarterbacks in single quarterback leagues, I think 1550 01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:03.439 Kyler Murray is a perfect quarterback to have on your team, 1551 01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:05.479 where if you don't have a better matchup this week, 1552 01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:09.079 chances are because of Mark Murray's running ability, he's going 1553 01:17:09.159 --> 01:17:11.760 to provide you with a nice fantasy floor. So that 1554 01:17:11.840 --> 01:17:16.479 makes sense there. Let's go to Marvin Harrison next, who 1555 01:17:16.600 --> 01:17:19.119 just first played from scrimmage. He catches an eight yard 1556 01:17:19.159 --> 01:17:22.319 pass from Kyler Murray. So Harrison obviously off on the 1557 01:17:22.359 --> 01:17:25.359 right foot, little wide wide receiver screen as he gets 1558 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:27.239 out of bounds, and oh my god, Jack, do you 1559 01:17:27.279 --> 01:17:29.039 have this game on right now? Are you watching this? 1560 01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:34.439 Hold on? You might be on mute or your or you're. 1561 01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:37.520 Oh sorry, I was, I was on mute. I'm not 1562 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:40.199 watching it, Okay, I don't. I don't have the TV, 1563 01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:42.760 but I have the ESPN game cast up perfect. 1564 01:17:42.960 --> 01:17:45.600 But the reason I bring this up the Cardinals are 1565 01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:49.880 wearing these all white uniforms, white helmets, red socks, and 1566 01:17:49.960 --> 01:17:53.880 the Cardinals it's got this beautiful tinge of like red 1567 01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:56.520 and orange, like it's it's really appealing to the eye. 1568 01:17:56.600 --> 01:17:58.680 Or maybe I'm just off base on this, but I 1569 01:17:58.680 --> 01:18:02.520 think it's really really cool. Trey McBride catching a pass 1570 01:18:02.560 --> 01:18:05.600 here on second down four a first down? 1571 01:18:06.439 --> 01:18:10.680 Yes, oh sorry, have they shown the end zones yet? 1572 01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:13.279 I don't know, like what the theme is tonight for Arizona, 1573 01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:16.439 but I they painted the end zones pretty like special too, 1574 01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:18.840 So I don't know. I don't know what the occasion is, 1575 01:18:18.840 --> 01:18:22.399 but it's they're they're doing something different and it looks 1576 01:18:22.399 --> 01:18:22.920 pretty cool. 1577 01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:27.159 The uh the the the logo at midfield is pretty cool. 1578 01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:31.359 The logo at midfield is the same logo as as 1579 01:18:31.439 --> 01:18:33.159 what's on the helmet right now. And you're right, I 1580 01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:35.720 have not seen the end zones yet. As Trey Benson 1581 01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:38.039 rushes for no gain on on first and tent, I 1582 01:18:38.039 --> 01:18:40.279 have not seen the end zones, uh to see what 1583 01:18:40.319 --> 01:18:43.079 they're doing there, But yeah, it's it's it's very esthetically 1584 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:46.159 a pleasing, pleasing to the eye. Yes, I'm looking at 1585 01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:50.000 right now. It's got the star with the rays coming 1586 01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:52.039 out of it, the red and orange rays coming out. 1587 01:18:52.079 --> 01:18:57.359 It's very cool. Uh So anybody who is blind, my apologies, 1588 01:18:57.680 --> 01:18:59.920 you will not enjoy this game to the full effect tonight, 1589 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:02.560 because it is very cool what we're seeing here tonight 1590 01:19:02.560 --> 01:19:06.119 with the Cardinals and Seahawks. Okay, Kyler Murray a three 1591 01:19:06.199 --> 01:19:09.920 yard carry and it is second and ten from the 1592 01:19:09.960 --> 01:19:12.399 Arizona forty one. I beg your pardon. It is third 1593 01:19:12.439 --> 01:19:14.920 and seven from the Arizona forty four. As the Cardinals 1594 01:19:14.960 --> 01:19:18.039 try to keep this drive going, Marvin Harrison catches this 1595 01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:21.600 pass on the first play from scrimmage for eight yards. 1596 01:19:22.560 --> 01:19:25.319 What's wrong with him? Jack? You know, I felt like 1597 01:19:25.479 --> 01:19:28.279 the early part of drafting season, I spent a good 1598 01:19:28.359 --> 01:19:33.680 part my podcast explaining away Harrison. You know, we expected 1599 01:19:33.720 --> 01:19:37.079 too much year one. They misused him in his rookie year. 1600 01:19:37.640 --> 01:19:41.199 The schedule gets easier in year two, you know, all 1601 01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:43.479 these things. And I feel like over the course of 1602 01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:46.279 the three or four weeks of the season, all these 1603 01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:50.199 things are still true. Anybody who was against Marvin Harrison 1604 01:19:50.199 --> 01:19:52.760 this year would have told you that the Cardinals did 1605 01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:56.479 nothing to change anything that would make it better for 1606 01:19:56.600 --> 01:19:59.840 Marvin Harrison this year, That would, you know, even make 1607 01:19:59.880 --> 01:20:02.319 it different. Like everything stayed the same, So why should 1608 01:20:02.359 --> 01:20:07.159 we expect anything different? And I think through three weeks 1609 01:20:07.279 --> 01:20:10.279 that that's largely been true. But I think you can 1610 01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:12.439 make a case that there's other stuff going on. I mean, 1611 01:20:12.479 --> 01:20:14.479 I don't know how we dropped that pass last week, 1612 01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:17.399 that wide open pass that certainly if he catches that, 1613 01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:20.079 we have a much more different narrative we're talking about 1614 01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:23.279 in our Week four previews. But he didn't catch it, 1615 01:20:23.359 --> 01:20:27.079 and as a result, we're down on Harrison again. Can 1616 01:20:27.119 --> 01:20:33.000 you offer up anything positive Harrison? And conversely, maybe this 1617 01:20:33.159 --> 01:20:35.079 is just who he is. I don't know your thoughts 1618 01:20:35.119 --> 01:20:35.640 on Harrison. 1619 01:20:36.319 --> 01:20:38.720 Yeah, I don't really know either. And everyone saw the 1620 01:20:38.840 --> 01:20:41.000 wide open drop. There would have been a big game 1621 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:43.000 if not a touchdown. But he also had another drop 1622 01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:45.560 that was maybe a little bit more difficult, but it 1623 01:20:45.560 --> 01:20:48.640 would have been a long touchdown. The play didn't count 1624 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:52.520 because some other Cardinals receiver. I assume it was like 1625 01:20:52.560 --> 01:20:56.119 Michael Wilson or something got interfered with. But Wilson had 1626 01:20:56.279 --> 01:20:59.760 an easy touchdown go through his hands too. I can't 1627 01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:02.119 really explain it. I mean, I don't want to speculate 1628 01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:02.479 too much. 1629 01:21:02.560 --> 01:21:03.319 Is he hurt? 1630 01:21:03.439 --> 01:21:05.600 Is is it mental? At this point, I don't really know. 1631 01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:10.720 I guess the positives are that while he has not 1632 01:21:10.960 --> 01:21:16.079 shown like top tier upside, the volume is still respectable. 1633 01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:20.039 He had a twenty one percent target share as a rookie. 1634 01:21:20.159 --> 01:21:24.479 He's at nineteen percent through three games this year. I mean, 1635 01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:28.399 that's still fine volume. It's just not what was expected 1636 01:21:28.399 --> 01:21:32.159 of him coming out of college hyped. Is this generational 1637 01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:35.760 wide receiver prospect like he's still a usable fantasy asset. 1638 01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:38.079 I think it's just we were hoping you'd take a 1639 01:21:38.079 --> 01:21:40.479 step forward in through three games. We haven't seen it yet. 1640 01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:45.960 The running back situation changed from Week three to week 1641 01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:49.920 four here with Trey Benson now coming up to be 1642 01:21:50.319 --> 01:21:55.800 the lead running back, guys like Amar De Marcado, Bam Knight, 1643 01:21:55.920 --> 01:21:58.840 Michael Carter falling in behind him. Our best wishes go 1644 01:21:58.840 --> 01:22:01.560 out to James Connor for a and speedy recovery. Think 1645 01:22:01.560 --> 01:22:04.119 about everything that guy's been through in his life, you know, 1646 01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:07.359 having this ankle injury is probably nothing for him, you know, 1647 01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:09.520 so he's going to fight through it and hopefully get 1648 01:22:09.520 --> 01:22:12.199 back on the field for Week one next year. You 1649 01:22:12.319 --> 01:22:15.319 had some interesting things to say about Trey Benson on 1650 01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:19.399 the Established the Run, Updated one Remaining, Updated one fifty 1651 01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:22.920 podcast that came out this week. And I think this 1652 01:22:23.039 --> 01:22:26.479 is a precient for anybody thinking that you know it's 1653 01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:30.399 Trey Bell, Trey Benson Belkow season. Yeah, it could be, 1654 01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:34.000 but there's some other things to take into account before 1655 01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:35.640 we just all of a sudden annoyed Benson. Is this 1656 01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:38.159 guy that's going to be getting all these targets, all 1657 01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:39.880 these snaps and all this fantasy production. 1658 01:22:41.159 --> 01:22:42.560 Yeah, I'm actually curious. 1659 01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:45.600 It's I haven't had a play update, but it's third 1660 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:48.119 and seven for the Cardinals right now. Is it Benson 1661 01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:49.279 out there or is. 1662 01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:52.319 It I'll interrupt? Is it the play happened a long 1663 01:22:52.359 --> 01:22:54.560 time ago. I don't I have the ESPN thing up too. 1664 01:22:54.600 --> 01:22:57.159 I don't know why it's not updating Murray. I didn't 1665 01:22:57.159 --> 01:22:59.760 see who the running back was. Murray threw a deep pass, 1666 01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:02.520 sort of like an out, a deep out or deep 1667 01:23:02.520 --> 01:23:05.279 slant to I think it was Michael Wilson. It was 1668 01:23:05.319 --> 01:23:09.439 incomplete and they have punted, and now Darnold is taking 1669 01:23:09.479 --> 01:23:11.800 over for the Seahawks. But I did not see what 1670 01:23:11.920 --> 01:23:14.680 running back was out there on third and low got it. 1671 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.800 I think Nathan Yankee, the PFF guy who's really good 1672 01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:21.119 with the snappens. It was de Mercatto out there on 1673 01:23:21.239 --> 01:23:27.600 third down. Previously we had seen the Cardinals use Benson 1674 01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:29.319 on third down, and so that was kind of the 1675 01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:31.359 upside case for him. That was why I was pretty 1676 01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:34.039 bullsh on him after week one. I thought, they're finally 1677 01:23:34.079 --> 01:23:36.159 using Benson on third down. If James Connor goes down, 1678 01:23:36.199 --> 01:23:37.760 all of a sudden, we've got a three down workload. 1679 01:23:38.039 --> 01:23:40.960 It seems like Arizona wants to involve two running backs regardless. 1680 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:43.359 So I think now that Benson is in the Connor role, 1681 01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:46.000 de Mercado is going to be in the role that 1682 01:23:46.119 --> 01:23:49.800 was previously Benson's role. I do think Benson has a 1683 01:23:49.840 --> 01:23:55.359 better role than Connor had because De Mercado's gonna dear, yeah, 1684 01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:58.359 and De Marcanto's gonna take fewer carries from Benson than 1685 01:23:58.359 --> 01:24:01.199 Benson was taking from Connor. So it's a great role 1686 01:24:01.239 --> 01:24:03.800 for Benson. I don't think it's like a three down 1687 01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:07.640 role like we might see from Jonathan Taylor, McCaffrey, o 1688 01:24:07.680 --> 01:24:12.119 Marion Hampton, but it's still a strong role. But I 1689 01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:14.880 think Dean Marcatto is pretty much confined into that into 1690 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:15.760 that past game role. 1691 01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:19.720 Now, Kenneth Walker no gain on first down and then 1692 01:24:19.760 --> 01:24:23.880 a Kenneth Walker screen catch for twenty nine yards. Jackson 1693 01:24:23.880 --> 01:24:27.079 Smith the Jigba follows up with a two yard catch 1694 01:24:27.359 --> 01:24:30.479 from uh Sam Darnold second and eight now from the 1695 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:33.319 Seattle forty five as they are trying to make some 1696 01:24:33.439 --> 01:24:36.119 headway down the field. So if you were trying to 1697 01:24:36.119 --> 01:24:39.600 get the guy behind, the guy, is de Marcado the guy? 1698 01:24:39.640 --> 01:24:41.520 I mean, you're not you know, you're not going after 1699 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:44.279 Michael Carter, You're not going after Bam Knight or anything 1700 01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:47.520 like that. If if anything were to happen to Benson 1701 01:24:47.600 --> 01:24:50.800 as it stands right now, de Marcado would would probably 1702 01:24:50.800 --> 01:24:53.319 be the guy in obviously what would be a time share, 1703 01:24:53.359 --> 01:24:54.960 but he'd be getting the lion's share of the snaps. 1704 01:24:54.960 --> 01:24:58.079 I would think, I think it's I think it's tough 1705 01:24:58.119 --> 01:25:01.880 to tell. I think that might just like Demercato as 1706 01:25:01.920 --> 01:25:05.079 the pass down guy. If Benson goes down, I could 1707 01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:10.119 see Bam Knight and Michael Carter splitting the early down stuff, 1708 01:25:10.119 --> 01:25:12.119 and De Miccado probably gets an uptick in that area, 1709 01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:14.039 but I don't really think it would be enough to 1710 01:25:14.039 --> 01:25:17.439 make him a fantasy starter. So if Benson goes down, 1711 01:25:17.960 --> 01:25:19.840 I think it would kind of be like a really 1712 01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:21.920 messy three way split for touches there. 1713 01:25:22.199 --> 01:25:25.880 And maybe Wheels up for Harrison McBride and Wilson at 1714 01:25:25.920 --> 01:25:28.880 that point too, so we will see what happens with that. 1715 01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:31.960 So that is your preview of the Seahawks and Cardinals 1716 01:25:32.039 --> 01:25:34.840 ten to seventeen to go in the first quarter. It 1717 01:25:34.920 --> 01:25:37.800 is now a third down that the Seahawks are facing 1718 01:25:37.880 --> 01:25:41.039 after a three yard loss from Kenneth Walker on a 1719 01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:43.720 play that was blown up in the middle by that 1720 01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:46.359 Cardinals defensive line. Third and ten. Now beg your pardon 1721 01:25:46.640 --> 01:25:48.880 as we tick under ten minutes to go in the 1722 01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:52.439 first quarter. We'll have full coverage of this game for 1723 01:25:52.520 --> 01:25:54.680 you here through the remainder of the show, which my god, 1724 01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:56.199 we only got about half hour left and got a 1725 01:25:56.199 --> 01:25:58.840 ton of start sits yet for everybody tonight, I want 1726 01:25:58.880 --> 01:26:01.760 to remind everybody the ff PC Weekly Challenge is live 1727 01:26:01.840 --> 01:26:04.279 right now. You cannot play in the Thursday Weekly Challenge 1728 01:26:04.279 --> 01:26:07.039 anymore because the Thursday Night game started. However, we do 1729 01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:10.760 have a Sunday game going on right now that will 1730 01:26:10.800 --> 01:26:15.239 lock at one pm Eastern time. You are looking at 1731 01:26:15.239 --> 01:26:18.159 twenty five hundred dollars. Is the big money that you 1732 01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:20.960 can win this week ten thirty one hundred team contests, 1733 01:26:21.079 --> 01:26:23.119 depending upon what you want to play in there. Just 1734 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:24.720 pick ten players, or if you want to play with 1735 01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:29.039 kickers and defenses, you can pick twelve players. No duplications 1736 01:26:29.079 --> 01:26:31.079 on teams. If you want Aaron Rodgers, you can't have 1737 01:26:31.159 --> 01:26:33.720 Jalen Warren. If you want Justin Jefferson, you can have 1738 01:26:33.840 --> 01:26:36.760 Jordan Mason. My FFPC dot com is where to go 1739 01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:42.279 for that, my FFPC dot com. The Seahawks have converted 1740 01:26:42.399 --> 01:26:45.199 on I beg your pardon. They did not convert on 1741 01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:48.760 third down. It was a ten yard catch by Tory 1742 01:26:48.920 --> 01:26:51.720 Horton from Sam Donald. They go for it on fourth 1743 01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:55.119 and one and Zach Charbonay is stuffed for no gain. 1744 01:26:55.199 --> 01:26:57.880 As the Cardinals now take over from their own forty 1745 01:26:57.920 --> 01:26:59.960 eight nine oh two to the first quarter, They're gonna 1746 01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:01.640 take a break on Prime video. We're going to take 1747 01:27:01.640 --> 01:27:03.960 a break right here. We'll be back before they are 1748 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:07.119 answering your starting SIIT questions right here on the Better 1749 01:27:07.119 --> 01:27:10.560 Sports Network. It is FFPC Insider Access with Eric Baldman 1750 01:27:10.600 --> 01:27:13.520 and Jack Miller from Established to the Run. Don't go anywhere. 1751 01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:15.479 We're helping you out for your week four teams. 1752 01:27:15.600 --> 01:27:18.600 Right after this, folks, let me talk to you about 1753 01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:21.600 my favorite weekly platform to play on. You know, we 1754 01:27:21.640 --> 01:27:25.199 all play Dynasty and we all play Redraft, but we 1755 01:27:25.319 --> 01:27:28.560 got to find someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC 1756 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:32.079 Weekly Challenge is my favorite. If you're like me and 1757 01:27:32.119 --> 01:27:36.279 you're tired of the constraints of salary caps, or having 1758 01:27:36.279 --> 01:27:39.119 to do a draft to make a team, or even 1759 01:27:39.319 --> 01:27:41.479 having to play against these people that are stacking up 1760 01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:44.439 the same team, stacking up certain games and you feel 1761 01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:46.039 like you have to put in a million entries or 1762 01:27:46.279 --> 01:27:48.560 or have to have those certain stacks to win, then 1763 01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:52.239 come play over at f FPC. Really, the only main 1764 01:27:52.359 --> 01:27:54.279 rule that you have to deal with is that you 1765 01:27:54.359 --> 01:27:57.279 cannot select multiple players from the same team. I'm going 1766 01:27:57.319 --> 01:27:59.520 out and I'm trying to find the best of the 1767 01:27:59.560 --> 01:28:02.119 best the best players and put them into a lineup, 1768 01:28:02.359 --> 01:28:04.439 and that's what you can do over at my FFPC. 1769 01:28:05.239 --> 01:28:07.560 You can go out and you can take the number 1770 01:28:07.600 --> 01:28:11.159 one running back in Bijon Robinson, and you can also 1771 01:28:11.199 --> 01:28:12.800 have steak On Barkley. As long as they're not on 1772 01:28:12.840 --> 01:28:15.560 the same team. You can put them all into a lineup, right, 1773 01:28:15.600 --> 01:28:17.760 And there's four flexes for this, so there's a lot 1774 01:28:17.760 --> 01:28:21.319 of flexibility. There's two different contests, one that has kickers 1775 01:28:21.319 --> 01:28:25.199 and defenses, one that's just positioned players. Then you also 1776 01:28:25.239 --> 01:28:26.760 have a bunch of different price points. You can play 1777 01:28:26.800 --> 01:28:29.760 at thirty five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred 1778 01:28:29.760 --> 01:28:32.079 dollars buy in and you're going out and you're just 1779 01:28:32.119 --> 01:28:35.560 picking the absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little 1780 01:28:35.560 --> 01:28:37.239 bit of a sleeper. There's somebody that you think can 1781 01:28:37.279 --> 01:28:39.800 really blow up that week.

The Cardinals have thrown an incomplete pass to 1806 01:29:50.720 --> 01:29:53.520 Trey McBride on first down, and they will have it 1807 01:29:53.600 --> 01:29:56.520 second and ten from their own forty eight Here Jack 1808 01:29:56.840 --> 01:30:02.439 question from ky Flynn on YouTube A trade question. Should 1809 01:30:02.520 --> 01:30:07.199 Kai trade Bijon Robinson and Ladd McConkie and getting Jonathan 1810 01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:11.399 Taylor and Zay Flowers. Which side of that trade would 1811 01:30:11.439 --> 01:30:13.319 you rather be on, given that you're giving up a 1812 01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:16.279 running back and receiver to get a running back and 1813 01:30:16.319 --> 01:30:16.920 wide receiver. 1814 01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:19.800 Yeah, I think it's pretty close, But I think at 1815 01:30:19.840 --> 01:30:22.760 this point Jonathan Taylor is probably the most valuable asset 1816 01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:27.560 in fantasy football, and so it's worth how disappointing Laddie Venezuela. 1817 01:30:27.560 --> 01:30:29.319 I think it's JT and Flowers for me. 1818 01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:33.359 I would, I would, I would agree with you. I 1819 01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:36.920 think that's that's the where I roll with it, although 1820 01:30:36.960 --> 01:30:39.600 it is very close, because I think Taylor is at 1821 01:30:39.600 --> 01:30:43.680 the peak of his powers right now, and in Jon 1822 01:30:43.800 --> 01:30:46.159 Robinson you might be getting at a bit of a discount. 1823 01:30:46.640 --> 01:30:48.239 So we'll see what happens there. We have to see 1824 01:30:48.239 --> 01:30:50.439 what's happening in this game right now. Kyler Murray has 1825 01:30:50.479 --> 01:30:54.279 just thrown an interception to the Seattle defense and it appears, 1826 01:30:54.319 --> 01:30:57.479 according to the Cardinals defenders that whoever picked him off, 1827 01:30:57.520 --> 01:30:59.520 I think it was the safety, one of the safeties 1828 01:30:59.840 --> 01:31:02.840 has fumbled the football. On the return. The Cardinals are 1829 01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:05.760 saying they have it, and the referee agrees the Cardinals 1830 01:31:05.800 --> 01:31:09.960 do have it off the fumble from the Seattle Seahawks 1831 01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:14.159 safety that picked it off. This was Bryant And who 1832 01:31:14.239 --> 01:31:18.720 was this was this? Michael Wilson? No, it was Oh 1833 01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:20.960 my goodness, this is close because it almost looks like 1834 01:31:21.039 --> 01:31:24.359 he slid down and then lost the football. Did he 1835 01:31:24.399 --> 01:31:26.640 give himself up? I'm sure they're gonna look at this here, 1836 01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:30.800 and the Cardinals with a recovery off the Bryant interception 1837 01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:35.800 fumble from the Kyler Murray interception. Okay, let's move forward 1838 01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:38.520 here with some starter sick questions. Some of these guys 1839 01:31:38.520 --> 01:31:41.399 we've tackled. Some of these guys we haven't. But we're 1840 01:31:41.439 --> 01:31:43.720 gonna pair him up tonight here and help you out 1841 01:31:43.720 --> 01:31:47.880 the best we can. Would you rather start or actually 1842 01:31:47.880 --> 01:31:50.520 I beg your pardon, would you rather start Alvin Kamara 1843 01:31:51.000 --> 01:31:55.159 or Jalen Warren this week? Jalen Warren is in Dublin 1844 01:31:55.239 --> 01:31:59.079 against the Vikings on Sunday morning. Alvin Kamara is gonna 1845 01:31:59.079 --> 01:32:02.359 be at the Buffalo Fields in what should be a 1846 01:32:02.680 --> 01:32:06.960 heavy passing volume game for Rattler. However, the targets that 1847 01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:11.279 don't necessarily have been existent for Alvin Kamara so far 1848 01:32:11.359 --> 01:32:11.760 this year. 1849 01:32:13.199 --> 01:32:16.239 Yeah, this would be Jalen Warren for me. He's been 1850 01:32:16.560 --> 01:32:19.560 the early down back for Pittsburgh all year. It seems 1851 01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:21.880 like as of the past couple of weeks he's he's 1852 01:32:21.880 --> 01:32:24.239 taken over for Kenneth Gainwell on past times too, and 1853 01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:26.359 it seems like he's just kind of the three down 1854 01:32:26.399 --> 01:32:28.359 guy for the Steelers at the moment. He hasn't been 1855 01:32:28.399 --> 01:32:31.680 as efficient as we're used to seeing from Jalen Warren. 1856 01:32:31.760 --> 01:32:34.319 But I mean it's not like Kamara has been particularly 1857 01:32:34.399 --> 01:32:37.119 efficient either, and it's not like we can expect Kamara 1858 01:32:37.199 --> 01:32:40.680 to be super efficient in this in this game environment. 1859 01:32:41.479 --> 01:32:44.079 So I think Warren, here are you? 1860 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:46.680 I said at the start of the year and throughout 1861 01:32:46.720 --> 01:32:50.000 drafting season Jack that I thought we could squeeze one 1862 01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:53.239 more year of fantasy goodness out of Alvin Kamara and 1863 01:32:53.279 --> 01:32:56.840 New Orleans. I'm starting to doubt that statement. What about you? 1864 01:32:56.960 --> 01:32:59.159 Is is this? I mean, is this it for Kamara? 1865 01:32:59.319 --> 01:33:02.640 Is he dost? Is this a player that has been 1866 01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:05.039 drafted as sort of like a high end running back 1867 01:33:05.079 --> 01:33:08.520 two that's gonna slip into borderline flex going forward? 1868 01:33:09.840 --> 01:33:12.399 Yeah, he might be. It's mostly the lack of targets 1869 01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:16.640 that's concerning for me. And it's pretty strange with just 1870 01:33:16.720 --> 01:33:18.920 how consistent he's been as a pass catcher throughout his 1871 01:33:19.079 --> 01:33:21.640 entire career. I mean, even if he's lost the stuff, 1872 01:33:21.640 --> 01:33:23.520 you'd think that they'd make more of an effort to 1873 01:33:23.560 --> 01:33:25.880 get him the ball, but they just haven't so far. 1874 01:33:27.119 --> 01:33:29.319 And I think that that has to rebound at some point, 1875 01:33:29.319 --> 01:33:31.359 but will rebound to the levels we're used to saying 1876 01:33:31.399 --> 01:33:34.640 from Alvin Kamara probably not, just given how slow A 1877 01:33:34.680 --> 01:33:37.439 started to spend. I still think Kamara is a fantasy starter. 1878 01:33:38.159 --> 01:33:41.840 I just think that maybe relative the preseason expectations, we 1879 01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:44.319 need to temper how we look at him moving forward. 1880 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:48.039 The question that we have from Racy and Ray, I 1881 01:33:48.079 --> 01:33:51.039 think you might have posted something in YouTube earlier that 1882 01:33:51.119 --> 01:33:52.600 I made a mental note that we were going to 1883 01:33:52.640 --> 01:33:53.960 get back to, and I don't know if we ever 1884 01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:56.159 did so. If you asked us something tonight that I 1885 01:33:56.199 --> 01:33:58.560 didn't bring up, please post it again. But right now 1886 01:33:58.600 --> 01:34:01.800 we'll answer your starters. A question here. He needs to 1887 01:34:01.840 --> 01:34:04.520 bench one of these guys here, Jack, Is it Teteroa 1888 01:34:04.640 --> 01:34:07.520 McMillan who is at New England this week? Is it 1889 01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:10.119 a Mecca at Buka who is at home against the Eagles, 1890 01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:13.279 or is it JK. Dobbins at home against the Bengals. 1891 01:34:13.560 --> 01:34:16.159 I know he's got the best matchup, but in full PPR, 1892 01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:18.520 I think it's Dobbins is the one I'm benching. I'm 1893 01:34:18.520 --> 01:34:20.960 playing McMillan, I'm playing at Guka. A lot of question 1894 01:34:21.039 --> 01:34:24.279 marks with the Tampa wide receivers. You know, I don't 1895 01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:26.520 even think I Buka's listed on the injury report, so 1896 01:34:26.520 --> 01:34:29.039 I really like him this week, Dobbins is the guy 1897 01:34:29.079 --> 01:34:31.960 I probably sit, although I you know, I could easily 1898 01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:32.600 be wrong on this. 1899 01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:36.800 Yeah, it's definitely a great spot for Dobbins is big 1900 01:34:36.840 --> 01:34:39.720 favorites over Cincinnati. I do think you have to sit 1901 01:34:39.840 --> 01:34:43.039 him with these two receivers. Is your other option? I 1902 01:34:43.039 --> 01:34:46.279 mean at BUKA is the easy first option for me. 1903 01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:49.720 I think with Evans out and with Godwin probably operating 1904 01:34:49.760 --> 01:34:54.039 at far below, I think that he should get peppered 1905 01:34:54.039 --> 01:34:56.680 with targets and then it comes down to McMillan and Dobbins, 1906 01:34:56.720 --> 01:34:59.439 and McMillan's just getting so many targets and he's just 1907 01:34:59.560 --> 01:35:03.520 looked really good. I think that maybe this could be 1908 01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:05.840 the spot where he finally turns that into a big 1909 01:35:05.880 --> 01:35:09.960 fantasy outing. So I'm going with the rookie receivers. 1910 01:35:10.439 --> 01:35:15.880 The situation with this one is something Jack and Era 1911 01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:19.039 of the same mind done. I just watched a replay 1912 01:35:19.079 --> 01:35:21.800 of that interception that Kyler Murray threw. I don't know, 1913 01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:24.560 I think it was a tendant for Marvin Harrison, but 1914 01:35:24.920 --> 01:35:28.600 it was a really bad pass, bad decision. They reviewed it, 1915 01:35:28.680 --> 01:35:31.720 they upheld the ruling. It is Arizona football and Trey 1916 01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:35.239 Benson gets a twelve yard rush right away on first 1917 01:35:35.239 --> 01:35:39.119 down as they plunge in to Seattle territory. He ends 1918 01:35:39.199 --> 01:35:43.199 up catching a pass for four yards on the very 1919 01:35:43.239 --> 01:35:46.640 next play, but Tyreek Woollen flagged for a face mask 1920 01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:49.680 penalty as well, tack on fifteen yards and the Cardinals 1921 01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:52.399 now have it first and ten at the Seattle forty 1922 01:35:52.439 --> 01:35:55.159 one with eight ten to go in the first quarter. 1923 01:35:56.600 --> 01:36:00.239 Nick Chubb or Isaiah Pacheco is our next star? Or 1924 01:36:00.279 --> 01:36:03.640 sit here limited upside with both of these guys a 1925 01:36:03.760 --> 01:36:07.439 quite frankly limited floors as well. Somebody asked me on 1926 01:36:08.520 --> 01:36:10.840 I was doing a hit on another radio station earlier 1927 01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:12.760 this morning. Somebody asked me what do I do with 1928 01:36:12.800 --> 01:36:14.680 Isaiah Pacheco right now? And the best thing I can 1929 01:36:14.720 --> 01:36:17.840 say Jack was don't cut him. But I'm certainly not 1930 01:36:17.920 --> 01:36:20.760 starting him right now. Nick Chubb. I think Woody Marx 1931 01:36:20.840 --> 01:36:23.800 is working his way into that conversation as well in 1932 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:26.079 the backfield. If you have to start one of them 1933 01:36:26.119 --> 01:36:31.199 this week, certainly exhaust all other possibilities first. But I 1934 01:36:31.239 --> 01:36:33.840 still lean towards Chubb over Pacheco this week. 1935 01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:38.760 Yeah, it's Chubb for me too. The Texans are finally 1936 01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:40.600 should be able to move the ball a little bit 1937 01:36:40.640 --> 01:36:43.399 against the Titans, their big favorites here. I think Woody 1938 01:36:43.479 --> 01:36:47.960 Marx is ascending. I think that eventually he could really 1939 01:36:48.079 --> 01:36:51.159 usurp Chubb as the rby one. But I think for now, 1940 01:36:51.279 --> 01:36:53.319 Chub is still the preferred option on early downs, and 1941 01:36:53.359 --> 01:36:56.439 I think that in positive game script he should still 1942 01:36:56.479 --> 01:36:59.199 be in line for double digit carries. So it's Chubb 1943 01:36:59.239 --> 01:37:00.199 for me over pacheck Up. 1944 01:37:00.840 --> 01:37:04.359 Speaking of the Texans ground game, I noticed Joe Mixon 1945 01:37:04.479 --> 01:37:06.520 was cut in some of my twelve team to twenty 1946 01:37:06.560 --> 01:37:09.439 man roster leagues. Do I need to find a roster 1947 01:37:09.520 --> 01:37:11.760 spot for him in that deep of a league or 1948 01:37:11.760 --> 01:37:13.960 do I just continue to leave him on the waiver were. 1949 01:37:14.800 --> 01:37:16.680 I think you can leave him on the waiver wire. 1950 01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:20.119 I think I don't think he's gonna play this year. 1951 01:37:20.600 --> 01:37:23.239 Okay, well, let me ask you this, Jack put you 1952 01:37:23.279 --> 01:37:26.319 on the spot. Percentage chance that Joe Mixon takes at 1953 01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:31.560 least one snap in the regular season this year? Is 1954 01:37:31.600 --> 01:37:33.760 it less? Is it less than twenty percent? 1955 01:37:34.439 --> 01:37:35.000 It might be. 1956 01:37:36.239 --> 01:37:40.079 Yeah, I've just heard some some pretty bad stuff I've heard. 1957 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:42.840 I've heard nothing which makes me think it's really bad. 1958 01:37:42.760 --> 01:37:45.359 Right, Yeah, I think I think he's a pretty big 1959 01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:46.239 underdog to play. 1960 01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:52.439 The Cincinnati Bengals will continue their season in Week four 1961 01:37:52.800 --> 01:37:55.640 in Denver. The Mile High City RAC wants to know 1962 01:37:56.199 --> 01:37:58.800 what are we expecting from the Bengals offense going forward, 1963 01:37:59.199 --> 01:38:02.359 specifically Chase in Denver. I don't believe you can correct 1964 01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:04.520 me if I'm wrong on this. I don't believe Patrick 1965 01:38:04.560 --> 01:38:09.039 Sirtan travels with the opponent's best wide receiver, so certainly 1966 01:38:09.119 --> 01:38:11.479 they can scheme up Jamar Chase. But it was really 1967 01:38:11.479 --> 01:38:14.640 bad against Minnesota this past week. I'm of the belief 1968 01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:16.960 that that's probably Browning's worst game of the season. I 1969 01:38:17.000 --> 01:38:19.720 think better things are ahead from the Bengals, but perhaps 1970 01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:22.560 I'm being too much of a cock eyed optimus here, Jack, 1971 01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:24.800 What do you think about the Bengals going forward and 1972 01:38:24.840 --> 01:38:27.199 then specifically against the Broncos in Week four? 1973 01:38:28.319 --> 01:38:31.199 Yeah, I think Certan does shadowt a pretty decent amount, 1974 01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:34.119 so I'm sure the Bengals will try to get creative 1975 01:38:34.119 --> 01:38:37.399 and get them away from Cirtan. But I mean, it 1976 01:38:37.439 --> 01:38:39.520 is like Certan is the defensive player of the year, 1977 01:38:39.520 --> 01:38:41.399 but it's still Jamar Chase. I don't think it's like 1978 01:38:41.720 --> 01:38:44.520 Stan's gonna totally shut him down and limit him to zero. 1979 01:38:44.920 --> 01:38:48.119 It's definitely a downgrade relative the most matchups though, and 1980 01:38:48.439 --> 01:38:51.159 with Burrow out, it's definitely a downgrade relative to where 1981 01:38:51.159 --> 01:38:54.760 we were taking Chase in the preseason. I do think 1982 01:38:54.800 --> 01:38:58.520 the Chase is probably less impacted than someone like T. Higgins, 1983 01:38:58.560 --> 01:39:03.880 who's i think, or dependent on Joe Burrow moving the 1984 01:39:03.880 --> 01:39:07.000 ball and scoring points and getting touchdowns, whereas Chase is 1985 01:39:07.039 --> 01:39:08.760 more of a playmaker with the ball in his hand. 1986 01:39:08.800 --> 01:39:10.800 So as long as Brown can get him the ball 1987 01:39:10.840 --> 01:39:13.079 five yards down the field, there's some chance Tom Chase 1988 01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:15.760 makes the play, Whereas if T. Higgins catches the ball 1989 01:39:15.800 --> 01:39:18.680 five yards down the field, that's probably not going much further. 1990 01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:23.319 I think Chase he's still a very clear defensive starter, 1991 01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:26.840 Like you're never benching Tomar Chase regardless of who's under center. 1992 01:39:28.159 --> 01:39:31.319 I think he's probably like a low end wide receiver one. 1993 01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:32.560 Russ Higgins is the guy. 1994 01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:35.960 He's the guy you consider benching, right, I've already benched 1995 01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:37.720 him in a couple of leagues this week. He's not 1996 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:42.079 the slam dunk start that that that he was before. Uh, 1997 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:43.640 you got to have one hell of a team to 1998 01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:46.560 be benching Jamar Chase and quite frankly, if you have 1999 01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:49.279 that team, you need to up your game and join 2000 01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:52.399 THEEC or something like that next year, because that it's 2001 01:39:52.439 --> 01:39:54.600 not even fun when he when you have that deep 2002 01:39:54.640 --> 01:39:57.359 of a wide receiver Cort that you could consider benching 2003 01:39:57.520 --> 01:40:01.000 Jamar Chase Uh speaking of stagnate here, I don't know 2004 01:40:01.000 --> 01:40:03.079 if I mentioned it or not. The Cardinals are attempting 2005 01:40:03.119 --> 01:40:06.279 a thirty two yard field goal attempt here Greg George 2006 01:40:06.279 --> 01:40:08.399 with a couple of passes, one for two yards, one 2007 01:40:08.439 --> 01:40:11.840 for nine yards. There was a false start penalty that 2008 01:40:11.960 --> 01:40:14.119 moved the Cardinals back. Trey McBride did get a four 2009 01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:17.119 yard catch on this drive as well. Chad Ryland has 2010 01:40:17.279 --> 01:40:20.319 nailed the thirty three yard field goal as the Cardinals 2011 01:40:20.359 --> 01:40:22.840 have taken a three to nothing lead with four h 2012 01:40:22.920 --> 01:40:25.119 nine to go in the first quarter. Jack and I 2013 01:40:25.159 --> 01:40:28.680 will be with you through the remainder of the first quarter. Tonight, 2014 01:40:29.479 --> 01:40:33.920 Flacco is king on YouTube. Jack has a question. This 2015 01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:38.119 is interesting. He needs one of Ramandre Stevenson, Beshelle Touton, 2016 01:40:38.800 --> 01:40:42.479 Devin Singletary, Ray Davis. This is full PPR and this 2017 01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:45.079 is his number two spot for running back. He does 2018 01:40:45.119 --> 01:40:48.079 admit that it is gross, and yes it is gross, 2019 01:40:48.479 --> 01:40:53.159 I'm a limiting Singletary, even with the purported big time 2020 01:40:53.279 --> 01:40:56.279 rushing second half that the Bill should have against the Saints, 2021 01:40:56.319 --> 01:40:59.399 I'm eliminating Ray Davis. This comes down to Stevenson or 2022 01:41:00.039 --> 01:41:03.079 for me, I lean towards Stevenson, But I can be 2023 01:41:03.159 --> 01:41:05.039 persuaded if you want to make an argument for two. 2024 01:41:06.359 --> 01:41:09.359 Yeah, I think you're right to eliminate Singletary and Ray Davis. 2025 01:41:09.399 --> 01:41:14.880 I think I leen Remandre as well. I mean, it's 2026 01:41:14.920 --> 01:41:18.159 a really good matchup, like we've said this a few times, 2027 01:41:18.159 --> 01:41:20.479 but the floor is nothing here. If Rabel decides to 2028 01:41:20.560 --> 01:41:22.640 teach him a lesson after two fumbles last week, there's 2029 01:41:22.680 --> 01:41:25.359 some chance they lean fully into Trevion Henderson. But I 2030 01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:27.119 mean when when these are your other options, it's not 2031 01:41:27.159 --> 01:41:30.399 like the other guys have a very stable floor either. 2032 01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:34.239 And so the Patriots, the Patriots should be able to 2033 01:41:34.319 --> 01:41:36.920 run the ball against this Carolina defense, like pretty much 2034 01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:40.039 everyone has been able to so far. So it's still 2035 01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:40.760 mandre for me. 2036 01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:46.239 Yeah, I mean I wouldn't overthink it. Tooton's on the 2037 01:41:46.279 --> 01:41:48.880 injury report as well, not saying that he's not going 2038 01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:52.479 to play. Your thoughts, Jack, I don't know, I don't 2039 01:41:52.479 --> 01:41:55.600 know if you took a strong stance on this Jacksonville 2040 01:41:55.680 --> 01:41:59.279 running back situation prior to the start of the season, 2041 01:41:59.520 --> 01:42:02.159 but I've see it's changed with the Tank Bigsby trade. 2042 01:42:02.520 --> 01:42:04.680 What are you looking at from Jacksonville right now? Is 2043 01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:07.600 this Etn's backfield or do you think Tutin is going 2044 01:42:07.680 --> 01:42:09.760 to be taking it away from him before the calendar 2045 01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:11.000 turns to twenty twenty six. 2046 01:42:12.199 --> 01:42:14.640 I think it's Etn's backfield right now for sure. I 2047 01:42:14.640 --> 01:42:16.880 think Etn is like a definite fantasy starter in the 2048 01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:19.199 short term. Tuton has looked really good so far, and 2049 01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:22.279 I thought it was meaningful that they gave Tutin a 2050 01:42:22.439 --> 01:42:24.199 goal Lie Carey. I think it was from I think 2051 01:42:24.199 --> 01:42:25.840 it was from like the one yard line last week 2052 01:42:25.880 --> 01:42:28.479 and he scored on it. And then there was that 2053 01:42:28.800 --> 01:42:30.960 screen pass that everyone saw in week two where he 2054 01:42:31.439 --> 01:42:34.680 made the defender miss and trot it in. So I 2055 01:42:34.800 --> 01:42:38.239 really like Tutan as an upside shot. I was hopeful 2056 01:42:38.279 --> 01:42:40.960 that he would really ascend more than he did in 2057 01:42:40.960 --> 01:42:43.279 week three. From a usage standpoint. We didn't really see 2058 01:42:43.319 --> 01:42:46.720 the role grow like I was hoping it would, but 2059 01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:48.640 I think he's still like a really strong hold. I 2060 01:42:48.840 --> 01:42:52.800 think we've seen et in the past few years. I mean, 2061 01:42:52.840 --> 01:42:55.000 we've seen ETN show upside before, so I don't want 2062 01:42:55.000 --> 01:42:57.640 to come off as as anti ETN and more so 2063 01:42:57.840 --> 01:43:00.840 pro Tutin, but I think think both are good. I 2064 01:43:00.840 --> 01:43:03.000 think ets a definite fantasy starter right now. I think 2065 01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:06.359 ETN is a good hold. I think he's a tough 2066 01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:08.560 buy right now since he scored a touchdown in back 2067 01:43:08.600 --> 01:43:10.119 to back weeks, But if we ever get a tooton 2068 01:43:10.199 --> 01:43:13.439 floor game, I think he makes sense as a by candidate. 2069 01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:18.319 If ETN were to go down, is this like eighty 2070 01:43:18.399 --> 01:43:20.800 percent of the snap share with LeQuinn Allen getting twenty 2071 01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:22.880 percent or how would you think that that would play out? 2072 01:43:23.359 --> 01:43:25.600 And I'm only asking this for people who are wondering 2073 01:43:26.039 --> 01:43:28.119 what they have in Tuton on their bench right now. 2074 01:43:28.960 --> 01:43:30.920 Yeah, I think it would be pretty much a Toton 2075 01:43:31.000 --> 01:43:33.960 rocket ship. They're they're giving Lacking Allen the pass downs. 2076 01:43:35.359 --> 01:43:37.760 I imagine he'd keep that role if ETN goes down. 2077 01:43:37.760 --> 01:43:37.920 But. 2078 01:43:39.479 --> 01:43:42.279 The Jaguars are still going to throw to their running 2079 01:43:42.319 --> 01:43:45.399 backs on early downs. It's kind of similar to Trey Benson, 2080 01:43:45.399 --> 01:43:48.760 where Laking Allen is the Amario de Meercato, but base 2081 01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:51.399 jall Tutan would be the Trey Benson and that's a 2082 01:43:51.560 --> 01:43:52.880 very valuable fantasy starter. 2083 01:43:53.880 --> 01:43:57.079 Kenneth Walker is really off to a great start tonight 2084 01:43:57.119 --> 01:44:00.680 as he busts off on first and ten for the 2085 01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:04.279 Seattle Seahawks, a twenty one yard run that gets him 2086 01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:07.199 out of bounds at the Arizona thirty five. So to 2087 01:44:07.279 --> 01:44:11.279 recap so far, Kenneth Walker tonight for carries twenty seven yards. 2088 01:44:11.279 --> 01:44:14.720 He also has a twenty nine yard catch as well. 2089 01:44:14.760 --> 01:44:18.239 As the Seahawks march down the field against the Cardinals 2090 01:44:18.239 --> 01:44:20.159 here trying to tie this game up or maybe even 2091 01:44:20.159 --> 01:44:22.239 take the lead. I want to shift over to wide 2092 01:44:22.239 --> 01:44:25.439 receiver here for you, Jack. This is a fun one 2093 01:44:25.439 --> 01:44:29.199 this week. Who would you rather start? And again a 2094 01:44:29.319 --> 01:44:31.439 question that we didn't think we'd be asking ourselves here 2095 01:44:31.479 --> 01:44:36.199 in September, Quinton Johnston at the Giants or DJ Moore 2096 01:44:36.560 --> 01:44:38.600 against the Raiders in Las Vegas. 2097 01:44:39.880 --> 01:44:42.920 It's Johnston for me, which I did not really think 2098 01:44:42.960 --> 01:44:45.000 i'd be saying three weeks ago. But DJ More just 2099 01:44:45.000 --> 01:44:47.760 has not had the role we're used to seeing from him. 2100 01:44:47.760 --> 01:44:50.520 I think Johnston has a higher target share so far 2101 01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:54.880 on an offense that's throwing significantly more and significantly more efficiently. 2102 01:44:55.319 --> 01:44:59.119 At least then they're not playing the Cowboys quote unquote defense. 2103 01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:02.319 I definitely like QJ over DJ Moore. 2104 01:45:02.840 --> 01:45:05.720 Yeah, it's crazy. These are two guys trending in the 2105 01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:08.680 wrong or different directions. I should say DJ Moore probably 2106 01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:11.159 not in the right one. Think about what Luther Burden 2107 01:45:11.279 --> 01:45:13.359 was able to do last week, not only on that 2108 01:45:13.399 --> 01:45:15.680 big flea flicker, but a couple other plays as well, 2109 01:45:16.439 --> 01:45:19.560 Roma Dunza ascending to sort of this quasi number one 2110 01:45:19.640 --> 01:45:23.279 role for the Bears. And then you have Quentin Johnston 2111 01:45:23.359 --> 01:45:26.600 who isn't going away. I've made the case that Keenan 2112 01:45:26.640 --> 01:45:29.479 Allen and Ladd McConkie are a little bit more of 2113 01:45:29.560 --> 01:45:32.760 a duplication of skills, and as a result, Quentin Johnston 2114 01:45:32.760 --> 01:45:35.039 probably gets on the field, maybe more than he should. 2115 01:45:35.239 --> 01:45:36.960 But what he's able to do on the outside is 2116 01:45:37.000 --> 01:45:40.239 something that Alan can no longer do, and maybe Lad 2117 01:45:40.279 --> 01:45:43.239 McConkie is not able to do. I don't know, but 2118 01:45:43.319 --> 01:45:45.279 he's out there quite a bit. I'm with you. I'm 2119 01:45:45.279 --> 01:45:48.279 playing Johnston over DJ Moore this week. I don't want 2120 01:45:48.279 --> 01:45:50.479 to say I'm not thinking twice about it, but I 2121 01:45:50.479 --> 01:45:54.880 feel pretty good about this decision. We have another Kenneth 2122 01:45:54.920 --> 01:45:57.560 Walker run for eight yards and a Cooper Cup sighting 2123 01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:01.840 all the way down to the sixteen yard line for Arizona. 2124 01:46:01.920 --> 01:46:04.920 It is a eleven yard catch for Cooper Cup on 2125 01:46:05.079 --> 01:46:07.760 third and two, and now the Cardinals have it first 2126 01:46:07.760 --> 01:46:12.079 and ten. At the no I take that back. They 2127 01:46:12.119 --> 01:46:14.399 no longer have it first and ten. Sam Donald is 2128 01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:17.079 throwing a touchdown. It is not to Cup, it is 2129 01:46:17.119 --> 01:46:21.079 not to Smith, the Jigba Walker, Charbonne, or even Elijah Arroyo. 2130 01:46:21.199 --> 01:46:24.079 AJ Barner gets in the end zone on a sixteen 2131 01:46:24.199 --> 01:46:27.920 yard touchdown catch from Sam Donald. The Seahawks have taken 2132 01:46:27.920 --> 01:46:32.880 the lead. Nice little wheel slash fade route there for 2133 01:46:32.960 --> 01:46:35.600 aj Barner, well set up, he was open and the 2134 01:46:35.640 --> 01:46:38.359 Seahawks have a six to three league The extra point 2135 01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:41.920 is pending. The Seahawks have completed the drive nine plays, 2136 01:46:41.920 --> 01:46:44.880 seventy seven yards. The Jason Myers extra point is good. 2137 01:46:44.920 --> 01:46:47.359 Three h four to go in the first quarter. The 2138 01:46:47.399 --> 01:46:50.880 Seahawks now on top of the Cardinals seven to three. 2139 01:46:51.399 --> 01:46:54.840 Jerry Judy and one Dale Robinson. A lot of people 2140 01:46:54.880 --> 01:46:57.359 will have both these players on their team, and they're 2141 01:46:57.359 --> 01:47:00.920 in a conundrum this week. Based on what Judy had 2142 01:47:01.000 --> 01:47:02.920 did at the end of last year, what he's doing 2143 01:47:02.920 --> 01:47:05.439 this year, and then what Wandale Robinson did in Week two. 2144 01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:09.800 My god, the monkey wrench in that this conversation right now, 2145 01:47:10.239 --> 01:47:14.319 Jack is Jackson Dark starting now for the Giants this week. 2146 01:47:14.640 --> 01:47:16.439 And I know a lot of people believe that this 2147 01:47:16.520 --> 01:47:19.279 is a really really good thing for Wandale Robinson. It 2148 01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:21.520 may or may not be. I don't know. They get 2149 01:47:21.520 --> 01:47:24.079 the Chargers this week at home, Jerry Judy travels to 2150 01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:27.439 Detroit to take on that Lion's defense. You can only 2151 01:47:27.520 --> 01:47:29.680 play one Judy or Robinson. 2152 01:47:31.560 --> 01:47:35.399 I think it's Wandale. For me, the average up of 2153 01:47:35.479 --> 01:47:38.520 target for Wandale has gone from let me pull up 2154 01:47:38.760 --> 01:47:41.039 exactly what it was. It was five point one last year, 2155 01:47:41.359 --> 01:47:43.920 five point five year prior. It was three point three 2156 01:47:43.920 --> 01:47:46.279 in week one. In Week two it was sixteen point seven, 2157 01:47:46.319 --> 01:47:48.199 and then last week it was twenty one point three. 2158 01:47:48.720 --> 01:47:50.880 So we know that he's a strong target owner and 2159 01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:54.720 they're finally actually throwing the ball down the field to him. 2160 01:47:54.960 --> 01:47:57.960 Obviously didn't really complete those passes last week when week 2161 01:47:57.960 --> 01:48:00.640 two we saw the upside case, and really has not 2162 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:03.119 really earned targets at the level we saw over the 2163 01:48:03.119 --> 01:48:06.640 second fl last year. It's pretty crowded there with Tillman, 2164 01:48:06.800 --> 01:48:11.640 with Njoku, with Fannin. Jerome Ford's a little bit involved too. 2165 01:48:12.439 --> 01:48:16.439 So I like Wandell, even though I don't think the 2166 01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:20.359 matchup is great for Dart against this Charger's defense, but 2167 01:48:20.800 --> 01:48:24.199 I think the volume and now the better usage from 2168 01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:27.439 a downfield perspective makes me lean Wondo Robinson. 2169 01:48:27.800 --> 01:48:30.159 The A dot for Robinson is not something I had 2170 01:48:30.199 --> 01:48:33.319 on my Bengo card this year. Certainly, we have not 2171 01:48:33.479 --> 01:48:36.359 seen him use like this since his days as a 2172 01:48:36.439 --> 01:48:39.199 Kentucky Wildcat, and it's been very pleasant for us, so 2173 01:48:39.239 --> 01:48:41.239 we would love to see it obviously, if we have 2174 01:48:41.319 --> 01:48:44.520 Robinson on our team. Regarding the targets with Judy, he's 2175 01:48:44.560 --> 01:48:47.960 gone eight eight five, only five targets against the Packers 2176 01:48:48.039 --> 01:48:49.800 last week. He only caught one of those passes, but 2177 01:48:50.079 --> 01:48:52.520 I was kind of a knockdown, slug it, slug it out, 2178 01:48:52.600 --> 01:48:55.279 drag it out type game. And he goes to Detroit 2179 01:48:55.319 --> 01:48:56.880 this week where I think they're going to be passing. 2180 01:48:56.920 --> 01:48:59.840 But to your point, maybe it just means more for Fannin. 2181 01:49:00.000 --> 01:49:02.840 Maybe it means more for Njoku and players like that. Tillman, 2182 01:49:03.359 --> 01:49:05.920 you think about Jerome Ford and all these players that 2183 01:49:05.960 --> 01:49:08.359 Flacco has been throwing to this year. I think I'm 2184 01:49:08.399 --> 01:49:11.439 with you. I think I'm starting Robinson over Judy if 2185 01:49:11.479 --> 01:49:13.359 for no other fact. And I always bring this back, 2186 01:49:13.359 --> 01:49:16.159 and this is why I'm not a fantasy analyst. Fantasy 2187 01:49:16.159 --> 01:49:18.840 football is supposed to be fun. I think Wandale Robinson 2188 01:49:18.880 --> 01:49:21.000 does a more fun start with Jackson Dart throwing to 2189 01:49:21.079 --> 01:49:23.319 him this week over Jerry Judy. So that's the way 2190 01:49:23.359 --> 01:49:27.399 I lean on that. Over to tight ends, Let's get 2191 01:49:27.439 --> 01:49:31.680 to Nashville and talk about Chig a con Quo this week, 2192 01:49:32.399 --> 01:49:34.119 a tight end that I think a lot of pundits 2193 01:49:34.159 --> 01:49:37.319 out there are expecting bigger things, predicting bigger things for 2194 01:49:37.399 --> 01:49:40.119 him as the season goes on. He gets a tough 2195 01:49:40.159 --> 01:49:44.800 matchup in Houston this week against that Texans defense Brenton Strange, 2196 01:49:44.800 --> 01:49:47.119 who's been very good so far for the Jaguars, especially 2197 01:49:47.159 --> 01:49:49.840 last week six for sixty one, sixty two, something like that. 2198 01:49:50.399 --> 01:49:53.119 He goes to San Francisco, so they're both on the road. 2199 01:49:53.399 --> 01:49:55.920 You can only pick one. I feel like I'm leaning 2200 01:49:55.920 --> 01:49:58.800 more towards Brenton Strange on this given his volume lately. 2201 01:50:00.119 --> 01:50:02.640 Iyo Manners has still been getting a lot of targets 2202 01:50:02.960 --> 01:50:05.560 for the Titans. Ridley's getting a lot of targets. He's 2203 01:50:05.600 --> 01:50:08.680 not cashing in on him, and I guess the thing working. 2204 01:50:09.000 --> 01:50:11.880 You know, Conquo's favor is cam Ward just refuses to 2205 01:50:11.920 --> 01:50:14.119 throw to his running backs. But if you can only 2206 01:50:14.159 --> 01:50:16.399 pick one this week and you have to start either 2207 01:50:16.439 --> 01:50:19.399 Stranger or O Conquo Jack Miller from established the run, 2208 01:50:19.399 --> 01:50:20.600 which way are you rolling? 2209 01:50:21.319 --> 01:50:24.760 I'd also be going strange, mostly just as a function 2210 01:50:24.840 --> 01:50:27.439 of the matchup. I mean, cam Ward has been he 2211 01:50:27.479 --> 01:50:30.319 hasn't been bad, but I mean the Titans offense has 2212 01:50:30.359 --> 01:50:34.039 has looked pretty bad overall, and this matchup on the 2213 01:50:34.119 --> 01:50:36.600 road against Houston is just as bad as it gets 2214 01:50:36.600 --> 01:50:40.840 for rookie quarterback. Easier matchup, first range, and so I'm 2215 01:50:40.840 --> 01:50:41.720 going with strange. 2216 01:50:42.239 --> 01:50:45.199 Yeah. I got the Texans defense deployed in more than 2217 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:47.319 a few leagues this week, very excited to see what 2218 01:50:47.359 --> 01:50:49.680 they are able to do. Cam Ward is one of 2219 01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:51.640 these I don't I'm not putting him in the Jamis 2220 01:50:51.640 --> 01:50:55.239 Winston category yet, but he might ultimately fall there. I 2221 01:50:55.279 --> 01:50:57.119 love the fact that this guy's always trying to make 2222 01:50:57.119 --> 01:51:00.520 a play, constantly pumping the ball down. Feel well, that's 2223 01:51:00.560 --> 01:51:03.359 what we want to see from fantasy quarterbacks, and quite frankly, 2224 01:51:03.399 --> 01:51:05.039 it's what we want to see from our defense is 2225 01:51:05.039 --> 01:51:07.960 when we're going up against quarterbacks like that as well. 2226 01:51:08.359 --> 01:51:11.640 Sticking with the tight ends here, I'll get to another 2227 01:51:11.640 --> 01:51:13.680 one that I think is probably only going to affect 2228 01:51:13.800 --> 01:51:17.439 FFPC players looking to flex out a tight end this week? 2229 01:51:17.560 --> 01:51:20.560 Would you play Dallas Goddard at Tampa or would you 2230 01:51:20.600 --> 01:51:24.119 play JANEU Smith who is at well, I say at home. 2231 01:51:24.239 --> 01:51:28.359 He's in Dublin across the pond against the Minnesota Vikings. 2232 01:51:28.520 --> 01:51:31.880 Jenue Smith, John Smith beg your pardon or Dallas Goddard 2233 01:51:31.920 --> 01:51:34.640 this week? Jack, I think it's very close between the two. 2234 01:51:35.000 --> 01:51:37.359 Quite frankly, I think I roll with Goddard, but man, 2235 01:51:37.399 --> 01:51:37.880 I don't know. 2236 01:51:38.880 --> 01:51:41.239 Yeah, I think I go got her to. The pass 2237 01:51:41.279 --> 01:51:43.960 volume for the Eagles has just been so bad, but 2238 01:51:44.039 --> 01:51:46.479 I think the scoring up side for this team is 2239 01:51:46.560 --> 01:51:48.840 just a lot higher than it is for Pittsburgh, and 2240 01:51:48.880 --> 01:51:51.880 so often tight end production is just who falls into 2241 01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:54.199 the end zone. And I think you can feel better 2242 01:51:54.199 --> 01:51:56.520 about the Eagles putting out points as bad as it's 2243 01:51:56.560 --> 01:51:57.319 been for them so far. 2244 01:51:57.479 --> 01:51:59.079 Then Johnny Smith. 2245 01:52:00.439 --> 01:52:02.680 The whole running thing that they're doing in Philly. I 2246 01:52:02.680 --> 01:52:05.560 mean this is they can't continue to do this, right. 2247 01:52:05.600 --> 01:52:07.640 I mean, we're gonna see AJ Brown. We saw a 2248 01:52:07.760 --> 01:52:10.399 J Brown bust out last week. But we're gonna see 2249 01:52:10.479 --> 01:52:13.079 more consistent play from Brown and Smith and Hurts of 2250 01:52:13.119 --> 01:52:15.760 the passing game, right or are we not? I don't. 2251 01:52:15.800 --> 01:52:17.760 I don't know what to think. I just get so 2252 01:52:17.880 --> 01:52:21.720 fed up with watching how this Eagles team wins games 2253 01:52:21.760 --> 01:52:24.199 this year. And God bless them. You know, they don't 2254 01:52:24.239 --> 01:52:26.920 care about fantasy, nor should they. They're just all about 2255 01:52:26.920 --> 01:52:28.840 winning games. But it has been annoying to watch. 2256 01:52:29.560 --> 01:52:33.319 Yeah, it's not an athletically pleasing brand of football, but 2257 01:52:33.359 --> 01:52:35.720 it works, and it worked for them. Last year. They 2258 01:52:36.079 --> 01:52:40.840 were more pass heavy than they were last year. They 2259 01:52:40.880 --> 01:52:43.640 were pass heavier last year, but it was mostly just 2260 01:52:43.680 --> 01:52:47.119 from a volume standpoint. The past eight is not that different. 2261 01:52:47.560 --> 01:52:49.760 It's just that they had more plays and had more 2262 01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:54.319 total passing plays last year. They're not suddenly like running 2263 01:52:54.359 --> 01:52:57.319 them all like significantly less than last year. So I 2264 01:52:57.319 --> 01:52:59.399 think they play the pass long is gonna correct a 2265 01:52:59.439 --> 01:53:02.760 little bit. I still think it's going to Bedlow's volume 2266 01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:06.640 pass offense in football, but maybe closer to like twenty 2267 01:53:06.680 --> 01:53:08.920 seven pass the times per game as opposed to twenty two, 2268 01:53:09.039 --> 01:53:12.000 which makes a pretty sizable difference. 2269 01:53:12.119 --> 01:53:15.239 Totally, especially when you're considering that a lot of people 2270 01:53:15.279 --> 01:53:18.840 invested some serious draft capital in aj Brown, Demonta Smith, 2271 01:53:18.880 --> 01:53:21.119 and quite frankly Saquon Barkley, who needs some of those 2272 01:53:21.159 --> 01:53:25.520 catches as well. The first quarter has come to an end. 2273 01:53:26.279 --> 01:53:29.960 Kyler Murray was sacked for eight in eight yard loss 2274 01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:32.760 on second and seven, and then he runs for four 2275 01:53:32.880 --> 01:53:36.039 yards on third and fifteen. When they resume on Prime Video, 2276 01:53:36.439 --> 01:53:38.800 it will be with a Cardinals punt from their own 2277 01:53:38.840 --> 01:53:41.840 twenty one, sending it back to Sam Darnold. We press 2278 01:53:41.920 --> 01:53:45.840 on here, j G on YouTube right now, Jack wants 2279 01:53:45.880 --> 01:53:48.680 to know if we would trade Bres Hall and the 2280 01:53:48.760 --> 01:53:52.479 Monross Saint Brown in exchange for Jamar Chase and Devon 2281 01:53:52.680 --> 01:53:56.000 h Chant. Now, Brice Hall, certainly, I think things are 2282 01:53:56.000 --> 01:53:59.920 looking up for him. This coronation of Braylen Allen that 2283 01:54:00.039 --> 01:54:03.920 a lot of people saw happening during drafting season certainly 2284 01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:06.800 has not happened. You have a Monross Saint Brown who 2285 01:54:06.840 --> 01:54:09.239 a lot of people said the ascension of Jamison Williams 2286 01:54:09.279 --> 01:54:11.479 was going to happen this year under the new John 2287 01:54:11.520 --> 01:54:15.119 Morton offense, it was gonna be a Williams offense rather 2288 01:54:15.159 --> 01:54:19.039 than a Saint Brown offense. That has been widely exaggerated 2289 01:54:19.079 --> 01:54:21.800 as well. So you have Bresol and Saint Brown here 2290 01:54:22.119 --> 01:54:25.680 on one side. You have Jamar Chase, who obviously will 2291 01:54:25.680 --> 01:54:27.479 take a bit of a hit, not a strong hit 2292 01:54:27.520 --> 01:54:30.159 in my opinion. In the move from Burrow to Browning, 2293 01:54:30.239 --> 01:54:32.279 we've seen a lot of these backup quarterbacks able to 2294 01:54:32.359 --> 01:54:35.800 keep that number one option not only a float, but thriving. 2295 01:54:36.039 --> 01:54:38.479 And then Devon ah Chan, who is the ultimate wildcard. 2296 01:54:38.520 --> 01:54:40.479 And maybe this trade hinges on what you think is 2297 01:54:40.479 --> 01:54:43.199 gonna happen with eight Chan and that Dolphins offense. I'm 2298 01:54:43.239 --> 01:54:46.439 still bullish on him for whatever reason, even when that 2299 01:54:46.560 --> 01:54:49.159 offensive line is bad, even when the offense in general 2300 01:54:49.279 --> 01:54:52.079 is bad. Ah Chant always seems to be doing numbers. 2301 01:54:52.720 --> 01:54:55.600 He's been very efficient both in the running game and 2302 01:54:55.640 --> 01:54:58.520 in the passing game. This is a coin flip for me. 2303 01:54:58.600 --> 01:55:00.479 I'm trying to figure out which side I'd rather have. 2304 01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:03.680 I think it's chasing Chan, but man, it's close. 2305 01:55:04.520 --> 01:55:07.119 Yeah. I spent that whole time thinking about this because 2306 01:55:07.119 --> 01:55:10.960 I wasn't sure either. I prefer Amira to Chase, and 2307 01:55:11.000 --> 01:55:14.399 I prefer Hn to Breeze. I think for me, the 2308 01:55:14.479 --> 01:55:17.039 gap between the running backs is bigger than the gap 2309 01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:19.720 between the wide receivers, and so I Aileen Chase and 2310 01:55:19.840 --> 01:55:23.159 h N as well. But I think this is one 2311 01:55:23.199 --> 01:55:26.560 of the fairest trades we've talked about so far. 2312 01:55:27.199 --> 01:55:29.880 So JG hopefully that helps out, helps you out. Jack 2313 01:55:29.880 --> 01:55:31.600 and I are both signing off on this deal to 2314 01:55:31.680 --> 01:55:34.399 trade Hall and Saint Brown and get Chase in Chen 2315 01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:37.079 and go with God on this. We'll see what happens. 2316 01:55:37.680 --> 01:55:39.560 We have wrapped up the tight end discussion. Want to 2317 01:55:39.560 --> 01:55:42.239 get to a couple more start since at the quarterback position. 2318 01:55:42.279 --> 01:55:44.600 A couple of players that we've talked about a little 2319 01:55:44.640 --> 01:55:46.800 bit tonight but never compared him to each other a 2320 01:55:46.880 --> 01:55:50.560 Monro Saint Brown's teammate Jared Goff this week at home 2321 01:55:50.640 --> 01:55:53.800 against the Cleveland Browns. Would you play him? Or would 2322 01:55:53.800 --> 01:55:57.319 you play Gino Smith? At home against the Chicago Bears. 2323 01:55:57.560 --> 01:55:59.840 Not that I'm trying to poison your mind here, J, 2324 01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:03.199 but the Lions are ten point favorites against the Bounds 2325 01:56:03.319 --> 01:56:06.840 in a total featuring forty four and a half points. 2326 01:56:07.119 --> 01:56:09.840 Whereas you look at the Bears and the Steelers. I 2327 01:56:09.840 --> 01:56:13.199 beg your pardon. The Bears and the Raiders. Raiders are 2328 01:56:13.199 --> 01:56:15.239 one and a half point favorites, and it is a 2329 01:56:15.319 --> 01:56:18.640 forty seven and a half point total. Spoiler alert. I 2330 01:56:18.640 --> 01:56:22.239 think I'm leaning towards Geno Smith here, but you are 2331 01:56:22.239 --> 01:56:25.520 a pervasive man, persuasive man, so maybe you can sell 2332 01:56:25.560 --> 01:56:27.520 me it is it is at home for Jared Goff 2333 01:56:27.560 --> 01:56:29.880 where he plays really, really well at least. 2334 01:56:30.680 --> 01:56:33.279 Yeah, I think I think I tilt towards Gino too. 2335 01:56:33.479 --> 01:56:36.439 I think this one's really close because the Lions should 2336 01:56:36.439 --> 01:56:38.239 be able to put up points, but I think it's 2337 01:56:38.239 --> 01:56:41.359 more likely that the Raiders are passing than the Lions 2338 01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:43.520 might be able to just sit on sit on a 2339 01:56:43.640 --> 01:56:47.039 lead with with David Montgomery and Gibbs. So this one's 2340 01:56:47.039 --> 01:56:48.760 pretty close for me, but i'm Geno as well. 2341 01:56:49.479 --> 01:56:54.359 An implied point total of twenty seven for the Detroit Lions. 2342 01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:58.560 As I look at the the Raiders, it looks like 2343 01:56:58.560 --> 01:57:03.079 about twenty five twenty six implied point total for Las 2344 01:57:03.199 --> 01:57:06.960 Vegas as well, so it's very close. Listen, I think 2345 01:57:06.960 --> 01:57:08.880 you can go with Golf if you want to here, 2346 01:57:08.920 --> 01:57:11.439 but I lean towards Geno Smith as does my good 2347 01:57:11.439 --> 01:57:14.439 buddy Jack Miller Final one tonight, and I'll bring this up. 2348 01:57:15.359 --> 01:57:18.239 My bust of the year on my local fantasy football 2349 01:57:18.239 --> 01:57:22.159 show was Baker Mayfield, Jack and a lot of the reason, 2350 01:57:22.279 --> 01:57:24.399 I mean, there was a multiple multitude of reasons that 2351 01:57:24.439 --> 01:57:26.359 went into that. I just feel like this dude was 2352 01:57:26.359 --> 01:57:28.880 punching above his weight last year. I think about where 2353 01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:30.640 you had to pick him and drafts. This year, I 2354 01:57:30.640 --> 01:57:35.600 didn't think he was worth it, and I don't like 2355 01:57:35.680 --> 01:57:39.279 him this week against Philadelphia. However, I can't deny what 2356 01:57:39.359 --> 01:57:41.680 he's been able to do from a fantasy standpoint so 2357 01:57:41.760 --> 01:57:44.119 far this year. He's looked very good. I think he's 2358 01:57:44.119 --> 01:57:46.479 tied for second in the NFL and touchdown passes, so 2359 01:57:46.520 --> 01:57:49.520 he's certainly up at the top of certain metrics, maybe 2360 01:57:49.560 --> 01:57:52.760 at the bottom or in the middle of some other metrics. 2361 01:57:52.880 --> 01:57:55.760 If you had a decision between Mayfield and bow Nicks 2362 01:57:55.800 --> 01:58:01.439 this week, who bow Nicks is obviously playing against the 2363 01:58:01.479 --> 01:58:04.279 Cincinnati Bengals on the second Monday night football game. I 2364 01:58:04.279 --> 01:58:06.840 haven't mentioned that yet as well. There's two Monday Night 2365 01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:10.039 games this week, but bo Nick's a really good matchup 2366 01:58:10.039 --> 01:58:12.760 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Baker Mayfield not a great matchup 2367 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:15.239 against Philly. Who would you rather start this week as 2368 01:58:15.239 --> 01:58:16.720 your quarterback, Mayfield or Nicks. 2369 01:58:17.720 --> 01:58:21.439 I think, just based on matchup, it's Nicks. I think 2370 01:58:21.479 --> 01:58:24.359 in general i'd rather have it. It's definitely Baker. But 2371 01:58:24.439 --> 01:58:27.079 I think just this is pretty much the best possible 2372 01:58:27.079 --> 01:58:30.439 matchup or second best behind Dallas, and almost the worst 2373 01:58:30.439 --> 01:58:33.800 possible matchup for Baker, So I go Nicks here. There 2374 01:58:33.880 --> 01:58:35.920 was also some weird stuff with Baker today where he 2375 01:58:36.079 --> 01:58:38.720 was like dropping back at practice but they wouldn't let 2376 01:58:38.760 --> 01:58:39.159 him throw. 2377 01:58:40.520 --> 01:58:43.279 Called it like a bicep. I assume he's gonna play. 2378 01:58:43.640 --> 01:58:47.960 He's He's had worse stuff and not not miss time, 2379 01:58:48.039 --> 01:58:49.920 but I I just something to keep an eye out. 2380 01:58:50.520 --> 01:58:53.760 I do remember him shaking his throwing hand quite a 2381 01:58:53.800 --> 01:58:56.000 bit in that last game last week, so I wonder 2382 01:58:56.000 --> 01:58:58.079 if that has something to do. I don't know, but 2383 01:58:58.119 --> 01:59:00.960 you're right, I think i'd be between these two. I'd 2384 01:59:01.039 --> 01:59:03.239 rather have Mayfield on my roster the rest of the way, 2385 01:59:03.279 --> 01:59:06.560 but definitely I'm playing Nicks over Mayfield this week for sure. 2386 01:59:07.199 --> 01:59:08.840 And that's going to do it for our show tonight, Jack, 2387 01:59:08.880 --> 01:59:10.439 Before we let you get out of here and enjoy 2388 01:59:10.439 --> 01:59:13.720 the rest of this game, as we still have a 2389 01:59:14.159 --> 01:59:16.239 seven to three ball game fourteen minutes ago in the 2390 01:59:16.239 --> 01:59:21.920 first half.
