1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:08,679
Speaker 1: Waiver claims have to be made, and I've got trade

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:16,760
proposals fly in my way. My first round pig turned

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,160
out to be a big flop. I don't know which

4
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:29,760
wide receiver I need to drive, Doctor roto give me

5
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,719
the news. I really don't know what I should do.

6
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,920
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad case

7
00:00:39,079 --> 00:00:43,079
of fair deceived blues.

8
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:44,399
Speaker 2: With it.

9
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 3: It is the fastest thirty beutees of major market radio,

10
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:51,359
the one the only Doctor roto here on Sports Talk

11
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,280
seven ninety congratulation, Doctor Rode. The NFL worried about you

12
00:00:56,359 --> 00:01:00,320
fantasy gurus out there. They just find the rams hundred

13
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,759
thousand dollars for not telling the truth about Lamar Jackson's

14
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:03,960
injury status last week.

15
00:01:05,079 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it was kind of ridiculous. Then everybody

16
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,120
in their fantasy leagues thinks he was starting in all

17
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,040
of us in the last second. Now we're gonna see

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,159
a little less Snoopuntley. So look, they should be telling players.

19
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,519
The NBA is even worse. You know that MT it's

20
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:20,599
like five minutes before starting, you're like, oh, he's not playing.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,120
That's ridiculous. There's a lot, you know, with the DraftKings

22
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:29,799
and fan duel and the gambling component. Now this information

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
is even more critical, and I think all these leagues

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,000
need to do a better job of getting it out there.

25
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,079
Speaker 3: All right, I want to start with the local game

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,280
here because I'm very curious about what to do with

27
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,280
a variety of things. First and foremost, the Texans defense

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,840
really quashed everything that San Francisco did last week, which

29
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,040
says I because McCaffrey was having a good season and

30
00:01:49,439 --> 00:01:51,840
mac Jones was doing all right for himself. You've got

31
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,000
this return of Nicocollins, and you've got Christian Kirk and

32
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,640
I think you know Dalton Schultz did practice today, so

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,280
you got a spot there. How are you sizing up

34
00:02:01,319 --> 00:02:03,400
who plays and who sits on both sides? Because this

35
00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:06,480
one could be on paper it feels like a very

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:07,959
low scoring football game coming.

37
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: Up, and Las Vegas agrees with you. I mean, right now,

38
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,719
this game is like a forty total. Here's the problem.

39
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
We know when CJ. Stroud has time to throw, he's

40
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,759
really effective. And the forty nine ers without Bosa, without

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,599
Fred Warner, they don't have a pass rush. But now

42
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:26,159
you got Denver. Denver has a pass rush even though

43
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:28,840
they don't have Patrick Sartan. I think that Stroud is

44
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,479
going to be under siege, and because of that, I worry, Right,

45
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,759
I just don't know whether this is one of those

46
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,960
weeks where this game explodes. On the other side, Texas

47
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,759
defense has been tremendous, so I really feel like this game.

48
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,680
I think Vegas has it right. Maybe it's twenty one twenty.

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,439
Am I going to start Stroud? Not if I can

50
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:50,280
help it. Nick Woody Mars has an injured calf, as

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,840
we know, I think he's very questionable. I mean, when

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520
I start Nick Chubb maybe against his Broncos defense, I

53
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,000
think Dalton Schultz is gonna play. I think Nico Collins

54
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,919
is obviously in play outside of Collins and schulso I'll

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,520
stay away. On the other side, I mean, I know RJ.

56
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,439
Parvey had a tremendous week. I'm not going back there.

57
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Maybe Courtland Sutton, but I just don't think this is

58
00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:13,840
the game that I want to be starting for fantasy purposes.

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: All right, Well, take your questions and come ins for

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,599
Doctor Rodo in the next segment of the show at

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,199
seven one three, two, one two five seven ninety seven

62
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:22,680
to one to three two one two five seven ninety.

63
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:25,080
Let's get right to the marquee matchup of the weekend.

64
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,159
And while the Texans Broncos may be a little scoring affair,

65
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,560
uh fifty two and a half actually feels kind of

66
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560
low in the Chiefs and Bills. What is your sense

67
00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:35,439
of that after Vegas gave up that line.

68
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Vegas was like, hello, there's gonna be points here,

69
00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:40,520
and they will. So first of all, I think what

70
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,840
happens is Josh Allen has those great games when he

71
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:46,319
gets pushed. She's obviously going to be pushed. He wasn't

72
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:49,240
pushed last week against Carolina when James Cook ran for

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,159
a million yards. The thing is Chiefs are not very

74
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:54,960
good against mobile quarterbacks, but the Chiefs are good at

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,560
stopping the run. So I think this makes it not

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,560
a James Cook week, but it is ash out in

77
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,759
a week. I don't think I really love any of

78
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,759
his receivers. I would start Dalton Kincaid, I'm okay with Shakir,

79
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,159
but the rest of them I would stay away from.

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,400
On the other side, you're absolutely starting Mahomes, but Cheko

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560
is likely not going to go. I think Kareem Hunt

82
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:16,600
is in play. You know, Buffalo's run defense is not

83
00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:19,879
very good. Rashi Rice is always in play. I mean,

84
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,959
this guy is special and now we're seeing it more

85
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,560
than ever. And I think Kelsey is in play as well.

86
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,720
So I think the quarterbacks are sensational if you have them.

87
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:30,399
I think Mahome is going to run for forty yards

88
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:32,759
as well. I mean, Buffalo's run defense is not bad,

89
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:36,839
but it's some homes. It's Rice, it's Hunt, it's Kelsey.

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,600
On the other side, it's Allen for sure. King kaid,

91
00:04:40,879 --> 00:04:43,720
you could start cook because you might not have better options.

92
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:46,000
But Chiefs run defense is very good, all right.

93
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: The Colts are the surprise of the league this year

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,160
at seven and one. I don't think anybody's thinking they're

95
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,399
going to go sixteen in one and on. This is

96
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,639
a trap because they've had so many blowouts this year.

97
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,639
But could the Colts from a scale position wise, have

98
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,360
trouble at Pittsburgh this Sunday.

99
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: I like where you're going with the trap, MT I do.

100
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000
I mean Steelers were not good last week, and all

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,360
of a sudden, the Colts have been great. It feels

102
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,199
like a game where, oh, the Colts are gonna win.

103
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,839
This is an easy one. It's never easy in the NFL.

104
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,959
I think Aaron Rodgers has a great week this week,

105
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,800
I do. I think Dk Metcalf has a great week.

106
00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:19,279
Chalen Warren is in play. I think even John hus

107
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:21,399
Smith is in play. Why are they gonna play? Even

108
00:05:21,399 --> 00:05:23,879
if the Colts win? The Colts usually let up in

109
00:05:23,879 --> 00:05:25,720
the fourth quarter, so you get a lot of garbage

110
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,720
time production. Look at Jamry dk last week, who had

111
00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,639
sixteen Fantasy points for the Titans. So I think all

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,720
those guys are playable for the Colts. Daniel Jones, get

113
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,600
him in your lineups, Jonathan Taylor, get him in your lineups.

114
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,079
And I'm gonna give you a surprising guy, Alec Pierce.

115
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,959
I know, I know, ridiculous, right, yeah, But Pittsburgh Blitz

116
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,279
is a lot Pierce. When they go to the Blitz,

117
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,480
they look for him. So I'm fine with Pittman, I'm

118
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,120
fine with Downs, I'm fine with Tyler Warren. But if

119
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,759
you're looking for a sneaky play of the week, Alec

120
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,279
Pierce might be your guy. All right?

121
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: Can the Niners bounce back at New York? It's two

122
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,920
trips east significantly distance. Isn't this one going to the Giants?

123
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,759
Giants feel a little Bit Snake Bit after their performances

124
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,680
in the last couple of weeks, Will mac Jones and

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,199
company get back on track at New York this Saturday Sunday.

126
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they win. But I mean Vegas has

127
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,360
this as a forty eight and a half spot, and

128
00:06:17,399 --> 00:06:19,879
I kind of agree. I think Jackson Dart, Jackson Dart

129
00:06:19,879 --> 00:06:22,319
has been sensational. And you know what makes Jackson Dart

130
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:24,639
even more interesting now you don't have Scataboo there anymore.

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,199
Tyrone Tracy tends to fumble by the goal line, so

132
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,759
Dabe doesn't like to use him. I can see Jackson

133
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,000
Dart running in a touchdown easily. Wondale Robson, I think

134
00:06:33,079 --> 00:06:35,519
is certainly in play because the forty nine ers not

135
00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:38,160
good against slot receivers. Look what Jaalen Nole did last week.

136
00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,399
So I think Wandale's in play. So and Tyrone Tracy

137
00:06:41,439 --> 00:06:42,920
is going to be the new starting running back to

138
00:06:42,959 --> 00:06:47,160
the Giants. So you have Wandale, Dart and Tracy for

139
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,360
the Giants. On the other side, McCaffrey janim into your

140
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:53,839
lineup as this guy in I also like Juwan Jennings

141
00:06:53,879 --> 00:06:56,720
a ton and you know, let's start with those guys

142
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,199
kittles always in play. But the Giants do have a

143
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,560
very good defense line, so they may need to have

144
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,920
him block a little bit more. But I love Jennings

145
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,839
and I love McCaffery.

146
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I find myself now

147
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,639
that I've got Drake May firmly in trench of my

148
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,639
starting lineup. He gets off sometimes with some slow starts,

149
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,199
and then I look mid third quarter, mid fourth he's

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,519
got twenty three or twenty four Fantasy points. You anticipate

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,920
that kind of run this week against the Atlanta Falcons.

152
00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:22,199
Speaker 2: I do I really like Drake mayna sleep. So here's

153
00:07:22,199 --> 00:07:24,720
a couple of things we know want. Ramandra Stevenson is out.

154
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,199
They confirm that too. Falcons is the best team in

155
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,639
the NFL against the post and tight ends. So this

156
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,160
doesn't feel like a Hunter Henry or Austin Hooper week,

157
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,959
even the Austin Hooper revenge. Now there, if you believe

158
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,680
in that Travon Henderson Mike Vrabel hates this guy, now,

159
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,800
you would think that Henderson should have a good week here, right,

160
00:07:43,279 --> 00:07:45,959
I would think that too, But I just don't see that.

161
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,079
So what do I see? I see Drake May throwing

162
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,519
a dig I see Drake May throwing a boute. I

163
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,240
think Drake May throwing a de Mario Douglas. I think

164
00:07:53,319 --> 00:07:55,759
Drake May is a great start this week.

165
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: All right, U Cowboys score, that's no problem with that,

166
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:03,319
but they're deep horrific. If I've got anybody on the Cardinals,

167
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:05,439
do I give him a shot in Dallas this weekend

168
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,240
because that Dallas defense is so porous.

169
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, we're going to start four guys. I don't

170
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,519
feel great about Kyler, so with you, you're starting May over Kyler.

171
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,759
I don't care if it's Cowboys, don't care. Secondly, Bam

172
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,480
Knight is likely going to be the start of their

173
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,439
Dallas can't stop to run. So if you're desperate, which

174
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,680
some people might be with four teams on buy, you

175
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,759
can start him. I love Marvin Harrison Junior this week.

176
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,199
I love him, but I mean he's dependent on Kyler.

177
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,279
As Kyler goes, Marvin goes. That's the scary thing. But

178
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,360
I love Marvin Harrison, and of course we love Trey McBride.

179
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,919
So McBride and Harrison are locks and lineups. Dam Knight

180
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,840
if you need him all.

181
00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: Right time Now for the obligatory Sports RV Question of

182
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:44,639
the week.

183
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: I'm glad he brought up Bam Knight because I'm starting.

184
00:08:47,279 --> 00:08:49,480
Don't laugh too hard. I'm starting Bam Knight and Woody

185
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:52,159
Marks if he's available this week, Doctor Roto. It's rough

186
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,799
going right now, but anyways, I'm also starting the Texans defense.

187
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:58,000
Just your thoughts on them this week and maybe some

188
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,240
options you think that aren't normally good defense this is,

189
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,919
but are good streaming options this week?

190
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think, look, the Texans defense is

191
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,639
pretty dune good and this division is not. I mean,

192
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:10,200
is it done well, it's getting close to being done.

193
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,519
But I think the Texans get into the playoffs because

194
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:15,519
of that defense. So certainly, you know, bo Nicks can

195
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,320
make some mistakes. I think they're a good start. Please

196
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,399
get it, go, get the Rams, Go get the Rams

197
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,240
right now, Tyler Shuck, are you kidding me? I mean

198
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,720
this could be a nightmare. So the Rams feel like

199
00:09:25,759 --> 00:09:27,159
a team that's going to put up I don't know,

200
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480
twelve to fourteen points this week, and they were run

201
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:32,159
by last week, so a lot of people might have

202
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,480
dropped them. So right now, the Rams and the Jaguars

203
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,039
are the two teams that I'm looking at defensively, the

204
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,039
Jaguar has been very aggressive and the Jaguars are hanging

205
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,360
on to a playoff spot as well, So I think

206
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:45,240
those are two teams that you can get those defenses

207
00:09:45,279 --> 00:09:45,679
on the cheap.

208
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: All right, time now for your question seven one three two,

209
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:51,840
one two five seven ninety seven to one three two,

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,960
one two, five seven nine zero. I love your analysis

211
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,320
because I just picked up the Jacksonville defense for this week,

212
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,840
So thank you very much. Talking rode over for that

213
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,639
if we pay him for the Big Byte
