Speaker 1: Just choose ten or twelve players if you want to
Speaker 1: play with kickers and defenses and watch them ride throughout

Speaker 1: prospects against the Rams and what could be a very
Speaker 1: fruitful fantasy football game, whether the aforementioned westber Kakini is
Speaker 1: going to pull another rabbit out of his hat, and
Speaker 1: much more. I cannot do this by myself. I have
Speaker 1: to bring in the co host with the most the
Speaker 1: definitive commissioner of Fantasy football one Fararell Elliott Farrell. Happy
Speaker 1: Friday to you, and welcome.
Speaker 3: In, buddy. It is so good to see you. I'm
Speaker 3: reviewing my contract, you said tonight's co host, And I
Speaker 3: thought I had a yearly gig here and now I'm
Speaker 3: to get into wonder n all college football coaches right now,
Speaker 3: just beginning to try to read between the lines what's happening.
Speaker 3: Understanding that I could be out based on my week's twelve,
Speaker 3: thirteen and fourteen performance. Well twelve and thirteen in the FFPC,
Speaker 3: I may deserve to be out.
Speaker 1: But the other conversation, we don't often get breaking news
Speaker 1: on this program, but I'm just you know we do
Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah, yeah, well I do have some
Speaker 1: breaking news coming in right now. Apparently the HSFF hour
Speaker 1: has reached a long term agreement with one Farrell Elliott
Speaker 1: to be the long term co host for the show indefinitely.
Speaker 1: You have the golden contract, Farreh. It's till part, till
Speaker 1: death do us part. Basically it is. It's exciting because
Speaker 1: we kick off the KFFFC Championship Round this weekend. We
Speaker 1: did last night with the Packers and Lions that is ongoing,
Speaker 1: and of course FFPC League Championship weekend. Everybody setting their
Speaker 1: sites on league titles. Scott Christian already popping in saying
Speaker 1: good evening, Bulky and Farrell it's fantasy football playoffs time,
Speaker 1: let's go. It's the year of the pig and Oinker
Speaker 1: would agree it is indeed the year of the pig.
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with that. Scott wants to know
Speaker 1: or just giving greetings to Ancher here he's he is
Speaker 1: enjoying his new home. I can tell you that right now,
Speaker 1: right Oinncher, Yeah he is, so, he's he's all good,
Speaker 1: all good to go, Farrell. The Packers were not good
Speaker 1: to go last night as they fell to the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions in a really good game thirty four to thirty one.
Speaker 1: Tom Smith brings this this up and I think we
Speaker 1: should lead it off with this Jaden Reid, big old
Speaker 1: zero last night. Not sure he can be trusted going
Speaker 1: forward for the next three weeks during championship run, I
Speaker 1: think I don't want to speak for you, but I
Speaker 1: feel like on this show, while we have said it's
Speaker 1: roulette playing, it's like playing roulette with Packers receivers each
Speaker 1: and every week. The one guy I think we usually
Speaker 1: counted on for at least minimal production, like you know,
Speaker 1: double digit production at a at a at a minimum
Speaker 1: was Jayden Reid. And now you know, granted he had
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns last week against Miami, but you only
Speaker 1: called like three passes that game. This game, no points
Speaker 1: on one target Farrell. They weren't even scheming them into
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, I think you have to look long
Speaker 1: and hard about starting Jaden Reid with you know, a
Speaker 1: million bucks on the line here coming up in the FFPC.
Speaker 3: I felt this about every Packer receiver this year, and
Speaker 3: you know I've been in drafting Packer receivers. I concentrated
Speaker 3: on Watson. I love the athlete, but I don't love
Speaker 3: the situation. This is the best ball crew, it's the
Speaker 3: best ball squad. It's a tip to the cap for
Speaker 3: what they've done with the wide receiver position on this team,
Speaker 3: because these are great football players that it can contribute
Speaker 3: every week. You know, I saw wonderful things for the Packers.
Speaker 3: I thought they went blow to blow with Detroit and
Speaker 3: tremendous player respect for Jordan Love last night, who kept
Speaker 3: plays going through the ball from all different type of angles.
Speaker 3: It's saw the better part of his game, reminding you
Speaker 3: about what you like about the best games. Patrick Mahomes. So,
Speaker 3: it's great to be in business with the Packers, but
Speaker 3: you've got too many players as wide receivers. Let's concentrate
Speaker 3: on what the running back is doing.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: How wonderful was that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other frustrating thing for me as a
Speaker 1: Packers fan. Only sixty six yards for Josh Jacobs. Now,
Speaker 1: maybe that's just the way the game was going. He
Speaker 1: had more yardage than Gibbs, He had more yardage than
Speaker 1: Montgomery on the ground. But I think part of the
Speaker 1: reason that Love has cleaned up his turnover problems over
Speaker 1: the last four weeks where he hadn't turned the ball over.
Speaker 1: Number one is health and number two is this fantastic
Speaker 1: ground game that the Packers had. You know, I was
Speaker 1: at the Dolphins game on Thanksgiving night, and I don't
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I said that the
Speaker 1: Packers looked like the more physical team. But they look
Speaker 1: like the more physical team against Miami, and I don't
Speaker 1: think they got out physical against Detroit, one of the
Speaker 1: most physical teams in the league as well. It's it's
Speaker 1: really weird that one guy in Josh Jacobs could really
Speaker 1: transform the mentality of an offense and the mentality of team.
Speaker 3: He's younger than what they had last year. He's bigger
Speaker 3: and plays with a lot more intent. We've talked about
Speaker 3: what the new, what the change of scenery. He has
Speaker 3: done for all the running backs in football this year,
Speaker 3: and it's been it's been a very good thing. I
Speaker 3: Detroit plays an interesting brand of football, to say the least.
Speaker 3: I heard today and I think I heard this correctly.
Speaker 3: The six touchdowns they've scored against the Packers this year,
Speaker 3: four of them have been on fourth down. A lot
Speaker 3: of coaches that are going to do that. And you know,
Speaker 3: we saw some things at the end of the game
Speaker 3: which we I don't think we had ever seen before
Speaker 3: from any other coach. So this team knows how to
Speaker 3: win Detroit. Does I ran in I think Balkey, would
Speaker 3: you know we need to send a nine to one
Speaker 3: to one flare up for everyone that is moving through
Speaker 3: Week fourteen in the FFPCN incredibly important week with so
Speaker 3: much on the line for the players in Kentucky. Less
Speaker 3: on the line because it's going to be somewhat forgiving
Speaker 3: because our playoff has already started, will run one week
Speaker 3: one week longer. So let's avoid overthinking. You know, I
Speaker 3: had I talked to a guy into starting Jared Goff
Speaker 3: last night. He didn't want to start Jared Goff when
Speaker 3: he came up with all the reasons, which you know
Speaker 3: I patiently listened to and said, well, you've got to
Speaker 3: start Jared Goff. I think his alternative play might have
Speaker 3: been Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: I would have leaned towards Golf there as well.
Speaker 3: He also wanted to discuss when Trevor Lawrence would be
Speaker 3: back and if he should acquire the Raider quarterback. This
Speaker 3: is too much overthinking. Yeah, you know he drafted Jared
Speaker 3: Golf for a reason to play him at home, and
Speaker 3: especially with the Packers that were missing on defense. You know,
Speaker 3: it was a glorious game. We're in We're in store
Speaker 3: for some fantastic matchups in football down down the road
Speaker 3: of the rest of the season. And it's so enjoyable
Speaker 3: to have meaningful games that you're playing in December and
Speaker 3: fantasy football, to have a shot to move up the
Speaker 3: leader boards and win a prize and you don't have
Speaker 3: to overthink it after this weekend. But there's no more buys,
Speaker 3: is that correct?
Speaker 1: Walking, Yeah, it was the last week of eyes had
Speaker 1: we had six teams on buying Week twelve, none and
Speaker 1: week thirteen, and then six again in week fourteen, and
Speaker 1: that's it. You're worry about it.
Speaker 3: There's no more buys. There are injuries, you know, don't
Speaker 3: complain about them because everybody else has experienced them, and
Speaker 3: you should have built a roster to take advantage of them.
Speaker 3: And it's just you know, you're gonna be okay and
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a good time, and just just quit
Speaker 3: overthinking and put your best players out there.
Speaker 1: I think that is a temptation for a lot of
Speaker 1: people with and I you know, I fought against this
Speaker 1: too for years, where I would go through a much
Speaker 1: more rigorous process of starting and sitting in roster management.
Speaker 1: As it gets to the end of the season, and
Speaker 1: you know, roster management aside. I guess with the start
Speaker 1: sit thing, I don't you know, the way I made
Speaker 1: up my mind on on who I bench and who
Speaker 1: I start every week that got me to this point.
Speaker 1: So I really I don't want to like overthink it
Speaker 1: or really you know, take a different approach for the
Speaker 1: end of the season. Well, I think a little bit longer. Sure,
Speaker 1: I just want to make sure I'm making the right thing,
Speaker 1: but I'm not. What do I always say, Pharaoh, do
Speaker 1: you think long? You think wrong? Paralysis by analysis, it's it's.
Speaker 3: It's never you know. I was guilty of that in
Speaker 3: Week twelve and in a matchup that would have really
Speaker 3: worked out for me in the FFPC and the player
Speaker 3: I started, I could have started any other of the
Speaker 3: four players I had on the bench and won the matchup.
Speaker 3: So it's, uh, it's it's just a situation sometimes to
Speaker 3: go with what you know. And we've got a lot,
Speaker 3: We've got a lot of talent in the room. I
Speaker 3: trust all our players' initial thoughts and reactions. I trust
Speaker 3: those more than I trust them analyzing and trying to
Speaker 3: make a case for a player, because you don't have
Speaker 3: to do it now you've not a full roster.
Speaker 1: Bill Hollywood has a question for everyone. He wants us
Speaker 1: to rank these four running backs for this week and
Speaker 1: for the remainder of the season. Sincere McCormick, Patrick Taylor,
Speaker 1: Travis Homer, and then Davis. Who would the Davis beat
Speaker 1: Beryl L.
Speaker 3: Davis, who's been talking about it.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought right away is Terrell Davis. I'm
Speaker 1: assuming that is. Let's see if I can find it here,
Speaker 1: Ray Davis probably for That's probably what it is. It's
Speaker 1: either Ray Davis or Isaiah Davis for the Jets. Let's
Speaker 1: let's assume it's Ray. So I would ring what have
Speaker 1: you gotten yourself into? I mean, if if I like,
Speaker 1: if I'm looking at this ups, I'll throw it back
Speaker 1: up there again, Ray Davis is number one for me.
Speaker 1: After that, I would probably say, had I would go,
Speaker 1: I would I would go Davis, Taylor, McCormick, and Travis Homer.
Speaker 1: The reason being Ray Davis could be a potential I
Speaker 1: know this term gets tossed around a lot, but he
Speaker 1: could be a potential league winner if James Cook misses
Speaker 1: any time, So you want to make sure you have him.
Speaker 1: Patrick Taylor is one injury way. I do believe he
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy behind Grindo over Israel
Speaker 1: Abanacanada right now. So I want to have him Travis
Speaker 1: Homer or Sincere McCormick has has really come through the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks for the Raiders. However, bear in
Speaker 1: mind a mirror duellist in that backfield, and you have
Speaker 1: Madison questionable this week, so Madison might play, which kind
Speaker 1: of neuters him a little bit. And then Travis Homer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he could start this week, which is which is great
Speaker 1: against the Niners if Roshawn Johnson is out and and
Speaker 1: if DeAndre Swift is out, but if they come back,
Speaker 1: I mean's he's the number three running back for the Bears,
Speaker 1: So it's I just don't see a whole lot of
Speaker 1: upside there, so I would rank him Davis Taylor McCormick.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 3: Who are the Bears playing this weekend?
Speaker 1: San Francisco?
Speaker 3: Are you sure about that?
Speaker 1: I thought, Hold on, now, I'm not sure.
Speaker 3: Double check.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know it's the Niners there, It's it's in
Speaker 1: Santa Clara, Bears somewhere else. Buffalo is the is the Rams?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Buffalo is at the Rams.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, well I stand correct. You know, is you
Speaker 3: got to figure out the games, the that handy schedule
Speaker 3: that the ff PC gives out. I should be hanging
Speaker 3: on to that here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sure.
Speaker 3: So the player that's most reliable here is Davis. The
Speaker 3: player this most interesting here is McCormick. McCormick. I really
Speaker 3: liked this player in college. You know, he's a smaller
Speaker 3: school player, but a second or third team All American
Speaker 3: I can't remember. I saw him play against Louisiana Tech.
Speaker 3: He scored three touchdowns. Louisiana attack was no slouch that
Speaker 3: year towards ACL very early in twenty twenty three. So,
Speaker 3: you know, just a hungry player playing on a team
Speaker 3: that nothing has really worked, and they're looking for answers.
Speaker 3: But Davis is your easy start. It's here because he's got,
Speaker 3: as you well said, buck In the most potential upside.
Speaker 3: So I'm just basically repeating what you said. But keep
Speaker 3: an eye on keep an eye on what's happening with
Speaker 3: the Raiders. That might be when they start a player
Speaker 3: that might be a potential player you can into if
Speaker 3: you need a high.
Speaker 1: Sideh Permar has a question here for us. I think
Speaker 1: this is really interesting. Uh, Jameis Winston or Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: Winston in a potential shootout environment at Pittsburgh this week
Speaker 1: where they are six and a half point dog, So
Speaker 1: a positive game script for Jameis Winston or Justin Herbert
Speaker 1: who has been as as Permar puts it sluggish and
Speaker 1: he is not going to have JK. Dobbins available in
Speaker 1: that ground game. The Chargers really struggled to get anything
Speaker 1: going with that ground game without Dobbins. Last week Chargers
Speaker 1: go to Arrowhead. They are four point underdogs. Total on
Speaker 1: the Steelers Browns game is forty three and a half
Speaker 1: toll on this Chargers Chiefs game is forty three parall.
Speaker 1: How do you stand in on this Winston over Herbert
Speaker 1: or vice versa.
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's hard to shoot. The Jamis horse has
Speaker 3: won the right won the race. Yeah that at last
Speaker 3: game in Atlanta one hundred and forty seven yards. It
Speaker 3: depends on what you think you need and if you've
Speaker 3: got any stacks and those kind of things. And that
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh defense is awful stout. I think it's not going
Speaker 3: to look like it did last time James was was
Speaker 3: was out that that's one of the tougher questions that
Speaker 3: we're going to have. If you feel that you have
Speaker 3: a if you feel you have explosive lineup at the
Speaker 3: other nine positions and really want to count on a
Speaker 3: twenty point game moving you up in your in your
Speaker 3: playoff in your league, I'm going to go Herbert. If
Speaker 3: you have issues with so many players that are on by,
Speaker 3: if you if if you don't have Henry, and if
Speaker 3: you if you don't have you know, Permar. Seems like
Speaker 3: as Indianapolis Colts, they've probably got a guy from there.
Speaker 1: Whoever, you don't have Permar.
Speaker 3: If you're liked in need big numbers, go ahead with James.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it'd be more fun to start Winston.
Speaker 1: I think if I was playing in the Kentucky Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football State Championship and I was chasing needing to move
Speaker 1: up the leader board, I'd be more inclined to play
Speaker 1: Winston because I do think his ceilings a little bit higher.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I go ahead. I thought
Speaker 1: last week that Winston was going to have big problems
Speaker 1: moving the ball against that Broncos defense. He did it
Speaker 1: four ninety seven yards. I didn't think there is going
Speaker 1: to be any issue with Justin Herbert having a good
Speaker 1: game against the Falcons. Only one hundred and forty seven yards,
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, no picks, one rushing yard. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's it's not great.
Speaker 3: How many big game is a Denver? How many picks
Speaker 3: do you he had three? How many picks Herbert had
Speaker 3: all year one?
Speaker 1: You know that's true. And by the way, and his
Speaker 1: one pick, think about the great teams that that the
Speaker 1: Chargers have played this year, the Steelers, the Chiefs, the
Speaker 1: Broncos defense, the Ravens. That one pick came in against
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Of course, because of course, I guess
Speaker 1: I would lean towards Herbert here, but I would also
Speaker 1: say if if if you have a haunch, trust your
Speaker 1: gut and go with Winston, I wouldn't have a problem
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 3: Last night we saw golf throw three touchdowns, two of
Speaker 3: them on ford down. Maybe Herbert hasn't thrown more than
Speaker 3: two in one game. Winston could throw two in one quarter.
Speaker 3: It's fascinating. Permar has stumped us, Bunky stumped us. Question
Speaker 3: the way where pick up O'Connell? Yeah, you get it.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's see I want to I'm just catching up here.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I did not miss anything.
Speaker 1: I don't think I did. But if you had a
Speaker 1: question in there and I am moving forward, my apologies,
Speaker 1: just post it again. We'll get to it. Still, let's
Speaker 1: stick with this Chargers conversation. Lad McConkie is dealing with
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury and a knee. In my shoulder and
Speaker 1: my knee, he is questionable against the Chiefs for Week fourteen,
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen yards. Last week before he could
Speaker 1: not go any longer with that knee injury. Harvad didn't
Speaker 1: really say a whole lot about his availability, but he
Speaker 1: did get in three limited practices this week, which is good.
Speaker 1: I would think he's going to play Farrell. However, the
Speaker 1: problem with this it's a Sunday night game. Obviously, it
Speaker 1: depends pab what your other options are, and if you
Speaker 1: can pivot in that Sunday night game, maybe you pick up,
Speaker 1: you know, guy like Josh Palmer off the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: Quintin Johnson's probably not available. You could go with a
Speaker 1: Jermaine Burton or a andre Yoshibas On Monday Night, Brandon Cooks,
Speaker 1: Jalen Tolbert just in case mconkie can't go. I think
Speaker 1: if you play it correctly, McConkie is worth waiting around for.
Speaker 1: And I do believe he is playing, but I want
Speaker 1: to leave myself and out just in case. Again FFPC
Speaker 1: League Championship weekend. Can't screw this up, not at all. Wow, McConkie.
Speaker 3: Has been such a target magnet for this team and
Speaker 3: he is such a key to make them go. The
Speaker 3: Chargers don't look anything like what I thought they would
Speaker 3: when the season started. Uh, And it's been a good
Speaker 3: combination of Russian pass and it's uh. We all thought
Speaker 3: it was going to be run heavy and it has
Speaker 3: been run centered. But still we're looking at a quarterback
Speaker 3: that's you know, thrown for about twenty five hundred yards here.
Speaker 3: So in five or six games, five games to go.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Bulky. I hate waiting to hear what
Speaker 3: mconkye is is going to do, you know, and these
Speaker 3: these we think he's going to play, he's going to play. Oh,
Speaker 3: he doesn't play. But he's proven that he's been effective
Speaker 3: when he has been on the field. So once again,
Speaker 3: we could look at the training staff of the Chargers
Speaker 3: and say, hey, they must know how to get guys
Speaker 3: ready to get on the field. So let's let's just
Speaker 3: you know, this is one that you need to overthink.
Speaker 3: But again, if you're hurt with your roster with X
Speaker 3: amount of players on by, I guess you just take
Speaker 3: a snap at McConkey. I like what you came in
Speaker 3: with Cooks there, though the Cooks has had a late
Speaker 3: season resurgon.
Speaker 1: His Yeah, and I don't know how much he factors
Speaker 1: into their plans in twenty twenty five. I think he's
Speaker 1: a free agent so and he obviously wants to keep
Speaker 1: his career going, so he's going to ball out as
Speaker 1: much as he can. Cooper Rush has shown that he's
Speaker 1: been capable at least of throwing the football downfield and
Speaker 1: getting some yardage. And Cooks could be a guy that
Speaker 1: that again like it might it might be an interesting
Speaker 1: pivot if you have to move off mconukey if he's
Speaker 1: inactive on Sunday night. Speaking of Cooks, his real life
Speaker 1: teammate Jake Ferguson is back. He practiced in full on Friday.
Speaker 1: According to Ralph Alquano, Jake Ferguson is going to be playing.
Speaker 1: We think, we trust, we don't see any reason why
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be playing for the Cowboys on Monday Night
Speaker 1: Football against Cincinnati Farrell. Given the changes that have happened
Speaker 1: at quarterback, given the changes that at you know, ceedee,
Speaker 1: Lamb's dealing with something right now, the offense is a
Speaker 1: little bit different. It looks a little bit different. Is
Speaker 1: Ferguson a guy that in a tight end premium league
Speaker 1: like the FFPC, you're just automatically starting him? Or should
Speaker 1: we have a little bit of trepidation of just like whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: Let's just think about this and make sure Ferguson is
Speaker 1: the right play here this week again coming off the
Speaker 1: two games that he missed with a concussion. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's just an auto start.
Speaker 3: Oh it is. Any any thinking is overthinking in the
Speaker 3: case of this player. The natural tendency of this Dallas
Speaker 3: team to lean on that tight end back. I Ferguson
Speaker 3: one of my favorite players in the league. Interestingly enough,
Speaker 3: his backup Luke, which we may see a little bit
Speaker 3: of both of them.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: I really think that, I really think both these tight
Speaker 3: ends will get uh get points. My biggest concern about
Speaker 3: Ferguson is that there won't uh that he won't have
Speaker 3: a big enough percentage of the snaps. I don't know
Speaker 3: if this offense is going to have both tight ends
Speaker 3: on the field very often. But all in all, I
Speaker 3: like both these tight ends, and I like Ferguson best.
Speaker 3: And if you drafted Ferguson, especially in our ff PC, uh,
Speaker 3: you don't really have anybody that can touch him to
Speaker 3: play in front of him because they're hey Walkey, has
Speaker 3: there been a late round breakthrough at tight end this year?
Speaker 3: I can't think of who it. I can't think of
Speaker 3: who it was. You know, when we had the tight
Speaker 3: end whisper back in the Prosburg shows. Uh he he
Speaker 3: brought on Hunter Henry as a player and I tiped
Speaker 3: the cap to him. Hunter Henry's put together some nice
Speaker 3: games as of late. You've got to hear the whispers
Speaker 3: to know when to play Hunter Henry. But nevertheless, but
Speaker 3: I can't think of is.
Speaker 1: There anyone I got four? I got four of them?
Speaker 1: Is dis Lee.
Speaker 3: You're gonna say one of them? Well, okay, fair enough,
Speaker 3: you're gonna say John news Smith And we knew that.
Speaker 1: We didn't know that though, because he wasn't being drafted
Speaker 1: that high.
Speaker 3: Well, true, true. We knew if John who was given
Speaker 3: the job, he could deliver.
Speaker 1: And he's delivering. You're not gonna say no, not k
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say, Tucker Craft right right in
Speaker 1: Green Bay? No, Tucker Craft wasn't. Oh you would be
Speaker 1: surprised for I'm gonna look it up right now. Please
Speaker 1: please bear in mind that the packers had a guy
Speaker 1: and they still have a guy, but he's been on
Speaker 1: ir named Look Musgrave who a lot of people were
Speaker 1: drafting here, and I know there was plenty of people
Speaker 1: that uh looked at Tucker Craft as the better guy
Speaker 1: anyway when they were drafted, Like now, you were one
Speaker 1: of them. No, I wasn't. I was.
Speaker 3: I'm a big Muskrave fan. I was.
Speaker 1: I was a big Musgrave guy, Tucker Craft. Again, this
Speaker 1: is I'm looking at the ADP from Fantasy Mojo Fantasy
Speaker 1: Mojo dot com, Darren Rmani at Fantasy Mojo, Tucker Craft
Speaker 1: went off the board is tight end thirty one at
Speaker 1: the seventeen to ten No at PC. Yes, that's where
Speaker 1: that's where he's being drafted.
Speaker 3: Actually a time machine.
Speaker 1: But after Mike Kasicki, actually Kasicki was tight and thirty
Speaker 1: Craft was tightened thirty one now and then well so
Speaker 1: those were those were three of the four Disley, Tucker Craft,
Speaker 1: John Smith and then the fourth Kal I'll give you now,
Speaker 1: he's falling off a little bit since Mike Evans came back.
Speaker 1: But Kado is a guy that was right up there,
Speaker 1: and he was a guy that was an afterthought and
Speaker 1: drafts too. He was drafted as well. I take that back,
Speaker 1: tight end twenty one at the fourteen Oh eaight, so
Speaker 1: late fourteen round pick we're getting we're picking it and
Speaker 1: it's a little bit here. But he wasn't as big
Speaker 1: of a get as as Tucker Craft was.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, you know this one back when all the
Speaker 3: boys were in the pros Versus shows, were referred to
Speaker 3: him as Caid Rotten. Yeah, they're they're not doing that now.
Speaker 1: Are they aid Rotten? I forgot about that guy?
Speaker 3: Is talking about Caid Rotten makes you makes you want
Speaker 3: to adjust your strategy next year and take strictly tight ends.
Speaker 3: When I was thirteen through seventeen.
Speaker 1: Uh, let's I often don't do emails this early in
Speaker 1: the show. I'm going to do an email from Gary
Speaker 1: and Maple Shade, New Jersey because It's the exact same
Speaker 1: question that Tom Smith has just asked us in the
Speaker 1: chat room right now. Caleb Williams possibly without DeAndre Swift
Speaker 1: and DJ Moore or Rock Purty who obviously is going
Speaker 1: to be going without Brandon Ayuka Christian McCaffrey. They are
Speaker 1: playing against each other, Farrell, who would you rather play
Speaker 1: this week between those two?
Speaker 2: Mm?
Speaker 3: Let's go play some Kayleb Williams Caleb Willis, Let's go ahead.
Speaker 1: I I do like him, and and I want to
Speaker 1: get your opinion sort of on on Thomas Brown, who
Speaker 1: when he took over for Shane Waldron Williams numbers and
Speaker 1: and his efficiency have both gone up. Now Brown is
Speaker 1: the head guy in charge of the Bears. What do
Speaker 1: you make of that coaching change for the Bears? They
Speaker 1: I think this is an improvement for not only Caleb Williams,
Speaker 1: but the rest of the team as well.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's a shakeup mid seas a sha gets
Speaker 3: everyone's attention, you know, even a player like Williams, the rookie,
Speaker 3: you know, with the red carpet rolled out for him.
Speaker 3: It gets everyone's attention as a reset, and it can
Speaker 3: be good for the team. It's it's equivalent to the
Speaker 3: dead cat bounce. But I think I think party things
Speaker 3: are are not going well for the Niners. You know,
Speaker 3: they got to have this game. I think I think
Speaker 3: they've got a running back to handle it. I love
Speaker 3: what they have at the receivers. I like the Niners
Speaker 3: for the game, so I believe it's going to be
Speaker 3: a little chaser position for the Bears. It's a toss up,
Speaker 3: but I could see Williams with five more points Fantasy points.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna rolling with Williams, even though normally in
Speaker 1: this situation I take the home quarterback. But I think
Speaker 1: there is a little bit more upside for Williams than
Speaker 1: Purty this week, and I'm gonna go with that. If
Speaker 1: I was to look at the total and spread on
Speaker 1: this game, I've seen the Niners as a three and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite with a total of forty four
Speaker 1: in that game. Permar has another question here. I think
Speaker 1: this is interesting, and this one I'm more sure about
Speaker 1: how I feel. He wants to know, with George Pickens's
Speaker 1: new hamstring injury, would you drop Devon Vley for Calvin Austin.
Speaker 1: And for me, the answer is yes, I would because
Speaker 1: I do see potential for wide receiver one numbers, fantasy
Speaker 1: wide receiver number one, but where the Steelers might feature
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin a little bit more, who's been making plays
Speaker 1: when he's been the number two, whereas Veley significantly behind
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton still making plays. I just think there's more
Speaker 1: upside with Calvin Austin. I want to get me the
Speaker 1: guy with the ceilings.
Speaker 3: So yeahoo, they look like they want to get the
Speaker 3: ball to Austin and Vyley has been a favorite of
Speaker 3: Permar Get yourself out to Planet Hollywood twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: and let's go ahead and draft Veyley there unless playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Bill Hollywood also saying Austin has more upside,
Speaker 1: So that's what we're.
Speaker 3: Bill Hollywood knows. Bill Hollywood knows a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: Bill Hollywood better get himself together and become register for
Speaker 3: Super Sunday Weekend.
Speaker 1: That's right. Absolutely, we were just talking about tight ends
Speaker 1: with Jake Ferguson. Let's stay in that same division and
Speaker 1: talk about the Eagles. Dallas Goddard has been ruled out
Speaker 1: with a knee injury in Panthers game. Yes, he is
Speaker 1: out again. And by the way, this could be a
Speaker 1: multi week injury, uh for for Goddard here Adam Schefter
Speaker 1: reporting this. And if that is the case, what do
Speaker 1: you make of Grant cal Kata as as a player
Speaker 1: that you'd want a roster maybe, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you want to roster him if you didn't have Goddard,
Speaker 1: but as a as a player again, when you're trying
Speaker 1: to find these players that are not locked because they've
Speaker 1: they've already been dropped, Calcata might be out there, Pharrell.
Speaker 1: Is he a wise use of one of your roster
Speaker 1: spots in the FFPC going forward here for the remainder
Speaker 1: of the season.
Speaker 3: Probably. So. He's an active, move tidy end and he's look,
Speaker 3: he's got a little fight in him. He'll throw a
Speaker 3: block and chip, he'll go over the middle. I watched
Speaker 3: him catch a ball, hold onto the ball with a
Speaker 3: tough hit from the safety and get up and as
Speaker 3: you know, signal for the first down, run back to
Speaker 3: the run, back to the huddle. He's he's a perfect
Speaker 3: player for Philadelphia Eagles, young player playing with a lot
Speaker 3: of Grant. Why not.
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, the third is questionable for the game against
Speaker 1: the Cardinals this week, which is really frustrating. Bob Candatta
Speaker 1: has this report limited in Wednesday's practice, and then he
Speaker 1: gets downgraded to d NP on both Thursday and today's practice.
Speaker 1: This is a four to zero five start Seattle and
Speaker 1: Arizona this week. This is really confusing Pharaoh because the
Speaker 1: result of whether Walker is active or inactive is not
Speaker 1: only going to change how you handle him on your team,
Speaker 1: but think about the Sharbona owners. How do they treat this?
Speaker 1: Where you know, charbon A, could it be a really
Speaker 1: good start this week or he might just be a
Speaker 1: total whiff if you had either one of these players
Speaker 1: on your roster, if you had a Walker team, if
Speaker 1: you had a sharbon A team, how are you handling this?
Speaker 1: Are you treating it as if Walker is going to
Speaker 1: be out or that he's going to be in?
Speaker 3: Well, did not practice today is pretty much evident of
Speaker 3: what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: So so you're treating Walker? Okay?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: How hot? I mean? Is he a top twenty guy
Speaker 1: this week? Scharbon Aye? Is he hired that he's your
Speaker 1: top fifteen guys? He?
Speaker 3: Well, he's done it before and that's what you have
Speaker 3: to like about him. You know, I'm a I see
Speaker 3: a big disconnect between the talent and the two players.
Speaker 3: Both fantasy players don't. That's why I've grown so much,
Speaker 3: because Walker is a player that I want to see healthy. Well.
Speaker 3: I've always thought Walker, with the season that he deserves,
Speaker 3: could be, you know, be a second round running back
Speaker 3: in the FFPC. I think a lot of the player
Speaker 3: has a lot of appeal to be. Maybe he stays
Speaker 3: under the radar with this injury, and we get to
Speaker 3: Las Vegas next year and we pick up Walker at
Speaker 3: a deflated value price. Maybe he's the twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs. But remember why if he doesn't play now,
Speaker 3: and if he's hampered for the rest of the way,
Speaker 3: you know, our drafters will need to remember why he
Speaker 3: was he didn't finish the season. Well, but yeah, Charbonnet,
Speaker 3: good play.
Speaker 1: It is the portion of the program right now where
Speaker 1: we get to bring in this lovely piece of this
Speaker 1: lovely choch key here. Oh that's on the Raiders chain.
Speaker 1: John Terry John Terry courtesy of John Terry, our mutual friend.
Speaker 1: He was on the show on Tuesday, the road of
Speaker 1: his high stakes load on. He got his first look
Speaker 1: at this on the show, and he said he thought
Speaker 1: it was awesome. So we're gonna get into the Raiders
Speaker 1: portion here, Bharah. We touched on this a little bit earlier.
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison is questionable for Week fourteen against Zamir White.
Speaker 1: Did not practice today. I think we can just kind
Speaker 1: of rule him out completely. It was yeah, and then
Speaker 1: Madison practiced all three days this week. So what are
Speaker 1: we doing with is Sincere McCormick still a play or
Speaker 1: do we start untruthful Madison, don't don't forget about uh
Speaker 1: falsitude Doulah, who has also a rader. I don't know
Speaker 1: what we do when I have this many questions about
Speaker 1: a backfield Farrell. Maybe it's just best to kind of
Speaker 1: leave it alone for Week fourteen because I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do here.
Speaker 3: Oh you probably can't. That's that's your problem. You probably can't.
Speaker 3: We got to give the listeners a player to play.
Speaker 3: Let's play Madison Madison's practice, let's play it. If Madison
Speaker 3: hasn't practiced, let's play McCormick. I love McCormick, but he's
Speaker 3: got to be able to feel to get the snaps.
Speaker 3: Chances are, if the team is successful, the Raiders are
Speaker 3: going to be successful this weekend. They're gonna go with
Speaker 3: the mixed bag of all these players, and you don't
Speaker 3: have a high ceiling with any of them. But you know,
Speaker 3: there's some teams that don't have enough running backs to
Speaker 3: fill up spots. And you know, so you can guarantee
Speaker 3: one thing that you're Madison and your McCormick. Nowither of
Speaker 3: them we're going to get a zero.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. And I think Abdullah is probably in
Speaker 1: that neighborhood too, where I don't think he gets a zero.
Speaker 1: But I don't think he gets either.
Speaker 3: You know, I haven't really seen anyone start a duel,
Speaker 3: have you.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: Now you're not listen. You're gonna say, well, Bulky, the
Speaker 1: scott Fish Bowl doesn't count. But I did see exactly.
Speaker 1: It's the only league I started. But yeah, I've seen
Speaker 1: people roster him, but not I haven't gone against him
Speaker 1: or seen him in any buddy's lineups. That is the Raiders.
Speaker 1: A more compelling running back situation is developing in Tampa.
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving, with a hip injury and a back injury,
Speaker 1: officially questionable to play against those Las Vegas Raiders. Greg
Speaker 1: Alman with the report here limited practice for Irving today.
Speaker 1: He did not practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday.
Speaker 1: I am not sure what to do here. And if
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving is active, I think you have to play
Speaker 1: him Pharaoh. But I also will allow for the possibility
Speaker 1: that it might be a reduced workload, and maybe we
Speaker 1: see more Sean Tucker this week, maybe we see more
Speaker 1: Rashad White, or as Dan Williamson referred to these running
Speaker 1: backs Bucky, Tucky and Sucky for Rashad White, and I
Speaker 1: think that all three of these guys could could give
Speaker 1: you fits if you start any of them, but against
Speaker 1: the Raiders, one of them could come through for you
Speaker 1: big time. I still am a White fan.
Speaker 3: I really like Rashaan White, but it's Bucky. Ervan is
Speaker 3: a fantastic running back to watch. It's only going to
Speaker 3: get better. He's very explosive, he can do. He's learning
Speaker 3: things about how to play the NFL game week to week.
Speaker 3: He's progressively better, which is what, you know, what you
Speaker 3: want to look at on a film. He really sticks out.
Speaker 3: You're exactly right, that's the player that you want to
Speaker 3: go with. It's a player you want to go with
Speaker 3: if he's healthy. And then once again we could be
Speaker 3: lied to again, but you know, we could have been.
Speaker 3: The Tampa training room is the biggest trainers busy as
Speaker 3: trainers in football are in Tampa.
Speaker 1: So so it is. It's it's Irving. Obviously, you and
Speaker 1: I are an agreement. If Irving misses this game, would
Speaker 1: you feel okay? Starting with Shad White?
Speaker 3: Knowing that that's why my lad was saying, I really like.
Speaker 1: What Yeah, okay, all right, so you're still and game
Speaker 1: and and Tucker's out of the equation for starting in
Speaker 1: week fourteen. Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 3: I think so. Tucker to me is the gain well
Speaker 3: of the Tampa Bay Books. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can see that. It's almost as if Permar has
Speaker 1: our show sheet in front of him tonight, because he
Speaker 1: leads in with we do I sent it over?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I didn't. I didn't my contract.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it because I threw a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff on there and we're gonna we're not evenna be
Speaker 1: able to cover all of it. It doesn't make a difference.
Speaker 1: Kendra Miller is questionable for Week fourteen against the Giants.
Speaker 1: Has not been removed off of injured reserve, but he
Speaker 1: did get in three full practices this week. Pharaoh I
Speaker 1: don't know if you have any inside baseball information of
Speaker 1: what happened between him and Dennis Allen in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: But Darren Rizzy says that he doesn't have a doghouse.
Speaker 1: Thus Kendra Miller can't be in the doghouse. Nah, So
Speaker 1: it could be Kendra Miller time not starting. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: it's Kamara. But you want to have this guy in
Speaker 1: your roster, kind of interested to see what he does
Speaker 1: the rest of the season, and knowing that running back
Speaker 1: has a one injury rate, at some point he might
Speaker 1: get a couple of starts here. Maybe one of those
Speaker 1: starts popped, happens in week seventeen. I think you got
Speaker 1: to keep this guy around.
Speaker 3: We have talked more about I don't think we've ever
Speaker 3: talked more about a player who's done less and did
Speaker 3: I wondered all year while we were talking about it,
Speaker 3: and I still wonder, And if he has value at
Speaker 3: the end of the season, so be it. I think
Speaker 3: if we we're over dreaming on hopium, we're not even
Speaker 3: we're beyond overthinking with Kendrick Miller.
Speaker 1: And at that point, I mean, like, let's listen, it's
Speaker 1: a long shot, right for him to pay off in
Speaker 1: REA draft leagues this year probably won't happen, and if
Speaker 1: it does happen, it might only be for one week.
Speaker 3: It's impossible to wonder the odds that I'm putting on this.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid one of the leftdown tight ends of the year.
Speaker 1: A lot of leftdown tight ends this year. Dalton Kinkaid
Speaker 1: is questionable this week against the Rams. Catherine Fitzgerald reported
Speaker 1: that Kincaid is a player that and there are reports
Speaker 1: going around that if he is active, you may not
Speaker 1: see a full compliment of snaps. You could see Dawson
Speaker 1: Knox out there more. What is interesting to me about
Speaker 1: this is I know how talented he is, I know
Speaker 1: how good the Bills offense is, and I know the
Speaker 1: total on this game is teetering right at fifty points.
Speaker 1: It's really really difficult for me, and I know Kinkaid's
Speaker 1: missed in time, really really difficult for me to sit
Speaker 1: him this week. I'm not thinking long about this. I'm
Speaker 1: putting him in my lineup. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 3: What has happened to this player? Thought there was just
Speaker 3: so much promise for what he was going to be offensively?
Speaker 3: Why is why is he having the kind of years.
Speaker 1: You know what's frustrating too, and and you bring that up.
Speaker 1: They did not have Stefan Diggs this year at all.
Speaker 1: They've only had Amari Cooper for a handful of weeks.
Speaker 1: Kean Coleman never really took off, and there's still time whatever.
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel has not done anything. Khalil Shakir has been okay.
Speaker 1: This Bill's team is really really good and they don't
Speaker 1: have that that that alpha number one receiver. We saw
Speaker 1: what Kinkaid did down the stretch. It's just natural to
Speaker 1: think if you look at the Bills record and you
Speaker 1: don't look at who's catching passes, you would have just
Speaker 1: assumed that Kinkaid is like a top three time this year.
Speaker 1: He's not close to top three. He's he's been bad
Speaker 1: this year. Pharaoh. He's had one game of six or
Speaker 1: more catches. He has had one game of five catches,
Speaker 1: a handful of four, but a lot of threes, a
Speaker 1: lot of twos. He has had a one catch game
Speaker 1: against Arizona that really set the tone in Week one
Speaker 1: for him. He's coming off a two for twenty four
Speaker 1: performance in Week ten. He has not played since then
Speaker 1: he is coming back Week fourteen against the Rams. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm utilizing. I'm huffing on hopium here for for Dalton Kaid.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just I can't make I
Speaker 1: can't come up with a good case of why this
Speaker 1: guy isn't more productive.
Speaker 3: If he's recovered from injury, if the offensive coordinators are
Speaker 3: gonna work with him, if he in the quarterback have chemistry,
Speaker 3: there's no reason you shouldn't be starting him. My goodness,
Speaker 3: that's a that's a hell of a confusing seasonal resume
Speaker 3: for him, isn't it.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is.
Speaker 3: You should should have got zach Ertz. Buddy, you have
Speaker 3: zach Ertz. Everything's all right.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is is think about the teams
Speaker 1: that drafted Kincaid and then just drafted one of these
Speaker 1: guys as just a backup for you know, Tucker Craft
Speaker 1: or John who Smith and all these guys are playing
Speaker 1: ahead of him right now. It's it's funny how how
Speaker 1: that works. Tom Smith pointing out there's gonna be a
Speaker 1: big change with tight ends in the first few rounds
Speaker 1: next year, and I'm with you, uh there, there definitely
Speaker 1: is that there will not be Uh, this impetus to
Speaker 1: try to get at least I'm not in KF F
Speaker 1: s C. I'm not going to be, you know, bending
Speaker 1: over backwards to try to get one of these elite
Speaker 1: tight ends early when I see what has happened with
Speaker 1: several tight ends this year. Drafted much later, Bill Hollywood,
Speaker 1: just out of nowhere is Kareem Hunt finished? Kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: catching astray here. He's not finished, but I would not
Speaker 1: have the expectations I had for him when Pacheco was out.
Speaker 1: Pachecko's back and it's it's not like Hunt was crushing
Speaker 1: it when when he had the lion's share of the
Speaker 1: touches there, So keep him around. This maybe his last
Speaker 1: year Fantasy relevant, but I still think there's something there.
Speaker 1: Anytime you're the backup behind is a Pacheco, you're probably
Speaker 1: gonna get some playing time. At some point, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna get some You're gonna get some playing time in
Speaker 3: this offense and perhaps what Hunt is done, but I'm not.
Speaker 1: Dropping That's what I'm trying to say. That makes sense.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like you know, I'm gonna say something,
Speaker 3: but maybe not mean. So you know, hermar gets a
Speaker 3: lot of those in there you know well, but I
Speaker 3: totally know what he means.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel like.
Speaker 3: I thought hunt was a wonderful addition to that team.
Speaker 3: I thought he played on an offense that needed him
Speaker 3: while while the Pachecko was down. I thought he played very,
Speaker 3: very well and started some fantasy games for me, which
Speaker 3: I was pleased to get the point. So, I'm I
Speaker 3: don't think he's done. I think he'll have a role
Speaker 3: of the rest of the way. He's not playable, but
Speaker 3: Checko will be. And yeah, that's it's about the story.
Speaker 1: Let's let's go to some emails here that came in
Speaker 1: a lot of starters sits for these I'm assuming FFPC
Speaker 1: players here, Julian and Santa Clara kicks it off. Darnell
Speaker 1: Mooney or Khalil Shakir. Those are his options that he
Speaker 1: can only play one of them. We talked about Shakiir
Speaker 1: a little bit when we've gotten the Kinkaid discussion. I
Speaker 1: do like him. I know it's on the road against
Speaker 1: the Rams, but he's kind of been their number one
Speaker 1: wide receiver for I don't is Cooper gonna play? I mean,
Speaker 1: I think so, but I trust Shakir more. It just
Speaker 1: seems like he's had the higher floor this year. And
Speaker 1: then Mooney another guy who's coming out of nowhere this
Speaker 1: season that has really really been good. However, his quarterback
Speaker 1: is coming off a four interception game, I want to say,
Speaker 1: and they just could not get anything going. It is
Speaker 1: a revenge game for Kirk Cousins as the Falcons go
Speaker 1: to Minnesota to take on Brian Flores's Defense's defense this week.
Speaker 1: So when it comes down to it, Mooney or Shakiir
Speaker 1: kind of depends on what you need. I think Mooney
Speaker 1: has the higher ceiling, but I think I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the floor guy here and go with Shakira.
Speaker 3: That's why you're great at this business, Baulkey, because you
Speaker 3: broke it down. And I think the only thing I
Speaker 3: would disagree about what you said is I think Shakira
Speaker 3: has the higher ceiling, you know, based on that, based
Speaker 3: on that group of things that you mentioned that were
Speaker 3: going wrong in Buffalo, and then you know, Cousins have
Speaker 3: four interceptions only because the Chargers last week couldn't even
Speaker 3: catch those balls. I mean, it was bad, it was
Speaker 3: it was just Yeah, I'm I'm saying this is the
Speaker 3: easiest one of the Night. Shakira is the guy. Mooney
Speaker 3: is talented, he gets open, gets separation, Cousins find him,
Speaker 3: but cousins looks out of sorts and mechanically insufficient to
Speaker 3: play NFL quarterback right now?
Speaker 1: Yes or no? Does Michael Pennox make any starts this
Speaker 1: year for the Falcons?
Speaker 3: Hard to believe he wouldn't, so he's yes.
Speaker 1: Okay. Interesting. Wes and Bainbridge, New York continues with another
Speaker 1: wide receiver question, Elijah Moore or Nick Westbrook Akine, I
Speaker 1: always what's the old Saturday Night Live thing when Darryl
Speaker 1: Hammond was doing Tim Russert for Meet the Press and
Speaker 1: he had Anna Gosteire playing Hillary Clinton and he would
Speaker 1: ask her a question and he'd always go Hillary Rodham
Speaker 1: Clinton and she said name like I was naughty at school.
Speaker 1: And that's about. That's how Westbrook aikini. This guy Parrell,
Speaker 1: I've reaped the benefits of him the last couple of
Speaker 1: weeks where I've started him in a couple of Kentucky
Speaker 1: leagues where he's scored and I know it's not sticky,
Speaker 1: and yet, with apologies to Chris Carter, all this guy
Speaker 1: does is catch touchdowns. That's all he does every single week.
Speaker 1: He's got nine of them on the season. Now Elijah
Speaker 1: Moore is the other one here at Pittsburgh. We kind
Speaker 1: of broke down what we think Jameis Winston is going
Speaker 1: to do against that Steelers offense. I think that the
Speaker 1: the the matchup would say that it's Westbrook akinniy is
Speaker 1: he gets the Jaguars at all. I'm playing him again.
Speaker 1: I'm riding this I'm riding this train until it stops. Now,
Speaker 1: it might crash, it might just fall off the train tracks,
Speaker 1: which I realized is a possibility here. But I'm going
Speaker 1: with NW. I here with with him over Elijah Ward.
Speaker 3: I'm one hundred percent with you, Bulky. And when you
Speaker 3: looked at Tennessee previously, even last year, you see this
Speaker 3: player and you say, man, that player is going to
Speaker 3: finally be given a chance. Well he is now. His
Speaker 3: perceptions are small, his touchdowns are long, but what's beginning
Speaker 3: to tick up is the number of targets. And eventually
Speaker 3: in this quarterback and he get on the same page.
Speaker 3: And when the quarterback finds himself before the season is over,
Speaker 3: Westbrook and Kenny could have some really interesting breakthrough games.
Speaker 3: So I think you're I think you're in the right
Speaker 3: place there, friend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's Westbrook a Kinney for sure. Will
Speaker 1: Disley or Juwan Johnson is the next one. That is
Speaker 1: Logan and Macon Georgia. He has to figure this out.
Speaker 1: Will Disley again Sunday Night football. No, it's not Sunday
Speaker 1: Night football. Excuse me, that's the Chiefs game. He is
Speaker 1: in Arrowhead this week. Juwan Johnson is going to be
Speaker 1: at New York this week at the Giants. And Juwan
Speaker 1: Johnson's missed some time. Yea, he came back last Oh no,
Speaker 1: he has not missed time. I take that back. He
Speaker 1: had his probably his best game of the season this
Speaker 1: past week against the Rams. Seven targets he catches five
Speaker 1: of them for thirty six yards. You like that in
Speaker 1: the FFPC And normally I'd say it's Disley, no question
Speaker 1: with with how he's been crushing it. But then for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, he puts up the bagel last week. So
Speaker 1: now it's Juwan Johnson. There is the conversation. I still
Speaker 1: think it's Disney, but and I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's no way to answer this this quest. I have
Speaker 3: a soft spot for Disley because in one of my teams.
Speaker 3: He was the first time I got a tight end
Speaker 3: touchdown this year.
Speaker 2: But you know, you.
Speaker 3: You you take away the the quarterback tight end, whatever
Speaker 3: he is, he'll out of the New Orleans offense, and
Speaker 3: you think, well, that's why Johnson gets targets and he
Speaker 3: has I like Johnson in the red zone as well.
Speaker 3: There's another tight end on the roster down there in
Speaker 3: New Orleans. It looks like he's getting some snaps. This
Speaker 3: is such a toss up, You've got to make the
Speaker 3: decision based on other reasons. Bulky, you do a good
Speaker 3: job giving us the totals in these games. What do
Speaker 3: you see the totals of these two.
Speaker 1: You're talking about Foster Moros the other tight end.
Speaker 3: No, I'm talking about Taysom Hill.
Speaker 1: Oh well, he's out for the year, though, is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 3: He's getting. And you know, I like Foster, but no,
Speaker 3: there seems to be another guy in the mix too.
Speaker 3: I mean, this team loves tight ends. But no, I'm
Speaker 3: saying that that's why we finally see Johnson getting seven
Speaker 3: targets and five catches.
Speaker 1: The to on that Saints game. Saints are five point favorites.
Speaker 1: It's a total of only forty one on that game,
Speaker 1: so that is a low total there the Chargers one.
Speaker 1: I think it was forty three. Did I say before? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Forty three. Chiefs are four point favorites in that game.
Speaker 1: So it's similar, very similar, very very similar. Let's go
Speaker 1: to who's up next here on the show Lance in
Speaker 1: Arlington Heights, Illinois. Hey guys, Mike Gasiki or chig a conkquo.
Speaker 1: Mikesiki this week is in Dallas on Monday Night football
Speaker 1: under the lights. There chick a coon Quo again, a
Speaker 1: really good matchup for him as the Titans host the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars this week. I do like the matchup here.
Speaker 1: I think everybody's healthy in Cincinnati with with Chase and
Speaker 1: Higgins and everything, So I'm gonna lean towards o'conquo here
Speaker 1: with a better matchup.
Speaker 3: A con quo has come to life recently, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go with Kasiki. I like the fact that those
Speaker 3: other targets back Dallas has a hard time covering some
Speaker 3: so they don't have a hard to They can't really
Speaker 3: account for Goseki. I think he and Burrow have a
Speaker 3: nice thing going.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: I think how many do we have any twenty point
Speaker 3: games for Gooseki this year, because I don't we sure
Speaker 3: don't have them for.
Speaker 1: A con Quo. Yeah, Gasiki had in this FFPC scoring obviously, right,
Speaker 1: so he so he had Week two seven catches for
Speaker 1: ninety one yards, Week eight seven for seventy three, Week
Speaker 1: nine five for one hundred and two touchdowns. Ironically, that
Speaker 1: was against the rate the Raiders is who it is
Speaker 1: best game against. That's his only game where he scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown this year. He's got no other touchdowns, but
Speaker 1: he got two against the Raiders in that game. He's
Speaker 1: coming off a five for fifty three games. All right,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe it is. Maybe it is Gasiki here
Speaker 1: over a Conquo. The thing is with a con Quo too, Farrell,
Speaker 1: he does not get the usage that Gasicki gets. His
Speaker 1: best game of the year came in Week twelve. He
Speaker 1: got one target that game. However, that target was a
Speaker 1: seventy yard touchdown catch.
Speaker 3: Not for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you're right, I think it is. I'm going
Speaker 1: to take it back. I think it is Gasicki over
Speaker 1: over Oconquo. Just I'm seeing more volume there. More volume
Speaker 1: means more upside usually, and in this case it does
Speaker 1: Gary in Maple Shade, New Jersey. What's up Fellas Brock? Oh,
Speaker 1: we already did Brock Perdy or Caleb Williams when Tom
Speaker 1: asked that before. So we'll move on to Jared and Caldwell, Idaho, Hey,
Speaker 1: hs f f Ower, Will Levis or Jameis Winston. This
Speaker 1: is a fun one. Obviously, six teams on By this week.
Speaker 1: You don't have Jadon Daniels, no Lamar Jackson, no Bo Nicks.
Speaker 1: He's on By as well. So if you have the opportunity,
Speaker 1: is Jameis Winston the start at Pittsburgh over one Will Levis?
Speaker 1: Who again has I think Josh Larki said this on
Speaker 1: the Dom podcast. I think that the Jaguars are the
Speaker 1: best matchup for quarterbacks this year. They're giving up the
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to quarterbacks. I see a similar upside
Speaker 1: with Levis as I do with Winston. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: play Levis.
Speaker 3: Wow Here, I'm tempted to play Winston because I think
Speaker 3: Winston has figured out who he is and what his
Speaker 3: role is with the team. I don't know if the
Speaker 3: Tennessee quarterback knows that. And yeah, I'm I'm thinking that.
Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna go with Winston.
Speaker 1: You're gonna go with Winston, Okay, all right, I respect it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's it's close for me. I'm
Speaker 1: I just you know, if you look at I don't
Speaker 1: want to bring it up right now, just so I'm
Speaker 1: not talking out of my rear end here. But Will
Speaker 1: levis recently good good. Yeah, I mean only two hundred
Speaker 1: and twelve yards this past week, but he did throw
Speaker 1: for two touchdowns. He had a two touchdown game the
Speaker 1: week before against Houston t ndred and seventy yards ninety
Speaker 1: five yards against the Vikings, And yeah, so I mean,
Speaker 1: I just Winston could obviously put up like a thirty
Speaker 1: this week and it wouldn't surprise me. But I do, like,
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit more sing Thirties are good,
Speaker 1: thirties are excellent. We'll take. But you know, we're in a.
Speaker 3: Head to head matchup here, so we don't know. We
Speaker 3: don't know if our friend from Idaho, we don't know
Speaker 3: what he's doing. If he's in the head to head
Speaker 3: matchup in the FFPC, he's playing for a payday, right,
Speaker 3: So you got to look at that roster if you
Speaker 3: if you need thirty in a quarterback, Go Winston. If
Speaker 3: you can win with twenty go lets.
Speaker 1: I that I agree with your assumption there on what
Speaker 1: this guy needs. So Jared, give us, give us some
Speaker 1: more feedback, give us some more info on that we
Speaker 1: can answer the question a little bit better. John and
Speaker 1: Grand Rapids Traves Etn or Isaiah Pacheco this week. So
Speaker 1: this is a guy that you know. I think when
Speaker 1: you draft these guys, you just assume you'd be starting
Speaker 1: both of them, and now that's not the case anymore.
Speaker 1: Pachecko obviously coming into a bit of a time share here.
Speaker 1: Travis Etn, it's been bad for him this year.
Speaker 3: He stayed in London, didn't he Travis.
Speaker 1: CTN never came back over there. They might have left
Speaker 1: him there, that's entirely possible. It seems like it has
Speaker 1: not topped. So he got hurt in that Bears game
Speaker 1: and then missed a couple of games since then. Twenty four,
Speaker 1: forty four, twenty seven and forty six yards rushing. He
Speaker 1: has not topped twelve yards receiving since Week five. So
Speaker 1: it's been bad with Etn. I think he's more of
Speaker 1: like Bob Harrison footballuys always says, you got to divorce
Speaker 1: the name from the numbers here and the numbers do
Speaker 1: not favor Travis etn I think I'm gonna go with Pacheco.
Speaker 3: How how many weeks has Pachecko been down until they
Speaker 3: played last week?
Speaker 1: Pachecko missed a total? Do you want me to count
Speaker 1: the bye week? It didn't matter, all right, we'll count it.
Speaker 1: Then he has missed ten weeks of football, ten weeks,
Speaker 1: played the first two weeks, and now came back in
Speaker 1: week thirteen. Ten weeks.
Speaker 3: You stared at Pachecko, you played with nineteen players, and
Speaker 3: you left him on an injured reserve on your roster,
Speaker 3: and you waited, and you waited, and here we are
Speaker 3: in week fourteen and you're considering starting someone besides start Prochecko.
Speaker 3: Quit over thinking start Pacheck.
Speaker 1: Pacheco last week two, in his return, gets seven carries
Speaker 1: for forty four yards. He also caught a pass for
Speaker 1: five yards. Again limited action against the Raiders, but hopefully
Speaker 1: his volume goes up a little bit more.
Speaker 3: If you looked at the way he ran, he ran
Speaker 3: with the authority, you need to go look at him
Speaker 3: run and then you're gonna say, oh, well, let's start
Speaker 3: to check.
Speaker 1: If there is one running back in the NFL that
Speaker 1: does not care about his body. It's Isaiah Pachecko, just
Speaker 1: with no regard for his own personal safety, which is
Speaker 1: good and bad that he runs that way. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's potential here.
Speaker 3: He's he is built to distribute pain wild movie. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he plays with the middle linebacker's mentality, like you want
Speaker 3: to tackle me, you know.
Speaker 1: Just run over final one we have here, Farrell. It
Speaker 1: is Alan Houston, Gus Edwards or Tai J. Spears. Gus
Speaker 1: Edwards probably gonna be the lead. Yeah, he is gonna
Speaker 1: be the lead running back because JK. Dobbins is on
Speaker 1: ir ty. J. Spears against the Jaguars, Edwards against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: What's your feelings here? Which which is the right guy
Speaker 1: to go with? Edwards? Edwards? Yeah? Edwards last week against
Speaker 1: the falcon six carries thirty two yards. He had one
Speaker 1: catch for one yard. Did not get it. No, he
Speaker 1: did not get into the end zone. Spears is coming
Speaker 1: off a game where yeah, god, I didn't realize he
Speaker 1: was hardly utilized at all. Did he get hurt against Washington?
Speaker 1: I don't think he did. I think it was just
Speaker 1: and that's what matters. One care for three yards.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's big writing at home about it, baby.
Speaker 1: You can't, I mean even in a good matchup.
Speaker 3: You know, Spears is running neck and neck with Kendrick
Speaker 3: Miller of things we shouldn't even talk about.
Speaker 1: All right. That and with that we will wrap up
Speaker 1: our conversation, not only Spears and Kendrick Miller, but the
Speaker 1: entire show. Tom Smith says, good show tonight, fellas you
Speaker 1: both again next uh next week, which, yeah, we're doing
