Speaker 1: Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got
trade proposals fly in my way. My first round pig
turned out to be a big flop. I don't know
which wide receiver I need to drive, Doctor roto give
me the news. I really don't know what I should do.
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad case
of fair deceived blues.
Speaker 2: When is the fastest thirty minutes in major market radio?
We say hello to the good doctor with this. You're
doctor Rode here on sports Talk said, and I brought
this up to you yesterday about Drake may Or, Kotta, Murray,
and Rhode. I was feeling great, especially after Murray throws
those two early intes. But fantasy football can be cruel.
I wake up this morning he has twenty one fantasy points.
So it just shows you real life football and fantasy
football are two different animals.
Speaker 3: It is. I mean, look, Maury was fine, wasn't great?
Trust me. At halftime you were probably like you said,
you were loving life because he could barely play the game.
And then the second half it picked up. Well. What
he finished with two hundred yards and two touchdowns, a
few yards rushing. I think Drake May is going to
be better than that. I mean, Carolina does not pressure
the quarterback, So look, I always want to find I
think Drake May is on the cusp of being really
good and so worth the risk.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go over a couple of things from
last week and moving forward. Cincinnati Minnesota game, My god,
the backup quarterbacks won didn't have to do much because
his defense kept scoring, and Cincinnati with Browning was a
cop mess. If I've got t Higgins, which I do have,
and I before you get Jamar Chase, are you if
you're a Bengals wide receiver fan, are you wigging out
right now?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, Look, Jake Browning is not terrible. There
are worse guys out there. You just played a really
hot defense last week. Minnesota is a good defense. Brian
flor is a great defensive coordinator. This week's a tough matchup,
but the Broncos run a lot of man coverage, which
is right up T Higgins's alli. You can never say
that you're not going to play Jamar Chase. So look,
Browning is better than a lot of backups in this league.
I picked him up in a couple of leagues. You
just got to be patient. Maybe after this week he's playable.
Speaker 2: All Right, We got brock Party back playing for San
Francisco this week. Does that change their fortunes much against
the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: I think they're going to beat the Jaguars regardless. That's
gonna be one of those mccaffers. You know, one hundred
and forty yards from scrimmage and two touchdown weeks. Ricky
Piersoll right now is not one hundred percent, So we've
got to keep our eyes on that. Juwan Jennings I
expect to be back. If he's there, you definitely want
to play him. Look the Jaguars, these are two teams
that play fast. These are two coaches that are innovative
play callers. You know. The big question here is without
Nick Bosa, how will the forty nine ers fare on defense?
That's what I'm concerned to see.
Speaker 2: Atlanta got shell shocked by Carolina last week. If I've
got Penis in company there, well, how am I going
to do against Washington?
Speaker 3: You're going to do really well because here's something that works.
Nobody on planet Earth wants to play Michael Pennock Junior
this weekend. That's why he's going to have a good week, right,
It's just how the NFL works MT It's just one
of those funny things. So you're playing in DFS. I
like Michael Pennox this week. He's playing at home, He's
playing on that fast track. Washington's in big trouble this week.
There's no Jayden Daniels, there's no Terry McLaurin. The Atlanta
defense is better. I think Pennix has a much improved week.
I'm gonna put him down for two hundred and forty
yards and two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Doctor ROTI there are a lot of folks that picked
up Daniel Jones because of what the fast start for
the Colts. They're three and oh, but realistically they're probably
they could be just as easy one and two. We
saw what that Rams defense did against C. J. Stroud
in the opening week. Howill Jones and his skill position
players do against the Rams.
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be the most exciting
game of the weekend, truly. I think this game could
really blow up in terms of US scoring. So I
like Daniel Jones, I like Johnson Taylor. Take a look
at Josh Downs. He doesn't play a lot when the
Colts are winning, but I think they're going to be losing,
so he'll be out there. It might be interesting fantasy wise,
love Pukaakua, Love, Matthew Stafford. Devonte Adams is still very
very He's been out with a hamstring during practice this week.
If he's not there, Tyron Williams is also firmly in play.
Really like this game, all.
Speaker 2: Right, Dell Ross and I have been kind of joshing
about Aston genty only one and what one hundred and
fifteen yards in three games. That's a case of a
porous offensive line. Chicago showed a pretty good defense against
the Bears against the Cowboys last week. How do you
see Chicago and the Raiders?
Speaker 3: I mean, the Cowboys were a mess the second CD
Lamb got injured. Right at that point. It wasn't like
the Bears were great and the Cowboys defense is awful.
I really like Ashton Genty this week. I think that
should be another exciting game. I think the four o'clock
games are way better than the early slate games. So look,
I think that Gino Smith in play, Genty in play,
Jacoby Myers definitely in play. Brock Bauers also on the
other side, I think you can play Caleb Williams. I
think you could always play Rome with Doonza. That's like,
don't even ask that question anymore. Just play Roman Donze
And those were all the guys i'd started that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hey, I love that he Detroit Baltimore game because
I had loaded fantasy players on both sides. Although Flowers
was kind of quiet for the Ravens. Can he pipe
up this week in Kansas City?
Speaker 3: Not sure this is a great spot for them because
the defensive coverage day rollout doesn't really favor him. I
think it favors more Rashad Bateman. I think Derreck Henry
is going to have a good game. On the other side.
If there was ever a week to Travis Kelcey, this
is the week. Baltimore is awful against tight ends. Second
most receiving yards, second most receptions. It's been a nightmare.
Both these teams need this game desperately. The only way
the Chiefs do it if Kelsey plays well.
Speaker 2: Late game comebacks were both Philadelphia and Tampa Bay low
scoring and high scoring this week down in East Florida,
West Florida.
Speaker 3: West Florida. Y. Yeah, yeah, I you know it's funny
because you can't run on the Bucks, but you can
throw on the Bucks. So I think this is one
of those games. And the Bucks have led up the
most receptions to opposing running backs, so a lot of
people won't want to love Barkley this week. I have
no problem with Barkley this week. I have five or
six receptions, like Jalen Hurts this week, like Tavonta Smith
this week, like AJ Brown this week. On the other side,
Mike Evans, as we know, is out, Chris Godwin is
expected back at BUKA has been fantastic. I think this
is going to be a lower scoring game, but you
could still see fantasy yardage, just not a lot of all.
Speaker 2: Right, Jackson Dart with the Giants there own three. Nobody's
surprised they made the move. Probably this soon is a
little bit of a surprise. How do you see the
chargers of the Giants.
Speaker 3: No, No, Brian Dabele was going to get fired. So
the only way that this guy doesn't get fired is, hey,
I've got a new quarterback that I have to mentor Okay,
Brian will give you a few weeks. That's it. Otherwise
I mean to leave Russell Wilson in. There was over.
But Jackson Dart if he ever watched him an ill miss.
Dude can throw, dude can run. Okay, he's mobile, he's interesting.
He's a good quarterback right now. Good in college doesn't
necessarily mean good in your first pro game against the
Chargers defense. In Jim Harbaugh, that's a lot to ask for. However,
Malik Neighbors two out of the three games he didn't
see the football. He will see the football this week.
And I love Cam Scattapoo. This dude is very underrated.
Look at his numbers last week. MT. With those numbers,
he'd be like a third round pick if he did
that every week. On the other side, I love Herbert,
I love Lad mccaukeey and o'marian Hampton. Very sad what
happened to Najee Harris. But O'marion Hampton becomes a beast
right now? All right?
Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb Melliss. Dallas Cowboys green Bay really impressive so far.
They've got to be smart with their loss at Cleveland
last week. Will they try to take it out on
the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Hide the West and children MT. This is all doing.
It's really going to be bad. I mean, you have no, Lamb.
Maybe Ferguson has a good game. George Pickens, I don't
really like I don't love Javonte Williams. I don't like
Dak Prescott. Stay away. On the other side, here's a
name that you haven't heard, but I think you will.
Matthew Golden from University of Texas. Took the guy Dallas
has led up the most yards per target in the league.
They let up a ton of big plays. Golden is
their big play receiver. That's going to be the guy
who scores this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matthew Golden was a Houston Cougar until he decided
that it was University Houston was too difficult for him.
That's how he made a change to the University of Tech.
You upgraded in prestige and academias.
Speaker 3: What are you talking about.
Speaker 2: Here's a there's obligatory ross question of the week.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, matt let's be realistic.
Speaker 2: H Yeah, you mentioned a little bit of an Ashton gent.
I'm just curious that some of the running backs who
are sputtering, how much longer do you expect it to
to last, especially in the case of Gent Chase Brown
and maybe to a lesser extent Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know Kamara is not bad, right because they
don't really use a lot of guys that the use
Juwan Johnson to use a lave. They use Rashid Shaheed
and Kamara, so he's different. Chase Brown's been a nightmare
really and now gets to play Denver this week. That's
not good either, So you can have another bad week
of Chase Brown before it gets better. Genty should get
better this week. Problem is, you drafted these guys in
like round two, So what are you gonna do? Cut them? No?
What are you going to do? Benjam until they get better? Maybe,
but you have a better guy on your roster. Probably
not so sad you're kind of stuck with them at
this point.
Speaker 2: All right, lasting and forego the phones Tennessee Houston. Now
Nico got pass, the defenders slipped, scored a deep touchdown.
The numbers have not been great for him. There's non
existent offense in terms of running game. CJ has faced
a lot of pressure. Are we getting nervous about our
skill position players for the Texans even though they are
playing oh and three Tennessee?
Speaker 3: Well, look this should be the game they win, right,
We feel good about that Stroud should have a better day.
Jeffrey Simmons, though, is a beast. You got to watch
for that guy. I mean this, the Texans offensive line
is not paying attention. Simmons going to sack Stroud four
or five times. I think the real key to the Texans.
I think there's three guys one Woody Marks. Let's get
him out there. Don't we look faster than Chubbs to
the naked eye.
Speaker 2: Oh my naked eye. To the to the blind eye,
he looks faster.
Speaker 3: He does. So you're like, why are they not getting
this guy out there more? He was one of the
best receiving running backs in college football the last three
years running. So this is not a This is not
a fluke. This guy's legit. Two, Christian Kirk, you've got
to have another receiver there to help Nicole Collins. And three,
you got to get the ball to Dalton Schultz, right,
So you've got to get these guys involved. It can't
just be the NCOs shoe, because if it is, then
you become a one note team and you're in trouble.
The good news is the Titans really stink. I don't
see a pathway for them to really improve, not certainly,
not this week. So this is the game the Texans
need to get the ball rolling
