00:00:21
Hey, shrewdness fans, welcome to another incredible, amazing,
00:00:27
astonishing episode of the Shrewdness.
00:00:30
Here we are after Week 5. We all still have our heads,
00:00:35
meaning Pruitt and I, and. I have a pumpkin outside that's
00:00:41
good enough. I have a fake head that has a
00:00:44
face on it. We are.
00:00:46
We're super excited though because we are into the thick of
00:00:49
guillotine season and we are heading into bye weeks.
00:00:53
We're also headed into major injury fest part of the season,
00:00:57
which is happening like crazy, right and left.
00:01:00
People are dropping. You got to know who you can add,
00:01:04
who you should be looking at. We're going to give you all that
00:01:06
info, but first we're going to talk a little about the week
00:01:08
that was. Dex, you want to give us some
00:01:11
background on what happened this week?
00:01:12
Yeah, so let's just kind of talk with the stuff that the fantasy
00:01:17
owners out there want to know the most.
00:01:18
So Guillotine, oh, Marian Hampton here running back that
00:01:22
had a clear leg now that Najee Harris was out for the year.
00:01:25
Well, he hurt his ankle. So he's on the IR.
00:01:28
So it was great. You're one game almost where you
00:01:32
got to have well, I guess it was second game.
00:01:35
He had a really good week last week.
00:01:36
So that one hurt. We had Brock Bowers, that one
00:01:39
hurt you. So if you were, if you didn't
00:01:42
have your late scratch tight end ready to go, because I know some
00:01:45
people in some leagues were scrambling.
00:01:48
And I know a lot of people have their late scratch tied in ready
00:01:51
to go every week, so I. Did so I had to I had one of
00:01:54
Chisholm's favorite guys that we pulled up out of the grave in
00:01:57
honor of Halloween. That's right, Waller, who's been
00:02:00
good two weeks in a row now. So Waller came through and was
00:02:03
my Bowers villain that was. A legit target these days.
00:02:07
It was and there's the worst case and that's the Britain
00:02:10
Strange. So Britain Strange had his one
00:02:13
catch on the first series of the game, I believe 20. 3 yard.
00:02:16
Grab and looking great and then like where did he go?
00:02:20
Cuz he was one of our prop bets for our Monday night game with
00:02:23
the Chiefs and Jaguars. Hurt.
00:02:26
So he had a hip injury that turned into soft tissue.
00:02:29
So now it's soft tissue and it's a clot.
00:02:31
Tissue. And.
00:02:32
He's on the IR, so you just lost your tight end who is leading
00:02:35
the team, leading Jacksonville with receptions.
00:02:38
Not in yards, but he had a lot of yards.
00:02:40
Too. I think of yards too.
00:02:41
Yeah, I keep thinking it should be Brian Thomas Junior, but as
00:02:44
we know, if you've been listening to the last couple
00:02:46
weeks, probably not. And then Trey Benson, so right
00:02:50
after some owners in some leagues, maybe Pruitt, bid
00:02:54
plenty of money to get the starting running back for
00:02:56
Arizona promptly to the IR on the day after bids were
00:03:01
announced. Within hours.
00:03:03
Within hours of that pick, they couldn't reported that a little
00:03:07
bit earlier. Come on.
00:03:09
Surely it didn't just sneak up on him anyway, so Antonio
00:03:12
Gibson, another one went down South.
00:03:14
He was pretty much getting backup carriers for New England
00:03:17
behind Refumble, A Stevenson and Antonio Gibson.
00:03:20
So maybe Trevion Henderson can now get touches more than four
00:03:24
or five. So we'll see what happens, but
00:03:27
that's another big loss, some big question marks.
00:03:29
So obviously Lamar Jackson and Brock Purdy didn't play last
00:03:31
week. Kyler Murray now has an ankle.
00:03:34
So all three of those guys are questionable for this week.
00:03:37
Bucky Irving doesn't look like he's going to play again this
00:03:39
week. So that one hurt last week.
00:03:41
Chuba Hubbard, he may have just got.
00:03:43
What's that? Is it pesky?
00:03:44
What was that dude like the famous baseball saying where the
00:03:48
replacement played for you and you got sniped?
00:03:51
So Rico Dowdle has just made Carolina a committee.
00:03:54
So even if Chuba comes back after 200 yards, which we'll
00:03:58
talk about here in a minute, Chuba, you better come back
00:04:02
quick, buddy, or you may be a backup.
00:04:04
I've got the Gainwell and Warren situation going on.
00:04:08
I got Warren on my team and he, Gainwell, played really well the
00:04:11
week that he was out. Yeah, a lot of those time shares
00:04:16
and as at the running out position, it's a killer and it's
00:04:19
brutal because we all have them, because it's almost impossible
00:04:22
to not have a running back who doesn't have a timeshare
00:04:24
anymore. But if you could get one that
00:04:26
doesn't, it's like gold, man. It's absolute gold.
00:04:30
It is few and far between in today's NFL.
00:04:32
Some wide receivers that you're going to have to just keep
00:04:34
watching during the course of the week.
00:04:36
Ricky Pearsall. Jawan Jennings for the Niners.
00:04:39
You're going with Mac Jones and some scrubs and.
00:04:43
Kendra. Born reborn like how in the
00:04:46
God's green earth did. You do so longus and Jay tongus.
00:04:51
But I guess at the end of the day, like, well, they have CMCI
00:04:54
know, yeah. That's.
00:04:55
Helpful. Even though he can't.
00:04:56
I don't know what's up with the Russian and.
00:04:57
When like 70% of the plays go to him, I guess, yeah.
00:05:01
It looks like old school Carolina when he was there with
00:05:04
Cam Newton, right? Just keep just pass it to him.
00:05:06
He has like what, 6 to 8 catches a week now?
00:05:09
It's like playing Tecmo with Bo Jackson.
00:05:12
It is. Anybody playing against them
00:05:14
should know it's going to Bo Jackson every play and it still
00:05:16
goes to him and they still get yards doesn't.
00:05:18
Matter. Even if he called the
00:05:20
marketplace, it's going to Bo. Yeah, it's insane how many times
00:05:24
I was watching some of their game and like like like you
00:05:29
said, Dex said it's not have that good of your running, but
00:05:31
it's like they keep throwing in the ball of the backfield.
00:05:33
So I'm like maybe cover him out of the back every time he comes
00:05:36
out of the backfield and there's he's like wide open.
00:05:38
Wide open. It's like.
00:05:40
They aren't covering me again. It's an automatic 5 yards and a
00:05:45
catch. That's it. 1 1/2 points every
00:05:47
play. I mean, yeah, that's.
00:05:49
Ridiculous they just keep covering tongas instead.
00:05:52
I don't know, they're getting beat double.
00:05:54
Tongas double. Tongas CD Lamb is another one
00:05:58
that is, I don't know, I don't think he plays this week again,
00:06:01
but he might. I guess they haven't.
00:06:04
They haven't ruled him out yet. So CD Lamb is a big maybe.
00:06:07
Terry Mclaurin, another guy that's people, fantasy owners
00:06:10
want him back, but I don't. I'm not really.
00:06:13
Yeah, those are both solid questionables as well.
00:06:16
On the tight end front, you got Brock Bowers, Britain Strange on
00:06:19
the IR. Johnny Smith, not sure.
00:06:21
I mean, he's coming off the bye Wiki.
00:06:23
Think he's probably fine now, but who knows.
00:06:26
So that's kind of like where we're sitting with newest
00:06:28
injuries. So we're not going to rehash all
00:06:29
the old ones because you're already tracking those.
00:06:31
But these are the ones fresh off the press as of time of
00:06:35
recording. But the other one I want to hit
00:06:36
you guys up on. So I don't know if it's
00:06:39
newsworthy or not. It's newsworthy.
00:06:41
I guess impact or not is the better word.
00:06:43
Joe Flacco traded to Cincinnati. It sounds like Jake Browning is
00:06:48
going to be benched this week, but it's but why?
00:06:51
Hey, it's at Green Bay. It's not the best match up for
00:06:55
an old quarterback with a bad offensive line.
00:06:58
I mean, I if you could drop a recipe that says disaster at the
00:07:01
end. More than that, I don't know.
00:07:05
Are you rushing out to get Joe Flacco this week?
00:07:09
You have a strong desire to get rid of some draft picks and and
00:07:13
throw some money away. Hire an old quarterback to play
00:07:16
against Green Bay. Yeah, that's crazy going.
00:07:19
To work out well. That's terrible.
00:07:21
Yeah. I'm not really sure what the
00:07:23
thought is there other than the fact that I mean, Joe Flacco has
00:07:28
over performed for a 40 year old quarterback maybe.
00:07:31
So maybe if you're rating him on a scale, he's better he.
00:07:37
Was good though, right? It's not like he was.
00:07:39
He's always been kind of there league average and then he's
00:07:44
remained league average I suppose.
00:07:46
And people were like, wow, he's still league average.
00:07:48
He's 40, so it seems like he's better than he is.
00:07:51
Maybe, I don't know. I just, I think it's kind of a
00:07:54
overreaction to be excited for him to go there behind that
00:07:57
line. I think he's less mobile than
00:07:59
Browning. Yes.
00:08:01
Do you see any chance of success here?
00:08:03
They're going to have to practice their wide receiver
00:08:06
screens and slant routes this week.
00:08:08
Totally. They're going to have about a
00:08:10
second and a half to throw every play and Chase Brown is going to
00:08:15
get obliterated. So I don't know, it just sounds
00:08:18
like a a grasping at straws. That's not going to end well to
00:08:23
me. But that's right.
00:08:25
That's why they play the game. I guess we'll see.
00:08:28
This is kind of fun. We'll get to our gambling stuff
00:08:30
at the end, but just the line on that game is 14 1/2 points.
00:08:36
Green Bay. That's kind of like in the
00:08:38
thing. Is a lot of points.
00:08:40
The over under is 44. So yeah, when you just kind of
00:08:44
extrapolate that out, they're not looking.
00:08:46
At a lot of. Scoring from.
00:08:47
Oh, they could get blown out like 24 to 10 and still covered.
00:08:52
Yes, yeah. Yes, they could.
00:08:54
All right, so I want to go into our centers and Saints just kind
00:08:57
of so we can talk about some of the the players, get our
00:08:59
opinions on them. So some of the Saints I was
00:09:02
we'll start with the good ones this week.
00:09:04
So Laporta, we've been kind of bagging on this guy for couple
00:09:08
of weeks, 5 for 92 with a touchdown.
00:09:12
Are you guys now on board that he's back?
00:09:15
He is 2 years ago, three years ago, Sam Laporta or he's still
00:09:19
just like, no, there's still a lot of mouths to feed and that
00:09:21
just happened to be his game. Yes, yeah, number option #2
00:09:25
he's. Sounds.
00:09:26
Like he's number. 2. Still, the flash in the pan.
00:09:29
I mean, everybody's going to have a good game now and then,
00:09:33
but I don't think it's sustainable.
00:09:34
Still does not look very fast to me.
00:09:38
Yeah, I don't know. I'm kind of with you.
00:09:41
I'm not going to rush out. I mean, he's probably not on too
00:09:43
many chop lists. So when you're tight end gives
00:09:45
you that many points, you're usually pretty good.
00:09:47
Stefan Dick. So he helped some owners out
00:09:49
this week. 10 for 1:46 great game revenge game, whatever you
00:09:54
want to call it, but he looked fine to me he looked fine to me
00:09:57
so I know he's not I don't even think he's a year on his ACL
00:10:01
from last year. I think that was like a week
00:10:02
eight thing, wasn't it? So the.
00:10:04
Fact that I don't think. Yeah, that's right.
00:10:06
Something like that. It's around a year.
00:10:08
He looks good. So I think you can plug in, plug
00:10:12
him in the lineups and feel pretty darn confident about it.
00:10:15
I think he's trending up each week.
00:10:16
He looks more and more like himself and he's clearly the
00:10:19
number one target. And it wasn't just because it
00:10:21
was a revenge game against the Bills.
00:10:23
Some of the quarterbacks that helped you out, Matt Stafford,
00:10:25
Sam Darnell, Dak Prescott, all 333 and four touched or 4, four
00:10:30
and three touchdowns respectively, all up near 400
00:10:33
for at least Stafford and Darnell.
00:10:34
I think Dak was in the two hundreds, but still, Egg Buca.
00:10:39
This rookie, we've told you before the season is the one we
00:10:42
really liked and we thought he could be one of the best.
00:10:45
OK, I didn't think it be this good, but I do remember saying
00:10:48
to Chisholm when he said I don't know about this and about the
00:10:51
third white out and I I just did a a funny little comparison to
00:10:55
Randy Moss. Like, he turned out pretty good
00:10:56
his rookie year behind two really good whiteouts and holy
00:10:59
crap, 7 for 163 and a touchdown. And where did you say he was
00:11:04
sitting on on wide receiver rankings right now, which is #3?
00:11:08
3 #3 Most scoring wide receivers in fantasy this year.
00:11:13
That's incredible. I think again, we talked about
00:11:16
him last week being an end game wide out.
00:11:19
I don't think he's premature. And every week he keeps proving
00:11:21
us right. So until otherwise, I don't mean
00:11:25
Godwin's back and he can say, well, Mike Evans comes back,
00:11:27
it'll it'll definitely go down. OK.
00:11:31
So you're not going to throw to your best guy.
00:11:32
Even when Mike Evans comes back, he's going to get nice.
00:11:35
Don't worry about it. But it's like Buca's going to
00:11:37
play Strawn for him. It's going to be more
00:11:40
opportunities for them to score. I think they'll still, it'll be
00:11:44
like a, you know, lighting a candle with a candle.
00:11:48
They're both going to end up with flames on them.
00:11:50
Yeah, right. This is going to help Baker,
00:11:53
who's having it's, it's kind of hard to say out loud.
00:11:56
Just because MVP candidate, is he not?
00:11:58
He has to be in the running. He just check his stats.
00:12:03
I mean, check his wins, he keeps winning.
00:12:06
Yeah, they're playing well. He went on the road to Seattle
00:12:11
and beat the Twelves. That's hard to do.
00:12:14
And Seattle's got a good defense, and they honked, what,
00:12:16
38 points? Yeah, 35 to 30. 8 I think, yeah,
00:12:22
that's a big win on the road against it.
00:12:23
That's a good defense. Seattle's it maybe he's the
00:12:26
third highest scoring quarterback in fantasy this
00:12:29
year. So and.
00:12:31
Has a lot to do with that. Was he #2 last year, at least
00:12:35
for a majority of the season? Yeah, he's definitely.
00:12:39
Top five. He.
00:12:39
He certainly. Finished up.
00:12:40
He ended four. Yeah.
00:12:43
Yeah, but with Evans out and Bucky Irving out and you're
00:12:46
playing Rashad White and a kind of a Frankenfoot Godwin, I think
00:12:52
that's just pretty impressive what Baker's doing with that
00:12:54
team. And we're not throwing AK dot.
00:12:56
Throwing AK dot. Definitely not going to throw to
00:12:59
our tight end. That's right.
00:13:01
All right, Couple other ones, neither the Super obvious.
00:13:03
So if you accidentally got Rico Dowdle to backfill Tuba Hubbard
00:13:07
being out, wow, you got a gift of a gift. 200 yards, a
00:13:14
touchdown, 3 catches and 28 yards.
00:13:18
Enrico by himself took you into the next week in guillotine
00:13:20
leagues. Did you guys have any Rico stock
00:13:24
or did you just get to watch everybody else happen?
00:13:27
I wish I actually considered picking him up in a league.
00:13:32
I think Rico outscored both of my running backs in the first
00:13:35
quarter. Yeah, I think he did that to a
00:13:36
lot of people last week. For sure, that was wild.
00:13:40
Yeah, Jonathan Taylor, another one.
00:13:41
Had a great week, 3 touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor is a man on a
00:13:45
mission right now. This is what he can do when he's
00:13:47
healthy. I mean, it's not without
00:13:48
precedent. He's done it couple different
00:13:50
seasons. He's really consistent too.
00:13:53
He is about him. I mean, Speaking of guys that
00:13:56
get the ball all the time, DJ Giddens has just been what, a
00:14:02
handful of carries a game? And it's it's not substantial.
00:14:05
It's just a breather because John the Taylor just ran 25
00:14:08
yards, 20 yards and 10 needs a break.
00:14:11
He comes in for a carry and then John the Taylor bangs in the end
00:14:14
zone. So he's just killing it.
00:14:17
Bill Krosky. So the guy that we mocked at the
00:14:21
beginning saying the seventh round guy, why they even put a
00:14:24
draft pick on him, boy, were we wrong.
00:14:26
Boy, were we wrong. So Bill Mccroskey 111, two
00:14:29
touchdowns. Rodriguez didn't really do
00:14:32
anything. Mcnichols didn't do anything.
00:14:34
It's it's his backfield. I think that's pretty clear.
00:14:37
You guys. What's your confidence meter on
00:14:38
Bill Croskey moving board? Ryan Robinson has to be like,
00:14:42
what did I do wrong? This is terrible, right?
00:14:45
How did I get outed for the seventh round pick?
00:14:47
And then you're like, well, maybe this guy is legit.
00:14:50
Then you got traded to go back up CMC, Christian McCann, right?
00:14:54
And I'm not going to get any curious here either.
00:14:56
And he's going to go the one year Christian McCaffrey is an
00:15:00
Iron Man. The end back up the guy that's
00:15:03
hurt every year, except he's going to be the healthiest on
00:15:06
the team this year and. When you look.
00:15:08
At San Francisco's roster. They're all out all the.
00:15:12
Starters are. Out McCaffrey.
00:15:13
'S like you guys are a bunch of facades.
00:15:15
It's not that one to stay vertical boys.
00:15:17
Stretch a little bit man. It's called stretching.
00:15:19
Come on. It's awesome.
00:15:22
Kyron Williams hooked up his owners with a huge game, 65
00:15:27
yards rushing. Like, that's not that bad, but
00:15:29
he had eight catches for 66 more and two receiving touchdowns.
00:15:33
So, Kyron. Williams with a massive game.
00:15:37
Jamar Chase, everybody's go. Domers.
00:15:39
Yeah, go ahead. What's that?
00:15:40
How does that go domers? Go Domers.
00:15:43
Yeah, yeah, Jamar Chase is everybody that spends A
00:15:46
ludicrous amount on him to get him.
00:15:48
He paid off at least for one week.
00:15:50
I would not hold my breath. You're going to get a repeat
00:15:52
performance this week at Green Bay with Joe Flacco potentially
00:15:55
there. But hey, you got your 6 for 110
00:15:57
and two touchdowns. Nice work, Jamar getting
00:16:01
something, Jason. Yeah, Ferguson, 7 for 49, two
00:16:05
touchdowns for Dallas and then Rashad White, 41 yards, 2
00:16:10
touchdowns and then 4 catches for 30 filling in for Bucky
00:16:13
Irving. He hooked his owners up as well,
00:16:15
so those are some of the Saints that carried their teams to
00:16:18
victories and kept their heads on.
00:16:20
Which leads us to the ones who did.
00:16:23
One more, one more honorable mention.
00:16:25
Jalen's Waddle. Yeah.
00:16:27
Had 6 for 110 and a touchdown filling in for Tyreke he's he
00:16:33
stepped in that number one role and pretty.
00:16:36
Confident in that, in that game, right?
00:16:39
Which was against the Carolina defense.
00:16:42
That was pretty pretty stout normally.
00:16:45
Yeah. So then we go into the sinners
00:16:48
and these are the ones that are probably available in your
00:16:50
league. In our league.
00:16:52
Unfortunately, the person that got chopped, what had to get
00:16:55
three of them. So his starting running backs or
00:16:58
James Cook and Travis Etienne, which every week has been just
00:17:03
gold. Jerry, it's been gold.
00:17:05
But this week, 49 yards for James Cook, no touchdowns broke
00:17:09
his streak of was it 8 straight games with a touchdown or
00:17:11
something? With a touchdown franchise.
00:17:13
Record. No catches.
00:17:15
Then. Traps in 49 yards, right?
00:17:19
Just nothing. So the Chiefs kind of kept him
00:17:21
in check, all things considered. That hurts.
00:17:24
And then to put the the final casing on our guy, He also had
00:17:29
Britain. Strange that one for 22 and then
00:17:31
got hurt in the first quarter and was out the dreaded.
00:17:34
First quarter injury as a fantasy player is absolutely
00:17:39
brutal. It is that that one hurts at
00:17:42
least some. Marion Hampton for their His
00:17:43
owners did it in the fourth quarter and had at least some
00:17:46
stats to get you over double digits, but that's killer.
00:17:49
Other notable ones this week. Zach urged with a doughnut.
00:17:52
He's been producing every week, but not this week.
00:17:55
Jameson Williams one catch for 9 yards.
00:17:58
Wolf. And that was after last week, a
00:18:00
huge performance. And that's what weird, I think
00:18:04
you were talking about this last week.
00:18:05
Chisholm Jameson Williams is one of those boomer bust guys.
00:18:09
Boy, this is what the bus looks like.
00:18:11
Yup, gets you chopped. And that's why it's hard to have
00:18:14
these. Guys and I started him this week
00:18:16
so I I was a. Ton of points from Yeah, right,
00:18:22
yeah. Yeah.
00:18:23
Alvin Kamara continues to be not dependable, at least for high
00:18:27
scores. We saw this coming.
00:18:29
Do we think he's done? No, the the problem is they're
00:18:32
not throwing him the ball. He's normally good for six
00:18:35
catches a game or something and they don't their offenses.
00:18:38
So we're tooled away from him, which is crazy, right?
00:18:41
I mean. It's the Spencer Rattler system,
00:18:44
and that's right. Against Spencer Rattler, even
00:18:46
playing bad. I mean Rattler.
00:18:49
'S not turning. The ball over, it's just.
00:18:51
No, he's not. It's just flat coke.
00:18:54
It's like he opened a coke four days ago and that's the New
00:18:57
Orleans Saints offense. Just flat.
00:18:59
Well. Nothing there, no bubbles.
00:19:01
Derek Carr's like long time nickname capped and checked down
00:19:07
right? That's why Kamara.
00:19:09
That's why Kamara got so many catches over the last three or
00:19:13
4. Years bad, man.
00:19:14
And now you got somebody with a real arm who's a little less
00:19:18
experienced and more willing to take some chances, and he's not
00:19:22
getting the ball. Well, he's throwing to Rashid
00:19:24
Shaheed. I mean, she'd had that huge cap.
00:19:26
That's a love it 73 yard touchdown though.
00:19:29
That was a huge 1 or 87, I think it was.
00:19:31
There's a humongous. 187 there's.
00:19:33
A huge one, yeah. And that was basically his whole
00:19:36
stat line. So I think he threw for 225
00:19:39
yards, but 87 on one play, which always, right.
00:19:43
So I think the other question I want to hit you guys up with is
00:19:46
Jawan Johnson's kind of had a couple back-to-back and he was
00:19:49
everybody's like who do you want Johnson's little cheat code down
00:19:52
there? He's getting all the balls
00:19:54
right. You still think that after his
00:19:56
two for 17 performance, I believe last week wasn't much
00:20:00
better. Do you guys still believe in
00:20:01
Jawan Johnson or you just like, well, that was a pretty good
00:20:03
early September. I am no longer and interested in
00:20:07
Jawan Johnson. Yeah, I was.
00:20:10
Yeah, I was never on the Jawan Johnson train personally.
00:20:13
Yeah. He's been around long enough
00:20:15
that he would have shown up by now if he was a real thing.
00:20:18
So I think it was just good fortune in the first few games.
00:20:21
I think that's right. Like he maybe had the right
00:20:24
match up first couple games. I mean, he's not bad.
00:20:27
He's an NFL tight end, right, But he's he's not he's not a top
00:20:31
third tight end. So hopefully you you traded
00:20:35
high. Yeah.
00:20:37
Right. Yeah.
00:20:37
Absolutely 2 for 17. Another killer though if you're
00:20:41
counting on to get some stats out of there.
00:20:43
Hope 3.7 got you through. Hope that worked out right.
00:20:46
RJ Harvey's another one. I want to hear your thoughts on
00:20:49
him. It just continues to be JK
00:20:51
Dobbins. That's another one of my guys,
00:20:54
RJ Harvey. All right, Chris, so you got
00:20:57
him. Are you confident and keeping
00:20:58
him moving forward? No bench got him here on out.
00:21:01
He's super annoying. He's supposed to be like he's
00:21:05
supposed to be the the juice. Right.
00:21:08
He's like the Trevion Henderson of Denver, and he is he's.
00:21:13
Purpose. He's exactly what he is.
00:21:16
He got, I got this guy thinking there's tons of upside and he's
00:21:18
going to break off a few long runs a game and maybe a couple
00:21:22
touchdowns here and there. But it's like just he hasn't
00:21:26
broken anything. I mean, he's I've watched few of
00:21:28
their games. He's he is quick and he's got
00:21:30
ability. But yeah, he's not going to get
00:21:32
fed enough. So lack.
00:21:34
Of just I'm ready to trade. Anyone wants to, anyone wants RJ
00:21:38
Harvey, I'm I'm listening. Although he is very valuable
00:21:42
because he has a lot of upside. Yeah.
00:21:43
Is there a crickets button Pruitt to hit so we can wait for
00:21:46
everybody that's going to throw in their.
00:21:48
Software Corum, who's good for at least two carries a game
00:21:52
unless he fumbles his first carry.
00:21:54
Hey, then he goes on the bench and stays so totally.
00:21:58
On the on the same kind of deal and just was kind of talking
00:22:00
about Trevion Henderson. What do you guys think of him?
00:22:02
Pruitt, are you in on Trevion Henderson or do you think he's
00:22:05
closer to RJ Harvey? Or do you think he's on the
00:22:08
verge of more carries now that Gibson's out?
00:22:11
I think he took a a trend upward this week.
00:22:14
Unfortunately, with Gibson's injury, I think that forces them
00:22:17
to get Trevion more involved. He's continuing to prove that he
00:22:22
can hold on to the ball better than Ramondre can.
00:22:24
Well. It's not hard, you just hold on
00:22:26
to the ball. I can too.
00:22:30
If you don't fumble every 4th carry then you should get more
00:22:34
carries. He's got a better chance of
00:22:37
taking a step forward over RJ Harvey, so if I were for April,
00:22:41
I would continue to get him more and more involved.
00:22:44
Yeah, Chisholm, where you at on him?
00:22:47
You already have one of these mercurial running backs that has
00:22:50
talent but no opportunity. Would you dare put Trayvion
00:22:54
Henderson on your team with RJ Harvey?
00:22:56
I'll say I would rather have Trayvion than RJ right now.
00:23:01
I think he's going to have more opportunities for sure like
00:23:03
Pruitt said. So if you're going to have to
00:23:05
keep one of these poop sticks on your team, then I would hope
00:23:10
that Trayvion would be the one you have because I don't think
00:23:13
RJ is doing anything unless unless JK comes up.
00:23:15
Lame. Yeah, the biggest surprise to me
00:23:18
with Trevion is how he's not being more involved in the
00:23:20
passing game. Like how does he only get 2
00:23:23
catches that? Looks wheel routes out of that.
00:23:27
Dude that would be fun. Anything.
00:23:29
The flat pass, we just talked about how CMC is always open.
00:23:32
I promise that play works for everybody.
00:23:35
Just want Trevion. Into the flat and let him run
00:23:38
really fast. 2 will catch it. One guy, one yeah. 1 linebacker
00:23:43
misses. He's got 12 yards easy, right?
00:23:47
And he's, you know, if he could take it to the house.
00:23:49
I I just didn't wait in Josh McDaniels to do that play and it
00:23:52
just never happens. So, yeah, is what it is.
00:23:56
Another one like one we liked a lot, Woody Marks last week or
00:24:00
two weeks ago looked really good.
00:24:01
Got the opportunities, got 17 carries.
00:24:04
And then in a blowout win at Baltimore, where I expected woo,
00:24:08
here comes Woody. No, man, he had 24 yards.
00:24:11
That was it. They ran a third string and a
00:24:13
fourth string against Baltimore. I mean, that's either just you
00:24:17
guys are so crappy, we're not even going to waste our backup
00:24:19
on you guys. We're going to go off the scout
00:24:21
team and run those guys and use their reps, I guess, right?
00:24:26
And it worked. They just didn't need them at
00:24:27
all. So I don't know if I'm exactly
00:24:29
worried about Woody Marks. They were up huge and Baltimore
00:24:33
got a couple touchdowns at the end, but not really anything to
00:24:38
put the game remotely in doubt. Here's one I need your Gay's
00:24:44
opinion on. Tell our shrewdness listeners
00:24:46
out there, what do they do with Derrick Henry?
00:24:49
33 yards. 33 yards. That's.
00:24:52
What? Three weeks out of five, he
00:24:55
hasn't even cracked. I don't even know if he's
00:24:57
cracked. The problem is problem is when
00:24:59
you're when you're down to touchdowns every time you get
00:25:02
the ball, there's not a lot of patience to to run it.
00:25:06
The question I I would have doesn't catch and he can't
00:25:09
catch. Question I would have is if I
00:25:12
were the Ravens, what do you do with Derrick Henry?
00:25:15
There's a, there's a lot of value right there.
00:25:18
Do you think would they ever consider a trade here?
00:25:21
Would they ever? Be like, you know what?
00:25:23
I don't either, but it's fun if you're playing Madden.
00:25:26
But when you got real life humans, there's no way you're
00:25:28
doing it. Madden.
00:25:29
I'm trading them, no doubt. Let's go.
00:25:31
Now. That's right, defense, because
00:25:33
you just lost your whole defensive starters give you a
00:25:35
deep tackle for Namdi, right? But after his first week, 18 for
00:25:39
169, two touchdowns since then, 11 for 2312 for 50.
00:25:45
That's his next best game 8 for 4215 for 33.
00:25:50
I mean, that is 2 point junk per carry.
00:25:55
And I knew he used to be a tough match up.
00:25:57
I thought it would. I said defensive travel.
00:25:59
They got a good run D, but I didn't see that.
00:26:01
I mean, jeez. No 2 yards.
00:26:03
To carry, that's brutal. I mean, he got in the end zone.
00:26:06
That's the only reason anyone got anything out of him.
00:26:09
Yeah, he scored four touchdowns on the year, but after Week 1,
00:26:13
it's like a whole lot of just cloud of dust you have Derek.
00:26:18
Hitter, you're pot committed and you're kind of screwed.
00:26:20
What do you guys think? I mean, I don't know.
00:26:22
He does have. He has no trade value right now.
00:26:25
You're trading at the bottom. I've said even last year, you
00:26:28
know, he's great on weeks that he can run the ball, but he just
00:26:32
he gets so few targets in APPR league though, he's really not
00:26:36
very valuable in my opinion. There's just so many other
00:26:39
options. That's right.
00:26:41
A catch for 0 yards versus A10 yard run is easy.
00:26:45
So you get 1010 targets a game. I mean, it's no, that's a great.
00:26:49
Point for it. So Chase Brown has been just as
00:26:52
anemic on the ground running the ball, but he had 7 catches last
00:26:56
week and even it's like 7 for 20 yards, but that's nine points.
00:27:02
You got 9 points. So that's a big difference.
00:27:04
Receiving back, it's a big difference, absolutely, and fans
00:27:08
like. We talked about for our Saints,
00:27:10
I mean, 6-8 catches for 66 yards.
00:27:13
So if you would have just had only 65 in the touchdown, like
00:27:16
that's not that good, but you do the rest, you're up in 30
00:27:19
freaking points. And that's right, just a
00:27:21
different packs of catch balls. And don't he only had one target
00:27:25
last game for Derrick Henry too. And Justice Hillary the 1st.
00:27:28
Guy that the first guy that revolutionized the position with
00:27:31
this that I remember was Marshall Faulk.
00:27:33
And. I had Marshall Faulk one year,
00:27:36
and I was like the ultimate hack in fantasy.
00:27:39
It was like, no one can touch me because I have Marshall Faulk
00:27:42
and he's going to get 30 points a game.
00:27:44
He's going to have all kinds of receiving yards.
00:27:46
So fun to watch. And now, now you see the guys in
00:27:51
that vein are super, super valuable.
00:27:53
Yeah. And hard to find.
00:27:55
Lt. back in the day, Ricky Waters back in the day, those
00:27:58
dudes just got it. So those are our sinners and
00:28:02
Saints, I think. I have a new segment I want to
00:28:05
introduce dex. Let's do it.
00:28:07
Cheers what we got. All right.
00:28:08
So we're five weeks in this segment.
00:28:11
I've thought a lot about this. This segment is called You
00:28:14
should have saved your draft pick, Jackass.
00:28:16
OK, so that's the name of the segment.
00:28:18
And what we're going to do is we're going to make all of you
00:28:20
feel really bad, including me, and we're going to talk about
00:28:24
guys that you drafted really high thinking that you were set
00:28:28
because you drafted them and. Who you could have?
00:28:31
Waited and taken who scored more points than them.
00:28:34
OK. Off the free agent wire.
00:28:36
Off the free agent wire. OK, let's start with the
00:28:38
quarterback position. We'll go quickly here.
00:28:40
You drafted Lamar Jackson. Yeah.
00:28:42
Should have saved your draft pick, Jackass, because you could
00:28:46
have had Daniel Jones, who has more fantasy points this year
00:28:51
than Lamar Jackson. That's right.
00:28:53
Daniel Jones, who probably went undrafted in your league You
00:28:57
could have had. Instead you wasted that first
00:29:00
rounder on who was supposed to be your saving grace, Jackass.
00:29:05
Same thing, Jackass. You drafted Jordan Love.
00:29:10
You drafted Jordan Love. This was his year.
00:29:12
You could have had instead. Spencer Radler.
00:29:16
You still could have. Spencer Radler.
00:29:18
Most have Spitz Radler. Yeah.
00:29:23
Right, because you saw the upside and you saw what he did
00:29:26
last year. Jayden Daniels.
00:29:28
Now, I know he's been hurt. I know he's been hurt.
00:29:30
However, you got more fantasy value out of Mac Jones.
00:29:36
That's right. Mac Jones has scored more
00:29:39
fantasy points I did hope than Jayden Daniels.
00:29:43
Yeah, right. Now, let's look at running
00:29:46
backs. If you didn't feel bad enough,
00:29:48
Jackass, here's some guys that you drafted early, early in the
00:29:52
draft because they were going to be your saving grace.
00:29:56
How about you wanted you wanted Breece Hall.
00:29:59
You saw the upside of Breece Hall.
00:30:00
He was a top five guy, right? A couple years ago, he was going
00:30:05
to come back. Well, you could have drafted him
00:30:08
or you could have saved your draft pick, Jackass, and drafted
00:30:12
Cam Scataboo, who's got three more fantasy points than Breece
00:30:17
Hall. Or even better, you drafted
00:30:19
Derrick Henry. We were just talking about all
00:30:22
Derek, right? Sure thing, man.
00:30:24
Lock that guy down. Saved your draft pick, Jackass.
00:30:28
You could have drafted Bill. Bill has more points than
00:30:33
Derrick Henry. Kroski, Barrett.
00:30:36
How do you feel now? You feel good so far, You
00:30:38
feeling good about these picks that you made that were that
00:30:41
were genius of you, but you had just.
00:30:43
Give me some wide out who did. I give you some wide outs.
00:30:46
This is the last thing we're going to do.
00:30:47
We'll do wide outs. Oh, this is going to be careful.
00:30:50
I know one. It's going to be in the list.
00:30:52
It will be Mcconkey. It absolutely.
00:30:55
You drafted Devo Samuel because he is the man and he was going
00:31:01
to play with Jane Daniels. Well, Jackass, you could have
00:31:03
drafted George Pickens because he has more wide receiver
00:31:07
points. Hey, how about this one Shamar
00:31:10
Chase? He's the number one overall
00:31:12
pick, right? You got to take him one or you
00:31:16
could have saved your draft pick and taken Quinton Johnston.
00:31:20
Mr. Dropsy. Mr. Dropsy has more points than
00:31:24
Jay Marr Chase so far, right? That's, I mean, hey, Jay Zay
00:31:30
flowers #1 the number one wide receiver on the Ravens.
00:31:34
Or take Trey Tucker because he's got the same number of points,
00:31:39
actually two more points than Zay Flowers so far.
00:31:43
I mean, you got to feel good about yourself, right?
00:31:47
And Week 5, you're thinking I'm set up, I got these guys were
00:31:51
locked down. But instead, this is what
00:31:53
happens to you. Devante Smith, the slim Reaper.
00:31:57
Yeah, he's the deep threat in that offense, and they're the
00:32:02
defending Super Bowl champs. I took him pretty early and I
00:32:05
should have saved my draft pick jackasses, because I could have
00:32:09
had Taekwon Thornton, who now has the same number of points as
00:32:15
Devante Smith. That's right, Taekwon Thornton,
00:32:18
wide receiver 8 on the Chiefs, has four points.
00:32:21
Taekwon Thornton. I mean, lad Mcconkey.
00:32:26
That one hurts. Lad Mcconkey number one guy,
00:32:30
right? He is about as sure as they
00:32:33
could get when it comes to bringing in those points.
00:32:37
Carry on the team. Or you could let him go get 5
00:32:42
more points and draft Troy Franklin.
00:32:45
Love Troy Franklin. Wow.
00:32:50
Franklin same for Bryant Thomas junior.
00:32:53
Bryant Thomas junior, same thing.
00:32:55
Could have had Troy Franklin just as good.
00:32:57
A.J. Brown less than Troy Franklin,
00:33:00
A.J. Brown, A.J.
00:33:02
Brown, Lad, Mcconkey and Bryant Thomas Junior.
00:33:05
All less points than Troy Franklin, son, when you're
00:33:10
thinking you're a genius. Just what about Xavier Worthy?
00:33:14
Savior worthy, You could go. Savior worthy.
00:33:16
I'll tell you what you could have with Xavier Worthy.
00:33:19
You could have. You could have let Xavier Worthy
00:33:21
go and you could have Olamide Zacchaeus.
00:33:25
Olamide Zacchaeus gives you the same number of points.
00:33:29
Savior Worthy 5 weeks. Yeah, it was.
00:33:34
Fun isn't fantasy fun. I love fantasy.
00:33:37
You drafted the shiny object, the Heisman Trophy winner,
00:33:41
Travis Hunter. Love it.
00:33:44
Well, you could have kept your draft pick, Jackass, and instead
00:33:49
drafted Cavante Turpin. He's got more points.
00:33:54
Cavante Turpin. Fonten.
00:33:56
Dallas Cowboys has now outscored not only Travis Hunter, but
00:34:01
Jerry Judy, Mike Evans, Jordan Addison.
00:34:06
Yes, that list is all the guys that you drafted ahead of
00:34:09
Kevante Turpent. So with the next time you think
00:34:11
you're a fantasy genius, or the next time you listen to us and
00:34:14
you think we're fantasy geniuses.
00:34:17
Yeah. We'll have a.
00:34:19
Second has Turpent, Franklin have all these guys.
00:34:24
I drafted them. All doubt again, every doubt
00:34:26
again, we'll revisit who you could have had and who you took.
00:34:30
So that's that little segment recurring every seven or eight
00:34:33
weeks or so, we'll call it. Keep your draft picks, Jackass.
00:34:37
Hope you. Enjoy it.
00:34:39
All right, Well, thank you for that Chip.
00:34:41
Love it. I feel much worse now than I did
00:34:44
earlier. This is exactly what we're
00:34:46
supposed to do, I think. So now let's go into kind of
00:34:51
our, we're getting in the bye weeks.
00:34:53
We're going to have some shrewd moves for you.
00:34:55
So bye week band aids, and we're going to just kind of give you a
00:34:59
few at each position to help you get through some bye weeks or
00:35:04
some injuries to keep your head on.
00:35:06
So we kind of already talked about 1 Spencer Radler.
00:35:09
I got to cut in and I got to, I got to give myself honorable
00:35:14
mention as we start this segment.
00:35:16
I had Bijan Robinson and Jalen Warren on by and my backup
00:35:22
running backs were Blake Horem and Brian Robinson, who neither
00:35:28
one have scored more than like 6 points all year, right?
00:35:31
So I had to go get somebody. I thought I had Benson, who
00:35:36
immediately went on IRI, thought I was host this week, but I
00:35:40
pulled out Brashard Smith who got me a measly 6 points, but it
00:35:46
was way better than a zero and I survived.
00:35:50
And now I have Bijan and Jalen Warren the rest of the season
00:35:55
through there by weeks and all that.
00:35:56
So you. Got.
00:35:59
To do, you got to. Sneak through your buys.
00:36:02
That's what you got to do. Sneak through your buys.
00:36:03
That's that's the toughest part of guillotine and if you have
00:36:08
early buys, it's really tough. Yeah, I want to hit you up on
00:36:12
what do you do if, for example, there's a couple decent running
00:36:18
backs with some high pedigree available, but their bye weeks
00:36:20
are coming up like James Cook? Let's just jump right into one.
00:36:23
James Cook is going to be available in a lot of leagues
00:36:25
because of his performance last week, but his bye week is week
00:36:29
7. Do you spend the money for one
00:36:33
week and then no, he's going to be on by right after that and
00:36:37
have to find someone else. I mean, you have to bid
00:36:40
something. But how much do you discount
00:36:42
them in a situation like that? So Chisholm, if you have James
00:36:47
Cook and you, you have somebody, right?
00:36:49
I mean, maybe you're not in Pruitt situation where you got
00:36:51
both your running backs back off of by living the dream.
00:36:55
And if you have no one injured, maybe you don't have Irving or
00:36:57
Hubbard and you need them. Like, what are you willing to
00:37:00
bid on James Cook knowing he's immediately going to go and buy
00:37:03
the next week? No, that's right.
00:37:05
So this is where you got a this is the one of the things we
00:37:08
talked about a lot, the difference in traditional
00:37:10
fantasy and guillotine fantasy because you think, oh, James
00:37:13
Cook, I got to get James Cook. I want James Cook on my team.
00:37:16
Look at news for you. Your team will not be here if
00:37:20
you if you spend too much on James Cook.
00:37:22
So you're going to enjoy James Cook for a week if you're not
00:37:26
thinking ahead. So you got to be thinking about
00:37:28
who do I have week 7? Now if you got two guys you feel
00:37:31
good about in week 7 and he's going to be an upgrade after
00:37:34
that, you kind of you could probably get aggressive.
00:37:37
But if you're going to need to fill a hole, yes, because of
00:37:40
James Cook, you got to discount him pretty significantly.
00:37:45
And and that's the hard part to get your mind around when you're
00:37:48
thinking about about guillotine because you just see a shiny
00:37:50
object and you're like, I got to get him and I'll spend what I
00:37:52
need and what's he worth? He's worth nothing to you in
00:37:54
Week 7. That's what he's worth.
00:37:55
Yeah, zero. So like that's that's how you
00:38:00
got to change your thinking. And it's really difficult
00:38:02
because he is a he's a great player.
00:38:05
Last week aside, he's a great player.
00:38:07
You want him on your team. He's going to start every week,
00:38:10
but you have to discount him and you've got to think about roster
00:38:14
management and what you're going to have in Week 7.
00:38:17
Because right now he's running back four.
00:38:19
So RB4 on the list, right ahead of Gibbs and behind CMC Jonathan
00:38:24
Taylor and Javonte Williams. It's just still weird saying
00:38:27
that. But these are the only ones
00:38:28
ahead of them. James Williams and James Cook's
00:38:31
going to be there and his one week is going to be on the road
00:38:34
in Atlanta for a Monday night game this week.
00:38:37
I just it's it's hard for me to be willing to spend too much
00:38:41
money. It'd be a because I think he
00:38:43
might be available in week 7, might get cut that week.
00:38:48
So I think I would bid way more on him in week 7 when he they
00:38:53
show up again. If, if the team that bids on him
00:38:55
doesn't do what Chisholm saying, if you don't have too good
00:38:58
running backs to get you through week 7, if James Cook you're
00:39:02
counting on for that week too, you're in trouble.
00:39:04
So I think you have to have some depth.
00:39:05
What do you think for it? Well, so I'm, I'm in a situation
00:39:09
like you mentioned where I've, I do have two guys now that I can
00:39:12
play every week, assuming they don't get hurt or something, but
00:39:16
can't predict that. But yeah, do I?
00:39:19
I, I have Blake Corman, Brashard Smith on my bench doing nothing
00:39:26
for me. Now, I could go after one of
00:39:29
these guys, but I think I may be able to get Trayvon Henderson.
00:39:36
I may be able to get James Cook. Who else is out there?
00:39:39
There's a couple more from the team that got cut this week.
00:39:43
I don't know if I need them for the next couple weeks.
00:39:46
So why not save my money and. That's the other.
00:39:49
Thing you know there's going to be other and cheap like guys
00:39:53
yeah that'll be cheaper in two weeks and they'll be past their
00:39:56
bye weeks so that's right I one of my strategies I I kind of
00:40:01
screwed up and drafted Jalen Warren not realizing he had the
00:40:04
same bye week as Bijan but. Once I knew I had Bijan on my
00:40:08
team, my strategy became, you know, throw what I had to to get
00:40:15
through Week 5 and then I'm golden, right?
00:40:17
I got a great running back for the rest of the season that I
00:40:20
know I can plug in there every week.
00:40:21
So I think it opened up more options for me.
00:40:24
But now I like you're Sanchez. I got to be careful that I'm not
00:40:28
jumping too early on a guy that I'm not going to be able to use
00:40:31
every week. Right.
00:40:33
Especially after he just laid an egg.
00:40:36
Yeah, he's laid right. Derrick Henry's laid four
00:40:39
straight eggs. Really.
00:40:40
So I think Derrick Henry's in your league available again.
00:40:43
You've been one week and then he's going to be on by as well.
00:40:47
100 is like what I do at Derrick Henry.
00:40:51
Maybe a couple. 100 and James Cook at most.
00:40:53
But if you passed by week and you had a good situation, he'd
00:40:57
probably used to go for over 3. And I know other podcasts will
00:41:01
kind of talk about not spending that much money, but if you want
00:41:03
a good guy, top 4 back is someone you would spend the
00:41:06
money on and that can help kind of seal the deal.
00:41:09
You need a lot of in game players but they get cheaper at
00:41:11
the end too so. You can keep those.
00:41:13
Guys for 75 to 125 later weeks just kind of depends on what you
00:41:18
need to. Do if I've got a guy, let's just
00:41:20
say I I wish I had this guy. I got Justin Jefferson this
00:41:24
week, so yeah, I got Nico Collins this week.
00:41:27
He's on a buy. I need wide receiver, man.
00:41:30
Yeah. You got any?
00:41:31
You got any answers for me? So trouble so on who's
00:41:34
available, right? So I think there's a couple guys
00:41:39
out there that could be pretty good.
00:41:41
The ones I feel best about. So I'll give a list of people,
00:41:44
but I'm going to start with the two that I think have the best
00:41:46
shot of giving you some points. Sterling Shepherd for Tampa Bay.
00:41:50
And because Mike Evans probably is going to be back this week
00:41:52
and a Mecca book is there. Chris Goddamn's there.
00:41:54
I got it. But there's a connection there.
00:41:56
And Sterling Shepherd's been targeted multiple times each
00:41:59
game, every week. Former teammate, a Baker, he
00:42:02
trusts him. So I think Sterling Shepard's a
00:42:04
good one to look at. He's going to be widely
00:42:06
available. You'll be able to get him and
00:42:08
fill him in. And the other one I like
00:42:10
personally is Xavier Leggette. So he came back this past week
00:42:13
from a hamstring injury. He had a kind of a breakout game
00:42:16
last week. He did, yeah.
00:42:17
He wasn't a breakout, breakout guy.
00:42:19
He was getting targeted and got the ball and that's that's kind
00:42:22
of what. For him, it's a breakout game.
00:42:23
He's. Not for him.
00:42:24
It's a breakout, especially when he come from zeros.
00:42:26
What I like the most is his matchup is Dallas Carolina
00:42:31
versus Dallas. So I feel like it's Carolina
00:42:35
Dallas, Dexter's going to be covering him because that's what
00:42:39
that's what Dallas's secondary looks like right now.
00:42:42
It is. It's going to be a broken knee.
00:42:44
I mean, Dexter's, let me tell you guys, he's sneaky quick.
00:42:47
But I mean, I don't know. I don't know how you match up.
00:42:50
I don't know how you match. Up may have gets look at me
00:42:53
every now and then. He might get me on his on his
00:42:56
cuts. So I like Shepard and Legette
00:42:58
the best at wide receiver. Who do you guys like?
00:43:00
You got anybody you're eyeballing this week on the
00:43:01
waiver wire? I'll tell you who I like.
00:43:04
I like Trey Tucker. So Trey Tucker, who I just
00:43:08
mocked in the last segment, I like him.
00:43:13
He's only owned by 45% of people in our league.
00:43:17
Well, I'm sorry in all leagues, not just in our league, because
00:43:21
if he was owned by anyone, it would be 100% In our league.
00:43:25
He is owned by 45% of of leagues and he is one of those guys that
00:43:32
shouldn't get the ball as much as he does.
00:43:35
But again, I I think Gino just likes him.
00:43:38
He seems to have that connection and there's some of these things
00:43:41
are a little bit inexplicable. He's got a lot of points this
00:43:43
season. He started out as the 200 and
00:43:45
ranked player and he is now the. He's got that starting spot
00:43:50
right. So wide receiver 2IN any
00:43:52
offense. Trey Tucker is the guy that that
00:43:54
I would be looking at, yeah. And he's he's, he's widely, not
00:43:59
widely, but yeah, more than, you know, more than 50%.
00:44:02
You could get him. Yeah.
00:44:03
For sure. Keyshawn, Keyshawn, Bootay.
00:44:07
That's who Pruitt was talking about earlier.
00:44:10
Yeah, so Troy Franklin is available in a lot of leagues,
00:44:14
plays for Denver. He's had a a pretty good last
00:44:17
few weeks. They're playing The Jets this
00:44:19
week. And The Jets are not great.
00:44:22
Let's be honest. They're not.
00:44:24
They've got Sauce Gardner. That's zero in the win column.
00:44:29
Sauce Gardner is decent, you know, he's a good, good
00:44:31
cornerback, but he's going to be lined up with Sutton most of the
00:44:34
time this this next game. So guys like Marvin Mims and
00:44:38
Troy Franklin are probably available in your league.
00:44:41
Only 29 and 26% owned. So either one of those guys I
00:44:46
think could step in and get you. Probably not 20 points or
00:44:49
anything, but maybe they get 6 catches for 60 yards and maybe a
00:44:55
touchdown, maybe not. Either way, you're getting, you
00:44:58
know, 10 plus points. Nice.
00:44:59
I like it. So there's another couple guys I
00:45:02
want to throw out. Flournoy.
00:45:05
Flournoy. I don't even know how to say his
00:45:07
name. Dallas.
00:45:08
So the guy who just erupted, yeah, no one did against The
00:45:13
Jets. I know no one did.
00:45:14
That's because we even talked before we thought it was going
00:45:16
to be a Coker, right? Dylan Coker or not?
00:45:21
Jane Coker? What's that dude's name on
00:45:22
Dallas? We were talk.
00:45:24
Is it Tolbert? Dallas is guys supposed to be
00:45:27
good. Tolbert sucked and did nothing,
00:45:30
and instead it turned into Ryan Flournoy.
00:45:34
Flournoy. Like what?
00:45:38
How on earth does he go for six for 114 out of nowhere?
00:45:43
So I don't know if that's believable, but when you look at
00:45:45
George Pickens had two, like how do you get 3 times as many
00:45:49
catches as George Pickens? That's weird to me, right?
00:45:53
Ferguson had his seven catches for 49, so that was expected.
00:45:57
But you didn't expect 6 from a guy you never heard of.
00:46:00
I didn't let me just throw that. I didn't.
00:46:02
So I'm not a fantasy mastermind, but if you had Ryan Florino, I
00:46:06
picked up on your team 0%. You, my friend, are a genius and
00:46:12
we should get you on the show, right?
00:46:13
But. What about, what about Jake
00:46:16
Tongas? We met, we were mocking Jake
00:46:18
Tongas. If I need to tight end, Jake
00:46:20
Tongas has owned in 4% of Leagues 4, that's low.
00:46:25
That's a low number. Smaller than five it is.
00:46:28
So is he somebody that we like at least for another week?
00:46:32
Well, cuz Kittle's still out, yes.
00:46:34
I think he would survive or help you survive.
00:46:36
Kittle's still out, so yes. He's a bye week Band-Aid.
00:46:39
Right, he is, but he has 19 catches, 166 yards and the most
00:46:44
important part for a dude that doesn't get too much, 3
00:46:47
touchdowns. So they look for him in the red
00:46:50
zone, it gets in. So there's nothing really wrong
00:46:53
with that. The guy that I picked up this
00:46:55
last two weeks ago who's really on the on the upward trend is
00:47:00
Mason Taylor, tied in for The Jets.
00:47:03
Oh yeah. Garrett Wilson, way too many
00:47:06
targets. Teams have figured that out.
00:47:08
They've started cutting him down.
00:47:11
So The Jets have been forced and because they're losing all the
00:47:14
time, they're forced to throw the ball, so they had to have
00:47:16
another target. He's really stepped forward the
00:47:19
last two games. He's still only owned in 14% of
00:47:22
leagues. I started in this last week.
00:47:25
He had 17 points in Week 5, right?
00:47:28
9 catches. Crazy.
00:47:29
Throw him right in the flex immediately.
00:47:31
So yeah, I started that one, Absolutely.
00:47:33
And Ferguson this week made out like a bandit.
00:47:37
Yeah, Harold Fan and Junior is another one that could be pretty
00:47:39
good. So you got 21 catches, 173 and a
00:47:42
touchdown, and he just keeps getting looked at.
00:47:45
And Dylan Gabriel is someone that I got to believe is going
00:47:49
to be throwing to tight ends again.
00:47:50
I don't necessarily love the matchup at Pittsburgh this week,
00:47:54
but Pittsburgh's not that scary either when you get down to it.
00:47:58
So I think Harold Fanning could be a nice Band-Aid for the week
00:48:01
as well at tight end. All right, running backs,
00:48:04
gentlemen, who do you got for running back?
00:48:06
Like it? You got anyone on the list that
00:48:07
you're eyeballing? Help some folks out.
00:48:12
So this week, there we go. Because.
00:48:16
Yeah, that's that's kind of the most obvious 1.
00:48:19
I think Kendre Miller is not a bad one.
00:48:22
Tyler Alzier, Richard Smith again, those are kind of some
00:48:25
other ones you can throw some spaghetti on the wall.
00:48:27
Not even not even not even a Homer.
00:48:30
Only owned in 39% of the league's Kareem Hunt.
00:48:34
And not because Kareem Hunt's going to get fed a lot, but
00:48:36
Kareem Hunt gets fed a lot on the goal line.
00:48:38
Yeah. So if you are, you know, betting
00:48:42
on the Chiefs and the Lions, I'm thinking is going to be the
00:48:45
over. So.
00:48:46
So I think there's probably going to be a lot of a lot of
00:48:49
scoring in that game. I could see Korean Hunt getting
00:48:51
into the end zone. He's only on 39% league so could
00:48:55
be. Very surprising he's that low.
00:48:57
I didn't think he'd be that low so.
00:48:59
Yeah. That's a deck strategy I know is
00:49:04
to look for high scoring teams, high scoring games and pick up
00:49:10
whoever's available, right? If you're throwing a flyer out
00:49:13
there, you want a guy for the Chiefs or Lions.
00:49:15
You don't want a guy for The Jets or Browns, you know, teams
00:49:20
that aren't scoring points. If you're going to take a a run
00:49:25
at somebody, take a run at somebody that could score a
00:49:27
touchdown. Yeah, because it could even be
00:49:29
better than like, like if you're like me and you have the number
00:49:33
one and only really running back for the Tennessee Titans.
00:49:38
So what? Tony Pollard, he he gets a lot
00:49:42
of carries, he's not scored a lot.
00:49:45
So I'd much rather look at one of these guys on a high scoring
00:49:48
team. That's a lot of work for six or
00:49:51
seven points. That's.
00:49:53
Right, and Tajae Spears is probably going to be getting
00:49:55
more involved as we move forward, too.
00:49:57
For Tennessee's back. Your Pollard owner.
00:49:59
Yeah, that's the thing. So he's not going to get more
00:50:02
carries with Tajae Spears around.
00:50:05
Who knows? We'll see what happens.
00:50:07
But those are some shrewd moves. Bye week band aids that can get
00:50:10
you through quarterbacks. There's probably better ones out
00:50:13
there, but the ones that nobody owns, Dylan Gabriel, Spencer
00:50:16
Radler, Cooper Rush, Joe Flacco. I don't feel really comfortable
00:50:20
with any of those dudes. Probably the best 1.
00:50:24
Spencer Radler, just because he doesn't turn the ball over, he's
00:50:26
not going to go backwards, but he also doesn't throw too many
00:50:28
touchdowns. So it's kind of what do you do
00:50:32
with this? Quarterbacks are a little
00:50:34
skinny, but there's also, I mean, if you're really counting
00:50:38
on Carson Wentz to carry you and he's on by or CJ Stroud, you're
00:50:42
probably already hurt in there. So hopefully you got a better
00:50:45
guy that's available in your league other than those.
00:50:48
Four. With only two teams on by this
00:50:49
week, you shouldn't be hurt in a quarterback, but there are a few
00:50:53
options. Available.
00:50:54
Yeah, I believe week 8 is the one that's.
00:50:56
Let's talk, Let's talk picks. Let's do it.
00:51:02
All right, so you want to go through our sleepers and spuds
00:51:06
first? You want to jump into gambling?
00:51:08
Yeah, let's do sleepers, spuds. We're we're a little bit below
00:51:12
what we want to be on the season.
00:51:13
So our target is 33% for sleepers.
00:51:17
After this week, we're at 27%. So a little bit lower than we'd
00:51:22
like. We did hit with Taekwon Thornton
00:51:26
this week. So if he got Taekwon Thornton
00:51:29
and put him in, he scored 12 points, which gets over the 8
00:51:33
1/2 that we had. His target.
00:51:35
We missed with Woody marks as Dexter described.
00:51:38
We really thought he's going to get something and he didn't for
00:51:41
whatever reason. And we missed with Brenton
00:51:43
Strange, mainly because he decided to pull a hammy in the
00:51:48
in the first half. So well, it's hip, hip.
00:51:51
Both those we, we are hip, hip, hammy, soft tissue something.
00:51:55
Wow. We're going to.
00:51:56
Be either way, not a, not a not going to play anymore after the
00:51:59
first quarter is where we were at.
00:52:01
So we would have had three if people did what they should
00:52:05
have, but we only ended up with 1.
00:52:06
So let's talk about this. If let's talk about this week
00:52:10
and who we got. We'll start with you Pruitt, who
00:52:13
do you see being a sleeper and their target for this week has
00:52:16
to be 35% or less owned in in our leagues and target of nine
00:52:23
points or more. So this is a very, very
00:52:25
difficult bar to get over here. 9 points or more, 35% or less
00:52:29
owned. Yep.
00:52:31
So the last two weeks Mason Taylor fits that bill.
00:52:35
I'm taking him again. It's a tougher matchup at
00:52:39
Denver, but like I said, The Jets are going to be behind most
00:52:44
games. They're going to be forced to
00:52:45
throw the ball and they've been finding him a lot.
00:52:50
He's their second most targeted guy behind Garrett Wilson so and
00:52:54
he's going to be matched up with Patrick Sir Tan this week.
00:52:57
So I like Taylor again, 5-6 catches.
00:53:01
I think he easily gets to 10 points.
00:53:05
Nice. How about you dex try on?
00:53:09
We just talked about him as a shrewd move running back.
00:53:12
But Haskins for the Chargers is really not owned at all.
00:53:16
I think 3%, but he's going to get the starting gig against a
00:53:20
terrible Miami defense. Just gave up to 100 yards to
00:53:23
Rico Dowdle. Now, I don't think he's going to
00:53:25
get 200 yards. He's not as good and frankly,
00:53:28
the line is really bad for the charges right now.
00:53:31
But if Joe Alt comes back, that would help.
00:53:33
But regardless, Haskins should get the lion's share and if he
00:53:35
pops his head in the end zone once again, Miami not going to
00:53:39
stop them very often. I think that's a good bet for
00:53:42
this week to get over 9 point threshold that looking at this
00:53:46
week. So San Haskins Chargers running
00:53:48
back, how about you? Which is who we got.
00:53:50
Well, I am going to a battle of the game that you don't want to
00:53:55
watch. We're gonna have the Titans
00:53:57
playing the Raiders. So woo.
00:54:01
What's the popcorn going? To be sold for that one.
00:54:03
Riveting. Competition there, right?
00:54:06
But at least it's in Vegas, so you go gamble afterwards.
00:54:09
So that's right. Hopefully if you're there,
00:54:12
you're going to pick up 1 Elik IO Manor.
00:54:17
Not because not because he is incredible, but because I think
00:54:22
the Titans are going to be energized after that game that
00:54:25
they should not have won the 1st, the first win for Cam Ward,
00:54:30
I think he's going to be get a little more spring in a step.
00:54:32
He's going to feel a little more excited.
00:54:35
The Raiders, on the other hand, have had a really rough go and I
00:54:39
feel like they they just got pasted by the Colts.
00:54:44
So I think they're going to be on a low and I think I am an org
00:54:48
gets a touchdown. So that's where I'm going with
00:54:51
Alec. I am an org.
00:54:53
Let's do it. All right, so we got Mason
00:54:55
Taylor, Hassan Haskins and Alec Iomanner for our Shrewder
00:54:59
sleeper sleeper, sleepers sleeper.
00:55:01
All right. You want to take us through the
00:55:03
spuds? Yeah, let's start with the spuds
00:55:07
for Week 6. Our threshold this week is at
00:55:12
least 95% owned and target points is 10.
00:55:17
So we're thinking that the following players here are going
00:55:20
to get less than 10 points this week.
00:55:23
Last week we had Jordan Mason who was not great, but he did
00:55:28
flop in the end zone so he ended up at 12.2.
00:55:32
We, you know, an amazing 3 yard run to score a touchdown.
00:55:37
OK, whatever. A.J.
00:55:39
Brown. But anything against Cleveland's
00:55:40
a good run. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
00:55:44
A.J. Brown did hit we we had, you
00:55:49
know, 10 point threshold and he only had 9.3.
00:55:52
So Dex was right that Pat Stratan would would shut him
00:55:56
down and or Jalen Hurts would shut him down by not throwing
00:56:01
him the ball. They actually passed a lot last
00:56:04
week though. Right, they did and.
00:56:07
They gave Saquon 8 carries because they're passing so much.
00:56:11
That's right, it throw to Saquon.
00:56:12
Takes so much sets. And then T Higgins, Stover
00:56:16
Higgins and that was again he had a touchdown.
00:56:20
So that you know that elevates your your game pretty quickly
00:56:23
when one play can get you 7 plus points but. 22 nine yeah. 322
00:56:31
nine for the year. Yeah, Chism O for. 5 on the
00:56:34
right album, although I'm super happy that this guy didn't
00:56:38
double the total that we were aiming for, which most of my
00:56:41
picks do, so I'm trending in the right direction is what I'm
00:56:44
hoping. Yeah, so for this week.
00:56:47
Touchdown score for his buds. You're winning a lot of money.
00:56:50
You're golden. Every single 1/5 for five.
00:56:54
Every one touchdown scores. That's just yeah.
00:56:57
Take it to the bank. Could use this as a spud or any
00:57:00
time to alternate the inter time touchdown score.
00:57:04
Have to change the name of this segment for.
00:57:05
One of taking the next one, yeah.
00:57:08
And we're. 27% on this as well 27.
00:57:11
Percent, we've also, yeah, we've hit 4, four out of 15.
00:57:18
We really need to be around 5 would get us there.
00:57:21
But anyway, if we hit a couple this week, we'll be back on
00:57:24
pace. I'm going to start us off.
00:57:28
Baltimore is really struggling lately without Lamar Jackson in
00:57:33
there. I think Derrick Henry is going
00:57:36
to continue to struggle and they play a pretty solid Rams team
00:57:41
this week. Like we've talked about it,
00:57:44
Derrick Henry doesn't get a lot of targets, so it's really hard
00:57:47
for him to rack up PPR points. And I just don't see him.
00:57:52
Even if he scores the touchdown, he only may only get 30-40
00:57:57
yards. So it's going to be really tough
00:58:00
to get over 10 points for him, for him this week, I think.
00:58:04
Dex, what do you think this week?
00:58:06
So I'm going to go back to the well of just beating on normally
00:58:10
I beat on Billy this week. I'm going to go back to beating
00:58:13
on a Cincinnati player. So Chase Brown is averaging 2.46
00:58:18
yards per carry and he's going to Lambeau where they have the
00:58:23
second ranked rush defense only allowing 77 yards a game.
00:58:28
You're not going to run on them. So I think Chase Brown, he could
00:58:31
just get enough dump offs like he did last week, 7 catches for
00:58:35
20 yards. But I know none of them are
00:58:37
going to come from rushing. So when he gets his 20 yards
00:58:40
rushing, it's just however many catches he gets.
00:58:43
And that's not something to bank on when you realize it might be
00:58:46
Joe Flacco, it could be Jake Browning and they got Micah.
00:58:50
So Michael Parsons might just, you know, decide to cover Chase
00:58:54
Brown on some slam passes. I just don't see a lot
00:58:57
happening. I don't think he's getting in
00:58:58
the end zone at all. And I don't think he's going to
00:59:00
get that many catches. I think he gets shut down.
00:59:03
South. Chase Brown is my spud at Green
00:59:05
Bay this week. Well, here's your anytime
00:59:07
touchdown score that I'm giving out for free.
00:59:10
I do not believe in Sam Laporta the door and he's going to
00:59:14
Kansas City, and I think the linebacking crew in Kansas City
00:59:18
is pretty darn good. So I'm going to say they're
00:59:20
going to shut him down and everybody else is going to be
00:59:23
getting fed and he's not going to get much.
00:59:25
So I don't think LaPorte is going to do much this week
00:59:28
against that Kansas City linebacking core.
00:59:30
He's my spud. Less than 10 points.
00:59:33
All right, so we had Derrick Henry, Chase Brown in LaPorte.
00:59:36
All right, gambling picks Chez, you want to take us to the
00:59:41
gambit? This were red hot.
00:59:42
I will tell you guys, we're red hot on this.
00:59:44
We are. This is documented on our
00:59:46
website. So don't just, you know, take my
00:59:50
word for it. But we're hitting 73%, which is
00:59:53
really ridiculous despite my pics.
00:59:55
And I thought, I thought for sure, yeah, knock on wood, I
00:59:58
thought for sure we were going to come back to earth last week.
01:00:02
But we got some bad luck. Tennessee, Arizona.
01:00:05
We had the under 41 1/2. If you saw that game, you saw
01:00:10
that game exactly. Very easily could have hit the
01:00:12
under and craziness ensued in Arizona collapse.
01:00:15
So we didn't. We did, however, hit Houston -2
01:00:18
1/2 at Baltimore, which Dex gave you, and Dex is a little bit of
01:00:23
a heater. I'm not going to say anything
01:00:24
else other than that. Just check the website.
01:00:25
And then I gave you Denver plus 3 1/2 at Philly.
01:00:30
I should have just given you the money line.
01:00:31
Dang it. And we we had a.
01:00:35
While until the end, thank God, Philly.
01:00:37
It looked in doubt first. Sure.
01:00:39
And like 17. Unanswered points, I think out
01:00:41
of Denver. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
01:00:44
So this week we are going to start off with Mr. Pruitt, who's
01:00:48
going to get back on on the horse and he is going to give
01:00:51
you a winner. Yeah, so I'm I'm going to go
01:00:55
ride the high of the Indianapolis Colts.
01:00:58
They have been torching bad teams.
01:01:01
I think Arizona qualifies as a bad team after their collapse
01:01:05
this week. I think they're going to be kind
01:01:07
of bottoming out in there, you know, new low on on team morale
01:01:12
and so forth. I think Indianapolis comes in
01:01:14
and continues to roll. And Jonathan Taylor rolls for
01:01:18
120 yards and Daniel Jones proves that he's still playing
01:01:24
in the NFL. So I think the Colts roll easily
01:01:28
over the Arizona Cardinals this week.
01:01:31
They're favored by 6 1/2, right? I like it, yeah.
01:01:35
Hopefully Arizona doesn't get like a team meeting players only
01:01:39
meeting in rally and decide to be good.
01:01:41
But I think given the fact that Kyler Murray may be playing on a
01:01:44
banged up ankle and they're running on their third and 4th,
01:01:46
running backs should be. Good, that's the other.
01:01:49
They got a lot of things trained in their.
01:01:50
Direction, I think that's the other thing is Arizona's really
01:01:54
struggling on running backs and a banged up quarterback.
01:01:57
So I just don't think they can keep pace for sure.
01:02:01
And they cannot feel good at all right now.
01:02:05
Yep, Yep. Yep, he's going to be 1 or the
01:02:06
other. He's going to bury him or rally
01:02:08
him. All right.
01:02:09
Cheers. Who do you got?
01:02:10
Well, I think that San Francisco keeps winning, and I don't know
01:02:14
how they keep winning, so I'm going to run to the Magic.
01:02:16
I have no idea. Like how this happens.
01:02:19
They're playing at Tampa. So I mean, clearly Tampa should
01:02:23
roll them because Tampa is really good, right?
01:02:28
Tampa's the man. They're the ones.
01:02:30
No, this is when the Baker Mayfield cycle continues, in my
01:02:34
opinion. So Bakers got everyone high on
01:02:37
him. Now everyone's drinking the
01:02:38
kool-aid. San Francisco doesn't have
01:02:41
anyone. How could they win this game?
01:02:43
They couldn't. So I'm taking San Francisco plus
01:02:46
3. Lock it up.
01:02:51
What do you? Got.
01:02:52
All. Right, I know and we got a lot
01:02:54
of bold moves. This smells like an O and
01:02:56
three-week, but I feel like, right, we might just surprise
01:02:59
again. So it's another stinky 1.
01:03:01
So New England just beat Buffalo.
01:03:04
They are taking over the AFC East.
01:03:06
They have dethroned the beast and they're heading down to New
01:03:09
Orleans. Lowly ass New Orleans.
01:03:12
He's only beaten one team this season, the lower lower earlier
01:03:18
it's. Lower.
01:03:18
Lower. Lower.
01:03:21
Rat. So that's really bad.
01:03:25
I am going to take. Is a phoenix.
01:03:27
The New Orleans plus 3 1/2 home against New England.
01:03:32
But like, I think New England's going to be riding a high, which
01:03:36
I've seen so many times. It's just you, you just have a
01:03:41
let down game afterwards and they're going to go and look at
01:03:44
this one in four New Orleans team with Spencer Radler and an
01:03:48
old crusty Camaro with just dreadlocks and you got Juwan
01:03:52
Johnson, their leading receiver. They're just going to look right
01:03:55
on past them and it's hard to win in New Orleans.
01:03:58
I've been there, I've seen it. It's a tough stadium to win and
01:04:00
it's loud. They can't even build a stadium
01:04:03
like that anymore. It's too steep and weird and I
01:04:05
feel like I was going to fall off the top deck onto the field
01:04:08
is so steep. But it's a good home field
01:04:10
advantage and I think they keep it close.
01:04:13
I'm not telling you New Orleans going to win, but plus 3 1/2.
01:04:17
I think they keep it within a field goal baby.
01:04:19
So I think New Orleans plus 3 1/2 at home versus the New
01:04:22
England Patriots. That is my.
01:04:24
Pick it up, go by yacht. I like it.
01:04:27
We got Indy. -6 and. 1/2 we got New Orleans plus 3 1/2 and San
01:04:30
Fran. Plus cotton.
01:04:32
Woo. And so let's see what we can do.
01:04:36
Like I said, we're hitting 73% on the season.
01:04:38
Let's see if we can keep that rolling into another week.
01:04:42
All right gents, I think that is a wrap unless you got anything
01:04:45
else, any bonus topics, alibis before we sign off?
01:04:48
No, just. Keep your head, Keep your heads,
01:04:50
folks. Keep your heads because this is
01:04:52
a really tough, difficult time. The season headed into bye
01:04:55
weeks. You could do it.
01:04:57
Make the shrewd moves. Listen to us.
01:05:01
I think most of the time I'm going to give you a better
01:05:05
chance to survive. Shout out shout out to my boss
01:05:09
Brett that participated in the league this year.
01:05:13
He had CD Lamb go down. Thanks Brett.
01:05:16
CD Lamb went down. He had a season worst
01:05:19
performance out of James Cook. He took a 0 from Zach Ertz just
01:05:23
a lot of bad things happened this week.
01:05:25
Probably didn't deserve to get cut, but that's the way Guillo
01:05:29
rolls sometimes so. It anyway.
01:05:32
Absolutely. All right, well, that's going to
01:05:36
wrap it up. Until next week, folks, keep
01:05:39
your heads and stay shrewd.
