Recapping Week 7 and looking ahead to Week 8
00:00:20
What's up, shrewdness? It is time for us to talk about
00:00:26
the week that was in Guillotine Fantasy and the NFL and to
00:00:30
update you all on very, very important things like the loss
00:00:36
of another head amongst the shrewdness wise men.
00:00:41
Believe it or not, we are in week 7 or through week 7.
00:00:46
Two of us have lost our heads already and of all the people
00:00:49
who haven't, I'm the one, the one with the big head who has
00:00:53
not lost his head. So Peru unfortunately went down
00:00:57
some unfortunate luck this week, which we'll talk about.
00:01:00
We're going to cover some guys who helped you win.
00:01:04
Unfortunate it's one way to put it.
00:01:07
Unfortunate, unfortunate luck, which we're going to.
00:01:10
We'll have the interview, the first ever interview with Pruitt
00:01:14
post his beheading. I know you've all been waiting
00:01:17
to see and hear from him on how it went down.
00:01:21
Well, we've got it live here on the Shroudness this week and
00:01:23
then we'll talk about what you need to do to not lose your head
00:01:27
coming in the coming weeks. This is by Mageddon by Mageddon.
00:01:33
It's there are how many teams on how many teams on by this week
00:01:38
next. We had six teams on by.
00:01:40
Yikes. We got Arizona, Detroit,
00:01:43
Jacksonville, Vegas, Rams, Seattle.
00:01:47
No good players on these teams. You're probably not going to
00:01:49
even notice so. We're going to talk about that
00:01:54
and then we're going to make our picks and make you some money.
00:01:58
And that's what we got up coming up this week on the shrewdness.
00:02:02
Good stuff. So let's start it off with our
00:02:06
Guillotine Graveyard segment starring Ryan Pruitt.
00:02:13
So I'll help lead us through. Pruitt has been doing pretty
00:02:18
well this season. He's had a couple close calls,
00:02:21
as will everybody as you go through a guillotine season.
00:02:25
But he was rocking over 100 points a week average, never
00:02:29
really in jeopardy of actually losing.
00:02:32
But even though a couple scares, but boy, this week is like Final
00:02:36
Destination. You could watch everything
00:02:38
happen, this guy and then that guy died.
00:02:42
And if you go in that or this guy is going to get snapped.
00:02:44
Oh, my gosh, it was awesome. So Prue, tell us about a little
00:02:50
bit of kind of what hurt you and who tried to save you and just
00:02:55
kind of what happened this week. All right, so we started out on
00:02:59
Thursday. Jalen Warren posted a really
00:03:03
good game, his best game of the year, and I thought, OK, I'm
00:03:06
set. My projected points is fourth
00:03:09
out of 11 teams, and I started out with the solid score from my
00:03:13
RB2 and he's done that RB one. Yeah.
00:03:18
So I'm like, all right, I'm sitting pretty.
00:03:21
I'm getting Kittle back this week, I'm getting Mike Evans
00:03:24
back this week. Waddle's got a tough match up.
00:03:28
Garrett Wilson's hurt, so he's not playing.
00:03:31
Flowers is on by. But where I really fell down was
00:03:35
my quarterback selection. I knew Puko Niku was out and
00:03:40
Stafford had just posted a nine last week and he had a tougher
00:03:45
match up than my other quarterback who was Caleb
00:03:50
Williams. Caleb the chopped Williams comes
00:03:53
in with his own blade for his owners.
00:03:55
Yeah, so early Sunday, I'm watching Stafford just throw
00:03:59
touchdown passes at will, and I could just see the writing on
00:04:03
the wall. I was like, OK, here comes, here
00:04:07
comes a big juicy turd from Caleb Williams.
00:04:09
And sure enough, he didn't run the ball.
00:04:13
He barely threw the ball because Chicago was running the ball at
00:04:16
will, just not him. So the four points from him
00:04:20
killed me. Stafford would have easily saved
00:04:23
me had I played him. So that quarterback situation
00:04:26
hurt bad. The other thing that just
00:04:28
absolutely sunk me was both of my returning guys who'd been
00:04:33
hurt since Week 2 with hamstring injuries, both posted zeros.
00:04:39
And one is. Just crazy.
00:04:41
Afterwards, Mike Evans comes back and not only breaks his
00:04:44
clavicle, but concusses himself on the way out.
00:04:46
So all reports are that Mike Evans is probably not coming
00:04:50
back this year, which is a big blow to that Tampa Bay offense
00:04:53
because they've also don't have Godwin.
00:04:56
Mecca came back at Buca so he played through a tough hamstring
00:04:59
but that's a big loss and Dogs team.
00:05:02
Ends Mike Evans's streak, right? Didn't he have a number of
00:05:07
seasons in a row with? Seven straight 1000 yards or
00:05:09
something like that. No Moss for.
00:05:12
Him, yeah, super, super tough luck for him.
00:05:15
Tough luck for me. I don't so.
00:05:18
The one I didn't understand was George Kittle.
00:05:20
Yeah, I think it was. They were having success finally
00:05:24
running the ball and I think Shanahan was like, we're not
00:05:27
changing the thing, just keep feeding the horse and Kittle can
00:05:32
block and that's what he did. And it's kind of weird seeing
00:05:35
that stat up there, too, with Kittle in the lineup, how much
00:05:39
better they are at running the ball.
00:05:41
I couldn't believe the difference is substantial, like
00:05:44
a couple yards more per run play.
00:05:47
Yeah, I didn't. Realize how much of A.
00:05:48
Difference is a helpful stat. I know he's AI mean he was a
00:05:52
blocking tight end 1st and he kind of developed into a
00:05:54
receiver kind of the opposite of Kelsey and other, you know,
00:05:58
other great tight ends I feel like are receivers first and
00:06:01
they learn how to block. But yeah, it'll kind of been
00:06:03
known for his blocking. But he has been a a more
00:06:06
offensive threat the last couple years.
00:06:09
I don't know anyway that that was a terrible week.
00:06:11
A lot of bad things happened all at once, which happens in a
00:06:15
team. What really sunk me though is
00:06:19
honestly, I had to use my FAB way too early.
00:06:23
I had, I had super bad injury problems early in the season,
00:06:27
right? Kittle goes down Week 1, Evans
00:06:29
goes down Week 2. Caitlin Warren was out for that
00:06:33
week. You know, big surprise on Sunday
00:06:36
morning that he didn't play that week.
00:06:38
You spent Fab on a running back that never played.
00:06:41
Trey Benson shows up on the IR when you get him.
00:06:44
Right after I got him. AJ McCarthy injured, slash
00:06:49
demoted, so I picked up Russell Wilson, who got immediately
00:06:53
demoted, so I started. Touch this year, Prue.
00:06:58
Out of seven weeks. This is crazy.
00:07:00
I mean, it's almost a miracle that I survived this long, to be
00:07:03
honest. I started 5 different
00:07:05
quarterbacks in the seven weeks. That is pretty tough to do.
00:07:08
So you, you are basically, you're basically the Cleveland
00:07:11
Browns. When you have Dijon, he can
00:07:14
cover up a lot of warts. And my 7 quarterback weeks were
00:07:18
either less than 10 points or greater than 20.
00:07:21
I had nothing in a normal range for a scoring quarterback.
00:07:25
Yeah, so that was it. I mean, that was that was
00:07:28
terrible. I did have Bijan Robinson, who
00:07:31
covers a lot of sins and I, I scrapped together A-Team to get
00:07:35
me through Week 5, which was the bye week for Bijan.
00:07:41
In Week 5 I started one of my original 8 starters because I
00:07:46
had so many injury problems and bye week problems so.
00:07:50
That's a. Great.
00:07:52
Yeah. So I was forced to spend a lot
00:07:54
of fab early and I picked up guys like Garrett Wilson, who
00:07:59
was fantastic the first 3 or 4 weeks.
00:08:02
And then he figured out that The Jets could do nothing else
00:08:05
except throw to him. So.
00:08:06
So he started getting targeted and got hurt.
00:08:09
I mean it just, it was comical after a while.
00:08:13
Yeah, it's not good. I didn't.
00:08:14
I didn't think I could win the league.
00:08:16
I did think I could probably stay around till the 8 or 10
00:08:19
week mark, but bad luck caught up to me and starting the wrong
00:08:23
quarterback was my downfall. It happens.
00:08:27
Welpa dog, welcome to the headless club.
00:08:30
Headless mumbies over here. It's what it is.
00:08:34
And what's funny is I was listening to a few other shows
00:08:36
and a lot of the hosts that did the guillotine leagues, they're
00:08:40
all out too. Made me feel a little bit
00:08:43
better. Just a little schadenfreude that
00:08:45
all the other hosts are knocked out of their own leagues too.
00:08:48
So. It's kind of hard what you know,
00:08:50
so much time on putting together a quality podcast that's.
00:08:54
Right. Well, and a little bad luck.
00:08:57
So here's I want to run through a few injuries and the last week
00:09:00
the one who. Benefited from the bad luck was
00:09:02
yours truly because it was probably it was in our league.
00:09:06
It was down to me and Peru and I definitely deserve the axe with
00:09:09
the team that I have that I'm throwing out there on the field
00:09:12
and I like. Don't worry, you're next week.
00:09:16
It's bad. It's bad.
00:09:17
Ladies and gentlemen, if I if I have my head this time next
00:09:20
week, then I may win the whole thing.
00:09:24
I'm not going to lie, I may win the whole thing.
00:09:26
Currently projected for I think 56 points with your starting
00:09:30
lineup at this moment. That's where we're starting
00:09:32
folks. So we'll see what kind of turd
00:09:34
we can Polish up. 20 points worse than my terrible score
00:09:38
from this week. Yes, that's right.
00:09:41
So a couple of the injuries that are striking other people as
00:09:44
well this week. So Mike Evans, we talked about
00:09:46
Jalen Waddle went out, but it doesn't look like he has an
00:09:49
injury designation this week. So he should be back in, I
00:09:51
guess. Weird.
00:09:53
Yeah, Nico Collins goes down and with a concussion, not sure
00:09:58
where he'll be. If you saw the replay mate,
00:10:00
Thunder punched his head. That was not good.
00:10:02
And then like a few plays later, CJ Strouded too, but he did not
00:10:05
have to go to the tent. Darren Waller went out with a
00:10:07
pectoral injury. Apparently he will not have to
00:10:10
have surgery, so he should only be a two week absence.
00:10:14
Jaden Daniels went down, kind of look like his legs snapped, but
00:10:17
then there was a right hamstring.
00:10:19
Yeah, he's just kind of Gumby. Like he's just super flexible
00:10:22
and. Yeah.
00:10:23
I mean, it feels like though, that this year the stuff
00:10:26
everyone was afraid of with Jayden Daniels is coming to
00:10:29
fruition. It is too small and he's going
00:10:32
to get injured like that's all happening this year.
00:10:35
He does look really like frail, he's just tiny.
00:10:38
Yeah, but last year he seemed to just be able to run around all.
00:10:42
He wasn't getting hit as much, it feels like.
00:10:44
But this year he's getting hit, so that's kind of short of it.
00:10:48
Michael Pinnix, Junior, he hurt his foot, so he may be
00:10:51
questionable this week. So we might have even more
00:10:54
backups coming in. Bryce Young, So Andy Dalton, the
00:10:57
the Red Rockets going to be coming in if Jaden Daniels
00:11:00
doesn't play well at Marcus Mariota, Rock Purdy looks like
00:11:03
he's going to miss another week. So another week of Matt Jones,
00:11:06
who's actually played well and then Phoenix going to be out
00:11:11
probably we'll see. I guess it's not out for sure.
00:11:13
But if he is man a nice flyer be Kurt Cousins cuz he's not hurt
00:11:17
this year and I bet he would come in and light it up.
00:11:20
Lamar Jackson. But with everybody in the
00:11:23
fantasy world thought after the bye week, they probably just
00:11:25
give him an extra week of rest. But as of the time of this
00:11:29
recording did not practice. He still hasn't practiced this
00:11:32
for like weeks. So I don't know if he's gonna be
00:11:34
playing this week. Might have another Cooper Rush
00:11:37
start, which is. Very exciting.
00:11:41
Yeah, just put up another L in the column for them.
00:11:44
So that would not be good. I think that's kind of our main
00:11:47
ones. Garrett Wilson, I'm not sure if
00:11:49
he's going to be out this week or not.
00:11:51
He's definitely nicked. And Josh Downs is the other one
00:11:55
that left the game. Not sure if he's back or not.
00:11:58
So we'll have to see how those injuries play out this week.
00:12:01
But it's with all the six teams on by now, you have to worry
00:12:04
about injuries as well. That's just where I'm at.
00:12:07
The season, folks. It's crazy.
00:12:09
A lot of starters. Oh, absolutely.
00:12:12
It's crazy. So that brings us to our next
00:12:15
segment. So survival strategy spotlights.
00:12:18
Yeah. I mean, depending on your
00:12:19
situation, you could be sitting with four starters out out of
00:12:25
like your 8 or 9, depending on what your league setup is.
00:12:28
And you may not have a quarterback if you had Goff, if
00:12:31
you have Murray, if you got Stafford Field, Arnold.
00:12:35
I mean, these are normal starters.
00:12:37
Yeah. And then if you had any of the
00:12:38
guys that got hurt, it's like, ah, don't worry, I got Jayden
00:12:40
Daniels. Like, oh, you had Jayden
00:12:42
Daniels. So what do you do this week in
00:12:45
Fab, especially we got more whiteouts join in the injury
00:12:48
list. What do we do on this?
00:12:50
Pruitt for the strategy for our owners to get through this
00:12:54
stuff. Like you got to get through, but
00:12:56
you got to save money. Hopefully you listen to our last
00:12:58
show when we were like start this week because next week
00:13:02
going to be, you know, a bloodbath.
00:13:04
Now we're into the bloodbath. Prices go up a lot of by trouble
00:13:08
this week. Lot of lot of players on each
00:13:12
team, right? I mean, McBride is really
00:13:14
probably the only Cardinal out there, maybe Harrison, maybe
00:13:18
Kyler Murray at some point. But the Lions being out, the
00:13:23
Rams being out, that's a lot of offensive players that have been
00:13:27
counted on these for seven weeks, right?
00:13:29
So hopefully you've planned ahead and at least have some
00:13:32
sort of backup they can fill in for some of your guys.
00:13:35
If not, you got to go high this week.
00:13:38
A lot of a lot of teams are going to be desperate if they've
00:13:40
got 234 players that are on by this week.
00:13:44
So prepare to up your bids a little bit more than normal
00:13:47
until you get through this week and even the next two.
00:13:50
You got 4, you know, four teams out each week coming up.
00:13:53
So yeah, like we talked about week 7 through 10 are over half
00:13:57
the teams are on by in those four weeks.
00:14:01
So plan early and and write big checks.
00:14:04
That's it. Because next week, like you
00:14:06
think you're getting through this week, like who?
00:14:07
I made it and then next week you got four more teams, which
00:14:11
thankfully doesn't take too many starters out.
00:14:14
If you're starting a lot of Cleveland and Jets guys, you're
00:14:17
already chopped. So that's kind of helpful.
00:14:20
But Philly and Tampa, even though I guess on that side of
00:14:23
the fence, Tampa just keeps losing everybody.
00:14:25
So there's no Bucky Irving, there's no Mike Evans, there's
00:14:28
no Godwin Ibuka came back from his hamstring.
00:14:31
Baker. Thankfully, Baker stole Baker
00:14:34
baking. Yep and then Philly it depends
00:14:37
on the week I guess. They, Jalen Hurts, A.J.
00:14:39
Brown and Devante Smith were relevant.
00:14:41
And ironically, once they were relevant, Dallas Goddard was not
00:14:45
like. Yeah.
00:14:46
The he was a total spud. I think he had one catch for or
00:14:50
three catches for 18 yards. So that's what you got to worry
00:14:52
about next week. But let's go do our Shrewdness
00:14:56
Sleeper sleeper sleepers to help people get through this week.
00:15:00
So I want to start off with Chisholm.
00:15:03
Who are you going to give for this week's shrewdness, Sleeper?
00:15:07
Well, you know, as someone who has hit 2 sleepers, which I
00:15:13
think is the record amongst us right now, so 2 sleepers, I'm
00:15:17
getting at a very high rate. You have two zeros too by by the
00:15:22
way. Well, I started one guy who
00:15:24
retired, so that's a problem. That one was not your best one.
00:15:30
That was not my best one, but you know, I'm, I'm relatively
00:15:33
red hot as far as we go. So I'm gonna I'm gonna go and
00:15:37
figure that Cleveland is not gonna allow anyone on New
00:15:41
England to run the ball. So I'm going to hope that they
00:15:44
throw the ball. And Mr. Keyshawn Bootay has had
00:15:49
quite a couple. Booty, booty booty weeks.
00:15:52
Right. He's kind of shaping up to be a
00:15:54
favorite. So I think I'm going to go with
00:15:57
Booty. I think he's going to touchdown.
00:15:59
I think he's going to get another touchdown this week.
00:16:01
There's some good, some good synergy there and I'm feeling
00:16:05
good about him. How about you guys?
00:16:07
What are you, what are you looking at, Mr. Peru?
00:16:10
I was looking back at my picks so far and out of this, out of
00:16:13
the 8 weeks now or counting, you know tonight's pick I've picked
00:16:18
5 tight ends. You love tight ends.
00:16:24
I did. So I picked Harold Bannon this
00:16:26
week. He got 7.6.
00:16:28
That's about the closest I've come without hitting since Week
00:16:31
1. So I'm feeling, I'm feeling like
00:16:34
better about my tight end picks here.
00:16:36
This week I picked another tight end, Janu Smith, Pittsburgh
00:16:41
tight end, They're playing Green Bay.
00:16:43
Aaron Rodgers suddenly decides he likes tight ends again.
00:16:48
Oh, he had a bunch of touchdown passes to tight ends this last
00:16:51
week, including Jenna Smith. He doesn't like being tackled by
00:16:55
his own team though. That's one thing he does not
00:16:57
like. That's right.
00:16:59
So they're, yeah, it's kind of a kind of a revenge game for Aaron
00:17:02
Rodgers. I think that he goes in there,
00:17:05
competes. I think maybe not a touchdown,
00:17:09
could be a lucky touchdown for Jenna Smith, but I think he'll
00:17:12
have 4-5 catches, maybe at least three for 30, which is I think
00:17:18
that's low end. So that's six points regardless.
00:17:21
And I think, you know, a couple of broken tackles or something
00:17:24
like that, he can get you up to 8 or 9 points.
00:17:26
So and he's only taken in like 10% of leagues or something.
00:17:30
So he's available. Yeah, for good reason.
00:17:32
But we'll see what? He does this week.
00:17:36
All right, so I am going to Chicago and Kyle Manon Guy
00:17:42
Manomina that that that it's at Baltimore.
00:17:46
They have their 20 ranked rush defense.
00:17:48
And I just think that Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears
00:17:52
are trying to recreate the Detroit Lions offense slowly but
00:17:55
surely. And Manon guy will be the
00:17:58
knuckles and the David Montgomery.
00:18:01
They got Swift, who's Gibbs, right?
00:18:04
That's what they're trying to do, and all season they've been.
00:18:09
Stretched. It's it is obviously, obviously.
00:18:12
And Caleb Williams is? They they finally let they
00:18:16
finally let Monongai loose last week.
00:18:18
So we had 13 carries for 81 yards.
00:18:21
He got in the end zone. He had two catches for 13.
00:18:25
And he's getting a softer match up this week at Baltimore.
00:18:29
So I think he's going to be a solid bet as long as it wasn't
00:18:33
just a mirage. And I don't think it was because
00:18:35
the whole thing they've been talking about wanting to use him
00:18:37
more and more, he's just been kind of hurt and nicked up and
00:18:40
they had their bye week. So I think we're at the spot
00:18:42
where he might start getting regular usage.
00:18:45
And if that is the case, he's going to get the goal line
00:18:48
carries usually because he's, as we talked about in our rookie
00:18:51
preview, he doesn't fumble. So you just don't fumble.
00:18:53
He didn't fumble all at college. Do is solid with the ball.
00:18:57
He's got the confidence of the coach and the team.
00:18:59
Kyle Manon guy at Baltimore is my sleeper, sleeper of the week.
00:19:04
So refresh on her sleepers. So if you need some people for
00:19:07
this week, Keshon Booty, John U Smith and Kyle Manon guy, see,
00:19:12
we think could have some pretty good weeks is with the matchups
00:19:15
they got and how they're being used recently.
00:19:18
All right. Should be available in your
00:19:20
league. And they should be available.
00:19:21
That's the the main thing is, are they?
00:19:23
The guy who's close that we mentioned that we made a note of
00:19:26
was if if you could get him, Kate Auten's not a bad option.
00:19:31
He because all of the Buccaneers are hurt except Kate Auten.
00:19:35
So he's widely becoming wide receiver slash tight end one for
00:19:40
Baker Mayfield. And he's still he's still less
00:19:44
than half of the leagues have him.
00:19:46
I had him earlier this year and he was persona non grata.
00:19:48
But by process of elimination, I think you can count on him now.
00:19:53
That's right, there's no one left.
00:19:55
They finally got to the point where like, well, I guess I got
00:19:57
throw to Kate. I'll throw to Kate.
00:19:59
I guess he's technically eligible.
00:20:03
Yeah. Speaking of, let's go to our
00:20:04
next segment. So waiver wire and fab
00:20:07
priorities again, these are going to come be just more.
00:20:10
Here's some darts you can throw at the dart board that can maybe
00:20:14
save you if you got to plug in some holes from all these buys
00:20:17
and injuries. Here's who we think we can do.
00:20:19
So Chisholm, why don't you go ahead and start us up a little
00:20:21
bit on these guys and some people to talk about?
00:20:25
And if you look at the quarterback spot now,
00:20:29
quarterback's weird position now because it got a lot of buys,
00:20:31
got a lot of people hurt, got some people benched.
00:20:34
So you're getting some guys that have have some play now that you
00:20:37
maybe wouldn't think of before. One of which is Marcus Mariota,
00:20:42
who is likely to get the start this week.
00:20:44
Well, he will get start unless something happens in practice.
00:20:46
Marcus Mariota is going to get start for the Washington Red
00:20:50
Commanders. Commanders, the Red Manders.
00:20:54
The Red Manders this week, you've got good option, believe
00:20:58
it or not, in Spencer Rattler. Who Pru in the Patreon section
00:21:03
was talking about how consistent actually Spencer Rattler had
00:21:07
been. Pru, didn't you say he's he's
00:21:09
averaging over like he's double digits, right?
00:21:12
Double digit points every week. He's amazing because they're
00:21:16
throwing a. Lot better than I mean Matt
00:21:18
Stafford's had some better weeks, but he's also had a dud
00:21:21
or two in there below 10 points. So that's.
00:21:23
Right. And I think that's the problem
00:21:24
with a lot of the QBs. Yep, and Spencer Radler this
00:21:29
week is going against Tampa and you can't run against Tampa.
00:21:32
They they stuff the run all the time.
00:21:35
So Spencer Radler could be a nice just throw a dart and plug
00:21:38
them in and hope for the 10 points again because he's done
00:21:40
it every week and he runs enough to get a couple more points.
00:21:43
So Spencer Rattler not too bad. Who else you got there?
00:21:45
Cheers. Red Rifle or the Red Rocket
00:21:48
another good option for you. Whichever 1 you prefer versus
00:21:51
Buffalo. Buffalo's defense ain't the
00:21:54
greatest thing in the world, so him stepping in is a really good
00:21:59
option. I think if you're getting a
00:22:00
little deeper, you know Jackson Dart has been on an upward
00:22:05
trajectory, so you might get excited about Jackson Dart.
00:22:08
Only problem is he's playing Philly.
00:22:11
Pretty darn good defense. It's going to work well.
00:22:13
Last time couple weeks ago. It worked well last time and
00:22:16
and. He did fall.
00:22:18
Off right. So he's he did have a good game
00:22:21
against them. And then the last guy on the
00:22:23
quarterback front you probably want to look at is good old
00:22:26
Carson Wentz. Dude can still Chuck it.
00:22:28
And when he doesn't turn the ball over, he he puts up good
00:22:31
yardage and usually at least a tutty.
00:22:34
And they're playing against the Chargers this week, who have
00:22:38
kind of regressed pretty significantly in recent weeks.
00:22:42
So all those good quarterback options from a running back
00:22:44
standpoint, we mentioned one of them decks already mentioned,
00:22:48
Manangi, Manangi, Manangu, Meningi, Meningi, his good
00:22:52
option, whatever his name is, he's running the ball out right
00:22:57
now. So we think it's going to
00:22:59
continue. Richard Smith, a guy that the
00:23:02
Chiefs drafted late and have talked about as a guy they want
00:23:05
to utilize more. They actually did utilize more
00:23:07
this last week. He's going against Washington.
00:23:09
That game could get ugly. And if so, he's probably going
00:23:12
to get more touches like he did this week.
00:23:15
Yeah, he got a ton of trash time carriers this week.
00:23:18
But The thing is he got a lot of them in the first half when it
00:23:21
was not a blowout yet. So I like the fact that they
00:23:24
were using it more. And when you look at it again,
00:23:27
he just has more juice. I mean, it's not hard to get
00:23:29
more juice than Cream Hunt. He's old.
00:23:31
And he's battling Horn. But in Isaiah, Pacheco and Chism
00:23:35
and I were talking about this beforehand as well.
00:23:38
We had high hopes that Pacheco would come back and look more
00:23:41
like the two years ago version and not the broken version last
00:23:44
year when he broke his leg. I don't know.
00:23:47
Pacheco does not seem to be. I don't know what's up, but all
00:23:52
I know is Prashart Smith looks more explosive when he gets the
00:23:55
opportunities and he's getting more snap share and Pacheco's
00:23:58
getting less and Kareem Hunt's getting less.
00:24:01
So for weeks, Prashart Smith 3 catches, 3 catches, 3 catches, 5
00:24:05
catches. Yeah, yeah.
00:24:07
I mean, he looks like those catches are super valuable.
00:24:09
Way younger. Yep.
00:24:11
Catch Survival Who else you got in the running back position
00:24:15
next? Yeah, So there's two other ones
00:24:17
I like. 1 is Isaiah Davis at Cincinnati.
00:24:22
If you've been watching any of The Jets, they're they.
00:24:25
Suck. They can't.
00:24:26
Complete passes and now they have no one to throw to, and it
00:24:29
might be Tyrod Taylor and he can throw a little bit.
00:24:32
I guess they might still go with Fields.
00:24:34
We only know who's going to be the quarterback yet this week.
00:24:36
But we do know Cincinnati's defense blows and they can't
00:24:39
stop the run. They can't really stop the pass
00:24:42
either, but they really can't stop the run.
00:24:43
So I think they're probably just going to run a lot.
00:24:45
If I'm Aaron Glenn, screw it, I'm going to run Breece Hall,
00:24:49
Isaiah Davis and my quarterback and just see what happens.
00:24:52
Keep this scoring low and keep Flacco off the field, Jamar
00:24:54
Chase off the field and really try and run the time.
00:24:57
So I think Isaiah Davis could be good against that defense.
00:25:00
And then one of another rookie, so Devin Neil down in New
00:25:04
Orleans because Kendra Miller, I think he's out for the year now.
00:25:08
So that guy backing up Kamara, I said they're probably not going
00:25:11
to be able to run real well, but Devin Neil and Kamara both are
00:25:15
pretty good out of the backfield catching passes.
00:25:18
So Devin Neil could be someone to throw in again.
00:25:20
You got throw some darts. We got this many buys injuries,
00:25:24
he's got plug people in. Those are two more people that
00:25:26
at least just take a look at and see how they're looking in
00:25:28
practice this week. Make sure no one gets hurt.
00:25:30
But they could be good guys, wide receivers, Pruitt.
00:25:34
You got anyone that our listeners need to look at this
00:25:36
week? Yeah, I like Xavier Leggett
00:25:39
versus Buffalo. Carolina's got a change in
00:25:43
quarterback that proved to be kind of a a good thing last year
00:25:47
when when Dalton came in for a couple games, it seemed to kind
00:25:49
of refresh him. And Leget's had, yeah, several
00:25:52
good games here recently, kind of looking more like what we
00:25:56
were hoping for last year. I think honestly, yeah, Marvin
00:25:59
Mims, Dallas has been kind of a sieve on the back end of their
00:26:03
defense. So Mims has some chances for a
00:26:07
big player, too. This week, Jalen Coker versus
00:26:10
Buffalo, same. Like just said, not a great
00:26:14
defense that Buffalo's putting up this year.
00:26:16
So he's got some some potential maybe.
00:26:19
We'd like to think that Buffalo is probably going to be ahead
00:26:21
too. And so the Red Rockies is going
00:26:24
to have to be throwing the ball a lot.
00:26:25
And Jalen Coker, he was really trending upwards.
00:26:29
If you remember back at the beginning of the season on the
00:26:31
draft boards because they they traded Adam Thielen to let Coker
00:26:34
play. He was killing it in preseason,
00:26:37
He's getting open all the time and he's going to be that slot
00:26:40
guy, move the chains guy. He's going to be the Alman Ross
00:26:43
St. Brown for this Carolina team.
00:26:45
And then he got hurt, so he's been out in his first game back
00:26:48
was last week. But I think Jalen Coker could be
00:26:51
a nice looking player moving forward.
00:26:53
Yep, Jalen Noel versus San Francisco this week.
00:26:58
With Nico Collins being out, that might be a a decent
00:27:01
opportunity for him to step in and get some targets.
00:27:04
Because Jaden Higgins has been terrible.
00:27:06
Like he hasn't been doing anything.
00:27:08
Yeah. So.
00:27:08
They got. Both the rookies out of Iowa
00:27:11
State, the teammates that we talked about in our rookie
00:27:14
previews, but Noel looks pretty good.
00:27:17
The final two we had on our list Alec Pierce versus Tennessee.
00:27:21
So why not for Indianapolis? They got a fairly easy match up
00:27:27
this week with Tennessee for him to get a few catches and then
00:27:31
Tez Johnson against New Orleans, he stepped up with all the wide
00:27:36
receiver injuries that Tampa Bay's had.
00:27:38
Tez Johnson and Sterling Shepard are really the only two guys
00:27:41
that have left. They're catch passes and then
00:27:45
straight into tight ends. Kate Auten is our our first
00:27:48
tight end on our list so that Tampa Bay receiving core is
00:27:52
taking a beating. So you got to look a little
00:27:54
deeper at who can catch passes for Baker because he's he's
00:27:58
continuing to put up great numbers this year despite having
00:28:01
a revolving door on his wide receiver room.
00:28:04
It is. He just throws the open guy
00:28:05
though. It's what's kind of nice.
00:28:06
So as long as they run the route and get open, Baker's been
00:28:09
hitting them. Who else you got a tight end
00:28:12
dex? Yeah, one of the other ones that
00:28:14
stood out last week, so Arande Gatson.
00:28:16
So Chargers tied in. They're playing a game Thursday
00:28:19
against Minnesota, but last week, like you might have missed
00:28:23
this because not many people are starting them, but seven for 164
00:28:26
and a touchdown for Gatson last week.
00:28:28
That's crazy. I I had to double check that
00:28:31
stat line, but like, yeah, that was it.
00:28:33
That was it. So he's someone to look at Evan
00:28:36
Ingram for the Broncos. He's gets a tasty matchup
00:28:39
against Dallas. So that would be a nice one.
00:28:42
And the Dolph was. Doing his own Antonio Gates in
00:28:45
person. I, I turned it for a second.
00:28:47
I was like, is that Antonio Gates?
00:28:49
Wait, it's a Ronde Gatson? Yep, the second, not the first,
00:28:55
the OG is not playing. Then Dalton Schultz.
00:28:58
So tight end for Houston, he's playing against San Francisco
00:29:02
and again, like we said, same thing with Tampa that are losing
00:29:05
all their white outs and so the tight ends are getting more
00:29:07
involved. Dalton Schultz is not a bad
00:29:09
tight end at all and he's someone they can definitely move
00:29:12
the chains and get targets in that offense.
00:29:14
So those are kind of our guys to look at to help you get through
00:29:17
by Mageddon and injury, Mageddon and everything else.
00:29:22
Armageddon, yes. So we're going to head in and
00:29:25
talk about past week studs and duds.
00:29:28
Oh, some of our sinners and Saints that saved you and
00:29:31
chopped you. And we're not going to go
00:29:33
through too many. We're just going to hit the kind
00:29:34
of big ones. So let's just talk about Bo
00:29:37
Nicks in the only quarter he decided to play last week was
00:29:42
unbelievable. He finished with 279 yards and
00:29:47
two touchdowns. Like, oh, that's not bad, but he
00:29:50
also had 48 yards and rushed in two more touchdowns and I think
00:29:54
he got a 2 point conversion in there too.
00:29:55
They ran in. So Bo Nicks was the top scorer
00:29:59
in fantasy last week Is humongous.
00:30:03
Yeah. CMC who hooked you up?
00:30:04
In one quarter basically. Yeah, I know.
00:30:07
That's the most amazing thing. Is that what the Broncos did in
00:30:10
one quarter against the Giants, which unbelievable.
00:30:13
I mean, you have the heartbroken if you're a Giants fan, not as
00:30:15
much as a Mariners fan right now, but pretty close.
00:30:17
Pretty close. CMC finally ran the ball and
00:30:22
like we talked about earlier, maybe it's George Kittle just a
00:30:26
by himself making some blocks, which then makes those other
00:30:29
guys feel kind of sheepish, like, oh, I was supposed to be
00:30:32
blocking this whole time, my bad CMC.
00:30:36
But he broke out for 129, rushed 2 touchdowns and then as always,
00:30:41
and then we talked about every week, 7 catches for 72 more
00:30:45
yards. For CMC it's just a wide outline
00:30:48
every week, but then you also get the rush week.
00:30:51
Every week it's. It's ridiculous.
00:30:54
And then not to be outdone, Jamar Gibbs says hold my beer,
00:30:58
CMC. How about 17 for 136 and two
00:31:01
touchdowns and three for 82? Someone's better and got up
00:31:07
there maybe 4 or less catches, but yeah, you got more yards and
00:31:11
got the same touchdown. So that was pretty good.
00:31:14
Jamar Chase. Maybe we wrote the upper half a
00:31:16
little too soon for him, but we also didn't know Joe Flacco
00:31:20
would get rid of the ball in like 2 seconds and be 10 times
00:31:23
better than Browning. 10 times better than Browning.
00:31:27
So he has made Jamar Chase back to #1 Everybody that took him
00:31:31
first overall is like haha I might have gotten my chance at
00:31:35
Jamar Jamar Chase twice because he got cut, but if you have them
00:31:39
now you should feel pretty good. SO16 catches for 161 yards in a
00:31:44
touchdown. And and in case you're
00:31:46
wondering, that's 23 targets. 20. 3 targets that's.
00:31:56
Crazy town. I mean, T Higgins is still
00:31:58
getting the ball too, so it's. He got 10 targets.
00:32:01
T Higgins got 10 targets. I know I'm like, he just
00:32:04
throwing the rock all over the place.
00:32:06
Joe Flacco looks like he's he's making that 40 be the new 30 or
00:32:09
something. I don't even know what he's
00:32:10
doing, but it's crazy. And then so funny.
00:32:13
So Jamar Chase had 16 catches on the Taylor had 16 rushes.
00:32:19
That's just funny all by itself. Same amount of touches there. 16
00:32:23
for 94 with another hat trick. I think that's his.
00:32:27
Is that the third game? He's had three touchdowns this
00:32:29
year. If.
00:32:30
Not what it was definitely 2, but then he had three catches of
00:32:33
38. So JT, another phenomenal game.
00:32:37
And we already talked about Gatson.
00:32:39
Trey McBride, though, and we talked about this at the
00:32:41
beginning of the year. If he could just find the end
00:32:43
zone ever, he's going to be elite.
00:32:46
Well, golly Gee, he is finding the end zone.
00:32:49
So two more touchdowns, 10 catches for 74.
00:32:52
Trey McBride carried the laundry for you.
00:32:54
It was good. And then Devante Smith, What?
00:32:59
Where's he been all season, you may ask?
00:33:00
Every now and then cry on your slip, Reaper.
00:33:04
Yeah, Slip Reaper breaks out and they found Waldo and he had 9
00:33:09
catches for 183 yards and a touchdown.
00:33:12
I mean sometimes you just need the Vikings D to show up and get
00:33:16
everybody back on track. So thanks Vikings D love you.
00:33:21
A.J. Brown also had a good game.
00:33:22
That's our main ones for the Saints.
00:33:24
Do you guys have anyone else you want to highlight for like the
00:33:28
Pure Saviors from last week? Baby Bride was my personal
00:33:32
savior. He.
00:33:33
Which one? He was bride.
00:33:35
He was actually my personal savior.
00:33:37
I actually got the benefit from him in the first person this
00:33:42
this week. And you know, he really is an
00:33:45
incredible talent. And it seems like he gets
00:33:48
targeted more in the end zone by the backup quarterback.
00:33:53
So that is, you know, so how would you stop?
00:33:58
When you go all the way down the field with them, let's not throw
00:34:00
them in the end zone though. He's suddenly not watching when.
00:34:04
Kyler comes back like is, is he going to drop off?
00:34:07
Is he not? But enjoying it right now for
00:34:10
sure. I don't know, Prue.
00:34:12
You had somebody you were going to talk about.
00:34:14
Yeah, third, Ferguson has been my savior all year.
00:34:18
Yeah, with Kittle out, I had to pick up a new tight end Week 1
00:34:23
and we drafted one being Kittle. Yeah, and And so I picked up.
00:34:30
I can't even, you know, it's real.
00:34:32
Name. I think it's Jason.
00:34:34
No, Jake, no, it's. It's turn.
00:34:36
Jake. His actual.
00:34:37
Name on his birth certificate is third, third.
00:34:40
Fergus T Effing Higgins, Turd Ferguson.
00:34:43
He's on a tear right now as far as targets, receptions,
00:34:48
touchdowns. I think he's the top tight end
00:34:51
for touchdowns. Jake Ferguson, one more than
00:34:53
doubtless Goddard and Waller Ertz, McBride and about five
00:34:57
others all have 4. But Jake Ferguson's been my
00:35:01
savior all year. 51 catches. Yeah, if we go through Jake
00:35:06
Ferguson, that's that's a great one to hit on Prue.
00:35:09
So top five finishes in seven weeks, he has five of them.
00:35:14
So he, his Week 1 was 22nd, then he was third, third, fifth,
00:35:21
second month in Week 6, and then fourth again last week.
00:35:25
He has been incredible. It's not even close.
00:35:27
He's #1 all by himself. And it probably helps that Brock
00:35:31
Bauer's been hurt this entire time.
00:35:33
But Jake Ferguson on that offense, Zach Prescott's just
00:35:37
feeding them. And yeah, you could say CD Lamb
00:35:39
was out for a few of those. Sure, CD Lamb was back last week
00:35:43
and he was 4th and Pickens. So even when they were all there
00:35:46
and healthy, Jake Ferguson does another top five performance.
00:35:50
So he's arguably tied in one, right?
00:35:53
He's already had two two games with two touchdowns.
00:35:57
Yeah, right. And just, he's just moving the
00:36:01
chains all the way down the field.
00:36:02
So he's pretty good and all right you mentioned.
00:36:04
You mentioned another one, Dex, that the last one I'll throw in
00:36:08
is you know, George Pickens. He didn't he didn't find the end
00:36:12
zone this week. But if you managed to pick up
00:36:15
Pickens, he's been a revelation most weeks.
00:36:18
And yeah, you know, maybe the best free agent signing of the
00:36:23
offseason, honestly, when you look at at what he's done in his
00:36:26
body of work, so. It's definitely not.
00:36:28
The worst helped out a lot, right?
00:36:30
Yeah, that offense has made everybody look good.
00:36:32
To include Javonte Williams, who had another good week.
00:36:35
He bounced back this week, too. But yeah, the Dallas Cowboys,
00:36:39
you can do worse than starting any of them.
00:36:41
I mean, they're all doing well as long as you do the top 2,
00:36:44
your running back and the tight end, All four of those guys are
00:36:46
having good weeks every single week.
00:36:48
To include DAC Prescott would. Have told me if you would have
00:36:50
told me at the beginning of the season that Javonte Williams was
00:36:53
going to have more 100 yard games than Sequel and Barkley,
00:36:56
yeah, there's no way I'd take that bed.
00:36:59
No, zero chance, but here we are.
00:37:04
All right, so the sinners and we went through a couple of these
00:37:06
because they just happened to be on Pruitt's team.
00:37:08
But one you didn't have that could have been even worse is
00:37:11
Jameson Williams 0. Same.
00:37:14
You got Kittle 0, but you could had Jamo 0.
00:37:17
Chism had him. There we go, solid zeros.
00:37:20
Chism and I were battling it out with zeros.
00:37:22
I had Evans and Kittle. Man.
00:37:25
The. War of attrition.
00:37:26
Evans had didn't catch a patch right?
00:37:28
No catches. And then 2.5 from waddle.
00:37:31
Yes. Brutal.
00:37:32
Take that Chism. But you could have had Kamara,
00:37:35
11 rushes for 28 yards. You could have had David
00:37:38
Montgomery 13 rushes for 21 yards.
00:37:42
Ouch. That is painful, especially when
00:37:45
you consider that, Gibbs said. Dave, what's the problem, man?
00:37:48
I got 136. I'm only 17 totes.
00:37:51
So go. Around the outside dude, don't
00:37:53
know if. Maybe it's you, bro.
00:37:55
You gotta get faster. And then we had Nico.
00:37:59
Like I said, it wasn't really his fault.
00:38:01
I think he probably would have finished with a great game, but
00:38:03
four for 27 because he got knocked out with concussion.
00:38:07
Ted Rob McMillan and Brian Thomas Junior, both only three
00:38:10
catches for 30 yards. Gross.
00:38:12
Bill Mccoskey, Bill Merritt, Croskey, Mccarrett, whatever the
00:38:16
heck his name is. Bill 13 for 33.
00:38:19
Not good. Ashton Gente laid another egg
00:38:24
and he'd been on a pretty good run, but 6 for 21 against the
00:38:27
Chiefs, Only one catch for 13 yards.
00:38:29
Ouch. So that was a killer.
00:38:31
If you're counting on Gentie. Dallas Goddard, we highlighted
00:38:35
that this is probably his worst game and last month.
00:38:38
So 3 catches for 18. Roma Dunes, a who's been having
00:38:42
such a good season so far, but two for 31?
00:38:45
Not ideal for his owners. Saquon Barkley, I feel like he's
00:38:51
a weekly Sinner. I think he needs to go to church
00:38:53
because he's broke even against the that Vikings defense, which
00:38:58
not you can run against them, man, they're not that good.
00:39:01
I mean, normally you can't pass against them.
00:39:02
So I guess they just flip the script on them.
00:39:05
But 18 carries for 44 yards? That's two and right.
00:39:09
Man, that's not right with that that running game in in Philly
00:39:13
and it's you know, when you've got Barkley putting up those
00:39:16
kind of numbers, not having 100 yard game.
00:39:19
I believe I'm correct in saying that he has not had 100 yards
00:39:22
from scrimmage. No season that's.
00:39:25
Crazy after. Having like 10 last year or
00:39:28
something crazy. Like that?
00:39:30
Yeah, this week it wasn't lack of touches because the last few
00:39:33
weeks we said, well why are you not giving the ball 8 carries?
00:39:36
Of course he's not. But he had 18 this time and 18
00:39:40
only turned into 44 yards. That's just you're never
00:39:45
dropping him, but damn, if you have Barkley and Henry on your
00:39:49
team, you're like whoo, I'm big swinging.
00:39:52
You are terrible this year. Like you're not getting much
00:39:55
production out of your running backs.
00:39:56
And those are both high draft picks.
00:39:59
So those are those are killers. Last few we had Jerry Judy
00:40:04
again, he was someone that was very productive last year, but
00:40:07
two for 17. He's they're just not getting
00:40:09
too many targets with Dylan Gabriel.
00:40:11
Dylan Gabriel's thrown to the tight ends.
00:40:12
So Harold Fannon, his stocks going up, but the whiteouts on
00:40:15
the outside, they're they're not going up.
00:40:18
Let's put it that way. Jalen Waddle flopped one for 15.
00:40:22
They're not throwing the ball in Cleveland, so, you know, forget
00:40:26
it. You know, I, I Judkins had 25
00:40:29
carries, 25 carries. That is what you call a bell,
00:40:32
horse cow. Good.
00:40:34
And three tutties. Yeah, either.
00:40:36
Bell horse cow 4. Sure.
00:40:38
And, and I mean that. Quit when you Gabriel's good.
00:40:42
Gabriel's 13 of 18, like if you're a Browns fan or a Miami
00:40:47
fan and you had to watch either, you had to watch that game,
00:40:51
Welcome to Valhalla, because that was, that was like that was
00:40:55
one of the levels of hell if you sat through that game, 31 to 6
00:41:00
Browns. But it's bad, yeah.
00:41:03
I want to go back to Saquon Barclays one more time.
00:41:06
He has had zero top five finishes.
00:41:09
He's only had, he's only been a top 15 back three times.
00:41:15
Then he's been 30-40 and 22nd 3 times.
00:41:20
So that is just atrocious. I mean, I don't know when the, I
00:41:27
don't know what you could even trade him for if you're trying
00:41:29
to get someone. But he's got temper
00:41:32
expectations. I think moving forward because
00:41:34
he's getting carries, he's getting the totes and he's just
00:41:37
not getting the yard. So I don't know what to do for
00:41:40
about Barclay owners out there. But it's going to be a struggle.
00:41:42
I think it's real. I mean, Kenneth Gainwell and
00:41:46
Justice Hill have better finishes than Saquon.
00:41:49
Yeah, they both have a top five. Multiple.
00:41:52
Yeah, again, when you look at this like a normal 1.
00:41:55
So James Cook, he's been 4th, 2nd, 8th, 10th.
00:41:59
I mean, his worst ones Week 5, and I think that's because they
00:42:03
pulled him. But regardless, it's gonna be a
00:42:07
long, long season if he keeps going with those stats.
00:42:12
All right, so that's kind of our main centers.
00:42:14
Let's go into our kind of start sit place of some of our tough
00:42:18
matchups and our shrewdness. Spuds or spuds.
00:42:23
Prude takes you some of those guys who don't don't want to
00:42:25
play unless you have to. Oh, so we, we had a little bit
00:42:29
of a resurgence this last week. We actually hit two out of
00:42:31
three, which we've been, we hit zero a couple weeks in a row and
00:42:37
then one the last couple weeks. We actually hit two this last
00:42:40
week, So and Walker, the third versus Houston only put up 6.6
00:42:48
and Jalen Waddle as mentioned before, we didn't put it in
00:42:52
there, but it's I think it was 2.5.
00:42:55
Yeah, he had the one catch for 15, so 2.5.
00:42:57
Against Yep, against Cleveland. So I hit.
00:43:01
One, we were two out of three. I hope, I hope you guys didn't
00:43:04
bet the made Jalen waddle anytime touchdown because for
00:43:08
the first time this spud did not.
00:43:11
Probably because I finally bet I did bet the anytime touchdown.
00:43:14
I was like, God, he's been nailing these things.
00:43:17
He's. X and I both bet it, which means
00:43:19
obviously it's not going to hit so.
00:43:21
And it did not. It did not, right.
00:43:24
You're just on such a heater for six straight weeks.
00:43:27
Yeah, Jism was like just conjuring points for these guys
00:43:32
with his guesses. This week.
00:43:36
We we got a couple of tough matchups.
00:43:40
I personally think the Chargers versus Minnesota has potential
00:43:44
to be low scoring game. Glad Mcconkey I think may
00:43:49
struggle to get points this week because Aranda Gaston apparently
00:43:53
is going to be the new Jamar Chase for that team.
00:43:57
And I think Quentin Johnson may be back too this week.
00:44:00
He's back last week. Yeah, I mean, back to like full
00:44:03
strength could be back in like Justin Herbert's comfort zone, I
00:44:08
guess you might say. So I think between him and
00:44:12
Keenan Allen, Ladd may not see as many targets this week and
00:44:16
Minnesota's past defense like we've talked about.
00:44:19
Usually good. Is better normally and the run
00:44:23
defense struggled but so anyway I think Ladd may struggle this
00:44:27
week to get his 15.88. I think he'll be held to more
00:44:30
like maybe 8 or 9 points the most.
00:44:34
Gotcha Chisholm, who do you got? Yeah, I'm going with someone who
00:44:41
I like a lot, but he's getting certain this week, CD Lamb.
00:44:45
CD Lamb is getting the certain treatment.
00:44:49
So I like Pickens this week actually.
00:44:52
But I think Lamb is going to be disappointing, not because of
00:44:56
any fault of his own, but just because Denver's defence playing
00:44:59
really well and Serfan just tends to eliminate the wide
00:45:03
receiver one whoever he's against.
00:45:05
So I I. Think it's.
00:45:08
Going to be real tough for for CD to get 10 points this week.
00:45:13
How about you, Dex? So I'm going to go with Debo
00:45:18
Samuel. So even if Terry Mclaurin comes
00:45:22
back, I don't really care. They're at Kansas City and
00:45:25
Kansas City shuts down the pass. They have a very good secondary,
00:45:28
good linebackers, and it's probably Marcus Mariota.
00:45:32
So I just don't see a lot of passing happening.
00:45:34
I think they're going to have to run because Casey is generally
00:45:37
susceptible to giving up the run.
00:45:39
They'd rather give you that than the big plays on the pass.
00:45:41
I think Debo's going to struggle to get open, I think he's going
00:45:45
to struggle to find spots, and I think Mariota is going to
00:45:48
struggle being an Arrowhead. I think that's just not a solid
00:45:51
match up. So against the 4th best pass D
00:45:53
in the league, I think Debo is going to struggle.
00:45:56
So Debo Samuel is my spot of the week.
00:45:58
So we got Mcconkey, CD Lamb and Debo.
00:46:01
We go with the whiteout trio this week.
00:46:03
So put your Carly's in for the overs and all those guys and
00:46:06
anytime touchdowns, they're probably going to blow up.
00:46:09
Pastor Tan's going to have 1/2 cramp in the first quarter and
00:46:13
there are those CD Lamb for 20 catches.
00:46:16
I did. I think it is possible Debo goes
00:46:18
out, but he's kind of banged up right now and it's possible that
00:46:21
he he goes out with a hard hit or something like that.
00:46:25
He he may not even play the whole game.
00:46:27
Yeah, right. We'll have to see what happens,
00:46:29
but I think it's a tough matchup even if he is healthy if he
00:46:31
makes it through there. All right, so let's go down to
00:46:35
our. Gambling locks you what we had a
00:46:41
we had a good rebound week. So you know last week we had our
00:46:45
first over of the season and we had been on a real heater and we
00:46:50
came back this week and we hit two of three and almost hit
00:46:54
three of three a point and a half away.
00:46:57
And we had picked the under in New England, Tennessee.
00:47:00
It went a point and a half over. We picked Philly, Minnesota over
00:47:04
Pruitt. I gave you that one that hit.
00:47:07
I gave you Cleveland -2 1/2 and it could have been -20 1/2
00:47:11
because Miami did not remember that they had a game.
00:47:15
That they play football in the National Football League.
00:47:19
So foosball. That was a kind of a a no
00:47:22
brainer and that took took our total to 62% on the year which
00:47:26
is ridiculous. So you better get your bets in
00:47:30
now and get your money now because we will hit a cold
00:47:33
streak. I'm warning you now.
00:47:35
So take your money now. This is the time.
00:47:37
So let's see what we got for you.
00:47:38
This this. Week, that was our.
00:47:40
Let's start with you. Oh, Cold streak was last week.
00:47:42
Jizz. That was back on the heater now.
00:47:45
That's it, We're on a heater. You're out of three every week.
00:47:47
Wait, a cold front come through and then it's warming right
00:47:49
back. Up.
00:47:50
Let's go. That's right.
00:47:52
That's right. All right, I'm, I'm a I'm a
00:47:54
believer. I'm a believer in Jackson Dart
00:47:58
and I'm a believer in, I hate to say it, Jalen Hurts has looked
00:48:03
much better the last couple weeks.
00:48:05
He has, He has. I think he's both of those
00:48:07
teams. Trying to prove us wrong.
00:48:09
Like Yep, that's. Right, That's right.
00:48:13
I think both those teams are showing some signs of life
00:48:15
offensively. Jackson Dart gives them a lot
00:48:18
more versatility as their quarterback and Scataboos just
00:48:23
got battering Rams, you know, mentality, whatever.
00:48:27
So they're going to pound the ball, they're going to run when
00:48:31
needed at the quarterback position, throw the short
00:48:34
passes, whatever they need to do.
00:48:35
They're going to be competitive and I think they go over.
00:48:39
So the current total is 43 1/2 and I'm sticking with Philly New
00:48:44
York Giants over this week. I like it.
00:48:48
Dex, how are things looking for you in pick land?
00:48:51
What are we going this week? So I'm going to pick on Miami
00:48:54
again because I think they are one more game away from head
00:48:59
coach McDaniel being fired. I think this is the week.
00:49:03
So I'm taking Atlanta -7 1/2 at home against Miami.
00:49:07
And that sounds like a big number until you realize Miami's
00:49:10
terrible. They have the 26th ranked
00:49:15
defense. Atlanta has the second ranked
00:49:17
defense. They're like, well, at least
00:49:19
Miami can score with their 29th ranked offense and against
00:49:24
Atlanta's 7th ranked offense. I know they kind of laid an egg
00:49:27
last week at San Francisco. Got it.
00:49:30
Whatever. I don't even care about that
00:49:32
because San Francisco going across the country, it's
00:49:35
Atlanta. I mean, that's kind of a tough
00:49:37
one to do. And Bijon is going to truck
00:49:40
Miami. He's going to just be all up in
00:49:42
that. And again, who the heck to us?
00:49:45
Terrible. Tyreke is out, Jalen Waddles
00:49:49
hurt. It's just me, Devon A Chan, and
00:49:52
he's super good, don't get me wrong.
00:49:54
But I believe I trust in Atlanta to stop one person and it's hard
00:50:00
to win in Atlanta. I think they take this game
00:50:03
easily. I mean, I almost ladder this
00:50:06
damn thing up to like 11, but whatever.
00:50:08
So I think Atlanta, my 7 1/2 home against Miami, is a solid
00:50:11
pick for this week. Chisholm bring us home with a
00:50:14
third well. We're, we're already minus,
00:50:17
we're already in -1 days that I thought Mike McDaniel would
00:50:21
still be employed. So I.
00:50:23
It's amazing. I'm shocked that he's.
00:50:25
Still there and the dude looks like dead inside on the
00:50:28
sidelines and I cannot believe they're actually going to guard
00:50:31
him out there. Yeah, I think we fade Miami
00:50:34
until Mcdaniel's gone. Right, like.
00:50:37
I just, I don't see them rebounding anytime soon.
00:50:41
He lost that team a long time ago and their injuries are
00:50:46
brutal. So I'm going to give you a third
00:50:48
and this one you're going to get a little extra juice on because
00:50:51
you got a money line pick. Ladies and gentlemen, I got a
00:50:54
money line pick for you. And somehow, somehow, this
00:50:57
usually scares me. But I'm not scared this week,
00:50:59
guys. I'm not because this line opened
00:51:03
San Francisco -1 1/2 at Houston. Somehow it is now San Fran plus
00:51:10
1 1/2 at Houston. And I'm taking the free money.
00:51:15
Give me the money line. Because like, not only is San
00:51:19
Francisco going to win, they're definitely going to win by more
00:51:22
than a point and 1/2. So I'm taking a money line.
00:51:24
I mean, Houston, Houston's defense is solid.
00:51:27
They're not CMC solid, though, and they're not, they're not
00:51:31
George Kittle solid back at his back at his element, right?
00:51:38
And CJ Stroud looks like me, a quarterback right now, doesn't
00:51:42
know anything that's being thrown at him.
00:51:44
Except not as fast. I don't like.
00:51:46
I do not like. Yeah, I.
00:51:47
Don't like? Not quite as mobile.
00:51:50
Right. I don't like Houston at all
00:51:52
right now. I don't like And Nico Collins is
00:51:55
not going to play. So yeah, like, what are you
00:51:58
going? To ride that.
00:51:59
Chub this week, you going to ride the chub?
00:52:01
Is that your? Is that your bet?
00:52:03
Give me San Francisco. Lock it.
00:52:06
Up all right. I think that is going to wrap us
00:52:08
up for the week. Want to check did we answer all
00:52:11
the questions that we needed for our listeners or is there any
00:52:14
ones leftover that we need to hit?
00:52:17
Yeah, I think we got most of the ones in in what we hit, so yeah.
00:52:21
But thanks for sending stuff in. Please be sure to shoot us stuff
00:52:26
throughout the week on our socials.
00:52:28
You can e-mail us if you go to our website.
00:52:30
Either way, we'll be happy to answer your questions and
00:52:33
hopefully give you content that that is going to be really
00:52:36
useful for you. That's what we love to do.
00:52:38
We love fantasy football even when we lose our heads, so
00:52:41
guillotine is where it's at and hopefully we can help navigate
00:52:45
you through the rest of the season.
00:52:46
So you had some money? That's right.
00:52:48
All right. Well, that sounds great.
00:52:50
Hope everyone makes it through by Mageddon round one and we'll
00:52:54
injure him again if you got some of these other guys.
00:52:57
But that's right. Yeah, it gets you paid.
00:52:59
The money. Middle money, middle spend that
00:53:02
money because he's just going to go the grave with you.
00:53:06
Not not going to do anything with that.
00:53:07
So might as well get some peeps at this point of the season.
00:53:09
I mean, if you're in a situation where you don't have to, you are
00:53:13
on the short list. And congratulations to you, Sir
00:53:15
or ma'am. But if you're like everybody
00:53:18
else, go get those players and get you through and then just
00:53:20
keep staying alive. See one step ahead of this, the
00:53:23
slowest kid and you'll be all right.
00:53:27
So that is going to do it for this week.
00:53:28
Look for our power parley for Thursday night's game, Minnesota
00:53:32

00:53:34

00:53:37
from there. But until next week, do what you
00:53:39
gotta do Stay shrewd.
