1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,480
Week 8 is behind us. 
We are officially over halfway 

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:12,680
through the NFL season for teams
without a bye I guess, and Rashi

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,560
Rice is leading the wide 
receiver position in points per 

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:24,280
game. 
This is stat chasing Pat fryer 

5
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,480
Helmo. 
This is what? 

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440
This is what I'm hot. 
Anita hand job. 

7
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,280
Fix your sight Jamar and alpha 
play Chase Tony. 

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,680
You can't handle the heat. 
It looks like we're finally 

9
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:49,040
pissed, boys, You're right. 
OK, we're not actually halfway 

10
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,880
through. 
I just I just kind of Dave, it's

11
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,960
matic to that one. 
I I was just a lie, but we're 

12
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,360
through week 8. 
We're through week 8, which is. 

13
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,680
That's almost halfway. 
Yeah, almost halfway. 

14
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,680
Definitely not. 
Like by any definition too. 

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,320
Early on this Sunday, we'll be 
halfway. 

16
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,760
There you go. 
Thank you. 

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,320
Thank you for having my back 
there. 

18
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:19,400
So I, you know, I, I screwed up 
in a very bad way. 

19
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,760
I had the wrong background for 
your cold open. 

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,680
I don't know how you're ever 
going to forgive me. 

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,000
To be honest, I did not even 
notice the background did not 

22
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:29,880
register for. 
Me. 

23
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:34,080
No, I don't think. 
I don't think I might be the 

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,640
only person in the on the planet
who cares that the that the 

25
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,280
background is correct. 
Yeah, if you notice that the 

26
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,080
background was not correct, let 
us hear about it in the 

27
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,160
comments. 
You know, we, we take that kind 

28
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,920
of feedback very seriously. 
We're a professional show. 

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,640
We, we make the big bucks. 
We we, we should get that sort 

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:02:00,320
of thing right. 
Well, I, I think we've got a lot

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
to go through in the in the 
charts today. 

32
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,760
So let's go ahead and dive into 
them, see if we can keep this 

33
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,919
show under 2 hours. 
We've been doing pretty good 

34
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,039
recently. 
Feel like we've. 

35
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Been on a good run. 
Delivering all the information 

36
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,560
that we think is actionable and 
we've been doing it concisely. 

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Yeah. 
I mean, this is the first year 

38
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,240
we've done at show notes and 
what do you know we're we're 

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,280
efficient with we're more 
efficient with the show. 

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,840
Like who? 
Who would have talked tonk it? 

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600
I mean, in past years we had 
notes, but they were a lot 

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,120
looser than the structure that 
we've been going. 

43
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,880
With yeah, true, true, true. 
These are a lot more, a lot more

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
focused. 
So again, you, you've got the 

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,840
notes this week. 
You want to you want to dance on

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Kayla Williams. 
He's not dead yet, but. 

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,440
Well, well prior to me dancing 
on Kayla Williams grave. 

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,360
Let's pull the charts up so the 
the good people can see. 

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Oh oh. 
I I I've shared screen but I 

50
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,920
haven't added to the stage there
we. 

51
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Go OK, so the the point I wanted
to make on Kayla Williams, I 

52
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,600
have a couple couple things to 
share here. 

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,800
So first I was pulling up how 
he's been trending on this chart

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,240
over the past weeks. 
In week 6, he was at an adjusted

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,960
yards per attempt of right about
8:00. 

56
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Then in week 7 he's down to 7.5.
Now here in week 8, he's almost 

57
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320
down to 7 adjusted yards per 
attempt. 

58
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,680
So it's been a steady and 
precipitous fall off That's 

59
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,280
that's kind of a lot of ground 
to cover when you consider that 

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,800
this is an average of the 
season. 

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,000
So he's been very bad and and 
very bad lately. 

62
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,280
He was running really, really 
hot on deep touchdowns earlier 

63
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,440
in the season. 
So that was really doing a lot 

64
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,280
of work for adjusted yards per 
attempt. 

65
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,480
But it turns out when you stop 
Sun running deep touchdowns to 

66
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,240
Roma Dunze, your whole numbers 
start to look a lot worse. 

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,840
And I did some digging into this
because watching the Bears, it 

68
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,680
really seems like the success 
that he does have is within 

69
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,080
those first 15 or so scripted 
plays, right? 

70
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,320
Like you get the scripted plays 
and he, he looks fine, more or 

71
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,920
less. 
And then after that where it's 

72
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,240
like, all right, this isn't 
something that we've drilled at 

73
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,880
practice all week. 
Like I don't, you know, I don't 

74
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,200
have reps going through. 
OK. 

75
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,840
I, I start hearing my 
progression, then I get to hear.

76
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:25,920
And then if there's nothing 
here, then I throw it away. 

77
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,960
Or if there's nothing here, I 
take this checked out or, or 

78
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,160
what have you. 
But when you get out of those 

79
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,600
first 15 scripted plays, I 
managed to pull up this stat. 

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,200
So for quarterbacks, excluding 
their first 15 plays of each 

81
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,080
half all the way back through 
2011, there is no quarterback 

82
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,440
with a lower EPA than Caleb 
Williams, that's lower than Zach

83
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,440
Wilson, that's lower than you 
know, you, you take your pick of

84
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,960
your least favorite quarterback,
but there is no quarterback 

85
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,280
lower in EPA than Kayla Williams
outside of the 1st 15 plays of 

86
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:05,280
each half. 
What do you think about that? 

87
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,360
That sounds pretty bad. 
You you photos about the NFL 

88
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,840
because I totally made it up. 
No, I just Davis Maddock, that 

89
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,240
one. 
It it just sounded OK. 

90
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,720
You had me. 
I was like, oh shit, I met this 

91
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:26,320
guy last week. 
He's like, so I'm looking I'm 

92
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:32,000
I'm looking at his adjusted 
George for attempts and by the 

93
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,520
games. 
And so he had it. 

94
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,200
He obviously he played lights 
out against the the Cowboys. 

95
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,240
He who? 
Who do they play in in Week 6? 

96
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,440
Let me see here. 
Was it? 

97
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:54,320
Was it the Saints? 
Week 6 because he then he yeah, 

98
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,520
it was the commanders. 
Oh yeah, Saints was 7, 

99
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:03,880
Commanders was 6. 
And yeah, the Seven 7 was his 

100
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,360
worst game, was his worst game 
so far this year. 

101
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,960
Week week 4 was actually pretty 
bad as well, but yeah, 7 was a 

102
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,040
little worse. 
In in terms of adjusted yards 

103
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,560
for tent? 
Yeah, yeah. 

104
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,120
That was the, and I, I, I had 
the excuse of like, oh, it was, 

105
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,160
it was, it was the worst wetter 
game on the week. 

106
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,840
It was even worse than the, the,
the, the Browns one, or it was 

107
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:29,720
expected to be worse than the 
Browns. 

108
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,800
Dolphins 1 and then yeah, he had
the pretty piss per game against

109
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:41,280
the Ravens as well like what's 
what's kind of interesting is 

110
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,240
even in these bad games he's 
putting up like decent amount of

111
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:52,960
passing yardage and on like a 
lot of it's kind of like decent 

112
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,000
drop back numbers. 
So it's kind of like what you 

113
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,320
said last week where he's like, 
not, he's not a catastrophic 

114
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,520
quarterback to have for your 
past catchers. 

115
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,040
And then how many what? 
How many? 

116
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,680
How many fantasy points did he 
score? 

117
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:19,240
In this last week, looks like a 
little under How many rushing 

118
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,600
yards did he have? 
Looks like 1213. 

119
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,480
Let me pull up his rushing 
numbers though. 

120
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Yeah, it looks like 14 ish. 
Like between 13 and 14. 

121
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Just quick mental math I'm. 
I'm I'm just going to, I'm just 

122
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,200
going to pull it up. 
So then, so I'm right now this 

123
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,640
is not all week, so I need to 
change it to just week 8. 

124
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:52,800
So he had 12.8. 
So you, you, you were correct. 

125
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:59,080
I mean, unlike a terrible week, 
12.8 is like, you're certainly 

126
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,080
not dead on 12.8. 
Yeah, he's just. 

127
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,960
He's not someone I. 
Feel like, I feel like he's 

128
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440
worse for real football than he 
is for fantasy. 

129
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Like he's like Justin Fields is 
a better fantasy quarterback and

130
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,000
probably marginally worse 
reality quarterback, but he's 

131
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,480
probably in that kind of 
archetype where he's he's pretty

132
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:30,520
bad for for reality, but like 
he's OK for fantasy because even

133
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,159
in the Doo Doo weeks like it, 
it's like it's like an OK floor.

134
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,679
Yeah, I think he's, I mean, the 
whole point of this chart is 

135
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,600
that it does kind of help 
cluster guys around. 

136
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,760
I mean, obviously you have to do
some kind of like adjusting for 

137
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,040
the rushing yards. 
Maybe we can figure out a way to

138
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,040
like vectorize that next next 
season and get that in the chart

139
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,640
so we can can place them 
somewhere where it's like 

140
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,320
they're they're all closer for 
their actual fantasy 

141
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,840
performance. 
But I mean, where he sits on the

142
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,160
chart is like kind of where I 
think he, you know, his 

143
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,240
neighbors are, are pretty 
appropriate comparisons for 

144
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,920
fantasy. 
Like. 

145
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:13,760
He's he's about a Michael Pennix
or ACJ Stroud or like a, you 

146
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,480
know, bone, like a worse bone X,
which like that that doesn't get

147
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,360
me excited. 
You know, like, wait, 

148
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,360
significantly worse than Mac 
Jones. 

149
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,640
I guess significantly worse is 
unfair. 

150
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,680
Worse, right, right. 
Well, I mean, he's also he's 

151
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:35,400
not, he's not like he's similar 
efficiency to Doc Prescott, 

152
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:42,480
similar efficiency on the on the
season to Baker Mayfield and 

153
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,240
like he's right next to Pennex 
on the chart. 

154
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,960
But then his rushing bubble and 
I, I know we talked about this 

155
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,720
last week that his, his, what 
you call it, a lot of his 

156
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,600
rushing came early in the 
season. 

157
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,680
Yeah, he did I. 
Did I agree with you that he's a

158
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:06,040
he's he's a he's a per he's he, 
he's like probably he's probably

159
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,640
one of the worst, like actual 
like locked in starter reality 

160
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,320
quarterbacks, but like he's 
still like still a solid 

161
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,800
fantasy. 
I I I, I don't think you're not 

162
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,480
thrilled if you have them like 
we have. 

163
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,400
We have Kayla Williams on our 
red main event. 

164
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,240
That's that's kind of sliding. 
And I I would I certainly 

165
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,760
wouldn't fight toot and nail to 
keep Kayla Williams when we have

166
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Drake may we might actually, 
that might be 1 where we where 

167
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,280
we cut Kayla Williams because 
like we need help elsewhere. 

168
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,120
But like in terms of best ball, 
like I think he's OK in the 

169
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,480
right matchup. 
We we like, we were still like 

170
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,280
happy to play Kel Williams 
against the Cowboys because the 

171
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Cowboys are do do so in those 
matchups like. 

172
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,520
Yeah, in the in the literal best
matchup in the league, yes, I I 

173
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,040
will play him. 
Well, it doesn't. 

174
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,720
I guess even the top five, even 
the top 10 best matchups like 

175
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,320
he, he's good enough in terms of
fantasy football that he puts up

176
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400
points. 
Yeah, He. 

177
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,480
I'm not gonna be, yeah, I'm 
going to be like, I'm going to 

178
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,320
be hard pressed to find times 
where like I want to start Caleb

179
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,200
Williams over a a good 
quarterback. 

180
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,800
You know, if I'm, if I'm like 
just totally dead, like I I 

181
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,440
drafted a guy who's injured now,
like if I took Brock Purdy or 

182
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,080
something, then yeah, I would, I
would stream Caleb Williams in a

183
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,840
pinch, but he wasn't really 
going in a place where you were 

184
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,200
like picking him up to use as a 
streamer. 

185
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800
You're like drafting him as 
your, your starting quarterback 

186
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,480
and in Bestball, like the, the 
price for him in bestball just 

187
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,160
looks really, really bad because
the opportunity cost was pretty 

188
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,720
significant. 
That's where like all of the 

189
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,480
good quarterbacks went and and 
also a lot of the skill position

190
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,600
players that went around there 
were some of the stronger picks 

191
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,880
in the draft. 
So I don't know you're you're 

192
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,720
gonna have a hard time selling 
me on anything that's that's 

193
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
putting him in a positive light 
like he's a. 

194
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,040
He's a replacement level, that 
is clear to me. 

195
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,640
He's a replacement level player,
you know. 

196
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:29,760
In yes, in reality and but I I 
still think that his style of 

197
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,400
play means that even at 
replacement level and you get 

198
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,320
you get some pretty good fantasy
weeks. 

199
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,760
I mean, he's basically at 
replacement level in fantasy 

200
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,240
too. 
Like if we look at where he is 

201
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,280
on this chart, which is 
measuring how good a a player is

202
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,560
for fantasy, he's bang on the 
median. 

203
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:50,600
Like bang on median drop backs, 
bang on median efficiency 

204
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,480
trending downward. 
You know, he's not a major 

205
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,600
outlier in the way of rushing 
production either. 

206
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,400
So for me, it's just like Caleb 
Williams is to the quarterback 

207
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:05,600
position. 
What, like, yeah, in actual 

208
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,240
fantasy points where you get the
one huge game that's booing him,

209
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,200
where he had, you know, 
significant fantasy production 

210
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
all come from one game? 
Yes, He's quarterback 13. 

211
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,920
Yeah. 
But a lot like that, that's kind

212
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:22,200
of how fantasy works as well, 
where like a significant like 

213
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,400
unless you're like literally 
like Jonathan Taylor, a lot of 

214
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,480
the production comes from single
weeks. 

215
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,960
Yeah, I mean, I I would say in 
points per game, I'll be pretty 

216
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,520
surprised to see him be, you 
know, much higher than like QB 

217
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520
16 through the end of the 
season. 

218
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,160
OK. 
I just it, it's, I, I think 

219
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,800
it's, it's heading in the 
opposite direction of of where 

220
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,200
you'd want it to go if you were 
were hoping. 

221
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,680
Right, No, no, I, I, I, I get 
what like I, I have a hard, 

222
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:56,640
honestly, I have a hard time 
with kind of like trend line 

223
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,840
stuff when it comes to fantasy 
football, 'cause like often time

224
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,480
there's, there's not trends, but
with two or three data points, 

225
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,880
the, the appearance of 1 can 
emerge. 

226
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,600
I, I think what you're saying 
is, hey, he's had the best game 

227
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,120
he's ever. 
He he'll have this year against 

228
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,720
the Cowboys, which it like 
there's not going to be many 

229
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,240
quarterbacks to have a game as 
good. 

230
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,600
So that seems fair. 
And but the, the I, I where I 

231
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,080
disagree is that he won't have 
any more good games this year. 

232
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:41,960
Like I, I, I think his play, his
style of play means that he, he 

233
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,200
is likely to have games where 
he's a, where he's in like the 

234
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:52,200
8910 and adjusted yards per 
attempt and, and the, and the 

235
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,480
drop backs are good enough And, 
and you do get some rushing 

236
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,120
there. 
Like I, I, I, I think, I, I, I 

237
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,800
guess, I, I think he probably go
settle around quarterback 15 and

238
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:12,440
the 13, but maybe, maybe we 
should move on. 

239
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,240
OK, the next I didn't have a ton
of quarterback notes. 

240
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,360
I felt like it was mostly a 
status quo week, but we do have 

241
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,280
to kind of give this one Justin 
Fields not actually benched, 

242
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,200
only benched in theory before 
the game actually happened. 

243
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,400
Then then he gets to start. 
So the chat was right all along.

244
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760
There's zero chance Justin 
Fields gets benched. 

245
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,120
Rumors of him being benched and 
then being unceremoniously 

246
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,280
unbenched do not matter because 
Justin Fields never was benched 

247
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,360
in. 
In all seriousness though, do 

248
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,400
you think that his performance 
in The Jets first win of the 

249
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,560
season is enough to save his 
job? 

250
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,640
For next week, who did The Jets 
play this week? 

251
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,520
They're they're on by. 
OK, Jets week was that week 10 

252
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:17,440
schedule. 
They get the Browns next. 

253
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:23,120
They get the Browns. 
So do I think that Justin Fields

254
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,840
performance against the Bengals,
which he had and adjusted yards 

255
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:34,680
per 10th from 8.3 and will be 
enough to save his job when 

256
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,480
Miles Garrett like wears him 
around his neck like a necklace 

257
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,720
And and then after that he gets 
the Patriots, then he gets the 

258
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,600
Ravens. 
He, he, he. 

259
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:49,960
He's on tin ice. 
Right. 

260
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,640
Yeah, it's a it's a rough 
stretch for him after the pie. 

261
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,800
And I, I definitely, on a human 
level, not that anybody cares. 

262
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,960
I definitely felt for him when 
he was like, Oh yeah, I was 

263
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,319
crying in my cupboard like 
nobody believed in me. 

264
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,319
And I was like, oh, that, that 
that's rough. 

265
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,319
That is rough. 
Especially he seems like a 

266
00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:14,880
really good person. 
And so it it that that part 

267
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:19,760
makes me, me feel like like crap
for like that. 

268
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
They're kind of like gloating 
that he's bad. 

269
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:31,120
And but I, I, I, I think what 
it's, it's like the chat was 

270
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,160
right in one thing in that when 
The Jets were faced with the 

271
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,640
reality of actually having to 
start to Rod Taylor, they, they,

272
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,440
they blinked when they, when 
that face, ugly, ugly face was 

273
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,560
looking at them back in the 
mirror, they blinked. 

274
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,160
And, and that that's probably 
the best thing helping Phil's 

275
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,200
right now. 
But he's, he's, he's on tin ice.

276
00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,560
The team is purely managed and 
his his weaknesses are very 

277
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,480
pronounced. 
They they seem to be pronouncing

278
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:09,000
the emphasizing the weaknesses. 
Even though he's a great fantasy

279
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,440
quarterback, it's you, you, you,
you still, you still feel 

280
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,920
nervousness for for fields every
every week. 

281
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,160
Like when when you when you have
him and you know he's starting, 

282
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,240
you play him, but it's like a 
one week at a time type of time.

283
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,840
Yeah, I mean, I I think if you 
don't have the tie rod or tie 

284
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,320
rod injury, he probably ends up 
playing this last week. 

285
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,440
But I I do think that it's 
really easy from where The Jets 

286
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,760
are sitting to be prisoners of 
the moment when you're O and 

287
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,920
seven, right? 
Where it's like, God, we just 

288
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,080
need any anything that we can 
do, anything that's different 

289
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
than what we were doing is 
probably better. 

290
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,720
Like you just change for 
change's sake, you know, and so 

291
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,800
I I agree with you. 
He he's going to get the chance 

292
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,160
coming out of the buy. 
The Browns match up should be 

293
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,920
rough. 
I mean, we just saw Miles 

294
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,400
Garrett sack Drake may five 
times in a game. 

295
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,800
I don't know if you saw that, 
but. 

296
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,400
I did see that. 
It was literally all over TV. 

297
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,760
Yeah, and it was 5 sacks and 
they still lose. 

298
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,920
Well, after. 
They asked like, how does it 

299
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,960
feel to sack him five times? 
And he was like, I just want to 

300
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,960
win, please. 
I don't care about the socks. 

301
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,000
I want to win. 
Well, they so they took him out 

302
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,280
in the fourth quarter and they 
weren't letting Garrett play. 

303
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,760
And he was like throwing a hissy
fit on the sideline. 

304
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,480
He was pissed. 
He he, I, I, but I don't want to

305
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,280
like say, oh, I don't believe 
him that he wants to win like he

306
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,320
wants to win. 
He definitely was just wanting 

307
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,200
to set a sack record in that 
game. 

308
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,560
Like the the way that he was 
throwing a fit on the sideline 

309
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,800
was like, what the fuck, guys? 
Like this is in my career. 

310
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:57,000
I might get one more chance to 
set the single game sack record,

311
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,720
you know, and this is probably 
my best chance. 

312
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,120
You know, I'm already at 5. 
Drake May loves to take him. 

313
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:08,040
Like Drake May will just stand 
back there and get sacked. 

314
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,320
And you're just saying I just 
need I think the single game 

315
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,960
sack record is is 8. 
Is that right? 

316
00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:17,080
I can't. 
I'll look it up real quick. 

317
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:25,880
Single game sack record. 
It's 7/7, so yeah, he he would 

318
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,760
have needed eight to pass it. 
But yeah, man, like, he he 

319
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:35,040
wasn't wrong to be upset. 
Like with the contract that he 

320
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:39,040
signed with the Browns and where
the Browns are at from a roster 

321
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,160
construction standpoint, like 
winning, quote UN quote, caring 

322
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,120
about winning. 
That's just not going to be a 

323
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:49,160
thing for Miles Garrett for his 
career unless he gets traded, 

324
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,720
right? 
And I I still think you want to 

325
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,440
win the game. 
Yeah, yeah. 

326
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,840
Somebody. 
Somebody of of Mouse Guard's 

327
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,440
Taliban's mental makeup. 
Being a competitor, you want to 

328
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:02,800
win. 
For sure. 

329
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,440
I that's not sorry, I, I 
probably phrased it wrong. 

330
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,040
It's but he also knows he is not
winning a super. 

331
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,480
His career will end without him 
winning a Super Bowl unless he 

332
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,760
gets traded. 
That's that's like the cold hard

333
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,920
truth. 
And that's why he, you know, 

334
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,920
held out for so much money. 
He's like, yeah, I I think I'd 

335
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,360
kind of like, you know, to have 
some accolades for my career. 

336
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,200
And so he he's a smart enough 
guy to know like this is his 

337
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,760
this is how he gets his act like
when he is retired and looking 

338
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,360
back on his career, like sure 
would be nice to be staring at 

339
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:40,520
the single game sack record. 
You know, that's, that's all I'm

340
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,760
I'm. 
Yeah. 

341
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,640
No, no, that makes sense. 
So it it was fun or funny to me 

342
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,720
to see him be so upset and the 
Browns coach, I mean, I get why 

343
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,800
the coaches held him out too, 
because it's like this does 

344
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,120
nothing for you could go get 20 
sacks, buddy. 

345
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:56,720
We're not It's not going to help
us win this game. 

346
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,160
But OK. 
I think that's enough that 

347
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,760
Justin Fields talk turn into a 
Miles Garrett tangent. 

348
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:07,480
The other quarterback notes I 
had really, I think a lot of it 

349
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,160
was status quo. 
You don't need to hear us talk 

350
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,040
about how good Justin Herbert or
Patrick Mahomes or Drake May 

351
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,400
are. 
But the again, for the millionth

352
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,640
time, but the quick like touches
I had, I'll just shout them out 

353
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,280
and if you have anything to add 
to them, you know, please do. 

354
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,360
But Tua had a a decent bounce 
back game against a really good 

355
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,480
Falcons defense. 
I actually I'll I'll come back 

356
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:29,880
to that one. 
I just want to rapid fire 

357
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,040
through these Kirk Cousins look 
terrible in that same game, you 

358
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,240
know, carrying some water for 
Michael Pennix, maybe, you know,

359
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
actually being being better than
he seems or at least better than

360
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400
Kirk Cousins. 
And then Spencer Rattler finally

361
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,880
benched. 
He will this will be his last 

362
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,400
week on the chart before we have
Tyler Shuck in there. 

363
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,440
But I want to go back to the two
of thing. 

364
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,760
So many of the Falcons stats 
like defensive stats that, you 

365
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,040
know, they were in the top, you 
know, couple places in the 

366
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,280
league. 
We're really predicated on 

367
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,240
things like pressure, like time 
to pressure and pressure, win 

368
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,080
rate and things like that. 
And I was looking back at who 

369
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,400
they played and they played a 
lot of the culprits for the 

370
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,680
longest time to throw in the 
league like Josh Allen and Jaden

371
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,240
Daniels. 
And I'm trying to remember who 

372
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,560
else they they played but who 
are. 

373
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,000
You talking about? 
The Falcons defense Falcons 

374
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,760
defense looked like a juggernaut
coming into this game right? 

375
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,920
One of the best in the league. 
Their the biggest like thing 

376
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,320
that stuck out to me was how 
good their pressure stats were, 

377
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,640
specifically their their time to
pressure. 

378
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,880
And then when you look back at 
who they have played and how 

379
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,200
they won those games, they beat 
the Bills because they got to 

380
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,840
Josh Allen so fast and they shut
Josh Allen down. 

381
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,440
And Josh Allen, like many of 
these mobile like elite 

382
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,440
quarterbacks like Drake May, 
Lamar Jackson, Jade Daniels, 

383
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,640
like these guys that extend the 
play and can either do something

384
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,400
with their legs or, you know, 
burn you deep. 

385
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,880
Those guys, the, the Falcons had
played a lot of them and seemed 

386
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,000
like they, they at the very 
least had, if not, you know, the

387
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,440
recipe for how to beat those 
guys, at least like an inkling 

388
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,920
of how to give them trouble. 
And I, I think that is kind of 

389
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,960
what was showing up in the 
Falcons stats. 

390
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,960
And the Dolphins were like the 
perfect storm for the Falcons. 

391
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,040
I mean, other than the fact that
they're missing a bunch of their

392
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,480
most important players on 
offense. 

393
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,200
So you know that that certainly 
doesn't do any favors to the 

394
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,720
defense. 
So the offense can't sustain 

395
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,480
drives and you're just having to
be out there all the time. 

396
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,160
So what I'm saying here actually
lines up a lot with what you're 

397
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:48,200
saying where the the commanders 
or pass rush is actually not 

398
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,880
that good. 
It's like the 15th in the league

399
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,280
and per PFF, both PFF and the 
ESPN password. 

400
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,160
The the Commanders or the 
Falcons? 

401
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,280
The Falcons, sorry, I I did say 
the Falcons. 

402
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,000
Why do I why do I have the 
Falcons in my head? 

403
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,240
Sorry I I interrupted to make a 
point. 

404
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,760
And then my point is like, so 
there are 14 in the league and 

405
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,720
in, in, in, in, in, in their 
pass rush. 

406
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,680
Yeah, they're the time. 
The pressure is really the thing

407
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,000
for the Falcons that I think 
kind of made the perfect storm 

408
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,720
here for Tua, being so quick to 
throw, just basically 

409
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,640
unaffected. 
The thing that the Falcons did 

410
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,200
the best on defense all of a 
sudden is nullified by the fact 

411
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,440
that Tua's like, oh, yeah, no, 
I'm not interested at all in 

412
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,200
being tackled. 
So the ball is just going to be 

413
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,000
out and, you know, best of luck,
gentlemen. 

414
00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:46,880
And I, I do think that that 
really was a big, big reason why

415
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,920
the Dolphins were able to have 
so much success against a 

416
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,080
Falcons defense that has 
otherwise been really, really 

417
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080
strong. 
Just a a really bad match up 

418
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,520
thing for them along with the 
injuries. 

419
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,040
Right, right, right, right, 
right. 

420
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,080
His time. 
The trail in this game was 2.2 A

421
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:11,720
dot A 4.4. 
And so yeah, they they and and 

422
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,480
and then like I said, the yeah, 
the Falcons, they have the 14th 

423
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,480
best pass rush, which like 
you're saying, they they, they, 

424
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,240
they, they faced a lot of 
quarterbacks to hold the ball 

425
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,400
and they're they're cover. 
Their coverage grade is like 

426
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,720
18th. 
So like, not, not as as terrible

427
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:32,920
as as I kind of would have 
thought. 

428
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,480
But like you said, Chu and not 
not a good matchup for a defense

429
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:45,080
that's predicated on on on on 
the pass rush getting pressure 

430
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,840
against like a three second like
time to throw guy. 

431
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:54,000
Did you have anything else to 
add on the, you know, Cousins 

432
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,840
and and the Falcons or Rattler 
benching or should we just move 

433
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:03,200
on to running backs now? 
No, probably not. 

434
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,960
No, I did. 
I did see there was kind of 

435
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,400
notes that the some of the film 
watchers were saying that the 

436
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,840
Falcons just have this like very
predictable offense that like 

437
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,800
you kind of like, you know, you 
know what they're going to do 

438
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,240
and there's no mystery about it.
And the Dolphins are just able 

439
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,440
to key on them in on that. 
Like I, I, I'm, I'm not a film 

440
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:33,880
grinder, so I don't know the 
truth in that, but I, I, it, it 

441
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,280
does make me wonder if the 
coaching staff is, is a big part

442
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,520
of the problem for the the 
Falcons offense. 

443
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,040
A, a thing that I noticed 
watching the game 'cause I was, 

444
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,160
I was watching this game 'cause 
I had a bunch of bijon in DFS 

445
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,320
and it was not going well. 
And I was, I was wanting to, to 

446
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,040
see if, you know, there was 
anything I could do, you know, 

447
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:58,280
from my couch to help that turn 
around and spoiler I couldn't. 

448
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000
But the thing that I noticed was
it really looked like Kirk 

449
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,200
Cousins was not on the same page
with some of his receivers where

450
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,240
he's expecting the route to be 
run to a different spot on the 

451
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,800
field. 
And so he's throwing at a ball 

452
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,880
with timing and the receivers 
are ending up in a totally 

453
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,760
different spot. 
And he's they they actually like

454
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,920
highlighted, you know, one of 
those plays and then they cut to

455
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,280
him on the sideline. 
He's like talking with a a coach

456
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,880
and just like looks pretty 
frustrated about it where I 

457
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,520
don't know if it's that, you 
know, he and Tenix want the 

458
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,000
receivers to do, you know, 
different things on the same 

459
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,560
routes or what have you. 
But it just looked like a guy 

460
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,000
who didn't have the chemistry 
with the pass catchers from from

461
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,640
playing all season. 
So I think there's a lot of 

462
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,280
there is a lot wrong there. 
But I think the Falcons will 

463
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,240
definitely be hoping for Pendeks
to be back soon. 

464
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,480
Makes sense. 
That's move on to running back. 

465
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:06,080
By the way, shout out to 
Christie and the chat giving us 

466
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,440
giving us good information here 
where Dolphin stacked the box. 

467
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,720
And then Kirk cousin Sam, they, 
they, they dared Kirk cousin to 

468
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,120
beat them. 
And sounds, sounds like they, 

469
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,240
yeah, he, he he didn't, he 
didn't have the chemistry with 

470
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:28,120
his receivers to get that done. 
So for running backs here, I 

471
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,360
there wasn't as far as like big 
usage changes or you know, 

472
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:38,360
things like that. 
I guess there is one small usage

473
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,240
related thing that I'll, I'll 
get to in a little bit, but I 

474
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,760
think we'll just start from the 
top as far as guys who currently

475
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:45,840
have the best roles and work our
way down from there. 

476
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,880
CMC had like a really 
disappointing game. 

477
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,560
If you just looked at the box 
score, it's probably pretty 

478
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,640
confusing. 
You're like, why they why is he 

479
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,800
not involved? 
He only had like 8 carries. 

480
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,000
What's going on? 
The 49ers didn't have the ball 

481
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,720
in this game. 
I had the misfortune of watching

482
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,280
this entire game from start to 
finish and let me tell you how 

483
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,120
the first half went for the 
49ers. 

484
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,000
Believe the first drive was a 
three and out, then the next 

485
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,320
drive was 4 plays, then a punt, 
next drive 3 and out. 

486
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,280
Then their final drive of the 
half, final possession, they 

487
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:26,200
get, they get the ball deep in 
in Texans territory and it's a 

488
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,360
35 yard drive for a touchdown. 
That's it. 

489
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,840
That's the half. 
They ran 14 plays in the first 

490
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,280
half. 
And you know, three of them 

491
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,440
ended in punts like basically 
immediately. 

492
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,800
So CMC just never had a chance 
to get going. 

493
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,400
I this is like a zero panic kind
of situation for me. 

494
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,080
I mean, if anything, it's like 
it's more signal to me that 

495
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,560
Christian McCaffrey is just like
as as Christian McCaffrey goes, 

496
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,640
the 49ers go, at least in this 
current iteration where they 

497
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,240
don't really have any pass 
catchers. 

498
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:02,240
I mean, George Kittle's starting
to to be back, but until they 

499
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,960
get back, either Iuke or JA, 
Juan Jennings gets more healthy 

500
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:10,160
or they get Pierce all back. 
Like they just go as Christian 

501
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,320
McCaffrey goes. 
So not really a a spot for 

502
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,440
concern For me. 
It was just the Texans totally 

503
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,160
dominated them on really it was 
more the offensive side of the 

504
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,240
ball. 
Texans just held the ball for 

505
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,800
the entire game. 
Basically. 

506
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,080
The 49ers barely had any time of
possession. 

507
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,240
And so again, kind of like what 
we said with with the Falcons, 

508
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,840
like if your offense or if your 
defense can't help out your 

509
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,600
offense, like what are you gonna
do? 

510
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,840
Dijon had the the major bust 
week. 

511
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,320
I think it kind of in the same 
vein as McCaffrey. 

512
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,720
No real concern for me here. 
It was just a a product of the 

513
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,880
game environment and his team 
not being able to move the ball 

514
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,480
or or stop the Dolphins on on 
defense. 

515
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,000
This this one I think is 
actually pretty important. 

516
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,400
We get the Saquon Barkley 
hamstring injury to the third 

517
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,800
quarter. 
He comes up he's grimace. 

518
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,760
He grimace is pretty bad. 
Like looked looked like he 

519
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,040
definitely knew that he, you 
know, hurt something doesn't 

520
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:13,760
come back in the game after that
Tank Bigsby gets in the game and

521
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,240
then looks pretty good ends up 
going over 100 yards. 

522
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,760
He also he had a carry earlier 
in the game too, where he looked

523
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,760
pretty good. 
So I Draco, I think I regret to 

524
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,080
inform myself Tank Bixby might 
find a way to get there, man. 

525
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,320
Right and and and the Eagles, 
they have the great offensive 

526
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,280
line. 
I I guess they haven't had the 

527
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,200
best year, but they. 
It's it's improved lately though

528
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,160
with they, they had some health 
issues to start the season and 

529
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,120
their line is definitely getting
healthier and has improved the 

530
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,360
last couple weeks. 
I think it was a major factor 

531
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,920
and Saquon having that, you 
know, the big game this week 

532
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,920
before leaving due to the 
injury. 

533
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:02,440
I, I do, I, I guess I do want to
sorry to go back on McCaffrey. 

534
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:07,280
I am a little bit surprised that
on 33 routes he only had five 

535
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,440
targets that that those seem 
very surprising. 

536
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,440
But maybe that's a big case of 
them just chasing the game, not 

537
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,640
being able to use a check down. 
But then it's like, well, 

538
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:23,640
shouldn't you, shouldn't you be 
using McCaffrey down the field? 

539
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:27,960
And since you're one of your 
best players anyway, sorry to to

540
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,320
digress, just something that I 
noticed. 

541
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:37,120
And, and tank. 
Yeah, I guess the, the, the book

542
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:42,440
on Tank is that he's like, he's 
a good rusher, but he literally 

543
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:49,000
can't do anything else. 
And and if you're in a pinch and

544
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,760
you and you want and you want to
run the ball and that's all you 

545
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,160
want to do like tank Bixby 
actually seems like a solid 

546
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,440
option. 
Like you, you, you probably 

547
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,640
don't want to build like your 
your game plan around just 

548
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:10,280
happened to use tank Bixby. 
But this does seem like a 

549
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:14,360
perfect storm for him to like 
look good where like the eagles 

550
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:19,800
offensive line is playing well, 
like they the the the eagles are

551
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,360
are are are up. 
So they're running the ball and 

552
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,080
you, you and you, you hand it 
off to tank Bigsby and and have 

553
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:33,320
him do tank based Bigsby tanks. 
Yeah, coming up, not the 

554
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,480
greatest matchups in the world 
for Bigsby. 

555
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:40,480
They get, well, they're they're 
going into the bye now and then 

556
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,040
they get the Packers coming out 
of the bye. 

557
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,719
So not sure if Bigsby, if, if 
Barclay is gonna, you know, be 

558
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:53,239
right out of the by or not. 
I mean, it wouldn't surprise me 

559
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,520
for the Eagles to to be careful 
with him. 

560
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,440
He's pretty important for them. 
But we'll we'll see. 

561
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,440
We've got got a couple weeks to 
let that situation play out. 

562
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,160
But like, if you have a if you 
have room on a on a team and 

563
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,160
you're just churning guys, 
Bigsby is for sure a a solid 

564
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,760
waiver add where you could 
probably get him. 

565
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,400
He he will be more under the 
radar on waivers this week than 

566
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,640
he should be because of his buy.
And also because you get some 

567
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,880
more, you know, clear and 
obvious waiver ads like you get,

568
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,040
you have the Tracy one that I 
think will over shadow the 

569
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,560
Bigsby 1. 
So anyway. 

570
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,800
I guess the the concern I I 
would have. 

571
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,520
I'm not sure how much other 
people will share this but I I 

572
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:44,680
would be concerned not because 
he is so 1 dimensional that 

573
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,200
unless you're in a kind of clear
solve the game away game scripts

574
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,800
the other guys are are going to 
get involved. 

575
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,240
Yeah, I I would expect Triply to
mix in some, but I I think let 

576
00:36:01,240 --> 00:36:03,920
me, I'll pull up the the snaps 
here. 

577
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:15,840
Yeah, I don't think, I don't 
think there were many Shipley 

578
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,720
opportunities in this game even 
after the Barkley injury, 

579
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:24,680
though. 
Yeah, so Shipley just three 

580
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:38,120
snaps to Bigsby's 12, and this 
is on rushing plays. 

581
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,400
Yeah, I guess so. 
This is a game where the Eagles 

582
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:49,840
are up, what, 21 to 10 a half? 
Yeah, the the game was it was 

583
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:52,520
totally insulted away mode. 
So there's no, there's no 

584
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,320
receiving snaps or rather right,
no, no and. 

585
00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:00,760
Like there's no, there's no trap
of them passing either, right? 

586
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,840
And in that scenario, you, you, 
you would definitely expect 

587
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,760
simply to, to, to get the 
actually opposite of what I 

588
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,520
meant to say tank, basically to 
get the, the, the, yeah, the 

589
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,360
work. 
Because it's like you're not 

590
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:22,280
even going to threaten the past.
But if there's any it like and 

591
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,560
and and and scenarios or game 
scripts where you do want to be 

592
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,640
able to threaten the past. 
I I I do think he gets a lot 

593
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,160
more involved than this. 
Like, like I said, I think this 

594
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,000
was a perfect storm for thanks, 
Bixby. 

595
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:38,960
I don't think it's like he's 
he's the like the one AI mean. 

596
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:44,160
He might be like the 1A, but it 
it to me. 

597
00:37:44,240 --> 00:37:48,760
I I would love for this to be 
pretty tight between him and 

598
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,400
Shipley and and and and some 
chance that Shipley's ahead at 

599
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,600
least in snap count in like a 
more normal game scripts. 

600
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,720
I. 
I think it's pretty unlikely 

601
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:02,280
Shipley's ahead. 
They've been leaning into, 

602
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,440
they've been leaning into Bigsby
pretty heavily over Shipley 

603
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,080
lately. 
I'll, I'll pull it up just to, 

604
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,440
to validate. 
But yeah, Bigsby and then let me

605
00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:18,520
look at Shipley's snaps for a 
game. 

606
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,760
Yeah, Shipley is, is he's 
getting backfield snaps, but not

607
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,960
many. 
And they're pretty much, I mean,

608
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,360
the rest of his snaps are all 
coming. 

609
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,280
Special teams he's getting in 
the last three weeks, he got 3 

610
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,480
snaps, 8 snaps and eight snaps. 
And then compared to Bigsby, 

611
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:51,200
Bigsby gets four and then 16. 
So yeah, I, I mean, The funny 

612
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,200
thing is they stopped using 
Bigsby on special teams. 

613
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,040
They when they traded for 
Bigsby, they were using him on 

614
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,880
special teams. 
Then he has the, the really bad 

615
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,000
fumble. 
They stopped using Bigsby on 

616
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,920
special teams. 
And Shipley is playing a lot of 

617
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,840
special teams. 
So it's interesting. 

618
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:14,600
I, I do think that they probably
end up Bigsby is, ends up being 

619
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,880
the 1A, But I, I also agree with
you that Shipley is the favorite

620
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:22,920
to get the passing game stuff. 
My, my hope would be that none 

621
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,280
of this ends up mattering. 
And by the time they're through 

622
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:29,120
the by, Barclay is healthy and 
and we don't have to worry about

623
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,120
this because boy, would it feel 
bad to get buried by Tank Bigsby

624
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,360
in this particular run out, 
Right, Right. 

625
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,520
And I mean just to like in Week 
7, just to just to so the thing 

626
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,800
get lost in in Week 7. 
Before the injury, obviously 

627
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,840
Shipley had eight snaps, Bigsby 
had four offensively. 

628
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,200
So like, I guess what I'm saying
is I think I think there's a 

629
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,640
decent chance. 
It's not like maybe Shipley 

630
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:05,320
isn't a favorite, but it's not 
out of the question, certainly 

631
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,680
that he's a, he's a snap leader,
yeah, with a, say, kind of an 

632
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,240
injury. 
OK. 

633
00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:14,560
We've got a couple, couple 
injuries here to go through on 

634
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,000
running backs that I think open 
up some interesting 

635
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,760
opportunities. 
The next one is Pacheco, Who 

636
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:26,080
sustains a knee injury. 
ACL is intact but I believe 

637
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,920
they're calling him week to week
and it's like. 

638
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,120
An MCL sprain. 
Yeah. 

639
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:36,440
It's hard to know if it's like a
grade one or grade 2, but yeah, 

640
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,800
certainly risk that and that he 
misses time. 

641
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,600
Yeah, I mean he, he hasn't been 
particularly great either. 

642
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:51,360
And they do, you know, they do 
have the quick turn around from 

643
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,480
the Monday game. 
So I wouldn't surprise me to see

644
00:40:54,480 --> 00:41:00,720
him miss the Bills next week. 
And the Bills have been a pretty

645
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:05,040
good match up for running backs.
Now the problem is the running 

646
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:10,240
back that would get more of the,
you know, traditional running 

647
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:13,600
back stuff less of like the 
passing game is Kareem Hunt. 

648
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,080
And I don't really think it 
matters how bad the bills are 

649
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,040
against the run. 
You know, Kareem Hunt might be 

650
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,840
able to get their, you know, 
death by 1003 yard carries, but 

651
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:29,440
I don't think he is the one that
is positioned to punish the 

652
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,120
bills being weak against big 
chunk plays. 

653
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:38,360
So and I I just don't know if 
the Chiefs turn enough over to 

654
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:39,960
Burchard Smith, even with the 
injury. 

655
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:45,880
I mean, my, my heart of hearts 
wants them to but, and I mean, 

656
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,160
I, I don't really know what all 
you can do. 

657
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:52,760
Like if you're listening to stat
chasing in week 8, like you 

658
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,280
probably already have Brashard 
Smith on teams where it makes 

659
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:59,240
sense to have, you know. 
So I don't even know what, what 

660
00:41:59,240 --> 00:42:04,080
this segment is for other than 
like a little bit of opium that,

661
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:06,840
that this is the catalyst that 
we need for the Brashard Smith 

662
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,720
break, right? 
I had to mention it. 

663
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,760
Right. 
I mean, it's kind of crazy where

664
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:17,800
if you look over, if you look 
over the lot, so since week 6, 

665
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:22,040
so 678, they have like similar 
snap counts. 

666
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,520
And I I know you're getting the 
garbage time at Russian times 

667
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:32,280
for Broussard Smith in this, 
He's actually had more carries 

668
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,120
in the last three weeks. 
He's had a similar matter 

669
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:42,320
routes. 
My, my, you know, my, my, what 

670
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:48,480
my brain says is that because 
it's a short turn around, 

671
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:53,560
they'll go with the trusty vet 
that it's like, hey, we just 

672
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,160
need we just need a game before 
Pacheco comes back. 

673
00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:02,760
Kareem Hunt like we're going to 
we're going to work you today. 

674
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,960
And my, my heart says, but they 
really like Richard Smith. 

675
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,840
They've been getting him 
involved more and he's efficient

676
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:18,120
and, and, and, and, and what if,
what if what I want to happen is

677
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,480
the thing that happens? 
My, my, my brain. 

678
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,000
My brain does say though that 
and they're more likely to just 

679
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:28,800
lean on Korean hunt. 
Or, you know, you know what the 

680
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,280
most likely thing is they're 
just going to run through the 

681
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,640
air with Rashi Rice because 
right, they they sure seem to 

682
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,760
like doing that yesterday. 
But we'll we'll talk about Rashi

683
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,760
Rice a little more at the end of
the show that. 

684
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:43,960
Might be good. 
Yeah, you might be. 

685
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,600
OK. 
One last injury to mention that 

686
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,160
I think it's worth monitoring 
and then there's a couple more 

687
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,680
running backs to get through 
Quinch on Judkins ends up with 

688
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:58,680
an AC joint sprain. 
I believe they said he's 

689
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:02,760
day-to-day. 
So it's it's worth watching. 

690
00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:06,760
I think Dylan Sampson is the one
that benefits the most from this

691
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:10,400
because you know Ford Ford has 
never really gotten squeezed out

692
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,760
by either of these guys. 
It's really been Sampson is the 

693
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,800
one that has gotten squeezed 
out. 

694
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,120
But Sampson just looks a lot 
better than Jerome Ford. 

695
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,880
So you I think he benefits the 
most. 

696
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,360
If Judkins were to miss time, 
man. 

697
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,840
Right. 
I think he misses time though, 

698
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,480
I'm told. 
Like it's like a mild sprain. 

699
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,760
OK. 
That AC joints isn't really that

700
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,640
important for running backs 
because like they obviously they

701
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:42,600
don't have to put their hand 
over their head much. 

702
00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:50,360
So I, I, I, I, I, I think 
there's a pretty, it's, it's 

703
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,600
pretty likely that actress 
Prince is playing. 

704
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,280
OK, Well, that's, that's a good 
note there. 

705
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,440
OK. 
The last two notes on running 

706
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:07,560
back that I had, I believe it 
was 4 weeks ago now that you 

707
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,960
proclared your you declared 
Chase Brown dead on the air. 

708
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,120
We had yeah, yeah, the whole 
thing. 

709
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:20,960
But is he back to life now? 
So it doesn't, it doesn't feel 

710
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,520
good to say that. 
And then Chase Brown has his 

711
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,680
best, his probably his best 
month, I think. 

712
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,080
I think when I said that, that 
was what the what's his name? 

713
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:36,200
Jason Brownlee or Browning? 
Yeah. 

714
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:42,320
Jake Browning and and and they 
the offence was just like 

715
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:47,120
totally abysmal, non functional 
and in that environment, he he 

716
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:52,400
was dead, which I think with Joe
Flacco and and and the receiving

717
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:56,000
that they have, the offence 
probably goes a lot closer to 

718
00:45:56,000 --> 00:46:02,080
league average. 
Again, price you paid 2 tree 

719
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,320
turn and and and you're 
splitting. 

720
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:14,600
You're splitting a lot of work 
with P Ryan, like you're you're 

721
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:18,200
not getting out of here with 
like a positive at chase Brown 

722
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,560
advance rate. 
It's it's it's going to be less 

723
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:28,440
than it's going to be less than 
16% for for for sure, But it's 

724
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:31,120
it's a it's, it's a lot. 
It's a lot better than it was 

725
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,400
where you have like a close to 
league average offense. 

726
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,880
You do get some explosives, 
explosive plays from Chase 

727
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,120
Brown. 
All of a sudden you have some 

728
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:45,920
touchdown equity back. 
Although do they steal that? 

729
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,840
He he was losing. 
Didn't you say he was a losing 

730
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,800
goal line work? 
Not not just losing, it's lost, 

731
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:53,760
buddy. 
It's over. 

732
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,560
Like when they're in the Green 
Zone, it's Semaj P Ryan's time 

733
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,640
to shine. 
Like when they're on the goal 

734
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:01,640
line, P Ryan is the one that's 
in there. 

735
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,560
And so, you know, to to defend 
your initial Chase Brown is dead

736
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,320
take. 
I mean, yeah, you get Joe Flacco

737
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,000
in there and he makes the 
offense look a lot better. 

738
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:16,520
But Semaj P Ryan is is the best 
back in this backfield. 

739
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,440
Unfortunately. 
Like I like Chase Brown. 

740
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,400
He's really fun, but he's just 
not right. 

741
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,360
Official. 
Yeah, he's cool. 

742
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,520
He's very cool. 
I'd love I'd love to hang out 

743
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,880
with Chase Brown, you know, but 
Samaj JP Ryan's more efficient 

744
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,080
right now. 
They're giving him the high 

745
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,680
value touches. 
So you're you're getting like 

746
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,160
low value touch Chase Brown on 
the diet Bengals and that's just

747
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:43,360
not I I think this is like an 
awesome sell high spot on Chase 

748
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,880
Brown. 
My other concern would be we've 

749
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,840
seen this before out of Joe 
Flacco. 

750
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,120
We saw it when he was with the 
Browns. 

751
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,320
We saw it when he was with the 
Colts. 

752
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,440
He comes in and he is good for a
spurt. 

753
00:47:56,600 --> 00:48:01,520
But like there's only so much 
juice left in the Joe Flacco 

754
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,520
fruit. 
You know, like you can't really,

755
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:07,360
you're not going to get a full 
season of really good play out 

756
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,960
of Joe Flacco at this point in 
his career. 

757
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,040
And so I I'm just wondering 
like, are we just waiting for 

758
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,040
the other shoe to drop for the 
Bengals where it's like they get

759
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,760
this, you know, little jump 
start, these signs of life, but 

760
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,760
then it starts to go back the 
other way. 

761
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,320
And the often, I mean, prior to 
Joe Flacco getting traded, he 

762
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:32,280
was basically right dead even 
with Jake Browning, as far as 

763
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,720
you know, EPA per game, like the
they both were bad. 

764
00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:39,120
You know, it's not like Joe 
Flacco was lighting the world on

765
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,840
fire with the Browns before he 
gets traded. 

766
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:45,920
So my concern is just that we're
getting the good part now and 

767
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,240
the bad part may still be to 
come, right. 

768
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:54,720
And so I think this is a really 
good time to in in home leagues,

769
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:58,040
like there's always the guy who 
who thinks that he's just the 

770
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,720
smartest guy in the league and 
he's out there trying to buy all

771
00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:04,880
your players low. 
Like this is the the prime time 

772
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,920
for someone to like still be 
shopping for Chase Brown, like 

773
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,560
trying to pick him up. 
Like maybe maybe they don't 

774
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,400
think or they don't realize that
Chase Brown's good now because 

775
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,080
he hasn't he hasn't even put up 
huge fantasy scores yet. 

776
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,720
But I know, you know, I know 
better that Chase Brown is 

777
00:49:19,720 --> 00:49:21,040
actually going to be good. 
Again. 

778
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,000
It's like this is this is where 
you offload Chase Brown. 

779
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:28,120
If you have a a buyer, you know,
go ahead and sell them if you 

780
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,880
can get, you know, $0.90 on the 
dollar, not what if you can get 

781
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:33,360
$0.90 on the dollar what you 
paid. 

782
00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:35,880
Obviously that's a smash, but 
like $0.90 on the dollar of the 

783
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,080
current value of Chase Brown. 
I'm probably happy to do it 

784
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,200
unless I'm just so thin at 
running back that I like need 

785
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,080
the the warm body. 
But for me, he's more of like 

786
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,640
warm body at running back that 
I'm happy to play. 

787
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,080
Like for example, if you have a 
Scataboo team where Scataboo was

788
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,160
one of your starters prior to 
the terrible injury that he 

789
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:58,480
suffered and, and now Chase 
Brown would be your next man up.

790
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,200
And then after that it's all 
guys worse than Chase Brown. 

791
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,120
Then yeah, don't, don't trade 
Chase Brown away unless you're 

792
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,680
getting a running back back or 
something. 

793
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,160
But it seems like a sell window 
to me for Chase Brown. 

794
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,960
I think the sentiment, like the 
the market sentiment on him is 

795
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:15,240
probably higher than it should 
be currently. 

796
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:17,760
Right, right, right, right, 
right. 

797
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,520
Makes sense. 
Makes sense for sure. 

798
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,960
Final running back. 
Note this one's important. 

799
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,760
I I'm a little conflicted on 
this one. 

800
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,320
Woody Marks post a decent stat 
line. 

801
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,320
He's definitely better than Nick
Chubb, but that's like, you 

802
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,840
know, the bar is low there. 
That's like, I can't even can't 

803
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,120
even come up with an analogy 
that's that's appropriate for 

804
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,920
what being better than Nick 
Chubb is like. 

805
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,680
But Woody Marks looks like he's 
probably the fantasy back you'd 

806
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:51,680
prefer to have in the backfield 
and the stat line. 

807
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,040
Just if you're only looking at 
the box score, you're like, oh, 

808
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,880
yeah, 4 for 50 receiving, like 
gets me. 

809
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,480
I think he was like 17 fantasy 
points or something. 

810
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,480
Like looks solid. 
I regret to inform you it's not 

811
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:08,280
the case again, I I watched this
entire Texans 49ers game. 

812
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:14,800
So he has four receptions. 
Of the four receptions, if you 

813
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,760
remove his long reception, what 
do you think his net yardage was

814
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,000
for the three receptions that 
were not his long? 

815
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,920
I think it's like -3 or. 
Something -1 negative 1. 

816
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,320
So he has three receptions for 
no yards. 

817
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,880
They're all, you know, tackles 
for loss or like at the line of 

818
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,640
scrimmage basically. 
And then his only play that 

819
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:39,720
generates the majority of his 
yardage for the day is just a 

820
00:51:39,720 --> 00:51:41,880
totally broken play. 
There's not a defender within a 

821
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,240
single, you know, not a defender
within 10 yards of him when he 

822
00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:48,440
gets the dump off from Stroud 
and he just runs straight. 

823
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,760
And I got to hand it to him. 
He covered a lot of ground 

824
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,800
quickly in space. 
But like, if you look at the 

825
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,920
running backs on this chart 
right here, like, I'm just 

826
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,520
gonna, I'm starting at the top 
and I'm trying to find a running

827
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,440
back who wouldn't have gained 50
yards on that play. 

828
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,160
Yeah. 
No, no, all of them, all of Emir

829
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,960
gained 50 yards because like you
and I probably gained 20, you 

830
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,920
know, like that. 
That's how far away like they're

831
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,640
they're there weren't signs of 
intelligent life anywhere near 

832
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,360
Woody marks on that play. 
So like credit to him for for 

833
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,960
actually getting the yards that 
were there. 

834
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,560
But like that was not a that was
not a let's credit 50 yards to 

835
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,960
Woody Marks kind of play. 
That was like a right place, 

836
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,760
right time. 
Daria Gumbawali gets the 50 

837
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,840
yards if he happens to be on the
field for that one. 

838
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:43,040
So I think the the pro Woody 
Marks thing is, he's the running

839
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,400
back you'd prefer to have in the
Texans backfield. 

840
00:52:45,720 --> 00:52:50,840
The negative for Woody Marks is 
there's like 38 other running 

841
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,120
backs you'd prefer to have over.
So it's still, it's not great, 

842
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,560
but I guess he's, you know, I 
just didn't want the box score 

843
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:01,880
to to lie to anybody. 
But yeah, that's. 

844
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,520
Right. 
I hear what you're saying where 

845
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:07,160
I remember we did the same thing
with the Gus bus run. 

846
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,640
Like I don't think it was was it
last year or the year before 

847
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,160
where he had an incredible game,
but like he literally got the 

848
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:20,440
ball with nobody inside of him 
and it's a good correction to 

849
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,760
make. 
So I think I think he's on the 

850
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,600
right side of A1A1B split. 
Yeah, for sure. 

851
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:33,160
If you look at his next Gen. 
stats he does have positive no 

852
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:38,080
only 22 yards over expected on 
57 attempts. 

853
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:42,880
So he's that's probably better 
classified as he's a, he's right

854
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,040
out of expectation for his rush 
yard. 

855
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:49,640
So what a bad online that's 
probably, that's probably pretty

856
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,680
solid. 
I, I think he's probably like a 

857
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,760
fine player, fine NFL player. 
We like, we came in into the 

858
00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,360
year with the with the 
expectation that he was a really

859
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,680
bad prospect. 
A lot of his prospect profile 

860
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,600
stuff, college stats production 
was bad. 

861
00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:10,600
He seems like a kind of like 
just a replacement level player,

862
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:17,320
which you know, that that's 
still like we, we, we, we've 

863
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,920
made, we've made a lot of money 
on replacement level players 

864
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:24,840
that you, that you get for half,
half nothing and then and you 

865
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,720
get some, you get some numbers 
out of them. 

866
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,160
Yeah, I think that's a good way 
to frame it. 

867
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,680
It's he's the perfect kind of 
player to be really cost 

868
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,160
sensitive on. 
So like for for best ball next 

869
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,840
year, you're gonna get a shake 
up in the Texans backfield. 

870
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,720
There's not gonna be Nick Chubb 
anymore. 

871
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:45,080
Joe Mixon's probably gone, you 
know, if he's not retired by the

872
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,600
end of this year. 
And so the Texans are gonna do 

873
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:52,040
something at running back. 
What I would say is if it's, 

874
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,800
he's. 
Getting Michael Carter, that's 

875
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:56,480
what you're saying? 
Yes, thank you. 

876
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,320
Yeah, he he's like the the 
definition of a churn back where

877
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,920
it's like this guy is gonna be 
crowned the de facto, you know, 

878
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,040
the incumbent. 
And and he might steam up if he 

879
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,880
doesn't steam up what you're 
saying of like, hey, we made a 

880
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,520
lot of money on replacement 
level players. 

881
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,440
If he's a a super late pick 
because they draft some other 

882
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,160
loser, like he could totally 
retain a job as a replacement 

883
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:20,800
level player and be a great 
value. 

884
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,600
But if he steams up to like 7th,
8th round, because it's like, 

885
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,680
well, Woody marks, he's he's 
gonna be the 1A there and he's a

886
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,640
pass catcher, like high value 
touch guy. 

887
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:33,600
That's like a screaming, 
screaming fade for me where I 

888
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:36,520
just I won't touch a player like
that with a 10 foot pole because

889
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,760
it's it's so there's no talent 
mode, you know, like. 

890
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,160
No. 
It it might be a player you've 

891
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,800
literally never heard of before,
like undrafted free agent comes 

892
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,280
in and takes a job or like 
veteran that they sign in week 

893
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,560
four of the regular season comes
in and takes, you know, like it 

894
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:58,360
could be could be all kinds of 
disgusting that displays they do

895
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,480
they really like him. 
So he's got that going. 

896
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,480
On and that's what's going to 
get people in love with him 

897
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,520
there's like I saw there was a 
video of that amigo Ryan was 

898
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,000
like that's your running back 
right there that's your starting

899
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:14,120
running back in in like week 5. 
I can see like that kind of 

900
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:19,280
stuff giving him like a a a 
price and and then also people 

901
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:27,440
know what they traded up to get 
him and but does seem like a 

902
00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:30,760
replacement level running back 
at this point, which is good. 

903
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:32,800
But like you said, no, no talent
mode. 

904
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,320
The the tune can just change on 
those guys on a dime, right 

905
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:40,080
where like, you know, the 
coaching staff loves him and and

906
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,880
he's their guy until you 
literally find anyone that's 

907
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,120
just one iota better than 
replacement level. 

908
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:51,120
And then it's curtains for that 
guy and all the volume that you 

909
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:53,440
thought was going to him is now 
out the window. 

910
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,640
And it actually turns out that 
Dari Goonbawali's the guy they 

911
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,240
prefer and long down in distance
because after a full year with 

912
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:02,600
woody marks, they realize they 
really just prefer Dari. 

913
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:04,560
You know, Dari makes them feel 
more comfortable in pass 

914
00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,920
protection. 
And then you're sitting there 

915
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,800
with seventh round woody marks 
wondering what you've done with 

916
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:13,720
your life. 
I kind of, I kind of keep. 

917
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,360
It though, I just want to be 
clear on what we're saying. 

918
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:22,840
We're saying that in in 2026 
there's a chance that a player 

919
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:28,680
like De Ray just takes his job 
and and, and that you and that's

920
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:32,080
why you should not pay an 8 
round pick for him in 2026. 

921
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,720
Yeah, in 2025 he is probably 
like, you're totally fine. 

922
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,320
Oh no, I don't have any running 
backs. 

923
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,520
I need to fill in someone as a 
starter this week. 

924
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,400
Like you're very happy to plug 
in Woody Marks as a as a 

925
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,880
starting running back. 
You know, he's not your first 

926
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,040
choice, but he's definitely 
better than like crawling 

927
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:53,800
waivers for nobodies, you know, 
but like he's a he's a awesome 

928
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,200
dynasty cell right now. 
Like if you happen to have woody

929
00:57:56,200 --> 00:58:00,640
marks in dynasty, this is like a
the pico top on woody marks. 

930
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,960
Maybe maybe you could if you're 
greedy, you hold him into the 

931
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,400
offseason to like try and write 
out the news cycle for when it's

932
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,320
Woody Marks RV one season. 
You know, the the Texans make it

933
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,920
through the NFL draft. 
They didn't draft anybody and 

934
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,440
everyone's like, Oh my God, it's
Woody Marks to the moon. 

935
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:22,120
Like then that's the Pico top. 
But yeah, he he's a cell 

936
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,800
candidate for me and dynasty. 
But someone where you're you're 

937
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:28,280
not upset if you have to start 
him in in fantasy right now. 

938
00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:31,160
Right. 
Prefer him to Chuck and. 

939
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,080
And so there he is. 
Here's our guy, Woody King. 

940
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:46,280
That's our running back. 
And so we move on to to tight 

941
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,000
ends. 
I mean, don't even bother. 

942
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,960
You had another note, Sorry. 
I I didn't, I was going to say 

943
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,840
don't even bother going back to 
the running back chart, but 

944
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:55,360
Jerry Mcnichols looks kind of 
sick. 

945
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,600
Jerry Mcnichols is at least good
at football. 

946
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,840
Yeah, he's a, he's a, he's a fun
now he's a fun pass catcher. 

947
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,960
Yeah. 
So your first note was Tucker, 

948
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,600
Tucker Craft, where he's just so
efficient. 

949
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,160
Dude, Tucker craft just like 
breaks all the look at look at 

950
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,440
the Tucker craft a dot. 
It's 4.4 targets per route run 

951
00:59:19,480 --> 00:59:22,360
are are good. 
You know, it's not like he's 

952
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,040
still it's lower than Harold 
fannon. 

953
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,600
It's lower than Trey McBride. 
Obviously, you know, it's a it's

954
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:30,880
a solid targets per route run, 
but you know, he's a low A dot 

955
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,120
guy. 
He's like, I don't give a shit 

956
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,320
about low A dot. 
I'm just going to run for 

957
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:39,800
1,000,000 yards after the catch.
He's really, I mean, early in 

958
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,680
his career he got a lot of the 
like, oh, he's like Kittle 

959
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:49,920
junior comp and I so was not 
about that, but he does he he 

960
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,600
doesn't do the downfield stuff 
that Kittle can do, which is why

961
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:54,720
I take such umbrage with that 
comparison. 

962
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:59,080
But man, after the catch Tucker 
Kraft can George Kittle with the

963
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,480
best of him Like he he looked 
pretty awesome. 

964
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,680
He's a yak machine. 
He really is. 

965
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:08,960
He had like in in his monster 
Week 8 game, he had eight 

966
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:13,880
targets, 20 area yards. 
So yeah. 

967
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,880
And I think I'm pretty sure all 
of those area yards came on like

968
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,320
a single target. 
I think it, yeah, I think it 

969
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:20,880
was. 
There was just one target that 

970
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:23,480
was a little, you know, it's 
like an intermediate pass and 

971
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:27,240
everything else is just like 
these little dump offs and it's.

972
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:31,920
Like 15 of it came from one 
target and then like 5 of it was

973
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:35,880
the other 7. 
Last I remember last year, like 

974
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,360
talking with I think it was Pat 
or I can't remember if it was 

975
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,760
Pat or if it was just in the, 
you know, rankings crew. 

976
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:46,120
But it's like, dude, Tucker 
Kraft is like the most Primo 

977
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:47,920
regression candidate of all 
time. 

978
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,480
You're telling me this guy who 
like has no air yards just gets 

979
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,280
here from like guys falling down
around him? 

980
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,440
He's just racking up all this 
yak. 

981
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,120
Like it's such an easy 
regression spot. 

982
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:03,240
Like there's no way this guy 
stays this efficient and he he's

983
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:07,080
just one of the, you know, 
Gretsch all the time talks about

984
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:10,160
like the whole point of this 
game is that you're actually 

985
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,200
trying to find the outliers. 
So like just looking at like, 

986
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:15,800
oh, well, this guy's going to 
regress. 

987
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,600
So like you can't, you can't 
just beat the game doing that 

988
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,960
being like, oh, well, this guy 
is a major outlier. 

989
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,440
So that's not going. 
To work, it's like, it's like 

990
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,080
the Mahomes thing where it's 
like if you take his touchdown 

991
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,680
percentage down the average, the
average, pretend on the average,

992
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,880
this guy is really average. 
You know, the the author of that

993
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,960
Mahomes infamous Mahomes Reddit 
post, that guy was laughing 

994
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,080
straight to the bank over the 
last two years. 

995
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:44,400
But I I hope he cashed in all 
the all the clout that he got 

996
01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:48,480
for the last two years of of the
Mahomes down fantasy production,

997
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,960
because this year Holmes is 
going scorching it. 

998
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,840
Yeah. 
But it's like it's the way 

999
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,240
Tucker Kraft wins is like he's a
yak God. 

1000
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,440
So he he's going to continue 
being yeah, God that that's 

1001
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,080
that's the point. 
And obviously this was a monster

1002
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,800
game for him. 
Like definitely big spike week. 

1003
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:07,480
Spike week. 
He's going to have done games 

1004
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:11,520
too. 
And but and Monster monster 

1005
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:14,720
game. 
Yeah, I'm just, I'm, I'm making 

1006
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,680
a mental note. 
I'm filing in a way that 

1007
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,440
whenever you're trying to like 
project these players going 

1008
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:28,080
forward for a season, efficiency
is really hard to project for, 

1009
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:31,320
for, you know, for the most 
efficient guys, you just never 

1010
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:35,480
like, it seems so wrong. 
You're like, yeah, Devon and 

1011
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:38,720
Channel have 5 yards of carry or
5 1/2 yards of carry. 

1012
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,320
It's totally fine. 
Trust me. 

1013
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,600
Really. 
That's like, that's a pretty big

1014
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,080
number for. 
But for some of those players, 

1015
01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:48,880
you just have to be like, yeah, 
that's just, that's how they do 

1016
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:51,520
it. 
Like, you know, that this is the

1017
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,280
profile. 
You know, it's gonna be an 

1018
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,720
outlier and just get used to it.
It's gonna feel in company. 

1019
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,880
Tucker Kraft is going in that 
mental model for me where it's 

1020
01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:00,960
like, yeah, this guy's just an 
outlier. 

1021
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,920
So when you, you know, are 
projecting him going forward and

1022
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,080
you're like, there's no way this
is right. 

1023
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:10,000
This seems so crazy given the 
underlying metrics, just like 

1024
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,880
remember that it's actually OK 
because he's he's one of those 

1025
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,160
guys where it's like, yeah, the 
efficiency is just weird for 

1026
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,680
him. 
He's just crazy efficient. 

1027
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:23,600
That's what he does. 
So yeah, Tucker Kraft monster 

1028
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:28,800
game definitely helped me helped
me come correct on him. 

1029
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,840
The other the other guy that I 
think fantasy gamers need to 

1030
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,320
come correct on Harold Fannon, 
the breakout is here. 

1031
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:38,240
I don't know if you know this 
Trico. 

1032
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,240
Do you know which pass catcher 
on the Browns currently leads 

1033
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:45,400
them in receiving yards? 
It's probably Harold Fannon. 

1034
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,240
Probably, Comfortably, it's 
Harold. 

1035
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:51,520
Fannon So I'm pretty sure Harold
Fannon is the odds on favorite 

1036
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,680
to lead the Browns in 
receptions, receiving yards and 

1037
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,080
touchdowns by the end of the 
season. 

1038
01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:00,880
Like I don't think it's 
particularly close for anybody 

1039
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:04,080
else. 
Like he's he is definitely the 

1040
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,120
dude going forward. 
Then Joku trade rumors, they 

1041
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,440
cooled down for a little bit, 
but I saw some stuff I think it 

1042
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:17,120
was just yesterday that there 
may still be interest to move 

1043
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:20,440
him at the deadline. 
And I, I do think it makes sense

1044
01:04:20,520 --> 01:04:24,280
for the Browns, like you just 
need you need to build going 

1045
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,840
forward and and having Ninjoku, 
I mean, unless you're gonna 

1046
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:29,440
extend him like doesn't really 
do anything for you. 

1047
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:34,600
So it would not shock me at all.
I I know it's gotten a little 

1048
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:37,760
quieter lately, but it wouldn't 
shock me to see ninjoku move. 

1049
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,440
And if that happens, it's like 
Harold Fan and all you can eat 

1050
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:44,040
buffet. 
Not not even really that Ninjoku

1051
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:49,880
is so much direct competition 
for him, but just that I, I 

1052
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:55,040
think they would force him to do
yeah, he he would have to do a 

1053
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,840
little bit more like this. 
You know, percent of team drop 

1054
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,600
backs is just going to go up for
him a little bit there. 

1055
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:07,240
So he was at 74% in week 8 and 
that that's where in Joku. 

1056
01:05:07,240 --> 01:05:13,520
So in Joku was down to 58%. 
And so Harold Fannon, he led the

1057
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:19,160
tight ends in in rats last week.
And interestingly enough, Harold

1058
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:23,040
Fannon was also ahead in in line
and snaps taken from in line 

1059
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:29,160
tight ends. 
So at least in week 8, it was 

1060
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:32,120
like para found in 1A and Joku 
1B. 

1061
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:36,840
I, I, I, I I feel a little bit 
of caution as to hey, was that 

1062
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:41,720
because of the fact that the in 
Joku injury and they're just 

1063
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:43,960
like kind of testing the waters 
a bit. 

1064
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:49,360
And but certainly, certainly 
watching out if that continues 

1065
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:54,560
next week with with 
anticipation, hopefully that 

1066
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:59,320
continues and, and and Bannon 
has has is, is well on his way 

1067
01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:02,640
to a takeover. 
If if that does, if that is what

1068
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,920
happens, like they almost 
certainly have to trade him at 

1069
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,680
this point, right? 
Yeah, I, I don't think that 

1070
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,360
Ninjoku snaps were because of 
injury because they still had 

1071
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,160
him in the game very late. 
In fact, he catches the garbage 

1072
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,320
time touchdown for the Browns at
the end. 

1073
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,520
So if this was a situation 
where, oh, this is a player that

1074
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,840
we really are just trying to 
work in, we don't want to get a 

1075
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,360
ton of snaps for him. 
We're just easing him back as 

1076
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,320
part of for the return to play. 
You don't have him in at the end

1077
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,800
of the game when you're down, 
you know, whatever it was. 

1078
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:33,320
How? 
Do you not trade in Joku if he's

1079
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,120
your tight end too? 
I mean, that's my the other 

1080
01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:40,000
thing is like, you put the guy 
in and you, you force a 

1081
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,560
touchdown to him in garbage time
to show that he's right. 

1082
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:44,920
You know, like, hey, look, he's,
he's fine, he's healthy. 

1083
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,920
Don't worry about it. 
Like to me, I'm I'm getting the 

1084
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,880
end. 
Just all the bread crumbs from 

1085
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,880
way back in August to now, you 
know, there there's been enough 

1086
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,120
smoke. 
There's definitely some fire 

1087
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:04,120
there that that I think in Joku,
I think it's I would I'm 

1088
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,040
struggling to say it's more 
likely than not that he gets 

1089
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:10,560
moved just because nothing ever 
happens. 

1090
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,480
You know, you can take take 
nothing ever happens to the bank

1091
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,080
so often. 
But I mean, like, if you put 

1092
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:22,000
yourself in the brown shoes, 
moving in Joku is so so I mean, 

1093
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,160
dude, for a for anything, moving
in Joku for 1/5 is a huge win 

1094
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,480
for you, right? 
Like that's gonna turn what's 

1095
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,320
gonna happen this season is like
nothing of consequence by 

1096
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,040
keeping David and Joku. 
Like does he? 

1097
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,120
He doesn't help you win or lose 
any additional games. 

1098
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,840
You know he if when David and 
Joku is out the line doesn't 

1099
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:46,160
move the Browns win probability 
doesn't change in the game. 

1100
01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:48,560
So like that doesn't do anything
right? 

1101
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,640
And I don't even know if the if 
the if the pick they they get 

1102
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:58,000
from like the compensatory pick,
like not you only get those 

1103
01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:01,160
picks if your free agents sign 
leasing contracts. 

1104
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,560
Like I don't even know what the 
the market value for a joke is. 

1105
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:13,160
And, and in terms of like what, 
what, what does, what contract 

1106
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,040
does somebody sign in Joku to in
2026? 

1107
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:21,840
Yeah, let's see is there so it's
based on their new their new 

1108
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:27,319
contract average value, the 
percentage of snaps they play 

1109
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:38,590
with their new team. 
Yeah, yeah, I think. 

1110
01:08:38,670 --> 01:08:41,910
I mean, if I'm if I'm the 
Browns, you're. 

1111
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,240
You're not anticipating in 
compensatory. 

1112
01:08:45,399 --> 01:08:49,520
No, no, you, you want the bird 
in the hand rather than the I 

1113
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:53,319
mean, based on what I'm seeing 
here, you're looking at like .3 

1114
01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:55,800
birds in the Bush, you know, 
like you're not guaranteed a 

1115
01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:59,240
comp pick. 
So you definitely they're very 

1116
01:08:59,240 --> 01:09:01,720
incentivized to trade him is is 
the thing. 

1117
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,840
Right, right, right, right. 
And they're not. 

1118
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,319
I mean I. 
Feel like we've been talking 

1119
01:09:06,319 --> 01:09:11,840
about this all that all 8 
episodes of that 2025 S chasing 

1120
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,640
but when it happens, Oh my God. 
Yeah, it's almost like we have a

1121
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,600
bias towards Harold fan and like
maybe we drafted a ton of them 

1122
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:20,880
or something. 
Got it. 

1123
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:24,160
Draco, I just want you to like 
from from being behind the 

1124
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,920
scenes in in the rankings chat 
all summer. 

1125
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:30,800
Like pretend that we lived in a 
universe where none of us 

1126
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,720
checked Pat on this fan and 
stuff the whole because for in 

1127
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:39,279
early in the you know, like 
April May, like we're all 

1128
01:09:39,279 --> 01:09:42,200
pouring cold water all over Pat 
for the fan and stuff. 

1129
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:46,479
Like dude, no, the like Harold 
Fannon is not gonna be like 

1130
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:48,160
you're way too high on Harold 
Fannon. 

1131
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,840
He's not gonna be a thing. 
We get it. 

1132
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,319
He's fun, he's cool, but like 
just know, what if we lived in 

1133
01:09:53,319 --> 01:09:57,640
the universe where Pat we just 
we got the unadulterated Pat 

1134
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,840
ranking of Harold Fannon and we 
just, I mean, we'd all have 100%

1135
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,840
like we'd have a literal 100% 
Harold Fannon. 

1136
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,480
It would be so. 
Funny, the only reason I don't 

1137
01:10:07,480 --> 01:10:12,600
have like close to 100% is 
because he started going in like

1138
01:10:12,600 --> 01:10:15,840
the 12th round or something like
crazy like that in late in the 

1139
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,000
year. 
We did go going into FFPC. 

1140
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,240
On Harold Fannon, yeah, we had 
going into August, I think I 

1141
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:28,280
had, like I I said, 100%. 
I think I had like 50 or 60%. 

1142
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,400
Yeah, I think we were. 
I think we were 60% Harold 

1143
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:34,280
Fannin in in August and then 
then he started to get away from

1144
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,600
us. 
I think we ended up around like 

1145
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:40,400
40% or something like that. 
But man, we we truly could have 

1146
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,600
it. 
It's funny, but like I'm I'm not

1147
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,080
exaggerating the slightest when 
I say that if Pat had his way 

1148
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,120
and none of us poured cold water
on his Harold Fannon process, we

1149
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:53,920
would have 100. 
If you were a leg up sub, you 

1150
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:58,040
would have 100% Harold Fannon 
because Pat would have had us 

1151
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,840
taking him in like the basically
like as soon as Dalton Kincaid 

1152
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,480
was off the board, I think it 
was Harold Fannon time in Pat's 

1153
01:11:04,480 --> 01:11:08,200
mind. 
So that's a refrain you would 

1154
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:08,600
have got. 
Him. 

1155
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:12,240
And that was correct. 
Yeah, yes, it was, dude. 

1156
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:17,240
I Yeah, I just, I've learned to 
never doubt Pat's rookie tight 

1157
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:19,600
end rankings from the man who 
brought you undrafted, Sam 

1158
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,120
Laporta. 
I mean, he tried to bring Harold

1159
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:25,400
Bannon to the people and he 
succeeded, but man, there were 

1160
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,360
trials of tribulations for him 
along the way. 

1161
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:32,520
All right, the last hit in note 
that I had, again, not a ton of 

1162
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,360
change here, although I do 
realize I need to pull Darren 

1163
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,320
Waller off this chart now as he 
is on IR. 

1164
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:44,800
But the Darren Waller is a good 
segue into another old dusty 

1165
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,360
tight end. 
But this old dusty tight end 

1166
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:51,360
still had enough in the tank to 
put up a pretty big spike week. 

1167
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:54,560
And that's Travis Kelsey still 
sitting there with 20% targets 

1168
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,000
per route run, although I'd 
expect that to fall in the 

1169
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,080
coming weeks as we get more 
Rashi. 

1170
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,160
But yeah, Travis Kelsey, I put 
in the notes. 

1171
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,360
The old man still has it, but 
not really. 

1172
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,440
He's just attached to one of the
best offenses in the league. 

1173
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:12,560
It was not really a a Travis 
Kelsey game. 

1174
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,400
In fact, Travis Kelsey was like 
part of the reason the Chiefs 

1175
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:20,640
got off to such a bad start. 
He pops up a great pass, passes 

1176
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,440
right on the money, He 
volleyball sets it to the 

1177
01:12:23,440 --> 01:12:26,600
defender, turns it into an 
interception early in the game, 

1178
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,040
but doesn't matter, Chief still 
keep him involved. 

1179
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,400
Ends up with a touchdown late a 
couple big plays. 

1180
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:38,000
So Kelsey's still able to 
produce like a high end tight 

1181
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,680
end one for fantasy. 
I just think it's going to be 

1182
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:45,400
pretty few and far between and 
and volatile with Rice here. 

1183
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,800
But it's it's so much just 
driven by the fact that you're 

1184
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,520
on the Kansas City Chiefs. 
This team's going to score a 

1185
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,680
bunch and and very much not like
Travis Kelce's still got some 

1186
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,160
left in the tank. 
Like there's not anything left 

1187
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:01,040
in the tank, but the fumes are 
enough to score well for 

1188
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,640
fantasy. 
It's kind of wild. 

1189
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:09,840
So he's still tight end 10 in 
their yards like and obviously 

1190
01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:14,000
that that's like for at at at 
tight end of Travis Kelce's elk 

1191
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,920
and caliber tight end 10 in your
yards is garbage. 

1192
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:24,240
But just given how washed he is,
like that's like that's kind of 

1193
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:28,920
pretty good. 
And where is he? 

1194
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:33,880
He's in terms of targets, he's 
tied in seven. 

1195
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,640
So like I, I guess like probably
like he's, he's firmly in the 

1196
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:44,960
mid tier tight end 1 range. 
And and like you're saying it, 

1197
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:49,720
it's just because he plays 
Mahomes and and that's probably,

1198
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,760
he's probably going to trend 
towards tight end 12 with all 

1199
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:56,880
the rushing stuff. 
Yep, he'll be. 

1200
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,400
He'll probably be overdrafted in
playoff basketball and it'll 

1201
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:06,640
probably kill me. 
I, I anticipate having a big 

1202
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,040
faint on Travis Kelsey in 
playoff basketball because the 

1203
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,440
price is so ludicrous. 
And then it's going to be the 

1204
01:14:11,440 --> 01:14:14,360
Super Bowl. 
I've got a gang of Chiefs teams.

1205
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,320
I got them all. 
I got all the Chiefs. 

1206
01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:20,080
I'm just so woefully 
underexposed to Travis Kelsey, 

1207
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,880
who has a send off game in the 
Super Bowl for 3 touchdowns as 

1208
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:27,040
he and Taylor Swift right off 
into the sunset on her private 

1209
01:14:27,040 --> 01:14:30,480
jet with his, you know, final 
Super Bowl trophy. 

1210
01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:35,080
Defence balls out gets the gets 
the Chiefs to the two and 

1211
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,560
they're like this is the legacy 
Travis Kelsey game get him the. 

1212
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:43,120
Ball Travis Kelsey shovel 
passes, you know, out the ass. 

1213
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,440
So you're just getting all the 
all the manufactured bullshit 

1214
01:14:46,440 --> 01:14:49,920
Travis Kelsey touchdowns. 
Yeah, I can see it so clearly in

1215
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:54,840
my mind's eye that you know I. 
I let him do to Travis Kelsey, 

1216
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,400
just find the soft spot in the 
zone play. 

1217
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:02,880
Oh, I'm, I'm literally, I'm 
already tilting over playoff 

1218
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,600
basketball teams I haven't even 
drafted yet because I just know 

1219
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,560
that Travis Kelce is gonna bury 
me because there's no shot. 

1220
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:10,600
There's no shot. 
The market prices him 

1221
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,520
appropriately. 
He's gonna go so overdrafted. 

1222
01:15:14,440 --> 01:15:16,920
But it won't it won't matter at 
all. 

1223
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,960
All right, I think that's all 
the tight end notes I have. 

1224
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:21,520
Let's get to the wide receiver 
charts. 

1225
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:31,120
Sorry, yeah, we don't need to 
talk about any of these losers. 

1226
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:40,360
Not not a ton to change here, 
not not a lot of big changes in 

1227
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,160
wide receiver. 
You know, there's only so many 

1228
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,960
times that we can talk about the
ambiguity of the Chargers wide 

1229
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,440
receiver room. 
I think like previous analysis 

1230
01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:58,040
still stands there, you know, 
JSN Chase, the Cowboys are are 

1231
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,080
still who they are. 
The ones that I had notes on 

1232
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:06,240
that were I think worth 
discussing a little bit is Chris

1233
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:10,800
Olave, who I believe leads the 
league in targets right now, 

1234
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,720
gets the quarterback change to 
Tyler Shuck. 

1235
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:16,920
So Rattler has been great for 
him. 

1236
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,800
And I know, I know the 
perception might not be that 

1237
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:24,080
it's been great, but it's been 
pretty darn good, man, I, I 

1238
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:24,680
know. 
Yeah. 

1239
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:27,400
You know, relative to how many 
targets he's been getting, it 

1240
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,680
feels like a lot of meat's left 
on the bone or like, you wish 

1241
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:33,640
that there had been more. 
But like all things considered, 

1242
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:35,480
it's been pretty good for Chris 
Olava. 

1243
01:16:35,480 --> 01:16:37,360
Yeah, it's been solid. 
It's been solid. 

1244
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:42,400
What do you think about? 
Is a disaster, absolute 

1245
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:50,120
disaster. 
So Spencer Rattler, he had 21 

1246
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:55,480
pass attempts and he played his 
worst game of the year and he 

1247
01:16:55,480 --> 01:16:58,680
had 4.3 adjusted yards per 
attempt. 

1248
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:05,640
Tyler Shock, he had 30 pass 
attempts and he had 2.8 yards 

1249
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:10,880
adjusted yards per attempt. 
So like meaningfully worse than 

1250
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,640
Rattler's worst game of the 
year. 

1251
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:20,680
I am given how bad we already 
expected Chuck to be and 

1252
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,840
disaster I I do my. 
The one consolation is I think 

1253
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:31,960
he's so bad that they can't like
possibly stick with Chuck for 

1254
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,960
very long. 
I think it goes back to Rattler 

1255
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:41,960
pretty soon. 
I, I mean, I can see an outcome 

1256
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:47,480
where it goes back to Rattler, 
but I feel like with how few 

1257
01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:53,040
games are left in the season, 
you know, you, you probably, I 

1258
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,240
think they got it right. 
That you want to give Chuck a 

1259
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:56,520
leash? 
That's what you're telling me. 

1260
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,600
Yeah, you want to, you want to 
ride with it because you need to

1261
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,840
know like definitively I. 
Think that. 

1262
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:07,400
You you very well could be 
right. 

1263
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,480
He so that's I think that's 
actually a really good point 

1264
01:18:10,480 --> 01:18:14,680
that if Chuck's really, really 
bad, you get back to Rattler. 

1265
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:18,080
And I think that's actually like
very good analysis with respect 

1266
01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:23,200
to what it means for Crystal 
Labe where the floor it it's not

1267
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:27,200
actually possible for the floor 
to be all that low because if it

1268
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:30,680
really is the worst outcome, you
get back to Rattler, which has 

1269
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,200
been good. 
And so I mean the way. 

1270
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:37,480
I'm looking at this it's heads 
Chuck is proves me wrong and he 

1271
01:18:37,480 --> 01:18:40,720
actually does similar to Rattler
for tails. 

1272
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,880
He's so bad they go back to. 
Rattler that you get you get 

1273
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:43,720
Rattler back. 
Yeah. 

1274
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,840
So this is a this is a keep a 
close eye on it. 

1275
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:51,120
And and as you come up on trade 
deadlines in, you know, fantasy 

1276
01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:55,040
home leagues like Chris Olavi is
probably a screaming buy for me 

1277
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,240
if you get a couple bad Shuck 
games, right. 

1278
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,200
That's that's one where I just 
want to go ahead and embrace 

1279
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:05,360
that variance and, and say, Hey,
I, I've got my third eye open on

1280
01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,280
this one. 
Either Shuck gets better and, 

1281
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,360
and Olave gets better or they 
got to go back to Rattler and it

1282
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:15,480
gets better for Olave. 
So I think overall, like your 

1283
01:19:15,480 --> 01:19:19,720
sentiment then has to be net 
bullish for Olave because like 

1284
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,840
it's either neutral because like
you're, you're going to get back

1285
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,880
to Rattler eventually. 
And like, sure, you're going to 

1286
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,240
miss a couple games of 
production potentially in in 

1287
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:30,240
that journey, but by the time 
you get to the money weeks, then

1288
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:35,080
you're back to what you had. 
And then there is the upside 

1289
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,320
where you end up with Shuck 
being good or, or at the very 

1290
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:42,120
least, like Shuck could even be 
bad and be good for a lobby, 

1291
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:45,120
right? 
He could be he he's a little 

1292
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,240
Jameisy in in that like he 
doesn't have anywhere near the 

1293
01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:53,920
arm talent as Jameis Winston. 
He's he's, he's not as good as 

1294
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:58,400
him, but he's, he's willing to 
huck it downfield, you know, and

1295
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:02,720
just do stuff that. 
Seems bad but but could be fun 

1296
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,720
for fantasy. 
So I think it's net bullish for 

1297
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:09,040
Olave, even even though I think 
we both agree that shucks, very 

1298
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,240
likely bad, but that's the most 
likely outcome. 

1299
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:16,240
Yeah, we we have this agreement 
that he does have draft it 

1300
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,120
stayed it's round two capital. 
So I don't think that's like 

1301
01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,200
particularly strong. 
They they they they they want to

1302
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,520
see what they have. 
But I'm, I'm honestly, he, he 

1303
01:20:26,520 --> 01:20:31,360
was so bad. 
And like you, you who's the 

1304
01:20:31,440 --> 01:20:33,920
who's the guy that the Ravens 
started a couple weeks ago? 

1305
01:20:34,440 --> 01:20:37,160
Oh, Cooper Rush, yeah. 
Cooper Rush he he was. 

1306
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,520
Well, I look forward to Tyler 
Shuck breaking my chart next 

1307
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:47,600
week. 
And OK, the other receiver I had

1308
01:20:47,600 --> 01:20:50,000
a note on also with a 
quarterback change. 

1309
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:51,720
So that's the theme for this 
chart here. 

1310
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,000
Ted McMillan, we get him with 
Andy Dalton. 

1311
01:20:56,080 --> 01:21:00,600
He posts a good stat line I 
believe finishes with like 7 for

1312
01:21:00,600 --> 01:21:03,960
99 yards or some something in 
that neck of the woods. 

1313
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:06,000
I know, I know. 
He finished that 99 yards. 

1314
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,840
People were very disappointed. 
People were tilting. 

1315
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:10,320
He didn't get the 100 yard 
bonus. 

1316
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,040
Yeah, he looked, he looked good 
to me. 

1317
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,480
There were a couple plays where 
Andy Dalton looked pretty bad. 

1318
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:21,680
So that was, you know, you're 
always, you're hopeful because 

1319
01:21:21,680 --> 01:21:24,760
Bryce Young had been so bad that
like, well, Andy Dalton 

1320
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,440
certainly can't be worse. 
And he doesn't look worse. 

1321
01:21:27,440 --> 01:21:30,000
He just looks like a different 
kind of bad than Bryce Young is 

1322
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,800
bad. 
You know, it's just like. 

1323
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:35,240
Yeah, The the thing I've heard 
and it seems true to me that 

1324
01:21:35,240 --> 01:21:38,920
with these veteran quarterbacks,
they know what side their brat 

1325
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:42,520
is buttered on. 
They know like, hey, if I want 

1326
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:44,720
to play more, I got to trove to 
the good guys. 

1327
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:49,160
Forget about my progression, my 
reads, my read is I trove to the

1328
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:53,200
good player. 
And I, I think, I think he did 

1329
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:58,520
that like this was in terms of 
targets per out run for, for, 

1330
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:02,440
for Team Mike, this is so he was
29% targets per out run. 

1331
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,960
He had a 36% game, but he was 
mostly around that in he was 

1332
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:19,040
like in week 7 he was 15%, week 
619%, he had a 24% in week 519%.

1333
01:22:19,520 --> 01:22:23,320
Week two he was 19%. 
Week 1, he was 23%. 

1334
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:29,080
So I, I, I do think you get, you
get that element where Andy 

1335
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,880
Dalton now understands the 
assignment, get the ball to 

1336
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:35,880
teammate in a way that I don't 
think Bryce Young is as on board

1337
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,200
with. 
Yeah, I, I think that's fair. 

1338
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:43,280
It's, I mean, watching, watching
Dalton play though was a little,

1339
01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,400
it's just a bit of a butt down 
because because you're like, 

1340
01:22:46,440 --> 01:22:49,400
you're just optimistic that you 
know, you're, you're picking 

1341
01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:53,000
Jelly beans out of a birdie 
bot's every flavored bean box 

1342
01:22:53,320 --> 01:22:56,560
and you just finished, you know,
you've been eating the Bryce 

1343
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:58,400
Young flavored Jelly Bean for 
weeks. 

1344
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,800
And then you grab the Andy 
Dalton 1 and it looks like it 

1345
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:05,040
could be butterscotch, but it's 
actually vomit and you're just 

1346
01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,520
really disappointed. 
That's kind of how I felt about 

1347
01:23:08,520 --> 01:23:11,080
this one. 
So I don't think that it's like 

1348
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:15,880
a a huge boost to to tat like I 
I thought that was in the range 

1349
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,280
where it's just a massive boost 
for him because it's it's 

1350
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:20,680
competent quarterback play. 
But I don't think you get 

1351
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,480
competent quarterback play. 
I just think you get slightly 

1352
01:23:23,480 --> 01:23:26,840
different bad quarterback play, 
but that's probably. 

1353
01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:28,600
You get more volume, but not. 
A little, yeah. 

1354
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,120
It's a little better for TAT, 
right? 

1355
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:33,480
So maybe not necessarily better 
for the team, but certainly 

1356
01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:36,560
better for TAT. 
In the, in the main event that I

1357
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:42,600
have with Daniel and and Kyle, 
we were starting the the Buffalo

1358
01:23:42,600 --> 01:23:46,360
defense last week and obviously 
we had a good day. 

1359
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:51,880
But the one I the one the one 
player I remember is they're in 

1360
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:56,240
they're in field goal range. 
And I'm worried that the the 

1361
01:23:56,240 --> 01:24:01,840
Panthers will get the will get 
the field goal but and before 

1362
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:03,760
the half. 
So that obviously the the points

1363
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:08,080
against decreases your defenses 
points, but they get the sack 

1364
01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,160
and Andy Dalton and they're not 
able to get the field though 

1365
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:12,840
that was. 
Such a brutal play. 

1366
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:14,920
That was a terrible, terrible 
sack. 

1367
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:16,800
Yeah. 
I enjoyed the hell. 

1368
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,320
Did you, did you see? 
So that was one of the worst 

1369
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,560
ones. 
That was like as far as Andy 

1370
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,480
Dalton plays where I'm like, Oh 
yeah, never mind. 

1371
01:24:24,480 --> 01:24:27,600
This is this is really bad. 
That was one of the worst. 

1372
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:32,080
Did you see the play where Ted 
has all the space in the world 

1373
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:35,240
to the sideline? 
Like he is wide ass open. 

1374
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,440
You just need to put the ball 
anywhere in bounds between Tet 

1375
01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:40,360
and the sideline and it's a 
catch, right? 

1376
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:45,400
And instead so he's breaking out
and instead Andy Dalton puts it 

1377
01:24:45,400 --> 01:24:48,600
behind him, which is right to 
the defender. 

1378
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,720
And it like by the grace of God,
ends up not being an 

1379
01:24:51,720 --> 01:24:53,960
interception. 
It's like Jesus Christ, man, 

1380
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,720
like miss anywhere else. 
Miss anywhere but the way that 

1381
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:01,040
you missed. 
And yeah, so they're those two 

1382
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:04,320
plays stuck out to me as like, 
oh, man. 

1383
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:08,760
OK, so I don't think the Bryce 
Young soft benching lasts all 

1384
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:10,120
that long. 
Right, right. 

1385
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,280
What did you say last week? 
2 Andy Dalton's away. 

1386
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,600
Dude, you were so you were so 
prescient on that. 

1387
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:20,640
Like, I really, I thought we 
could get a lot more Andy 

1388
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:25,760
Dalton, but you dude, there's 
sometimes your your Gadsden call

1389
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:27,520
you're you're 2 Andy Daltons 
away. 

1390
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,920
Sometimes you are just 
absolutely dialed in. 

1391
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,000
So I got to give you your. 
I appreciate that I I got to 

1392
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,640
make up for it when when my 
garbage takes so I. 

1393
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:39,160
Oh man. 
OK. 

1394
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:41,520
I think that's all the receivers
I want to talk about on this 

1395
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:42,760
chart. 
There's actually a couple guys 

1396
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:49,440
on the the 70 to 85% route run 
chart that I start being broken.

1397
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:54,040
It's so funny to me. 
Yeah, when I mean, well, Puka, 

1398
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,040
Puka should be back this next 
week. 

1399
01:25:56,360 --> 01:26:00,600
Hopefully we get him to graduate
to the full timers chart so he 

1400
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:07,760
can stop breaking this chart. 
But yeah, Puka, you know, 

1401
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,640
totally, totally skewing this 
chart. 

1402
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:13,080
But a guy that I think had a 
really, really strong first game

1403
01:26:13,080 --> 01:26:16,960
back and could have some room to
the upside just. 

1404
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,680
Based on he's, he's gonna be on 
this chart for a while. 

1405
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:22,320
He's he's only on 81%, right? 
Sure. 

1406
01:26:22,560 --> 01:26:26,880
No. 
Well, another guy who's gonna be

1407
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:30,160
on this chart for a a while is 
Terry Mclaurin cuz he just 

1408
01:26:30,160 --> 01:26:33,240
hasn't hasn't played very many 
games and he's down here at, you

1409
01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:36,480
know, lower than 80% route. 
So he's got a got a little ways 

1410
01:26:36,480 --> 01:26:39,520
to go. 
But Terry Mclaurin looked great 

1411
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:46,480
in his first game back, has two 
spectacular like 2 catches that 

1412
01:26:46,480 --> 01:26:49,520
both were good enough to be like
wow, catch of the week level 

1413
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:54,000
catches, just acrobatic, like 
sideline, incredible, incredible

1414
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,080
concentration. 
Looked really, really good. 

1415
01:26:57,600 --> 01:26:59,720
Right? 
Kind of at the time where we're 

1416
01:26:59,720 --> 01:27:02,120
getting Debo starting to wane a 
little bit. 

1417
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,880
You know, you had the really 
strong start to the season for 

1418
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,840
Debo and and now that's that's 
sort of fading back. 

1419
01:27:09,440 --> 01:27:11,720
He he just, you know, he 
couldn't keep that going for all

1420
01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:15,200
that long. 
I think that if you get Jane 

1421
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,160
Daniels back and Terry Mclaurin 
healthy, we might be in. 

1422
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:22,960
We might have some of those like
classic Terry Mclaurin spike 

1423
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,320
weeks in store that we saw from 
last season. 

1424
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:29,760
The commanders need it, man. 
The commanders really need it 

1425
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:33,800
like badly badly. 
I mean they need they need some 

1426
01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,440
stuff to help the run game out a
lot 'cause it's it's looked 

1427
01:27:36,440 --> 01:27:38,600
pretty bad these last couple 
weeks without Daniels. 

1428
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,520
So that deep threat to like take
the top off the defense and open

1429
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:48,440
up space underneath cause the, 
the horizontal raid is just not,

1430
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:52,880
not working very much right now.
Like when, when teams aren't 

1431
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,040
scared, the horizontal raid is 
nice because it spreads teams 

1432
01:27:56,040 --> 01:27:58,120
out and creates a lot of space, 
right? 

1433
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,080
But if they don't have to worry 
about the deep pass, then 

1434
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:03,840
they're really not all that 
spread out. 

1435
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,000
They're just spread out. 
Horizontal, everybody just 

1436
01:28:06,000 --> 01:28:09,480
shades down the. 
Horizontal raid works because in

1437
01:28:09,480 --> 01:28:13,360
general, teams really care about
not giving up the explosive play

1438
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:16,800
now in the NFL and they'll keep 
2 safeties deep just by like 

1439
01:28:16,800 --> 01:28:21,360
that is the default, you know? 
And so when those safeties 

1440
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:24,680
aren't threatened, then the 
horizontal raid really starts 

1441
01:28:24,680 --> 01:28:29,520
to, starts to look a lot worse. 
So just like we, we actually, we

1442
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:33,720
talked about kind of a different
phenomenon, but similar in that,

1443
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:37,840
oh, this team really needs this 
player or this type of, you 

1444
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,160
know, help. 
We talked about the Patriots 

1445
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:44,560
really need pass catcher help. 
And so that was the thesis for 

1446
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:47,920
maybe Kyle Williams could get 
some work that didn't work out. 

1447
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,400
The Patriots resolved that issue
by Drake may just being the 

1448
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,080
literal best quarterback in the 
league. 

1449
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:54,200
So it doesn't matter. 
He's just like, Nope, don't 

1450
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:55,640
don't really need any wide 
receiver help. 

1451
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,480
Actually, I'm fine on my own. 
You just whoever is out there it

1452
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:02,200
it'll work. 
So we're we're at a similar fork

1453
01:29:02,200 --> 01:29:04,720
in the road for the commanders 
where it's like they really need

1454
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:07,920
vertical help. 
And God, Terry Mclaurin is like 

1455
01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:10,440
the only guy, he's the only man 
for the job. 

1456
01:29:10,440 --> 01:29:14,080
So by necessity kind of seems 
like a good spot for him. 

1457
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,160
So he's one I wanted to to kind 
of call out going forward. 

1458
01:29:17,480 --> 01:29:19,760
No, that's that's a good shout. 
I appreciate that shout. 

1459
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,480
That is a good and and he's been
playing well. 

1460
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:28,840
Obviously he had to leave the 
other game with the injury and 

1461
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,600
they were easing him back in at 
last night, but he he he's 

1462
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:37,040
playing really well. 
OK, Draco, I'm actually 

1463
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:41,360
conflicted on this second note 
that I have in our show notes 

1464
01:29:41,960 --> 01:29:46,160
because we did talk about this 
being a spot to attack last 

1465
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,560
week. 
But then, you know, there's the 

1466
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,000
bye week and so kind of goes 
under the radar. 

1467
01:29:51,440 --> 01:29:54,760
I still want to jam the hell out
of this spot this week. 

1468
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:58,560
And I'm I'm almost like, Nah, if
you care, you listened last 

1469
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,880
week, you already know. 
Go ahead and just say nothing. 

1470
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,440
Just let this guy go under the 
radar. 

1471
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:06,760
I don't, I don't think that's 
what we're supposed to do. 

1472
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,400
Yeah, I think that's I think 
that's bad podcasting. 

1473
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:12,680
So Travis Hunter, just a 
friendly reminder to the loyal 

1474
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,640
listeners out there, this is 
like the input volatility spot 

1475
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:18,560
of. 
All you make it to minute and 

1476
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:21,400
90, I'm stop chasing. 
You deserve a little nugget. 

1477
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:23,160
Yeah, a little. 
Nugget. 

1478
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,240
You can have a little Travis 
Hunter alpha as a treat. 

1479
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:31,040
Week minute 90 and weekly You 
can, you can. 

1480
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,720
Yeah, yeah, for all for all 8 of
you that are actually listening 

1481
01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,040
at minute 90 week 8 of stat 
chasing, go ahead and throw 

1482
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:41,760
something in the comments and 
and thank us for this juicy 

1483
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:46,240
Travis Hunter alpha. 
But yeah, he listen, this is the

1484
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,520
input volatility spot because 
you have a number one like the 

1485
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,600
routes are it's very likely 
going to be his season high in 

1486
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:55,760
routes route rate again, because
it's it's been trending up. 

1487
01:30:56,040 --> 01:31:00,360
They're coming out of the by. 
You absolutely cannot have had 

1488
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:04,880
the entire buy to self scout and
watch what you are doing with 

1489
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,440
Parker Washington and be like, 
yeah, Oh yeah, no problems here.

1490
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:13,320
Business as usual folks. 
Like that's not a thing. 

1491
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:17,320
Yeah, you self scout, you see 
all of the Parker Washington 

1492
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,640
looks and we're like, yeah, what
I actually we need to do this 

1493
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:22,680
more. 
There's and Liam Cohen. 

1494
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:24,200
Listen, Liam Cohen's a good 
coach. 

1495
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,280
Like there's. 
I have all the faith in the 

1496
01:31:26,280 --> 01:31:30,200
world that there is no shot that
they're looking at all the 

1497
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,040
Parker Washington opportunities 
and and thinking like, yeah, 

1498
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:37,280
this is fine. 
So I my thought is Travis Hunter

1499
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,840
is going to get. 
He had 205 air yards, dude. 

1500
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:45,280
Yes, that's what I'm saying. 
And I I watched them all and I 

1501
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:50,400
was just pulling my hair out 
like it's not the other. 

1502
01:31:51,280 --> 01:31:53,720
He's fine as a complimentary 
piece. 

1503
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:57,200
Like in in basketball season, I 
was like, yeah, actually Parker 

1504
01:31:57,200 --> 01:32:00,720
Washington could very much 
legitimately be a guy on this 

1505
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,360
offense. 
Like, I know Diami Brown's the 

1506
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:04,360
one that people want to click, 
but Parker Washington could be 

1507
01:32:04,360 --> 01:32:07,480
the guy. 
And I still believe that. 

1508
01:32:07,480 --> 01:32:11,200
But like as as a complimentary 
piece, not as like the thing 

1509
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:12,560
that you're building the plane 
out of. 

1510
01:32:12,880 --> 01:32:15,800
And, and like, to be fair to 
them, they can't build the plane

1511
01:32:15,800 --> 01:32:18,600
out of Brian Thomas because he's
injured and just not playing 

1512
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:21,320
like the rookie Brian Thomas 
that we saw like that. 

1513
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:24,720
And I don't want to, I really 
don't want to shit on Brian 

1514
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,080
Thomas for that. 
Like, I understand that it's 

1515
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:29,880
really easy to be like, this 
guy's getting paid millions of 

1516
01:32:29,880 --> 01:32:33,320
dollars to go out there and make
these play like, I don't know, 

1517
01:32:33,320 --> 01:32:35,840
guys like, I don't know if 
you've ever torn A labrum or 

1518
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:42,040
like had any serious shoulder. 
Yeah, like, dude, the he might 

1519
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:45,920
be in pain that none of us have 
even experienced. 

1520
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:50,320
You know, like he, he could be 
suffering such a severe injury 

1521
01:32:50,320 --> 01:32:52,480
just with the way that he's 
acting too on it. 

1522
01:32:52,480 --> 01:32:55,480
Like, I don't know, man. 
It, it, it really reads that way

1523
01:32:55,480 --> 01:32:57,000
to me. 
So I think this is the Travis 

1524
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:00,760
Hunter breakout game where 
you'll probably get projection 

1525
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:04,160
systems like at least more 
appropriately accounting for his

1526
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,920
route share this week. 
But I think his targets per 

1527
01:33:06,920 --> 01:33:09,840
route run just go through the 
roof after this. 

1528
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,760
Like the plane has to be built 
out of him. 

1529
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:16,680
Like you can just here, here's a
hint, whatever the Parker 

1530
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:20,080
Washington projection is from 
whatever projection system you 

1531
01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:23,280
use, take half of that and just 
assign it to Travis Hunter 

1532
01:33:23,280 --> 01:33:25,160
instead. 
And that's how you combat this 

1533
01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:27,840
input volatility. 
And, and really you can probably

1534
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,840
go more than that where you dock
Parker Washington by half and 

1535
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:35,280
you give Travis Hunter, you 
know, 1.5 X of whatever you took

1536
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:38,480
away from Parker WA because 
you're saying the reason they're

1537
01:33:38,480 --> 01:33:41,520
getting away from this Parker 
Washington stuff is because they

1538
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:43,480
need Travis Hunter to be more 
efficient with it. 

1539
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:45,680
And you just lean into the 
talent and say that's going to 

1540
01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:47,320
happen. 
So there's all your Travis 

1541
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:49,280
Hunter alpha. 
That's probably like right 

1542
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,040
around what I'm going to do for 
for any of my DFS. 

1543
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:56,480
Right, the things you say to him
like this sounds what what will 

1544
01:33:56,480 --> 01:33:59,520
actually do. 
Yeah, so you, you said you said 

1545
01:33:59,520 --> 01:34:03,000
we should share the alpha. 
So all 8 of you come join me. 

1546
01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:05,840
Slam Travis Hunter. 
I'll see you at the top. 

1547
01:34:07,440 --> 01:34:12,880
Yeah, then and then, and then 
your last note was on this page 

1548
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:17,680
was about Keenan Allen who who's
his, his route share Salid. 

1549
01:34:18,720 --> 01:34:21,320
It was the lowest of this year 
by fire. 

1550
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:25,320
Yeah, I think it was down to 
what, like 41% or something? 

1551
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:30,400
And it it, it was like 55. 
OK. 55, maybe 41% snapshot. 

1552
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,480
But it was down from like he'd, 
he'd been in like the 70s and 

1553
01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:38,240
80s. 
And then, yeah, so it was 50%, 

1554
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:39,400
sorry, 50%. 
OK. 

1555
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:44,960
And so who actually did see? 
You actually, you got a little 

1556
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:47,680
bit of Trey Harris. 
He got a little bit of train 

1557
01:34:47,680 --> 01:34:51,200
Harris, but he he played in Week
7 too. 

1558
01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:58,360
Yeah, I, I, I, you know, earlier
in the season I was on the 

1559
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:03,000
Keenan Allen hater train and I 
think I, I've, I've departed 

1560
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:04,800
from that train. 
I'm no longer on the Keenan 

1561
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:06,760
Allen hater train. 
I think that was, that was 

1562
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:09,880
incorrect. 
I just think he's like 

1563
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:14,040
functional member of the offense
#3 you know, like him, Brad 

1564
01:35:14,040 --> 01:35:16,840
Mcconkey, QJ. 
Now you have Gadsden in the mix.

1565
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:19,600
He's just like functional member
of the offense. 

1566
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,840
I think as the season 
progresses, it is starting to 

1567
01:35:22,840 --> 01:35:26,760
trend in the general direction 
of the talent that we had 

1568
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:29,200
evaluated for the players. 
Or hey, it actually turns out 

1569
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,200
that LAD is the best receiver on
the team. 

1570
01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:34,720
And you know, maybe, you know, 
QJ shouldn't be going 

1571
01:35:34,720 --> 01:35:37,480
thermonuclear every week. 
And so I think you're going to 

1572
01:35:37,480 --> 01:35:43,400
get this hierarchy where LAD is 
not the way the team shakes out.

1573
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:46,680
I don't think it's ever going to
be like a clear 123, but more 

1574
01:35:46,680 --> 01:35:51,600
along the lines of like 1A 
through 1D, you know, But I 

1575
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,920
think there's there's 
differences between one. 

1576
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,520
Like a couple weeks ago I was 
just like the chartered 

1577
01:35:56,520 --> 01:35:59,000
receivers are all the same and 
you just, you don't really care 

1578
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:01,680
to sort out the difference. 
Just like know they all could 

1579
01:36:01,680 --> 01:36:03,800
get there. 
But I think it's going to get a 

1580
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:06,520
little bit more clear where it's
like lads, the clear favorite. 

1581
01:36:07,120 --> 01:36:10,840
And then, you know, Keenan is 
probably #2 in the pecking 

1582
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,160
order. 
And then you have like Gadsden 

1583
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:15,040
and QJ. 
But it wouldn't surprise me if 

1584
01:36:15,040 --> 01:36:19,320
Gadsden hops Keenan here. 
But do you do you think this is 

1585
01:36:19,320 --> 01:36:22,200
signal for like, is this a trend
where Keenan's going to get 

1586
01:36:22,200 --> 01:36:25,600
lower opportunity going forward?
Or is this just a, you know, 

1587
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,760
hey, the Chargers are beating 
the brakes off him. 

1588
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:29,920
They don't need Keenan Allen out
there running meaningless 

1589
01:36:29,920 --> 01:36:32,120
routes. 
Yeah. 

1590
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:34,920
I mean, he's still like, he's 
still got it. 

1591
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,160
I think he got like four or five
targets. 

1592
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:44,040
And so he's still involved. 
And when when they need an easy 

1593
01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:48,240
button first down, like Keenan 
Allen is still so good at that. 

1594
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:54,120
Like I know, I know Mcconkey is 
is fantastic too and he's a much

1595
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:59,440
more dynamic player. 
But it I think that Keenan 

1596
01:36:59,440 --> 01:37:04,800
Allen's, his ability to just get
open and make an easy target for

1597
01:37:04,800 --> 01:37:08,200
a first down is going to give 
him a Moat in the offense. 

1598
01:37:08,640 --> 01:37:13,280
I'm looking here who did get who
did get routes? 

1599
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:20,880
So took her fisc got a lot of 
got 7 routes and Scott Matlock. 

1600
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,280
OK, so it's. 
It's all 7 rounds they're 

1601
01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,800
running, running all the heavy 
personnel stuff and the two 

1602
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,600
tight end stuff just playing 
from the lead cause Matlock's 

1603
01:37:29,600 --> 01:37:33,040
their full back and most of his 
routes are just like. 

1604
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,760
Right. 
So he he got 3 routes. 

1605
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:38,480
So I don't want to overstate 
that, but. 

1606
01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:41,680
Yeah, Fisk, Fisk is another 
tight end and and he's out there

1607
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:43,760
for blocking stuff. 
So they're just playing out of 

1608
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:46,440
the heavy personnel and that's 
that explains it because they 

1609
01:37:46,440 --> 01:37:49,280
had such a big lead. 
So right, don't don't think it's

1610
01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,080
signal for Keenan Allen. 
Right, right. 

1611
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:58,040
He's he's at so 17 is at is 50%.
You add on 6, he's probably his 

1612
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:04,760
normal rate and and and and and 
and and that probably did go to 

1613
01:38:04,760 --> 01:38:10,200
Fisk instead. 
OK, well, I'm glad we parsed 

1614
01:38:10,200 --> 01:38:13,240
that one out there. 
Those were all the notes I had 

1615
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:16,400
on this chart. 
Let's take it to the final one. 

1616
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:21,480
Another broken chart. 
Rashi Rashi only needs like one 

1617
01:38:21,480 --> 01:38:24,680
more game I think to get off 
this one, off this God forsaken 

1618
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:28,200
chart. 
Then then maybe he and Puka can 

1619
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,120
break the next chart together. 
Right, right. 

1620
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:35,960
We we can get our, our, our our 
our tertiary receiver chart 

1621
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:39,480
back. 
Yeah, I didn't have notes on 

1622
01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:41,800
these guys, but I, I just want 
to briefly mention them because 

1623
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:46,280
there there was some stuff that 
I so Steph Diggs dealing with 

1624
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:50,440
the chest injury doesn't play as
many routes or doesn't play as 

1625
01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:53,680
many snaps, doesn't get as many 
routes as he had been getting in

1626
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:57,080
the previous weeks. 
They he catches the ball like at

1627
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,880
the goal line. 
And then it was very like keep 

1628
01:39:00,880 --> 01:39:04,320
Steph Diggs happy coded where 
they they just like scheme up a 

1629
01:39:04,560 --> 01:39:07,520
a play to him on the very next 
play and he gets the touchdown, 

1630
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:10,040
gets in the end zone. 
But it was like a, hey, we know 

1631
01:39:10,040 --> 01:39:13,800
that we can't involve you as 
much as usual, but like, don't 

1632
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:15,560
worry, you're still an important
part of the team. 

1633
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:21,000
But just like it's funny, 'cause
like it's very transparent that 

1634
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:25,720
it's like that's a you know, if 
that's a less diva receiver, 

1635
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:31,320
like maybe that doesn't happen. 
But I I do think it's like good 

1636
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:34,600
knowing your personnel to be 
like, all right, like we, we 

1637
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,480
can't actually play this guy as 
much as like we would like to if

1638
01:39:37,480 --> 01:39:41,680
he was fully healthy, but we do 
want him to like be happy and 

1639
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,280
and stay invested in the team. 
So let's go ahead and force a 

1640
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:48,760
touchdown to him. 
So the Steph Diggs, you know, 

1641
01:39:48,920 --> 01:39:51,440
I'm not super concerned about 
the lack of production this 

1642
01:39:51,440 --> 01:39:54,920
week. 
I think it was more just injury 

1643
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:58,200
related. 
The other one, Marvin Mims, I 

1644
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:02,320
mean, like he he's like he 
legitimately belongs on this 

1645
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,560
chart. 
He will not be graduating, but 

1646
01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:09,520
he does leave with a concussion.
And but even prior to that, 

1647
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,240
like, Troy Franklin was taking 
his lunch and has been taking 

1648
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:15,200
his lunch. 
The Marvin Mims thesis that we 

1649
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:19,800
talked about all offseason of, 
hey, like this guy was basically

1650
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,680
just taking the pass catching 
snaps out of the backfield 

1651
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,560
because they were so sick of, 
you know, their running backs 

1652
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:27,520
not being able to do anything 
productive with it. 

1653
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:30,400
Marvin Mims was basically the de
facto pass catcher running back.

1654
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:32,280
Yeah. 
Marvin Mims lunch has now been 

1655
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:35,000
eaten by Tyler Beday. 
You know, And so that's that's 

1656
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:38,560
basically why you're not seeing 
any progression in the Marvin 

1657
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:40,760
Mims opportunity. 
Like that's what's going on 

1658
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,360
there. 
Neither of those terribly 

1659
01:40:43,360 --> 01:40:46,000
important, just just things that
I had noted. 

1660
01:40:47,040 --> 01:40:49,520
The one that I actually do think
is worth talking about is 

1661
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:56,240
Christian Watson, who is back 
from his very late in the 2024 

1662
01:40:56,240 --> 01:41:02,320
season, pretty bad ACL injury 
and immediately involved. 

1663
01:41:02,520 --> 01:41:05,480
They target him on the first 
play of the game, like very much

1664
01:41:05,480 --> 01:41:09,440
intending to get him involved. 
Yeah, that was fun that they got

1665
01:41:09,440 --> 01:41:12,640
him involved so rarely. 
Yeah, he catches a deep pass. 

1666
01:41:13,880 --> 01:41:17,320
Kind of hilarious that Christian
Watson, who I think tore his ACL

1667
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:22,440
like a full two months after 
Brandon Iuke is back on the 

1668
01:41:22,440 --> 01:41:26,920
field and like not just being 
like very slowly worked in like 

1669
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,200
they used it this game, you 
know? 

1670
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:34,520
So he he he opened with a 65% 
red share, which often ACL is 

1671
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:39,440
very bullish. 
Yeah, he had he had 72 area 

1672
01:41:39,440 --> 01:41:48,400
yards on 4 targets. 
And what this strikes me as is 

1673
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:52,960
like, if you, if you had golden 
yeah, this year you're like, uh 

1674
01:41:53,040 --> 01:41:58,840
oh, I'm in danger. 
Yeah, any I've got a a tip. 

1675
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,680
This is gonna actually help that
you, you might not believe that 

1676
01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,120
there's anything you can do to 
help your golden teams, but I 

1677
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:07,400
promise this will help. 
If you go and you find all your 

1678
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:10,680
golden teams in the underdog app
and you go into the function 

1679
01:42:10,680 --> 01:42:12,880
where you can rename your team, 
you just put a little skull 

1680
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:16,120
emoji on the golden teams. 
That way you know to never look 

1681
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,800
at them again. 
And then mentally, you just 

1682
01:42:18,800 --> 01:42:22,040
never have to feel the sadness 
of seeing the fact that you 

1683
01:42:22,040 --> 01:42:25,200
drafted Matthew Golden again. 
That's probably the best thing 

1684
01:42:25,200 --> 01:42:28,960
you can do for Matthew Golden 
teams in in all seriousness, I 

1685
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:36,680
do think Christian Watson. .9 
are yards Machu Goulton on on on

1686
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,720
Enrique 3.9. 
Good stuff. 

1687
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:45,120
Those are Tucker, about 100. 
Tucker craft numbers. 

1688
01:42:45,840 --> 01:42:49,840
He didn't have 103% receiver 
area yard conversion ratio. 

1689
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:53,160
Wow. 
So he got. 

1690
01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:56,240
He converted those 3.9 into 4 
yards. 

1691
01:42:56,480 --> 01:42:58,200
Hot dog. 
Good for him. 

1692
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,640
Yeah, it's Tucker Craft numbers.
Unfortunately Tucker Craft has 

1693
01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:07,120
like a 17,000% area yard 
conversion ratio. 

1694
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,920
Right. 
The way that I do think this 

1695
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:16,560
Christian Watson information is 
relevant is it's pretty bad for 

1696
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:19,960
other Packers receivers going 
forward because the pie was 

1697
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:24,040
already so split up that none of
the guys are really all that 

1698
01:43:24,040 --> 01:43:28,000
useful anyway. 
I mean, for me, it's there's 

1699
01:43:28,200 --> 01:43:30,840
'cause like, I'm not playing 
Christian Watson in any format 

1700
01:43:30,960 --> 01:43:33,880
yet. 
Like I, I need to see him being 

1701
01:43:33,880 --> 01:43:36,320
more consistently involved. 
I, I don't know that that's 

1702
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:37,920
going to be something you can 
rely on. 

1703
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:41,520
So really you're just left with 
Romeo Dobbs as the only wide 

1704
01:43:41,520 --> 01:43:44,080
receiver that's actually usable 
on the Packers. 

1705
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:46,720
And, and even he, he's not 
someone you're excited to start.

1706
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,640
He's just like a guy you're 
really happy to have on 

1707
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,040
basketball teams 'cause he's way
underpriced. 

1708
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:55,960
But like in a managed lead, 
you're not, you're not like 

1709
01:43:55,960 --> 01:43:59,200
starting Romeo Dobbs because 
you're happy to do so. 

1710
01:43:59,200 --> 01:44:00,800
You're doing it out of 
desperation. 

1711
01:44:02,120 --> 01:44:05,120
I think the the thing that's 
most interesting to me, but it's

1712
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,160
probably just because I'm, I'm 
sick and I've been doing playoff

1713
01:44:08,160 --> 01:44:11,800
basketball work recently. 
I'm very interested in the 

1714
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:17,040
Packers for playoff basketball 
because all these receivers 

1715
01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:20,560
should be free. 
Like basically the the way that 

1716
01:44:20,560 --> 01:44:25,920
you could play Packers is I need
Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs and 

1717
01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:29,080
then like I could take Tucker 
craft, but like I don't need to.

1718
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:33,440
And then I just take whatever 
Packers wide receivers are there

1719
01:44:33,440 --> 01:44:35,840
in the very last round. 
Like I take Christian Watson, I 

1720
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:39,720
take Matthew Golden, I take 
Romeo Dobbs, I take Jaden Reed 

1721
01:44:39,760 --> 01:44:43,600
if he's back, like I take Malik 
Heath. 

1722
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:49,800
You know, like I think if you're
man Packers to the Super Bowl 

1723
01:44:50,440 --> 01:44:53,480
just sets up some really fun 
stuff that you can do in playoff

1724
01:44:53,480 --> 01:44:57,760
basketball just with how they 
split up their their targets and

1725
01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:02,000
the fantasy points, the pass 
catchers, where basically you 

1726
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:06,320
can use those guys as the pieces
for later in the tournament. 

1727
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:09,160
And they all go so cheap that 
you're never really sacrificing 

1728
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:12,840
much in the way of like early 
round advance rate probability 

1729
01:45:13,080 --> 01:45:15,360
to get them. 
And so like, you can do 

1730
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:18,680
something where you've got 4 
Packers on your team and you 

1731
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:22,200
took Jacobs and Love early and 
then the last two were your last

1732
01:45:22,200 --> 01:45:25,680
two picks and then you've got 6 
picks that are, you know, 

1733
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,720
monster producers to help you 
advance. 

1734
01:45:27,720 --> 01:45:30,760
I I'm pretty interested in the 
Packers in that regard, but 

1735
01:45:30,760 --> 01:45:33,920
that's probably more playoff 
basketball talk than anyone 

1736
01:45:33,920 --> 01:45:36,080
other than myself cares about. 
Right. 

1737
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:41,440
No, I find that interesting and 
I don't I, I, I, I, I, I suspect

1738
01:45:41,440 --> 01:45:44,280
that many will not remember that
by the time they draft their 

1739
01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:49,560
first playoff team and draft, 
but I I think that's super 

1740
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:52,600
interesting. 
The the one guy I wanted to note

1741
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:56,800
here who had a little bit of a 
mini breakout with Nico Collins.

1742
01:45:56,800 --> 01:46:01,640
That was Jayden Higgins and he 
only he he only got what 34 

1743
01:46:01,640 --> 01:46:03,800
yards? 
I think he got a touchdown as 

1744
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:10,760
well, but he was up to an 81% 
route share at 21% target spread

1745
01:46:10,760 --> 01:46:15,840
run. 
He he he played pretty well. 

1746
01:46:17,960 --> 01:46:22,360
I guess I I have some small hope
that that they continue to use 

1747
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:26,000
them more. 
I I actually thought from from 

1748
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,080
watching the game, I thought 
Noel looked better. 

1749
01:46:28,120 --> 01:46:30,960
There's a play. 
They didn't play Noel much, she 

1750
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:33,720
only got like a. 40 No. 
Nope, they don't. 

1751
01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,760
That's their thing. 
They don't play Noel much, but 

1752
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:40,080
when he does get on the field, 
he does look good. 

1753
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:44,600
Like he's he's making difficult 
catches, he's catching downfield

1754
01:46:44,600 --> 01:46:46,520
passes, he's catching stuff 
short. 

1755
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:49,600
The thing that bugged me about 
Higgins was there was a pass 

1756
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:53,280
where it was like the thing that
you would think that a Jaden 

1757
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:57,720
Higgins is for like that kind of
pass or is like a little high, 

1758
01:46:57,720 --> 01:47:00,960
like outside the frame. 
But you're like, that's what 

1759
01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,280
this guy's that's literally why 
we draft this guy, like go up 

1760
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:07,720
and get that. 
And he just like, it was just 

1761
01:47:07,720 --> 01:47:10,400
really underwhelming to me to 
like it didn't. 

1762
01:47:10,560 --> 01:47:13,040
It looked like he just didn't 
have a chance in hell at it. 

1763
01:47:13,040 --> 01:47:16,760
It's like, oh, man, really. 
Like that's that's what you got 

1764
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:19,280
from me on that. 
Like that's kind of like what I 

1765
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:22,360
thought, you know, part of your 
appeal would be. 

1766
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:26,280
And I mean, I don't think it's 
fair to judge a player on one 

1767
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:29,480
Rep like that and be like, Jaden
Higgins can't go up and get the 

1768
01:47:29,480 --> 01:47:33,400
hard, hard to catch ones right. 
But it was pretty vivid to me as

1769
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:39,000
like, I don't know why I watched
every snap of that stupid Texans

1770
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:43,760
49ers game, but I was really, 
really hoping for a, a nice 

1771
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,480
Jalen Knoll breakout and 
Higgins, of course, I drafted a 

1772
01:47:47,480 --> 01:47:51,240
bunch of him too, but I have a 
huge, huge bag of Knoll and I I 

1773
01:47:51,240 --> 01:47:53,280
just was feeling a little 
underwhelmed with Higgins. 

1774
01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:54,560
I mean, he does get in the end 
zone. 

1775
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:58,520
And the positive for him is that
the team is more willing to to 

1776
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:01,880
play him right. 
You do need to see the field, 

1777
01:48:01,880 --> 01:48:05,240
the score points. 
So I don't know, I, I think you 

1778
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:10,120
really what you, you need the 
team to just stop being so 

1779
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:13,760
obsessed with these total losers
and start using the guys they 

1780
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:17,680
spent high draft capital on, 
man, like I'm, I'm, I can't even

1781
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:21,560
remember I I need to. 
Pull for Noel. 

1782
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,360
He has 77 yards, 63 yards in the
last two games. 

1783
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:34,400
Like even on the 4845% and yeah,
right chair, he's still getting 

1784
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:38,880
seven and six targets. 
So he, he, he's getting heavily 

1785
01:48:38,880 --> 01:48:42,280
targeted. 
He's the target leader in in 

1786
01:48:42,280 --> 01:48:46,200
this last game. 
Maybe maybe that what the story 

1787
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:52,080
you tell yourself is that 
Hutchinson is not vulnerable to 

1788
01:48:52,080 --> 01:48:54,600
Jayden. 
You don't even need the shit on 

1789
01:48:54,600 --> 01:48:56,640
Jayden Higgins. 
You you tell yourself that 

1790
01:48:56,640 --> 01:49:00,200
Kristen Kirk is extremely 
vulnerable to Joe and Noah right

1791
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:04,200
now, and that the same way we've
been rooting for a flip inning 

1792
01:49:04,720 --> 01:49:11,360
between and Joe Koo and Fannin, 
we should be saying rooting for 

1793
01:49:11,360 --> 01:49:14,880
that same flip inning between 
Kirk and Joe and all. 

1794
01:49:15,640 --> 01:49:18,720
Yeah, the the big problem for 
Jalen Noel is I think he's 

1795
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:22,720
basically exclusively slot. 
Let me pull up where he lined up

1796
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:31,920
this last week yeah it's it's 
all slot man last two weeks 26 

1797
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:37,120
slot snaps 7 out wide 25 slot 
snaps 6 out wide He's getting 

1798
01:49:37,120 --> 01:49:40,240
return work too he's getting 
kick returns and pot returns. 

1799
01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:45,080
So what you really need for 
Jalen Dole to like have a 

1800
01:49:45,080 --> 01:49:48,160
meeting for? 
Oh, Christian Kirk is missing 

1801
01:49:48,160 --> 01:49:50,160
time, isn't he? 
So you've already got Christian 

1802
01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:52,240
Kirk out? 
Right, right. 

1803
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:57,400
And so that that's why you're 
getting the 45% red share, but. 

1804
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:02,240
But no more because, because 
listen, Draco, one thing that 

1805
01:50:02,240 --> 01:50:05,520
you might not understand, you 
know, simpletons like us don't 

1806
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:09,880
understand that you've got to 
get Jared Wayne his snaps. 

1807
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:11,920
You have. 
If you're not getting Jared 

1808
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:14,920
Wayne his snaps, I mean, are you
even trying to win? 

1809
01:50:15,480 --> 01:50:17,960
You have to get Braxton Barrios 
his targets. 

1810
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:22,680
If Braxton Barrios doesn't get 
his targets, what's what's it 

1811
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:26,480
all for, you know? 
Yeah, I I never even heard of 

1812
01:50:26,480 --> 01:50:28,040
Jared Wayne until. 
Me neither. 

1813
01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:30,240
Me neither. 
Until literally I'm watching the

1814
01:50:30,240 --> 01:50:34,400
game and I see this guy go in 
motion and I'm like, who is this

1815
01:50:34,400 --> 01:50:36,200
tight end? 
He's not a tight end. 

1816
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:39,520
He's just a big ass, slow wide 
receiver that they decided that 

1817
01:50:39,520 --> 01:50:42,520
they needed to play. 
So yeah. 

1818
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:47,440
And I guess Braxton Berrios is 
the is the is the slot receiver 

1819
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:52,720
that that he needs to beat out 
and, and, and Christian Kirk, 

1820
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:55,480
That is kind of wild. 
I I do think. 

1821
01:50:56,360 --> 01:51:01,880
That they don't go and say, Oh 
yeah, shit, Christian Kirk is 

1822
01:51:01,880 --> 01:51:03,960
back. 
You don't know we can't play you

1823
01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:06,680
anymore. 
I mean, that's that's the odds 

1824
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:10,080
on favorite for for outcomes 
like that's what's gonna happen 

1825
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:14,040
frustratingly, but the so it 
just doesn't. 

1826
01:51:14,440 --> 01:51:16,360
Sense. 
No, it doesn't make any sense. 

1827
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:17,920
You spend a bunch of draft 
capital on this guy. 

1828
01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:21,920
He's good, He looks good every 
time that he's out there on the 

1829
01:51:21,920 --> 01:51:24,480
field and you're just refusing 
to play him. 

1830
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:28,160
Berrios did leave with a chest 
injury late. 

1831
01:51:28,400 --> 01:51:33,000
So maybe maybe that's what we 
need for the Knoll breakout. 

1832
01:51:33,000 --> 01:51:40,040
I mean, it's it's frustrating 
because it's like how I know the

1833
01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:43,120
genie, he hasn't had like a true
genie out of the bottle game, 

1834
01:51:43,120 --> 01:51:46,920
but like he leads you in 
receptions last week and then I 

1835
01:51:46,920 --> 01:51:50,120
want to say in the previous 
week, he he's up there as well. 

1836
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:54,880
Like it's just what does this 
guy have to do for for you to 

1837
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:56,600
decide to give him more 
opportunity? 

1838
01:51:56,600 --> 01:52:01,840
Like, do we really need like 
some monster 150 yard game with 

1839
01:52:01,840 --> 01:52:06,080
a touchdown for them to realize 
that this guy is very like, I'm 

1840
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,240
not saying he's better than Nico
Collins, but he definitely 

1841
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:12,480
deserves to at the very least 
share slot snaps with Christian 

1842
01:52:12,480 --> 01:52:14,080
Kirk. 
Like, come on. 

1843
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:20,240
But anyway, I, I, I foresee us 
being frustrated with the Jalen 

1844
01:52:20,240 --> 01:52:24,800
Null usage going forward. 
I mean, there's a sliver of hope

1845
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:27,760
with the the barrios injury and 
maybe Kirk's out another week. 

1846
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:32,000
But like, I think we're just 
most likely to be frustrated. 

1847
01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:34,360
But the talent is there. 
The talent is there. 

1848
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:38,480
The thesis was correct. 
This guy's good, right? 

1849
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:45,040
Right, I think that covers all 
our notes, unless you have 

1850
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:47,720
anything else. 
No, I mean I was thinking of 

1851
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:50,640
ranting about Jalen Knoll for 
like another 2535 minutes. 

1852
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:53,080
But I do think it's probably 
best if we just sign off. 

1853
01:52:54,200 --> 01:52:56,840
Yeah. 
Thanks everyone, for joining us 

1854
01:52:56,840 --> 01:52:58,600
for another week. 
We will. 

1855
01:52:58,840 --> 01:52:59,600
We'll see you next week.
