- 0:10Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's
- 0:14Speaker 1: been your man named g Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Floyo and Lakwan Jones. Welcome to Week three fellas. We're
- 0:20Speaker 1: in the thick of it now.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, hey, Week three kicks off in a great
- 0:24Speaker 2: lady too.
- 0:25Speaker 1: We've got the Bills, you got the Dolphins. It should
- 0:28Speaker 1: be a good start to week three. We got a
- 0:30Speaker 1: whole lot going on. We've got a lot of quarterback
- 0:32Speaker 1: issues to deal with. Two, We're got to a lot
- 0:34Speaker 1: of starts and sins for week three? Are we ready
- 0:37Speaker 1: for another Indiana Jones adventure? And then the Chiefs avoid
- 0:40Speaker 1: an Ero and three start. We'll get into that and
- 0:42Speaker 1: a whole lot more, but gonna start as we don't
- 0:44Speaker 1: leave with the starts, and since we'll begin with the
- 0:47Speaker 1: quarterback position, Florio run through the ups and downs for
- 0:50Speaker 1: this week.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Jared Goff, I think that could be a really high
- 0:53Speaker 2: scoring game on Monday Night football. Dak Prescott, the Bears
- 0:56Speaker 2: have allowed a whole bunch of production through the air.
- 0:59Speaker 2: Dre may I think he's just playing really good ball
- 1:02Speaker 2: as of right now. Daniel Jones to me, is in
- 1:05Speaker 2: play because he's getting all the goal one work and
- 1:07Speaker 2: he's second in the NFL in passing yards. I don't
- 1:09Speaker 2: know if it's gonna last all year, but he's hot
- 1:11Speaker 2: right now. And then Caleb Williams. The Cowboys have allowed
- 1:15Speaker 2: the most passing yards and third most passing touchdowns and
- 1:18Speaker 2: on the Sids, I'm sorry, Lakwan, I'm gonna try to
- 1:21Speaker 2: get away from Matthew Stafford. I know quarterbacks a little
- 1:23Speaker 2: thin this week, but the Eagles is not a defense
- 1:25Speaker 2: I really want to mess with. Keyral Lawrence has more
- 1:28Speaker 2: career interceptions than touchdowns against the Houston Texans and he
- 1:32Speaker 2: already has to have sit down, so with his coach,
- 1:34Speaker 2: that's not a good thing. Gino Smith the other night
- 1:37Speaker 2: was rough for him. Brock Bauers is banged up and everything.
- 1:41Speaker 2: So I think you get away from trying to stream
- 1:43Speaker 2: Gino Smith and then I'm sorry, Lakuwan, I'm gonna say
- 1:46Speaker 2: something about your fellow Orange County and I would trying
- 1:49Speaker 2: to get away from Sam Donald right now.
- 1:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I put Sam Donald as a sleeper out. Admit
- 1:54Speaker 1: I didn't feel necessarily great about it. Some of it
- 1:56Speaker 1: was just because there could be up to five starting
- 1:59Speaker 1: quarterbacks seeing this week. Yeah, I tried to kind of,
- 2:03Speaker 1: you know, pretzel logic, but I don't feel great about
- 2:05Speaker 1: that as a sleeper down.
- 2:07Speaker 2: You know, they're just running the ball.
- 2:09Speaker 1: They're running the ball a lot. Saints defense has been
- 2:12Speaker 1: a little bit tougher than I think we thought it
- 2:13Speaker 1: was going to be at the start of the year. Lakwan,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you have been big on Daniel Jones. We sort of,
- 2:19Speaker 1: you know, poked at you about it, but at least
- 2:21Speaker 1: in the first two weeks he's looked good. Would you
- 2:24Speaker 1: like to take a mild victory lap on Indiana? Indiana
- 2:28Speaker 1: we named the dog Indiana, Like, do we want to
- 2:30Speaker 1: take a lap on him heading into week three?
- 2:33Speaker 3: Absolutely, I'm taking the lap each and every week.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Man.
- 2:36Speaker 3: As long as he's going out there in complete and passes,
- 2:39Speaker 3: that's all the coach need and and that's exactly what
- 2:41Speaker 3: he's doing. He's one of three quarterbacks to put up
- 2:44Speaker 3: three hundred passing yards on net Denver defense. I mean, honestly,
- 2:48Speaker 3: I'm just gonna ride this train. I'm going to ride
- 2:51Speaker 3: the wave until it is done. Because at the end
- 2:53Speaker 3: of the day, Daniel Jones was for free in drafts.
- 2:56Speaker 3: He is free off the waiver wires and just looking
- 2:59Speaker 3: at how he's been operating facing a league high sixty
- 3:03Speaker 3: two percent blitz rate, defenses need to start respecting mister
- 3:08Speaker 3: Danny Jones man, because look he's a Jones. So we
- 3:11Speaker 3: the Ones. Baby, let's go Daniel Jones.
- 3:14Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Right? Because this is the week that
- 3:16Speaker 1: everybody is on Daniel Jones, Like this is the week
- 3:19Speaker 1: that it falls apart, because everybody believes in Daniel Jones,
- 3:24Speaker 1: very curious whether or not the Titans decide to blitz
- 3:26Speaker 1: him too heavily this week.
- 3:27Speaker 2: I had a friend ask a start stick question and
- 3:31Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is one of them, and I was like, look,
- 3:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna answer that I would play Jones, but you
- 3:35Speaker 2: know it's Daniel Jones, Like you know what the downside
- 3:38Speaker 2: is like, And he was like, yeah, that's true. The
- 3:41Speaker 2: thing about the blitzing, the Titans have generated pressure at
- 3:46Speaker 2: the six lowest rate this year, so Dom's could have
- 3:49Speaker 2: a clean pocket this week. That that's why I do
- 3:51Speaker 2: have him in play.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, everything points to them having another
- 3:54Speaker 1: good week, but I just I you know, we've all
- 3:56Speaker 1: seen this before, right, Like when we all believe in
- 3:59Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. That's when it goes sideways.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Only twenty four Saints, right exactly. So we'll see how
- 4:04Speaker 4: we'll see how this goes. But but through through two
- 4:06Speaker 4: weeks it's been fantastic. Now I gonna argue that. So
- 4:10Speaker 4: people behind the curtain, I do the rundown. I tell
- 4:13Speaker 4: Lakwan he go in and highlight the guys you want
- 4:15Speaker 4: to talk about. Let's do a start. Let's do a
- 4:18Speaker 4: sit for each one of these. And so now the
- 4:21Speaker 4: sit is Trevor Lawrence. I mean, just go on, you
- 4:26Speaker 4: do your thing.
- 4:28Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna bring out the middlemeter.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Okay.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Now, so he was at t low last week. Yeah,
- 4:34Speaker 3: I think last week the performance he kind of moved
- 4:37Speaker 3: up a notch. But him getting animated on the sideline
- 4:40Speaker 3: with Liam Cohen the whole put it in this chest
- 4:43Speaker 3: and then not getting Brian Thomas Jr. The fantasy points
- 4:46Speaker 3: that the fantasy managers deserve. I do think that Trevor
- 4:49Speaker 3: Lawrence is going to be on the bench for a
- 4:50Speaker 3: lot of folks for a long time. And the last
- 4:53Speaker 3: time he faced the Texans he got his bell rung.
- 4:55Speaker 3: So I do think it's going to be a struggle
- 4:57Speaker 3: for Trevor mid Lawrence to go out there and put
- 4:59Speaker 3: on a good performance. So if you're streaming quarterbacks or
- 5:02Speaker 3: having him as your QB one dealing with a lot
- 5:04Speaker 3: of QB injuries this week, listen, I'm going to tell
- 5:07Speaker 3: you now thoughts in prayers, man, because this Texans defense,
- 5:10Speaker 3: they're gonna be bringing it and they're gonna be taking
- 5:12Speaker 3: the ball away as well, because he has not faced
- 5:15Speaker 3: a pass rush this aggressive this season.
- 5:17Speaker 1: I think that the hard part about Trevor Lawrence playing
- 5:20Speaker 1: this way is flourd. It's not so much about Trevor
- 5:23Speaker 1: Lawrence because I think you know, he's probably on the
- 5:26Speaker 1: bench in a lot of leagues. He's probably on the
- 5:27Speaker 1: waiver wire in a lot of leagues. It's that it's
- 5:31Speaker 1: hurting folks who have Brian Thomas Junior and Travis Hunter.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Those guys have become really tough to start so far.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm look, I don't think you get away from
- 5:40Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior. Granted that like you took him in
- 5:43Speaker 2: the first round more likely, but I have a good
- 5:45Speaker 2: amount of Travis Hunter, and like in my fourteen team league,
- 5:48Speaker 2: I can't get away. But in some twelve teamers, I can,
- 5:52Speaker 2: and I am because like, I still believe in Travis
- 5:56Speaker 2: Hunter's upside, I believe in his talent, and I even
- 5:59Speaker 2: like the volume that he's getting. But it's just these
- 6:02Speaker 2: quality of targets have not been good so far. And
- 6:05Speaker 2: like the reason I wrote about Trevor Lawrence this week
- 6:07Speaker 2: is because I think people are gonna see the fantasy
- 6:09Speaker 2: stats from last week and be like, oh, maybe he's serviceable,
- 6:13Speaker 2: maybe he's usable. I could replace Rock Purdy or Joe
- 6:16Speaker 2: Burrow or someone like that with him. But like watching
- 6:20Speaker 2: the game, it was not nearly as effective as.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Yeah, two of his three interceptions by the way of
- 6:27Speaker 1: come wing targeting Travis Hunter this year, so that that's
- 6:29Speaker 1: not particularly great. No, not great at all. Let's turn
- 6:33Speaker 1: to the running backs. Your start to Censich by the way,
- 6:36Speaker 1: you can get all the starts and sits from Michael
- 6:37Speaker 1: Leflorio on NFL dot Com slash starts it. Who do
- 6:40Speaker 1: you like? Who do you not like?
- 6:41Speaker 2: I like ken Look, we've seen two weeks of Kenneth
- 6:43Speaker 2: Walker in this RB two role. We've seen the high
- 6:46Speaker 2: and we've seen the low. But it's a good matchup
- 6:48Speaker 2: against the Saints, and I'm hopeful that after last week
- 6:50Speaker 2: he gets even more work. Javonte Williams has been a
- 6:53Speaker 2: top five fantasy running back each week, so I just
- 6:56Speaker 2: think he's in play there. Plus, the Bears have struggled
- 6:59Speaker 2: to get with the explosive runs. Jalen Warren has taking
- 7:02Speaker 2: over more and more of that backfield. The Patriots have
- 7:04Speaker 2: allowed a lot of production through the air to running backs.
- 7:07Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift has shown us to have his safe floor,
- 7:11Speaker 2: but this could be an upside week because the Cowboys
- 7:14Speaker 2: struggle in the passing game against running backs and they
- 7:16Speaker 2: struggle on explosive runs. And then Tony Pollard, I know
- 7:19Speaker 2: it's been all floor, but ninety percent of the snaps,
- 7:23Speaker 2: all of the touches like he's going to have better
- 7:25Speaker 2: fantasy days, and then my sits I'm looking to get
- 7:28Speaker 2: away from Bill. The Raiders have allowed less than one
- 7:32Speaker 2: hundred rushing yards to running backs this season despite playing
- 7:35Speaker 2: a couple of good ones Hyron Tracy Junior. I think
- 7:38Speaker 2: Cam Scataboo is really coming for that job there, and
- 7:40Speaker 2: the Chiefs are a top run defense.
- 7:42Speaker 1: R J.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Harvey, he's just not getting the opportunities right now. I
- 7:45Speaker 2: want him on my team, but it has to be
- 7:48Speaker 2: the bench Brown's running backs, all of them last week
- 7:51Speaker 2: like they're eating off the same plate. They all had
- 7:53Speaker 2: fewer than eleven Fantasy points. And it's against the Packers.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And then Zach Sharpney. Look he's getting touches, he's doing
- 7:59Speaker 2: nothing with them. He's averaging I believe, like less than
- 8:01Speaker 2: two yards per carry right now. So I don't see
- 8:04Speaker 2: how you could start Sharbona. Sorry, I know that's a.
- 8:07Speaker 1: That's my guy. I had a first good had a
- 8:08Speaker 1: good first week, not a good second week. It does
- 8:11Speaker 1: stand the reason. If you don't like Sharbona, you probably
- 8:13Speaker 1: do like Walker. I know you have been a Kenneth
- 8:16Speaker 1: Walker guy all off season. Lakwan, so is he is
- 8:20Speaker 1: he back to officially being the RB one in Seattle?
- 8:24Speaker 3: Yes? It only took one game for him to remind
- 8:26Speaker 3: everybody of like who exactly is because like if you
- 8:29Speaker 3: watch the tape in that Steelers game, my god, he's electric.
- 8:32Speaker 3: He had four explosive runs compared to Zach Scharbonay this
- 8:35Speaker 3: season zero. So I do think that outside zones game
- 8:38Speaker 3: is working very well for him. I think week one
- 8:41Speaker 3: was expected, Like folks forgot he was not practicing all
- 8:44Speaker 3: summer like he was banged up. It only took one
- 8:47Speaker 3: game to bounce back, and folks should be trusting him
- 8:49Speaker 3: in starting lineup. My man jumping over invisible people like,
- 8:53Speaker 3: he didn't have to hurt on that one jump, but
- 8:55Speaker 3: it just shows of how electric an anime he can
- 8:58Speaker 3: be in the backfield. And I definitely think that he
- 9:00Speaker 3: is back and folks should just be looking forward to
- 9:03Speaker 3: him lighting up each and every week.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It'd be interesting because you know, I look, the chatter
- 9:08Speaker 1: out of Seattle is that they were kind of frustrated
- 9:10Speaker 1: with him because you know he can't stay healthy and
- 9:12Speaker 1: that he sometimes has a lot of negative plays. But
- 9:15Speaker 1: if he's playing like you did last week, then it's
- 9:17Speaker 1: not really.
- 9:17Speaker 3: Going to be an isshoe O line is helping him. Man,
- 9:20Speaker 3: That on line looks great, man. I mean, look, you
- 9:22Speaker 3: look at the yards before contact. He's top five in
- 9:25Speaker 3: that area in yards, So it's like they are moving bodies.
- 9:28Speaker 3: So as long as they keep doing their job and
- 9:30Speaker 3: they stay up right, I see Seahawks having probably one
- 9:32Speaker 3: of the best rushing attacks this year.
- 9:34Speaker 1: They're going to be very run heavy this year for sure.
- 9:37Speaker 1: On the other side, I know this is a very
- 9:39Speaker 1: camp Scataboo friendly podcast. Does that mean Lakwan that we
- 9:42Speaker 1: are out on Tyrone Tracy.
- 9:45Speaker 3: Yeah, unfortunately, Man, when you look at last week had
- 9:47Speaker 3: five carries, that was the fewest he's had since the
- 9:50Speaker 3: Week four of last season. So it looks like the
- 9:52Speaker 3: cam Skataboo or is taking over. I mean, man, the
- 9:55Speaker 3: team is fully behind him. I mean he yoked up
- 9:57Speaker 3: a veteran quarterback in Russell Wilson talk about something less go.
- 10:01Speaker 3: He grabbed that man like a child that shouldn't be
- 10:03Speaker 3: doing what he's doing in the store. Shout out to
- 10:05Speaker 3: my mom. She's done that a couple of times. But
- 10:07Speaker 3: I do think that Camp Skataboo is real, Like there
- 10:11Speaker 3: is a real fear that, you know, Aaron Tracy is
- 10:14Speaker 3: nearing that drop zone on a lot of rosters. Like
- 10:16Speaker 3: I can't see myself rostering him if he goes out
- 10:19Speaker 3: this week and having that same amount of carries that
- 10:21Speaker 3: he had last week and Camp Scattabu just getting the
- 10:24Speaker 3: torch and running away with it.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Very interesting to see how this thing goes, Like I
- 10:27Speaker 1: didn't expect Scataboo to start getting this much work this
- 10:30Speaker 1: early in the season. I would still like to see
- 10:33Speaker 1: him get a few more targets, but in terms of
- 10:35Speaker 1: the opportunity, it's nice.
- 10:37Speaker 2: For what it's worth, he ran more routes he did
- 10:40Speaker 2: so like I think the targets are coming.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see, and maybe he ends up getting the
- 10:43Speaker 1: goal line work too, which only raises his potential value
- 10:47Speaker 1: for sure. Speaking of the Giants, that gets us to
- 10:51Speaker 1: Sunday night football. It's the Kansas City Chiefs heading to
- 10:54Speaker 1: the Meadowlands to take on the New York Football Giants.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You can see that Sunday at eight Eastern time on
- 11:01Speaker 1: in BC. All right, so, Flora Manascio, between the running
- 11:05Speaker 1: backs here, who are you more comfortable starting? Is it
- 11:07Speaker 1: cam Scattaboo? Is it Isaiah Pachecko?
- 11:10Speaker 2: Look, I own a camp Scattaboo shirt. I was a
- 11:13Speaker 2: big fan that. I think he could have quickly stole
- 11:16Speaker 2: his job away from Tracy. I'm still going to Isaiah.
- 11:20Speaker 2: I think this is the week for Pacheco and for
- 11:23Speaker 2: a number of different reasons. One, the Chiefs have trailed
- 11:26Speaker 2: for all but three minutes. Obviously, that's not a good
- 11:28Speaker 2: recipe for success for a running back. But last week
- 11:31Speaker 2: he did play more snaps, he had more carries, he
- 11:34Speaker 2: ran double the amount of routes his Kareem Hunt and
- 11:36Speaker 2: the Chiefs have kind of been like, we expect Pacheco
- 11:40Speaker 2: to be better than this, We expect him to be
- 11:42Speaker 2: our guy. And I think this is the week he
- 11:44Speaker 2: could start to look like that. The Giants have allowed
- 11:47Speaker 2: over five yards per carry. I believe they're allowing. If
- 11:49Speaker 2: it's not the highest rate their top three, it's one
- 11:52Speaker 2: of the highest rates in the NFL. And then I
- 11:56Speaker 2: know this MRK sound like, oh, he's grasping and stuff.
- 11:59Speaker 2: But this is a return home for Isaiah Pacheco. And
- 12:02Speaker 2: if you think coaches don't factor stuff in like that,
- 12:06Speaker 2: and I'm expecting a goal on carry into a touchdown
- 12:09Speaker 2: for Pacheco, which if he scores a touchdown, that already
- 12:11Speaker 2: clears anything a Chiefs running back has done in a game.
- 12:14Speaker 2: So I'm going with Pacheco.
- 12:16Speaker 1: In the Other part that works in Pacheco's benefit is
- 12:19Speaker 1: I think game script's not gonna be as much of
- 12:21Speaker 1: an issue. And you've pointed out during the week that
- 12:24Speaker 1: the Chiefs have barely led at all this season. What
- 12:27Speaker 1: two three minutes at the most that they have had
- 12:29Speaker 1: a lead, they took a lead, what is against the
- 12:31Speaker 1: Eagles and Eagles came right back. It took the lead
- 12:34Speaker 1: on the very next possession. So they've been playing either
- 12:36Speaker 1: even or behind pretty much all season long. Pacheco has
- 12:40Speaker 1: never been a big part of the passing game there
- 12:42Speaker 1: in Kansas City. But I expect they're going to have
- 12:45Speaker 1: a lead, They're going to be angry, they're owing to
- 12:47Speaker 1: and they're gonna probably take this out on the Giants,
- 12:49Speaker 1: and so I think you're gonna see a lot of
- 12:51Speaker 1: just running the football in the third and fourth quarter
- 12:53Speaker 1: they try to grind that clock.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Go esca Orange County's own. He's gonna eat a tailor
- 12:57Speaker 2: hands Taylor.
- 12:59Speaker 1: Taylor, Okay, so walked off man.
- 13:06Speaker 3: Man, He's gonna eat a like Papa Hello.
- 13:11Speaker 1: All right, God, you guys are no worse. We seem
- 13:13Speaker 1: to be on the Pacheco. We all like Scataboo. But
- 13:15Speaker 1: it does seem to be more of a Pacheco week here,
- 13:17Speaker 1: uh In. I agree. Football still got some more to
- 13:21Speaker 1: get to. A look at a big Monday night game
- 13:22Speaker 1: between the Lions and the Ravens, plus our start sits
- 13:25Speaker 1: for wide receivers and tight ends. That's next on the
- 13:27Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. Take a look at the Monday
- 13:33Speaker 1: night football game and on paper at least looks like
- 13:35Speaker 1: a dandy. The Detroit Lions go to Baltimore to take
- 13:38Speaker 1: on of the Ravens. Both teams a lot of points.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Last week, the Lions dropped the fifty burger on the Bears.
- 13:45Speaker 1: The Ravens have scored forty points in back to back
- 13:47Speaker 1: weeks to start the season. But look one Week one,
- 13:50Speaker 1: not so great for the Detroit offense, very good in
- 13:53Speaker 1: week two. Your feelings about starting any of your Lions
- 13:56Speaker 1: this week against a good Baltimore defense. I feel good
- 13:59Speaker 1: about Laporte, I feel good about Jared Goff. I feel
- 14:01Speaker 1: good obviously about Gibbs.
- 14:03Speaker 3: The only word where I'm iffy about starting is David Montgomery.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Like I feel real nasty about the situation that's going
- 14:09Speaker 3: there where John Morton looks like he's pushing Gibbs as
- 14:12Speaker 3: a guy that's going to be the shining star of
- 14:14Speaker 3: that offense. And I do think that Dave Montgomery, you're
- 14:17Speaker 3: kind of hoping and praying that he falls into the
- 14:20Speaker 3: end zone. So like that's the only start that I'm
- 14:22Speaker 3: a little like if you about, because I find myself
- 14:25Speaker 3: starting at Jordan Mason over at David Montgomery, Like I
- 14:28Speaker 3: find myself going to different flex opportunities, like a Chris O'
- 14:31Speaker 3: lobby over at David Montgomery. It feels nasty, even though
- 14:34Speaker 3: Chryso Lobby is like the og of the saturl discontent Marcus,
- 14:37Speaker 3: you know that. So it's like, I don't know what
- 14:40Speaker 3: to do with David Montgomery. But like at least with
- 14:42Speaker 3: Jameson Williams, you always have that high ceiling with this
- 14:44Speaker 3: high power lines offense.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Josh Club, I need you to cut the part just
- 14:49Speaker 1: now where the quants that I feel good about Jared Goff.
- 14:52Speaker 1: I just want that SoundBite so I can have that
- 14:56Speaker 1: to play at random intervals during the show. I just
- 15:00Speaker 1: need that. That's what I need in my life.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Well done.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Let's get back to some more starts and since though
- 15:05Speaker 1: for week three, look at the wide receivers Florida. Who
- 15:07Speaker 1: your starts? Who are your sits?
- 15:08Speaker 2: This week? The new wide receiver one in Chicago I
- 15:11Speaker 2: think is a must start option in Roman dunesday. He
- 15:13Speaker 2: gets all of their end zone targets and no team
- 15:15Speaker 2: has a lot more touchdowns to receivers than the Cowboys.
- 15:18Speaker 2: The Bears are close, though, and that's why I think
- 15:20Speaker 2: George Pickens is in play in this one. He leads
- 15:23Speaker 2: the league and end zone targets. Mister Pickens a mecca
- 15:27Speaker 2: at BUKA. I know he popped up on the practice
- 15:29Speaker 2: report this week, but if he plays, I think you
- 15:31Speaker 2: play him. Not only has he been outstanding Sauce Gardner,
- 15:34Speaker 2: the Jets are letting him shadow people now, so if
- 15:36Speaker 2: he shadows Mike Evans, they could mean more Buka and
- 15:39Speaker 2: the Jets really struggle against slot receivers. Juwan Jennings ten
- 15:43Speaker 2: targets last week, didn't.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Miss a beat.
- 15:45Speaker 2: With Mac Jones and the Cardinals, they've allowed I think
- 15:48Speaker 2: the most catches to receivers it is, and they are
- 15:50Speaker 2: definitely in the top ten in yards allowed to receivers
- 15:53Speaker 2: out wide. And then Wanda Robinson, I think they're using
- 15:56Speaker 2: him differently. I think the volume is very safe and
- 15:59Speaker 2: the Chiefs have allowed but the most yah or top
- 16:02Speaker 2: two in yards allowed two slot receivers. And then my sits.
- 16:06Speaker 2: It pains me to say, man, but Calvin Ridley, like
- 16:09Speaker 2: they're not throwing the ball downfield much. He's not getting
- 16:11Speaker 2: many end zone targets. Like I just don't like the
- 16:15Speaker 2: way he's being used and L like iomaner to your guys,
- 16:18Speaker 2: credit is actually a threat for some volume there, Chris Olave,
- 16:23Speaker 2: He's all floor right now. We haven't really seen the
- 16:25Speaker 2: high ceiling. And then the thing about floors is it
- 16:28Speaker 2: gets lowered when you face a really good defense like
- 16:30Speaker 2: the Seahawks. That's how I feel about Jerry Judy as well.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Outside of the tight ends. I don't want to do
- 16:36Speaker 2: anything with the Browns against that Packers defense this week.
- 16:39Speaker 2: And then Darnault Mooney. I'm willing to be wrong if
- 16:41Speaker 2: I'm wrong here, but the Panthers have been really stout
- 16:45Speaker 2: against wide receivers, partly because you could run all over them,
- 16:48Speaker 2: partly because they got some good players there. You know.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a lot of it's just like teams
- 16:51Speaker 1: are like, hey, we're running the ball so well throwing it,
- 16:54Speaker 1: so that might have something to do with it.
- 16:55Speaker 2: Jon's gonna go for a million yards too.
- 16:58Speaker 1: Yeah, That's that's probably the other part of that thing. Sure,
- 17:01Speaker 1: Lakwan Floria mentioned Calvin Ridley as a sit I have
- 17:06Speaker 1: this feeling that Calvin Ridley shows up, but really it's
- 17:08Speaker 1: just it's based on vibes alone, Like I have no
- 17:11Speaker 1: actual stats to back it up, just because it feels
- 17:13Speaker 1: like they're going to try to get him. Going your
- 17:15Speaker 1: thoughts on Calvin Ridley this week.
- 17:17Speaker 3: I haven't started him since Week one, and I've been
- 17:19Speaker 3: kind of avoiding getting him into my lineups, like I
- 17:21Speaker 3: don't feel the need to because him and cam Ward
- 17:23Speaker 3: are now in the same page right now, and honestly,
- 17:26Speaker 3: looking at this Colts defense, man, they're playing great football.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Only five passes have been completed downfield on this Colts defense.
- 17:34Speaker 3: They are playing tough against the pass. And then looking
- 17:37Speaker 3: at cam Ward, he has the lowest completion percentage on
- 17:40Speaker 3: downfield throws. That's ten plus air yards. And this is
- 17:43Speaker 3: the bread and butter of Calvin Ridley. We know he's
- 17:45Speaker 3: the guy last season that led in air yards. There
- 17:48Speaker 3: is a need to want to get him vertical and
- 17:50Speaker 3: being that they are now on the same page, yet
- 17:52Speaker 3: I cannot trust Calvin Ridley in starting lineups.
- 17:55Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Just I mean that that highlight reel, low light reel,
- 17:57Speaker 1: A lot of drops from Calvin Ridley, Kim Kim Ward.
- 18:01Speaker 1: You know, I think I think he's been better than
- 18:03Speaker 1: his numbers say, but he's also not getting a lot
- 18:05Speaker 1: of help from his receivers or the line or the
- 18:08Speaker 1: O line and just one touchdown pass through his first
- 18:10Speaker 1: two games. Absolutely, it's been absolutely rough. Let's get over
- 18:12Speaker 1: to the tight ends. Who are your starts and sits over.
- 18:14Speaker 2: There, Florida. I said, I only want one of the
- 18:17Speaker 2: Browns tight end, So I have Harold Fannin Junior as
- 18:20Speaker 2: a start there. He's a joker right like, he's gonna
- 18:23Speaker 2: play all the different positions for the Browns, so I
- 18:26Speaker 2: have him as a start. I have Tyler Warren. I
- 18:29Speaker 2: think Tyler Warren has quickly reached must start status and
- 18:32Speaker 2: people need to start stop questioning him. Tucker Kraft to me,
- 18:37Speaker 2: is a start. Look my bad for saying to sit
- 18:39Speaker 2: him last week.
- 18:40Speaker 1: I was wrong.
- 18:41Speaker 2: He looks like a mustard option. Jake Ferguson is just
- 18:45Speaker 2: getting a lot of volume right now. He's been the
- 18:47Speaker 2: top two target each week so far. And speaking of volume,
- 18:50Speaker 2: there is Juwan Johnson who just has a thing going
- 18:54Speaker 2: with Spencer Ratler right now. And in my sits, I
- 18:57Speaker 2: have TJ. Howkinson as a sit. I have Evan Ingram
- 19:00Speaker 2: Mark Andrews. There's a friend here right like Big Games
- 19:03Speaker 2: who haven't given us any production and in some cases
- 19:07Speaker 2: aren't getting consistent volume. And then John new Smith and
- 19:10Speaker 2: Kada and to round it out, speaking of not getting
- 19:12Speaker 2: consistent volume that those two.
- 19:14Speaker 1: Guys, I want to ask you. I know you're big
- 19:15Speaker 1: on Harold fan and Junior understandably, were you right now
- 19:18Speaker 1: on David and Joku for this week?
- 19:21Speaker 2: I like Fanning a little bit more just because they're
- 19:25Speaker 2: using him in different ways. But I think David and
- 19:27Speaker 2: Joku is like a sneaky play because the Packers their
- 19:30Speaker 2: one weakness has been against Tipan.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, for as good as they've been, tidened,
- 19:33Speaker 1: like they've given up big points to Sam Laporta and
- 19:35Speaker 1: zach Ertz in the first two weeks, so and shut
- 19:38Speaker 1: down everyone at everybody else exactly. LaQuan Evan Ingram has
- 19:41Speaker 1: been a disappointment through two weeks. Troy Franklin's like the
- 19:43Speaker 1: number two option. Does this turn around this week?
- 19:46Speaker 3: We're hoping, but I'm not trusting him in starting lineups,
- 19:49Speaker 3: Like he is very comfortable on my bench. I mean
- 19:52Speaker 3: six tardest four catches from two games, and we're getting
- 19:55Speaker 3: a lot of hype from Sean Payne, but I think
- 19:57Speaker 3: that was the first mistake trying to trust Sean Payne
- 19:59Speaker 3: about Evan Ingram being so involved in this offense and
- 20:02Speaker 3: being the joker of this offense. But I do think
- 20:05Speaker 3: that you know, him picking up the injury very early
- 20:07Speaker 3: in the season kind of turned a lot of fantasy
- 20:10Speaker 3: managers off. He could bounce back this week, but I'm
- 20:13Speaker 3: not banking on it for it to happen in my
- 20:15Speaker 3: starting lineups this week.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm joker. The joke has been on fantasy managers
- 20:20Speaker 1: through the first couple weeks of the season when it
- 20:23Speaker 1: comes to Evan Ingram. So anyway, there's the starts in six.
- 20:26Speaker 1: If you want more in depth analysis, you can go
- 20:28Speaker 1: to NFL dot com slash start sit and get all
- 20:30Speaker 1: of Florio's picks for week three. Tom gett ready for
- 20:34Speaker 1: some spice. We got our spicy hot takes for week three,
- 20:38Speaker 1: So lakwan it is with your bold p for week three.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Wandell Robinson will have back to back top five wide
- 20:47Speaker 3: receiver performances and I'm putting a huge, a huge, huge
- 20:52Speaker 3: need for the Chiefs to step up and stop slot
- 20:55Speaker 3: wide receivers. As Florio explained, the Chiefs defense turn aound
- 20:59Speaker 3: the highest percentage two slot wide receivers. So I do
- 21:02Speaker 3: think at the end of the day. This short king
- 21:04Speaker 3: is playing very big for a giant to be in
- 21:06Speaker 3: that slot to make big, big plays. I mean, the
- 21:09Speaker 3: guy is short, but he's playing like he's six seven.
- 21:12Speaker 1: You know.
- 21:12Speaker 3: I had to sneak that in. That's a friend that's
- 21:14Speaker 3: going on. But I do think Wanda Romson has a
- 21:16Speaker 3: big performance one day. In terms of the usage the
- 21:19Speaker 3: target show, that was about normal from last week.
- 21:21Speaker 1: What was different? Like sixteen are yards per target for
- 21:25Speaker 1: a guy whose career average has been like five and
- 21:27Speaker 1: a half. Like that's the part that I'm like, I
- 21:31Speaker 1: need to see that again before I start to buy
- 21:33Speaker 1: into it. That's all Flourias for.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Bowl prediction for a week, it involves that game as well.
- 21:37Speaker 2: This is a huge must win game for the Chiefs
- 21:40Speaker 2: because if you look at their schedule ahead, it is rough.
- 21:42Speaker 2: You don't want to be going three facing the Ravens.
- 21:44Speaker 2: But I think it's a get right game for Pacheco,
- 21:46Speaker 2: like I was talking about earlier in the show and
- 21:49Speaker 2: tray me on Henderson. Part of it is because I
- 21:52Speaker 2: love these two players. But the real reason is I've
- 21:56Speaker 2: already spoke about how it's such a good match up
- 21:57Speaker 2: for Pacheco. I think the same thing for Travia On.
- 22:00Speaker 2: The Steelers have allowed a lot of yards on the ground.
- 22:03Speaker 2: They've allowed the most explosive runs to running backs in
- 22:05Speaker 2: the NFL, but it's all come on chunk plays to
- 22:08Speaker 2: the speedy backs. They shut down Zach Charbonney, they shut
- 22:11Speaker 2: down Braylan Allen, but Brees Hall and Kenneth Walker ran
- 22:14Speaker 2: all over them. The Steelers defense is older, it is physical,
- 22:18Speaker 2: but it's slow. And I think you give Henderson a
- 22:21Speaker 2: couple of carries in this one, He's going to break
- 22:23Speaker 2: a long one, and once that happens, I don't think
- 22:26Speaker 2: you go.
- 22:26Speaker 1: I think you and Adam Rank are on the same
- 22:28Speaker 1: train there about Trevon Henderson having the breakout this week.
- 22:31Speaker 1: For me, I'm staying with the running back as well.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Jordan Mason is going to be the RB one this
- 22:37Speaker 1: week because he was already starting to take over that backfield.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Then Aaron Jones has the hamstring injury which puts him
- 22:43Speaker 1: on ir throwing the fact no JJ McCarthy this week,
- 22:46Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I just don't think Kevin O'Connell is going
- 22:49Speaker 1: to lean on Carson Wentz. If he's throwing the ball
- 22:51Speaker 1: thirty times, things have gone really badly for the Vikings
- 22:54Speaker 1: in this one. I think it's a heavy dose of
- 22:56Speaker 1: Jordan Mason against a Bengals defense that's given up the
- 22:59Speaker 1: second most face fantasy points per game to the running
- 23:02Speaker 1: back position. We saw Dylan Samson go big against them
- 23:05Speaker 1: in week one, and we saw Travis Etn have a
- 23:08Speaker 1: huge game against them in week two. I think Jordan
- 23:10Speaker 1: Mason has an even bigger game against them in Week three.
- 23:13Speaker 1: So there you go. Those are bold predictions into the
- 23:17Speaker 1: third week of the season. That is it. We are done.
- 23:20Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
- 23:23Speaker 1: You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two friends,
- 23:25Speaker 1: rate review and remember, if two wrongs don't make it right,
- 23:28Speaker 1: try three. Be safe to care yourselves. Enjoy Week three.
- 23:31Speaker 1: We'll talk to you again on Monday.
- 24:00Speaker 3: Look at the w
