  Speaker 1: Citnam Show. Welcome everybody. My name is Marcus Grant. This
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: is Michael f. Florio. It is week nine. We're gonna
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: talk about some starts in siths, which, uh what, there's
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: four teams on a buy this week. I imagine it's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit easier. Is it harder when there are
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: teams off?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit easier to find starts because I
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: can go a little bit deeper and if they don't
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: come through record be like, listen, all these guys. The
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: CITs are where it gets a little hard because I'm like,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: even the players, the big names that I'm like, maybe
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I would normally say to sit, I can't tell you
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: to sit.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Them with everyone on by Yeah, it's a little bit harder,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: especially with so many injuries too, it's really hard to
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: figure that out. Of course, we talk about the Stardom
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Cittum column, which you can find at NFL dot com
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: slash start sit, and on the show today, we're gonna
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: talk about the top starts in sits of week nine.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you who will pile up the points.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Plus we're gonna let you know who to target in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: some trains as we get down to the stretch run
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: of the fantasy regular season. But I know a lot
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: of you out there a lot of times get frustrated.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I know his Twitter mentions get a little bit hot
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sometimes and things don't work out. I'm gonna let you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: know this man is on point more often than not.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: For proof, look no further than last week when he
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: talked about Joe Burrow against the forty nine ers. Look,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the matchup on paper against the forty nine ers seems
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: like one you don't want to mess with. But you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: got some confidence in Joey b this week.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna give Joe another I did that terribly.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him another shot this week.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Burling and gone back. At the seventh, we're looking rolling
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: right joining in the.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: Un Jone caught big, don't trot.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Fyers run for the end zone for the touchdown, takes
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: a pass to the right throat towards the end zone,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: chase whether it over the shoulder, guts touchdown that goes Oh.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Baby, Apparently I wore the same shirt last week. I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: promise you I cleaned it between then and that same
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at your quarterback starts in sit
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: list for a week and nine. How about you take
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: us through it.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow again, and you all are Marcus. Everyone is
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: far too kind for that. At the top of the show,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Dak Prescott very much so back in our fantasy lives.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: CJ.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Stroud didn't give you as big of a game last week,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: but I'm sticking with him. And then Sam Howe has
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: just become someone you want to start right now in fantasy,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And I said the CITs are a little bit harder
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with all the buys. Gino Smith is stilly sit. Matthew
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Stafford if he plays, I would get away from him,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and then Jordan Love Baker Mayfield maybe you were considering
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: streaming them. I would go in another direction this week
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Stafford right now, last report is a true game time
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: decision as they're trying to figure out what to do
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: with that thumb. So that's one you're gonna have to
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: keep a close eye on up until Sunday. Let's talk
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: about Dak Prescott though, because he's starting to get hot.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Had a big game against the Chargers before the bye,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: had a big game against the Rams after the bye,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: and for his good as the Eagles have been they
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: have some holes defensively. Yeah, and that is why I
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: think you can just start Dak Prescott this week and
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I will take the l for last week. I had
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: him as they sit because I wanted to see big
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: pass game numbers out of him, and he came through
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: with that. Over three hundred yards four touchdowns. It was
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: by far the most yards he has in a game,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and he had more touchdown passes than that. It equal
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: to four games previous to that. But now we're seeing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: him throw the ball better, We're seeing him run the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: ball more. And like Marcus said, the Eagles are great
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: against the run, but they struggle against the pass. They've
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: allowed the six most passing yards, third most passing touchdowns,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: fourth most fantasy points per games to quarterbacks. And we
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: know that Jalen Hurts and them are going to put
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: up some points on the other side, so I expect
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Dak to have to throw a whole lot more than usual.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think this is going to be a really
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: entertaining game, a really high scoring game between both these
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: ball clubs, and Dak in the last three meetings against
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, really big numbers nearly three hundred passing yards,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: eleven total touchdowns, just one interception. You mentioned CJ. Stroud
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: didn't have the big game we had hoped four last
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: week against the Carolina Panthers. The Bucks defenses so so,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: but we're still rolling with CJ. This week.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm rolling with him. The Bucks. Their defense isn't great,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: but they're better against the run than the pass, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the Texans run game has been brutal this year, so
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think CJ. Stroud will have to throw the ball.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: The Bucks on the year are in the top ten
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: and fantasy points per game and yards allowed to quarterbacks,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: but in the last month that becomes top five. They've
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: really struggled against that. Plus they run a lot of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: zone coverage, the eighth most in the league. CJ. Stroud
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: has been going off against zone coverage so far this season,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: So I think Stroud is someone especially with the injuries
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: in the Boys Marcus, I think he's like comfortably a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: top ten fantasy quarterback this week.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: He has just so many quarterbacks that are hurt or
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: off this week, and it's gonna be hard to not
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: have to go a little bit deeper on your roster
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: to find somebody to start. In the meantime, it feels
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: like a good opportunity to mention if you haven't heard before,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: there's a game in Germany this week, the Dolphins and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs live from Frankfurt. You can catch that game
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: only here on NFL Network or stream it on NFL Plus.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Things get going from over in deutsch Land nine to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: thirty am Eastern, six thirty am Pacific. And that gets
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this to our look at the wide receiver starts and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: six four Week nine, I do see a Chief hang
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: around there at the bottom of the start side. Who
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: else you got?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Rashid Rice one hundred percent should be in your
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: starting lineup this week. So should a Marii Cooper in
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: a good matchup against the Cardinals. Josh Downs has been
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: eating each week with Gardner Minshew Garrett Wilson in a
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: good matchup. And I'm giving Zay Flowers another chance this
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: week in what I think will be a bounce back
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: game for the rookie some six Christian Watson, just because
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love. Right now, Josh Palmer is banged up and
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: has the hardest possible matchup for a wide receiver, kJ Osborne.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I need to see him do it without Kirk Cousins first,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: especially in a tough matchup, and then Michael Wilson. He
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: has one catch all year against man coverage. The Browns
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: are in the top four and how often they use
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: man coverage I get away.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And on top of that, he very well could have
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Clayton Tune as his starting quarter. Jonathan Gannon is playing
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: KOI with this whole like, Oh no, no, we're gonna start.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You're not putting Kyler Marine there to get taken down
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: by Miles Garrett's first game back. You're not just gonna
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: throw Clayton tun into the Wolves. You're gonna try to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: gain next week. Let's talk about Garrett Wilson though, because
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: we had high hopes for him coming into the season.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: That lasted for all of four plays until Aaron Rodgers
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: got hurt. The last two weeks, though, things have been
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a lot better for Wilson and it's a good matchup. Yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: over seventeen Fantasy points in each of his last two.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He's reached fifteen or more than three of his last four.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: And what I particularly love, he has been the Jets'
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: first read option forty six percent of the time this year.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: That is the highest rate in the NFL. And again,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the ceiling isn't what we had hoped it would be
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: with Aaron Rodgers, but even in his down games, he's
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: sitting between nine and ten Fantasy points save floor, still
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: somewhat of a high ceiling. And now he gets the Chargers,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: who allowed the third most Fantasy points per game. The receivers,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: they allow a bunch of yards and touchdowns, and if
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: any offense could put up points against the Jets, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: think the Chia the Chargers are one of them, which
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: means that they could have to throw the ball more.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: For the Jets, I do think they're they're gonna have
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to throw the football. And Zach Wilson and Garrett Wilson
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: seem to have some sort of vibe right now, so
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think you ride that as long as possible. Christian
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Watson and the Packers they get the Rams and LA's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: secondary really has been sort of generous. But Jordan Love
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just has been just honest, He's been awful lately.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what's the opposite of generous, because
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that's what he's been. Fifty percent of Christian Watson's targets
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: this year have been deemed uncatchable. There's nothing he could
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: do if he can't catch the ball like he could
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: get open. If your quarterback can't put the ball in
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: his vicinity, what is he supposed to do? And then
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they really particularly have struggled against zone coverage half of
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a fifty percent catch right against it. Jordan Love has
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a forty two point one passer rating when targeting Christian
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Watson against zone and has thrown three interceptions, and the
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Rams run zone coverage seventy six percent of the time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: For that's about five percent more than league average. So
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: just a lot going wrong right now for Christian Watson
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and the Packers passing attack. I know the upside is
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: always so high, but until we see it, I think
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you could get away.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Feeling very shades of last year's Atlanta Falcons with Marcus
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Mariota couldn't hit his receivers and we see how that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: sort of worked out. So Christian Watson, maybe get away
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: if you can. This week coming up running backs and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: tight ends, plus we take a trip to Club Dumb.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Stick around for more of the Stardom Centum Show. Start
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Sit running backs for Week nine, Florio go.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: You're starting both of your colts running backs this week
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: because Panthers, I think Josh Jacobs is in store for
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: a bounce back performance, as are all the Raiders. Joe
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Mixon is back, as Joe Burrow is back as well,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: and then Darryl Henderson Junior has been really strong. He's
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: taken over your sitting, Miles Sanders. You're sitting Damian Pierce
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: and you are definitely sitting Alexander Madison. The fourth running
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: back there was Najie Harris. I'll take the l there.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: You know who was on that. Lakwan Jones was all
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: over that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Nagio. I don't know what to do
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: about Naji, but it was a nice night last night.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He got on the end zone. What more can you
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: ask for from Najie Harris. Let's start, though, with the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: two Colts running backs, because you know, we were worried,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: like how would Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss survive together?
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Not only both surviving, they're both thriving in that backfield.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, last week, Jonathan Taylor played over sixty percent of
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the snaps, went for almost one hundred yards. He was
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: still outscored in fantasy points by Zack Moss, who got
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the touchdown. Moss has outscored Taylor in three of the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: four games that they have played together, but we are
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: starting to see Taylor take over slowly but surely a
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: little bit more. But again, this is largely about the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: matchup as well. Those two are great, but they get
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the Panthers this week. Whove allowed the second most fantasy
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: points per game to the position that includes the third
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: most yard and the most rushing touchdowns, So both of
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: these two could feast this week.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, Zach Moss still getting it done, the fact
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that he's losing snaps to Jonathan Taylor but still being viable.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And then you got Scott Shane Steichen basically saying, look,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the reason we don't give Jonathan Taylor twenty five carries
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the games because Zach Moss has been too good, so
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: they just can't really get away from him. At this point,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson stepped in since Kyen Williams has went down.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the guy who, what three weeks ago,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: was watching football like you and me just say on
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the couch watching it. Now he's the lead running back
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: there and he's going against a Packer. Look, don't let
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Jordan love struggles distract you from the fact that the.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Packer defense has also been bad this year exactly that,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: and they've especially been bad against running backs. So far
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: this year, they are allowing one hundred rushing yards per
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: game to the position. They've given up six rushing touchdowns
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: in seven games. They're also of giving up a bunch
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: of production through the air, and they've allowed these six
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: most fantasy points to running backs. And Daryl Henderson probably
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't get enough credit. Played half the snaps last week,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: gave he twelve carries, two targets. Yes, it's frustrating to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: see him get them down to the one yard line
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: and then Freeman came in and got that touchdown last week.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: But Henderson is the one that leads them on the ground.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: He's the one that gets used in the passing game.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I think he is a very strong start this week,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: especially giving the buys an injury.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You know, and with all the tumultuous relationship that Sean
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: McVay had with Cam Akers for a couple of years,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: he really just keeps coming back to Darryl Henderson, and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Henderson just treats him well, like maybe maybe you guys
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: should just go on and make this like a thing
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: long term, because it seems to be working. Out for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: both sides. There. All right, let's look over to the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: tight ends and take a look at who Florio. Things
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: should be starts and sits for the week.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Who you got Donkin Kid is a must start tight
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: end this week. I really like Trey McBride as well.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Taysom Hill is a quarterback, running back and tight end
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: all in one, so you start him and then Fergie.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: They're going up against the Eagles. We talked about how
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: they give up a lot of pass game production since
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Cole Comet. This one's a little spicy. Not a must sit,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: but if you can get away, if you have an option,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Tyler Higbee, this is just not enough production since Cooper
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Cup has been back. Luke Musgrave and then Juwan Johnson
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: is giving up half of his tight end routes to
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Taysom Hill, and he doesn't run or throw passes, so
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you get away from him.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Taysom Hills not only stealing Jawan Johnson's opportunities, He's taking
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Jamal Williams' Goaline opportunities. I mean, just he's crampist man.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Just taking stuff out of people's Christmas stoppings is all
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: he's doing. Right now. I was talking about Tree McBride though,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: because we have been hyping him up. The fantasy community
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: at large has been hyping up Trey McBride, and he
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: has produced. And the Browns, for as good as they
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: are defensively, they seem to have a blind spot against
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: tight ends.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and in his first game with zach Ertz inactive,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: all Trey McBride did was go out and have more
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: catches than any Cardinals tight end in franchise history. Took
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: one game for that. Trey McBride last week eight twenty
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: five point five fantasy points was the tight end one
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: fourteen target, ten catches, ninety five yards and a touchdown.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Know zach Ertz again this week and on the year,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Like zach Ertz was heavily targeted, Trey McBride has been
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: heavily targeted. Thirty two percent target share for the Cardinals
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: tight ends. That is the second highest in the league.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I don't care who they are facing. When your tight
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: end is getting that much volume, you need to start them.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just don't know how you get away from
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Frey McBride at this point. Although I'll say the quarterback
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: situation doesn't make me a tad nervous at least for
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this week, and then another guy we've been hyping up
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: for a while, Dalton Kink. I mean, we've been on
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: this train since the summer. Finally that train has arrived. So,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't really know what else to say.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I'll let you talk about it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, both of us. You've been on him since he
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: played us.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Has been over a year now.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I've loved him since the draft season, and it took
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit of time to come to fruition. But
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it is happening.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: He is real.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: He is spectacular over seventeen fantasy points last week, over
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: fifteen and two straight heavily featured in the red zone
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: for the Bills. Could quickly become the number two target
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: for Josh Allen behind Stefan Diggs, and especially this week
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: because the Bengals have allowed the second most fantasy points
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: per game to tight ends the six most yards. I
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: keep saying it. This is gonna be a lot like
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Sam Laporter early in the year, where I'm gonna tell
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: you every week to start him until it becomes too
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: obvious and you just you do it automatically.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully we are getting close to that. Of course,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens when Dawson Knox comes back, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: until then it is the Dalton Kincaid Show in Buffalo.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Time Now for club Duh, we got the guys. We
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: guarantee we'll score twenty five or more Fantasy points.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Who you got. Look, Devanta Adams, he is going to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: go off this week. In my opinion, last week he
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: could have had a near seventy yard and then a
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: legit ninety eight yard touchdown if Jimmy g could hit
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: him in stride or put the ball anywhere close to him.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: AOC and his one start this year through thirteen times
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to Devonte Adams, and you're seeing videos of DeVante playing
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: basketball on a mini hoop in there in the Raiders
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: clubhouse right now. They just look like they're rejuvenated, like
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: they've been freed of something that's been holding them back.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And I'm expecting a huge DeVante Adams day now this week.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is gonna be the ultimate Squeaky Wheel game
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams is gonna get eight ton of targets
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this week. For me, it's gonna be Travis Kelcey and
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I could sit here and tell you that the Miami
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Dolphins have given up the fourth most receiving yards to
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: tight ends. And I can tell you that the Dolphins
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: have given up the sixth most received or given the
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: fourth most receptions, the sixth most receiving yards of tight ends.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I can tell you all of that. Are they given to,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: like the sixth or seventh most fantasy points per game
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: to tight ends? Or I'm gonna sit here and say
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Travis kelce man, like, it's just it's just Travis Kelcey.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: He's gonna get targets, he's gonna make plays as much
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: as we like rashe rice and what he's brought. He's
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver, Like we have to make
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: that distinction. He's not the number one pass catcher in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Kansas City. It is Travis Kelcey. And in a game
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: that could end up being very back and forth there
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: in Germany with a lot of points scored, you know
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes is going to go to number eighty
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: seven a whole lot. So I could give you all
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: sorts of analytical reasons about why and how the Dolphins
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: can be beat through this way or that way, or
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I could just say, Manny's Travis Kelsey and what he
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: does is score lots of fantasy points and I'm gonna
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: stick with that. So there you go.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: That is the pilot there or Taylor Swift is in
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Germany I think a week later. So Travis Kelsey's just
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: warming up stuff for her.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Oh really, she's not gonna come hang out. I mean,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: she's got a lot of stuff to doro. I'm sure
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: she's busy. She has a way to promote and stuff
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: too or something. That's what I've been told. Anyway, still
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: to come, we are going to propose some trades that
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: you could be exploring in your league. Everybody needs to
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: help with their roster, so we're going to try to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: help you out with that. Stick around for more of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the Stardom Centum Show. Let's talk some trade targets, because
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: this is about the time of year you should be
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: looking to upgrade your roster and joining us, as is
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the custom here on this show. Lawan Jones sporting a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: fiery out cast his shirt. Yes, mom, okay, I don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: want to get you know, hit with a you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: an askap violation or anything like that. Let's talk some
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: trade targets though. Florio, who is a guy that folks
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: should be trading away or trading for I.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Think you should be trying to trade for Jonathan Taylor
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: right now. We have yet to see him have a
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: game where he gets all of the work or anything
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like that. Zach Moss continues to be a thing there.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: But the schedule for the Colts is pretty favorable moving forward.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: They get the Panthers this week, then a couple of
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: weeks down the road, they get the Steelers, who struggle
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: against run, and then a championship week they get the Raiders,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: who that could be a league winner performance right there
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: for Jonathan Taylor. And if you want to wondering who
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: to give up, I think someone like Dj Moore is
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: a fair trade to give away. Like that's someone who's
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: a very solid wide receiver too, with more upside than
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that and can get you a big name like a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor. Yeah.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: No, I completely agree with that one. More running back
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: trade targets though, La Kwan Josh Jacob has been kind
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of on the struggle but this year, but you still
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: think you should go get him.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, right now, I'm looking for steady volume. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: mean I need some consistency in my life right now,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: and he's like one of three running backs right now
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that have over one hundred and sixty touches, and he
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: had sixteen fantasy points last week against a tough run
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: defense with the line, so I think he would be
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: a great trade target right now if you're looking for
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: somebody that has the volume, there's no question about his
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: duty in the red zone, et cetera, et cetera. I mean,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: right now, I'm thinking about trading away like an Aaron
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Jones or a Calvin Ridley, because these guys have just
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: been up and down all season. So if I'm looking
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: for stability at the volume standpoint, I think Josh Jacobs
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: would be the perfect person, being that they just blow
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: up the entire staff, so he might be motivated to
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: put some fantasy points on the board.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: The Raider locker room right now is like my sixth
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: grade class when our teacher had a mild health scare
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and missed the second half of the season. It was
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just a p that sub and by the end of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: the year we had two competing comic book stores on
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: opposite endo the classroom. It was why for me, I
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: think a guy uhould be trying to get his T
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Higgins And I picked this one because Michael F Flooryda
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: has been saying it for some weeks that he just
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: got sick of it, so somebody else had to pick
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: up the torch and run with it. The Bengals offense
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: is getting better, and T Higgins is improving as part
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of it. Look, part of the reason Higgins struggled earlier
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: in the season is also because he had a broken rib.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but it feels like it's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: hard to play football with a broken rib. He's healthy,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow is healthy, the offense is getting better. T
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Higgins is about to have a blow up game. Try
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to get in now, and maybe the guy you want
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: to move is a guy like Gus Edwards who is
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: playing really well. But Gus Edwards also might be about
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: at his ceiling. This feels like a cell high opportunity
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: for a guy who's getting a lot of work but
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: maybe not going to be as productive as he has
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: been the last few weeks. Let's go around the horn
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: one more again. Look, Isaiah Pacheco, he runs angry, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: maybe that's what you need on your roster.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Look, you want Isaiah Pachecko on your team, unless you're
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Blade of Grass, then stay far far away from him.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: But to me, this is a lot about the schedule.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: He still gets the Raiders two more times this year,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: he gets the Packers and the Bills, who struggled against
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: the run, and then in the championship week what could
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: be a very high scoring game against the Bengals. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: he has been very, very good a borderline at Harby one,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I would say, so far this season. Yet, Fantasy football
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: is a game of perspective, and I don't think that
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: perspective has caught up yet. I think people still view
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Pachecko as like a solid Arby two that doesn't catch
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: a bunch of passes, even though he's getting more usage there.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: So I think someone like maybe Zach Moss and Tyler
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Lockett a trade like that, you could swing that and
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: get Isaiah Pachecko for the second half. Yeah, no, Isaiah Pachecko,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Roy Kent' run like they're angry at the grass. It's
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: pretty much how it works out. But he's playing really
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: well this year. It's time to recognize that.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: We have been saying for weeks to some people go
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: get Josh Downs. Hopefully he's picked up off the waiver wire.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: If he is, you should try to trade for him. Huh.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, I mean if you're looking for a productive wide
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: receiver two for the Colts right now, I mean he's
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: playing great football next to Michael Pittman. If you look
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: at the last four games, Josh Downs and Michael Pittman
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: numbers are very similar. I mean they're both averaging sixteen
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: fanasy points per game. They both have a pair of touchdowns,
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: but the difference is that Josh Dowens has more receiving
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: yards than Pittman. I mean, if you look at Downs,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: he's one of three rookies right now that have a
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: twenty percent or higher target share. So if you're looking
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: for a productive player, I think you can get Josh
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Bawens straight up for a trade for George Pickens. I
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: mean you get rid of George Pickens because obviously you
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: got Deontay Johnson back there demanding a healthy thirty one
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: percent target share. I think you're going to be looking
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: at George Pickens as a more touchdown dependent wide receiver,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: So why not go and get a Josh Downs as
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: a productive wide receiver too.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: From we're seeing that George Pickens struggles to drag his
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: toe when he has touchdown opportunities, So touchdown dependency, it's
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit sketchier now when you start to look
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: at that. I don't know if you guys have heard
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: this anywhere, but Rashie Rice is the number one wide
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: receiver in Kansas City. We've only said it a million
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: times over the last few weeks. Go get Rashi Rice
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: if you can. This isn't like the Tyreek Hill days
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: where you know that Patrick Mahomes is going to hit
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: him with a ton of targets and he's going to
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: go out there and give you twenty five points a week.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: It's not like that.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: But if you're looking for a secondary wide receiver, if
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you need to bolster that position on your roster, Rice
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: is going to get opportunities. He's still attached to a
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Andy Reid offense. It is what we want.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: And if you're looking to see who you can get
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: rid of, a guy like Kareem Hunt is a nice
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: option to move at this point because Hunt is getting
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of the goal line opportunities in Cleveland. The
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: touchdown upside is there, but he's still going to split touches.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Whether it's Jerome Ford, whether it's Pierre Strong. Kareem Hunt's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is never going to have that full backfield in Cleveland.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: But you aren't giving away just somebody who's a bum
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: because he's gonna score Fantasy points because he's gonna find
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: his way into the end zones. That feels like a
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: pretty even one to one swap.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not even I have this pending trade in my
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: home league. I'm begging the Rashi Rice manager he needs
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: a running back, and I'm like, come on, do us
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: both a favorite this. He's like, that trade is so fair.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to do with this.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: It's so fair. I don't know what can we social?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Can we clip this off and give it to Floridal
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: so we can send it to his league mates. We can,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you know, expedite this trade. It's so fair. I don't
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: know if I wanted.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's a first for me that.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: You know. It feels like inside like because when we
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: do this job and we offer trades to people who
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: aren't in the industry, the response is, what do you know?
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: My holy they will not trade with me ever, because
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: they're like, no, you know something.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: You know something? What do you know? Why do you
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: why do you wonder? Like you man like, leave me alone?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Just exactly.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: The scriptwriters they let us in there.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we signed on some table reads early in the season.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: It's it's just wait till week sixteen. Man, it gets crazy.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I'm just We've also made up
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: most of this show, but we hope that you enjoyed it.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We do have some facts in there too. Trust us,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: it's going to work out. It's pretty big good. That's
• 23:43
