• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, what up everyone.
• 0:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm John Moosales and I'm those to the fancy animal today podcast.
• 0:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Today, I'm going to be doing some tight end rankings for a week.
• 0:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the fans football season, we're pretty much at the halfway point, so it's a really good good time to kind of evaluate what's happened, what's what's going to happen moving forward, what's kind of going to happen today.
• 0:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last week, I kind of went through some of the tight-ed rankings have been up to the season, and now we're going to do just a little bit more immediate short-term look at what just happened last week, this week moving forward, right?
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mason Taylor was a, was a tight-end one-track in the last week, right, can't incident, he'd kind of taken it back, back seat, but it's shocking, he's also 80 Mitchell back, they had a Mark Cooper who's blown up and Garrett Wilson.
• 0:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's too many weapons in the jets.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Mason Taylor thing is a little flukey for me.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not something I trust.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh... training fry ten and two quotes in loveland he's been the at a real sneaky kind of breakthrough play with cable was back uh... he's ten and three but we really do not like his match up this week of the playing Seattle settle is the what the the 30th of the third best team against uh... tight-ends
• 1:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, are you probably going to play LeBlanc anyways, but he's just not somebody I'm really, really, you know, looking at the start.
• 1:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I Dave Salm, he was a shocker tied in five.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm all right, he had just two touchdowns.
• 1:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Rams are addressing, because Big B's value on Peterra's, Taren Ferguson probably is the most talent who should be back soon.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those three 10-ends sets, so it's really the Rams are fighting for sub-eater replacement.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: They add them, especially with Book and it goes a little banked out.
• 1:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, but if we're looking at this week, right, we got, you know, the Stella Stephens is so bad.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, the Dallas Stephens is kind of what since he was last year versus tight ends, right?
• 1:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're allowing, you know, six, six more fancy points per game at tight end, more than the second we're seeing, which is Washington.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, the fact that McBride is playing Dallas, I mean,
• 1:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: He'd be the titan one over grunk on like the best well, I mean how the best game of his life, but that's how much of an edge a train with pride has over, you know, powers the titan to this week.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bowers has been pretty solid.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michael Mayers also is also pretty solid.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The but the jets are kind of sneaky.
• 2:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Get against tight ends, right?
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are the 20 27.
• 2:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: The worst team to play do you want to play a tight end versus if we keep going down.
• 2:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got dunking Kate off the buy.
• 2:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: But again, Baltimore, about middle of the pack.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can Kate has been pretty pretty terrible since his first two two games.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see today.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: How are they going to try and integrate him more in the passing offense he did at any targets against Vegas before the buy But he's only scored his one touchdown and really everyone dropped the KK four touchdowns So whereas like Kyle Pitts, Kyle Pitts is actually showing touchdowns, right?
• 2:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's got he scored three straight games.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would be you know, I'd be starting pitch over the KK even though Tampa is a nightmare team
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh, they're one of the best defenses of the league and they are, they are elite, we're tight-end run this one.
• 3:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I won't see them there.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I actually know, they're terrible.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're just the tight-end.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, they're the eighth best team with playing a tight-end.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that is a nice little spot, other little spots.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we, you've set your like reared in, uh, really play well, right, at being the tight-end vibe for the pads.
• 3:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But really Hunter Henry is kind of the guy we want, especially it's a top three team to play against sidelines, right?
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, Henry is a tight end one this week.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably going to be ranked just maybe inside outside the top 10, 7 for 7 last week.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He scored in two weeks before that.
• 3:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, with two tight ends, he's scary because, you know, you think every past to them, you know, it's a big white guy, you think, oh, that's a tight end, you know, went by tight end, and then it's especially in the right zone.
• 3:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can drive you crazy.
• 3:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: a couple other ones are kind of like a jig right we got terrible chlorine out bigs is banged up we go washing off the buy uh they're playing filly but filly has been pretty good right the 26 worst team to play the 10 ends against all right just for just quick teams you really want to play like Washington Raiders that's who we really that's who we want to try and target if we add
• 4:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, so right Dallas got her tan and Vicki looks okay.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they got blown out.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Billy looks like they're kind of just throwing in the south of the town.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a short week.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, uh, Barclay's probably toast.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, oh my god, he couldn't even do why he.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: want to run and he was done every series.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's my busy shoot out.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Goddard is definitely somebody I'd really like to start.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's a top five option this week.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just because Washington is just so bad.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't sit in and then if we're looking at Raiders probably on a bye.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, they're not actually.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're playing the jet, right?
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's what do you do?
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sanit's the town.
• 4:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's the rookie.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Mason Taylor was great, but I don't, I don't, I don't, you know, I think that was more fluky.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you, I guess if you wanted, it should take a real drop-on streamer and a deeper league.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: You could see because Mason Taylor is talented.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe lightning can strike twice because the matchup is great, but they just got so many weapons.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Gino's been spread around.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're also probably getting brief all back, right?
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's another, I might be another 10 to 15%
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, who else do we like here right these Rams had answer crazy because like you know hit me hit and hit me and really solid He had four four catches in four straight games 60 or yards in three of the four and then a last two he's got 36 yards combined So he's really hard to trust but she you know with the Davis Davis Allen or whatever his name is applying so well
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Harold Fannon, either guy, I'd like the I'd draft him fantasy, I'd like him all all season, Pittsburgh's pretty, what middle of the pack, or above average against tight ends.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: What do you put?
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's this Cleveland offense is just Joe Judgekins look good, the rookies are are solid, walks and had over 300 yards, but
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really like that Cleveland offense at home, rather than on the road.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really trust them.
• 5:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pittsburgh is a bit of a, I think, a past funnel.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that isn't a terrible option.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So TJ Hawkinson is one of the best options.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I got my things.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got my things flipped up earlier.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Detroit is the ideal team.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Detroit, too.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: You want to play.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ted and Zagan stals.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You want to play everyone against.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Detroit, so Hawkinson has the best match above the week.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: You pretty much have to start him just based on the matchup.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'd be playing Hawkinson over everyone minus McBride and Bowers the matchups that great, you know, obviously college sucks, but they're just giving up 100 yards to tight ends.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hawkinson has proved he can play well, right?
• 6:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was the tight end one, just in we four against Miami, right, which is another great matchup.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we came in on all, he's going to take advantage of the matchups.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Clark can sit in my start if he's on the wire obviously pick him up a start him Like I would be starting him over level of no problem.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you know, it's just not that great And just for terrifying Dallas is been on the backwards items.
• 6:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: So they're just so bad defending everyone else Especially running backs.
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess tight ends are falling through the cracks a little bit in terms of not getting as much attention
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh okay quickly uh Darren Waller had a good game but like i'm not starting tight in versus the packers packers with the second best versus tight ends.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right just for quick it's Minnesota Green Bay Seattle Rams those are the absolute teams you do want to play against right so if we just look quickly at the schedule right we got Laporta Laporta who did nothing last week uh which was shocking you've been great he scored in three of three of five and then hit one cat to 18 yards
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's tough because yeah, I'm sure you think he's going to kind of bounce back when I'm in a certain defense is insane like I'd be starting Hawkins in over Laporta all day every day 20, you know, seven times that's on that.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: But what I'd start picks I probably start pits over Laporta.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you just I don't know where I know he says, you know, trust the town.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I lean a little bit towards the matchup.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: If, you know, Defend has been a leap or to the tight end of the season, I just don't think does any ceiling, so like maybe yeah, you can hear like five or 60, but I'd rather I'd rather, you know, take a, a much better shot with somebody who's got a little more upside, like even, you know, Michael Mayer versus the Jets, Jets elite versus tight end, so maybe I wouldn't go there if I'm really like kind of streaming streaming.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Jesus, Mark Andrews versus the bills.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do what I really want to do that bills top 12 12 12 team to play play 10 ends against Andrews really, you know what 3 23 if Lamar's back may be, but probably not.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hunter Henry right that's I play I would probably play Hunter Henry over sample port of this week I'm just the matchup just it's just it's just the absolute extreme other in this bedroom.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, that's just going to do a little tight in ranking.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sorry.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a little You know non-fluid this week, but we're it working on a new system here, so it should be better
• 8:57
