Gerrit Cole To The Yankees, Week 15 Injuries, Mostert Breakout

Forever Show. Start listening to us or suffer the consequences. Listen, don do due didnit? Yeah, as welcome, Happy your Fie Day from San Fie God from say Francis Frank Stamp All ladies and tell me in your ps. With that we will get you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stamford, I am Greg suspen no e y on the program today. What's happening, Franky? What's going on? Man? Happy hump day to you. You know I would ask how you have slept. I slept

very well for a certain reason. But Craig, you want to sleep a little bit earlier. Last minute, I didn't go to sleep early. I want to sleep on time and I knew what was happening to right, So, uh, last night I watched a couple episodes of Succession, and I had a succe HBO program. You really like HBO? Most people like HBO. HBO guy, I think most people like HBS. Goes through the whole HBO Q cleans it out and say that I just HBO. Um So I'm watching Succession and I have now I'm sorry, Danny, um

So I'm watching Succession. I basically dreamed all night so how the combining Succession with our work, and it was like a crazy dream for those that watch Succession out there, nuts um. But I also knew as I was gonna been. I was brushing my teeth last night and you just following Twitter, and I was like, this Garret Cole thing is going to happen tonight. And I know what's happening tonight. I don't know what time because you're on the West Coast.

It's really is eight thirty there, but it's happening tonight, and I am I either gonna wake up and be thrilled or I'm gonna wake up and really upset. So I woke up pretty early this morning, and you know, I used to do that on Wednesdays, just like waiver wire. Rightly you're you're aunty to see your weaver wires. You would do it on Wednesday and you couldn't sleep because you're thinking, who am I gonna get off the waiver wire?

The whole deal. That's how I felt this morning that Garrett cole So I woke up to twenty three text messages in a group chat between myself, Frank and everybody of the diffroducer Sondro downstairs. Sandro's a monster's Yankee fan, and you know, all right, well, I know once I opened this up, like it's either really really good or really really bad. In fact, like when I went to bed last night, there's a lot of momentum where the Angels you texted out that everybody, every network was saying

he's designed the Angels, like what? And I felt some momentum brewing towards the Angels. So I went to I went to bed, I woke up. How do I want to know? How do I want to know? What happened? My old trusty rotal world is like, I'm just gonna scroll down and hope it says Yankee's next to his name, and it did nine years, three hundred twenty four million dollars for Garrett Cole. So after that once I read that was a weak right, Like I was up like an hour early, and I didn't even care because I

was awake. I was pumped. So I go back to all my tweets that I missed from last night, like right from the beginning, I don't want to miss anything. I wanted to see it as it was breaking. In saw John Hayman's tweet like I saw a building. It was awesome. It was so cool till the Frank's tweets. So Frank tweets out some awesome Yankee reactions like oh that's cool, like Frank's pump. The very next tweet is a tweet about so it starts, so us lest it

starts Kyle Allen's eight Quarterbacks advantage of Football. I'm like Frank, the grind never stops. Greg, the grind never stopped. I don't think it is in the like I look at what time he tweeted this out. It was about like one ten am last night, and that can't be true. I think it was. I think it was like one time I tweeted the Garrick Cole thing at twelve oh one am, right, and then I tweeted about Kyle Allen. Okay, sorry,

I was forty minutes off. It's fine. About half hour later, Frank starts tweeting about Kyle Allen, and I was like, nobody cares, no is here of this content right now I had to go back to work. You want things to get buried and lost, like you caught up with good facts, right this fact that Kyle Allen, like, hey, he's sneaky, like been a fine fantasy star. Gonna do say until the morning, and tweeted out, yes, well it is what it is. I tweet stuff when I find it.

That's you're gonna see people like me be like, I don't give a crap about Kyle Allen. Right now you have people like Sandro that she's just tweeting me like Frank, not the time, bro, Well what about now? Do you care about Kyle Allen? Now? You tweeted out now during the show. I mean it now we could have played it off like I tweeted, you tweeted what everyone's tweeting about Garrett Cole? You tweeting le out? What were they gonna say about Garrit Cole? I mean, yeah, it was

super excited. We're Yankee fans were exciting. Garrit Cole is joining the team nine years, A lot of money, three million, It doesn't matter, it's not my money. And I got people tweeting at me, whoa, that's a lot of money. Again, not my money. I could I couldn't care less about how much money he signed for as long as the Yankees signed Garrett Cole, which they did. Uh and soon enough. I assume we'll be moving into fantasy baseball once we

get into January. I've already had a few people tweeting at me asking, uh, when does the fantasy baseball talk start up? Greg? We had a while before that. We're not ready for that just yet. But I know last year year I couldn't believe it. I want like I won. I rarely win like content arguments with you, but last year I won this and it's really really rare. And last year we did not start doing baseball in the Monday after the Super Bowl. I was pumped. I nailed it.

And this year we didn't start doing football. So the day after fourth of July was always like my cutoffs, like they have. The Super Bowl is baseball season. The fourth of July. It's baseball season. It's a football season, and I won those content arguments this year. I feel like I'm not gonna win the dude, I'm ready to start doing it. I mean I've already done a little bit, but I'm ready to jump into fantasy baseball now. And you know, Greg, you you see Garrick Cole sign with

the Yankees. Obviously they are going to be a powerhouse in the MLB this year. How does it affect their odds? Right? So they move up to plus four thirty. They're the World Series favorite as of now for the season, and I think that makes a lot of sense, right Obviously, Uh, the Astros were the favorite. They're now plus five fifty. But you take away a picture from the Astros, like Gerrit Cole, you move them over to the Yankees. How about this, Greig, The Fandal Sports book is currently offering

Yankee special props. How about this? This is already open. The Yankees last year one a hundred and three games. You can right now bet the over one hundred and one and a half wins for the New York Yankees minus one fifteen at the Vandals Sports Book. That is easy money, easy we want a hundred and three games last easy money. They just added Garrett colet. This is easy money. If you want to jump over to the Fandal Sports book right now, you will find this under

Yankees specials right now easy money.

get to on the show. A lot of Wednesday practice notes coming out, Frank, most of actually very positive for players coming back, some some negative stuff, but mostly very positive, which is great. So I want to get into all that coming up. Do you want to ask you one more question on Garrett Cole. What do you got is Garrett called the first picture off the board and Fantasy

Baseball this year, he has been so far. I've I've dove into some of the NFBC A DP and it seems like, you know, it's very close between Garrett Cole and Jacob Degram. I would probably lean with de Gram as of right now, just because you know, no change of scenery. You don't have to worry about him in a new team. Look. Undoubtedly playing in Yankee Stadium, it's a hitter's ballpark. You know, it wouldn't be It wouldn't

surprise to me. If Garret Cole's e r A rises a little bit, the whip rises a little bit, the shrikeouts are still gonna be there. And he's right there in contention for you know, the top picture, you know, one of the top three pictures drafted. But Jacob Degram has just done this, you know, to three years in a row. He's been with the same team. Me personally right now, I think I lean Jacob Degram, but yeah, they're both right there. In that conversation, Greg, I think

the Graham's in there and think sures you're still in there. Um, Sures was going in the second round right now. Back injury. He's amazing, Yeah, but he had a back injury, and I think people kind of see what happened with Clayton Kershaw and how you know, he's been up and down through his back injury, and I think that's kind of scaring some people off. Shersy right now? Would you draft Macker? I did a mock draft where I took him in the second round in an auction. Let's go ahead, what's

what what's our plan for that auction this year? Greg? It's uh, it's December eleventh. I have not done much fantasy baseball research. I mean our plan last year I was a good plan, a well executed plane. Our team was terrible. No, So that means it wasn't a well executed No. No, it disagree. It was a good plan. We had a good plan. We executed the plan. We executed the plan. The players within the plan didn't work out. The backup players and the plan. We're really freaking good,

you know. For mostly the year last year we were we were mad at ourselves for Junia over Yellows actually worked out pretty good. Greg. That all right, don't worry, We'll come up with a good plan. We'll be all right. The plan is to draft players that have proven their Fantasy Baseball value before and are coming off down years, So players that you've seen do it, and we're gonna go back to those players so that that'll be the

auction value. But we've got a lot of time before then, Greg, alright, and I look forward to maybe competing this year in that league. I hope so too. All right, let's go on to football. I told you during the break with the practice reports him out for Thursday Night football. Oh, reminding the email Virginia during the break um the factors reports coming out for Thursday Night football. Today, we wanted to go over some of the major things. Lamar Jackson,

he is questionable with this quad injury. The only reason he's questionable is because they aren't allowed to use probable anymore thing. La Mark Jackson will start for the Balltiball Ravens tomorrow night. The real question mark is Mark Andrews, who practicing he limited fashion over the past two days. Uh, he was hurt on Sunday with his injury. I do wonder against the Jets if they lean toward having a

little bit more cautious. Uh, if they decide to um rest him for this week, then they have obviously ten days off before their next game. To me, I'd be very nurse on Mark Andrews this week. Yeah, likewise, and it would be a good matchup against the Jets. But you know, you've got to be cautious about Mark Andrews in this spot. Plus, you know, since earlier in the season, when you know he he suffered it's forgetting I'm forgetting

it now what injury it was. But he suffered an injury about you know, five six weeks into the season, Greg, And ever since then, his snaps have been down, his routes have been down. He still performing from a fantasy perspective, because Lamar Jackson targets him so much in the red zone, they clearly have a report together. Lamar Jackson likes to throw the ball over the middle of the field to his tight ends, and more more often than not, Mark Andrews is that guy. He is the past catching tight

end on a team filled with three tight ends. But I'm with you, man, Look, I'd have to have a pretty good option outside of him not to play Mark Andrews tomorrow, Like I'd have to have a Tyler Higbee uh Jack Doyle something like that, because I think if he's active, how can you talk to yourself out of playing Mark Andrews. Yeah, he's been the go to guy for Lamar Jackson. He has been. Even when he plays limited snaps, which you've seen earlier this year, he produces

touchdowns and he has the special rounds. He has his real connection with Lamar Jackson. If he's acting, you have no choice, but the plan have absolutely no choice, especially at this point in the season. Look, it's Week fifteen. He might be limited, but even if he's limited, he might catch a touchdown. He might only be using the red zone. He might catch two touchdowns. So just the way he's played, he's not like the slam dung top five or six tight end he's been for most of

the season. But he would still be in that, you know, top ten range as a tight end you have to use if he's active. Heading insto Thursday night, all right, I have the Jets in at the Jets injury report here as well. Your boy Jamal Adams. He's doubtful with his ankle injury. That's good news for Mark Andrews. If he winds up playing here. Um, Levan Bell not even listed on the injury report. So he's good at bowling and good at playing football. Hey two, better than anything

I've ever done. Great, that's awesome. But in terms of the matchup that is, that's a completely different story when it comes to Levan Bell here. And if you remember, he was actually the Baltimore Ravens were candidate to sign Levi On Bell in the all seasons they were they were. It basically came down to the Ravens and the Jets, and we saw a bunch of tweets about like never more and stuff, people referencing him signing with the Ravens.

Ultimately ended up not happening. Um, it worked out. From mark Ingram, he's been very good from a fantasy perspective. But uh yeah, look the Ravens defense, the way to attacked them would be on the ground. You know, their secondary has been phenomenal since Marcus Peters joined the team in Week seven. Not a single quarterback has thrown multiple touchdowns against this secondary against his past defense. So you know, if you want to attack this Ravens Devens, the way

to do so is on the ground. We just saw Devin Singletary have a solid game, not a not an amazing game, but people have had success running the ball against Baltimore, and I think that will likely be the the route that the Jets go down for Levan Bell here. Regardless, he hasn't been a great fantasy place so far this season. He's more of a middling RB two than than the RB one we were hoping he was going to be

this season. I agree, Unfortunately, and listen, we made the right call or the trade that didn't happen for us, not training away Aaron Jones for Levian Bell, which we tried to do week at the week after week, we made the right call. I know we do a lot of Adam Gaze bashing here on the show, and I heard I heard Gabe talking about Adam Gaze earlier today and commending him for the way that he's handling this situation. You know what am I so supposed to say? My

running back? You know, after he got ruled out of the game, we told him to go home because he has the flu, and he went out bowling. All that aside. If you're a head coach in the National Football League, Greg and you're supposed to be an offensive minded coach, How can you not figure out how to use Levian Bell? I don't want to hear the I don't want to hear the lame nonsense bs that I don't want to be on Bill. I never wanted him. Can you not one?

I don't care you have them. You have one of the most talented running back in the NFL and you couldn't figure out a way to use them. How is it possible? I don't know, man, Like I understand the offensive line is bad, but we just keep making excuse after excuse, and you know the people are doing that

for the Jets as well. And it's look, I understand like people were down on Levion Bell coming into the fantasy football season because Adam Gaze when he was in Miami, they ran at a slow tempo greg They didn't run a lot of offensive plays, and he did to have a good offensive line with the Jets. It really kind of like piece melist together heading into the season. They signed Ryan Khalil late, so he didn't think the offensive line was gonna be great. You had question marks about

the offense overall. But for Levian Bell to be as bad as he has been to for to see the snaps down the way that they have been the past couple of weeks to pass a month or so, the carriers have been down. He was, you know, visibly frustrated after the Bengals game that they weren't using him more in that game. The way to attack the Bengals is by running the football, and the Jets couldn't even do that with Levian Bell in that game. His targets have

been down, his receptions have been down. No, Adam Gates gets a lot of criticism Greg, but it is deserved everywhere that he goes. Look, he can't get along with Jarvis Landry trades him away. Uh you know, he trades him way to Cleveland. He ends up having a monster year this year. He's out performing Odell Beckham, J Jay you know, had a great year with with Adam Gates. And then the next year he trades them away because they can't get along and they can't figure things out.

I mean, at some point you have to look in the mirror and figure out that you are the problem. It's just crazy to me, man, I don't understand how whether or not you want this player or not. I think any coach in the NFL that got Levan Bell, Greg would be smiling from ear to ear. How is Adam gaysc the only one that can't use him? Feel like Freddy Kitchens would not know how to use him. Maybe maybe, but the thing's Freddy Kittens would be happy to have him. He would be happy to have him.

He still might not know how to use him. I mean that's you know, that's a whole different conversation. It's just crazy to me, Like I would imagine any offensive minded head coach. Imagine Kyle Shanahan would Levy on Bell. Dude, Just imagine how excited he would be. I mean, he brought a figure out. You have a great article. You know, I'm a Chattahan guy, um of basically whemotion, giving them no chance, giving him no choice rather in San Francisco,

but to go with their guy. Which is awesome because I was reading this morning, Evan Sili was tweeting out that most it has been around the league for seven or like five years, seven different teams of standing on special teams to get an opportunity with the Niners. And when you get an opportunity with the Miners, please go well, yeah, especially when you're running back into Coyle shanahand System. So actually shout out to my buddy Constant Team, my NFC

co owner. He sent me this article earlier today, so we will talk about that. The breakout for Raheem Start and if you read this, you have to have a log in. How should you need to read the article? Yes? I did? How should you rank Raheemo start? Heading into week fifteen? Great?

We were able to read it. You have gone over your San Francisco Chronicle articles of the month. What other articles did you read from the San Francisco Chronicle. I don't know. Anything can be on the niners cleave it on about politics?

I don't know, alright, So should I just read you this whole article as part of the segment I will. I will give you a synopsis. It's a lot of what you've already said about how you Kyle Shanahan he wants to use a committee approach. I mean that's what he showed us, you know, the past couple of years while he's in San Francisco. But Raheem Mostert has made it so difficult for the forty nine ers because he is running as well as he has. He's averaging over

six yards per carry. They talk about him having deceptive speed here and that defenses don't expect that out of him. Now, you know, defenses are gonna game plan a little bit more Forwardheem Mostert, but it's hard to argue with the usage and the carries that he's getting right now in one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. I'll rid you a few quotes here of Raheem's earned it over the last few weeks. Shanahan said, I mean, how many games can you go and how many years can

you go averaging six yards to carry. We keep trying to balance it out, but what Raheem has done these last few weeks and has continued to do, we need to give him more opportunities. He's given us no choice. I'm happy for him, and it's been great. He's been extremely impressive. So based on that, Greg, you know, I've been getting a lot of questions and and this one keeps popping up a lot. Venture asked me this exact

question downstairs. I believe it was yesterday. He said, Raheem Mostert going up against the Atlanta Falcons at home, or Devin Singletary going to the Pittsburgh Steelers to take on Pittsburgh. Now, you know, the Atlanta Falcons have been tougher against the run this year, but that's just because everyone can throw against him. So teams are you know, opting not to run the ball against Atlanta when you could just throw all over them? You know, wide receivers and tight ends

have been killing the Falcons all season long. I think it's a fair question, and I think they're both in a similar range of of RB two. But it's hard for me to get away from Raheemoser right now. I agree, Man, it's really tough. I know the weather is supposed to be pretty bad in Pittsburgh on Sunday night, which could lead to a lot of attempts for Devons Singletary. This is real hard man um from getting away for Raheemo

Start and the Nineries. He don't wants to run the football, and then they didn't do it against the Saints in a really good spot against Atlanta UM on Sunday. I think I would go with moster. The Falcons are allowing just four point zero two yards per carry against running backs, but again, they've just you know, everyone's just been able to throw all over them. And the forty Niners are

huge favorites in this game as well. They're eleven and a half point favorites at home on Sunday against the Falcons. Here Shanahan going up against his former team, so I'm sure there will be no love loss there. He will try his best to pound the Atlanta Falcons into the dirt, and I'm sure he most will be you know, someone who is helping him do that. You know, it's hard to argue with the snaps, the usage foremost right now. You know, Matt Brita is explosive, but he has been

injury prone and Tevin Coleman has been a nothing. Greg He's been a zero. It feels like that four touchdown game that he had against the Panthers was three years ago. That was the season that was you know, at the midway point of this season. Ever since then, he's done nothing. And that was the guy that they signed in the off season. But you know. This is this is This is from the Pete Carroll Seattle Seahawks train of thought, Greg, where I'm just gonna go with whoever is playing the best.

I don't care about pedigree, I don't care who we paid. He most is the guy is not He's not he's the guy you're you're. What you're saying is right, but it's not the Pete Carrol line of thinking. Mike Shanahan thinking.

Mike Shanahan was like, well the running backs by Shanahan right where he had all this money tied into all these running backs and it didn't matter because from Mike Anderson to Orlanda's Gary to Clinton Portis and Arrell Davis, for sure, guy at the guy at their guy unknown if they know, if they're unknown, stepped up Alfred Morris with them in Washington right for years was a rbady

one in fantasy football. He most is the latest in line and why because any running back can be good in the Shanahan system, and right now where he most is playing better than Tim and Coleman, better than Matt Breta, and better than Jeff Wilson Jr. All of them, and that's why he's getting the carries. I'm not saying two

weeks from now in your playoff fantasy right. Like, it's really interesting if you're in a playoff fantasy pool trying to figure out which running back it is, because if all of a sudden one of the eyes are are not doing well, it's over right. So right now, most it's the guy I trust Moster did you're righting him? Basically? Yeah, Look, I'm with you. He's He's an RB two right now. There's no doubt about it. You know, even in a perceived tougher match up against the Atlanta Falcons here, I'm

not getting away from him. You know. It's a tough matchup for Devin Singletary as well, going up against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are allowing just three point eight eight yards per character running backs. They're actually better against the run than the Atlanta Falcons in terms of limiting running backs so far this season. So I like the usage for Singletary as well. He's been very explosive. You know, I saw earlier today, Um Baldinger he does bald Balding

Baldi's breakdowns. He tweeted out the top five most explosive runs per touch so far this season, and Devin Singletary is number one, Raheem Moster is number four on that list. So these two running backs are are very explosive. But it's hard for me to get away from that forty Niners offense right now. So all right, let me move on to a bunch more positive, not a bunch more, I'm saying, much more positive news. There is a lot of positive news going around today. That's good. It's a

lot of good stuff happening. And originally Minnesota where Adam Feeling returned to practice today for the Minnesota Vikings, and according to Moman, Adam Schefter barring a stepback this week, and he never step back two weeks ago, but barring a stepback, is expected to return to the line up on Sunday against the l Ah Chargers. Against the Chargers too. And look, this is a tough spot because the Charges

have been really good against the past. I got Drwin James back recently, and they've been really tough against all wide receivers, slot receivers, outside wide receivers. So this is gonna be a good test for everybody involved, for Kirk Cousins,

for Stefon Diggs, for Adam Feeling. I think if you own Adam Feeling, you know, earlier on in the season, he he was the go to guy for Kirk Cousins and basically whenever theeland has been healthy, he has been uh you know, the the seeing the higher target share

in this Vikings offense over Stefon Diggs. It seems it really seems like Kirk Cousins likes to lean on that slot receiver and over the middle of the field, and you know, he used the tight end for years in Washington, so that's typically where he likes to target you know, his passes. But he is He's done some amazing things with Stefon Diggs this year as well, so um, because of the matchup, I think I ranked these guys a

little bit lower than usual. And Feeling first game back, you know, I think Feeling is more of a low and wide receiver too high and wide receiver three this year, whereas he was, you know, one of those low end wide receiver ones earlier on in the season. Did you go back just Devon Diggs and Feeling next year in drafts? Obviously, the price the price, but like I remember, we were so down on pace for a thousand yards season, I

don't like crazy. Yeah, he's The thing is, it reminds me a lot of tile Will Lockett from last year where he's doing it so efficiently right this year, so like he's not well. That's because a Doug Baldwin retired in the off season. We didn't know what to expect from DK Metcalf coming into the year, and for most of this season when Lockett was healthy, he actually came through like he was great for fantasy. I mean the past you know, three weeks or so often dreadful. I don't.

I don't know if I'm still kind of diving into wide receiver stuff that Seattle Seahawks are going up against see Carolina Panthers, Like I get it, Like the match is amazing. He has been. He's been very bad. Zero dude. Yeah, And it's tough because we have a lot of these wide receivers right where it's like they're talented guys, but they haven't been performing. Odell Beckham is in the same He's in the same kind of what we talked about him,

and we have no problem bending him. But the thing is, this week against the Cardinals, Greg, how do you beat against the Cardinals? But literally Panthers defense is terrible to Since since November three, where he had eight teen targets a hundred two yards and two touchdowns, he has had eight receptions over four games, or less than a hundred yards, zero touchdowns. It's not good. It's nuts. Well, you know what,

Russell Wilson hasn't been good recently either. Well, that's just like more of a team philosophy thing, right, And I mean, this is so frustrating from a fantasy perspective, because if they would just unleased Russell Wilson. And I understand they want to play defense, they want to run the ball, they want to be the Seattle Seahawks from you know, six seven, eight years ago, legion of boom. You're not

that team anymore. Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll is a good coach, maybe even a great coach, Greig, I'll go as far as to say that, but you almost have to adapt to what you have, and what they do have is Russell Wilson. So honestly, I feel like if the Seattle Seahawks would just unleash Russell Wilson, give this guy thirty five pass attempts per game, and really start to lean

on the past a little bit more. You can still run the football and kind of the way that the Los Angeles Rams do it right, where you're running football to set up to play action, but you still have that dynamic passing attack right, or at least they did

last year. If the Seattle Seahawks would just unleash Russell Wilson more, this guy would not only be amazing four of their team like the sal Seahawks would might even win even more than they do now, but he would be one of the you'd probably the best fantasy quarterback in the league right now. He only has one monstrous game where he really blew up for like forty fantasy points. In his past seven games, Greg, look at the game

lock for Russell Wilson, it's been below twenty. He's been real seventeen eighteen fantasy points, which is fine, but it's not what Russell Wilson is capable of doing. And and part of that is due to uh him being hampered by the team philosophy of the Seattle Seahawks. And it really is a tragedy just for the NFL for fantasy in general, because they are robbing us of seeing even

more spectacular play out of Russell Wilson. Other players were turning to practice today include Damian Williams and the Kansas cy Chiefs. We had no idea when he would be back, well this week, maybe maybe possible as he returned to practice here on Wednesday. Yeah, I still feel like we don't really know when Damian Williams is going to be back, and it's a crapshoot anyway. This teams resigned Spencer where last week they had three running backs ranked between seven

percent and fort of the snaps. Spencer where led this team in snaps a week ago. Nobody was great from a fantasy perspective. It wasn't tougher match up against the Newland Patriots, but the Chiefs haven't been able to run the football all season long, and I don't think that that is going to change with a probably less than Damian Williams in the lineup, even if he is, so, I basically just want to get away from this came

back and let this backfield, so we'll see. Yeah, he might leave the backfield, but it is a tougher match up against Denver. Denver has been pretty good against the run this year, and they've been actually allowing more explosive plays in the passing game. So this might actually be a game where Patrick mahomes, Entiree Hill and Travis Kelsey and all of them to get back on track. We got more players coming back and even more sitting out,

So who those guys are. NFL season is now upon us and you can be going the eighth person away one million dollars in a FanDuel Draft Kings tournament.

All right, so we're back here on the BFF scre salesman Frank Stamford. We have all the players returning from injury today, which is awesome news, and then some players that are not practicing today, which we need more information. Only begin in New England where Julian Edelman did not practice for the Patriots today. Edelman has been

bothered by I believe a shoulder injury for a while now. Um, he's played through it every week. He's been questionable every week practice today. I don't know if that's a veteran day or something to watch for. Frank, Yeah, it strikes me as a veteran day. Um know. Look, he's the only one that they could rely on right now, and he's clearly playing through something. But he's been great from a fantasy perspective. So pay attention to this throughout the

course of the week. And that's why a lot of the times, Greg, it's hard to answer people's fantasy questions on Tuesday or Wednesday, were getting all these line up questions, Like we have to kind of wait and see, let things play out a little bit, see how the practice reports shake out and who's healthy and who's good to go. But I would I would mark this as, uh, not really a big deal. Okay, we'll see, let's see what happens tomorrow. Um. Just a note Damion Williams before we continue,

he was testing out that rib injury today. Obviously he's back on the practice field. We'll see what he's listed on after practice Demonte Freeman did not practice for the Atlanta Falcons today. No news on what's going on with him, but he was not at practice. You do wonder when it comes to Demonte Freeman. He has had some injury issues, including this year, and we're back to Brian Hill season. Yeah, potentially.

I mean, I wouldn't want to trust Brian Hill. Last time we tried to do that, Greg, didn't really work out so well now. But DeVonta Freeman since he has returned, played right around sixty seven of the snatch each of the past two weeks. Took advantage of a great match up against Carolina last week. UM San Franz dealing with some injuries on their defense right now. You know, based on the usage for DeVante Freeman and the fact that he's seeing the most of their running back work. If

he's healthy and good to go. He's low n RB two high inflex against San Francisco. But this is something to monitor heading into the weekend. Greg, I am looking for news on Derrick Henry here because I haven't seen anything. Obviously, he was banging up uh in the Titans win on Sunday. I have not seen anything on him about practicing today. I haven't seen anything on Derrick Henry either. Greg. Yesterday when we signed off, we got some news items after we were gone for the day that I feel like

we should address. Marvin Jones m j J and Alston Jeffrey both are done for the season for their respective teams. Does this open up anything that interests you? I mean it probably just leads some more targets for zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard. They'll run more twelve personnel there, maybe more work for the running backs. And any interest in Boston Scott Craig does this? Does this spark anything in your mind when it comes to the Lions and the

Philadelphia Eagles. You know the Eagles are without all these wide receivers. Again, we'll see if they can get us in aglare back, but JJ Artigo Whiteside is gonna play, But like how effective is he? E'zact Arts is their number one guy? Obviously, Dallas Gotter continues to be in the mix. I think Boston Scott, if you started, it's desperation.

I know, um a buddy by Jeff Van Jeff lost his league because a guy for some reason, like one of these schmucks that sneak into the playoffs at Jordan Howard in their starting lineup, which was never gonna happen. He hasn't played like a month. He really picked up Boston Scott. So Jeff wound up picking up j J I just to hold him off. So his choices were Malcolm Brown played on UM Sunday night or Boston Scott. But the Monday night the Boston Scott. But I line up.

That's Jeff lost man. He needed like fifteen and a half points for Boston Scott's. I've heard a lot of bad beats. It's a bad one, right, That might be one of the worst. Greig, that might be one of the worst. Yeah. I think there might be some relevance, at least on the Detroit side of things, because they're going up against Tampa Bay and both scarbros banged up and we didn't use on him I as well. I

haven't seen that. We'll see what happens with both Scarborroo, but you know they could lead to more work for j D. McKissick. Uh. All you gotta do is I don't I don't know if you'll be able to bowlieve this week. I need to believe, and I don't know that you want to believe against Tampa Bay either, Greg, So we might have to calm down the bow Scarboro Love heading into Week fifteen. But Danny Amondola and Kenny Golladay likely just gonna see more work heading into this

matchup with Tampa Bay. Even if Kenny Golladay's triple teamed Greg, He's probably still open against Tampa Bay. Absolutely, So you have to bring up the fact like that, as you mentioned Danny Amondola, like is he on the radar this he played eight of the snaps last week? He ran around a ninety percent of those snaps that he played. So look, I think a lot of these players that we talk about that that are filling in because of injury,

these are more desperation plays, right. You know the players that we talk about talked about yesterday on the Waiver Wire show, the A. J. Browns, that Darius Layton's you know, some of those Tampa Bay wide receivers who were stepping up and Alan Hearns. You know, those players rank ahead of some of these other desperation plays. But you might

be playing in a deeper league. You might play in a high stakes league or or a fourteen team leaguer deeper, and I think they're Danny amendolah against Tampa Bay as if voth Scarborough is banged up and there's no Marvin Jones, they need somebody to catch passes there. So I do think that, you know, if you're desperate in this matchup against Tampa Bay, Yeah, like you can do worse than

daniy Amendol. Kind of ridiculous in my league. I mean the summis in this schmuck who finished the first place overall. It's a great word, thank you. First place overall, has two defenses on his team. He has two kickers on his team. Take notes, Craig, this is how you get the first place. He has two quarterbacks on his team. In clearly Russell Wilson is one of them. If you any first or last his bench was his backup quarterback,

Carson Wentz Kyle Kyle rude Off. When he has Zack Arts on his team, it sounds like my dad, Danny Amendola and Adrian Peterson. Oh, there you go, the old This actually sounds like my dad's team, Dad who texts me crazy things. You know. He's part of the old Guard of fantasy football, where he's like, well, we're going into the playoff weeks. I've got to have a backup quarterback. I've got to have a backup tight end. You never

know who's gonna get hurt. I'm like, oh yeah, if you if your guys get hurt, and then you can pick up a tight end. Then he's like, no, no, no, I've gotta be ready. I've gotta be good to go. And then it's like even those backups that this person has, like old reliable guys Kla Kyle Rolf, Like this is that's a dad team. That is a dad teams. Not this guy is not a dad. It's also a first place team. It's the first place team. He's got two kickers.

He's had two kickers all year, Harrison. But look, I can't condone that even defense is the only way you shown two kickers and two defenses, Greg is if your waiver wire is locked for the year, right, it's the only way I've side of that. Look, I can condone Adrian Peterson, I can contone I'll even maybe even Rudolph I can't condone the two defenses in two kings kind of can do the two defenses. Well, yeah, if you're

planning for the future. That's fine. Like, essentially, if you have a defense that has an amazing matchup this week and the den is an amazing matchup next week, and use he had to buy, he could prepare, that's fine. That's what I did last week. So I had to buy in the first round of the playoffs, and I picked up the Bills defense last week because I knew that they were going to be going up against Duck

Hodges and the Steelers this week. So my my opponent actually picked up the Bills overnight last night to play them against me, which is like, I don't know, but like rists, this guy owns the Rams is one of his two defenses. He's not starting this weekends Dallas. That's what I'm next week, inst Francisco, what are you doing? Who's his other defense? Steelers? You're facing Buffalo and something night. Sure, I guess you can use them there and the Jets

next week, so you're probably not using them. You're not using but the RAMS defense has been very good, so you know what it might be the strategy there and say he's been very good. Frank, the Rams defense, they have not been very good. They allow like seven hundred points to well, everybody allows Steven under points of the Ravens. Greg. Look at everyone else that they face. Since they've got Jalen Ramsey, they've been pretty good at a lot of points. Man,

But it's Baltimore. Everyone allows. The Patriots allowed points against Baltimore. Everybody allows points against Baltimore. I don't. I don't think that you can really hold the Rams accountable for that. Their their defense has been pretty damn good. I think the other point to holding onto the defense there, Greg, is that somebody else can't pick them up and use them against you. Nobody wants the Rams, Yes they do. The cowboy who are the Cowboys? Man who cares? The

Rams are probably gonna have a good performance against them. Seahawks. I think the Rams are probably a top twelve defense against the Cowboys. Speaking of defenses, people are asking us in the chat, would you rather use San Francisco who is banged up against the Atlanta Falcons are just black? Whatever? What would you rather use? The Kansas City Chiefs at home against the potential revenge ex girlfriend's situation bowl against Drew Lock? So you know what you've done investigating reporting?

This is what I do for you. So I found out earlier today that Drew Lockley starting quarterbacks with Dever Broncos evently from the Kansas City area, obviously went to Missouri. We were girlfriend Gracy Hunt, daughter of Clark Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs. Drew Lock quarterback Denver Broncos used to date the owner's daughter of the Kansas used to date. So my immediate follow up question to you was who broke up with who? Don't have that knowledge?

If Drew Lock broke up with the owner's daughter, the Chiefs are gonna kill Drew Hill this week. And if the girlfriend's gonna be like, I'm going to kill you, Yes, if the Chiefs. If if the daughter broke up with Drew Lock and you know that he is going to He's coming back out there three yards, three touchdowns, back to back games. So this is what you need to know, Greg, But ultimately, what do you got? The Forts defensive, the Chiefs defense? And I know where Germans out, but I'm

still using especially at home big favorites. We're probably gonna get a lot of dropbecks out of Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons here. We're gonna see past volume that is gonna lead to so many sacks for the San Francisco forty Niners. You know, Richard Sherman is a great player. It's still a very good corner at this point. But if the Falcons are dropping back and throwing the ball a ton against this pass rush, there are gonna be sacks. You're likely going to get turnovers as well. The Chiefs

defense has played fine, and I like the Chiefs. I can't use them over to the San Francisco forty Niners this week. Uh, and here we go, Greg. Since the by the Los Angeles Rams have had nineteen nine negative one against the Ravens, eighteen and fourteen fantasy points in their past five games. It's against the Ravens. Look at their other four games have been great. I like the Rams defense. It's fine, man, that's fine. Uh. Evan Ingraham

practice today New York Giants, as did Daniel Jones. Yeah. Well, you know, Evan Ingram practiced all week in a limited capacity last week and he ended up not playing. So just man, Evan Ingram's in one of those frustrating players all year. The guy has a ton of talent and it's clear that you know, the Giants offensive playbook this year, Greg was geared around the tight end because even with Evan Ingram out, they've been throwing the ball to Cayden Smith.

You know, Darius Layton had the big game last week, but I'm sure that they would have loved to have everything on the field more than they did this season. Uh and so would fantasy owners. So it's been a real, real frustrating situation. How about Josh Jacobs this whole Josh Jacobs, this is crazy. He gets an m R I and it comes back that he's he's fine, his shoulders fine. The guy's playing through afractive shoulder. Greg, how does m R I come back clean? Good enough? He's good enough.

He's expected to play against the Jaguar. So everything that we said about DeAndre Washington yesterday and Monday, just apply that to Josh Jacobs and he's gonna be a top ten play at the running back persion this week. It'll be great for DFS. Greg. Does this mean bye bye bye to DeAndre Washington. I'm not dropping him. You gotta

make sure he plays. But that sucks. Man. If you put money on him last night, you use your top waiver claim on him, because at the time of last night when you put that waiver claim in you good. You don't know anything about at all. And this is again this goes back to you know, obviously we are here to help you, we want to help you, but when you ask questions on Tuesday and Wednesday, Greg, it's very tough because we don't have all the information that

we need yet. Of course, we need the entire week to play out. You know what the practice reports are, you know is Josh Jacob is actually gonna be good. There are gonna be more reports that come out throughout the course of the week. So don't drop DeAndre Washington yet. But based on this report, it's not looking good. No, it's not. No, it's not. Um what else did I have to make sure? Greg Olsen coming back just in time to Ruiney and Thomas Come on, man, it sucks.

He so he practiced, uh, you know, in a limited capacity like individuals. That's the thing, right, Like when you have a really build it up, you gradually can do more. I think even Greg Olsen's gonna play can cut your protocol. Man, this isn't one like one of the hand really wanted. Ian Thomas here picked him on Spots night in elite spot where I had. Kyle Rueff is my tight end. So you know, Kyle Rolf puts up the doug last week. Look, if Kyle Roff isn't scoring touchdowns, he's not gonna be

great from a fantasy perspective. I was really excited about Ian Thomas. He had the ten targets last week. Is a good match up against the Seattle Seahawks. This is another one to pay close attention to. If Greg Olsen is not out, Ian Thomas is a legit top twelve tight end for me. Another no practice on Wednesday, Alexander Madison not practice for the Minnesota Vikings today. I will see what his reporters tomorrow. Dalvin Cook did about that

sort offense. Dalvin Cook, all of a sudden the most healthy running back in the backfield for the Minnesota Vikings. So funny, what what is Dalvin cooco next? Here? Greg up three? Five? You're not ready to say top three yet? Probably three? Yeah? Verse kwon right, Yeah, CMC number one obviously sure and you can make the argument albol cooks number two to Mark Jackson snumhere too, maybe saying Frank's Neville. I am Grex Sausa. Thank you so much for watching

listening to the BFFs. We'll do it all in tomorrow. We NFL season is now upon us, so you can be going the eighth person away one million dollars in a FanDuel draft Kings tournament.

About half hour later, Franks starts tweeting about Kyle Allen. I was like, noody, got that right now? I had

to go back to work, gig. You want things to get buried and lost, like you caught up with good facts right this fact about Kyle Allen, Like hey, he's sneaky, like been a five Fantasy star. Gonna do say until the morning and tweeted out yes, well, it is what it is. I sweet stuff when I find it. That's you're gonna see people like me be like, I don't give a crap about Kyle Allen. Right now you have people like Sandro that she's just tweeting me like Frank,

not the time, bro, Well what about now? Do you care about Kyle Allen? Now? You tweeted out now during the show. I mean it now, we could have played it off like A tweeted you. You tweeted what everyone's tweeting about Garrett Cole? Your tweeting Kyle? We'll wing it out. What are they gonna say about Garritt Cole? I mean yeah, it was super excited. We're Yankee fans were exciting. Garritt Cole is joining the team nine years, A lot of money,

three four million. It doesn't matter. It's not my money. And I got people tweeting at me, whoa, that's a lot of money. Again, not my money. I could I couldn't care less about how much money he signed for as long as the Yankees signed Garrett Cole, which they did. Uh and soon enough. I assume we'll be moving to Fantasy baseball once we get into January. I've already had a few people tweeting at me asking, uh, when does the fantasy baseball talk start up? Greg, we had a

while before that. We're not ready for that just yet. But I know last year year I shouldn't believe it. I want like I won. I rarely win like content arguments with you, but last year I won this and it's really really rare. And last year we did not start doing baseball in the Monday after the Super Bowl. I was pumped. I nailed it. And this year we didn't start doing football until the day after Fourth of July. Was always like my cutoffs, like day have the super

Bowl is baseball season? Of the fourth of July, it's baseball season. It's a football season. And I won those content arguments. This year, I feel like I'm not gonna win the dude, I'm ready to start doing it. I mean I've already done a little bit, but I'm ready to jump into fantasy baseball now. And you know, Greg, you you see Garrit colesign with the Yankees. Obviously they are going to be a powerhouse in the MLB this year. How does it affect their odds? Right? So they move

up to plus, We're thirty. They're the World Series favorite as of now for season and I think that makes a lot of sense, right Obviously, Uh, the Astros were the favorite, they're now plus five fifty. But you take away a picture from the Astros, like Garrit Cole, you move them over to the Yankees. How about this, Greig. The Fandal Sports book is currently offering Yankee special props. How about this, This is already open. The Yankees last

year one a hundred and three games. You can right now bet the over one hundred and one and a half wins for the New York Yankees minus one fifteen at the Vandals Sports book. That is easy money. Easy We want a hundred and three games last easy money. They just added Garret Cole. This is easy money. If you want to jump over to the Fandal Sports book right now, you will find this under Yankees specials right now, easy money. GREA.
