Yeah, it is as the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network alongside for Reggie's nevill I am Greg. So it's been

that's going on about it, Greggy. Here we are week twelve in the books, Thanksgiving, now behind us, getting ready for the Fantasy playoffs, and of course trying to figure out how to replace Melvin Gordon. Well, the answer is that's easy answer these answers. You don't replace Melvin. You don't, no, man, Yeah, I missed you, man. I feel he's been a while since we hung out. Yeah. I was just thinking that, Yeah, because I did a show. I did the Thursday Morning

show on Thanksgiving. It was like it was really the first show. It was the first show a long time. Um. Besides, we were gone for one day that I feel like I've done that yet. It was weird. It's very weird. Mike Blewett and Gabe, how did that show go? The chemistry wasn't the same? Wasn't the same? They weren't dancing with you or anything? No, no, no pop culture references. No Dave matt Use band talk three days wait to go to the concert though, that'd be fun. Nice you're

going this week Thursday? Thursday? No, I'd rather watch football, isn't it? Saints Cowboys too? That's a pretty good game, Greg, I have tickets ready. It's a week now. I'm already in the LEADU. I'm going to the playoffs and locked in the playoffs. I'm not. I'm not. Oh the sweet sweet revenge, Greggy. Remember yes, our best friend forever Michael Florio remember what he too timed me to get Anthony Miller times son of a gun. He also picked up

a Garrett Blunt and start room. I'm Thanksgiving? How about hilarious? Started the Garrett Blunt but annoying. I'm up nineteen points and he is kiki QT tonight tonight, I think I'm in the clear. I feel pretty good. I'm confident. I'm not gonna say it's over, because anything can happen, but I feel pretty good. Get my revenge against Michael Florio. Good job, Brandy. How's your Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving? It's pretty good.

I enjoyed it. It It was my Uh it was my first Thanksgiving where I didn't spend a little of it at home because obviously engaged. Now you gotta kind of gotta please all parties involved. So half at King's house to eat food, and then I went over to my house for dessert, drank a bunch, woke up drinking some mimoses,

and watch the parade, then watch football all day, eat family. Yeah, fun shop On Friday, that uh, not really stuff because I found out that, uh, I had to make an appearance on television Greg because I'm a big shot now. So I spent a lot of Friday night studying for my appearance on w l n Y. It was good. It's better or worse than your first appearance. It was definitely better, a little bit more comfortable. I also went for for four and one on the picks that I recommended.

So there you go. Oh hit me back, Grego. Now they already asked me about like December and stuff. So awesome. We'll find out that great man. How was how was your Thanksgiving? Your weekend shopping experience? You know what? Thursday? It was good, thanks it was fine. I was here for a little while and we uh, I went out to my dad's and and are you a big parade guy? You were like, watch it on TV or attend it? I mean I watched it out here to the last

couple of years. Yeah, I went out during a commersional watch it. But my sisters are really big. My sister and mom are really big into the parade. I'm not really I don't care about it, um, but Scrooge Friday was the best. Friday was the best. So great sleeping, I mean, I mean, I don't know for you, but just like for me, sleeping in relaxing. So I got home. So I got home to my apartment like eleven o'cock

or so. On Thursday, I watched they watched wrestling, to watch the end of the Thursday the Saints game, and then I watched a little wrestling, and I fell asleep through the AJ style. You no clue, I haven't watched it. Yeah, um, so I went to bed. The best part was Judy was in Philly with her family, so myself, oh, single

Greg and the back to paddle along. And it was like the first time, like a week day, like it wasn't like on the weekends, like we have some day with Saturday and Sunday morning programming, right, so like I'm on call for that stuff, like I gotta help, I gotta help certain issues. So most days before the show, like somebody calls me for whatever reason. But there was there was no live programming early in the morning on Friday,

so I slept like eleven on Friday. I was like, oh my god, dude, it was like the latest n I've slept in a long time. And I just I slept straight through the night and like we wake up a million times. I was spread out through the bed. I was like, oh, this is the best day ever, the best day ever. And I just laid there. I watched a bunch of TV on Friday that I had

dinner my mom, then went shopping on Saturday. Good weekend, man, really big weekend for the sun and then I came home and I didn't have to hang out on Sunday, so they want to get home quickly. That was on my couch all day watching football. It was awesome, great, great weekend, forty weekend. We're we're we're vitalized. We're re energized. Here the stretch run for the Fantasy playoffs. Greggy, have

you ever seen the movie Just Friends. It's also on the list of like stupid funny like movies Ryan Reynolds. They should see Ryan Reynolds things. But I don't think I know that one. Well, that's a big like Thanksgiving tradition, watch throughout the holidays for my family. It's extremely funny movie. You should watch it. Okay, it's a good one. So I also did that on Thanksgiving. Um ready yeah, okay, So we watched football yesterday. Also, just for the record

a little bit, I watched a lot of it. It's a lot of it. Yeah, okay, cool. So I watched a lot of football yesterday and here are takeaways. Melvin Gordon thing charges messed up. Huh. Yeah, he was questionable for this game. A lot of people asking us yesterday whether or not he was whether he was gonna play. They were worried about it. We're getting questions Saturday night. It's like nobody really don't know until we know. But then obvious, So he played, and you know he did

Melvin Gordon things. I mean, he's still scored, still scored two touchdowns in this game on only uh on only ten carries, also had two receptions. But yeah, re injured his knee in this one. Looks like he's gonna miss the next few weeks. Obviously the biggest story. And I know a lot of people, you know, this is what they get frustrated about Melvin Gordon. I know, last year, I believe you only missed one game, but in years past he has missed time. He has trouble, you know,

finishing out seasons. But you can't be too mad at the guy. I mean, like like Craig said, it's that he shouldn't have been playing in this game. They were what fourteen point favorites when it was all said and done against the Cardinals. They probably didn't need him to win this game. That one of my thirty five points, they won my thirty five points in this game. And now it looks like he's gonna miss at least the

next two games they faced. They faced the Chiefs three weeks from now, so you'd have to imagine they play the Steelers next week. He's definitely not playing in that one. Then they play the Cincinnati Bengals. The way the Bengals are playing right now, their defense can't stop anybody. They likely don't need Melvin Gordon for that game, So you let him sit up the next two weeks. Will healthy

come the Chiefs in Will that be week? I don't think nobody knows, but I I'm gonna I'm gonna go out there and predict that that's probably the next time we see Melvin. Go. Yeah, I don't think that. I don't think you'll see him that soon, I think, And we wanted for that because fantasy playoffs in this great match up. From what we've seen, this is agreede to m C. L. Spray, which is, you know, more significant than the Grade one obviously, and I think they'll keep

him out for a good amount of time. Unfortunately, and after we gave the charges all this credit for sitting Melvin Gordon out in London going into the bye, and he was and he's trying to talk his way into playing Ethnicnes like, you know what, we have a byby

coming up. Let's rest doesn't get this right, something happened here, Frank, like the Chargers have their eye on the playoffs, not a win against the Arizona Cardinals, which ultimately you couldn't need Melvin Gordon four and given that they scored forty two unanswered points, they didn't And to let him talk him players are always gonna want to play for the most part, to let him talk himself into this game after you were so smart about this earlier in the

year and you had control over the situation, to lose control to let a player talk himself in the game that you you don't want to. You don't want him to be hurt for the stretch. And I understand this isn't It was not the hamstring. He hurt his knee, and maybe they are unrelated, maybe they are right. Maybe his needs which the wrong way and maybe bang the wrong way and it's nothing to do with the hamstring. But this is a bad call by I thought, Anthony Lynn,

the Charges the organization, Yeah, definitely. And now you know we're looking at Austin Ekeler to see, you know, what will his usage be while Melvin Gordon is out. And in Week seven, when Melvin Gordon missed that game, Austin Ekeler played of the snaps. In that game, he had twelve carries. He also had five receptions. That was against the Titans. He didn't perform well, but the Titans run

defense has actually been pretty good this year. And then yesterday Austin Ekeler weird game for the Charges running back back over roll because by the time that they realized Melvin Gordon was ruled out for the game, they were already up so big. So Austin Ekeler only saw of the snaps yesterday five carries, did have ten receptions though was targeted eleven times um. And then Justin Jackson also played thirteen snaps yesterday. He rushed seven times for fifty

seven yards. So obviously, if you own Austin Ekeler with Melvin Gordon, you think you're in the clear. But if you don't own Austin Ekeler, you know, we talk about fab every single week at this point in the season. You know a lot of people don't have a lot of fab left. If you were a Melvin Gordon owner and you don't have Keler you're I think I think you know you didn't necessarily mess up. I mean, you

want to have your handcuff. But if you didn't, you're gonna want to be aggressive to try and get Justin Jackson. Because I don't know that Austin Ekeler is just going to Justin Jackson. Yeah, that's right converted. I mean he plays that he plays in the Sacramento Kings, right Greg. So they just suited him up yesterday for the Los Angeles Chargers. But seriously, I mean, he looked good yesterday. Seven carries, fifty seven yards, eight point one yards per carry.

I know a few people we are talking him up throughout the preseason. Um believe he's a rookie, right Dustin Jackson. They just they just drafted him this past year, so they're excited about him. I don't know that Austin Ekeler is gonna touch the ball as often as Melvin Gordon did in his absence all these not you do, you don't have this guess you know that that that's not gonna happen. There's not even even so like when when Melvin Gordon was doing his thing this year, Austin Neckler

was still touching the ball. So definitely Austin Ekeler. You look at him, maybe touched the ball in Melvin Gordon's absence at least fifteen times. Maybe his ceiling is twenty. But Justin Jackson is going to see the ball at least eight ten times a game. I agree, But but I think that's more of a desperation play than anything else. With nobody being done with boys, I'm not spending if I'm not on Elvin Gordon er, which I'm not anywhere. Actually,

I agree with Justin Jackson. But Austin Ekeler, are we talking RB one? Well the next couple of weeks, No, he's not. He's um he's a high end RB two. I would say he's in that ringe. It doesn't matter because it doesn't matter what using even matter what he's locked and loaded into your line up. Philip Rivers was saantastic yesterday his first twenty five keenan now got rolling. Mike Williams look good yesterday being the big guy in the end zone. The big guy Greggy caught all four

of his targets twenty five yards and two touchdowns. I don't really know why the Chargers don't You who's Mike Williams more because he certainly looks the part, especially in the red zone. They just throw it up to him. I mean, he's a huge human being and he's scoring touchdowns at a great rate. So I wish that they would just kind of like phase out everybody else, like we don't need a little Travis Benjamin like three or

four targets a week. You know, Tyroll Williams has been fine for this team, but he's a He's an impending free agent as well, so is he gonna be part of the future. Maybe they bring him back. But they use a very high draft pick on Mike Williams, So I I wish they would just kind of like, alright, let's let's kill all this other noise around and let's just run the offense through Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Melvin Gordon went healthy. Now Austin Ekeler, but I think

that would be ideal. That would be awesome for fantasy purposes. So Mike Williams actually had to start him in the league yesterday like desperation, didn't want to, so that was that was great, But uh, you know, Keenan Allen is keeping up that streak. Now four weeks in a row where he's had at least a hundred yards or a touchdown. He's doing that thing again where he just takes over in the second halves of seasons. So Keenan Allen, you feel great about him. I know some people were asking

me about Philip Rivers over the weekend. Do I started hammling Lamar Jackson. Everyone is getting excited about Jackson and Jameis Winston and Baker Mayfield. Just start with little Rivers every week. Stop questioning it. In three touchdowns even in a so so matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. I think Philip Rivers has had multiple touchdowns in every game this year. Greg, Yeah, what are we questioning at this point? I don't know. It's just because every single game this year, Greg, six

touchdown to I N T ratio. Philip Rivers playing the best of his career at age thirty six. It's crazy that Philip Rivers bet Roethlisberger both playing really good football. Get Ben in just one second. Eli Manning obviously a very much the league downside of his career. Well, what are you talking about? Greg? I think he was I thought he was a great DFS play this week. You were you You weren't on Eli Manning against Philadelphia Eagles, Greg, No, no, no,

he wasn't. Frank he was in your cash game line ups yesterday. No he wasn't. Frank be a cash game. I had a very big cash game line up. Did not use an the tournament. Good job, Frank, I guess I had Christian McCaffrey. So that helps, certainly helps. Let's get to a spurg who upset yesterday by Denver. Juju Smith Schuster had a ninety seven yard touchdown, which was awesome. Uh, Judy was very excited, very very excited. Ju Ju. D you did you? Did you? S Cooker? I didn't. That's

a teen name. Yeah, I don't think you revealed that until right now. Cool. Yeah, she's got she's got Juju and and she's Judy. You can't write this stuff, Greg, he really can't. You really can. She draft Juju Smith Schuster for that the only reason I obviously came up with the team name afterwards. Oh but she didn't just draft Jus like I'm jud You know I didn't mean

like that. You know what you know she holds over my head is that I told her not the draft Juju, because she drafted in the fresh She draft the first first round Antonio Brown and the second round draft the Davante Adams is a ten It's ten tvbr and in round three she's just like, got I'm gonna draft Juju. And I was like, well, yourd of Antonio Brown? What are you doing? And she's like, I think he's the best player on the board. All right, all right, then

are let me? Let me host the show with Judy next year throughout the draft Season's me, what did I do? Did I tell her to start the wrong person? He did? Oh no, she's mad at her start with Marlon Mack over Aaron Jones. Oh and she says she's not gonna do that anymore. Yeah, I stand by my decision. Sorry, Judy, Hey would have done it myself. There you go. So anyway, with Pittsburgh, m Antonio Brown had a good game, as did Juice miss Schuster. Antonio browns having like Tonio Brown year.

But I was looking at it like it's it's kind of like a weird Antonio Brown years that like he's not he's not getting as many yards for getting like his eighty yards per game is like the lowest since he's been like a superstar player like in the past like seven years, Like it's his lowest mark ever, but he's just scoring more touchdowns. Yeah, Like it's kind of like one trade off or the other. It's kind of similar to like Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald normally the guy who

scores a ton of receptions and PPR points. Now all he's doing is catching touchdowns. I just I found it weird. I mean, obviously, you look, you don't have to spend a lot of time talking about Antonio Brown. It's still a thirteen targets yesterday, but kind of like not your

typical Antonio Brown year. I can't really been through that interception with the goal, and that was like the worst throw of all time, Like how do you not see a guy that big and even if even if that ball, even if that ball goes through the defender was like the receiver anyway. So I'm saying, I don't know. Maybe I don't know, and Big Ben, maybe he just plays bad on the road because he's just like all I just want to get out of here and get back home,

Like that's what it seemed like. I don't want to go I don't want to go to overtime. Let me just all right, whatever, flick it. It was bad defensive lineman, like whatever, you can have listen, it was bad for Denver. On the other side, Courtland Sutton man disaster, a disaster,

not not been great. I think that's understanding. And one catch yesterday no no, but I mean overall since the since the Damarius Thomas trade, and I tweeted this out yesterday, drink uh, he's averaging five targets per games, two point three receptions, and just forty nine points seven yards per games. Has zero touchdown since the Damarius Thomas It's actually been better than Damarius Thomas in Houston, but still has not

been what we were expecting. I think, honestly, the looking at it, you could have expected to let the corners on the outside for the tals. I've played well. Yes, Emmanuel Sanders in the slot, had a big game. Philip Lindsay, Man, you know we spoke about like, where's he gonna go next year? It continues to get it done, dude. We'll

continue to talk about this game and so much more. Actually, the BFFs Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players, We don't just give you premier advice. We play every day, all major sports, all year round. We never stopped industry leading DFS tools and custom projections, and now the Daily rodo dot com optimized in minutes, building optimized line up for cash games and turnings learned from the game's best DFS players joined Daily roado dot com.

I'm actually excited to talk about the Ammie Dolphins thing. Yeah, I'm excited too. I got the season under let's keep losing, baby, I'm hoping that, uh he's Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen get the job done, and it's Miami's the other thing. Keep them under that six and a half. Actual want to with the Broncos. Are gonna move on because like anything else about the Broncos now, but you're on Sanders Like so anyway, um I had a few stay he said, all right, So do your think Greg, you want me

to leave? You think the Greg Greg Monologue show. If you want you talking about Pat Sherman, how much you love him? Your Sherman? Baby, I love you, Yeah, the same, Pat Sherman. I didn't you seak one Barkley in the second half yesterday let's with the Gies and Eagles. Fine, So Pat Sherman didn't get take what we're talking about the Dolphins. We're going to very a track now. So Pat Shermer. I like Pat Shermer. I think he knows what he's doing. I think that he doesn't necessary the

quarterback to make it happen. Um yesterday, there is he explained about the Barkley thing. He explained it in that Yes, he has to do a better job, obviously, but the team did not put themselves into situation to get skew market the ball. There are several first down penalties that made it first to fifteen quickly. There are a couple of thirty eight teens. They only ran twenty plays the entire second half. Everyone's gonna kill Sherman for the drive that they gave se Kwan off. But you want to

keep him fresh for for the game. I get man keeping fresh for the playoffs. You can't playing two percent of the snaps. I mean, I'm not killing him. There is man. Christian McCaffrey plays a hundred percent of the snaps. Greig, He's gonna he plays every snap. Christ McAffrey plays every single snap for the Carolina Panthers and just had a

hundred yards rushing in a hundred yards receiving. Barkley is a rookie running back rush for a hundred yards on thirteen carries this today, there's no excuse for him not to get the ball in the second half. And also, this is the same New York Giants team that you were killing crushing earlier on in the season that was throw owing, you know, eight yard passes behind the line of scrimmage to uh to say kwon Barkley and trying to let him figure out what to do on offense.

So I don't know, I don't know. You're doing a complete one eighty here because because the Giants have string together a few wins against the Tampa Box in the San Francisco forty niners, and you like what Pat Chremmer's doing. Come on, Greg, let's look at the big picture here. What has he done all season long? Not just what have you done for me lately? Early on in the season was an absolute disaster. I know the offensive line was terrible, but yeah it's still terrible. But they've they've

done better. So what was the excuse earlier on? Why couldn't they be doing what they're doing now earlier on in the season. I mean, get the ball in Odell Beckham's hands more, and you know something that they should actually be doing more than what they're doing right now. I know we had nine targets, but Odell Beckham should be like one of these like twelve fourteen target per game kind of guys like monsters. Of course, of course,

I don't know. It seems like you're prematurely kind of flipping the script here for for Pat Schirmer, I think you're being a little bit too optimistic. I like the Greg who was like very critical and like mad at the Giants. That's a great susman. I like, because I want you to. I want you to be miserable like I am as a football fan. I mean, I didn't even watch the Jet game yesterday. I'm done. I'm done with that team for this year. See what they do

in the off seats. Let's sign liv On Bella. I mean, let's already get to that point. I can't watch the Jets anymore. Disaster Sam Donald gazzy foot injury. The guy isn't playing two games in Arown now, probably not gonna play next week either. Why isn't he playing, Greg, I don't know. I don't know. So you mentioned the Buffalo Bills a moment ago, who defeated Jacksonville. Uh, maybe the

Bills have a better record than Jacksonville. Also amazing, by the way, these two teams playing in the playoffs last year, which is crazy. Um. So you talk about like declarations and proclamations that I'm making. I think that I think joe Yellen is good. I said this to you guys yesterday in our chat. I don't think he's bad. I like him like he's got a little moxie, which I think he's got a monster along as we know about. Yeah, the accuracy is very often, that's been and that's been

something that we've looking at eight for nineteen in this game. Greg. Yeah, I mean he actually maybe more than a little bit off, But I think he's got something. I think he's talented. I think he goes you give a full year. Like,

I don't think he's bad. I really don't. I mean he's not bad for fantasy purposes either, because he's been a top five quarterback not twice this year, and in both of those games they were when he had monster rushing performanceins He rus thirteen times yesterday fore yards and a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'll go as far as to say, if you know, if you play in a super flex league or two quarterback league, if he's not owned, like you should be aggressive and get Josh Allen.

I play in the super Flex League, my home league. He's not owned, so I'm gonna try. And you know, I think I have a couple of bucks left. I'm not gonna put it on Josh Allen just because what he could do on the ground, rushing, rushing the football.

I think what we've seen that of him right now is a very small sample size, but it's kind of like a micro cosm of like the bigger picture for Josh Allen, which I think we're gonna see moving forward for him, is that he's going to be consistently inconsistent, Which what does that mean? You know, it sounds weird,

but eight for nineteen. He didn't play a great game by any means, but he made big plays when he needs right that touchdown down the field, I mean he was getting swallowed alive in the pocket on that play and just launched it down the field, and you know, a huge touchdown there against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Also had a rushing touchdown again, So I think he's gonna be

consistently inconsistent, Like he's gonna make some big plays. He's gonna, you know, he's gonna have these big throws down the field. He's gonna wow you every now and then with these laser touchdowns that he fits into into you know, tight spaces. But he's also going to he's gonna show you the bad side to where like a guy is you know, five ten yards away and he misses him or he like tries to throw it too hard and the guy

doesn't catch it because it's a laser beam. Like, I think that's the kind of quarterback that you're gonna see at a Josh Allen. He's gonna make big plays, he's also gonna frustrate you. Um, So it's gonna be interesting for for Buffalo bill fans moving forward overall. I mean

there's a pretty good day yesterday for rookie quarterbacks. And that's that's why it's especially frustrating as like a Jets fan Sam Donald not playing because you know, you go around you see Josh Allen making plays Lamar Jackson has the big game against against the Oakland Raiders and then Aker Mayfield too obviously monster game too, So we'll just say to put a bow on like the Buffalo Bills, yesterday saw McCoy seventeen carries forty six yards. Was very

not good. His next two matchups the Miami Dolphins, who have given up a ton of fantasy production to running backs, didn't happen yesterday from Marlin Mac, I'm sorry, Judy, but they also faced the Jets in two weeks from now and that was the shaw McCoy's best game of the season two weeks ago for the Bills. So you know, don't don't drop Lasha mcoy yet. I think he's gonna be in the flex discussion for these next two games. Jackson Bill has been a disaster um all year long.

Leonard Fournett, I would be surprised if he doesn't get suspended. I mean, did you watch it? He was squared up. I thought I was watching. You know, they have these viral videos on the internet. Greg, It's like bum fights. That's what I felt like. I was watching Leonard Fournette against the against Shack Lawson for the Buffalo Bills and then they took it all the way into the tunnel. I mean it was a crazy scene yesterday. Still got it done, though for fantasy purposes, the Buffalo Bills. I mean,

I've been a tough defense all year long. And I know, uh, I know, Gabe was O Leonard Fournett earlier with in terms of yards per carrying yards carry pretty good. Yesterday eighteen carries ninety five yards, five point three yards per carry, two touchdowns. Leonard Fournett is their only offense outside of him. Like, I don't know what you're doing with this team, Like you're not starting any of their any of their receiving options. And O. D. Westbrook had a touchdown. But Blake Portos

is just an utter disaster. It'll be interesting to see what the Jaguars do in the off season. In terms of quarterback. They just fired their O C. Nathaniel Hackett. I don't know that it's all his fault. Like Blake Bortles is not great. We know that now. I mean it's been a huge sample size. Uh he's you know,

similar to what we said about Josh Allen. I mean, Blake Bortos one of these guys that can have a big game and then the next game, I mean twelve or twenty three uh five point five yards per attempt. Be interesting to see, you know, if the Jaguars are in on like Derek Carr or whoever it might be in the off season, who who teams keep referencing as the quarterback to trade four, It'll be interesting to see

what the Jaguars do. But if Leonard Fournett is out, I guess we're looking at Carlos Hide uh t j Yelden time share for next week. But I think the Jaguars are kind of mailing it in at this point. Yeah, I agree. It's been a it's a dumbster fire with Jackson Mill and the defense has not been as healthy

or as good as it was last year. Listen, if Leonard Fournet does get suspended and maybe looking at Carlos Hide season for this protective this potential week, he's probably dropped everywhere with with four net returning in the amount of carries that Fournet guest. I assume Doug Maron's gonna take over the offensive play calling, which I don't really know what that means, to be honest with you, Um dougarin is an offensive minded coach, yes, sir, for offensive

line coach with the Jaguars. Always find it interesting when an offensive minded coach doesn't call their own plays. Well, so, I know that there's a lot of responsibility that goes into being a head coach. Obviously needs to pay attention to what time management and things that are going on within the game. Like I understand, it's a lot of responsibility. But if you're an offensive background minded head coach, why wouldn't you just call your own place? Asked that a second.

Do you think that the old defensive minded head coaches should call defensive place? So that should be the logic, though like Todd Bowles doesn't. So, as you had said, there's a lot that goes into it. And because of that, like I'll use Andy Reid is a good example. Right, So Andy Reid calls his own place, or it does for years and then well we obviously know that he gets lost in time management issues or time out issues,

and there's a lot going on there. So we handed it off to Matt Neeggie and and that worked out. Sean McVeigh is is the poster child of doing this, and other people have said, um that they're not like that Macundo, for his his wasn't taking a job if he couldn't call his own place. And there's a lot of coaches that have said I'm not taking a job unless I install my offense and not just install your offense, but be in charge me because ultimately it's your head, right.

So that's one side of it. There's another side of it where you want to be the CEO. Pete Carroll is the CEO. Tom Coughlin was the CEO, and they believe when each guy kind of does their own lane, you have one guy presiding over everything you have like branches. It's kind of like government, right, Like precise guy runs the offense, this runs you just and you kind of just let people be in their own stand, their own lane, and he preside over everything, so you could watch over everything.

I don't think that one way is right or one way is wrong. I think we've seen with Mike McCarthy who is in multiple occasions give it away play calling and take it back the way play calling and taking it back. So there isn't a right answer that question. But I understand what you're sentiment, Like, hey, if you're hired to be an offensive genius, will be your offensive genius, right, like the Hugh Jackson right, Hugh Jackson called plays the

first couple of years in Cleveland disaster equal disaster. So it's just like there isn't necessarily a right way about it, and I understand that I see both sides of the coin here. I'll just I look at it as if you're the head coach and you're an offensive minded head coach, like, why don't you take on the burden of running this team's offense, and you know, if your team sucks, like you don't have a scapegoat like the offensive coordinator be like,

all right, let me just fire this guy. Like no, you should be the guy fired because this is your team, this is your offense, and you're you know, like you mentioned, you're you're installing your ideas, your your your offensive mind onto this team. So I just kind of look at it from that way, like you should be responsible for what's going on. If if you're an offensive minor head coach and you're some kind of you're supposed to be some kind of guru, prove it. See what happens, no

doubt about it, no doubt about it. Um I mentioned the Dolphins, So that's another offensive Google right, Adam Gaze who is calling the plays for his Dolphins team, and it was what a day for our guy Kenyan Drake. Yeah, for our guy Kenyan Drake, who was who was starting about thirty percent of CBS sports leagues. Greg, I started yesterday, you start room. Would you like to know who? I'll give you three guests as to who I started over Kenyan Drake. Begin now, Greg, I mean you're not gonna

get it all the players in the world. That all the players I'll give you. What do you want to like a division or give a division that's fair? The NFC West, the NFC West, Who did you start over Kenyan Drake? Have PPR in the flex? Okay, it's a flex so it couldn't be a running back or wide receiver or a tight end. Yeah, do you want to give you the position wide receiver? You start a wide receiver? In the FC West? You said yes? Did you start down?

Let's see here, NFC West didn't play the Rams are out, so either the Niners. Did you start Christian Kirk over Kenyan Drake? No? Okay, Uh? Did you start Marky's good Win over Kenyan Drake? Mark He's good Win didn't play yesterday, so I didn't start him. No, right, let's see here now, I looked at well, I looked to the Seahawks. Where you started Tyler Lockett. You're happy if you started David Moore, you're happy. Yeah, you started Doug Baldin, but like you

would start Doug balling over Kenny Drake. So I can't get mad at yourself for that. But you aren't ad at yourself for that. I didn't start Doug Baldin, Greg, you start started Kendrick Born. I started Kendrick Born. And you know what, Greg, The logic wasn't off because Dan Pettis had a great game yesterday. Pettis had a great game. And I was staring at Bolt wide receivers before the game and I'm looking, I'm like, I pick up Kendrick Borne, or do I pick up Dante Pettis? And you know

who I dropped to. Originally I had in the flex Curtis Samuel, who scored a touchdown. He scored a touchdown two weeks in a row. Two weeks in a row where I had a flex in that's great touchdown that week dropped them in like the final thirty minutes before game time because I had Curtis Samuel in this week, dropped him for Kendrick Borne, started that guy over Kenyan Drake.

And last week I dropped Adam Humphreys for t J. Jones give me one reception for two yards, and Adam Humphrey scored a Touchdow last week scored a touchdown this week too. But yeah, I started Kendrick Born over Kendy Drake. That was very hopefully that's crazy. But look, you can knock people for benching Kenyan Drake Greg, maybe not for Kendrick Born. I mean, I can knock you Bendi great game, So I'm gonna stick by not wrong. Sweet name. Kendrick

Born is an awesome name. It's an awesome name. Yeah, Like they should make a movie name like that should be a you should be an antagonist in a movie somewhere. Kendrick Board. We need to find Kendrick. They're really not gonna mention like the Boarding series. Yeah, I guess that's why it makes sense. I've never watched any of those

movies that you're not like Matt Damon. Matt Damon not really alright, not the biggest Matt Damon guy, but Dante Pettis look four for seventy seven in the touchdown that could have been Kendrick Born, but it wasn't. Kenyan Drake, Man, Adam Gaze, Kenny, you idiot. Kennyan Drake led this team in targets and receptions yesterday. Guess how many rushing touchdowns

that Dolphins have this year? Four? And Drake has all four of them, right, he has all four of them, and he's being doubled in touches every single week by Frank Gore. It carries nearly doubled fourteen for Frank Gore, eight for Kenyan Drake. You were an idiot, Adam Gates, you are an idiot. You have a young running back and Kenyan Drake always say this, use him. I know he never been a workhorse in his career. Whatever the final five games of the season last year, whatever it was,

he proved that he could be a workhorse. He helped the Miami Dolphins. They played well during that time period last year when Kenyan Drake, I mean, they beat the they beat the Patriots on Monday Night football. Last time was there, Kenyan Drake was crushing it. Why don't you give this guy twenty five touches a game to see what he can do. I think he can handle it. Kenyan Drake team interceptions and targets yesterday, just saying it's

sixty four yards receiving. That's second on the team compared to Leonti Carus, who had one cash or seventy four yards for three touchdowns. Two of them were by Kenyan Drake. I'm thirteen touches and I thought Kenyan Drake also was done for the season at one point in this game. That was very scary. See he's not injury prone. He can handle it, handle anything. He was came down, he was writhing in pain, and then all of a sudden up from the ashes. Ken I don't regret drafting Kenyan Drake.

One reason where I drafted him like he deserved to be drafted there. He's he's super talented. Adam Gaze is an idiot. He's an idiot. Craig. On the season, Kenyan Drake has seven hundred sixteen total yards and seven touchdowns. Not terrible on an offensively challenged team like the Dolphins are not a good offensive team. I know some of that has to do with brock Oswaller starting, but in

the games where brock Oswaller starting. Why don't you just hand the ball off to Frank Gore fifteen times and hand the ball off to Kenyan Drake fifteen times and also give Kenyan Drake fifteen targets target Franco has also been effective yesterday. Yeah, but who's who's to say that Kenyan Drake can do that? If you were getting the same workloom like, he's not, I understand. Over on the

other side, Indianapolis, Marlon Mack was concussed yesterday. He always doing a good day at fifteen for eighty five take that duty five point seven yards for carry. He was great as he always is. But he was concussed, which we're letting that he hides the step up. He had nine carriages twenty yards. He's also invol in the passing game two twenty two, but hinds on the field. He's someone you're gonna want to start next week. Marlon Mack is an out there. I trust my ham Hines. Yeah.

And the Indianapolis Colts are going up against the Jacksonville jack Wars. And you know one place where the Jaguars have actually consistently been tough has been against the run. They've been pretty good against the run all season long. They were good against U Saw McCoy yesterday as well. But the Bill's offensive line is not great. Uh, the Colt offensive line a little bit better. We finally got the streak snapped where Andrew Luck was not sacked in a game for what was it, six games in a row?

Greg He was sacked yesterday once for which was actually ended up being a strip sack fumble. A crazy series of events study where it was like the let back to back interceptions from Andrew Luck and then between that was a fumble. Yeah, what is it that? I think it's eight straight games for Andrew Luck with three touchdowns or more three touchbow So I want to I want

to talking about this game when we come back. We called Adam Gage an idiot, Frank Reigs doing some very very dangerous I'll tell you what it is when we come back. Fantasy Sports Radio Network.

We need to be more, just like one of years earlier. Yeah, I really need that's it,

just one of years earlier. Like I wish I was Will's Ferrell, Will Ferrell's age broad Night at the Roxbury. Just be there and like hang out with ye that's where I should have been there. Yeah that's true. Sorry, damn true. Anyway, gonna have the cold scam for a moment here, so as you're luck. Once you get us three touchdowns, he's thirty thirty seven three forty three yards. Who those incompletions were interceptions and a crazy back and

forth um in the end of the first half. Where is and you looked through interception, next play was foambed by Miami. Next play and you looked through interception back to back to back, three consecutive turnovers. Very very exciting stuff. And I think Leonte CRUs touched on with someone in there was right right before lux interception. So that's whatever. Like it looks been amazing. You have and Andrew looked like I did, like you're feeling awesome and you started

every week and he's not. I thought, right, and we kill we kill our guy Michael Flurio. But he he led the charge. He did. He had Andrew Luk as like a top five quarterback. I kind of I backed off. It was heaven had we haven't had that for sure, um, and you have to Andrew luck and he's been great. Toe Hi was great yesterday. Tant target seven five was awesome, especially at home. You love him. Eric Ebron caught two more Touchdowns' touchdown whisperer. This is what he does, all right.

He had eleven touchdowns in his career Detroit Lions career, he has eleven touchdowns. To see, he's been amazing. He's been amazing. Unfortunately, you got to throw him out there and just hope the scores. That's what you're gonna have to do. The type of position. My problem with Frank Reich is he's play with fire a little bit. So

last week they had. I believe it was Ebron attempted to throw a touchdown to Andrew Luck who dove in the right side of the end zone, and Iron joked about it, and we all laughed about it this week, and Ebron said, listen, he lost some speed since he was at standard. That's his fault. Fine, it's funny, we all laugh. So this week on fourth and two or fourth and one, they Jacoby Brissette coming to quarterback, so

read option, read pass option with Luck out wide. So they had it as a quarterback and the safety, and they basically had the safety on the defense coming because they're not throwing a Luck I don't need to fade to Luck size. They basically had it of the manat to his safety blitz on Brissett. So one on one coverage with Andrew Luck on the left side versus the quarterback, and the quarterback is playing off of Luck. Of course, Brissett through it to Luck, who caught it for four

yards and got the first down. But he got lit up, lit up right on the shoulder. It was a completely illegal hit. Andrew Luck was a wide receiver and the dude lit him out. He bounced back up, but he did a massive, massive, massive hit. It's fourth and one, fourth and two. Why are we doing this in the middle of the game with nothing really on the line.

I get the playoff playoffs occations of both these teams at five and five, but there has to be better play called putting your franchise quarterback who just came off major shoulders. It's missing that's missed the last two years. Why are we doing that? It's not worth it today, It's not. It was like you're playing with fire of your results over process for this one. Greg, the results in the first down. I understand it was an awesome play call. I mean, I understand what you're saying, Frank Reig.

I mean give it to He came from the Eagles last year, where you know they'd run the Philly Special in the Super Bowl, and he's brought some of that creativity to the Colts. I get what you're saying. Absolutely, he's probably a thing. And look, Andrew looks not taking many hits because their offensive line is played so well. I mean, he just got sacked for the first time in this game. And however many games, six, seven games, whatever it was, he was like a he could take it.

He doesn't getting hit Greg. He's good, he's fine. Come on, let's have fun. No fun for Greg. Not with are luck he's two values. Probably not, He's proven that he's two really big hit and felt right on that shoulder an unnecessary monster hit. I just really didn't like that by Frank Ranck. And he's done wonderful job this year. So I'll be you know what, I'll be interested to look into and see if people ask him questions about

that after the game. I'm sure they did. I bet you he's sow the source shoulder on Wednesday limited practice shoulder. What's going on? We imaged Christopercaffrey before, who was out of this world bankers yesterday and a hundred twenty five yards in the ground to touchdown, another hundred and twelve in the air to touchdown. He was ridiculous. Eleven receptions. Carolina lost again and this one was that home. They lost thirty twenty seven as Russell Wilson passes for almost

three hundred forty yards. Those are two touchdowns. He gotta got it done through the air yesterday. What do you think of this game? Frank? Yeah, I think the Panthers defenses is certainly letting them down right now. They lost at the Lions the week before. UM, in that game, it was their offense against the lines because they couldn't put up points against Detroit, and that's just, uh, that's not acceptable. But the week before they also gave up

fifty points to the Pittsburgh Steelers. So they give up thirty here to Seattle, a good team. Russell Wilson obviously great quarterback, but Graham Gono misses the field goal. And you know it's not a gimme, it's not all his fault, like there are other players within the game, but that certainly did not help. So Graham Gono Mrs One. The defense kind of lets them down. Um, I think that's that's how we get to the Carolina Panthers losing three games in a row. They were six and two there

now six and five, fighting for their playoff lives. But Christian McCaffrey, I mean, from a fancy perspective, I mean, he's everything right now. He's the snaps seventeen carries yesterday, eleven targets. It's not just eleven targets, call all eleven. So that type of efficiency is just ridiculous. And what I'm hoping Greg I know Devin Fonses did not play in this game, and I said it, I said, you know, Funches, I felt like it's starting to get phased out of

the offense, getting pushed out of the offense. I wouldn't be surprised if maybe we get a you more surprise and actives moving forward with with Devin Funches. But d J. Moore was phenomenal in this game. Nine targets called eight of them for ninety one yards. You know, he's he's starting to learn how to expand his route tree. We know that he's a he's a great YAK receiver. You know, they give him short passes. He can he can make plays, but he's also made some plays down the field as well.

I'm very excited about d J Moore if I added him. I think he's right there in the wide Receiver three high end Wide Receiver three discussion. Um the offense is starting to get funneled through mainly Christian McCaffrey and d J. Moore, And I think that's exactly what they foresaw. Maybe not this quickly, but in year one with d J Moore being a rookie, he's he's played very well and and kind of because of that, greg Olsen, I don't know if he's like still not on or age is catching

up to him, whatever it might be. But he's, uh, he's basically one of these low end tight end ones now who who is touchdown dependent because in the past two past few games, if he if he does score a touchdown, he's basically basically giving you a touchdown and nothing else. And then yesterday he gave you eleven yards and didn't score a touchdown. So we're getting to that point where Greg Olsen is is one of those touchdown

dependent tight ends. Yeah. Absolutely. Now DJ Moore, as you've said multiple occasions, different functions, I believe a free agent after this year, and d J Moore is going to be one of these many toys that Christian McCaffrey and and Cam Newton have to work with in the future. And I think d J Moore to be a popular draft target next year. Baby, And he's a term he had terp indeed um. On the other side for Seattle, Tyler Lockett once again gets it done. I was respect Greggy.

I always say this about Tyler Lockett, no respect. I don't think there's a players more wrong about this year than Tyler Lockett, who people talked people did talk hibout in the preseason this year, and I wanted nothing to do with this guy. I was not going to be fooled again for like the third or fourth second year. And I was wrong with Tyler. Locke said a really good year other five for one or seven a touchdown yesterday, forty three receptions sixty one. Here's the big number. Eight

touchdowns on the season for Tyler Lockett. And to be totally reasonable to him, Doug Walton has been healthy most of the season and healthy ish enough to play. And hey, he's been healthy enough to play. Uh Doug baldin five or thirty nine yesterday he was talking to the team high seven times, so he was involved yesterday after being questionable all week long, right up until game time. And David Moore a really nice touchdown catch on the left side of the end zone. He had four for one

oh three. He's come on as well. So the three wide receivers for Seattle get it done. Chris Carson in the backfield six boy Chard Penny had four for four. Here's the thing with Tyler Lockett, He's staying healthy. That's obviously a huge part of his game because the past couple of years he's been banged up in and out of the lineup. And you know what, I like Tyler Lockett. Remember throughout the preseason I didn't get my hands on

him in a lot of leagues. But what are he's doing right now in terms of the rate that he's scoring touchdowns, in terms of his like like touchdown two reception ratio, Like he only has forty three receptions, but eight of those are touchdowns. And he's not being targeted heavily either. He's not a target monster because the Seahawks don't throw the ball that much. Their offense has just been incredibly efficient, and I think that's a good job

by Brian Schottenheimer. Like, we didn't know what to expect by Schottenheimer coming into the year, and you know, we we gave Russell Wilson a lot of flak early on for al Right, well, you know he's not rushing the football. Their their offense is being kind of conservative. They're running the football a lot, but they're picking and choosing their spots and they've been incredibly efficient when they need to

throw the ball. We saw that yesterday with Tyler Lockett. Obviously, the clutch touchdown from David Moore as well, and we're already starting to talk about, like, all right, well, where is this guy gonna go next year? Tyler Lockett is probably gonna a guy who's gonna go too high for me because just looking at you know, that rate that he's scoring touchdowns app but he's not a target monster

and he doesn't get a ton of receptions. It just seems like he's scoring more touchdowns than he should be. So I think regression will be in store for him next year. I don't know if this offense could be as efficient, but for this year, while we're talking about this year, Tyler Lockett is absolutely a you know, top twenty five wide receiver. I mean, that's exactly what he's been all year. Uh, you know, I joke about it.

I say he gets no respect, but it's true. Every single week, you know, he's ranking like a wide receiver three, but he performs better than that. So as long as this offense is clicking the way it is, Tyler Lockett is the number one wide receiver that you want to trust for fantasy purposes. In this offense, Tyler Lockett the number one wide receiver at the moment for the Seattle Sea Locks. I want to get into Sunday at football as well. Frank as a green Man package once again

fall to the Viking seventeen. Michael McCarthy he go, yeah, this is the end of the road from Mike McCarthy, very very um valuable head coaching spot in Green Bay and we interesting to see who they bring in. Did you watch the game? Uh? Yeah? How many times on the broadcast did they say blessing and a curse? Because it's it felt like every time I like down, I looked back up and I was listening, I was like,

blessing and a curse. Well, this is the blessing and a curse when you know, when you're Mike McCarthy and you have Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, you're expected to win. But you know if you don't win, then it's blessing and a curse and you're gonna get fired because you're not performing up to expectations. Blah blah blah blah blah.

It seems like that's all they were talking about Aaron Rodgers is that he's not been himself this year either, Like, yeah, he's not throwing interceptions, but a hundred and ninety eight yards. I understand that that, you know, the Vikings Viking defense is good, but you know, well where was the excuse? They just they got destroyed by the by the New Orleans Saints. Everyone's getting destroyed by the Saints. But I mean, come on, a hundred nine yards and a touchdown from

Aaron Rodgers that's just not gonna get it done. H Sorry, Judy, I mess you up with Aaron Aaron Joe, Let's call. But this is you know, he's absolutely like low end RB one status and smith point craig. Even against the Vikings over four yards per carry, he was a workhorse again, seventeen carries, five targets, twenty total touches in this game. Also added twenty one receiving yards. Adam Gaze, maybe you should take a look at what's happening over in Green

Bay right now where you know. It took forever for Mike McCarthy to figure out, oh, hey, Aaron Jones is my best you know, one of my best weapons on offense. He's the best running back on my team. It took him a little bit too long, too little, too late for Mike McCarthy to figure out that Aaron Jones and his guy. It's probably gonna cost him his job. Didn't

cost you your job too, Adam Gaze, Yeah, got it? Yeah, Um it was just like I said, it would be really interesting to see who Green Babe brings into her place. Mike McCarthy, Um, because is it is? This is Aaron Rodgers Twilight. You gotta you gotta nail this. See what they do for the package yesterday, Frank what Aaron Jones de Davante Adam scores once again in five or sixty nine a touchdown. I know it's greedy, but like I needed that second touchdown man, late in the game where

Rodgers missed him. I needed that. I play in a standard league, playing the standard league where I'm up thirty, I have Corey Davis against Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. So if I get that touchdown from from yeah, I don't feel great about it. I'll admit, you know, I think I'm gonna lose this one. But oh man, and and that's what we're talking about. Like Aaron Rodgers hasn't been himself. He's not putting up the monster touchdown numbers. I know

he only has one interception, so that's great. But like he's not taking the chances that he normally does. Like, I don't know what's going on. Like maybe Aaron Rodgers is like messed up on purpose, so Mike McCarthy gets fired. Think that that's my new conspiracy theory. I had the same Donald injury conspiracy theory. Aaron Rodgers is not playing his best football purposely so that Mike McCarthy gets fired. Great, I'm gonna lose the E Y and Flex this week.

What a disaster. He's the worst team in the league. I want to lose to him. What does it say about your team? I guess lukey, although I put up one point less than you ten. Yeah, I had a had a weird, weird week this week because they drafted I went running back heavy to start that draft. Kareem Hunt, Jordan Howard, Alex Conner, Howard sucks. Collins was a healthy scratch. That touchdown the Adams would have probably won me this league too. That sucks. Come on, Aaron Rodgers, what are

you doing? Davante Adams has been one of those picks that have just been perfect. People talk about a bit of a touchdown regression. Has happened. Ten touchdowns for the third consecutive season, his first thousand yards season already in the books. Uh. He has more receptions than ever before. Jrathon was wide receiver one. You got a wide receiver one. It's been awesome to watch the transformation that Davante Adams

has gone through. I tweeted about this last week when he was putting up a monster game against the Seattle Seahawks. Remember Greg, when Jordy Nelson went down, everybody was third fourth round pick. They were pulling him all the way up the draft, and he let everybody down. He looked like, you look like me, like, doesn't even have a spot in the NFL. Yeah, we were like, is sky like

they used the second round pick on him. Um like we were expecting him take off the year and he like we thought there was no struggling against top cornerbacks. The transformation that Davante Adams has gone through to this point where he is just completely matchup proof. It doesn't matter who he's facing, Xavier Roads opposite of him, his route, running his hands, what he can do in the red zone after the catch, when he does off the line of scrimmage. Davante Adams is every bit the part of

a wide receiver one at the NFL level. And also the most important thing is he stayed healthy this year. So good on Devontae Adams, but that was shut off. A YouTube for today to next Fantasy People Frenzy with Corey Parson, Jim Day, The Closer Chris Vner. If you're watching on the podcast or you're listening to the podcast, rather make sure you subscribe like RTUs five stars and please leave a comment. Listening on the radio, we will

continue on for another three and a half minutes. On the Minnesota side of last night's game, Frank kirk Cousins showed up seemingly the first time this year. He was three forty two and three in the victory four minutes so that he was amazing. Adam Feeling and Stefon Diggs both get in the end zone, both of eight recessions. Diggs actually led this team in targets but had less yards and Feeling even Kyl Rudolph got the job they

done last night seven or sixty three. With the concerning thing what I wanted to ask you about before we wrap this one up. Let Tavias Murray had one more carry on the night than Dalvin Cook. How concerns should we be. I think you you have to be somewhat concerned, definitely with Dalvin Cook because this was the game. I

know he scored the touchdown. He was used in the past game only ten carries for twenty nine yards in a good game flow matchup where you know it was a competitive game, but they were playing with the lead at point throughout this game as well, so it seemed like a good game flow. It's set up well for Dalvin Cook, but Otavius Murray saw more carries. The offensive line, as you mentioned, still not great for the Vikings, and we've seen it here again. Um, he has not run

efficiently this year. I know he had that long seventy five yard or on a couple of weeks ago against the Destroit Lions, but overall their offensive line has been brutal. It's in terms of run blocking. Um, he's not. He's not the top twelve running backs certainly that we thought even when he's healthy here because le Savious Murray's getting getting getting carries. I think he's more of mid range

RB two. I think that's kind of where Dalvin Cookies maybe like just barely inside the top twenty running back. I think that's where we're at with Dalvin Cook for this year. Be interesting to see what they could do in the off off season, whether they can improve that offensive line, because if they do, I think we could create that that would create a buying opportunity for Dalvin

Cook next year. Greg Or maybe he slips a little bit, Maybe he's more of a you know, late second, early third round pick next year for fantasy purposes, and if they improve the offensive line, that will create a buying opportunity for Dalvin Cook. But for this year, I would say he's more of a mid range r B two. All right, So I agree with the Devin Cook right now, a mid range RB two for the Minnesota Vikings. Um, we do have time for other game, Frank, and to

be the last game we talk about today. That's Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns where Hugh Jackson's like Baker Baker Yo Hu Bowl, h boll Hugh Jackson Bowl and huge Jackson's team once again didn't just go down. They wouldn't. They got stomped out in this game. Baker throws for four touchdowns. You know how badly you wanted to destroy Hugh Jackson's team um, David David Joki, that was an awesome touch. That was awesome. Yeah, I still don't know

how he got it. That was awesome. My brother who doesn't even watch football, saw that place somehow yesterday on like social Media's like, do you see the guy who like almost got body slam but then they like they pushed him into the end zone. That was awesome. So yeah, David and Joku shows up. You know we didn't show up. Greg Darts Landry Darvis Landry is out in this offense three since since Freddy Kitchens has taken over. This team is ground ground great Chub Nick Chubb, Nick Chubb Chub.

I've told you last week. I'll say it again. It Shub's that guy. It's gonna go I said a two three turn. It might go higher this year. People were going to think. People are going to believe that he has the ability to be that top five running back two years from one touches. He hasn't had less than nineteen touches in any game since Carlos Hyde has been traded. Touches looks phenomenal. Phenomenal here using him in the past game as well. It's coming at the expense of jervis

Land Hyler Boyd owners, be a little bit nervous. Andy Dalton has that thumb injury. Now, I always screw a touchdown yesterday with Jeff Jeff just gold be a little bit nervous. Fantasy friends. He's up next for Franks Stample. My name is Greg Sells. Thank you so much for watching the BFFs. And you're all gonnamorrow. We a
