How about you flash that little finger over there, give everyone a little piece of the you can't see me The married man that is Greg Sousman spent the past couple of days in Nashville. You got to hang out with our buddy. E y, how are you doing sir. I'm doing well, man, I'm doing really well. I am happy to be back. You know, it's always nice to come home. But it was a lovely, lovely night at my wedding. Um, how would you describe it?

You were a guest, Well, how would I? Well, why don't we Why don't we describe it together, because we actually have footage downstairs of the wedding. Alex Fasano cue that up. We're gonna do a little bit of a play by play here, Greg of what was happening at your wedding. This guy he's getting thrown up in a chair, thrown all around. Yeah. I did not import any audio because I'm sure at this point it was just a bunch of yelling and screaming and cursings going on. But

police pay play by playground. Yeah, so that was the horror. There's duty, right, So that's the horror. You let everybody on chairs and you, sorry from my spreading, zooming in and out, I was, you're excited about this moment, You're waiting for it. So we guess we got up. She falls off, it's coming right, she falls I think she already had falling off at this point. And then excited. I'm excited, I'm waving the braking around. She was petrified. It was great. It was a great time. I enjoyed

it a ton. The live band was great. I thought they did a great job as he even played some Dave Matthews for you as well. Charl got up for that. I told Sandro that they played Higher Love and you came running to find me. That was a great time as well. Nando was there, so of course we got very belligerent and wasted. Uh And of course by the end of the night, I was looking for an after party, one of which I clearly did not need. We felt that's the story of Frank Stafford. We never knows when

to stop. We had a bit of brunch the next morning. It started at nine am. Frank stroldin around eleven. It was great. That's fair, absolutely well, up to a miscall at seven fifty. Didn't know what was going on, still knowsn't just the usual man. Yeah, I'd be Thursday to you. It was a really fun night. Man, is everything I hope for there. You know, there's always minor issues along the way, none that anybody there would never realize, of course. Um,

but it was great. I had an awesome, awesome time, had a bright smile the entire night and it was awesome. And of course I did jake your first Jewish way. It was great again. I had to record the filming, record the chairs. I've never seen that before. Of course I wasn't close enough to witness you stepping on the glass, but I heard it, of course, in the back of the room. I wish you had a video of that, because that's basically I told you the Jeff van Jeff story. Right,

what was this Van Jeff story? You might have? So Jewish tradition you stop on a glass, your husband and wife boom, glass kiss go right? Makes sense? Sure? So Jet van Jeff ubercocky, confident Jeff, I didn't bring the glass? Were he supposed to step on one as well? He's half Jewish? No, then I know his wedding, Oh on his wading Okay, yeah, so he stomps on the glass.

He didn't break it. That's a bad look. So all of us know, and you're like, we are loving life, like I couldn't ask for anything better, right, literally, anything better than that to happen. So of course he's like, listen, you're all next month man, and it's all you have all the pressure on you. I have no pressure. You missed it. I can't be that bad I did. I won't miss it. I'm gonna hit it. So the the Rabbi are afficiant. Has my dad set up the glass, and he sets it up wrong. He says straight up

like this. This isn't good. I don't want that. No, he's gonna turn this thing over on its side. Who's breaking a glass from the top, like perfectly, that's not happening. So he sets it off on the side, and as the rabbit, I was like, are you ready? I smashed this thing right, I smashed the glass before I kiss my now wife. I turned to jet Fan Jeff like this and then yes, sir, and he's like, I want you to know the rest of your life before you stopped,

before you kissed your wife on your wedding day. You stared at me and it was true. It's true, Greggy, It's damn true. So Greggy out here jumping around in chairs, breaking glasses, of course, getting it all done. I did want to. I didn't find you for holler love, though I made sure I did comment on your composure. Again. I told you the night of I was like, dude, you kept it all together. I just feel like every time I go to a wedding with Kingda my fiance,

I bring up the possibility of canceling the wedding. It's very romantic. How does that go? But I just I know that I wouldn't be able to keep my composure. Man, I'm just it's gonna be all water works. I'm gonna it's They were tearous. You were good man, you were chilling. I mean it looked like you were happy, you were composed. It was a great I just feel like I would be a big baby my wife. My wife was in tears all night, like every every hour on the hours,

you cried, Like, why are you crying? I'm just so happy. Yeah, that's awesome. It's emotional, Frank, you know, I gotta keep it together. I cried. I definitely cry. It's it's like, but yeah, I felt good. Do you have a video I will show you during the break of the glass, You'll see me turn. It's actually amazing, all right, I'm looking forward to that. On the show, we got to football tonight. Football Tonight. It was crazy. I left on a Sunday. There was football. I come back, there's like

boom more football. Great, that's the life. It's awesome. Tonight, the Steelers and the brands. We will break it down. There's no e Y today would tell you about my story. I was at eys house. He didn't have anything to say about me. Yesterday in the show, we spoke a little bit about the wedding earlier in the week. I mean, as a guest of his house. No, I brought it up to him, like I said, I said it on

the show yesterday. I was half hoping that you would just run in while we were doing the show and just scream, right, But he said, no, We're going to meet up later on tonight. Two days ago. It was two days ago. They had dinner on Tuesday night, Thursday, Tuesday night. Yeah, all right, I don't know. I'm off somewhere here, all right, So you have this conversation. So yeah, it was Tuesday then whatever it was. Yeah, we had the conversation. So I was hoping that you were just

gonna run It wasn't. I was. I was exploring Nashville, cool city, big fan, a lot of hot chicken, which is great. It was a fan of chicken. Yeah, a big fan of spice. So then because I had I had spicy hot chicken all week, all three days I was there. So then against the airport, I needed to eat dinner and there was Popeyes. I was like, oh my god. The Popeye's hot chicken was a minute. I'm a Nashville real hot chicken. I don't I don't eat

Popeyes hot chicken. So you didn't try the Popeye spicy chickens. Now because I was literally in Nashville with all the other spices, well, you know, people are dying over the sandwich now, man, all right, it's gonna break a lot of football to get to a whole lot to discuss. We're gonna do it all over the next fifty minutes here on the VFS. Are you ready for the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to

Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the meadow Lands Sports Crade, He's live eighteen hours a day here to serve you the fanatic.

This is sports grade. Get on the grid back with you here on the bff Not only does this plan at the wedding as you're walking around Nashville, just blasted it for just walking around dude's father And that was good on this song. That was good on this Yeah, they were good. They did their jobs. Mike's not on. You're a great job. I appreciate that, man, Appy Ship. Thank you, Danny, thank you. I love the song. Thanks for the song, Danny. All right, so let's get into

the waiver wire. And those players that we're left over, didn't get your fill from the waiver wire. Now I won more. The BFFs has your leftovers watch this never mind, give me a whole lot of it and then leftovers portion of the week here on the BFFs. And it's interesting the guys that were left over here on after Tuesday. And I want to start in Kansas City where Miko Hardman left on some waiver wires. Despite the awesome sixty plus your touchdown this past Sunday, he's only owned thirty

two percent oh of Yahoo leagues. Well, a couple of teams on by here this week. Once again Frankie taking a shot on Nicole Hardman. No, he is on the waiver wire and that's exactly where he should remain. He did have that long touchdown last week, blazing speed. I

like the upside of Nicole Hardman for the future. If you own this kid in dynasty leagues, I think he's gonna be a real part of this offense in years succumb But last week he scored that touchdown on only one target spect some points here between the Chiefs and the Chargers on Monday night football in Mexico City. But unfortunately, I don't know that Nicole Harden will be as involved as he should be. He's on the waiver wire, Greg, and you should leave him there. Nko Harman not going anywhere,

but staying on the waiver wire. The leftovers continues as a player that was inactive for his team, same team, same city as Kansas City, Lashaw McCoy. He's been dropped in a lot of places. Should he stay on the waiver wire, he probably should remain on the waiver wire. Right. Last week was a big game for the Kansas City Chiefs and he was inactive, right and Andy Reid brought

this guy in he's one of his guys. He's known Leshaw McCoy for a while, dating back to their days with the Philadelphia Eagles, but Andy Reid opted to have Amian Williams active to use Darryl Williams. We saw a little bit of Darwin Thompson as well. Maybe in a deeper league, you just kind of stashed Lashaw McCoy, especially if you're a Damien Williams owner, because I think if something were to happen to Damian Williams, then we're gonna

see Lashaw McCoy back in the mix. But in your shallower twelve team, five bench spot leagues, I think Lashaw McCoy is remaining on your waiver wire as well. Greg, absolutely the Shaw McCoy inactive last week. Next week they have a bye. They really want to arrest them up. Maybe arrest him for this game also and then come back out after the by. I actually dropped la Shaw McCoy in the Flex league as well, so you know,

it's hard to hold on to all these players. There's four teams on a bye this week, there's still four teams on a by next week, and he's going to be one of those teams on a by the Chiefs are on a buy next week, so again, unless in a deeper league, he's just taking up a roster spot at this point, I think, Greg, I agree. I agree, Sean McCoy is jovable and he should be left over. We continue on with the leftovers. If you dropped him

a couple of weeks back. What about Audentate? Who's out there on waiver wires available in almost all these now. Audentate is interesting because a really good matchup this week, going up against the Oakland Raiders. We know that they've struggled against wide receivers so far this season, but how much can you trust the pass catchers for the Cincinnati Bengals With Ryan Finley as the quarterback there just looked absolutely Burtle through a pick six last week, had a

fumble recover return for a touchdown as well. You know, I want to like the Bengals pass catchers, and I think we should talk about Tyler Boyd a little bit later on, Greg, some of these confusing players for Week eleven, But ultimately I don't have any confidence starting audented He had six targets last week. Good matchup, but I can't trust the quarterback player Ryan Finley right now, maybe if they go back to Andy Dalton, but I can't really

see them doing that. Yeah, I agree that they probab not gonna go through, not not gonna go back to any don't at the point of that, So I agree you just don't want options here in the offense for Cincinnatis. There's no reason to do it. There are a few other wide receivers that I do have in that range that if they're left over on your waiver wire, I do like this week time again, Chris Conley is in this range, but you know, I really want to see how the target share breaks down this week with Nick

Foles back. Obviously you're starting d J chart based on the talent alone. D D. Westbrook just sneaks inside my top thirty six wide receivers as well. But the name that I'm really looking at and interested in here greg is Randall Cobb, because the Detroit Lions have struggled against slot wide receivers all season long, back to back games of eight targets four. Randall Cobb as well scored a touchdown last week, starting to impede on the target share

in the playing time of Michael Gallup. Now Gallop is not going anywhere when they have when they run three wide receiver sets, it's Cooper, it's Gallop, it's Randall Cobb. But I do have a lot of interest in Randall Cob This week with that match, a lot of people were really you know Randall coll I know in my league, he wasn't left over anywhere. People got in on him after some cash inside the end zone. This past week, they like Randall CoV not really left over where I am.

Here's an ing that's left over there. Actually really surprised me where he moster left over this week? And I think that's one that you, as you said, should he be? It looks like it looks like Matt Brina is going to miss the next couple of weeks um and again they like to run a running back by committee. It's not just going to be Tevin Coleman. Maybe Tevin Colemans.

He's a few more touches this week, closer to that twenty touch mark, but he's really been around, you know, twelve to fifteen for the most part this season with the San Francisco forty Niners. They want to run the football again, you know, the past couple of weeks Jimmy Garoppolo has been throwing the football a little bit more. We saw him one and Night Football. The Seahawks took away the run game from the forty Niners, and they forced Garoppolo to try and beat them, and ultimately he

couldn't you know. He had some Aron throws obviously some drops by the wide receivers as well. But I think we get back to ground and pound. The Cardinals are not a great team against the run. They're not a great team against the past either, But I do think that the forty Nighters can have some success in the spot here, and with Matt Breeda likely out in this matchup, I think we get you know, tend to twelve maybe maybe even a few more touches than that for Raheem Moser, which,

in my opinion Greg makes him a flex play. I have him, you know, right around my top thirty top thirty six running backs this week, which makes him a flex option. All right, fair enough, a flex option. We said this previously with Raheem Moos, where we thought Matt Brido was gonna be out. Of course, Brida played and Jeff Wilson played, and everybody played that weekend. Now we're an opportunity against Arizona in this matchup. Hopefully no it's Coleman and hopefully no it's Matt breed up Um going

through my waiver. While here are some other names that stand out tonight Thursday Night Football and getting more into this. Deante Johnson is out there in in quite a few leads, about eighty five percent of leaves right now. Johnson is someone you consider picking up a fews left over. Not really, you know, Mason Rudolph has not been great. Let's just be honest, put it kindly. Yeah, they've They've relied heavily on their defense and their running game, and I think

James Conner has a big game returning tonight as well. Um, and they try to get Juju Smith Schuster involved. They really have four different targets now that they're throwing too, and they're not great targets because again they're coming from Mason Rudolph. But we've now seen Vance McDonald with back

to back games with seven targets. They said after last week's game that they want to get Juju Smith Schuster more involved once again, and whenever Juju has seen at least seven targets in a game, he's actually performed quite well, So I think we get back to a little bit more juju tonight. And then last week James Washington had the big game. So now we have four past catchers involved in this Dealer's offense in you know, and these targets are not really high quality targets because again they're

coming from Mason Rudolph. So I don't really want to get involved with Deonta Johnson and Cleveland. You know, to their credit, they've been really tough on wide receivers. They're allowing the twelve fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers on the outside this season, and that is predominantly where Deonta Johnson plays. So that's going to be a pass for me. Greg Right, fair enough? Could just a couple of minutes left before we move on here on

the leftover edition of the program. Um, let me see here he was some quarterbacks, ranky Philip Rivers out there on the waiver wife, he's just case see this week obviously not a good matchup last week for not a good game, I should say last week Philip was It was a terrible performance, terrible execution. What do you think? Yeah, I'm a little bit lower on Philip Rivers this week going up against the Kansas City Chiefs. Again, the Chiefs

weakness on their defense is stopping the run. Obviously, we just saw Derrick Henry have a monster game, and they've actually been really good against the past so far this season. That wasn't the case last year. I mean, their secondary was really really bad last year. So far this season, they are fifth in past defense div away and Philip Rivers only has two games of multiple touchdown passes this entire season. He only has multiple touchdown passes once in

his last seven games. So I know that we're expecting some points here. It's a higher over under, you know, um. But ultimately, Philip Rivers has had some other good matchups so far this season and he has not shown up in those match up. So now that the matchup is tougher, I'm not really getting involved here. Greg. You know, if Kyle Allen were available on your waiver wire, that's actually a direction that I would go instead of Philip Rivers.

This way, I agree, and I've actually seen people dropped Philip Rivers to go get Kyle Allen, so that one makes sense. Another quarterback, Frank we quickly want to mention Jimmy g was also the last time this team played against Arizona. He's out there on some waiver wires left over. Is it worth it? Yeah? I actually have him inside my top ten. So if you're deciding between Garoppolo, Kyle Allen and Philip Rivers, I would go with Garoppolo. He had, you know, his best game of the season a couple

of weeks ago against the same defense. Their secondary could be taken advantage of no Matt Brita as well. I think we get a good Garoppolo game. Speaking of where you have players ranked, where to give? You give away the players you have ranked higher than the consensus. We come back the BFFs.

I want to instagram a sports Grade you'd be here and use you sports grid Network. Greg. I have a question for you before you question for me. Was your wedding an all black suit event? It was a black tie event, that's what you're referring to. I

didn't wear a black tie. You know you don't have to wear a black tie. I didn't wear a black tie. Alright, I mention it was supposed to be a tuxedo. I didn't. I didn't wear a tuxedo. Was that on the website or or on the invitation? The invitation there's a little bow tie in the corner that signified black tie. I gotta pay more attention. Moving forward, Nano kept messing me. He's like, I can't believe you would wear a navy blue suit to it to a you know, to a

black suit event. This is is unacceptable. And then on top of that, he's like, well, you were supposed to wear a tuxedo too, You're supposed to wear a black tie. So I was wearing a navy blue suit and a burgundy tie. So I assumed that I, uh disobeyed all of your directions. Greg, So I felt I felt pretty bad. Did you feel bad? Actually did? But you know, outside of the suit jacket, that's the only other suit I got. So and I say suit jacket because I don't fit

into the pants, barely fit into the jacket. No, that's all right, it's a It's all right, Frank, as long as you know, no one complained about that idiot wearing the navy blue suit. No one complained to the idiot wearing the blue suits. Don't worry about it, all right? I feel better now? All right? When people are going to talk about the idiot that is in love with Jamison Crowder. This week, oh no, is that me? Crowder and the Jets face off against Washington, and I heard

you earlier saying how well everyone loves the Jets. This week they're probably gonna lose the Dwayne Haskins and Washington. We'll see. Why do you like Jamison Crowder here this week? I mean what's not to like? Right? I mean the past two games up over eighty yards. He scored a touchdown in each one of those. The only six targets last week. You would have liked to see more there, but he did have nine targets the week before. Since

Sam Donald has returned back in Week six. In that Dallas Cowboys game, Jamison Crowder leads the Jets in target share over that span. So it's a revenge game narrative here, Greg, It's a good matchup. Washington has struggled against slot receivers as well, So look, jess are gonna put up some points here in this spot. They are They're slight dogs, which I find interesting here, But ultimately they're gonna throw the ball to somebody. I think that somebody is going

to be Jamison Crowder. He's inside my top twenty four, Greg all right, Jameson Crowder inside the top twenty four. That makes him a top I started. I was just sort of wide receiver, but he's a low and wider too. This week for the New York Jets, he's been saving Donald's favorite wide receiver, the most reliable, and it is the revenge game against Washington, which means you have to love Jameson Crowder. Yes, Sam Donald has leaned more so on those short of intermediate routes, the do Marius Thomas

the tight ends as well. Yeah, let's talk about the tight end real quick too, because I think people are overlooking Ryan Griffin a little bit too because Chris Herndon. We waited all season for Chris Herndon. This was gonna be the breakout tight end this year. Plays one game, one reception, seven yards, injureds his rib. Now he's placed on I R. And we saw before Chris herndon return that Ryan Griffin actually had a few blow up spots, So I think he's back in the mix, Robbie Anderson

not being targeted down the field. Frankly, the Jets don't have enough time behind that offensive line to wait for those routes to developed down the field. So that's why we're seeing a lot of throws to the short intermediate routes. I think to Barrius Thomas, if you're really desperate for a bye week replacement, uh, is you know a wide receiver for But again, if you need somebody, the targets have been there for him. And I think Ryan Griffin is sneaky as well, So I just kind of wanted

to throw that all on the table. Um, I'm not in on Robbie Anderson. Obviously, he has not scored since like weeks ever, so it's been a while. It's been a while there. I talked on the Vanduel hurry, but she was honest earlier today and he was speaking at Mohamed sanu and he looked the target share from Mohamed sanu Um before the Patriots by and said, hey, if this guy's out there, like you need to play not

just the DFS but in season long as well. Because the new he's a major part of this Patriots offense. You like him this week against Philly. I don't really understand and what I'm missing here, Greg, and I understand that the Eagles secondary has been getting healthier and they've been playing a little bit better as of late. But on the season, they are allowing the second most fantasy points per game to outside wide receivers. We know that Julian Edelman plays in the slot. Mohammed Sanu is coming

off a game where he just had fourteen targets. I don't know that the Patriots are gonna be able to run the ball effectively against this Eagles defensive line. So I'm looking at Mohammed Sanu as you know, getting a good amount of the target share again here, Greg, probably at least seven eight targets. I think there's upside for more in this spot as well. And they give up a second round pick for this guy, they're going to use him. We just saw that the last game that

they played against the Baltimore Ravens. Greg, A lot of people have him as a wide receiver three. I have him inside my top twenty four wide receivers as well. Is that too aggressive because it seems like I am ranking him higher than everybody else in the industry, and I don't know why, Like, is there something I'm missing here? Do you think that let me ask these questions. Do you think to kill Harry if is there's a chance I've seen that he's still questionable. I don't know that

he has been practicing. I could pull that up. But either way, even if he does, I think he probably just eats into Philip door Sets playing time. I don't think my mohammeds Dodo is going anywhere. They give up a second round pick for this. My next question right was what happens to Philip doors Set? Like he's out there in a lot of waiver wires dropped during the by not really interested in that because we saw what the targets share, should look at what what the foundation

should be moving forward for this team. And it's gonna be double digit targets to Edelman. We know that's gonna be the case. James White is gonna get his you know, five to seven targets as well, and and then there's gonna be likely one other receiver that really steps up and sees you know, probably seven to eight targets, maybe even more than that. And I think that players Mohammed Sanew again I don't think that that's Doorset. I think door Set. You know, he's a high a dot player.

He'll they'll take a few deep shots per game with him, and he's very boomer bust play. We know who Philip door said it. But Mohammed Sanknew is another one of those possession receivers that you know Brady can rely on. And I think that he's once again gonna gonna see a decent amount of targets here in a good matchup against his Eagle secondary like Mohammed Sanu as well as Eagle secondary is is battered up. I do wonder, um, I don't wonder how close Eagles we would keep this game.

They looks like they're not gonna be without without with any of the top wider severs like we had earlier in the year with the big agil Or game. J j Ever Single whitesidee. Jeffrey, Look, he's gonna play. Let's talk about that too great. So you think that the Patriots are gonna kind of pull away in the new one because every everyone else, it seems like the sharps, right, the sharp betters are on the Eagles. Everyone's yeah, neither of mine. Well, the Eagles last with you. I wanted

I like the Patriots in this right. I mean, there's no Jeffrey, there's no de Sean Jackson, Miles Sanders banged up to Miles Sanders is gonna play Lorton Howard practice today as well, but he was on the injury report. They think we see a lot of zach Ertz and Dallas Godder here, like Goddard's the big winner because they need to throw the balls big winner again, don't we do this all the time? Where wouldn't you rather, Targe? Wouldn't you rather target the Patriots defense in terms of

their linebackers and they're definitely and their safety. I don't want to target Nelson Aglar if I don't have to, because but if he's likely going to see one of those corns, will you tell me all the time takes out your best player, that's zach Ertz on this offense. So then that means Dallas Godard is probably gonna see potentially I have Gottard inside my top twelve tight ends and he's very sneaky this week. Where do you compare

Dallas Goddards like Greg Olsen? I didn't really like Greg Olsen. Yeah, I have I have Olsen a few spots higher. I have him as my tight end eight just because I know that the Falcons shut down the Saints last week. What they did last week was super impressive. You know, they kept these Saints without a touchdown at home for the first time, and like forever, so that was a great job by the Falcons. But I still don't think that their defense is very good. And we're coming off

a game where Greg Olsen just had double digit targets. Uh, so I think that he can have some success in this spot here, Greg So I do like Greg Olson a little bit more, but I think that we get a Dallas our game here too. I think that the way to attack this Patriots defense is going to be on the ground. I had I saw an interesting stat that over the past five weeks, the Patriots are allowing the third most the third highest yards per carry to opposing running backs over the past five weeks, so they

are struggling against the run. I think we see a lot of Jordan Howard again this week. But you don't want to target wide receivers against this Patriots defense, So I think we get a lot of Jordan Howard. I think we get some drawn up plays two Miles Sanders where they throw him the ball, and I think we see a lot of the tight ends as well. So I have got our inside my top twelve. And again on the other side, I like I like Mohammedanu and I like the Patriots as well in this game. I

I'm not on the sharps with this one. I think this is a This is a the old Belichick Philly Special. All right, we don't forget Patriots are gonna win this game? Greg? What the Belichick Philly Special? Dude? They lost them in the Super Bowl? You think you don't think they have this one circled on their calend So are you tell Scot blown out by the Ravens? So do you think there's a chance Ben Watson throws the ball in this game? I don't know about all that. You know what, what

is the over under? Are you sure you can find this right? It's probably point five on passes that somebody other than Tom Brady throws this week. Well, normally you can't bet on that. That's super Bowl. It's only a prop that you could bet on in the Super Bowl. I mean maybe if you find a website with like really exotic props. But I think most just normal sports books don't have that one. Greg Belichick and the Patriots are gonna literally just want directly behind you in the bar.

The Philly specially directly is unbelievable. You know, Tred Burton, you know, Trey Burton's like petrified, right, you can't feel like they Chico tried to run it. He's like, I can't do I can't do it again. I can't do it once in a lifetime thing. What's the lifetime of things? Philly special? Uh, Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles of course go at it here, Um this Sunday? What do you make in indian Atholis? Where do Jack Doyle Wilson play? Where

does every Iran fall on your So? I actually have Ebron ranked one spot ahead of Jack Doyle because last week the Squeaky Wheel gets the oil and he ran basically the same amount of He played the same amount of snaps as Jack Doyle, and normally all season long that was Jack Doyle wasn't comminating playing time, he was dominating routes. Eric Ebron played basically the same amount of snaps and he actually ran more routes than Jack Doyle he had twelve targets to just four for Jack Doyle,

so he complained about his role in the offense. They got him more involved. I think that makes a ton of sense because t Y Hilton is still banged up for the Indianapolis Colts and we're not expecting, you know, Zack Pascal and Chester Rodgers to be you know, world beaters for the Indianapolis Colts here, so they need someone to step up, and I think that those two somebody's

should be the tight ends on this team. So I actually have Ebron ranked once by higher and if Jack Doyle were out, Gregg, you know, I could see getting Ebron all the way up to you know, tight end six. Doyle did practice today, so he should be fine. I'm still gonna rank Ibron ahead of him, just based on what we saw last week. Man Doyle a touchdown maker. I like toyl two. I have them back to back.

They're both inside of my top ten. Beautiful. All right, take a break here when we return on the BFFs Thursday night football preview Sailors and Browns tonight, are you ready for the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you, The betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Crade will provide you with a real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before.

Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the meadow Lands, sports Create is live eighteen hours a day, here to serve you the fanatic. This is sports crid. Get off the grid, Frank, if you on the edge, what do you do? Get on the grid? Do the GOODA? Did you sing this song to Judy this? You know? I know the song? You were there, you know when nobody was around. Honestly now, like you know at the altar or anything. I know,

I was there. What you're gonna do with it? Get married and say here's me? Probably not need this kind of like this, that's true. I did sing. We both I ran the fight. You never producer Sandra downstairs a big fan of the song as well. Why didn't you FaceTime? I don't know, I should have. I end up my phone on me, but probably should have FaceTime. Probably should Sorry, Sandro and I came up and getting a big slob ass. Let you know what's going on. Didn't you even feel it? Drunk.

We're feeling much. I'm sure you're not well. Bourbon very good, you dream bourbon. I've never had it before. I drank um yesterday and Nashville moved on from tequila. I'm on too, whiskey and bourbon. That's the phase of life that I'm in, Tula. So last night in Nashville, it was funny because I wanted to go to a certain area of our last day and I put in like a gallery that right, cool is is galleries in like printers alley. It was like, this seems cool, but we find some like like Jack

Daniels area. Alright, let's check this out. So they go to that area and they're like walking around this like building and there was this like moonshine store and they had like a very dangerous They had a free free moonshine tasting. Got to you got to pick any five moonshines you wanted five five and you can try him and basically they gave you gave you like a little bit, which turned out to be the amount of a shot and a half. It was more than that. Yeah, you

were feeling it right, So we did that. We did a moonshine tasting yesterday we were taking a fight. Last night, we did a moonshine tasting. After that, like right across the hall from the moonshine place was a liquors like a wine store, and they did a wine tasting that costs five dollars. Alright, so Gregg, he's getting wasted for fives getting wasted. So the two of us get an uber back to the hotel and get ourselff go to the airport. We are bomb. That's great. Did you dry

different flavors? I'm assuming of the moonshine? Yes? What was your favorite? I really the cinnamon was delicious, okay, because I've I've had an apple cinnamon one before. So I had apple. I tried apple pie, I tried cinnamon. I tried um. What was it spicy? Something? Um? What else is pumpkin spice? They were still on um? Naturally? What else?

Did a blue berry? One by one? Lemonade? Lemonade was another shout out to Greggy, your exclusive drink of the night, and was the judge which is all I drank all night other than it was lemonade. Yes, I was. I'm all over the place, right, so Teto's and lemonade was my drink that I was sipping. It was kid. But when you want to take a shot, obviously, I mean I'm not just going to take a shot of vodka. No,

of course not. No, I'm in a Polish relationship. But I don't I don't have not very much running through my veins, so I don't love just the straight vodka shot. So I went with the bourbon with the Tito's and lemonade as my drink of it was delicious. It was great, delicious, very good. Um so yeah. So they had this and in a place we went to earlier a couple of days ago. Their special was moonshine and frozen lemonade and

it came out of one of those machines. My sister warned me about that she was do not have more than two, so we for brain freeze purposes as well. Obviously my brain freeze very quickly even this kind of stuff. So June and I each had one. I'm like, are you feeling that She's like, yeah, I seem my sister had three Peter guts out. Not this time we had one. We felt it like the four local challenge we had too.

I would wouldn't have been able to see straight. So right after that, we walked across what was called Pedestrian Bridge. And it's really cool in Nashville. So like the arena where the Predators play, right in the middle of the city, like right down Broadway, the end of Broadway Boom, Predators read. I'm like, this is sick. And then right over the bridge where the Titans play, Like this is so cool.

That's pretty dope. So we walk to the bridge and you want shameless vengeance, okay, So and shameless is all these like homeless people to just live there and like sell drugs all this stuff. So that was this and I'm like, this is not good. I don't want to be here. I'm just gonna run back over the bridge. So I start like running up assessors. Judies. Is the first time you haven't run up steps in your life. She's taking her time. Now we're walking across this bridge.

There's very few people on the brain to get mugged in Nashville. And then some guy comes up to us. Oh no, hey, sir, can you help me for a moment. I just you know New Yorker. I'll just keep walking, sir. I'm talking to you, sir, I am talking to you. I know you hear me. I start just running, oh man, scared Greg running down and Nashville Broadway. Then we were not not broad it was the pedestrian bridge. We crossed

the pedestrian bridge. We get to the other side. Now we're in the stadium parking lot to cold pictures outside Nissan Stadium. Super cool call newe takes back to the the hotel and you just sit there on the phone and I'm just like looking around, right, I saw like four dudes in a row walk past us with like post malone face tattoos. I don't like, this is not good. I thought you would have thought you saw it all

living in New York, Graig post malone face tattoos. Did you just taking her time and you were like, oh my god, drive drive drive wild time out there in Nashville. It was it was crazy man. All right. Let we get to some news and nose before we previous Thursday night football, George Kittle was ruled out last night until Kyle Shanahan kind of walked that back. Not what I mean, he was ruled out, but like'robably not gonna play. Yeah, it's not looking good. I saw some reports yesterday he

was still limping around in the room. And I watched part of this game on Monday night and I saw Dr Chow report on Twitter that even he was cheering from the box like he was grabbing that left knee or right whatever knee it is. I don't know what's going on with George Kittle, but he's pretty significant. And that's why I will bring up Raw Dwelly. Greg of course sounds like a greggy guy just based on the cool name theories. You can't really get a cooler name

than Ross Dwelly. But if we're being honest here with each other. Seven targets for Rossdwlly last week going up against the Arizona Cardinals, a team that is so bad against tight ends that they revived the soul of O. J. Howard and allowed him to score a touchdown last week. So, look, if you're in a pinch here, if you're George Kittle owner, if you just need a tight end because you have somebody on a bye week, you picked up Jacob Hollister and you were you were riding that train. Now he's

on a by Rossdwlly going up against the Cardinals. Look, the matchup literally does not get better. He had seven targets last week. He's probably involved once again this week. Greig Ross Dwelly, let's go in the lineup, dude, hell is Deebo Samuel gonna be awesome this week? Or let people down this week? If Emmanuel Sanders does not play, Deebo Samuel is going to be awesome. Yeah, um, high

end wide receiver. Three offs. Other news and notes, we mentioned alshon Jeffrey we don't expect him to play this Sunday against the Patriots. But also Matthew Stafford. The report was earliest day that he's practicing, he didn't, and you wonder how serious is I mean, you know what the injury is in his back, but you wonder how long it's gonna keep him out. Jeff Driscoll could get another another spot start or Detroit. What is his do to

past catchers? Hitty Golladay? I'm sure you get throughout there still. But Marvin Jones, T J. Hockinson, what is uh Jeff Driscoll starting do to that? Well, Marvin Jones is already about as boom as buss as you can possibly be. If you look at this guy's game log, it's you know, the upside is massive. The floor is very low as well. Uh, this just exacerbates his his boom bus potentials. So you know,

he's outside my top thirty six this week. Still waiting to see what's gonna go on with Stafford, but as of now, I am ranking this situation like Matthew Stafford is not going to play. T J. Hockinson didn't see a few targets last week, six or seven targets, and good matchup going up against the Dallas Cowboys who just allowed two touchdowns to Kyle Rudolph last week as well, So definitely would have some interest here in T. J. Hawkinson. Greg, Yeah, I know, T J. Hopkinson. You say this a lot

with rookie quarterbacks and young quarterbacks, backup quarterbacks. They're lying there tight end. J. J. Hawkinson one of those checkdown gashm and rely on. I think you have to like J. D. McKissick as well. THI Johnson trying to practice, but check baby, you mean that THI Johnson is gonna be clear to play. I mean he still is in concussion. These things, Uh, they're very tricky situations. Shepard was gonna play a couple of weeks ago. He's a flex option. He's right around.

He's in the thirty of the thirty two range. I'm still waiting to see what's gonna happen with this THI Johnson news. But even if THI Johnson doesn't play, I'm not gonna move up J. D. McKissick much higher than this. He did have seven targets last week that was a season high. The Cowboys give up a lot of receiving production two running backs this year, so he would be in a good spot, especially in PPR Leachs Greig. But let's see what happens here with THI Johnson and Feeland

didn't practice for Minnesota. I don't think he plays the Sunday, especially with the Vikings by next week. So we always talk about, right who should step up? Sure, Stefon Diggs, but Kyle Rudolf in a nice game last week for the Vikings team. Is he and your top ten? He's not in my top ten, He's just outside of my top twelve, but he's in that area. He's a streaming tight end. I just wonder if we just got all these touchdowns from Kyle Ruff, did we now miss out

on all the production? Right? So, like how many games in a row is he going to score a touchdown. He's really dependent on that because Irv Smith takes away a few targets per game. He's you know, been catching a few balls there. So I like Kyle Rodolph, but how long will he keep up this touchdown production. If Adam DeLand doesn't play, which it doesn't look like it, I think that he is back in. That makes an extreaming ted end. Greg, alright, so we'll see as we

look for more extreaming tight ends. You also wanted to mention Darius Guys. They'll be back and Bill Callahan hasn't planned to rotate him and Adrian Peterson. That makes a ton of sense, Greg, especially considering that this team is one and eight and not really going anywhere fast. I would think that they want to see what they have in Darius Guys. I still think that see a little bit more from him. Maybe it's a sixty forty split.

They probably want to ease him back in. You know, he hasn't played in a long time, so I'm fine with that. I agree with that. I have him as a you know, lower end flex lower n RB three. But it's a really tough matchup against the Jets, Greg. They just limited se Kwon Barkley to one rushing yard. They've been really good against running backs all season. I would try and get away from both guys and AP and this matchup and kind of see how it plays out.

I agree. I'd like to be able to just watch it and learn and react rather than take a shot here on one of these tues I'm not gonna be mad if Darius Guys goes out there and has a good game and and a bad matchup. That means that I can actually trust him as a flex hoops and moving forward. Totally agree with you. Okay, Thursday Night Football Tonight, it's the Browns of the Steelers. Browns at three point home favorite over under sits at forty one and a half.

What are you thinking? So I'll start off with the running backs because that's where I think a lot of the production is going to come tonight. James Conner returning from that a c joint sprain and the Cleveland Browns are allowing four point eight six yards per carried to opposing running backs this season. They are twenty second and run defense div away. I think that the Steelers once again lean on the run here. I think we get a few dump off passes to both James Conner and

Jalen Samuel's. But James Conner is inside my top ten. This is a really good matchup for him going up against these Cleveland Browns. On the other side, it is a tougher match of for Nick Chubb. You know, the Steelers are allowing just three point eight seven yards per carry two opposing running backs. That is the eighth fewest in the NFL. There are eleventh and run defense div Away have shut down some pretty good running backs as well.

Chris Carson only had sixty rushing yards against his defense. Mark Ingram only had forty four rushing yards against his defense. But based on that workload we saw last week with Kareem Hunt back, Nick Chubb still saw twenty four running back opportunities, which means that he is still a top ten running back. I don't think that you can really get away from him and Kareem Hunt. To me, Greg, based on that pass game usage, there was a lot of plays where they were actually on the field together.

He saw a ton of targets. Believe it was nine targets last week for Kareem Hunt. In PPR leagues, he's in play for me as a a middling RB three, I think that he has a legit flex option tonight, would you rather story hemorror j D McKissick. I would go with Kareem Hunt. I agree with you. I think

they're going to find ways to get him involved. Chubb owner, are you at all concerned about what those six runs from the one yard lender inside the five, not getting the endzone once it is possible they turn away for him to go to Kareem Hunt inside the five. It's a possibility, but there's his fault. But no, it's not his fault. I mean, the play halling has been very predictable. The play calling has been terrible inside the red zone for the Browns all season long. I think that Nick

Chubb is their guy. It's definitely, you know, something you keep in the back of your mind. But I mean, honestly, what are you gonna do about it? As a Nick Chubb owner, I'm not trading him away because that that workload is still massive. So I'm gonna keep, you know, rolling with Nick Chubb and just hope that the next time he gets that go on an opportunity he converts on it. Greg when it comes to the past catchers here in this spot, I have Jujuice miss Schuster as

a low end wide receiver. Three. I know I said earlier that they should get him involved in the game is where he has seen seven or more targets. He has actually performed really well in those games. But this Brown secondary is no joke. They've been really good all season long, even when Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams were missing time. Their secondary has played really, really well, and I think they do so again tonight. I don't expect a lot from Mason Rudolph. I don't expect a lot

from Baker Mayfield either. Here Greg, the line is very curious to me. I would stay away from the side in this game. I do like the under quite a bit here. Totals at one and a half. I would take the under, like the over on James Conner's rushing and the under on Baker Mayfield's passing yards. Tomorrow, freak and I'll be back to let you know everything you have to for Week eleven. Frank Staff thinks, so much

for watching. We'll do it all gonnamorrow. We hope are you ready for the nation's first and only free twenty four hour network dedicated to you the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide you with a real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports book at the meadow Lands Sports Crede, He's live eighteen hours a day. You

just serve you the fanatic. This is sports crade. Get all the Grade. What did happen? What did happens? Here's what you missed on the BFFs talking about some players and how much money they went for in fab last night.

Brian Hill went for fifty one then the highest, the next closest bid in terms of other players, Darius Guys went for thirty one dollars to who e y Eric young e y. I know that you were waxing poetic on Darius Guys last yesterday, So tell us why you you threw a decent amount of your remaining FAB here

on Darius Guys. Well, I think that Darius Guys kind of the same thing that Nick was saying, is like, look, this guy is a stud athlete, an unbelievable football player, and given a decent opportunity I feel like Washington has turned the page saying coming out and saying Hoskins is the car quarterback going forward. They're saying like, look, we're going to lose games, We're but we're going to see what we have and starting Adrian Peterson giving him twenty

carries is not what they're going to do. I don't I don't believe that at all. I think Darius Guys will start, We'll get the majority of the carres and we could look even see Adrian Peterson be inactive just like he was in Week one. Nick, how do you see this situation playing out here? Because obviously Adrian Peterson has found found the fountain of youth once again. I mean over the past four weeks he's averaging over ninety rushing yards for a game, right around nineteen carries per

game as well. Do you see interim head coach Bill Callahan just kind of like veering away from Adrian Peterson because they are starting Dwayne Haskins for the rest of the season, so it seems like they're starting to go towards that youth movement. Do you think that lends itself to Darius Guys getting more work or do you think they slowly ease guys back in, and we still kind of see a split back field between him and Adrian Peterson. I think they're ready to give guys the rains. Man.

I'm with you. I I just like, what's the point. What's the point with ap He's not the future there. Maybe this first week back they don't give him a full workload and they split it. But I think by week thirteen or week fourteen, we're gonna see guys in the eighteen to twenty touch range. I think they need to see what they have in this kid before, you know, before the summer hits and they start to plan for

the future. Now with you know, Haskins under center, they obviously want to run the ball a ton, So I wouldn't be surprised if, um, even if they do split work, guy sends up in that you know, fifteen touch to eighteen touch range right at the gate. Because you go back to week one, the last time he played, he had I believe ten ten carries. Um he was even getting he got three targets. Yeah, so he was involved

on all three downs. I mean, Chris Thompson, I have no idea when he's gonna get back on the field if they even never, Yeah, if they even they should just put him on the I R at this point. Let guys in AP kind of run the backfield. But yeah, I think guys will be much more involved on on all three downs right and receiving, work pass block and work that kind of stuff. Uh So, I think the ceiling in terms of like touch count is much higher for guys, and I think they do start to eventually

phase AP out. Tougher matchup this week, coming back against the New York Jets, he just allowed say Kwon Barkley to rush for just one yard. He's poke about that a lot earlier on in the week. But after that he gets to Detroit Alliance, who are allowing the second most fantasy points, to Carolina Panthers allowing the fourth most fantasy points, the Green Bay Packers allowing the fifth most fantasy points. That's weeks twelve through fourteen, so those could

be some big money weeks here for Darius. Guys also has the Giants in Week sixteen.
