listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy Best Friends Forever, m To to to Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do don it too. Yeah, is as the Fantasy Fast Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Although excited, Reggie Sample, I am Greg Sam. What's going on? Money, Greggy, you must be in a great mood. Have no idea why you're wearing the tire today. He popped in the studios. The champs here. It was the first thing he he put on. This was not
speaking of the champs being here here. We come hot at the right time. League myself, you Michael Florio's sharing the squad. That is fun. But we it's going the right way, I think, man, But I think the team is going the right way. I'll be honest with you. Are early round picks not great, really not great at all. But the later told you not to take DeVante Freeman. That was you. No question about Brown. He's great, he's doing his threat. Agreed, But somebody I really wanted for
many rounds Adrian Peterson. Awesome. I was on board with that. I was with you one him the lit bit later. You know, I tried to get in like dead round straight, but it's fine, Like I, you really want fifth round with those second Adrian Peterson, Like I you really wanted Aaron Jones crushing it. Awesome job by you. I really wanted Bobby Woods doing his things. Foia won on the squad, by the way, he wasn't not the draft, and there you go. So he gets nobody. Yeah he hasn't got
any credit. John Smith, Mike I was gonna pick up on Mike. Yeah, so we're all gonna the Golden Tate things. Frustrating now that yeah, Golden Satan Philly not the same guy. No, no it's not. But how's your weekend, Frank? How was my weekend? Friday was nice, little game night a night in UM got to play some of the new the new Pokemon game for the Switch too, so that was great. And in Saturday, went out for a birthday, went to my first ever like one of those rooms where you
do karaoke. It's like karaoke bar. No, like it's like in Koreatown where like they give you your own room. Yeah yeah, so you get to it was like ten people, one of King King of his friend's birthday. So lots of karaoke Saturday night and then Sunday all day long. How were you? What did I do? I was? I had a wedding in so on Thursday here you heard the shout out that was great. So on. So it was great because on Thursday we got down there and I got past the snow. I just made it past
the snell and we went down. We had we had a nice dinner, and then we took a Jitney to a c and we had up a sports bar there which was cool. It was like five dollar pictures, which is awesome. And then we went to Boogie Nights. It was for you, Scott Angel, but we really did good a Boogie Nights which is ridiculous, went to Live Music, had the wedding the next day. I spent the rest of the weekend in Philadelphia. Oh you know what you know? Did we read the weekend? I read that a car
and drove there. Um, but did you know you didn't couldn't tell you this yet. The bride and groom, so after all, like the groom has been in parents and stuff, we're announced the brandan groom then came out wearing their Eagles T shirts jersey jersey for the groom and a T shirt for the bride. And then as they went back to their to their suit and dress, they played Fly Eagles Fly, and it was very, very invigorating. So he didn't enjoy that. Maybe they jinx the Eagles, but
at least they showed up to the wedding. The Eagles never made it to New Orleans. But it's funny because Judy's father a couple of years ago I pull the story in the air before. But Judy's father bet against these a big Eagles fan, bet against the Eagles. He has the Patriots a couple of years ago because they were they lost to in a row. They were in New they were in New England. They were only seven point dogs and they went up winning the game. And
he but he hasn't been than anything. Right that fifty bucks he was, I've never seen him so angry. So yesterday during breakfast, he's like, all right, how do I bet? Like what do I have to do to bet? And you want to bet? Like I got a guy you could bet a big deal because I want to bet against the Eagles again in New Orleans. There's no way they cover seven and a half. There's no way, it's ridiculous. I'm not I'm not gonna I'm not letting you do
this again. Like it's the same recipe for disaster again. I'm not letting you. He's like, I'm not, I'm not gonna do it. You're right, you're right as nah he was, but he knew, he knew were laying low, staying out of his line of sight. No, we left early. It was all good. But over the last the Eagles got trounced yesterday by the New Orleans Saints. They didn't show up at all. Frank, what happened in this one with the New Orleans Saints. I think I think it's two
teams that are trending in opposite directions. Obviously, I mean, that's the easiest thing to say, but the Saints are now nine and one. Think about this, Greg, but their lone loss was in Week one to the Tampa Bay Years. It's just it's football, right, like it's football. They they've they've rattled off nine wins in a row. Now their defense is playing better, offensive seemingly unstoppable through a breeze. Another three or sixty yards and four touchdowns two weeks
in a row. Now, mark Ingram getting it done a hundred yards and two touchdowns, but Alan Kamara continuing to get it done as well. Um, even against the Eagles, who it's a tough matchup against running backs. And then Kwon Smith. You know this really was It wasn't just the week of the rookie wide receiver. A lot of rookie wide receivers played well, but really just the week of rookies overall. I mean Lamar Jackson getting the first start of his career. Say Kwon Barkley doing his thing,
um and Justus Edwards doing his thing. We get to later on trae Kwon Smith Greg thirteen targets, ten receptions, a hundred and fifty seven yards and a touchdown. You know I mentioned him on Friday kind of in passing with Elliott, but I mentioned you know, I don't hate him because the Eagles secondary was so banged up. Um, you know, have injuries there, but you look at what he's done, I mean especially in home games his past
three home games. Obviously yesterday was a home game and in in the Rams you only had three yards in that one, but scored a touchdown. And then his previous home game before it was against Washington where he went off for a hundred and eleven yards and a touchdown. So, uh, this is looking like a home road split kind of thing where when tray Kawon Smith is at home in the fast track, it's what we used to say about Ted Ginn and now he's filling that Ted gain roll.
He's a legit wide receiver three when he's at home in the Dome. I think so too. And listen, Philly, the secondary has been burnable all year. We've targeted this. You want to cost you want to target them like you're targeting the Eagle secondary. Even before the injuries. The way to beat Philly was, Look, they're very stout up front. They have a strong defensive line, strong linebackers, so they're
gonna be They're gonna be good against the run. Way you want to attack Philly is through the air with wide receivers. So we look at who is playing Philly the next couple of weeks. You got the Giants, so Odell Beckham gonna fire him up, obviously, but Sterling Shepherd is gonna come even more so into play in its matchup against the Eagles. Washington Cope McCoy is the quarterback.
Maybe not, but then you get the Cowboys with the Marie Cooper to the Rams obviously gonna I mean they do it against everybody, the Texans later on in season. So those are the matchups that were looking at next that we're gonna target against the Eagles secondary, no question, no question about mark Ingram very very good. Once again, Jackasmith certainly the story. But my man Josh Adams only bright spot for Philadelphia played of the snaps for the
running backs yesterday for Philadelphia. And what's crazy about this, Frank, it was a negative game script for him all game long. He still played the majority of touchdown for the Eagles twenty eight yard run and he looks good. I know you don't trust Philly running backs, but he looks pretty good. He does. But here's here's the problem, right, we're talking about how bad the defense is right now, they're gonna
be in a lot of negative game scripts. And I know you just preface it with that seven for fifty three. He scored the loan touchdown in this game. But if he doesn't score that touchdown, they're playing from behind the whole game. I do like the fact that he was finally used in the past game in this game six targets. That was more, you know, the only other running backs to be targeted in this game, Corey Clement, had two targets, so coming into this game, Josh Adams only had one
target all season. So to see the six targets being used more in the past, yea, he continues to run efficiently. If we can never get a game where you know, he gets you know, ten to twelve carries and now what three four targets, then yeah, I mean you're you're looking at Josh Adams as a flex plan. Now, I'm not going to rule out the possibility of Doug Peterson doing Doug Peterson things, but he said that he wanted to get Josh Adams more involved in That's exactly what
he did. Yeah, he did. You gotta take him at his word moving forward, not all the ways, but at least in this case for nothing to not get the ball. That's basically it like he's running efficiently. I know coming into this game. It was the past three games he was over six yards per carry. This game seven point six yards per carry against a stout run defense in the New Orleans Saints. So everything is going right for
Josh Adams. But the Eagles defense is banged up, so again, I think they're gonna be in a lot of negative games, Scrip. I'll also say this, Corey Clement, the only other person that more than one carry in this game. He had to when Smollen only had one. Seven of the nine running back carries in this game, it certainly looks like Josh Adams backfield. Whatever that means they placed. They faced the Ice next week, so it should be more in
their favor. We'll see. I like that call too, because since next Harrison left, we just saw yesterday Peton Barber destroyed the your New York Giants, who are about to go on a serious run. Greg. People were looking at the playoffs here that craving at me and people are buying in. They could have lost the box. Absolutely are I had biting my house set. He's like, dude, they can win out. No, no, they're not. It's so annoying. Man, You're gonna win just enough to like get the sixth
overall pick in the draft. Exactly. You can't do hey, man, you look actually I'm roofe for the Giants. Now does every game that the Giants win's keep losing? Don't I don't compete in the same whatever. Yeah, but now now nervous the Jats gonna do enough and they're like, that was bad. What you probably got like two more years left and don't have the best quarterback raining of his career this season because he's been when he had one
completion yesterday, right, but it was against Tampa Bay. Because his completed percentage is the best it's ever been. Here's someone he because he throws past it to se Kwon Barkley eight yards behind the line of scrimmage. You do that, John, It's beat the Bucks thirty eight to thirty five. Say on Barkley, the best game of his career. A hundred yards on the ground. They rushed the balls twenty seven times. He's scoring two touchdowns on the ground, one through the air.
This is only one of two catches on the day for Barkley. He was outstanding. You're certainly gonna ride him. I was thinking about this. I don't want to get into this because I hate when people do that in the middle of playoff post. But I was thinking about, like the top five picks for next year. There's a really good running backs like in that class, in that top five for fantasy football. Yes, yes, you're talking Gurly
and Barkley. It's gonna happen this first round. We've already kind of seen that transition like where it used to be used to be kind of even like McGee, like six running back, six wide receiver or something like that. It's gonna be heavy running probably running back. Yeah, I mean, I was just thinking you like that, those against it right now, the top five Todd Gurley, Barkley, Kareem Han, Melvin, Gordon Camar is in there too. I mean, in those five are media and I'm sure there's many many others
that I'm just forgetting here. David Johnson starting to play well now he might mean to the back end of the first We'll worry about that, no doubt later on. But interesting, very interesting on the other side for Tampa Bay, Peyton Barbera rushed eighteen times for over a hundred yards. He had a touchdown as well. And listen, tam Bay was a comeback mode all game long, and he still got his job, got the job done. Yeah, I think this is just more of a product of who they
were facing, right, talk about the Giants. Since they've lost next Harrison, they've given up higher yards per carry, more likely to give up these, uh, these bigger runs. They face the forty niners next week, so Peyton barber is likely in play as a flex option again. We got
a few more teams on by in week twelve. Obviously the Rams and the Chiefs will be on buy, so you miss out on Komreem Hunt and Todd Gurley, So you might you might feel right about Peyton barber in that matchup, but most weeks, I mean, he's nothing more than a low end flex option. I will say that he saw us eighteen of the twenty one team's running back carry, so he is that guy for the team. But I mean, look, it's how many times has this happened already this year? Fitzpatrick turns the ball over a
ton and he gets benched at halftime. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if at some point you're gonna get a season Jamis Winston gets benched again for right, just a carousel can't make a need a quarterback. And then we're gonna fight for them for three yards. So for some and now they have the same they have the
same record, and the Giants, that's not so good. I heard something that, um, if Jamis Winston were to get hurt, this is the only pause that they might have for playing him is if he gets hurst and his options guaranteed for fifteen million next year. But I had read if they were really concerned about that, they would have made him the inactive quarterback rather than the backup they want to play and do that because then it's too obvious. But here's you can do whatever. One number one, we're two.
Dirk Hutter's funny for his job. Now we all know he's gone, but he probably doesn't know that. He probably doesn't have that. You know, it sucks in my home league. I'm the commissioner, so I guess it's a bad job by me. But we never really had this come up, Like no one's ever complained about it, but it happened to me a serious so now I noticed it. We don't have the little I didn't have the checkmark on
for offensive fumble recovery touchdowns. That's not so Mike Evans, who I have would have hadn't even bigger and had a monster game. I mean six for one touchdown. I mean, I'm just being great, But why wouldn't you For fantasy football you need all the points you can get. I don't have offensive fumbled recoveries turned on in my league, so something I have to put to a vote next year. You have that turned on. I didn't even know there
was a thing to turn on. I think if you have the Commissioners Service for CBS, you have to turn on everything. But I mean, it's it's good that you have the option to like tooggle anything on or off. Yeah, so Evans game six for one jar was good as well five for seventy eight and I'm humfries man. He started him in the in the flex for you for six a touchdown. I didn't start him. I texted me, started t J. Jones and yeah, I have three tight ends and I started in the one time, and I
started five yesterday. Man, it was like it was last second and they were talking about how Marvin Jones wasn't gonna be ready for Thursday either. So I'm like, all right, you know, maybe t J. Jones could pop off or something. It just happens that Bruce Ellington ended up being that guy. Not that he did anything, but he did have nine t Yeah, I'm gonna get to that in a moment. But at twelve forty seven, I switched out uh Josh Dockson for Advance McDonald I took out for Josh Dockson
McDonald's with a touchdown. Doxton did nothing? You started the higher man, and I started hiring in over Jordan Read and the first time didn't played Jordan Read all the years, so obviously he scored a touchdown. So I started the wrong tight end out of all three that I had, um but I I want anyway, thankfully, I take what barg I started. Jeff Hireman over Jordan Reading another league as well Stocks and of course McCoy when he came in,
he started targeting Jordan Read. Yeah, he started. He targeted jocks Doxon a lot as well. He targeted both of them. Gonna get to that, and had eleven past attempts five to docks in three to read. When you get to that in just a second. I want to get to the Washington I want to get to Detroit as well. Um, but in my league, I faced somebody I always, for some reason, it's always happens to me, naturally. I faced somebody that left Marvin Jones in their line up yesterday,
and he was ruled out on Friday. This wasn't one of those like twelve thirty things. This is like he was. He was ruled out on Friday. So somehow I get crap from not texting him, be like, hey, dude, Mark Joe isn't playing. Oh no, what what I think it's my fault? May the commissioner should have done it correct. I didn't do anything. I all I did start up. I do that. I don't tell people to set their lineups.
But it's happened already twice this year with the same person, and he's out of it, has not set his line up. So I don't text him beforehand, but I'll text him after line up slock and I'll say this is your second strike one more time. You don't set your line up this year, and I'm gonna find someone else. So I mean, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna set your lineup for you. I'm not I want here to hold your hand to play fantasy football. I mean, if you
care enough, you'll set your line up. Despite not having Morvin Jones, Lions defeated the Panthers yesterday twenty and nineteen. We never saw this coming for Carolina specifically, Yeah, man carry On Johnson seven and the touchdown, then got hurt for the most of the second half. Doesn't he's gonna play thirsty either, And it doesn't. There's no way. We're Thursday, we'll see if he's ready for for week thirteen. It
could be. It could be pretty serious too. Hopefully now they don't think it's an A c L and f CL. I think it's he's he's been so, he's so, he's really legit. He's good And I was excited about carry On before the year. I worried the closer that we got uh to to the start of the season that you know, they were talking Abou Lagarre Blond and Theo Riddick. But he is all the talent that we expected to be.
Exactly what I said last week about Anthony Miller. When a team trades up in the NFL draft to acquire a player, The Lions traded up to get carry On Johnsony. You bet your asset they're going to be in on carry and Josy and get them as much work as they could. He's been phenomenal. We'll take a break here. When we come back, we'll figure out what the bucks. Didn't you do that with Ronald Jones singer haund There's more on the way next. 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 releading DFS tools and custom projections, and now Daily Rhodo dot Com Optimizer in minutes building optimized line up for cash games and turneys. Learned from the game's best DFS players joined Daily Roado dot com. We all sad. It says you plus me? No, can't you LUs? It says you plus me? He us us come on, counculus count you LUs. We talked at
this before. Does a boy band thing from the men's Is it like a mock boy boy band? You plus e equals us. This is Chris Farley's brother was in this Kevin Farley. Oh, I was gonna ask guy from Forget It, what are you asking? Brooklyn nine nine and Shamburg? Yeah, is that like him before? Andy? Samburg knows he and Samburg does like these like parody songs. You know he
does for sure? For sure? You know they made a whole like fake movie about like bring your Boy that Together, and they came out with That's all Calculus and actually made the Billboard charts, the whole deal, and it was all too really fake. It was great. Um, all right, let's go back into football. Cool. Yeah, I think we should go back to this, uh, this Lions and Panthers game for a second thing. It's exactly what I want to go because there's a lot to take take away
from here. So the Lions one twenty and nineteen over a Carolina team that we all thought was really good. But they can't win away from Carolina, just one in four on the road and Detroit, who was land three wins coming into the year and they've just been lambasted the past couple of weeks. Get away with the victory. Kenny Golladays just unbelievable. Man. He's eight for one thirteen with a touchdown, fourteen targets on the day. He's going to be a monster and REGI half leagues next year.
He is a high quality wide receiver two in my estimation. Um, but the wide receiver to on Detroit without Marvin Jones available, well, it's kind of nobody. Now. We we invested in t J. Jones on the BFS when Golden Take got traded. Marvin Jones was outside picked up t J Jones across the cool of other spots. He wasn't the guy. Bridge Ellington was activated yesterday and immediately went to work on that first drive shut out after that, immediately went to work
in the first drive after halftime. Shout out after that. Six receptions fifty two yards though for Bruce Ellington on nine targets, second on the team, including more than theo Rick Bruce Ellington, I know he said didn't really do much, but he was targeted quite a bit. He definitely was. And I think the process here us thinking t J. Jones over Bruce Ellington was correct. I mean, he's been
with the Lions for a couple of years now. They just picked up Bruce Ellington at a note like he got let go from the Texans earlier on this season and the Lions picked him up. So t J. Jones knows the offense, He's been with the team for a while. You figured Marvin Jones is out, t J. Jones is the next guy up. He actually played more snaps than Bruce Ellington as well, but was out targeted nine to one. So look, if you picked up t J. Jones, I
think you're dropping it out obviously. But if Marvin Jones Mrs. Thursday, which I think is likely Bruce Ellington, he's a bye week final, bye week week twelve, you know, borderline whatever, wide receiver three like you, you're realistically don't want to use Bruce Ellington. But Kenny Golladay four teen targets last week, posted a career high in terms of targets with thirteen this week top that again set a new career high with fourteen targets was phenomenal. A hundred and thirteen yards
in a touchdown. I don't know if you saw the player where he came back to a ball and basically took it out of the other person's hands like it was it was Bradberry. So quarterback of the Panthers, where he basically jumped over him, took the poll back, caught it and then continued running as well. It was just Anny Golladay. There's a reason why he's baby tron like. He is absolutely legit. I'm with you. He's wide receiver too. On the other side, shout out to the Maryland Turps Man,
huge game for d J. Moore. Mget winning this weekend though, Man, that was devast that they can't. Saturday is like the only day of the week where I kind of have to take a break from football. Get it. And it's like there's too much. There's too many teams, too many. They were beating Ohio State all game and they well I did I did see the highlight of this though, and they like lost. They went overtime, went overtime, Ohigher States scored a touchdown and Marilyn came back for their
present and actually good this year. No, they're terrible. How that happened. They scored, they scored. The running attacks amazing. Book McFarland's son and Anthony McFarland's like, what are the best pressure in the country. He's amazing running profect um and his hands messed up to um anyway, so that Maryland score touchdown it over time and then went for two. And as a kid, just almost like this game with Carolina was why I bring it up. They go for to to win the game at the end and our
quarterback rolled out. A guy just popped in there. He's just sitting there, just sitting there, and quarterbacks just blew it by him. John Man sitting right there, wide opens. Yeah, absolutely brutal. And it's like like Carolina lost going for to going for to go for the wind. Cam Newton, I've never seen him have all day in the pocket like he did yesterday and not just walk in the end zone like I don't know what he was waiting for.
Why don't just walk right in? Yeah, well, well to be fair, like there was a line in front of him, like he could have rolled outside, and yeah, we did have old days. Yeah that's what I'm say. I was obviously the Lions pen. They're like, look, we're gonna back up, we're gonna play as much coverage as possible, and if
he runs like we'll trying to attack him. And that's exactly what he did because he didn't roll left, he didn't all right, he just sat in the pocket and that's that's how you beat the guy threw it to. I believe it was jarious right wide open. And that's where you're reminded of why is Cam Newton not talked about in the discussion of elite quarterbacks in terms of passing, And it's always been the accuracy issues. So right there,
you were reminded of that once again. In terms of all around what he can do, yeah, he's absolutely elite what he can do with his legs, but in terms of his arm I mean, this is the one drawback to Cam Newton is the fact that sometimes he misses these wide open guys. But d J. Moore, Now, eight targets,
seven receptions are fifty seven yards in a touchdown. I think if the season goes along and we're already starting to see this, yes, Functions Functions still had eight targets in this game, had a ton of drops, only had two for thirty nine. Actually kind of liked Functions this week. I wrote him up last week in the rankings because why the Lions were struggling mightily against wide receivers. Again, the process was right, it was just the wrong wide
receiver was d J Moore who went off. Curtis Samuel scored a touchdown in this game, and David Devin Funchis is an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, so I wouldn't be surprised if you know, over these last couple of games, we start to see Funcius you know, uh, they started to face him out a little bit, and we started to get a little bit more of d J. Moore and look good, Why wouldn't you, I mean, he's explosive after the camp, he made plays down the field.
He scored a touchdown on Darius Slay, one of the maybe top five top ten cover corners in the NFL right now. So the arrow is pointing up for d J. Moore. I will say, I still think there's a little bit boom bust nature to him, just because Cam Newton spreads the ball around. I'll agree in DJ Moore the two yard catch and running from the goalie that Darius like caught up to him and stopped them from scoring a touchdown there, which is crazy a d J. Moore just
a really really big game. Also shout out to Curtis Samuel who had the touchdown five fifty five and I feel like, just using the eye test, he's come on a little bit as of late. Um, I thought so too, And then I looked at his game blog and I'm like, nobody could have predicted he hasn't hasn't done anything wrong. You know why, It's because he scored a touch from Brooklyn. I didn't know he scored a touchdown in favorus LASTI games. That's why it just seems that way he has not.
Jerryus Wright dominated the snap snap count inside the slot. Yes, so there you go. Carolina loses to Detroit yesterday. The Washington football team, they fell at home to Houston, and here's the three reminds me kind of your fantasy football team. We're like, they're not very good, but they just keep finding ways. Yeah. I don't think that they're good that good man. I think they're a little bit better than you can give them credit for. Greggy like Deshaun Watson
is not putting up monster numbers. Um, and the look the offense is kind of like vanilla right now. Yeah, And and Gabe talks about this a lot like Bill O'Brien is the only one who's holding this team back from being truly great. Like why don't you just unload Deshaun Watson and let him do what he can do. But defense is playing well and now they've rattled off seven straight wins. Like Houston Texans. The Texans are trending
in the right direction at the right time. I know that they faced the Colts in a couple of weeks and that matchup is going to be so so pivotal in the a f C South standings obviously, and you know, we're reminded of what happened earlier on the on the in the season with Frank Reich, Uh, you know, going for the win in overtime and ultimately losing that game. But yeah, the Colts are training in the right direction. We'll get to that as well. Um, but the Texans
are playing good ball. E QT returned in this game and he played. Um. He played less naps in both to Mary Thomas and DeAndre Hopkins, but led the team in all receiving categories, tied for the league the lead in targets with with interceptions with five. He tied DeAndre
Hopkins what had seventy seven yards. Reminder of that when he's healthying on the field, he's he's Shawn Watson's go like him and DeAndre Hopkins are the go to guys, and we continuous loously say that about slot receivers is these are the guys that can get open, and Shaun Watson is gonna continue to look his way. We do have the note to Marius Thomas did was not officially
targeted yesterday. I leave he was targeted on on a pass that went where there's a penalty, honest and an account big donut for complete zero ford Marius Thomas yesterday, and that hurts QC back in the lineup, back healthy. And you see there's that comfort factor with QC, much like there was Will Fuller when he was there. So usually feel comfortable playing Kekey in my opinion, and I will continue to do so going forward. And obviously DeAndre Hopkins is just a superstar in this league. On the
other side, let's let's get to Washington here. Alex Smith suffers a gruesome leg injury on the same day Joe Hasmond did thirty three years later, and it looks so random. How does that happen? It was ended up being the same final score as that game from before we part. Alex Alce was rattling stuff off downstairs h during during the morning after about how it happened on the same
yard line. Really it happened. It was also done by two former three time Defensive Players of the Year in Lawrence Taylor, and this is like, there's way too many parallels. It's super weird. The only thing that would have been crazy is Alex smanth is thirty four years old. It happened thirty three years ago. Imagining was thirty three. Like this is crazy, Yeah, this is some crazy juju stuff going on here. Jordian Reed was torrited everywhere. Then amal
short stuff that you're used to with Alex Smith. Once Colt McCoy came in, he's talking a bit more down the field. Read led the way with seven or seventy one and the touchdown. He did have a leven targets to lead the team. Josh Dockson was pretty quiet until, as Frank mentioned a few moments ago, Colte McCoy came in seven targets for the Boxton that was second on the team. It's clearly what this offense is, which Josh Dockson and Jordan Read with a lot of Adrian Peterson. Uh,
if you own these guys as I do. Um, you don't feel horrible the Coult McCoy because he's a capable backup. He's not one of these brutal guys that will kill you. Um do you feel okay? So you're a Jordan redowner. I don't think much has changed in all. Honestly, I would argue it's better with Colton McCoy. And I'm not saying he's a better quarterback than Alex Smith, but I think he's willing to take more chances. And I know that Washington is going to continue to try and win
their style football. They're gonna play defense, they're gonna run, They're gonna give it a lot to Adrian Peterson. But I do think Colton McCoy is more likely to pass the ball down the field to take a few more chances. And yes, maybe he turns the ball over more than Alex Smith. And I'm not saying Colton McCoy is like, oh, you need to go out and pick this guy up by any means, but I think it might actually help the weapons here a little bit more. Again, he threw
eleven past attempts. I know it says twelve, but one of those was a spiked ball. But on the top on the targets, it was five for docks and it was three for Jordan Read. What sucks for Jordan Reid is like I did, like you did. Um, he was
only starting in fifty seven percent of leagues. He still owned everywhere, but hetty and rightfully so like I don't blame people who bench Jordan read yesterday, but it will say I think the fact that he was targeted eleven times overall, Colton McCoy stepping in, I think it's actually arrow up for him. I didn't want to mention Trey Quinn,
who played predominantly slot receiver for Washington yesterday. If Jamison Crowder is out again or for the foreseeable future, Tray Quinn is that slot receiver, and he was targeted four times for receptions forty nine yards. Moe Harris actually struggled moving to the outside receiver. He was targeted for times when only brought in one for thirteen yards. Yeah, if you were like me and watching this game and wanting John, I started Josh Dockson, as I said over Jordan Read yesterday,
because I thought the inventor has a touchdown. Obviously that was incorrect Um, but I was hoping so so I watched a lot of this game, and just like, who the F is this little white dude catching all these past seventh It was it was the week of rookie players, man, and he's a rookie wide receiver. I remember watching the preseason they were talking him up a little bit. Um. This kind of fits the mold of the slot receiver.
I guess. Right. Then, let me get right into you talk about the day of the rookies, and Lamar Jackson got his first start over the year for Baltimore, who went on to defeat Cincinnati four to twenty one. And the Ravens and Marty morning Wegg ran a college style obviously, you've ever seen it. They did not want Lamar Jackson to throw the ball early threw at nineteen times for a hundred and fifty yards. But it was what he did on the ground. He carried the ball twenty seven
times yesterday. This is more more than round the ball in college, you know, honestly. And they ran a strict college style offense. He rushed for a hundred and seventeen yards. Somebody asked me yesterday before the games, do I start Lamar Miller, Ben Roethlisberg. I'm sorry Lamar Jackson, Ben Roethlisberger or Marcus Mariota. I said you should start Lamar Jackson, and I think Ben Ben wounded having more points ultimately, but Lamar Jackson had a good look. It looked good
for for most for most of that Steelers game. If it wasn't for that final rushing touchdown from Ben, you probably would have been right, Greg. As of right now, Lamar Jackson is the eleventh best quarterback this week. Obviously, with Mahomes and Golf still to go, you'd imagine he's gonna get pushed down to QB thirteen, but still not a terrible start if you started him. But I don't. The question is gonna be cut we're gonna get this week? What do we think Lamar Jackson going forward? Like we
expect him to start next week? They do, They do not think Joe Flack will be ready for Week twelve. And is this one of those Michael Vick situations or is Lamar Jackson's flash in the pan? I guess I think he did exactly what we expected out of him. And if you remember last week, Greg, we said for the Ravens pass catchers. The best thing that could happen is Joe Flaccos back because Lamar Jackson is not there throughout nineteen times in this game, you ran the both
twenty seven times. Ravens, what are you guys doing? Like you you brought your winning you brought Robert Griffin in. I assume this is my assumption. You bring Robert Griffin into kind of mentor Lamar Jackson and tell him like, look, dude, you can't take the hits that you're gonna take at the NFL level because I was there. I lived through it. Like there's a reason why my third string quarterback now at the NFL level, like I got crushed because I
was taking these huge hits. If you just watch the first drive of that game, Greg Lamar Jackson took two huge hits to start that game, twenty seven rushing attempts. I understand it's a college style offense and and they ended up winning this game, So can you really question it? But you also got to think about the future of this kid. He's a rookie and he we know that he's still raw in terms of a pastor his footwork, you know, working inside of the pocket, and he did
some good things. Yesterday, he still had the interception and it was kind of a It was kind of a prototypical play that you would imagine, like he starts running around a little bit, kind of jumps up in the air and throws at the same time and it ends up being an interception. But man twenty seven rushing attempts. He took some big hits. I mean, he needs some more work as a pastor. But I don't I don't know how long he's gonna last if he continues to
take and that's the problem. Like the Bengals were not prepared for what Lamar Jackson threw at them. Not literally is in your throw, but physically yesterday, they were not prepared for that. I wonder it was all like it was really really fun, don't He would do the three step drop and then to see the middle open up and just take off. And he did that multiple times, especially early on in the game. But again, he's either got to slide, he's gotta get out of bounce because
he was taking big, big hits. I will say next week Baltimore does face Oakland at home, so good spot for him. It's a good spot for sure. I mean the Raiders defense is not great and uh, you know, we assumed they were tanking. They ended up winning yesterday, but that was pretty much the tank of though on the Raiders between and the Cardinals. Outside of Lamar Jackson, though,
the big story was Gush Edwards in this game. And I texted both you and h and Florida and used the word f It was a big capitalized uh F word. Who f is? Gush Edwards scores a touchdown in the in the first quarter, seven carries for eighteen yards, and then every time you watch this game, it's Gus Edwards getting the job done. He carried the ball seven times. The Raider. The Baltimore rushing attack had fifty four carries yesterday.
Seventeen of those went to Gus Edwards, who had a hundred and fifteen yards rushing uh and a touchdown as well a time. Montgomery was not involved, Buck Allen was not involved, Alex Collins was not involved. Who the F is Gus Edwards? And do do we need to figure
that out asap? Thus Edwards the man who had sixty two of the snaps yesterday, Greg Alex Collins just twenty two percent of the snaps And this was pretty much the process of a results week because a lot of what I thought would have happened happened, but it wasn't the right player on the right you know. It was the guy was in the right spot. It was the right team in the right matchup, but it ended up being the wrong player. And I don't know, you know,
obviously nobody foresaw this coming. I believe Gus Edwards had sixteen carries coming into yesterday and he had seventeen carries overall rush for a hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown. Every single time you think that it was about to be Alex Collins time he has that first drive where he scores a touchdown, has a phenomenal schedule upcoming. I don't know what. Like Alex Collin, like him and John Harball, like they must have something behind closed doors that like
they just hate each other. Every time it looks like it's about to happen for Alex Collins, something happens. The worst part about this is that Gus Edwards performed well, Like, how how can I sit here and realistically say, like I'm excited about Alex Collins moving forward, even what the schedule he has, You can't because thus Edwards got the
seventeen carries over a hundred yards rushing. Alex Collins hasn't had a hundred yards rushing in any game this season six point eight yards per carry, and after the game, John Harball talked him up about how this is this is the North South runner that we've wanted all season. That's very telling, right when you say stuff like that that we've wanted all season. It's basically like Alex Collins has not been the guy that you've wanted all seasons. So it's hard for me to really back Alex Collins
at this point. I think he's I think everyone's gonna have to go out and pick up Gus Edwards especially everything. Um. Yeah, at this point, he could be the running back that takes off the second half for the Ravens and then we get stuck back into him next year and taking a break, we're back after this.

Greg, I still think Alex Collins is a talented running back too, and he's super young. So maybe not with the batsmore Ravens, maybe with somebody else. But for whatever reason, every time it looks like it's about to happen, it doesn't happen.
Something else pops up. It's Buck Allen stealing goal line carries. Now we have Gus Edwards, who was a four year player at Miami. But then also I guess it wast of like red shirt. I don't really know out like the semantics of college. But he played his final year at Rutger's. Last year he has a rookie running back. He's six two thirty five. Again. John Harbaugh said that this is the North South runner that we've been looking
for for a while. He also did say we have four talented running backs, so I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that Gus Edwards is definitely the guy. Like it could be a complete mess, it could be okay. Well, oh, Alex Collins is running well in the first series of this game. Well, let's see what he could do the rest of the game. Oh he's not. Let me give the second series to Gus Edwards and and oh he looked good. Let me let me give it to Gus Edwards for the rest of the for the rest of
this game. So it stocked because, uh, you know, the Ravens, especially with Lamar Jackson, like this is this is a situation where you want to have the running bag for fantasy of course, because of course you know it looks like a great situation, but you have to pick up Gus Edwards. But you have to also be realistic with your expectations, all right, So there you go. Uh, the Ravens can turn back to Alex Collins at a moment, and that would obviously be a disaster for fantasy owners.
I'm Montgomery touches this week in the bag that that's not gonna happen. Atlanta lost Dallas at home yesterday twenty two to nineteen. Jason Garrett. The Clatha goes from all the hot seat to arguably the favorites to win the NFC East at this point is a Marie Cooper. The difference in Dallas. Obviously the numbers weren't great yesterday three for thirty six, but just the threat of Mark Coover seems to be a big deal for the Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, and shout out to Elliott christ the Quantit Edge t
q E. Go check out their stuff. They have these really awesome analytical tools where you can look at splits and I saw someone tweet this out last week. You can look at the Cowboys offense with Mari Cooper since he's joined them and without a MARII Cooper, and you know the amount of explosive plays, their yards per attempt, basically everything has gotten better since a Mari Cooper was acquired.
So I know we were all very critical of that trade, the fact that they gave up a first round pick and while you know his play his first two games were great. This one was not great by any means. I think the threat of him being on the field, as you mentioned, great certainly has changed the outlook of the Cowboys offense specifically. I love what they're doing with Ezekiel Elliott. The past two weeks at least six receptions in two straight games. He was targeted eight times. In
this game. He led the Cowboys in all receiving categories. This is a new facet of Ezekiel Elliott's game, which we were somewhat expecting this year because Jason Witten and Dez Bryant a large majority of their targets from last year for the past couple of years were now gone, and we assumed that Ezekiel Elliott would be used more in the past game. But he's kind of evolving into that Todd Gurley esque running back where he's getting eight targets,
seven receptions, eighty yards. He just you know, he had a monster game against the Cowboys receiving as well. So if you own Ezekiel Elliott, I will admit that up until they Marty acquired Amari Cooper, you were probably you know, a little underwhelmed by what Ezekiel Elliot was giving you. But now with Amari Cooper and the fact that they're using him as a receiver as often as they are, he is going to end up winning lots of people
fantasy championships down to stretch here now. Ezekiel Elliott another one of those running backs we talked about earlier going in the top half of the first round next year because he has the ability to do stuff like he did yesterday, both in the passing game and in the running game. He's just simply fantastic. Yesterday, Coe Beasley drop a touchdown which her owners certainly weird. You don't really see cold be easy job all that many five or
fifty one yesterday. Dak Prescott helped Dak Prescott, who I know a lot of people were streaming him. I was about the side. I used him in cash yesterday too, so I could have used him. I could use that extra touchdown as well. On the other side for Atlanta, tep and Colin off the backfield eight for fifty eight. His yards for Carris actually pretty good. He's just not getting enough carries. Think they in weird game scripts reftly obviously no one expected them to be down against the
Cleveland Browns. Nobody expected them to be down against the Dallas Cowboys. There were three and three and a half point home favorites in this game, and a lot of people, you know, we're on the falcon side in this game. It's the classic. You know, the Cowboys, UH builled you up the week before. They have a great performance against the Eagle, so we expected them to crash back down to earth. That didn't happen yesterday. They went into Atlanta and actually got the job done. So it was a
negative game script for Keevin Coleman. But I still do think he's in that you know, mid range to low end RB two discussion. Still does see majority of the snaps and we know that when they get down near to the goal line, Keevin Coleman is the preferred option. Julio Jones Gregg has now scored a touchdown in three straight games. If you had to describe this with an emoji, it's the one with the blue face like, oh my god,
what's happening? Julio Jones positive touchdown regression. The last time he scored three weeks in a row, Greg wasen weeks twelve, thirteen, and fourteen. So just to put that in perspective, the talent, the spectacle that is Julio Jones. The last time he scored a touch on three straight games was back in He's now done that. Positive touchdown regressions. What is hitting his waight? What is Julio on the year? Why receiver? What? I could pull that up for you. I'd imagine he's
easily top three. I mean, he'd be top three. You know. It's amazing because I know we talked a lot about him in the preseason. We don't want him, we don't want to do this isn't the but but when we were like, okay, he was bad, but he's been last year and was still a top with six seven wide receiver. I agree, but you look, I'm looking at the numbers now. I mean this year he's he's been better than ever.
Like I know, the touchdowns will be frustrating. The last three It took him until It's crazy you would think that Greg, he's why receiver seven? Why receiver seven? Trying to name the seventh ahead of him? To be fair, that's in the standards scoring. So let me put it in a PPR. He's still seven. He was six wide receivers ahead of Julio Jones. Okay, Antonio Brown, Yes, he's wide receiver four. Oh, DeAndre Hopkins's wide receiver five. It's kind of the has to be based on touchdowns. So
Davante Adams, he's wide receiver three. He has nine touchdowns, and that's it has to be what it is the only reason Uleo Jones is the only wide receiver in the top ten who has less than five touchdowns. I mean, you look at this. He's had a hundred yards in every game but three of them. One of them we had ninety six EPR. I mean, consistently, he's averaging twenty points six Fantasy points perso. And that's with him only
scoring three touchdowns. Again, and he's been healthy for the most part around out that top six, right, Tyree Hill, are you Hills? Number six? He's just ahead of Juleo numbers do I have to get? So we're still one and I've gotten to one yet, right, you haven't got one, you haven't got two? Have we got one or two? That's interesting? Oh? Okay, it's easy when you're on the spot. You see, it's not those people who watch NBA Twitch Fantasy feud. You know it's not as easy when you're
on the spot one and two. Um, Brandon Cooks, Brandon Cooks is wide receiver fourteen only has three touchdowns as well. That's the thing. Yeah, that's the thing right there. Um alright, other wider Adam Feeling obviously receiver one feeling. Yeah, I was obvious. Michael Thomas. There you go. Interesting. Everybody inside the top six has at least seven touchdowns. Ye okay, let's psin you on, Franky. Let's have that Pittsburgh Jacksonville game,
which is a weird game. Jacksonville up sixteen nothing and they were just beating down the Pittsburgh Steelers. And in all honesty, at that points, I was patting myself on the back saying, I read this game skirt right. I wanted nothing to do with Ben Roethlisberger. I want nothing to do with Vance McDonald. And then all of a sudden the third and fourth quarter, uh, Pittsburgh was able to hold Jacksonville off the scoreboard, and they were able
to do just enough to win. Ben Roethlisberger through three interceptions, two more were called back to the penalties, including in the end zone on that final drive where he ran an in for the touchdown. He threw at forty seven times in Pittsburgh get enough to get the win, a
B five for one, seventeen and a touchdown. I say that the Jaguars deserve to lose this game because if you just juxtaposed this game with what they did with the New England Patriots earlier on in the season, two completely different teams, you could tell right now they're hesitant, they're not confident. Their offense is not the same that it was at that point. Blake Bortos put up over three passing yards and I believe it was three touchdowns in that game. They did not take their foot off
the pedal. In this game, he threw the ball eighteen times. And I understand the way the way to win is we want to pound the rock. We want to give it to Leonard four nette a ton. But at some point Blake Bortos is gonna have to make a player two or you know, you're gonna have to get an extra first down. You'renna have to score a little bit more. You can't score sixteen points and expect to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Even with the Jaguars defense playing as well
as they did. They sacked Ben Roethlisberger two times. They picked him off three times. This comes in a game where you know Jalen Ramsey was in the news all week. He had the cryptic tweet and we gotta report late Saturday or Sunday morning that the Jaguars were gonna be shopping him in the off season, and then they denied that report. He had two phenomenal interceptions in this game as well. Jaguars deserved to lose this game, Greg, because
they just weren't aggressive enough. And I'll say that as a Blake Portals owner. In my super eight carriages on the day yards nine total touches. Since last week, since coming back, Carlos hid eight carries for forty four yards. The game plan was clear, pound the rock and three much success. Already three total rushing attempts in this game, Greg, And the thing is Leonard Leonard Fournett on the field. Everyone knows what the Jaguars recipe is like. There's no
element of surprise whatsoever. They know he's gonna run. So obviously averaging three point four yards for carrying this game, it's not necessarily his fault. The guy is probably facing stacked fronts every single time he touches the ball. I will say again another game where he's up around thirty touches per game, and it's because of that volume, even if he's not running efficiently, that he's gonna be a
top twelve running back. It's just how long can he keep this up before his legs, his feet, his hamstrings, before they give out. Because it's gonna happen eventually. Given the fact that he's dealt with the hamstring this year, foot and ankle injuries dating back to L s u U, I think there's you know, there's something to be worried about with four net here. But while he's healthy and getting this much work, he is a legit, you know, low end RBD one at worst. And this is how
he sneaks back in the first round. By the way, when you see these workloads and not with me, you know I was the guy all four and I'm not gonna do it next year. I get it. I get it. I'm never going to be that guy, even even if even if he proves me wrong it makes me look dumb. I'll take that l because running back who deals with hamstring and foot injuries, chronic injuries, I'm just I'm getting involved. I'm going to be the guy on Jujuice Schuster eight
from one of four last night. It's four or seeding game in this season, and I was number two wide receiver. I wasn't the Juju guy at all coming into this year. But you read the stat lines, sixty four for eight sixty six only three touchdowns was a little which, a little disappointing. Um, but he's really good and unfortunately the Pittsburgh like there's simply only so many touchdowns to go around between between James Conner and Sony around. Whyde receiver
Levin with just three to touchdowns on the season. Uh, he's not sorry. He's five one hundred yard games this season. Rank five, Yeah, he's got five. He started off the first three. Must looked at the game log yesterday before they updated and added this game, So yeah, it was four. Then he added yep, it's five five. Yea, he's had two games under only two games all year under fifty yards. Pretty good receiver. Speaking of James, brutal for him game, but game script did not favor him in this one.
I know he had a drop in this game as well, but we still targeted nine times six receptions for twenty four yards, So the usage was there. I'm not gonna blame it on the fact that he's been concussed or anything. I just think it was a rough Uh it was. It was a rough game flow throughout this game that the Steelers pretty much did not play in the first half,
Like they just didn't show up early on. And that's just more of the same for these one PM road starts for a big bend in the Steelers offense, but then they came alive late. There just wasn't enough time to get James Conner involved given the game flow. Ye, still on RB one, I'm fine with it. Yeah, I agree, he's James James Conner, one of those running backs they're gonna be in the top half of the first round
next year. Well, it's hard to say right now, right because we also we also got a report over the weekend that the Steelers would transition Tag Levy on belt He's like, how can you say definitively he's not Because I'm I'm in one of my home leagues. I'm in the position where it's a keeper league and I can try and acquire James Conner if I think that he's going to be a Steelers starting running back next year. Because I believe he's a ninth round keeper. It moves
up one round. He was drafting the tenth round, So that sounds awesome, right, I could get the Steelers starting running back. I might look at another Should you should do that? Just no one knows for sure. Look, if you have him in keeper or dynasty, don't sell him like you're obviously if he is a starter, like you're very excited about that. But nothing in the NFL would surprise me, especially given this Levian Bell situation. Nothing would surprise me. Leave it at that. With that that, I
want to sign off of YouTube for today. Corey Porson, Jim Day, and Chris Venture come your way next with Fantasy Football Frenzy. We'll continue on podcast. Make sure you like us, rate us five stars, subscribe and leave a comment. Listening live on the radio, we certainly appreciate it, and we'll be here for the next five minutes or so. There are four more outstanding games left. I'm not gonna hit on Arizona and Oakland because I don't want to,
so I'm gonna move on from there. I got a hit on the drubbing of the Titans yesterday three eight to ten by Indie and Andrew Luck once again three more touchdowns. Frank, Andrew Luck is your comeback player of the year with his outstanding he's been And here's the difference in the offensive line. He hasn't been sacked at all in the last five games, I believe, and in that in that time frame is only throwing three interceptions and a hell of a lot more touchdowns. I believe
it's eighteen touchdowns or so. He's been unbelievable. He's like getting touched right now. I do know their center Ryan Kelly got hurt yesterday. Um, but he's just been outstanding. And I mentioned to Mary as Thomas is a big zero or hebron no it yesterday. Yeah, and also played less snaps than both Jack toil and for the second consecutive week. So look, and you called me out for it that I had him ranked too high and it was reaction before you had him right. But I had
him as a top five tight end this week. But again, like calling tight ends is a craps you like, again, we we bench Jordan Reed. I don't know that many who could have seen that coming, but it's gonna be frustrating because now people are gonna bend next week and it could be the week where he scores again. Like, but he's gonna be used in the red zone. That's the problem. Ibron's only being used in the red zone
at this point. Jack Doors, Jack Doyles the every down tight end, Moley Cox is the second Titan, and Eric Ebron is the red zone specialist. T Y Hilton and and my man Jim Sans was all over to you, why Hilton last week? I can't. I spoke him up on Friday too, so I kept trying to kind of look into it. I didn't see it in all, Honestly,
I couldn't see why. People the outside corners, Malcolm Butler, you knew, had struggled, and then the Dory Jackson people were like they were kind of shying off to hilt and they were like, well a door Jackson shadowed whoever it was the week before in the second half, and he played well, just not well enough to guard to I hild him because he was shadowing him. But he got burned. He was outstanding yesterday, nine receptions for a hundred and fifty five yards and two gorgeous touchdown catches.
One nicer than the other, keeping his feeding bounds. He was out of ridiculous as he I'm not going amazing, amazing, um, Marlon Mack, by the way, sixteen carries yesterday sixty wanted to touch from the Domino game, but he did enough. The Titans are tough defense. I know you don't see it because of how this game and but in terms of run defense, like they have a strong front line, they have strong linebackers. They've been very good against the run this year. Marlon Max still had a great game.
I know he had a dud last week, but again, don't overreact. We're still in that discussion for a mid range RB two with Marlon macran. Absolutely, especially the way the offensive line is playing. According to Football Outsiders, they have the third best run blocking offensive line in the other I mean, they're incredible. Jordan Wilkins got in the end zone for the first time all season. Uh and that hem Hines also caught a past for twenty yards.
Don't there you go in the hinds, um. Marlon Mack clearly the the hop running back on this team, and they don't shy away from him in the red zone. Of Frank right just doing a really really good job play calling. Portas Colts team took a little while age going, but now that they have uh them, there are two days back right now. I believe the Texans in the a f C South that will be a fun battle to watch down the stretch. Call. It's one of the
hottest teams in the NFL. Huge dud from the Tennessee Titans side because we spoke up Dak Prescott is the streaming quarterback. We also like Becus Mariotta, who was trending in the right direction. I find it interesting suffered a stinger in the first half, so I didn't play the second half to be fair. So and and we'll find out if that's like something that's going to linger now, like because he was like flexing his hand. He was doing that thing again. We thought it was it was
an issue. They said it was not. They've come back said it's not the same nervu issue. He suffered a stinger. He does not. He's not in the concussion protocol. So I think it's just if the sting was just last day or two, you're fine. If it lasts for a while, that that could be true. It's just like a convenient excuse though, for Mariotta, like anytime he's playing well, like oh, he's suffered a stinger, like he's injured, like he's dealing.
I don't want to say that about a stinger, but okay, I mean I'm not gonna look, you don't know what he feels like. We're not inside Marcus Mariot's body. But every time anything goes bad, it's oh, it's uh, it's a nervous too. It's a stinger. It's one of some. So look, if Blayne Gabbert has to play quarterback for any period of time here, you're obviously downgrading Corey Davis big time. All Right, Um, the probably shocked your charges by the way yesterday, and then Kirk Cousins gets smacked
around agains Chicago. Keenan Allen is about to do that Keenan Allen thing. It's not about to he's doing yeah, because he's had He's had at least a hundred twenty four yards receiving or he touched on in three straight games. He loves the second half. Yeah, and I love Keenan Allen. The Frenzy is up next, Frank Stanville. My name is Frek Sausman. Thank you so much for watching the fantasy best Friends Forever. We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope.
