Video Summary
AI GeneratedHost Lou Albanese and fantasy football expert Adam Ronas analyze NFL matchups and fantasy strategies. They discuss the volatility of the quarterback position due to injuries, evaluate specific player trades, and identify \"buy low\" targets. The conversation emphasizes the importance of owning elite \"stud\" players to navigate a season marked by instability and roster rotations.
It's the Kicking and Screaming Podcast with your host,
the grouchiest sports podcaster
on the Upper East Side, Lou Albanese.
I might be grouchy, but I'm actually winning
my fantasy family football league.
You know, 10 teams and I'm eight and one.
I'm doing right.
That's why I'm happy.
But in the work league, I'm in last place.
And that makes me grouchy.
Fantasy football, we're going down the stretch.
We got football, football, football,
Giants, Commanders tonight on Fox 5.
But everyone cares about us at Fantasy Football League.
And I'm with Adam Ronas, the king of fantasy football.
Adam, thank you for joining us.
You are going to save everyone's league right now.
Anyone who's trying to make the playoffs,
you're going to tell them exactly who to play
and what's going on, right?
Yes.
You're going to tell them who to pick up on the waiver wire,
who to drop, who to start, who to sit.
Is that fair?
That is not a problem.
If you're watching today,
I guarantee you're going to win your league.
But before we get to that point,
we do have a big game tonight.
Giants commanders, what do you think?
Yeah, obviously a division rival.
These two teams have faced off already and resulted in a tie,
which we hate to see as Washington botched the ending of that game.
And that's the biggest difference to me.
They botched that ending.
Oh, my God.
Was that horrible.
You've got to get off a field goal there.
I mean, what are you doing on that situation?
And that's the difference, I think,
between the two teams right now is the coaching.
You know, Harbaugh has obviously done a good job coming in there,
changing the culture of the Giants,
and it's resulted in them taking advantage of a weak schedule.
They've only played one team with a winning record,
There's nothing you could do about that.
You have to go out there and get the wins.
Washington still has some hopes for the division.
Obviously, Giants are in great position right now.
A loss would leave the door open for Dallas or even Washington
because the Giants are just not running away with it yet.
It's a good matchup here.
I think there's some concerns on the Giants' side with J.J. McCarthy.
How is his health? It's a short week.
We're going to have some weather with rain and some wind tonight,
so I think it's going to be a challenge here for the Giants.
Well, we ask everybody.
Any questions fantasy-related or Giants-related,
please, we're on YouTube.
We're on Fox Local.
Join the chat on YouTube.
Michael Regine asks, I hope I'm saying that right,
J.J. McCarthy in the weather and hip injury or Brissett, Okonkwo?
Yeah, I'm going to go with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback.
Again, that is also a matchup against the Chargers.
Now he'll be making his debut for Baltimore.
But we saw last year and even parts of this year,
Jacoby Brissett can get the ball to his key players.
And you have Zay Flowers there who has been unbelievable this year.
In the last two games, he's been hurt by the quarterback play.
But you have him.
You also have Jacoby Lane, an exciting young rookie, Derrick Henry.
So they needed a quarterback because
the last time we saw Baltimore that Thursday night
was just a pathetic display of football.
So I would go with Jacoby Brissett there
because McCarthy has, you know, he's helped
the offense, but he still hasn't thrown
a touchdown pass in the last two games.
That's true.
And they are going to lean on the run, I think, a lot with the weather.
And as far as the tight end, I would go with Okonkwo there.
He's been pretty good.
He's got a good matchup against the Giants.
You know, Higby does get an advantage with Puka Nakua out.
We've seen them use the tight ends, but it could be Colby Parkinson,
and they're also going to run the ball a lot.
So, yeah, I would go with Okonkwo.
He's been impressive and a solid matchup
here tonight against the Giants.
I'm hoping also I have Derrick Henry.
I have Derrick Henry, and he has been shut down the last few weeks.
Without Lamar there, they're just loading up on the run,
loading up on the run.
They had no respect for the quarterbacks.
So I'm kind of hoping.
With a real quarterback here,
they're going to have to play some pass plays,
maybe play a little more off the line,
and maybe that'll open up for Henry because he has been shut down.
Yeah, I think the loss of Lamar Jackson...
Definitely hurts him.
If you look at the yards per carry,
it's significantly down without Lamar
because Lamar Jackson is a mobile quarterback
that the defense has to account for.
Now, Jacoby Brissett's not mobile,
so it's not going to help him in that aspect.
But it opens up a passing game.
Right, or if the offense actually moves the football
and gets near the goal line
because Derrick Henry lives on touchdowns.
He's not a guy that's heavily involved in a passing game.
So just getting a competent quarterback,
it's definitely an upgrade on what they've had.
And you just got to hope that Derrick Henry can.
Be in position to score more touchdowns.
Okay.
Best division in football.
Maybe one of the best divisions I've ever seen is NFC North.
Right now, all four teams make the playoffs, which is crazy.
And they're all good.
It's not one like, oh my God, the last place, you know,
and they basically snuck in.
No, they're four really good teams.
And probably the weakest I thought
of the bunch was the team in first place.
The Vikings make a major move this week.
They get Kirk Cousins.
How big is that?
And if you're like me, I was about to drop Jordan Addison.
And I said, whoa.
Kirk Cousins here now, different ball game.
How does it affect the guys around him
and Kirk as the quarterback for the Vikings?
Yeah, it's a massive upgrade because they have an elite defense.
I mean, this defense is phenomenal.
They blitz a ton, and they create a lot of pressure.
You know, they gave up 23 to Buffalo,
but I don't think that was indicative of how they played.
They had the ball.
Buffalo had the ball for 42 minutes.
I'm going to say, they wore—Buffalo wore them down.
Yeah, wore them down.
That's the only reason.
Yeah, they shot—
That was a tough game.
Yeah, they were—
Buffalo cannot do anything.
It's just Minnesota's offense was three and out consistently.
Constantly.
And any defense, I don't care how good you are,
if you're on the field for 42 minutes, it's going to take a toll.
So now they have a quarterback in Kirk Cousins, a veteran.
He was playing well in Vegas.
He had 20 touchdowns.
He's only one of two guys with 20-plus touchdowns.
But he's not as good as he was.
He's older.
He's not as mobile.
They didn't have any running games,
so they were forced to play from behind and pass a lot.
And he had the best tight end in football in Brock Bowers.
And the other kid's not bad either.
Michael Mayer, yeah.
So he was able to produce.
But now he's going back to an environment he's very familiar with.
Right, and that's the key.
He's played there.
He could step right in today,
and he's fine because he knows this offense.
Yeah, and he's played with these guys.
Justin Jefferson averages almost 99 yards per game in his career
with Kirk Cousins, the quarterback.
And you could see the body language on him.
He's frustrated.
Just him being there gives an immense jolt to the locker room.
I mean, we're –
These guys are human.
Everyone thinks they're machines.
But you know this.
You get someone that takes over that you love,
you're going to be excited to go to work.
So these guys are going to be pumped up for Kirk Cousins.
And yes, Jefferson upgrade.
It helps Addison, who was.
Definitely someone you would have dropped.
I would have dropped him.
TJ Hawkinson, who's been solid as well.
And maybe it finally helps the running game
because Jordan Mason has really struggled
since he's come back from injury.
Aaron Jones had a nice stretch,
but he was also playing through injury.
So yeah, you don't even need Kirk Cousins to do a lot,
which you don't want to hear in fantasy,
but they really don't need him to.
You have such a good defense.
You need him to manage the game
and get you down the field,
but it's definitely going to give a boost
to this entire offense.
And the Vikings had to make a move.
If they would have, if it wasn't so bad
when Carson went some on the night for everyone to see nationally,
I don't know if they would have made the move.
I think they were hoping he would have
been comparable because he had a good week one.
I was going to say he played really well week one.
They put up the most points of the year on week one.
Yeah.
And he got Jefferson involved.
Now, you saw you saw Justin Jefferson's face on the sideline.
And yet that was the face of a guy was like, what am I doing here?
What's going on here?
Yeah, I give them a lot of credit for that.
Yeah, they had to do it, though.
They knew that they were going to get a lot of heat, the fan base.
I mean, at the end of the game when Max Brosnan would come in,
they were cheering loudly just for a completed pass.
Yeah, and he actually moved the ball a little bit.
I mean, I didn't think the game was over, but still.
Yeah, prevent defense and all that.
But still, I mean, I'm not sure if Wentz,
even with the prevent defense, was going to move them.
No, he was so bad.
That was one of the worst games I've seen a quarterback play this year
or even in a long time.
I mean, couldn't.
They were no threat, couldn't complete a pass.
It was awful.
So yes, the entire Vikings offense gets an upgrade
and it makes the race for this division extremely exciting.
They have a couple of tough games ahead,
but then they have a nice playoff schedule for fantasy.
Yeah, so that's good.
Now we talk about the running game.
Denver made a big change.
How much do you like the kid from Denver?
Jonah Coleman, I love this kid.
I drafted him in a lot of leagues.
I had to hold on to him.
When you draft certain rookies outside of the guys
that go early, you know you have
to be patient. And what happens is sometimes
people can't stay patient and
they wind up cutting them. Coleman might have been cut.
He was placed on injured reserve right when
he was starting to take over. But
RJ Harvey going on injured reserve was
massive because that opened up the
passing game for Jonah Coleman. We don't see
J.K. Dobbins involved in a passing game
much. He tried to make a catch last week
and it looked awful. He's just not natural
in the passing game. And J.K. Dobbins
Has had a lot of injuries in his career.
And I feel bad for the guy.
Because every time he's been on the field.
He's been extremely efficient and good.
Until this year.
The injuries have taken a toll.
And he doesn't look good.
And Sean Payton stuck with him.
Stuck with him.
But even he saw.
We got to give this kid Jonah Coleman the shot.
Two weeks ago he helped win them a game.
With a touchdown late.
He had another good game this past week.
They are on bye.
So he's got two games left.
At least two games without RJ Harvey.
I think when Harvey comes back.
He'll cut into the passing role a little bit.
Denver wants to win games, and they have had a very difficult schedule.
I don't think they're that good, but I got to give them credit.
They have beaten some good teams.
A lot of one-possession games, which they did last year, too.
Well, that's what Bo Nix does.
Yeah, they've been winning the games.
He might be one of the all-time great
fourth-quarter quarterbacks in the NFL history.
I really mean.
I'm not just—I'm serious.
He's unbelievable.
I think he has a lot of flaws,
but they're winning games, which is all you want.
And their schedule gets very favorable down the stretch.
So, yeah, Jonah Coleman is a guy.
that you want to have on your fantasy team down the stretch,
I think he could be a massive difference maker.
Okay, you talk about quarterback.
We're talking about Bo Nix.
A lot of injuries this year for quarterbacks.
I mean, we all know here in New York about Jackson Dart,
but there's been a lot of banged-up quarterbacks this year.
It's insane.
I think I saw a stat.
There's been 49 different starting quarterbacks this year.
We are in Week 10.
Week 10.
A 30-team league.
Yeah, so we still have more time to go where that number can increase.
And look, we're at the point now,
You have a lot of teams that are clearly done
that have made these quarterback changes.
Miami, it's rough
because Malik Willis was solid and he was at least
giving life to some of the players
in the passing game. Caleb Douglas had a really
nice game last week, but now
he's out, placed on injured reserve.
We know eventually Indianapolis is
likely going to make a change. Why stick with
Daniel Jones? Well, they tried to trade him
and nobody wanted him. And then you have Arizona
now down to Carson Beck and
he's going to make his debut and
They're devoid of weapons.
Michael Wilson going down out for the season.
He's in.
Vegas, they're going to go with Fernando Mendoza,
which I'm excited to see.
I want to see him play.
I do too.
I mean, a lot of people drafted him.
A lot of people drafted him thinking he was going to get
probably maybe week three or four or five.
They were thinking that 10,
but he's going to start and he's the number one overall pick.
So it's a good move.
I like that move.
Yeah, look, Kirk Cousins was playing well
and they had a winning record,
but we all knew long-term that in that AFC, it was not going to happen.
There was no perfect time to put Mendoza in like this week.
He's got to go and play Seattle.
That is not a good matchup at all,
but you're going to have to throw him out there.
But yeah, a lot of teams now with all
the injuries in the quarterback play,
it's going to sink a lot of offenses.
Seattle without Sam.
Yeah, talk about injuries.
He's out.
And Drew Lock played well the first time against Arizona.
Wasn't as good this week.
He was banged up.
Yeah.
So they're trying to get him through the injury.
So yeah, a lot of teams just dealing with quarterbacks.
I mean, Philadelphia is down to their third quarterback.
Jalen's situation.
I do a show on Wednesdays, NFC Beasts, and there's no guarantee.
His career, I mean, his career is in jeopardy with these blood clots
because they have no idea what's causing it, what's going on with that,
and you don't play with blood clots.
You cannot play around with that.
Yeah, it's kind of surprising he was on that flight to begin with.
That was ridiculous.
Yeah.
I mean, you've got to read the room and realize that this guy,
you know, you pull him from the game, this and that,
because he was hurt,
and I don't want to hear that he wanted to be active.
You don't put him on a flight with the blood clots.
I mean, what are we doing here?
But then again, that organization, I love
Howie Roseman, but that coach, he's the worst
coach in the NFL. I don't care how many Super Bowls he's
won and been at. I don't care.
He's a horrible coach, and I'm
glad that he's probably going to get fired.
It's likely going to happen. I mean, it's just a disastrous
season for them. They've fallen apart.
And it even has, it's
impacted fantasy in a big way because we still
have not seen DeVonta Smith. You know,
he was on track to have a really good year
and he's been out. Saquon Barkley's
been frustrating because you're starting him, but
One week he plays 30% of the snaps and he's limping off the field.
You're like,
there's no way he's going to play the next week.
Then he does and scores a touchdown again,
but you got to figure at some point he might get shut down.
That's the other factor too.
Like Jonathan Taylor,
he didn't get traded,
but why are the Colts going to play him down the stretch?
Now they don't have a first round pick next year.
So it's not like they can lose games to get a higher pick because they
traded them away.
But if you're going to keep Taylor and you're paying him,
Why would you play him in these meaningless games?
We saw it last year with Alvin Kamara,
you know, a veteran running back.
You're just going to be like, all right, yeah, we're going
to shut you down.
So you do have to worry about that with Jonathan Taylor.
Maybe they're talking about trading him in the offseason.
So if that is the case, you don't want him getting injured.
Yeah, he blows out his Achilles.
He blows out his knee.
You're not trading right there at that point.
You better off just sitting.
So that's something you do have to worry about.
Like a lot of people picked up Seth McGowan,
the backup to Jonathan Taylor before the trade deadline.
And I've been telling people I would hold on to him.
Just in case Taylor does get shut down
or they split the workload.
Like we have seen McGowan getting more work.
McGowan got a touchdown last week
only because Jonathan Taylor's shoe fell off.
He had to go to the sideline.
McGowan comes in and scores.
So it was kind of one of those fluky things.
You know, splitting the workload,
it's interesting you say that.
I had, I drafted Brees Hall.
And Brees was off to a good start.
Then he got hurt.
And I picked up, luckily, Braylon Allen.
So I got him.
And Braylon Allen was actually better for me
than Brees Hall.
But the problem is now
they're both in the same backfield
and it's probably going to be a rotation.
So if you're like me
and you've got a Brees Hall
and a Braylon Allen,
are either one worth playing?
I think Brees Hall is the guy
to play right now.
You know, his first game back,
he played the majority of the snaps
and had the bigger workload.
It's unfortunate
because Braylon Allen
was one of the best fantasy backs
with Brees Hall out.
He was so good.
He's been better than Brees Hall,
but Brees Hall is a guy
that's been there.
They just signed him
to a long-term contract.
I thought they should have traded him.
Thank you.
Malpractice.
I don't understand why they held him.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, I don't care you can't get a one.
Get a two.
Load up.
They could have done it last year, too.
Right.
There's no value in two running backs.
I mean, but this is the problem.
And this gets me worried because I'm thinking more and more that,
okay, Woody really wants
to keep Aaron Glenn.
And Aaron Glenn is such a defensive-minded guy
that he just thinks he can rotate these
running backs and keep winning.
And unfortunately, he doesn't win.
It doesn't work.
And you're seeing it down by the red zone.
As soon as they get down there,
they hand off to Brees, they hand off to Allen,
and it becomes so predictable in a shortened field,
and they kick field goals.
There's no creativity to the offense.
If you move Brees, get a second-round pick,
and I think they could have got a second-round pick.
You're telling me the Giants wouldn't have given up a two for Brees?
I don't know if they would have made a trade together.
I mean, come on, what are we talking about here?
Holding two running backs on a team that has two wins on the year,
what are we doing?
Braylon Allen already showed over an extended period.
And he's healthier than Brees because he has less mileage than Brees.
Yeah, he's younger.
He showed, though, already.
Like, we saw a nice stretch where he was one
of the best running backs in the NFL.
And running backs will tell you, it's really hard to get into a rhythm.
When you're splitting, you see these split backfields.
Well, you heard it with the Giants, and they were
complaining about it with the Giants backfield.
Yeah, I mean, when they were using four
different guys, like, you can't do that.
You know, obviously, Najee Harris was outspoken about it.
And then he was gone.
Yeah.
But that's how it works, though.
But I understand.
I mean, it's not like Najee Harris later in his career.
He didn't really have much left anyway.
But, yeah, I mean, look what Braylon Allen did with that full workload.
He was great.
He was fantastic.
And now.
It's really difficult to use him.
You still have to hold on to him
in case something happens to Breece Hall
because you know if Breece Hall goes down,
Braylon Allen's a league winner.
Oh, I won't drop him.
He's a league winner.
I agree, but the problem is it's a split.
It's not, yeah.
It doesn't work for fantasy.
It's not good at all.
All right, well, we're talking starters
and not starters, whatever.
We're going to go to break right now.
When we come back, I'm going to ask you,
who should people start
and who should people bench?
Because that could be the difference
between making the playoffs
and not in your fantasy league
when we come right back.
All right, we're talking about
Any questions you want, please, for Adam, send them.
My boys, Stevie's House of Collectibles, who's our favorite dealer.
I'll be watching and rooting for the gents tonight.
As a Jets fan, I need to vicariously root for some local first place,
or I'll go insane.
There's someone up, I don't know, lean.
Are you familiar with this person?
There's a lot of A's up there.
I don't know what that means.
I don't know what that means.
And Augusto says,
Parker Washington and Barkley for Pollard and Zay.
Would you make that trade?
I think I would make that trade.
I'm a little concerned about Barkley's role down the stretch.
Do they shut him down?
The offense is obviously a disaster.
I love Parker Washington,
but he is getting hurt by Jacksonville being so dominant.
He is not getting any targets in the second half.
They are dominating.
They acquired pieces to improve the defense.
So Parker Washington has to get it done in the first half.
So that's the concern.
And then Zay Flowers, I think,
is obviously reborn with Jacoby Brissett.
He was one of my breakout receivers this year
and he's been amazing.
And Tony Pollard.
Has been really good when Tajay Spears is out.
He's had a couple good games.
But I do think this Tennessee offense
has gotten better the last three weeks.
He had back-to-back 30-plus games.
Yeah, you just have to worry about Tajay Spears coming back,
maybe cutting into the passing.
But he's been good.
They kept Tony Pollard.
I think a lot of people were like, what are they doing?
Because Pollard and Spears are free agents at the end of the year.
But I think they kept him because they want to help develop Cam Ward.
They didn't want to leave Cam Ward without anything on offense.
They want to see if Cam Ward's the guy.
For most of the year, he's been brutal,
but if you remember before the bye week,
they took Cincinnati to overtime, and they put up 36 points.
They ran a lot of no-huddle offense where Cam Ward was comfortable,
so I'm hoping they continue to do that.
You got Wondell Robinson. You got Carnell Tate.
I think Pollard can be good.
I like that trade because I think Zay Flowers is a little bit better
than Parker Washington because I think he's going to get more targets.
Offense will be more competitive,
and I think you have to worry about Barkley.
I was amazed that they put him back on the field
when he was limping.
I know.
I mean, I agree with you.
There comes a certain point where,
why play these guys?
I know they're making a lot of money in all this.
You've got to have people come to the stands,
but they're better off shutting certain guys down.
He's banged up.
He's really, if he was healthy,
and I heard him, and he spoke about it,
and I give him a lot of credit.
He's like, look, I don't want to look back in years
and saying I should have.
play through that and regret
because we know their careers are very short.
Oh, of course not.
So I understand that and I appreciate that.
But at the same time,
if you are not healthy in this league
and in that position
and where they are in the standings,
what are you doing?
Yeah, so if he's healthy, fine.
But I'm just worried.
We've seen him play 35, 40% of the snaps.
That's a problem for fantasy.
And again, it's an offense
that is not good right now at all.
All right, so we know that Jameer Gibbs
and the Bijan Robinsons and all those guys,
you're not sitting with those guys.
But who are the guys who are that, you know,
you may have three or four receivers who are must starts in your mind
in fantasy football right now for that kind of secondary player?
Who's a must start?
Yeah, look, it always comes down to your individual roster, right?
You can be in an eight or 10 team league
and have players that you can sit.
But, you know, like the I look at the Packers receivers.
A lot of people are worried about them
this week against Minnesota's defense.
I don't care.
They have proven to me all year.
They faced Minnesota in week one.
Jordan Love had over 300 passing yards, two touchdowns.
Christian Watson, an 82-yard reception.
I think people were worried about his injuries coming into the year.
He was a guy that I drafted a lot in round five.
And Matthew Golden.
He's been fantastic.
He's been one of the best values in fantasy this year.
He might be the best value pick because he was going to round nine,
around 10, and he's a top 12 wide receiver right now.
Every week, top 10.
So, I mean, those guys are a must start.
Look, the thing is, when you get...
When you get past the top running backs and even receivers,
you can make a case for sitting anyone.
Like Ashton Gentry right now, you don't feel good about him.
He's done nothing on the ground,
but he's getting it done in the passing game.
He's catching a lot of passes and he
does score a touchdown once in a while,
but we don't know if he's going to catch the ball with Mendoza.
So now it's even more of a question mark.
But the problem is there's questions everywhere.
There's so many offenses right now
that we talked about the quarterbacks.
In experienced quarterbacks, you need to have studs this year to win.
Like, you need the Jameer Gibbs,
the Brock Bowers, the Watson, the Goldens.
If you have two to three of those players this year,
it might be enough to win a championship.
Obviously, two.
I don't know if you realize this,
but there are four top 10 wide receivers that are on the same teams.
You got the...
Tee Higgins and Jamar Chase and Golden and Christian Watson.
That's right.
So if you have those stacks, you have the Burrow, Chase, Higgins,
or Jordan Love, who is very cheap.
It might have been picked up off the waiver wire
unless you start one quarterback.
Those are going to make a big difference.
The Burrow is fantastic because he does have two unbelievable weapons.
I mean, you know, and then they go off.
You never know what day.
Maybe this week it's Chase.
Maybe next week it's Higgins.
I mean, they don't normally go off together,
but for whatever reason, he knows the hot hand.
He knows who he feels comfortable with.
I guess that's due to who they're facing defensively.
But when he starts feeding you, he feeds you.
And he is on fire right now,
and they have a very favorable schedule down the stretch.
They have a chance to win the division,
maybe even potentially be the one seed.
The reason why they're not running the football well.
You know,
Chase Brown has been probably one of the biggest disappointments.
I would actually buy low on him.
So when you are buying low,
it's supposed to be uncomfortable,
right?
When you're,
of course you're like,
I don't know.
Should I do this?
There's a reason why someone is giving you a player.
Chase Brown has one touchdown.
It came in week one,
but you're giving me a running back that has 15 to 18 touches.
And one of the elite offenses.
Those touchdowns usually eventually come.
So, like, to me, he's a good buy low
because everyone is disappointed in him right now.
And I think those touchdowns will evolve down the stretch.
I want a player in an elite offense that's getting touches.
That is Chase Brown.
Again, Michael Eugene,
wire is depleted, starting per set for now,
trying to trade for a quarterback.
I have Cook, Chase Brown, Coleman, as we talked about,
Mason from the Vikings,
Dowdle from the Steelers,
Who would you trade for of that group?
Yeah, Jordan Love would be the guy clearly for me.
I mean, they, the thing about Jordan Love.
So before this year, he was at 450 pass attempts or fewer,
two straight years, both years, 15 games.
Because what did they do?
They relied on Jacobs.
They were a run first team.
The year that Jordan Love had a great year,
he had 32 passing touchdowns.
He had 570 pass attempts.
He's on pace to shatter that.
Jordan Love's a good quarterback.
They just didn't let him throw.
He has the weapons with Christian Watson, Golden, and Tucker Craft.
And even when Jacobs comes back,
he was not doing anything on the ground.
They can't run the football.
But he was getting it done in the passing game.
So Jordan Love's the guy to get there.
His choice was Love, Cousins, Geno, or Mahomes.
And you're saying Love.
Yeah, definitely.
Can I tell you something?
Again, we talked about the NFC North.
That pack of team, they'll have a little flaw.
Like the Packers, you worry about their running game,
especially as we get closer.
Same thing with the, you're looking at the Lions,
you worry a little bit about their defense
because the defense is so important.
They have a hole there.
We talked about the Vikings.
Their offense is nowhere close to their defense.
But I think the most well-rounded team in that North is the Bears.
Yeah.
The Jeffrey Simmons trade was immense.
That one player in the middle just changes things.
It's tough to run on them.
It frees up the edges for the pass rush.
And Ben Johnson's a hell of a coach.
I mean, what he's done with Caleb Williams,
and I know Caleb Williams had four interceptions before their bye.
I understand.
The thing is, when you're rolling so well like Caleb Williams,
he thinks he can make every throw.
And I liked his interview after the game.
You know, he realized it.
So many weapons, Luther Burden, Romo Dunze, Colston Loveland.
And a very good backfield.
DeAndre Swift.
And they're going to get Kyle Menungai back after the bye.
Actually, that's a team that I would buy anybody on that team.
They have a great schedule.
They're obviously competing for the one seed.
There's no resting.
I would buy any of those Bears players,
even if it costs me a lot, because I trust that
offense.
Okay.
It's a trade deadline coming up and you know,
you need,
I'm not going to say needs right now in terms of that,
but what is the one player if you could get in a trade,
no matter who you have to trade,
but that one guy you really want
to get right now to add to your team that
you know,
is realistically able to,
no one's trading Gibbs.
Yeah.
Robinson.
Yeah.
Who's realistic that you think are realistically,
I can go after this guy and get him and put me over the top.
I think you got to do it now.
It's Jordan Tyson from the Saints.
He had a,
Dominant training camp.
We heard nothing but positive reports.
Anyone who's followed college football
know history of injuries.
And he had the hamstring injury
that kept him out.
He returned last week.
Didn't play a ton of snaps.
He fumbled at the one yard line.
He was open consistently.
He was open in the back of the end zone
waving his hands.
Tyler Shuck didn't see him.
They're going to increase his routes
and snap count slowly.
But that's a team that's
another team cannot run the football.
They just have not been able to do it all year.
They're competing for the division in that terrible NFC South.
Someone's got to win it, but they're going to rely on Shaq.
He's got Chris Olave on the other side to take away attention,
but there were nothing
but positive reports that Jordan Tyson was dominating camp
and even reports last week in practice
the fastest he's looked all year.
So now is the time to get him before he has that big game,
and people are like, yeah, I don't want to give him away.
Now, on the flip side, if you've held Jordan Tyson this long,
You probably don't want to give him up, but you got to try.
And it depends.
You don't know where he stands.
It could be on a team that's out of it.
Right.
Four and six team, like a four and five team, a three and six team
that doesn't have time to wait for that snap count to elevate.
All right.
One minute to go.
We talked about this earlier.
Rams, they lost Puka.
They lost Adams.
Two young receivers.
Of that team, who was the receiver you would pick up from the Rams?
I really don't want any of them, to be honest,
but I would look at the tight ends instead.
I would look at Tyler Higbee and Colby Parkinson.
I think Terrence Ferguson would have been the guy,
but he hurt his hamstring again last week.
He would have had a huge impact.
But they're going to run the football a lot.
If you have Kyron Williams and Blake Corum,
you're happy right now.
Because remember, Matthew Stafford is also playing
with a bad elbow, and it's noticeable.
He's not throwing the ball well.
If you're picking one of those guys up, I'd say
Kanata Mumfield, but I don't feel good about it.
So you don't like either him or Atwell?
No, I don't think either guy is going to be impactful
in fantasy. It's going to be the tight ends and the running backs.
So I made a mistake picking up Atwell. Not a mistake.
You have to take a chance. I knew it.
I got to drop him tomorrow. You take a chance.
Put him on the bench. Adam.
What about this guy?
There you go.
I got a golden arm.
Unfortunately, it's 100 years old.
Adam, as always, thank you so much.
Everybody, I hope you listened.
You want a chance to win your league?
Adam's the man.
And Adam, where can they find you?
