That is that Apple
that apple is the Patriots offense.
It's so it's strike after grunts the harm on apples from
Citi Field it is but I'm just saying like it is it's
a disaster. Apple is what it is and
it is embodiment to bring it back to a football
of what the Patriots offense looked like yesterday.
Brutal Mac Jones did not get it done Bailey's. A p comes into
your point throws a touchdown. Pass it counts as a touchdown
pass it was
a little bit of a duck. Yes but as we're talking about it was
a worst. There are that touchdown Past and Mac Jones is
interception, which was also really bad. Yeah interesting
word from Bill. Belichick to roll out the Friday Night
Lights
season 3 through quarterback off. Hence Matt saracen JD
McCoy. Yeah Big Mac. Jones is a bit Matt saracen about him and
then ultimately like we don't really know what's going to
happen with the situation.
It's very weird that the Patriots players didn't know
that they were going to switch quarterbacks. And I don't think
after this, you know, after the game is just like, oh, you
know, and
you know, a Joe Buck and Troy Aikman mention of the broadcast
always planning on doing this. Whether they were trying to
cover for him or they actually told them that but the fact,
yes, you going Myers other players after the games. Hey,
did you know this was happening? No, no not at all.
Now fantasy was, what do we do with the situation? Do you
think zappy has a higher ceiling and can unlock some
more DeVante Parker and Jacoby Myers
to the eye test? It feels a little bit more aggressive than
he's a little bit more aggressive, which can be good,
which can also be bad. I don't know that there's a massive
difference here for our purposes because if you are
starting one, if you're like in a deep to quarterback League or
superflex League where you were starting one of them,
you can start the other one.
Like, I don't know. That one is going to be fantasy relevant
and significant way that the other one wouldn't be
both are either or is a low-end qb2 against the Jets this week.
But there's now the threat that one of them might get pulled
because yeah. If they're, if they're, if he's going to
college style and is playing two quarterbacks,
you just don't know what's going to happen.
Been here,
and we can talk a little bit more.
I don't know that there's much to say about,
you know, you're starting, remind Ray Stevenson every
week, you're starting,
you know, Jacoby Myers every week, and then I think you're
it sort of depends on your roster as, for whether Damien
Harris or DeVante, Parker get a
get a real chance here. So, I mean, I don't know that there's
much to take away from the Patriots offense. I think it
sort of is as it is, I was disappointed by the Harris. You
suggested a Stevenson was amazing.
We talked about, you know, on the, on the bed of GM social
promo, we said, give me the over on
two-and-a-half receptions for Ronde Stevenson, right? And and
that and of caching. So
one of the few one of them here, witness one of the few
winners tonight. We had a tough night and we all took the
hunters and wasn't a tough night. For Justin Fields, who,
finally broke out. He gave us the game that I think that
people are drafted him. We're expecting going into the season
and he mostly did it on the ground with those 82
rushing yards and the touchdown hee
hee. Now had three straight weeks with 17 and more fantasy
points back to back weeks with at least 18 fantasy points. He
ends week 7
as the 5th best quarterback in fantasy.
You think about their upcoming schedule. Cowboys bears.
That can't be right. Actually, he's not going to play his own
team but
so my note here is wrong. I apologize for that
Cowboys Dolphins, Lions attended, and Falcons are
the next three. So
so, You know, none of those defenses scare you from a can
they stop Justin Fields running? Like, actually think
Dallas even though that's a really good defense,
might be good for Justin Fields running around
and you know watching Michael Parsons try to chase them all
over the field.
80 yards, rushing back to back games with 80 or more yards
rushing in this one.
Why don't we do this real quickly? Because it's I thought
two things.
Number one is, I think that's the best game. I've seen Justin
Fields play from start to finish. I get fantasy. You just
look good.
Just looked good out there, he ran the offense, they had some
designed runs for him as well, which I think was important
here,
you know, I think almost twenty eight percent of his rushes
in last night's game were designed runs.
So
that's exciting as well for me, and right. Like
they
asses as well as you see it here on your screen. Like, you
know,
12 rushing attempts and week seven after 21 and weeks, 1
through 6
combined, these are
Signed runs as you see it there on the top of your screen.
12 designed runs
from last night. That's exciting to me
Jake Croucher. So why don't
back in my old stomping grounds. Yes,
we used to do a thing called The Name Game, and then it went
away. I invented this thing, Dame game, people would send in
really fun
sort of drops that we would play. And then it just sort of
went away. I don't know the,
the fun got sucked out of a lot of stuff there at my old place.
And so anyway, for whatever reason, whatever reason
we went away, From the name game. So it's kind of out there
and I invented it. So screw it, I'm bringing it back,
let's do it over here and, you know,
so anyway, so let's do a quick name game here, by the way, in
any fantasy from free game,
listeners out there that want to, you know, do their own
home, edit for a name game that, remember me from the 0600
name game
by all means, please, please send it in.
You can tag us on social media anyway. So quick question. Rest
the season, do you want Justin Fields,
Tom? Brady, I'm still taking some Eddie. It's but it's
a little closer than you would have expected. Certainly two
weeks ago, but I think with Godwin and Evans back,
I still think the Brady, the throwing a lot more even if
they're not throwing effectively, I'm still taking
Tom Brady. But here's the more interesting one for me which
I love Justin fields
or the back-to-back MVP, Aaron Rodgers.
I'd rather have Justin Fields Mesa and I actually don't think
it's that close not close. Yeah, much rather have Justin
Fields,
I mean, it is what it is. I think Justin Fields is
a borderline you know, qb1 the rest of the way. I mean I think
he's a, you know, in that 10 to Range. How about
my guide? My preseason guy, Kirk Cousins
or Justin field? That's close. Because I'd rather have cousins
over Rogers, and I think that's neck-and-neck cousins and
Fields, but I think I would lay in fields just because of
the rushing upside and what he's shown. But I think that that's,
that's neck and neck.
That one's. Yeah, that one's neck and neck as well for me,
I think it probably prefer the floor of cousins. I think it
would depend on what I need like my knees up side. It's
Fields, but I think the floor of cousins that
makes sense In fairness. I haven't checked the schedule
Sammy Prime Time games Viking lost. I don't think Yeah, last
yeah, go ahead, our call.
Justin fields that have General
Stafford. That's an easy, I'd rather have Justice build
Fields as well. I'd rather just in fields. I mean, Derek Carr
is always doing his hand off to Josh Jacobs and Stafford's.
Look, brutal, Stafford's look, brutal. So again I think just
to give you a range of sort of where we think Justin Fields is
of the list. We just
said, I prefer Brady to him and cousins, barely to him, but
otherwise, yes, over Rogers over car
over Stafford. Let's talk now Jay about these running backs
here, James Montgomery, and Khalil Herbert. I took the over
on on ten-and-a-half, receiving yards for David Montgomery.
A number that he's hit.
Every game this year except the one in which I predicted, he
would do that, Khalil, who stole his zeros cash, stole his
touchdown but I made the surprising thing. Is that both
had fantasy relevant games? Both got in the end zone.
Montgomery has the slight bulk of the rushing attempts
Herbert. As you typically is is more efficient with his own
attempts, but I mean, the thing is that we've always been
talking about how it's ridiculous that the Bears don't
pass more because they bad offense and why
are they passing? Well if they're going to run the ball
like this and then you add fields in his 14 Russians.
Temps by 82 yards as well, then they could be fantasy relevance
across the board. So what your fantasy buffet and Chicago 243
rushing yards, that's
the second most, the Bears have done
this season. You know, when you think about Montgomery,
Herbert, and as you mentioned, Justin Fields. Look, that's
a recipe for the Bears to have success, right? Play. Good
defense
and run the hell out of the ball with those three guys with
Fields Herbert. And Montgomery, maybe they will continue to do
this. This is an impressive win by the Bears, right? I mean,
like, they had 10 days. They came up the minibar,
A bad loss to my commanders at home.
The Bears were at home
and then they you know they go on the road to New England and
they take I mean this game wasn't close, this game wasn't
close, they got a little bit of a spark when Bailey's a pee
came in but honestly the Bears dominant from start to finish.
Congratulations to everyone in Chicago.
I think the rest of the way
unfortunately. Like you saw there on the screen
40 snaps for David Montgomery. 29 for Herbert, I think you're
going to still have to until we all prefer cologne Herbert. We
all think he's the better running back
by but we all does not
Include head coach Matty brief lose. So as long as they
continue to insist on playing Montgomery more than Herbert,
I think you have to continue to play them that way.
I think Montgomery remains an rb2 in Herbert
a flex play with massive upside. If anything were to
happen, injury-wise
to David Montgomery for the first time this season, he
played less than 60% of the offense of snaps David
Montgomery. So maybe there is some hope
for those of us who carry the flag for Khalil Herbert.
Yes. And I do think that there is
there is an upside
To be able to start both of them each week. Just because
they're it's a kind of an Arthur Smith light situation
where even when they're down as they were against the Packers
in week 2, on Sunday Night Football, they're still running
the ball. They're not going to have Fields throw at 50 times
Fields is going to put on his Matt Ryan,
Hart and just unleash Vikram, pass attempts. They're going to
keep running the ball. Now, before we get into wrote about
headlines just quickly, remind Ray Stevenson Damien Harris.
I think it's just you're not worried about Ramon Ray
Stevenson, he was still able to put up big numbers mainly in
the passing
game game script got out of hand but when
Damien Harris is he basically just
stash of this point. Hope that worm Andre goes down,
you know, it was his first game back and then game script out of
hand, you know, and so like he
they prefer Ramon Ray Stevenson in passing Downs, right?
I mean, he was used on every through dumpling this is
Stevenson,
right?
So I, I think that this is,
I'm not ready to throw the towel in on Damien Harris.
Like, I was in the preseason. I was like, it's Ramon Ray
Stevens season. Yes. Now like I was
I was just like I prefer Stevenson, even though Harris
is going higher in a teepee? I prefer Stevenson. I think he's
the better running back to more complete back.
I've been team Roma and re
all along. Having said that, I'm not ready to say, okay?
Damien Harris has no use. I again, game script, gotta hand.
And so, they prefer Stevenson in the passing downs,
but
I'm hanging onto Harris this week. I will say, though,
Damien Harris likely on the hate list this week against
the New York Jets.
I do think Raymond Ray Stevenson is sort of match up.
Oof the suddenly a lace defense, all of out. New York
Jets are but I mean. Harris. Harris is still like Harris, is
a touched on dependent high-end Flex? Yep, that's what he is.
Not my son.
