your back here again, let's flu roads today. But we're still
here with the Atlanta Hawks Gap in place. Let's start with
DeAndre Swift, who was thought of the Season, incredibly
didn't earn much lost weight coming off the injury.
Keeping it open or closing it out on DeAndre Swift against
the Bears where we drafted, DeAndre Swift that, and what we
expected him to do, I'm closing it, imma leave a good tip, but
I'm close.
If, if I got Jamal Williams ranked a little bit ahead of
D'Andre Swift, I got to close it. If I'm expecting some top
five type stuff, no, I got to close it out that five touches
last
week and more importantly, the 24 carries
for 81 yards by Jamal Williams
that scared me.
I guess the understood guy, get a little healthier look, you
see it there even. Justin Jackson was playing over
DeAndre Swift Last Week. Man,
that is scary time right there.
I got to close it. But like I said, the tip going to be good,
baby.
Yeah, you know, I'm Here. I think it sort of depends on
your options, right? I mean, the other say, I rank them at
25, right?
I'm I'm more with Lawrence than not like it depends on sort of
what you need, like he is. Yeah, he is as high-risk
high-reward
volume as you get, hopefully, we get more knowledge about his
health situation. But look, he in week nine, he played 16
percent of the snaps,
his last three games combined he's had 25 touches.
Averaging nine point, nine fantasy points per game,
he's had one game this year. One game this entire
Year where he's had more than ton touches and that was week one.
And so far this year,
to Lawrence his point about Jamal Williams,
DeAndre Swift has two count em two touches inside the 10-yard
line,
his 0 goal to go carry. So like when they get in close, it goes
to Jamal Williams. So
you know, Craig Reynolds got hurt and I came but honestly
the the truth of the matter is is that he is a very risky
Flex. I would agree. I would say close it out. If you have
potentially a better option, until we see
the guy, we drafted back,
Out there. We just haven't seen it. You don't mean like he
scored, you know, whatever two games ago because they got him
on a quick slant but it's like he still wasn't getting like so
you didn't mind because you got the touchdown but like he's not
getting the usage. Yeah, I think it's like if you went
Mixon Swift at the turn,
if you draw after mixing on by this week, and I'm sure some
people did that, then maybe it's starting to address with,
but if you can avoid it, you don't want it. I have the Andre
Swift. I mean, I've Jamaal Williams rank higher. Yep. Then
DeAndre Swift this year and it's, you know, it's a
middle of the pack matchup on the Out of Chicago. Yep, okay.
Let's jump through Aaron Jones, who if he was fully healthy,
obviously, a naturally starting, but he did leave
the game with the ankle against the troit report has been from Adam
schefter that he should
be able to play this week. X-ray results were negative.
Keeping it open or closing. I'm keeping it out, I'm keeping it
open. I should say keeping it open, like you last week was
just a bad game all around for the Packers offense. But you
think about week seven and eight? This guy was
the sixth best running back in fantasy was averaging. 24.2
fantasy points per game,
More touches in six of the last seven games. I mean, like,
you know, you're nervous about a.j. Dylan's workload, but
I feel like if Aaron Jones is healthy enough to be out there,
the Packers one of the most conservative medical staffs in
the NFL. So, if Aaron Jones is active, he should be, you know,
good to go. I'm at running back 12 this week, I'm keeping it
open on Aaron Jones, right? This is going to be wide open
for me.
Like you said, you're buying shots for everyone of the park
everybody but oh
yeah. Yeah, yeah. Lauren just a little
Um,
I see in this is different from Swift and Jamaal Williams
because
Aaron Jones is at this point. He's all they got right now.
Yeah, he is all they have. And like, you mentioned the two
weeks prior to the Doug game. He was just starting to get
back into his rhythm. So
and he even said he wanted to go back into the game.
The Packers was just
precautious about it. So
if he plays, he's got to be in your lineups. Yeah, let's jump
to Raheem the Dream. So I feel bad Matthew because he's
a friend of the show. Yeah and don't literally mean, let's
just be clear about this. Jay
Croucher, he was, Rahim must start. He came on the show, you
browbeat him, you
know, brow,
brow beat him. This is a pretty big guy who can do what he
wants guilted him and he was on the he was on TVs, trying to be
nice.
You browbeat him and guilted him into agreeing that you're
not as good nickname or him. The dream was what he should go
with. And ever said I'm just saying like listen I'm not
saying it's cause and effect. T', I'm merely pointing out
these two facts
that after he did the interview
with us, and you declared him Raheem the Dream,
Jeff Wilson. Junior shows up and takes and takes over that back,
boys. I'm just, I'm just
like, facts are facts, like
all. That is a true statement is one. The cause of the other.
Who knows Jake, who's to say, some people are saying, not me,
but some people are saying you are to blame for the decline in
Rahim most Arts fantasy value out. Listen, listen here.
Matthew Berry it's your name on the show and Rahim The
Dream, Most that he isn't
For remember that 15 minutes after he got off the fantasy
football? Happy out with Matthew Berry, they trade it
for a guy
who's cutting his carries in half.
So why are you interested? We'll start with you.
Are you keeping it open or closing it out on Rahim? Most
that with Jeff Wilson in town? They play Cleveland this
weekend's.
I got to I got to keep that open. Yes, but it's like I'm
keeping it open for both of them.
The offense is too explosive not to
with Tyree Hill and Jana waddle out there. Oh Opening
everything up into a. You saw it. They both saw
a similar amount of touches it was Jeff and they both scored
a touchdown, Jeff Wilson through the receiving game,
they were he motion on the ground, it's just going to be
like if you have one of the other guy you just hoping that
your guys the one who scores. So I'll leave that open
a little bit.
Yeah, I'm going to leave it open as well. I just look this the
I don't know what it is
as of this morning, but it opened at 48 and a half. We
think one of the higher scoring game. On the Slate to Lawrence
is point. It's just such an explosive offense. I want more
of the Dolphins offense, not less both of these guys, even
though Jeff Wilson jr. Had more
more touches in this game. The fact of the matter is re most
it still had doubled to touch it. Still scored a touchdown
last week against the Bears and so like, is he a top-20 guy?
No, I haven't 24 this week but he's a viable Flex.
He absolutely is. I'm going to keep it open on Rahim
must start. Yeah, not the jury, not the dream,
he's right the trailer
because I'm Irish thoughts were. Hey, most that again? He
likes me. Yeah, I'm back on the show. Like,
voicemail with Ramos guy. Yeah, I feel like we're contractually
obligated but in a good way to be positive on Ramos because
he's such a good guy. He did such as any was on with us.
Yeah, I agree. And the Dolphins point, I think they're the best
offense in the lake. Honestly, I would have them above Kansas
City. I think they have a ceiling that. I mean, we saw
how Kansas City struggled against the Titans, the move
the ball. I just think that the Dolphins are unstoppable. Let's
go to a team that is
less Unstoppable, but it's been a surprising offense
and that's the Atlanta Falcons who played.
Mauro nice and
Primetime. Yeah, used to be my team, the rise up. Yeah,
eyes off Atlanta Falcons,
still very much in the mix for the
Magnificent. NFC South,
let's talk Tyler as you
step below, rise up like crawl up like you know like Stand
Down, Stand Down, Stand Down, stand down and
throw the bowl.
Yes, I hire you know, raise yourself.
All right, so yeah, what are we doing with this running back
situation here? And we'll start with, I think you're obviously
starting Cordarrelle Patterson here but boom. But right so
see, Pat comes back here.
Lawrence you watch this team very closely? What are we doing
with Tyler out here? I can't start Tyler out here this week.
Now, to Cordarrelle Patterson is back. They got them back in
there, he got the goal line Touches at the
in week nine. He made, he made do with that. Got the two
touchdowns. They're not Tyler algier did Rush for 99 yards
but How
many times I could expect him to have gained 244 yards
in a single game. Like, I don't expect that to continue
Cordarrelle, Patterson, got back and he was back like he
never left. So I got to close it on my boy, Tyler IG R, but
I appreciate what you've done. While Patterson was a way that
55% of his yards did come on to plays last week. So you look at
the 99 yards or the over 100 yards from
scrimmage and like that's pretty good. But like he had
two big plays in this game all that said, double to
the carries and seven of Eight games played so far this year.
You love the matchup against the Carolina Panthers
who are 24th against the run.
Over the last four weeks,
they're coming off of a short week in which they just gave up
five touchdowns to a running back here. So also they
couldn't run the ball at all until they got that until they
got that matchup. And so
again, what are they going to do? Let Marcus Mariota throw it
they don't want Cordarrelle Patterson to have a full
workload, whether it's because they're trying to manage his
reps or because
they just like a committee here. So I do think.
Let me put it this way.
I'm with Lawrence in the grand scheme which is like ideally,
you're not starting Tyler algier. Hopefully your season
is gone better or well and you know that you're not in
the Tyler lgo range, but if Tyler Algiers on your roster just
means things have
gone wrong and so you're sitting there like uh
so yes, do I think he could be,
you know, a
close your eyes and squint and pray Flex usable. Flex this
week, I do against Carolina Panthers because I do think he
probably gets
10 to 12 touches in a good matchup. Yeah. Kayla cousins
rate,
they got Caleb Huntley there as well, but it does feel like
there's a clear sort of pecking order that it's Patterson a.
Yeah. That's
right. So again like it's a run-heavy offense that has
despite
you know all evidence to the contrary like they have been
able to effectively run the ball. Yeah I mean I give
credit where credit is due.
They've been able to effectively run the ball. They
use multiple running backs. It's a good match up the games
in Carolina
so I think they're going to want to
you know, run even more.
Yes, I think technology, I'm keeping it open up
with this caveat. Like if you've been starting, Tyler out
here, if your, if your season has gone that poorly. Yeah.
Right, that you have to start tile out here like I do in our
14-team show. Legal team has just been
decimated by injuries then yes,
I'll be with ya.
Not overseas.
Come on,
let's go.
I'm not that drunk, but I'm just that's him saying. It's
like, do I think he could be usable this week? I do. Yeah,
I had a friend that I want you as well. Last week, I think it'll
be usable again.
Out of friend than a WhatsApp group thread refer to
Cordarrelle Patterson. Last night as cold Pat, I don't
think we need Cordarrelle Patterson on the show to say
that that nickname is know.
Lots of stuff in the thread,
talk about your movie set in Los Angeles. Okay, great. We
talked about sick while Hugh Jackman chat. I'm sure a lot of
Cannon Reeves. Yeah. Well he underwear. Yeah. Honorary.
Australian County report that came
bet. Bet. Bet ya
best places to get Vegemite. Yeah. Just everyone like trying
a double-edged. I'll Stand sales.
Exactly kangaroo sightings. Yeah.
No, it's totally like. Hey, when's the new mat work towards
coming? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Johnny Ray's on a kangaroo. Yep.
Like he'll die. All right. Let's stay on Thursday Night
Football. I noted the answer
Foreman who are after lighting the world on fire.
The couple weeks prior came back down to earth
against the Cincinnati. May worst like Falcons Panthers. Is
this going to be? I mean like we've had a couple of brutal
Thursday. You know
the definition of size that matters, we had the Commander's
Bears game. We had that Broncos Colts game both of which were
like,
like literally Like
Clockwork Orange, like you had to like, you know, keep your
eyes open, that kind of stuff. Do we think this Rivals
will do they, repeat what they did a couple weeks ago? Because
then in that case, that game was fantastic, right? Right?
Yeah. Oh yeah. Exactly with DJ more. But
you know, right - how can I be the best guy with the season?
Lloris is a Falcons fan? Do you think you guys deserve to win
that game?
This is this is the DJ more people. Yeah, we did
because they missed two field goals. Make the damn kicks. Yes.
Sometimes the fake them kicks.
Can you our miss the second kick
as well from like 30 yards. I think the Falcons deserve
I watched Super Bowl. 50 one. Falcons deserved to win
anything.
All right, fair enough. Fair enough.
I think to your point, I think that football it used to be
the definitional game was like one of the bad matchups in the AFC
South like Jags Titans when the
Titans were bad. But now, I think
that has been passed on to the NFC South. So this is the game
Falcons
against the Panthers and the answer for Mone, keeping it
open or closing it down.
The thing about the Falcons, actually, a pretty good run
defense. So the fit best run defense over the last month as
well. And so starting, I don't know.
Yeah, I mean
sure. The hobbits probably going to apply Hubbard's going
to play. He's the better pass catch. He was actually out
snapping formed before he got hurt in the game that they
played together. The first game without Christian. McCaffrey
here,
prior to last week though.
Over 70 touches in over 110 yards from scrimmage, in
back-to-back games. And last week, everything went wrong for
the Panthers. The games at home against the Falcons
Falcons, have just been a bad scoring defense even though
they've been good against the Run.
I'm going to can do it but I'm gonna do it, keep it open on
DeAndre Foreman begrudgingly. So,
Lawrence,
I was thinking about it, I think has a chance to get to
the end and that's what I would say. Like if you're telling me
a running back scores, a touchdown in this game and we
think that's likely
I'm going to say it's going to be down to a forum, and we
still like him old and true but just in general. Yeah, you know
that he go for 100 on her
honey yard. I mean anything's possible like he's a talented
guy, like he's got some, I don't know, it's an easy
comparison because he played for the Titans last year, but
he has some Derek.
And Rihanna which is like, it's two yards, two yards, three
yards 50.
You know, I mean like it's just
like that's what you have to do with the Auntie forming just
keep pounding them in the line and one of those he's going to
just bust through, you know, in the blocking is going to be
there because he has that ability in him and so
that's what you're sort of counting on ya with
de'aunte Foreman. So
yep. He's on his plus 120, anytime touchdown score on bed,
MGM they've said him at 57 and a half rushing out, so they
would probably say to start him. But there is some
uncertainty
or fish.
Yeah, so yeah, I was when I saw this I was thinking about chuba
Herbert coming back and I'm looking you know obviously
seven carries the last game game. Script got out of hand,
but the prior two games,
26, and 16 and 15 carries. Now
Trooper Hubbard comes back.
So you don't really expect Deonte for me to get 26 carries,
but he was too good against the Falcons in that game too. Just
like, I got to still believe in them in the Falcons. Yeah,
they've been playing good run defense.
But they are notorious for finding any type of way to
lose, you know. It they should have lost that game, you know.
So they thank you.
Maybe
they should have and I think they might get their get back
in this game, on the back and form of. So I'm leaving it
open, I got mercilessly, let's tie it with that guy, for one
mole flywheel of Lawrence, and we love you here for the
entire show. But you're really here, for this one question,
Kyle hiss open ocean.
This in the, I'm not a Are yards guy, right? But to see
that last.
Here's an idea. Let's go
to see, I see everybody packed trains. A big area. He's a big
hairy arms. Got shot out to pack her a. I'm seeing
everybody on Twitter, talk about 200 area artists or cop
picks. I had to watch this. Yeah, yeah. I had to see
those three overthrows like,
just in my head, it's like when you lose a bet, I don't think
about has five catches 185 yards and three damn touchdowns
and he didn't get it.
So you know what?
I take former had his best game and of the Season against
the Falcons. The Kyle pits had his best game against the Panthers.
I'm a running back for this particular matchup.
I'ma run it back, like you got hit. Make the throw Mario. Did
you make the throw down like them? I'm gonna keep it open as
well. Look, I'm going to tighten 11 so I mean like it's
certainly significantly lower than where we
drafted him. Everything like that. Yeah
but I'm still a borderline tied in one.
Last time he played the Carolina Panthers just a couple
of weeks ago. Right 85 for 80 and a Touchdown on nine
targets,
he was tight and three that week
this is a Carolina Panthers
defense at since week 6
is bottom eight in both pass defense and scoring defense and so
just given the like they're going to have to move the ball
somehow. And
the expectation here is that you prefer Kyle pits to Drake
London. So I'm going to begrudgingly
keep it open on. Yeah, that's a good word begrudgingly, perfect.
I let's go to break when we come back midseason fantasy.
Lots of finally got to hand out some Hardware to the great.
Jonathan Taylor is going to win an award, but it's not one you
want.
Oh,
