Speaker 1 (00:00):
Waiver claims have to be made, and I've got trade
proposals fly in my way. My first round pig turned
out to be a big flop. I don't know which
(00:21):
wide receiver I need to drive, Doctor roto give me
the news. I really don't know what I should do.
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad case
of fair deceived blues.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
With it.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
It is the fastest thirty beutees of major market radio,
the one the only Doctor roto here on Sports Talk
seven ninety congratulation, Doctor Rode. The NFL worried about you
fantasy gurus out there. They just find the rams hundred
thousand dollars for not telling the truth about Lamar Jackson's
injury status last week.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, I mean it was kind of ridiculous. Then everybody
in their fantasy leagues thinks he was starting in all
of us in the last second. Now we're gonna see
a little less Snoopuntley. So look, they should be telling players.
The NBA is even worse. You know that MT it's
like five minutes before starting, you're like, oh, he's not playing.
That's ridiculous. There's a lot, you know, with the DraftKings
(01:26):
and fan duel and the gambling component. Now this information
is even more critical, and I think all these leagues
need to do a better job of getting it out there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
All right, I want to start with the local game
here because I'm very curious about what to do with
a variety of things. First and foremost, the Texans defense
really quashed everything that San Francisco did last week, which
says I because McCaffrey was having a good season and
mac Jones was doing all right for himself. You've got
this return of Nicocollins, and you've got Christian Kirk and
(01:56):
I think you know Dalton Schultz did practice today, so
you got a spot there. How are you sizing up
who plays and who sits on both sides? Because this
one could be on paper it feels like a very
low scoring football game coming.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Up, and Las Vegas agrees with you. I mean, right now,
this game is like a forty total. Here's the problem.
We know when CJ. Stroud has time to throw, he's
really effective. And the forty nine ers without Bosa, without
Fred Warner, they don't have a pass rush. But now
you got Denver. Denver has a pass rush even though
they don't have Patrick Sartan. I think that Stroud is
(02:28):
going to be under siege, and because of that, I worry, Right,
I just don't know whether this is one of those
weeks where this game explodes. On the other side, Texas
defense has been tremendous, so I really feel like this game.
I think Vegas has it right. Maybe it's twenty one twenty.
Am I going to start Stroud? Not if I can
help it. Nick Woody Mars has an injured calf, as
(02:50):
we know, I think he's very questionable. I mean, when
I start Nick Chubb maybe against his Broncos defense, I
think Dalton Schultz is gonna play. I think Nico Collins
is obviously in play outside of Collins and schulso I'll
stay away. On the other side, I mean, I know RJ.
Parvey had a tremendous week. I'm not going back there.
Maybe Courtland Sutton, but I just don't think this is
(03:11):
the game that I want to be starting for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
All right, Well, take your questions and come ins for
Doctor Rodo in the next segment of the show at
seven one three, two, one two five seven ninety seven
to one to three two one two five seven ninety.
Let's get right to the marquee matchup of the weekend.
And while the Texans Broncos may be a little scoring affair,
uh fifty two and a half actually feels kind of
low in the Chiefs and Bills. What is your sense
of that after Vegas gave up that line.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yeah, Vegas was like, hello, there's gonna be points here,
and they will. So first of all, I think what
happens is Josh Allen has those great games when he
gets pushed. She's obviously going to be pushed. He wasn't
pushed last week against Carolina when James Cook ran for
a million yards. The thing is Chiefs are not very
good against mobile quarterbacks, but the Chiefs are good at
stopping the run. So I think this makes it not
(03:57):
a James Cook week, but it is ash out in
a week. I don't think I really love any of
his receivers. I would start Dalton Kincaid, I'm okay with Shakir,
but the rest of them I would stay away from.
On the other side, you're absolutely starting Mahomes, but Cheko
is likely not going to go. I think Kareem Hunt
is in play. You know, Buffalo's run defense is not
very good. Rashi Rice is always in play. I mean,
(04:19):
this guy is special and now we're seeing it more
than ever. And I think Kelsey is in play as well.
So I think the quarterbacks are sensational if you have them.
I think Mahome is going to run for forty yards
as well. I mean, Buffalo's run defense is not bad,
but it's some homes. It's Rice, it's Hunt, it's Kelsey.
On the other side, it's Allen for sure. King kaid,
(04:40):
you could start cook because you might not have better options.
But Chiefs run defense is very good, all right.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
The Colts are the surprise of the league this year
at seven and one. I don't think anybody's thinking they're
going to go sixteen in one and on. This is
a trap because they've had so many blowouts this year.
But could the Colts from a scale position wise, have
trouble at Pittsburgh this Sunday.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
I like where you're going with the trap, MT I do.
I mean Steelers were not good last week, and all
of a sudden, the Colts have been great. It feels
like a game where, oh, the Colts are gonna win.
This is an easy one. It's never easy in the NFL.
I think Aaron Rodgers has a great week this week,
I do. I think Dk Metcalf has a great week.
Chalen Warren is in play. I think even John hus
Smith is in play. Why are they gonna play? Even
(05:21):
if the Colts win? The Colts usually let up in
the fourth quarter, so you get a lot of garbage
time production. Look at Jamry dk last week, who had
sixteen Fantasy points for the Titans. So I think all
those guys are playable for the Colts. Daniel Jones, get
him in your lineups, Jonathan Taylor, get him in your lineups.
And I'm gonna give you a surprising guy, Alec Pierce.
(05:42):
I know, I know, ridiculous, right, yeah, But Pittsburgh Blitz
is a lot Pierce. When they go to the Blitz,
they look for him. So I'm fine with Pittman, I'm
fine with Downs, I'm fine with Tyler Warren. But if
you're looking for a sneaky play of the week, Alec
Pierce might be your guy. All right?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Can the Niners bounce back at New York? It's two
trips east significantly distance. Isn't this one going to the Giants?
Giants feel a little Bit Snake Bit after their performances
in the last couple of weeks, Will mac Jones and
company get back on track at New York this Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, I think they win. But I mean Vegas has
this as a forty eight and a half spot, and
I kind of agree. I think Jackson Dart, Jackson Dart
has been sensational. And you know what makes Jackson Dart
even more interesting now you don't have Scataboo there anymore.
Tyrone Tracy tends to fumble by the goal line, so
Dabe doesn't like to use him. I can see Jackson
Dart running in a touchdown easily. Wondale Robson, I think
is certainly in play because the forty nine ers not
(06:35):
good against slot receivers. Look what Jaalen Nole did last week.
So I think Wandale's in play. So and Tyrone Tracy
is going to be the new starting running back to
the Giants. So you have Wandale, Dart and Tracy for
the Giants. On the other side, McCaffrey janim into your
lineup as this guy in I also like Juwan Jennings
a ton and you know, let's start with those guys
(06:56):
kittles always in play. But the Giants do have a
very good defense line, so they may need to have
him block a little bit more. But I love Jennings
and I love McCaffery.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I don't know about you, but I find myself now
that I've got Drake May firmly in trench of my
starting lineup. He gets off sometimes with some slow starts,
and then I look mid third quarter, mid fourth he's
got twenty three or twenty four Fantasy points. You anticipate
that kind of run this week against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I do I really like Drake mayna sleep. So here's
a couple of things we know want. Ramandra Stevenson is out.
They confirm that too. Falcons is the best team in
the NFL against the post and tight ends. So this
doesn't feel like a Hunter Henry or Austin Hooper week,
even the Austin Hooper revenge. Now there, if you believe
in that Travon Henderson Mike Vrabel hates this guy, now,
(07:39):
you would think that Henderson should have a good week here, right,
I would think that too, But I just don't see that.
So what do I see? I see Drake May throwing
a dig I see Drake May throwing a boute. I
think Drake May throwing a de Mario Douglas. I think
Drake May is a great start this week.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
All right, U Cowboys score, that's no problem with that,
but they're deep horrific. If I've got anybody on the Cardinals,
do I give him a shot in Dallas this weekend
because that Dallas defense is so porous.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yeah. Look, we're going to start four guys. I don't
feel great about Kyler, so with you, you're starting May over Kyler.
I don't care if it's Cowboys, don't care. Secondly, Bam
Knight is likely going to be the start of their
Dallas can't stop to run. So if you're desperate, which
some people might be with four teams on buy, you
can start him. I love Marvin Harrison Junior this week.
I love him, but I mean he's dependent on Kyler.
(08:31):
As Kyler goes, Marvin goes. That's the scary thing. But
I love Marvin Harrison, and of course we love Trey McBride.
So McBride and Harrison are locks and lineups. Dam Knight
if you need him all.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Right time Now for the obligatory Sports RV Question of
the week.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm glad he brought up Bam Knight because I'm starting.
Don't laugh too hard. I'm starting Bam Knight and Woody
Marks if he's available this week, Doctor Roto. It's rough
going right now, but anyways, I'm also starting the Texans defense.
Just your thoughts on them this week and maybe some
options you think that aren't normally good defense this is,
but are good streaming options this week?
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, I mean I think, look, the Texans defense is
pretty dune good and this division is not. I mean,
is it done well, it's getting close to being done.
But I think the Texans get into the playoffs because
of that defense. So certainly, you know, bo Nicks can
make some mistakes. I think they're a good start. Please
get it, go, get the Rams, Go get the Rams
right now, Tyler Shuck, are you kidding me? I mean
(09:23):
this could be a nightmare. So the Rams feel like
a team that's going to put up I don't know,
twelve to fourteen points this week, and they were run
by last week, so a lot of people might have
dropped them. So right now, the Rams and the Jaguars
are the two teams that I'm looking at defensively, the
Jaguar has been very aggressive and the Jaguars are hanging
on to a playoff spot as well, So I think
(09:43):
those are two teams that you can get those defenses
on the cheap.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
All right, time now for your question seven one three two,
one two five seven ninety seven to one three two,
one two, five seven nine zero. I love your analysis
because I just picked up the Jacksonville defense for this week,
So thank you very much. Talking rode over for that
if we pay him for the Big Byte
Waiver claims have to be made, and I've got trade
proposals fly in my way. My first round pig turned
out to be a big flop. I don't know which
(00:21):
wide receiver I need to drive, Doctor roto give me

is a lot Pierce. When they go to the Blitz,
