Dr Roto Joins With His NFL Week #5 Predictions

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got
trade proposals for lying my way. My first round pig
turned out to be a big flop. I don't know

(00:33):
which wide receiver I need to drive.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Doctor Roto give me the news. I really don't know
what I should do. My quarnerback keeps getting sacked. I've
got a bad case of fair deceive blue.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
It is the fastest thirty minutes and major markets or radio.
We bring to you the wildly respected Dr Roto on
Sports Talk seven ninety in our second decade, Doctor rode
O Howard things.

Speaker 4 (01:10):
Things are great, empty ready to go. As a tough
week really between bye weeks happen between the injuries, all
these injuries at running back especially, we just kind of
scrape through. But there are some players I really like
and I want to tell people about, so I'm looking
forward to it.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
All right, we'll take your phone calls in the next
segment of the show. If you want to get on
a waiting list, you may do so at seven one
three two one two five seven ninety seven one three
two one two five seven ninety First and foremost, we
don't ever like to I like to hold off on
the text and stuff. But since there's so many injuries
in his Baltimore situation, U first of all, who are
we playing on the skill position side for the Ravens.

(01:49):
Now that Lamar Jackson did not practice again today, the
perception is he's not going to play, And how does
that affect with all the defensive injuries that Ravens have
maybe thrown in a few extra Texans skill position play.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I think the Texans are really interesting this week?
Why not? I mean c J. Stroud interesting, Woody Marx,
we talked about Woody Marx finally right, he finally got
the football. Let's do more more Woody marks. Please love
Nico Collins. And my real favorite player of the week
is Dalton Schultz. The Ravens are epically bad against tight ends.

(02:22):
Schultz to me, really is the second target here. I
know Christian Kirk is evolving, but I mean this should
be a field day for Schultz where maybe sixty yards
and a touchdown. But you've got to think that the
Texans have a real good shot here against Baltimore with
Cooper rushing kind of a mess. Obviously going to start
Derrick Henry, You're obviously going to start Zay Flowers and
probably Mark Andrews. And that's it.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
All right, there you go on that. So have you
got Texans or Ravens players. That's what doctor Roto has you.
We've got a quarterback change in Cleveland. Should that help
them out this week on the road in London against Minnesota?

Speaker 4 (02:57):
No, but I think Joe Flock would have gotten killed two.
I mean just has no more mobility anymore. I think
he's best served as a guy who if there's an injury,
you can play him for three weeks. And that's about it.
Here's what we know about Dylan Gabriel. He's got a
really fast release, and he played at Oregon and he's
a you know, I mean, so he's he's been in
the big games before. But he's got a very quick

(03:17):
release and he's gonna need that quick release against Minnesota's
pass rush. So take a look. I mean, quin Shawn
Judkins is a must play. I don't care how good
the Vikings defense is. Judkins is a great player. Jerry
Judy's in play, David Joku's fine. Keep your eyes on
Isaiah Bond. I really believe had he not had all
that stuff with him in college, he probably would have

(03:38):
been a Round two pick, so they were able to
sign him pretty much after the draft was over as
an undrafted free agent. I think that he's going to emerge,
especially because Cedric Tillman is out with a hamstring injury.
They're gonna need a second receiver, and I think that
second receiver is bonded.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
All right, let's go to Cincinnati. They don't score touchdowns anymore.
So if I've and I do have T Higgins, Jamar Chase,
and there's plenty of positional players there for the Bengals
have used. How bad is that offensive situation there in
the Natty?

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Look? I think the only thing we have going for
us this week, if you have anybody on Cincinnati, is
that Detroit tends to get into high scoring games. Right,
Detroit's defense is better, but if they are, if they're
weak anywhere, it's in the secondary. Jake Browning is not
as bad as he's looked. He's just played two really
good defenses. I think they've got to figure out way

(04:32):
to get Chase involved. They have to figure out a
way to get T Higgins involved. Look, Zach Taylor. They
could go get Russell Wilson, they can go get guys.
He wants to stay with Jake Browning. He believes in him.
I think we've got to give Cincinnati one more week
this week. I just don't really like Chase Brown that
much because Detroit's run defense is very good. On the

(04:53):
other side, listen, Jamiir Gibbs, we know as a superstar,
we get that Amal Ross Saint Brown is in a
great spot. I think David Montgomery scores. He didn't do
it last week. It's one of those things where, oh
the guy disappointed me one week, but he plays better
the next. I think Montgomery scores this week. All right.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Kansas City put it together last week and their best
offensive performance against at Baltimore team. Can they do it
two weeks in a row Monday night at Jacksonville.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
I think they can. I think Xavier Worthy being back
is huge this way. You're using Hollywood Brown on Juju
Smith Schuster as needed, right, because you have your number
one guy, you have Travis Kelcey Mahomes. I think is
a great play this week if you have Mahomes. I
know that Jacksonville has done a good job of takeaways,
but I'm not really worried about that here. Mahomes is
too smart for that. Keep your eye and a guy

(05:38):
named Brishard Smith. Okay, Isaiah Pacheco is not good. Cream
Hunt is not good. Burchard Smith is getting more snaps,
and I think that's what you have to look at here.
So in week two he had five snaps, in week
three at eight last week against Baltimore nineteen, Right, what
does that tell you? Tells you that they're going to
try to get him the ball more. He is the

(06:00):
guy if you need a running back and you want
to stash somebody on your bench, Rishard Smith's the guy
would stash right now, because if he becomes a starting
running back on Kansas City, you're gonna wish it had him.
All Right.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Dallas scored forty at home last week, and they go
to the Mettlife stating even new forty on the Jets.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
They might, I mean the Jets. You think Aaron Glenn
would come in and fix this mess. No, it seemed
like the Jets are still the Jets. But in terms
of the Jets, four guys that you will play, you
will play justin fields. Certainly against Dallas you will play
Breese Hall for sure. You will play Garrett Wilson and yes,
you'll play Jason Taylor's son, Mason Taylor. I mean, look
at what Green Bay Dallas. Dallas does not do great

(06:42):
against tight ends. Mason Taylor's turning into their number two target.
Let me give you a player for the Jets. If
you're desperate for a running back, Braylen Allen is going
to be out pretty much for the restless season. This kid,
Isaiah Davis, can catch a little, can run a little.
If you're in desperate mode, you're in a deep league.
He should probably get about ten touches this. I'm not
saying he's great, but it's week five, there's bye weeks,

(07:03):
so we have issues.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Las Vegas got the running game going a certain boys.
He stayed running back, had his best game, couple of
touchdowns out of the backfield and one rushing as well.
Can you do that for a second week as the
Raiders go to Indianapolis?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Absolutely? I mean we've been waiting for this for how
long we've been Where was genty? Where was genty? We
finally start genty? I mean, he is that good. I
think they have to lean on him. Brock Bowers, He's
not one hundred percent. We know that. Michael Meyer not
one hundred percent, so they're not going to lean on
the tight end. I think Jacobe Myers is in a
good spot this week, but really Genty is in a great,

(07:38):
great situation, so I think you play him on the
other side. Alec Pierce is out once again. Michael Pittman
is not one hundred percent. I really Obviously, we love
Jonathan Taylor, we love Tyler Warren. This week. Tyler Warren
is a smash play. So I mean, the Raiders run
a lot of Cover three defense and Warren it's on that,
So get him in.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
This will not be a Super Bowl preview Miami at Carolina.
But I'm curious how the Dolphins now go without Tyreek
Hill for probably the rest of the season.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, so I think you want to focus on a
few guys. One is obviously Devana chan who is going
to get all the Carris he can handle. Two. Jalen Wattle,
the new number one receiver. Whenever Tyreek has been injured
in the past, Waddle has stepped up. I like Maleik Washington.
Malik Washington is a guy who, look, you're in a
twelve team league for you need a receiver, Washington will

(08:29):
be a starter there. He's not sensational, but he's good
enough about ten Fantasy points a week. Darren Waller looked
really good empty right. He came in at a couple
of touchdowns. I don't know if we could expect that
every week, but he's certainly in play for Carolina. I
don't know if people saw this. Chewba Hubbard is out
with a calf injury. Jatavian Sanders is out. Bryce Young

(08:50):
I do think is playable against his bad Miami defense.
Rico Dowdell. Let's not forget this guy does untuck. He
was good for Dallas last year and to Troy McMillan
is a must start.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Jackson dog gets a win in his first start. Will
he do make it two straight at New Orleans?

Speaker 4 (09:05):
You know I'm gonna call this one. I'm gonna call
the Saints upset here, I am. Look, the Giants are
coming off an emotional win at home. Okay, they played
really well, but you just lost Malik Neighbors. I think
people saw Jackson Darda and what the Giants want to do.
They want to make it like a college style offense.
The guy only threw what was it, twenty passes last week,
so I don't think they're gonna be throwing the ball everywhere. Obviously,

(09:28):
we like Skataboo. I like Darius Slayton a ton this
week because the Saints are a pass funnel defense. I
don't hate one Dale Robinson. But on the other side,
I'm gonna give you a couple of guys. First of all,
Alvin Kamara. They may trade him at any point soon,
so they're gonna want to give him carries. I love
Chris Olave and I love Rashid Shaheed. The Giants are

(09:48):
terrible in the back end. If Spencer Rattler is willing
to take a chance downfield, Shaheed could be the beneficiary
of a long distance touchdown. All right.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Last one for me, Doctor roto I put in and
Drake May last week was very pleased with that New
England's on a sexy team. Probably not going to contend
the AFC East, but that's for doesn't mean they can't
be a helpful fantasy wise. And Drake May and his
skill position players put up similar numbers this week, going
on a Sunday night game at Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Yeah, it's a divisional game, right, I think the reason
I don't look, who's your other quarterback mc besides.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
May, that would be a certain but named player, Kyler Murray.

Speaker 4 (10:26):
Ah okay, so yeah, I guess how are we playing
Drake May. I'm playing Kyler this week as am I. Yes. Yeah.
The thing is is that, Look, the way to beat
Buffalo is to run the football a ton. They just
got to keep running it, running and running it because
that's their weakness. And the Patriots like to do that.
They give the ball to Stevenson, they give the ball

(10:46):
to Henderson, they give the ball to Antonio Gibson. So
I like, you know, I like Drake May. I just
don't know if I love him. This week, Vegas only
thinks they're going to score about twenty points. The Cardinals
are in a position where they really should slam. They
don't don't have James Connor, they don't have Trey Benson. Look,
Michael Carter is not a generational talent. We're gonna see
a lot of Kyler throwing Marvin Harrison and throwing it

(11:09):
to Trey McBride.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
All right, time now, ROSSI to get your obligatory question
and for your one and three. Sorry as team Oh,
first of all, I'm in multiple leagues. Matt and we're
looking at championship ready. In some other spots, we've had
some injuries, but I'm going to keep it philosophical. You mentioned,
of course, a lot of injuries and some buys and
all that type of stuff. Just curious some tight ends.
You're thinking I could have a chance to get a
touchdown and be some good streamers, And the same thing

(11:32):
for quarterbacks who could maybe perform.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Oh all right, give me a second on this one.
I want to I want to look this up for
you models. Ok.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
You know, we'll do streamers. Do you take a break,
We'll take a break. An answer already?

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Of course I have an answer already, though, I do. Okay,
So first of all, I really like I do. I
like Dalton Schultz a lot. I think he's in a
great spot this week. I like Brenton Strange. I think
Stranger is in a good spot this week. How about
THEO Johnson? THEO Johnson in a better spot, and we
saw that Dart used him last week. Quarterbacks that I

(12:08):
think that are interesting. Man. I like Daniel Jones. I
like oh, Spencer Rattler, don't laugh. I like C. J.
Stroud and Spencer Rattler and Justin Fields. I think the
way to beat the Giants is if you can withstand
the pass rush, throw the ball deep. Rattler may have
the best game he's going to have all season. I
think Stroud's going to have one of the best games

(12:29):
that he's had all season. So and justin fields against
Dallas all day, all day.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
All right, there it is, ladies and gentlemen, your opportunity
