| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:15.5 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:16.5 | It's Tuesday, October 17th, 2020. |
| 0:19.5 | Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show. Meager man, M.G. Marcus |
| 0:23.0 | Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio. We got a fun one today, folks. We are hitting up the fan |
| 0:27.6 | mailbag to answer some of your biggest questions after week six. Plus, our pal Matt O'Cada is |
| 0:33.0 | going to drop by with his top waiver wire targets, but let's get to some of your questions. |
| 0:37.4 | Because you guys had a few that you sent to us on social media website.com. |
| 0:41.1 | So we'll dive into as many as we can over the next few minutes. |
| 0:44.7 | This one coming from Houston sports fan who wants to know, |
| 0:49.2 | what's the situation with Calvin Ridley? |
| 0:52.2 | He's not dropable, but I cannot trust him in my lineup on a week |
| 0:56.3 | to week basis anymore. So what are we doing with C. Rid? I think you just keep starting him. |
| 1:01.5 | Like I know yesterday wasn't a great fantasy game. He still led the team with eight targets. And this |
| 1:06.4 | was in a game where they didn't have to throw the ball a whole bunch because they were up multiple |
| 1:10.6 | scores throughout. Like Christian Kirk didn't have a great game either. He just caught the touchdown. I think with both of the Jaguars guys, you got to understand variance as a thing at the wide receiver position. There'll be up weeks, down weeks, but I think you just kind of roll with the two of them. I mean, you just kind of have to because they're the guys who are getting most of the targets. And, you know, it's really funny because for as frustrating as really is, and I'm not denying that it hasn't been a frustrating experience. He's a top 25 receiver in fantasy right now. So I know it's not what you were hoping for when you drafted him. I think you were probably banking on him being a little bit closer to the top 10. It is what it is. |
| 1:45.8 | Hopefully he can turn some things around in the second half of the season because, again, |
| 1:49.5 | most of the targets going toward him and Christian Kirk, you got to believe at some point |
| 1:53.4 | they're going to break through. But I understand your frustration, 100%. |
| 1:57.5 | Genzu wants to know, is it safe to drop DeMercado after one week? Is it okay to drop Stevenson? I think these are two very different questions right here. Yeah, Demercato, yes. I know he was out there for the passing down stuff, but Josh Jobs doesn't really dump off as much as we were hoping. Stevenson, why would you drop him now? Like this is his best game in a long. He had five catches yesterday. They started throwing him the ball again, and he gets the bills next week, which I know on paper might look like a tough matchup. The bills cannot stop the run. Like, they're given over five yards of carry. I think you roll with Stevenson again next week. Yeah, I think you can definitely say goodbye to Di Mercado. |
| 2:36.4 | Kianti Ingram looked like the lead back. |
