| 0:00.0 | Let's recap Thursday. |
| 0:05.1 | Next on Fantasy Football today in five. |
| 0:09.9 | I mean, we're going to recap Thursday, if football, but honestly, if you want to take like 30 seconds, Adam, Adam Azer to tell, I mean, Ezekiel Elliott, awesome game for, for fantasy purposes. |
| 0:24.3 | 72 receiving yards, 68 rushing yards, 22 carries, seven receptions, one touchdown. |
| 0:29.7 | It was kind of the best case scenario for what we were hoping for from Ezekiel Elliott, |
| 0:35.5 | where the, I don't think another running back touched the ball. Ty Montgomery had one reception in this game. But yeah, it was all Ezekieli. Do you think that was just a short week? Let's just get through it with Zee and see what happens. Or do you think he's going to have this kind of role moving forward from Andre Stevenson's out? I think he's pretty much going to have this kind of role. I don't expect them to be winning most games. And I think so I don't see as many carries, but I do think you're going to get a lot of catches. Now remember, DiMario Douglas wasn't playing. He'll take some of those catches. Devonte Parker wasn't playing. He can project seven catches every week. |
| 1:28.9 | But I think you can project four to five catches on a weekly basis. I don't see why not. It's what was going on with Ramandre Stevenson. Dare I say, Ezekiel Elliott is, no, he's not a must start. He's close. In full PBR, he's close to a must start. Despite the terrible yards per carry, I thought he actually looked pretty good, made some guys miss, made someone miss in the passing game on a play. |
| 1:30.5 | The touchdown was nice. |
| 1:44.9 | I don't expect him to look good on a weekly basis, but he's fresh, right? So, yeah, if I have Zique, I'm pretty excited about it. This at least gives me a good flex option every week until Ravondre's back. Is there anyone in this Steelers offense you want to start with Mitchell Chubrisky a quarterback? |
| 1:47.1 | Or can he picket at quarterback? |
| 1:47.7 | Yeah. |
| 1:52.1 | There was the one game, I guess, where they scored. |
| 1:56.0 | Yeah, and they had 16 points in that game. |
| 1:58.1 | So it's not like the offense was actually that great. |
| 2:00.1 | Yeah, Steelers are bad. |
| 2:01.5 | Let's move on. |
| 2:03.4 | That's your Thursday night football recap. |
| 2:09.6 | That is two minutes on the Steelers and Patriots, which is about as much as they deserve this season. |
| 2:10.8 | Let's move on to a segment that I'm going to call. |
| 2:14.0 | Are these guys actually going to play this week? |
| 2:16.1 | It's three players who are making seemingly, I don't know if miraculous is the right word. |
| 2:21.5 | One of them seems more questionable than the other two, but three guys who I did not expect to play this week, |
