| 0:00.0 | Recapping Thursday Night Football next on Fantasy Football today in 5. |
| 0:10.2 | Welcome to FFT in 5. I'm Chris Towers. We're with Adamazer and we're recapping the Steelers 20 to 16 win over the Titans. |
| 0:17.8 | Weird disjointed game. A lot of penalties penalties early on we had a couple of lengthy injury |
| 0:24.8 | breaks trailing burke's scary situation had to be carted off late in the game all reports are |
| 0:30.6 | that he had feeling and movement and all of his extremities so hopefully he's okay |
| 0:34.4 | Adam let's talk about what you saw from Titans quarterback, Will Levis, and his second |
| 0:41.3 | start. And look, Mike Vrable is not canvassing fantasy analysts for their opinions on who |
| 0:48.4 | should be his quarterback. But what do you think about how Will Levis has looked so far? |
| 0:53.4 | Pretty impressed, honestly. |
| 0:55.3 | It was easy to be impressed in week eight, but I thought even though he only scores 8.7 fantasy points, |
| 1:00.9 | he throws for 262 yards. |
| 1:03.2 | And basically, if you give the guy a clean pocket, he's lethal. |
| 1:06.9 | He makes some really good throws. |
| 1:08.9 | He hit Kyle Phillips on a couple of throws that were terrific. He's looking for DeAndre Hopkins. So I know it was a frustrating game for Hopkins, four for 60. And credit Joey Porter, the rookie, for doing a pretty good job on him. But 11 targets for Hopkins, it's no doubt about it. Easy call. You go with Will Levis, especially because you lost. You're building for the future now, right? |
| 1:28.4 | So you go with Levis, and I think I wouldn't call him a must add, but it really wouldn't surprise me |
| 1:33.7 | because his arm talent is ridiculous. Man, very impressive. It wouldn't surprise me if he had a big finish. |
| 1:39.7 | So I actually, I would call him basically a must add in a 12 team league or deeper. |
| 1:44.5 | Not a must start, but someone I want because there could be a big finisher with his talent. |
| 1:48.5 | I did think it was like watching him and Kenny Pickett was such a contrast between how easy Will Levis can generate velocity. |
| 1:56.9 | Like he doesn't have to step into the throws. |
| 1:59.1 | It's just a flick of the wrist. |
| 2:00.2 | Whereas like, Kenny Pickett, if he needs to get behind the ball, he really needs to like get behind the ball and drive it. You know, it's like a real distinction there between those two guys. We want to talk about some winners and losers. But before we get there, how are you feeling about this Steelers backfield? We've now had, I think it's three straight games where Naji Harris has outscored Jalen Warren, something he didn't do, uh, any of the first five games of |
