| 0:00.0 | Which players can you trust rest of season? Can you trust Matthew Stafford? Can you trust Michael |
| 0:08.4 | Pittman? We'll talk about it right now on Fantasy Football today in Five. What's going on? Adam |
| 0:15.0 | Azar and Dave Richard here. It's Tuesday night. You're probably listening on Wednesday morning. |
| 0:18.9 | Thanks for so much being a dedicated audience member of fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:23.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:24.3 | We didn't get a ton of news on Tuesday, but Daniel Jones seems likely to miss this week's game. |
| 0:30.0 | He's week to week with a neck strain. |
| 0:32.7 | Does this mean anything to you in terms of Gala Day or whoever, Barclay, whoever else you might be interested in on the Giants? |
| 0:38.3 | So we're going to get a quarterback change. Mike Lennel will be the quarterback for New York. When we last saw him, he was aggressive in throwing downfield. Not that I'm going to promise you that he's going to say that way against the dolphins. Dolphins are definitely going to try and come after him. I would imagine that there will be a little more in the way of downfield shots, at least intermediate throws. |
| 0:57.3 | We're talking... definitely going to try and come after him. I would imagine that there will be a little more in the |
| 0:54.4 | way of downfield shots, at least intermediate throws. We're talking passes 10 to 19 yards |
| 0:59.9 | downfield for Kenny Goliday and for Cadarious Tony provided that he actually plays in the game. |
| 1:06.1 | I think it's probably going to be okay for Sterling Shepard if he ends up playing as well, |
| 1:10.6 | but this should make things a little bit more interesting for the Giants, whose offense really was sputtering with Daniel Jones. I know that sounds crazy that Mike Lennon could be that guy, but the one thing that you can always say about Glennon is that he's had the arm talent. There's a lot of things that he doesn't quite have but armed talent he's got and so i imagine he'll |
| 1:28.4 | try and use that against the dolphins matthew stafford and odell beckham can you trust them down the |
| 1:33.7 | stretch so their schedule is interesting it's jacksonville at arizona seattle which has actually |
| 1:39.5 | been pretty good against the past minnesota in week 16 and then at baltimore in week 17 i you're going to be able to trust Stafford. I just don't think that there's 10 or 11 other quarterbacks that you'll put ahead of him week to week. I'm a little bit more encouraged about how the offensive line played against Green Bay. Beckham is the one. He had the one great play against the Packers. Everything else was kind of eh, but he did have 10 targets in the game. And that's something that you might feel okay about. I would say Beckham's the number three receiver. All right, Devante Smith and Jalen Hertz. How about that passing duo? Jalen Hertz, can you trust that one down the stretch? Well, I'm not even 100% sure that Jalen Hertz is going to play. It sounds like he had a really sore ankle coming out of the week 12 matchup, but the schedule for Philadelphia, |
| 2:21.2 | we've talked about it so much. It's perfect. It's the Jets. It's a buy. Two games against |
| 2:26.3 | Washington and the Giants before week 18 against the Cowboys, probably quite literally the easiest |
| 2:33.0 | schedule that an offense will have the remainder |
| 2:35.4 | of the year. It just kind of stinks that hurts is hurt right now. And then they've got to buy |
| 2:40.0 | next week. I would put Smith in the number three receiver conversation as well. Hurts probably |
