00:00
Same game, opposing teams, you got Cade Otten, the Bucks have Baltimore, you have Mark Andrews,
00:08
the Ravens have Tampa Bay, but you're going to have to wait for this one here, but which
00:12
one would you choose?
00:13
You know, it's funny because I think Andrews has more touchdown equity.
00:17
The interesting thing is that Cade Otten's just on the field a ton.
00:21
So you know, the snap percentage, he's well into the 85, 90% on average range.
00:27
So he's on the field so much.
00:28
Now that means by default, he gets some looks, but he's still tight end 20 on the year.
00:34
So I'm going to roll the dice here on this one, and I'm going to go with Mark Andrews
00:38
and hope that we're finally getting him to build out.
00:40
You know, last week on the show, if you recall, we broke out Mark Andrews.
00:44
Remember, we called the touchdown for us.
00:46
We got it, broke out Sam Laporta.
00:48
We were talking about this is the tight ends coming home to the fantasy rosters and making
00:52
good on all the draft capital.
00:54
And we were right about it.
00:55
We nailed that.
00:56
And I think we're going to continue to build on that here.
00:57
And I think when you're looking at the last two weeks for him, yeah, just seven catches
01:01
total, but over 100 yards and a touchdown, I think things are getting a little better.
01:06
You have to understand, maybe Mark Andrews is the guy who's going to be on the field
01:09
50% of the time.
01:10
But even though Cade Otten's on the field almost twice as much, I don't think he carries
01:15
the same kind of touchdown equity that Andrews is.
01:17
So I'm going to chase that touchdown at tight end.
01:19
All right.
01:20
If you're just joining us, Fantasy Sports Today, Matt Strager sitting speaking with
01:23
Joe Pizzapia, the author of the fantasy black book.
01:26
It's available right now.
01:27
So thank you so much for getting your start, sit questions in here and it's time to talk
01:30
quarterbacks and Joe, you personally sat down and wrote the quarterback entries to the black
01:34
book and you continue to do so throughout the update.
01:37
So perfect guy with whom to speak.
01:39
Kirk Cousins has a great cherry match up there, I say against Seattle, Kyler Murray against
01:44
the Chargers.
01:45
Now I know from earlier in the show and earlier shows that you're beginning to sour on one
01:49
and really rise on the other start, sit Kirk Cousins or Kyler Murray.
01:54
I already told you guys at the top of the show.
01:57
I've lost my confidence in Kyler Murray and Kirk Cousins has been really good.
02:01
Cousins right now is QB 18 of fantasy points per game, 12th in yards per attempt, but everything
02:06
is going in the right direction as a trend.
02:08
And I think that is very important too.
02:11
And when you look at Seattle's past defense since week four against Brock Purdy, Jared
02:15
Goff, Daniel Jones, they've allowed the highest yards per attempt and the second most passing
02:20
touchdown.
02:21
So that's a good recipe for fantasy points when it comes to Kirk Cousins.
02:23
So give me Cousins in this one today.
02:25
I feel very confident about Cousins and I think Gino is a good start in this game too.
02:30
Both of those guys, I would start over Kyler Murray.
02:32
I know Kyler has the rushing equity that we all covet.
02:35
It's very exciting.
02:36
He gives those video game highlight real play sometimes, but enough.
02:41
I want consistency and Kyler has been all over the board.
02:45
The passing yards have been low and I'm really concerned that Harbaugh is going to have some
02:49
confusion in there and give him some problems and that's going to lead to another disappointing
02:53
day as opposed to one of the great days from Kyler Murray.
02:56
I liked him against the 49ers.
02:57
I made no bones about it.
02:58
He always shows up to play them, but against a coach like Harbaugh, I think he's going
03:01
to have some other things for him to struggle with and that defense for the Chargers has
03:03
been much improved year over year.
03:06
All right.
03:07
Good stuff as always from you, Joey P. Let's keep the quarterback conversation going here
03:11
now.
03:12
Deshaun Watson has Cincinnati, Tyler Huntley is at Indianapolis.
03:16
We can have a conversation about start-sit, but also a broader game script conversation
03:21
for both these games.
03:22
So who stands out to you?
03:25
Oh, this is very difficult here because the matchup on paper should be.
03:32
Now I know why Marge Simpson makes that noise.
03:34
You know, well, I mean, you know, look, Deshaun Watson at this point, you would think that
03:40
against the Cincinnati Bengals with the name Deshaun Watson, that that's where you'd run
03:45
to, but I don't know if it's a slam dunk and you've taken away, you know, Amari Cooper
03:49
now.
03:50
So that's one of the bigger weapons in this offense and Nick Chubb's coming back.
03:54
So that's exciting to a certain degree is going to be limited, maybe 10 touches in this
03:58
game.
03:59
We'll see, but I just can't get there.
04:02
And I think the Browns are going to be competitive in this game.
04:04
I think that, you know, Joe Burrow always seems to struggle against the Cleveland Browns.
04:08
I think I would roll the dice with Tyler Huntley and I know that's kind of really surprising,
04:12
but I just, I've seen that Colts defense just give up so many fancy points, the quarterbacks
04:15
and so many fancy points across the board, take my chances with the weapons he's got
04:19
to elevate his value.
