00:00Let's start off, George, with a player 50% or less owned in most Fantasy Leagues.

00:07That is Drake May of the New England Patriots.

00:10Pretty impressive numbers when you look at it on the season, considering the guy didn't

00:13play at the beginning of the year, 1,236 yards, the number that sticks out, 260 rushing yards

00:19in limited time, 10 total touchdowns, 6 interceptions.

00:23I thought he was actually okay against the Rams.

00:27He was in a tough spot at the end of the game last week.

00:29Of course, he threw a pick and the game ended, but boy, Bo Nix and Drake May have both impressed

00:35me to start.

00:36That's for sure.

00:37Bo Nix has been great, absolutely great here.

00:40I'm looking at some stats here as far as Miami gets quarterback fantasy-wise, Miami gets

00:45quarterbacks.

00:46On the season, they're top five, so they don't give up fantasy points to quarterbacks, but

00:50the last four weeks, they're more middle of the pack here, so that might give you some

00:53better judgment there on whether or not to use Drake May.

00:56I don't want to use May.

00:58I think that's a very ... I mean, the upside is limited, and even the floor could be pretty

01:05low.

01:06We have things that aren't going well.

01:07It is in Miami, so we're not worried about weather this weekend in the Northeast.

01:09I think Miami will score points, and they're going to have to throw the ball more, but

01:11we still know New England's going to want to take the air out of the ball.

01:15They don't want Miami to have 10 possessions.

01:17They want to slow this game down, kill the clock with Stevenson and such like that, not

01:21let Hill and Waddle and company get going here.

01:23Now, you mentioned no Cousins, no Allen, no Burrow here.

01:27I mean, no Carr.

01:28I don't know.

01:29I think I need to say Aaron Rodgers here, and I certainly don't need to say Mack Jones,

01:32but those are the quarterbacks that are out this week.

01:35I mean, in a one-quarterback league, if I'm going as far down as Drake May, I think things

01:41just did not work out very well for me at all.
