00:00 I do believe that Darius Slayton will have to be a part of that in some regard.
00:07 He's 5700 on Fandul, 4 even on DK, dare I say free square.
00:12 Joe, thoughts?
00:13 Yeah, you said it and you ain't wrong.
00:16 4K on DK allows you to do a lot.
00:18 And here's the thing, how many guys are going to have 4K are going to get the target share
00:22 this guy's getting recently.
00:23 Now, I know two weeks ago against the Eagles, he only had three catches, but he had 90 yards
00:28 in a touchdown on those three catches against those Eagles.
00:30 And last week, he had four catches on six targets for 106 yards and another touchdown.
00:36 The first game that Taylor was in there against with New Orleans, four of eight for 63.
00:41 So Darius Slayton is apparently the go to guy here for Taylor, and certainly a red zone
00:46 threat as well.
00:48 So I think this is a really unique pairing.
00:49 So if you put Slayton and Taylor together, that allows you potentially to squeeze in
00:55 a CD lamb, right, or an Almanra Saint Brown or one of these higher priced guys.
00:59 Now that's a really good alternative where you're getting a lot of good productivity,
01:03 a lot of good target share, a lot of good fantasy point potential in one spot there.
01:08 The rushing equity that Taylor brings as well.
01:10 I think the Giants and Brian Dable are going to show up because that's what the Giants
01:14 have done all year.
01:15 The Giants have not been a good football team, but I don't think we really question the effort
01:18 level of the Giants.
01:19 Even if you go back and watch that game against the Buffalo Bills, the effort level there
01:23 was huge, you know, a few weeks back, like they, they continue to show up because they
01:26 both is a good coach.
01:28 They just haven't had health on that team.
01:30 They I think played above their expectations last year.
01:33 And I think this year things came back down to earth.
01:36 The off season for the Giants has got to be about soul searching.
01:38 I know Jalen Hyatt was a draft pick last year.
01:40 He really hasn't done much this season.
01:42 We'll see if they think next year he can, but I think the Giants kind of got to reevaluate.
01:47 Yeah.
01:48 Is Daniel Jones really our guy?
01:49 We made the investment in him.
01:51 If we're going to stick to that, things got to change.
01:53 What do they do with Saquon Barkley?
01:54 That's a huge question mark too.
01:56 My guess is they free up that Barkley money and they don't extend him and they look elsewhere
02:00 and spread that money around.
02:01 And I think in this version of the NFL, that's probably the right call.
