00:00Let's talk about quarterbacks, George, is it time to grab Russell Wilson in fantasy?
00:04I mean, he does have seven total touchdowns this season.
00:09He has 737 yards.
00:12He's been way better than I thought he was going to be.
00:14Is it a matchup situation for me?
00:16I mean, two quarterback league, it's a must, of course, but I still don't think he's a
00:20starter in a 12.
00:22I still don't think he's a starter in a 14.
00:25How about you, George?
00:26What's the scenario that it would take for you to pick him up and start him?
00:29You know, watching Russell, all he's doing, Craig, he's throwing a lot of alley-oop balls
00:33and they're being caught.
00:34George Pickens has been great.
00:35He's just been great going up and getting that ball.
00:38If you take that away, he's not doing much else here.
00:41That being said, you're playing Baltimore.
00:43Craig, I'm pretty sure you can get back there and throw a couple of touchdown passes against
00:46Baltimore.
00:47Their secondary is horrendous.
00:48All right, so I'm definitely starting him this week.
00:50You want to call him a quarterback, one quarterback, two, whatever.
00:53I'm starting him.
00:54I want him in there against that team.
00:56They just give too many points and I don't see that changing all that much.
00:58That being said, I do expect Pittsburgh to try and take the air out of the ball this
01:02week.
01:03They don't want to get into a shootout with Baltimore.
01:04I just think it's going to end up being a quasi-shootout because you don't have a choice
01:07because Baltimore gets to score points here.
01:09So for this week, yes, but it is a week-by-week thing.
01:11I think he's more quarterback two than quarterback one.
01:16The Saints are down to Marquez Valdez-Scantling as their primary wide receiver one.
01:23How this has happened has just been confluence of events.
01:26Shaheed Shaheed out, Chris Olave out.
01:29I don't think that Marcus Colston is coming back.
01:32So George, you got a 31% owned Marquez Valdez-Scantling.
01:41I feel like George through the years, you tell me, Marquez Valdez-Scantling is the player
01:47that no one has ever succeeded starting in fantasy, but he is the player you pick up
01:51after he succeeds in fantasy and then you get absolutely nothing.
01:56That's my feeling on him.
01:57Oh, I think you crushed it.
01:58I think you absolutely crushed it because that's exactly what's going to happen here.
02:02People are going to go out and grab MVS now and he's going to lay an egg.
02:05Cleveland's a better defense here.
02:07Now granted, Derek Carr has been very good at throwing a deep ball this year.
02:09Very good at it.
02:10We've seen him hit multiple deep shots.
02:12So MVS is going to get his chances.
02:14They're playing in the domes.
02:15You're not worried about the weather.
02:16I have no doubt there are going to be opportunities where Carr is going to put the ball up there.
02:19Maybe he comes down with it.
02:20Maybe he doesn't.
02:21But if you don't get that, if you don't get the long play, you know the volume is not
02:25going to be there.
02:26He's not catching six balls for 82 yards at a score.
02:28It's either three for 99 and two scores or one for whatever, 28.
02:35So it's a boom or bust here.
02:37And there are four teams on by this week.
02:38So you don't have Marvin Harris.
02:39You don't have Malik Nabors.
02:40I don't think anybody's worried about the Carolina guys.
02:44You don't have Mike Evans who could be back next week.
02:46So maybe you need somebody.
02:47I'd have to be desperate, Craig.
02:48I don't want to do it.
02:49I'd have to be pretty desperate.
