00:00um i've got david montgomery versus tampa that's a monday game or tony pollard against new england

00:05you mentioned that revenge narrative pollard's gonna have to do some work there who do you like

00:09yeah this one's tricky because david montgomery does not have a good matchup on paper right

00:14tampa bay buccaneers up front with vita vea and company are really stout they do a really good

00:18job and gives the guy who's gonna get the you know passing work and probably touch the ball

00:22in space more and montgomery is more of that guy between the tackles and between the tackles is

00:26not where you attack the tampa bay buccaneers it just isn't it's just not it's not a good look

00:30so i'm a little worried about montgomery i'm also worried about pollard to be honest but this is

00:34where we're at because of injuries and buys an rb2 world one of these guys got to get a start here

00:39so tony pollard is now under new head coach mike mccoy who's the interim coach and we don't know

00:43how that backfield is going to be split will we see more taji spears will we just see full complement

00:48of tony pollard there's a lot of questions there as well not to mention a game script that might not

00:52go their way but i will still lean with what i've seen so far to pollard which has still kind of been

00:57the number one guy even with spears starting to work his way back a little bit and montgomery's

01:01matchup i think is just so poor and i don't know how that game script is going to go either it could

01:05be a shootout so i don't really know how much we're going to get montgomery here so although

01:08montgomery might have more touchdown equity i think the steady volume of pollard so far this year

01:13is something i'm going to stick to so i'll take pollard by a hair but this is close and both of these

01:18matchups are flawed i think for both running backs this week all right i like it out of the backfield

01:23we go in the air and look downfield rashid shaheed new orleans at chicago i mean i don't want to say

01:33boring but this is just this is just the water and bread or cooper cup seattle versus houston far more

01:40spicy but where's the safe play well the safe play without a doubt is rashid shaheed he had six

01:46receptions in week one and every week six uh since he's had four receptions so he is getting it done

01:53in ppr leagues he is giving you somewhere between eight and 15 points now he's got two touchdowns on

01:59the year he is wide receiver 29 currently and for me you know i know cooper cup finally scored yay

02:05hooray for cooper cup you know but houston texans defense is very good uh look sam darnold's played

02:10really well i think seattle has a really good chance to win that football game on monday night the

02:14second double dip their game but i think rashid jaheed is just a steady easy play right now and

02:19credit to him and credit to spencer rattler too i think a lot of people were saying oh boy you know

02:24spencer rattler is going to be there for two weeks and they're going to see what shuck is and they're

02:27going to be the worst team in the league and the jets said hold my beer they still don't have a win

02:31and here we are it's week seven so the saints at least are competitive they were competing last week

02:36against the new england patriots right it wasn't a complete cakewalk there the patriots won that game but

02:41the saints were competing the week before they were really competitive against the buffalo bills

02:46like they're showing up in these games which i think credits to the coaching staff there and credit

02:51to spencer rattler but i think shaheed's minimum points there is so strong i'm just going to go

02:56ahead and take that despite the fact that cooper cup is the bigger name i'd rather have shaheed this

03:00week you're a smart man okay so our receivers are covered so now we look to our tight ends

03:06kade otten who has just been a godsend for baker mayfield at detroit reminder that's the monday

03:12game or is it michael mayor implements brock bowers stead las vegas at kansas city you know i'll be

03:19honest with you here like it was kate otten a couple days ago but now that you have a buka possibly

03:26playing and mike evans definitely back i just don't see that pathway for him now with brock bowers

03:32other guy who is doubtful is probably going to miss this week and they're going into the buy

03:35so which means they're going to get brock bowers probably hopefully healthy in a couple weeks here

03:40but it's been brutal you had early draft stock in brock bowers and it just has not worked out

03:44but michael mayor is a guy that i think you get the job done and in what seems to be a potential

03:49negative game script here against the kansas city chiefs i would think that michael mayor is actually

03:54the way to go with this one he was a good tight end at notre dame he can catch the football too he

03:58just got replaced right he just got there was a guy on the board he couldn't pass up in brock

04:01bowers and they did but last week against the tennessee titans five catches for 50 and a touchdown

04:06this offense is kind of built around the tight end because it's supposed to be a bowers centric

04:11kind of offense and it just hasn't been because brock bowers hasn't been there so there's still

04:15opportunity here for him plus jacoby myers not 100 healthy so i'm going to favor mike mayor here i

04:20think michael mayor actually is the play that i want here and it's tough right now in tight end

04:24between the bye weeks between the injuries you know i'd rather play mason taylor than either of them but

04:28he is rostered in a lot of leagues already still uh but if mason taylor is still floating out there

04:33i would rather play him over both i think with garrett wilson out mason taylor probably sees even

04:37more targets we're talking double digit targets for him i think potentially in this game so there's

04:42out to tight end this week that you don't even have to play either of these guys i think taylor is

04:45actually a better streamer than mayor or potentially kate audden

04:49so
