00:00give us some week 17 league winners give me a quarterback running back give me more than one
00:05running back tell me what you've got here maybe even a defense and a wide receiver let's start
00:09I'm asking a lot but it's you know it's Christmas give me give me a quarterback let's start there
00:13give me a quarterback well it's the curious case of Joe Burrow a season that really undid a lot of
00:19super flex teams he was probably a first round pick if not a top five pick in most super flex
00:24drafts and you know then he had the injury in week two and we didn't see him again till week 13
00:29that's a long time and then and then he had a terrible game in week 15 against the the Ravens
00:36which had a lot of people concerned that they could even move on past where they needed to in the
00:40playoffs so a tricky season for him but if you survived week 15 well you thrived in week 16 you
00:46find yourself week 17 now playing the Arizona Cardinals in your own building with that still
00:52awful defense Joe Burrow has a chance here to have back-to-back 300-yard games besides that turd
00:58against the Baltimore Ravens he has thrown for 261 284 and 309 he is at four touchdowns in two
01:04games reminding everybody how good he is and I think there's a lot of question marks does Joe
01:09Burrow want out of Cincinnati does he just need somewhere new or are we going to have a new coach
01:14come in new situation whatever it is something's got to change here for Joe Burrow because
01:18to make a wrestling reference here for Matt I think Joe Burrow is losing his smile and I don't think
01:23it's a good thing we don't want that to happen here for Joe Burrow but I do think that this week
01:29we are set up here for Joe Burrow to have a massive game so if you pick him up off the waiver wire in a
01:34single quarterback league because somebody dropped him they didn't want to wait now is that reward time
01:39where he can win you a fantasy championship slightly different dispositions between the two
01:45from behind the quarterback we go to the running back give me uh give me one or two actually let's
01:52go with two let's start with one here give me a running back that's going to win week 17 and win
01:56my league well before we get to week 17 I want to harken back to a simpler time I want to harken back
02:02to preseason where most fantasy analysts out there were telling you to fade James Cook fade James Cook why
02:08I don't know I was trying to figure out the reason I'm drafting him everywhere this is a guy right
02:13now that has 1,532 yards and 12 touchdowns now people kept saying well he's going to regress in
02:18a touchdown he's not going to have 16 touchdowns again well he's got 12 and two games left so you
02:23know what it's possible and he's got 500 more rushing yards than he did last year and the thing
02:28I kept coming back to me was what did the Buffalo Bills do to make this offense much better year over
02:35year and the answer was Joshua Palmer that was the answer that's not a good answer that is an
02:39incomplete so to me James Cook was clearly going to be the guy in the offense and if you look at the
02:44win total for the Buffalo Bills it equates to when he is rushing the football and you got to get this
02:50guy the football now the Eagles isn't the easiest matchup but you know what neither is New England
02:54Patriots he had 107 yards against the New England Patriots so back-to-back 100-yard games for him
02:59he's at 100 yards rushing in four of his last five games I want him to go over that number again today
03:05again I know it's difficult here with the Eagles on the other side but I do believe that you're
03:09going to see James Cook once again lead the charge for the Buffalo Bills and lead people to fantasy
03:13championships today once again a reminder don't go with the herd don't always look for the group
03:19think and the sheep out there telling you well this is just bound for regression why just because
03:24it surprised you last year again look at the body of work this guy put together look how the offense
03:29is built and if all of a sudden if they brought in I don't know Justin Jefferson next year to the
03:35Buffalo Bills yeah Cook but there was nobody there to compete in terms of offensive weaponry
03:41and James Cook has basically been that lean for Josh Allen thanks God that he has him I'll tell you
03:47that much so James Cook so proud of you on all my teams and I'm so disappointed all those analysts
