Fantasy Lowe Down - 12/23/2008

[0:03]" This guy and who would sit who's this week. Who's the -- fantasy lowdown all weekly look at the upcoming -- in the fantasy football. From a Patriots perspective. -- from all around the NFL. Has your fantasy question. Hear from the experts."

[0:31]" We have our own in house -- he couldn't whoever built right yeah Brian -- let us be a weekly keep keep this thing employer right."

[0:39]" An apartment on Bennett -- down with Brian --"

[0:44]" Welcome into the -- he'll go to our leading into week seventeen and the Patriots are right in the mix for the playoff hunt and we hope that you are in the mix. For your -- and he. The championship as well I am not but that doesn't mean I can't give you my quote -- expert advice expert opinion. I'll leading up to this we now out of the league there are all done and done it yet championship week last week -- that came through that okay and got it Lee goes all the way through week seventeen. Good luck you're now that that the thing about we have a reason why a lot of leagues. Don't go this far I am is because many teams tend to -- if they're -- walked into a playoff spot or if they're completely out of the playoffs. -- they might read certain guys like guys who were injured but maybe less than a 100% won't play -- Award if there was a lot more on the line. Teams that are completely out of it might give their second string quarterback an opportunity. On. You know back -- running back and maybe they won't later. Their defense. And that affects the game yeah I'd -- to -- rather than down to deal with all that once we wrap things up by I -- so that's we're -- right now in dot you know -- some teams are on the still alive we've got a few emails already and I'm from people who watch after questions. To go for this week -- W a little earlier in the week it is a holiday on Thursday or up side for that day but. Still important to us that we bring you here for advice in and year out it. Through what got -- world. I hear on the Tuesday and die as turns out this will be you know the final and -- episode of this season and now. -- and things in the off season and I hope we get right back to it I'd next year 2009 he's in which chaos he go by. Will be right tech netted but -- right now are wrapping things up right now for the 2008 season you can email and web radio he -- dot com over the next hour will be here till 5 o'clock. Discussing. The world. To kick things off -- I -- usually we go through all the more week and the odds of that week. And category position but I thought for today we need to go through you know the top guys that he. Position for the entire year and who were in the performers and a Doumit will touch on them the down."

[3:03]" But the bigger disappointment as well on the you can -- your -- if you have any Alan -- we're talking about your web radio at Patriots icon starting at quarterback. You know there's really clear cut number one as far as all that's going to he didn't have a -- a great year really disappointing year in Orleans. Opera Drew Brees on the yardage leader in the NFL it close to 4700 he's got a chance actually a fairly decent -- This week to get to the 5000 yard mark. 4006 -- 83 right now and thirty touchdowns on I had him -- my leagues actually traded for him early in a year -- a tree that really worked out well for me. I dealt Ben Roethlisberger and Michael Turner. For Drew Brees and right dealt. Ben Roethlisberger Frank Gore for Drew Brees and Michael Turner now at the time. I figured it sort of personal training with that I was getting the veteran of the quarterback -- and I used and the veteran of the running deck he'll Michael Turner it started out wrong -- one I believe it was one really good week -- one more week. Opt for Atlanta and it was around that time that we need to trade. But I had Drew Brees and my team the past and help take. This is really want to more. Performers certainly the most in -- quarterback -- a -- Elton you know we have a huge yard run -- down the stretch early on he was meant. And the and the way right now sixteen interceptions although. A little high one of the leaders and -- that actually. And you're certainly among top quarterback so that was unfortunate there but I handled by the guys over 4000 yards Kurt Warner the end -- probable starter with 4300. I'm 26 touchdowns thirteen interceptions or really solid year. You wouldn't know it by watching him perform this past Sunday. But a great year on the last and I Jay Cutler will put him up their two as far as over 4000 yards and 98 point four touchdowns on the year. Opt out touch down pass leader was Philip Rivers 32 touchdowns and all eleven receptions are really good ratio. Doc Rivers and yet and I just over 3800 yards when it is obvious it is still a week ago so are really good -- Rivers get over 4000 yards. And Peyton Manning you know he comes out you know doesn't really play in the -- he's he's got an injury and -- of speculation immediately slowed for a couple weeks he's going to hit 4000 yards again. He's over 3900 right now 26 touchdowns and twelve interceptions. Given not to Aaron Rodgers as well 3730 on the yardage two point five TDs and thirteen interceptions. On some big years right there and and as far as who among them were really be there is surprised. Really -- current quarter on not pretty much but really young up and coming stars in the NFL and remain fantasy wise and I if you have any of those guys -- Rodgers -- Rivers a color here and it's April league. It the future's bright for those guys Peyton Manning eighteenth on churning so on got to give in the the not there. Now right here in our backyard -- What are remarkable story really what are remarkable story. Not only did he come on in the first week those first couple weeks -- managing the team pretty well that -- manage. But. Not a lot of fantasy production hundred something yards each game no touchdowns -- pick immediate touchdown to pick. -- what -- he had their November and right now he's number he's at 3215. Yards so. An outside shot -- 4000 yards on on the east and he needs you know close to 400 which he's done a couple times here 21 touchdowns eleven interceptions. A remarkable year and and he'll most likely get his opportunity somewhere next year. On as a starter and -- probably won't be here. On a few other high yardage guys Donovan McNabb really young coming into his own and and to close the 4000 yards as well. And got 21 touchdowns they're Tony Romo 3265. Yards 46 touchdowns are really high touchdowns not. In net yardage -- pretty good nonetheless in my opinion. -- Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco had very good years. Did it in years but very good NFL quarterback your arm and a first round quarterback that was pretty good. But when it comes to surprises this year. There's a couple different categories there's the Jeff are you category guy who you know he's one of several possibilities and he comes across as a decent year. I'm I'm going to get hot to Kyle Orton. As one of my -- the surprised a quarterback he's going to -- with 3000 yards which is huge touchdown. Is pretty remarkable right there for him on a guy I really -- as well -- John hill not a lot of yardage twelve touchdowns and seven interceptions. And the most disappointing I think has been Marc Bulger Marc Bulger 2490. Yards ten touchdowns thirteen interceptions. And die which is really terrible for what really wasn't terribly year. On their radio for the St. Louis Rams. And Marc Bulger signed your contract. And and -- to come back with too terribly so and there's a quick look at quarterback. Interspersed. That that look at each of the opposition this week. On as we go by going to mix and a few email as well we'll get to start right here with Paul from London off for the last time this season."

[8:08]" I'd be low in -- just for the record Paul did not with us here today we get chase. Not a bad alternative jay does a good job the end you know they're ball sort of on out all fantasy football. They're they're in the mix -- sports. I don't know if they're passionate UN place up the key to which he can give me not a dealt to -- is not a geek like down like the host of the show but. All those amid the championship game -- seventeen might -- In all the while wasting your bench -- Brady like that it keeper league you don't want to keep that I -- that guy around on gut it is I was so tempted by Lamont Jordan. Who would replace your he would ever play with -- and -- the -- everything you're way to win by 93 point can only be good. With a -- we -- there'll obviously be some players didn't break but here's my team in three waiver claims that the bought our. Quarterback he's got color shot Brady colors you guys running back Chris got him more -- Jacob. You go through on you -- Johnson and Amare this week is Brandon Jacobs. Good chance he doesn't play at all for the Giants to a -- wideout Moss Fitzgerald Welker. On he started 3 bottom -- I don't remember but those are great three you know while three you'll start to a three. I'm -- is. -- you don't want to go to Gerald at Arizona and was was not that he's going to go with all their name guys and -- there at home against Seattle so should be they want for Fitzgerald between Moss and Welker. On you're probably going to get that. Point reception -- production Welker. Maybe he finds the end zone again the big play possibility of loss but that Welker might be the better bet. Tight end Chris -- your mind their kicker now skewed by their defense teams Baltimore although I'm hoping from my point and we haven't -- here from a atrial. We say okay my three waiver claims Antonio Bryant replacing Dominik -- and or Ron McClain replacement Tatum Bell the -- Jack replacing -- short on interest thought there. Bill I sort of like this week. Denver going against San Diego there at San Diego he's their guy they've had -- running backs on injured reserve all. Aram but I like Tatum Bell lot on. Probably more open Ron McClain is we may be all the Leron McClain has been pretty been doing pretty well. And actually don't act and I think about it and -- might be the better bet but it discharge replacing Tashard Choice -- not quite sure about that one. I'd like Tashard Choice -- revolved around Marion Barber his workload but. You know what you want to you know maintain a little more of -- balance at wide receiver have a few other options I series go with there with a project and as always -- may change my -- for when and with a chance to play anyway thanks for your help -- much appreciated as if I -- a final hope to hear your keeper league help in the armor and hopefully I can boast about being the champion at one and three. Eric Christmas DO and let's hope junior brings all Super Bowl thing off from what Paul. It's been a pleasure to help -- this year hopefully we have indict Vick in an email we thank you very much on good luck here in week number seventeen for you. On a thought I'd hear as we. Progressed -- in the game he'll -- I was looking at one of my -- might want to write that I wrote a world dot com and out there rankings this week aren't up yet usually by the time we come on here on Thursday. They are not much right now I'm. But not when it comes to -- you know stardom or -- this week of these teams who are locked in the playoff spot. Or were eliminated and the who writes about a few wise you know you don't Giants coach Tom Coughlin intent to play most starters and we haven't seen it in the Vikings. Brandon Jacobs however he did most of the game on -- And they get closer Koppen had to different players with the injury or another word on the plane right now is that most starters will play Eli Manning. On a Kevin -- Dominic nick and Derrick Ward and gain in the -- Jacobs -- ghost of Jacob we've been battling an injury to the town. You want to -- Cardinals coach Ken Witten on indicated that he will play his starters against Iraq as we much off was not reeling Arizona quite knew if -- the plan after what they did the other day your New England. You don't want to go to the playoffs and our open note off -- I in the past which has been good though on look like we're not going to try to get his team on a bit of a role. And as a as a host Seattle so there's opportunity there to on get a W what they already noted known for couple weeks they're hosting a game. In the first round of the playoffs. -- you know or locked in to a spot their number four. On or three or four but looks like Anquan Boldin will be tackler terrible play bombed and and I guess than him -- guy. Time at running back. According to Titans coach Jeff Fisher there's a pretty good chance former golden boy -- young -- this week against the Colts Fisher added that most starters would play. But it wouldn't expect and remain in the game ask the first half and he locked into -- number 18. They'll have the by coach official and eighty given a few guys. On an extra week of -- or some -- which is interesting now one -- always that this year Indianapolis. Here's Chris what's the always conservative Tony Dungy said he wouldn't tailback too much. -- mainly concerned with protecting quote the guys were little banged up the guys or he probably won't play. What do you mean Michael good analyzer Chris Wesley -- he's going to -- back all right if history's any case expect it means reviewing the play a series this week. Before exit. So why -- Indianapolis is another team with. Up that a play for -- locked in the lead which means -- going -- Diego Ortiz Denver putting a winner that on a night game. And I would ought not to play -- in -- not like if the buying and they're going to happen next week for a this would be their opportunity to -- it that's it that's Tony Dungy Hideo. That's come back to haunt him in years past. A couple times. But look like maybe Peyton Manning plays somewhere between two series in the first half. I Joseph Addai who's battled injuries may -- doesn't get you to workload on this could I pick up Jim Sorgi. But this could be kind of game where you know if Tony Gonzales a major major part of the offense originally written. On those thoughts there as far as who's going to play this week who's not going to play like is that the top. On that problem we -- you just don't know some time with these coach's mind it's going to be on there are locked in to a spot. Very dark secret what going. Wrote a world doc -- look right now on. At the running back position and how things have gone this year. And it occurring to -- to you based on where things started the we're the year started where we are now. That DeAngelo Williams is really look at -- have the best year for running deck in the NFL right now. I thirteen 140 yards and touchdowns he leads the league in with those eighteen touchdowns and you know in that top six top eight Rangers -- yardage. But he's on such a ridiculous street De'Angelo Williams with Carolina. And to get to eighteen touchdowns on the year right now. Think about it and thereby. We had we not from weekends we Eckstein here in his game by game touchdown one. 214214. He's going 368. Straight games with a touchdown in among them. -- games with four he got eleven touchdown runs. Over the last four games just remarkable. And they're not playing. Last week four touchdowns against the giant in the Giants needed and -- avoiding. Against Tampa and we 1486. Yards and two touchdowns that Monday night against Green Bay the week before four touchdowns green it was still -- the time. The previous week and that -- a hundred yards and a touchdown. Against Arizona -- a 108 yards and a touchdown. Just a remarkable. Resurgence there for it -- Williams oh. We we give him the -- right now as far as the up and running back Michael Turner which probably the most Michael Turner. And and probably Brandon Jacobs most of the performers Michael Turner the year 1500 yards you'll get that -- nine. And sixteen touchdowns Thomas Jones a quietly this year nearly thirteen hundred yards and thirteen touchdowns. Brandon Jacobs over a thousand yards and fifteen touchdowns total little bit recent weeks but that 1515 touchdown total huge. And then you've got you know Adrian Peterson we're not forget about him he only has nine touchdowns it's only relative these other guys. Arm but he's going to close he's close in on 1700 yards so he is an opportunity maybe even -- hundred yard mark in a 140 read this week. Then you got the rookie. I should mention Clinton ports for 1400 yards and a touchdown you've got the rookie though and what year was rookie running back. Chris got over 1200 yards nine touchdown. Easily over 1100 yards near 1200 yards. Eight touchdowns. Kevin -- 884 yard seven touchdown. Annoyed that four era here Matt Forte almost 1200 yard eight touchdown. And got Kevin Smith I mention. Jonathan Stewart 777. Yards nine touchdowns and on the air with. I DeAngelo Williams and -- we in my wrist numbers not a rookie running back this year as we guys like Ladainian -- and start to slide. On. We recent years rookie John. On Alexander's and these guys -- like we know that rookies have our our running backs have a short shelf life. It's really amazing this year how many are rookie running back there are on some of whom have completely taken on the workload for their team like Matt Forte. Others -- tandem like Chris Johnson. And and Jonathan Stewart. And you know Chris Johnson is running mate there was LenDale White teams touchdowns -- year. I'll only record 48 yards but they'll get a lot of goal like -- that we look at some of these guys like forte was got. Ordered fifty yards and four touchdowns and -- that. Maurice Jones-Drew was twelve touchdowns rushing 555. Yards and two touchdowns receiving. Brian Westbrook 886 yards rushing and nine touchdowns and 390 yards -- evening and five touched. -- Tom is coming on strong Eric yet 125 yards and nine touchdowns. Georgia 84 yards receiving a three touchdown. -- I will -- the most disappointing guy on its gotta be Ladainian Tomlinson who's number one guy in a lot of leagues. Runner up in that category even Jackson. And I had no -- name is Marc Bulger there and Lewis I Jackson missed a handful of games in the season but only five touchdowns on the year for -- it was a first round pick. That was the appointment. And Joe -- dies another one who why I had a might. One of my game. I just it's a bad year for him for injury from -- Production point of view that game against Houston about 45 weeks ago really the only highlight yet who are two touchdowns 1 rushing 1 evening. Pretty down year for him but really the year of the rookie running back for short. And now all those guys are keeper up ability to all the matter rattled off. And -- the -- projects here for years the web radio Patriots -- commentary -- were here to take your emails we got one Morrow got a couple more. I don't get -- but there's certainly room for you here as well we're going to keep -- position by position recapping the year and other news and notes. Around the world of fantasy football we'll be right Beckett did -- to load."

[23:59]" Welcome back the fiftieth slowdown here on Patriots dot com radio today as you -- where we simply help people win championships. That's really what comes out do we help people win it this championship this for match. Below your shot he'll call last week proved to be a good one this weekend as I was able to capture the title. Lectures more thank the -- touchdown that Meyer Charles scored either way the fighting overmatched I pulled up six point victory to my season what first vault Nat. Congratulations will take down on the -- quarter credit maybe if -- credit. On up like I -- that team of every single week yeah and that has emailed me every single week and I think we -- the questions and I think we've given him the perfect advice. Each and every week and out without their. On without the help the lowdown. I think Matt -- would be in the bottom of the league. Must he went against your picks every weekend that the reason he -- There's a fantasy low I don't give her that Barrett. There would not set a -- it. Bring back yet to get vacation opened. Unbelievable. Unbelievable anyways Matt congratulations you were happy to help. We hope we truly have been of some help. And hate what can we say we won a championship. If you have a trophy let me Marion me particular Stanley Cup. You know can carry around for a couple days everybody -- ball. And that continues here is my season is over I don't think what regarding this weekend's game. But it you of one my quest for -- will hold me over until next season I -- keeper league and looking towards next year who do you think I should hang onto. I can keep three of the following players one of these kinds of questions that here we go here is -- possible odd guys you can keep three. Quarterback Shaun Hill and Matt -- Running back Ryan Grant and Marshawn Lynch. -- Larry Fitzgerald. He with the Carolina and Dwayne Bowe and and the eagles' -- And here's -- right now on the torch go -- Smith in either grant lynch I keep a quarterback but even in the -- I should be able to get someone in the draft. I mean I won the week with Shaun Hill who wasn't even a starter at the time this year's draft. They draw your fantasy and I helped me gain bragging rights until next batch of your slugger Jason the -- Were you gain brad. There you go I think we're right next year that's it because it -- a -- out where you can get game gray game. Brad got to got to tweak a little bit. -- apple and make it easier for your health I know I can't even out the date at five that fast. It's either going to be the -- down where you win championships. But it fancy -- where you gained brag like brag right because really -- comes down to a team or it's nice to winning the title. And out you know teaming whatever changeable. You know troll you get one of my league we actually get a football summoning graves it. It's really the brad."

[26:54]" Right really when it comes down to in the football offseason is pretty long and longer than you know other. Sports. Other sports. So you know right now you've got a solid eight months you get a solid eight months which is kind of victory months away only months before the next start but. You -- eight months. Before your next he begins have you can win a title. You know that -- for Brett anyways onto Matt actual question here about who he should hang -- I could not agree with him more on the quarterback. First of all I'm high on Sean Hill. Locker I think he's going to be ever to -- quarterback next year here's why they simply cannot afford. To take a quarterback in the first on the play after what happened out there. That they're not going to take quarterback hi did you -- too much pressure on that guy and too much room for error. I'm maybe they bring in veteran usual or whether that. Probably not Jeff Garcia but someone like Jeff Garcia. And maybe Alex Smith actually still is in the next I doubted. But I think Shawn Hill shown enough MO of course depends on who the coaches there and yet is there I think Shawn Hill started off that he should go into next season as the front runner. But that being the case. You cannot in good -- Keep on -- you could get Shaun Hill in the draft next year or Shaun Hill tighten draft you don't keep him. Job you know he's got average. Aram but I don't really think match Joba can and -- performer. NFL wise or fantasy wise to be legitimately considered keeper. So I don't really like either of these -- abilities at quarterback dom Nat are keepers and I agree with you that you could go into next year's draft. Thinking you know I'm going to -- quarterback somewhere and that. Third fourth. Fifth round you know -- on media Matt Cassel for someone whom young again have a change scenery bomb."

[28:54]" Could be you know on a team's radar on you know -- Donovan McNabb went in that category and then. Can't waiver wire or take a shot at a Sean Hill again or Tyler Thigpen or someone one of these up and coming guy or rookie like that writer Joe Flacco this year. And fill in the holes there in a -- a -- you can find that on hill I'll later in the -- the record agree with you more there. Also as we -- process of elimination I'm going to eliminate the Eagles -- I when he virtually any. -- eighty Baltimore may be Pittsburgh would be exceptions but he spent a week to week proposition. That probable almost of the mind that that we go to a draft. In you don't get one of the top draft in the did did top I'd be fit in the entire league. Pick a team that has a couple favorable matchup early and didn't go we don't we too weak but at the goal. You know."

[29:50]" Don't we haven't won the all year. -- have a -- you Baltimore expert that what eliminate Shaun Hill eliminate match I'll eliminate eagles' defense which leaves us with. The following five Ryan Grant Marshall lynch Larry Fitzgerald he met. He got five -- the one walk would be Larry Fitzgerald and Larry Fitzgerald. Is a great wide receiver. Most likely current quarterback with him next year. And he's going to be there another good offense he's younger guy there's no doubt right the year I would be wired year my number two. Close to a -- among your guy here would be Marshawn Lynch. And I went over -- I don't really like grant. I think grant is a little overrated at it again after the year last year was drafted two -- year. Tom but I'd rather you take. Say a rookie next year in the draft -- in the sixth or seventh round. I don't know -- that guys can Deke but there were eight or oh rookies worth having an eighteen year. On I'd rather you keep Marshawn Lynch. Who I think is going to continue to produce he hasn't had that monster year maybe that we thought he might have what he's been very good he produces. And you know even though that Buffalo offense staggered staggered down the stretch that -- I like their prospects threaten to pass accurately at this point right now. I go Larry Fitzgerald for sure I go Marshawn Lynch for shore. -- you likable torn between you missed it Dwayne -- that respectable as much as anyone he wrote it he can in. He's one of the top guys each and every week. And you know it seems like is good rhythm with Capel. But Dwayne Bowe on is really one of the upcoming star and when he was able to do have a productive year. With the ms. -- quarterback they had a mentality and -- has come on drawn on what we've both been able to do with. Got a lot of good help from his wide receivers has been pretty impressed. 919 yards and a touchdown three putted top a thousand yards and half say eight touchdowns. And very very bad. That up that he's up and coming. But you know what I've -- I've gotta I've got to go at -- again. On you might not feel like he's a keeper for multiple years com but I think it is -- top -- you know first round guy on even in next year's draft. Oh on odds are that long or short I -- I got three guys Soria. Larry Fitzgerald. Marshawn Lynch. He's met those of the guys that would keep my theory right there on. I'd like to if you agree I'd be happy to hear you if you're able to check in again. By email over the next twenty minutes -- what Brady a Patriot -- when you know that you know if you agree there what you said was -- lean towards the Gerald Anthony grant or when it is mostly an -- lynch. On western right there you gotta tell me you regret that pat. All the best. They request it over the course the year and you know hope we've helped and I hope we can help you with keepers there. Our -- on here with our opposition by position now -- will go to wide receiver which we we've just talked about will be. A handful of guys had more than ten touchdowns. Five guys the effort mentioned Larry Fitzgerald for Arizona ten touchdowns thirteen hundred yards. -- teammate Anquan Boldin was the leader eleven tied with Randy -- with eleven. Old with just over a thousand yards a -- is under a thousand yards put with a week ago I guess that's a good little battle there which guy will have the most touchdowns. And now which got a -- the most yards there. Ought to high yardage guy -- John 1400 yards I need to get back a couple more ten touchdown guys Terrell Owens and touchdowns 949 yards. And Calvin Johnson for Detroit and touchdowns 1229. Yards. And I'm a ball in the rest of the year with not a great team around him public -- what about those numbers I'm on a horrible. In his shortly horrible team with abysmal quarterback play. Odd that not -- Audrey Johnson 1400 yards and six touchdowns Greg Jennings. -- 1200 yards and nine touchdowns and how about this guy. As far as the surprise a positive way former. Roddy White for 800 yards and touchdowns catching passes from rookie Matt Ryan who wise had sensational year. Roddy White by the -- performer wide receiver and meant to mention nearing thirteen yard touchdown. On love what Antonio Bryant at seven touchdowns. -- 1200 yards Reggie Wayne yet another thousand yards in Jackson emerging guide India or a thousand yards. Briton mark started out and finishes with twelve yards and touchdowns. And then of course Wes Welker here doing. Over 1100 yards -- the three touchdowns which. As far as Doug wide receivers go pretty low but he's going to beat the I'll -- probably reception -- you point for a exceptionally 109. I figured he brought in at least 115 on the year on -- related to your -- NFL this year. That pretty -- You have to say the most disappointing wide receiver -- Braylon Edwards. So many drop. On 870 yards and likely get 2000 yards. Only three touchdown. And certainly days and the expectations for Braylon Edwards and Cleveland offense. A dismal dismal campaign for Edwards. On a lot to be concerned about there if you have Braylon resign team enter into it may be having keeper I'm not very good. Gotta like the guy or you're like dirt for Derrick Mason Raikkonen had 2000 yards and 960 right now at five touchdowns. I'm Isaac Bruce with a bit of research in 127 yards and seven touchdowns. And I mentioned Dwayne -- or earlier he's got a chance -- thousand yard your second year. And seven touchdowns. On so definitely -- an interesting year wideout on a lot of the studs that you know you're you're out of it and -- hyper done you know top performers wore. Boldin and Fitzgerald Randy Moss. -- to a certain extent and Reggie Wayne. And you've got the emerging guys rated Marshal Vince Jack one clue what walker in that group Roddy White Greg Jennings. The quietly can a guy he meant. Andre Johnson. On and then -- And you know so so. You know depending on how -- you have on your team. On -- hard if you get to 34. Wideout. If you start that many because it was only a merry go round. On and you just don't go week to week who who's going to be targeted the most. On put it in place -- nine at wide receiver. On this year so wide media as though -- at you at this point I'd Roddy White. One of my game likely price oddly erect. Outlook outlook wicket at tight ends and no surprise that Tony Gonzales right there at the top both -- yardage. -- receptions in terms and you want to catch a 1005 yards. Ninth touchdown eyes he'd most likely barring any thing unforced will be able you're among tight ends and all of those categories this year. On other guys were two huge years Antonio. 655 yards out. Tell Clark 789 yard touchdown in Witten. 902 yards and four touchdowns however questionable this week on he may not playing for Dallas of those might be his grand total for the year I'm. For a positive perspective. I was most impressed with -- in Seattle I mentioned by title record year 113 yards five touchdowns a lot of those out stretch. On article while a guy at quarterback. Odds are very very impressed with him. And all Anthony Fasano who had kind of a coming out party Patriots in that we agree on the wildcat and Ford fifteen yards and he told a touchdown. And it's a disappointment perspective I'm I'm going to go to tie your between he Miller. And talent -- very similar that from a fan perspective Iran target both had three touchdown both and that ordered. Just over between ordered forty yards. On over very the point there and I guess -- keep Jeremy Shockey and -- I'm more injury a reason for him but. Doesn't score one or you're in the world -- world giving up I believe -- second round pick that you know world champion giant. I'm for a grand total 43 yards and no touchdowns and a terrible there.

[44:15]" It's week seventeen in the NFL season it's championship week in some fantasy -- that if you load out here to get you that. -- this week we're going through like different positions position my position in talking about. The best does he ends up around the league so real quick we wrap it up with the -- and there's really the Big Three in my opinion. It then there was everyone else. Baltimore Tennessee and Pittsburgh. As far as points allowed. Not really any of the team keep close."

[44:45]" There are all below 201. Points allowed which over a fifteen over Eckstein he's grabbed fifteen right now. On you're looking at you know an average of in the 1718. I'm sorry an average of 1012 point game. Really low point totals are allowed I'm Baltimore 24 interceptions as a team. Six fumble recoveries Tennessee twenty interceptions eleven fumble recoveries. As a team. -- eight interceptions nine fumble recoveries that team. -- you -- a few that you've got to give credit to hear. Tampa today. A solid defensive season 21 pick under 300. The Bears had a lot of interceptions. -- headed an interception for a fumble recovery but a lot of points given up Tom. And sort kind of depends on what -- the guy Witten viewpoint what -- what categories your league depends on the molester or -- most gut it out. You know and then no surprise really the worst. Teams in the league have the worst defensive teams like the Rams in the the dangles. And then got him you know surprising teams you know a team like. On you know. Just like EI. Packers had a pretty solid defense this year on but not a real good team overall but -- got a team like you know the the red -- defense this year. Patriots statistically not -- he ends up -- like -- said earlier in my opinion on defense is is on you know. If you can have a have a chance early on to get a Baltimore Pittsburgh and -- seem like that. You don't want to go too early in the draft but it took a chance -- right with them all the way -- If you don't get one of the big teams they're weeded out. I -- if you hidden gem a team that has an easy schedule early -- of the week -- offense is. Our run with that team for couple weeks mix -- check out the waiver wire who's playing St. Louis he was playing Cincinnati or whatever team is that week. That's what you do it definitely. Points. You know there's some unbelievable games in the NFL this week on from a on an NFL playoff team point. On I think ten of the sixteen games have major playoff implications. And that's not even including Detroit. -- the triggering -- game which is no weapon vacations but major historical implications of Detroit can go in the team. On but did you know teams in my opinion. From a pianist he can't your point I Carolina and a -- can Drew Brees at that 5000 yard mark. Can DeAngelo Williams continue this one Carolina's in the playoffs but they can really get the number two seed with a win. On that put the ball DeAngelo Williams I can't I love that came from a -- point of view. Tom. Seattle and Arizona if true that can with not plans to play all of his name guys this week. Does Arizona go to our. Offensively against Seattle. And Seattle you know maybe this will be an emotional let down kinda -- for them. Winning that game last week the home finale to Mike Holmgren home finale. But now maybe a bit of elect down -- and -- travel there out of the playoffs on the you don't really come to play all that much. Mom and then you know another one that I'm looking at closely is Giants and Minnesota. Adrian Peterson. Does he play have -- and I think -- eighty does does Derrick Ward if he's playing that a Brandon Jacobs if you're an of a free agent pick up you need to make this week. Maybe Derrick Ward you guys. -- that's an interesting one as well. You know as we wrap things up here with -- I'm struck by a few things in the world famous sports talked about rookie running back -- was a year of the rookie running back. Tight end it was the year of depth at tight end Tony Gonzales was died. You can get a guy like John Carlson -- and happy -- guys later on that kind of induct me. And that quarterback. Remember talking way back at the beginning of the year like when Tom Brady goes down Matt Cassel steps and on only depth update their opportunities and got their opportunities here. And you've got like Matt Cassel who got in. I -- nowhere becomes really almost in the top ten top twelve and he QB out week in and week out. Bob Tyler Thigpen or in my opinion had a productive year and -- and take -- for Brodie Croyle and and Damon Huard and has a promising year I mean there might be some promise there with him. And then you've got the major major disappointments. On the guys who get bench or injured on early on. Alex Smith. You know Vince Young who starts he's as a starter into his miserable. I'm so those three things really and -- to me when I think back on the European football. Is the variations at quarterback how the guys who going into the season you think you're going to be -- and the guys who are at the end of the year. That the parity there at the discrepancies there is really. Unbelievable hard to predict. Some because of injuries and because of poor performance the rookie running back and how many of them their work who proved to be week in week out starters. And then how much depth there was a tight and it you do have to worry feuding getting Antonio Gates or Gonzales -- did not have the war. I'm a few tips as you're starting right away to plan out your keeper. Keep running back keep young running back is the way I feel. I think a guy like Matt Forte. Five years from now need the a guy who quickly. -- because of the heavy workload is going to have early in his career. But if you have Matt Forte that's a guy you want your fantasy team next year because you know he's going to get the carries and you -- he's going to get him in -- continue to produce. In my opinion."

[50:34]" If you've got guys like he's -- Chris Johnson. Jonathan Stewart you're gonna want to keep them through but you don't want to understand that there -- number might not be. All that much different next year because of how much those teams thrive on having those duo at running keep that in mind. Quarterback. There were only a handful quarterback that I you can -- that you should keep. Rogers -- Rivers Cutler those are really the -- right here who you know organ and -- the climate you can you can be on the same team. They get some of the same. Why don't have -- back."

[51:11]" You can really want those guys. -- not so much. In these others like Matt Cassel. Tyler Thigpen you -- it really want to keep them. Real quick a wide receiver. It's all about Brandon Marshall. Brandon Marshall is your he wide receiver keeper. He's going to have maybe the best quarterback next year pro ball and jay color. He's a rising are. Any big numbers this year. I really like Brandon Marshall for. Those are few quick tips. The games here -- in the end. I think them very much for all the help that they had the year. And we are started discussing how -- producers chose in the offseason so be sure to check out Patriots dot com. What may have information on that we go ahead. I feel like going to great successful first year the fancy -- out -- great yet. Odds are great. And now we hope we -- it was -- driven we had fun. People pretend to think that I'm an expert called me he can all that. I just try to give my thoughts and that's all we do. -- Brian Lowe has been and low down we thank you very vocal again and you out privately the Patriots go here in the playoffs -- like you. If you're you're in a league championship and we haven't. -- great."
