 Hey, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman, your day by Jim Sonnes of Fandle. I'm just here to talk about the players whose stock are rising here as we head into week seven. Two more games to go in week six. Let's chat about this past Sunday. What's going on, Jim? It's not too bad, Greg. And honestly, it feels a little bit like, you know, 2015 or 2016. We're talking about Rob Gronkowski in a positive light, Matt Ryan's doing well. DeAndre Swift was probably in high school back then. So maybe we can exclude him from this conversation, but, you know, it's a bit of a throwback here. It is. What is old is new again. And that brings us to Tampa Bay with our first Gronk spike in years. And that's exactly what happened on Sunday afternoon. Gronk finished with 16.3 fan dual points. And with O.J. Howard out for this season with Mike Evans, kind of irrelevant with Chris Gowen in the lineup, Rob Gronkowski took on a bigger role on Sunday and maybe going forward, he's someone we need to look at. Yeah, I think part of it is that his role was actually underrated even before this game, because in the first game without O.J. Howard, we saw Rob Gronkowski get to 50 receiving yards. And that's kind of like a big threshold for me at tight end, because I want tight ends who can get yardage. I don't want the Jimmy Graham or Kyle Riddle, five guys who might score a touchdown. I want guys who can get yards and Gronkowski did that. He exceeded 50 yards back in week five, did it again here in week number six, getting up to 78 yards. And that's what can happen when you get downfield targets. Gronkowski actually has six downfield targets in the past four games that is in addition to five red zone targets. He had two of each of those on Sunday. So his role is actually not that bad. I came into the year thinking that Gronk was totally toast and I'm okay being wrong on that, because I think that he is, he's proven me wrong there for sure. The word of caution is that like you said, Mike Evans hasn't done a whole lot. One of those games for Gronk was relevance was a game with no Chris Godwin. So once we get Evans off that ankle injury, he can be a little bit healthier, not facing a cornerback like Jair Alexander. And once Godwin's more worked into the offense, Gronk's probably going to be floating around that 50 receiving yard mark each and every game. There'd be six or so targets and that does make him shaky for sure for DFS. This is not the Rob Gronkowski of old, but he is relevant for DFS. And I didn't think that Gronk was that before. So this is a big change of pace for me where I was previously not super willing to include Gronk, but I think now in two games with no OJ Howard, we've seen this role be pretty good for Gronkowski and Tom Brady is playing good football. And I think that's enough to make Gronkowski DFS relevant for the first time in a very long time. I was with you, Jim. I wanted nothing to do with Rob Gronkowski coming into this season without OJ Howard. I've been proven incorrect and that's okay. Getting in on Gronkable season long and DFS right now makes a lot of sense. You're looking for safe options slowly, but surely Gronk is becoming just that. Over the past decade, Matt Ryan's been a pretty safe option for the Atlanta Falcons as their quarterback. He plays every game. You know who he's going to chuck the ball to. And you tweet a lot about Jim, how it's awesome knowing where targets are going. And in this Atlanta offense, that's exactly what you know with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, a little bit of Russell Gage here and there, and even Hayden Hurst. And Matt Ryan is the quarterback of that offense and is a fine quarterback both season long and DFS because this offense, well, it's always moving. He scored a 31.6 fan dual points yesterday. And I just don't see it slowing down, especially as Julio Jones continues to get healthy. That is the key there, Greg. As long as Julio Jones is healthy, I expect Matt Ryan to be very relevant for daily fantasy because he can put up big scores like he did on Sunday because there are past 70 team who need to score points because their defense is just hideous and Matt Ryan is just a different quarterback when Julio is out there and the three games Julio Jones has played a full compliment of snaps this year. Ryan is averaging 0.42 passing that expected points per dropback, which is basically the best in the league. If it were as full season number, the reason it's not the best in the league is because he's at negative 0.02 when Julio has been out or limited. That's a really bad number. So Ryan with Julio, awesome quarterback, Ryan without Julio, pretty bad quarterback. So as long as Julio Jones is healthy, Matt Ryan is a very relevant daily fantasy play. So as long as Julio Jones stays healthy, we can bank on Matt Ryan. He's had at least 24.9 Fando points and all three games Julio has played. He's exceeded 28 in two of those three and they get the Lions at home next week. So we're going to talk about Matt Ryan, we're going to talk to Matthew Stafford. That game is going to be a delight for daily fantasy, even if the real football may not be as great. It's going to be a fun one for sure that I am positive. We'll talk about when Friday rolls around. So Matt Ryan, whenever Julio is out there, he is someone we need to keep an eye on because Julio just changes the entire complexion of this offense in a good way for Ryan Ridley and everyone else. This connection between Julio Jones and Matt Ryan has been together for a really long time and on that second touchdown on Sunday, you saw the improvisation of Julio Jones to find his way into the end zone as Matt Ryan was scrambling and Julio Jones just looking healthier. This offense is just moving so much more fluidly and it's not as haphazard as we've seen. Julio Jones looked good yesterday and as long as he looks good and is able to stay on the field and stay healthy, the sky is the limit for Matt Ryan. Just like we've seen over the past several years, it doesn't change, certainly not this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. And speaking of the Lions, let's get to Deandre Swift, who yesterday put up almost 26 fangirl points while the carries weren't exactly there and the timeshare with Adrian Peterson is still real. Deandre Swift looked fantastic. My only question to you though, Jim, is the reason that we saw so much of Deandre Swift was because the Lions are playing from ahead all game long. Well, let's talk about this because there are a lot of dimensions to this Deandre Swift dilemma because his stock is up. That's why he's in the section. Stock up, Deandre Swift stock is definitely up. Stock perfect, Deandre Swift would not be there because there's still some some caution flags here. Let's go through the points for reservation first. If you look at just the first three quarters before this game really got out of hand, it was split 10 to 10, 10 carries for Deandre Swift, 10 carries for Adrian Peterson. So it wasn't just garbage time, Swift was getting work early on. So that could be a good thing. But like you said, Adrian Peterson is still there. He had 10 carries in those first three quarters. And Swift also played just 38% of the snaps. So that's why we can't say Deandre Swift is a locked in DFS. You want to use every single week even with a great matchup against Atlanta coming up. That's why we still need to be cautious with Deandre Swift. But like we talked about Chase Claypool last week, sometimes when you produce, you can earn yourself additional volume in the future. I assume that less with the Lions than with any other team, like I'm not going to have faith that they're going to choose a better guy because they've proven to be that they're not going to do that every single time. However, that sometimes can happen and Swift showed on Sunday, he is a very talented player who can put up big totals when you get in that volume. The other good thing with Deandre Swift is that the volume he is getting is the kind of volume we want. He's had at least four targets and four or five games so far this year, including four targets in Sunday's game. He also had three carries inside the five yard line on Sunday. Adrian Peterson did have a one yard touchdown. So it's not as if Adrian Peterson is just gone, but they did show trust into Deandre Swift on the goal line, which we don't always see with guys like this, especially with a guy like Adrian Peterson is still with the team. So three goal line carries, 14 total carries, four targets, that's a lot. And if we can get some of that volume from Adrian Peterson or from carry on Johnson shifted over towards Deandre Swift, he could be a guy who produces without a ton of volume because he gets a kind of volume we want specifically coming through the air. So no, Deandre Swift is not a guy we can just lock in no matter what in daily fantasy now, even in a good match with the Falcons. However, I am willing to consider Deandre Deandre Swift in daily fantasy now, whereas I wasn't before. So Deandre Swift stock is up. There are still some definite caution flags here, but I think you can have some sprinkles of him this upcoming week. And if he does get more carries away from Adrian Peterson, his stock could take off in a hurry. So still not a complete profile, but it's definitely getting better. And I think it at least makes Swift interesting for right now. I think it's undeniable that Deandre Swift stock is rising. I don't know if we want to just call it off yet, but it's rising and it's something that hopefully Matt Patricia doesn't get in the way of because Deandre Swift is an early round draft fake. He is somebody that lines have invested in and fantasy owners have invested in him as well. And while Adrian Peterson, I think deserves a role on the team. This should be Deandre Swift's show. And hopefully in the coming weeks, it will be hopefully that talent for last week and what we saw last week will produce going forward. And certainly this week, as you said against Atlanta, we saw Chase Clay will do it two weeks in a row and not four touchdowns, two weeks in a row, but certainly fantasy goodness in back to back contests. Hopefully the same is true for Deandre Swift. That's going to do it for us here on the panel hurry. Jim, we appreciate the time. Good luck this week. Same to you, Greg. Fun two games playing on tap for tonight. So I can't complain. It's going to be a good weekend, a good way to kick things off and hopefully wash the bad taste out of my mouth from what was a pretty bad week six for me. I wish I could wash the taste out of this season, Jim, because it's just been like that all year long. Tom Beckial will join me on the program tomorrow as we take a look at the top stars on the week seven slate on FanDuel. For Jim Sanis, I'm Greg Sausman. Thank you so much for watching. Enjoy the double dose of Monday Night Football tonight, and we'll see you back here tomorrow for another edition of the Fan Deliria.
