All right. The CFF All Access Live stream is alive tonight, and I can tell you what, I cannot be more excited. I was just telling the boys before the show, my wife officially broke her foot on Friday. My son got stitches last Sunday in his foot. I'm just excited to get a little reprieve from like being everything, be mom, dad, everything for the last 48 hours. So I'm here just talking ball. Hopefully my head will be clear. Proton, J.D.

How are you guys doing? Better than me? I get, well, comparatively, yeah, I'd say almost everybody listening to this show. You, Mr. Chival. Yeah, yeah. Fortunately, you know, all my limbs are intact. Still out there playing softball.

As I mentioned, you guys, 15 from the last 15, it's playoffs. Let's go. At the Pacific Beach Recreation Center, and reping the PV Pub like we always do, the best softball team, the best bar, San Diego. So, yeah, I'm pretty excited about it.

But hey, dude, as always with college football, like the NFL, the NFL thinks it's all wild. Like, oh, my God, I'm saying, but Checoe, he broke his fiddle out. And all these things like, dude, we get 15 of those a week, all right? Relax NFL people. The world is not falling. It happens all the time. We're used to this.

So act like you've been there before. Let's go show the NFL fans how it's done. Yeah. Exactly. J.D., how you doing, man? I'm doing great. As always, week three on the show for me. I'm feeling good. I think we're getting stronger by the minutes. And we're here, Josh, you know, and Josh is struggling. We got you. Isn't that right, pro, Todd?

Pick him up. That's right. That's right. It's a team here on CFF All Access Podcast. And when Josh and or his wife or children are down, we pick them up. So that's why we're here to crank out some way from lighter goodness. I love it. And hey, like the other thing that gets us going is comments in the chat. We love to interact with you guys. And so, man, hit up the questions.

We will hit them as we get going. I want to ask you guys, you know, we're going to get right into content. Week three, right? We're three weeks in the book. We're on to week four now. And so we have a little bit of data behind us. Is there any big observations that you guys have, you know, a few weeks into the sea? We're a quarter of the season done almost.

What big observations you guys have coming into week four? As far as big observations, gosh, I would say we've talked about it four a couple of times. Pitt is humming and moving at, frankly, a breakneck pace. I think we're seeing that injuries and poor performance are affecting the teams up and down the dial. Specifically, Utah. up. All right. So anything we were thinking about in terms of the Utah passing game,

that has now been eradicated. I watched Isaac Wilson, again, the elite 11, there it is, saw him throw during his day one. And while Danny O'Neill, according to my friend J.T.O. Sullivan, had one of the worst day one performances of all time. I think Isaac Wilson is my all time. Number one, worst day one passing performances. I have no faith on him delivering the all time.

ball, Franklin. And then on the other side, like, here comes Alex Orgy. All right, it's time. Michigan, this is not the Michigan of 2023. I'm expecting them to be in Michigan in 2023, which was probably a little bit too much. Even directing them in the top 15 was probably a little erroneous. But that's how we learn. And that's how we, you know, figure these things out. And, you know, I'm excited. It won't happen this week. But occasionally, I won't. I want to see Miami against somebody who isn't Florida's defense or an FCS or this week they got South Florida. Like, South Florida was pretty good against Alabama. But we'll see.

Hopefully South Florida can do something because that offense ain't stopping. We now have Cam Ward is the Heisman favorite. We could read out again. Cam Ward's the Hyseman favorite. Crazy. I mean, here we are. So I love college football. I love the randomness of it.

And I'm here for all the men's. Yeah. I want to talk about that USC Michigan. a game later in the show, get you all's opinion on that spread and just your thoughts on that overall game because I think that's going to be an interesting one with the current spread.

So, J.D., overall thoughts, first three weeks of the season. I think the macro one that I'm taken away is the continuation of last year's rules with the clock changes and the games moving faster. I think I took a while to make an adjustment on that last year, And I think there's even more of an adjustment with the helmet communications and some teams really opting to just kind of slow the game down.

So trying to get a read on teams, we have a small sample size of data. And sometimes you're playing from behind, playing from ahead. You're playing some non-conference teams. Sometimes it's hard to trust the data because there's certain teams that are just going to sit on you, man. They get a lead like Penn State with West Virginia. They're just going to sit on the ball, wait until it's one, every play. And then explosive or two, other than that, they're just sitting on the ball. they know they're better than you.

So that's one thing I'm really adjusting. The pace of the college game has changed. Even when you get these studs in your lineup, your trust in the volume, if their team only has six possessions and they're playing from behind, it's tough to trust some of these stud running back. So it's always been true,

but just even more so making adjustments for something that's a little different. This is phenomenal point. And frankly, yeah, it's absolutely one of those things that should have been mentioned. I'm just ashamed that I didn't say it. Well done, JD.

But there's no. way to get around it. Do you see in some teams who have three possessions and a half now, depending on the pacing and how good the other team is at ball control? Are you kidding me? We were getting 11, 12 drives a game right as rain in the previous system. Now, we're looking at maybe eight or nine sometimes. That is, that is just, it's more than I think I'd even expected. I feel like it's even more than last year when the changes were implemented. Yeah, that's such a good point. I wonder when we get the end of this year, if we'll look at and just see the overall CFF scores each week and overall points for teams are going to be down year over year.

And just see what is the impact of this on players? I think that's a great point. I mean, even the, yeah, the fact that there are a lot of these good offenses aren't hiking the ball until 15 seconds or less because they can communicate with the OCs with the player. You know, that's a really good point. Bobby, Bobby over here said he bought Wi-Fi on his flight. She has to tune in that you're some of the best people in the business. shout out to us. Love you, Bobby.

Thank you, sir. Yeah, my brother. That's how you get a shout out. Start the show right there, Bobby. That freaking, that makes my week for sure. Bobby, I, you know, I don't know if you heard the beginning, but had a rough weekend. So I appreciate that. Hey, we're going to take a quick break.

And then I'm going to come back with a few observations myself and then get right into waiver wire talk. All right. So I think my big observation is that basically through three weeks, like CFF is going to CFF. And the fact that, all right, let's look at this. John Meteer is the QB1. And I think his ADP was like round 20 in our best ball drafts in the offseason. And then you got at wide receiver, you got Nick Nash, who I think he's like round 24, round 25 as CFF wide receiver won. Yeah. I mean, averaging of 40 points a game, which is absurd. And so it's like we spend all this

time in the offseason. And this is why I think CFF is so much better than NFL is that these guys are coming in and guys that we are, again, we're drafting at the end of drafts. You wouldn't even draft them in an NFL redraft league. And they are league winners. So I think this is why we love the sport, right? And WaverWire is such a big deal. Yeah.

Have you guys noticed that about any other players that you're like, wow, this guy was a late round pick and now he's like a key contributor to winning teams yeah the number two wide receiver behind nicknath tie pelton you know i mean case and point right there and with him um it's funny two years ago at the combine i spoke with rakeem jerry i think i'm going to mix in this last but i spoke to i'm asking him my my favorite question which is who's next in the maryland wide receiver room who's the next one to be an NFL caliber wideout. And this is two years ago, 2022. So, like, Ty Felton was off the radar completely here.

And he said, without a doubt, it's Todd Felton. He's like, Ty Felton hasn't. He's got to be, just give him some time. He's going to develop. And here we are. That Maryland offense doing what is traditionally done. They throw the ball. And I've watched quite a bit of Billy Edwards.

And he is, without a doubt in my mind, I've seen Talia Tagavai Lola, of plenty of times he's better than Talia like and he's running that offense more crisp Felton and Prather both look awesome I mean that's what they do and you certainly don't run the ball we know that fading Roman enemy boy of props all-American so um you know pretty excited to talk Felton too yeah that's good jd you got anybody that sticks out to you just if you guys do like seem interesting and wasn't really sure whether to fully trust like mityer was a good one you know guys like dev and dan pier it's like you can highlight so many guys who the system seems

pretty good but you have no idea whether or not you can trust the player and sometimes they come out looking like dequan thin okay you don't care how fast baler's offense is going to operate uh it looks like fin's going to ride the bench even if he is healthy and then sometimes they end up being uh geo lopez i know he's played two terrible defenses but uh john meteer dev and dampier these guys uh it's just tough you have to make some really quick adjustments uh like was i totally wrong on this guy is it just going to take a week or two for the scheme to develop? And when they come out just on fire, and then you match that with the scheme that all the research shows you on the off season.

You can adjust your priors pretty quickly. Yeah. You've gone through some running backs too. Desmond Reed, tippity, tippy, top of the list for the running backs that were, you know, Averwire guys, Caleb Johnson. It was him or with Sean Williams, which one's going to be? He came out on top. Definitely Henry Parr.

Chasity mentioned old miss who knew he wasn't it was we were getting famous famous you know we were obviously getting some Logan digs thrown in there obviously ulysses s bentley um stonewell jackson was probably in there who knows i mean everybody who's getting drafted except for himry parry and then um anthony tias with ohio with richard hunt having that big you know end of the season surge Anthony Tides comes in and takes that job and is the number 10 running back. Yeah. I think that's such a great point. And I think one of the other things that sticks out to me this year, I think, you know,

more than other years even is the way that this playoff system might be affecting the way that really good teams are losing their top players, for example, Texas, right? Like they're just going to sit Jadon Blue for the next two weeks. He could play. But because they need them long term in the season, I think even, I mean, you've seen it with other players. Texas is a good example. I think Georgia is another one. But these teams that are planning on playing the playoffs, so they're going to play 17 games.

They're essentially like treating this like a preseason. And I think in CFF, I, you know, I think we're feeling that effect a little bit. Miami's the same way. Damien Martinez, this last week, we got three carries against Ball State because they just blew them out so quickly. And they didn't need them. And so that's an interesting part to me that, again, I don't know how to quantify that yet. But it seems like it's making it a big deal, at least at these schools that are better, if that makes sense. Have you guys noticed that at all too?

Or is that just me? Robin Lembert was out in halftime, you know, for Notre Dame. They were up 42 to nothing on Purdue, and they were just like, all right, this is obvious. So this team is helpless. Yeah, you know what this is? It's load management. It's literally what it is. You saw the season before with Jimmy or Gibbs, where the first three, four games before they hit SEC play,

less than 10 campus each of those games. Didn't, save a new. He wasn't messing around with Gibbs. He's like, you know, he's sub 200 pounds, but he's, oh. electric. He saw it happen with Waddle before. He's like, we don't need to have anybody kind of put themselves into arms way. And you see in that. And who's to blame them? But you do have to factor that in your caps of these lopsided non-con games that we see. Yeah, I think that's good. J.D., you have any thoughts on this topic?

Yeah, it just, it's always been something I've tried to factor into my capping more than my opponents is trying to find like games that aren't blowouts. Okay, so a high total and a lower spread. But now more so than ever, man, just so many good guys burning you. And they might not even have a bad week, but if they're playing one half, you know, unless they're running for three touchdowns like Riley Leonard, you know, sometimes you see competitive non-conference games on a person's schedule and you say, oh, they have a tougher schedule this year.

And sometimes that means actually maybe they might play the whole game instead of sitting a half or just sitting on a whole game entirely. So, yeah, I absolutely think it has to be mentioned. That's something in the sport and we'll likely see more of it every year. Yeah. No, that's really good. Yeah. You know, speaking of all this, you know, I want to get into our waiver wires because, again, I think the waiver wire is as relevant as ever with the transfer portal and kind of this new season that we're in of college football.

And so there's lots of options this week getting into it. Let's do this. I want to get a, I'll go to Shane's question first. Bobby, I see your question. and we'll get to that a little bit later. Maybe we'll have a little props talk scenario that we can share with you. But with Shane, who would you guys prioritize first between Sumo and Billy Lucas? So Sumo from Kentucky, obviously, and then Billy Lucas from Liberty.

Eric, I'll let you answer this first. Then, J.D., you can comment as well. Who are you prioritizing this week? Oh, geez. I mean, out of these guys that Wilkin, that Jojo Maches, oh, I'm sorry, shame. Ah, my bad. The thing is in Sumo is we know that he's going to get those carriers, right? That's a lot.

I actually put him in me into on my props plays to be an over 13 and a half carries. And like, that was just, that was just math, that that was going to happen against Georgia, because we knew that Van der Gryth, and I think that will probably be the case again. I don't trust. They're not going to try to let him throw the ball too much. Like, that's not happening. He was an under as well with his passing arm. He was at 1.30 and a half.

He was in one-thirty-and-a-half. He only got to like 116, 118. I think you see a similar script. I don't think, you know, from what I'm, I understand, I don't think we're going to see train him back this week. So I just think with the load, I know that Sumo is going to get and the advantage they'll have in the line. I kind of lean. Yeah, that's good.

What about you, J.D? I'm kind of prioritizing Billy Lucas this week. I'm thinking it might be the top pickup or one of the top pickups. There's a lot of volatility. So I think Sumo's a lot safer and I do think Sumo is a good option as well. Both these guys came in and had 20 carries last week. But hearing what Chadwell said about Cooley, he said something like it's not looking good and he used it in the same sentence as another guy on the team who he said is going to be out for the year.

Basically said Cooley also isn't looking good. You could take that a few ways. does that mean he's not looking good for this week or for this season? I don't know. But Liberty offense has a lot to figure out. At the end of the day, we have a pretty good track record that they're going to score points and they're going to be playing on in the conference USA. And if I can get, I don't know, four or five weeks of Billy Lucas being the RB1

for a team that's not really throwing the ball much at all right now, I think there's like a really high upside with Billy Lucas. I think he could basically be your Quentin Cooley, that was going in the first five rounds of some drafts. So higher volatility, I think both are great plays. And yeah, I'm not the highest chip training them guy. I was in the past, but I haven't seen it in the last couple of years. And if Demi Sumo is getting 20 carries against Georgia and looking pretty good.

And that offensive line was one that really underperformed the last few years. They made some changes there at Kentucky. And going into the year, I thought, well, the offensive line stinks and they don't have Ray Davis. Why would I be interested in Chip? But the offensive line has been great. And they were able to get a little push against Georgia. their top 40 in line yard stuff rate 17th and front seven havoc looking a lot better so yeah i agree with proton they're going to give demi sumo all they can handle yeah that's so fascinating again going

to the year we're like man demi sumo he looks pretty jag back in north kina state and then he comes here and obviously he's doing the magic of the portal you know reborn all of a sudden i know so staying on the on the theme of billy lucas uh jojo in here three Hours early. He said, I'm thirsty. And he had a question. So we need to honor this question. Is Billy Lucas the top ad at running back? He also lists other people that are available in his league. So Hankerson from Oregon State, Ontario Brown, and then from Northern Illinois, Jan Miller from Alabama. And then Sanders, I think I'm blanking on. I think Eli Sanders for New Mexico maybe. Okay. Eli Sanders from New Mexico are all available.

So would you guys take Billy Lucas over any of these other guys, Hankerson Sanders, Brown, or Miller? Hankerson splitting carries with jam. You know, I like, looking at wrong, I like the Hankajam combo. Who doesn't love Hank a Jam? But, you know, the other side of that is Jam Miller is over here, too. So it's like, Jim Miller is pretty attractive. He seems to be getting those Alabama carries.

I mean, I obviously like Justin Haynes, too. It looks like the board seems to trust Miller. So you have to respect that the potency of the Alabama offense. So if I had to drop one, you know, in order, I would probably lean Jim Miller out of that foresome. I would take Lucas over Hankerson without a doubt. Ontario Brown is in the 23rd ranked, you know, NIU's backfield. and they're like lean on that defense. Thomas Hammock is a running back and everything.

You have to hold on to him, but I'd probably take really Lucas Overhamerson. That's good. J.D. Yeah, I think Ontario Brown shouldn't really be an ad. He should be rostered everywhere at 33 and a half points against Notre Dame. Yeah, Jam too, right? Like all these guys, what's this league?

Yeah. And I know if you. Chajaj, can we join? Yeah, I'm confused. I think maybe Jam 2. Billy Lucas, again, high volatility. I could easily see him be in the RB2 here out of this group. But, yeah, I think Jan Miller, Lucas, and Brown should be rostered everywhere.

I'd put Brown one. I guess Lucas, too, Jan Miller, three, but, yeah, close on the two and three. Hankerson and Sanders, whatever, are they French guys? Yeah, yeah, I like all of those. I'm with you guys. Yeah, probably around the middle of those lists behind Brown and Miller for the same reasons you guys said. So don't have anything different there. We're going to start going down the list here, though.

of our QBs, and then running back, squad receivers, and tight ends on our waiver wire options, our preferred options this week. So, J.D, we'll start with you. You want to get your top QB waiver wire out of the week? Yeah, sorry, you took the proton approach this week. I just had a lot of guys. I was looking at it and I listed. Do that.

I liked a lot of guys of pro. So let's do it. And it would be one, of course, let's re-mentioned him. Alan Bowman, you'd be remiss if you didn't mention Alan Bowman, that the guy's 12% own. He's averaging over 30 fantasy points per game. he has three really good wide receivers to throw to, and we all know that it's a very experienced offense, and they're going to move fast, and it's Mike Gundy.

So, Alan Bowman, other than that, Emmett Brown on San Jose State, that offense is throwing the ball, chucking the ball, averaging 9.8 yards per attempt. They're throwing it downfield. I like that, and the defense might get taken advantage of the Mount West play. So it could be a shootout team. Tyler Huff, Josh mentioned him last week. I thought it was a great call.

7% owns Jacksonville State. And we already know, Rich Rodd's going to run the crap out of his QB, and they're going to run his plays. And right now the defense looks way worse than the last year. So Tyler Huff is kind of just like a freebie guy who, honestly, I might start a few weeks here and there. Belkamp at Western Kentucky, yeah, he's an upgrade over Finley. I feel pretty tough saying that.

He looks great. He can run the ball. Comedy out of the ball game. We barely seen him. And when we've seen him, he looks tremendous and looks like a great CFF guy. And last but not least, we're going to get a little bit off the path. Bert Emanuel has the upside to be a top five QB in fantasy.

Who knows if he's going to play, but he's finally on the injury report is questionable, and Joey Labus might average like five interceptions here. So I don't think he can hold that job for super long. So if you have a spot and you need a quarterback, or you just want some high upside from action, I think he'd be rostered if you have. Joey lay boss to the bone.

Yeah, he's in rough shape. That's that's like a good thing. follow with Emmanuel. Emmanuel's definitely falling under the radar. So well done there. Other than the guys that my friend, J.D. articulated,

obviously, Gabe Belkamp is on everyone's. Just, I would think he's pretty much the one. This week, you know, the nominal one. From a dynasty perspective,

let's not forget about the net Marcel Reed, Marcel Marceau. We haven't had a good Marcel in a while, first off. Like, that in itself has rosterability value. But 67,

65% completion rate. Right? Two TDs, but 83 rushing yards in the T. Yes. All right, we're getting a little bit of everything. Again, speaking of injuries, we don't know we're getting out of Conner Wake when he's coming back, right? So, I mean, that looks like a pretty good long-term play.

He's gonna be the guy. It's his show. So, all right, rock and roll, Colin Klein's offense. Maybe you can run a little bit. Heck to tank Brown, 17 to 25, 235, and four touchdowns. Like, everybody's waiting to see what happens, you know, for this, you know, this year two, Hugh Free's offense. Like, all right, this is going to take hold. You have a great glimpse of Peyton Thorne in week one, which quickly faded.

And I'm quickly faded in week two. But, you know, here we are with Brown. And he's a freshman, you know, from a dynasty perspective, you could do a heck of a lot worse. I'm sure if you're sitting there at one and two and you're burning a roster spot on a senior that's doing nothing for you. I would prioritize Frank Brown just to, I mean, Hank, Frank, there's so many angst, you know, angst here on the show. I would take a look at him. If you're in a pinch and deep leagues, Keown Jenkins for FIU,

I mean, threw for 290 and three touchdowns, I'll be at three interceptions. But, you know, that really doesn't ding you two too much in fantasy. It took like two points, maybe sometimes one. But playing Monmouth this week, Louisiana Tech the next, It's like, all right, if you need somebody to speculate with and you're in a tough spot in a short, deeply, well, okay, rock and roll. Obligatory Alex Orgy is starting from Michigan, Membrit reference. Here we are.

It's a college fantasy podcast. It's what we do here. And I think that pretty much wraps it. C.J. Bailey, obviously, we know that Grace McCall went down. C.J. Bailey was pretty well publicized in the preseason at 14%. and you can go and grab him. Yeah, yeah, that's a really interesting one, the CJ Bailey. You know, Marcel Reed is interesting, too, with, you know, Texas A&M,

what we know Colin Klein is what it wanted to do in the past when he's at Kansas State, run the ball with the quarterback, and you see Marcel Reed get 83 yards rushing. It's not that Wegman is a statue back there, but he's probably not going to be putting up 83 yards rushing anytime soon. So it could be argued that Marcel Reed's a better fit for that system. And so therefore maybe just a better, you know, guy for Colin Klein to build his offense around in the future. Is that kind of what you're thinking, Froton, with suggesting him? Yeah, I'm here.

I mean, depending on the reports, I'd be interested here with JD, you know, as read into or if anything at all. But I'm here at what, then this might be a multiple week thing. And if that's the case, and you're going to have Texas A&M, Jason, or being in a position where they're going to have to throw, or create plays, well, Marcel Reed can break the pocket pretty effectively. I mean, he's fast. He's a little bit on the thin side. Like, he can get out there and create in space, and that's something that we want, especially in four-point passing touchdowns.

He's got more value in that format than six, but I think that's pretty much to be expected. I mean, I guess I'm kind of curious what J.D thinks about that situation and what he's heard about Wegman. I definitely noticed how weird it was that they kept downgrading him throughout the week, and then, okay, he's going to be game time decision. I don't see how it looks in warmups. It wasn't listed on the injury report, then he goes out there and then immediately is ruled out.

So if you're going to put on your tinfoil a hat, maybe it's like, well, they really just want to bench him, but they're doing all this weird injury stuff that you don't really see happen, and it's very strange. But he tried to play, and the kid just can't play. I guess we have to start this Marcel Reed kid. Oops, there he goes, driving Florida crazy. So, yeah, and then the latest report's saying how he's questioned. and how they like immediately said that early in the week. I mean, it seems like it's Marcellarie's job to see if he's really good.

And if he doesn't play well, then let's bring Connor back. All of a sudden, he's healthy. Yeah, that's a great point. And I think that kind of leads us. Actually, let's take a quick break. And then I want to talk about Archmanning next. Snap up ancestry DNA's lowest price ever in our incredible cyber sale.

All right, Arch Manning, he, I think this is not similar to Marcel Reed. That's crazy. But what are you guys doing with him this week? you know, let's say Quinn Ewers, they sit on for this week just to make sure he's healthy.

Is Arch Manning a guy that you're picking up at all, prioritizing at all? Are you just going to let somebody else kind of take him for one week, let him go ham? And then probably sit on the bench. Is he sitting on the bench? Like, he does what he did this last week? Like, is there a chance that he usurps Quinn Ewer's here? Like, J.D., I'll start with you, but what are your thoughts on Arch Manning in the, in the waiver wire in particular,

but then overall this season as well. I actually think fairly highly of them on the waiver wire. I'm kind of like not putting a lot of into him personally just because if I'm in a dynasty league, he's already gone. If it's a competitive league, I don't have many, I don't have many bench spots to put him

and he might not win the job. So I'm not just personally putting a lot of priority into him, but I think he could make an argument. He has the highest upside of any waiver wire at this week. I won't get too far into my whole complaint of yours takes because I'm sure nobody wants to hear it. But yeah, I think there's a very, very, very real chance. Archmanning wins the job because he's a better quarterback. But I'll stop there before I get too spicy.

Well, you know that somebody's going to be rushing to the waiver wire out of whatever the – I don't care how big your league is if he's on the way of the wire. There's a lot of cases he isn't. Somebody is going to be marching their wallet in hand and dropping the entire thing. So it's like, what's the cost of acquisition going to be at this point for the return for an abdominal injury that, okay, you know, I think it's very reasonable to expect the Quinn Ewers will sit this game. But, you know, there's always that looming issue. And you could end up spending the vast majority of your free agent capital on a one-week acquisition of quarterback. So I would tread lightly in terms of what I'm expecting for a.

full season and if you can get them for essentially if you're in line or in front you know second third whatever your priority is in the queue if you have a queue system all right you burn a waiver wire pick and you go back to the the back and then you work your way up like i can understand that philosophy but if you're going to have to spend out of a thousand dollars eight hundred seven or fifty dollars in order to acquire him then that's not i don't i think that's cost for him yeah No, it's a really good point. I mean, it's one of those very high risk, very potentially high reward, right? But the, I think the risk does outweigh the probable reward here, right?

Like, you know, if you need a spot, you know, one-time spot and you just got, you know, an extra bench spot. Then you just need a spot start. Then I guess you could do it. But I agree with you guys. But I figured, you know, people would want to hear a take on Arch Manning, considering, in some leagues he is he is available. I did in the 50 teamer league. I faced Kay and Chris Kay and Andrew Katz this week.

Luckily for me, Archmanning. I know, man. It felt like I was getting tag team. I almost got whooped. Luckily, Arch Manning was on their bench, so I was fine. I was fine.

I'm going to have to give him a call on here. I know. Do you have any on the bench? J.D. Josh, I think I sent out, I think I've done a personal text everybody knew in that league being like, hey, QVs. Yeah. Can I interest you in Jeff Garst? Do you know I drafted Katen Hauser?

Do you know that? So I actually tried to get into the ECU back then. And I lost. So well played, sir, on Jake Garcia. And yeah, I do have the trust. If this was a points per interception league, I would be undefeated. Wow, that's excellent. That's good to know.

How is it stand out? You're two and one? I'm one and two. We're not doing so hot pro, Tom. Wow, dude. Former champion. Frotivian, isn't it, Josh, I'm not mistaken. You're ruling the roost right now.

For now. For now. Yeah, are you number one and are you three and oh and leading in points? Yeah. Three and a, wow. Josh had taught the 50 teamer. Look at that, brother. This is how.

happened before and then I get to the playoffs and somehow I get like all the guys with like week 10 or week 11 buys and so I'll I'll I'll pull like a just get to the playoffs and just whatever happens happens but dude congratulations. Yeah it's been been fun I mean ashen gente helps for sure so that that'll help you all right we we got a couple questions here one for the record 2-1 1 for the record just let's go let's go getting along getting along We just need us all three in the playoffs. That's all we need. There's plenty of time for that.

Just want a ticket to the dance. There we go. There we go. All right. Let's go to wide receiver. Well, we'll just go to this question first. Thoughts on Jeremy Bernard. Is he dropable in half PPR league or any league for that matter?

And then he talks about the different wide receivers that are available on the waiver wire. This is 863K. Shout out to our Miami Hurricane fan. So Deshaun Stribling is on. the waiver wire, Giles Jackson, he has Boston already, Trell Harris,

Harrison Wallace, are some of the names on the waiver wire. So you take a Jeremy Bernard over any of those guys. Froton, we'll let you go first. First off,

great call by our friend J.D. Yankee on Trell Harris last week on this show. If I'm not mistaken, right, I believe J.D. brought him up. And if I'm saying, I think,

Charles Jackson, I brought him up, courtesy of our friend Joe R. Peso, our boy Purple Rain, who is an excellent analyst doing great work, gave his heads up and hey, that cash as well. So, you know, hopefully you took our advice and you picked up one of them last week. That being said, I think you can make a pretty damn big case for stripling.

Stripling. I really like the idea of him because it looks like he's taken over Owens as the top outside wide receiver preference for Mike Gundy for Alan. for Alan Bowman over there at Oklahoma State. And we've seen literally for the last two decades of college fantasy football, you know, roster after roster, championship after championship, won on the backs of outside receivers for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. So with stripling looking like, like he's establishing himself as the alpha, which to Mike Bambridge's credit, Mike Bambridge had, you know,

stribling as an overplay, and my God, if you ever go over last week, Thor and Oklahoma State team, 27th and passing success rate, right, 40th in total QBR, if we're looking at the way that they call plays on passing down, it's 124th in terms of run rate, right? So you're top 10, again, top 40 in terms of standard down passing rate. So we've seen year after year, time after time, and now with Ollie Gordon being somewhat marginal, not as effective.

Maybe we had 40 yards last game. Did he even crack 40, 30 yards? I don't think he did that. It was like 20 carries. So if that's the world we're living in, where they're stacking boxes, if daring you to go to Dejohn Stripling, well, go to Jean Stripling,

especially with Ryan Williams. I mean, dude, do you want to be on the opposite side of Ryan Williams right now? I don't. No. I don't. That guy should be in my high school senior classes right now. Well, obviously not in my high school, and golly he's insane i cannot believe he keeps doing this so smooth he glides he has that ability to

simply glide through his routes and look casually like he's running but he is extending that lead while you see the other guy just trying to keep up and like the flailing and the arms and stuff to try and do it but he just his cruise control and he's gone so so electric so that's really what's working against Bernard. Yeah, you had a great spring game and we thought it was, but we have to give up on a priors. I like Bernard preseason just like everybody else. But geez, I mean, I'm probably looking at street.

Yeah, I mean, it is one of those things where Bernard seems like he did a little bit better this last week than in previous weeks, which was good to see. But, yeah, I mean, stribling is a guaranteed eight targets a week. And so I think we finally saw his potential. JD, again, you are all over Deshaun stribling in the off season. Shout out to you. Because of you, I have a lot of best ball shares. And on underdog, Deshaun stribling and Jacoy Brooks. And so, man, stribling, you know, to get a guy that way, it was awesome.

But he's been great. He was awesome this last week. And so I think it's hard not to think that he could be a guy. He could be that dominant outside wide receiver that we've seen. And, JD, I'm parroting all. of your points. But I think what you said in the offseason was, Jay, we've taken all the air out of the room on Dejohn Stripling with you and you are the one who was earned it the most research. Yeah. Yeah. So you can

pair it your own Rashad Owens' take, but like that he's a former tight end. And Deshaun Stribling is a guy that they see as an NFL guy. So anyways, you want to talk about stribling? We can give you the floor here. Not do Eminem. I liked him first. I called dibs. That's right. That's my boy. No, yeah, at some point in the offseason, I'm like, you know, yeah, the outside of wide receivers, like, why not take a shot on this guy? And then, yeah, here Gundy calling him an NFL wide receiver. We're going to get this guy drafted. He wants to be drafted. That's what we're here to do. We have the pieces to make it work. And it's like, yeah, Owens is a kind of bulky former tight end that just kind of stepped up because they didn't have

anyone else. You know, Fortin you said fantasy leagues are one on the backs of outside wide receivers. I just want to point out that some bankrolls in DFS have been lost on these guys because I was so confident my stribling takes week two, week one and week two on stribling. I'm playing mostly every single lineup in DFS. The guy drops like four touchdowns. They're forced to be on the ball. He hasn't like lost a route all year long. So he is a stud. And then in week three, it's like, all right, well, I guess they're force feeding him. It's not working. Let's play some Owens here. And then that's when stribling goes for, you know, 5,000 yards, a couple touchdowns. But, but, man,

I don't offense is clicking because, yeah, stribbling is real good. Yeah, that's awesome. Another, Leevin said, thank you for Darius Taylor. He won. He had a pretty sizable win on Fandle because of some Darius Taylor takes that we had this weekend. So thank you again, JD, for that. DFS. You guys have pretty good props takes, didn't you, over there, too, with your phone.

Yeah, bro. We're 21 and 2 over the last two weeks, a little 90%. Oh, let's go. I love it. I love it. Yeah, just a grassroots small-town bird, bird lawyer operation over here, you know, spot in 21 and 2.

Yeah, fun stuff. It's my crew. The boys, yep. It's my boys. All right. Let's see. We got to, would you add read and drop Zeno or shape in? Anybody got a take on this?

I would probably drop one of those two for Reed, especially Shapen. I mean, going into SEC play, it's going to be tough for him. But what about Zeno? Froton, would you drop Zeno for Reed? Geez, Alabama, Birmingham, iced Z. No. Yeah. You may be been disappointing in some fashion.

Let's be honest. He was good week, too. You know, you don't expect him to be good. he's good, you expect him to be good, he isn't good. Like, we won he's stunt. I don't know if I'm ready to hop off the Zeno train just yet. However, I do think with Mississippi State entering SEC play, I do think the talent level started, it's already kind of started to catch up with them a little bit.

And Breed, I think, have just the overall talent level between those two teams. The disparity is pretty fast at him, but I can get that. as soon as J.T. does this thing and fish my point. But I think I would take Reed over Shapen, especially if, obviously, this is the Dynasty League of any, or Keep a League of any ilk. You'd want that upside as well. So, yeah, that's where I go.

I like it. J.D., your thoughts? Yeah, really close, really close. Of course, it depends what my roster spots are and whatnot. But I'm not feeling great about Zeno or Shapen, and I agree with all the points made. So I would consider it for both. I probably pull the trigger on,

Shapen, especially if you're in need of an upside play. I mean, Ring you might start this week. He plays Bowling Green, and I know Bowling Green almost beat Penn State, but I don't know, Marshall Green's probably going to have a pretty good game. I mean, you can pick them up with us. I don't know if you're starting up one of the other guys this week. Yeah, no, that's good. All right, you got a couple other questions here that I want to get to.

Let's see, we got, what are we doing with Sean Atkins? I mean, he's a pretty top two-out-pick. Are we cutting them loose? Are we keeping them? Is it too early in the season? Well, you know, with Atkins, he's a guy that don't have a lot of baseball shares or otherwise shares of. Might have one.

Simply the fact that, you know, he's sort of a boxy, white undersized slot receiver. Former walk-on, for sure. Former walk-on, you know, like, there's you watch him and it's like he's catching the ball square like turning like sweet chuck and in police academy kind of turns like this when i see him kind of do his thing i'm not saying he's not dependable because he is but like he's not explosive at all that whole profile she you have to be in a nuclear offense to be great you know and i just have my looking at him in the in a place

where he was drafted he was getting drafted in the third round 12 team leagues i did it's second around probably early on in the season when you just kind of going more off numbers as opposed that having a little more developed feel when he's probably you know like more like a right now if this drafts where's he going you know i know strength of opponent it's obviously a factor and then they'll get in the aAC which is soft is a great but um i just think if you're viewing him he's on the edge of starting right now like you're you don't know if you can start him or if you can't So that's a tough place to be with a wide receiver where every single spot counts because the other guy that you could be put in a spot could be 25 points. Yeah.

And these are flex spots. These are flex spots. You're moving up to me. He's not a core wide of. So then he's competing against running backs now where you can depend on volume and project that. It's a tough spot to be. No, for sure. And yeah, it's surprising to me that Alex Golish hasn't put better wide receiver.

around Byron Brown. I mean, clearly he was missing some wide open guys against Bama. And he's struggled, I think, to pass the ball early on this year. But he also, like, those guys just aren't very good. When Sean Atkins is your former walk-on, not very athletic at all, is your leading wide receiver for an entire year. Like, there's some issues. And I saw up close and personal when they played UTSA last year.

And Sean Atkins was the only but guy that could get any separation. And it doesn't look much better to me this year. but what are you doing jd are you um let me ask you this question actually because this is a good follow-up question that Shane had he said would you drop ackins to add shribling i wouldn't close but no yeah any thoughts on why why you know i probably i think i might ah i'm like that's right on the edge sure you know i'll tell you he was a second rounder you know it doesn't matter to me yeah i just think it's like very very close and i probably after you know i probably stick with art kins but that showed to me he's right he's edge of the roster now

talking about dropping guys as opposed to be in second rounder yeah i feel like both should be rostered still like i don't know i feel like if i'm dropping sean atkins i'd have to feel really good about my team anyway like i i want him and stribling on my team of course it's hard to tell with the format i actually took a closer look atkins because i haven't wanted a few rosters like I took a closer look at him today to decide what to do with him. I came away slightly more positive, still obviously downgrading him from the start of the season. I mean, you have a huge blowout against an FCS team, which we already talked about, blowouts.

You faced Alabama in a game where he got nine targets and was missed a few times. And then, okay, Southern Miss, you want more production. But again, I'm still not saying another fan. Like, if another receiver had emerged, I would be very, very nervous. So the downside right now from last year is that you have three good running backs. Okay, Froton has talked about Joyner. Naqon, right, was the guy who got reps at Florida. And then Taran Keith is a really good player and a really good receiver.

But he's still, in my opinion, the clearly wide receiver one. Like, no one else has stepped up. When they do throw the ball, he's going to be the guy. And the game scripts have just been a little weird. And the thing is, they're still a little weird. Like, they have a few tough games coming up. And they play Miami this week. so maybe that means they throw them more,

but it's hard for me to feel like super safe. Because yeah, I took a closer look. I felt better about him. And I said, okay, I'm starting him this week. It will crappy place Florida.

And then he has another kind of tough game. Then a bi-week. So I don't know. Overall, I prefer not to drop him because I still think there's going to be points in this year where he just kind of goes every game with 12 straight targets. And it's hard to not to find that on the waiver wire. Yeah,

that's good. Hey, let's take a quick break here and then we'll finish up our wide receivers on the waiver wire. All right, I want to ask this question. Then we can get into our individual wide receivers that we like. But Cade McDonald from Miami of Ohio or Floria from Kent State, who would you pick up this week on the waiver wire between those two? I'll keep it quick, but Cade McDonald's 100%.

He's good. I've watched him against Cincinnati because obviously, you know, I'm a source we get, as we all know. And I'm very impressed by Kay McDonald's. Yeah, that's good. J.D. Yeah, Kate McDonald, how to do you get him? Had them written down to talk about 7% owned.

He's got 20 targets and two games, 16 receptions, a former Power 4 player at Michigan State. Good, experienced eighth year to ninth year quarterback and Brett Gabbard. Offense that's a little slept on because Gabbard was out last year. I think there's a whole lot of buy signals. Yeah, for sure. We've seen this produce, this position produced. There's some better offenses in the back, I feel like this year,

just whatever reason in terms of, you know, how these teams are formed. I think you could see them kind of have a little more excitement during match. Maybe I'm an optimist. No, I mean, definitely resurgence. I mean, just the new guys, right? Braden Sloan, Cade McDonald. I mean, those guys alone, Anthony Tyos, these are all guys that are making, you know, the Mac better alone with just those new guys.

Yes, which it's good to see because we needed that because that was brutal. I feel like last year. So, all right. Let's get in. Eric, we'll start with you. Who are some of your favorite wide receiver pickups this week on the waiver wire? Well, Kashon Johnson has to be respected, obviously, if he's still at 16%. So, you know, that's obviously on the high side, naturally.

But, you know, out of respect, he really does, has earned it. Once you ascend to the top of the mountain there at WKU, I want to be invested in you. let's do this, especially with Velt Camp looking like a much more confident version of T.J. Finley, you've got my attention. Next, Dante Wright, Temple. I think I made some last week. Look, you get, I know he is literally the definition of a retread, you know, post-type sleeper, throw all the baseball terms you want on Dante Wright. But you have to respect the man.

Like, he's, he's electric. You get him in space. if you can figure it out and temples throw in the ball all the time because one of their defense is absolutely horrific and two that's what they're set up to do this to do those quick short throws

it's like that is you're in Dante Wrightland you know 15 targets two weeks ago 10 targets last week 11 for 101 and 1.9 for 99 and 1 I love all the alliteration you've got carry last game and if you look at

what they're doing. They're coming in the conference play. They got Utah State. Great. Army, Yukon coming up. Great. All right. Give me some Don't take right shares at 8%. From a dynasty perspective, Caden Lee for Ole Miss. Hey, if I see somebody who is an underclassman, you know, what's the sophomore here? Katie and Lee breaking that old miss rotation and getting a consistent five targets each game, I mean, he's catching all of them. 13 for 16. Trump's kept past 225 and 1. You got two carries for 18 yards.

His role grew against Wake Forest, five catches, 83, two carries for 18. Like, this is what I want to see because those old Miss guys, they're all gone. They're all bought by after this year. Caden Lee is Trent Walker at Oregon State. Got to give Trent Walker some love. Dude, he is an absolute target pock. I mean, I don't know what it is over there at Oregon State because, like, we didn't really have much to go on with Trent Walker coming in. You know, he gets seven targets week one.

But then, you know, he reals in 8 of 13 for 92 last week. I mean, two weeks ago, eight of 11 for 68 against Oregon. He was, I mean, my God, he was at like three and a half for his receiving over for receptions. What a dream that was. I got to think as Oregon gets into that Mountain West conference play, and he's, you're just, you know, dealing with the likes of, you know, Colorado State and Nevada, you know, in San Jose State. And, you know, they're going to be able to put some points on the board. And you're going to have Trent Walker around.

So he's only 1% owned. Deeper Leads, you can still get them. Yeah, that's a great, great one to end on for sure. JD, who do you have to add to the list? All right. Let's see here. Skyler Bell from Yukon. I figured I might not talk about a Yukon player all year.

Deep cut. deep cut he's got 22 targets in three games he's a Wisconsin transfer he went over the century mark twice already and they need to play the I don't know to say his name but the fanano kid behind him I think it's probably only a matter of time with how bad the other kids look in the Oklahoma transfer so that can be hucking around a little more I think he would even get some more volume once he steps in could be a target hog down when they're playing from behind Ted hurts Georgia state this guy has 52 fantasy points in his last two games kind of came out of nowhere 18 minutes in that span uh georgia state's offense not as terrible as i was expecting it to be so yeah against vanderbill i mean you can laugh about

it being against vanderville but the fact is we saw what they did to virginia tech's offense so fred hirsch might be a player not really a guy had circled coming out of juco but uh or juco fcs wherever he was at but not a guy had circled as a transfer he had something like 500 yards last year, but someone I have circled now. That was impressive. Another one, I think he's owned decently, but I saw him available in a few my my leagues, Omari Kelly for Middle Tennessee State, Auburn transfer, who erupts for 50

fantasy points in a past friendly system. You have to shout that out. And then last last one, at least, a guy that just came out of nowhere and I noticed had 11 targets for Duke last week. Sean Brown as a redshirt freshman as someone to circle in deeper leagues and dynasty formats. Yeah, that's good, man.

I like those. You guys took all of mine, so I love it. Let's go on. I want to go on to running backs now. And hear who you guys got up as your top running backs. So Froton, why don't you lead us off on this one and give us your top running backs? Yeah, the good thing about running backs is you have young guys that emerge from week to week that you just, there's no way. You just don't get to see them.

So there's no way you can really evaluate them beforehand. and then all of a sudden somebody gets hurt and opportunity arises and they come out and they pop. And I think at the very top of that list has to be kidding Durham, LSU. He's on Barry's 98 yards, two touchdowns, and oh man, you watch him. And he, again, you know, you can say it in a similar fashion that I kind of talked about Ryan Williams in a way that just he's moving freely, smoothly. and everybody seems to be playing catch up to him. And he's running within his frame at all times. He's always linear.

And it shows because he effort at least parries away tackles when guys don't have him completely squared up. Like you see guys that are in a trailing position are coming from the side. And he's running and he'll just take, you know, one little side step and give a, you know, a stiff arm. and he's by them and he's not even thinking about them. It's just his lateral fluidity, his overall just smoothness, how quickly, I mean, you know it when you see it.

And with Caden Durham, you see it with him. And it's Josh Williams. I'm glad you're a team captain. Hey, buddy, move over. It's going to be Caleb Jackson and Caden Durham. I mean, that's the running back rotation. And as the season gets on, I understand how Durham. doesn't get more carries. From a dynasty perspective, he's an A1 priority. Chris Kay already made an offer.

I have him in the 20-team CFB winning Edge League kick, like a vulture, Chris Kay, already trying to get him from me. Chris Kay, save your seniors. No, I will not be too. That being said, I'll go Anderson Castles in the sand, Appalachian State. We talked about him here. I mean, we talked about him all summer about being, you know, know, is it easy or is it, is it our boy Castles? And look no further. Castle, just simply outcarrying him, even though it was obviously a tough game against the Clemson defense. He would say he had five catches, 17 carries.

I mean, he has ascended to be the preferred option in that room. And with Appie hitting, you know, Sunbelt Conference play, it's only 1% owned, you know, if I'm reading this correctly, perhaps I'm wrong. It almost pops off the page and looking at it. but I think that has to be exploited as well. And lastly, sister Christian Washington, man, his time has come. Zero percent owned for Coastal Carolina, Braden Bennett.

I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Retread. You want to talk about retread? Brady, Ben. How long have we been talking about that guy being marginalized and taken over by superior running backs? Hard not to like what we're seeing out of Christian Washington last game for Coastal Carolina

again coming into Sunbelt plays. couple Sunbelt backs, and I'll hand it over to J.D. Yankee. Yeah, one even additional note on Castle, White Alike him, because I didn't really thought about them until you mentioned them. They played, obviously, Clemson is a very good defensive front. And then last week they played ECU, it was actually, I think, is a super underrated defense, and they lead the country in tackles.

So if you're getting decent production with great volume against those teams, we know App State is capable of a lot more. And yeah, if you watch that Clemson game, App State defensively, holy Toledo. So they're getting worse on that side of the ball. And we know their offense is going to be decent. A few more guys I had written down. So Billy Lucas and Demi Sumo, we talked about it.

I'm glad because I had them as my one and two. Zubari Mowgli for Florida Atlantic, 20 carries, above 34, three touchdowns. Now, is this going to continue? I'm not sure. But remember when a homeboy was hired there, it's like, well, he's probably going to have a good offense. But where is exactly going to come from? We're not sure. This year going on the season, what are the pieces?

Camp Fatcher. a quarterback really how are we replacing webster at wide receiver nobody knows um so mowgli's a guy i'm like well it could be mowgli and then early on the season doesn't even look like he's the guy they have what's his name c j campbell some other guy let's be one um Florida state walk on i don't know about i don't know about that anymore i do think this this offense is going to have someone who's going to get fed and um because there's almost never a uh you know a lack of a fantasy asset in this offense under herman and i think it could be mowgli so i'm only going to take a few flyers really cheap nobody owns him

let's see what happens another guy razzul phase on Utah State yeah Utah States had quite the off season and quite the season but he's always kind of looks like a good player but been sharing carries you got booth transferring over to Mississippi State you have Briggs out

for the season with an injury Fazon's there and went for over 100 yards against Utah might not stick out to people because he didn't get a touchdown didn't catch passes but you run for 100 on Utah with potentially a fourth string quarterback and Royals and the slot kid, Rowan, White, whatever last name he's choosing to go by right now.

That's interesting. I think he's one who could slip under the radar. You could add him to fill out your rosters. And other than that, Trace Stewart for Jacksonville State. Yeah, I was, I spent, I spent some draft capital on the running back room because, again, I love the offense. And it looks like I might have whiff. I don't know what happened to Andrew Paul.

I saw him on my highlight when they were showing Van Griff, right? his highlights from Georgia, not many of them, but throwing a touchdown pass to Andrew Paul, I said, I know that guy. Why don't I see him in a Jacksonville state uniform? I don't know, but Anwar Lewis only got one carry. This kid, Tray Stewart stepped up and had 17, so it's looked like, and I know Rich Rodd always changes his mind, but that was a pretty, pretty, you give one running back, 17 carries another one-one, and that's it.

I'm going to look at you because their matchups get a lot easier from here on out. Yeah, those are good. I love Russell base on because I, my, nickname for him, Rosal Gould face on. I mean, it's right there. Liam Neeson's character, Batman begins, it's all there, ties it up with his daughter at the end, you know, anyways, yeah, Christian Bail Batman. I love it. Hey, a little bit on Caden Durham. He's a guy that I just loved all offseason as a running back, freshman running back. You know, in that game, he had, what, 11 carries, seven mistackles forced on those 11 carries.

and then he averaged 4.55 yards after contact part 10, which, Froton, you mentioned that, right, when they couldn't square him up. He was so nervous. I know. I mean, but these are the types of things. I'm not comparing him to this guy yet, but this is the type of stats that Ashton Genty was putting up last year

as far as advanced stats with the mistackles force and things like that. I mean, Caden Durham, 59, 205, he's small, he's compact. He ran a 10-500 meter. that was win-aided, a non-win-eighted 10-3-3. I mean, like you said, he's running at a different speed. 10-8 is kind of that national elite time that you want to look for in running backs. And he blows that out of the water.

I mean, he's basically Dylan Edwards speed, but 205 and just rocked up. I mean, the fact that those dudes were bouncing off of them like they were was pretty insane. And that South Carolina front is a good front, too. I mean, it's not like this is a bad, bad defensive line. So a couple of the guys that I had as well,

Kelle Mollings from Michigan. I think he's 15% owns, a little bit higher. Wow. It's weird to think of him at 15% owned. You don't even, you think of me. Oh, yeah, Colal Mullings, of course. Yeah.

Dude, I mean, I'm sorry. I'm taking, I've been back during Bainbridge over him being better than Donovan Edwards all summer long. I've been needling Bainbridge about it. And he hates it. but he finally had to relapse and admit that I was right last week. So that's all you need to know about colloid longs.

Sorry, carry on your show. No, you're good. Another guy that's similar to that is Mackay Bernard. I mean, he's only 17% owned in leagues in two straight 100-yard rushing games. So again, these are guys that like just see if they're on your waiver wire. And if they are, then maybe pick them up. The last one, I mean, part of the name, marshmallow fluff Bothwell. I mean, that South Alabama.

I know it was garbage time. Thank you, Josh. Thank you for Mark Mellow Fluff. I appreciate it. You're getting into a game, but look at that. It's just for you. Just for you. Looks again, you know, the English teacher, JD Yankees going to go here and throw a pun at it.

I don't know. Might get a little lot here. Got to do it while I'm on here with my dad jokes. Can't pull those out in my kids. I'll make fun of me. But seven carries last week for 143 yards and two touchdowns. And this kid, I mean, if you get a running back, at the G5 level level that's 215 pounds and it's just rocked up like he is.

I mean, you got to take a shot on him. This kid looks really good. We thought Braylin McReynolds or, you know, the other dude there. Can't remember his name right now. Bullock. But Bullock, yeah, Kentrow Bullock. We knew that they were going to split.

Probably weren't great. Fluff looks like he's on a different level to me than them. I mean, he's averaging 10 yards of carry right now. I think it's only a matter of time before he takes over, and it might not be next week, but pick him up a week or too early, I think by the end of the, by week six,

October, he'll be then on one back. And I think he looks really good, in my opinion. You guys, any, any opinions on Fluff or any of those other guys I mentioned? I just want to say,

I heard one of the national guys. I forget where I listen to a lot of podcasts, but yeah, look out for Fluff, bough, well, he's the best running back they have. I'm like,

I don't know, they got two good backs. There's no way that's true, right? I've never heard of this guy. And then immediately week one, he's getting carries. Immediately week two, he looks good again. Week three clearly looks like their best back. That kid's good.

Yeah, and he's so good. He's tough and he's the stuff. Sorry, that's a wrestling reference for Buffback Well from the old WC. Oh, that's amazing. I love it. He's the stuff. If he starts wearing a top hat, you know, and after he's on sidelines, after scoring a touchdown like Buff Badwell,

I will absolutely go to, I will fly to the next game that they're at. I don't care where they're playing. I'm going there. I will be out of the press pass. I'll be on the field. And I will be paying homage to Fluff. I love it.

I love it. All right. Let's wrap up here with tight ends. You guys have any tight ends? I know last week, Froton, you had Tyler Neville. Dude looked good. I thought he looked at us. You didn't have the touchdown.

Hell, yeah. Calandria didn't look so great. He threw two touchdowns out of fall. It was like Coindria. Oh, dude, he was, it was bad Calandria. Not we, pretty. You never know which kind of are you going to get? Dude, that game, I had so many high hopes for that game.

Yeah, yeah. And, golly. Yeah, we're hoping. No, but actually, it went over. Malachi Fields also had high hopes for, for Klandrii. I mean, the looks that he was staring, like just a death stare at some of those throws

that just he sailed way out of bounds on Malachi Fields. I just saw her there. Props to, we're bringing in deep, and they covered extremely well and doing those guys out there, and they were able to stand up. Yeah. But still, you know, we got our passing hours.

Trell Harris got his time. J.D. Yonke was proven to be the sage and his wisdom, and advice. Well done, that's awesome. All right. Any other tight ends for you guys this week that you guys would recommend it for these guys to pick up. J.D., you got any? I'll tell you one that caught my eye, Mr. Book of Eli.

Stowers, yeah. I love it. Book of Eli. Dude, you got 17 targets. Yeah. This is a guy. He's obviously very athletic. Obviously, been on the minds of some of us deeper cut CFF analyst for a while. And, you know, oh, yeah, a bunch of other SEC guys set SEC teams wanted this guy in the portal. It's like, oh, did they? Or is that just something

you're saying to stuff to fluff the kid up? You're getting 17 targets as a tight end. Maybe it's true. I mean, he's a little freaky out there and I don't know where else they're throwing the ball. So I thought I'd mention him. I thought I mentioned him. You know, he's no Michael Trigg. He's no Michael Trigg, but a good athlete. There you go. One guy leaving the SEC, another one entering. So there we go. Proton, anybody else you got?

Jared wants to talk Eli Wilson, so we'll go double Eli there for Appalachian State. I already gave out Anderson Castles. So we'll do a two-for-one special over there in the Sunbelt. Absolutely. I feel like Eli Wilson, though, it was somebody who

was getting drafted in the 15 to 20 round range, maybe 20. In our best falls, I want to say around round 20. So I get to like he was getting drafted, or at least he was, you know, aware of some extent.

But if he's out there, yeah, it's a very I think that's a very easy pickup certainly, you know, especially he's under 20% ownership with Agia there. And then one deep cut courtesy of CFF Insiders, our friend, Justin Heisey, from

the industry CFB Dynasty. I looked at his waiver wire article today. I want to give our boy, Hysey, a shout out. And he had Braden Loft at Kansas State, who was somebody that I had watched in that game and been like, Jesus, look at this guy.

It's like, Gunner, Oakley, who? What's going on here? He might have taken that job over. Four target, three, seven, 45 yards, a TD against Arizona in a game where it's clearly a run script for them. They were in good shape, you know, they were throwing, but they didn't, they weren't pressing. That bodes well for the future and his future prospects.

So give it up, shout out to my boy, Heisey. There we go, Heisey. Oh, Bobby, we started out the show with you and we might be ending it with you. Dots, Stowers, and the 50 team are on Friday. Bobby. Pain, pain, pain, pain. You want pain? I have to admit it here.

This is my final act. The final thing I'll say on the show is I have to admit it. that's clean my soul. I dropped Velt Camp right before the week. 50-50 teamer? No, as you've been looking all week for a QB. I'm not. Well, I had to pick up a QB.

Cape Bell Camp isn't starting. Oh, gameville Kim starting. Oh, man. Just so you know, you can only have three QVs on your roster. So, like, I had to play Keone Jenkins. I had, you know, somebody had Van Dyke on buy and then I had Bell Camp.

So I'm like, oh, I need Tyler Van Dyke. Did you start Van Dyke? No, no, no. That's how you knew the 290 yards stat line by Jenkins earlier. Oh, yeah. Oh, because I started here. And I started this week if you don't freaking trade one to me, guys. Instead of the corner I pay myself in.

I'm like, I'm always waiting on QB, waiting on QB. But hey, two and one, I'm good shit. The rest of my team is good. That, yeah, look at Jared, yeah. Bob, you just see, you just feel better. Yeah, Bob. My tail of blow, dude, the 50 team is no joke. It's dirty.

Oh, man. You said you're a Sorsby guy. I got Sorsby on my bench. Oh, oh, open Sorsby reference. Let's go. I need to take a look. Dude, I am. There we go.

Well, I've already given one. Well, he's opening, he's entering Big 10, big 12 plays. That's amazing. Well, Brett here has a final comment. He says, thanks, guys. Brett, appreciate you listening, man. You're always in the comments.

Nothing but love there. Oh, yeah. Appreciate Shane. Shane, I have one update before I leave. Shane, I have he still there? He is. He's right here. It's looking tenuous for NC State Clemson.

So a little insight in posts. I know there's no way to listen to it. I put in for Clemson and the associate the guy in charge of the credentials is kind of give me he's kind of given me. Yeah, Jane knows. He was kind of giving me, he was asking me for credentials. He was like, because I was like, hey, I was here last year. Remember me? Thanks a lot. That was great. He was like, oh, yeah, you were here. Show me your work from what you did. I'm like, oh, well, one, I don't want to send you anything gambling. Two, two, I just happened, that happened to be the game where I went with Stilado, and I did interview with him that we ran on NBC Sports, whatever, dot com for his Italian-American

Hall of Fame induction, like that night where he went crazy, Stolato's, you know, his big thing. So I interviewed him on the field for Clemson, so I was hoping to do another little piece there for NBC with him and his brother since Troy plays. But I put it in the last week for the thing. He got out to me in the morning. I got right back to him. And it went all day. He didn't get back to me.

So I might be out of luck. I've already got a plane ticket book to Atlanta. So what I did was, Oh, no. I pivoted. I've got a secondary option. I'll answer for Shane. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, no. I have to go with a secondary option. So I'm in Atlanta. Like, check this out. Tennessee is away. Georgia is on by. Georgia Tech is away.

And I'm flying into Atlanta, one of my best friend's houses, right? And Chris Kay. So I'm there, like, everywhere in the vicinity, like there's nothing I can go to one second. I've already got the flight book. I might as well just cancel the trip.

I look over at Auburn, which it turns out it's only an hour and a half away from Atlanta. I had no idea because I'm a yank. Auburn is only an hour and a half. Like, Jordan Hare State is an hour and a half away from Atlanta. So I go and I look, Auburn, Arkansas, that shootup with Hank the tech against Taylor and Green. So I immediately go, pooh, pooh, bo, pooh, go and put it in.

Dude, Auburn approves me in two seconds. Minutes, they approve me. No, no hassle, Shane. Shane, I didn't get any hassle from Auburn. They want Frotan. They want the college fantasy world to be represented at that. Admittedly, I mean, that's a better college fantasy game. Auburn versus Arkansas, I'm telling you, buddy.

So, look, I'm hoping to see you at Clemson. But if that doesn't happen, I am ready to pivot. I'm ready to do a hard pivot and go right to Auburn, Arkansas, if that's what needs be. So I know it's overrated. Come on now, Shane. Come on, buddy. I want to go.

Shane, they don't want me. Clemson doesn't want me. It's not that I don't want them. We'll see. It's too be determined. I will get in your DMs and I'll let you know. And everyone else, I guarantee you're going to see me at a game this weekend. I don't know which one.

I'll obviously have a play for you when I'm there. In fact, I'll probably talk to Josh and JD. We should have a family play ready for this weekend, guys. We have a family play. Yeah, we can do it for sure. We'll pick one. We'll pick a late game because we have time because I don't like to do a play from the game. I'm going to because it's too like I'll have something beforehand but like I don't like

doing it from the game because I it takes too long upload sometimes and people miss it they get mad at me I don't want people get mad at me so let's come up and one together we'll grab we'll grab Bruno Vambridge the English bulldog owner himself and we'll get a little we'll get a little family play that we'll do right have a little fun there we go let's do it I'm always down yeah all right I think I think I figured out why why Broton was hyping up Hank Brown. Now, I think he was playing a long game here. Oh, Katie.

You're like, Hank Brown. He's got Walker White, you know, clicking out of the wheels. We're going to take Hank Brown. We're doing it. Proton's all about the narrative. I love it. See what his prop is, too. Might take it high, might take low.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what's going to. But I'm leaning towards an overscript in that game. I'm going to say it that much. I think we all. I love it. Probably, you know.

We need Tailing Green to go off this weekend. I'm a bit for a crowd. I'm going to try to get this. We'll see how that all transpires. But anyways, yeah, that's my, that's my, to tie up my tail of blow with Cadenville Camp. And then, you know, to give Shane the heads up that it's, we'll see. We'll see, guys. You'll see me from one of the fields.

I don't know which one, but I'll be in one of them down south. So until then, do small things with great love. Oh, how'd that job? Boom. Let's go. Let's get out of here. What? What?

Why are you shaking here, Ed? You're welcome.
