Jamie and I are already fighting. I want to talk about all four games. Jamie, I only want to talk about one.

Starting point is 00:01:17 We just got done watching Chiefs-Bills. 40, what the heck was the final score? 42-36. I was looking at the raw. It's wrong here. 42- 42 36 the scoreboard i was thinking i had it wrong anyway 42 36 chiefs over bills uh give me a fantasy takeaway that wasn't chiefs over bills that was mahomes over allen and just one of the most unbelievable unbelievable performances you will ever see just so much fun to watch i mean uh you know me i don't usually curse on twitter i was dropping f-bombs all over the place it was crazy yeah uh takeaways obviously gabriel davis is going to be

Starting point is 00:01:50 a great fantasy asset next season you know get emmanuel sanders out of the way not that he was in the way and this game by far four touchdowns two of them in the last two minutes of the game um he had his uh his moment his coming out party so uh gabriel davis already somebody that was going to rank inside my top 24. He was a breakout candidate that I was prepared to write about in February with my early breakouts. Welcome to the stage, my friend, because you are absolutely, absolutely

Starting point is 00:02:14 poised for a starter. Seven yards from Stephon Diggs in this game and 36 points. An amazing game. How about Titans-Bagels? Remember that one? No, no, no. Come on. What else am I going to say? I mean, was it the best game ever?

Starting point is 00:02:28 I can't think of a better game. You know, I did ask on Twitter, name a better game, and the one that kept coming up was the Rams. Was it the Rams-Titans? No. Rams-Titans Super Bowl. No, it was the Monday night game that was supposed to be played in Mexico. Was it Rams-Chiefs?

Starting point is 00:02:44 Oh, Rams-Chiefs. Yeah, Rams-Ch got moved. Was it Rams chiefs? Oh, Rams chiefs. Yeah. Rams chiefs. That one kept coming. No, this is better. This was the best. I'd never seen anything like it.

Starting point is 00:02:51 Yes. I mean, you know, it lived up to the billing. I don't know how the NFL is going to top this for the next two weeks. You know, I mean, it's it's I'm glad it was on CBS.

Starting point is 00:03:01 I'm glad it was on paramount plus, you know, so we get the benefit of that, of those ratings. But in any event, yeah, it,'m glad it was on Paramount Plus. So we get the benefit of that, of those ratings. But in any event, yeah, it lived up to the billing. And you have, you know, I'm on several text chains with different NFL people that we work with and some that we don't. And debating Mahomes versus Allen as just the best quarterback in the league right now. And they certainly put on a show some,

Starting point is 00:03:25 some clearly bad defensive coordinator performances. There are some injuries to the chief secondary. I don't know what the bills were doing on the final drive to allow them to set up the Harrison Buck, the field goal there. But in any event, just I'm just on such a high right now. I'm going to go, I'm going to go watch the last one 54 again. How about this right now? I'm currently on a group text the biggest bills fan i know

Starting point is 00:03:46 basically the only bills fan i know he's in the second quarter right now watching on delay and we're trying to figure out if his wife should tell him not to watch i have a we don't know what to do a text chain with some of my uh the the other coaches from my kids baseball league and one of, it's a husband and wife, and the wife's the only woman in the chain, and she goes, I just want to give Josh Allen a hug. I know, I feel so bad. All right, can we talk about the other games now?

Starting point is 00:04:13 No. All right, what do you got for Tennessee and Cincinnati? Bengals win 19-16. Fancy takeaway, A.J. Brown is going to be awesome if he stays healthy. Just stay on the field. You know, I mean, we saw in spurts, obviously. We saw a good portion of it for the first three seasons of his career.

Starting point is 00:04:31 But if he could ever just stay healthy. I know Ryan Tannehill obviously has his flaws. But my God, he's still a top five receiver for me. I'll take my chances with the games that he misses. 49ers, 13, Packers 10. He and Jamar Chase are pretty good too. 49ers, 13, Pack. He and Jamar Chase are pretty good too. 49ers, 13 Packers, 10. Let's see.

Starting point is 00:04:48 Take away from there is obviously what happens to the Packers. You know, we're going to talk about this a lot, I'm sure, over the next few weeks and certainly, you know,

Starting point is 00:04:54 once we break down this more in depth on Monday's show. But which Packers will you trust if Aaron Rodgers is gone? And obviously, Devontae Adams

Starting point is 00:05:02 is probably going to leave as well. They're in cap hell. So if those two guys leave and it's jordan love i saw actually a really funny tweet uh you know fake quote from jordan love saying i'm going to win one super bowl in the next 16 years and drive the rest of you crazy like everybody else does in the backers um but uh you know it's it's it's mostly going to be you you know, can you trust Aaron Jones or A.J. Dillon if the quarterback is different? Okay. And the answer is probably no.

Starting point is 00:05:29 Yeah. And then finally, we have the Rams bucks, another wild one, 30-27 Rams. Yeah, again, a lot of question marks. You know, I think we kind of, and, you know, our drafts reflected this, you know Certainly, even with our rankings, you were talking about Chris Godwin as a top seven receiver. Mike Evans, for me at least, I think for the other guys as well, top ten receiver, especially if Godwin was going to leave without Antonio Brown there. But the talk of Tom Brady retiring now, if that does happen, wow,

Starting point is 00:06:00 what a tailspin that will turn into this Tampa Bay offense. Where will they turn? Will it be Kyle Trask? Will it be somebody else? I don't think it's going to be Blaine Gabbert. So what do they do with the quarterback position if Brady's gone? And what does that mean mostly for Mike Evans? Because Gronk probably will leave also.

Starting point is 00:06:19 And Godwin, does he even want to stay there if he can get a payday somewhere else and maybe attach himself to a different quarterback and maybe a better quarterback if, in fact, the Bucs replacement is different. So a lot of question marks for this Tampa Bay team clearly coming off that loss. Okay, well, looking forward to talking about all of these games, mostly Bill's game, on the full-length show with Jamie and Dave on Monday.

Starting point is 00:06:41 Thanks for listening, everybody. We'll talk to you tomorrow on Fantasy Football Today. We'll be to you tomorrow on Fantasy Football Today. Game five.
