Starting point is 00:00:00 The Fantasy Footballer Studio is sponsored by Walmart. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. What is... That's about... That fits. Hey, hey. But you ever wondered if you're... They did not scold.
Starting point is 00:00:43 You ever wondered... Like, sometimes you walk by somebody on the street and you're like, oh, that guy might be on drugs. You ever wondered if you were on drugs? Sometimes? Like, maybe I... Maybe like yesterday... About you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:58 During the show, I was... Maybe I was on drugs. Maybe I was on a bunch of drugs. Is this because of your... And bad ones. You're almost upset? It's all of it. It's three things.
Starting point is 00:01:08 I mean, it was just an off day. Like, everyone's had an off day before. Yeah. The Vikings had one. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, the Vikings. Woof. Carson Wentz.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Carson. Sweet, fancy Moses. What in the world was that? I think he might have been an incredible agony. Oh, yeah, he definitely was. Well, you know, do some people play it up? I think maybe he was really on the precipice of death. Why were they keeping him in that ball game?
Starting point is 00:01:37 Punishment. Punishment for playing so bad. You're going to go hurt yourself some more. You deserve it. I thought, I mean, I'll just come out and just quickly, as we cover the whole game. I mean, I didn't think Vidal would have a good game. You did persuade me later in the show on some start sits that he would be better, but I didn't think you'd have a good game.
Starting point is 00:01:57 He had a great game. I must have been on drugs to think Jordan Mason would have a good game. Jordan Mason was maybe the worst player in the game. Carson Wince refuses to let go over that trophy. Jordan Mason had four carries for three yards. I am sorry. I think I was on drugs. And then, no, we're not done.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Oh, okay, okay. I mean, then I thought they might win the game. I thought the Vikings were the almost upset. So there's, I mean, other than saying, Ronde Gadsen a bunch of times yesterday on the show. I feel like I just completely missed on this game. It's okay. Let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:02:36 This morning, are you on drugs? We'll see what I say today. Because I'm just hopeful that you're, you know, having a nice, good sober morning. I'm hoping, too. Based on the welcome in, I'm not sure. That's fair. That's fair. It was a pretty rough welcome.
Starting point is 00:02:52 But, hey, Justin Herbert, he looked great, was doing anything he wanted. threw a bunch of touchdowns, even won to my boy, Trey Harris. But stop using so many weapons. There's too many guys now. Well, the big other storyline was on a team that scored 37 points dominated throughout where your quarterback threw three touchdowns and completed a high percentage of his passes. Their number one guy through the first month of the season had no targets.
Starting point is 00:03:23 He must have had a great game. No targets for Q's. Hmm. Yeah. Which, by the way, on my team. Chopped team. So that's a great start to the old... You got Bowers?
Starting point is 00:03:33 No, but if I had, oh my gosh, the curse would have felt. Yeah, Bowers will make you safe. Here's the problem is yesterday on the show, you said this. I mean, Minnesota, they didn't show up, right? They're a... Minnesota is the best example of, if you don't have a quarterback, nothing else matters. Because they have a great defense. They have a great head coach.
Starting point is 00:03:54 They've got good weapons. They have weapons. But if you don't have a quarterback Offensive lines still hurt If you don't have a quarterback You are the worst team in the league I mean it's just Yes their offensive line is banged up
Starting point is 00:04:03 But They couldn't have looked more inept And the Chargers couldn't have looked better And yet You know We're here and Quentin Johnson Had no targets and no catches First time in his career no targets
Starting point is 00:04:14 You said on the show Somebody was going to end up Drawing the short straw And McConkey had the good game By the way on his touchdown pass I don't know if you saw it Harbaugh came out and said they had double covered
Starting point is 00:04:28 Arronday Gadsden on the play that McConkey had the touchdown so already getting the respect but Gadsden had five for 77 in a touchdown in the first half and took the second half off Oh then the defense was like we should guard that guy more he's going to be legit now
Starting point is 00:04:44 a lot of people out there probably freaking out about the huge issue like what happened so now he's done it's not he's done it's someone will be left out every single week. You will have games where Keenan Allen will be left out.
Starting point is 00:04:58 Keenan was kind of left out where Ladd has left out. And you're going to need to start these guys. Like I will start Quentin Johnson next week. The beginning of the year, who was the guy that no one could count on for the Chargers at wide receiver? Ladd.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Ladd. Yeah. Right? He was at the bottom of the totem pole. And then after a few games, who was the guy that no one can count on? It was Keenan Allen. Mike was like, oh my gosh, show me something.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And here we are now with Orande Gadsden breaking out. I mean, that is really the headline there is this is a player that, you know, has been on our waiver show for a couple of weeks. The big fab spin for a lot of people they didn't already have them was last week. And dominant. I mean, really, historically speaking, one of the best starts to a career at Tide End that you've ever seen. Sure.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Yeah. Will it continue? Is he? It's very exciting. Is he going to also, I mean, he'll probably work into the rotation of guys that will have a bad game. 100%. No one is going to have a complete consistency for this team going forward.
Starting point is 00:06:04 It reminds me a little bit like the Patriots feel a little bit like this, but lighter where you're going to have plenty of good games. If you want them, you've got to start them, but you can absolutely disappear. So it's scary going forward, but they've got a great offense. and the passing weapons really open it up for, you know, Vidal Sassoon, he's not the best running back on the planet. Silky smooth. It was silky smooth.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I mean, he's looking really good for this offense. And I was scared at the beginning of that game because Jared Patterson had like three touches. And Vidal had like two and then it was all Vidal. And the running of Herbert yesterday. Seven for 62. Vidal just, everything is solid. like I mean a couple great pass block pickups I mean he just that was like that was kind of the argument for Vidal
Starting point is 00:07:00 was after his first huge game was he did he's not making mistakes he's doing what they want him to do and then he's got some juice that should a big play opportunity show up he can take advantage of it you know the leading rusher for Minnesota was Xavier Scott at the end of the at the end of the game 16 yeah I'm two for 16s you're leading rusher five for 15 for Aaron Jones, four for three for Jordan Mason. I'm pretty sure that in about quarter four of that game,
Starting point is 00:07:29 J.J. McCarthy's ankle magically healed. If I say something like yesterday again, I want you guys to put me in rehab or something. Hey, well, here's the thing is, it's half the time when you bring up your almost upset, you sound insane. And then it comes to fruition. The truth is you don't know the future. No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:07:50 And that's okay. And it is Friday. Put Clan Friday. Every Friday we give away a $100 gift card to Fantasychamps.com or you can get trophies and championship belts and rings and fun stuff. The $100 this week goes to... Ben Mjorn Mjordin had. Okay.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Thank you, Mike. That was well done. You just saved me. this is my people bin underscore yeah you already didn't had thank you thank you um thank you for supporting the show join the foot dot com we'll send you that gift card let's talk some news news and notes from around the league presented by progressive insurance i think this was a little you know cherry on top for me too we're seeing this news that amaran hampton is still in a walking boot they win against the Vikings. The injury happened in week five. I've seen some medical experts
Starting point is 00:08:57 saying that because of this, the fact that he's still in a walking boot, it's in their minds it was a fracture of some sort. I mean, seems bad. Even if it's non-surgical. So the timeline on Amarian Hampton, according to the people I was reading, they were talking like week 13. oof. Yeah, I mean, when you come out pretty early and say, when you're put on IR, everyone just goes, okay, well, so he misses four games. Obviously, it's minimum. Yeah, that's the minimum. And when they came out right away and said, this is going to be longer than four weeks, that's usually not, that doesn't mean five. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, well, shoot, we're going to miss an extra game. This is a serious injury. Yeah, and it's really unfortunate because he was well, on his way to a big year and we'll see when he comes back.
Starting point is 00:09:50 No practice again for A.J. Brown on Thursday with the hamstring. Now, you're worried, Jason? Yeah, I mean, the further in the week you get when the guy's not practicing with a hamstring issue, the more worried you get for sure. I mean, this is great news for me personally as I traded him away and then I have Devante Smith. We have Coach Siriani declining to give a status update
Starting point is 00:10:11 on A.J. Brown's availability for Sunday. Yeah. Yeah. It's a little ominous. To Rod Taylor remained limited. Breast Hall remained limited. Garrett Wilson has been ruled out. So the hopes of him returning this week to help to Rod Taylor are gone.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Mason Taylor was added to the injury report with a quad injury. It was a DMP. And size gardener was ruled out. The Jets are bad. They're beat up. Yeah. Jalen Waddle was listed as a DMP on the. Thursday due to hamstrings.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Plural. He's got two of them. The thing is, that's the maximum you can actually hurt. You can only hurt both. The issue is, I believe, you could put all body parts down for Jalen Wano. He is hurt at all times, but he usually plays through
Starting point is 00:11:03 it. Yeah. Yeah, Dalton Kincaid remained limited. Oblique injury, listed as questionable. Michael Pinnock, Jr., limited. Darnal Mooney, limited. David Najoku Limited. Lamar Jackson remained limited on Thursday with just one hamstring.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Everyone is limited. It does. I mean, I don't know. It looks like Lamar Jackson, it seems like he's going to play. He was seen at practice again. Yeah, I mean, he's been a limited participant, but it's limited participant three days in a row. He's basically been practicing all week. The Vegas lines certainly seem like Lamar is going to be playing, which is just great for football.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Anything else in the news category you guys want to cover? We have, you know. I mean, DJ Moore and DeAndre Swift for the Bears, they were upgraded to a limited practice Thursday. How about the full practices of Terry McClorn and Devo, Samuel? That, there we go. Okay, let's get some good news going. Yeah, I've been really struggling with whether Mariotta can be played or not,
Starting point is 00:12:07 and I decided this morning the answer was still no. Hmm. I mean, in Arrowhead? It's just such a tough match. It's very tough. These short drives, the turnovers are going to be there. Like, Mariotta came in in relief last week was four for ten with a pick. I feel like, yes, you could get an okay game because of rushing yardage, for sure.
Starting point is 00:12:28 But even with those weapons, it's not like I would have been excited, you know, going into Arrowhead to begin with. And I just think that the, I think that the floor is real bad. Oh, I agree. I think that's the real big worry is you could have a fumble and two picks and, you know, throw no intercept or no touchdowns and it freaks me out man there is optimism that jaden daniels will only miss this week oh that's with the hamstring injury so that's good that's good news moving forward and uh i mean this i think this is important information especially this week josh downs of the colts was upgraded to a full practice he had the concussion last week so i mean if
Starting point is 00:13:07 you're full practice on thursday yeah he's going to play it certainly sounds like you're going to play which could throw a wrench into the, are you, do you want to start Josh Downs? Do you want to start Alec Pierce? Those kind of them nasty types. Yep, for sure. Which would you play? Between the two of them? Because I think I'd still be on Pierce.
Starting point is 00:13:27 I think I'm, yeah, I think I'm still going to go Pierce. All right, that was today's news and note sponsored by Progressive Insurance, quote today at progressive.com, progressive casualty insurance company affiliates and third-party insurers, not available in all states or situations, coverage subject to policy terms, limits, and conditions. Let's jump into the forecast. Fantasy Forecast, presented by prize picks.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Yesterday we covered the Dolphins, Falcons, Jets, Bengals. Oh, thank goodness, we covered that Jets game already. Browns, Patriots, Giants, Eagles. We can do it again if you. No, no. Only if I eat something poisonous, Mike. Okay. I need to get it up.
Starting point is 00:14:07 The Bill's Panthers. We also covered that yesterday. Two. That's as in throwing up. Yeah. Yeah. We got it. It's in throwing up, Al.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Regurgitation. Yeah. For goodness sakes, that's the most you've paid attention back there in a long time. A bunch of children. Regurgent. It's a vomiting joke. Mm-hmm. Yeah, totally.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Sheesh. The Chicago Bears, four and two, the Baltimore Ravens. It's still hard to read it. One in five. Vegas line, Baltimore minus. six and a half. The over under is 49 and a half. We'll have Lamar back.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Yeah. And, you know, this is still a game that I think will be really interesting. Wait. I'm surprised. Are you surprised it that much? It's Baltimore almost a touchdown? Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, I know. It jumps off the page for me with or without drugs. This is a team that has to win, that has Lamar Jackson back, that is coming off of a buy. I think the expectation here is that they're going to no mess around. It's also a form of not really endorsing the Bears' four-and-two record. I think that's a little disrespectful for that record. You're saying a lot of subtle things with that line. Yeah, you'll get Lamar back.
Starting point is 00:15:30 You should get your offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley back. You're going to get Kyle Hamilton back, Rokwon Smith. It does, like this is Baltimore's time to get it good. going so kind of make a break you go one and six I mean we're talking about a wild challenge to get back into the picture so I mean this is fantastic news of uh it's kind of people had been asking what do you do with the Baltimore Ravens you know Henry who it the week before the bye kind of got it going again but it was just hold on Lamar will be back soon and this is a fantastic match for it Lamar would go right back into my lineup Derek Henry
Starting point is 00:16:10 while it has not been a King Henry situation it will be back it's a good matchup 20th against the run that's what the Bears defense is and Zay Flowers would go right back into my lineup as well. Is he going right into your lineup? He is
Starting point is 00:16:25 the DK is DK Metcalf is kind of been a placeholder for me this week just making sure that Lamar is going to play but did you just say DK Maccalf is the placeholder? That is right. That's what he said for Zay
Starting point is 00:16:40 That is not, I don't think that that is a universal definition. Well, my team's very good. No, I know, but like moving Zay Flowers into a default position ahead of D.K. Mekap is very interesting, I think. Oh, he's. Like, I would say that most people in a trade would take D.K. Metcalf in that trade. Oh, go ahead. Then go trade D.K. McCaff for Zay Flowers.
Starting point is 00:17:01 You're that much higher on Zay Flowers? No, I just, I... Didn't Metcalf have, like, three straight top 10 weeks before the disappointing week last week? Yes, but he is. He has been very volatile of you have... I feel like that's the definition of Zayflower's career. Not to, I don't want to overpush back because I'm on drugs, but like Zay Flowers this year has one good game.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Well, they've, I mean, the Baltimore Ravens have had no good games because they've lost Lamar Jackson. So I do forgive that. I mean, you could kind of say, well, it's two good games for Derek Henry. Derek Henry, this is like your last chance to be able to maybe trade for him. the fact that he's past a buy week helps me push harder for a trade he's going to score a lot when they win
Starting point is 00:17:45 and I think they're going to be winning a lot down the stretch yeah by the way we've said for weeks trade for Zay Flowers while Lamar is hurt and I'm all in on that I guess I just was surprised at how clear that was for you McHuff has been pretty solid I mean if you're talking scoring at least 10 fantasy points
Starting point is 00:18:04 he's done it almost every single week this year Jay Flowers has he had the blow up week one week two was 11 points and then week three was a dude for sure And that was with Lamar Yeah but yeah I know but then the next
Starting point is 00:18:19 I mean Kansas City 7 for 74 Houston 5 for 72 Throw that poll up Falcon right now Who'd you rather have rest of the season between those two I want to see what the results are by that would be interesting It'd be fun But both are I mean to me both are good plays
Starting point is 00:18:32 I think I think DK is as well But we'll see what happens with the tight ends. I think you're kind of monitoring, right? You're not maybe throwing, would you put Mark Andrews right back out there? Yeah, I mean, you can start him. He's a touchdown machine. He had his career high in touchdowns last year and with Lamar back. There's always a chance of that. So I think if I started one right now, it would be Mark Andrews. If I don't have to start them, like, you know, if I'm grabbing kind of a wait and see, it would actually be Isaiah likely that I would rather roster if I'm not starting because we know what Mark
Starting point is 00:19:05 Andrews is. He is a guy who can go out and get a touchdown. And so that will be fine for your fantasy week. But if he doesn't get a touchdown, you're very disappointed. There's a chance that Isaiah likely can develop into an actual possession receiver who's, you know, 75 plus yards on the regular. He was supposed to be a key part of this offense coming into the season. He got injured early. And then as soon as he got back, Lamar got injured. So this will be like our first game to just get eyes on it. Yeah, I've been really, yeah, we'll have to see. You're right, you're right. Right now, 51 votes in.
Starting point is 00:19:42 It's two-thirds, Mike. It's two-thirds on the D-K side. But we'll see. We'll have a lot more votes in a second. DeAndre Swift, Roma Dunsday, Jason's start of the week. Swift has been getting it done. You can't bench that. And we know all the Ravens' defense has struggled.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Yeah. Luther Burden, there was some hope, but he hasn't hit 30% snaps in a game. He is not, he's just not it right now. I think I had made a trade offer for him, but it was predicated on the DJ Moore Hospital growing situation. That was the real, what made me go and make that move is, is there more snaps coming for Luther Burton? And now it's, you know, you got another weapon in Colston, Loveland. I think Loveland is a good stash. Would you rather stash likely or Loveland? Oh, man. I think I'd go, ooh. I'm on the Loveland side of that. I'm on the Loveland side.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Yeah, 228 votes in, 68% D.K. McCaff, 32% Zayflowers. Caleb Williams, what are you doing with him this week? It's a bye week for a lot of... Yeah, Caleb is a fine start. He had a very down fantasy game last week. He's only thrown two touchdowns his last three games, but they've been winning and they've been winning via running the ball. They've been up a lot in some of these easier games. This is a matchup where, you know, look, if they're six and a half point underdogs on the road in Baltimore. Baltimore's defense, they might be getting healthier, but they aren't healthy by any means. So, yeah, this could turn into a shootout.
Starting point is 00:21:12 The San Francisco 49ers at 5 and 2 take on the Houston Texans who are 2 and 4, Houston's at home. I believe we kind of reacted to the line here. Maybe you and I did in the office, Jay. Oh. But Houston is favored by a point and a half at home in this game, which
Starting point is 00:21:28 I mean, you might be getting Brock Purdy back. What do they No. That's a hundred. What do they know? That is 100% my question. Tell me your secrets. George Kittle is back.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Purdy could be back. I had that exact thought. What does Vegas know that we don't know? I mean, and I also know for the fact, for the betting on the 49ers is like, it's like 70% of all bets for them to win the game. So it's like,
Starting point is 00:21:57 what is going on? Yeah. Nico Collins, Chris and Kirk still not. practicing. I can't imagine that they play. And you, man, you think the Texans are going to beat the 49ers without Nico? Well, I think Nico, we can leave that up in the air for the Friday practice, right? Because we did this routine with Marvin Harrison a week ago, where Harrison didn't practice, practice on Friday, quickly got cleared and played on Sunday. I would be amazed
Starting point is 00:22:26 that Houston would be a point in a game where they presume he's out. Nico Collins and Christian Kirk are practicing today. That is a tweet from today. Okay. If he's not practicing today, so that would be Friday's practice. Yeah, he won't clear concussion protocol. You have to be progressing. You have to be progressing through it. So so why are they one and a half point favorite? I don't know. That's what, what do they know? What is this? This is a mystery. Is this, is this something where we're going to find out that both Brock Purdy and Mac Jones are out? Maybe. That's the kind of thing I'm wondering about. It's like, are both quarterbacks just out of this game? Is Christian
Starting point is 00:23:02 Caffrey lost in a jungle somewhere? Yeah. It's wild. What are we missing? I don't know, man. The Houston, Texans have been trash. They're not good enough to score without Nico Collins. Now, the overrunner is just 41 and a half, so they're presuming. This is a defense. They're still saying Houston's not going to score very many points because it's 21 and a half implied.
Starting point is 00:23:23 defensive battle. Houston is at home and their defense is legit. If you've got a banged up 49ers offense, maybe that's, you know, how you see it playing out. But it's really tough for me to see pieces on this offense that I want. I don't want to play Woody Marks. Obviously not playing Nick Chubb. I don't even want, like,
Starting point is 00:23:43 okay. Nick Chubb hit a waiver wire in our league. Let's say Nico is not active. Let's say Nico and Christian Kirk are not active. I don't even think I want to take a shot at like, obviously someone's going to catch the ball there. If I had to, I'd go Jalen knoll as my first attempt but i don't even know if that makes sense no i don't it could be
Starting point is 00:24:05 nobody slash higgins slash shultz yeah i wouldie marks is in this week with all what is six teams on by what he marks is in play for me the he took over it was 63% of snaps 15 opportunities five targets he's done this before and then they they win a game and he is not on the field if they're leading a game yeah i i can and he was 10 for Are they going to leave the ground? So taking over meant Well, I just mean taking over the opportunities. I know. I know. I mean, I'm confused by this one. I believe I'm more bog. By the way, Brock Purdy's
Starting point is 00:24:39 unlikely to play on Sunday according to a new report. So Jones would start again. And this does, like George Kettle did nothing last week. He unlocked the running game. He unlocked the running game. He didn't do anything for your fantasy team. Right. Which is kind of what people are paying attention to. He did it for your Christian McCaffrey fantasy teams. For yours, yes. Well, there's many of us out there. And we loved it.
Starting point is 00:25:01 I don't know how many people have both that are just like, I'm cool with zero. The Texans are amazing against the tight-in position. Mack Jones, you know, Jason, you're waiting for Brock Purdy to unlock George Kittle in the passing game. It does throw a little bit of, I mean, low, they're projected to lose, you know, you got a heck of a pass rush in Houston that you're going to need him into block. It puts him into more of a sketchy category than I thought he'd be at at this point in the It certainly adds fear to the start, but you're starting him. I mean, he's too good of a player with the ability to go out there and be the number one tight end on the week any time he's on the field to bench at that position. Obviously, he's been in people's IR, so they've had
Starting point is 00:25:45 alternate options throughout the year. So there is start-set decisions with like Dalton Kincaid or Kyle Pitts or, you know, those type of categories. Those wouldn't be to me. The only one that I think you might have picked up early in the offseason or, you know, week one waivers is Jake Ferguson, where I go, okay, okay, maybe I want to just keep rolling with that Dallas offense and wait and see on Kittle. Outside of that, I'm starting Kittle. But fearfully, because we saw this, you know, last year with Jacksonville when Mack Jones was the quarterback. And also we, we, maybe Mac Jones is a good quarterback and better than Trevor Lawrence. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look, Whoa. Trevor Lawrence stinks. Trevor Lawrence is not a good quarterback. And when Mac Jones came in last year in replacement, all of a sudden Brian Thomas Jr. went crazy. And we were like, oh, well, if the backup can do it, you know, then obviously when Trevor Lawrence comes back, he's going to be even better. But it's like, maybe Mac Jones is better than Trevor Lawrence. Well, he was good for Brian Thomas. He didn't really unlock the offense. He was James Winston for Brian Thomas. Yes. I mean, maybe some of this game line this week has.
Starting point is 00:26:57 to do with the fact that Mac Jones, the last two weeks, hasn't thrown a touchdown pass, right? Like, that seems important to functioning as an offense. I mean, Chris McCaffrey hogging at all. Last week, yeah. Yeah, they had lost the week before 152 and zero last week for Mac Jones. I said all that to just remind us that when he played for the Jacksville Jaguars last year, he hyper-targeted his one guy. You know, he was just zoned in on one guy, and that's what he did.
Starting point is 00:27:27 basically every play. So that does make it fearful if George Kittle isn't that, you know, first read for him. Who is it, by the way? He had to start a wide receiver. It was Kendrick Bourne for two weeks, and then Bourne had two targets, and Juan Jennings was up to seven. So I don't know
Starting point is 00:27:43 that that'll be the case. Is that how you'd play if you had to play a wide receiver? If I had to play one wide receiver from San Francisco, it'd be Juan. Okay. Let's take a break, and we'll get into more matchups. All right, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 5 and 2 take on the 1 and 6 New Orleans Saints. Boy, they try hard every week. Tampa Bay minus 4.5 on the road.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Don't patronize the Saints. I don't know, man. They're just kind of like the kid on the team that's just giving it as all. Like, you can't. I mean, you're not mad at him. He sucks. Yeah. But he's trying.
Starting point is 00:28:23 He's trying hard. He stays at practice. running full speed everywhere he goes running as fast as he can yeah i mean the same time to sub in and out of the game he's still he's even doing that fast he's hustling the buccaneers are four and a half point road favorites against the saints is that surprise you at all the overrunner's 46 and a half well i guess i mean that they're not heavier favorites oh okay that that that is 100% what i meant i mean you're five and two oh man it's a divisional game where you are i mean playing one of the worst teams in football. But four and a half. Four and a half road favorites is pretty
Starting point is 00:28:57 strong. Yeah, division. And you're missing Mike Evans. You're missing Bucky Irving. You know, you're, you're banged up. Yeah. So no Bucky, no Godwin, no Evans, is going to be a Bucca. And a lot of a Bucca. And now another week removed from the injury, hopefully he didn't reagravate. We haven't heard anything that he did. And he got 12 targets last week. And then I think Tess Johnson comes into play as a very interesting start this week. The running game has not been what it was with Bucky Irving or anything close to it, right? I mean, Rashad White's getting the work. Sean Tucker worked
Starting point is 00:29:28 in here and there. But is this a get right game for Baker? I mean, it feels like it should be. Yeah, I mean, it could be. It's scary without the weapons, but Baker has been good. He's good against the Saints. And Kate Aughton will
Starting point is 00:29:44 get it done. I think that's a good outlet for him. The matchup is not too difficult for him. So, yeah, I think this could be get right for Baker. Yeah, they haven't, the funny thing is, is like Evans came back, but they haven't had Evans, and they really haven't had Godwin. So, like, it's been the same situation that Baker's been cooking in for the majority of the year. It's just, um, the new, newfound Tess Johnson, does he get more work, more snaps, more opportunities where we can isolate, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:11 it's not Cameron Johnson, Tess Johnson, Sterling Shepard, Kate Otton, maybe you get one more guy getting more work. I don't know. Yeah. Kate Otten, you're okay with though, right? Mr. Necessary. Mr. Necessary right now. He's just going to be that outlet. Rashad White against the 22nd ranked rushing defense? Yep. But schedule adjusted the Saints are better against the run
Starting point is 00:30:33 than we might think they are in fancy points given up. Yeah. It's just I mean, he is who he is. It's disgusting. It didn't work last week, but he will get all the work. What is all this talk about Sean Tucker, Tampa
Starting point is 00:30:49 Bay? Yeah. Wanted to get him more involved. We got, we got three starters. You got you're, no, you don't. He's not getting on the field. No. Let him play. No, he doesn't play. He had two opportunities last week. If he's not going to play when Bucky Irving is out, that's what I mean, he's not going to play
Starting point is 00:31:08 ever. Is, unless this game's getting salted away. Now, you know, when you look at the Buccaneers defense and you look at it in schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed, they have been pretty bad. And maybe, you know, that's that line's only four and a half when you're a five and two team. They're 22nd against quarterbacks, 26 against wide outs. Alave's my start of the week because they've been
Starting point is 00:31:29 softer against wide receivers giving up 29.2 fantasy points a game. They've got one main guy. It's Crystal Lave. And Joanne Johnson is Mike's start of the week. This is a crazy. No, no, no. Yeah. Remember he changed yesterday? Oh, yeah. It's odd. Thank you. Juan Johnson was hurt.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Someone listens to me. John Johnson was in a red jersey and we're not talking about him anymore. Yep. Fantastic. Well, then good. More targets for Chris Oliva. And Alvin Camara, right? I mean, Alvin Camara should get more targets in this game if Joanne's limited. Camara is just, hey, some hell there messing with you. Camara feels, yeah, give me the-
Starting point is 00:32:06 scary. Give me the temperature check on Camara. Right now, he is the running back 29 on the season. I would say that that falls in the highly disappointing category for a guy that finished as RB12 and 14 in the past two years. Yeah, for sure. The sad thing is with Taysam Hill back, you're going to have a couple touchdowns vultured. Alvin Camara doesn't have massive touchdown upside because the Saints and Spencer Rattler don't project to score a ton of points. So when they get down there, if you have like four touchdowns vultured over the course of the season, that's probably half of what he might have hoped for. Saints have one more implied point total or implied, yeah, total this week than the
Starting point is 00:32:49 the 49ers. What do they know? What do they know? There's a plane getting rerouted somewhere else? Seriously. What is happening? I just, it's wild. Dallas, 3, 3 and 1 taken on the 5 and 2 Denver Broncos
Starting point is 00:33:06 who pulled a victory out of the jaws of defeat last week in an amazing fashion where if you logged out at the end of the third thinking you didn't have any fantasy production from Bonnix and the Broncos were doomed. you woke up to a surprise. Denver minus three and a half with a beautiful 50.5 over under. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:33:27 Yeah. Here we go. Yes. It is the fourth highest. Wait a second. Wow. The Dallas games, man. They're juicy.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Their games average 61.1 points per game. When you are in a Dallas football matchup, there's an average of 61.1 points, which 50 and a half seems, mighty low compared to the average this year now. Yeah, Denver Broncos represent a much better defense than what Dallas has been playing lately. So the question is
Starting point is 00:33:57 can this offense that has been on fire for Dallas, can they keep doing that against Denver? In Denver. And so, because we know that the Cowboys defense can do what they're supposed to do, which is let the other team score at will.
Starting point is 00:34:12 That's the fourth highest total of any team since Y2K. That's what, that's what Borg put in here because he, I don't know, he wanted us to explain what why 2K is to Falcon It was the year 2000 Just so you know
Starting point is 00:34:26 I think he was alive then Were you alive then? Computer crisis That was a lot I was around That did not How old were you? Happened for
Starting point is 00:34:32 Okay Baby Jake was Not I think he was being born Yeah Yeah we're old All right Dallas is one Or Denver's won four straight games
Starting point is 00:34:41 You're playing Bonix this week Mike Oh yeah Yeah I think so You play you play Starts of the week, team of the week, Denver with Bonix, Dobbins, Sutton. Yep. You can shoot your shot on a Mims or a Franklin. You can play R.J. Harvey with hope that something happens.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, are you playing Tadj Spears or R.J. Harvey? If that was the question, it would be Harvey. It's a question for lots of people. Yeah, I would like Harvey over Tadj Spears. I think the... Menong guy or R.J. Harvey.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Okay. So he's startable in some situations. People are fighting for running backs. You know, there are players like Kareem Hunt that were on rosters that you find you out and he's gone. Yeah, that was the name I would play Woody. I'd play Harvey. There's a snake in my boot. I think you have, I think processes you have to go Woody their favorite.
Starting point is 00:35:43 You don't have to. Man. Yeah, I'm going to go Woody. okay interesting um woody marks probably should have been in the in the group of you know
Starting point is 00:35:56 tootin and Caleb and travion and and some of these guys Harvey was one of them where it's like some of these second half rookies have opportunities um chub hit the waiver wire didn't get picked up today in our league of record it's kind of over for nick chub i think yes yeah so we know we like the broncos and we like the cowboys
Starting point is 00:36:17 We like Citi, we like George, we like Jake, and we like Dac, and we like Javante. It's, are they the easiest team to, to like, yeah, because you just play everybody every week. And, and it, it stinks because, you know, like for wide receivers, this is one of the most difficult matchups possible. So this is like a litmus test. We're going to, we're going to find out if the Cowboys, because they've got a bad strength of schedule the rest of the year. They're actually one of the most difficult matches for quarterbacks and for wide receivers. I don't know that that matters. I think they might just be good enough that they will overcome good defenses,
Starting point is 00:36:53 but we're going to find out what kind of test was that, Jay? Yeah, what kind was that? I hate that word because. Okay. Yeah, what kind of a test was it, though? It was a litmus. Yeah. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Okay, yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. The word is litmus. Yeah. It's like a lit Christmas. Yeah. Oh, nice. Is that going to help?
Starting point is 00:37:18 I don't know. But it is an M, right? Yes, it is. Okay. Because oftentimes I think it's litmus. I will say, I feel like I've heard you say that a few times. Yes. And then when I hear you, I'm like, do I have it wrong?
Starting point is 00:37:32 But just, I just did a little check. I have said the word litness at least 200 times in my life, at least. And I've said the word litness at least 10 times on this show. This is a good conversation because it let me pull up the points for game ranks for all of Dallas. Okay. We're talking about litmus. Dak is third.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Javante is fifth. Pickens is fourth. Ferguson is number one and that doesn't count Ceduley. Yeah. He's still working on it. So that's a fun game. Hopefully. Hopefully.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I mean, I will be in shambles if it turns out that a really good defense, which the Broncos have at home, slows down. If they can really slow down, hinder, you know, shut down the cowboys, I will be a mess because my entire life rests on the DAC CD stack. Your whole life, huh? That's my personal.
Starting point is 00:38:31 And you were saying they have a really rough schedule rest of the way. Correct. So your life is going to be weekly in the balance. I think it's going to be proven this week. If they go in there and put up 28 points in Denver, I will be fearless. Yeah. Okay. Tennessee is one and six.
Starting point is 00:38:48 They take on the six and one Indianapolis Colts. Colts are 14.5 point favorites. Okay. The over under is 47.5. Take it easy. I took them to cover. If you like take a creative writing class or you have an imagination or you've ever wished you could write a book or a short story or any of those things.
Starting point is 00:39:11 A little novella. Yeah. If you're one of those people, even you can't come up with the creative. path for the Tennessee Titans to win this ball game. There's not a path. I'm trying, I'm thinking through it. Anthony Richardson is on IR. Dang.
Starting point is 00:39:27 If they were to enlist the help of some sort of dragon maybe, they would close the gap. Gambling scheme, maybe that's going around. Oh, too soon. Too soon, Chauncey. Slow down. Oh, man, the NBA.
Starting point is 00:39:45 who would have thought that like just legalizing gambling would have any implications on competitive sports i was gonna earlier when we were talking about carcum wins get into the hall of fame again i was going to make a joke about wins pulling a chauncey it was just like oh but you held off i did now it's now it's yeah well now i get to make that joke yeah because honestly watching carson went it's kind of hard to explain what was happening looked on purpose looked bad on purpose yeah sometimes you just got to let the chips fall away back to the um the cold heavy favorites over under 47 and a half 31 point implied point total please play please play you know jonathan taylor please play michael pitman
Starting point is 00:40:25 yeah please play tyler warren and then daniel jones is probably in your lineup this week i love this and you can shoot your shot at the wide receivers and i would shoot it with alec pierce he's been really really good even with downs active earlier in the year i i love this chart we have um comparing the colts and the tennessee titans offense points per game. Colts. That's tweet worthy, by the way. First.
Starting point is 00:40:50 The Titans, 32nd. Point differential. Colts first. Titans, 32nd. Yards per play. First, 32nd. First downs per game. First, 32nd.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Red zone drives per game. First, 32nd. This is the best versus the worst. That's what we're getting. Which actually scares me for wide receivers in this game. You know, we not that the... Yeah, because you don't need to keep up. Yeah, that's my own.
Starting point is 00:41:14 If Jonathan Taylor, if Jonathan Taylor starts the game with two rushing touchdowns, he's going to end the game with eight. Yeah, this is. With eight. So this is, listen to where we're at with Cam Ward. And, um, please. Let me just tell you as a man getting into trading cards, demand on the Cam Ward cards has, uh, bottomed out. Um, four passing touchdowns through seven games, fewest total fantasy points through the first seven career starts of any quarterback drafted in the last in the first round over the last 20 years and um you know you can lay some
Starting point is 00:41:52 of that at the feet of bad weapons or coaching or offensive line or blah blah blah and then you lay the rest at his feet i mean it's it's he has looked he's looked bad every week of his career so far he's young he's early he i thought he looked better last week he did look a little bit better last week But you can look better and still be bad where he started. I just want to give him the credit. Tell me the Titans you're playing. Okay, hold on. I just did.
Starting point is 00:42:21 No, I mean, Pollard. The joke. Yeah, Pollard is someone that you, in a bi-poclips. You probably start Pollard. I would start him over Woody Marks. Okay. Yeah. And by the way, the final results of this poll, Mike.
Starting point is 00:42:36 64.8% of people prefer D.K. Metcalf rest of season. 35% was a flower's. not to globalize that to one week and one decision this week, obviously. But, yeah, that's about how I mean, you've had them both. I mean, you've got them both on your roster. You're going to be making that decision week in and week out. Very different types of players. Very, very different archetypes.
Starting point is 00:42:59 All right, we are going to take another break. I'm seeing somebody not over there. They want a break to go to the bathroom or something. All right, we're back, Green Bay, 4-1 and 1 taken on the 4-and-2 Pittsburgh Steelers, Vegas-Line Green Bay on the road minus 3. The over-under is 45 and a half. And here we go, Aaron Rogers' revenge game.
Starting point is 00:43:30 At home, great record. Packers traveling. We're looking at Rogers trying to join the exclusive group of quarterbacks who have beaten all 32 teams if he wins this team. Oh, is that where we are? Which is Farr, Manning, Breeze, and Brady. So there are three quarterback sitting at 31 other than him. Patrick Mahomes hasn't beaten the Chiefs. Oh, interesting. Matthew Stafford, somehow... To be on this list, you have to go to a different team. Yeah, Stafford has missed the Steelers, believe it or not. And then Russell Wilson has not beaten the Seahawks, and nor will he ever.
Starting point is 00:44:10 He will stay at 31. The Pittsburgh defense, not what it used to be. I like Jordan Love this week, so much so that he's my start of the week. They'll get Christian Watson back, most likely, not guaranteed at this point. Probably part-time this week. Yeah, I mean, the Steelers defense, 27th against quarterbacks, 28th against wideouts, 30th against tight ends. Tucker Kraft, please play him as well.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Also a start of the week. I can't help but think about your drugs yesterday with Jordan Love. You're concerned that the drugs. Everything I said yesterday was tainted. Was tainted by the... By the drugs. By the drugs, yes. I'm scared of Jordan Love.
Starting point is 00:44:51 It's possible. I don't really... You and I have just... We just don't agree on Jordan Love. He's Jordan-like for you, or Jordan Unlike or something. Yeah, Jordan-like is fine. He's Jordan-like, and I don't think we disagree on how he's playing. I think Jordan Love is a very good player.
Starting point is 00:45:07 He's leading them to good victories, but... fantasy-wise, he is, you know, he's not one of those guys that you expect to put up a ton of yardage on the ground, and he hasn't been throwing touchdowns. So this is Josh Jacobs' red zone offense, and so I just worry more that, I mean, we haven't seen him much, right? The consistency score for Jordan Love is really bad. He doesn't help you very much. And so sometimes he does. This might be that game. The Steelers' defense looked awful last week on the course of the season.
Starting point is 00:45:44 They haven't been very good. But they are at home in an important revenge game kind of for Aaron Rogers. Mike's bench of the week, D.K. McHav is on the other side. I'm going to say, Jared Goff and Jordan Love are like very similar to me this year of really
Starting point is 00:46:03 one explosive game for each of them. You know that any week it could have happened. Good offenses. And it's just, and every time it lines up, I mean, we're only, you know, what, seven weeks in, but this year, when it's lined up for a huge game, it just hasn't really come through. You know, it would help is if Matthew Golden had a touchdown. Like, we got Travis Hunter his first touchdown last week. Can we do this? Can we get this done? That would be very helpful. When you target Golden, he is great so far. Now,
Starting point is 00:46:36 they're just not doing it much, which you can lay that. I mean, target. It's earned, right? It's an earned stat. You've got to get separation. I'd like to see them make him more of a focal point of certain plays. But right now the focal point is Josh Jacobs, also Josh Jacobs, and then Jacobs, and then you move to the wide receivers. Yeah. Which, if you're taking a shot at a white out this week, Mike, Dobbs, Gold. It's always Romeo Dobbs for me. You got, fall, well, you got, the last three weeks has been six receptions, five, six. He's not, the three touchdown game against Dallas, That's a super outlier for him.
Starting point is 00:47:09 If you need 15 points, you play Golden or you play Dobbs? It's still Dobbs for me. Yeah, I mean, he had the three touchdown game. You just brought it up. It's just Matthew Golden. Jaylon Warren is a lock, right? TBD is he good. Jaylen Warren's a lock.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Aaron Rogers or Daniel Jones this week? Daniel Jones. Okay. Well, you just talked about, I was curious because you talked about like if Jonathan Taylor scores a couple times, they could take the... The difference for Daniel Jones. The difference for Daniel Jones. The difference for Daniel Jones.
Starting point is 00:47:38 is he could end up having rushing touchdowns at the end of the game. Like if, if, you know, he's vultured, I think, three touchdowns from Jonathan Taylor that have already made me angry, even though Jonathan Taylor leads the league in touchdowns. It's still never enough. Yeah, not for you. But I do think that that can happen to where he is okay if they're up. What if, like, DAC and CD are just pretty good? And then Jonathan Taylor only scores, like, twice.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Are you having the worst week of your life? Yeah. Aaron Rogers, by the way, big week last week, but he's been much worse than Daniel Jones. Jones is the quarterback six on the year. Jalen Warren is a lock for your lineup. Yeah, the matchup is... It's a tough one. It's not good, but Jalen Warren, dog.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Monday night football, the Washington commanders at 3 and 4 traveled to take on the Kansas City Chiefs who have an implied point total of this week of 30 points. Wow. Who are 12.5 point favorites. If you want to know whether a quarterback or two wide receivers coming back moves the line at all, not the wide receivers. The Chiefs are 12.5 point favorites. The O'Runders, 47 and a half.
Starting point is 00:48:48 That gives the commanders four fewer points projected this week than the Texans. They're at 17.5. What do they know? I think they know everything we are knowing about the Chiefs at this point. Talk about the Texans. Oh, about the Texans? Yeah. I mean, my goodness.
Starting point is 00:49:05 What is happening? it's going to be like I do not care to watch the Texas play football this year but now I'll be glued locked in on that game what's really hard is I've had this totally gonna win I've had this decision of like
Starting point is 00:49:21 because I have Jaden Daniels he's hurt and our league has a lot of backups rostered and I have nobody to pick from and so it's like Mario or Michael Pinnock has been this decision for me you know you're sitting out there on Waverwire that I don't even think about it's CJ Stroud it's like he's sitting there and I'm like
Starting point is 00:49:35 I can't do that right No, don't do it. Especially, if Nico is out, no way. Right. No, I know. I know. It's just, I guess it's me saying I'm a little sad because, um, like we were in a better place with him years ago. And the hope and the potential, uh, by the way, Cam Skadaboo just got fined $15,000 for, um, violating the concussion protocol by going into the blue tent for Jackson's dark. Oh, is that what he did? Oh. When he went in the blue tint to check on him, he broke protocol. And they also, they find the Giants $200,000 and Brian Dable $100,000. Yeah, because. Oh, that, that one makes more sense, DeBall, because it was, that was sketchy behavior. Yeah. I was like, no, Dart, you can't, DeBal cannot tell the medical guy to, I need my quarterback, stop. No, no, he can't.
Starting point is 00:50:28 And I feel like Scataboo actually should be paid as more of a consultant because he's an expert on the concussion area of life. he should have been given $15,000. All right, let's get back to this game that is wild. Patrick Mahomes. He's just checking on his friend. Yeah. If I get concussed, I want you guys to check on me in the blue tank. No way.
Starting point is 00:50:47 It's 15 grand. Yeah, that's too much money, man. Yeah, okay. Mahomes, play him. Yeah. Implied point total is wild. The big start this week, I think Breschard Smith's going to be good. The way they're talking about him, the fact, Kareem Hunt is probably out.
Starting point is 00:51:01 I mean, he has missed practice and isn't getting used a lot. The other argument there is obviously that Pacheco, after having a season high in opportunities last week, maybe they just ride that and he's getting more acclimated and they give him more. It's very, very McKinnon-e of which if you played fantasy football long enough, we had a year where Jerich McKinnon was just a hero on limited snaps and limited touches. He was a touchdown machine. I know Smith had 19 opportunities last week.
Starting point is 00:51:32 you know they did beat the Raiders 31 to zero so I'm sure that that factored into it because he only played 35% of the snaps but i mean i'm not opposed to it he he has juice the five receptions for 42 yards is is very intriguing but i think it makes like this will be the first week where i would play pacheco with actual confidence and not just a i have no one else to put in my lineup yeah agree so i guess pacheco's in pacheco seems like a like a fine play this week and and i also agree that Breschard Smith could be an okay like when we're talking about that category of all the backups that we would play. Richard Smith is is ahead of most of them. Monongai or Smith? Yeah, I would go Smith. So Rashi Rice only played 41% of snaps last week, but that led to 10 targets, two touchdowns. Just 42 yards receiving, but that's, you know, it's like a yard per snap percentage there.
Starting point is 00:52:26 It was an excellent game. Please play him. Yep. Now, Xavier Worthy, what's the truth about? Xavier Worthy at this point where we know that the injury he suffered was going to be a it was going to be something that forced him to wear a brace and deal with the rest of the season once it happened in week five we really haven't seen big numbers from Xavier Worthy he's more just a piece of this machine right now and when they really needed him they kind of forced the issue
Starting point is 00:52:54 got him out there but they don't need him right now with rushy rice so I expect a few touches and you're just hoping for a touchdown, I would rather look elsewhere. Travis Kelsey is a top, what, tight-in rest of the season? 50. We're going to need to... I promise. We're going to need to hone that in.
Starting point is 00:53:13 He's a top 40. 30. He's a top 30. 25. Okay. He is a top 25. He's a top 25. Top 12.
Starting point is 00:53:24 No. Really? Yeah. You think he's not a top 12 tied in? He'll finish the season as a top 12. tight end. Well, I'm saying rest of the season. You would pick 12 other tight ends over in? Correct. Wow. I mean, we saw it. And you are not on drugs. No, not at all. All right. I have a cup of coffee. Mind is clear. The first three weeks last year with
Starting point is 00:53:45 rushing rice. Got bad news. That's what it is. The first three weeks, the target share went down so much for Travis Kelsey. And while he did have a 44-yard broken play this last week, he only had three targets in the game is just kind of like I worry a lot about Kelsey going forward Mike how do you feel about these commanders this week Bill I would avoid if I could
Starting point is 00:54:14 there's unfortunately the is there a world where while we aren't playing them this week we learn something new in terms of Mick Nichols or Chris Rodriguez I don't think so okay you think Bill's the dude yeah I do think he is the guy of anyone from Washington, but it still hasn't come through in good
Starting point is 00:54:35 matchups. Will you play Bill or Breschard Smith? You play Bill? Oh, man. Yeah, I think I would play Bill. I know that's not a fun question, Mike. No. I'm sorry to put you in that position. No, it's not. Would you play Bill or Ken Walker? Ken Walker. Bill or Jordan Mason last night?
Starting point is 00:54:58 Wait, is Walker's on by I was like, oh, sorry, sorry, I was looking at points per game. I tried to go what team is he playing? I was right by him on points per game and I didn't even think about this schedule. Rashad White though. Oh, Rashad White, yes, for sure. Debo and McCloran coming back. Are they back in your lineup in this game where they're
Starting point is 00:55:14 only projected 17 points? No, no, they're only projected 17 points. This is just bum town. You have a matchup? It is. Mariota and a very good defense. So, no, I mean, right now the fewest fantasy points given up on the season to wide receivers is the Chiefs. Yeah, yeah, that's where
Starting point is 00:55:31 them coming back just doesn't persuade me to play Mariotta anyways. All right, one injury update for you. Bryce Young doubtful and Andy Dalton will officially start regardless of whether he's the backup and dealing with the injury or the emergency quarterback.

Andy Dalton more than 32 and a half passing attempts. like that. I'm going to go with what I have been doing pretty much all season. The projection keeps going up. I'm still taken. Jordan Love more than 12 and a half rushing yards is his current projection. This is ridiculous. Mike just reached out to find his microphone with his hands like a blind man. Are you suffocating? When I pull the mask down, it chokes me. Sorry, bro. I got
Starting point is 00:58:20 check this one out. Dylan Gabriel. Oh. 33. point five pass attempts more oh so we both went past attempts yeah because he's going to have to throw a lot against the Patriot no that's that's fair my running back playing a little a fun one here

Starting point is 00:58:55 Ollie Gordon. Oh my gosh. Tommy Trimble strikes again. What is wrong with you? His longest rush is going to be less than seven and a half yards. The nice thing is he's getting like... He doesn't get a lot of them. He's getting like three runs. That's a little interesting. All right. So I'm like...
Starting point is 00:59:11 But if you lose that one, I'm going to make fun of you. Very few chances. Mike, you're running back. I got Javante Williams against the Broncos. Rushing yards in first five attempts. Oh, the same one as Annie. Yeah. 18 and a half. Okay. Oh, you're going...
Starting point is 00:59:26 Against the Broncos? Okay. Okay, you're going under. That's a less, sorry. Drake, London at wide receiver is going... This is awful. I'm sorry, Mike. I didn't know how...
Starting point is 00:59:39 I got no report on how suffocating that was. I just knew it looked funny, which it does. Drake London is my green goblin. I'm going more than three and a half receptions for Drake London. Same. Oh, you have the same thing? Same. That's funny.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Oh, wow. Neat. That means you don't have to talk. as much. Hmm. I have three different wide receivers I'm picking between. Wait, right now? Right now. Yeah, because I just, I loved a lot of them. I'm going to go. What? Is this allowed? Well, I mean, I'm making it official right now. Yeah, here we go. I have some. I'm going to take a first game back. Christian Watson. We're going to see him for the first time. You like Jordan love. You say he's a good start of the week. I'm going to take him more than one and a half receptions.
Starting point is 01:00:23 I think he'll get the ball a couple times in this game. Kate Otten, more than 39 and a half receiving yards is my tight end. My tight end is my green goblin. Evan Ingram is going to be more than three and a half receptions against Dallas. I love that you have. So so far, let me just get this straight. One, you have Ollie Gordon in one of your picks. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Two, you told me I'm on drugs about Jordan Love and then went with him. And then three, you just picked who? Evan Ingram. Who you love. I know that Evan Ingram will get a lot of worthless receptions. Mike is begging us to stop talking. I burped in here and it was real gross. Okay.
Starting point is 01:01:03 All right. You're tied in, Mike. Travis Kelsey, longest reception, 18 and a half yards. Yeah. Less than that. A couple of less there. All right. We'll see if you're back in that death mask.
