Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome into the Ringerverse from The Ringer. My name is Mallory Rubin. And I'm Van Lathan Mal. Before we get started, does anyone want to know what the Ringiverse is? The Ringerverse is one podcast feed with multiple shows on all things, superheroes, neuroculture, and fandom entertainment. Instant reactions to new releases, theory breakdowns, fun takes on the latest news, and more.
Starting point is 00:00:20 Whether you're a casual fan or an obsessive like us, our shows are worthy of all your fandom needs. So head to the Ringerverse and follow the show now on Spotify. To the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyfitz. I am joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Coralbeck. We are going to go through waivers today, all the players you should add to your teams, and obviously showdown time.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I can't do it as well as you, Craig. No one can. No. But first, we have injuries to get to. Wow, a lot of injuries. Not a lot of clarity, though. Usually we get clarity on Mondays. Today, it's just like still like murkiness, but we're going to go through it anyway.
Starting point is 00:01:09 All right, number one. Andy Dalton, quarterback for the Chicago Bears, knee injury, bone bruise borderline ACL? Who knows? But it seems unlikelyish that he's going to play. D.K. First of all, we've been telling people that Justin Fields all season.
Starting point is 00:01:24 But first off, if Dalton, let's say Dalton doesn't play this week, obviously, you're going to add Justin Fields if he's on your waivers. Would you play Justin Fields this week if Andy Dalton is out? Is he a top 12 option? Man, that's tough. I think so. And the reason is
Starting point is 00:01:41 because if you watched him yesterday when he came in in relief, I don't have the numbers exactly right in front of me, but I want to say he threw it like 10 times and he ran like 10, or he threw it like 12 times and he ran like 10. So he was scrambling plenty. And of course, that is exactly what you're looking for,
Starting point is 00:01:55 you know, from a dual threat quarterback. That's why it's so important in fantasy. It's why we rely on these guys with, you know, so little experience and maybe, honestly, but just straight up bad passing stats,
Starting point is 00:02:07 it's because they're rushed. It's because what they can do on the field. So he had 13 pass attempts. He was 6 to 13 for 60 yards. had a really pretty egregious interception and then he had 10 rushes for 31 yards. I just think just picture Jalen Hertz last year. You know, his passing numbers weren't strong,
Starting point is 00:02:23 but he brings so much on the ground and in the red zone particularly that I think he's worth a start. Now, I don't know, if you're conservative, you might want to just wait one week and see how it goes, but there's always the chance, too, that he's going to get, you know, that Dalton's going to come back the week after
Starting point is 00:02:40 because the bears seem like really just strength, in favor of starting Justin of starting any Dalton L season I don't know why but you know if this isn't a long-term injury then you might kind of miss your shot so he's he's a guy I would say like is a good streamer if you don't have better options but
Starting point is 00:02:56 I'm not like a hundred percent confident in this this week Fields had 60 pass a yards it was super deceptive Alan Robinson dropped like a 30 yard touchdown Darnell Mooney dropped like a 20 yard pass that was right in the sense Fields actually I mean he had four kind of like rookie mistakes a pick a strip sack yet he had
Starting point is 00:03:13 He did the clapping thing too many times, like the Kyler Murray did last year. We were like, just clap too much. He got called for full start. But like, he also had, he also almost doubled his passing yardage, only two plays that weren't really his fault. So I thought he looked great.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Are you confident that the Bears can, can use him properly and the play calling will be there? I actually am. I don't know about you, D.K. I mean, I have very little faith in Nagy at this point, to be totally honest. That could change, though. I mean, I'm open to changing my mind on that
Starting point is 00:03:42 based on how they use him. but right now it's just this whole song and dance about Dalton being better is just I'm over. I'm done with it. It's like so annoying. Dalton hasn't looked good to me at all. But they're backing away from it. Also, he's hurt. Look, it's too early in the week to speculate, but I don't think right. I guess I just speculate right now. But I don't think Andy Dalton got my gut says like Eddie Dalton will play this week.
Starting point is 00:04:03 I do think if Fields plays, I think he's actually going to be pretty good out the gate. You don't have to start him immediately. But if you've had Trevor Lawrence or Ryan Tannahill, these guys who have just been like blowing it for you, I think like, like Stafford's been good, but like the back end quarterbacks, I think you can roll the dice of the fields. Like, what do you have to lose? I agree. So the only thing I would typically I would totally agree with you, they are playing Cleveland next week at Cleveland. Very good pass rush.
Starting point is 00:04:28 There's two sides of the coin here because on one hand, I think the one thing he's not done well at yet. And this is like a big worry is just identifying pressure. Like everybody made a big deal about how he got totally, you know, his head taken off in preseason. and then Tom Brady later came out and said that was his own fault because he didn't set the protections right and stuff. I think that's been like sort of the one main concern with him so far. And that's like a normal thing for a rookie quarterback. They just have to figure all that stuff out.
Starting point is 00:04:54 He hasn't done a good enough of a job of protecting himself. So I could see him get sacked a whole bunch, but also at the same time on the other side of the coin, maybe that just means he's scrambling all game and actually it ends up being good for fantasy. But regardless, it means ad fields if he's available. And if he's not, then congrats if you have him. Okay, now Carson Wend's spraying both ankles
Starting point is 00:05:13 According to you in Rappaport? Impressive. I have spraying both of my ankles before. Not at the same time, but... How do you even walk at that point? Do you just ride around in a wheelchair? Are you not, if you're limping on both legs, is that just considered not limping?
Starting point is 00:05:26 You're just walking. I gotta be honest, Patrick Mahomes always looks like he's walking on two spraying ankles. You ever seen Patrick Mahomes walk? Like on the sideline. She walks like he has, like one shoulder's higher than the other or something. Well, no, it's...
Starting point is 00:05:39 Did you catch that Tony Romo or Nance one of them said that when, or no, they were doing the other game. Whoever was announcing that she, oh, Sunday football,
Starting point is 00:05:45 the Collinsworth and then were saying that when he was running in the Super Bowl, his toe injury meant that he had a ball his toes to run in that game. And remember he ran like 400 yards
Starting point is 00:05:53 or something behind the line of scrimmage. I feel like he walks like that all the time. I know. That's what I'm saying. Isn't that normal? Anyways. It's very weird. Wence now actually has two sprained ankles.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I don't think anyone has Wents on their fantasy teams and one quarterback leagues, but this is tough for Michael Pittman and basically all cult's fantasy relevance of J. Jacob Eason has to play for any extended stretch. I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:13 Pittman, I think, is a pretty easy bench if Jake he's in this, the starter. Also, might be tough for Jonathan Taylor. We'll just check in on Wence, if he even ends up playing this week. We'll see. We can check in on that later this week. Also, Tua, Tungo Viloa, just has a rib injury for the dolphins, but still don't know if he's going to play. So that would obviously be annoying.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We'll check in on him later this week, but it wasn't more serious than that. Tyrod Taylor, Texans quarterback. He's day to day with hamstring injury. They're playing on Thursday night, though, so, like, we'll see if he can play, but it might be Davis and Mills. I'm pretty sure he's been out. He's already rolled out. Okay. DeJon Watson will not be playing that game. So it is Davis Mills against the Panthers D. So spoiler alert, you can stream the Panthers D.
Starting point is 00:06:50 This is such a weird, like, it's a weird Monday because there's like a million quarterbacks hurt, but none of them are fantasy starters, you know? Exactly. And it's like, it tangentially affects all the receivers under them, but we don't have answers yet. I'm like, should you play Jalen Waddle? Well, is Jacoby Reset playing for the dolphins or two? Like, we don't know. So we kind of just have to, circle back and all this. Yeah. We don't really have answers.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Speaking of not having answers, the Niners, running backs, remember all three of their running backs got hurt yesterday? Yeah. That was cool, super chill.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Sheesh. So Elijah Mitchell left with a shoulder injury. And then Jamichael Hastie had an ankle injury, apparently it's a high ankle sprain. And then Trey Sermann got one carrying guy concussion, and Elijah Mitchell basically had to go back in. Yeah, he did return.
Starting point is 00:07:34 So if you spit all your fab or you used your waiver priority on Mitchell, he seems to be all right. He's day to day with the shoulder. Hasty's going to be out a while. It's a high ankle sprain. That's going to be like definitely a multi-week absence, maybe a month sermon we have no idea.
Starting point is 00:07:48 But right now I think Mitchell, it's like, you're all right. He's a starting running back. And oddly in a better position now in a way. Well, I mean, obviously the injury is a concern. But yes, yes, like it seems now they has less competition for snaps. They bring, who are they bringing in? They're bringing in Duke.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Lamar Miller. Do you John. And, oh, my God. For workouts. What other washed up guy that I had forgotten existed until Chefter tweeted it. The Ravens have all of them at this point. The Ravens quartered. I don't know how that's going to go.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Well, I mean, I feel like you should spend 100% of your fab money on Duke Johnson because he's the greatest running back ever, right? I don't think, I don't think. Is this an old bit of ours that I don't remember? No, every fantasy analyst for like, there was like a two-year stretch where everyone was like, David John, or Duke Johnson is so much better than David Johnson. Or Duke Johnson is so much better than Lamar Miller. He was always, he was like the Tony Pollard of like 2018. And everybody was convinced he was just better than every running back who was starting.
Starting point is 00:08:39 starting ahead of him. And that didn't really work out. This is a little niche for me. But yeah, sure. Don't actually get to Johnson. Craig is absolutely right. He was like the fantasy analyst's like favorite running back. Point being, Elijah Mitchell is going to be all right. Daryl Henderson for the Rams also has a ribs injury. Don't know if he's going to miss time. Generally speaking, ribs, it's kind of like a pain tolerance thing, which you know, it's just your running back. It's fine. It's just like a loved dude's trying to hit you in every play. Like, it's totally fine. Yeah, they don't take hard hits at all. Yeah, they're playing the box defense. I don't even know if they have anyone good. So it's like a bad defense. And the crappy thing.
Starting point is 00:09:09 about this is when Sony Michelle was traded to the Rams, he was pretty much picked up immediately by the majority of leagues, like two-thirds of leagues already have Sony Michelle. So if you have Gerald Anderson, there's really nothing you can do
Starting point is 00:09:19 if he sits in terms of getting his backup. I still think Sony, the second half of the season, Sony Michelle is like a top 15 running back. Like, I think Sony Michelle will need like a month-ish maybe more to integrate, but that eventually he will have this job
Starting point is 00:09:34 and be really insanely valuable. Have you guys thought that, yeah, have you watched, Henderson and individually and thought anything of it? Like, has he looked good? Is he look bad? What's your thought on that? Has he gone three weeks without... I mean, a rib injury
Starting point is 00:09:47 here's the thing. When the questionable designation goes away, it's not like they're just better. He's just playing through it. Like, this rib problem will just be there all year. Highly unlikely it gets better. It's just like you just manage the pain each week. So that right there, he's probably not going to be able to have as big of a snap count as you
Starting point is 00:10:02 want because of, you know, the bruised ribs which protects all your internal organs. And they are playing the bucks. this week. Yeah. So it's okay. Yeah, that's a fade regardless. It's also not like, you know, Sue and them know he is. It's okay. It's not great. It's tough for Daryl. We'll see if he plays. Other one, Jarvis Landry, he left literally after two snaps, I think, one snap, two snaps. He had a sprained MCL. He is week to week. My God, D.K. So O'Dell is not playing right now with two weeks. Is he going to be back for week three, though? I don't even know if he's, has O'Dell even
Starting point is 00:10:34 done live contact yet? I'm not even sure he's done tackling drills. Yeah. So it's not like Odell's going to come out and play 60 snaps. I think it'll be like a 15-20 warm-up of a little thing. D.K., what do you, like, are any of the Browns receivers worth picking up, or is it just like their tight ends will just get more of the receiving value? I mean, this is so tough because, look, we saw Anthony Schwartz in week one was kind of a surprise five target. I think he had three catches for 60-something yards. It was like a pretty solid day for him. And he came back out last week and had zero points. I don't know if I would trust any of these guys. Like, Donovan, People's Jones was a big preseason hype guy.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Like, you know, all the beat writers were talking about him. He was lighten it up and camp all this stuff. And I saw this on Twitter today. He's run like 85 routes or something. It has like two targets this year. So I definitely don't trust either of these guys. The tight end situation is so hard too because it's three guys. It's David Njoku, Austin Hooper, and Harrison Bryant,
Starting point is 00:11:31 and any three of these guys could go off in any given week. And it wouldn't surprise me, but I don't know which one to pick. don't know which got to lean on. I guess I lean Austin Hooper because he's like the de facto starter, but I think Injoku's actually looked better and more dynamic lately. All three of those tight ends have had a game already this year with over 40 yards, which is kind of crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:49 There you go. I think Odell and Jarvis being, if they're both out for this game, I think that actually is better for the Hooper and Injoku of the world than it is necessarily. I mean, I assume so. And then one final guy who you just put on your guys as radar is Demetrick Felton, rookie, who had a couple of catches in a big long
Starting point is 00:12:06 touchdown this past week. He was another guy in the preseason that every time he touched the ball. He really reminds me of Tony Pollard. Stylistically, he's the same type of player, like a
Starting point is 00:12:15 running back who's also kind of a receiver. He was a receiver in college. And he has that eligibility on Yahoo. He is both. Yeah. He's just, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:12:25 man. He's the type of guy who he fell to the six round because he did not test well in the combine and everything, but he was a good player for UCLA. He was very dynamic.
Starting point is 00:12:34 He looked good at the Senior Bowl. He's one of the Senior Bowl standouts. In fact, I think he, I think he was voted by his opponents, by defensive opponents as the player of the week at the senior wall.
Starting point is 00:12:43 So that's, I mean, he was like really good there and, you know, and he's looked really good in the preseason. He's dynamic. And he had, in his limited opportunity,
Starting point is 00:12:49 he got, I think, two catches this past week. And he turned one of them into like a 30-something year touchdown. So I don't know. He's another guy to keep in mind. I would definitely not start him this week. But,
Starting point is 00:12:58 you know, just- he's a deeper ad. If he, yeah, if he earns more opportunities going forward, kind of like the Pollard type player, you know,
Starting point is 00:13:06 that's just someone I have on your radar. The people who email us and are like, you don't cover 16 team leagues, that Felton's for you. There you go. There you go. Okay, also, Deonté Johnson,
Starting point is 00:13:15 after Craig was like, he totally tore his ACL. Apparently, he's like, okay. He might not play this week, but he's not a serious injury. No, he tore it. You think so?
Starting point is 00:13:22 He's going to do it. Who is that NBA player didn't have any ACL? Dewan Blair? Who's the guy? Wasn't there, wasn't Jay Ajai? He didn't like J.I. He had, like,
Starting point is 00:13:30 no carly between his bones and his knees. He did that too. But Deonti literally tears his ACL every week and recovers in five days and then plays. That man was agonizing in pain, writhing on the field, and he's fine? What happened then? This happens like once a game, too. I thought this happened in week one.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I was like, sure. I was so sure. Oh, he's out. Yes. That's a season ended. He ran into a guy on like a crack block and like went down like a sack of doorknobs and was like holding his leg. And I was like, well, he's done.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And then he came back like three plays later. and it happened again last week. Don't take any offense to this either of you, because when I see an injury, I'm like, I know the severity of that, like, based on what I saw. When other people tell me what they think, I could not give less of a shit.
Starting point is 00:14:15 What, like, oh, I saw it look bad. He's probably a this. I'm like, you have no idea. Well, I trust me, but nobody else unless they're a doctor. Have you not seen the play? No, I don't go seek out the injury plays. Absolutely not. High Fitz, what if we start,
Starting point is 00:14:28 what if we start speaking in terms, like, it was the, It was a high ankle injury mechanism. The mexonism for a high ankle spray. It was the subluxation. What if I went and got my medical degree, then would you trust me? I get my medical information from Twitter. That's what God wanted me to do.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Okay. So point is, Deonté might not play this week, but apparently he's all right. Unbelievable. I mean, that's great news. Honestly, it's really great news because he's, I think, on track to be a wide receiver one. Well, again, the only two dudes who've gotten a third of their receiving, like the team's receiving chair. week is Deonté Johnson and Cooper Cup, which is pretty...
Starting point is 00:15:04 And that's really impressive for Deonté because he is doing it with a tour and ACL every week. Every week. It's really amazing. All right. We're going to get to showdown time. You're not sure how this works. We barely know either, but it's okay.
Starting point is 00:15:15 So we're going to go position by position, and we're going to give our favorite player that we want to add this week. But like waivers, only one person can get the guy. So if we both want the same guy at a position, we got to do a tiebreaker. For you guys, maybe it's waiver or fab. For us, it's trivia. we're going to go through trivia, winner gets the guy, loser has to tuck their tail between their legs and get someone else.
Starting point is 00:15:35 So with that said, can I just start preface this by saying this week was a lot more bleak than week one. Oh yeah, week one was like, wow, look at all these guys that. And this one was like, geez. I'm wondering if we're even going to have any showdown. I actually am wondering that. Yeah. Like this might just be a time.
Starting point is 00:15:52 No showdown. So should we do this at the same time or like, you want to go one by one? Well, we can just all say who our top running back is. Okay. I hate myself already. Three, two, one, Corderole Patterson. Yeah, I'm too. Yeah, okay, so three-way, all right.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I hate myself. You know, yeah, it was, like, kind of close. Like, it was more of, like, a default decision because I didn't like anything else. It's not that I, like, loved Cordarell, but I just kind of was like, well, there's nothing really else out there. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I was very, very close to doing another guy on this. And also, I had to go double check to make sure that the leagues even have him with, like, running back eligibility. because I know that for my football league, which is a big dynasty league platform, I think they have him as a wide receiver, so he's definitely not usable in that format
Starting point is 00:16:38 or not like as consistently. However, for people that are on that, by the way, I saw them tweet this. In your individual leagues, you can change his eligibility yourself as the commissioner, so go do that. But he's a running back on ESPN. He's a running back on Yahoo.
Starting point is 00:16:53 He's running back slash receiver. Yeah, he's. And to be clear, to my Mike Davis radicals, I am not giving up on Mike Davis. nor do I think any of you should. This is a tough week. Good vote of confidence for fun.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Well, I am just saying that. Corderole is basically just, he's like a J.D. McKissick or a James White, but just bigger. This is his role in the. He's like the biggest third downback I've ever seen is the biggest past. Those guys are usually small, like off the necklars, James White. He's just like chilling at like six or whatever is. And his jersey's always untucked.
Starting point is 00:17:20 So he always just looks enormous. He's got long hair. He looks so big. Yeah, he has that like laissez-faire swag. I like it. So yeah, how tall he's a six two, 220. it's large. Anyway, I just think he's worth the ad.
Starting point is 00:17:31 So especially if anything happens our beloved Mike Davis. So let's, if it's unanimous, I don't think we have to expand upon this. Like, he's especially in PPR leagues. Patterson's worth an ad this week. He's only on like 8% of lease, so he's around everywhere.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Let's do showdown time. Winner, winner gets Cordero. Cordarell? All right. All right. This is the, is it Cordarell or Cordarell? I was just wondering that.
Starting point is 00:17:50 I say Cordarell. I actually think you're right. I don't know. We'll figure that out. This is a Cordarellel Patterson showdown. All right, this is an email from Nick, and honest, this is my favorite question.
Starting point is 00:18:03 We've gotten quite some time. What is the current price of corn per bushel? Fuck. What's a bushel? I was wondering the same. I have no idea what a bushel is. How big is a bushel? I don't know how big a bushel is.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I assume it's, I don't know if it's per per ears of corn. Are we saying, like, purchase price in terms of like, like, well, US dollars. How much money? is the current price of a bushel of corn. Am I going directly to the farm? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Okay. Yeah. Farm to table. By the way, before we get into this, before we answer, what I'm seeing on the internet, but that's always dubious at best, it's Cordarell Patterson. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:45 So I was right. Sick. I think I should get him for the trivia. So now we're talking a bushel of corn. How much does the bushel of corn? Which is a huge problem for this. Do you guys all want to look up what a bushel of corn is? Are we allowed to look up the bushel?
Starting point is 00:18:57 No, no, no. I think that makes it, we have to know this. It's trivia. Make peace with your God, figure out your number, and when you guys are ready, I'm going to count down from three. I could be so wrong. I just wish I knew what a bushel was. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:13 You guys ready? Yeah, sure. All right. Yeah. Three, two, one, $100. $4.20. You said $4.75. I said $100.
Starting point is 00:19:20 You said, what, DK? I said 20. All right, let's see. How much is a bushel? God, we got to see. I don't even. A bushel could be like an entire tree. I don't know why in my head I imagined it was like seven.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Like a little bushel. Like shit. Is that right? It's like five bucks. Yes. Damn it. How much is a, how much is a bushel?
Starting point is 00:19:42 Oh, that's huge. I didn't remember this. Who is the senator from Iowa? Yeah. Joni something and she got the price of soybeans wrong. And everyone was like, how dare you not the price of soybeans?
Starting point is 00:19:52 One bushel of corn is equal to 56 pounds. So 56 pounds of corn. corn costs $5? I can't be correct. That's a lot of corn. That's no way we just got that way. What a deal. I got to get to a form.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We just, there's no way that's correct. Wait, did the person who sent you this trivia send you an answer?
Starting point is 00:20:10 Yeah, they did. I'm looking live right now at the price of corn. If you Google it, it says a corn price of $5.70 per bushel. That is, it says $5. If anyone knows more about corn per bushel prices than us,
Starting point is 00:20:23 please email ringerfanasyfootball. Gmail. Jeez, these grocery stores are running a damn rat. it. This is, no, this is like actually in line because the soybean thing is also, that looks right in my, you know, I'm an extensive history of buying soybeans by the Burshal. All right. Anyway, I think, so who got that right?
Starting point is 00:20:41 I said 475. I absolutely nailed it. That's really close. That's like an actual bid. Wait, what was the actual answer? Like 5-507? Like a real bid. I'm also on a bid website.
Starting point is 00:20:53 That's incredible. Hell yeah. Great start. Hot start. Okay. You get Corridor Patterson. Cordarral. Cordarral Patterson.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Damn it. D.K., who's your next, you were closer, so you get the next, your next pick of running back. So I'm going with J.D. McKissick from Washington football team. So he's 29% on Yahoo!
Starting point is 00:21:11 Rostored. You know, it's one of those things where it's tough to know if this was just an outlier one-off game where he was really heavily utilized in the passing game, or if it was more a referendum on how the team feels about him going forward.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Because look at, I mean, last year, he led all, running backs and targets. They had 110 targets. They clearly liked him enough to give him those targets. You know, this year it was supposed to be Antonio Gibson sort of transitioning and leveling up and becoming the guy that we all like want him to be, which is a like more close to a three down guy. He was a receiver in college. That was a big thing everyone's talking about. He's a receiver in college and now they don't use them in the passing game. But I think the thing
Starting point is 00:21:53 that people forget, or maybe they just don't want to remember this, is that J.D. McKissick was also a receiver in college. And he's also very good in the passing game. He's like an effective route runner. He runs vertical routes. I don't know. I kind of just think McKissick is good and they realize this and they just want to continue to use him sort of in this role.
Starting point is 00:22:12 So there's always a chance that McKissick gets completely phased out again as he was in week one and it's just like you're never going to see him again. But I think it's worth picking him up because down the stretch, I mean, he was like a running back one in PPR because if he was getting so many targets, it's worth the risk. gets worth the gamble, go grab him now in case that usage starts picking up again. And they start using them, especially now with Taylor Heineke
Starting point is 00:22:35 taking over, this isn't the Ryan Fitzpatrick show anymore, at least not for the next like eight weeks. And so maybe this means there's going to be more checkdowns. Maybe they're going to be more conservative on offense. Maybe it just means J.D. McKissick is going to have a much bigger role than we thought. So he had, I think, 20
Starting point is 00:22:51 points of PBR last week, and this was like in line with what he did towards the end of last year, and maybe this is just who he is. Yeah, you have to wonder if it's, I was just going to say, I think it's the Taylor Heinecke thing. You know, maybe they're giving him a security blanket. And, you know, he's a little bit more comfortable having a dump off. And Fitzpatrick is such, you know, a downfield vertical guy that maybe didn't make as much sense in that offensive scheme. And now it does with Taylor Heineke.
Starting point is 00:23:13 McKessick played 43% of the snaps in week two. He played 36% in week one. It's not a huge difference. But it's the amount of rows he ran and how much they actually threw to him. Okay. So you got Cordell Patterson, Craig, D. D.K. taking Shady McKissick. I look at my other options.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I'm just thinking, I cannot believe I thought a bushel of corn was $100. I just feel like everything, all these agricultural like vegetables fruits are all dirty cheap. What were you picturing? I was picturing like a pallet's coming off a truck.
Starting point is 00:23:40 I had a truck in my mind of like how many bushels are in a truck and I was off. I was thinking like a basket, like a small wooden basket of corn. Okay. To get to the farmer's market. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Anyway. So I'm between, I'm going to give two guys. because they're very different. One is just Alexander Madison from the Vikings because Dalvin Cook got banged up twice in the same game and like, I don't know, throw in Alex
Starting point is 00:24:05 Madison, like, why not? He's a top 20 running back minimum every week. It's just, it's not rocket science, just like, if you're at all worried about Dalvin Cook, like, throw him in. But if you don't want someone to just wait for someone to get injured and the bad karma associated with that, Ty Johnson for the Jets, not roster in a lot of leagues, he's like
Starting point is 00:24:21 the primary guy. This is like not a three-headed monsters so much with Ty Jop. Monsters, maybe the wrong word. But Ty Johnson, Tevin Coleman, and Michael Carter. Tevin Coleman's not really a thing. Ty Johnson's the receiving back. And I don't know if you guys saw this Jets game. I think there's going to be one lesson for Zach Wilson,
Starting point is 00:24:35 which is check the ball down. I think that Ty Johnson is playing, I think Ty Johnson is almost twice as many third down snaps as the other two dudes combined. Like, he's the past catching guy. They're going to have to check down more of the Jets. So it's kind of just a little speculative unlike Zach Wilson's going to have to throw on mortars back.
Starting point is 00:24:51 So, yeah. With Carter, I think both of those guys, If Carter's out in your league, it's worth picking them up. Right now, he's 50% rostered on Yahoo. So that's probably, it's a maybe for a lot of people's leagues. But we start out of the season, this is a three-headed monster. It looks like Kevin Coleman's out of the picture. At least he was this last week.
Starting point is 00:25:10 So that's good. Two guys you can deal with. And this is like, you know, this is the reality of fantasy football now. There's always going to be, like, for most of teams, there's two guys they have to deal with. Three is really tough. What would be cool with a three-headed monster, but it's a team like the Jets where it's like not very sky. three-headed puppy.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Right. Puppies are cute. You love looking at puppies. It's still ugly to look at. It's just not scary. It's just off-putting. One other guy I want to add here. That's right,
Starting point is 00:25:37 because it's running the other direction and hope it doesn't stink on you. Okay. One guy we didn't mention, I thought that we'd throw out again. We might have mentioned him last week, but Kenneth game. Yeah, he was second on my list.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Yeah. He's 36% rostered in Yahoo. He has a clear and defined role as the past catching back, or pass catching back in this offense. They played the 49ers this week. It was really rough sailing for them. But going forward against not as good of defenses,
Starting point is 00:26:04 they could really get him more involved. And, you know, he's looked really dynamic. Honestly, he's, like, very elusive in space. And I think they're going to continue to use him in the offense. So he's worth a guy. He's like a flex option if you're really desperate. Yeah, he's getting like eight to ten touches a game and Boston Scott hasn't touched the ball once this season.
Starting point is 00:26:24 All right, let's get to receiver. So Craig gets Cordill-Pattison, Darrell. D.K. Gets. I already forgot. I have J.D. McKissick. And I'm, I'll probably take Madison, but I also get where you're saying, but gain well on them. I just don't like
Starting point is 00:26:37 Dalvin Cookup, Banking, twice the same game. Okay. Wide receiver. Dekha, who's your number one receiver waiver pick for this week? Rondea Moore from the Cardinals. Yeah, same. Did we all pick this? Okay. Just remember, one of us said that, to do that last week, just want to throw it out
Starting point is 00:26:51 and was kind of made fun, but it's fine. All right. Trivia question. Wait, wait. Yeah, sorry. I stepped on you, Craig. This is the Rondale Moore Showdown. That was so different than your other ones.
Starting point is 00:27:08 You got to keep it. Got to keep people guessing. This is from your workshop. It's from Nelson. What's the combined value of the 10 most expensive Tom Brady football cards ever sold? Oh, my God. We got to get the sports card nonsense guys out here. I know we do.
Starting point is 00:27:24 The 10 most expensive Tom Brady football cards ever sold, combined value. Okay. All right. How long do you guys need? The combination of all ten of them together is not the right. Yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I'm going to sound so stupid. I don't know anything about cards. Okay. Three, two, one. Ten million. $10. $2.5 million. I said 10.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You said 10, DK? Yeah. I said $2.5 million. I'll go $10 million. I'll go $10 million. Okay. I'll go $10 million. $1.
Starting point is 00:27:53 The answer is, do, do, do, do do do do do do do do. Can't be that much, can it? People aren't that crazy. People are crazy. $11,300,000. Wow. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:28:07 11 million? I guess that does make sense. I would really like to know which one is the most expensive. I went up a lot because like the cards boomed just as Brady became like this unassailable goat guy and I just feel like, I don't know. That's just, okay. Unassailable goat guy. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Big goat guy. So I get Rondale Moore. We already had for him. fine. That's a big one because I think he's really going to fall out. There's no other guys that was like, oh yeah, thank God I got this guy left. All right. So, DK, you were closest, so you get second pick, which I don't know how valuable that is. I think there's a lot of decent guys out there still. I'm going to go with Tim Patrick. I know that we talked about him last week, but he's still only rostered in 22% of leagues. He had almost identical lines in week one and week two,
Starting point is 00:28:48 13 points in week two, or sorry, in week one, 12 points in week two. Just he's one of the top guys in their passing offense. Obviously, Cortland Sutton balled out this week, but he's still going to be around. I think he's playing in all the two receiver sets that they do, so he's definitely a starter for them. He's been good. Like, he's just a good player. I think that you can definitely bank on that going forward. And Teddy Bridgewater has been really solid, too. So I think he's just one of those guys who, you know, he's going to be a red zone target.
Starting point is 00:29:17 He's going to get touchdowns here and there. He's going to get his targets. He's going to be relatively consistent. I don't think his ceiling is super high, but his floor is okay. Craig, you're shaking your head at Tim Patrick. No, no, I love Tim Patrick. Do not confuse that. Love Timmy P.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Discount wrong with. You got to make his name more interesting. Timmy P. But who else we got, Craig? Because there's actually a few guys on here. I think they're worth grabbing. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:43 All right here. So I have two guys I'm deciding between them. I honestly both kind of like. So for this week, if I'm picking a guy to start in week three, I'm going to take Christian Kirk. he's 25% owned in ESPN. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:59 I'm surprised he's not more... My really was like he's that low? I didn't think that was possible. They're playing the Jags this week. He had 65 years. I mean, he's kind of like Ron Del Moore. He's playing more snaps than Ron Del Marr. He's maybe not as explosive,
Starting point is 00:30:12 but he had five targets in week one, four in week two, 70 yards in week one, 65 in week two. Like, he's right there. I want a piece of the Kyler offense. Feels like any one of his scrambles could end up with any one of these guys.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And I think Kirk is worth it. The other guy that I'm close to mentioning was Elijah Moore. Yeah. Who ran the most routes for the Jets against New England this weekend. And, you know, they've had a tough draw. Their first two weeks, they played Carolina, who's now looking like a much sounder defense than we thought. And then they played New England.
Starting point is 00:30:41 But before their next five games, they play Tennessee, they play Atlanta, they play Cincey, Indianapolis. They have Denver this week. That's why I didn't like him for week three. But after that, it eases up a bit, and, you know, maybe Zach Wilson will kind of progress a little bit. I do like Elijah more a little bit more long term
Starting point is 00:30:55 but this week I'll stick with Christian Kirk Yeah I think those makes sense Like all that Like all that The only other one I throw out Is Donna from People's Jones Who we'll see if O'Dell
Starting point is 00:31:03 And Jarvis sleeve and play But that is one intriguing one The other one I just want Throw out is someone I don't know If I like But if you sort by like points From last week We'll be first
Starting point is 00:31:11 Which is KJ Osborne for the Vikings Who's had two really good weeks And if you just do I think most people Just sort by Who had the most points last week And you look at those dudes My like the Vikings
Starting point is 00:31:21 I've been looking for a third receiver for like legit like six years and I haven't had one and this is probably the best two games straight they've stretched they've had from a third receiver in six years. However, KG Osborne basically took the first play of the game for a 60 yard touchdown. And I feel like that's like the Vikings just saw something on film and like we're like,
Starting point is 00:31:40 I wonder if we could do that on the first play and it worked. And like that's not like a role. That's just like a play. You know what I mean? So like I don't necessarily think that that's going to happen again. And I would actually stay away from KJ. Osborne. Maybe he'll make me look really stupid, but I would not chase that opportunity, unless you guys disagree.
Starting point is 00:31:58 I'm curious. Well, I kind of like him. So here's the deal. I mean, I agree with you on one hand that I'm not, I don't necessarily believe this guy's going to turn into like a fantasy star. I mean, he scored 14.6 PPR week one and then 20.1 last week. So, I mean, that's extremely solid start for this guy that literally no one had on the radar coming into the season. that being said, like, the usage and the style of play, the style of football that the Vikings are playing right now actually could be conducive to this being a thing. Like, this might be a thing.
Starting point is 00:32:31 He's running a ton of routes. He's on the field a lot. He's got 15 targets in two games. Like, that's not just, oh, yeah, we saw something on tape and we're going to throw this one play to him. He has 15 targets in two weeks. And the big deal is, and this is the key thing, really, is the Vikings are playing in 11 personnel. primarily this year after being a heavy two tight-end set team last year, meaning most of the time they had two receivers on the field.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And that really obviously restricts the value of the third receiver in this offense last year was Thielen and Jefferson. This year, they're running primarily 11 personnel, which means all three of those guys are getting opportunities, and they've been playing from behind so much. They've just having, and you guys remember, I talked about this in the pre, in the off season sometime. Like, Kirk Cousins is really his numbers when they're trailing
Starting point is 00:33:18 and having to come from behind are really strong throughout his career. And I mean, that's really borne out this year. With the Vikings in the shootout type games, trailing, trying to come back or whatever, back and forth games, Kirk Cousins is having to throw the ball quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:33:34 And, you know, it's obviously slightly dented Justin Jefferson and Alam Theelan's upside because it's not just a two-man show anymore. But with the situation that the Vikings have at tight end, which is they don't have any good tight ends, KG Osborne, has been the beneficiary. He's essentially turned into like the tight end in this offense or whatever because he's running
Starting point is 00:33:53 out of the slot, I think mostly. And, you know, he's a fifth round pick for them last year. It wasn't like he came out of necessarily nowhere. So I don't know. I'm just kind of intrigued by this. I'm kind of with you though. It's like I'm not like banking on him being the star or anything. But I do think he's worth an ad in case this just kind of continues and the Vikings continue
Starting point is 00:34:11 having to play this way. Kurt Cousins has 600 yards, five touchdowns and no picks this year. Yeah. Cousins is the most. underrated freaking quarterback, I swear. Him and Derek Carr. He scored 22 and 25, weeks 1 and 2. There you go.
Starting point is 00:34:26 We can just do a brief and lead for quarterback streaming. It's basically those two dudes, right? It's Derek Carr and Kirk Cousins. Daniel Jones, baby. Daniel Jones, yeah. Go ahead. Would you rather have Jones or Derek Carr? Mr. Derrick Carr leading the NFL and passing yardage?
Starting point is 00:34:40 That's tough because Daniel Jones is sneaky rushing upside. He's like maybe one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL. I'm not saying that to be like a hot take. Like he's actually really good at running. And Hyvitz, you went to the game on Thursday. He had, didn't you have like a touchdown that got called back plus another big long run? I think was it, I don't remember Seth Kalina or Nate Tice. Someone pointed out that Daniel Jones was not athletic enough for teams to game plan against,
Starting point is 00:35:05 but just athletic enough to run the zone read. So he's in the exact point where he falls in the cracks of game planning so that it's like, how does Daniel Jones consistently have like 70 yards or like every now and then have like 50 or 60 yards rushing and a touchdown? zone read. It's like, that's why. He's like the guy that has like two knee braces and goggles who shows up with the Y and you can pick up basketball and then just fucking Tomahawk
Starting point is 00:35:28 dunks it on you and you're like, what the fuck is this guy? Why does you have this perfect sky hook in the post game? Like, who saw that guy? Yeah. That's really funny. Wow. By the way, one other guy I want to add before we move on from receivers and I this is, I'm more into like I don't believe
Starting point is 00:35:43 this thing because I actually am sort of still high on Elijah Moore, but Braxton Barrio is quietly has a 30% target rate. Oh, I do not give me target rate. He had 11 targets, high fits. Are we supposed to just completely ignore that? 11 targets last week. So Zach Wilson had 33 throws?
Starting point is 00:36:02 Apparently. Do you want to just ignore that? He has 18 targets in two games. Wow, does he really? Holy shit. It would be like malpractice for us to just not bring him up. I'm not going to lie. I checked out on the, I checked out on the Jets box score when it was like four
Starting point is 00:36:17 picks and five completions. That's when I checked out. The Patriots had a 40% target rate on the Jets. That's when I just kind of backed out of the Jets box score. It's pretty gross to think about picking up a player in the Jets passing offense after
Starting point is 00:36:33 Zach Wilson throws four interceptions. I think he had two picks before he had any completions. But I mean, you can't ignore it. Honestly, 11 targets, 7 catches, 73 yards is fast. Okay, so Craig had Elijah Moore before. Like we get people of Corey Davis.
Starting point is 00:36:47 we can't really convince people to have three people in the Jets passing game of the team. So would you take Braxton Barrios or Elijah Moore? I'm taking Elijah Moore over Barrios, but I'm just saying we have to mention it. All right. For the 16 team people. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Yeah, there you go. The 16 team guys. So I got Ron Dale Moore. All right, we just mentioned a bunch of receivers. I took Tim Patrick. Okay. And I took Christian Kurt. All those guys are in the same pool of like,
Starting point is 00:37:12 oh, it's kind of like, you're just kind of hoping. All right. Let's get to tight end. All right. Now it gets rough. Now it's like, oh my God, this is, this is gross. If you have like a name for what this tight end segment should be, just email of Ringer Fantasy Football at gmail.com.
Starting point is 00:37:25 I just, it is just the worst feeling. If you have a, what's like a very negative connotation term for streaming? Yeah, yeah, we need that. Think of that. Okay. I, I have Evan Ingram as my top tight end for this week. Dang it. I was thinking I was going to be all sneaky and have this one too, because, yeah. What about you, Craig?
Starting point is 00:37:46 I have Hunter Henry. Okay, so I think Deakin had probably the same thought process, which is let's just not do the whole which of these random dudes will play well. And like, let's just pick a guy who has talent and is her and coming back with 10 days rest. That was it. Yeah, and he had like, didn't you have 100 targets last year? I mean, this is a guy that could be a focal point in his team's offense in theory. You know, there's definitely question marks whether he's good or as good as like people wanted him to be early in his career. He was a first round pick.
Starting point is 00:38:15 He ran a 4-4. people want him to be the superstar guy kept getting hurt every time he started to pick up momentum kept getting hurt last year it was the drops that really hurt him but I mean he had a lot of hype in the preseason
Starting point is 00:38:27 the beat reporters were very excited about like what he was doing and you know as we've seen in the Giants offense so far other than Sterling Shepherd it's a lot of question marks like Goladay hasn't been really on the same page but Daniel Jones and Gallaudet yeah by the way I just saw this tweet today that said
Starting point is 00:38:43 Goladay said he was actually yelling at Jason Garrett, not Daniel Jones. It actually makes a lot of sense. Thank God for the clarification, Kenny. You think that's really? I can definitely forget that to say that. I'm just, oh, my God. If that's true, I like Galdade more now.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I was going to say, I love, I'm going to get a Galdade jersey right now. Okay. So I'm basically with you, D.K., it's just like I don't want to play this tight end roulette wheel and I look at Engram as like my ticket off this boat each week. Craig, why Hunter Henry? I had Evan Ingram second. I'm just a little, I'm still worried about a guy. I, coming back from a calf injury and a Giants offense.
Starting point is 00:39:15 with like a million guys. I chose Hunter Henry. Again, this is like a desert of options, but he's had seven targets through two weeks, and I'm like, okay, that's three, one week, four, the other. Like, I guess I'll take that. In the desert, none of the water's, like, clean. But he plays a ton of snaps.
Starting point is 00:39:33 He played 80% of snaps in week two. John Ruh Smith only played 49% and they both played 70% in week one. So he's on the field for three-fourths at the time, which makes me feel good, and he ran almost double the passing routes that Jono Smith ran. I think that there's still a chance
Starting point is 00:39:48 that one of these guys by the end of the year is like a top 12, 15 option. And perhaps it's getting started. They're moving slowly. They spent a lot of money on both these guys. They're both very talented.
Starting point is 00:39:59 From talent perspective, Jonu and Hunter Henry are by far the best two guys on the waiver wire. I guess Johnny's not there, but Hunter Henry definitely is. So I guess I'm just hoping that this is the week
Starting point is 00:40:09 that his targets kind of jump from the 3-4 range to like the 6-7 range. Okay. So Craig, you get Hunter Henry, give us a showdown time for Evan Ingram. I can't believe I'm fighting over Evan.
Starting point is 00:40:20 This is like the worst moment in my week. I'm actually kind of excited about Evan Ingraham. I also, I got to tell you guys right now, I actually don't have a third tight end listed after Hunter Henry and Evan Ingram. I have no plan. I will have to live search for a tight end if I lose this.
Starting point is 00:40:34 I have a couple backup options. I can help. All right, it's time for the Evan Ingram showdown. Okay. This question comes from Nelson. Nelson Nelson Nelson
Starting point is 00:40:45 How many species of Pokemon are there Oh come on This is something I should be able to kick Dekey's ass But I never did Pokemon I was never a Pokemon Yeah I definitely never did Pokemon
Starting point is 00:40:56 There was a very short-lived It feels like craze of Pokemon Go amongst my friends Did you guys do that? I didn't go outside Was that like an exercising thing Where you go like search for Pokemon I don't actually know how it works
Starting point is 00:41:10 And a bunch of people died Because they were like getting in car crashes and stuff Yeah, it was like the geo thing. It was like you just chased the Panthers augmented reality Panther around until you find hunts you. So there's multiple species of Pokemon. That's something that we've established.
Starting point is 00:41:28 All right. So do you want to stay at the same time? So wait, hold on. I don't know if this makes a difference, but the article that was linked as the source for this answer, so this is based on the national polka decks. That works for me as an authority. authority on this topic. I will roll with that for right now. All right. So, three, two, one,
Starting point is 00:41:50 $150. $500. $1. $500.000. $500.000 went $500. $800.000. Wow. That's a lot. I thought $500 might be embarrassingly high. Uh, so there you go. Wow. All right. Good to know. How many can you name? I wonder what a Pokemon Evan Anger would be. I mean, is Pikachu a species or the name of a Pokemon. I believe both. Well, that's the only one I can name. That's the only one? Yeah, I don't know. What are the other one? I'm not even a Pokemon guy. What about Squirrel?
Starting point is 00:42:22 I'm so bad at Smash that like my friends would always give me Pikachu or Kirby because those are the guys who have like one big move you can just do without really knowing how to like move the guy around. Are you bad at smash? I'm terrible at smash. Like I have to put Kirby because you can just take other people's powers and you're like you're annoying if you only know like one move and then Pikachu would just do the lightning. And like you can just kind of annoy people enough. Like I'll never. win, but the other guys are too complicated to play. I'm bad at Smash. Can I say this?
Starting point is 00:42:46 I don't really play a ton of video games. However, I have played more Super Smash Bros. than I think anybody on the planet. That's such a, there's no way. That's like the most popular dorm room game. That's such a bold. I am so good at Smash. Who's your favorite in a while?
Starting point is 00:43:00 I don't play in a lot. With Smash, first of all. The best one's melee, GameCube. Unequivocally, it's GameCube melee, obviously. And then the Wii brawl is fine. The original, I had a 64 in my dorm, so we played the original Smash Bros. That was pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:43:12 And then there's like the new, new one on the Wii. On your home turf, the GameCube, who's your character? You say you don't game a lot? You definitely sound like a gamer. I just played me and my buddy rolled off all the different gaming platforms. You're like, I've played more of this video game than anyone else. Then by definition, you're a gamer. I don't know if that's a different one to put it.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's the only thing I've played. I haven't played in a while. But my best characters are Samus or Fox. Fox. There we go. My friends always like did Link and Fox. All right. So I'm going to give you a couple more tight ends that I think are potentially,
Starting point is 00:43:46 worth adding here. I mean, Jerry Cook is borderline addable. At this point, he might be on rosters, 43% of rosters right now on Yahoo. But first week, he had eight targets, five catches, 56 yards. Last week, three catches, 28 yards. He only had 5.28 points.
Starting point is 00:44:02 But he did have a touchdown called back. Yeah, he was going to have a touchdown. On a really terrible, like, procedural call. It was a really dumb. It was a really illegal formation or something ridiculous. And so he's still being utilized, like, in a solid way. I think he's one of the guys that is in that, we talked about it last night.
Starting point is 00:44:20 It's like in that group of 12 different tight ends that like could have a touchdown every week and you just hope to like roll the dice and get this guy. Yeah, he's solid. Yeah, he is solid. Can people please emails at ringer fantasy football at Gmail.com? Like what kind, like can you compare different tight ends to Pokemon? Because I feel like that's a really more smash characters. I think that's a really rich genre. I wanted to, when I was just getting started the ringer, I had the idea of writing an article that compared fantasy football players to Super Smash.
Starting point is 00:44:46 characters. Set of smash characters. I feel more... Sammy Watkins was the ice climbers, and I compared his hamstring to the partner where you need both, but if you lose one, he's completely useless,
Starting point is 00:44:59 and you always do. That's incredible. Anyway, that's a niche joke for those out there. Yeah, my eyes are glossing over. Can I toss that one other, like deeper tight end? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I swear I'm not being a homework. I think Pat Friermuth is kind of good. Yeah, he looks spry. Yeah, he has four catches last week. Eric Ebron had zero targets and he's getting out snapped by Friar Muth. Like a Friar Muth, like, I think just like is the receiving tight end for Pittsburgh
Starting point is 00:45:25 and like by the end of the year could be like doing Heath Miller things like five catches, 60 yards or something like that, especially with the health of Deontay Johnson going in and out every week. Like I kind of like Friar Muth as like a, that's another, you 16 teamers out there, go grab him. Do you remember him catching multiple touchdown passes?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Like difficult, high degree of difficulty passes in the end zone during preseason from Ben Rathesberger. I believe. So yeah, he, I mean, he's a good player. Second rounder. There's some people that were thinking he was going to be a first rounder. He's like a legit talent.
Starting point is 00:45:55 So I like this one a lot. The other guy I want to throw out real quick. And I don't really believe this strongly, but it just, I want a piece of this offense is Dawson Knox from Buffalo. He's now got in two games, he has seven targets, six catches. So sad. This is what we're dealing with. This is what we're dealing with.
Starting point is 00:46:11 He's seven games. I mean, eight, so eight PPR and then 9.7 PPR. That's not a zero. So I'm just saying This is the state of the title position All right so I took Hunter Henry High Fitz won the showdown And got Evan Ingram DKKKee
Starting point is 00:46:27 Who did you end up taking? I'll go with Jared Cook Okay The ice climbers is Watkins is funny Email us that's funny Okay Quarterback we discussed this I don't think we do Derek Card leads to the NFL in passing yards
Starting point is 00:46:38 Like he can be a streamer And maybe not for this week you can add him And then Kirk Cousins right And then obviously out of fields I think those are if you're looking at quarterback for this week or in the future weeks, Fields, Derek Parker, cousin's defense.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Yeah. I think the obvious defense this week is the Panthers, man. The Texans, like... They look good. Like, I know that, like, it's now two weeks where the Texans look competent, but part of that's because Tyra Taylor, like, was really,
Starting point is 00:47:00 has always taken care of the football. I doubt he plays. Davis Mills, bless his heart, is not ready for what's coming to him. Carolina's defense is good. I mean, also, I think they're the only fantasy defense, Carolina, that has double-digit points in back-to-back weeks. Their defensive lines better, the secondaire is better.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Like Panthers are an easy number one for me this week. Also, I think, you know, Buffalo, if you can get Buffalo, they're playing in Washington with Heineke. They had a good week, obviously, against Miami. And ones that are more widely available, the Raiders against Miami, if Jacoby Brissette is playing instead of Tua, the Raiders defense is like, odd, like they can finally rush the passer. So, like, that's one that's out there.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Max Crosby, speaking of Dosecis. Wait, he might not have two X. See you, two X guy? What I really want to triple X guy like the Vin Diesel movie Max Crosby
Starting point is 00:47:51 does have two X's Double X Double X, Dose X, baby We get two Dosa Kises Quad a Kis We have Dose, dose Dose XXs Quachis
Starting point is 00:47:59 That's incredible Why do you say Dosa Kise? Yeah, dos Akees. Oh wow I don't know if that's because I'm from New York I'm not speaking Spanish well
Starting point is 00:48:08 What are you wondering about You're saying dose Ekes Is it's just Dose Ekes No, Haifid says Dose Echis We say dos eques. Oh, yeah, I'm not going to grade him on his Spanish pronunciation because I'm sure I would butcher it, but that's...
Starting point is 00:48:24 All right, we'll figure out which one of these guys is more interesting. Which one of the maxes with the two X's is like the more interesting max in the NFL. Anyway, point is, I would stream the Panthers defense against the Texans on Thursday football. If you can't get them, the Raiders against Miami, and deep, deep, deep cut. This is kind of like a galaxy brain wreck, but if you've got nothing else going on, the Titans, whose defense has been on. awful, but if the cults don't have wents, and if Jacob Isson
Starting point is 00:48:50 is the starting quarterback for the cults against the Titans, I don't care about the Titans defenses. That's a good one. So there's your break glass in case of emergency. So let's say that you just need a flex, doesn't matter to the position. Out of all the guys we've named today, who are you spending the most
Starting point is 00:49:06 amount of money on? Like, who is the shoe-in bid a decent amount of money player? Is it Correlle? No, for me, it's Ron Dale Ron Dale Moore. Yeah, yeah. He's the number one priority for me. Patterson, I mean, the fuckers are playing the Giants this week.
Starting point is 00:49:22 If you really had to play him this week, you probably could. I don't think you have to, though. We're not even in bi-weeks yet. I don't think anyone's really at the point where you have to play these dudes yet. I think we're still a week out from, like, I need to plug and play this person immediately. But, yeah, I think Rondale is just so electric on the field. I think he's the only guy in this list that you're like, holy crap, that guy is incredible. Like, if you don't know who he is and you're watching, like, you're asking, who is that dude?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yeah. All right. You're still buying low because he's still only playing like 40, 50% of his snaps. And if they expand his role, and I say if, but I bet you it's when they expand his role. He could just go off. So it's going to be fun. All right. That's all we got.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Thank you, D.K. Thank you, Craig. Thank you to Nelson and Nick for the trivia questions. And, of course, thank you, Lorne. Lauren? Thank you, the Beatles. You've definitely done that. No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:50:18 They're too generic. Maybe I have. Is it okay that I'm like, disappoint? Like, that's kind of a disappointing. I did that one because I thought it would be funny because it's like the most generic band
Starting point is 00:50:28 you can literally think of. Yeah, it's funny. Everyone's laughing. Okay. Hold on. I found Tyson's emails. You have not done the Beatles according to Tyson's email.
Starting point is 00:50:38 I told you. Wow, you've not done the Beatles. Okay. Okay. Okay. What's your favorite Beatles song? I don't know. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I don't have any. Hey, Jude, I guess. By the way, did you get, have you ever seen? There's this hilarious, like, tweet online of the guy who, and he realizes that Beatles is a pun. Like, it's B-E-A-T-L-E-S, and he just, like, drops his coffee cup and his life flashes before his eyes. It's like the guy unusual suspects when he figures out Kevin Spacey, he drops the... I actually did not. I am learning this right now in real time.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I had no idea. That was a pun. Stop. I had no. idea. What? I literally learned to write. Are you serious? I... B.E.A. It's the worst. It doesn't it make you completely
Starting point is 00:51:21 rethink your opinion? I didn't think about why until like right now. You know what's funny is it's actually kind of, it's kind of lame. It's extremely lame. Well, it's lame now. What did it come up with the name? Like 60 years ago? When they were in sixth grade? I feel like puns, like punny
Starting point is 00:51:37 names weren't really a thing back then or as much as they are now. Like now everyone's just trying to make memes 24-7. Them going the Beatles, I guess it's perhaps progressive, but it's just kind of lame. You're like, oh, cool, I get it. Yes. I actually never thought about it's like a dad joke. Why they were spelled that way. I kind of can't believe that. I'll retweet it today, Hafe, so you can watch this. I'm sorry because I can't remember the name of the guy who doesn't. Yeah, I am definitely the guy. It's freaking hilarious. I'm the usual suspects guy dropping like the Koviyosha coffee mug.
Starting point is 00:52:02 That's literally good. All right. Goodbye. I'm in my head spinning.
