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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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,
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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...
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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,
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,
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
You guys ready?
Yeah, sure.
All right.
Yeah.
Three, two, one, $100.
$4.20.
You said $4.75.
I said $100.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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,
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?
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.
That's incredible.
Hell yeah.
Great start.
Hot start.
Okay.
You get Corridor Patterson.
Cordarral.
Cordarral Patterson.
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
$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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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...
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
That's literally good. All right. Goodbye. I'm in my head spinning.
