Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hyfitts. I am joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Korolbeck. We're going to go through waivers today. All the players you should add for your team before week six.
Starting point is 00:00:40 It's the beginning of bi-weeks. So there's a lot of guys, a lot of fill-engineed. But first, we have news. John Gruden resigned as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders last night. Special teams coordinator, Rich Busakia, is now the interim head coach. Gruden resigned after a series of emails were leaked, where he used racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language. Gruden is gone.
Starting point is 00:01:00 You know, he had to go. I mean, look, you can't lead a locker room. You can't lead a building. You can't lead an organization. Never mind be the emblem for a city. Be in charge of a global brand when you behave this way. And look, when you sign a deal for 10 years and $100 million, it's not just a pitch like, hey, I'm good at football and X's and O's. You're also saying, I'm a leader.
Starting point is 00:01:20 I'm in charge. And I'm so good at leading and setting an example that if everyone follows my lead and follows my example, we're going to get to the highest level of the business we're in. And so you have to be held to a higher level of accountability in theory, at least. I know it doesn't always happen that way. But you can't lead when you're behaving this way. and you shouldn't get to run a multi-billion-dollar company when this is how you behave. Yeah, I mean, look, ultimately,
Starting point is 00:01:44 he's being held to account for his actions. Those actions are having consequences here. And I mean, I think at the end of day, like everything he said is just so ridiculously offensive to basically everybody. Like, he was just going after everybody here. And, I mean, he just cannot, like he said, represent the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:02:03 He cannot represent the NFL. When he's saying those things, it goes against everything that the NFL is, trying to, you know, be at the forefront with here with, you know, with enacting social change. I think they have end racism on the back of their helmets currently. And so he just cannot, he can't be the, he can't be the leader. He can't be a representative of that. And I think, you know, this is, I think this is what had to happen. And it was, it is good that it did happen. Yeah, like you guys said, you know, this is kind of the nature of progress. It needed to happen.
Starting point is 00:02:33 This is a necessary move. And hopefully stuff like this continues. Yeah, so there is zero good segways from that to like talking about fantasy football, but here we go. You don't need to go super in depth, but I mean, look, he designed the offense and he calls the plays, so the Raiders offense will probably be a lot worse, right, D.K.? Yeah, and it's one of those things where you feel for the players on the team, obviously, because this is like the John Gruden offense, and, you know, Derek Carr, he's going to have it to go to a different offensive play caller, maybe a whole different system. I don't know. I'm assuming that they'll just continue to run what they're running. But yeah, I can't really expect the Raiders offense to just keep humming along like it was. And this was kind of like what was keeping the team, you know, going.
Starting point is 00:03:15 And so I would expect, like, again, this is like weird, but like from the fantasy point of view, like I just don't expect the Raiders' offense to be very good, like or be as good going forward. So that's something that we're going to have to account for with fantasy. I don't know if there's any actionable stuff right now. I think like Waller is still going to be a starter. you know, Josh Jacobs still going to be a starter, but just going forward
Starting point is 00:03:36 it is just one of those things you have to wait and see. Yeah, it's just a very strange situation, but I agree. I mean, the offense will probably just be worse
Starting point is 00:03:43 without the guy who's running the offense. Right, right. So that happened, kind of overshadowed the banana football game, which is weird to be watching Monday football,
Starting point is 00:03:51 and then there's like a much bigger football story happening while it's going on. I know. I felt for the announcers because it kind of came out and then they were just kind of like had the announcers
Starting point is 00:04:00 comment on it, even though they likely didn't have all of the information and you could kind of feel them like trying to like get through it and say what they can while not having all the information. And it lives over the broadcast because this happened while Gruden was working at ESPN and obviously he was the money to football commentator. So it was very strange to be watching that broadcast. Anyway, all right, let's get to waivers.
Starting point is 00:04:18 Very important note for week six. So this is the beginning of buy weeks. So the Falcons, the Saints, the Jets, the 49ers are all on buys. So check your team, see which of the players have buys. And if you have some guys on buys, some guys who are questionable for Sunday, you might, maybe need to pick up guys this week and maybe just like put them right in your starting lineup. So we'll keep that in mind.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Without further ado, let's get to we're doing showdown time for waivers. If you haven't been doing this with us so far, it's simple. We go position by position. We all give our top pick from that position to pick up this week. If we have the same player,
Starting point is 00:04:54 we will do a trivia. Craig. Showdown. Time. Time. Time. Time. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Well, you said we will do a showdown. Whatever. I don't know the whatever. The point is we cannot all have the same players. We'll do trivia. And then hopefully us ranking, our preferences, helps you decide how you would prefer each player at each position. So, again, if you have trivia questions, showdown time, put email us at ringer fantasy football at gmail.com. Put showdown time trivia in the subject line.
Starting point is 00:05:27 And then please put like a lot of body text. the answer way lower in the email than the actual question and make sure it's like a number or something where we can be wrong in a sequential order so that we can go low two three okay closest two so i already said without further ado but without further ado again dk who's your number one running back pickup before week six so there's a few interesting ones i ultimately went with darrell williams for the chiefs uh 15 percent roster in yahoo last i checked and so look there's injuries there's several injuries at running back position this week i think the most long long younger term one is Clyde Edwards-Dillier, who had a, it looked like, man, when he got
Starting point is 00:06:05 tackled, it looked really, really bad. Like, he got twisted all around. It sounds like it's just an MCL sprain, which is probably actually, like, a good news for the team overall, good news for CEH overall. However, it's looking like he's going to miss several weeks with that. And because of that, because of the length of his, like, absence, I'm going with Daryl Williams, who slots in as, like, the next replacement there in the Chiefs offense. Again, it's a good offense.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You know, this isn't necessarily like going to be a running back one type situation, but I think he could be like a flex option for you going forward. So Darrell Williams, he's shown that he can operate both the run game and the passing game. And again, like I said, it's a high scoring offense. It's a good offense. They don't use the running backs as much as other teams, but I still want a piece of that offense wherever it's coming from. And so, yeah, ultimately, Darrell Williams is my number one guy on this list. Yeah, Clyde's out a few weeks with that MCL sprain.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I have Williams is my number one, too. He just always looks good with the ball in his hands. He never plays the time. He's kind of like one of those underrated guys. Yeah, he's just solid. Craig, who's your number one? I didn't go with Daryl Williams. I went with Devante Booker.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Yeah. I think Sequin's probably still going to be out for at least two weeks. I mean, I don't think they're going to want to rush him back again after yet another injury. I just don't like running backs on the Chiefs. Clyde wasn't even that successful. Right. They actually feed Devante Booker a lot. The one thing he's kind of been good at is like shouldering a heavy workload.
Starting point is 00:07:27 and I don't know about Daryl Williams. I think they're going to use Jerek McKinnon probably more than we want them to. And I feel like I can trust weekly Devon Tabor more than Daryl Williams. Yeah, and I think this is fine. I think this makes a lot of sense. I don't really have a strong, you know, I'm not like opposing that necessarily. The only reason I ultimately leaned Williams versus because I think that, I actually think Stacorn might only miss one game.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I agree. So that's like the thing is like, okay, he could miss two. But I think with CEH, he's going to miss like at least three, maybe more. with this MCL spring. I don't think they'll rush him back because he hasn't been all that amazing anyway. So that's the only reason I leaned is like the length of time. However, I will say with Booker,
Starting point is 00:08:08 he's going to play like 85, 90% of snaps. He's going to get way more volume. And he has like mid to R. Mid to low end RB2 upside, maybe even better, honestly, this next week. And so it just kind of depends on what you need for your team. If you need a one week fill in, Booker is by far the 1A for me.
Starting point is 00:08:27 if you need to replace CEH or a guy, you know, like Barclay, who's going to be missing multiple seasons, I think Darrell Williams is a good option. So, yeah, I don't really have any problem with that as your number one, too. I think either of these guys are good options. Yeah, I agree. I lean toward Williams. I think Williams would be relevant longer than Booker. Although I agree, Booker will have a large show of the Giants this week. I think Sequin will be back.
Starting point is 00:08:49 And then when Sequan's back, Devante will be very hard to start, kind of difficult to roster. Okay, so we got to do some little Derell Williams Showdown time here, UK. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. It is the... Who are we doing this for again? Derell Williams. Derell Williams. Showdown time. Oh, it's early in the morning. I haven't really done that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:12 For Daryl Williams, what is Napoleon's win percentage in major battles? Oh, my God. His win percentage. This is a good question. Oh, my God. I'm pretty sure he's famous for losing the Battle of Waterloo. I could be wrong on that. I don't know a lot of actually about Napoleon.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Other than that, he was like, he's a legendary strategic guy. What is it? Statist. That's the official term. What's the word for someone who's good at strategy? Strategist. Strategist. That's what I was looking for.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Here you go, D.K. D.K. really showing off his knowledge. I'm losing it. Okay, so I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I know the answer in my head. I know the answer I'm going to give. Okay, so I'll just say first. I'm going to say 950. What?
Starting point is 00:10:03 No, it's a percentage. 95%. Like, I'm saying it like it's a batting average, yeah. Oh, he's batting 95. 95% in battles. He's batting 950 in battles. When you say baseball term in a term that no one would ever use for like 950s never said, my brain didn't go there. You know where my brain actually went?
Starting point is 00:10:20 This is so embarrassing. I was like, who's really good at something? I was like, Steph Curry's good of free throws. What does he shoot? Like 91%? Let's go with that. That's literally how my brain is. Yeah, so 91. He's the Napoleon of shooting free throws.
Starting point is 00:10:30 I was literally, that was what my brain went. I was like, whatever Steph Curry shoots from free throws, let's go with that. So 91 for high, it's 95 for PK? Yeah. You were both high. Okay. He wasn't that good, huh? He fought 60 battles and he lost only seven.
Starting point is 00:10:45 So he was 53 for 60, which is 88%. What a loser. 88? That's interesting. I thought it was going to be higher because he's like roundly like known as like the most brilliant war general of all time. I was joking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:01 He just lost a few key ones, I guess, yeah. Do you think there were like different versions of like war general strategists in terms of like style? Like are there like West Coast offense war generals back then and there's like, you know, establish the run guys? Yeah, there's the Kyle Shanahan's who are great technicians. There's Kyle Shannon's like great tacticians and they're like, hey, why did you pay Jerich McKin hit in like $12 million and then give like Tevin Coleman all that money. It's like, dude, we don't need all these horses, man. Stop paying snipers.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Like, these guns aren't accurate enough yet. Exactly. All the people that, uh, that invade Russia are the guys are like the coaches that want to establish the run. Is there like a Napoleon like coaching tree that has like stemmed off and won other battles? You know what I mean? Do you think there's like Sixers versions where there's some soul like the killies is like Ben Simmons?
Starting point is 00:11:46 He's like, I'm not going to come. They're like, dude, we built the whole army around you. What are you complaining about? And he shows up in the middle of the night. night. All right. He can't fight in the fourth quarter. He can't fight in the dark. Unbelievable. Okay. So I get to Real Williams. All right. After all that, man, I can't believe I lost the fucking Napoleon one. Dude, that was built for you. The war.
Starting point is 00:12:02 devastating for my brand. Okay. I mean, ironically, you didn't have great strategy there because 95 kind of backed you in a quarter. I know. I just went with what I thought of. I don't know. But that makes sense. D.K's an honest man. Okay. Anyway, I get to Real Williams. Since I lost. So you get Williams. Craig gets Booker. And then I'm just going to mention a few guys. I think that are also worth potentially picking up here. Alex Collins for the Seahawks, Chris Carson nursing a, he's nursing a neck injury that was, it's kind of weird. So apparently he's had this neck injury. It flared up last week, which I'm not sure what happened there.
Starting point is 00:12:35 The Seahawks are being pretty vague about it. It sounds like based on what Pete Carroll was saying earlier this week, that he's okay. Like, Carol said something like, oh, he turned a corner or he like, whatever. He's like on track to play. I still think it's worth picking up Collins just in case if Carson doesn't play, Collins is worth a start going forward. especially now with Gino under center. Seahawks are probably going to go back to their really conservative, run-heavy ways, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:12:59 So I think he's an option to pick up this week, Khalil Herbert for the Bears. Yes. We were all very excited about Damian Williams. Damian Williams came through. He scored a touchdown. He was pretty solid. But Khalil Herbert actually carried the ball more times than David Williams.
Starting point is 00:13:12 This is a rookie for the Bears with David Montgomery out. I'm guessing that they're going to continue to have sort of a timeshare between Cleo Herbert. David Williams. I thought Herbert looked pretty good. He had some juice. 18 carries for 75 yards. Yeah. And honestly, like, the bears are going to continue to be like this with
Starting point is 00:13:30 Justin Fleeves under center. They're going to be a run heavy. If you need to, like, plug and play someone at running back this week, I would go for Devante Booker. But if you're just looking to add a running back, but you don't necessarily need to play them this week, I would actually add Khalil Herbert over Devonte Booker. Really? Yes. Because I don't think
Starting point is 00:13:46 like, maybe we're coming down to Sakewan's ankle injury. It looked awful because Sequin's ankle, like, was swollen. That's just swelling. It goes down. A low ankle sprain is completely different than a high ankle sprain. I think he will be playing two weeks,
Starting point is 00:13:59 like the week after next, Sequan. So I don't think Booker has the value. Don't you think the Khalil Herbert thing is a little bit of a smokescreen? I mean, they were like winning the whole game. Fields was like banged up. Herbert was outtouched three to one
Starting point is 00:14:11 inside the 10 by Damien Williams. They're playing the Packers next week. They're probably not going to be in a positive game script. Yeah. I don't know. I think she feels very confident. And I feel it. And also I think Herbert got like the final two drives, I believe.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Like he kind of got all the steps. I think that that's the kind of guy that might get more work going forward. But they were winning that game. Now they're playing Green Bay. They're going to get their ass kick. They're not going to, I mean, that's totally fair. I just don't know of Devon. Like Montgomery being on IR and I believe not necessarily going to come back off immediately.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I would rather go with the guy who is multi-week opportunity, even if we don't know how it's going to shake out yet. Whereas Booker, once Sequin returns, I don't know what Booker's value is. You can't play Booker once Sakeone comes back. I'm not necessarily advocating that plugging Herbert into your lineup right away because I think it is like Craig said. It's sort of still a murky situation. But if Herbert ends up being sort of like the guy that they like more in this situation,
Starting point is 00:15:06 that could be valuable. So he's more of a flyer. And then finally, another flyer, Ramadre Stevenson for the Patriots. Damien Harris went out of the game last week with a ribs injury, it sounds like. He went back in. But ribs injuries are one of those things where a lot of,
Starting point is 00:15:19 of the times the guys just go in they're on adrenaline they go back in and then you find out later like this is more problematic injury it's like pain management thing sometimes guys can't come back so if damien harris is out montre stevenson will take his role um and also the fact i don't think it really matters honestly because i think they still trust it but harris did fumble at the one yard line uh going in for a touchdown it would have been a touchdown but he fumbled we've seen uh the running backs for the patriots going to the doghouse because of those those situations harris has now fumbled twice this year. So all the Patriots running back to fumble,
Starting point is 00:15:52 I don't know how they're going to figure this all out. But I think he's worth a flyer at least. And then, yeah. So I think those are a couple other guys. If you're really desperate and you're in a PPR league, Brandon Bolden for the Patriots has the James White role currently. It's not very valuable at this point because they're just doing such a rotation. But if you're desperate, that's another guy.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Okay. So I just want to link it here because I think this is a big week for people. If you need to play someone this week, the top two, or it's like Dorel Williams, Devante Booker are top two. And then I think Alex Collins is probably three. If you need to play someone this week. If Carlson's down. Yeah, if Carson's down.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And then if you don't actually need someone for this week, but you just want someone on your bench who might go up in value. I think it's Dorel Williams, Khalil Herbert. And then I'd probably take Ramon J. Stevenson over Devonty Booker, if you're hope right. and then maybe Alex Collins and then Booker actually last unless you're thinking sick one gets hurt again.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah. Let's get to receiver. DK, who's your number one receiver that you would add ahead of week six? I feel like this is going to be an easy one. Cadarious, Tony, for the Giants. Just looked really, really good.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Tons and tons of targets. 14 targets, I think I saw. 189 yards. Yeah, I mean, he looked really, really solid, very dynamic. He was running more routes than I expected. But like I said on a previous spot, like I thought he'd come in and be like a gadget guy,
Starting point is 00:17:22 which isn't very valuable in fantasy right away. I thought like they would work him in eventually to the offense. But he was running routes all over the place. He was running routes on the outside. He went up and caught like a ball down the sideline. That was really impressive. Doing everything in this offense. And Goladay is hurt now again, which is a big problem.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Shepard's already out. Darius Slate's out. I don't know if they're going to come back this week. It doesn't look great for either of those guys. So Tony has a potential here to be like the actual number one in this offense. end, he looks really, really good. So he is by far on this whole list. You know, everybody that we talk about today, I think, like, Tony is the number one priority
Starting point is 00:17:57 for me. Go get him. Three things I want to say about Tony. One, he is unquestionably the only way the Giants can actually pick up yards now that, like, say, one of the people are hurt. That's tough. Two, he did punch a guy, like, at the end of the game and then he's x-rays on his hand. Like, it's probably fine, but just have a hand injury.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Three, the Giants play the Rams this week, so you need to pick him up understanding he really might suck this week. and the Giants have a tough schedule, but that he's still clearly going to have a roll the rest of the season. I have Kadar's Tony number one. Craig, I assume you do too.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yep. Love him. The thing I want to mention with Tony just as a small warning, I still think you absolutely have to make him your number one way of a priority, but he did have an ankle injury
Starting point is 00:18:34 that Joe Judge was pretty vague about. He said it doesn't sound like it's going to be a season ender. So that's what we know. Judge is on the Bill Belichick level of injury, like transparency, like to Sean McVeigh Belichick, like they don't tell you anything.
Starting point is 00:18:48 well that's great yeah so he he might not play this week however i still think he's worth being picked up just based on you know the way he's looked and what he could eventually do down the line so um yeah he'd definitely be my number one yeah for rookie wide receiver has almost 200 yards in a game like it's no joke yeah exactly uh all right so let's get to the Craig if you will so then we got a three-way cadarius tony showdown time All right, I'm pulling a special question out of the bag for this one. Oh. It's from George.
Starting point is 00:19:23 It's one of the better questions we've ever gotten. The most popular Mariah Carey's song is all I want for Christmas is you, which has almost a billion listens on Spotify. Wow. How many listens does Mariah Carey's song, Fantasy, have on Spotify right now? What a question. All I want for Christmas is a billion? A billion. All I want for Christmas is just under a billion.
Starting point is 00:19:49 So how many does fantasy have? Do you get something special if you get to a billion listens on Spotify? They probably send a black. They're like a special club. Why don't we get to a billion listens on a podcast episode and then we'll just send it to us? A billion. Can you imagine? To do that, we'd probably have to get Mariah Carey's fantasy as our interest.
Starting point is 00:20:08 You might need all I want for Christmas is you. So the first number that came into my mind was $500 million. Yeah, I have $300. And 40 million. That's probably where I'm going to go way lower. I'm going to go. I mean, I could game theory it and just pick like 300 and like walk away with this clean. But what were you thinking in the moment?
Starting point is 00:20:27 The actual number I would guess is like 80 million. Okay. But I'm going to, I'll give you, I'm not going to do the price of the right thing. It bothers me. I'm going to tell you what I really think. I think it's like 80 million. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Thank you for it. So we just, just pull it up. Thank you for not. Do you have your phone? Give your phone. Can you check this right now? Fantasy has 159 million. Wow.
Starting point is 00:20:52 So Hyva's just a little closer than me. I was way off. Turns out I'm not very good at these. Well, I think that you know what happened. Perfect example of anchoring, which is you were like, oh, a billion. Let's go with like half that. The tree is 700 feet tall, yes.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Exactly. But like, all I want for Christmas is you is like listen to millions of people every single year for like a month and a half on repeat. Why is that one song so much more? popular than the other ones. Could not recommend higher. 60 songs that explain the 90s with Rob Pervilla. It is, I probably should admit this.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Maybe my, like, I actually think it's the best podcast the ringer does. Is 60 songs just play the 90s? Here's the answer to the DK. It absolutely bangs. Dude, listen to the all I want for Christmas is You episode of 60 songs to display the 90s by Robber Villa about Mariah Care. It's unbelievable. Yeah, also every time Mariah Carey gets a stream for fantasy, I believe Tom Tom Club, the song Genius of Love,
Starting point is 00:21:47 they get a cut of that because it's a sample from that song, which is also a good song. Wow. Nice. Incredible. Okay. I get Cadarius Tony because you guys had a little too much faith in that song, but I like that you believed. Who's closer? Craig, you get the second pick at receiver. Yeah, this
Starting point is 00:22:03 is boring because I feel like he's constantly referenced, but he's still not above 40%. Tim Patrick. Yeah, I get that. Like, Tim Patrick is just extremely consistent, week in, week out. He had seven catches for 89 yards last week. 24% target share.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Like, he is just the one, like, the 1A or 1B receiver each week in Denver. And, like, they're playing the Raiders next week. I just think Tim Patrick is solid. Tim Patrick was named Cadarist Tony, and Kadir's Tony was named Tim Patrick. It would be a much closer competition on the waivers this week. All right. All right. So you get Tim Patch. I think that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:22:39 D-K. I already know where you're going. I already feel deep in my bones so you're picking right now. Well, I think what you're alluding to is Rondale Moore. Yes. Okay, so he was on the cuff. He's another one that's like, are we counting this? Like, or not, I mean, he does pass. That was my, that was my question.
Starting point is 00:22:53 So usually we use 40% as a cutoff. He's right at 40% last time I looked. So, and also, obviously, I'm having some reticence to bring up Rondow more because I hyped him up really hard a couple of weeks ago and then his usage fell back down. I was thinking it was going to keep going up. However, all that being said, I do think it might actually start going up again. For the first time, all season, he actually did run more routes. than Christian Kirk. It feels like they're working him into the offense.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Also, with Max Dosekis Williams, horrific knee injury, he's out for the year, the Cardinals really could end of, so they were really liking what he was bringing, both in the run game and the past game. They were playing a lot of 11 personnel, which is one tight end and three receivers. Going forward, if they want to get their best combination of personnel on the field, they may end up just going four receiver sets. This is something that we all thought Cliff King is very. he was going to do when he came into the NFL hasn't really materialized. I mean, they still lead the NFL in four receiver sets, I think.
Starting point is 00:23:51 But it's like, it hasn't been over 50%. It's been like in the 20s or 30s or something like that. Going forward, there is this chance that Rondo Moore is going to get more snaps. If he gets a bigger piece of that pie, it's a good offense. It's a high-scoring offense. And he's honestly looked incredible. Like everything he does, every time he touches the ball, he looks like he shot out of a cannon. He made an incredible sideline catch.
Starting point is 00:24:13 So at the risk of further tarnishing my reputation when it comes to getting over-excited about rookies, Rondell Moore is worth a flyer at the very least. I actually didn't have him on my list. He wasn't my next player just because I wasn't sure if he would really count. Another couple of players I think are worth looking at. Wait, hold, before you do that, can I give a Craig impression
Starting point is 00:24:33 about Rondale Moore? I want to do my Craig impression. Rondell Moore is the person that you've been hooking up with, but you need to go exclusive. You were like you added them They had a big couple weeks And then they like their routes went down The points went down
Starting point is 00:24:46 You cut them on off Are they on the team? Are they off the team? Now it's like you need to go Like you defy the relationship Don't let them go Don't let them be with another team Don't you want to see them at Instagram
Starting point is 00:24:57 Like Instagram official with another dude Like you're gonna get really upset It is add Rondale Moore Hold on to them You will not regret it Yeah they're like Shiv In succession We're all Tom
Starting point is 00:25:07 It's like Shiv can you not Can you not Screw around on me Just commit. I'm nice. Just commit. It's nice here in the apartment. Just stay in one night, just with me. TK., do you get that?
Starting point is 00:25:18 Do either of you get that? Do you have a minute? It's like on my list. You don't watch, you're not updated on succession. Can we do real talk? All right. I went on vacation. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:25:28 With my family when Succession came out. And I came back. Two years ago. I know, but when I came back, everyone at the ringer was obsessed with it. And I realized in retrospect that I just had this like deep subconscious lizard brain of like, nope, I won't do it. I'm late and I can't handle it. I think I've always been that way since I was in, I'm serious, since I was in preschool. The first day of preschool I showed up and my mom, we were like five minutes late and I wouldn't
Starting point is 00:25:52 go in the room. And the teacher's like, it's, my mom didn't know what was wrong with me. And the teacher was like, it's because everyone else is already in there having fun, get to here early. And then I never had a problem. My mom just got me there early and it was never a problem ever again. And I realize I'm still like that because I was the last person to succession. And then now I just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm late and I don't want to, I don't want to do it. It's kind of, that's similar to how I am high fits too, actually. Once everyone's like, once I'm Squidward and everyone else outside the window with SpongeBob and Patrick, I'm like, oh, whatever. I'm like above that. I'm not. I want to watch
Starting point is 00:26:22 the show, but that's the real. I understand that. I understand that for like the flash and the pan shows, like, or like, you know, like when Bird Box came out and it was like a week. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, if I miss that, if I miss that, a month from now, no one's going to be talking about it. Succession's like the best show since Game of Thrones. I don't. Here's things. I am not sitting here being like, succession bored me. I watched the first few episodes. It's unblazing. And I'm trying to be as honest as I humanly can. It's not actually up to me in my conscious brain. I have subconsciously decided that I will, I have been othered and I will reject it. Like, it's not really a conscious decision. So where are you at right now? Are you
Starting point is 00:27:02 going to watch it or no? I want to watch it, but now it's football season. Season three comes out this Sunday. I know. I want to watch it. But realistically, it's very difficult to catch up on TV shows for me during football season. Yeah. I was going to say, like, a lot of the times I'm like high fits where I'm kind of like I go against the grain. It's like the thing I talked about like a month ago where if everyone is really
Starting point is 00:27:22 excited about a breakfast spot and then I just like instinctively don't want to like it. That's not really what's going on with me on this case though. It's really just there's a lot of shows and that hasn't been something that my significant other wants to watch and so therefore I haven't watched it. This is exactly
Starting point is 00:27:37 where I get into the show. It's like if everyone loves it for a couple seasons, and if season three is good, I'm like, all right, I'll get into it now. I just, I don't have the patience to, like, get into a show that people are, like, eventually get disappointed with. I don't know. I'm very bad at... I want to watch Billions and I want to watch Succession, because I've watched, like, half of the first season of Billions, and I've heard of that. Succession destroys billions. Succession is actually, like, a Pantheon show. Like, it'll go down as one of the best 10 shows ever. I have no doubt. It's fantastic. I'm just saying... So I'm not going to rage against machine. I'm
Starting point is 00:28:07 going to watch it. I'm going to watch it. Okay. All right. Well, well, we'll do a little rewatch party. DK and I'll catch up and we'll do a little quarter of that. Maybe I can zoom and watch the show together or something like that. No, we're not going. We'll do a part about it. But we will watch and Craig can kind of like be like, oh, how's it going? We'll do like a little sec.
Starting point is 00:28:21 Okay. Hold on. Sorry. Yeah, I got Cadar as Tony. Craig got Tim Patrick. D.K., you're taking Rondale Moore. I agree. I think Ron Del Moore.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I think that's, I actually put Rondel Moore above Tim Patrick. I do think that's the top three. There are other receivers you would target D. So I had, I'm on Ross St. Brown on my list for the Lions. he's actually rostered in 3% of leagues. He had 73% snaps in week four in a 22% target rate. He had another very solid game in terms of snaps and routes. He played 47 snaps.
Starting point is 00:28:48 He played 47 snaps. 31 routes, 8 targets, 7 catches, 65 yards in week 5, which is all really strong numbers for him because he had only been playing sort of like a part-time role as a slot only guy in the beginning of the season. However, with Quintess C-fits, I believe he broke his collarbone. Yeah. He's going to be out for the rest of the year. Not confirmed, but he might be out for the season, yes.
Starting point is 00:29:08 And this could give St. Brown an opportunity. I recognize the fact that this is a volatile offense. We can't necessarily trust anybody in this offense. Hawkinson even had issues getting going over the last few weeks. However, like Amun Ra, St. Brown, he's looked really solid when he's played. And his route rate and target rate has been really strong the last two weeks. So he's a guy to keep on your radar for sure going forward. And the Ryan's are always going to, I feel like they're always going to have a negative game script,
Starting point is 00:29:36 which means they're going to be throwing a lot. So I don't know. I don't necessarily feel super confident in him being pretty like consistent, but I think he's definitely a guy to keep on your radar if you want like to stash a player. And like kind of like if you if you're in a position where you could stash a guy, he might be a guy to keep it. I completely agree. I would not not add Amon Rost St. Brown in 10 team league.
Starting point is 00:29:57 I think he's right on the border if you're getting pretty desperate at 12 team league. Like he's a good ad. And then anything above 12, I would definitely add at Monrus St. Yeah. Can I add a couple other guys? Definitely. Juju Smith. Chuster is out for the year, so James Washington
Starting point is 00:30:09 kind of comes into play. Oh, that's an interesting one. He is kind of like the Michael Gallup for the Steelers, where he's better than his position on the team. I think he'd probably be like a second or a third receiver on a different team, but James Washington is solid if Pittsburgh's offense continues to look like it
Starting point is 00:30:23 yesterday. He could actually be like a viable option, and then the other guy I wanted to mention is Sammy Watkins finally delivered on his fantasy destiny and hurt his hamstring on Monday night. And Rashad Bateman is scheduled to come back in week six. So that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:30:39 That is a good one. By the way, this is like a bigger picture thing that we need to note. And I think it's important. The Ravens are passing a lot, you guys. Like, for all the hand-wringing and worry. The hash slinging, the hand-wringing. All that stuff that went into. There's zero chance to D-K got that one.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I know where you. I love that. Was that a Drake reference? Yeah, that's actually, so it's what, you know, you don't know the hash-linging by Drake? The hash-slinging. Wait, was it? Hashing slasher. That's like Drake's biggest hook.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Shut the hell up. Anyway. It is. Wait, it really was Drake? It's the hash slinging slasher. I thought you're hitting. The rash slinging. You don't know that?
Starting point is 00:31:19 If you guys are fucking with me, I'll never know it. Just for the record. We would never. Regardless, it's actually kind of awesome because, look, I recognize like if you had JK, not J.K. Simmons. J.K. Dobbins. Did you just confuse him with the actor? Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:31:35 The dad and Juno? Running back for the Ravens, that'd be amazing. Whiplash. Not quite my tempo. Anyway, so... Oh, DK.K. has time to watch Whiplash. You know, by the way, this is getting way off the rails again. But I had no concept of what Whiplash was.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I was on a plane one time, and I was like, oh, this looks good. Like, this looks interesting, good actors, blah, blah, blah. I had no concept of what it was. I'd never heard of it. And then I watched it, I was like, this is the best fucking movie ever. Like, it was so good. I really, really enjoyed it. That's not really much of a story.
Starting point is 00:32:06 But Damien Chiselle, that's the guy who also did La La La Land? Man, it was really good. He probably loves La La Land. Regardless, getting back to the point, if you had JK Simmons, if you had J.K. Dobbins, obviously, that's disappointing. However, it's kind of sweet that the Ravens can't run for shit anymore. That's an over, that's an exaggeration. They're still fine. But they're like middle of the pack as a running team now.
Starting point is 00:32:25 They were the best running offense like ever by yards per temp for like a couple years. Right. So now they're middle of pack. It's great for fantasy in terms of like the receivers there. Marquis Brown. Just go nuclear. which is awesome. We love to see it. I was way too fucking early on that, but it still makes me happy
Starting point is 00:32:40 to see him thriving. Lamar Jackson, we didn't really talk about this, looked incredible, incredible on Monday Night Football. He was just so dialed in, just picking apart the Colts. So he finished down the stretch
Starting point is 00:32:54 I won't say 29 to 32. Did you see this stat where there have been more than 4,000 games where quarterback's thrown the ball 40 or more times and Lamar Jackson is the best completion
Starting point is 00:33:05 percentage in any of those games ever. It was over 90% right? It was like 86 or something, 88 and 40 plus passes. I will say, incredible. Defense was gassed. The large part of that was that they were out of players in the secondary and were gassed. Like, we're going to come to a little bit, but like Mark Andrews, legendary performance. Lamar, I mean, the people were tweeting at me like all these screenshots of people
Starting point is 00:33:26 who like, you know, you need 40 points on Monday to football and you get 41 from Mark Andrews. It's incredible. Incredible stuff. Don't even know how we got there. Markis Browns is the wide receiver 6 How did we even get here? What were you talking about?
Starting point is 00:33:39 What I was talking about was Rashad Bateman. So Rashad Bateman, all of a sudden, the Ravens number two slash number three receiver, because obviously Mark Andrews needs to be included in this discussion. However,
Starting point is 00:33:50 all of a sudden, the third guy in this offense might actually be worth something because they're throwing the ball at a much higher rate than normal. I think Lamar Jackson is on pace to finish with, I think I saw it was like 500 or something,
Starting point is 00:34:02 550, passes over a 16 game season, which is just giving you context. Like he threw up all like low 400s last year. Like his passing rate is way up. And that's great. Their defense is worse. That's what we want.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah, the defense isn't as good. Yeah, they're not as good this year. The run game sucks. Yeah, which is great for fantasy. Love bad teams. Okay. Honestly, I'm excited about it. I think this opens up some options
Starting point is 00:34:26 in the Ravens passing game for fantasy. And I think Rashad Bayman is a great option because I think, yeah, this is a great guy to like just park him on your bench, see how it all goes if they continue to throw a lot if Lamar continues to be very very efficient which he was this last week and basically he's been very efficient this whole career but with more volume
Starting point is 00:34:43 yeah there's definitely opportunity there so I like that they're playing the Chargers next week which is going to be an awesome game I wish that could be Sunday night instead of Gino Smith first Big Ben seriously good Lord how weird is it so the Chargers are going against the Ravens
Starting point is 00:34:59 and the Chiefs are against Washington. So you have two, like, of the best teams the NFC West are in Maryland, like an hour from each other. It's kind of weird. At the same time. Anyway, no one cares about that. Last thing I want to mention, speaking of the chiefs, Tyree Kill has an undisclosed knee injury that we have, we know nothing about, which I want to throw out there. We have no actionable information on this.
Starting point is 00:35:20 And obviously it doesn't actually mean anything because we don't know if Michael Hardman is like a one-to-one replacement or like to Marcus Robinson, but just keep it on your radar. Josh Gordon, right. Josh Gordon, right. Well, stud. Yeah, sure. pick him up, we'll be at your own risk. Okay. So to just recap there,
Starting point is 00:35:37 because that was a really long conversation, Cedaristone, Tim Patrick, Rondell Moore is our top tier, and then also keep an eye on. Amon Ross St. Brown, James Washington, and Rashad Bateman. And I'm just going to throw a little dart throw if you're in a really deep league. John Ross, bet it gets a touchdown this week.
Starting point is 00:35:54 There you go for that. Okay. I like it. All right, but not in anything other than like a 16 team league. Please, no one at him. Did we already do, did we already do the showdown? I can't even remember at this. point. Yes, we did, I think. It was the Mariah Carey thing. Oh, yeah, okay, cool, cool.
Starting point is 00:36:07 We can move on. We did. Wow. Okay, that's, if D.K. forgot that, then we need to move on. Tight end. DK. is your number one tight end this week. Okay, so, I don't know if I'm going against the grain here or not. Dan Arnold for the Jaguars, who is rostered in
Starting point is 00:36:23 4% of leagues. I'm pretty excited about the usage and the long-term viability of this ad. Like, there's other guys, and we get to those other guys that might be better, like, this week options. However, Dan Arnold, not Sam Donald,
Starting point is 00:36:39 Dan Arnold, 52 snaps out of 71 for the Jags this week. He ran 30 routes, which was second most on the Jaguars team, which is, I mean,
Starting point is 00:36:51 say what you want about the Jaguars, they're just a cluster fuck of weird. And then he had eight targets and a team high, six catches for 64 yards. I actually think he looked pretty good. So I watched the Jags game last week
Starting point is 00:37:04 right after they had traded for Arnold, and he only played. played like a couple of series. He didn't play that often. They were basically trying to work him into the offense because he probably didn't know the playbook and all that. But he looked pretty solid, pretty dynamic.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Like a run after the catch kind of guy, good athleticism. He's more of a receiver than a time. Good athleticism? He was a receiver, I believe, in college. Or at least... Those guys can be called athletic. He is very athletic, is the key here.
Starting point is 00:37:28 And it's the main thing that I'm focusing on, that he's athletic. But he looked dynamic. And I think he's going to have a big part of his offense. They traded a fucking top 10 pick for this guy. They better have a fucking plan for him. I still can't believe that they did that.
Starting point is 00:37:43 The Jags are a jump to fire. They drafted a cornerback ninth and then two years later, you're like, let's get that tight end that like the Panthers might cut. Yeah. Crazy. I like this. There's definitely some guys I would probably pick ahead of him, but I see, like I definitely there's a world where Dan Arnold just actually ends up like the number two receiver
Starting point is 00:38:03 on this team over the next couple months. but my number one pick this week is Evan Engram and it's everything we just said about the Giants which look you know it four catches for 55 yards last week that's not nothing and then again it's like Kenny Gallaud is hurt we still don't know the deal with Sterling Shepard
Starting point is 00:38:17 and Darius Slayton Sey Seyquant's hurt Cadir's Tony is I mean my God like he might have to deal with freaking Jill and Ramsey this week like you know Evan Engram is there and like he's suddenly probably the number two option on this team maybe like that just you know
Starting point is 00:38:29 I think he's like a Glansberg he's been forgotten about because he had that calf injury early but I think Evan Ingraham's about as good as you're going to do short and medium term for a tight-end-off waivers. Very athletic guy. Ran a 4-4-4-da. You're just doing that to needle me at this point. Yeah, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:38:46 However, he is very athletic. He ran a 4-4. God damn it. It's maybe the first time, is this the first time that we all have a different option? I went with Ricky Seals Jones. Yeah, this was my number two. So Curtis Samuel came back, because remember last week, I made fun of you guys, and I said Ricky Seals-Jones was not a real option. and I was like, that's a dumb person ad.
Starting point is 00:39:05 And I said, Curtis Samuel, well, Ricky Seals Jones had a good game. Curtis Samuel re-injured his groin and is out again. He's week to week. Someone was talking on Twitter. I think it's J.J. Zacharyson about how if Ricky Seals Jones didn't go by Ricky, he would not be a very good ad. But because he goes by Ricky, imagine if this was Richard Seals Jones or Dick, Dick Seals Jones. If he was Dick, if he was Dick Seals Jones, you'd probably be my number one ad here.
Starting point is 00:39:31 If he was, or what if he was just Dick Jones? that's pretty good Dick Jones Dick Seals Dick Jones sounds like a madman character but Ricky Seals Jones played 99% of snaps
Starting point is 00:39:42 he had eight targets 87% of routes this dude is locked in they're playing the chiefs he literally is getting the exact Logan Thomas role which is what you want Also I have to just
Starting point is 00:39:54 put myself on like the pyre here or like put my head on a pike I literally said he would not just exactly get Logan Thomas's role so like you guys are right I gotta give you like I believe that's like the quote. I was like, he will not just get the Logan Thomas role.
Starting point is 00:40:06 And there he is. So yeah, that's pretty cool. I wouldn't have remembered that. So, yeah. Yeah, I like him too. That's a good, okay. He might actually be a better option than Dan Arnold. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:16 The other ones I want to throw out here, Hunter Henry had a good week. He is clearly the past catching tight end and not Johnny Smith. He's a little above 40% owned right now on Yahoo and ESPN, but check it out. I don't want to play the Hunter Henry game. But like the other one I want to throw out you guys is David and Joku. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Before the Mark Andrews, like, destruction game was the number one tied end this week. And so I wanted to ask you guys, like, is this like the classic you chase the guy who had like the huge game and then he does nothing for you? Because like that was my gut. And it's, I don't care that he had a great week. I feel like I don't want to chase that. I think he is the guy that the way I see in Joku is he's going to be very volatile. He still only played 46 snaps out of 72. for the Browns on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:41:04 He did run, according to PFF, a position high 21 routes, and he had seven targets. None of the other tight ends had targets in this game. They both Austin Hooper and Harrison Bryant, sorry, had zero targets. However, the fact that I'm mentioning these two other guys is what worries me. The Browns are still a three tight end rotation. It's exactly the opposite of what you want. You want the tight end that you're going after to be like the number one or number two option.
Starting point is 00:41:32 on the team. Ricky Seale Jones with a 99% Correct. Totally. You do not want to try and rely on a guy who is part of a three-man tight-end rotation
Starting point is 00:41:41 and every week it seems like someone different is like the focal point of that group. Yeah, I think Austin Hooper has had the most tight-end targets
Starting point is 00:41:47 leading up to last week and then Injoku had the big game. I just think it's a stay away. And Jarvis Langee might come back soon. But so, okay, so we don't have to linger
Starting point is 00:41:54 on why three tight-ins is bad. I think he still has he still has explosion potential because he's a good player, former first round pick. Very athletic. However, God,
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah, I just don't trust it. You guys remember Hayden Hurst? That was fun. Okay, so Injoku is not the guy this week, even though he's, if you sort by last week points, he'll come up first. We don't want him. While we're here, just recommending tight ends, I think Robert Tunyon is dropable, which I say at the risk of death because he might just get three touchdowns last week.
Starting point is 00:42:20 I think you can cut him, though. Yeah, but that's the thing is, like, you never know when his points are going to come. But, like, he's just, there's no floor. Like, last week, he had one catch for eight yards. Before that, he had two catches for eight yards. before that he had one catch for six yards before they had three catches, 50 yards a touchdown. You can get that from anyone. This is a guy who's getting single digit yardage in four of his five games.
Starting point is 00:42:41 You can get that from freaking Austin Hooper or any of the Browns dead ends we just mentioned. That's like Harrison Bryan's doing that. So no, I think you can cut Robert Tunyon and not worry about it. With that said, Haifitz just jinxed all of this and Tunin will have two touchdowns this week. He has to, right, now that I said that, it's the Ricky Stills Jones curse. Before we end up, before we finish, I think it is important to make. mention, Zach Ertz, who is rostered in 37% of Yahoo Leagues, is another very good option because Dallas Goddert was put on the COVID list today.
Starting point is 00:43:11 He could come back in time, I believe they play on Thursday. Yeah, they play Tampa Bay on Thursday, the Eagles do. So there's a chance that Goddard comes back and is in the lineup. However, it's unlikely, I would say, at this point, that he's going to make it back. Oh, this just happened. Yeah, this happened. This is Tuesday morning. We're recording late today because we took the day off yesterday for Indigenous People's Day.
Starting point is 00:43:30 however, if Goddard doesn't play, Zach Earth is a great start, I think. I would put Goddard. For this, I think Evan Engram, I would take over Goddard long term for the rest of the season. I would actually, if you have to stream for this week, I would take Earths over Engram
Starting point is 00:43:44 because the Bucks defense lost someone else. Levante David, who is like the most underrated player on the entire Bucks team, like the key to the defense really is, I believe probably going to miss that game on Thursday. It's like not sure, but I mean, again, they just have nobody to guard these guys.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Like, Earth's is probably a really good. pick against the bucks. I don't know. I wouldn't feel confident starting them if Dallas Gutter comes back though. No, no, no. Yeah, okay. But we'll see.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Okay, so keep that in mind. All right. Streamers, do we want to do a trivia question? Just in memory of... For fun. Let it go. Yeah, sure. Pointless showdown.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Is that cheap in the product? If we're just doing it, now there's no stakes. Who cares? It's fun. All right, fuck it. I'm gonna, how about this? I'm changing my answer to Ricky Seals Jones,
Starting point is 00:44:27 and then now we can have a Seals Jones show. Yeah. That's funny. How much gold in tons has been mined in human history? Oh, hell. Gold is heavy, too. This is tough. So I actually know one part of this, which is that I believe all of the gold ever mined in human history can fit in, like, two Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Hmm. Okay. However, that, yes, because think about how thin, like gold's very thin. That's crazy. And, like, you can, but however. I have no idea what that means in weight, so it's kind of useless. I'm going to be so far off here. Craig. Me too.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Okay, I know that we're not playing the price is right thing, so I'm just going to think of something here. Wait, everybody think of something at the same time. How many tons? I need more than a couple. A ton is, how many tons? Tons, 2,000 pounds. I'm trying to envision 2,000 pounds of gold. How much of those little bricks in the movie's way?
Starting point is 00:45:26 You know what I mean? They're pretty heavy. but it's not like a toss like your car keys. There's always like a little... 50 pounds? I have no idea. I bet they're 50 pounds. No, that's close high.
Starting point is 00:45:37 A gold bar? I think a gold bar is like 10, 15 pounds. I'm going to say gold bar is 10 pounds. Like if I tossed a 10 pound dumbbell, I think it would look a lot like tossing a gold bar in a movie. Yeah. So I'm going to go with 10 pounds. I have seen 20,000 of those in various movies.
Starting point is 00:45:53 So that's 200,000 pounds. And that's probably all the gold in the world, right? I looked it up. Is this cheating if I look at it up? Is this cheating? if I look it up. Yeah, that's the fucking definition of cheating. A gold brick weighs 27 pounds.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Oh, wow, okay. Those things are fucking heavy. They're beefy. Wow. Damn, so I could curl gold bars? Yeah. I mean, if you're really bougie. Dude, do you think people do that?
Starting point is 00:46:16 Do you think like, I think like NBS does that? My God. That's actually pretty cool. Big rich guy move. All right. Are you guys going to say pounds or tons? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:28 we have to say tons, otherwise they'll screw thing up. So figure out your answer in pounds and then take three zeros off. No, I'm saying tons. Yeah, it's the point. Say tons. Okay. Robert Tunian. Okay. Tungeon?
Starting point is 00:46:40 I'm saying 500 tons. I was going to say 10 million pounds, which is what, a thousand tons? DK's biggest fear is doing math live on air. I went way above you guys. I said 100,000 tons. I'm saying 500 tons. Wow. This is really getting us.
Starting point is 00:46:55 The answer is, oh my God, it's 200,000 tons. That makes more sense. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I won one. Did you see 500? What's wrong with me? In the entire history of the world? Come on, guys.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah, I guess I left that part out. I really got stuck on the gold bar thing, didn't I? 100,000. So it was 200,000? You were pretty close, actually. 100,000's pretty good. You were close. I also think I did my math wrong.
Starting point is 00:47:17 I think I did everything wrong. Everything I could have gone. Okay, anyway. I think we'd keep in 10 million divided by 2000 is 5,000. I only go, like, look, I can't go if there's no stakes, you know? I'm like Michael Jordan golfing. there's no money on it. I can't,
Starting point is 00:47:29 you know, I can't hit straight. Okay. If you need a quarterback to stream this week, this is, so again, the teams are the Falcons,
Starting point is 00:47:36 Niners, Jets, and Saints. However, the injuries, again, Russell Wilson, I'm sorry, D.K.
Starting point is 00:47:42 Russell Wilson, hurt his middle figure. So, he already had surgery, like 60 hours after it happened, but he's out for a while. So,
Starting point is 00:47:47 and then Trey Lance also had a sprain knee. The Niners aren't by this week, but, like, Cal Shannon is like, B.T. Dubbs,
Starting point is 00:47:53 Tray Lance's knee sprain. You know, The Niners had a really luck. This is a great buy week for the Niners. They really need it. Yeah. And then Daniel Jones will see his status. We don't know it yet.
Starting point is 00:48:04 But I think the obvious quarterback streamer for me this week is Taylor Heineke. They're playing the Chiefs. The Chiefs give up the most points to opposing quarterbacks and fantasy. Washington gives up the second most. So this is probably going to have a really high over under. And then they probably have to shoot out and the Chiefs defense kind of sucks. So I think Heineke's number one. Trevor Lawrence against Miami.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Lawrence, if he's out there, yes. But if he's not, it gets hard. like, I don't want to, I mean, Bridgewater. That was who I had second. I had Heineke, then Bridgewater, and then Carson Wentz versus Houston. Wentz. Wow. Wentz actually looked pretty good last week.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I don't know if I still err on the side of caution with Wentz and think that's probably going to be the exception and not the rule. It was a really well-designed game plan. Just like a lot of open passes were there for him. He was just like hitting these quick little outs like the whole game. And he did look pretty good, but he wasn't exactly. like, you know, he didn't look like Peyton Manning out there. Can I also give you one
Starting point is 00:48:59 like really if you're desperate, if you are desperate, can I give you guys a quarterback streamer that's particularly relevant to both of you? Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying, I'm just to say it. I'm going to get it off the chest. What, Ben Rothesberger. Oh, Rathsburger. He's playing the Seahawks. I believe the Seahawks have given up the most yardage to this point in NFL history. Like,
Starting point is 00:49:17 that's a good point? What do you do? Like, is that on the table if you're desperate. The Seahawks defense is so bad. It's so bad, you guys. I can't even like speak ill of this idea. If it's the CX defense is incredibly bad. I just had to throw it out there. But don't play by my office burger unless you're literally like, you have no idea what else to do.
Starting point is 00:49:38 But yeah, Heineke, Wentz and Teddy Bridgewater, I think are the three this week to stream. Okay. Defense is tough week for that too. I think the two to look at this week are if they're available, the Cowboys D against the Patriots is actually kind of not that bad. And then the other one, the Vikings D against the Panthers.
Starting point is 00:49:57 It's a little dicey to go against the Panthers because they can put up points, but the Vikings are just really complicated and Darnold can just throw picks and throw pick sixes and he had what, three picks last week? So I'd probably go to the Vikings. Is there anything else even on your radar?
Starting point is 00:50:09 This is a tough week for streaming days. I'm going to be totally honest. I forgot to look up defenses. Well, if you looked it up, you would just be like, wow, I don't have any idea, so it's okay. I think the Vikings are pretty widely available and I would go get them.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Cool. Yeah, I mean, if you want to stick to the team playing Houston, you could get indie, but it's just not a great week. Okay. That's all we got. Just to re, do we want to recap all the guys? Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:50:35 The ones with the top three, so we got running back, it's Derell Williams, Stavante Booker, and if you need someone this week, like Alex Collins, if you want to go like more just over the next month or so, Khalil Herbert, wide receiver, Cadarist Tony is like unanimous number one. And then after that, Tim Patrick, Rondale Moore, like the top two, tight end,
Starting point is 00:50:52 whoof, Evan Engram, Zach Ertz, depending what happens with Dallas Goddard at Thursday. Dick Jones. Rickie Seals Jones. Dick Jones. Richard Jones Seals. Do you streamer,
Starting point is 00:51:01 go get Taylor Heineke or, you know, Teddy Bridgewater, or if you really want it once, if you really don't like yourself. And then defense, yeah, Vikings or Cowboys. All right. Anything else?
Starting point is 00:51:11 No. I think that's it. Fantasy by Mara Carey. We can get it from 150, we can take it to 300. We can do it if they let us do it. Seriously. Music and talk, Spotify.

Starting point is 00:52:08 Right. I don't know what Craig likes. I, like, I'm not putting him on in the car. I'm not like, you know what I want to do right now? Listen to Kendrick Lamar. Shout out, dissect. Great Spotify podcast. That one was high if it's then.
