Starting point is 00:00:00 The ringer gambling feat is your one-stop shop for all things betting throughout the NFL season. From week one all the way through Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, we have you covered every which way. We've got our favorite futures. We've got props. We'll discuss the lines. And, of course, we'll throw in a few parlase. That's a given. So whether you're a sharp or a square better, we'll be breaking it down in terms.
Starting point is 00:00:24 Hopefully, everybody can understand. We'll try to win some money along the way. and be sure to subscribe to the Ring of Gambling Feed on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hypatts and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlebeck, who is back. We're going through our most staff players after week 10.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Here's how works. We're going to go through position by position. We're just going to pick our top guy at that position, but then we're going to fight over who gets the guy. So we're doing trivia. It's a tiebreaker. It's not that complicated. You'll figure it out, I promise.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Email us to ringer Fantasy Football at gmail.com. We want to send us trivia questions. We love an inside joke. We love us something about a Cloy's box or an old, random, old-timey person, or, you know, whatever, whatever floats your boat. DKKs at Danny B. Kelly on Twitter. He's a waiver column also at Fantasy Football.com. That goes live Wednesday. A lot of plugs.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Weird order. Craig's at Craig Horrell back on Twitter. I'm Danny underscore Hyfitz. God, we're going into week 11 now. That's pretty crazy. The team's on by. It's fine. Atlanta Falcons, Colts, Patriots, Saints.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It's fine. Like, you're running backs. It's like you lose Bijon, Ramantra, Camara, John Taylor. Other than that, oh, no, it's like Chris a lot. Bobby Michael Pittman, Tays some hell. It's fine for a by week. Like, it's like the best you could possibly ask. Could be worse. It could be a lot worse.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Yeah. So without further ado, D.K., please give us your number one running back, waiver wire ad, entering week 11. Sweet. I want to preface this with saying if Devin Singletary is out there, he just, he's above our threshold here, but he should definitely be picked up. That being said, I'm going to go with Tite Chandler for the Vikings. Who you guys got?
Starting point is 00:02:12 I did the same thing. I also did the same thing. Sweet. Wow. Tite Chandler showed up. time off the top. Are we going to talk about him after showdown time then, I assume?
Starting point is 00:02:21 Want to do the showdown and then come back around and explain why we did tie and then... Let's do it. Yeah, sure. All right, it is the Thai Chandler. Showdown time. Woo! I wish we could hear the gong, but we can't.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I mean, we could, but it's like a pain in the ass for Kai to do that. Yeah. This is from Austin. Austin. Austin. Austin? No. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:02:43 There's so many. Do you know how many Austens there are? I don't know. Is that the trivia question? someone can send that in the whole trivia thing started because we were guessing where nick fulses from and then it turned out austin but we got the mileage like we built a perfect triangle equilateral triangle of the war of the united states the lore how many from austin how many times is sunny said in the first godfather hey you nailed it how many times is the name sunny
Starting point is 00:03:10 said or sonny it's up to i may have it's up to interpretation really wow no i don't think so scholars in the first Godfather movie. Okay. I think I got an answer. Three, two, one. Six. 18. Six, I see.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Six is low. Well, he dies like halfway through the movie. Spoilers, Greg. It came out 50 years ago. If D.K. is right, then I don't think I should be shamed. If it's only six times in a three-hour movie, then I feel like it's fine. Again, he dies halfway through. But I said 18.
Starting point is 00:03:47 What did you say? I said 25, which feels very high now. All right. Did you know he dies? I'm a little worried. Yeah, I saw the movie. The total... Well, you didn't know how to pronounce his name.
Starting point is 00:03:56 So I don't know. The answer is 44. Oh, 44. Wow. I felt like this was a trick question. That's why I went low. But that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:04:07 It's like, it's funny. The trivia actually ends up being a lot like if you have a league with free agent auction bidding, which is hilarious because it's a better way of doing waivers because it's just everyone has the same amount. But sometimes someone will bid like $80 on a running back, but then no one else bid. And that's how I feel sometimes when we're just so wrong on these answers. I get Tide Chandler. It's hilarious, though, that not only do we all lowball how much they said the name Sunny,
Starting point is 00:04:31 you guessed the highest number, and it was in fact higher than that. And yet you're the one who mispronounces his name. Sonny? I would never. That's crazy they say it 44 times in like half a movie. I've never mispronounce the name. I get Tichandleier. No.
Starting point is 00:04:46 So Ty Chandler running back for the Vikings. Alex Madison has a concussion, and then Camer Acres, already toured his Achilles. So Camerakers is done, and if Alex Madison can't play, it's like what, Tail Chandler and Miles Gaskin? And he had a touchdown this week. So I feel like Ty Chandler just might be starting running back this week and also might just split with Madison the rest of the season. Well, they're playing the Broncos on Senate at football, which should not go understated.
Starting point is 00:05:07 The Broncos are terribly terrible defensively. And even before Madison got hurt, Chandler was mixing in. They were basically splitting carries in the first half. And then Madison went down with the concussion in the third quarter. So, look, again, it's not like Ty Chandler's an elite talent or anything like that, but in the same way that Madison was like, he's there and that's his best quality, Ty Chandler's there. Madison and Tide Chandler are like the poorest possible version of Zeke and Tony Pollard
Starting point is 00:05:33 where like Alex Madison is pretty plotting and not good. And Tide Chandler, in comparison, like a revelation when you watch it. He's got the juice. It's got the juice. I've always liked this guy ever since the track. The whole team has the juice. Yeah. I'm excited to see this.
Starting point is 00:05:46 All right. So I get Todd Chandler, Craig. You get, you get second. D.K. gets the dregs of the sixth mentions of sonny and the grandfather. I've been really struggling with the trivia lately. I know. I'm keeping tally. I haven't added it all up yet.
Starting point is 00:05:56 I don't. If we want like a status check, I can give one next week. But I think I'm last. I don't know who's winning. Man, I'm between Keith Mitchell for the Ravens and Zach Charbonneigh for the Seahawks. Charbo's still out there? Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:13 People have just been ignoring us. I guess people who play ESPN. leagues don't listen to our show because he's 39% rostered there. So Keith Mitchell, for context for the Ravens, had one of the weirdest stat lines I can ever remember, which is his first carry was a 39-yard touchdown. And then the next drive, he got a 32-yard catch. And then he got two more carries the rest of the game for negative five yards, which I don't know how many times that's ever happened.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Have two 30-plus-yard touches, and then two that got negative, and then that's it, without an injury. I think he's, I mean, he had a hamstring injury coming into the week. And I think he wasn't 100% healthy because, yeah, he had four touches. and they're playing Cincinnati on Thursday night. I think I'm going to go with Charbonnet. They're playing the Rams, and Charbonnet is 100% the passing down guy now.
Starting point is 00:06:54 He has replaced DJ Dallas. He plays all the two-minute drills, all the third and longs, and the Seahawks have just like run a ton of plays and have been in negative game scripts a lot lately. The Seahawks have actually run the second most plays in the two-minute drill. Oh, that's interesting, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:12 In the last two weeks. And so that's how Sharbonne has really taken off. So it's a more even split now Like Kenneth Walker is truly just like the first and second down guy And then Charbonne's a third down guy They're playing the Rams So I think I'm gonna stick with Sharbon I think it's a little bit safer
Starting point is 00:07:25 I don't know I don't trust anything that's going on in Baltimore's backfield ever Yeah I get that It's a three man backfield where the best running back is actually the quarterback So it's like a four man backfield nightmare But they've ever really been running him a lot it feels like But all that is true I'm still going to take Heath Mitchell just because look at the man He's freaking good I mean he's explosive as fuck
Starting point is 00:07:45 and so I like to kind of at least, at the very least, put those guys on my bench and see if it, you know, pans out that they're getting a lot of touches. Obviously, this last week was a little bit disappointing, four touches, but he did score a touchdown. So that's great. So I'm going to go. He looks really good on the touchdown, too.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I mean, he's like Devon A-chan level burst and speed, you know, it's like. Like if A-chan is Ricky Bobby, then Keith Mitchell's like Cal Norton. Right. It's like a poor man's version. But I just want to see what he can do in this offense. So I'm at very least putting him on my bench. and if they can make it a two-person backfield versus like a three or four like you were saying,
Starting point is 00:08:18 if it's, then that's where he starts to become much more valuable down the stretch. The other guy I would mention here, well, there's a couple guys. I would mention Rico Dowdell for the Cowboys who has been playing very well in contrast to our boy Tony Pollard who has just been really struggling efficiency-wise.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And there's a chance here that the Cowboys decided to start using Dowdell a lot more. And honestly, they'd probably be good for Pollard. Like it would probably be a situation where Pollard gets better if they start using Dowell-Wall more. Do you think, do you think
Starting point is 00:08:45 Pollard is the biggest whiff of this show's history? I think, yes. Hyphids says that. Because we were all aligned. It's not like a Josh Jacobs thing where like it was,
Starting point is 00:08:54 that was just a hyphitz thing. This was all three of us said on the Bill Simmons podcast is our favorite player in the draft. Yeah, this is the only people in fantasy that like number one.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Matt Barry always jokes about how he like he like said Michael Vic should be the number one picking a draft and that was like his biggest miss. I feel like this is our Vic. Yeah, no, I'm fine to say this is the biggest whiff.
Starting point is 00:09:11 By low though. hold the line. We're going to the moon. The only thing worse is selling low and then you just do a whole buy high, sell low thing. Let's just never talk about Tony Pollard again is the deal, I think. People are singing with it. I will say Rico Dowdell, you can actually just play this week
Starting point is 00:09:29 because the Cowboys are playing the Panthers and the Panthers run day like that game. Never a normal game. They really, Cowboys really don't play normal games. So Dowdell probably is just as good of a chance to score as Pollard does. And then also just if anything happens to Pollard, Or maybe the Cowboys starting running back job is just cursed. And whoever the backup is just like gets to be the Blue Mountain State.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I mean, Zieg was amazing for like six straight years. What are you talking about? Not six. He was amazing for three and then he was bad for three. What? You give him bad for three years, even in fantasy terms? He declined. Last year he had 12 touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:10:05 And then they replaced him and he went to New England. Yeah, but the guy who replaced him is terrible. All right. The guy replaced and broke his leg in this year, which I will never ever just be like, that's fine ever again. That's my memento tattoo for this year.
Starting point is 00:10:20 No broken legs in the year of for a guy who has to run in his job title. Anyway, Rico Dattle, the other guys who I think are a one week filling, like if you do have a Camara, Jonathan Taylor, you know, those Bijan, those guys run by.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Daryl Henderson for the Rams or Royce Freeman, which is a real like, you know what? Sometimes Tommy Pickles, a baby's got to do it. A baby's got to do. Like, it's not pretty.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It's short term. It's just a little fling. like Kairn Williams is probably back in week 12 but week 11 it's like they're here Darrell Henderson's there they're on waivers they exist and they will play and they'll get 12 touches and if that's all you can do that's all you can do that's fine
Starting point is 00:10:51 yeah more stashes obviously wow that was like the least enthusiasm in the history of the show I'm just saying if you literally just need someone for this week that's too but I wouldn't take them in any of their context if you have the room for stash
Starting point is 00:11:06 the other guy is another guy that we just keep saying but Tajay spirits for the Titans Yeah, the Titans have the third easiest schedule in the playoffs for fantasy running backs. So if something ever happens to Derek Henry. We're at the point of the season where it feels like we're saying the same guys every week. This is the state of the waiver wire. Can I give a tiebreaker though? I think the game theory for handcuffing running backs, it's like if you want that upside guy.
Starting point is 00:11:29 And again, the idea that your bench, you want like a lot of, if they're going to hit, they're going to hit big. I like to look at, if you're like a contending team, I like to look at the one or two other teams that are really like your competition. and if that team has Ken Walker, then I want Charbonnet. Or if that team has Derek Henry, then I want Tadje Spears because it's like, if there's an injury, then they get weaker and your team gets stronger.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So it's just like a tiebreaker if you can't pick. Joe Mixing Trevion Williams for the Bengals, like he's there, Kenneth Gainwell for the Eagles if the guy is Swift. Like you just, it's just like sometimes it can flip them match up. That's a good one. Wide receiver,
Starting point is 00:11:56 number one wide receiver entering week 11. This one's tough. I don't feel good about any of these. I guess I'll just go with Noah Brown for the Texans. You don't feel good about Noah Brown and like, 320 yards in the last two weeks? Right. Correct. That's what I, that's, I do not feel good about him having 150 yards again.
Starting point is 00:12:14 But you know what? As you said last week, maybe he'll do it again. Who knows? I don't know what's cheating. I have Brandon Cooks here. And I don't know if that should count or not. He's like 39% on Yahoo. And it's like tomato tomato. They both had an incredible week. But I don't know what Brandon cooks are the two best. Yeah, I'll do cooks just because I know Cooks is starting. We can talk about, we could do a little showdown. But I chose cooks just because number three receiver, this week, but I was looking at the fantasy playoffs. I think that I know Cooks is going to play, whereas in Houston,
Starting point is 00:12:43 Noah Brown, I don't know what the deal is at the competition. But the fantasy playoffs, week 15, Cowboys are playing the Bills. Then 16, Cowboys are playing the Dolphins, 17, the championship week, Cowboys are playing the Lions. Those are like shootouts. And I was like, damn, like Brandon Cooks can play for you this week, but also like, I just like having him, like,
Starting point is 00:13:00 filling in for them too. So that's my choice. Yeah, Cook has a really good track record, which is the opposite of Noah Brown, who didn't really do anything until like a month ago. But that being said, I mean, if you look at his numbers, he's had five plus targets in each of his last four games. So he's definitely a big part of this offense. This is a good quarterback like we talked about with C.J. Stroud and a sending offense.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Seems like they're very reliant on their passing game because their run game has been very hit or miss. So, you know, there's a lot of variables that are working in favor of Noah Brown, even though it does look like Nico Collins will be back soon. Stroud is sick. Yeah, Stroud is awesome. MVP. They've never, the Texans basically all year have never had all four of their top receivers. was healthy. Nico Collins, Noah Brown, Tanktail, and Robert Woods. There's always like one guy out for
Starting point is 00:13:41 three weeks. So that's why the other three have been able to like fill in. So maybe now, if Nico Collins is back next week, this will be the first time I think all four have been on the field this year. So who's the odd man out? It's probably Robert Woods. But it's a lot of malice defeat. Also Dalton Shulton's a tight end. They are playing the Cardinals though. So yeah, I'm going to stick with the guy who's hot. I like Cooks. Cooks is like solid, but they're so hit or miss. Dallas, it's just they're such a weird team. It's like they just like, it's like they go in deciding
Starting point is 00:14:10 who's going to have a good game before the game actually starts. Like the week before this one, Brandon Cook's had one catch for seven yards. Well, they never picked Tony Pollard. That's the part. They're punishing. Now Milton just pass.
Starting point is 00:14:20 He doesn't get a touchdown. So I will say the Noah Brown thing's weird because I get what you're saying, D.K., where it's like, there's all this competition and maybe he won't deliver, but also his last two games would have been the third best season
Starting point is 00:14:32 of his career. Like literally the last two games were better than any of his first. four seasons. So I do it that way you will. We'll ride the hot hand. The coach thing. Let's write the hot hand here. All right. So Noah Brown's showdown time. Yeah, me and D.K., let's do it. It is the
Starting point is 00:14:46 Noah Brown showdown time. Oh, wow. We heard the gong. He played the gong. It's just so full of surprises these days. Look who's growing up. That really did invigorate me. I feel like I feel like a different person.
Starting point is 00:15:01 It's so much better than we can hear that. Very, that rattled me to my core. Well, everyone now is listening. is probably like, wow, they haven't heard the gong. They just added it after. Maybe they feel lied to it. But I'm like, yeah, this is just, this is a crazy. Yeah. It's all AI now. It's not even our real voices.
Starting point is 00:15:18 All right, this one's from Mike. Mike, Mickey. Is that, is that a thing? Yes, we talked about this. Mickey is short for Michael. That's just someone who did what I did to Sani, but with Mikey. Like, they were like, they read with decay and they read it as Mickey. And then they had to add the seat if sound not.
Starting point is 00:15:36 like they were stupid. So you think it was Mikey Mouse? I, we're not doing this. Michael M. Mouse. Yeah. Probably. Michael Mouse was my father. Please, tell me, Mickey.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I feel like this podcast has abandoned all of Rocket City. So my trivia question is, how many games did the Rocket City trash pandas win in 2023? Oh, no. I don't even know how many games minor league teams play. Do they also play 162? That's the hard part. Do they play that many?
Starting point is 00:16:02 I have no idea now that I think about it. Like, are they AAA, double A, single, Are they like a farm league? I forget. I don't remember. Probably double A or AAA? All right. Were they good?
Starting point is 00:16:14 Were they good last year? I don't know if they played 162 games. So I'm going to go with a DK. You ready? Okay, yeah. Three, two, one, 45. Whoa. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:24 We were close. I said 42. He said 45. The answer is 27. All right. Damn it. I finally fucking won one of these things. Fucking trash pandas or trash.
Starting point is 00:16:33 My instinct is that these minor leagues Oh, they had 42 losses These teams don't play, they don't play as many games yet They were 27 and 42 They actually rocked What level are they? They're the Southern League North Division That means nothing
Starting point is 00:16:54 And then they've As opposed to the Southern League South, which is funny So they play 69 games in a season? Oh wow, that's such commitment to the bit. Yeah, I guess they did. That's crazy. Huh. That's like aggressive commitment to the bit.
Starting point is 00:17:07 They lost to the Tennessee Smokies who won the Southern League North. The best names in sports are minor league baseball teams. Not even close. All right. So I get Noah Brown. The Biloxi Shuckers took the Southern League North, I think. Southern League north, I think. Southern League South, sorry.
Starting point is 00:17:21 The Biloxi Shuckers. Yeah, you get Noah Brown, D.K. Craig, I have Brandon Cooks. You have to, now you have to pick from the Dregs. I'm between two. I'll work them out on air lives. Michael Wilson for the Cardinals. Now with Kyler back, he was like an inch away from a touchdown last week.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I think if he scored it, we'd be probably putting him higher on this list. He only had three catches for 34 yards, but Kyler Murray looked all right. And they obviously won. And we've already seen Tray McBride kind of break out at tight end now. And it's like, look, if Kyler can get back to even a portion of what he used to be, Michael Wilson could have a solid stretch to finish the year. And then the other guy I'm thinking about, God, I guess there's a lot. Quinn Johnston scored a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:18:03 He is on the Chargers rookie. He's basically shots out Kai, TCU. He's basically a full-time starter. I don't necessarily know how good he is. He missed a big block on a play, and he clearly just seems like he doesn't really know what he's doing out there. But he's athletic, and he's a playmaker, and Keenan Allen banged up his shoulder.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Mike Williams is out. Josh Palmer is out. Gerald Everett's beat up. Yeah. Like they don't have anybody, and they're playing Green Bay. So, I still think he has the most, like, blow-up potential. I think, like, he could have a Noah Brown, like, run where he just, like, starts ripping off four catches for 120 years.
Starting point is 00:18:39 I agree, you could have a Noah Brown, like, run. Does nothing for six years, and then seven years from now just has, like, this incredible two-game stretch. You know what's funny now? I'm, like, thinking of this exercise differently now that I know that what is on the line is Kai eating mac and cheese. So I'm like, what is, like, I'm almost wanting to be. to go safer now.
Starting point is 00:18:58 I don't know if I should shoot for the stars. He's eating the mac and cheese. That's locked in. It's, you know, getting to pick the next thing. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with Quentin Johnson. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:09 So Keating Allen got banged up, but you're right where Mike Williams is her too. My only- Palmer thing is like, rest of the season, you want Quentin Johnson to the upside, but I'm like, this week,
Starting point is 00:19:17 under my head, I'm like Jalen Guyton for the Chargers. Like, that's my only concern. Where you're right, it's like he's just boom, I'm going for upside. Yeah. The other one I'd say,
Starting point is 00:19:26 you mentioned Chargers playing the Packers. Dobbs. Romeo Dobbs and Jaden Reed are both like pretty solid options. Dobbs is probably more roster than Reed. But Jane Reed's like a, I mean, at times looks like one of their better receivers. Dobbs. Dobbs is still under 40% on ESPN. You know Romeo Dobbs is tied for third in the league in touchdowns at the wide receiver position?
Starting point is 00:19:47 He has six. Really? And the Packers have always, always had one guy at some time that has just scored way more touchdowns them was ever made sense. Like James Jones did it. And then Jordy Nelson did it forever. And then Devante Adams. Like they have this like weird streak of someone on the Packers that isn't even that good has always had like double digit touchdowns.
Starting point is 00:20:08 And I don't know. Maybe Dobbs is taking out. He made some throws this week. I hope so. He's a quarterback. 19 points. Impressive. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:20:19 The other one I want to shout out also is like if you for this week only along the lines of Rams running backs, not very exciting, but only for this week. and then you cut him a Trent and Irwin because T. Higgins is not going to play. It's not fun, but it's like if you had to pick someone in, but he's just like kind of the T. Higgins when T. Higgins isn't there. And then Pop Douglas, who's unbye. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:37 you mentioned him every week. D.K.'s favorite. He just goes out and has double-digit fantasy points. No big deal. A couple of other guys want to mention here, A.T. Perry for the Saints, looked like he is the next man up if Michael Thomas miss his time. I think Rashid, too, if he's out there.
Starting point is 00:20:51 But it's looking like... They're on by, but yes. Yeah, there's a chance, though, that Michael Thomas has a, I think the coaches there said it was somewhat serious. We still don't know exactly the deal. So pay attention to that. If Michael Thomas is going to miss extended time. For Rashid, it's like if James Winston, Derek Carr probably may not miss time,
Starting point is 00:21:09 but if Derek Carr misses time, I think Rashid Jehid is a must add. Yeah. Like if Derek Carr at any point is announced as like a absence, the difference between Rashid Jehijid being a deep threat for Derek Carr and being a deep threat for James Winston cannot be overstated. Right. Right. And then he's playing tonight, but Khalil Shakur for the bill. is another one to keep in mind.
Starting point is 00:21:33 All right, DK, give me number one tight end for week 11 waivers. Well, obviously, if Trey McBride is out there, go grab him. He's over the limit for us. But, man, I guess I'm going to go with Luke Musgrave for the Packers.
Starting point is 00:21:45 It came down to a couple guys, but Luke Musgrave, just because he has explosive potential more than some of these other guys. Like, he had two catches for 64 yards this last week, so he can go deep. I went with him as well.
Starting point is 00:21:57 He had 64 yards last week. He's basically, he's come on a little bit. in the last month. For the last five games, he's had either 50 plus yards or four catches. So it's just Jordan Love.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Like, if Jordan Love can kind of figure it out, they're playing the Chargers. Again, a really exploitable past defense. So I went with Musgrave. Yep. It's weird. It's cheating because Pat Friarmouth is available.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Like, he probably is returning for week 11, but also. That's not cheating. He was on this list and I did not select him. You can have him if you want. Craigs. All right. I'll take Patty fresh.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Yeah. Screw it. Nobody can. has more than 40 yards a game in this offense. There's no passes to the middle of the field either. Yeah. That's because Patty Frye's been hurt. I guess, man.
Starting point is 00:22:39 I mean, George Pickens, 45 yards, leading receiver on four targets. The Steelers don't want to throw the ball. I mean, they want to throw the ball to lumbering white tight ends. It's like in their DNA. High Fitz is going all in on Patty Fries. It's going to die on the Patty Fries Hill. They're playing the Browns this week. Patty Fries will persevere.
Starting point is 00:22:57 High Fis can't come off Patty Fries now. It's too late. He's too dug in. So you're taking Patty Fries, which is great because that means that D.K., the loser amongst us in this trivia matchup is probably just going to get Michael Mayer, which I'm fine with. Showdown time. You guys show. Luke Musgrave.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Oh, okay. It's the Luke Musgrave Showdown time. Oh, my God. Wow. The reverb. That's good. That's good. That's so sick.
Starting point is 00:23:22 All right. This is from Caleb. Caleb. Williams? Our boy. What's he doing? Took another L this week. Craig's go hard on him.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Geez, man. I'm a nurse who works at a hospital that uses a charting software. You know, you input information for patients. How many different ways are there for me to input to describe a patient's urine? Whoa. Like the color question. Like you click on it at the drop-down menu. How many options are in the drop-down menu to describe the urine of a patient?
Starting point is 00:23:58 Interesting. I thought this was the best question in a while. while of like, wow, I have never thought about that. D.K., how many could you rattle off, you think? Like, colors? How many, how many, how many, well, is it just colors? I don't think it just has to be colors.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Smells, levels of things. It's pungent. I don't know, zero. I don't even know where to start with this. Bloody? That's the, I will rule out. There's no chance to answer zero. Someone wrote this whole email.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I'm answering Craig's question of how, where, how many I could start with. I don't even, come on. Like varying levels of color, yellow, clear, bloody. Bloody. That's not good. Wow. How many different things?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Okay. To be clear, that wasn't my answer. I was just like I didn't know where to start. Okay, that makes more sense. Also, while you guys think, I would like all the doctors and nurses to please email in at ringer fancy football at gmail.com, just explaining all these different states of urine. Because I think this is, you know, it's our body. This is nothing to be ashamed of. and we all can learn a little bit more.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Quick side note here while we think. I was on a plane yesterday flying from North Carolina. Wi-Fi. I paid for the internet and I was able to watch football on the plane. It was thrilled. There was an emergency on the plane. There was a medical emergency. It's something you only see it, I feel like, in the movies.
Starting point is 00:25:19 The pilot asked if there's anybody on board who was a medical professional, nurse, PA, doctor, whatever. And, you know, I was on whatever, normal-sized plane, probably like almost 200 people on the plane. We only had one person who worked in the medical. field. And Liz and I, my wife and I were talking, we were like, does that feel like a higher low number that only one out of 200 work in the medical field? And I was just wondering, like, what percentage of people work in medicine or in the medical field? You know, one in 200? Like,
Starting point is 00:25:43 is that low? Or is that, does that sound right to you? It feels low. I could, I can rattle off. I know probably like 10 nurses right now, just like that I'm friends with. You know what I mean? Like, it feels like there's a lot of people in the medical field for all the different levels. I know. Anyway, the person ended up being fine. Everything was okay, which is good. I thought you were going to go on a tangent about the color of your pee there. Because you don't want to drink too much fluids when you're flying because then you have to get up every 10 minutes go pee. So you're just like dried out like a raisin. You're drier than Kai's food. Dude, I know. I would have to see killers of the flower moon. And I felt so strategic.
Starting point is 00:26:20 I'm like, how much liquid do I drink today? This four hour movie. You legitimately have to treat it like a flight. I googled. I literally Googled when's the best time to pee. during Killers at the Flower Moon. And it was super helpful. Oh, really? I wouldn't pee, no matter what. I don't pee during movies.
Starting point is 00:26:34 I will hold it. But like, at that point, what is this? 340 runoff? I'll hold it forever. The first, last hour, like, it will be hard for me to enjoy the final, if I have to pee for an hour. Just all I think about.
Starting point is 00:26:47 It's like, rather just not. So anyway, luckily, you know, Reddit threads are just like, hey, it's, and there is an answer. You know what they should do? Each theater should have its own private bathroom. And then when you go into that bathroom, the movie is playing.
Starting point is 00:26:58 in the bathroom. Oh, that's brilliant. That's an incredibly specific, thoughtful, and extremely not cost-effective option, but that would solve the entire problem. I don't know. One bathroom per theater? Is that ridiculous? I mean, Russell Wilson has like 20 bathrooms in his house.
Starting point is 00:27:17 He's just making a movie theater. Does he have one in his theater? I don't know. Probably. I ever told you guys that in Fort Myers there's like this bar that I've gone to that like they just have Kenny Powers playing on a loop in the bathroom and I'm like, why doesn't every bathroom have Kenny Powers playing in a loop?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Good point. I love a TV in a bathroom. Big fan. If I'm ever, if I ever have the, you know, a Russell Wilson like house, I'm going to put a TV in there. All right. You guys get to answer the question
Starting point is 00:27:42 about the urine and how many kinds of you in there. Oh yeah, right. Real quick, real quick. The bathrooms in Indianapolis where we go for the combine, what's the place called? Hyfitz, the Indianapolis? No, the bar that we go to.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Convention center? Whatever, it doesn't matter. Their bathroom has like TVs right in front of the urinals. I'm like, cool it, cool in concept. You can't watch a TV when it's like three inches from your face, though, and you're trying to piss. Like, it doesn't make any sense. It's right in your face. If you're three inches. If you're like eight inches away, times of rats, that's really very well proportion. Craig's dad's famous joke. He's like, oh, this water's cold. Yeah. If you ever in a urinal, yeah. And just, just after about three seconds at PM,
Starting point is 00:28:22 just be like, this water's cold. Let that, let that marinate. about four seconds and then go and deep. That's the best. Oh, boy. Anyway, yeah, let's do the trivia. How many ways to describe urine? How many options are there to describe urine? All right.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I think, I guess I have an answer. Yeah, me too. Three, two, one, go. 28. 8. 28? 28? That's a lot.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Now I'm thinking it might be more than eight. The answer is 20, Wow, good job, Craig. 24 ways that pee can look or smell, I guess. Wow, Caleb actually attached a lot of the... Oh my God, please read them.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Okay. Oh, my God. Okay. The 24 ways that pee can look. Clear, clots, cloudy, concentrated, frothy. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Mucous threads, odorous, sediment, stone, plurals, like stones. Bright, dark, light. This sounds like beer now. Bright, dark, light. So like you can select brown, green, orange, pink red, straw colored,
Starting point is 00:29:33 tea colored, yellow, clear yellow without foul odor. It's like a bunch of beer crayon colors in the middle. Yeah. Pink red, straw colored, tea colored sounds like crayons. Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Wow. Which one is the sounds the most alarming? Frothy? Froth. Mucous threads. Frothy sounds like your pee has rabies. God.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I think it has to be like Stone, right? Because Stone, it's like, I don't want a kidney stone. Yeah, those things are not fun. TK., you've had a kidney stone. Yeah, not fun. I should guess if it's in the end,
Starting point is 00:30:07 it's fine. You don't recommend it? Mm-mm. All right, I'll cancel my plans. Just drink a lot of water. You'll be fine. Football, I don't remember what's going on. So I get Luke Musgraves.
Starting point is 00:30:18 You have Pat Fireman's Hyattis and T. That's a sentence sort of scouragami. That's a set and squiragami right there. Oh, man, frothy P. That's probably way worse than mucast threads. Anyway, Luke Bustrae, he's fine. So, D.K., you're up. I'll take Michael Mayer then.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Dude, he had a really nice touchdown catch. Michael Mayer is good and will be good. Yes. I just don't know if it'll work out right now. Michael Mayer is the new, for this season is the touchdown or bust tight end. It's like he's going to have a really cool touchdown or not. And he's like a much more
Starting point is 00:30:50 fun, much more fun version of like how Mo Ali Cox was when they threw him the ball a lot. But I feel like that will define your your happiness with Michael Mayer. But he is incredible to watch. I want to pull up my scouting report with him because, like, truly, when I was watching him in college, he is like one of the best, if not the best,
Starting point is 00:31:05 jump ball tight ends like I've ever watched. It's insane. I said, mayor's built like a tank and plays like one, consistently out-muscling smaller defenders. He has good body control and coordination as a receiver and has a huge catch radius and extremely strong hands. I just love, like, it's always fun when it's like, he does the things that you saw in college.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And it's like going up and winning that ball. is like, that's exactly why I loved it. You also left out the best part that is the Lord of the Rings berserker, which is exactly true with the ball in the sand from the Lord of the two buildings. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the two buildings movie. I realized that as I was watching that clip,
Starting point is 00:31:37 like when he dives into the underneath the bridge, it's almost like diving into the end zone and then like, or not the bridge, but the wall or whatever. Yeah. What's great about that comment hyfitz is that if people never listen to that episode, they think you're the idiot. That's true. Oh, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:31:51 Yeah, Craig called it Lord of the Rings, the two buildings, but you're right. Now people took that me. Did you see Greg someone sent us like a movie poster with like the two towers replaced just by like buildings? The two buildings. Also the thing about Lord of the Rings is my brother watched it on a plane the other day and he's like, if you just skip through the old Gallum stuff, which is incredibly boring and about the nature of man and corrupted by power, skip. The movie's half an hour.
Starting point is 00:32:16 It's the best thing it's ever been made. It's just the fight scenes. Yeah. I do that actually. Yeah. No one likes Gallum. Also, my absolute desperation tight-end flex play, or like if you're like deep bad, Donald Parham Jr., Craig's nemesis. Gerald ever got hurt again.
Starting point is 00:32:29 Donald Parham. That's my like dart throw. Wait, let me give one. Tanner Hudson. Yeah. Stop. Cincinnati Bengals. 12 targets last two weeks.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Teahiggins is hurt. Unlikely to play. Thursday night against the Ravens. Chamar Chase has beat up. 12 targets last two weeks for Tanner Hudson. He's finally playing over, not finally like we were waiting for it, but he's playing over Irbsmith. Long-awaited turns. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:53 He has finally usurped the great Irv Smith, who we've kind of all officially abandoned this being a thing. So, yeah, Tanner Hudson's like he's there, once again, much like Ty Chandler on the Vikings, like Tanner Hudson is there and available, which is availability is the best ability. $20, if you guys can guess, where Tanner Hudson played college.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Shepherd. No, I'm going to go with Notre Dame College. Elon University. No. Southern Arkansas. Is that in the Rocket City League with the trash bandas? Yeah, the Southern Northern Division. They are D2, Great American Conference.
Starting point is 00:33:33 That's the extent of what I know. Great. The Mule Riders. Southern Arkansas Mule Riders. That's an all-timer. I like that. They just called it like it is. Mule Riders.
Starting point is 00:33:47 He's a mess. That's crazy. He's 29 years old. Tater Hudson's like a wily vet at this. point. Is Irv Smith still somehow like 25? He is. Irv Smith is 25. That's sickening. It's been in the league for a decade. Defense streamers this week, I think the dolphins, if anyone dropped Miami because they were
Starting point is 00:34:04 on by and also they play the chiefs, then on by, so if people dropped them, you might be able to ride the dolphins until almost Christmas because they play this week, the Raiders and Aidan O'Connell, who's a rookie. Then they play the Jets and Zach Wilson. Then they play Washington and Sam Howell, the Titans and Will Levis is a rookie. And then the Jets again him is Zach Wilson. Like, if the dolphins are out there, you just take them the whole way. But if not,
Starting point is 00:34:25 dude, the Washington defense against the Giants and Tommy DeVito, oh my God. Like, I just, this is the most non-competitive freaking offense.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And then if those aren't there, I mean, you could do like the Jaguars, which is pretty gross because they just give 31 of the Niners. But the Jags are playing will levasin of the Titans. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:39 they're normally. Security's their thing. Very good. But get the dolphins that they're there. Quarterbacks, honestly, there's only one. None of the teams run by this week
Starting point is 00:34:47 are like, you're playing, I should have two quarterback league. It's like, I hope Derek Carr and Gardner Minshu going on by and Mack Jones isn't hurting your quarterback situation. So the only guy is Josh Dobbs, baby. Josh Dobbs. Our favorite guy.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Streaming him. Josh Dobbs is more fantasy points than Patrick Mahomes this season. Say that again. Say that one more time. Josh Dobbs has more fantasy points than Mahomes this season. Why do we do this? What? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Now, in fairness, he's played an extra game. Sure. I think what's worse is that he has like eight fewer points than Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert in the same amount of games. Love it. Love it. Josh Dobbs. Late round quarterback is back.
Starting point is 00:35:23 Not late round. Just pick that. Josh Dobbs is the guy. Josh Dobbs is the guy that when the draft ends and you look at the quarterbacks available, you're like, oh, there's no one here. That's the new strategy. Just add those guys. Josh Jobs is averaging four more points per game than Trevor Lawrence. Dobbs is, they're also on Sunday night football this week.
Starting point is 00:35:42 It's going to be Vikings Broncos on Sunday night football. By the way, is this all? it always been a thing where it seems that teams who get the Monday night or Sunday night's game the following week have another one. It's just the other night. Like the Chargers had back to back Sunday than Monday. The Raiders are doing it now. And then now the Broncos are getting it where the Broncos are playing Monday night and then playing Sunday night next week. It's like they all get two in a row. Yeah, that's a good note. That's probably related to I don't, there's probably isn't answer to this. But my guess off the top of my head would be like
Starting point is 00:36:13 it's related to ESPN softly demanding slash begging for a better Monday night football. schedule. And it's probably related to me of like ESPN wanting a week to like ahead or after the game to just keep using the footage from their game. You know what I mean? Like keep putting those people on programming the rest of their content. I don't know. It's interesting though. Yeah. It's just been weird. It's like every time if there's a bad Sunday night game, odds are one of those two teams is playing the following Monday night. All right. Dobbs baby a quarterback. All right. Kai's guys. Kai is now picking waivers and who wins are, you know, whoever scores the most points in the players we do these episodes.
Starting point is 00:36:50 If Kai doesn't pick the right person, then he has to eat something exotic that he's never had before, like mac and cheese or whatever, all the crazy stuff that Kai doesn't eat. This week, Kai, you're going to have to eat the mac and cheese. Yeah, that's tough. So far you're 1 and 0, right? I'm one in one. He lost last week, but we waited, Craig, for you. So mac and cheese incoming, there's nothing I can do to avoid that one.
Starting point is 00:37:10 But I live to fight another day this week because I chose Hyphitz and he had Keaton Mitchell, Noah Brown, and Tassum Hill combined for 37. 7.1 half-PPR fantasy points. Nice week. DK had Zach Charbonnet, DeMario Douglas, Kate Otten for 21.6, and Craig had Antonio Gibson,
Starting point is 00:37:27 Quentin, Go-Frogs, Jono Smith for 26. Oh, I got so close. Almost got me with the Quentin Johnson catnip, too. So we'll see if I avoid that this week. I can't believe I lost, even with Antonio Gibson's big day. Close, but no Macon cheese.
Starting point is 00:37:41 I will say my math skills, not my best feature. So, you know, if I'm wrong here, please feel free to email in or whatever. Kai, if we find out you're fudging the numbers on this, we're going to make you eat fudge. It's good.
Starting point is 00:37:59 That's good. I'm not purposefully, at least, but I'm pretty certain. I check the numbers. But again, math, not my strong suit in any way, shape, or form, even less so than food. Do you like fudge? Have you had fudge? I like fudge. Again, chocolate and candy and sweets.
Starting point is 00:38:13 That's my bag. He's like elf. He's like the buddy of the eldest made food groups. Syrup. Candy cane, candy corn. Candy corn. So this week we've got D.K., you got Keaton Mitchell, Noah Brown, Michael Mayer. Oh, that's good.
Starting point is 00:38:28 High Fitz, you have Ty Chandler, Brandon Cooks, and Patty Fries, Craig, you have Zach Charbonnet, Quinn Johnson again. I love it. Go Frogs. Luke Musgrave. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm going to High Fids. Wow. I would have gone, D.K. I'm going to start really against Bounder. I really hope High Fitz loses because of Fryman. Or wins, you know, because he's just, Dying on the friar meat hill.
Starting point is 00:38:49 So on the Thursday show this week, for Friendsgiving, Kai will be eating Mac and Cheese. I'm two for three on Kai's guys, though. Honestly, there's a universe where this is like I'm O for three and I'm just down bad struggling. Morgan's Pork. Yeah. Kyle's going to be in therapy being like I had Mac and Cheese on Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I've never gotten over it. I love that he's actually, he's sweating out his picks. 100%. It's great. 100%. He's like, fuck. Like, again, checking my fantasy teams and then checking this. at similar times.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Like, please, God. Like, when I saw, who was it this week? It was, I was playing against Noah Brown, but I was also like, come on. Like, let's do something here. Not too much. Let's keep it going. We'll figure out.
Starting point is 00:39:34 We're going to figure out when to get Kai the mac and cheese. It's just, this is, it's too good. I've bought it for anyone who thinks that I'm captain and I got it. You'll be eating it on Thursday, so I'll prepare. All right. Thank you, Kai. You guys want to do a couple emails? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I mean, the mispronouncing words, just the gift that keeps on giving. What do we got? We got one from James. James. James wrote my mom, or sorry, his mother-in-law had a trip to Louisiana. And they were like, oh, that's fun. You eat anything good? She was like, I love the beige nuts.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Like, beige nuts. Yeah, the beige nuts. Like, you mean bignettes? Bage nuts. That's good. Wow, that's really good. Email from Billy. Billy.
Starting point is 00:40:16 William. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my mother in the kitchen. She's a lovely lady. But whenever we used cumin, oh no. My mom would refer to it as coming. Wow. You got to move out.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Got to get out of there. Yeah, change life. I mean, well, the first time she said it, wouldn't you be like, mom, it's cumin? He was probably six. He thought that was right. Oh, so he grew up. thinking it was coming.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Yeah. So that's coming. Put a sprinkle of coming. Mom needs that coming. So, Billy writes it so naturally, so I thought it was pronounced. I know it's insane.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Fast forward. Years later, making dinner with my wife. Oh, no. Asking to pass the coming. What? I'm always so surprised
Starting point is 00:41:12 that these words don't come up in the real world, you know? That he never heard, even though I believe, if it's cumin or cumin. I've heard both pronunciations. Both make me uncomfortable. Let's change the word.
Starting point is 00:41:25 It should just be called like taco powder. It just smells like tacos. When you smell human, you get a Mexican food. Smoky powder. Yeah. Cuman. Cuman. I feel like I don't like either of those. I think it's cumin.
Starting point is 00:41:41 Glad the three-way guys decided what cumin should be called. Well, you know. I mean, honestly, just keep it as coming. Coming is good, actually. Coming. I mean, it does look like coming. Does it? Put a little imposhy on the end.
Starting point is 00:41:55 It looks a little, it looks a little too frothy to be coming. Ropes. How many ways you're there to describe? Should this be our like first business opportunity? Like we just fantasy football branded Cuban. By the way, mucus ropes is probably one of the grosser terms as ever heard.
Starting point is 00:42:12 TK. That's just like so wildly said that. I just always think about going back to Binchmoat the Buckeme, binge mode days. Mal and Jason talking about when they're doing the Petronus, just shooting ropes out of their wand. I just can't watch Harry Potter anymore
Starting point is 00:42:29 without thinking that. Shooting ropes. The old Petronus wand. Just like pulsating. Wow. Wow. I'm sorry. I've lost it. This is the all-time moment on that episode or on that
Starting point is 00:42:47 podcast. Anyway, for the people who have been shooting ropes, we've got more songs. I put babies asleep. Oh, we did. That's cool. That's awesome. Yeah, so we got an email from Brad. Brad. Who said that the best information this podcast has ever given out is that Misty Mountains, the song from The Hobbits, puts kids to sleep, which again,
Starting point is 00:43:04 a PSA, if you don't know, and you have a child that Misty Mountains by the Hobbits puts kids to sleep. By our research, 60 to 75% of the people who try it, it works. Yeah. Brad has said that we actually found an even better song, which is the parting glass by the Wellerman. There are a lot of options. It's the parting glass by the Wellerman, and he says, no joke, it's more effective than Misty Mountains. An Irish folk song, I believe. It's just a ton of harmonizing.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's a little bit, I do get it. It's kind of mesmerizing to listen to. Rocks him to sleep. So they have another song, The Wellerman, called Misty Mountains. Oh. Wow. I wonder if this is how he found it. Was Missy Mountains by the Wellermen?
Starting point is 00:43:40 Because that would be like, you know, really short mystery we've got here. Sounds almost identical. Maybe it's the same band. Craig's got nothing. I had nothing either. All right. Cool. Look, I've never seen those movies.
Starting point is 00:43:50 How can I comment on Misty Mountain? I don't have a kid. I've never seen Lord of the Rings. Yeah, the two buildings. Yeah, no. Is it from the Hobbit movies or is it from the Lord of the Rings movies? Yeah, the Hobbit's when there was only one building. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Thank you, D.K., thank you, Craig. Thank you, Kai, for producing this episode. Thank you, Jack, for up behind the scenes. Thank you, Lorne. Thank you, the Wellermint for putting babies to sleep. Appreciate it. I told you guys about how I saw an Instagram post of a person talking about the Misty Mountain song and how it's working on her baby.
