On this episode of the Ringer Fantasy Football Show, we talk about Chase Claypool, future Hall of Famer, Travis Folgham, high school math teacher or person you should add in fantasy this week. We talk about the fallout from Dak Prescott's ankle injury. And then we also talk about how we came in first place in the Fandall million dollar contest. So stick around. Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. I'm Danny Hyfitz here with Danny Kelly and Craig Coralbeck.

And we are coming to you on Sunday night because we are in first place on the Fandall contest. It happened. First place. We won a million dollars. We realized we're going to come and do this pod now, get it out of the way, and then we're moving to Hawaii. I can't believe this happened. You realize how bad of a joke this was, Hypatts?

Why? Even the faintest glimmer of hope that we were doing well, it just was, it was brutal. Explain to me what happened. Well, I mean, it's really simple. If you check the Fandel app, we are in first place out of 667,000 entries. The only problem was is so is everybody else. But I prefer to look at it as the glass is half full. The glass is 1,667,000 full.

So what happened at the top? It's just glitched out for a little bit? So I think the servers, I mean, you could say on one hand that the servers had an issue where nobody, no live scoring was tracked. And therefore, your default was you were just in first place. I prefer to think of it as, we made a million dollars and you cannot prove otherwise. We are first. We won. We will get into it on Friday.

just want to know, like, was our lineup doing all right at the time? Well, I forgot to swap out the Patriots defense, even though they didn't play this week. So probably not. But you can't prove that we didn't win and I will be treating the rest of this podcast like we have million dollars in coming. Do you think they take out the tax first or do we have to like do that our own? Do we have to like, do I have to do that on my taxes for this year? I feel like you have to do that. I have to do that myself?

Okay. How many times have you messed up our lineup? percentage ways like 80, 80% of the time do you mess up our lineup? They're like a bad commissioner. What if we actually did like have the winning lineup and Hyphus just fucked it up? That's what I want to know. Can you imagine then? There would be some serious consequences.

I'd probably owe you a lot of money. Oh my gosh. Anyway, hey, by the way, so Hyphitz mentioned that we're doing this Sunday night. This is a new thing for us. I am just coming down from the high of watching the Seahawks win on the last play. every goddamn week of my entire Seahawks fandom. It's just ridiculous how often this team turns into like, it's like an edgy or C.

I get an adrenaline headache after every single game. What the hell is their deal? I was just saying to you, DK, before we started, that Russ is my first pick for if I needed one drive at the end of the game and I can pick any QB, I don't care of my homes, Lamar, Rogers, I'm picking Russ. That's tough for me because I don't want to, like, I'm trying to be unbiased.

I think I would pick Mahalms. But since I just saw this stat from ESPN, since Wilson came into the league, he has the most game-winning drives of any quarterback. I think part of that, though, is the way that Seahawks play. Like, it's always, it always comes down to the last drive. So that's why he's so comfortable with it because he's been thrown in the deep end so many times

he figured out how to swim. Part of it, yeah. Without any floaties. I was watching that Bama Ole Miss game on Saturday. And, you know, Lane Kiffin had, like, the mask. his mask was just D.K. Metcalf was just the words on his mask. And I remember, I was like, why is that his thing?

And today I was like, oh, yeah, because if you're a teenager, D.K. Metcalf is the coolest player in the NFL. If you're 38 years old, like, the D.K. Metcalf is the coolest player in the NFL. He is legitimately one of the coolest players in the NFL. Not even from a Seahawks point. Like, he's just cool. He drops the game winner.

Two plays later, Wilson goes back to him. Even a way tougher catch. And he manages to catch it anyways, man. Do you earn Apple Watch, DK? Can we track your heart rates during these games? Yeah, it's ridiculous. Every single time. I've tweeted this a couple times now.

But like, I legitimately get adrenaline headaches after the game because I'm like on this crazy like just stress for like 30 minutes straight. What kind of a game watcher are you? Are you like a yeller? Are you really quiet? Are you slamming things? No, I'm quiet. I didn't even realize this was a thing.

My neighbor was telling me about how one time he won a, like an auction where you get to go up and do this dog fight. You go in real planes and they have like a real pilot with you and you go and do a dog fight. And like you're doing like loop to loops. You're like legitimately doing all the dog fight stuff. And he got like this terrible, terrible headache after the after he did it. and his friend was like, yeah, that's an adrenaline headache. And when he immediately, when he said that I immediately was like, oh, now I get it. I'm always like now I feel like shit after every Seahawks game.

It's because of this freaking just. It's an adrenaline hangover? This guy described going upside down and flips and loops and loops in an airplane. And you watched a football game on the couch. Yes. I think it's exactly the same. There's no difference. Anyway.

All right, well, that could throw you for a loop. This whole day throws for a loop. It was... I was proud of that one. It's almost as proud as winning the million dollars. I'm really excited for that check. The Lakers just won the NBA championship in like the least, the most anticlimactic game

I'd ever seen in basketball. The Sears just won. And then weird cloud over the day because we can just skip right to this. I mean, Dak Prescott. I mean, the Cowboys win a meaningless. Your game that feels meaningless. They won the division, who cares?

was Dak Prescott has this horrible compound ankle fracture that was honestly, it was like the most moving moment I've seen in a football field. It was like goosebumps. It was crazy of just him going, Jason Garrett and McCarthy at the field together. And he was sobbing. He was openly weeping on the field. It was really powerful.

So, I mean, we can talk about fantasy in a second, but just watching that, what did you guys think about just that moment and also just the cowboy season with Dak and everything? What was going through your head? it made me mad that the Cowboys were not able to come to a long-term deal with

that. He's playing on the one-year franchise tag. This is exactly what you fear in that situation. You know, he's a top-tier quarterback in my mind. He's like one of the top five quarterbacks in the league. He deserves a top-of-market contract because of what he's done over and like throughout his whole career, you know?

And so to me, the first thing that I thought was like, this just sucks. And I really hope it doesn't mean that, you know, he's going to have a really long protracted recovery. You know, obviously the first thing that came to my mind was the fact, like that Alex Smith just came back after two years. That's the first thing you think of. I hope I don't, you know, I'm not saying that's going to be the situation, but that's the first thing that you fear when you have a compound fracture.

And so, man, I just was gutted. I felt sick for him and just makes me mad that they didn't give them a long-term contract. How could they not come to a long-term contract? You see guys like Patrick Mahomes. I'm not saying he's Patrick Mahomes. but you see guys sign in these lucrative really long deals like, Jared Gok too. It's just like, man, why can't they figure this out?

So that pissed me off a little bit. I was just like, man, he deserves to have that security and that long-term contract and they didn't give to him. It's also a bit of a touching moment just to see everybody kind of come together and focus on this one thing on Dak Prescott, who clearly seems like a good guy and just everybody on social media. I mean, it was the only time in a football game this year with limited fans where I could really hear them.

and just seeing him getting carted off and putting his fist up and everybody clapping for him. It was a touching moment and I hope for the best for him. Yeah, I felt the same way where it was weird because he puts the fist up and then everyone's clapping

and I remember thinking, I don't know how much of the sound is real or fake. I know. I also didn't really care because that was the realest moment I could remember in terms of just the ovation. I felt like in a way like, it was crazy for a player like him to go out

in such a vulnerable fashion of him sobbing because he's at a vulnerable year, right? Like, I mean, we don't have to get too real, but like in his brother died by suicide in April. He talked about how he had a bout of depression. Skip Bayliss made fun of him for that. And then to me, it seemed like a real actual moment where people rallied around. I'm like, no, that's leadership. Like, he's being emotionally vulnerable as the face of the most valuable sports franchise in the world.

That gained a lot of credibility in his teammate's eyes, but really just in sports in general. And I thought it was really awesome that the man cares. And I think that he just really respected guys. So it sucked. Like, that really sucked. But the crazy thing about football is like,

the show goes on. And it's always weird when there's a big moment like that. And then the players don't really know how to get back into the, like the first couple plays after a big injury like that are always so weird

because it's, you have to shut off so much of your brain to play sports at that level and not think about the injuries. And there's like a grace period where everyone has to get back into that. And I mean, we do too.

It's kind of weird. Right. Yeah. But on that note, Andy Dalton takes over for the Cowboys. and I mean he goes what nine completions 11 on 11 attempts for what a hundred 11 yards or something and it's weird to talk about fantasy but what do you like obviously the cowboy's offense has been top three top five for fantasy for this season let's just start with Dalton would you guys

want to pick up obviously Dak's out for the season would you guys want to pick up Dalton and would you play him in like a 10 or 12 team league let's say you have Dak I think how we got to look at this is if you go through the teams like you almost put a name game with him, you know? Like, if you just grab Joe Burrow, would you rather have Joe Burrow or Andy Dalton, D.K.? Burrow. Even though Burrow had a dud of a game, I think I'd still rather have Burrow. I think the reason Dalton is interesting, though, at least from, like, say, maybe you just stash him if you do have quarterback issue, like a, if you're not really loving what your quarterback situation is, the support system around him is good, like, in terms of at least the

receivers, obviously, he has three good receivers. But I do worry, like, the offensive line has not been really good. They've got a lot of injuries on the offensive line, and that's really, you know, hurt them. I don't know if Dalton can do what Dak was doing in that, you know, with that disadvantage. So that was kind of always an issue that hurt Dalton when he was with the Bengals. Like when he was a really good fantasy quarterback, Dalton, he had a great offensive line. So that's the one thing that would worry me.

I don't think I would be too excited about adding Dalton, but it could be worse because they're going to be passing a lot. they're still going to be a bad defense that's playing from behind a lot, and they have really good receivers. So those two things to me make them interesting. Dickey, I'm curious. My gauge and Andy Dalton is he's exactly as good as the talent around him. He does not make your team better or worse.

He just will operate the system that you have. The Cowboys have really good talent. The weird part is the line is now the weakest. It's the exact inverse of what the Cowboys were just a couple of years ago. The receiving talent is an embarrassment of riches. This offensive line has been reduced to nothing. Lell Collins, the right tackle is probably out for the year. Tyrone Smith, the left tackle might be out for the year.

The interior line is all awful. So do you agree that basically if you need quarterback help in this year, you kind of everyone needs quarterback help because the, I mean, just frankly, COVID, the amount of games being postponed, like you always need a backup quarterback. I feel like Dalton, at the very least will be Matt have some matchups where he's a great ad. And I think that you're going to want a guy like that in your bench. At the very least, he's got a Mori Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cidley Lamb, Dalton Schultz.

You want him on your team. I think that's a very interesting point that you just made about the COVID situation. It's like, man, you know, in a week like this, you got one game canceled kind of late with the Patriots and Broncos. And then you have another game that's set for Tuesday that we don't actually know if it's going to happen. It seems like it's going to happen. It seems I'll be kind and say unlikely. Right. So I think, yeah, it's one of those things you have to think about.

In normal year, I probably wouldn't be like, yeah, go pick up Andy Dalton. But in this kind of year, it does help to have, you know, that, like, more depth at every position. You guess even quarterback. So, yeah, I think that's a very good point. That's kind of like a bigger, you know, picture thing that we were going to talk about, too, is that, man, this schedule is just kind of crazy right now with all the things that are happening. It's nuts. I had some really rough lineups. It's like a guy juggling eight balls at once, but they're still all in the air right now.

It's still somehow going. It's, I mean, I played someone this week as a two-quarterback league. Someone had to play Brett Rippian because there was no other option. Like, he just didn't have another. It broke too late at the game. And the people who are going to win fantasy this year, the managers who just like keep up with it. Like, you just have to check every day,

have a ton of forethought, add people just in case somebody doesn't play. So, I mean, look, we're immersed in this. We do this all the time. But in your guys' personal leagues, have you guys noticed that I think some people are slowly just kind of being like, You know what? Like, it's cool. Football is here, but also the season's bizarre.

And people are kind of treating this almost, like, there was so much talk about like asterisk in like, oh, is this NBA season an asterisk? Or people kind of treating your fantasy leagues like it's an asterisk season because it's just so messed up. Like there's Tuesday night football now. And it just is that, because that's happening in a lot of leagues I'm with with my friends. People are definitely disappointed in my like big league. But so there's this, there's been this new discussion that I'd love to bring up to you guys. if the season ends in a week or two, they just cancel the whole season,

it's just too crazy. What happens to all the money that everybody put in? What do you do? Well, I hope that everyone had a plan for that. Maybe we make this to Wednesday show because there's so many possibilities of what to do,

and we had a massive argument over group text about what could possibly be done with everyone's cash. Why wouldn't you decide this before the season when everybody's paying the money? So I will say we've had that same discussion in my home league

and I basically, I'm to commission this league and I said, if the league gets canceled, or if the season gets canceled, which it's not going to get canceled. I mean, the NFL is going to ram this thing home for as long as they can. You know what I mean? Like, regardless of the amount of, like, positive tests they're getting, like, it's ridiculous kind of already what they're doing. The NFL is just Augustus Gloop and chocolate is more games.

So I'm not actually, you know, I think there's a strong chance a lot of games are going to end up being rescheduled, but I don't think the season is going to be canceled. So I will say that, but I said, you know, we're here. We're through five weeks.

Now, if the season ends, if the season ends, it's just whoever's number one in the standings. That's how we're doing it. Gets all the money? No, it's like we do payouts for first,

second and third. I'm, first of all, I'm still laughing at Augustus Gloop. I haven't heard that name in years. I haven't heard that name in years. But yeah, no,

it should be the standings. It's annoying. Maybe we should have hammered this more during August. So you guys can blame us if you're listening, but we probably should have been clear about this. But the issue with deciding this stuff midseason is there are standings now. And so people have incentives. Like when you're doing it in August and everyone thinks they're going to win,

they're like, oh, yeah, I want the money if I'm in first. But now you're in fifth and you're like, oh, no, there should be playoff bracket. And now everyone's, you can't separate where they are in the standings for what they want because humans are inherently selfish people. And we're really an abominable species. So we just, yeah, we had the points leader arguing that, He should be in first if this is tomorrow. Interesting argument.

Here's the thing. Here's my thing with that. He's right and wrong. Because if your league has been like, you know what, the points, if you have like more progressive, I hate to use the term progressive, but more advanced rules where it's like the points for is like your tiebreaker or points four is like the person the most points automatically gets a playoff spotty, blah, but whatever your rules are, maybe.

But if you just are like, yeah, you know, wins, whatever. And if you have the most points and go, you know, two wins, sucks to suck. Well, then your league rules don't incentivize points. So, like, your league rules suck. So our league incentivizes points, right? We do top four record, makes the playoffs in the next two. It's just highest score. I have a buddy Hunter. He's 0 and four. He's in dead last. He's second in points. So if this season ends, he gets just no money. Yes. I actually, it's insane that you brought that up because I actually lost in a league this week to someone named Hunter who was like, I bet you won't mention it on the podcast. And I was in my head, it was like, you know what? I'm not going to

mention it. And then you brought up someone else named Hunter. I feel like that was just like a divine intervention right there. Shouts out to the hunters. How are you doing guys? Oh my God. I guess we're the gatherers. That was bad. That was bad. That was funny. Let's get to this week. Okay. Okay. All right. Fine. All right. Jeez. That was just, all right. So we won a million dollars at least. So that's really good. So who won the week us and then after that. The gatherers lost the week. Okay. The top scores this week. This is obviously before. Tuesday night football. Right. Tuesday night football.

You know what else? You know how like Tuesday is, so that's TNF, but Thursday on calendars is like R because Thursday? So is Thursday night football now R and F? Or we have to do a different abbreviation for Tuesday and football? I don't know. You can just say it. Okay.

Anyway, I'm just the only one who's thought of that. Okay. Number one quarterback this week was Patrick Rahomes. Number two is Ryan Fitzpatrick. Number three is Kyler Murray. That's a hilarious. God. God bless Fitzpatrick.

Number one, running back this week was Mike Davis for the Panthers. Number two is Todd Gurley for the Falcons. Number three is Miles Sanders for the Eagles. Tough for me. Number one arrived receiver this week was Chase Claypool. Do you think he's why Fandel broke? I can't tell which of these three wide receivers is the craziest one to be on this list. Chase Claypool was number one for the Steelers.

Travis Folgham for the Eagles and then branded Cooks for the Texas was number three. What a weird week. What a weird Tide-in was pretty chock is weird man That's true Tight-in was Travis Kelsey Number one Mark Andrews is number two

And Darren Waller's number three That's chalk as hell Which I never understood the term chalk Because chalk is erasable But I don't want to get there And then defense was Ravens, Rams and Dolphins So With all that said

Those are the top scorers, DK though Who won the week for you? So I'm going with Kevin Culver Steelers GM Because once again he is proving that he is absolutely freaking elite at evaluating wide receiver talent.

What the hell or the Steelers do this? Every freaking year, Deontay Johnson is looking really good in the start of his career. You know, going back to, you know,

they found Antonio Brown in the sixth round. Martavis Bryant, Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Wallace. Who else am I missing, Craig? You're the Steelers fan. You're going to have to repeat that

because I'm looking up why people call things chalk and I've been reading that. And I found out why. Do you want to know why? Yes. When a horse is the favorite or has the most money bet on that horse,

it's termed chalk. In the pre-computer days, a horse became the chalk because the horse's name would disappear in chalk dust as the bookie constantly erased and lowered the horse's odds. Okay, that makes so much sense

because I remember when I was like a little kid, I would watch like Sports Center, the March Madness thing and be like, it's all chalk this year. And in my head I was like, but it's a whiteboard. And I never understood what they were doing at the segment.

So thank you for you. that question. Anyway, D.K., you named a bunch of Steelers, what receivers? His point is that Steelers' receivers in the draft are chalk. They just have a never-ending supply of awesome receivers, it seems like, and it looks like Chase Claypool is the next guy. I mean, you know, he went out there. He made, like, his first catch as a pro in week one was like this ridiculous twirling thing by the sideline where he got his toe, like a toe touchdown,

and it was just like, wow, this guy's good. You know, super, super athletic. And he had his break. out game, obviously, this week, four touchdowns, which is absurd. 11 targets, seven catches, 110 yards, three scores, three rushes, six yards, and another touchdown. 40-something points. It was like 42 points in FBR or PPR or PPR or whatever.

So just an absurdly awesome game, and he looks really good. Like, it didn't feel fluky. I think that's the difference between him and Fulgum is like Fulgum's one, you know, not taking anything away from him. He's been really impressive, but like, I could see Claypool. doing this. You can see it because you have been studying Chase Claypool for a long time.

I think Steelers fans obviously know Claypool is. People in Dynasty drafts people have been studying. But like, can you explain who Chase Claypool is because not everyone's been grinding tape like you are? Yeah. So he flew a little bit a little bit under the radar, I guess. He was

a fourth four-year guy from Notre Dame. And he was actually really impressive at the Senior Bowl. I watched him play there. live and came away thinking he looked really good. And there was a lot of talk before the draft that he was going to actually switch over to tight end because he weighed in at the combine at like 245 pounds or something like that.

Sick boy. So I think he's, and someone mentioned this on Twitter today, I forget who it was, but I think it's absolutely true. It looks to me like he's lost 20 pounds since the combine. Like he looks pretty slender now, like relative to what he was before. Everyone else in quarantine has gained 20 pounds. But I think that's good for him because, I mean, He was already explosive.

He did at like 240 plus pounds. He ran a 4-4, jumped 40 inches. So he was already just like really, really athletic, really fast. Why wasn't he picked earlier? It just was a, he was sort of like a one-year wonder in college. He didn't do a ton. Like showed up, he had a good season last year. But I think there's always a little bit of concern when it kind of like a late bloomer.

He's a Canadian. He comes actually, he's from like 30 miles away from where I live. I'm Abertsburgh, B.C., just over the border. And so, you know, I heard about him a little bit because of that. This guy averaged 45 points a game in basketball in high school. There must be a subconscious bias against Canadian football players. There has to be. I think it didn't help him when he was trying to get recruited.

It certainly didn't help him. So jumping to now, I have a serious question here about the four touchdowns. I have no idea what to make of this, because on one hand, I have a nitpick with all four about whether this is repeatable. And on the other hand, I understand that I'm, I sound very stupid to say four touchdowns is, it's like what is, as Craig pointed out at some point,

like you're punishing him for being good. But I'm saying, is this repeatable? Because one of the touchdowns was an end around that was just the Eagles were caught asleep. The other was just a great play call where it was like, the Steelers were in quads in formation. And they had a numbers advantage.

And I'm not going to say anyone could have done that, but I think any of the four receivers, if they got the ball, could have scored. And one of them was a blown coverage. Like, yeah, he put the Eagles linebacker on skates, but the Eagles have, if not the worst, lineback in court and football, one of the four worst.

So at some point, it's a pattern. And I understand that. But like, if you're going to pick up Chase Claypool, are you actually going to, like, put him in your lineup? Honestly, I think you have to. I mean, it all depends if Deont- Deonti Johnson is hurt, you do. If you look at the snaps this week,

Juju, James Washington, and Chase Claypool all played within four snaps. and Washington didn't do anything and Juju didn't really either. I mean, I feel like it's now becoming like the Cowboys where you don't know which one's going to go off today except that the Cowboys, it's literally always C.D. Lamb. But I think the Steelers are kind of in that realm now

where it used to be this kind of larger gap of separation between Juju and Deontay and then Chase and maybe James Washington. I kind of think that's out the window now. I don't think it's a fluke. I'll put it that way. I do think you're going to probably have some variance with this guy because right now he's the receiver three

I guess if you count Juju and Deonti ahead of them. It doesn't sound like Deonti had like a back injury of some sort. You just got hit in the back. It sounds like after the game, they said he wasn't going to be serious. But we'll have to see about that. But for now, I guess he's sort of. But that's the third injury of Deonti Johnson's season. Yeah, yeah.

He gets banged up a lot. I mean, he's a small. He's a thin guy. Yeah. So I would basically, I would lean towards him potentially like really building on this breakout. I don't, you're not going to expect him to do this every week, clearly. But I think the talent showed the speed, the body control, and like that play against the linebacker, I think is really indicative of what they can do with him

to get him schemed up into mismatches. I mean, he like, freaking toast to that guy in the middle of field. And all those things, I think, are parts of their offense that they can recreate. That stack thing, he's a big guy. You know, he's physical. And I think that's a big part, too, is he's their only receiver who's really, giant. And Hyavut, you talked about all of his touchdowns, but I mean, some of his non-touchdown plays were more impressive than the ones he caught in the end zone. That's where I think that's a

really good point. If you watch the whole game, I completely agree. The touchdowns were not as impressive as the other ones. I think that you're dead right on that. And I wrote this before this week. Like I wrote the, I wrote about the rookie receivers so far this year. I wrote like Claypool is good for one at like amazing play game. And it turns out if he gets more snaps, he's good for more than that. Evan Silva compared him to Vince Jackson said he was like a spinning image of Vincent Jackson. That is a really intriguing comp and I like that a lot. He had some good years in San Diego.

Jackson's the classic four-thage. What are you talking about? Yeah, but if it's a Jackson is like big Deshawn Jackson where it's just like like the 40 point weeks and then zero and then zero and then 30 and then zero and zero. If the Steelers drafted Chase Claypool and they said you get a guarantee he's Vincent Jackson or you take the risk, I think they'd just take it. Yeah, of course. All right. I'm talking about. I can't believe you're looking at that.

But anyway, okay, that's your winner of the week. All right, so Kevin Calvert, not Chase Claypool, fine. Well, Baltimore, but yeah. Yeah, okay. Craig, who won the week for you? It's anyone who plays against the Jaguars, and in this case, it's the Texans. I didn't want to just give it to the Texans because I was like, they play the Jaguars. And looking back, the Jaguars have given up 30 points to every team they've played this year.

And they haven't played like the most amazing teams. But this was a great bounce back Bill O'Brien game for the Texans. They obviously got their first win. DeShan had the highest scoring game. game of the year for him. Brandon Cooks had the highest scoring game of the year. David Johnson had the most rushing yards of the year. Will Fuller third straight game with a touchdown, and the Texans scored the most points they've scored this year. So all in all, I just think it's a great step forward for the Texans. I think, you know, Brandon Cooks is like one of those

guys that's just going to give people a heart attack all year, but I don't know what you do. You've got to add them back. You've got to put them on your roster. And they play the Titans, they play the Packers, the Jags again, and then the Browns in the next four weeks. I think the Texans are back, at least from a fantasy standpoint. There's a wild irony that Bill O'Brien traded for Brandon Cooks, and then the second Bill O'Brien's fired, Brandon Cooks looks the best he's looked in like two or three years. I thought that was pretty incredible. I also wrote down a status during the game, which is a, I mean, first off, Houston got a

first down on their first drive of the season first time all year. Like, Craig, you were joking, I mean, how Bill O'Brien's putting so much effort in his scripting his plays and then can't adjust. But even his scripted plays were awful. I mean, the Texans had a, I think it was like a 46-yard pass to Cooks to start off this game. Yeah. And that was the first time they moved the chains.

I couldn't, I couldn't believe that. I mean, I thought that was absolutely stunning. So higher on the Texans the rest of the season or just against the Jaguars play everybody. Rest of the season. I think this is good for everybody. This is just a vote of confidence for the entire team. Okay. Mazel tough.

My winner for this week is all the backups. Because you mentioned Chase Claypool. D.K. The other person that we had to mention Travis Fulgum, who we all 100% knew who he was two weeks ago, right? Everyone knew Travis Fulgum. Oh, Fulge? Yeah. Foggy? Yeah. I mean, I knew who it was. I'm not going to try and brag about it too much. I had him on a couple of Dynasty leagues last year and I'm kind of bummed. I dropped him. Wait, are you absurdly good at guessing people? What is Travis Fulgum's height and weight? You're really good at this? Uh, 6-2-215. Looking it up now. 6-2-216. Oh my God. How do you?

do that. That counts because no one guesses like weird numbers outside of five and ten. That's wild. D.K. Where do you go to school? D.K. I looked this up today. He went to Old Dominion. Oh, old dominion. I had, yeah. But the way height, weight thing, you're crazy good at that. Okay, anyway, the point is... D.K., what's my height

and weight? Go. I don't care. I'll let the whole world know. Six foot to 172. You're low on the weight. I'm 6-182. Yeah, I'm 6-2-182. I made you a little bit skinnier. I get it.

Well, you put on weight in quarantine, so you're fine. Yeah. I'm not too bad. I'm trying to get to 190, so we'll see how bulk season goes this winter. Yeah, it's a winter bulk season. Okay. Anyway, the point is, you're taking away credit from Travis Folgum here. The point is that I think we're given enough to Travis.

Well, he had 10 catches for 152 yards in a touchdown, and I had to point out that the Eagle's second rounder, who they took over DK Metcalfe going into this year. Going into this game, J.J.R. Siga, Witesat, or Thet, Whiteside had 10 catches for 169 yards. So basically 17 more yards than Fulgum had in this game. That was our Sega White Sides career entering tonight. So I thought that was amazing. Brutal. But Fulgum is more than 200 yards in his first two games, which is actually top 10 all time for any receiver in the first two games. Travis Fulgum, who's basically on this team because the Eagles top four, five of passing catchers got hurt. I thought that was amazing. Mike Davis for the

Panther. So that's one backup. The other one's Mike Davis or Carolina. Basically, since you added to him to your team, when waivers happened, Christian McAfrica got hurt, Mike Davis comes to the lineup, third running back in fantasy football. Number three, it's like Camara, Aaron Jones, Mike Davis, since you added him. I can't believe he's the number one running back this week. I think Mike Davis is on pace for like 145 targets. He's in nine catches again. Shout out to Tate Frazier, who this week said that Christian, McCaffrey was like the Kemba Walker of the Panthers. And watching Mike Davis play in

Christian in Christian McCaffrey's absence has made me feel that that's very apt. And the other backup I wanted to shout out is fucking J.R. Smith, who won an NBA title was not part of the Lakers, gets added to the bubble, does not play in the finals. And then it's the first one to touch the trophy and is chugging champagne and like on Instagram live and like, we did it. And it's like he didn't even play. And he's just, I wish I could, like, wow. Yeah, he's the guy who did the group project in high school who didn't show up to any

the meetings, but he's still got an A and he's like, yeah. So, yeah, I think the backups won the week. All right, let's get into Ring or Burnbook and, like, WaverWire and how to actually prioritize waiver ads this week. But first, we've got to tell you about our new favorite bet concept this season. We have been loving same game parley's on Fandallis sports book. It is extremely fun because, again, parley's same game, unbelievable. They're really simple.

All you have to do is you combine multiple bets from one game into a single parlay. And so the payouts are even bigger when you win. And what's really cool is that Fandau will refund the first same game parley you lose on any NFL game each week up to $10. Which means you can bet a different parlay risk-free every NFL week all season long. That is insane. So Monday night football, not the one that got canceled, the one that's still being played. Charger Saints. If you like Herbert rushing yards, Herbert passing yards, whatever you want.

want to do over. You can do all that kind of stuff. You can parlay all those different things, put it in the same one. So if you have a specific game script you like, I mean, DECA, how do you think the game's going to go with Chargers or Saints? Like, because you can parlay different parts of it. I think it's going to be the Justin Herbert show. The Justin Herbert show. All right. So maybe you take the over on, on Herbie touchdowns, Herbie yards, and maybe Chargers points. The over on how many photos they show of him when he was a kid and what Drew Breeze was doing with her, Justin Herbert was five years old when Drew Brees entered the NFL. Actually, it was not even five.

It was like three. Anyway, the point is that whatever your parlay is you want to do, you can just make them all same game, and you can go ahead and bet them. And with your first NFL same game parley of the week, you'll get $10 back if you don't win. There is one catch, which is that Fandle is the only sportsbook app

that has these same game parlays. And if you don't already have a Fandul account, just use the promo code, Ringer Fantasy, when you sign up so they know that we sent you.

So far, people we've burned, Adam Gase, which we've all burned Adam Gase, this is the Adam Gase burn book in a way. It's a no-brainer. Craig burned Daniel Jones. I burn Jack Doyle. Craig has also burned AJ Green. DK hasn't burned anyone. Wow. Well, D-Ks too nice.

D-Ks too kind. You're like the Lindsay Lohan. Like, you don't really, you're like a good person and we're kind of corrupting you. I'm going to do it. I'm just waiting for the right time to burn someone completely. So was Lindsay Lohan. Okay. Craig, who you're burning this week?

I have to do it. I have to burn Scotty Miller. This is like a co-one for me. I feel exactly the same way. You co-sign on this? Yeah. All right. I just want to give the little brief rundown of the tail of Scottie Miller

and how he has infected the psyche of fantasy managers this year. Okay, so week one, right? No one started him because he's Scotty Miller. He had 10 points, 73 yards. All right. I guess I'll start him. Tom Brady, maybe he's the new West Walker. Week two, he's got two points.

All right, I was wrong. That was a stupid week one. I'm not going to start him. Week three. 83 yards and nine points. Okay, that's kind of annoying. Week four, I would say maybe half the people started them because you're still on the fence of what's going to happen.

And Chris Godwin's in and out and in and out, and you're like, oh, well, who are they going to throw to? So you maybe start him half the time week four. He dropped 16 points with up a touchdown. You're like, all right, it's real. Two straight weeks. I'm finally going to start him week five. Week five, zero targets, zero points.

People named Tyler Johnson and Jaden Mickens had more points than him. I don't care what he does the rest of the season. I don't want to guess when he's going to do it. He's in the book. He's in the book. Jalen Mickens is the Chase Claypools, Travis Folgum of Thursday Night Football. Sure.

I didn't even follow any of that. Jay Don Mickens, first of all, but yes. Oh, it's not Jaden? Well, I'm not 100% sure how it's pronounced, but he said Jalen. Well, that's wrong. We know that. There's a D there. That's incorrect.

But, yeah, I'm disappointed that neither of you. It's week five, for Christ's sake. No one's in the burn book for you guys after this week. No one burned you? You know who was going to be there for me? it was going to be Michael Gallup Michael Gallup. Michael Gallup was once again

having a terrible game with DAC. And I'm like, I'm like, I don't want to start him anymore. And then he had a couple great garbage time catches. Well, no,

he didn't, garbage, he won the game for them. True. Okay, I shouldn't say garbage time. But it was, it was plays

that they wouldn't have called if it was a normal game script. And it's like, Gallup only scores when they're desperate. Michael Gallup this season has been a much better real life football player

than fantasy because if you're watching the Cowboys play, I mean, he almost won the Rams game for them in week one with the OPI that was called. If not, it's like Michael Gallup won the freaking game for them. This week, he had two huge catches back to back. Kind of like, like, like, the light D.K. Metcalfe in that just they kept going to him on that final drive and it kept working. On Romo said on the broadcast, he was like, all they had Michael Gallup do is just run go routes.

He just runs deep every single time. Yeah, he's an ISOX on the outside. Yeah. If I have to burn, I'm trying to think who I have to burn if you're going to make me burn someone. How come I don't get credit for Adam Gase? I've been like the hardest on Gase, I feel like. Well, I think, I mean, I feel like I have a hand on that. But yeah, sure.

I mean, sure. If you want to, like, have your name on Gase, that's fine. But I feel like we're all there. Yeah, but that's like, dunking on the six foot rim. And at a certain point, it's like, okay, we need to make a different shot here. Can I burn Christian McCaffrey? I feel like that's not the spirit. But I'm just, can I retroactively burn his last three seasons because Mike Davis could have done better?

And that he should be on all those ads for like the press conference where it's like, do you close too tight? And like Mike Davis should be in this. I'm telling you, all running backs are decent. Doesn't matter. I'm not actually going to burn Christian McCaffrey. I'm just saying, I'm just saying that I'm impressed with Mike Day. Alexander Madison tonight.

He basically was Delvin Cook. I mean, Mike Boone. Let's just get into the waiver. You and Mike Boone need a chill. All right, let's just get into waiver wire right now. A couple injuries that happened this week.

So, Dak Prescott, obviously we mentioned he's out for the season. Well, I mean, we're assuming, but he's out for the season. Baker Mayfield, he got his ribs x-rayed.

He says he, the extras are negative. He says he's fine. I'll probably play next week, but he didn't look super healthy. He looked like his arm was hurt. He was kind of wiggling his shirt. There's a lot going on there.

Keep monitoring. Again, this is Sunday night. Like monitor Baker throughout the week. Jimmy Garoppolo benched at halftime. Obviously, he had missed time at the ankle sprain. He came back. Kyle Shannon basically said he was not 100%. Yeah, he'll start, but keep an eye on Jimmy.

Deontad Johnson had a back injury. We talked about this. He had, I mean, he had, I think, a hamstring issue in August, concussion in September. Now he's got a back injury in October. It's not great. And then the biggest one is Dalvin Cook had a groin injury on Sunday night football against the Seahawks.

And he had 22 touches for 89 yards. Alex Madison, the Boise State running back, right, D.K., he had 233 touches for 136 yards. So Madsenaultz just looked better, but Dalvin Cook has played really well this season. So with all that, quarterback, obviously Andy Dalton, Adam, if you need quarterback, running back. Dekin, who do you want at running back this week? So he's rostered in 44% of league, so he might not be around in their league. but Chase Edmonds, if he is still out there for the Cardinals, I think he's definitely worth going to get out,

going to get this week. He had three rushes, 36 yards, and a touchdown, and then added another five catches 56 yards. He has looked, and we've talked about this a little bit, Danny. He's looked just more sprightly, I think, than Kenyon Drake, although Kenyon Drake did fine. Is that like spry, but sprightly? I only heard Alda Snow say it one time in your favorite movie.

forgetting Sarah Marshall. Aldous Snow. Russell Brand, you know that movie, Danny? I do. I don't remember that line. Sprightly? Yeah, it means like energetic. Okay, sorry. I'm sorry. You are looking sprightly. That's what he says to the really depressed guy. Anyway, I forget what's his, what's his name in that movie? Peter.

Peter. You don't do anything, Peter? Yeah. What's Paul Rudd's name in that movie? Koonoo. Kunu. Oh my God. Remember when he tries to give Jason Siegel a name and he goes,

P. P. Popee. Piope. I don't even remember who we're talking. Oh, Chase Edmonds is Sprightly. Yeah. So anyways, I think he's definitely worth the pickup. He's getting way more of the passing game usage, which obviously in PPR is valuable.

So, again, I think he's still worth going out and getting. And then, Danny, like you mentioned, Alexander Madison, 39% Yahoo Leagues. He's definitely worth adding to kind of see how this goes with Dalvin Cook. He did return to the game, didn't he, Dalvin? He did. So that's the thing is he had a groin injury. And basically, I don't think Dalvin Cook's going to be out for next week.

So even if Dalvin plays, though, he probably isn't going to get a full workload. So would you play Madison, if Dalvin's like questionable but going to play and you need a flex option because everything is hard now because of COVID and all these games getting postponed? And you're in one of those half the teams in your league who, oh, I kind of like need a flex. Would you be comfortable playing Alex Madison even if Dalvin Cook is going to play? Because Chase Edmunds, you can play even if Kenyon Drake's playing. Chase Edmonds might be the starter. Right. Alex Madison, it's depending on Dalvin Cook.

Let's say he only is limited all week in practice. I think I'd so would be willing to start Madison in a flex spot. But if he's, if, if Dalvin Cook has a full practice, probably not. Because Alex Madison was Sprightly, Sprightly. Sprightly. Well, both of them. I mean, they look good. He is, Alexander Madison is a guy who probably could be a starter on another team, but he's stuck behind Cook.

Yeah, Madison's really good. Okay. So who would you, who would you rather have? In this scenario. assuming Cook is not, I think we can assume Cook is not going to miss significant time. I'd rather have Edmonds because he has, like you said, standalone value as a guy

who's basically their past catching back. But I don't know. Madison is very dependent on if Cook can play. Let's get to receivers for a second. We mentioned Chase Claypool for Pittsburgh. We mentioned Philadelphia's Travis Folgum, who just unbelievable. I mean, this guy was waived twice in August

and now was putting up 200 yards in two games. Which of those receipts? Do you like more on there other other receivers you would add this week? So Craig and I talked about this little bit. We got like a rank here. The number one receiver ad is obviously Chase Claypool. Four touchdowns will do it. I would say my second biggest ad this week is Preston Williams from Miami.

This is a guy that we were pretty high on before the season. And he had a slow start really to the season. It was, you know, he's still working back from this ACL tear. He tore his ACL, I think on November 5th of last year. So that's still, he's still under a year removed from this ACL tear. And so he's still working back from it to get to full health, get to full speed, get to explosive, like the explosive that he used to have. So I think he's inching closer to what we saw early on in last season.

And we saw that today. Four catches, 106 yards and a touchdown against Niners. It looks like him and Fitzpatrick are developing some really good chemistry. He's kind of actually like a Michael Gallup style. He can run on those outside routes. He scored on a go route of a sideline. I think, yeah, he's just getting closer and closer to being out there. Actually, after the game, he said,

getting closer to that year mark with my knee, starting to get more comfortable, just getting my football feet back under me. So keep that in mind with his slow start that basically his knee is not 100%. Okay, so Chase Claypool first, and if you can't get him, Preston Williams, 2, and then who's three? We have Henry Ruggs, who had a great week against the Chiefs this week. He's been hurt.

He had kind of that one big play week one. People got excited and then he got hurt in a hamstring issue and I think a knee or an ankle or something. He's 48% rostered. He's tough because he's basically the opposite of what Derek Carr is. And it's like who's going to bend first, Derek Carr, Henry Ruggs. And it seems to be Derek Carr right now. He's actually been playing pretty well this year and his deep balls have been all right.

But Ruggs is just a big play guy super fast. And I will say, I do think this game is a little bit of Fool's Gold. he only had two catches for 180 yards and he only had three targets. And I think that's what he's going to be for the rest of the season. I think things will tick up a little bit. But that's why I think D.K. and I have him below Claypool and Preston, even though he had the most yards or whatever and he's like the most touted player. I just think he's going to be Deshaun Jacksonie and he's just going to lack consistency.

Deky, do you think the Raiders' offense is real like they beat the Chiefs today? Do you think that's legit? I think they are a good offense, actually. I think they have a very good offensive line, and that helps a lot. And they are growing together, you know, when Waller, like the Patriots did a really good job of taking Waller away, and they didn't really have an answer for that. But I think getting rugs back is going to be a really big thing for them. And then eventually they'll get Brian Edwards back.

He'll start to work his way into this offense. I think they're a good offense, and it starts with their offensive line, you know, Josh Jacobs and all that. But it really, to me, I'm just still a little bit leery. when you got Derek Carr at quarterback. I think it's just going to be some ups and downs. I think that's the bottom line. They obviously are hearing. They're seeing the tweets.

They're hearing what people are saying in terms of, and when I say they, I mean, John Gruden and Derek Carr, because they, after the game, they came out and basically said, like, this was funny.

Like, pro football focus guys are going to have to, they said something about pro football focus. They said that the pro football focus guys will be scratching their heads because PFS has been telling the Raiders to throw it deep and stop doing what, stop running and stop throwing short and so they threw it deep and they're like take that even though i mean that's been that's been

the book on derrick car for a long time so i don't know you know why they're seemingly offended by that but yeah it's it's i think that's you're going to have that variance with car at quarterback and you're going to have to deal with it but i do think rugs has a pretty high ceiling and if he starts getting more and more targets and getting more and more involved we saw the speed at like at work and i think he's also more than just a speed guy i mean we talked about this before the season he's actually not a deep threat, classically speaking. At Alabama, he was used more on, you know, catch and run stuff, yak, like making guys missing the open field. And I think they're going to continue to get him involved. So it wouldn't surprise me to see him have a explosion game down the

season where you're absolutely not going to be able to get him after that. So this is like a stash type player. Okay. So Chase Claypool first, Preston Williams, second, Henry works third. What about and no love for my guy, Travis Volgum? He's fourth. You know what? If you're need a guy to plug in this week, this come next coming week, like, Folgum was fine. I think he's actually a pretty good option just because they're still so banged up. But eventually you're going to get Rager back. Eventually you're going to get Goddard back. And they're going to get more healthy. And that might mean a lot less play for Folgum. So he, to me, his shelf life is just small, like shorter. One more for Deeper League. Who's a fifth receiver you dad this week? Jeff Smith of the

Jets, who came out of nowhere two weeks ago to have a seven catch, 80, one yard game this next week. Who's Jeff Smith? You don't know Jet Smith on the New York Jeffs? I think I know three Jeff Smith. None of them are the guy in the Jets. I don't, I actually admit. One was my history teacher,

my barista. You don't know your bristice's last name. Nobody knows the barista's last name. I don't even drink coffee. This is a podcast. We just say whatever we want. We've never mentioned this. Is it now that we're doing a Sunday night podcast

and you're going to have to do this like super late? Is now the time for you to explain that you think people who drink coffee are weak? naturally unmotivated people that's a lot of bit though like you actually don't drink coffee I don't drink coffee I don't think people are naturally motivated who drink it I just die

I just don't drink it but you do a little bit think people are naturally motivated oh that's a little bit believe in the take yeah sure screw it anyway can we be done with Jeff Smith oh yeah fine Jeff Smith is over okay Chase Claypool Preston Williams

Henry Ruggs Travis Logan Jeff Smith those are receivers I gotta add one thing about Smith he had 11 targets three catches and 23 yards this week. So the only reason he's on those list is because he's gotten 20 targets in the last two weeks. The Jets are terrible. I'm going to go the other way.

If you need a defense this week, so the NFL just completely changed the calendar. I mean, I don't even know how to explain other than I literally. It's a lot. Basically, just to give you an idea of how thoroughly the NFL changed the calendar to accommodate the Broncos Patriots game, I believe the reasoning is simple that the Broncos practiced for the Patriots and got screwed. and so the Broncos are like, well, we're playing the Patriots because otherwise we're pissed. So just to give you an idea of how much changed in the schedule, the Dolphins' Week 10 game was moved to week 6. The week 6 game was moved to week 11.

The week 11 game was moved to week 7, which was their buy, and then the week 7 game has moved to week 10. That happened for like four different teams. So the actual schedule has, if you thought you knew your buys and stuff, is completely different. But all that's to say with Jeff Smith, the dolphins are now playing the Jets. this week coming in week six. The Dolphins were a top two defense this week against the Niners. And if you really need a stream of defense because like some stuff got changed around, you could do a lot worse than the dolphins against the Jets this week.

Brian Flores is a good defensive coach. They have good talent on that side of the ball, at least in the secondary. And Joe Flacco, maybe he'll play. If not Sam Darnold is not 100% light, you could do a lot worse than the Dolphins against the Jets if you need defense. That's my defense for the week. That you'll forget to start on Fandall.

Don't get me. Look, man. All right. You know what? I can't wait to slot him in. We won the million dollars. I don't know what you're complaining about. Okay.

Any other ads? Tide ends, D.K., any tight ends you'd add? Not really. I think one guy that had kind of on your radar is Trey Bird from the Colts. Craig, I almost put Mo Alley Cox on the Burnbook. I'm not quite ready to get rid of him. But I believe he had no catches today.

So that was super frustrating. Yeah, everyone's take on like what Colts tight end is going to be the guy is just slowly moving down the list. It was Doyle. That didn't happen. It was Mo Cox. That didn't happen. Now, I guess Trey Burton's the guy.

He had five catches this week. I think he led tight ends and catches in yards last week. I'm just Homer Simpson sliding into the bush in that meme. Mo Cox and Doyle this week had collectively three targets and zero catches. Ah, damn it. So the one thing I will say about Trey Burton is he got a ton of hype in training camp. I know training camp was really bizarre and short and weird this year, but there was whispers coming out of Colts camp

that he was like the star of training camp so that's one thing I will say I'm not necessarily going to go out and run out and get him and stick him into my lineup but he is someone to keep in mind all right Burton Buzz

and then since we just went through the waivers it's time to talk about people you can drop because it's just time it's just it's just there do you guys that jump out as you used dude you can cut I didn't make this list Danny you did but since I had...

I made this list, but it's... Craig made this list. Since I was the one who brought up... And I mispronounced his name last time when we had someone tell us how to do it. I'm going to try and remember what he said. I think it was Olomede Zakias or Zikaas. I think it was Zakias.

Zakeas. Okay. Alameda Sekees of the Falcons who I... You guys basically goaded me into predicting would have more points in Calvin Ridley. He had one catch. And that was with Julio Jones out. So at this point in redraft particularly, you don't need to hang on, I don't think at this point.

Their offense, too, has just been, it hasn't looked good the last couple of weeks. It's really out of sorts. Maybe this coaching change will, like, help things go in a different direction. Yeah, maybe not. But more interesting person I wanted to hit Curtis Samuel, someone that we thought could have some upset in Spanthor's offense. Turns out Robbie Anderson is the guy with the upside. Can you just cut Curtis Samuel?

I think he's sitting there wasting a spot on your bench, probably. Jerich McKinnon Cup Bate, Raheem Ostert's back Yeah, McKinnon had like one touch today I think it's close If you're thinking about If you're excited about a guy to add in waivers

I think it's fine to cut McKin With the second Tevin Coleman gets back It's going to get even murkier It's crazy how much better Mostert looks than all the other running backs on that roster It's really true. Mostert looks impressive He looks really good He came out and this was

You know he practiced limited all week he wasn't necessarily full go all week. He came out, and he just looks like he shot out at Canon compared to these other guys. He's just so fast. The last guy I wanted to recommend, or at least have a conversation about dropping, is J.K. Dobbins.

I saw this crazy stat today. Mark Ingram's 11 carries today for the Ravens was the most by any Ravens running back this season. 11 carries? They split the ball up like crazy. And this week, it was Mark Ingram. Gus Edwards is officially a part of this tree. trio, and then J.K. Dobbins played the least amount of snaps out of those three. He had one carry.

One freaking carry. Ian Hartett's on Twitter said he's basically just Justin Hill, or Justice Hill from last year. So I know that because he's a rookie, we all kind of assume that he's got this tantalizing upside. But if you got, I mean... Well, I hate rookies, but... Would you drop J.K. Dobbins for Chase Edmins or Alexander Madison? I wouldn't, but I'm stubborn. That was the most honest thing I've ever. heard of my life. He's one of those guys that I was just so excited about before the year.

And you're letting that bias absolutely dictate your decisions. But if you're being, but that, hey, transparency is the new objectivity. So there you go. The reason I'm hanging on to him and this is, you know, this doesn't necessarily mean anything because coaches never, you can't assume like logical coaching decisions. But every time he freaking touches the ball, he looks amazing. Like he has, he has that one big play at least. per game. I think his carrier, or maybe it was one of his catches today, he broke like three

tackles and tiptoed along the sideline and stayed up. It's like, I don't understand why they don't give them the ball more. I had somebody say this to me like a week or two back and it kind of blew my mind and also made me really depressed. And he was like, the Ravens coaches, Harbaugh in particular, just have a weird thing with their running backs. Like, do you remember Buck Johnson? Yeah. And how much they'd use him and stuff? Buck Allen, right? Sorry, yeah, not Chivorius Allen, wasn't that his name?

Buck Allen, yeah. And that made me worried. I'm like, crap. Like, they're probably just going to continue this all year. But I'm hanging on. I'm never going to drop JK. Never. Well, JK, you should probably drop J.K.

Just kidding. Okay. I think that's all we got. I have one more question, though. Because I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my share of the million dollars that we won. and I'm wondering, do you guys actually know how to buy a Bugatti? Because it's harder than I thought.

There's no dealerships. What? There's no Bugatti dealership? How do you actually buy a Bugatti? I don't, because I'm trying to figure this out. It's harder than I thought. I'm going to Google the poorest thing. I'm going to Google how to buy a Bugatti.

It's harder than I thought. Because I've just been Googling all the stuff. I'm like, what am I going to do with my money? And I'm like, oh, I just thought I could be easy. What kind of dickheads are we Googling? how to launder money. It says the average Bugatti cost $1.7 to $3 million. So I don't, sorry to tell you.

I don't think you could buy a Bugatti. So I'm just getting like a Mercedes? You could lease one. I could lease a Bugatti. Oh my God. Have you guys seen, D.K., I don't know if you're a TikToker, but there's this guy. I know, I know.

D.K. is not a TikToker. I can answer that. There's this guy, this kid who goes around L.A., and he just stops people in like really nice cars and just says like, hey, what do you do for a living? Like while they're just like at a red light, he just goes, hey, what do you do for a living? And they're like, you know, I'm in investment banking. Yeah.

And I'd love for 10 years from now, Hifitz is in his Bugatti. And some guy knocks on his window and he goes, hey, what do you do for a living? He goes, I play daily fantasy. Same game parley's on Fandul, baby. You ever heard of Olamide, Zakias? Won me this car. It's Olamadee dee. Olamadee de Sakeas?

Considering Hyfitz is thinking about buying a Bugatti right now, he's not going to have this money 10 years from now. That's true. Who knows we're hiding? A couple months. Hopefully watching movies. Yeah, I'll still not see Wedding Crashers. Okay. All right. I think that's all we got.

I mean, I hope so. I mean, I imagine Craig cut that entire conversation. But if not, then I hope you enjoyed. Nope. Thank you, Craig. Thank you, D.K. Thank you. In advance, the fendil for the million dollars. That was really kind. And you know what? Just congratulations to G.R. Smith, because you're the man.

Congrats, J.R. You did it, bud. All right. Thank you. We'll see you guys on Wednesday. day.
