Blake Corum

NegativeRole20:16

Blake Corum is considered a startable piece, but his fantasy value is strictly contingent on Kyren Williams missing time; he is not a top-10 running back in the current NFL landscape.

Insight page
PositiveValue32:25

The source suggests trading for Blake Corum if you are desperate for running back depth, as he is a startable piece who would be a major asset if Kyren Williams were to miss time.

Insight page

Bo Nix

NegativeValue30:29

Bo Nix is considered a safe quarterback play for the current week, though Kyler Murray is preferred for future matchups like the Week 4 game against Miami.

Insight page

Cade Otton

NegativeProjection28:33

The source expresses concern about Cade Otton due to the Buccaneers' offense facing a high-blitz defense and the overall poor performance of Baker Mayfield. Otton's target share is not high enough to justify starting him over better options.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveBreakout36:54

Chase Brown is a high-priority target who averaged over 100 rushing yards per game against the Steelers last year; his 'RB1 season' remains a possibility.

Insight page

Chris Brooks

NegativeValue28:48

Chris Brooks is a player to drop in favor of higher-upside options like Ty Chandler or Terrence Ferguson, as he lacks significant fantasy utility.

Insight page

Dalton Schultz

NegativeValue7:01

The source suggests trading Dalton Schultz at peak value because his recent production was boosted by missing wide receivers. There is concern that once Nico Collins returns, Schultz's role will fade into non-existence.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeValue42:16

The source suggests trading David Montgomery after this weekend if he has a 'smash week' against the Colts, as his value could peak. If a trade is currently available, the source advises taking it now, but otherwise waiting for a potential high-scoring performance to sell high.

Insight page
NegativeUsage43:12

The source notes that David Montgomery was essentially invisible in the second half of his recent game despite the Lions not being blown out. Furthermore, he has not been efficient, recording 20 carries for only 60 yards in his three-touchdown game, and the Lions' offensive line run-blocking remains a question mark.

Insight page

De'Von Achane

PositiveUsage52:48

Despite concerns about his usage and potential for breaking down, the source views De'Von Achane as a high-end asset similar to Alvin Kamara. His elite pass-catching ability cements his long-term NFL future, and he remains a strong fantasy producer even in a struggling offense.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

PositiveUsage6:56

The source notes that Denzel Boston is a big-play option who is receiving targets, giving him a high ceiling and a decent floor in full PPR formats.

Insight page

DeVonta Smith

PositiveValue35:45

Devonta Smith is viewed as a top-five receiver for the week and a 'smash' play; trading him now is discouraged as his value will likely increase after this week.

Insight page

Emanuel Wilson

PositiveUsage24:59

Emmanuel Wilson saw significant red zone usage and remains a viable touchdown-vulture candidate even if MarShawn Lloyd is active.

Insight page

Emmett Johnson

PositiveSleeper17:34

The source identifies Emmett Johnson as a 'FAB buster' and a high-end handcuff. If Kenneth Walker III misses time, Johnson would be an immediate smash start.

Insight page

George Kittle

PositiveProjection35:38

George Kittle is the preferred start over Juwan Johnson in full PPR formats.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

NegativeUsage26:42

Hunter Henry is a safe floor play who led the Patriots in target share last week; he is a viable flex option given his high snap rate.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection56:48

The source identifies Jahmyr Gibbs as one of the best players in fantasy football, noting that he is a target for managers looking to upgrade their running back position, though acquiring him will likely require a significant overpay.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

PositiveProjection28:33

The source ranks Jalen Coker higher than Chris Godwin and others, noting he has been 'cooking' with Bryce Young and is a preferred start over Cade Otton in certain formats.

Insight page

Justin Herbert

PositiveProjection46:10

The source strongly advises against trading Justin Herbert right now, noting that he is a 'first-round type of guy' in superflex formats. Despite recent struggles, he is expected to have better fantasy games, especially in a matchup against the Bills where the Chargers will likely be forced to throw to keep pace.

Insight page

Kyler Murray

PositiveValue31:16

Kyler Murray is a priority add over Bo Nix and Matthew Stafford due to a favorable matchup against Tampa Bay and a high-upside Week 4 game against Miami.

Insight page

Ladd McConkey

PositiveUsage16:50

Ladd McConkey is considered a good play for the upcoming week if he is practicing in full, as the Bills have struggled against slot receivers.

Insight page

Parker Washington

NegativeUsage23:16

Despite the threat of Christian Gonzalez shadowing him, the source remains confident in Parker Washington. He is a good separator who is moved around the formation, which should help him avoid being completely shut down.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

NegativeBust13:42

The source advises dropping Quentin Johnston, labeling him a 'trojan horse' who will disappoint if started. He is not the primary wide receiver for the Chargers, and the offense is not flowing through him.

Insight page
PositiveProjection25:06

Quentin Johnston is recommended as a flex option despite his boom-or-bust nature, as the Chargers offense needs a spark and he remains a primary target.

Insight page

Sam Darnold

NegativeValue49:06

The source expresses skepticism about trading for Sam Darnold, noting he is older (29) and currently dealing with an injury, which makes him a risky asset to acquire in a trade involving a high-value player like Justin Herbert.

Insight page

Tank Bigsby

PositiveSleeper18:33

The source recommends adding Tank Bigsby as a high-end handcuff, noting that Saquon Barkley is an older running back who recently sustained an injury.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

PositiveValue7:01

The source views Terence Ferguson as having significantly more long-term upside than Dalton Schultz, though both tight ends benefited from missing wide receivers in their respective offenses.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

PositiveValue36:48

It is a bad time to trade Travis Etienne due to his current low value, but if moving him, he should be packaged with another player to acquire a target like Chase Brown.

3:00perfect for a football fan don't give me to wedding season but erickson's very popular he's fun to be i was not
3:06i was not at the uh the taylor swift travis kelsey oh well next time next there'll be another one you know
3:13that all right uh let's get into the show people are screaming but you know what this is the one show where
3:19we get to do this yeah you you don't control us this is a straight podcast this is us this is our
3:25show one of the longer standing duo shows that doesn't really ever waver and glad to have you guys here and glad
3:32to have the audience here and we have got a bunch of questions so we told the audience as always don't expect
3:38any thursday night questions if there is you're going to hear a buzzer and a person immediately kicked out and we'll answer
3:44the question after let's get to it because we got a whole bunch of it love to see you guys in here
3:51and cornwallis did i do this last week cornwallis you're on a streak man what's up hey what's up guys i just
3:57want to say you both look fantastic today i love the outfits thank you yeah so it's actually a rainy arizona day
4:03so i'm hooded up i was i mean i told erickson i was woken up to 120 decibel lightning thunder next to
4:10my window so i was like oh it's wake up time so thank you very much appreciate you yeah no problem so
4:16uh questions flex question ppr uh looking at jonah coleman gravy on henderson or denzel boston and then my second question is
4:22i have dalton schultz and terence ferguson i'm not really sure what to do with them at this point feels like i
4:29should sell one at peak value because they both smashed but i'm not sure maybe i just keep them and put the
4:35matchups real quick on the first one was that full ppr or half it was full ppr and i am a heavy
4:41favorite if that matters okay you know it totally matters on the second one i absolutely would trade either for the highest
4:47package if the package uh is solid you know i'm saying like i'd put them out hey anybody looking for a good
4:54tight end and if someone wants to sell or buy high on either one i'm not specific to you i mean i
5:00would probably prefer i guess they're both very tied to the wide receivers there's a little part of me that says schultz
5:06is the one like when nico comes back he just fades into non-existence but i would trade either one for a nice
5:13uh deal and i wouldn't care like that i'm trading the other one you know i'm saying where are you at on
5:19that i agree i think that when you're torn about who should i trade i think the answer should be what can
5:25i get the best four back in return and that should kind of be your focus when it comes to who do
5:32i get rid of because both guys are good options to have on your team but to your point they definitely saw
5:38boosts in production because of the wide receivers that were missing from their respective offenses obviously i think that ferguson has way
5:44more long-term upside but schultz is not a nothing burger he's not gonna get to play the bangles every single week and
5:51be on a team that throws the ball 55 times so that's something you have to keep in context i think you'll
5:57probably get more for schultz i would say but people really like terrence ferguson too so maybe i'm wrong here so i
6:03think yeah you gotta send some feelers out find whoever has is starting colson loveland like that's the manager you got to
6:10make this trade for because they know that hey i need tight end production now because even this week loveland's probably not
6:16gonna get the bears passing game is probably not gonna be the reason why the bears are effective on offense against the
6:22eagles because their secondary is really really good so yeah i would send some feelers out the first question was henderson it's
6:29essentially boston and henderson coleman's a nothing burger it's it's travian henderson or denzel boston full ppr and he's already a heavy
6:35favorite then i would just probably which one you you cut out what was last one henderson henderson that's probably who i
6:41would play well when the nothing burger i mean what if coleman's the only guy what if he plays and dobbins and
6:48harvey are out there's only one that didn't practice so i'm i think he's on thursday no well wednesday wednesday he didn't
6:54the others were limited and he didn't practice so i think you're in a situation where he's either not gonna play or
7:00if he is you he's still behind dobbins but even if unless he was the only back active there's no other scenario
7:06where i still like him more than the others i actually lean denzel boston boston's getting targets he's a big play option
7:13but it's one of those two and if you're a heavy favorite you can play it out however you want i mean
7:19the run game is more stout with the jags so i'd like to see travion get involved in the pass game a
7:25little bit more so that's why to me like i think boston's got the ceiling and maybe even a little bit of
7:32the floor but you know running backs and volume and stuff i think you're cool with either one yeah i mean henderson
7:38did get what 16 carries last week stevenson fumbled and he can also rip off a big play i i henderson like
7:44i mean it just like patriots offense browns offense i get it's the panthers but i think that the browns can do
7:51ground and pound this week where they can run the football effectively which they haven't been able to do the last couple
7:57weeks so i like henderson i hope so not or at least that they only can do it to set up the
8:03play action because i talked about me on the tailgate go check out the tailgate by the way youtube tailgate nfl we're
8:10talking real football intertwined a little fantasy it's a bunch of fun and we just did our predictions for the week all
8:16right jorge not the righty but the lefty jorge what's up dude come on down and tell us what you got so
8:22i i benefited from getting qjf waivers last year and it was wonderful for those few weeks um got him on a
8:29few teams this year at what point do you just figure just cut your losses and and go elsewhere is it better
8:35to pick up you know a handcuff rb for him or is it at this point just i kind of wait and
8:41see because he might have some potential upside once they figured out this offense can you give us an example of what
8:48might be available because that would determine i mean say it's like a tank bigsby i'm blanking on a canine's uh handcuff
8:54like he's available as well like it's just going to be kind of a lotto ticket but do you think those are
9:00worth picking up over qj wait and see you know they're still gonna be on my bench but i'm just thinking like
9:06long-term value here yeah it's a good question all i could think of by the way when that horn i i'm i'm
9:13stupid brain tim robinson and i think you should leave and it's like hey did you move your car not everybody knows
9:19how to do everything you don't know how to drive no that's all i could think four people would love that reference
9:25nobody else that was the horn sound to me would you drop quentin johnson for emmett johnson johnston for johnson yeah if
9:32you don't need the wide receiver depth because that's really the only thing johnson would be doing for you you have to
9:38remember that johnson has to have at least one good game before you even consider starting him and then you also have
9:44to make a bet can he have two good games in a row right because if he has a good game on
9:51your bench then you'll be tempted to start him the next week but then if he bombs again it's going to be
9:57pulling your hair out of okay what is this office going to look like i think that even though the chargers office
10:03has been underwhelming i think it's still clear that he's not the number one wide receiver on the team like it's lad
10:10and it's just a matter of if healthy lad is out there lad's lad is actually kind of like a good play
10:16this week if he's been practicing in full like the bills have been like eaten up by slot receivers so that is
10:22the one way the chargers can stand a chance again it depends on how much time herbert's gonna have to throw because
10:29this offensive line is already in shambles slater is banged up already he's been limited this week joe alt has not been
10:35playing well so yeah i don't think the offense is going through qj and that was part of okay we'll take a
10:41shot in him in draft season see if he can be the number one receiver and that's not the case even if
10:48this offense was playing well he's not the number one guy so if you'd rather have that bench spot be a high-end
10:54handcuff i mean look emma johnson man i don't know if ken walker can handle 30 touches per game for the rest
11:00of the season i think the chiefs probably know he can't and that's why they're talking about emma johnson but emma johnson
11:07would be such a smash if ken walker even misses one or two weeks and i think that's honestly way worthier especially
11:13and tank bigsby too because saquon barkley is you know he got hurt last week he's an older running back so i
11:19think i think those two running backs in particular i would rather have and i think it was really critical to the
11:25answer you gave i just don't play a ton of the game like i totally understand like ken walker hasn't had more
11:32than what 225 touches and dah dah dah carries and then you look at it and you're just like he's on pace
11:38for 450 you know bogman's stance is he won't relent that he's going to get hurt so if you do want to
11:44take that like erickson said it emma johnson's going to be absolutely insane it is a fab buster if ken walker were
11:51to go down he is a fab buster you would drop every penny on it so pick him up and have especially
11:57if you're not going to play quentin johnson what's going to happen quentin johnson is a trojan horse at this point yeah
12:03there's he's like marvin harrison what's going to happen you're going to put him on your bench then he's going to go
12:10off and you're going to be like oh bet and then you're going to put him in your lineup and then he's
12:16going to stink it up and it's just like those guys suck so i would not want that on my roster now
12:22anymore because i agree i'm off the lad thing or i'm off the quentin johnson thing and maybe it'll work itself out
12:29and we'll have a slight regret but i would have a regret if i wasn't getting a guy like emma johnson if
12:35i was uh uh yeah emma johnson if i was picking up you know i'm not to pick up brandon cooks you
12:41know what i'm you know what i'm just getting at like just some guy that's just going to give you like some
12:48weak value like that's where i would yeah and same logic someone just said like jameson williams it's kind of the same
12:54but jameson williams has better upside i also think he can smash this week but it's a higher version of that uh
13:00that was a fun question bucks man what's up i got two quick questions uh first one i'm in a 10 man
13:07standard league and i have uh i have aj brown and jay flowers as my receiver so i need to choose two
13:13between t-mac jalen coker chris godwin roma dunze or i do not mitchell oh dude that's so tough because the top two
13:19are the panthers guys i think because i was gonna say coker i don't know if you can start but erickson would
13:26you start both of the panthers or would you want to have like uh you would okay yeah erickson's saying both yeah
13:32let's start both panthers guys yeah it's i mean it's it's a good it's good match worked for two weeks in a
13:38row yeah it has i think coker's the one i i kind of like coker even a little bit more than ted
13:44a row but you just don't have like another guy that's like oh let's clearly do that so uh what's a question
13:51number two question number two another league i have parker washington i was wondering is christian gonzalez going to travel with parker
13:57washington or is he going to guard one or the other does he guard like one side of the field oh that's
14:03a great it's a great great question that erickson and i had been we've actually talked about it only on the tailgate
14:10this week on the real nfl talk but that has dominated and i've asked you this question and you just kind of
14:16answered it on that show but bring it over here because i literally asked you erickson i said do you believe christian
14:22watson is going to shadow parker washington and you had some you had good responses he is probably going to shadow parker
14:29washington for the majority of the game you don't pay christian gonzalez the amount of money the patriots did and then not
14:35put him on the opposing number one wide receiver who is clearly parker washington it's really just a waste right oh yeah
14:41go take away brian thomas jr right you don't need christian gonzalez to do like we've seen this with offenses before so
14:48now it's not enough where shadowing and shutting down are two different things that's the thing i also want to be clear
14:54about where yeah gonzalez can win his fair share of reps but parker washington is going to win his fair share of
15:00reps too last week against pittsburgh steelers metcalf didn't do anything against gonzalez but germie bernard had some nice plays against christian
15:07gonzalez a rookie wide receiver so gonzalez is not going to win every matchup parker washington is going to get more enough
15:13opportunities to rip off big plays he's also twitched up af so that's tougher even a cornerback like christian gonzalez to handle
15:19versus a player like a dk metcalf where it's a big bodied guy those guys are much easier to get your hands
15:26on and manipulate how they maneuver into their routes so liam cohen also is a smart enough officer coordinator play caller to
15:32move parker washington around get him off of christian gonzalez so you're not worried about it maybe it's not the three touchdown
15:38150 yard game for parker washington but he's still going to be productive you're still starting him yeah that is my point
15:45right there is i thought you know i should go and look at it because i think i mentioned like it was
15:51like after week one or yeah it must have been after week one like uh becca buka had like the most motion
15:57pre-snap parker washington they motion a decent and they move them all around if you want because i've had parker washington props
16:03the last two weeks i'm smashed him in the first half and so i've really been like hyper focused and you want
16:10they just place him all around the field they move him around i think erickson nailed it like that is what they're
16:16going to do is gonzalez going to be on him a decent amount yeah probably but parker washington does a really good
16:22job in short stints of finding separation he's a pretty good separator and they're going to move him around so i just
16:29don't know you know are we in at some point for a game where he's less than sure is this the one
16:35you could write it up as that but i just want to bet against him he's gotten to the point he deserves
16:41as erickson says goat status he deserves the benefit of the doubt that we don't take him out because of christian gonzalez
16:48and he moves around the offense which might get him off a little bit you like to see btj out there just
16:54for you know uh uh spread in the field a little bit and he might take some of that coverage as well
17:00great question bucks man i'm glad we talked about it here the great and powerful og chinser chinser been here uh since
17:07the beginning hollow knight himself what up what up two questions one would you do for my last wide receiver spot coker
17:13over eg bucca with how bad baker looks damn you for that i have half ppr yes half ppr uh me personally
17:19no i'm i'm egg bucca getting back this week but i would not fault you whatsoever because i like coker i think
17:26i've got them like super close i'm actually going to pull this up i think that's what erickson's doing uh to give
17:32the answer but erick so what what is your initial take if you haven't looked at your ranks yet when asked that
17:38question eileen egg bucca yeah i've got them ranked pretty close egg bucca 22 jalen coker 24 i haven't really dove super
17:45deep into what i'm projecting from this buccaneers offense this week against the brian flores madman 80 percent blitz rate defense spooky
17:51is is that a scenario where is that booker gonna be a lot of the first read stuff or is it going
17:57to be godwin and the running backs because the blitz is going to be coming so quickly a booker has been getting
18:04a lot of air yards but like that doesn't mean anything against the vikings defense whereas obviously coker has just been cooking
18:10with bryce young i book a score last week so i kind of bailed you out but he also didn't have a
18:16high target share in the offense relative to the other position so i think i'm actually going to go with coker are
18:22we in the circle of trust here guys yes i'm a fat liar i just looked at my ranks i'm coker i
18:29got coker multiple spots higher so yeah i'm gonna toss that up i i'm not a i'm not a subject of my
18:35ranks but i i've got a hand up here and yeah i have coker i mean i think the thing with egg
18:41bucca i think we need to maybe carry a little bit over of his second half performance from last year i know
18:48that baker was banged up but now we're just getting bad baker overall and when baker was bad egg bucca was bad
18:54last year three catches for 16 yards last week five targets that's not a lot of volume against the browns and he
19:00scored the touchdown so that made you feel good about it but besides that i mean why receiver 33 why receiver 32
19:07what's changing and this matchup really isn't good so slot receivers against the browns you can do it yeah i think i
19:13think coke you stay in the flames man when in doubt stay in the flames sure well what was number two number
19:19two is in this league it's a 14 teamer so running backs are thin and i am in a bad position tootin's
19:26my rb1 i have jordan mason and i have uh jonathan brooks so i do not have an rb2 so it's looking
19:32like braylon allen right now sounds i have i don't have four decent wide receivers amin ra egg bucca christian watson coker
19:38but it is almost impossible to trade for a running back in this league like i've been thinking about maybe like quorum
19:45seems tradable because he's not like locked and loaded starter but i i kind of want to keep coker you can't trade
19:51right for quorum i don't like that for quorum feels insane you can't trade coker for quorum would you trade coker for
19:57quorum yes if this was my running back situation hell yeah would you do would you be more willing to trade him
20:04or ibuka rather trade okra yeah okay but i don't like it try to see if you can get a little bit
20:10more i mean he's gonna get mason back at some point i also think that it's worth taking a swing remember quorum
20:16also has so quorum is a like a startable piece right now yeah what if karen goes down and quorum stop i
20:23running back like yeah sure full set yeah no i mean he's a top 10 running back in the nfl sure but
20:29that's not happening and i mean your situation's really bad that's a really really tough one because you're like okay i have
20:35a similar ish situation that i'm dealing with this week i swear to god i think tootin might be my number one
20:41too and this isn't the best and you don't want to take too many l's down the road but i'm looking at
20:48like picking up like a damon claiborne and kind of going yolo like i don't know if he's floating out there just
20:54because you know aaron jones is banged up might not play i would keep that in my back pocket even picking up
21:00guys like you know chris brooks in one of my deeper leagues is out there just trying to find a couple of
21:07those guys that i can make a you know a decision come sunday that you know if aaron jones is out uh
21:13they are at least hopefully they tell us and i can put in a claiborne then i got before trading down you
21:19know erickson thanks coker for quorum and that situation works i feel a little bit dicier about it maybe you can get
21:26better but if not i would also go explore some of those if and maybe they're not available because it's a deeper
21:32league but that that's kind of like how i'm trying to approach it in those leagues i'm i might be able to
21:38get judkins in a few weeks um which is gross if you can get him now this is our smash week for
21:45judkins me and erickson he he wants to wait because he has judarian price and he wants to see him get healthy
21:51again before he can give him up so that guy stinks all right well then you're not going to get him because
21:57he's going to smash right this week but all right well you know here's a not planned plug but chins if you
22:04have your league synced up it will look at all the rosters and you can find trade scenarios it can build trade
22:10scenarios for you if you have uh with fantasy pros in my playbook so maybe sink your league and you can explore

24:29deals and details toyota let's go places hello week three and i feel like i'm already kind of digging through the trash
24:35here for my flex it's full ppr i grabbed emmanuel wilson off waivers but it's starting to sound like price is probably
24:42going to play my other options are uh quinn johnson booty or i could play a tight end like gadsen or or
24:48hunter henry are kind of my my main options right now all right yeah yeah we're all kind of playing that can
24:54you what do you think about that i i kind of want to like emmanuel wilson but in that situation we got
25:00we just garbaged on quentin johnston but he kind of sounded like maybe the best option you've been a little team pro
25:07booty especially if nico's out what direction would you go on flex for that one i think to me that's plug my
25:13nose and put quentin johnson out there hoping that things are fixed based on those options but maybe you feel a little
25:19bit more confident i mean emmanuel wilson was used in the the red zone a decent amount even if price is there
25:26that probably still happens so maybe you could vulture a touchdown out of wilson even if it's less touches what direction would
25:32you go i feel like i can't answer this question until i know more about the because a lot of this is
25:38contingent based on a lot of these injuries right like we can't tell you about booty unless nico is not going to
25:45play we don't again price may play maybe doesn't play you don't play wilson if price plays because i agree with you
25:51i think a lot of these are contingent because if you say booty which i feel like you're leaning towards and nico's
25:57in he has to go but if you had to make a decision right now in the state of states i think
26:04it's got to be johnston would rather play gadsden are you gadsden over it i would rather dude dude last year when
26:10i i think this charter's offense needs a spark man like and gadsden now has an opportunity to be more involved as
26:16the main tight end because they're not going to be using color as out i mean he's going to play probably every
26:23single snap on offense you're not wrong so i mean johnston is boomer bust the bills defense has been susceptible to some
26:29big plays but i still think the offense moves through lad and then gadsden i mean gadsden what he didn't score touchdown
26:35last week or two weeks ago so i think that's maybe the move i make hunter henry i think is kind of
26:42safe if you just kind of let a floor play he did leave the patriots in target share last week without aj
26:48brown so if they are throwing a lot i think the hunter henry especially with eli raritan also banged up he's also
26:54a player that played a nearly every single snap for the patriots so i know i don't always recommend flexing tight ends
27:01but in this situation when you have guys that look like they're going to play every single snap that's a good opportunity
27:07so obviously i'd like to wait for more information about the injuries booty would be in if if nico is out and
27:13then if price is out i would move wilson up ahead you double duded me too on that you're like dude dude
27:19so you know it's serious when there's a double dude only thing i would point out maybe a little concern if you
27:26look at pff grades this is a rough one linebacker coverage safety coverage and cornerback coverage on tight ends is top six
27:32all of them so you know maybe for for the bills bills against uh so bills coverage against tight ends so at
27:38least coverage grades very early on in the season doesn't look great but i don't disagree with you that like he might
27:45be the safe there might be a lot of safety net options that the chargers are going with they might not be
27:51on the big place that is a that's a rough situation the plays i think wilson is if you want to make
27:57the touchdown play regardless of price being out there gadson is erickson's call i'm gonna say johnston out there you know pick
28:04your fighter that's a really rough sucks when we get to that space i had i had a situation i got lucky
28:10terrence ferguson was available in the league last week and i had puka and i was able to you know puka to
28:16the ir pick up terrence ferguson and put him in my flex and that worked out but it's like we i'll get
28:23that nick what's up nick hey guys i'm gonna throw my team in here i have uh bo nicks is my starting
28:29quarterback and someone just dropped stafford so curious if you guys would do like a full-on drop for him or drop someone
28:35else for him and then the other part of this i'm trying to figure out like flex right now basically i could
28:42drop ferg or i could pick up terrence ferguson from waivers he's on there right now if puka doesn't go i could
28:48start him might drop uh brooks for algier because i have jeremiah love i know i'm saying a lot here sorry well
28:54i actually wanted to ask you do you not have an ir in your league i have two irs and they're filled
29:01by uh tyson and aj brown so that's kind of like the tough spot there i could also drop tank figsby if
29:07uh saquon is playing on saturday for uh algier i would drop brooks yeah brooks has got to go uh can i
29:13present this to the courtroom as well would you consider just saying just jettisoning tyson into the sun and just uh i
29:20mean i guess that actually doesn't cure it because i would not okay because that i'd rather have tyson than brooks okay
29:26like if i could if i could draw if tyson was available and i could just exchange him in my ir spot
29:32for brooks i would rather have tyson in my ir spot so okay because i'm i'm in agreement here brooks has got
29:38to go for somebody and i'm down for terrence ferguson because i think based on your roster i mean based on your
29:45roster you put lad in at wide receiver if he goes and then it's like addison or ferguson and if there's no
29:51puka i want ferguson so i think we're making that move but ericson what i'm curious about is that quarterback thing would
29:57because he has bo nicks do you think he should try to play back to back would you would you straight drop
30:04bo nicks for stafford or would you try to drop somebody else so now we're getting into are we dropping brooks and
30:10are you willing to drop someone like bigsby i don't want to i don't want to play bo nicks or matthew stafford
30:16this week i could also grab kyler he's available too i would rather i'd rather play kyler than both those guys i
30:23know that sounds crazy like ludicrous but i mean you know because if kyler plays well he's playing the dolphins in week
30:29four and then you're gonna have a great guy to start so i think bo nicks is probably the safest play so
30:35i have them all ranked back to back to back nicks kyler stafford but when you're throwing in the context of okay
30:42well future matchups bo nicks plays the 49ers in week four so that's not terrible as well who are you going to
30:48rank higher next week welsh assuming that kyler looks at least like competent against the buccaneers you're going to rank kyler higher
30:54than bo nicks next week because he's facing the dolphins yeah but but the the weird caveat we talked about this on
31:01the tailgate too is that if the broncos have no running backs you might have this like an alternate world where the
31:07they're going to i just completely but they're probably going to throw a lot who are they playing completely blank they're playing
31:13the rams the rams that's what it was that's what it was that was the alternate world where the rams maybe without
31:20puka are trying to keep it on the ground with quorum and karen williams and then the broncos they don't have a
31:26running game and they're just slinging the crap out of the ball which could up nicks but to your question unless we
31:32see this amazing output of nicks i probably am like kyler the matchup against the bucks right now seems amazing and kyler
31:39yeah so yeah i think i think the safe play is just play bow because you can also play him next week
31:45too potentially at the 49ers that could be a shootout i'm not like totally afraid of like the 49ers defense even though
31:51they've been better i don't think they're like you you can't play quarterbacks against them but if you feel like you could
31:57get kyler at some point or if you could just add kyler too and just stash him for next week if you
32:04want to do that you have an extra roster spot but kyler's going against tampa bay this week what was next week
32:10miami oh yeah jesus okay that's what i mean like because it's just a matter of like he just has to be
32:16competent like if he sucks this week though like it's gonna it's gonna be shaky for like oh he's playing the dolphins
32:23but it's like he sucked last week like so he's got to at least look competent there's an argument i just want
32:29to put those out here not to keep on a tangent there's an argument to say based on that instead bow's going
32:35against the rams stafford's going against the broncos and kyler's going against tampa bay with miami out there and people fighting for
32:42it there's an argument to be said i don't know what your matchup looks like that you you go and get kyler
32:48murray now you play him against that bucks team who just made deshaun watson look good and you've got him against miami
32:54next week yeah well i mean i think kyler's definitely no no that makes sense i have a lot of moving pieces
33:01here yeah yeah no i think you also i think you mentioned too like if you want to add alger i don't
33:07think yeah so like i i i didn't know like with love if it's worth grabbing alger uh it is like five
33:13bench spot league so it's not like super deep there no so i'm gonna present one more little tiny thing this is
33:20a contrary to erickson's thing i don't want to move off of bigsby necessarily because saquon has this stinger but i do
33:26want to say if saquon did not have this stinger right now and bigsby wasn't out there i would in a heartbeat
33:32just dump him to do the kyler thing we're talking about and then if you if you felt more comfortable about nicks
33:39this week and then you wanted to be prepared for next week with kyler going against miami i would do that so
33:45the only thing that's keeping me off from that is that saquon was hurt but maybe because it's shorts bench and it
33:51seems like you have like pretty decent players that are floating out on waivers like maybe you can't maybe you can dump
33:58bigsby to do that move i know that's not going to be i don't think erickson's going to want to sign off
34:04on that but like the kyler situation kind of has me a little bit like excited especially about the miami thing and
34:10instead of fighting everybody i just do it this week but that's something to think on there nick no that makes sense
34:16i figured i'd wait till later in the week see if like there's a saquon update if he's playing for sure drop
34:23tank uh if he's not then drop brooks for that kind of move and i guess i would i would drop brooks
34:29regardless yeah brooks is right now yeah do that okay okay yeah we're god we're still over like look at look at
34:35us we're just so over i mean hey well you know but like at least we're look like it was a bad
34:42call yep and we're telling people to move like move on like cut bait take the l we're done like can't live
34:48on forever again like i mean all my best ball shares of jonathan brooks i hope that he makes a comeback and
34:54that rap report is right that like yep they're they're confident he can be contributor down the stretch i'm like sick like
35:01that would be dope but i am not expecting it to do anything my first year in the tags league and he's
35:07my number two running back and i'm just like i do have like jonah coleman i think i also might have emmett
35:13johnson i got marshall lloyd i know after his after his monster game i know both of them remember when we were
35:20debating lloyd versus brooks and you gave me crap for i took like lloyd one time and then realized that none of
35:26them mattered and we should have distracted blake horn instead yeah yeah or like i said chuba chuba was just floating out
35:32there all right great question nick joe what up joe so first question is full ppr should i start George Kittle over
35:39joan johnson or should i go johnson i'm kittle yep okay kittle okay uh second question would devante smith be a good
35:45trade for breeze hall at this point if i already stacked that wider series i have nico collins and jsn so you
35:51mean trade devante smith to get breeze hall yeah yeah go ahead i don't think i would do that nico because he's
35:58not healthy can you trade nico for reason that would be better to do nico for breeze hall he's a little bit
36:04banged up also i mean i i'm i'm big devante i want smith top five receiver this week so like i think
36:10this is a smash week so i would just also slightly point out that you probably get a bigger return for smith
36:16if he does smash this week so yeah i mean you get a banged up wide receiver maybe you make that move
36:23with uh with nico first what was number three oh number three so should i hold or trade etn and if you
36:29guys think i should trade him like what type of rbs do you think you know i can get back from him
36:35or especially if i can pair him up with like a mike evans or george kittle and that's for full ppr you
36:42know you probably have to pair him to do anything i think it's a bad time to trade etn if you you
36:48could you trade etn and mike evans to get chase brown yeah that's dude that has been your theme this week if
36:54you could package those two i love and i love it because yeah dude it's because like they're playing the steelers and
37:01i think that people look at the steelers defense and think it's elite and then i'm like i don't know man like
37:07they play drake may without a lot of his weapons they played cooper rush and this defense is old so it was
37:13always going to play better to start the year and then you're going to see this defense start to deteriorate i think
37:20as the season progresses yeah so chase brown dude two games against the last year averaged over 100 rushing yards per game
37:26potentially a precursor to an over bet on chase brown rushing yards in week three chase brown rb1 season is still on
37:32you might need to look at rush we're gonna see a little maybe rush plus receiving on the prop show this week
37:39scrimmage yards scrimmies you want some scrimmies i want some oh the scrimmies did me dirty last week though on my my
37:45bjohn robinson overall i mean in hindsight attaching anything to an offense led by cooper rush may have been a mistake on
37:51my part but but i mean if you're gonna go 127 total yards on a guy you're gonna go on bjohn yeah
37:58i think that's a great play the only thing of working against you is hn kind of stinks right now and mike
38:04evans is banged up so there's a little bit of sell low that's happening but that's why if you were to do
38:10both of those you got to get a guy like chase brown because like hn definitely can get back in the offense
38:17i'm just a little bit worried you know the camara and they're slinging the ball and just his usage is weird i
38:23think evans is going to get right i do think the health might be a bigger issue than i gave it credit
38:29for like i cannot get over how last week like he wasn't opening drives and then now he's got that issue so
38:35i don't love that so maybe start there see if that ends up uh working out for you another way that you
38:42can do it my friend is you can check out the trade analyzer if you want to double check uh if you

39:39are you doing you you texting chase brown right now you're saying like like mount up chase saddle up baby mount rock
39:45could you tell me if i um regulators who are the two artists that did regulate do you know what regulators is
39:51damn i just got depressed regulators mount up it was a cool night is it movie or a song oh no i
39:58mean it's it's cornwalls come on oh guys i never watched face off what do you expect no it's not a movie
40:04this is like just like music do you know who warren g is i'm sure that if you oh my god you
40:10don't even know warren g do you know nate dog yeah i know nate dog he was in an m&m song wasn't
40:17he he was in an m&m song yeah he was i was gonna start singing i don't have the lyrics in here
40:23but that one hurt that hurt way more than face off i'm gonna be honest with you regulators mount up doesn't no
40:29shivers no nothing all right let's move on hey rain man how you doing what's going on gents i was just gonna
40:36answer that one for you there welsh but uh stole my thunder on the warren g and nate dog you got yeah
40:42isn't that is that that's that's a rough one that's i'm not trying to be ageist or anything like that but that
40:48that was one of the true separators of like our not a huge age gap but like a little bit of our
40:54age gap my life consisted around warren g and nate dog yeah man absolutely so sorry what was your question got a
41:01couple for you i'll try to rapid fire i am uh in a unique situation because leaving the draft every year many
41:07thanks to you guys i'm always at the top left the draft with like 101 power ranking this year uh in the
41:13first two weeks i lost aj then i lost stripling got kicked out of the strip club and then lost alec pierce
41:20and mason so i'm owing two which has never happened to me before and i'm batting down the hatches so uh thanks
41:26to us dang it all right let's fix it 12 team half point the challenge here is it's only a four-person bench
41:32so that makes things we do that to keep the wire alive but i ran out and grabbed ray davis and johnson
41:39to protect my james cook ken walker who i kept in the fourth thanks to you guys so that's working out well
41:45but with the two only bench spots i'm hurting at options so i'm thinking about shop and monty which i really don't
41:51want to do but the guy that has a lave and higgins he has pollard as his rb2 with gibbs and he's
41:58already said he's dying he's got nico and some others so i think i could maybe get a lave off of him
42:04which i already know what erickson would say to that but then the other guy that has remandre and jalen warren as
42:10his only running backs has drake london would that be suitable or you think a good move for for monty yeah i
42:17think it's yeses all around erickson follow me for this i know you probably want to make a move now but i
42:23think it might be real sexy to trade him after this weekend because the colts defense not good and we could get
42:29another one of now it could go the other direction if woody marks gets more involved but an opportunity for montgomery like
42:36imagine trading him after week one with the three touchdowns everyone's like oh let's go and then he just was like but
42:42now if you have another matchup in here my point that this is is you could put it out right now it's
42:48all good you get either one of those guys golden specifically a love it love it if they say no to it
42:55then wait it out when montgomery has a smash week this week and then revisit that erickson what do you want to
43:01add to it i guess for me it's i'd rather just get the trade done if it's already there for me and
43:07not try to there but if it's not do you agree with that kind of take yeah yeah i mean yeah again
43:13if they like reject the trade and you're like okay well i'm gonna come back to you next week when monty does
43:20it really well against the colts hopefully and then we can revisit this trade so if you have to wait a week
43:26to get the trade done then yeah i think that that would be the wise move to make but i'm always also
43:32under the impression that it's never guaranteed when we have these matchups that oh this guy's teed up he's gonna smash sometimes
43:39that just doesn't happen that way especially to your point about i know it's talked about how woody markers get involved re-watching
43:45that game i mean dav montgomery was like nowhere to be found in the second half and it's not like they were
43:51getting like totally blown out at that point like they were kind of still in that game in the second half but
43:58there were just no action for david montgomery whatsoever and it's been like for two weeks david montgomery even in his three
44:04touchdown game 20 carries for 60 yards not super efficient in any way shape or form and this texas off at the
44:10line is still a big question mark about how efficient it can be run blocking up front for someone like david montgomery
44:17so the deal's there i would just take it and run if not wait a week sell high david montgomery will probably
44:23be someone i talk about on the show with worm next week for trades as a sell like if he does if
44:29he does smash ish if he's if you smash adjacent you're gonna try to move off of him yeah especially if it's
44:36more touched like two touchdowns 20 carries i'm like 50 like like 50 are like the same thing he did in week
44:42one essentially which he was a sell high after that point too i wish i was more vocal about that instead i
44:48was like you gotta sell chuba hubbard jonathan brooks is coming for his job and wrong just defending our shares in there
44:55i love it all right catalyst what up yeah it's kind of a little bit of context because i'm just trying to
45:01see if this trade is the right move for me right now so in my dynasty league i post my team a
45:07chat i'm currently owen two with lowest scoring and also allowing the third highest just as giving you a context for like
45:14the league around me i just gave up last week worthy and addison to get brissette and um to uh a third
45:20and a second for next year's draft likely going to be high picks and right now i'm just trying to see if
45:26i should move herbert for darnold and roma dunze just because my opponent uh the guy i'm training with he doesn't have
45:32a another quarterback outside of darnold and also he already has my first and that's the most he can give me so
45:39okay so hold on so do you have this is super flex you have herbert and percet you have another quarterback oh
45:45so it would just be a trade-off of quarterback for uh exchanging darnold and herbert but this is like this is a
45:51situation where you are playing to next year clearly right because you've got multiple firsts you've got multiple seconds or are you
45:58trying to make a move i guess it's more just like try to build assets also like from herbert but i just
46:04don't know if it's worth it enough to give up herbert just for uh darnold and a dunze this is the worst
46:10time to play to trade justin herbert totally i cannot co-sign on this what like he's not honestly he could have a
46:17good game against the bills right he could just throw for a ton of yards they have no run game that's working
46:23at least specifically in this matchup i'm very concerned about hampton the tight ends are all banged up i think that if
46:29the chargers the chargers have any shot at winning this game they have to lean more into justin herbert i thought it
46:36was interesting if you look at the pass rate for the chargers it's really low i thought that they would probably lean
46:42more i mean the way that mike mcdaniel was selling this off it's obviously we were excited about like the specific run
46:48schemes he was going to do but they haven't really been letting justin herbert drop back to throw a ton it's been
46:55running the ball and that has obviously not been effective so you can't go into buffalo and think yeah you know we'll
47:01just run the ball play keep away like and that's how we'll win it's like uh dude like we're paying justin herbert
47:07but so much money mike mcdaniel like they have to let him sling it so i cannot co-sign on selling justin herbert
47:14after these two brutal weeks for him even if it's not going to be perfect for the rest of the season he's
47:20gonna have so many better games especially for fantasy production so i don't i don't think it i'm not saying you can't
47:26trade him at any point but not after the last two weeks yeah i i have him on the prop show that's
47:33literally i think the bills have given herbert yeah i have you haven't looked at the show yeah i have herbert on
47:39bills are giving up like 270 and like 300 plus in both games the only way they're gonna win is sling the
47:45ball lad is feeling a little bit better like that's that's my take on it i agree i was actually battling between
47:51hampton i actually started with hampton under but then and i'd like and then you're like that's not my nature that's not
47:58me that's not my nature so i went i could take so i could take the hampton under yeah if you want
48:04i would i actually had two unders in the early process of my sheet so and then you're like that's that's one
48:10that's too too many i'll do it but then i was like i don't know i was just like i was talking
48:17myself out of it a little bit so but you take that so it's a correlative bet i mean you took the
48:23judkins one i know i need to find another running back i gotta find another running back we we i mean i'll
48:29give it back to you if you need we both like you got it the thing was is i was gonna take
48:36rush attempts and he was gonna take yards because rush attempts was at 12 and a half but then it jumped to
48:4214 and a half so yards is a big play but you actually and then he's gonna get 20 carries anyway it's
48:48not gonna matter it'll matter i know i was tempted to like i said maybe do like an alt of like 18
48:55carries or something like that we'll see i mean that's where i i agree also i'm not like in love i know
49:01a dunes is a big piece of it but like sam darnold is like an old older right like he's a little
49:07hurt yeah and he's hurt like i just because you could because if you do this you could just literally just lose
49:14this week because you don't have another quarterback to start yeah how old is sam darn did i just like make that
49:20up in my brain i think he's like 30 is that like super old he's gonna be like it'd be i think
49:26he's like 30 let's see i want to say that he's 29 i was in my brain he was 31 but he's
49:3329 so you still got some time that's it's i get where you're going with that but herbert is like a legitimate
49:39super flex like first round type of guy close to first round so it is a really good time it's yeah especially
49:45with the charger stock down for a reason it makes sense like there are real concerns but i think that he's gonna
49:52have better fantasy games even if the real life production even if the charges i keep losing games it doesn't mean that
49:58he's gonna be bad fantasy the rest of the season and he's this team it wasn't really competitive like you're kind of
50:04competitive but he doesn't have a second running back his wide receivers are a little bit and but like if you want
50:10to have assets for rebuilding and also i think it was a tight end premium i think it wasn't necessarily written there
50:17but he said he had loveland and pitts well why don't you have two good quarterback and or at least one good
50:23quarterback and a couple good tight end pieces in those premium type leagues those are the assets that you want and hopefully
50:29he can sometime get a second running back or something like that and you got two okay wide receivers hold on to
50:36herbert though all right president cal so i'm pretty overweight a receiver where i've got four of the top 15 but my
50:42only two running backs are a chan and uh jonathan taylor and in the dynasty league is now the time to sell
50:48on a chan and try and see if i can trade some of the big receivers for someone like gibbs or b
50:55jam or is a chan kind of the next best thing after that okay so you have four good wide receivers you
51:01have four good wide yeah which h and that's a good question you have four good wide receivers and you want to
51:07take one of those wide receivers and devon and you want to try to get like a top tier running back yeah
51:14pretty much i'm a bit concerned that malik is kind of eating up all of a chance usage at the minute it's
51:20that's good by the way before we answer your question present prez uh put what you put in the chat earlier by
51:26the way i loved your take when you're talking about entrances oh the best entrances yeah brian robinson jr last year when
51:33he came up to many men by 50 cent many men wish death upon me do you know that song erickson you
51:39are joking right i don't think so i don't know doesn't ring any bells there's no i i'm getting got you're trying
51:45to get me that there's there's no way you don't know how does it go how does it go many men wish
51:52death upon me blood in my eyes you are joe you're just wanting me to sing right i think i need to
51:58hear the full song oh my i'm i'm i was sheltered as a child okay oh i'm flabbergasted uh but i agree
52:04prez the the many men by brian robinson was phenomenal that is yeah i'm getting rage baited i think that is a
52:10great call on our conversation from last week of like incredible entrances but okay so can you oh can you really quickly
52:17tell us what the receivers are his roster's in here too is it okay then we got it we got it prez
52:23all right so erickson start to tackle that you don't know 50 cent but you know some dynasty and you know some
52:29trade so what are you doing in this situation are you gonna package uh he's got watson loveland or london pickens and
52:36tedaroa you package someone with a chan do you think that can get you a gibbs probably bison i don't know like
52:42how are you attacking this i mean i i think it's worth sending the deal see what happens i don't know if
52:48we're gonna get done yeah i mean a chan is a youngish running back i mean he's not that old he's still
52:55on his rookie contract miami should be better next year when they have a top rookie quarterback draft pick etc so this
53:01season he's been fine like kind of what we expected plays in a bad offense but he gets all the volume i
53:07understand that you're concerned about him breaking down which is always a concern but he's also really good and to me a
53:14chan's arc kind of seems like alvin camara where yeah maybe he maybe he seeds touches to another running back in the
53:20future but he's so good as a pass cat i mean like dude he was an rb1 when another running back on
53:26his own team scored 20 touchdowns like i think that hn is a really really good running back and a really really
53:33good player and the fact that he's so good as a pass catcher i think that kind of i feel like that
53:39helps cement his nfl future a lot better than some of these other running backs that are more reliant on rushing production
53:45so so i don't like so if you can if you can level up then sure but like i don't want to
53:52just get rid of him for pennies on the dollar because you know the dolphins press has more context there's one other
53:58receiver i didn't even realize he had when i was going through he also has nico collins so he had and he
54:04said he offered a chan and collins and a first forgives and he was told no so i think the answer unfortunately
54:11here is you're not getting it done because which of those receivers over nico does the guy go oh well now that
54:17i'm getting tetaroa you know or pickens now i'll do it if it a first a chan and one and nico doesn't
54:23get it done you're not getting it done yeah i mean i don't know what other i mean maybe because nico's hurt
54:29right now but the only receiver i think that would probably i mean if you're upgrading 100 it would have to be
54:36pickens probably right would you say pickens is higher value than nico pickens london somewhere in there like i think london's definitely
54:42the best so but even do london and a chan and a first actually yeah you know what i think london would
54:48probably be the move i would make he's younger but the falcons still haven't figured out their quarterback long term like maybe
54:55it's michael pennix it's probably not and then if he has a rookie quarterback next year then what does that look like
55:01so i think that i would up the ante to london and see where that goes and then if that gets denied
55:07then i don't know what else you're supposed to do would you still do the first thing because i feel like i
55:14would want to go hn in london and see what the guy says then the guy says now this is that control
55:20i always preach this the control thing maybe the guy just says if the guy says no by the way then you're
55:26never getting it done but what you do is you offer london and a chan and then the guy goes now he
55:33has control and you give him power for him to be like well i want that pick too and now it's like
55:39his idea and now it's starting to ruminate that he's going to get all this my question to you is would you
55:45also give up the first to get gibbs in that situation or would you want to down talk the pick or like
55:52because because if you tell me i'll do the pick as well go in without the pick and see if you can
55:58give this guy the control and then now he starts feeling like he's winning one over on you when you already would
56:04do it do you do well i guess i'm just want to make sure that it's clear to the person you're saying
56:11this offer to that london is an upgrade from nico in a first that's a good do you think that's is that
56:17you is that true or false like that's because i don't want it i don't want i don't think it's good trade
56:23etiquette to just send a lateral trade that's the same as the one that just got rejected so that's why i would
56:30be willing to do a chan nico in a first look if you're going to get a guy like gibbs you're going
56:36to have to overpay right we all kind of know that if you're going to get the best player in fantasy football
56:42you're going to have to pay a lot and probably feel like you're losing but if you're getting a guy that scores
56:48a touchdown every single week which is what we're hoping that jameer gibbs does every single week i don't think that you're
56:55going to feel bad about the first and london and a chan that you lost to get him maybe the deal is
57:01you send a chan london and a second and then in the back of your mind you acknowledge if he says no
57:07again i'll bump it up to a first no maybe that's what you should do but i'll be honest the more i
57:14think about this i think the guy just is not going to do it because the same token of what i just
57:20said the guy would have been like well give me london instead of nico and i'll do it he didn't he probably
57:26wants something insane like you offering nico pickens and a chan and it's just like your actually team will be okay but
57:33i just i don't i it doesn't sound like it's gonna get done because he said he also offered the same for
57:39bijon they don't want to get rid of the best players in fantasy even though you're sending quality offers but it's just
57:45not i think the thing that makes them be like good lord i can't not do this is like nico london and
57:52a chan and that's just such a wild trade if you want to maybe approach it differently maybe trade it for like
57:58maybe try this for like justin jefferson or something like that instead and not go running back but receiver instead i think
58:04yeah i mean also point out like jonathan taylor and hn like you're doing okay you did ask the question of like
58:11hey am i okay like you're doing good uh i mean you change your rb too yeah you change your rb too
58:17like it's it's uh i don't think your team is such kind of a powerhouse like trading a trading at such a
58:23high cost away just to upgrade that isn't really worth it when you have so much depth maybe you get people when
58:30they're um when they're on their heels a little bit but i understand the hn stuff it's concerning malik hasn't been like
58:36the best all right there you go friends that was fantastic you guys had a lot of good stuff some revelations in
