Insight page

Chris Bell

Insight page

Deshaun Watson

NegativeMatchup60:00

Insight page

DK Metcalf

PositiveMatchup6:48

D.K. Metcalf benefits from Atlanta's single-high coverage scheme, which the source notes as a favorable matchup dynamic when discussing why Michael Pittman should sit.

Insight page

Insight page

Insight page
NegativeProjection20:20

Insight page

Jadarian Price

NegativeUsage8:59

Jadarian Price looked good and awesome on the field with some impressive plays, but usage will likely be a frustration. Every time he got on the field, observers wanted to see more of him, suggesting limited opportunity due to rookie trust issues and potential rotation with other backs.

Insight page
NegativeRole9:16

Price showed juice and is a better runner than George Elani; Seattle increased his trust and playing time as the game progressed, moving him into more passing-down snaps and routes while reducing Elani's work.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveValue46:17

In a trade evaluation, A.j. Brown. Like stated 'in a vacuum, I still prefer Gibbs to those two' (Montgomery and Hall), but declined the trade due to the receiving roster's lack of depth at running back after the trade.

Preferred week one start over Quentin Johnston in standard league; also favored over Jalen Warren in flex consideration; close call with Jaylen Flowers but Waddle edges out as the preferred option.

Jaylen Waddle is chosen as one of two to start over Stefon Diggs and Ja'Marr Higgins in a choose-two-of-three decision.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

NegativeUsage8:59

Insight page

Insight page
NegativeValue25:39

Insight page
NegativeProjection43:47

Mentioned as a flex option in a two-receiver, two-flex lineup but not recommended over Christian Watson or Parker Washington; A.j. Brown. Like notes Kenneth Walker is playing in one of the flex slots but deprioritizes him in the decision.

Insight page
PositiveValue61:57

Kenneth Walker is chosen over David Montgomery in PPR, though A.j. Brown. Like notes 'the answer is really both,' suggesting both are viable options.

Insight page

Kyle Juszczyk

NegativeMatchup49:17

Rams defense expected to have success against 49ers in week one; defensive matchup context suggests 49ers will struggle.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

PositiveValue28:08

Insight page

Mark Andrews

PositiveMatchup50:26

Clear week one start over Kyle Kittle; preferred tight end option.

Insight page
PositiveProjection52:14

Insight page
PositiveValue62:08

Marshawn Lloyd is chosen over Tootin in Standard, with the caveat that he must be healthy. Lloyd gets the red zone work, making him the preferred option.

Insight page

Insight page

Michael Mayer

PositiveProjection62:51

Mayer is selected over Dalton Schultz in a flex start/sit decision, indicating preference for Mayer in Week 1.

Insight page

Michael Pittman

PositiveMatchup5:51

Michael Pittman is the easy sit in a Godwin/Pittman/Quentin Johnson start-sit decision. The Steelers may crush the Falcons given the quarterback situation and won't need to throw much. Additionally, Pittman faces a horrible coverage matchup against Atlanta's single-high defense, which ran single-high on 60% of snaps last year. In weeks 1-10 when Daniel Jones was healthy, Pittman against single-high had only a 20% target per route run rate and 1.45 yards per route run.

Insight page
NegativeProjection62:54

Pittman is not favored over Tony Pollard in a flex start/sit decision; he is also not selected over Marvin Harrison Jr. and Reed in a later three-way decision, indicating lower confidence in Pittman for Week 1.

Insight page

Mike Evans

PositiveRole5:00

Expected to be a part-time player even if active; likely to have a 60% route share at best, which will limit target volume and push other receivers down the target hierarchy.

Insight page
NegativeValue5:46

In a trade scenario where Evans and Pittman are offered for A.J. Brown in PPR, the source takes the Evans side, viewing it as fair value given Brown's high ankle sprain uncertainty and the need to avoid the injury headache.

Insight page
NegativeValue5:55

Mike Evans (Tech Godwin) was mentioned in a trade discussion where A.j. Brown. Like suggested potentially trading Evans for a running back like Bucky Irving to improve roster depth.

Insight page
NegativeMatchup21:17

Ranked third in preference for Week 1 flex behind Chris Godwin and Jalen Warren; Falcons' secondary is described as strong, which limits Evans' upside in the matchup.

Insight page
PositiveProjection23:55

A.j. Brown. Like strongly prefers Mike Evans over Josh Downs in a start/sit decision, saying 'It's Evans. It's not close.'

Insight page
NegativeRole25:34

Insight page

Insight page
PositiveRole25:34

Parker Washington is recommended as an easy start in PPR flex over other receivers including Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, and Mike Evans, indicating confidence in his role and production.

Insight page
NegativeProjection44:00

Frequently debated flex option against Christian Watson; analysts note this is likely to be one of the most asked questions of the week; while both are viable, Watson is slightly preferred, though the decision is close and context-dependent.

Insight page
PositiveMatchup48:58

Parker Washington is favored over Ben Watson in a flex decision for Week 1 PPR; the source prefers Washington partly because Jordan Love has had poor performances in his last two games against Brian Flores' Vikings defense, which could serve as a tiebreaker when both players are otherwise close in appeal.

Insight page
PositiveRole61:55

Washington is selected over Marshawn Lloyd in a start/sit decision, with the hosts agreeing that despite Lloyd's appeal, Washington is the safer choice for Week 1.

Insight page
PositiveValue62:35

Parker Washington is chosen over Marshawn Lloyd in a Flex decision, with A.j. Brown. Like acknowledging Lloyd's appeal but preferring Washington.

Insight page

Quentin Johnston

PositiveValue5:22

Quentin Johnson is very underranked in week one rankings; he's listed as wide receiver 34, which is considered too low. The source believes he will finish better than that ranking this week, particularly in a favorable matchup.

Insight page
PositiveProjection5:40

Ranked as wide receiver 34 in week one consensus, but viewed as very underranked; has a fantastic matchup and ceiling upside in start/sit decisions versus other receivers.

Insight page
NegativeMatchup12:10

Johnson is the ceiling play in a start/sit decision versus DJ Moore if you are willing to go for upside; however, Houston's defense has shut down Josh Allen well in recent matchups, which creates concern for Johnson's ceiling in this specific game.

Insight page
NegativeProjection44:04

Not recommended in standard scoring flex decision over Christian Watson, Parker Washington, or Jordan Mason; A.j. Brown. Like explicitly states 'there's no way at all this burns me' when choosing Watson over Johnson, indicating low conviction in Johnson as a flex play.

Insight page

Rome Odunze

NegativeRole24:45

A.j. Brown. Like expresses uncertainty about Odunze's role, though would pick him over Burden if forced to choose a Chicago Bear.

Insight page
NegativeInjury62:13

Odunze's foot injury status is uncertain heading into Week 1; if injury updates are positive by Sunday, he becomes the preferred start in a three-way flex decision over DJ Moore and Jordan Mason, but the hosts are currently in the dark on his availability.

Insight page

Romeo Doubs

NegativeValue28:08

Romeo Dobbs is suggested as a trade package piece to pair with Trevor Lawrence in an offer to acquire Lamar Jackson, indicating he has some trade value but is not a core asset.

Insight page

Sam Darnold

NegativeInjury10:00

Darnold's status is uncertain; there is concern he could be out for the entirety of the season with a possible labral tear on the hip. This uncertainty creates downside risk for Seattle's offensive players.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

NegativeRole48:42

Early draft capital already represents a health bet; handcuff strategy (Wicks) is secondary to the primary Barkley investment in week one.

Insight page

Sterling Shepard

PositiveRole5:00

Cannot be started in week one due to unclear role; will be pushed down the target hierarchy with Mike Evans and George Kittle also part-time players competing for targets.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

NegativeBreakout22:10

Viewed as a lottery ticket in the Josh Lloyd trade; A.j. Brown. Like notes that if Ferguson hits, it would improve the trade value, but his upside is uncertain and contingent on breakout performance.

Insight page
PositiveSleeper50:20

Wonderful stash with significant upside; should not be left on waiver wire in any league; however, not a week one start despite upside potential; role clarity remains uncertain.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

NegativeRole25:34

Terry McLaurin is presented as a flex option but is not recommended as a start over Parker Washington and Zay Flowers in PPR format.

Insight page
NegativeProjection25:45

A.j. Brown. Like does not prefer Terry McLaurin over D'Andre Swift and Parker Washington in a PPR flex decision.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

PositiveProjection62:54

Pollard is selected over Michael Pittman in a flex start/sit decision, indicating preference for Pollard in Week 1.

Insight page

Travis Kelce

PositiveProjection59:08

Travis Kelce is projected as a low-end tight end one for the season. While not expected to be amazing, he should get significant target volume. On a per-route basis last year he was not bad; if he gets touchdowns this year, he has top five to seven upside. The projection hinges on target volume from the Chiefs offense.

Insight page
NegativeRole

Referenced as context for tight end start/sit decisions but no specific week one insight provided.

Insight page

0:00This is an iHeartPodcasts. Guaranteed Human. Attention chicken nugget fans!
0:03Burger King heard that a lot of you didn't like the old chicken nuggets, so they got to work and reinvented them.
0:09These new chicken nuggets are their tastiest, crispiest, juiciest nuggets ever.
0:13And because better chicken nuggets deserve better sauces, they've reinvented several of their sauces.
0:17And they created a brand new one, the new Special Savory Sauce, which is only available for a limited time at participating U.S.
0:24restaurants. Don't wait around. You gotta try the new Burger King chicken nuggets today!
0:28Hello everybody! Welcome into Fantasy Pros. I am Ryan, warmly joined by D-Bro Derek Brown.
0:32We are gonna be here every Thursday, I believe at the same time all season long, answering some StartSit questions live.
0:38D-Bro, I'm excited! We're here! We have real football to talk about!
0:42It is, man! As ugly as that game and as much as it went off the rails last night, it was interesting.
0:49And we got real ball! We are officially back, man!
0:51It's no longer like right there on the horizon.
0:54It's here. It's back. We're here. We're reminded of the downside of Fantasy in addition to the upside.
0:59Yeah. The injuries, the underperformances, the interceptions, all that fun stuff.
1:03How many leagues do you have Bowers and A.J.
1:05Brown in, or at least one or the other?
1:08I did not have Bowers in any of my leagues because I was firmly on Colston Loveland at cost.
1:14So I did not step on the Bowers rake, which nobody could have seen this coming.
1:18And this is just again the run out and the same thing with A.J.
1:23Brown. Like I got him in, I think, one league, but past that, I mean, a lot of these are industry leagues
1:29and other leagues like content leagues and leagues of, of fellow colleagues of FP.
1:33I've talked too much about A.J. Brown, so I didn't get him to follow to me in a lot of drafts.
1:39So we that game last night wasn't hurting me from a lot of different perspectives.
1:44But I understand like, I mean, if anybody drafted A.J.
1:47Brown, like this is the sort of thing that this is what happens with grown men playing football, man.
1:52People get hurt. And I mean, it's easy to say, oh, A.J.
1:56Brown has been injury prone and what happened. Dude, anybody would have gotten hurt with the way that that hit down in the way it's not an A.J.
2:04Brown issue. Yeah, I had almost no Drake May or A.J.
2:08Brown through most of draft season in the last like three drafts.
2:11I think I got both of them twice because I was like, oh, I don't have any of them.
2:17I don't want to miss out. And, you know, that's the way I'm not worried about Drake May long term, at least not.
2:24Same. Yeah. Well, let's go and head and dive in here.
2:27We got a ton of questions coming in already.
2:29We're going to get through as many as we possibly can.
2:33Just a reminder for everybody when you're looking at your lineup decisions.
2:36All of our weekly rankings for 2026 can be found at fantasypros.com slash rankings.
2:40And to get a guaranteed response, please send in super chats.
2:44We will do our best to get to as many questions as possible throughout the stream, super chats or otherwise.
2:50But super chats in the first 20 minutes of the show are the only way to 100 percent guarantee an answer.
2:56Again, Debra and I are going to do our absolute best to get through every single question if possible, or at least as much as we possibly can.
3:04But super chats that come in early is the way to truly guarantee 100 percent that you will get an answer.
3:10We'll also prioritize them in the order of how we answer stuff.
3:14So let's start with the first super chat question that we had come in here.
3:18This one from Vinny. Would you go Kittle if not Ferguson or Mayer in PPR?
3:23Also, if someone is offering Gibbs, would you trade away H&N and Hall if needed?
3:27So a lot going on here. Let's answer the tight end question first.
3:31Would you go Kittle or Ferguson or Mayer in PPR?
3:34Mayer, then Ferguson, then Kittle in that order. I'm sitting Kittle in so many different spots where I have him.
3:40I just I don't know what to think about his playing time.
3:43I think he's probably going to be obviously a part time player, maybe like a 50 or 60 percent snap rate.
3:50Now, a lot of it is probably catered towards passing downs.
3:53But still, it's a horrible matchup. What do we see out of Kittle in week one?
3:58I don't want to mess with any of that.
4:00With Bowers being out, Mayer is going to be a focal point of the passing attack.
4:05The Dolphins are not a good defense. Ferguson, at best, is the number three in that offense as far as targets go.
4:12So I'll go Mike Mayer. Where is Mayer ranked actually for you this week?
4:16I bumped him up. I think he's close to tight end one bill.
4:20I don't know that consensus has caught up yet, but I'm curious where you're going to have him.
4:25I am at tight end 13 right now. So like like a fringe starter.
4:29But to this point, I have him above Dalton Kincaid, Jake Ferguson, Brenton Strange and George Kittle.
4:34Ferguson is still higher in consensus, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes.
4:38It'll change by the time we get to the weekend and people update ranks by Sunday.
4:43And then what about this trade? If you could get gives, you trade an 8-handed hall?
4:48I kind of think I would. This depends on the size of the league, Vinny.
4:52And if you could throw this in the chat.
4:55Like if this is a 8 or 10 teamer and we've got more depth and more of the onesie and more of
5:01like all stars versus everybody's all stars, then I'm more likely to do this trade.
5:06If this is a 12 teamer, I'm probably not.
5:08But it depends on the roster, man. I think if it's like 14 or 16 team leaguer, that's where I would weigh more towards the depth.
5:16I think 12. I think Gibbs might just end up being one of the correct answers this season where it doesn't really matter.
5:23And, you know, HN on a bad offense, probably.
5:26Hall on a bad offense, probably. I think I would do this.
5:29If it's 14, 16 team league, something like that, it's a good call by you.
5:34I probably wouldn't. But 12 teamer or lower, I think I would.
5:37Yeah, I think it depends on the team context and things of that nature, plus the rest of your roster.
5:43Yeah. Let's go to a question here from Don Flex.
5:46Stribbling or Quentin Johnston in full PPR? QJ. I agree.
5:49I mean, I can't start stribbling in week one when we have no clue what his role is going to be.
5:55And even if Mike Evans and George Kittle say they're part time players, they're still going to be out there.
6:01And that's still going to push stribbling down the target hierarchy.
6:04And Evans, even if he's out there, let's just play the worst case scenario here.
6:09Or say Evans only has a 60% route share.
6:11You got to believe that he's going to be in in the primary on red zone stuff.
6:16So I can't start stribbling out the gate. QJ, fantastic matchup.
6:20Yeah, I'll go with QJ in the ceiling here.
6:22I think Quentin Johnson is very underranked in week one rankings, like just regardless of who you're putting him up against.
6:29In this case, it's stribbling. He's wide receiver 34.
6:31I think it's too low. I think he's going to finish better than that this week.
6:36I agree with you. I'm just very in on QJ.
6:39So I lockstep there. Fully agree. Another super chat here from James.
6:42Not a start sit. Totally fine. Ask whatever questions you want.
6:46Trade got offered Evans and Pittman for A.J. Brown in PPR.
6:49I don't really want to deal with his ankles.
6:52Should I accept? So this is coming off of the ankle injury.
6:55Are you willing to sort of sell low here on A.J.
6:58Brown and not deal with the ankle? High ankle sprains are long term, even if they're back on the field sooner rather than later.
7:06Agreed. Agreed. I'm taking the Evans side of this.
7:08Definitely taking the Evans side of this. Like, again, we're still waiting on clarity for A.J.
7:13Brown. Like, it's a high ankle sprain that said no fracture, but we'd have no clue about severity.
7:18They haven't even released a timeline right now. And he's an older wide receiver, so are we expecting to bounce back like a 23-year-old wide receiver would?
7:26No. So, yeah. I'll take the Evans side of this.
7:29I also think there's something, too. Like, it's your team.
7:32If you don't want to deal with the headache, don't.
7:35Yeah, exactly. It's your team. Get off that roller coaster.
7:38Exactly. I totally support that. I mean, somebody's giving you an off-ramp right here, and I think it's actually, like, fair value considering.
7:45Take it. Yeah. All right. Next question here from G-Man.
7:48Welcome back. Which one sits in a full PPR?
7:51Godwin, Pittman, Quentin Johnson? I'll tell you, for me, D-Bro, the answer to this is Pittman.
7:55Same. I think the Steelers might, like, crush the Falcons, given the quarterback situation, and not need to throw that much.
8:01Pittman's also, you know, I don't know what his target share will be.
8:05Even if he's the number two target earner in this offense, I don't think they're going to throw a lot in this particular game.
8:12We just talked about liking Johnson. I think Godwin was severely underrated all draft season.
8:17For me, Pittman's the easy sit. What say you?
8:20Pittman's the easy sit for me, too. I talked about this this morning.
8:23Seth and I recorded the Primer video, which will be out, I think, tomorrow live on YouTube.
8:28It's a horrible coverage matchup for Michael Pittman, and this definitely leans in the way of D.K.
8:33Metcalf with Atlanta's single high. So, yeah, I'm not playing Pittman in any spot that I got him.
8:39Just for everybody, just context from the Primer. Weeks 1 through 10, when Daniel Jones was healthy last year, Pittman against single
8:45high, which Atlanta last year ran towards the back end of the season at almost 60% of their defensive snaps.
8:51Pittman only had a 20% target per route run rate, 1.45 yards per route run.
8:56I'm sitting, Pittman. Another super chat in here. Worried about Price's rotation percentage.
8:59Kind of seemed like he was getting a little bit of the frustrating Kenneth Walker at times usage in Seattle.
9:05What was your reaction to it? I mean, he looked good, right?
9:09He had some plays. He looked awesome, dude. He was very fun to see him running, but the usage might be a frustration.
9:16What do you think? I think the usage will be a frustration.
9:19I mean, looking at last night, it was like every time Jadarian Price got on the field, we were like, okay, we need to see more Jadarian Price.
9:28Why are we? And this all just comes down to like trust of the rookie and stuff.
9:33What I will say with the upside is as we, anybody that watched the game, you could tell Seattle was getting more trust and comfortability with Jadarian Price.
9:41As they moved through the game, he started playing more on passing down snaps, started running some more routes.
9:47We got a little bit less George Elani down the back half of that game.
9:51So I don't feel great about Jadarian Price, but in the essence of this could be a good buy low scenario worm
9:57where his role could continue to grow. Right now, is there downside?
10:01Because we don't know, have a clue what's going on with Sam Darnold.
10:05Could he be out for the entirety of the season?
10:08Very possible. Because we still don't know if he has a labral tear on the hip.
10:13But if Sam Darnold comes back and Jadarian Price continues to earn more of the work, this could be a nice buy low.
10:19So I am concerned, but I think anybody with two eyes that are actually functioning last night could see that Jadarian Price
10:26obviously has juice and he's a way better runner than George Elani.
10:29It's a team that I think is going to win a lot of games, even on the defense alone, even if Darnold's hurt.
10:36And I think he's a good player. That's enough for me to be like, I don't want to overreact to that.
10:42I'd be looking to buy more than sell if that was the question.
10:46We have a ton of Super Chats in here already.
10:49Just a reminder that Super Chats in the first 20 minutes are the only way to 100% guarantee your question will be answered.
10:56I just want to kind of reiterate that. As always, we are going to try to answer absolutely as many questions as possible.
11:03That is the goal, but there's just frankly too many to get through in an hour.
11:08So Super Chats that come in early will be prioritized.
11:11Just kind of the way we have to do it.
11:14Question here from James. Trade offer in PPR. Hampton, Flowers, and Watson for Scadaboo, Alave, QJ, and Bowers.
11:19Would you accept? I also have Cook, Moore, Mayer, and Chigakonkwo.
11:22So again, receiving Hampton, Flowers, and Christian Watson giving away Scadaboo, Chris Alave, Quentin Johnson, and Bowers.
11:27Hampton side. Not close. You're taking a hit at tight end once Bowers is back.
11:32Right? Because he has Mayer for now. But we have no question when that's actually going to be.
11:37The Raiders, I will also state this. The Raiders putting out that he might miss one or two games feels extremely optimistic for Bowers right now.
11:45I strongly agree with you if Bowers is out for a while, or at least limited for a while even when he comes back.
11:52At full strength, I would be more nervous about this because you're not getting a tight end in return.
11:57But yes, I generally agree with you given the uncertainty with Bowers.
12:01I am on board with this one. Okay. Next question here.
12:04DJ Moore or Quentin Allen or Baker? Oh, sorry.
12:07These are two different questions. DJ Moore or Quentin Johnson?
12:10This is a case of ceiling and floor. Depending on your matchup, I think DJ Moore is the target.
12:15The higher floor of the two guys. If you're going YOLO ceiling, then it's QJ in the matchup for me.
12:21Houston defense has shut down Josh Allen pretty good the last couple times.
12:25I'm worried about it. Josh Allen's lowest QB ratings in any individual game.
12:29Two of them in the last three years of his last three came against Houston.
12:33That was lowest QB ratings in any game. And I know DJ Moore wasn't on those teams, but I think this Houston
12:40defense is even better than it was the last two years.
12:43So that's scary to me. And then Allen or Baker.
12:46Obviously Allen going up against that same Houston one.
12:49I don't know how you get away from him.
12:51You can't sit Josh Allen. I get Cincy. I know you like your defense better this year.
12:57I get it. I mean, I get it. And I understand this.
13:00I feel like we're getting too cute by sitting Josh Allen.
13:03Because while I'm expressing concerns about DJ Moore, I think the X factor in that game to produce is Dalton Kade.
13:10Regardless of what Josh Allen does or does not do through the air, we know he can still get it done with his legs.
13:17And if he's going to be running away from the Texans pass rush, he's going to get rushing yards.
13:22I'll still play Josh Allen, but I'm going QJ on the other side of it.
13:27Question here from James Chikakakwa or Schultz for the three or four weeks for Bowers?
13:31Schultz just for the target volume. Although I'm not in love with either guy.
13:35I really like Chikakakwa before the Diggs edition. I don't like him anymore.
13:39I don't like Schultz week one versus Buffalo. They've been elite versus tight ends for a number of seasons.
13:45Do you think that will continue with Jim Leonard?
13:47I do. I mean, I think some of that's personnel and Diggs.
13:51We'll see. I mean, maybe it doesn't. But based off of what we know and what we don't know right now, I
13:57still don't feel great about Dalton Schultz. Question here from Rock.
14:01PPR 10 team league have Juwan as tight end.
14:03Who should I drop for Terrence Ferguson as a tight end stash?
14:07Algier, Mike Washington Jr., Jonah Coleman, Debo, or Lemon?
14:10Algier. You don't think the early workload with Jeremiah Love?
14:13I just. It's not that appealing to you. It's not a bad team.
14:16It's on a bad team. The Tyler Algier love has just jumped the shark.
14:21Like, we're quoting, like, depth charts prior to week one as the whole reason of being pro-Tyler Algier.
14:26He wasn't good on a per-touch basis. He's just a touchdown-dependent flex.
14:29Do we see Arizona scoring a crap ton of touchdowns?
14:32No, no, no, no. I'll drop out Tyler Algier.
14:35I'd rather take a flyer on Terrence Ferguson. For me, it was either Algier or Debo.
14:40You like Debo better than Algier? I like Debo better than Algier.
14:43I mean, Debo was a wide receiver three last year.
14:46I think you could definitely do that going back to the 49ers.
14:50Especially if Mike Evans can't stay healthy all season.
14:53For the next question, a quick note on Polymarket.
14:55Football is back, folks. And it's time to level up your approach to the NFL and college football this season.
15:01Because Polymarket is here. Polymarket is a legal prediction market now available in all 50 states.

15:53Yo, I was scrolling through the Sprite living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself.
15:58Arguing with yourself? I'm serious. It was wild because records like California Love, Still Not A Player, back then, those aren't just songs.
16:05Nah. Those are moments. Memories. Snapshots of where hip-hop was and where it's going.
16:09Exactly. And that's what Sprite gets. They spent over 40 years celebrating artists who really defined the culture.
16:14And now they flipping it, letting the fans be part of the conversation.
16:18Which is where it gets interesting because the real debate is why.
16:22Like, why did that song matter? Why did that line hit?
16:25Why did it change hip-hop forever? I can't promise you we got the answers.
16:29But you're definitely going to have a good time figuring it out.

17:17Okay, Chicken Nugget fans. I've got huge news. The new Burger King chicken nuggets just dropped, and they are the crispiest, the
17:23juiciest, and the tastiest chicken nuggets ever at Burger King.
17:26Burger King heard that a lot of you didn't like the old chicken nuggets, so they got to work and reinvented them.
17:33To go along with the new chicken nuggets, a lot of the sauces were reinvented too, because better chicken nuggets deserve better sauces.
17:39We're talking new buffalo sauce, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and even a whole new option too, the new special savory sauce,
17:46which is only available for a limited time at participating U.S.
17:49restaurants. I mean, you need to taste it all for yourself.
17:52This new chicken nugget, reinvented based on real feedback, is made with 100% white meat chicken, and is now better than ever.
17:59You gotta try the new Burger King chicken nuggets and sauces today.
18:02Another question here from James. Jenty in London or Bucky in London for my Cook and DJ more?
18:08Jenty in London or Bucky in London? I'd rather have Cook and Moore, I think, than either.
18:13I want Cook and Moore. I think the difference between Cook and Jenty with injury uncertainty and Bucky in general is not
18:19enough to— The RB downgrade is too much for me there.
18:23And especially with London's quarterback situation. Yeah. Maybe it would feel differently if I was like, oh, Penix is healthy all season.
18:29Maybe it would feel differently. I can't get there, though.
18:32I feel like the discrepancy between Cook and Bucky and Jenty is wider than the discrepancy between London and DJ Moore.
18:38Yeah, so Cook and DJ Moore side for me.
18:41Formally agree. Another question here. What up, D-Bro? No PPR.
18:44Tight end. Kyle Pitts or Terrence Ferguson? Oh, it's Pitts.
18:47I mean, this is— I love having Ferguson on your roster.
18:50Same. I'm very excited about him. Same. Great, great tight end stash this week.
18:54But if anybody were to say we are from the future, we already know that the Rams ran out four different tight ends.
19:01Since everybody had between a 25% to 30% route share, would you be that surprised in week one, Worm?
19:07No. No. He's a stash. He's not a start week one type of guy.
19:11Fully agree. We did get a super chat from DeBeast.
19:14It looks like there was no question actually dropped in there.
19:17So if you want to drop that in later, don't want to make you pay again.
19:22But we'll happily circle back to that one. Go to a question here from Dylan.
19:26Thoughts on picking up Chris Bell in place of Jacoby Myers?
19:29Sort of an upside swing there. It's an upside swing, and I'm totally down with it.
19:34Chris Bell, the stuff coming out of Miami is no snap count and stuff.
19:38So he's being given the runway to be Miami's wide receiver one.
19:42If Malik Willis is actually good, I think there's a pretty good chance that he is.
19:47Yeah. I'll take the wide receiver one for the Miami Dolphins over the wide receiver three, four on some weeks for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
19:54Sure. From Logan, Kittle or Hawkinson in week one?
19:56Uh, Logan, bro. I, I, uh, I can't. Okay.
19:59I'm going to throw this to the side on this, Logan.
20:02Drop Hawkinson and pick up Cade Otten. I would rather play freaking Cade Otten over either one of these guys or Greg Dulcich.
20:09Um, Britain Strange, if he's out there. Michael Mayer, if he's out there.
20:13And Dulcich might be available. I like that one.
20:16Any one of these guys. I do not want to play either one of them, Logan.
20:20Now, if you're in a dynasty league and you got to make this choice, I'll go with George Kittle.
20:26I have no faith in it. I would go Hawkinson, honestly.
20:29Not that I feel good about it. Kyler Murray can't.
20:32I just, like, Kittle, such a quick recovery from the, like, the injury.
20:36I can't. Like, week one against what should be really good defense.
20:40Like, I, I, I want to give him a week here.
20:43I would rather bank on a Kittle touchdown than, than, than Kyler Murray having to access the middle of the field.
20:49Because Kyler Murray, he's still not going to be able to see over the whole line, Worm.
20:54No, nobody clipped this and say that I was here fighting the good fight for TJ.
20:59Oh, no, no. Let the record show you are not pro Kyler Murray.
21:03And we are both not. So. Next question here.
21:05Started AJ Brown. May need points at flex. Full PPR.
21:08Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, or Jalen Warren. The start-to-day advice was Warren, but I may need more.
21:13What do you think here? Chris Godwin. I would go Godwin.
21:17All in on Godwin this week. I would, my order of preference here would be Godwin, then Warren, then Evans, actually.
21:23Because I, I think, like, the Steelers running game I'm somewhat interested in because I think they're going to win by a lot.
21:30And also the Falcons, like, the one part of their team that's still pretty good is the pass defense, I think.
21:36The secondary looks strong, but Godwin is ahead of Warren for me.
21:39So I agree with you. Yeah. Next question here.
21:42Start two in my flex. Tootin, Brooks, Wandale, Coker, Terrence Ferguson, Jalen McMillan also traded away Lloyd for Wandale, Terrence Ferguson, and Parsons in an IDP league.
21:50How did I do? I think you did. Oh.
21:53Ugh. I don't like the Lloyd trade because all of those are lottery ticket type of guys.
21:58Like, Parsons, when does he come back? What does he look like when he comes back?
22:02If Terrence Ferguson doesn't hit. To be fair, Lloyd's a bit of a lottery ticket as well.
22:08Well, fair. Health-wise. But the upside is Josh Jacobs, when do we see him?
22:12I mean, he played, he played no contest. He's still in the exempt list.
22:16So, you know, Lloyd could be an RB2 for the entirety of the season.
22:20I would have won it a little bit. Now, I think in an IDP league, obviously Parsons and if Ferguson hits would put you over.
22:27So, I'd say it's a wash considering what we know and what we don't know.
22:32I think it's the equal trade. The two for the flex.
22:35I think I go Tootin and Wandale. I think Wandale could get a lot of targets this week.
22:40I think I go Tootin and Coker. You do like Coker.
22:44No Kyler Gordon for the Bears. That Bears defense is horrific.
22:47I can't argue against that. I think this could quietly be a good Bryce Young game.
22:52And good Lord, it's probably not going to be.
22:54I'm going Tootin and Wandale. Debra's going Tootin and Coker.
22:57So, definitely Tootin regardless. And then pick between Wandale and Coker.
23:00I just don't know what Jonathan Brooks' workload is going to be coming into this with going issue.
23:06That's all. Yeah, I want to see it. PPR, Jordan Mason or Brian Thomas Jr.?
23:10Mason. Not close. Mason EZR. Oh, yeah. I wrote this up in the primer.
23:14The eight games where Tyson Campbell and Denzel Ward were on the field for the Browns last year, Worm.
23:20Bottom three in yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
23:25Brian Thomas Jr. is going to be a tough day.
23:28Yeah, I think that's fair. Just a reminder for everybody, we are past the 20-minute mark.
23:32So, remember, we cannot 100% guarantee your question will be answered from here.
23:36Please keep sending them in. We'll get through as many as possible while always prioritizing your super chats.
23:42But just given the volume of questions that come in, we cannot guarantee 100% from this point on.
23:47Again, we'll get to as many as possible and we will prioritize the super chats as well.
23:52Next question here. Start Mike Evans versus the Rams or Josh Downs against Baltimore?
23:56Evans. Yeah, it's Evans. It's not close. I can't.
23:59I'm not running Josh Downs out there in any league.
24:02It's Evans. I really think the Ravens defense is going to be good very quickly with Jesse Minter.
24:07I think the Ravens win and I think the under hits in that game.
24:11I think it's going to be a nastier game.
24:14I also like, what does Daniel Jones look like first game back on the field?
24:18Like, this is Evans pretty easily for me. There are a whole lot of yesteryear Daniel Jones vibes pushing that total to where it is.
24:26I, mm-mm. Yes, I am on board with you all the way around on that game.
24:30Another question here from James. Pick two flex. Burden, Parker Washington, Coker, Odunze, or Godwin.
24:35It is full PPR. Parker Washington is definitively in.
24:38If anybody wants to know why, go check the primer.
24:41I love Parker Washington this week. I bet the over for his receptions at plus money over on Betting Pros.
24:46Follow me on the app at D-Bro, or excuse me, bettingpros.com slash D-Bro.
24:50And the second one is tough here, man. Like, you got two Chicago.
24:54Metal James, you went full Chicago with this, bro.
24:57Like, golly. I think I go Godwin is my gut reaction.
25:00I'm going to go Godwin because I feel the best about his role.
25:04I feel like I don't know what to expect out of Burden and Odunze.
25:08There's uncertainty everywhere else. Godwin is the safest. And I think you get ceiling out of Godwin this week, too.
25:14I go Washington and Godwin. If you force me to pick one of the others, I think I'd go with Odunze, but
25:20I would go with Washington and Godwin. I think I'd go Burden if I had to pick a Chicago Bear, which, Metal
25:27James, you might be forced to play a Chicago Bear considering your lineage.
25:31So, I get it. Next question here. PPR start to flex.
25:34Zay, Parker, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans. Would you also try to trade Kenneth Walker for Hampton?
25:39Also have CMC, JCM, and Dowdle. And receivers are CD and Waddle.
25:42So, a lot there. So, quick, let's do the start decision first.
25:46PPR start to win the flex. Next. Zay Flowers, Parker Washington, Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans.
25:50Zay and Parker. Easy. Agreed. Also, so separate question.
25:53Would you trade Walker for Hampton? I feel like it's a lateral move.
25:57Like, if you want to make this move because you love Hampton more than you like Walker this year, fine.
26:03But I don't feel like you're gaining or losing a whole lot.
26:06I have them break pretty similarly rest of season.
26:09It feels like I really love Hampton. You bought – you got Hampton.
26:13You drafted him. So, I want Hampton. And you like Walker.
26:16So, let's exchange. And if that's how it goes down, fine.
26:19I'm not projecting either one of these guys for that much different.
26:23Yeah. You like one guy above the other? Fine.
26:26Go get him. I'm with you there. Question here from Mr.
26:29Ruthless. Trevor Lawrence, Bucky Irving, Bijan Robinson, Zay Flowers, Quentin Johnson, Devontae Smith, Tyler Warren, George Pickens, Rams defense, Tyler Lube, Kaysha,
26:35Goui, Romeo Dobbs, Najee Harris, Rashid Shahid. Is there a question in here, Ruthless?
26:39Or we just – We just – Two up, Peddix.
26:42Mad I didn't get a stack with Tila. Oh, I don't even see a question.
26:47Is there a question in here, Ruthless? Are we missing this?
26:50It's pretty sizable super chat, so I don't want to ignore it.
26:54Are we doing things with the roster here? Sal, our producer behind the scenes, if you see a follow-up question from him, please let me know.
27:01Where it is so we can make sure to answer it.
27:05Maybe he's just asking about the team. Yeah, I mean, I love this team.
27:09The team's really freaking good. If you're asking us to kind of say what do we think of this roster, I like it.
27:16I mean, Bijan, obviously, elite running back. Some good options at receiver.
27:19Like, wide receiver one would be where I think you could improve.
27:23Obviously, I've been a little more down on Zay Flowers and some of the other people here.
27:28But, like, very good tight end. Very good running back.
27:31Very good quarterback, I think. Like, obviously, great defense in the Rams.
27:34So, yeah, I think really good outside of maybe he could use him.
27:38Oh, I think Sal found the follow-up. Okay, there we go.
27:41Oh, here we go. Okay, cool. Should I trade away Trevor Lawrence for either Dak or Lamar?
27:46If so, who can I use to trade with?
27:49So, like, who could he add maybe Trevor to to get a guy like Lamar?
27:53Um, yeah. If we can go back to the full team, then I can put together a trade for you.
27:59I agree with – I hate Trevor Lawrence's schedule, man.
28:02I hate it up until about week 10. I just do not like it at all.
28:07I think the easier two out of those to get is obviously Dak because anybody that paid up for Lamar is not
28:14going to give him away and they're not going to give him away cheap.
28:18Yeah, it would need to be something like Lawrence plus, like – I don't even know who you would give up to pair to get Lamar.
28:25So, what I would do with this is you give up – the first offer I would send out is Trevor Lawrence
28:32and Romeo Dobbs and you package that as, well, A.J.
28:35Brown could be out for a bunch of weeks.
28:38Now you're getting the New England Patriots wide receiver one.
28:40Yeah. Now maybe they laugh at your face and say, wow, that's not nearly enough, and then you go back to the
28:47drawing board, but that's where I would start with an offer.
28:50Yeah. I think that's right. I agree with you there.
28:53All right. Let's go to another question here. Choose one to flex, Washington or Watson, in full PPR.
28:59Oh, God. I say play both. If I got to pick between my favorite sons – These week one decisions, man, you're
29:05like, hey, I drafted all these good players you recommended.
29:08There's not enough room to start them. I know.
29:11I know, man. And then people – I've had a few comments.
29:14People are like in the primer like, why didn't you write up like this wide receiver three or four?
29:20Bro, it's week one. Like nobody's like – we're all rolling out the best parts of our lineups and stuff.
29:26I'll go Watson if I got to pick between my favorite sons.
29:29I will go Parker Washington. Jordan Love has had big games.
29:33I say play both. But – Well, Jordan Love has had big games against the Brian Flores Vikings defense before, but his
29:39last two games against him have been poor. So maybe if you're just playing that trend as a tiebreaker, I mean, that's
29:46where I'm trying to turn here because I agree.
29:48Generally speaking, I would like to start both. The reason – and I highlighted this in the primer that I'm high on
29:55Jordan Love this week is we know that they're going to – that Brian Flores is going to blitz the ever-loving crap out of Jordan Love.
30:02The reason I like him this week is because over the last two seasons amongst 37 qualifying passers, Love ranked seventh in
30:09yards per attempt and EPA per dropback versus the blitz.
30:12So I think you can have a really good game.
30:15I'm so excited about Jordan Love this season. I'm just like completely bought.
30:19I think he was undervalued all drafts. Keep Josh Jacobs on the exempt.
30:23Let Jordan Love cook. Please. Please. There's always – every year there's a quarterback who goes in that like QB 14 to
30:29QB 20 range who's mostly a passer who just has – he runs really hot on touchdown.
30:34He's down and way outperforms even if he's not giving you a ton of rushing.
30:39I think that's Jordan Love this year. I'm really excited.
30:42Oh, my Lord. We might get Cooper Rush under center for the Falcons this week.
30:46Oh, Sua got like banged up today, right? I saw that.
30:49Oh, God. I'd rather see Jack Strand. Jack Strand season.
30:52We need it. All the Falcons assets in fantasy need it.
30:55Jack Strand, not Cooper Rush. Oh, jeez. Let's get to a happier note here.
31:00Varshawn Lloyd and DK Metcalf for DeAndre Swift and Trevor Lawrence.
31:03I'd much rather have the Swift and Lawrence side.
31:06I'll take the Swift and Lawrence side. It's fine.
31:08That would be my preference. I'm hoping that that is a super flex that you're making this trade and not a 1QB.
31:15That's a good point. If it's 1QB, I suppose it depends on who your other quarterback is.
31:20Yeah, it depends on who your other quarterbacks. Straight up, I would take the Swift side, but it just depends.
31:26Super flex is not even close. I would take the Lawrence and the Swift side.
31:30I agree. I'm remotely close. Terrence Ferguson, Mark Andrews, or Jake Ferguson?
31:34Mark Andrews, baby. This is for week one. Obviously, I'm presuming.
31:37Luana Rumo defenses provide the tight ends. We know this.
31:40My Zay Flowers versus Mark Andrews touchdown bet with Maritza.
31:43You're going to come out leading as the week one.
31:46I think it's going to start off strong. You are.
31:49Now, it could be a push. Zay could get in the end zone, but I'm telling everybody right now, I think Mark Andrews scores a touchdown this week.
31:57I agree. I picked him as my touchdown call on the Start Sid podcast earlier today.
32:02I taped with Jake and Fitz. And it wasn't because I'm being a homer.
32:06Robert. I agree with you. It's one of the rare times you're not being a homer.
32:11I was preemptively because I knew you were going to bring it up.
32:14I know because you knew I was going to go there.
32:18I knew you were going to bring it up.
32:20I know. I know. From Robert, PPR, Christian Watson, or Parker Washington Flex?
32:24Same question that we just had. Jeez, man. We split this one.
32:28I went with Parker Washington and Debra went with Chris Watson.
32:31But he wants you to start both. It's my favorite sons.
32:34He has Flowers and Higgins in the other spots.
32:37It's my favorite sons. I can't pick between them.
32:40I'll go watch one. What is their ranking in ECR?
32:43I don't actually know. Parker Washington, wide receiver 26.
32:45Christian Watson, wide receiver 24. So very close to each other.
32:48I would go Washington. Debra would go Watson. I think it's very close.
32:52And just for clarity's sake, I do have Christian Watson and wide receiver 18 and Parker Washington and wide receiver 20.
32:59So wide receiver 2s. Right there. Another question here.
33:01Is Shuck over Daniels in week one crazy? Not at all.
33:04Not crazy. In fact, I would do it. No, not crazy.
33:08I would do that. I would prefer to start Shuck this week.
33:11In the course field of the NFL, as Erickson always calls it, forward field for the Lions.
33:16It banged up defense. Banging up secondary in particular.
33:19I think the Lions are going to score a lot.
33:22So Shuck will have to throw. Like, at Daniels' first game back from the Achilles against, again, what I think is going
33:28to be a really improved, not only defense in Baltimore, but specifically pass rush against a guy who might not have his level of mobility.
33:36Shuck easy for me. And if you're out there in the betting markets, you can always entice me with a plus money over for passing touchdowns.
33:44Tyler Shuck is like plus 120 to plus 130 out there for one and a half, over one and a half passing touchdowns.
33:50I already bet the over on the Betting Pros app.
33:53One more super chat here. Couldn't start both Washington Watson.
33:56Already have Waddle and St. Brown. This was the earlier question on Washington.
34:00I mean, I get it. I get it. Any thought of like one of those guys over Waddle?
34:05Or no, you just said Waddle too high. I'm rolling with Waddle.
34:09I mean, I agree. I just, I had to ask.
34:12So I think it's fair. I know, but it's tough, man.
34:15Like people, they followed all the advice all summer.
34:18Now they drafted all these monster teams and they got problems, dude.
34:21So again, we don't have a consensus here. I say Washington.
34:25Debra says Watson. We both think it's extraordinarily close.
34:27They're like- Go full two-face. Flip a coin. Yeah, pretty much.
34:31All right. That's all the super chats for now.
34:33So let's scroll back and start getting some of these other questions in here.
34:37Again, we cannot guarantee any other questions getting answered.
34:40But we will get through as many as we can.
34:43And we will prioritize super chats as they come in.
34:46Before we get to the next question though, if you want the chance to win a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet, then this is your shot.
34:54All you have to do is leave a review on either Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
34:58Then screenshot that review and email it to mailbag at fantasypros.com.
35:02We will be announcing the winner right here on the show.
35:05So make sure to turn on those YouTube notifications.
35:08Or follow the podcast wherever you claim to listen to us.
35:11Excuse me, wherever you listen to us. So you can know new episodes are up and to claim your prize.
35:17I was like, claim to listen to us. Of course they're listening to us, Debra.
35:21But yeah, that's a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet.
35:24Very cool giveaway there. Scroll back to the beginning here and start getting through it.
35:29We'll go quickly through as many as we can.
35:31From Joseph. Crazy to trade AJ Brown for Christian Watson.
35:34Nope. Not crazy at all. Not crazy. High ankle sprains linger.
35:37They always do. We've seen it with Saquon. We've seen it with CeeDee Lamb.
35:42They always linger. I do not think. Speaking of which, I got to go update my rest of season rankings after all this stuff.
35:49I got to remind myself. I wouldn't give away AJ Brown for nothing.
35:53But a guy like Christian Watson that we really liked already.
35:56Yes. Willing to do that. But dropping him into like live on the show right now.
36:01I'm dropping AJ Brown into the wide receiver two territory right behind Christian Watson.
36:05So like in that DJ Moore and Mecca Ibuka kind of category.
36:08Another super chat in here. Rico Dowdle or DJ Moore in half PPR?
36:12This is a really good question. Half PPR. I would go DJ Moore.
36:16Just but I feel better about the volume of DJ Moore when we don't have a clue.
36:21Like could this be Rico Dowdle and he scores a touchdown?
36:24Sure. Could it also be Jalen Warren and he gets the touchdown?
36:28Absolutely. I'll go DJ Moore. Do you know how many carries the Steelers are going to have in this game against maybe a Cooper Rush led Falcons offense?
36:36It's in Pittsburgh. That front seven against either Tua if he's back or Cooper Rush.
36:40They're going to run the crap out of the ball.
36:43I hate the fact that you're making me reconsider my answer live on this show.
36:48I like DJ Moore the player so much more than Rico.
36:51I'm going to go with you. Uncle Rico. You've twisted my arm and I agree with you.
36:56It is an excellent question because I love DJ Moore in Buffalo.
37:00The Cooper Rush of this. The Cooper Rush of this does make me lean.
37:04The QB situation in Atlanta. I agree with you.
37:07I agree. I think that's why I have to go that direction.
37:10I don't like it. I don't like it either, but I agree with you.
37:14Question here from Kelly. Scadavu, DK, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason in my flex?
37:18We don't know if this is PPR or not.
37:21The floor play is DK. The ceiling play is QJ, depending on your matchup.
37:25Go whichever direction makes you feel good. What do you think about Scadavu this week?
37:30We haven't really talked about him for week one.
37:32I just don't know about his workload, man. I don't think the Giants and the Harbaugh of this like Scadavu as much as the Fantasy Consortium like Scadavu.
37:41I think people could see more Najee Harris than they think they signed up for.
37:45But you tell me if I'm wrong. You're the Greg Roman whisperer of this show.
37:49Worm? I don't want to be. I know. I mean, nobody asked if you wanted.
37:54You were born into this. You were baned into this.
37:57You didn't see non-Greg Roman years until you were a man.
38:00Yes. I can't top that. It's a great comp.
38:03I figured you would enjoy that. I really want to see what the Cowboys defense looks like, honestly, before I'm super excited about, oh, bad defense last year.
38:11Go start Scadavu. I'm really curious what that defense is going to look like.
38:15I also think the Cowboys are just going to win pretty solidly, in which case I don't know.
38:21I mean, Scadavu can catch passes. What would that actually look like in this offense?
38:25What would it look like? So, yeah, I think I'm with you on this one.
38:29Yeah. All right. Let's go to the next question here from Sean.
38:33Full PPR, 12-team flex. McLaurin or Warren? I'll go with Terry just for the target volume.
38:38I know it's a horrible matchup. I get it all.
38:41Like, this is just betting on talent. I have no clue what the world was going to look like for Jalen Warren this week.
38:48Yeah. Even though I like the Steelers to run a lot, that could go to a dowdle, right?
38:53We don't know. So, McLaurin. If the Eagles jump out to a big lead, Washington's going to be forced to throw their freaking ball.
39:00And by the way, I think the Eagles are going to win big.
39:04I do, too. Which will mean a lot of throwing.
39:07So, yeah. Yes. I'm with you there. Great. Another question here.
39:10Jackson Dart or Trevor Lawrence? Full PPR. I love when we get those questions.
39:14T-Law catching his own passes. I mean, we shall see.
39:17They're close. I think I'll go T-Law with this.
39:20I would definitely go Trevor Lawrence. It's not – I'm thinking through it more.
39:24Yeah, I'll go T-Law. I'm just like not a Dart guy.
39:27I know you like Dart more than I do in general.
39:31I like Dart a lot. But again, we have to see the Matt Nagy of all of this.
39:36Yeah. I go Lawrence for me. Question from Christopher.
39:39Jane Daniels or Tyler Shuck in 16-team full PPR?
39:41Again, PPR here. I'm going to go Tyler Shuck.
39:44Because obviously those guys are drafted very far apart in drafts.
39:47So you are immediately switching up the rankings in season.
39:50Not just the season. But like – I just really worry about what this is going to look like for Jane.
39:56We just said that the commanders might have to throw a lot to keep up with the Eagles.
40:02I know, man. So you're going Jane Daniels? I'm not saying that.
40:05I know. I'm asking. So you're going Jane Daniels?
40:08I'm playing Worms Advocate. I'm going to go Tower Shuck.
40:11And I know it's probably going to bite me.
40:14But I just worry behind this makeshift offensive line.
40:16You know what? Here's what I'll say. If I wasn't a coward, I would say Shuck with my chest.
40:22Because I am a coward. I'm being a coward too.
40:25I'm not saying it with my chest or a bird chest, I guess, is what I'm doing.
40:30But I mean – It's a great question. It's a type of question that I love in week one.
40:35Because there are always these start-sit decisions where you drafted a stud.
40:39Yeah. And then you drafted somebody else that you like as an upside guy.
40:43And then we get to the season. And the matchup is very, very clear.
40:47I tend to say start your studs, right? Don't pay to the matchup unless it's truly on the extreme.
40:53I think this might be on the extreme. But to that point – I think the Eagles are going to dominate the line of scrimmage in this game.
41:01And I don't know what Jane Daniels is going to do.
41:04To that point, I got a crap ton of Drake May questions yesterday.
41:08And I was like, okay, start him. Is everybody happy that you started Drake May last night?
41:13I think probably not. But like so as crazy as it sounds to play in Shuck over Jane Daniels, if he has
41:20a Drake May-esque performance – It's not just like, oh, it's a pretty good matchup for Shuck.
41:25I think this is as good a matchup as you can get.
41:28High total points. High total at Ford Field. I think they're going to be trailing.
41:33Like I really like – And I would – I like Alave and Juwan Johnson more than I like Shuck.
41:39If that makes sense. I like them all. But yeah, this matchup for Daniels sucks.
41:43Again, power Shuck over one and a half past.
41:46I don't know why the spread for this Philly-Washington game isn't a touchdown.
41:50And maybe I'm an idiot. Maybe I'm a sap who's going to be proven wrong.
41:54I think Philly's going to dominate this game. I think Philly's going to have – I don't understand.
41:59Like Philly at home and they're only getting five and a half?
42:03Both Pennsylvania teams at home, I don't understand why the line isn't bigger.
42:07That's how I feel about it. I think the Eagles are going to cover that.
42:11They're my two. I do a picks pool where you pick five games and two of them you kind of like double up as bonus.
42:19Like these are worth more. Those are my two games this week are the two home Pennsylvania teams.
42:24Again, I could be a sucker but that's all I see.
42:27No, I like it. From Rob, half PPR, Juwan Johnson or Mayer lost Bowers.
42:31I'll go Juwan Johnson. We're playing the total here.
42:34I was going to say I'm going Juwan even though we like Mayer without Bowers.
42:39I like Juwan better in this particular week for sure.
42:42I mean, bro, one of them's got a 50 total.
42:44He's going to be the number two target in this offense.
42:48It's a big game, high score we think, big total game.
42:51One's got a 50 total and the Lions are getting seven points.
42:55And Mayer's a good player but he wasn't practicing as the one this summer.
42:59Right? Like there's an element of working back in it.
43:02Like I do like both but I would prefer Juwan.
43:05Well, the other side of this is like could you just, I mean, see the Raiders just implode too.
43:10I think that's possible. I don't like the Dolphins defense but.
43:13I agree. Another one here from Quincy. Two receivers, two flex.
43:17Zay Higgins, Parker Washington, Bird and Christian Watson, Kenneth Walker, Rico Dowdle, Jordan Mason and Tajay Spears.
43:22All right. So. All right. So two wide receivers.
43:24We're playing Zay. We're playing T. So then two flex.
43:27It's basically. I mean Walker Washington, Christian Watson and Kenneth Walker.
43:31I mean, Kenneth Walker is playing in one of those.
43:34So then it comes down to Washington and Washington and Watson.
43:37So I'll go Watson again. Again, like I feel like deja vu.
43:40We've been here before. Worm. This is the question of the of the episode.
43:45I can't imagine. I'm so curious when we get when I'm on Sunday's live stream Sunday morning with Alfredo.
43:50So everybody needs to tune into that on YouTube and what have you and stuff.
43:55I'll do the shameless plug here. But I'm so curious after this stream, how many Parker Washington versus Christian Watson questions we get on Sunday, dude.
44:02You better be prepared with a more convicted answer after this.
44:06Apparently. I mean, my answer is start both, but everybody's got the teams are too good.
44:10Maybe I'll throw it up on our Twitter account.
44:13A poll. Yeah. I mean, maybe this is going to be one of the most asked questions this week.
44:19I truly think so. Yeah. All right. Question here from Luke.
44:22Bros. UK fan here. Oh, awesome. Shouts across the pond.
44:25We love Tom Strachan on our shows a lot from UK as well.
44:29Would you start Christian Watson? Shut up. It's a theme.
44:32He's got some others. So Christian Watson, Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason at flex.
44:36Have Josh Allen and Herbert at QB. Henry and Skadaboo at running back.
44:40And Adams in a lobby at receiver. It's a 2QB standard 10 team league.
44:44So this is standard scoring. Christian Watson, Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason in the flex.
44:49Christian Watson. Would you consider putting Washington in ahead of like Devontae Adams to make room at receiver or no?
44:55No. I think Adams has a really good game.
44:58So. Okay. It's close though. So you're going Watson.
45:01I'll say the same thing. Like there's no way at all this burns me.
45:05There's no way at all this burns me. And it's definitely one of those two, not Jordan Mason in standard or Quentin Johnson.
45:12No. Because I think you're looking at touch and equity.
45:15All these guys are good plays. This is a very strong group to be picking from.
45:19Like this is like damned if you do, damned if you don't.
45:23This is one of those kind of situations where Sunday night you're like, I wish I would have done this.
45:29And if you'd have done that, then maybe it works out different.
45:32And you're like, still, I wish I'd done this.
45:35So. Yeah. One last reminder for everybody that we cannot guarantee any answers to questions that come in from this point on.
45:41We will power through absolutely as many as we can, as I keep promising.
45:46But we cannot promise anything from here on just because we only have an hour for the show.
45:51And we get so many questions. They're wonderful questions.
45:54We really appreciate them. But we can only get to so many.
45:57Another super chat here from Vinny. I have A-Chan, Hall, Stevenson, Merritt, and Amon Ross, St.
46:02Brown, and Tech, Godwin, Wandale as well. Don't see a question here.
46:05This might be just asking. Oh, this was from earlier, the trade that Vinny asked about when he was asking about A-Chan and Hall for Gibbs.
46:13I believe that did come from Vinny. Oh, oh, got it, got it.
46:17Then considering your running back room, no, I'm staying with A-Chan and Hall.
46:21Yeah. Like Gibbs and Stevenson isn't terrible, but like that is.
46:24It's not great. There's no depth there anymore. Yeah.
46:27I think that's reasonable to get away. I think in a vacuum, I still prefer Gibbs to those two.
46:32But given the makeup of the roster, I agree.
46:35Now, if you could maybe first trade like. Could you do A-Chan and Godwin?
46:39I was going to say, if you could get a receiver in there or maybe if you could say, oh, let me
46:46just trade Godwin for like Bucky Irving or somebody.
46:48Like, I don't know who would make sense. Like A-Chan and Ted or A-Chan and Godwin and try to get a receiver back with him.
46:56If there's a quarterback in there, then I would still do it.
46:59But I can't do it as is with the state of that running back room.
47:04No, I agree. Yeah. Too thin. Okay. Another super chat here.
47:07I give James Cook and Aminra. That's a lot.
47:10Would receive Quentin Johnson, Blake Corman, Christian McCaffrey. Hell no.
47:13By the way, before he got to CMC, I was like, what world?
47:16And then I saw the CMC. One QB for PPR, 10 man elite.
47:20I would not do this. Hell no. No. I can't.
47:23No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
47:28No, no, no, no. You are. Yeah. Google Skynet is agreeing with us.
47:32Yeah. That's too much. There is a world where Quorum and Johnston are awesome this year, but you are projecting that to hopefully happen.
47:39We know Cook and Aminra are awesome. Yeah. Christian McCaffrey is great, but he was going like three spots ahead of James Cook in drafts.
47:46And then you also get another first rounder. I can't do it.
47:50That is like projecting CMC as like the overall 101 pick of like being like Jameer Gibbs.
47:55It needs to be one of those years where CMC was the only player that mattered.
47:59Yeah. I mean, it could be. Because that can happen.
48:02It could be, but that's also the same. Like James Cook is a top five running back as well.
48:08So like, no, there's no way I'm making that trade.
48:11Hell no. Yeah. Nice comment here from Max. Hey, bros.
48:14He's made championship in four of seven leagues and won it all in two of the four.
48:19Let's go. SP has been my go-to for several years now.
48:22Thanks for all the tips. Ready for your 18.
48:25We are ready for our, not year 18 here at Fantasy Pros, but whatever year this is for each of us.
48:31Very excited to be here again and helping out.
48:34So hopefully we can get you back to a couple of those.
48:37And hey, maybe you can win a championship in all four leagues this year, Max.
48:42That's the goal. Let's go, Max. That's always shooting for the stars here.
48:46Question from Steven. Should I pick up and stash Bigsby or Wicks?
48:49I have Barkley. I like Wicks better than a vacuum, but does the fact that he has Barkley change it for you?
48:56No. It doesn't matter. I would rather do Wicks.
48:58I mean, as early as you drafted Barkley anyway, you're betting on him being healthy.
49:03We're in week one. This is kind of like a mid-season.
49:06And like when we get to, as Fitz always calls it, like handcuffing and stuffing season, then you flip it to Wicks for him to tank.
49:14Yeah. All right. Let's jump around. No super chats in here right now.
49:17So we'll see how many questions we can get answered.
49:20Let's see if there's one where it's not one we've already gotten to.
49:24How about a defensive one? Ravens defense or the Rams?
49:27Rams. I'm going Rams. I think the 49ers are going to have a tough time.
49:32I really do. I think I agree. I'll go Rams too.
49:35I think it's close. You were weighing it so hard of how hard you wanted to homer.
49:40I can feel it in that side. I just really think Jesse Minter is like one of the five best defensive minds in football.
49:47Is Matabouke going to play this week? It's not clear yet.
49:50At least as far as I've seen, it is not clear.
49:54He's practiced. Yeah. But if we knew he was going to play, maybe that shifts this.
49:58But I think it's the Rams because I'm with you.
50:01I think it's kind of like 50-50 plays or he doesn't play this week.
50:05Yeah. Another question from Derek. Start Coram or Algier?
50:08Coram. Coram obviously would have to decide tonight. I like Coram.
50:11I agree. I like Coram this week. I already bet the over in his rushing yards.
50:16I agree. Question from Chris. Start Ferguson or Dulcich at tight end.
50:20It is full PPR. Dulcich, baby. I know he's getting routes.
50:23It's a good matchup. I have no clue what Ferguson's role.
50:26Again, just how you frame this earlier, Worm. Ferguson is a wonderful stash.
50:30There's lots of upside. Is there any way, shape, form, or fashion I'm rolling him out in a lineup in week one?
50:36Hell no. I am not allowing Terrence Ferguson to sit on the waiver wire in any league I am in, but that
50:43does not mean I am starting him in week one.
50:46Should I start Kittle or Andrews? Got to be Andrews.
50:49Andrews. Yep. Andrews. I think for sure. How about Waddle or Quentin Johnston in a standard league?
50:54Waddle. Yeah, it's going to be Waddle for you.
50:57All right. How about, we already answered that one.
50:59How about Flowers or Waddle or Jalen Warren in the flex?
51:03It's really kind of a flowers or Waddle. I think I would go Waddle.
51:07I'll take Waddle. It's close. I would go Waddle too.
51:10It's between Waddle and Flowers. Jalen Warren's not even in the conversation for me.
51:14Yeah, I agree. The GOAT. Should I start Matthew Stafford today or Caleb Williams this weekend against the Panthers?
51:19I'd start Stafford. Stafford's pretty good against the Niners.
51:22I'm really excited about year two in the Ben Johnson offense for Caleb Williams.
51:26I know you've always been a bit of a Caleb Williams hater, D-Rowe, but Stafford against the Niners has been pretty good.
51:33I prefer to think of myself as a Caleb Williams realist.
51:36I feel like people tell themselves a lot of lies with Caleb Williams, but on the pro Stafford side, I'll just read
51:42off the stat lines that he had versus the 49ers in two games last year.
51:47389 passing yards, three passing scores. 25.6. Fantasy points.
51:50280 and four passing scores. 26.9 fantasy points. Those feel like pretty good stat lines, weren't they?
51:55Are you worried at all about the travel stuff in terms of this game tonight?
51:59No, because I feel like what's going to happen with that regardless, however this game plays out, this is going to be
52:06the hindsight bias of all time of yesteryear. Like it's where it's like, yeah, whichever team wins, everybody's going to come out
52:12and be like, yeah, you know what? You see?
52:15That's exactly what they should have done. They should have not flown into the last second.
52:19Other team wins. See? This is what they should have done.
52:23They should have flown in like two weeks prior and been there and set up shop and gotten condos.
52:28I mean, come on. You know that's going to play out.
52:32Nobody has a real conviction, but they'll all play armchair quarterback after it happens and be like, ah, we knew.
52:38See, we knew. I think you are 100% correct.
52:40Yeah. Let's go to a question here from Paul.
52:43Excuse me. Howdy. 12 man PPR. Anyone you would trade.
52:46Tyler Warren. Jalen Warren. Waddle. Nico Collins. Tootin. Jonathan Brooks.
52:49Brian Thomas Jr. Michael Wilson. Anybody you'd be looking to trade here.
52:52Debra. I know you're going to say Brian Thomas Jr.
52:55If you can get anything. If you can get anything.
52:58If you could package Brian Thomas Jr. With like.
53:01I'm intrigued by trading Michael Wilson. He was not the number one target.
53:05Lump them together. When Martin Harris Jr. Was healthy.
53:07Go find the Michael Wilson believer in your league.
53:10There is one in every league. And there might be a Brian Thomas Jr.
53:14Believer. Exactly. Hopefully they're the same person. I was going to say.
53:18Yeah. They're the same person. And you're like. Hey.
53:20You want Michael Wilson? How about some Brian Thomas Jr.?
53:23I actually. You believe it? Come on. I think you could make a very compelling case.
53:28To trade away any of Tootin, Brooks, Thomas, or Wilson.
53:31Agreed. I think any of those last four names.
53:34I'm pretty open to the idea of trading them.
53:36Obviously it depends what you get back. But. I think they.
53:40There's a world where a month from now. We look back and say.
53:43September 10th. Was the high point of value for all four of those guys.
53:48Like as soon as the game started being played.
53:50It went down. I could see that happening. Michael Wilson and Brian Thomas Jr.
53:54Or. Chris Godwin. Chris Godwin for me. Okay. Michael Wilson and Brian Thomas Jr.
53:59Or. Roma Dunze. Oh. Rome. I'm not scared off by the foot.
54:02I've been all in on Rome this summer. Rome.
54:05Rome easily. Same. Same thing. Or Quentin Johnston. It's harder because it's more of a projection.
54:10I definitely feel like the upside is really high for Johnston.
54:13But that's harder to say. Like. Like. To me that feels like you should probably be able to do.
54:18Maybe not quite a one for one. But closer to that.
54:22And not need to package both. Would be my guess.
54:25Based on just where they're ranked right now. What about.
54:28Brian Thomas Jr. Or Michael Wilson. For JMO. I think.
54:31I want JMO. I would want JMO too. So yeah.
54:34All those could be possible. Yeah. Those. We're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the 30s.
54:39I don't feel like I'm out of mesquise. Like.
54:41Those feel like possible trades. Right. Worm. A lot.
54:44I mean. We're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the mid 30s.
54:48In draft season. Yeah. Or a lot of receivers you just threw out there were ranked in like the mid 20s.
54:55That. That feels like on paper. It's doable. Maybe.
54:57You've run into people who aren't that interested in them.
55:00But. I'd look at people who. Any managers in your league who need some depth at receiver.
55:05And say. Hey. I would. I'm not asking for a star.
55:08Give me. You know. A guy like a Dunze.
55:11Who might be number two. Or DJ Moore. I'd take DJ Moore.
55:15Yeah. Maybe. I would take any of those guys.
55:17And here's the thing. Maybe you take Brian Thomas Jr.
55:20And Michael Wilson. You package them together. DJ Moore has a down game versus the Texans this week.
55:26And you go. Try to get DJ Moore after a down week.
55:29That's a good point too. You don't have to make the trade this week.
55:33No. You don't have to. Let week one. Let.
55:36Let week one. Play out. Possibly. And then you go see who's the buy low.
55:40Another question here. Bros. JSN for Walker and Alave.
55:43JSN for Pickens and Brown. Two options here. I have Javante, Warren, Dobbins, Waddle, Christian Watson, and Godwin.
55:48So JSN for Walker and Alave. Or JSN for Pickens and Brown.
55:52I would do either. If I'm given the choice.
55:55I'm taking the Pickens one. But I would do either.
55:58Ooh. Which one do I prefer is actually a really good question.
56:01Here's the thing. Get this done ASAP. Because as soon as the Darnall news drops.
56:06When it drops. You're not getting this trade done.
56:08Seems like a little positive about possibly they got good news on Darnall's.
56:12Well they got good news that he didn't have a hip fracture.
56:16Yeah. Him possibly having a labral tear is still.
56:18Could be. He has that. He is out for the season.
56:22I. Oh man. I'm actually really torn. I would say either.
56:25I would prefer. I think I might prefer Walker and Alave to Pickens and Brown.
56:29But it's like I totally. But again. It's. Go on the other side.
56:33I think either one of these is a win.
56:36I would do either one of these in a heartbeat.
56:39Yeah. Totally fair to be on the other side of that one.
56:42All right. Ian Thomas or Darren Waller after losing Bowers.
56:45This is a guillotine league. Waller. You want to get it right.
56:49Losing Bowers in a guillotine league is tough. Waller.
56:51That's brutal. But I don't feel good about either.
56:54Yeah. All right. How about a stripling or Pittman in PPR?
56:57And yes, I use the tools because I have MVP membership.
57:01Let's go. Danny. Love to hear it. Oh. Stripling.
57:03I don't. I don't. This is not. This is not.
57:06No, I don't like Michael Pittman this week. I'd rather take the upside case and just the unknown of stripling than then rolling out Michael Pittman from Scott.
57:1416 team PPR flex spot digs or wicks. Obviously digs with a really tough matchup, but he is the better player.
57:21Yeah, I think you get. Wicks is another guy I'd like to have on my team.
57:25I'm not really starting him a week one. No.
57:28Same. How confident are we in Tucker craft for week one?
57:31That is confident as you can be for a guy that's probably going to.
57:36Yeah. Play 60% of the snaps probably have like somewhere around a 60 to 70% route per drop.
57:41Drop back rate. I don't love Tucker craft this week, but again, you got to do is get me in zone.
57:47He could definitely do that to be a tight end one this week.
57:51So. PPR Warren or Mason. Jalen Warren. I'm going Jalen Warren based off the matchup and everything.
57:56We've already. I got. I think the Steelers just roll this week, man.
58:00I really think they're going to roll. Yeah. I need a tight end until Bowers gets back.
58:05Should I pick up Chica Conco, Terrence Ferguson or Greg Dulcich?
58:08I would. We've been talking about how you don't need to start right away.
58:12But Ferguson and Dulcich. Yeah. If you can. I mean, I would be dashing Ferguson for sure.
58:17Dulcich for this week. I would pick up both of them in the case that Brock Bowers is out much longer than
58:24the Raiders would like to blow smoke and tell people.
58:27Yeah. Tonight's game, stripling or Kittle? Stripling. I just, I don't.
58:30It's a horrible matchup for Kittle. I don't know what his route chair looks like.
58:34No clue. I have to drop one of these three.
58:37Who would you recommend? Lloyd, Corum or Bill? For me, it's Bill.
58:41For me, it's Corum. I can't drop Corum. I get it.
58:44I understand it. If Kyle goes down, Corum's a top five running back.
58:48Well, I understand that. But if Bill could easily just be the starting running back for the commanders from the word go.
58:55So I can't drop a possible starter for a handcuff.
58:57I wouldn't want to drop any of the three.
59:00I don't want to drop any of the three.
59:03But if I got to drop any of them, I'm dropping the handcuff guy.
59:07Full PPR, Brooks or Wandale Robinson? Full PPR, I'll go Wandale.
59:10I just don't know what Jonathan Brooks' workload looks like.
59:13I think full PPR, Wandale is actually a really sneaky start this week.
59:17So I'm with you there. I can see it.
59:20How about Kittle or Kelsey? I've not really talked to you about Kelsey all summer, I don't think.
59:25Debra, where are you at on Kelsey for the season?
59:28I think he's going to be a low-end tight end one.
59:31I think he's not going to be amazing. I think he's going to get a lot of target volume.
59:37And we're just rolling back the Chiefs offense. Like, Kelsey was not bad on a per-route basis last year.
59:42He just didn't get the touchdowns. If he gets the touchdowns this year, he's got top five to seven upside.
59:48But I think it just comes back to target volume.
59:51So yeah, I mean, Kelsey for this week. How about two defenses with awesome matchups?
59:56Eagles defense or Jacksonville? Well, I think both are going to do very well.
60:00Shannon, I'm going to go Eagles. I feel like Jacksonville.
60:03I feel like most people would say Jacksonville just because, like, Cleveland is going to be the auto-start defense against them.
60:09But the thing about Cleveland is could they just, like, could Deshaun Watson look that god-awful and then they say, fine, we're
60:16going to try to hide him and just give carries to Quenchon Judkins.
60:19And then you're not getting the turnovers. Because you've got to score points.
60:23You've got to get sacks. You've got to get turnovers to get fantasy points.
60:27We are going to get dropbacks from Jayden Daniels behind that offensive line.
60:31We're going to get it. Great call. You've convinced me.
60:34I go Eagles. Half PPR, bench one, Watson, Gainwell, Marvin Harrison Jr.
60:38Definitely not Watson. So who are you benching between Gainwell and Marvin Harrison Jr.?
60:42Marv, I like Gainwell a ton this week. I wonder, I feel like the Cardinals might have to throw a ton this
60:48week to keep up with the Chargers. They might.
60:51But who is your true wide receiver one? Oh, wait, it's Trey McBride.
60:55Yeah. Yeah, it's fair. I mean, obviously you're definitely not benching Watson.
60:59So it's between the others. I think it's reasonable to go the direction you went.
61:03We've got like two minutes left here. So we'll get through as many as possible.
61:07Choose two of three. Waddle, Higgins, Wilson. First two.
61:10DK or Downs? DK, not close. Bench Downs everywhere you got him.
61:14Don't play him this week. Jackson Dart or Jaden Daniels?
61:17Dart. Kenneth Walker or David Montgomery in PPR? K-Dub.
61:19But the answer is really both. Brian Thomas Jr.
61:22or Carnell Tate in full PPR? Tate. Not close.
61:25I'm not playing Brian Thomas Jr. anywhere. Tootin or Lloyd in Standard?
61:28Lloyd. Who do you think gets the red zone workworm?
61:31Lloyd or Tootin? This week. Lloyd. Good. Well, if he's healthy.
61:34Exactly. Yeah. He gets the red zone work. PPR, Flex.
61:37Jonathan Brooks or Trey Tucker? Okay. This is the Brooks line.
61:41Going Brooks. I will not play Trey Tucker. I do not have any faith at all in Trey Tucker.
61:46None. How about Tootin or Evans in the Flex?
61:49I'll play Evans. I have a lot of concerns.
61:51I just don't know what Tootin's role is going to be.
61:55It's not a great matchup for him either. Parker Washington or Marshawn Lloyd?
61:59Lloyd. Jeez, my favorite sons. It's Washington. I know you like Lloyd.
62:02I like Lloyd. No, but you're right. It's Washington.
62:05It's Washington. We got to have a limit somewhere on Lloyd.
62:08No, I agree. I like Lloyd. It's Washington. Yeah.
62:11Actually, another question here. Same one. Start one PPR.
62:13Adunze, DJ Moore, Jordan Mason. I don't know what the Rome Adunze news is going to be like between now and Sunday.
62:20I'll go ahead and tell you, DJ Moore, I don't feel really great about any of these guys just because of the Rome foot stuff.
62:27If we get good injury updates on Adunze, he is the pick.
62:31If we get a good injury update, then it's Rome.
62:34I will say that. But right now in the dark on a Thursday, I don't know what that's going to look like for the rest of the week.
62:42Trevor Lawrence or Jared Goff? Goff. Not close. Agreed.
62:45Mike Evans or Christian Watson? Watson. Not close. Agreed.
62:47Let's see if we see any more in the last few seconds here.
62:51Michael Mayer or Dalton Schultz? Mayer. Flex spot, full PPR.
62:54Pittman or Pollard? Pollard. Goff, Purdy, or Mayfield? It's four point per passing touchdown.
62:58Goff. Play the total, baby. Watson, Burden, Tate, or Mason for flex.
63:02It's full PPR. Watson. Watson. Yeah. Chuba or Lloyd, full PPR?
63:05Lloyd. Not close. All right. Let's do two more and get out of here.
63:09You already answered that one. Reed, Pittman, or Marvin Harrison Jr.
63:13in full PPR? This is the Marv line. I'm going Marv.
63:16I'm going Marv in here. All right. One more.
63:18Let's see if I can find a player we haven't really talked about.
63:22So not Christian Watson and not Parker Washington. Yeah.
63:25Golly. How about Love or Hubbard? Jeremiah Love. Jeremiah Love.
63:28Even with the ankle stuff. Yep. You're good with that.
63:31All right. I have no belief in Hubbard. We will go ahead and wrap things up there.
63:36Sorry we couldn't get to literally every question. Obviously, we get so many of these here, which is awesome.
63:42Head to the Discord. We're very happy to get all these questions.
63:45We really appreciate it. D-Row is very active on Discord.
63:48Go to his AMA channel. He will happily answer any and all questions that you have for him.
63:53Oh, we did get one more super chat. We'll get to that to be nice for that one.
63:59Christian Watson, Scadaboo, Quentin Johnson. Pick one. Watson. Watson.
64:01Let's go, Quincy. Unanimous. Get that dub this week, baby.
64:04Let's go. Yeah. Thank you. Seriously, if you have any other questions we didn't get to, I'm on social media.
