0:00This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. All right, welcome everybody to the Fantasy Pros Podcast.
0:04We are here recapping everything that happened week eight today.
0:07I am your host Matt Modai. I'm currently joined by Scott Bogman.
0:11Hopefully we will get the doc in here again.
0:13But Scott, you got your Steelers got to win.
0:16How'd your fantasy week go? Everything go well? Oh, no, not great.
0:19Had a couple donuts in my lineup from some guys.
0:22I had in one of my 16-man leagues, Baker was my quarterback.
0:25Ouch. Ouch. Yeah, yeah. We got to get the Army head coach in here to start running plays for this triple option.
0:31My God. But yeah, weird day. Lots of injuries.
0:34Yeah. Jaguars had some hideous uniforms on. Steelers beat down the Browns.
0:37I mean, it was a fun one for sure.
0:40Yeah, it was a fun Sunday. Yeah, I'm in a league where I have the best record most points for and I have Zay Flowers and Kenneth Walker.
0:48We were just talking offline about a buddy of mine in a different league, but I was feeling good about that league.
0:54And then next thing you know your season's flipped on its head.
0:57But yeah, hopefully we can get the doc in here to talk injuries or else me and you are putting our doctor
1:03hat on and we're going to try and diagnose these things.
1:06But yeah, so we'll talk injuries. We'll talk five storylines.
1:09We'll go through panic meter where we and you and you list a player or the comments list a player and then
1:15we give our panic on them and then we'll do some rapid fire questions at the end.
1:20But before we get the doc in here, I might as well go through the big injuries that we have here.
1:26Obviously, the biggest thing that we have the quarterbacks for the Ravens on the graphic here.
1:30You see Lamar Jackson thumb injury. I he's the coach came out said he's going to have surgery and be placed on IR.
1:37So we'll see what that timeline looks like if when we get the doc in here and then Snoop went down with turtle as well.
1:44And then we had Michael Wilson with a rib injury.
1:46He came out after the game and said he had two broken ribs, but got it through a sick touchdown in the fourth quarter.
1:53That should have won in the game. They won anyways doesn't matter.
1:57And then we have James Cook who returned got hurt returned and then got hurt again and then returned again.
2:02So we should be fine, but we'll see what we have there.
2:05And then a DJ Moore with a knee injury and Jeremiah love again with an ankle tough stuff there.
2:11We'll start with the Ravens because that's I mean the quarterbacks.
2:14I mean a quarterback too. You think like with that right behind Lamar Jackson right behind Josh Allen terms of quarterback to
2:20what do we do with the Ravens? I mean what's going on?
2:23Yeah, everybody asked to take a big downgrade right now.
2:26And you know, you kind of noticed that when these guys went out this game kind of got out of reach and
2:32then we saw more Justice Hill than Derrick Henry in terms of snaps.
2:36Right. So I think everybody takes a bit of a downgrade specifically because if we are down to Joe Feano who is
2:42also banged up, we didn't get a diagnosis, but they asked him at the podium and he said, yeah, I'm not 100 percent right now.
2:49And the next game is on Thursday. Look, Joe Feano was pretty good in college, right?
2:54I think this last season at UConn, 28 touchdowns, one interception.
2:57So very careful with the ball, you know, and he'll get not a full week, but three to four days of practice with the number ones.
3:04You would think here with Huntley being down and getting an MRI tomorrow.
3:07Lamar just on IR and maybe done for the season.
3:10I mean, his thumb looked gross. Yeah, not real good.
3:13He's going to be he's definitely not going to do the Kyler.
3:16No, no call of duty for him. So his thumb is shot.
3:20So, yeah, I just think everyone in Baltimore is probably going to have to take a downgrade, but it doesn't murder everybody.
3:26You know what I mean? Like it's not like Zay Flowers is unstartable at this point, but it might just be like
3:32Derrick Henry and say those are the only two that you can even trust.
3:36I would say Zay goes from a borderline RB one, two to a borderline RB two, three.
3:41And, you know, Derrick Henry is just going to see fewer touchdown opportunities with a quarterback that is going to be harder
3:47to drive into the red zone with. Yeah, it's been, you know, heading into this game.
3:51It was a tough last two weeks with Derrick Henry, but it was kind of like, all right, let's get Lamar back and then let's see what happens.
3:59And then we never really got Lamar out. I mean, we never really got Lamar back.
4:04We got to play one play. That's one play.
4:06Yeah. Yeah. He's a good sleeper. You love rookies in the second half, but if it's, even if it's, even if it's
4:12Snoop, I still wouldn't necessarily feel great about that.
4:15And then if it's, yeah, if it's your boy from, from Yukon, I definitely don't feel great about that.
4:20Um, hope, yeah, hopefully we can, we can get the doc on here just to ask about like what the prognosis is
4:26for, for Snoop with, with the turf toe. But the next one that we had was, was Michael Wilson.
4:32Now he had been kind of dealing with the rib injury heading into the game.
4:36He had been down the last couple of weeks, uh, which kind of funny last year with no Marv, Michael Wilson, that's when he ascended.
4:43It's when he blew up this year after the Marv trade, it wasn't great, but he had a great game came out
4:49after the game, said he had two rib injuries.
4:51I think what, and you can, you can feel free to disagree with me, but I think what we know about rib
4:58injuries is that it's a pain tolerance thing, but you can kind of wear flack jacket.
5:02You can get shot up and you can mostly play through it.
5:05Yeah. I mean, born got hurt too though. Right.
5:08Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is going to be like 25 targets to Trey McBride, uh, coming weeks here.
5:13And they, they lost two running backs to band night got hurt.
5:17Jeremiah love banged up as well. So yeah, man, this Cardinals offense took a massive hit.
5:21They did win after changing quarterbacks to their Minshew, but you do have to, uh, wonder, okay.
5:26So are we just straight going to Gardner Minshew?
5:28He is the backup. He's been the backup all year, or are we going to give Carson Beck a chance, right?
5:34Because this upcoming class is going to have a decent amount of quarterback.
5:38So if you want to draft your quarterback for the future, if you're picking very high, you probably need to see what you just took in Carson.
5:45Beck. So I don't think it'll be immediate. I think it'll be Gardner Minshew for the next week or two, at least.
5:52And if he doesn't keep winning, I don't know if they would go back to preset or if they would just say,
5:58all right, Beck, let's see what you got for the last five weeks of the season, six weeks of the season.
6:04So, but preset looked awful. I don't know if this is going to be a permanent move.
6:08I would assume it would be with Gardner Minshew taking over and then leading them to win the game in overtime on the road against the Cowboys.
6:16That was a really nice win there. But, um, yeah, that was, uh, we'll, we'll see what's going to happen with it, but you're right.
6:23Michael Wilson is all going to be pain tolerance.
6:25Can he do the blackjack like Mike Evans did, or does he need a week or two off before he can even try that?
6:32Yeah. Yeah. And we have, we'll talk about the Cardinals a little bit later.
6:36So I don't want to go too deep into the fantasy implications of stuff, but yeah, I think, I mean, Michael Wilson's playing, he's in your lineup.
6:43Uh, the next one that we have here is, is James cook.
6:47Now I mentioned, uh, when I brought up the recap or brought up the, the, the graphic, he had like crazy, awkward tackle.
6:53It was like one of the best examples of NFL players are, are not like the rest of us.
6:59Cause if I, I mean, I stubbed my toe and I'm out for, for three weeks, James cook got like, it was
7:05a crazy hit, but he came back in. Then he got hurt again, limped off.
7:09Then he came back in again, correct me if I'm wrong.
7:12I'm going to go ahead and guess that he's fine.
7:15The video of the second injury looked nothing like nothing crazy.
7:18Not that I'm a doctor. I'm not going to even pretend, but the fact that they put him back in, in a
7:24game that was pretty much out of reach makes it feel like, okay, it was, he got a little banked up and he's fine.
7:31Yeah. That's kind of what I'm assuming at this point, because you're right.
7:34Like that, that neck thing where he was evaluated for a concussion, he fell awkwardly on his neck and then an alignment fell on top of him.
7:42Yeah. And they were all waving for, uh, you know, the doctors to come over.
7:46He pops right back up and leaves. And then the other thing, uh, I believe was a, a, something with his leg.
7:52Yeah. So, you know, definitely nicked up, but he was in the game.
7:56So I'm going to assume he's okay until we hear otherwise.
7:59Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And if the game was close, maybe you could say, all right, that he was like, I'm going to gut it out.
8:06Um, and then the next one that we have here is DJ Moore.
8:10The poor guy just can't seem to stay healthy.
8:12I mean, he was dealing with that shoulder injury, got hurt.
8:15He missed a week. It came back. He re re injured, re injured it, missed two weeks by week, came back and out the knee injury.
8:22Um, I don't know. I didn't, I haven't seen anything on him.
8:26I don't know if, if, if you were able to see anything on DJ.
8:30I actually did. I heard the doc talking about this on his Instagram and, uh, he was saying that it didn't look too bad.
8:36Right. I luckily it's not the same thing that he's been dealing with, with the shoulder.
8:41It's a knee injury. Um, and what he had said was, look, it just really depends on severity.
8:46And we're not going to know that until probably tomorrow.
8:49So, uh, they, they didn't need him to go back in.
8:52So he didn't go back in. Uh, but this is something that guys have had and played the next week.
8:57So it's all dependent on severity. And we probably won't know that until tomorrow.
9:01Yeah. And he had a great game. I mean, he had an awesome, awesome catch.
9:05And I mean, Keon Coleman almost had a good game.
9:08Josh Allen just missed him on a, on a deep, deep shot there.
9:12So yeah, I mean, DJ Moore was somebody that I, you know, when he was injured, looking the body, I was looking
9:18to trade and I'm guessing that window is probably a little bit closed now that he had a good game.
9:24Um, and then the last one on the graphic here, share my love.
9:27We can kind of loop him in. Cause bam night got hurt as well.
9:31I mean, love, I mean, amazing prospect sprains his ankle in the preseason.
9:35And it looks like it's just going to be a lost rookie season.
9:38Yeah. I mean, this is, um, this is getting to be very frustrating, right?
9:42Like, and it seems like they probably should have just stuck them on IR and sat them out for six to eight
9:48weeks and then let them recover because that's, you know, the, the, it seems like the ankle sprains are now on a spectrum, right?
9:55It's not just like, okay, you're hurt. You're out three to four weeks.
9:59That's it. Come back. Uh, so this is one where it just, it's really unfortunate.
10:03Uh, I think you're right. But with all these other backs hurting, I know this Tyler Algier season right now.
10:09And I just dropped him in my big league, just dropped him.
10:12So, uh, very, very frustrating, but yeah, I think it's, uh, it's wheels up for Tyler Algier right now.
10:17Yeah. And whatever the quarterback situation is, I know there's so much unknown there.
10:21There's so much, and a Trey Benson's a free agent, just like a third round pick just a couple of years ago.
10:27Maybe they can bring it back. Um, and then there's some, some, some other names that we have here that we can
10:33just kind of do some, some quick hitters. So, uh, we mentioned the Cardinals running back.
10:38So Jake Ferguson left with an ankle injury. It just came out right before we hit record that it, um, it was
10:44deemed a low, uh, ankle sprain, not a high ankle sprain.
10:47Um, Kendrick Bourne, that one was a high ankle sprain, a Hunter Henry in the 4 PM game against the dolphins got hurt and he did not return.
10:55Um, I mean, uh, in terms of fantasy relevance, probably only, the only guys on that list you're starting is Hunter Henry.
11:01But my question is I've, I liked Eli Raritan.
11:04I mean, it used to be, they, they never did anything, but that's kind of changed the last couple of years.
11:09He's flashed if Henry's out. And I mean, we need to talk about like Trig on Henderson and AJ Brown, there's a ton of stuff with the Patriots.
11:17But if, if Hunter Henry's out, is Eli Raritan in your lineups?
11:21I, I, in my lineup, I don't know, but he's definitely an option, right?
11:25You're in a tight end premium. I have a league where we start two tight ends.
11:29Uh, you're in a deep league. He's definitely an option because he can score a touchdown, right?
11:34That, that is the whole reason you would put him in kind of the same reason why we're starting Hunter Henry, to
11:40be honest, not like he's racking up a hundred yard game.
11:43So, uh, yeah, I, he could definitely, he's on the radar.
11:46That's for sure. Yeah. And if, you know, at tight end, if you don't have one of the big names, you're kind
11:52of streaming the matchups and he's definitely somebody that in a good matchup, you can stream.
11:57Um, and then for Sunday night football tonight, we have Saquon Barkley.
12:00Um, I mean, just a weird situation going on with him.
12:03Uh, he, he missed a couple of weeks at the hamstring injury, re-injured it on the first play when he looked where he looked great.
12:10And then he was nagging at the whole game.
12:13I think he only played 10 snaps and then he had a back injury, but he's playing tonight.
12:18The Eagles are a mess. Um, I mean, it's Sunday night, so I'm guessing people already decided if they were going to start him or not.
12:25I decided not to in the league. Um, but you know, if you're, if you're facing that decision between like Roshon Johnson
12:31or something or Saquon Barkley, obviously you're starting Barkley there, but just curious, like from a fantasy perspective, what you think about Barkley?
12:37I mean, I'm very frustrated with it, right? Like, um, I don't like this half in half out stuff, like either just
12:44rule them out and place it, but they're so banged up at the, the running back.
12:48I know. And so he's, he's playing through it.
12:51And he said after the game, my hamstring was actually okay.
12:54It was my back that was bothering me, but I'm going to play through it.
12:58Don't know how much I believe that. Right. And I feel like some of those, we need, we need the, uh, we need the player injury index.
13:05Like we have the coach speak index, right? Yeah.
13:08Um, uh, I, he's going to be on a pitch count.
13:11It's going to be frustrating. So I think you probably made the right decision based, you know, depending on who you put in over him.
13:18Yeah. And I mean, like, um, Mitchell, you know, Elijah Mitchell, I'm assuming you're not messing with him even if sick, like if sick.
13:25Yeah. Nah, no. Like I like Will Shipley, you know, but he got hurt too.
13:29So I know Shipley was kind of my guy and tank was in there as well.
13:33Like they had viable guys, but these guys are all gone right now.
13:37So yeah, it's, uh, it's a tough scene to be an RB in Philly right now.
13:41I know tank, um, Damian Pierce even was, was looking good.
13:45And then players that missed this week, you know, we'll, we'll have to see, um, what, if the, we can get some,
13:51some thoughts on the doc, but come a nun guy.
13:54I, you know, I thought he was going to play, you know, he got hurt.
13:58You kind of, it seems like turf turf toes about a three week injury, but they keep listing turf slash thumbs.
14:04I wonder if the thumb is, is bothering him more.
14:06Uh, Jordan Tyson, who, um, looked like who obviously has missed the entire season, looking like he might return, uh, AJ Brown
14:13and a Trayvon Henderson with the Patriots and then Bruce Hall.
14:16Um, I, yeah. Anything you have on those guys or just, I think all those guys are pretty close to playing this week.
14:22So I would expect them to go next week.
14:25Now I'll start AJ Brown. I'll start Brie saw.
14:27I don't like what they're doing with the running back scenario, new England.
14:31So until we see Tray Henderson get in there and go off, I'm, I'm just, unless I'm absolutely desperate and to have
14:37injuries and by weeks and all that stuff, and only two teams on a bi-week next week, you should be better in
14:43a better position or have better options out there.
14:45I don't want to roll Henderson and I love him and I loved him coming in, but I might have to take the L on that one.
14:53He's been banged up and they do not know how to use him.
14:57And you know, he came out of Ohio state like praise for his past blocking and he's been terrible as a, as
15:03like a blitz pickup pass blocker and stuff. And he's, he's just not going to play for, for Rabel and not many
15:09teams are going to want to play. Um, the interesting name, uh, is Jordan Tyson because I mean, he's dealt with the hamstring injuries throughout his entire career.
15:17I mean, he looked incredible in training camp and every, all the talk out of new wing or out of new Orleans
15:23was how good he looked and then he re-injured it.
15:26He missed a couple months. I'm assuming you're probably not starting him in his first game back, but I mean, I'm, I'm intrigued.
15:32Yeah, you should be. He's a supremely talented, right?
15:35Yeah. But he is Mr. Glass. This dude has been injured in college for the last two seasons, his initial NFL season.
15:41He gets hurt right before the season and he came in and didn't do a lot of the stuff in the combine
15:47with the hamstring injury and then got almost all the way through it.
15:51And then another hamstring injury. So, uh, very intriguing prospect.
15:53It could be very, very high end, but whoo, you are rolling the dice starting Jordan Tyson.
15:58Like, let's see him first. Yeah, for sure. And I mean, Bailey's look good.
16:02Uh, Jawan Johnson's kind of, kind of, um, he's fallen off after a hot start.
16:06So there's a shock has looked terrible too recently.
16:09Like ever since that, the broken hand thing, he's looked bad.
16:12So, uh, yeah, that's, you know, this can work out really well.
16:15If you have a spot on your bench, go ahead and grab him and stash him.
16:20But, uh, starting him as a different story. Yeah, for sure.
16:23Yeah. He's been sitting in my IR and I'm going to, I'm going to see how he does for a week before
16:29starting him, but all right, we'll, we'll move on.
16:31We'll talk storylines, but before we do, we got a quick video to show you guys.
16:36All right. And before we talk storylines, I want to talk to you guys about poly market.
16:41So basketball season here, I know, I know we're talking about the NFL, but basketball seasons here and a new way to
16:47trade on it is this new prediction market called a poly market.
16:50Poly market is a prediction market stock exchange for sports, buying in, selling out on your terms.
16:55They're so confident that you'll never go back to the other guys that they're giving you a free $25 on your first trade.
17:01When you deposit just 10, every bucket, every block, every scintillating matchup in basketball trades on poly market.
17:06So download the poly market app today. Use FPPOD.
17:09When you sign up that's FPPOD to get $25 free after you deposit just 10.
17:13So, all right, let's talk storylines. Um, like you mentioned that not a big bi-week, which is good.
17:18Only two teams on by Pittsburgh and Tennessee, not a ton of fantasy relevance there.
17:22Aside from maybe Tony Pollard just being the best running back in the NFL.
17:26Um, but we can talk, um, feeling Warren wrong, but I understand.
17:29And Rico Dowdle. I mean, all the running backs.
17:32Um, but the first one that I wanted to talk about, and again, these aren't necessarily in order of importance, but what's
17:38going on with the running backs in, in, uh, Las Vegas.
17:41Cause I, you talked about, um, dropping, uh, I think it was Algier right before I dropped Mike Washington jr.
17:47Like right before, because I wasn't going to start him and I forget what I think I picked up, uh, Seth McGowan
17:53or somebody like just to any trade anyways. But so Ashton Jinty, two carries four targets.
17:57Now he did a lot, especially, I mean, it was one big target within Mike Washington jr.
18:0225, pretty inefficient, but still 25 carries. Ashton Jinty said that it was communicated to him before the game that he would get fewer carries.
18:09That was per Ryan McFadden, the snap count 38 out of 63 for Washington.
18:13Jinty had 25 out of 63. It seems like this is punishment for what he said about the jets, but any, what are your takeaways here?
18:20Yeah. I mean, it is the dreaded split, right?
18:23Which we hate in fantasy. And that's kind of where I think we're going to carries for Jinty.
18:28I know they've been trying to baby him a little bit.
18:31Maybe this is one of those games where like, we're just going to see what we have more with Mike Washington and
18:37give him more carries and let Jinty eat it up.
18:40So it was 38 snaps for Washington to 25 for Jinty.
18:43But obviously I would still say that Jinty is more valuable specifically in PPR leagues, right?
18:47And, you know, before this game, I don't know.
18:50I don't know what it looked like yet. I don't have numbers for it yet.
18:54But in terms of carries inside the five, it was over 80% for Jinty still.
18:58So I think he's more likely to score a touchdown.
19:01He's more likely to catch passes. So specifically in a PPR league, he is more valuable in a standard.
19:06They're probably pretty even at this point. I would still lean towards Jinty a little bit.
19:11I don't think that this is going to repeat.
19:13I don't think it's going to be 25 to two.
19:16Anyway, I do think it'll probably be like, you know, 17 to 14.
19:20And then Jinty catches more passes, something like that moving forward.
19:23I don't think this is permanent, but apparently they're saying it was communicated to him that he'll get fewer carries.
19:29I don't know if that's for a week or for moving forward, though.
19:32So I assume that is going to continue in this type of split, which is gross.
19:37It just moves both of their, you know, Washington moves way up.
19:40But Jinty moves from a, you know, RB1 to maybe an RB2, RB3 borderline guy now.
19:44Yeah. And it's, I mean, Jinty, you can forgive last year being inefficient because that team was just a mess.
19:50But I mean, this Raiders team is not nearly as bad.
19:53Their offense hasn't been bad and he has been so inefficient on the ground.
19:57You wonder if this was always going to happen.
20:00Like he's been fantastic through the air. So his fantasy finishes, he hasn't killed you.
20:04He's not been in a Mario and Hampton, obviously, or anything like that because he's been so valuable through the air.
20:10But yeah, I mean, if he's getting, he's getting two carries.
20:13That's, I mean, you can't have that. It's worthless.
20:15Yeah. Yeah. He was in near the goal line.
20:18I saw him in on some of those sets.
20:20I don't know. No, I see the snap count, but I don't see the goal line, the third down, all that stuff.
20:26Right. All that information available quite yet, but it's, it's 100% concerning.
20:30So I will be, if we look in, it was Washington way more in at the goal line than it was Jinty.
20:36Then I'll be more concerned, but I do think it was still Jinty when they got down there.
20:41Yeah, I believe, I believe you're right. I had red zone on, so I wasn't dialed into that game specifically, but I believe you're right.
20:48I remember seeing him on the field. I mean, so do you think that it's possible that whoever has Ashton Jinty is
20:54going to be panicking and that he's a trade for target?
20:57Are you kind of just washing your hands clean and saying, I don't want any part of this?
21:02I, I, you know, if someone is really panicking and wants to sell him dirt cheap, then yes, I would go after him.
21:09I just don't, he was such a high draft pick.
21:11I don't think his value is going to allow someone to trade him that cheap.
21:16And I don't think you're going to want to pay up what the current cost is for Jinty.
21:21So like I said, if someone is panicking, yes, but I doubt there's too many people that will sell him too cheap.
21:27Yeah, you're probably right. I mean, it's worth an offer.
21:30The only thing here is that let's not forget that, that this Raiders coaching staff came from Seattle where they were taking
21:36Kenneth Walker off the field for Zach Charbonnet. So it wouldn't be that shocking if it ended up being closer to a 50, 50 carry.
21:43But like you said, if, if Jinty is getting a ton of passing work and he's getting the goal line work, he'll,
21:49he'll still be very good for fantasy. He might just not be the Charbonnet.
21:53Yeah, honestly. Yeah. Yeah. How funny is that? So, all right.
21:56The next one, and we did talk a lot about the Ravens in the injury segment, but I do, I did want
22:02to spend more time here because moving forward, we just need to know what to do with the Ravens.
22:07But Lamar Jackson out, uh, not looking good, at least out for four games, probably more than that.
22:12Tyler Huntley injured turf toe. The third string quarterback injured with some sort of a banged up knee injury.
22:18We saw Zay flowers goose. Uh, Henry didn't kill you 11 carries 53 yards and a touchdown.
22:22But what do we know about Derek Henry is that he's much better when the team is winning and when the team
22:28has leads and they can just feed him carries on the third string quarterback.
22:32You know, I don't know if necessarily that's going to be the case.
22:36So you're probably not benching these guys. You're definitely moving them down.
22:39And like you said, is there anybody else worth starting on the team?
22:43There isn't. I mean, I don't know that on a week to week basis there was, there was anyway.
22:48Yeah. At this point, like lane is a deep league play for a touchdown upside.
22:52Right. Uh, Mark Andrews is worthless at this point.
22:55So who cares? Uh, so it was just Zay and Derek Henry anyway.
22:59So like you said, you're probably still going to keep those guys in your lineup.
23:03I completely understand if you want to avoid Zay, if you want to try to trade him, uh, in a 10 man,
23:09uh, you know, I don't think, I don't think there's any scenario where I cut Zay, but I wouldn't think it's the craziest move.
23:16If they say that, Hey, look, Huntley is going to miss six weeks and Lamar's out for the season.
23:21So it's just this, this third string guy, right?
23:24Uh, Joe Feano, but I do kind of, I like Feano coming in.
23:27I was a little surprised he was undrafted. Uh, I look looking up the stats here, 3000, uh, over 3000 yards last
23:33year, 34, 48, 28 touchdowns, one pick through six picks to 48 touchdowns in his, uh, collegiate career.
23:38It doesn't mean much in the NFL specifically on, uh, you know, this game is coming up in four days for Thursday night football.
23:45So this week is really bad, but I don't want to panic too much and drop Zay or trade Henry cheap or anything like that.
23:52Even if it is Feano moving forward, it's the difference between trying to talk to your friends over the music at a
23:58bar and having dinner where you can actually hear each other between getting food delivered and cooking something, you know, she's going to love.
24:05It's the difference between a rough nicotine pouch and on plus nicotine pouches with Nico silk mesh, no corners, no rough edges,

24:38Winning your league means knowing your roster, watching the waiver wire and remembering the move.
24:42You said you would make if one injury report broke the right way.
24:46That is where a custom app can actually make sense and you can build it yourself on base 44 today.
24:52Let's say you're building your own weekly fantasy command center.
24:54You add your roster, your league settings and the players you're watching.
24:58Then you have one place to think through waivers, trades and lineup decisions before Sunday gets here.
25:02Describe the software you want in your own words.
25:05Explain how you want it to work, what you want to see and what should happen next.
25:10You get a real app with real data and results that you can use the entire season.
25:14And that's just one example of something you can build on base 44.
25:18Whatever you imagine an app, a tool, a website comes headache free with database login, backend and hosting built in and already handled.
25:24Start for free upgrade. When you're ready, go to base 44.com today.
25:28Yeah, definitely not drop. I'm with you there. I think that's a little too much.
25:32I mean, people are going to see that he goosed and say, well, if this is what's going to happen every time
25:38this quarterback plays, he's not worth it. But that's, I mean, when two quarterbacks get hurt, you kind of just have to throw that game away.
25:45Not every quarterback is Brock Purdy and could come in as a third string quarterback and be good.
25:50We saw the commanders. He honestly wasn't bad. I call him Zach Galifianakis.
25:54I forget his actual name, but he actually wasn't bad.
25:57So maybe we should be giving Fiano a little bit more heat here.
26:01But the question I have is, is anything like, so just as Hill, they're going to be losing more.
26:06They're going to be passing more. And it's, it's an easy check down for young rookie quarterback.
26:11Does he become, you know, flex worthy in your eyes?
26:13Flex worthy? Probably not. Just because with a quarterback this young, specifically this week, like how much, how much are you going to even be on the field?
26:21It might be a lot of three and outs.
26:24Jacksonville is pretty hot right now. So that's going to be, it's, that's difficult.
26:28I mean, in a deeper league, sure. Right. I take him over some Ajay P Ryan at this point, but not too many other guys.
26:35Cool. All right. That makes sense. Here we can move on to the next team with a bunch of injuries and a
26:41quarterback that started that didn't finish the game. But so Jacoby percent benched and a ton of situation, like just a ton
26:47of stuff going on with the Cardinals. We lost two running backs.
26:50Tell her a year just blew up 147 yards on 11 carries and a touchdown five receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown through the air.
26:58Just amazing game. And then Michael Wilson, after having three down games in a row, eight receptions on 15 targets, 111 yards touchdown team McBride.
27:05You know, he ho-hum seven receptions, eight targets, 75 yards and a touchdown.
27:08A lot of this was with, um, not Jacoby Brissett, but with, um, Gardner Minshew.
27:12So, I mean, what the heck are we doing here?
27:15I don't even know where to start. I mean, look, if Wilson's going to be okay, we know Trey McBride's going to be fine.
27:22It's just figuring out, like, I don't know. I kind of feel like in terms of fantasy, Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett are the Spider-Man meme.
27:29You know what I mean? Fair. Like pointing at each other.
27:32They're kind of the same guy. I don't expect a huge drop off with Minshew.
27:36And in fact, he looked better this week when he took over, obviously.
27:40So I'm not too afraid of this offense. Now Kendrick Bourne being gone.
27:44And then if, uh, Michael Wilson's going to miss some time, we might get triple coverage on Trey McBride because who the hell else did they have?
27:51They just put Brooks on IR last week too and traded Marvin.
27:55So they're not like Simi Fayoko or somebody like, I don't even know who it is on the roster.
28:00It would be a Fayoko. I think Reggie Virgil got hurt as well.
28:03And then Devin Duvernay. So on the practice squad, they have my guy, Trey Wallace, a third from Ole Miss, uh, Shedrick
28:10Jackson and they did sign Zay Jones back. So, uh, they have some guys on there, but also what's going on with the, the running backs here.
28:17So I think Tyler O'Gear, it's wheels up for him.
28:20Currently it's wheels up for Trey McBride. I, I think it's going to be Minshew, but like we kind of mentioned before,
28:26what are we doing with Carson Beck? Right? Yeah.
28:29Is Carson Beck going to get a look? Is it just straight to Gardner Minshew?
28:33Is it, let's see how many games Minshew wins in a month and then go to Carson Beck.
28:38Uh, and then, and then we really don't know what we have when Carson Beck comes in.
28:43But for now I'm okay with these guys as long as they're healthy.
28:46It's just who is healthy. Yeah. The health is obviously a big thing.
28:50Yeah. I mean, you're right. That's Kobe were said in Gardner Minshew are probably similar to your quarterbacks.
28:55The, I just don't like change. Like we knew with Jacoby Brissette, he was going to, he was going to hyper target these guys.
29:02I don't like it when things are different, you know, give me, give me status quo.
29:06Give me, I don't care if in the first half they don't do anything.
29:10Cause you know, they're going to get those garbage time points.
29:13And they didn't let Jacoby Brissette do that this week.
29:16They, they benched him and he was bad. So I'm not saying that they made a mistake.
29:21Gardner Minshew won them the game, but. I mean, they might go to Brissette, you know, it would not be that shocking
29:27if they go right back to him and, you know, just say, Hey, look, we just paid this guy.
29:32It was a bad game. Uh, so we went to Brissette and we won, but, uh, or we went to Minshew and
29:38we won, but, uh, I'm so used to saying we went to Brissette.
29:42I know. But, uh, but we're going back to our guy.
29:45I just don't think that happens. I think once you bench him, uh, you know, it's probably Minshew season right now.
29:51And I know a lot of people are happy about it because he's helped people before.
29:55Yeah. And they want, like they came back and they want, so it's like, yeah, if he, if he looked bad, then, then maybe not.
30:02But yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot of weight.
30:05We'll have to see. So the next one, um, I want to talk about the bangles of like every week.
30:11It's the same story. Jamar chase and Jamar chase hasn't had an amazing year.
30:15He's been fine, but he hasn't had like the Jamar chase wide receiver one type year.
30:19Him and T Higgins absolutely blew up roughly disappointing game from chase Brown.
30:23Again, he didn't kill you, but he went lower than I know he's got it.
30:27I mean, he had one called back, of course.
30:29Um, but he, like I said, he didn't, he didn't kill you.
30:33He went lower than his projection, but he had a bunch of targets, a bunch of receptions and he had a rock
30:39like just under a hundred total yards. But, but still, I mean, I keep saying, I keep coming on here saying it's going to come for chase Brown.
30:47It's going to come for chase Brown. And it, and it hasn't yet.
30:50Is this, you think this is just what it's going to be the rest of the season for him?
30:56Um, no, I like, I, I think that he had, he had way more snaps than P Ryan and way more touches this week.
31:02Right. Uh, 51 snaps to 26 on a 74 snaps.
31:0533. He ran chase Brown, ran more routes than P Ryan had snaps in this game.
31:10So I hope we get exactly what we saw this week.
31:13It's just chase Brown gets a little more and gets in the end zone moving forward in because this is the bangles I know.
31:19And I'm used to uncomfortable with, right? Yeah. The ones that suck on defense are really good on offense and they have
31:26to go point for point with the Titans. Right.
31:28Like that, this is what we want from these guys.
31:31So I hope we see much more of this.
31:33It looked better for chase Brown. I would buy him low right now.
31:37I still think I would, I know he's been frustrating, uh, but if you can get him cheap, I think I'd go do that.
31:44I agree with you. I just feel like the boy who cried wolf at this point.
31:48Cause I've, I've, this is my fourth time coming on here.
31:51And this is the fourth time I'm telling you to buy low on chase Brown.
31:55It's like, we're going to be week 18 and I'm going to like, but it's expected fantasy points, but in dynasty, you're going to buy him.
32:03You're right. Right. I understand. No, that's actually where I'm not in dynasty, but, um, yeah, I, I agree with you.
32:09It's, it's really easy to be frustrated about what's happening and hard to remove yourself when you have him on your team.
32:15But like you said, he, I mean, you get nine targets, eight receptions, still got 12 carries to, I think what, four from P Ryan.
32:22P Ryan had one reception on one target. Like it wasn't anything close to a 50, 50 split.
32:27You're a hundred percent right. That look, we're halfway through the whole season at this point, not even just the regular season.
32:33Yeah. And we're still saying buy low, buy low because it's been bad.
32:36But this, this type of a game is a very good sign for, for the bangles, right?
32:41Like just bad defense, good offense. Burrow has to throw and Burrow being upright.
32:45It's just a big deal at this point. So I think it is going to be moving forward.
32:50I would bet on it. Yeah. And then with, with Jason T Higgins, the biggest surprise is that, I mean, T Higgins
32:56has been so boomer bus his entire career. He's pretty much just boomed this year.
33:01Their only bus game was when he was, when he was injured and he, I mean, he played the game.
33:06He played basically his normal snaps, but he just wasn't a hundred percent.
33:10Other than that, I mean, he's been, he's been fantastic.
33:13Yeah. He's, I got, I have T Higgins on a lot of spots cause he, he falls in every draft I do.
33:19He falls cause everyone's a wild chases. They're T Higgins.
33:21And getting, they're both ones. They're two number ones on the same team.
33:25Chase is better, but Higgins still really good. Yeah.
33:28And they need, they need each other. Like when, when like T Higgins has always been somebody that's missed three to five games a year.
33:35And Jamar chase is never as good without T Higgins.
33:37They need each other. Um, and then the last one, so you know, this, this fifth and final one, I have written down Justin Jefferson.
33:44I also wanted to talk about like a Blake Corum versus Kyron Williams split.
33:48Uh, and then Kyron Williams got like 10 carries to, to salt that game away.
33:52So the, the carries ended up evening out. So we'll stick with Justin Jefferson, but he was somebody that I was scared to draft this year.
34:00I mentioned that on a lot of shows and he was frustrated after the game.
34:04I think, you know, commented, he didn't want to talk to the media.
34:08He had a, I mean, amazing touchdown catch that just reminds you how good he is, but five receptions on 33 yards,
34:14no games this year with a hundred yards. The closest he came was in week one with Carson Wentz where he had
34:2092 and he, I think had two touchdowns. And he's got three games this year with 50 plus yards.
34:25Now he did get injured early in a game and then he missed a week and they had a buy.
34:31So it hasn't been a full season for him, but still we saw this last year.
34:35Like we know how good Justin Jefferson is, but we also know that if your quarterback isn't good, it doesn't matter how good the receiver is.
34:42So what are we doing with Justin Jefferson? Yeah, I think this is this one.
34:47I can't sit here and tell you like, Oh, I'm still super flowering on him.
34:51Like, uh, chase Brown or, or, uh, others. It's so frustrating because Kyler stinks and they don't have another option.
34:56Carson Wentz is not any better than Kyler. Uh, this is the guy that they decided to go with.
35:02It might've been better if they stuck with McCarthy.
35:04I know, I know. It's just so frustrating. And, um, I mean, I think we just need to start viewing him as a wide receiver too.
35:12At this point, not a wide receiver one, he's still going to have a ton of targets, but him and Kyler are not on the same page.
35:19This is what, this is what I thought was wrong with Marvin, right?
35:23Was Kyler. And then Kyler leaves and Marvin still sucks.
35:26So I was like, okay, well maybe that's good for Kyler.
35:29It's not, they, they were both not good. Yeah.
35:31So, uh, I think, I think the Vikings are going to be on the hunt for a quarterback again next year.
35:37You kind of hope that this would turn out like, okay, well Sam Donald and we give him an extension and he
35:43looks good, but he, it's just, uh, he doesn't fit and they're not adjusting.
35:47They should go get a running back. They should go get a running back and run the ball way more.
35:53I just don't know if they're going to end up doing it.
35:56Yeah. I, if you can, I, I'm out on Justin Jefferson.
35:59I had him last year and I ended up trading him for a pretty good price.
36:04Once McCarthy came back, cause Justin Jefferson was actually pretty good with Wentz.
36:07Like I agree with you that if your goal is to win a game, if you're the Vikings, that's what you're trying to do.
36:14Then they're probably equal. But I know from a fantasy perspective, Carson Wentz will provide more fantasy value than Kyler Murray for the ancillary weapons.
36:21He was good with Justin Jefferson last year. He was good in week one week two.
36:25Wentz started and played that whole game, but that was the monsoon against the bear.
36:30So nobody really performed well from a fantasy perspective, but once I view is like James Winston, where he's going to throw
36:36one to three interceptions, he's going to have some, some crazy plays, but I think you will get fantasy relevance.
36:41That's why I was kind of happy that the Vikings lost because you know, they're going to go 18 and Oh, with
36:47the, with the worst team, like worst 18 and a team in 17, no team in NFL history.
36:52So at least they lost. Maybe they go to Wentz if they keep losing games.
36:57And that's, I think what you want. If you have Justin Jefferson, I would much rather have Carson Wentz as the quarterback for Justin Jefferson than Kyler Murray.
37:04If you're okay at wide receiver, would you flip Jefferson for chase Brown?
37:08Oh, I would do that in a, I would do that in a heartbeat.
37:12I, I, yeah, I, I'm in a league with, with chase Brown and the manager who has Justin Jefferson's good at receiver and I I'm, I'm good.
37:20No, thank you. I'd much, I'd much rather have chase Brown, which is like, I feel like like Tony Pollard.
37:25I mean, yeah, I, I feel like rest of season rankings.
37:28I'm right there with you. I, I, yeah, you're, you're probably right because I mean, he was still a borderline first round pick, right?
37:35He's picked at the end. So, but like here, here's one more.
37:38Would you rather have Cam Scadaboo or would you rather have Justin Jefferson for the rest of the year?
37:44At that point, I'd probably rather have Justin Jefferson because I think they're going to trade.
37:48I think they're going to trade for Jonathan or yeah, Jonathan Taylor.
37:51That's my prediction is that the giants are going to trade for him.
37:55Ooh. Okay. They're going to, they're going to see that in the first year with John Harbaugh, they can win the horrible NFC East.
38:02But anyways, uh, we got to move on. I, we, we got some questions and panic meter and stuff to get to,
38:08but before we do that, I want to talk to you guys about the waiver planner.
38:12You can take the guesswork out of the waiver wire with the fantasy pros waiver planner, get a complete customized waiver plan

38:36That's fantasy pros.com slash plan. So now we're going to move on to the panic meter.
38:41And what I want to do here for those of you watching and listening, a, we love you.
38:46Thank you for watching and listening. Uh, put in the comment, comment, somebody that you want us to answer, whether we are panicking on them or not.
38:53One means we're not panicking at all. 10 means that we are in a full blown panic mode.
38:58So get all of those in the chat. Uh, while we, while we're waiting on you guys, I wrote some down here
39:04just to kind of get me and you started Scott.
39:07Um, we already talked about him, but Ashton Janty scale of one to 10.
39:11How much are you panicking on him? I think it has to be over a five.
39:15So I'll say six, right? Like if you're going to take away 15 carries from him, basically, I'm pretty panicked about that.
39:22Now I do think I'm trying to be measured and think that, okay, maybe we didn't know this.
39:27We was going to be this lopsided going in and we'll change it moving forward.
39:31But I, I'm, I think that's what's going to happen.
39:34Can I guarantee it? Absolutely not. So I, I think this has to be a six.
39:38Yeah. I'm going to, I'm going to go with a five.
39:41I'm definitely not. I'm definitely not, not panicking. I'm definitely not full blown panicking.
39:45So I'm going to go ahead and sit right on that fence and go with a five, because I still think that
39:51you will have fantasy relevance from Ashton Janty. I think the days of him, like, could he be a top five running back?
39:58Yeah. That that's not, that's not going to happen.
40:00But I think it could still be a running back one.
40:03And like, like I said, I think if you, if, if the manager has him and is freaked out, I mean, you,
40:09you tout those two carries you're saying like, look, this guy only got two, like when you're massaging that trade offer, you
40:16talk about how few carries he had and see if you can get him for cheap.
40:20Um, but we can, uh, but we'll, we'll see.
40:23And that's why we play the game. We'll see.
40:25Uh, we just talked about him. Let's get an official panic meter on Justin Jefferson.
40:29Um, that one's gotta be higher. Like a seven.
40:32Like I, I, it just hasn't worked at any point.
40:35Like he's still, I don't know, probably 50, 50 to score in every game.
40:38And I, we'd look real dumb if, you know, he just goes off for the rest of the year.
40:44But, um, uh, it's, it's looked bad. And like I said, we're way more than halfway done with our regular season and
40:50close to halfway done with the whole season here.
40:52So, uh, yeah, I think it's gotta be at like a seven.
40:56I, I'll agree with you on seven. I would even go as high as eight.
41:00Um, and I mean, we saw Larry Fitzgerald have some down years.
41:03We saw, um, uh, the, the, the Texans receiver, um, Hopkins Hopkins.
41:07Yeah. Thank you. Hopkins. We saw him have some bad down seasons with bad quarterback play.
41:11I love Justin Jefferson as a player. I just, it's a Kyler Murray thing for me.
41:16Uh, God is Kyler really as bad as Brock Osweiler.
41:18Do you think it's pretty bad at this point?
41:21It's, I mean, as bad as nine was last year, it seems like it.
41:25Um, yeah, get, get your, uh, your, your, your questions on panic meter.
41:28I have some more that we have in the chat.
41:31We talked about him as well. Zay flowers gave you a nice big goose.
41:35Um, we have dual injuries to the Ravens quarterbacks.
41:38What's your panic meter one to 10 on Zay flowers.
41:41I think this is another seven, right? And it's not, it has nothing to do with Zay.
41:45It's all about what quarterback are you getting? And is this quarterback going to be good enough?
41:50Like, you know, if we get the performance that we've seen from Tanner McKee recently, like I think a good player can
41:56perform with Tanner McKee, but we've also seen Max Prosper in the NFL, right?
42:00And that was Max Prosper was not an NFL level quarterback at any point.
42:04Right. So if that's what we're going to get from Fayano, what we saw today was pretty bad.
42:09But again, he's third string. He's the emergency QB did not expect to play zero reps with the number ones.
42:15So let's see him with a little more time to adjust, know that he's going in, you know, work with the coaching
42:21staff and the receivers really diligently this week. And, uh, I think he's going to be better and definitely better than Bros.
42:27So, uh, I would say six and a half, seven, somewhere in that range.
42:31Yeah. I think for the rest of season, um, I'd probably go five, six, but for Thursday night football, that that's like
42:37a 10, like you can't really get your third street quarterback, um, acclimated that quickly.
42:41So I think if you're, if you're looking at trade form, I, I would wait out until after this week and then,
42:47and then send some offers because, um, if you, and if you have a better option, I would not be super excited
42:53to start him again on Thursday night football, even though the matchup should be pretty good.
42:58It's just, it's such an unknown, but all depends on who you can start in his place, but we can move on.

44:09Um, so we, we, I, we, I saw that you guys put in some questions as we're going on.
44:15So we have some that will answer, but yeah, any questions that you have that you want Scott and I to answer
44:21and I'll just go through the ones that we have starred.
44:24So, and I think this is a pretty good question for Michael Sullivan.
44:28Um, what are we doing with Jordan Mason? Held him on IR for weeks.
44:32Same disappointed so far, not to mention JT could be traded to Minnesota.
44:35So what are you doing with Jordan Mason? I think I'm in a hold right now.
44:40Cause I've done the same thing. I actually had to start him this week.
44:44Obviously didn't work out very well for me, but I'm in a hold right now to see what they do.
44:49Right. Um, it cause Aaron Jones is fragile. Kyler's not working.
44:52So you've got to think that they will focus more on the run game moving forward.
44:57And I think it's going to be more Jordan Mason, but I really hate what they did this week.
45:02I don't know if you saw it, but DJ Dallas was ahead of Mason.
45:06So I don't, if you're in a short league, dump him, right?
45:09Like if you're in a 10, a 12 with short benches, I'm fine with dumping him.
45:14Uh, but I think in most leagues where I'm in there, 12 with deeper benches.
45:18So there's not a lot on the wire that I'm going to add.
45:22That's going to be better than Jordan Mason or they're 14 or 16.
45:25And there's just nothing out there right now. Uh, I, I think for the most part, I'm going to be in a holding pattern.
45:32Yeah, I agree with you. I'm, I'm holding him.
45:34Uh, it, the, the, the lines, a, the defense is getting better.
45:38Like maybe they're not going to be quite the bad defense that we saw at the beginning of the year.
45:43And they've always had a good run defense. Like ever since they've had Dan Campbell, they're, they're a pass funnel.
45:49They welcome the past. They stopped the run. And this was never a great matchup for Jordan Mason.
45:54So I would give him another week, but yeah, if they trade for Jonathan Taylor, then, then you can drop them.
46:00Then you can, then, then, then he's toast. Um, good question for wise guy with the game starting in just a couple of minutes here, slight lead.
46:07He has lemon and Saquon. I'm guessing, I'm guessing the question here is who do you start?
46:12I'm still going to Saquon. Uh, if he's starting, I'm putting them in my lineup for the most part.
46:17Okay. Knowing that you have a slight lead makes me lean towards lemon, to be honest with you, because no Devante Smith lemon had a good game.
46:25His first good game last, last week, scored a touchdown, six reception, seven targets, good matchup against a not great Washington commanders defense.
46:31So I guess it depends on who your opponent has.
46:34Like if your opponent has digs or they have like, you know, Jason or somebody tomorrow, then you need a higher performance.
46:40Then I would probably go Saquon. If you're projected to win and they only have like a defense or something, not super,
46:46that's going to score a lot of points. I'd probably go lemon.
46:50So I guess it just depends on the matchup.
46:52Um, here's a good question from Tanner, Tanner olive, six, six, five, seven.
46:56What in the world happened to Omar Cooper jr?
46:58I don't have an answer for this because he played 50 snaps in this game.
47:03Didn't see a target. Uh, so I'm guessing this is going to be just like Gino from game to game and who he likes to target.
47:10Uh, but Garrett Wilson did get much last week and it was all Omar Cooper and no ad nice.
47:15So, um, yeah, I mean, this is, this might be playing whack-a-mole with the, uh, jets wide receivers.
47:20Now they all should get targets every week, but it's been heavy to one guy over the last three weeks.
47:26So, uh, yeah, I, I just don't like the situation as a whole.
47:29So I still really like Omar Cooper, but this was a very weird instance specifically with so many points scored.
47:35This feels like the Colson Loveland game from week one.
47:38This makes no sense. Yeah. But I, you know what I, I really liked Garrett Wilson heading into, I know this is
47:44not a question about him, but I'll get there.
47:47I really liked Garrett Wilson heading into the year, but cause I thought that he was going to get all the targets like he always did.
47:54And now you, you, you look and there's like seven mouths to feed in this jets offense.
47:59Somehow you're like, how, how the heck did we get here?
48:02Didn't even play. Exactly. Brees didn't play, but like Sadiq has flashed Mason Taylor at two touchdowns last week.
48:07Omar Cooper had an awesome games two weeks in a row.
48:10And then he goosed Adonai Mitchell came back from a finger injury, did nothing.
48:14And then he blew up and Garrett Milcher or Garrett Wilson.
48:17Hasn't had a good game in like a month.
48:20Like his last three games have not been good.
48:22So what in the world happened to him is other mouths got fed.
48:26And I think, like you said, it's good. I think it's going to be frustrating owning any of these guys, any given
48:32week, any one of them can have a good game, but any given three weeks, they could have three bad games in a row.
48:39So it's not an offense that we love. They play super slow.
48:42Yes. They scored a bunch of points today, but they play the Raiders.
48:45They played the Raiders. So, I mean, I don't, I think you just got to hold them, but I think you thought
48:52you struck gold the last two weeks and now you're kind of like, okay, maybe not.
48:56Yeah, I agree. All right. From hammy to hamster.
48:59Should I drop Bryce young from Malik Willis? I'm okay with that.
49:02Like, I think Bryce has played pretty bad the last two weeks.
49:05This game was on Thursday though. Yeah, I'm, I'm okay with that.
49:09Willis has a lot of rushing upside. So it's kind of a coin flip.
49:13It's kind of a, by who the opponent, I would say for the most part, but I'm fine with that move.
49:18I would agree with you. I, you know, the, my biggest fear with Bryce young is their offensive line.
49:24Their best offensive lineman got hurt. And it looks like we're seeing old Bryce young.
49:28And the fact like he's not somebody that can handle pressure every second.
49:32So if this is what's, we're going to, this is what we're going to see.
49:36I'm also okay with that. Um, from mmgaming136. I'm guessing this is the rest of season question, which I, I, I like it.
49:42Bucky or Parker Washington? It's Bucky for me. And I, you know, obviously I I'm eating a huge L on Parker Washington this year.
49:49Cause I was like, well, who's going to catch the ball in Jacksonville?
49:53Parker Washington. Yeah. It turns out. It's just part of Jacksonville.
49:56Right. Yeah. So Parker, but you know, terrible this week.
49:58Uh, I don't, was it the week before two weeks ago where he was bad?
50:03Obviously I don't roster him anywhere. So I haven't been paying attention, but who are we guaranteed touches with Bucky every single
50:09week, specifically with a Baker playing the way he did today.
50:12Uh, that was in a monsoon and a, you know, they're loading up animals two by two, but, uh, that, that was a crazy game that they won.
50:20Not since 1974 to team one without the pass, by the way.
50:23Uh, so just a crazy occurrence to happen, but Bucky is being fed the rock right now.
50:28You're just guaranteed so many touches with him and he makes explosive plays still.
50:32So if he's going to get 20 carries, one of those is going to be huge.
50:36It might go to the house. So, uh, for me right now, it's Bucky.
50:40All right. Last question that I have for you.
50:43And this isn't, this is from me now from the audience, but rest of season, Bucky or Ashton Janty Bucky.
50:48See, I, I worry that, I mean, he's been really good for like four.
50:52Three out of the last four weeks, but monsoon this week, last week, the crazy Panthers game where next, like you blink
50:58and their Panthers are down 33 to eight. And then the Cowboys three, those were like 27 touch games.
51:04I'm not expecting that for the rest of the year, 18 to 20.
51:07That's still way too many for me to, to go to somebody else, specifically somebody who just got there, their carries cut to two, right?
51:14Like, and he had fewer snaps than Mike Washington.
51:17So for me, it's gotta be Bucky. Yeah, that's fair.
51:19And I think that you could probably get that maybe not after this week, but you might be able to get that trade done.
51:26If you, if you offered, um, if you had Janty and you offered him for Bucky, but anyways, that's all we got.
