0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
0:05Welcome in! I really wanted to hit you with a, it's garbage time!
0:09We did have some of that. Friday, September 18th, the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.
0:14Mike, the Fantasy Hitman, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway back with you.
0:17Great show for you today. Jumping back into the Fantasy Forecast, more matchups.
0:21We've got the Wheel of Shame. We've got our Fantasy Face-Off.
0:25We have news, injuries, Foot Clan Friday, Packer panic in the streets.
0:2935 to 14, what a difference a not-Cooper-Rush makes.
0:32Yeah, I mean, we had talked about that. Like, you cannot, you can't say that Drake London is bad or, you know,
0:39that the Falcons are what we saw those first two weeks.
0:42Also, the Packers are very bad. I mean, let's go to, let's go to resident Packer fans.
0:48Oh yeah, Jer, how you do... Oh! Wait a minute.
0:51He's doing an impression. Where is he? I like it.
0:54Well, Papa Josh is the fill-in. He's fake crying.
0:57Al isn't even here. He, um, I think he's taking a day for, it's a mental health day for him.
1:04He did have a... He had a note in our Slack channel last night because he had to go watch a performance of his...
1:11And nobody, he lives and breathes the Packers, by the way.
1:15Yes, he is a diehard Packers fan. And he said, fortunately, I couldn't watch the game.
1:20Probably saved my life. Yeah. Well, I mean, I'll tell you who, you know, Jordan Love's not long for the NFL with
1:27the way the offensive line is playing. He's been sacked more than anybody through three games.
1:32And a lot of them are, like, comically ragdoll type of sacks.
1:36I mean, you look at this game and then you're like, Jordan Love attempted 53 passes.
1:41More than double the amount of passes Michael Penix Jr.
1:45had. Oh, oh, but that's because the running backs combined for 17 yards on...
1:49Or sorry, that's not even right. 16 yards. No, 17 yards on eight carries.
1:54Marshawn Lloyd, Caleb Johnson. I mean, the offensive line is making its impact across the board.
1:59Yeah, the soothsayers out there calling for the Caleb Johnson breakout game.
2:03Nope. Nope. The Tucker Craft breakout game. Hey. Hey.
2:05Hey. Nope. But don't worry, Sky Moore got seven targets.
2:09Tucker, Tucker Craft, the epitome of fantasy football here of game environment ended up sensational.
2:1453 pass attempts. Opportunity for Tucker Craft. Eight targets.
2:16Your tight end got eight targets. Oh, that's very exciting.
2:20Except he caught what? Four of them. Four of them for how many yards?
2:2426. And one of the catches, Mike, was one of the grossest passes I've ever seen thrown.
2:30It was a basically lateral... That one didn't count as a pass, did it?
2:34Yeah. That was a backwards pass. No, that's not a rush attempt.
2:38He'd be in rush attempts. He caught the ball.
2:41It was one of his four catches. That is generous.
2:44It was a tipped ball that went flying sideways.
2:47He caught it. He dropped two passes, which by the way, he only dropped three.
2:52Three's the most he's dropped in a year. And he dropped two last night.
2:56Yeah, he's not... He's not back. He's not back to full strength.
3:00I mean, this is... In the off season, I was saying he was kind of off my board at ADP because I don't want the slow start.
3:09However, I fully expect Kraft to be awesome this year.
3:12Like, he is very involved. He's very good. He's working his way back, you know, to full health, full strength.
3:19And they've got to figure out this offensive line.
3:22Can Micah Parsons play right tackle? I'm sure he can.
3:25I'm sure he can. Yeah, I bet if on the list of things he could figure out.
3:30How about 194 yards rushing by Bijan and 194 yards receiving by Drake London?
3:35Ooh, baby. It is more than five yards from Kyle Pitts.
3:38They hogged them all. I mean, yeah. Kyle Pitts won for five.
3:42I'm still winning that trade, boys. Epic tight end failure.
3:45But, I mean, there was so much fantasy goodness in this one.
3:49The Falcons guys. Matthew Golden, 101. Delightful. Christian Watson, my guy.
3:53A little bit. Maybe, maybe some stinky. I don't care.
3:56We got 96 and a touchdown out of Christian Watson.
3:59So, overall, I mean, Tucker Kraft getting the eight targets and doing nothing.
4:04Major, major disappointment. But, overall, pretty good for fantasy.
4:06Couldn't be more over for Marshawn Lloyd. It. Yeah, I mean, he's not that good.
4:11And I wonder, you know, I've been saying. I don't think Jake.
4:15Yeah, I know what you're going to say. I've been saying Josh Jacobs.
4:19They need Josh Jacobs desperately. I don't think he fixes it.
4:23Here's the truth. They need a running game desperately.
4:26The last time we have seen Josh Jacobs with this team, they had a great running game.
4:31So, I keep saying they just need Josh Jacobs back and they, and they really do.
4:36They need a running back that can get it done.
4:40The question is, can Josh Jacobs get it done with this offensive line?
4:44Because right now they've got some big issues to figure out.
4:47Yeah, this was, this was a nightmare for, I mean, you were very lucky that, that Golden and Watson, if you had
4:54them, you got the big games considering how bad everything else went for the Packers.
4:59You know, Jordan Love, garbage time to his. Jordan Love, 300 yards, two touchdowns.
5:04Yeah, you're okay. That's fine. And I don't really lay a lot at the feet of Jordan Love.
5:10I mean, it's just, it's a discombobulated offense through and through.
5:13They're not doing anything well. They should be 0-3.
5:16They should be 0-3. They should be 0-3. They were very fortunate to come back and win against the Jets.
5:23And yeah, it's Friday. Every week on Friday, we give $100 away via gift card to one of our supporters.
5:29And if you're over at jointhefoot.com, you are, we appreciate you.
5:33Today's winner, Bamsey Pants. Sure. Why not? Sure. Yeah, Bamsey Pants with the dub.
5:37That's cool. Sometimes I feel like they're just, I know we randomly choose winners, but sometimes I feel like you don't randomly choose them.
5:45Wow. You just give me something funny to say.
5:48Our people are funny. They are. Let's talk news.
5:51News and notes from around the league. Commanders, general manager Adam Peters said the team is optimistic about Jaden Daniels returning in 2026.
5:58As of right now, surgery and IR are not on the table.
6:02As of right now. Now. I heard one report saying he might miss as, as few as one game.
6:08Um, TBD, but we were saying we were waiting for some news here.
6:12Looks like, uh, they're trying to get him back as soon as possible.
6:16All right. Well, look, DJ Moore downgraded to a DMP on Thursday.
6:20Can Coleman still out. This is not a great situation.
6:24You don't want to go backwards in terms of designations during the week.
6:28So maybe DJ Moore is going to miss another week.
6:31They take on the chargers at home. Can Coleman would have been a nice, Hey, yeah, shot.
6:36But the truth is you probably could do worse than Khalil Shakir this week.
6:41Khalil Shakir is a PPR option. And Dalton Kincaid continues to look like, uh, one of the steals of the draft.
6:48Nico Collins did not practice, not practicing today or Thursday.
6:51Jalen Coker. He had been downgraded to a DMP weird, but we're, was seen at practice today.
6:56Yeah. And it was said that he looked good at practice today.
7:00So I think Coker should be fine. Uh, Xavier Leggett was also back, right?
7:05Yes. So there you go. Caleb Douglas will not play this week for the dolphins.
7:10The, uh, one receiver that looked like he had any, he's going to miss some time.
7:15Chris Bell expected to play this week. Okay. Adonai Mitchell, who got a lot of attention on yesterday's show showed up on
7:22the injury report with a fingy injury. Oh no, my fingy got caught in a Jersey.
7:27I haven't heard that one yet. They said there's some concern over the injury and he will be limited.
7:33I hate that. That sounds so nonsense, but it's like, okay.
7:37Imagine you got your finger stuck in someone's Jersey and then it just like dislocated or something.
7:42Yeah. Us mortals, we would be at, we'd call out of work for two weeks.
7:47Yeah. Didn't I break your like half break your thumb football and you were done for the year.
7:53Yeah. I was out. You were out. I do think fingers are pretty important for wide receivers to catch.
7:59I'm just saying we, we, we joke about it.
8:02We were like, but that that's not great. There's concern.
8:05He may not be able to play. So just more targets for Garrett Wilson.
8:10Yeah. Tajay Spears did not practice. Tony Pollard returned to practice.
8:13Rico Dattle did not practice. Sam Darnold was upgraded to a full practice for the Seahawks.
8:18All right. And then, uh, we do have injuries to catch you up on.
8:23We'll, we'll handle them and tackle them during the forecast.
8:26So let's jump right in. Fantasy forecast presented by prize pigs.
8:30Yesterday. We covered the chargers, bills, Panthers, Browns, jets, lions, Texans, Colts, chiefs, dolphins, Titans, giants, bangles, Steelers, Seahawks commanders.
8:36So if you want to hear those, you can listen to yesterday's episode.
8:40We've got seven more matchups to talk through starting with the new England Patriots back to one-on-one taking on the one-on-one Jacksonville Jaguars.
8:48This game's in Jacksonville, the Vegas line. This is an interesting one.
8:52Jacksonville minus three. The over-under is 45 and a half.
8:55Yeah. I don't know what you guys did with your little, uh, like the pool picks here in the office.
9:01This one was a, this one was a troubling, difficult one for me.
9:05The first thing I did was look at the, uh, the Atlanta Falcons versus the Green Bay Packers.
9:11And I was like, come on, come on. 13 straight home openers.
9:15Come on. Yeah. I was like, that's how many they had won.
9:19Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. And I was like, Atlanta, there's no way they're going to screw this up, but I'm going to pick the Packers anyways.
9:28So that's how I've started. Uh, yeah. Well, look, this game, this one's interesting to me.
9:33Um, new England's defense got it together last week.
9:36Drake may has not been a fantasy force thus far.
9:39Trevor Lawrence slowed down by Denver last week. How do you feel about the two ball throwers in this one?
9:46Man, I have about Trevor Lawrence. That's exactly what I was just going to say.
9:51Even though it's the tougher matchup. I would prefer to play Trevor Lawrence over Drake may.
9:56We, we just haven't seen much good from Drake may since he lost his wide receivers.
10:01I mean, that's, that's a, uh, a difficult thing to try to do when you're, you know, you, you lost digs, you
10:08lost booty, and then you replaced them with AJ Brown, who you lost.
10:12Uh, Drake may is still a very good, uh, quarterback.
10:15I, I looked at his, uh, prize picks projection and almost went with it because it's, you know, to me it was like against Jacksonville.
10:24You should do it. What is it? Um, I'll, I'll, I'll look it up real quick.
10:29That was this morning when I was looking last.
10:32All right. Well, how nasty are you willing to get what the quarterback position versus Drake may like, are we saying Gino Smith against the Detroit lions?
10:40Man, that is, that is nasty. Kyler Murray against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
10:44Kyler is interesting to me. Um, I, I currently have Gino.
10:48There's no, there's no way I would try Kyler.
10:51The only, the only place we saw from Kyler were garbage.
10:54Then he got hurt. Okay. So you're not going, what about Gino?
10:58I don't, I don't think I would, I think I'd stick with Drake may.
11:03I would as well. The players that I would 16 and a half pass.
11:07The players that I would play over may would be kind of those, those love affairs.
11:13We've talked about recently, that where it's like, you might've picked them up off of waivers still be rostering Drake may Brock Purdy for sure.
11:21Oh, Brock Purdy for sure. What about Stafford against Denver?
11:24Man. Is it, is it in Denver? No, I play me.
11:27Yeah. Yeah. Oh man. Trevo and Ramondre. Last week, Ramondre had the fumble.
11:32So he saw his snaps cut down to 36%.
11:34Trevo had the big play, but was held in check outside of that.
11:39Um, which of the two would you rather start this week, Mike?
11:43Dude, it's impossible. I, it was, it would have been Ramondre last week, but he fumbled.
11:48This is, this is part of the, it's just a huge problem of you.
11:52You don't know when it will actually be Travion Henderson, at least for now with the, the, the current information, you know, I guess I would play Ramondre.
12:01So Trevion had 60% of snaps last week. How many targets do you think he had?
12:06Not enough. Uh, zero is not enough. Zero targets, zero receptions.
12:10That's the part of, of like, how do you put Trevion in a position where he can succeed?
12:16You know, you know, you, you, he's the only one that can give you a special run, but he had 16 carries last week.
12:23How do you not give him a couple of screens?
12:27How do you not see their gives? When you don't have wide receivers.
12:31I think they will. I think they'll get him more and more involved.
12:35This was his, you know, his first game back and they were up by so much in that game where, you know,
12:42I think it would have been different if it was, uh, you know, a, a, a different game script.
12:48Um, I did look up the, the, the Drake may projection here.
12:52Uh, 216 and a half. Yeah. On the passing yards.
12:55Yeah. I haven't projected for around two 50 and I'm like, Oh man, that's it's so tempting.
13:01But at the same time, he just has no one to throw the ball to because they won't put Trevo in the slot.
13:08They shall tootin seems like he's the dude. Did you see in our league of record?
13:13Chris Rodriguez got dumped this morning. Like the decision has been made six opportunities in each of the last two weeks.
13:20Parker Washington seems like the dude. Are you starting another wide receiver, Jason for Jacksonville?
13:25Um, I will say that I think a sneaky start is Brian Thomas jr.
13:30In this matchup. Um, you know, when you've got a superstar corner, uh, which the Patriots do have, I don't know necessarily
13:37that they will use them in shadow coverage, but oftentimes that lets a quality wide receiver to shine.
13:43So this is a matchup where, um, you know, last year you could throw on the quality wide receiver too.
13:49Yeah. I think Brian Thomas jr is a quality wide receiver too.
13:53Hmm. You disagree. He's been real bad, man. Like he got eight targets last week.
13:58He got three of them for 40 yards. Oh man.
14:01That sounds like Metcalf. Anytime, anytime a receiver catches a low percentage of their targets.
14:06That's calling, that's calling in a Metcalf. If we're, and so if we want to do that algebra, the way I feel
14:13about DK Metcalf, I'm kind of more on Jason's side with this one.
14:17I think that BTJ might be a little bit sneaky here.
14:21It's a 45 and a half point over under, I don't know where Christian Rodriguez is going to end up, you know, lining up.
14:28It might be on the outside. It might be on BTJ more than the guy that they move around the formation a lot in Parker.
14:36But I wouldn't be surprised if, uh, if he saw eight targets again, I'm not messing around with Patriots wideouts.
14:43I don't know how to predict that right now.
14:46Dobbs and Matt Collins and Douglas and Hunter Henry.
14:49Um, it would be Dobbs, I guess if there was one to choose last week, bounce back for three catches, 96 yards.
14:56Only four targets. The snaps still remain low, but his, his a dot is like, he's got, if he comes down with
15:03one, he's, it's going to be a big, what's his a dog.
15:07Does he have it in him? I think Romeo Dobbs says dog.
15:11Hmm. I feel like if he did, you would have called him Romeo dog.
15:15No, no, no. At least dogs, Arizona one-on-one San Francisco two and oh Vegas line here, San Francisco minus eight and a
15:22half over under 47 and a half. I I'm so excited because I almost brought it up a minute ago.
15:29Cause you were talking about different quarterbacks with Drake may.
15:32And I was going to say, obviously Brock Purdy, right?
15:35I think I did say that. Yes. But I wanted to bring up the fact that you talk about perfect storms forming.
15:42Oh man. We talked about Carolina and Bryce young and the fact that the substation is taking names six defensive linemen in
15:49two weeks have gone down for the 49ers. The latest news this morning, we don't report a lot of defensive news, but
15:56Nick Bosa injured multiple week absence could be longer.
15:59The 49ers are being their defenses being stripped bare.
16:02I mean, their offense as well, but they're getting to the point now where you're like, you know, could you see Arizona putting up points in San Francisco?
16:11I don't know. I, I, it seems 50 50 with Brissette and whether the offense works week to week, but not having
16:18Nick Bosa, not having the pass rush we saw from Seattle last week.
16:23Certainly better for the Cardinals. I mean, you, you're just getting to the point where like San Francisco and Brock Purdy, like
16:30Brock Purdy is looking more like the longterm every week answer at quarterback for fantasy football players.
16:35Brock Purdy is, he's a plug and play to me at this point.
16:39Uh, I don't, I don't see any reason to move off.
16:43Would you rather have him or shock rest of season locked into your lineup?
16:47Brock Purdy. Yeah. Okay. Because I know like every, again, everything with Shuck is just, it's a brewing excitement.
16:53It's a, what could be rock that Brock Purdy is the guy like Brock Purdy is, is so fantastic.
17:00Of he is like a one of one that his touchdown rate, Jason, you brought it up yesterday.
17:05I think of he just, he throws his touchdown percentages.
17:09It's over seven and you go, yeah, that's not regressing.
17:12That's just who Brock Purdy is at this point.
17:15Uh, for the Cardinals. Yeah. I don't think they, they, they mentioned that Jacoby Brissette got hurt or was dealing with something in the game.
17:23They didn't say anything specifics. I don't remember. He looked awful.
17:26Yeah. And I think he was dealing with the pass rush and that was the biggest thing.
17:32I feel like something was wrong. I think they talked about his quad.
17:36Yeah. I thought it was a quad issue, which I haven't seen anything about it, but I think that that should be
17:43a, like, it's a concern of McBride is in absolutely.
17:46And then after that, I mean, are you, what are you doing with this?
17:51So Jeremiah love, we're still frustrated there. I mean, this is, this is the issue with a rookie who is highly drafted in fantasy.
17:59When you take him at that two, three turn at the beginning of the year, because we're still seeing like last week,
18:06Tyler Algier was 64% of snaps and you know, love is not getting enough of the work.
18:11I fully expect that to change as the season goes on.
18:15Love will usurp him and take over and become the leader.
18:18He freaking better. If you spin a top five.
18:21Yeah. I mean, it was Seattle, it was Seattle last week.
18:25I mean that, and he's coming back from a high ankle sprain.
18:29I was going to ask the question, is he a buy low?
18:33Cause to me, he's a huge buy low opportunity.
18:35He's he definitely should be. And just for some context of, of where the market feels about Jeremiah love the prize picks
18:43projection for McCaffrey for yards from scrimmage. So rush receiving just under a hundred yards that yeah, that makes sense.
18:49McCaffrey. Jeremiah loves down that 58 and a half.
18:52Yeah. I mean, a combined rushing and receiving. Yeah.
18:55You're going to have to call your shot as to which week he takes over the job, or at least usurps him
19:02to become the leader of the job. I think it could be this week, uh, with the hurting defensive line, the divisional game.
19:09And now we're three weeks removed, uh, from that ankle injury.
19:13It could be now. Do we, you do we, I don't, we're two weeks in.
19:18It's hard to make real assessments like that. You think Tyler Algiers just going to go away?
19:23No, I don't think Tyler Algiers are like go away enough to a point where Jeremiah love can like, I think that,
19:30or is he, or is Jeremiah love going to, does it going to feel like, uh, a generic price at the end of the year?
19:38No, I don't think so. I think that, um, Algier will never go away.
19:43He will be involved. And unfortunately he'll probably be involved near the goal line.
19:47However, I, I, I expect that Jeremiah love will get to 60% of the opportunities, the work and that I think will be enough.
19:55Like B. John and Tyler Algier. Exactly right. And B.
19:58John got off to a slow start his rookie year, but what was still very good by the end for fantasy.
20:05And we haven't had that kind of iconic Jeremiah love play yet.
20:09We're going to have one or two or 10.
20:12Like he's going to have the breakaway run, the B.
20:15John type of run. So I do think it's a buy low opportunity.
20:19You're not, you know, you can't go in with absolute confidence right now, which is why it's a buy low opportunity.
20:26Somebody might be willing to give him up for, you know, let me just give you a hypothetical.
20:32Chuba has a big week this week. Jeremiah love stays sub 40% snaps.
20:36You know, I think that's when you start to your three weeks in somebody might decide Jeremiah loves not happening.
20:42And the Chuba is just something to bring up.
20:45If you have three straight top 12 weeks from Chuba, I'd still be willing to trade him away for Jeremiah love.
20:52Okay. Oh yeah. I would as well. Also update on the brissette.
20:56He has been a full participant Wednesday and Thursday at practice, but he is listed on the injury report with a hip injury.
21:03Okay. Debo is in your start of the week.
21:06He's the last man standing. And then George Kittle, the snaps still aren't there, but four for 80 and a touchdown last week.
21:14Yeah. I'd really, I'd take the production of Kittle over the snaps of, of freaking Tucker Kraft right now.
21:20Like I'm going, these guys came back from ACLs.
21:23They're doing more with Kittle was Kittle was Achilles.
21:26Sorry. They're doing more with less. You know what I mean?
21:29Like Kittle, he comes in, they're like, Hey, we're going to go to you.
21:34Yeah. I don't know. Kittle's awesome. Mike Evans. You are on a injury watch.
21:38He did not practice on Thursday. He is a veteran.
21:42He's the type of guy that might not practice a lot and still play.
21:46Is he in? I think so. I think if he is, I think if he's active, I'm going to have him Josh Downs or Mike Evans.
21:54I'd go Mike Evans. If Mike Evans plays, I would play him.
21:58Oh, but that's, that's tough. And when legit, when his management, you know, the, the substation is just, you know, it's just
22:05like, it feels like a fun bit that we do on Twitter at some point.
22:10At some point they act, they have to actually take it serious.
22:14Right? I mean, I don't think it's actually the substation.
22:17I think it's the way that they train the way that their medical staff brings players back the time.
22:23Like there's, there is something going on for sure.
22:26They've literally been the leader in, in starter injuries for like six consecutive years.
22:31They changed staffs over that time. That was one of the big headlines a few years ago.
22:36I mean, maybe it's Shanahan and you're not going to change it.
22:40And he forces people to get back. I don't, I don't know.
22:44You playing any Cardinal whiteouts in this game? No.
22:47So play Trey McBride. Yep. Okay. We'll take a break.
22:50We'll get into some more matchups. The Minnesota Vikings at two and Oh, taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at own to
22:57Vegas line, Minnesota minus one and a half on the road over under is just 42 and a half in this game.
23:04It's been overcoming adversity for Minnesota versus creating adversity for Baker Mayfield and the offense in Tampa Bay.
23:10Problem of my own design. And yet Tampa is favored in this game.
23:14Your consequences of my own actions. It's just, this is one of those games where if Tampa wins it, it's an, it's
23:22a nightmare for Minnesota because it means that Kyler Murray came out there, didn't win the ball game.
23:27And Carson Wentz got them two dubs. And I just think that that's a, not a great story.
23:33It's not a great look. That would be awful.
23:36The first thing that went through my head when I saw the spread, because honestly, I think the Vikings should be favored
23:43by more than a point and a half. Uh, the, their defense has been outrageously good and the Buccaneers do not look like they have it together.
23:52They, they have lost a lot of games here since the second half of last year.
23:57I mean, they, they were, they got Watson another start.
24:00They got who? The Buccaneers were so bad that Deshaun Watson will still be starting for the Cleveland.
24:06Yes, exactly. And so, uh, when I saw that line, I was like, is this just like Kyler Murray?
24:12Like it's like a hedge against Kyler just being terrible because I just don't see how the Buccaneers win this outside of Kyler being terrible.
24:20Well, I, I, I could see it. I mean, I, the, the low over under, they seem to be angling towards a close defensive minded game.
24:29I wouldn't say any of us have been like super impressed with the Minnesota offense in the last two weeks.
24:35They've gotten some stuff done, but I mean, they're, they're part of the bears though of the, like week one, their offense in the second half was awesome.
24:44And week two, you have to throw it in the garbage because of the storm.
24:49Yeah. I mean, it's still, it's still was Carson Wentz and we haven't seen Kyler.
24:54So I, I, you know, we're not playing Addison.
24:57We're not playing Hawkinson. We might not be playing a running back on this team this week.
25:02That's another factor, right? Like if Aaron Jones, he is limited and he's, he's supposed to be back, but that is a
25:09factor in the way that this offense is going to be able to function.
25:14If it's, you know, that could be a bigger portion of the, why this there, the favorite is so low and said
25:21Tampa was favored by one and a half. By the way, Jason, you corrected me Minnesota minus one and a half, but it's close.
25:29The Abuka situation. He is at price picks has them at 48 and a half receiving yards.
25:34He's only got a 17% target share on the year.
25:37Where are you? What's the headspace for a Mecca book?
25:41Is he a buy low? Is he a, I'm scared after the second half of last year.
25:46Is this a Baker needs to prove it before I believe what, what is the situation there?
25:52I am very concerned about it, about how they are spreading the ball around.
25:56I just wanted to double check. So yeah. So 17, 18% for a Mecca.
26:01As far as target share. Target share. Disgusting. You know who's got 17% target share on that offense?
26:06Kate Auten? It's me, yeah! Ted Hurst? 17%. Oh my gosh.
26:10If only we could fly! Like, they can't fly.
26:13That's why I'm concerned. No, that's, I mean. Ted Hurst out here.
26:17Ted Fred Durst Hurst. Pulling in a 17% target share out the gate?
26:21Is he Ted Fred Durst Hurst or is he?
26:24I don't know. Is he Fred Hurst? I don't know.
26:27Oh my gosh. So is that, you're afraid? Yeah, I am.
26:31I'm very, I'm very concerned that he is not, it's like.
26:34He is not him? I don't know about that, but the, don't hear what I'm not saying, but it's like, Marv is not commanding targets for Arizona.
26:43Ameka Buka is clearly not commanding targets from Baker the way that we feel like he should be as a first run
26:50talent, as he should, he should clearly be the number one and he is not being treated like it.
26:56Yeah. And honestly, he got off to such a strong start as a rookie that I think we forgot who he was.
27:03He was one of my favorite prospects as a wide receiver because what I saw was just a phenomenal wide receiver.
27:10But also, you know, for fantasy purposes, I didn't think he had a super high ceiling.
27:15He wasn't my wide receiver one for the rookies.
27:18When we were talking about him pre-NFL draft, I was like, he is a perfect wide receiver, great route runner, good hands, does everything you want.
27:26But he's not the kind of like neighbors-esque explosive athlete that's going to take over in fantasy, have these incredible deep touchdowns, you know, left, right, and center.
27:35He, to me, is like the perfect NFL wide receiver too.
27:39And he seemed like he was to start last year when they had Mike Evans and all that.
27:45He hasn't scored 10 fantasy points since week 10 last year.
27:48I mean, that is a lot of games in a row where I think you might just have to adjust your expectations
27:55and say, he's not a fantasy star. You said since week 10?
27:59Of last year, yeah. Yeah, they're 2-9 in those games.
28:02Do you- Going back to week 10 of last year.
28:06Which is 10 games in a row. They have been a terrible football team.
28:10Where do we want- do you feel like the blame is Baker Mayfield or Abuka?
28:15I think it's been a- it's pretty much what it's been since week 10, which is Baker was hurt, Abuka was hurt last year.
28:23This year, Baker is a nightmare so far. He cannot connect down the field.
28:27He's 30th in EPA per play among quarterbacks. Every downfield ball, he's overthrowing people.
28:32I mean, you talked about Ted Hurst's target share.
28:35Where's the big plays? There aren't any big plays.
28:38It's not Hurst's fault. He's been around the ball.
28:41To me, this is- you've got to start giving Bucky Irving even more work.
28:45You need to pick your spots and give some easier completions to Baker Mayfield, which should be Abuka.
28:51They're like, Bucky's been on a- we got him on a snap count right now.
28:56Bull crap. 15 opportunities, 21 opportunities. What are they going to do?
29:00What's going to happen? They're just counting his snaps.
29:02No, I love it. I mean, obviously, Bucky has been a good pick so far, very involved.
29:08And I think that the worries of this is going to be a 50-50 timeshare with Kenny Gainwell that they brought in is- that's already been answered.
29:17That's not the case. But against this Minnesota Vikings defense, I'm not excited for anybody.
29:21I'm certainly- No. I'm not excited for Bucky either.
29:24Am I starting him? Yeah, he's going to get the opportunities.
29:28You're hoping for a touchdown somewhere. Probably a bad game.
29:31I'm not starting Baker. Honestly, I think Abuka is a player that if you have other good options, I would- Abuka or Downs?
29:39Downs is now the measuring stick for the week.
29:41All right. Let me actually look at that one.
29:44By the way, Abuka is a rookie. Downs is one spot ahead of Abuka for me.
29:50Outside the last three games of last year, he's 24% target share as a rookie.
29:54He had games at 30%, 35% target share. The fact he's at 17%, he did that one time in his first 14 games.
30:02And now he's done it through two games. It is problematic.
30:05They seem like a team that may be the- I don't know who the leading candidate for a midseason firing is.
30:12To me, it's Todd Bowles. Yeah, he's got to be up there.
30:16Yeah, he's got to be up there. I think I would still play Abuka over Downs just because Downs has an equally bad matchup against Houston.
30:24He'll be fine. Hopefully. Josh Downs is fine this week.
30:28But there's plenty of players, you know, the Jalen Coker tier, Jameson Williams who's been bad.
30:33Those type of players I would be playing over Abuka.
30:36Yeah. Let's go to Rio. Baltimore, Dallas. We're in Brazil.
30:39Bonjour. Baltimore minus three and a half over under 53 and a half.
30:43Both teams are one and one, right? Both teams, I believe, are one and one.
30:48This is- Zay Flowers is traveling with the team, but he has not practiced yet.
30:53So, him traveling, I thought it was very strange.
30:56Like, how do you- if he's not- he hasn't practiced yet, on track to not play, went down to Brazil.
31:02Then I saw a video of- one of the Ravens players posted it, and they're in this, like, fancy hotel pool.
31:09That might be why he went. And I was like, oh.
31:13Maybe that's why he went. Oh, okay. I'm not missing out on my trip to Brazil.
31:18I got this passport for a reason. Yeah, like, okay, I guess they're human beings, and maybe he just was like, I'm going to Brazil.
31:26So, we have some news. Ronnie Stanley did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
31:30Offensive tackle for the Ravens. Something to keep in mind.
31:33Dallas, I mean, you're playing- you're playing both quarterbacks, obviously.
31:37Dak and Lamar get starts here in Rio. This game could be awesome.
31:41We got a 53 and a half point over under here.
31:44We don't know what the field condition will be, if it's anything like the other Brazil game.
31:50Are you surprised it's Baltimore minus three and a half when you might not have Zay Flowers on the field?
31:56After what their offense looked like last week against the Saints?
32:00To me, I'm a little surprised. Yeah, I get it.
32:03That it's- well, I guess, I mean, it's like a neutral site.
32:07Yeah, it is. Because you're not in- if you gave Dallas the home field advantage, then I think I'd be more surprised about it.
32:15But in a completely neutral head-to-head, it's like, I would take the Ravens to win.
32:20You playing Abuka or Rashad Bateman in this game with no Zay Flowers?
32:24That's a legit question. I think that in this game against Dallas, if Zay Flowers doesn't go, I would rather play Bateman.
32:31He will fly up my rankings when we get confirmation that Zay Flowers is out.
32:36And alternatively, if Zay Flowers plays, obviously you've got issues with possible re-aggravation, but there's no world where he would be out of my lineup.
32:44I mean, against Dallas in a 53.5 point over-under, you want the exciting pieces.
32:48Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and then wide receiver one, whoever that is, which is either Zay Flowers or Rashad Bateman.
32:55Yeah, and I know you released him and he doesn't have a lot of upside, but I think you could do worse
33:02than Mark Andrews this week as a spot start at tight end.
33:06The targets have still been there, six and seven.
33:09And if Flowers is not there, seven targets to the tight end position with a chance of a touchdown is in play.
33:16We've talked a lot about Javante Williams this week.
33:19You're obviously playing Lamb and Pickens. Javante is a kind of must play still.
33:23Yes. Don't let our discussions about Javante dissuade you from starting him.
33:27We're just, we're concerned long-term. But as of right now, he is the workhorse and he's going to get all of the opportunity.
33:34Dallas is going to score a bunch of points.
33:37Did we ask the Chuba versus Javante rest of season question?
33:41I don't, I don't think we did. These ones are just popping into my head today.
33:46And that's another one where I'm like, I think I'd rather have the Chuba side.
33:51That one. I'm going to take the offense of the Cowboys, but I, I, they're in the exact same tier.
33:57I would take the Javante side. I don't think anyone is coming to take Javante's job.
34:02And while Brooks is injured for six weeks and it'll be a long stretch, could see towards the fantasy playoffs, uh, that, that becoming more of a timeshare.
34:11Wait, you gotta let Jonathan Brooks go. It's good.
34:14It's done. It's not happening. It's very done. Your comp, your, your fears now would lie with AJ Dillon.
34:21Okay. So you, you don't think Brooks is coming back at the end of the year.
34:26I don't. Zero. Oh, he might come back to the team.
34:29I mean, he was, he was healthy by the way to start this year and they don't use them.
34:35He just, yeah, I don't see it. Yeah. Not this year.
34:39Anyways, Austin Eckler on the way. Maybe. Maybe. We'll see.
34:42Las Vegas two and Oh saints. One and one Vegas line is new Orleans minus three.
34:47See that one. That one's confusing. Cause I say the Vegas line, but then there's like the Vegas.
34:53Okay. So they set their own lines there in Vegas.
34:56Um, new Orleans minus favorite again, guys. They're giving themselves bullets and board material here over under.
35:02Is 43 and a half. And, uh, I already got one this week, but why not do another?
35:08Oh, Mr. Raiders over here. Andy's almost upset of the week.
35:11Andy tries to walk around the office. Like he's not a Raiders guy.
35:15I mean, he, he's like, I'm sorry. You know, I sort of a Raiders does that.
35:21Everyone knows you freaking love the Raiders. What's funny is when he was saying that me, VU this week, this is our auxiliary team.
35:28Yeah. When, when he was saying that earlier outside of the studio, he was wearing a Raiders helmet.
35:34He's like, I don't understand. People don't know. Has it come through that?
35:38I might believe a little bit in the Raiders.
35:41Yes, you believe. And I will say this. And Max Crosby in that rookie corner.
35:46And I love, I love what Kubiak is doing.
35:49I think that the team looks good. They are honestly, it's not surprising.
35:53What do they look like? Stable. Yeah. It's not, I mean, you're not just going to Kubiak a good coach.
36:00You're going from a broken version of Pete Carroll and sons last year that was totally inept.
36:05And so I do think the Raiders are a good team.
36:09I don't think that they are a bad team.
36:11However, I think the saints are a very good team.
36:15This is their home opener. And that, I mean, that stadium is going to be wild.
36:20They are so excited for the saints. So this is going to be a tough sledding for the Raiders.
36:26And if the Raiders go in there and win, they will make a statement.
36:31Here's what's impressive to me about the Raiders. They have shown me something on the defensive side of the football.
36:37And they've won two games without their best offensive player.
36:40And one of the best players in the game.
36:43Brock Bowers. Who should be returning this week. So adding Brock Bowers to the equation.
36:48Adding Bowers to the equation. Look, I'm not going to feel as confident about that upset if Bowers sits it down.
36:55But I've talked about the fact Calvin Banks is out for this offensive line.
36:59You're going to see Tyler Shuck deal with pressure the whole game.
37:03He may deal well with it at home. But, you know, I don't know what in the world is going on in the running game for the Saints.
37:12But I don't know if they have one right now.
37:15HN Jr. limited on Wednesday and Thursday with a hamstring.
37:19Man, I think it's hands off. I think the Raiders win this game.
37:23Oh, you said it. I think the Raiders win the game.
37:26It's going to be interesting. The only thing that you just need to keep in mind.
37:31Because I know that they have looked really competent, really solid.
37:35Max Crosby is amazing. Is that they played against the Chargers.
37:39Who now we are questioning if they're good. And the Dolphins.
37:42Who we don't have to question. We know. So we haven't seen them really pushed yet.
37:47Will the Saints push them? I mean, it's a 43.5 point over-under.
37:51We're not expecting big scores in this game. That's a low over-under.
37:55It's lower. It's 23 to 20 in that line.
37:58It's a lower one. I think that the plan for the Raiders is play good defense.
38:03Run the football 30 times. That's the one area the Saints have been beat through two weeks.
38:09It's 26.2 fantasy points given up through two weeks for the Saints.
38:12They have the workhorse in Gentry to do that.
38:15And you've got Trey Tucker and hopefully Brock Bowers back in the equation.
38:20Fantasy-wise, play Gentry. Play Bowers if he's active. Play Tucker if you're desperate.
38:24I think that's a great. Olave, of course. Vele would be.
38:27I think Vele is, of course, as a flex.
38:30Yeah, he's viable. Nine targets, seven targets. The volume will be there.
38:34And then the running backs, I don't know if you can play one.
38:38Nope. It's really, really tough. The only way that I think you could play one is if it turns out that one guy is active alone.
38:47Like, if... I feel like it's a trap. It feels like a trap.
38:51Kendra Miller did not practice, but it was illness.
38:54And so he was inactive last week. I presume that that was because Alvin Kamara was active.
38:59So this is like kind of a roulette table where I'm like, the ball is bouncing around.
39:05And it could be Travis H.A. Jr. Is active or inactive.
39:08Kendra Miller is active or inactive. And Alvin Kamara is irrelevant.
39:12He is not a good enough player at this stage of the career to put him in.
39:17I mean, he could literally touch the ball 20 times and be a bad player.
39:22I was going to give you the numbers. This is why it's a trap to me.
39:27If H.N. Jr. is out and you're like, maybe Kamara, Alvin Kamara had 15 opportunities last week.
39:33Incredible. How many targets? That includes six targets. Wow.
39:36The more valuable than carries. 15 opportunities. And he put up 4.7 fantasy points.
39:40You're not going to convince me that Kendra Miller gets more work than Kamara.
39:45That's for sure. And... No, but my point is...
39:48But Kendra Miller is like the only one of this group who could do anything.
39:52If Kendra Miller got eight opportunities and Alvin Kamara got 14, I would assume more fantasy points than Kendra Miller's side.
39:59But I agree. I think you're hands off in the running back room right now.
40:04And we've talked extensively about Tyler Shuck. You can use the start set tool on the website, thefantasyfootballers.com, to throw in all these other quarterback conundrums.
40:12And Juwanson. Of course. Juwanson is... He's fine. Juwanson is fine.
40:16It's not a... I mean, I'd play... It's not a plus matchup.
40:20I would just be chasing the higher over-unders with the Johnson tier of tight ends.
40:25Sure. So, like, you're going Mark Andrews over Juwanson?
40:28I'm okay doing that. Yeah, I like the targets there.
40:31I mean, it's... It's been a couple of big plays for Juwanson so far.
40:35I mean, he's only had three catches and four catches.
40:39And he had a huge run down the sideline and a touchdown in week one.
40:43I'm not taking anything away from the player. I just don't know if the targets are going to be where you want them to be.
40:51We'll take a break. We'll talk Sunday night, Monday night football.
40:55And we'll get into the fantasy face-off. Well, this one should be fun.
40:59The Rams, one-on-one, taking on the one-on-one Denver Broncos.
41:02The biggest line, the Rams minus two and a half.
41:05In Denver. Over under 44 and a half. Mike, you got Blake Corriman as your start of the week.
41:11Kyron and Blake, you're playing them both? Yes. And then Puka, not expected to play again.
41:17Devontae Adams was insane last week. He was 32% target share, has a 42% targets per route run with Puka off the field as a Ram.
41:25And yeah, you know the equation here. I mean, Terrence Ferguson is the fun, exciting upside secondary target because you saw nine targets.
41:32You saw a concerted effort to make him a focal point in the passing game that led to 14 and a half fantasy points and a touchdown.
41:41And he dropped two big plays. Like, he should have had a bigger day.
41:46Yeah, I mean, he's super – like, it's sort of cheat code-esque because Ferguson really is like a big slot receiver.
41:52And you get to play him at tight end?
41:55Seems to be the rules. If your last name is Ferguson and – And one of the top targets.
42:01And one of the top wide receivers is out, then you're a great option for fantasy football.
42:07This is simple. Fantasy is so simple. Just look for the name Ferguson.
42:11Mm-hmm. I would say – so looking at him on sleeper, what I am seeing is his roster percentage at 23%.
42:18So still – Crazy. Still pretty widely available. And I would agree, like, if you're in the Juwan Johnson tier – Oh, my gosh.
42:26And you get news that – I mean, I think it'd be pretty shocking at this point with what we're hearing if Puka plays.
42:33But once you get the official word that Puka is going to be out, I would put Terrence Ferguson in over someone like Juwan.
42:41Terrence Ferguson must be rostered in every league. Like, to me, if you – you look at, like, okay, Sam Laporta, amazing, great, better offense.
42:49I feel like there's more target, you know, opportunities here for Ferguson or Tyler Warren against Houston.
42:55Ferguson to me is, like – now that we know Puka's not playing.
42:59And unfortunately, I think when Puka comes back, this isn't a rest of season, just Terrence Ferguson's going to be awesome.
43:06He might be the receiver three for this team, but the receiver three is usually irrelevant for this team.
43:12The first two are pretty doggone good, though. So, while either's out – And to clarify, Puka's not been ruled out.
43:19Yeah. Oh, I thought you said – No, no, no.
43:22He's not expected to play. I thought you said he was definitely not – That's what I was saying.
43:28We need the official word. We don't believe he will.
43:31Certainly. I just want to be – No, thank you, thank you.
43:35Nasty question for you, Jason. Ferguson v. Ferguson, by the way.
43:39If that's your matchup this week, I just want to see it on socials.
43:43I'd go Ferguson. Terrence Ferguson or the doctor? Dalton Schultz.
43:46Yeah. Make me an appointment. If Puka is out, then I think I would go Terrence Ferguson.
43:52Just chase the upside? Yeah, the youth, the athleticism, and I think both are going to get a ton of targets.
43:59I think the Broncos' defense is what talks me into the other side of that one.
44:04Okay. I mean, last year – If there's appointments available.
44:07I know a lot of people have been seeing the doctor.
44:10It's hard to get in last minute. We've been seeing the doctor lately.
44:15Yeah. But matchup with the Colts. How about the other side, the Broncos?
44:19I mean, Waddle is in. Man, we're starting less Broncos than we were before, aren't we?
44:24I mean, Bo Nix is no longer in the conversation.
44:27No, I think that's it. I'm not – Waddle, check out.
44:31The running back room is a disaster of who's actually active.
44:34And Tyler Bidet will get work with whatever other dude gets activated.
44:38Right now, Dobbins is a full practice, Harvey's a full practice, and Jonah Coleman's a DMP.
44:43And you're playing the Rams. I'm not – I think it's a trap to play a Broncos running back right now.
44:50Yeah, I can't disagree. The Eagles are 2-0 taking on the Chicago Bears, who are 1-1.
44:55Oh, man. Who have the third lowest, fourth lowest implied point total of 18.5 this week.
45:00Wait, they were going to break the scoring record.
45:03Oh, gosh. Philly minus 4.5 over under 41.5. I mean, this is just a pretty – This is a bummer.
45:10This is a bummer situation where you literally look at this game and you don't have to say anything fantastic about the
45:17Eagles' offense to know they're going to win the game.
45:20Because I don't think Chicago can put up enough points.
45:23Now, maybe Ben Johnson is a miracle worker and a Bay Jensen.
45:27And Keenum can find – I mean, they have weapons.
45:30I don't want to give them no chance. But it's 4.5 road favorites.
45:35That's heavy. And, you know, I don't think Mononga is going to play in this game.
45:40He's been a DMP two straight days. We'll see.
45:43We have a DMP for Tyson Bajan, who is the better of the backups.
45:47He's actually shown the ability to – like, he'll take a shot downfield.
45:51He'll take a shot to the, you know, to the outside.
45:55I don't know if Keenum still has it. It's just a bummer.
45:59No Caleb Williams in this game. A Dunze, Burden, Loveland.
46:02I don't think you want to go there against the Eagles.
46:06Not really. And it just sucks. It's like the air has come out of the sails here for Chicago.
46:12And you just have to be patient. Like, to me, Loveland's going to be okay this year.
46:17I believe that. He's not my guy. I believe that as somebody who believes in the talent of Colston Loveland, the run
46:24that he had at the end of last year, and the fact that this is not an incompetent franchise that will avoid
46:31getting the ball to one of the best players at the position.
46:35But I don't think it happens this week, and it might not happen for a few weeks.
46:41Yeah, I love Case Keenum, the dude. His last start was negative fantasy points, and that was in 2023.
46:47He's 38 years old. I thought he was only doing the State Farm commercials.
46:51Yeah, I mean, putting in the backup. He wasn't supposed to be the backup.
46:56He was the backup to the backup. He's like, ah, shoot.
46:59He talked up Ben Johnson amazingly. He talked about how he's the greatest.
47:04He's worked with so many great head coaches, and this is the best offense of mine he's ever seen.
47:10I'm sure they can scheme up some stuff. But Case Keenum, this version of him, I agree.
47:15He's just not going to be able to get it done.
47:19I know that the Eagles have looked not great, almost lost, and probably should have lost the Tennessee Titans last week.
47:26But Case Keenum at quarterback is going to be a – I mean, it's just almost impossible.
47:31And Swift seems like, okay, he might be alone.
47:34You know, they're going to need him. Another guy might not be active.
47:38And you're probably still starting him. Yeah, I'm still starting him.
47:42You're going to have tough sledding. The defense with Carter there, they're going to plug the line.
47:47They're going to play a ton of guys in the box.
47:51I don't expect easy gains for Swift. No, it just lines up as a tough game for that offense altogether.
47:57On the other side, you have injuries all over the place.
48:01We lost Dallas Goddard, so he's not a part of the offense.
48:05Eli Stowers is on IR and not going to be a part of this team, it seems like.
48:10So right now, no tight end option. Saquon Barkley was the only running back.
48:15They injured Saquon Barkley. To practice, Shipley and Tank both out on Thursday.
48:19He was limited. The big waiver pickups. It's just like Jonah Coleman.
48:23The old rope-a-dope. It's like Jonah Coleman. The guy that comes in with the opportunity gets hurt immediately.
48:29The starter is back. And then did not practice Thursday, Devontae Smith, the hamstring.
48:33Which, by the way, the hamstring is what bothered him preseason.
48:37I will say. Oh, I didn't see that. He didn't practice Thursday.
48:41I will say it's Thursday, but this is the Monday night game.
48:45Okay. So that's like missing a Wednesday practice. So pay close attention.
48:49But, yes, you need to be aware. What do you guys think of, because so with the tight end situation and it
48:56being the ever-surviving Zach Ertz who just keeps getting jobs, do you want to stash Makai Lemon more?
49:01Yes. Yeah, for sure. I think Makai Lemon is a great stash right now.
49:06I went back and. You watched the tape. I watched the tape.
49:10That convinced me. I watched the tape this last week and obviously bad game.
49:14He didn't do anything. He caught one pass, I believe.
49:18Better than week one. Yes, better than week one.
49:20He was used everywhere. He lined up in the backfield.
49:24He lined up in the slot. He lined up outside.
49:27He was, you know, running routes in all three levels.
49:30He was, you know, leaking out for a screen.
49:33He was working the middle of the field. He was going deep.
49:37He was on the field and running routes and he looked good.
49:41He was getting open. It just, it didn't work.
49:44It didn't, it didn't happen last week. He was in on, I'm seeing, let me double check them on the, oh, that was the fourth quarter.
49:52So Lemon ran 80% of the routes. Oh, he was, he is.
49:56That's full time. Totally out there. More routes than Dontavian Way.
49:59He's a good player. And so to me, they need him a lot right now.
50:04And I believe he will be super involved. He's a, he's a good quality first round rookie wide receiver who's out there getting opportunities.
50:12It just hasn't happened yet. I also feel like Valey has gotten a lot of attention as a viable two.
50:19Well, the season's almost the exact same for Dontavian Wicks.
50:22Oh, Wicks. Absolutely. They're averaging the same points per game.
50:25Targets, target share. Both guys have been good. You need to think of Wicks as a startable player.
50:31Absolutely. Wicks or Downs as the final question? I'll play Wicks.
50:34I'll play Josh Downs. All right. Let's jump into the face-off.
50:38Fantasy face-off presented by PrizePix. I think Jason's made it known, but he is sitting here with the wheel of shame once
50:45again, maybe because of the guy that didn't perform last night.
50:49Hey, I can't lose again with Jordan Love this week, baby.
50:52Because he already played. So unfortunately for you, Jay, you got to spin it again.
50:57Wheel of shame. All righty. Let's spin that wheel.
51:00Yes, yes, yes. You lucky, lucky man. All right, what do we got?
51:04We got Toe Jam, Clown Nose, Egghead. Pauly. Oh, Pauly.
51:07Oh, you want a cracker? Oh, Pauly wants. Oh, no.
51:10Pauly, Mike, do you want to feed the parrot?
51:13Sure, hand me some crackers. Here, let's bust open these saltines here so that you're equipped.
51:19Yeah, I'll take some. I'm probably just going to throw them at him.
51:23I don't mean offensively, Jason. How big is your mouth hole?
51:26Not big enough for a cracker. Oh, we're just going to throw them.
51:30Oh, my Lord. Guys, this is a real problem.
51:33Oh, I missed. Here you go, buddy. Here, have a cracker.
51:37I want some crackers. Do you need to, does someone need to read your line for you?
51:42Probably 100% they have to read my line. I am about 30 seconds from death.
51:47You got some air holes. You're fine. I can breathe.
51:50Have a cracker. I can breathe. I just can't see.
51:54Yeah, just have a cracker. Is this my nose?
51:57Am I eating through my nostril? You are eating through the side mouth.
52:01Yeah, the classic parrot side mouth. Oh, he's eating the cracker.
52:04All right. Start us off here. All right. I'm going.
52:08My green goblin is quarterback Bryce Young. I'm taking 159.5 passing yards.
52:11I'm taking the more. All right. Doing looking good, Jay.
52:15I am. Guys, let's have some fun. Jameis Winston, 17 and a half passing completions.
52:19And I will take the more. Okay. Winston completions?
52:22Yeah. I wonder what Jason's doing. Jay, do you have any idea what you're doing or do we have to figure this out?
52:30I have a couple different ideas. I made several lineups.
52:33Well, you got to go with the one you told him.
52:37Why don't we throw it up on the board?
52:39Yeah, put it up on the board. We'll read it for him.
52:43Jason has Daniel Jones less than 219.5 passing yards.
52:46Oh, you hate her. But that makes sense. I think that the Texans.
52:50This board is saving him today. The Texans' defense, as well as the fact that he hasn't thrown for that so far this season.
52:58Quiet, Parrot. All right. We are at running back.
53:01I am going to go with Blake Corum. I'm taking 46.5 rushing yards.
53:05I'm taking the more. I actually had this one selected early in the week and it didn't move.
53:11So, Blake Corum more than 46 and a half rushing yards.
53:15I like it. What are you doing with your hands?
53:18I'm wiping crumbs and crackers off. That's what you're doing.
53:21Ken Bone Walker. Kenneth Walker. All right. What do you got?
53:2586 and a half rushing yards. No problem. You're taking the more for Kenneth Walker.
53:29No problem for Kenneth Walker. All right. Jason, let's reveal.
53:33Let's have some fun. I've got Cam Scadaboo. Why don't you say what my line is?
53:38It is 57 and a half yards are projected for Cam Scadaboo.
53:42You did good on that one. You're going more, huh?
53:45You did good on that one. Have a cracker.
53:48This is nonsense. Oh, I love it. I will say it looks like that game is going to be very rainy now.
53:55So, that sucks. Oh. I mean. Wait, what? Why would it suck for running the football?
54:00That sucks for Jameis Winston. Yeah, that sucks for Jameis.
54:03It's great for running. All right, guys. I'm not all.
54:07I'm not going to be kind with everybody. You're not going to like this one.
54:11But it's been working so far. Jamar Chase. 77 and a half receiving yards.
54:16I'm taking the less against Pittsburgh. I'm taking the less.
54:19Last week, I managed to get it with Trey McBride on his less.
54:23So, I'm going Jamar Chase. I don't blame you.
54:26He has a cracker that's perched in the mouth.
54:29So, you're telling me the Tennessee Giants game is going to be rainy, huh?
54:34Yeah. Tell me what you're. Yes, that's a bummer for Jameis.
54:37Because then the Jalen Coker news was also a bummer for me.
54:41Because I took the Tedderola-McMillen seven and a half receiving targets.
54:45I went more. Okay. Because I thought I was going to be sneaky and get a banged up Jalen Coker.
54:51Not so sneaky. Why don't we reveal Jason's wide receiver?
54:54Jason's wide receiver is. This is my green goblin.
54:57Oh, I'm in Ross St. Brown, your green goblin.
55:0032 and a half receiving yards? I told you guys before the show.
55:04No. I was like, my green goblin feels like the easiest thing of all time.
55:09Yeah, that's fun. Here you go. For you. Have a treat, Pauly.
55:13What do you got? All right. Let's finish it up here.
55:17Maybe not a surprise. I won't be shocked if I'm not alone with it.
55:21But I'm going Dalton Schultz. 50.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more.
55:25Yeah. With the doctor. We did okay last week, too, by the way.
55:29We didn't do too bad. Who do you got at your tight end?
55:33We did all right. But my tight end is my green goblin.
55:37I will take the mute. Two and a half receptions.
55:40We will go more. Okay. I like that. Jason, let's reveal it.
55:44I don't like the rest of mine. Jawan. Oh, Jawan.
55:4835 and a half receiving yards. You will take the more.
55:51Yeah, he's averaging 60 right now. I like it.
55:54And I like the game environment. I like it.
55:57Whoa. How do you still have more crackers? I just wanted to go through the whole sleep.
56:02How many crackers do you get? It's really fun to throw stuff at your friends.
