0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
0:05Welcome in! C'est la de foot! Oh! Okay! I don't know if I said it right, I just Googled it right now.
0:12Oh, Paris, Paris! That was for you, you stinky Frenchman!
0:15That's pretty good. Oh, man. Is this the first game we've ever had in France?
0:20First, hopefully last. Do we get the early, early game again?
0:23Is that how that works? It's forever. Dude, it's gonna be every week.
0:27As soon as the next agreement is signed, there will be 16 international...
0:32Say it again, say it again. What is it?
0:34I closed the window. Okay, never mind. C'est la vie!
0:38Football! Football! It's been, yay, football! Football! I'm sorry, France.
0:41Oh, man. That was just amazing. It's not my forte.
0:44Have you been to France? I have. Oh, I have.
0:47Was it as stinky as you insinuated? I mean, this is why I don't like it.
0:52I did, I did, uh, hock a loogie off the Eiffel Tower.
0:56Oh! That's fun. As you must, as you must, when you're in high places, you gotta spit.
1:01Really? Just per the rules. So somebody, I mean...
1:04Probably. Can they walk right up to it on the, what's the terminal velocity of a loogie?
1:10I don't know. That's nothing. Uh... Just a bad day for some couple, some guy proposing.
1:15Oh, my goodness. Thursday, October 22nd. Welcome into the show.
1:18I think it'll be more of a punch drunk show today anyways, because we, we got, uh, where the three of us
1:25live, it sounded like several nuclear warheads were going off over our head.
1:29We had a tornado hit Arizona yesterday. That's not normal.
1:32No, not at all. People's cars were annihilated by...
1:35Oh, by hail? By baseball or golf ball sized hail.
1:38Yeah, I watched this one video of someone in their car.
1:41Oh, yeah. The two girls? Yeah. And then it was just, their windshield was like...
1:46It was a horror movie. It was like someone was smashing it in with a baseball bat and they're like, how long is this windshield gonna hold up?
1:55Yeah, it was a, it was a pretty crazy day and a really good one for the, uh, like, glass repair guys.
2:02Oh, yeah. Like... They'll be driving in from all over.
2:05They will be coming into town. But we had, yeah, we had big storms and I was up all night because of that.
2:12And, uh, here we are. We're talking football. We got starts of the week on today's show.
2:18Fantasy forecast to talk about. News to talk about.
2:21And tomorrow is show 2000. Oh. So I know that producers have a few tricks up their sleeve for show 2000.
2:27I don't... You were saying this, like, show 1000 doesn't feel like it was that long ago.
2:33To me, it... But it was like a thousand shows ago.
2:36It feels at least a thousand ago. Impossible to me.
2:39I feel like we just did it. Is this a new alert?
2:43More severe thunderstorms? Is that for today? No, that was yesterday.
2:46Oh, gosh. I found it very comical. Yeah, an actual...
2:50The verbiage. An actual... An Apple alert. For Arizona.
2:52For destructive baseball size hail. Baseball size is... I saw somebody describe it.
2:57They decided... They went with cue ball sized. That was what it said in the news report.
3:02Cue ball sized hail. It's right in between golf ball and baseball.
3:06I mean, a cue ball is pretty close to a baseball.
3:09Yeah. A little smaller. A little smaller. I guess you're right.
3:13They didn't want to be inaccurate. No. Because I'm measuring.
3:16When it's coming down like that and taking out my family...
3:19Quick, go grab one! Yeah. Mandarin orange sized. Oh, man.
3:23That's pretty crazy. It's more of a clementine. You know?
3:26They really oversold this. Let's jump right into the news.
3:29News and notes from around the league. The Bears ruled out Kyle Menungay who's going to miss a third straight game with the thumb slash toe.
3:37I think that was expected. The timeline... And that's today.
3:40The game today. Yep. Yep. So I expect him back next week.
3:44Jonah Coleman. Hey! Designated to return from injured reserve.
3:47And he had a little hype tweet he put out there.
3:50So he's excited to get back. Jeremiah loved to not practice.
3:54And CBS is reporting love not expected to play.
3:57Based on last week... I mean, this is probably delusional because it's Denver.
4:01But if you needed... Like we found out Saquon's coming back.
4:04That's another piece of news. Saquon is likely to play.
4:07As expected, yeah. Damien Pierce would be the complement, right?
4:11Yes. Not great anymore, right? To play Damien Pierce.
4:13Last week... You throwing out some Bam Knight here?
4:16I'm just going to say his name because Algier was awful.
4:20Bam Knight led the team in carries. Or in yards.
4:23He actually was 5.5 a carry. And I think he got like 14 or 16 opportunities.
4:28Yeah, he looked good. It's just like a break glass emergency play which some leagues...
4:33Leagues... I don't know. Some you do need it.
4:35Some leagues you're going to need it. Like I said, Saquon Barkley.
4:39The latest on that, he is expected to return to practice.
4:43That's a Monday night game though. So are you nervous at all?
4:47It is Monday. They cut... Was it Carson Steele and Jaden Blue?
4:50And then they added Elijah Mitchell to the practice squad.
4:53So as of... Elijah Missal. Yeah, he's back. From the past.
4:57But more meaning, they dumped two guys and they only brought one back.
5:01So like on the team right now is Barkley, Pearson and Mitchell.
5:05So it... The signs are that Saquon will play.
5:08Uh, Lamar Jackson was limited on Wednesday. But, uh, ooh, multiple beat reporters suggesting he was walking with a limp.
5:14Yeah, if you saw the video of him coming off the practice field, first of all, he's not in...
5:20You know, he's not suited up. And then while coming off the field, he was walking with a noticeable limp.
5:26So I... Oh, and the line has moved from Baltimore minus three to Cincinnati minus one and a half.
5:32And the total has dropped from 51.5 to 48.5.
5:35Yeah, he's not going to be playing this week.
5:38Oh, man. It'll be a little bit to get him back.
5:42When he's back, he'll be great. But you're going to have to wait.
5:46Yeah, that's a little bit concerning. Speaking of Jeremy.
5:48Because you just traded him. I did just trade him Lamar.
5:52What's the latest on Jacobs? Is he going to have to wait on Jacobs too?
5:57No. No, Jacobs will be back this week. Whether or not he goes into a full workhorse role is yet to be determined.
6:04We don't know his conditioning and all of that, but we do know he has absolutely zero competition for anyone that should ever touch the ball behind him.
6:13Okay. Jordan Mason, full participant in practice. That's great.
6:16And there are some reports that he's going to get every opportunity to be the lead dog.
6:21Quinshawn Judkins and Dylan Sampson both limited on Wednesday.
6:24I don't think you're going to be starting any Aldrick estimate.
6:27Julian McLaughlin's this week. How about Baker Mayfield? Full participant on Wednesday.
6:31And I think he's already back out there today.
6:34He is. I watched some video of him throwing today.
6:37He looks, you know, eye test wise, I'd be surprised if he doesn't play this week.
6:42If he's actually practicing and he was throwing on the move, running, and whether he's as good.
6:48You know, I don't know if he's got fingers taped up.
6:51I think he's got a special glove on. He's got his Michael Jackson glove on.
6:56His Michael Jackson glove. He's a tough guy. He will always play through injury again, sometimes to the detriment of himself or teams or stats.
7:04But it's still probably better for the Buccaneers to have Baker out there.
7:08I expect Kurt was a two glove guy. There were periods.
7:11Yeah. Yeah. I became a two glove golfer halfway through that event when the blister started forming.
7:17Tyler Warren did not practice on Wednesday. Groin index.com if you need more details.
7:21You need some. I'm going to check that out.
7:24What did he say? Yeah. Check his quote. Oh, he went.
7:27Yeah. That's a little different. Into the starts of the week we go.
7:31What a show we have here. Starts of the week.
7:35Starts of the week. All right. We have our starts of the week at every position for you heading into the upcoming week of football.
7:43Big matchups. Starting at the quarterback position. Why don't we let Mike kick it off with a guy I am infatuated with right now.
7:50Yep. It was Jason's stream of the week from streamer to starter.
7:54It's CJ Stroud. The Texans are 10 point home favorites against the Giants.
7:58Look, Stroud with Nico is averaging 300 passing yards per game and the matchup.
8:02Chef's kiss 29th in schedule adjusted points to the position.
8:06Do you find yourself just kind of chuckling a little bit at the juxtaposition of where we were with CJ Stroud a year ago?
8:13I mean, yes, they chose not to extend him.
8:16And to wait. Yeah. And then they went out and got him another wide receiver and he will be getting them.
8:23I mean, we were debating it. He'll be getting the monies.
8:26Yes. All of the monies. He will. He will be getting paid.
8:30It is very funny of the like, OK, we're not going to extend him.
8:34How should we set up this year? Hmm. What if we have a bad defense and we can't run the ball?
8:41Yes. So he's just going to compile so much.
8:44You know what? Let's trade for multiple wide receivers.
8:47I'm in on that. I mean, they did. I am now in on that because I think that is the strategy to prove it.
8:54Yeah. You're going to spend hundreds of millions, 300 million dollars.
8:58That's fair. Why not? You just put everything on his shoulder.
9:01And if he proves it, then you're like, he's money well spent.
9:05Yeah. All right. I'm going Jeremiah. Not Jeremiah. Jordan Love.
9:08Jeremiah Love can't play quarterback or play running back right now.
9:12Man, the process loves Jordan Love so much. Jordan Love against Detroit.
9:15He's the QB eight on the season. He looks great.
9:19He's willing to chuck it. Detroit's defense sucks. They were on pace to score a million points.
9:24It's a 53 and a half point over under.
9:27Spicy. I mean, there's not a better matchup this week.
9:30No. And the other side of the ball is my start of the week.
9:34We want in on this Lions Packers game. Jared Goff at home coming off of a buy.
9:40He's on pace for 5,041 through the air at home over the last four years.
9:44He's averaging over 20 fantasy points a game. You just got to stay in the flames.
9:50This matchup is, you know, the Packers are a top five defense against quarterbacks.
9:54And so you might go, I don't know. Yeah.
9:57This is a 53 and a half point over under at home.
10:01Start Jared Goff. And I'm going with Jalen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers versus New Orleans.
10:06It is in Perry. I am. I still believe in it that the fantasy game wasn't there.
10:11Like the fantasy points were, they didn't happen. But Jalen Warren in terms of peripherals was still the guy.
10:1718 opportunities, 75% of the snaps. The only carry inside the five last week.
10:21And the Saints rush defense dead last in almost everything to the running back position.
10:26Rush success rate, rushing touchdowns allowed, schedule adjusted points.
10:29It's a delightful matchup. I'm not, like maybe one more game back with Rico, he gets more work.
10:35But I think for now, until Jalen Warren falls on his face, he will be that leader of the times.
10:41I like this one. I like the confidence play after the down game with Rico back.
10:46Because if you look at the carries, he had like one fewer carry than the week before when he dominated.
10:52Matt, this is kind of a home game for the Saints.
10:56Is this like a French Cajun type of a thing?
10:59Yeah. Is that why we sent the Saints? Yeah.
11:02No, that was to the audience, not to you anymore.
11:05Please stop talking. He kind of was stopping. It got lower and lower in volume every time.
11:10Anybody got some camels? Or some reds? Are we going to his wedding early next year?
11:15Yeah, you guys are. And don't we have to, I mean, don't we have to like, he's going to have to talk out loud.
11:23I do. I do. I do. I do. I do.
11:26It'll be, it'll be. You better be practicing already, bro.
11:29You guys better let me know how it goes.
11:32Everyone's going to be like, just, you can just hear him and they're going to hand him a microphone or he's going
11:39to wear one of those little microphones on his way.
11:42It's going to be so sweaty. All right. Okay.
11:45Aaron Jones this week. Aaron Jones. Oh, okay. If you, if you look at it, he's been the RB 16 on the air.
11:52He's got two top 10 finishes. He's never been outside the top 24.
11:57And the matchup against Indianapolis is outstanding. 29th in schedule adjusted versus running backs.
12:01Just because Jordan Mason may be back in this game does not mean that Jones is not a startable asset.
12:07Um, you're going to see the snaps. Yeah. It's not gonna be 87% anymore, but you're coming off a buy.
12:14They're going to, it's going to be a committee.
12:16I think Aaron Jones is startable. And then those that are doubting it because I think you're right.
12:22You know, Mason is it's me. Let's be honest.
12:25Mason is not. It's not Saquon coming back to the rotation.
12:28Correct. Jonathan Taylor coming back to the rotation. This is a guy that was still a projection going into the year as being the dude for this team.
12:37I think Aaron Jones is a great start this week.
12:40No, no matter what, Aaron Jones is still going to be the pass catcher.
12:45Jordan Mason. I expect Jordan Mason to go right in and be the kind of starter.
12:50Maybe even I expect him to touch the ball more on the ground than Aaron Jones.
12:55But Aaron Jones is not going away. Um, I think both are our fine plays this week.
13:00My start of the week at running back is Bucky Irving off of a 5.9 fantasy points game.
13:06Uh, he, he missed right so hard, man. He did week.
13:10Well, I mean, look, he had 22 opportunities, a season high 85% of the snaps.
13:14They were giving him the work. The problem is their offense, uh, you know, with the undrafted rookie quarterback, it's, it's hard to make that work.
13:22Baker's going to be back this week. They're giving him the work and the Panthers rush defense is one that we want
13:29to attack dead last in yards per carried allowed 25th and rush success rate.
13:34And year after year after year, this is an ongoing, uh, poor rush defense for the Panthers.
13:39I'm just excited for the passing game work to come back to Bucky.
13:43That's what I've been waiting on. Like if you put that and mix it in with him getting, you know, he carried
13:50the team two weeks ago to a victory, but like you see Jalen Daniels, it's like a quick look up and then he takes off.
13:58Baker's going to drop it down. Maybe even more with the injury.
14:02I love that start because I have them on my team.
14:05Go on. My up. You are a receiver where, uh, look, hygiene's out the window.
14:10No more washing the hands. We got the germs, baby.
14:13Oh, Jeremy Bernard. I don't know why both my guys ended up here in the Paris game, but that's where we are.
14:20He he's in for number one priority off of the waiver wire into your starting lineup over the last two weeks targeted
14:27on team leading 29% of hit of Aaron Rogers.
14:30He's targets. He's heating up for the rules of NBA jam and the matchup is there.
14:35So I think that Jeremy Bernard feels like a very, very safe wide receiver too.
14:40All right. I'm going to, um, you know, I'm trying to confidence, maybe a word associated with my starts.
14:46I'm going George Pickens. I'm taking George Pickens versus Philly.
14:49That's the Monday night game. Saquon's coming back to, um, he did lead the team in receiving yards last week, even though
14:56the fantasy performance was better for both lamb and Ryan Flannoy, 11 targets, no touchdowns.
15:01We're still doing the dance with Pickens where the touchdowns need to arrive.
15:05And, uh, I think you've been able to throw on Philly 28th and receptions allowed 28th and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed.
15:12Do you think Javante is the kind of back that's going to get through Jalen Carter and company?
15:17I do not. And you saw the, their ability to relinquish the ground game when things got tough for them last week,
15:24Tanner McKee is not special, but getting Saquon back and getting to play Dallas.
15:29Like you're probably going to have some productive, you know, drives for this team.
15:33I think they're going to, you know, Dallas has not looked the part quite yet.
15:38And I think Pickens is going to get it going.
15:41Yeah. Um, I, I think that's a, uh, yeah, Mike, I'm going to need some, uh, steel.
15:47Level one or level two. No, just level one.
15:49Okay. Level one. Steel underpants. Wow. I think Jalen Warren is, you don't have to do this.
15:55Uh, Jalen Waddle is a good start this week.
15:58Um, yeah, he should be. Oh boy. He should be a good start.
16:02He should be a good start. We talked also, look, Bo Nix has sucked beyond bad and it's not just the matchups.
16:09It's the film. It's not a good start to the story.
16:12He has, he has been bad, but there is a lot we have made over the first six weeks of their season.
16:19They had one of the toughest schedules, one of the toughest matchups, I believe the toughest for the passing game.
16:25And we, and we've seen it, the, the, you know, they've, they've stayed in games.
16:30They've won games, but their offense has been abysmal.
16:33They're playing the Arizona Cardinals 31st and explosive pass rate allowed downfield passing their dead last in yards per pass attempt.
16:40They're 24th and schedule adjusted points given up to wide receivers.
16:43I know the Cardinals looked good against the Rams last week.
16:47I think that that was just a LaFleur coming from the Rams, knowing the system and having a good scheme for that game.
16:54Jalen Waddle has only had one top 24 performance this week.
16:57I guarantee he's a top 24 wide receiver this week against the Cardinals.
17:01This year. Yeah. Okay. I have had a, I mean, as somebody who needs a start this week at quarterback, I had
17:08Bo Nix on my team and I thought through this game over and over again, I would be with you fully if this game was in Denver.
17:17I am not, I am not sure what's going to happen.
17:20And I, and look, I dropped Bo Nix to play Geno Smith and I'm looking this morning, my opponent who also needs
17:27a quarterback just picked up Bo Nix to play against me.
17:31Oh, how fun. So now I can be my own demise or I am more on the side that Arizona's game was not exclusively due to that.
17:39So I waddles terrifying in the, I thought about trading for him because he's probably as cheap as he's ever going to be.
17:47And I just couldn't get myself there. So I can't wait to see if your guarantee is right or the Cardinals slow him down.
17:54In the Lister League, Andy, I had to make a decision off of the wafer wire this morning between Bo Nix and Geno Smith.
18:02And what'd you do? And I picked up Geno Smith.
18:05Oh my goodness. Per my rules of, I'm just not playing Broncos.
18:09Yeah. And I, and I don't, I don't even, I don't even blame you.
18:13I'm not saying play Bo Nix. He's not my start of the week cause they're playing the Cardinals.
18:19I just think Waddle will get a couple of deep passes in this game.
18:23It should. He's still good. I hate what's happened to his career, man.
18:27Well look, it's just crazy cause Bo Nix can like throw the ball like 50 times and it can be worth like 191 yards.
18:35You know what I mean? It's, they need to get it together.
18:39I don't know if you can go from where he is to dominance, but Arizona should be the matchup for it.
18:45I, I, there's a reason Bo Nix was on the team.
18:49I just tip talked myself out of it, which I'm sure will be my demise.
18:54Like I said, Mike tight end start of the week.
18:57Uh, I'm going with Tucker craft again. We just want pieces of this game against Detroit.
19:02Uh, weeks one through two for craft five total receptions last month, averaging five per game.
19:07And he leads all tight ends in designed targets.
19:10So we're talking screens, option routes, any, but he just has one touchdown.
19:14The touchdown is worth so, so much. Don't let the fact that he, that Tucker craft isn't, it doesn't have the correct
19:21amount of touchdowns for what he's, he's done in production wise.
19:24He's going to get his, the touchdowns will regress.
19:27Oh, and Matthew has told me it's national tight end day.
19:31Oh, is it really? Oh, every year. It's been pretty good.
19:34Every year on national tight end day teams like scheme up tight end touchdowns.
19:38Well, they won't have to scheme it tonight. I'm going Hunter Henry against Chicago.
19:43There aren't pass catching options available beyond the Mario Douglas, Hunter Henry and AJ Brown.
19:48Look who just picked him up in the league of records.
19:51I'm not surprised. No, I mean, I, I saw him out there and I was like, Hunter Henry this week is a great floor play with touchdown upside.
20:00He scored in two straight weeks. The Chicago bears.
20:03This game is going to be fun. What a bad pick.
20:06I mean on national tight end day, you pick a tight end, not playing that weekend on Sunday.
20:12Yeah. I'm an idiot. Uh, no, the matchup should work.
20:15Uh, I I'm, I'm just making a joke of the Sunday.
20:19Uh, I'm going to go with Tyler Higby, um, who plays Sunday on national tight end day.
20:24Uh, my dude, Terrence Ferguson, I love, he's not coming back soon.
20:28Uh, that's sad, but Tyler Higby has been getting it done.
20:31This is a really good matchup against the, the Las Vegas Raiders.
20:35And we have seen that whenever, if you don't have Puka or if you don't have Devante Adams, they will use the
20:42tight end as the pass catching number two. And I, I just number two, number two.
20:47Um, you know, so I, over the last month, he's averaging five and a half receptions, 59 receiving yards.
20:53Those numbers are good for tight end and it should only be better without Devante Adams out there.
20:59Okay. There you go. That was the starts of the week brought to you by Apple Card, applying the wallet app on your iPhone today.
21:07Subject to credit approval. Apple card issued by Goldman Sachs bank USA.
21:10Salt Lake city branch more, uh, terms and more at apple card.com.
21:14We'll take a break and we'll jump into the forecast.
21:17Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks. We get Cincinnati, Miami, the lions and Jameer Gibbs and the Vikings back off the by
21:24bills, chargers, commanders, and Jags not playing this week.
21:27Let's start in Paris. Oh boy. I'm sorry. Vegas line, Pittsburgh minus three and a half.
21:32It's Pittsburgh at new Orleans at new Orleans. Pittsburgh's foreign to right now with Aaron Rogers leading the way.
21:38The saints are two and four got the victory last week after a rough stretch and rough start.
21:44The over-under is just 44 and a half. Uh, we know that, uh, we're going to be waking up early for this one over the last month.
21:52The guy that Jason thinks isn't playing well, sixth and passing yards per game.
21:57Aaron Rogers, number one in passing touchdowns. Just stats dude in the NFL.
22:01Wait, number one in touchdowns or last month. Just number one though.
22:05Stats. Stats. Who cares? Stats me this. Stats me that.
22:08Played an overtime. I mean, let's throw it out.
22:11Uh, prize picks projection as Rogers at two 33 and shock at two 32.
22:15But again, that's just a number. That's surprising to you.
22:18Which part the, how low shucks is. It's not like three 50.
22:22Uh, I mean, that is the more surprising thing to me is that, is that shock is down there.
22:28He obviously was 32 is a lot. The saints are going to get killed in this game.
22:33That's my prediction. Really killed, killed. I'm concerned killed.
22:36That's my prediction. And it makes me feel uncomfortable starting anybody not named crystal lobby in this entire game.
22:42You, you Kendra Miller is one of the most popular start sick questions.
22:46Um, I don't want to do it. I feel like it's basically touchdown or bust for, for him.
22:52I, he's getting opportunities and the, if we're touchdown or bust, you know, he's been, let's see over the last two weeks,
22:59he has four carries inside the five. Like that's, that's not too bad.
23:03Uh, 20 total carries for 70 yards, yards per carry.
23:06Not, not great, but he was the leader. Like if you're, if you're going in on one of the saints running backs, that's where I would go.
23:15I'm just very concerned with the pass rush against this offensive line for the saints sustained drives without a running game that
23:22I think is going to keep them honest. I think, I think the Pittsburgh Steelers have been playing really good football.
23:28They're fourth in the league in terms of fantasy points, given up to quarterbacks.
23:33So, you know, it's Tyler Shuck on your board this week.
23:36Cause he's not on mine. He, he right now, my league of record is I, I platoon Dak Prescott and Tyler Shuck.
23:43I'm going with Dak as of right now. Really?
23:46Against the against Philly. Yeah, I am. Um, yeah, I mean, a Shuck is still on my board personally.
23:52I, I think he's playable, but I'm, I'm with Andy that he might get the crap beat out of him this week.
23:59Yeah. I mean, obviously TJ watt with the, you know, their offensive line struggles and a good pass rush from the Steelers.
24:06I totally see how this game goes sideways for the saints, but, uh, the saints have, have played decent ball this year.
24:13And, um, you know, they, they went out last week and they, they put it on the giants.
24:19I know at the very end of the game, JJ McCarthy came in and, and came back and, you know, it made
24:26it into a game, but it looked, it looked pretty overwhelming.
24:29I don't think this is a blowout. Uh, personally, I, I could see either team winning this game.
24:35Um, Chris Olave, obviously a must start. I think Tyler Shuck is still startable.
24:39I, yeah, I mean, I, I feel like I would start him over, over deck, but maybe that's, uh, maybe that's wild.
24:46Uh, Jalen Warren, Mike started the week. You talked about it, but the saints haven't been able to stop anybody.
24:52Right. Um, on the ground, they're 32nd in fantasy points, given up to running backs.
24:57If you adjust for the schedule, they are still 32nd.
25:00Uh, they're, they just haven't been able to stop anybody.
25:03Uh, DK Metcalf had nine catches in the fourth quarter in overtime last week, which was nearly a record since the year 2000.
25:11Jeremy Bernard's Mike started the week as well. You've got consolidated targets.
25:15You've got a high, uh, passing number for Rogers.
25:17And so a very beatable defense. Would you play Bernard Mike, your start of the week or Luther burden tonight in that, in that matchup against New England?
25:26I think Bernard is, I think I go Bernard.
25:29I think it's, I think it's the safer play and, and the upside.
25:33It's funny through the, through the first three quarters of last week.
25:37I, you know, you're, if you remember the, the Steelers were getting beaten handily by the backup quarter.
25:43Yeah. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and, and the saints were, uh, boat racing the giants.
25:47And it's like now all of a sudden one quarter later, Ross fade at the end of those games.
25:53And now we're expecting, uh, or, you know, Andy's expecting a, a, a drubbing here for the, the saints.
25:59Uh, it'll be interesting. Um, I mean, neutral site, Juwan Johnson at all favor by three and a half.
26:05I don't mess around with Juwan this week, but I, I, I don't know what your options are.
26:11I'd play, I'd play Muth on the other side.
26:14Yeah. Over Juwan. Probably Mike, would you play Juwan?
26:17I would play Juwan over the Muth. The 49ers are six and out taken on the two and four Atlanta Falcons.
26:23Vegas line here, San Fran, only two and a half point road favorites over under 49 and a half.
26:29It's been bet down a little bit. Falcons are at home.
26:33Is that line surprised you at all? Wow. Yeah, it does.
26:36I mean the, the, the 49ers have just been beating the crap out of everybody.
26:41I think to me the, the linchpin of the passing offense is not going to play in this game.
26:47Right. And so without Mike Evans, maybe that's a little bit of the story.
26:52Second half was pretty rough for the 49ers. They could not move the football.
26:56You're not going to have Debo back. Christian Kirk's return, whether he plays or not, doesn't matter to me.
27:02Um, Brandon cooks as your leading receiver. That's not great.
27:05You know, Kittle is an auto start. McCaffrey's an auto start.
27:09If Evans is active, you take your chances on an early exit.
27:12That's the problem. Oh man. I can't imagine Mike Evans.
27:16I mean, I, you can, because he always does it and plays when you don't expect him to that feels very, very dangerous.
27:23I almost think if he plays this week, I wouldn't play him, which sounds crazy because he's always great when he's on the field.
27:30I can't. I mean, they've got their by week the week after give this man a little bit of rest.
27:37Yeah. Brock Purdy. You can play him. Yeah. It's not as it's not juicy without Evans.
27:42Correct. Correct. He is still like, he's still a solid play.
27:45Yeah. Got stuck in my throat there. Uh, he's still a solid play, but the ceiling is, it's harder to reach without Mike Evans.
27:53On the other side, Mike, uh, you were let down last week.
27:57Bijan. Yeah. Yeah. Only 11 touches. They let the game completely get away with John and pits.
28:02Yeah. It's, this'll be a good bounce back game for Bijan.
28:05The, the place you can beat the 49ers in terms of fancy points is the running back.
28:11They give up a ton of, uh, running back receptions.
28:14So I would expect to bounce back in that part of the game for Bijan as well.
28:19You seen, uh, the snap counts rising from Mr.
28:22or number two solidified spot. Jahan Dotson lately. Yeah.
28:25I mean, after, after the two fumbles from, uh, their rookie wide receiver last week, I, I don't expect that to change either.
28:32Jahan Dotson is has branch getting starts or getting some options on the, getting some options, but I'm just saying it's not going to change this week.
28:41Dotson will be their clear number two. Kyle pits.
28:44Couple of good weeks. Same, uh, heating up philosophy, Mike.
28:47Yeah. I, he just universally feels like a trap every single time.
28:51And it's a tough matchup against San Francisco. I, I would, I mean, obviously at tight end or pits, I would play
28:58love over pits fan or pits hits. Yeah. I think Henry tonight or pits.
29:02That's a fair question. See that the one thing that pits seems to be offering you is the boom potential that some
29:09of these like kind of mid-level guys couldn't pull off.
29:12Cause he did it last year in the playoffs.
29:15He did it this past week. He at least has the athletic capacity to give you the super game.
29:21Yeah. I would agree. I think that what you're looking for in those decisions is touchdowns.
29:26Who's most likely to score touchdowns. Um, Kyle pits, we know, uh, obviously scored two last week.
29:31He can't get it done, but I think Hunter Henry in that game environment against Chicago, your start of the week has
29:38a higher odds to catch a touchdown than Kyle pits against the 49ers.
29:42Anything else in this game? You guys want to bring up that I forgot about?
29:47No, this one's, this one's pretty simple. It's like, I think the, the only question mark to me is Brock Purdy.
29:54I I'm, I'm a little nervous of him without.
29:57Okay. So for you, Jay, are you playing Brock?
30:00Are you playing, uh, the shuck daddy? I've got shuck and Aaron Rogers in that game, both ahead of Purdy.
30:06Okay. Cleveland's four and two. Let that sink in taking on the one and five Tennessee Titans.
30:11The Vegas line here is Cleveland minus one and a half.
30:15The over under is 37 and a half. That line is too close for the button, but I expect like, I think Tennessee will win another game.
30:23Both teams coming off the big upset win last week.
30:26Tennessee at home. Tennessee at home. Did you realize they had six sacks last week?
30:31Jason made the unpopular suggestion of starting one of the worst teams in the league at D on the defensive side.
30:38I think you can do it. Yeah. I mean, Deshaun Watson is always, you can always play a DST against Deshaun Watson.
30:45Yeah. Even if he ends up with a good game because he takes so many sacks, there are turnovers, um, mistakes, mistakes, all of that.
30:53And the fact that this is a home game for Tennessee, I think you can actually put them in there.
30:59I mean, the, the, the hard challenge in making the case for Tennessee winning the game is simply, can they score on Cleveland's defense?
31:06They shut out Baltimore last week. We know that Cam Ward is, I mean, I'd play both defenses in this game.
31:13Um, but like you said, if the defense can make a player too, if Cardinal take and make a player too, if
31:20Tony Pollard can get another 20 opportunities on the ground, which by the way, somehow, some way, Tony Pollard, 20 plus opportunities in three or four weeks.
31:29Highest week was RB 16 in that stretch. It's crazy.
31:32It's, he's kind of been doing this. I hate it.
31:35I hate what happened to Tony, our sweet, sweet Tony.
31:38Yeah. I mean, Mike, I remember him drafting him in a mock draft this off season, uh, being so in on Tony Pollard.
31:45What are you talking about? No, I remember there was a mock draft where you, you took him and you hated yourself.
31:52I mean, that's what my memory was. And you hated him.
31:56I drafted and then immediately went, I don't know.
31:59I should not have done that. Shouldn't have done that.
32:02That was a waste. It is funny for a guy that is getting 20 opportunities, 15 opportunities, 20 opportunities.
32:08You feel like you can't play him. Uh, or you can you play any of the running backs on Cleveland this week?
32:15That's Judkins returns, which I think we're expecting him to do.
32:18I think Judkins does return, but the fact that Dylan Sampson is back and he's coming off of his own ankle injury.
32:25I don't expect Judkins to just go right back to being, first of all, at a hundred percent strength.
32:31And then, you know, in the workhorse role for sure.
32:34The matchup is fine. Um, but I, I would prefer to give it a week to see, to see what we get from Judkins.
32:42He, it's not like he was dominating, you know, for fantasy on the whole season before he went down to an ankle injury.
32:49All right. Uh, Denzel Boston, how are we feeling right now about him and fan and those guys have had big weeks.
32:56They've had bad weeks. Bummed out about last week, but I'm still playing him.
33:01Yeah. I think, I mean, Boston has looked really good.
33:04Um, he's still getting deep targets, 16.5 average depth of target.
33:07Uh, I, I would be fine having him in there as, as a flex option.
33:12Uh, you know, he's not a must start guy.
33:15Yeah. He's definitely a must try to have on your roster and hopes that the breakout continues, but he's passed the eyeball test and he's getting enough targets.
33:24Um, I, I would much rather start Carnell Tate on the other side.
33:28Sure. Um, who's, you know, had one of his breakout games last week, really over the last month after those first two
33:35weeks, uh, his four game stretch, including a game where he only had one catch would be 93 receptions for almost 1200 yards.
33:42So while Cam Ward is not getting it done and the pie is a gross moldy, small little pie, he's gobbling up a whole lot of it.
33:50Um, so I do think that Carnell Tate is someone I would definitely start as a wide receiver.
33:56Did you know that Carnell Tate accounted for about 70% of the receiving yards for the Titans last week?
34:02He passed for 102 yards. Well, hold on. I'm trying to give a good stat here.
34:07That's exactly what I'm talking about. The, the, the, the, the pie is so moldy.
34:12The culture two and four and, uh, having troubles.
34:15They get the privilege of coming to Minnesota. It was five and Oh, and coming off a by Minnesota six and a half point favorites.
34:23The over under is 41 and a half. This is, this is brutal.
34:27Like you joked last week. It's nice that the Vikings are on by cause you don't have to think about the team playing the Vikings.
34:35The Vikings defense is number one against quarterbacks. One number one against running backs.
34:39I guess tight ends. They are unfortunately are also number one.
34:43Yeah. And they're only top five against wide receivers.
34:45So like they just don't, they don't give up points to anybody, but, but Daniel Jones, I mean, and right now the
34:52predictability of this offense, like this is Jonathan Taylor in a logout.
34:56You play Taylor cause you play Taylor every week.
34:59I mean, maybe you can make the case for Keenan Allen.
35:02Yeah. But I don't, I don't think I can.
35:05I don't really want to mess around with this.
35:08The case for Keenan Allen is. These are not big plays.
35:12These are little, little plays. 9, 11. Yes. The targets.
35:15The targets of the past three games. But if he gets 11 targets in this game against the Vikings, does he get 55 yards?
35:22Yeah. Really? I think he would. I don't think he does.
35:26Not much more. PPR desperation play. Yeah. I like Aaron Jones.
35:29I think Jordan Mason's in play if he starts, but probably tempered expectations.
35:33Maybe not. Do you disagree? I think Jordan Mason.
35:36My expectations will not be tempered. No, I think Jordan Mason is a good start this week.
35:42Um, the, the, the running game. I mean, this is, this is the perfect game for Jordan Mason in the sense that
35:49I expect the Vikings to go in there and win, to be up and to be running the ball, not needing to
35:56catch up, not needing to really have that second half of like, okay, we got to drop back to pass.
36:02We need Aaron Jones in there. This is going to be one of those like four minute drill for two quarter potential games.
36:09Um, this game's in Minnesota, right? So I just don't see how the Colts get it done.
36:15I mean, this is the NFL. Any team can beat any other team on any given week, but it's hard to imagine.
36:21You like Kyler? He's streamable. Kyler's streamable. But again, kind of what I'm saying about the like Jordan Mason versus Aaron Jones.
36:28I don't know that they're going to need to throw it a ton in the second half.
36:34So that's, that's where I get worried about it.
36:37Now, now Jefferson's prize picks projection, 74 and a half on the yard.
36:41That's pretty good. I mean, it's Jefferson. Jefferson, he's Jefferson, but yeah, this game could get out of hand real fast and Hawkinson.
36:48If you need to, he's, he's playable. All right.
36:51We'll take a break. We'll jump into some more matchups.
36:54Uh, you guys probably want to talk Miami and the jets.
36:57I'm going to make you wait a second. The Miami dolphins at Oh, and five take on the two and four jets,
37:04Vegas line jets minus four and a half over under 39.
37:08And all are. Um, Kyle would like to illustrate.
37:11Well, first he said, this game looks to be a true fart fest.
37:15Yeah. So in all caps, which we do agree with, um, cause the jets games, they just have low totals.
37:21They play slowly, but then he did a little Venn diagram situation of have you participated in a game that closed at
37:2850 plus points in terms of the over under since the beginning of the Biden administration of the Biden and every team has, except for the jets.
37:37The jets since 2021 have not had a single game with a high over under above 50 jets.
37:42Join us in the modern era. And so, so the jets are playing the 30th ranked team in terms of pace of play.
37:50And then Miami is 28th in pace of play.
37:52Yeah. This game's going to have 12 snaps. I mean, it feels that way.
37:57I'm surprised that the over under 39 and a half.
38:00I mean, you're going to, you're going to continue to start more than you think.
38:05It is kind of crazy, right? Because you're going to continue to start Garrett Wilson.
38:10Yeah. And you're going to, um, I don't think you can sit Ollie Gordon.
38:14I was going to say, you're going to sit Ollie Gordon.
38:17Those two are in. You start him. Yes. I would.
38:21Yes. Sorry. I would start Ollie Gordon. I would start Garrett Wilson.
38:24Um, Brees Hall, if he's active, he's a, he did not practice on Wednesday.
38:29It was a Wednesday. That would be easier for people.
38:32If Braylon was by himself. Yes. If Braylon is by himself, then I think he's a good start.
38:38I agree. People that went out and paid money for Omar Cooper jr.
38:42Probably pining for a start, maybe a bi-week fill in.
38:45Don't do it. Would you play pop Douglas tonight or.
38:48Yes. I would not play Omar Cooper. So you play Odunze tonight as well?
38:52Absolutely. I I'm excited that Omar Cooper, uh, looked good in his, you know, is the, the first time we really got
38:59to see him play a whole game. Uh, I picked him up in a couple of places.
39:05It's a, it's a pickup and hold and watch.
39:08Um, we're hopeful that this, look, this jets team, if Omar Cooper is good and Kenyan Sadiq is good adding them with
39:15Garrett Wilson and you get Brees Hall back at some point in time, this could be a team in the next, you
39:22know, in the next few administrations that does get to a 50 point over under.
39:26Sure. The problem is the dolphins are just such a stinky, stinky team that wide receivers don't score points on them.
39:33Mm hmm. No, the whole year. That's the way it's been.
39:36And yeah, they've given up the third fewest points to wide receivers and it's not because they're good.
39:42It's because you don't need to use. They play and they play slow.
39:46So you get the combination. Yeah. The points go everywhere else.
39:50It does mean if Brees Hall does not play Braylon Allen's probably a fantastic start.
39:54Now you don't play a pass catcher for Malik.
39:57No, he is ranked 33rd in completion percentage, 33rd in touchdown rate, 32nd in passer rating, 33rd in off target rate, 29th
40:04in sack rate and second in ADOT. Half of his stats being 33rd in a 32 team league is pretty bad.
40:11Well, the second in ADOT is very funny though.
40:14Cause he just is, he's, he's like, get a load of this.
40:17Yeah. Would you rather play Malik Washington, the, the waiver wire rental or Keenan Allen?
40:22Keenan. Yeah. Keenan. Okay. Tampa Bay's one in five, maybe the return of Baker taking on the Carolina Panthers, big divisional game, kind of a huge game.
40:31Really? I mean, you've got a competitive division where at one in five, you might not feel like you're out of it.
40:38Yeah. If you can go win this game in Carolina, which will be a tough task.
40:43Vegas line is Carolina minus three over under 44 and a half.
40:47You're if the bucks lose this divisional game and they're one in six, they're toast.
40:51Yeah. This is a big deal. This is a playoff game for the Buccaneers.
40:56They have to win this game. If they want any hope, if they win it, just illustrating, you know, if the Falcons
41:03don't go and upset their opponent, right? They're underdogs.
41:05Which is the Niners. Which is the Niners and the Saints, who I think will lose to Pittsburgh.
41:11The Buccaneers would be tied with those two teams with a win.
41:15Wow. So that's, that's the difference. And they'd have a tiebreaker with the Panthers right now.
41:20Yeah. So it really is a big game for these teams.
41:23That's why Baker's probably really, really wanting to get back out on the field.
41:28There are a lot of names in this game.
41:31Chuba has been an auto start. Bucky's your start of the week.
41:35The running backs are kind of sorted out. I mean, a book has had a couple of good weeks in a row
41:42production wise, 17th and 13th at wide receiver. Yeah.
41:44I think a book is like 16 targets last week from Jalen Daniels.
41:48He's probably handshaking Baker real strong grip. Oh, you'd think he wants Jalen?
41:53Cause I can't, I were a book. I would want the guy who's giving me production.
41:58So is a book a play for you this week against Carolina?
42:01Well, right now I believe he's still in the concussion protocol.
42:05Um, so that he's gotta, he's gotta, that'll be sorted.
42:08He's got a clear through that first. Um, imagining that he is in this game, dude, he's such a brutal player.
42:15Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, I think he's a, he's a, uh, one of those questions, but you've got to ask working on the side.
42:23It's concussion slash foot. He's working on the side today with a trainer.
42:27The first month with Baker Mayfield, 8.8, 8.8, 8.7, 2.3.
42:30The rookie comes in and you're at 14 points twice.
42:33Yeah. One was a rushing touchdown. Yeah. No, but it's like, how do you load?
42:38So then how do you go from that to like full confidence of like a full send?
42:43Okay. I think that there's a, I'm putting a book back.
42:47I think there's a lot of questionable players that I would play over a book, like Jeremy Bernard and Carnell Tate.
42:53Okay. My start of the week, Jalen Waddle. Um, I don't think, I don't think that a book is someone that you,
43:00you can't start, you know, uh, previous good games from Omar Cooper and Trey Tucker, uh, Xavier worthy.
43:06I would start a book over those guys. So he is, he's in that kind of a, a tier, but it's got to pass concussion protocol first.
43:14If you want, uh, if you want five points and that's it, Godwin is also available in every league.
43:20What if a book wasn't there? Do you think that that would change things enough for Godwin?
43:26No, no. Just Otten? No, no. Godwin is. If a book is gone, maybe Kate Otten becomes the, this week's break glass tight end.
43:33Maybe the matchup isn't bad and he would be needed.
43:37Uh, Kate on frequently, he can, well, he comes through when, when players are out.
43:41Tedderall McMillan, Jalen Coker. He can play them both.
43:44Yep. Darren Waller seems like he's a, not a thing.
43:47I mean, no, everyone else we've talked about. His, his highest yardage game on the year.
43:52He did have a 51 yard game, but zero last week.
43:56If you, if zeros in the realm and we're talking about guys like Otten and Henry and, um, Higby and Loveland and pits and more of them.
44:04Well, Waller can always get a touchdown, but if you don't get that, you're going to be, you're going to be disgustingly unhappy.
44:12Sort of a breaking news. Well, we don't need to.
44:15Cause we're talking about that game right now. Cincinnati three and two Baltimore four and two Mike, I'm going to turn it over to you in a second.
44:24Vegas line since he minus one and a half, but that could change any second.
44:28Oh, over unders 48 and a half. Mike, what's the news?
44:32We got the latest breaking news is that Lamar Jackson just jogged onto practice or onto the practice field in uniform.
44:38Yeah. I don't, this is a football uniform. Oh, it just says in a uniform.
44:43I assume so. Um, in the dress blues, like a military, right?
44:47Yeah. He couldn't do that. Um, this is a big game.
44:50I mean, this is a divisional game. This is a home game against Cincinnati where Cincinnati after he, he, people thought he
44:57wasn't playing is now favored since Baltimore did not look very good last week.
45:02No, if Lamar is out, I would certainly believe the Bengals are going to win.
45:07If Lamar plays. Yeah. The Browns shut him down in the second half, man.
45:11Now Lamar playing like, I mean, it was moments ago when we said, Hey, he's probably not going to play in this game.
45:18The limp, the issue, not having the rushing, like it'd be forces himself into this game.
45:23Is he going to run the ball the same?
45:26Yeah. That I would be skeptical of whether or not he would be really good for Zay flowers for Jacoby lane.
45:33I think that he, he, he would be great.
45:36Um, this defense that, and more so the offense of the bangles, it's going to score.
45:41I'm going to break down the video. Yeah. This is a light jog and not a full uniform.
45:46You keep talking, Jason. I'll let you know what I see.
45:50All right. So rubbing his hands. If slightly commentating, let's listen.
45:53No, Jason, you keep going. Okay. He is slightly jogging.
45:56I'll talk at the same time as you. Uh, I mean, that's a jog.
46:01Yeah. If Lamar is behind center, that's not a full uniform.
46:04Then I would say that Zay flowers and Jacoby lane are guys that are interesting.
46:09I mean, Zay flowers is starting no matter what, but now you're excited for him.
46:14Jacoby lane becomes someone that maybe you could put in in a pinch.
46:18Uh, otherwise if, if it's Tyler Huntley there, I'm not playing Jacoby lane.
46:22Um, and Zay flowers becomes, you know, a, a probable start, but there's a world where maybe I've got someone else on
46:29my roster where I could, I could put them on the bench.
46:33Um, Chase Brown, Derek Henry. Yeah. Jamar chase and Higgins.
46:36Always. You talked about lane. Probably not messing around with tight ends when you've got the healthy pass.
46:42I mean, the Mark Andrews is an ultimate dart.
46:44If Lamar is playing because the bangles can't guard the tight end position.
46:49Did you say fart or dart? Yeah. Well, both probably.
46:52We also, I think that one of the most interesting things to keep your eyes on for this game.
46:58Chase. Nice. Chase Brown. Is that how you last year was a really slow starter and an absolute dominant league winner to finish the year.
47:06We're hoping that that's what happens again this year.
47:08Yes. However, there was a change that we never saw last year that we did see.
47:14And then they went to their by. And so you have to pay attention to the utilization between Chase Brown and Samajay Pirine coming out of the by.
47:22Pirine's not a bad stash. Pirine last week had more carries than, and prior to that week at the podium, Zach Taylor
47:29was saying, because Chase Brown's just been not good.
47:32He's not getting it done. And he said, we're going to have to take a look and maybe divvy up that work.
47:39Literally talking about giving Chase Brown less work. They come out that week.
47:43They give, I'm going to break down another video.
47:46Okay. Give me one second. They give Chase Brown 13.
47:49They give Chase Brown 13 carries. They give Samajay Pirine 14 carries.
47:53And then, lo and behold, they won the game.
47:56Samajay Pirine goes out with 68 yards, 39. Like, Samajay was better.
48:00So now they go into the bye week. If they come out this week and it's a 50-50 split, I will not
48:07be surprised and I will be pretty scared for Chase Brown.
48:10Mike will be pretty mad. Yeah. I won't be surprised.
48:13I won't be shocked if that happens. How, but at the same time, we know who Samajay Pirine is.
48:19Yeah. And at 31. He's an old veteran running back.
48:22That's that I'm sure every once in a while.
48:25He's supposed to be an easy guy to beat in this committee.
48:29Right. I mean, here's the thing. There were two guys.
48:32Chase Brown's vision has not been good. There have been, there were two, two guys that really changed when we did our
48:39fantasy draft redo and it was like Hampton and Chase Brown.
48:43Mm-hmm. They were not in the same spot. The Giants are 3-2 on blastoff.
48:47That's their record. Uh, the Houston Texans are two and four.
48:51Oh, good. This line is right where it needs to be.
48:54Vegas line. Houston minus 10 and a half. The over-under is 42 and a half.
48:59The game's in Houston. Wow. And, uh, you heard what I said before when I said, I think the Steelers are going to kill him.
49:07Yeah. The Texans are going to murder the Giants.
49:09The Texans are rejuvenated. D'Amico, D'Amico Ryan's has been dominating the defensive side of things.
49:14Doubt double nine. JJ McCarthy. Good freaking luck. The problem with McCarthy is that you have, you have to the math.
49:21You have too many pass attempts in this game to not make mistakes that are going to really significantly, uh, impact you.
49:28So to me, it's like, goodness gracious. Stroud's the start of the week.
49:32You know, the funny thing is, is they're 10 and a half point favorites.
49:36Woody Marks. I guess you can play him. Yes.
49:39Um, Nico. Yeah. Who would be the next wide receiver you start if you had to for Houston?
49:45Oh man. Uh, no. Yeah. I mean, I, I, part of me wants to say Marv.
49:50No, I get it. Well, nine routes, but they, they had him for half a week.
49:55I mean, you know, they, they, of course he was only going to run a few routes now that he's there for two weeks.
50:03Maybe he runs, you know, 15 routes this week and it's awful, but maybe he's just like the number two wide receiver
50:10at some point this year, he will be the number two, right?
50:13Yeah. But he's still bad until I see otherwise fair.
50:16Yeah. No, not as a good player. Um, so for fantasy purposes, I don't really want a second wide receiver.
50:23Also tank Dell, man. Did you see him talking at the podium?
50:27No, he was, I do. This is awesome. Yes.
50:29He was talking about, he's not nervous to get hit.
50:33He's not nervous to take his first time. He's like, when he, when he gets that first reception, he goes like, I
50:40don't care if it's two yards or 20 yards, I don't care what it is.
50:44I'm going to get up and dance. He's like, he's not too harsh as you should.
50:49Oh yeah. I mean, come on, come on, take get a catch three straight top 10 weeks for Malik neighbors.
50:56Does he do it this week against Houston? Uh, man.
50:59I mean, obviously their defense has been improved the last couple of weeks when D'Amico Ryan's has taken over, but I, I,
51:06I don't think Malik gets to 20, but I think he's absolutely, uh, you know, wide receiver one worthy.
51:12The targets have been there 20 targets, 15 targets.
51:15There's no one else to throw the ball to.
51:17And if you do think that the Texans are going to boat race them, they're going to be throwing the ball and
51:24it might be all in the fourth quarter when it's more of a prevent defense.
51:29But also I don't think that this, like I was surprised it was 10 and a half.
51:35I think the giants are going to compete in this game.
51:38The only, obviously if McCarthy comes out and throws an early pick six or something, that's how this game gets out.
51:45We do another a hundred dollar bet. I don't combine this game.
51:48Let's combine this game in Pittsburgh. Okay. And just use the lines.
51:52Uh, I mean, if you're surprised at both lines and you thought they'd be competitive, let's just play them with the lines.
51:59So we'll give you the point. Either one of us would have to go to, you know, yeah.
52:05For a hundred bucks. Yeah. And if we tie, it's nothing.
52:08If one of us transfer fifties, that's true. Yeah.
52:11Jason would do that. Yeah. So you get the giants and 10 and a half and you get the saints and three and a half.
52:19Okay. And two and O is, is the money.
52:22There you go. I like it. I like it.
52:25Um, wait, am I supposed to do this now?
52:28Yeah. No, I'm not hitting a water bet for a money bet.
52:31Hmm. We need a new drop then. Well, because we need a new, we've been exchanging money.
52:37Yes. A new Andy Jason bet. I should send you the money right now and do your little trick.
52:43So you have to double pay me. I won't be sending you anything.
52:47Isaiah likely Malik neighbors and log out. We're not messing with running backs.
52:51Are we, you guys in on cam Scadaboo or Tyrone Tracy or I'm letting it shake out.
52:56Yeah. And, and, and we're definitely going to be watching and paying attention.
53:00They want to have someone establish themselves. Uh, I am more interested in who they're going to give the opportunities to this.
53:07Cut one guy a week until they have one left.
53:11Oh, that's great. They did it with Najee. Yeah.
53:13This week it should be hunger game. Whoever is like, whoever's the worst this week.
53:18Yeah. You're out. You're gone. Yeah. And then at the end you've sorted it.
53:23I love that. Josh Jacobs is that practice, by the way, injury update, um, or not injury update, just update practice update.
