0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright Welcome in!
0:06Okay, I'm gonna go off. Not everyone can handle the pressure dude.
0:10No listen. Not everyone can, they don't got the stuff.
0:13Andy's not handling it. He doesn't got the stuff.
0:16I have to talk for a second. Doesn't have the stuff.
0:19I have the stuff. I don't know. Talk about your weak bones.
0:23Go. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers. What I want to say is that, number one, we have the best job on planet Earth.
0:30I'm thankful for it. I'm thankful for the Foot Clan.
0:33We just celebrated 2,000 shows. There is no better job in the world.
0:38I want people to understand I don't take that for granted.
0:41Now with that out of the way! Number two, there is just nothing.
0:45There is nothing like the feeling when you have a miserable Sunday related to fantasy football, and you have to say to
0:52yourself, I gotta go talk about this tomorrow. I can't forget about fantasy.
0:56Like all you out there, you can go do something different today.
1:00You can turn the show off. I bet you, I guarantee you there are people out there that when they have a
1:07bad week, they don't want to listen to this show on Monday morning.
1:11I get it. But to know that I gotta wake up, and I gotta go put the Monday Pundays in.
1:18I don't want to think about fantasy. I gotta go do the show and talk about fantasy.
1:23I know what the bad ones are gonna be, Jay.
1:26Mm-hmm. I can find some players. No, my players are fine.
1:30I'm gonna get median. I shouldn't even be that pissed.
1:33Doesn't got stuff. But I'm telling you, when you freaking face Tony freaking Pollard.
1:38The Tony Pollard one is amazing. When you have Goff, Gibbs, and Amon Ra, and you face Jameson, and he gets multiple
1:45touchdowns, and they tried to give him a third.
1:47They really did. He got pushed out. And then Luther Burton has his best game of the year against you, and they
1:54all have the best game of the year. That was inevitable.
1:58Why is Tony Pollard's stats up on the screen?
2:01I'm... Context. Context. I know he's the number one on the week.
2:05It really should be four touchdowns. It should be four touchdowns.
2:08When I knew I was facing Tony Pollard, I was like, sweet.
2:12Yeah. 37 points later, I'm gonna lose to another crap team in our league.
2:16I don't know. They scored a lot of points.
2:19Oh, yeah, they did. They did pretty good. Don't worry.
2:23I scroll back to every week they played this year.
2:26Oh, you know who else they had? They had Bo Nix, who they were able to acquire because you dropped him, and
2:33they picked him up and played him against you and beat you with him.
2:37I... But don't worry. I dropped him for Geno Smith, who had a great week, right?
2:42He did. Geno was great. But then I traded for Jared Goff instead.
2:46Hmm. Jared Goff was okay. I'm so smart at job.
2:50Jared, those bones. You shouldn't want me on the show.
2:53I don't deserve to be here. They're brittle. Get this man some milk.
2:572,000 shells should be it. Can we have milk in the fridge here?
3:01Can we get him some calcium? We're warming up a bottle for him right now.
3:06It's lonely up there. Yeah. I tried to tell you.
3:09It's a super duper champ. It's tough. You guys think like, oh, Mike's got it all together.
3:15It's hard. Shut the hell up. It's hard, man.
3:17I'm telling you, I didn't want to do anything.
3:20Oh, and to boot, it's just, you know, Mike, I got weak bones.
3:24There you go. I got weak bones. Let's react to the weekend in a different way.
3:30The trophy will probably shatter you into 1,000 pieces.
3:32You don't deserve it. It's so heavy. I've won the trophy many times, Mike.
3:37It suited me well. All right? Then get it together.
3:40Act like a champ. I know. I know. I'm mad at Tony Pollard.
3:44I'm sure he'll be in this segment. Honestly, if you had kept all of this rant towards Tony Pollard, we would have rallied.
3:52The best part is I'm looking at the Monday pun day.
3:55Shut up. And I don't see any Tony Pollard puns in here.
3:59There's none. For the good because Andy. Well, I put them together.
4:03Listen. Unless Brian submitted it, no one else played him.
4:06Tony Pollard. No, he was starting. I saw the stats.
4:09He was starting in 40% of leagues. Oh, man.
4:1240% of leagues. He, uh, it was. Fantasy is real.
4:15Yeah. Fantasy is, it impacts you. Jason is playing for next year.
4:19He's living in. Oh, dude, this is great. He's living a dream right now.
4:23I don't remember the last time that it has been so, because I'm playing for 2027.
4:29I've, I've sold my assets. I'm acquiring, uh, picks and, and it's wonderful.
4:33I've got nothing to lose. You better be working.
4:36You've strengthened your bones. Oh, I'm. Cause I don't want none of this from you.
4:40I'm gonna milk your protein regimen right now. I'll be fine.
4:44All right. You're, we're into Monday pun day. You sent in your reactions to the weekend.
4:49Nothing on this show so far has been sophisticated.
4:52So we need to get, let's get, get to what we're all about.
4:56Sophistication. And let's start it off with. Oh my goodness.
4:59Yes. Yes. How about Tony Goddard? Just adding that one in for you.
5:03The, uh, the immaculate Concepcion. And boss Jacobs is back.
5:06All aboard the Pollard Express. Choo choo. I told you there was one in there.
5:11I'm going to keep adding them. What about a T.
5:14Mendez Higgins? And hunky Irving. Oh, Emanuel Thrilson. Oh, also played Emanuel Wilson.
5:19Sorry. Uh, what about this guy? Yay. Mason Williams.
5:21And Zay powers. Of course. All right, Andy, this section's for you.
5:25The bad of the weekend. Like Bryce Dung. Oh, Sam.
5:28Oh, Sam Laporta potty's back. Everybody. Tyler. Hig bust.
5:31And Jalen. Jalen choker. Oh, what are you skid marks?
5:35This week was Isaiah. Unlikely. Yeah. Chuba Hubbard. I refuse to read this.
5:39No, Mike, it's yours. Yeah, it is yours. Ken Walker.
5:42Yeah. How dare you? How about poop? Everything he's given you.
5:45How about poop Douglas? Okay. I like that. Jacoby lame.
5:49Uh, Nico colonoscopy. That's my favorite. Yeah. Trying to, I'm trying to let you, uh, end on a high note every week.
5:56Nico colonoscopy. Um, Monday, Monday, every Sunday night. Some good ones this week, guys.
6:00I appreciate it. You leave alone at the fantasy.
6:03I mean, I got, it was a bad part.
6:06Part of last night was Ken Walker getting doubled up on by Emmanuel Wilson in my matchup.
6:11Um, at the FF ballers on X. If you want to submit them, uh, let's jump in bank on it.
6:18Smartly presented by us bank. All right. We are looking at three players deciding whether their performances this week are something you can bank on or not.
6:26And of course we're starting with Tony Pollard. Why not?
6:29Tony Pollard. Don't. Tony. Oh, does he play? Does he play Andy next week?
6:34Let me look. No. Oh no. You can, you can set the tape.
6:38Stop showing his stats. Just stop it. That's part of this segment.
6:42Yeah. No, but I'd 25 carries 129 rushing. There's three rushing touchdowns.
6:46Three reception. Should have had more rushing touchdowns. First.
6:49The best part of the day for Tony Pollard when I was facing him was that four minutes into the game, the
6:56announcer goes his 77 rushing yards are the highest on the season.
6:59Four minutes in. Yeah. I just did a quick.
7:02I thought the Browns had a defense. I did too.
7:05Uh, so Tony Pollard weeks one through six scored a combined.
7:09Oh, don't do this. 47.3 points. 35 yesterday. Yeah.
7:12Yeah. I'm aware. Um, first Titans player with touchdowns on the first two drives of a game since Chris Johnson in 2013.
7:19Uh, he was great. Uh, can you bank on it?
7:22Don't bank on it. No, you cannot bank on Tony Pollard.
7:26This is, it was nice. Didn't they tell you they were going to win that game?
7:31Um, what was our bet? I think so. What was our $100 bet?
7:35Uh, you definitely did not win that. I definitely did not.
7:38I mean, I know I won the Pittsburgh part.
7:41Yeah. Well, you did cover the spread. You said it was going to be a blowout.
7:46Um, but the other one we, the bet was the spread.
7:50Right. The other one was you thought that the Texans would easily cover their 10 and a half point spread.
7:56They lost the game. Oh yeah. So we split.
7:59Yeah. So no one knows anybody. I like how you just dunked on me on both of them, even though I mean,
8:06you said both were going to be absolute blow.
8:09It was 19 to 10 and then they, they went off size.
8:13It was 19 to 10. Not a sufficient enough win.
8:16No. Hey Jay, who, I mean triple the spread.
8:19Who won the game for the Giants? The Giants.
8:22No, no, no. The quarterback. Oh, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine, nine looked great.
8:26That's Brooklyn. Nine, nine, nine for the unsophisticated. I've watched the show.
8:30Just sounded funny. Uh, Caleb Douglas, nine, nine dolphins wide receiver two for 70 and two first game back from the injury.
8:37Uh, this one is really, I think it's really exciting because you have a player who looked so good in camp.
8:44The drum beat was higher than just about anyone in, in all of, you know, preseason football.
8:49Uh, the opportunity was there. He comes out week one and looks pretty good.
8:54He was like, Oh, okay. Week one, he gets seven targets, five for 94.
8:58That's more than pretty good for a rookie. Absolutely.
9:01Rookie in his first game after all that drum beat.
9:04And then he gets injured in week two and we haven't seen him since then.
9:09Then he comes out and day to pick here.
9:12And I know, yeah, day to pick. I know, you know, he only had three targets.
9:17This wasn't some monster game, but he looked good again.
9:20He broke the tackles. He had the 63 yard touchdown run where he stays in bounds, tight ropes.
9:26The sideline is it's just exciting to have. I mean, we have no rookies this year.
9:31It's like this year's rookie class is just due to comparatively to what we are used to having at this point in the season.
9:39So I'm really excited to get Caleb Douglas back on the field.
9:42This is a team that that needs weapons needs, you know, somewhere to go.
9:47And, you know, if I'm calling bank on it, I would definitely continue.
9:51Really? I would continue to bank on the player.
9:54You know, I'm excited for him. I'm not excited for.
9:57He's only played two full games, five for ninety four, two for seventy and two touchdowns.
10:02Malik had 30 something fancy points this week because the Jets defense sucks.
10:06Apparently we got we learned some stuff this week.
10:09I mean, there were there were a few situations where you thought this is something I could bank on like playing defenses
10:16against Miami and the Miami came out and had a pretty good performance overall.
10:21So it wasn't like so looking at the Miami distribution.
10:24I mean, am I seeing this right? Three targets for Washington, three Douglas, three Bell.
10:29And it wasn't like a ton. It wasn't like someone else hogged the target share while Douglas only had the three targets.
10:36Yeah. Well, it was a very unique situation for the Dolphins this week because they were up.
10:41And so that's something that we don't expect to have happen often and hasn't happened yet.
10:46That they, you know, were leading a game all the way until the end.
10:51Therefore, not throwing the ball that much. But yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty exciting.
10:56I go bank on it for Caleb Douglas. What do you?
10:59I'm there. I'm bank on it. I mean, I'm going to pick him up for sure.
11:04So I guess Mike play the game. Well, I'm I'm trying to think you get to say one or the other on record.
11:12Don't be a baby. Have some strong bones. Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:16Sure thing. Little baby. Bank on it or don't bank on it.
11:20Bank on it or don't bank on it. We're going to we'll bank on Casey Concepcion.
11:25Got it done. Eight for one twenty nine. The breakout game for the Browns wide receiver.
11:30Now it came at the expense of Mr. David Boston.
11:33Or did I say? Dento. I got my Arizona.
11:36I always go back to the old school. Boston gearhead.
11:39Yes. I love that. Yes. The gear. That's all I think about.
11:43Is the promise of David Boston. He was going to be the next big thing.
11:48And he was. He was humongous. He probably. There was a reason he was so humongous.
11:53He probably took all stuff that's illegal now. You know, he's in trouble.
11:57Probably Casey Concepcion Jr. For the Browns highly drafted targeted on thirty six percent of his routes.
12:03He had one of these great plays where it was like a little screen and then he just like hit himself beneath
12:10blockers and ran an extra thirty yards down the field.
12:13You know, I've been waiting for a game like this from him.
12:17The ten targets was awesome to see. Fanon was more involved again this week.
12:21But it's still. It's still Watson. Yeah. I think sadly I leave us one.
12:26I lean on the don't bank on its side for Concepcion.
12:29Not that you wouldn't want to pick him up or have him on a roster, but would you feel confident putting him right back out there next week?
12:38I mean, maybe. Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't necessarily feel confident to make him a starter next week.
12:44It's it's ironic because what we're really talking about with both of these players, Concepcion and and Douglas is relative to expectation.
12:51Right. Because if I had to put a player in my lineup next week, I would probably rather have Concepcion in my lineup than I would Caleb Douglas.
13:00But, you know, whether or not you're going to be able to bank on Concepcion being the number one target in this offense that I am skeptical of.
13:09I still think David Boston has shown more so far through the rookie season.
13:13You just did it to son of a gun.
13:16You put a mind worm in me. Uh, yes.
13:19Uh, David Boston. I David Boston. I believe we're at a hot start.
13:23Denzel Denzel Denzel. Hot start is a good show.
13:26It's a fun time. Emotions are flying high. Uh, I, I think Denzel Boston will continue to be the primary target.
13:33There's a lot of mouths to feed there. I would love to have Concepcion is great to see a true breakout.
13:39Um, it's funny cause I just feel like if you could start Concepcion, Boston, Fannin on any given week.
13:45Yeah. I mean, any, any one of them kind of rolling the dice.
13:50You are a little bit. I mean, Concepcion had what?
13:5310 targets. Boston had eight targets. It just, and ran more routes.
13:57Yeah. It just didn't turn. So you still lean that side.
14:00I still lean on the Boston side. So I'm not going to bank on, uh, him being the number one target.
14:07I lean on that. It's Watson and we, there's only enough production for one player per week.
14:12Don't bank on it. Uh, yeah, that's where I lean.
14:15That was bank on it. Smartly presented by us bank.

14:31Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league.
14:34I'm in full tilt. I just, I'm my, my psychology is in full tilt.
14:39Yeah. Yeah. And it's, uh, it's, it's so sad to see.
14:42I'll be fine. I'll be fine. Now you do realize Travion Henderson next week is going to go nuclear.
14:48No, no, he'll get, he'll get benched. He'll get benched by a Papa Josh.
14:53Oh, I'm not worried about it. So then who, whoever he can't go Jordan Mason then.
14:58Oh, for sure. Yeah. Oh, didn't Aaron Jones get banged up?
15:01Yeah. Yeah. Mike is on a, I love Mike is on a full campaign to get Jonathan Taylor traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
15:09It's kind of, it's curious to me that interest because of how bullish you guys are on the infinite talent of Jordan Mason.
15:16Well, you're overdoing it. Puns puns in there for Jordan Mason as well this week.
15:21Yeah. Overdoing it. Certainly. The thing is Jordan Mason's a very good runner on the ground.
15:26He's not involved in the passing game, which we've talked about.
15:29That's his downside. He'll need touchdowns to really have a great game.
15:33The thing was, is we think he's going to be their primary runner on the ground, which he was right.
15:4015 carries 17 opportunities, 68 yards on the carries ran four and a half yards per carry.
15:45You know, it's when it comes to fantasy, you're going to need the touchdown or receptions and he's not a receiving guy.
15:52So you're, you're going to want the receptions in this game.
15:55Uh, but he's, he is their leading runner running back for a non-defeated team.
16:00And that's, you know, coming off of the waivers or off of your IR slot is, is still valuable.
16:06Yeah. He's definitely valuable. I agree with that. I think he's very capped, like you said.
16:11So you would want, I mean, Jonathan Taylor trade rumors are on fire right now.
16:16They are. It lots of different potential destinations. Seattle's one of them, which is insane.
16:21It probably won't happen. I don't think that would be, I don't think that they would do that and then look the fool, so to speak.
16:29Uh, but Minnesota is on the list. Um, I, that, you know, their team is going to win on defense running the football.
16:36Denver's on the list. Denver would be a interesting problem.
16:40He, I don't doubt that Taylor, if you trade for Jonathan Taylor, it's you're getting all the work.
16:45It's better. I mean, there's just no world that I, you might have a worse situation or a worse game plan.
16:52Like maybe you don't run as much as Indy runs or something like that, but you trade for a guy like that.
16:59As Mike put it yesterday, it's like getting Saquon or getting Gibbs or getting it's, it's a top tier, number one talent.
17:06And he's got, he's, he comes with his contract that is, you know, a super expensive, you know, workhorse contract.
17:12If you were to trade capital and then have that contract to affect 40% of your running back series, it, it, it makes no sense.
17:20So yeah, wherever he goes, he'll get the work.
17:23Um, I, I think that, you know, Mike, if he goes, yes, if he goes, a lot of, a lot of smoke to the fire.
17:31Do you want him to go? Mike does. Because the, the Colts are like, they, they are not good at football.
17:38I want him to be traded. Uh, it's very personal reasons because I invested my league of record draft capital for next year into Jonathan Taylor.
17:46So I want him to go to the best possible situation.
17:50Him on the Colts is fine. Like it's still, I think worth the trade that I made for him.
17:56Uh, but there's definitely better scenarios out there. He's had correlation in his career of being like when they're a good team,
18:03he's a top five guy when they're a bad team.
18:06He's more, he can have mid games. He scored yesterday.
18:09Yeah. He, he is, he is similar to Derek Henry in the sense that if, if you look at splits and wins
18:16and losses, this is a guy who's going to dominate if they are winning ball games.
18:21Like, you know, last year when, when the Colts were the number one seed in week eight, he was the number one running back.
18:29He wasn't top five. He was far and away ahead of Christian McCaffrey because you can just continue to give him the ball.
18:36So you want to go to a team that's going to win games.
18:40And that's why I think if you go to a team like the Minnesota Vikings with that defense, they're currently undefeated and
18:47that's just going to give him the rock. My other thing is the Vikings.
18:52They're my, I want them to win. They're my second team that my family's from really your first now.
18:58Yeah. I mean, when you said for personal reasons, I legit thought it was because you were a Vikings face.
19:04It's, it's, it's both. It's because the Vikings and you love Kyler, the Vikings are undefeated.
19:09You heard his voice break in the middle of the word.
19:13The Kyler J. Jim McCarthy stuff this year is going to be a delight to watch how it play out.
19:19I mean, the tweets are already out there about blowing it with the, we had a franchise quarterback and now we let him go.
19:27The Vikings for an undefeated team. We, it was Kyle here.
19:30Kyle, what are the, I don't know if the markets have moved for Superbowl favorites.
19:35They're the only undefeated, but they are undefeated. San Francisco is not Kansas city.
19:40They are undefeated and they are not a, they're not the favorites to win the Superbowl.
19:45No. Cause that says a lot about the situation.
19:48Cause we haven't seen a single week this year where you feel like their offense right now.
19:53Jonathan Taylor on the Vikings makes it, they are so much better.
19:57Yes. Where are the Vikings? It goes. That's not saying.
20:00Here's, here's the Superbowl odds. You gotta go all in order right now.
20:04Okay. Niners. Bills. Chiefs. Seahawks. Rams. Ravens. Jaguars. Good Lord.
20:07Bears. Vikings. I don't, I don't disagree with one ounce of that either.
20:12And that's why they have to. They gotta go.
20:14They're a, they're not, they're not a fake good team, but they're not a Superbowl contender.
20:20They don't have the quarterback to sustain. So you have to run your touchdowns on the year.
20:25This you, you make your identity, Jonathan Taylor. Yeah.
20:28What was Kyler? Kyler yesterday was like 150 and one touchdown against a super beat up Colts.
20:33We got to take a break. We'll come back with some more news.
20:37All right. For tonight's game, the Eagles already ruled out Devante Smith with the hamstring.
20:42Don Tavian Wicks with the ankle and Saquon is questionable, but expected to play.
20:47Lamar did not play in week seven. They claim he is set to return in week eight.
20:52Potentially. There's a claims. There's a 10 game span, I think, or a 10 day span, I think where they play a couple of times.
21:00And the thought was, Hey, let's not play in this one, which was going quite well in the first half and quite poorly in the second half.
21:09The Bengals. I don't know what to think of the Ravens in general.
21:13I don't know what to think about the Bengals.
21:16Yeah. The Bengals were so bad in the first half.
21:19Like Joe Burrow going into the second half, I think had double digit fantasy points.
21:24He ends up with a nuclear game and gets benched at the end.
21:28And they, sorry, Ben, they pull him out of the game cause it's done.
21:32And he had done nothing in the first half.
21:35This, they, they got to figure their crap out.
21:38Yeah. It's, um, it's weird. All right. This, this was annoying too.
21:42We had the lions trying to waste a clock and Jameer gives us too fast to slow down.
21:48So he would have gone in for a touchdown and tries to slide, but tries to stop and spins his ankle.
21:54They say he should be okay. That was annoying to see.
21:58Christian McCaffrey was in and out of the game with a thigh injury should be okay.
22:03They have a buy this week. Aaron Jones left with a knee injury.
22:07He's going to have an MRI. They say it's not significant day to day right now.
22:12And then the giants have their trifecta of running backs, which they very much needed all three of them in this game.
22:19And then they were all like kumbaya afterwards, giving each other hugs.
22:23But Scadaboo, he felt something in his hamstring on that big 42 yard run.
22:27Um, they're reporting. He should be okay. Tyron Tracy left with a hamstring injury and then Singletary had the touchdown run.
22:34They have their buy watching Gibbs and camp Scadaboo.
22:37It is very clear that no one knows how to slide.
22:41Like the quarterbacks train, but there's tons of quarterbacks who do it horrifically wrong as well.
22:46Who was the one that did the coffin slide this week?
22:49Just slid full lay down. I don't remember. I mean, cam basically did that.
22:54He just fell onto his bed. It looked like he heard himself falling.
22:58Yeah. Very weird. Uh, Jalen Waddle chest injury. Unsurprisingly, always injured.
23:01Rashid Jaheed left early and Jalen Noel left with a turf toe injury.
23:05The Texans are another entire story. You know, John McClain, the, uh, beat writer and yeah, the, from diehard.
23:11He also played right. Uh, same guy. Yeah. John McClain played John McClain in the movie.
23:17No. Um, he just went on a tirade against the Texans cause he's, he's like the longterm Yeah.
23:22Just about how bad this offense is about how D'Amico Ryan's took over the defense and now it's worse.
23:28The defense are the, it's the worst bust of a defense in NFL history because they were so dominant.
23:34I'm surprised to hear him say negative things about the offense.
23:38Offense has been pretty good most of the year.
23:41Obviously they, they weren't great this week, but I mean, they're two and five.
23:45I mean, they, it's not been Stroud's fault. He's not blaming Stroud.
23:49He's just saying like the offense. I mean, it's not getting the job done.
23:54You can't run the football. You're not winning any games.
23:57I mean, you're not going to make the playoffs at two and five.
24:01Correct. And you just traded for Marv who looks like Marv.
24:04Again, the good news here is that they traded.
24:07Which is delightful. Yeah. It feels good. Marv ran, I believe six routes.
24:11Really? Something like that. What? Uh, he did get a touchdown.
24:15Um, and he also had a Marv drop, had a Marv drop, which was, uh, of course.
24:20Um, yeah. Nico Collins was two for six in a game like this.
24:24I mean, that is unexcusable. Yeah. Playing his target.
24:27So his target share has gone from the high twenties, low thirties to under 20% two straight weeks since the acquisition of Marvin Harrison.
24:35That is called dumb. Well, the best news is that the Cardinals have their pick.
24:40Yeah. The Cardinals do have their pick. All right.
24:43Let's talk studs. This week's fantasy stud muffins. Joe Burrow and probably the number one quarterback after a disaster of a first half.
24:50Dude. It was insane. And then Drake may Bo Nix, Malik Willis and Gino Smith.
24:55So. Hey Bo Nix. Which just takes a 62 yard home.
24:58One of the 60, we had some of the most Mickey mouse goofy.
25:02What happened to the defense? But the, the Ramon, we started with Ramond Ray Stevenson screen.
25:08Yes. How in the freaking world did he scored touchdown at the end of the half?
25:13And you have, uh, then there was two in this game.
25:16You have Bo Nix running and just running forever.
25:19And you never see a defender enter the frame.
25:22There was a, uh, a, a still frame moment on like the broadcast where you could just see him where it's like
25:29he was the only guy on the field. It was, there was no one around for 30 yards in any direction.
25:36What are these D these D these D these D are like, man, I got this guy locked.
25:41Yeah. Oh, so long. Strap. I'm, I'm, I've been logging in a box 15 seconds.
25:46I do not need to turn around and see what's happening behind me.
25:50That play was the exact same as the Ramon Ray one where there was a defender watching Bo Nix and turning back to their guy.
25:58We are not allowed to pass when you're 40 yards down the field.
26:02Why? And then RJ Harvey had a huge screen passes, but, but Gino was, I mean, I told you guys, I didn't play Bo Nix.
26:10I played Gino. I played, I played wanted to play Gino and then played him in a couple of other leagues.
26:17Bo Nix ends up with the big game because of the, the rushing.
26:21He's still two 22 and one through the air.
26:24So I don't know, you know, if you're doing a bank on it, like that would have been the one that I
26:31wanted to talk about is Bo Nix. It's like, do you bank on that against Arizona?
26:36Nope. No, I don't do that. Nope. Kansas city next week.
26:40Bencher bench of Broncos running back studs. Tony Pollard at 35.
26:43Bucky Irving, who I had at 23. Nice. Who looked great again.
26:47Quinch on and they looked like, remember, we were saying how much of a must win it was for Tampa Bay.
26:54Oh, they, and it was dominant. Their defense. We've been talking about it for a couple of weeks.
26:59It's their defense is really, really good. And it's been, um, kind of overshadowed by the losses where you're just not giving
27:07them enough credit because they're not winning games. And so you assume it's, you know, they can't be that good.
27:13Their defense has been shutting just about everybody down and they took it to Carolina.
27:18This was the first time in my entire life that I ever started, uh, Bryce Young in any situation.
27:24Oh, you did, huh? I did. And, um, no, I started him over Kyler and, and it didn't work.
27:30And Kyler was my option. So that's how bad Bryce Young was.
27:34But, uh, I, I really do give a lot of credit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense.
27:39I expect them to be one that we need to start, um, kind of nerfing our expectations of their opponents.
27:45Yeah. Yeah. And, and maybe they have a chance in that division.
27:49Maybe that's what we were talking about. Quinch on Judkins, 23 fantasy points, Junkins, Ramond Ray and McCaffrey rounding out the top five other names we're talking about.
27:58Patriots are another spot. I think Taylor could go to.
28:01Yeah. Well, that would be like. They have a lot of investment in the running back, but it's like, you don't like your guys.
28:09Go get someone who, go get someone who can help you when they like, they like Ramond Ray.
28:15Yeah. But yeah, I don't know how much. I don't, I don't know that.
28:19I mean, they would, I'm sure prefer to have someone like Jonathan Taylor to Ramond Ray, but they do like Ramond Ray.
28:26Um, it's worth talking about Cam Scadaboo. Um, Scadaboo went out there with 17 carries.
28:31Um, it's, it was still a, it was still a time share, but the clear and obvious, yes, you were benched for
28:38a fumble, um, from the week prior was unbenched.
28:41And I mean, he was really important for their team.
28:44Help them secure that. I would consider trading them right now.
28:48Yeah. Yeah. Because I think that's a high and maybe the hamstring is going to hurt your trade value, but you're going into a buy.
28:56Then you get to go to Philadelphia the week after a couple of tough weeks.
29:00I might consider saving, like get somebody passed their by working him into a deal trading on the high because they are
29:07going to continue to, uh, I mean, they're rumored too in the Taylor talk.
29:12Yeah, they are. So that might be a consideration.
29:15Jonathan Taylor was 18 for 95 and a touchdown against Minnesota, which is saying something.
29:20Emmanuel Wilson got one last shot at this as the sole guy 24 for 101 dunking on my face.
29:26Look, look what we could do. If we give all the guy all the work, what is Ashton Gentry?
29:32Uh, a receiving back man. Yeah, he is. He has not been good on the ground.
29:37I mean, two years. Yeah, he's been, but yet is a dominant fantasy player.
29:41He's a, he's better this year than last year.
29:44Wide receiver out of the backfield for sure. And, and he's a very good receiver.
29:49Yeah. He's got, you know, he had a, uh, you know, uh, sideline kind of toe tap.
29:54Yes. He had the over the shoulder touchdown catch on, you know, more.
29:58More of a bomb. He's a very good receiving back.
30:02His receiving pace. Do you want to know what it is?
30:05Oh, I would love to. 83 catches for 800 yards and seven touchdowns.
30:09That's good for a wide receiver, but his efficiency on the ground is wild.
30:14It seems very likely. We're about to get Mendoza.
30:17Hmm. You're feeling. Yeah. I think we're getting Mendoza straight losses.
30:20Yeah. I think we're getting Mendoza now or in a couple of games.
30:24I don't know how that'll affect it, but you've, you've seen it, you know, you don't get the passing game.
30:31Hopefully you get as much passing where I think they should wait until the bi-week.
30:35Yeah. You've got a stretch of hard games coming up here.
30:39You get the jets this week, but then it's the San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks, the Denver Broncos.
30:45Like sometimes teams might go, I want to win those games and it's might be my chance to try to win them with a different quarterback.
30:53Yeah. Yeah, maybe. But also you want to set your future franchise quarterback up for success and not have him start on
31:00his back for his first three weeks. Jacobs was 11 for 36 on the ground, but was five for touchdown through the air.
31:08It's he has the juice. They don't. Well, he has don't have it.
31:12He is much better than the other running backs on the team.
31:16It's the, the seven targets I thought was pretty surprising.
31:19Like the, the, the groundwork. This is what I figured would happen.
31:23It was like that offensive line is, is garbage.
31:25Jacobs is a better running back than the other guys.
31:29It was, I mean, especially on the, the touchdown run was like, if Marshawn Lloyd takes one of those two hits, he goes down.
31:36Right. So he is definitely a different player that a different caliber of, of player than those other guys.
31:42But are you going to get five for 55 every week?
31:46No, but you're also not going to get 11 for 36.
31:49The, the lions have a very, the lions have a very good rush defense.
31:54We, we expected that coming in. He looked so significantly better than the other backs on that team.
32:00And more importantly, right off the street, you know, he just went in and was like, okay, the other guys were, were still pulling work.
32:08He was a, he was a key call. They said they weren't going to overwhelm him with snaps.
32:13Right. He was a key call to this. Um, and, and genuinely, I think what we saw was very affirming to me
32:20of like, he's going to work for fantasy for this team.
32:24Cause it's a good offense. It's they're going to find ways to score around the goal line.
32:29It's going to be his, and he's so much better than the other backs on this team.
32:35And honestly, he should have been a big part of the reason they won the game.
32:40If the, you know, if the Packers could make chip shot field goals.
32:44Yeah. Smack missed two of them. Oh man. I mean, one had a hand on it, like a partial block, but still,
32:51those are the difference in the game. You got to get that ball up.
32:55Uh, RB 12, RB 11, RB 13, RB seven.
32:58Who am I talking about? Corum? RB 12. Nope.
33:01RB 11, RB 13, RB seven. Last four weeks.
33:04Last four starts. Is this Ollie Gordon? It's Ollie Gordon.
33:07Ah, yeah. Ollie Gordon, 25 for one Oh three.
33:10I mean, this is the player that I was, I thought this player would take over.
33:15You got this one. I was completely wrong on Ollie Gordon.
33:19I mean, Ollie has been awesome. And, and the fact is it hasn't been like, he's doing this without any receiving work.
33:26Basically. It's just on the ground. Touchdowns in four straight.
33:29It's just been impressive and big. It has broken.
33:32It's been super impressive because, uh, it hasn't been easy.
33:35He is doing it on his own and almost every single game.
33:39He has a long broken, you know, it's like a 20, 25 yard run, 22 yard run, 53 yard run.
33:45And they're all like, they're not the usual where, you know, Travion Henderson finally sees a hole and is just burst through and is 53 yards untouched.
33:54It's like, it's like he breaks six tackles along the way and then breaks through and runs.
33:59He's been so impressive that. So like for me, I'm playing for 20, 27, our league of record.
34:05I've got Devon a Chan as a future asset.
34:08And I, I'm starting to sweat just a little like, oh no, Ollie Gordon's playing so good that he's going to have
34:15to be involved more than what the expectation was coming in this year.
34:19Granted they paid a Chan a boatload. So we'll, we'll see, but he has just been, I mean the eye test, Ollie
34:26Gordon and keep in mind, this was a player in college who, when he came out was, he was coming off of a disappointing final collegiate season.
34:35The year prior, he was the best running back in college football, um, was, uh, you know, a dominant player.
34:41So it's like, this isn't out of nowhere. Yeah, no, I agree.
34:45Top five wideouts, JSN, T Higgins, Zay Flowers, Jameson Williams, and Luther Byrne.
34:49Oh, cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Um, I mean, you don't need to talk about JSN.
34:54He does it every week, no matter what against everybody.
34:57I think the one thing you can say is right now, I believe through seven weeks, he's got the highest, he's outscoring
35:04Cooper cup in Cooper cups, insane, like best season ever.
35:07He's just been unstoppable. Unstoppable. How, just how dumb was the first coaching staff that had JSN?
35:13Dumb. Pretty dumb. I mean, like, they should never work in football again.
35:17What was that OC? Uh, Kyle. Who was the OC?
35:20The JSN? Waldron. Yeah, Waldron. Shane Waldron. You should, like, to have this player on your team.
35:25Yeah, but have you seen how big Metcalf is?
35:28And to be forcing, yeah, like, we're going to get Metcalf the ball, and it's JSN's good for slip screens and bubble
35:35screens and just never work in the NFL again.
35:38Yeah, go to baseball. That's a miss. How many players have been like that, but the OC doesn't go anywhere and they never have a career?
35:46Right. There are players that certainly have been in that boat and not gotten the chance to break out, but here we are.
35:54Jamison Williams, he's back. 15, 8, or sorry, wide receiver 15, 13, and 5 in the last three weeks.
36:00It's great, but this is just, I mean, don't get used to it.
36:04This is the Jamison Williams experience. I said this on Sunday Live.
36:08Start him every single week. I start him every single week.
36:11If he has three bad weeks in a row, you start him.
36:15If he has three good weeks in a row, you start him.
36:19You're going to have bad weeks. You're going to have good weeks.
36:23He should be hopefully in your flex for where you drafted him, not as your wide receiver, too.
36:28I mean, he was pretty unstoppable in the second half of last year.
36:33And slow start, and now he's back. Two of the three weeks is eight or more targets.
36:38Yeah, I mean, he is going to be, like Jason said, everything he said is right.
36:43If you give Jamo eight targets a week, he will dominate.
36:47He's the best explosive flex you could have. Yeah.
36:50Luther Burden, 4 for 130, didn't score in the second half, but you love to see.
36:55We talked about that game. Also, Jamison had a third touchdown.
36:58Yeah. He got pushed out. Yeah, he got pushed out.
37:01I mean, really close. Amon Rahm managed to put up a bazillion fantasy points with no touchdowns.
37:07Nine for 153 on 11 targets. He's the wide receiver four.
37:10He's passed his bye, and he's doing what he always does, which is finish.
37:15He'll finish at three. He has to. We've talked about a lot of these players.
37:19Omar Cooper and the situation in New York is interesting because Garrett Wilson is furious, upset, angry.
37:25Yep. Screaming on the sideline. And yet Omar Cooper, the rookie, seemed to be everywhere in this game.
37:31Had multiple big-time plays. I mean, this is what you wanted after you signed him.
37:35Yeah. He looks great on the field. I was talking to Mike.
37:39Like, this is a player, reminds me a lot of Luther Burden, where if you get the ball in his hands, he is such a good athlete.
37:48So, you know, he's able to create on his own.
37:51The question was, kind of like Burden, does he have a full route tree?
37:56Is he completely ready to be an NFL wide receiver?
37:59However, that is the question. But what you've seen is that he can break tackles.
38:03He can run away from guys. It's very exciting.
38:06Seemingly come at the expense of Kenyon Sadiq, who has disappeared.
38:10Garrett disappeared the last couple weeks, too. People are wondering about trading Garrett Wilson and getting rid of him.
38:16I don't think they're going to do that. No, not the team.
38:20Fantasy players want to move on. I was with you.
38:23I knew what you were saying. I would not move on.
38:26I cannot fathom that Omar Cooper, especially after Garrett Wilson's steaming on the sideline.
38:31I think the problem is just that they do have, like, part of Garrett Wilson's special sauce in their disgusting seasons, which,
38:38to be clear, the Jets are on their way to one.
38:41Part of the special sauce was the complete target chair domination.
38:45You did not have the capacity to target anybody else.
38:48Right. I mean, your number one tight end on the week this week is Mason Taylor.
38:53Oh, dude. Dude. Rorison. Rorison Taylor. Oh, man. I mean, he was still a cat.
38:58It wasn't a broke attack, but it was a lion.
39:01Yeah. He was climbing up over the back. Mawson.
39:04He said, give me that. He was crazy. Give me that.
39:08Sadiq has had a huge week. Mason Taylor's had a huge week.
39:11Omar Cooper has had two huge weeks. Adonai Mitchell's had a huge week.
39:16The point being, if they don't, they play slow, okay?
39:19They play slow. They also, they're going to get Brees Hall back.
39:23They have Braylon Allen. Their recipe for success is to play slow.
39:26Now you can distribute the ball all over the place.
39:30I personally am of the, you know, squeaky wheel.
39:32Does he come back and get a zillion targets?
39:35Maybe. Oof. Squeaky wheel has been getting benched this year.
39:39I mean, I. I'm running back. Yes. I don't think Garrett Wilson will finish at the tier you want him to finish at.
39:46I think it will be fine, but he will not be the player that I think you will want him to be.
39:53That is my opinion. Okay. It's. Oh, Mawson Taylor?
39:56That's pretty good. That's nice. But much like Nico, I agree with what you're saying.
40:01He was the only show in town, so he would just, it was nonstop double digit targets.
40:06But three targets in a loss to Miami to, and you throw your number one paid to be the number one.
40:13Like that's a, you got to go back in the film and go, where did everything go wrong?
40:18And we need to correct this. Only at six the week before.
40:22Yeah. Um, and, and I'm sure you will go fix it.
40:26It's just, you got, you got three road games coming up.
40:29Yeah. We'll see. Uh, Trey McBride, Mason, Mason Taylor was number one, Trey McBride, Colson Loveland, Davis Allen, you know, everybody except
40:36for Tyler Higby got involved in this game. It wasn't just Allen either.
40:40Right. I mean, you had a Parkinson touchdown too.
40:43Yeah. The tight end, uh, for the Rams, it worked.
40:46It was horrible. Wasn't there another one? Uh, Parkinson did not score.
40:50Who was the other tight end touchdown or was there two for Davis Allen?
40:55I thought Davis Allen had two. Oh, okay. That must've been his only targets.
40:59Eli Raradon on the list as well. Tucker Kraft, your start of the week.
41:04Got into the end zone. Although I, I've not been thrilled with the target totals for Kraft yet.
41:09No, but it was nice to see the touchdown, but then he basically didn't get the ball the rest of the way.
41:16Correct. I, I was not here in the studio.
41:19I was busy with my weak bones at home.
41:22Yeah. And, um, I thought we had 12 for 12.
41:25Yeah. The price. We did great. We did great.
41:28We went 10 for 12, I guess. Because Tucker crowd didn't get another target or something.
41:33I was, well, he had three. I needed five receptions from him.
41:37Yeah. Got three in the first half. We were cruising.
41:40Got one more, I think in the third. And then nothing.
41:44Then nothing. Well, that game slowed down real bad too.
41:47It was like, I expected a higher scoring game than what we got in that one.
41:52And then there was just like the missed field goals, the punts, the turnovers, the goal line turnover by Gibbs, um, fumbles.
41:59Yeah. It was a mess. And I needed 30 second half rushing yards from J.K.
42:04Dobbins, which when I made that, I did not realize Coleman was going to be active.
42:09But also, I'm like, I was driving home towards the end and I thought I hit it because I see this huge breakaway run from J.K.
42:17Dobbins. And, you know, I was just watching Red Zone at that moment.
42:22And then later I look and it's like, wait, where did all those yards go?
42:26Was it a highlight? It was called back. I didn't realize that.
42:30So you two have to, what, face off tonight?
42:33Oh, yeah, we do. Ooh, okay. That'll be fun to not be involved in that.
42:38We'll take a break and get into the duds.
42:41Pooped in his big boy pants. Al, did you want to throw the refs in here or is that the, you don't like the refs in that game?
42:50Dude, it was so bad. Do you remember when they blocked both those kicks by smack?
42:55I figured. The refs jumped up and like put the hand up.
42:59I figured when I talked about the kicker costing them the game and didn't mention the refs, Jeremy would be fuming over there.
43:06I knew it too. Well, here's one thing I noticed from that game to take the refs out of it, which there were some questionable calls.
43:14One in particular I thought was really revolting. A small push down of golf that was like a nothing burger.
43:21But you missed two kicks. And this was an example.
43:24Like we get frustrated as fantasy players because we're just like, what's the phrase that you associated with Jordan Love?
43:30It was a, get a load of this. Yeah.
43:33Check this out. So part of why they lost this game for sure was because of that.
43:38It was when the play started breaking down or a couple seconds into the play, so many deep shots by Jordan Love and the defense played them well.
43:47They were double covered Matthew Golden down the field.
43:50Too many checkouts to Golden. Not enough to Watson.
43:53I mean, there were a lot of check this out plays where I felt like, man, why not sustain a drive?
44:00Why not throw like a, you know, tuck a craft.
44:03No targets almost in the second half. Throw, get some first downs.
44:07Like it wasn't working to go deep on every play.
44:10So part of me was frustrated with that because I just wanted to see these teams go back and forth.
44:16And it seemed like they were like, okay, we're going to run ball with Jacobs and then throw deep twice and then punt it.
44:24I think the final three plays where all they had to do was either, you know, score or make a field goal
44:31was, if I'm remembering it right, they dialed up three plays to Jacobs and they gained a total of five yards.
44:38Yeah. That's what I'm saying. We're not watching it on, you know, from the sideline.
44:42Just want to throw it to Tucker craft. Yeah.
44:45Yeah. And well, and they threw it to save you on a bunch.
44:49You know, it's saving on was getting targets, but all right.
44:53Duds, Brock Purdy finally got an L 27 for 42 picks, kind of gross ones.
44:58Um, my homes was terrible. Baker, they, they barely used the quarterback position in this game.
45:03The amount of rushing. Whoa. What? Did you know he had 11 pass attempts?
45:07I didn't realize that Baker Mayfield had 64 total yards.
45:11If you watch the game, they won 43, 13 Bucky or well, their defense scored a bunch.
45:16Bucky Irving had like 25 carries and didn't play for the second half.
45:20Huh? You know, Gainwell and Tucker had a breakaway run.
45:23Gainwell got carries. I don't, what's the total rushing attempts for the team?
45:27I'll try and find that. Can you, can you check that out?
45:31Because I think it was in the fifties. 50.
45:34I'm 50. All right. I got, I got Bucky down for 24, Gainwell at 14 and Tucker at seven is what I'm seeing.
45:41So 24, 21, 45 attempts. If they didn't give it to somebody else.
45:46I mean, like I said, they didn't need to do anything.
45:49It was working on every play to run the football.
45:52Bryce Young, you were bad. Yes. Real bad. Running back duds, the big boys, Derrick Henry, Ken Walker.
45:58Don't worry about those. They'll be fine. Agreed. Although Walker's finally playing top half rush defenses, which will be something to pay attention to.
46:06Denver next week. Yeah. I was, I was just so shocked with how well Seattle shut down.
46:11Not, not just Walker. I mean, shutting down Walker was the key to shutting down the chiefs, but I mean, they just
46:18made that game so boring because they, the chiefs could not do anything.
46:22And I, I'm, I'm just surprised with what we've seen out of Walker that he couldn't get anything going.
46:28And I mean, Derek Henry desperately needs Lamar back.
46:31Yeah. Yeah. Those guys will be okay. This guy, do you want the panic alarm?
46:36Chase Brown. Yeah, I do. I mean, 11 for 39 on the ground.
46:40He has not. Red zone opportunities to Samaj AP, right?
46:43Samaj AP, Ryan had the one goal line carry, but the, we had, so we, the last time we saw the bangles,
46:50Chase Brown had seeded tons of work and opportunities to Samaj AP, Ryan, who was good.
46:55And then they went on their bye week and it was, oh, what are we going to see?
47:01Snap 75%. Yeah. Like everything went back to Chase Brown.
47:04Their offense was completely broken for a half. And then the second half was just the T Higgins show.
47:10So I'm not in a, I'm, I'm not excited.
47:13Don't get me wrong. This is not a, I'm a, I'm full caping shielding Chase Brown from how bad it's been.
47:20But I'm saying P Ryan is not the problem.
47:23It didn't take over. It is very helpful. Cause we, we talked about this last 20 routes for Brown six for P Ryan.
47:30Like this is, you don't need to worry about.
47:33Five targets to zero, 11 rushing attempts to four and 75% of snaps to 22% of snaps.
47:39The two weeks ago, the last time we saw them, it was almost 50, 50 across the board.
47:44So that part is really good. Makes you feel better about Chase Brown.
47:48Yeah. Um, the, the reason I said pull the alarm is just because gall darn it.
47:54We haven't seen him look remotely special. Yeah. There, there's so many plays where, you know, it's like, it's gall darn it.
48:01Yeah. Because I'm really frustrated. I'm watching. That's not what he wants to say.
48:05Where, where is the chase Brown of the last couple of years?
48:09And I'm starting to get scared from a dynasty value standpoint, because if he doesn't get it together in the next few
48:16weeks and show he's the guy, he's not going to be who they put a ton of money into and, and, and,
48:23and, and, you know, invest and say, this is our running back of the future.
48:28And he needs that. He, he is, he's situational.
48:31Mike said it during, uh, watching games yesterday. Chase Brown goes as the bangles go.
48:35Yes, he does. He, he is. If the bangles are great, chase Brown will be great.
48:40And the bangles haven't really offensively been great. Um, but we, so the snap wise, I'm, I'm less concerned, but I just, I hope that.
48:48We find out he was dealing with some injury and he's getting over it because he is not looked special.
48:55Yeah. I don't like P Ryan getting the goal line work when, like you said, the other stuff is not coming together yet.
49:02Dobbins. Chase Brown has one touchdown on the year.
49:05Yeah. Like he's a running back 25, I think.
49:08Yeah. Currently. And, you know, drafted much higher, but terrible game for Chuba.
49:12I think you can throw that one away. Cause that game was like over before it started.
49:17JK Dobbins. You can't throw away because you have the return of Jonah Coleman.
49:22Coleman's going to take over. He looked so. He's good.
49:25He's much better. He's their best back. And he can actually like where Dobbins, they don't feel comfortable throwing him the ball.
49:32Harvey. You don't feel comfortable with him running the ball.
49:35It was like Coleman can do everything. All right.
49:38We need to jump into running wide receivers here.
49:41Nico Collins, two for six. Garrett Wilson, two for 26.
49:44Justin Jefferson, four for 44. Who are you more concerned about with?
49:48More concerned for. I'm not concerned about Nico. I would say.
49:52I'm saying Garrett or Justin Jefferson. Oh. Garrett. Oh, man.
49:55It's really tough. Can we get Carson Wentz back?
49:58No. I don't think you will. Cause you're winning.
50:00Yeah, but you were winning with Carson Wentz. You think they're going to put Carson Wentz in the game?
50:06No, but I think there would be a better offense if they did.
50:11I mean, Carson Wentz was also horrible at times.
50:14Yeah, I don't mean. I think he's better for Jefferson.
50:17He's a Winston-esque option. He goes out there and is better for Jefferson the way that Winston would be, but your team loses.
50:24Because he just breaks. At Detroit next week, I think that's going to be a very telling moment for Minnesota if they
50:31have to make some moves or not. Yeah. AJ Brown, we talked about that one already.
50:36And then you had like some disappointing duos. Tett McMillan and Jalen Coker.
50:40The Panthers game, you just need to throw it out.
50:43I mean, I think the Bucs came to Carolina, beat the Tarnation out of them for a quarter, and then the game was just lost, mentally lost.
50:52DK Metcalf and Jeremy. Yeah. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.
50:55Tight ends Laporta, Likely, Juwan Johnson, Higby, and Kelsey all struggled.
50:59So, yeah, likely was. Laporta was another one of the squeaky wheels.
51:03Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what I'm saying. If you chirped up this year to the media about getting the ball, it has been the opposite.
51:11If you didn't see the – because Kyron Williams of the Rams, he got upset last week when he was being asked about like what went wrong.
51:20And he's like, don't ask me. I wasn't getting the ball.
51:23Well, the Rams rewarded that with like the entire first drive went to Corum.
51:28Yeah, they basically benched him for the first drive.
51:30That being said, then they gave him the – I know.
51:34But I'm just saying of this is – Of these guys, the Laplorida likely – Laplorida.
51:39Laplorida. Laplorida. Likely, Juwan Johnson. Lives in Florida. Tyler Higby.
51:42That's what I was hearing. Were you? Yeah. I'm going to move to Florida.
51:47Florida. Where the old people live. Juwan Johnson has – It's me, Adam Thielen.
51:51Has put up a – I live in Florida.
51:54A stretch of bad games now where it's become – I mean, that's three weeks in a row where he went from
52:01the first month of the season being one of the most reliable tight ends out there to – I mean, he had
52:08– here's his last – just don't look at this.
52:11This is his last three games yardage. 16 yards, zero yards, seven yards.
52:15Absolute, you know, kick you in the sack type of numbers.
52:19And now he goes to bye. So the question is, should you just move on?
52:24Should you just cut him, not have to hold on to him?
52:27Yeah, I think so. I would not worry – I'm curious if it's like the – has to do with the offensive line of – Yes.
52:36Maybe they're bringing him in. How bad it is of like they just – they can't do the stuff that they want to do what you want.
52:44The best, worst team in football. Right. Like I feel like I give the Saints on some levels more credit than I
52:51do the Vikings on the – because their offense is something I enjoy watching.
52:56Yeah. With no running game, no protection. No. Tyler Shuck played – I thought he played well.
53:01I thought he played as well as he could given his circumstances.
53:05Yeah, I mean it was like – But now bye week and then the impending return – Well, probable return of Jordan Tyson.
53:12They only scored one – they said one touchdown in the game and it was a drive where they tried to throw
53:19that touchdown away three times, scored on fourth down, and then never got another touchdown.
53:24It was just – the offensive line is a major problem for sustained drives.
53:29You can make a play where we're like, man, that's a great check play.
53:33Fix it. But – all right. We got waivers tomorrow, guys.
53:37I'll be in a great mood. And then Thursday night preview, mailbag, second half sleepers on Wednesday, starts of the week on Thursday.
53:44And you guys, you got to score to settle with this whole prize picks shame week.
53:49Just one catch. Just – Let me put it this way.
53:53If Jason loses again, I know what he's going to look like on Friday.
53:57Okay. Let's put it that way. All right. That'll do it for today's episode.
54:02Thank you for tuning in and indulging us. Good luck on Monday Night Football.
54:06We'll see if we can talk Al down after he's so mad at the referee.
