0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
0:05Welcome in! Wednesday, October 7th. Welcome into the show, the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.
0:10Mike, the Fantasy Hitman, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Got a great show for you today.
0:15Okay, waivers going through this morning. Desperate people in our chopped league trying to survive.
0:20Which is, I mean, that's the fun of guillotine chopped leagues is watching people squirm.
0:24I mean, Mike doesn't have to watch them anymore.
0:27They suck. What a terrible league format. Moving on.
0:30Yeah, yeah. No need to talk. Somebody's recently departed.
0:33Are you still around, Papa Josh? I am indeed.
0:36You are? You're not cut? Oh, I thought you meant it at work.
0:41Okay. I'm like, I'm here. We know you are here.
0:44And we are recording. Okay. That's step two. How about the chopped league?
0:48Are you still in it? No, I'm not in that at all.
0:52What about you, Matt? Are you still in it?
0:55Yep. Okay. Good. Nice to see you still have not adjusted your volume for public consumption.
1:01We have... Hey, it's me, Matt. Hey. Blah. Blah.
1:03Blah. What do we got at the top here?
1:06We've got our top five people in the Megalobowl.
1:09We're four weeks into the year. Oh. Pretty strange flowers up at 670 points in the Megalobowl.
1:15Steven, and then it looks like Delta, DJ, and...
1:18I can't pronounce that. Ruff. Rux. Oh, that looks like Rau FF.
1:22Well, there's an X in there, Mike. Yeah. But the X, when the X is silent?
1:27Silent X? I don't know. Yeah. Jason was nodding with me.
1:31I think you might be right there. Yeah. Rau.
1:34Rau. Is there a lot of... There's a lot of silent Xs out there?
1:39There's a few. Yeah. Instagram.com slash... Ever heard of the word xylophone?
1:42I have. I have heard of that word. It starts with a Z.
1:47Instagram.com slash fantasyfootballers on X at the FF Ballers of Communities.
1:50Join the foot.com. We do have... We got a little fun segment here at the top.
1:56Make it snappy. Oh. Oh, that finish. It felt scary.
1:59Here we go. We're looking at players... I manipulate your emotions.
2:03You do. You do. We are looking at players with rising snaps and opportunities, going through a number of positions, just taking
2:10a look at a few guys, starting with Kyron Williams.
2:13Mm-hmm. Uh, Kyron Williams. The breakdown... In week one, it was a lot of Kyron.
2:1839 snaps to 14. In week two, it was really close.
2:2234 to 28. That was against the Giants. And then in week three, 61-25.
2:26Last week, to survive on the comeback trail, you saw where the team put their priorities.
2:3270 snaps for Kyron, 13 for Blake Corum. Jason said something yesterday I thought was dead on, which is you're going to
2:39see a lot more Blake Corum in games where...
2:42where we thought the team would be, which was ahead, and trying to protect leads, and they'd split some of that work.
2:49But when this team needs a play, a drive, a two-minute drill, a comeback, their main man not only is out there on the field, but performed...
2:58Like, he won the game for them. I mean, Kyron consistently made plays last week, and you saw the snap counts diminish for Blake Corum.
3:06You know, is he still one of the top priority insurance backs?
3:10Of course. Of course he is. Yeah, but like, what level?
3:14Are you trying to get him? If you have Kyron, or are you just riding, uh, riding dirty?
3:20I mean, I'm... I'm trying to get him. Because, uh, he represents...
3:24Like, if he's alone, it's a massive... It's a massive fantasy output.
3:28Yeah, I mean, I would say that usually, um, most of the time when you have an insurance back, if your starter
3:35goes down, oh, okay, good, I've got someone I can play, but they don't get better.
3:41You don't... Your team doesn't get better when that happens.
3:44The team gets worse. So it's like, oh, I go from my starter down to my second-tier player.
3:50This is one of the rare situations where, I think if Kyron were to go down to injury, Blake Corum, by himself,
3:57without Kyron, would be even better than Kyron is right now.
4:01So I would definitely, if I'm the manager of Kyron Williams, I would be going pretty aggressively to try to secure Corum.
4:08Uh, R.J. Harvey. Let's talk about the 10-target man.
4:11Hmm. Is this something you're gonna have to just accept as a reality here, Mike?
4:16J.K. Dobbins is not... I mean, frankly, he just hasn't looked that good.
4:20No, he has not looked very good. He's out-snapped Harvey two times.
4:24One time when Harvey was out, and then in week three on the return, 33-24 this past week.
4:30R.J. Harvey, 29. J.K. Dobbins, 21. Tyler Paday, 12.
4:33Yeah, the snaps have not shaken out the way I thought they would.
4:37Now, the Broncos' schedule probably does factor into that.
4:40But also the way that this offense is running, where it's just real, real small, real short A-dot.
4:46I mean, it's pretty... It's a pretty disgusting offense to watch.
4:50It is not aesthetically pleasing. And R.J. Harvey is currently the benefactor.
4:54Who do you blame for that? Why are the...
4:57Why do we have no predictability when it comes...
5:00And this is going back a year. I mean, we had a Thursday night game against the hapless Raiders in which the Broncos looked terrible.
5:08So who do we blame? Do we blame Bo Nix?
5:11Do we blame... I don't... Sean Payton. Sean Payton took the blame off himself, gave it to Davis Webb.
5:18I mean, I don't even know. Like, I don't...
5:21Is this... Is it Bo Nix? Are the plays being set out in front of him for him to accept and take care of?
5:29Or is this just how Sean Payton wants it to run?
5:32I really don't feel like I have a good gauge on it.
5:36But it just is what it is. I mean, I think the first and second half of the Rams games were maybe as, like, indicative of what the...
5:45Oh, man. Oh. I don't know what to do here, man.
5:49This has been... Expose it. Expose it. It's just been too funny.
5:53We frequently on the show... On the show, we...
5:56So listen, go to my camera, okay? So you see the corner of Mike's laptop.
6:01Oh, everything's good, man. You see the corner of Mike's laptop and my camera.
6:06Now go to Mike's camera. You see the corner of my laptop, right?
6:10So we've got these little things on here. Go ahead and go to Mike's camera.
6:15It's a screen protector. I know that this is not good for the audience at home.
6:20So it blocks what's on the screen. So we have these every single day.
6:25Yeah. And we get in here and, I mean, yes...
6:28Well, hold on. We have them every single day.
6:31We use them every single day. Right. Every day of our life.
6:35But every day they're just, like, on the table, you know, like pre-production happened.
6:40We're ready. It's sitting out here and we grab them.
6:43It's like, oh, hey, the reminder. And then we were going and I didn't have mine.
6:48And they were like, oh, guys, you need your thing.
6:52And I'm like, I don't... Yeah. You know, I don't know where I found mine before the show, Mike.
6:58Well, under your butt. Under my butt. Yeah. I was told to look under my butt.
7:03It wasn't there. But then... But it was behind your back.
7:07It was behind your back. Yeah. So I'm trying to talk and Mike is sneaking...
7:12Yeah, YouTube.com slash SteveFantasyFootballers. Mike is sneaking out his screen protector from behind his back.
7:17Every day this week there's been something weird that happens.
7:20And I don't want to blame Josh, but it is...
7:23He's the exact... Now this, you know, Jeremy's on a cruise ship.
7:27Josh wasn't the chewer. Yesterday we had the loudest chewing on camera, which was Kyle.
7:32And Kyle's now... He said he heard from many friends about his guilt yesterday as we put the social media...
7:39Let's see. You want to know it? You want to know the difference?
7:43What? Kyle, stand up man, he was like... Oh, took responsibility.
7:47Like, we looked immediately at Josh because that's the most likely culprit.
7:51And then Kyle's like, no, guys, it was me.
7:54It was me. Yeah. I don't hear anything about the screen protectors right now.
7:58I mean, is your butt to blame at all?
8:01No, my back. Okay. Also, the complete blending into the chair.
8:05Yeah, I think the final thought I was getting to there was the first and second half...
8:11I don't know, man. First and second half of the Rams game where the Broncos looked hapless and stupid on offense and
8:18then the second half they kind of put it together.
8:21That's basically the 50-50 coin flip I feel like I'm playing with.
8:25I feel like I'm doing that with Waddle. I feel like I'm doing that with any running back.
8:31I feel like Bo Nix... Spoiler alert, he's going to be a start of the week this week.
8:37Do I feel good about it? Oh, man. 50-50.
8:40I feel like I think I feel good about it.
8:43Yeah. There's another... We're talking about a guy who's a start of the week for me.
8:49Are we? Hmm. Who? Harvey. Oh, Harvey's your start of the week?
8:53Oh, that feels like such a... Brother, you got to accept what's going on.
8:57Oh, that's better than... Yeah. I'm not putting my head in the sand and just being like my preseason.
9:04I love Dobbins. I thought... Because Dobbins has always been a good running back on the ground.
9:09He just doesn't look like it right now. Yeah, he has not been very good.
9:14He was 17 carries for 49 yards two weeks ago.
9:17You know what I bet he's doing right now?
9:20Fighting through injury. Yeah. That's not working. I have to.
9:24Generally speaking, when he gets this level of injury, he just shuts it down.
9:28He's like, if I don't go out there... Remember what I said?
9:32I said I'd be healthy. Um, no, I'm... And the truth is, is with Harvey, if you pick him up, trade for him, whatever, you do get that.
9:42I mean, Dobbins could get knocked out and then Harvey's getting more work.
9:46Well, Coleman is in the shadows like a boogeyman.
9:49On the way back. Just waiting. And he can catch the ball too.
9:53But right now, Harvey, the snap counts, which is what we're looking at, they're going up.
9:58And then take a look at this. The number one wide receiver in snap counts for the Packers, clear as day through four weeks.
10:06It's not Christian Watson. Not clear as... Last week was.
10:10The other difference is like... So three or four weeks...
10:13Like a snap. I wouldn't call that a clear as day.
10:17Yeah. Week four is 53 to 41. Yes. That one's clear as day.
10:21Yes. That one was. But he's at or surpassing the level of Watson in every other week.
10:26It's just... And we've seen it. Like he actually looks good.
10:30Yes. He's the league leader in penalties drawn. 97 pass interference yards.
10:34That was more than double second place in terms of...
10:37Like that's just not even on your fantasy stat sheet.
10:41That is Matthew Golden. Did we say Matthew? I might not have said his name.
10:46His name is Matthew Golden. Yeah. But Matthew Golden has looked great.
10:50Like if you bought low in dynasty, if you...
10:53Yeah. Congratulations. I mean like this is a key point or a key player for the Packers moving forward.
10:59He had the goal line play after Tucker Craft dropped the ball.
11:03He scored last week on like kind of a fade route.
11:07Brought it in. You know, Christian Watson has that inherent fear of injury.
11:11Maybe we're getting past that with the workouts and stuff.
11:14And he's been out there. But yeah, the snap counts are awesome.
11:18The production is awesome. I think the trade window for Golden might have closed at this point.
11:24Yeah. I don't... At least the like trying to get like where if a manager doesn't fully believe or buy into what's happening.
11:31I guess the question is what do you think he is?
11:35Because I think you got... What tier? Like, yeah, exactly.
11:38Is he the absolute full time starting wide receiver for the Packers?
11:42Yes. Is he getting opportunity? Absolutely. Do you like the Packers offense?
11:46Maybe. But what is his talent level? You know, he's drawn the most pass interference yards.
11:51Some of that is really, really good. Sometimes the fact that you're getting pass interference yards, you know, you're not separating enough.
11:59You're, you know, if you come down with that ball, you know, the pass interference is declined.
12:04Right. He's still catching less than half of his passes.
12:08You know, last week, double digit fantasy points because he caught a touchdown, but he also had 21 receiving yards.
12:14So I would not put him in my mind to...
12:18Like, I definitely think he is a worthwhile weekly start.
12:21I just don't think he's really broken out. And so do you guys think he's going to break out at the end of this year?
12:29Do you think he's a top 15 wide receiver?
12:32Because I don't. I already think... I think the breakout has definitely happened because the target totals, the production level, multiple touchdowns
12:39when he didn't score at all last year. He's 13th in fantasy right now in points per game.
12:45Let me take a look and see where he's at there.
12:49He's 18th in points per game. I mean, I think that's about where he's going to finish.
12:55Probably 18 to 22. Yeah. But like, would you rather have...
12:58Let me give you some other names. Like, would you rather have Matthew Golden or Debo?
13:04I think we'd all say Golden. Yes. Yeah. Would you rather have T Higgins than Matthew Golden?
13:09I'd rather have T Higgins. Would you rather have Devonta Adams?
13:13I would. Yeah. Would you rather have Garrett Wilson?
13:16Yes. Would you rather have Michael Wilson or Matthew Golden?
13:19Michael Wilson. I think, yeah. I'll go Michael. So through...
13:22You know, they're pretty close. 12.3 for Golden, 11.1 for Michael Wilson so far.
13:27Parker Washington's down at 10.8. Parker? Parker? No, I'm just laughing of the like...
13:32Just fancy football's funny. Would you rather have Burden or Golden?
13:35I think I'd take Golden. I'll take Golden in that situation.
13:39Yeah. Like, Emeka Abuka. Give me Matthew Golden. For sure.
13:42Agreed. Lad McConkie. Give me Matthew Golden. Like, all the metrics for Golden are at or surpassing Christian Watson except for touchdowns?
13:49Yes. And I think that's what's going to happen.
13:52Like, at this... The way that things look through four weeks, it's not crazy to think Matthew Golden will have more receptions or more yards.
14:01I think Watson's still the better fantasy guy because he's a much higher threat for the touchdowns.
14:06I got one more for you. So I want that.
14:10So, but the like, the yards will be close, but the touchdowns won't be, I don't think.
14:15Yeah. This is a consolidated offense. You basically have Golden, Watson, and Kraft.
14:20It's pretty great. Would you rather have DK Metcalf and all those targets or Matthew Golden?
14:25Oh. Matthew Golden. Yeah. I was waiting for you.
14:28That's an easy Matthew Golden for me. DK's getting so many targets, man.
14:32But then you have to play DK. Yeah, you do.
14:35If you have him on your team, that's one of the requirements.
14:39And by proxy, you have to be a supporter of Aaron Rodgers.
14:43This one I think has been happening in the shadows because the quarterback situation has literally rotated.
14:49Rome Odunze since week two is the clear snap leader for the Bears wide receivers.
14:54That is true. In week two, he had 62 snaps to 42 or 46 for the next highest.
15:0061 to 54 for the next highest in week three.
15:03This past week, it was monumental. 83 snaps. Next highest was 52.
15:07Luther Burden, 47. Cleef Raymond. Running more routes than Burden and Loveland.
15:11Is a Dunze a buy low? Is a Dunze somebody you believe in?
15:15Yeah. I mean, I think he's a buy low.
15:18He is clearly their primary X receiver. If there's like one wide receiver on the field, it's going to be Rome.
15:25That's great to have the opportunity there. I think he's a talented player.
15:30We don't know what the Bears are though. I mean, literally three different quarterbacks in four weeks.
15:35One of the games was a rained out game.
15:38So it's weird to be a month in and be like, I have no idea.
15:43He's getting the routes though. But yes, the opportunity is there.
15:47The snaps, the routes, and I still stand by the talent.
15:50It feels like with no touchdowns and no Caleb, this would be the chance to get him before production could really spike potentially.
15:58If you're getting almost every snap, you haven't scored.
16:01I've lost a lot. No. Because I still think people are like, well, if you were Luther Burden preseason, you're probably still
16:08Luther Burden now because you're going, we don't know.
16:11Yeah. So I still stand by my preseason takes, which is why I, I stand by my preseason take of saying Rome is the guy.
16:20Would you trade Metcalf for Rome? I would rather have Rome than Metcalf.
16:24Oh man. What about Rome versus Golden? I love Golden.
16:27I think Golden's awesome. Every, every snap I've watched him play football this year.
16:32I've been impressed. Every route, every catch. The reason you don't see the catch percentage as high is because this dude is,
16:39I mean, there's a reason he has double the pass interference yards.
16:43Deep shots. Deep shots. Yeah. I mean, you're, you're getting low probability plays and then four of those have been pass interferences.
16:50Um, you know, Pickens is near the top of that list.
16:54CD Lambs near the top of that list on deep shots.
16:58That's where you're going to get it. Rome or a golden.
17:01I'd go golden. Yeah. I think that's, that's tough.
17:04That, uh, I lean, I guess I lean Rome slightly, but that's not a very confident take.
17:10All right. Let's jump into the news. News and notes from around the league.
17:14You guys remember the part of the show yesterday where we talked about Joe Mixon because he was, he had agreed to terms with the, uh, the Seahawks.
17:24Allegedly. Yeah. Allegedly agree. But then he apparently took a physical and, uh, the Seahawks were not happy with the results and chose not to sign it.
17:33That footsie is problematic. So, I mean, obviously. Oh yeah.
17:36This means he's not going to sign anywhere ever.
17:39Right? No, I don't think necessarily. I guess I just feel like he would have to pass their physical.
17:45Yeah, he would, but it might be weeks away.
17:48I'm just saying like, it could be two, three weeks away.
17:52He could go someplace else. It might be next year.
17:55Yeah. It could be next year. The, the, if this is so strange, you, last year was totally shrouded in mystery.
18:02If you weren't around for fancy football last year, Joe Mixon up until the very beginning of the season was the running back for the Houston Texans.
18:11And then he just off a great year. And then he just wasn't, then he was gone.
18:17He disappeared. The team never really talked about it.
18:20They're just like, yeah, he's hurt. And then you just like, when's he going to be back?
18:25Ah, well, whatever. We'll figure it out. You're like, it just seems pretty important.
18:30Why can't you just tell us what's going on with Joe Mixon?
18:34And then, then the year was over and you assumed that Joe Mixon's career was done.
18:39And then you have this whole shenanigans and charades.
18:42Yeah. It just feels like if he missed the entire year last year with this foot injury.
18:48And then after a year and a half off, he still has a, you know, can't pass a physical.
18:54It's not, I don't think it's a week or two away.
18:58And he's 30 years old. Like if I'm another team, do I even bring them in for a workout?
19:04It just depends on the details of the physical.
19:07And he's going to be more expensive to add to your practice squad than I think they added a Ravens depth piece instead.
19:14Jaden Daniels on track to start for the commanders in week five against the Giants.
19:19So the return of Jaden Daniels. We like it.
19:22And the cybernetic arm. You put this man in a suit of armor.
19:27Yesterday, big news, big, big news. Right tackle Lane Johnson announced his retirement from the Philadelphia Eagles.
19:32If you read his comments in the team's comments, it seems like he was trying to gut out one more year and
19:40was going to retire after this year anyways. Yeah, he was trying.
19:44But he said he's going to focus on his mental health.
19:47He's gone through a lot in the last handful of years.
19:51The Eagles in totality, you look at the big picture.
19:54It's a it's a dramatic loss for their offensive line.
19:57You look at the numbers of that Lane Johnson in recent years hasn't been good.
20:02The Eagles are tied for the second lowest team total of any team in week five.
20:08I'm looking at like, you know, we're four weeks in.
20:11We said this is when we start to like the stream finder tool, the strength of schedule tool, things like that start
20:18to really cement themselves in terms of defenses you're targeting situation.
20:22You're targeting. I think it's fair to say the way that the personnel is in Philadelphia right now.
20:28I don't know how they have an explosive week.
20:31I think you start targeting defenses facing the Philadelphia Eagles.
20:34Yeah, which is something I don't right. We could have ever said, but they I mean this team is so totally different.
20:41I mean no. First of all Lane Johnson makes a humongous difference.
20:45We've seen it over the last couple years. Every time he's off field versus on the field.
20:51It's a massive change in their offense. No Saquon.
20:54No, uh, AJ Brown. No Devante Smith. It's like that.
20:57They're no Dallas Goddard. Yeah. Darius Cooper got signed in leagues today.
21:01So yeah, they are seven point neutral site underdogs in London against Jacksonville.
21:06And I don't I just don't see how they win that game.
21:10Maybe maybe they do. They were on the cusp of beating the Rams last week defense.
21:15I mean, they've yeah, it is. But you're talking it's a low scoring game for sure.
21:20I mean, you said they're the second lowest implied team total for context that is tied with the other second lowest the Dolphins.
21:28Like that's the level of offense that they're expecting right now from me behind the Cleveland Browns.
21:33Yeah, Todd Monken Sean Watson. Of course. Yeah, that's wow.
21:37Oh, man. Philly is down bad defense playing well.
21:40Patriots brought in free agent Jamal Williams for a workout.
21:43Oh, Ramondre and Jamal. Yeah. Ramondre limped off the field at the end of the game.
21:48Could they get any more plotting? I know that's what it feels like.
21:53Oh, you could sign Joy Bell. Yeah. Wow. He doesn't keep playing, but he could at this pace.
21:58No, he'd be even slower. So the team has brought in Jamal Williams.
22:03I know Jamal Williams was literally calling Dan Campbell and pining.
22:06You think a team needs somebody? The Lions don't have anybody behind Jameer Gibbs and the Lions even said, nah, dog.
22:13We're good. We're good. But this was we saw a clip of Ramondre at the very end of the game kind of hobbling.
22:21The game was over two plays later. So the fact that we have an action coming in with the visual, it becomes it's only Wednesday.
22:29So we'll start to get more information throughout the week.
22:33But what if Jamal gets snaps over Travion, Jason?
22:35Will you be able to handle that? Oh, no, no.
22:39I will absolutely not be able to handle that.
22:42No, no. All right. We'll take a break. We're going to talk Thursday night.
22:46Thursday night breakdown. Oh, okay. The Owen for Tampa Bay Buccaneers take on the two and two Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night football.
22:54Dallas eight and a half point favorites over under is forty seven and a half.
22:59Good golly, Miss Molly. This is a this is a this was one that I just it's a hard one to see
23:06going a different direction than Dallas handling their business.
23:09Right. Yeah, it just comes down to Jalon Daniels.
23:12Daniels. And the ability to pass the ball down the field, I just look, Dallas is not a good defense.
23:19But. Twenty three percent of Daniels attempts were off target last week and the other only Jamis was higher.
23:25I feel like the other seventy six percent or whatever went straight to Chris Godwin in the flat.
23:31I mean, it was it was just kind of an abysmal looking offense.
23:35I have a confession. You do? No, I have a confession.
23:39I I accidentally picked up Jalen Daniels on waivers instead of Jake.
23:43Oh, you got JD. He's in a red jersey.
23:46It's Jay Daniels quarterback with a red jersey. Is this the shot?
23:50No, this was gosh. This was actually last week.
23:53But wait. Yeah. Wait. So you thought Robinson. You thought you were.
23:57I got the Rob. You thought you were signing.
24:00I was like, oh, son of a gun. Oh, this is such a good confession.
24:05Yeah. So you thought somebody had put Jaden down there because people were dropping.
24:09Jaden Daniels. We brought it up on the show.
24:12I was like, well, someone dropped Jaden Daniels. What league?
24:16This is a megalo ball. And you didn't see the sneaky devil.
24:20I thought I was sneaky. I got snooked. And then when did you realize?
24:24Uh, like when I when he saw his projection was like that's amazing.
24:29Yeah. Yeah. You didn't see the little, uh, rookie marker.
24:32My bad. Oh, I. You know what? That's a lot of leagues.
24:36That's amazing. Thank you for telling us. No problem.
24:39No problem. Are you going to? I'm going to draw.
24:42Oh, as a punishment, you're not going to play him?
24:45No. All right. Cowboys defense isn't good. That's true.
24:48Yeah. So what? Eight for fifty. Oh. Eight for fifty five.
24:52Oh, man. I wish I could have heard that.
24:55Um, other. So I you look at the Tampa Bay offense and decisions for start set at this point.
25:01There's no way you can have confidence in a pass catcher.
25:05Right? So a book. Are you trying to find other options?
25:09Would you play Dontavian Wicks against Jacksonville and London?
25:12Yeah. Over a book. Would you play Khalil Shakir?
25:15Keon Coleman over a book. Yeah. Um, would you play your grandmother?
25:18Over a Mecca of Bucca. Well, I don't think that's going to go very well.
25:23No? No, it'd be zero points. Yeah. Very dusty.
25:26Uh, I mean, I think you can play Bucky because Bucky is getting at least fifteen to seventeen rushing attempts and opportunities.
25:34Yeah. He just needs to rip it off from the twenty.
25:37He needs to have a bigger play. This is not.
25:41But the funny thing about the Bucky conversation is it's not like in weeks one and two where, you know, he did have a touchdown.
25:49He did have a good yardage game and he was catching the ball.
25:53He had zero targets last week. That's a problem.
25:56Big problem. It's going to be a big problem till Baker happens.
26:00But at least you know that, I mean, last week, sixteen carries on the ground.
26:05They are going to try to win the game that way.
26:09It established the run against Dallas and Dallas is rushing defense is not spectacular.
26:13It's twenty first right now. What do we do with the tempered expectation though with Tampa being like, hey, we have, you
26:21know, the first couple weeks like Bucky's getting all this action and like we've got him on a he's a little restricted.
26:28He's on a snap count right now. You're like, holy crap.
26:32We're going to get even more than this. And then this week, offensive coordinator Zach Robinson saying basically we need to get
26:39Kenny Gamewell and Sean Tucker more opportunities. Technically, they said that last week as well, which they did give that.
26:45Weird that they just keep saying. I mean, I think that when you're on when you're at a podium and you're asked
26:53about certain players, what do you what do you think of Sean Tucker?
26:57You're going to say something like you're going to be like funny too.
27:01Did you see the game? Well, one. Yeah, they want to get him more involved, but quote, he must earn more opportunities.
27:09So it's kind of like, yeah, we want to get him in there if he deserves it.
27:14Yes, right. Yeah. It's just trying to say whatever you can from the podium.
27:19I think that like this, thankfully, is a Dallas matchup that you're not scared about at all where you can play Bucky.
27:26I do think he might be a decent trade for candidate expecting a couple of bad weeks.
27:32I think it's going to be bad when Baker gets back and the targets are there.
27:37Yes, I think it's going to be a couple of bad weeks.
27:41So, you know, maybe you wait two weeks and trade for him.
27:45But I do think when when Baker gets back, it'll be pretty good for for Buck.
27:50You literally cannot hand the ball off to Kenny Gainwell.
27:54That is an impossible. You can't do it. His yards per attempt the last two weeks.
27:59You want to know what it is? What if I told you it was negative one point three yards per carry and then one point seven?
28:07Oh, that's a net of point four. So, yeah, if I told you something that has been brought to my attention, do
28:15you know who leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in receiving yards?
28:18Otten? Otten? Cade Otten. Yeah. I mean, I've seen some.
28:22Brother, your team is broken. Yeah, that team. Holy Lord.
28:25They're in deep trouble. The nice thing is, once again, we have the simplicity of Dallas.
28:30Ah, they're great. Yeah, I just love. You know what?
28:34Jerry Jones, you get a lot of crap on this show from me.
28:38And half of it is related to not installing blinds.
28:41But go on. Oh, look, I'm it's deserved. I'm just saying we don't give enough credit.
28:46Yeah. But you're doing great things for the fantasy football community.
28:50So we appreciate that. Two bad defenses went out in the offseason.
28:54We're like, let's fix it. And one of them dead.
28:57Yeah. The bangles. Also. But I mean, George could get the ball a little more.
29:02That'd be OK. Yeah. Last week it was twenty one targets.
29:06Twenty one targets to three. Yeah. I mean, play CD.
29:09Play Gervonta. I'm still playing George. Absolutely. I'm playing George.
29:13It'll work out. And here's the thing about Dallas that you don't know.
29:17They have not hit explosive pass plays yet. And maybe you do know it if you have George.
29:23Yes. But they they have those things are correlated.
29:26They have the most red zone touchdowns. So slower drives getting down the field and 30th in percentage of 20 plus yard completions.
29:33It will happen. George Pickens has not lost a step or anything of that nature.
29:38He's drawn two or three pass interference penalties and he hasn't.
29:42He had a big play last week. I mean, he did.
29:46He caught a downfield ball. I think he was in the 70s and yardage even though he had two catches.
29:52Yes, that is correct. And Dak. Dak looks good, too.
29:56Yeah. This team is going to be fine this week on Thursday night football.
30:00You know, my biggest worry as somebody who has to start Bucky this week with Ken Walker on by.
30:06I kind of know the game script here. If Dallas comes out and scores two quick touchdowns.
30:12It's going to be so much Devante. Yeah. Well, I was gonna say on the other side, you just can't commit to the run.
30:20You can't. You can't give Bucky the ball on first and second down.
30:24You have to go out there and try to manufacture scoring.
30:28It's just one of those things where you're like, man, can Tampa's defense just sneak a defensive touchdown or something to keep this thing close?
30:36But yeah, not an almost upset pick for me guys.
30:39Surprised? No. No. Because it's Jalen Daniels here. It's not Jaden Daniels.
30:43Right. And I do see if Jaden Daniels was on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
30:48Do you think the Tampa Bay Bucs thought that too?
30:51Oh, they saw. They're like, oh dude, there's a Jaden Daniels on the waiver wire?
30:56Yeah. That's probably what happened. What did Washington do?
30:59Pick him up. That's probably it. I just like the first thing you said.
31:04They have the same color. Like it's kind of red.
31:07Kind of a red profile picture with the jerseys.
31:10The jerseys. They're both the team colors are red.
31:13Which is what the B. Robinson problem was because like...
31:17That one's even worse. I mean, that one's on the same team.
31:20Yeah. And I mean, that one you could easily get wrong because you're like, well that guy had three touchdowns.
31:27I got a confession. I got a confession to make.
31:30Oh, fantastic. But it's on behalf of a Foot Clan member who wrote me a note and I'll share it.
31:37His wife was going into the Monday night football game in desperate straits needing a big performance.
31:43So the only player she had to start that night was Brian Robinson.
31:47And her kind husband was like, listen, your best chance at a miracle is to drop that dude and sign Kendra Miller
31:54because he's the best chance for a Monday night miracle.
31:58Oh. And Brian Robinson scored thrice and would have won her the week and Kendra...
32:02Brother. Kendra, Kendra. That's some deep state stuff. What I like about that is you know...
32:08Like, I don't know if his wife was super...
32:11Like, if this is... She was looking for help so maybe she's not super experienced.
32:16And I like the idea of him being like, let me button up the tie.
32:21Let me give you the sweet advice. Let me show you how a pro handles this.
32:26You clown. Get this Kendra Miller guy. That's fantasy in a nutshell.
32:30I love it. You guys ready for some mailbag?
32:33Yes, sir. Mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag. Woo! Apparently, the Falcon also told his fiancé to start Ladd over Debo and lost because of that.
32:40Good stuff, man. So the advice... Good stuff. The advice is flowing.
32:44Into the mailbag... You guys are doing great work.
32:47We go. TheFantasyFootballers.com. Click the submit a question button if you want some help this week and want to send us a question for the mailbag.
32:56You can dial the voicemail hotline 302-464-TFFB. We got a couple voicemails in here, Josh.
33:01Is that right? We do. Let's jump in. Hey, boys.
33:04Mike from Brooklyn here. I was wondering if you ever use DFS pricing to figure out who you should start and sit.
33:12Looking forward to hearing from you, boys. Yeah, I mean, I...
33:15So I know that as part of my rankings process, I look at all of the projections and lines from pretty much every book out there.
33:24I don't look specifically at the salaries personally, but it's the same thing.
33:28Salaries are directly correlated to points per game. It's how well have you been doing.
33:33Yes. It's not necessarily how well are you going to do.
33:37Yeah. So I mean, I think we've glanced at them from time to time.
33:41And when we've had other segments where those things have been highlighted, they can be helpful for sure.
33:47But spider writing in from Instagram. What do I do with...
33:51Spider? Yeah. Scary. Spidey. Spidey Rx. That's right. Oh, doctor.
33:54Pharmacist. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He works at Walgreens on, you know, when he's not...
33:59The friendly neighborhood. Spider man. Spidey. What do I do with David Montgomery?
34:03If I can't find a trade, you won't be able to find a trade.
34:08Do I bitterly weep? Well, there's... It'll probably get better.
34:11It will get better. I would say that you...
34:14No, it won't. Okay. If you have a closet or something that you can put some candles in, turn it into like
34:21a little prayer room, that would probably be your best avenue.
34:25Because I do think that it could get better.
34:28It could. Statistically, it could because he's a dead ladder.
34:31Because it's the worst right now. Tied for 39th in yards per carry.
34:36Lateral is possible. Tied with... Lateral is probable. Yes.
34:39But it could get better. I mean, you saw it in week one, right?
34:43Week one, he rushed for three yards of carry.
34:46Wasn't that good. But he had multiple touchdowns because the offense was doing well.
34:51That was a Niko game. Niko is back. Obviously, you've seen that their offense is able to work with Niko there.
34:58CJ Stroud looks good. So right now, David Montgomery is truly a hold.
35:02If you're going to trade him away, you're going to get nothing for him.
35:07And he is obviously not someone that should be dropped.
35:10So I think you just hold and you hope that the offense gets more scoring opportunities.
35:15And that's it, right? I think I agree that he's not a drop.
35:20But... He's not a drop because you can't drop running backs that start.
35:24But... Bi-weeks are hitting. Someone's going... He will get picked up.
35:27Someone will burn priority. Someone will burn fab to put him on their bench.
35:32Yeah. And he just... All he is doing is...
35:35It would be me though if he was out there.
35:38I... I... Yeah. He feels like a landmine. It's just...
35:42Where it's just all year, you're going to be like, man, David Montgomery's there.
35:46They're favored by over a touchdown against Tennessee this week.
35:50I mean, I'll bet his odds to score a touchdown this week are decently high.
35:55They scored 30 points on the Dallas Cowboys. And David Montgomery had 4.3 fantasy points.
36:00Yeah. I mean, the opportunities are very low the last three weeks.
36:036, 11, and 10. Because they're... It's like the Packers.
36:07They know what's going on. I mean, if he can't do it against the Colts defense, if he can't do it against
36:14Dallas' defense, that's the last two weeks. Why is Tennessee...
36:17That's where I'm asking. Why is Tennessee better? Man, I'm getting persuaded that he's David Crappertunity.
36:23I think if you look at the Nikolas versions of the Texans, which are two of those games where...
36:29Where they would want to lean on the running game.
36:32Well, you can't. If the defense only has one thing to focus on...
36:37But if Niko's there, then I'm going to run my offense through Niko.
36:41Correct. And you can score more. But if they're up...
36:44See, with the Dallas game, it's like... I'm trying to craft something.
36:48Yeah. You're cooking up a brew for David. It feels like a dark mirror version of Javante.
36:54Something about the offense doesn't work for him. Here.
36:57The offensive line. Yeah, it's probably... I mean, like, he doesn't get...
37:01Like, if you told me that David Montgomery can't run between the tackles right now, but he's getting six targets.
37:07Yeah. But he got zero. Zero is way fewer than six.
37:11I mean, the good news for him is it's not like Woody Marks is looking great behind him.
37:17Woody Marks is running for three yards of carry.
37:20It's a really tough offensive line. What's that? What's Montgomery at?
37:232-7. 2-7. Woody's at 3-1. Yeah, no, I mean, they're both bad.
37:27Woody looks like he has juice, though. Yes, he does.
37:31I get it. Dropping a starting running back is...
37:34That feels like you just can't do it. I mean, you're not doing that...
37:38But at what point? At all costs. You're doing that if you can pick up...
37:43Like, you would have done that for Will Shipley, probably.
37:47Maybe. You're not doing it for Jalen Wright. So here's what's going on for Montgomery.
37:52Tennessee, I agree. Could be good. It should be.
37:55It should work. Are they gonna lose to Tennessee?
37:58In Tennessee? No. Uh, no. I don't think that is...
38:01That's not in the outcome. Oh, get ready. It should work.
38:04But then the next week is Jacksonville. Oh, Jason's face told me, I guarantee you it's an almost upset.
38:11That's what's gonna happen this week. 7-1. Well, 7-1 is a large line.
38:157-1 on the road. So, Jacksonville is the next week.
38:18No way am I playing David Montgomery. Even... He could go out and have a multi-touchdown game against the Titans.
38:25The Jacksonville Jaguars? No, thank you. Sure. Then you get the Giants.
38:29Okay. And then you get a bye week. It's...
38:32I don't know. The upcoming stretch here is not...
38:35But if you hold him, you can drop him and say goodbye during that week.
38:40Yeah, that's not compelling. It's not going well. You're not gonna win a week because of him right now.
38:46No. But you could lose one. I'm moving him down my rankings.
38:50For rest of season? Just everything. Dynasty, rest of season, weekly...
38:54You name it, man. Up your rankings in terms of players you dislike.
38:58All right, we'll take a break. No, I still like...
39:01I like Montgomery. It's not working. It's not working.
39:04It's not working. David Montgomery or Ollie Gordon? Oh my gosh.
39:08Ollie Gordon. Not even close. Ollie Gordon. Ooh, here...
39:11RJ Harvey. Move ahead of David Montgomery. Yeah, yeah.
39:14All right, here for you, Mike. Oh, I got the nastiest one.
39:18J.K. Dobbins? I'm moving him up. I'm moving him up over Montgomery.
39:22Wow. Tony Pollard. Pollard. Easy. Yeah, I'm moving Montgomery down.
39:25I mean, that's easy. I was moving other players above Montgomery.
39:29I'm just moving Montgomery down. I still think he deserves to be rostered.
39:33Yeah, he definitely does. He's the starting... I mean, you're on weeks where you can't start somebody.
39:39I mean, do you want Ja'Cory Krosky-Meritt? Or do you want David Montgomery?
39:43Yeah, I want Bill. Jason. I mean, he's like, yeah.
39:46All the answers are everyone else, but also you shouldn't drop him.
39:50So the answer to the... If I can't find a trade for him, the answer is bitterly weep.
39:56Yes. Honestly, trading... Oh, dude, keep the clothes on, walk right in the shower, turn it on.
40:02The trade is the most compelling actual... You can do this.
40:05You just can't trade Montgomery by himself. But if you take...
40:09If the fundamental piece of the trade, let's say you're trying to get a better running back and you take a wide
40:16receiver and then you tuck David Montgomery in there, it will look more compelling than the actual player is playing.
40:23Sure. And sometimes, like, if I'm giving you a running back, I need someone to at least put in the lineup.
40:30I get that. But if you offer me a trade with Montgomery, I want a better player from you.
40:36I mean, if I said... To remove Montgomery from your roster.
40:40If I offered Luther Burden and David Montgomery, could I get Bucky Irving?
40:44Interesting. That's the type of trade. Maybe. If you just offer Luther Burden, you're not getting Bucky Irving.
40:50Maybe. But if you said Luther and David Montgomery...
40:53Maybe. That kind of little tier thing that you could do.
40:57Maybe. Maybe. And then send them highlights of the Lions days.
41:00Marshawn Lloyd or David Montgomery. Montgomery. We found it!
41:03That's David Montgomery. No, Chris Brooks is hurt. I'm taking Lloyd.
41:07No way! Yes, I am. What?! Chris Brooks is hurt and Josh Jacobs is...
41:12Lloyd is actually catching passes. Yeah, I'm definitely taking Lloyd.
41:15That's definitely what I'm doing. Oh, they're tied at 2.7 yards per carry.
41:19Yeah, well, that makes sense. All right, I want a Lloyd v.
41:23Montgomery bet this week. Yeah, depending on Chris Brooks is active.
41:27They're not. I did say Chris Brooks. Let's take a break.
41:30We'll be right back. All right, back into the mailbag.
41:34Let's go into another voicemail. Hey Ballers, quick question.
41:37Rest of season, DK Metcalf or Luther Burden? Thanks.
41:40Good. We're right back into these. It's... Look, I want the offense that I think the eventuality of it will win me a championship.
41:48I don't think Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers offense is going to do that down the stretch.
41:53Rodgers is not going to get stronger as this season goes on.
41:57But Caleb Williams is going to return. And the best players, if they are good, they emerge.
42:03So I will take Burden pretty handily. I was going to say, I've got Burden significantly higher.
42:08You're taking the Burden hand. You didn't even hear what you said, man.
42:13No, I mean, I... You said it. You walked right into it.
42:17Swish. I said I take Burden handily. Yeah. Yeah.
42:20I stand by it. No, but you shouldn't be so upset that we didn't applause.
42:25Oh, I don't need your applause. The people love you.
42:28No, I just was trying to figure out... Told you.
42:31Well... Thank you. Oh, Falcon gave it a 10 out of 10.
42:35That's terrible. That's a bad sign. I'm with you guys.
42:39What a terrible joke. All right. Eli writing in, what do I do if I'm 0-4?
42:44Do I make a crazy trade or stay the course?
42:47I mean, it's not... Probably somewhere in between there.
42:50It's not always just record. It's how is your team doing?
42:54Point score. Yeah, like points... Where are you in points per game?
42:58Are you... Are you making bad decisions? Could you have won with bench players?
43:02Yeah, all of that stuff needs to be evaluated.
43:05I did. Because... Luck... Luck is part of fantasy football.
43:09It just is. And sometimes you score the fourth most points every week, and you just happen to be up against the juggernaut of the week.
43:17So you have to evaluate. That's where you got to start.
43:21I've had a really funny year in my... Like, I'm in a CBS league for St.
43:26Jude's, and I lost to the highest score in week one.
43:30I was the second highest score. I lost in week two another tough luck loss where I scored a bunch of points, right?
43:37So I'm sitting 0-2 in that league. I'm now 2-2 with two cheap wins.
43:42I mean, just... It's just this universe balanced in that league in a funny way where, you know, I'm like, oh my
43:49gosh, if I lost these two, I'm losing all of them.
43:53And it just evened out. 0-4, like we had this conversation on the show.
43:58People brought it up on social media. We've had people 0-4, 0-5, 0-6.
44:02We had an 0-7 win a title. Staying the course might not be your answer because of all those variables.
44:08You may need to... You know, like right now, you probably can't afford to absorb buy week situations, right?
44:15Like, if you're 0-4 and then you got guys going in to buy, maybe that's where you can make a trade for
44:22another player who's buys down the line. You can get a couple wins right now while other people's teams are on by.
44:29Think about it through that lens. Classic Kyle, who is the player that has surprised you the most given his preseason projections?
44:37Is it a player like Golden? I don't know if he was looked at as necessarily going to flop.
44:43We... For Golden... Bryce Young? For Golden, it was the opportunity is there.
44:47Does he have... The player... Can the player come through with the opportunity he has given?
44:52I wasn't so sure. I was skeptical, but he has looked great.
44:56The biggest one for me is Chuba. Yeah. Like, that's like...
45:00That feels like probably my biggest miss. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with that situation.
45:05I hated him. I hated him as a fantasy football player.
45:09Not just because of what Jonathan Brooks could or could not do.
45:13I just... I wasn't into the Panthers environment, but Chuba has been awesome.
45:17Yeah, I'd say the Chargers top to bottom. All of that team.
45:21Oh, yeah. Those guys. All the Chargers. His own thing.
45:25Dude. We normally do this. I like... I mean, I have...
45:28They intended to be better, Jason. They did intend.
45:31Yeah. If they could award points on intentions. I always love taking a glance at the quarter mark for where players are
45:38finishing in terms of like the positional rankings. Here's your top five quarterbacks.
45:43Do you want me to let you try to guess or just read them to you?
45:48Just read them. Wow. I mean, like the surprises in there.
45:52No, I just want to read you the top five.
45:55Okay. At each position. All right. So, are you starting a quarterback?
45:59Starting a quarterback. Josh Allen. Well, it's like Bryce and Shuck.
46:03Does Shuck hold on to top five? I think so.
46:06Both of us. I think Josh Allen will be in there.
46:09Lamar should still be in there. No. Really? No.
46:12Shuck? Yep. Bryce is in there. Bryce. So, Josh Allen is one.
46:16Shuck is three. Bryce is four. Two more names.
46:19Oh, Kurt Cousins. He's six. Oh, I was so close.
46:23Number two is who you're missing here. All right.
46:26Who is it? Brock Purdy. Oh, of course. And number five right now is Jared Goff.
46:31Your top five running backs? This is not a shock.
46:34If you want to talk about like drafting predictability.
46:37Let's go Gibbs. Gibbs. Ken Bone Walker. Yeah. B.
46:40Yeah. Who else is? Who is James Cook? Oh, Derrick Henry.
46:44Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry's four. James Cook is ten right now.
46:48Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan Taylor's five. Cook was headed down week one.
46:51There's your top five. And then wide receivers. This shouldn't be too hard.
46:55Jason. Jason's one. Amon Ra. Number three. Who's your other?
46:59Seedy. Seedy's number two. Just thinking about my team.
47:02I'm just thinking about your team. Four and five though.
47:05Four and five are names that have not normally been there.
47:09We have a weird breaking news. Breaking news. The Philadelphia Eagles who just lost a tackle are sending two time Pro Bowl
47:16center Cam Juergens to the Ravens in exchange for picks.
47:19Are they folding? Are they? What are we doing here?
47:23That's a little surprising. Shouldn't they like be acquiring all the offensive linemen?
47:27Well, they brought Damien Pierce up to the active roster so they don't figure.
47:31So Damien Pierce will be the guy. Remember what we talked about?
47:35We didn't know who of the three practice squads it would be.
47:39That's a weird one. I think. I think Nick Sirianni's odds to get fired midseason are going up by the minute.
47:46Nick Sirianni's in trouble. Philly is impatient. Philly's impatient.
47:49And also, despite the Super Bowls and Super Bowl victory as well, I'm pretty sure everyone there hates him.
47:56They've wanted him out. I love. I just love the part where it's always another OC or another this or another that.
48:03Wow. JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Almond Ra. The next two at wide receiver.
48:07Do you got them? You should be on. Olavi's four.
48:10Mike? I think, yeah. Oh, Zay Flowers? No. No.
48:13Because he missed. I don't know. It's going to be one of your guys.
48:18Who? One of your guys. One of your guys.
48:21Oh, Christian Watson. Yeah, he held on. All right.
48:24Six is Tett, seven is Devontae Adams. And then, tight ends.
48:27You know who the number one tight end is right now?
48:31George Kittle? Yes. Oh, man. Yes. Dude. Yes. That dude's a man.
48:35That dude is awesome. Stop betting against George. He has the most touchdowns of the position.
48:40And then, Trey McBride? Yeah. Number three, Mike? I want to know.
48:44Oh, number three. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T. Oh, yes! Oh! And number four?
48:48Oh, man. I want to know where Brock Bowers is, considering he's eight.
48:52He's eight. Yeah. Dang. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T. Number four is the Laporta potty.
48:55Okay, yeah. And then number five is Travis Kelsey.
48:58Yep. Oh, that makes sense. So there you go.
49:01There's your top score. Juwan Johnson. Good for you, man.
49:05I also enjoy the fact that the top five quarterbacks are the top five scores all together.
49:10And then Dumir Gibbs and Walker break in. There's quite an overlap of quarterbacks and tight ends.
49:16Because you said Goff is in there, right? Yes.
49:19So Goff Laporta, Purdy Kittle, Shuck, Juwanson. And Mahomes is not far behind, by the way.
49:24Mahomes is number nine right now in fantasy. So throw to your tight end.
49:29But like Cousins is up there too. Yeah. Let's go ahead and jump into another question here.
49:34Start sick question from Devin. Do I start Zay Flowers with no Lamar or do I start Matthew Golden?
49:41Ravens are Sunday night games, so we may have answers on Lamar.
49:45We probably will, but we might not. Oh, he's not going to play.
49:49The most recent report I saw was like, he's not.
49:52The most recent thing I saw was that he's got an unconventional answer.
49:57I didn't see that. Yeah. What does that even mean?
50:00It means it's not conventional. Yeah. This seems pretty obvious, Jim.
50:04It's the opposite. I mean. The doctor looked at it and was like, this is the weirdest ankle sprain I've ever seen.
50:11I haven't seen anything like this. Usually ankle sprains either go this way or that way, and this one is totally different.
50:18I mean, what could it be? It's like. You're a doctor.
50:22You have to have seen this. It's. Whoa. Whoa, buddy.
50:25Oh, your ankle injury is in your knee. It's neither high nor low.
50:29Is it really? That's what Brooks just posted. It's a report from Rappaport.
50:34Okay. It's unconventional. Well, the fact that he might be able to play, even if he doesn't, is a good sign for the long term.
50:42But yeah. I play Golden against Chicago. That should be a high scoring game.
50:47The Packers defense is not getting it done. Atlanta's defense is getting it done.
50:51I mean, look at Atlanta. Atlanta should win that game.
50:54Atlanta's looking. They're cooking. A lot better. Let's see.
50:57I mean, they should win the division. I think I'm going to still stick with Flowers.
51:03Okay. I think even if Snoop. I'm going to go Golden.
51:06I'll bet you that one. Even if Snoop is there.
51:10You want to do a $100 bet on that one?
51:13Yeah. All right. Well, you're not going to want to hear this, Jay.
51:17Oh, wait. Hold up. No. All right. No. Um, let's see.
51:21My numbers that I'm seeing in the second half, Huntley through the completed eight of nine passes.
51:27Oh, that's fantastic. Sixty three yards. Uh, I'm showing Flowers with a negative yard.
51:31You remember that they were up by a bunch and they'd like stopped running them out there.
51:37Yeah. Well, but he caught two passes for negative yard.
51:40And is that, that's at least what I'm seeing.
51:43It'll be for a good bet. Yeah. It'll be fun.
51:46Uh, would you trade George Pickens and Jalen Coker to get Chris Olave?
51:51Yes, I would. Easily. Uh, yeah, I think I'm okay with that.
51:55Olave is. Olave is awesome. When you combine the pace of play, the lack of a running game and the shut capabilities.
52:02Full de-gaff at the end of the game. They're just like, we're going to put up points.
52:08I mean, if you had Jefferson, I'd trade Jefferson for Olave in a heartbeat.
52:12Yeah. Um, now where is, where's Drake London on your rest of the season rankings?
52:17Very high. Very high. Because that feels like, I mean, he feels like he's going to be top five.
52:23As long as Michael Penix keeps that job, he, Drake London is going to be amazing.
52:29Their play action game just makes, whatever they do.
52:32Oh. I just love hearing this Drake London and Olave talk.
52:35Oh. You're two Dynasty guys? Yes, sir. Yeah, whatever they do with the, uh, running all over the place thing, when you
52:43play action, Drake London just gets, he's so wildly open in that second level.
52:47They're not even close together. He just looks so good.
52:51Um, start a stick question from El Dandy 40.
52:53All right. That's the Dandy. The Dandy. The Dandy 40.
52:57Uh, so that do not oblock. Who should I start this week?
53:01Tyler Shuck against the difficult Minnesota defense. Okay. I'm assuming you're playing yourself some DAC this week.
53:06I currently have DAC in you. Or Drake May against Las Vegas.
53:10I would go May. I don't want to mess with Minnesota because I don't think you can get the kind of week you want.
53:18The three touchdown kind of week. Yeah. I lean Drake May.
53:22Thankfully he came back to look like a bum last week.
53:26Well, this one, we'll end with this one. Cause this is, this is a wild question.
53:31I'm curious Mike's thoughts. I think I know them.
53:34Uh, Morrison says I'm one in three right now.
53:37I have Ken Walker. Oh, which that's a hard, that's hard to be one.
53:41Goodness. Should I consider selling high for help right now?
53:45So you sell Walker at the, uh, I believe Walker has the 14th, highest points of all time through four weeks.
53:52He is not playing football this week. Cause the running.
53:55This is actually, this is what I kind of said.
53:58Just talking about where if you are a team that is.
54:02Oh, and four, one in three, and maybe you can't deal with a bi-week.
54:07The question is, it has to be an offer.
54:10You can't refuse though. Like if you can go get Jonathan Taylor to play this week and something plus, then I don't think that's a problem.
54:18Um, would you trade Ken Walker? Let me give you this one.
54:22Would you trade Ken Walker for a package that was like Derek Henry and golden at one and three?
54:28I might be open. I'm very, probably wouldn't do it.
54:32I don't think I'd do it. I think, I think Ken Walker is worth more to your comeback from weeks six through the rest of the season.
54:41Then he is missing a week. I think I'm worried about Henry against Atlanta this week.
54:46Tyler Huntley. Like this is, this is, this doesn't shape up to be the weeks, one of the weeks where he turns into the Yeti.
54:54Fair. I mean, he has one of the largest splits of all time in wins versus losses, which makes complete sense.
55:01He's not a pass catching back. He's the four minute run, you know, run the game out type of back.
55:08Um, so tough for him this, this week, I would say that you need to explore how much you could get for
55:15Walker and try your best not to trade him.
55:18But yeah, yeah. That's a good way to put it.
55:21And if, if something happens where it's like, wow, okay.
55:25I mean, you've got to just be overwhelmed. Yeah.
55:28You could always, uh, that's the one situation where you probably want to put the name out there to everybody.
55:34If you want to explore it, let the bidding begin and see what kind of crazy stuff you get back.
55:41Because, you know, there, there's a world where, you know, there's a world where Walker's won overall this, this year for sure.
55:48Yes. Like it's not, um, he's barely behind Gibbs right now.
55:52And get, I mean, those are, that's the 13th and 14th highest four week stretches to start a season for running backs in history.
56:00Going back to Jim Brown, who had the best one ever is wild.
56:04All right. We're going to say goodbye for today.
56:07Starts of the week tomorrow. Matchup previews. Thursday night recap.
