Player insights
Aaron Jones
PositiveProjection15:39
Aaron Jones is considered an absolutely fantastic play for the next month while he is fresh and potentially operating as the primary back in Minnesota, following a Week 1 performance where he played 46.2% of snaps with 12 carries.
Insight pagePositiveUsage42:16
Aaron Jones is a start of the week. With Jordan Mason out, Jones is expected to receive the full workload. The source highlights his fresh legs and a favorable matchup as reasons to start him.
Insight pageBijan Robinson
PositiveValue8:28
The source advises against vetoing a trade involving Bijan Robinson for Luther Burden and Chuba Hubbard, noting that while the trade is lopsided in favor of the Robinson manager, it does not constitute collusion and should be allowed in a league setting.
Insight pagePositiveUsage58:26
Bijan Robinson is a strong start against Carolina. The source notes Carolina's inability to stop the run and highlights that Robinson accounted for 63% of Atlanta's receiving yards in week one.
Insight pageBreece Hall
PositiveProjection52:27
The source briefly highlights Breece Hall as a player to keep in lineups following a great week one performance.
Insight pageBrock Bowers
NegativeInjury28:55
Brock Bowers did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Insight pageBrock Purdy
PositiveProjection38:39
The source identifies Brock Purdy as a start of the week for his matchup against the Dolphins, citing his performance since returning from injury in week 11 of last year, where he ranked as the QB3 in fantasy points per game.
Insight pageCaleb Williams
PositiveProjection68:35
Caleb Williams showed improvement in week one with a 72% completion percentage and 65 rushing yards. The source notes he is taking what the defense gives him, though he faces a tough test against a Minnesota defense that blitzes at the highest rate in the NFL.
Insight pageCarnell Tate
NegativeUsage42:37
The source notes that while Carnell Tate has talent, he is a 'wait and see' player for fantasy. He is projected for 6.5 targets by PrizePicks, but the source argues he likely needs 12-13 targets from Cam Ward to be productive. The source advises benching him against the Eagles' defense.
Insight pagePositiveProjection70:44
The source maintains belief in the talent of Carnell Tate, noting that PrizePicks projects him for 6.5 targets, though they express skepticism about his production coming from Cam Ward.
Insight pageChris Godwin
NegativeUsage55:28
The source expresses concern about Chris Godwin, noting he did not look 'spry' in week one, finishing with 4 catches for 40 yards. The source would prefer to bench him for higher-upside options.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
PositiveProjection30:40
Despite speculation about a potential time-share, Christian McCaffrey remains a top-four running back in rest-of-season rankings due to his high reception volume and efficiency, having averaged 6.8 yards per carry in Week 1.
Insight pageChuba Hubbard
NegativeUsage8:31
Chuba Hubbard is noted as having been a RB1 two years ago and received significant work in Week 1, though he is part of a lopsided trade proposal that the source deems poor value compared to elite assets like Bijan Robinson.
Insight pageColston Loveland
PositiveUsage48:55
Colston Loveland is a start of the week despite a goose egg in week one. The source notes he had the second-highest route participation among tight ends in week one and expects him to be more involved against Minnesota.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
PositiveProjection43:38
DJ Moore is a start of the week against Detroit. The source highlights his 33% first-read target share and expects the Moore-Kincaid combo to elevate Josh Allen's performance.
Insight pageDak Prescott
PositiveProjection40:06
Dak Prescott is a start of the week against Washington. Despite a poor week one, the source highlights his 18% deep ball rate (20+ air yards) and notes that Washington's defense ranked 31st in EPA per pass attempt last year with no signs of improvement.
Insight pageDallas Goedert
PositiveBreakout43:55
The source identifies Dallas Goedert as a breakout candidate for the year, expressing confidence that he has the staying power to be a consistent fantasy asset.
Insight pageDalton Schultz
PositiveProjection50:34
Dalton Schultz is a start of the week against Cincinnati. With Nico Collins dealing with a grade one hamstring injury, the source expects Schultz to see an increased target share against a defense that has historically struggled against tight ends.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeProjection105:03
While David Montgomery scored three touchdowns in Week 1, the source cautions that he is unlikely to repeat that performance, noting that the backfield usage is trending toward a committee situation similar to Jacksonville's split backfield.
Insight pageDerrick Henry
PositiveUsage60:46
Derrick Henry remains a strong play, having rushed for 144 yards at 6 yards per carry in week one, despite facing a stacked box on 50% of his carries.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
NegativeUsage25:11
DK Metcalf saw 10 targets in Week 1, including slant routes and deep shots. While he underperformed his expected fantasy points, the source notes that if this usage in the Mike McCarthy offense continues, he is a viable flex or bye-week starter.
Insight pageDontayvion Wicks
PositiveUsage44:04
Dontayvion Wicks is recommended as a spot start. The source highlights his strong usage, noting he participated in 94% of routes in week one, which provides significant fantasy value despite lower-than-desired target totals.
Insight pagePositiveUsage52:37
The source confirms Dontayvion Wicks is a viable play, noting he led the team in routes and target share in week one, with his snap share increasing from 50% as a rookie to 82% in week one.
Insight pageDrake London
NegativeProjection55:14
The source advises against starting Drake London if Cooper Rush is the starting quarterback for Atlanta, suggesting Jalen Coker as a better alternative in that scenario.
Insight pageDrake Maye
NegativeProjection45:54
The source expresses caution regarding Drake Maye for week two, citing a low over/under, the loss of A.J. Brown, and a lack of offensive cohesion. The source ranks him as QB12 and would prefer starting Purdy, Dart, Love, or Goff over him this week.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
NegativeUsage50:07
The source advises passing on Jalen Warren this week, noting that while he had six targets, his production was largely inflated by a single trick play and he looked ineffective overall.
Insight pageJoe Burrow
NegativeInjury18:53
Joe Burrow is dealing with back tightness after a hard hit in Week 1. The source speculates this injury may have contributed to his lack of downfield passing and reliance on short-area tight end targets.
Insight pageNegativeInjury62:04
The source advises finding a different quarterback option than Joe Burrow this week due to his back injury, which could lead to a reduced performance or an early exit from the game.
Insight pageNegativeProjection103:31
The source expresses significant concern regarding Joe Burrow's health and performance, with some analysts ranking him outside the top 12 for Week 2 due to injury risks and a lackluster Week 1 showing. While one the source maintains him as a QB8, there is a consensus that he carries a high risk of reduced performance or being knocked out of the game against the Texans.
Insight pageJonathon Brooks
NegativeUsage60:16
The source advises against starting Jonathan Brooks, noting that while he should be rostered, his current utilization coming off an injury makes him unreliable for fantasy lineups.
Insight pageJordan Addison
PositiveProjection63:35
The source suggests caution with Jordan Addison, noting that Justin Jefferson's massive target share limits Addison's fantasy ceiling.
Insight pageJordan Love
PositiveProjection39:02
Jordan Love is a start of the week against the Jets. The source notes the Packers lack a strong running game without Josh Jacobs, leading to a high pass rate, and points to Love's top-10 finish last week as evidence he will continue to produce.
Insight pageJordan Mason
NegativeInjury13:55
Jordan Mason is on IR with a small fracture in his thumb, which is causing soreness and will impact his availability.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
PositiveUsage62:38
Justin Jefferson is a must-start, having commanded a 39.1% target share in week one. The source compares his situation to his time with Carson Wentz, where he was on pace for 180 targets.
Insight pageKenneth Walker III
PositiveProjection33:33
Kenneth Walker is currently ranked as the RB3 or RB4 in the source's rest-of-season rankings.
Insight pagePositiveValue35:36
The source notes that Kenneth Walker is ranked third in their updated rest-of-season rankings, reflecting a recent improvement in their algorithmic evaluation process which now accounts for strength of schedule and remaining games.
Insight pageLadd McConkey
NegativeInjury24:09
Ladd McConkey did not practice on Wednesday due to an injury, but the source expects him to potentially return to full participation by Friday.
Insight pageMark Andrews
PositiveProjection47:32
Mark Andrews is a start of the week against New Orleans. Despite injury concerns to teammates like Zay Flowers, Andrews maintained a 26% route target share in week one and is considered a viable red zone threat.
Insight pageMarShawn Lloyd
NegativeUsage53:17
The source suggests pumping the brakes on judging MarShawn Lloyd based on week one, noting he faced an elite defense. He is a potential start this week due to expected carry volume in a favorable matchup.
Insight pageMike Gesicki
NegativeBust105:58
Despite a 5-catch, 78-yard performance in Week 1, the source advises against chasing Mike Gesicki's production. His snap share remains low (33% in Week 1 vs 38% last year), and he is viewed as a player who only produces when other primary targets are sidelined.
Insight pageNico Collins
NegativeInjury22:02
Nico Collins is dealing with a hamstring injury that limited his practice availability. The source expresses concern due to his history with hamstring issues, noting that imaging was required and fantasy managers should prepare alternative options.
Insight pageRashod Bateman
NegativeUsage58:42
The source is conflicted on Rashad Bateman. While he played 78% of snaps, he recorded only one target and no receptions. The source notes he 'should' be fine given the snap volume and Zay Flowers' absence, but remains hesitant to trust him.
Insight pageRhamondre Stevenson
NegativeUsage49:27
The source suggests the Patriots will need to rely heavily on Rhamondre Stevenson in the running game to compensate for the team's offensive struggles and the loss of A.J. Brown.
Insight pageRJ Harvey
NegativeInjury30:23
RJ Harvey was listed as a DNP (Did Not Participate) on Wednesday, which the source notes is significant.
Insight pageRomeo Doubs
NegativeUsage47:18
The source describes Romeo Doubs' usage as 'head-scratching,' noting he played only half the snaps despite his contract. The source is skeptical of his fantasy outlook.
Insight pageSam Darnold
NegativeDepth Chart29:05
Sam Darnold is officially ruled out for the upcoming game against the Cardinals.
Insight pageTerry McLaurin
PositiveValue44:10
Terry McLaurin is a bounce-back candidate and a start of the week against Dallas. Despite a poor week one, the source notes he remains a talented player and this matchup features one of the highest over-unders of the weekend.
Insight pageTony Pollard
NegativeBust43:33
The source describes Tony Pollard as a 'disgusting late round pick' and highlights his lack of production, noting that Davante Adams has more receiving touchdowns since the beginning of 2025 than Pollard.
Insight pageTravis Etienne
NegativeUsage57:37
The source notes that while Travis Etienne Jr. had high opportunity volume in week one, it did not translate to fantasy production. However, the source believes his high target floor (9 targets) will lead to better ceiling games.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
PositiveInjury48:21
Treyveon Henderson is expected to play this week after being a full participant in Wednesday's practice following an ankle injury. The source notes the team needs his explosiveness.
Insight pageWoody Marks
NegativeUsage105:07
Woody Marks saw 50% of snaps in Week 1 and was efficient with his touches, recording 9 carries for 42 yards and one target. The source expects the backfield to remain a committee.
Insight pageXavier Hutchinson
NegativeDepth Chart23:24
Following the injury to Nico Collins, the source notes that Xavier Hutchinson was signed in their dynasty league as a potential depth option.
Insight pageZay Flowers
NegativeInjury58:14
Zay Flowers is expected to sit out this week after failing to practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to injury.

0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
0:05Welcome in! It's football time! We're already back. Did you almost forget?
0:09No, no, no. I did not. It is super football time tonight.
0:13I did not. Super duper football time. I woke up and I was like, Oh, it's Thursday, baby!
0:18You know what we didn't even talk about on the incredible game that is happening tonight is the fact that this is the...
0:26Oh, yes. This is the Bills home opener of their new stadium.
0:30Is it Highmark? Is that what it's called? Highmark Stadium?
0:33It's the first game ever. That's gonna be... Electric.
0:36Moving lines. Electric. I will be disappointed if this game is not 68 to 65.
0:40So this is the no wind stadium, right? That's right.
0:43This is the... We are still open, but we've prevented the blustery winds.
0:48Big Dome accepts... Okay. Accepts this current compromise. We will...
0:51Look, Big Dome reserves the right to change our opinion.
0:54Thank you. Because... You're inspecting. Yeah. But if this works out where it's like, hey, y'all get your snow games, but we
1:01get that wind out of here, that absolute nonsense, that rules games.
1:05The wind is actually snow without wind would be really great.
1:08Yeah. And rain without wind is usually fine as well.
1:11Like, it doesn't get in the way of... It still gets sloppy.
1:15Well, but that's what I'm saying. When it's sideways wind and it's like 15 mile an hour to 30 mile an hour winds with the rain.
1:23That's way worse. You can't do anything. And people are...
1:27That's not fun football to watch. I don't... I can't hear that that is fun football.
1:32You can make a great argument, the whole like, oh, I don't like watching defensive games.
1:37No, you can watch an awesome defensive game where two great defenses are just annihilating the other offense.
1:43Yeah. You can have fun with that. You cannot have fun watching sideways rain football where no one can complete a pass.
1:49Everyone's slipping around. I want to giggle at the weather three times a year.
1:54I can appreciate it. I want to giggle at...
1:57I want to laugh a little bit because of what I'm watching.
2:01I want something kind of funky. Three times a year.
2:04I can appreciate the beauty of a snow game.
2:07Okay. And if you get the wind out of there...
2:10We've been working through this for years and years.
2:13And to hear that big dome is willing to go and inspect the situation.
2:17To consider what we've done with technological advancements and geometry and whatever physics is going on there to prevent the wind swirling.
2:24Cleveland better be paying attention. Well, they're not. Cleveland needs to dome.
2:28Chicago and Cleveland, those... They just... You talking about Indiana?
2:31Oh, yeah. Maybe their new state is far enough away.
2:34I don't know what the wind's like in Indiana.
2:37It's not the Windy City in Hammond, is it?
2:40We've got a great show. We've got a fun quick question, news and notes to talk about.
2:45Starts of the week today, fantasy forecast. And we had the funniest thing happen yesterday ever.
2:50And so this is... I mean, I'm going to apologize to the audio listeners already because you...
2:56I mean, you can go to YouTube and see it.
2:59You can go to our socials and see it.
3:02But lo and behold... We hired an influencer. We did.
3:05And you might not know her, but... You know, we are great friends, our partners at SiriusXM.
3:10They're like, hey, we're going to... It's football season.
3:13We're going to get you up on a billboard in New York City.
3:17And what a cool thing that is. Pretty cool.
3:20It is. But then we needed somebody. Mm-hmm. Some random...
3:23Gotta get the word out. I mean, some random person to...
3:27Preferably an influencer. To go and just show off the billboard.
3:30Yeah. And for lo and behold, somebody is browsing...
3:33I think Mike found it first. Someone tagged us.
3:36I don't know how they found it. On social media, Khloe Kardashian, who...
3:40I think she's trying to show her own billboard off.
3:43Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. If you look at this objectively, she is showing off our billboard.
3:48She's literally pointing at us. She's pointing at us.
3:51She's covering her own face and pointing at us.
3:54She's cheering for the fantasy footballers. So, I just want to say thank you, Khloe.
3:59Yes. Good work, Khloe. Wait, we got... I don't have an applause button.
4:03Oh, I got you. I got you. What in the world?
4:06The people love it. I think we really appreciate it.
4:09And, you know, she was showing off some three new fragrances and Jason pointed out.
4:14I mean, that's one way to refer to us.
4:17The new smells are Andy, Mike, and Jason. So, you can go to Sephora and pick up Khloe's three new scents.
4:24Unbelievable. You want to smell like a dirty basement?
4:27Some things. Some things. Pick up Eau de Mike.
4:29Some things are just too funny because you just can't believe.
4:33You want to smell like a chef with garlic on his hands?
4:37Is that your fragrance? Pick up Yasson. Oh, I don't know what ice cream smells like, but that's my scent.
4:43I would go with yours. My gosh. Have you not showered in like four days?
4:48No, that's... That's Jason. Is that a little garlicky?
4:51Yeah. You catching a few grass clippings in there from the range?
4:54Yes. Unbelievable. All right, our quick question of the day from Tony in North Carolina.
4:59He says, in a buddy of mine's family league, there was a trade that got vetoed and people are really upset about it.
5:07The trade was B. John Robinson. Oh boy. For Luther Burden and Chubba.
5:11Chubba. Chubba Hubba. Chubba Hubba. Chubba Hubba. Chubba Hubbard.
5:14Would you veto is the question. Oh man. And you're really...
5:17Let me... You guys answer the question. I'm going to give the opener.
5:21Yeah. The opener is that our policy, of which I know we still hold to, is that outside of open collusion, let
5:28people be who they want to be. We have been around the game long enough to see trades that look lopsided in
5:35one person's favor change in the blink of an eye and be lopsided for the other person.
5:41So in almost all circumstances, we would say you never veto.
5:44You certainly don't have a commission only veto situation.
5:47You know, if you have to have a veto, it should be some sort of like unanimous league veto.
5:53Even then, we say pretty much just don't have it.
5:56Yeah. This is not a good trade. It is not a good trade.
6:00Bijan is worth much more than the hope of what Luther Burden can become mixed with Chubba Hubbard.
6:06However, there's a world... I mean, Chubba Hubbard was running back one two years ago.
6:11He got all the work in week one and Luther Burden was drafted as a, you know, a wide receiver too.
6:17High potential. And so it's one of those things where unless you know that these managers are doing something nefarious, one of
6:24these guys is giving in, one of these guys is helping a buddy or whatever.
6:29More than likely, one of these guys is just bad at fantasy football.
6:33We have the... The clues are in the question.
6:36In a buddy of mine's family league. Ah. Y'all never been in a family league?
6:41Someone's dunking on kids. It's generally speaking, and maybe I'm way off base here, but I don't think I am.
6:47It's a family league, which that means that there's going to be people in that league who aren't like dialed in, ravid fantasy football maniacs.
6:55Sounds like there's one. There's one that might be.
6:58It's funny because we played in the family league for several years with our children, one year with our wives.
7:04None of us ever won that league, right? Because we didn't go...
7:08We didn't do this. We didn't do this. We didn't do this.
7:12We didn't try to take advantage of the other people and be like, this is going to be so fun.
7:18It's not a 100% guarantee that the Bijan side will win this, one.
7:22Pretty close, but... It's pretty... I mean, it is pretty close, but I mean, literally, I mean, you could have injuries.
7:29You could have things that change the situation. We don't like what's going on in Atlanta, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
7:36It's probably a very lopsided trade in the Bijan manager's favor.
7:40However, if the Chuba, the person getting Chuba has zero wide receivers at all, there's a world where the net effect of this trade is better for them.
7:48Look, this is the type of nuance and speculation that we don't want veto power to control.
7:54So, crappy trade. That's okay. Crappy trades can happen.
7:57And here's... Look, my advice. If you are in a family league and you are a cutthroat fantasy football player, if you're
8:04listening to this podcast, you want information. You want to be better.
8:07That's on you, man. You go make that trade.
8:10You know who to trade with. Yeah. Go get their players.
8:14Yep. All right. News time. News and notes from around the league.
8:18That escalated quickly. Oh. You guys were making fun of his sore thumb.
8:22I mean, to be fair... It's got a fracture.
8:25Kevin O'Connell did say he has a sore thumb.
8:27And to be fair, I'll bet he did because it was broken.
8:31So, I'll bet his thumb was pretty darn sore.
8:34Jordan Mason's on IR with a small fracture in his thumb.
8:38Cool. The fracture was certainly tied to the soreness.
8:40That's two thumbs down for that. Nice. Yeah. That's one thumb down.
8:44One's in a cast. Joe Burrow told reporters... On that note though, before we move on to Joe Burrow, this matters for fantasy.
8:52Yes, it does. We'll talk about it later today, but there's going to be some waiver wire pickups.
8:57Do you pick up their rookie who's got a lot of speed?
9:01De'Veon Claiborne. De'Veon Claiborne. There was some talk about...
9:04When you listen to Kevin O'Connell talk, he was not bullish on the rookie.
9:08Now, I'm hopeful on the rookie. I liked the rookie's tape.
9:12He had a lot of speed. The thing I liked with Jordan Mason coming into this year, kind of that outside vertical zone, works really well for him.
9:21I think it works pretty well here for Claiborne as well.
9:24However, the quotes were talking all about pass protection and that they're excited for his future, but he's got a lot of work to do.
9:32So, you kind of have to temper it a little bit.
9:36Can we just say... Aaron Jones! Yes. It's like we've been trying to find the non-Aaron Jones answer in Minnesota.
9:42Aaron Jones is part of the equation here. For the next month, he becomes an absolutely fantastic play.
9:48His legs are fresh, which we see all the time.
9:51A lot of times older players get off to a stronger start in the beginning of the year.
9:57Last year's Keenan Allen was great for about a month.
10:00If he's all alone for a month, that is fantastic.
10:03Yeah. I mean, this is going to be... The Vikings are just an interesting case all the way around when it comes to fantasy.
10:11I mean, Aaron Jones played 46.2% of snaps. That was 2% higher than Jordan Mason in week one.
10:16Mason did have a lot of work, but I mean, it was pretty even.
10:2112 carries for Aaron Jones, 15 for Jordan Mason.
10:24I even think they were similar efficiency-wise. So, yeah.
10:26I mean, Aaron Jones is going to get a ton of work.
10:30It's... Yeah, I don't know what their offensive philosophy becomes.
10:33Because you can't... They talked about, we really want to run more.
10:37You can't feed Aaron Jones just carry after carry after carry.
10:41So, I'll be interested to see if Claiborne can get things...
10:44Just get some opportunities. If you took him in your rookie draft, this is the kind of break that you need.
10:51This is your moment. Yeah. Yeah, it's Jason's moment too.
10:54He just spent 29 in the Chop League for him.
10:57Well, I... For Claiborne? Jordan Mason was my running back two, and my running back three was Isaiah Pacheco.
11:03So... Blew! I have to have a start. There was no one out there.
11:08And also, 29 fab in a... For context, we have 1,000 fab in that league.
11:12Yeah, there's 27 more than you needed. Sure. I just looked at that.
11:17Julia was talking about him, and I was like, ah, and she needs him too.
11:21Oh, there's the little... There's the Chop League... The context of your league matters.
11:26Well, no, I just... You got talked up. Talk up a name.
11:30I mean, just start saying rumors about people you love.
11:33Joe Burrow told reporters, this sucks, that he's dealing with back tightness, expects to play.
11:38You can go back and watch the clip. He got...
11:41He got... And what's crazy is we saw this play live, and when I saw it, I made a comment in the
11:48studio that, oh, you don't want to see that.
11:51Right. Because he was going to the sideline, and instead of going out of bounds, he just kind of like dove forward in inbounds and got absolutely annihilated.
11:59Like, it was a hard hit. Then he gets up, and you see him react, ah, ooh, you know, like we do
12:06when we get up in the morning. And now you have him dealing with back tightness.
12:11And then Jason and I yesterday, Mike, on the footcast, yeah, you were heading out to your son's football game.
12:18Driving to Tucson. Going to Tucson in the rain.
12:21But we started to speculate, like, you know, why were we so frustrated with him not going downfield?
12:26Why was it so many tight ends in the short area?
12:30Was he feeling a little bit of pain from this?
12:33Yeah, that's fair. I don't like it. No, I don't want to have conversations about Joe Burrow being hurt, guys.
12:39And what's going on with people's backs? What? Why aren't people wearing precautionary back braces?
12:44Yes, thank you. I mean, like two of- Or at least like the thing you wear when you're doing death.
12:50You're talking about the spasm epidemic going on. Seriously.
12:53I don't have a stretch for that one, guys.
12:56There's no butterfly. I don't know what to do.
12:59No. I think you just do the old twisty.
13:02You know what they need on the sideline? They need a good old-fashioned school desk.
13:07Oh, because it'll pop your back. You sit on that and then- Oh, you just see that chair.
13:12Yeah. You just lean back. Correct. The ultimate in chiropractic care.
13:16Elementary school desk. Did you see a chiropractic? No, I actually just bought a chair from a school.
13:22Nico Collins, this sucks. This is limited hamstring injury availability in question for the upcoming week.
13:27We're going to talk about it probably on today's episode.
13:30This is concerning because you started the practice fine, then got injured.
13:34Then they say that they're going to get imaging done, which you don't do that for no reason.
13:39It's a scary proposition. Like right now, if you have Nico, you have to make plans to have a different player pick
13:46someone up off the waiver wire, maybe elevate booty in your mind or whatever you're going to do.
13:52Done. Yeah. Look, this is not our fault. It's the man's name.
13:56Andy hasn't really been a booty guy, but lately, especially after the Nico injury, he's really become a booty guy.
14:02I did sign Xavier Hutchinson in our dynasty league to play.
14:06Yeah. So, cause he was available. So that's something to pay attention to.
14:10But you know what sucks is that, you know, isolated hamstring injury.
14:14Sure. This ain't his first. This ain't his first rodeo with this.
14:17I mean, he missed, um, one, two, three, four weeks, five weeks in 2024 with a hamstring injury.
14:23It's him and Evans are the two that if you talk hammies, I don't like it.
14:28It makes me think about how good Jordan Tyson is going to be.
14:32Cause Nico's awesome. Right. Mike Evans is awesome. There's something about these tall guys who have like, Oh, they run too fast for their hamstring.
14:40When they're healthy, they're going to be awesome. But their Achilles heel is their hamstring.
14:45It's their, well, it's their hamstring. Yeah. Yeah. I get it.
14:49Um, lad McConkey didn't practice on Wednesday. We'll monitor that.
14:52I think that is Friday. Yeah. Wednesday doesn't matter to me on recovering from that injury.
14:57But I heard about the timeline. They were expecting him to not practice Wednesday to do a little bit Thursday to be full go Friday.
15:05That, so we'll, we'll, we'll see if that pans out or not.
15:09I just acquired, uh, Mike's least favorite player in the NFL in our league of record.
15:14DK Mecca. Yeah. Nice. Just, just in this moment.
15:16Dude. Oh, you just made it. He has the lowest, he had the highest expected fantasy points contrasting with his performance, which might just be what DK is.
15:25Mm hmm. But at the same time, what I ended up doing was I traded Dajon Stribling.
15:31Mm hmm. And a, and a small pick swap.
15:34I get it. I get it. To get Metcalf because Stribling, we just got the word that Stribling is out.
15:40Probably 10 weeks. 10 weeks. Yeah. Ankle surgery. We were hoping, I mean, I think part of the show yesterday was like,
15:47Hey, Stribling and Tyson will be out the same amount of time.
15:51No, this is a nightmare. This is a, my guy that got no chances to be a, my gut in there brother.
15:58Yeah. What was it? It was a Blake Darwin week one ACL and sort of Jason last year in the capacity where
16:05like Kittle just sucked the life out of the beginning of your season.
16:09But I said it on yesterday's show. I, I will forever be a DK Metcalf hater, but the opportunity if, if week
16:16one is the new trend of this Mike McCarthy offense and how they're going to use DK Metcalf.
16:22If he has to be a starter for me on by weeks and things like that, or in a flex spot I can live with.
16:29It was funny. He had 10 targets and these are like, he's getting, I mean, he's running a lot of slants, but
16:36he's getting big boy, uh, a dot shots too.
16:39Uh, it was funny that you're talking about his expected fantasy points and he was, he had far fewer expected fantasy points than what he should have realized.
16:48He had fewer reals. Yeah. Um, and then it was like, I was looking at the list 19 expected or something like that.
16:55Yeah. And then it was like, when I looked at all of the players that kind of, you know, this, there's a
17:02great stat to look at is what was their opportunity and did they fail on that opportunity or not?
17:08And it was like, oh, there were some players who really outperformed their opportunities.
17:13Jason Almond Ross St. Brown, Chris Olave, Jameer Gibbs.
17:16It's all the good players go figure. They, they do more with their opportunities.
17:20And then it's like the players who had great opportunity, but did less.
17:24It was DK Metcalf, Matthew golden, Malik Washington, Jamison Williams.
17:28So it was like, oh, well, yeah, I see a trend.
17:31I've got one more thing I want to talk about here.
17:35We've got a couple of things in the news and then I have another topic to bring up, but Brock Bowers didn't
17:41protect, didn't participate on Wednesday in practice with the knee.
17:45Sam Darnold is officially out against the Cardinals. That line keeps changing.
17:48It is now three and a half points. Last week when we were, I think it was, was it Monday?
17:55I think it was Monday. Cause I don't think that Monday night football is over.
18:00You were talking about, yeah, you and I were trying to guess the line.
18:04Yeah. And, and you thought it would be, I think three and a half is what you guessed.
18:10Yeah. The line was five and a half. Then yesterday moved to four and a half.
18:15And now it is where you guessed it at three and a half.
18:19And I think some, I think Arizona's going to win the game.
18:23Uh, RJ Harvey was listed as DNP on Wednesday.
18:26Pay attention to that. That is, uh, you know, significant.
18:29I'll bet Jonah Coleman hit a lot of waivers this, this week.
18:33Yeah, no, that's a good point. And then the last thing I want to talk about is a comment, uh, that came
18:40up on 95, seven, the game they were interviewing Christian McCaffrey.
18:43Hmm. Here's the quote from Christian McCaffrey. I look at some of the duos last year, like B.
18:49John and Tyler Algier and Gibbs and Monty. It was such a good way to keep people fresh.
18:54He's good enough to do that. Speaking. Caelan black.
18:57Speaking of Caelan black and what he can add to the offensive run game in 2026.
19:02Interesting. Wow. That would be, I awful. I don't know if it'll be awful.
19:07The downgrade to the outcome. Yes. Like he won't be, if that was in any way, shape and form true, the, the
19:14McCaffrey healthy equals number one overall would change. Yeah.
19:17Yeah. I mean, you, you look at him last week.
19:20He was great. Six point yards, a carry eight, eight targets.
19:23Did you not catch that? What? Six point yards.
19:26Six point. What? I thought I said six point eight yards of carry.
19:30No, no, you didn't. No, you just dropped off.
19:33I left the eight out. Yeah. You should do different words out there a little bit.
19:38Okay. Well, six point eight yards per rush attempt.
19:41Eight targets, five or six. That's effective talking. Really.
19:44You know, he was, you got that? You got that Andy?
19:47Man, way to jump on it. My point is he was.
19:51I gotta hit those Andy. He was the running back 22 last week.
19:55Like it. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. I just, he'll still be even in a time show.
20:00Then he would, if you're like Chris McCaffrey, healthy is number one.
20:04If he's in more of a time share and healthy, he's still top three to me.
20:09Top three. No, no. Yes. He's like a, well, I forgot about Ken bone Walker.
20:13Top four. Oh, Hey, rest of the season rankings.
20:16Where do you have Ken bone Walker right now?
20:19Cause I know where I've got him. Way too high.
20:22Uh, let me pull it up. He's number three.
20:25RB three. Yeah. He's number three. RB three. Right now.
20:28I just say that's four. McCaffrey will still be perfectly fine.
20:32Cause he'll get a ton of reception. B. John Gibbs and JT.
20:36Yeah. Who's ahead of him. I think I would actually like stribbling out.
20:40Tweet that. Stribbling out means more receptions for Chris McCaffrey.
20:43Yeah. That, I mean that, that team, did you see how heavily favored they are this week?
20:48Do you know what the line is? I don't in that game.
20:52I haven't looked. They're playing the dolphins Jason. Ooh.
20:55Guess the line man. Okay. At Homer on the, I believe it's at home.
21:00Okay. Okay. Minus if you, they, they were, they opened laying the, giving the chargers 10 and a half versus the Cardinals.
21:06I want to say nine and a half, but based on Andy, it was like, was it like 11?
21:13No, it's gotta, it has to be double digits.
21:1513 points. Yeah. 13 and a half. And unlike the Cardinals.
21:19Cause generally speaking, that's what won't be my almost subset this week.
21:23When you see, when you see a favor like that, you're like, just take, just give me the points.
21:29No, no, I will not be taking the points.
21:32Also worth noting. Cause you just brought up our rest of season rankings.
21:36Andy, where I've got a Ken bone Walker fourth.
21:39You guys have him third though. The, we have those on the site.
21:43We have improved them drastically. Uh, this very recently.
21:46Um, we are taking into account games left strength of schedule per position.
21:50All sorts of algos have been strengthened on this side of the really, really cool stuff.
21:55So, and that goes into our trade, uh, analyzer.
21:58So everything that you, all the tools, they're getting massive upgrades and, and, uh, I'm excited that, that includes our, our dynasty trade analyzer.
22:05So if you're, if you're in the trade analyzer and you're in a dynasty league, you're going to have a couple options
22:12in there to look at short-term, long-term differentials in the value of the trades.
22:17Cause people just want to know, is the trade good?
22:20And that's just not, I'd love to say yes or no always.
22:24But in a dynasty league, we say this all the time on the mailbag shows.
22:28When these questions come in, are you trying to win this year?
22:32Are you looking for long-term? There is a little bit of a tipping of the balance based on how when now versus
22:39long-term versus youth versus, you know, all of those equations matter.
22:43So we're, we're putting some upgrades into place. We're keeping startup dynasty rankings updated all in season, not just in the off season.
22:50All of that should hit the foot clan this week.
22:53Uh, just some more perks. I would just say to be safe next week, but soon.
22:58Yeah. It's Thursday. Yeah. And for you to say that, uh, I'm usually the one pushing the.
23:04Yeah. The announcements a little too early. All right.
23:06We'll take a break and we'll jump into our starts.
23:10Starts of the week brought to you by apple card.
23:13Starts of the week for week number two. Oh my goodness.
23:16Here we go. Quarterback started the week for me.
23:19I'm going Brock Purdy in that matchup against the dolphins.
23:22Nice. Amazingly. And, uh, you know, all the respect you've been wanting to throw his way since returning from injury last year
23:29in week 11, the quarterback three and fancy points per game.
23:33They're monster favorites. Let's go. Brock Purdy. I'm going to go with the guy that you guys have loved a lot more than I have in his career.
23:42Jordan love, uh, this week, uh, against the New York jets.
23:45They don't have a very good running game without Josh Jacobs.
23:49And they let him throw the ball second and neutral pass rate sixth and pass rate over expectation.
23:54That was against a very good Minnesota defense. I think against the jets, he will cook.
23:59He was top 10 last week. I he'll keep throwing the ball and the jets ain't going to scare me.
24:06And I'm going to Dak Prescott versus Washington. Last week.
24:09Wasn't what we wanted. One hundred and seventy five and two plus some nasty George Pickens drops, but 18% of his passes were 20 or more air yards.
24:18That is the, that is delightful. CD lamb and George will be better.
24:22And Washington's defense 31st and EPA per pass attempt last year.
24:25And I don't think that they fixed it. Yeah.
24:28I, I no signs that they have my running back start of the week.
24:33I'm going Bay shawl tootin. Oh, 16 opportunities last week.
24:36Even though the snaps were pretty, even with crowd 14 rush attempts and like one season or one week a season does not make, but Denver.
24:44You got run on by Ken bone Walker in that game.
24:48Um, also if you listen to the quotes from Liam Cohen.
24:51Yeah. He was waxing poetic on base shell tootin's performance.
24:54Yeah. I think it's going to be a pretty good week.
24:58I want to give people confidence after kind of a, you know, everyone's looking at the snap counts and crowd on the field.
25:05I look, I think tootin, um, I still want to see what the goal line looks like.
25:11That's the concerning part, but I think the opportunities will be there.
25:14The Denver matchup, not scary against the run in week one.
25:18So I'm going to chase it. I like it.
25:21You guys remember when Chuba Hubbard was able to be paired with Luther Burton to get Bijan.
25:26Yeah. Yeah. That was because he played against Chicago bears who were 29th and yards per carry allowed 31st and rush success
25:33rate allowed in 30th and yards before contact per attempt.
25:36I am playing Aaron Jones without Jordan Mason. We just talked about him earlier.
25:41He's going to get all the work. He is a good back.
25:44His legs are fresh. The matchup is great. Throw him in there.
25:48I love it. I'm going Bill Krosky, baby. Do something so we can make some more jokes.
25:54He was the clear lead back. It, you know, look, he ran 13 routes for Bill.
25:59Okay. Okay. But 16 carries as well. And the matchup against Dallas, they allowed a 59% success rate in week one against
26:06the Giants, which is the second highest rate allowed by a Cowboys defense since 2018.
26:11They so far through week one, they have not fixed their defense.
26:14So I'll play Bill. All right. Wide receiver. Start of the week.
26:18I'm going to go with a start of the week for tonight.
26:22It's DJ Moore against Detroit Highmark Stadium debut. Huge over under 33% of Buffalo's first read targets.
26:27I'm all about the DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid combo to elevate Josh Allen into a stratosphere above the stratosphere he was already in.
26:35I don't even know what that is. I don't know what is up there.
26:39There's more spheres. Is there some sort of tertiary sphere?
26:42Eventually there's space. Eventually. Yeah. Is he going to outer space?
26:46He might go to space. I'm going to at least low orbit.
26:50All right. I'm going to go with a guy that I didn't love in the off season and he was terrible in
26:57week one, but I believe Terry McLaurin has a...
26:59Yeah, I mean, Terry McLaurin's... This one's a really interesting one.
27:03He is still a very good player. Last week was a very difficult matchup and this week is a very easy matchup.
27:10He's going to... He's going to... He's going to Dallas.
27:13I could have gone to Stephon Diggs, but I think that in this matchup against Dallas with the highest over under of
27:20the week outside of tonight's game of the weekend slate, Terry is a great bounce back candidate.
27:25I think he's got wide receiver two upside and probably in most leagues should be started.
27:30I got a couple nasty boys here for you.
27:33We're going huge against the Las Vegas Raiders. Glenn Johnson.
27:37I actually like it a lot. Lad McConkie is beat up.
27:40Maybe he plays, maybe he doesn't, but if Lad plays, he's going to be in a big puffy coat.
27:46So we'll see if that affects how he can play.
27:49There was part of me that's like, man, if you have to wear a flak jacket for your ribs, it's got to be better for the bigger guys.
27:58It's a higher percentage of his body weight. In six career games versus the Raiders, he has averaged six targets and over 11 fantasy points per game.
28:07The Chargers are big, almost a touchdown favorite. So I like him as a, if you're looking at your wide receiver room
28:14going, man, I don't, I just don't know who to play.
28:17I think huge is going to work this week.
28:20I saw something that it was like 20% of his career production has come against the Raiders.
28:25It makes sense. Yeah. Yeah. That's wild. All right.
28:28This is my, I mean, maybe this is that button over there, Mike.
28:32Maybe I need to, why don't you put something on for me?
28:36Whoa. We're at that point already? Put them shorts on.
28:39Hold on. I just think that this guy's earned them.
28:43Just steal? Oh no, I found it. I just need to steal.
28:46Steal underpants. I hate this. I mean, it feels like you have to wear them for this guy.
28:52Mark Andrews, start of the week against New Orleans.
28:55I feel like this is just so that I don't drop him.
28:59You want to make me start him. Ravens offense looked good in week one.
29:03This is a trick. It's a trap. We don't have, I mean, Lane's on IR.
29:08Zay Flowers is banged up. We don't know 100% whether he'll be 100%.
29:12And Mark Andrews still targeted on 26% of the route, still a viable red zone target.
29:17I think we get a touchdown this week, a touchdown guarantee.
29:21Oh, my touchdown guarantee. Okay. Mark Andrews, I guess.
29:23First one of the year. I guess I won't be dropping Mark Andrews.
29:28Um, got him. Uh, however, I'm my start of the week is a guy who scored fewer than Mark Andrews did last week.
29:35Colston Loveland, which I hope this is like the only time this year we're allowed to make him a start of the week.
29:42And it was just like a, well, duh, of course you're going to start Colston Loveland.
29:47Goosed last week. Uh, but he had the second highest route participation of any tight end in week one.
29:53There were 280 rushing yards or something that, you know, came from the bears.
29:58They did not need Colston Loveland. I think against Minnesota, they will.
30:02He's a great player. Obviously you drafted him. You're not going to move off, but I think it's going to be a
30:09good, you know what the, the actual problem people are going to have with Loveland and which is why this is a
30:15great idea to bring them up again is that there's going to be people with Loveland and Goddard and they played Loveland
30:22and Goddard was on the bench or Goddard was on waiver wires and they picked them up.
30:28Now you're staring down a guy that had two touchdowns in a 20 point week versus a goose star Loveland.
30:34There you go. I'm going with Dr. Schultz, AKA Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans Cincinnati.
30:39I mean, that's, that's, that's actually too generous probably for what the doctor puts out on the field.
30:45It's a great start. We talked about like Nico is hurt.
30:48Um, and we, we just got some news that Nico not practicing today diagnosed with a grade one hamstring injury.
30:55So we'll see if he's able to go or it even be a full-time player if he does play, but the doctor
31:02man against the Cincinnati who they've been historically bad against the tight end.
31:06And he just, you gotta wait. Where else are you going to go with the football?
31:11I expect him to have a, a decent target share much better in a PPR situation, but the doctor when he, when,
31:18when you call on him and you really need him, he tends to show up.
31:23Nico not practicing today. Yep. That was starts of the week brought to you by apple card, applying the wallet app on
31:30your iPhone today, subject to credit approval. Apple card issued by Goldman Sachs bank, USA, Salt Lake city branch terms and more at apple card.com.
31:38You guys ready for the matchups? Yes, sir. Let's do it.
31:41Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks. All right. Week two.
31:44Away we go. We previewed the Thursday night football game, which we're so excited for on yesterday's show.
31:50Starting with Carolina. Oh, and one. It was an impressive week.
31:54There, there were a handful of teams that just had great week ones that ended up own one.
31:59And you're like, man, that's where's the league median for you?
32:03Yeah. Like my listener league team, Carolina, oh, and one Atlanta, oh, and one games in Atlanta, Vegas line Carolina on the road, minus two and a half.
32:12The over-under is 43 and a half. We don't know who's going to be the quarterback.
32:17In fact, Atlanta came out and said, we're not ruling anybody out.
32:21That means we're not ruling out Cooper rush. We're not ruling out to a tongue of my low.
32:26We're not ruling out Michael Penix jr. And we're not ruling out Jack strand.
32:31Yeah. You shouldn't have for that. You can't rule out a killer.
32:34Look, it can't be Cooper rush. I'm trusting Stefanski here to play someone else.
32:39That's my, that's what, look, I think Atlanta will win the game if they don't start Cooper rush.
32:45That is what I actually believe. I think if Michael Penix holds out for three more games, he might get a contract extension.
32:52Yeah. That's a great, Michael Penix is, he's, he's been.
32:55Four more games. Arthur blanks, put him in the ring of honor.
32:59He's been 110% for months, but he knows what the people ahead of him is getting better for him.
33:05No, it's great. Tua is not practicing. I haven't seen today, but Tua did not practice yesterday.
33:10Rush did practice. It's going to be Cooper rush, man.
33:14Dude. If it's Cooper rush, can you start Drake?
33:16No. It's hard. I mean, maybe not. Maybe not is the right answer because you might not have another option, but look, I'll put it this way.
33:25If you have Drake London and Jalen Coker and Cooper rushes the starting quarterback, I would play Jalen Coker.
33:31Yeah, I would too. For sure. I mean, let's, I'll run through some names.
33:35It won't feel good, but it won't say we'll get nastier, but Devante Adams.
33:40Yeah. I would play Adams. Uh, Rome. A dunze.
33:43I would play Rome. Uh, okay. Chris Godwin against Cleveland.
33:46That's where I go. Godwin looked bad, man. Yeah.
33:49Godwin did look bad. We didn't say it on yesterday's show.
33:52Takes you like, takes you don't like. That would have been in my shaky take situation.
33:57The Godwin performance. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I like how Kyle organized these quarterbacks.
34:02He is the Atlanta fan here and Kyle, feel free to speak up, but he said to a didn't want to play Cooper rush.
34:09Did not play. Well, Michael pigs, Jr. Not allowed to play.
34:13That's the way that it works right now. Yeah.
34:16Uh, you start B. John. Would you play Mecca or Drake London?
34:20I'd play Mecca. If it's Cooper. Mike, here's the thing here.
34:23You can't make it. I've said enough good things about DK Metcalf.
34:27You can't do that to me. Here's what I.
34:30How's the game going to go? You have to trust a little bit.
34:34The line, right? Atlanta wants to do this. They want to get ahead.
34:38By a few points and run B. John and pass to B.
34:42John and just live that way with the defense and the running game.
34:46You think Carolina is getting up to three scores against Atlanta?
34:49I don't. I don't think that's going to happen in Atlanta.
34:53That would be your one scenario where Cooper rush has to fade back and throw a pick and then throw to London and then throw a pick.
35:01Yeah, it probably doesn't happen. I also think that I don't want to play Kyle pits.
35:06What we've seen for the last two years with the Carolina Panthers defense is that they have no ability to stop the run.
35:14They are they are world class bad at stopping the run.
35:17We saw that against DeAndre Swift and common on guy last week.
35:21B. John has every opportunity to be the number one running back on the week this week.
35:26He was 63 percent of Atlanta's receiving yards. Yeah, that's just it's like you're great and it's broken there.
35:33Yeah, so I would I would expect this to be a close game where Atlanta's focus is B.
35:38John and try to play Kyle thinks it's going to be a rush.
35:42I mean right now it almost has to be unless to get healthy this week.
35:47It doesn't seem like Penix is going to name is perfect Cooper rush just rush when he's in there.
35:53Yeah, yeah, Bryce Young Chuba Hubbard, Tett McMillan and Coker Darren Waller.
35:57I Waller is somebody I'm keeping a close eye on because the snap count should rise over time.
36:03He had a touchdown called back. I think he will be a red zone target.
36:07I just throwing that out there. But where are we with these other options?
36:12I think it's I think the other options are fine to play.
36:16Jonathan Brooks, I should say to you saw week one.
36:19No, I'm not playing Brooks. I would agree. You can't play Brooks until I Brooks should be rostered.
36:25You should be excited. You should be watching him and hopefully it gets closer to a 50 50 timeshare since he was coming back from an injury.
36:33But the utilization he had last week, you can't rely on him getting a four year in a boot camp reception.
36:40So the wide receivers, both Ted Rowe McMillan and Jalen Coker, I think should be started as wide receiver twos.
36:46The Falcons looked OK in week one on defense, but they shut down the Pittsburgh Steelers.
36:51But that could be I'm talking to the wide receivers.
36:54Oh, sure. For the wide receivers. They looked OK.
36:57They were terrible last year. Last year they were like 30th this year.
37:01It was OK. But how much of that's Aaron Rodgers?
37:05So I think I'm OK starting McBillen and Coker.
37:07Yeah, I am too. The Minnesota Vikings at one or no take on the one or no Chicago Bears in Chicago, Vegas
37:14line Chicago minus four and a half over under forty seven and a half.
37:19Jason, you made Aaron Jones your start of the week.
37:22We just talked about it. Price picks is projection for him.
37:25Rushing receiving is seventy nine and a half yards.
37:28Wow. They expect a lot of Aaron Jones involved.
37:31Whoa. And this is where, you know, it's really hard in a divisional matchup like this to say that they're going to
37:38put Claiborne in there very much at all. I just don't think he'll have a lot of opportunities and neither does price picks.
37:45Apparently, that's the quotes. The quotes this week from Kevin O'Connell were basically that DJ Dallas will have an increased role.
37:52And they just signed. Yeah. Or called up. And that and that Claiborne needs to work on his past protection.
37:58Justin Jefferson, thirty nine point one percent target share in week one.
38:02What do we think of that? Sounds like Carson Wentz.
38:05Yeah. I mean, we saw this with Carson Wentz last year.
38:09He played five games as the starter and Justin Jefferson was on pace for about one hundred and eighty targets.
38:15He's going to soak it all up. That's partially why I don't think you can really play Jordan Addison.
38:21Granted, we don't know for sure that Carson Wentz is starting, but I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily.
38:27I mean, the the the matchup is really nice for the wide receivers.
38:31So maybe you can throw Addison in there, but I think there's enough people around the league that I wouldn't do.
38:38I would start over him. Chicago was the fourth team ever to allow thirty five points and win by twenty or more.
38:44They gave up so many points last week, but you know, that's the way the game went.
38:50And now they're at home. Minnesota, the good matchup.
38:53We expect it to be Carson Wentz. We'll see Caleb.
38:56Yes. Swift. Uh huh. Sure. Yeah. The Vikings defense is stout against the run.
39:00So when you look at a guy that's going to get limited touches, you have to say, what are your odds?
39:07It's a touchdown. I think they go down this week from a nun guy.
39:11Yeah, I'm I'm not wanting to start man. I personally in the first three quarters.
39:16The split for between Swift and Manunga were drastic.
39:19They were you know, Manunga had like four carries.
39:22I think at that point going into the fourth quarter, it was like 13 or 14 for Swift.
39:28It was a it was a very wide gap.
39:31Then as the fourth quarter, they pulled away one by 20.
39:34They just gave gave Manunga the end of the game.
39:37Now, granted, he was coming back off of an injury.
39:40So maybe we will see more involvement. But Minnesota is a great defense.
39:44So I wouldn't want to start the backup running option.
39:48No, no more expectations of Khalif Raymond getting a thirty four point six percent target share after week one.
39:54He better not. I picked him up a couple places.
39:57I will say this. He's who you need to keep your eyes on snap percentage.
40:02If Rome is healthy now and is fine and Rome played forty eight percent of the snaps.
40:07If he goes up and plays, you know what what we would expect and he's up at 70 percent of the snaps and Khalif Raymond is gone.
40:16And you could see these three wide receivers wide receivers being Colson Loveland is one of them playing the majority of snaps.
40:23I think we'll see what we were hoping for.
40:25But if this week Khalif Raymond goes out there and is playing 50 or 60 percent of the snaps because he knows
40:32the system, he came over from Ben Johnson with the Detroit Lions.
40:36He's just a good, good enough veteran player to mix in.
40:40And they've got packages for him all the time.
40:43I think that's going to prove to be really problematic for Luther Burden, for Roma Dunzey and potentially for Colson Loveland.
40:49If there's a fourth mouth to feed. I think Raymond is year 10 for Raymond.
40:54I think you look at him a lot like Kendrick Bourne in week one for Arizona, where the involvement, it was high.
41:01The defensive packages accounted for a Dunzey and Burden and didn't account for Raymond to be able to have such a big role.
41:08Yeah, so it was it was impressive. And what what I love is I just like Caleb taking what's available.
41:15You're going to be a better quarterback. By the way, 72 percent completion percentage in week one.
41:20That's a good start. Never had a game like that last year.
41:24That was the struggle. Ten carries 65 rushing yards last week for Caleb Williams.
41:28Get ready for this week. I mean, Minnesota blitz on seventy four percent of plays last week, the highest in the NFL.
41:35Flores is a master. I mean, Minnesota won. They didn't seem like a team after losing Kyler two seconds into this game
41:42that were with the deficit they had against the Packers.
41:45They could win that game. And it was the defense that stepped up.
41:50Philadelphia want to know taking on the own one Tennessee Titans.
41:53Now what Philly minus seven on the road over under thirty nine and a half to me that's that line is actually respectful.
42:00It is indicative of Phillies offense not looking great.
42:03And in my opinion, this line would be bigger in a normal situation.
42:07Yeah, it's thirty nine and a half is a low score.
42:11Still a touchdown favorite on the road is you should take that.
42:15Did you watch Tennessee? No, I know. So respectful.
42:17That's so respectful of Tennessee. Tennessee deserves to be minus fourteen and a half based on what we've seen in week one and most of last year.
42:26They they scare the tarnation out of me and they need Cam Ward to take a step forward.
42:32I was really blown away when I tried to trade your my guy for a different my guy.
42:37Oh, call it call it. They call that a Dante Pettis.
42:41Yeah, no. So never had an in season trade before.
42:44That's true. No, I still believe in the in the talent of Carnell Tate.
42:49Price picks says his projection at six and a half targets.
42:52I mean that enough. Probably not from Cam Ward.
42:55Yeah, probably needs like twelve or thirteen targets from Cam Ward to catch eight of them.
43:00But I'm hopeful going forward. This is not a good matchup against the Eagles.
43:04I expect the Eagles defense to completely shut down the Titans offense.
43:08And if I can bench Carnell Tate for, you know, another, you know, wide receiver two option, I would.
43:14Carnell wait and see. Yeah, don't play him. I'm not playing any Titan.
43:18You can't make me do it. I was gonna say it and I'm sticking to it.
43:23You can't make me do it. If I was to start one, it would be Carnell Tate still.
43:29I think he has the ability to take any play to the house.
43:33The running backs is, you know, you thought the disgusting late round pick of Tony Pollard is like, well, at least he's a starter.
43:41He's a starter. He's a starter. He's a starter.
43:44He's a starter. He's got one player. Devontae Adams has more receiving touchdowns since the beginning of 2025 than him.
43:50Do you realize this? This is not. This is this is a long run here.
43:55I love. I love Goddard as one of the breakout guys this year.
43:59I mean, I know you've talked about Kincaid. There's some other guys that may have staying power.
44:04I think Goddard does. Duntavian Wicks spot start. Yeah, absolutely.
44:08They lay our wicks. Oh, between the two of them.
44:11I'm going to go Valey. Yeah, I'll get more targets and I could see this turning into a rushing game for the Eagles.
44:18Pat Bryant or Wicks? Wicks. OK, Wicks is numbers of like routes and snap count in snap count and everything like it's it's strong.
44:26It's you. The targets weren't there as much as you would like if you're a Duntavian Wicks truth or a player.
44:32But step one is he's out there. Yeah. Ninety four percent of route participants.
44:37He is there, too. So, yes, that has a lot of value.
44:41We'll take a break. We'll talk some more matches.
44:43Pittsburgh one or no New England. Oh, and one.
44:46Of course. Hmm. New England minus five and a half home opener for them over under is forty one and a half.
44:53Last year was twenty one fourteen in week three.
44:56Pittsburgh won that game. Goodness gracious. The defense. So the Patriots lost to the Raiders and Pittsburgh.
45:01Yeah. I mean, the defense is on the division.
45:04Yeah, they're good. I. Yeah, but I just it's weird.
45:08I like when in the hindsight of you like, well, that was the team that went to the Super Bowl for the AFC.
45:15That's gross. That's good. I. Yeah. Well. Oh, no.
45:18Oh, no. Andy's almost upset of the week. I.
45:21They almost lost to the Falcons. Yeah, I don't know, man.
45:24With Cooper. Look, I. The second I hit that button, the Falcon was nodding real quick.
45:29Are you on board with that one, Falcon? I dig it.
45:33Yeah, I mean, I. I don't like it. You don't like that the Falcons on board?
45:38I get it. I mean, I. I don't like that.
45:41I push that button. The over under is very low.
45:44OK, that's that's number one. It's a pretty big line.
45:47That's number two. You lose A.J. Brown. And from the moment that he went down, I didn't see cohesion in the offense.
45:54I didn't. I think there's a lot of pressure on Drake May this week.
45:59A lot. Yes, I would agree with that. And you're at home.
46:02Pittsburgh is hard nosed. They play tough. The defense is formidable in week one.
46:07I know it's just one week. I mean, they give up seven points to.
46:11I mean, that was Atlanta, right? It was Drake London did nothing.
46:15You know, I don't want to say. You know, you have T.J.
46:19Watt. He had the big defensive play. I just think it'll be a close game.
46:24They might not win it. That's why that button says almost in it.
46:28I get away with both. But look, this game is it's an interesting one to me.
46:33And Drake May right now is an interesting start decision for.
46:36Yeah, because you lose the oomph, right? You lose the big A.J.
46:40Brown upside situation. And you look at it now and it's like, my gosh, why did you get rid of Kayshawn Booty?
46:47That's what I'm looking at with with the Patriots.
46:50It's like Kayshawn Booty was your big play. It worked great with with McDaniels all the time.
46:55And instantaneously, you lose A.J. Brown and you ship this guy off for nothing.
47:00And you need somebody else to step up. And you're telling me, oh, it's got to be Romeo Dobbs and Matt Collins and Demario Douglas.
47:08If there was ever a time, Romeo, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?
47:12You were not there last year, last week. The utilization of Romeo Dobbs coming off of the contract was very head scratching
47:19of like, that feels like there's information that we don't have access to.
47:23Because you're like, how do you pay a guy that much money that you're playing in like half of the snaps?
47:30And I was there were there's some social media whispers of of Kyle Williams getting more play this week.
47:36Yeah, I don't. I think that's good. They need electricity.
47:39They need something that pops. Yeah, the question with Drake May.
47:42And not Pop Douglas because that's not electricity. No.
47:45The question with Drake May is like, who would you start over him?
47:49A couple of guys. Purdy, for sure. I would start Purdy.
47:53I would start Jackson Dart. I would start Jordan Love.
47:56I would start Jared Goff. Yes, absolutely. Those four guys, I would start over May.
48:01I've got May as my quarterback 12, so he's still in there.
48:05But. And don't hear us saying that Drake May sucks for the rest of the year.
48:10This is awesome. This is matchup. This is like low over under.
48:13After losing your top receiver and not seeing anything good last week.
48:17Just something to be cautious about. They do get Travion Henderson back.
48:21Travion's back. He was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
48:25So a Wednesday full participation means he's almost certainly playing this week, coming off of an ankle.
48:30I would expect that. I don't know if he'll have limited snaps based on coming off the injury or variables hatred for him.
48:37Either one. But they need him. They need some, like you just said, they need juice.
48:42They need electricity. They need explosiveness in this offense.
48:45If you had to play one wide receiver for the Patriots as a spot start, what's the name?
48:51Disgusting. It. Let's put them in the flex and you're allowed to say Hunter Henry too.
48:56It should be Romeo Dobbs. But how do you not go Mac Collins?
49:00That's, that's the craziest part. It should be Romeo Dobbs.
49:03Yeah. I think I go. I think it's, I think it's Mac.
49:07I think I go Mac as well. Farts. Drake may completed three of eight attempts beyond 10 yards in a week one.
49:14When we, when we, when we ascertain who the number one wide receiver start would be, and it's a Mac Collins with farts.
49:21I see you're almost upset. Okay. It's this offense does not look like they are primed right now.
49:27You're going to need a lot from Ramondre or you're going to need something special from Travion.
49:33They, they've got to do it in the running game, I think.
49:36And, and you know, that's tough last year, at least, uh, the Steelers were, uh, the second most difficult matchup for running backs.
49:44And yeah. And let me say in week one, Bijan beat the crap out of the Steelers with receiving.
49:50So we do generally see the running backs take over for absences in the secondary.
49:54So Ramondre, Travo might get targeted a lot. Uh, the one thing I'll say is that Rabel's team generally bounce back from defeat in a good way.
50:03So maybe they get it done. Are you starting Rico or Jalen Warren?
50:07I'd pass on both this week. I would try to as well.
50:11You know, the, uh, worth noting Rico had, uh, more snaps, but less utilization for Jalen Warren.
50:16That is such a confusing situation where I'm like, so who gets the work this year?
50:21And watching them, they were, they were both bad.
50:24Oh yeah. Like Warren was 10 for 46. Rico was terrible in the, in the second half, like Warren ripped off two decent runs.
50:32Uh, but the majority, you know, six targets for Jalen Warren, five for 27 versus two for six.
50:38But most of Warren's perception yards came on a trick play.
50:41Hmm. Green Bay's own one. They take on the New York jets who are want to know that is a sentence.
50:48I wasn't sure we'd say ever. Um, but there you have it.
50:52Vegas line green Bay on the road, three and a half point favorites over under 44 and a half.
50:58It's not a huge line. It's just not a huge line.
51:01It's not this. This game is outstanding because like I won't work for us.
51:05He will not be here. The jets, the jets could be two and Oh, I know.
51:11And which means the Packers are Oh, like this would be, let's not happen.
51:15I'm going to, I'm going to give some credit while we can.
51:19This was our policy putting on the Cardinals gear.
51:22I'm going to give credit to the jets in week one.
51:25I'm going to give credit to Gino Smith for completing 79% of his passes.
51:30That was old school Gino. I'm going to give credit to Frank Reich who had the fifth highest play action rate in
51:37week one and did some things that actually seemed smart.
51:40Get some motion, bro. Put some players in, in positions to succeed.
51:44He had a play where he had five tight ends on the field.
51:48Yeah. I mean, I'll give credit to their offensive line.
51:51Yeah. They give up. Absolutely. The time that Garrett Wilson had, or the Gino Smith had to throw the ball was outstanding
51:58compared to what this offensive line was last year.
52:01They put a lot of investment in it and there was a hope.
52:05You always have these teams that are like, ah, they had a bad offensive line.
52:10They tried to improve it. Hopefully it's a little better one week only.
52:14And you know, they were against the Titans, but the offensive line looked massively improved.
52:18Gino was what the most pressured, most sat quarterback last year in Las Vegas.
52:23That must've been a relief fading back to pass and having a chance.
52:27Play Brees Hall. He had a great week one.
52:30Garrett Wilson. Yes. Keep your eye on Kenyon Sadiq.
52:33And that's it. And that's it. On the other side, Christian Watson.
52:37What a week. I think you can play him and Matthew Golden unquestionably.
52:41You know, Golden led the team in routes and target share.
52:44Golden is such a good trade for target. I agree.
52:47I mean, you, you've got what we saw in week one was the hope and he did enough to where it's like,
52:54Hey, he did stuff with the ball in his hands.
52:58Last year, he was a halftime player. He played around 50% of the snaps in his rookie season.
53:0312 targets. And this year week one, 82% of the snaps.
53:07He led the receiving core in snaps. So, uh, bright days are ahead for Matthew Golden.
53:12What about for Marshawn Lloyd? Oh man. You hope that he shows something here, right?
53:17Like last week, very difficult matchup looked outrageously bad jumped around behind the line.
53:21Just looked indecisive, bad vision, nothing good. Like I didn't see anything from Chris Brooks or, uh, Lloyd to make me believe.
53:28However, they were going up against a really, really elite defense.
53:31And this week they get the jet. So I wouldn't be surprised if Marshawn Lloyd rips off, you know, two or three 20 yard runs and looks outstanding.
53:40So I think we just got to pump the brakes on the judgment from week one.
53:45I think you could still probably start Marshawn Lloyd because he's going to get carries in a decent matchup while they're favored.
53:5244% snaps compared to 55% for Chris Brooks last week.
53:56Uh, yes, but 13 carries compared to seven carries.
53:58So when Lloyd was on the field. It's out of minimum.
54:02Yeah, for sure. I'm not. I can get that, but the, the, the carries were for Marshawn Lloyd.
54:08The routes were Chris Brooks, I believe ran around.
54:10Huh? I don't think he ran around. Did he Chris Brooks?
54:14Oh, I guess he had 2% target share last week.
54:17Yeah, no, he ran some routes. One target. Just saying like it was, it was split.
54:22It's if you drafted Lloyd, that's not how you wanted the season to start.
54:27But I, I think it improves for him. The Cleveland Browns own one taking on the own one Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa
54:34Bay eight and a half point favorites over under is 41 and a half.
54:38Give me the bucks in the points here. Um, Jason went on a tirade flushing the whole Browns team down the drain yesterday.
54:45It was a dirty bowl. Um, yeah, I mean better in week three with Shadur.
54:50It's going to be Watson again. Do you start?
54:53And let's make this one quick and easy. There's no start a Brown.
54:57No. Okay. Baker Mayfield, probably not tempted to start him this week.
55:01I'm perfectly fine. You're fine with it. Yeah. Would you play golf or Baker golf?
55:06Uh, yeah, I wouldn't golf, but I'm just saying the Baker is still, uh, he still has high potential.
55:12It would Jacksonville beat the crap. Like Trevor Lawrence was awesome.
55:15They beat the crap out of the Browns. And if they get way up, it's cause Baker was a part of it.
55:22Bucky, a booka log out. Are you, are you just like benching and watching gain rolling Godwin?
55:28Um, it was more than the actual output for Godwin that concerned me.
55:32Yeah. He didn't look spry. Four for 40 last week on four targets, 86% of snaps, 6.3 fantasy points.
55:38To me, I'd rather watch and get a little more upside somewhere else, but maybe like I'd play Bailey over Godwin.
55:44Yeah. Wow. I agree. You must hate Godwin. I was just trying to give you a win here, Mike.
55:50Trying to give you one. Well, my win was I started Bailey last week and one, and it was awesome.
55:57Yeah. New Orleans. Oh, and one speaking of Bailey taking on the one and Oh, Baltimore Ravens, Baltimore minus eight and a half.
56:04So, you know, you have a situation here. Same line.
56:07These two games. Really? I, this one, I saw it this morning and I was eight and a half.
56:13I saw it this morning and I was like, wow, that is, um, respect what they did in week one.
56:20Oh, jeez. That's crazy. Eight and a half over a touchdown.
56:23They, they just wasn't whooping by Baltimore in week one.
56:26And the saints, the saints had a nice comeback.
56:29It looked real bad for a while. I, I do think it's a pretty big one.
56:34It looked, they did have to have a comeback, but I mean, number one, like Shuck was like, I just horrifically bad,
56:41uh, for the, for the beginning of the first half completed 46% of his passes, 85 passing yards.
56:47But like that game was very tight for a long time.
56:50Seven nothing, 14 nothing. Like the saints defense for, they were holding as long as they could, uh, before, before the line started to put up points.
56:59And then it's, I don't know, eight and a half.
57:02It's a tough environment to go to Baltimore and play this team.
57:06I think for Tyler Shuck, there are certain situations I think that are maybe more conducive for him, but an outdoor game
57:13in Baltimore, I guess that's the viewpoint. I don't know.
57:16Uh, the overrunners 46 and a half that puts Baltimore at the fourth highest implied point total of the week.
57:22It was an exciting week one for both of these teams and the players there in, I mean, a lobby and Bailey were great.
57:30Shuck ended up great. The only the main situation I think of kind of some concern was that the Travis H and jr.
57:37You know, week one had a lot of opportunities.
57:40It didn't turn into a ton of fantasy points, but you know, kind of similar to maybe H and the real H
57:47ands week like a junior and H and we're very similar in like a lot of opportunities, but not a lot of production.
57:55Yeah. But the, it was only nine carries, but nine targets is that's his floors.
57:59Okay. And there'll be bigger ceiling games. I'm not saying I'm a, I'm not a huge Travis H and jr.
58:06Some fan or supporter, but when you're that utilized, things will improve.
58:09How worried are you about Zay flowers? He did not practice on Wednesday.
58:14He did not practice today. Uh, I have felt like this at all.
58:18Non-participation, non-participation. We're seeing that come through. I had figured he'll sit at least a week.
58:23Okay. Thankfully it's not a longterm thing, but I would expect him to be out.
58:28So Andrew started the week. That's part of the, the why there.
58:31I mean, Mike and I started the week at tight end are exactly the same.
58:36Yeah. Nico and Zay flowers questionable to play opportunity.
58:39Exactly. Derek Henry, please do Lamar Jackson. Uh huh.
58:42Rashad Bateman. If you're in a pinch, eight and a half point home favorite.
58:46I mean, he's going to catch the ball. The wild thing about Zay flowers being out is you should be able to just say that.
58:54Yeah. Yeah. But I have, I have no idea.
58:57I don't know if it, if I don't know if it's going to be like Devontez Walker plays heavily in this game and get some targets.
59:05If the Elijah Surratt has felt buried. How is this an eight and a half point line?
59:11Derek Henry. Yep. Yeah. And Lamar. Yeah. I mean, just the, the, it's wild.
59:15Rashad Bateman played so many snaps last week. So many snaps.
59:19And I believe he had a target. Let me confirm.
59:22Yeah. One target, no receptions. Played 78% snaps. He should be okay this week.
59:26He really should. I think he probably will be 27 and a half point implied point total.
59:32And you've got Mark Andrews running around. You've got no Jalen Lane anymore.
59:36I would love, I would have loved to be able to come in here and say Jalen Lane breakout week after flowers
59:43misses, but I think Bateman will be fine. I really do.
59:46That's what stinks is like, what did I say?
59:49Jalen Jacoby Lane. Sorry. It was like Rashad Bateman.
59:52He's got to be up on the Mount Rushmore's of like, it should work.
59:56Cardio King. Yes. I would never trust it. I would never.
60:00I agree with Andy's analysis of it should work for my teams.
60:04I'm not doing it. If you give me 97% of snaps with Lamar and two guys missing, I think you're going to be fine.
60:11I really do. Oh. I totally. I will be the guy attaching my name to Rashad Bateman.
60:17I totally think you should be. Right. Yeah. But Jay, are you going to start?
60:21No. No, I would not start. I'm not either.
60:24You know, there was more snaps than he's played in any game last year.
60:29Bateman? Yeah. I just looked at it. And no catches.
60:32No, but I mean, you got to trust some of those underlying, the opportunities matter.
60:37Yeah. I don't know. Rashad Bateman. I don't know.
60:40He keeps doing it to us. Man. I just feel like this line is, is mind blowing to me.
60:46I, the saints, they've got to stop Derrick Henry.
60:48Good luck. He faced, Derrick Henry faced a stack box on 50% of his carries last week and ran for one 44
60:55and at six, a carry 50, 50% of the rush.
60:59It's dang. But I mean, it's that Declan Doyle's doing good work.
61:02You got, you got stack boxes against Henry that low.
61:06I mean, I feel like 50% is a lot.
61:08No, no, I don't think so. I can't imagine historically.
61:12That's what he 50% is very, very high. Okay.
61:14Yeah. Um, Tyler shock. You probably not messing around this week or are you playing him?
61:20I'm very curious about this. The, the Ravens. I mean, last week they obviously dominated against the Colts, but we're, I'm not
61:27sure how much of that was the Colts or not.
61:30I probably won't be playing shock, but I'm very excited to see how, how he fares in this matchup.
61:36I do think Olave is a must play and Bailey is one of those, you know, break a glass in case of emergency.
61:43I would play Bailey over Rashad Bateman, personally. Bailey or Caleb Douglas.
61:47I play Bailey. Uh, I'd play Bailey. Bailey, Bailey, uh, Cincinnati one or no Houston.
61:52Oh, and one Vegas line, Houston minus two and a half over unders 46 and a half.
61:57Two guys that dominated the news and notes today, the burrow back injury, the Nico Collins injury, which we did have an update.
62:04He's not practicing on Thursday and it was a diagnosed as a grade one hamstring injury, which is, it could be worse.
62:11There's worse grades. Yeah. I mean like it can spell a few words.
62:15I get it. Thank you. Swish. What? Sorry. No, I'm sorry.
62:19That's just the sound that came out. Yeah. It was natural.
62:22Okay. We didn't try to. Yeah. Like I feel like we got to get like our billboard back up on the back
62:29screen real quick or something to fix that situation.
62:32I need a shower. I retract Chloe. I retract my joke.
62:36That's not what got us on that billboard, Mike.
62:39No, no, no. I'm just saying that joke wasn't, or maybe it was.
62:43All right. Burrow, Brown, Chase and Higgins. Start them all if they're active.
62:47Absolutely. And just understand that. I think week one was a little bit of an anomaly for this Texans defense.
62:53So I would say that I won't be surprised if there's a bit of a tempered output from these guys again.
63:00It's in Houston. And that defense is very good and not as bad as it looked in week one where Josh Allen managed to carve them up.
63:08Yeah. So can Burrow with a hurt back carve up the Houston defense?
63:13I don't know. That's the question to me is, is Burrow's health matters a lot for this game because this is a tough defense.
63:20I mean, we went into last week talking about you're going to start Josh Allen because he's Josh Allen.
63:26But reminder, the last time Josh Allen played against this team last year, he was terrible.
63:31I don't remember if he even scored 10 fantasy points.
63:34It was hard sledding against this defense. Now, obviously goes in there with, you know, the new scheme and a healthy Don Cade and DJ Moore and dominated.
63:43But if Joe Burrow is hurt, that version of him, I don't know if you can carve up the Texans.
63:50That is just saying it might be a little slow for week two.
63:54I would try to find a different option than Burrow.
63:57I would definitely try to find it because you could get knocked out of the game.
64:02You could have a reduced performance. You didn't love what you saw in week one regardless.
64:07I have Burrow outside my top 12, which feels weird.
64:10It feels so weird. Yeah. Let me see where I have him because I mean, Purdy, I would much rather play.
64:17Yeah. All those names we said we would play over Drake May.
64:21I would play over Joe Burrow. I think the biggest, not that people have the question.
64:26I'm not there where you guys are. He's still a QB eight for me.
64:30Okay. Yeah. Like Purdy is higher in my ranking.
64:33So I have that one. I have him at nine.
64:36Would you play Burrow or Herbert against Las Vegas?
64:39Cause that matchup is juicy. Potentially. I'd play Burrow.
64:42We talked about Dalton Schultz already in this game.
64:45He started the week for Mike. We, we talked about the wide receiver pivots.
64:49I mean, it could be Kayshawn Booty. It could be Dalton Schultz.
64:53It could be Xavier Hutchinson. It could be Jalen Noel.
64:56Jalen Noel is a, I think Jalen Noel is in a, like a good weekend stash type of a player.
65:03Monty three touchdowns last week. Can he repeat the, uh, no, he can't the madness.
65:07And then Woody marks 50% of snaps and was very efficient on his touches.
65:12It wasn't like Monty took the headlines. He got the touchdowns, but just giving, you know, four point.
65:18Um, what was he last week for Woody marks?
65:20He was nine for 42, 4.7, a carry one target.
65:24It will be a committee situation. Yeah. It reminds me like situationally.
65:27It's like, it's very close to what happened in Jacksonville last week where it was like, okay, the snaps were really split.
65:34Tootin got the work, but it was like, yeah, what he was 51%.
65:38And they both were. And it's like Tootin was good on his, his opportunities.
65:43He just didn't score any touchdowns where, so David Montgomery with a multitude of touchdowns is this, and this is not an, in a anti Montgomery.
65:51It's just a, he won't be what he was in week one.
65:55I don't think. Do you care about Mike? Is sick.
65:58He's five for 78 in week one. I mean, I looked at the, he is the wildest player box score last year, man.
66:05He played all the time and he just, he only had one good game last year.
66:11He, and he was barely on the field. Yeah.
66:13He just was. Which is exactly what he was last year, by the way.
66:18His snap count percentage last year was 38%. Week one, it was 33%.
66:22I, I would not chase that. I wouldn't chase it right.
66:25He just, he is the guy though. Fluke. When, when Jamar and T Higgins, like when one of them misses, you're like, oh, Mike is sick.
66:34He's going to see some targets. And apparently last week it was when those two guys are deleted from.
66:40They're strapped. They, yeah. They're seat belted out there.
66:43Then Mike is sick. He's just going to eat.
66:45It's weird. Anything else from this game, Jason, you want to touch on?
66:50Are we good? Not really. I'm just hopeful that Joe Burrow is healthy enough to take this fantasy star team and, and
66:57not just disappoint drastically this week against the Texans.
66:59Yeah. I'm skeptical. At least they have Flacco. They do.
