Transcript
- 0:20SPEAKER_03: Yo, what is going on, guys?
- 0:22SPEAKER_03: We are cutting it close, but we're back with week four of the fantasy football season.
- 0:28SPEAKER_03: Boy, does it feel good to be here?
- 0:30SPEAKER_03: We got a phenomenal episode laid out for you guys where we're going over the panic meter on who you should be worried about and who is going to be coasting throughout the season.
- 0:40SPEAKER_03: But of course, I am now alongside Tip and Nico.
- 0:44SPEAKER_03: And boys, let me know how you're doing.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: I mean, how are you doing, bro?
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: Check on you.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: I mean, the hair, the hair is growing, first of all.
- 0:53SPEAKER_01: Damn, more than mine.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: It it is, bro.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: It's like a ch chia.
- 0:59SPEAKER_01: Bro, like this is up.
- 1:01SPEAKER_03: I've always had like hair that grows a little bit faster than I think uh typically would be.
- 1:07SPEAKER_03: So I've been always been fortunate about that.
- 1:09SPEAKER_03: Um, but um, I mean, it's growing like the Raiders' hopes for making playoffs.
- 1:15SPEAKER_03: You know, that's how I'm gonna compare it to.
- 1:16SPEAKER_03: You know, I I spent a lot of the offseason talking, uh, a lot of smack towards the Raiders, and uh I'm not ready to eat my words.
- 1:25SPEAKER_03: Let me tell you, I'm not ready to eat my words.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: Tips over here on top of the world, man.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: Oh, you got a big one this week, though, against the Chiefs.
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: You got a big one this week against the Chiefs.
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: How you feeling about that?
- 1:39SPEAKER_01: Big game, dude.
- 1:40SPEAKER_01: Like, I mean, across the board, not only for us, but for the Chiefs, too.
- 1:45SPEAKER_01: And this is gonna be a really, really, really good matchup.
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: Every matchup so far that Clint Kubiak has um been in with these coaches, particularly last week, has been a you know, good matchup for him, and he's brought it.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: And I continue, I think he's gonna bring it again.
- 2:01SPEAKER_01: The only the only concern that I really, really, really have is how good Kenneth Walker is playing right now.
- 2:07SPEAKER_01: They can control the clock with him, they don't really have to do much.
- 2:10SPEAKER_01: Uh, the way that Eric Bandamy is using him and utilizing him, not only in the run game, but in the past game too.
- 2:17SPEAKER_01: It's it's really cool to see um from a fantasy aspect.
- 2:21SPEAKER_01: But man, put a hat on him, N'Cobe Dean, Quay Walker, put a hat on him, please.
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: Please, we gotta we gotta stop this kid because that's the only way I feel like we can win.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: Your Raiders are looking good.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, my Vikings, although we're three and oh, it's not looking so you did all that just to talk about your Vikings.
- 2:39SPEAKER_01: Come on, man, let me have my moment of sunshine.
- 2:43SPEAKER_00: We're talking about two three and oh teams here, baby.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that is fair.
- 2:48SPEAKER_03: I mean, you have to think about it.
- 2:49SPEAKER_03: The Vikings, I'm not gonna say I expected it, I felt like they would be a pretty decent team, specifically with that defense.
- 2:58SPEAKER_03: But uh, I mean, the offense, I'm still not convinced with them.
- 3:02SPEAKER_03: Kyler Murray, you know, we spent a lot of offseason debating about Kyler Murray.
- 3:06SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna say I'm right, but I feel like I'm still right.
- 3:10SPEAKER_00: I'll let you victory lap after one game.
- 3:14SPEAKER_03: Okay, all right.
- 3:15SPEAKER_03: That's fair enough.
- 3:15SPEAKER_03: Fair enough.
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: I mean, uh, you watch the games a lot more than I, of course, you watch the Vikings games a lot more than I do.
- 3:21SPEAKER_03: I saw a lot of Kyler Murray just because of divisional matchups.
- 3:24SPEAKER_03: Kelly is in the background, of course.
- 3:26SPEAKER_03: You know, he watched all of all of Kyler Murray's games.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: She sorry, watched all of Kyler Murray's games.
- 3:31SPEAKER_03: So, of course, she would have the best insight on how the boy did.
- 3:34SPEAKER_03: But of course, you know what?
- 3:36SPEAKER_03: We have Jaso in the chat, of course, saying, What's up, dude?
- 3:39SPEAKER_03: How you doing, man?
- 3:39SPEAKER_03: But what about Kelsey?
- 3:40SPEAKER_03: You can't leave the old man out.
- 3:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, one of us called him, right?
- 3:46SPEAKER_03: I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna say names, but one of us called him, you know.
- 3:52SPEAKER_01: And it again, Nacobe Dean, uh, Claywalker, they their assignments are going to be stopping it, and it's a tough assignment, it's a tough task when you have to stop an elite running back and an elite tight end.
- 4:04SPEAKER_01: And that's one of the reasons why I feel like the Raiders got an elite running back and elite tight end.
- 4:08SPEAKER_01: Um, it's hard to stop that.
- 4:11SPEAKER_01: And Travis Kelsey, what he's done and what he is doing right now, he turning, he's turning back the clock, man.
- 4:20SPEAKER_01: And you know, I don't know, maybe, maybe, maybe Travis Swift, maybe he got some little Swift juice.
- 4:24SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 4:25SPEAKER_01: I don't know what is going on with him, but he's looking really good, and they're gonna have to definitely keep tabs on him.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they had a tough time with Jawan Johnson and Noah Fant uh last week for the Saints.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: Um, both of them had over 16 fantasy points in half PPR leagues.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: Uh, so it's definitely skewed the numbers a little bit.
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: The Raiders have allowed the third most points to the tight end position.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Um, so obviously you're confidently start firing up Kelsey in a big game like this.
- 4:51SPEAKER_00: Um, but at the same time, it it is very skewed because of how big of a week Johnson and Fant had.
- 5:00SPEAKER_03: I mean, tight ends are always going to be a little tricky.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: Now, when there isn't a big wealth of tight ends to go for, then I mean, I feel like you kind of have to go with the hot hand.
- 5:10SPEAKER_03: We didn't even mention Darren Waller yet, with what did he have?
- 5:12SPEAKER_03: About eight targets last week, and somehow he always finds a way to pop up on the fantasy list of somebody we should be looking towards.
- 5:20SPEAKER_03: Now, of course, I mean, oh, speaking of segues and of course, people we should be worried about, um, we've got to start talking about some panic meters and players that we are worried about, or maybe not even worried about the Had Summer Off Week.
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: So, you know what?
- 5:35SPEAKER_03: We got just gotta hit right up, hop right into it.
- 5:39SPEAKER_01: The panic meter.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 5:54SPEAKER_03: You gave me the idea for like a submarine going in, and I was like, okay, let me see if I can work with that for like a panic meter.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: The only thing I felt like I was missing that I couldn't fit in in the in the thing, in the of course the drop and the transition was like a panic button.
- 6:08SPEAKER_03: And I felt like it just didn't fit into the thing where and then because like they go into the ocean.
- 6:13SPEAKER_03: So how do you hit a little button?
- 6:14SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, and the two sharks, the two sharks were there, they're chilling looking like you know, yeah, moving around for it.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: Like that maybe there was some dolphin in there, some dolphin chum or something.
- 6:25SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's why, maybe that's why the the sharks are ready to eat.
- 6:28SPEAKER_03: I mean, let me tell you though, these players that we're gonna be discussing, uh, they should definitely be panic jump, or in this case, a meatball sub, as some of them have called it, specifically with Justin Herbert.
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: I mean, some people, you know what?
- 6:42SPEAKER_03: When you go to a sandwich shop, you ask for a meatball sub.
- 6:46SPEAKER_03: Sometimes, like in Justin Herbert's case or even Drake May's case right now, you're just gonna ask for a sub without the insides, and that's just buns because that's how they're playing right now.
- 6:57SPEAKER_03: Um, Drake May.
- 6:59SPEAKER_03: I mean, but speaking of guys, I'll let you guys go first on that one specifically.
- 7:03SPEAKER_03: Tip, give me a player.
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: What's your panic meter on?
- 7:08SPEAKER_03: How you feeling on it, man?
- 7:10SPEAKER_01: Amecca Buka, man.
- 7:12SPEAKER_01: What happened to you, brother?
- 7:13SPEAKER_01: Like, I feel like I feel like I I you remember Jimmy Fallon when he would do those those those um those stories, and he or you know, I miss you or whatever.
- 7:23SPEAKER_01: I miss Emecca Abuka, and I know he's gonna miss uh Baker Mayfield.
- 7:29SPEAKER_01: And I look, I I saw the interview or the press conference that Jalen Jay Lon Daniels, not Jaden.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: Make sure you look at your waiver wire too.
- 7:38SPEAKER_01: Like there's people we were making the joke about it yesterday, talking about the people are gonna see Jay Daniels and be like, just oh, he's on the waiver and not even pay attention to the team because of the name.
- 7:49SPEAKER_01: But anyway, like I saw what he had to say, and it was cool, like he's excited, he looks like he's ready, but I just think they're gonna run the hell out of the ball this week.
- 7:58SPEAKER_01: I don't think that they're going to really just unleash him like that.
- 8:02SPEAKER_01: They're going against the Packers.
- 8:03SPEAKER_01: The Packers they didn't show us much last week anyway.
- 8:07SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, Ameca Buka, man, going forward until we at least can get Baker back.
- 8:12SPEAKER_01: I'm very much on the panic meter with this guy.
- 8:16SPEAKER_03: I mean, I fully agree.
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: Uh, I remember we had some off-season debates about how strongly we feel about him.
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: And with Baker going out, like you mentioned, it might raise that panic meter just a tad.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: Nico, how about yourself?
- 8:30SPEAKER_03: I know you have a nice, interesting player for us.
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree with uh tip on Mecca Buka.
- 8:36SPEAKER_00: It's it's definitely gonna be tough with uh J-Lon Daniels.
- 8:39SPEAKER_00: And that actually, when you mentioned that, saying seeing the Jay Daniels on the waiver wire, that reminded me of a story I wanted to tell you guys uh a few weeks ago.
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: I did an auction draft, and jokingly, one of my buddies put B Robinson up for the 101 in the auction, and someone immediately like pumped it up to like$40, and it was the Brian Robinson, not the Bijan, and they literally started the draft over because they were like, This is ridiculous.
- 9:09SPEAKER_00: I listen, it's it's a home league, it's like a$20-30 league.
- 9:13SPEAKER_00: Like, I was kind of like, whatever.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: If it was like you know, one of my bigger leagues, I'd be like, You gotta lock in a little bit, but no, I just thought that was funny, so make sure, uh, make sure you're paying attention.
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: But um, my panic meter guy is Omarian Hampton, guys.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: And Hampton was being drafted right alongside guys like Kenneth Walker, Chase Brown, Saquon Barkley, Derek Henry, as kind of that workhorse running back with receiving upsides, similar to what we saw from Devon A chain uh in Miami under McDaniel.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: And here we are, three weeks into the season.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Uh Hampton has a 53.7 percent snap rate, 30.4 total fantasy points, and he's currently the RB22.
- 9:55SPEAKER_00: Now, more importantly, he only has three targets, he is not involved in the receiving game at all.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: We saw his snap share drop to 42 last week.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: Um 42 percent.
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: He already has two fumbles, he's averaging 3.86 yards per carry.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: He's eight uh only has an 8.9 explosive run rate, uh, which is 25th in the NFL.
- 10:18SPEAKER_00: I mean, this guy, Tip mentioned it last week.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: Uh he's a jag, he's just a guy, and you know, all the data points that you know I was suggesting is showing that Tip was right.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: This guy is just a guy, as the kids would say, he's been mid.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: I'm panicked because if you drafted Hampton, you passed on other elite running backs.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: Um, and this offense is not taking off the way it's supposed to.
- 10:43SPEAKER_00: So the player that I'm panicking on the most so far through three weeks is Amarian Hampton.
- 10:50SPEAKER_03: Man, that's such a tough one to see because I was so high on him going into the year.
- 10:55SPEAKER_03: I was so high on this offense going into the year, and man, me.
- 10:59SPEAKER_03: I I it's hard to get turned into a meme and a meatball sub by Tom Brady saying that.
- 11:04SPEAKER_03: That hurts.
- 11:05SPEAKER_03: That's like a level of disrespect that I personally I couldn't handle something like that.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Well, you weren't the only person super high on this offense, it was it was definitely it was me too, yeah.
- 11:16SPEAKER_01: I I yeah, I I even came on here talking about you know him changing his footwall footwork, Justin Herbert to get the ball out of out of uh out of his hands quicker and to get the ball out quicker for the offensive line.
- 11:26SPEAKER_01: And I mean, it was a lot of really cool things that could have happened, but I'm so happy that it's happening to the chargers.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: I'm just chargers gonna charger, man.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Charge.
- 11:37SPEAKER_01: Hey, look, you know what, man, it and and and the icing on the cake, of course, is us being three and oh, but hey, there you go, right there.
- 11:44SPEAKER_03: I mean, my guy now.
- 11:47SPEAKER_03: My guy, you know, pretty straightforward on this one.
- 11:49SPEAKER_03: I feel like Travion Henderson is somebody that I'm pretty panicked on.
- 11:52SPEAKER_03: I mean, he of course missing meek one, he had a solid week two outing, but week three, you're starting to notice the trend that a lot of us discuss going into the season.
- 12:02SPEAKER_03: You know, Ramondre Stevenson outsnapped him 32 to 21.
- 12:06SPEAKER_03: And more importantly, it's the passing work and the targets.
- 12:09SPEAKER_03: Stevenson's leading three to one in targets when it comes to passing downs and work.
- 12:14SPEAKER_03: It makes it so there is so little upside with Trevion Henderson unless he's able to break a long run like he did week two.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: Realistically, there isn't so much rushing value that you're going to be able to hang your hat on for somebody like Trevion Henderson, specifically the way the offense is playing right now.
- 12:31SPEAKER_03: Drake May has taken a significant regression compared to what we saw last year.
- 12:36SPEAKER_03: Now, we could say it could be schedule, it could be AJ Brown, and he didn't have AJ Brown last year, but of course, it's such a disappointment start to the season compared to what we anticipated, and that sophomore slump, it's looking real.
- 12:50SPEAKER_03: And more importantly, that Super Bowl hangover is looking severe in this case.
- 13:01SPEAKER_00: I yeah, I'm with you.
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: I wasn't super high on Henderson coming into the year, but you view this guy as like a pass catching back, and he's not been the pass catching back that you want him to be.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Um, he's not forcing miss tackles, he's in the ninth percentile and miss uh tackles force per attempt, uh yards after contact per attempt.
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: He's in the second percentile.
- 13:23SPEAKER_00: Like you think of this guy as super explosive, he's just not breaking any tackles, he's not making many explosive plays.
- 13:29SPEAKER_00: Yes, he had the 60 snap share in week two, but we saw that, like Natter said, we saw it dip to 37 uh in week three when we thought he would take over the reigns um after how successful he was in week two after the after that Ramondre fumble.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: So I'm definitely pretty panicked.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: I like that one matter.
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: Yes, it's pretty straightforward on that.
- 13:50SPEAKER_03: And Tim, do you have any closing thoughts before we move on to the rapid fire round?
- 13:54SPEAKER_01: No, man.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: I mean, we we've got some more to panic about.
- 13:58SPEAKER_01: There we go.
- 13:59SPEAKER_03: So, all right, so this one scale to one to ten.
- 14:01SPEAKER_03: One obviously not being worried at all, and ten being hey, you know what?
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: Just drop him at this point.
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: He's done, he's he's he's cooked, he's he's a meatball sandwich.
- 14:13SPEAKER_01: Oh, we got panic.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: Oh, we got the panic beer now.
- 14:15SPEAKER_01: There it is.
- 14:16SPEAKER_03: I know that there's that panic button that I missed in the transitional video.
- 14:20SPEAKER_03: Now, to be fair, I felt like I worked kind of hard on that one.
- 14:23SPEAKER_03: Anyway, that was good.
- 14:24SPEAKER_01: No, it was good, Matter.
- 14:25SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no.
- 14:26SPEAKER_01: It was funny, it was hilarious, but it was it was good.
- 14:30SPEAKER_01: It was bro, I felt like 007, bro.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: Like I did.
- 14:33SPEAKER_01: I felt like I was going into the to the shark tank.
- 14:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: Thank you, thank you.
- 14:38SPEAKER_03: So we're gonna start off with the guy I told everybody to sit last week, Jameson Williams.
- 14:43SPEAKER_03: We'll go around in a horn, so I guess tip is up.
- 14:46SPEAKER_03: First, one to ten.
- 14:47SPEAKER_03: Where are you at?
- 14:48SPEAKER_01: If it's this week, uh I'm I'm about a I'm about uh four or five, just because the rest of the year was oh, rest of the year.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: So I'm um yeah, yeah.
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: This is rest of year.
- 15:02SPEAKER_01: I'm about an eight for the rest of the year, yeah.
- 15:04SPEAKER_01: Eight for the rest of the year, it's pretty high.
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's pretty high.
- 15:06SPEAKER_01: I agree.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm pretty nervous.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go with six.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, it's a J-mo experience, man.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: You drafted them to be this type of a roller coaster, so you kind of had to know what you were getting.
- 15:18SPEAKER_00: So I'm not super surprised.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: And when everyone's out, is probably when he's gonna pop.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: So I'll go six.
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: So uh actually, you know what?
- 15:26SPEAKER_03: Uh I'll add an extra layer on it.
- 15:28SPEAKER_03: Is this somebody you would buy low on?
- 15:31SPEAKER_00: No, I think so.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: Um, I I would, I guess.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: Tip, you said no.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: What's your reasoning for no?
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, unless it's just you know, uh best ball league, and I'm you know, and and there's trades available.
- 15:43SPEAKER_01: That's the only reason.
- 15:44SPEAKER_01: Like, I'm not trying to have that headache on my team and try to guess each week.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: Uh is this gonna be a J MO week?
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: This week is probably gonna be a J probably gonna be an everybody week from the Detroit Lions.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: So um, do you see both of the corner starting cornerbacks?
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh that uh cornerbacks for the Panthers are gonna be out Sunday night.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: Oh they're they're out for they're on IR.
- 16:05SPEAKER_00: Oh, I didn't even see like IR, I just saw out yes, uh both on IR.
- 16:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, I'm not really a Jamison guy, he was definitely on it my fade list, if you will, at ADP, but he does lead all wide receivers in the gap between expected and actual fantasy points per game.
- 16:25SPEAKER_00: So his expected is 11.68, and his actual is 5.9, and that's actually number one in the NFL, which I do feel like presents a buy-low window.
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: It's just obviously what might you be getting in return?
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: Um, it obviously has to be something that you know maybe is lower than where he was going in drafts.
- 16:44SPEAKER_00: I would view him as a buy low, but he's not someone I'm like aggressively going after.
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm going nine.
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: Nine, don't want to buy low.
- 16:54SPEAKER_03: It's just it's just kind of the way I want to construct the team personally.
- 16:57SPEAKER_03: I don't want that type of volatility, I just want higher floors, safer players.
- 17:03SPEAKER_03: Give me 130 fantasy points, full point, full point PPR.
- 17:07SPEAKER_03: And I feel like a majority of the times I'll come out on top.
- 17:10SPEAKER_03: I don't need to go for the 160s, the 170s, the 180s.
- 17:13SPEAKER_03: And realistically, with somebody like Jameson Williams, he's not going to catch two passes for uh, you know, each of them being 40 yards and two touchdowns.
- 17:21SPEAKER_03: Like his boom game is is 80 yards a touchdown.
- 17:25SPEAKER_03: And realistically, even if he has that, that's what 15 fantasy points.
- 17:29SPEAKER_03: It's like, okay, is that really a boom?
- 17:31SPEAKER_03: No, you draft him in the fourth round.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: Uh Devontae Smith averages that on a bad game.
- 17:36SPEAKER_03: So that's like how I see it on that course.
- 17:39SPEAKER_03: Now, let's give us another one because of course I I get to kind of say it would be a rapid fire, and we're not necessarily rapid firing, but I also did want to mention, yeah, there we go.
- 17:48SPEAKER_03: There we are.
- 17:48SPEAKER_03: Now, I did also want to mention that, of course, next week we are going to be talking a lot of trade talks, comparisons, buy lows, sell highs, and what type of value you're going to be looking for when going after those type of players.
- 18:01SPEAKER_03: So I kind of wanted to tease that a little bit.
- 18:03SPEAKER_03: Now, of course, I also want to remind everybody that we are live on YouTube right next to us.
- 18:08SPEAKER_03: You're going to see the links to where you can find everybody on our podcasting platform, whether that is X, YouTube, Spotify, all that good stuff.
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: Make sure you like the video.
- 18:19SPEAKER_03: Of course, comment down below on what specifically you want to see next.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: And remember, we are live at 9 p.m.
- 18:25SPEAKER_03: Eastern Central Time, 6 p.m.
- 18:28SPEAKER_03: Pacific, with the live chat going on on X and YouTube to make sure that you guys can join in on the conversation like everybody has so far.
- 18:36SPEAKER_03: And of course, if you have questions, starts and sits related trade related, you can ask it live and get a reaction.
- 18:43SPEAKER_03: ASAP to be able to be able to make the proper decision at the proper moment.
- 18:49SPEAKER_03: Now, of course, Justin Herbert.
- 18:52SPEAKER_03: Tip, how you feeling?
- 18:53SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you saw Nico had the thumbs down, so it had to be a charger.
- 18:57SPEAKER_01: We talked about next.
- 18:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm I'm like this is like nuclear, uh, like a like uh uh what's the highest number I can think of right now off the top of my head.
- 19:07SPEAKER_01: Uh 200,643.
- 19:11SPEAKER_01: Uh like yeah, this I'm like way, this is off the charts.
- 19:15SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm trying to drop this kid.
- 19:17SPEAKER_01: I'm trying to, I don't, I don't want him on my team.
- 19:20SPEAKER_01: I am totally panicked.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I got him at a seven.
- 19:25SPEAKER_00: Um I think you can drop him in one quarterback leagues for sure.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: Uh super flex, I think you're probably still holding on.
- 19:34SPEAKER_00: Um, I do have some belief it's gonna turn around, but yeah, it's definitely fairly high.
- 19:39SPEAKER_00: I mean, a seven is like, hey, dude, you're down to like your last game or two to get right.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: He said it last week was their best practice week of the and and they turn out that.
- 19:50SPEAKER_03: Nah.
- 19:51SPEAKER_03: That was so bad.
- 19:57SPEAKER_01: The crowd liked it.
- 20:00SPEAKER_03: Trade is so hypothetical.
- 20:02SPEAKER_03: Like, he's not even a buy-low candidate.
- 20:04SPEAKER_03: Like, there's too many quarterbacks out in the waiver wire.
- 20:08SPEAKER_03: I saw Tyler Chuck get picked up this week.
- 20:10SPEAKER_03: I saw Jared Goff picked up this week.
- 20:12SPEAKER_03: These are all type of players that I would go after in no hesitation of.
- 20:16SPEAKER_03: Or actually, honestly, I don't even feel like Herbert's startable or even rosterable, unless it's a two QB league at this point.
- 20:24SPEAKER_03: I I just don't, I just it's too much, too many core, too many good quarterbacks out there for you to sit there and think to yourself, oh yeah, Justin Herbert, this might be the week.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: Like it's a short season, we're about to go into the quarter century mark, move on from him.
- 20:38SPEAKER_03: Now, uh next on our list, I'm a little sad to say it, but Quinshawn Judgment.
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 20:44SPEAKER_01: I I'm I'm about a six on this one.
- 20:47SPEAKER_01: I think it's I think he's gonna get back to it.
- 20:49SPEAKER_01: Um, it's just gonna take a little bit of time.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: This offense has to start clicking, and it will two and one browns, by the way.
- 20:56SPEAKER_03: Nico, yeah, yeah.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: I have him at a five.
- 20:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, the running back market is extremely scarce, so you're not really obviously dropping Judkins.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: Are you disappointed so far in his performance?
- 21:07SPEAKER_00: Yes, but you know, he's still getting 15 to 20 carries a game.
- 21:11SPEAKER_00: That's useful in fantasy football at the running back position.
- 21:16SPEAKER_03: I mean, yeah, if you really think about it, his ADP was what, like the sixth round, seventh round?
- 21:21SPEAKER_00: I don't remember off the top of my head, but fifth, late fourth or fifth.
- 21:25SPEAKER_03: I mean, for an RB, I mean he was going in the late fifth because it was you know, touchdown, productivity issues, stuff like that.
- 21:32SPEAKER_03: So he he's kind of like in the realm of what we expected out of him.
- 21:36SPEAKER_03: You know, we were hoping for better, of course, but this is kind of what we expected.
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I agree.
- 21:41SPEAKER_03: He's about a four to five on the on the uh panic meter.
- 21:45SPEAKER_03: Definitely somebody I would try to snatch on the trade market.
- 21:48SPEAKER_03: Now, Malik Neighbors, he was gonna be my my panic decision, but of course we shifted him onto this one.
- 21:53SPEAKER_03: Tip, how do you feel?
- 21:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think it's getting better.
- 21:57SPEAKER_01: Uh, for him, my panic meter is around.
- 22:00SPEAKER_01: sitting at around a five, I'm giving him happy because we knew it was going to be a ramp up period and this is where we're in.
- 22:06SPEAKER_01: It just sucks that he doesn't have a quarterback now.
- 22:10SPEAKER_01: So that's the that's the issue.
- 22:12SPEAKER_01: But as far as him, I I think five five and a half is good.
- 22:19SPEAKER_03: Fair, fair.
- 22:20SPEAKER_03: Nico?
- 22:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I got him at a four.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: I'll talk a little bit more about him later.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: There we go.
- 22:26SPEAKER_03: Stay tuned.
- 22:27SPEAKER_03: Oh that's the teaser for everybody.
- 22:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah I am uh selling him ASAP if I could get a decent job uh trade offer for him now george pickens he's the most interesting one for me tip i'll let you start it off yeah but I I'm about a three uh I'm I'm really not concerned uh this offense is is great uh you know it it's gonna be those situations where it's gonna be a CD lamb week it'll be a George Pickens week we haven't seen it from George Pickens yet they try to get him involved more last week I think they do it again this week with him uh I'm not can't I'm not panicked at all Nico yeah he he's a one like I'm not panicked at all he's 34th in fantasy points per game at the wide receiver position but his expected fantasy points per game is 19th um he was a fade for me at 80p but I mean you if you can buy low buy low on this guy for sure okay give me a hypothetical give me like a really like I have George Pickens you want him give me a hypothetical on what you think is a fair trade so I'm trying to get him from you yes yes okay uh let's see here thinking of select some third ish fourth round guys Drake London maybe I'd rather have um London for sure I mean London with Penix I think is you know top five ish um Nico Collins Christian Watson my guy Christian Watson you you would you would sell high on Christian Watson as much as I love him I would uh he's been that good I mean he's on pace for like 20 plus touchdowns that's that's not gonna happen like it's not that's true um yeah I mean those I think that's a good name that's a good name yeah Nico if we're thinking about wide receivers specifically yeah obviously if you're you know crossing over with the running backs you know you could look at like uh uh Jeremiah Love um you know DeAndre Swift something like that uh I would do those trades only if I have the RB depth fair enough fair enough now I mean I I had issues with um supporting two pass catchers I feel like this is C D Lamb's offense no questions asked and see CeeDee Lamb's cooking right now he's he's eating in this offense him and Ferguson it's been a nice sight to see uh let's see who else on this list can we sit here decide hey you know what we're panicked on so do you guys have any other specific players that we want to talk about before we move on to the news and I mean there's a ton of them but that would take the whole show it would it would but you know what hey there's a lot of headlines to talk about let's go right into it NFL headlines reminder y'all we have a football game at 8 30 a.m central standard time in London um as the Colts and commanders uh face off uh so make sure you set your lineups on either Saturday night or get up bright and early um to set your lineup for that early Sunday morning game.
- 25:45SPEAKER_00: Uh going into some news and notes uh Jaden Daniels is traveling with the team to London uh Devon A chain suffered an ACL injury um RIP obviously Ali Gordon was a hot topic on the waiver wire which we'll get to Brees Hall's week to week uh with a quad injury Travis Etienne is set to miss time with a hamstring so obviously a lot of running back injuries right there.
- 26:09SPEAKER_00: Uh Justin Jefferson you know nothing serious long term uh it sounds like he could play Sunday uh versus the Dolphins and I was a little worried about this one you know he didn't come back into the game I was getting some like AJ Brown type of like ankle vibes obviously got pretty scared we saw Addison go off um how do you guys feel about Jordan Addison if Justin Jefferson does miss Sunday against the Dolphins in a game that you know they're gonna be pretty favored in just super quick I uh I rate him as a a solid wide receiver too.
- 26:43SPEAKER_03: I think I think you have to try to find a way to put him in your starting lineup.
- 26:46SPEAKER_03: I won't force him in there but you know what if you got a spot and you're a toss up between a couple players I'd slap him right in sure you can slap him in yeah no I I like him too I don't know if I'll put him high as a wide receiver too I do think Justin Jefferson's gonna um miss this game I was watching a report uh by my friend Adam Hutchinson um who's a physical therapist uh I he he's got a bunch of credentials he works with football guys and he was um talking about this and it looks like it could be a one to two week injury uh to keep him out yeah I mean the Vikings are 10 and a half favorites 10 and a half point favorites at home to the Dolphins so you know it could be one of those games I'm sure if it was like a playoff game he'd be playing for sure but we'll see uh stay tuned on that uh Mike Evans day to day with his rib rib injury I don't know if y'all saw it live but it looked bad his face was like that of a man who was on his deathbed I mean he was having a hard time breathing he was having a hard time I wanted to get that guy like a cane and I don't know an ice pack or something but um Terrence Ferguson tight end for the Rams unlikely to play in week four Colby Parkinson uh also is uh dealing with an AC joint injury Tyler Higby if you're looking for a tight end streamer uh looks like he might be one of the few tight ends um who will be active this week for the Rams Puka Nakua is expected to play in week four thank the Lord uh Jalen Coker um Jalen Coker minor quad strain questionable for Sunday night Baker Mayfield set to miss at least three weeks uh with a thumb dislocation bears uh head coach Ben Johnson says he will quote see how things play out before deciding on starting QB in week four Jalen McMillan of the Bucks lands on the IR with a knee injury and then prayers up uh for packers wide receiver Jaden Reed he was placed on the IR with a neck injury very serious I think we touched on it last week a little bit um I would imagine this is a career altering potential injury but prayers up for him guys anything from this um that you want to touch on or should we transition that right to the waiver wire talk which obviously is in correlation with a lot of the news and notes yeah let's do the waiver wire let's hop right into the waivers yeah it's pretty straightforward on the injuries we'll monitor it as it goes but of course you know what that is always subject to change so I don't really want to speculate too hard on injuries especially because a lot of them are oh hey you know what he might play he might not play you just always have to have some contingency plans in case it happens right away which is of course why we have this waiver list that you could always find on our Twitter at of course ff space pod to make sure you are updated right before waivers clear to make sure you're able to put your bids measure your fab and of course use your waiver wire claims and then of course after the the waivers clear you can always snatch pick up players as it goes so of course you know we got a lot of players for you guys to be looking at Audi Gordon is probably the biggest one he is the guy that you probably wanted to put your either waiver claim on spend I would say like 30 maybe you guys could put in your input I would have put like 30% of my fab minimum for somebody like Audi Gordon I probably would have put like 50% if I had Devon A chain to make sure I could secure some sort of RB to use in this case um especially because he's gone the whole year.
- 30:19SPEAKER_03: So you're picking up an RB not for a weekly purpose not for a month purpose the whole year type of purpose and they're not the in a position where they can go and snatch an RB and then you know make a run now moment.
- 30:30SPEAKER_03: They're gonna see what they have with the younger guy.
- 30:32SPEAKER_03: So he feels like he would have been a pretty good spot for that in my personal opinion but how do you guys feel about that one?
- 30:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah I mean Ollie Gordon for me after a lot of consideration yesterday I landed around 25 to 30 percent of my fab, depending on my team outlook you know what is my running back situation look like you know I think it's gonna be really difficult.
- 30:53SPEAKER_00: Devon A chain was not being very productive as he normally is in this Dolphins offense but at the same time a running back uh similar to Judkins similar to like what we talked about with him earlier.
- 31:04SPEAKER_00: Any running back that's getting 15 to 20 carries a game you know is going to have fantasy value.
- 31:10SPEAKER_00: I think Braylon Allen is going to be the better play in the short term but if you were looking for more of a long term fix Ollie Gordon was your guy and then obviously like Kendra Miller Jalen Wright you know Alvin Kamara those were all guys that were probably more in the you know five to 10% or so of your fab.
- 31:28SPEAKER_03: That's where I landed now we'll let's stick to the dolphins for one more quick moment.
- 31:33SPEAKER_00: Malik Washington Malik Washington I remember telling everybody in the offseason hey you look out for this guy look out for this guy you got you I remember tip you gave me shit for it but you know what hey how do you feel about him now I mean he's a dolphin I don't care I don't want him I don't want any dolphin on my team I don't want Ali Gordon I don't want Jalen Wright I don't want any dolphin on my team but he didn't have a last week though and I'll give you a props he called it if I were to roster any dolphins I would presumably want it to be the wide one of the wide receivers specifically Chris Bell or um Malik Washington because they are going to be in game scripts where they're gonna have to throw the ball a ton um and it's not always going to be efficient it's not always going to be pretty but you have to think Malik Willis is going to continue to get better throughout the year I I don't imagine he's gonna get worse and in those game scripts there are uh potential for fantasy points there um but yeah it's it's all dependent on your team outlook and all that and I would imagine most of the audience waivers already ran so you know here we are so is there any anybody on this list specifically before we move off of the waivers because we have some questions that need to be answered that you guys feel like hey get him I just real quick just want people to just go out there and scour the waivers one more time for Darren Waller I mean he he has been he has been doing some really really nice things with Carolina and he gets probably or not probably he gets the juiciest matchup uh this week going against Detroit um so I mean Detroit has given up six total touchdowns to tight ends already this season so Darren Waller should get in the end zone as long as he's on that field.
- 33:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah I mean tip is right uh the Lions have given up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.
- 33:23SPEAKER_00: Uh obviously Waller's a massive red zone threat but more encouragingly he saw eight targets last week and we talked about it in our news and notes Jalen Coker is questionable so waller could easily have a very big game I mean he's I mean he's entering probably fringe tight end one status for me this week if not a must start at tight end unless you have one of the premium guys obviously like Kittle and you know some others there we go here here's a good one for you Colson Loveland or Darren Waller Darren Waller no questions yeah it's like not even hesitation Darren Waller Loveland is borderline droppable case keen him okay well if anyone dropped Loveland I'd be picking him up in a heartbeat but yeah I wouldn't do that but case keen looked all right we were all crapping on case keenum last week um he made us uh he made us look pretty bad he did all right so we got some questions I know Kelly has been patiently waiting in the chat to throw them right in our faces so Jaso asked dumping Barkley oh yeah he he was a potentially uh candidate uh he had I think 80 rushing yards in the first half and then 12 in the second half last week you screwed me by the way Barkley I lost by like two three fantasy points you screwed me I I hate you Barkley so you know what dump him selling gentees no you're not you're not dumping him no you're not dumping him yeah no I'm being dramatic at this point I feel you're paying that or I was in a super flex and I had Barkley and I ended up losing by four points and I went up against case Keenum and Luther Burden God oh that's that that's always such a disappointing way to lose yeah just like that it I don't remember how much I was up going into Sunday night but he was hurting at quarterback he picked up Keenum had Luther Burden he was like I I think I had like a 90% chance to win on sleeper and I somehow lost yeah and it didn't help that bark be at 10 yard oh I know it's and the second half the second half was such a disaster that hurt it it it was like college level bad I would say it wasn't an NFL it was a question hold up yeah well yeah we were talking oh yeah speaking of gentsy anyway so um yeah we're not worried about okay yeah no yeah we're good yeah who's another question uh what about Kelsey can't leave the old man yeah Kelsey must start he's tied up no that's not the question where's the question yeah oh I found the question there uh neighbor's shoulders Jamario Jamario grounds hold on hold on hold on you're skipping ahead right now hold on we still got oh you're going through it in order my fault yeah you gotta be I gotta be ordered I I haven't heard any news on neighbors's shoulder he did play the whole game he played 78 of the snaps in week three in that rain and win game I'm not super worried about him Terry McLaurin or Harold Fan oh if you ever Mario grounds I know I know Kelly's gonna hate me for this but if you ever put your tight end in a flex spot leave immediately Terry McLaurin no but he has got a point here it's Terry for me it's it's Terry for me it's a really good matchup uh Terry looked pretty solid uh got nine targets um against a really good Seattle defense last week with Mariota under center the Colts um I believe have allowed the let's see okay so they're they've allowed the 10th most points to fantasy opposing fantasy wide receivers I'd be starting Terry McLaurin here um the Steelers defense is pretty good but yeah it's it it's it's it's pretty weird how Terry McLaurin just flipped the script like that in one week um it's got me thinking some other things but that's for another show um yeah I've got to go Terry McLaurin you know with with I it's weird to say with Marcus Mariota I feel way more confident with the wide receivers being uh starred more startable than Jaden Daniels and it's not like a talent thing but Jaden Daniels running ability takes away from potential fantasy points that the wide receivers can get and you know I feel like they're kind of similar passers so the the wide receiver edge I feel like gets a little bit higher where Terry McLaurin is nicer of an opportunity with Marcus Mariota at the helm rather than Jaden Daniels.
- 37:54SPEAKER_03: Any other questions I think we're I think we're leaning clear yeah leaning towards Terry that that's the move right there fully agree.
- 38:01SPEAKER_03: Now we got some let's see before before I jump ahead before I jump ahead we got let's see boys the starts and sit segment this is my favorite segment in all fantasy football but let's hop right into it the life starts and sit of the week last week I missed a segment I jumped a segment I should say and a tip called me a bald headed lie that that hurt a little bit I was like man I I went to bed that night thinking about that insult it it hurt and then and then there was that moment where I had to uh step away and then Ellie was like hey I have hair oh my now when I I had my I was like oh man that hurt oh my god it was a good one it was a good it was really good you are a good sport bro oh yeah yeah you can say anything you want with you with me I think it's I think that stuff is hilarious it it didn't hurt as much yeah yeah yeah thank you guys thank you thank you Kel thank you i well how about this you you can go first since you didn't get to go last week you know what I appreciate it that's a real one it didn't hurt as much as the true true thanks thanks thanks it didn't hurt as much as the weak sauce comment but it was there it was close enough so starts of the week for me my homie Michael Wilson he is the guy that is the wide receiver one in this offense and he's looking elite you should see his all 22 sometimes it actually he has some unique cuts he has some route running ability and he has um zone beating ability and that sometimes a lot of wide receivers lack that ability in the NFL where they can find ways to find the soft spot in the zones be quarterback friendly and find ways to make themselves open in the end zone and he has all three of those which makes it so he's very quarterback friendly put him in your starting lineup and you've been doing it all year then you've been reaping the rewards how do you guys feel I absolutely love it I mean you know you you you sniped me this time you know because I was gonna put Michael Wilson up there and I I love it.
- 40:16SPEAKER_00: I think this is a great matchup for him I think that they found something with with him and Jacoby Brissett again so I kudos bro that's a good one I want to hear what Nico has to say though yeah no I mean you can't go wrong with starting a guy who saw 17 targets last week um and seven the uh in weeks one and two he was clearly the favorite target um for brissett it's a good matchup um against the Giants the Giants have allowed the 11th most 11th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers um I'm I mean it's hard to say no he's projected 12.3 I think he soars over that yeah you know going back to you said something about those targets and going back to last season with Wilson he has now seen double digit targets in six of his last 11 games with Brissette at quarterback I mean that that right there and and that is what made me feel like he was the number one wide receiver and then they paid him and then that solidified it yeah you go yeah he's getting a lot of red zone looks too I mean he's sixth in the NFL uh the position at red zone looks inside the 20 um obviously the you know the routes per game the targets per game the opportunity is all there for him and it's a pretty good matchup I think in a game that's going to be pretty high scoring surprisingly wide receivers with more targets than Wilson this year Chris Olave Jackson Smith in Jigba and Amon Raw St.
- 41:51SPEAKER_03: Brown so if that doesn't tell you other company good company it's it's a good spot to be in Anika um I'm throwing it back at you who is your start for week four yeah I'm going back to London and I'm starting Josh Downs.
- 42:06SPEAKER_00: I realized that probably came out weird because y'all probably thought I was going to say Drake London.
- 42:11SPEAKER_00: No I'm starting Josh Downs in London where the Colts and the commanders are playing bright and early and this guy's trending up big time uh for me with the news of the injury to Alec Pierce Josh Downs is in the 86th percentile in targets per game 99th percentile in separation score and fourth and win rate he's winning his routes he's generating separation and he lines up kind of all over he's you know been in on two wide receiver sets out wide he's been lining up in the slot gives him versatility to win uh whether it's you know um off the ball or with press coverage he's definitely more of a PPR play but it is encouraging to see that he's also 10th in the NFL and targets inside the 20 yard line so they do like to utilize him in the red zone as well and the commanders have allowed um the most the most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position they got torched by Dontavian Wicks CeeDee Lamb and JSN now I know those are obviously some pretty big names but given his 10.48 it looks like uh projected point total on sleeper I fully expect him to at minimum um achieve this mark and if he finds Payder for the first time all year uh which based on his red zone usage I think is completely possible I'm confidently starting him as a wide receiver two this week when he's normally been viewed as like a flex wide receiver three guy there we go you know it's always a little interesting to see somebody on the Colts in the starts of the week so I always like to see something like that.
- 43:46SPEAKER_01: Tip how do you feel no I love it yeah it it's a really good pick uh I don't know what's going on with Tyler Warren.
- 43:55SPEAKER_01: I don't know where they're missing misutilizing him because he's like he's Getting touchdowns, yeah.
- 44:01SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's cool.
- 44:02SPEAKER_01: But damn, we need him to get some yards, and he's really not averaging.
- 44:05SPEAKER_01: This last game, he did have uh double-digit targets, and he did have he did catch nine of those, but still the yards were only like 55.
- 44:13SPEAKER_01: So it's it's really we want to get more uh yardage from him.
- 44:17SPEAKER_01: So yeah, with with Josh Downs, um, what he can bring to this game, to this team.
- 44:22SPEAKER_01: I still think they need that explosive piece.
- 44:25SPEAKER_01: Um, and that should come you know in the future, hopefully, for them.
- 44:29SPEAKER_01: But um yeah, I like it.
- 44:31SPEAKER_01: I think it's a good pick and it's a good call, especially going against the commanders.
- 44:35SPEAKER_01: The commanders are terrible against wide receivers, they're great against running backs because nobody's running on them because everybody's passing on them.
- 44:42SPEAKER_03: There we go.
- 44:43SPEAKER_03: So let's see here.
- 44:46SPEAKER_03: Hmm.
- 44:48SPEAKER_00: We need tip start, no?
- 44:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I was gonna give a dramatic pause on that one and then be like, oh well, anyway.
- 44:54SPEAKER_03: Uh, but all right, tip, let's hear it.
- 44:57SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm gonna go and look, we we we drafted Tedaroa McMillan for a reason, right?
- 45:04SPEAKER_01: You drafted him to play him, and you gotta play him this week, and I think he delivers.
- 45:08SPEAKER_01: He's going against the Detroit Lions.
- 45:10SPEAKER_01: The Detroit Lions um are what they're giving up a ton of points to the wide receivers, something like 24 points per game.
- 45:19SPEAKER_01: And they've already given up three touchdowns.
- 45:22SPEAKER_01: I think they're getting this could be a Ted Roe McMillan game.
- 45:25SPEAKER_01: There's no possibly no Jalen Coker.
- 45:27SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Darren Waller um is gonna be there as well in the red zone.
- 45:31SPEAKER_01: But look, they're gonna have to keep up with this Detroit Lions offense.
- 45:35SPEAKER_01: Uh, so they're gonna be scoring points.
- 45:37SPEAKER_01: I think this is one of gonna be one of the higher scoring games uh of the week in primetime, and we get to see it with Bryce Young slinging the rock.
- 45:45SPEAKER_01: You know, he leads the league in in passing yardage right now, so I'm all for it with Tetaroa McMillan this week.
- 45:53SPEAKER_03: I like Tet.
- 45:54SPEAKER_03: Tet he runs actually.
- 45:56SPEAKER_03: So I wanted to do like almost like a Twitter mini-series of all 22s of like breakdowns of maybe like a specific play that I really liked or something that I feel like people should be on the lookout for.
- 46:08SPEAKER_03: And Teterroa's route running was gonna be like on that list of something that I wanted to break down because he did some crisp route running and some unique styles that really allowed him to get some separation.
- 46:19SPEAKER_03: But Nico, what do you think?
- 46:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, it's a great matchup.
- 46:23SPEAKER_00: Dallas has been um giving up points to the wide receiver position.
- 46:27SPEAKER_00: Um, Jalen Coker, like we talked about with Waller dealing with the quad injury, absolutely fire up McMillan.
- 46:33SPEAKER_00: I think he's a great buy-low candidate as well, especially because they're gonna play Sunday night and then he's gonna go on a bye.
- 46:38SPEAKER_00: So, as a part of your negotiation process and buying low, you can talk about the fact that well, he's not gonna be in your lineup in week five.
- 46:47SPEAKER_03: There we go.
- 46:48SPEAKER_03: Now, of course, you know what with the starts, and now we got to go with the sits.
- 46:53SPEAKER_03: So I mean, I guess it's only fair that since actually, you know what?
- 46:56SPEAKER_03: Do I do I want to go first, boys, or do you guys want to go?
- 46:58SPEAKER_03: You go ahead.
- 47:00SPEAKER_03: All right, fine.
- 47:01SPEAKER_03: Jalen Waddle.
- 47:02SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, Nico, on this one.
- 47:03SPEAKER_03: I know he's your guy, but what's going on with him?
- 47:06SPEAKER_03: You know, the usage is an issue, consistency.
- 47:08SPEAKER_03: I feel like that was also gonna be an issue, and something that you know what you drafted him for that big play potential, kind of like Javante Williams, almost in a way, but with week one and week three combined, three type three catches and 12 yards combined, three catches, 12 yards, week one and week three.
- 47:25SPEAKER_03: Week two, of course, you know, he had that huge play and he had 130 yards at Natashi, uh, 130 yards.
- 47:31SPEAKER_03: Uh, and against the Niners, tough matchup.
- 47:34SPEAKER_03: We got chemistry issues with Bonex.
- 47:36SPEAKER_03: He is having trouble seeing the field in a clear way.
- 47:39SPEAKER_03: I don't think you should put him in your fantasy lineup going into this week, but of course, Nico, I'll let you go for it first.
- 47:46SPEAKER_03: What do you think?
- 47:47SPEAKER_00: No, it's fine.
- 47:48SPEAKER_00: I mean, I like Jalen Waddell coming into the season.
- 47:51SPEAKER_00: I've been pretty disappointed.
- 47:53SPEAKER_00: He wasn't like one of my like top, top guys, but I definitely liked him.
- 47:58SPEAKER_00: He's been tough.
- 47:59SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's you know 53rd in routes per game.
- 48:03SPEAKER_00: Um, which I don't know why he's not running more routes.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: He's 71st percentile in targets, which is encouraging, but he's just not getting the fantasy production that you're looking for.
- 48:15SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I would consider him a full-on sit, um, but I understand hesitation depending on what your options might be.
- 48:24SPEAKER_00: There we go.
- 48:25SPEAKER_03: Niga tip.
- 48:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's it's this offense is not trustworthy.
- 48:33SPEAKER_01: So for me, Jalen Waddle is is a good pick on this one.
- 48:37SPEAKER_03: All righty, let's keep it going in the rotation as we are starting to climb on in the clock, as Kelly is kindly mentioning to us.
- 48:45SPEAKER_03: So, tip, who's your guy?
- 48:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's Javante Williams.
- 48:49SPEAKER_01: Look, you're going against the Texans.
- 48:51SPEAKER_01: That defense is ferocious.
- 48:52SPEAKER_01: That is the number one defense against running backs.
- 48:55SPEAKER_01: They stopped Jonathan Taylor last week.
- 48:57SPEAKER_01: They will stop Javante Williams this week as well.
- 49:01SPEAKER_01: I don't know what's going to happen in the passing game.
- 49:03SPEAKER_01: That should be very interesting.
- 49:05SPEAKER_01: So, um, I'm I'm curious to see could he fall into the end zone?
- 49:09SPEAKER_01: But Javante Williams, he's a sit for me this week.
- 49:13SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it worked well for you last week with Jonathan Taylor.
- 49:16SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna go with Jadarian Price.
- 49:19SPEAKER_00: You know, he was a fade for me coming into drafts, but he has not returned on that investment at all.
- 49:23SPEAKER_00: He's been fumbling the ball, he's 35th in rush attempts per game.
- 49:27SPEAKER_00: Um, through three games, he's yet to exceed 52 rushing yards.
- 49:31SPEAKER_00: He's not getting goal line work, he's not getting uh receiving work.
- 49:36SPEAKER_00: Um, it's not looking good for him.
- 49:38SPEAKER_00: Uh, I would be benching him this week.
- 49:40SPEAKER_00: Uh, he's got a mediocre matchup, but it was very skewed by James Cook uh going nuclear last week.
- 49:47SPEAKER_00: His matchup is against the Chargers.
- 49:49SPEAKER_00: Jadarian Price sit him this week.
- 49:52SPEAKER_00: Do not start him.
- 49:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 49:55SPEAKER_03: I oh man, that's such a tough one to say.
- 49:58SPEAKER_03: A fumble loss into a tougher matchup.
- 50:01SPEAKER_03: Not going to sit there and recommend that putting him in your starting lineup.
- 50:05SPEAKER_03: But of course, you know what?
- 50:06SPEAKER_03: We're actually gonna be putting some more starts and more sits on our Twitter.
- 50:11SPEAKER_03: So you're gonna want to make sure that, of course, a right beside here at FF Space Pod that you are following this channel, the YouTube, the Twitter, the Spotify, and everything around us to make sure you're up to date on all the news and updates that the channel does provide, whether it's waiver wires updates, or of course, this legendary starts and sits.
- 50:32SPEAKER_03: But of course, next to Starts and Sits, the second most legendary segment that we have is of course our Pickets for Krusty.
- 50:42SPEAKER_02: Crusty picks brought to you by Pickett.
- 50:47SPEAKER_03: Hey, we we we gotta pat ourselves all three of us on the back.
- 50:51SPEAKER_03: We went three for three.
- 50:53SPEAKER_03: All of us, you know what?
- 50:54SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes, I want to say, you know, we were.
- 50:57SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna say I got a little lucky with lad McConkly.
- 50:59SPEAKER_03: He got it right at the end, he just barely scratched right through it on the over with lad mcconkly.
- 51:05SPEAKER_03: But hey, you know what?
- 51:05SPEAKER_03: Hey, an over is an over, and we take our dubs, you know.
- 51:09SPEAKER_03: 100 man, 100.
- 51:11SPEAKER_03: So if you know, if you're just trying to make some free money, you know, I'm bored.
- 51:14SPEAKER_03: You need sometimes you just gotta make some free money every so often.
- 51:18SPEAKER_03: Nico, who are you going with?
- 51:21SPEAKER_00: Well, great job, guys.
- 51:23SPEAKER_00: I mean, we had uh we had some people on Twitter hitting us up saying like they're gonna parlay them and whatnot.
- 51:28SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Yeah, go for it, and it's in cash, you got to come back next week.
- 51:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, yeah.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've I've actually taken my thoughts to Twitter on this one, and now it's time to put my money uh where my mouth is.
- 51:40SPEAKER_00: And I talked a little bit about it earlier, saying I was gonna touch on it later.
- 51:44SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go with Malik Neighbors, uh, over 52 and a half receiving yards on Sunday.
- 51:50SPEAKER_00: Guys, it's time that he gets going, and what better time to get going than versus the Cardinals, who have allowed the second most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position.
- 52:00SPEAKER_00: I mean, neighbors is still 12th in the NFL in targets per route run and top 32nd percentile in targets per game.
- 52:08SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's it's been a really weird stretch of two games.
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: I mean, they had the dart injury on Monday night, and then they had the game last week with the high wind, high rain.
- 52:20SPEAKER_00: He's still a low-end wide receiver, too.
- 52:22SPEAKER_00: For me, I think it's a great matchup.
- 52:24SPEAKER_00: 52 and a half yards.
- 52:25SPEAKER_00: I'll be taking the over.
- 52:26SPEAKER_00: I'll be buying when everybody's selling.
- 52:30SPEAKER_03: There we go.
- 52:31SPEAKER_03: Over on 52 and a half.
- 52:33SPEAKER_03: You know, me personally, with how on fire Trevor Lawrence has been this season, I'm going one and a half over on the passing touchdown stat.
- 52:42SPEAKER_03: I mean, last week against his tough New England defense, he put up three against Cleveland's defense.
- 52:48SPEAKER_03: He put up four.
- 52:49SPEAKER_03: And now against Cincinnati, you're expecting him to just put up one.
- 52:53SPEAKER_03: Nah, come on, over on that one playing right away.
- 52:57SPEAKER_03: He's been playing two lights out for this.
- 52:59SPEAKER_03: Tip, who's your pick?
- 53:01SPEAKER_01: Yeah, for me, I like both of your picks.
- 53:03SPEAKER_01: That that first of all, Nico, that's a gutsy call, man.
- 53:07SPEAKER_01: Uh, with Malik Neighbors.
- 53:09SPEAKER_01: I know the matchup is nice, but that's a gutsy call.
- 53:12SPEAKER_00: Um as long as James is starting, I'm good with it.
- 53:16SPEAKER_00: By the way, we didn't even talk about nine, JJ McCarthy getting traded.
- 53:21SPEAKER_00: I apologize for not putting that in the news and notes.
- 53:23SPEAKER_00: JJ McCarthy got traded to the Giants.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: Tip, go ahead.
- 53:28SPEAKER_01: Well, JJ McCarthy is definitely not in my player prop for this week, uh, and probably will never be.
- 53:35SPEAKER_01: Um, but Tyler Shuck, uh, over 253 yards.
- 53:39SPEAKER_01: He's averaging 300 yards per game.
- 53:41SPEAKER_01: So I kind of look at this as a slap in the face.
- 53:44SPEAKER_01: And I don't know if you kind of been looking at like and listening to Tyler Algier or Tyler Shuck, he's got a little bit of like badass in him.
- 53:52SPEAKER_01: Like he, you know, he don't like when when people start talking uh, you know, talking down to him or talking bad about him, he uses that as fuel.
- 54:01SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, somebody called him a poor man's Josh Allen.
- 54:05SPEAKER_01: Uh, I heard an interview uh with that one of his uh co his uh teammates was saying that you know he's a fiery guy, he's a very competitive guy.
- 54:13SPEAKER_01: So I think he'll probably look at this and be like, huh, 253 yards, and you know, even if even if it's any tougher matchup, it's at home, it's the Saints.
- 54:24SPEAKER_01: Kellen Moore's been drumming up some really nice plays for him in this offense.
- 54:28SPEAKER_01: Um, so I really think that Tyler Shuck over 253 is an easy call.
- 54:35SPEAKER_03: I like it.
- 54:36SPEAKER_03: There we go.
- 54:37SPEAKER_00: Me, you know, I was gonna I was gonna pick uh Ted McMillan over his receiving yards, and then I was like, wait, do I really wanna make my pick of the week be Bryce Young on Sunday night football in the primetime game?
- 54:54SPEAKER_00: I was like, That's a time I know he's I know he's been good, I know Bryce has been awesome, but seeing it, I you know how those primetime games go, they usually go under, you know.
- 55:06SPEAKER_00: They're they're you know, you got the spotlight on you.
- 55:09SPEAKER_03: So let's see, we're gonna have to unfortunately wrap up the episode.
- 55:12SPEAKER_03: We are definitely getting close to the hour mark right now.
- 55:16SPEAKER_03: Jason, he posted about seven different types of over-unders, and I'm gonna tell you right now, Jay Snow, all of them, all of them under, under, all of them.
- 55:25SPEAKER_03: Like I'm looking like under well no that Roman Wilson.
- 55:29SPEAKER_01: No, that Roman Wilson's interesting.
- 55:32SPEAKER_03: Uh maybe Brock Purdy over 14 and a half rushing yards.
- 55:36SPEAKER_03: I still would probably pick the under.
- 55:37SPEAKER_03: Uh Cooper Cup 22 and a half, yeah, probably under.
- 55:41SPEAKER_03: CJ Snare out rushing yards, yeah.
- 55:43SPEAKER_03: Probably the under.
- 55:44SPEAKER_03: Uh Travis Kelsey 15 and a half.
- 55:46SPEAKER_03: Okay, maybe over on Travis Kelsey, but you know, I'll still probably pick the under just in case.
- 55:50SPEAKER_00: Uh you gotta get Jason on picket so I can follow him for all of his plays.
- 55:54SPEAKER_00: We're always going back and forth on Twitter sharing plays.
- 55:56SPEAKER_00: There we go.
- 55:58SPEAKER_03: That is going to have to wrap up this unfortunately legendary episode.
