Latest / BDGE Fantasy Football / Week 1 Has Flipped Fantasy Football On Its Head (Game Recaps)
Transcript
- 0:01[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning friends and enemies.
- 0:04[SPEAKER_00]: We are here live every single Monday morning to recap every single game from the previous week's slate as it relates to fantasy football.
- 0:13[SPEAKER_00]: So we're going to go game by game breaking down the box scores breaking down the snap percentages the route percentages.
- 0:19[SPEAKER_00]: all that juicy stuff for y'all so that we can either panic together or I can tell y'all to relax and not panic following week one of fantasy football.
- 0:28[SPEAKER_00]: Listen, if your team had a bad week,
- 0:31[SPEAKER_00]: you join 85% of people.
- 0:33[SPEAKER_00]: This was not a great start to the fantasy football season.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: If you didn't have an elite quarterback, if you didn't have one of the studs up top, your team probably hovered around the 100 point mark, right?
- 0:44[SPEAKER_00]: Not much higher, not much less, 10 points, give or take.
- 0:47[SPEAKER_00]: There just was not a lot of scoring in this one.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_00]: All the top-byte receivers absolutely shank their projection.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_00]: It was ugly.
- 0:53[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I saw a stat somewhere that going into Sunday night football,
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: That was the first time ever in week one that we went into a Sunday night football matchup without a 30-point score But that should tell you how the week went and we we've been seeing that more and more in recent years in terms of Week one scoring and just the sloppiness and the decay of offenses in week one Because a lot of them just simply don't play in preseason and you know it boils over and some of them that do play in preseason They don't
- 1:28[SPEAKER_00]: Use the actual play calls and the offensive system that that they want to use in the actual regular season because they don't want to give it away and put it on tape.
- 1:36[SPEAKER_00]: So it's a lot of sloppiness.
- 1:38[SPEAKER_00]: But we're here to tell you that you should panic on some players.
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: You shouldn't panic on other guys.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to get into the root cause of every problem that I have in my entire life right now football aside.
- 1:48[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_00]: Let's jump right into the week one game.
- 1:53[SPEAKER_00]: Dallas, at Philadelphia, Philly, 24, 20, big week one win.
- 2:01[SPEAKER_00]: I'll tell you what I was encouraged by, I'll tell you what I was not encouraged by.
- 2:05[SPEAKER_00]: That press got looked phenomenal, despite the box score, 21 for 34, 188, only 5.5 yards per attempt, but I will tell you what,
- 2:16[SPEAKER_00]: that man was throwing the rock anywhere he was placing it in the bosoms of his receivers and they just continuously drop that shit over and over again i mean he was putting pin point accuracy on sideline throws outside the hash that only you know the top pocket passers can really dominate for you so
- 2:40[SPEAKER_00]: When I'm looking at deck and I'm looking at this offense overall, this one has me optimistic.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: CD lamb, you know, played really well.
- 2:46[SPEAKER_00]: George Pickins was shadowed entirely by Quinion Mitchell, the entire game.
- 2:51[SPEAKER_00]: They kept CD in the slot, they kept George Pickins in the outside as expected.
- 2:54[SPEAKER_00]: But he's not going to have as many tough matchups against a guy like Quinion Mitchell throughout the remainder of the season.
- 3:00[SPEAKER_00]: So much better days ahead.
- 3:01[SPEAKER_00]: George Pickins is going to be one of those guys that
- 3:04[SPEAKER_00]: maybe a little bit lower volume.
- 3:07[SPEAKER_00]: It's annoying because if you own them last year, you're like, man, are we ever going to get games where, you know, he has more than six or seven targets.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_00]: And then he goes over to Dallas and you're like, hell yeah, we go to a high volume passing offense.
- 3:21[SPEAKER_00]: And then you realize it's like, yeah, you know, what Dallas actually throws a ball like 10 more times per game than Pittsburgh does, but they also have a dude in CD Land who ever who commands 15 targets per game.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, it is what it is.
- 3:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still fine with George Pickins Javante Williams.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he gets in for two touchdowns.
- 3:38[SPEAKER_00]: This feels like this was.
- 3:40[SPEAKER_00]: Unsurprising in the fact that he was the workhorse, I think like everything throughout the summer kind of led us to believe that he was clearly going to be the starter and it's a lot of the sentiment that I've been saying to you guys all offseason it's just like rushing touchdowns are simply a product of the offense like 15 for 54 on the ground 3.6 yards for carry is nothing special whatsoever he he looked relatively good it's honestly probably the best on the ground he's looked in a little in a couple years like he had a little bit of juice here and there.
- 4:10[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but the touchdowns like, of course, if you're going to end up inside the two yard line or whatever, like you're going to have a very high scoring opportunity.
- 4:17[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Jalen Carter, speeding on deck, getting ejected right away is going to leave some gaping holes in the middle of that defensive line.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: Milling Williams is not there anymore.
- 4:24[SPEAKER_00]: So like, there are and Josh, what is that?
- 4:26[SPEAKER_00]: So there is some questions on the the Eagles front seven and how effective they're going to be stopping the run.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_00]: But when Jalen Carter's back online is obviously going to be way fewer holes in the front seven for guys like Javansay to walk through.
- 4:41[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, I feel good about Javante right now.
- 4:43[SPEAKER_00]: If you were someone who kind of faded running back and still round nine, round 10, you could probably throw him in on a weekly basis as a low end RB2 flex play with the thought that like, the way I think you should look at rushing touchdowns outside guys like Derek Henry who rip him off for 60 orders.
- 4:57[SPEAKER_00]: Are like, okay, if I look at this box score and he doesn't score a touchdown how am I feeling like that's probably what we're going to get at a javante every other week, but if Dallas is good and then moving the ball well then he should be in line for touchdowns every other week or so so javante good game obviously on the other side of the ball it's like.
- 5:15[SPEAKER_00]: People acting surprised that some of the receivers had downgames.
- 5:19[SPEAKER_00]: This was quite literally their game plan every single week last year.
- 5:23[SPEAKER_00]: It was like, where are the Eagles?
- 5:24[SPEAKER_00]: We have a great offensive line.
- 5:26[SPEAKER_00]: We have a good defense that's going to stop teams.
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: Let's dominate through the ground.
- 5:30[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what we saw.
- 5:31[SPEAKER_00]: Jalen Hertz attempted 23 pass attempts here.
- 5:33[SPEAKER_00]: As you can see, the team ran the ball 38 times.
- 5:37[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, the outlier Bay J Brown getting a single target, the Montesmith getting three targets is something a little bit different, not something we're expecting week over week over week.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think like you signed up for the type of offense that the Eagles are going to have, right?
- 5:52[SPEAKER_00]: You signed up for the fact that
- 5:53[SPEAKER_00]: this was exactly the game plan that got them to the Super Bowl and I get it like their defense might take a step back.
- 6:00[SPEAKER_00]: They might be in more, um, you know, neutral game scripts, but even a neutral game scripts, when they're not dominating, you could see what they want to do.
- 6:08[SPEAKER_00]: And it's gives a quantum million touch.
- 6:09[SPEAKER_00]: It's Jalen Hertz scrambling a lot.
- 6:11[SPEAKER_00]: He looked as good scrambling on Thursday, and I football as he's looked at any point in his career.
- 6:16[SPEAKER_00]: Like he looks
- 6:18[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm not panicking on these equals wide receivers.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just looking at them the same way I was looking at them all summer.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: Is that this is going to be a very, very run heavy offense.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_00]: I also one thing I want to point out is, say quen bark leaves snaps here for go over the running back position.
- 6:35[SPEAKER_00]: This screen is on fantasylife.com.
- 6:38[SPEAKER_00]: They put together all this data for us Monday morning, which is fucking the most beautiful thing ever.
- 6:44[SPEAKER_00]: say quambarkly 80% snap guy, you know, not surprising whatsoever, but one take away that I do want to have here with say quans.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: This is something I think I tweeted out a couple of weeks ago that I didn't think it was like a big deal, but I thought it was something worth noting with kind of game well out in Pittsburgh now.
- 7:01[SPEAKER_00]: Say quambarkly like two minute drill, four minute drill snaps, 100% of them.
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: That was not if we could simply just go back to last year's numbers,
- 7:13[SPEAKER_00]: He was only a 55% kind of game world was chewing up 42% he was in on 39% of the long long-gowned distance naps in 2025 with no kind of game well.
- 7:23[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, say quans floor from a receiving standpoint, he might kind of like back his way into, you know, 50 catches, which on top of his rushing load is crazy, will ship Lee.
- 7:34[SPEAKER_00]: Went down with a rib injury.
- 7:35[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure what the overall prognosis is on him, but I'm, you know, I'm not worried about we'll ship Lee kind of diving into it, but I will say like I think Sake Wan is going to play on a lot of long down just in snap, a lot of two minutes and apps in this offense without candid game well there.
- 7:48[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that boosts his for a little bit.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: And as I said, this is the fantasy life dot com website quite literally like the utilization report that they put out every week is these single best resource probably in fantasy football right now with them gathering all of this data short down in distance inside the five rush attempts long down in distance two minutes and apps utilization score is.
- 8:12[SPEAKER_00]: really a great fucking product and you can see how smooth it is just switching from position to position.
- 8:17[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that I will be using probably forever as long as they have it.
- 8:21[SPEAKER_00]: You guys can go sign up for any fantasy life plus membership on their website.
- 8:26[SPEAKER_00]: We've got a link down below in the description.

- 8:33[SPEAKER_00]: So you can get a year-long subscription, and it's really not even that expensive, and you can get access to this to help you make like the best decisions in your fantasy league.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: This use code BGE, you'll get 20% off, and you'll be able to look at this stuff anytime you want.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_00]: They have a million other things.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_00]: on their website as well, that you can think around with and, you know, sync your league and and look at whatever type of league settings or league scoring that you're in.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, this stuff is invaluable for us as redraw fantasy football players.
- 8:58[SPEAKER_00]: So moving on, we have the chargers and the chiefs and man, I don't even know where to start in this one.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: Well, start with the Chargers, Justin Herbert, this might have been the best game I've ever seen on play.
- 9:11[SPEAKER_00]: He was unreal in this game.
- 9:14[SPEAKER_00]: And what's even more surprising is just like the lack of running back carries in this one.
- 9:20[SPEAKER_00]: Herbert threw the ball 34 times, 34 times, they ran the ball 25, but seven of them were just in Herbert runs.
- 9:27[SPEAKER_00]: And I actually want to see if they have, let me see quarterback, they do have design rush attempts.
- 9:32[SPEAKER_00]: That's beautiful.
- 9:36[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so 100% snaps, 0% design rush attempts, 10% of scramble.
- 9:44[SPEAKER_00]: So when we were looking at this, that means that the chargers actually called 41 pass attempts to 18 rush attempts.
- 9:55[SPEAKER_00]: That is like not what we were expecting.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that was just a pure game plan going against the Kansas City Chiefs and I have to say you know I tweeted out a video like the day after this game and the compilation of the pockets that Herbert had.
- 10:10[SPEAKER_00]: unbelievable.
- 10:11[SPEAKER_00]: Like he was standing there for a good five to six seconds.
- 10:13[SPEAKER_00]: There was no pressure from the Kansas City base four rush.
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: When they blitz, they put a little pressure and that's when Herbert struggled a little bit.
- 10:22[SPEAKER_00]: But outside of that, Kansas City got zero pressure when they were blitzing their base four.
- 10:27[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's probably more telling about the Kansas City
- 10:31[SPEAKER_00]: Pass rush and it is you know, there's no way like the chargers the chargers online is probably good But they're not they don't lose race on slater and then become elite because of it I think that's gonna be more problematic on the Kansas city side just them not being able to get into the backfield without spagnola Dicing up blitz is it was it was pretty fucking ugly out there but Herbert looked I mean
- 10:48[SPEAKER_00]: You give that man a clean pocket.
- 10:50[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if there's a better thrower of the football on earth.
- 10:53[SPEAKER_00]: I just question, you know, when it's the big time moments, when it's, uh, pockets are collapsing, there could be some some problems back there.
- 11:00[SPEAKER_00]: But for, uh, the rest of the team, I mean, talk about the backfield tomorrow in Hampton, dominated touches 81%.
- 11:07[SPEAKER_00]: 81% of snaps rush attempts ran 60% of the routes all short down in distance 82% of the long down in distance and snaps like you couldn't have asked for a better run out for Omar in Hampton in week one.
- 11:18[SPEAKER_00]: I also think that was kind of obvious coming off of Najy Harris missing the last two months.
- 11:23[SPEAKER_00]: I do think Najy Harris will get a little bit more involved in this offense as he gets more into game shape, but I don't think you can just throw him out there in a new system without you know playing the last
- 11:34[SPEAKER_00]: The last month or two of football.
- 11:36[SPEAKER_00]: So I do think that snap count will probably be closer to like, you know, 70, 30 over the course of the next couple of weeks, but I mean, like you can't ask for more for Omar and Anthony in terms of usage.
- 11:47[SPEAKER_00]: You didn't have like that big of a day only 15 for 48 on the ground.
- 11:51[SPEAKER_00]: The Kansas City run defense is still anchored by Chris Jones and that's always going to be a tough one to run against.
- 11:57[SPEAKER_00]: My name happens a funny dude, man.
- 11:58[SPEAKER_00]: Like.
- 12:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's like a bowling ball build.
- 12:03[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got this like real sneaky explosive miss you give him the whole and he he turns into this fucking little squirrel real quick, but he kind of like runs a little bit at a control a lot right like It feels like every play that he's running at one point or another like he's turned around fully like he does a wonderful one like his back is to the end zone no matter what play they call like he's at some point or another he did a full spin
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: throughout the run.
- 12:28[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not because he hit the B button on an Xbox controller.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's kind of funny, but I mean, he's powerful, he's explosive.
- 12:34[SPEAKER_00]: Like, there are really good days to come with Hampton.
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: I will say with Herbert too, like obviously a very good game, you're not going to get much better games in this, but I do really like to see the design or the the scrambled runs for him.
- 12:45[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's going to end up being a big part of this offense for him.
- 12:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think Greg Roman pretty much like solidified the summer.
- 12:51[SPEAKER_00]: He's like, it's going to be something that I want to see more out of Herbert and Herbert's a very good athlete.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: That was good.
- 12:55[SPEAKER_00]: Quentin Johnson balled out, five or 79 and two, Latin Maconkey did his normal six or 74.
- 12:59[SPEAKER_00]: Keenan Allen, man, led the team and target to 10 of them.
- 13:02[SPEAKER_00]: This was another one that like Keenan when he was signed.
- 13:05[SPEAKER_00]: It felt pretty obvious that he was going to have a big role in this offense, right?
- 13:08[SPEAKER_00]: Like two years removed or a single year removed from having a monster year with Herbert.
- 13:12[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're very clearly comfortable together.
- 13:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think all three of these receivers obviously need to be owned in fantasy football.
- 13:18[SPEAKER_00]: You're obviously still ranking lad very high.
- 13:21[SPEAKER_00]: Quentin Johnson, I mean, he's a big play guy.
- 13:23[SPEAKER_00]: He's clearly developed into a much better receiver than he was as a rookie.
- 13:26[SPEAKER_00]: Like he is he is a legit playmaker at this point.
- 13:28[SPEAKER_00]: Extremely good athlete seems to be the downfield threat that they want to use in this offense.
- 13:33[SPEAKER_00]: It's full of playmaker.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: We're ladding keen in her both like, you know, solid, eat up chunk yard, short intermediate part of the field.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_00]: And when you got Herbert's arm, when you got the blocking up front, the Herbert's getting.
- 13:44[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's going to have time to throw to guys like Quentin Johnson, but I mean, we saw games like this from Johnson last year, so I wouldn't expect crazy consistency, but, you know, you could definitely do worse in your lineups in Johnson on the flip side.
- 13:56[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it doesn't get much worse than what we're seeing out of the Kansas City offense.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: This, it's crazy.
- 14:00[SPEAKER_00]: This team went from like, just a few years ago, must watch TV to like hard to watch TV, you know, like overnight.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_00]: When they get rid of Tyreak and Travis Kelsey's now old like, you know, speaking of Kelsey feels like people who drafted him or are going to get are going to catch another lucky break this year with all the injuries and suspension so we'll start with Xavier worthy who dislocated his shoulder we don't have at least as of this string we don't have a finite
- 14:30[SPEAKER_00]: answer or don't have a finite timeline of when we should expect him to return.
- 14:34[SPEAKER_00]: What I'm hearing right now is minimum of three weeks most likely.
- 14:38[SPEAKER_00]: There is a path where he can opt to have surgery and then that will keep him out for the remainder of the season.
- 14:46[SPEAKER_00]: So I believe the way that this pretty much works is like
- 14:50[SPEAKER_00]: you know, for long-term health, for the ability to have like sustained shoulder health and not have these dislocations continue to recur.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_00]: Having surgery early would be the smart move, but obviously these players want to get on the field and they want to play early.
- 15:08[SPEAKER_00]: So I heard some really interesting data this morning from an actual doctor, a sports doctor that said, if Xavier were the
- 15:20[SPEAKER_00]: the average re-injury or re-dislocation rate for these specific injuries is 50 percent over the course of the year.
- 15:29[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just technically a doctor so don't take my word for it.
- 15:33[SPEAKER_00]: That was, I believe it was Deepak Shona.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: Great following Twitter.
- 15:36[SPEAKER_00]: He does a plug on fantasy pros every week.
- 15:39[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he said the recurring injury rate for the dislocation of the shoulder that Xavier
- 15:50[SPEAKER_00]: spooky hours.
- 15:52[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm imagining he's going for a second opinion right now.
- 15:54[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know, but obviously it's a tough loss for Xavier Worthy.
- 15:57[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, filling in for him, like obviously got rice out for the next five weeks when rice comes back of Worthy still out like rice might get 190 targets even missing the first six games.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: What's an even tougher pill to swallow is like these Hollywood Brown targets 16 targets 10 for 99 probably would have been where these so Hollywood Brown is obviously a must pick up this week he's going to eat up a lot of the targets that I mean they need someone to do something on this offense Hollywood Brown.
- 16:36[SPEAKER_00]: I, again, think he's, he just looks old man.
- 16:38[SPEAKER_00]: He's not, he's not Travis Kelsey anymore.
- 16:40[SPEAKER_00]: Tackle on Thorin.
- 16:42[SPEAKER_00]: Mom's feels really comfortable throwing the deep ball to him.
- 16:44[SPEAKER_00]: He is like the new deep threat for the chiefs.
- 16:47[SPEAKER_00]: And he was a dude who ran, I think it was like a four, like low four threes coming out of college.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_00]: Can never get anything going on the Patriots, but my home seems to really like taking shots down the field to him.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, Hollywood Brown is the clear pickup here.
- 17:01[SPEAKER_00]: In the back field, I mean, we got a fucking mess.
- 17:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think we talked about a good bit throughout the off season was that my one of my concerns for Pacheco was just the involvement for a guy like Kremont and Bershardt Smith.
- 17:14[SPEAKER_00]: And that was kind of the case here.
- 17:16[SPEAKER_00]: We had five rushing attempts for Pacheco, five rushing attempts for a Kremont, 21 routes run for Pacheco, 17 routes run for Kremont's, both got three targets, short down in distance
- 17:31[SPEAKER_00]: Czecho in there for two minute drill, but like it's it's such a clear committee and neither them were able to really get push or have success against well, I think it's going to be a very, very stout, you know, chargers, run defense here.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: So not great for be Czecho.
- 17:44[SPEAKER_00]: I do think better days are ahead.
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: I do think there will be situations where they ride the hot hand on a week two week basis, but for right now it's it's almost impossible to have.
- 17:52[SPEAKER_00]: Confidence in in Pacheco like you can't really start cream hunt But you can't really start Pacheco either until you see more of like a hot-hand approach and Pacheco starts the game off hot and they keep him in right now So, you know, this is this is the our big concern pretty much all summer and it kind of came to fruition unfortunately
- 18:10[SPEAKER_00]: Moving to the Sunday Slay to Games, let's just get this shit out of the way Baker Mayfield whatever.
- 18:15[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah.
- 18:16[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, a mechagbuka for for 67 and two touchdowns pretty much the NFL's worst kept secret at this point, uh, everyone and their mother and their father and their grandmother and their grandfather and the dog sister and their fucking brothers will second engaged divorce fucking wife's cat, uh, new a mechagbuka was going to be a goat.
- 18:34[SPEAKER_00]: And of course, he had to
- 18:36[SPEAKER_00]: Peel all over us in week one.
- 18:38[SPEAKER_00]: I will say I will say this point again for Mike Evans.
- 18:44[SPEAKER_00]: Baker had at least like three or four throws that should have been picked.
- 18:48[SPEAKER_00]: Xavier Watts are safety, rookie.
- 18:51[SPEAKER_00]: It was like an absolute ball hawk probably should have had at least one or two picks in this game and things turn out very, very different differently, of course, but it didn't fucking happen because we're the Falcons and that shit never happens and we don't close games and we stink and it's fucking terrible, but sure.
- 19:07[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I mean, it book and Evans are still must arts bucky struggle on the ground a little bit, but still got in through the air.
- 19:13[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not concerned about him whatsoever on the flip side of things.
- 19:18[SPEAKER_00]: We struggled on the ground.
- 19:19[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler else year and be John Robinson just 22 for 48 combined not great.
- 19:25[SPEAKER_00]: The concerning part, again, is one that I've talked about a little bit this summer, is our offensive line, man.
- 19:32[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we lose Drew Dalman, our center to the bears of your free agency.
- 19:36[SPEAKER_00]: We then lose Caleb McGarry for the season, a couple of weeks ago with an injury, then we lose his backup for the season.
- 19:43[SPEAKER_00]: It's not great on the offensive line.
- 19:45[SPEAKER_00]: We were a strong offensive line for the last bunch of years, but those two guys were like, really good at run blocking.
- 19:51[SPEAKER_00]: And now we don't have them on the O line anymore.
- 19:53[SPEAKER_00]: And I could see us struggling a little bit, you know, especially when you're going against a nose tackle like Vita Vega who just plows through where he's in actual tractor on the football field.
- 20:04[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so yeah, rushing efficiencies concerned, but I mean, when you're be John and you can take 50 yard dump offs to the crypto.
- 20:10[SPEAKER_00]: It's not we're not overly concerned from a PPR standpoint.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_00]: Drake London 15 targets in this one.
- 20:17[SPEAKER_00]: Every time Darnell Mooney is off the field, he was a kind of a surprise and active in this one.
- 20:22[SPEAKER_00]: Every time he's off the field, that ends up meaning Drake London gets a bajillion targets and we saw that now.
- 20:34[SPEAKER_00]: What I've heard so far is that it's likely a minor ACs brain.
- 20:38[SPEAKER_00]: There's a very real chance that he could suit up next week.
- 20:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is kind of a pain tolerance thing.
- 20:44[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that you can get an injection for on game day and play through.
- 20:48[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think you need to be overly concerned about Drake London.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't seem like it's going to be any sort of long-term injury that we need to worry about, which is good because when your guy sees 15 targets, shit looks nice.
- 21:03[SPEAKER_00]: Darna Mooney's got to be close.
- 21:05[SPEAKER_00]: So you're starting Darna Mooney, if Drake London misses, you're probably starting Darna Mooney as a flex, if London is there.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_00]: If both of them miss the game, I mean, Casey Washington filled in pretty nice.
- 21:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't really want to start Casey Washington or Ray Ramacloud.
- 21:21[SPEAKER_00]: I, I'm not mentioning number eight on there.
- 21:23[SPEAKER_00]: All right, bangles and the browns.
- 21:32[SPEAKER_00]: like in my in my in my biggest league super flex I take fucking Jamar Chase at the number three pick end up losing I think I'm gonna depending on how deandry swift as I'm gonna end up losing by like 19 points because Jamar Chase obviously is the woe
- 21:48[SPEAKER_00]: Um, what happened here?
- 21:50[SPEAKER_00]: What happened is Joe Flacco is a check down fucking scam and basically they just kept going like four yards, four yards, four yards and ran a thousand plays.
- 22:03[SPEAKER_00]: Like you can see Flacco, 45 attempts, Joe Barrow, 23 attempts rushing 24 to 23.
- 22:09[SPEAKER_00]: Like Cleveland dominated game script because Cincinnati's defense is atrocious, obviously.
- 22:14[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and they were just like minimal plays over and over and over.
- 22:18[SPEAKER_00]: How do you have the ball with that many plays in that kind of possession when you're averaging two yards per carry and six point four yards per attempt?
- 22:26[SPEAKER_00]: So it's just a lot of gamescript where the clock was just getting chewed up by Cleveland, you know, going for four yards at the exact right time when they needed it, you know, when it was third and three.
- 22:37[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, not great for since the obviously, you know, this is how they start out a flesh year, a abysmal week one, even a bad week, week two for Joe Burrow last year, too.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_00]: But they play the Jags, so I think everything will be right.
- 22:48[SPEAKER_00]: It's obviously not panicking against Cincinnati, Chase Brown, if there was any concern about how fucking involved this dude who's going to be every single running back carry 21 out of 21 running back carries three targets in this one.
- 23:00[SPEAKER_00]: Like he is going to be a true workhorse.
- 23:02[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously got nothing going on the ground, but
- 23:04[SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's the bangles offensive line for you on the flip side, Joe Flacco, again, 45 past attempts.
- 23:09[SPEAKER_00]: This is what they're going to do when Judkins is not playing.
- 23:12[SPEAKER_00]: Judy five for 66.
- 23:14[SPEAKER_00]: Now, we have a few like real takeaways here.
- 23:17[SPEAKER_00]: Week one is when you start making decisions that really impact down the stretch and the browns feel like there's some names here that are going to be those names where people are going to get spicy in week one.
- 23:28[SPEAKER_00]: You guys know I've been on Dylan Samson pretty much since the draft happened one of my favorite prospects in the draft class.
- 23:35[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't run well in this one, but I mean drone forward 1.3 yards per carry, don't Samson 2.4, so you could look at it relative to, you know, his running mate, no one ran well on the on the rushing side of things, but don't Samson 8 catches for 64 yards.
- 23:53[SPEAKER_00]: Samson it's an interesting case because it's like Flacco has become this check down artist.
- 23:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's like what he does, right?
- 24:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's this check down merchant that loves to just go to his first second read if they're not there.
- 24:05[SPEAKER_00]: It's auto a shot to his running back and that just happened to be Dylan Samson when we look at the snaps when we look at the splits.
- 24:09[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of the more interesting ones to check out here.
- 24:13[SPEAKER_00]: Dylan Samson.
- 24:14[SPEAKER_00]: 45% of snaps, drone Ford 52%.
- 24:17[SPEAKER_00]: But, Bill and Samson, 52% of Russia temps, actually ran fewer routes, which is interesting, but that also means that drone Ford was likely playing on those earlier downs, where he's running a lot of routes as well, but in terms of actual production, like it wasn't even close, Bill and Samson, 53% target per route run rate.
- 24:37[SPEAKER_00]: 38% short down in distance for both of them a drone forward was the only got to get an inside the five yard line rush attempts.
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: I thought I saw Dylan Samson get into the end zone and it was called back on a penalty or something and that's when Reem Sanders came in and took the goal line work.
- 24:53[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but yeah, I mean, don't Samson if he's going to be the dude that gets all the like third down work and gets, you know, it's interesting because he didn't even really get that like the long down distance was your own for the two minutes snaps were drone for there, but don't Samson was a guy that got so many of the check downs from Joe Flacco and I do think he profiles much better as a third down back.
- 25:13[SPEAKER_00]: With Judkins, we're still kind of waiting.
- 25:14[SPEAKER_00]: We're up in the air on like what the resolution from the league is.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_00]: Apparently I believe is meeting with the league at some point this week to see if there's going to be discipline because even though got thrown out in real life court, the NFL can still discipline players regardless of what happened in the court system for the great United States of the America.
- 25:37[SPEAKER_00]: So there's a chance that they go in there and they drop it and Joaquins can play as early as next week.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_00]: I think what will happen realistically, Samson's still going to play a lot.
- 25:46[SPEAKER_00]: I think Juggins will come in and basically monopolize everything Jerome Ford's done and everything Reem Sanders is done, which could be good because I think that means Juggins could catch a lot of passes.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_00]: He could just be right place right time early down role guy that catches a bunch of check-downs from Joe Flacco, but I mean, the drafting of Juggins and Samson back to back in this same draft class kind of tells you like Jerome Ford's clearly not their guy in this backfield.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_00]: There's also world where Judkins goes in there and they discipline him and say hey, you're going to be suspended for two games or three games or four games And then it's more of this rotation which would get me really high on Dylan Samson for the next you know a bunch of weeks But again, this was the Cincinnati defense so hard to get over our skis, but yeah, I mean Samson's likely going and boring something happening on an F football Samson's probably going to be our our top running back pickup of the week And I don't think it's particularly close
- 26:41[SPEAKER_00]: is getting, what else we got to talk about?
- 26:44[SPEAKER_00]: Harold's fan and junior man, the leading receiver in all of college football last year, comes in and I wish he didn't go to the Browns because it makes it such a messy situation like he played much better than in Joker yesterday, but he still ran fewer routes.
- 27:00[SPEAKER_00]: So a more targets had a much higher target per outrun rate, you know, played really well.
- 27:05[SPEAKER_00]: I just, you know, when I look at it, it's like 7 for 63 in joku 3 for 37, it's hard to wrap your mind around it because it's a one-week sample size, like I don't think in joku's going anywhere unless they trade him in terms of play time.
- 27:20[SPEAKER_00]: Part of it feels a lot like last year Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely week one where it's like am I really going to overspend on a backup tight end.
- 27:28[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean like am I really going to just assume fan and starts to take more Snaps and becomes like this high target earner in this offense when they have all these other weapons.
- 27:40[SPEAKER_00]: Part of me that wants to believe that because I think fan and such a good receiver and he was so funny and college and he was so dynamic.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_00]: But there's a part of me that's like, man, I remember last year when people were spending 40% of their budget, 50% of their budget on Isaiah likely and then he just don't like the rest of the year.
- 28:00[SPEAKER_00]: So I get it.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a little bit of a high risk guy if you end up putting a lot of money.
- 28:06[SPEAKER_00]: in on him in a fab bid, but I don't really blame you.
- 28:09[SPEAKER_00]: There's been consistent hype about him all summer.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_00]: Joe Flacco clearly, really, really likes him.
- 28:13[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll continue to be a very high snap guy because I think what the land of doing is running a ton of 12 personnel.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_00]: Like it makes sense given their personnel, right?
- 28:24[SPEAKER_00]: Like two wider severs, Judy and Tilman, and then two tight ends in Joku and Hal Fanon.
- 28:29[SPEAKER_00]: Like those are the best pass catch and weapon groups you could possibly have in this often.
- 28:33[SPEAKER_00]: So I could see them both running a lot of routes
- 28:36[SPEAKER_00]: And if Ann is already a better receiver, route runner than in Joku, then yeah, he might out target him there.
- 28:42[SPEAKER_00]: And the Browns are going to be a team that passed the ball a lot, at least for the foreseeable future while he is out.
- 28:48[SPEAKER_00]: I also want to say, like, said, your Talman was one of our kind of like under the radar guys all summer and, you know, he continues to kind of eat when he is put in a position to do so.
- 28:56[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to say he was out there for like every one of the snapship, 96% route guy, same
- 29:06[SPEAKER_00]: Um, and produced right caught the touchdown and she was nice.
- 29:10[SPEAKER_00]: She was nice out there for Tilman.
- 29:12[SPEAKER_00]: So he will absolutely be a waiver wire target in this week as well.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_00]: We got indie and Miami.
- 29:19[SPEAKER_00]: The fucking joke of the week here.
- 29:20[SPEAKER_00]: 33 to eight in favor of indie and the throat starting to get a fire here.
- 29:28[SPEAKER_00]: So I will say this summer.
- 29:30[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, there were basically two teams that I was completely fading.
- 29:36[SPEAKER_00]: going into the year.
- 29:38[SPEAKER_00]: They were both in the AFC East.
- 29:40[SPEAKER_00]: We hit one out of the park miraculously and we got hit in the head with a fast ball, 107 miles per hour with the other one.
- 29:48[SPEAKER_00]: But we'll start with the good stuff here.
- 29:50[SPEAKER_00]: Miami, this was a team that I was pretty much staying away from except for Devon H and like he was the only guy I wanted nothing to do with to a Tyreek, Jim and Wattle, loved H and that feels like a very good bet that I had made in the
- 30:11[SPEAKER_00]: And I think what I'm gonna start doing throughout some of these Monday streams, and I'm taking this from the ring or fantasy football podcast, they have a section that they do called Intrusive Thoughts, which I think is awesome and I love it.
- 30:24[SPEAKER_00]: And it's basically like, like what are some of your intrusive thoughts that you have throughout a Sunday?
- 30:30[SPEAKER_00]: Like an Intrusive Thought is not, it's like one that I don't wanna be held to, but it's like one that I couldn't help myself but having.
- 30:36[SPEAKER_00]: And they're always like dramatic and they're over the top and they're over reaction,
- 30:39[SPEAKER_00]: And I want to start throwing out some more intrusive thoughts throughout some of these streams.
- 30:44[SPEAKER_00]: And we kind of stole that.
- 30:45[SPEAKER_00]: And we're using that in some of our betting podcasts as well.
- 30:48[SPEAKER_00]: Each week, we're making a parlay where we string together each person picks an intrusive bet that they want.
- 30:53[SPEAKER_00]: It works just like, yeah, you know what?
- 30:55[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jonathan Towers going to run for 200 yards this week.
- 30:58[SPEAKER_00]: But my interests of thought is I think Miami's past defense might be a historically bad past defense this year.
- 31:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like I think they might be in all time bad past defense over at least the last 25 years.
- 31:12[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they have no cornerback depth.
- 31:15[SPEAKER_00]: They had another injury in this one.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_00]: They had guys that were out for the season during the summer after they had already gotten rid of their top.
- 31:28[SPEAKER_00]: it's a fucking situation in the NFL.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it's close.
- 31:32[SPEAKER_00]: They got Mink of Fitzpatrick back, but outside that the safety position is a fucking mess as well, so like
- 31:38[SPEAKER_00]: This could be a team that puts up all-time good fantasy points for the other team against you.
- 31:44[SPEAKER_00]: Two of his future had done the ball to the other team, getting fumbling, getting hit all the time.
- 31:49[SPEAKER_00]: They're offensive lines and mess.
- 31:51[SPEAKER_00]: Tariq Hill was terrible for Forty-Jay and Wattel, for 30, Devon HN.
- 31:56[SPEAKER_00]: Got in because he caught an 11-yard touchdown, which was on a,
- 32:00[SPEAKER_00]: horribly designed play.
- 32:01[SPEAKER_00]: It was like fourth and eight, and they threw like a screen pass to Devon HM behind the line of scrimmage.
- 32:06[SPEAKER_00]: He's awesome, and he got in because of it, but like what the fuck are you doing, Mike McDaniel?
- 32:11[SPEAKER_00]: They, yeah, they're a, if I'm a Dolphins fan, man, I, you are in a band situation with all the money you have tied into two, and I don't even know what to do.
- 32:19[SPEAKER_00]: The vibes out there are horrendous.
- 32:23[SPEAKER_00]: But if you're an HM owner, like,
- 32:26[SPEAKER_00]: This is about as bad as it's gonna get when you look at, I don't know if they have time of possession down here, the time of possession was something like, just unrelatable, what a fuck is it?
- 32:37[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's on the gamecast.
- 32:39[SPEAKER_00]: I got gamecast, motherfucker.
- 32:44[SPEAKER_00]: Did I pass it?
- 32:45[SPEAKER_00]: There's time of possession somewhere.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_00]: Here we go, 3843 to 2117.
- 32:47[SPEAKER_00]: Like that shit just doesn't happen.
- 32:56[SPEAKER_00]: So, better days ahead relatively, but also good to see a changes get through absolutely, you know, no marks, not brews, not battered, no injuries, nothing like that.
- 33:06[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be Gordon barely played in this one, not like they really had a lot of snaps in here, but we'll take the snap count at face value.
- 33:13[SPEAKER_00]: 72% of the snaps for a Chan over, Ali Gordon's 26%, they did not have any carries inside the five guard lines, so we don't really get a hint at that, but a Chan again is such a good red zone target
- 33:25[SPEAKER_00]: we still feel good about him there.
- 33:28[SPEAKER_00]: Could they play next week?
- 33:30[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let me please the Patriots.
- 33:32[SPEAKER_00]: So maybe love Christian Gonzalez back, but yeah, I don't know how you start Tyre Kildew.
- 33:38[SPEAKER_00]: Jailing a lot outside like desperate flex plays.
- 33:41[SPEAKER_00]: On the flip side Daniel Jones played out of his mind, Jonathan Taylor played really well, but he did have two of his goal line scores, vultureed by Daniel Jones.
- 33:49[SPEAKER_00]: DJ Giddens is clearly the very, very high-end handcuff here.
- 33:55[SPEAKER_00]: If you're a Jonathan Taylor owner, DJ Giddens, makes a lot of sense to pick up Michael Pittman Jr.
- 34:00[SPEAKER_00]: Big day six or 80 touchdown eight targets.
- 34:03[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler Warren man.
- 34:05[SPEAKER_00]: He is going to be such a good fucking player.
- 34:07[SPEAKER_00]: I love watching him play.
- 34:09[SPEAKER_00]: He is so, so, so good.
- 34:11[SPEAKER_00]: He's in every week fantasy started at this point at tight end.
- 34:13[SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I can't believe it.
- 34:16[SPEAKER_00]: I'm such a fucking bot.
- 34:17[SPEAKER_00]: I drafted Mark Andrews over Tyler Warren in a league.
- 34:20[SPEAKER_00]: And I, I just know, as soon as I made that pick, I knew that was going to be that they were a threat of the fucking draft horrible drafting.
- 34:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but Tyler weren't a fucking animal dude, and yeah, I don't really know what to make of the rest of the wider sea Reciber situation.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're going to see a rotation of sorts in terms of production on a week-to-week basis They're not going to play the Miami Dolphins every week You see the ratio here of 40 to 29 like in a game where this game script wasn't 38 to 21
- 34:51[SPEAKER_00]: or the time of possession wasn't 38 to 21.
- 34:54[SPEAKER_00]: This could look more like 32 carries for the team to like 23 pass attempts.
- 34:59[SPEAKER_00]: And then you're talking about in-indented passing target total for all of these players here.
- 35:05[SPEAKER_00]: So I will say, like I think there will be games for Josh Downs, Josh Downs, I'll produce Michael Pittman and vice versa.
- 35:11[SPEAKER_00]: And out Pierce catches more deep ones.
- 35:14[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think Tyler Warren is here to stay and he's going to be a very consistent part of this passing offense.
- 35:21[SPEAKER_00]: Raiders and the Betlietts.
- 35:25[SPEAKER_00]: Gino led the league in passing yards.
- 35:28[SPEAKER_00]: I believe unless Josh Allen, last night, night and go over him.
- 35:32[SPEAKER_00]: 362, big day for Gino in terms of passing numbers.
- 35:38[SPEAKER_00]: We saw our first glimpse of Gente in the regular season, 19 for 38 got no running room here.
- 35:43[SPEAKER_00]: I will say like the
- 35:45[SPEAKER_00]: The D-Line and the just like the defense of the Patriots against the run is just very very improved, you know, again, not surprisingly, they got Christian Barmore back, they got Milton Williams via free agency.
- 35:59[SPEAKER_00]: They signed some linebackers that are pretty good at pressuring and or run stuffing, so it's not going to be a team that's really, really easy to run against anymore.
- 36:14[SPEAKER_00]: We got Brock Bowers eating out here five or one or three.
- 36:17[SPEAKER_00]: He did get hurt kind of tweaked his knee a little bit from what I'm hearing.
- 36:22[SPEAKER_00]: It's not overly concerning.
- 36:23[SPEAKER_00]: There is a chance he misses some time, but from what I've also heard, there's a chance that he could play as early as next week.
- 36:28[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to keep an eye on practice reports throughout the week.
- 36:31[SPEAKER_00]: Of course, we start to weak off limited or gets eliminated in by Thursday or Friday.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_00]: I'll feel relatively confident in Brock Bowers.
- 36:37[SPEAKER_00]: If he misses, I mean, Michael Mayer is obviously a smash pickup in this offense.
- 36:41[SPEAKER_00]: They just utilize the tight ends so heavily.
- 36:44[SPEAKER_00]: big game for jocobie mire straight talker gets a long touchdown catch nothing really else take away from laws of agus side of things on new England.
- 36:53[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got some kind of snaps to break down here for us.
- 36:57[SPEAKER_00]: I'll start with the Patriots side of things and we'll start or sort of the backfield for the Patriots.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_00]: So Ramanjray, Altsnap Trayvion Henderson,
- 37:10[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty significantly, 45 to 23 had more rush attempts ran more routes.
- 37:14[SPEAKER_00]: He was the early down guy, right?
- 37:15[SPEAKER_00]: That was something that we were kind of expecting at least early in the season.
- 37:20[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what happens with Trayvon Henderson when you're not playing against necessarily second and third stringers in the preseason.
- 37:27[SPEAKER_00]: Every game is not going to be fucking La La Land where you're busing off 60.
- 37:31[SPEAKER_00]: Our touchdowns and every runs of touchdown and all of this and that and everything.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_00]: He's still an incredible player, a sportsive guy, but they're going to be games like this
- 37:38[SPEAKER_00]: The game script just doesn't go in the favor of the the rushing game for the New England Patriots.
- 37:45[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not worried about him long term, but I will say like the Patriots offensive line.
- 37:51[SPEAKER_00]: didn't get much push and this is against a Raiders D line that really doesn't have much behind Max Crosby there so you know Henderson still running a decent amount of routes still getting targeted he's got a nice like volume floor I think in the receiving game six target six catches 24 yards on PPR you should be fine, but you know the ceiling in games where they don't really get him near the goal line could be a little bit troubling.
- 38:16[SPEAKER_00]: The receiver room, man.
- 38:17[SPEAKER_00]: One, I would say Hunter Henry's a really nice Titan pickup, I think, for those of you all that need to stream this week.
- 38:23[SPEAKER_00]: Drake made it through the ball 46 times, so some of these numbers are definitely going to be inflated.
- 38:27[SPEAKER_00]: Keshon Boote continues like a nice little run for the Patriots, man.
- 38:31[SPEAKER_00]: He seems like he could be the one this year, like he could develop into the one where really assumed it was going to be digs, but when you look at the route counts here,
- 38:38[SPEAKER_00]: But I think it is something to note there.
- 38:39[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't come away with much production.
- 38:41[SPEAKER_00]: But I was the guy that Drake may continuously look for.
- 38:43[SPEAKER_00]: Got a decent amount of the insulin targets.
- 38:45[SPEAKER_00]: Got 40% of the air yards.
- 38:46[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, when you're getting,
- 39:06[SPEAKER_00]: What do you get?
- 39:07[SPEAKER_00]: Eight nine targets in this one.
- 39:09[SPEAKER_00]: Eight targets and his average depth of target was 17.4 yards downfield like that is that's that's serious numbers like you got to keep an eye on that one.
- 39:20[SPEAKER_00]: So we take a guy that I think you should absolutely be looking at on waver wires.
- 39:27[SPEAKER_00]: He was a big time prospect at LSU, didn't really pan out as a lot of people thought he was going to, but he was a big time accrued, you know, playing Widersheaver at LSU by self just says something.
- 39:37[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely a player to keep an eye on Kyle Williams, not playing much.
- 39:42[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's droppable and re-deft.
- 39:46[SPEAKER_00]: Cardinals and Saints and I realize there are a lot more people in here now watching and streaming and again I just want to throw this plug in here one more time because this is such a good product.

- 40:46[SPEAKER_00]: So smooth.
- 40:47[SPEAKER_00]: So sexy.
- 40:47[SPEAKER_00]: So buttery.
- 40:49[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not buttery, Spencer fucking rattle.
- 40:52[SPEAKER_00]: The same sluice, 13 to 20 at home.
- 40:57[SPEAKER_00]: Rattler to 14 through the air as 29 on the ground.
- 41:01[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, not a ton to take away from the same side of things.
- 41:05[SPEAKER_00]: Kamara kind of dominates the touches, does get in the end zone.
- 41:08[SPEAKER_00]: Thought we were going to see a little bit more out of him in the receiving game, but Rattler through the ball 46 times, which again, really inflated some of the receiving numbers here.
- 41:17[SPEAKER_00]: Joanne Johnson, 11 targets, eight for 76.
- 41:19[SPEAKER_00]: He also dropped like a touchdown.
- 41:22[SPEAKER_00]: That was tough, you got hit from about 17 angles and the ball popped out, but had he caught that, it would have been a monster monster game.
- 41:29[SPEAKER_00]: And again, like I, Joanne was a guy that I had an ion as like a deep sleeper at the tight end spot, mainly because taste from hills not playing, they don't really have any other tight ends.
- 41:38[SPEAKER_00]: And the first thing this new regime did when they came on to the New Orleans team was signed Joanne Johnson to an extension.
- 41:45[SPEAKER_00]: They were like, all right, we got our new coach, got our new O.C.
- 41:51[SPEAKER_00]: And it comes out and has 11 targets in week one.
- 41:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure he's going to go back to going like two for 22 next week.
- 41:58[SPEAKER_00]: But worth noting, Chris Alabe, 13 targets, despite leaving the game about seven times.
- 42:03[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he was dead.
- 42:04[SPEAKER_00]: The dirty broke his ribs.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he broke his fucking collar bone.
- 42:06[SPEAKER_00]: I thought his head exploded.
- 42:08[SPEAKER_00]: But he got CTE in the middle of the game.
- 42:10[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he got at least three concussions.
- 42:11[SPEAKER_00]: I think he did all that to be honest with you too.
- 42:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I'm making that up.
- 42:15[SPEAKER_00]: So I got 13 targets.
- 42:16[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously, thin lead to much, 754.
- 42:21[SPEAKER_00]: for the Cardinals.
- 42:23[SPEAKER_00]: And Kyle Murray looked on and off took five sacks.
- 42:25[SPEAKER_00]: It's just simply too many, but he did allow Marvin Harrison Jr.
- 42:30[SPEAKER_00]: to produce.
- 42:31[SPEAKER_00]: Only six targets, but five or 71 in touch, Johnny absolutely gets home for you in the fantasy box score here.
- 42:39[SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's no one else you're starting besides him in McBride in the passing game.
- 42:42[SPEAKER_00]: Um, hopefully we continue to see, you know, good things from from Marvin Kyler Murray.
- 42:48[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't have much else to say, you know, that's a statline that he's put up a few times last year.
- 42:52[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see if that continues.
- 42:54[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, in the backfield, Trey Benson did get quite a bit of run here.
- 42:57[SPEAKER_00]: I will say he ripped off that 52 yard run.
- 43:00[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that loves to bounce runs outside, very explosive.
- 43:03[SPEAKER_00]: So when he does hit a hole, there's a decent chance that it goes for a long break.
- 43:08[SPEAKER_00]: If he doesn't have that one, then you're looking at a seven for 17, you know, carry line and you're not overly concerned about it.
- 43:14[SPEAKER_00]: But when we look at the snap counts, like James Conner still got in for a touchdown still dominated.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 64 to 34, most rush attempts ran the most routes, saw a lot of target.
- 43:24[SPEAKER_00]: It's got all the short down in distance, goal line carries, all that kind of stuff.
- 43:27[SPEAKER_00]: Tray Benson is pretty much operating as they're third down back, which is honestly, it's not the worst thing.
- 43:32[SPEAKER_00]: Like James Conner is still going to be the guy in the goal line and probably keeps him a little bit fresh.
- 43:37[SPEAKER_00]: You know, no concern for Connor obviously bent and sitting on your waver wire.
- 43:41[SPEAKER_00]: You need someone that you probably want to prioritize.
- 43:45[SPEAKER_00]: Steelers jets, okay.
- 43:46[SPEAKER_00]: We get to the other AFC East team where I was.
- 43:49[SPEAKER_00]: firmly fading every dolphin, except Devon HN.
- 43:52[SPEAKER_00]: I was fading every single New York jet.
- 43:55[SPEAKER_00]: And that couldn't have backfired fucking worse in week one.
- 43:57[SPEAKER_00]: But luckily, we don't play for, we don't do all the summer videos for week one DFS.
- 44:03[SPEAKER_00]: If we did, that would have been a trotace.
- 44:05[SPEAKER_00]: We played for the season long.
- 44:06[SPEAKER_00]: And honestly, the jets look pretty fucking good from a fantasy perspective.
- 44:10[SPEAKER_00]: Breeze Hall, where the fuck was this last year?
- 44:12[SPEAKER_00]: You were fat last year.
- 44:13[SPEAKER_00]: You were literally aty laced year four last year.
- 44:16[SPEAKER_00]: And now you're back to Breeze Hall.
- 44:18[SPEAKER_00]: This is fucking fancy football man.
- 44:20[SPEAKER_00]: He looked so good.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_00]: He looked athletic.
- 44:21[SPEAKER_00]: He looked explosive.
- 44:22[SPEAKER_00]: He looked shifty.
- 44:23[SPEAKER_00]: He looked spray.
- 44:25[SPEAKER_00]: He looked like he'd been listening to my videos and he fucking hates me.
- 44:28[SPEAKER_00]: That's what he looked like.
- 44:29[SPEAKER_00]: 19 for 107 on the ground, 238 through the air, dude is ripping off eight yards at a time.
- 44:34[SPEAKER_00]: Every single time he touched the damn ball.
- 44:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he was good.
- 44:38[SPEAKER_00]: He was good man.
- 44:40[SPEAKER_00]: his biggest issue is that he's just clearly not going to score touchdowns just some fields takes two rushing scores.
- 44:44[SPEAKER_00]: Braille and Allen gets the carry inside the ten gets the touchdown like that's going to be huge concern for Reshall.
- 44:50[SPEAKER_00]: So on days where the holes don't open up.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_00]: Huge.
- 44:55[SPEAKER_00]: We could see some down weeks for Breeze Hall, but just from the I test, the obviously looked phenomenal.
- 45:00[SPEAKER_00]: Justin Fields is always gonna have these high ceiling game, so we'll see if they continue.
- 45:04[SPEAKER_00]: Garrett Wilson, I mean, him and Fields looked phenomenal together, but again, not really surprised here.
- 45:08[SPEAKER_00]: Like Garrett Wilson is a guy who's gonna see 10 targets again.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if this accuracy holds up over the course of the season.
- 45:14[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how many games we're gonna see where Justin Fields is throwing the ball downfield and also completing 75 to 80% of his passes.
- 45:22[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we don't play for week one,
- 45:25[SPEAKER_00]: fucking phenomenal things if you end up going with the New York Jets.
- 45:28[SPEAKER_00]: They were all pretty much drafted out value.
- 45:29[SPEAKER_00]: Wilson dropped, pretty tall drops.
- 45:31[SPEAKER_00]: Justin feels pretty highly drafted, but this game had a fucking game total of 38 and a half or maybe in 37 and a half going into the week.
- 45:39[SPEAKER_00]: Legitimately, they almost each past that by themselves.
- 45:42[SPEAKER_00]: So everyone was expecting an absolute
- 45:51[SPEAKER_00]: 66 points fucking scored in this one unbelievable.
- 45:54[SPEAKER_00]: Aaron Rodgers, those were four touchdowns.
- 45:58[SPEAKER_00]: He looked fine, he looked like, I'll say he looked good.
- 46:01[SPEAKER_00]: Couple of the touchdowns were just like wide open dump offs on the on the goal line, one of those like tight end around where you just kind of like shovel it and he gets an end to get to touchdown for that.
- 46:10[SPEAKER_00]: The only average five yards per throw, like his average depth of throw was only five yards.
- 46:16[SPEAKER_00]: The only quarterback that I saw with a lower A dot.
- 46:19[SPEAKER_00]: This week was Jalen Hertz.
- 46:21[SPEAKER_00]: So don't want to get ahead of my skis with the Steelers offense because realistically when you look at the rest
- 46:27[SPEAKER_00]: their ground game was terrible 20 for 53 combined, D.K.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_00]: McKab broke a big play that was again not like a deep pass.
- 46:35[SPEAKER_00]: So I question the the long-term viability of of this passing off.
- 46:41[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see, you know, a backfield.
- 46:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Wunky, one of my plays of the week was Jalen Warren under 54 and a half rushing yards and we cash the shit out that I actually want to bring this up for y'all.
- 46:53[SPEAKER_00]: every week on Twitter and on Instagram we are going to post a big day parlay this was weeks one week ones big day parlay and yeah we hit five or five on this motherfucker all right so if you want the week two big day parlay make sure you are following me on Twitter at Nick
- 47:14[SPEAKER_00]: Follow all of my bets that I make on pick it.
- 47:17[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely free to join free to download the app use code BDE when you get on pick it And it will automatically follow my profile and guts profile so you can just kind of tail Whatever picks you want from ours, but
- 47:30[SPEAKER_00]: We're starting off hot here, big day parlay, Jalen Warren.
- 47:32[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just, I, I mean, they did, they just always use Jalen Warren as a fake workhorse, like he's never really operated as a workhorse and I didn't think anything was going to change.
- 47:40[SPEAKER_00]: What I am still pretty surprised by is just the amount of usage that they are given to Kenneth Gainwell, they clearly trust him.
- 47:48[SPEAKER_00]: They really like what they have in him.
- 47:50[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Arthur Smith is just the fucking weirdo dude.
- 47:52[SPEAKER_00]: Where is the stealers?
- 47:53[SPEAKER_00]: Why can I not find them?
- 47:54[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
- 47:56[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, 50% of the snaps for Gainwell, 46 for Warren, yeah, just an absolute committee here one A one B type of thing I do think Warren will definitely end up getting more touches going forward in that backfield and I think like despite the you know relatively underwhelming game in week one he got into the end zone so didn't end up being underwhelming but I expect better things for more and going forward for sure I just didn't really like the matchup in this one and I thought in week one
- 48:22[SPEAKER_00]: Smith is going to force some sort of like stupid fucking committee and it happened more concerning his Caleb Johnson he's just not playing at all I can't believe just how little they trust him right now only got two snaps out of the 54 running backs and abs here so I'm going to hold him for another couple weeks and see if this You know if they utilize him a little bit more they get him you know a few more carries or whatever but like obviously not a great start for Mr. Johnstein
- 48:51[SPEAKER_00]: Commanders and the Giants, for the Giants, I mean, this was about as brutal as showing as you can get.
- 48:58[SPEAKER_00]: I will say a few things, like Russ obviously was terrible, 17 for 37.
- 49:05[SPEAKER_00]: He had pressure in his face on basically every dropback.
- 49:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I know the popular thing to say right now is you have to start Jackson Dart.
- 49:14[SPEAKER_00]: You have to get him onto the field.
- 49:16[SPEAKER_00]: The problem is like, well, I do think that is probably the case and he needs to get on the field sooner rather than later and I'm excited to see him.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you could put him on the field behind this offensive line right now, like it is horrendous and this is one of those offensive lines with Andrew Thomas who is ruled out there, you know, they're starting star tackle.
- 49:37[SPEAKER_00]: This is one of those lines where you see a split where it's like, oh, when Andrew Thomas is out.
- 49:42[SPEAKER_00]: This offensive line crumbles the EPA per play for the offense crumbles like you see this with like it's like laying johnson it's Penace well it's like one of those tackles where it's like when this guy misses this offense plummets that's Andrew Thomas to the giants and you saw it if you watch any of that game yesterday Russ was under pressure like that every time and I just think it would be fucking malpractice to throw Jackson dart.
- 50:05[SPEAKER_00]: behind that offensive line.
- 50:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's like a disaster.
- 50:10[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I think they're going to watch to tape and probably realize that, but I do get that there's going to be this like outstanding pull to want to put them behind there.
- 50:18[SPEAKER_00]: I think Jackson Dart will be great for Malik, but I will say, like just the involvement for Malik once they get a viable passer or a viable amount of time for the passer to get the bottom of the league.
- 50:27[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's going to fucking, he's going to go
- 50:32[SPEAKER_00]: for the backfield in New York.
- 50:34[SPEAKER_00]: Again, they're offensive line.
- 50:35[SPEAKER_00]: Terrible got absolutely no push, but for the time being, Tyrell and Theresa is still very much the workhorse.
- 50:41[SPEAKER_00]: 73% of the snaps, most of the Russia Temps, 67% of the routes compared to just 7% for Scadabo and 13% for Devon Singletary saw most of the short down in distance snaps.
- 50:52[SPEAKER_00]: Scadabo did get the run inside the 5-yard line, but for the most part, Theresa is still the guy.
- 50:57[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like a matter of
- 50:58[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want the guy in this giant's backfield?
- 51:00[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know who's playable besides the Malik outside of when when Andrew Thomas is not playing in this offensive line does not take a step up whatsoever.
- 51:08[SPEAKER_00]: So that could be a little bit problematic for now.
- 51:11[SPEAKER_00]: But for now, Tyrone Tracy is still the guy here.
- 51:14[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, Jane Daniels played well enough 233 and touchdown 68 on the ground.
- 51:21[SPEAKER_00]: Big story here again, backfield, JCM.
- 51:23[SPEAKER_00]: Jacore Croskey, Marat, big bill out here, 10-42, and a touchdown.
- 51:27[SPEAKER_00]: He was okay in this game.
- 51:29[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the box score looks a little bit better then.
- 51:32[SPEAKER_00]: what his involvement really was.
- 51:35[SPEAKER_00]: He did get, you know, the carry inside the 10-yard line.
- 51:37[SPEAKER_00]: He made a beautiful bounce to the outside and found the end zone.
- 51:39[SPEAKER_00]: That was great.
- 51:40[SPEAKER_00]: Don't want to take anything away from him.
- 51:42[SPEAKER_00]: The 42 yard run at the end of the game, which really padded his stats was just that.
- 51:46[SPEAKER_00]: It was just like running out time.
- 51:47[SPEAKER_00]: We need a first down and just a big hole opened up and he got through.
- 51:50[SPEAKER_00]: So, does end with a really impressive box score, obviously.
- 51:53[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say,
- 51:55[SPEAKER_00]: random Chris Rodriguez, healthy scratch, not a special team or so, you know, he just sat.
- 52:00[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he was going to be like one of the carry getters back here.
- 52:03[SPEAKER_00]: But in terms of snaps, I mean, it was eclare with 50%.
- 52:05[SPEAKER_00]: I think they really trust him.
- 52:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to stay on the field a pretty decent amount.
- 52:09[SPEAKER_00]: JCM 29% McNickles 20.
- 52:12[SPEAKER_00]: I do think this is what's going to end up being the split.
- 52:13[SPEAKER_00]: I do think it's going to be almost
- 52:15[SPEAKER_00]: 90% of the snaps go to Eccler and JCM, like I expect this to boost up to around 40% next week.
- 52:20[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it'll be like 50, 40, 10.
- 52:22[SPEAKER_00]: And I think JCM will continue to see more and more of the rushing work in this offense, which is great because this is an offense that's going to continue to score and do really well.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_00]: So JCM is absolutely a guy moving up after this game.
- 52:32[SPEAKER_00]: This is how you earn more snaps back here.
- 52:35[SPEAKER_00]: Terry, you know, bad game.
- 52:36[SPEAKER_00]: They just didn't connect on some of the deep shots.
- 52:38[SPEAKER_00]: Low target number.
- 52:39[SPEAKER_00]: Fortunately, you might need to, you know, take.
- 52:42[SPEAKER_00]: take a little time to get back to conditioning level for the game after missing most of the summer.
- 52:48[SPEAKER_00]: And then Debo had a big game, 10 targets seven for 77.
- 52:52[SPEAKER_00]: Also took an end around for 19 year touchdown.
- 52:54[SPEAKER_00]: Debo was not a guy I wanted really any part of during draft season, but I will say I still had him ranked as like a top 18 or 20 guy going into the week.
- 53:01[SPEAKER_00]: So very high in this week, I just love the matchup.
- 53:04[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see if this kind of thing continues as Terry gets more well conditioned and the matchups aren't the New York giant.
- 53:09[SPEAKER_00]: So good start for him,
- 53:12[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, let me get a grab some water.
- 53:14[SPEAKER_00]: My throat is on.
- 53:15[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah.
- 53:16[SPEAKER_00]: While I do so, while you guys are just hanging out here, it would mean.
- 53:19[SPEAKER_00]: the world to me.
- 53:20[SPEAKER_00]: I'm literally lighting my throat on fire for y'all.
- 53:23[SPEAKER_00]: Just hit the thumbs up button down there.
- 53:25[SPEAKER_00]: Let's you too know that you like these videos.
- 53:26[SPEAKER_00]: Let's me know.
- 53:27[SPEAKER_00]: I look at the thumbs up to see what videos you guys like the most.
- 53:30[SPEAKER_00]: When there are a lot of thumbs up, tell me to keep doing these types of videos, right?
- 53:33[SPEAKER_00]: So every single Monday morning around New Eastern time, I will be doing recaps for the prior weeks games, right?
- 53:39[SPEAKER_00]: So if you enjoy it again, while you're chilling, I'm going to grab a bottle of water real quick.
- 53:44[SPEAKER_00]: Hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new.
- 53:59[SPEAKER_00]: All right, we're back from our six second break as you might go through three water bottles through this shit.
- 54:07[SPEAKER_00]: I think I know why my throat's hurting a lot more.
- 54:10[SPEAKER_00]: We're doing we're filming a lot more content throughout the season now.
- 54:13[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously we do.
- 54:14[SPEAKER_00]: I do the fantasy football content.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_00]: which are long videos like this one's going to end up probably being over an hour long.
- 54:22[SPEAKER_00]: The rankings videos are each like 40, 45 minutes, but then we're doing content on the BDG betting channel, which on YouTube, it's just specific to betting stuff.
- 54:32[SPEAKER_00]: Those videos are like, maybe one or two of them are like an hour long week, trivia videos are kind of long too.
- 54:39[SPEAKER_00]: So, but using my throat a lot, Paul is yeah, cool, very cool resume.
- 54:48[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe I got egzima, I don't know.
- 54:51[SPEAKER_00]: All right, Jacksonville Panthers, 26 to 10 for the Jacksonville Jaguars is first when we had a little bit of a lightning delay in this one, just a brutal run out for, bright sun in the Panthers.
- 55:05[SPEAKER_00]: This looked like on paper, it was gonna be a really, really fun slate, a really, really fun game.
- 55:10[SPEAKER_00]: for fantasy, turned out that didn't fucking happen.
- 55:13[SPEAKER_00]: This game sunk, this game sucked.
- 55:17[SPEAKER_00]: There's literally like one good player in this game and it was Travis ETN.
- 55:21[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll start in Jacksonville where, yeah, I mean, they didn't really have to do much.
- 55:25[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence was playing pretty well early on and then the lightning delay happened and then really no one played well after the fact.
- 55:31[SPEAKER_00]: But,
- 55:33[SPEAKER_00]: Travis ETN really took hold of the backfield.
- 55:36[SPEAKER_00]: He busted off his 71 yard run early on, and then it was just his backfield to, you know, to be had there.
- 55:41[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's really probably what Liam Cohen was kind of waiting for.
- 55:44[SPEAKER_00]: I think he was just waiting for someone to really like be the guy back here and and take control and say like this is my fucking game on the best player back here, and we're going to ride the hot end and.
- 55:54[SPEAKER_00]: ETN absolutely has it right now.
- 55:56[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll see how long that continues and obviously ETN is going to move forward as a starter and he was a starter in this game out snapping all the other guys by a significant portion.
- 56:05[SPEAKER_00]: But I can still see a world where like if ETN comes out the gate and struggles and like tank bigsby rips off a 15 yard run next week after ETN has a bunch of like dust carries then maybe he rides a hot hand there.
- 56:16[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not going to like.
- 56:18[SPEAKER_00]: You know, cement, Travis ETN is a league winner right now, but obviously very, very good start if you ended up drafting him late in your drafts and they're playing the bangles next week.
- 56:26[SPEAKER_00]: So he's going to be someone that you feel really, really comfortable getting into your lineup.
- 56:30[SPEAKER_00]: Um, now that he's kind of separated himself from these other three backs.
- 56:35[SPEAKER_00]: Bad game from Brian Thomas Jr.
- 56:37[SPEAKER_00]: obviously seven targets, but we're gonna need to get a little bit better Liam Cohen Jr.
- 56:41[SPEAKER_00]: like it felt like every pass was just a a screen pass at the line of scrimmage and and I like that because that's easy PPR numbers You see Travis Hunter eight targets six catches.
- 56:49[SPEAKER_00]: But only 33 yards like we're gonna have to get the ball moving down field a little bit But also think they really do want to establish the run here in this off and similar to how Tampa Bay did so effectively last year with bucky so
- 57:00[SPEAKER_00]: You know, in games where Travis ETN rips off really big runs, in games where he's just eating up chunks of six, seven yards at a time, you know, the passing game is just not going to be as effective.
- 57:10[SPEAKER_00]: I think Breton Strange will be a nice tight-end streaming option for the remainder of the season.
- 57:15[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, Hunter, I think will only continue to get better and Brian Thomas Jr.
- 57:19[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really worried about in the slightest.
- 57:22[SPEAKER_00]: On the flip side.
- 57:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Bryce Young still not great at football.
- 57:26[SPEAKER_00]: Chubahubard, good to see him just kind of dominate touches.
- 57:28[SPEAKER_00]: 21 opportunities in this one.
- 57:30[SPEAKER_00]: Rico Doudle, three carries for 12 yards.
- 57:33[SPEAKER_00]: So it seems to still be Chubahubard's backfield entirely, which is good to see from the receiving standpoint.
- 57:40[SPEAKER_00]: Again, you know, no jail and poker in this one.
- 57:44[SPEAKER_00]: Tero McMillan dominated the target's nine targets five catcher 68 yards That's probably you know what we can come to expect.
- 57:51[SPEAKER_00]: I do think you'll see you know around nine ten targets a game, especially when Jalen Coker is out But hopefully we see you know more red zone involvement.
- 57:59[SPEAKER_00]: We just we need to see the offense move more and this was
- 58:02[SPEAKER_00]: Such a disappointing outing because they were playing the fucking Jacksonville Jaguar's man.
- 58:06[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is the defense that you do it against and they didn't.
- 58:09[SPEAKER_00]: So not great.
- 58:11[SPEAKER_00]: So still starting to, on a weekly basis, because of his target share, but like in matchups where he's going to see a top corner back, it could get kind of ugly.
- 58:21[SPEAKER_00]: Like when George Picken saw Quignon Mitchell, Calvin Ridley seeing Pat Sertan, like that might be a set week for a guy like Technic Millen.
- 58:31[SPEAKER_00]: speaking of, we have the Titans and the Broncos.
- 58:35[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm really, I mean, if anyone expected anything out of the Titans in this one, I think you're a little bit insane on the road in Denver, eight and a half foot under dogs.
- 58:46[SPEAKER_00]: camords very, very first hard against probably the least best defense, um, yeah, just not, I mean, I don't know how you could have expected anything.
- 58:54[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think you played fine to be honest, so you took way too many like really, really big sex, which will have to learn from and not scramble around the pocket, negative 17 yards, which is what you didn't college sometimes.
- 59:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's got to not do that, but the Denver pass rush is just really good.
- 59:09[SPEAKER_00]: Pollared unsurprisingly, you know, 19 opportunities in this one couldn't really get anything going on the ground.
- 59:15[SPEAKER_00]: Also unsurprising for the receivers Calvin Ridley paces the team with eight targets, but only for for 27.
- 59:21[SPEAKER_00]: So it's going to happen when you see the defending deepway in Pat Sir Tan.
- 59:29[SPEAKER_00]: Seven targets second on the team and he was a big snap guy and he's someone that I think we should keep our eye on cuz in better matchups.
- 59:35[SPEAKER_00]: I do think he'll be Seeing much better Balls going his way so 82% of the routes which was number two on the team behind Calvin Ridley here a 25% target per route rate I think that's probably a product of not wanting to give Calvin Ridley every target with Sir Tann on him But I mean 19 yards downfield is averaged up the target 46% of the area yards obviously with
- 59:59[SPEAKER_00]: a 19-A dot, your catchable target rate is going to dip from 75 down to 57 per cent, which was the case here.
- 1:00:04[SPEAKER_00]: But bigger plays are coming against non defences that are not as threatening.
- 1:00:09[SPEAKER_00]: Tennessee plays the ramps, pretty good.
- 1:00:12[SPEAKER_00]: The cults at the Texan's Cardinal, so a mix of very good defences and definitely ones that you can throw the ball against.
- 1:00:18[SPEAKER_00]: So I think better things are coming in.
- 1:00:19[SPEAKER_00]: I, a minor will be on the waiver wire target video for me tomorrow.
- 1:00:24[SPEAKER_00]: on the flip side of things, nothing interesting from the receiver standpoint, Portland Sutton's just do for 15 PPR points every single week.
- 1:00:33[SPEAKER_00]: Angerum, I believe, got banged up.
- 1:00:35[SPEAKER_00]: I actually, I'm not sure what exactly happens to him.
- 1:00:38[SPEAKER_00]: He looked it up right quick.
- 1:00:47[SPEAKER_00]: Evan Angerum,
- 1:00:56[SPEAKER_00]: came up limping if the team said it was a calf injury.
- 1:00:58[SPEAKER_00]: So he's got a calf injury.
- 1:01:01[SPEAKER_00]: You know, we've got to keep an eye out for severity.
- 1:01:04[SPEAKER_00]: These could be two week things.
- 1:01:05[SPEAKER_00]: These could be one week things.
- 1:01:06[SPEAKER_00]: These could be four week things.
- 1:01:07[SPEAKER_00]: So should just lead to more targets for a guy like Portland Sutton, backfield.
- 1:01:14[SPEAKER_00]: Dobbins 16 for 63 gets that nice little touchdown run.
- 1:01:18[SPEAKER_00]: RJ Harvey was obviously like the exciting guy that everybody wants to be this season saver here.
- 1:01:27[SPEAKER_00]: Now, they're definitely positive to take away that 50 yard run.
- 1:01:30[SPEAKER_00]: He, he scurried for up the middle was a beautiful fucking run.
- 1:01:33[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's what he brings to the game.
- 1:01:34[SPEAKER_00]: Like the ability to rip off 50 yard runs it on any given play.
- 1:01:40[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler Bady was playing a weird amount of snaps early on.
- 1:01:44[SPEAKER_00]: He was the long down in distance guy.
- 1:01:46[SPEAKER_00]: That's not gonna last much longer.
- 1:01:47[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think I swear, though, I do really still think that the Broncos have a,
- 1:01:56[SPEAKER_00]: A huge issue with the way that I'm not going to go back to fucking everything for me yesterday, but I think they have a huge issue with the way that our jaharty blocks.
- 1:02:05[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's what's going to keep them off the fields for now.
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_00]: Where was it?
- 1:02:09[SPEAKER_00]: Benjamin all about it was talking about it at some point yesterday.
- 1:02:12[SPEAKER_00]: Hmm.
- 1:02:30[SPEAKER_00]: We're in ball works, there's a big RJ Harvey run.
- 1:02:32[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not anti anything.
- 1:02:33[SPEAKER_00]: I pros smart football.
- 1:02:35[SPEAKER_00]: What the fuck are we doing here?
- 1:02:37[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 1:02:38[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what I'm looking for.
- 1:02:38[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
- 1:02:40[SPEAKER_00]: I remember seeing something yesterday that he was talking about.
- 1:02:50[SPEAKER_00]: It's on here.
- 1:02:51[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not leaving until I find it.
- 1:02:55[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone just take a breath.
- 1:02:57[SPEAKER_00]: Take a beat.
- 1:03:00[SPEAKER_00]: Harvey is very clearly our best back in Bades out snapping him when I tell you that past protection matters in this offense in the fantasy football guys laugh at it just remember these splits.
- 1:03:10[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I think that's like the biggest problem is Harvey was not a good protector and.
- 1:03:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that it matters.
- 1:03:16[SPEAKER_00]: It's not up to fucking me.
- 1:03:17[SPEAKER_00]: It's up to Sean Pate.
- 1:03:18[SPEAKER_00]: So he's not on the field enough to like get enough volume.
- 1:03:21[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a problem.
- 1:03:22[SPEAKER_00]: But again, like this is those are the kind of runs that earn you more playing time.
- 1:03:25[SPEAKER_00]: So I eventually expect if not by like next week by week for this to be just completely dominance in Harvey in this backfield.
- 1:03:33[SPEAKER_00]: But Dobbins, you know, is going to be just like a regularly high volume, you know, boring RB that if the Broncos find themselves near the goal line, he's a decent bet to score touchdown.
- 1:03:43[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, yeah, yeah, bone next played fucking atrocious, by the way, possibly the worst quarterback on the slate.
- 1:03:52[SPEAKER_00]: Not possibly, actually, I forgot Bryce only existed.
- 1:03:55[SPEAKER_00]: Eight down.
- 1:03:57[SPEAKER_00]: Are you down?
- 1:03:59[SPEAKER_00]: All right, 40 Niners and the Seattle Seahawks Rock Party out here playing like Josh Allen played pretty well.
- 1:04:07[SPEAKER_00]: Fantasy wise, 277, two touchdowns, two interceptions, 17 on the ground, Christian McAfrey.
- 1:04:12[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, a big story the day for show.
- 1:04:13[SPEAKER_00]: We had all the news about his, his, his calf, you know, tweaking on on Thursday.
- 1:04:19[SPEAKER_00]: And I put out a tweet that went kind of viral.
- 1:04:23[SPEAKER_00]: I remember that I just basically quote tweeted a video from last year.
- 1:04:28[SPEAKER_00]: It was September 6 last year and he was asked about his Catholicities and he said, it's fine.
- 1:04:31[SPEAKER_00]: It feels great.
- 1:04:32[SPEAKER_00]: It's good to go.
- 1:04:32[SPEAKER_00]: And obviously, missed all of last year.
- 1:04:34[SPEAKER_00]: It was literally the same day to that date a year later that he was saying that his cap was great to go underneath it.
- 1:04:40[SPEAKER_00]: I said, he's probably going to play and be fine.
- 1:04:41[SPEAKER_00]: But I thought it was very funny that it was a year later.
- 1:04:44[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what happened.
- 1:04:44[SPEAKER_00]: He played and listen, I don't think.
- 1:04:47[SPEAKER_00]: He looks like the old player that he was like, I just don't think he brings that to you something around any more after all these injuries and The softens of line is really not doing him any favors right now.
- 1:04:56[SPEAKER_00]: They're not a very good offensive line.
- 1:04:58[SPEAKER_00]: Realistically, but like when you're this involved in the passing game, which is just what their game plan is.
- 1:05:03[SPEAKER_00]: 10 targets nine catches 73 yards 22 carries like 32 opportunities at the gate is fucking crazy work.
- 1:05:11[SPEAKER_00]: They just don't know how to not give him the ball, even with 31 touches like we still got Brian Robinson getting double digit touches here.
- 1:05:18[SPEAKER_00]: So see Mack, I mean, listen, if he's on the field, like, and he's going to get eight to 10 targets a game, it's Jehovah, it's Jehovah's Witness here.
- 1:05:25[SPEAKER_00]: So great, if you're a CMAC owner, Ricky P big day, four for 108, making big plays left and right, two injuries for this game, which are going to immediately boost guys like CMAC and Ricky P to every week's starters.
- 1:05:38[SPEAKER_00]: George Kittle, hamstring.
- 1:05:40[SPEAKER_00]: You know, you guys are going to know as much as I am when it comes to a hamstring pull, probably unlikely to be a grade two, which would keep them out, you know, five, eight weeks, probably a grade one, which is typically something that would keep you out for, you know, 10 days, two weeks, three weeks, and then you're usually good to go.
- 1:05:57[SPEAKER_00]: It's your typical hamstring pull as far as I understand.
- 1:06:00[SPEAKER_00]: So, unfortunate for kiddo owners because he was obviously starting hot out the gate.
- 1:06:05[SPEAKER_00]: Joanne Jennings with a shoulder injury, I'm not really sure this, you know, any any real details on this one.
- 1:06:12[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to see if Twitter has any updates on it, but could be an AC spray.
- 1:06:22[SPEAKER_00]: Let's see.
- 1:06:35[SPEAKER_00]: fuck.
- 1:06:36[SPEAKER_00]: That's not good.
- 1:06:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it doesn't sound optimistic.
- 1:06:39[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll wait on word, but Kendrick Born signing doesn't feel like it's great.
- 1:06:44[SPEAKER_00]: Could end up landing on the IR.
- 1:06:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yikes.
- 1:06:47[SPEAKER_00]: Yikes.
- 1:06:48[SPEAKER_00]: Yikes and stains.
- 1:06:51[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
- 1:06:52[SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's an L Seattle.
- 1:06:54[SPEAKER_00]: We have Sam Donald.
- 1:06:55[SPEAKER_00]: We have the backfield, which is a shit show.
- 1:06:58[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, everybody in the wider
- 1:07:03[SPEAKER_00]: Jason is like quickly transforming into Amon Rossing Brown, the Seattle's version of Amon Rossing Brown right in front of a rise.
- 1:07:11[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's like one of the things that you need to do with if like you're still unsold on a player.
- 1:07:18[SPEAKER_00]: If you're like, ah, this guy's performing well, but I don't really believe that he's the guy that his numbers back came up to be or like that everybody else says he is.
- 1:07:26[SPEAKER_00]: You got to find a comp for him and be like, oh, he's probably just like this modern day guy or this like up-and-coming dude.
- 1:07:32[SPEAKER_00]: And I was kind of me with JS and like had a hard time buying it
- 1:07:38[SPEAKER_00]: He, like, wasn't really doing shit in the beginning of the year and then he finally popped off once D. K. Metcalf got hurt.
- 1:07:43[SPEAKER_00]: Then I was like, okay, like, Jason looks good, but like, ah, you know, and then it's like, okay, he's just on my roster and Brown, I guess, and Seattle.
- 1:07:50[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so he's going to continue to be a fucking beast out there, because he had 124 of Donald's 150 targets.
- 1:07:57[SPEAKER_00]: That is ridiculous.
- 1:07:59[SPEAKER_00]: Backfield, is this concern for Kenneth Walker?
- 1:08:01[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, a little bit 12 carries for Sharberna, 47 yards.
- 1:08:05[SPEAKER_00]: Kenneth Walker, 10 for 20.
- 1:08:08[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it's not like, I don't think, kind of walkers a bad player.
- 1:08:13[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think he's a bad running bag.
- 1:08:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a very good running bag.
- 1:08:16[SPEAKER_00]: But the yards before contact, like, he gets hit in the backfield every fucking play.
- 1:08:22[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's the case, like, they're just going to try to mix things up.
- 1:08:26[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to put Sharban A in and I think like,
- 1:08:29[SPEAKER_00]: And my, what I panic if I'm a walker owner, yeah, a little bit, but this, this also feels like a situation where it's going to be a hot hand approach on a week to week where it's like, yeah, you could probably start walker as a flex in situations and like if he gets high out of the gate, there's a really good chance he gets 18 touches, you know, like I don't, I don't expect it to be the norm that sharpening out carries kind of walker or out plays him typically.
- 1:08:54[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but it's obviously a lot, a lot closer or too close for comfort.
- 1:08:59[SPEAKER_00]: I would say for this backfield right now.
- 1:09:02[SPEAKER_00]: Snaps 5941 in favor of Charbon A, more rush attempts, more routes.
- 1:09:08[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I got short down, long down inside the five.
- 1:09:12[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it was all fucking Charbon A man.
- 1:09:14[SPEAKER_00]: The numbers are not great for Kenneth Walker right now, but, you know, hold out hope here.
- 1:09:19[SPEAKER_00]: Um, yeah, I don't, I don't really have a lot of positive to say, not great.
- 1:09:25[SPEAKER_00]: Packer's lines and once I'm about not great, this would be that the Packers I got to be honest man the Packers look like they were playing a different in a different league yesterday holy shit They were just having whatever they wanted to I think was a mixture of like Detroit lost some serious fucking sauce without Ben Johnson and Green Bay with Micah Parsons is like next level
- 1:09:49[SPEAKER_00]: this was the opposite of the way that I predicted this.
- 1:09:51[SPEAKER_00]: I thought Detroit was going to come out and be like, fuck y'all, we're going to run it down your throat.
- 1:09:56[SPEAKER_00]: We don't care about Ben Johnson, give it to them on Gummery, fucking 42 carriers off the rip.
- 1:10:01[SPEAKER_00]: They tried.
- 1:10:02[SPEAKER_00]: That shit did not work.
- 1:10:04[SPEAKER_00]: That's on me, fam.
- 1:10:06[SPEAKER_00]: Junior Gibbs out here, 10 catches, 31 receiving yards, lowest total receiving yards by any player in NFL history with 10 catches in a game.
- 1:10:18[SPEAKER_00]: Brutile, brutal, brutal things.
- 1:10:23[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, golfed in play well.
- 1:10:24[SPEAKER_00]: The backfield didn't play well.
- 1:10:25[SPEAKER_00]: Samuel Porter played our eye.
- 1:10:26[SPEAKER_00]: I'm on rock play, all right.
- 1:10:28[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is a mixture of a few things.
- 1:10:32[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay is very clearly a very fucking good team.
- 1:10:36[SPEAKER_00]: They're Super Bowl odds.
- 1:10:37[SPEAKER_00]: The minute the Micah Parsons trade happened went from, I think 17 and a half to one down to 12 to one.
- 1:10:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like their defense became legit.
- 1:10:45[SPEAKER_00]: Edron Cooper might be like one of my favorite defensive players in the league.
- 1:10:49[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think by the end of the year, he's going to be a household name.
- 1:10:52[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be a damn near all pro player, Mike Parsons, Roshan Garry, like shit, she's pumping out there in Green Bay, man.
- 1:10:59[SPEAKER_00]: They are a good defensive squad, holy hell.
- 1:11:05[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm not going to panic yet on Detroit again, they got new LC new DC, some new players on the offensive line might take a minute to gel and they will have better matchups ahead than being in Lambo at Green Bay tough week one love was good Jacob's was good the receiver group and disappointing day for Matthew Bold and obviously I think that's probably the biggest talking point here is.
- 1:11:27[SPEAKER_00]: Thought he was going to be in every down player.
- 1:11:28[SPEAKER_00]: Jayden Reed kind of surprisingly gutted out this one with a stress fracture in his fucking foot.
- 1:11:34[SPEAKER_00]: And if you see the rouse run, we've got dobs at 74.
- 1:11:36[SPEAKER_00]: That's not surprising that he led the team.
- 1:11:38[SPEAKER_00]: Golden at 57, Jayden Reed at 52, Danteving, which at 43.
- 1:11:42[SPEAKER_00]: So it again looks like more of a plateau in here, where it's going to be very difficult to predict on a week-to-week basis, what's happening.
- 1:11:49[SPEAKER_00]: But you could also see that like the entire second half was just Josh Jacobs carries pretty much in.
- 1:11:53[SPEAKER_00]: This is something that's going to happen, man.
- 1:11:57[SPEAKER_00]: what Green Bay was last year.
- 1:11:58[SPEAKER_00]: They want to win handedly and give Josh Jacobs a million carries here.
- 1:12:03[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's they kind of have a little bit of that Philadelphia Eagles effect here, where it's like the game plan works for them.
- 1:12:11[SPEAKER_00]: They're a really good team.
- 1:12:12[SPEAKER_00]: They could do what they want.
- 1:12:13[SPEAKER_00]: And this is what they want.
- 1:12:14[SPEAKER_00]: You can win games when you're quarterback only has to throw the ball 22 times.
- 1:12:17[SPEAKER_00]: You're probably going to try to do that.
- 1:12:19[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah.
- 1:12:21[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
- 1:12:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think every Green Bay receiver right now is like shaky flex territory.
- 1:12:30[SPEAKER_00]: Rams Texans, just a defensive Stalker matchup.
- 1:12:35[SPEAKER_00]: The offensive line of Houston struggled mightily as one might have expected.
- 1:12:40[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to take some time to gel.
- 1:12:43[SPEAKER_00]: And this one, Christian Kirk sat out, Nick Chub, operated as the workhorse here, 13 carries.
- 1:12:47[SPEAKER_00]: The next leading russia was Dario Muboale with two carries.
- 1:12:50[SPEAKER_00]: So Chub will be, this will be, Chub, stat line pretty much every single week.
- 1:12:54[SPEAKER_00]: He'll be like 11 for 44, 13 for 62,
- 1:12:59[SPEAKER_00]: maybe they get on the inside the five guard line and you get them to the end zone, maybe you can have a Jemonti Williams game where you go's 14 for 52 and gets in the end zone twice.
- 1:13:08[SPEAKER_00]: Like that's just what you know what you're getting with them.
- 1:13:10[SPEAKER_00]: You're just not going to be able to predict exactly when the touchdowns come, but you know, that's that's what he is for right now.
- 1:13:16[SPEAKER_00]: Terribly disappointing day for Nico, but again, it was awfully disappointing for basically every top wide receiver in fantasy outside of the goat on the other side of things, Pooka and I've got to say,
- 1:13:27[SPEAKER_00]: probably one of the better calls that I've that I will have this summer is that, you know, the 16 games, 17 games that Matt Stafford, we're very likely going to see a 2021 season out of Pook and a 2021 Cooper Cup season out of Pook this year.
- 1:13:43[SPEAKER_00]: He was, you know, I think it took some fucking nuts to draft him at the winters year before, but he was like the clear next up guy in
- 1:13:55[SPEAKER_00]: Strong enough.
- 1:13:56[SPEAKER_00]: If you are emotionally tough enough to say fuck it, we're gonna fade the Stafford injury news and go with Puka regardless There is no one that when I see this player in my opposing teams line up outside of The quarterbacks of like Josh Allen the more Jackson those high-end guys that I'm more like fuck I got to play this guy then Puka Nicole
- 1:14:16[SPEAKER_00]: Every time you look at the box score of a Rams game is Pugna Kua 13-yard catch Pugna Kua 17-yard catch Pugna Kua 14-yard catch Pugna Kua 11-yard catch Pugna Kua Pugna Kua Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna Kua, Pugna
- 1:14:43[SPEAKER_00]: He only fucking ran 22 routes yesterday, 22 routes yesterday, and he had 11 targets.
- 1:14:54[SPEAKER_00]: Every other time he ran a route, every other, why am I even looking at the different website to have it all here, 50% target per route run rate?
- 1:15:04[SPEAKER_00]: That ain't going anywhere, that's going to be like this old fucking season.
- 1:15:08[SPEAKER_00]: It's unreal.
- 1:15:09[SPEAKER_00]: I kept saying it all summer like the most valuable position in fantasy football is the motion, slot guy, in a Sean McVeigh offense.
- 1:15:16[SPEAKER_00]: Who can the coolest slot routes?
- 1:15:17[SPEAKER_00]: Jumped up from last year, 35% yesterday up to 69%.
- 1:15:24[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna get 200 targets this year.
- 1:15:28[SPEAKER_00]: And I fucking hate playing against him, because he's so good.
- 1:15:31[SPEAKER_00]: He's so good.
- 1:15:33[SPEAKER_00]: Kyron took all the backfield work once again.
- 1:15:37[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's just the same as last year.
- 1:15:39[SPEAKER_00]: It's just the fucking same.
- 1:15:41[SPEAKER_00]: Bill's Ravens, ridiculous game, unbelievable game.
- 1:15:46[SPEAKER_00]: Is Derek Henry looks better right now than he did when he was 25?
- 1:15:52[SPEAKER_00]: He's just entering his prime, I think.
- 1:15:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're getting 35 year old Tom Brady, 33 year old Tom Brady, like he's almost done.
- 1:15:58[SPEAKER_00]: He's not almost done.
- 1:15:59[SPEAKER_00]: He's not almost fucking done.
- 1:16:02[SPEAKER_00]: I will say in a true support I had last night,
- 1:16:05[SPEAKER_00]: After like the bills went down in court of touchdown, but over the next like three drives next, you know, three, four fucking drives, whatever, it was like the Ravens touchdown, three and out bills, the Ravens touchdown, three and out bills after that last three and out from the bills and the Ravens court again, there was a thought they went through my mind, where I said, I think we might be watching the greatest football team ever assembled in the Baltimore Ravens of the year 2025.
- 1:16:30[SPEAKER_00]: That's those aren't truths of thoughts right like you can't hold me to it, but that was I can't I can't also can't help the fact, okay, I did lie you're right.
- 1:16:37[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Allen did lead lead lead lead the NFL and passing your arts in a week one.
- 1:16:40[SPEAKER_00]: I said that and then I was like, no, no way did it, but he fucking did almost for George.
- 1:16:46[SPEAKER_00]: See, you see this fucking stamina going into the last game of the entire week game 15 right now.
- 1:16:51[SPEAKER_00]: I got the same fucking stamina that Josh Allen has.
- 1:16:54[SPEAKER_00]: Bottom of the fourth, what are we gonna do?
- 1:16:57[SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna finish strong.
- 1:16:59[SPEAKER_00]: I thought to myself, holy shit, we are witnessing the greatest football team ever assembled right now in the 2025 Baltimore Ravens.
- 1:17:07[SPEAKER_00]: They did whatever they wanted.
- 1:17:10[SPEAKER_00]: Lamar Jackson and Derek Henry, you have two of the greatest players at their position in the history of NFL, just dominating on the field right now together.
- 1:17:19[SPEAKER_00]: I just, it's just fucking incredible.
- 1:17:21[SPEAKER_00]: What they do there in Baltimore.
- 1:17:23[SPEAKER_00]: Derek, how amazing.
- 1:17:24[SPEAKER_00]: Lamara, how amazing.
- 1:17:25[SPEAKER_00]: Safe flowers, monster game.
- 1:17:28[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Andrews, absolutely the vote.
- 1:17:30[SPEAKER_00]: But this is one of those teams.
- 1:17:32[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we know this, Lamar Jackson, 19 pass attempts to 29 carries for their offense.
- 1:17:39[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're not the guy getting the targets in that game, you're probably not going to do very well.
- 1:17:43[SPEAKER_00]: And it was simply just safe flowers there.
- 1:17:45[SPEAKER_00]: So, not great.
- 1:17:49[SPEAKER_00]: Josh Allen again, almost 400 passing yards.
- 1:17:52[SPEAKER_00]: James Cook, very tough matchup, was, you know, very unsurprisingly going to struggle on the ground, but he did get into the end zone and he did catch five passes 50 yards.
- 1:18:01[SPEAKER_00]: So, big PPR day, still his back feel completely huge day from Keyon Coleman.
- 1:18:07[SPEAKER_00]: Great to fucking see this.
- 1:18:08[SPEAKER_00]: I got it.
- 1:18:08[SPEAKER_00]: So,
- 1:18:10[SPEAKER_00]: The way I watched this game, which was kind of a leap the way this worked out.
- 1:18:13[SPEAKER_00]: So I actually fell asleep around half time, just today it was very early.
- 1:18:17[SPEAKER_00]: I fell asleep around half time, and Baltimore was obviously winning, and
- 1:18:23[SPEAKER_00]: I woke up at like, I don't know, three a.m.
- 1:18:26[SPEAKER_00]: or four a.m.
- 1:18:27[SPEAKER_00]: And I couldn't get back to sleep.
- 1:18:28[SPEAKER_00]: And typically when I wake up in the middle of night, I need to like watch TV, I'm like a fucking child.
- 1:18:32[SPEAKER_00]: I need to watch TV for like 30, 40 minutes before I could fall back to sleep.
- 1:18:35[SPEAKER_00]: So I put it on and obviously it was already ended, but that meant I could like watch the game and fast forward as shit was happening.
- 1:18:41[SPEAKER_00]: So I was able to watch just the drives, right?
- 1:18:43[SPEAKER_00]: And like skip the commercial.
- 1:18:44[SPEAKER_00]: So it was kind of sick.
- 1:18:45[SPEAKER_00]: It was like watching, if any of you guys have like NFL plus and you watch the replays, but you watch like the condensed replay version,
- 1:18:51[SPEAKER_00]: where every NFL games like 35 minutes the next day.
- 1:18:53[SPEAKER_00]: It's elite.
- 1:18:54[SPEAKER_00]: That's like basically what I did.
- 1:18:55[SPEAKER_00]: So I was able to watch and watch in the second half.
- 1:18:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, key on Coleman, like,
- 1:19:01[SPEAKER_00]: The way Josh Allen Kian Coleman we're connecting was great to fucking see.
- 1:19:04[SPEAKER_00]: Kian was not a guy I was like trying to draft this, this, this, uh, this offseason.
- 1:19:08[SPEAKER_00]: And I got to be honest, like I don't know how many gamescripts are going to go this way where the bills are, are giving up 40 points and trailing by 20 points in the, in the second half where Allen's going to need to throw the ball 40 times.
- 1:19:19[SPEAKER_00]: So again, this is another example this week where I think some of the target shares and the target totals were pretty inflated, but
- 1:19:26[SPEAKER_00]: Just great to see him have pretty much a career day here eight for one 12 touchdown.
- 1:19:30[SPEAKER_00]: He was catching balls all over the field like operating as a true possession receiver looked phenomenal and could be in store for a big breakout year for key on Coleman so good to see she care is normal six for 64
- 1:19:43[SPEAKER_00]: Palmer Relatively in Ball 5 or 61.
- 1:19:45[SPEAKER_00]: Conquade 4448 in a touchdown, he had a nice touchdown score early on in the game, which, you know, four targets on 46 past attempts, not great.
- 1:19:56[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't want to really hang my hat on just the touchdown there, but yeah, man, that's, I think that's the recap for all the games in this one, we will be doing a,
- 1:20:10[SPEAKER_00]: Waverwire video as always, every Tuesday.

- 1:20:42[SPEAKER_00]: I got to be honest, like doing the, everyone doing like buy low sell highs, like six times a week and week one is kind of the most unsufferable fucking behavior in the fantasy industry.
- 1:20:51[SPEAKER_00]: It should be genuinely illegal to tell someone to buy low or sell high after one week.
- 1:20:58[SPEAKER_00]: Like, if I see a fucking video that says, buy low and jamar chase, I actually might quit it all.
- 1:21:03[SPEAKER_00]: I might end it all.
- 1:21:07[SPEAKER_00]: She pisses me off, all right?
