Week 4 Matchups + Tough Decisions & Trade Targets - 2026 Fantasy Football Ep. 18 · Let's Talk Football - Married Edition

• Amanda: What is up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of Let's Talk Football Married Edition. It is Wednesday, September 30th. I'm real confused because number one, it's Wednesday, and two, it's the last day of September. I'm messed up, but nonetheless, we're filming a day early. I'm Amanda. This is Drew, and we're gonna gear you up for week four of fantasy football, baby. Drew: What is up everybody? Welcome in. Week four is upon us. More importantly, October and fall. Leaves are changing. Exac yeah, the the weather. Yep, Amanda: Oof. The crisp is in the air, baby. Well, for us Ohio folk here. Drew: yep. The weather's getting cooler. The mosquitoes are hopefully gonna go away soon because they have been abysmal in Ohio this year. It's just Amanda: kicking our asses. Drew: rained so much here that like It's you can't even control We have our we have our property fogged and it it basically does nothing right now because it's been so wet all summer. Amanda: Yeah, absolutely. No. Hopefully we can enjoy. We have this whole big ass patio built for ourselves this this past year. And we've been itching to enjoy like football Sundays out on the patio. And it's still been just a little bit too hot. So we're hoping that now we are finally tied the turn. Turn? Tides have turned? The yeah, not the turns. I was gonna say the turns Drew: Tides have turned, yeah. The turns have tided. Amanda: have tided. the tides have turned and we can now enjoy some football outside, which is lovely. but before we jump into obviously we're gonna talk Monday night football reactions and do matchups, I wanted to cover one thing that has come up a lot for me on social media and in Patreon is just people starting the season one and two or and three, and like a little bit of panic setting in, a little bit of like, fuck it, I'm just done already. I want you to like, we're gonna take a big old cleansing breath together and chill for a minute. Because a lot of times when you guys are freaking out about this, number one, I'm looking at your roster. And you've got a fucking stacked team. Either you've Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: just played against people who just fucking slayed the house down. And yes, like Drew, like Drew's, what are you right now? One and two? Drew: Like I did the first two weeks, two hundred and twelve points, two yeah, one and two in a league, and the first two weeks, each opponent scored two hundred and twelve points against me. And mind you, this is normal PPR scoring. Like this is not ridiculous, weird bonuses. Amanda: Bonus shit, yeah. Drew: This is just normal, like a hundred and thirty-five points wins most league. Like the the league median is a hundred and thirty-five points. And I got two hundred and twelve points scored on me, not once. But twice in a row to start the season, meanwhile, like I think I had like the fourth highest or fifth highest point scored through the first two weeks, and I was 0-2. And it's just like I there's nothing I can do about that. Amanda: No. Drew: People that have Puka, people that have Nico, like guys that Brock Bowers, like these are big names Amanda: Yes. Brock Bowers, yep. Drew: that like, am I should I panic or not? Like, no, don't panic. More importantly, if you continue to play and grind it out and pay attention. A lot of the other teams that are and three or one and two are gonna stop playing, which means that's less people going after waivers, so it's gonna be easier Amanda: Mm. Drew: to pick up waivers. That's less people that are gonna, you know, hopefully they always they always set good lineups, you know, or at least legal lineups, but they're not gonna be working and making their team better, which means you should have some easy wins and bye weeks haven't even started yet. So like just take a deep breath. It's just it it's gonna be harder, but it's possible. Amanda: Yeah. Yeah. And some of these some teams that are probably like absolutely crushing your life right now are also just like they they got lucky. Like there is a level of luck to fantasy football. And like if you have these big name guys when they come back, like that luck will turn back to you. You will, it will be okay. and so my our advice is just keep going. Keep setting the lineups, keep grinding, keep doing it because you can start O and three, and four. And imagine if you won every single matchup after that. Like you're still in the playoffs at that point. So like don't give up now. It's far too early to make that decision. It's okay to be pissed, but we're not giving up, damn it, okay? Drew: Absolutely. Amanda: all right, well, let's talk Monday night football, baby, because that was, I think, a game that a lot of us, because w the news came out, obviously, Caleb Williams, grade two hamstring strain. And then we find out that Tyler. Beignet, Badget. I'll Drew: Bad beignet. Amanda: never get it 'cause I fucked it up one time and now it's ingrained in my brain. Tyler Badgett was Drew: Yeah, he had a concussion. Amanda: concussion protocol. He wasn't able to well, I think he did end up clearing, but it was so short notice. They then decided, okay. Drew: He cleared on f he cleared on Friday, but they said that he just he hadn't practiced like at all. So they were just gonna stick with Case Keenum. I there's a lot that goes into practice in game planning in the NFL and like yes, you have to have good players, but like the game plan matters a lot for winning. Amanda: Absolutely. Drew: And so they decided to go with Case Keenum, who decided to turn back the clock and have an amazing Amanda: my god. Drew: game. Did you know that he has like he set like N C double A records, like college records when he was at Houston? Amanda: I didn't. No. Drew: Yeah, he was a very good college quarterback. He was just one of those quarterbacks that was like at like a smaller school that like did one thing and a lot of it. So like he threw the ball a ton. Really good at it, but like, you know, not a great NFL career. He had a few good years. Amanda: Yeah. Drew: took the Vikings to the playoffs one year. Amanda: But really then came into this game and just I think really shut a lot of us up. Like I think most of us were like, Philly's defense is a a lockdown. It's gonna be a great start. They scored one fantasy point. Like Case Keenum did not come to fucking play. he had what? Th 24 out of 34 completions, 247 yards, two touchdowns, Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: four carries, one touchdown himself, which I just thought was like the power move of all power moves of like they're and yeah, they're playing the Eagles, Drew: A rushing touchdown? Amanda: the Tush-Push Kings. And Case Keenum, his 38-year-old ass, gets in the end zone. And I don't think Jalen Hurts scored. Did he get in the end zone at all himself? Maybe he did. I don't know. Drew: Yeah, he did. He had one rushing touchdown, but he didn't have a passing touchdown because he's not that good. I don't think he's that good. Amanda: Yeah, that was I mean it that was a that was a game where I think a lot of us were scratching our heads like, huh, this was a game that the the Eagles really should have walked away with and they got destroyed. It wasn't even Drew: Yeah. Amanda: a competition that the the Bears owned that game the entire time. Drew: Yeah, at what point do we start looking at like the discord around the Eagles for most of the entire Sirianni Hertz tenure has been well, they had a good offensive coordinator in Shane Steichen and they win the Super Bowl and then He leaves, gets a head coaching job, and the you know, they promote from within. And then that dude got ran out of town immediately because he was awful in one year. And then they bring in Kellen Moore, who now is an NFL head coach, very good offensive mind, and they have another good year. And then they lose him and they bring another guy in last year and terrible. And then this year, bring a new guy in. Terrible. So I'm like, maybe it's a Jalen Hurts thing. Maybe Jalen Hurts, like, I don't Amanda: Unless they're just I mean, he's been good. So like there has been times where he's good. There's that are they just not scheming him correctly? Drew: He doesn't he's he's fine. The dude can either cannot or will not throw the ball across the middle of the field. I don't it's not a strength of his, which everybody's got different strengths. It's not a strength of his. And it it's becoming apparent. Now defenses have changed in the last five years. So like more too high safety looks, re the you have to dissect. teen defenses in the middle of the field in the intermediate ranges, because deep balls are a lot harder to get now with a two shell look, meaning that you two safeties back deep. So they're basically making you throw the ball behind the linebackers in front of the safeties, which is a much harder throw. And that is not a strength of his. I I just you can't get anything going. And even the last I mean 24 points in fantasy 18 points What, twelve points this past week? I mean, in in my league, which is six point passing, half point, but Amanda: Yeah. In happy BR, yeah. Yeah. Drew: it's not great. Amanda: No, it's not great at all. However, I think there is a lot to talk about of this was really the first true Bears game that we were able to see like a clean game from what that office is gonna look like. Week number one, it was really all the running backs, all Caleb Williams running around like a madman. Week two, it was rainy, and that's when Caleb Williams got h Caleb Williams got hurt. This was the first week, even though we had Case Keenum there, we got to see them utilize the wide receiver. So I think like everyone can take a deep breath if they have Luther Burden and like, my gosh, he is being used. Their offense isn't Drew: Eleven targets. Amanda: Yes. I mean absolutely eleven targets for Luther Burden. There was seven Drew: Amazing. Yeah. Amanda: targets for Khalif Raymond, which that is not inconsistent. That's a common theme now. Drew: Yeah. Look, Loveland had four targets and was a taint's hair away from a touchdown. His butt I mean came up well, I mean it was. It was his butt. I'm sorry, a butt hair, you want that? An ass hair? Is that better? Amanda: Jesus Christ. That's disgusting. That sounds better. Drew: I mean he was really close and so I look, he didn't kill you this week, seven points in PPR, so that didn't crush you. Amanda: No. Who've actually played him? I wonder who like had the gall to say, like, I have no other options, Loveland, baby, but good on you if you did. At least it's hope more than one point. Yeah. Drew: Yeah, it's fine. I mean, so five points in half PPR. Yeah, f it's not great, but it's not awful. You were really I mean, if he scores a touchdown there, he had a great week. Adunze, six targets, had a touchdown that he just closed his hands before the ball got there. So like I'm not in then obviously bobbled it and was out of bounds. So that should have been a touchdown. Everybody's involved. Luther Burden is clearly gonna be the top target as far as like guys you're gonna be able to trust. And Khalif Raymond's not going to go away. I think it's just at this point you have to accept that it's going to be the ball's going to be spread around to Amanda: A roulette style, yeah. Drew: five, six different players. You had 30 Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: carries by the running backs, 20 by Swift, and 10 by Manungai. That's a lot of carries in a game. So they just they're going to spread the ball around a lot, and you're hoping for a touchdown. And to me, you're probably Luther Burden, you're safe to play weekly. And I think Raymond can be an okay flex in good matchups. And then Amanda: Good matchups, yep. Drew: everybody else is like bye week fill in Amanda: Desperate territory. Drew: player. Like don't drop a Dunte don't drop Loveland because they have good value and can boom. Like their upside is really well or is really high. So like if you've got bye weeks coming up and they're forced to Amanda: Yes, that's Drew: be in your lineup, well, I'd rather have them in my lineup than the wide receiver three on the Texans. Because I just need somebody that's actually gonna be playing this week. So and the the the upside potential of Adunse is higher than Xavier Hutchinson. So don't drop Amanda: Yeah, yeah. Drew: but they're not in the start weekly category anymore. Amanda: Absolutely. All right. Well, today we're gonna do our typical, we're gonna get into week four matchups here in a minute. We'll go over our in-depth injury report to get you as prepared as possible. And before we jump into any of that though, we're gonna talk a little bit about just some specific situations that I think number one have been common thoughts a lot of us are thinking, and just talk a little bit about players that are hot topics right now. We're gonna start with Malik neighbors. and and the biggest thing is here, like Are we still treating neighbors like an automatic starter because of his talent, right? Or has that quarterback situation officially made him a gigantic walking red flag? Give me kind of your thoughts. Drew: I don't think he is an auto starter anymore, at least not right now. They just Dart not being there hurts a lot. Jameis didn't look great in his almost two full games of playing, although this last week was a lot of rain Amanda: Disgusting. Drew: and gross, so you kind of throw it out the window. But their action showed me that they don't believe that Jameis is the answer. They still want to win this year, and they went out and traded for JJ McCarthy. Who while hasn't had a ton of NFL success, injured his entire first year, second year injured and didn't look great. Probably better than Jameis at this point. So I expect to see him in the next two to three weeks under center. Maybe it'll be better. He's a lot more mobile, more like a Jackson Dart, so their offense can kind of Amanda: Operate the similar. Drew: operate the same ish way. They can use a little bit of his of his legs in the run game. I think it's gonna turn into a very run heavy. They'll they'll throw the ball some. I think it'll be more underneath Isaiah likely, Cam Scattabu out of the backfield, and a little and they're just they're gonna protect the ball and try to play defense. So I'm Amanda: Yeah. Minimize risks, right? Yeah. Drew: worried that the passing volume goes down and the quarterback play is not good enough to to provide value. Obviously he's not a drop. To me, Amanda: No. Drew: it's Can I get really good value for him at this point? Like, could Amanda: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Drew: I trade Malik Neighbors because of his name? I start the list at like a Parker Washington. Now Parker's Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: played amazing and by and should not make that trade. Like the Parker manager should not trade Parker for Malik Neighbors. However, if Amanda: Shoot your shot though, right? You gotta shoot your shot. Drew: you're Malik Neighbors manager, his name value is so high. That it's gonna elevate the type of player that you can get back in a lot of leagues, especially in leagues that aren't super competitive leagues, but more casual leagues, because Amanda: Mm. Drew: name value makes a big difference. So I would start shooting off trade offers to try to get him off of my roster. If I can get a Parker Washington or what are some other names that you think would be good? Would you do that for Michael Wilson? Amanda: Would you go like Matthew Golden? Michael Wilson. yeah, I I would. I I think Michael Wilson is gonna be more of a consistent bet. We've seen him Drew: Yeah. Amanda: and Jacoby connect. How about I just said somebody and now it's out of my brain completely. Matthew Golden. Drew: Matthew Golden. I think Matthew Golden is a massive trade four target because Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: he's essentially done the exact same thing as Christian Watson. If you look at their stats, the only Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: difference is touchdowns. Christian Watson has four and three games, which is that that's it's a pace that will not keep up. So I they should swing the other way and even out a little bit. So Matthew Golden has one in three games. If he ends up with ten on the year. He's gonna be a top 24 wide receiver. And if he keeps doing Amanda: Yeah. Drew: everything else he's doing, he might be a top 12 receiver. yeah, I think you can do that. I honestly, I think you could probably get golden plus something Amanda: Okay. Drew: or upgrade another position while you're also doing that. So like you could either Amanda: Okay. Drew: do that's where I would start the conversation is look at the golden manager and say, could I trade neighbors for golden and something? Or could I trade neighbors and maybe you have Isaiah likely. Well you wouldn't have both of them. So maybe you've got Tucker Kraft and then you could turn Tucker Amanda: Mm. Drew: Kraft and Malik neighbors into Matthew Golden and George Kittle or you're not getting Bowers and you're not gett no, I wouldn't do that trade. No, I would keep Kraft at that point. But Amanda: Harold Fannin. Okay. Trying to think of another in that range. Tyler Warren? Too high. Maybe he hasn't done great great Drew: yeah, maybe. No, I don't Amanda: yet. Drew: Yeah, I I like Kraft, so I don't know that I'd get rid of him. But anyway, that besides the point. but yeah, Amanda: Yeah, I know. Yeah. Drew: I I would I would expect him not to have a great neighbors not to have a great year this year. So Amanda: Yeah, yeah. Drew: what about another team that is struggling really bad right now is the Patriots, right? They're they Amanda: Yeah. Drew: have the I think they have the least or the second least scoring offense in the league right now. Like they are Hard struggling. And like Drake May is like crying on the sidelines and like the dude looks down real bad. Amanda: He's down bad. He's down bad. He's down bad. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Drew: what do you do with that offense? Like, obviously, I don't think you can start any of their receivers until AJ's back because we've Amanda: No. No. Drew: tried it and like everybody picked up Mac Collins and he did nothing the first week and then like dropped him and he did something this last week, but like it's not enough. It's Amanda: It's too unknown. Yeah. Drew: too unknown, and they don't have a Dominant tight ends. It's basically like Ramondre and Trevion are the only options and like they're not good options right now. Amanda: No, no. I I honestly think like the entire team is a, you know, the only two players, like you said, that could be considered as potential starting options is Henderson and Ramondre. And like at that point, you're also looking at who do they play? Because if they're playing a team that is good against the run, I don't I'm not playing either of them. And the split is wonky. We don't know what's happening. They're also, they're not scared of Drake May throwing. No one's scared of Drake May throwing the ball right now. We've we've visually seen him struggle to do that. So if a defense knows, okay, all I have to do is make sure that these two running backs don't get opportunities, I'm golden. Add too much pressure to Drake May, he's freaking out. It's not, it's not good. And also the we talked about the Patriots schedule. It's it's a difficult schedule. It's hard as hell. And so now he's not only up against an easy schedule, it's it's it's a challenge for him and he's really being put to the test. At this point, I would love to not start either anyone. From from the Patriots team, i the entire roster's a wash right now for me if I can avoid it. I mean Drew: Yeah, you're looking at in full PPR. I don't have the half pulled up because sleeper's not working right now. So I have Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: to look on my phone and I just have my leagues up. Ramondre, six point eight points and Trevion three point nine. And Amanda: Yeah. Drew: that's in I guess I could switch it here. Five point three for Stevenson and three point four for Trevion in half PPR. So like Amanda: Mm-hmm. Not good. Drew: unfortunately with the way the running back landscape is now You're almost forced to play one of but like I would try not to. But you're not like Amanda: Are you going down like the Pollard? Like would you start Tony Pollard ahead of these guys? Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Drew: matchup dependent, yes. And which shouldn't be a thing, but absolutely matchup dependent. I would drop Drake May and create a landmine for someone else. So Amanda: yeah. Drew: a landmine, in case people don't know, is well, people know what landmines are, but in fantasy football, you have a big name player that like is just really hard not to play because they're a big name. So if they're on your roster It's really hard not to play but they're killing you. So what you do is you drop them specifically on a Tuesday, because that's waiver day. So you drop them to try to get other people to waste their waiver priority or their fab budget on this player that then they're also going to put in their lineup and play just like you did, and they're gonna get screwed instead of you. So it's part of winning the game. You gotta play the game to win. Amanda: Manipulative, huh? you gotta play the game, baby. All right, how about Jeremiah Love? Do we think this past week was his breakout week? Drew: I think so. l they gave him a ton of opportunities. I it's really hard to put the cat back in the bag after it's gotten out. And I think it just got out. Now I think it might have been accidental. I'm not sure that they intended on him to get that much work, but the game was close and he was so effective that that's just the way the game happened. I don't think you can put it away at this point. Like Algiers not gonna go away. But maybe he's seven or eight touches a game from now on out instead of fifteen to sixteen touches. And Amanda: I agree. Drew: Love's gonna get the rest of those. Also, we have to remember Jeremiah Love was a rookie and he had an ankle injury in the preseason. So Amanda: Injured. Yeah. Drew: he's probably just now getting back to healthy. It's gonna be Amanda: They were also really open about like he well, he said, like, I'll do whatever the coach wants. If the coach wants me to only play forty percent of the snaps, I'm gonna play forty percent of the snaps. Like I am still healing. They were so open about that at the beginning of the season. So like, Drew: Sure. Yeah. Amanda: yeah, of course he was his usage was tapered. Duh. Drew: Abs absolut. I he's a guy that I think you should go try to get. If you can, right now's the only chance you're gonna have because I think it's about to blow up. I think he's about to start being a high teens to mid twenties every week player. And at running back you don't get to trade for those guys. So if you have a chance, I would go get him. What type of guys do you think that you would give up to go get love? Amanda: Cam Scattaboo, I think would be someone I would be willing to give up for Jeremiah Love. I mean I don't think I could move them, but like eat any of the Seahawks running backs. I I don't I would I don't want to play games. Drew: You wouldn't be able to get that done. Amanda: Well, you know what? A girl can hope. Drew: See Seatt no, not a chance. Like, would you give up Bucky Well I it might pe Amanda: Is he hurt? Drew: Bucky I mean, he's had a really good start to the season. No, I don't think he was actually hurt, but Amanda: I know. Okay. Jalen Warren? Drew: Y yes, but you're never going to get Jer Jeremiah Love for Jalen Warren. Like these are ridiculous, outlandish pipe dream type of of players. You have to go Kyron Williams. Would you give up Kyron Williams to go get Jeremiah Love? Amanda: Yeah, I don't see why not. Drew: Okay. Saquon Barkley, I think is an absolute yes. It's Amanda: Yes. Drew: name value. I don't think you can get that done, but name value maybe. Amanda: No, I agree. Drew: Bucky, I think I would. I mean, I think the only guys that I wouldn't is Gibbs, Bijan, CMC, Walker, Henry, Cook, Taylor. And maybe Genty, and that's probably the end of the list. Like I'd trade O'Marion Hampton for love right now, but I'm not sure that people would accept that trade because Amanda: No. Drew: Hampton's had such a bad start. Amanda: Yeah. How about same team, different name? Marvin Harrison Junior. Drew: He's in landmine. Get rid of him. He's done. Amanda: Yeah. Die how okay. O'Brien Thomas Junior. Drew: I want one more week with BTJ. But it it it's very close to a full drop, but I want one more week. If Amanda: yeah. Set on BTJ one more week. It is. It is. Yeah. Hm. Drew: it's the same thing again, I'm gonna drop him. Somebody else gonna pick him up, is gonna play him for a week. He's gonna do terrible, put him on the bench or drop him, and then he'll have one or two weeks this year. Well he'll have eighteen fantasy points because he scores a bomb touchdown. But the chances of him being in a lineup during those weeks are so minimal and he's gonna crush people with two point weeks other than that. So alrighty. Amanda: Absolutely. All right. Well, situations to consider and look at, but we're gonna dive head first into the injury report. Drew's gonna run through this as streamlined as possible because there are, well, a shit ass ton of injuries moving into week four. Drew: Yes, there is. All right. Like Amanda said, we're gonna do these kind of quick. it is Wednesday. We normally record on Thursday, which means we get a little bit more injury information, which is why we wait till Thursday. Unfortunately, we couldn't this week. So a lot a lot of things are up in the air right now. A Chan out for the year. We talked about that on Tuesday's episode. Brace Hall, likely out this week with the quad injury. We talked about that on Tuesday. Travis A Chan. injured his hamstring. It was a re injury. We talked about that Tuesday. I expect him to be out. I'm going to assume for at least two weeks. Rashad White, week four concern. bunch of these are I I'm not going to go through the possibles. We'll go through those in the matchups and and how they impact. JJ, it looks like he will play this week, or at least it's a good chance. we still don't know about Evans and Coker. Puka, I just did just see a report for all you Puka managers. Sean McVay came out and said he is expected to play this week. So Amanda: It's a deep breath for a lot of people. Drew: yeah, he's expected to he's gonna start practicing. He's he's either the reporters either he's gonna start practicing tomorrow or he practiced today. And Sean McVeigh told reporters that he expects him to play this week. So, that's good. Nico is trending towards a return this week, which is the expected timeline of what we thought. Bunch of other names that are expected to play or maybe out. Jaden Reed went to the IR. I he's probably done for the year. He had that neck injury two weeks ago. I I I would expect him to be out at least half the year, but I'm not sure he comes back this year. Caleb's not ready to come back yet. Jaden Daniels is a possibility to return. However, I do not expect him to play this week. I do think he'll return next week. He was practicing in a limited fashion today. And he's got this nice, shiny new elbow brace on, the thing he should have been wearing the entire time. so he does have that. So that's a that's an improvement. Amanda: Yeah. That's a win. Drew: and I think that's it for big news that we have so far. Everything else is kind of just monitor, so we'll go over the options during the Amanda: Yeah. Drew: matchups. Amanda: All right. Well, let's get into our week four matchups. And we're gonna start with, well, in our household, the best matchup of the week. We have the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Cleveland Browns. The betting line has none other than the Pittsburgh Steelers favored at two and a half, and the over-under set at 38.5. Drew: Here we go, brownies. Here we go. Whoo hoo. You're supposed to do it with me. Amanda: Yeah, we just ign no no, we just we just ignore that and pretend it's not happening. Drew: okay. Amanda: Anyways, let's talk sit starts here. I think from the Steelers standpoint, Jalen Warren, it looks like only one in the backfield. An easy yes, go ahead on that one. And then again, I don't think in any way, shape, or form am I ready to sit DTK Metcalf. I mean, he did score last week, right? No? shit. Really? Drew: No. No no. I don't I don't think so. Amanda: Are you sure? Drew: He's on one of my teams too. Amanda: I we we were geeked. Yeah, he did. He w you were on the tractor. You got pissed at fantasy football and had to l remove yourself. Drew: yeah, that's what happened. No, yeah, I was s I was tilting so bad and so angry at the television. Amanda: It was so like looked at Drew, like, you know when like I women can relate to this, like specifically if you're married or in a relationship with a man who, or I guess woman who loves fantasy football on a deep level, I will say, like, there's a moment where like I'm uncomfortable because I know how pissed he is. And I was like, Do you need to remove yourself from the situation? He's like, Yeah, I'm gonna go cut the grass. Drew: I just left it out out back. Yeah, got on the tractor, started mowing, but I was listening. I had the red zone on my phone, sitting in the cup holder, and I was listening to it. And I remember 'cause I put my hand up when when I heard Hansen say that Metcalf scored a touchdown. no, you're playing I think you can play Metcalf. Amanda: Yeah. Jalen Warren, DK Metcalf for sure. yeah. Yeah, well, absolutely. and their defense, I agree. Drew: Turn the page. That's it. and their defense. Yes, and their defense. Amanda: and the Browns, I think Judkins is is a fine go. I you're thinking running back disparity though. Who has running backs to spare? I guess if you really have running backs to spare, sure, maybe you consider him, but in most situations I think Drew: Yeah, so that Amanda: he's a go. Drew: that's basically it. So like if you don't have a good running back room, play Quinchon, obviously he's not like a full sit, but I don't expect him to have a very good week. So if you have other options, maybe look at those other options. if we look at like positionally kind of in that twenties range, let me look here, like Quinshawn or Jacori Krosky Merritt versus Indianapolis. Amanda: I'm playing Quin John. Drew: I'm playing Crosskey Merritt myself. The Br the Amanda: Psychopath behavior. Drew: Browns are awful at running the football this year. I mean, really bad. And Pittsburgh has been very good against the run outside of one or two lapses in defense. Like the big Travan Henderson run. That was Amanda: Yeah. Drew: basically all that the Spa Patriots did on the ground that game that I can remember. Amanda: Okay, how about Tony Pollard versus Baltimore or Quinshaun? Because like I actually would play Pollard. Drew: Tony Pollard. Amanda: Yeah, I agree. Which is crazy, but like I would do it. So Drew: Yeah. other than that, Denzel Boston, I think you can play him. And then I think you play Harold Fannon. Amanda: Yeah, I think Harold Fannon for is a lo a lock and a lock and load. Denzel Boston, like yeah. I I don't think he's an auto sit. I don't think he's an auto start though. I think that there are yeah. Drew: He's a f he's a flex play. Yeah, he's he's a flex play. He's a guy that's he should be the third or fourth receiver in your lineup. You know, he's not a top two locked and loaded this week, but he he absolutely can be played this week. And then I think you can no. No. B bad Amanda: Either those quarterbacks streaming quarterbacks for you? No, no desperate nation. Drew: no, bad matchups. I also think you can play both defenses in this this matchup as well, because both quarterbacks are turnover prone and the Browns are really getting after the quarterbacks. Amanda: And Aaron Rodgers can't get away from people. Yeah. Drew: And Aaron Rodgers can't move, so Amanda: Yes, absolutely. All right. Next matchup we have the Indianapolis Colts versus the Washington Commanders. The betting line has Indianapolis. I always call them Indiana. And like that's not their name, but it just comes off my mouth. They Drew: The Indiana Colts? Amanda: yes, the the Colts favored at three and a half and the over under is set at forty seven point five. go ahead. Drew: Quick real quick quick note for this game. This is nine thirty AM Eastern time. This is an th I think this is an England game, if I recall correctly. Mm-hmm. Amanda: shit. Where are we playing? England. God, you know what I love? Morning football, baby. It's my favorite. Like nothing like your egg eggs and bacon with a little side of football. It's great. Drew: Just be a just be aware that that you know, that's six thirty West Coast time. So like set your make sure your lineups are set on Saturday Amanda: Sorry about that guys. But night before. Drew: n Saturday night and then get up early and and do your adjustments again. Amanda: And I'm gonna repeat this again because I just had a woman in the Patreon say, like, I know I made a mistake. Early players go in positional spots. Later players go in flex. Even if that means you have JSN in your flex spot, it doesn't mean he's flexed. It doesn't matter. Don't think about that. Drew: They that doesn't matter. You're not benching him. Yeah. Amanda: it just you want those early guys in those positional slots and anyone playing later in your flex options. Drew: Yep, and that's a good clarification as well, is when I say or when Amanda says that's a good that's an okay flex play this Amanda: Yes. Drew: week, that doesn't mean that they have to be in the flex spot. That means they're just they're lower down the list. Yeah, the Amanda: It's flexible yes. It means there's might be other options on your roster that might be better. This is an auto start guy. Drew: Yeah, they're not one of your top two running backs or top two receivers, but they're in that next tier of like, yeah, you can play them this week, but you're not trying to force them in the lineup. Amanda: Yeah. for the Colts, anyways, Jonathan Taylor, that's an auto start for me, and Josh Downs is an auto start for me as well. Keenan Allen was a favorite waiver wire pickup, or was a heavy waiver wire pickup, I should say. Considered a flex option, but I would probably lean elsewhere if I could. I think he's a safe flex option, though. He's a he's a I'm not gonna goose Drew: Look Amanda: egg you type of guy. Drew: yeah, he's a higher floor low or higher floor lower ceiling flex play. I think he could be right in that half PPR, you know, six to twelve point range. You know, he's not gonna win the week for you, I doubt, but he shouldn't lose it for you either. Amanda: Yeah. For sure. Drew: and then Tyler Warren also you can you can Amanda: Absolutely. Drew: play Tyler Warren. Amanda: Always playing the Tyler Warren for the Washington Commanders. Scary Terry, I think, is marked safe with Marcus Mariota, so I think he's a play. And I also think Stephon Diggs is a play as well. you can run me Drew: Yep. Agreed. Amanda: down on the Jacori Kraski Mare, Rashad White conundrum. What do you think? Drew: I play Bill, Jacori Krosky Merritt. In case you guys don't know, he likes to be called Bill for whatever reason. Amanda: Cute and I like Drew: yeah, but I think you can play him this week. Rashad White's got a shoulder injury. Amanda: well shot rights always hurt, so that makes sense. Drew: yeah, let me double check that note. Top Rashad White's shoulder. He did not practice Wednesday. Amanda: Okay. Drew: I would not expect him to play. They did sign Austin Eckler. Amanda: a bat aga is it that's where Austin Eclar tour is Achilles, right? Drew: Yeah, that was the last place he played was with the commanders. So and he was he rehabbed it all last year and he was just waiting for an opportunity, somebody to call an injury to happen. And he and he one, he's huge in the fantasy community, so shout out to Austin Eckler. He's seems like a really yeah, he seems like Amanda: I'm a big Austin Ecklers fan. Yes. And his freaking wife is adorable. Yes. Drew: a really nice guy. and he even came out in like was very open about like, yeah, I I don't expect to get a job in the offseason. I'm gonna wait till an injury happens. And like I'm not I'm I'm a third downer, like I will I have a role and I know what it is at this point in my career and I'll Amanda: Play by part. Mm-hmm. Drew: play my part. I don't expect to get the ball a ton. I I'll be that third down guy. You throw me the ball, I'll run good routes, you can still throw me the ball, but like I'm not carrying the rock twenty times a game. My body can't handle that anymore. So so yeah, Rashad White, if he plays okay low flex option, but Amanda: temporary expectations. You think the guy is more Takori Kraskin married, even though the backfield's been split pretty fifty fifty. Drew: Yeah, I I would still I it's a good matchup for Bill, especially running the football so and on that note, no defenses in this matchup. I don't think so. Amanda: Okay. Okay. Either defense. No defenses. Cool. I agree. Tennessee Titans versus the Baltimore Ravens. They have Baltimore favored at a whopping eleven and a half and the over underset at 43.5. Drew: It's because Cam Ward sucks. Amanda: Yeah, it's bad. I think the only player we we we can Drew: He's terrible. Amanda: start with Tennessee Titans too. Like Tony Pollard is your only question here. Like, how about I mean we should talk about it? Do you think Carnell Tate, is that a Dropable dude at this point? Are you holding on hope? Holding on hope. I mean, as I'm I Drew: Nope, still holding. He's Amanda: have him rostered somewhere and I'm very sad, but Drew: He's a top ten draft pick in the NFL. Cam Amanda: I know. Drew: Ward does suck, but like also rookies typically get a slower start. We've just been spoiled in recent years. So I try to hold him. If I'm a team that okay, so if you have had a bunch of injuries and you need the spot, yes, you can go ahead and drop him if you absolutely need it. But if I've got a team that doesn't need him to be in my lineup and I can afford to keep him around at least until bye weeks pop up when I s start to have to make those tough decisions on who to drop, I'm gonna try to hold on to them for as long Amanda: forward to that. Drew: as I can. Amanda: Yeah, I I'm not looking forward to that being transparent. But like in my situation, I have Carnell Tate rostered somewhere, but I've been able to like play Vele or play Josh Downs ahead of him. And like it's just worked, right? So there's options Drew: It's when Amanda: to keep him. Drew: it's when by as long as you don't have an injured team and you're doing okay, you can hold on to When bye weeks start to pop up, these are the discussions that are gonna be really hard. Amanda: Yeah, they suck. They suck. But I think every all their wide receivers at this point are just not playable. very different story for the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry, Zay Flowers, lock, load, ready to go. Talk to me about Mark Andrews. I got a lot of drop questions on him this week, or just pivot. Like, would you go Mark Andrews? Drew: Speaking of speaking of drop, that dude can't not hold on to a football. He has so many drops. He has so Amanda: It's it's not going great. It's not going great. Drew: many drops. Like in like so he doesn't have like 50, right? But like in the NFL, like six drops, seven drops in a year is like a lot. And he consistently has a good amount of drops. I so the question sorry, I just got funny about the drop. He's Amanda: Do we move on? Like are we it's fine, are we moving on for Mark Andrews? Drew: He's a s he's a streaming tight end. He mean he hasn't been an every week guy for f three years. Amanda: He hasn't done enough, yeah. Would you pivot Sid Sid Sadiq? Is that how you Yeah, okay. I didn't want to fuck Drew: Kenyon Sadiq, yes, I would take Kenyon Sadiq. Yep. Amanda: it up. I always feel so bad when I fuck up names. Kidney Sadiq over Mark Andrew. Someone asked me and I was like, Yeah, like it does it feel like weird to ditch a veteran like that, yes, but like the the usage for Sadiq's been so high and he's been more consistent than Andrews has been. Drew: No, I'd take Sadiq and this week I do not think that this is a great play for him. Amanda: For Mark Andrews, I agree. Yeah. And then lock and load that Baltimore Ravens defense, baby. Drew: Absolutely. Amanda: Absolutely. But that's the end of the tale there. The basically fantasy irrelevant New England Patriots versus the Buffalo fucking Bills. They have Buffalo favored at six and a half and the over-under set at 48.5. So we will start with the New England Patriots. Drew: It's only two. It's it it's Amanda: Are you starting anybody? Drew: it's the only discussion here is Ramondre and Trevion, and that is Amanda: Yeah. Drew: it. I don't care if Buffalo's given up a ton of yards and points to quarterbacks or anything. I'm not playing Drake May. He's looked so bad and he doesn't have great receivers, so I'm out. Amanda: No. Yeah. Drew: it's Stevenson and Henderson. It says it's a good matchup, so I'm gonna play him if I have to. Now I'm not forcing them, but if I have to. Amanda: Yeah. I mean, again, the running backs last week from the Chargers didn't completely they were able to to make shit happen against the Bills. Now, the Bills defense did look a little bit better last week, in my opinion. but Drew: He also played a trash quarterback in Justin Herbert, so Amanda: Yeah, well, we got Drake May coming in, so who knows? Drew: Yeah, we we we've got we've got those two running backs in like the mid twenties, low to mid twenties in our rankings, so they're okay. Amanda: Okay, so Judkins or Henderson or Stevenson? Drew: S Stevenson or Henderson. Yep. I'm real low on Judkins this week. Yep. Amanda: Really? See, I would play Judkins ahead of them. Interesting. Yeah. I would risk it for the biscuit, but that's just me. also that matchup, the Steelers Browns matchup always tends to be fiery. It's good. The offenses turn on. Drew: It's fiery, it's fiery, but it's low scoring. It's a divisional matchup that tends to be more low scoring. AFC North football, it's very tough, gritty football. Buffalo gives up Buffalo gives up a Amanda: I don't know the bangles. Drew: lot of Buffalo gives up a lot of yards. Yes, but look at what Amanda: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Drew: the what the Bengals Steelers do last week. What was the end of the final score of that game? Amanda: Yeah, that was a high scoring game. Pause for dramatic effect 'cause I have to scroll and find it. It was twenty seven to thirty. That's a yeah. And why that was the most competent I've seen the Steelers offense in a while too. Drew: Yeah, that's really high for them. That's also yeah, that's also not Brown Steelers. Brown Steelers two not great offenses with good defenses. Amanda: Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right. And the Bengals defense historica is not great. All right, let's move to the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen, he Drew: Pretty easy. Amanda: is dealing with an injury. Look at it. Don't freak out. It it's Josh fucking Allen. Yes. Drew: If he plays, play him. Yep. Amanda: Josh Allen, James Cook, Dalton Kincaid. How about DJ Moore and DJ Moore? Okay. Are we like Drew: Yep, yep. And DJ Moore. Yep. And DJ Moore. Amanda: some people might have picked up Shakir or Coleman when DJ Moore got injured? Are you comfortable dropping those guys if you need a startable player? Drew: Yes, I am. And Coleman also is still dealing with an ankle injury. He was a DNP on Wednesday. So Amanda: Yes. Okay. Drew: that doesn't mean that he won't play, but we don't have Thursday's report. Thursday's report is a huge report for whether somebody plays on Sunday or not. Amanda: Okay. How about the Buffalo Bills I don't think New England Patriots defense I'm interested in, but how about the Buffalo Bills defense? They've been bad. Drew: I mean, it should be no because they've been bad, but Drake May's turned the ball over so Amanda: But do you put on some adulta pens and do it anyways? Drew: If you're projected to lose by like fifteen points and you need a bit of a Hail Mary, I think this Amanda: It's my like Drew: might be a sneaky pick. Amanda: I would be my spicy defense start of the week of just like if you also like I don't typically like sometimes I do use the waiver wire to pick up a defense, but oftentimes I'll wait until free agency and see what I can scrounge by on and look at matchups. And this Drew: Sure. Amanda: is one of those ones that like it's probably there on free agency. It's gonna take a little bit of gusto to do it, but I'll lack it. All right, New York Jets versus the Chicago Bears. They have the betting line set at Chicago favorite at three and a half and the over under is set at forty three. we will start with the Jets. Geno Smith is a streaming quarterback option. He remains a streaming quarterback option. This is not a terrible matchup for him. so it could be an option if you need a guy this week. Drew: Yeah, I I don't think that I want to play him this week. Chicago did Amanda: Okay how? Drew: just limit Jalen Hurts to thirteen points. Amanda: Yeah, I think that was more of an anomaly. But how about New York Jet or I'm sorry, Geno Smith or CJ Strout? Drew: CJ plays Dallas, CJ Amanda: Yes. Drew: Stroud. Amanda: Okay. How about the Jacoby Brissett versus the Giants? I mean sorry. Yeah, Jacoby Brissett. I Jameis Winston went in my head right when I said it. Drew: The Giants. Amanda: Yeah. Drew: Flip a coin. Amanda: Okay, 'cause we're not going down into the Herbert bag of hell, are we? Okay. Drew: Absolutely not. Not a chance. Amanda: as far as the rest of the players for the Jets here, Braylon Allen with Breeze Hall missing time is a great start. If you were able to snag him off the waiver wire, is good for you. Garrett Wilson as well. Drew: Bra Braylon Allen, if you got him off waivers and Brees Hall is hurt, he's a guy that I play over both New England guys. I play him over Quinshaw Judkins, like Amanda: Agreed. Agreed. Drew: the guys that we've mentioned that like you can play them if you need to, but I don't have high expectations. This is he he has a really good matchup and he's looked really good. Amanda: It's a great matchup. Yeah. Drew: Garrett Wilson, obviously in the lineup, and Kenyon Sadiq, you can start him this week, and that is it for the Jets. Amanda: Okay. No Adion Mitchell because he was a big talk till he got hurt. Okay. Drew: He's still hurt. He's still hurt. Amanda: how about the Chicago Bears? We have DeAndre Drew: Swift. Amanda: Swift. do you count one on guy? Drew: No. Ten ten carries, Amanda: No, okay. Swift only. Drew: ten touches isn't quite enough. It's a good matchup, but I no. Amanda: Who the fuck is so good on the Jets that make their passing defense so good? 'Cause it looks like they're the best passing defense in the NFL right now. It's early, but Okay. Drew: Yeah, I don't know what their ma well their matchups I think haven't been great this year. Amanda: 'Cause I'm like, the hell? Are you st starting Luther Burden and the list ends there? Drew: Starting Luther Burden and Sh yeah, I n yes, I'm I I I I'm too worried about who else to play 'cause the ball gets spread around. Amanda: If I had to go down my bag of trips because of injuries, I would start Khalif Raymond as a flex play. And I don't care. I would do it. Fuck it. Drew: Jets played the Lions last week. Hackers And why can't I f and the Titans. Well, you playing the Titans in one of the first three weeks is gonna really make your strength of schedule super good. Amanda: Yeah, in increase year. but no, Lurz and Burden I think is safe and and again, if I had to decide between like a Kleef Raymond or a Romadunze, I favor Kleef Raymond over Romadunze, personally. But Drew: Same. Yep. Amanda: okay, Colson Loveland. Drew: no. Probably not. Amanda: I would I would like Sadiq over Loveland and if I could hold on to Loveland, I'd play Sadiq first. Okay. Either Drew: Yes. Yep. Amanda: defense. Drew: no, not particularly. Amanda: Me either. No, I don't like either of them either. Jacksonville Jaguars versus the Cincinnati Bengals. They have the betting line set at Cincinnati favorite at two and a half. The over under fifty one point five. This is a solid over under. Yeah. Drew: That's a f that's a great overunder. Amanda: And this is a both offenses have been scoring machines. They both looked really, really effing good. yes, play all of them. T Law. Tooton. Drew: Yeah. This matchup's pretty easy. You play all the players that you normally would. So Trevor Telal, Tootin, Amanda: Parker. Drew: Parker Washington, I think you can play Brenton Strange. He's been really involved. You play Joe Burrow, you play Chase Brown, Amanda: Just brown. Drew: Chase, Higgins, you know, all the normal guys, you put in. It's a lot like that Amanda: Mm-hmm. Okay. So talk to me Drew: opening week matchup that we had, was it the Lions and Man, who was that? They had like a fifty five point over under. Amanda: Bills. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Drew: Yes. Yes, the Bills matchup. Amanda: okay, let's say you are a little bit wide receiver thin and you have like Jacoby Myers or Khalif Raymond, 'cause you just picked up Khalif Raymond on the rava waiver wires or BTJ. Khalif Raymond, who are you thinking about there? Drew: Jacoby Myers Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: over Khalif Raymond this week. I think it's a better matchup. Amanda: BTJ, Khalil Raymond. Drew: Khalif Raymond, BTJ is until I see it, I can't I can't play him. He's basically Amanda: Okay. huh. Okay. Drew: just gone. He's like Marv. They're just not involved. Amanda: Got it. All right. Moving on. shit. Sorry. Defenses. No, absolutely Drew: defenses. Not not yet. Defenses Nope, never mind. We can move on. Amanda: not. I was gonna say I don't think so, but you know, you do you. Dallas Cowboys views versus the Houston Texans. Betting line favors Houston at two and a half, and the overunder is set at forty eight point five. Drew: Which is a really good over under as well. Amanda: Again, so Dak Prescott, Javante Williams, hard matchup, however Drew: C D, George. Amanda: you do it. CD George, Fergie Ferguson. Drew: No, not this week. Amanda: Okay, cool. Texan wise David Montgomery. Nico Collins if he plays, obviously. Dalton Schultz. Good matchup for him. Drew: Yep. Yes, I do think Dalton Schultz is a good play this week. So like I would play Schultz over Ferguson. yeah. Wow. Mike Kisicki should not be on lineups anymore. Screw that guy. Amanda: Over Ferguson, over a Micah Sickey, over a Mark Andrews. I know. I'm just trying to however he was picked up when that week happened. So try to at least let you guys know that that's who we'd favor Schultz ahead of. defense, Houston, Dallas. I say no to Dallas. Drew: No to Dallas. I I don't like Houston either. Amanda: I know, I ha I have Houston rostered and their matchups in the future are good. And so it's do I just hold and hope or drop or sit and get another defense? Drew: I don't I don't wanna yeah, I don't wanna play against Dallas's offense. Like Amanda: I know. Drew: yes, you might get a turnover, but you also could give up thirty points. So Amanda: Absolutely. Drew: no, I'm not interested in their defense this week. just to wrap up the Schultz, Amanda: All right. Mm-hmm. Drew: Schultz or Fannon against the Steelers? Amanda: god, I'd probably go fan and upside. Drew: Okay. Schultz or you say that like Schultz didn't completely destroy me two weeks ago when we played each other. Amanda: Yes. Yeah, but he didn't do much last week, so Drew: Schultz or Colson Lovelin? Amanda: Shultz. Drew: Cole Schultz or Andrews. Amanda: Shots. Drew: Schultz or Tuckercraft? Amanda: Tucker craft. Drew: Schultz or Joan Johnson? Yep. Amanda: Juwan Johnson. Cool. I like getting quizzed and then getting it right. Okay. Arizona Cardinals versus the New York Giants. Betting line favors Arizona at two and a half, and the overunder is set at 44.5. I'm gonna get crazy, Drew: Arizona favored on the road? Amanda: right? I was gonna say most people are walking into the season Arizona, Arizona, booty hole, not gonna do much. You know, they don't look too bad. Drew: Man, that says a lot about what Vegas thinks about the Giants. They are just so beat up. They lost Amanda: It sure does. Yeah. Drew: their all pro defensive end, Brian Burns, last Amanda: Yeah. Drew: week too. Amanda: And this is too like why we look at the betting line because typically like Vegas doesn't like to get it wrong. They like to make men's. Drew: No, they're in it to make money. Amanda: So like you can tr a lot of this, you're like, if something happens and Vegas loses, it was like an anomaly situation, which, you know, that's why we use the betting lines to help guide us make decisions too. all right, Jeremiah Love, Lock Loaded and Go, Michael Wilson, absolutely, and Trey McBride from the Arizona Cardinals are the only options I'm looking at here. Drew: Yeah, it's pretty easy. Amanda: Yep. And then same thing for the Giants. I mean, Cam Scattaboo, we talked about he's lock and load. If you got him, you play him. But Malik Neighbors, we've talked about it at the beginning of the episode of just like it's a sit start decisionary thing. If you feel like you don't have any other options, it's a good matchup for him. Drew: I think he's in the lineup no matter what, because Amanda: Okay. Drew: it's Malik Neighbors and his upsides there. It's like J J last year. Like you weren't benching Jefferson no matter who the quarterback was and he hurt you because of it. But like Amanda: Dude, I don't know who you play fantasy football with, but I told plenty of women last year to put that man's ass on the bench and they won because of it. Plenty. Ladies, please give me a little give me a yes! Women Drew: And how many of them and how many of them actually did it? Then they have more stones than anybody that I know. Amanda: playing fantasy football, ruthless motherfuckers. Someone said last week they were gonna put Joe Burr on the bench and throw Bryce Young into the lineup. And I was like, I would never. No. I said Drew: And you said did you say go for it? And it definitely didn't work. How'd that work out? Amanda: I would never. But I'm just saying there is. They ain't scared, baby, and I love it, okay? Drew: Yeah, I I I Malik, I look, let's see it in a game that's not raining with Jameis. So like give him a chance, right? Amanda: Yeah, I get it. Give him a chance. Isaiah likely too. I think he's a good start this week. And defense, do you take a shot on the Cardinals versus Jameis Wilson Jameis Winston? Okay. Drew: Yeah. Any any time a defense plays against Jameis Winston, you play that defense because he has the he could throw Amanda: What was the one stat of him? Drew: for four hundred yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions. Amanda: Ha Drew: He had a season where he threw for, I think, thirty he had I think he has the only thirty and thirty season in NFL history. In one season, when he was a starter for Tampa Bay back in the day, he threw for thirty touchdowns and thirty interceptions in the same season. And he threw for like Amanda: Crazy. Psycho. I love it. Drew: over five thousand yard like it was an incredible year for fantasy because he just chucked it. Amanda: Chucked the ball, baby. All right, moving on to the Los Angeles Rams versus the Philadelphia Eagles on the Rams side of the football. Matthew Stafford, a good start. Streaming quarterback option if you need somebody there too. Kyron Williams, don't question it. Devontae Adams, Puka if he plays. How do you feel about Tyler Higby with Terrence Ferguson getting hurt and him being now the primary tight end? Drew: No, thank you. Amanda: No, thank you. Okay. Any options for in the world would you start Tyler Higby over? Like, what if you have Colston Loveland and you have no other options? Drew: I don't wanna decide that. Amanda: Decide. Cause I would just start Tyler Higby and I don't care. Drew: Yeah, I mean that's fine. I I don't know. Amanda: I mean, if I'm gonna get screwed by Loveland on my bench, I'll take it. But I'm not gonna get screwed by him in my lineup if I have another option. Drew: One of my favorite things is that I don't have Loveland anywhere because I refuse to spend Amanda: Yeah, me either. It's it does. Drew: that draft capital on a guy that had three games of production as a rookie. So Amanda: Yeah. All right. On the Eagle side, Jalen Hurts against the Rams defense. Do you really want to start him this week? Drew: I don't want to, but I think he's probably a top fifteen guy. Would you play Amanda: I don't. Okay. Drew: Matt Stafford or Jalen Hurts? Amanda: I would play Matt Stafford. Drew: Okay. Kyler Murray. Amanda: Nah, I would play Jalen Hurts. Kala Murray scared me last week. Yes, Kyler Murray's fright. Drew: Even against Miami. Even against Miami. Amanda: Kyler Murray frightened me. He just looked scared. Drew: Why? He's just a little guy. Amanda: He just looked scared. I was like, no. Drew: okay, Jalen Hurts or CJ Shroud? Amanda: Yeah, I'd probably take a shot on CJ Stroud. Drew: Jalen Hurts or Drake May against Buffalo? Amanda: Nah, Jalen Hurts. Drew: I wanna see how low you'd go. Amanda: I know. Hello. Will you go? Saquon Barkley, you're not gonna sit him. Devontae Smith is a good one as well. In any world, are you thinking about a K, Drew: Nope. Nope. Amanda: cool, no other wide receiver? I might, I Drew: Nope. I know what you're gonna ask. Nope. Amanda: think I have like an affinity for Devian Wiggs. I don't understand. I like him. I like him. Whatever. Drew: I I don't know why. It I think it's the size of his head. I think it's the size of his head in that helmet. Amanda: Whatever. Rams defense. Yeah, I like it. Do you like the Philadelphia? Would you would you do that? Because I wouldn't. Drew: if Puka plays no, if Puka is out, yeah, I think you could. Because they're Amanda: Okay. Drew: they've got a really good I mean, they still have a good defensive line and Matthew Stafford under pressure has a propensity to throw a pick or two. not super mobile. And if he doesn't have Puka out there and is down to Cavante Munfield, Can Canada Mumfield, whatever the hell his name is, and no good tight ends, and like I I I think you could play the Eagles defense, but that's dependent on Puka not playing. If Puka plays, I don't play their defense. Amanda: Yeah. Absolutely not. Yeah. All right. Green Bay Packers versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have in a turn of events. Green Bay is favored by three and a half and the overunder is set at thirty-nine point five. Yes, I know. It's very unfortunate. Drew: Yeah, it's because Baker's out. They're playing an undrafted rookie, Jelon Daniels. That's the reason that Green Bay is favored. Amanda: It's just like a shitty Packers playing a shitty Tampa Bay and it's just like Drew: Also Tampa Bay lost to the Browns. So Amanda: Yeah. They look unfortunate right now. All right, let's talk Green Bay. Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Tucker Kraft. Yes, yes, and yes. Other than that, I don't want any other running backs. No. Drew: No, God no. Their offensive line is trash and the running backs don't look very good. So, Amanda: Nope. Drew: Jordan Love I think is a good streaming option this week. I think you can play him. I would play him over I'd play him over Matt Stafford, CJ Stroud, Drake May, Gino, Danny Dimes, all those guys. I would play Jordan Love over because he's gonna have to throw Amanda: Or in love. What if Drew: the ball a ton. Amanda: Jordan Love or Jalen Hurts? Drew: Jordan Love. Amanda: Yeah, I knew you were gonna say that I was excited too. Drew: It's not it's not as hard for me to say anybody but Jay but hurts because I don't think he's that good, but Amanda: Well, I like Jalen Hurts. Mostly 'cause he's hot, but Drew: He's fine. He's a winner. He's a w he's a he's a winner, which is fantastic. I just Amanda: Yeah. Drew: I don't know. I don't think I think Amanda: Alright, so Drew: he receives not enough blame and the coordinators are blamed too often. Amanda: Maybe, maybe. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bucky Irvine. I I mean his li pending health, but it looks like he's okay. Lock loaded, ready to go. how much do we trust the rookie quarterback? Drew: None whatsoever, 'cause I have never seen him play. Amanda: Amecca a Mecca Abuka in your lineup trust? Drew: He is a flex play at best. Amanda: Okay, so Mecca Buka, Khalif Raymond. Drew: Cleave Raymond. Amanda: Yikes Vele Agbuka. Drew: New Orleans versus Atlanta. Amanda: Well that was really good. Drew: I Amanda: Sounded like a professional like sound in the Drew: I would play Vele, but I also think that I would play Vele no matter what. Like Amanda: Okay. Drew: I think Vele should be in lineups this week. Amanda: Okay. Drew: So that's not a great one. Amanda: gosh, I don't have any other Drew: Let me look here real quick. Egg Buka, Stefan Diggs, Nico if he's there, you play him. Here's Amanda: Yeah. Drew: a good one. Emeke Buka or Romeo Dubs? Amanda: Omega Abuka, I just take the shot on him. Drew: Agreed. Denzel Boston. Amanda: Yeah, Denzel Boston. Drew: So do I. Keenan Allen. Amanda: Yeah. If I was projected to lose, I'd play a Mecca Buka. If I had a chance to win it was close, I'd play Keenan Allen. Drew: Okay, get that floor. How about Roma Dunze? Amanda: I would play a Meccabuka. Take the shot on it. I mean, who knows? It could absolutely be a dumpster fire, but yeah, it's Drew: He he's in that he's in that range that's really difficult to pick between. Amanda: it's scary. that's it though for Tampa Bay. Just again, taper expectations this week. We don't know what Jalen Daniels is going to be like. that does make Jalon. Sorry, that does make the Green Bay Packers. Drew: Jaylon Daniels and Green Bay Packers defense is a play. Amanda: I hope so. God, remember last week we said Green Bay Packers, good defense. And in my half PPR league, that does have different scoring. They scored negative seven fucking points. Drew: Yeah, they got destroyed by Michael Penix, but I Amanda: It was great that I didn't I played against that defense. Drew: Yeah, I just throw it out the window and do what history dictates and that is Amanda: Yes. I Drew: undrafted rookie quarterback shouldn't be great. So let's yeah, let's get after him. Amanda: should be scary. Okay, cool. Miami Dolphins versus the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota's favorite at ten and a half. 'Cause it just keeps getting worse for the Miami Dolphins and the overunder is set at thirty eight point five. Are you starting anyone that plays for the Miami Dolphins? How about if you are were the H N manager and you happen to snag Ollie Gordon? Drew: if that happened and you have to play him, then you have to play him. But if I have Amanda: What about Manungai or Gordon? Drew: Monungai. Amanda: Kenneth Gainwell or Gordon. Drew: Can it gain way even playing? I thought he was hurt. Amanda: Yes. Nope, he's plain. Drew: Against Green Bay, I'd probably play Ollie Gordon. Amanda: See Chris Rodriguez. Drew: Chris Rodriguez against Cincinnati. I play Chris Rodriguez. Mm-hmm. Amanda: Jacksonville plays. Yeah. Interesting. Okay. All right. I wanted to go deeper into the into the reservoir. How about like Tyler Algier, Al Legier, or Ollie Gordon? Okay. Drew: Ollie Gordon. Ollie Gordon 'cause it's just volume. Amanda: Okay. but yeah, that's really the only conversation. Is if you're desperate and you need him, go for it. now I wanted to ask you this because we didn't get to at the beginning of the episode. Ollie Gordon was a huge waiver wire pickup, but We did forget to mention that Jalen Wright, or we didn't forget to mention what I think people aren't realizing is Jalen Wright typically technically is the RB two on the depth chart, yes? Drew: He he he was two on the depth chart before he got hurt and then s I it it'll be a platoon. It both of them will play. It won't be one getting all the work like HN was. Amanda: Okay. Okay. No. All right. For the Minnesota Vikings, Aaron Jones, locked and loaded. Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson, or just Justin Jefferson if Jordan Add if Justin Jefferson doesn't play Jordan Addison, okay, both block no matter what. Drew: Both. Yeah, I I think you can play both of them. Amanda: I do too. and any TJ Hawkinson interest and we like them Drew: Nope. I think you I think you can play Kyler Murray this week though. Mm-hmm. Amanda: Kyler Murray. All right. And Kyler Murray, where does he live in your quarterback rankings there? Drew: Below Jordan Love, probably above Matt Stafford if he doesn't have Puka. Below him, obviously, if he does have Puka. Above Drake May. Above Gino. Amanda: Okay. You had above Drake May, Jalen Hurts. Drew: Probably about even with Jalen Hurts. Amanda: Okay. Okay. and Minnesota Vikings defense is a good start against the Miami Dolphins. Drew: Absolutely. Amanda: There's always some of those teams that no matter what team they're playing, you just play their defense. And the Miami Dolphins is one of those teams. The Kansas City Chiefs versus the Las Vegas Raiders, Betty Line has Kansas City favorite at four and a half, and the over-under is set at forty-seven point five. This is the undefeated Vegas Raiders, right? Yeah, I know me too. Drew: Yeah, I'm excited about this game. Actually it's they're both undefeated, I think, right? Kansas State hasn't lost, has they? Yeah. Amanda: They are, right? I'm pretty sure, yeah. and so for Drew: Patty. Amanda: Kansas City, Patty is an auto start now. He's he's earned himself that. Kenneth Walker, talk to me about Rasheed Rice, though. Drew: Yeah. Yeah, I think you play this week. Yep. Amanda: Started. Okay. Is there any issues with his lack of involvement in usage? Drew: Yeah, there's a ton of issues and worries and they're spreading the ball around a lot, but I think he's better than a lot of the other options that you have out there right now, especially Amanda: I agree. Drew: with some of the big guys being hurt. It the the pool this time of year is starting to shrink on how many playable players you have, and we haven't even hit bye weeks yet. So I can't imagine that if you have Rasheed Rice, you have four other better options to play in your wide receivers and your flex spot. So he's probably in most lineups. Travis Kelsey. Amanda: Yeah. Travis Kelsey. Drew: Also should be in lineups this week. It's a great matchup. Amanda: All right, Vegas Raiders. Go for it. Yep. Drew: Ashton Genty, Brock Bowers. Amanda: Yep. Drew: Turn the page. Amanda: Turn the page. Got it. Drew: Yep. Amanda: If you were wide receiver desperate, you're in no way, shape, or form putting Trey Tucker in. Drew: I don't want to this week. Kansas City's defense is good. Amanda: Good, good, yeah. Drew: Yeah. I think this has the potential to be a knockdown drag out seventeen to fourteen type game. If Amanda: Okay. Drew: Vegas' defense is Amanda: They've been good. Drew: what we think they might be, they've been good so far. This is a test right here. This is a huge test. They played New Orleans tough last week. They gave up yards, but they tur they they turned the ball over a lot. Amanda: A lot. They put pressure on him. Yeah. Drew: So yep. Amanda: Any defense consideration there for Kansas City Chiefs or the Raiders? Drew: I would definitely no I say I would not play Vegas because, you know, they're playing the Chiefs. They Amanda: It is the Chiefs, yeah. Drew: also have had double digit fantasy points as a defense for two straight weeks now, maybe three. I don't remember what they did week one. So like maybe, but you don't typically get a ton of turnovers from Kansas City, so I don't think it's a good bet. And I think Kansas City could be a good defense this week. Amanda: I agree. Los Angeles Chargers versus the Seattle Seahawks. They have the betting line set at Seattle favorite at seven and the over under set at forty three point five. I'm just gonna go ahead and give you the honors here. Who are we starting on the Los Angeles Chargers? Drew: Marin Hampton, Ladd McConkey, and that is all. And I don't feel Amanda: Rock on. Okay. Drew: good about either one of them. Amanda: Nope. Me either. My I'm squeezing my butthole just a little bit. I'm like, I'm nervous, baby. Clench the Drew: That's a visual. Amanda: butt cheeks is what we used to say. Seattle Seahawks. JSN. Easy. Cool. Drew: Are you sure? Do you want to play JSN? You sure about that? Obviously. Amanda: I'm sure about that. how about any of the reading bags? Drew: no, I'm not interested in that entire three headed, nasty mess that is gross. I have no idea what they're gonna do. Yeah, Amanda: Three headed dragon bullshit. Drew: they're pretty much full benches for me because I just don't know what is gonna happen. Amanda: Scary wild wild west situation out there. yeah, I think that's it too. I don't think there's any, you know, streaming quarterbacks here on either Drew: Yeah, it's a pretty easy game. Amanda: side of the football, Herbert or or Darnold. Drew: That's crazy. This game could be like a you know, it's over under forty three and a half. This could be a fifty point game and I have Amanda: All defense. Drew: no idea what relevant fantasy players there will be outside of one singular person, and that's JSN. Amanda: Yeah. Either defense. Yeah, agreed. Drew: Seahawks, for sure. Amanda: Obviously. Yes. And you're not interested in a s turnover prone Sam Darnold? Drew: No, he had one bad week. Amanda: in his first week back. Denver Broncos versus Drew: Correct. His butt his butt cheeks were probably still a little sore. It's tough throwing the football when it when your butt cheek hurts. Amanda: Yeah, I I don't I wouldn't know. Drew: It's a joke 'cause his butt was injured and you had just talked about clenching your butt cheeks. Yeah. No, it's fine. It's Amanda: I ha I get it, I get it. I get it. Drew: okay. You don't have to get it. It's fine. You don't have to laugh. Amanda: Denver Broncos versus the San Francisco 49ers betting line set at San Francisco hello favored two and a half. I almost did it. Over under set at 48. And Denver, J.K. Dobbins, Jalen Waddle. Drew: Yep, I think that's it. Amanda: That's it. RJ Harvey? She said with a question mark at the end. Drew: If yeah If you're desperate, but other than desperate Amanda: If you're disparate Harvey Drew: no. Amanda: Harvey Korum Drew: we just did their gal, Philly. Harvey. Amanda: Yeah, I agree. Harvey Pollard. Drew: Why can't I not remember who anybody plays? Baltimore? Pollard. Dis workload. Yeah, workload. Amanda: Okay. Yeah, agreed. all right, 49ers, Brock Purdy, yep. CMC, yep. Debo Samuels, I like it because I don't know if Mike Evans is playing or not, but I like Debo regardless and I don't care. I'm doing it. I would do it. I would do it. I would do it. I would do it. Tell me, okay, Debo or give me some options. Drew: Mmm okay. Okay. No, I'll that's fine. He's not involved. He's not look, Debo is an amazing trade away target because he's had points, a good fantasy points, and everyone else on the forty nineers is hurt. Debo had zero catches last week. His one he had eighty eighty six Amanda: I don't care. Drew: or eighty eight receiving yards. It was a hook and lateral. Gadget play. Every like half of his routes are routes that he's lining up in the backfield and running. He he's i i he's just a gadget player now. I don't think he can go outside and catch ten balls from Brock Purdy because I don't think he's got the legs to do that anymore. I just he's really hard to tackle, so he's good for gadget plays where you can get him the ball in space, but I don't think he can create the space himself. Amanda: But what if Mike Evans doesn't play? Drew: I that I don't think Debo is a good receiver anymore. He is still good with the football because he's a tank, but I don't think he can actually get open downfield. Like I I I don't think unless it's a gadget play he can actually get open. I don't think he's quick enough anymore. Amanda: All right, Shanahan, gadget the man up, okay? Who knows? George Kittle, absolutely. Drew: George Kittle, hell yes. Amanda: Hail Yes defense. Drew: Not really interested in either one of them. Amanda: Me either. Detroit Lions versus the Carolina Panthers, Detroit's favorite at three and a half, and the overunder is set at fifty-one point five. The Detroit Lions, Jameer Gibbs, Amon Ross St. Brown, Sam Laporta, Jared Goff, great streaming Drew: Jared Goff. Yep. Amanda: option, or if he's just your quarterback, how about how Drew: I doubt he's a streamer anymore. He's probably on rosters. Amanda: about Mr. Jameson Williams? Drew: Yeah, I think it's a good option this week. It's a good matchup. Amanda: Yep. Yeah, do I. I'm also just gonna just hold on hope. Drew: Chubby chubby chuba, chuba chubby. Amanda: Chubby Chubber. Chubba. Hubba Bubba. Hubba Bubba Chubba. Hubba. Hubba Chubba Hubba. Drew: Chubba hubba. What's it was it hubba? Hubba Bubba. Hubba Baba. Hubbachubba. Hubbachaba. Hubba chubba. Amanda: All right, Carolina Panthers. Bryce Young. Drew: Hubbachubba, what'd you say? Who? Who? Amanda: Bryce Young Bryce Young Bryce Young. Drew: No. It's a good matchup, but Amanda: Yeah fuck it. What? Bryce Young Jalen Hurt. Bryce Young Jalen Hurt. Drew: Jalen Coker's hurt. I don't think Bryce Jalen hurts. I don't think Bryce Young he's like no no no. I Amanda: likes Tet McMillan. Does he Tet McMillan? Drew: don't think he hates Tetman Millen. I don't think Bryce Young's that good of a quarterback. And if you look like he's much better when Jalen Coker is there for whatever reason. This is the no, Amanda: All right, Jalen, strap it up, baby. Drew: this is the Trevor Lawrence debate. Trevor Lawrence was not good for years and only was good with a certain type of receiver, which he now has in Parker. Amanda: Parker? Drew: I It it's weird, but I some quarterbacks like some quarterbacks love throwing to tight ends and that makes them a lot better. Like Brock Purdy's a very good quarterback, really good at throwing to tight ends, has a really good tight end. If you take a really good tight end out of that offense, I'm not so sure Brock Purdy's doing what he's doing right now. And I think Bri Brock Purdy is way better than Bryce Young is. I don't play Bryce Young this week. I don't care about the matchup. Amanda: Okay, Chubba Hubba Hubbard, you play him. Pat McMillan. Drew: Yep. Amanda: Darren Waller. Drew: okay flex or okay streaming, I mean. Amanda: I think he okay streaming. Yep. I I'd start him over like on a Ronnie Gaston, like Tyler Higby. Drew: a hundred percent. I think you have a better option for a touchdown this week because Coker's out and it should Amanda: That's what I'm saying. Drew: be a higher scoring. So I think Waller could go for he could have three catches for twelve yards and two touchdowns. Amanda: A man, baby. defense. Lions, panthers. Drew: neither. Yep. Amanda: I'm out on both also. Okay. Atlanta Falcons versus the New Orleans Saints, the Monday night matchup. Drew: thank God it's the Monday night matchup. You know what I'm excited about? Amanda: What? Drew: Bye weeks, not because of the players, but because that's less matchups to talk through. Amanda: Less matchups to blab at y'all. all right, they have the betting line favors New Orleans at two and a half and the over-under set at 47.5 for the Falcons, Bijan, Drake London. Yep, yep. Yeah, stinky Pity Drew: Yep. Yep. And that's it. That's the end. Amanda: Pitts. Are you like good to move on from Pity Pitts? Drop that motherfucker. Drop the stinky dude. Bye. Okay. Drew: Yeah, he should be dropped. Land mine. Or or wait one. So like don't if you can afford No, no, no. No, you Amanda: wait till he busts. Wait till he booms, baby. Drew: can't no, because that might not happen until like week twelve. But what happens is so wait, wait the rest of this weekend. And like I said, you want to drop people on Tuesdays as landmines, and Kyle Pitts is a big enough name that someone might pick him up. And you just hope that he has like If he has a great game this week, sure, you're gonna feel like, maybe I can keep him. Don't trade his ass. Trade him if he has a big week this weekend, trade him at get value. Amanda: Don't do it. Yes, yes. Get him off your hands. Drew: If he has like eight points and you're like, I think I could see it here, drop his ass on Tuesday as a landmine and move on. Or trade him, but Amanda: Here's what we're doing. We're watching Dancing with the Stars, ladies. We're gonna drop Kyle Pitts, you know, right when the show starts. Just really throw a wrench into people's Tuesday evening. I like it. I like it. for the New Orleans Saints, Tyler Shuck, lock and loaded. You're good with him still? Yep, so am I. Drew: Yes, absolutely. Amanda: Talk to me about the running back situation if Travis H.N. Jr. misses time. Drew: I think they're gonna split, but I'm only comfortable Amanda: With old man. Drew: I think it'll be Camara and Miller as a as Amanda: And you're only comfortable Drew: a split, but I'm only comfortable playing Alvin until I see a little bit more. And that's and Amanda: Not Alvin and the Chipmunks. Drew: that's mostly because in a ha especially in a half PPR, a full PPR, because like he's gonna catch the football and Kellen Moore offenses depend on a running back that can catch the football. Like they have Amanda: Okay. Drew: a lot of plays like that. Tyler Shuck will check it down. So he'll Amanda: Keep an eye on Kendra Miller. I would s yeah. Drew: Yeah, see how he looks, see if he's got some juice. But if Alvin Kamara, I mean, he could end up with six catches for five yards, but in p full PPR that's six and a half points. So Amanda: Chris Olave, Devon Vele are both great options this week, and Juwan Johnson, as always, remains a tight end you can keep in your lineup. Drew: Jawan Johnson, for those of you out there that picked him up for one reason or another for other tight ends, if maybe for if for Brock Bowers managers, if you had Brock and you had Jawan Johnson, I really hope that you didn't drop drop Juwan Johnson because Bowers, Amanda: I hope you traded him. Drew: because B Bowers came back. No, no. I would keep him. Amanda: flex him. Drew: I would flex him. I'd play both of them. I have both of them in one of my leagues, and I play both of them weekly because Juwan Johnson is better than playing a Mecca Gbuka this week. Like he's gonna have more targets and he's gonna have better targets. Amanda: Yep. That was a good one. Drew: It's a high flying offense. There's certain tight ends every year that just like get targeted a lot. And he's one of them that is very valuable that people just don't think of as being like, you know, the Colston Lovelins of the world. That was a shot at Colston Loveland. but yeah, I Amanda: Yeah. We can tell. Your tone told us. You didn't need to tell. Drew: I also have Joan Johnson and George Kittle in another league, and I'm playing both of them this week. I played Amanda: Yep, that's a good one. Yep. Drew: both of them last week, so Amanda: defense, Saints, Falcons. Yes. Drew: Saints, I think is a good defense. A lot of pressure. Good defensive line. Michael Penix will thr Amanda: Probably leave the Falcons behind. Drew: yep, Michael Penix will throw an interception this week. Amanda: I did make a bet last week for one Michael Penix interception and it happened in quite literally the first play of the game, or first drive of the game, and it was the best thing ever. Drew: But that's it, no Falcons. Amanda: All right, well, that is the last matchup of the week. We're gonna go through for better or for worse matchups. Drew: We don't have to do that. We don't need to go through this. We just skip it this week. We can just skip it this week, it's fine. Amanda: is it because you lost? Yeah, it's because Drew lost all four of his bets and Amanda won three out of four, baby. It's almost like she's better at this. Drew: I want to talk about it. Okay. I'll get let me go through mine real quick. Let me go through mine real quick. Justin Herbert sucks. So he didn't throw for two touchdowns. Amanda: Sucks. Uh-huh. Drew: Marcus Mariota barely made it over. And also Seattle sucked this last week. Denzel Boston, I won on my bet that I placed, which was 40 plus yards, Amanda: Yeah, but that's not what you said on air, baby. Drew: and I set on air forty seven and a half, and he barely missed it. I think he had 42. And Amanda: It's forty one. Drew: I took a shot on Emmett Johnson, just like I Amanda: And failed. Drew: did with Mike Gasicki. I'm not doing that anymore when I'm just taking these shots on cool players. I won't do that. I'm just gonna pick like JSN hundred plus yards and just guarantee wins all season long now. Amanda: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Well, Dak Prescott, the man that you are, did in fact have over 264 passing yards and I could Judkins, you shit on Judkins the whole time. I'm Jordan Addison? Okay, I couldn't have predicted the JJ injury. How many targets did he have before? Before this week, Jordan Addison did shit. And then your girl did it. Drew: Look at these names. You took no you took n zero chances. I shit on Junkins. I'm a Browns fan. I'm allowed to. Jordan Addison. I picked Emmett Johnson. I picked Emmett Johnson. Last week I picked Mike Gosicki. I have Denzel Boston in here, and you're over here like Jordan Addison. Amanda: Listen, I'll make sketchier decisions just it next week I will make sketchier decisions and still beat that ass. Drew: Lame. Probably will. Amanda: this week, because we are recording early, our pr weekly prop that is just on the Brown Steelers game and I'm taking the fucking Steelers. Drew: Yeah, and I've got the Browns and I get the points, which is fantastic. So I do well, it's not Amanda: Some screw you. Drew: my fault. Vegas, what's the line? Minus two and a half. So I get I get if Pittsburgh, minus two and a half. Amanda: It's it's p y Yes, whose favorite? Drew: Pittsburgh. Amanda: Who's favored? Pitts. Drew: I don't care. That means I get two and a half points. That means if Pittsburgh wins by two points, I win the bet. Because that's, you know, how betting works. But yes. No, it's not win or loss. I'm taking the line. Amanda: I don't care. No, win or loss. You're such a freaking cheater. Cheater. If any of Drew's family is listening to this, cheater! Drew: We take the we take the it's a bit it's a betting segment. It's a betting segment. Everything else we do off of the bets, why would we not do it off the bets here? Anyway, prop bets aren't aren't fully up yet, so we Amanda: Yes. Drew: and since we're doing this a little early, we can't pick our prop bets 'cause a lot of the games haven't done yet. Amanda: And obviously we're a little unhinged today. Drew: And since the, you know, Brown Steelers games tomorrow, so the winner will get a full three points towards the score, which is now Amanda seven and three, and Drew three and seven. So Amanda: Feels good to be a winner. All right, guys. That's all we got for you this week. Good luck in your week four matchups.
