• 0:01
  Speaker 1: You know, whenever there is an injury to a big
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: name player, it really throws the entire fantasy season off
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for a lot of people. While that is happening, it
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: seems like every week where there has been all kinds
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of big names going down with injury. And the latest,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: of course, is Jalen Hurts. And so it looks like
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this week, that's sort of the theme of Fantasy Freakin' Football.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Did every guy on your bench go off? Did you
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: decide to set your top scorer because you had a hunch?
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Did your drafting a kicker in the first round strategy
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: not pay off? Then this is the show for you.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Now here to help you set your lineups every week,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it's Eddie and Thor with Fantasy Frickin' Football.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Wow. Really weird week of fantasy for me. I don't
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: know how your week went, Thor, but for me, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: won only in one out of the three leagues. I
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: went 0-3. Did you really?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: After going 3-0. That's brutal.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was a weird week, and the injuries
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: really finally caught up to me. I was already kind
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of thin at running back, and I lost Brees Hall.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I lost Um, all the different guys that I had, um,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Travis HN, I had, I had a bunch of different
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: guys and they were all down. And so, I mean,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I was literally scraping the bottom of the barrel, trying
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and hoping that somebody was going to come through. They didn't.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I think I had the lowest points in our one
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: league that we're in together. Um, but hope is on
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the way. Some guys are coming back. Um, I'm getting
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: through the buys. The other thing that killed me is that, uh,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: the lions were out. I have Amon Ross, St. Brown.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And so, I mean, he's my top guy. And if
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I don't have him, I'm screwed. And then like Josh
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Allen had just a whatever week. And so things like
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that really killed me. But in our work league, I'm
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in first place. And I'm killing it in that league
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: for some reason. I'm just pulling the right strings or
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: whatever and doing everything right in that league. And then
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: my other two leagues, it's just injuries. And I'm just,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: they're killing me. And so it's not a matchup problem.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: It's not anything like that. I'm just getting killed by injuries.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: But I do feel like I'm not panicking yet. There's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: still a lot of time left.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Half the season's gone.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: It is, but I mean.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Week seven is halfway point.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: All I care about is not finishing last in that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: one league. So as long as I don't finish last,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I really don't care.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: You know, me and you are on 11th and 12th
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It might come down to being you, which is brutal.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: It sucks. And so that league, I'm not panicking about.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I made some pretty decent waiver wire pickups this week,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: which I'm pretty happy about. So we'll see. I'm still
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in a kind of optimistic mode here. I'm not freaking
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: out yet. Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And that league where we're 11 and 12, my team's
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: not terrible. I just can't put together like Jordan Love,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Bucky Irvin, Zay Flowers, Justin Jefferson, Isaiah Likely. But what's
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: killing me is Saquon still hasn't played and Jalen Waddle's
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a bust. And it's just, it's just been brutal. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I have to, I'm like considering finally benching Jalen Waddle
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: and starting Demario Douglas. But here's the problem. I don't
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: want to start two Patriots on the same offense. My
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: other one is Ramadre Stevenson. But I may have to
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: start him because Saquon may not play again. But I'm
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: legitimately considering risking Saquon. If Saquon is limited today or
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: limited tomorrow, I may just... bench and and just get
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: through it and go with and just see if he
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: plays on monday.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Because the cowboys were terrible it's such a risk because
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: it's monday.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I know and i could rock i could start rashid
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: white but he's on a buy so i don't know
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: i just that league i'm just i'm just very unlucky
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: right now and then uh in our work league it's
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the same thing i don't think my team is bad.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Dude in the unlucky well you got bad matchup that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: week because you would have beat most of the league
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: With your point total, but you just picked the guy
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that I think had the highest point total.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not stressing about it yet. I'm hanging in there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: We're at the halfway point. I can hear the stress
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: in your voice. You gotta string together a couple W's.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: But it's like, one guy goes out and it kills you.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: I don't have Lamar. I have Lamar in one league,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: but I picked up Jordan Love, so I'm fine. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: I have Zay Flowers. And Zay Flowers has gotten 20
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: targets in two games. But He's not producing because Tyler
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Huntley stinks. So it's like, it's frustrating. Or, you know,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: if you lose Jalen Hurts and you have Devontae Smith,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: that sucks. Though I do... People keep saying the Eagles
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: are done.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: They're mailed it in.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. They spent a lot of money
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: on that defense. The defense is still pretty decent. Not
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of injuries. I think Tanner McKee will play okay.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And if they get Saquon back... I don't think the
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Eagles are going to mail it in. They're a half
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: a game out of first place.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Well, that's the thing. They're in a division where they
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: could still be competitive.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Everyone's saying they're going to trade off this guy. They're not.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: They signed all these big contracts. I don't think the
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Eagles are going to do that. If anything, I think
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: they're going to say, hey, let's see how far we
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: can get with Tanner McKee. Because I think they want
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: to get rid of Jalen Hurts because he's got a
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: big contract and he's not great. He's great in the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Super Bowls for some reason. He balls out in Super Bowls.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: So that wouldn't surprise me.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So don't give up on the Devontae Smiths and those
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: kind of guys? I wouldn't yet.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't because their defense is still decent. I could
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: see them beating the Cowboys on Monday. I could see
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that happening.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are another level.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: The Cowboys are the only team in that division without injuries.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: They just stink.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: And it's so weird. In my OG league, it came
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: down to, I think it was the Sunday night game,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: where I just needed George Pickens to do something. Give
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: me something. And I ended up losing by one point
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: because Pickens. And that was it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: He's getting targets, but there's no big plays.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: He's not scoring one touchdown on the season. It's crazy.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: It's just every time Dak goes back to throw, he's
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: throwing it to CeeDee Lamb, and then every blue moon
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Pickens gets a target.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And I guess he's starting to dog routes, which isn't surprising.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: A guy like Jordan Pickens, if he doesn't get the ball,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: he's going to start dogging routes.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely a weird season so far.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: When last week, yesterday too, sorry, Eddie, yesterday too wasn't
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: really high scoring for most of the league. Like there
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was a lot of like... Oh, Monday night, you mean?
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Monday nights and Sunday.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Monday nights and Sunday. There wasn't a ton of crazy
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: guys going off. A couple guys went off, but for
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: the most part, it was very low scoring.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes fantasy hard to kind of figure out.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And so that's what we're trying to do here. We're
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: going to try to help you out if you've got
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: injury situations or whatever it is. You can hit us
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: up on X at the show Thor, at the show Eddie.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: You can email us your questions, and we'll try to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get to them every week. So like I said in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the beginning here, I got serious theme going on here
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: with a lot of the questions this week, and it
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: seems like the quarterback situation is the theme here. It says,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: one of the first questions says, Lost hurts for the year.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Best quarterback I can pick up is Jameis Winston. Oh, yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's not even playing.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not starting anymore.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: And by the way, that's probably not true. There's probably
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: guys that are available that you just don't want to
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: deal with. Like Jacoby Brissett is available in most leagues,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and he's not the best, but he can get you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: through a week or two until somebody comes back or whatever.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So he has a trade situation. He said he was
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: offered Bryce Young and Jalen Coker, both on the same team, Uh,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: for Justin Jefferson, would you do?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: No, that's insanity. I would not do that. Justin Jefferson
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: has played a game and a quarter with Kyler Murray
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: in the quarter. He played, he had three catches, 50 yards.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And then the game he played, he had like 18
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: or 20 points. So they're just getting started. Justin Jefferson
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: is legit. I'm not trading Justin Jefferson.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is an A, right? Bryce Young was probably
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not even drafted.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: He's okay.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: And he's had a decent year.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: But to give up him, and Coker's been a nice find.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: He's been good.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: But I know that Justin Jefferson's going to be good
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: the whole season.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: If you would have thrown in Tet McMillan, now we're
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: getting somewhere. But I also don't want two guys on
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the same team.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I don't want that either. Unless it's like Dak and
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: CeeDee Lamb when they were balling.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: And you've got to give me a quarterback who I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: know every week is going to ball. For Justin Jefferson.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if I'm giving you Justin Jefferson, you need to
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: give me an A quarterback.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Give me like a Joe Burrow. If you go Joe
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Burrow and Coker, okay, we can talk. But that's a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: terrible offer.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'd laugh at that offer, to be honest with you.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Got another quarterback situation. Says, who do I start at quarterback?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I got three. Jared Goff, Caleb Williams, or Bryce Young.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Who can I safely drop? Who's going to start, and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: then who's going to drop?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I don't want to give up my start and sit
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: this week, but I would start Jared Goff.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Well, you just kind of gave it up. I mean,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think I kind of know now. I know. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: was just like, what?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: But I know the Packers defense looked good last week
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: against the Cowboys, but the Cowboys are awful. I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: trust the Packers' defense yet. They have a lot of injuries.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Micah Parsons is coming back. I think that Lions-Packers game
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: is going to be like 50-50.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Oh, high scoring?
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: So if anybody, I'm keeping Jared Goff, and I'm keeping
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, and I'm dropping Bryce Young. Not that I
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: don't think Bryce Young is good. I just don't trust
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: him yet.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. I think out of the three,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I'm dropping Bryce Young pretty easily. Caleb is back, and
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: he looked like he was fully healthy and fully back.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He was slinging it in the first half. And he
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: threw a touchdown and all this stuff. And then they
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: decided just to run the football. And it kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: cost him because, I mean, the Falcons got back into it.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't watch any of that game. But, yeah,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I saw the score.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Now, Kalem looked really good. And so I think he
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was like 12 for 12, like starting the game. So,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, he did really well. And then they just
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: didn't really need to pour it on at the end.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So he didn't have giant stats. But he's going to eventually,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you know, the hamstring is going to get to the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: point where he can run the football. to. He's going
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to sneak a couple over. So Caleb's a good guy
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to have. But I do agree with you this week.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I would probably go Jared Goff. I'm keeping Caleb and
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm dropping Bryce Young. That's what I would do. Running
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: back situation, running back question. It says, who do I
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: start this week between Ollie Gordon and RJ Harvey, who
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: has had a couple of good games recently? So I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: going to go with Gordon because he's the starter.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, and they had a bye last week, but
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the game previous, he had a really nice game. It
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: was a nice guy to have if you picked him
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: up on the waiver wire, you know, once you heard
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the A-chain was down, if you picked up Ollie Gordon,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that was good. I was just looking.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Listen, the Jets are the Jets. They're decent against the run.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Does that change anything at all? Not for me. Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the guy who I'm guaranteeing
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is going to get touches over a guy who's not.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Because RJ Harvey could have a big game, or J.K.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Dobbins could have a big game.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You just don't know.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: You just don't know.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And yeah, they're definitely figuring out R.J. Harvey a little
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: bit more, and they're involving him in the pass game.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I like all that, but do you trust Bo Nix
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: right now? Do you trust the Denver offense at all?
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I don't at all. That's a good point. So I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: would probably lean towards Ollie Gordon in that one. Final
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: question is a wide receiver question. Picked up Jeremy Bernard,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: who is Aaron Rodgers' top target right now. Should I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: start him over Jamison Williams from the Lions?
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: The only reason why I wouldn't is because I think
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: that game between the Packers and Lions is going to
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: be really high scoring.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: There's only so many targets, though.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I understand. But to me, though, he could have a
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: couple big plays. Who are the Steelers playing?
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: The Saints over in London.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Oof.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: That's tough. That's tough. The Saints are terrible. But this
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: could be... The Saints can't stop the run.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Saints are coming off a big win. What are you
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: talking about, terrible?
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: The Saints are terrible. But I hate those 638s. Just
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: because it's a 6.30 a.m. game, I wouldn't start him.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: What?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I hate those games.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: What does that have to do with anything?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: I hate playing guys on Thursday, and I hate playing
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: guys at 6.30.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, well then, I mean, 10 o'clock spot, that's it.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I just think it's bad luck.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: So I would start Jamison Williams.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I do think that Lions game is going to be
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: pretty decent, pretty high scoring, and he, to me, is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: a more established threat than Bernard is yet. I don't know.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: It's only been two games.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's looked good, but I don't know
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: if I'd fully invest in him yet. I'd wait a week.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and probably go Williams one more week and then see.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: If he does another big week, so be it. Then
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: he's your guy. But as of right now, I'd probably
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: pump the brakes a little bit. All right, let's get
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: to our starts and sits for the week. I already
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: know who your starter is. I did ruin it. My quarterback.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I did ruin it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Can't believe it.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: But I'm going to go with Jared Goff. Jared Goff
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: and Jordan Love, to be honest with you. They're playing
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: against each other. Big in-division game in that division because
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: they're both 4-2, so they both need to win. I
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: think that game's going to be really high scoring. In Detroit, too,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: so it's no weather.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: My start this week may surprise you a little bit.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go with Kyler Murray. Oh, wow. So
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: they're taking on Indianapolis because Minnesota is coming off a bye. Indianapolis, ooh,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about sellers. They're about ready, too.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I remember they were one of my teams that was
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: going to suck this year. beginning of the year i
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: said that oh you remember.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I remember i also said that the vikings were going
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to be undefeated at.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: This point okay you didn't say that i mean did
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: i i don't.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Remember uh but anyway uh i do think kyler is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: going to have a big game they're coming off a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: bye he looked good in the game right before uh
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they went on by he's starting to figure out the offense.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Crushing him and i'm like he doesn't have justin jefferson
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: just jefferson's their whole offense like their whole offense revolves
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: around justin jefferson if you don't have him it kills you.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It's tough So I do like Kyler Murray this week.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to have a good game against
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the Colts. Who's your sit?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Staying at that game.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Daniel... Okay.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Jones.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: This makes me feel— Okay, every week I felt like
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you were talking about Mike Gusecki. Now every week you're
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: talking about Daniel Jones. I think he was your Sid
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I was right.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: And you crushed him. I was right. But you could
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: say that every week. I mean, he sucks.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: He's got four touchdowns and six picks. He's atrocious.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: No kidding. He's Daniel Jones. People go, what happened to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Daniel Jones?
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Nothing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: This is who he is. He sucks.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: He had a decent six weeks last year. This is personal.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: And they stupidly gave him a big contract coming off
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: an Achilles injury. And he's going against the best defense
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: in the league.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. If you have Daniel Jones and are
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: playing him, you're a mess. Sucks. Okay, we got that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: My sit this week, this again could come as a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise, but I am calling for
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: the upset this week. I am picking the Seahawks to
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: defeat the Chiefs.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: The undefeated Chiefs.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: This is a Think about this, right? You got the
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: NFC North, who you could have three teams make the playoffs.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: And then you got the NFC West, where you have
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: three teams that need to make the playoffs. But the
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Seahawks and the Rams are kind of in must-win right
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: now because they need to keep up with the Niners
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and the NFC North.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: It's going to be tough.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Two and four.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they have a big lead right now. And so
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks are back against the wall. And so they
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: got to win this game. The Chiefs are, I believe,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a soft undefeated right now. I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: don't fully think that they're killing it.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: I think the Chiefs are... one of the best teams
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: in the league. But I don't think there's any great
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: teams in the league.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: They're a well-coached, well-played team.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: But this isn't the Chiefs from five years ago.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: No, they're not dominating anybody. And give them all the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: credit in the world. But they don't have to. They're
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: winning games. Kenneth Walker is the MVP. He's the MVP
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: right now. So my guy's unbelievable. But are they winning
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: games because of Patrick Mahomes? And look at his fantasy stats.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Are they crazy? No. Not really? No.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: To his credit, they have no weapons whatsoever. I mean,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: Rasheed Rice is not playing. Xavier Worthy is whatever. Travis
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Kelsey is old. They have one guy who's just dominating
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the league right now.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: In Kenneth Walker. So you're taking on a very tough
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Seattle defense. Seattle's, like you said, kind of in a
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: must-win territory. I think Seattle wins the game, and I
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: don't think Patrick Mahomes has a big game.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Write it down.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I'm going to write that down. Okay.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I hope you're right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I can't stand the Chiefs.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: All right. Ruddy Back, who's your start?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: This guy was kind of a bust last week, but
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: the Steelers have a good run defense. Now they're at
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: home against the Panthers. I don't know if Mayfield's going
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: to play or not, but Bucky Irvin, I think. He's
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: still getting the touches. They kind of scared you a
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: couple weeks ago with the Sean Tucker crap, but luckily
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: he's hurt.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: So.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Luckily?
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Why is it luckily?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Because if you have Bucky Irvin.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, you do. I do. So you're saying luckily dessert?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: That's one of the best stuff. Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: So I'll start Bucky Irvin.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Guess what, sweetie? I'm picking Bucky Irvin.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: There we go.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: We should really talk about this next time. Well, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: if we're both in on the guy, he better be
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: good this week. Yeah, no, he's coming off a dud
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: last week. I mean, it was a bad week for Bucky.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And you got to learn from that. You know, I mean,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Bucks got to do better. And so I think
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Bucky has a big game against the Panthers as well.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Who's your sit? If we have the same sit, we're
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: in trouble.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I like that you have the Seahawks beating the Chiefs,
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: but I don't like Emmanuel Wilson. He had two good weeks.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: He had one good week for me. We got 20 points.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Then he got 12. Then he had five. And now
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: it's like, all right, that Emmanuel Wilson run is over.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: So I'm sitting him against the Chiefs.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean, until Zach Charbonnet comes back, their
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: running game is just terrible.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: They look like idiots right now for getting rid of
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: It was not a good move.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: It wasn't a good move. The NFL, the days of,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: you could draft a running back anywhere.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Or you could play anybody.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Or you could play anybody. Not true. Clearly not true anymore.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: My sit this week is a guy that I was
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: pretty thankful I had last week. He didn't, in the end,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: help me that much. But he was able to score
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: a touchdown against your Giants. I'm talking about Alvin Kamara. Now,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Alvin is a hit away from being done for the season.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: You saw in that game he went down with a
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: back injury or something like that. He was injured at
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: some point, but he did come back in to his credit.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I just, at this point, he's like.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: The Saints stink. It's embarrassing that Giants lost that game.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: No, it's not good. The Saints are terrible.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: It's not good. That's as bad as... Losing at home
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: like that, the Saints are bad.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't trust Kamara. I'm kind of like
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: him and Mike Evans. They're always hurt. They're always banged up.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Dude, every time Mike Evans catches the ball... He grabs something.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And it's so odd. And he's so good. He's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: so good. I trust Mike Evans way more than I
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: trust Kamara at this point.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But it's tough to trust him and put him in
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: every week.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Because they're always hurt.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: They're going to go down at some point. So, yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I don't like Kamara. And 630 game. Oh. I can't
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: do it. Never start. Can't do it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Never start.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Wide receiver, who's your start?
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: I'm going with two guys because I couldn't decide.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You can't do that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: But they're on the same team. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: At Detroit.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Was I right about Golden? You were right about Golden.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: I think Christian Watson, who should have had a touchdown,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: by the way, caught the ball over the middle, untouched,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: and ran, and they called it dead.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: But then he did catch a touchdown. Remember that one?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: He didn't last week? He catch a touchdown? Did he?
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: He may have. I can't remember.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: But he should have had a big play over the middle.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: They called it dead. So I think Christian Watson and
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Matthew Golden go off against Detroit.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Wow. All right. A little worried about this. Oh, no.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: My start, it may make sense, but it doesn't because
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: of what I said earlier. It's tough. At some point.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle has to have a game.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: You think so?
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: And who would they play in the Cardinals, right?
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: So the Cardinals have given up the fourth most fantasy
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: points to wide receivers. And so I don't really think
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to be Cortland Sutton. At some point.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: They gave up so much for Jalen Waddle.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Like Sean Payton's got to figure
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: this out. And he's, you know, back in there. He's
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: calling plays, all that stuff. they got i i i
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: gotta imagine it's this week yeah if it's not this
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: week you're done.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Because i'm at the point too where if it's not
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: this week i'm gonna start benching him yeah i get
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: it douglas i totally get it because he's just i'm done.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I'm putting my name out there for jaylen why i
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: hope he gets he better do it yeah if not
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: he's reached.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Uh he's reached uh over 50 yards once this year.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Not good not good crazy yeah so this could be
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the week for Jalen Waddell. We'll see. Who's your sit?
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: This is a guy I have, and I don't think
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I'm going to start him.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Jalen Waddell? No.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Ever since they traded Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson has
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: been like MIA.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Which is weird.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: Which is really weird.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: We think he'd be more.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know the Broncos don't have Patrick Sertan.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he's playing on Sunday. I haven't
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: seen that he is. But I still would sit him.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Broncos defense is still really good. And even though it's
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: in Arizona, I'm going to sit Michael Wilson.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: That's tough. My sit this week kind of goes along
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: with your quarterback sit. Colts are done, I think. So
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Josh Downs to me.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just drop them in the league.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Well, you should. Because you're taking on the best defense
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: in football in the Minnesota Vikings. That Colts, I mean,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I'd be worried about Jonathan Taylor, too.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have him, which sucks. The thing with
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor is if I'm the Colts and I'm smart,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you're not going to get a first-round pick for Jonathan Taylor.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Let's forget about it. 27 years old, big contract. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: we are seeing from Derrick Henry that you can hit
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: 30 and still be legit.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He's still great.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: And he's still great. That being said, if I'm the Colts,
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: if I can get a second-round pick for Jonathan Taylor,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I'm trading him. Because you need to rebuild.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: You know who needs him? Giants.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Could you imagine?
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Would you give up a two for Jonathan Taylor? They
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: only have five picks in the draft.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh. I would... Uh-oh.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: That's so tough, man.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: That's so tough. But to me, yeah, I don't know.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I would do. But if I'm
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: a team like, I don't know, the Texans, I would 100%
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: trade a pick for Jonathan Taylor. I'm all in this
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: year if I'm the Texans.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Well, they're not going to trade him in division, though.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: That's the whole thing.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. I didn't think about that. But
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: if I'm the Colts, I'm saying they don't have a
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: first-round pick this year. They'd give up two ones for
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Swals Gardner, who's hurt again. So I would trade him
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: if I'm the Colts.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. But anyway, Josh Downs, not playing him.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: He's done. Tight end, who's your start?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: So I'm only starting him because Colby Parkinson's out for
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: the Rams and Devontae Adams is out for the Rams.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: So you can't just throw to Puka Nakua. So Tyler
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Higbee is my starter this week against the Raiders.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Just wait. My start this week is going to be
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard. Going against Dallas. So Dallas on Dallas.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Dallas on Dallas.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Why would I pick somebody who is playing on the Eagles,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: who don't have Jalen Hurts anymore? I get all that.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: But if I'm this quarterback, who am I throwing to
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: besides Devontae Smith? I got nobody, man. And I need
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to dump the ball off, right? And so... The running
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: backs aren't good.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: There's nobody to throw to. So I got to imagine
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to get a lot of targets. That's the
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: only reason why I'm going with this because I don't
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: really trust him yet. But Dallas, again, Dallas stinks. Their
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: defense is terrible. And so if Philly has any chance,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: I imagine they're going to do a lot of dump-offs
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to Dallas Gardner. That's why I like him this week.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Who's your sit? Listen.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz had that massive game a few weeks ago.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Hasn't really done anything since. And the one thing the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Giants defense.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I just dropped him. Yeah. Okay. So there you go.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: And the one thing the Giants defense is surprisingly good at,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: they kind of shut down tight ends. They shut down
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Jawan Johnson last week. They shut down Trey McBride the
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: week before. So I'm not going to start Dalton Schultz
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. My sit this week... Oh, no. Is Tyler Higby.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, you bastard.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: That's right, buddy. No. That's right, buddy. Listen, Rams, I mean,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: what else needs to be said? It's crazy what is
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: going on with the Rams. They are so injured. They
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: are so done. This is the team that was supposed
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to go undefeated this season. Like, what the heck? Their
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: running game is top-notch. Kyron Williams is having a phenomenal year.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Blake Horne is getting more touches.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: Kyron Williams did just come out and kind of criticize
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: the coaching staff, though.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Well, they're not going to do anything about it. I mean,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: he's that good.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I know, but I wonder if they'll give him less touches.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Could be. Well, listen, if you have Blake Horne, then
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: maybe it's starting to benefit you a little bit. But
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you look at their passing game, and I don't– I mean,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: to me, it's just not very good.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Well, is Stafford showing his age?
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: He kind of is. I mean, he's doing some weird
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: stuff that I'm just like, ooh, that's not good. And
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: so I know that that's going to be kind of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the darling pick. You obviously are all in on Tyler Higby.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: I'm starting.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: The greatest tight end of all time.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I never said that. I just said I think he's
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: going to.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Have a good game. I'm just like, the Rams, I
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: think they're in trouble. I think they may lose this
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: game against the Raiders.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: That would be crazy.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be crazy?
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: That would be crazy. Yeah.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Mark, hear me out. If Dark doesn't get hurt in
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: week two, they beat the Rams in that game. And
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: the Rams would be one and five right now.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Wait, who?
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: When the Giants played the Rams.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: But we're not talking about that. I know.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying. What the heck are you talking about?
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: I'm just saying the Rams haven't been good all year.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: No, I realize that. Anyway, sit Tyler.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: That'd be crazy. If the Raiders win this game, that'd
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: be pretty crazy.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: The Raiders are playing good.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: If they lose the game, I wonder if they start
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: to think, okay, we've lost three in a row. Do
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: we start Fernando now?
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, they only lost the Bills by three points. Yeah.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And that was a competitive game. So, I mean, the
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: way the Rams are playing right now, all the injuries.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: I think they may win that game.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Which would be unbelievable. It really would be unbelievable. All right.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: So hopefully, you know, your guys stay healthy and hopefully
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: you go out there and get a win.
