  Speaker 3: know the Hustlers Energy Lock Pick of the Week, where

• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Let's go and get into it. The week two top
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: performance was crazy. They did their thing. They balled out.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: These are guys who are going to straight up, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: they straight up carry the lineups, and they probably going
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: to carry for most of the year. This guy been
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: carrying for about five, six years now.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I ain't going to lie.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: He helped me get my only fantasy chip. That was,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: let me not tell that one. But anyway, Jonathan Taylor
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: running back from the Indianapolis Colts, 29.2 fantasy points. 24 carries,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: 92 yards, had four catches, 40 yards, and also had
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: two TDs, 132 total scrimmage yards. Did his thing. He
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: been holding it down for the Colts for some time now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: You can lock him. You can pretty much just set
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: him in the lineup and forget. You can do the
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: same thing with this next guy. I had him last season.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Definitely miss him. Wish I could have got him again.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: That's JSN, Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. Seahawks wide receiver, 42.5
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: fantasy points.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That is insane. Nine catches, 156 yards, three TDs. And
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I ain't going to lie.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I thought he probably would have got knocked down a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: peg when Darnell went out.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: But he quarterback proof. He proving that. He QB proof. So, hey, look.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: JSN, depth taxes in JSN. That's all I'm going to say.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen, another one. Locked 43.3 fantasy points, 248 yards,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: three titties, 69 rushing yards, two rushing titties.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Five total touchdowns is insane. Dalton Schultz, he on the
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: waiver wire in my league. This guy, hey, did big things.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Didn't even score either. Had 26 points, 12 catches, 140
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: yards for those in the PPR leagues.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's 26 points. Then Carolina defense.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, are the Falcons that bad or the Carolina defense
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: that good?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: They scored 24 points, three points allowed, three interceptions, two
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: fumble recoveries, two sacks, one tutty. Them was just studs
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: at each position. Let's talk about, you know what I'm saying,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: these injuries. Let's recap these injuries. Before I get into it,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: prayers up to these players as always. You never want
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to see it. Unfortunately, Injuries are a part of the game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So it's just bound to happen. And so I'm going
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: to go into this injury recap. It was pretty thick
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: this time. I ain't going to lie to you. Jay
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and Dez, I had them last season. The same elbow
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: injury from last season. Had the same injury Sunday against
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the Cowboys. Left the game. Probably won't start. He probably
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: going to miss some time. Elbow injury. Caleb Williams had
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: a hamstring injury.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: That's tough. I had him last season too. I ain't
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: gonna lie. He was on the waiver wide for us
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: last year. He went crazy.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, but I will, before I keep going though, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: saw some crazy stuff on the internet, man. They was,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: they was knocking Caleb cause he gave the thumbs up
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to the crowd. Cause they felt like, you know, when
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: people get carded off, it should be, if you give
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: a thumbs up, let the crowd know you good.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It should be a fallen soldier type vibes or, you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: you done for the year. You done. for your career.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I ain't going to lie. I saw when he got
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: hurt and when he went down. Hey, look, we all know.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You fall down in this non-contact, you in trouble.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: And when I saw him go down, just like most
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: of the Bears fans, I'm sure was holding their breath.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, I ain't going to lie. That one wasn't fair.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And one thing I think missing from this world is grace. Man,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: we don't give nobody grace. Everybody got everything figured out,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: and that's just crazy. Man, we all trying to figure
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: this out. It's hard enough as it is. So, Kayla Williams,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: get back well. Get back soon, bro. Look, I know
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: when you went down, you probably thought it was over.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, we all did. We all did.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: But we're going to keep it moving, though. Baker Mayfield
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: had the right shoulder injury. He tough as nails, though.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Saquon Stinger, neck injury. Ashton Gentry had an ankle injury.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: He came back, though.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: J.K.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Dobbins, hamstring. Jadarian Price, chest injury. Aaron Jones, knee injury.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Rico Dottletoe, I saw something about him. He might play
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: this weekend, though, so stay posted on that. Keep checking
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Twitter or X or wherever you get your news from.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Make sure y'all checking that. Jonathan Brooks, man, it's unfortunate
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: for him, though, because I know his whole first couple
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: years in the league been plagued by injuries.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I believe he got hurt that last year in college.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: He just can't get right. I don't mean that as
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: a joke, but, yeah, look, we hope you get back, man.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: He had a groin injury. Mike Evans had a hip injury.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Jaden Reed, Jaden. Jaden Reed had a neck injury. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: believe he going to miss time. Alec Pierce going to
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: miss some time. Ankle and heel injury. I got him too.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Demarcus Robinson, ankle injury. Caleb Douglas, ankle injury. Dallas Goddard, knee.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I saw he probably going to miss some time. Eli Raritan, thigh.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: David Njuku, knee. He hit the hour. Charlie Kolar, forearm.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: He hit the hour as well. Mason Taylor, thumb injury. Hey,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: like I say, prayers up.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: We always, you know, praying.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: That 100% recovery or close to as 100% as possible.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: So with that being said, we got to, hey, next
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: man up mentality. And that's the perfect segue into these
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: hustler pickups. Waver, Wise, Scoop. Only got a few as
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: early in the season. And I know it's kind of
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: hard to keep looking for new talent this early in
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the season when everything not ironed out yet. But I
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: got three names for you that I really like. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised they're not as rostered. as they could be
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: from what I'm seeing. I'll say that from what I'm seeing.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: First up, hey, look, the guy Denzel Boston, you know
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: what I mean, from Cleveland, 26.4% roster.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: He just got dropped in my league. You see he available.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Five and a half targets average over the first two weeks.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Now I get it because he played for the Browns.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You may or may not trust it. 17.2 fantasy point
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: average this season.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Dang. In two games, if he averages 17, that sure
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: as they come. You know what I mean? So, look.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Denzel Boston, hey, look. Go get him. If he available
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: in your league.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Which 74% of leagues say that he is, go get him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: And he got Carolina this week.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Carolina middle of the road passing defense. But the thing is,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Boston is clearly the number one receiver in Cleveland. He's
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: averaging 93% of the snaps so far in the two games.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Don't play with it. Don't leave him out there. He
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: can ball. He's the number one in Cleveland. You should
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: be able to trust it. 17-point fantasy average in two games.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Trust it. Next up is Dontavian Wicks. You know, A.J. Brown,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: not with them this season. He's 26% roster.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: He's averaging five targets a game, 77% of the snaps.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: He's clearly the number two receiver up there in Philly.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Averaging 13.9 fantasy points a game this season. They play
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: the Bears on Monday night, so if you got a
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: late scratch or a late injury, you know, tours or
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: a late scratch, same thing. In the weekend, he available
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: in your league. 74% tell us he is. He available
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: in your league. Go get him. Go get him. The
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Bears are middle of the road up for his passing
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: defense as well. Fantasy points that they give up to receivers.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: So Dontavian Wicks is a good waiver add and has
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a great opportunity to keep the momentum going.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Great one. Check him out. You need receiver help.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Next up, last on my list, like I say, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: only had a few names because it's very early in
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the season. I think we're still trying to iron some
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: things out this early. Dalton Schultz. Dalton Shawson, look, 21% roster.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: That's crazy to me because he ended the year off
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: last year pretty good.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: He is sure as they come.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like, he's a baller. He's
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: a gamer. Check him out. Tight end. 67% of the
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: snaps for Houston this year. He the number one tight
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: end on the depth chart. Like I said, he was
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: the top performing tight end this past week. I told
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you he had 12 catches. 140 yards, had 14 targets
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: that game.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: C.J. Stroud looks for Dalton Schultz.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: You need tight end help already or you want to
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: show up your tight end slot with a backup, go
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: get this guy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: The numbers do not lie. He's a favorite target of C.J. Stroud.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: And like I told you, with the 14 targets and
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: the 12 catches, he scored 26 fantasy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Points with no tutties. Y'all know how hard that is?
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: No teddies. None. And scored 26. Look, like I said.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: If you want to show up your position, show up
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: your tight end for the season and grab your backup already,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz is a guy you can count on. Stroud
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: love him. They got the cost this week. Give up
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: the fifth most.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Points, fantasy points, the tight end so far in two
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: games this year. Check him out. He got a good
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: chance to do something crazy.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Don Schultz, look, I gave you– oh, I gave you
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Dontavian Wicks, Denzel Boston, Don Schultz. Those three names, that
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: was the hustlers pickups. Look, not a decision time for
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: this upcoming week. Start sick, risk it or bench it. Hey,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: I know it's already tough. Look, the playoffs, plan for
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, start right now. It actually started two weeks ago.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Started in week one. Some people fell to 0-2. Some
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: people got the 1-1. Some people got the 2-0.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: You're still in it. But the playoff position is starting now.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Don't wait until midseason and you're looking like, oh, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: got a shot. Nah, you got a shot right now.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: And the only way to keep that shot is making
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: sure you make the right risk of the bench it calls. Look,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: every week we're going to put a lot of players
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: that make you sweat.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: You're on the fence about it. Should you risk it
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: or should you bench it? Here we go. I'm going
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to be honest.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: After seeing what he done this last week, and I'm
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: looking at the numbers, right?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I know you can see them right here on the graphic.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: 76 yards, 130, 13 fantasy points. The thing with Travion
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: is I know they're trying to keep Ramondre's job because
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: they paid him, but he got a fumbling issue. You
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: got fumbling issues, it's hard to trust you. The young boy,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: he electric, bro.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: He electric.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Because I don't know if y'all saw that TD he
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: broke on, but he electric. He electric. I would say
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: risk it. They got the Jags this week. They middle
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: of the road versus the running backs. Like I said,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: 76 and a 30. I like the momentum. Ramondre not
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: really doing a lot to keep him off the field. So, hey, look,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: if I got Travion, if you got Travion, I would
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: risk it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: BTJ.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Here's another one that he has some high expectations. He
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: ain't in Marvin Harrison territory yet, but he ain't doing
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: nothing to get away from it either, though. Look, they
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: got the Patriots this week. Bench this guy. Bench this guy.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: The Patriots are 11th in fantasy points to wide receivers.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: BTJ has three catches, 40 yards, and seven touchdowns. fantasy
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: points in both of his games. So you see it right.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: For 2026, he got six catches, 11 targets, 80 yards.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: He did three, 40, and seven in both games. That's
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: mid as it come. Mid as it come. And I
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: know BTJ got talent. We know he cold. For whatever reason,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: it's not clicking. If you a BTJ manager this week.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Pitch that. bench that. Don't even play with that. Don't
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: even play with that.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Quinn Sean Judkins versus the Panthers. This to me is
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: a smash risk.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: You risk this. No questions asked.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: The Panthers are the worst team in the league versus
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: the run through two games.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Think about it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: They just killed Atlanta. They got killed by Chicago. Now,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: they've been on opposite sides of two blowouts. And they're
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: still the worst team in the league versus running backs.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: They're giving up 32 fantasy points per game to running backs.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: 203 scrimmage yards per game to running backs. This, to me,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: is a smash start. Don't second guess it. Don't play
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: with it. Quinshawn Judkins versus the Panthers, you risk that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: All right, Corden Sutton, as y'all can see on the graphic,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: this is my, I manage him.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I'm benching this, I'm benching this.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rams are 19th in fantasy points, giving up
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: the receivers, but that, I believe that skew because of
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: the blowouts that they've been involved in. They got killed
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: versus the 49ers. They just killed the Giants last night.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: But the thing about that is, even though the other
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: side of the ball may support Sutton, I just don't
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: like what I see from Sutton's involvement in Denver's offense.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: He had a crazy year two seasons ago. Last season
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: was eh. And this season has been extra eh. Like,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know, bro. I don't know. I got to
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: see more of a Sutton before I trust throwing him
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: in the lineup, and you bench that with the quickness.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin. Look, I know a lot of people like
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: his production. To me, I feel like it's always middle
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: of the road. We know the talent is there. But
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: this weekend against the Seahawks, I'm benching that. Benching that,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: benching that, benching that. Mariota's the starter this week probably,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: more than likely. I'm not trusting him against Seattle. Seattle
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: gives up the least amount of fantasy points to wide receivers.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: McCorn is going to have a tough day to me.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: I don't see enough evidence that he's going to have
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: a good day. The commander's receiver room is a little crowded.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Like I said, Seahawks giving up the least amount of points.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: So for me, Terry McCorn managers, he was on my roster.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: He got to hit that pine. Got to hit that pine. Hey,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: and last on the risk of the bench, it calls
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts. Listen, he got the Packers this week. You
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: have to bench him. One, he's a Thursday night game.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: And the thing is, though, too, we've seen games from
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Pitts where he just go absolutely nuclear. However, this situation
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: ain't even really about Pitts for real. This one, in
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: my opinion, is more about Atlanta's QB situation. It's going
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: to be Pennix's first game this Thursday. Right now, the
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: QB room is not that good to me. It don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: look good. Because what happens if Pennix is not all
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: the way healthy and they rush him back? And then
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: he have to leave the game. You got to go
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: back to who? Cooper Rush, Jack Strand. We already saw
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: what that's going to look like.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: And then it's a Thursday night game. I hate to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: have my tight end slot locked up. But Thursday game,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: and he does nothing. So, hey, but we know Pitts
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: is like that. So, for me, take a wait-and-see approach
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: when it comes to Pitts for the season. But this
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: week coming up, got to sit him. Got to sit him.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Got to sit him. Hey, look, that's it on the
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: risk of the bench. Start sick calls. Hit me in
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: the comments. Tap in on X. Let me know what
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: you're thinking. I'll get back to y'all for sure. Look.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Right now, next up, we got to hit that hustler's energy.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Got to hit that hustler's energy lock pick of the week.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: It's actually one of the guys who was in the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: risk of the bench category, the start-sit category. Me, got
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: to go with Quinn Sean Jerkins. Got to go with Jerkins.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: To me, the Browns are okay so far.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: They're one and one. Look, he hasn't done much over
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: the course of the year. You look at the numbers
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: right here, they're not good. Or they're actually horrible.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: But to me, being that they're playing the Panthers, this
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: is a great shakeback game. I told you earlier, even
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: though the Panthers dogged Atlanta and they was the number
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: one scoring defense this past week, they got the worst
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: run defense in the league so far. I told you
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: they give up the most amount of points for fantasy points,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: but they also statistically give up the most yards so far.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: If there's any game I'm willing to bet that somebody
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: going to go crazy on, it's a decent player playing
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: a horrible run defense, at least horrible to this point
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: of the season. To me, two weeks ain't enough time
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: to call the defense the worst, but it's enough to say, hey,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: by week three, a guy should have a crazy day.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: And to me, this is my lock pick.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: This is who I'm throwing away to Keough because of
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: the matchup that he has in.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Week three, I believe is insane.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: All the way in his favor, and it takes some
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: of that pressure off the rest of the Browns players
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: to perform where the rest of the Browns players, specifically Deshaun.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: You can lean on that run game.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: There's going to be some happy Browns fans come Monday.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: So that's my Hustlers Energy Lock Pick of the Week. Listen,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: we almost out of here. Make sure you tag us
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: in any questions you have. Hustle Sports Net on X,
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: B Hustle Sports Network on Instagram, Facebook. Before we get
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: out of here, we got a fantasy community debate.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And here's the question.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: How many weeks do you give a highly drafted player
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: before draft capital stops mattering to you and you treat
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: them solely based on the role in production? For me, uh,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: If you got to put a number on it, I
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: think week four is the week. Now, for y'all out
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: there watching, do you give him two weeks, three weeks,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: four weeks, or as soon as he not producing, you
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: ready to cut bait?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Let me know.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: For me, the reason why I say four weeks, as
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I've been saying the whole episode, I think we still
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: in a super early part of the season.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: To where we've.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Seen players, as long as they're on a decent team,
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: they just got off to a slow start, maybe the
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: wrong injury to the line, like whoever, an important piece
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: of what they're trying to do, that may.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Be a reason for sometimes a slow start.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: So I say four weeks because I think by week four,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: you are who you are. I mean, there's only 17 games.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: So by week four, I think you are who you
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: are when it comes to this football stuff. Because you
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: only got so much time to get it right, you
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, to get it together. That's my
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: piece on it. Let me know what you think. Let
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: me know what's your timeline on getting people together. Hey,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: when you cutting bait or when you trying to look
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: to trade or whatever, whatever you're trying to do to
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: show up your playoff spot. Because you already know, we
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: are here to get a dub. Look, today I gave
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: you the top performers, injury recap, Risk it or bench it, Carl.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That's my start-sit segment. I said a hustler's pickup. That's
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: the wave of gems. I gave you the hustler's energy
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: lock pick of the week of somebody who I'm guaranteeing
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: going to go crazy. And then we closed out on
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: that fantasy community debate. Look, you found this helpful? Check
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: out that fantasy football 2026 playlist. And also check out
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: last season's playlist. It could be some tidbits that could
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: help you get a dub on there as well.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm T-Will.
