  Speaker 1: All right. Well, here we go. This week is the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: first time Thor and I will be facing off each
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: other in fantasy. This is going to get interesting. But
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: unfortunately for Thor, he's dealing with the injury bug.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Did every guy on your bench go off? Did you
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: decide to set your top scorer because you had a hunch?
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Did your drafting a kicker in the first round strategy
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: not pay off? Then this is the show for you.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Now here to help you set your lineups every week,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: it's Eddie and Thor with Fantasy Frickin' Football.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But it's so crazy because I feel like every year
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we're saying, man, does it seem like there's more injuries
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: than ever? But it's not. I mean, every year we
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: have to deal with this. Now, for you, that is
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the case. I don't understand what's going on.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Last year I lost four of my first five draft picks.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And now this year, I've only lost one guy for
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: the year, knock on wood, which is Dart, which sucked.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Because he was... I don't know if he was.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Well, you went all in on him. I told you
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: not to do that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: He was good.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I told you not to do that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: He was poised for a bigger fantasy year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I told you not to do that.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: And then that killed Isaiah Likely, who I got in
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: one league. And in that first... Their one game together,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: he had 27 points. So that sucks. Because since then,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: James Winston's been terrible and he can't get in the ball.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: So I don't have a tight end. And then... And
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: then Zay Flowers got hurt, and he came back. He's
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: missed two games because he missed a half. Then he
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: missed a game, and then he was on 20 snaps
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the third game. And then I'm like, all right, well,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: everyone's healthy again. Then Justin Jefferson gets hurt. And then yesterday,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Jalen Waddell was seen in a walking boot. I'm like,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: you've got to be kidding me. And then Bucky Irvin,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this, he didn't play
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the whole fourth quarter, and everyone's like, is he hurt?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: He's not on the injury report. So for some reason,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Todd Bowles just benched him for the fourth quarter. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I was watching that game. He didn't do anything. Todd Bowles,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: that guy's done in Tampa. But yeah, it just sucks.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: And then in the league we're playing each other in,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I lost Brees Hall, but luckily I have his backup.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: So that kind of saved me. But yeah, man, injuries, injuries, injuries.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes it tough. You know, I've had injuries sprinkled,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: you know, across my three leagues. I had Caleb Williams
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: in one league. Things like that will happen. I do
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: have Brees Hall in one of my teams. A couple
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: of injuries here and there. Jordan Mason was one of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the other ones that I had that week one he's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: done for however long. So those kind of things suck
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: for sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: And I'm so over the BS too of He hurts
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: his ankle or hurts his hamstring, and it's never that serious.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: He could have returned if it was a playoff game,
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and he should play the following week. And then three
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: weeks later, the guy's still out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're in limbo.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Like, why lie? Just say he's out three to four weeks.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: God, I hate it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of them, you know, you just don't know.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I'm really questioning him what to do about Mike Evans
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this week because Mike Evans, he's was already hurt going
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: into that game, but he played miraculously. You're like, Oh great.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: And then he, he started, you know, doing some stuff
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, this is great. And he
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: gets hurt again and a totally different injury.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: And apparently this injury isn't something he, Can't play. He
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: could play through it. It's like a rib. But apparently
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: it's super painful. Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, you ever hurt your ribs?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: It's miserable.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: It's brutal.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: So I wouldn't count on him to play this week.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Well, my thought is, okay, even if he does play,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: how effective is he going to be? So that's my worry.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're playing... Denver. Denver. So Patrick Sertan's probably
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: going to be on him, which is tough. That's a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: tough one.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so it gets tricky, you know, when
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you get to this time of year and you're like, oh, man.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: What also happens this time of year is the trade
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: offers start. Guys lose their first three games or whatever.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They're dealing with injuries, and you start getting offered the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: worst trades possible. That's always hysterical to me.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I made a trade offer to somebody.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: How bad was it?
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it was that bad.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You always say that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I have Saquon, and he's been not great so far.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: It's still week three. I trust Saquon. I offered Saquon
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and Justin Jefferson post just them saying Justin Jefferson's imaging
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: came back clear and he should play Sunday for Chase
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Brown and Chris Olave. And the guy said no. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, that's fine.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Saquon and Justin for?
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Chase Brown and Chris Alave.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'd do that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Because right now, Chase Brown and Chris Alave are better
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: than Justin Jefferson and Saquon. But to me, I'm just tired.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: I hate the Eagles. I can't watch them. I got
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: to get rid of Saquon. And the guy didn't want
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to do it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And it's three weeks into the season. So I do
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: imagine that Justin and Saquon are going to have big years.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to be good. Chase Brown, to me,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is kind of up and down. I mean, he's going
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to have a good season. Chris Olave has been phenomenal.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't think it was that crazy of an offer.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: No, I don't think it is.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: The other one, which was probably on paper right now,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: which isn't great. Here we go.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: This is what Thor does.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I offered Saquon and Jalen Waddle for Ashton Gentry and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Christian Watson.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Well, you're ridiculous.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's ridiculous. You're ridiculous. Christian Watson's had
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: a good couple games, but he's... Their offense is falling apart.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They have no offensive line. Jalen Waddell is going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: be the guy. I just want to get rid of Saquon. Yeah.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Thank you. God. I don't know if that was ridiculous.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: But here's where I'm at. I'm not going to give
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: you Zay Flowers or Justin Jefferson for Christian Watson.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Christian Watson right now is having a better season than
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: all of them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I agree. Right now. But in the long run, Justin
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Jefferson and Zay Flowers should end up with a better season.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, I got offered a dumb trade.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: So I have Josh Allen in a couple of my leagues,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and obviously he's never not going to play. And one
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of my backups that I've got really late round was
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Brock Purdy. Well, Brock Purdy right now, is like top
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: three fantasy scorer in quarterbacks. He's been phenomenal. And so
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I'm never going to use him until Josh Allen has
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: a bye. So he's just going to sit on my bench.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But I'm also keeping him from somebody else.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And who knows? With injuries, you never know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. And so just sitting on Brock Purdy
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: is great. Well, one guy who had a quarterback that
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: went down, I don't remember if it was Jalen Daniels
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: or Baker Mayfield or whoever went down, they now need
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. And so he offered me a guy that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he literally picked up that week.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's so lame.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: For Brock Purdy. So he picks up Darren Waller, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: he offers me Darren Waller for Brock Purdy. And I go, listen, man.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I know I don't need a quarterback, but I'm not
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: just going to give him to you. Like for a
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: guy that you picked up off the scrap heap. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: so I was like, that's ridiculous. And I don't need
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: a tight end. So I'm like, I know Colston Loveland
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: hasn't done anything yet, but he's going to be good.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: So I have him and my backup is Jake Ferguson.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: So I have good tight ends.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: And Darren Waller scored touchdowns last week. He'll probably score
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: maybe a touchdown this week.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's not bad.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: And then he's going to get hurt and be done
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: for the year. He's never healthy. You get him for
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: a couple of weeks and then you move on.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand that trade. So I decide I'm
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: going to make a counteroffer.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And I thought this was not terrible.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: So I go, all right, you desperately need a quarterback.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: So I got Brock Purdy. Unfortunately, in that league, I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: did draft Marvin Harrison, which is like at this point.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: They may trade him.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell is wrong with that guy.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: He's not even their number two receiver.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: It's Trey McBride and Michael Wilson, and then maybe Marvin Harrison. Oh, yeah, maybe.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: He's becoming like an all-time buster.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He's non-existent. Non-existent.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Because he was generational.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Can't miss. He stinks. Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: You guys lucked out. I mean, I know the Giants
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: were looking at him.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Because he was gone, they took neighbors. He hasn't been
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: great right now either, but he's coming off an ACL.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, come on. So, yeah, so I got Marvin Harrison,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: who now is on my bench. I don't know what
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do. So I want to get rid
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of him.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And so I decided, all right, I'm going to offer
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you Brock Purdy and Marvin Harrison for actually Arizona's number
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: one wide receiver, Michael Wilson.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I think that's fair.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: If you want a quarterback that bad... You've got to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: give me something in return. And I'm giving you another guy.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And I could even counter with maybe a little bit
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: better of a wide receiver. I don't know what other
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: bench receiver you have. I don't know. I'm not sure.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I would counter with that maybe. Or I'd at least
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: think about it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: No, he rejected it after I rejected his. So I said,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: screw you. I'm done.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I'm thinking about one more thing.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I have Saquon.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You really want to get rid of him.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: And I have Justin Jefferson. Saquon and Justin Jefferson for
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor and Brock Bowers.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's stupid. That's stupid.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's crazy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Well, it is crazy.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think that's crazy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Because here's the problem, is that Saquon looks old. Like,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: he may be fine, and he may eventually turn it around,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: but right now, I'm not impressed. Justin Jefferson.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I need him to have a big game.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: You do, before you can make a trade.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Before I can make a trade.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson just rolled his ankle. I'm sure he's going
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to be fine, but you also have really no quarterback.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I know you were kind of on Kyler Murray, but
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's that good.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: To be fair, in the game he played, Jefferson got
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: hurt on the third play, so he didn't have him
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the whole game.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not a believer in Justin Jefferson. So Brock Bowers
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is tight end one. How about Zay Flowers and Saquon?
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not making the deal. You don't have to negotiate
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: with me. So yeah, I don't know. And Jonathan Taylor
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: is a million times better than Saquon right now.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Right now.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Right now. So that's a ridiculous trade.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: I hate that I drafted Saquon. I told you at
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: the time, don't do it. But the other guy I
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: would have drafted was Chase Brown, and he's not really
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: doing anything.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: He's better than Saquon.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: He's better than Saquon.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: He's had one better game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He's better than Saquon. So yeah, you're going to get
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: these ridiculous, I'll call them Thor trades.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: They're not Thor trades.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: We'll always try to get one over on you.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: They're not Thor trades.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to your questions. You can hit
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: us up on X at the show Eddie, at the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: show Thor is where you can reach us. You can
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: email us your questions every week. So let's get to
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: these questions. It says, who do I start this week
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Drake May versus Buffalo or Kyler Murray versus Miami.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray I mean here's why Justin Jefferson is going
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to play Miami is terrible I'm not starting Drake May
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: he has one touchdown on the year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Well, and a million interceptions and turnovers.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: What happened?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like the most bizarre thing. He's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: regressed like a lot.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Did he not like pay attention? Did he not like
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: work hard in the offseason?
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: It's weird. I don't understand. I've never seen anything like
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: this before. He was in the Super Bowl a few
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: months ago.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: The hell?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't, you know, until Drake May, I mean,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you drafted him thinking this is my starter,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Kyler is my backup, but Drake May has been so bad.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Kyler isn't, Much better, but the matchup's better, taking on Miami. So, yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I would imagine Kyler actually would start there.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: The only issue, though, is if Justin Jefferson doesn't play,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: it's a tough start for Kyler, and I'd go to
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the waiver wire and see maybe if Jordan Love's there,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Matt Stafford is there, Bryce Young is there. I mean,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: how Marcus Mariota, the Colts' defense is terrible. Maybe you
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: could start him. It is a London game, though, so beware.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Forget it. This question says, not sure if I should
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: start Alvin Kamara this week with... A-Chan being out. My
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: other option is Blake Corum. Who would you go with?
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Oh, man. I mean, I liked Blake Corum, and Sean
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: McVay said it was going to be a 50-50 split.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And then this past week, it's been all Kyron Williams.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: So I guess Travis A-Chan is hurt, right?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A-Chan, bro. Nobody says A-Chan anymore. Sorry.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: So I guess go with Kamara. I don't know, man.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Alvin Kamara, I don't know how he's still in the league.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but he is getting a lot of touches.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: And based on that, I would go with Alvin over
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Blake just because I don't know if they're going to
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: feed Blake. I mean, he's not even getting goal line
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: touches like he did last year. That guy vultured so
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: many touchdowns last year.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I'm not dropping him. No. It's still way too early.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: But it's not great right now.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: The Rams got to figure something out pretty quick, too.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one and two.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: They're in trouble. Final question. It says, waiting on word
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: about Mike Evans. Just talked about him. Would you start
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Matthew Golden or DK Metcalf if he doesn't go?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: You know, I would go DK Metcalf because it seems
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: like they finally figured it out after one game, and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: they're playing the Browns.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: You hate Thursday games.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I do. But Matthew Golden sucks, too.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: No, Golden had a big game last week.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Did he have a big game?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Massive game last week.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Who am I thinking of?
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: He had over 100 yards, caught a touchdown. But Watson's
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: clearly the main target there. But Golden had a good
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: game last week. I mean, it was his first real
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: good game. Oh, and they're playing the Bucs.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I switched minds.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I changed my mind. You changed my mind.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize they were playing the Bucs, who are awful.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Start Golden.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's either way with Mike Evans. Even
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: if he is to go, this is a tough matchup
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: against Sertain. And he's hurt. I mean, he's one hit
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: away from just being done for a while. So I
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: think Golden is probably your smarter play there.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: And I don't trust that Aaron Rodgers is going to
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: have another good game.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: We'll see. I don't know why I said DK. I
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: completely take it back.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Because of Thursday. You love Thursday games.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate Thursday.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our starts and sits for
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: the week. At quarterback, who is your start?
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: It just came out that the Panthers lost both their
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: starting corners, and this offense is humming right now. Their
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: defense is awful. I'm talking about Jared Goff. I would
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: starve him this week. He's on your waiver wire, like
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: the guy that asked about Kyler Murray or Drake May.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: If Jared Goff's on your waiver wire, pick him up.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: because he's going to unload on the Panthers.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. I got a guy here who probably went undrafted.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Nobody was looking at him. But you want to talk
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: about a guy who's been solid in fantasy, Tyler Shuck
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: from New Orleans. I mean, he's been really good. And
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: he's sneakily rushing touchdowns in, things like that. Taking on Atlanta,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: don't buy in. I know Atlanta won last week. Calm down.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I don't foresee that happening again. New Orleans coming off
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a bad loss. I think they're going to put it
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: on Atlanta. I like Tyler this week. Who's your sit?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: You know, I just said it, and again, I don't
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: know why I said start DK Metcalf, but I would
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: bench Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: If you're playing Aaron Rodgers at this point, you're in trouble.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: And you're in Cleveland.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I just, he's done. I don't know.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: He looked good last week. He looked good last week.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: I also don't think the Biengals offense is as good
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: as people think. So I would bench him. Aaron Rodgers.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Okay. My sit this week is maybe a little bit
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of a surprise. Bo Nix. Yeah, Bo Nix, he's been
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: off and on, a little shaky to start the season.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: You know, he had a pretty decent game last week.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That was a shootout. I don't foresee them having a
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: shootout against the 49ers. I think it's going to be
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: a low-scoring game.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I was disappointed in the Niners' defense on Sunday, though.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: They got up big, though, and kind of let Arizona
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: back in and things like that. The final score wasn't
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: as close as that game actually was. So I do
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: think the Niners are going to bring it against Bo Nix.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a low-scoring game, and
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: so I just don't foresee Bowe having a big offensive
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: game in that one. All right, running back, who's your start?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: This kills me.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: But Jeremiah Love should have a monster game against the Giants.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: He was almost my start. I didn't want to do
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: that to you.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: The Giants just lost Brian Burns, who's a pass rusher,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: but they have no interior push at all, which is
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: killing their pass rushers on the outside.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: They're a sexy-dexy, man.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, their secondary stinks. Now, it is in New York.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know what the weather's going to be like,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: but I would start Jeremiah Love.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Okay. My start this week, you'll be happy about this
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: because it is Brees Hall's backup, Braylon Allen.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Braylon Allen.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think he is a pretty decent option.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: He may be available on your waiver wire. Yeah. Him
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and I know Gordon was a big pickup this week
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: and things like that because you're going to have these
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: bad injuries. The backups are going to play. Some backups,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: everybody grows and rushes for and get. And I'm like, why?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's not good. But Braylon Allen's actually pretty good.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Bears defense is not that great. And so I think
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Braylon Allen actually is going to have a decent game
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Sorry, go ahead, Eddie.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: No, that's it.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: So that's what killed me about the Saquon thing is
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: that the Bears can't stop the run. And for some
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: reason in the second half, they wouldn't run the ball.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: They were running the football pretty good in the first half.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Because the Bears defense can't stop the run.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Sorry. Yeah. Hoosier six.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Amari and Hampton, man. So I picked up, I don't
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: even know who their backup is. Oh my God, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: forgot his name, but I picked him up. Because not only-
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: Is it Hamilton?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Something like that?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe Keaton?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, something like that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Something like that. I picked him up. Because not only
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: is Amari and Hampton not doing well, he's like splitting touches.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: They jerked this guy in the first round last year.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: It's stunning. That offense, what the hell happened? I don't know.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'm not- And they're playing the Seahawks.
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: In Seattle, who's coming off a bad loss. I mean,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the Chargers could be 0-4.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. I'm sticking in that game, but I'm
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: going the other side. To Jerry and Price. Well, you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: don't know who's running the ball there either. Listen, I
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: understand you're going to treat rookies maybe a little bit differently.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: But the way they're treating Jadarian Price makes no sense
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to me. He's fumbled the ball a couple of times.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: As soon as this guy fumbles or makes a mistake,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: they're done with him. And I don't get it. I'm like,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: this is a first rounder. This ain't like some random
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: guy you picked a free agent guy. No, he's a
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: first rounder. You got to feed him the rock when
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: he's out. They can't rush the football. And I'm like,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I don't. What are you doing?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: They kind of did this last year. Remember with Charbonnet
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: and Walker? And it was frustrating to watch if you
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: had Walker.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: And then they finally gave him the ball because Charbonnet
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: got hurt and Walker went off.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand what they're doing with their running
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: game there. So Price, until he either figures it out
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: or they figure it out, I'm kind of staying away
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: from him. Wide receiver, who's your start?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I could easily say Michael Wilson, the Cardinals wide receiver, because, again,
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Giants can't cover anybody. But I'm going to go on
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: the other side of the ball.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: He's due for a game.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: If he doesn't do it this week, I don't know
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: when it's going to happen. He only has 96 yards
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: receiving on the year. Malik Naples.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Is he still afraid to get hit?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Coming off a torn ACL, he's against the Cardinals. If
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: they don't get him involved soon, it's going to become
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: like that receiver who's pissed off situation. So they have
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: to get him involved.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Is he getting open?
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: He is, but they're not getting him the ball.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, Jameis sucks. He's awful. I don't know what's going on.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: So I think this is the week that they kind
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: of force feed Malik Naples.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Okay. My start this week is the guy that we
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: were just talking about that I changed Thor's mind on.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I actually had him as my start, didn't realize it.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Matthew Golden. So, you know, again, another former first rounder,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a guy who had a, you know, whatever first year.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: His rookie year was not impressive at all, but it
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: seems like they figured it out. It's a pretty good
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: attack there that they got with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: So I like Golden this week against Tampa Bay. Tampa
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Bay is They may be 0-4 too. Well, I mean,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Packers aren't good either, but one of these teams is
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: going to have to figure it out this week. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be the Packers. Who's your sit?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: My sit is Tampa Bay, Amika Egbuka.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: What happened to him?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: He hasn't been good with Baker. Now he's not going
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: to have Baker. An undrafted free agent rookie is going
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: to be his quarterback, so I'm sitting him.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: That's a good call. My sit is this guy that
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I was trashing earlier, Marvin Harrison. I mean, what What
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: is going on with this guy? I mean, he's got
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: like three catches on the year. I don't know what
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the heck is happening. And he kind of looks like
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: he's half-assing it.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. And they're like, oh, it's kind of how he runs. Really?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Well, that's not good.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: That's how he runs.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Now, listen, the match was, you know, Giants. You know,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You'd think they would take advantage of it.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: But every, I mean, he's had good matchups this year
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: and done nothing. So I don't like, I'm sitting that guy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And he gets no targets.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: It's weird, right? I don't know. He's such a massive dude.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Tight end, who's your start?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: He may still be on your waiver wire, but I
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: have him. So I've been paying attention. Three touchdowns. In
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: three games, he's one of Tyler Shuck's top targets. I'm
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: talking about Jawan Johnson.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, he ain't available.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: You don't think so anymore?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Right now, he's top three.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: So I'm starting Jawan Johnson.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: No, he's been a huge season.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Who would have thought?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the guy is unstoppable right now.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I took him in our work league just because I
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: waited until the very end and there was no one left.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: He was like your backup, right?
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but now I'm starting him.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he's a clear starter. My start this week, again,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: he's going to be a guy who's kind of hit
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and miss at this point in his career. I think
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: this week is going to be a hit for Mark
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Andrews from the Ravens. Love the matchup against Tennessee. Tennessee
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: is just terrible. And so I think the Ravens are
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: going to put it on him. I think Mark Andrews
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: takes advantage of that, finds the end zone this week.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Who's your sit?
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: My sit is a guy who's had two good games,
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: one awful game. So in his good game, he had
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: three catches, 37 yards, and a touchdown. Didn't have any catches.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Then he had seven catches for 78 and a touchdown.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I'm talking about Mike Gusecki. I'm sitting him because I
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: feel like it's going to be one of those games
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: where he doesn't get the ball.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Jaguars have a good defense. I'm just not touching him
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, I'm going matchup-wise for my sit as well.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson from the Cowboys. Houston, again, another team. Desperate
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: for a win. I think the Cowboys are kind of
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: desperate for a win, too. But Texans, obviously, their whole
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: thing is defense. And so, again, I don't know what's
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: going on with either one of these teams. The unknown
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: makes me kind of uncomfortable. And so he's my sit
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: this week. I just got to imagine at some point
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the Texans' defense is going to really show up.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: But on the other hand, if you're the Cowboys, when's
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: George Pickens going to score a touchdown?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, he was wide open to catch one, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: they didn't throw him the ball. I don't know.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Well, no, he airmailed it.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Well, he did it on purpose.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: It was like he did it on purpose. Yeah, I
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: don't know. What the hell was that?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Very strange. So there you go. Those are our starts
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and sits for the week. Hopefully you go out there
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and get a win.
