  Speaker 1: to get dubs. We here to try to get a dub, bro. Look,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the week, the season is flying upon us, bro. We
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: just left week four already. It's happening real quick. It's
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: time to buckle down and get serious. Don't play with it.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted. Look, you already know numbers over narrative.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Like I said, week four was a fun one. We
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: got to get ready for week five starting now. Final
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: prep before week five. Look, before we get into everything,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I want to give y'all a top performance, injury recap,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: hustler's pickup. That's the waiver-wide scoop. Risk of the benching,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: that's the start-sit segment. Hustler's energy lock pick of the week.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And then we're going to get up out of here
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: with a fantasy community debate. So we ain't got a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: lot of time that's going to get into it. Top
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: performance of the week. Week four was crazy. We saw
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: some guys we've seen over the course of the last
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: few years.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: We already know how they get down.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: First up is Kyron Williams running back from the Rams, 36.7
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: fantasy points, 16 carries, 80 yards, two teddies, 10 catches,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: 67 yards.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Guy played in my main league. I had the pleasure
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of playing him. He started Kyron Williams against me, went crazy.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Then this next guy he had started him against me,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: went crazy. That's Ted Arroyo McMillan, wide receiver from the Panthers,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. 45.2 fantasy points, 14 catches, 192 yards, two teddies.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Went crazy.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And he did, yeah, that game, man. Ted really liked that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Ted really liked that. QB, I got Drake Mayhill down here,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but it actually was Kirk Cousins from the Raiders.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Had 365 yards, 26.25 yards. fantasy points.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So it was a light week for the QBs this
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: week when it came to fantasy points. They didn't blow
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: us away with their top scores, but that was the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: top score, Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. I
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: don't know if I said Los Angeles. That's crazy if
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I did because they ain't been there in a minute. Look,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: tight end, I had this guy over the last couple years, man.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I really like what he do. Real simple, real straight,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: real bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Tight end, that's TJ Hockerson from the Minnesota Vikings. Had 24.9
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: fantasy points. 13 catches, 119 yards, didn't even score.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Didn't even score and had a crazy day. Top scoring
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: tight end.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: That's the second time that happened this season that the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: top scoring tight end didn't score a touchdown. The Giants
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: D was the top scoring defense, which is also crazy
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: because they gave up 24 points. So for them to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: be the top scoring defense while giving up them amount
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of points, that is insane. They scored 16 points, got
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: three picks, two sacks, and they scored a touchdown in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the last second of the game or after the buzzer
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: went off. They scored a touchdown to seal the deal.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: So it's crazy to me that they scored. They were
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the top scoring defense, and they gave up 24 points.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: That's insane.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So let's show you how much turnovers are important. Those
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: are your studs. Those are your top dogs. If you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: had a chance to play them or you got them
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on your roster, shout out to y'all, man. That's good
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: management work, and that's.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Why we're here. Y'all already know there's only one reason
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: why we are here, and that is to get a dub.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That is it. We are only here to get a dub.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Mark it down. Y'all was your top dogs.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Before we keep it moving, man, as always, prayers up
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for these players. Injuries are a part of the game.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: We hate to see them. but they are part of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the game. So I definitely want to make sure we
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: keep the human aspect that these guys are humans.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Players, man, look, I get it. You bet.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, you do your thing. You want these players
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: to perform. But injuries are part of the game. Prayers up.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Get close to 100% as possible, man. Look, first is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, and that sucked for the commanders, though, because
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: they already downed Jayden Daniels. He had a right knee
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: MCL sprain. I got this guy who started. Thankfully, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: didn't start him. Didn't make much of a difference. Lamar Jackson, man,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: left high ankle sprain. And as y'all know, them high
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: ankle sprains tricky. You can miss, hell, you can miss
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: one week to seven weeks. I had Eckler one year,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: he had the high ankle sprain. I believe he missed
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like eight, nine weeks. And that was the last year
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that he was projected to be elite. So that's tough. Anyway,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: that's living in the past. It's 2026. Dak Prescott had
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a right hand laceration. Saquon Barkley, right hamstring injury. Jeremiah Love,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: possible leg injury. Ramondre Stevenson, right knee injury. Kyle Menunga,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: thumb injury. Chris Brooks, ankle injury. Jamar Chase, concussion. I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: saw that play. It was crazy.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: It was a little nasty. So hopefully he's straight.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he's shaked back. T. Higgins, left groin, adductor strain.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: That's going to suck for the Bengals if they miss time, too.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Rasheed Rice, left hamstring strain. Ladd McConkey. Right foot re-injury,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: DJ Moore, possible shoulder re-injury. He did lead that game.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Mack Hollins left calf strain. So some opportunity there for
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: them New England Patriots out there. Tyquan Thorne, I saw
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: this one. This was definitely nasty. Left ankle dislocation. Pat Bryant,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: right ankle fracture. Jalen Lane, left ankle fracture, dislocation. Jalen Naylor, concussion.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: So before we wrap that up, again, prayers up to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: those players. I want them to get to closest 100%
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as they possibly can, you know, from the sport of football.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So with that being said, we're going to keep it moving, man.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Look, Hustlers Energy, or not the Hustlers Energy, Hustlers Pickup
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Waverwide Gems. And as I just named them two Bengals players,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I see there's some opportunity on their lineup too. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to do a midweek Hustler episode, see if
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they got something working out there just in case they
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: miss some time chasing Higgins. But for now, Let's keep
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it pushing, man. Hustlers pick up. First up, I got
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs. I just spoke about Mack Hollins. They already
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: down A.J.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Brown. And Romeo Dobbs had a great week four, too.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So if you had him, I see 58% roster. So
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: if you had him, man, that's great management work. That's
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: what we're here for. That's what we're here for, to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get that management work out here. Look, five target average
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: for the season, 11.1 fantasy point average for the season.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I expect that to go up at least while Hollins
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and A.J.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Brown are down.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: He was the number one receiver on Sunday, played 64%
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of the snaps, led the team, also had two touchdowns
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in week four. Romeo Dobbs is the play to go
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: get if you need wide receiver help.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Lock that in.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Next up, man, I spoke about this guy as a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: top performer. Yeah, and it's crazy. He's 54% roster, and
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I thought, Based on what he did last year, this
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: seemed kind of high. So the fact that he rostered
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like this, people seeing it. They not sleep on him. Look,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: six and a half targets average per game this season.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: 83% of the snaps on Sunday. Look, 11.9 fantasy points.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: It's a tight end. You give me 12 points, you
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: my guy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And Jettas missed week four, but that don't matter because
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Hockerson got four more targets in the games that Jettas
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: did play. So, like, the QB room in Minnesota has
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: proven that Hockerson is not affected by Jetta's plan or
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the QB's anymore. You can go grab him. You can
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: trust him. You can throw him in the lineup. Kirk Cousins,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: old man river, man. Hey, it's good to see he
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: over here because when he was with the Falcons, I
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: ain't going to lie to you. I thought bro was cooked.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I thought he was done. He looked washed. But he
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: clearly probably just wasn't healthy. Just wasn't healthy. Signed all
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that money. Atlanta need a dub. Got, you know, put
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: pressure on him to play. But anyway, he's 16.9% roster,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: so just under 17.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: So he's widely available. You can trust that. I mentioned
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: him earlier.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He was a top performer with the 26.25 fantasy points.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Had 365 yards. I think I said three 30s. He
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: only had two. He had a pick. But it's one
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the best starts I've seen from the Raiders with
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: my own two in over 20 years. Last good start
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: they had like this was the Rich Gannon, Tim Brown,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Jerry Rice years in 03.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: 03. Crazy.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Anyway, Kirk Cousins got these boys balling. Lock it in.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: You can trust Kirk. You can throw him in the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: lineup if you need QB help at this point in
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the season. Look, now I know when he was with Atlanta,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: they were saying this guy was 1B, but I just
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: want to throw this out there.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Let's cut the crap. He was never 1B. He was two.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Bijan is the best running back in the league, locking in.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Well, anyway, Algiers, former backup, now with the Cardinals, got
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a good opportunity in front of him. 28% roster, 55%
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of the snaps in week four. Jeremiah Love did play
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He left.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: He played 45% of the snaps. He left the game
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: with a leg injury.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: But look what Tyler Algiers did. Eight rushes, 42 yards.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: A 30, also had two catches for seven yards.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Now the receiving stats ain't lovely, but with being in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a PPR, that's a lovely day.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Or not lovely, it's a decent day. You can play
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: with it. You can win. You can win. So, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: ain't going to knock him. You know what I mean?
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Like, he worth the ad. He's widely available as well.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You need running back help like I do. Tyler Algier
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: is a guy you need to go grab on the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: waivers this week. So, that was the Hustlers pickup for
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: the week five. Now it's decision time. As you know, injuries,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: everything happened in football. Risk of the bench is so
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: much information. You need help with them start set calls.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's what I'm here for.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Risk of the bench is the segment start set.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Let's not get cute either, though. Let's look at the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: data in front of us and make informed decisions. Don't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: play with it. Don't take your feelings out of it. So, look,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: first up, Parker Washington. Parker Washington versus the Eagles. Look, me, personally,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to risk this. This is a good one
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: because Washington just burned a lot of fans and managers
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: with only two points in week four, and he played
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: 80% of the snaps. See, but this is why I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: risk it. 80% of the snaps. Jacoby Myers got 82%
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of the snaps. So, depending on the day, 1A, 1B,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: that's a real 1A, 1B right there. 82 to 80,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: not a huge disparity. And the Eagles got the 17th
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: ranked pass deep. Not great, not terrible. They're middle of
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: the road. And if there's anybody that Parker Washington can
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: bounce back against, it's the Eagles. And funny enough, great segue,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: the person that on the other side of the ball
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: for the Eagles that'll be playing the Jaguars is Jalen Hurts.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Me personally, I'm benching this with the quickness. With the quickness.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, bro, I like Hurts. I think
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: he legit. However, what I'm seeing over the course of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: his career, it seems like he struggles when the game
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: script don't go the way they want it to go.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. The offense stalled against the Rams Sunday.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They went 0 for 12 on third downs. And to me,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in early information already, are leading to Jalen Hurts being
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: QB 16 going into week five. If you're in a
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: 12-man league, you can find 15 other quarterbacks that'll be
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: better than him to save your season to start, that
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you can start over him.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: I said save your season. That was a little dire.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: It ain't that dire.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But we're getting to that point, though. It's going to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: come here quick, for sure.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: But, look, this is the thing.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: If you don't have a better situation, I will say,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I just want to leave y'all this tidbit. I still
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: stand strong on benching Jalen Hurts, but I'll leave this
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: with you. Jazz got the 31st-ranked passing defense and the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: 26th-ranked total defense.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Do with that what you will. But if it's me,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I'm benching Jalen Hurst.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Hey, look, I got a shot out the Louisiana animal, man.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Got a shot him out. Keon Coleman against the Rams.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Me personally. But all bias aside, though, I'm still risking this.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: The reason why DJ Moore just got hurt again, right?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He just left. And he aggravated his shoulder injury. So
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: if it's a lot more hurt than what he's letting on,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: because he's trying to get his bread together, if he
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: keeps missing time, Keon Coleman will become the number one receiver.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I will say this.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: He was only 4.2% rostered, which means he is a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: hustler's pickup. He's a waiver wire gem by the definition
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: through and through. This ain't his first time having five
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: or more catches with 100-plus yards and a tutty. So
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we've seen he's shown flashes. I know a lot of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: people don't like the separation, the antics. I really feel like, man,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: y'all just putting too much pressure on the young boy.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Let the young man, let him ball, bro. Let him
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: go out there and ball. And right now, he got
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to do that against the Rams. Now, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: ain't ignoring the Rams got the second-ranked passing defense. But
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: What I like more than the Rams' second-ranked passing defense
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: is that Keion Coleman can be the number one receiver,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: not only for week five, but for the foreseeable future
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: or short-term future. Let's go short-term because DJ Moore is
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: not out for the season. So let's go short-term. But
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Keion Coleman can definitely get you some wins. Do not
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: play with it. Don't hesitate on it. Keion Coleman is
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a major risk.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Risk it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: A major start. He's a major risk it call. He's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: a major start for week five against the Rams. All right.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Tony Pollard, the OG vet. Me, I ain't going to lie.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: This is the only one on this list that I'm
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: not definitive either way.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: And the reason why I say that, I know that's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: a cop out. It's easy to do that.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: But the reason why I say that is because it
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: depends on your running back situation. If he's your third
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: best back, You probably went back heavy in the draft.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You prioritize that. So you probably don't even need to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: question if you're going to start Tony Pollard. However, if
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you were to look there in that back and he's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: your second best back, I would risk this personally.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I would risk it in that situation.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: And that's why I say I'm not a definitive on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: both sides because it depends on your situation. And you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: know your roster better than anybody else do. So don't
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: get your feelings involved. Don't get cute. Don't start trying
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: to overanalyze it, making it seem like you just being
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: super smart.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: You're not. Don't do that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: If your back situation good enough to where you don't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: have to start them, don't risk it. He's playing the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Texans this week. And if your back situation ain't good
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: enough to not start them, you can risk it. And
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the reason why you can risk it, yes, Houston has
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the fourth-ranked run defense.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Not ignoring that. They stopped.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: However, they got the 28th-ranked pass defense. So the passing game,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: For the running backs, could go up. Now, that does
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: lean more Tajay Spears. However, pilot has shown he can
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: do a little bit of it too. They just don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: use him as such. But like I said, if he
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: your third best back, bench it. If he your second
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: best back, risk it.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Risk it. All right?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Last one on this list, man. Keon Coleman, teammate. Dalton Kincaid.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: I'm benching this with the quickness. Now, I get it.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: He's on the offensive side of the ball. He's in
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the pass and attack. And I said to start Keion Coleman. However,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the opportunity for Kincaid is not the same as it
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: is for Coleman. Kincaid is a tight end. The Rams
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: give up the fourth fewest points to tight end. And
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: it's under five points per game.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Now, I get it. DJ Moore out.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: So it could create the opportunity for Dalton Kincaid. But
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: let's not get cute. I just told you earlier the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Rams got the second-ranked pass defense. On top of their
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: top five in the fewest fantasy points given up to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: tight ends. So they are not only locking up the pass,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: they are locking tight ends up. So do not risk this.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I would bench Dalton Kincaid with the quickness.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So... Oh, yeah.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So for me, that's what you do with Don Kincaid.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: You bench that. Don't get it twisted. Don't get cute.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Take your feelings out of it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: So that's a wrap on the risk of the benching call.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Start-sit situation. Hit me on X at Hustle Sportsnet. Anywhere
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: else at the Hustle Sportsnet work, let me know. Hit
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: me with your start-sit questions.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I got you. Now this next one is where we're
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: logging in. You know what I mean? It's who I
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: throw away the key with. I lock the lock, throw
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: away the key.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: And for me, this one actually was pretty damn easy.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie to you. This was pretty
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: damn easy. For me, got to go with Kyle, my
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: nun guy, bro. 30 rushes.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: 30.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: That is a old school workhorse, bell cow type of game.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: 30.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: And not only did he have 30 rushes, he cut
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: up with them too. He had 146 yards, two 30s.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: And that is crazy. He did that against.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Who did they have last week? Who did they have?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Reading is fundamental. Reading is definitely fundamental.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The Bears had the Jets. Yeah, damn, I said that.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I could have saved five minutes of your time.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, the Jets. Look, He did that against the Jets.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Now he's going against the 29th-ranked run defense against the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Packers this upcoming week in Week 5. And I just
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: told you, 30 rushes, 146. They benched Swift. Locking in
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: with Menunga. I'm locking the lock, and I'm throwing away
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the key on Kyle Menunga.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Don't get this twisted. So we breezed through here. You
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? We got through here. Hit me
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: with your lock. Who you locking with?
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Hashtag Hustle Sports Fantasy Podcast on any platform.

  Speaker 2: Just use it. Just do it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And before we get up out of here, I want
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to close with a fantasy community debate.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: We're four weeks into the season. I hear this is
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the question. We're four weeks into the season.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: At what point do you stop calling a by-low struggling
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: player or a struggling player a by-low and accept that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: this may be who he is in 2026? I'm going
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: to be honest. For me, I think now, week four,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: And I don't think you could put a number on it,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: but like on X, I saw that called Mazda Marv.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: You know, he lost to Maserati, now he Mazda Marv.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: He's definitely, he scored Sunday and still didn't crack double
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: figures on points. And I got him still holding on hope,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: smoking hopium. Do not smoke hopium. After week four, bro,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: they are who they are.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you might.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: And the thing is, yeah, you might drop him and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: somebody else may get him. But if you drop him,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: he don't go off until week eight and somebody you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: got go off the rest of the season. Are you
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: really crying about that? Especially if it changed the trajectory
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: of your season. You're probably not. So don't get it twisted, bro.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Take your feelings out. Week four, and I don't like
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to put numbers on things, but I think after four games,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: we know who is who, what they do.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Or what the team trying to do.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And what's crazy is I saw the Cardinals trying to
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: force some plays for Marv, too. That's the crazy thing. So, hey,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what I see. Make sure y'all
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: trust that data. It's numbers over narratives. That's a wrap
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: on the week four recap. Week five preparation. Look, I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: gave you top performers, injury recap, hustlers pick up. That's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the waiver-wide scoop. Risk of the benching calls. That's a
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: start six segment. Start six segment. and then who I'm
• 21:39
