• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot to talk about.
• 0:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: We had an explosive week one and a huge drop off in play for everybody but me and you're at the league mates in week two.
• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: So all of your fans, he teams probably did a lot worse in week two than they did in week one.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna go game by game talking about why that is.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: The injuries, this snap counts, it all routes run.
• 1:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: The passes, the overthrows, the good, the bad, the fuggly as we always do.

  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a victory Monday for those who celebrate.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you hit the thumbs up button.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you enjoy the video, there's 250, 300 people in here
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get into the very first match of the week.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: We had Thursday night football just explosives everywhere.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Buffalo Bills beat the Lions 41 to 31.
• 1:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Buffalo just looks unstoppable right now.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're just putting the ball on Josh Allen's hands on every play.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Joe Brady, shout out to you for that.
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of looking sharp.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kind of looking sharp right now.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Josh Allen goes for five touchdowns.
• 1:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is just a one man wrecking crew right now in fantasy football.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I just, I just,
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I don't know if I've ever had a player that I've enjoyed having on a fantasy football team so far, more than Josh Allen in the great season of 2026.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: For the Buffalo Bills, I think the key takeaways here are James Cook still in Bel-Cowroll.
• 2:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, we have to stop being reactionary like every two steps.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, yes, Josh Allen's going to score rushing touchdowns.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: You knew that coming into the year, but this is going to be one of the best offenses, one of the highest scoring offenses, one of the best offensive lines, year and a year out.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: The James Cook scores and the big games will come, all right?
• 2:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't need to sell every player or buy every player after every snap, like we just it has to stop eventually.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: and saying this for 10 years, it'll never fucking stop.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: DJ Moore ended up leaving the game after a quick negative one yard rush.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So unfortunately, if you had him in your lineup, tough star for you.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is dealing with like a stinger.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely way better than what could have originally been a very bad injury here.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: because they played on Thursday night.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has a couple of days extra to rest up and he could play next week, but I would say it's probably 50 50.
• 3:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Usually guys will miss a week from this injury, but because he has extra three days there is a chance that he does suit up.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: If he's suiting up, I'm probably putting him into my lineup.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: The other big takeaway here is don't concede, man.
• 3:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He looks super, super legit.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was someone we were very high on throughout the summer.
• 3:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was someone that, like, if you missed the first batch of tight ends, he was the guy that we wanted here.
• 3:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he was just showing out clearly fully healthy.
• 3:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Number one passing option in this offense.
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't concede every week must start.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: If DJ Moore does miss, I mean, Kian Coleman looked good.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Josh Palmer continues to make big plays.
• 3:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know that you can even with how Josh Allen is playing.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know you can trust fully anyone in your starting lineup.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: If DJ Moore misses, you know, um,
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: unless you're like very, very desperate at flex.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the other side, Jared Goff does this thing.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: You hear Gibbs does this thing.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: On my rod does this thing.
• 3:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sam Laporta does this thing.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody does this thing, except James and Williams.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, it's a little bit, it's a little bit spooky spooky season over there for Jamal.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a really good player.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he will have his big weeks, but it's just kind of been the take I've had all off season is if you look at when he's succeeded,
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, especially in full PBR leagues, it's very tough for him to get it done as as being like the clear fourth or fifth option.
• 4:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: He'll make big plays, but in games where Sam Laporta has played over the last three years, James and Williams averages eight and a half half PPR points per game.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you obviously want to be attached to this Detroit lines offense.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're going to score points.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their defense is dreadful like so, so, so, so bad, uh, mainly, I mean,
• 4:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every year, it feels like they try to retool the secondary, they bring guys in, they draft guys.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have both their starting safeties, Kirby Joseph, and Brian Branch on pop to start the year.
• 4:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they will not be back within the first four games.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, remains to be seen if they will be back immediately after that as well.
• 5:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: They also obviously spent early draft capital on Terran Arnold, who's no longer with a team.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you have the entire secondary just bleached out at this point.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, it shows you watch them play and they look like the worst defense, one of the worst defenses in the NFL.
• 5:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: We got a lot of bad defenses going on here.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, Dames and Williams, you know, he is exactly who we thought he was.
• 5:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a boomer bus player last year.
• 5:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Went crazy.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was probably due to the fact that Samuel Porter was out for the entire second half of the year, okay?
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, it's not, it's just fucking grow up.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next game, we've got the Panthers at the Falcons.
• 5:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: You all think I care.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like you guys think I care, you tweet at me when the Falcons lose.
• 5:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have zero expectations for this Falcons team.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: That I am in NFL Draft mode.
• 5:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am in pure fantasy mode.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I am in pure NFL Draft mode.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's all I care about.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Falcons are a fucking miserable franchise.
• 5:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't care if they win.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I hope they keep losing.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Who's 34 to three the Carolina Panthers?
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're not a real franchise.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't care.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: That being said, that being said, probably good news.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cooper Rush was bench for Jack Strand.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: They plant Thursday football against the Packers.
• 6:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would be surprised if two are or panics is not starting this game.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: From what I'm hearing, it does seem like his favoring panics.
• 6:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: We, I think there's a good chance we see Michael Panics on the field in week one.
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or in week three, sorry, on Thursday night football, which, you know, I'd love to say as a huge upgrade for this offense, and obviously is on top of Cooper Rush, but Michael Panics has not really been good at the NFL level either.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be a bigger upgrade to these guys.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And obviously, you know, you keep starting to be John, you keep starting Drake London.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: London's been good with panics.
• 6:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say, but I also think this could be a situation where, you know, coming off the knee injury, he wasn't ready yet, who's practicing all of last week.
• 6:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's like, he's like there, he's just kind of got it, got it, got to get over the mental hurdle.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd imagine our game plan against the packers is going to be insanely run heavy.
• 6:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So there will be, you know, few opportunities, I think, for for Drake London, the pass catchers to eat, but I'd imagine London will have a very, very high target chair.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, if you've held
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: The draft Kyle pits.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I've got no words of encouragement for you.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: You did this to yourself.
• 7:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side, Bryce continues to play fucking lights out, man.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really, really good right now.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I believe he's cuby four on the year in fancy football.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, I think I will probably have the same take that the majority of people will.
• 7:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that he's playing well.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: But it's the Chicago Bears defense
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: have even a slight glimmer of optimism that high-level play continues throughout the year.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: That being said, though, a good weapons group can really elevate a quarterback.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think we're just seeing that at a federal and McMillan and Jalen Coker.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will also say on the Falcon side of things, AJ Terrell,
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: very banged up coming into the game shoulder ended up going into concussion protocol for a second but cleared it during the game left with a groin injury so I think there's a very real chance we don't have a j-torel on Thursday night football against the packers offense all right that's a good group of wide receiver so it's going to be tough for us to stop anything but I will obviously cover that more in the wide receiver ranking video which I do every Thursday on the channel so again another reason for you to subscribe to the channel
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, the Panthers.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Ted Jalen Coker are just the very, very, very, very, very, very very focal points of this offense.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Darren Waller was a guy that we mentioned in our waiver wire video last year.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's still not running it's on a route.
• 8:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's only saw three targets, but he turns it into two touchdowns.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's a red zone threat.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Basically, everywhere he's been in his career.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's been a red zone threat Miami last year.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He saw with Carolina.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yesterday saw it in week one.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He had a touchdown called back.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not like, over the excited to get there, I'm all in my lineup, but I do think we could continue to see his routes, you know, tick up more and more and more.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if we can get wall or running 60 to 70% of the routes on the dropbacks, like he could have some big games down the stretch here.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not starting him yet, but he's definitely a guy to keep an eye on if you are desperate at the tight-amp position right now.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say the biggest news of this game.
• 9:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: is without a doubt the backfield injury to Jonathan Brooks now it's been all chuba so far these first two weeks Brooks was clearly kind of coming off of the injury they were not ready to get him like super involved in this offense by any means he ends up re aggravating the groin injury that he was dealing with at the end of a training camp in preseason which re aggravations to muscle strains typically end up sideline a you for quite a bit so i'd be surprised if we saw Jonathan Brooks within the next two weeks
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, wouldn't be overly shocked.
• 9:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if I'd bet on it, but I wouldn't be overly shocked if he does end up on short term.
• 9:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: I are reactivations usually end up landing you in that like three to four week range.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so right now, if you if you grab tube a Hubbard, you have like such a rock solid.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, high end RB2 because he's just kind of getting it done in every way.
• 9:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's overly involved.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's got so many opportunities.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's catching passes.
• 9:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's scoring touchdown.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's all fucking cheddar out there for tube a Hubbard.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got the Vikings and the Bears.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not great, not great all around for everybody and all parties involved here.
• 10:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: A nine to three game just played in the Slap.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, the thing for this game is Caleb Williams.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: He scrambles out to the left.
• 10:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're inside the 10-yard line.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: He pulls up short.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look like he could have scored a touchdown.
• 10:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ends up hurt.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Injured.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looks like he looks like it was devastating.
• 10:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Look like in Achilles.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, it looked normal at first and then all of a sudden he was, you know, riding in pain and rolling around like it was, you know, career ending and getting carted off look very emotional.
• 10:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: But one thing you'll learn after, you know, doing this for a very long time.
• 10:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: And when you listen to the doctors who cover this stuff, it's like, you, you should almost never rely on the reactions of players.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: it's irresponsible to think that you know what happened to the player or the severity of the injury based on the reaction of the player.
• 11:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's the same thing with like when Kyler went into the fencing post after his concussion last week.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: That does not indicate that it's a more serious concussion or that he's more likely to miss time than any other concussion would be.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Caleb was thriving in pain.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't know what the pain felt like for him.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's also in a very emotional moment for him.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: So to like overemphasize what you think the reaction was to an injury is usually just it doesn't do anybody any good.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: That being said, what we're hearing right now very unlikely to be a great three hamstring strain, which would have been like a full tear of the fibers in there.
• 11:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have reports saying that it's closer to a grade one than a grade two.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's definitely more optimistic than what we first thought.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think there's a world where he misses two weeks, possibly back week three.
• 11:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's also a world where he ends up on the IR.
• 11:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't want to speak too heavily into it, but I would say this feels a little bit like best case scenario for the bears given how how depressing it felt at first.
• 12:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it is it is a hamstring strain.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: They will get more tests on today.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's somewhere between grade one and grade two grade one.
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can usually get back into three weeks grade two.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: You end up in the four to six week range if they think it's on the lighter side of it.
• 12:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then maybe they don't put them on IR, if they think it's on the longer side of it, then maybe they do put them on IR to get them that four weeks of rest guaranteed open up the roster spot outside of that everybody struggle man another done from Colson lovelin Luther burden 3 for 32 Roman doomsday 3 for 43 Klee format Raymond overly involved again leads the team in catches or ties the Andre Swift with five catches in this one.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: If we look at the snap counts for these receivers here.
• 12:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not what you want to see if you invest it heavily into it.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we're in week two.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rome does see the big up tick though.
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: He gets his full time roll 90% routes last week.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was at like 55 60%.
• 12:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it was clearly an indication of the injury that he was dealing with in week one.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's a very tricky situation here to figure out right now.
• 13:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would say I will say like it is so hard to prepare offenses for the Bryan Flores defense and the way that he just maneuvers and his scheme.
• 13:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: It really hard to predict how an offense is going to perform against them and Ben Johnson has has struggled quite a bit in some of the matchups with the Minnesota Vikings.
• 13:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So with Clea for Caleb Williams out.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it is very hard to trust these weapons with Tyson Bayesian in the lineup.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd imagine they're going to go so, so heavy into the ground game here between DeAndre Swift and Kyleman on guy Swift struggled on the ground, but gets it done through the air 5 from 54 so.
• 13:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: another good fantasy day out of him.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, you have to pretty significantly downgrade all these past catchers, rooms like a downfield guy.
• 13:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: You don't expect as many downfield shots from a guy like Tyson Bayesian.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Loot the burden.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would like to like make it work on paper and say, Hey, you know, Tyson Bayesian is not going to throw the ball a ton downfield.
• 13:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So who's the line of scrimmage guy?
• 13:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Loot the burden like yes.
• 13:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: But do I trust that, you know, Kalee Freeman is not going to take a lot of those line of scrimmage targets right now.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not really, man.
• 14:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Second year in a row, we've seen a dude like this kind of just throw a wrench into the target chair, right?
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it made us a KES last year.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You got Cleve Raymond right now.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's just going to be pretty annoying.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure all these guys will have their games with the burden we'll have his games.
• 14:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Roman Dunej was going to score touchdowns.
• 14:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really can't tell you what the fuck's going on.
• 14:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm Colson Lovin right now.
• 14:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wish I could.
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would be worrying, though.
• 14:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would be quite
• 14:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh... worried if if i invested like and there were people taking the third round there were people had a right over training pride like actual people in the fantasy industry not just like twitter bots they were like genuine people who had that uh... and not to say i was low on love them by any means i didn't end up with the many workers i wasn't like overly
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: reaching for him or anything but like he's in a very tough spot right now.
• 14:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how to explain away the first two games, but it's not going to get any better without Caleb Williams in the lineup unfortunately.
• 14:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side, Carson Wentz starts this one gets a win definitely not because of him, but he does get a win.
• 14:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Jones sees 23 carries 105 yards.
• 14:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he was the bell cow.
• 15:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: He left this game for half a second.
• 15:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: because of a knee injury, but he did end up returning so it doesn't seem to be anything long-term.
• 15:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't think it's one of those like, hey, you're going to swell up after the fact, but we Jordan Mason on the IR for a minimum four weeks, sometimes those broken fingers and, you know, whatever, can take up to six weeks or eight weeks to really recover from it.
• 15:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So unfortunately, you know,
• 15:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does seem like it's just going to be Aaron Jones's backfield for the foreseeable future.
• 15:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: In these types of games, again, where there's just a bunch of slop and it's rainy, and they're just trying to control the game on the ground here.
• 15:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we're just not going to see big days from any of the past catchers in Minnesota.
• 15:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, Karsten Wentzel and completed 11 passes here to 28 carries for the Minnesota Vikings team.
• 15:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does seem like Kylo Murray will be back for next week.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was limited in practice most of this week so that does definitely point towards him being back under center.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Honestly, don't know that it moves much of the needle for me when it comes to just Jefferson or Hawk or Addison or anything like that.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: We still haven't seen like really any game time with Kyler in this passing offense and Wednesday pretty well last week, then he's got the bad weather this week.
• 16:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: So a little bit hard to get like a clear picture on what's going on there.
• 16:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously Jefferson is going to be a high-end widersie for one regardless, but Kyler should be back
• 16:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Move over to Philly and Tennessee.
• 16:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Philly made this one exciting, I guess.
• 16:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So with Philly,
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: They win 24 to 20.
• 16:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks to a game winning drive by Jalen Hertz.
• 16:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: And nice touchdown pass at the end.
• 16:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: For fantasy 6, we have Sakewon Barclay leave after like one of the first plays in this game.
• 16:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has a stinger in his shoulder, all the tests have come back negative.
• 16:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it doesn't seem overly serious.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be pretty surprised if he ends up missing this upcoming week.
• 16:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: That being said, tank bigs.
• 16:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: We obviously need to be owned.
• 16:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does seem like they're going to use some sort of committee though.
• 16:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: If Sakewon does end up either injuring this or something, go sideways throughout the week where it does cause some sort of a setback.
• 17:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Take Biggsby 13 carries will ship Lee seven, but we'll ship Lee was out there for a decent amount of snaps.
• 17:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's actually get the numbies for you.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Phil, like as you were watching though, he did.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Phil, like tank tank was going to be, yeah, I mean, he, he pretty far out snapped him actually 53% of the SNAPs to tank bigs be 33% but in terms of actual touches, it was far more in favor of tank like when tank was on the field, he was getting, you know, the ball whereas will ship leaves kind of just out there to pass block and stuff like that.
• 17:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: He played all 15 of the long down to distance SNAPs and nine of nine, two minute and four minute.
• 17:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: drill snaps there for you.
• 17:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tank Bigsby did get the goal-line carry, so he's clearly in favor of that, but again, from what I'm hearing, it's not overly serious for St. Juan Barclay.
• 17:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of just like a nerve issue in the neck and he's got to see how he progresses, but again, I would air on the side of him probably being good to go for week three.
• 17:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I say good to go though, this offense overall, like their offensive line is, you know,
• 17:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: two games don't want to make sweeping decisions here, but it feels pretty clear that they're not going to get back to to what they were in 2024.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You have landed Dickerson out, he's on the IR, you have, you know, just injuries across the old line, guys taking step backs, you got centers moving to right guard, etc, etc, vice versa, whatever.
• 18:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, good to see Smith to get off a big game though, 10 for 11 17 touchdown 13 targets.
• 18:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of what we imagine throughout the summer where he just sees incredibly high target chair and he's good enough to just make alpha plays.
• 18:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't even wicks continue to be really involved in this offense.
• 18:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: So in game scripts where they're throwing the ball it's on 37 past temps for Jalen Hertz, pretty uncharacteristic.
• 18:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Dantaving Wix will be a pretty good secondary player.
• 18:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also, I have to note Dallas got her left the game with a knee injury from what I'm hearing.
• 18:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a minor MCL sprain and he could return next week, but it does not seem to be a prolonged absence regardless.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: He'll get some more tests run today, but MCL is typically
• 18:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Almost like a pain tolerance issue usually a one to three-week absence, but probably on the on the safer side here So if you have got her I would make plans.
• 19:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have a backup tight end, but there's a chance that he does end up playing in week Three Tennessee Titans can board out a pretty good game ends up rushing in for two touchdowns The backfield is a mess.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean overall you just you actually just can't play anybody in Tennessee So there's not much to take away from here showed some fight.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: They showed some grit, but like I you know You don't get fucking fancy points for greater fight
• 19:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we're just going to move ahead from the Tennessee Titans.
• 19:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, Tennessee fans.
• 19:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of, you know, games that we love to move ahead from, I mean, the Steelers get smack 20 to three by the New England Patriots.
• 19:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: One of the worst offense performance is I feel like I've watched.
• 19:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: in a long time.
• 19:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: The sealers were horrendous.
• 19:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Rodgers takes four sacks, those in interception, lost the fumble here, could get nothing going with his number one guy, DK MECF.
• 19:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: MECF had 10 targets last week, nine targets in this one, can't get anything going through the air.
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michael Pitman was out for this one, you know, DK just saw a ton of Christian Gonzalez and he's just not better than Christian Gonzalez is good on defense.
• 20:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Backfield though, we do have some big news here.
• 20:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rico doubtal ended up some sort of foot injury, very likely turf toe was hurt, came back in, re-heard it, which does probably open the door for a very big workload for Jalen Warren going forward, if this is a multi-week.
• 20:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: absence.
• 20:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this was a backfield that it started to look like you can't really trust, especially with how passive they were going.
• 20:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is another game where obviously game script was not in their favor.
• 20:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Rogers had 39 pass attempts, 40 overall for the team.
• 20:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was I believe they had 40 in week one also.
• 20:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So under Michael McCarthy, they are like really pushing it to go passive here.
• 20:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely not sustainable with Aaron Rodgers and just DK Mekhaff out there.
• 20:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, Jalen Warren going forward should probably be an RB2 considering most of the touches will be condensed here to him and maybe they have Travis Homer play like a pure pass catching roll Jeremy Bernard should also throw him in there day to pick at
• 21:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's wide receiver, eight targets, so right behind DKMF, but mainly in favor of Michael Pitman being injured.
• 21:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the time table on Pitman is, but he did go DNP Thursday Friday, so was a downward trend there, so I'll have to see if he gets back to practice in week three.
• 21:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Drake May, another pretty pretty bad performance.
• 21:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Patriots, like just overall, didn't really play well.
• 21:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: They also lost their right tackle.
• 21:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're starting right tackle to, um,
• 21:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Forget exactly what the injury was, but there's just so fucking many to keep track of this week But he's gonna be out for the season.
• 21:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So downgrade to the offensive line Remondrae fumbled very early in this game and then trivial and Henderson looked really explosive at least for a singular carry
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: 39 yard touchdown run kind of like untouched up the middle, but that's what he gives you give him a lane you give him a hole and he is gone So had the 39 yard touchdown run.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: You take that away and he's like 15 for 35 on the ground I don't think this is like Remandra.
• 22:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's never going to be used again I just you know think that travions are really exposed to playmaker in an offense that badly badly Badly needs it here.
• 22:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if you had Remandra, he was a fun one week run
• 22:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I still think he's going to be the lead back there.
• 22:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I still think he's going to get the majority of carries.
• 22:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think much has changed for the Patriots in terms of what they were last year versus this year.
• 22:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I do think, if you're fumbled a ball, you're going to be in the doghouse here.
• 22:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: And Trayvillan took advantage of it in this one.
• 22:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Same amount of routes, more rush attempts for Trayvillan Henderson, long down distance naps, still in favor of Ramanjre, no goal line work to show from this one.
• 22:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just just kind of a messy group all around room.
• 22:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: The dobs big bounce back, you know, I felt like it was kind of obviously was still going to be the one there while you're around his gone.
• 22:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you have 96 yard games most of the time, probably not.
• 22:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: She'd also be mentioned Joey Porter Jr.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: The best cornerback for the sealers did not play in this one either.
• 22:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, this is what it is.
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Packers and jets.
• 23:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Packers scraper win away from the jets 22 17 in over time.
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: A sloppy sloppy game here.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where do I even start?
• 23:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's start with the injuries here.
• 23:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have Zack Tom, the packer's best offensive lineman.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: He has a different last name.
• 23:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I don't even know how to pronounce it.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know why as a different last name if he took his wife last wife's last name or something.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: But Zack Tom,
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Green Bay Packers offensive line was already not good.
• 23:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Aaron Banks, another interior offensive line in for them, who came into the game a little bit banged up, ended up leaving.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And they play on Thursday night football against the Falcon.
• 23:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: So probably gonna be without him as well.
• 23:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this was an offensive line that was already banged up.
• 23:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now losing two more starters, you can do the math.
• 23:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: The backfield, another mess, March on Lloyd ends up losing a fumble.
• 23:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: He does get in via a receiving touch down here.
• 23:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he like kind of salvages the day, but we're done with March on Lloyd.
• 23:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, I'm sorry.
• 24:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll never tell you to start March on Lloyd again.
• 24:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have not heard word on Josh Jacobs' suspension or discipline or anything from the league yet.
• 24:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot of, you know, reports out there that they're projecting somewhere between like three and six games and I am like pretty sure, I am pretty sure, don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure that once suspended the games that he's been missing right now will count towards that suspension.
• 24:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if the NFL ends up handing down a four game suspension,
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's a good chance that these first two games, and I have no idea when the suspension is gonna be handed down.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it could be handed down after a month, it could be handed down after six weeks.
• 24:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They could wait six weeks and say six weeks suspension, you've done your time, you can play golf forward, but there's also a chance that they handed down, this upcoming week or the week after four games, six games, these games that these missed count.
• 24:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: My worry is like, I don't know how much more Jacobs can bring to this offense with the way that the offensive line is playing right now.
• 24:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Johnson looked like the best running back in this backfield, and he might be the guy for the next couple of weeks while Josh Jacobs is out.
• 25:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just really tough to start any of these guys just giving the split there.
• 25:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: You had eight characters for Johnson, six for Lloyd, four for Christopher Brooks, Christopher Brooks is playing the past blocking role, but Martian Lloyd is catching more passes.
• 25:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's very messy back there.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how you can start any of them.
• 25:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, you know, even in a great match against the Atlanta Falcons fucking front seven there receivers.
• 25:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: We had an injury to Jayden Reed a pretty scary injury.
• 25:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: He ends up dealing with a neck issue.
• 25:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the severity of it.
• 25:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: We don't know a time table for return.
• 25:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: There might be some updates as I'm like doing this a lot of times like Monday around noon or whatever.
• 25:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: We do get to update.
• 25:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: We do get some updates.
• 25:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'll periodically check in and see if we have anything new for any of these, uh,
• 25:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Injuries while we're just fucking sitting here, you happen, give me a sec.
• 26:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: movement and all extremities remain obsolete hospitalized for test.
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know.
• 26:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, again, can't really judge from the reaction or what happened immediately after the injury, but it doesn't seem good.
• 26:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll put it that way.
• 26:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this receiver room is going to condense even more to Matthew Golden and Christian Watson, which we've already been seeing to a very, very, very, very high degree there.
• 26:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Christian Watson ends up having a good game because he scores the touchdown.
• 26:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Matthew golden continues to get peppered all over the field.
• 26:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if you have either of those two, you feel great.
• 26:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: hasn't made plays yet, man.
• 26:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit surprising.
• 26:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: He probably doesn't have his full expulsiveness back, but he did run 91% of the routes.
• 26:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'd imagine if Jayden Reed misses significant time, like, you know, he's only going to continue running more and more routes.
• 26:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So hold steady on Tucker craft here.
• 26:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hold steady.
• 26:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, don't don't give up hope yet.
• 26:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: The underlying metrics feel pretty good in terms of usage and everything there.
• 26:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: But the
• 27:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side, we had Gino played our right, add an imitial guy, Wilson played our right, Breeze Hall played pretty poorly on the ground, which is just what you're gonna get from running back in the New York Jets backfield.
• 27:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Braylon Allen took the one rushing touchdown they had.
• 27:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: always going to be concerned with a guy like Breeze Hall, but he does look good.
• 27:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: He does look explosive.
• 27:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: He is, you know, seeing 20 plus touches per game, how long is that going to hold up?
• 27:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think for like a pretty good portion of the season, man.
• 27:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is how the jets want to play.
• 27:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think if they weren't fucking stupid, they probably win this game, but they are stupid.
• 27:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're the jets, and they don't win this game.
• 27:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh,
• 27:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Overall, I feel pretty good about Bristol.
• 27:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's like a pretty solid running back to.
• 27:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think this was kind of always the the case for him.
• 27:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Where's like he was going to get a lot of touches.
• 27:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's a good pass catching back, but like I definitely do not expect him to score week in and week out.
• 27:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: should also be noted.
• 27:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think what's his face?
• 27:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mason Taylor, the second year, second round tight end, I believe got hurt in this one.
• 27:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know the severity of the injury, but if it is going to cause time miss there for Mason Taylor, Kenyan CD could get kind of interesting here.
• 28:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was very involved last week and, you know, creative ways end around on the goal line, things like that, not very involved in this one, but just, you know,
• 28:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Brown's Tampa.
• 28:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, the box man, what a hail.
• 28:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the Sean basically has his best game as a Cleveland Brown, 238 to touchdowns through the air.
• 28:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: The box defense is obviously super super bad right now.
• 28:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's just not great.
• 28:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Quintai-Judkins, super super bad right now, not great.
• 28:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just get nothing going on the ground.
• 28:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like pick your poison, man.
• 28:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, all right, we can hand the ball to Quintai-Judkins and get two yards or we could let the Sean Watson probably get sack to throw a pick or do something fucking stupid.
• 28:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: But
• 28:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Played well.
• 28:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Denzel Boston is cooking, and that's really all the positive you can actually say about this.
• 28:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: 5 for 95 in the touchdown, another long touchdown pass.
• 28:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or catch four dends up, Austin leads a team in targets, had a ton of hype throughout the summer and it seems like it's coming to fruition now.
• 29:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do you really wanna bet on an invest in Cleveland pass catchers?
• 29:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Probably not.
• 29:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna come with a very, very, very low weekly floor.
• 29:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, if Boston doesn't catch a big touchdown pass, he's probably gonna give you three or four points.
• 29:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely someone, you know, that is worth owning and we'll talk a lot more about him in tomorrow's waiver wire video.
• 29:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: But he is in exciting, young, rookie, probably very easily could have got first round draft capital ends of going early second round along with KC Concepts-Yone.
• 29:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Concepts-Yone unfortunately is just like not getting any valuable targets.
• 29:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's seeing a ton of underneath stuff and it's not really leading too much.
• 29:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I wish we'd get a little bit more involvement from Halde Fanon, but we're probably going to get the Sean Watson for at least a few more weeks after this one.
• 29:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tampa Bay Bucks.
• 29:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: We got Baker playing like shit.
• 29:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bucky is like the lone bright spot in this offense.
• 29:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really I mean, yeah, like Kenny game will came in and is making almost zero impact here.
• 29:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bucky, I mean, outcatches him, but only has a yard on four catches, but 17 carries the two carries for Kenny game well.
• 30:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're not using him at all.
• 30:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Which is good news for Bucky drafters.
• 30:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: The receivers though.
• 30:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really don't know what to make of a mecca of Buka.
• 30:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: Baker.
• 30:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say Baker keeps missing him on throws, but like eventually you got to start connecting on that.
• 30:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Does that make me feel better about a bokeh that is quarterback keeps missing him on throws?
• 30:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not really.
• 30:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing you can do is hold on and hold Saturday with a bokeh.
• 30:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: You probably used an end third early fourth round pick on him and I'm not
• 30:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: necessarily looking to move off of him quite yet, um, but we are starting to get to that that area.
• 30:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Usually after week three is when I'll start to like, you know, really dive in to players, whether or not I'm holding on to them long term or I want to start to move them or if they're pieces around my league that I'm looking to make moves on just I just don't think you have a real sample size until after three games.
• 30:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Usually, within the first two weeks, you'll have a one-game sample size where you're playing a really tough defense, a one-game sample size where you're playing a really shitty defense, a one-game sample size where you're like, you just don't play like yourself or the game script is weird or whatever, but after three, four games, you start to actually crystallize who you are, what you are, as players, and as offenses.
• 31:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And right now, not looking good for Tampa Bay.
• 31:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just think they need to shake about coachman.
• 31:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Todd Bowles is just like the most uninspiring dude ever.
• 31:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't actually know what he brings to this team right now.
• 31:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: So,
• 31:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let us move to the Saints versus the Ravens.
• 31:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, one of the things I should also point out in that game.
• 31:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Sean Tucker was active for this one.
• 31:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So another, you know, plus for Bucky that he wasn't really involved at all.
• 31:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Good game here.
• 31:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Saints Ravens, Saints pulled off 24, 17.
• 31:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tyler Schuck has another really strong day.
• 31:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Alave, amazing day.
• 31:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Joanne Johnson, good, Devon Valey.
• 31:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: They all just did exactly what we kind of expected them to do.
• 31:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know,
• 31:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: A lot of these going crazy right now.
• 31:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'm curious to see what this offense looks like when Jordan Tyson returns.
• 31:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like before you know, it Jordan Tyson's going to be back.
• 31:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whether that's week five, whether that's week six.
• 31:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it will change the dynamic of the amount of volume that Chris Alave gets.
• 31:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: But like loving everything we're seeing from the New Orleans Saints offense except for that backfield.
• 32:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, this one looks like it's just going to go down as a miss for me.
• 32:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was high on Travis ETN in your idiot league mates.
• 32:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I drafted him at the four or five turn as my running back to luckily the rest of my team is fucking stack money, but he looks like he's going to be a problem for me.
• 32:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any more excuses for him.
• 32:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Alvin Kamara was active for the first time.
• 32:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm actually deactivated Kendra Miller.
• 32:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kendra Miller was a healthy scratch for this one and it didn't matter.
• 32:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were playing Alvin Kamara over Travis ETN.
• 32:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: like most of the time.
• 32:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: He got more carries than him.
• 32:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: He ran more routes than him.
• 32:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like cut five passes for seven yards.
• 32:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, I just don't know at what point do you say, hey, Evan Clark's 1.4 yards per section is not good enough?
• 32:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
• 32:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I just maybe they just don't think E.T.N.
• 32:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: is that good.
• 32:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And to be honest with you, when I'm watching him play, it's not like he's doing anything that seems like he's deserving of
• 32:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: seeing 20 touches.
• 32:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: So unfortunately, that again, that one just might go down as a miss here.
• 32:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I really don't know.
• 33:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: What else is going to change here?
• 33:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: CJ Johnson is playing too many of the fucking snaps here in this backfield too.
• 33:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like if you got him out of the picture and it was like a 50, 50 split in terms of touches.
• 33:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you got ETN 53% of the snaps.
• 33:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Fewer rushing attempts in Alvin Kamara.
• 33:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Ran more routes didn't get targeted like him.
• 33:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did take the short down in distance.
• 33:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Also had a goal on touchdown called back.
• 33:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like woulda had a, you know, relatively okay day.
• 33:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: And barely even that for fantasy, but it was brutal.
• 33:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was brutal.
• 33:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't really know what to tell you there.
• 33:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any hope, you know, or optimism right now based on what's going on in the in the same world.
• 33:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let me actually look at what there's upcoming schedule is.
• 33:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Normally I have my iPad open with the NFL, uh, upcoming schedule.
• 33:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I got a lock in one time.
• 33:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's week two and I'm not locked in.
• 33:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: What the hell?
• 33:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you're hanging out, go hit the thumbs up button, please.
• 34:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Hmm, since gets the Raiders, then the Falcons, Minnesota's tough, but then the Giants.
• 34:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, they've got some games coming up.
• 34:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've got some games coming up where each Yankees do a thing.
• 34:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: He could do a thing.
• 34:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: He could score like eight points, how we don't.
• 34:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Flipside, Lamar Jackson, with no Zay Flowers, does hook up with her shot Bateman, does hook up with Mark Andrews quite a bit, which is not totally unexpected there, but they just looked a little clunky.
• 34:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: They completely got away from the running game in the second half, which felt like kind of a fucking,
• 34:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: a free win if they if they didn't do that but they did do that and a lot of 15 points in the fourth quarter and lose because of that so you know maybe it's just like you don't trust your offense at this point right now without zay flowers um he is dealing with a hamstring injury which got them out this game but he was limited in practice towards the end of next week so i think there's
• 34:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's calls for optimism.
• 34:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Usually hamstrings are a two-week absence.
• 34:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I would say it's, you know, as positive as the reports were, for ZAflowers being very close to play, I don't think it's a guarantee that he ends up playing next week.
• 34:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: It can definitely happen, but I would say, still if you're a ZAflowers guy, just still,
• 35:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: you know, prepare for him not to be ready to go.
• 35:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: One other injury I do want to talk about on the St. Side actually is Kelvin Banks.
• 35:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're starting tackle who's the first round pick.
• 35:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Top 10 pick last year.
• 35:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe 10-11 somewhere over there.
• 35:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: He ended up suffering a high angle spring for the St.
• 35:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So they're down one of their key offensive linemen as well.
• 35:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they look pretty good on offense.
• 35:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bengals and Texans, Bengals man to a no shout out.
• 35:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: They beat the Texans, 20 to six.
• 35:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Joe Burrow, not of a huge statistical game, but 200 and two through the air against one of the toughest past defenses.
• 35:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: In the NFL, Chase Brown, 20 carries 80 yards.
• 35:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not a good fantasy day, but I mean, 23 touches.
• 35:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: All you can ask for against the Houston Texans defense in game with better opponents.
• 35:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Chase Brown, again, that kind of workload in this type of offense is going to have
• 35:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: massive massive days where he has multiple touchdowns and scores you 25 fantasy points to more chase unbelievable receptions throughout this day just you know reminding you why he's the goat.
• 36:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He higgins strong day as well.
• 36:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just had their playmakers make plays in this one.
• 36:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: on the flip side Houston.
• 36:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, see this route through for 353 yards.
• 36:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was on 55 pass attempts that they can get nothing going through the air outside of peppering Dalton Schultz who goes 12 for 140.
• 36:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was a really strong star.
• 36:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think by the end of the week we had him up at like Titan 8 or 9 in our rankings, which clearly wasn't high enough, but without Nico, they just don't really have many trusted weapons and and Schultz has kind of been a trusted guy for stroud for a while now.
• 36:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the ground though, I mean, unsurprisingly, David Montgomery's three touchdown game a week on was like the fakeest good game of all time.
• 36:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was like 20 for 60 on the ground.
• 36:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this is an issue when they're interior, they're offensive lines.
• 36:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Stinks and on the flip side, the Cincinnati Bengals defense man, they look like a legitimate fucking contender right now.
• 36:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to go crazy on it.
• 36:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: But clearly, they are a significantly better defense and a significantly tougher matchup for all opposing players, right?
• 37:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is the Texans without Nico Collins.
• 37:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: They played the Bucks last week and clearly the Bucks are just not a very good team.
• 37:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just lost to the Browns.
• 37:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: But last year, the Bengals are giving up 30 points to both of those teams.
• 37:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the addition of many players, but Dexter Lawrence has been the skeleton key for them.
• 37:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I tweeted this out and it's like kind of going viral on Twitter right now.
• 37:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But through two weeks, Dexter Lawrence, who was widely written off as being kind of washed, kind of fat, kind of this, kind of that, the number one graded interior defensive linemen in the NFL through two weeks per PFF.
• 37:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, PFF grades are all over the place, but this one is very, very, very, very, very clearly, directionally pinpoint accurate.
• 37:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you watch the games, the extra Lawrence is a force, and he is very difficult to run at.
• 37:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, defense much improved, which, you know, is obviously phenomenal for Cincinnati, the Cincinnati Bangle theme, because you don't need Joe Barrel to drop back 40, 50 times.
• 38:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can just play the way that you want to, and that is what they did.
• 38:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: In Nico
• 38:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's not good.
• 38:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: No one caught more than three passes.
• 38:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: No wide receiver or tight end outside of Dalton Schultz.
• 38:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So this was kind of the thesis going in.
• 38:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's like, you can't really trust any of these guys to be in your fantasy line-ups while Nico Collins is out.
• 38:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'd be, you know, again, I'd be surprised if Nico plays next week.
• 38:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: The hamstring injuries, especially ones that happen midweek, are typically multi game absences.
• 38:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Most of the reports are already coming out saying like he's more likely to return in week four than week three,
• 38:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Get a win with Nico Collins on your bench this week.
• 38:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're kind of playing with house money and you're like, all right, cool, rest up, get right king, get back into my lineup, help me win games going forward.
• 38:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So again, Nico Collins, I would be prepared to be without him if I am a Nico Collins owner, which I am.
• 38:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we move to the Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguar.
• 38:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: So the Broncos win 22, 13, not a great game.
• 39:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Really all around, I think, from basically anyone except for the two top.
• 39:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: receivers in this one.
• 39:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we had Trevor Lawrence had a good first half, but then second half really just like fell apart there, 189 and an interception through the air.
• 39:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: So a terrible fantasy day.
• 39:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: The backfield is still like 2 in 13 for 65 and a touchdown on the ground.
• 39:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Guess the goal line carry there.
• 39:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: We
• 39:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: which is good to see, like very, very much, like if you went to in Old Rodriguez this summer, you feel really good about it because Rodriguez, I think, has six carriers and back to back weeks and two point two yards for carriers, just not going to get it done.
• 39:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's obviously not catching any passes.
• 39:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's not running routes.
• 39:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, they're not really getting, based on two in Super involved in the passing game and like getting him in space and like letting him do what he does best, which is like be really explosive in space.
• 39:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: He does look good on the ground, looks like the best running back in that backfield by far.
• 39:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: The goal and work great to see.
• 39:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: I would be very optimistic about Toon going forward though.
• 39:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say like he's a great flex play and this is one of those where like the sample size is so small to wear Like they beat the shit out of the browns in week one.
• 40:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: They don't need to like overwork based on Toon.
• 40:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then they play a really difficult Denver Broncos defense in week two.
• 40:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think
• 40:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: when they're schedule kind of neutralizes and they're playing normal games against normal teams where they're just within games or within points of the other team and the other team is not a leap defense.
• 40:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: That's where we're going to see two and probably have very, very big days.
• 40:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: But again, this is just an offense that I want to have pieces attached to.
• 40:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Parker Washington, awesome, seven for 98.
• 40:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I cannot believe Jacksonville did not give this guy an extension in the summer, because now they're going to have to pay him $40 million a year.
• 40:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Every bit of hype, you know what's crazy is like,
• 40:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: You very, very rarely ever see the level of hype that Parker had throughout this summer, and it actually comes to fruition.
• 40:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: It like never happens, and I mean, it just happening in front of her eyes.
• 40:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: This dude is so fucking good, man.
• 40:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: 12 targets, seven catches, 98 yards, BTJ, eight targets,
• 40:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: just drop some passes like BTJ just is what he is.
• 40:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jakobi really poor game.
• 40:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say though obviously tough match up against the Denver Broncos, Trevor Lawrence and Playwell.
• 41:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jakobi Myers is still running like almost every route for this team.
• 41:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's someone that I have on my your idiot league mate team.
• 41:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I don't need like to depend on him to win games or anything, but like I am cautiously optimistic here.
• 41:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, again, you just want to attach yourself to guys in this offense.
• 41:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he's running 95% of the routes, not getting a lot of targets, but I still think good days are ahead with this type of utilization in this type of offense.
• 41:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Moving to the Broncos, Bonix, pretty good day.
• 41:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Almost three months through the air.
• 41:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Him and Jalen Wattle were just connecting every fucking two seconds in this game.
• 41:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that was great to see bounce back, Jalen Wattle, if you ended up drafting them in the fourth fifth round.
• 41:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is what Sean Payton was talking about all summer long.
• 41:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: So came to fruition here again, feel really good on the bounce back.
• 41:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now, the backfield gets messy, because we have RJ Harvey, who is sitting for this game because he had a hamstring injury.
• 41:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Then JK Dobbins leaves this game with an injury, and let me check the twatter and see if we got any updates here.
• 42:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, Dobbins is also a hamstring injury, uh, average two weeks.
• 42:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: MRI Monday to determine severity, most would miss week three.
• 42:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if active running back typically see a dip in touches.
• 42:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
• 42:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: So hamstring injury for him, hamstring injury for RJ Harvey, uh, which obviously opens up the backfield of Jonah Coleman.
• 42:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: He was a very, very like prized handcuff possession throughout most of the summer.
• 42:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of things needed to happen for him to be like relevant and a lot of things happened.
• 42:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have the Harvey injury.
• 42:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have the Dobbins injury.
• 42:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: And he looked good in this one, and I don't really, it doesn't even fucking matter if he looks good or not.
• 42:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is just such a good situation if the other guys are hurt.
• 42:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like if Dobbins is out the next two weeks of RJ Harvey misses another game, the starting running back who's going to monopolize touches in this backfield is going to be a problem.
• 42:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will say, Tyler Bady, like pretty good past blocker, man.
• 43:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: underrated for his size and I think there's a world where he sees some some snaps of Dobbins' out to and he plays like a little bit more in the RJ Harvey role than we want to give credit for, but overall the injury to Dobbins is really big for Coleman.
• 43:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's really big for RJ Harvey if he can get back for this week.
• 43:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, one to very, very, very, very closely keep an eye on for the practice reports.
• 43:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Jonah Coleman's on the way or why are he is probably, I will say, too.
• 43:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like, Dobbins was a guy who really liked like the eighth, ninth round because on paper, you know, you're starting writing back for the Denver Broncos.
• 43:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have played two, two really tough run defenses to start the year in the chiefs in the Jaguars.
• 43:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: Chiefs, I guess, a little bit TBD, but
• 43:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: with the way the Dobbins has been running, like even just watching the games, he doesn't really look good.
• 43:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does seem like the injuries are now starting to pile on, like he doesn't really look explosive where, you know, the last couple years, not like he was overly explosive, but you didn't watch him were like, yo, buddy.
• 44:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Buddy.
• 44:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but that's what it felt like this weekend.
• 44:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, there's a world where like Dobbins misses a couple games, you don't know Coleman has some good games, and this is just a very messy three man backfield situation.
• 44:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, Coleman, yeah, definitely go grab him on the wire if you can.
• 44:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: She, the Raiders and the Chargers, Chargers, huge favorites.
• 44:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, once again, lose by double digits.
• 44:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Raiders go to 2 and 0.
• 44:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Chargers go to 0 and 2.
• 44:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kirk, three touchdown passes.
• 44:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tray Tucker goes bonkers without Brock Bowers.
• 44:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Does seem like Brock Bowers is going to return.
• 44:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he will be the number one target.
• 44:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Once again here, Tucker does this once a year where everybody's out and he just has a big game shout out.
• 44:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jenty, not a great game, but he did get another 25 touches.
• 44:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So good to see.
• 44:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side, man.
• 44:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, I mean, it listen, it's looking like Mike McDonald's is the fake sharp.
• 44:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It just looks like he's the fake sharp.
• 44:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: It looked like he took advantage of the NFL while, uh, they just weren't playing that shell defense.
• 44:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I talked about that for the last couple of years about how like, you know, last year or the year before we just were not drafting pass catchers in Miami's offense because, uh, every team has just figured out a play cover two, play cover four against this defense or this offense and they can't really throw the ball downfield.
• 45:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it leads to just an ineffectiveness.
• 45:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, and it came around the same time that like my home started to struggle through on the ball, right?
• 45:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like they started lapsing on deep presses.
• 45:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like so good with with with with with Tyree can Kelsey for a long time and then defenses started playing these cover two shells and those both those offenses just kind of got neutered, right?
• 45:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: As soon as like there was a sweeping change in the way the defenses played explosive downfield offenses, they got neutered.
• 45:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know that Mike McDaniel ever figured out how to beat defenses now that play the way that they're playing against him.
• 45:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't think anyone's like, for a given here, Herbert's playing skittish.
• 45:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's playing bad.
• 45:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're offensive line doesn't look good.
• 45:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even their studs, Joe all played terribly yesterday.
• 45:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: Lab McConkey didn't play a full slate of snaps.
• 45:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Clearly recovering from the rib injury still.
• 45:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: They probably should have just fucking sat him in this one.
• 45:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: But.
• 45:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, only Omarin Hampton ends up with a decent day, and he loses a super costly phone ball at the end of the game, too.
• 46:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: So like, just a shit day for the Chargers, I wish I could say I'm optimistic about it going forward, but like, these were the two games that you needed to win.
• 46:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: You had the Cardinals and the Raiders, and now you play like the most difficult schedule in the NFL over the next six games.
• 46:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have it in front of me, but it's fucking brutal, man.
• 46:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me see what they got.
• 46:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where are you, Chargy Pooz?
• 46:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so listen to this shit.
• 46:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: They add the Cardinals and the Raiders.
• 46:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're next seven games at Buffalo.
• 46:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: So cross-country at Buffalo at Seattle versus Denver at Kansas City.
• 46:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: A buy at the LA Rams versus Houston at Baltimore.
• 46:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: like it just doesn't free up after that great schedule, but the next seven games, it's you're going through the seven circles of hell.
• 47:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's the thing.
• 47:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's the right number.
• 47:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's the right phrase, but like whatever it is, we just made a new phrase up for them and they're they're experiencing it.
• 47:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's not good, man.
• 47:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not good at all.
• 47:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: uh... couple injuries though for the chargers their tight ends they've been joku carted off charlie colar also got hurt not a big deal except for this could obviously open up a ton of routes for a rendezvous and we saw them have a really strong rookie year obviously in the past catching department last year and hervers are to use them
• 47:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: they can't trust him in the past blocking game, but this is one of the situations where they're just down to zero bodies.
• 47:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have to be on the field.
• 47:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: 48% of the routes here, like he's just going to catch passes if both of those guys miss extended time.
• 47:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I actually think sneaky Gaston is like a really good tight and pick up this week if you are desperate at the position.
• 47:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because in Joku, got carded Colars hard as well, so
• 48:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we got Cowboys Commanders.
• 48:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Cowboys play their normal game, press Cowboys nuts, lamb went fucking nuts, Fergi scored two touchdowns.
• 48:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Pickings been pretty disappointing.
• 48:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I ain't going to lie to you there, but eight targets are not overly concerned.
• 48:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, attach yourself to good offenses and good outcomes will come eventually, but clearly lamb is the alpha here over pickled steins.
• 48:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Javante really disappointing game in what should have been a good matchup, you know, expected into score 15 to 20 fantasy points pretty easily here, but he didn't look great.
• 48:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately for Javante owners, though, they just have nobody else in that backfield that's going to take touches from him.
• 48:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, better days ahead, flip side big news, of course, is Jaden Daniels dislocates that elbow again.
• 48:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now,
• 48:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Herd reports all over the place for this one.
• 48:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he dislocates the elbow that he dislocated last year.
• 48:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are a few different paths he can go.
• 48:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did not get surgery on it last year.
• 49:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: And because of that, the tendon was still pretty weak and was susceptible to it being, you know, torn again or dislocated again, which is what happened.
• 49:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: It becomes easier to do each time, especially if you don't get the surgery, if you opt to get the surgery, it's on his non-throwing arm.
• 49:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he does not have to get it.
• 49:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: If he opts to get it, he's likely going to be out for, you know, the remainder of the season most likely.
• 49:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: However, again, he does not have to get it.
• 49:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: He can opt not to get it.
• 49:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: He can play with a brace, and he can be back on the field in a few weeks.
• 49:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So there is a world where he says, yo, I'm just gonna wear a brace, which will help stabilize it.
• 49:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: If I do end up needing to put my arm on the ground or whatever, or stiff arm a guy or whatever, and it will help the strength of that tendon, like not snap again, and he could push that off till after the season.
• 49:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: And in that case, like he could return relatively soon.
• 49:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Whether or not that's gonna be his decision, I don't know.
• 50:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: We saw the franchise like want to rest him as much as possible last year to get him right, but it's very early in the season.
• 50:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're already old and too hard to tell what they're gonna want to push to do.
• 50:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: You also, Jaden's like one of those dudes that has his mom and is here about everything and I could see his mom being like, yo, you don't want to ruin your entire future forever.
• 50:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: So get the surgery, get right, be back, et cetera.
• 50:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: So until we have what what I'll say is that the the the range of outcomes for this is very, very wide, but if I own Jayden Daniels, there is a path to where he just simply doesn't get surgery plays of the brace and can be back in, you know, and might not even go on the IR.
• 50:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we'll just have to kind of sit and wait if he doesn't play obviously Mark's Mario is going to fill in and he's one of the better backups, but still like you don't want your receivers catching passes from Mark's Mario to in this offense because you didn't look fucking great yesterday before he went down obviously dials defense, but still looks really good.
• 50:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looks so explosive.
• 50:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Looks like the fastest guy in the field.
• 51:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Terramaclornman was in a great spot.
• 51:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was like inches away from a monster game.
• 51:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: He goes two for 50 on nine targets.
• 51:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, he has that touchdown in the back of the end zone.
• 51:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: That bobbled a little bit.
• 51:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: That would have been a 40-yard touchdown.
• 51:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: Antonio Williams on a trick play throw.
• 51:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: Just missed him on his backside for another 30-yard touchdown.
• 51:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: So could have been a massive, massive day for Terry.
• 51:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Overall, still very much concerned about Terry when he's not playing the Dallas Cowboys.
• 51:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Stefan Diggs looks really good.
• 51:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, though, you just kind of have to dock this entire passing game
• 51:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jayden Daniels is a projection to miss time here, unfortunately.
• 51:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Whoa, that's scared me.
• 51:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: I have like a screen on my phone.
• 51:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like this layer of, you know, glass or whatever, and every time I put it face down, it just slides off the fucking thing that it's on.
• 51:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it always drops.
• 51:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then it just cracks.
• 51:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it's like, it's like, I put it on, so it doesn't break, but then when I put it on, it causes it the fall, which causes shit the break.
• 52:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: What the hell?
• 52:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yo, also?
• 52:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now that we're deep in this stream, I'm, uh, I'm getting a puppy today.
• 52:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm, I'm going to get a puppy today.
• 52:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm raising a dog on my own.
• 52:18
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like kind of fucking really nervous about it.
• 52:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to get it in three hours.
• 52:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little French bulldog.
• 52:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's 12 weeks old.
• 52:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm like terrified to learn how to train it.
• 52:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I definitely should have waited until the off season, not in week two of the NFL season, but if, yeah, I don't really know what to say.
• 52:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just fucking nervous man.
• 52:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's gonna poop and pee everywhere.
• 52:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: So then anyone has words of wisdom.
• 52:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna get a, I think like some training sessions early on, maybe like once a week or something, so I just learned how to take care of this thing.
• 52:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's all I really had to say.
• 52:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm going to name a Macsion.
• 52:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I was thinking about naming either Action or Bronson, love the rapper, and I think they're both individual good names.
• 53:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: But now I've just my name, I'm Josh Allen.
• 53:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Or I'm my name, I'm Action Smith and Jigba.
• 53:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: That'd be kind of fire.
• 53:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: I get down.
• 53:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Best thing about dogs is like you could just call him 40 different things, you know?
• 53:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like I got 50 nicknames for him.
• 53:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to call him ASN.
• 53:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: For Action Smith and Jigba.
• 53:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, speaking of Action Smith and Jigba.
• 53:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: My goat, so the C-Ox beat the shit out of the cardinals.
• 53:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's just gonna be fucking impossible to score on this team.
• 53:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Their defense is so good.
• 53:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Drew Lockfields in 235, three touchdowns, all three touchdowns to Jackson, Smith, and Jigba, 11 targets here, and insanely high target share once again.
• 53:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's so fucking good, man.
• 53:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's just so good.
• 53:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody else in the passing game is worthless.
• 53:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think Darnell probably misses one more game.
• 53:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: They play against Washington next week.
• 53:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to need them to win that game.
• 53:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be a relative recovered by week four at the latest probably week five is what we're hearing in terms of a return.
• 53:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: The backfield.
• 53:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: a little bit messy right now.
• 53:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did Aaron Price was playing pretty well 13 for 52 on the ground.
• 54:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: He did leave the game though with what's called a chest injury.
• 54:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: It does not seem to be overly serious.
• 54:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know that he's going to miss time.
• 54:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to wait on reports or test.
• 54:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: But I think if I have him, I'm not overly concerned in his absence.
• 54:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: So Emmanuel Wilson just
• 54:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: totaled the rock.
• 54:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: So obviously something to keep an eye on, if you're daring prices, MRI results or tests come back and they're worse than expected, it does seem like a manual Wilson will kind of be the guy in this backfield wall.
• 54:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: George Hologna just plays a very, very, very secondary role to a manual Wilson.
• 54:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: We did see a manual Wilson play really well for the Packers last year in his limited starts when Josh Jacobs was out.
• 54:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So do not forget about that.
• 54:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this is a very run-friendly offense, obviously.
• 54:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Flipside to Kobe really struggled in this one.
• 54:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody struggled on the Cardinals off.
• 54:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: And obviously Marvin Harris and Jr. just like, I'm sorry.
• 54:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if you drafted in this year, that's fucking on you, man.
• 54:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what y'all was doing there.
• 54:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jeremiah, love.
• 54:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: going to start creeping up, man.
• 54:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously it's a Seattle defense, like very hard to expect any sort of success from anyone on the scene, but I do think we're just going to start to see more and more Jeremiah and he's going to start to be really, really, really, really good here.
• 55:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
• 55:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, cards.
• 55:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Miami San Fran.
• 55:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean San Francisco, which is clicking on all cylinders.
• 55:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: They just fucking lose more players though.
• 55:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: More injuries in this one.
• 55:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: So you had Perti.
• 55:36
  [SPEAKER_01]: Perti had like a near perfect game.
• 55:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Almost 300 and two through the air, 30 more in a touchdown on the ground.
• 55:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Christian McAfrey gets two kind of free goal line carries, which does save his fantasy day catches full more passes.
• 55:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: New Marcus Robinson suffers a high ankle sprain.
• 55:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: Mike Evans also
• 55:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: But they said that not overly serious and probably could have returned, but they were up by so many points that they didn't want to put him back in there.
• 55:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the injuries are starting to pile up for Mike Evans.
• 56:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Now this is in season.
• 56:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he's out there.
• 56:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: You obviously put him into your lineup, but I would say the big positive takeaway here is definitely George Kittle for 80 in the touchdown.
• 56:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: This was one where like felt not obvious coming in that he was going to have this big of a day, but with Jake tongue is out for the remainder of the season and the amount of injuries that they have at the receiver core like.
• 56:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even if Kiddles only 60 to 70% of what he was in the previous five years, like he's going to run so many routes and they don't really have many other options in the passing game right now.
• 56:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So he'll continue to eat quite a bit there.
• 56:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Miami, yeah, just just brutal all around.
• 56:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Douglas suffers a high ankle sprain as well.
• 56:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I wish I could say like that makes me optimistic about it.
• 56:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Do like Chris Bell, but Chris Bell still running about 50% of the routes here.
• 56:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was what he did in week one.
• 56:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I think he actually dropped underneath 50% in week two.
• 56:49
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it would a love to have seen an uptick post a Caleb Douglas world.
• 56:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: But we didn't really Washington being heavily heavily involved heavily targeted in the passing game.
• 56:58
  [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, he could be like Wandell Robinson maybe of like last year.
• 57:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not as explosive obviously, but I do think in PPR leagues where the dolphins are going to have to throw the ball a lot.
• 57:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: You know, he could be a guy, but yeah.
• 57:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this was one of the reasons we were just kind of staying away from the dolphins offense overall.
• 57:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: HN like, yeah, tough man.
• 57:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you took them early 20 calories, 74 yards, three catches, 19 yards, just just not great man.
• 57:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not a lot of scoring opportunities.
• 57:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Not a lot of dump offs from milk will just a lot of time of possession for the other teams.
• 57:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: And the last game of the slate, we had the OT, Sunday Night Football Chiefs 33 Indianapolis Colts 30 moves Kansas City to know moves the Colts to O and to and man, Padma Holmes, Padma Holmes looks fucking phenomenal.
• 57:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: He looks awesome and he's doing it with this this litter of receivers.
• 57:51
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thirty fucking nine-year-old Travis Kelsey,
• 58:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I would, you know, put a lot of that credit in the hands of Kenneth Walker, man, Ken Walker looks so good.
• 58:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Another 30 touches in this one.
• 58:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: It just forces defense not to be able to play back on them.
• 58:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: Like they have to respect Kenneth Walker and they have to respect the runs so much that it's very difficult to like get a read on what the cheese are going to do.
• 58:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, my home looks so, so, so good, man.
• 58:26
  [SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side.
• 58:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Jones looks alright.
• 58:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: We have Alec Pierce who re-injures his like heel foot area.
• 58:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I don't really have a ton of like, you know, exact notes or science on the injury right now.
• 58:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is likely going to be a multi week absence for him.
• 58:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's obviously you know was recovering from that ankle heel surgery.
• 58:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: This all season for a very very long time It was kind of ramping up in the beginning of the season ends up re-indring it yesterday And you could see he was in a lot of pain.
• 58:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: He could barely walk around put him into the medical tent and then immediately kind of took him off in the cart into the locker room Let's take a quick swig at any updates on these guys
• 59:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: on crutches, yeah, of course, out here's left heel injury, same hills y'all see in surgery, X-rays negative further evaluation, imaging needed to assess soft tissue tendon involvement, yeah, just a lot of just like up in the air share right now.
• 59:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Did you see someone about JK Dobbins where he said he's good?
• 59:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: We believe that.
• 59:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Broncos running back JK Dallas will have some days win over the Jaguar's with a hamstring injury is quote unquote goods or said they face the ramps next Sunday so uh yeah we'll see we'll see about that hamstring injuries typically again cost
• 59:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: between one and three weeks, maybe it's just a little tweak and it wasn't an actual like real strain, but it remains to be seen.
• 59:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: So in Alpiers' absence, I mean, it's gonna be Josh Downs, Laquan Treadwell ran a lot of routes and Tyler Warren, unfortunately seven targets only turned into six cats for 21 yards, but does get home with a touchdown, which is nice.
• 1:00:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's check out the routes for the cults, though.
• 1:00:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: 91% of Josh Downs love to see it.
• 1:00:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, Juan Treadwell looks like he's going to take over to the other outside receiver here, 76% of the routes.
• 1:00:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Keenan Allen, you know, mainly a slot guy right now, 61%.
• 1:00:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Daniel Jones does drop back for 31 past steps here.
• 1:00:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Jonathan Taylor, you know, another fucking big day, obviously goes for about a buck 30 from skirmidge.
• 1:00:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: Two touchdowns, four catches, not a ton of takeaways overall from from this game that we didn't already know.
• 1:00:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: Kelsey does look really good.
• 1:00:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: And my home is looking really good.
• 1:00:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: So it does feel like Kelsey is is looking like he's going to end up being a very, very good fantasy pick.
• 1:00:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: If you got him ladies, you're starting tight and Kenneth Walker, you know, top five pick right now for show.
• 1:00:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, didn't learn much else from this game, but yeah, out pierce out obviously you're going to boost up downs.
• 1:00:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to boost up Tyler Warren and they're going to have to continue to run through Jonathan Taylor in this one.
• 1:01:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's all we got.
• 1:01:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is all we got, a crisp one hour.
• 1:01:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: What's going on in the chat?
• 1:01:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's just too many fucking comments.
• 1:01:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going on.
• 1:01:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: All right, homies, I'm going to dip out here.
• 1:01:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: So quick hour.
• 1:01:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: Again, do this every single Monday.
• 1:01:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: So if you're new here, subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell, let you know when I go live usually between noon and 2 PM Eastern time every Monday recapping the games from the previous slate every Tuesday will have waiver wire videos.
• 1:01:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: So that'll be up around noon 1 PM Eastern time tomorrow.
• 1:01:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: waiver wire rankings will be up on the site for those of you that are fantasy members on bdge.co will give you fab suggestions or actual rankings of all the players.
• 1:01:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: This is a big week for it because there are a lot of injuries around the NFL and then we will have our running back rankings video on Wednesday.
• 1:02:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see you for rankings video on Thursday and I think I'm going to do a trade target video this week on Friday.
• 1:02:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: So we will have five videos going out and then
• 1:02:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: week three.
• 1:02:11
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll start and then we'll do it all over again, fucking 17 times in a row.
• 1:02:15
  [SPEAKER_01]: I got to go grab action Smith and Jakba.
• 1:02:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: Next video you will likely see a very tiny little puppy.
• 1:02:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: I did not kidnap it.
• 1:02:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: It is mine.
• 1:02:23
  [SPEAKER_01]: Wish me luck, please.
• 1:02:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Goodbye.
