• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, here we are after week two and tons of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: injuries to star players, and most of them are on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Thor's team. So we got to get into all this
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: in this week's episode of Fantasy Freaking Football.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: The one that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Hurts the most.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Did every guy on your bench go off? Did you
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: decide to set your top scorer because you had a hunch?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Did your drafting a kicker in the first round strategy
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: not pay off? Then this is the show for you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Now here to help you set your lineups every week,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: it's Eddie and Thor with Fantasy Frickin' Football.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Dude, two years in a row, you have been hit
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: by the injury bug. It sucks. Last year was kind
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of unprecedented. I'd never seen anything like it. It was
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: like your top six guys all went out with season-ending injuries.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: It was pretty brutal. But this year, you've already been
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: hit with a ton of injuries.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sucks. So I lost Dart for the year,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and I had him in two leagues.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: That sucks.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: That's rough.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So that sucks. And then Saquon Barkley's hurt. Zay Flowers
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: is hurt. and then are those guys all on the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: same team yeah and then I also Rico Davido who's
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: my backup on my bench he's hurt yeah so it
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: just sucks like so I had to I'm trying to
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: make moves and, like, it's just really frustrating.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Now, we do have some questions coming up in the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: quarterback spot because, obviously, a lot of quarterbacks went down.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: You had Jaden Daniels going down. You have Caleb Williams
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: going down. Obviously, Jackson Dart. Who's out there available that
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: you like since you're in this spot?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: So I had Kyler Murray in one of my leagues
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that I had Dart, and I picked– and I kept him.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I rode with him because Rasheed White was still available. And, listen,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Rasheed White's not, you know, Jameer Gibbs– But he got
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: more touches than Merritt last week, so they may like
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: him more, and he's a good bench guy. So I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: stuck with Kyler. What does Rasheed White have to do
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: with it?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, sorry.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I should have explained that. I'm sorry. I had Rasheed
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: White on my lineup. I was going to go get
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: another quarterback on the waiver wire, but I stuck with Kyler.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Because I knew if I put in a waiver claim,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I was either one or the other. So my point
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: was I was sticking with Kyler. Sorry, that's my point.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And then at quarterback on the waiver wire, Bryce Young
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: is out there. He's had two really good games. Do
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's going to continue? He's played two pretty
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: terrible defenses. It looks like he's turned a little bit
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: of a corner. Yeah. But do I think he, like
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: right now, Bryce Young and Tyler Shuck lead the league
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in passing. Is that going to continue? I doubt it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But he is playing the Browns this week. They stink.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: They stink.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, that could be a guy you could
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: pick up.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Matt Stafford, you could pick up. I would stay away
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: from the Daniel Joneses of the world.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What?
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: The thing about Daniel Jones is, just fantasy-wise.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And he lost Alec Pierce, too.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: He lost Alec Pierce, but also just fantasy-wise, he'd be
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: able to get you those running yards. He looks slow.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: He looks like he's not the same guy, running-wise, coming
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: off the Achilles injury. So I'd stay away from him.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I'd stay away from Aaron Rodgers.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I mean... Dude, Aaron Rodgers.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He's awful. Why did he come back?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. Yeah. And, you know, DK Metcalf
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: isn't helping him out much.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: No.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I have DK in one league, and seeing him drop
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: passes left and right, I'm like, dude, what is going on?
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: The Steelers just look... Yeah. You know, if you have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: most Steelers at this point, I don't know that I'm playing.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy how bad they are.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very strange. I mean, offensively, you kind of thought...
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: With Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers getting back together, oh,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: maybe there's something there. No, there isn't. Aaron Rodgers looks
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like he's 100. They're not catching passes. They're not running
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the football. I don't know what they are.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It's just terrible. It's just terrible. And I have Metcalf
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: in one of my leagues, like you said, and he stinks.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not good. He stinks. Yeah, so it's been
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: an odd first couple of weeks. Week one, it was
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: all about the offense. Week two, it was kind of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: all about the defense. And now you're having these injuries
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: pop up and things like that. So it's just not great.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It makes fantasy a little bit trickier. That being said,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I went two for three this week in fantasy. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: so one and two of my important leagues and then
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: my OG league, just none of my guys showed up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Caleb went down and didn't have, didn't do anything for me.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You know, with him going down and them not, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: this high-powered Bears offense scoring three points, it killed me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Even when he played, they couldn't score in the game.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: No, yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, he went down late in the fourth. So
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like, you know, that was the reason. And so, yeah,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that was a little bit tough. And then just my
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: guys just didn't have great weeks. So it'll happen. But
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I was happy to get two wins out of that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So not terrible week. But hopefully we figure it out
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: this week and hopefully, you know, the leagues I'm winning
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in are the leagues that I got Josh Allen. And
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so do I, I can't count on Josh Allen to
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: put up 40 points every single week, but that's why
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I drafted him so high. Because I kind of had
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: a feeling he was going to have this kind of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a season. And so I was like, listen, man, if
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I can stack some wins with Josh as red hot
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: as he is, I'm going to hopefully do that. It
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was amazing after the Thursday game, In one league, I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have Josh Allen and Amon Ra. And so I literally
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: had a 65-point lead after two guys in one game.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And so that was a great start.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That was a great start. And I ended up winning
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: by like 50 points. So that was nice. That was nice.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, you don't like Thursday games
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: because you could be done after a Thursday game.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Which is what happened to me. I had DJ Moore
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in one league and he got zero points. I've had
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: three guys in two weeks get hurt in the middle
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: of the game. And two of them got One guy
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: was Zay Flowers, who got 30, which was great.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: But he was on pace for a monster game.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then he didn't play in week two. So
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that screws me. And then Saquon has 12 points through
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: two games. He just looks terrible. I'm very disappointed. I thought,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: for me, it was between him and Derek Henry. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, I think Saquon's going to bounce back.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It's still early. He's playing the Bears. He's playing the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Bears this weekend. Hopefully he plays. He's got a stinger.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he plays.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: The Bears defense is terrible.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: But Derrick Henry's been great. Derrick Henry's been great. So
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: that stinks even more.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it stinks.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Ouch. Well, if you got a situation, you got questions,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: who to start, who to sit, you can ask us
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: any questions you want. You can either email us or
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: hit us up on X, at the show Eddie, at
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the show Thor, and we'll go through your questions every week.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: This question is exactly about the injured quarterback situation. He says,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: got a tough situation. With losing my starting quarterback, Caleb Williams,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: most of the top guys are gone. I need to
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: pick somebody up. My choices are Kyler Murray or Malik Willis.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Kyler Murray because Malik Willis
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: is playing the Chiefs defense. And the Dolphins are terrible.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: And I know they scored points. They didn't do anything
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: against the Niners. They had that one big play at
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the very end of the game, and that's been it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: This is going to be one of those Chiefs games
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: where they just dominate. Nothing ever happens. It's a boring game.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I guess the worry is Kyler getting hurt. One bad
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: hit and he's out again. And then the thing about
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Kyler that you want for fantasy is his legs. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: want him to run a touchdown in or something like that.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think Justin Jefferson is back to being
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson again. So I think they're going to sling
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: it to Jefferson a lot. I'm fine with Kyler Murray
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: right now because I get what– you're right. But I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: can say that about any running quarterback, right?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: But he's just coming off a concussion. That's why.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I still wouldn't start Malik Willis. He's got
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: no receivers. The running game is all they have, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that's barely anything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And I'm wondering, like you say that's all that's available.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. cousins available i mean you know that i
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: don't know that malik willis would be my second choice
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: i don't know who else is out there maybe bryce
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: young is available you know i don't know uh but
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: if those are my between those two guys yeah i'm
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: taking kyler murray.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I would still do kyler over kirk cousins because kirk
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: cousins is playing a tough saints defense too saints defense
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: has looked a lot better so i mean they just
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: beat baltimore in baltimore that's a that's a very underrated
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: win that not a lot of people are talking about
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: because it's so much other stuff going on you know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: For sure This question says, a need to start at flex,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: either between Aaron Jones or Cortland Sutton, half point PPR.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, Aaron Jones is a starting running back there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Mason's down.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: And the Bucs, I mean, Quincy Judkins just ran all
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: over him for the Browns.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: And Aaron Jones last week, who started, had a big game.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I'd go with the running back.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Denver still hasn't done much. I
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: know they got the win. And I know they finally
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: got the ball to Jalen Waddell going, which is nice.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But Corlin Sutton has done nothing yet.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of him. All last year, too, it
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: was kind of like sometimes he'd have a decent game,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: sometimes he wouldn't do anything.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of who he is.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: And if the goal, it seems like the goal for
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: them is to make sure Waddle gets it, then Courtland
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Sutton may be on the outs. Yeah. So you at
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: least are guaranteed you know at running back Aaron Jones
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: is going to get touches, so I would play the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: safe route and go with Aaron Jones.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: And you're going against a defense that hasn't been great
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: in the Bucs.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. Another injury question. Lost my tight end
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard for a few weeks. Should I start TJ
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Hawkinson or Aranda Gadsen?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I would probably go with Hawkinson.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, Gadsen got in the end zone.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: He had two catches. Got in the end zone.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, I get one of them was a touchdown.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Got in the end zone.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: They're playing the Bills in Buffalo. That offense looks terrible
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't trust the Chargers for anything right now, unfortunately.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: If you have a second option in Hawkinson, I'm going
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: with Hawkinson.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: He was kind of forgotten about. I remember at all
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: of our drafts, he went undrafted. And TJ Hawkinson, a
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: couple years ago, was one of the top five guys,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: I would say.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He hasn't been bad. And so they're still throwing him
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the ball. He's got nine targets in two games. But again,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: it was Carson Wentz throwing him the ball. And Kyler
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Murray's better than Carson Wentz. And so I'm just going
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to stick with the fact that I think Hawkinson's going
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to get more opportunities.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't love either option. And until the Chargers
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: show me they fixed the issue. Well, that's the thing, right?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That's why I would probably give just slightly the nod
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to TJ Hawkinson. I mean, that's just shocking how bad
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: they are. I don't understand what's going on. It's just bizarre. Yeah.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: All right, last question. PPR, Jalen Coker or Debo Samuel?
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go with Coker.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's been great.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Listen, Debo, you're playing the... Who are they playing?
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals. You're playing the Cardinals at home. Purdy's looked
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: like a man on a mission the last couple weeks.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: But I'm still going to go with Coker because Bryce
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Young's slinging it all around, and they're playing the Browns.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The only... slight thing I would say is that, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans is banged up again. And so you knew
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that was going to happen. I mean, so that's why
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Debo may get a little bit more action, a little
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: bit more touches, but Coker has been great. And so,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's kind of been better than Ted McMillan
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: so far. And so, uh, yeah, I think I'm going
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to ride the hot hand. And like you said, I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: like the matchup better a little bit. So there you go.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to our starts and sits for
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the week at quarterback. Who's your start?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Dude, I just said it. I think he's on a
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: mission this year. Brock Purdy. I mean, he's walking off
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: the field with, like, after he throws a touchdown pass,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: like it's all business. Whenever you see a quarterback that's
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: doing all business, something's different.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: No cartwheels. Yeah, maybe he.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Thinks that this year is– because they're an older team,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: so maybe he thinks that this is it, this is
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the year, and it's either this or nothing, but he
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: is all business right now, and they're playing the Cardinals,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: who aren't that great. Yeah.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I usually will shy away a little bit from
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Thursday games, but it just sort of depends what matchups
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: are and who we're talking about. I hate them.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Because you either feel like you're going to win or
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: you feel like.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: You're going to lose. Yeah, so my start this week
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: is based on the matchup, though. I'm going to go
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: with Jordan Love against Atlanta. I mean, the Falcons are
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: right up there for the worst team in football.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: You could have said the Browns until they won that game,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but they look decent. And so the Falcons, though, they
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: just look atrocious. And so the Packers had a big
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: come-from-behind win. I think they're going to ride that momentum.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So I like Jordan Love this week as my start.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Who's your sit?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: My sit this week is going up against probably the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: best defense in the league right now in the Vikings,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield. He has one touchdown in two games, one pick,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: but one touchdown.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And looked terrible trying to win that game.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Looked terrible. Amika Agbuka is not doing what he did
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: last year. Chris Godwin looks like a show of himself
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: because he's had so many injuries. So I'd stay away
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: from Baker Mayfield and who they're playing. Listen, the Vikings'
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: defense has been incredible. Look what they did to the Bears.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Flores is going to get a head coaching job. I mean,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: he just is.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: My sit this week is, again, a team. And you
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: look at this quarterback play and you wonder, what happened?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: What is going on? Drake May. Oh, yeah. I'm a
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: little bit. concerned. And I would be if I'm a
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Patriots fan of like, yeah, I know they got the
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: win last week, but I mean, the Steelers just look
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: God awful. It wasn't because of him that they really
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: went out there and got that win. And I'm just,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He just looks different. He's making some
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: odd decisions. The first two games, I have not been impressed.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: So again, I've not given up on Drake May by
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: any means. I'm just like, again, I'm cautious of about
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: certain guys. He just had a rough start so far.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Until I see.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: And Jacksonville's a good team. I know they blew it
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: against the Broncos. But yeah, that's going to be an
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: interesting game. And I'm sure what I'm going to get after.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And they're really not getting Romeo Dobbs as involved as
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And they don't even have A.J. Brown.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: They don't have A.J. Brown.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: So another reason why I'm like, eh, no, I don't
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: like it. Running back, who's your start?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So it was just announced that Jonathan Brooks is going
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: on IRs. Poor guy can't catch a break, man. He's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: having surgery. So Chuba Hubbard at the Browns. He's got
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns in two games. He's been a receiving threat
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: on top of his running, so I'm starting Chuba Hubbard
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: if you have him.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I'm making a trade offer for him in one of
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: our leagues. Whoa. Because I like Chuba too, and the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: guy's not even playing him. You know, he's got like
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: two stud running backs. And so I'm like, oh, maybe
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I can sneakily get Chuba Hubbard on this team. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: I like that pick too. My start is a guy
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you're going to like. Oh, really? My start is... It's
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Cam Scataboo. Oh, Scat. The Scatman.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: The guy who they didn't have in on fourth and
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: two at the five-yard line.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: So again, if you look at that, and the cameras
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: were focused on him, the announcers were talking about it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: You don't have Patrick Card in the game, your giant
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: 300-pound fullback, or Cam Scataboo.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: And you're out of shotgun.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't get what they were doing.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: So there's no way John Harbaugh is going to accept that,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and he's going to realize, like, Now that we don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: have Jackson Dart, we got to rely on our running game.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So Scataboo against the Titans, I like that matchup a lot.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: No, I agree. And the good thing about Harbaugh is
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: over his career, if something like that happens, he'll make
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the change. He won't just stick with what's not working
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: because he's stubborn.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: So I agree.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Who's your sit?
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: My sit is Ja'Cory Krosky-Merritt. Bill?
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Bill.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: One, he lost touches last week to Rasheed White. Two,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: they're playing the Seahawks. Three, no Jaden Daniels. So I
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: picked up Rasheed White. Like I said, if he's there,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: pick him up and just kind of have him as
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a bench guy. I wouldn't start either of them in
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: this game, though.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: My sit this week is 8chan? You can say, wait,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Devon 8chan?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: No. Travis.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: A-Chan?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: A-Chan. Wait, what happened to Etienne? I don't know why
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: it's different. I have eyes, okay? I know how to read.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: We're now pronouncing Travis Etienne, Travis A-Chan? Yeah, I don't
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: get that. This confuses me more than anything I've seen
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, it's real. But I have him, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I still don't know what I'm supposed to call him.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: But whatever, you know who I'm talking about from the Saints,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Travis A-Chan, I guess. So- Here's the thing. Now, this
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: really doesn't make sense. You went out and you spent
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: all this money as a free agent signing to get
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: this guy. And then last week, you have 100-year-old Alvin
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Kamara get more touches than your big free agent signing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And that happened in week one as well, where
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: they kind of gave the rookie or whoever is back.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's backing him up.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I forget what his name is now.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: A ton of touches.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Like, why did you bring in Travis H?
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand what's going on with this Saints
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: running back situation. And because of that and how weird
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: it is, I know they're playing the Raiders. Raiders are
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: playing a little bit better. Yeah, this isn't the Raiders
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: from last year.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Are they a great team?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: No. But they look better.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: They're better.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: They look better. So, yeah, I'm staying away from just
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the entire Saints backfield right now. Wide receiver, who's your start?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: This guy's gotten 19 targets already. in two games, has
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns, going up against a terrible defense. I hate
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Thursday games, but I'm starting Christian Watson.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's become the number one there. Yeah. And with
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Reid going down, too, opens up even more. Yeah, that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: makes sense. My start this week, we talked about it earlier. Yeah,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Coker kind of has been the guy, but at some point,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Ted McMillan is going to be the guy, and he's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: going to have the most targets, most catches, and things
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: like that. I think it's going to be this week.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I like Ted McMillan this week against Cleveland, so he
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: is my start. Who's your sit?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: So I just said that Christian Watson has 19 targets
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: in two games. This guy also has 19 targets in
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: two games, but has no touchdowns and 67 yards receiving.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: DK Metcalf.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Oh. He is awful. Ugly.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He is awful.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: What happened?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's the way Rodgers throws it.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Because not only is he... Yeah, everything's incomplete. He's dropping
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: the ball. He had a couple big drops last few games.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened. And they paid him a
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: lot of money recently, so they stink.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks weird. My sit this week, I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like it because of the injury to the quarterback position
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and who they're playing. Scary Terry. Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaurin, who, again,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: they had him open in the end zone, didn't get
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: a touchdown last week. Take it on the Seahawks. Their
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: defensive backfield is really good. Their defense is just really good.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And so the commanders are in trouble this week. I mean,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you're going back to Marcus Mariota. I don't see it happening.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So I'm sitting Terry this week. Tight end, who's your start?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: This guy had his first 100-yard game since 2024. I'm
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: talking about Travis Kelsey.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Listen. I thought you weren't a believer.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not a believer in Kelsey to last like this
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: the whole season. He's too old. I don't think it's
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: going to happen. He still looks kind of slow, but
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: they're playing the Dolphins. Clearly, Mahomes wants to get him involved.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: He's got 16 targets through two games. I think he'll
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: get a touchdown.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: If he catches the touchdown, will you mouth to yourself,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: that's my husband?
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not married to him. Okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Well, I didn't know. I won't do that. Okay. Okay.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I just want to make sure.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not Taylor Swift.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: My start this week is a guy who has done
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: nothing through two games. He was the stud rookie last year.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And you're wondering what is going on with Colston Loveland. Oh,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: he's a start. Why is he not more involved in
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that Bears offense? Now, you go, you look at that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: offense last week, and nobody did anything because they were
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: so terrible. You can blame the conditions. That's fine. There's
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: no way Ben Johnson is going to allow this to
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: happen again. I don't care if it's Caleb or Tyson Badgett.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I think that they're going to throw the football and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: try to run up the score, okay? And you have
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to involve Colston Loveland.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: You have to at this point. Him and Luther Burden
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: still haven't really done anything.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing, nothing. And so it's been almost shocking and weird.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: And you look at that and go, they've been successful
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: in spite of that. um not last week um but
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: i i like colson loveland this week i think they're
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: gonna force him the ball i don't know if he's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: gonna find the ends of a lot but he's gonna
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: catch a lot of balls this week i just they
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: have to it just doesn't make any sense so colson
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: loves is my start who's your sit a.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Guy that has kind of i wouldn't say bust But
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: he was the highest tight end ever drafted, and he's
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: kind of whatever. I'm talking about Kyle Pitts. He's got
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: one catch for 15 yards on the year. Now, listen,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Michael Penix is coming back on Thursday, but they're playing
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the Packers. It's in Green Bay.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: You're riding a lot on this Thursday game. You better
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: be careful, bro. You're going to watch that game.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: With more intensity. I'm just so defeated from Jackson Dart
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: that I'm just picking random guys. I'm only going Thursday games.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: So I'm sitting Kyle Pitts.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Pitts had that little resurgence last year, and he
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: sort of looked good, and you're like, oh, he finally
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: figured it out.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: One catch for 15 years.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: And then two games, he's got one catch. And I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: know guys drafted him, too, and they're probably just pulling
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the hair out.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's just one of those guys where every year,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: this is the year.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I know, it's weird. My sit this week is tough
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: because he's had a good first couple of games. He's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: looked solid. He's a good player, but I just, I
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: don't like the matchup this week. And I'm talking about
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Tyler Warren from the Colts. He's been great. You know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: he's got the, he found the end zone, but you're
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: taking on the Texans. Texans is another level of defense
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and Texans are 0-2. They're going to come out, I believe,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: and really put it on the Colts. I think Daniel
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Jones is in big trouble. And so I just don't
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: think he's going to have the time.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: What was my team that I told you was going
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to be a disaster this year?
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: The Colts. You're right.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, they almost pulled it out.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Against the Chiefs. You also said that the Jets were
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: going to win last week.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: They were very close.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Did I need to bring that up? Did I need
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: to bring this up? How do you blow that game?
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Did I need to bring this up? You're at home. Yeah,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I was never more invested in the Jets
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: game in my life. How do you blow that game?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They did. They did. And yet they're the Jets. They're
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: always going to find a way.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Don't believe in them yet. Matt LaFleur. Aaron, Jake Glenn
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't know how to coach.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: He coached circles around him.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: It was crazy.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: It was crazy.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like taking a timeout.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Really? Why? I mean, huh?
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: And you're going to take the ball? Yeah, that was wild.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It was so odd. And I felt your pain out
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of everybody, which is hysterical.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, you've got to be. Yeah, I was
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: texting my buddy who's a big Jets fan. And I
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: was like, dude, I bought in.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't. There's still the Jets. Yeah, so there you go.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Those are our starts and sits for the week. Hopefully
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: you go out there and get a win.
