Transcript
- Amanda: What is up, guys? Welcome back to another episode of Let's Talk Football Married Edition, your favorite place for all things fantasy football, NFL hot takes, some questionable opinions, and maybe a little more of drama now that the season's about to kick off. We are your hosts, Amanda and Drew, and we're recording this episode on September 8th. And This is this is the week, guys. This is our mega episode. We're gonna go through so much information and go over every single sit-start matchup you need for week number one because holy shit, football is here, guys. And we are just as excited as the next person to officially have plans pretty much Thursday night and Sunday night and Monday night, and have excuses to say no to to many, many plans. and Wednesday this week, yeah, absolutely. Well. Drew: And Wednesday this week. And Wednesday, yeah. Amanda: Drafts are officially over. You had your big home league draft. Give us a little how do you feel like it went? You've been rating Drew: It went fine. Amanda: other people's drafts in the Patreon. What do you rate your draft? Like fine is not the answer. Rate your draft. Be a little ruthless. A B plus. Drew: probably a B plus. It was it was all right. Yeah, my draft it's my it's my home league draft. we've been doing it for a long time. most of the same guys have been in it forever. So running backs, you I've mentioned it in previous podcasts, running backs go really quickly. and then also like we've got some really good players in it. So a lot of the guys that you're hoping to kind of capture late, even knowing that I you know, we're gonna have to take a couple rounds early. they get taken four or five rounds early. So guys that I'm looking at in the tenth round are going in the sixth, seventh round by some guys. So, you know, it we'll see how it works out. I really liked my draft through the first, you know, five, six picks. And then it's depth the team depth isn't isn't quite there, but the guys I like are also the guys that a lot of the other guys like for depth pieces. So they just tend to get taken quickly and then you get left with the guys that no one wanted, including yourself, to fill out your bench. So bet my bench isn't quite as deep but but my my starters are really good. So I know you also had your league draft with your girls' league. How was that? Amanda: My my girls league. It was good. It was good. I asked you for a draft rating and for the record friends. Drew gave me an A. Not an A plus, but just an A. I really like my team. A minus. A minus. Sorry. Drew: I said A minus. I said A minus closer to an A than a B plus. Amanda: Hey, I'll take it. I'll take it as a you Drew: It was a good team. Amanda: know, a struggle in in my own schooling back in the day. I'll take an A minus for my my draft day board. No, it was a good team. I like it. I had to make some compromises here and there. Some stuff fell to me that I didn't expect to happen. so I went Kenneth Walker fell to me in the end of the end of the first? No, beginning of the second. Yeah, because I was a first pick. So beginning of the second, yeah, two twelve. I know. And he was like, Drew: No, it was the end of the second. Not beginning, the second. You were two twelve. It's ridiculous. Yeah. Amanda: Well Duh. I was like, yeah duh. And I also low key love when we have a few players on our teams that we don't play together on of the same player. Cause it is fun to like have cheering interests on Sundays of like this is a guy that we both can cheer for. We both appreciate when they do well. So it makes it a little bit more fun when we're rotting on the couch all day Sunday watching watching football all day on multiple TVs and multiple screens because we're those people for the record. all right, well I know, I know. Drew: I'm just pumped that football's finally here. I just get get the get on the field and let me watch it and let me just veg all day. Yes. And just start Amanda: Be too emotionally invested in men I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Drew: screaming at the television when Sean McVay gives Blake Coram the ball on the one yard line and I'm happy that it was Kyron Williams touchdown and then all of a sudden I see that it's Blake Coram 'cause they look the fucking same on a football field. And then I get really pissed off and you know want to throw things. Bring that back. Amanda: Devastate my life. I'm ready. I'm ready. Devastate my life. I'm here for the emotional roller coaster that is fantasy football. I could not Drew: For sure. Amanda: agree with you more. all right, before we get into the meat and potatoes here, obviously, like we said, we have our mega episode, so we've got a lot of content to cover, but a little just recap for the season. This week things look different. It is just solo mega episode that you will see tomorrow. no. Today, today. Hello. Drew: Today. Amanda: I don't even know what day it is. I'm lost in the sauce. You'll see that drop today. So you'll be able to have all that information for everything you need all the way through the weekend. Then you'll see another podcast from us on Tuesday. Every Tuesday you'll see a podcast from us that will be reactions from the month from all the weekends of football and a little bit of waiver wire predictions. All of our waiver wire will exclusively be in our Patreon though. So if you haven't become a member yet, stop what you're doing. In the show notes below, go over, join the Patreon right now. We'll then have another episode come out on Thursday that will cover your Thursday night matchup and half of the matchups for Friday or for Sunday. Hello. And then you'll see another drop on Saturday, and that will wrap up every other sit start you need. So three podcasts from us a week. Everything else is gonna live inside of that Patreon. So if you're looking for more individualized sit start lineup or the waiver wire information, then you should join us over there. We are the wedding party for the Patreon because it's a married edition. You get it. Ha ha. We thought it was really funny. So Nonetheless, that is all we've got. So we've got a lot of shit to go over today, but I'm gonna have Drew go over a couple different just tips and reminders when you're setting your lineups for the first time. This is really, really important, even if you've been playing fantasy football for a long time. Stuff that I think people forget how to do. And this is some can sometimes be like low key league winners or week winners when you need to watch some stuff. So give us some tips and reminders when we're setting our lineups, Drew. Drew: yes, so you wanna check on when you're setting your lineups, check the game times or the dates or whatever that your players are playing. So you'd want the players that are playing earlier to be in your positions as opposed to in your flex. So let me explain. Let's say that you have decided you've got, you know, two running back spots, two receiver spots, and two flex spots in your starting lineup. If you Already have this is who I want to play. I've got three running backs and three receivers that I want to play. So your flex will be one running back and one receiver. What you want to look at is when those players are playing their games. So if you have three running backs that you need to fill two running back spots and a flex spot, the players whose games start first are gonna go in your running back spot. So if you have running back, you know, if you've got Kenneth Walker who is playing at one o'clock, that's not for this week, I'm just picking players' names. Kenneth Walker plays at one o'clock and Jonathan Taylor plays at four o'clock on Sunday, and then you've got give me a player's name on Blake Blake Corum and he's start Amanda: Yes. Drew: and his game's a Sunday night game. You'll have Blake Corum in your flex spot and the other two in your running back spot. That way, if after those first round of games something happens to Blake Corham, you can always take him out and you could put a receiver in that spot as opposed to. having to put a running back in that spot. So you always want whoever plays first to be in your positional. And then you can always cause that way in flex, you can if you need to change a running back out for a wide receiver or a tight end or whatever you need to do. Yes, Amanda: Desperate. Yeah, desperate times call for desperate measures, yes. Drew: especially if you're waiting on injury reports and things like that. so you always want whoever whoever's playing first. So that's tip number one. Tip number two is using your IR spot and waivers, right? So If you have an IR spot in your league, which you should because all leagues should have an IR spot, if you have a player that gets hurt, make sure to put them in your IR spot. This is regardless of if you're going to pick somebody up to play. So let's say you have somebody that's injured that is either a bench player or was a starter, but you've got a guy on your bench that you're gonna put in. Put that guy in the put the hurt guy in your IR. Go to the waiver wire and pick somebody up. If you have an empty spot, you need to have it filled. So you know, in a lot of cases, if you've got a guy hurt, you're going to the waiver wire and you're trying to find somebody to replace him. But in the circumstances where you don't need to replace the guy in your starting lineup, find some random shot in the dark guy that maybe breaks out or pick up a backup of a starting Bell Cow running back. That way if something happens on that Sunday, a guy breaks out or a starter gets injured, you already have a guy on your roster. That way you don't have to pay fab dollars or waste your waiver wire priority on picking the guy up. So if tank if you don't have anyone you want to pick up to start and you've got a guy on IR, go get a tank Bigsby. Make sure that you've got Saquon's backup. Go get Kalan Black. Go get CMC's backup, right? Get the guys that have an opportunity that if something happens, they're gonna be at the top of the waiver wire next week. That way you're already getting ahead of it. So that's a way that you want to maximize the spots on your roster. moving forward and also making sure, you know, put those guys in the right spots in your lineup. That way you're not screwed come game time on Sunday night and you don't have a receiver to put in and you can't put a running back in the flex spot. Amanda: Yeah. The only thing I will mention is sometimes and this is something to talk to your commissioner about if you find it happens. One year I played in a league where the IR spot was only for people truly listed on IR. Typically you can put someone not just in IR if they're on IR, but also if they're just ruled out for the game. Right. So I know in my girls league, that IR spot is for any player who's either out for that game. Like let's take George Kittle, let's say he didn't play week one and they listed him out. I could then slip him in him that in that IR spot and then go pick up another player to sub in for him that week. If for some reason you realize that the rules in your league are that IR is only for injured reserves, I'd probably ask your your commissioner about that now and see if you could potentially get that changed. Because it should be able to be a player for even if they miss a week or a couple of weeks and don't fully go on IR, you should be able to capitalize and use that spot. Not have to hold on to a player on your bench who's just out when you have that spot there. So just something to look at too. Drew: Yeah, the only thing that I don't make sure that the commissioners have doubtful players. I I I'm a big proponent of if the player is doubtful, they should be able to go on to IR. I questionable I don't think should 'cause that's half the league. The only thing that I don't Amanda: Agreed. No. That happens all the time. Yes. Half your guys will be questionable after week one. Drew: Yeah, the only thing that I don't do in our league is suspended players are not IR eligible. I don't think they should be. I think if you're gonna Amanda: I agree. Drew: hold on to a guy that's suspended, well, you're just gonna have to eat the spot. so like Amanda: It's kind of like the guy, he's suspended for a reason. So like you have to eat just like he has to eat it. What are you gonna do? Yeah. Drew: Yeah. Yeah, so but that's you know, league preference. Amanda: Absolutely. All right. Well, we are going to dive right into sit starts because again, we've got some we got a lot of content to cover. So, our first game, we have the New England Patriots going to the Seattle Seahawks. This is obviously the Super Bowl matchup from last year. This is your Wednesday night game, first game of the week. And we're gonna talk a little bit about the betting over under. And I'm gonna ask Drew very kindly to explain that to me. Like I'm five years old, because I cannot ever fully get a grasp on the over-under. It like it's just not process in my brain. Drew: Yeah, so there's two things you want to look at and and I'll explain why they're relevant to us as a fantasy show. But the betting line is Seattle minus three and a half. So what that means is Seattle is favored by three and a half points by Vegas. So they're expecting Sea the Seahawks to win. And the over-under is forty-four and a half points. That is important because that is the total amount of points that Vegas expects the game that there to be in the game. So forty-four and a half points divided by Two, you know, the three and a half is in there, but effectively they're expecting the game to be, you know, twenty four to twenty-one or it somewhere in that range. That's what they're expecting. So that's scoring opportunities, right? So when we talk about the over-under in all of these games, anything over fifty is a really good over under. You definitely want to play players from the those games. Anything under like a forty is atrocious. So those are games where there's not a lot of points to be had. There's probably not a lot of fantasy value if there's not a lot of points. And then anything in between, obviously it's a sliding scale, right? So the higher the overunder, the more exciting the game is from a, you know, fantasy standpoint. There should be more points to be had fantasy wise as well. So they are important when it comes to fantasy. and then like I said, 44 and a half, they're expecting this to be you know, a decent scoring game, not super high, but not super low. and then Seattle being favored there means that the implied point total for New England is about twenty one points. so anyway, let's get into who we would play and who we wouldn't play. Do you understand everything that I went over? Okay. Amanda: Yes. However, my only question then would be the betting line being minus three and a half, meaning Seattle's favored. Is three and a half a lot? Like is that like a big discrepancy of a win? Or it's pretty close? 'Cause like that doesn't feel like Drew: Mm no, it's not a it's Amanda: a big one to me. Drew: it's not a massive line. it's a little bit higher than what I would expect in this game, with two good teams. I I wouldn't imagine this would be a pick'em, but like a big one is you know, f anything four points and above is pretty big. I think there's one one of them seven this week. Like that's pretty big. But Amanda: Whoa. Drew: NFL games don't tend to be massive blowouts often. Like a lot Amanda: No. Drew: of times the games come down to like a possession at the end. Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: Or a garbage time touchdown brings it back within, you know, four points or five points. So, it it's not a massive line, no. Amanda: Okay. Okay. All right. Well let's get into some no brainer starts of the week here. Obviously, again, this is week number one. So some of these guys you drafted to play them. So you're playing them. And and Drew: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Amanda: I know like we can go deeper into matchups later down the line once we start to see these players develop. But someone like Drake May, you're you're starting him. There's really no questions asked about that. Same thing like a guy like AJ Brown, he's going in your lineup, lock and load, start him. in my opinion Drew: Sure. Amanda: I I would list Ramondre Stevenson as a start this week. I think that's a good one. Obviously, we do know Trevion Henderson's health is questionable. We don't know fully if he's going to play, but even if he does, you're gonna see a little bit more of Ramondre early in this season. So to me, he's a start, and Ramondre would be a sit for me, week number one, out of pure caution. Ramondre start. Drew: Reverse that. You just said that backwards. Ramondre would be a start. Yep. Amanda: Trevion sit. Did I say hey Ramondre? Huh. Hello. Drew: You did it. Yeah, you just said it backwards. Yeah. Ramon yeah, Ramondre I have as a start as well. Amanda: Yes. Drew: Trevion I I'm not looking to start him. He's in a very odd range where you probably drafted him with enough draft capital that you're not gonna be able to sit him. It depends on your league, obviously. You know, eight ten team, you probably can sit him. Twelve team, fourteen team, you probably can't if he plays, but you know, I'm looking at like Quentin Johnston, if you could play him in the flex Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: over playing a Trevion or Jordan Mason from the Vikings. He's a later Jordan Mason's a later round guy that you could Amanda: I was gonna say, would you put him in his R B? Mm-hmm. Drew: end up having, you know, both of him and Trevion and only need to play one. I would play Jordan Mason over Trevion. The the health, you're playing a good, you know, what we think is a good defense. They were a good defense last year, Seattle was. So I'm not trying to play Trayvon if he if he plays, but It's not the end of the world if you have to. He's just one of those weird Amanda: Yeah. I just would tape your expectations this week because obviously he is dealing with injury and they're Drew: Certainly. Amanda: probably gonna hold him back a little bit. How about I I have Romeo Dubbs is a full sit. He probably got a deep deeper in drafts. I'm not gonna take a risk on that early in the season. I'm gonna wait for that to develop. Same with Drew: No. Amanda: Hunter Henry. He's not a conversation right now. Drew: Not this week. Amanda: moving to the Seattle, again, some easy no brainers here. You're you're sitting down. Sam Darnold, you shouldn't have drafted him in general. Jadarian Price is an easy, is an easy go ahead start. JSN is an easy go ahead start. Drew: Yep. Yep. Amanda: Rashid Shaheed would not be an option unless you're in a deeper in a deeper league, like a four team team league, he might be a consideration. Drew: That's the only other player on Seattle. Obviously you're playing Price and JSN. Rash Shahid's the only other one that look if you need a boomer bust guy, he's a possibility. Like he didn't have very much fantasy value in the Super Bowl last year, when these two teams played. However, I think Rashid Shahid will be much more involved this season. He was traded real late in the season last year, right right by the deadline. You you gotta learn a new playbook, you've got to get incorporated into the offense. All that stuff's really hard to do on the fly. And Cooper Cup's a year older. I Shaheed should be the number two target in this offense and his big playability is great. So I don't mind playing him. Honestly, I might play him over Travion this week just with the injury concerns that Trayvion has. That's that's a shot that I think I'm willing to take. Amanda: Yeah. I mean, even when we look at his stats from last year, he e when he did rev up with the team and he started getting targeted and he started being decently fantasy productive. And again, he is that more boomer bust style player. Obviously it's week number one. You to play him on a Wednesday. So you don't get any options to see what happens. But in my opinion, yeah, a risky, a risky start. But a fourteen team league, that's a no brainer to I think it's a good option for a deeper league. Drew: Yeah, and he might be available even in some t Amanda: huh. Drew: you know, twelve team leagues. He he's also a guy so I took a late round flyer on him and I think both of my leagues, but if he's available and I've got like an Alec Pierce and I don't have another guy playing in the first game of the year, I probably pick up Shaheed and throw him in my lineup. One, because I want to root for somebody the first game of the year, just 'cause it's exciting. And two, because, you know, with some of these guys' injury concerns like an Alec Pierce, I think, you know, Shaheed one long touchdown. on opening night. That's exciting. I might be a little interested in that, but I'm not forcing him in my lineup though. Amanda: I might like it. I like it. All right, we're gonna move on to No, no, no, no, absolutely. All right, we're gonna move on to San Francisco 49ers versus the Los Angeles Hello LA Rams. We're just gonna shorten that there. So San Fran is going to LA. This is the Thursday Drew: Australia. Amanda: n shit, they're going to Australia. I forgot they're going, they're going to the down under. Down under. Drew: This is the Australia game. Down under? Yep. Amanda: all right, so the betting line on this is minus three and a half in the Rams favor and the overunder is forty eight point five. So we saw an increase in the over under, which means this will be a higher point scoring game. See, I did understand what you were telling me. how much do you feel like international games impact the players productivity in the games? Drew: Mm, this one I wouldn't worry about it because it's week one and both those teams have been there for quite some time. They flew out there really early, so I I wouldn't worry about it this week. Amanda: Okay. All right. Yeah, this is the first game in Australia, right? Ever? NFL's first time in Australia. All right. Love to see Drew: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Amanda: it. All right. So let's go through some new brain ass here. well, I guess we'll start with just we'll start with the San Francisco Brock Purdy. I like him this week. I think he's a good start this week. Mm hmm. Drew: Yeah, I think it's I think it's a sneaky start. All the intentions been on the Rams defense this offseason. They got Miles Garrett, Aaron Donald's coming back. They got McDuffie, the corner from the Chiefs for a first round pick. Look, the Rams defense is gonna be great, but Mac Jones put up some seriously good numbers against the Rams in the two starts he had last year. he was QB six and QB nine, and that's Mac Jones. And Brock Purdy should be a better quarterback. Obviously, he's the starter. I I think he is a sneaky start and there's a few guys that I know you and I both, you know, don't like this week that are typical starters. So like would you take Brock Purdy or would you play I'll just make it hard for you, Trevor Lawrence against Cleveland? Amanda: no, I'd still go T Law over Brock Purdy, in my opinion. Yeah. I'm Drew: See see I'd take I'd take Purdy there. Amanda: not really worried that much about yes, like Cleveland's defense is Cleveland defense. I'm still dead set on T Law, but Drew: Mm. Amanda: that's me. Drew: Okay. so how about bonex? Amanda: Yeah, that was an interesting one 'cause they play Drew: Kansas City. Amanda: Kansas City. Yeah. So I I would probably favor Brock Purdy over over Bonex this week. Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: I looked at like how about Purdy or Love? Green Bay plays Minnesota Vikings. Those are deeper yeah, okay. I was thinking Drew: Party. Yep, party. Amanda: like i if you have purdy, you might have won a two quarterback strategy because you could get purdy pretty late. So you might have taken another guy just to kind of pad yourself. So I yeah. Drew: Correct. certainly. Yeah. If you have Purdy and you've got, you know, first of all, if you've got Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams, Amanda: God, no brainers, yes. Drew: Josh Allen, you shouldn't have Brock Purdy on your roster. So that was you just shouldn't because you should ha you have those guys. But like the guys that he would have been drafted with, you know, maybe T Law, Baker, Matt Stafford, Kyler. Amanda: I actually though think Baker's a better start over Purdy this week. Drew: I think Baker's a better start, but I would play him above Trevor Lawrence. I would play him above Kyler and Bo Nicks and Jordan Love. I think he's a sneaky good start this week. Amanda: All right. All right. All right. Well, some Brock Purdy controversy there. or dialogue, let's say. So CMC, i he plays, he's an auto start. Okay. He he's gonna if he plays, you put him in your lineup and just trust the plot. Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: If he doesn't play, obviously you don't play him and then that's the only reason you're gonna play the backup of black. That would be the only. You still wouldn't? Okay. Drew: I I wouldn't. No, yeah. Eve even if yeah, I if if CMC's out, I'm not playing Kalon Black. I haven't seen him play in the NFL. I don't know if he's very good and you should have better options. Amanda: You have better options. Yes, correct. Yeah. Even like a Jordan Mason again, like we said, that would be a fine option ahead of Kalon Black. Drew: Not to mention that I don't know that Kalon Black would get the entire load if CMC's out. So Amanda: True, true. Yeah yeah. Drew: no thank you. Amanda: Okay, how about Mike Evans? Drew: you start him if he plays. Amanda: You start him if he plays. I you drafted him to start him. That's what I put in my notes. It's like you draft you spent enough draft capital on the dude. If you liked him enough, y you gotta start him week number one. Deshaun Sherbling would not be a a week one start for me. I would wait to see how he develops. That's just me. Drew: I'd I I I'd be interested to see how what's his target share, what's his snap Amanda: Correct. Drew: percentage. I just I don't know if this is the week that I want to figure that out and you didn't draft him to to to start him. You Amanda: No. You didn't draft him to start him. No. Drew: got him in the tenth round or later. He he just shouldn't need to be in your lineup. Debo, kind of the same thing. Amanda: Correct. Same thing. Drew: I am interested in a Debo stream if Mike Evans is out. Or or if CMC is out. So if either one of those two is out, I would look at Debo picking up a little bit more of the of the of the workload. so he's a possibility, but by no means am I forcing him in my lineup. That's a if Evans is out or if C C is out, I could look at him as a flex play option. Amanda: Yeah. So i George Kittle, in my opinion, even if he does play, he's gonna be in a snap count early. I wouldn't force him in my lineup week one. Scared to death. Mm-hmm. Drew: Yeah, scared to death. Honestly, and I have I have him in both my leagues. it's just the way the drafts fell. And I I I hope he doesn't play. I hope they announce it Amanda: Yeah, it's easier. Drew: beforehand because I would like to put him in the IR spot. And if if he is out, I will pick up Jake Tonges and I will play Jake Tonges because the Rams give up points to the tight end position, specifically San Francisco last year did great against it. So I love the play. However, I don't want 50% snap share from George Kittle and fifty percent snap share from Jake Tonges and then get some amalgamation of the two because if they combine for five for eighty in a touchdown, well that's great for one of but if you split that in half, it it's not that good. And if you don't have the guy that scores the touchdown, I just if Kittle plays, I'm Amanda: You're pissed. Last year when Kittle came back for that one game, well he got hurt or something, he came back, he gooseagged everybody 'cause all he was Drew: Yeah. Amanda: was a tight end pass block. He just blocked. That's it. And he didn't actually Drew: Yeah. Amanda: get involved in passes. They just wanted to get him out there. Drew: Unless they come out and say George is playing and he does not have a snap count. If they explicitly come out and say that, I'll I'll put him in my lineups. If they don't say that, even if they say, he'll be on a bit of a pitch count snap count, then I'm gonna look at picking up a waiver tight end, like a Juwan Johnson who's got a good matchup this week, who's probably hasn't been drafted by a lot of people, and I'd I'd play him. Amanda: Chicka conqua? Drew: who does Chick play this week? Amanda: to cause for dramatic effect. Drew: What no Philly absolutely not. No. No. Amanda: Huh? All right. Drew: Against Philly, no. You'd be looking at guys like Juwan Johnson. Who else could possibly be on the waivers? You're not getting any of those guys. Maybe a Dalton can that's not a good option. I mean it's not a good week for streaming tight ends. No, if you're g if I if I'm no, Amanda: There's not a lot of options. No. Dalton Schultz maybe? Don't aren't Buffalo weak against the tight end? Is it? Drew: if I'm going down to Dalton Schultz, I'm just gonna play George Kittle. Yeah, that's too Amanda: Interesting. Drew: far down. Amanda: Okay. All right. All right. That's fine. All right. Let's move on. to the next team of the Rams. So again, some no-brainers. Kevin Williams, you're throwing him in your lineup, Puka Nakua, Devontae Adams. We don't need to talk about those guys. Lock, load, go for it. I don't really think either of the tight ends are relevant for the Rams to have any decorum on. Quorum is that flex guy, right? So like If you are worried about a Trevion Henderson and you feel like maybe a quorum's at least gonna get fifty percent of the work, you're worried that Trevion's not going to get that much a load week number one and you're worried about that, you could look at a quorum in instead of that. I I wouldn't go down the quorum rabbit hole. It really just depends on who gets the touchdowns. Are if are they gonna go back to that like they do a he does a series, series, series, series? We don't know. Drew: ser every other series. Yeah. Amanda: We don't know. Drew: I'm not trying to play him when week one until I see that that's what they're gonna do. you know if if you have to play him, you have to play him. If you if it's because you've got an injury on your roster, that's not a bad guy to put in because hook he's got a floor, he's got a higher floor than most of your bench players would have, but I'm not gonna try to force him in my lineup over a a a a starting running back or a guy that Amanda: No. Drew: I think has the ability to take over more of the Lions share. so I'm I you I'm playing both Carolina guys over him. so not super interested in that. I am interested in Matthew Stafford this week. I think you fire him up, throw him in your lineup. He dominated San Amanda: Correct. That was my yeah, that was my last one. Drew: Francisco last year, so he should be on your lineup this week. Amanda: Yeah, and we know that Puka Nakua for for right now is there. We know there's a suspension that's looming over his head, but he was set to play in week number one. So we know that they have all their offensive weapons hot and heavy for them. Next up we have the Chicago Bear Bears going to the Carolina Panthers. This is our first Sunday game. The betting line is Chicago negative two point five, and the over under is 47. So again, that's Chicago's favored. Drew: Yep. So Chicago's favored by two and a half points. Amanda: And a fairly high over under as well. So this Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: should be a a decent game here. from a Chicago standpoint, you you drafted Caleb Williams to play and put him in. Same thing with DeAndre Swift. Obviously, watch injury. Him and Menongai are both banged up. I'm starting Swift. I'm not interested in going Manongai week one, though. Drew: No, they were both back at practice. Amanda: Okay. Okay. So then we're likely gonna see both of them. I think there's plenty of other guys you could flex over Manongai if you were interested. I would definitely start DeAndre Swift, though. Luther Burden, Roma Dunze. Luther Burden's i has he been fully cleared to come back for week one? Okay. Okay. Drew: Yeah, he he's been practicing. So he'll he'll be out there and you're gonna start him. Rome did not practice on Monday Amanda: Mm. Drew: this week. So keep an eye out on that. If it looks like he's gonna play and he's actually healthy, I I'm playing him 'cause it's a good matchup. so both are in there as long as they're healthy for sure. And obviously Colston Loveland is is in there as well. Amanda: Locked and loaded. Yeah. Drew: Yeah, so I outside of watching an injury report, I don't think there's anything to talk about on the Chicago Bears side. The Carolina side is where it gets a a little bit of discussion point. Bryce Young's out, don't worry about him, probably shouldn't be on anybody's roster anyway. Receiver position, Ted McMillan, obviously you're playing him, and that's probably it. Jalen Coker, let's see how involved he is. Jonathan Brooks and Chuba Hubbard. You playing one of them, you playing both of What do you think? Amanda: See, I I in my opinion, I would look at the safer bet of Chuba Hubbard. I would put Chuba Hubbard in. I would look at playing him. I I I'm not gonna play Brooks until after I see what it all looks like. I mean, you're assuming fifty fifty split. That's what you're going to assume. We've never seen what Jonathan Brooks took like one snap in the NFL last year before he got hurt again? Or did he even take a snap in the NFL when he got before he got hurt? Drew: I think he got hurt in training camp. Amanda: Okay. So like I I haven't seen him play yet in the NFL. I I would preference Chuba, I would not take the shot on Jonathan Brooks, but that's just me. Drew: I mean, it's a coin flip. Either one could get more work. It's supposed to be fifty-fifty. I'm fine playing either one. It's Chicago's defense is not that good. they didn't really add a whole lot of pieces this offseason, so it should just be a middle of the road to twenty-something ranked defense. I think you'll be able to run on them. Honestly, it's touchdown. If s if if the guy Amanda: Touchdown to Pan. Drew: you play scores, you're gonna be happy. If they don't, you're probably not, because they're gonna be six, seven points and If they do, you're gonna be at twelve points. So I I'm I'm also I'm gonna play either one of them over Trayvon with the injury concerns, assuming Amanda: Agreed. Drew: that Brooks or Hubbard is healthy. you know, they're both listed as questionable, but they should both be fine. I'll play a Jordan Mason over both of these guys, however, because I think Jordan Mason's gonna get more work than the fifty the I I think he's more than fifty fifty. so Yeah, th those are kind of the guys Amanda: I think that was a question. Drew: you're thinking about. Amanda: I have in our next game and I'll I'll bring it up now and then I'll announce the game, but like would you go down the Gainwell rabbit hole with a good Cincinnati matchup? It's a hard one. Gainwell over Henderson, if you were worried about a Henderson issue held back a little bit. Drew: Gainwell Yeah, Gainwell over Henderson, because the matchup's better in my opinion. And it sounds disgusting. I I think it also depends on the league you're in. If you're in a PPR league, it's definitely Gainwell. If you're half PPR, Amanda: Gainwell over Brooks are I know. Yeah. Gainwell. Mm-hmm. Drew: it's a bit of a coin flip. If you're in a standard lead, I would take Henderson over Gainwell. Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: Yeah, but I think I'm taking both of these guys over Kenny Gainwell. Amanda: Got it. Okay. All right. Well, that'll move us right into our next game, which is Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Cincinnati Bengals. the Betty line is Cincinnati minus three and a half. And the over-under is fifty. I'm gonna get it. Don't worry. And the over-under is fifty point five. So high, highest points we've said so far. I like this game. I'm excited for this game. Yep. Cincinnati. there we go. Okay, Cincinnati favored. Did I say I said negative and then I knew it sounded bad? Drew: Cincinnati favored by three and a half. That's what the that's what the negative is. Cincinnati's favored by three and a half. You just said minus and negative, but no. Cincinnati favored. Yeah, Cincinnati favored by three and a half. Amanda: I knew it sounded wrong. Okay, listen, your girl likes to make bets, but she bets on vibes. She doesn't really understand how to read the books, okay? but she wins some bets because of it. All right, we're gonna dump jump into Tampa Bay here first. I love a Baker Mayfield start this week. I already said Baker over Purdy, in my opinion. this is a great Drew: Yeah, I would agree. Amanda: defensive matchup for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. First, great first game back for them too. Bucky Irvine, locked and loaded if he's healthy. Drew: Yeah, if he's healthy you play him. Amanda: Mm-hmm. Same with Emeka Buka. You start him if he's healthy. I Chris Godwin is a no-brainer start as a flex option if you have him. And if Drew: Yeah, I think he's a great I think he's a great play this week. flex option. Amanda: Eggbuka for some reason ends up not playing due to turf toe, then even better. Drew: He's an even better play. Mm-hmm. Amanda: Yep. that's the only wide receivers I'm considering there. We we talked a little bit about Kenny Gainwell. See, I I like him. I like him as a flex option this week. You'd have to be, I mean, again, it's week number one. So you you probably have your starters. If you have a strong enough wide receiver room, I'm probably not gonna go down the rabbit hole of Kenny Gainwell. But if you don't have a super duper strong wide receiver room and you're wondering and you fill fill that with a little bit more running backs, I think Kenny Gainwell is a P PR machine and I I think he's gonna be used quite a bit to ensure Bucky stays healthy. That's my my opinion. Drew: Yeah. I I'm yeah, t t he's gonna play for sure. To me, he is a guy that if I have a healthy lineup, I'm not playing him because I you didn't draft him to have to play him unless you're in a super large league, like a sixteen team. Kenny's not a starter on your fantasy team, he's a bench player. if I have an injury, I'm fine putting him in the flex and playing him or running back and playing him. I I'm just I'm not gonna force him into my lineup because he's not At this point we don't know what his role is and I don't think his role's big enough to be forced into lineups. but he he he's a he's a guy that I could put in if I if I have an injury concern with one of these other players. then then yes, I would put him in. Amanda: Yeah. For the Cincinnati Bengals, you just start everyone relevant. You start Joe Burrow, you start Jace Brown, you start Jamar Chase, you start T. Higgins, and that ends the list there. You just start all. Start all. Start all. Go for it. Have some fun. All right. Drew: End of list. Yep. A hundred percent. Yep. Yep, that's a pretty easy one. Amanda: Yeah. New Orleans Saint versus the Detroit Lions. So the Saints are going to the Lions. I I got it. I got it. Don't worry. Betty Drew: And Amanda: Line is Detroit winning by seven. Favorite. Drew: Favored. They the game hasn't been played. They haven't won yet. Amanda: Listen, I got so nervous when you asked me because I blacked it out. Favored by seven, and the over-under is 49.5. Drew: Detroit favorite seven. Yeah. Another really good over-under. should be a higher scoring game. I I'm really excited about this one because I'm excited about the Saints offense this year. Kellen Amanda: Yes. Drew: Moore in year two, Tyler Shuck in year two. I'm real excited about that. And this is New Orleans plays quick. DeKellen Moore teams always play quick. They get they are year after year Kellen Moore offenses. consistently run the most plays of any other team in the NFL. So it's a very fast offense, but that also means that Detroit is going to be on having they're going to have the ability to run more plays because New Orleans does, right? When one team runs more plays and runs quicker, that means the other team's going to have the ball for a little bit more time. so I'm I'm excited about this one. I'm not ready to play Shuck yet. I I think it's two early he's sh Amanda: No, but he's on my I put on my notes like he's a guy I watch. Like week number one, I'm locked in to see what happens. Drew: Yes. Travis Echen Jr., you're playing him. Alvin Kamara, do not play him. He's done. Chris Olave, you play him. And so yeah, so you're E Echen Jr., you're Chris Alave for sure. And the only other player that I might play for the Saints is Juwan Johnson. Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: And that's if I've got a tight end with a bad matchup this week. Juwan's you know, I think he's gonna be very involved this year, but we still don't know. But if I've got George Kittle and he's on a snap count. I like Juwan Johnson more this week. Jake Ferguson against the Giants. I like Juwan Johnson more this week. Dalton Kincaid, I like Juwan Johnson more this week. Mark Andrews, I like Juwan Johnson more this week. Harold Fannon. I Amanda: I think you drafted too much of him to not play him this week. Drew: Yeah, if you have Fannon, you probably drafted him too high, so you you probably just need to play him. but I think that I would like Jawan Johnson more than I would like Fannon this week. I also and biased against any Browns players because I'm a Browns fan and their quarterbacks suck and I hate the franchise sometimes. So, you know, don't listen to me about the Browns too much 'cause I'll end up being way too pessimistic, but Amanda: Moving on. the Detroit Lions there's obviously you're you're playing Jameer Gibbs, you're playing Amon Ra, you're playing Jamison Williams, and you drafted Sam Laporta far too high to set him down, so you're playing Sam Laporta. Drew: It's a good it's a good matchup too. Amanda: It is a good matchup. The only person I have is is Jared Goff. How do you feel about Jared Goff? Will you play him? Because of the Drew: Play Play Yep. Amanda: fast pace, you think that it's gonna be a high scoring game. Pocket passer, he's Drew: It's great matchup. you're Amanda: gonna do enough for you as a quarterback. Drew: Yep, in Detroit. You're in a dome, week one. You've got a great offense. You should have the ball have more more plays run this game than probably any other because the other team runs so many plays as well. I think it's a smash play myself. And the Saints don't have a scary defense. Amanda: So Jared Goff or Baker Mayfield? Drew: Jerig. Amanda: see I d I disagree. I would play Baker Mayfield, but Drew: Nope, Jared Goff. Look at the weapons. So I I see both of those players pretty much the same. Eggbuka's Amanda: Whatever. Yeah, look at the I I get the weapons, but also Drew: coming off a toe injury. Godwin's nearing 30 years old and it's coming off of a bunch of injuries. McMillan may or may not play outside. Bucky Irving's coming off injury. We still don't know if he's fully healthy. And Kate Otten at tight end. Well, I'll take Lapora who's gonna play, Gibbs out of the backfield, Jamison Williams, Amon Raw. No, it's golf all day long. Amanda: All right. All right. Agree to disagree. moving over to Buffalo Bill Bills, visiting the Texan Texan I got nervous. Houst Drew: Just love words today, huh? Amanda: Houston, Texans. the betting line. Drew: Buffalo Bills visiting the Houston Texans. Buffalo Amanda: Yellow. Drew: is favored on the road by one and a half, which is a bit of a shock to me. That's gotta be because they don't believe in CJ Stroud. Amanda: Well, a hundred percent. And the overunder is forty four point five. I mean, that's the only reason is because I don't believe I mean, it's a tough defense from a Texan standpoint for the Bills, but Drew: Yeah, that's that's a pretty decent overunder considering it's Houston's defense. normally you're gonna see a lot of their games right around the forty mark, I would imagine, 'cause their Amanda: Mm. Drew: defense is so good and their offense isn't that good unless CJ plays like he did a couple of years ago. And it's also Amanda: Yeah, he has potential. Drew: one of the lower Buffalo Bill lines you're gonna see in my opinion, 'cause they're normally up in the higher forties. Amanda: Correct, correct. Which gives us some some conversation here. Josh Allen, auto start. James Cook, auto start. The only person I had a question on i is is DJ Moore. Are we I mean, I know it's week number one, so you're just trusting the plot. It could be great. Drew says Drew: You play You play him. Amanda: you play him. Would you ever consider looking at like, you know, Mike Evans, DJ Moore? They were they're ranked similarly. Who are you playing? DJ Moore? Okay. What about Drew: I play both of I I get th I know they're ranked similarly, but they're they were draft again, we're we're week one, so they're they were drafted so high. No, they're j they're Amanda: Yeah. They're drafted too a w far away from each other. Yeah. Or too close to each other. Drew: drafted too high in the draft to to th you wouldn't be com you know, going against those two guys. It would be a DJ Moore versus a Dejan Stribling and I'm playing DJ Moore, right? Amanda: How about a not playing a Mecca Buka Godwin versus Moore? Drew: if at Buca's out, I play Chris Godwin 'cause it's Amanda: Okay. Drew: the defense makes a difference there. Amanda: Yeah, I agree. I agree. Dalton Kincaid, you ruled him as a I would love to stream someone else option if possible. obviously again, like you might not have the roster spots for that. We just drafted. If you can't put somebody on injured reserve, then you just kind of gotta trust the plot with Dalton Kincaid, but it's a bad matchup, just for the record. Drew: Yeah, just don't have high expectations. If you have the ability to pick up Joan Johnson and play him over Kincaid this week, I probably would. I also probably would have Joan Johnson over Dalton Kincaid just in general for the year. Amanda: In general. I mean, I like Jon Johnson until I mean maybe when Tyson comes back that might be a different conversation, but I think he's gonna be used so much in the offense with Tyson being out right now too. Drew: Yeah, Khalil Shakir is the only other one that is Amanda: yeah. I Drew: more of a question mark. Looking you you you drafted DJ Moore, you're gonna play DJ Moore. Khalil Shakir is the only one that was drafted low enough to probably not be in lineups. again, I'm not trying to force him into a lineup this week. It's not a good matchup. You're playing against the Texans, he'll probably have if he doesn't score a touchdown, he'll have six to eight points. It's not good enough. So on to the Texans, CJ Stroud probably not on a lineup, and if he is or on a team, and if he is Don't start him. David Montgomery, you fire him up and you play him. Nico Collins, you play him, and that is where I see the end of the list. What do you th what do you think? Amanda: I hundred percent agree with you on all of that. I don't see anyone else being forced into your lineup. You wanna wait to see what Kaisan Booty looks like in that offense and you don't wanna try to fuck around and find out week number one. Drew: Wo Woody Marks is a guy that you need to pay attention. How much does he play compared to Montgomery? but I'm not trying to force him in a lineup. Kashawn Booty is a guy that is a perfect pickup if he is not on a roster right now and you have a spot because the IR or you drafted a second quarterback and you have Josh Allen on your team, which is stupid, drop the second quarterback, go pick up Keyshawn Booty. He should be on rosters. He is the one that has the ability to really jump and go way past his ADP because he was basically left for dead because he was traded so late. Higgins is out. He is their wide receiver too. I think he has the ability to have a really good season if CJ Stroud plays even halfway decent this year. So he should be on people's radars. just, you know, don't drop. a really good player for him, but like I I would I would drop definitely second quarterbacks on rosters. If you've got more than one defense, more than one kicker, drop them. Yeah. Amanda: Drop it. Even if you have two like midline tight end options where like you've got a Kincaid and a Juwan Johnson, just fucking drop one and then Drew: Drop one. Yeah. Amanda: go pick up Kayshawn Booty and just have him sitting there. Again, like worst case scenario, you just get rid of him if it doesn't actually pan out. Best case scenario, you have gold that's on your bench now and not a useless second tight end. Like don't worry about that. what if my tight end gets hurt? There's always a streaming tight end. It's okay. Not a big deal. all right, moving on to our next game, which is the Baltimore Ravens versus the Indianapolis Colts. The betting line is Baltimore favored by three. And Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: the overunder is 47.5. See, if maybe if I slow down, my brain won't get really confused with what I'm trying to say. all right, for Baltimore, some no brainers. Lamar, Derek Henry, Zay Flowers, fire them all up, put them in your lineup. To me, really, the list ends there. Unless Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: you only have Mark Andrews, there's no other option to stream a tight end and you need to throw Mark Andrews into your lineup, then okay, fine. Drew: Yeah. Yeah, it's Amanda: I just don't love it, but I don't love Mark Andrews, but Drew: not I I I'm excited for Mark Andrews this year. I think he's going to play much better than people think. He got in a really bad car accident in preseason last year. Like Amanda: I actually did not know that. Drew: yeah. It was it was during training camp. He and his family got in a car accident. It was like really bad. So he had to work back from that just to play last year. He there's no more likely it's a different offense. He he's not as old as people think he is compared to some of these I mean, he's not Travis Kelsey's a lot older and people still think Amanda: Yeah. Drew: he's got it and he doesn't. But yeah, I don't mind him. If I've got Mark Andrews, I'm just playing him. unless you've got, you know, two tight ends. If I've got Amanda: An option, yeah. Drew: yeah, if I've got Dallas Goddard and Mark Andrews, then I play Dallas Goddard. So like if you double tapped some of these late round tight ends, some guys I would play above him, I would play Dallas Goddard this week above him. him and Juwan or or a coin flip, pick which one you want. Travis Kelsey at Denver. I think I'd probably play Mark Andrews at that point. Amanda: Yeah, I mean, in my opinion, you don't have both of those guys. Kelsey was drafted too early in the draft to take I I don't think you have both of all right, over into the Colts. I Jonathan Drew: Yeah. All right. Yep. Amanda: Taylor and Tyler Warren. Locked, loaded, done. you shouldn't Drew: Yep. Amanda: have Daniel Jones on your team. We've got conversations for the wide receiver room, which is Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and I mean, Keenan Allen likely wasn't drafted at all, but he's part of the conversation, not because I think you should play him, but because he might take targets from the other guys. So Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, go. Drew: If Josh Jones is healthy, I play him. Amanda: Okay. If Alec Pierce is healthy do play. Why? Drew: Sim No. Not week one. Because it's too late for him to come back. He just started practicing less than a week ago. I think the ramp up time I can't imagine he's out there for enough snaps to where like he could catch a deep ball and catch a touchdown and you know I I'll I'll you know shit, I should have played him. But I don't think he's gonna be a nine target guy like I think people want him to become this year as their number one. Josh Downs is the middle of the field, the chain mover. I I think this game's gonna be a lot of Jonathan Taylor, a lot of Tyler Warren, short routes and a lot of of short stuff to Josh Downs with a little bit of Keenan Allen thrown in there. I don't think Alec Pierce is on the field a ton this game, at least enough to be super impactful. I could be wrong. I'm willing to be wrong on this player this week. Also, he dropped pretty far in drafts. I've got him on a couple rosters I based on where I got him, I don't need to play him, so I'm not gonna play him. Amanda: No, me, I have him too, and I'm the same way. Like I don't need to play him week number one. if you need to, I I I slightly disagree. I it he was involved with the team last year. I have a feeling that he'll be just fine walking into week number one, but yeah, temper temper your expectations and we shall see. If you don't if you don't need to play Drew: Yeah, let me look here. Amanda: him, don't play him. Drew: I do not have him in my lineup. I have it's not that one that I've got him. Just gotta give you a an example. Amanda: Little context. Drew: Yeah, so I've got Parker Washington and Amanda: That tracks. Drew: I Rashid Shahid. That's who I'm playing over him. I'm gonna play Rashid Shahid over Alec Pierce Pierce this week. Yeah. Amanda: Holy shit. All right. Drew: I'm gonna go with the th they're both similar players in my opinion. They're they're catch a deep pass, score a touchdown. I also like the fact that Rashid Shaheed has return potential. that doesn't make a big impact for fantasy, but if I'm talking about a coin flip between two guys, that's a couple extra automatic touches on kickoff returns or punt returns. I I Amanda: Kenneth Gainwell or Alec Pierce. Drew: half PPR, PPR. Full PPR, Kenny Gainwell. Amanda: Full P PR. Okay. Drew: Half PPR, probably going Gainwell, but I think that also depends on roster construction. If I am expected to win this week based on projections, I don't want Alec Pierce to be in my lineup because I think he's too boom robust. I would rather have Kenny Gainwell because I Amanda: Worry about the goose egg. Okay. Drew: think, yeah, I worry about him getting hurt or not playing enough snaps. If I'm Projected to lose by ten points. Maybe you throw Alec Pearson. Hope ge hope he gets a deep ball for a touchdown. Amanda: All right. moving on to Cleveland Browns versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The betting line is Jacksonville favored by seven and a half, which we should have all Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: guessed. And the overunder is forty point five. Cleveland Browns, the only people you're talking you you drafted Harry Fannon to play him, so you're locking him in your lineup and going for it. Drew: Same for Quinshawn. Amanda: Same for Quinchon Jenkins. Yep, those are the only two guys we're really talking about. Can you watch and see what happens with their offense and see if Casey can Casey Conception ends up actually being able to be in a competent offense? Don't get your hopes up. Drew: I would play K C conception over Alec Pierce this week. Amanda: Pause for dramatic effect. Fuck you. I wouldn't. I Drew: He's gonna be on the field. He's gonna be on the field. Amanda: mean that yeah, you're right. I guess you're right. Yeah. We don't know if they're gonna hold Alec Pierce back or Drew: They gotta throw they have to throw the ball. Amanda: not. Drew: Yeah, it's not like the Browns aren't gonna throw the football. It's just that they're gonna Amanda: No, they have to. Drew: throw two interceptions and one touchdown. So Amanda: Or four, yeah. Drew: that I hope not. God, that sucks. Amanda: Anyways, Jacksonville Jaguars, I'm firing it up. Trevor Lawrence, I don't give a fuck that it's the Cleveland Browns. defense, Byshell Tutin, I'm throwing him in my lineup as well. Parker Washington, BTJ, I think both of them can be started this week as well. The only person that gives me pause is Jacoby Myers. coming off injury, it looks like he's all good to go and he's gonna be able to play week one. That's what I've been able to see so far. Drew: Jacoby Myers or Alec Pierce? Amanda: I knew you were gonna ask me that 'cause I literally have it in my notes. Yeah, I'd I I'd probably go Jacoby Myers. Drew: So would I. Amanda: Yeah. Drew: Assuming that he's healthy, ready to play. And a hand injury to me. So that that's the difference between hand and, you know, soft tissue injury or ankle injury is if his if he's good if his hand's good enough to play, he's gonna play. And for him to get re to reaggirate his hand, it would be just a freak play that could happen to anybody. A hamstring and ankle, anything like that, you can tweak it walking on the field pregame. you could do it at halftime, you know, walk into the bathroom to take a you know. Yeah. Amanda: Being an idiot. You could cheer and hurt yourself, yes. Drew: The only other one here is Chris Rodriguez. Do you play him this week? Amanda: I wouldn't. I would wait and see how they use him personally because I think you have better Drew: Yeah. Amanda: options to throw in your lineup, but Drew: Chris Rodriguez or Trevion Henderson? Amanda: That is a terrible freaking decision. Drew: Welcome. Amanda: yeah, I'd probably go Yeah, I'd probably go Yeah, that's what I was gonna say. It's probably Drew: It's tra it's Travy, not Henderson, is the correct answer. Amanda: Henderson because like w you don't know how much they're gonna use Chris Rodriguez at all or what it's gonna look like or anything. And Tutin looked good last year. yeah, no tight end information. Atlanta versus the Drew: All right. On to this poopy game. Amanda: shut up. Atlanta versus the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored to win by three and a half. The overunder is 41.5. Nothing like coming out of the year with a W, I hope anyways. Drew: Yeah, playing at home versus the Atlanta Falcons. Yeah. I'd rather have that than going on the road to play Jacksonville. Amanda: Jacksonville. I get it. all right. From the Atlanta Falcons, B. John Robinson, duh. Drake London's yes. And again, you spent too much draft capital on Kyle Pitts, so go ahead and throw Pity Pitts into the lineup. that's it though. Nobody else gets played there. In the Steelers. yeah. God, their offense makes my stomach actually curdle slightly. Okay, so I think you're playing DK Metcalf. And Drew: DK Metcalf and DK Amanda: Jalen Warren? Drew: Metcalf and Michael Pittman are probably in your lineups if you are in a twelve or higher team league because that's where you drafted them and you probably don't have better options. I think they're fine options this week. Atlanta's defense should not be very good. so you're definitely playing those guys. If you're in a ten team or I mean eight team, they're probably not on a roster. In a in a ten team, you're probably looking at other options. You know, he should be somewhere we've got him right in the low thirties in the rankings this week. So, you know, they're right around guys like you know, Marvin Harrison Junior versus the Chargers or DK Metcalf. Yeah, I would play Mar as well. DJ Moore versus Houston or DK Metcalf. Okay. Mike Amanda: Yeah, I played DK Metcalf. But Drew: Evans if he plays versus the Rams. The answer's Mike Evans. For sure. Amanda: Yes, it's Mike Evans. You are correct. Drew: and then running back Jalen Warren, Rico Dowdle. I I think both are playable this week. Amanda: Correct. Drew: I I'm interested to see what the split looks like, but I both of them can be in my lineups. You know, they're not, you know, rock solid surefire starters, but they're around guys like Jadarian Amanda: You're a little uneasy about it, but yeah. Drew: Price, Quinchon Judkins, Byshal Tutin, Ramondre. Like they're right in the in the level with those guys. They're probably your RB2. Or maybe a flex play, you're gonna know if if they should be on your lineup or not. You know, if you're if you're picking between those guys, you're probably also like for a flex spot, you're probably around the cause KC conception, Jacoby Myers, Alec Pierce, somewhere in that range is probably where you're looking. And I'm playing Amanda: Yeah. Drew: Warren and Dowdle versus all of those guys. Amanda: Yeah, I agree. I just think you're again, it's gonna be interesting to see what that offense does. And I think that Michael Pittman could also be a PPR machine at some point. So he could be a sneaky good option to get kids some points down the road. that offense will be interesting to see how they shape up this year. Moving on, another interesting game. New York Jets versus the Tennessee Titans. they have Tennessee winning by favored by one and a half, so a close line here. The overunder is thirty-nine point five. So not a super duper high scoring game. Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: We obviously know the Jets offense is gonna struggle and we did see the Tennessee Titans offense struggle. The beginning of last year they got something going at the end of the year, but we shall see. For the Jets, the only people you're looking at are Brees Hall and Garrett Wilson. You can lock those two into your lineup for the Jets. Everyone else sits down. And from the Titans, you're looking at Carnell Tate. I think that's a good start. Well you're starting him I love Wandell Robinson, so I would give him the go this week as well. Tony Pollard. is also a start. You probably have to throw in R B two situation in my opinion there too. Drew: Yeah, Pollard's not bad. I would play both the Pittsburgh guys over Tony Pollard this week. however, I would play I was just about to say that I would I would Amanda: Over Pollard, yep. How about Chuba or Brooks? Okay. Drew: play Pollard over the Carolina guys. Amanda: We should see Pollard get more of the work ahead of Spears, correct? Okay. So again, from Drew: certainly, yeah. Yeah. Amanda: if you're thinking to like okay, snap count percentage week number one, before we really know what everyone else is gonna look like, this guy's gonna get a little bit more work. So like that's a favors you. Drew: Sure. Yeah. I this is not a great matchup, I don't believe, for the passing attack of the Titans. So, you know, go in with set you know, lower expectations for Tate and Wandale. If you're in a PPR league, I'm definitely playing Wandale over Tate. just because I I I think the target share especially early, but I think both of them can be played if you're looking at having to flex those guys. 'Cause like if you have Wandale, you drafted him so late. Are you playing Wandale over Jordan Addison. Amanda: Who is Minnesota but versus Green Bay? You know what? I I Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: I'm very adamant on on Wanda Robertson this week, so yes I would. Drew: Okay. How about Jaden Reed? Same game. Amanda: No, play Jaden Reed. Drew: How about Josh Downs? Amanda: I would play Josh Downs over Wandell Robinson. Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's situational, obviously. Also not knowing what's going to happen with Alec Pierce, possibly more targets to Josh Downs. I my bold take, and this is not meaning that you play him over him, but I think Wandale will score more points in fantasy than DJ Moore, week one. So see how it goes, baby. I'd like a bold take, shall we? Okay, Arizona versus the Los Angeles Chargers. This is obviously Arizona going to the Chargers. Drew: Ooh. Amanda: This is Los Angeles Charger favored by 10. shit. Drew: End points. Good lord. Amanda: Over under 47.5. That means the Arizona Cardinals are looking like booty hole to Vegas. So from the Cardinals, we are starting Jeremiah Love. And I do believe that both Marv and Michael Wilson are startable guys. the more Drew: Uh-huh. Amanda: question becomes Michael Wilson over Marv, I think if you've got Marv, you're probably likely gonna take a shot on him. and obviously Trey McBride's not a conversation, lock and load. Give me Michael Wilson feedback. Would you go Downs or Wilson? Drew: Michael Wilson. Amanda: Corum or Wilson. Drew: Michael Wilson. Amanda: Gainwell or Wilson? Drew: Michael Wilson. Amanda: Jalen Warren or Michael Wilson. Or Rako Dado. Okay. Drew: Jalen Warren. Rico Dowdle. Amanda: Cool. Some context there. And for the Chargers, Justin Herbert's lock loaded. I like this one. For him, obviously they're favored tremendously here as well. O'Marian Hampton, duh. Lad McConkie, yes. And I think Quentin Johnston is a really, really great flex start this week. Talk to me about QJ over. I mean, we just talked about some of them. How about Q J or Wilson? You'd go Q J. Drew: Huge. Amanda: Huge. I like Q J better. Drew: I would play Quentin Johnston over Michael Wilson. But Amanda: Okay. Drew: not over Marv. I would play Marv first. Amanda: Alright, how about like a Wandale Robinson? R l Wandale Robinson. Yeah, I I think so as well. This offense should be exciting. Mm-hmm. Drew: Quentin Johnston. Yeah. Better quarterback, better offense. I'm excited to see what the Chargers do. I want a piece of the offense and I want to watch it. but outside the obvious ones, you're all that those are your only options there. The only other one that I think that we would get questions on is obviously if Jeremiah Love plays, he's in your lineup. Tyler Algier. If Jeremiah Love doesn't play, I think you can play Algier for for sure. Amanda: yes. Drew: If to if Jordan Love does play. Are you willing to play Algier in in any circumstance? Amanda: No, I'm not. I I I wanna wait and see. I think we know enough about other backfields that are gonna be more split fifty fifty. Is Algier only gonna be used on the goal line? Is he just gonna stipe touchdowns? Sure, maybe. I wanna wait and see though how he's used before I commit to it. I don't think it's worth enough yet. Drew: Algier or R. J. Harvey? Amanda: Ew. Drew: similar circumstance. Yeah, Amanda: Ew. I'd probably go RJ Harvey. Drew: I mean it that's a gross question. So like my my hope is neither, but like if Amanda: That's disgusting, yes. Drew: you're in that circumstance or like Chris Rodriguez, Kyle Manungay, like Amanda: I would well, I worry Calvinanga, so I'd probably go like Chris Rodriguez over Tyler Yeah. C Rod. Yeah. I I Drew: That's tough. Amanda: like yeah, it's hard. I think Chris Rodriguez might be used a little bit in the past game. So your hope that he catches a few passes and does decent. I I don't know. I who knows. I mean, they did lower the backfield, so like, you know, maybe he gets used more than I think he does, but I'd like to if I can wait and see, I'm gonna wait and see, obviously. Miami. versus the Vegas Raiders. There's a couple teams that I have like watch watch the games more than anything. There's not a lot of fantasy relevance here, but like I would do want to sit and watch what happens and I'll explain a little bit of what I mean. For the Dolphins, you're really looking at one singular guy and that's Devon Achan and that's it. from the Raiders, you're looking at Ashton Genty and Brock Bowers, and that's it. I am interested to see and look at What does the wide receiver look room look like for Miami? What does our offense look like when they actually come out? And then same thing with the Raiders. Like, who is going to be the wide receiver one here, other than obviously Bowers acting as one? I'm interested. I I I'm looking at Trey Tucker. I'm interested to see like, could this offense become something? Could they be fantasy relevant? I took Tucker in a couple of my leagues just as a late round flyer of like, you know what? Maybe I get this sneaky odd wide receiver one who actually gets used often in the offense. So Those are two offices that I'm excited, not for fantasy production week one, but to see is there gonna be any fantasy production that people have called? Drew: Yeah, I don't care too much about the Raiders wide receiver room because unless one takes a massive leap, none of them can be the number one target in the offense. That is Brock Bowers. So they already have the number one guy, much like Arizona has Trey McBride, right? So Brock Bowers is that dude. He's the one that's gonna eat up all the targets. I think the ceiling for their receivers is limited because of that and because they've got Genty, right? I am interested to see Miami. Like Can Malik Willis do what Justin Fields did a few years ago where his running and his legs got him into extreme fantasy you know value? He was started every week. He finished the as what the QB seven a few years ago. speaking of Justin Fields, and it was just because he ran. Can Malik Willis do that? And then also, outside of Devon Achan, they don't have a target leader like a Brock Bowers on their team. So someone has the opportunity Amanda: Yes to be. Drew: to take it over. I would love to see Chris Bell do it. First round talent. They got in the third round because of injury in the in the offseason. So yeah, that one I am interested to look at, just like you said. I'm just more interested in the Miami receiver. This is a guy, Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Malik Washington. you know, I would do Bell first, but the others are there. If you've got an injury and you don't need a starter, pick one of those guys up if they're on on the waivers and let them sit on your bench because they could explode at any moment and they're gonna be really high on lists because it's an open spot. Amanda: Yeah, absolutely. All right. Moving on to our next matchup, we have the Green Bay Packers going to the Minnesota Vikings. The betting line here is Minnesota favored by one and a half, and the over under is forty six point five. two offenses that we are excited about this year, mostly because hopefully Minnesota Vikings is a little something extra this year. From the Green Bay Packers side of things, Marshawn Lloyd, how do you feel about him for week number one? Drew: You play Yep. Amanda: You play him? Okay. You d I mean, you didn't have to spend that much draft capital on him. He fell pretty good. Drew: depends on the league and it depends on Amanda: Okay. Drew: when you draft it. Amanda: But sheer touches, you you throw in the lineup. Christian Watson, I believe, is a great start. Drew: Mm. Amanda: Tucker Kraft, no brainer. I also like Jaden Reed Drew: Yep. Amanda: as a start this week as well. Drew: Yeah. I think you can play Jaden Reed and I think you can play Matthew Golden this week. again, these are it's week one. You just don't know who on the Packers is going to have the value. So you're just shooting your shot. Kristen Watson's an auto start for me. I think you can play Reed or Wa or Golden this week, but I don't think either one of them needs forced into your lineup. Reed I would play over Golden though. Amanda: How about Jordan Love? Drew: no, not this week. Amanda: Okay. into Minnesota Vikings. Again, like I I'm not putting Kyler Murray in my lineup until I see more. You likely drafted two quarterbacks if you do have a Kyler Murray. Not someone I'm I want to see how it happens first. Jordan, Justin Jefferson, auto start. there's a lot of question marks here. I we have already talked about Jordan Mason at nauseam. We think he's a a a fine start to throw into your lineup. how do you feel about Aaron Jones then? Obvious as the second question, since he is the other running back there. Old. Old. Drew: I don't love him. Yeah, old. I d I don't I don't yeah. I I like Jordan Mason. I think he fits the running scheme much better. It is early in the season, so if Aaron Jones is gonna have value, it's gonna be now while his legs are still as fresh as as they can be. Amanda: Yeah. So that was my my take is I do have Aaron Jones somewhere. It was my best worst option of a running back option. and he's a flex option for me. So I'm looking at like, you know, do I go into an Aaron Jones territory or do I go a Kenny Gainwell? those are kind of like the level that I'm looking at of who do I end up forcing into my lineup as as an option or an Alec Pierce, right? I have all those guys. So Drew: I play Kenny Gainwell over the other two. Amanda: Kenny Gainwell is who I'm leaning, correct. The only consideration we have is if we see Aaron Jones come out hot and heavy and he's fresh and they use him and he gets you lots of points early on. That's your only hope there if you need to put him in your lineup. And then Jordan Addison, I already said Wandale over Addison. Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: I mean, Downs over Addison. How do you feel about that? Drew: Yeah, I would take downs. Amanda: Yep. Okay. How about if you had to go down a flex rabbit hole of like a Rashad White or Jordan Addison? Jordan Addison. Drew: Jordan Addison, I don't un unless Rashad White is the the only guy Amanda: The only guy because JCM's hurt. Drew: g yeah, if J Sam doesn't play, then I'm okay with Rashad White. If J Sam's there, I don't have any interest in Rashad White because I don't think he's a very good running back. so yeah, I t I take Rashad White completely off of every lineup if ja if Jakori Krosky merits healthy. Amanda: If yeah, and we call him JCM. So all right, moving on to Washington Commanders versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Commanders go to the Eagles. Philadelphia is favored by four and a half, and the over-under is forty four point five. you're starting Jaden Daniels, you're starting Terry McLaurin, you drafted them both to start them. Drew: H here's the Jaden Daniels one. Because I don't know that he's an auto start this week. Amanda: All right. Drew: Now i if he is your only quarterback, I'm not looking for another quarterback to play over him. Like I'm not looking to bring another guy onto the roster. Like you probably you'd have to drop somebody. It's really early for that. Like if you have Jaden Daniels, you're playing Jaden Daniels. If for some reason you had Jaden Daniels because you got good value on him and you ended up with a Jared Goff. I would play Jared Goff over Jaden Daniels. Amanda: Agreed. Drew: he's a guy that might have fallen to you. Baker Amanda: Bigger. Drew: Mayfield, I think I play him over Jaden Daniels this week. Amanda: What about love or Murray? Okay. Daniel's over them. That same but I yeah. Drew: No, I play Daniels over Levin Murray. Brock Brock Purdy, Matt Stafford, I probably b play both of them over Jaden Daniels this week. Again, those these are just some names that maybe you have Daniels and this other guy. but again, don't go out of your way to go find somebody to play Amanda: Take him out. Yeah. Drew: over Daniels. if you've got somebody on their team, then, you know, look at those guys. But Amanda: Yeah. okay, then that leads us to JCM and Rashad White. Like we said, this is still messy 'cause we we aren't really sure who's playing and who's not playing, so you want to keep an eye on all of that type of stuff. I do you put JCM in your lineup regardless. If he plays you put him in. You put him in. Okay. Drew: If he plays, he's in my lineup. Mm-hmm. Amanda: if if JCM does not play, then I do go ahead and feel very comfortable throwing Rashad White into the lineup. And if JCM does play, I look for other options outside of Rashad White. for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts. Saquon Barkley, Devontae Smith, Dallas Goddard. Start, start, start, start, start. Drew: Hertz, Barkley, Smith, Goddard, Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: and I would probably turn the page. That's probably all I do. Amanda: Yes, I was gonna say you wait Makai Lemon till after week one. Yeah. Drew: Yeah, I I'm not sure how healthy he is. I mean, Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: he's healthy, he's gonna play, but I don't know what his role looks like. he's also had not a very good camp so far, and Dodtavian Weeks has had a pretty decent camp, so I'd be interested to see what the snap share looks like there. So I'm not interested in playing any of those guys. Terry McLaurin, I don't know if you mentioned him over on Washington side, you play him. Amanda: I did, yes. Yep. Auto start. Yep. Drew: I think Stephon Diggs is a play is is a guy that you could play this week as well. Amanda: Flexi flexi option, huh? Drew: I think you could flex him. I would play Stephon Diggs over Makai Lemon and Devontae Wicks this week. I would play Stephon Diggs over Alec Pierce this week. anybody in that range that kind of we've talked about, I think that I'd play Stephon Diggs. It's a very good defense against the with the Eagles. Very good rush defense. So I think shorter targets, closer line of scrimmage is what Washington is gonna have to do to supplement some of their rushing attack. so I I think that he could have a productive week. I don't expect him to go off for twenty plus points, but if he can get five, six catches for forty or fifty yards, you get nine, ten points. It's all you're hoping for from Stefan Diggs anyway at this point. Amanda: Yeah. Drew: So Amanda: Absolutely. All right. Dallas Cowboys versus the New York Giants. this yeah, Drew: First Sunday night game of the year. Amanda: first Sunday night football, baby. Betting line is Dallas favored by three. The overunder is forty-eight and a half. We usually talk about the Dallas Cowboys. We like them because their defense is not great and their offense really is. So we'll talk about it no brainers. Dak Javante, CD, George Pickens, Locke Loaded. Drew: Mm-hmm. Amanda: Jake Ferguson was the only kind of potential streaming tight end option, if you can. not a Bad play, taper expectations. He's just a midline tight Drew: Yeah, it's it's it's all Amanda: end. Drew: it's all right. if you have Jake Ferguson, I would expect you to have another tight end on your roster. Like drafting wise, most of the people that got Ferguson took another one later, at least that I saw. I'm t I'm playing Mark Andrews or Juwan Johnson over Ferguson this week. I'll play Travis I'll Jake Ferguson. I'll play Kelsey over him. I'll play Amanda: Full stop. I only have one tight end in one of my leagues, and it is Mr. Jake Ferguson. Locked him in. yeah, for sure. Drew: Dallas Goddard over him. Like I I don't think Ferguson has a great week this week. It's not a fantastic matchup and he did not have much production last year when both CeeDee and George Pickens were both active. So Amanda: Yes. Drew: I'm not looking to play him if I can avoid it this week. But Dak, Javante, CeeDee, George, they're in for sure. Amanda: Duh. New York Giants, Jackson Dark, Cam Scattaboo. Malik Neighbors, if he plays. W do you and reports have basically Drew: Both in, yep. Yep. Yeah, if Malik yeah, if if Malik plays, he's in for sure. Amanda: said that like there's one of three options. Now Malik Neighbors says he plays only if he can be non-restricted. coach says he plays on one of three occasions. Either he doesn't play, he plays on a snap snap count, or he plays unrestricted. what do you think? Like, what if they announced Drew: No shit, that's the only three options that you could have. Amanda: No shit, I know, of course, they were vague. But what if he goes on a snap? What if they announce that he's not going to play all the snaps? You still play him regardless. Okay, you play. All right. Rock on. You spent so much fucking draft capital on him. Yep. Drew: I play him. I don't care. I play him. Also, you dra you would have you had to have drafted him in the third round at the at the very least. Like he didn't drop anywhere past that in the drafts that I've seen, so y you have to play him if he plays. No. likely, yes. I thought you were gonna say Malachi Fields. No, Amanda: If he doesn't play, do we really like Isaiah Likely? Because I do. Okay. Yeah. No. Drew: I don't want to play any other Giants receiver even if Neighbors is out. I Amanda: Correct, me either. Drew: like Likely this week kind of regardless. Amanda: Same. Same. Drew: So I think he's a good play. I'd play him over Jake Ferguson. I would play likely Amanda: I would as well. Drew: over Dalton Kincaid and Bretton Strange and Amanda: Mm-hmm. Drew: George Kittle this week. Like I I think Likely can be a very good play. I don't want any other receiver from their team though, no matter no matter what. Amanda: me either. No, absolutely not. I'm not gonna force any of those guys in my lineup. I'd rather flex a second tight end if I needed to before I went down that rabbit hole of fucking around and finding out with a wild card wide receiver there. Last game of the week, we have the Denver Broncos versus the Kansas City Chief. This is our Monday night game. The betting line has Kansas City favored by two and a half, and the overunder is forty three point five. This should be an interesting game. good defenses, so you know, we should we should see a tough challenge for both teams here. no brainer starts Jalen Waddle, JK Dobbins. Drew: Cortland Sutton. Yeah. Yeah. Amanda: Coo Hortland Sutton. Okay. Drew: Cortland Sutton it's it's not a bad matchup. Kansas City's very young on the defensive side of the football. Amanda: Yes. Drew: especially in the defensive back that got rid of Trent McDuffie. I I'm playing Waddle, I'm playing Sutton and I'm playing JK and I'm turning the page. Those are the only players Amanda: JK. How about bonex? Drew: no. Amanda: Only I mean, okay. What if you have the Drew: No, I I I'm not. Amanda: NYX waddle stack? You don't care. Okay. All right. Drew: No, I I don't think it's a good matchup. Like maybe he does play well. I don't know. I'm also I got burnt by Bo Nicks last year, time and time and time again. I don't think it's a good matchup for him. So I'm not looking to play Bo Knicks really at all this week. I don't want to drop him to pick somebody up, I don't think, at this point. But most of Amanda: The week one. Drew: the people that I saw that that drafted Bo Nicks have another option. So I I think you can get much better options. I think Kyler Murray's available in a lot of leagues. Amanda: Correct. So you'd go Kyler Murray over Bonex. Jordan Love? Drew: Matthew Sta Yep, Matt Stafford if he's available. I wouldn't go down to Jordan Love. No, I don't think that's a good matchup against Minnesota. Amanda: Okay. I just n that's a good one 'cause he was such a late, right job steal. all right, how about Patty Mahomes or Bonex? Drew: Bonex actually. Yeah. Amanda: okay. Okay. interesting. Yeah. All right. For the Kansas City Chiefs, that takes us right there. We have our no brainer starters, Kenneth Walker. I I'm Rasheed Rice as well. I'm not going down the Xavier Xavier Worthy rabbit hole this week. I think you got better flex options out there. And then Travis Kelsey. You drafted him to I Drew: Yeah, he's a fine play. Amanda: yeah, I I think most people who have Travis Kelsey, that is their singular only Tight end, unless for some reason they snagged a Jawan Drew: Yeah, that's fine. He's a fine play this week. Amanda: Johnson late. Patty Mahomes then, you are looking at a sit for for him this week, if possible. Drew: If possi if possible, yeah. Amanda: Okay. Usually if Patty Mahomes was drafted pretty late, so at least likely you have another quarterback on your roster. and like he said, Gobo Knicks over Patty Mahomes, even like a Kyler Murray over Patty Mahomes this week as well. Drew: Yeah, probably. I just don't it's not a very good matchup. It's Denver's very good. Amanda: No. Very good. Drew: He's coming I I'm interested to see how his mobility is. Last year he had value before he got hurt because of his legs. I don't think he's gonna be able to move quite as well coming off the ACL injury. I I would venture to say the Chiefs have a struggle week one against Denver's defense if Patrick can't run as much as he did last year, especially since you've already got a banged up K bone. Kenneth Walker, so I'm looking elsewhere other than Patrick Mahomes this week. Amanda: All right. Well, friends, it was one gigantic episode. Thanks for hanging with us. That is all of our sit starts. We Drew: Top bet for the week. Amanda: have one final segment of the week, which is prop bets of the week. We're gonna do this every week. We're gonna talk about some bets that we are feeling really good about for week number one. So go ahead and give me a prop bet of the week, Drew. Drew: All right, prop bet for anybody th out there that does not know what a prop bet is. Yep. Amanda: I was gonna say, explain to us what a prop it is. Cause I said it with my full chest, but full honesty, don't know what the fuck it is. So Drew: Yep, so instead of like you're not betting on a game, you're betting on a player to go over or under yards, receptions, touchdowns, something like that. Amanda: like a just a singular thing or like are we are we parlaying it? Like that's that's multiple, right? Drew: No, these are all just singles. Amanda: okay okay okay. Drew: Yeah, it's just we each have three of them and we'll see who does better. so Amanda: put all three of mine together and risk it for the biscuit, but good. Drew: My first one this week is proc proc purdy. Brock Purdy over one and a half passing touchdowns. That's his line right now. So I think he will have at least two passing touchdowns this week against the Rams. What's your first one? Amanda: My first one is Wando Robinson has fifty plus receiving yards. Drew: Hmm. It's not a terrible one. I think I would have went receptions over yards, but is it a little bit too much? Amanda: No, it was like five plus, so I didn't want to do that. I looked. Drew: Did you okay, did you look at the actual over well five plus that would be four and a half, so that probably is a line. Amanda: It yeah, it was too many. I was like, I'd rather go with fifty. That felt better for me, okay? Drew: All right, I'm gonna stick in the same game with my second one, same position. I have Matthew Stafford over one and a half passing touchdowns as well. I believe that Purdy and Stafford both get at least two passing touchdowns. Amanda: That's I looked at your number your ones before and I was like, screw you for finding really good prop bets because I was like, fuck, those are good. Drew: Should have looked first. Amanda: mine second one is Isaiah Likely gets four plus receptions, which if Malik doesn't play, I like that even more. I'm still going for it, even if he does play, because I think he'll be used quite a bit in that offense. Drew: All right, so I so far I feel much better about mine than yours. So Amanda: great. Drew: my third one, Jamison Williams, over three and a half receptions. Lions playing against the Saints. A lot of plays gonna happen in that game. Saints not a not a fantastic defense, so I think he's gonna be over three and a half receptions in the first game with their new offensive coordinator in charge. Amanda: Alright, Tyler Shuck, two plus passing touchdowns, baby. Feeling good. Listen, Drew: I hope so. Amanda: scared money don't make money. I ain't scared. we'll see, I guess, huh? We'll see. Drew: Yeah, your money a your money ain't making no money, so that's fine. We'll we'll see we'll see who has more. I'll get some ridiculous cat ridiculous hat or something you have to wear next week when you decide to you know, when yours don't work Amanda: Okay. Yeah. When my team ends it w Drew: out.
