  Speaker 1: Well, what happened in the game between me and Thor? Well,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to update you, and guess what? We play
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: again this week in another league. Here we go. Let's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: find out what happened and see who you should be
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: starting in this week's episode of Fantasy Freakin' Football.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: The one that hurts the most.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Did every guy on your bench go off? Did you
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: decide to set your top scorer because you had a hunch?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Did your drafting a kicker in the first round strategy
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: not pay off?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Then this is the.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Show for you.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Now here to help you set your lineups every week,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: it's Eddie and Thor with Fantasy Frickin' Football.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as you heard by Thor's overwhelming response there. Didn't
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: go well for him last week.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Fantasy's gone off.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's gone off the rails for you.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Dude, in one league, it's a nightmare situation.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Honestly. The injury situation, because I'm dealing with injuries too.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Everyone is.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like the amount of, like my running
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: back situation is hot garbage right now. Like almost all
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: of the running backs that I have are injured right now.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And so luckily in one league, I decided to pick
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: up Alvin Kamara as just a whim. I was like,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe with the injury of a Chan, you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: that he may get a carrier too. Uh, but luckily
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I had a good game last weekend. So it's like, Oh, okay.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's the guy there. I don't know. Hopefully you
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: picked up maybe like a Brian Robinson went off for
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: you or whatever, but. There's so many injuries at the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: running back spot and all these different spots. It is tough.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: And I will totally admit, your injury situation, it's almost
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: comical at this point.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: It's just every week. And then guys I pick up
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to start, then they get hurt. And now like Ramadri,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: I have Saquon Barkley's hurt. Justin Jefferson's hurt. Zay Flowers
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: has been out of the lineup. Jalen Waddle's my only
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: real big bust. Dart's done for the season, which then
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: affects Isaiah Likely because he's been a turd since... And
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: then on top of that, Rasheed White, who I picked up,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: he was hurt, and now Ramadre Stevenson's hurt. Dude. And
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: then Saquon Barkley.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: How do you field a team?
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And then Saquon Barkley, he's out, but the Eagles just
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: traded Cam Jurgens. And Lane Johnson retired. So I'm just like...
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my God. So I'm going to come
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: in last in that league. I'm not going to win
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I don't think fantasy is good for your mental health.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Well, my other leagues I'm doing okay. Like our work league,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I'm okay. I'm one in three, but I'm okay. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: then another league I'm doing pretty well. But like in
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: this one league, it's just the second year in a row.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It's a nightmare.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Well, the work league is the league that I smashed
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you in.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But you mean you have injuries there too, right?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I have injuries there, but I don't feel like– I'm
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: not worried yet though. Like even if I go to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: one in four, eight teams make the playoffs in that league.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So I'm not– and my team's not bad.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, Pickens, Watson, Michael Wilson. I'm not worried.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You just need guys to show up, like Pickens. You
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: need him to show up.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need him to show up. Brees Hall will
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: come back eventually. DJ Moore will come back eventually. I'm
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: not freaking out about that league yet. And then this
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: other league I'm in, it's fine. But yeah, in my
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: big league that we love, my team's just a nightmare.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't gotten 100 points for weeks in a row. Oh, wow. Like,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: it's just like, what the hell? Yeah.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: And that's tough for PPR to not score 100 points.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I ended up beating you by almost 40
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: in the one league. And now we play each other
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: again in that league. You're a disaster.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And I have all these injuries and my matchups are terrible. Like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I don't understand it. Like, oh, God, it's frustrating. And
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: then we had this stupid rule in that league that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: my moron friend wanted to do. And it really pisses
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: me off. I don't know why he's obsessed with a punishment.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Well, in that league, they want to do punishments. And
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the punishment for that league.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Which we haven't done ever, by the way. We had one,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but it didn't happen. Then we didn't do one last year.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: But he got this wild hair that he wants to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: do this punishment that somebody gets regulated from the league.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Relegated.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Relegated, whatever. It's so stupid.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Like, what? So if you come in last, you are
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: not allowed to play the next year. We bring in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: an additional person, and then they get your spot. And
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: so you have to sit out the whole year. And
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you have to show up to the draft and not
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: be able to draft.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And if that happens to me, I will be done
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: with the league.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You're going to quit the league?
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I won't quit, but I'll be done. I won't play anymore.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'll show up to the draft. I'll do the thing.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: And that will be it. I'm done with the league.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But then the next year, you're back. The next year,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you're back.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not. I'll be done.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You'll be done?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I will be done.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Well, that's crazy.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I will be done. I will be like, you know what?
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe this is a good thing. That's the punishment. No,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: this is a good thing. I'm done. I'll do two leagues.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I have two kids now.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You're extreme right now.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I have two kids now. I'm done.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: You're in a dark place.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: I'm wiping my eyes. A league I started 15 years ago.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I will be done with. Oh, my God. Well, yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. But it is getting crazy
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: right now in fantasy. I have been offered a trade
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that I have accepted.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So I'm not the biggest trader. You love making trades
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in fantasy. Well, nobody wants.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I have no one to trade with.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the awful part. It's cruel. Um, but I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: got offered a trade and me and this guy have
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: been going back and forth for almost three weeks now where,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: you know, they, I love trades where they try to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: get one over on you. And it's like, why would
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I do that? It doesn't even make any sense. Um,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like I got to get something out of it too,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know? And so he will offer me a terrible trade.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I offer him a terrible trade back. And then we
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: go to, we just reject each other's trade offers back
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: and forth. And we get to the point of where
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we're getting closer. And then I was like, Oh, maybe, well,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'd rather have this guy than this guy. And then
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: he rejects it. Then he offers me something and I'm like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: that's close, but I don't want that guy reject. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: then we, you know, we just been doing this back
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and forth. And like, I'm not the one looking for
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: the guy though. He's the one that wants the trade.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, you got to give up something if
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you want my guy. So the guy that I have
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: is Brock Purdy. So he's got injuries at the quarterback situation.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And so he's also a Niner fan. And so he
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: really wants Brock Purdy. He's on my bench because I
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: have Josh Allen. I'm never going to not start Josh Allen.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't care. Purdy's having a great season, but he's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: not Josh Allen.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: No, not in fantasy.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: No. So I'm like, sorry, I'm never going to start Purdy,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: but I'm glad I have him. And so the one
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: bye week that the Bills had, I was going to
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: play him, but that's all I'm going to use Brock
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Purdy for, or unless Josh gets hurt, God forbid. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: so he's been offering me these ridiculous trades for Brock Purdy,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I'm like, no, dude, you got
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to kind of package things together and make this work. Otherwise,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: why would I do that? I don't need to make
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the trade. And so finally, we got to the point
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of where he offered me a straight-up trade. I liked it,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: so I'd made the trade. He offered me Debo, Debo Samuel,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: for Brock Purdy. I'm set at quarterback. Obviously, I could
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: always use help at wide receiver or the flex position
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Debo's having a great year so far. God forbid, again,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: hopefully he doesn't get hurt. That's usually Debo's M.O., But
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for right now, for a backup quarterback, for Debo, who
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is probably going to start for me, I decided to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: make the deal.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, you know, again, it took a long time
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to get to that spot. I mean, it was ridiculous,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to be honest.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now imagine being like a real GM. That's why
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: these trades take so long, right?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Seriously, you don't realize it. You're just like, you're not
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: going to get one over on me, bro. Like, I
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: got to get something back.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And like, why does it always have to be that?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Why can't it be fairness?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You know, because you will end up finding a guy
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: who doesn't know that much about fantasy or whatever, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: they'll see a guy who has a giant week, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: their guy's not performing that well. Like, say, I have, like,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton on my team. He has done nothing so far.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: But eventually, they got to start throwing him the ball,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I would imagine.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Well, and my thing right now is I would love
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: to trade Saquon or Justin Jefferson.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: But who's going to take him? Yeah, who's going to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: take him?
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, so I got to wait. And while I'm waiting,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I got to keep losing. Yeah. Because neither of them
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: are done for the year. but they're hurt right now.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to trade Zay Flowers, though Lamar's out.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So it'd be like you right now offering Justin Jefferson
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: straight up for like CeeDee Lamb. Yeah, it doesn't make
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: any sense. And you go, well, why would I do that?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Why would I do, yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of the year, if you make that offer, okay,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: there's some, you know.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: But now with him hurt.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And then CeeDee just went off. You go, huh.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Which, by the way, I don't understand why CeeDee Lamb
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: got 17 catches and And George Pickens has five. They're
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: paying George Pickens almost $ 30 million a year. It's so ridiculous.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I would be happy if I had CD in that situation,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but you don't. You got Pickens, and now you're just like,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: what the heck?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: It's killing me, man.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It is weird. I don't know what's going on with that.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Same with Ted McMillan. You're like, what the? There's nobody
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: else he's got on the team? It's great if you
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: have him.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And at what point does the defense say, hey, we
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: can't let him beat us anymore. Let's just start doubling
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: him and make somebody else beat us.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy. All right, let's get to your questions.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You can hit us up on email. You can email
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: us your questions every week that we'll get to, or
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: you can hit us up on X, at the show Thor,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: at the show Eddie, and we'll get to your questions
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: every week. This question is about the quarterback spot. It says, hey, guys,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I'm in the need of a quarterback with Lamar Jackson,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: most likely not playing this week, and Patrick Mahomes is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: on a bye, so I don't have very many options
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. Who would you guys pick up?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Would you go with Deshaun Watson, Sam Darnold, or Jalen Daniels?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the new starter in Tampa.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, definitely not Jalen Daniels. He didn't look very good. No,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he's undrafted free agent rookie. Uh, I would probably go
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: with Darnold because I think the Niners are a really
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: good team right now, but they did give up a
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: lot of points to Jacoby Brissett, um, a couple of
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: weeks ago. So I'd probably go with Darnold just because
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think he's key and, and they, they're familiar with
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that defense. I'd probably go with Darnold.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you. Um, Deshaun, um, Even though
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they're winning, I don't trust him. I definitely don't trust
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: him in the massage parlor.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: No.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But, you know, I don't trust the Browns. I think
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: this is false goods. You know, I think it's fool's gold.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I know right now they're 3-1 and everyone's on the Browns.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: It's not like he's putting up monster numbers either.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know everyone's like down on the Jets
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: because they lost to the Bears. I'm not sure the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Browns beat the Jets in New York.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I could easily see the Jets winning that game.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Also, look at the weather. The weather's going to be
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: crappy again on those East Coast games. So that sucks.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So just a heads up on that. Yeah.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I think Donald's the play there for sure. Uh, tight
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: end who to start Harold Fannin versus the jets or
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Jawan Johnson versus Minnesota.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going Jawan Johnson. He's been one of, Chuck's top targets.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Chuck has really fallen back down to earth recently, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: he's still getting the ball.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Did you want, I guess the question I was going
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to finish the, he said it's because of the matchup.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He did. He's afraid of the Vikings defense, I guess.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: But I mean, then again, though, I don't, the Vikings
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: defense wasn't as gray as I thought against the dolphins
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: last past Sunday. So you just never know.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I thought they held them pretty low.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the game was like 12-6. Yeah, so that's
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: good defense. Yeah, but.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: But they didn't score 15-10. But they only had like
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: seven points. I thought they were going to totally dominate.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Meh.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know. I'd still... start Jermaine Johnson. I
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: just don't trust the Browns.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, Fannin, he's been kind of Watson's guy. So,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get the question. It's a legit question.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I guess I would probably give the nod to Johnson
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: just because he's been consistent. Like every week, they're at
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: least targeting him in the end zone and things like that.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: And so he's been pretty good for them. So, yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I'd probably give a slight edge to Jawan Johnson in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that matchup. This question says, should I give up on
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison at this point? I know he scored last week,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: but that was all he did. I have Denzel Boston
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: as a backup. Should I be starting him?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, I think Marvin Harrison's done. I think
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: he's just a bust.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: He looks slow.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He looks like he's quit on the team. which is
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: never a good sign.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: He needs a change of scenery.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: But even then.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Like, I'd trade him to the Chiefs or something. Like,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, do something with this guy.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: But even then, he just doesn't seem like he's that good,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: which is crazy because he.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Was supposed to be. He's got all the talent.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: It's weird.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: But he doesn't look fast. I don't know. It's weird, man.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, Denzel Boston has been okay. Again, a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: lot of Cleveland questions today. Yeah, a lot of Cleveland.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: He's been okay. And so, yeah, I would probably– again,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: if you look at your game log and see– What
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: has Harrison done? What has Boston done? Boston is outperforming him.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So at this point, yeah, I get it. I never
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: want to do the thing where I finally bench a
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: guy and then he goes off on your bench. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: hate that feeling. But at some point, you've got to go, well,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: he's not consistent, so I can't rely on him. So yeah,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you've got to pull the trigger.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And I know that the Cardinals play the Lions this week,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: but I think it's going to be a Michael Wilson
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: game and a Trey McBride game. Oh, yeah. More than anything.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And most games are for him.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Marvin Harrison Jr. doesn't even get that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: many targets.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: It's weird. Because he's not getting open.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: It's bizarre. Final question is, again, a quarterback question. Who
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: should I start, Jalen Hurts or Drake May?
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Drake May.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You think he's back?
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, Lane Johnson is retired. Cam Juergens just got traded.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: The Eagles are only a game out of first place.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they're doing. It's really odd because
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: they're right in it. So I don't know what's going
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: on there, but no Saquon. I don't know if Devontae
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Smith's going to play. I think Drake May is going
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: to have– he finally found his rhythm a little bit,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and they play the Raiders.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Raiders, obviously better.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: They're better, but I still.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Think– Tough matchup with Philly against Jacksonville.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I still would start Drake May.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Drake May is probably your start there.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I may be starting Drake May this week because I
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson doesn't play. I'm going
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: with Drake May.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I totally agree with that. Definitely in that matchup.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, you know, you always think Jalen may, you know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: rush one in. So you have that possibility. Jaguars are good, though.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: But without, I mean, their offensive line is just in
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: such shambles now.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they may not score a lot of points. Even
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: with a good offensive line, they haven't looked good. So, yeah,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: I think Drake May is probably your start there. All right,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: let's get to our starts and sits for the week
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: at quarterback. Who is your start?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the worst defense in the league
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: is the Lions at this point. So anytime a team
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: plays the Lions, I'm taking them. I'm going to start
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: with Jacoby Brissett. I think he's going to have a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: big game against the Lions.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we just said it. Drake May was
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: my start for the week.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, there you go.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's going against the Raiders. He looked
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: way better this past week. He's got to cut out
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the turnovers. I think he's starting to figure it out, though.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And I mean, he was obviously good. I don't know
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: why he looked so bad the first few weeks, but
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I think he's starting to figure it out. So I'm
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: going to go with Drake May on that one. Who's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: your sit?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Jalen Arts. We were just talking about it. I just
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: wouldn't start really anybody on the Eagles right now.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. It is tough. which affects so many
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: different players too, Devontae Smith, all that stuff. So yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. My sit, again, is a guy who
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: you look at and you go, at this point, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going on with the Packers because the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Packers look atrocious, and I don't know what's up. And
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the matchup this week with the Packers taking on the Bears, again,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: look at the Bears' defense. They have been unbelievable this year.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: So Jordan Love this week is easily a sit for me.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about the– like, again, they have no running game.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: You have Christian Watson. You have Golden. And you have
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of targets there that you're hoping he gets
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the ball to. But overall, I don't foresee a big
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: game by Jordan Love. So he's my sit this week.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Running back, who's your start?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: This guy scored 30 points in a PPR league last week.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Kyle Menungai against the Packers. I know you're like, well, Swift, Menungai.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: I always– last year I had Swift, and I always
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: got frustrated because Menungai– He was a touchdown vulture. Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and I feel like it's already starting. Swift always– he's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: always never practicing Wednesday and Thursday, and then he practices Friday.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: He's put up points, too. Yeah, but– But last week
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was crazy.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Menungai's the guy.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Oh. Is that– are we saying his name correctly? Are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: we pronouncing it right?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Menungai?
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Or is it Menagi? I thought it was Menungai.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Well, when you made that little pun there, I thought
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that was– Menungai, the guy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Okay. Okay.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: My start this week is, again, another guy who kind
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: of had a slow start. They're finally getting in the ball.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: It didn't work out for a win for them last week,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: but I do think the Broncos are starting to utilize R.J.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Harvey a little bit more. This guy has to be
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: involved in the passing game. He's not the best running back,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: but he catches balls out of the backfield, and he
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: does a really good job about that. The Chargers are
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in disarray. They're just a hot mess.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: They go 0-5?
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think so, honestly, which is crazy. So
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I actually think Again, obviously, if you have better starters
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: out there, go with them, clearly. But if you're looking
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for a guy or he's on your bench and you
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: have a bye week and you maybe have Kenneth Walker
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: or whatever, R.J. Harvey is a decent start. So I
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: think R.J. Harvey has a good week this week. Who's
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: your sit?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: This guy was the preseason number one last year. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: had a pretty whatever season. This year he stinks. I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: don't know what this team was thinking making a seventh-round pick.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: They're starting running back. Jacory Kroski-Merritt. He stinks.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Bill?
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Bill, he stinks. And I think Rashid White's a better back.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So if he practices this week, he'll play. But the
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Giants can't stop the run.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Even Rodriguez was getting touches.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And then, well, Rodriguez is.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: On the Jaguars.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Who was it?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: There was another guy that was getting touches.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Austin Eckler.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Who just signed off the street.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Who just signed, yeah.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: So I wouldn't start. The Giants can't stop the run,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: but I wouldn't trust Rodgers. Bill Merritt this week.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Okay. My sit this week was my darling pick to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: have a good season. And he has done nothing. Blake Corum. Yeah, man.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It's so disappointing because I really thought.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And now he's not getting touches.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: Well, it was a 50-50 kind of deal there for
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: a long time. But Kyron Williams is the guy there.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's getting all the goal line touches. He's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: getting there. And he's the guy. And so Corum, he'll
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: get barely anything. And so at this point... He still
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: may be okay at some point, but I don't trust
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: him week to week thinking he's going to score anything
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: because he hasn't. And so, again, tough matchup against Buffalo,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: but yeah, I just don't. At this point, I'm sitting
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Blake Corham. Wide receiver, who's your start?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I said it earlier. I think Michael Wilson will ball out.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I think he's the best receiver. Anytime you have a
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: receiver and a quarterback matchup against the Lions, start him.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: The Lions defense is the worst in the league.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's so bad. And it's always their secondary.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. You're going to like this. My
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: start this week, Malik. neighbors oh wow yeah again Washington
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: not a great football team um and so the Giants
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: surprisingly three and one yeah I do feel like Jameis
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: is starting to get a little bit of a rhythm
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: going you know it's taking him a while I know you.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Hate him he I know he missed he he threw
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns but and he threw two picks but it
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: wasn't just about the picks it was like the So
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: many open receivers.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Again, this isn't about Jameis. It's about Malik. And so
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I do think he's going to find Malik. He just
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: is going to.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I agree. I just think that he's going to leave
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of meat on the bone. Probably.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Probably. But all that matters is he gets you points.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: And so I do think neighbors has a big game
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: against Washington. Who's your sit?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: My sit this week is Josh Downs at the Steelers.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Daniel Jones stinks.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, another guy.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Everybody stinks, huh? If you watch the game against– if
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Mariota played, I think the commanders would have won because
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: once he went out, they had no offense. Daniel Jones
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: can't throw the ball. He stinks. The Steelers have a
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: pretty good decent defense sitting Josh Downs.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, my thing, your theme is stinks. My theme is like,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of over certain guys. You keep waiting for
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: them to be great.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Uh, you keep waiting for guys to be good and keep,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: you know, hearing all preseason. They're going to be great.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: This guy's going to have a breakout year, this guy.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: And then they don't like Marvin Harrison is a great
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: example of that quorum I'm waiting for. The other guy
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: you're kind of waiting for to have a huge breakout
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: game and it hasn't happened yet is Roma Dunzay. yeah
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like you keep going well he was supposed to be
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: caleb's guy caleb's not there and you go okay but
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: even when caleb was there he still didn't do anything
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: i don't know if i'm going he stinks no but
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: i do say that yeah but i'm like waiting for
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: rome to do something he hasn't done anything yet i
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: know they're playing the packers i do like.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: The matchup Hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, you've been waiting for that one. I have. Okay.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: That stunk. Okay. So he's my sip for the week.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Tight end, who's your start?
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: So this guy is very up and down. Like, I'm
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: looking at his stats right now. He's had three touchdowns
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: in four games. The one game, the reason why he's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: up and down is he didn't have a target. But
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: no Jamar Chase. Tee Higgins may not play. Mike Gesicki.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Is this your second week in a row?
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: With Gusecki.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: You either said he was your Sid last week. Two
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: weeks ago, he was my Sid. He got a mention.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: He got a mention. I forget what it was.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: And now he's your start.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Mike Gusecki. Because no T. Higgins, maybe, and definitely no
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase. There's no way he's playing. You get a concussion,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: you miss a game. It's just the way that it is.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm not starting. Yeah, I'm starting Gusecki.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: They're going to have to score points, and they're playing
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: the Dolphins.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: So somebody's going to score points in that game.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: That's a wild start. My start this week, a guy, again,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: he's kind of up and down, too. There's so many
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: targets there, so it's kind of hard. But as bad
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: as the Lions' defense is, their offense is great. So
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I like Sam Laporta. I think this week against Arizona,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I think the Lions have a nice bounce-back game. I
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: think they win this game. And I think Sam Laporta
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: is going to find the end zone this week. Who's
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: your sit?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: A guy that we were– he's in the Marvin Harrison Jr. world.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I don't even know why they gave him a contract.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts. He's never going to be the
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: guy that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: I thought he was going to be. I think he's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: your sit every week. I think he's your sit every week.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: He might as well be. I don't even think he's
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: had the seven points this year.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Does he?
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: Everyone balls out in that offense.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Does he?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: He stinks.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Stink?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, he stinks. The backup running back balls out. John
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Robinson balls out. Drake London balls out. They all get
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: points except for him.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Stinks.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: He stinks.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, good to know. The guy I'm sitting this week,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: he was a big waiver wire pickup when Brock Bowers
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: was injured and not playing. Michael Mayer at this point,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Why is he on your roster? Cut him, because Bowers
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: is back, and he looked great again last week. So
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: pointless to have him on your team. Just cut him.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he stinks, but get rid of him.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: So there you go. Hopefully your week doesn't stink, and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: hopefully you go out there and get a win.
