Welcome to another meeting of the Fantasy Football War Council. I'm Jonathan, your God of War. Standing beside me are the Brothers of Destruction, the Brothers Grim, Daniel, and Mario. Council in session. Or shall I say bitching in session? Here we fucking go. Daniel: Yeah. Monday Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: night. Winning is Good: All my banners were green, I don't know what you're talking about. FUCK MNF!!: Talk Monday night football. Yeah, yeah. Well you and me were playing and you and your brother were playing, so you kinda whooped both of us. You whooped the shit out of both of us. Daniel: That's right. Yeah. One in each league. Winning is Good: Ha ha ha! Daniel: How's your heart after Monday FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel: night though, Mario? Because I know ours ours are broken as well as tormented. But how how is yours feeling? Winning is Good: man, it was rough. The kids are on break right now, so I barely got to pay attention. I was getting pings, and so I was missing some pings, catching some pings, and luckily Daniel was filling me in on Nate Landman and rescuing me and getting me the win with all of his acrobatics he was pulling out there, so that was wonderful. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Yeah. Daniel: Cook fumbled twice. Winning is Good: Yeah, I was so bummed I missed him in the draft, but I told Daniel, looks like he's still my boy. Daniel: Yeah. That's right. It and you know what? If he was your i if he was starting for you last night, that would have you would have won also. So yeah. It wouldn't it wouldn't have been Winning is Good: yeah, would have been close. It wouldn't have been close. Daniel: close if that was the case, yeah, for sure. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I feel ya. your brother was beating the crap out of me, so I didn't really feel I was kinda close, but every time like between you and me, We were countering each other with what was it? I had Dorian Williams and you had Greg Rizau. So every Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: time and and and here okay, this is where my mission will come in. This motherfucker's got nine tackles, all assists. Winning is Good: Yep. FUCK MNF!!: Do something your fucking self, motherfucker. Come on! Winning is Good: You know what? That's more than Greg Russo did until the fourth quarter. So I was like, I'm staring at a FUCK MNF!!: until he blocked the f Winning is Good: zero and this bastard over here just keeps ticking one more, one more, one more, one more, and I'm staring at zero. FUCK MNF!!: I was with it four points. Four points of you. Yep. Four points, then he gets a block field goal. And just as you get this block field goal, I'm getting a text from Robbie. You know, block field goals shouldn't be six points. And then he's you know, like he messaged me, he deleted the text to me, he messaged the league, he deletes the test to the league, and then he puts it in the league tech. Text 'cause he thinks more people would see it there. He should have left it in the league because more people would pay attention to it in the league text, actually. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: But it was funny because I saw it in two places before he actually placed it in the third place. He Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: really wanted to make sure that it was shit talking to me. Was like, I told you not to not to how we should at the beginning of the season we should change block kicks to six, and safety shouldn't be six either. And it's like, no, dude. A safety should be a six. A two-point conversion should be a six. Daniel: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: It takes the same. to get that two point conversion than it does to get the fucking touchdown. Six. So w Daniel: Yep. How often do safeties occur? Winning is Good: Yeah. Yep. FUCK MNF!!: So very rare. How Daniel: Rare. FUCK MNF!!: often Yeah Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: yeah. So very rare do safeties or two point conversions Daniel: Blocked kicks. Like it should dude, those are huge, those are huge game changing accomplishments. Winning is Good: And that the block the block kick is rare and that FUCK MNF!!: Block kick. Fuck. You know how get you know how fucking Winning is Good: It's FUCK MNF!!: hard it is to get by a three hundred and eighty pound pound of muscle to jump another seven fucking yards to put your hand up to block a fuel goal? No, no. No, no, no. Two points, two points is what that should be, is what I keep Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: getting in the text from Robbie. But like, you Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: know, I I I know that he got Jose out of that because Jose Jose has a few gri gripes on the league. but Jose originally had gripes when defensive players were in the league and he was a a member of griping on that one. So I'm sorry, Jose. I'm gonna call you out on that one there. but yeah, he Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: he he hated defensive players and we all played fucking defense. So no, no, no, no. I love defense. Defense wins championships. We're Winning is Good: Hahaha Daniel: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: the motherfuckers that were in the dirt, so Winning is Good: Ha ha ha ha ha! FUCK MNF!!: No, no. Yeah, we've been on a tangent. Yeah, we're on a tangent here. We're on a tangent here. Daniel: All the shade being thrown. Yeah. man. FUCK MNF!!: we got lots of news. and then Winning is Good: Bye. FUCK MNF!!: our week five battles. So jump, jump. Daniel: Here we go. My favorite bit of news for the weekend. Yeah, that's Winning is Good: cool let's bring in some offensive news after that Daniel: right. My favorite bit of news. Marvin Harrison has been traded to the Houston Texans. The Cardinals trade the third-year receiver and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Texans in exchange for a 2027 second round and seventh round picks. Arizona announced Monday the deal is official. And the physical has been passed, so it he's already been at practice the last couple of days and everybody's saying glowing things about him. So Yep. FUCK MNF!!: Well, Winning is Good: Yep. FUCK MNF!!: I would like to see him do better. Let's Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: say that. Winning is Good: they... Have you seen all the Arizona? Have you seen all the Arizona FUCK MNF!!: I've had praise and hype on this kid. I mean like I've watched Winning is Good: fan news? They're Daniel: yeah. Dude, they're t FUCK MNF!!: No. Winning is Good: going to the Houston Braxuses filming and going, this motherfucker was sandbagging us. He looks great out there. He's so good. He was like, what the fuck does he have against us? And it's come out now that he asked for accommodations that FUCK MNF!!: The throw Yeah. Winning is Good: he had when he was at Ohio State, and they wouldn't give any of those to him. FUCK MNF!!: And he went out and purchased himself. Winning is Good: So he felt like he couldn't practice to his potential. He's used to putting in hours and hours. And on top of that, any time any young receivers come in, he mentors them. He's been nothing but stellar when it comes to all that. And the Cardinals wouldn't let him do it on the field. And so he kind FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. it's cheap. Winning is Good: of took it personal. And so CJ Stroud knows what he needs. he put in the call and he's been actually calling to make Orion's and the GM there losing right now. All off season going, hey, you know what? That might be good to go. And so he's been in their ear and Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: yeah, it finally came through. So I think it should be good as a rejuvenation for him. And on top of that, I think that the Cardinals see They're not sure about Beck and they don't want him to play in case people go, he's great, we don't need a quarterback next year. I think they want to have a quarterback battle between Beck and whoever they get next year and secure because FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Winning is Good: they don't want to put all their eggs in one basket. And so this gives them the ammunition for that. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Well, even if Beck does well, he takes him out of a top pick that could replace Marvin. So, you know. Winning is Good: That's true too. FUCK MNF!!: I I I I I I can see why why they have issues. So hey, you know, good for them. They got some picks back. but hey, I really want to see Marvin do well. So I wanna see that dude thrive Daniel: Yeah, no. FUCK MNF!!: in Houston now. Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Just I wanna see him thrive, so Daniel: I mean i Houston only wins games when they have a good receiver in the Nico Collins role. That's the only time they win games. And Nico FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. And Nico can't stay healthy. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: can't stay healthy. So they're insert Marv. So I mean, the only issue is is that they've got three guys with the same body type with the same skill set as receiver now with Nico Collins and Higgins who they drafted this year, who they apparently love also. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: And then Marvin as well. Like they are the same dudes. They have varying speeds, but they're basically the same dudes. now FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: out of all of them, Harrison has the most talent, but they all have the same skill set to do the same things on the field, is what I mean by that. So Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: it it'll be interesting, but if he plays if he's like Nico Collins plus and plays that role, I mean he's gonna be phenomenal. But he just basically has to do FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: what Nico Collins does, which is his skill set. So and FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: Arizona never really played him to his skill set. So the potential there for him is nice. Like the more you look into the trade and it's like, FUCK MNF!!: It's a comfort move. Daniel: okay, it seems like a good move. I mean, we would have all loved to see him on a high powered offense or something like that, right? but FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. They're better moves. Yeah. Daniel: but this might be a really good move for his career. So we'll see how it goes. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, there are definitely Winning is Good: you FUCK MNF!!: better moves for his career. But yeah, I think safe. This was safe because it's his college quarterback. So it was the safe move. Daniel: Yeah. And I wouldn't have blamed his ass if he was sandbagging in Arizona with all the shit that they put him through for the first couple of years. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely not. Winning is Good: Well, we've heard for years how cheap they are. That people come FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Yes. Winning is Good: in from college and they're like, wait, this is a professional facility? And they make them pay for their snacks and everything. And just, yeah, so we've heard for years. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Well, and they're paying for food and everything. Mm-hmm. We've seen the report cards. I know they hate those report cards. We love those fucking report cards. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Those are great to read. I love hearing what players Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: have to say and I like seeing the players' opinions of who they think the best players are. Because that's way different than what we think. So I'd love to see that. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yep. Yeah. Winning is Good: And to tell you truthfully, I'm not so sure it isn't a high-powered offense. Stroud could be like a burro light, and Marvin Harrison could be like a chase Higgins with Marvin Harrison and Nico, and when Nico's out, then the Higgins in Houston could fill in. FUCK MNF!!: Look, I remember day one of him coming out of the draft and his measurables and everything that we knew about him, his potential was better than daddy, right? So Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: we just wanna see that arc. I wanna see that Winning is Good: Yeah, exactly. FUCK MNF!!: take off because I know what the potential is. I wanna see it though. I'm dying to see it. Yeah, you do. Daniel: I've I've got some personal skin in the game too because I he was my he's my first ever dynasty pick. First FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: first dynasty pick. Came around Marvin Harrison Jr., his rookie year. And I've had trade offers come my way, and I'm like, no, I'm ride or die with that first pick. The smart move would have been Winning is Good: Thank you. Daniel: if I would have traded him away a year or two ago, you know. But FUCK MNF!!: Send them off. We had offers. Yeah, offers. Yeah. Daniel: It you know, it was just kind of ride or die and he may disappear and not be worth anything even though Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Daniel: he was my first ever dynasty pick. Or dear Winning is Good: it. Daniel: God, let's hear let's see that career arc and maybe it's gonna pay off at this point, you know? FUCK MNF!!: Let's see it. Yeah. Winning is Good: I'm not. FUCK MNF!!: Well yeah, if he if he doesn't hit in the next couple of years, you'll be wondering, man, it was something, so Daniel: it it it it if he doesn't if he doesn't hit in two years then it's done. You know, then it's done. Mhm. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. You give two. Yeah, absolutely. Daniel: So all right. next bit of news. Winning is Good: Okay, now to someone we're a little less psyched about, but could make a lot of fantasy impacts. Tyreek Hill was found liable FUCK MNF!!: Could he? Winning is Good: for two counts of battery out of the 12 he was charged with. One stemming from an incident in January 2024, another from April 2025. The jury awarded Vaccaro, his ex-wife, with $500,000 in compensation damages, but did not award her punitive damages. His return to the NFL is still in question, but But insiders in the NFL say that the Chiefs are waiting to see what the NFL review team will suspend him for because they're pretty sure a suspension will come in to see what kind of offer they're willing to give him. But it's FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: almost done. But he may be a real life playoff versus fantasy playoff player. So he may not matter. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. I don't see him making it for fantasy Winning is Good: to us at all. FUCK MNF!!: yet. No. I but he'll he'll definitely be in the playoff window for the Chiefs, I think. Absolutely. Yeah, Winning is Good: Yeah, we'll see him this year playing. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: definitely. okay, so speculation from some keyboard warriors on social media after ex kicker Harrison Mevis was released from the Rams. Apparently the dude has thousands. Thousands of he follows thousands of OnlyFans models. The things that people pay attention to, you know? Winning is Good: This is from Leah. Daniel: Mm-hmm. That's what sells. Winning is Good: This is Leah. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: It makes you chuckle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When they when you like he loses his job and they go to look at his his social media and they're like, What are you following? wow. Daniel: Yeah. All right. Winning is Good: So now I guess his new nickname is instead of the Thicker Kicker, Big Chub. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Love it. Winning is Good: You FUCK MNF!!: Love it. That's awesome. You know. Winning is Good: Thank FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, you know, when you when you you keep your eyes on the right uprights, I guess. It it Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: it it keeps your focus. So and that we should give that same advice to Justin Herbert. So yeah Yeah. Daniel: So you're th yeah, you you gave me that Winning is Good: I was thinking the same thing. Good job pulling that in. Daniel: that visualization that he had there where he's kicking the balls. Yeah. All FUCK MNF!!: thank you. Thank you. yeah, yeah. Yeah. Daniel: right. Rams left tackle Ulrich Jackson suspended two games for striking Bradley Chubb following Monday night's game. Yeah. They were in an altercation and he just socked Bradley Chubb in the face. And FUCK MNF!!: They were trading jerseys. They were doing a jersey trade. And something was said and he just straight punched him and his hat fell off. Huh. Yeah, and the Daniel: Yeah. Yep. And he's like, What just happened? Winning is Good: Yeah, and then, FUCK MNF!!: other guy turned yeah, he turned around, he's like, You know Winning is Good: So what sucks about this is the week prior, they faced the, or what was it, sorry, the first week of the NFL, he tripped Fred Warner. Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: Fred Warner was walking and then he was still on the ground, saw Fred Warner and visibly stuck his leg out and tripped him. And... FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Winning is Good: A bunch of teammates were upset, no one really... Fred Warner didn't even realize. He thought he just didn't see where he was looking. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: And so Fred Warren's like, yeah, you know, I reviewed the tape because my friends were all telling me that dude tripped you. And so then this is a pattern of him being a little dirty like this. And the NFL just reduced it to only one game suspension. And I'm like, really? Because I figure they did. They'd review more film to be like, does this person need more leverage against them to teach them a lesson? Because we don't need this kind. We don't need star players sitting out, not selling jerseys basically, from a money perspective. And so if he's gonna be doing this, he could cost a lot of money to a lot of people and we don't need dicks in the game. FUCK MNF!!: No, absolutely not. It's there's no place in the game for it. So Yeah, it's pretty pretty shitty. Winning is Good: Yeah. So, hurtful news. Patriots running back. Treveon Henderson will miss a couple weeks. Multiple weeks. That's hammy news, right? Or was it growing? FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. I meant to switch that. yeah, I think I think it was growing. I think it was growing. Winning is Good: Yeah, that's right. So luckily in one league I have... What's his name? Ramontre. So that's looking great for me in the other league. Daniel: Room Andre. Mm-hmm. Yep, me too. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: in Gods of War, yeah, this sucks for me. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: I got another one. I got five people to put in my three slots of IR. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: It has been a brutal year. yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: look, because I'll tack on since we didn't have this in the news that Jalen Hurts is the fifth person I have to put in IR Daniel: that's right. Winning is Good: because of his growing. So he's going to miss at least one game. Daniel: N I read it was blood clot. Winning is Good: you're right. The initial Daniel: He had a blood clot. Winning is Good: report was growing, but it is a blood clot. So we don't know how long he's going to miss. FUCK MNF!!: God. God. Blood Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: clot. In the Daniel: That's like that's like limb slash life threatening depending on where it's at, you know. FUCK MNF!!: Yes, it is. Daniel: So Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: it'll be really interesting to see what's going on with that. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, they Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: get into like muscle. I mean, like, cause you know, I mean, shit, that's bad. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: man. man. Okay. our final bit of news. Dre Greenlaw was ejected during the first half of Sunday's game. 32 29 win for headbutting Seattle linebacker Ernest Jones after he delivered a late hit on the sideline, on the Seahawk sideline. Winning is Good: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: Yeah. They're they're both on defense. They're both defensive players. They shouldn't be seeing each other on the field. So they were on the FUCK MNF!!: No, no no no no not whatsoever. Winning is Good: Yeah. He's... Daniel: sideline talking shit and he headbutt him in in front of his entire team. Yeah. Winning is Good: I picture Tombstone right here with this. Yeah, I picture Tombstone with this in Doc Holliday FUCK MNF!!: Things you shouldn't do on the opposing sideline. You know? Yeah. Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: after he shot Johnny Ringo. I mean, it's like, you're just too high strung. Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: Picking a fight with Sean Payton one week and then this dude, simmer down, simmer FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: down. Your team needs you to play. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. All right, before we jump into our battles, there was another trade. And I think there was another one too, but I didn't look back. they're just they're deals are being made in our league. Okay, so Kuiper Belt Soldiers trades away. George Pickens, a fourth round 2027, and an eighth round 2027, and receives a ninth round 2027, and a second round 2028. Smart and it goes to Rusty, Winning is Good: Mmm. FUCK MNF!!: it goes to Justin. So Rusty the hobo just acquiring players, trying to move Daniel: Pickens. FUCK MNF!!: up. And honestly, I love it. Trophy, buddy. Trophy. It's a first. I don't care if you're first, Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: second, or third. It's a first. I love it. man. That's cool. That's cool. Hey, why Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: do we I think we're a week away from that five becoming a seven with Garrett. Winning is Good: Yes, he's been out. Yeah, FUCK MNF!!: I mean it's happening. He's not coming back. Yeah, he's I know. Winning is Good: there are memes now of him ignoring Sean McVeigh's or said, yeah, I'll come back when I'm ready. It just I didn't realize the beaches were so nice here in California. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Riding Disneyland on Space Mountain and shit. Yeah, that's funny. I can see it. That's funny. Winning is Good: Hehehehehe Daniel: That's right. He li now lives in the same city as his girlfriend. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. No no travel. No distance. Well man. Daniel: No distance, no travel, guess to enjoy LA and the beaches and all that. Yeah, that's hilarious. That's why you know what? That's why FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, it's been something. It's been a year. I love it. Winning is Good: You Daniel: they brought Donald back just to hold down the fort while he's off enjoying Los Angeles. And then he's gonna he's gonna get himself in shape FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah, so that actually that's what So they Daniel: enough that when they're both on the field all of a sudden it's gonna be really good. Winning is Good: Yeah, so what FUCK MNF!!: Man. Winning is Good: I'm hearing is that Lesnead already had assurances that Donald was going to be coming back if they did this trade because their medicals showed that Garrett's knee was not good. So they made sure they had film crews filming workouts where he pushed through the pain so that they could put that out there, but they knew he really shouldn't be on that knee. And so this is something they knew and they believe in themselves to make it to the playoffs and they think with those two players, they can hit that hump through the playoffs to the Super Bowl. So that's what I'm hearing. FUCK MNF!!: If the healthy. my goodness. Yeah. I mean, that's a that's a murdered all quarterbacks. Defense wins a Super Bowl. Don't need an offense. So No, I mean Winning is Good: Yeah, and they won't have film on it. Daniel: And they just happen to have a really good one. Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: one's gonna hit the quarterback, one's gonna pick up the ball and run it in for a touchdown. And they'll go, Do Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: you want this one? No, you take it. You got the last one. Ha ha ha Winning is Good: Yeah, you see, you see Aaron, Aaron Donald turned to Miles Garrett. What's your wingspan? OK, you grab these MFers over here and I'm going to dart right on the side over here. Just bear hug three at a time. FUCK MNF!!: Nah, they're gonna fucking haul the hands just clothesline Yeah. Fuck. Daniel: Not to not to mention Fisk and Young, you know, that's the those are the guys they're Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: gonna start to eat coming up here because they're good and you gotta double both Mo Garrett and Donald. Right? Like you can't Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: I hope so. Daniel: so one of 'em's coming free or is singled up on a running back or a tight end and the other one is one on one. And those guys will beat one on one or FUCK MNF!!: I hope so. Yeah. Daniel: a tight end or a running back all day long. You know, those are the guys that are gonna Winning is Good: Yes they will. Daniel: eat. FUCK MNF!!: As someone that has young, I hope so, because he he's letting Donald do all the work in my opinion. So Daniel: Mm mm. Winning is Good: Right now, when Garrett comes in, whoo! Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, I know. Well, when I need it. That's all. That's all. Just, you know, when I need it, you know. It's only my art and play. Daniel: They just know that you know what? This is an Aaron Donald workout. That's that's what's happening right now. This is an Aaron Donald workout. This is him getting ready, yeah, and and and FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. He's warming up. Yeah, he's warming up. Daniel: warming up. So he's like, just just give me give me these FUCK MNF!!: Wait till like Halloween. Daniel: double triple teams so I can get back to what I was and then and then FUCK MNF!!: Right. Daniel: by the time he comes back healthy we'll Winning is Good: you Daniel: both be better. FUCK MNF!!: I'll have the line while you're rushing the quarterback. And the quarterback's like, please, no. You're gonna have them all miced up and Daniel: Mm. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: they're running for their life. That should be interesting. All right, let's jump into the battles. in our first battle Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: of the evening, Hercules huge sock descended from Mount Olympus and did the gods' work. Absolutely demolished Annie's house in hair and nails. 273.8. To 243.56, Rob's Temple has not been touched a victory since week 16 of last season. The second to last game before suffering that defeat. That, you know, wasn't he wasn't in the ship, so it doesn't matter. That's a long drought, folks. And just when Rob thought the gods might finally smile upon him, he posted, you know, he was the fifth highest score this week. He fought against. You know, he would have beat Ada of the managers. He had to go head first into the highest score of the week. So the fantasy gods have a cruel sense of humor. Vince sent Rob Packen for 30.24 points and his efforts, claiming this week's coveted Massacre of the Week award, earning only his second win of the season. Vince unleashed his army of. Absolute Monsters led by the gifted Joe Burrow, who delivered a scorching 38.4 points, only Winning is Good: Thank FUCK MNF!!: passing for just 190 passing yards, but four passing touchdowns, and even ran for two first downs. Joe Cool didn't move a mountain of yards, but he dropped some touchdowns, like Zeus dropping lightning bolts. James Cook feasted under the Monday night lights. Fuck Monday night. For twenty-seven point eight. Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Christian Watson terrorized the Bears. Thirty-seven point eight. Isaiah Likely absolutely detonated a ridiculous thirty-nine point nine for tight ends. That's just crazy. Even with our full point for tight end. When your tight end is outscoring. Most people's entire flex positions, you know the battle has gone sideways. even Vince's lowest scoring, Nico Collins, Mac Wilson, and Drake Thomas only managed ten points apiece. It's still ten. His worst performances were still double digits. Somebody checked this man's roster for divine intervention. Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Annie's house of hair and nails was giving Vince you know the proper fresh cut and full manicure he needed but apparently forgot to Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: check the scoreboard before opening for business. to be fair, Drake May finally remembering who he was and doing Drake May things, 48.86 points. Drake may be Drake May, Drake May. Unfortunately, the rest of the Warriors apparently left their weapons at home. Winning is Good: you FUCK MNF!!: And here's the truly painful part. And he still posted the fifth highest score of the week and lost. Javante Williams ran wild for 17.1. Golden Boy Trey McBride erupted 27.6. Braylon Edwards made a serious statement that he wants the running back job, 23.9. And Justin Jefferson apparently found himself in a love connect connection with a midget, emerging with 16 points. Three Winning is Good: Yeah FUCK MNF!!: of Annie's defenders also delivered at six seventeen points. So there were warriors on both sides of the battlefield here. But then came the casualties. Jalen Waddle didn't even clear five points. It was like four point five. Byron Young apparently decided to let Aaron Donald do ever all the heavy lifting. limping home with just seven points. And Kool-Aid McKinstry was not so cool. And was not the Kool-Aid man. with only seven points of his own. a monster performance from May, a solid supporting cast, and the fifth highest score of the league. All wasted. Because Vince had the chosen army of Ares. Congratulations, Vince, on win number two. Enjoy your visit to Annie's house in Hair of Hair and Nails, because you certainly left a fresh cut with a few a few less scars. and to next week's opponent, be friendly. You know, the doors are always open, the chair is ready, and then the welcome ad is out. Just be careful. The establishment has been known to welcome his guest with open cheeks. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: Yeah FUCK MNF!!: And that is me this week. He's playing me. I can't be the guy to give him his first fucking win. Daniel: Mm, spoiler alert. dude, poor Justin's gotta be kicking FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, I I'm checking out. I'm checking out. Daniel: himself. Winning is Good: Yeah Daniel: he dropped Drake May. We were texting about it, and he was like hate dropping Drake May, when he did because he's been he'd been so bad for the first three weeks. And FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Yeah, that's Daniel: and then Robbie picks him up immediately and and he starts going off. Such a bummer. Such a bummer. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: Sorry, Justin. That ooh. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I so we we we've had the realization already on the podcast that I drop players and they boom. So I've done the math and those that I've drafted you know, or traded for we're not booms. But the drops are booms. So here's to my wife for just picking up D B masses on the Oakland. 'Cause he put up a two and I hate dropped him this week. And yeah, Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: I know about the hate drop because he's probably gonna boom for my wife next week. I know Daniel: He he will. He will. Yeah. He's gonna he's gonna put up thirty 'cause he's he's put up twenty a couple of times. FUCK MNF!!: And then he put up a two when I needed him the most. Yeah, thank you. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Thank you. Thank you. I do thank my wife for I mean that's yeah, we're we're gonna get her over. We're just all over the map here. Daniel: Yeah. She's Winning is Good: in. Daniel: gonna go look how our baby's doing. All right. All right, on to our next host on host violence. We've got Plague of Anubis versus Smighty Mighty Bostones. And here we go. Mighty mighty Best Owns takes the win, as we said earlier, with the only winning manager here. FUCK MNF!!: Saddle pitch. Daniel: handling Yeah. Winning is Good: kept it stressful. Daniel: The the the host curse continues for two years now. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Solid too. Daniel: Yeah, solid. Plague of Anubis, a tough eight point six point loss. Smitey Mighty Bass Stones was powered by Jacoby Brissett's thirty-two point six eight points. Jacoby Brissett's San Marvin Harrison Jr.'s thirty-two point six points. Kyomi Fairburns twenty. And DeAndre Swift's 18.6. Tuckercraft added 16.3. Well, the lineup survived a rough outing from Debo Samuel, who managed just 5.9 points. Plague of Anubis, and some had some defensive heroes of its own. Sonny Styles is starting to get his footing, putting up 23 points. Chicago defense put up 22.25 despite allowing 31 points. And Evan Williams, good pickup, John. I'm sad that you have him. Added 21 points. Unfortunately, Bo Nick's two fumbles, one lost, helped limit him to 9.22 points. Well, Amarian Hampton just managed 7.7 points. Even George Kittle's ten point four couldn't quite get the offense over the finish line. The bench offered a couple of missed opportunities. Smitey Mighty Baston left Jalen Hurts on the bench, which ended up being a good move. Well, Plague of Anubis is ki Turpin scored 14.9 points. Neither would have changed the outcome by themselves, but Every point mattered in this close matchup. Smitey Mighty Bastones escapes with the victory, and Plague of Anubis is left counting the points that slipped through his fingers. The Fantasy Gods giveth, the Fantasy Gods taketh away, and apparently they have a particular grudge against Plague of Anubis' quarterback situation this year. Winning is Good: You FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, yeah, yes they do. And I'm gonna share even more and to make it even more fucking hilarious. So in my text, because that was a trade last week to acquire Bo Nicks, right? Daniel: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm FUCK MNF!!: I acquired Bo Nicks. Justin's joke was who you gonna go get? Jacoby Brissett, who was the number one fucking waiver that I would have gone and got. Winning is Good: That's right. FUCK MNF!!: so Winning is Good: Hahaha! FUCK MNF!!: but I you know, I'm thinking like, you know, no, no, what happened? What happened? No, Mario got him and fucking sh watching those points hap yeah, watching Winning is Good: And I used him on ya. FUCK MNF!!: those points happen, I'm thinking, Well could it be me and I traded for these eight fucking points? Yeah, fuck Bone X. That's another motherfucker's Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: getting hate dropped. Talk about hate drop, that motherfucker's getting hate drop. All right, so Winning is Good: Hey, it's in his name. Nix that motherfucker. FUCK MNF!!: Nick's that motherfucker. Nick's that motherfucker. Dude, I watched an Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: interview of him in d during his press conference. That motherfucker is aged for a young kid. I can tell you he does not look good. He is aged for a young kid. So yeah. Dude, look over your shoulder. Something something's wrong because fuck you suck. And Daniel: Sean Payton's his head coach, man. That's what's going on. FUCK MNF!!: Sean Payton sucks. That's what's that's what's going on. Yeah, I don't know why Denver did that one. So Daniel: Well, they just beat Seattle tonight also, so FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, I know. I watched that shit. That fuck that was a shithole to watch. Winning is Good: Well, from, I am hearing some stuff about Bo Nix and Sean Payton that there's been some bad blood between them. And so FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, I believe it. Winning is Good: that's why he handed off calling duties and why he's done all this because he knows what the crop is next year for quarterback. And he wants someone to be a yes man for him and do what he's telling him to do. And FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: Nix is... He's got a lot of personality. He's got a lot of pride on his own and, Peyton doesn't want to, he, he was serious about that ankle injury and stuff too. So yeah. He's so, from what it's sounding like Denver's not aiming to go very far in the playoffs because they want at least to reach for somebody in the draft for quarterback. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: So watch out for that next year in the draft. Denver's a sneaky quarterback grab. FUCK MNF!!: I they need it. They fucking need it. Fuck Bo Nicks. Motherfucker. Winning is Good: Alright, on to our next matchup. Daniel: I'm sure Minnesota would take him. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: Here we go. Daniel: huh. FUCK MNF!!: They're winning with Winning is Good: Verthracknis Vengeance. What's Daniel: They're winning with defense and a run game. Hmm. Winning is Good: that? Daniel: Yeah. They're winning. They are winning. But it's not because of Kyler. They're winning because of defense and a road game. Yeah. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Fuck no. Sixteen points to their number one wide receiver? No, it ain't Kyler. Winning is Good: You Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: I, Kyler looked better this week. He finally looks like a starting quarterback. Before that, I was like, my gosh, just go, just go and get your lifetime life insurance and health insurance with baseball because you don't have it here anymore. And FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: this week he actually looked like a starting quarterback. And so, It's looking like it just took him a little while longer and Maybe he starts picking up a little better and doing a little better. We'll see Yeah, we'll see how he does but yeah, he was scaring the hell out of me for a while there Because he's my only quarterback in dynasty. So yeah FUCK MNF!!: I had him in the Chop League and I dropped him 'cause, you know, he didn't play the first two weeks, so Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. Winning is Good: The way O'Connell wants to play safe offense He's gearing back from top 10 QB for whoever's playing for O'Connell to FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: 16-18 QB playing for O'Connell because he thinks that with Flores they can win that way. Inside? Yeah, it looks true. So we'll see. Daniel: Yeah. But the thing is, is like if they What if in this strategy where you're winning on defense and you're mostly trying to tie kill the clock on offense but put up a couple of points, you incorporate that quarterback and turn him in kind of like an option quarterback. And you Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: use this guy's leg talent more than his mediocre arm talent at this point in his career FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: and boost that. But they d Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: they're not really running him instead. They're not being creative Winning is Good: No. Daniel: with the skills that they have, which would fit that team fantastically if they leveraged his legs. And FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Yeah, especially because they have Aaron Jones and Aaron Jones shouldn't be putting so much mileage. He's one of the most efficient running backs in the entire NFL. He always is when he's healthy Daniel: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: and he's getting older. FUCK MNF!!: And they are putting usage on him. Yep. Winning is Good: And if you could do options with Kyler and Aaron Jones and you could use that efficiency on both of them, defenses would have to work a lot harder and then you'd automatically get touchdowns with with JJ because FUCK MNF!!: Well, you're you're also leaving more tread on the tire for Aaron in playoffs and beyond. Daniel: Playoffs. Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. 'Cause right now you're gonna run him into the ground as is, and they need to be sp you know, spacing him out with running with Kyler. Yeah. Absolutely. And it'll break up the defense more. Winning is Good: Yeah. So if... Daniel: Yep. And at that point, when every team starts getting Yep, exactly. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Daniel: It's gonna thin out on the back end for Justin Jefferson and Addison. So you got those deep bombs every now and then because they're gonna break coverage and they're gonna break coverage FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: deep, you know? And then Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: run the ball with some creative run plays. You've got Kyler would be a top running back in the league if he just was a running back with the way that he moves, right? And so FUCK MNF!!: He has the potential. He's done it before. Yes. Daniel: That would be good for the team and good for fantasy. He would rack up so many freaking points. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: But Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. Absolutely. Winning is Good: Alright. Well back to our matchup. No, no, no. It's something that comes up in a lot Daniel: Sorry, rant over. What happened? Where were we? FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Winning is Good: of fantasy shows because FUCK MNF!!: Don't even remember. Winning is Good: everybody sees it. So everyone started knocking KOC down on their tree now because they're like, if we're all seeing it, what's going on? Yeah, I don't know. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. It's easy. Yeah. Winning is Good: But all kinds of almosts out there. So let's talk about another almost in this next match. FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: Vera Thragna's vengeance faced off in a tight matchup against Rusty the Hobo. for their third straight win. Rusty the Hobo fought valiantly and scored the third highest score this week with Jameer Gibbs and the Jets defense putting up 44 points a piece and Kyron Williams and Zaire Franklin putting up nearly 24 each as well. However, 3.17 points separated the win from the loss and Rusty the Hobo stole that Spartan Shield trophy away from Jose this week said not FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: this week I'll save you from it just this once and yeah Justin We'll have to use it and hang it up on the wall instead to remind them that whenever Devontae Smith is out, you have to play Goddard. Instead, they put Ferguson in. Jake Ferguson came up short and Goddard would have gotten him the win. This one was one of the only close battles this week as ass whoopin seemed to be handed out at the ready. Count yourself lucky Justin and to Ali. You already know you're a lucky bastard but I congratulate you on being the third highest score so far this season. His team continues to put up monster points and he continues to rack up wins so he's one to look out for. FUCK MNF!!: That's fucking dirty, dude. I it's wow. that's so gross. we gotta move on. Can't even stay on that boat. I don't know if all right, so this Winning is Good: Alright, tell us about some ass whoopings out there, John. FUCK MNF!!: one is a true ass whooping. And when I'm finished Daniel: Dang FUCK MNF!!: with this, I have another stat too. The gods have spoken. Rezilla rises. In a monstrous battle between two of our finest gods, only one stood tall. The Hail Marys descended upon their opponent with the fury of Olympus. While the victorious Valkyries apparently forgot what day it was, Ray's Hail Marys obliterated chassis and the Valkyries 229.64 to 149.45. A eighty point one nine point annihilation. Earns this week's Conqueror of the Week Award for the biggest blowout, knocking a monster down a notch and reminding the league that the Lopez house is not to be trifled with. Meanwhile, after taking the beating from the entire Lopez household, Chass earns this week's lowest score of the week award, which is officially banished to Hades. The award nobody wants, but somebody has to wear. And honey. I want to say what happened, but I also want to say thank you. You took it because I was the next Lois. Let's start at quarterback. You've been absolutely screwed by Deshaun Watson. And we know there's a class action you can join Winning is Good: you FUCK MNF!!: to get on that one. 13.4 is just criminal. And there were so many better options on the waivers at the start of the week. but we won't get into that. Only two of your 13 players scored over 20 points. And Most of the rest were single digit disasters. This is just a heartbreaking loss to witness. A proud Valkyrie reduced to picking up the pieces after a fantasy football hurricane. But Chas, I must thank you again. you took that, so I I thank you. I didn't I didn't I I couldn't take that. I don't want another one. I've already had that. But back to Ray, a Packer fan led by a cowboy. What could possibly Winning is Good: Hahaha FUCK MNF!!: go wrong? Dak Prescott. That's what went wrong. Dak stunk up the battlefield with 14.64. But it was still better than Deshaun Watson. So I suppose Ray will take a tiny victory and limp away. Now back to the conquering hero. Ray's Hail Marys came ready for war. Aaron Jones, as we spoke of, he did get hurt, but before he did, he managed to put up 23.2 points. that man That man's body has a season subscription to the injury report. Drake Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: London is loving life with a real quarterback hauling twenty point eight, although d Penix got hurt too, I think, right? Daniel: Yeah, he he has a rib injury, but he's practicing fine. FUCK MNF!!: Okay. Tyler Warren absolutely went nuclear, 27.1. while the old man himself, Devontae Adams, showed he still has plenty of fight left in him with 20.6. This team came to conquer, and conquer they did. Or put it more clearly, my wife got absolutely steamrolled by RayZilla. The victorious Valkyries couldn't get anything going this week. And A team that looked like a monster has now fallen to three and two. Meanwhile, the Lopez household stands tall, flexing its collective muscles against my wife and declaring to the rest of the league we own you, or at least to my wife. Congratulations, Ray, you didn't just win a battle, you turned a fantasy football matchup into a natural disaster. The Hail Marys have spoken, and the Valkyries have fallen, and the new beast has emerged for the from the ashes. All hail Rezilla, conqueror of the week. And honey, I love you. We should hive hide your waiver wire password for f until further notice. Winning is Good: Yeah FUCK MNF!!: She was the lowest and I was under two hundred as well. And every single other team scored over two hundred points. Cheers. Daniel: I think her her lowest score point this week was it's like only twenty points less than your winning score total from last week, right? FUCK MNF!!: Shut your fucking ass. Winning is Good: Ha! FUCK MNF!!: Tall talk from a man with only one win over there. Daniel: I scored over two hundred points this week. FUCK MNF!!: But did you win? Yeah, Daniel: No. I have had no FUCK MNF!!: yeah. Daniel: luck when it comes to that. I am being well outscored this week in the points against column. Yep, that is high. Yep. And I I could be doing better. Yeah, I I think I'm like the fifth FUCK MNF!!: It's crazy. It's crazy. Yeah. It's just crazy. Daniel: like the fifth highest scoring team in the league and I've won one game this year. You know, I don't expect to be doing well, but middle of the pack would have been nice. You know. But yeah. FUCK MNF!!: It's crazy 'cause we have we have a big monst Winning is Good: you FUCK MNF!!: we have a couple of big monsters. We have an undefeated team still. you know, it's and then then you have you just the rest of us just trickling in with one and two wins. Yeah, we're like trying to limp into something. Daniel: Or g yeah. Doing horrible. Gotta pull off some mm hmm. Winning is Good: Yeah, but it's it's kind of all still up for grabs because you look at Vince and he was the most dominant team this week. But FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Winning is Good: he's been racking up the losses and the low points. So FUCK MNF!!: That was his second win this week, yeah. Winning is Good: it's just the way the points are swinging and the way it's just been very unpredictable this year. So. FUCK MNF!!: Defenses are way different. Winning is Good: Yeah, so it's just, know, fantasy's built off luck anyway, but... FUCK MNF!!: We all win linebacker and everybody went D Vs are the top one right now scoring and it's Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: crazy the the the how the brackets and what they do yearly, so you gotta stay with the flow and be on top of your waiver wire and Daniel: Yep. Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: Move things around. Speaking keg ha FUCK MNF!!: And kick it punt return points matter. Daniel: yes they do. Winning is Good: Yes, they do. Daniel: s speaking of undefeated team, team the one takes the win two hundred and forty-one point six four to two hundred and thirteen point five nine, putting up a monster score and handling owl formation with a twenty-eight point five point. Point deficit. Owl Formation had some absolute beasts in their lineup. Jared Goff scored 34.14. Derek Henry added 30.8. And the Ravens defense chipped in with 25.25. That's a serious foundation for a winning week. But CD Lamb's brutal 1.9 point performance and RJ Harvey's 1.0 per Left some major holes. Team the one answered with Jameis Winston slinging it for 32.74 points. Sam Laporta rumbling for 23.3 points. And a huge defensive showing from Kyle Hamilton at 2.21 points with a gift wrapped interception from Kyle. To a Tonga Vialoa. Garrett Wilson added 21.4 points, while the Seahawks defense contributed 22.8. The IDP squad was basically running a full-scale raid. The verdict. Owl formation scored enough to beat plenty of other teams this week, but the one brought the fantasy equivalent of an entire Viking army. The Owl has landed and it is. And and this time it got absolutely blitzed. FUCK MNF!!: given his first loss. Jess's team is Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: literally a monster. We were talking, and I'm like, it's a great team. Like you you see some star studded on it, and you're like, it's just an old aged veteran team. Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: For a keeper league, you're like, okay, well, who would you keep? Like, what would you do? But you're like, she literally went like all in for this year. Was not thinking Future. She's just like, I want a chip. Put my name on that new nice trophy. So Daniel: Yeah, at number two Winning is Good: That's right. Daniel: I should have done the same, but that's okay. Winning is Good: Hahaha! FUCK MNF!!: You're Daniel: I will be I will be fielding FUCK MNF!!: not the only person thinking that. Daniel: first round picks for f for Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: one of my keepers by the end of the season. Winning is Good: what Daniel and I had a talk about that for yeah FUCK MNF!!: I have no offensive keeper. I may do that. Daniel: Yeah. Winning is Good: Daniel and I had a talk about that and then he was like yeah Daniel: Jeremiah Love could be possibly yours. Winning is Good: I'm pretty sure that Vince is gonna get, sorry, that Martin's gonna pick up Puka Nakua with his first round pick. And I said, yeah, I think so too. And I said, and if you don't pick up Josh Allen, I said, you better have a good reason for it. So then we started talking about it back and forth and he was like, yeah, well, you know, I really want a good solid keeper. And so I'm gonna grab Jeremiah Love for next year. And yeah, I think anyone who didn't pick up Josh Allen's kicking themselves. Daniel: And then I didn't expect JSN to be the monster he is. Right. Yeah. So I was ex Winning is Good: And then Derek Henry next. Daniel: I was expecting regression from JSN FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Daniel: is the thing. Not just last Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: year was the start of his prime. So now at this point FUCK MNF!!: Me too. No, me too. Yeah. Daniel: I would be better to be trade away Love rather than trade away JSN because Love might be worth three first round picks in three years, but JSN is a top player in the league right now. So you know, how's that? FUCK MNF!!: You'd be giving somebody a championship if you give away, so Daniel: Exactly. And, you know, his prime could last six years. It could last eight years. He's a young guy. He he FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Little longer. Yeah. Daniel: he works with technician, you know, rather than you know, using his physical benefits. And receivers have longer primes than what running backs do. So I'm FUCK MNF!!: Mm-hmm. Daniel: I'm unless if Jeremiah Love just all of a sudden starts Doing absolutely amazing by the end of the year. Winning is Good: Mm-hmm. Daniel: it shook up my plan because JSN's a better player. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. Daniel: So yeah. And so I do kick Winning is Good: Yeah. Daniel: myself for not drafting Josh Allen or Kenneth Walker at two, who was another option that I had going there. but it is what it is. So yes. There may be a sale to guarantee you have Jeremiah Love. Yeah. Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: I can tell you I have one of my first four picks on my team right now, so It's it's a kick in the Winning is Good: Yeah, same. FUCK MNF!!: ass what you can do, you know? So Yeah, it's a kick in the ass. Daniel: Yeah, you lost Hampton, so end of the year. We'll talk we'll talk. Winning is Good: Okay, so speaking about giving away wins Apache gorillas collected their fourth straight loss from saving Ryan's privates in this healthy 235 to 202.19 beat down yeah, almost as many points as Josh Allen. We're separating these two. Speaking of whom, both teams left everything out on the field. Rob played his optimal lineup and Daniel. only could have closed the gap by two points if he played his. FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Winning is Good: Uncle Rob scored seventh highest this week, but the difference in score between seventh highest and first highest was only 38 points, showing how tight the top half of our league has been. Michael Mayer and Jeremiah Love. were ones who let down Daniel and they let him down hard. Michael Mayer didn't even put up two points and Jeremiah Love failed to put up ten. On the flip side, Uncle Rob will continue to look for strong performances from the aforementioned Josh Allen, Bucky Irving and Jamar Chase. That triplet FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Winning is Good: is carrying him as the rest of his team is bunch of ups and downs and why he ended up the seventh score with those three players. So he'll be hitting the waiver wires and continuing to strengthen his team to try to battle the monsters like the Lopez family, Owl Formation, and maybe Vince if he's team got it back together. So we'll see what the future has to hold for him. FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. Yeah. another how did we let that happen kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. I forgot to mention Mark. But you'll be talking about him coming up next. FUCK MNF!!: Art and speaking speaking of which, in our final battle, yeah. The Aztec warrior rises. in our final battle of Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: the week. I gotta get my voice ready. yeah. Daniel: Yeah, we gotta put some respect on it unfortunately. Winning is Good: You FUCK MNF!!: Aztec warrior. And Martin certainly fought that one. the Aztec warrior decimated Kuiper Belt Soldiers in a kind of devastating 237.8 to 207.61, a 30.19 point beatdown delivered by a Raider fan, which honestly I think that kind of makes it worse just entirely. Just Martin is still earning that deep voice and taking down opponents like nothing stands in his way. Sitting at four and one. This warrior is looking more dangerous by the week. Leading the charge was the most unlikely of quarterbacks to go nuclear. Aaron Rodgers came out of a hole and respectively scored 32.2 points from his ayahuasca camp, right? Winning is Good: Mm-hmm FUCK MNF!!: Zay Flowers and Ashton Genty chipped in 12.8 and 12.7 respectively. Nothing too spectacular there, but when your quarterback is slinging points, your opponent can't keep up, so it's cool. you meanwhile Puka doing Puka things, exploding for 34.1, and apparently kickers have decided they're tired of being the forgotten child of fantasy. Jason Myers turned into a star. Of the Halloween Horflick and stabbing his way into 28 points. that's right. I said 28. And I can confidently say Jason Myers outscored every single player on Jose's team. Yeah, let that sink in for a second. Winning is Good: Wow. FUCK MNF!!: Kicker outscored his entire 13-player roster. Yeah, yeah, yeah. so let's visit the power station squad, shall we? Brock. Purdy, the leader of the Power Station squad, had a respectable 25.66 points. A solid performance. But unfortunately, the rest of the station Daniel: Mm mm mm. FUCK MNF!!: could not generate enough electricity to keep the lights on. Next up was George Pickens, who Jose traded away this week. He put up 26 points in that final battle for him. Talk about an awkward breakup. Pickens basically walked out the door, turned around and shouted, You sure you don't need me anymore? so Carson Swissinger, because you know, mentioning that name really hurts me and Daniel every time we say it, put up twenty Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: four points Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: before suffering a grade one ankle sprain against the Jets. Daniel: It hurts less now that I have Jacob Rodriguez on my team, I do have to say. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's Sonny Styles. You know, I get it. But still, could've been Carson sitting next to Sonny, so Daniel: Yeah, that's true. Winning is Good: Okay. FUCK MNF!!: Ugh Man, yeah, it really does hurt. but you know, the the fantasy production is another reminder of what could have been. Beyond the Tampa Bay defense putting up an absolute ridiculous thirty four point nine five points for him, the rest of the team wasn't exactly wording right worth writing home for. congratulations, Martin. You earned this one. You took down Jose, claimed the victory, and now sit at four and one, looking every bit of the part of the contender. But here's the question hanging over the battlefield. Is this the shame of the Raiders creeping into fantasy football? Is Martin's squad the real deal? Or is it kinda like, you know, watching the fraud? I'm making jokes over Raiders here, guys. Come on, so Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: stay tuned, Mortals. We'll find out on whether this warrior is marching toward glory or headed to a spectacular collapse. Better luck next week, Jose. keep your head up, brother. I'm still rooting for ya. Winning is Good: You Daniel: Nice. Yeah, it was an interesting week. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: It's been an interesting season so far. FUCK MNF!!: it is then quite a season. I we gotta have like an injury tracker of like how many injuries we really have compared to other seasons, so Daniel: Well I was I I was listening to a podcast and they said at week three or was it week four? It might have been week four. At week yeah, FUCK MNF!!: We talked about that, yeah. Daniel: at week four it's already the same amount as what is at week nine. Yeah. Yeah. Nuts. It's nuts. FUCK MNF!!: Was more than like nine or eleven. Yeah. Crazy. It was double. I just I'd love to know continuing tracker of that 'cause we are just it's every week it's something we have a list of so Daniel: yeah. On my on my dynasty team I've just stopped putting players in IR and just they're just riding they're they're FUCK MNF!!: Mine's full. I don't know what you're talking about. I need more room. Daniel: just riding the bench at this point because there's IR's full. Alright, they're just gonna ride the bench. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. We should have an out c competition of who's got more on the bench. Yeah, more outs on the bench. Yeah. I Daniel: Out Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Out or doubtful. FUCK MNF!!: know so many. It's ridiculous, but yeah. It it opens up for some interesting players. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be nice. Gotta see Daniel: So many. I might be getting Caleb Williams back soon. I'm happy about that too. You know, Penix hasn't been doing too bad filling in, but he's he's been serviceable. And to think I almost traded him away this summer. He's saving my ass right now. Yeah. I was high FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, you were s you were selling Yeah. Daniel: on him because of this reason, and now, you know, I'm keeping him until freaking Mendoza starts playing. Yeah, that's right. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. that's why I got him. Yeah. Yeah, that's smart. Move from Panix to Mendoza. I like that. I like that. Daniel: So all right. and then this week's Loki's lucky finds offensive player was Jameis Winston with 32.74 points. man, it definitely helped our resident monster Jess. Honorable mention was for Mario's Jacoby Brissett, who barely scored under with 32.68 points, and Martin with Aaron Rodgers with Thirty two point two points. Thirty two was the number. FUCK MNF!!: It was 'cause I had the thirty one point one nine and I'm like, I have this. And then I saw the thirty two, the thirty two point six and the thirty two point I'm like, Holy shit guys, come on. It just kept getting better, but it never left thirty two. So it was Daniel: That yeah. Yeah. Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: like it's interesting. I like that. It was totally worth the mention. Daniel: Mm-hmm. And those are all kind of like streamable quarterbacks right now 'cause you know, we're FUCK MNF!!: Absolutely. Daniel: supposed to be in a quarterback revolution and quarterback has been the most volatile position this year. It has been brutal. Dude. FUCK MNF!!: Fuckbonex. Fuckbonics. Speaking of I'll have to mention I like twice more before this episode's over, so Daniel: Just we just gotta get some consistency there. Even the high scoring guys. You look at I mean, you look FUCK MNF!!: Fuck Bone X, yeah. Daniel: at Jameis Winston's, right? Seven, twenty six, thirty two. So at least his his has got a little bit of a pattern to it, but FUCK MNF!!: Well w yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well. Daniel: Other ones are just brutal. And then this week's defensive player of the week was Brandon Jones. Picked up by Uncle Robert. Put up twenty three point three five points because return yards when you intercept count. FUCK MNF!!: Yes. Yes, they definitely do. All right. last week in the pick'em, as Mario said, it was pretty horrendous for him with one and six. me and Daniel were three and four each of us. So the tie stands. Daniel: You got you. You got you. Winning is Good: I got me. FUCK MNF!!: That's okay. We got you flop with us. It's like I like the stats. So me and Daniel said at twenty and fifteen. Winning is Good: That's the only one I got was me. FUCK MNF!!: And Mario you said at fifteen and twenty. So you're you're not far off. You're not far off. let's let's see how these games go. Daniel: You got a gripe right now. FUCK MNF!!: I know it says I'm low at this moment. I gotta say, you know, when you look at my team and how they're playing though, I'm loving these players that I got because I've been on the waiver wire like crazy lately, and all these players are just booming. So they're gonna shit on me this week when I need when when I need the most. 'Cause Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: I don't want to give Rob his first fucking win. I cannot give Rob his first fucking win. I have talked shit that Daniel: You can't. FUCK MNF!!: I've beaten this man. And now he beat me because of Monday night in God in our in in our dynasty in Disney because of OT. I had it by point six. Winning is Good: You Daniel: Know the feeling. FUCK MNF!!: And then OT happened, and Josh Allen got to keep throwing that ball down the field, and all Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: he needed to do was piss on it to get enough points for fucking Rob. So Daniel: Yep. FUCK MNF!!: I'm sad, you know. Fuck Monday Daniel: No the feeling. FUCK MNF!!: night. That's why my label is fuck Monday night. But I'm gonna pick me because as you said, I picked up Williams. He's killing it for Green Bay right now in the defensive part. Nixon was another pickup and he's doing great. Bush has been my my steady ten plus points a week, so you know, he has not gone down. And I'm playing every one of my wide receivers slash you know, they are all kick return and putt return specialties Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: specially. So I'm going hard into you know the what was it, the Tyler Lockett role right now. We'll call it in this league. Daniel: Mm. Mm. Hey, it pays off sometimes. Good. I just don't think it's gonna pay off this week. I think you're gonna be the first victim. FUCK MNF!!: yeah. yeah. Fuck fuck you. Fuck you. Man, that's just so dirty. I cannot give I cannot give Mario and Raw both their first wins. Cause then that really just hammers me down into last place underneath both these guys. No. No. Cause Daniel: I mean that that would be poetic, wouldn't it? FUCK MNF!!: now I'm gonna have to go make a trade this season just to stay above these motherfuckers. I need one of Daniel: It's g it sounds FUCK MNF!!: them to get their name on the trophy, not me. Daniel: It's okay. Winning is Good: Well, you did pick a mascot as God of the underworld, so we're just putting you where you belong. FUCK MNF!!: Yes. Sure, sure, sure, Daniel: Yeah, let's try. Stay down there. I am barely squeaking FUCK MNF!!: sure, sure. Yes, you go down there. Daniel: ahead of you guys, so I should not be talking, but yes. FUCK MNF!!: yeah, no, and it it can flop very quickly. I understand that, but still like yeah, I need something to happen. I need something to happen. No, it hasn't happened since. Yeah, it hasn't happened Daniel: Mm. I won week one and I felt great. And yeah, that hadn't that hasn't been Yeah, yeah. What does it what does it taste like? Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: since it's been too long since I've won. I can't tell you myself anymore. I don't remember. Daniel: Exactly. I can't tell you exactly. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, you don't remember. There's too many there's too many losses ahead of me here. God, Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: why are people no one's listening to us, let's be honest. Winning is Good: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: yeah, so I'm gonna pick myself and and say fuck Rob. you guys are both going rob, so thank you. Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: next battle. Daniel: I am going with alright, let's go. Let me read it out, my bad. we have got Smitey Mighty Bastones versus Verothragas FUCK MNF!!: Gross. That's so gross. Daniel: Vengeance. And everybody including Mario thinks that it's gonna be Ali. FUCK MNF!!: play Justin. yeah, sorry. yeah, I'm I put all I and it's kinda Daniel: And then yeah. FUCK MNF!!: gross. That's why I'm saying gross over here because Daniel: Yep. I mean, we all know where our hearts are, but yes. let's see. Next battle Hercules' huge sock versus the victorious Valkyrie's. We all decide chass across the board also. And FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: yeah. you know, there's some there's some matchup things and some buy things. FUCK MNF!!: She's got a waiver here, yeah. Daniel: And but I saw that what she's got and what she could pick up and I think that she would probably take it. Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: It's definit it's definitely changed. No, I'm I I like what she's done and she got she's got Daniels back. Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: We lost Mario. yeah, he's we got she's got Daniels back. I I think she's she's gonna start turning around and get another wins. Those two last two l weeks have been rough on her. Yeah. Daniel: Yeah. I agree. All right, next battle is myself, Apache Gorillas versus newcomer Justin, Rusty the Hobo. We've been texting a little bit this week about it and we just did a trade last week. So I face f Olacoon this week and he faces Golden and and then I was able to pick up Nick Imagori and so I have Imagine and Rodriguez as my keepers now, so I think That might continue to bear fruit for FUCK MNF!!: You know? Daniel: me. FUCK MNF!!: And I should've given him Bush and kept Franklin 'cause Franklin's boomed, man, I Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: tell ya. And Franklin I was considering the tag and I'm like, I let that guy go and he was gonna be a tag, son of a bitch. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: So yeah, it's kinda sad. It's kinda sad. I I gotta go Justin because y he's just stacking these players and trades and it's not hopes that I'm wanting his pick to go up 'cause I think he's gonna hit third at least, so Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: he's got a dang good team. But yeah, there's 'cause Daniel: Yeah, he keeps on improving on it. FUCK MNF!!: well, I see see here. Jess Jess has got that that top team, I think. I so I think she'll be she could possibly be our chip this year, possibly cross play, possibly. knock on wood for her. Yeah, knock on wood for her. She wants a championship Daniel: Yeah. Possibly. Your wife is due also. Chass is due also. And FUCK MNF!!: name on this trophy, and I said it'd be nice to get you on the first of this new one, right? That'd be like a statement, but Daniel: Yeah. Yeah. Jess is due too. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, she is. But you know, they both have had their names on that Star Wars trophy a bunch. So Daniel: Yep, yep. FUCK MNF!!: need to think they started all from one team. Daniel: That's right. FUCK MNF!!: next up, the Alf we did Alf Formation versus the Hail Marys. Daniel: N we have not. we didn't say who's gonna win mine. I am just gonna Yeah, Mario FUCK MNF!!: I said j yeah, Justin, sorry. Yeah, it's just kinda Daniel: Mario's Justin. I'm just gonna take myself because it's a habit at this point and FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, I didn't I it's what I did, what's I think it's what he's doing who, so no. He didn't even pick himself. He didn't even pick himself. Yeah. Daniel: We'll keep going here. No, he chose Ali. Yeah, I think sorry, he didn't even pick himself. Owl formation versus the Hail Marys. let's see we all went Allen. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, went we all win Allen, but Daniel: You know, b Ray's got some pretty bad buys this week, so FUCK MNF!!: He does and he hasn't hit the waiver wire yet. Daniel: Yeah, he's gonna do it Saturday mornings, which there's not there might I guess it's just as much the likelihood, but there's less that on that waiver wire by that time, so I went ahead and chose Alan. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. There's less on that waiver wire. Yeah. Yes, sir. Me too. Yeah. Daniel: And FUCK MNF!!: For that very reason. He may get you may get lucky. Daniel: Yeah. Kuiper Belt Soldiers versus saying saving Ryan's private. FUCK MNF!!: You know, I'm gonna change. God I really I wanna It's so hard. I want I I really want to see Jose do well. And I constantly just root for this man. And he's getting these losses. Maybe I just gotta root against you, Jose, and you'll win. Rob, here we go. I did I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Yeah. Yeah. Daniel: Yeah, that's a good way to go about it. Yeah. So funny. FUCK MNF!!: Rob, Rob, here we go. all right, and our final battle. I'm an Aztec warrior. How deep Daniel: Mm-hmm. FUCK MNF!!: can that voice get? Please! Team the one. And I think it's about as deep as it's gonna get this way. Daniel: Mm-hmm. Hey, you know what? Five and one or four and one versus five and that's our heavyweight match for the week. All right. FUCK MNF!!: Mm. Absolutely. I mean, what would okay, so five and four and one. Yeah, one and th one and four, three and two. two four and ones. Daniel: Out Alan and Ray are from four on one. FUCK MNF!!: Alan and Ray. Yep, Alan and Ray are two four and ones. And then that's it. Like everyone else, three and we have two, three and two three three and twos. And then the rest of us are two and three, one and four, one and four, or we have our own five up in the corner. So Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: who's gonna get his first win this week against me apparently. So fucking motherfricking Daniel: We'll have to see FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Daniel: Yeah. FUCK MNF!!: God, I'm feeling that like just maybe brought to Earth this week. I need I'm thinking that I'm inching here. I really was originally thinking Jess and I've been th just every week throwing Jess out, but I'm gonna inch and I think Martin may be stepping up. I think Martin actually has got something here. He's got a really good team. Daniel: He does. I'm gonna stick with Jess. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Bowers. He you know, picking up Bowers. He's rocking his Bowers and Genty stack, but like, yeah, Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: Bowers, Mc McMillan, I mean like Puka, he's got such a killer team. Daniel: Yeah. And Puka's getting back like he's getting stronger. You know, FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. Daniel: yeah. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah. And Myers kicked ten points tonight. So he got Daniel: Mm. FUCK MNF!!: ten tonight from him and Nick Bonito got ten point five. So her Seahawks put up twenty points. So they kinda like paired at twenty points each tonight, but still, yeah, I don't know. I'm liking her match his matchups more. Although funny enough, his quarterback is playing his defense. Rogers plays Tampa Bay. So kick his ass, Tampa. Sorry. Daniel: We're so bad. We're FUCK MNF!!: Sorry, Martin. Daniel: so bad. FUCK MNF!!: Yeah, we're we're terrible. We're terrible. I know. Okay.
