  Speaker 1: Well, we are fully in the NFL season now, so
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: we have reached the point of where we're hitting bye weeks, injuries.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: All of these things are happening, and they are affecting
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: our teams, your teams, and all that stuff. So we're
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: going to try to help you out with all of
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: that and let you know how round two of me
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: versus Thor went this past week in this week's episode
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: of Fantasy Freakin' Football.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: The one that hurts you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Did every guy on your bench go off? Did you
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: decide to set your top scorer because you had a hunch?
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Did your drafting a kicker in the first round strategy
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: not pay off?
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Then this is the.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Show for you. Now here to help you set your
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: lineups every week, it's Eddie and Thor with Fantasy Frickin' Football.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. The tale of fantasy has really been a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: roller coaster this year. I don't know what's going on.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: This year, for me and for you, the ups and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: downs are crazy. I mean, it's from week to week, really.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: And now I'm totally screwed, but we'll get into that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in just a second. So the previous week, Thor and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I met for the first time in one of our leagues,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and I got the W in that one. Now, last week,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: we played again in a different league, and this time,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you got the dub and it wasn't even close to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. You, you, you had a very
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: interesting week because in one league you played Bucky Irving, obviously.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: And then in another league, same thing where you sat him.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to go all in on him because
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: he's been so up and down. And then during the week,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: the offensive coordinator came out and said, we want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: get Sean Tucker more carries.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So I was like, yeah. So I'm like, Oh man,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it's just, it's just, And they were playing, shoot, who
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: did they freak out?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Cowboys.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: They're playing the Cowboys.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Thursday night football.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: So I'm thinking, okay, in Dallas, Thursday night, they want
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: to get Sean Tucker more carries.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: They were winless.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: They were winless.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: The Bucs, Sean Tucker and Gainwell both had touchdowns the
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: previous week. And I'm thinking it's going to be a
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: blowout and they're not going to run the ball. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: I have to start in one league. I'm not going
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: to start in the other.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Why did you have to play him against me, though?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Because I don't have another running back.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Because Saquon... And then.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I started Jordan Love at the last second over Kyler Murray,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: which helped me. But I started Mike Kosicki over Isaiah Likely.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah. So to finish the point about Bucky Irving,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you play Bucky Irving. He gets you like 40 points.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And it's Thursday night, too. So, I mean, I was
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: done after game one. I mean, I had no shot.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: That being said, though, last week on the early Sunday
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: morning game, I got like 24 points from Jonathan Taylor.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking, I'm sitting pretty, and then that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: was it for the rest of it. You just never know.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Trust me.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: That's how I felt. Yeah, I get it. I was
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: 40 down. It's the worst. You had one guy.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: Thursday game, I have three guys going on Thursday, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: I freaking hate it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I hate it. But anyway, sorry.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. So, Bucky gets you 40. But then, in turn,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: when you sat him in your other league, you had
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: 40 on the bench.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Which is awful.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: That's brutal.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I ended up winning in that league.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, you did? Yeah. Okay, well, then who cares?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: I'm in a position where I want– I'm in like
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: right in the thick of it. So you want those points.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: And that stuff will come back to bite you.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I'll take a dub though over anything.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I get it. I get it.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So it's tough. So you beat me by like 37
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: points or something like that. You mean it was a blowout.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: So I had no chance. I had no chance.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It should have been more.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah. So then your start last week at tight
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: end was Mike Gusecki. And I thought this was a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: brilliant move when he scored the touchdown right away.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I was like the third play of the game. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: it was the first pass by Burrow to Gusecki.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Touchdown. I was like, that son of a.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, perfect.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: And in my mind, Isaiah Likely, it was like hurricane
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: weather again for the third game in a row.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Him and Winston have been really off.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I just didn't... I was just bummed because Likely hasn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: really been Likely since week one.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And then he goes off for 32 points.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: He was the top tight end fantasy scorer.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he was on my bench.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And he was on your bench. It didn't matter. You
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: still killed me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But I get it. But it's just a.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: terrible feeling.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: When you're just like, you got to be kidding me.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: But you made pretty much all the right moves against
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: me in that, other than that. Other than that. Yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: picking up Jordan Love was a coup.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: I got a lot, I just, for some reason, I
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: was like, I know the last couple weeks the Bears
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: defense has been good, but I just still don't trust them.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: And it was in Green Bay, their season was kind
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: of on the line, and they took them out to
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: the woodshed, and him and Christian Watson just were all
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: over the place. And now, Jordan Love has The Cowboys,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: the Lions, like bad defenses. I kind of got lucky
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: there for sure.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And who did you play him for? Was it Kyle Murray?
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Who ended up getting like 18 points, but still not
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: with Jordan Love.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Jordan Love did way better. So yeah, it's been
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: pretty wild trying to figure this whole thing out. Well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: now in the league where you've just beaten me by 30,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I'm screwed. I mean, I am in massive trouble. I'm
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in last place. I won the first two weeks, and
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I was sitting– and I was like, okay, I'm going
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to kill it. And then the last three weeks I've lost. Now,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it hasn't been as bad as where I'm at now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: but injuries have just decimated this team. And so– and
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I have no move to make. I really don't know
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. So I'm sitting there, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'm projected– projected to lose– by 50 right now. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: haven't even played a game yet.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Like 50? I'm like, oh my God. So this is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: where I'm at. I got to read you this lineup
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: because this is how bad it is.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: It's rough.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Okay. So we're in bye week situation now. So, you know,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I know that we had the Chiefs and the Panthers
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: on bye last week. I don't, I think I have
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: anybody on either one of those teams. So it really
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: didn't affect me. I know it affected some people who've
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: got Mahomes or whoever, Kenneth Walker, guys like that, Ted McMillan.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But for me, it's really starting this week because we
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: got the Bengals, the Lions, Dolphins, and Vikings all on
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: by this week. And I have guys on, I think,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: every single one of those teams. And so I'm just
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: sitting here going, oh, God, I have no wiggle room
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: as it is because of injury. So I'm just like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I literally don't know what I'm going to do. Like,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm grasping at straws. So out this week for me,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I randomly have Aaron Jones on my team. who was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: one of my late pickups, or I mean draft picks.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I wasn't ever really expecting even to play him.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: But you kind of were forced to.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But then when Jordan Mason went down, and then I
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: had a couple of already guys that were banged up,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I was playing him. But now he's on by. So
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I don't have Aaron Jones on by. My number one
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: draft pick this week or in the draft, was Amon
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Ross St. Brown. He's down this week because he's on bye.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I made the trade. I talked about this last week.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I made the trade for Debo.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: And he got hurt.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And he gets hurt immediately. Game one. I'm like, really?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So I don't have Debo. I also have Brees Hall,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: who's been injured for now three weeks.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's not playing again, they just said.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I have Travis Etienne, Etienne, whatever you want to call him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He's on injured reserve. He's on injured reserve. I mean,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I have Marvin Harrison Jr. Who just got traded. Who
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: got traded, who's barely going to play this week. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that's my bench, okay? And then I also stored away
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Zach Charbonnet, and I've been holding onto him. Hopefully he
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: comes in and plays.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They're saying he may get activated in week seven.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Which it doesn't help me this week.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: No.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And so this is what I'm down to. So I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: have Josh Allen. He's my... My savior, he's the only
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: guy that's going to score points for me. It is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: what it is. So these are guys that I've either
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: pieced together or I didn't expect to play. I have
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Blake Corum, who kind of got a little bit of action.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: This past week.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: He didn't have that many touches, but he got a touchdown.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Why would you? Kyron Williams is killing it. So why
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: would you play Blake Corum? So I get it, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's who I have. I randomly, because I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: have no running backs after that, all my guys are hurt.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I went, who's out there? waiver wire who can i
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: pick up so i picked up keaton mitchell from the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: chargers yeah because omari and hampton is i don't know
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: he's done he's kind of a bust they're splitting carries
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: between the three backs.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: I don't understand hampton was supposed to be a really
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: good back yeah he's.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So mitchell i'm just kind of hoping he scores a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: touchdown for me because he's kind of that guy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: They said There's a report from ESPN right now that
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: if the Chargers offense doesn't look better against the Chiefs,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: then they're going to fire Mike McDaniel.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: How crazy is that? He was supposed to be like.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Him and John Harbaugh were going to take over the league.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: What the hell happened? I don't know, man. Then my
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: wide receivers this week are going to be Cortland Sutton
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and Makai Lemon. That's all I got.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Makai Lemon.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He was, again, I think he was my last pick. Yeah.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Just as a flyer, hoping big rookie season, whatever. That's tough.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: But now I have to play him because I have
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: nobody else. And so my tight end has been awful
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this whole season. And I was really big on Colston Loveland.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I really thought, you know, after last year. With Caleb,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he was going to have a big year. He hasn't
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: done anything. Literally, he's had one game where he had
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a decent game. Other than that, nothing. So he's my
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: tight end. And then in my flex spot, I have
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: to play another tight end because this is all I have.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So I'm playing Jake Ferguson there. Oh, God. So, I mean, literally.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And he's been terrible.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: He's been whatever. But I haven't needed him. He's a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: backup tight end for a reason. And so that's my
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: starting lineup.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: That's rough, Eddie.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Who are projected to score 90 points in a PPR league.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: So that's terrible.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Ferguson's having a rough couple games.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm done, man. So I don't know. I'm hoping
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: these guys come. You never know, man. If Brees Hall
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: comes back and a couple of guys get healthy, I'll
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: be okay. I just got to survive a couple of
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: bye weeks, and then I'll be fine, I guess. I hope.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: If not, I'm screwed. I'm dead.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: You just never know.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Thank you for that wonderful advice. Thank you. That was
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: a great feeling.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Like Omar Cooper Jr. It might be activated. Who?
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: Omar Cooper Jr. He's the rookie wide receiver for the Jets.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: If I'm worrying about it, if I'm picking up Brandon Cooks,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I'm dead. I'm dead.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Dylan Sampson may come back.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Get out of here with your terrible waiver.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I'm just trying to help.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want it. I'm done. I'm giving up. So yeah,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: it's not even going great for me. In our other league,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: our work league, I'm in first place. So it tells
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you where we're at. Up and down. And then in
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: my OG league this past week, I was the highest
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: point scorer. So again, I'm dead in the water in one,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and then I'm doing great in the other two. How'd
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: your week go?
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: I went, for the first time since week one, I
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: won in three of the leagues.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's good.
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Because I started out 1-0, and then I went in
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: two of the leagues, three straight losses.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And then in the other league, I'm 2-3, 2-3, and 4-1.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm fine with it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Aren't you in four leagues?
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I don't count the family league.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Oh, so you don't even matter.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'm in like fourth in that league.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: What?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It's eight teams.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, everyone's got a stacked team. Like, I don't
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: even count it. I want to win.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: But then I found out yesterday that it's not PPR.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, that's great. I wish I would
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: have known that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: You didn't even know? No.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I assumed it was PPR.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: So I drafted like a, so I had Puka Nakua.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: And I was like, why don't I have like 60 points?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: And they go, oh, it's not PPR. He thinks it's
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: half point.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I go, it's not.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: You don't even know?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He had 17 catches and I only had like 29 points.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: Oh, geez.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Yes, that was kind of annoying. So I could care
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: less about that league.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I gotcha.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to your questions for the week.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: You can hit us up on X at the show Eddie,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: at the show Thor, or you can email us your
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: questions every week and we'll try to answer them. Of course,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: we're in bi-week situation, so got a lot of issues
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: with that. Got a wide receiver question. Who to start
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: this week between DK Metcalf and Matthew Golden? Oh, man.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I'd probably lean Matthew Golden.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: He's been great.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been really good. And DK is so up
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: and down.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So you got Golden against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. Dallas'
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: defense is so bad. Yeah, DK's taking on Tampa. So, again,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Tampa's not great, but, I mean, it's not like Aaron
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Rodgers is, you know, lighting up the world and looking
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for DK.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: No, DK's really had one great game.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Great? Yeah, I don't know if he had a great game.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He had a pretty good game.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I'd go Golden.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Golden's been solid. I think he's been really good.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was looking at benching DK Metcalf. I don't
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: have another option for him.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in that spot in one league, too. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: got another fantasy question. It says, at the quarterback spot,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: who do you like this week between Dak Prescott and
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love?
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going Jordan Love. I don't think you can go
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: wrong with either, to be honest with you. But I
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: would take Jordan Love just because Dallas' defense is that bad.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And they're going against each other, so it's kind of interesting.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough. In my OG league, somebody dropped Dak.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And I went, huh.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Is there a reason? I haven't really, you know, like.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: locked in on his stats or anything like that this year,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: because I don't have him in my league or anything
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like that. So I was looking at him, and I'm like,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been terrible. I mean, he's been not one
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of the top fantasy scorers or anything like that. So
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I might pick him up. Yeah. Because my
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: quarterback situation, I have Caleb Williams, and so he's been down.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I say he may come back, though, this week. Yeah,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I've been playing Jacoby Brissett, who's been OK. I mean,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he's not great, obviously. But is Dak a better option
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: than Jacoby? Probably. And with Caleb still questionable, not sure,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I might pick him up there. And so, yeah, between
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the two, honestly, I don't know. I mean, it's kind
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: of a coin flip. You know, Jordan Love looked fantastic
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: last week, but it's not like he's been consistently great.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: No, I just think Dallas' defense is so bad that,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: especially now, like, I don't know why, somehow it's gotten
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: worse than it was in the beginning of the season.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: like it keeps getting worse and worse. They just brought
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: in Mike Patton as like a consultant. I mean, what
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: a nightmare.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know, man. I don't know. I think
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: in that one, I would lean towards Dak just because
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Dak has consistently put up better numbers. But I think
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you're okay either way, to be honest with you. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: like your theory on the, on the defense, but, but yeah,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a coin flip for me. You're
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: going to love this question. Running back start between your boy,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Cam Scadaboo and Romandre Stevenson this week.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Oh, Romandre Stevenson.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: You're done with Cam, huh?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I am kind of. Listen, the Giants can't run the ball.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, they went into this season and they were
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: going to be a punch you in your mouth, run
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: the ball offense, but they don't have a good enough
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: running back. They're not run blocking pretty well, but Cam
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Scadaboo is going to be a really good number two.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: The Giants are eventually going to draft a running back
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: or get one for agency, and Scadaboo is going to
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: be that punisher in the fourth quarter.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: As long as he's going to hold on to football.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's another thing. He's got four fumbles in five games.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: He's not a great running back. And he has one
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: touchdown on the year. Once Dart went down, it kind
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: of killed their running game. I would go without Travion Henderson, too.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I'd go Stevenson.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now let's think about matchups here, too. Because Giants
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: are taking on the Saints. Saints have been pretty poor lately.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Patriots are taking on the Jets, who have a pretty
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: good run defense. So there is a question there.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: To me, history goes into this. And the Jets get
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: owned by the Patriots. Because I thought about that. But
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: I just trust the Patriots against the Jets. And also,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: the Giants are going to have to change their offense
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: to a spread them out, throw the ball if they
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: want to score points.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I also like your theory, too. There's no Travion Henderson. So, Romandre,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: he's going to get the touches.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: If Travion Henderson was playing, I'd be like, he kind
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: of got to roll with Cam because Travion Henderson is
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: going to take up his snaps, but he's not playing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And they do seem to mix the touches in the
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: backfield a lot more with the Giants.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So, you got the other guys that are there.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is like the worst running back for him.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, what the hell?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: You have a bunch of C-level guys.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: C-level, yeah.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: And then Scadaboo is like C +. He's more personality
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: than he is production.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Dang.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Sucks.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Ouch.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: It sucks.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Stings. All right, let's get to our starts and sits
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: for the week. At quarterback, who's your start?
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: We just talked about him. I'm starting Jordan Love. I
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: think if he's available, pick him up. People dropped him
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: because he wasn't having a great start to the year.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: But his next few games are crazy against bad defenses.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Like I said, he plays the Cowboys. And then he
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: plays the Lions.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: And then he plays the Bills. These are all bad defenses.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm starting Jordan Love this week.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: My start this week, you're going to like. It's Jameis. Oh, no.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. Listen, you look at the Saints. This is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: all matchup. This is all based on matchup. It's a risk, man.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: The Saints are giving up 30 points per game. Yeah.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: So their defense is not good. And Jameis does feel
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: like he's starting to figure it out, get the passing
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: game going. Malik Neighbors, who was my start last week,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: by the way, had a big game. And so I
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: think that Jameis is starting to figure it out. He's
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: starting to play better. And I like the matchup against
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the Saints this week.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I hope so. I just, he's so inconsistent. Like,
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's any way he's the quarterback of
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: this team in a month.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: He's just so, like, in the first half of that game,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: he had 90.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: You don't think he looked better?
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: In the first half, he had 96 passing yards. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: he should have had multiple pick sixes. And they just,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: the Reds commanders just dropped him. But you could also,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: I hate people going, but he's slugging it.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Like, eventually, right now, yes, you could start him. But
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: in a couple weeks when they start playing better teams
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like the Texans, it's going to be a disaster.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But I also think you're looking at this from a
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: football win-loss standpoint, not fantasy. Yeah. This is what we're
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: talking about. We're talking about fantasy points.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: So that's all I care about. I don't care if
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you win or lose.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: This week, okay.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: That's with any player. No, I get that.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: This week I can see what you're saying with Jameis. Yeah,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: All right, who's your sit? Oh God.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Sit, bench, cut, get rid of them. Justin Herbert at
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Dude, they're going to be 0-6.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Oh no.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: The only good thing for the Chargers and your Charger
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: fans is if they keep losing, you're going to draft
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah Smith and you're going to have the best receiver
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: you maybe ever have had since Lance Allworth.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is unbelievable. Yeah. Like, so like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: that's the only positive that's going to come out of
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: this season.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My sit this week is the guy that's coming
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: off a really big fantasy game. Um, made one of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the biggest bonehead plays ever to lose the game for them.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But if you're thinking that Jaden Daniels is back and
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to put up big fantasy points for me
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: every week and all that stuff, relax. I don't think
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that's going to happen. In fact, I think the Commanders
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are going to get owned by the 49ers on Monday
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Night Football this week. And so I don't foresee Jaden
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Daniels having this big fantasy week. So to me, he's
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the sit. Running back, who's your start?
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: This guy has become like the best back in the
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: league in like the last couple of weeks. And it's
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: annoying because I drafted Rico Dalvidle. I'm talking about Jalen Warren.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: He's on fire right now. So I'd start him against
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the Bucs.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, my start this week is we're, for some reason,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: talking a lot about the Cowboys-Packers game. But I like
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Javante Williams a lot this week. The Packers have given
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: up the second most fantasy points this year to running backs.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And so, you know, Javante, he could be... hit and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: miss when it comes to yardage. He's always kind of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: their goal line guy. He's usually scoring touchdowns, but I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: actually think between the 20s this week, he's actually going
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to have a big game. So I like Javante a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: lot this week. Who's your sit?
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: I feel bad for this guy, and I hope he
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: gets traded eventually, but they won't. Jeremiah Love, man, he
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: hasn't even come.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Why do you feel bad for him?
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Because he got drafted by a team that should not
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: have drafted a running back. They're in no position to
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: have a running back.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: The coach.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: Gave him 12 carries.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You drafted him third. They're not giving him carries.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's not doing well enough.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I would not.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: I have him on one of my teams. He's really annoying.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch him right now. I don't know what's
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: going on there.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: He was my sit last week for the exact same reason.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: In the giant Cardinal game, he wasn't on the field
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: for the final drive. Like, huh? And he was your
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: third pick in the draft.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't understand it.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I don't... Unless we're missing something and, like, we're not
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: seeing something in practice or, like, he's just... I don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I don't get it.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: It just goes to show you with the draft, it's A,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: you never know who's going to be good, and B,
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: it's where you get drafted. Because look at, like, some
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: of these.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Like, Marvin Harrison Jr., he got drafted by a bad organization. Like,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: it's just.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Well, then you look at, in other words, like Patrick
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Mahomes gets drafted in the perfect spot. The perfect spot.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: It's all about, and this guy got drafted into a
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: terrible spot, and we all knew it when he got drafted.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: It's tough.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Mike said this week, we were just talking about it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Omari and Hampton at this point. who was probably a
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: pretty high draft pick for you. I can't play him.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: He's literally splitting carries with Keaton Mitchell and Kiami Vidal.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, what the heck? I don't even understand. How
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: could that be? This guy was supposed to be the guy.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: The running game was supposed to be much better because
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: of him. And you got Harbaugh there who loves to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: run the football, and he hasn't done anything. Nothing. So
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: until he shows me something, he's got to be a sit,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: which is brutal. at some point. Wide receiver, who's your start?
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Eddie, if he could stay healthy, you're going to like this.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Mike Evans against the Commanders.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: That game last week was incredible.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: 10 catches, 113 yards, that touchdown last week. He was unstoppable.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Commanders have a hard time stopping anybody right now.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: And that was against a very tough defense, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So I would start Mike Evans this week.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's a starter every week. My start this week
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: is a guy you're starting to see dividends from a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: little bit where you've been wondering, where the heck has
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: this guy been? I don't understand why he's not producing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Because he was one of those fantasy darling picks before
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the draft that everybody was wondering, oh, is this guy
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: going to have this big year? I'm talking about Luther
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Burden III. Luther Burden, again, he's been kind of non-existent
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: for the first four weeks. And then you started to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: see he had a decent game. But hopefully Caleb's back.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: And if Caleb's back tonight. They say he's going to play.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Then I like that. Then I like that. He's getting
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: more targets now. They're starting to utilize him a little
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: bit more. They're starting to see maybe Roma Dunze is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: not as good as we thought. I don't know what's
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: going on. But Luther Burden, I think, is the guy
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: this week. Taking on Atlanta, who is, again, not a
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: great defense as well. So I actually think he's a
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: good start this week. Who's your sit?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: This one hurts.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: This is by far and away first quarter of the
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: season bust so far.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: He could still turn it around.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: This is the one guy on my team that I
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: drafted that isn't injured, but he's just a flat-out bust.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: I'm talking about Jalen Waddell. He's been awful.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: He's had one okay game, and most of the time he's–
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: and I don't know if it's his fault or if–
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: Sean Payton just took over play calling, but they look
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: like they are over Bo Nix.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to Bo Nix.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: But there's been multiple times during the game last week
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: against the Chargers where Jalen Waddell is visibly frustrated.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: You heard when I was going over my lap, I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: have Courtland Sutton. That's not working out well for me either.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: No, I don't get it.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What happened? It's weird. I don't really
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get it either. My sit this week is a guy
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: who's having a great first quarter of the season. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: just don't love the matchup this week. I'm talking about
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson. Now, Garrett has been great, which is kind
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of surprising because the Jets aren't that good. And we
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: know Geno Smith isn't that good. But he's getting touches.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Now, the Patriots may be without both corners, though.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Again, we're not sure. That will help. We're not sure.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming they're going to play, but if they don't,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: that will help. But Patriots, it seems they've turned their
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: season around. I mean, we looked at them the first
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and you're like, oh. Boy, they're not good.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what's going on. But they've
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: looked a lot better the last few weeks. Defense is
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: playing better. So it just made me go, ooh, that
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: makes me a little bit concerned for Garrett. But we'll
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: see on that. Tight end, who's your start?
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: I'm never benching him again. Isaiah Likely. Now, because I'm
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: starting him, he's going to bite me in the ass
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: and suck.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: But you're right.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: They're playing the Saints. They're going to give up a
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: lot of points. I'm starting Isaiah Likely. I actually saw
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: him on a waiver wire recently in.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: One of my leagues. Oh, wow.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: But I think it was– I don't know. I got
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to go back and look because that would be crazy.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Well, it's so interesting seeing that guy on the field
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: because he's a glorified wide receiver. I mean, you see
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: him standing next to certain wide receivers and he's smaller.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, how is that guy a tight end?
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why the Ravens would let him go.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: And also, I don't understand why For four years, they
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: didn't realize what they had with him.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And it's the same coach with the Giants. Yeah, I
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: don't know. So you could have played this two tight
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: end with Andrews and likely.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, it's strange. I mean, he's
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: basically a wide receiver, too. I mean, have Andrews block.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. My start this week is Dalton Kincaid.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: You can clearly see that Josh Allen likes throwing to him.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I believe he finds the end zone this week. taking
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: on the Raiders. I just, the Bills are playing really
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: good football and they're coming off a huge high getting
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that win against LA. So I like Dalton Kincaid this week.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Who's your sit?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Eddie, I'm sorry. Jake Ferguson. He hasn't been great.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I need him to cut through this week. Come on, bro.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: I think this will be the, um, the CD lamb show.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: Maybe hopefully George Pickens for me gets a couple of catches,
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: but that's all Jake. But I don't think Jake Ferguson's
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: going to do much. I think I have like two
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: catches last week and, A lot of drops. He had
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: like two tip.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Balls in the air. One cost him the game.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: It's not his fault.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, they hit him in the hands.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Well, then I'm going to go with the tight end
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: on the other side, Tucker Kraft. Tucker Kraft seems to
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: be a little bit of the missing man syndrome. You
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: got Christian Watson there. You got Matthew Golden there. You
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: got a lot of mouths to feed. And so Tucker Kraft,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: he's got only one touchdown on the season. I don't know. Again,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: that game is going to be very interesting because we've
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: mentioned them, that game, players from that game. Multiple times
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: this episode. So I'm going to be, now I wasn't
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: really caring that much about that game, but now I'm
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: locked in because I want to see how my boy
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson goes off in that game. So we'll see
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: what happens. Hopefully you'll survive some of these bye weeks.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you survive some of these injury situations and you
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: go out there and get a win.
