- 0:58You already know. Let's just start off with the
- 1:01injuries here because there was a lot of them.
- 1:03Before I hit the list, we mentioned a couple
- 1:06in the preview episode that aren't on the list
- 1:08for some dumb reason. Sam Darnold. He's out for
- 1:10a few weeks. He's hoping to be back by week four.
- 1:13That's it. Gosh darn it. There was another one
- 1:18and I've forgotten it. So we're going to go Brown.
- 1:20We're going to go to, Oh, AJ Brown. Yes, there
- 1:21it is. There it is. With a high ankle sprain.
- 1:24Yeah. Nasty son of a gun. Uh, anyway, uh, yeah,
- 1:29those things linger too. That's right. It could
- 1:32be a while. Um, Philadelphia, the freaking Eagles
- 1:37guard. Okay, let me lock in here. Landon Dickerson
- 1:40to the IR, no good. He came out and said pretty
- 1:44much like, yeah, I didn't play good. It just
- 1:46wasn't good. I said I'd come back when I was
- 1:48100 % ready, and I just am not. So, IR. Kyler
- 1:53Murray, that's no, I mean, we know. If you haven't
- 1:56seen the video, go watch it. Watch it live speed
- 1:58first because you're like, oh, my God. Like,
- 2:01he might have died. But then you slow it down.
- 2:02It's like, at least it was shouldered ahead,
- 2:04which is still not great, right? Shouldered ahead
- 2:07ratio is not that far. Right, right. But I feel
- 2:10like if he was slightly taller, that's a shoulder
- 2:12to chest situation or something. You know what
- 2:14I mean? So, getting glad he didn't get. kicked
- 2:17out, but who knows who's going to start for the
- 2:19Vikes. You assume it's Carson Wentz. 100%. But
- 2:21he was getting banged up towards the end of that
- 2:23game as well. Does 9 come back and decide to
- 2:26take his spot this week, Dom? 9! Does not. 9!
- 2:309! He could have definitely just left it at 9!
- 2:339! Even if Wentz blows the first half? Yeah,
- 2:38100%. He has to get hurt. He has to get knocked
- 2:42the F out, Dom. After what I saw in the preseason.
- 2:45Kind of like last year when he was Was it the
- 2:48international game when he was just getting absolutely
- 2:50beat the heck up? And he's just like, yeah, I
- 2:53can't feel my arm, but I'm going to go back out
- 2:55there for you. Because he knows. All right. Rams
- 3:02edge. We already mentioned him last episode,
- 3:03but Miles Garrett needs knee surgery and he's
- 3:05set to miss at least four games and is going
- 3:08on IR. Ravens receivers Zay Flowers and Jacoby
- 3:14Lane. Zay is day -to -day right now after re
- 3:17-aggravating his old hamstring, and Lane will
- 3:20miss a few weeks with that fractured wrist at
- 3:23least. But you're not really worried, you were
- 3:25saying. No, not too worried. You liked what you
- 3:27saw. Yeah, I liked what I saw. I like some of
- 3:30the depth that they have there, and I like the
- 3:32wrinkles that Declan Doyle has in that offense
- 3:35so far that I think is going to still keep teams
- 3:38on their toes. Are we going to miss Zay Flowers?
- 3:40Absolutely. But we're going to see a whole bunch
- 3:43of Derrick Henry. Did you watch the Giants game?
- 3:46Yeah. I was just curious. Yeah, I watched the
- 3:52Giants game. Likely had a great game. He did
- 3:55have a really, really good game. So did Patrick
- 3:59Ricard. Oh, yeah, he did. And, I mean, he didn't
- 4:02have any, like, stats to show for it, but just,
- 4:05like. Just him being there. Yeah. His presence.
- 4:08His aura. Miss it. Shoot. All right. Anyway.
- 4:12So I was just. Curious. The Rams tied in Brock
- 4:16Bowers' day -to -day with meniscus trim. I was
- 4:19going to look up what that meant, and I didn't
- 4:20do it. Does anybody know what that means? Meniscus
- 4:23trim. Not a clue. Mine is just messed up. It's
- 4:27not trimmed. It's messed up. It's not like you
- 4:29just go and get your hair cut, and then you're
- 4:31back next week? That kind of trim? Hold on. I
- 4:35was actually banking that. One of you ding -dongs
- 4:38would know what this means. Meniscus. What? Trim.
- 4:43I'm a podcast commentator, not a doctor. Okay,
- 4:47here it is. Oh, it's a surgery? What? It's a
- 4:52quick keyhole surgery to cut out and remove a
- 4:55torn piece of cartilage in your knee. Oh, so
- 4:57he's just got a little bit of cartilage in the
- 4:58way there. So they're just going to drill a hole
- 5:00with a D -Walt drill right in the side of your
- 5:02knee socket there. And they're going to rip that
- 5:07loose cartilage right out of there and you're
- 5:09meant. And then you've got to order one of those
- 5:12rubber plugs and plug the hole. It's good. You
- 5:17can come to my hospital. You don't need health
- 5:20insurance from the hospital. I operate on anybody.
- 5:24No. I'm just kidding. That's a joke. Yeah, disclaimer.
- 5:29It doesn't really operate on anybody. That's
- 5:31not a carrier license. Yeah. All right. Good
- 5:37thing we're doing tent talk. Good job, fellas.
- 5:40We're close. It was close. Kev, you didn't even
- 5:42join in the tent. Talk. There it is. There it
- 5:46is. I got it. There it is. Spotify listeners
- 5:50are tripping right now. They're like, what is
- 5:52going on? Football drivers are going crazy at
- 5:54this moment. Dom specifically. Come over to YouTube.
- 5:58You'll see what we're doing. Still trying to
- 5:59drive. Check it out. Check out the YouTube, the
- 6:01tube view. Yeah, okay. The Chargers receiver,
- 6:04Ladd McConkey. He's day -to -day with a rib injury.
- 6:08Hurts a fantasy team. And then Keiondre Lambert
- 6:10-Smith also down for a little bit of time as
- 6:12well. So we're going to. We're going to see the
- 6:15Dargers. The Dargers. Yeah, it's going to be
- 6:17the Dargers. The Dargers. It's going to be the
- 6:20Dargers. The Chargers receiver depth not looking
- 6:24hot at the moment. McConkie's a really big blow
- 6:28to that offense. For sure. That's why. But he's
- 6:30day -to -day, right? But if it's a rib injury,
- 6:32just keep him out again. Day -to -day rib injury.
- 6:35It hurts to breathe with a rib injury. I'm a
- 6:37day -to -day rib injury. That's fine. I can do
- 6:40that. The Jets. Receiver Omar Cooper Jr., the
- 6:45rookie, is week to week with an ankle injury.
- 6:49Also, Jets also missing Minka Fitzpatrick, who
- 6:52went down with a groin injury, which could also
- 6:54be a nasty one and a lengthy one. Atlanta D -lineman
- 6:58Deshaun Hand suffered a season -ending torn quad
- 7:02that requires surgery. I can't imagine what that
- 7:05must feel like. Nobody here has torn a quad?
- 7:07No. Kev, you torn a quad? Or a hammy? No. No?
- 7:11Oh, God, that just sounds horrible, to be honest
- 7:13with you. Also for Atlanta, their O -lineman
- 7:17Chris Lindstrom, who I think is an All -Pro,
- 7:20he picked up a concussion. So Atlanta picking
- 7:23up a couple. uh doozy injuries here uh coming
- 7:26out of week one let alone Tua, who had that back
- 7:31issue, right? Tua, who? Right. And then Cooper
- 7:33Rush aggravated or got some sort of back injury
- 7:37as well. This week they're having open tryouts
- 7:39for quarterback. No kidding. No kidding. Like,
- 7:42oh, my God. Invincible. Dallas linebacker, DeMarvian
- 7:46overshown, could miss a week or two. They're
- 7:50also going to be down safety Malik Hooker with
- 7:53a wrist injury or arm injury of some sort. I
- 7:56don't know. That's all the details. fine on him.
- 7:59Houston linebacker, Henry has a shoulder injury,
- 8:09which has not placed him on IR yet, but it definitely
- 8:11still could as of typing that earlier midday
- 8:15here. He was not on IR yet, but he could be.
- 8:19Any other injuries that I've missed? Vikings
- 8:24came out pretty clean. They did? We'll take that.
- 8:28Well, other than the big one, right? Oh, true.
- 8:32Which Jedis was not happy about that. But anyway.
- 8:35So news, I don't really have any news. But, Rob,
- 8:38do you have any fantasy minute for the folks,
- 8:40for the listeners? Just to throw it, because
- 8:42it's off the top of the dome here. I know. Well,
- 8:44we were talking about Lane earlier. In some leagues,
- 8:47he was a deep keeper. You can drop him now. But
- 8:50with some big weeks out of, like, Swift, Montgomery
- 8:53had some really big weeks. Receivers were kind
- 8:57of quiet. There were some teams that obviously
- 8:59the highest scoring week one in history. So there
- 9:03were some fantasy scores if you got a couple
- 9:05of them on your team. Probably big pickups this
- 9:08week. Singletary is probably going to get picked
- 9:10up in most leagues. He might not be there. I'm
- 9:12trying to think of the other. Maybe the Cincy's
- 9:14backup running back starts with a P. Oh, yeah,
- 9:19I know who you're talking about. Other than just
- 9:22big injuries, you've got to think about on the
- 9:23quarterback side. P. Ryan. P. Ryan. So, I mean,
- 9:28that's just the way it is. And then you kind
- 9:30of saw there's a few offenses, you know, that
- 9:33it'll be interesting to see how they pick up
- 9:35Carson. Carson Wentz. I think Brock. I mean,
- 9:38I wouldn't pick up Carson. I think Brock Hardy's
- 9:40a sleeper this year in fantasy. I saw him use
- 9:43his legs against the Rams. I mean, he was scooting
- 9:46around there. I mean, I have my fantasy. That's
- 9:49it. He's like, man. Rob was waiting for the,
- 9:53like, he's got to have something. Here he goes.
- 9:56I'm botting on the Christian McCaffrey. Sell
- 9:59it to the people. I love it. Christian. Hey,
- 10:01right on. Hey, nothing like a quick tent. talk
- 10:05here for Banter with the Boys. That's all I have,
- 10:08unless you have some news. No. No news. That's
- 10:13it, folks. That's it for this episode. I almost
- 10:16said it again. My arms are getting sore from
- 10:19all that scolding from the weekend. So much of
- 10:23it. I'm surprised I didn't see either of you
- 10:26on television, because the CBS Sunday broadcast
- 10:29crew was down at the stadium. I didn't see either
- 10:33one of us. I was not at the game. I can't afford
- 10:36that crap. The pregame show was literally outside.
- 10:42Right next to the ship. I thought you guys were
- 10:47Vikings fans. Yeah, I guess. We shut up since
- 10:50we couldn't go to the game. Farmer. He farms
- 10:55his hobby chickens. He's got a barn. Don't let
- 10:57him fool you. He does have a tractor. I've seen
- 11:00it. Well, pause. Anyway. Brought to you by John
- 11:04here. Anyway, yeah, we got to wrap this up because
- 11:09this is pure nonsense now. Dom, thanks for being
