• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is Marcus Grant, his name is Michael f. Floyo, and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we are here to talk about Michael lef florio Stardom
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Sind Them column. You can find that at NFL dot
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: com slash start sit. I know that you put that
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: out every single week and there's no hate or discussion
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: at all about it. If people just accept that as gospel.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the comments are always super friendly.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I look forward to reading them each week.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's just sort of nice, relaxing reading. Sit down
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on the couch and let's see what the Internet has
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to say about things, because the Internet is always complimentary
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all the time. We will have the top starts and
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: sits of week three. We'll have some of the biggest questions,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and of course we're gonna open up development ropes and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: see who gets at the club dub who's gonna score
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you twenty five or more Fantasy points this week? But
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: let's get started with the quarterback position. Taking a look
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: at these starts and sits for week three.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You got Tua tongue of I LOOA against the Broncos.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: I think Kirk Cousins is a great start this week.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Jared Goff as well, especially at home, and then some
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: sits little spicy with Trevor Lawrence there. I'm not ready
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to start Jordan Love just yet. And Matthew Stafford. I like,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: only if you're kind of handcuffing into Joe Burrow right now.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Otherwise I think you.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Get a weak Maybe I'm crazy, like I'm big on
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford this week. He's in my sleeper's column. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: think he has a really good week. Maybe I'm just
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: like a little bit drunk off of what I saw
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: from the Rams offense the first two weeks of the season.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about Kirk Cousins because through two weeks
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he is your QB number one, which I don't think
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: anybody saw that one coming. And this potentially could be
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a score fest against the Los Angeles Chargers.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly why I want as many Vikings and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Chargers as I could get in my starting lineup this week.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins right now is top two in the NFL
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: in passing yards and passing touchdowns. The Chargers have allowed
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the most passing yards through two weeks. Remember what Tua
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and Tyreek Hill and them did week one. I think
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: we could get something similar like that from the Vikings
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: this week. This is a must win game on both
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: sides with two really good offenses and not so great defenses.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The Chargers are the first team in NFL history to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: have fifty plus points but yet b zero to two. Wow,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: this was gonna be wild, though, should be a whole
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: lot of fun. In theory, somebody has to win, but
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know, I could end in a tie. I'm rooting
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for that. That would be fun. I mean not for
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Vikings or Chargers fans, but for me in my own
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: personal enjoyment. That would be a lot of fun. You mentioned,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Spicy that you've got Trevor Lawrence as a sit going
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: against that Houston Texans defense, which, look, they're not terrible.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: They're not great, but they're not terrible either.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: No, and they you can run all over the Houston Texans,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: which means if they don't always give up a whole
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: bunch of passing volumes. So far this season, they've allowed
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: just one passing touchdown, and since the start of last season.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: It is sixteen.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They actually have more interceptions in that span than passing
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: touchdowns allowed, and Trevor Lawrence he got them twice last year,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: did not throw a touchdown in either gave me, threw
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: three interceptions, and he averaged just two one hundred and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: nineteen passing yards. I know it's a little bold. I'm
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: not telling you to sit him for anyone, but it's
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: possible you paired him with a Jared Goff or a
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. I would go that way. I even think
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is appealing over him this week.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: That's right. All the things you said are why I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: really love Travis Etn this week, because I don't know
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: that they need to lean on Trevor Lawrence in the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: passing game a whole lot. But I do think they're
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: going to give a lot of touches to Travis Etn.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the wide receiver list. Florio
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: starts and sits for the pass catchers. Who do you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like and who do you not like?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Puka Nakua must start option at this point. I think
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Mike Williams is as well Jordan Addison. You might notice
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: a trend from that game. Nico Collins has been awesome,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and so Zay Flowers is getting more work than I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: think people might realize some CITs. It pains me to say,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: but Garrett Wilson, I think you get away from Marquise
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Brown against the Cowboys. I had Jsen as a start
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: last week. He did not come through until we see it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think you gotta sit him and then Courtland Sutton
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: as well as they sit for me.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Got Nico Collins on that list. And this is a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: guy that we thought could be the wide receiver one
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in Houston. Right now he is the wide receiver seven
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: overall eighty plus yards in both games. Looking for another
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: big outing against Jacksonville this week.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not like like you said, eighty yards
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: or more in each game. It's not a one week thing.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Through two weeks right now, he's averaging ten targets, one
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: hundred and thirteen yards and just under twenty one Fantasy
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: points per game. And the thing is when the Texans
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: fall behind, they abandoned the run. Altogether. They are one
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of two teams with over ninety pass attempts and they're
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: all funneled to their wide receivers. Nico Collins with someone
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I liked as a sleeper coming into the year. He's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: now someone that I am starting everywhere that I have.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Him him Tank Dell too in other name, I remember
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: because he's getting a lot of work in what again
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: should be a pass happy offense for the Houston Texans.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, we were really hoping that he was quarterback proof.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That might not be the case. Zach Wilson might be
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Garrett Wilson stopper, especially this week against Bill Belichick.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: It was kind of like DeAndre Hopkins when he had
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to play with Brock Osma was like, he's quarterback proof
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: with anyone but this guy, and that is Garrett Wilson.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And I know in Week one he came through, but
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: he needed a catch of the Year candidate for a touchdown.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Week two, he came through with a sixty eight yard touchdown,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: but besides that, he called one of his seven targets
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: for fifteen yards. In Zach Wilson's career against the Patriots
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: three full games, He's thrown two touchdowns, seven interceptions, and
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: the Patriots have about just two touchdowns to wide receivers,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: which is extremely impressive when you factor in they've played
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Miami and the Eagles, so I don't think Garrett Wilson
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: scores a touchdown, and if so, I think you want
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to get him out of your lineup.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Adam Rank once called brock Oswiler a shut down quarterback,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and I feel like we can sort of say the
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: same thing about Zach Wilson at this point. Coming up next,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some tight ends because they are certainly
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a mood. Also going to have our own vibe check
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: tell you how we are feeling about some of the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: big fantasy questions that you have this week. Stick around
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: for more of the Stardham Sittum Show starts at tight
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: ends for week three.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Florio Go Sam Laporta is becoming very quickly a person
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you want to start each week. Kyle Pitts, I'm giving
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you another chance. Dallas Goddard is too good to get
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: away from despite the slow start, and I like the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: matchup for Hayden Hurst even if Andy Dalton will with
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Andy Dalton starting some six, Dalton Schultz, Gerald Everett even
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: in that score fest Chega Konkuo and unfortunately Tyler Higbee,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: he just has not.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Got a whole lot of volume. Yeah, for all the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: hype about Puka, Nakua to to that well, Kyron Williams
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: or Kieran Williams. I guess is we're being told Tyler
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Higbee has sort of been the big loser in this
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: for the Rams offense, at least for fantasy purposes. That is.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about Sam Laporta though, because I know you
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: and I liked him at the start of the season.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: We liked him as a late round draft pick. At
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: this point, he's sort of approaching must start territory.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the tight end eight in Week one,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: followed it up with the being the heighten eight in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Week two, and on this season. Right now, he is
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the fourth highest scoring tight end entering Week three. He's
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: been playing consistently over eighty percent of the snaps, getting
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: consistent volume. But I think we could see him used
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: even more as he just becomes more comfortable in this
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: line's offense and just in the NFL as a whole.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: He's just getting plenty of targets. He's showing he can
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: make plays, and again it helps that they're not asking
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: him to block. Just run routes, get open, catch the football.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's all we want you to do. I think I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: expect there to be a lot of throwing in that
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: game too. All Right, this is the part of the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: show where we talk about Kyle Pitts. Fantasy Twitter has
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: sort of united. This is the last stand. It's now
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: or never for Kyle Pitts.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I feel like I'm in like three hundred
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: or something like that. This is this is it the
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: final chance for Kyle Pitts because it's all about the matchup.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: It's not even about Kyle Pitts at this point. The
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Lions so far have allowed the most yards two tight ends,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: and they're allowing eighteen Fantasy points per game to position.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And you might be like, Okay, who have they played?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They played the Chiefs without Travis Kelce and then the
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks. Kyle Pitts is easily the best tight end
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: that they are going to have faced so far through
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Week three. I don't trust Arthur Smith to do the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: right thing, but in a game where I'm expecting they're
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: gonna have to put up points to keep up with
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: golf in the Lions offense, like just take advantage of
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: the matchup and throw the ball to Kyle Pitts. But
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I'm very fearful that come Monday, we're gonna be like, Wow,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: John Smith one hundred yards this week.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Huh. Look, there's a reason that on NFL Fantasy Live
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I called Mac Collins a sleeper because that's sort of
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: how it's gone. They are throwing the ball occasionally, they're
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: just not throwing it to Kyle Pitts. But this is it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: We have all united as one across the fantasy social
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: media landscape. We are holding hands and lighting candles and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: singing songs of hope for Kyle Pitts. We're gonna we're
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: gonna start like a GoFundMe or something for targets. If
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: this doesn't work out, I him off of the Falcons.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Just what I want, Help me, help you sort of thing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Gerald Everett friend of the program since he's the best
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: basketball player on the Chargers, but you say he shouldn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be playing in your fantasy lineup this week.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Gerald Everett is an awesome dude, and he is a
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: good football player. The only issue is he's been splitting
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: routes and targets with Donald Parham. Last week, Everett only
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: ran fifteen routes. On the year, he is just six targets.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: That's three targets per game. I really like Everett for
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: a real life standpoint, and I think if you start him,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: you're hoping for a long catch or a touchdown. The
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: volume just hasn't been going his way enough right now
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to warrant starting in fantasy.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's been hard. I mean a lot of places to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: go with the football, Gerald Everett not getting that opportunity,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and Donald Parham seeing a lot more snaps so far
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this year. Time now for a segment we call how
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we Feel and we'll rip through some guys we're getting
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: asked about on social media and let you know if
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: they should be in your lineups this week. So let's
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: start Kareem Hunt reunited with the Cleveland Browns taking on
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Kevin Fancy says he will play how
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you feeling about him.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Hunt is someone that I want on my rosters, but
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: not in my starting lineups.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: One.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: It's a hard matchup against the Titans. I am anticipating
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Jerome Ford to continue to be the lead back for Cleveland.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I want to see how much work Kareem Hunt is
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: going to get. I kind of need to see it
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: before I get him in my lineup.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Well, and so that then brings us to Jerome Ford,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: who right now is the lead running back there in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Cleveland going against those same Titans. I think you start him,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: but mostly based on volume. As Florio mentioned, the matchup
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: is not great. The Titans run defense has been shutting
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: people down for the last couple of seasons. This isn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a new thing, so in that respect, I don't love it,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But I do think he gets the majority of the
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: work and volume is so key for running back, so
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's the reason you have Jerome Ford. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: for me, he's a low end RB two at best.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Let's get nuts. Taysom Hill tight end, slash quarterback, slash
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: jack of all trades. What do you feel about him
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: against the Packers?
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I think you should be starting him if you are
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: have been streaming tight ends or anything like that. Look,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: they are super banged up at running back this week.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: They are going to use a bunch of design runs
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: with Taysom Hill. I would not be surprised. In fact,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I am expecting him to be the goal line runner
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: for this team. He led them last week with seventy
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: five rushing yards, which for a tight end seven and
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a half points is a pretty good day. Adding a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: touchdown there we're talking about him maybe being a top
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: five tight end.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It doesn't take much to be a top ten tight
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: end in fantasy football this season. DeAndre Swift in Tampa
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: going against the Buccaneers on Monday Night, I think you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: can start him. Now. What I think is going to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: happen is that he's not going to be as bad
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: as he was in Week one. He's not going to
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: be as great as he was in Week two. Keep
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: an eye out on Kenneth gain Well because there is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: a chance he could come back to play, so that's
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: something worth monitoring. But I do think he's worth a
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: start just because he does seem to be the most
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: talented back. He looks like the most talented back in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: that Eagles backfield. I think this is going to be
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a high scoring game, so I would give DeAndre Swift
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: some opportunities as a flex. Been a rough go for
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: just the fields. He was getting ripped for allegedly throwing
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: his coaches under the bus. Now he's got the Chiefs.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: How you feel about him?
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why you're ripping the guy
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: when he's just saying the truth. And at first, coming
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: into this week, I was like, I guess you gotta
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: give Justin Fields one more chance. Then he said this,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: My goal is to go out there this week, say
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: fit and play football the way I know how to
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: play football. And I'm like, we're getting running Justin Fields back.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: We're getting de throws from Justin Fields, especially in a
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: game where they're gonna have to put up points to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: keep up with the Chiefs. If you drafted Justin Fields,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I give him another chance.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Hold the line with Justin Fields, even if you don't
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: want to play him this week, don't drop him. Tank
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Dell against the Jaguars. When you heard Florio talk about
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Nico Collins, I threw in that I like Tank Dell.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with that. I like Tank Dell. CIJ.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Stroud has thrown the ball ninety one times in the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: first two games. This team is constantly trailing. They are
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: very pass happy. Tank Dell's showing that he can get
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: open and earn targets. I think this is going to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: be another throw fest for the Texans this week, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: so I think Tank Dell very much in play, especially
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in deeper leagues. We are not done yet. We gotta
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: talk some running backs. Plus we're gonna get our fineries on.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go to Club dub that's coming up after
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this break here on the startum sit them show, all right, Floria,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Let's talk some start sit running back? Shall we?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Travis Etn because Texans Raheem Mostert, who has been awesome, key,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I Ran Williams. How we are saying yea from now on?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Brian Robinson Junior in a good matchup, and I think
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Naj Harris is in play again this week?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Some sits.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I don't want to start running backs against the Cowboys,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: which means James Connor, Damian Pierce unfortunately, is they sit
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook. I'm sticking with Rashad White as a sit
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and AJ Dillon in a tough matchup against the Saints.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Let's dive into some of these guys individually. Let's go
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: with the aforementioned Kian Williams, who looked great. He basically
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: made Cam Akers expendable in Los Angeles. That's why cam
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Akers was traded to Minnesota the Bengals. Look, the defense
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is good, at least on pay, but you still have
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: faith in Williams this week.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Getting traded from LA to Minnesota right before the winter
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: is Rough's right, But for Williams, it only means good things.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I mean he played ninety six percent of the snaps
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: last week. He had the hardest possible matchup for a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: running back. He went out and he gave you one
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: hundred yards, two touchdowns all and twenty eight fantasy points,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a whole boatload of him. Now he gets the Bengals,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: who allowed these second most rushing yards in the league.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Williams is a must start option moving forward.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Darrean Williams has looked fantastic and getting so much the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: passing game work too, which definitely boosts his overall opportunities.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: James Connor he's, I think, universally been the only cardinal
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: people have any faith in. But this is one where
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: if you can get away from him, I guess you
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: probably should.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I love James Connor coming into the season. He's
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: been reliable the first two weeks. This is all about
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the matchup. In Week one against Saquon Barkley, the Cowboys
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: limited him to sixty three total yards and less than
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: ten fantasy points, and then last week against the Jets
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: a very talented backfield, they held all three of their
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: running backs to a combined three point two fantasy points
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: combined Breeze Hall, Dalvin Cook, Michael Carter. Look, on the year,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: they've allowed eighty nine rushing yards to running backs, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: this is a game where I think the Cowboys will
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: be playing with from ahead, which means a lot of throwing.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: If you start James Connor, I think you're just kind
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: of hoping for some dump off passes.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm starting James Connor, and I'm just hoping for passes.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: It me James Connor Fantasy manager. Damian Pierce. This is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the guy that I am embarrassed on how many teams
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I have him on and it has not been good
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: so far. I'm telling people don't drop Damian Pierce, but
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: you can't start him at this point.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: That's exactly where I'm at with him, except for in
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: our Fantasy Live league, where my backups are Dalvin Cook
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: and Alvin Kamara. I gotta start him there. But right now,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: it's not a Damian Pierce problem. It is a Texans
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: offensive line problem. They were without four starters last week,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: and Damian Pierce on the year has more yards after
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: contact than rushing yards, which means every single play he's
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: getting hit behind the line of scrimmage and just fighting
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: not to lose yards. And then the past game usage
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: has not been what we were anticipating it would be.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: And right now on the year, the Jacks have allowed
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: less than one hundred rushing yards two running backs. It's
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: a bad matchup. The on line is in shambles. I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: would just like you said, you don't drop him, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: you said.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I think better days are coming. But right now it's
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: just not time to put him in the until we
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: see something. He's probably best left on your fantasy bench. Meanwhile,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: guys who are not going to be on the bench,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be having party in a club, a club,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the players of the week, the guys we guarantee you
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: will score twenty five or more fantasy points. And you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: got the Cleveland Brown to getting into the club.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know if the Cleveland Brown has scored twenty
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: five points in a game yet this season.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but the.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Air horns are bad. Start a Mauri Cooper. I think
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: he goes off this week. Look, last week we did
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: not know if he was even going to suit up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: He gave you ten targets, seven catches, and ninety yards.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Now he gets the Titans, who struggle mightily against receivers,
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: but especially at those who could win downfield. Line up
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: out wide, that is exactly what Amari Cooper is, and
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: they're great at stopping the run. I think this is
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a week where Watson's gonna have to earn that contract
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and he's gonna have to do so by throwing it
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: to Marik Cooper.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And right now, Amari Cooper's been the only wide receiver
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you can trust in that Browns offense through the first
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: two weeks. For me, we keep talking about how we
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: expect the Chargers and Vikings to be a score fest.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: So look, Justin Jefferson is frequently in the club right
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Like I mean, people just see him, they already open
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the gates, they give him bottle service, the whole thing. Well,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I think he is going to be just you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: lighting sparklers and making it rain all up in club
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: dub this week against the Los Angeles Chargers, we are
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: expecting a lot of points. We're expecting both quarterbacks to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: go big, whether it's Kirk Cousins or Justin Herbert, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is the number one target. I think I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: don't know that Jordan Natison gets into the club. Maybe
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson sneaks him in through the back door, but
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: he's certainly gonna be hanging around there, may be trying
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: to see if he can get himself a free drink
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: or anything, for sure. But Justin Jefferson popping bottles, buying
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: out the bar at Club Dub this week.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: It's like in Goodfellas. When he shows up, they just
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: take him right through the background the kitchen. They have
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: the table right set up front because Justin Jefferson's there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Every every single week. They just know. They get like
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the somebody tries to sit at the table, they're like,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: excuse me, sir, that's reserved for mister Jefferson. You're gonna
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: have to leave. That's just how it works with Justin Jefferson.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They're at Club Dub anyway. That's gonna do it for us.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go and get our relax on somewhere else.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Hopefully you will as well. That'll do it for this
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: edition of the Start of Tim Show. He is Florio.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I am Marcus. Enjoy week three, everybody. We'll talk to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you again real soon.
