- 0:00gently stop let's go it's time for banter with
- 0:04the boys welcome back to our week three tent
- 0:18talk We got a live audience here for our injuries
- 0:23and news. And they're not really a lot of news,
- 0:26but whatever. Rob's here. There's some news.
- 0:27Rob's here. Some new news. Mel's here in his
- 0:29tent. What's up, Rob? We're tent talking. Yeah,
- 0:32yeah. He's going to check it out. And then Dom
- 0:34over here, back for another one. Hey, let's get
- 0:36it, fellas. Let's get into the news. Yeah, let's
- 0:39get into it. Kev, of course, behind the cameras,
- 0:40get everything done for us, as always. First
- 0:43off, quarterback ones are down. Joe Burrow. With
- 0:47the turf toe, he will need surgeries done for
- 0:50three months, as we mentioned in the last episode
- 0:53in our week two recaps. If you missed that, go
- 0:56check that out. J .J. McCarthy done for two to
- 0:59four weeks. That hurts. That sucks. Jaden Daniels,
- 1:03TBD. Will he play this week? You think he's going
- 1:06to play this week, Dom? Who'd you say? Jaden
- 1:07Daniels? Your boy. Oh, yeah. I mean, Dan Quinson,
- 1:11as long as he's doing all the objectives on the
- 1:14checklist. Gets it done, he'll be in for the
- 1:17game. I think he'll get it done. I think he'll
- 1:19play. I mean, he doesn't need to be a running
- 1:22version. He needs to learn how to run out of
- 1:24bounds. Yeah, they just need to find a running
- 1:25back. Justin Fields, concussion. TBD probably
- 1:30out, though, from what we're seeing right now
- 1:32for the Jets. Concussions. Let's see. That ground's
- 1:36hard. Will Johnson went down for the Cardinals
- 1:39with a groin injury. That hurts. They're 2 -0,
- 1:42facing the 2 -0 49ers. He was probably rookie
- 1:45of the year. Top five the way he was playing
- 1:48already. He was looking real solid. Jalen Johnson
- 1:51for the Bears. It came out today that he is out
- 1:54indefinitely at the moment. The Bears. The Bears.
- 2:00Nope, nope. The 0 -2 Bears. Vikings, nobody cares
- 2:03other than us. But Aaron Jones hamstring, he
- 2:06has just went to IR today. That sucks. Tough
- 2:08to hear. Ryan Kelly, center for the Vikes, went
- 2:11down with a concussion. And then Justin School,
- 2:13who we talked about just a minute ago, who did
- 2:15not have an awesome week, also went down with
- 2:17a concussion as well. So the Vikes are short
- 2:20on the O -line department right now. Let's see.
- 2:24The linebacker for Pittsburgh, Alex Highsmith,
- 2:27ended up with a high ankle sprain. He's not going
- 2:30to go to IR. They originally thought he was,
- 2:32so that's a little bit saving grace for Pittsburgh.
- 2:34Hopefully to see him back, if not this week,
- 2:38maybe next week. Against the Vikings in two weeks.
- 2:40Right, in Ireland. It would be imagined he will
- 2:43be good to go for that. That flight over there
- 2:47will help his ankle. For sure, for sure. With
- 2:49that... Rob, this would be a good time for your
- 2:53little bit quick fantasy minute. A little fantasy
- 2:57minute. Let me give a big shout out to Mr. Jared
- 2:59Goff. Picked him up late. He had a huge over
- 3:02305 touchdowns. What, you just picked him off
- 3:04the waiver wire this week? Yeah, I had Purdy
- 3:06go down. What a pick. Yeah, that was a solid
- 3:09W in that side. What a pick. How many people
- 3:11were in your league? Ten. I mean, Jared Goff's
- 3:14on the waiver wire right now in my league. He's
- 3:17on that tier of like 12 to 14 in fantasy range,
- 3:21you know? I'm trying to think who else had another
- 3:23big week. I had a big week with James Cook, but
- 3:26I mean, I went 0 -2 this week in fantasy. It
- 3:28was a tough week. Yeah, it was an 0 -3 weekend,
- 3:32but I went 3 -2 in the picks. So, I mean, that
- 3:34was a good thing. It can't be too bad. I mean,
- 3:37Henry, he didn't do much at all. Yeah, he got
- 3:41gobbled up. He had less than 50 yards. It was
- 3:42kind of an odd fantasy. He got gobbled up. He
- 3:45got gobbled up. Neighbors had a huge day for
- 3:48the Giants. Russell Wilson had a big day. Yeah,
- 3:50I mean, he went back to them all. He went back
- 3:52to them. Well, then Jamar Chase ended up having
- 3:54a pretty solid day. Yeah, over 125. So that,
- 3:59I mean, for Vikings fans, that's what we're going
- 4:01to have to deal with. And Higgins had his first
- 4:02touchdown of the year. I'm trying to think on
- 4:05the other side. Puka had a nice game. Adams got
- 4:08his first touchdown. They both had really solid
- 4:11days in the ring. Nico Ficada's first, I think,
- 4:15touchdown this year. But there was a bunch of
- 4:17kind of down. It was kind of a down general week
- 4:20in fantasy football, not a ton of. It was a lot
- 4:22of sleepers. Yeah, exactly. It was a big sleeper
- 4:25week. If you just had any guys you drafted in
- 4:27the round, the fourth and the fifth round, those
- 4:29guys probably went off for you this week. So
- 4:31it'll make the pickups really interesting because
- 4:33everyone's going to have a bunch of averages
- 4:35are higher. Everyone's like, oh, that guy scored
- 4:37last week. I'm going to pick him up. And then
- 4:39he just barely plays. Like a Jared Goff. Yeah.
- 4:43It's a high -power offense. I know. I'm just
- 4:45talking. It's not a bad bet there. Because I
- 4:48looked at it, it's 33 points. I'm going to pick
- 4:50him up this week. He'll get 12. Playing the Ravens.
- 4:54Yeah, it's tough. It's going to be the struggle.
- 4:55But it'll be interesting. Week three coming in.
- 4:57Now it's three weeks, two weeks of football played.
- 4:59I think offenses are starting to click. They're
- 5:01figuring out what they're good at, what they're
- 5:03not. And then what defenses are doing against
- 5:06them. So is Jared Goff a pickup right now if
- 5:09he's out there? Jared Goff. Jared Goff and Matt
- 5:14Jones. He'll get picked up now because he had
- 5:16a big week. Matt Jones. Matt Jones. He looked
- 5:18nice for the Niners. He did his thing. So. I
- 5:22don't know who Detroit plays. They play the Ravens.
- 5:24Yeah, it's going to be a high -scoring game.
- 5:27Yeah, that'll be a high -scoring game. I'd pick
- 5:30up cough for that one. But that's tough, though.
- 5:32The Ravens don't stop the run very well, so it
- 5:35could be Jacobs and Gibbs and Montgomery that
- 5:38get all the tutties in that game. The sonic and
- 5:41the boom. So that'll be the interesting aspect
- 5:44of that because it might flip. They haven't scored
- 5:46a ton of rushing touchdowns this year. No, I
- 5:48mean, last week was a lot of just throwing that
- 5:50ball. I liked it. I really liked it. And they
- 5:53threw on the ball late, too, at the end of the
- 5:54game, too. Yeah, so score that on the fantasy
- 5:57side. Oh, St. Brown had a big game. St. Brown,
- 6:00yeah, he had a great day. But, yeah, that's kind
- 6:03of the fantasy minute. Fantasy minute for Rob.
- 6:06That was like fantasy 50 minutes. No, I'm just
- 6:09kidding. It's all good. It's all good. Disinterested
- 6:11football. No, no, it's all good. Let's see. I
- 6:15didn't play Fantasy last year either. I haven't
- 6:17played Fantasy in a couple years because I can't
- 6:19find a league. For money. I only play for money.
- 6:23You can't play for money. It sounds like we need
- 6:26to start a banter with the boys fantasy league
- 6:29coming up next year. We need a couple of fans
- 6:31to join the league. Get a couple of the fans
- 6:34that will watch us. We could start the banter
- 6:36with the boys fantasy. We can fill out a league.
- 6:37I'm known to play. For no money, right. That's
- 6:40illegal. Obviously. We can't do that. It's about
- 6:43pride. Pride in your pocket. If you're interested
- 6:47in that, if you're interested in playing for
- 6:51pride uh message us yep better the boys yep um
