• Lord Hinkie: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the ZNG Dynasty Podcast. I'm your host, Lord Hinky, as always, on the ones and twos on the new podcast platform. things have been going well. Things have been going very smoothly, and I think we're going to be rolling with it from here on out. but talking about smoothly, I'm joined by my right hand man, my special guest. ninja, say hi to the people, big fella. ninja: Yo, what's going on everybody? Thank you, thank you. Happy to be back for another edition of the ZNG podcast. close call today behind the scenes. Ninja was caught lacking today. Lord Hinkie: Mm-hmm. ninja: but we're back. Gary summoned me to the Earthic once again after I was dreaming for a while. But we are back, baby. We are back. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, nothing like slipping back into consciousness and then just recording the podcast with your buddy on a Tuesday night. But here we are. we got a fun one for you guys. Goods and bads as always. We're gonna break down what happened in week three, give you guys what we think is gonna happen in week four. But it was a pretty fun week three decentish, you know, NFL Sunday window. we'll talk about Monday. We'll talk about what happened Saturday for us, Penn Staters, but No spoilers. I think we're gonna get right into it. Ninja, anything to say before we get going, Big Fella? ninja: Let's get moving. Lord Hinkie: starting off with the goods, as always. We always talk about the goods and the bads. the goods. B. John Robinson, buddy. Pretty much won people their weekly matchups in fantasy on a Thursday night. absolutely went off. Michael Penix's first start this year. Drake London looked incredible as well. Twenty nine carries for Bijan, almost two hundred rushing yards and two touchdowns. And then Drake London, nine catches, 194 yards. Drake London had an a hundred and ninety four receiving yards and Bijan had a hundred and ninety four rushing yards. I feel like that's just a match made in heaven and the fact that that happened is incredible. But this Falcons team looked pretty decent with Michael Penix. ninja: They looked alive for the first time all year. Lord Hinkie: But they got a pulse, baby. You know it doesn't have a pulse? The gri Yeah. ninja: Ooh, we'll get to that. Lord Hinkie: But yeah, I I'm I'm pretty optimistic about these Falcons with Michael Pennox. I know I'm the lone Michael Pennox kind of truther, but they look pretty decent. ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: look pretty alright. Next good. The Jacksonville Jaguars absolutely shellacked the New England Patriots. Man, that team looks bad. But Loved what I saw from Trevor Lawrence. Passing the ball to everybody. Parker Washington had a good game. Jacoby Myers had a good game. Bashalt Tootin, Tootin over the place. I this this Jag team is playing pretty well. ninja: Yeah, the Jags absolutely mollywapped this week. It was awesome to see. as a guy who has not been a T Law truther, has looked really good first three weeks, I may have to start rotating around on my take. Lord Hinkie: Gotta be watery, gotta be fluid. next good on our list, JSN. I hate the fact that I keep having to put him in here. But if you're gonna have ten catches, 128 yards, and two touchdowns, you're gonna be in the goods list, dude. Like I get ninja: Yeah, what are you gonna do? He he's forcing your hand. Lord Hinkie: I get it. Like he's the best wide receiver in the league, and he's playing like the best wide receiver in league, but week in and week out, he's putting like thirty, thirty five fantasy points. It's like, okay, you won me a week again. ninja: Yeah, it's it's kind of unreal the start he's had, where he's been probably your best wide receiver every week so far. It's incredible. Lord Hinkie: Like I think he has six touchdowns in three games. That's insane. That's that's ninja: Insane. It's stupid numbers. Lord Hinkie: unheard of. And like there's no other Seattle Seahawk doing anything else. Like it is just ninja: No, no, it's just him. Lord Hinkie: it's just JSN. next good on our list, Jets baby. J E T S Jets, Jets, Jets. ninja: J E T S Jets, Jets, Jets. Lord Hinkie: Gino had himself a day. Sadiq had himself a day, looked like a real legit player, early touchdown for the kid. and Garrett Wilson owned that Detroit secondary. this was very telling. It was a very telling game against the Detroit Lions. little personal note, me and Dakota are in a fantasy lineup league where I did a jet stack against this Detroit lineup. And it went pretty well for the most part. We'll talk about that later. But anyways, Sadiq looked awesome. If you didn't trade if you didn't get Sadiq, you're not gonna be able to get him anymore. Kid had a breakout game. And Garrett Wilson's the guy there. Shocker. ninja: Yeah, I mean, Sadiq, man, he looks good. Man, he looks Lord Hinkie: It looked so good. ninja: awesome. so you feel happy about drafting him and your dynasty leagues right around the one five range, you love it. And then Garrett Wilson, I said last week if he didn't have a good week this week, it was kinda done for the kid. If you're not gonna do anything against the line secondary, what am I gonna do with ya? he said, Hey Ninja, watch this real quick. And and absolutely killed it. sat on my bench in one league. For another one of our guys, Christian Watson and both had good days, Lord Hinkie: What? ninja: so I can't complain too much. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, can't hate, but yeah, the Jets look alive. And Gion doesn't look half bad as well. I I'm why am I a Jets guy? I'm like I'm like I ninja: He's slinging the rock, man. Lord Hinkie: I'm like I'm I'm like a low key Jets fan on this podcast. ninja: We love a good underdog here. Lord Hinkie: Wood. next good on our list, another guy, Jameer Gibbs. Like I don't want to put him on this list. We know he's good at football. But he is he had three more touchdowns this week. He had twenty carries for pretty much a hundred yards and two touchdowns, and seven catches for sixty-five yards and another tou he scored three touchdowns this week. Like there's teams out there that have Jameer Gibbs and JSN on them and they're like how's it feel to be three now? ninja: Like yeah, it's Lord Hinkie: You know what I mean? ninja: if you have JSN or Gibbs right now, more than likely you're three and and if you're not you have a very poor roster around them. That's how good they've been. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, like you would have to have yeah, literally nobody else if you were like even two and one. It's th they're in s they're cheat codes. Next good on our list, Harold Fanning. We're putting a Cleveland Brown on the goods list. kinda had himself a day against the Carolina Panthers, seven catches, fifty yards, two tutties. caught the game winning I guess you could say go ahead touchdown at the end of the game. Heartbreaker for Carolina, but you know, Fannin had herself a decent day. ninja: Yeah, and I hate to say it. Brown's team is like defense wise is kinda looking good. So Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: are the are the Browns back? Lord Hinkie: Dude, they're like they're there. I don't know if they're back, but they're he they're there. ninja: Like their offense is like it their offense is finally like kinda fun to watch again. With Denzel Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Yeah. ninja: Boston, Casey Fannon. Like it's kinda fun. Lord Hinkie: It is kind of exciting with like Juddkins, the new offensive line. Like, man, that that team that team needs a quarterback. ninja: So bad. Lord Hinkie: But yeah, it's interesting. Like they're this up and coming rebuilding team, but yet they also feel kind of stuck in the mud in a way. It's kind of kinda a little bit of both ways. But ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: once they once they get a quarterback in there, it they'll be really exciting. I don't though I don't know if I love the head coach though. We'll see. next good on our list. Jeremiah Love. Or I guess you can you can throw Michael Wilson into this two. But the 49ers Cardinals game, high score, and put up like 66 points total. but Michael Wilson went off eleven catches, ninety yards, and a tutty. And Jeremiah Love got twenty-one carries, ninety yards. He also caught five passes. really, really good day from Jeremiah Love. he's the guy there from here on out. It only took the week three. I thought there was a chance maybe it'll take a little bit longer with them bringing in Algier and having James Conner there. But Jeremiah loves the guy now. Michael Wilson's always been the wide receiver one in that team. I don't know who questioned that ever. But yeah, this Carlos team looks like they're gonna be the same thing they were last year. They're gonna be down in most games and they're gonna be chucking the ball. ninja: Yeah, these guys are merchants coming from behind. Stat patent. we love to see it for fantasy. but man, their defense needs help. Lord Hinkie: they have no one on defense. Next good on our list, Brock Purdy had himself a day only completed fifteen passes, but he had four touchdown passes and he also had he had this long rushing touchdown that was called back that was very, very nice. But only completing fifteen passes and throwing for three hundred yards and four touchdowns, that's pretty impressive. ninja: Yeah, Brock Party's been slinging that thing all year. probably if I had to put out an MVP ballot, he'd finish second right now behind JSN. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, yeah. Sneaky too, 'cause it's like you got if you're in like redraft leagues or even dynasty, like you get Brock Purdy pretty late. And he is producing. Speaking of producing, guess who's back playing football? Brr. Holy crap, man. I miss watching this guy play. ten catches, 116 yards, and a touchdown in your first game of the season. Your first game. The Raiders are three and The Kirk Cousins led Raiders are three-o. ninja: Yeah, Kirko Chains is slinging that thing and god it's so nice to watch Brock Bowers go to work. Lord Hinkie: He's a man. ninja: God, he's so good at football. Lord Hinkie: Like Kirk had himself a day. Two hundred fifty yards, three touchdown passes, no picks. This this team's playing ball, man. Team's playing ball. ninja: Clint Clint Kubiak is making these guys look great. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, he is. I think he's a really good head coach. And I I I do think it's telling. Obviously they started three and and I think I think all three of their games they were underdogs in. but absolutely owning it right now. And I I like Kubiak a lot for the future. I'm interested to see what happens when they eventually slide over to Mendoza. Which it seems like it's probably gonna take longer than expected. ninja: Yeah. We Mendoza might actually sit the entire year if Kirko does similar things like this all year. Lord Hinkie: yeah. Especially if they're if they're competing for a playoff position, like if they're end up being around five hundred, man, this is gonna be it's gonna be a really interesting team to watch, especially this year and for the future. next good on our list is if you're a tight end for the Saints. Juwan Johnson had two touchdown catches, eight total catches for fifty three yards, and Noah Fant caught himself two tutties. kind of frustrating if you're a Trevor Etian or a Travis E. T. N owner. Or a Chris Olave owner, but two four total touchdowns here tight ends. Tyler Shuck Chucking another two hundred fifty yards and four tutties. That kid's also having himself a year. this this Saints team I feel like is just fun. I know they lost against the Raiders and it was a tough one. Shuck had a bad pick late in the game that cost me in that fantasy lineup league with Zig again, which we'll talk about, but this Saints team is very, very interesting. ninja: Yeah, and I think they look poised to compete with one other team for the NFC South. Like these boys look good and who doesn't love a good tight end? Lord Hinkie: Shuck loves a good tight end. Shuck tossing it to tight ends all week long. Giants traded for JJ McCarthy. I wish I had the breaking news lineup, but I haven't downloaded it onto our new podcast platform yet. But this was a I don't know if I would say a shocker, 'cause obviously the Giants are in the the market for a quarterback right now after Jackson Dark goes down for the season. I didn't think JJ McCarthy was gonna be the answer. I thought they might go more of the veteran route, someone a little bit more older, poised. who is established in the league and can come in, run a decent offense, and maybe help you compete for a playoff spot, like a Joe Flacco kind of player. But it kind of shocks me that you roll the dice again on a quarterback that for most like everyone's thought process on him is that he might not have it. Like there's a reason he's not starting for the Minnesota Vikings right now. He lost a job to Kyler Murray. He's actually lost a backup job to Carson Wentz. And he's done all this under Kevin O'Connell, who is pretty nationally wide regarded as one of the better head coaches in the league. So I don't think JJ McCarthy's a player. I don't know why the Giants think he is. Maybe they can turn him into a salvageable week in and week out starter who just doesn't turn the ball over that Jameis Went 'cause He's pr he's the he how opposite of quarterbacks are Jameis Winston and J J. McCarthy? ninja: Very, the exact opposite. Lord Hinkie: Like the exact opposite of quarterbacks. So I I in that aspect I guess I do see it. Jameis, you're chucking the ball, you're throwing it deep, you're throwing in the tight windows, which is gonna cause you to have bigger plays, but also a lot more turnovers. And JJ McCarthy's the opposite. He's check it down, throw the ball away if you have to, run the ball, play action, mm maybe make a play or two with his legs kind of quarterback. Like he's They're very much the opposite, so maybe that's more of what Harbaugh wants, but this this trade was a little surprising to me, and I still don't really know how I feel. ninja: Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it either. I thought once Jackson Dart was ruled out for the year, I was kinda thinking like, do we finally get to see Mac Jones start Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: again? but I'm sure San Fran with all their injury problems was like, Can't have it. Can't do it unless you're giving up like a second round pick. But yeah, I don't know how I feel about it either. Not the biggest JJ guy. And it kinda just goes from like I don't know, two quarterbacks like I don't like. Like it goes from Jackson Dart who's been trying to do better and has been doing better, to JJ McCarthy, who kinda stinks or has been stinking it up in Minnesota, which is a hard place to do with Jay Jets there. So Lord Hinkie: The frat parties that Jackson Dart, Jaden McCarthy, and Cam Scadaboo can have are gonna be legendary. ninja: Ha ha. Lord Hinkie: They're gonna be spoken about in New York for years to come if you end up r walking around the streets of Broadway and you see th the the most punchable face in the world, a guy who you think might be sixteen or twenty four in Jackson Dart, and a literal fridge of a human being in Cam Scadaboo that those guys are What a what a crazy trio of of human beings that is. I guess my fantasy take is hey, at least JJ McCarthy's getting another shot. If you h if you own him s for some reason in Dynasty, you're excited about this, obviously, because he has an opportunity to play. I would trade him if I could. Like if you can get a second round pick for JJ McCarthy like a third for aug I don't know. Maybe if you g if you trade me a second round pick for JJ McCarthy, I'm throwing him to you and praying for your downfall. ninja: Yeah, I'm kinda th I don't know. I wouldn't give up a second. Is there people willing to give up seconds for JG McCarthy? Lord Hinkie: Like if you're super quarterback needy and they announce him as a starter this week, ninja: You could see it. Lord Hinkie: I can see someone sending like a twenty eight second for J J and just like taking a dart throw on him. I don't know. It's a ho it's a hard thing to predict. But I guess we'll see. moving on to the bads. not a lot of bads this week, which I guess is a good thing, but there is some pretty detrimental bads if you're you know Your last name's Buck. speaking of, Kyle Pitts is the first bad this week and he has two catches, two receptions in three NFL football games so far to start the year. Y you maybe you had the slight slightest bit of hope that Michael Pennings coming back will kinda turn this around. Nope. He throws the ball to Drake London now. Kyle Pitts isn't ninja: As he should. Lord Hinkie: Kyle Pitts is another non factor and we're back to God, I should have traded him for anything last last offseason. ninja: Yeah, Kyle Pitts is the BUST of the week. Thank you. Lord Hinkie: That was so good. ninja: thank you. yeah, dude. man, I love being on the the Pitts hater train. 'Cause more often than not, I'm looking really good on the train. Really good. You guys had your year last year. You know it was fine. Lord Hinkie: I was gonna say you th it was a legit like one year where you were just like, All right, you know. ninja: Yeah. And and there was a bunch of injuries to tight ends to like, you know, kinda inflate the numbers, you know. But you know. You guys had your year, now it's we're back down to reality. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. You're not wrong. Shocker ninjas right again. ninja: Ha ha Lord Hinkie: next bat on our list, Drake May. And I'm only saying his name once. He does not deserve to get his name said said twice. has looked pretty awful to start the year. I know a lot of people are gonna come up with excuses for him, like, the offensive line's not playing that great and You know, AJ Brown went down early and then doesn't have any more, you know, wide receivers to throw to and yada and yada yada and yada. But fantasy wise, right now, Drake May is the thirty first ranked quarterback in fantasy. There's thirty two NFL teams. And he's the thirty first ranked quarterback. it's not good. He's thrown six interceptions in three games. ninja: And lost a fumble. Lord Hinkie: And lost and lost plenty of fumbles. The other thing is he's not running the ball as much, which is interesting because it's you would expect him to run the ball more with having to play more hero ball, but he's not running as much. He's just throwing more interceptions. it's it's tough. I'm hoping AJ Brown coming back in like a week or two kind of help turn this thing around for them, but it does not look good up there in the ninja: No, his fundamentals are now bad. Like he's Lord Hinkie: Yes. ninja: he's missing open receivers too often. Actually Kurt Bankert, I think is his name, the old Packers quarterback, actually broke down a play where his footwork is now bat and he's making like two or three hitches before he throws the ball and he missed a wide open like Romeo Dallas for like an eleven yarder in the red zone late in the game. He looks he looks bad and I can't even blame the O-line, 'cause the O-line is okay at pass protection. They Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: suck at run blocking, but they're okay in pass pro. Drake May does not look like himself, and I probably sit him until he shows us otherwise. He doesn't look confident. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, we were gonna kinda he does not look confident at all. And that's kinda what I was gonna get to. He doesn't he's not playing like the same player. one of the all time my favorite nicknames I saw on Twitter over the week was calling Drake May the Schedule. And I think that is just perfect because they had the cupcakeist of all cupcakey schedules last season. Sprinkles, cherry, whipped cream on top, all of it. Like the softest possible schedule for him the entire year, and yes, he played great. And now he's playing half decent football teams that are prepared to play against him and he's getting owned. And it's it's sad to see. But the s Drake, the schedule may. It's awesome. ninja: Might have to run with it now. Lord Hinkie: The sketch. next on our badge list, David Montgomery, man. hopefully you traded him after the first week blow up, but the last two weeks have not been good. he only had eleven carries for thirty-three yards, two pass catches, hasn't scored a touchdown in two weeks, which is kind of you know, he's touchdown dependent, but this entire Houston offense cannot move the ball without Nico Collins. Desperately, desperately need Nico Nico Collins back. maybe when he does come back. You know, Montgomery would be in more scoring opportunities, but right now it's not good for Houston. ninja: Yeah, definitely not good. They miss Nico desperately. Lord Hinkie: Next on our badge list, Tetaroa McMillan. this is not strictly because Zig put him in his ZNG parlay and he did not score a touchdown. It's because he only had two catches for 17 yards against the Cleveland Browns. not good. Can't have it. you're expected to be one of these top end wide receivers. Can't be producing like that. I have higher expectations for Tet McMillan. And yes, it's because he's played well, which is good, but Now I expect that of you. So when you have bad weeks, you get pooped on. And this week is getting this week ninja: Yeah, you gotta be held accountable for your actions. Yeah. Lord Hinkie: this week is getting pooped on. With no Jalen Carter for most or sorry, Jalen Coker for most of the game too. Booty. ninja: I mean XL's out there, so I I'm kidding, kidding. Lord Hinkie: Moving on to the next. Arande Gadsden's. Usually I wouldn't have, you know, a a middle of the pack tight end on this list, and I feel kind of detrimental doing it to him, but David Nunjoku just went down. A lot of people were talking about Gadsden's finally getting another chance to be the guy. it was a good matchup for him against the Bills. It was supposed to be a shootout game. Obviously it wasn't, but a dud. Straight zero burger. You know there's people out there that started him. Or put him in some DFS leagues or bet on him to play well. And he put up a dud, the big old goose egg. And a little tidbit I throw in here, Alec Ingold, who f who for you guys aren't like big football people, he's a fullback. Alec Ingold. And he had three receptions list this week. And around Aronde Gadsons had zero. I I don't believe in this guy. I guess a little bit pull the curtain back a little bit. I traded away A Ronde Gadsden this week and pretty much a second round pick for Jamison Williams. And I got a little bit of slack for it in the group chat. And I'm and I'm not here defending it 'cause Nino J Mode didn't have a great week either and I know he's a big boomer bust, but I don't think I'm an Ronde Gadsden's guy. I think I kind of traded him away at, you know, high value and I think I'm gonna make off for it pretty well 'cause tech like really, I don't think he's good. I was gonna say I don't I don't think he's good. ninja: Ye I think he's got the tools, but in a Mike McDaniel offense the tight end isn't there. It never has been there, it won't be there. And you're right, it has been played like booty, but rise up fullbacks? Let's bring him back into the NFL. What are we doing? Lord Hinkie: Yeah. I love a good fullback. You love a good tight end, I love a good fullback. ninja, you wanna take this next one? ninja: Yeah, so if you guys follow along with our podcast and you make it to the end for the ninjas parlay of the week, gentlemen, we were we were so close this past week. We were waiting all three selections hit in the first two windows, and then we got to that eight o'clocker and we needed Cortland Sutton to do us a little bit of justice to cash. a parlay, five dollars would have paid you at roughly six hundred bucks. I've never watched a Broncos game more intently in my entire life and I was heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken when Cortland Sutton finished the game. Not even didn't have a good game. Like he didn't look great out there and no touchdown. He sold your boy and all of you guys on the parlay. so now he's right with Kyle Pitts underneath the prison as far as Lord Hinkie: Dead. ninja: fantasy goes. Hate to see it. So close to actually hitting a ninja parlay. Lord Hinkie: So close, man. I was I was rooting for you too 'cause I I I also bet it I bet it every week. going down to Sunday night football. It's just tough, man. Those Broncos not throwing the ball as well. ninja: I should have known better. Lord Hinkie: Not throwing the ball as well as we'd want them to. ninja: I mean the second half Bronco so did look good. Like Lord Hinkie: Yeah, if you need a team to come back from like down fourteen, the Broncos are your team, not the Birds. And speaking of Strap in, ladies and gentlemen. Cause I have two football teams I want to talk about right now. And we're gonna go in chronological order. Saturday night at five PM Eastern Time, which is absurd to talk about, first of all. The Penn State Nittany Lions played the Wisconsin Badgers on Peacock, which is a whole nother thing in itself. But You know, we were up seventeen nothing. A couple bad first half game management decisions from Matt Campbell. A lot of very conservative play calling from the offense in the second half. Just trying to, you know, milk the clock, you know, when you're up two touchdowns. I can't even blame the defense, 'cause really the defense played incredibly well, but how can you allow and I mean this with no disrespect because I am a big boy myself. How can you allow the fattest tight end I've ever seen play college football run straight down the middle of the field for a fifty yard touchdown to go ahead with a minute and a half left? I've I've never seen a slower College football tight end in my entire life, and he b blew right by us. We didn't stand a chance. Didn't stand a chance. Disappointing first L in the Matt Campbell era. Yeah, I know the I know the violins are loud. You need to hear Feel this with me right now. I know you're sitting in your car on your way to work. I know you're listening to this podcast on your couch right now watching the fills. Feel this with me. Soak this in. Yes it sucks. It's okay to feel emotionable about football when you have high expectations. And they get ripped apart from you. But with that said, we got the whiteout coming up in a couple of weeks, baby. Let's go. USC. We're taking down. ninja: That was one of my favorite segments we've ever done in this podcast. You let the violence rock out. I feel like I'm I feel Lord Hinkie: Yeah, I love the sad music, dude. I love the sad music. It's literally my favorite part about this pond. ninja: like I'm booting up like Halo 3 O D ST. I absolutely love it. Lord Hinkie: It's the best. Speak my god, they look so bad. And I hate and I hate the fact that it was bad coach. That dude was he's a he's a college kid. He was plump. ninja: but yes, they they look bad. And in the fattest tight end in history. I love that. He was plump. Yeah. Lord Hinkie: He got thick old thighs and they were moving. man. So sad. ninja: What Lord Hinkie: So sad. Speaking of so sad, here we go. This birds team, man. It is a tough, tough weekend to be from Pennsylvania to be an Eagles Penn State fan. I'm not even gonna talk about baseball 'cause who cares? But Going into Chicago against a third string quarterback in Case Keenum that hasn't started a football game since twenty twenty four. And you get out coached, you get outmanned, you get outperformed, you get outworked on all aspects of the field. Vic Fangio can't change up his game plan. We're getting ran down our throats. We're getting slant route, comeback routes all over the place. A handful big play action plays and we're owned. Offense can't get anything done. Sean Mannion, I'm really, really starting to question your play calling. If you listen to me, I'm turning I'm pausing the music right now because I want Shann I want Sean Mannion. If you run another motion with Meki Lemon where you start him as the outside left wide receiver and you do this big loopy motion with Meki Lemon, where he goes all the way back behind the quarterback and behind the running back and he runs out into the flat on the right side. And you snap the ball in shotgun and you throw a backwards pass seven yards behind the line of scrimmage to Mikhail Lemon for him just to get tackled because he's the most obvious moving piece in your offense where he's gonna get tackled behind everyone's looking at a move. He's in motion. And he's been running for fifteen minutes because he's the left outside wide receiver going all the way to the right hash to be your s it's not gonna work. You've called this play six times this year. And every single time Makai's gotten tackled behind the line of scrimmage. If you call that play one more time. I I'm TPing your house. I'm doing the same thing we did to Kevin Petula. Your t house getting TP'd. We're throwing eggs at your door. You're done. I I can't s I it the I can't stand that play. ninja: In typical Birds fan fashion, it's week three and we're TP'ing houses. Lord Hinkie: I'll T P in that dude's house. If he if he calls and it's not like to be honest, he's called two okay games. We're two and one. ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: We're two and one and I want to TP this guy's house. It's that one play. I know it's probably my Makai Lemon fandom coming out, but do not run that play again. It does not frickin' work. And I swear if you're setting up for something nasty come week six, and we get a bomb play, I'll eat my words. But it looks bad, dude. You know what play I'm talking ninja: Yes. did not look good at all. I actually questioned Nick Seriani coaching that game. I've never been the biggest guy on Nick Sirianni. but the guy tends to win, but is he only elevated as far as his coordinators can get him? I don't know. I heard someone with our argument this week, scrolling through Instagram, I'm like, you're not wrong. but Lord Hinkie: I don't yeah. I don't disagree with that. ninja: once Jalen goes down, you need to call a timeout for Andy Dalton to get warm. What are we doing? You can't bring him in cold. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, I was gonna talk about that too, but a hundred percent agree. ninja: That's like y you Lord Hinkie: A hundred percent. ninja: throw out your closer and you give him no warmups. Nothing. No stretching, n no bullpen action, just straight onto the field in the ninth inning. Yeah, Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Yeah. It's like here's Shoei Otani, strike him out. ninja: like, come on, you gotta give some kinda or at least time for Jalen to get back too, 'cause Jalen was held in the blue tent until the interception and then got pulled out. So you think, you know, a T V timeout a minute long, something like that, in game like a minute timeout, Lord Hinkie: That would have got him back in the game for sure. ninja: Jalen Hurts would have been back in the game. Andy Dalton might have been able to warm up a little bit more, maybe he looks a little better. But I'm starting to question Nick Seriani. Is he only as good as the offensive coordinators he's able to get? I heard that argument and now it can't leave my head. Lord Hinkie: To be honest, I don't think it's a bad take. I think I think I slightly agree with it. Because I think we've had some very good coordinators that have, you know, led us to Super Bowls in the past. and right now we're we've kind of been in this year in, year out thing of just trying to find another one. now I completely agree with you. N going back to the Jalen Hurts medical tent thing, I'm not hating on the the doctors for calling him off the field and I I understand Players have to be protected, and I think that's the whole reason of the game, and I'm for that. You gotta be able to punch the ball in from the one yard line. First and goal from the one. You run twice with Saquon up the middle. You gotta score. You have to. I hate the break you you gotta score. I don't hate running it a third time instead of having Andy Dalton try throw a pass into nobody. I don't hate running the third time there. And then if you want to, then call timeout, get Jalen back on the field for a fourth down, go for it. Don't hate it. But I I would not put the ball in any Dalton's hands there. Obviously, you know, hindsight, w whatever. But can't have him. Can't have it. ninja: Yeah, I absolutely agree. it's just hard to like you think if Jalen Hurts is in the game, you're gonna get QB sneak, a little tush push. and you probably run that four times. but you don't Lord Hinkie: Honestly, yeah. ninja: have that play call with Andy Dalton in there. But it like my thing is, like Eli Stowers used to play quarterback, throw him under center. And Lord Hinkie: He is injured. ninja: take it. is he was he this week? well Lord Hinkie: Yeah. But yeah. ninja: But like you put some like a big body in there that's got some type of hands and you just Lord Hinkie: Yeah, run a tush push with like Saquon instead. Or run like ninja: Well Lord Hinkie: a Wildcat play. Something else. ninja: Yeah. Like something to just spice it up a little bit. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. moving on here before we get too derailed on birds in Penn State football. a lot of injuries to talk about this week, man. We haven't even gotten in the preview. A lot of injuries to talk about this week. Devon A Chan being the biggest one. Really, really sucks. ACL tear, he's gonna be out for the season. Really, really sucks. a lot of people when you redraft leagues probably drafting him first second first second round. not good. Hate to see it. I mean, he wasn't having the great year beforehand, but now he doesn't have a chance to bounce back. So Toronto C L done for the year. ninja: Yeah, it really sucks. but Ollie Gordon, if you need a running back, should be your number one waiver claim this week. Lord Hinkie: Completely agree. I definitely like him way more than Jalen Wright. ninja: Yes. Lord Hinkie: Next injury on our list, Jalen Coker. went down with a I believe it was an ankle injury early on in this game, or I would say middle of this game. he's questionable as of now for week four. He said he's got a chance to play. I would keep an eye on this one, probably a fifty fifty shot right now as we're recording this of Jalen Coker playing Sunday night football. If he's out, XL baby. ninja: Love it. Love it, love it, love it. Not that coker's hurt, but XL to the moon. Love it. Lord Hinkie: sadly for me, Terrace Ferguson had an ankle injury and he's likely going to be out for week four. tried to come back in the game was that Monday night or no no that was Sunday night football. tried to come back in the game, re injured his ankle. sounds like he's gonna be out at least the week, maybe two. I don't love any of those other tight ends for the Rams. I was kind of like a T Fergin only guy. So other than that, is what it is. ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: Baker Mayfield dislocated his thumb. one of like the scarier injuries from Sun in Sunday s you can hear him screaming in pain on the broadcast and it it sounded like it was way, way worse than what it was. Kind of lucky it was a dislocation and not a fracture. I believe it is his throwing hand as well. early reports are he's gonna be out at least three weeks. He has to get some kind of minor procedure done, but no ligament tears, no bone fractures, so All in all, good outcome, but looks like Baker's gonna be out for at least three weeks. Jalen Daniels is gonna be the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Bucks, old Kansas quarterback. ninja: Yeah, I don't know if I like that a lot. 'cause even Baker hasn't looked good, so am I gonna really like Jalen Daniels? I doubt Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: it. Lord Hinkie: Fantasy wise he's a nobody. if anything he just kind of s slightly hurts Igbuka, slightly hurts Bucky, slightly hurts Chris Godwin. And if you're you've you're in a league where you have defenses, you're probably targeting whoever the Tampa Bay Bucks are playing each week. ninja: Yes, I definitely agree with that. Lord Hinkie: next injury on our list, Mike Evans is considered day to day with a rib injury. This one seemed like it was also gonna be worse than it was. He did get he did walk off the field but then got carted to the locker room. it sounds like some kind of rib, not a fracture, but like a strain. right now he's considered day to day. I would keep an eye on this. Mike Evans has been questionable pretty much his entire career. I would almost expect him to play just off of knowing who he is as a player. but keep an eye on this one. There's gonna be no San Francisco wide receivers left. It's gonna be Debo and like nobody else. ninja: I mean, we're kinda used to it at this point, which kinda stinks. Lord Hinkie: True. Ironically, is Brittle is the only one gonna be left. next injury, Brees Hall is considered week to week with a quad injury. this one I would keep my eye on for sure. if you don't have Braylon Allen shares already, you should Uri Draft Leagues pick up Braylon Allen. Brees Hall had the injury scare earlier on in the year with an ankle injury, you should have had him then. But Brees Hall probably gonna be week to week. I think he's gonna at least miss one. I think it's considered one to three right now, but if he is out, Braylon Allen to the moon. ninja: I absolutely agree we finally get to see the stud work. Lord Hinkie: Yes, please. sad news, Jonathan Brooks is put on IR again. I think that this one's considered a six week injury, some kind of oblique tear, he's gotta get a procedure done. this kid's pretty much done. He can't he cannot stay on the field. ninja: No, it if it wasn't dead already, it he's dead. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. It's like that Kevin Hart meme where it's like he's already dead. ninja: Yeah, it absolutely Lord Hinkie: Poor guy. ninja: is. Lord Hinkie: He like legit never got a chance. It just kinda sucks. Caleb Williams is expected to miss three to four weeks. I think we talked about this last week, but officially they announced that he's probably gonna miss at least three to four weeks with his hamstring injury. So I would expect more case Keenum from here on out. Even with tight that badgeant kid coming back, 'cause you know, Keenum looked good against the birds on Monday night football. ninja: I mean, do we have to start Case Kingdom now? god no, I hope not. Is that the conversation? man, hate it. Lord Hinkie: Case Keenum or Drake May. What are we doing? I'm gonna throw up in my mouth. Jonah Coleman got put on IR this week with an ankle injury. was gonna miss at least four weeks. Dobbins is healthy, Harvey is healthy, I'd probably just roll with them two from now on. sucks to see 'cause I think Jonah Coleman did look pretty good in this f the few few games he got to play in. ninja: I absolutely agree. Lord Hinkie: next on our list, Travis E. Tien had a hamstring injury and he's can the reports are that he's gonna miss considerable or significant time. I would expect probably two to three weeks for Travis Etienne. So if you have Kamara or you don't have go get Kamara. other than that though, I think I kinda hate that backfield. I don't even know if I want Kamara. I I think I would just fade it in total. ninja: I think I would fate too. is my boy Devon Neal available or is he hurt? 'cause yeah, I thought so. Lord Hinkie: I believe he is hurt still 'cause I think they're playing that Kendra Miller kid who I don't I don't hate Kendra Miller. He just likes to drop the ball, so ninja: Yeah, but I would just stay away from this Saints backfield. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, I completely agree. I think they s they played a little bit of CJ Donaldson, the old h Ohio State running back. He's a rookie this year. ninja: Man, I haven't heard that name in a little bit. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, buddy. I would keep my eye out on him. If he ends up being like the goal line, heavy power kinda back, I'd be a little interested in him, but as of right now, fade, fade, fade. ninja: Man, the Saints gotta be missing Taysom Hell. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Moving on. All right, let's get to the week four preview. Thursday night football, we have a gross one. Steelers ninja: Ha ha ha. Lord Hinkie: at the Browns. I guess in you know, historical fashions this would be a good divisional matchup. But this Browns team just like we said earlier, they just continue to surprise people. the Steelers did get a big time win over the Bengals last week, a little comeback, but I expect this to be A low scoring, good defensive, under divisional, just heavyweight fight. not even heavyweight fight, like middleweight fight. I don't expect a lot of points from this game. for the Brown side, Harold Fannon, Judkins, and I'm out. And I don't even really love the the matchup Quinch on Judkins. I just expect him to get a lot big workload. And for the Steelers, just give me Jalen Warren. I can't trust any of these pass catchers. I know Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes last week to three different wide receivers, but I can't trust any of I know if you have DK Metcalf, you're like, well, I have DK, you know, I should probably play him. He's so big and fast and strong. He should score a touchdown. He drops the ball all the time. I I don't like watching him play anymore. Frymouth's been inconsistent. Darno Washington had himself a game last week if he's, you know, on your radar. It's it's gonna be a lot of that mess, so I don't want anything to do with it. Gimme Jalen Warren and I'm act. ninja: I think I'm still okay starting Denzel Boston. had it down week like most Browns did that that week, but I think he's still good enough to start and for the Steelers, I absolutely agree. But if you're looking at other pass catchers in the Steelers system, man, my one of my old good buddies, Ben Skaronnik, with a score last week, loved to see Lord Hinkie: Friend of program. ninja: it. Friend of the program, Ben Sko. love to see it, brother, keep up the good work. Lord Hinkie: Sco Sko. Anyways, moving on to Sunday games. We got a nine AM or in London, buddy. you know, set your alarm clocks, get your lineup set early. Colts at the Commanders at in parentheses, because it's gonna be at London. this this Colts team narrowly beat out the Texans, which is another shocker. I don't know how the Colts end up winning that game. And speaking of shockers, the Commanders beat the Seahawks last week. And yes, the Seahawks played Sam Darnold. No I was gonna say it, but Drew Locke. I'm ninja: Mm. Lord Hinkie: expecting a little bit of a letdown game from the commanders, and I think the Colts take this one. start starting on the Colts side, obviously JT and I got no worries. I actually really like this matchup for him. Tyler Warren, I like this matchup as well. And wide receiver wise, I'm playing Josh Downs. I I think this commander's secondary is bad. I'm looking to start Josh Downs. Don't really like anybody else there, to be honest. Keenan Allen, I'm good. ninja: Yeah, I agree. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Lord Hinkie: No qualms. Commander side, scary Terry, and I'm good. Marcus Mariota did have himself a pretty decent day game last week, but I don't really expect that to translate. Give me Terry just 'cause of the workload. I don't run any of the running backs. I don't want Mariota. I don't want Diggs. Just scary Terry and a match. ninja: I think if you're gonna start J C any game, this is the game to do it if you have to, with some injuries this week. I like J C in this matchup so I have no problem throwing him in your running back or flex spot this week. Lord Hinkie: Fair. next matchup, Cowboys at the Texans. Battle in the t in Texas. Cowboys lose an absolute heartbreaker in Brazil last week to the Ravens. You can't allow Zay Flowers to get open over the middle there. And they they called they legit called that timeout with like half a second left. Great play by the Ravens, obviously, but really, really poor defense. Situational defense from the Cowboys losing that game. And Texans They need Nico Collins back in the worst way. This team cannot move the ball without this guy. so I guess obviously we'll be keeping our eyes on Nico's report this week. Cowboys side, you're starting everybody. I do expect a slight down game from Javante against his Texans defense. 'cause they just held JT to like a decent game as well. so I would lower my expectations on Javante, but you're still probably starting him. And then, you know, all the other cowboys across the board. and Stroud on the Texan side of things, I think he'll be okay. Especially with this matchup against the Cowboys. And here's the thing. So if Nico ninja: Mm-hmm. Lord Hinkie: Collins is healthy, I love Nico in this matchup. And with him being healthy, it helps out David Montgomery, who I then like in this matchup. So if Nico's healthy, give me Nico and Dol and David Montgomery. And if Eden Nico Collins is out. I like a Dalton Schultz revenge game against these Cowboys. So if Nico's in, give me Nico and Monty. If Nico is out, gimme Dalton Schultz and then you can take whatever dart throw you want at wide receiver, but someone'll probably have a decent game. ninja: Absolutely no qualms. the Texans need to turn things around or else this is starting to look real scary. Lord Hinkie: Real scary. especially with their defense, man. I feel like their defense is I I played a little bit better against the Colts last week, but where's this old D'Amico Ryan's defense of old where it's like you're holding people like six points, you're turning the ball over a bunch, you're getting sacks? ninja: I'm gonna give them a little bit of a benefit of the doubt 'cause the first two weeks, hard games, like that's Lord Hinkie: Bells ninja: two really good offenses or pretty good offenses. And the Colts was kinda you know, division games are always a little weird and wonky, but Lord Hinkie: You're right. Hopefully they can turn it around. ninja: I hope so. Lord Hinkie: next on the list we have the Jets at the Bears. the Jets lost that shootout against the Lions, but they did play very well. I I I just like this Jets team. I don't know why. And then the Bears absolutely own the Eagles on Monday Night Football. Case Keenum looked like Joe Montana out there against us. ninja: Ha ha. Lord Hinkie: so I would expect pretty much a similar game plan from the Bears. for the Jets side of things, I'm probably only playing Garrett Wilson. against this Bears defense and if Brees Hall is out, I think I like Braylon Allen. Saquon did have himself a decent game against this Bears defense last week. so if Braylon Allen's in, I'm playing Brayon Allen, I'm playing Garrett Wilson, and then I'm probably it. I think I'd probably I don't it feels weird sitting Sadiq after such a good week last week. And if you have him we'd probably go ahead and play him. I just don't think I expect a good one from him against the Bears. ninja: I'm gonna differ from you a little bit. I think I'm all good to go with wheels up on the Jets. I think I Lord Hinkie: All of Gino? ninja: think I think I'm okay starting Gino. Like if you have better quarterbacks, obviously play them. But I'm good with starting Braylon Allen this week. I'm good with starting Wilson. If Adonai Mitchell can get healthy, I'm okay starting Adonai Mitchell, and I'm definitely starting Sadiq. I don't think I can pull him from my lineup after the first three weeks. Lord Hinkie: That's fair. question for if Brees Hall is active, are you playing either one of them expecting like a like kind of like a shared workload? ninja: I think if Brees is active, I sit both. 'cause it'll be limited work. but if he's out, I think Braylon Allen's a start, but keep an eye on that in your fantasy goings. If Brees Hall's a go, or they say he's a go, I think I would probably lean to just sit him this week, just to play Lord Hinkie: I agree. ninja: it safe. But for everyone else, give me their pass catchers. Gino has been slinging the rock. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. bear side of things, I think Swift is very good. Burden seemed to be Keenan Allen's or Keenan Allen. Case Keenum's favorite target last week. I would say you can play Colston Lovelin. I think you kinda have to. He he got a lot of targets in Keenum as well. Khalif Raymond looks really good against the birds. He caught that long touchdown to kind of bury us, or I guess put the dagger in us at the end of the game. and what the heck's going on with Roma Dunze, buddy. ninja: I don't know. I don't know. I don't understand really. Lord Hinkie: I mean that that drop touchdown pass is ninja: It's a rough look. Lord Hinkie: it's not a good But yeah. Are we Case Keenum? Are we picking him up? ninja: No, I don't think so. Lord Hinkie: I don't think so either. There's no way they can do that again. ninja: No, I I like that's why I'm saying start your Jets, 'cause I think the Jets absolutely BTA in Chicago. Yeah. 'Cause 'cause Keenum's not gonna be pushing Lord Hinkie: Like they they actually study the game plan that Chicago had against the Eagles and then they turn around. I think you're ninja: the ball down the field that much, so Lord Hinkie: Yeah, you're right. And Aaron Glenn's a really good head coach, so they should be able to figure it out. ninja: If I was in a survivor pool, I I might do Jets BTA this week, just slap on there. Lord Hinkie: Ooh, that's cheeky. That's fun. moving on. Patriots at the Bills. Man, this game used to be such a fun one to look forward to. And now it's just kind of like how many points are the Bills gonna win by? the Pats ninja: Ha ha. Lord Hinkie: absolutely sucked last week. And this year, but like last week they look god off against the Jags. and the Bills have been dominating. They right now they look like the best team in football. I think this is gonna be a pretty quick one for the Bills. Josh Allen's a stud. James Cook's a stud. Keenan Allen is solid and if DJ Moore's out there you're playing DJ Moore. ninja: No qualms. Lord Hinkie: Patriot side of things. I guess this is where we can kind of have our discussion. I think I'm okay playing Trayvon Henderson. I still like him as the back there if he had to pick one, especially against this Bills defense. It notoriously is not very good against the run. I don't like any of the Patriots pass catchers. I don't really love Hunter Henry. He hasn't done the runs since year. Do we have to have this conversation about Drake May? ninja: Yes. Lord Hinkie: Here's how I'll preface it. I think this is my first you have to prove it to me week. The Bills defense is not great. You're expected to be down in this game. You're going to be losing. The Bills are going to score points. You're going to have to throw the ball. You're going to have to move the ball. If Drake May duds this week against the Bills, I think I'm now having the conversation about not starting him. But I think. he should have a good game this week on paper. So ninja: I agree, on paper he should have a good game, but I like I said, in film breakdown I watched this week, the kid does not look confident. His footwork his footwork is getting bad and he's not progressing through his reads the right way. I d I think I'm okay sitting him. I I hate to do it, but if you have two other solid guys you you ha like I think I'm starting Daniel Jones this week over Drake May. And like if you have another like If you have a Bryce Young this week, I'm happily starting Bryce Young over Drake May this week, so Lord Hinkie: happily starting Bryce Young. We'll talk about that later. But yeah, Bryce Young is one of my top quarterbacks this week. So ninja: Love Lord Hinkie: yeah, I I agree. I think but for me, I'm playing him one more time. I'm I'm letting him break my heart one more time and then I'm gonna have to move on. Next ninja: Yeah, I hate to see it. Lord Hinkie: hate to see it. Next up we got the Jaguars at the Bengals. speaking of the Jags absolutely stomping the Patriots last week. Look like a really, really good, well rounded football team. T Law is slinging it. Ace throwing it to everybody. Parker Washington looks like a legit NFO wide receiver. I really did not think I would be able to say that out loud after watching that kid play at Penn State. But I I love them at Penn State, but I just didn't think he was an NFL guy. Turns out he frickin' is. and then the Bengals losing a heartbreaker against the Steelers last week. This is going to be a really interesting game because I think the biggest matchup that I'm watching. is this Jags pass rush that's been playing really well so far this year and going up against this Bengals offensive line and Joe Burrow's playstyle. Because whenever the Bengals historically have gone up against good pass rushes, they just set Burrow up in in the shotgun and he's throwing the ball within two seconds. Like he's checked down, checked down the slot, slant, slant, slant, and he kind of methodically moves the ball down the field. So I'm very interested to see how th these two teams match up. for the Bengals side, I think it's, you know, all it goes. Burrow, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, Chase Brown, I think are all really good starts. I'm probably sitting Gasicki. I I don't love Gasicki. I'm not a Gasicki guy. he's he's just gonna be touchdown dependent. But I expect big games from the stars this week. and Jack side of things. T Law is a week in and week out starter. Bashall Tutin, same thing. He's getting a lot of touches, getting a lot of work and he looks good. Parker Washington He's an every week starter right now. And I I I didn't think I'd be able to say that, but I think if you have Parker Washington, you're playing him in your flex, you're playing in wide receiver spot. and Jacoby Myers would be the other one I'd be willing to start. I expect this game to be a shootout. I expect there to be a lot of points. Myers seems to catch touchdowns and he's kind of a T Loss second go to guy there. Brian Thomas is dead. And Brenton Strains, I think, is fine. I think Ren screens is alright too if you want to play I like a lot of the weapons in this game. I expect it to be very high score. ninja: Absolutely agree. No qualms. pound that over this week. Lord Hinkie: Word. I think the over under is like fifty one and a half and I really feel like that's way too low. ninja: Yeah, I kinda agree. Hit that over. Lord Hinkie: Like I would I like I would expect this game to like thirty five, twenty eight. ninja: That's around the park I was thinking. Lord Hinkie: should is Brian Thomas worth having a discussion about on a podcast? ninja: yes. but here's the deal. If you're trying to get rid of Brian Thomas Jr., you probably spend a first round pick to get him. Right? He's only in year three. We try and give wide receivers a little bit of time. Although recency bias, you know, what have you done for me lately is gonna really kick in. But you spend a first round pick on him. What are you gonna unload him for? Like a twenty-eight second maybe? But he needs to have a good week for you to unload him. Lord Hinkie: I just wanna throw this out here because I've seen I just looked at it and I feel like I have to say it out loud. Brian Thomas in this league of record that I'm in was traded for JSN and a twenty seven first. ninja: Whoa, that's Lord Hinkie: in January of twenty twenty five. So last end of season. Yeah. ninja: Last off season, yeah. How the turns tabled. Lord Hinkie: and yes, can you imagine being the guy who traded away JSN and a first round and a twenty seven first round pick? ninja: Not just not just JSN, but the golden Euro picks in the first round. You can't do it. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, the guy who did do this trade no longer does fantasy list, so that's probably good. But yeah, his rookie year ends up being the wide receiver four and all the fantasy and then absolute dud last year and he's like he's not even on the field. He had a thirty seven percent snap percentage last week. He's not even like getting on the ninja: Yeah, I don't Lord Hinkie: field for them. It's it's so sad. I hope you traded him two years ago. ninja: One thing I kinda saw that whole draft class with wide receivers and we thought it was a loaded wide receiver class going in, Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: everyone's starting to like kinda underwhelm and it's we thought it was really deep, we thought it was really good, and it's kinda looking like it's not been worth it. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. I mean to say a few, like Marvin Harrison, Malik Neighbors, who else was in that draft class? Was that Lab McConkey? ninja: I think that was Ladd McConkey draft. Lord Hinkie: Brian Thomas. There's a couple other ones, but this ninja: That was was that the XL class too? Lord Hinkie: I think it was, yeah, XL. ninja: So like a bunch of guys who kinda like some guys, you know, had big starts and Malik neighbors, BTJ, and then it's kinda all just been meh since. Lord Hinkie: Just all meh. Sorry, I was looking up a list. Roma D'un Zay was also on that team. Xavier Worthy, Ricky Pearsall, which is kind of unlucky. But my guy Jalen Polk, who's literally not even playing football anymore. ninja: Out the league. Lord Hinkie: Out the league. Jalen McMillan, Troy Franklin, Adane Mitchell. Chat out. He's honestly one of the top names on that list still, and that's sad. all right, moving on here. Cardinals at the Giants. Yuck. Let me hit you with a ninja: I got you. This is dubbed the ninjas worst game of the week. Lord Hinkie: Absolute crap. not much to talk about for this game. the d I I guess fantasy wise there's a little bit. this could be the Giants first game with JJ McCarthy. I don't expect him to start or play, but he will probably be there. They'll probably throw Winston out for a week and then let JJ get acclimated. But we shall see. And then this Cardinals offense, I guess, does look pretty good, but they cannot stop anybody. So maybe this will be a high scoring game. Who knows? for me, Cam Scadaboo. I think this is a good matchup for him. I expect him to get a lot of touches and yes, everyone knows they're handing him with ball, but the Cardinals can't stop him anyway, so that's fine. And then if Winston is starting, I'm expecting Winston to start, I'd be pretty okay playing Middle League Labors and Isaiah Likely in this matchup. I think it's gonna be a sneaky, high scoring game. Yeah, that's all I got. Like I'm ninja: I I Lord Hinkie: just I'm just hoping the Cardos defense sucks. ninja: This is this is gross. I just don't I like I don't know. I just don't I want any action, but like if you have neighbors you gotta play neighbors. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. And then it's like if you're gonna start likely in a matchup this year, you're gonna start him against the Cardinals. ninja: Yeah. I I wanna be as far away from this game as possible, but I'm also like kinda interested in what neighbors and likely and Scataboe can do. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, like it's like you don't wanna watch but you have to. It's like you're peeking at it through a window. ninja: Yeah. Side eyeing it the whole night. Hate it. Do I know you? Lord Hinkie: cardinal side of th Yeah, you're like Yeah. D am I gonna talk to you? Do you wanna talk to me first? Yeah, let's just move on. Cardinal side, Jeremiah Love is a guy. You're playing him week in and week out now. Trey McBride's a stud. He always will always was and always will be. even the down weeks gotta fight through him. And then Michael Wilson to wide receiver one there. you're not playing Marv. ninja: No qualms. Lord Hinkie: Moving on here, Titans at the Ravens. the Titans are a tough team to predict because they're kind of hit or miss, they're hot or cold, and you know, they're pretty much just cold most of the time. ninja: Yes and no. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. I I know you know how to predict them. but then the Ravens ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: win that banger in Brazil against the Cowboys that we talked about earlier. I'm expecting them to just boat race the Titans this week. is this a Carnell Tate breakout game? ninja: mm could be. Lord Hinkie: Gan s against this Raven secondary that's you know, not too great. ninja: Could be. I like another receiver Lord Hinkie: Maybe. ninja: there too. Lord Hinkie: Juana Robinson? ninja: I like I Manor? Lord Hinkie: yeah, that guy. I've heard you talk about ninja: He's been pretty good but one but one Dale had a good week last week, so Lord Hinkie: Yeah, you've talked about him once or twice. ninja: Yeah, he he might be a my guy or might not be a my guy. He definitely is. Lord Hinkie: I expect Wandale to catch a lot of passes this week, so I'd be cool starting him. I'm expecting the Titans to be down in a negative matchup and throwing the ball a lot, so give me Wandale to just catch six or seven passes. that's kind of why I'm maybe throwing my hat into the ring for a Carnel tape breakout game. because they're gonna be down to throwing the ball. But then again, they just could suck 'cause Kard might not be good. Raven side of things, you're playing Lamar. You're playing Derek Henrique because your studs. I can almost expect like I hate to say it but a downer week from them if they end up getting up super big super early. Kinda hard to tell. Zay Flowers is now healthy, you're playing him week in, week out. And I'm throwing a I'm gonna do this thing, I think. I'm gonna add my own segment to the podcast. I'm throwing in a g a juniors dart throw anytime touchdown, pick of the week, where I pick some booty guy who's got high odds to score, and I just pick him to score a random touchdown each week. And I've been doing it kind of low key throughout the podcast and I didn't even realize I was doing it. But now I'm making it a segment, so you're welcome. this week my dart throw anytime touchdown is Justice Hill for the Ravens. he hasn't gotten too many carries because Derrick Henry's been frickin' awesome. But I'm expecting the Ravens to be up big. I'm expecting them to be up huge, and I legit think they might start playing backups. So give me a Justice Hill anytime touchdown against the Titans. Book it. ninja: Wood, no qualms. Love it. Lord Hinkie: I love when I talk for like ten minutes and you're like, No qualms it's like, so I I'm good. ninja: I mean you summed it up perfectly. I wouldn't have wrote it any different. Justice Hill, any timer? Love it. Do I have to start him this week in one of my rosters? That's so bad. Lord Hinkie: Wide Honestly, it I if I if it's the roster I think it is, you should. ninja: D Lord Hinkie: next one here, if this one's a banger. Rams at the Eagles. Well I think at least I think it'll be a banger, but you know, we suck. on paper this is gonna be a really good game. the Rams get another tough matchup. They've had a really rough start to the year. They're one and two with that you know, loss last week to the Broncos. And I think the Eagles are again looking for a bounce back after that shellacking that they received at the hands of Ben Johnson and Case Keenum on Monday Night Football. So I think this is gonna be an intriguing one. as of now with the reports of for the Rams side is that Puka Nakua will be back. I'm still keeping my eye on it. They've been saying it for the last two weeks, so we shall see. But if Puka Nakua plays, I think you gotta play him. Kyron Williams, good start. We haven't been able to stop the run Pretty much at all this year. and even with Puka playing, I'm pretty good starting Devontae Adams in fantasy. I don't love it. I think the Eagles secondary is like their brightest spot, so I don't love both playing. If Puka's out, I like Devontae Adams. If Puka's in, I only like Puka. And I'm not playing a tight end without Terrence Roberson. ninja: one thing, I don't have any qualms here, but keep your eye especially if Puka continues to have this nagging injury, Kanada Mumfield had a great game last week. maybe Lord Hinkie: Yeah, he did. ninja: look to stash him if you do have that opportunity. But no qualms. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. I do think he's a good dynasty stash for the future if, you know, one of these wide receivers end up being out. That's a good shout. Eagles side, you're playing Jalen Hurts, you're paying SaeCon Barkley, playing Devontae Devontae Smith. and then I'm out. I and I need to see more growth from this offense for me to get excited about really anybody else. Like I like the Davian Wicks after week one. I've been holding my tongue about Mikhail Lemon, but I I need to see some growth this week and even if we lose, I I need to just see some positive aspects for this offense. ninja: Yeah. We gotta see any type of improvement. Lord Hinkie: Just learning from your mistakes. ninja: Yeah. But we definitely do gotta switch up the game plan a little bit. but no qualms. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Offensive line looks like they kind of bounced back a little bit last week. I think this Drew Kendall kid's playing pretty good at center. Mylotta's got his legs under him, Lane's got his legs under him. So let's run the ball a little bit, let's see what we can do, but you know, to be determined. ninja: Yeah, d I do think we gotta start pounding the rock a little bit more. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. And give Bigsby the ball. I know he fumbled last week and yes it sucked. But Bigsby's got some juice too, so let's let's whenever we bring Bigsby in the game we're just not doing jack with him. Like let's pull let's let's keep removing that rock. Anyways, moving on. Packers at the Bucks. Packers look like dog water, but then, you know, it looks like the Bucks are the ones that are drinking it. This these two teams absolutely suck. This is not going to be a fun game to watch. I want no parts of it. This would be my gross game of the week. for the Bucks. Jalen ninja: Yeah. Lord Hinkie: Daniels is going to be starting. It's going to be his first career start. He had one pass last week and it was a pick. And yes, I know it was a Hail Mary that got intercepted. It's not his fault, but it still looks bad. Bucky Irving shaken up, but he's going to start. For me, it's like Agbuka because you have to, and then Bucky Irving, because you have to, probably, and then I'm ninja: maybe my favorite one liner. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: at least in a long time. That's so good. It's I wish my face Lord Hinkie: I wrote that and I was like, That's bagging. ninja: cam wasn't malfunctioning right now because you would see me crying. Lord Hinkie: I would have loved to see that. ninja: it's that's so good, buddy. You g give yourself a round of applause. That's terrific work. Lord Hinkie: Thank you, thank you. Actually do I do I have that? I do. ninja: Yeah. that's some stellar work. I think that Lord Hinkie: I do this for a living. ninja: Hey Zig, clip that and put that out there. On the Instagram streets. Lord Hinkie: Wood. on the Packers side, I think I think love is decent in this game. Watson and Golden are weak end starts at this point. especially if we know Jaden Reed and Tucker Kraft. We're we're playing Tucker Craft? ninja: I think you have to. Lord Hinkie: I think you have to too, but like do ya? Yeah. ninja: It's it's not a good look. But like who like you know, like I don't even know ballpark or like tight ends around him. Are you starting to like a Tyler Higby in his place? Like no. Are you starting like Lord Hinkie: No. Are you playing I'm playing Mark Andrews above ninja: Yeah. Are you playing like a gunner helm over No. Lord Hinkie: No. But I think he's I think he's a little bit in lower range than that. Like Brennan Strange playing Bretton Strange Mike Kusicki. You playing Mike Kissicki over Tucker Kraft? Yeah, I think ninja: Yes. No, no, no, no. Lord Hinkie: I'm playing Tuck Cr Tucker Kraft too. But that's just I think we have to have this conversation. It's we he needs to turn it around. I know he's coming off the injury, but still. Next up on ninja: I'd give it a little bit of time. Yep. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Next up on our list, Dolphins at the Vikings. the Dolphins lost Devon Achan for the year. And I think their season's already done and I know it's week four. the Vikings got Kyler back and they traded away JJ. I think this defense looks legit for the Vikings. I'm not playing the single dolphin. And yes, I know you just spent a bunch of fab money on Ollie Gordon and you want to put him in your lineup. Do not play him this week. He's playing the Minnesota Vikings, he's playing Brian Flores, and he's gonna get owned. He's gonna have fourteen carries for twenty-eight yards, and you're gonna be sad about it. And then you're gonna drop him next week. So don't play him. Put him on your bench. Wait until next week. Vikings side of things. If Justin Jefferson's healthy, I'm playing him. Aaron Jones looks good as well. I'm playing him. I like Karen Murray and Stuperflex League. And I might even throw in a Vikings defensive anytime touchdown pick. I think the Vikings role in this one. ninja: Love it. No qualms. BTA. Lord Hinkie: BTA. next one. Good game. Chiefs at the Raiders. The Chiefs stomped the Dolphins like last week, but you know, they're the Dolphins. And these Raiders, man, they keep on winning. Just win, baby. They keep on winning. Brock and Genty for me are gonna be weekly starts. Kirk Cousins. ninja: And it superflex, don't hit it. Lord Hinkie: I don't hate it. I know this Chiefs matchup might not be great fantasy wise, but I don't hate it at all. no wide receivers. Chiefs side of things, you're playing Mahomes, you're playing Kenneth Walker, you're playing Rasheed Rice, and I think Kelsey's a decent start too. He's caught a touchdown the last two weeks, but I don't love the matchup for Kelsey, but I think he started ninja: Yeah, no qualms. I think this is a better NFL game than fantasy game. I could see this one Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: being pretty low scoring, like a seventeen, thirteen kind of day, but Lord Hinkie: Yeah, divisional just smash mouth, run it up your face, kind of football. It's gonna be a fun one to watch. I'm excited to watch that. I think I believe it's a four o'clock or that'll be where my T V goes. Broncos at the forty niners. Another banger week. the Broncos won a really good game Sunday night. I wish I could have stayed up and watched that game. Big comeback win in the second half to beat the Rams. And then the Forty Niners just continue to roll, man. They look like a really good football team and I hate to keep putting myself on blast, but I might have placed a forty Niners to miss the playoffs bet before the year start started. And it does not look good. And yes, I did cash that out for less than half of what I put into it. But anyways, ninja: Ha ha ha. Lord Hinkie: the Niners look really good. you're playing C C for the Niners, you're playing Kittle, whatever wide receiver is left standing for The forty nineers I'm probably playing. Debo's looked really good. He had the big touchdown last week. if Mike Evans is in, do you play him against Patrick Sertan? Probably not. ninja: Probably not. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, probably not. And then Debo, I think, is fine just because I don't think he matches up well against Sertan. So I think he'll kind of do his own thing. But you're playing C C you're playing Kittle. You're playing Purdy. I didn't throw that in there, but you're playing Purdy. Bronco side of things, I think Bo Nicks is fine in a super flex. Waddle and Sutton are just they're hard to predict right now. They're super inconsistent, they're up and down. Sutton's been more low than up. so I think I think they're all right. I d I probably like Waddle more in this matchup just for big plays, but who knows? And if he had to pick a running back, I think I like Harvey in this matchup. I think they're gonna be throwing the ball a little bit more. And he used the pass catching back there for the Broncos. So give me Harvey. ninja: yeah, last week if you watched the second half of the Broncos game, it turned into a track meet all of a sudden. It was kinda great football to watch. but for the Broncos, Sutton is on timeout for a week. Get him out of your lineup. Lord Hinkie: Mm-hmm. ninja: Waddle I think I'm okay with and I think if you do have to start a running back, I do agree Harvey is the one I would lean towards. And then CMC and Kittle are great, and I think I stay away from wide receivers. if you're San Francisco. Just cause who is it really? Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: But no qualms. Sun's on timeout though, stay there. Bad boy. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. Sit down. Chargers at the Seahawks. Please Lord. Please football gods. Let the Seahawks continue to just ruin this LA Chargers season. I'm I I I don't know if I was the first one in the football space to put John Harbaugh on what John Harbaugh? I always screw this up. Jim Harbaugh. I don't know. ninja: Yeah, it's Jim. I think it's Jim. Lord Hinkie: I think it's Jim Harbaugh. I can't even say his name right. I was the first one to put him on the hot seat and I'm standing by it. I I think he's gotta take some accountability. I don't think he manages the game well. I think he hired I I think he hired a good offensive coordinator. I why am I blanking on the Dorks name? Mike McDaniels, Jesus. ninja: Mike McDaniel? Lord Hinkie: I swear I do a podcast. I know what I'm talking about. I I like the hire in a nutshell 'cause Mike B. Daniel's gonna make a really good coordinator. But I think their two football mindsets clash way too much, and now we're seeing that production on the football field and it's gross. but yeah, I think Harbaugh's on the hot seat. Herbert sucks. if you're I'm not I'm honestly I'm not playing a single charger in this game. And I don't feel that bad about the Seahawks defense is awesome. They're playing in Seattle. I don't like it for Hampton. I don't like it for Herbert. I don't like it for Ladd McConkey. You're not playing anyone else, anyways. Sit all your chargers until further notice. Even in Superflex Leagues, I am not playing Herbert. ninja: this week for me for the Chargers, it's kinda like you you you gotta like sack up, put your nuts on the table, and like really get after it. You have to show something. You have to be competent and take down a good team. looked decent at the beginning point of last week, but everyone knew Bills were gonna start running away and they did. But the Chargers really gotta to quote one of my favorite movies of all time, gotta nut up or shut up. and th I think this is the week where if you're gonna prove to your fans in the NFL community that you're a real deal team, this is the week you gotta do it. You have to upset defending champs on the road. but I do agree you gotta set And I would sit her this is a week I w I agree with you. I'm fine sitting Herbert in Superflex. Lord Hinkie: Yeah, like I'm playing Jacoby Brissett over Justin Herbert. ninja: Yes, this week absolutely. Lord Hinkie: There's a lot of lot of quarterbacks you can name and I'm playing I'm playing Kyler Murray over Justin Urban. ninja: What? Lord Hinkie: Boneck. ninja: What? Lord Hinkie: Sam Darnold on the other side of this. ninja: What? Lord Hinkie: Speaking of, you're playing JSN, he's the best wide receiver in football right now. I think price is good. I think it's a good matchup for him. I think he's the best back in that backfield. I know he fumbled last week and they put him on timeout. He's coming back this week and it'll be fine. And like I said, I'm playing Sam Darnold in the Superflex League, so ninja: No qualm. Lord Hinkie: The qualms. Sunday night football, baby. Woo! Guess what? We don't have to watch the Rams or the Chiefs play football. Isn't that awesome? ninja: what a glorious day. Lord Hinkie: That's beautiful. I get to tune in to a primetime matchup and I don't have to hear Mahomes or the story about Stafford and look at his big old veneers. I don't need to do it. I need I get to watch the Lions at the Panthers. We're going to Carolina, ladies and gentlemen. Let's frickin' go. ninja: And one of the biggest reasons this is Game of the Week is because it's not those two teams, but this is dubbed ninjas game of the week. Banger game. Banger. Lord Hinkie: Banger alert. I need a banger alert segment. I want a I want like I don't know what it is, but I'm gonna come up with it and and it's just for these big games where it's just a bunch of alarms and flashing noises. It's gonna be awesome. Anyways, I think this is gonna be a really good game and I'd like the Panthers to win this one at home too. I think the Lions have looked gettable these last couple weeks. I like the Panthers I like the Panthers game a lot. I like what Bryce Young's doing. I'm starting Bryce Young in one quarterback league. I talked about it earlier. I think Bryce Young's a top eight to six quarterback this week. I think he's gonna have a really good matchup. the Lions defense stinks, especially the secondary. I love a big game from Tet McMillan. I like Chuba Hubbard in this matchup. I don't know the status for Jalen Coker, but if he's playing, I'm playing him. And if he's not playing, I'm ninja: Say it. Lord Hinkie: I don't mind taking a dart throw on XL, baby. Don't mind it at all. Do not mind it at all. ninja: Let's go. Lord Hinkie: I absolutely love this matchup for the Panthers. I want every piece of this game. ninja: Yeah, You're talking to a Bryce Young and Xavier Legate Trither. Absolutely love it. no qualms whatsoever. Throw your d you what, I'll put a Darth through out there too for this week, Xavier Legate any timer. Chalk it. Lord Hinkie: Absolutely love this game. And then on the other side, the Lions. Obviously you're playing Jameer Gibbs. I don't need to tell you the winning lineup. Sun God, same thing. You're playing him. Jared Goff, love. Playing him in Superflex leagues, probably even playing him in one QB leagues. I think he's gonna be that good. Sam Laporta, love. We'll talk about him later for Ninja, but I like this matchup. Jameson Williams, let's talk about him. I think no matter what the matchup is. He's a dart throw. If it's a good matchup, if it's a bad matchup, if it's a good defense, if it's bad defense, if they're playing at home, if they're playing away, it's a dart throw with Jameson Williams. He's been down so far this year. But JC Horn is out for the season for the Panthers. They're only good secondary their best defensive player. Corner. I think J Mo catches a bomb this week. I know I said it last week, but I'm saying it again. If you ha if he can, start J Mo. ninja: I mean, one of these weeks you'll be right about him catching a bomb. It's just a matter of time. Lord Hinkie: It's gonna I want it so bad. ninja: But for me I'm probably not picking the Panthers outright, although I absolutely love it. But smash the over. If the over isn't like sixty three and a half, hit the over. I think this is gonna be a great game. Lord Hinkie: It's going to be so so fun to watch. I'm taking a nap in between the four o'clockers and the Sunday football game so I can stay up and watch this game. just another added tidbit. if XL ends up being out or Jalen Coker ends up being out, also give me a cheeky John Mechie touchdown. I love this I love this Panthers team this week. Give me a right all ninja: Ooh, very cheeky. We just throw in dart throws all over this game. Lord Hinkie: of Tommy Trimble. ninja: Ooh, I actually love that dart throw. That's a good one to have. I might bet that. Lord Hinkie: I'm s what other what other Carolina Panther can name and just hear you say, I love that. ninja: Ha ha ha. Lord Hinkie: I have literally no undernames. Anyways. ninja: Ha ha. Lord Hinkie: gonna be such a good game. Monday night football. This is also gonna be a good game, but for different reasons. Falcons at the Saints. Big division divisional matchup on Monday Night Football. I still like the Saints team, even though they lost against the Raiders last week. but this Falcons team looked really good Thursday against the Packers. They get an a they get so many added days of rest since their last football game, going from a Thursday night game to a Monday night game. it's gonna be a fun one. I I like this game a lot. It's gonna be very interesting. Falcons, B. John's a stud, playing them every week. Drake London with Michael Penix is an every week start and you can't tell me not. and then Michael Penix. Superflex leagues, I'd think about it. If you're asking me if I should play Michael Penix or Drake May, I am ninja: Heartbroken, bring back the violins. Lord Hinkie: Playing playing Drake May. And I'm thinking about it. But not no cow pits. ninja: Sh no calms. Lord Hinkie: Saints side, Olave's good. He's always he's he he's gonna catch eight passes for a hundred yards. That's what Chris Olave does. No touchdowns yet at this year, I don't think, but maybe one this week. I think Shuck is solid in superflex leagues. this Falcons defense was notoriously bad through the first two weeks, but then the Packers made them look good somehow. I expect it to come back to the other way, so I think Shuck would be pretty solid in Superflex leagues. And then this backfield, I'm just waiting and seeing. sorry. You should start to want John Johnson, the tight end. but this backfield I'm waiting and seeing. ninja: yeah, I think I although this would be the matchup where I would love to start a running back, it's but I don't feel comfortable throwing out Camara. Lord Hinkie: Yeah. If you're gonna play anybody it'd be Kamara, but I hate it. ninja: Yeah, I hate it too. but if you have to I guess it's fine. I think I'm good on Juwan Johnson, I think. Lord Hinkie: Ooh. ninja: not sure if I love it, but like it's a division game. Probably someone gross is gonna have a good game. You know what? Another Darth Road, give me a Jahan Dotson any timer. What? Falcons, love it. Lord Hinkie: Would to trying to think of obscure football players that I can name. There we're gonna score a touchdown. Man, I wish Jordan Tyson was coming back for this game, but he's not. all right, I think that that bout routes it wraps it up. man, we're at hour twenty in this bad boy. Sorry Zig. Have fun editing this buddy love you. ZNG ninja: Ha ha Lord Hinkie: parley of the week. We don't have to talk about last week. No one wants to talk about last week. Ninja doesn't want talk about last week. Zig missed the podcast again strictly because he didn't want to talk about all of our touchdowns not scoring for the parley last week. But we're not gonna talk about it. It's a new week. ninja: It's new program. Lord Hinkie: New program. Zng, parley of the week. Zig not here to give his pick, but he's picking Nico Collins. ninja: Called Lord Hinkie: Plus 115. Obviously, this is expecting him to play. I do think Nico Collins plays this week, even if he's in like 80%. I think you play him. I think he has a good matchup. just in case Nico did not play. Zig threw out a Christian Watson any timer. So if if it comes around and Nico Collins is out, Zig's backup pick for the week is Christian Watson, who I kinda like that to be honest. But Nico coming back, they need him desperately, throw him the ball. my pick this week is Zig's pick from last week that did not hit. I love Tedderoan McMillan in this matchup. I've been talking about the Panthers for the last ten minutes. I like Bryce Young a lot. I think he's gonna throw the ball to Tet McMillan a lot. There's no one on that Detroit secondary that can play with Tet McMillan, throw the man the ball, get him his first touchdown of the year. Give me Ted McMillan plus one twenty. Sorry, Zig. He's mine. ninja: Love it. for my pick of the Z and G Parlay, kind of a banished member for the parlay section. I'm gonna try and revive him this week. bring him back in the good gracious of junior from last season. Give me Zay Flowers any timer this week. plus one sixty five. Probably the best matchup the Ravens are gonna have all year. Zay Flowers, plus one sixty five. Lord Hinkie: Love that. And then I'm quickly typing in all of our odds to try and get your parlay odds. So if you do Nico for plus one fifteen, Tet for plus one twenty and Jay Flowers for plus one sixty five. that gives you plus eleven thousand odds. So ten dollar bet wins you about a hundred and fifteen bucks. Nothing crazy, but hey, we're buying you dinner. Take the lady out, go get some drinks. have yourself a nice day. Let's please win a parlay. Let it be the first one of the year. ninja: Need it. Lord Hinkie: Speaking of winning the parlay, ninja, what do you got? ninja: after being absolutely crushed last week. I said if I didn't win I was gonna make it chalk and you know my type of chalk. A little bit of a tight end par like feel right back at home. Lord Hinkie: Who doesn't love a good tight end? ninja: God, I love tight ends. first tight end is gonna be Tyler Warrenson at plus one fifty five kids a stud. Lord Hinkie: Love that. ninja: next one is Isaiah likely at plus two forty. Jameis Winston JJ McCarthy kind of have to throw the ball to somebody. Let it be Isaiah Likely. probably my favorite one out of these, Sam Laporta at plus one ninety-five. I think that's the best odds this week. Love that. And then Dalton Schultz Revenge Tour in the Texas matchup at plus two twenty. Love it. If you had all those up, it brings it to about eight thousand four hundred and twenty-five odds. Five Lord Hinkie: Choo. ninja: five bones to win you four twenty, baby. Four twenty cash. Lord Hinkie: I I absolutely love this parley this week. ninja: It's it's one of the most beautifully cultivated. I feel like I'm getting more refined in my parlays. And Lord Hinkie: Yeah. ninja: I'm just you know, fine-tuning the recipe a little bit more and a little bit more, and last week we were close to perfection. Did I forget a little bit of salt at the end, you know? Did I forget one little tiny ingredient? Maybe that's why it didn't work out, but we're back this week. My chalk tight end parlay this week. Bet it. Love it. Lord Hinkie: I love it. I really like that pick. I like all the matchups for all the players in it. I think I think we got something special cooking this week. and I'm definitely gonna be tailing you like I did last week. So but yeah, I think that brings us to the end of the podcast. thank you guys for listening. Appreciate you guys tuning in. slightly long one, you know, that Penn State losing to Wisconsin will do that to you. but this was a fun one to do as always.

Lord Hinkie: Yeah. I mean hockey's around the corner, dude. I am I'm jacked up for hockey this year. that was the first text I sent out after the Penn State loss to Wisconsin was who's ready for some hockey action? And ninja: Ha ha.

They just want to rant about how excited they were about the season and how disappointed they are already and it's like week four. but just listen. That's all they need.
