  Speaker 2: and jump into it. The top performers of week seven
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: went crazy. And I ain't gonna lie to you. This
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: one kind of shocked me though. First up, Tony Pollard.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, and it shocked me, not because he was
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the top dog this week.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: It shocked me because we ain't seen him up here
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in a while.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I feel like probably since he was with Dallas, honestly.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm keeping it all the way real with you.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: But bro went crazy from the Tennessee Titans running back,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Tony Pollard. 36 and a half points, 25 carries, 129 yards.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Three tutties, dog. Three catches, 26 yards for a total
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: of 155 scrimmage yards.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Bro went crazy. And then next up, top scoring receiver. Hey,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I miss you, dog. I miss you.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: JSN, Jackson Smith, and Jigba from the Seattle Seahawks.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Honestly, really, I'm just updating stats, keeping a buck with you.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? He go crazy every week.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Had 31.3 fantasy points.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Nine catches, 150 yards, one teddy, two rushes, 13 yards.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: JSN a giving, bro. He go crazy. Top scoring quarterback,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. Shout out to LSU for that one, man. Look,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow from the Cincinnati Bengals, 31.8 fantasy points, 292 yards,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: four teddies. He even had two rushes, 12 rushing yards.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that was probably just scrambles, and then he
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: just made it, extended the play. But Joe Burrow really
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: do his thing. I'm glad to see that he healthy
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: this late in the season. There's always a question with
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: We know he good.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: The question is, can he stay healthy? It's good to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: see that he healthy because you can see what he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: can do. And then we got Trey McBride, another staple,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: another staple. Look, from the Cardinals, dog, Arizona Cardinals, 27 points, 27.1
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to be exact. Ten catches, 111 yards, one tutting. Look,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Trey McBride is a given. He's been the top scorer.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He's been the top tight end, I think, for about.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Three years now. I ain't gonna lie to you, about
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: three years.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And then the Buccaneers, D, they rank number two in fantasy, too.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So if they're available in your league like they are
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: in mine, you need to go get them. Because they're
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the number two ranked fantasy defense. Look, they had 28 points.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: They allowed only 13 points. They locked up Carolina, too.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: They locked up Carolina.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Look, they allowed.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, they allowed 13 points, had two picks, two
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: fumble recoveries, five sacks, one teddy.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Those were your studs. Let's go and talk about what's
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: up next.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Look, injury recap, as always, if you've been locked in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: with me, rocking with me, I'll let you know. Before
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I get into it, I always like to keep the
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: perspective that these players are human.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: So prayers up to these players, man.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: We want to make sure that they get to as
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: close to 100% as possible. So first up, man, this
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: was a heartbreaker, man. Cole Komet from the Chicago Bears.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Knee injury out for the year. Christian McCaffrey.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And stay tuned.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I got some little info about this one. Christian McCaffrey, man,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: running back. Been dealing with some thigh issues, hamstring, quad issues.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: He did leave.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: He did return. Aaron Jones, Minnesota running back. Left knee
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: aggravated a previous MCL injury. He did not come back.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Be on the lookout for some of that work. Been
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: hearing Jonathan Taylor might get traded to them.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: That would be crazy if they let him go to Minnesota, though.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: They might be a contender.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Jalen Waterman, wide receiver from the Denver Broncos.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Chest, shoulder injury. He didn't return, but I did see
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: somebody as a possibility he could play in week eight.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Stay on the lookout for that one, though. Beware of
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Tyrone Tracy, running back, hamstring issues. He did exit during
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the first half. But I'd like to see what I
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: saw from the running back room out there in New York.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Them Giants, them boys was balling. They look like they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: rock with each other too. Cam Scadaboo also had a
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: hamstring injury. He reported some discomfort. I don't know if
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you saw that run. He had a long run against
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Houston in that overtime. And he just kind of just
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: dropped weird, fell off. Say he reported some discomfort during that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Stay posted on that. I keep y'all locked in with
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: them injury updates throughout the week. Make sure y'all follow
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: me on Instagram. Jalen Noel, Houston, Texas, wide receiver, turf toe.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He was seen wearing a walking boot, though, so that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: never good. It ain't always bad, but it's never good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Rasheed Shaheed, former Saint. You see the sign back there.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Wide receiver from the Seattle Seahawks. Had a knee injury,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: did leave in the second half, did not return. From
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the Saints, C.J. Donaldson had a shoulder injury, ruled out
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: during the game. Woody Marks, Houston Texans running back, knee left,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: then returned. Drake London, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver, undisclosed. He left,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: but he did return. Kobe Parkinson, L.A. Rams tight end, undisclosed,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: multiple injury stoppages.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He returned.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Then Matthew Golden, wide receiver from the Green Bay Packers, undisclosed,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: briefly left, but he also returned.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: That is your injury recap. Make sure you stay locked in.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: If you got any of those players on your roster,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: don't hesitate to go get their backup real quick.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for the Hustlers Pickup. That's the waiver-wide scoop.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You know, I'll give y'all a couple names who y'all
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: can go get, help y'all get some dubs.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Whether they stream to stay, who knows?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The only point is, all you can do is play
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: for the week that's ahead, and that's week eight.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I'm excited about this one, though. K.C., Concepcion.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Look, bro had a day. Bro had a day. And
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I like it because he's widely available. Look, he had
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: 23 fantasy points this last week in week seven. If
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, he had, what, eight? I believe he
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: had eight for like, let me see. He had, yeah,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: eight catches for 129. 129.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Look at that. That's a crazy day, bro.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Crazy day at 23.2. He is 42.9% roster. He has
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: had five targets in four of six games this season.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: So I like what he do. He's averaging 9.9 fantasy
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: points this season. I'm expecting that to go up over
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the course of the season. Uh, he also plays 79%
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: of the snaps, which lets me know he is firmly
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the number two receiver for the Browns. And he's averaging
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: just as you see here, uh, He's averaging just under
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: seven targets in his last five weeks.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, what's that? 5.7, I believe.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: But over his last five weeks, he's averaging just under
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: seven targets. So the work is steady. You can definitely
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: trust KC Concepcion. Do not hesitate. He can help you
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: get a dub. Hunter Henry from the New England Patriots.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: He's 47.2% rostered. He's definitely tight in one place, 76%
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: of the snaps. averaging a little over five targets over.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: His last four.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And then in that same stretch, bro, he getting you 13.38
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: fantasy points in that same stretch.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know about y'all. I need that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I got Tyler Warren. He let me down his last
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: week because he was hurt. He having a good year,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: but man, I could use that 13.38. I'm not even
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: going to lie to you. So Hunter Henry. And the
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: thing is, bro, you know, it's funny because Hunter Henry,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: one of them players where he'll be sitting on the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: waiver wide. It's like, man, I should go get him.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Then you go get him, he don't do nothing. Then
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: you drop him, he go crazy. And then he go
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: crazy for a little stretch too. It ain't like he
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: just a one hitter quitter dude. Hunter Henry is like that.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: You can trust him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Next up, got the young bull from Philadelphia, from the Eagles,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Makai Lemon. 37 and a half percent roster. And then
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I ain't gonna lie, his last game, he had eight targets.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: He's averaging seven targets over the course of the season.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: He's averaging just under seven in that same four-game stretch.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: What I love about that is think about the QB
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: situation he's been dealing.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: With, not just him. I know he's not a QB,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: but my point is think about what Philly been going
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: through with the Jalen Hurts situation.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy, by the way. I hope he soon
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: draws off of it. But if he don't, shout out
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: to Jalen because we know he a class act. But
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: think about what they've been dealing with with that whole fiasco.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And then you got Tanner McKee in where we don't
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: really know, you know, how good Tanner could be or
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: what he could do. He's shown flashes, but he's not
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: always a killer like that.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: But think about it.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Kyle Lemon averaging seven targets regardless of who the quarterback is.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And I love that for the young boy. Now, I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: know last week or yesterday, Monday, Dallas, they played Dallas.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, they got one of the worst defenses.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: So I don't know.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: You know, but I believe that Lemon, you know, he
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: was a hot pick in the draft for a reason.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: So I believe that seven is for real. I don't
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: think that's fluky. you can go get Makai Lemon. Like
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I said, he's 37.5% roster, so he's widely available.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Make sure you check him out to get a dub.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Kalen Black from the San Francisco 49ers, running back, 21.9% roster. Now,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: this is not as sexy as the other ones because
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: this is more for my people who need a stash spot.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He played 47% of the snaps in Week 7, but see,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I like this one because as I told you earlier
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: in the show, Christian McCaffrey is dealing with the hamstring injury.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: And as we know with Christian McCaffrey, we know CMC
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: really liked that. The problem with CMC is he has
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: an extensive injury history. So we don't always know if
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: he's going to be available. And just in case he's not,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: especially for the CMC managers out there, if you got
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: CMC on your team, you need to be going snatch
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Kalen Blackie, 21.9% roster. So that means he is widely available.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: You need to go snatch him up because you'll be
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: sick CMC go down, especially if he don't practice this week,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: he go down, he get hurt. And I believe they
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: got a buy here in week eight, but let's say,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: let's say, you know, something happened over the course of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the next two weeks or so.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like if he go down
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and get hurt, you want.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: To make sure you got that hand cap, hand cuff
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: in place.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Don't be like me and think you got time. You
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: never have time. You never too early on a guy.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So that's it on my, you know, on my, Hustlers pickups.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Now we're going to hit it with this risk at
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a bench. Got a bunch of start set calls for you.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Got a few, I got five for you. Something interesting,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: something a little easy.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? We pull, you know, we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: get players from everywhere.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: We look at the schedule, see what's going down, see
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: who got a good matchup, see who got a tough
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: matchup too. See if we can find some, you know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: some data, some way to help you get a dub.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: First up, I got Matthew Stafford.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm risking this. I'm risking this. He top 10 quarterback.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: You know, Stafford off of streaming upside, you know, passing volume,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: you know, he can do his thing.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And he got the charges this week. Now they got it.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: The charges do got a pretty style passing these top 10.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm not expecting this to be a cakewalk, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I do trust Matthew Stafford. The only problem is the
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: injuries are starting to mount up when it comes to,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: you know, uh, it's starting to mount up when it
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: comes to, you know, uh, the receivers, Devante been out, uh,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: I told you Kobe Parkinson got hurt.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, man.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: But Matthew Stafford is worth the risk this week when
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it comes up against the Chargers.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Number two, man.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young, quarterback from the Panthers. He got the Green
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Bay Packers this week. Now, Green Bay do present a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: challenging matchup. You know, Young fantasy ceiling to me has
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: expanded over the course of the season.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: He started off out the gate, bro. He looked crazy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Top 12 fantasy quarterback this season, at least in my league.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: We got a few, a little custom scoring.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: But he top 12. You know what I mean?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: At least as long as I've been playing, I ain't
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: never seen him being top 12. But the floor, as
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: he showed against Tampa Bay, the floor is still the same.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: The floor, he had scent. The floor is there. So
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the ceiling is great. The floor is the same. But
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: given the opponent this week, you got to consider that risk.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: And for me, that's too expensive of a cost for
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: me to risk it. So I say bench that. Ashton Genting,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: running back from the Raiders. He got the New York
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Jets this week. Look, his expected workload, we know what he's.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Going to do. You know, he's appealing. He looks like
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: an RB2. Receiving game, he's involved and all that. This
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: is the thing. I'm risking this. Risking this. The Jets
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: got the 24th ranked pass. I mean, excuse me.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: 24th ranked Russian defense. 18th in giving up fantasy points
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: to running backs.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: So you think about that.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: They bottom half of the league in giving up fantasy
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: points to running backs.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So to me, you definitely risk this. He can help
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: you get a dud.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Next up, we got Jalen Waddle from the Broncos. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: told you they got Kansas City this week. Told you
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: this week there was some rumblings that he could play.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: He did get injured in week seven, had a chest
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: shoulder injury. His availability, make sure we watch for that
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: workload because that can affect workload, whether he's healthy or not.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? So we got to stay
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: tapped in to the injuries.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: To me personally, if I'm a Jalen Waddle manager, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: am benching this.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I am benching this.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Look, Kansas City give up the second least amount of
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: fantasy points to wide receivers in the league. And then
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: what's crazy about that? They got the 17th ranked passing defense. So, yes,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: you make them get yards. They ain't giving up touchdowns.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: They're only giving up five passing TDs in the season.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Kansas City defense, they holding their own. They show up
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: when it needs to show up. And Jalen Waddell is
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: not trustworthy enough, especially coming off that injury against Kansas City.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Do not ignore the injury risk when it comes to this.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Do not ignore that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But, look, sometimes we're in situations where you got to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: do what you got to do. And if you don't
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: have a better option, then you got to do what
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: you got to do. But me, I'm benching this. But
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: also make sure you're checking out what he does in
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: practice this week. Number five.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: All right, bro. Let me get a sip really before
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I continue with this one because I'm definitely, definitely.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I'm so frustrated with this guy, bro. Rome Aduze against
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks. Bench this with the quickness, dog. With
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the quickness, Seahawks got the first-ranked total defense. They give
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: up the least amount of points to wide receivers. They
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: got the first-ranked passing defense. Bro, I drafted this guy
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: in the fifth round, dog. The fifth round.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And he's giving me nothing. Nothing. And you know what?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Some of this is probably a little hurt, too. But.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: The data still remain. I told you what Seattle do
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: on defense. We saw how they just locked up Kansas
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: City the other night. They clamping, dog. They actually look
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: like they can repeat. And what's crazy, they don't even
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: have a running back yet. They clamping, dog.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Clamping.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Ramadu's like, please sit him back. Sit him on the bench.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Sit him on the bench, dog. Bench that with the quickness, bro.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It don't even matter. Doesn't even matter if you got
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: somebody better than that. Bench, Rome, or Duse. That's a
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: little bitterness. Not even going to lie to you.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: A little bitterness.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, that was my start, sit, cause, risk of
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the benching, man. Hit me on X, bro, if you
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: got any more. If you got any questions, bro, I'll
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: tap in. Try to make sure we all get dubs.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Because you already know why we here, bro, as I
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: always say. We are here to get dubs. That's a
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: wrap on that one. Look, I got to give y'all
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: my hustlers energy lock pick of the week. This is
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: where we lock the lock, throw away the key. The
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: guy I'm picking this week, Jaden Daniels, dog. Now, I
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: see the season numbers. They're not all the way pretty.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: They're not all the way pretty. But he's averaging just
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: under 27 fantasy points in his last two fresh off
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: an injury.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: He's looking better. I love this matchup for Daniels, though.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? He got the Eagles.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I just picked on them. I just told you about
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Makai Lemon, but now I'm picking on them. He got
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: the 27-rank passing defense, total defense, rather. And like I say,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Jaden Daniels averaging 27 fantasy points in his last two. Now,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: I know last game, a little on the lighter end.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: But he's starting to play better than he did in
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that first half of the season.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: That's my lock pick, man. That's why I'm locking the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: lock and I'm throwing away the key. You got a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: lock pick, man.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Tap in on X at Hustle Sportsnet.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Let me know who y'all throwing away the key with.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Get at me.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: And before we get out of here, man, I got
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: one question for everybody out there that's tapped in. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: in week, no matter what week, but for y'all out there,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: would you start an injured star over a healthy breakout player?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest. If it's me, I take
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the wait and see approach.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Like today's Tuesday, you got until Saturday to really make
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: an informed decision. By Saturday, you should at least have
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: an idea of what you wanna do So, for me,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: I say wait for the practice reports. Now, for y'all
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: out there, do you trust the star or do you
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: trust the healthy breakout?
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Tap in on the comments. Let me know.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Because what matters most, talent, opportunity, or health?
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: For me, it depends.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I think more seasons than not, it depends on your situation.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: You in a bad spot, you need to get a dub.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You know, you need to get a dub. So you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: got to wait for them practice reports to make an
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: informed decision to make sure you're able to get a dub.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: So, look, that's a wrap on this one. I appreciate
• 20:29
