(01:03):
You can join up on the discord do it today
and Drew ericson. I feel like we haven't been together
in quite some time on this show, Bud, what's up.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, no, it's been a minute I think since we've
been on the extra point together. So I still haven't
watched Face Off finitely.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
You know that was the next question that was going
to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
So, I mean, unless somebody wants to step up and
write the Betting Pros primer for me, this is not
going to happen in the near future. So I know
that we're all busy right now, so I'm trying my best,
but unfortunately I can't get the wife to watch it
with me because we have a list queued up of
Halloween movies that we.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Have to Oh my god, so wait a minute, hold on.
You just were like, oh, I'm so busy, and I
got the primer and then you're like, but listen, nightmare
before Christmas is way ahead of it, so we can't
watch Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Well, not that, not that specific movie. That movie is
a movie classic, not watchable. What it's not good? Oh
not a good movie, dude.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
You just sink in every week. You just sink further down.
So you won't watch Face Off because you have a
list of Halloween movies and you just said Nightmare before
Christmas is trash.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
I don't think it's very good. I like some of
the songs in it. This is Halloween, that one's that one.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Is in this town we call home, all right.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
I won't get stuck in your head. And then when
they kidnapped the Santa Claus, that one's pretty good too.
But besides those couple songs, like the plot, the story
is kind of all over the place. I think there
are better movies, like.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Probably probably you would know if you had watched it.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I can't confirm nor deny because I have not seen it.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Can you tell me? We're gonna get to the football,
so everybody that's like freaking out, like some of the
sixty seconds and you have it. We'll talk about football
a second. What what is one Halloween movie you are
prioritizing over Face Off? Right now.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
I watch Beetle Juice. Jeez, I thought that was really good.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Yeah, did you like the new one Beatle Juice, Beealle Juice?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
I not, No, that's the next one watching.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh yeah, that's Face Out, okay.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
The original, which I thought was all right, it's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I'm not your judge and jury, so you watch Face Up.
Maybe you could watch it in little five minute increments.
So what a great way to watch that movie would
be is just like watch it over like a month
and just five minute increments and do that.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
I watched that two x speed with that.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Word do you do whatever you want? You do it,
all right. We're not here to talk about Beetlejuice or hey,
I mean, we are kind of here to talk about
Beetle Juice and face Off. But we're more importantly here
to talk to you guys. That's what's cool about the show.
It's not just like answering questions or when we do
the live streams where we're reading it off. We want
to talk to you guys. We do have a chat
function in here, so if you're like super scared to

(03:47):
talk and hear your voice or whatever, you don't have to,
but we do prioritize those hand raises, and we're going
to do so. And we're going to kick it off
with Eloy kick off the show. Don't talk about Thursday
night football. We love you. What do you have him'?

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Oh my god, that's so that's amazing. Rings from Mexican.
I'm sorry Mexican. Well, I'm a big fan of you guys.
So I have a couple of questions for you. So
nice to be in the show. I have never expected
to be here three from my English but the well, Hi,
how you doing.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
We're doing great, man, don't worry about it. Let's uh,
what do you got for us?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
So I am in a twelve man full PPR league.
I'm not having a bit of a trouble because Bucky
is injured. So currently I'm going to tell you my
team is Trevor Lawrence, Bian Robinson, Christian Jokins, Jason's jigba
to Gron McMillan, Tucker Craft, Ricordodle, Jack Baits on the

(04:40):
Petrius defense. Right now, I'm in a bit of a
dilemma because I don't know if I should play Riccordoudo
or not. I'm trying to place him in a flex spot.
But I'm probably going to change him for Mike Evans,
who is expected to be able, you know, recovering from
the injury. So what do you think should I play
Jatkins began Dado or Jatkins be young or Evans?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
It's so good. So that's the tough one. I was
just working on my ranks today Ericson and I just
keep staring at doubt all and like, I just want
to keep pushing him higher, but tube it back. Just yeah,
I know there's a finger put going down here.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, yeah, do not want he's talking? You know, well,
I mean you got to start Mike Evans against the line. Yeah,
I mean, if he's playing, he's good to go. Like Evans,
he knows how to come back from hamshing injuries, like
because he gets a hamshing injury.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Lot of experience.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, so when yeah, I'm not really I'm not really
concerned about oh well he's gonna repull. It's like no,
like he misses like a month every year with the
same hamstring injury, comes back balls out because he has
to get through a thousand yards every single year and
he's facing the Lions massive total. So unless there's like
news with oh, Hubbard's out completely or Evans He's not

(05:59):
going to play. Evans is playing on Monday night, So
you do have that kind of factoring in here. So
we might not have as much information, but based on
everything right now, looks like Evans's is gonna play. It
looks like Hubbard's gonna play. I would roll with Mike Evans.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Yeah, I agree, Eli. Did you have another question?

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Playing?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Well, I'm waiting on Lamarin on how what's the name
Martin Harrison? So I don't know if I should play
them instead off the receivers. I think I don't have to,
and should I stream Trevor Lawrence or Jackson Dart this week?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Okay, good question, Thank you, Lloy, Trevor Lawrence or Jackson Dart.
I am team Trevor Lawrence on this one. I am
just saying. We talked about this on the Rank Show.
We actually did a pretty extensive conversation Eric's and myself
and Pat fitz Morris about Dart and Fields and all
this negative fields talk. Then it was like bringing in
Jackson Dart and it was like, ooh, I don't feel

(06:52):
too much better actually, now that I'm looking at it,
I guess I do have Dart slightly higher, but it's
both two defensive tough matchups. You are Laurence a little more, I.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Mean Lawrence runs too, so like I don't take I
mean Dart has run more, but I don't think that
the it's like a oh well, Dart's gonna clearly outproduce
him as a rusher. Both guys run, so I think
that Lawrence has more weapons to work with. Yeah, the
rams secondary we know can be beat. Just a matter
of can can Lawrence get a pass off? And even
if he's only pressure on fifty percent of his dropbacks,

(07:22):
it means at fifty percent of the time he has
time to throw. So you're just hoping you can get
enough done. I just the Denver spot man is so tough.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Where do you have Dart again? Or did you do any? Amptic?
Because I have Oh, okay, good because I have him
at twenty and I was like, am I did I
go nuts? That's where I moved him.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Because the thing is like with these mobile quarterbacks, like
it does kind of make them somewhat match up proof
because if they just take off and run, it doesn't
matter like what the defense is doing. But so you
have to kind of respect them by putting them at
a certain ranking. But if I'm like recommending picks this week,
like I just don't like Dart, Like he's probably not
gonna be the one of guys again if I have him,

(07:59):
or it's like just playing whatever. He has a floor
with the rushing, But I don't think it's a ceiling
week from him. I do have to say, though, I
did like the abby that we had from Yeah, SpongeBob,
We're here, spunge job. It's him in the in the
beach episode when he's thinking, and that's like, my face.
What I'm trying to make starts a decision when I'm
twinking taking my rankings to be wrong on Sunday Mornings.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
And by the way, never apologize you're you're a valued listener.
The only thing to ever apologize for on this show
is talking about Thursday night football.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
That's it.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
That's the only thing to apologize for. Everything else. We're
game here, We're I mean maybe cursing too, because you're
gonna cause someone more work and that would be a problem.
But d m r Q Premium member on Fantasy Pros
discord what's up, What's Up?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
What Up?

Speaker 1 (08:44):
What Up?

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Okay, so I have ppruh, teds Johnson, Christian Kirk or
Jerry Judy.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
Who am I starting?

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh Jerry Judy, Jerry Judy. You know it's funny. I'm
a little bit more and this might be end up
being wrong Sterling shepherd ish uh if everybody was out,
but if Mike Evans is back, Auton is there. Tes
has like good high upside play just to like make
that big play. But in that grouping there, Judy is
still your peppered target guy. And on the ranks episode

(09:18):
Ericson was a spout and some Judy love. So that's
the play there. Yeah, I appreciate you.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Look at the opportunities he's getting in the offense. It's
a good matchup for him. I know it is supposed
to rain though in this game, so.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Cool with those hands. That is a little bit of
a problem.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Jerry Judy drops potentially, but he's still going to get
ten targets.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
So yeah, four catches to ten targets will be amazing. Devo,
what's up I Devo?

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Hello, what's the abotsar too? Is that like it looks
like quicksilver in a nova uniform or something? What is that?

Speaker 7 (09:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (09:58):
It's a very very strange comic.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Okay, okay, just a random superhero. Okay, what's up?

Speaker 7 (10:06):
Also, Ericson, go watch face off?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
But thank you.

Speaker 8 (10:10):
Anyways, I got a lineup question and then a quick trade.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
See what you guys think about the trade?

Speaker 8 (10:17):
Lineup wise, I need three of the four and they're
hard because they're all ranked around the same Olave, McMillan, Worthy,
and then of course AJ Brown.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
This might be like four that's a murderer's row of
the same guys. I might legit. Hold on, I'm gonna
look at my ranks with that three, he said, three
I have, so I have Nico.

Speaker 8 (10:40):
So Nico is obviously going in the one, so I
need another receiver in two flex.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
I got three of those guys within five spots of
each other. They're all within five So what is your ranking?
It was Olave, tet, AJ Brown and Worthy. Who's who
you're dumping, Ericson, I'll tell you mine in a second. Ranks,
we're gonna have different guys. I can already feel it.
You're gonna say a lave out and I I have

(11:08):
Worthy the lowest of that group. Rashi Rice is in
what do you have the anticipation is killing me.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Lave. Now I'm a J Brown to the bench.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
By oh so, Yeah, I'm actually fine with AJ Brown
going to the bench too. I have Brown and Worthy
next to each other, of the lowest of that group,
but I do have Worthy with Rice coming back. So
one of the two amazing wide receivers that you have,
you have to bench.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
I was leaning AJ Brown, but it wasn't sure what
ted against Sauce so and then the Grade one. I
kind of picked on the one in five guy, but
I treated away Kyron and Pickens and I got Henry
and Nico.

Speaker 7 (11:51):
Just wondering if that's a win loss or what are
we looking at there?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Kyen Pickens, You got Henry and Nico. I like that,
what are you?

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I think Kyrine and Henry cross cancel each other. I'll
take Nico over Pickens, especially with Lamb coming back. I
think that's a B plus trade.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yeah, I think, yeah, I think there's a well executed
trade the Pickens situation. And look, he's a cell candidate.
Just based on the fact that we don't know what's
gonna look like when comes back with him. They won't
play one game together in that game Pickens wasn't good,
so like that matter again in week one. Now, does
this mean he's gonna fall off the face of the earth.
Probably not. Like Dallas offense is cooking, their defense is terrible.

(12:30):
So he's still gonna have his games here and there.
But is it going to be to this level where
he's wide receiver three? Probably not. So I think that
this is a good of selling high because of this thing.
It's like, don't sell Pickens for like nothing, but like
get Nico Collins back, that's a good deal. And then
like you said, the running backs are are pretty like
cross canceled. So I think it's a good deal.

Speaker 9 (12:50):
You know.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's interesting about that trade is like you know, usually
we look at trades and you got to find like
the logic behind it. But it's like, you know, it's
like similar run back maybe similar as wide receivers. The
crux of that trade to me is the guy that
is terrified of Derrick Henry, you know, because like you
traded Kyrien for Henry, it had to be that owner

(13:12):
being like, oh I'm done soo with Henry, and that
pushed them to do it because contextually, Derek Henry over
Karen Williams is easy, and Nico over George Pickens is easy.
But like that guy had to be absolutely terrified of
Derek Henry and I wonder how many people out there
are like that right now.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Or if he has a losing record too. It's like,
I got I got to move Henry. Henry's on a
bye week this week, like I got I need wins.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Good point both, Yeah, reason to think that good point.
Good point. Uh. The Ronan premium member Fantasy pros discord.
By the way, you don't have to have premium to
get into like the room here, like for the show.
You can be a part of it, but premium gives
you access to all the stuff. Just y people listening
what's up Ronan? And premium makes you feel good, That's right,
exactly makes you feel special and like you're just a

(14:02):
little bit better than the next person. And that's all
that we're really looking for in life.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
Absolutely so kind of another Evans question, Uh, here, so
you spots to fill a wide receiver and a flex
spot and half PPR if if we're all, if we're
all thinking Evans, good to go?

Speaker 11 (14:19):
You know on a Monday, do you who's to sit
between him? Sutton and Traves etn et.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Are you comfortable taking that risk though, yes, okay, just
making sure I.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Know, yeah, I mean I can.

Speaker 10 (14:36):
I can always play sharpon a if he like does
like not play.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
I mean at least you have something then yeah, you
have something. I just like know, like we're doing this
on Thursday. I'd love to have a little bit more confirmation, like, hey,
Evans is Gucci. You know it's all good. Sorry I
said that, but he is going to go. I shouldn't
say that. I should not say that word.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Well, hey, well we have our our handy dandy. Are
they playing tool?

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Can you give us a percentage.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
With Evans here, dude? Because he's so locked in.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
I mean I want the tool, by the way, I
want the tool, But I also would like a coach
to tell me like Evans is going to play.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
Specifically, coach, don't lie about anything, ever.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
No very truthful.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Run was safe? Flowers is gonna be on a snaff
count last week?

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Don't believe it running? Was there any other question? Or
did we hit it?

Speaker 2 (15:27):
Oh? You got it.

Speaker 11 (15:28):
I'm sure I'll have something for next week.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Okay, thanks.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
The tool it doesn't have Evans in her yet because
the Buccaneers play on Monday, so it's like a day
behind with injury reports.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Okay, so when this airs on the podcast, yeah, and
the podcast listeners can go and check it out where
he's at. Yeah, I mean, uh, and I do see
this is actually two hours ago Evans returning to practice today.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
This was he was practicing.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Yeah, Rick Stroud was reporting that. So not that he's
in his gear, he's just running around. But uh, there
you go, there's actually one with his gear. So yeah,
I guess that does make me feel a lot better.
So and he is the he is the answer. I yes, Alan,
not Steve. What's up?

Speaker 12 (16:05):
Hey, how's it going guys? I had a couple of questions.
I kind of put my line up in the chat
to make it a bit easier to follow along because
we're running good free flex like two running backs too
wide receivers, so a lot of guys in there. I'm
one in five because I keep having guys just and
explicitly give me like single digit points like AJ the

(16:28):
first week, and it just carried on with that. My
question is a few fold things. I'm having a hard
time getting trades to happen. I'm a bit nervous coming
into this week because I'm like, you know, looking at Sleep,
I'm like forty six percent chance when I'm not sure
if like I should drop fields and just hope and

(16:50):
like first Kler to keep keep things rolling so I
can maybe see how respeculative guys play out with Evans
coming back. That's my main question. And also just how
would you guys handle this situation where you kind of
like you're still kind of like you just keep having
guys not coming through for you.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I try. I feel like my.

Speaker 12 (17:13):
Thought process each week is solid, but it's just not
like the guys are just randomly hitting. So I don't
know if you like looking at my rosterday, if you
see some guys that you feel a bit safer in
the flex spots than others.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Or sure, that's like an insanity thing too, Like I
had I think it's in I think it's in the
I just came back from it, so it took me
like three weeks. But in the Flex leagues are mutual
friend Jake Seely does the Industry League Flex Leagues and
we do like you know, whatever median and then you
play somebody. I had the second most points scored in

(17:46):
the league, and I faced the third most point scored
in the league, and I was just struggling. And then
I just had three monster weeks and came back. It's
a little different what you're saying. But my point is
is like that struggle because I look at your team
and I'm like great, Like he's starting, He's got Bijon,
he's got Bill, who's hit, He's got London Tyler, Warren.

(18:06):
Aj Brown is a big sore sore thumb on this team,
which clearly looks out here. So to the first question,
I'll just answer it because I think I can speak
for ericson. I think you'll find a cut fields when
you activate Mike Evans. There's nothing you need to worry
about there. You can roll out Caleb and it looks
like there's probably some streamy options when you look at
like the roster construction though a flex he's putting out

(18:27):
Ken Walker, Jamison, williams wan Dell.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
You know this is you.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Would love for it to be a little bit tighter,
but he hasn't gotten his production from Traveon Henderson, which
would probably help. Is there an applicable thing here? You
got a crap wide receiver two and A J.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Brown.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
You've got an underperforming probably third round pick in Traveon Henderson,
Like them's the breaks. But what would you do in
this spot, Erickson?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
I don't know, because I really like the team over
right now. I think I see the boom or bust
nature of some of these certain players that talked about A. J. Brown,
Ken Walker, Jamison Williams. So a lot of guys that
haven't really been super super consistent. But you know, I
think that's just a bad string of luck. To be honest,
I don't think there's really much you can do about
Well I needed to play more consistently. Those just aren't

(19:14):
those types of players, and I don't think you're going
to just be able to flip them for someone that's
necessarily more consistent, because a lot of times you just
need one guy. I mean, also, you have Bijon Drake
London like they were on a bye week last week. Yeah, right,
so that's going to hurt you. And two like your
two best players aren't on your team, so yeah, that's
gonna get You're probably not going to win. So I
think that you're running back. I think are in a

(19:36):
good spot. I like having fields in Williams just you know,
they're two high upside quarterbacks. They both like to run.
Obviously you can roll with Williams, but I think fields
and better matchups when he hits Garrett Wilson back, like
I mean, he's been a top five fantasy quarterback.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
But then who you're cutting when he has to activate
Mike Evans Because by the way, Mike Evans will get
to go and be his wide receiver. Two. AJ Brown
can go probably be in the flex over Jamison Williams
or Ken whatever. But who are you cutting? You have
Burden Marx Henderson, Goddard or Fields.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
So what I would do here is I would trade
your Eagles AJ Brown Dallas Goddard, like number one of
those guys are working against each other to help you
because if Goddard does good, that means AJ Brown's probably
doing bad, and vice versa. You already have Tyler Warren.
You don't need two tight ends. I don't think that
you need to have two tight ends. You'll figure you
can stream a guy during Warren's bye week, but you're
never starting Dallas Goddard over Tyler Warren. So package those

(20:27):
up to the brock Bauers manager who needs a tight end. Hey,
you want Dallas Goddard need a monster game, Kake aj
Brown upgrade at receiver or running back so you can
have a better flex play. I mean James and Williams.
You can flex this week match pickings the Bucks. That's
a great spot for him. So that's how I would
approach it. If you can't make a trade, then yes,
Fields would be the guy that would have to hit
waivers to make room for evidence.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
You make him. Peace out, peace out, get out of here.
Justin Fields, We don't need you sink your league instantly
to my playbook to get custom advice on how to
manage your team throughout the season. That's something and then
you could be doing we were just talking about, like
what do you do in that Well, make sure you
sink your league and you can get that customize advice
to potentially hook you up to make some of your

(21:09):
big decisions. You can see some top available players, power rankings,
and more, and that's all free. We talked about it before.
Also in my playbook, they got the are they Playing
tool each week at the latest game day availability odds
for all injured players, and if you are premium you
can unlock all kind of helpful waiver trade, lineup and
league analysis tools very applicable to the last two questions.

(21:32):
You can even auto start your team's optimal lineup each
week using autopilot just in case, you know, life gets
in front of you. You can have autopilots set it,
and then you can go and mess around after sink
your league and dominate every week of the season with

(21:52):
Baby Billy's in the house. Back to the people. What's up,
baby Billy? Oh no, jmy, yes you you. I saw
your mute thing go on and I got terrified for you.

Speaker 13 (22:04):
All right, am I you could hear.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Me now, Yeah, we got you. What's up?

Speaker 6 (22:07):
Dude?

Speaker 13 (22:07):
All right? So I have two parter it's my running
back slot too, and then a flex so.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
The running back too.

Speaker 13 (22:17):
I can't mention one person, but I have Henderson, Tyler,
Edgier and Spears that could possibly go in this week.
I don't know who to who to put in there.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Spears for me, Erickson okay, never Henderson, but yeah.

Speaker 13 (22:40):
All right, and then the flex because I have Lamb. Finally,
coming back, So I have Worthy either my wide receiver
two spot, so my flex would be Probley, Pittman or
Jordan Addison. Or I could put one of the other
running backs in that spot. So I'm not sure which way.

Speaker 14 (22:59):
At least the other running back it would if I
start Spears, then it could be Henderson in the flex,
or Jordan Addison or Michael Pittman for the flex.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I would try to play only one of those running
backs if yes agreed and that, but would.

Speaker 1 (23:19):
You play Pittman over Worthy. I don't know how good
I feel about Worthy this week, but I will also
acknowledge we have absolutely no idea the level of Rashi
Rice this week. It could be limited. It could feel
uh Stefan Diggs Week one, like you know, where he
kind of comes in and certain packages, and Worthy is

(23:40):
out there a whole bunch. I'm just worried that Worthy
turns into the you know, four target three catch with
an end a round trying to get him going where
she Rice has eight catches, Travis Kelcey has seven catches.
You have two stupid catches did juju some other random
guy and two running back? You know, Like, I'm worried
the phase out happens. But it's not like Michael Pittman
is been the most the pillar of consistency. So hopefully

(24:02):
we got you there. Just do one of those running backs.
You got some good wide receiver options. I personally am
kind of leaning Pittman as the wide receiver to start
over Worthy. That's where I go. But Ericson is smarter
than me, and he says worthy, so play that out.
Play it out, mane, all right. Next up is Catalyst
is a very dramatic names Catalyst twelve. What's up? Got

(24:25):
to unmute baby Billy brought the bad mute juju? I
can already feel it. There we go, I see an
unmute catalyst. Do we have you three two one and
bag sold?

Speaker 13 (24:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
If you figure it out, do your test your settings,
raise your hand again and I will bring you back up.
Oh hey, look it's a ko KWHI. What's that face
right there? Ericson? Who's that face of on this emoji?
That's right from I will real quick.

Speaker 9 (25:01):
I would count face Off as a Halloween movie.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
They are wearing each other's faces.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
That's a good point. They're wearing masks. Technically, you could
sell your wife on that they're selling the Yeah, and
you know what, you could also say probably holds up
better than Nightmare before Christmas. There's no songs, there's no singing,
just saying that is true.

Speaker 9 (25:19):
A lot of guns, action and flying doves classic, Yeah
it is.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
What do you got?

Speaker 9 (25:26):
How's it going?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Guys?

Speaker 7 (25:27):
What up now?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Really quick?

Speaker 9 (25:31):
So able to scraunge up two wins starting out zero
to four? I put up my roster in the chat
a little bit higher. What's trying to make a trade.
I've got Kraft Kittle and then Mason Taylor. I'm trying
to at least trade away one of the tight ends
to this one guy that only has Mark Andrews.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Which is on bye week.

Speaker 9 (25:51):
It's trying to package Craft with Williams Jamison Williams for
Mike Evans and DK Metcalf, but he won't come off
of Mike Evans.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
Do you think a.

Speaker 9 (25:58):
Straight trade for Craft the Metcalf would help my team
out better?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (26:03):
You mean like he you were trying to get. We're
trying to get DK and Evans or DK or Evans
for Craft and Williams, DK and Evans. Okay, so but
now you're saying I don't think it should cost Craft
and Williams to get DK. I would, I would probably
if I'm doing that, center Craft just straight up for

(26:24):
DK ericson right right, Okay, yeah, yeah, because you got Kittle,
you got I mean, if anything you could, I mean,
Kittle's injury history can create a little bit of a
worry that maybe you want to move off of him.
But yeah, I mean I don't. I don't want to
add a ton more in the trademarket. I mean, I
see you've got let me go back to this. Don't

(26:45):
you have Rico Daubel, Do you have anybody else to start?
I mean, you don't have good depth You've got I
mean Erickson thinks Pacheco's going to bounce back. Henderson never
is ever getting going. If those guys got going, you
all of a sudden just walked into great depth, and
then I would then that's where I what it's going
to say, Like maybe you could do like a Rico

(27:05):
and a Craft to try to get Evans in something,
But you're also kind of lacking on some depth. So
I'm not one hundred percent sure that I'm there any
of the thoughts on that. Erickson, I think you summed
it up pretty well, okay, it's a person in the
background Thoughts. All right, you can ask him.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I do want to just bring back up the Pittman
versus Worthy. I didn't think enough about the Josh Downs concussion,
so I'm changing my answer.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Oh official official, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Because Downs probably isn't gonna play. So that matters a lot,
because Pittman, like his targets have kind of been up
and down. Downs has led the team in targets in
the last three weeks. If he's out Niclets hate as
an I Mitchell, well, he put himself in the dockhouse,
so that's his fault. And then Alec Pierce is more
of a field stretcher, so Pittman should be able to
be the target leader and that would probably put him

(27:57):
above Worthy, especially in half PPR, where Pittman's all have
been a touchdown machine. So yeah, I would change.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
That answer Pittman over aj Brown. Yes, okay, that was
Chris Welsh asking that question for his ranks for the
Ranks contest. I was just looking. I was That's what
I did, and I just wanted to hear some confirmation,
so I like it. All right, that's a good update.
All right, let's get back to it. Will Collins W
W Collins. I just I you know what I made?

(28:24):
Your name Will, and it's literally W Collins is your name?

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Will?

Speaker 7 (28:29):
My name is Will?

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Okay, what other W names could have that event? It
could have been Wayne Walter? That's it. Are there any
other W names? Wandale? Okay, there's a couple. So I
I had a one in twenty five percent chance and
I hit it. What's up?

Speaker 14 (28:46):
Will?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
What do you got cold?

Speaker 2 (28:48):
On?

Speaker 6 (28:48):
Guys?

Speaker 7 (28:48):
I had two questions? Should I be worried about t
mac going against Sauce Gardner in my flex? I got
Golden and I got TEDZ Johnson on my bench.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
So yeah, like, well, no, the first part of the
question you should say, like, yes, that's not good. I'm
a little bit worried, but versus the options you gave us, No,
I'm not going to start like I do like Matthew Golden.
I'm a Golden, I'm a Golden stand but I'm not
going to start him over Tes because regardless of that matchup.
I think you even talked about it on the Rank

(29:20):
show about I think it was versus man coverages, or
maybe i'd say opposite versus man like Ted can do
some stuff, so I would be worried, but you don't
have an option that justifies going over tetero.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, I think the thing to remember with a lot
of these strong cornerback matchups, I think it does matter
stylistically who was the receiver actually going up against them, Like,
if it's a I win with route running, I need
to get open to catch passes. Like, yes, that's much
tougher for those receivers to produce against the strong corners.
But you know, titero, McMillan's not like gaining like five

(29:55):
yards separation against any NFL cornerback, which is not really
his game. So it's going to be more contested stuff
and he can win those fifty to fifty balls against
Sauce Gardner. So not everyone you start every week is
going to be like, oh, a total smash spot. But
McMillan's had a high floor basically every single week, and
even last week when he didn't see enough targets, he
caught two touchdowns. So yeah, he's the body of work

(30:19):
has been too good to start him over fringier pieces
like Matthew Golden has a good game and the coach
says afterwards, yeah, well, We're not going to force feed
him or anything, so like, don't get carried away for
like featuring our best players.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Like we're glad you got excited, but don't get used
to it. So you're like, okay, awesome toast. What's the toast? Hello? Toast?

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Oh toast? So speaking of toast?

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Okay, do you agree with this?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Take here? Welsh is toast? Can you hear me?

Speaker 1 (30:47):
Oh yeah, we got you hold on, but we got
to get Errickson's toast. Take care all right?

Speaker 2 (30:51):
So is toast the opposite of bread? Yes?

Speaker 13 (30:54):
Or no?

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Uh?

Speaker 15 (30:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Toast is just a result of an act against bread?
Right that toast is the result of a genetically engineered
modified bread. It's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
If it was the same thing, why I would have
two different names.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Well, because it's describing the current state of bread. We
don't have a wet bright we have soggy bread. But
I guess the other terms are like bread. But no,
I think toast is just a act of bread. Toast?
Do you have an opinion? Since this is your god
given name.

Speaker 16 (31:33):
I'm a bit toasted.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Okay, all right, you got fantasy. You're like football, not bread? Please?

Speaker 13 (31:38):
Right?

Speaker 16 (31:38):
We got, Hey, what's your opinion of Jalen Coker? Is
he someone to pick up? I'm looking ahead to week
eight and about the only guy I can drop unless
I play without three wide receivers is Hunter from the Jaguars.
So I was sort of considering that I wanted your

(32:00):
take on it.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
You were shaking your head as a yes. But when
I hear Travis Hunter would be the end result, I
don't know. I'm not sure that I'm doing that.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, I think I want to hold Travis Hunter. I
still I really don't have a good take on how
I feel about how he's Obviously it's been lackluster, disappointing.
I guess it also depends on what your expectations were
for Travis Hunter coming in the first couple weeks of
the season. I mean he's doing a lot for rookie.
I mean he's playing like more snaps than basically every

(32:32):
other NFL player. It's just like a lot for a
young player to handle. So obviously he's had flashes here
and there. I think that it's going to get better, though,
or if they just commit to him on one side
of the football or the other like that's another thing too.
So I think if it's Cocer for Hunter, I would
still rather have Hunter.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I would also rather have Hunter. There people imagine like
tuning into the podcast of this like old school radio,
and like I get like, I like to talk about
Reverend stuff. But I know there's some people just get
super busy about it. But imagine if this is radio
and someone just tuned in and we're just like, listen
is Toast Bread. It's like NPR segment. I think it's important.
These are important topics that we're talking about here.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Mean, the username was toast it was.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
It was a great question. I'm here for it, Sammy,
what's up dude?

Speaker 4 (33:21):
Hey guys, two quick questions starts it and then a trade.
So first, how are we feel in about Kittle this week?
If he plays against a tough matchup according to the
primer in Debro or, would I be better off playing
Mason Taylor.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Kittle Kittle, Kittle, Kittle, Kittle, Kittle, Kittle Kittle.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
I personally don't care affectionately because Debro is our brother.
I don't care what Debro wrote or has to say
about Kittle. If there's anything negative, throw it out the window.
It's George Kittle. He's only active because he's good to go.
All the targets go Niners.

Speaker 7 (34:01):
Great, great, another Niners question.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
Then if Pearsall plays this week, we could play him
over I picked up Bourn while he's been out, who's
obviously been great? Or do you stick with Bourne for
another week? If if you're pears All beaten limited.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
I don't think Pearsall's going to play. He didn't practice
I think as of today. So if the decision were
to come down to it and they said Pearsall's all good,
I would play him. But I have Born as a
top thirty wide receiver this week because I also think
Mac is going to start again. Mac loves Kendrick Bourne.
He's a beast. Even if I don't care about Jennings anymore,
Pearsall would make it a problem plus Kittle. But I

(34:45):
don't think Pearsall's going to play. And I think you.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Agree, Okay, Yeah, yeah, I think yeah. Kendrick Bourne for
me to see from Mac John and Kendrick Bourne, that's
his guy.

Speaker 4 (34:57):
Yeah, this is perfect, perfect glad I didn't drop him
on waivers and uh trade question. It's a single QB league.
I got a manager. We were in this league, everyone
holds two qbs, and I happen to have Dak and
Drake May. I got a manager who's desperate for a QB,
and I'm desperate at running back because my running backs

(35:20):
are like Chase Brown, J. C. M. Sharps, so I
need I need major upgrade there. He has for his
running backs Henry Taylor and Cooks. Would you would you
consider trading, you know, Dak or Drake for Henry or.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Cook Yep, absolutely, whichever I mean. I imagine Henry is
probably the more likely one they're going to give up
at this point, but I think cook had two slow ones.
Whichever they're given me, I'm moving. But here's the question
preference May or Dak ericson. I kind of think I
want to keep Drake May, and I would rather move Dak.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
I would rather keep Drake May. But in these situations,
I usually just like let the other manager pick in
that way.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah, no, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
That way, it's like, well, I didn't get to pick
which quarterback he took, so I can't be held liable
for the outcomes of my actions.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
Because also the running backs are just such good options.
It's just like whatever you want. Yeah, Yeah, you pick Pal.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
They want Dak or they want Drake, doesn't matter. Just
get the running back.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
All one thousand percent agree. Before we get to our
last round of questions, we still got a tiny bit
more time here. I want to remind you guys to

Maybe not? Oh you know what I forgot? I'm I

(37:37):
got to boot JCK, but also didn't come up raise
your reraise your hand. I completely forgot about Catalyst. Catalyst
did reraise the hand? So Catalyst, I apologize for not
bringing you back up a little bit. Quicker, what's up? Oh,
that's why I didn't bring it up. Quicker, go to
the settings and confirm your microphone, and then I kicked you.

(37:57):
But I will bring it right back up. Third times
a charm here third down though you only get four downs,
so you're on your third down. It's third and long.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
There.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Who's this? Ronan? Didn't we already talk to run? Is
this another rounnin?

Speaker 11 (38:10):
Yeah, you can drop me off. I had another question.
You can get the other guys.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Oh okay, well you can. What's your question? You're here, Ronan,
you're special. What's your other question?

Speaker 11 (38:21):
So it's kind of a trade question. I've set my
my line up into the draft, ur turned into the chat,
and I'm not clearly I'm not really sure where I
go from here. Don't hold pad or do I try
to package any of these things to strengthen an area.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Oh that's like it's like a team construction type of thing.
Those are tough to do. On this podcast. You got
Dak Eats and Judkins, Evans, Olave, JSN Gibbs. I hear
that roster. I say, hold, he's also got Bucky. I'm
holding pretty dang strong with that team because you've got
some injuries that are taking you out ericson.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
I would only entertained. I like ET as a high right.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Now, no issue trading him with Bucky coming soon now.

Speaker 2 (39:05):
So I would try to trade away Etn if you
can work out a deal to get for to move
ET and to get Javonte Williams somehow, whether you're adding
a piece like a Michael Carter something that I want
with Jordan Mason, even like I love Jamonte rest of
the season, I'm just not that as optimistic about ET
and I think that their value probably pretty closely so

(39:25):
it may just take a little bit to like get
that deal type of done. But yeah, besides that, I
mean it's a pretty strong roster over all getting ends back.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
So yeah, all right, let's try j C. K. We
got our non working people again, Let's see if j
Ck is back, jac K is up unnuted first down? Yes,
we got you. What's up, dude?

Speaker 17 (39:50):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (39:50):
Seven?

Speaker 18 (39:52):
So I wanted to try to trade away at.

Speaker 7 (39:56):
Brown, one of my tight ends for my roster.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Check.

Speaker 18 (40:01):
Let's try to get one of the Buccaneers players. So
let's try to eight for Buckie or Buka on a
team that I'm playing next week. Or I'll can see
I should trade AG Brown for Mike Evans, or if
I should just keep A Brown.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, but I don't think you can do any of
the trades you want to do. If you can do them,
I think you should do them. I don't think you
can trade Mike I trade a J. Brown to get
Mike Evans. I don't think you can trade a J.
Brown to get Ibuka. You definitely can't trade a J.
Brown to get a Buck even though he's hurt. So
if you can do them, I'm in you can't trade
a J.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Brown to trade for an injured.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
I'm not saying you can't. I don't think you can.
Who would you rather have?

Speaker 2 (40:52):
I know, I mean I know what I would rather have.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Brown is not injured. I think if you're.

Speaker 1 (40:57):
Playing like a public Yahoo league or something where guys are.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Looking at how far do you think they're way and
rest of the season rankings.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Right now, it feels like they're probably positionally like ten
spots at.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Least, there's only one way to find it.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Okay, I mean Buka being hurt does make it more palatable.
If this was like before the injury, it's like, no,
that's not happening, so.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
I should pull this stuff right now, wide receiver. They're
literally right next to each other. Really, Yeah, Abuka is
to your to your to your credit. He is higher
by one spot, So technically you can't actually do that trade.
You have to add something else. But if you're like
one in five and you have Abuka, like you can't

(41:45):
play him this week. So yeah, you could sent out
the offer.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Yeah, no, one hundred percent, you send them out any
of those that you can do. I'm doing it. I
just don't think you can do all right. Uh, this
is a bit. This is a third and long for catalysts.
Here third and long catalyst Mike problems. Yeah, I know
you aren't muted, but we cannot hear you. Uh, you

(42:10):
gotta check your audio settings there's a setting in discord
which is nice. By the way, Uh it can it
shows your mic is working like you can literally test it,
So try to do that. Sorry, my friend Bucksman premium
on the discord a regular on the show What's Up?
Bucks Man also need to unmute. How's it going?

Speaker 5 (42:29):
I got can I hear me?

Speaker 1 (42:30):
We got you? We got you? What's up?

Speaker 5 (42:33):
What's going on? So I'm in a I'm in the
fourteen man is deep as half PPR lead and we
start three receivers. So my third receiver slot, would you
start Sterling Shepherd a manner or Coker?

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Oh okay, that's a good one. Sterling Shepherd, I minor
or Coker. I think I have my I did tell
you I was leaning like. I like Shepherd. I feel
like he can play that safety net role where Tez
is the big guy. I just don't love that Mike
Evans would be back and is going to hog up
all the receptions. I think of that list, I think

(43:15):
in a full PPR Shepherd might be more of a
play because I think he has a better potential for receptions.
But I think that it might be I a minor
there just the big place potential the red zone stuff.
I don't know, what do you say You're gonna say
Coker after I did all that?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
No, I think that I think the situation is probably
just I think Shepherd has like the highest floor. Of
those guys. I think they're all kind of fringy at best.
I mean, even if Calvin really doesn't mean Calvinraarly is
not going to play, but like what if they're just like,
let's just stick Gonzales and I am in Or and
he's basically a race from the game, right, what's the
Titans office gup? I guess for me, it's like who

(43:52):
do I want inncillary pieces? Off? Do I want inncilliary
pieces of Panthers? Jets not really fair Patriots, Titans not
really lines? Bucks? Oh baby, you like sign me up
for just like anything in that game. So I think
it is Shepherd. And if you look at ECR, Shepherd
is thirty eight, it's pretty high, So I would I

(44:15):
think Shepard's probably playing. And it's also bucks Man, Like
Bucksman comes on every single time and asks us question
about bucks players, like he's like baiting us. Now we're
we're gonna go against this box, Like, dude player, bucks.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Man we're always he bucks of the playoffs. Gonna ask
him does he think he could get trade aj Brown
Frank Buka but he said no, and Bukah's go to dude, Radman.
What's up?

Speaker 6 (44:36):
What's up, gentlemen?

Speaker 1 (44:38):
How are you doing?

Speaker 6 (44:39):
Doing our right? Just got a quick trade question. Last
place team offered me Waller, Genty and London for se
Kwan Debo and Tyler Warren.

Speaker 1 (44:52):
Okay, so let's roll one more time.

Speaker 6 (44:57):
Yeah, gent London and Waller for uh Debo, Saquon and
Tyler Warren. And I have Ferguson but he's not in
the trade.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Sweet easy for me. I think the only thing you're
losing in the trade is at tight end. I think
you are upgrading at running back and wide receiver.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
You think Gent's an upgrade over Saquon, You don't. No,
I think it's like it's uh equates, It's it cross cancels, it's.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I would I would prefer genty rest of season. So
London huge upgrade over Deebo London smash. And then again
we talked about tight End. You're taking an l getting
Waller for Warren, but you have Ferguson, so it doesn't matter.
So yeah, I think that this is a really good
trade to make.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Okay, I'm down ten in a warning, a little not
quite lightning around, but try to get our last questions
in here from everybody. Joseph's in the house.

Speaker 3 (45:48):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (45:49):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (45:49):
You guys can hear?

Speaker 2 (45:50):
We We got you all right really quick?

Speaker 7 (45:53):
Wells, did you beat Bogman on on? Then Madden, I
missed it.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Thank you for bringing that back. No, I so two
weeks ago, just as I want to reference zero time
left on the clock, I catch with Chris Godwin a
touchdown in the end of the end zone, jump scream.
When we're back in the same situation, it's Lions Eagles.

(46:18):
We are down verse fourth quarter. I have thirty seconds left.
Bogman just kicked a field goal or whatever he did,
did score a touchdown. He's up by one point on
me and or I don't even remember what exactly, but
he's up, and with about nineteen seconds left, I through
an interception and the game was over. So no, I
did not beat Bogman. Sadly, my bad.

Speaker 19 (46:37):
I'll blame myself for not joining him doing the bread
all right, So I got I got two questions I
gotta start sit in a trade question. For the starts,
it pretty much it's just going to be Fields versus
b Nicks.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Who do I start bo bonos?

Speaker 19 (46:54):
Bono's perfect, all right? And then for the trade question,
would you give up at his in sut Tin and
Chase Brown for breath Hall and Brian Thomas Junior. I'm
pretty deep at wide receiver. My running my other running
back besides Brown is essentially all of the Cardinals and Gibbs.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
I like it. I know that's that made me cringe.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I was like, oh god, yeah, I would do this trade.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
I'm down captain slap You've seen those slap tournaments. Those
things are terrifying a lot that actually might be the
most aggressively Like I'm not, you know, a never issue
with like boxing or UFC. I see those like slap fights,
and I'm just like, no, it's too much. Yeah, it's
just too much. Though, Yeah, you have never seen it.
It's like they're standing at a table like they're gonna

(47:47):
arm wrestle and they chalk up and just boom and
its slap you in the face and you each get
a shot. And I think it's till like somebody gets
knocked out or I don't know what it is, but
it's just it's absolutely brutal. Should one hundred percent to
do it on our Fantasy Pro trip next year.

Speaker 20 (48:02):
But yeah, the girls, the ones that are just as
entertaining too.

Speaker 1 (48:05):
Oh brutal that I saw that one. It was like
girls at crying and she got up and then she
slapped there like it's it's too much, like I feel
like jaws are going to break and stuff.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
Like oh across the line.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Yeah, you've never seen the clips ericson what's going.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
On with your watch on TV? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (48:24):
What's your Instagram reels? Look like mine are all that
type of stuff? All right, what's up, captain slap?

Speaker 20 (48:30):
I got I gotta start sick question and then hopefully
a trade question. So the start sit as a right now,
I got aj Brown in, but I can also start
born Ioman or Tesz Johnson some kind of you know
it's a dynasty, but you know, the start sick question
doesn't matter. But Brown has been just disappointed all year.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
I mean, I personally would be tempted to start Brown
over or Born over Brown if if there's no Piersol,
But I don't know if I could quite stomach it
just because of the talent, I do have AJ Brown
over him, but if I was super worried, I do
think Bourne provides a floor. But like we know what
the upside of Brown is and we're not He's not
favorable this week, so I would probably still tell you

(49:13):
AJ Brown is the way to go. But I do
think with no pureasault, Bourne is going to eat again
this week.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Yeah, I think it's still a J. Brown. I think
that it is close. I would say that the Falcons
defense is like really good. That does matter. So like
Bourne has smashed the last couple of weeks, I think
he can still be productive. But will he like go
for over one hundred yards like a third trade game,
Like maybe that's I know Welsh, It's like yes, going

(49:43):
over one hundred yard?

Speaker 1 (49:44):
No, I know, I don't think it's any guaranteed, Like
this is a tougher defense.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Yeah, I think I still start just.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Bourne's gonna get targets. That's my main thing. Where a J.
Brown You're just like please, all right, what was the
other question?

Speaker 20 (49:56):
So it is a dynasty question. But I just need
to know what what is Kittle's value? Like I have
Kincaid right now, and the Kittle manager has Tyler warrens
at he's shopping Kittle. What do I do?

Speaker 7 (50:07):
Like, do I trade for Kittle?

Speaker 2 (50:10):
I like to get rid of them.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Yeah, I mean they don't need him. I'll bet you
they're just like they're wanting to have the high return.
I just don't know if I'd want to do high
return in a dynasty on a thirty plus year old,
injury prone tight end. I love him, but I think
it's kind of rental piece. So I'll bet you the
cost is too high in a dynasty.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
Mean, some of that tight ends just like I mean,
if you had bought Travis Kelce like four years ago
when he was thirty one or thirty two years old,
like that was like profit. Now I know that they're
not the same guy. Kittle is more injury prone, I
would say than Kelsey has been, but he's so efficient
when he's on the field.

Speaker 18 (50:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:52):
So I mean a second round pick, rookie, second round pick.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Next that's so yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
Kind of like what I was saying, because I mean,
you can get you can always find young tight ends
because most of them are bad. So it's really easy
to like add youth to your team. But you need production.
Kittle is That's all he does is produced, just when
he's on the field.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
All right, last couple of quick ones. This is fourth
down catalysts. Did you pay you guys?

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Hear me?

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Oh, conversion works, It's good. Congratulations on the fourth down recovery.
You are the Dan Campbell of our of our show
this week, art, what do you got?

Speaker 2 (51:29):
All right?

Speaker 21 (51:30):
So it's a quick dynasty trade question. So I currently
have in my running back room Scatt Henderson, Marx Irving,
and Spiras' is in my top backs and I'm sitting
on top of the league. I just want to know
should I just sit on Henderson at first? Or should
I just try to sell and see if I'm able
to make more profit out of it.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
What do you think, Erickson? You're you're more believing ericson
Anderson's going to turn this around quicker?

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah, because I think that he's I just don't think
that he is bad.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
He's talented, super talented.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Nobody I mean, but yeah, he's not been playing good
at all. Like the first six weeks, none of the
Patriots running backs have played good. So I would hold.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Okay, I think I would hold too, Ribs and Geese,
what's up? Last two?

Speaker 15 (52:18):
Some guys gross dynasty trade for you? A lot of
guys you don't like involved here. Uh, first sight is
Derrick Henry Saquon and Chris Olave. And I'd be giving
away Kamara, Chase Brown, A J. Brown and Darren Waller.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
Yeah, I mean I'm doing that today, tomorrow, yesterday, and
next week.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Eric s Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (52:49):
Mean what are you giving up?

Speaker 6 (52:51):
A J.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Brown, Chase Brown? None of all the Browns, all the
browns Brown do for you nothing? Nothing Brown? Can you
anything for your chins? Or you get to cap off
the show? What's up?

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Dude?

Speaker 17 (53:04):
Disgusting? Josh Allen?

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Bye?

Speaker 17 (53:06):
Week streaming quarterback questions? Any of these guys better than Stroud?

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Okay? Can I get Can I guess real quick? Because
you said it's gross, your suggestions are gonna be. I'm
gonna guess three quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco and then
Cam Ward.

Speaker 17 (53:26):
Not Kim Ward. I would never suggest those first two
quarterbacks because they might play tonight.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Okay, not right, Oh, I screwed that up that night.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
I did time out.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
We'll fix it and post one penalty, all right? So
who are the actual.

Speaker 17 (53:40):
Quarterbacks Pennix rattler. I don't think I want to play Dart.
I mean those two are Rogers, and I mean other
than that, if I just roll with Stroud.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Well one of them's not gross, and we're going to
both co sign this. You're going Rogers over Pinnix.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
I've been back to back pray Henderson didn't play, so's
the Bengals defense is terrible and he's their best defensive
player and he's not playing. So I think Rogers is
He's got to hi.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
But I think you just took a party foul because
that's the Thursday quarterback.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
You opened up the can because you madol so I
did it? Okay?

Speaker 1 (54:18):
I like Michael Michael Penix forty and his defense is
absolutely decimated. It's not good. The secondary's okay, they have
no pass rush Penix's relative. I mean also, it might
be Bejeon getting two hundred yards. I'm one hundred percent sure.
But you guys did a great job. We got to
go because mister Andrew Erickson has to go make a
