Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of the Stardom
Citam Show.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We are with you every week to go over the
column that Michael F.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Florio rights that you can find at NFL dot com
slash at NFL dot com slash start sit Uh. It's
week two, man, Like I know you had like a
ton of time to write week one. Have you found
the rhythm? Now that here and we're in week two.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I tried something new in cause this is, like you said,
is the first week where I have to get it
all done Sunday night and all Monday. So I used
to try to be like, all right, let me write
about quarterbacks and running backs on Sunday. But those are
the positions that you need a lot of research to
go into. So what I did instead, I spent a
lot of time Sunday researching for the names I'm gonna pick,
(00:51):
and then I just bang out defense and kickers. So
cause I when I would get to let me tell you,
Monday night rolls around and you're sitting there and they're like, okay,
I've wrote about all these positions. Now I got to
write about defense and kickers at like six pm on
Monday night. It is the worst. So I was like,
let me get that out of the way early and
then I could focus on the rest. And I think
this is going to be how I do it the
(01:13):
rest of the week, because Monday night was much more
enjoyable for me.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
It really does make you reevaluate your life choices when
you're doing that sort of thing, especially on a Monday night.
For sure, we are going to go through the quarterbacks,
running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends that Florial suggests
you start and sit this week, So let's start with
the qbs.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Who's up and who's down in Week two?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Anthony Richardson at the Packers must start. I'm gonna stop
writing about him because I'm just going to assume that
everyone is playing him every single week. Jayden Daniels, I
think is quickly going to get to that point as well.
He gets the Giants this week. I'm going back for
more with Jared Goff in a good matchup against the Bucks.
I think Brock Purdy, who didn't have a good Fantasy
(01:54):
game but played excellent football on Monday Night against the Vikings,
is in play and one that I know you love, Marcus,
and I think we could get you on board, maybe
Lakwan if you're not already, but Baker Mayfield against the Lions,
and then my sits Justin Herbert at the Panthers. I
think it is a trap game. Caleb Williams at the Texans.
(02:15):
I need to see it first. Same thing with Rogers
and Kirk Cousins. I need to see it. I need
to see that they look healthy and they could give
up normal fantasy production. And then Deshaun Watson because he
is awful.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, that's pretty bad. I would talk about Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I feel like I've talked about him so much this week,
so I'm sort of gonna go against that one. Let's
talk about Brock Perdy though, because uh, I mean, look, Lakwan,
and I'm not picking on you to make you talk
about a forty nine er on purpose again, but it
is just it is just sort of a talking point
right here, because look, Purdy was not fantasy wise, was
not great in real football. He did everything the Niners
asked him to. Yeah, do you feel better about him though,
(02:54):
knowing he's got another week of Brandon Ayuk even if
there's no Christian McCaffrey. Does having Brandon I you back
from the weeks where to make you feel a little
bit more confident in him.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Yeah, I'm sure the rhythm is going to get there.
You know, those guys are basically coming off the street
playing you know, high electric football at a high pace.
So it's like the frequency just wasn't there for Brandon
at Uk and brock perty. I mean, the connection obviously
wasn't connecting that one diving past the Iyuk had in
the end zone. You know, those are the catches you
make at practice if you were actually at camp. But
it's one of those things like I look at the
(03:23):
confidence and they have in Jordan Mason mmcmc's not back.
I think this will be a matchup with the Blakns defense.
He could literally, you know, put all the haters to bed.
And I'm saying that as a Rams fan, but I'm
just saying Brockberty is a great fantasy option.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Man.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
There's just a lot of the talks and buzz and
fantasy streets that are kind of down on him as
a fantasy quarterback. I compare him as like him and
Jared Golf is like safe QB. You know, options to
have him starting lineup, So you know, I think this
will be a bounce back for that for that category
there for rock Perty.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I haven't hear the pain in his voice. I know, right,
It's just it's just hurts.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I'm thinking myself as I'm like saying, and they're like
a doing that man like it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I do have a roster with both brock Purdy and
Jade and Daniels, and I'm already seeing this is gonna
be a weekly problem for me trying to figure out
what to do.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Who are you playing.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
It's pretty, but like that's subject to change, literally at
any moment.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
It's pretty for the moment, it could change the other way.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
It's a nick I have Daniels and Golf on a lot.
I'm going Daniels this week.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, I don't know. I mean this is literally it
could be. It could be a game time decision to
see which one of these guys starts for me.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So we'll say at the moment, uh, let's move one
of the running backs, though, Floria, who do you like?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Who do you not like?
Speaker 3 (04:36):
In Week two, James Connor because he is an RB
one every time he steps on the field. As long
as he's healthy, he is healthy. Kyler's healthy, RB one
Tony Pollard who really dominated the volume last week. And
I know people are like the Jets are a tough matchup.
Jordan Mason just ran wild over them. So and the
Jets struggled against their own last year a bit too.
JK Dobbins against the Panthers must start. I think this week.
(04:59):
I know it's only been one game. I don't care.
They're playing the Panthers. And then Lakwan, you could celebrate
on this one. Brian Robinson Junior.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Podcast, when I'm surprised.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Look, I put this on Twitter. My eyes I watched
the game very closely. My eyes thought that Austin Eckler
looked better. But usage is what matters, and the usage
all went to Brian Robinson, so I got I gotta
be objective. And then and then the six is a
mere white. I'm petrified about his usage that we saw
in week one, and I think if they're trailing, it's
gonna be a lot of Alexander Madison, Javonte Williams against
(05:33):
the Steelers. My guy Austin Eckler, unfortunately, until I I
love this, until he got six opportunities, until we see
him get more. I think he has to be set
Chuba Hubbard. I would rather put him back on the
waiver wire than it might starting. Yeah, he's gone, yeah,
same in a couple of spots, and then Chase Brown
not enough volume.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I'm on the week.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So I had somebody ask me, uh lakwan about you know,
a d an ad drop thing. They said, can I
move on from Javonte Williams because I have j Julia
McLoughlin and I. It took my breath away, like, are
we are we really ready to say goodbye to Javonte?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
No yet, No, I know I told you to let
it go over the summer, but he looked fresh during camp,
and honestly, it's way too early to even know what's
going on with this backfield. I mean, Sean Payton was
naming six different running backs in his press conference and
praising them all, So I think right now it's one
of those things you just have to sit tight, see
who gets into rhythms, see who gets the hot end,
and kind of just sit patient. I mean, I have
(06:33):
a few with Javonte Williams. I got sold kind of
on him towards the back end in August, so I
definitely feel as though it's a little too early thinking
about dropping to the waiver wire.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, you're talk about talking about naming all these
these you're getting hit up by former Broncos running back
Tatum Bell.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean he might have got there.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He might get some targets, bro, he might get some
targets this week. If Sean Payton is talking up all
these guys the way he has been, I just I
really just was like, wait, why would I was like,
why would you drop Javonte and not McLoughlin, And like,
I just I know it's a debate right now, and
I'm not ready. I'm just not ready after one game
to declare that Javonte is dead.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I had both of them on the scattered at our
own rosters. I'm cool sitting then everywhere, But no way,
I haven't even considered dropping them yet.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah. Yeah, I just I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I can't do this unless you're in like a shallow,
shallow league.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I guess, I guess ten teams or less than maybe
you can you can talk about it, but anything more
than ten teams.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Uh yeah, to both those guys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
At this point, people, Yeah, like I get week one,
It's week one. Everybody wants to make like a big move,
and I feel like this is a week one that
this is a this is a week one that did
not lend itself to big moves. There was no just
one like you gotta have a guy off the waiver wire.
There was no player that was like so super bad
that you just gotta bail. Just this just felt like
(07:51):
a week to like preach patients and then let's let's
regroup and try to figure some things out for a
week two.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Last year, I remember like we we thought we had
some answers in week one, and then like by week five,
we were like, oh, week one was a complete mirage,
So let's let's let it settle's.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
This goes for defenses too, Like there's a couple of
defenses I'm not really worried about, Like it's week four
dress rehearsial game week one.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Basically the only team I'd be petrified about right now
is the Rams.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Dog shots fired. That one fired.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Man, Okay, well we're gonna We're gonna take a quick
break so that you know, Lakwan can can heal him.
After that a little bit, we will come back and
we will deal with some wide receivers and tight ends.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Right after this on the Stardom Situm Show, taking a.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Look at Florio's start tight ends for week two.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Go uh wide receivers, wide receivers. What do I say?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's sweet too. We're still we're still working at Keenan
Allen Texans uh Lookeena had elite usage and we won.
He was the go to guy for Caleb, So in
a game where I think they're trailing, I'm gonna trust him,
my guy Jamison Williams, he is breaking out. The usage
was elite. I understand we haven't seen a floor game yet.
(09:15):
Even if the floor is low, the ceiling I think
is high enough where you got to get him, especially
in a matchup like this against the Bucks. Chris Godwin.
I know you guys love him. I love him as well.
This week he's playing more out of the slot. Had
a productive Week one. The Lions struggled against slot receivers
and then Malik Neighbors. I've spoke him up on a
lot of different shows this week, but a great matchup
(09:35):
against the Commanders. My sits Jayden Reid. It's not him,
it's his quarterback. I think outside of Josh Jacobs, there's
probably not a packer I feel comfortable with starting in
week two Calvin Ridley. I know he could have had
a huge Week one, but he didn't. Will Levis didn't
connect with him. And it's more so the matchup, which
(09:55):
regardless of which side he lines up on more because
he bounces back and forth. Two elite corners Deontay Johnson
against the Chargers. This is more for shallower leagues like
I have Deontay in a lot of three wide receiver
leagues with a flex. I'm playing him there Courtland Sutton
elite volume in week one, very little production, and then
the Steelers matchup really scares me and JSN he was
(10:16):
used like it was last year all over again, so
that had me very worried after one year.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Uh LaQuan, I know you were big on i'mon Ross
Saint Brown bouncing back this week. Obviously it was the
Jamis and Williams show last week. Is there room for
both these guys to succeed? Also factoring in that Sam
Laporte has got to get his somewhere along the way.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I'm not on the Jay Jameson Williams hype train only
because the RAMS secondary is lacking discipline. It's very young
and again, we had three dbs starting dvs on IR,
So it's one of those situations like he had to
get loose, he had to, you know, make the big
splash plays, and like I feel like I did like
what I did see out of him as a route runner,
(10:55):
as a guy that could be across the middle guy
and get the yards out there to catch. Like I
just feel as though you have to really like look
at him as a matchup play guy, like he will
have to be going up against the secondary that's banged
up or a completely trash defense. But if he doesn't
do it this week, man, it's one of those things
where it's like, Okay, well we just got to figure
(11:15):
out when we could slide him in and slide him out.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Paul's If if for whatever reason, that Amanro Saint Brown
doesn't do it this week, there will be panic in
the streets. There will be two weeks in a row
of him. Member, there will be straight up panic in
which by the DIP, I guess is my advice to you.
I don't think it's gonna happen, but we'll see. But
Jamis Williams really showed out in week one and it
(11:38):
finally started to show up the promise that I think
a lot of people had for him coming into the season.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
A Monro had a game last year three catches, twenty
one yards. It was in the middle of the year.
No one freaked out. He followed it up with like
one hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown. Yeah, we
know the talent there, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's there.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
We know they exists.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Do you guys think so real?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Quick? Like?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I think the Lions probably were like, let's showcase Jamison
Williams in Week one, So now the rest of the
league has to have that in the back. I think coaches.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Operate that way.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No very well could be, especially because you don't see
these like you don't you don't show that off in
preseason anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So now week one is sort of the way we
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So yeah, that's probably probably true. All right Now for
real tight ends, start sit tight ends for week two?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I'm starting Isaiah likely because the usage was off the
charts last week. But a lot of people and are like,
does that mean I sit Mark Andrews. No, I think
I think they coexist. They played two tight end sets,
which when they're not in it, one of them is
in the slot. They're going to be fine. Kyle Pitts,
I think you continue to start this week. And then
Brock Boers. I had him as a sit last week.
I was worried because he missed a lot of time,
(12:43):
but the usage was everything we were hoping for. And
probably then some and then my sits. This one might
be spicy, but I hated the usage for Evan Ingram.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In week one.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And the Browns are elite at shutting down tight ends,
So taking a swing there, Dalton Schultz, coc Comet. They
don't get enough volume behind the other wide receivers there.
Pat Fryarmouth had twelve air yards I believe, like I
have no interest in that. And then Taysom Hill, I
know he had five carries. He also only ran five routes.
The Saints use three tight ends. Starting Taysom Hill is
(13:14):
hoping for a rushing touchdown.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Starting Taysom Hill is.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I compare it recently to it's like you know that
sketchy Chinese food place down the street that leads menus
on your door and finally you like you or you're like,
you know, just give it a shot, right and like.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Maybe it turns out to be good or maybe.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You're like, we probably should have just got pizza, Like
that's what Taysom Hill is like in your fantasy lineup.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
See, even when it's good, you're like, I don't know
if I could trust this place again, right.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Like it worked out this time, I don't know if
it's gonna work out next time for sure. Once he
Friarmouth on the Sitts gives me a sad because I
did draft him in a few places and now I'm like,
you know, kind of stuff starting him.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I think we like we drafted him thinking Russell would
start though, like yeah, with Justin Fielders is going to be.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Starting, I didn't think field is going to be starting
from week one, right, I figured we get at least
a few weeks of Russell Wilson and that would kind
of help integrate him into the offense.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So we're all Lakwanner you on with brock Buyers because
I've been on board for a little while.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Now Florio's on board this week. How do you feel
about brock Bauers.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's a big question mark for me. Man. I did
like the usage last week, Like Florio said, I mean
him and Michael Maher are going to be coexisting together.
So on a week to week basis, I'm not too
sure what it looks like, but let's head on to
week two to see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Uh Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I mean, I think certainly game script works in his
favor this week, but the way they move him around
the formation slot out wide, Getzi seems to find a
way to get his tight ends involved, and I was
really pleased with what we saw in week one. I
hope that it increases in terms of volume for him
in week two.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So there you go. That's our quick look at some
of the start sets for the week.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
For the full in depth look at it, you can
go to a fil dot com slash start sit our
Florio post those every single week. In the meantime, don't
do it for this edition of the Stardom Sidham Show.
We enjoy and appreciate you hanging out with us. Enjoy
week two, Enjoy the football. Hopefully it is a happy
and prosperous for you on the fantasy side as well
as the real football side.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The meantime, Enjoy the weekend and we'll talk to you
again real soon.
Wow, Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of the Stardom

Look, I put this on Twitter. My eyes I watched
the game very closely. My eyes thought that Austin Eckler
looked better. But usage is what matters, and the usage
all went to Brian Robinson, so I got I gotta
be objective. And then and then the six is a
mere white. I'm petrified about his usage that we saw
in week one, and I think if they're trailing, it's
gonna be a lot of Alexander Madison, Javonte Williams against
(05:33):
the Steelers. My guy Austin Eckler, unfortunately, until I I
love this, until he got six opportunities, until we see
him get more. I think he has to be set
Chuba Hubbard. I would rather put him back on the
waiver wire than it might starting. Yeah, he's gone, yeah,
same in a couple of spots, and then Chase Brown
not enough volume.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I'm on the week.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
So I had somebody ask me, uh lakwan about you know,
a d an ad drop thing. They said, can I
move on from Javonte Williams because I have j Julia
McLoughlin and I. It took my breath away, like, are
we are we really ready to say goodbye to Javonte?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
No yet, No, I know I told you to let
it go over the summer, but he looked fresh during camp,
and honestly, it's way too early to even know what's
going on with this backfield. I mean, Sean Payton was
naming six different running backs in his press conference and
praising them all, So I think right now it's one
of those things you just have to sit tight, see
who gets into rhythms, see who gets the hot end,
and kind of just sit patient. I mean, I have
(06:33):
a few with Javonte Williams. I got sold kind of
on him towards the back end in August, so I
definitely feel as though it's a little too early thinking
about dropping to the waiver wire.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean, you're talk about talking about naming all these
these you're getting hit up by former Broncos running back
Tatum Bell.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
I mean he might have got there.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
He might get some targets, bro, he might get some
targets this week. If Sean Payton is talking up all
these guys the way he has been, I just I
really just was like, wait, why would I was like,
why would you drop Javonte and not McLoughlin, And like,
I just I know it's a debate right now, and
I'm not ready. I'm just not ready after one game
to declare that Javonte is dead.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I had both of them on the scattered at our
own rosters. I'm cool sitting then everywhere, But no way,
I haven't even considered dropping them yet.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah. Yeah, I just I can't.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I can't do this unless you're in like a shallow,
shallow league.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I guess, I guess ten teams or less than maybe
you can you can talk about it, but anything more
than ten teams.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Uh yeah, to both those guys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
At this point, people, Yeah, like I get week one,
It's week one. Everybody wants to make like a big move,
and I feel like this is a week one that
this is a this is a week one that did
not lend itself to big moves. There was no just
one like you gotta have a guy off the waiver wire.
There was no player that was like so super bad
that you just gotta bail. Just this just felt like
(07:51):
a week to like preach patients and then let's let's
regroup and try to figure some things out for a
week two.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Last year, I remember like we we thought we had
some answers in week one, and then like by week five,
we were like, oh, week one was a complete mirage,
So let's let's let it settle's.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
This goes for defenses too, Like there's a couple of
defenses I'm not really worried about, Like it's week four
dress rehearsial game week one.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Basically the only team I'd be petrified about right now
is the Rams.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Dog shots fired. That one fired.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Man, Okay, well we're gonna We're gonna take a quick
break so that you know, Lakwan can can heal him.
After that a little bit, we will come back and
we will deal with some wide receivers and tight ends.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Right after this on the Stardom Situm Show, taking a.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Look at Florio's start tight ends for week two.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Go uh wide receivers, wide receivers. What do I say?
Speaker 3 (08:54):
It's sweet too. We're still we're still working at Keenan
Allen Texans uh Lookeena had elite usage and we won.
He was the go to guy for Caleb, So in
a game where I think they're trailing, I'm gonna trust him,
my guy Jamison Williams, he is breaking out. The usage
was elite. I understand we haven't seen a floor game yet.
(09:15):
Even if the floor is low, the ceiling I think
is high enough where you got to get him, especially
in a matchup like this against the Bucks. Chris Godwin.
I know you guys love him. I love him as well.
This week he's playing more out of the slot. Had
a productive Week one. The Lions struggled against slot receivers
and then Malik Neighbors. I've spoke him up on a
lot of different shows this week, but a great matchup
(09:35):
against the Commanders. My sits Jayden Reid. It's not him,
it's his quarterback. I think outside of Josh Jacobs, there's
probably not a packer I feel comfortable with starting in
week two Calvin Ridley. I know he could have had
a huge Week one, but he didn't. Will Levis didn't
connect with him. And it's more so the matchup, which
(09:55):
regardless of which side he lines up on more because
he bounces back and forth. Two elite corners Deontay Johnson
against the Chargers. This is more for shallower leagues like
I have Deontay in a lot of three wide receiver
leagues with a flex. I'm playing him there Courtland Sutton
elite volume in week one, very little production, and then
the Steelers matchup really scares me and JSN he was
(10:16):
used like it was last year all over again, so
that had me very worried after one year.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Uh LaQuan, I know you were big on i'mon Ross
Saint Brown bouncing back this week. Obviously it was the
Jamis and Williams show last week. Is there room for
both these guys to succeed? Also factoring in that Sam
Laporte has got to get his somewhere along the way.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I'm not on the Jay Jameson Williams hype train only
because the RAMS secondary is lacking discipline. It's very young
and again, we had three dbs starting dvs on IR,
So it's one of those situations like he had to
get loose, he had to, you know, make the big
splash plays, and like I feel like I did like
what I did see out of him as a route runner,
(10:55):
as a guy that could be across the middle guy
and get the yards out there to catch. Like I
just feel as though you have to really like look
at him as a matchup play guy, like he will
have to be going up against the secondary that's banged
up or a completely trash defense. But if he doesn't
do it this week, man, it's one of those things
where it's like, Okay, well we just got to figure
(11:15):
out when we could slide him in and slide him out.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Paul's If if for whatever reason, that Amanro Saint Brown
doesn't do it this week, there will be panic in
the streets. There will be two weeks in a row
of him. Member, there will be straight up panic in
which by the DIP, I guess is my advice to you.
I don't think it's gonna happen, but we'll see. But
Jamis Williams really showed out in week one and it
(11:38):
finally started to show up the promise that I think
a lot of people had for him coming into the season.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
A Monro had a game last year three catches, twenty
one yards. It was in the middle of the year.
No one freaked out. He followed it up with like
one hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown. Yeah, we
know the talent there, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's there.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
We know they exists.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Do you guys think so real?
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Quick? Like?
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I think the Lions probably were like, let's showcase Jamison
Williams in Week one, So now the rest of the
league has to have that in the back. I think coaches.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Operate that way.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
No very well could be, especially because you don't see
these like you don't you don't show that off in
preseason anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So now week one is sort of the way we
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So yeah, that's probably probably true. All right Now for
real tight ends, start sit tight ends for week two?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
What do you got?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I'm starting Isaiah likely because the usage was off the
charts last week. But a lot of people and are like,
does that mean I sit Mark Andrews. No, I think
I think they coexist. They played two tight end sets,
which when they're not in it, one of them is
in the slot. They're going to be fine. Kyle Pitts,
I think you continue to start this week. And then
Brock Boers. I had him as a sit last week.
I was worried because he missed a lot of time,
(12:43):
but the usage was everything we were hoping for. And
probably then some and then my sits. This one might
be spicy, but I hated the usage for Evan Ingram.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
In week one.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And the Browns are elite at shutting down tight ends,
So taking a swing there, Dalton Schultz, coc Comet. They
don't get enough volume behind the other wide receivers there.
Pat Fryarmouth had twelve air yards I believe, like I
have no interest in that. And then Taysom Hill, I
know he had five carries. He also only ran five routes.
The Saints use three tight ends. Starting Taysom Hill is
(13:14):
hoping for a rushing touchdown.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Starting Taysom Hill is.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I compare it recently to it's like you know that
sketchy Chinese food place down the street that leads menus
on your door and finally you like you or you're like,
you know, just give it a shot, right and like.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Maybe it turns out to be good or maybe.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You're like, we probably should have just got pizza, Like
that's what Taysom Hill is like in your fantasy lineup.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
See, even when it's good, you're like, I don't know
if I could trust this place again, right.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Like it worked out this time, I don't know if
it's gonna work out next time for sure. Once he
Friarmouth on the Sitts gives me a sad because I
did draft him in a few places and now I'm like,
you know, kind of stuff starting him.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I think we like we drafted him thinking Russell would
start though, like yeah, with Justin Fielders is going to be.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Starting, I didn't think field is going to be starting
from week one, right, I figured we get at least
a few weeks of Russell Wilson and that would kind
of help integrate him into the offense.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So we're all Lakwanner you on with brock Buyers because
I've been on board for a little while.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Now Florio's on board this week. How do you feel
about brock Bauers.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
It's a big question mark for me. Man. I did
like the usage last week, Like Florio said, I mean
him and Michael Maher are going to be coexisting together.
So on a week to week basis, I'm not too
sure what it looks like, but let's head on to
week two to see how it goes.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Uh Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I mean, I think certainly game script works in his
favor this week, but the way they move him around
the formation slot out wide, Getzi seems to find a
way to get his tight ends involved, and I was
really pleased with what we saw in week one. I
hope that it increases in terms of volume for him
in week two.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So there you go. That's our quick look at some
of the start sets for the week.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
For the full in depth look at it, you can
go to a fil dot com slash start sit our
Florio post those every single week. In the meantime, don't
do it for this edition of the Stardom Sidham Show.
We enjoy and appreciate you hanging out with us. Enjoy
week two, Enjoy the football. Hopefully it is a happy
and prosperous for you on the fantasy side as well
as the real football side.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
The meantime, Enjoy the weekend and we'll talk to you
again real soon.
