Yeah, it'll be game day.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
So it's game day.
Jordan's wearing his jersey.
He's ready to rock and rollRocking the MJD jersey.
I am joined by Phil Jordan.
No, jordan, and Seth Phil isnot here.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
I don't know if he's coming back, I don't know why
Phil's in some mountain range,mountain range lost.
Not sure what he's doing.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yeah, I want to know why your autopilots say Phil
first.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I don't know, I think I always go left or right.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Most, I think I go like this Most reports of order
is the tallest Seth.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You might be onto something there.
I wasn't thinking of that.
But yeah, we got it's week one.
We're going to dive into allthese week one matchups.
We have starts, we have sits,we have the lines.
We're going to do our picks Allthat good stuff.
Phil has not entered in hispicks for who won each game.
We'll let him do that later, Iguess.
So you guys want to dive rightinto this.
So this is our kickoff episode.

(01:20):
I think we're all excited here.
I think I speak for everyonewhen I say that.
So let's jump into this.
I guess we got Lions at Chiefs.
Feels weird not recapping ourweek or anything, right, but
everybody's already heard us onMonday.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
No one cares about our week.
Right now I'm excited, man.
Everyone cares about football.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Okay, fine, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
It does feel weird, though I will say we're jumping
into Thursday night football.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Guys.
This is kickoff game.
We have Lions at Chiefs, thetotal is 52 points and Kansas
City is favored by four and ahalf points.
We have some starts by Seth andwe have some starts by Jordan.
You want to?
We'll go Seth first with thestart.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
We're loaded up Thursday night we're too excited
for tomorrow's game, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
This game's going to be fun because I think everyone
knows the Chiefs are good.
Jordan is a semi-Chiefs fan, Iguess you can say, and we're
kind of the Lions pod here withTrent Phil and I.
Hashtag, one pride.
Hashtag, one pride.
So I'm going to go with mystart.
Since it's a one pride pod, I'mgoing to go as my start is
Jameer Gibbs.
But so the reading.

(02:27):
When I first put this together,I didn't look at the necessary,
like the sleeper.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Coach speak, coach speak.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yes, the coach speak doesn't really help.
Dan Campbell said I don't knowif he's a full workload, but I
don't really know what thatmeans, because we've been
hearing news saying that, like,not only receivers are vertical
threats.
So it's making me think, likeGibbs and me lining up in the
slot, you might be lining up atwide out like who knows, the
possibilities are endless withthese things they're saying, but
also it could just be coachtalk, like Jordan's saying.

(02:56):
But if we're playing into thescript of, I think the game's
going to go.
I think the Chiefs are going tobe ahead and the Lions are going
to be down, and that meansJameer Gibbs is going to be in
when the Lions have the ball,because they're going to be
throwing the ball a lot.
So there's my start, rightthere Volume alone.
Gibbs is going to get there foryou.

(03:18):
You're going to get what youwant at him for him.
When you drafted him, so youdrafted him pretty high as a
running back.
I think this week for sureyou're going to get the value
out of him because he's going tobe in on the passing downs and
I think he's still going to bein the game because they're down
even in the red zone area,unless it's like a for sure,
david Montgomery, get the ballon the two yard line.

(03:38):
I think Gibbs is going to be in.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm probably, honestly, the snap percentage is
going to be high.
Well, no, this is the guy I'mmost excited to play on.
Thursday night football, likeGibbs, is the guy I've been
wanting to see.
Yeah, and I'm excited I get towatch him.
I like to look really smart,really stupid, and also I think,
yeah, I think you're right.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
So I don't think there's an in between on that
one.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
There's no, I don't.
Yeah, you're right, there'sprobably no machine in me.
They're going to look reallygood or really bad.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, and also we are live streaming this game Live.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
So go check us out on YouTube.
So if you want to roast me midgame, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, at TFF dudes, give us a thumbs up, give us the
sub, okay.
But yeah, we'll be me.
I don't know if Phil should beback.
Maybe I don't know.
This is two pods in a row.
Phil should be back for thelive stream, but it'll be all of
us here watching the game.
We'll be lounging on the couch.
Be a little bit more casual, bejust, you know, shooting the
breeze having a good time Be inthe chat.
Be in the YouTube chat, allthat good stuff.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
So I'll check that out.
I know personally I can speakfor myself I'm gonna have plenty
of action in the game tomorrow.
So yes be sweating lots of,lots of different things, yeah.
Lots of different, likedifferent action too, so we'll
be at kickoff.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
We should be up and running on YouTube, so check
that out.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I think we all have some money in the game tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yes, there's a nice.
There's a nice sleeper underdogplay.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, let's get.
Let's get to that later.
Let's finish our starts and soOkay.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
So, jordan, what do you got here?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Um, I have a start.
Um, I know Seth and I kind ofhave interesting starts here.
I don't.
Well, I would assume.
Nevermind, I want to assumethings.
I haven't looked the sheet yet.
I just saw a name.
Um, I have a sky more as astart.
So we've had some weird TravisKelsey news.
So Wednesday morning TravisKelsey hyper extends his knee.
Now it's being called a bonebruise.

(05:17):
You have Jason Kelsey on thepodcast.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Sorry, I just switched over right there.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Jason Kelsey on his podcast saying that he thinks
that if they can keep theswelling down, he should be good
to go for the game.
So I I don't really know, but Ithink of the minimum.
He's not full go right.
He's going to be limited.
Hyper, extend your knee, have abone bruise, being worried
about an ACL tear, and then allof a sudden you're full, go 100%

(05:45):
.
Two days later.
It's not happening.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, I think you're, I think you're right and I
think this kind of plays intoyour start but also mine is I
think they switch up the gameplan to go around who the
players were going to talk about.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
So so like and and I know, like I've heard Kaderis
Tony might be limited a littlebit.
Um, I haven't like I've lookedfor that, but I I in my mind it
may be.
I think it makes sense to that.
I don't want to conflict onsets.
Uh play here, but that's justhow I look at it.
Like, coming up from the injury, I know Skymore is going to be
full go.
I guess that's how I look at ityeah.

(06:17):
I know he's full go.
Um, he's supposed to be takingthat juju Smith role.
She used to roll from the slotlast year.
Juju had 104 targets.
Like I know we talked about howI'm a home spread the ball
around a ton and he did.
But Juju also had over ahundred targets and like 60
catches.
So that number I think it's inthe sixties.
Um Skymore is supposed to havethat role.

(06:39):
He's going to be the startingslot receiver.
Um, and we know my home isgoing to throw the ball.
Like we know that.
Like I think the lion's rushdefense maybe a little bit be
better than the past defenseearly in the year.
I know I saw one of theircorners is on the out for the
game, emmanuel Mosley, one oftheir free agent signings.
So, um, I just think this is agood.
I just have a really good feelabout Skymore.

(07:01):
I was I was a big Skymore truthor last year.
I also love a set sky too, so Ijust think we see a, I think we
see a Skymore game, though Ifeel really good about Skymore,
and so I think I think he's thetop 30 receiver, I think he's a
flex play for sure.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, I have him in.
I haven't been a couple ofdynasty leagues, so I'd be.
I'm ready for Skymore tofinally emerge.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
And like if you have Cooper cup, I think Skymore is a
fine like replacement rightthere.
You can fill them in in yourflex.
I feel good about that.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
What is his owner?
What's his ownership here?
I'm just looking at this.
He's ADP when the dairy Sonygot her he's at 71% roster
because he might as well want tocheck his ADP, like went to the
roof.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, and most guys probably have them on their
roster are probably not going tostart him until unless maybe
they hear Jordan saying, or theyhear the cat Kelsey's not
playing.
Then it's like, okay, he'srostered, but now let's start
him.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Like there's probably some people out there who have
cup, have Skymore on theirCooper cup teams.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
What about a Noah Gray?
What are we doing with that?
You don't want to touch that.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Um, I'm like no, I bet has any Time touched on the
moment I heard they had to goand saw the props out the board
once the Travis Kelsey news wentout and I wanted cause day Noah
Gray is like receiving propsyardage prop was like 10 and a
half before Kelsey cause.
I looked at it and then I wantto go back and bet that but it
went off the board.
So I went I bet it's anytimetouched on for like small money,
but a film money.

(08:22):
I'm going to call it film money.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Okay, yeah, that's a good, that's a good thing to say
, yeah, fill money, fill money.
Okay, what?
What other start you got inhere, or Seth, you got a.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
So I know Jordan has a lot of.
I've had Skymore and I uh was.
I was looking at Kaderis, tony,before I even saw that Jordan
had Skymore and uh, I saw, andthen after Jordan said, hey, he,
I saw he was limited.
I looked at him and today theyannounced he's off the injured
report.
So he's listed as a hundredpercent.

(08:52):
So take that as what it is.
He did just have knee surgerynot that long ago, so he's
probably not at a hundredpercent, but I think he is going
to play a higher snappercentage than we think.
Uh, just because the offenseisn't going to be molded around
Kelsey like how it usually is.
So I think they're going to berunning out with, uh, with a
what they call 11 personnel,where we're running three

(09:13):
receivers and not necessarilythe two, and the tight end where
you're featuring Kelsey.
So I think Tony's going to beplaying a lot of snaps and
usually when, when Tony playsmore than 50% of snaps, he
contributes in some kind offantasy way that is, more than
10 points, okay, so you kind oftake that away from his like bad
QB play when he was on thegiants.

(09:35):
I think that is somethingthat's going to help.
But when you have the bestquarterback the league and
Patrick Mahomes.
He's going to get to someone,he's going to get the ball to
someone's hands who can makeplays, and I think Tony's the
guy you can make plays, skymore,a guy who can also make plays,
when Kelsey maybe not playing asmuch.
I think there's enough volumefor both these guys to be
successful in this game.
So I'm if you have KaderiousKony, I think this is the week

(09:55):
you start him, and if I fail youthen I'm sorry, but I I'm going
to, I'm going to die on thishill this week.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Here's the reality, and we should just say this
before we've went in this weekone, trent week one is hard.
We don't know, there is no yeah.
Like it's also simple, like weekone's also simple, like I think
this week one is a little bitweirder.
Just fact that like cups hurt,kelsey's hurt, kiddos like
questionable McLaurin isquestionable Watson and dubs are
on the injury, poor thehamstrings, like we got a lot of

(10:23):
injuries in week one.
But at the reality also isyou're not like you drafted who
you drafted.
Like for the most part, you'restarting the guys you drafted,
like when it populates in yourteam, like that's usually who
you're going with week one,unless something crazy happens.
Because it's week one, likeit's a whole new year, we can
use last year's data, but doesit really mean much?
I don't know.

(10:44):
We can make guesses like so sowe're guessing here.
We're taking shots in the darkweek ones hard.
There's no, there's no, there'sno research based like like
evidence for things.
There's no stats based evidencefor things.
So it's gut, it's a lot of gut,feel a lot of like what we
think is going to happen where,going forward at least, I will
have like facts, like numbersbehind the plays.

(11:04):
But it just there's no numberslike I can use last year's data,
but is that really any good?
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, and what is the sleeper play that's in this
game?
It's Patrick Mahomes, or isthat so?
Is that so?

Speaker 4 (11:15):
So on.
Underdog is the Patrick Mahomesfree square.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Okay, and that's.
He has to throw over a half ayard half a yard.
Yeah, Okay, so there's yourfree square.
So go to underdog inter.
Promo code dude say we'll matchup to $100.
You can do some drafts, allkinds of stuff, each week.
We're actually going to do anunderdog draft at the end of
this pod.
So, that'll be fun.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Sure, let's have a real quick in this game.
I do think David Montgomery isinteresting.
I kind of like him in thismatchup without Chris Jones.
I like him as well as Gibbs.
Yes, chris Jones makes thistotally different, like, and I
think I think, even though,according to Chris Jones, he
says they pay me tomorrowmorning, I'm sitting up for the

(11:53):
game.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
You think he's just on his couch just praying that
the chiefs get gashed for 300yards tonight.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
I think he's a guy who just wants to get paid.
Yeah, yeah.
So I think we talked.
I think Isaiah Pacheco is likeokay, in this game, like I don't
, I don't want to play.
I don't want to play McKinnon,I don't want to play.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
McKinnon, it seems like he's only fantasy playoffs
relevant every year.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
You're probably playing Pacheco, but it doesn't
throw me.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I mean, if the chiefs aren't out by a lot.
Pacheco maybe is pretty good.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
This honestly, kelsey not playing this week, it might
be like the best thing thathappens to the chiefs in the
long run, because one of thoseguys has to, you know, come out
as the alpha, and that's neverhappened.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
I mean, it's very possible they split pretty hard
too, though.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, but this really gives someone to emerge as the
number one in the chief'soffense and they've never really
had that.
So without Kelsey, I'm curiousto see what Mahomes does with
this and who really gets theball, because Kelsey, you know,
he's been like the safest firstround pick for years and maybe
ages, catching up with them.
I don't know, but it just, itjust kind of happens.
It's football, right.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Do we want to do like a show play here at Trent on
the uh, like a pod play?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, let's do it, let's do it.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
I don't know, do you want to do underdog or sleeper?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
I let's do, uh, whatever you got right now,
jordan Like what do you?

Speaker 4 (13:06):
what do you do?
Underdog, because we have thema whole square, okay.
Okay, I'll stop something.
I use that already, but we can.
We can sub that in, okay, solet's go Just as what I'm
thinking, I am thinking you wantto do Jared Goff over one and a
half touchdowns Um.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
I, I made the play, totally, don't the tail.
Uh, this one hurts me now causeI had Kelsey at over a half
receiving touchdown um with myhome's free square, and I have
almond Ross same brown over sixand a half receptions.
If the, if the lines are goingto be throwing the ball the
whole game because they're down,almond Ross same brown should

(13:43):
probably have to around 10receptions, Like, in my opinion,
he had he had like the lasteight games of the season and
last year I think he had atleast eight targets in each game
.
I think most of those weredouble digits.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
He only had like two with eight.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I think he's going to havemultiple targets over 10.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
This is kind of what I'm looking at.
Is the Mahomes?
Okay, over a half yard.
And then Jameer Gibbs, overseven and a half a rushing
attempts.
You think that's two.
I think it's over seven and ahalf rushing attempts.
That has him as a play of theweek.
Say it again Jameer Gibbs, overseven and a half rushing
attempts.
So you think he gets 10 rushingattempts.

(14:22):
I feel like his first gamepossible.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
It's possible with.
The lines are down 21,.
Zero, like in the second secondthird quarter they are going to
throw the ball every play.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
So do you want to go over three and a half receptions
?

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Gibbs yeah, oh, I think I mean that line's pretty
enticing actually to me,especially as my start his
fantasy points are at 11.65fantasy points.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
That's the line Um personally, I think I'm going to
stay like I don't know.
The Gibbs props worry, it'sjust.
There's just so much to knowwith him.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
I I'm not super excited about Laporta rookie
tight end.
I don't know if how much theyreally use them.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
I just want to see.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I mean, I know Jordan maybe doesn't like the rushing
touchdowns, but he has over ahalf rushing plus receiving
touchdown.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
What about a Riley Patterson, over six and a half
kicking points?
That's a P, a, t and two fieldgoals.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I don't love the kicking points.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
Okay, yeah, the six and a half seems.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
So I do have, let me.
Let me give what I like on here.
Trent Okay, I can't use theMahomes Free square, so I like
David Montgomery over 52 and ahalf rushing yards Okay.
Josh Reynolds over 26 and ahalf receiving yards.
Patrick Mahomes two and a halftotal touchdowns.
You can just sub in the thefree square right there.
Yeah and I like sky more.

(15:54):
Over 45 and half receivingyards.
That's a 10x payout under doglittle four-pick.
I Think I'm gonna enter thatright now, I think okay.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
So what do we got here?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
I'll do it with you, let's all do the same.
I so here the day, the monitorsame brown.
I only had question is it's nowat seven.
It's now at seven and likeSeven, eight is it's tough, like
that's a lot of catches.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah, I'm taking a monitor.
A seven receptions.
You're gonna hit there's, no,there's no, jameson Williams,
like I think he's gonna getforce-fed.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
You like you can get it so strong.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
I think, so I'm gonna go a mantra at eight man, the
Chiefs gave up what third mostpassing touchdowns last year on
defense.
Like cuz teams throwing themthe whole time, like if it goes
up 21 zero.
Like who are the Chiefs corners?
Are they like really lockeddown corners that you're scared?
Of like last time PatrickMahomes and golf played it was
like one of the best, maybewasn't the last.
Remember that money nightfootball game.

(16:48):
There's one of the bestfootball games.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
The only thing that interested me about the Josh
Reynolds pick is Marvin Jones isthe clear to is he though.
Yeah, we, we don't know right,but they also.
Cleef Raymond also played a lotlast year.

Speaker 4 (17:03):
Yeah, I mean Josh Reynolds is gonna be a star.
I think Josh Reynolds isactually like so he was hurt
with.
Josh Reynolds hurt a lot lastyear and they, if you looking at
Josh Reynolds a year before, hehad a pretty good year.
I'm pretty, almost positive.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Let's see.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Let's try not to go too much longer on this pick,
though, but this is a Thursdaynight game.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Like we're having fun with this one Try it.
We'll breathe.
Trent, there's turn.
I'm beyond to you.
There's like two games, thetotal over 50.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah this is one yeah it's just weak one.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
It's interesting.
They don't have a line on Tony,though because the ink they're
worried about, like what hisworkload is gonna be.
So, so, set in 20 and 2021 withDetroit he had 19 receptions,
306 yards, 36 targets in sevengames.
Last year I felt like he washurt, but last year Reynolds had

(17:56):
38 receptions, 407 479 yards,11 games started, three
touchdowns.
I feel pretty good aboutReynolds Until James and
Williams goes back.
I think the numbers too low.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I want that okay, so you got Reynolds.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Montgomery Reynolds Skymore my homes.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Whatever, I'm using the two and a half to old
touchdowns.
They already used that squareMm-hmm free square where you can
plug in the free square there.
And then you got div.
I like I'll ride with you amonorah, same brown, and you
said sky more 45 and a half.
Yeah, I will say on sleeper amonitor still at six and a half,
just for what it's worth.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, I might have hit that one too.

Speaker 4 (18:36):
I'm entering that for us some small money.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm going standard what, what's?
I'm not doing insurance.
What's insurance exactly?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah, that's not even a button, trent.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
My bad.
Okay, what's the other buttonthey have on there?
Okay, guys, let's pick somewinners here.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
Trent Phil's not here .
We don't need another Philtalking about insurance and me
Sorry, I'm sorry.
So we need gamblers.
Trent, you know the responsible.
Yeah, come on, come on, come on.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Okay, who do we got winning this game here?

Speaker 4 (19:06):
This is a really big statement game here, chiefs at
home defending Super Bowl champs.
What's the line you got now?
What do you got?

Speaker 3 (19:13):
on there.
Four and a half KC game totalsat 52.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
It's gone down, so it was at like six, six.
It was six and a half threedays ago.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
I'm gonna end up hitting the chiefs four and a
half, so I'm going she's fourand a half and I got the chiefs
wait on the money line.
Chiefs winning.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I'll take the chiefs on the line.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
I'm gonna go lines just so me and Phil can really
have some fun.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
I'm gonna say the chiefs are gonna win, but go
lines, go baby, okay.

Speaker 1 (19:37):
All right, and today's kickoff preview is

So let's keep going on here.
We are now going over fromThursday night to Sunday games.
Our first game of the slight isPanthers at Falcons.
The total is 39 and a half in.
Atlanta is favored by three anda half points.
Guys, jordan, you got anythingin here.
Is there any plays you reallyliked here?

Speaker 4 (20:41):
um no Pits.
London, bijon miles Sanderscall today.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah, I don't.
There's no Panthers guys Ireally want to play.
I think you probably.
If you drafted Drake London,you're probably gonna have to
play him right.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Yeah, I think you can play cow pitch Drake, london,
bijon like the get the guys, theguys, they're gonna win the
game for him.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
I Think Bijon will be fun to watch.
I mean, it'll be interesting tosee how Bryce young does, you
know, in his first game.
But I think I think the linesright here, I think the Falcons
are gonna win.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
I'm hoping this is a good a get right game, first
step forward for Desmond Ritter.
That's what I'm hoping.
I've a lot of shares in them.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's a good first game yeah it's a good first game
.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
It's a low total, though, like that's why part of
the reason I don't want to playanybody in it.
There's gonna be a lot ofrunning the ball.

Speaker 4 (21:25):
Yeah, I just I think miles enters.
Okay, I think miles enters isall in this game.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, because the Falcons defense isn't anything
you know to snuff about, rightlike it's just.
It's just whatever.
So got an NFC south title.
There's anything else we wantto touch on in this game.
I don't know if there'sanything really worth digging
into deep right now there's no,no, no props I really like
either.
I'm gonna say Falcons win thisgame.

(21:50):
Anyone going Panthers?
No.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
I'm going to go Falcons, okay, even though, like
I Can see the Panthers coveringa three and a half and, being
honest, yeah like, but I'm gonnago.
Falcons, the one the game.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I'm curious.
Bryce young is a guy, anotherguy like.
I'm curious, watch bothquarterbacks in this game.
Alright, next game we have astart.
In this game it's Texans atRavens.
The total is 43 and a half.
In Baltimore is favored by 10and a half points.
I believe this is the biggestmargin of the week.
Jordan, what is your?
You got a sit in this game, Ibelieve.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Yeah, I got Damian Pierce as a sit here, so last
year Ravens were one of the bestrun defenses.
We look at rushing yardsallowed and Touch rushing
touchdowns allowed and and,honestly, like I, damian Pierce
getting a lot of hype thisoffseason, I just honestly I
don't see like.
I know he was really good lastyear, but we're talking about a

(22:48):
team with a rookie quarterback.
They're going to stack the boxagainst them and they signed
devil Singletary, like I know.
It was three and a half millionOne year, three and a half
million contract.
It's not nothing like it's not.
It's not a lot, but it's alsonot nothing.
They invested a little bit ofmoney in it to him.
So I think there's a split herewith Singletary, at least some

(23:08):
type of split, even if it's 60,40, 70, 30 like.
There's something there.
And, like I said, I think theRavens are gonna stack the box.
They're gonna make stroud beatthem.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
On top of that, this game is in Baltimore and Texans
are 10 point dogs like the guy Ireally want to see is tank,
though, and I don't know if thiswill be the game he comes out,
but he, you know, he said he hasthe list of all the guys
drafted ahead of them.
I know guys do that every year,but they say he looks pretty
good.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
Well he's a study was .

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Preseason.
He looked really good.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
Yeah, he was a stud in college, but yeah, so yeah,
back to Damian Pierce.
I just, I just 10 point dogs onthe road Against the team who
was rather really good rundefense.
I'm staying away from DamianPierce this week, okay, but yeah
, the rest of the game, and whatdo you guys think I mean?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I mean Baltimore is gonna have a fun game.
I mean it'll be interesting,zay flowers will be fun to watch
.
I mean there's some new guys,that I mean rookies that
everyone's excited about be funto watch.
But I think the Ravens justhandle this game.
You know they run the ball allover them.
They win.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I think, go ahead.
I'm always excited to just seethe new faces right.
Like Zay flowers, I'm even kindof intrigued about Odell
Beckham this week.
You know, like I'm not playinghim, I just want to see how he
does Few things on this game forme.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
I think JK Dobbins is .
You're obviously probablyplaying him where you drafted.
I just think he's intriguingthis matchup.
I think it's a solid match forhim.
Curious see what he looks like,because he didn't look good at
all last year.
And then I will probably havesome Zay flowers on Sunday and
DFS some some my lineups.
Just a little cheap, cheap Zayflowers shot.
Yeah, I think the Dobbins 50over 55 and a half rushards Prop

(24:50):
is not bad either.
Okay, it's what I look.
I lean the over there.
No, I don't love it, but Ithink it's solid.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
You're firing up your mark Andrews, your Lamar
Jackson.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah all the obvious guys.
I just think on the Texans likeI'm not.
I don't think I'm startinganybody in a Texan side.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Yeah, I need to see more.
I need to see more if I'mwilling To trust that offense
somewhat.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I think Baltimore is also one of your survivor picks.
If you're in survivor pool,you're right.
I think they're one of thethinkers like two.
Honestly, in my opinion,there's two to survivor picks.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
I'll mention the other one when we get there, but
I think Baltimore is one ofthem, okay remember, give us a
follow on TFF dudes and in onTwitter and TFF dudes or X,
whatever it's called.
I think it's still Twitter comm, so I'm gonna keep calling it
Twitter even though I think it'sX.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
Comm now, trent I.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Would not enter that on your computer.
It's Twitter comm.
Do not go.
Do not type X dot.
You get off my Wi-Fi for you dothat.
Anyways, I am saying Ravens winthis game.
Is anyone saying Texans winthis game?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
not, not a ten and a half Difference, no, I think
it's obvious the Ravens aregonna win.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
All right.
What are you doing, jordan?
Because I did Twitter comm onmy computer today earlier and it
came up.

Speaker 4 (26:07):
It is a link.
Sweet sentence as X comm.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Okay, I don't know.
When I get on my computer andtype in Twitter comm, it goes to
Twitter, I'm sure they stillboth own probably probably both.
Okay so we're gonna experiment,right yet.
Trent.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
X.
Comm goes to Twitter.
Comm home.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Wow, okay, so they both work as a close one.
Okay, our next game we have isthe bangles at the browns is
kind of a little bit of arivalry here.
Cincinnati is favored by twoand a half.
Yeah, I, you've got yourobvious guys chase.
And what's the update on burrowis he?
He's locked.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I'm good to go percent.
Yeah, okay, I don't love likeJoe mixing in this matchup.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I don't have him as a sit, but Like I think this
browns defense has improved.
I think it's gotten better,like Miles Garrett's always
getting better every year.
I do think mixing will get morereceptions this year, but I you
have to.

(27:08):
You have to play him rightwhere you got him.
So mixing yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
Yeah, I, the same way , like I you have to play mixing
, but I just it's like okay,like I don't know, like you have
to play him just for that,those two blow-up games.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
He has every year, right, I mean, where you drafted
him You're starting him soBangles or brown side.
Probably got a start, cooper.
If you drafted him, youprobably you're obviously
playing Nick Chubb.
This could be a game that goesover the total.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
See, I feel the opposite actually go lower.
I think it might go under, Idon't know.
I I honestly I was listening toanother podcast or a show.
I was like I don't know what Iwas listening to, and there's
someone mentioned that thatCleveland always plays the
bangles really tough, yeah.
Now that I think about that, Ithink it's right, like it's
right.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, it's just, it's a rivalry.
They, the fans, hate each other.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
The bangles like own, has owned everybody in that
division except for the Brownsthe last few years, and it's in
Cleveland in Cleveland.
Cleveland in Cleveland.
So Okay, yeah, I think theBengals win, but I do like, I do
like chubble a lot here.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Alrighty, I'm gonna go with.
I'm gonna go with the Bengals,I'm gonna go Bengals also.
I almost think we should dothese totals week by week so
people get a little bit morecrazy, rather than the whole
season.
What do you mean?
Like whoever gets the most winsper week wins the week, and
then you could get like Whoeverwins the most weeks At the end

(28:34):
it'd be like, okay, jordan won10 weeks, trent won 8.
You know what I'm saying,rather than the whole season.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Oh, that's a good idea.
You know what I'm saying,because then when you, we could
get both no.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
But then when you fall behind it's like you're
done you know what I'm sayingLike I think it'd be better to
just go week by week.
Oh, there might be some tiesfor a little bit, but then you
go to like a Monday nightfootball prediction or something
you know.
It's just like the pigskinpick'em that they used to have
in the local paper.
I love doing that as a kid.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
So did I, Trent.
You took this now to yourCleveland.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I took.
I'll go Cleveland just for fun,week one, seth, you know
they're in the dog pound.
No, I'm going Cincinnati.
All right, sign up for ourdude's letter, the only fantasy
mid-letter that will make youlaugh, make you cry.
I had a little draft guide.
It was pretty simple.
It was a 10-round draft guide,went directly to your inbox.
Go sign up for that.

(29:21):
Wwwfantasyfootballdudescom.
I will be delivering a waiverarticle every what is waiver day
Wednesday.
It's been a while.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Can I get?
Can I get that out?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Tuesday morning.
Waiver's clear on Wednesday, soTuesday mornings I'll be.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Tuesday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday.
Tuesday night, Wednesday.
So go ahead and check that out.
Next game we got we have theJacksonville Jaguars at the
Indianapolis Colts.
Jacksonville is favored by fiveGardner-Minshew Revenge Game.
Jordan, I know he's not playing, but I'm sorry.
Yeah, we have.
I'm sure you guys have someCalvin Ridley plays.

(29:59):
I'll have Lockton Loaded Sundaymorning, whether that's
underdog sleeper, whatever, withall that other offshore,
whatever it is.
But what else do you want tosay here, Jordan?
Just be still in my heart.
You're not quite ready what youwant to do, or no, I like
Jacksonville in this game.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I think they cover the five, but it's a little
tough bet on the road.
Cover the five.
I wish the number was a littlelower.
But I think you're playingTrevor Lawrence.
I think you're playing TravisEtienne.
I like Ridley a lot in thisgame.
I think you can play IvanIngram.
I think you can play ChristianKirk Wait and see on Tank Bixby.
I think you cannot play TankBixby in this game.
You got to see what his role isand I think on the Colts side

(30:39):
it's Pittman and nobody elsereally, and I don't even really
love Pittman.
I guess you could play likeDion Jackson, zach Moss, whoever
the heck is starting for theColts.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
It's going to be like a timeshare.
I was more excited forRichardson when they had Taylor.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Now that they don't have Taylor, I'm not Teams are
just going to literally make himthrow.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
I am really excited to just watch him run around,
though.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah, I think.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
I think this game could be ugly.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
I think a gyro is my win this game by double digits.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
but you see all the time he put in, though on his
day off he was at the facilityeight hours putting in that
extra time getting ready for thegame, getting the head start.
Now I'm excited to seeRichardson.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
other than that, so I think Seth got a really good
number on the Ridley prop, but Ithink he's at 62.62 and a half,
now 61.5.
I think that's fine yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
I got him at 58.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Yeah, Seth got him below 68 or 57.5.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah, which is?

Speaker 4 (31:32):
really nice.
Yeah, I like the Ridley stuff.
Probably going to have someTrevor Lawrence stacks this
weekend in my lineups but yeah,I like this game.
I like Jaguars, obviously.
So.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
All right, we all got .

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Jaguars.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
I think we're going Jags all the way across the
board.
Jacksonville Jags, all righty.
Next game we have, we have theTampa Bay Buccaneers traveling
to the Minnesota Vikings.
The total is 45.5.
Minnesota is favored by six.
I'm just getting too hyped upon the rookies.
Like I'm excited to see Addisonin this game, I think he can

(32:09):
fire.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Justin Jefferson is just so fun to watch.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Yeah, bucks defense is pretty good, though right
Like they're okay.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
I don't think they're they're not what they used to
be.
I think their run defense willbe okay.
Their pass defense is not goingto be good yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
I wasn't super excited about Madison, but I
think he's going to have areceiving role also.
I'm curious to see how thingsshake up in that backfield.
I guess you you got to startJefferson.
I think he can play Addison.
Kurt Cousins is probably a niceplayer.
You think you can play Addison.

Speaker 3 (32:43):
I think you maybe can .
If you can wait, I think try.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, if you can wait .
You, yeah, you probably need towait, if you can try Just with
the rookies.
He's the three wide receiver onthe depth chart right.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah, like KJ Obbs Born's there.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
But listen to me say this though I'm saying that
about Addison, but then when Iget to JSN I'm like no, start
him, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
I think you wait and see.
On Addison, that's just me,this is Just because no, no, no.
If you have Cup, maybe you'replaying Addison.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, I have some.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, Jefferson is still going to demand half the
throws that Kurt Cousins throws.
He's going to get half of thetargets.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
And Hawkins is there, yeah, and Osborn's done good
things.
So I still like Addison a lot.
The rest season I just I don'tknow if this is the spot.
I just want to wait and see.
I do think this is like one ofthe better buck spots.
Maybe we see this year Trent.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
Really You're playing Rashad White.

Speaker 4 (33:39):
Yeah, I think Rashad White's awesome.
I actually really like RashadWhite in this spot.
One of my favorite props justbefore the show Got Rashad White
over 47 and a half rushingyards.
I think that's on both Sleeperand Underdog.
I really like that.
I think that's like a staplefor me this week Rashad White

(33:59):
and a lot of just differentstuff for me this week Mike
Evans is kind of intriguing Idon't love Evans.
Godwin, but I think they're okay.
Like it's just like thisVikings Stevens is not going to
be good, they will not be good,so I kind of like this game yeah
.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
And then, like you know, that was kind of their
weakness last year and they kindof bolstered up the offense
even more, like it's kind ofinteresting.
Yeah, um, anyone going buckswhen this game no no.
All right Next.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
I can see the bucks covering, though, for what it's
worth.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Next game we got is Titans at Saints.
The total is 41.
New Orleans is favored by threeand a half.
Derek Carr's first game with anew organization Weird game,
Honestly.
I feel like with the Titans, Iguess Henry's healthy.
What Titans are you willing toplay besides Derek Henry?

(34:51):
You're going to wait and see.
On Berks, I guess D hops.
Okay, Berks playing.
I'm not sure if Berks isplaying.
Uh, I'm excited.
A lot of a almost made my startof the week, but I don't want
to.
Just it's kind of I didn't wantto just keep pounding the same
drum.
You know what I'm saying.
Like play a lot of.
You know what I mean.
Like I think everyone knowswhere I stand is a.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
No, I agree, I think a lot of a isn't play.
I think Henry Hopkins you'reall play your Henry, a lot of
your playing.
For sure Hopkins is in play.
Michael Thomas is likeborderline flex, maybe if you
have Cooper cup on your team, um, or like if Christian Watson I
don't even got there, but ifWatson dubs were to miss, it's
Conjuring Miller playing or no.
Do we know that?

(35:32):
Uh, I do not know.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
At the moment.
Are you looking at?
Up there now.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Andre Miller is a do not practice today.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
So if Conjuring Miller didn't play, they don't
have Alvin Comara.
I think Jamal Williams is kindof a star.
I think you got.
I think you got to play JamalWilliams.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
If, if.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Kendra or Conjuring Miller.
Well, it's Kendra, actually,kendra Miller were to play, I
think that makes Williams lessof a guaranteed start.
But if they're down to like,who would they have behind them?
Jamal Williams?

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I don't know, but Jamal Williams is probably a
pretty good Kirk merit.
Yeah, jamal is probably gettingall the red zone.
Yeah, carries regardless.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
If Kendra, if Kendra Miller is out, you're playing.
You have to play Jamal WilliamsIf you have him.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
Jamal Williams will play almost every snap because
the guys, it's Kirk Merritt noone knows who that is.
And then practice squad membersTony Jones and Jordan Mims.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
We all know who Jordan Mims is.
Don't say, no one knows whothat is.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
I'm saying no one knows who Kirk Merritt is.
Jordan, Mims Fresno State.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Honestly, and Tony Jones has had has been in the
Saints organization for a while.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yeah.
So, he's been a waiver wiredarling yeah In the past, but
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
I'm not falling for that again.
I can't believe we have threeFresno State guys on the Saints,
yeah, and haters suspended youknow, uh Peds, yeah Peds.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Let's not get into that either.
Uh, I kind of like JoanneJohnson Maybe.
Yeah yeah, if you're tight end,tied ends are hard.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
I don't really honestly, I don't think about
tight ends.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
But yeah, if you have Travis Kelsey, he might be a
decent fill in.

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yes, yes, 100% 65 and a half receiving yards.
Hit the over on that.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
I like that one.
Okay, I'll hit that.
Uh, okay, I'm going to saysaints, win this game.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Yeah, so saints Saints two.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
All right, game eight we have some starts and sits in
this game here.
I think we just got sits.
We got 49ers at Steelers.
Total is 41 and a half.
San Francisco is favored by two.
A lot of you know the talkingheads on TV actually think the
Steelers might get the upset inthis game.
Have you seen all that?

Speaker 4 (37:37):
You can love me with the talking heads.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
I I yeah, I kind of think.
So this just mind.
Bosa just got paid, he's out,though I think he's not going to
play now.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty
sure, why is he not?

Speaker 1 (37:51):
going to play?
Is he just not conditioned, orwhat?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
we not?
Is he not been practicing oreven like conditioning on his
own?

Speaker 1 (38:01):
I think Bosa could play, if Bosa wants to play.
Has he heard Nick Bosa?
We have a lot of 49er fanlisteners and the nine.
You know we got Brock Purdyback.
See if he can really do it.
I think it's and Kittle's notplaying right.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
So he 13.
So, yeah, he was not in thebuilding with his teammates for
meetings and stuff.
Okay, I mean he might play now.
I don't know Um sure.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
He.
Well, they have a new Dcoordinator right, but I I bet
he play, or he could play.
Seth, do you want to do your?

Speaker 3 (38:37):
sit here.
Yeah, sure, I'll go with my set.
I'm going to go to Debo Samuelhere.
I did not like Debo's numbersafter Brock Purdy became
quarterback and especially afterChristian McCaffrey came in,
and I also think Debo got moreruns than we are probably going
to see this year because ElijahMitchell was hurt.

(38:59):
So I think they were doing amix where obviously they have
all their threats are on thefield, debo's on the field,
debo's in the backfield,mccaffrey's lined up out wide
where they do these weird, theseweird, uh, three headed monster
attacks.
And I also think Brandon Iuk ismaybe the premium receiver that
, like Purdy, likes, and Purdyalso likes throwing to Kittle.

(39:21):
But what do we know?
The condition of Kittle?
That's a little interesting toknow too.
Yeah, we're still a littleearly on.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Yeah, he practiced today.
Okay, so Wednesday he practiced.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
So Kittle's probably going to play.
So I think Kittle's the numberone target with Brock, Purdy and
McCaffrey is also like a prettybig target that Purdy was
targeting out of the backfieldand lined up wide last year.
I just think Debo Samuel takesa step back in this in this
offense.
Is not the number, maybe likethe three or four offensive
weapon on this team and Jordanmade him his, his dad of the

(39:54):
year and I think this week oneis just going to show that Okay.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
No, I, yeah, I.
I'm not high on Debo.
I think we're kind of like, Ithink the 49ers are good, but
I'm kind of an anti-Debo guy atthe moment.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
I think the the worst thing for him because right, we
get that rushing upside withDebo is the Elijah Mitchell's
back and he's going to be takingthose secondary handoffs behind
CMC, not Debo.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Debo is the seventh highest paid wide receiver in
the NFL, which I surprises me.
49ers have the highest paiddefensive end with Nick Bosa,
highest paid running back withChristian McCaffrey, highest
paid fullback with Kyle Juzczyk,third highest paid tight in and
Kittle and third highest paidleft tackle and the third
highest paid linebacker in thesix highest paid defensive

(40:45):
tackle.
So they're paying everythingbut their quarterback only makes
934,000 a year.

Speaker 3 (40:52):
So, and the highest paid DN.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah, so.
So here's the update on NickBosa and Kyle Shanahan.
The possibility of Nick Bosanot being available to play
Sunday.
He'd have to be have a beerbelly and be out of shape.
Yeah, I think Bosa's going toplay.
I just don't know how muchhe'll play.
Yeah, he's probably not full go.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
I I think the the 49ers defense.
I don't think it's a gooddefense.
Fred Warner, bosa theirdetackle I have nausea as a sit.
Really, I just don't.
I've I've been a big nauseatruther and, honestly, where you
draft your draft capital, youhave to play him.
This week.
This is more of a like.
I'm thinking he's like under a10 point game here, cause I
think Jalen Warren's going to bepretty good and I think the I

(41:32):
think Pittsburgh's going tothrow a lot.
I I'm excited to see GeorgePickens playing this game.
I think it's a B, but I'mthinking Warren's going to eat
up some of those carries ismostly what I'm thinking.
I think this is a good defense.
I think the Steelers are goingto have to throw.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
I like the pickings over 40, 42 and a half.
It was 42 and a half earlier.
I think it may be 43 and a half.
I like his over receiving props.
Don't love it, but I like it.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
I'm going 49ers win this game.
Bosa's back, he's paid, he'shappy.

Speaker 4 (42:04):
I mean it doesn't mean, I just don't know how much
he plays.
They're going on the road, it'sthree hours.
I just don't think he has a beerbelly Like I think he's no, I
agree he's in shape, but alsolike he hasn't been with the
team to get to get there.
You have a what one practice.
They're probably flying outFriday.
I mean it's cross country, eastcoast trip, so it's a lot for
just to be able to get back onthe play.

(42:25):
You know, like he's going to bethere, he's going to be in the
game.
Just how much is he actuallygoing to do?
I have Pittsburgh win this game.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Seth, what are you doing here?
I'm gonna go 49ers, okay.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Next game we have here last game for the morning
slate.
We have the Arizona Cardinalstraveling to play the Washington
Commanders.
The total is 38 points.
Washington is a seven pointfavorite.
This is our lowest total of theweek at 38 points and a pretty
big favorite, actually Prettybig favorite.
Second biggest favorite of theweek we have some starts in here

(43:04):
and we have some sits.
This game opened up at a 40 anda half total.
It has dropped 38 points.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
And it might end up like 36 and a half 37 by game
time.

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, Quarterback is at Dubbs or Josh Dubbs right.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Josh Dobbs.
Dobbs is just to mess me up.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
So yeah, this is just the tank for.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
I think we can freely pick any team against the
Cardinals this year to win thegame.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Cardinals were really bad against tight ends last
year.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
Cardinals- is really bad yeah they're just really bad
.

Speaker 1 (43:32):
They're full on tank job.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
They're the worst team right now.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
And I think it's gonna make.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Caleb Williams stay.
Josh Dobbs yeah, for theforeseeable future, not a one
week filler.
And if they decide not to startJosh jobs, they're starting
Clayton.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Tune yeah, so Washington defense is probably
gonna be the most stream team.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I'm streaming him in multiple weeks.
I knew, going into draftstrategy, that I.
Here's some draft strategy Getthe team that is playing the
Cardinals every week and youwill get consistent points.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
You might wanna pick up who they're playing week two
right now.
I already did that in two of myleagues.
I dropped the.
This guy's playing 40 chess.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
I dropped worthless players in my roster.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
That is wrong.
That's wrong strategy, wrongfantasy advice.
How Do not carry two Divins onyour roster.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
I know people are gonna spend money on them.
Might as well get them for free.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
If you have the spot, if you have the place.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
I do.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
If you're gonna do it , week one's probably the week
to do it, but eventually youcan't hold two defenses a whole
year.
Oh, I'm not making a whole year, and you always have like three
quarterbacks too.

Speaker 3 (44:39):
So that's not true.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I never have more than one quarterback.
So, Arizona Jordan, you have astart here.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
I have a sit here.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
You have a sit here.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
sorry you really think I'd start that guy.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
I had Johan Dotson as a start and I got mixed up
right there because I TerryMcLauren's kind of beat up.
Arizona allowed the 10th mostfantasy points per game the
quarterbacks last year.
I think they're gonna be top 10in that stat category again.
Sam Howell just got voted teamcaptain.
I'm actually excited to see SamHowell play.
I think this could be a goodBryan Robinson game too.

(45:13):
You know, you might be able tofire at both the commander
running back.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
So what makes you more excited about Dotson over
Antonio Gibson?
Sorry, Terry McLauren, Is hestill?
Is Terry McLauren playing he's?

Speaker 4 (45:24):
beat up.
He said he's gonna play, but Imean he's, he's beat up and I
think Dotson's good.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
I think so too.
Dotson had some, did somereally good.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
I just I worry about the lack of scoring in this game
, Like do they have to pass theball in this game.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Dotson's a pretty big red zone to worry about, but
Dotson can take a 60 yard bombto the house.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Yeah, but it's a good .

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Sam Howell, like get right, get ready.
You know he played some goodgames last year Like this is
just a.
You know, and this is a what'shis name's first game is OC
right Benamy.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
So I think they might have some tricks and stuff
right there like that.
So you're sit Jordan.

Speaker 4 (45:56):
We got two sits in this game.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
Are we gonna have to make a rule that we can't sit?
Make Cardinals players sitanymore?

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Probably, but week one I figured that it's tough.
So Marky's brown also after Idecided he's gonna be my sit.
A couple of hours later he's onthe injury report, doesn't
practice, so I don't know, I'mgonna roll with it.
Washington was a top five andpassing yards or at least top
five and least passing yardsallowed last year.

(46:22):
I think they're gonna be betterthis year than they were last
year.
Defensively, cardinals arestarting.
Josh Jobs.
I don't wanna play Marky'sbrown, like I don't really care
where you drafted him.
Don't play Marky's brown.
Like honestly, just cut Marky'sdraw.
Marky's brown no, probablyshould do that, but I just I
don't think I'd be playingMarky's brown at all this year.
It's like a season long sit forme.

(46:43):
Marky's brown, yeah, untilsomeone other than Josh Jobs and
Clayton.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
I'm doing a really good job, unless Dobbs just
really figures things out.
Zero change, yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:53):
Yeah, my sit they're just gonna have a chance is like
the cards winning the sewerbowl and Josh Jobs figuring it
out.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
I have James Connor as my sit.
Is Chase Young finally back?
Do we know that, yet I?
Would imagine he's back, is he?
Finally playing.
I think that guy's gonna behungry, ready to play.
I honestly I don't.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
It's a tough sit, I would say.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Cause he's gonna get volume right.
But if they start blowing himout, then what do they do?

Speaker 4 (47:14):
They just dump the ball off to him.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
It's a tough sit, but yeah, I just, I don't know if
he finds the end zone, this game, and that's kind of where James
Connor, I feel like, makes mostof his you know, most at all of
his fancy, a lot of fancyproduction.
He's a red zone guy At somepoint.
James Connor is probably gonnaget hurt.
This year too.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
That's kind of something that happens every
year is the James Connor injuryespecially when they have
nothing else to do, and that'sjust gonna make the Cardinals
worse.
Yeah, and James Connor.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
If James Connor gets hurt, then they, james Connor,
should, just you know, pretendhe's hurt or something.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
He might end up getting traded this year.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Yeah, he might be a good guy to target right now,
hoping he gets traded.
I don't know, maybe you can gethim on the cheap.
He'll probably go to the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Okay, Last thing on this game Washington's the other
survivor spot.
I think, Trent.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
I think it's Washington Baltimore.
I think Baltimore is a tad bitsafer.
I don't know how much saferthey're like.
I don't know how Washingtonloses this game at home.
It would be if Sam Howe wasjust an absolute disaster, but I
don't see that based on what Isaw on the pre-season from him.
And Washington, I think, hasbetter like there are better
pick in some ways, becausethere's probably a less likely

(48:26):
chance of you using them againthis year as opposed to
Baltimore.
There might be other spots.
We're gonna use Baltimore.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Anyone taking the cart?

Speaker 4 (48:35):
No.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
This is where Phil would come in and say can you
give me the points?

Speaker 4 (48:38):
And I would say I'll give you the points, Phil.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Okay, afternoon slate .
Then we have the Green BayPackers traveling to the Chicago
Bears.
Total is 42 and a half.
Chicago is favored by two and ahalf.
Christian Watson kind of has ahammy.
It's kind of Ham and dubs.
Yeah, I was excited to seeJordan Love playing this game.
I'm getting less and lessexcited with all the injury news

(49:03):
Green Bay's facing.
I think you could probably playAaron Jones, maybe on the
Packers side.
Who else do you wanna play overthere?
Superflex, maybe you're playing.

Speaker 4 (49:14):
Jordan Love, if you have to Maybe, maybe you don't.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
I feel like this game is so hard to pick on because
we don't know if Watson or dubsare playing.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Like I feel like if Watson and dubs are playing.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
I lean Packers, but if they don't, I'm not sure how
I wanna pick.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I need to see a little bit more out of Jordan
Love before I say I lean Packers.
They say it looks good.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Yeah, it's tough.
Out of Chicago too, it's atough place to play, but I am
curious to see how Jordan Lovedoes.
I think on the Bears side Ilike Clil Herbert, justin Fields
, dj Moore your big three Ithink Climae can throw in there.
But I like Herbert.
I think Packers, historicallythe last few years have not been

(49:54):
the best run defense.
They've kind of been a littlenot very good in stopping the
run.
So I think Clil Herbert.
I think Clil Herbert might bein for a big game here.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
I was made DJ Moore as my start of the week.
I just didn't wanna do it but Ithink this is gonna be the game
that's gonna evolve.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
Does this total seem a little low to you?
43?

Speaker 1 (50:11):
It does, but I think with let me see what an open-.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
Or what is it?
I have it at 43.
I think it's open, right nowit's opened.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
just scroll down here a little bit.
It is 42 and a half right now.
It opened up as 44 and a half.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
It's going down, I like maybe with the news of the
receivers, maybe Maybe, maybewhat, what?

Speaker 4 (50:33):
I think we can see points in this game Do we have
any sleeper?

Speaker 1 (50:35):
What's DJ Moore's line?
I did not look at DJ Moore.
He's another you know guycoming back in.
I wouldn't mind seeing him onunderdog or DJ Moore is at six.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
Sorry, that's season.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
He's at three and a half receptions is his line and
his receiving yards is 48 and ahalf.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
I am bad, I might take him on the receptions.
Actually A four receptions.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Three and a half seems low.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
It does seem low and he's.
I think they're gonna force him.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
What do you say?
His receiving prop was Threeand a half.

Speaker 3 (51:08):
Well, who's the Packers corner?

Speaker 4 (51:09):
It's Yards prop Yards prop 48 and a half.
That's pretty low.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Who's the corner the Packers have, though he's pretty
good.
Jair Alexander Maybe.
Jair's on him the whole time.
That might be part of the 45and a half or whatever.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
that is really low though 48 and a half.
Yeah, I like that one, I think.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
I'm gonna put him in somewhere tonight before it goes
up.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Just so everyone knows, jair Alexander did make
Justin Jefferson do nothing.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Yeah, that game, justin Jefferson did nothing,
that game Just throwing that outthere yeah maybe it's a little
different, though, because yougot to account for fields
running and stuff too.
Maybe that helped, yeah, ormaybe that just means fields
runs the whole game.
Yeah, all right, I'm gonna sayBears win this game.

Speaker 3 (51:52):
I'm gonna I'll go Bears too, Just with the Bears
right now.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
Yeah, I got Bears at home.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
The home helps.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Soldier field.
It is soldier field, right.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Yeah, yeah for now, unless they move, I don't know
what ended up happening withthat.
Next game we have the Las VegasRaiders that sounds weird
saying playing at the DenverBroncos Total is 44.
Denver is favored by four and ahalf.
Got Jimmy G at the helm versusRussell Wilson.
Russell Wilson's coach shownthe quick kissing babies and

(52:24):
start playing football, or youknow.
So maybe we see a little bitbetter Russell Wilson this year.
I think you got to wait and see.
It's P Ryan the running back.
There is Givante on a snapcount.

Speaker 4 (52:37):
We aren't quite sure I saw that.
They said I don't know if itwas Shining's.
The old coordinator said hecould see Givante kind of being
eased into it and then it'll befull go by the end of the year.
But I like Givante, I think.
I don't know.
I think you can.
Then you kind of have to waiton Givante.
We like, if you need to startthem and you're okay to start

(52:58):
them, yeah.
Judy's probably out.
Still right, I am, he'squestionable.
I think I think Sutton's good,he's fine.
I think his Raiders defense isgoing to be pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
Judy was limited.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
Yeah, I think he's going to be pretty bad.
Still, I am shrinky who are youlike?

Speaker 1 (53:14):
who are we taking to win this game?

Speaker 4 (53:16):
I got Denver, unfortunately.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
You have Denver.
I don't feel great.

Speaker 4 (53:20):
Reluctantly.
I have Denver and Mile HighStadium.
You're playing.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Devontae, you're playing Devontae Adams, josh
Jacobs, josh Jacobs, Just thosetwo, no one else.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
Please know Devontae Josh Jacobs.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
I want to see how.
What's the other receiver'sname, hunter Rymfro?
I want to see how he does withGaroppolo Say he looks good at
practice.
Jimmy G does know McDaniel'soffense pretty well.
He's played in it before.
But it's not like I'm going tosay play Jimmy G.
I'm just wondering if thatmeans those guys.

Speaker 4 (53:46):
The smartest guy in the world could know Mike
Daniels or Josh McDanielsoffense front and back memorized
genius.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Yeah, but who's there back there?
You can't throw a football, itdoesn't matter yeah that's true.
We going to see McConnell orwhat Aiden, what's his name?

Speaker 4 (53:58):
at some point Aiden O'Connell.
Maybe I like his stash.
Aiden O'Connell is good at.

Speaker 1 (54:05):
Purdue.
His stash is cool.
Okay, I think we all could saythat's a cool stash.
Seth's kind of pulling theO'Connell right now.
What's holding Seth back,though, is he's a wannabe stash.
What's holding Seth back, though, is he is a modern man, and the
modern man is a man who takescare of himself.

Anything else we want to talkabout in this Raiders Broncos
game.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
Sean Payton's back coaching.
Yeah, I don't really seeanything else in this game.
I don't know.
I think Sutton's good and, likeI said, Sutton Jacob, Javante,
Javante, if you need him.
Don't see much else.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
I'm gonna go with Raiders.
Okay, raider Nation.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
I got Denver.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Seth, what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (55:25):
here I'm gonna go.
Denver Broncos Russell Wilsonreturns back to form, no kidding
, but they win.
Okay, I think Javante will befun to watch.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
All right, next game.
This is one of the better gamesof the week.
We have the Miami Dolphinstraveling to LA to take on the
Chargers.
La is favored by three.
Is this the highest total ofthe week, jordan?
Your second highest total, Ithink.
Chiefs is 50.
Chiefs is 52,.
This is 50.
So I'm excited to see bothquarterbacks playing this game.

(56:00):
This is probably gonna be oneof the main games on in the
afternoon.
I expect to see a lot of redzone plays happening here.
Playing Herbert, you're playingall your guys.
Playing to Tyreek Waddle, keenanAllen.
They say it looks good.
He looks healthy.
Eckler, maybe Mike Williams, ifyou're feeling dangerous.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
I don't know if you're feeling.
Dangerous is the right word.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
You just think he's good, or you think he's just not
good.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
I think he's like a lock this week Okay.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yeah, I think he scores it.
I almost made my start of theweek.

Speaker 4 (56:34):
I thought you did cuz I don't.

Speaker 1 (56:36):
I go back and forth all the time.
I mess around, I monkey aroundon this dock, so much.
Shufflin in his head.
Oh, yeah and sure, probably theones I end up not picking are
the best ones.
Right, I need to just go withmy gut.

Speaker 4 (56:49):
Yeah, I think what are my favorite props of the
week is Mike Williams, or 57 anda half receiving yards.
Okay it's one of my favoriteones On the Miami side, tyreken
waddle the.
The running back is interestingbecause I think most are might
be okay here.
Yeah, yeah, I think so too likeI think he's okay, because I

(57:13):
think Jeff Wilson's out, so thatjust leaves a chain and I'm.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
Wilson is on IR or yeah, so Most are healthy.
A chain and solvent on med.
Both practice full, so a chainsnumber two behind him so I yeah
, I think most are.

Speaker 4 (57:32):
It's interesting.
Might be one the only weeks youcan really use them, but I Like
them.
I like everyone this game.
It's a good game.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
I'm gonna go chargers win this one.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
I got charges too.
I think charge have a good year.
This year I'll go chargers.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
I, justin Herbert has to return, return back to form.
All right, we got some startsin this game and some sits.
We have the Philadelphia Eaglestraveling to play the New
England Patriots.
The total is 45.
Philadelphia is favored by four.
My start of the week.
What is Bill Belichick knownfor?

(58:06):
He's known, and maybe he's noteven known for it anymore, but
usually what he's really good atis taking away your best player
.
We say that's fair.
You not say that's fair is he?
Has he lost his coaching sinceBrady's gone?
I?

Speaker 4 (58:19):
I just don't fear Bella Chick as much as I used to
.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
I always like going number two wide receivers versus
Bella check.
I'm going with Devonta Smith.
I think Devonta Smith has agood game.
Where you got him, you'reyou're playing them right,
probably going in the secondround, but I think Devonta Smith
has a really big game this weekagainst New England.
Yeah, it'll be fun be fun towatch the Eagles and this one
this one shocks me to see thatthis is a sit for you, seth.

(58:43):
It is really shocked me.
So, it probably just hurts you.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
Yeah, it hurts me because I was pretty high on
DeAndre Smith at the beginningof the season.
I had him ranked higher thanwhere he was being drafted.
Hurts so good, it hurts so good, hence the shirt.
I bought the shirt becausehurts won me the championship in
a league.
So the whole running backsituation they're keeping four
running backs on their 53 menroster and I think all these

(59:09):
guys are going to be like closeto a 25% ish thing.
Maybe swift and Penny play morethan the other guys, but I Just
the the.
The snap percentage is thething that hurts.
I think DeAndre Smith can makethe most of when he's playing,

(59:29):
but also you can't guaranteehe's gonna get the ball when
he's playing on the field and Ithink that just hurts.
I think if the only way this isthis sit hurts me, is if he
plays 30% and has a giant run orgiant Like run after the catch
and scores a touchdown like.
I think that's the only way ithurts.
Like there, I don't see any wayhe scores more than 10 points

(59:51):
this week and you have like,yeah, like, I think he scores
five or six.

Speaker 4 (59:55):
So I don't know if you guys saw this.
You guys see how the Eagles attheir depth chart with the
running backs, yeah, by lastname, so it's getting those up.

Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
They put him an alphabet or what.

Speaker 4 (01:00:03):
No, they didn't put alphabetical.
They did put an alphabeticalorder.
Yeah, and it says and it's justone column and it says 10th
game will slash for shot Pennyslash Boston, scott slash John's
very swift.
They're basically allconsidered first team.
They're starter like yeah.
There's no like on the othersomeone.
It says Jalen hurts Marcus.
Mariota Tanner McKee yeah andclearly like separating lines

(01:00:28):
and this one, just all one rowwith those guys all slashed.

Speaker 3 (01:00:31):
Yeah, I wonder if it's like the Eagles are just
planning to like make theirbackfield really unknown, so
teams don't know what to do whencertain guys come in like in.
Sure, that's fine, the Eaglesare really good.
Maybe they want that they'rerunning back culture to be like
really good as like more of ateam investment thing, but for
fantasy just makes it superfrustrating.

(01:00:53):
I don't think Jair Andre Swiftis worth a start this week.
He's a sit for me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
All right, what are we doing on wins here, guys?

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
I'm the Patriots side .
Trent, I'm the only personyou're starting is from Andre,
so I just like that in.
Yeah, I don't think there'sanybody else, I have the Eagles
winning yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:11):
Eagles are gonna, I think, go Poundtown.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
All right, you have Eagles.
Trent, I got Eagles.
Yeah, all right.
Next game we have the LosAngeles Rams traveling to the
Seattle Seahawks.
This Total is 45 and a half.
Seattle is favored by five anda half.
We have some starts in thisgame.
Jordan, you want to go withyour start here first?

Speaker 4 (01:01:35):
Yeah, so I got.
I really, I really really likecamp acres in the spot.
Seattle was a bottom five rundefense last year.
No Cooper Cup.
I think the Rams rely on theirrunning game with the camp acres
.
I know Kyron Williams isbeginning some buzz this camp,
but I still think at the end ofthe day, like Kyron's, probably
the passing game back.
Acres isn't gonna be involvedmuch in the passing game, but I

(01:01:57):
think here's the lead back, Ithink.
I think I know for sure.
I think acres is the goal lineback still, and this is not a
game.
What's, what's the spread here?

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
Trent the spread is Five and a half Seattle.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
So it's not like it's gonna be a blood, it's not.
It's not close If you look atVegas.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
But this could change too, with well, the Cooper
company has already been out, soyeah, I just, I like camp acres
here.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
I know you're not supposed to like dog running
backs on the road, but I, I justI think this is a really good
spot for cam acres.
I like his, his Russian prop.
I think I had this earliertoday at 63 and a half rushing
yards.
Like the over there, I'm just abig acres fan in this spot.
Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:02:42):
I agree that.
I think acres is gonna be aleague winner if you have him on
your team this year.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
I have Tyler Higbee without Cooper Cup.
I think that guy is going totake.
I know a lot of people aresaying Van Jefferson.
I think Higbee could have areally solid game here this week
on the road versus Seattle.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
I want to say I don't think Seattle's the best
against tight ends, but I couldbe just maybe that's it for me
watching games, yeah, andwithout Cooper.
Cup, you know he actually had apretty good season last year.
I know Van Jefferson was hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
Yeah, higbee finished his tight end nine last year,
so I think it's a solid last fewweeks.
Yeah, so I'm excited aboutHigbee.
I think you can plug him in andplay his.
He is actually his.
He's rostered pretty high.
I was thinking like, hey, thiscould even be like a.
Travis like he's 55% rostered.

Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
Yes you go pick up Higbee and real quick, trent.
I just I know we talked aboutTravis Kelsey a long time ago,
but you bring that up made methink of it.
If Travis Kelsey is active, areyou playing him?
I?

Speaker 3 (01:03:42):
Think you have to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
I think you have to.
I don't think he's gonna beactive.
I think on the short, no, Ithink it's training towards he
is active.
Oh, is it training towards that?
His?

Speaker 4 (01:03:52):
brother said on their podcast he's gonna play.
He only has a bone bruise, likeI guess he has a long week to
recover.
They don't have to travel.
It's not he's traveling, I'mjust asking if he's active, are
you playing him?

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yes, because you draft him in the first round.
Okay, if he's playing he wasyour first round draft pick you
have to play him and there'sstill a chance.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
There's a legitimate chance he's a complete decoy
though.
Yeah, that just will put you onsuch tilt.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
You know Thursday night football.
You know if he's your firstround pick and he's just out
there full.

Speaker 4 (01:04:24):
You know Decoy and he and there's good chance he only
plays like I'm like inside of20, which maybe that's okay
because you can maybe still graba touchdown.
But I just want to throw it outthere that it was good thing to
talk about.
Yeah.
I have the, so Jason is playing.
I kind of want to think I wantto stay away from Jason and lock

(01:04:44):
it this week.
Just kind of want to wait andsee there, I think I think
that's kind of safe to say whatit see Jason's role.

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
But man, doesn't that make you so happy that Trent is
like I kind of feel how Jordanfelt when he said Derek Henry
was gonna Not be good last year.
No, I think you can play him.

Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
I actually had a couple good weeks of that.
Yeah, you can play.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
I think you can play Jason and lock it.
The Rams have Hate of their 11projected starters on defense.
Our rookies drafted round sixor later or undrafted free
agents Right.
Yeah, like the only thing Idon't feel maybe comfortable at
is maybe a Seattle running backwith I don't think I'm gonna,
but I think, I think you canplay those wider this is.

(01:05:27):
I'm curious to see the WalkerCharbonnet split yeah this could
be a really good like hey,let's get Jason involved game
with that roster.

Speaker 3 (01:05:35):
I just read.
This game will show you rightoff the bat how the Seahawks
offense is gonna operate.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
I think Alright, are we all going Hawks all the way
across?
Yeah, yeah, alright.
Sunday night football.
I Don't know when this became atradition.
It seems like it has been for along time, like as long as I
remember Cowboys at New York,giants, like.
I feel like the Cowboys andGiants play week one every year.

Speaker 3 (01:05:59):
It's gonna be a really fun game.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
I guess it's just to a two huge markets.
Dallas is favored by three.
You're playing Barkley.
You probably got to play Waller, probably Daniel Jones.
Dallas side.
You're playing Paul.

Speaker 4 (01:06:15):
I don't know.
So you have to play DanielJones.
It just depends.

Speaker 1 (01:06:18):
Yeah, I just think most people who drafted him
probably yeah, if you draft iton, yeah, I haven't.
I don't.
I'm not really like Dallas'sdefense.
From my hearing looks reallygood.
I don't know if I really wantto play anyone outside of
Barkley and Waller.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
Really I think I want to see a little bit more.
I want to see the wider severs.
Yeah it looks like yeah, Ididn't think just Barkley Waller
on the cowboy side.
Your guys CD Paul or deck.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
Yeah, maybe Brandon cooks in a deep, deep, yeah,
deep league.

Speaker 4 (01:06:45):
Maybe like, if you have a cup Cooper cup.
Brandon cooks are good but I do.

Speaker 1 (01:06:49):
I don't.
I'm curious to see what Brandoncooks, what he's rostered on
sleeper.
It's a good amount, I'm sure.
Yeah, it has to be.
He is.
Yeah, 95%.
Yeah, yeah, cowboys, fans,everything.
So what do you want to say hereon this game?
Anything else we really want totouch on?
I Think I'm gonna go.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
I mean, I think it should be an entertaining fun
game.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Yeah, I've Dallas winning.
And remember, we do got a draftcoming up here underdog draft,
and We'll be back, you know,monday morning with our Sunday
night recap.
We'll have a we'll make touchon some waivers, but we're gonna
save those more for Twitter andour email list.
So anyone saying Giants winthis game?

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
I got Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
Seth.

Speaker 4 (01:07:34):
This is in New York, right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
It's in New.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
York, I'll go with Giants.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
All right.
Monday night football.
We have the Buffalo Billstraveling to New York to play
the Jets.
Aaron Rodgers first game inJets helmet we got.
The total is 46 and Buffalo isfavored by two and a half Jets
defense.
I think is the real deal.
Not a great first round game.

(01:07:58):
You know, if you drafted JoshAllen and Stefan digs, you know
I think they're just to putsauce on Digs and stuff like
that.
I don't know if he completelymirrors or follows.
Unfortunately I don't watchdefenses like I used to back in
the day pretty fantasy footballStart your steds.
I don't think we really knowwhat you want to do with the

(01:08:19):
Jets.
Backfield is breeze Hall.
Is he on a pitch count?
What are we doing with that?
I'm not touching that backfield.
Anyone you're playing on theJets besides Garrett.

Speaker 4 (01:08:30):
Wilson.
Okay, Rogers maybe, but justGarrett Wilson for the most part
.

Speaker 3 (01:08:34):
Well, from what I'm seeing right now, he will switch
in the red zone, but outside ofthat I don't think he does.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Right, I'm gonna say bills, win this game.

Speaker 4 (01:08:46):
I got Buffalo to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:49):
Well, he only allowed , he's a stud so only allowed 36
receptions last year and 4 and18 yards.

Speaker 4 (01:08:57):
Seth, what do you?

Speaker 3 (01:08:59):
got how much of the Buffalo is favored by.

Speaker 4 (01:09:03):
No, but who?

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
do you have a?

Speaker 4 (01:09:04):
little Jets.
I some how much are theyfavored oh two and a half
Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (01:09:08):
I'll go Buffalo.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Alrighty guys, today's draft is brought to you
by underdog.
Underdog, where every day canbe draft day, the absolute best
place to mock drafts with bestball kind of late on all that
stuff Honestly interdudes 100.
They'll match up to $100.
Guys go ahead and check thatout, but we're gonna do a little
draft here right now.
Just us three.
A snake draft shouldn't go verylong, and you just invited me,

(01:09:33):

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
Okay, let's, can we?

Speaker 4 (01:10:01):

in 40 seconds.
We will not.

So you four guys, four guys, my bad guys, no, it's
okay, we're learning.

Speaker 1 (01:10:35):
This is our first, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
I thought I didn't do this one.
I thought I did the full slight.

Speaker 3 (01:10:40):
It's okay.
Trent gets back-to-back picksevery time and then I get back
back in the middle and thendrink.
It's so Jordan's kind of splitup here.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah right, set there on the clock.

Speaker 3 (01:10:52):
Patrick.
