Speaker 1 (00:00):
An ass. That's right, doctor Rono, me taking a certain
Arizona Cardinal quarterback and the eighth round was pure genius.
Would you not agree?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Are you giving yourself the self high five?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Correct? I am, yes, sir, Yeah. Week one victory laps
in fantasy always work out, right, doctor Roto, They.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Do, they do. You know, it's so funny. You know,
you prepare for your fantasy draft and then week one
your team goes into the crapper. Yeah, and then you're
ready to throw it all in and then you know what,
week two, everything regulates. So by the time it's like
week four, you know, Jamar Chase, if he goes for
like one hundred and twenty yards and two touchdowns this week,
we'll say, oh yeah, he's got one hundred and sixty
yards and two touchdowns on the season. He's having a
(00:40):
great season. So it's you got to take everything with
a big chunk assault.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
All right, last night, good game, not ex per tactic,
but a good game. Tell me about the sophomore slumps
because we had one here in Houston, Texas last year
with CJ. Stroud. Are you anticipating that for Jane Daniels
this year?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well? I mean, look, you lose Awome to Neckler, that's
a horrible injury. It's a problem. They have a lot
I mean Green Bay Packers defense, this is a good team.
I mean they made the lines look bad, they made
the commanders look bad. So it's this was a tough
one and the Giants defense is actually a very good
pass rush. So I think it's too soon to say
that Daniels is struggling. I think what I saw yesterday
(01:21):
was there are a lot of opportunities for him to
run that he chose not to, And he took a
lot of these short outlet passes versus you know, challenging
the defense a little bit. So hopefully he'll be more
aggressive in the coming weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
All right, now, let's get to this weekend's action again.
The week one overaction is certainly in place, so let's
give us, give us a couple of names. It probably
disappointed you last week that people should not be hitting
the panic bonnet on this point.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
How about every star receiver AJ Brown? How about Jamar Chase,
how about Ti Higgins? Oh yeah, I mean Brian Brian
Thomas Junior had a touchdown, but it was a rushing touchdown.
Who saw that one? Who had that in their bingo card,
Malik Neighbors. So look, if you drafted running backs in
the early you probably loved your games and your teams.
Last week, if you drafted wide receivers, you're hating it.
(02:07):
I think it's switched it all flips this week.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
And the greatest example that would be you're talking about
heavy on the SINSINNI wide receivers.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'm assuming, Oh yeah, I mean that game. I can't
imagine that Chase doesn't score and Chase Brown doesn't score
and Brian Thomas doesn't score. I mean it feels like
a game that should be wide open and high scoring.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
All right, brock perty not playing for the Niners this week,
How does that impact them at New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean, luckily they're at New Orleans, so they still
should be able to win that one. Mac Jones has
played in the NFL before. It's not like he's a
rookie in his first start. I don't think they'll be great,
but mac Jones is a solid backup in this league.
Here's what you do. You throw the ball to Christian McCaffrey,
you throw the ball to Ricky Piersall. I mean, you
don't have Kittle. Juwan Jennings right now is not definite
(02:51):
that he's going, but if he does, I think that'll
certainly help. They should win because they're more talented. But
it's going to be a lot closer than people think.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
If you've got a question for docthor Rono will have
that in segment two of this show seven to one
three two one two five seven ninety seven to one
three two one two five seven ninety for your doctor
roto questions. Uh, I'm going to say you were surprised
that Aaron Rodgers threw for four touchdowns. I think the
entire world was how does he back that up this
week at home? In his debut for the Steelers against
(03:20):
the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I was shocked at that whole game. I mean that
Vegas had that game at like what thirty seven and
a half points or thirty eight and a half points
and exploded to over sixty. The Steelers couldn't stop the run,
The Jets couldn't stop anything. Look, Rogers only threw for
two hundred and forty four yards, but he did have
the four touchdowns. I mean, the Steelers are going to
do what the Steelers like to do. They want to
run the football and Rogers will throw effectively. I think
(03:43):
DK metcalf is fully incentivized to score against his old team.
I would give Rogers maybe like two forty and two
touchdowns this week. I don't think you're winning fantasy leagues
because of him, but you're certainly not going to lose
it either.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Miami's implosion last week was uh, I mean big time
on the NFL. People worried about the future of the
coaching staff. There are they gonna have a rough season?
What were your thoughts going in and have things dramatically
changed after watching them get destroyed by the Colts last week?
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Well, I think I may have mentioned this in one
of the times we've spoken that I think Mike McDaniel
could be the first coach fired. I think Chris Career
could be the first GM fired. I think this week
is it really it's it because they were embarrassed last week.
If you can't play better at home against the Patriots,
you're in big trouble now. I think they're going to
have a better week to do. I think Tyreek Hill
(04:34):
will have a better week. If not, that guy's going
to get traded at some point because he didn't want
to be there. So I think the shock call that
I'm going to give you of the weekend is I
think Miami is going to maybe probably win this game
and hang on a little bit because if they don't
and the Patriots pull this out, McDaniel doesn't make it
to week five? Wow?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Is that just philosophical? Is that just the team isn't
very good? I mean there's gonna you know, Tyreek Hill's
already grumpy and get to me. Issues are off the
field with him as well. I mean, are we sent
in Miami players because of this?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Well, look, I think you're playing a chan You're playing
Tyreek and you're playing Waddle. That's it. I don't think
you can play two in confidence. You looked terrible last week.
I mean they don't even have a tight end to
speak of. They get I mean you got they got
rid of John hus Smith to bring in Darren Waller,
and Waller's not even playing, and their defense looks slow.
I mean this team is just mismanaged and a mess.
(05:27):
But that's the key word there. This team looks slow
out there. The Colts scored on every offensive possession. I mean,
Giant fans have to be wondering was Daniel Jones this
good and they just never realized it? I mean, it
was crazy what happened last week.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Are we surprised about the slow offensive start for the
Lions last week at Green Bay?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
That's a really great question right now. I'm going to
chalk it up to the green Bay Packer defense being exceptional,
But Lions look stale. Jamiir Gibbs had ten catches for
thirty yards. They just their offense wasn't clicking there. Their
offensive line is not what it used to be. So
I am cautious right now. Chicago played well enough to
(06:11):
beat Minnesota. They didn't, but they played well. And if
anybody knows the Lions, it's Ben Johnson. But I think
there should be a week that George Goff at home
could always trust that Amal Ross Saint Brown should have
a big week. So I'm still on the Lions and
still feel that it's the better team, but I'm slightly concerned.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Great friend of the show, Rossfield Reale is not going
to have the Brock Purty led Niners this week. He
went and got Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
As his starting quarterback this week.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
How do you think he will fare at Cincinnati.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is why Ross has gone back to back to back.
This week, Lonati, you know what happened last week, Browns
deserved to win that game. If they had a kicker,
they would have won that game. So what the Browns
did was they dominated time of possession. Liam Cohen is
going to do the same exact thing. So good to
give you a player. First of all, everybody knows what
(07:02):
ETN did Bacial Tuton, Tutn watch this guy. They traded
Tank Bigsby, right, Bigsby's now with the Eagles. Toutin is
the primary backup. Bigsby had twelve touches last week. I
think he has I think he has Bigsby's touches this week,
and I think he does pretty well.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Pooka and Nakua one hundred and thirty yards on ten
catches against the Texans defense. That's a good defense, as
you know. Will he put up similar numbers on that
not necessarily every week, But is this gonna be a
go to guy, especially as they go to Tennessee this week?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yeah, there are people in my industry who think Puka
could end up this year as the number one wide
out in fantasy. And you see why He's just a
target monster. I mean, why doesn't he go eight for
eighty every week? There's no reason. The only problem you
ever have with him is it feels like every time
he goes down, you wonder is this guy getting up?
I mean he gets smashed in the head concussion. You know,
(07:56):
if he played seventeen weeks, guys should have one hundred
and forty four receptions. That's how good he is. Now,
what I love about DeVante Adams is that Adams is
that guy that they really didn't use the cup that
same way last year because he was a slot receiver.
I think you know, third and six, you go to
Adams for seven. I love Kyen Williams this week, Love Kyeren,
(08:17):
Kyen's scoring a touchdown this week, And I love Pooker
this week.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All right, time now for the Rossville Real Obligatory Question
of the Week.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Eow, Okay, some guys that we weren't expecting to perform
well did last week. I want to know if they
can keep it up in your mind. I'm going to
give you three names, Daniel Jones, Javonte Williams, and Quentin Johnson.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
All right, Daniel Jones, I actually like, but not this week.
I think he's in an offense that suited for him,
with a lot of talent around him, with a decent
offensive line and a coach who believes in him. So
I know this is going to sound really random, but
I've got a friend, really, you know, the friend of
a friend story my friends, Like Buddy works at you know,
(08:59):
Mett Life Stadium, so he's like a security guard there.
He can tell you for a fact that Davill hated
Daniel Jones hated him. So I mean, when when you
know that your coach hates your guts, that you're not
gonna play well. Indianapolis brought him in for a reason
because Anthony Richardson is not very good. I think Jones
will suffer this week because you're playing they're playing Denver.
But on the whole, I kind of like him. Gavante
(09:19):
Williams in a good spot, Jayden Blues probably not going
to be activated yet again, pretty good matchup against the Giants.
He's obviously their number one guy. I'm fine with him.
Quentin Johnston, I think that's way more luck than skill.
This is a guy who drops a lot of passes.
I know he caught them last week, but give me
Lad McConkey, give me Keenan Allen. Those are the two
guys I want on the chargers.
An ass. That's right, doctor Rono, me taking a certain
Arizona Cardinal quarterback and the eighth round was pure genius.
Would you not agree?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Are you giving yourself the self high five?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
