Episode Transcript

(00:01):
This week. On jet Set Weekone recap, we talk all things Aaron
Rodgers Achilles blowout and everything in between, and then we're gonna power rank way
too early, top ten teams theNFL. Ready, let's go, let's

(00:22):
go, let's go. Wait,let's go. Hello, every buddy,

(00:50):
Welcome back to jet Set Dynasty Football. Brian Stein and I, as always,
I'm JB. And Week one wasfun. We're going with super fun.
Week one was wild start to finish. I mean even the blowouts were
like surprising. But I mean,obviously we started with the upset Week one,
Thursday night, Lions pull close oneout against the Chiefs. We have

(01:11):
a Steelers blowout, which sucks.We've got a Giant's blow which sucks.
So Jabe's hurting right now. Yeah, that wasn't great for me. It
did good in fantasy this week though, Yeah, very good in fantasy.
So the question is what hurts more, Jabe's fandoms or Aaron Rodgers Achilles.
I don't know. He kind oftook that Achille as like a champ.
He kind of just stood back up. He's like something, n right here,
I'm gonna lay on my back.I couldn't believe he stood up on

(01:32):
it and then he was walking aroundin a boot on it, like I
mean, so I don't think itwas hurting him that much, even though
if that was me, I wouldbe crying. Yes, I would be
in tears. I mean, Ihear that's one of the It was crazy.
I always get mad at like Twitterdoctors would like, oh, this
happens in Boom. It's the worstcases out forever, and I'm sitting It's
like, let's have some hope outhere. Maybe it wasn't that bad.

(01:53):
Maybe he just ruled his ankle orhe just hit it funny and then he
saw the one angle where you couldadd actually see it like you can see
it. You can see Yeah,it's like, oh my god. So
obviously there's a big turf debate goingon the NFLPA really hates that turf.
I don't. I don't know enoughabout it. It seems like turf is
bad. So I'm gonna I'm gonnaroll with turf bad. But I don't

(02:16):
know what you do it. Yougotta be heartbroken as a Jets fan.
I'm heartbroken as a football fan becausethat was the thing I was most excited
about to see how Aaron Rodgers woulddo outside of Green Bay. Following in
Brett Farves, what steps all NFLis thinking? It's like, thank god,
we can flex games now. Ohyeah, that's yeah, there's what
six, there's five, there's fivemore primetime Jets games. Yeah. I

(02:39):
was Zach Wilson at the Helm.I hope they all get flexed out,
every single one of them. Idon't care who they're playing. They had
no business winning that game. No, b was just like, you guys
really want this game. I feelreally bad for you guys, So I'm
gonna give you the ball four times. That's now. Was it their last
two? Oh? No, therewas a game after that, but two

(03:00):
of his last three regular season gamesfor the Bills featured like a catastrophic injury
Samar Hamlin. I guess that's aI don't. I mean, I don't
know what that means or why Isaid it, but I would just thought
about its like, oh man,that's kind of crazy a little bit,
but I yeah, obviously that sucks. It was very up and down overall.

(03:23):
Like I said, you could nothave asked for a more competitive game
for the opener on Thursday. Iwould have liked a few more points maybe,
but maybe a few more receptions byKadarius Tony because he pretty much lost
them that game. But I don'tknow, man, I'm super super Glad's

(03:45):
back as a man who loves CadariusTony. I hate Cadarius Tony. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't knowwhat What do you think is said
in that locker room? Like ifyou're Patrick Mahomes, do you even after
the game? Is it? Isit a so catch the damn ball?
But is it? Hey, I'min your corner, like we'll get you.
You'll you'll get it, right,I trust you? Or is it
has to be I'm never throwing youthe ball again? We have Richie.

(04:09):
Richie James is basically Kadarius Tony justflip flop him out. That's not true.
And you know that you're right.Richie James is better he might be.
But yeah, there was some TheRogers one was really the biggest injury
that in JK Dobbins. I mean, has JAK Dobbins played a full season

(04:29):
ever? I don't think so.I don't think so. And I always
want to root for him. Itseemed he seemed like a really good back
coming out, but out for theyear. It looks like I don't know
what else to say other than thatit sucks. But it just means the
Ravens are gonna be even passing evenmore this year, which they didn't even

(04:49):
really pass that much in that game. I think I think the Lamar her
like under two hundred yards today.He didn't have to have a whole lot
no, I mean we've learned that'sthe game. I didn't pay a whole
lot of attention to hand up toGod, Sorry about that. Yeah,
I mean there wasn't wasn't much towatch in that game, but I don't

(05:13):
know, I'm very much. Wehad so we had really had two big
injuries. Deonta got banged up.Looks like he's not gonna play this week.
Oh you know, really what thewhat the storyline going in was like,
why didn't no tight end play Weekone? You're right, only t
J Hawkettson was the one of thetop elite tight ends like that played this
week. Yeah, and then cowPits kind of played by that. I

(05:36):
mean he got two targets. Again, he was on the field. Technically,
I rather it might be moneyball tightend time this year. You're playing
waiver wire, you're picking them undHenry's. I think we're gonna see a
lot a lot of those guys comeback this week. But we're gonna talk

(05:56):
about top tens. We're gonna talkabout these games in a way that is
not totally born because a lot ofthese were not great games. We're just
glad footballs back though, no plaints, but I'm very scared of the Falcons
pass game. Drake London, KylePitts. Yeah, what I think he
actually got Kyle Pitts. I meanthree targets, So four targets between your
talk two receivers and quotations. Notwhat you want, Josh, not what

(06:21):
what? One hundred yards passing exactly? Now you also now on the other
side that we should have realized this, We should have seen this coming,
that like the number one rushing teamlast year in terms of like rush to
pass ratio, it's probably gonna havetwo fantasy relevant running backs. Oh we

(06:42):
kind of missed that. Yeah,and I did poo poo anyone kind of
still propping up Tyler Algier And I'mstill I still think as the season goes
on, you're just gonna see moreand more carries to Bijon, It's not
ever going to be a full it'sgonna it's never gonna truly be the Bijan
Robins show. There will always beTyler Huntley kind of just like hanging around.

(07:03):
But I do expect it turns toTyler Huntley or uh. It was
like a fifty fifty split this week. I'm expecting my mid season that's gonna
be closer, like seventy thirty,I sixty forty. I think you're right
in the sense that, yeah,it's gonna start shifting. I mean,
Bijon still played. Looking at ithere, sixty three percent of snaps ten

(07:27):
ten attempts fifty sixty yards and thensix or six or twenty seven in that
touchdown, that nasty, nasty itwas the juke. It was like,
I'm just gonna like walk in,well, I'm gonna like press minimize,
like I'm control minus minds, makingmyself smaller, and you sneak through these
two guys and burst him and scorelike a maniac. But I think I

(07:47):
think Algier is going to have arole all season. He's not going to
be a top ten back like hefinished this week, but I think he's
gonna finish as a flexworthy running backevery week, yes, every Okay,
I think he finished the season asa top thirty six back, interesting,
which I feel like is a littleno sorry, top I'll say top thirty
two. I think he's going tofinish better than some. You know,

(08:09):
we've got a couple committees right whereverthe freaking Ravens are gonna do like an
aj Dillon, I wouldn't be surprised, right exactly. I mean get a
help of a week he was runningback for Algier was this week? How
wild is that? And nobody probablystarted him No, I'm sure some people
did. There's still some people backbacking him up. Desperate desperate people,
that's true. Those are kind ofthe big story lines. Te Higgins put

(08:33):
up a goose egg, Bengals lookbad. We'll talk about this all too,
I think, because we're gonna talkabout the Bengals. But those are
the major ones. So let's justjump right into our top ten. Are
way too early, top ten,way too earthly power rankings. This is
gonna be an interesting one because ifwe had done a week zero power rankings,
we probably would have had Chiefs,Bills, Bengals, Niners three of

(09:00):
three of which lost. Yes,uh did I say Eagles? Two?
Eagles sweak out of wind? Sohow much are we putting in these losses
of these top three teams, theChiefs, Bills, Thanks, Are they
knocking you down to the bottom ofthe top ten? Are you still holding
on? Going on to some?But there will not be any winless team

(09:24):
that is in my one or mytwo. I'll leave it at that.
Okay, Well, let's so okay, how do you want to do this?
Do you we want to compare toptens? Yeah, let's compare top
tens. Okay, let's compare toptens. You want to go ten bottom
from top bottom to top. Ishould say, I think we go top
to bottom because the problem going bottomto the top is that by the end

(09:46):
of it, we know it's obviouslythe one is well we all kind of
we would guess it's one of likethree teams. Yeah, but that's why
I'm saying, but you can havea little more surprise at the end.
Fair. Let's let's let's start,all right, So give me your number
one Power ranking week one, waytoo early, number one seat. We
saw him on two on way toohigh definition. This week, I have

(10:07):
forty nine ers and my number oneteam. The defenses continues to be one
of the best defenses in the league. Brock party on in a game he
was not expected to play the entireoffseason. It's like, oh, we
actually had made some progress of Brock, Like he's ready. It's like ready,

(10:28):
Oh, he was carving up andthey still used I. Christian McCaffrey
is a monster of a person,absolute unreal running back. Brian and Brandon
I yuk looking like an absolute phenom, looking like he's getting ready to get
paid. The one hundred yards twotouchdown catches and nasty touchdown catches to boot

(10:52):
and he That team is just sogood man. They still have the best
offensive linemen, not maybe not thewhole core of it, but still have
Trent Williams. Which is as longas you have Trent Williams, I think
you're all right. That team theyjust have to quote our buddy Charlie.
They got guys at every position.Yeah, they really do some of those

(11:13):
positions like running back and like edgerusher and linebacker. They are maybe the
best out in the entire league.Yeah, and we see this. This
is the formula right rookie quarterback contract. I mean Okay, everyone around everybody
else. And that's what they didwith the graphic at the start of the
game. Was highest paid running back, highest paid middle linebacker, highest paid

(11:33):
left tackle, edge rusher, likeand then like, Debo is a top
ten paid wide receiver, which Ithink is a bit of a waste of
money. For being totally honest,I think I think I'm off the Debot
train. I think I might equetoo. I still think he's a good
receiver, but that we're not.We're never getting back to that Debo as

(11:54):
this true hybrid player that is goingto make a lot of like plays and
going to get a lot of Fantasypoints too. Yeah. Now he's just
a pretty solid wide receiver one ona team that doesn't feature the wide receiver
one that he's he's the best ofjuju like he's what. That seems rude
towards Debo, but it's it's kindof true. Like, honestly, I

(12:16):
wish I would have said this beforeWeek one. Now I's gonna score more
points than this year. I wouldn'tbe that a hot take. No,
it's not a hot take. Nowafter Week one, we did in Fantasy
kept saying you shouldn't be taking adebo in the top three rounds and you
took on you pretty close after that. So yeah, I had put the

(12:37):
Niners at my one as well.I I thought one of these like three
or four top teams that we likeknew were gonna be good. I thought
one of them was going to mayberegrets and I kind of secretly hoped and
thought it was going to be theNiners, And I was very wrong.
Tell me how good brock Party lookwell, and that's really what it was.

(12:58):
It was. I thought Brocky wasa flash in the pan. I
was not. I'm maybe hoping,I just I had a gut feeling that
he was a flash in the pan. He looked fantastic. He did this
was not a lot of those throwswere not, oh this is the scheme.
Like he was making accurate throws underpressure. He got sacked three times,

(13:18):
still like he was getting he wasgetting hit, and he still was
making plays staying poison the pocket.I was incredibly impressed by by brock Party
that second touchdown. He brock Partyreally put it in a position that only
he was able to get. Brandonwas able to get it too. I

(13:39):
think the brock Party could start forprobably half of the teams in the NFL
at this point, it wouldn't besurprised. We could go We're not going
to go through them, but yeah, like you can go for Tennessee,
you can do for Atlanta, youcould do it for New England, New
England. I don't even like Carolina. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you
could put you could put him inany of the Brookie You're like, if

(14:00):
they had brock Party, they wouldnot have spend a first round pick on
a quarterback. So yeah, I'mI'm walking it back on brock Party.
He did a hell of a job. He looks like that team is.
I think we should also say ifthey if we put brock Party on the
Eagles or anything like that, orput him on Hell I'd even say Minnesota.

(14:20):
I don't know how much. Idon't know how he's repeating. I
don't think he's repeating his success.No, But like everybody keep last year,
the whole thing was, hey,he is just a he's a benefit
of the Shanahan system. I thinkI'm just saying that. I think,
yes, that is true. That'selevating him to a top ten quarterback in
the league would probably being like middleof the middle of the road, right,

(14:41):
if he outside of if outside ofthe forty nine ers, he was
Kirk Cousins for a career. Ithink that would be pretty accurate and would
would be happy for that for misterirrelevant. So the Steelers just didn't put
up a fight from the start.The only time they look good was prevent
defense two minute no huddle, whicheverybody looks good. I don't know.

(15:05):
I'm not ready to call it quitsbecause everybody hears himploding in Pittsburgh about the
Steelers. But two things. One, we just powering this team as the
best team in the league. Thisteam was going to be fucking good.
The Steelers are had a lot ofhype coming in the season. The preseason
looked great. It's overblown, right, anothers preseason is overblown. I'm not

(15:30):
ready to call him dead yet.I think this is gonna be a good
game against Cleveland. I think wecan win, and it's at home.
It's Monday night. They're not deadyet, but it was not a promising
start after what was a wonderful presume, and they lost two people for two
injuries with Cam Hayward and Deonte Johnson. So it will be some tough slide
in these next couple of weeks.I'm also I'm excited, I've said a

(15:52):
bunch of times now, but I'mexcited to see Kelvin Austin play in a
little bit more of an expanded rolewith Deanty out because you have to assume
that he's probably gonna be the nextgot to slide out to cover that spot
with Alan Robinson staying in the inthe slot. But there does have to
be a point where you kind ofhave to wonder, at what point are
we done With Matt Canada as theoffensive coordinator. It just seems like whatever

(16:15):
he's doing, I saw that it'sthe Steelers depot, who's an awesome like
Steelers beat writer kind of guy.So that they ran like two slant routes
the entire game, like and ninetypercent of n of all offenses. A
slant route is like a staple,your guaranteed ten yards in most cases.
Right, It's like if it's there, it's an easy throwing catch, like

(16:37):
you can potentially break it, butlike it's an easy throw, easy catch.
You get down, Bob's your uncleand there. I guess they said
that there was like no slant routesrun, not not thrown to run all
game. So I don't know what'sgoing on that offense. I hope he
gets right. But Niner showed thatthey were they were a quarterback away from
winning a Super Bowl last year.He still did that on this Steelers defense.

(17:00):
Still a top defense, still agood defense. Defense. The middle
linebackers are still a problem, butit's still a very good defense. Yeah,
Niners. I honestly think that abrock Prid doesn't get hurt in that
NFC Championship game, that they probablybeat the Eagles and then probably win the
Super Bowl. Sounds like a goodtime to transition talking about a closer game,

(17:22):
and I was expecting number two.I got the Eagles. Oh yeah.
The Eagles was an interesting one,just because they came out hot.
They were up sixteen nothing I thinkat one point, and then I took
their foot off the gas. Yeahyeah, and kind of chilled off and
that was in. It was inNew England, I think, wasn't it
it was? Because it was itwas a Tom Brady return game. Mac

(17:45):
Jones sneaky three three hyard games.J be pointing out on Jet Bets the
Gaming podcast. But I don't.Yeah, I mean, being the only
other team in the top five thatreally won, it's kind of I can't
blame you for not for putting themany lower than this. Yeah, I
just again, it's still an allaround good team. All their weakness,

(18:07):
all the things they lost, theyreplenished. They lose Javon Hargrave and then
they take Jalen Carter in the firstround to to basically replace that. The
offensive line is still intact, theystill have their top two receivers. They're
kind of figuring out with running back, but that's kind of always been the
Eagles forte is just to figure outplay their hot hand, figure it out
at running back. They still theirtop quarters back. The whole team is

(18:30):
still top to bottom, so good. And I still think it was an
impressive win because I still think thePatriots maybe played a little bit above their
skis towards the end there, especially. Yeah, but I'm still a big
fan of the Eagles this year.I still think that is them. The
forty nine ers should be back inthe NFC Championship game, barring anything crazy.

(18:56):
Yeah, that's it. Should thatshould be it. It seems like
they're there. Came the crop.I will say the NFC for how much
it kind of gets crapped on forthe AFC being much more powerful. I'm
seeing my top ten written out here, and I think the top three defenses
on this list the forty nine Ers, Eagles, and spoiler alert for later,
the Cowboys all in the NFC.If you want to win that Super

(19:19):
Bowl, you gotta play a hellof a defense. And probably, yeah,
there's a lot of good defense inthe NFC, for sure, a
lot of good offense in the AFC. I think, yeah, probably the
way the balance lies. One thingI want to touch on the Eagles.
So first of all, they're threeon my power ranking right now. The
Underswift had like no impact ken onecarry and two targets. I believe Kenny

(19:41):
g Kenny Gainwell was had like sixtyone percent snap share fourteen carries. Yeah,
we wasn't bad with those fourteen carries. Also, Rashad Penny was a
healthy scratch. That was hilarious tome. I mean lol, They're like,
yeah, well we'll throw in.Would they address those Boston Scott?
Yeah? Did they still a sermonon that team? No? They cut

(20:03):
sermon. He's practice squad. Ithink, Okay, Yeah, but yeah,
they put Boston Scott on instead ofRichard Penny. I think, I
think because Boston Scott is more ofa special teams guy. He's also he's
one of those guys if you're likea long tenured Eagles player, like they
will take care of you. It'salso kind of been there for a couple
of years. It's kind of weirdtoo, because like Boston, both Boston
Scott and Kenny Gamewall are like verynot big running backs and the other turns

(20:30):
on normal size but he's still onlylike five nine, I think. But
there's not a really big back besidesPenny in this room and yeah, in
that backfield. But yeah, thatwas surprising. So let's before we move
off the Eagles. Do you seethat kind of returning more to level or
do you think that Kenny Gamewall isgoing to kind of be more featured in
this offense more than we thought cominginto the year. I think both are

(20:52):
true. I think Kenny game wasprobably gonna be featured more than we anticipated,
but I think we still I stillbelieve at least that that angelin is
gonna go towards DeAndre Swift at somepoint this year. It's going to get
back because I do think he isthe most talented back in that in that
room, So I think, I'mwater has to come to the level eventually
where I think he's going to bethe primary back in there. So I

(21:15):
could be wrong. So what I'mhearing is DeAndre Swift slightly underperforms his ADP
and Kenny g vastly overperformances. Yes, absolutely, I would agree with that.
Yeah. So, like I said, I have Eagles at three,
which leaves my second spot to theChiefs. Yeah, minds the Chiefs at
three. I just that game wasone point away, a really good Lions

(21:38):
team missing Kelsey. Drops for days, literal days, so many drops that
it was rain drops. It wasjust Clary Sonny was terrible. There were
other drops from what's his face line? Somebody else drop, there were drops

(21:59):
everywhere that it was a poor performanceWeek one. You very much miss Kelsey.
Should get Kelsey back this week.Same with Chris Jones. Oh,
Chris Jon's gonna come back this week. Yeah, he signed a one year
deal. Okayms that okay, Soyeah, so your team's coming back in
the full force. Yeah, youcan't. Let's not pick you lost two
of your top three players and stilltook a Lions team. I'm sure we're

(22:22):
both going to talk about here today. Yeah, by you lost by one
point, like I still think you'reI think that says more about I still
think that win is more about theLions, and I think that the Lions
are going to be really good thisyear. Yeah, they're gonna be competitive
again. The Chief's only losing byone down two of their top three.
I still consider that pretty impressive.I agree. Yeah, I was very

(22:44):
happy Darius Tony trying to get thatgame away and how I did. Sky
Moore was the guy I was thinkingof that had the drop at the end.
Happy to see Rashi Rice get atouchdown. It was funny that so
she had a touchdown. Was anotherrookie that had a touchdown? Was a
Laporta some of Laporta, No,not Laporto. There was Muscar get a

(23:06):
touchdown. No, I can't remember, not in that game. No,
But my point being, there wastwo two rookies that scored in that game,
and neither of them were was JamiorGibbs. I can't remember who the
one was rash And I can't remembereither it had been Laporta. I don't
know somebody else, but yeah,my brother is now a big Rashi Rice

(23:26):
fan because he's openly like there,it's like the Chiefs can't be good with
the receivers they have. And thenRashi Rights got touched and I'm like,
look at this guy. Look atthis guy like he's not bad. Yeah,
I mean, especially if Kari Sonnymaybe finds himself in the doghouse,
he might get even even called himjuju role. I was like, oh
my god, yeah, well that'swhat I said when he got drafted there

(23:48):
like it could be a little betterversion of the Juju role. I'm like,
he's me. I'm turning my brotherinto me. Yeah, Spider Man
mean exactly. Okay, so youhad Chiefs at three, I have Eagles
at three. Who's your four?Maybe the highest scoring team of the week,
maybe the most impressive team, theMiami Dolphins. I feel like that's
a big jump this week. Idon't know, man, the Dolphins,

(24:11):
they're looking at electric and they stilldon't have Jalen Ramsey. When I think
they get Jalen Ramsey back, Ithink that defense is going to just turn
into a crazy defense because I thinkthat pass rushes outstanding they still have Xavien
Howard, they have young guys atsafety, but it's all about two a
time, baby and Tyreek. Itshould be more about Tyreek. But Tyreek

(24:33):
is the most unguardable player I've everseen him out life. I mean,
Randy Moss is the closest. Andit's like, yeah, it's hard.
It's like it's those two and Iconsider like Gronk up there and kind of
with Calvin Johnson, but it's just, yeah, those guys who could guard,
but they're going to get through yourguards that you will be Moss.
It will just yeah, it willjust be like you can't touch Tyreek Hill.

(24:56):
Like Tyreek Hill is truly the fastestplayer I've ever seen in pads.
And again, not only he's afast guy playing football, he's a football
player. Yeah that's right. Speed. Yeah. I want to put the
Jags here, but I can't.The Dolphins just played a better team,
played a better all around. Withthe Jags Bill Dolphins, we would have
had an actual fist fight. Youwould have just been hurt. You would

(25:18):
just heard skin flap. The onething that I will say that scares me.
Obviously, the Chargers have a verygood offense. That Dolphins defense is
not good. There's some good nameson on paper. You've got Kyle Phillips,
You've got Chubb, You've got isthe Kyle Phillips, Yeah, fifteen
the defensive end. The other onthe other I think it's Kyle Phillips,
I know it's Phillips. I can'tremember the first name. I think Cowphlips

(25:41):
is the watch from the Titans.But regardless, there's there's good names on
that defense. They're missing Gian Ramseyobviously. But when it comes to a
ranking, I know the Jags defenseis not much better, but it felt
like that they were gonna that theywere a little bit better than the Dolphins
tea. I disagree with that heartedly. But overall, the Dolphins offense looks
like it's going to be really hardto stop this year. As long stop

(26:02):
me. You've heard this before.As long as two uh stays healthy.
Yeah, I mean that's how justkind of how it goes. But even
with that defense, you didn't mentionChristian Wilkins, you didn't mention Jerome Baker,
didn't mention javonn Holland. This defenseis significantly better than the Jags.
They still allowed how many points lastweek. I mean, I know it's
a good offense, but I'm I'mat exactly if your defense is that good,

(26:29):
there shouldn't be a shootout ever.I just I'm not saying they're one
of the top, like with theseNFC teams, but I'm saying they're significantly
better than the Jets or Jets thanthe Jags. Yes, Jack in the
Jags, they definitely have wait morenames than the Jags. Will give you
that. I'll give you that.That seems like a backhanded compliment. There's
more names. Shut up, Yeah, a little bit, but I stepping
said, still putting Dolfins before hYou just you can't, you can't fight

(26:53):
it. Now here comes the realquestion. Do you put the Jags here?
Do you stop this side? Forthe Bills of Bengals? How bad
are these two losses for those toptwo AFC teams. I'm not mentioning either
of any of those three. Wow, we're talking defense, bro, We're

(27:15):
talking to them boys. That boysdefense actually legitimately concerns me. That is
a unbelievable defense they have. Likescheming there. Micah Parsons looks like he's
possibly going to be Defensive Player ofthe Year. I think Stefan Gilmour has
just turned that. I think Stefanit's turning that secondary and do crazy.

(27:36):
I think dig is just getting betterand better and better. They stop good,
they stuff good linebackers. They stillhave DeMarcus Lawrence. I think this
is a hell of a defense man. I think this defense is gonna be
giving teams fits. I just don't. I'm not totally buying in that team
scored forty points when Dak only throughone hundred yards because of differen seventy seven

(28:00):
yards and because it was raining.And I think that's what scares me is
it was raining. Oh my god, it was raining. So it was
in the Eagles game. Yeah,but the Eagles actually looked good all around.
This was a rainy mess of agame. I think it was a
divisional matchup, which is always tough. Sometimes you get these blowouts. But

(28:22):
I I'm not ready to crown.I'm not crowning. I'm not crowning anybody.
I'm saying that defense is going tobe a problem for teams. I
think I'm gonna have my I'm gonnahave the Cowboys at seven fair. I
looking at who I still have.I I want to see the offense work.

(28:44):
I want to Tony Polter still twotouchdowns? I think you two touchdowns?
Ceedee Lamb looked good. But Iwant to see a real football game,
not mud and turf and whatever thehell it was in the rain.
I want to see it real.I think that I think you're writing the
defense is is the bright spot onthat team. I think the offense still

(29:06):
has a lot to prove to me, but that defense made it look good.
It'll be interesting. They play theRaiders this week. The Cowboys,
I think so No, that's Ithink Bill's play Cowboys. Right, Bills
play Bill's play Raiders. Why arewe so bad at this? Cowboys play
Jets? I think Cowboys played Jets. I knew it was a big spread,

(29:26):
so this may not be a greattest, but I'm gonna I'm reserving
the top five spot for the Cowboys, intel for their notice, not putting
them in there just yet. I'mgonna put the Jags here though, at
five. The Jags interesting. Imean, I want to sit here and

(29:48):
go, oh, these oh andone starts for the Bills and Bengals don't
mean that much. But both ofthose teams looked atrocious. Jacks fought in
a tough game. Anthony Richindon lookspretty good against the Colts or with Colts
until he threw that bad interception andgot hurt at the end of the game.
But the Jacks fought, they stayedwith it. Calvin Ridley looked good,
Christian Kirk looked good. That Kirkcaught one pass and it was a

(30:11):
touchdown. No it wasn't. Itwas No, it wasn't. It definitely
wasn't touch I have Christian Kirk andso many leagues where you got me one
point. What are we talking about. Somebody's score is Calvin Ridley and Zay
Jones was the other one. That'swhat I was thinking of Zay Jones.
You're right, You're right. Iapologize, But point being weapons everywhere offense,
all over the offense. You hadTank, big, bigspe of a

(30:34):
touchdown, he did fumble, notgreat at ten, looked very gay month
He looked like the prince that waspromised three years ago. I think that
I think this offense is going tobe phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. I think
this is the Trevor Lawrence breakout yere. This is a top five team.
Defense needs to work, but I'mbuying it. On the Jacks offense,

(30:56):
Lawrence is still Lawrence is still kindof making a couple decisions where I'm like,
I don't know what he's doing there. He's still kind of having some
bone headed plays, but he's stilljust making immaculate plays to go to bat
with it. He's just so atleast not turning it over like some quarterbacks.
Yeah, Josh Allen, I'm stillof putting Bills on this next list

(31:18):
or on this next pick. Yeah, I'm not either. Who are you
putting here? I got the Bengalsme too. It's so I have Bengals
and Bills so close together and thefact that they lost and kind of put
some together. But like, whatcan I blame more Burrow who's probably not
totally healthy and that offense is veryreliant on him, or Josh Allen who's
just is healthy but throwing literally throwinggames away. Yeah, yeah he was.

(31:44):
I'm like, I'm gonna go withI expect Burrow to get healthier throughout
the season and that team to getbetter as I don't know if Josh Allen
is going to continue to cut downon interceptions into fumbles. Yeah, for
me, the combination of For whateverreason, Burrow has never won a game
in Cleveland. This is his firstgame back after being out in the entire

(32:06):
training camp, so of course he'sgoing to be rusty. Of course he's
not going to have the camaraderie andthe chemistry and all that shit with his
receivers. I think that this willbe a very quick bounce back. They
may they've got the Ravens this weekand a tough matchup, but they are
at home. I think that theywill still just they will get right.
I don't. I didn't watch muchof that game. Did he seem like

(32:30):
he was impacted by by the calfinjury. Still, I didn't watch much
of it, if I'm being on, Okay, I didn't got red zone
yea, I didn't have red zoneon at the bar I was at,
so I didn't get to watch muchof it. But yeah, I think
this is they last week, oneof the Steelers last year. It's just
this is what they do. Theystart slow, they build up. They're

(32:50):
still going to be a good team. Even though the Higgins got an offer.
I saw a thing on TikTok today. I hate TikTok about I just
can't get off of it. Thatthere's a league that as a rule that
if you start a player that getszero points, you have to do you
have to smear it off ice yourself. You get on the one day and
chug it's and send it like itlike it's a fun rule. It's like
it's silly, but I like it. Yeah, it's like it's it's painless.

(33:14):
Drink your two percent alcohol drink andchug it. I imagine someone has
to like go to the store andsee if they can buy that that's basically
a lucy Yes. I feel likeyou can. You can build your own
six packets. Okay, I'm gonnabuild a six pack with like IPAs and
staus and one smearing off ice.Ya. I gotta do it. I
gotta take care of this one.Don't ask. It's from my cat.

(33:34):
So do you have the bills atseven? I have the bills at seven?
Yes, yeah, so do I. I still think they're gonna be
a good team, but we kindof I think this is starting to become
the trend where sorry, I havebuild any because I cat was a seven.
I'm sorry, Okay, I putthe copy at one. We're gonna
just be seeing a lot of upand down from the from the Bills.
I think we kind of expected thatit was kind of like going up and

(33:55):
down in like a positive trajectory whereyou thought it was a very eventually gonna
max out. Yeah, I'm startingto think this is just gonna be a
normal wayflak. But we're getting getsa couple of high games, and we're
gonna get see some games like lastnight where Josh Allen is doing some dumb
shit with the football. Yeah.I think that it's definitely something because they
talk about in the off season somuch. Even Josh Allen talks about it

(34:16):
like I need to cut down onturnovers. I need to cut down on
turnovers. I need to stop playinghero ball. And then he comes out
there and it's just it's in hisDNA. He can't help it. Yeah,
and there's part of me that lovesthat. You know, he's hurling
over guys for five yard runs,Like I love a quarterback that plays like
that. But it giveth and ittaketh, and it tookth a lot this

(34:38):
week, and he made some reallyquestionable throws. And I think what bothered
me the most about it was hedidn't need to. They had that game.
They had to lead the entire game, but they have no running back
to run clock. You're right,they have no running back to run clocks.
Still, but you still you couldhave played my savers three turnovers,

(35:00):
right, yeah, and the fumble. You just if you are if you
want to be the MVP the league, if you want to go to a
super Bowl, if you want towin a super Bowl, you have to
be able to be smarter with thefootball than that. Because you've got the
weapons, force it when you needto force it, make your mahomes plays

(35:21):
when you need to make your mahomesplays. But when you're up by two
scores with a backup quarterback, you'vegot to play smarter than that. So
I will say, if we're notdoing this every week, but if we
were to re rank every single week, the Bills will jump quickly. Yes,
if they if they look back toform against the Raiders this week,

(35:45):
I'm gonna be like, Okay,maybe this was a fluke week one.
Let's not pay it, let's notoverreact. But this is obviously the biggest
follower of the week. They weretop three or four team and now we're
talking about them at seven and eight. So I'll save you some breath.
I have Jaguars and eight here,So we kind of talked about that already.
I kind of figured that's where you'reyou were lying. I'm gonna project

(36:07):
that the Jaguars were going to stayaround. They're probably bottom five to ten,
probably never really leaving that area.Yeah, I mean, I think
the Jags are I know it's oneweek, but it feels like they're pretty
locked in for this division. Ijust don't see anybody competing with them.
The Titans. Titans looked terrible thisweek. Not terrible, but they look

(36:29):
not terrible. But Ryan tann sorry, let's say this way, Ryan Tannehill
looked terrible. They put up sixteenpoints. I think it was just it
was a very poor outing, whichis not unexpected. But so, who
do you have a nine? Idon't know, I had three. It
was really hard to decide between thesethree. Yeah. So yeah, So

(36:51):
I think that the three we haveleft here are Ravens, Lions, packers.
I have chargers on here, Ohchargers. Should I have forgot somebody?
Yeah, I've charges at nine.Okay, you've charged it nine.
Interesting they still put up forty pointswith that offense. I still the defense
is still kind of questionable to me, because, first off, let's just

(37:13):
talk about this. Jac Jackson mightgo down is one of the worst high
paid defensive signing domas play he madeat the end of that game. He
is he has not been living upto that contract, So that secondary he's
definitely gonna take a hit with betweenhim and I'm forgetting the junior who's across
from him, Asante, thank you, Asante, Samuel Jr. They still

(37:36):
have Derwin James, and as longas they have him and Joey Bosa and
Khalil Mack, they'll be fine.But that secondary is really going to be
hindered this season. I think unlessjac Jackson kind of take steps that I'm
not expecting him to take at thispoint. Yeah, he definitely needs to
recover to really solidify that secondary.Luckily, like you said, Derwin James,
I think it's kind of the minkof his Patrick glue to that that

(37:58):
team You've got Nick Bosa or JoeyBosa, so there are still players to
be playing on the defense. I'mjust I'm so scared of Brandon Staley.
I don't even know if I putthe Chargers in the top, I don't
understand how he hasn't been knned yet. I really don't no sense to me.
They've got all the talent in theworld and they consistently fall short,
so they're they're not on my topten. I don't think because I've got

(38:22):
the Lions here at nine, Ihave the lines at ten. The Lins
deserve to be higher than ten becausethey beat Patrick Mahomes. You. First
of all, this is not hotto take because everybody keep saying it.
They said it for that game,and then they said it for I forget
what other game it was. Uh, they called it the National legle.
This is a win with an asterisk. Get the fuck out of here with

(38:43):
that? That pisses me on Arethe Chiefs the first team to ever have
an injury? Like? Did weturn injuries off and tell the Chiefs decided
to play? Like, get thefuck out of here with that? Yes,
they were down two of their bestplayers, doesn't matter, Like,
doesn't matter. You got Lions gotit work from all of their rookies.
I saw Jack Campbell making play,making plays, the same the safety Brian

(39:07):
Burns or to pick six we stillhad. I was unbelievably pleasantly surprised with
Jamir gets rushing performance that way,I'm like, this dude is running.
He was. He looked great outsideof the box, like he looks really
good and on the edges and outin space where he's going to be Because

(39:28):
David Montgomery, why the hell wouldyou run? Jim gives up the middle
of if you have Dave Montgomery,I agree, that is a bowling ball
of a human being. Lines forme here at nine. Obviously you can't
put him ahead of like the Billsor the Cowboys or the Bengals, but
like I'm symbolically putting them at ninebecause of just when you beat them.

(39:49):
And two it was such a funwin, yes, like it was a
It was a literal team win.Everybody contributed, just like you said,
young kid Vets other than the onlythe only guy that didn't contribute was Marvin
Jones because he made a thousand drops. He was terrible in that game.
But I must had to start himin the league in Fantasy I rebuilt in

(40:10):
a rebuilding. I saw him ona waiver wire in a Dynasty league and
I was like, Oh, I'mgonna pick him up, and then I
was like, oh, never mind, he was so bad. It's like
he's gonna be he's starting until JamisonWilliams gets back. Basically, well,
it might be Josh Reynolds at thispoint. Well, I was gonna say
yeah, the way that he didnot play well. I am also pleasantly
surprised about Sam Laporta sound port Hewas very big role in that offense early

(40:35):
and I kind of I'll I hateto say it, man, we can't
buy into the trap, but everyrookie tight end aside from Michael Mayer,
looked fantastic in week one. Yeah, you're right. The King Kaide,
who didn't get a whole lot ofsnaps, still made catches and still it
was like getting snaps with us knocksand tude tight end set. He was

(40:57):
a factor. Still, Musgrave lookedgood for the Packers, just like you
said, Laporta, Laporta, itwas. It's so fun to wash these
because like, first of all,how many tight ends were taken in the
first two rounds, and then therewas a lot of these guys getting hype
throughout camp. Even Darnald Washington playedgood, not from a fantasy perspective,
but he was making he had somebig blocks. They had him out on

(41:21):
kick returning and kick return look goodfor the Steelers, and there was some
key blocks he made on those bigkick returns. But all these young tight
ends are it's exciting. There maybe a new wave of tight ends,
and especially I think there might be. And it's funny because the Packers and
the Lions receiving corpses are kind ofbuilt similarly. Obviously, a Monro is
much more of an alpha than anybodyon the Packers, but it's set up

(41:45):
in that way where there's still roomfor fantasy viable tight ends in both of
those offenses. And that may betwo rookies. I'm very excited for this
for this rock class. They justneed to start. And Michael Mayer involved
a little bit of that offense.But yeah, we'll see. Yeah,
yeah, that's a slow burn talkingabout the Packers here. Since you have

(42:08):
the lines of ten, Packers aren'tmy ten, but you put the Packers
in ten. I that's I likedwhat I saw from the Packers, but
I was not ready to put hima tent on the top ten. Chargers
are at eleven, the Ravens abovethe Ravens. Ravens just lost JK.
Dobbins. They Ravens were the onethat just missed the cut. For me,

(42:28):
Lamar through for one hundred and seventyyards, zero touchdowns. One interception
was that the passing performance that wewere promised, I know you didn't need
it. I know it was theTexans. It's the passing performance we expected,
well, yes, but not good, not good, and against the
Texans who not good, not good. So they're staying out of top ten.

(42:50):
For me, Chargers are staying outof top ten even though they look
great that relistically they should be.You gotta do the old sports talk like
point to you if they played ona neutral site, who's winning that game?
Chargers or Packers? Come on,I think, come on, you're
lying to yourself. I am,you're lying to yourself. Noticed that I

(43:12):
have lines of power ranked higher thanthe Packers, So I still think the
lines are gonna win the division.But Jordan Love looked way pressive, way
better. We saw a little snippetsof him over the past two or three
years and in this preseason, andthere looked very good. Well, the
preseason looked good. But like himcoming into the spot starts this first couple
of years, every time he cameout, I'm like, I don't know

(43:32):
if this guy's it, Poal,I don't think this guy has it.
Whatever happened this year, whether becausehe knew he was the guy or because
rogership was gone, whatever it was, he took he took control of this
team even without his number one receiver. Was this That's exactly where I was
going next, is that he wasthrowing darts dimes everywhere. Christian Watson,
who was his number one receiver.Who's really Let's be honest, it's probably

(43:53):
a wide receiver two right, thisis it's a hodgepodge at the at the
wide receiver position. You got twogood running backs. It's like a hodgepodge.
But it's not a bad hodgepodge.No. It liked what I saw
from Jane Reid. I really likedwhat I saw from Luke Musgrave. Romeo
dogs became Romo. It was justRomeo Dobbs again. Yeah, he's not
a bad receiver. He's not.He's not a great receiver. Who has

(44:14):
a better wide receiver room? Chiefsor Packers? Packers? Interesting, I
agree, but we're just talking receivers. Wide receiver room, Yeah, easily
Packers and it's Yes, it's agood hodgepodge. So I'm putting my ten
as my team that I am keepingan eye on that I think is actually

(44:35):
might be good. That is thatwe were not sure we're gonna be good.
So I'm giving them the honor aten. So let's let's play this
game. Somebody who you think isnot on this list or maybe not even
close to this top ten, thatby like mid season, you think they'll
be back, That is a toughquestion. I I think I can see

(45:05):
the Seahawks getting back here. I'ma little bit concerned with without their tackles.
I'm a little concerned what goes onthere. Yeah, it's hard for
me to count out. Like theMinnesota Vikings, that offense is just that
offense with Jordan Addison came in seamlesslyat times, Addison and Hawkinson, and
yet that's an insane receiving corps.Although that running game did not look good.

(45:30):
Folks. Someone called Kareem Hunt.Yeah, please, I can't believe
he's not on begging. It's Wednesday, we're recording on Wednesday. He's still
not signed yet. I'm very confused. Uh, Commanders is a team that
I think maybe could have a bitof a rise. They you know it
was a twenty to sixteen victory againstthe lowly Cardinals. There's some improvements that

(45:50):
need to be made. But ifonce that defense gets healthy, you get
Chase Young back, maybe they canstart making a push for somewhere up here.
I don't see the Broncos making apush. The Rams blew out.
I was gonna bring out. Iwas gonna bring up the Rams. Matthew
Stafford looked incredible. Puka nkoa,dude. I was pleasantly surprised. It

(46:13):
was just like I was watching it, but I was watching on the side
game on red zone, and Ijust kept seeing he was seventeen, right,
I think so yeah. I justkept saying seventeen. I was like,
is that poucha? He's catching alot of balls, and I see
like seven catches, eight catches notI'm like, what him and two two
at well combined for like two hundredand twenty five yards save both clips one

(46:37):
hundred yards? I'm pretty sure.Yeah. I mean, that was an
impressive game from Stafford because of noone, no one there. He basically
my homestead. It was he wastalking about. He was talking about I
can't relate to my teammates anymore.On the old guy and he's slinging it
to the young guy. Yeah,he just he can gritty his weight.
I don't know who sexy Red is, but I'm chucking into this dude listening

(46:59):
to and I don't know who thatis either. Now you're probably uh yeah,
the rams, I don't. Let'sthe one thing I do want to
talk about the Rams is Karen Williamsout snapping cam Akers. Did he out
snap him? I don't know ifhe outsnapped him, but because he still
had the worst workload, I you'reright, he had more fantasy points though
he was more more productive unless carries. Yeah, but ye, Cam had

(47:22):
what twenty two carries for like twentynine yards something disgusting, which I feel
like it's such a cam whatever,it's a cam Akers stat line if I've
ever seen one. I feel likehe's he's good for a couple of those
a year where it's like where hegoes twenty two for twenty five yards,
like and then he goes twenty twofor one hundred and five right exactly,
Like he's just he's the epitome ofinconsistency. What about what about your giants?

(47:47):
We would have never had them sniffa top ten, but after that
performance, you probably have them inthe bottom ten for SUREM ten. I
still top of the bottom ten,but maybe bottom of the bottom ten,
you know what I mean. Istill, I still think that the Giants
can get out of it. They'regonna have a nice get right game against
Arizona this week. Yeah, buttrap game. I don't know. I

(48:10):
don't know, man, this I'mconcerned about the offensive line. I'm hoping
that a jail's more because they stillhave a rookie center and Nevin Neil did
not play great. I was reallyhoping he was going to take a step,
but it is one game against henThey targeted him and targeted him with
Michael Parsons. They're just like,all right, you're gonna go against the

(48:30):
worst of the two options. You'regonna make his life hell and did.
Yeah, Ran didn't help. I'mhoping this game kind of gets them back.
But even the Giants at they're best, I think are probably sniffing closer
to like that thirteen twelve eleven,closer than the time. Yeah, they're
still but I think they can makethat push right now. One bad week

(48:50):
one does not make a bad team, No, so I think they're gonna
bounce back. Let's talk about somethe games we haven't really talked about Saints
Titans. That games stunk, Likesixteen fifteen Tannehill through three interceptions. Derek
Carr only threw one touchdown, butdid have three hundred yards for one twelve.

(49:14):
I love. It looks so nice, man, I can't believe it.
I mean don't, no, Ican, But Derrick Henry fifteen for
sixty three yards is not great.Spears was getting. He got more snaps
total, Yeah, more total snaps, but only had three carries for twenty
seven yards. He got a lotof receiving work. He got one for
one. Oh really, I thoughtyou. I think he had more snaps,

(49:36):
but yeah, yeah, very It'sso weird, be like, oh,
he had more snaps, but didthey didn't. I wonder if there's
something lingering with Derrick Henry injury wise, and man's why maybe or they're just
like, hey, we're gonna giveyou a lot of carries this season,
Derek, Let's maybe start you outa little slow. Let's look at I'm
looking at the rest of the Saintsteam here, like, so Derek Car

(49:57):
through three hundred yards one touchdown,one pick. Jamal Williams pretty much ran
that backfield eighteen forty five. Nota great that's two point five average,
not great. Talked about a laveRasheed Shahid. Rashee Shahid is actually kind
of good, Like he might bea good second five for eighty nine and
he had the touchdown Michael Thomas fivefor sixty one. Not bad from another

(50:22):
guy that's really disappeared for the lastthree years. So maybe he comes back
around. But yeah, this gamewas just boring. I mean, fifteen
to sixteen, it was just itwas a slog. It was just a
slog, all right. We talkedabout the Jacks game, but I was
very impressed and surprised with the waythat Anthony Richardson was composed all the way.

(50:45):
He played a much better game thananticipated. He Yeah, he played
better all around until like the lastdrive he threw the interception and he get
hurt, got hurt. But Imean he he looked in control of that
offense. I'm pulling up a statline now. He was twenty four of
thirty seven for two twenty three,one touchdown, one pick, led the

(51:07):
team in rushing ten carries forty yardsin a tutter sucks that are boy even
holes on the I R already onecarry for one yard in his rookie season,
and he's a a. We're stillrolling with Deon Jackson for a couple
of weeks. He looked bad.Thirteen carries for fourteen can makers line?

(51:30):
Uh, Jake Funk they why they'rewhy they're not gonna call a running back
either. I don't know. Pittmanwas a surprise though, eight for ninety
seven and a touchdown. They mightjust be targeting Pittman the whole time because
Alec Pierce looks like a nothing atthis point. I'm getting real. Yeah,

(51:51):
I'm hashtag worried about Alex Piers.I'm ready to sell my shares at
this point. One one catch,five yards. Evan Hole had one catch
for sixty d Jake Funk had onefor twelve. Dione had five for fourteen.
I mean, Josh downs at threefor thirty, like there's those aren't
big, big numbers. But onefor five is bad not good? Yeah,

(52:14):
definitely on My flag is up therefor sure. People keep calling me,
uh, let's see who else that'spretty much touched on every other game,
So I don't know. Bears lastone I want to talk about hashtag
worried about Bears. I'm not worried. This is what we said about the

(52:35):
Bears. Though we didn't expect themto win a whole lot of games,
but we expected them to do betterthan last year, which was what like
three or four wins. We expectedthat to get to the closer like four
to seven. Yeah, you're right, and they still played a really good
team. It is a division matchup. I'm not worried. I just need
those couple of steps to, like, so I'm not ready to like sell

(52:57):
my Bears stock immediately because I'm tryingto give them way to like make some
things happen. Yeah, I agree, Yeah, they're still growing pains to
be had, but I don't knowwhat to do here. I'm I'm scared
of DJ Moore. I don't haveany Dj more scary shares. I'm still
a little nervous about him. Idon't think he's gonna produce more than a
watercy for two this season. Ijust I don't know if Justin feels is

(53:22):
quite ready, if he's gonna makethat step. So time will tell.
Because that was I mean that Packersteam is still a very good team.
So who do they have this week? Commanders who Packers, No Bears,
Bears US Buccaneers. That's another three. I'm getting my three point spreads mixed
up. But yeah, Buccaneers wehave didn't talk about surprise they Yeah,

(53:46):
Baker looked pretty good. Mate,that team for fantasy might not be as
doomed as I thought it was gonnabe. Yeah, I mean, I'm
not ready to say that yet becauseI'm ready for we all know happens.
Baker has a game where we're like, man, look at Baker and then
he flops it away. Yeah,this is It's why I kind of like
the Bears this week going to getagainst him, because I'm just like,
Baker doesn't put two games back toback. Yeah, Water finds its level

(54:08):
with Baker. But this is thebest offense Baker's been in. I mean,
I guess it's. I mean,and let's be let's be honest here.
One hundred and seventy three yards thatyou touchdowns, like two touchdowns.
He a good but one hundred seventythree yards woo badoo bad. We're sorry.

(54:29):
White didn't have a great game ofseventeen carries for thirty nine yards on
the ground, had a couple ofcatches I believe to help two for ten
to help with that line, butSeawan Tucker getting five carries is a little
surprising. He is the number twoon that well yeah, well very clearly
ahead of Chase Edmonds. So yeah, like you said, Mike Evans looked
good six sixty six in the tudGodwin five for fifty one, So yeah,

(54:52):
this might not be as bad aswe think. So stay tuned and
I am out on the Vikings,So I think it's I think it's it.
