(00:59):
Fantasy Savvy, at McKay at MattUnderscore, McKay Underscore and Twitter. Guys,
what's going on? Week Two's here? One game in the books?
Yeah, what's up? Boys?Ready to get into Week two? We
saw a decent game last night betweenthe Eagles and Mike Matt's Minnesota Vikings.
They get the l they start outoh and two. The Eagles get by,

(01:22):
you know, kind of squeaking bya little bit here, a little
bit struggles with Jalen Hurts, butthey get to win thirty four twenty eight.
Bo Let's get into it. Let'sget ready for week two. Yeah
boys, got to be on theshow first time this week as always,
thanks for tuning in to win withus. And yeah man, it was
a great week one for us hereand trying to keep that momentum gun into

(01:42):
week two. Let's do it.Yeah, game last night before we get
we already have a question from twitchand but the game last night, uh
started really slow, like the Iwas on the under because that's what the
betting trends told me to bet,and I ignored Phillies injuries. But from
a fantasy football perspective and a layerproper perspective, like outside the under.

(02:06):
Had a really good night betting anytimetouchdown scores cashing left and right, which
both me and Matt do really well. Steve does really good with your normal
wagers like the point spread, moneylines in total. So we have you
cover from a betting point of viewhere. Steve actually released a betting preview
show last night that you can getinto podcast and obviously syndicated here on YouTube.

(02:30):
But like you know, last night, Philadelphia, they look like they're
suffering from a Super Bowl hangover.It looks like, you know, a
J. Brown could have some divain him, but overall, you know,
you expect Philly to win. Guys, what did you think of that
game? Just real quick take onit. I mean the storylines just fumble

(02:53):
fumble, fumble, fumble. TheVikings once again shoot themselves in the foot,
golden opportunities left and right, whetherit's the Jeff Sin through the end
zone fumble, which people are upsetabout that rule I know, I mean,
it is what it is at thispoint, but self inflicted wounds.
With the storyline, the Eagles didnot look that sharp obviously, injuries in
the secondary made Kirk look like agod. I mean, no interceptions,

(03:14):
four touchdowns, over three hundred passingyards. He killed it. A lot
of that came kind of garbage eetime, but you know, Vikings defense
kind of showed up to play earlyon, at least the tush push.
See a lot of If there's someguy trying to come at me and Twitter
today saying that it should be outlawed, it's a bullshit play. He's he's
a Commanders fan, so naturally he'sa little upset. But to me,

(03:35):
I like it. It's like oldschool, like launch pale football. So
I'm a fan of the way theEagles run their offense, DeAndre Swift look
great if anyone put them in theirhim into their lineups. I'm sure you're
enjoying that output. But yeah,the Vikings man owing to start. They
can bounce back, but it's notthe easiest schedule in the world, and
it's really difficult to make the playoffs, and people are saying it, man,

(03:58):
variance catches up with you. TheViking, one of the luckiest teams
last year, got thirteen regular seasonwins, get bounced at home by Daniel
Jones and the Wild Cards. Soyeah, it's you know, we were
due to kind of take a coupleof hours. The one to Baker really
hurts, but last night's hurts evenmore just because I expected to get blown
out. We were competitive, andthen the self inflicted wounds. Man,

(04:18):
whether it's special teams or the runningback or the receiving corps like come on.
So really just the same old Vikings. Eagles will be fine. They
still have a top offensive line unit, but Jalen Hurts did not look that
great as a passer last night.Yeah, and I didn't get to see
all the first half. I wasI was telling you guys, I was
out with a friend. But youknow, maybe some kudos to Brian Flores

(04:41):
here, you know, hurts throughthat one bat pick only at one hundred
ninety three yards throwing, didn't evenrun for that much twelve for thirty five.
But how about freaking DeAndre Swift twentyeight one seventy five finally gave him
a freaking chance, Thank god.I mean, the Lions just held him
hostage all last year. The Eaglesheld him hosta this week? What was
he freaking Kenny Awell out there freakingrunning the ball, freaking give this dude

(05:02):
the ball to forty three yard run. He could get involved in the passing
game too, So I think Gaywellmay have got a little bit while he
pipped there. We'll see if youknow Gaywell kind of you know, gets
some of the share when he comesback. You would think so. But
you know, great game for DeAndreSwift and then justin Jefferson keeps it going.
Matt didn't slay, just kind oferase him last year in one of

(05:23):
those games. Yeah, I rememberit was really really next and nothing.
So last night was impressive. Yeah, I remember watching that. And then
Jordan Addison, you know, he'snot running as many routes as kJ Osborne,
just sixty two versus Osborne's eighty,but he continues to get it done
another touchdown, and you know,you would think he's going to get more
and more playing time as the seasongoes on and kind of show his talent
over Osborne. You know, beforewe move on to the questions, just

(05:46):
up, you know DeAndre Swift oneof my guys. I absolutely I feel
like I overdrafted him, but monstergame. We knew DeAndre Swift had this
in him. Like Steve said,Detroit didn't utilize him correctly, just more
of a pass catcher out of thebackfield. But DeAndre Swift very patient runner
with those holes that Philly's line isopening up, getting utilizing between the tackle

(06:11):
those he still shows his elusiveness.Rashad Penny non factor, He who knows
what the Eagles are gonna do withhim, But it seems like this should
be DeAndre Swift's a backfield to lose. I can't see that. I mean,
Gainwell was really good in week one, but I don't know how you
could not feature DeAndre DeAndre Swift movingforward. And one note, like Jordan

(06:36):
Addison, another one of my flagplans. So far, so good.
Now he cannot keep this up.This is the problem. Two straight games
with big touchdowns, not really gettingthe volume. He's still getting dominated in
snap count with when it comes tokJ Osborne. But Osborne had a couple

(06:56):
of couple of drops last night,and we should see sooner rather than later,
Jordan Addison take over that wide receivertwo roll in this offense, which
is obviously very valuable because justin Jefferson, even when he is getting the dominant
corner or the double coverage, he'sstill magnificent. We saw that last night.

(07:17):
But it's only a matter of atime. If you have Jordan Addison,
you know, back to back gamesixteen PPR points to start his career
with the touchdown, it's only amatter of a time before this kid pops.
And I do you know, Ido see him almost like a t
Higgins, where like this could bethe coming out party of the next Jamar

(07:39):
Chase t Higgins. So I reallylike what I'm seeing right now from Jordan
Addison. But guys, let's getinto some of these start sick questions and
ko on twitch as our leadoff hitor Rashad White or Josh Kelly and josh
Kelly's gonna be in a lot ofstart sick questions this week. Austin Ekeler
with the ankle doubtful to play.Initially he missed. Eckler missed Wednesday's practice.

(08:03):
I believe his agent passed on,but there was still that ankle injury
has kept him out of practice allweek long. Doubtful designation. He's as
good as out. To me,josh Kelly is going to be one of
the most valuable. Like everybody wastalking about Puka Nukua, Joshua Kelly might
be the most valuable waiver wire pickupof the offseason. He was free in

(08:28):
drafts and he went undrafted a lot. I wish I had him more.
I kind of had the feeling thatwe could see more two running back committee.
Austin Ekeler walk ere thirty years old. He's of course the main guy,
but Kellen Moore did use zeke andPollard every season he was the OC
and he had both in them.So I don't think that Joshua Kelly's gonna

(08:54):
go away once Austin Ekeler's healthy.Joshua Kelly was actually one of the more
efficient runners last week. And wecould see this kid take a step forward
in his career and his career asa fantasy football asset. I'm going Joshua
Kelly with no Austin Ekeler. Iwill start Joshua Kelly over Rashad White,

(09:15):
who to me like another he's AlexanderMadison two point zero for me. Yeah,
you make a good point about KellenMoore with zeke and Pollard. Is
Kelly the zeke for the Chargers thisyear? Or you know, maybe not
as much. I mean he's gonnaget sixteen carries every week? Probably not.

(09:37):
Was it just a really good matchupagainst the Dolphins. They kind of
just took advantage of the defensive lineand just kind of ran the you know,
down down their throats. But Ido think the Charger's offensive line is
pretty good, and you know,I think Kelly could really get into the
end Zoe quite a few times thisseason, So I think he will probably
be end up being a pretty goodpickup. Now, I was never a
josh Kelly guy. I've always kindof doubted the guy and thought he wasn't

(10:00):
that great. But if they're gonnarun block like this and he's gonna get
goal one carries, then he's gonnahave some value. But this week I
don't like the matchup against the Titans. Titans have a really good run defense
and then Rashad White. I don'tI'm not a Rashad White guy, but
you get the Bears and their defenselooks like trash once again, and I'll
probably catch a lot of balls.So I'm gonna go with Rashad White in

(10:22):
this matchup. Yeah, Steve,you just nailed what I was gonna say.
The matchup in Week two points towardRashad White and the Vikings. You
know, they got dashed by DeAndreSwift, but it's the best offensive line
in football they were facing, sothey're just opening up huge holes for Swift
to hit. So Rashod White obviouslydisappointing week one, but I think he's
due for a solid outing versus.Like you said, this heightened strength on

(10:43):
defense is the running stopping the run, and they paid guys to be able
to do that, So probably seemore of an aerial assault from them.
And for that reason, Yeah,I am off of Kelly being like a
lock and loaded guy. Like Iget it. Charge offense gonna move the
football, but if they're not inthe red zone. You know, they'll

(11:05):
make it a few times and hemight punch one in. So I don't
hate the move, but I thinkRashot White is definitely due for more of
a prominent role here in the matchupweek two. Yeah, I'm wanting to
stick to my guns here with withJoshua Kelly. Now obviously, yet this
is a tough matchup show. Iwould not blame you for going with Rashad
White Tennessee's defense. They kind ofbe raced Jamaal Williams. But like Williams

(11:31):
right, this Charger's offensive line isone of the best in the NFL,
and they also have Justin Herbert andcompany, So it's not like kind to
see you can stack the line wherelike I don't know, like to me,
like the reason why Rashad White andguys like Madison had all the hype
and I have very little Madison andmaybe like maybe ten percent fifteen percent Rashad

(11:54):
White is because their volume hype,right, They're gonna get the workload,
so of course you draft them,But like they weren't. I would say
like Madison and his small sample sizefor the years was more efficient than Rashad
White was last year, so whatmakes you think he's gonna be getting more
efficient with his touches? So like, I think they're both very touchdown dependent.

(12:16):
I'm gonna lean Kelly, but theyboth like Rashad White, and I
get it. The matchup does dictateRashad White. Let's go to Parker Bledsow
on Twitter, on YouTube. Shouldhe start Brandon Au, Garrett Wilson,
or Mike Williams out only one lookslike it. I would go Au.

(12:41):
Garrett Wilson as the Cowboys does notexcite me, especially with Zach Wilson at
the helm, who's the third receiver. I'm sorry, I'm mark Michael Williams.
Williams obviously great matchup, but whatthe hell happened last week? I
mean, the Dolphins evens is betterwith Fangio, but they still got the
ball, moved all over the fieldand gave up thirty four points and Mike

(13:03):
Williams was hardly a factor. Idon't feel comfortable right now with Mike Williams,
Like you use pretty high draft capitalto get him, so I don't
think it's the worst idea to rollhim out there in a good matchup just
to roll the dice again. Butto me, yeah, I just I'm
not sure about Mike Williams this week, man, And the matchup is great,

(13:24):
but like, what are the Chargersgoing to do? Yeah, that's
Mike Williams, like just very veryinconsistent overall. Let's see what Wilson can
do with Zach. You know,I got problem. I got hopes for
Zack Wilson. He's my guy,but let's see what he can do.
He's got to prove a lot stilland it's a tough matchup obviously against the
Dallas defense. So I starts outhot two touchdowns, looks like he's in

(13:46):
for a breakout season. Let's rollwith him against the thirty year wide receivers.
Isn't that what they say? That'skind of when they find their fourth
This is his fourth year, Ithink, isn't it. I think it's
his third year. Okay, Iknow it's his contre right, this fourth
year, you're right, my mistake, Well the one year he was in
the doghouse, so maybe like oneyears in the doghouse. But yeah,

(14:07):
man, I mean I feel likethe I don't know, there will be
Deebo weeks, There'll be Kittle weeksand that's kind of why we're getting Auk
in the seventh round. But itlooks like he's got a strong rapport with
Perty and it kind of developed latein the season last year. So to
me, like, what did Iexactly do against the Rams last year?
Let me take a look real quick, because if I recall correctly, uh

(14:28):
yeah, not very overwhelming statistics,but they also had Jon Ramsey there six
for six on targets in eighty oneyards and Tudd in the second matchup last
year at SOFI, which is wherethis game is. So yeah, I
don't think I is going to giveyou anything to sour. I think I

(14:48):
think his double digit PPR is withinreach one hundred percent. So that's why
I like I UK more. I'mgonna lean Brandon IUK here, but like
I'm not afraid of at Wilson necessarilybecause you know, second year receiver,
rookie offensive Rookie of the year lastyear with bad quarterback play, we obviously
drafted Wilson as if he was gonnahave Aaron Rodgers. But I do think

(15:11):
we see a more a better versionof Zach Wilson this year, which is
going to impact Garrett Wilson now Wilson, even with Zach starting fourteen point four
PPR against Buffalo. What I likeabout now Dallas defense dominant. They should
dominate this football game, but theyare gonna let up the big play,

(15:31):
like that's what Trevon Diggs is goingto do. Especially with Stefan Gilmore locking
down one side. I think wesee Trevon Diggs take even more chances at
the football, which is going toleave him very vulnerable. The safe play
here is certainly Brandon Aiyuk. Butyou know, if people are out there
listening, if you want to startGarrett Wilson, He's gonna bring a high

(15:54):
PPR floor every week, especially inthis one, which this should present garbage
time at some point. But forthis one here, I'm gonna lean Brandon
Ayuk, who was admittedly I wasout on Brandon Awyuk last week, though
that was one I definitely missed onWilliam Stevenson. What's going on? He's
asking how much do we trust JohannDotson this week with certain likely shadowing McLaurin.

(16:18):
Yeah, I like dots In quitea bit. I take it's over
forty four and a half receiving yardsprop minus from fourteen Van duel feels like
that's pretty pretty safe now. Iknow it wasn't like the coming out party
we had all hoped for last week. But credit to the Cardinals, they
fought hard. They got a defensiveminded head coach. He probably had a
lot of time to scheme up whathe did and what he caught. Five

(16:38):
to seven targets for forty yards.So yeah, I think Dotson it's all
probably get it on Sam how Samhow did not look great. He did
enough to win, but his firsttrue road start, We'll see what happens.
Man. I don't know. Thisis a tough game in Mile High.
I mean, Sean Payden is agood coach, so we'll see.

(17:00):
I'm not expecting too much out ofDotson right now. I don't have a
lot of Dotson, but when Itook him in once a couple of spots.
I don't feel great about him rightnow because I don't know if it's
samhow or Scamhowell. I keep sayingthat as Anthony likes to call him.
So we'll see, you know,and yeah, I mean certain could.
Uh. I don't know if he'sgonna lock up on mclauren in the whole
game. He could you know hecould line up with with Dotson a little

(17:21):
bit too here, So I don'tfeel great about it, but I still
can see him having a nice game. Well, Curtis Samuel is dealing with
an injury too. I'm not sureif it's going to keep him out,
but that's something to keep in mindas well. The issue here is,
you know, who are the DenverBroncos. He gave up the seventh most
PPR points last week. A lotof it was j Koby Myers, who,
by the way, he's not gonnaplay this week, So like,

(17:45):
is that who Denver secondary going tobe? Which means I like Washington's receivers
more. But I do expect thisdefense to get right at some point.
Dots and McLaurin, they were disappointing. How it was a little bit disappointing
last week what should have been acake matchup and it wasn't. So this
is gonna be a super low pointto much more difficult matchup on the road.

(18:10):
Yeah, my trust tractor is lowon Jahann Dotson, and you know,
I think it warrants it. Ithink so, but it could also
be the I mean, he poppedearly last year and I know it was
a different quarterback, but you neverknow. I'm willing to roll him out
there. I just would temper expectations. But wide receiver three with wide receiver
two upside at best. Nice questionhere from Smokey the Cat. Would we

(18:37):
trade Dalton Kincaid and either Roshan Johnsonor Carmon Williams for Chris Godwin PPR League
if it's not Dynasty, Yeah,definitely the three draft. I like it.
Rash Johnson and Dynasty could really turninto a thing. But if we're
talking redraft here, yeah, Ithink I would do that. I mean,
Chris Godden's gotta get going at somepoint. It was kind of the

(19:00):
Mike Evans Show last week, buthe made a big catch at the end
though by Baker right, you're righthe did. Yeah. Uh, what
was the full trade there? InKaide and Roshan or Kyron Williams so one
of the running backs and Kinkaid forGodwin? Mhm. I mean King Kaide

(19:23):
looked good, but they there's alot of mouths to feed on Buffalo.
They still have knocks and James Cooklooks to be taking every bit of a
more prominent role. Gave Davis isstill things. I mean, for Godwin,
if it's a redraft, you probablywant to get a little bit more.
Even though I love Roshan Johnson,I think he could take over the
number one duties there, but youknow, maybe he could aim a little
bit higher, I guess. Butyou know, it's not a bad trade.

(19:45):
Yeah, I like it. No, God wouldn't only gave you ten
PPR points, ten point one,fifty eight offensive snaps five or six or
fifty one matchup a little bit softer. I would say, like, like
Tampa Bay's defense is gonna be good, but I don't know. I think
they're they're gonna be vulnerable. I'msorry Chicago's defense they're playing. I'm I'm

(20:07):
thinking of last week's matchup because butyeah, so Godwin gets Chicago, I
don't know, Lake a good defense. Yeah, but this is a trade,
this is long term. I guessI would do it if you can
keep my My thing is I wantto keep Roshan Johnson. Roshan Johnson is

(20:29):
gonna take over that backfield this season, so obviously, dynasty them all in
a Roshan Johnson beyond this year.But even this year, I believe Roshan
Johnson is gonna take over for KhalilHerbert. And even like last week,
Roshan and twenty six snaps five fortwenty in a touchdown and six of seven
targets for thirty five yards. Youknow ran that guy over it too,

(20:53):
that was grown man running. Sotwo red zone targets, two red zone
carries, including two inside the fiveyard line. So why isn't Khalil Herbert
getting those opportunities if he's a longterm answer? So if you can do
this trade, give and I likeKinkaid, But if you give up kin
Kaid and Kyron, I think Imake the move. But I'm keeping Roshan

(21:17):
if you can Ris, Oh what'sgoing on? He needs two out of
Mamanra st Brown, Gabrett Wilson,T Higgins and Mary Cooper. He's man.
I think the Bengals offense gets ittogether this week against the Ravens.
They usually perform pretty well. SoI do like T Higgins. It does.
It feels a bit risky, butyou use draft capital, really high

(21:40):
draft capital to get T Higgins,so you gotta keep him out there.
And Amanra I would never bench,So yeah, those are my guests.
Yeah, I don't mind that Icould see that Burrows gotta maybe those Burrows
a bounced back this week. Butand you could throw Garrett Wilson out there,
it's very close. You got astack of great receivers right there,
so you know, maybe just pickout of a hat on that one.
Amandro's gotta be one. I thinkhe's a lot start in this matchup.

(22:06):
That one over went over like eightypoints. Last year was like forty eight
to like forty Yeah, whatever itwas. It was a three point ballgame.
Darret Gopp went off amandros st Brownin that matchup last year. Yeah,
two for twenty three and one asa rusher, eight for a buck

(22:29):
eleven and one as a receiver.Went absolutely ballistic. So he's a lock.
I already talked about Garrett Wilson.I think you can put him in
your lineups, just you're not gonnaI don't know if he's gonna give you
a though, like I was comparing, well, he's gonna be the next
to Vante with Rodgers. I thinkGarrett Wilson has a shot to finish as
a back end wide receiver one thisyear. But again, you have better

(22:49):
receivers because I don't like this matchupagainst Dallas, So it comes down to
te Higgins and a Mariy Cooper.Amari Cooper. This he's familiar year he
plays the Steelers. Last year,it looks like he had a nice seven
one to one and one and thentwo for fifty one in the season finale,

(23:10):
so he is definitely in play here. And then we get this Cincy
Baltimore matchup, and Lamar always playswell against the Cincinnati Bengals, so I'm
expecting points here. I'm expecting JoeBurrow kind of has pretty good games in
this matchup as well to play well. The thing is like, what do
we do here with t Higgins?Well, historically T Higgins at least last

(23:32):
season two dud of two duds,and then you go back the year before
he went ballistic twelve or one ninetyfour and two back in December of twenty
one, and then seven for sixtytwo back in October of twenty one,
So I would I might lead aMark Cooper here. The fact that he
put up two duds in this exactmatchup last year worries me. The fact

(23:52):
that this offense came out so slowworries me. And you know, Amari
Cooper. Pittsburgh's defense is banged up, Hayward's gonna be out for a while,
but their defense was just smoked bythe forty nine or so. I
I might actually go Amari Cooper andand and and Monross Saint Brown. And

(24:14):
this game's in Pittsburgh, which Idon't love. I'd rather this being Cleveland
for Cooper, but better was alittle bit safer in Pittsburgh. At least
it might not be shit weather likeit was last week. Yeah, I
just I don't know. I thinkte Higgins in the entire Bengals offense kind
of feast. So I'm coming.I mean, there is a little bit.
There is a little bit concerned thoughBurrow did start slow last year.

(24:37):
Maybe that Calf's bothering him a littlebit. So I don't mind pivoting the
Cooper there either. James Walsh onYouTube Burrow or Purty we were not here
yet, folks, are we Borrow? You're Purty? I don't know.
I mean, Purty's got all theweapons around him. He plays confidently,

(25:00):
sh great head coach Burrow. Wedon't know what exactly last week was.
Was it just the O line gettingcream? Probably? But if that's going
to be an issue every week.I know you're not facing Miles Garrett every
single week, but I mean theRavens stuff a decent squad on defense.
So yeah, I would say Burrowfor now for sure, don't don't panic
too much yet and flip flop that. But Purdy definitely looks the part m

(25:25):
I will say, yeah, andthe Rams secondary did a good job on
Gino. I thought the Rams secondarylocked up those receivers pretty well. You
know, Niners got quite a fewweapons as well. But yeah, I
mean I am a little bit concernedabout Burrow. Maybe it takes him another
week or two to really pop off, but I think I still go with
Burrow. He got a haircut,man, It's all good. God did

(25:48):
Purty play the Rams last year?I don't know, you're the historical guy.
You gotta pull that one. I'mtrying to look that up before and
move on because I don't have iton my one h site. I would
think he did. Let's see,I want to see how he fared Beau.
Yeah, he's never faced the Rams. Yeah, they played him twice

(26:11):
early before. He was a starter. Interesting, very interesting. I think
he plays well. I think hehas a good game the Rams. I
think people were totally wrote him offSeattle. Probably, I mean, whether
they admitted it or not, theywon't. Probably wasn't really fully invested in
that matchup because of how bad theRams were and all of a sudden got
smoked. So maybe they'll be payinga bit more attention. Shanahan's a great

(26:33):
head coach. He'll have him ready. So yeah, I'm still gonna listen.
I'm going Burrow. I just feelsafer. It's Joe Burrow. We
drafted him high for a reason.I'm not yet first home game I'd rather
go. I'm gonna go with thestud and yes, super cuts, you
know, and any any rebuttal here, like are you guys on Burrow two
or yeah, I'm a Borrow guyfor I mean, I understand the caution

(26:57):
maybe you know a little bit,but I mean if you if it's the
Purty, I don't think it's terrible. But yeah, I still like Burrow.
You know, Burrow historically me averagestwenty four point one Fantasy points per
game in six games against the Ravens. I would say, though, like
if you have Brock Purty and youknow you took him with Burrow as your

(27:18):
backup. If this was the weekto use party it probably this week.
Next up we have Trey full pointPPR. He needs two Garrett Wilson,
Michael Pittman, Elijah Moore, RashadWhite, Javante where James Cook. Really
nice lineup of players you only needto I don't even know where to go

(27:41):
here. Beat it off again.Garrett Wilson, Michael Pittman, Elijah Moore,
Rashad White, Javante Williams or JamesCook. M against the Raiders for

(28:02):
sure. Yeah, that's a goodmatchup there. We talked about Rashad White,
Elijah Moore, Garrett Wilson, MichaelPittman. I think I'm rolling out
Wilson as one. Uh, youknow, even with Zach Wilson, he's
just gonna be a target hog regardless, He's gonna get the most targets there.

(28:26):
Uh. You know. Pittman agood debut, caught that screen pass,
took it to the house. Getsa Texans defense that I thought did
a good job in Week one.But I thought Richardson played pretty well,
so I would put him over ElijahMoore between the receivers. Maybe I'd go
Pittman and Wilson Matt I did likeMichael Pittman last week. I think he

(28:51):
has a potentially another solid outing thisweek. So I will go Pittman and
and who are the running backs?I'm sorry, James Cook. James Cook
against the Raiders. I mean,the Broncos used three running backs and they
kind of feasted, but no onehad that really top tier breakout game.

(29:15):
I think James Cook could definitely dothat. Mike Boone was not Mike Boone.
I'm thinking about the Texas pe Ryanlooked good. Cushing I thought he
looked better than Javante. I thinkJavante is still working his way back a
little bit. The one guy youcould say is maybe Rashot White you could
throw in there too, but it'sclose between him and Pittman for me.
You know, if we're talking pureceiling here, like James Cook against the

(29:37):
Raiders, he looked phenomenal. JamesCook looks like one of the next breakout
running backs in the NFL. Andyou know, Josh Allen was his decision
making. I think Buffalo was gonnaneed to run the football more. Son.
I'm gonna go James Cook, andI'm gonna go with I might go

(29:59):
for shot White and James Cook orMichael Pittman and James Cook. One of
those two guys, I think cooksthe lock either with Rashaan Or or Pittman,
who does play pretty well against HoustonTexans and Anthony Richarson. You know,
I thought he was gonna be prettygood. He actually performed better than

(30:19):
expectation, especially throwing the ball lastweek. And obviously Pittman's the main guy.
Garrett Wilson, he's one of myguys, but like I I'm very
much worried about him this week againstDallas. He's either gonna he'll either give
you like a solid like eighteen pointsor like eight eight points. So that's
where I'm going there. Chris hasa trade offer giving Higgins and Roshan Johnson

(30:45):
receiving JT and Pickens Jesus, soit would be he'd be sending Roshan and
T Higgins and getting Pickens and JT. Obviously there's a lot of risk involved
here. Yeah, are you prettydeep at running back? I kind of

(31:06):
like the pickings JT side. Ithink JT's gonna look at the way Dean.
I don't know what the Colts aregonna do, but Deon Jackson was
freaking horrible in week one. Weknow Zach coming back. I know Zach
Moss is coming back, but it'snot like he's that much better anyway.
Evan Hole's hurt also, so theymight be looking just to get Taylor to
keep him there. But either way, I think Taylor's gonna play somewhere,
you know, by week five,and I think Pickens is gonna turn it

(31:30):
on as the season goes along too. So do love ros Sean Johnson.
It's it's a nice little trade.Plus you get, you know, four
weeks of Rochean before JT comes back. I'll go Pickens and JT if you
can weather the storm at running back. If you're gonna trade Rose shan Away,
I mean he didn't draft Rochan tobe a starter. Oh yeah,
but he could be fit at runningback. You know, I don't know,

(31:53):
Matt, Yeah, I'm with you. I like both of those guys,
especially Pickens. I mean, thiswe sell the Steelers floor. I
know it started terribly, it's thebest one of the top three defenses in
football, so the matchups will geta little bit better and Pickens will do
well. So I like holding outof those guys. I feel like you're

(32:14):
making this move because you have agood enough team to lose T Higgins and
you'll be getting back Pickins who like, listen, everybody knows I'm worried about
Kenny Pickett overall, So like that'sa risk here, but getting Jonathan Taylor
is a gold mine, right becauseif he plays, if he comes back

(32:38):
week five, whether it's for theColts, whether it's for another team,
he's a league winner. So ifyou can afford to make this move,
and I don't think you make itunless you can afford to make the move,
I would pull the trigger and gambleon JT. Because we have two
backfields right now that we know arein bad shape, and that's Minnesota and

(33:00):
Miami already deal with a little bitof injury bug. Like most it's gonna
play this week, but we haveWilson out looks like a chain's coming back,
but like mostar it's injury prone.I'm measing it off the injury report,
and Miami might be thinking, hey, like Aaron Rodgers is out,
Buffalo doesn't look great. New England'sNew England. Right now, we have

(33:21):
a chance to win this division andpossibly make a run or week points running
back. They could pull the triggerand and move make a move for Jonathan
Taylor. So I think I makethis move and roll the dice gets on
YouTube. He needs to out ofGodwin Lockett, Za Flowers or Dotson for

(33:46):
me, I'm gonna go Zay Flowersand I'm gonna go in a bounce back
shootout Tyler Lockett. Yeah, Iwas gonna say Locket too. Yep,
hours and Lockett for me, makeit a sweep. George Cooks no relation
to Brandon Cooks. Do we doprice pick lineups? Not on this show

(34:07):
necessarily, but we do do dfs, bass and picks based shows. You
can go see them in the archiveson YouTube. Ris. Oh again,
wait, he's asking so I alwayssaw one question from Chris. Chris,

(34:30):
if you have a second question?Oh no, okay, no, never
mind. Yeah, we did getto your both here, George. We'll
try to answer your question. Justa price pick lineup. So he's saying,
Dak over two hundred and fifteen passingyards, Wattle over four receptions,

(34:52):
London under forty nine receiving yards,Bijan over eighteen receiving yards, Nause under
fifty miles, Sanders under sixty.You guys could take that one. Listen,
I'm very high on Naji Harris thisweek, so that's what that's the

(35:14):
one I'm worried about Naji. I'ma little bit worried about Dak against the
Jets, but like, Naji's theone. Guys, I'm a big historical
matchup guy. If you're listening tothe show, you would know that.
If you're a long time listener,you know if you're new, Like,
I'm big on historical matchups. Andin four career games against the Cleveland Browns,

(35:36):
Naji Harris like like he scores atouchdown every game. Like to me,
like I'm gonna hammer as anytime touchdownprop and he's it just historically shows
up. Last week obviously like neitherhim or Jalen Warren got a lot of
action. It was garbage time inthe first five minutes, but Naji still
played more snaps. So like thenarrative that, well, Jalen Warren it's

(36:00):
gonna be the pass catcher he's thenwhy wasn't in a game that Pittsburgh was
trailing the whole damn time and theylost Deonte Johnson and Friar Muth was hurt.
Why wasn't your primary pass catching backinto lineup more than Najy Harris,
who everybody's phasing out. So Ithink the Nagy one I might find another

(36:20):
way to go there. Yeah,the Dak one, I'm not crazy about
passing yards over. I would finda different one. There was the Miles
Sanders over under under sixty. Yeah, I like that against the Saints.
Hmm yeah. Can you read thequestion one more, Tom Anthony? This

(36:42):
question was it's just player props overunders, Dack over two fifteen, Waddle
over four, London under forty nine, Bijan over eighteen receiving yards, Nagy
under fifty, miles under sixty likethe two I'm worried about, or Nagy
and Dak the most. Yeah.Yeah, I think Tyreek is going to
be the focal point of Bill Belichick'sobviously the game plans, so Waddle could

(37:06):
feast. I like that prop.You guys nailed. The Dak one going
to be a run, a doseof heavy running, I believe from the
Cowboys. Yeah. Naji Harris manprivate time at home against the Browns.
I mean, Browns have an incredibledefensive line. Clearly we saw that last
week, So I don't know.I mean, if the Steelers can move

(37:29):
the football, maybe he can findhis way into the end zone. But
yeah, I think these are generallysome good props, and especially the Drake
London under whatever. Even if itwas five and a half receiving yards,
I would still take the ender.I mean, that guy got a feel
for him. It's a run centricoffense. Arthur Smith does not care.
He's got Algier and Bijjohn and heseems they paid the ship out of their

(37:50):
offensive line this offseason. They gota really good one that no one really
talks about, and they kind ofplay smash mouth football. So I think
most of those are pretty good inmy book. James Walsh, he's asking
James Cook, Joe mixing, JoshKelly or Najy Harris. He needs to

(38:12):
here. I'm going to go,oh, this is tough for me at
least one. I love Najy thisweek, and I love Josh Kelly.
I'm gonna go James Cook and I'mgonna go Nagy. Like Najyn, he's
gonna be Obviously it's risky because howPittsburgh played, but he is my one
of my flag plant players for weekstwo. I'm all in on Najy Harris

(38:37):
the pivot if you don't trust itwould be Josh Kelly. So to me,
I'm ranking him Cook, Harris Kellymixing. Yeah like that. Cook
could have a very nice game againstthe Raiders. And I'm not big on
Mixing or Josh Kelly this week.Yeah. See, I think I'm a
bit higher on mixing than you guysare. I think he'll have a bounce
back performance with the Bengals kind ofoperating at a much higher level and general

(39:00):
it's all predicated on if they playat one eighty from last week, which
you know to be the mix isnot going to escape those Raves defenders.
Yeah, but I think if theYeah, but if the Bengals are inside
the ten, they're just gonna findmixing this score, he's gonna fall down
to two. You think he's gotyou think he's got permanent loaded. I'm
all I'm all over, I'm alloff, Joe Mixing man, Okay,

(39:21):
all right, Yeah, James Cookfor me, one hundred percent. No
Brander in between Naji and mixing forme? Uh? Is Tomlin gonna let
this happen two weeks in a row? Is Pickett gonna put up another dud.
I don't think so, so Iguess I would go with a slight
edge to Naji there over mixing.Yeah, Nagy at least fifty six yards
rushing in all four career games,at least one touchdown in all four career

(39:45):
games. His rushing totals eighty fiftysix one eighty eight ninety one, and
he also has caught at least threepasses and three out of four career games.
So really high PPR point floor orNaji Harris in this matchup. Let's
see Tyler see on YouTube. Shouldhe trade Tyreek and Aaron Jones for Stefan

(40:08):
Digs and Josh Jacobs. He alsohas Josh Allen, so he's trying to
get the stack. No, Idon't think I'm trading Tyreek Hill for Jesus
Christ. Well, for Jesus,I may do it, but a freaking
listening like cold quote major League.I don't know if he could throw,

(40:29):
I don't know if you get throcurveball, and I don't know if he
can outrun Tyreek Hill. I willleave all that whiskey around here. One
of the greatest movies of all time. So yeah, like Tyreek Hill is
the best might be the best fantasyTyreek this series is going ape this year

(40:51):
to go for two k. Hewants to go for two thousand yards,
and I think he can do it. I think a lot of us forgot.
I mean with the two end,we kind of all forgot about the
hype the Dolphins generated earlier last season. So as long as two is healthy
and McDaniel is calling the plays,they're in a good spot. Yeah.
So like Tyreek and Aaron Jones forDigs and Jacobs, like I think there

(41:15):
is slightly like I just he's worriedabout that Aaron Jones injury. I guess,
uh yeah, I just don't likethe Packers are going to run their
offense through Aaron Jones and it's justa I know, hamstring's linger man,
but like they got to get offto a J. Dillon and the freaking
get Aaron Jones mortal line. ArJones didn't practice at all this week with

(41:37):
the hamstring. But but but they'renot. He's questionable. Usually when guys
don't practice like it looks like he'she knows the offense. He's a bet.
He doesn't necessarily need the practice.Like he's just one of those veterans,
and I'll take a week without Jonesto keep Tyrene. Think it's just
like he's just so matchup proof,the quarterback proof, yeah, and and

(41:57):
the and I get he wants thatjigs Alan stack, but like, I
don't know, I mean, you'regoing to Monster weeks with that stack.
I mean if you could trade somebodyelse, but Ty like Tyree kills untradeable
for me. Yeah, yeah,I mean the guys still got his absolute
burners obviously, And I mean theChargers secondary isn't that bad and he was

(42:21):
cooking them, so yeah, Iwould not move off of him, either
William or Albert m what's going onWilliam half point, PPR, Dotson,
Nkoua or Pickings. I think Nicouamight be dealing with an injury. Deontay
is probably Dodson, you know.Nicoua gets the forty nine ers like brown

(42:45):
secondary looks really good, and Dotsongets like Dotson gets U Denver who they
were like little torchs a little bitlast week, but like they're normally a
good secondary. I think I'm offPickens man this one. I think it's
a tough matchup Dotson maybe I guesshere. I think if Sam House first

(43:09):
road start, I don't know ifNkua plays. I think you played Nakua
because I think he's gonna be thatlike Cooper Cup target hog type of role.
Yeah, and it's it's standpoint PPR. You just need receptions. Yeah.
I don't like that matchup for Pickenseither, but to start the year
at least, I'm gonna stick withmy ADP and where I took these guys,

(43:32):
So I'm gonna stick with Pickens again. Yeah, I think. I
mean the Niners, you can moveit through the air on them for sure,
if they have one weakness. Soyeah, Nikua does make sense.
It was the oblique injury. He'she's looking like he's trending towards playing.
So yeah, I'll go Nikua overDotson for sure. I want I want
to Sam how to prove it onthe road first. Yeah, and the

(43:52):
pivot outside of Nakua if he doesn'tplay, if there's any limitations, like,
yeah, I guess George Pickens.But last year three for thirty nine
and three for seventy two and one, so we're basically looking at like and
I feel like this could be thetrajectory for Pickings. He's gonna give you
these. He's either gonna give yousomething or nothing. So like, you

(44:12):
know, it's kind of weird thathis aid was his ADP high because the
picket hype, because I never understoodthat, Like I just don't have a
lot of George Pickens. He seemstoo volatble. He just seems too volatble
to garner that ADP that he wasgoing at like where like Pickens were Like
it was like Pickens were Michael Pittman, Like Michael Pittman's the number one,

(44:35):
Like give me the number one,not the number two with the quarterback,
like we'll get We don't know AnthonyRichardson, but Anthony Richardson was like a
top five pick where Pickett could havebeen in the second round pick. Yeah,
true, Pickens could go nuts onMonday night. So we'll see what
happens the rest of the year.You know, Pickens just might be another
highlight. Real player could be in. Matt Cannon seems to like just like

(45:00):
running him on street routes. Soun they need to bring in Steve Nebraska,
you know, you know, justwe'll see what you know, who
Steve Nebraska is no Steve D'Angelo,Do you know who Steve Nebraska is.
Remember The Scout with Albert Brooks andBrendan Fraser. Steve Nebraska the picture.

(45:24):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,I remember, Yeah, the dude from
they found him in Mexico and thenthey got the guy with the curly hair.
You're talking about, right, AlbertBraska. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
he was in what was that moviewith Meryl Street. I don't know.
When they go to heaven and theyget to they have to do all
these things in heaven and to getto the next level, I don't know

(45:46):
what that is. Yeah, thatwas a good movie. Watch. If
you never watched The Scout, watchit. Good baseball movie Defending your Life.
I think it was called They Goto They go to heaven and then
they rewatch a lot of their theirpast lives and what they did in their
life and they try to correct thing. It's pretty good. Actually. William
Stevenson PPR Rashad White, p Ryanor Kyron Williams p N. Steve's talked

(46:09):
about Pround looking good. He literallyhe had a really prominent role in Denver's
offense. They are run centric,just like Peyton was in New Orleans.
This is a tough commander's defense torun on. But I mean, I
think the touches plus his efficiency makeme like him the most here For me,
I mean, I just think theBears defense is such trash. So

(46:31):
I'm gonna go with Roshat White.Yeah. Yeah, you guys kind of
talked me into Rashad White a littlebit earlier, and like I said,
I'll still start Joshua Kelly over him. Yes, it's risky, but like
Rashad White really does have a terrificmatchup against the Chicago Bears, and if
they you know, like yes,volume dependent. I am worried about Sean

(46:53):
Tucker eventually taking over if Rashad Whitedoesn't get going, But right now this
should be Shad's White backfield. Soyeah, I'm gonna go with Rashad White
here. I think the pivot wouldbe Kyra and Williams. It looks like
Kyra Williams is the better runner.It's only been one week and the Rams

(47:13):
kind of overplayed their hand, buthe did give you seventeen point four fifteen
for fifty two and those two touchdowns. He did have fifty two snaps the
cam Akers twenty six. This matchupagainst San Francisco forty nine ers I'm completely
out on So, like, Iguess Rashad White's probably the smart play.

(47:36):
Yeah, it's either him or pRyan, but I think just the matchup,
I'll go with White and he's themain guy there. So the thing
what Bert Ryan is like they haveJavant like is Sean Payton. They're gonna
use multiple backs. Ye, stilllike he's basically like the number one.
It's kind of like at more thannumber one, bother anybody else that Rashad

(47:57):
White last week six point nine pppoints, fifty four snaps, seventeen for
thirty nine, then two for tenlad Minnesota look with DeAndre Swift was able
to do but he had the bestoffensive line. I mean, the Bucks
do not. Jensen's out. Andmeanwhile, Shawn Tucker h five for fifteen,

(48:22):
like you know, obviously like didn'tget a ton of usage, but
like he only had two fewer PPRpoints. He had four point four.
When I say Rashot had like six, took something because Shawn Tucker had two,
also had two targets same as RashaanWhite two for nine, five for
fifteen. So I'm saying this isone backfield of monitor if Shawn Tucker Jenner

(48:47):
Waiver wire, I might pick itup. It like, yes, start
Rashan White this week, but ifhe struggles again, I would watch out
for Shawn Tucker. And we've seenguys in good matchups just shit the bed
before. Yeah, and he couldjust be matchup proof in the wrong way.
And to me, I keep saying, he's like it looks like Levy
on Bell and the Jets, butmaybe worse. And for anybody listening,

(49:07):
we go questions in order, andyou know, we sometimes we contact,
sometimes we fire throw especially we've talkedabout the player before, so just stick
with us. We literally try toget to everyone. It gets difficult some

(50:15):
to your questions. And then Dotsonor two two at Well, I'm gonna
go Dotson here. I'm not I'mnot messing with two two at Well against
San Francisco. Yeah, I lovethe name Dotson. Yeah, I kind
of like the two too a littlebit. Yeah, but they and he
looks they look like they're really usinghim this year. And he looks fast

(50:35):
as shit. He always is fast. But yeah, I gotta go Dotson.
Larkin Ellis does he trade David Montgomeryand Wilson assuming that's Gabrett Wilson for
Jalen Waddle. He has cup Onir and Monty on his bench? No,
why all right? Is it?I think dame On Cocomery is gonna

(51:00):
have a nice role for the Lionsall year, and I think Garrett Wilson
is still you know, everybody's kindof giving up on him. I wouldn't
totally just throw this guy away.I mean, he's still a hell of
a player. Even if Zach Wilsoncan't get him the ball. Look what
he did. He freaking made anunbelieable catch. He's gonna get some big
plays this year. Now, itmight start a little slow, but Zach

(51:21):
Wilson and Garrett Wilson, especially thisweek, they might you know, they're
gonna try to really rain Zach Wilson, baby him a little bit, at
least in the beginning. But youknow, Zach Wilson is the type of
player that there's gonna be some playswhere he rolls out throws at sixty seventy
yards down the field, and mostof the times is gonna be Garrett Wilson
because really nobody else there. SoI'm sticking with that. I love Waddle,
but you got Montgomery gives you agood running back depth. I like

(51:44):
him all year and Garrett Wilson,so I'll keep those two. Yeah,
I might. I might agree withyou here, Steve Montgomery. I mean,
we know how the Lions operate withtheir backfields, so Montgomery's worth holding
on to. And as you said, Garret Wilson. I mean, as
much as we're all are a lotof us not you are hesitant about Zach

(52:07):
Wilson. I mean you said itearlier. Who else are you gonna throw
the ball too? You know?So yeah, I like keeping those two
guys. You know, before theArdon Rodgers injury, waddle for Wilson was
a fair swap, and now we'rethrow You want to throw in David Montgomery
to make this deal, and Montgomeryis gonna be a very effective running back

(52:27):
in this offense. I don't.I'm not gonna make the deal. I
would try to push an even swapor just keep your guys. I'm worried
about Garrett Wilson this week against Dallas, but there's still that chance that he
gets open for a big touchdown playor some big yards depending on who's locked
up, whether it's Gilmore or Digs. I'm interested to see it. I'm

(52:50):
gonna give you a little bit ofof why I am not. And Wilson
was a flag plant for me thisyear. It happens a top five receiver
now backpedal and say he finished asa back end wide receiver one obviously no
Aaron Rodgers, but second year receiverRookie of the year. We know who
gave you eleven hundred yards he didlast year with bad quarterback play. I
like Natt Hackett as a OC,sucked as a head coach, pretty good

(53:15):
offensive coordinator. I'll keep going backto that Mike Garoppolo tweet that when Wilson
threw that early pick to Matt Milano, Hackett calmly went up to Wilson,
and you know, Zach Wilson hassaid, shake it off, don't worry
about it. And then Zach Wilsonthink nine for thirteen with the touchdown rest
of the game. I think he'sa little bit more matured after being with

(53:37):
Hackett and Aaron Rodgers this whole offseason, and I think when Aaron Rodgers is
good to go, He's going tobe on the sideline or at least coaching
up Garrett Wilson. If Aaron Rodgersis gonna come back next year, he
doesn't want the Jets to be alosing team. He wants to come back
to a winning situation. So like, why wouldn't he want to help out

(53:59):
you know his protege that we sawthat in the preseason he was on the
sidelines, so I'm gonna be alittle bit more optimistic about Garrett Wilson and
Zach Wilson. So I would notdo that deal because yeah, and I
get Montgomery's on your bench, butwhat if you're one of your starting running
backs. I mean, this isfantasy football, this is the NFL.

(54:19):
But yeah, like, I wouldrather have David Montgomery on my bench to
plug and play if one of yourguys gets hurt. And if this was
an even swap, I'd probably tellyou yes. But then on the other
side with Jalen Waddle, what ifTua goes down? Then what so wait,
yeah, great, whatever I wantbetter than get Zach. No,

(54:43):
I know, but that's that's whatit was last year, right, Chris.
Oh, yes, we do havea discord usually. I think it's
in the link of description of theshow. If not, dm me on
Twitter at the real NFL Guru,I will get you a link to it.
Yeah, that's another good spot toask questions as well. We also
have a Facebook group like thirty onethousand members. It's a little bit harder

(55:05):
to get your you know, likeyou can like I always tell people in
that group, like if you tagme or one of the other admins.
We'll answer your questions personally, butlike the group is very interactive, where
like you'll post and like you'll havelike thirty comments on It's like our own
kind of a little sub Grabbit typesubreddit type of thing on Facebook. Thirty
one thousand members and growing. Itwas only at a thousand last year at

(55:28):
this time, so amazing growth there. Dax is saying he forgot to start
Addison and Swift. Yeah, wewould have. I would have told you
to start both because I personally startedboth as risky as it was. Like,
yes, it was risky, butlike it obviously paid off. Facebook
question golf or Fields against Seahawks gotthere. He went ballistic at home in

(55:54):
this same matchup four touchdowns over threefifty last year, Fields did like people
are fucking panicking over Fields. Heget you twenty one points depending on scoring
system last year. Yeah, wegot assets on Monday at the day and
I think, yeah, I thinkthe ceiling plays Goff, but the sate

(56:16):
but he I think. I alsothink Goff has a lower floor. I
think Fields is a higher floor becauseof the rushing upside. But if it's
my lineup, I think I'm puttingGoff in I agree, Yeah, yeah,
I mean it's a tough Bucks defense. One thing they definitely got is
a good defense still, and Bakerplayed decent. But the one good thing

(56:39):
I guess is Carlton Davis may missthis game. I think he is out.
But Seahawks Lions total of forty seven, could get a nice little shoot
out there. You know, JoshReynolds can make some plays. You got
a mon run, you got Gibbsorda. So I think it's very close.
You know, if it's my lamp, I'm throwing Fields, But I

(57:00):
would go Goff or Fields this week. I have no issue with it.
And Fields did play Tampa Bay twentytwenty one, obviously a long time ago,
different Bucks team, different Bucks defense, younger Bucks defense. Tom Brady
was a quarterback and Fields struggled mightily, three interceptions, one hundred and eighty
four. Like it was a differentjustin Fields. But like this, like

(57:22):
this Javrad Goff matchup, it's justthe fact that it wasn't like they played
two years ago. They literally playedin Detroit last season Detroit one or lost
forty eight to forty five. JabredGoffs three seventy eight, four and one.
Yeah, and I think like it'sgonna be another type of high scoring

(57:45):
game because we know Seattle. I'mgonna forgive them what they did last week.
But like Gino last year in thatmatchup went four three twenty and two
and then rushed for seven for fortynine and one. You know, like
Gino played fantastic. So like,if this is gonna be another shootout,
I think it will be. Ithink Gino and Goff we're gonna be outstanding

(58:07):
starts this week. Both put upover thirty four pp or Fantasy points last
year. Yeah, I'm not gonnalie. I feel better, almost better
about golf this week. Den fieldsanother Facebook question wide receiver or two PPR

(58:29):
McLaurin, Nico Mooney or a rob. I kind of like, I kind
of I kind of like fucking NicoCollins with all that volume he had last
week. Yeah, Stroud looked notbad. Tough matchup for him to start
on the road. He gets backhome against the Colts defense, which did

(58:50):
look good as well. But yeah, like you said, the volume is
nice, So give me Nico.Yeah. They use Nico a lot,
a lot of in routes, andthey use them the right way. He's
a big body, good target forStrout. He's the number one guy there
right now and might be the numberone all season. So with Denver defense
looked a little bit bone over lastweek, they're at home now and I

(59:13):
think the defense is better than howthey played last week, especially defending Jacoby
Myers. I do like a robmore of a high floor play than anything
else. And Darnell Mooney. Ilove Darnell Mooney this year. I love
the discount. I love the factthat Chase Claypool might be deactivated, might
be a healthy scratch, And Ilike the fact that because Mooney's was never

(59:35):
a number one and he was kindof drafted like he would be last year.
But like, I think this isgonna be a very nice year for
Darnell Mooney. But in this situationright now, I think Nico would his
volume he had and he gets theColts and look at what Ridley did,
and yeah, so I think Nicois a play here. As we start
winding down, William Stevenson needs tooout of field. Richardson, Daniel Jones.

(01:00:00):
I'm gonna go Richardson and DJ getsthe thing that we gotta talk about
here when it comes to Daniel Jones. Is that Gannon knows dable in Jones
and fucking Gannon's defenses in Philly justannihilated Daniel Jones last year, So does

(01:00:22):
that play a factor with anybody?Yeah? Also, they look good.
I thought the Cardinals defense, Imean, they played the Commanders, but
they still look good to me.They're making plays fields. Yeah. I
love the way Richardson looked week one, but I thought the Texas defense played
well under Damiko Ryans, who's callingthe plays there on defense as head coach.

(01:00:50):
I don't mind going Richardson though itneeds to oh too. Then I'm
going fields, and I'm going Richardson. Yeah, I'm going to field and
Richmond as well. I'm benching DannyDimes. I need to see it.
If it happens this week, great, But like Waller's still banged up.
I didn't really like what he's gonnaplay. He's off the injury report and

(01:01:10):
they're saying the ham furg is gonnabe a shit's always gonna be a lingering
issue, right, So he's notone hundred percent right, but he's but
that's pretty much He's never gonna beone hundred percent this year. That's how
I'm reading into that, but he'sbut he has no injury designation. I'm
not really who worried about that?Yeah, I mean this could be a

(01:01:31):
big bounce back spot for the forthe Giants for sure, but it only
They're only four and a half pointfavorites on the road, So I'm bad.
I don't know. Yeah, Ido too, but I do like
Danny Jones still, I'm not gonnagive up on him, but I prefer
those two guys. Cam who tostart Pitts or Hayden Hurst and so here

(01:02:00):
Hurst. I know it's a toughmatchup, but man, Pitts, that's
m M kids had a decent gamelast week. He did, he did.
I mean, you get the Packersdefense, which is looking not terrible,
and Saint Stevens looked good. Iget it, But I mean Hurst
is clearly the security blanket for BryceYoung by far the most targets got the

(01:02:22):
tough down look good. So wewere on Hurst all offseason. Give me
Hurst. Yeah, Saints literally.Gate did not give up a catch the
tight ends last week, and thenwho does Pitts played Green Bay, Green
Bay or middle of the pack togive up five for forty nine we're five

(01:02:43):
for forty four, so I meanmatchup wise, I guess I don't know
that. And where's the Saints gamebeing played Carolina? Yeah, I think
I'll roll hayden Hurst because it's notif it's with New Orleans, I would
have went Pits, but the factthat it's on the road and New Orleans
is different on the road, Iwill go hayden Hurst. Give me Pitts.

(01:03:09):
I like the Saints d Chark's comingback. He may get raised by
a Lattimore anyway, but and Ido think Hurt's pretty good with with Bryce
Young there, but I'll go withPits. Maybe they throw the ball a
little bit more this week, andhe did have a thirty yard catch last
week, two catches for what fortythree yards something like that, So I'll
go with Pits or Zay Flowers orMark Cooper. I like a Mark Cooper

(01:03:31):
this week, but I Zay Flowersis he looks like a stud. He
dominated wide receiver targets. Now MarkAndrews is expected to return, but this
should be Zay Flowers wide receiver room. Yeah, and they were featured him
on reverses screen passes, so helooks like the guy for sure. I

(01:03:55):
mean, you know, we markCooper though against Pittsburgh. That's pretty nice
too. Shit, that's a toughone. I'm gonna lean Zay Flowers.
I think he has a higher floorwhere Cooper might have if he gets into
the end zone has a Cooper game. I think he has a higher ceiling.

(01:04:16):
But like floor, I mean,Flowers are gonna bring a floor higher.
Total two in that game forty sixverse thirty and a half. Right,
let's go to ye and absolutely jukingeveryone out of their socks. Last
week, I love him. Yeah, he had a thirty one point three
percent target share thirty two routes onforty eight offensives. A couple more William

(01:04:43):
Stephen has said thank you Anthony startingjustin Jefferson and Addison because he asked should
he start both in the same lineup? And I said absolutely. They're one
of those rare situations where you canand I think you do, so moving
forward, Two more questions from Facebook, Higbee or Hunter Henry? Steve and
I both love Hunter Henry this week, Yeah Hunter Henry, big time,

(01:05:04):
Yeah, big Hunter Henry Guy uhAnti Tyler Higby, And then one more
on Facebook as we close out JamalWilliams mediocre day or Pacheco in a jumbled
backfield against the Jaguars. Kendra Millerlooks like he's leaning towards playing. Uh.

(01:05:27):
They didn't really get too much outof Jamal, so maybe, but
maybe they want to take it easywith Kendre. He's still kind of banged
up. And you know, Idon't know, but I'm gonna go Pacheco.
Yeah, give me Pacheco. Ithink the Chefs. Yeah, the
Chiefs are going to absolutely give everythingthat they have this week's keys back.
Yeah, exactly, give me Pachico. I know it's muddy, it doesn't

(01:05:47):
feel great, but damn right.And uh in these matchups. Last year,
Patico played in two of the three, and you know, twelve ninety
five and then sixteen for eighty two. So he got you a nice high
floor in both of those matchups.If he scores, he's an RB two

(01:06:09):
or better. So like, yeah, I'm gonna go Isaiah Pachico in this
matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Withguys, it's another phenomenal show. We
got through all of your questions.If you're listening in podcast format, you
want to you want your question answeredlive or We'll be back Sunday morning,
ten am Eastern. But until then, for Matt, Steve and myself,

(01:06:30):
this is the face off Sports Network. We'll see you next time.
