Episode Transcript

(00:01):
You're a little overmodulated, that collectionassholes. Oh god, it's time for
the fantasy football guys, dropping loadsof fantasy football knowledge all up in your

(00:23):
ear drums. Here they are Lylecon Keel and Kevin Moore, the fantasy
football guys. Yeah, that's right, we're the fantasy football guys. Kevin
oh Lile and I am more employablethan Josh McDaniel's at this point. I'm

(00:47):
not sure that's hard to do.I gotta tell you that's a large club.
Bro. Yes, sorry about theopening, folks, there was there
was some pre show uh skullduggers ifyou will rip raf and we uh did.
That was a bit of a laughat the beginning. Did Robbie and

(01:10):
I have a laugh? And wellthere was, well at first there,
well you were being a cock,so you know I had to but then
you know, expect exactly that.But uh, and then Robbie came up
with a you're overmodulating, which iswhere the whole thing started. In here
we are with laughing to start theshow and me referring to you two guys
as as buttholes. But you know, it's what we do, it's where

(01:33):
we are, and that's how welive at this moment. Third, buttholes
you come up with, Well,I guess they said assholes to start with,
so I can rock it now,you know, because com yeah,
your mom swims out to meet troopships. You know what I'm saying.
That was a fifth grade anyway.So, as Robbie alluded to at the

(01:53):
beginning, the Raiders just Mark Davisblew his entire team up, and it
was it was. It was along time coming, one year in eight
games coming. Yeah. So sothe general managers out, the offensive coordinators
out, the coach is out,the quarterback is out. So you're gonna

(02:14):
get a new look Raiders this week. Kids. I'm excited if I'm a
Adams owner. Not with Aidan O'Connellat the helm. Sure I am.
It can't get worse. Who elseare you gonna throw to? Sure?
I am Michael Meyer Hunter the offensegreat again, bro, Listen, we

(02:36):
should get hats made up. Dude, I'm serious, you have listen.
I am not exaggerating when I sayJefferson rekill of course a j Brown now,
and dude, Adams he's elite,elite, he is like top three

(03:00):
with when given a quarterback who canI don't know, throw as a vicinity
remotely in his catch radius, whichapparently Jimmy g cannot do. He had
two, not one, two longtouchdowns. One of them would have been
like a ninety nine yarder. That'sright, they were. They were backed
up anywhere near him. But anduh, DeVante Adams got abused, got

(03:23):
some helmet abuse on the sideline alittle bit. So there's a you know,
we we could go into it,but there's a great article on SI
dot com about the you know whathappened. There's you know, player disgruntlement,
owner disgruntled, but they actually therewas like a big blowout from the
blower from the owner after a winthe team didn't play up to expectations.

(03:44):
So yeah, SI dot com hashas a good article on it. But
I thought it was kind of aninteresting thing, not just the coach,
but the GM, the offensive coordinator, the quarterback. It's thrown. Uh
so we'll see how it looks.But uh and Rob you said it can
get work. It can, butat least there's a reason at that point.
Yeah, I mean, the lastcouple of times we've seen well not

(04:08):
every time, but there have beena few times recently where the instagim head
coach comes in and the team winssome games. So you know, I'm
going to talk about the Raiders lateron, But there's some of that.
There's a sometimes a new especially whenit's a head coach that the players don't
particularly like, they can kind ofrally around the guy that steps in for

(04:29):
the rest of the season and there'syou know, a better culture coming around
this the new coach. So thingscould turn around, but it's not like
they're going to make the playoffs oranything. Well, in a lot of
cases, it's this lack of toxicityin the building. I mean, yeah,
you know that can do a lotor thank god that's over. Yeah,
Like how excited to think they werein Jacksonville a couple of years ago
when urban Meyer got shown the door. Oh god, well, I mean

(04:53):
that was a little bit of adifferent scenario. Well ye's considerably different,
but still, I mean, youknow, bad to good women could start
wearing loose pants again because he wasn'tthere, you know, how dare you?
Well that's so that's accurate, butan awful thing to bring incredibly on
it even defensive and take your time. Yeah, I'm good. Also,

(05:15):
trade deadline was Tuesday at four.Washington basically threw themselves into rebuild mode under
the new n by getting rid oftwo of the five, two of the
four defensive linemen, and Chase Youngis now a forty nine er. Lisle
thoughts, I mean, they havethe best defensive line in the NFL.

(05:38):
Now, they should they should?Well, you know, I started seeing
some things like Chase Young's overrated.Well, I don't think he's necessarily overrated.
And if you put him on aline with the rest of those dudes
also hard Grave, I mean,it's that's nasty. Yeah, when an

(05:59):
offensive line can focus on Chase Young, Chase Young maybe not doing as well
as Chase Young. Could you puthim next to I don't know, a
Bosa and a couple of maybe FredWarners in the mix. Yeah, it's
gonna look a little different thing frommister Young. They I think they have
the best defensive line in the NFL. Now here's the thing, though,
Is it better than the best offensiveline in the NFC, which right now

(06:23):
is probably the Eagles. I don'tthink so, Eagles. Detroit has a
pretty good one. Detroit's pretty good. Cowboys have a good line too.
Is as much as they don't liketo admit it. Yeah, they did.
You have a pretty good line.I mean it's yes, but I
don't think it's in the category ofthe best in the NFC. We'll see
this weekend. But what I willsay is it improves their team for sure.

(06:47):
And they got the dude for likepeanuts. Yeah, like according to
his talent right now projected pick eightyfive. Yeah, I mean that's eight
value. Good for them. Imean, the rich get richer. You
know, Eagles got bired. Whatdid the Cowboys do? Remind me the
Cowboys are waiting for their phone toring, right, Yeah, Jerry,

(07:13):
please be healthy. Eat well,yeah, you know that's what I'm That's
what I'm after for Jarah on thatTB twelve diet. Yeah, do something
to live forever. Bro, That'swhat I need you to be that general
manager that you are a nauseum forever. Think. The thing is the Cowboys.
Well, we'll talk about this later. The Cowboys are really good.
They are, but they're streaky.They have good players. They're not great

(07:41):
yet. We'll find out. Ifthey win this game on Sunday, we'll
be in first in the East.There they're the number one team in the
NFC, if not the league.If they win, if they win,
especially in convincing fashion on Sunday,but if they don't, they're relegated back
to the All right, you're midyeah, you know. But again,

(08:03):
like I said a few weeks ago, but after the Cowboys got blown out
by the forty nine ers, Idon't know who good in the NFL.
I don't know. The Chiefs lostto Denver what, Yeah, dude,
that's just crazy. I know Mahome, Mahomes was having the flu and all
that stuff. Still still the Dolphinshung seventy. Yeah, the Chiefs got

(08:28):
nine. I don't know. Idon't know what's happening. I wouldn't imagine
that, you know, seventy percentof Mahomes, who they do with the
flu or you know, coming offof the flu, said he felt better.
I think that's probably better than thirdof the quarterbacks in the NFL.
Maybe more it better be. Yeah, but still three field goals, no

(08:52):
touchdowns for Pat Did he even getinto the red zone? I don't know.
I don't know. I didn't know. Death. It's bananas. That
should never happen. Yeah, andit's not so much about Denver getting the
w it's the Chiefs got the lyou know it's not listen, you get
divisional matchup. It's tough like allthat kind of stuff. I understand,

(09:16):
But that offense has to score atouchdown. Yeah, all they have to
do is hand the ball to thechecko. Denver's run d is awful.
They were for one game that mayhave skewed their stands. They were awful
for three or four games. Okay, fair enough, but they've been better

(09:37):
apparently, but they were really,really really awful for one game. Right,
So, so after last week there'sstill number thirty two, but they're
only three yards a game, I'msorry, three fantasy football points a game
behind the Panthers now instead of sixfantasy points a game that are you know,
fantasy points that they allowed thirty onethis week? Yeash that goals?

(10:00):
Yeah uh so yeah, they're they'repretty bad and better every week. That's
all you can do. That's allyou can ask for. My friends,
Denver have some good pieces on defense. Man, they have some good players.
Well, you know, if youlook at Russell's numbers versus Mahomes's numbers
and you didn't know who was who, you take Russell's numbers and they weren't

(10:20):
great. But they weren't. Imean, Mahomes had one of his statistically
worst performances ever. He was horrible. Yeah, it wasn't good. So
if you're a Broncos fan, you'relike, hey, there's maybe some home
for the future. Maybe Sean's plansstarting to work out a little bit.
It hasn't, I mean, trustthe process, you know. Yeah,

(10:41):
Listen, we've seen the Chiefs earlierthis year against the Jets, right,
and listen, Eagles lost to theJets. They have a good defense.
Uh, you know, weird thingshappen. We've seen we've seen them waiver.
You know, I don't know.No, they lost to the Lions,
you know, at home day game, you close game. Yeah,

(11:07):
but usually that would be a win, like it would be like, you
know, Alabama taken. It shouldhave been probably usually you know, like
Alabama, Georgia, those guys,you know, play some sort of state
school first game of the season,just to warm up Arkansas State, Yeah,
you know Arkansas, you know,Valley State Universital champ you got to

(11:28):
get in there. And but you'restill joke. They aren't. They aren't.
Now they could they could end upas the number one seed in the
NFC, they could they have avery easy schedule coming they do and a
very good team and NFC East teamsin this case Eagles and the Cowboys do
not have an easy schedule for therest of the year. It's we'll see

(11:50):
how to go, all right.So some some injury news, which is
basically what the news is these days. Saquon Barkley limited practice today with an
angle. Wondale Robinson limited with aknee. But really, now there's a
league where I actually had to startWandale last week it didn't go well.
Danny Jones full participant in practice today, which excites me because I have him

(12:13):
in a team and I need him. Oddly, DeAndre Hopkins didn't practice today
with a tow listed is questionable forThursday Night football. Tannehill's out, Will
Levis is in. We may notsee Tannehill on the field when the clock
is running and the Titans uniform again. Scratch might never see him again ever.

(12:37):
Yeah, oh, I mean hecan get it. He can get
a job as a backup for sure. That's why I said Titans uniform as
opposed to any uniform. Yeah,you know, I mean, but we
probably shouldn't. And it's not aknock on Tannehill. And listen, I'm
not overreacting to Levis either. Youknow, stuff happening, new quarterback,

(12:58):
different mechanics, all that kind ofstuff. Bigger arm than Tannehill for sure,
much bigger for sure. Uh.But like, given where they are
as a franchise, they should belooking at the young players, man.
I mean they should absolutely. Imean, obviously you're not going to keep
Tannehill around. He's he's you know, starting to show his age and his

(13:20):
uh you know, his skills aredeclining a bit. Still not bad,
but still uh, you know,not a thirty year old anymore. Like
three years ago, this was areally good football team. Yeah, they
were deep into the playoffs and theyaway players and and so they're in rebuild
mode, and you know, theyshould look at their young talent and if

(13:43):
that doesn't work out, they shoulddraft a quarterback. Yeah, I mean
yeah, I mean they have severalgames now to see if Levis is that
guy, and if he's not,they have a few games to see if
if Malik is that guy. Yep, and if neither of those guys are
that guy, they can get anotherbecause they're gonna they're gonna have a top

(14:03):
half of the draft pick, I'mguessing, so they have time. They're
looking, they're looking top ten atthis point. Actually, if Dobbs hadn't
gone to Minnesota, I wouldn't havebeen shocked to see a trade of Tannehill
to the Vikes. But it didn'twork out. Though. Way, I
absolutely love Dobbs in Minnesota. Itexted Kevin, Uh, this makes me
so excited. I'm serious. Look, I know he didn't had the greatest

(14:24):
game last week, but dude's aballer. Man. Well, I will
say that when Lyle's text did notsay that he was excited, he did
say that a certain part of anatomyhad shall we say, stiffened, and
it was not his resolve, thatis precise. Then I told him that
Chase Younger been traded to San Francisco, and uh, everything went downhill from

(14:48):
there. Well, no more turgidity. That is a that is a flaccid
inducing that's a piece of news.That'll just yeah, yeah. Anyway,
Josh Allen has his shoulder officially listed. His did not practice for Wednesday.

(15:09):
I think could be all right forSunday. Let's see, we got here.
Daryl Henderson signed with the active rosterfor the Rams. He was the
more active back this last weekend,so we'll see how that works out.
Dude, they should keep giving himthe football. Yeah he was. He
was okay last year too. Youknow, Williams, he'd be back in
a couple of weeks. You know, we'll see what happens then. But
I don't know. Darren Waller,the guy who can't seem to stay on

(15:33):
the field, is not going tobe on the field for multiple weeks.
He's got that hammy. Deshaun Watsonback to practice in a limited basis for
the Cleveland Browns. Good for them. Let's see Jeff Driskell signs with the
Cardinals practice squad. Got it,there was room, I guess after they
traded Dobbs and now Jeff driscoll isyour Cardinals practice squad. We're gonna see

(15:54):
Ed O'Connell for the Raiders. Aswe talked about Tyler Hei Taylor, Heineke
is gonna be your Week nine starterfor the Falcons and when they make their
big playoff run for that NFC Southspot. No shock, he or Julio
Jones signed to the Eagles active roster. Let's see here, anything else.
Russul Douglas traded to the Bills.As we saw, Donovan People's Jones traded

(16:18):
to the Lions. Now that kindof slid under the radar of the big
names, but I think that couldbe pretty big. Donovan People's Jones is
a good receiver receiver too. Anythingthey don't have in Detroit, yeah they
do now, but the Yeah,they didn't have that red zone, big
target receiver. So I think thatwas a great addition. Yeah, it
was quiet, it was quiet,and next thing you know, he'll be

(16:41):
in the end Z and people goway. Manue. I thought he was
a Brown, Well you know he'snot. That was actually kind of surprised
at who wasn't moved yesterday. Ireally kind of thought that maybe T Higgins
would go somewhere, maybe Jerry Judy, But now it didn't work out that
way. I wouldn't have expected Higgins. I think the Bengals are still in
the We need as many people onthe team now so we can win games

(17:03):
now. I don't think they wouldhave let T go. Maybe maybe offseason,
yeah, probably, but well,there was some interest in him.
I mean that doesn't mean that theBengals were interested in moving him, but
sure they were certainly taking phone calls, that's for sure. I think if
the Broncos had lost to the Chiefs, I think Judy Inn maybe Sir Tan
would have been gone as well.Yeah. I was kind of hoping the
Chiefs to come back, you know, just so that the Broncos team as

(17:26):
a team wouldn't have hope, right, you know, and they maybe move
Sir Tan to a team, youknow, wearing green in the East.
Not the Jets, the Jaguars.Yeah, they're not that color green.
Bro, all right, you readyto go on in some games, fellas?
I can't wait? Yeah, allright? By teams this week,
Broncos lines, Jags, forty nineers. It's like half of all of

(17:47):
the good players in Fantasy a lot, and none of them are on the
Broncos. Ye, all right,So Tennessee will be traveling to Pittsburgh to
take on the Stillers. Will Leviswe talked about his four touchdowns and have
a pick oddly, but outside ofthose four touchdowns, he was nineteen for
twenty nine and thirty eight four tds. Pretty good. Blew up on my

(18:08):
taxi squad. Yeah, I actuallyhad to play him. I was like,
I got to play Levis, thisis going to be bad, and
he actually did all right. Hewas on my taxi squad in a couple
other leagues, so we'll see howthat works out. We saw Pittsburgh is
fifteenth against fantasy quarterbacks, so it'sa pretty good matchup for him. I
do think, however, that MikeTomlin, you know, may have an

(18:29):
answer for those deep passes, justsaying, obviously, you're gonna play Dereck
Henry in this one. Of course, you're gonna play DeAndre Hopkins in this
one if that toe works out.Really, everybody else is just kind of
you know, Taja Spears maybe ifyou need it for a bye week Phil,
but really, you know, witha rookie quarterback in there, there's
question marks on everybody. So yeah, it's it's Henry and Hopkins and Levis.

(18:55):
If you're desperate from the Pittsburgh side. Can't play Kenny Pickett really,
in the last three games, he'squarterback thirty one. That means only one
quarterback is worse, and it doesn'tmatter what that quarterback's name is. But
Kenny Pickett is not somebody you're gonnaplay Najie Harris and Jalen Warren are running

(19:15):
back. Thirty three and thirty fourin their last three Tennessee is eighth against
running backs. Might want to sitboth of these guys the Thursday Night curse.
The fact that both of these guysproduction sucks. I wouldn't play either
of them. I would play DeontayJohnson. I would play George Pickens.
Deontay Johnson eight for eighty five againstJacksonville. He had fourteen targets, which

(19:36):
is kind of that guy's way ofdoing things. He's massively targeted and every
now and again he can catch himif Pickens can get it nearby. But
in a PPR takes sixteen and ahalf points out out of a wide receiver
too. Pickens didn't do great againstJacksonville, but he did catch a TD
which kind of, you know,bolstered his point production. I'd give him
a go as well against his defense. Nobody else on this offense am I

(20:00):
going to give a go to?Not even had, especially not Connor Hayward.
I hear you, okay, lads, I got a bit of a
barn burner here with Miami and theChiefs in Germany. Can you do it
in a German accent. Please,no, I wouldn't want to be offensive

(20:22):
an old timey German accent that soundsNazi issue. I'm definitely not doing that.
The answer you should have had wasnine. Of course, here's the
thing. I want to play everyonethat I can possibly play in this game.
Durham smythe Sure, no, myhome to check O. Obviously,

(20:45):
I feel like, listen, nota lot of production, but it's enough
for me to get him into mylineup. Rashi rice is is pretty obvious.
I don't know, man like Iwould play pretty much any Chief I
had. Kelsey's obvious. Yeah,of course, McKinnon even maybe maybe I

(21:10):
was. I was so worried thatthe Chiefs would actually get a good receiver
before the deadline. I know,like, what if they had Dehap or
no, what if they had DevonteAdams. Well, j said that he
was not on the Yeah, you'renot going to trade in division. Nobody's
going to give them to the Chiefs. So Judy and DeVante were off the
table. But there were a coupleothers out there. There were like,

(21:34):
like I said, but and Igotta be honest, like any viable dolphin
I would play as well. Imean, can't bench toa you know,
he's he's got a bunch of multipletouchdown games. I don't know if you're
aware he's an MVP candidate to uhtongue my what uh? Most of I

(21:57):
would play. Listen, I fortysix yards forty five the week before.
I know that's not great, butthe guy scored. He's got one game
one where he didn't score a touchdown. He has one game where he scored
four touchdowns, and and a lotof times he scores multiples, right,
So he's a mustard. I mighteven get Jeff Wilson a go. People

(22:23):
forget how good that dude is.They do Rieka has one game where he
didn't score a touchdown. It wasagainst Buffalo. Dudes on track to break
that two thousand yard receiving nough totally. I mean, he's got a grand
after eight games. So you can'teven you can't even throw the extra game
in and be like, oh,yeah, well it's seventeen games. Heason.

(22:44):
Now he's got one thousand and fourteenyards after eight weeks. You know
who else is really really close tothat thousand yard mark? Brow? So,
I mean the thing is, youknow, obviously you're gonna play him,
play Wattle two like. He's gotthree touchdowns in his last four games,
and the game he didn't score wasagainst Philadelphia, but he caught all

(23:07):
six of his targets in that game. So yep, play everybody and just
forget about it. Be happy yougot them. All right. Now,
it's time to go to the onlygood game I have this week. I
really got some stinkers this week.I blame you for that. Hey,
I did what I could. Idon't believe you. I did what I

(23:30):
could. All right, Well wehave Seattle going to Baltimore. This is
the battle of the five and twobirds. Minute it's a stinker. This
is the only good the only goodone, all right. I got Rams,
Packers, Commanders, Patriots, Giants, Raiders. Maybe that I've pretty
much covered the games already, SoSeattle going to Baltimore. Seattle, I

(23:56):
guess, is winning games and isa good team. But the fantasy production
from the players has been kind ofup and down, not very much consistency.
Gino Smith ended last year's like quarterbackfive or six in most leagues,
and he's right now quarterback twenty two. He's only had one game where he
had more than twenty fantasy points.I mean, if you're averaging seventeen or

(24:19):
eighteen as a quarterback, that's notbad, but you know, you want
to have a couple games where youhave multiple touchdowns. He's only got a
couple games where he's thrown two,but he's not thrown three ever. Baltimore
has a very good defense against therun and against the pass, So I
don't really know if he should beyour QB one this week. You maybe

(24:41):
can stot him into QB two ifyou are in one of those leagues,
but I'm kind of low on himuntil we see some solid games in a
row. But they have a prettytough schedule, not quite as tough as
the NFC East teams do, butthey do have to play San Francisco two
times, Dallas and Philly in thenext eight weeks. So kind of out

(25:06):
on Gino there. Kenneth Walker's prettygoddamn amazing though, isn't he So yeah,
pretty good at running the football there, didn't have a great game last
week. Charbone actually outtouched him.He did out touch him. I'm not
really concerned about his production though.I don't think there's gonna be a change
in the backfield because I mean,we've seen what kennth Walker has done in

(25:26):
the past two years. I thinkyou're gonna start him even if it's a
bad matchup. Just he's just oneof those guys you're not gonna put on
the on the bench. Same withDK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. If you
have them on your team, you'reprobably gonna throw him in there. DK
has been the target leader in thepast couple of weeks, even though the
production isn't there. Uh, Imean, fourteen targets last week only five

(25:49):
catches kind of brutal leads leads backto what I was saying about Geno Kanna
not being great. Lockett has beenin the same kind of inconsistent boomer bust
player we've always known him to be. You know, twenty two points last
week eight the week before big playdependent. Yeah, very similar to to

(26:10):
Gabe Davis where he gets you abunch of points one week and the next
he doesn't really get you anything.This is gonna be a game. If
they want to win, they're goingto have to get the ball in his
hands. So I'd throw him inthere. Jackson Smith and Jigba and Jake
Bobo. I don't know if youknow about this, Lyle, but I'm
a I'm a Bobo enjoyer. That'swhat I was. He's enthusiast. I

(26:32):
was aware. I'm a Bobo enthusiast, an evangelist if you will. Yeah,
I just remember that's what I wasgoing to say at the beginning of
the show. I said, Iwas a Bobo enjoyer. Uh, this
is a second we can roll witha touchdown? That was that was that
would have been pretty good intro man. Yeah, well, I feel I
feel like it did okay today I'msorry, all right, fine, it

(26:52):
was better than most, but youcould do better. You have all a
week to work on him. Ijust I forget that I need And until
i'd sit down at the table,I'm like, man, I have no
idea what I'm saying. Let mecome up with something. That's kind of
how we work this show. Wehave for nineteen no I know. So
anyway back to Bobo, this ishis second week with a touchdown. Last

(27:14):
week came on the ground week beforein the air with a great catch.
By the way, I don't knowif you saw that, but it was
pretty incredible, fantastic Yeah, itwas very bobitious. Yes, the bobiscuitude
was high. He's the fourth receiveron this team, so really the expectation
for him to do anything is prettylow. But since we've seen him utilized
on the offense the past two weeks, if you need to fill in for

(27:38):
the twenty seven good players that areon by this week, and he's sitting
there looking at you all, bobitiously, you know, put him in there.
Give the kid a shot. Ithink Jackson's been the Jigua is more
likely to score points. But again, these two, there's a three and
four on this team. Chans arestill pretty low regardless. Yeah, wins

(28:02):
one and two or Metcalf and locketthree four. You know, I don't
expect much from him, but youknow they might score a touchdown. On
the other side of the football,Ravens are a little bit easy to figure
out. You're gonna play Lamar Afterthe past two weeks, I think you're
gonna guaranteed play Gus Edwards. He'sbeen playing out of his mind. He

(28:22):
does that. He does a coupleof games a year. He's just a
mad man. Yeah, and theSeahawks defense isn't really phenomenal, So I
think he could put up another hundredyards, So throw him in there.
He's probably got a higher ceiling thanflex. This week, I think Zay
Jones is really good. He's gettingtargeted like a monster. Obviously you're gonna
start Mark Andrews. Aside from that, everyone else is kind of you got

(28:48):
questions Odell might catch a touchdown.He showed up in a trade offer for
me this week, and I waslike, really, you're you're trying to
entice me with Odell Beckham? Yeah, is this twenty sixteen? If it
was, I just said yes,yeah, because the other player never mind,
I'm not gonna dude, might listen. It was a horrible Dell didn't

(29:12):
didn't. Oh he got worse lyleOh it was the Uh it's a Kareem
Hunt was the other one. Yeah, and this is a dynasty, you
know, Okay, Yeah, andthere was a it's not a bad play,
well no, but for a dynastyin a trade where they want my
first and second round pick next year, it's not good. It's not good.

(29:34):
Yeah, you've done with that horriblegame over there. Uh yeah,
pretty much everyone but those four peoplein the Ravens are not going to be
super useful aside from the random touchdown. You all right, so I got
Minnesota in Atlanta here, speaking ofof lousy games, this is where it
starts. Well, you know,Minnesota might have been an alright situation if

(29:56):
if Kirk was still there. It'snot gonna be Josh Dobbs this week,
but it probably will be next week. He's a smart dude. I'm sure
he's gonna have the play He's gotthe playbook already, kidding me. It's
gonna be Jaron Hall. His seasonnumber so far, three out of four
for twenty three yards. I'm expectingpretty much everybody in this team to regress

(30:17):
towards the mean past the mean.Yeah, probably, I'm looking. Yes,
I'm gonna start Jordan Addison regardless.I'm gonna start TJ. Howkinson Air,
regardless of who the quarterback is.Madison, dude's been a top twelve
running back exactly zero times this year. He's been a top twenty four running
back exactly four times this year.I don't expect this to be the fifth

(30:38):
week or the first week for runningback, you know, running back one
numbers. Not thinking it. Imay start kJ Olisbourne as well, he's
been relatively busy lately with Jefferson out. If you're looking for a bye week,
Phil kJ Olisbourne might be Okay,they're gonna have to throw the football.
We know this. Maybe not though, because because the Falcons bench Desmond

(31:02):
Ritter and it's going to be TaylorHeineke as we mentioned earlier. So you're
gonna have basically two backup quarterbacks thisweek. Now, maybe Heinike is going
to be the starter from here onout, so we'll have to see.
But the quarterback play in this gamequestionable at best, right, So yeah,
okay, start b John Robinson.You know, Kyle Pitts had two

(31:23):
great games against Houston and Washington kindof fell back to earth. But he's
playable, all right. Drake Londonsolid wide receiver two flex into PPR if
it was Ritterer. We don't knowwhat Heineke's going to do. But the
thing is I do he can't domuch worse. Well, well, we
know from Heinekee playing for the Commanderslast year, is he actually will throw

(31:44):
it to the receivers rather than therunning backs. I'm sorry, rob I
need to interrupt. You were theythe Commanders last year? They were?
Yeah, okay, all right.So the previous year they were a football
team. Last year they were commanded. I called him the command Skins.
Sure, I just I just wantto keep my ears straight and uh not

(32:05):
falter when it comes to name itunderstandable. And I respect you for that,
Thank you. I don't respect youfor a lot of other things,
though, I just want to getsure. That's a pretty long list,
Frank, nor should you, butI will. I will die on that
sword. I want to name themcorrectly. Rob Gronkowski on national television called
them the Redskins the other day,and I clutched my pearls. Did you

(32:29):
I had to clutch that? Wasthere a minuscule tightening of the sphincter.
Whendn't that happen? I wouldn't evencall it minuscule, it was. It
was a full on pucker, Robot, a full on pucker. Oh no,
I've got that image in my head. You're welcome your puckered buttle.

(32:51):
Now everyone else does too. Nowwe devolve. Yeah, Anyway, I
was gonna say, honestly, havingHeineke in their quarterback might be better for
the pass catchers that aren't running backsbecause it's tough. But you can't really
tell you. Dude's been du allyear and so Drake, Kyle, I
don't know you're ready to be hurtagain with Kyle Pitts. I don't have

(33:14):
any show. I think I haveno shoes. Kyle. I'll start Bijon
because you know anybody can hand off, right, maybe even Tyler Algier if
you need, you know, aflex. But after that, no,
thank you? Are you done?Kevin? All right? Boy? Do
I got a bar Murner here?Cardinals Browns. You want to talk about

(33:37):
a QB battle? We got ClaytonTune versus p J. Walker. I
don't know if you're starting someone inthis game that's not named Kareem Hunt.
I'm sorry. I feel bad foryou. Yeah, is that it kind

(33:59):
of like, uh, you know, Hollywood does some stuff, so I
guess play him. I actually Tremonbridewent all the way off against Baltimore with
fourteen targets and ten catches. Yeah, I have to mention that. Well,

(34:19):
you know, nobody likes a tightend better than a rookie quarterback,
right, yeah, I mean,and he has been thrown to He was
t two uh in in in standardleagues and te one in PPR leagues,
So I have to mention that he'sa great addition. Yeah, from from

(34:43):
the brown side. Jerome Ford isjust not getting it done because he doesn't
get a lot of touches. CreamHunt does he gets more touches. He
scored four touchdowns in the last threegames. Nice, gotta play him.
I played Cooper two. David Joegrew best tired in the NFL had a

(35:05):
touchdown last week as well. Youknow, he's a guy. Hey,
he's most of the time, he'stop ten in the PPR. So he's
ten, yeah or eleven. Yeah, but yeah, it's not great whatever.
I'm out all right. Next,we've got the Los Angeles Rams going

(35:30):
up to Green Bay to play thePackers. I just want to go on
record of seeing all these games suckand it wasn't my fault. I think
there's only three games this for threeor four games this week that don't suck,
right, and each of us hadone of them that was by design.
One of us has two of themwho I don't know anyway, she
Lyle has Cowboys Eagles, so hegot two of them. Okay, uh

(35:52):
yeah, so what again? Soyou have the Cowboys Eagles game don't you.
I do. That's the game ofthe month, of the week of
the year. So he's got twogood games and each of us, you
know, anyway, go ahead.So for the Rams here, I think
Stafford is maybe a QB two.Really he's only thrown up to two guys,

(36:13):
Pooka and Cooper, but it's enough. He's not putting up great numbers
any week. But you know,you have four quarterbacks going by, so
chuck him in there if you needto, but have very low expectations for
him. You're talking about Dryl Hendersonearlier. I think he probably is flexible,
flexworthy. Green Bay's defense is notgreat. I mean they just trade

(36:36):
away one of their better defensive players, so run game might open up for
the Rams. We've seen them havegreat success running the ball earlier in this
season, so Henderson could end uphaving a pretty big game. So I
actually kind of like him. Idon't have any shares of him in any
of my twenty five leagues somehow,but if you have him, go ahead,
throw him in there. There's acouple of guys, a couple of

(37:00):
pass catchers, Coope or Coop andPuka. You got you heard of these
too, Puka and Cup Yeah,Coop, Yeah, I've heard of them.
Yeah, they're pretty good. Theydidn't have great games last week.
I don't think I either got aboveten points. But if you look a
little bit further back, these twoare both animals. Somehow both of them

(37:24):
are getting like fourteen targets a gameand catching a good amount of them because
there's really nobody else to throw to. Yeah, I mean that's still crazy.
Yeah, these two are both likelocked in wide receiver ones. If
they're on your team, they shouldbe in your lineup, irregardless of matchup,

(37:46):
irregardless of anything. You want themon your team. And two two
is not a bad flags either,because he still gets five to seven targets
a game, which isn't bad.Sure, not bad at all, Tyler
Higbee. Now for the Packers,Yeah, they're not playing good football.

(38:06):
I said it last week that theyweren't playing good football, and they continued
not playing good football. I sawtoday that the GM of the Packers would
not commit to Jordan Love as hisquarterback of the future. That's interesting.
Yeah, so, I mean I'mnot really confident in any of those players
to do much. I would probablynot play Jordan Love this week. I

(38:32):
think if you have to play aPacker, I would do your best to
not have to put them in anactual starting spot. Put him in as
a flex because that's probably their ceilinguntil you can actually see them play good
football. I'm not really sure what'swrong, because the first four weeks Jordan
Love was like QB two, theteam was I don't think therefore now,

(38:52):
but the play calling is horrendous becausehe can't understand the playbook, which he's
surprised to me because he's had aplaybook for four years and he can't well
he can't get past the second readeither. He just doesn't get past it.
Yeah, he's like, you know, so once they once defense has
figured that out, it was veryeasy. Sure. Yeah, So all

(39:15):
that in mind, I'm not surei'd play any of these Packers. If
I had to pick one gun tomy head, it's probably Aaron Jones.
But even that guy is, youknow, a twelve point a week dude
at this point. Best. Allright, so speaking allows your games Chicago
traveling to New Orleans, Oh god, So you know it's easy to say,

(39:37):
well, you got a rookie inthere, Tyson bagent H and he's
not performing well, and you're right, but the offensive line is atrocious for
this team. So whether it's Fieldsor Bageant, well, if it's Fields,
you know the opposing defense doesn't youknow, it isn't able to load
the box like they are when whenBeigeent's in there, Because we saw Deontay

(40:00):
Foreman go from one hundred and twentyyard two or three touchdown game, followed
that up with a thirty six yardzero touchdown game, kind of like the
defense figured out that maybe they're goingto try to run the ball. He
didn't get a whole lot, andRoshan Johnson came back and you know he
had just as much success. Soif Fields is in there, then I
would feel comfortable playing her or playingForeman and Johnson with Bigent not so much.

(40:25):
DJ Moore is DJ Moore. Youcan't not play the guy. He's
down a bit with Baigent, buthe's still, you know, at least
flexworthy no matter who you have.Cole Comet ten catches on ten targets in
seventy nine yards last week's second bestgame of his season. So again the
young quarterback with the tight end inthis case, it seems to be working.

(40:46):
Comet is is it? You know, more than just a guy as
we've seen, and he's a guyi'd play really though on this team.
Dj Moore and everybody else has questionmarks. From the New Orleans side,
we saw Derek Carr have a youknow, melt down on the sideline.
Since then, he's been quarterback ninelast three weeks, eighteen points a game,

(41:07):
Chicago's twenty ninth against fantasy quarterbacks,allowing over eighteen points a game,
eighteen points a game both sides.Something's got to give, all right.
I'll give Derek Carr roll this weekagainst the Bears spotty Swiss cheese defense.
Sure of course you're gonna play AlvinKamara if you've got him. The guy's
been a madman of late, anddude, I would roll some me some

(41:28):
Rashid Shaheed. Last week, dudehad three fifty one yard catches. I
benched him. He only had threecatches, but yeah, each one of
them was for fifty one yards,three for three, one hundred and fifty
three yards a touchdown. So hehad three fifty one yard catches. It's
crazy. The week before that,against Jacksonville, he only had you know,

(41:50):
four catches for twenty eight the weekbefore that, he caught two of
six targets for eighty five yards,also a touchdown. So yeah, dude's
you know, touchdowns depending, bigplay dependent, but he seems to get
his chances at those on the regular. And you know, for a flex
you you kind of want to boomrobust guy lightning in a bottle lyle.
That's what you're looking for. UhOh. By the way, Taysom Hill,

(42:15):
we talked about him last week,same thing applies. What do you
do last week? He was tightend one anyway. I mean, dude,
yeah, I think you have toplay him. I mean I picked
him up in a couple of weekshe was on the bench or on the
waiver wire. Give the Mormon arole? Why not? God do it?

(42:37):
Uh? I don't know how Ikeep getting these guys. Bucks Houston
cool? Would you would have ratherhad Bears Saints? Now about a commander
play Baker Mayfield? If you needa quarterback will He's not horrible most of
the time, but endorsement, yeah, thank you. He does tend to

(43:01):
give the ball away. He hadtwo thirty seven, two touchdowns, no
interceptions last week. How many fumbleszero? Actually had one, but he
didn't had twenty one points last week. Week before it was seventeen point two.
He was QB eleven and ten respectivelyin those games. It's okay.

(43:22):
Rashad White is a must start ina PPR, a non start in any
other format. Evans keep catching touchdowns. He's only got two games where he
hasn't caught one, so got toplay him. Not great though. God

(43:42):
would have finally gotten the end zonelast week. That was nice to see,
but he hasn't done it much.I still think he's a flex no
matter. Was it a contract herefor Godwin. No, he's signed a
contract before last season. Yeah.I think it was years though, so
I think next year it will bea contract year. Yeah, not gonna

(44:06):
knock. Gonna talk about Kate Ottonfrom the Houston side. C J.
Stroud is a quarterback in the NFL. I wouldn't I wouldn't play him,
but uh, you know by weeks, super flex, all that kind of
stuff. I understand. He's nothorrible, dude. He's not gonna throw
a lot. He's got one pickon the year, right, So he

(44:28):
also lost two fumbles. People don'ttalk about that, but he did.
But they were the first two gamesof the year. He hasn't done that.
Since he's not a horrible option,he's not gonna get you a lot
of points, right, I meanlast week was his best week at twenty
three or sorry, uh, weekfour was his best best week at twenty

(44:50):
one. Right, so last weekhe had twelve against Carolina. To you
and me, yeah, Pierce isa non starter. I love Nico,
but he was you know, comeon inconsistent. All right, it's stupid,

(45:15):
Come on next. So are youdone? Yeah, I'm done?
Okay, time for my barn burner. We got the Washington Commanders going to
the Patriots, as I've said acouple of times now, coming off a
fantastic offensive performance against the Eagles,much to our chagrin because it was quite

(45:36):
stressful. But still Man has playedpretty well. Sam Howe's QB eight right
now, guys, you had aalmost four hundred yard day. Yeah,
three yards shy of four hundred thirtyfifty two passes, thirty nine completions,
three hundred and nine and seven yards, four touchdowns, one pick. Pretty

(45:57):
good day against one of the betterdefenses the league. And it's not rare
that he does this. He hasallegedly, yes, his four other games
this season where he's scored more thantwenty points. He's been in the top
ten of quarterback finishes three times afterlast week, in the top fifteen six
times. So he's having a goodyear. The team just isn't winning games,

(46:21):
which is what you love to seefrom a division opponent, honestly,
so I think you start him.The Patriots have a tough defense, or
at least a tough defensive scheme,but still he's putting up good numbers.
Same Ki Be said for basically everybodythat catches a pass, not in the
backfield. I think everybody caught atouchdown last week, but Claren had one,

(46:44):
Dodson had one, Sammy didn't playbut was Byron Pringle caught a touchdown,
didn't Logan Thomas. Thomas caught one. Yeah, everyone's catching touchdowns,
so throw them all in except AntonioGibson in my flex right, Yeah,
the running backs aren't really doing anything. They're averaging like eight points a week,
nine points a week in a PPR, So maybe fade those guys and

(47:05):
see you see some good especially againstNew England they have a pretty solid run
defense. I wouldn't play them,but play Terry Johan Dotson is finally had
a real game. I don't knowif it's gonna continue, so maybe proceved
caution there, but at least heshowed us he can actually do it at
all. Curtis Sammy plays, He'she's a great flex option too. He'll

(47:27):
take handoffs, he'll catch passes.He kind of does it all. He's
pretty good. Logan Thomas is oneof the more targeted tight ends in the
league, but also kind of overlookedbecause he's old as dirt. He's thirty
two. He's not really that old, but a pretty good option to tight
end if you need one. Otherside of things, Patriots who think I

(47:51):
saw this this little riddle, Ithink one of my friends told it to
me. I'm gonna ask you guysa question here. Which player would you
rather have? You may have seenthis one already, Kevin. Player one
has fifty eight receptions, seven hundredand fifty two receiving yards and two touchdowns
on the year. The second playersixty five receptions, seven hundred yards but

(48:15):
three touchdowns. Which player would yourather have? Lyle pass I'll take I'll
take one one, all right.So wide receiver one with fifty eight receptions
seven to fifty two and two touchdowns. Is Puka Nakula the second player with

(48:36):
sixty five receptions sixty receptions, sevenhundred yards, three touchdowns. That is
the entire Patriots offense. Wow,so Puka is out scoring basically almost except
for the touchdown. Seven reception shyfifty two mill yards, one fewer touchdown

(48:58):
than the entirety of the Patriot It'sreceiving offense. That's uh terrible. Yeah,
that's kind of thing they can geta head coach fired. Oh wait,
he just signed an extension. Nevermind, With that in mind,
I'm not playing anybody on this team. I have to play Remandre in a
few places, but honestly, he'sthe only one that is going to do

(49:20):
anything in this game. I guessthe luck of the Jaw for them is
that they Commanders just traded away twoof their better defensive linemens, So the
run game might kind of get popping. I arguably one in three is what
they just traded away. Alan's stillthere, yeah anyway, Yeah, so
maybe Ramandra might have a good day, but everyone else is gonna I'm saying

(49:45):
no. All right, Speaking ofterrible games, the Colts and the Panthers.
It's not like I gave myself goodgames. Phyllis so over the last
three weeks. Guys, Gardner Minshewthe stash over the last three weeks.
He's quarterback seven. I know whatyou're thinking, that's crazy talk. Dude

(50:05):
had a four touchdown game against Clevelandwhere he threw for two and ran for
two. He was quarterback three thatweek. So I'm not saying you got
to rush right out to play him. But if you have bye week hell
or you know, you need asecond quarterback in your in your super flex,
could do worse than Gardner against thisporous Panthers defense. Jonathan Taylor is

(50:27):
an RB two or a flex.You know this. Zach Moss is a
solid RB two in his last fourNow you go, well, Jonathan Taylor
came back. Yeah, but exceptfor a stinker against Cleveland. You know,
he had a thirty five point gameand a half point PPR against Tennessee,
almost fifteen points against Jacksonville, andalmost fourteen points against New Orleans.
So even though he's RB two allegedlyin that offense, he's still playable.

(50:52):
I gotta play Michael Pittman. Heis a solid top twelve wide receiver in
his last three over eighteen points agame for Pittman downs also in his last
four over sixteen points per game.So as Minshew goes, I guess he's
receivers going. Minsh's going, allright, So Pittman and downs for sure.

(51:13):
No tight ends of course. Fromthe Carolina side, it's Adam Thielen
and I'm out. Fair enough.Game of the week, of the month,
of the year, of the seasonof the millennia. Perhaps, okay
until next week Cowboys Eagles in Phillyfour to twenty five. LFG Fellas,

(51:37):
LFG Fellas, I'm starting everybody inthe entire stratosphere. Kenny game game.
Yes, what's that Kenny Gainwell,sure, yeah, I'm throwing in there,
yep, as a flex for sure. Do we still have Tray Sermon
on the team? No we donot. No, he's not on all

(51:59):
right, Trey Sermon is. Iwould love to see him anyway, we
digress. Dak has his best gameof the year last week against the Rams.
Not really a shock, you know, they beat him up a little
bit, uh, you know,and listen, his second best game of

(52:21):
the year was Week six against theChargers, So he's playing well not sure
about the running backs, but Iwould play Polo. I mean, you
know Eagles run de is good,but there's too many points to go around
in this one. I want apiece of it. CD is obvious.

(52:42):
I'd play Brandon Cooks too. He'sgot touchdowns at two straight games. Ferguson
actually caught a touchdown last week.I was surprised about that. Not necessarily
jumping on his bandwagon, but Iwill tell you, if you're desperate for
a tight end, Philly actually isone of the worst teams in the league
in guarding tight ends. Now theygot a new safety, might be different,

(53:02):
but just telling you they've been badagainst tight ends for like feels like
years, like yeah, since I'vebeen tracking stats, they've been bad at
covered tight ends. Jalen Arts alsohad had his best game of the year
last year. By the way,he's only not been top ten once this
season top five twice. I thinkhe's currently quarterback one. Isn't he that

(53:29):
current? That one game was Weekone, by the way, where he
was not top ten. He's prettygood. I want to play him.
DeAndre Swift, you know we hada touchdown last week. I know his
numbers have come down a little bit. I expect them to try to run
against Dallas, and I don't knowthey'll be successful. But that's how you

(53:49):
can have Dallas. The two teamsthat beat them ran the ball all over
them, including you know, ArizonaCardinals who have one win, and it's
that win which might want to playa J. Brown made everybody on this
show extremely happy. I'm going outon a limb. Yeah, you're gonna
play a J. Gonna play him. Devoda Smith has been fantastic quietly but

(54:16):
he's always solid, always good,especially at a PPR. Would play him.
Uh. Dallas oddly can be hadat the tight end position as well.
Would definitely play guardard. I wanta part of this game. Start
game, well, start anybody youcan that plays significantly. I would not
be anything about this game, however, new I would not do. Here's

(54:38):
the thing, man, I haveno idea what's gonna happen in this game.
I have no idea. Eagles havetheir problems, Dallas has theirs.
Uh. Dallas beats up on weakteams and then in tough games tends to
fold. Eagles tend to play downthat their competition. I don't know what's

(54:58):
gonna happen. I would say thisif I was gonna bet something, I
bet the over. This is gonnabe forty to forty, which means I'm
betting the under. Yeah, ifyou say the over, I'm going under.
I mean they held the Dolphins toten off at the points, but
then the Commanders dropped thirty one.Yeah, Commanders always play Eagles tough.

(55:21):
I don't understand that. Yeah,I don't either. Yeah, if you
can, you can play a calfforty sacks on the ear Eagles get one.
Yeah, I don't understand that.Yeah, this is the NFL.
I don't know who's good. Yeah, all right, you wrapped up there.
Now you got you more? I'mdoing I'm done. All right,
my last game this weekend. Youguys each have one more? I got.

(55:45):
The Giants go into the reform toLas Vegas Raiders. Well cool.
The number of question marks in thisgame is like a Riddler puzzle. Daniel
Daniel Dimes, Daniel Times, DanielJones might play this week. I think
he practiced in fully. He hasno limitation, so he should be up.

(56:07):
I don't think it's gonna matter becausehe's throwing to nameless receivers. That
aren't really doing anything for him.His number one, number two target behind
Saquon Barkley. Darren Waller could beout for a couple of weeks, so
he's stolen to Dan Bellinger, whowas all right last year. But he's

(56:27):
not Waller. He's not Waller.Wandaale Wanda had one target last week.
Like the receiving gor for this teamis horrible. I don't know if you
know this. Saquon Barkley took thirtysix handoffs last week. Good lord,
that's ridiculous. Now he got overone hundred yards, so I hope so
you gotta play Saquon, and youprobably could play Daniel Jones because he's probably

(56:49):
gonna just have to run because noone's ever going to be open, So
he might end up with one hundredyards on the ground too. But I
wouldn't feel good about it. Andthat's the only person on that team.
It's nobody who played. Is DannyJones feels good about it? That's that's
fair. Yeah, especially Brian Dabole. So for the Raiders, we're talking
about them at the top of theshow. I don't rely know what to

(57:13):
think about this. Before I sawthe news that the entire front office and
coaching staff had been fired. Iwas going to tell you to sit pretty
much everybody. I was going totell you to sit DeVante Adams. But
coach is gone, Jams, everybody'sgone, quarterbacks gone, like, so
I don't really know what's gonna happen. I mean, so you must well

(57:34):
play Javanta. Might as well playhim, Yeah, because if if everything
is kind of up in the air, DeVante's going to go up and get
it. I just came up withthat right now. I feel pretty good
about it, and you explained itI did, yeah, which which made
it even funny. Exactly, SoI go for Devanta Adams. I think
Jacobe Myers still has value even whenthe team's playing poorly. He still gets

(57:58):
his targets. Dash a GEPs isprobably gonna be relied on a little bit,
you know, as a as aformer rushing leader on a team with
a questionable quarterback, they're probably gonnarun. But watching him the other night,
man, it looked like he wasalmost like running in quicksand he had
like no burst at all. Wellthat's what happens when you have eight in
the box. Yeah, I mean, like when he took the hand off.
He had no burst. When youknow you've got two linebackers in the

(58:19):
defensive tackle about the hit, you'renot you're not in a hurry to get
to the line of cribmage? Right, fair enough anyway, just saying,
yeah, it's just I have noidea what's gonna happen if you need to
fill a bye week. Throw inMichael Meyer. He's been he's been catching
passes recently. Uh eh, somany question marks without the team. I

(58:43):
don't really know what to do.I do them all. If you'd asked
me yesterday, I would have saidto them all. But today, who
knows where things happen. Maybe theteam will be energized. So I got
the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals.He was pretty good one. I guess
it's the Sunday nighter, all right, So of course you're gonna play Josh
Allen. I'm gonna do that.James Cook Week seven against New England,

(59:07):
he was running back eight. Yeah, that's basically one time in his last
four games where he's been a decentrunning back at top twelve running back Lombardi
Lenny is in town, ladies andgentlemen, I doubt that he gets much
action this week, but he's intown. They're not bringing him in for

(59:27):
nothing. So I wouldn't look forLatavious Murray, and I would look for
actually less from James Cook in thefuture. This week. I don't know
that he gets much action. Iwouldn't worry about him. Of course,
you're gonna play Steph Diggs. You'regonna play Gabe Davis as well. I'm
kind of interested in Khalil Shakir alittle bit for the future. Not quite
this week maybe, but he's aguy I see if he was available on

(59:49):
the wire and stash him on thebench for future use. Dalton Kincaid top
ten tight end the last two weeksover fifteen to seventeen points twice. Man
mad at myself. Well, it'sit's he's a really exciting young player.
He is, I mean, butyou know, Dalson Knox still is in
there and get some action. ButI think Kincaid is clearly the tight end

(01:00:12):
to have for this explosive offense.So yeah, Lyle from here on that
man, I'd play that dude,I think I will. Yeah, he'll
stop catching touchdowns. Well, ofcourse it'll be Knox then, but uh
yeah, I mean, obviously,plenty of people to play on this Bills
team. From the Cincinnati side,I'm playing pretty much every starting skill position
except for IRV Smith. You know, I'm gonna play Joe Burrow. He's

(01:00:35):
back to being Joe cool, Joeshisty, whatever you want to call him.
Mixon is actually getting enough action forhimself to be useful. You're gonna
play Jamar Chase t Higgins is actuallystarting to look like t Higgins again.
Obviously, when Burrow's playing better,the receivers are going to look better.
Tyler Boyd is flexible, So I'mgoing to say yes to all of those
dudes except for earth Smith and maybeeven him if you're desperate for a tight

(01:00:59):
end in a in a bye week. Why do the Bengals always do this?
Why don't they start suck early?And well? Because Burro always gets
hurt in camp. It's still like, I just don't they're such a good
team obviously, Yeah, I mean, you know, San Francisco is a
good team. They went there andbeat him who knows, but you know

(01:01:20):
it. For some reason, Burroweither gets appendicitis, you know, tweaks
a calf something, but that hasnothing to do with how the defense plays.
But Burrow comes back and you know, lifts everybody. So here we
are, last game. This isnot a good one, Charters Jets.
Uh, you know what, Herbert, You're obviously gonna play. He had

(01:01:42):
a fantastic game against Chicago. Iwould expect his numbers to fall considerably in
this game, you know. Imean, the Jets have a legitimately good
defense, So temper your expectations.But I think you still have to play
him. Actually, you're obviously gonnaplay. You're gonna play Keenan Allen.

(01:02:04):
I might even sneak Alan Lazard inthere a little bit. I know that
sounds crazy, but against fantasy widereceivers, the Jets can be had.
Well, you know, Lazard playsfor the Jets. That's what I just
said. Oh sorry, I'm talkingabout dang it, That's not how I
was. I was talking about GeraldEverett. I looked at lazard stuff.

(01:02:28):
Against fantasy tight ends, the Jetscan't be had. I'm terrible at this,
eighteen and a half years in.Yeah, I know, this is
what I do. And Everett hasscored two touchdowns in the last two weeks.
Listen, He's only caught three passesin those games. Okay, he's

(01:02:51):
not good, but at tight end, what else you got if you get
on Taysom Hill or else he orhe's goddard or you know whoever, And
I would definitely, I would definitelyconsider him. I don't think I can
recommend obviously not their defense. Andthat's funny because this is a prime matchup

(01:03:15):
for a Streamabowl defense. But notthis week. No, not gonna play
Wilson. He's tiny. He didscore a touchdown last week, which broke
his record of or his streak ofnot scoring touchdowns and games. Yeah,
he's actually looked not awful. Helooked not awful against the Giants, and
he still threw for two forty anda touchdown. The previous two weeks he

(01:03:39):
had zero touchdowns, including a gameagainst Denver. Now you know Denver's defense
has gotten better. But whatever,Bristol is a top running back in the
NFL. If this guy was ona good team, good god. It
kind of makes me wonder why thehell they got Dalvin Cook. To be
honest with you, they're not usinghim. He didn't and didn't trade him.

(01:04:00):
I guess he's insurance for if Bricegoes down again, but I was
shocked that they signed him a weekaway from Brece Hall coming back. You
had hard work touchdowns two weeks orthree weeks in a row. There was
a bye week Week seven, sothat doesn't count. But last week dude
caught six passes for seventy six yardsin a touchdown. Wow. Against Philly,
he caught five for fifty four anda PPR. That's craziness, great

(01:04:26):
numbers. Gotta play him, AlanLazard, here we go, Alan Lazard,
the Jets, Alan Lazard, theJets. Ala Wilson, you have
to play Obviously, I would playLizart again against this horrible Chargers defense.
He's not great, but in aflex situation, especially in a PPR,

(01:04:47):
I would give him a nod becauseof the matchup. Tyler Concklin is unplayable
and uh, you should look elsewhere. He was tight end to eighty one
last week because he caught zero passeson two targets. So God, this
is a Monday night game. Iwasn't sure there were eighty one tight ends
playing in the league on any givenweek. He was tight end eighty one.

(01:05:12):
So because he was oh for two, that means somebody who was oh
for oh, probably scored quote unquotebetter than him. No, he had
zero points, so I guess.But but that, like you know,
week one he had zero point twopoints and he was tight end forty seven.
Yeah, so every one. Sothat's that's as good as a guy
sitting on his couch getting scored.I scored as many points as Tyler Coughlan

(01:05:36):
did last week against the Giants.You might have been ranked higher. I
should be. Yeah, and youdidn't have to You didn't have to block
anybody. There's a joke in thereabout your tight end somewhere, but I
got it because of the pucker factorwe were talking about earlier. Indeed,
actually I think you know basically onthe weekend, Lyle's a wide receiver.

(01:05:58):
Oh like Flyle on a Friday night, that's a wide receiver. All right,
those are them nothing in Reddit.So it's it's all about that,
all about that discord question. SheetWell said, thank you, we got

(01:06:18):
two Auto Draff says half peeper.Pick three Amari Cooper, Godwin down Shaheed
Well downs is one of them.Shat is too yeah and done. I
mean I like god pick three AmariCooper, Godwin, yeh yeh, pick

(01:06:40):
Godwin I guess which running back deMarcado or A Jones. I would take
Jones, you would, but it'scloser than it should be. It should
be not close at all. Butyes, I would take Jones. Indeed,
he says, thank you, andhave a day with your teams this
week, you two, sir.Indeed, Supper says, hey, guys,

(01:07:00):
fourteen team peeper Wow kicks two outof these wide receivers Shaheed versus Chicago
or she Rice versus Miami, kJOsborne and Atlanta over Tank Dell versus Tampa.
Rice for me is one against Miami. I agree, Rice is one
I might have to go to here. Yeah, I mean it's not going
to be del at Tampa. Weknow this, right, Yeah, I

(01:07:24):
mean Osborne could have a day.If it was Kirk Cousins, I would
say it's it was Kirk Cousins,it would be Osborne. I agree.
I play no no love for HullMinnesota. I mean, I'm sure he's
a nice guy. I'm sure he'sa down to earth Felma. He sells
insurance like a madman. But Idon't know what you're talking about. His
future, not his present, Yeah, exactly, who knows? He may

(01:07:46):
step right in and yeah, dosomething against Atlanta. We'll see, so
we agreement. It's Rice and Shaheed. I think, all right, and
that's those those questions question out.I have a feeling and I want to
say this from the heart, fellas. I think we we really kind of

(01:08:06):
lowered the bar on uh classiness onthis show. It might have been my
most fun show of the season sofar. This was your most fun show.
Yeah, I mean, because youknow, we threw caution to the
wind. We're talking about puckering,and but I don't think pregame definitely was

(01:08:28):
pre show was fantastic. I wishwe would recorded that. Yeah, well,
how do you know I didn't.I hope you did. I'm going
to have these I'm going to havethat from my my lawsuit down the road.
Good luck. I ain't got nothing. Well, no, no,
it's gonna be it's actually it's notgonna be the lawsuit. It's gonna be
the criminal case. That's to sayit's not it's gonna be a murder trials.
Yeah, it's like you're on athis this right here, this is

(01:08:51):
you'd be like case dismissed. Allright, guys, enjoy your Week nine.
I don't know. Can't. Ican't physically take you now because you're
jiu jitsu boy, but I don'tknow. Maybe a gunshot wound. We
can talk about it. However youwant to go. You know fair enough,
buddy, you know, hitting runsomething, whatever, however you want

(01:09:11):
to go, I'm here for you, all right. Enjoy your week nine,
Go go birds against those cowboys,and uh, we'll see you next
week. So I love you.I mean it.
