Welcome to Fantasy Focus!

0:00Fantasy. You're in [music] the 0610

0:04focus.

0:06Fantasy,

0:07[music]

0:09Fantasy Focus.

0:13>> What's up, friends? Welcome into Fantasy

0:15Focus Football alongside Fields Yates

0:18and Liz Loza. My name is Daniel Do. Very

0:20excited to be here on a Tuesday. Liz,

0:23how you doing?

0:23>> I am great. Thank you for reminding me

0:25what day it is, though. I'm a little bit

0:27discombobulated. Yeah, we had a long

0:29weekend. A lot of football going on. I

0:31wasn't here yesterday. I so appreciate

0:33you guys being able to do the show

0:34without me. Thank you for holding

0:35everything down,

0:36>> especially because you had to work with

0:37Mike. I know that's so difficult, guys.

0:39So,

0:39>> honestly, we survived.

0:40>> You did.

0:41>> By the way, sorry, I was looking I was

0:42staring at my watch cuz I pressed a

0:43button and all of a sudden my watch

0:44stopped and I figure out what I pressed,

0:46but I think I fixed it.

0:47>> Okay, good. I'm glad that that makes me

0:49feel better. Okay. By the way, I didn't

0:50see you yesterday. I wanted to say this.

0:52Shout out to you for Sunday. You looked

0:54so good on Fantasy Focus Countdown

0:57Field. I realize that what you look like

0:59when you dress down

1:01>> is what I aspire to look like when I

1:03dress up. [laughter]

1:05>> That's when we hit our equilibrium. Like

1:07our powers combine. Like you look so

1:09good on Sunday, not in a suit for the

1:11first time hosting the show.

1:13>> You look good in a suit as well. I'm

1:14just saying. I thought you look nice.

1:15>> I don't know what. Do you need

1:16something?

1:17>> No. No. I just wanted to tell you that.

1:20Thank you for that. Um I wanted to make

1:21Mike feel awkward as the only person

1:23wearing

1:24>> wearing a suit. In my defense, I did

1:26tell Mike in advance like, "Hey, I felt

1:27like after last week when a lot of the

1:29crew was dressing down and you and I

1:31were dressed in suits that maybe we were

1:33the oddballs, so uh I thought we could

1:35meet in the middle."

1:36>> Yeah.

1:36>> Mike was like,

1:37>> "You did a great job."

1:38>> No. No. No.

1:40>> No. Mike, he said he goes, "Field, you

1:42can't hide money." That's right. So,

1:44>> let me keep dressing up dressing

1:46[laughter] up.

1:47>> What do we got on today's show? Today,

1:48we're going to recap that Monday Night

1:50Football game, unfortunately. dive into

1:53a couple of waiver targets and then we

1:54also have some the biggest risers and

1:56fallers after the first two weeks. We'll

1:59dive into a number of names that have

2:00been definitely on the move. But let's

2:03start with a little bit of news first

2:04and most importantly Caleb Williams guys

2:07avoided a major hamstring injury

2:09expected to be week to week quote

2:10unquote is what we hear from this

2:12situation.

2:13>> Don't know if that's one week, don't

2:14know if that's three weeks.

2:15>> Yeah, awesome clarity.

2:16>> Don't know what that means there. But

2:17what it does mean to us in fantasy is

2:18that if you have Caleb Williams, one,

2:21you need to make a plan.

2:22>> You need to go out and find another

2:23quarterback. Curious, have you guys

Caleb Williams

2:25started to think about how this is going

2:26to impact your Chicago Bears rankings

2:29across the board knowing that you will

2:30probably get Tyson Beant under center

2:32here?

2:32>> I mean, guys, how much lower could these

2:35guys go?

2:35>> That's a great question.

2:36>> This is a double-edged sword, right? So,

2:38on the one hand, Caleb Williams, Tyson

2:40Beant is a legitimate downgrade, a

2:42significant down. Tyson Bean's a

2:43serviceable backup quarterback, but we

2:45thought Caleb Williams was heading

2:47towards potential superstardom. He

2:49looked like one certainly in week one.

2:51Yeah. But Caleb Williams was a superstar

2:53in week one without any of his notable

2:55contributors doing a thing for fantasy

2:58amongst the pass catchers, right? So, we

3:00have the fact that these guys are just

3:01generally downgraded as a group and the

3:04fact that Caleb's not going to be out

3:06there. You're going to be hardressed to

3:08convince me that Roma Dun and Luther

3:10Burden, yes, belong in lineups in week

3:13three in a tough matchup. Yes, they're

3:15playing at home. Hopefully, it won't be

3:18raining like it was on Sunday, but

3:20against the Eagles, you want a piece of

3:22that. That's certainly not an offense

3:24that I want a whole lot of right now,

3:25assuming Caleb Williams misses week

3:27three. Luther Coulson Leven will still

3:30be a top 10ish tight end for me just

3:31because tight end position,

3:32>> right? But the two wide receivers

3:34passing for week three.

3:35>> I'm with you.

3:36>> I think that's very accurate. I also

3:38think we have to take into account that

3:39Badin doesn't have Caleb Williams arm.

3:42So I think that hurts um Roma Dunay much

3:45more than it does Luther Burton who can

3:46create after space.

3:48>> Been a decent mover. Um but there's

3:50going to be a lot of like middle of the

3:51field throws which I think does and I

3:53say this with a giant eye roll salvage

3:56Coloulston Lovelin's potential floor.

3:59>> Yeah. Yep. Let's hope we can get there.

4:00Yeah,

4:01>> sounds like DeAndre Swift will get a lot

4:02of work as well, just because he's been

4:03one thing that keeps working right now

4:05in this Bears offense.

4:06>> Yeah, kind of interesting that Ben

4:07Johnson did not rule Caleb Williams out

4:10yet for Monday, but the signs certainly

4:13suggest this could be at least a oneweek

4:15absence for the Bears QB.

4:16>> Guys, we had uh the internet just sort

4:19of took over here with a lot of Caleb

4:21Williams stuff. We figured we'd rifle

4:23through a couple of them just because it

4:24really did light the world on fire. You

4:26>> guys make me feel so welcome. Oh, this

4:28uh this one was uh just slept on my neck

4:30bunny.

4:31>> That one got me.

4:32>> That one's not too bad. Him. Him

4:34definitely. That's a tough one.

4:36>> Next one. Me accepting a Diet Pepsi if

4:38they don't serve Diet Coke.

4:40>> I mean, this one I can really It

4:41resonates. Do you feel for me? Yeah. Is

4:44that different?

4:44>> A Diet Coke afficionado. Is that

4:46different for you?

4:47>> Yes.

4:48>> And it depends if it's fountain, but

4:49that's a whole other thing.

4:50>> Me after googling my symptoms, finding

4:51out I only have a few more days to live.

4:52Yes, that happens. I don't Google my

4:54symptoms on the internet anymore because

4:56they all tell me that I'm in major

4:58trouble. There's nothing you can do. You

5:00shouldn't eat carbs or protein or like

5:03grains. All this bad. Stepped on a Lego

5:05this morning is my favorite to be

5:07honest. As I was going to say as a dad,

5:09>> this is the only one that I can relate

5:10to. [laughter] I I feel bad here. I

5:12don't know.

5:13>> I know.

5:14>> God, this is a

5:16>> Yeah, this was a big one. Me, I'm not

5:18going to lie. Uncomfortable couch in the

5:19hospital after my wife gives birth.

5:21>> Yeah. You know what?

5:22>> Yikes. If I my third child, my wife,

5:25depending on what time of the day the

5:27baby is born, might influence us a

5:28little bit, but our third, she was like,

5:30"Just a heads up, you are not sleeping.

5:31Go away." I was like, "Go home%. Please

5:33go home."

5:34>> She was like, "Just go home." Like, she

5:35was like, "What? We have two kids at

5:36home already. You need to go back and

5:37help them. And like, you're going to be

5:40you're going to wake up tomorrow morning

5:41with, you know, a sore neck and

5:44frustration after our child was born

5:46hours before. So I do concede that for

5:49you know whatever it was 6 hours the

5:51night that our f our third baby was born

5:52I was at home to help care for our two

5:54other children and my wife she uh she

5:57definitely understood the assignment

5:58because those couches no matter how hard

6:00they try not comfortable.

6:01>> Yeah you had it way worse feel

6:03definitely.

6:03>> Yes. Yeah. [laughter] Correct. That's

6:05the point of the meme here. Liz.

6:06Exactly.

6:08>> Yeah.

6:08>> Thank you Liz. Thank you. Hey. All

6:09right. Let's keep on talking football.

6:11The fantasy gods have finally smiled

6:13upon us. We got news. Michael Pennix Jr.

6:16supposed to be the starting quarterback

6:17for the Atlanta Falcons.

6:18>> Thank God. I mean, yes. And they play on

6:20Thursday night, so we'll get this this

6:21view of Michael Penn Jr. very soon.

Michael Penix

6:23>> Another week of patience is what we have

6:25to say, right? Like, you have to still

6:27>> Yeah,

6:27>> that's it.

6:28>> You're allowed to have some optimism,

6:29but I do think it's wild that we're

6:31like, "Oh, THANK GOD, MICHAEL PENN."

6:33>> I KNOW. That's where we're at.

6:34>> This is where we're at. Such a an

6:35interesting barometer of the situation.

6:38>> They haven't made it to the red zone in

6:39two games. We all know

6:41>> like I there there are other inept

6:44offenses around the NFL, but like they

6:45score like a touchdown or two a game.

6:47The Falcons don't even get to the red

6:49zone. That's how bad they have been.

6:50>> And meanwhile, the irony Kirk Cousins

6:52has six touchdowns over two weeks,

6:54>> dude.

6:54>> Yes. Cousins has been very functional

6:56for the Vader for the Raiders so far.

6:58Pennock can spin the thing. Like that

7:00much is for sure. And Drake London, you

7:01may recall during the three starts that

7:03Michael Penn Jr. had at the end of his

7:06rookie season. Drake London had 39

7:08targets and was balling out with Michael

7:11Penn Jr. I just think he he's a way more

7:14talented quarterback than Cooper Rush.

7:16It gives his offense some upside. How

7:19much upside? We'll see. But it gives it

7:21some upside. And they literally had no

7:22upside with Cooper Rush. I I understand

7:25this was not a decision the Falcons made

7:27because they thought that Cooper Rush

7:28gave him a better chance to win. This is

7:30a medical situation. But thank God we

7:32have reached the point where Michael

7:33Penn Jr. feels comfortable enough to

7:35play on Thursday night. I have to I'm

7:37excited to see him and it doesn't seem

7:39like the Falcons are fully committed to

7:41Penn as being their guy of the future.

7:43>> This was the eighth overall pick in the

7:45draft three years ago. Like Penn does

7:47have a gigantic arm. He was throwing it

7:50all over the yard in college. He's had

7:51moments where he has thrown it all over

7:53the yard in the NFL. Accuracy has been a

7:55problem through the first two seasons of

7:57his career, but he's not afraid to push

7:59the football down the field. He's not

8:00afraid to take some risks in general.

8:02I'm excited about what it's going to

8:03look like.

8:04>> That's what I want when you've got Kyle

8:06Pittz and Drake London. Two big guys

8:07that you can push the ball down the

8:09field and take some risks with. That's

8:10what I'm hoping. I know field. Don't get

8:12me started. All right, let's talk about

8:14the Vikings. Kyler Murray has cleared

8:15concussion protocol. I actually don't

8:17know what to think of this yet because

8:18we didn't see enough about of Kyler

8:20Murray and Justin Jefferson in week one

8:21before he got hurt. Really?

8:22>> Yeah.

8:23>> And then week two with all Carson Wentz

Kyler Murray

8:25like that was just a a deluge of rain.

8:27That was a weather game. So like I don't

8:29even know what to think about it. So,

8:30we're going into week three and the

8:31question still stands. I don't really

8:33know what Justin Jefferson and Kyler

8:34Murray are going to look like. Is this

8:35an upgrade over Carson Wentz? Is it not?

8:38I don't know.

8:39>> I don't think we all any of us do. And I

8:41also think, by the way, we're allowed to

8:42say we don't know instead of pretending

8:44like we have some some Remember that

8:46character on Peewee's Playhouse. I'm

8:48like telling my millennial

8:49[clears throat] right now where it would

8:51open and be like, "Honey, honey." Like,

8:53we're not that guy.

8:54>> Mecha

8:56ho.

8:56>> I have NO IDEA WHAT YOU

9:00NONE.

9:01>> How's it feel to have chemistry with

9:03Abs? Never mind.

9:04>> No.

9:05>> What a call back to FFC. You didn't get

9:07that.

9:07>> Oh, yes. Thank you. Sorry. Um

9:10>> Um anyway, we don't know. And we're

9:11allowed not to know, but we are. I don't

9:13think anyone's starting Kyler Murray.

9:15>> No. Well, maybe

9:16>> with quarterback injuries, I don't think

9:18given.

9:18>> Yeah, I think so. I think it's possible.

9:19I think there well so I what this news

9:22to me was less about what it means for

9:23Justin Jefferson and more about what it

9:25means for a team potentially looking for

9:27a quarterback this week alone Caleb

9:30Williams Daniels and Jackson Dart which

9:32we'll discuss in a few moments all went

9:34down right so there's a world in which

9:36you're in a 12 team league and Kyler

9:38Murray was maybe your week one starting

9:40quarterback or he became your week two

9:42backup quarterback and you might need

9:44him now so I think there's there's a

9:46world in which Kyler has started in some

9:47leagues and I That's a huge dart throw

9:51of faith, right, to be starting

9:52>> Kyler though. Like I know I understand

9:54we'll talk about one later that is a

9:56very compelling option off of waiverss

9:57right now. But given the fact that three

10:00of the top

10:01>> what 12 quarterbacks in fantasy if we

10:04were going to if those guys were all

10:05healthy, I think that Jaden and Caleb

10:08and Jackson Dart are probably all top

10:1012ish options for us this week.

10:12>> The fact that 25% of them are not

10:15available most likely because of health.

10:17Not

10:17>> great. Yeah, this Kyler Murray news

10:18moved the needle for me. I do think he's

10:20going to be somewhere in the 12 to 15

10:22range for my week three rankings.

10:24>> 12 to 15.

10:24>> Is this Bucks defense scaring you?

10:26>> No.

10:26>> Deshawn Watson just completed 80% of his

10:28passes against them.

10:29>> Yeah, Dallas got it going to miss a few

10:31weeks with an MCL sprain. Um the rookie

10:34that they have there also on IR

10:35unfortunately Eli.

10:37>> So not going to be anything there. We'll

10:39continue to monitor that. And then do

10:41you think Zach is going to be anything?

10:42>> Maybe. Dude, Zack Z was a panelist. He

10:46was doing like a day a week on Peter

Dallas Goedert

10:49Shrager's new show.

10:50>> Yes, I saw him.

10:51>> Like that was his job as of a week ago

10:53and now he's going to be back with the

10:54Philadelphia Eagles. So, it's obviously

10:56a very cool story from a reunion

10:58standpoint. They play on Monday night.

11:00It sounds like he's got a real shot to

11:01play on Monday night. Does Zack Z um we

11:05always joke about how bad the depth is

11:07at tight end?

11:08>> Yeah. But even I'm not sure that Zack Z

11:12on Monday night in his first week back

11:13with Philadelphia in a new offense,

11:16which that's been definitely a common

11:18theme, is going to crack my top 10 tight

11:20end rankings. I think he is a

11:22speculative ad. Maybe if you have Dallas

11:24Goddard, you think you can get a one

11:26forone replacement. Don't have a lot of

11:28great options to give you if you have

11:30Dallas Goddard, but Zack's not going to

11:32crack my top 12 tight ends in week

11:34three. Alec Pierce going to be out

11:36several weeks unfortunately with a heel

11:38injury. Guys, Liz and I were talking

11:40about this really quickly before the

11:41show and it's just this doesn't feel

11:42like a lot of upside in this passing

Alec Pierce

11:44game right now with Daniel Jones. Tyler

11:47Warren feels like uh you hope that he

11:49hits his floor at the tight end spot,

11:50but no one else really has stepped up to

11:52be someone in this receiving.

11:53>> Well, Josh DS did get a theoretical

11:55promotion in terms of not just being

11:58tied to this leather. He's going to move

11:59around the formation. So, there's an

12:01opportunity for more volume. Obviously,

12:02when we talk about the targets vacated

12:04by Michael Pitman's departure and also

12:06in terms of deployment, but there isn't

12:08a real field stretching presence here on

12:12the Colts offense, which just sort of

12:14caps the entire ceiling of its potential

12:16explosiveness. And frankly, while I

12:19think obviously Jonathan Taylor's volume

12:21remains super steady, his efficiency

12:23probably not going to be that great.

12:24It's just a very boring offense. Yeah,

12:26it doesn't feel like we're not going to

12:27get back to QB7.

12:28>> Very boring offense. On top of the fact

12:30that, you know, like Daniel Jones we

12:31thought could maybe be on the QB2 radar,

12:33Daniel Jones has, I think, 14 rushing

12:36yards for two games. Not a gigantic

12:38surprise that his rushing is down coming

12:40off of an Achilles tear late last

12:42season, but Daniel Jones right now is

12:44nowhere near the fantasy radar. We

12:46thought maybe he could be on that

12:48fantasy radar as a good value at QB.

12:51Little bit of Chris Godwin being

12:53resigned by Tampa vibes right now for me

12:56>> with Alec Pierce. Remember Godwin gets

12:58this huge deal to stay with the

12:59Buccaneers coming off of a massive I

13:01think it was an ankle broken ankle two

13:04seasons ago. I think the at the time the

13:06reporting was the Patriots were hot on

13:08the trail of Chris Godwin. They ended up

13:10with Stfan Diggs. Uh Alec Pierce got a

13:13bag, right? Four years, $112 million.

13:15Maybe the most surprising contract of

13:17free agency. People are like, "Wow, that

13:19guy really." he was going to have a red

13:22hot market if he reached the open

13:24market. He also was hurt and like

13:26surgery got was was delayed. It was like

13:29a late surgery for Alec Pierce. And I

13:31don't know exactly whether this injury

13:34suffered on Sunday night is directly

13:36tied to what he dealt with this off

13:38season, but he did not look himself in

13:41week one. He was playing a part-time

13:43role. So, I think it's at least logical

13:46to wonder whether these two things could

13:48be tied. Hopefully, he is back at

13:50mid-season as the report suggested. But,

13:52you know, Pierce was one of those guys

13:53that had theoretical upside based off

13:55where he was being drafted.

13:57>> Now, it feels like droppable.

13:58>> Yeah, doesn't feel great. If you have

13:59to, if it's going to be half of the

14:01season with what we've seen already and

14:03you need to use your IR spot in someone

14:04else, I would understand feeling like

14:06you need to pivot from that situation,

14:08unfortunately. All right, let's talk

14:10about Monday Night Football Recap, my

14:12friends. There was some good and some

14:13bad in this one. Unfortunately, let's

14:15start at the beginning. Puk and Aua

14:16didn't even play before we even got into

14:18the game. Puka ruled out hopefully you

Giants vs. Rams recap

14:20had that pivot that we talked about

14:22heading into Sunday, excuse me, Monday

14:24Night Football

14:25>> field. This hip injury, how worried are

14:27you about this potentially lingering

14:28into

14:30>> I don't have a lot of information. I

14:31don't know if you guys have heard

14:32anything different. The only thing that

14:34I'll note right now as far as Puka is

14:36concerned is they play again Sunday

14:38night this week. So, you're going to

14:40have to make a decision. It's useful

14:41when you're player that you're trying to

14:43make a decision on,

14:45right? Because then you have so many

14:47ways in which you can go. Puka, you're

14:49going to have to potentially have an

14:50insurance plan once again going into

14:53Sunday night. The indication has been

14:54it's not something major. He was a

14:56pregame decision last night, but yeah, a

14:59not not great to not have your number

15:01one overall pick or, you know, probably

15:02a top five pick in your draft last

15:04night, but it did create plenty of

15:06opportunities for a certain throwback

15:08wide receiver. We'll talk about that in

15:09a minute.

15:10>> It did. Would you want to do that now?

15:11Like how do you want to do this?

15:12>> I just want to call out and give props

15:14to Tyler Fulgum who on FFC fantasy

15:16football countdown on Sunday mentioned

15:18the fact that if Puka were to sit the

15:21last time he did, Devonte Adams scored

15:23three touchdowns in week seven of 2025.

15:26>> Fell one short.

15:27>> Yeah. Yes. But he was amazing. 39 and a

15:30half fantasy football. I mean my

15:31goodness.

15:32>> Let's just talk about the Rams really

15:33quickly.

15:34>> Fantasy

15:36football countdown. What do I call it?

15:37>> You said fantasy football countdown.

15:38Fantasy focus countdown.

15:40Fantasy focus countdown.

15:41>> No, you said fantasy football countdown.

15:43It is fantasy focus countdown.

15:44>> I said FFC, y'all.

15:45>> Yes, you got everything right.

15:47>> Countdown, not now. We're getting

15:48better.

15:49>> Aliteration is our friend. Money in the

15:50jar. It's okay.

15:51>> We'll start with the Rams and just talk

15:52about them really quickly and then we'll

15:53pivot over here. Um, but from the Rams

15:55side of the ball, Matthew Stafford

15:57rebounded in a major way. Devonte Adams

16:00literally is being drug tested right now

16:02for the Fountain of Youth series.

16:03>> He looked like he was 24 years old out

16:05there.

16:06>> Resurgent. Last night was to me more

16:09important than what we saw last season

16:11from Dvonte Adams in the sense that

16:12Dvonte Adams last year and it you still

16:15get the fantasy points, right? It's not

16:16how, it's how many you get. Yep.

16:18>> But it was unsustainable for Dvonte

16:20Adams to have all of these one-yard

16:22touchdowns. I mean, he was flying down

16:24the field last night. He had the 64 yard

16:26catch from Matthew Stafford. Just

16:28ridiculous plays where he's catching the

16:30football like both over and around

16:32defensive backs. Eight for 195 and two

16:36touchdowns. Yeah. So that's what like 20

16:38almost 25 yards per catch for Devonte

16:41Adams. It was a vintage performance. He

16:43clearly still has gas left in the tank.

16:46He didn't show it much in week one. And

16:48maybe when Puka is around, you're just

16:49not going to see that much volume from

16:51Devonte. But this hip injury for Puka,

16:54we don't know that much more about it.

16:56So if he's out in week three against the

16:58Denver Broncos, a tough matchup, but you

17:00can certainly have more confidence based

17:01off what you saw from Devonte last

17:03night. Absolutely. Being able to see him

17:05stand up without Puka makes me feel

17:06really good if Puka is out. Also, if you

17:10had to make a pivot, hopefully your

17:11pivot with Puka in the Puka in the flex

17:13spot was Terrence Ferguson. I know, man.

17:15It's like this is why this game is so

17:18weak to week, right? Is the guy has a

17:20bagel in Australia week one. Mike Clay's

17:24favorite late round target at tight end,

17:25Terrence Ferguson. And then last night

17:27he has nine targets, good for six

17:29catches, 54 yards and a touchdown, 17.4

17:33fantasy points, tight end eight for the

17:35week.

17:35>> Was a week too early. That was all.

17:37>> He looks the part. There's no two ways

17:39about that. Very athletic player. Huge

17:41guy. Great in the red zone potentially.

17:43Terrence Ferguson, that was a really

17:45encouraging sign. He's a hard guy to

17:47rank going into week three. When you've

17:48got a dud and a stardom week, it's hard

17:50to say like, wow, like this guy deserves

17:52to be on one side or the other of the

17:55coin. But he has my attention.

17:57>> Well, I he has my attention as well. But

17:59also, can we be sure that things won't

18:01shift? Because in week one, it was

18:03Colobby Parkinson who was running more

18:05routes and seeing more looks. So, is

18:07this a Shawn McVey wild scientist

18:10situation on a week- toeek basis? We we

18:13can't be sure, but I do think that

18:14you're right. He absolutely Terren

18:16Ferguson does need to have attention. We

18:18we kind of know what Kobe Parkinson is

18:20anyway. There's obviously more receiving

18:21upside available in Ferguson. There's

18:23definitely going to be another tight end

18:24that has 17 fantasy points for the Rams

18:26next week. These two go, right? Yeah,

18:28that's how it works.

18:29>> Davis Allen is my nominee.

18:30>> Uh running backs Kyron Williams looked

18:32fantastic. Found the end zone twice

18:34>> as a receiver in both c both cases.

18:35>> Yeah, looked great. Blake Corm looked

18:37really good as a runner. Didn't do as

18:39much for us in fantasy football, but

18:41it's clear that these two um have

18:43command of this back field. Kairen

18:44Williams though, looking great.

18:46>> Sorry, one time as a receiving touchdown

18:48last night for Kairen Williams, but yes,

18:50he is the guy in the back field. Blake

18:51Cororm is going to play a real role. If

18:53the Rams can kind of get back on track

18:55like they were last night, this team is

18:57going to have a lot of opportunity to

18:59bludgeon you on the ground.

19:00>> Cororum though remains a guy that elite

19:04elite insurance policy running back. No

19:06standalone value right now.

19:07>> Yep.

19:08>> All right. For the Giants,

19:09unfortunately, the big story line here

19:10is couple big story lines. Uh Jackson

19:14Dart unfortunately goes down. Gets hurt

19:16halfway through this game. kind of gets

19:17like sandwiched in between two

19:20defenders. Jameson Winston comes. Jameus

19:23Winston comes in. I That's a problem. Uh

19:26we do not know yet about what's going to

19:28happen with Jackson Dart. Again, just

19:30like we said with the other two guys,

19:31you should make plans to be without

19:32Jackson Dart this week just to be safe.

19:34>> It's a reported sprained MCL for Jackson

19:37Dart. Now, he wanted to come back into

19:39the game last night. Probably like

19:41young, brazen confidence from the 22,

19:4423-year-old quarterback. I think you can

19:46expect him to miss time this week.

19:47>> I just thought he was emboldened by that

19:49Old Miss win. Personally, it

19:50>> could be it. Yes, Jackson, of course, a

19:52proud Old Miss grad. Uh, but sounds like

19:54he is going to miss some time. Will

19:56Jackson Dart. The Giants play the Titans

19:58in week three. So, a good matchup.

20:00Jameus Winston is better than what he

20:01showed last night.

20:03>> Agreed.

20:03>> By a lot. He was 11 for 27. But yeah,

20:06you're going to see a downgrade in the

20:08two pass catchers that matter in this

20:10offense. Malik Neighbors and also Isaiah

20:13Likely. if Jame or not if with Jameus

20:16starting this upcoming week.

20:17>> Yeah, Malik Neighbors also left this

20:18game and had a shoulder thing that

20:19looked up ended up coming back but that

20:22was a a scary moment because it we

20:24weren't really sure what he was dealing

20:25with.

20:26>> I uh yeah he said his it popped out and

20:28it popped back in. Uh as somebody that's

20:30had to pop out

20:32>> every once in a while that stuff happens

20:34like I think for the rest of my life my

20:36shoulder will just be like a little bit

20:37compromised and I'll have these moments

20:38of soreness. So, not a total shock that

20:40Malik Neighbors had that. He had one

20:42catch for one yard last night, though.

20:44Not totally all the way there yet.

20:46Certainly a week with Jameus Winston

20:48getting all the reps he probably will

20:50get will help this passing offense.

20:52>> It It feels like the guy that you have

20:54the most confidence in relative to where

20:57his position stands

20:58>> is likely.

20:59>> Yes,

21:00>> he had 10 targets last night. Not a big

21:02game for him, but just that like Malik

21:04Neighbors, the the floor is lower,

21:06right? We saw it last night. one catch

21:08for one yard. If Isaiah Le is going to

21:10get the kind of target share he's seen

21:12in back-to-back weeks, even if he

21:14doesn't have a monster night like he

21:15didn't have last night, 8.3 fantasy

21:17points, you have to start him. Have to

21:19>> because you're chasing volume at the

21:20tight end position, right? That's this

21:22is one of those, especially given this

21:25situation, if there was one backup

21:27quarterback in the NFL from a fantasy

21:28perspective that we could say, "Hey, who

21:30do I want to be the quarterback of this

21:32squad?" It would be Jameus Winston.

21:34Honestly, because you know that he's not

21:36afraid to sling it. I don't have to

21:37start Jamus. I don't care if he throws

21:38three interceptions. I want all the

21:40other stuff. Everyone else's.

21:42>> Yeah.

21:42>> Yeah. So, uh we'll continue to monitor

21:44both of these both with with Malik

21:46Willis. And

21:47>> can we just mention that Cam Scataboo

21:49also saw work in the receiving game. He

21:51caught four all four of his targets. And

21:53this was a game in which uh Naji Harris

21:56made a start and Devin Singleary played

21:58and Cam Cam Scatteraboo obviously still

22:00led the back field. I didn't love what

22:02he did in terms of efficiency, but I

22:03think we can also attribute a lot of

22:05that to the change in quarterback and

22:07>> say pretty dicey start for two weeks for

22:09Cam Scataboo.

22:10>> I'm going to hope discouraged like you

22:13know the the volume not elite the

22:14passing game work was a little bit

22:16better last night but under 20 receiving

22:18yards in total.

22:20>> Have some concerns. You scatteroo was

22:22seeing good volume last year but also

22:25absolutely dominating on his touches.

22:28Hasn't been the case through two weeks.

22:29So, kind of a slow start for Scataboo.

22:31Still an RB2, but a guy that you hope

22:33finds a much more efficient path in

Week 3 Waiver Wire

22:36weeks three and beyond. All right, let's

22:38talk about some waiverwire ads. Do a D.

22:41This is all you, bud. Here we are in

22:42week three. We got a couple of priority

22:44ads at the quarterback spot. We got a If

22:46you're watching the full screen, uh,

22:47watching, excuse me, on the YouTube

22:48feed, NFL on ESPN YouTube channel, you

22:51can see full screen of the priority ads

22:53for week three waiver targets. I'm going

22:55to start at the quarterback spot. Tyler

22:56Shuck is number one for me. QB6 in total

22:59fantasy points. He's second in the

23:00league in pass attempts. He leads the

23:02NFL in passing yards. Back-to-back weeks

23:05with 22 or more fantasy points.

23:08>> And he's also completed 69% of his

23:10passes. He's got a real rhythm and

23:11connection with Chris Olive. Like they

23:13look dialed in with each other. And

23:15Devon Valet to be on Valet. Vele. I

23:18always get this one wrong.

23:19>> Valet.

23:20>> It is Valle. Mike says Val.

23:22>> Val. Valle. Okay. Yeah. Okay.

23:24>> Mike said delay with a V.

23:26>> Okay.

23:26>> Okay. Like filet minan though.

23:29>> Yeah man.

23:30>> All right. Love it. That's what we're

23:31>> Don't you think Mike would ask for a

23:33filet minan? Well done.

23:34>> Probably.

23:35>> You guys are so mean to him

23:36>> with A1.

23:38>> Can you butterfly my filet minan?

23:42>> So anyways, I I love Tyler Shuck. I was

23:44in on him all off season and we the way

23:46he started has been fantastic by the way

23:48against the Lions who we knew they were

23:49going to have to throw a lot. We knew

23:50game script was going to be that. But

23:52for him to do this against the Ravens,

23:54even though that rushing touchdown was a

23:55little bit suspect, still love that he

23:57got to where he did.

23:58>> The big question I have for him this

24:00week or eventually is like at some point

24:03they're not going to be down like 17 to

24:05nothing in the game.

24:06>> You'd think, well, I would hope. Yes,

24:08for their purposes. And that to me is

24:11where the rubber kind of meets the road

24:12for Tyler Shuck. Is he a guy that can

24:16play sort of like with the a correct and

24:18appropriate game script and still be a

24:20top 10 or 12 quarterback or does this

24:23team need to be bad enough where it this

24:25is better than Blake Bort like it's

24:26better quarterback play than Blake

24:28Bortles by far and the team is better

24:30than where the Jaguars were during that

24:31Blake Bortling era.

24:33>> But what you liked about Blake Bortles

24:35wasn't what you saw in the first 30

24:36minutes of the game. It was the

24:37circumstances that drove you to

24:39greatness in the second 30 minutes of

24:41the game that you were like it's sort of

24:42like Jacobe Brassette last year.

24:44Patience is a virtue. You're going to

24:46eventually get there.

24:47>> Yeah. And they draw Vegas who

24:49>> they host the Raiders I believe.

24:51>> Okay. Yep. And then uh I mean they've

24:53they've shut down Justin Herbert and

24:55Malik Willis. So I don't really know

24:56what to think there. And then Atlanta on

24:57Monday Night Football over the next two

24:58weeks. That Atlanta game if they get up

25:00that could be one of those games. I mean

25:01both of them honestly could be games

25:02worth.

25:02>> He's been I mean I think Field's point

25:04is that he's been a second half savior.

25:05So, what happens if he's just

25:07consistent?

25:07>> Yeah, we'll find out.

25:09>> What do you guys think happened to the

25:10NFL schedule maker in like [laughter]

25:13late April, early May?

25:14>> Great question.

25:15>> Like, do we like like

25:18offc court injury

25:19>> maybe

25:19>> like plays some was playing some golf

25:21and strained a calf?

25:22>> I know a guy that plays golf.

25:23>> Maybe like uh maybe like a neighbors

25:26play golf. Yes, he does.

25:26>> play golf with him sometimes.

25:28>> No big deal. Christian Watson.

25:30[laughter] Um but yeah, like some did

25:31someone like egg his house? I wonder

25:33>> because the reason I asked that is that

25:35the Atlanta Falcons are about to play

25:37three straight games on national TV.

25:39>> Yeah. Why' we do that?

25:40>> Thursday night football and then Monday

25:42Night Football and then Sunday night

25:44football.

25:44>> Yeah.

25:45>> Well, somebody wanted to draft Bejan

25:47Robinson ahead of Premier Gibbs.

25:49>> That was the plan.

25:50>> It was a tough one.

25:51>> But that could be fine. Like it looked

25:52fine in week one. We'll see. But like

25:54really three straight Falcons games on

25:57national TV.

25:58>> Really? You guys like that plan?

26:01>> No. But it's not my job. [laughter]

26:03>> It's not what I'm saying that something

26:05happened to the person who made the

26:06schedule. I'm convinced like his his

26:08house got egged or something. I don't

26:09know what it was, but three straight

26:10national TV games for the Falcons this

26:13early in the season is a tough tough

26:16Tyler needs to use his legs more. I'm

26:18just going to close out that

26:19conversation on Tyler Shuck. Tyler Shook

26:20needs to use his legs more. If we can

26:22get him to run a little bit more and be

26:24like a little baby Bon Knicks from last

26:26year kind of a quarterback, then I think

26:28we would be in a better spot. But he's

26:29got that swagger. Did you see his tweet

26:30after the game?

26:31>> I did not.

26:32>> He's got a little bit of he's like this

26:33is part of why I love Tyler Shuck. Like

26:35he's got it in him posting uh oh Lamar's

26:39favorite artist as Kodak Black in case

26:41you didn't know. And that's who uh

26:44>> that's the song he used for the post

26:45there. So it was a little bit of a shot

26:46at Lamar Jackson.

26:48>> Not bad for a 26-year-old sophomore

26:51quarterback.

26:51>> Okay.

26:53>> By the way, I I I actually bet those

26:55guys were close and it wasn't a shot.

26:56They both went to Louisville. Like I bet

26:59that is coincidence, but I respect the

27:00internet doing what it does.

27:01>> I you it's got to do. The internet's

27:03undefeated. Another quarterback, Bryce

27:05Young.

27:05>> Yes.

27:06>> Give me two in fantasy points, six

27:07passing touchdowns, leading the NFL,

27:09second in passing yards.

27:10>> This week draws the Cleveland Browns.

27:12Cleveland Browns, two different

27:14defensive situations. Week one, they got

27:16decimated by Trevor Lawrence. He threw

27:18four passing touchdowns against him.

27:19Yeah.

27:19>> Week two, Baker Mayfield pooed himself

27:22on the field. It was awful. I'm not sure

27:25which one is

27:26>> that they the delay of the game.

27:28>> I think that's what was the problem with

27:29that. That's why there was a delay like

27:30a pool.

27:31>> Exactly. They had to do the whole thing.

27:33So, uh, that one's not great. I don't,

27:35you know, we'll see which which Browns

27:37defense shows up for Bryce Young, but

27:38he's been slinging it honestly for

27:40everything um the first two weeks of the

27:41season and he draws the Detroit Lions in

27:42week four.

27:43>> Yeah, I like the match up for the next

27:45for over the next five weeks. I like

27:46four of his matchups.

27:47>> Yep. So, those are the two quarterbacks.

27:49If you had to look to replace any of the

27:50three that unfortunately went down this

27:52week, those would be our top two

27:53priority guys. Liz, Jonah Coleman would

27:55be the running back for me, replace JK

27:57Dobbins when he went down this one. RJ

27:59Harvey already was out with a hamstring

28:01injury. Little more of a speculative

28:03target because we didn't see a lot from

28:04Jonah Coleman, but we're assuming if

28:06there is a role, he will be one of the

28:08guys filling it in this Denver Bronco

28:09backfield.

28:10>> I really liked him and Field can attest

28:11to this more. To me, he remind he he ran

28:13similarly or played similarly to David

28:15Montgomery as he was coming out of

28:17college. I think that that's a decent

28:18comp for him just to give people an idea

28:20of his skill set. Um certainly kind of

28:23in between what RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins

28:25do. So a more complete um a more

28:28complete back if you will. He was the

28:29RB19 in fantasy points per touch which

28:32doesn't sound that great until you

28:33realize he's only had 13 touches.

28:35>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about

28:37Jonah Coleman just with everything you

28:38saw? For those of us that didn't see him

28:40in the

28:40>> Mike as a player, really talented

28:42runner, can certainly handle the uh

28:44receiving role as well. Well, JK

28:45Dobbins, the early reporting suggests

28:47he's got a shot to play in week three.

28:49And if JK Dobbins is out there, hard for

28:52me to imagine having Jonah Coleman or JK

28:55Dobbins for that matter inside my top 25

28:58of running backs. But if Dobbins is

29:00unavailable and it's all of a sudden

29:01Jonah Coleman and Tyler Bedet certainly

29:03some value definitely worth adding

29:05tonight, especially if you have a

29:07running back injury and there have been

29:08a few of them.

29:09>> There have been a few of them. I would

29:10also say one more to throw a dart on

29:11Rashad White. first half this week, nine

29:14touches, same as JCM. Both of them had

29:16nine touches while Jaden Daniels was out

29:18there. Uh Rashad White 63 yards compared

29:21to just 26 for JCM. Much more explosive,

29:23looked better in the receiving game. And

29:25then once Jaden Daniels went down, you

29:28look at the second half, he was the only

29:30running back with any receiving game

29:32work. Rashad White ran 22 routes. JCM

29:34had four. So

29:34>> of 10 in routes run after two weeks.

29:36Yeah, it feels like if we're going to be

29:37in a spot where potentially again the

29:39commanders are going to be in negative

29:40game script with Marcus Mariota, that

29:42defense isn't super great. We just think

29:43they might be playing from behind. Could

29:45impact JCM. Rashad White could be a

29:47receiving game guy to look at. Couple of

29:49wide receivers really quickly field.

29:50Denzel Boston has looked really good

29:52through the first two weeks. Two for 59

29:54and a touchdown in week one. Five for

29:5699. Five for 95 and a touchdown in week

29:58two. Had seven targets which led the

30:00team. Yeah. kind of looks like the only

30:01guy that has a connection, you know,

30:03pseudo with Deshawn Watson during the

30:06preseason. We were talking about how

30:07Casey Conpion was the one that we were

30:09excited about. Truth. Yeah.

30:10>> Yeah. And now it feels like first two

30:12weeks of the season has kind of shifted

30:13over to the bigger Denzel Boston just

30:16again as like the draft guy here. How do

30:18you feel about Denzel Boston with what

30:20you've seen from him the first two

30:21weeks?

30:21>> NFL probably overthought it there on

30:23Denzel Boston. Big question mark on him

30:25was his speed. Well, he's had two long

30:27touchdowns where speed was not an issue

30:29in the first two weeks, but he's this

30:30super he's a big smooth uh catches

30:34everything that comes his way. Wide

30:35receiver that can play in the slot as

30:37well, so there's some versatility there.

30:39He had an amazing training camp. He was

30:41the talk of Brown's training camp. And

30:43then on top of that, through the first

30:44two weeks, he's the only wide receiver

30:46that's not a part-time player. Yes,

30:48>> he's playing 93 plus% of the snaps,

30:52whereas Casey Conpion's about 2/3 of the

30:54snaps. Sherry Judy not far behind there

30:56as well. So he's on the field all the

30:58time. Talented guy. And as Mike pointed

31:00out, Sean Watson played much better in

31:03week two than expectation. And Mike

31:05feels though as though it wasn't that

31:07bad in week one. I wasn't as bullish on

31:09what he did in week one, but you know,

31:11there's at least some reason to believe

31:13in this matchup against Carolina on

31:15Sunday that Deshawn can piece together

31:17another solid effort.

31:18>> Yeah. And this is going to be one of

31:19those seasonl long things I think more

31:21than just a a quick week thing where if

31:24it's going to work right now with

31:25Deshawn and we expect things potentially

31:26to maybe even unlock more under Shador

31:28Sanders in the future. There's just more

31:30for this unlocking of Denzel Boston. So

31:32I like him a lot now uh in this

31:34situation. I would add him for sure. AD

31:35Mitchell I want to mention really

31:36quickly. Three for 60 in week one only

31:38had three targets but six for 63 on 12

31:40targets in week two taking on the

31:41Detroit Lions in week three.

31:43>> Yeah I hear you. So this is more of a

31:44week three ad you're saying than

31:45>> uh I do not think that. I think that

31:47they think that AD Mitchell, I am more

31:49in on Mike and Gino Smith being a

31:52serviceable part of this offense. I

31:53think he's going to be the clear wide

31:54receiver, too. When you look at this, 54

31:56routes run for Garrett Wilson in the

31:57first two weeks.

31:58>> 55 routes run for AD Mitchell, 14

32:01targets for Garrett Wilson, 15 targets

32:02for AD Mitchell. I am not saying that

32:04he's going to be splitting this like I

32:06like we see with Garrett Wilson. I just

32:08think he's a bigger part of this

32:09offense.

32:09>> I'm a little less convinced here. I feel

32:12like we've seen this on just a couple

32:13too many occasions in his albeit brief

32:15NFL career. But AD Mitchell's had some

32:17moments and we're like, "Oh, the guy who

32:19was supposed to go in the first round

32:20slid to the second round because of

32:22maturity concerns. Maybe he's about

32:24ready to piece it all together." I'd

32:26have to see it for a few more weeks in a

32:27row before I personally believe in AD

32:29Mitchell being a thing.

32:30>> Understood. You also didn't believe in

32:31in the offense really coming into the

32:33season as it is. So that I understand

32:34that there'd be a lot of trepidation.

32:36>> The ceiling is quite low for this Jets

32:38offense. I think the ceiling is low, but

32:39the fact that there was a drum beat over

32:41the summer um is evidence to me that

32:43there is something here and everybody

32:46moves at their own velocity. Not

32:47everybody is in an immediate breakout. I

32:49mean, Michael Wilson is an example of

32:51that. So, while different skill sets are

32:52at play here, I am more optimistic about

32:54AD Mitchell and but I was also more

32:57confident in the Jets being um viable

33:00fantasy-wise this season. Last one I

33:02have and probably the highest

33:04expectation from a short-term

33:06perspective, Rashad Baitman. As long as

33:08A Flowers is going to be out, Rashad

33:09Baitman will be the wide receiver one in

33:11Baltimore. We've seen that the problem

33:12is he's not going to be anything once Z

33:14Flowers comes back. So, he is important

33:17to your

33:17>> I just want to say here, Rashad Baitman

33:19was on my bench in our fantasy focus

33:22show league, but I won my matchup anyway

33:24against Ryan, one of our one of our PAs,

33:26um or APs, whatever they're called.

33:28Anyway, um I I don't know.

33:30>> Important person,

33:31>> right? IPS. Yeah.

33:33>> So, he did blow up my bench. I think we

33:35look at the box score and we're like,

33:36"Oh my gosh, Rashad Baitman 22 fantasy

33:38points, whatever. He could be something

33:40else." He also caused the interception

33:42at the end of the game because he

33:45underran a route that Lamar threw. So, I

33:48think we need to take the whole context

33:50of the the context of all of that into

33:52consideration while we're thinking about

33:54it because I mean, yes, everyone's

33:55allowed to make mistakes, but if you

33:57didn't convert in week one on your loan

34:00target and then in week two you were

34:02serviceable, but you also caused a major

34:05upset or at least a really horrible

34:08point in the game which led to an upset

34:09can be attributed to your actions. I

34:12don't know if you're holding the same

34:13amount of grace.

34:13>> Seven for 88 and a touchdown.

34:15>> I just don't know who they would turn to

34:16if not Rashad Baitman. They're so thin

34:18at wide receiver. And also, Liz,

34:20[clears throat and cough]

34:21oh, what you just did.

34:23>> Am I going to get a talk?

34:24>> No, no, it's okay. You're allowed to do

34:25it. It's It's just It's an amazing

34:27humble brag right there by you.

34:28>> Why?

34:28>> I had Rashad Baitman on my bench in the

34:30fantasy football. Oh,

34:31>> that part. I thought you were going to

34:32yell.

34:33>> The league in which we play, you know,

34:34we have uh

34:36>> Yeah. Liz, who's now 4-0 because we

34:38don't just do

34:40>> headtohead, we do victory points as

34:42well. Not only are you 4 and0, but you

34:44dropped um I was the second highest

34:46scoring team in the league in week one

34:48and you smoked me by like 40 points. You

34:50have scored like 350 points through two

34:53weeks. You are absolutely just

34:55dominating this league. So yeah, he was

34:58on your bench. It doesn't matter, Liz.

34:59You're absolutely destroying the rest of

35:01us.

35:01>> I didn't know that. Field letting me

35:03know. I love that field's tracking this.

35:05I'm trying to win fantasy matchups every

35:06week.

35:07>> So Liz, yes, Liz, 4-0. You and Dave, our

35:10producer, are both 4-0. Through two

35:12weeks, you have scored 341

35:14points, and I have scored the second

35:17most points at 312. So, you're 30 points

35:20better than me. 15 points per week

35:22better through two weeks. So, uh, yeah,

35:24but because I played you in week one,

35:25Liz, I've also allowed 320 points by far

35:28the most in the league. Not that I'm mad

35:30about it.

35:30>> Sounds like you need to work on your

35:31defense.

35:32>> I do. I my my team plays defense like

35:34the Dolphins right now. Also, what a

35:35wonderful co-host because he just

35:37basically shamed me and also elevated

35:39>> put you on a pedestal.

35:40>> Yeah. No, your team's dominating. Your

35:42team is sick.

35:43>> Last one really quickly. Daltton

35:44Schultz. I'm just gonna say this. If

35:45there's no Nico Collins, Daltton Schultz

35:47again feels like he could be a target

35:48monster. 14 targets in this one. 12

35:51catches. I mean, it

35:52>> it feels similar to if there's no Nico

35:54Collins, then Daltton Schultz could kind

35:56of be what Jake Ferguson was last year

35:58for the Cowboys without CD Lamb, right?

36:00Like that's that kind of a vibe. Um, but

36:02once Nico Collins comes back, I think a

36:04lot of that is we're going to return to

36:05earth as we did on our Sunday segment.

36:07Uh, with

36:08>> Oh, he had eight targets, I believe, in

36:09week one with Nico Collins on

36:11>> I agree. I just think that offense from

36:12a passing game perspective is a

36:14>> The other thing in play for Houston here

36:16is just that the first two games have

36:18been atypically high passing volume

36:20because the defense has not found its

36:21form yet. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow can

36:23do that to you. Yep.

36:24>> They played Dan Jones and the Colts this

36:27weekend. If this game is much more in

36:28the 1710 range, might not it probably

36:32means less good things for Yep.

36:34>> Dton Schultz.

36:35>> Those would be my priority ads in 10

36:37team leagues. A quick look at some of

36:39our deeper league ads and just names to

36:41have on your radar as we go through

36:43these early weeks of the season. Emanuel

36:45Wilson and Tank Bsby as well, especially

36:48with what happened with Saquon Barkley

36:50getting that stinger. Just nice make

36:51sure you have his name on your radar.

36:53Trey Tucker, Keon Coleman, and Jeremy

36:54Bernard. Jimmy Bernard looked nice

36:56because you can tell DK Mechaf has zero

36:58chemistry with Aaron Rodgers,

37:00>> but you're allowed to have the Steelers

37:02receivers on your roster. I will opt

37:03against him.

37:04>> Yes. Yes, I agree with that. That was

37:06because Michael Pitman Jr. was not on

37:07the field. That would be why. Uh also

37:09have Ted Hurst, Dantavian Wixs as well

37:11with Khif Raymond, the best pass catcher

37:13in Chicago still on the waiverwire.

37:15Khalif Raymond and Darren Waller doing

37:17the undertaker gift.

37:19>> Two touchdowns.

37:20>> Two catches on and two touchdowns. Yeah,

37:22>> it's crazy.

37:22>> Three for 30. almost had a touchdown in

37:24week one, too. Was called back due to

37:26penalty. So,

37:27>> yep. Any names? You guys good with that?

37:29>> That was a lot of names. Let's have it

37:31in the mailbag here with our buddy Eric

37:32Moody. Follow him on social media, Eric

37:35and Moody. This one comes from just in

37:37time. We love Justin. Gainwell worth a

37:38drop for someone like Emanuel Wilson.

37:41>> I do believe we'll talk more about

37:42Kenneth Gainwell in a little bit. I

37:44agree. I will use this question as an

37:47opportunity to update people that uh

37:49Mike McDaniel was asked about Jadari and

37:52Price yesterday. Uh Price had that chest

37:56injury. Let me make sure I get the

37:57appropriate quote before I give out bad

37:59info.

38:00>> I also just said Mike McDaniel and I

38:02meant Mike McDonald, of course, the

38:04excellent head coach for the uh Seattle

38:07Seahawks. And uh Mike McDonald uh told

38:11yesterday uh said yesterday on Seattle

38:13radio um it's not a chest issue for

38:15Jarian Price. It's actually a shoulder

38:17issue. It's intact and nothing serious.

38:21It seems like

38:23>> now is that a good thing or a bad thing

38:24when they clarify that it's intact?

38:26>> Well, I think that's the first question

38:28you're going to ask as a follow-up. Like

38:29it's a shoulder injury. Is there

38:31structural damage separated or

38:32something? This could be like a

38:34contusion bruise, right? versus mine

38:36which had like basically fallen off of

38:38my body. It was not intact.

38:39>> Yours? Yes.

38:40>> Yours was much more painful.

38:41>> That was bad. It was dumb. It was so

38:43stupid. And I'm still hurting today. I'm

38:45a

38:45>> They had a lot. I mean, this was a lot

38:47of garbage time for them as well down

38:48the stretch as a part of this because

38:50they were up so much, too. They didn't

38:52need to throw the ball a lot.

38:53>> That could be the case for them, right?

38:54They're playing Marcus Mariota and the

38:56Commanders this upcoming weekend. So, I

38:58think that Mar that Emanuel Wilson is a

39:01worthwhile ad at the cost of Kenneth

39:04Gainwell. If you are thin at running

39:06back and need something for this

39:07weekend.

39:08>> Okay.

39:08>> Now, if you're just trying to if you're

39:10trying to stack who has the most value

39:13as a reserve level back, I will maintain

39:15that Kenneth Gainwell is still far more

39:17valuable than Emanuel Wilson.

39:18>> And with your own pinch, though, because

39:20I think the fact that it's it's it's not

39:22serious. It's intact. Like, that's all

39:23good, right?

39:24>> It does not say that he's playing this

39:27upcoming weekend either.

39:28>> Also hasn't looked great through the

39:29first two weeks of the season. I've been

39:31disappointed with all of my Jadarian

39:33price shares up. We're going to be doing

39:34risers and fallers today in just a few

39:36moments. We could probably do like I I

39:38thought about doing this like you could

39:39almost do the top 50 players based off

39:42of ADP and do a stockwatch for them

39:44because

39:45>> there are certainly some guys that have

39:47kind of held water, right? Like

39:49>> Jir Gibbs deservedly went first overall

39:52in most people's, you know, and Josh

39:54Allen was the first overall quarterback

39:55understandably, right? There have been

39:56some guys that have Trey McBride held

39:58serve. You've had a couple guys that

40:00have probably overachieved. We'll talk

40:02about them and some underachievers.

40:03Price would be a stock down guy relative

40:05to ADP.

40:06>> Yeah, I'm with you on that. All right,

Mailbag

40:07another couple questions here from our

40:09chat. Realer Andrich wants to know,

40:12>> hey, who do I start at tight end? Do I

40:14ride with Daltton Schultz till Nico

40:16comes back or do I start third and

40:18Jawan? Jawan Johnson.

40:20>> Elizabeth, you want this one?

40:21>> I think I have been impress impressed

40:24with Jawan Johnson, frankly. Um, and I

40:27think until Jordan Tyson returns, and

40:29again, he will be a rookie coming off of

40:30these lingering hamstring issues. So,

40:31we're not quite sure what level he will

40:34begin at, Jawan Johnson remains

40:35serviceable. And if, as we talked about

40:37earlier, Tyler Shuck remains the second

40:40half savior and just starts throwing the

40:42ball out of nowhere and is super pass

40:43heavy in a way we don't expect the

40:45Texans to be once, as Field pointed out,

40:47the defense does find its footing.

40:49Johnson remains my uh preferred option.

40:52>> I'm going to go with Schultz if Nico is

40:54out. Otherwise, Jan Johnson.

40:55>> Yeah, if if Nico is out, I might I think

40:59I would also default to Schultz.

41:01Otherwise, I would go with Jawan

41:03Johnson.

41:04>> I'm sorry about that.

41:05>> No, that's okay. You're allowed to have

41:06>> Also, we didn't mention this. Not really

41:08news. Last year, we did see Gans Gatson

41:11have like a few weeks of like

41:12serviceable fantasy value. There is no

41:14tight Harley and and David and Jooko are

41:17both on IR, so he is the only tight end

41:19right now. The problem is nothing about

41:21that offense feels good right now. So be

41:24cool if his offense could actually move

41:25the ball.

41:26>> Just a name. We should mention it just

41:27in case they do start to catch fire.

41:29That that is a guy that's out there. All

41:30right.

41:31>> Side note, Charlie Kler's absence is

41:32probably worse for the rest of the

41:34offense and block.

41:35>> That's [laughter] fair. That's fair. All

41:36right. Another question here from our

41:38chat. This one comes from Cion wants to

41:40know, "I want to believe in Coulson

41:42Loveland, but I'm losing games because

41:45of him. Do you think here in week three

41:48he is benchable?" Um, I would need to

41:50know who the other options are on your

41:52on your roster right now

41:54>> because while he is absolutely tumbling

41:56in terms of value,

41:59how many tight ends have risen up the

42:00ranks? Obviously, if you snagged a Cole

42:02uh, excuse me, adult concade

42:04>> late in your drafts or on waiverss,

42:06crank them up.

42:07>> Isaiah likely maybe.

42:08>> Isaiah likely. Another good one. There

42:10have been a few guys that have trended

42:11upwards, but if it's like, yeah, I'm

42:12choosing between Coloulston Lovelin and

42:14Hunter Henry or Kate, like hold serve

42:18there. I think so too, especially with

42:20them having a backup quarterback. I

42:24could see just and I realize that he can

42:25play all of the roles, you know, as a

42:27field stretcher as well. I would like to

42:28see the tight end be like a really nice

42:30safety valve for Tyson Beijing here. So,

42:33>> uh the other one I was thinking of who

42:35was the other uh tight end that did

42:38>> Terrence Ferguson.

42:39>> No, not Samson. No, not Sam Leor.

42:41Anyways, doesn't matter.

42:42>> Somebody is going up.

42:42>> Yeah, I thought someone was going up.

42:44>> Going up in value. I don't know. That's

42:46a good question. Not many of them. No,

42:48not enough, guys. Not enough. All right,

42:49let's move ahead and talk about our

42:51biggest risers and fallers here. We'll

42:52take a few more questions at the end if

42:53we've got some time,

42:55>> but it's through two weeks. I mean, a

42:57little bit of this is are we panicking?

42:59Are we having some patience? Guys that

43:00have gone up and down in our rankings

43:02field. Let's start with you. Who's the

43:03biggest riser for you so far?

43:04>> Are we starting with followers?

43:05>> Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. We're

43:06starting with followers.

43:07>> I'm going to use one player to capture

43:09several players. And it's fitting after

Risers & Fallers

43:12that last question. Oh,

43:13>> my answer is Roma Dun.

43:15>> Okay.

43:15>> Right. So Rome was maybe drafted as

43:18first amongst the Bears wide receivers.

43:20If not, he was very shortly after people

43:24took Luther Burden the third.

43:25>> Yes.

43:25>> And I know that Luther Burden the third

43:27was the the trendier player this off

43:29season. It's worth noting that Roma was

43:32picked ninth overall, not far behind

43:34Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Neighbors.

43:36Remember that class was heralded as like

43:38three camp miss wide receiver prospects.

43:40Yep. I don't feel differently about Rome

43:42as a player right now. I think he's

43:44still an absolute stud, but we just hope

43:46that this would be the ready for liftoff

43:48year for the Chicago offense. And it was

43:50in week one when they scored 59 without

43:53Roma, without Burton, without Colston

43:56Love. So through two games, Romanun has

43:5814.5 fantasy points. One of the big

44:01question marks surrounding Odunce coming

44:02into the year was how is that foot which

44:04bothered him for much of last season

44:06after a red hot start. Seems like Rome

44:09is still a little bit banged up, but not

44:11enough that you'd expect seven catches

44:14for 75 yards through two weeks. So, for

44:16a while, I thought that all of those

44:18Bears would be lineup blocks. I would

44:20say that Roma Dunes, especially for week

44:22three, facing the Eagles with Tyson

44:24Beant finds himself a decent amount

44:26outside my top 25 of wide receivers. I'm

44:30looking at this list of where Roma Dunay

44:32was drafted because we have like where

44:33you know ADP was

44:36>> David Montgomery, Bashel Tutin, Jameson

44:38Williams, Jadarian Price, Kyle Pittz,

44:40Roman Dun, all of them have been

44:42terrible. All of them have just

44:43>> David Montgomery had the one game

44:45>> not great but yeah I he was uh taken in

44:48the seventh round late seventh round of

44:50your fantasy drafts just ahead of Luther

44:52Burton.

44:53>> Liz, what about you

44:54>> for fallers? Uh, mine is the

44:56affforementioned Genny Gainwell

44:58>> and it really hurts because I I listen

45:01when I'm wrong I will admit I'm wrong

45:03and I was very much wrong on Gainwell.

45:06>> Okay, [laughter]

45:07good for you.

45:07>> I blame other things.

45:09>> Um, I well I I am very confused as to

45:12how I'm wrong because I don't know how

45:13you let a player like Rashad White who

45:15has a receiving skill set go and then

45:17you pay Kenny Gainwell coming off of a

45:19career season in that regard. But

45:21regardless, it doesn't matter because

45:23the truth is uh over two weeks, Gainwell

45:26has managed seven rushing attempts and

45:28five targets. For context, Baker

45:31Mayfield has two more carries than

45:33Gainwell. And Bucky Irving has 15 more

45:37routes run.

45:38>> Get out. It's it kind of it goes back to

45:41a little bit of what I was discussing

45:42with the Saints backfield yesterday.

45:44It's like if you plan to bring Travis

45:46Achan aboard to be a gigantic part of a

45:50committee, like what's the point of

45:51paying him $12 million per year? Gain

45:53well is not the same amount of money.

45:55It's two years, 14 million bucks.

45:57>> And maybe the Bucks response would be we

45:59had so much ambiguity about Bucky Irving

46:02after last year that we felt like we had

46:04to protect ourselves. Sure.

46:05>> But still, like wouldn't you bring Kenny

46:07Gainwell on with the idea of being at

46:09least your primary safety valve for

46:12Baker Mayfield? Well, and if your

46:14complaint about your RB1 is that his

46:16running style consistently puts him in

46:18harm's way and you're trying to save him

46:19from himself in some ways

46:21>> and play your RB2 more, right?

46:23>> Correct.

46:23>> Yeah, I'm with you. It's It's very

46:25surprising because I thought I think you

46:27solved football right there. It sounds

46:28like you just figured it out.

46:29>> But don't you feel like at at worst you

46:32could hang your hat on, hey, Kenny

46:33Gainwell doesn't he's not fifth in RB

46:36catches like he was last year, but he's

46:3813th through two weeks. You're like, you

46:40know, he he he's got seven carries, but

46:43he also has 14 targets, so giddy up

46:45Kenny Gainwell. No, not the case at all.

46:47>> No, don't love that.

46:49>> My guy is a running back I've been

46:50complaining about for a while. I think

46:52you guys talked about him on the show

46:53yesterday.

46:53>> We did. Yeah.

46:54>> Devon Aan.

46:56>> The projection this week is very high

46:59for Devon Achan.

47:00>> Is it?

47:01>> Yeah. 19 plus fantasy points.

47:03>> You think Mike's off in the forest doing

47:05drugs right now? That's where the

47:06projection came from. I mean, dude,

47:08>> definitely not. I definitely don't think

47:10that's

47:10>> why would why on earth would he have

47:14like and then like eat well done steak?

47:16>> Mike, are you too high on Devon Han?

47:19Yes, you are. Listen,

47:21>> do steakhouse mushrooms.

47:23>> What? [laughter]

47:24What are we doing?

47:26>> 10.6 fantasy points in week one, 12.3

47:29fantasy points in week two.

47:31>> All of last season, his worst outing was

47:3312.8 fantasy points. These two games

47:36were worse than every other game he had

47:38all of last season.

47:39>> Crazy

47:39>> girl.

47:40>> So, is he getting the volume? Yes, he is

47:42getting the volume check. Is he getting

47:44the game script?

47:45>> Yes,

47:46>> absolutely. They were down 75% of the

47:48game in week one. They were down 81% of

47:51the game in week two.

47:52>> Yeah,

47:53>> there is no efficiency.

47:55>> Even though we are getting some

47:56receiving game work, there's no

47:58creativity to get the ball in the hands

48:00of your best playmaker in space and let

48:02him do what he freaking does. So, at

48:05this point, Devon Achan, even though I

48:06don't like his skill set hasn't

48:08disappeared, they got to find better

48:10ways to manufacture touches for him.

48:12Period. End of story. Because even

48:13though you guys talked about it last

48:15week, he's still getting the receiving

48:16game work. I want him to have a little

48:18bit more when you're down 81% of the

48:21game. That's part of what you do.

48:23>> But still, Devon at we, we got to we got

48:25to figure this out.

48:25>> I see your frustration and may I

48:27validate it

48:28>> with a stat? Yes. Just so that I I I

48:31want to be there for you emotionally and

48:33I want you to know that you are not

48:35wrong. 6.5%

48:37of Han's runs have have gone for 10 or

48:40more yards. That is the RB42 for long

48:43runs compared to last year when he was

48:46the RB1 in breakaway runs.

48:49>> What do you do? And I'll tell you what,

48:51the answer is nothing.

48:52>> I drafted him or I drafted him. I can't

48:54trade him. I mean, his value is too low.

48:57I got to keep rolling them out there and

48:58hope that things turn around and that's

49:00it. This is just the support group for

49:01divine a chain managers.

49:03>> Does feel like a few of the trendy bust

49:05candidates before the season have played

49:08out exactly as those who were concerned

49:11expected them to, right? Is the offense

49:13is going to suck. There's not going to

49:14be nearly as much touchdown equity. To

49:16Liz's point, not going to have as many

49:18explosive runs. And it's like, yeah,

49:19through two weeks that's the case. If

49:20you're a passcatching running back, you

49:22want to be trailing by like seven to 10

49:25or 14 points. The reason I say that is

49:27it's still kind of a game when you're

49:29only down seven or 10 or 14. But when

49:32you're down 28 or 35-7 in the fourth

49:36quarter against San Francisco, one of

49:38two things is going to happen when the

49:39Dolphins offense is on the field. One is

49:42they're going to try to throw the ball

49:4430 yards down the field to try to, you

49:46know, find a way to get back into that

49:48game in a hurry, which they did have a

49:5077 yard touchdown pass in the fourth

49:52quarter when they were playing the 49ers

49:54third stringers.

49:55>> Two is Devon Aan is going to be off the

49:58field because the game is so far out on

49:59the sideline,

50:00>> right? So, yeah, tough start here for

50:01Devon. I totally agree with you, Daniel.

50:03I have him outside my top 12 for running

50:06backs in week three and I think there's

50:08going to be a healthy debate with Mike

50:09when he is back on the show tomorrow.

50:11>> Yep, I'm with you on that. All right,

50:12let's talk about some risers. Let's end

50:14on a positive note with this. Talk about

50:16guys moving up the rankings. Who do you

50:18like first?

50:18>> I mean, it's pretty obvious. There's

50:20only two tight ends this year that have

50:22been a tight end one each of the first

50:23two weeks. Trey McBride. Duh.

50:25>> Duh.

50:26>> And Daltton Concincaid. Yeah. Been

50:27amazing. You know, again, if we were

50:29just reddrafting tight ends for the rest

50:30of the season based off what we have

50:32seen so far, tight end one's going to be

50:34Trey McBride. Brock Bowers, I still

50:36believe will go tight end two and

50:38justifiably tight end three is Daltton

50:40Concincaid,

50:40>> right? He's been unlocked in this

50:42offense. He's actually playing a

50:44legitimate compliment of snaps. Josh

50:45Allen is ballin uh Daltton Concincaid is

50:48a very talented guy. Guys like

50:50Coloulston Lovelin and Tyler Warren.

50:52Warren less so than Lelin obviously, but

50:54Warren there's just no it's got to be

50:57touchdowns. Six for 21 in the touchdown

50:59and for three for 13 to the touchdown.

51:02>> Obviously those touchdowns count, but

51:04they're not going to happen every week.

51:05And if he's averaging four yards a

51:07catch,

51:08>> I mean that that's just not going to cut

51:10it to be a top three tight end. So

51:11Concaid to me feels like the tight end

51:14three in all of fantasy right now.

51:15>> Where was this in 2024 when I wrote a

51:17bunch of preseason articles about his

51:19upside? Right. I know. Goodness. Trust

51:21me. Post types. That's it.

51:24>> Wow. Yeah.

51:25>> Hey, sometimes again,

51:27>> you're never

51:28>> never wrong. Only wrong. That's it.

51:30>> Again, you don't make excuses or do make

51:33excuses for [laughter]

51:34>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Do

51:35>> do make excuses. Do make excuses.

51:37>> Don't admit error or

51:38>> was so preant. Was so preient.

51:40>> Yes. Who's your riser through the first

51:41two weeks?

51:41>> It's Jaylen Wadd. Speaking of being

51:43preent field, actually in red zone on

51:46>> fantasy football countdown. Fantasy

51:49Focus countdown.

51:50>> You now $200 in the jar. [laughter]

51:54>> I love that we locked eyes trying to

51:56figure it out.

51:57>> Almost got it.

51:58>> Just say FFC.

51:59>> Okay. FC um field on FFC mentioned that

52:03Shawn Payeyton had told his wife to

52:06draft Jaylen Wadd, which you know might

52:09hint to the fact that he planned on

52:10using him, but Shawn Payton's a little

52:11bit tricky like a fox. Like we can't

52:13always trust him. True. And finally in

52:15week two, he was unlocked. He finished

52:17uh with eight of 10 for 138, including a

52:20gorgeous 48yard contested catch right at

52:24the goal line that put the Broncos in

52:27scoring position. Obviously, um this is

52:30what the Broncos spent so much to get.

52:34So, I cannot guarantee obviously that

52:37Shawn Payeyton won't Payton and Wadd

52:39will have like a dud, right? I think we

52:41also mentioned that 10 different pass

52:42catchers were targeted in that effort,

52:45but we saw Waddle being used the way we

52:47expected he would be used. And so I'm

52:49going to stay confident. He is a locked

52:51in wide receiver too for me. And

52:53sometimes if the chips don't fall my

52:54way, I know that that's what I'm doing,

52:56but I'm also betting on the upside.

52:57>> There there's got to be an obvious

52:58answer to this. Shawn Peyton must have

53:00been playing his wife in week one,

53:02right? Like he must be in the league and

53:04he must have been playing against his

53:05wife in week one.

53:06>> Or she said, "What was that?" like he

53:09came home from work and she was like, "I

53:10w I lost my league because of you,

53:12honey." And he was like, "Well, all

53:15right. I don't want to sleep on the

53:16sofa. Let's dial it up."

53:18>> Yeah. I don't know if he slept on the

53:20Never mind. Never mind. I was thinking

53:21about the Caleb Williams like the sofa.

53:23Yeah. All that stuff. Yeah. Yeah.

53:24>> That'd be tough for him.

53:25>> Yeah. It'd be tough.

53:26>> Who's your rising?

53:27>> Uh

53:27>> I think mine is the easiest one in

53:29fantasy football. I mean, yours is was

53:30up there as well. Yeah. But Jaylen

53:32Coker's wide receiver five after the

53:34first two weeks of this season, a guy

53:36that we thought, you know, and we've had

53:37him as a sleeper for a little bit. We've

53:38seen small breakouts here and there,

53:41>> looking fantastic. Eight for 131 and two

53:43touchdowns against Chicago. And then

53:44eight for 66. Again, nine targets, 14.6

53:48fantasy points against Atlanta.

53:50>> Good at the game.

53:51>> He looks so good. He looks like a locked

53:53in wide receiver, too. Him and Tedo

53:55McMillan. I don't know if we're I we are

53:57at the point where we can call him 1A

53:58and 1B, but he is clearly

54:00>> getting real close. Yeah, we he is

54:02clearly a invested part of this offense

54:04and I don't think that's going to change

54:06as well.

54:07>> So Jaylen Coker probably my biggest

54:09riser and now is looking like a you know

54:11wide receiver too flex play depending on

54:12where you're at because of of how good

54:14he has been and the volume that he's

54:16getting. I don't think if you have him

54:18you cannot start him. It would be tough.

54:20>> You might have some really tough but fun

54:22flex options that you have to figure out

54:24because you're like boy of these guys

54:26are so good. What do I do here? like

54:28those are the best when you have those

54:29flex options.

54:29>> And reasons for confidence include the

54:31way that Bryce Young is playing. Also

54:33that looking is not totally new. He had

54:35four top 25 finishes in his final seven

54:37games last season. The idea of him being

54:40a talented guy is not some new found

54:42discovery for the Panthers. They know

54:44he's legit. They paid him this off

54:46season. It's great to see.

54:47>> Our buddy Eric Moody unfortunately

54:51>> is no longer with us in the fantasy

54:53focus knockout league.

54:54>> Okay. Whoa. He's still available

54:56everywhere on social media, Eric and

Knockout League Update

54:58Moody. Make sure that you follow him.

54:59But unfortunately, Eric

55:01>> got knocked out this week. We thought,

55:03why not bring [music] our buddy Eric in.

55:05Here he is. Look at him. Eric, sorry,

55:08man. I mean, he looks good in that suit,

55:10by the way.

55:10>> Awesome.

55:11>> That's a 1500 [music] two $2,000 suit if

55:13I ever saw Winfield Jates. [laughter]

55:16>> Why don't we welcome in OUR BUDDY ERIC?

55:18HE'S GOT THE GLASSES on himself trying

55:20to hide his crying eyes. [cheering]

55:22>> The man who holds it down for us every

55:24single day. How you doing, bud?

55:26>> You know what? I I have been better. Do

55:28you know I'm I'm dressed, you know, for

55:30a funeral today because of my uh

55:32knockout league team, and I I just want

55:35to have some words. I guess this will be

55:37the eulogy, so to speak. I felt pretty

55:39good about this team going into the

55:40draft. The draft went well. You know,

55:42Jackson Dart, you know, I had Malik

55:44Neighbors, David Montgomery, uh AJ

55:48Brown, you know, Chase Brown. So, I was

55:50feeling pretty good. Felt great. you

55:52know, in week one, I'm like, "Hey, AJ

55:54Brown, you know, he's injured, but hey,

55:56I've got pretty good depth here. I feel

55:58good going into week two." That

55:59optimism, do it dwindled. Especially on

56:03Sunday, then Sunday night, I'm sitting

56:06there, okay, I've got Monday Night

56:07Football, you know, I've got neighbors,

56:09I've got Jackson, Dart, pretty good

56:10matchup, should be high scoring. I think

56:12I'll be good. And I'll tell you this, I

56:14was sitting there watching the game. I

56:16was sitting there on the sofa. I saw

56:17Dart go down. Uh, so I just had this

56:20feeling of dread. I felt like Spider-Man

56:22in Avengers Infinity War. Thanos has

56:24snapped the Infinity Gauntlet. Half of

56:26the universe is gone. And I just felt

56:28like I felt like Tom Holliver. I was

56:30like, "Hey, Mr. Stark, I I don't feel so

56:32good." That feeling of dread just

56:35carried me through that entire game. And

56:37we all saw the outcome. The Leaf

56:39Neighbors, I'm like, "He he should be on

56:41a milk carton." I'm like, "He didn't do

56:43anything." And I'm eliminated. So, I am

56:45gone. It was a nice run. But, uh, that's

56:47all I have to say about that. Any given

56:49Sunday, right?

56:51Sorry.

56:53>> First off, Liz, this is a funeral. Have

56:54some respect.

56:55>> Seriously, some grace.

56:56>> Some grace here. Eric, we love you so

56:58much. I'm so bummed that you have lost.

57:00You literally are the thing that keeps

57:02our chat together. Follow him, like I

57:03said, on social media, Eric and Moody.

57:05Anything you want to say to him before

57:06we get out of here, Liz L.

57:07>> I thought that was the most spectacular

57:09bow out I have ever seen.

57:11>> Well done by Moody.

57:12>> Eric, he's the best. Eric, we love you,

57:14man. So sorry that you're out. I promise

57:15I'll pick up some of your good players,

57:17though, in order to keep you alive in my

57:18heart. doesn't really happen.

57:20>> Absolutely. Absolutely. Tears of joy

57:23falling now. Tears of joy. All right.

57:26>> Love you, brother.

57:28>> Oh, dang. That's so frustrating.

57:31>> Um, this is a league that has a $1,000

57:33[music] budget. I'm just reminding

57:35myself of that because

57:37>> we have a separate league that we play

57:38in. It's a fantasy staff league and

57:40James Cook was amongst the players

57:42knocked out in week one. And I bid $100

57:45on James Cook because I thought I was

57:47bidding about 10% of my budget. Uh the

57:50other league it turned out the budget

57:52was $100. Oh. So people were very

57:54surprised that I spent all my money on

57:56James know something about James Cook

57:58that we don't know. [laughter]

57:59>> Right.

58:00>> We we ended up rectifying that.

58:01>> Okay. Okay. Good. Love that.

58:03>> Read the rules as they say.

58:05>> All right. We're going to be back

58:06tomorrow. Liz Loza, you were going to be

58:08gone. Although we'll be here to take

58:09facts versus feelings in person.

58:11>> I'll be in the building on the show.

58:12Absolutely. I heard that all flights to

58:14Los Angeles have been delayed for 4

58:15months.

58:16>> Four months, Liz, congratulations. You

58:19get to live with the Double Tree.

58:20>> How many cookies can I eat?

58:22>> Let's find out.

58:23>> Guinness book [laughter] a world record.

58:25Thanks for hanging out with us.

58:26>> Maybe Mike and I will go into the woods

58:27and I'll let you know.

58:28>> Make sure. Okay. All right. Well, that's

58:30going to do it for us here on Fantasy

58:31Folks.

58:31>> We got to get out the show.

58:32>> Yes. Don't forget to love each other and

58:33be kind to yourself. We'll see you

58:35tomorrow as we dive into week three

58:37rankings. See you guys.
