Welcome to Fantasy Focus!

0:00Fantasy. You're in the 060

0:04focus.

0:06Fantasy.

0:09Fantasy focus.

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

0:15Focus Football on a Wednesday, September

0:1823rd. The boys are back in town.

0:23>> You might get a spine, so be careful

0:25with how much music you play.

0:26>> Sorry. You have six seconds, right? No,

0:28that's factually incorrect. That's not a

0:31real

0:33That's not real. No,

0:35>> that is one thing I actually do know.

0:36Hey, alongside Mike Clay, excited to see

0:38your face again, bud. And feel G8.

0:40>> Are you excited to see my face?

0:41>> You guys both Well, I'm excited to see

0:43your upper halves because you guys look

0:45good with these neck tattoos today.

0:46Paying off the punishments.

0:48>> Why didn't you put one on?

0:49>> I I did put one on. I put I put three of

0:51them on for what it's worth. Which one's

0:53Yeah, what did you put on? Let me see

0:55yours. Looks like a hot coolest one.

0:57motorcycle with flames. I might keep

0:58this actually.

0:59>> Yeah, that's a cool motorcycle.

1:00>> First of all, by the way, I'm offended

1:01because we had a pile here of options

1:02and one of the ones that was put in

1:04front of my uh little station here.

1:07What's this? Oh, the Cowboys won.

1:09>> How dare you? First of all,

1:10>> those are pretty sweet. Those is those

1:12is that eye black?

1:13>> Kind of looks like I think so, but it's

1:14the wrong tattoos as well. Chances that

1:18I bring those home and give those to my

1:19daughters today, 100.

1:20>> Very high. Very high on that one.

1:22>> You can have them. I'm not. How dare

1:24you? They'll probably be like, "Oh,

1:25cowboys. This is the coolest thing

1:26ever." But I'm more of a cowgirl myself.

1:28>> What' you pick?

1:29>> I I picked two actually. So, these came

1:31on little sleeves and I didn't realize

1:33there were two tattoos on the one. I

1:35thought one large tattoo.

1:37>> So, I think this right here is some

1:39roses.

1:40>> Okay. Got it.

1:41>> And then this one I think is more roses

1:43just in a different orientation.

1:45>> Got it. I kind of like it.

1:46>> I like I think you look good with it.

1:48>> I'm not going to lie. We got two guys

1:50now. Yeah.

1:50>> This is what happens.

1:51>> Two guys. This is how it works. You get

1:52you get a couple and then you get the

1:54itch and you just can't stop.

1:55>> Have you ever thought about getting a

1:56tattoo?

1:57>> Uh I have not. No,

1:59>> nor have I. Yeah, I haven't. And I've

2:00always but I have wondered if I ever

2:02were to get a tattoo,

2:04>> what would compel me to get a tattoo and

2:07what would it be?

2:08>> Oh, mine would obviously be an Excel

2:10spreadsheet. Like how

2:11>> Yes, it would be.

2:12>> I bet you're going to say like, you

2:13know, if the Eagles won three straight

2:14Super Bowls, you would eventually get

2:16Nick Serriani and Jaylen Herz tattooed

2:18on your shoulder.

2:19>> No, maybe maybe Nick Fos. I could see

2:21you having a list of the uh best

2:22athletes from the Brook School so that

2:24you can have like an homage to your wife

2:26obviously across the top. You know what

2:27I mean? I picked when I did my three I

2:30did uh one for my mom which is in the

2:31middle here says mom.

2:32>> Yeah. See that?

2:34>> I got to do the Yeah. The other one is I

2:36believe it's a rose.

2:37>> Oh, it's over there.

2:38>> Yep. That it's rose around an old CD. So

2:41it's very fitting for an old vinyl

2:44record is what old CDs are called, guys.

2:46That's all right.

2:46>> But some of these people listening

2:47probably don't even know what a CD is.

2:49>> That's true. And then this other one I

2:51think is

2:51>> it's a tiger fighting a snake.

2:53>> Yeah. This basically what Rosy's back

2:55piece is. Rosie has a whole back piece

2:56that's like a tiger fighting a dragon

2:58that goes from like her back all the way

2:59to

2:59>> she you guys are are equals in tattoo.

3:02>> Yes.

3:03>> She's got more than I do.

3:04>> So you you put thought and love and

3:05tears. I just picked a cool looking

3:07motorcycle flames coming out to do with

3:09tattoos. Guys,

3:10>> your dream vehicle right there.

3:11>> Well, very excited to pay off our start

3:13of the week punishment to be clear.

3:15>> Have to Yes, we'll punishment which we

3:17got. who has a new punishment this week.

3:19Let's dive into a little bit of news

3:20here before we get into the show, my

3:21friends.

3:22>> Unfortunately, sad news.

3:24>> Jackson Dart undergoing season ending

3:27surgery, my friends.

3:28>> I don't care for that at all.

3:30>> Yes, likely. But we are we are assuming

3:33that this is going to happen. If you

3:34have Jackson Dart, you need to be making

3:36other plans. Unfortunately,

3:37>> when uh Adam tweets that, it's they're

3:40considering season ending surgery and

3:41then his next text is like, "This will

3:43be the quart it's Jameus Winston. This

Jaxson Dart

3:45will be the quarterback for the rest of

3:46the season." And it's like, okay, we got

3:48we got

3:48>> we kind of know the writing. It would

3:50take probably the Giants like really

3:52hanging around, like maybe even leading

3:54the NFC East and Jackson Dart having an

3:57incredible surgery slashreovery for him

3:59to be back on the field this year. I

4:01have Jackson Dart in two leagues. He was

4:03my drop player on waiverss last night.

4:05So, it sucks this one. I mean, this one

4:07really hurts. Like, it it always sucks

4:10when a player gets hurt early in a game

4:12and you're starting him. takes the wind

4:14out of your sales, especially on Monday

4:16Night Football because in a lot of

4:17cases, it's if that player scores X

4:19number of points, I win my matchup. If

4:22he falls short of X, I'm in the defeat

4:24lane. Uh, but this one sucks also

4:26because Jackson Dart and this is Mike's

4:28guy.

4:29>> Yeah.

4:29>> Like Mike, you got QB1 overall type

4:32potential.

4:33>> Maybe QB2 because Josh Allen still

4:36exists, but in week one, he looked every

4:38bit the part of a superstar. The Giants

4:41>> had the most designed runs for any

4:43quarterback in week one. He threw the

4:44football effectively. He breathed real

4:46life into this Giants offense.

4:48>> This takes not just the wind out of the

4:50fantasy sales for all of us that have

4:52Jackson Dart. Uh but also just the

4:54Giants prospects for this upcoming year.

4:56I'll ask you though, Malik Neighbors,

4:58Isaiah Likely, how much of a downgrade

4:59in value does this to them?

5:01>> Definitely move them down a little bit.

5:02I'm hoping that I mean here's the

5:05problem is we don't know week to week

5:06which Damus Winston we're going to get

5:08you know but the good news is that when

5:10he has played in recent years he has put

5:12up big numbers I mean I look back at the

5:14last time he had an extended run of

5:16playing time six full games with

5:18Cleveland in 2024 guys he averaged 20.3

5:21fantasy points per game obviously for

5:23putting up those kind of numbers most of

5:24it's through the air with him he adds

5:26very little with his legs

5:27>> that's going to be good for the pass

5:28catchers last year two games with the

5:30Giants 11 points not good but then 32.2

5:33the next week. So, he can put up

5:34numbers. Um he didn't look great the

5:36other night, but obviously that's kind

5:38of a unique circumstance coming into the

5:39game. You're not really expecting to

5:41play that much. So, they'll adjust the

5:42game plan for sure going forward. But

5:45just the fact that it's Jameus Woods,

5:46and we say this about him all the time,

5:48>> there are way worse circumstances as far

5:50as backup quarterbacks go. So, as long

5:52as he's throwing it to neighbors seven,

5:54eight, nine, 10 times a game, he's going

5:56to be fine. And I don't think Isaiah

5:57likely is going anywhere. He's a feature

5:59on this offense. As long as they could

6:00support those two guys, he'll be fine.

6:02And obviously Cam Scataboo is the other

6:04fantasy relevant guy there. His concern

6:06is already no passing down work anyway.

6:08So as long as he keeps getting 17

6:10carries, he'll be okay in the flex

6:13conversation. But as far as the pass

6:14catchers go, at least it's Winston. We

6:16have some hope here. Field, I want you

6:18to really quickly because you do a great

6:19job of explaining this. Right now in our

6:22game, Jackson Dart not officially on IR

6:24yet. People are like, "When can I put

6:25him on IR so I can go grab another

6:27quarterback?" How does that work? When

6:28is that change going to happen? I know

6:29people are mad about this and I'm sure

6:31they were mad last night when they

6:33couldn't just IR Jackson Dart and create

6:35an open spot for

6:36>> I couldn't do it either. Yeah.

6:37>> Yep. We are all in the same boat. If the

6:40Giants put Jackson Dart on injured

6:42reserve today, he immediately becomes IR

6:45eligible. I'm going to guess the Giants

6:47will wait until Saturday afternoon. They

6:49did make a bunch of roster moves

6:50yesterday. One of them was not moving

6:52Jackson Dart to IR. I'm guessing it'll

6:55happen Saturday at 4. If the Giants come

6:58out and say today Jackson Dart will not

7:01play on Sunday, his designation will

7:03change to out as well. For now, the only

7:06people that are saying Jackson Dart's

7:08going to miss time definitively

7:10are reporters like those at ESPN.

7:13>> Correct.

7:13>> I know that gets people really

7:14frustrated. It's the way it works right

7:16now. It's a conversation starter for us

7:19at the very least. But Jackson Dart at

7:21this moment, I've got 10:07 on my watch.

7:24>> Yep.

7:24>> East Coast time is not IRL. By the way,

7:26after that Adam Shfter report, Jim Harbo

7:29was asked about this and he said,

7:31>> sorry, John Harbo was asked about this

7:32and he said they're still evaluating.

7:35So, he didn't say he's out this week, so

7:36obviously we he's still doubtful he's

7:38not out because it sucks. I we get it

7:40sucks, but

7:40>> we're dealing with it, too. But it is

7:42it's it's just the process and it's

7:43fine.

7:44>> When Adam Sher tweets it, we know that

7:45the writing is on the wall. 99.8% of the

7:48time it's going to be this thing, but we

7:50still have to wait for it to actually

7:51happen before we can also follow through

7:53within our game. This will be my last

7:54thought on it because

7:57I I totally get the frustration like I'm

7:59in the same boat I mentioned. I would

8:00have liked to have thrown I've got a

8:01team where I have a short bench and I

8:03have nobody else who's IR eligible. It

8:05would be great to

8:06>> move someone to IR. It becomes a problem

8:09like I'm just going to use this as as an

8:10example. If Adam Shaft or anybody, Shaft

8:13would be money on it. But if somebody

8:14were to tweet, JK Dobbins is not

8:17expected to play this weekend after he

8:20got banged up in week two.

8:22>> And then people said, "All right, well,

8:23he's not expected to play according to

8:24report from this outlet. We make him IR

8:28eligible because we declare him out and

8:31then he ends up playing on Sunday

8:33because it's a short-term injury one way

8:34or the other." That's the gray area,

8:36right? So you kind of have to have we

8:37need the team y

8:39>> to say it or the team to put the player

8:41on IR for our system to deem the player

8:45play player IR eligible. I get your

8:47frustration. Please take it up with my

8:49clay NFL.

8:50>> That's right. Mike Clay NFL.

8:51>> Uh one more question for you. Put put

8:53your NFL live hat on for a second. You

8:55think the Giants uh maybe

8:57>> look look at a quarterback. Maybe give

8:59Derek Carr a call. Maybe just throw

9:01that.

9:02>> Well, that was that wasn't for me. I

9:03thought you were asking me to put my NFL

9:04live on. Sorry, Mike. Sorry, I my my my

9:07guess is they probably hold the fort

9:09with Jameus Winston because if Jameus

9:10Winston doesn't play well, then they're

9:13probably not going to be staying in the

9:15race. Like they could be one and three

9:16before you know it. If he does play

9:18well, then they're just going to ride it

9:19out with Jamus. The one that I think is

9:21just interesting, and I have no reason

9:23to believe that this is going to happen.

9:24There's just been a lot of people

9:25speculating on this.

9:27>> Would you call Minnesota about JJ?

9:28>> Oh, field. JJ was of course in that

9:31draft where the Giants were trying to

9:32move up to trade up for Drake May,

9:34>> right?

9:35>> Yeah. I I just don't know if he's better

9:38than Jameus Winston and developmental

9:41developmental piece, but also like darts

9:43the quarterback next year anyway. You

9:44then trade McCarthy wave like

9:46>> Well, I'm not ready for the Jackson Dart

9:47off seasonason conversations that I

9:48think are going to happen if he does in

9:50fact miss the whole year. I think you're

9:51going to hear a lot of like Jackson

9:53Dart's really talented. We haven't seen

9:55it for a prolonged period of time. And

9:57the bigger question is whether Jackson

9:59Dar can actually stay healthy.

10:00>> Yeah.

10:00>> Another quarterback not staying healthy.

10:02Unfortunately, not only is Caleb

10:04Williams likely out, although that's not

10:06a technically official yet, Tyson Bean

10:08in the concussion protocol. And so it

10:10feels like Case Keenum is going to be

10:11our starter here. Guys,

10:13>> can it get worse than what we've already

10:15got? Mike, let me ask you this. How have

10:17you adjusted the projections with now

Bears QBs

10:20this third string quarterback under

10:21center for

10:22>> We'll keep an eye on that for now. I

10:23still have Been in there right now. I

10:26believe Begent Bay's in the concussion

10:28protocol. Obviously, we'll monitor that.

10:30I'll make that change if it looks more

10:32like he's going to sit out this week.

10:33Yeah.

10:33>> Um but it'll go I mean obviously I moved

10:37the offense expectations down as we went

10:39to Begent. If it goes to Keenum, we'll

10:40move it down a little bit further as

10:42well.

10:42>> But really, I'm not sure it really

10:43matters much if it's Keenum versus B.

10:45>> I don't know. I mean, here's the thing.

10:46Beent hasn't scored. Get ready for this.

10:48I looked last night. He hasn't scored 13

10:50points in a fantasy game since you ready

10:52for this. This is wild. 2019. You mean

10:56Keenan?

10:56>> Ken, what did I say?

10:57>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Keenan. Yeah. 2019 was

11:00the last time he scored 13 fantasy

11:01points in a game. He has just not played

11:03very much. He has played one full game

11:05over the last three years. It's kind of

11:06unreal. So, this guy's been around a

11:08while, but he just hasn't played. He's

11:10just kind of chilling as a number two or

11:12three quarterback. Uh yeah, I definitely

11:14have concerns about them, especially

11:15going up against a good Eagles offense.

11:17So, I don't think I think it's fair to

11:19say there's no lineup locks in Chicago

11:21right now. Uh there's some borderline

11:23guys Burden, Lovelin, DeAndre Swift, of

11:26course, but in terms of the pass

11:28catchers, yes, I would say Burden and

11:29Loveland are the closest. But, uh, I'd

11:31be nervous about this one for sure, at

11:32least for this week.

11:33>> I'd be nervous if Caleb Williams were

11:35out there playing on just because of the

11:37matchup, how good Philadelphia's defense

11:39is. They allowed two touchdowns to Cam

11:41Ward last week, both on runs. Um, I I

11:44actually think I'd be slightly more

11:47optimistic about the pass catchers if

11:48Case Keenum plays over Tyson Beant. Pro,

11:52experienced, gonna get the ball out

11:53quickly because he's not mobile. Caleb

11:56Williams is

11:57>> like extremely mobile. Tyson Beasent's a

12:00good athlete. Case Keenum

12:02>> is a dadbot enthusiast at this point of

12:04his career most likely. Guy's had an

12:05unbelievable run. I think if he wants to

12:06be a coach one day, he will be. He's got

12:08like he's incredibly well respected but

12:10Case isn't going to be running around

12:11the pocket and like doing a bunch of

12:13extending of plays.

12:14>> You say did you say Keenum over Beijing

12:16you would prefer?

12:17>> I would prefer for the purposes of guys

12:18like Roma Dunay and Coulson level. Yeah,

12:21that's my feeling on it. Uh it's it's a

12:23Hornets nest for either of them

12:24whichever does start in place of Caleb

12:27Williams. Um and it will be big for the

12:29arm wrestling community if Tyson Bean

12:31starts. Do you guys know that his dad

12:33>> Oh, that's right.

12:33>> One of the greatest Yeah. Like one of

12:35the greatest arm wrestlers in our

12:36country. So, if Be agent starts, I don't

12:40know how many anecdotes we'll get about

12:41arm wrestling over the next four or five

12:43days.

12:43>> Best arm wrestling movie of all time.

12:46>> Um,

12:46>> there's only one that I know of.

12:48>> I was going to say wasn't on your sports

12:49movie list. So,

12:50>> yeah. What is it?

12:51>> Over the top with Sylvester Stallone.

12:52He's a truck driver. He moves the thumb.

12:55Guys, come on. Someone else in chat has

12:57got to be able to help me out. We got a

12:58random

13:00NASCAR movies.

13:01>> Last one really quickly. Field. I think

13:03you were in on Chuba Hubard throughout

13:05this off season. And this is not a take

13:07a victory lap. But unfortunately,

13:08Jonathan Brooks set for surgery. If you

13:10have Chuba Hubard, you're going to have

13:11a free runway for probably at least 6

Jonathon Brooks

13:13weeks, if not more.

13:14>> Yeah. And to be clear, this Jonathan

13:16Brooks injured reserve move is not

13:18because of injuries he's dealt with in

13:20the past. This is a core muscle injury.

13:23He's of course dealt with a knee injury

13:25in prior seasons, and I think it was a

13:26calf or a groin in the preseason. But

13:29let's be clear, uh, my hesitation coming

13:31into the season was, "Are you going to

13:33overt tax a player

13:35>> who has been injured for two straight

13:37seasons?" Yeah. I felt the answer was

13:39clearly not.

13:40>> Not that the Panthers did not overtax

13:42Jonathan Brooks, but if you want to

13:44extrapolate this to later on in the

13:46season when he's back or even next year,

13:49>> I just think the most likely path for

13:51Jonathan Brooks to eventually becoming a

13:53featured back is for him to first show

13:55that he can be a part-time back for a

13:56full season.

13:57>> You have to be on the field, man. giddy

13:58up for Chuba for the next maybe the

14:01whole season. Truthfully, he could just

14:02I I've said it. I said it yesterday.

14:04Whatever day it was, I think he might

14:06just be this year's version of what

14:08James Connor was for all those years.

14:09>> I think you're right. I thought that was

14:10a good comp yesterday.

14:11>> Yeah. Squarely in the RB2 mix going

14:13forward. And next man up there is our

14:15old friend AJ Dylan.

14:16>> AJ Dylan. That's fun. You know, he's

14:17kind of bounced around in the league.

14:18Hasn't had a big role since he was with

14:20the Packers. Former Yeah. Oh, yeah.

14:23Uh he's gotten a little bit of garbage

14:25time work in weeks one and two, but now

14:26he is a path to maybe 30% of the carries

14:29or so in this offense. So not a guy

14:32you're racing to add right now, but uh

14:34situation of minor. Certainly an

14:35interesting insurance running back

14:36because they don't have anyone else. I

14:38mean Trevor Trevor Aanetn

14:41is on IR. He'll be back in a couple

14:42weeks, but they're pretty short-handed

14:44at running.

14:44>> I think they signed someone to the

14:46practice squad, but I'll have to I think

14:47I may have seen that this morning.

14:48>> Yeah. Like

14:50>> how about that? That's right. Yeah.

14:52Speaking of friends, Austin working out.

14:54Love that.

14:54>> I didn't see that. All right,

14:56>> really quickly, guys. Starts of the week

14:58from last week. Let's pay off what

15:00everybody looked like. Mike, why don't

15:02you give us what your lineup was? I

15:03think you didn't do too bad, my friend.

15:05>> Oh, I did it. I It was uh

15:06>> You were second place in week one,

15:08second place in week two. Like this one.

15:09Dak crushed it.

15:11>> David Montgomery was it Ouch. Uh Garrett

15:14Wil I chased the chased the three

15:15touchdowns in week one. You can never do

15:17that. I should have known better.

Starts of the Week

15:18Garrett Wilson found the end zone. Well,

15:20and then how about this guy? Travis

15:22Kelce made the perfect week to use

15:25Travis Kelce. 25.1 points, but that was

15:27not good enough to beat Field Yates.

15:30>> Yeah. So, Mike scores 76.06 fantasy

15:33points. That's a darn good lineup there.

15:35And

15:35>> only one dud. Yeah, you look great.

15:36Those other three were fantastic. What

15:38about you, Field? What would you line

15:39up?

15:39>> Remember, I led the proceedings last

15:41week with Brock Pury, who certainly paid

15:42off with 28 points or eight fantasy

15:45points. DeAndre Swift was my running

15:47back. Isaiah likely was my tight end.

15:48and Swift and Likely were both fine. But

15:51the big one was I pivoted. Remember

15:52this. I said this on the show Friday.

15:54>> Oh yeah,

15:55>> Z Flowers was my original pick.

15:56>> Why did we let him do this?

15:57>> My pivot was to Devonte Adams. If Zay

16:00was out, Zay was out. Devonte Adams was

16:03very much in 39.5 fantasy points.

16:06>> So Adam could have had a great day and I

16:08could have still beaten you. But no, he

16:09had to put up 40.

16:11>> Well, the more important part is like

16:12it's it's nice to win starts of the

16:14week, but you don't want to lose starts

16:16of the week. And guys, I should have

16:18just not used Devonte Adams.

16:20>> Did he outscore Daniel's whole team?

16:21Yes, he did.

16:22>> You guys both could have just started

16:24one quarterback and you would have

16:25outscored my entire team. Justin Herbert

16:27fell flat second week in a row, guys.

16:30It's awful. Javvante Williams only eight

16:32fantasy points. Mike Evans, boy, it's

16:34weird. Brock Perie did really great for

16:36field. Only 8.4 fantasy points for me.

16:39And then there's no way Colston Love

16:41does it again.

16:43>> One point fantasy points. I have a total

16:45of 25.58.

16:47You guys had a combined three players

16:50that scored more than my entire team by

16:52themselves.

16:53>> I had two of those guys on my week one

16:55team and one.

16:56>> That's disgusting.

16:57>> Well, you should have to spin twice.

16:59>> The common thread right now is Justin

17:00Herbert and Coloulston Lovelin are the

17:02ultimate letdown players in starts of

17:03the week because backto-back weeks

17:05they've been on starts of the week and

17:06backto-back weeks the person who

17:08rostered them lost. So, I'm glad that

17:11Daniel and I

17:12>> by rule cannot pick either of those

17:14players again.

17:16>> You know what's going to happen? That

17:17Mike's going to pick one of those two

17:18guys very soon and they're going to go

17:20off. That's going to be the weakest.

17:22>> Wait, everyone loses is still on there.

17:23We need to cross that off.

17:24>> Oh, that one's got to stay on. All

17:25right, so as a reminder, I now have to

17:27spin the loser punishment.

17:28>> That's a new one.

17:29>> Um, is there

17:32>> Wear rival gear. That's an easy one.

17:34>> That's Boy.

17:34>> It feels like kind of a nice Here you

17:36go. Let's see.

17:37>> Yeah, feel nicer. I actually don't mind

17:39these tattoos. For the record, if

17:40there's a couple on there that I'm a

17:41little bit weird,

17:41>> do you? I'm not I'm not loving the beer

17:43mile. I don't really love smelling

17:45salts. Uh,

17:46>> I think those are fine.

17:47>> Whack the leg.

17:48>> Let's do it.

17:48>> All right, here we go. In three, two,

17:50one. I'm going to spin spin spin spin

17:52spin.

17:52>> If you get spin again, it would be

17:54hilarious.

17:55>> As the wheel is spinning, we're slowing

17:57down on Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

18:01>> Wax leg.

18:04>> Yes, I did not want that one. I just

18:06texted you guys about this. You're like,

18:08"OH MY GOSH."

18:09>> YES.

18:09>> That's

18:10>> anything with a wax leg.

18:11>> All right. Well,

18:12>> can I say something though?

18:14>> If anybody at this company

18:16>> would be down to have their leg waxed.

18:18>> Yes.

18:19>> And not make us think about it.

18:20>> Do we need to do it live on the show

18:22while we give analysis?

18:23>> I I don't know about that.

18:24>> We take a video afterwards saying,

18:25"Okay, that's what we do." You

18:27immediately were like, "No, I don't want

18:28to be in the room.

18:28>> You do it at home or something."

18:30>> You do it at home. I'll close my eyes.

18:32the person who literally got a tattoo on

18:34TV back in the day. That's you.

18:37>> I feel like you are about as down to

18:39have your leg waxed as anybody at ESPN.

18:41>> Absolutely. Absolutely.

18:42>> Oh, good luck with that. I'm glad I

18:43didn't get

18:44>> Have you ever had a a leg wax? No.

18:46>> Um, not a leg wax. No.

18:48>> Have you ever had any part of your body

18:49waxed?

18:49>> Yes. Do you want to ask me a couple more

18:50questions?

18:51>> You know, I think I'm good there,

18:52Daniel. I just wonder if like maybe

18:53Well, I was thinking maybe like you have

18:54a tattoo on a like, you know, if you had

18:56a chest tattoo, would you wax? Okay.

18:58They they will they'll get you get

19:00shaved before you do all that just

19:01because

19:02>> moving on. All right,

19:04>> Sanders check-in, guys, by the way.

19:05Quick Sanders check-in. None of us got

19:06it this week, unfortunately. We had a

19:08couple of decent options on the table,

19:10but none of us were able to hit. Diami

19:12Brown actually had a couple of targets.

19:13>> Didn't Dam Brown like have a near

19:15touchdown.

19:15>> It was very close.

19:16>> Yeah.

Raheim Sanders Monopoly Fund

19:17>> Yep. Roman Wilson not quite as involved

19:19as we thought. And Kyle Williamsard took

19:22over. Yeah. Kyle Williams again, we

19:23thought he'd get a little more run. Had

19:25a few targets, but again, didn't hit for

19:26that long touchdown. So, we're stuck at

19:280.5% when we are picking again this

19:30week, my friends.

19:31>> Back on track.

19:32>> We also have what I'm calling the stink

19:34of the week. I forgot to solicit this.

19:36>> Presented by Daniel Dopp's week three,

19:38week two start of the week team.

19:39>> Uh yeah, presented by Flatulence. Um I'm

19:42asking to see the best worst fantasy

19:44lineup each and every week. I do this

19:46after Monday Night Football. Um and for

19:49that, we present the stink of the week.

Stink of the Week

19:54Amazing.

19:59All right. And this week's stink of the

20:01week, a lot of great options here comes

20:03from Toby Montana, Lenny Lou 332 on

20:07Twitter.

20:08>> Let me give you this lineup. He lost by

20:10112 points.

20:12>> This is an amazing amazing outcome. Tell

20:14me when you hear the bad player on this

20:16roster because I don't see any of them.

20:18Justin Herbert, Saquon Barkley, Chase

20:22Brown, Malik Neighbors,

20:26DJ Moore, Dallas Gddard, Javvante

20:30Williams, Jadarium Price, and the

20:33thicker kicker, Harrison Meas,

20:35>> right? Without looking, that lineup had

20:37to have scored 120, right? I mean,

20:39that's so that's too good.

20:40>> Half PPR, and he scored 35.4 fantasy.

20:44>> That's brutal. He played against Devonte

20:46Adams who scored 35.5 fantasy points.

20:50His opponent could have literally left

20:52his quarterback, two running back, other

20:54receiver, two flex tight end, and

20:56defense or sorry, kicker unavailable and

20:58he would have still won.

21:00>> Can you imagine that? Your your opponent

21:02messes up and they only start like one

21:03player that's like by-weeks injuries.

21:05They only have one player, it's Dvonte

21:06Adams, and they they win.

21:08>> They beat your whole lineup. That

21:09literally happened.

21:12Literally, that had to happen. That's

21:13lit. We're talking about it like it

21:14never happened. Is this your burner?

21:15>> You both did it to me. Yeah.

21:17>> That's brutal for you.

21:18>> That's a tough stink of the week.

21:19>> That's three That's three players that

21:21didn't even hit one fantasy point.

21:23>> Yeah, that's that's that's really bad

21:25right there. That's really tough. That

21:27might be. So, I think um candidate

21:29definitely like we went from nonPR last

21:31week to half PPR this week. It might

21:33help our audience if next week we we

21:35find more stinks that are full PPR just

21:37because we talk about full PPR mostly

21:39here. Um, but yeah, that's a tough like

21:41it's not like if you had given that full

21:43PPR scoring, this would have been a

21:45monster number. It would have been like

21:4643. That guy might score 180 this week.

21:48>> Yeah. Yeah, that's true. He's got a good

21:49team. If Jadarian Price is healthy and

21:51same with Saquon Barkley, he will be in

21:53good shape. All right,

21:54>> let's talk about some of those guys.

21:56Actually, speaking of players in week

21:57three, couple of rankings here.

22:00>> We're going to bring to you a full

22:01screen with some of the top rankings.

22:03Talk about a few of the guys starting at

QB rankings

22:04the quarterback spot. Number one,

22:06obviously Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,

22:08Brock Perie, Patrick Mahomes at four,

22:11and then Jaylen Herz, that's the top

22:13five, six through 10. Tyler Shuck at

22:16six, Dak Prescott at seven,

22:18>> Trevor May at Trevor Lawrence at eight.

22:21Drake May has fallen all the way to nine

22:23and Jordan Love right now at 10.

22:25>> May May's uh slow start. He's not Drake

22:28Maymay anymore. He's going to say,

22:30>> that's bad. It's not good. Do you guys

22:33do you both because these are consensus

22:35rankings. Do you both have Drake May

22:36inside the top 10?

22:37>> I do. Yes. I believe I'm at nine right

22:39where he is.

22:40>> I believe I have him at 10 as

22:41>> We'll get into Yeah, we're going to talk

22:43about him here right now, actually.

22:44>> Well, then why don't we talk about him

22:45right now?

22:45>> All right. Yeah, that was my pick for

22:46the quarterbacks of the week here on

22:48Drake May. It's two games, so sample

22:51sizes are small for all of these

22:52players. Finding good or bad things can

22:54be hard to come by depending on how

22:56those first two weeks went.

22:57>> Not with this first week.

22:58>> Let me Yeah. Well, let me give you the

22:59things that have gone well so far for

23:01Drake May as we are thinking about

23:03>> his prospects for week three.

23:05>> Okay. And next, okay,

23:07>> he has the fifth most rushing attempts

23:08amongst quarterbacks. Like, we know that

23:10Drake May is a very mobile. He's a is an

23:12elite athlete and he was nearly the MVP

23:16last year. He's a very, very good

23:17quarterback. If you're looking for

23:19silver linings, he also faced two

23:20legitimately good defenses through two

23:23weeks. And in large part because they

23:26played against Drake May, the Seahawks

23:27and the Steelers have allowed the fewest

23:29fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

23:31Again, they're just two weeks. In large

23:33part because they play Drake May.

23:35>> But my gut's talking to me on this one,

23:37though.

23:38>> I I just something about the way this

23:40kid is wired and what we saw last mean

23:43going out on a limb imagining that Drake

23:45May can bounce back. This kid's an

23:46absolute stud. I think he's hearing the

23:49noise. This Jacksonville defense is

23:51good. I don't think it's as good as

23:52Seattle's for sure. I don't think it's

23:54as good as Pittsburgh's either. I think

23:56Drake May bounces back this week. This

23:58is not a must-win for the Patriots. It's

24:00only week three, but for a team that

24:02plays Buffalo next week after giving

24:05away week one when they should have won

24:07that game in Seattle, this feels like a

24:09very consequential game for the Patriots

24:11in Jacksonville. Even without AJ Brown,

24:14I think Drake May has his best game by a

24:16large margin in week three. as someone

24:18who has Drake May on a lot of squads.

24:20>> Yeah,

24:20>> it is a must-win because I've started 0

24:22and2 in part because of him win.

24:25>> Yes, it is a must win for me this year.

24:26I

24:26>> think he bounces back.

24:27>> I still have him as a starter as well.

24:29You've got him even higher than us,

24:30Mike.

24:30>> Yeah, I'm actually at seven. I thought I

24:31was a hair lower, but again, there's so

24:33many quarterbacks in that range. It

24:34makes sense that I wouldn't remember if

24:36he's seven, eight, or nine. Uh yeah,

24:38look, under including the playoffs last

24:40year, under 18 fantasy points in seven

24:42straight. But again, context matters.

24:44They played Pittsburgh, Seattle twice,

24:46Denver, Houston, and the Chargers during

24:48that run. I mean, it's been a brutal

24:50stretch of defenses for him.

24:51Jacksonville has faced so far Deshun

24:54Watson and Bo Knicks. They're allowing

24:559.3 yards per pass attempts at second

24:57highest in the NFL. So perhaps there's

24:59room for May to get going through the

25:00air. And again, he can make value with

25:02his uh

25:03>> good call here.

25:04>> His uh legs. I don't even think it's a

25:05good call. I mean, we had him like top

25:07three or four quarterback, right? We we

25:08downgraded him because of the matchups

25:10and he appropriately followed suit and

25:12struggled against two good defenses. Now

25:14it's more of a neutral or plus matchup.

25:16He should bounce back. If he doesn't,

25:17then we could panic a little bit because

25:18something's wrong.

25:19>> You got to know better than to talk to

25:21Clay eye about a gut call field. Like

25:23that was that's just silly. That's just

25:25silly.

25:25>> Who's your quarterback of the week,

25:26Daniel?

25:27>> My quarterback this week is Patrick

25:28freaking Mahomes. I believe that is his

25:30middle name.

25:31>> I believe it is. Yeah,

25:31>> guys. Patrick Mahomes has been

25:32unbelievable actually to start this

25:34amazing.

25:34>> First two weeks have been great. 21.6

25:36fantasy points in week one, 28.9 in week

25:39two, and then he gets the Dolphins in

25:42week three. Six total touchdowns for

25:44Patrick Mahomes through the first two

25:45weeks.

25:46>> Dolphins have also allowed six total

25:48touchdowns to quarterbacks through the

25:49first two weeks of the season. This is a

25:51great situation that he set for set up

25:53for an easy mustart in this one. The

25:56projection though, Mike, I wanted to ask

25:57you about this. It like feels low to me.

26:0019.6 fantasy points. I think part of

26:02that has to be, and tell me if I'm wrong

26:03with this narrative, there's got to be a

26:05little bit of concern

26:07that they just like get up by so much

26:09that there's not much passing in the

26:11second half. I mean, they do all their

26:13damage. You think it's going to be a

26:14blowout, but the other side of like that

26:16blowout is what if KW3 has three rushing

26:19touchdowns and Patrick Mahomes has 185

26:21passing yards and one passing touchdown.

26:23>> Yeah, I mean that's definitely a a part

26:25of the formula is game script of course

26:27and we do expect them to win this game

26:30handily. Uh, you know, Ken Walker's

26:32projected as RB2 because we expect him

26:34to be running the football a lot and had

26:35a high. Um, they are they were very

26:38runheavy in week one, but as I thought

26:40would happen, as I talked about

26:41throughout the offseason, they shifted

26:42right back to throwing the ball last

26:43week because Andy Reid loves to throw

26:45the football. That does help Mahomes a

26:47little bit, but uh, yeah, I think that,

26:49you know, again, Miami's allowed the

26:50most fantasy points to running backs,

26:51the seventh most of quarterbacks. I

26:53mean, you should be able to ball against

26:55them for sure, and that could limit him

26:56a little bit, but again, he's QB5.

26:58That's the highest we've had him so far.

27:00He's going

27:00>> QB2 for me to be clear.

27:01>> Yes, I'm in.

27:02>> I mean in the pro the projection is QB5.

27:04>> I know my ranking is QB2. You guys both

27:06have him as QB5.

27:07>> I have a league in which I have both

27:09Drake May and Patrick Mahomes and I'm

27:11starting Patrick Mahomes obviously.

27:13>> I told you guys that was my dilemma

27:15coming into week one. I was like money

27:16where my mouth is. Mahomes over Drake

27:18May. I did it last week as well. I'm

27:21doing it this week and it's not because

27:22of them. Like it's not just because of

27:24the matchup, right? Like right now my

27:25confidence index in Patrick Mahomes is

27:27on par. It's probably higher than my

27:29confidence index with Drake May. Yeah.

27:32Which is just classic because in this

27:34league that I have Drake May, it's this

27:36salary cap keeper league and players can

27:38be extended after their second year. And

27:40I am telling you that every and I'm I I

27:42don't think I'm exaggerating here. Every

27:44time I've extended a player, which

27:46you're only extending guys that you

27:47think are a good

27:49>> and b their salary increases

27:52>> pretty significantly when you do extend

27:54them. It's like they're not only good,

27:55but they're good values. I drafted Drake

27:57May for a dollar in a $200 budget. So, I

28:00extended him for two years to get it up

28:02to $11 for each of the two subsequent

28:05the for the third year, fourth year, and

28:07fifth year. And I I told the guys, I was

28:09like, given my history in this league,

28:11I'm telling you that Drake May is going

28:13to be playing in the XFL next year.

28:14Like, it's just the way it works. And of

28:16course, the first two weeks, Drake May

28:18has been brutal and that league has a

28:20ton of Patriots fans in it. So, they are

28:22mostly blaming me.

28:23>> Yeah, that's not unfortunately.

28:25>> It's definitely my fault. This game's in

28:26Oh, go ahead.

28:27>> No, you go. You go.

28:28>> Uh, I was going to say the uh game is in

28:30Miami. Just wanted to check the weather.

28:31Uh, because sometimes there's like

28:33little trap games at Miami early in the

28:35season when it's super hot. 87, partly

28:37cloudy, a little rain. So, nothing to be

28:38nothing to worry about.

28:39>> Let's be honest, Mike wanted to check

28:40the weather in Miami to see if he could

28:42get down there real quick for the

28:43weekend.

28:44>> I was thinking, should I take the pot

28:45off Friday and fly down?

28:47>> That's it. Uh, Mike, you know who hasn't

28:49disappointed so far? I'm glad you guys

28:50are finally seeing some of the things

28:51that I was trying to tell everyone about

28:53this offseason.

28:54>> You're right about him. has looked good

28:56so far through the first two weeks and

28:57it's only two weeks.

28:58>> You here to phrase that. You were right

29:00about him.

29:00>> About him? Yes. Only one.

29:02>> I'll give you him.

29:02>> I'll give you that guy.

29:03>> Uh no. Uh yeah, he's been look redot

29:06fantasy his fantasy output. His last

29:08four games tracing back to last season.

29:1021.9 21.8 23.2 22.4. His two best games

29:15have come this season as well. Um and

29:17actually if you go back even further,

29:19the four games before that he had 17

29:21plus in all of them. So, he's had 17

29:23plus fantasy points in eight consecutive

29:25games. Right now, I know this is

29:27inflated by what happened in week one

29:28with the overtime game, but leads the

29:30NFL in completions and passing yards.

29:32The passing volume, as expected, came

29:34back to earth last year. The

29:35>> efficiency was still the same. Remember

29:37I was saying he was 7.3 yards per

29:38attempt last year, 7.3 in week one, 7.4

29:41last week. So, progress. Yep. But

29:43basically the same uh but he did start

29:45running again last week, which is a huge

29:48development. Nine for 23 and a

29:50touchdown. They play the Raiders this

29:52week. They've actually been better than

29:54expected. They slowed down Justin

29:55Herbert and Malik Willis, but they've

29:57also faced

29:58the seventh fewest pass attempt. So,

30:00>> the Raiders saying that they have been

30:02better than expected is also like saying

30:04the Chargers clearly haven't been as

30:06good as expected. And then you played

30:07Malik Willis and the Dolphins. Like,

30:08>> yeah, Justin Herbert may have slowed

30:10Justin Herbert down as much as the

30:11Raiders did. No doubt. a really good

30:14test for Tyler Shuck in two weeks

30:16because which is against the Vikings

30:18because there's a part of me that I I

30:19have Shuck ranked sixth six. I'm right

30:22there with you guys like I I'm in line

30:24for this week. If if I were going to

30:26make the argument against Tyler Shuck

30:29going forward, it would be well, you

30:31know, he kind of feasted on bad

30:32competition down the stretch last year

30:35and this year he's been aided by the

30:36fact that his team has been so bad in

30:38the first half that the game script has

30:40been so fantasy friendly that it'd be

30:42nice to see him a against like not a

30:45terrible team and b like do it

30:48efficiently and do it for 60 full

30:50minutes as opposed to 30 minutes. But

30:52then you look at their schedule and

30:54you're like, I don't know. There are a

30:55lot of teams that they're going to move

30:56the football against. Yeah. The Raiders

30:59this week, the Falcons next week. Not

31:01scared there.

31:02>> Obviously the Vikings I mentioned is

31:03scary in two weeks. Giants, Steelers,

31:06that game is in Paris. That would be

31:08tough. Uh Browns, TBD, Panthers, Bears,

31:11Bengals, Packers, Panthers, Bucks, like

31:15Cardinals, Falcons,

31:17>> very little down the stretch. So, so as

31:19much as I'd like to see him just like

31:20string it together against good teams,

31:23like that that may matter next year, but

31:25it may not matter this year.

31:26>> By the way, if we were going to list his

31:27hardest games of the year at Baltimore,

31:29week two would have been on that list.

31:30And he just did great. So, I mean,

31:32>> but again, like he did great when they

31:33were getting smoked in the first half.

31:35>> I don't think their defense is going to

31:36be substantially better going forward,

31:37though. I mean that

31:38>> my point is like I think I would be even

31:41more convinced that this is like nothing

31:43to worry about whatsoever if he had come

31:45out and this was a game that they ended

31:47up winning by a touchdown but they were

31:49never down 17 points.

31:50>> Sure. So

31:51>> I think there are two things for me and

31:52then I'll move on from Tyler Shuck. One

31:53I think like his connection with his

31:56receivers looks legit. Like him and

31:58Chris Oris just looks unbelievable.

32:00>> He'll be discussing the wide receiver.

32:02He's getting Jordan Tyson back in about

32:04maybe a month.

32:05>> Devon Valle has looked really good as

32:07well in that offense. And I really do

32:09think that um

32:12>> Nope. It just left my head.

32:14>> Running backs.

32:14>> Yep.

32:15>> Jan,

32:16>> that happened to you. I feel like the

32:17other week you happens all the time.

32:20>> Yeah. Let's dive in. No worries.

32:21>> Welcome to

32:23yell out when you think of this. Right.

32:24>> All right. Let's talk about some running

32:25backs, my friends.

32:26>> Our stock watch later. Let's get to it.

RB rankings

32:28>> Jir Gibbs at one. Kenneth Walker the

32:30third at two. Christian McAffrey, Bejan

32:32Robinson, Jonathan Taylor, Derek Henry,

32:35Ashton Genty, and James Cook. Those are

32:37the top eight. Chase Brown, Bree Hall,

32:39Saquon Barkley, Devon Achan, Omari

32:41Hampton, Javvante Williams, Bucky

32:43Irving, and Cam Scataboo.

32:45>> That's the top 16 there of running backs

32:48so far this week. And then 17, 18, and

32:5119, Chuba Hubard, DeAndre Swift, Aaron

32:54Jones, and Kairen Williams.

32:56>> Guys, can I talk to you about DeAndre

32:57Swift a little bit? Go

32:58>> for it. Yes, my guy uh I don't think did

33:00I not see him in the top 20? Maybe I

33:02messed up there.

33:03>> Uhoh.

33:03>> He's in my top 20, but we'll get to him

33:05in a second.

33:05>> Yep.

33:06>> Yeah, we Yes, we will.

33:07>> Board bet action coming in there.

33:08>> DeAndre Swift 32.4 fantasy points in

33:11week one and then last week obviously

33:12the Bears and Vikings game was really

33:14tough. 12.9 fantasy points. He's the

33:16only thing that actually looked good.

33:17>> The thing that I'm hanging my hat on and

33:19the reason why he's still a starter when

33:21all of the other Bears don't give me

33:22that same confidence, he had 19 touches

33:24in both of the games. Daniel, it could

33:26have so easily been 21 fantasy points

33:28for DeAndre Swift. He fumbled on the one

33:30yard

33:31>> on the one.

33:32>> He puts that in. He gets an additional

33:348.1 fantasy points.

33:35>> Yep. Scored less points this week, but

33:37actually played more snaps this week.

33:38It's a 6040 snap split right now between

33:40him and Kyle Manungai. But he has gotten

33:43literally all of the goal line work. He

33:45is the only one being used at the goal

33:47line. He's also their better pass

33:48catcher. So, even though this is a

33:50really tough matchup against the

33:51Philadelphia Eagles, last two running

33:53backs to play them, they're not, you

33:54know, you know, burners. JCM scored

33:5612.6. Tony Pard scored 7.5 with the

34:00running back or with the quarterback

34:01situation and the and the, you know,

34:03what the Bears are going to be at. We've

34:04all just like lowered DeAndre Swift to

34:05more of a low-end RB2. Adjusting our

34:08expectations, unfortunately, against

34:09Mike's difficult defense.

34:11>> Say it the same way. Mike, who's your

34:12guy?

34:12>> Uh, mine is Quinn Sean Judkins. I'm

34:14thinking this is the week for him to

34:16make a leap forward after a slow start

34:17for sure. Uh obviously a terrible start

34:20so far this season. Uh he now actually

34:22hasn't cleared 10.1 fantasy points in

34:24five straight games going back to last

34:26season with five targets last week. He's

34:28played almost 70% of the snaps this

34:30season. And now they after two road

34:32games, they come back home and they face

34:33Carolina. They've allowed a league high

34:3646 yards to running backs through two

34:39games. And I know Chicago crushed in

34:40week one, but don't forget they allowed

34:42148 yards to LA and his running backs

34:44last week as well. I think Judkins, this

34:46is the week. If it doesn't happen this

34:47week, guys, it's panic time.

34:48>> Yep. I would agree on that, Mike. I uh

34:50this Cleveland team, listen, they proved

34:52a lot of people as in this guy wrong

34:54last week. We'll see whether this

34:56offense might just get to like even if

34:58it's below average. That would be well

35:01above what I thought it was going to be,

35:03especially after what we saw in week

35:04one. Like I thought we were talking

35:05about a bottom three offense in the NFL.

35:07If they can become the 23rd offense in

35:09the NFL, that is good enough for

35:11Quinshan Judkins to see his fantasy

35:13value.

35:13>> They have the piece. It's the O line

35:15that really scares me. They have the

35:16skill guys for sure. They just have to

35:18bring it all together.

35:19>> I got to see it for more than one week

35:20from Deshawn.

35:21>> I agree. Yeah, I agree.

35:22>> Most interesting running back. Say

35:24again.

35:24>> Take us to therapy field.

35:26>> Um most interesting running back name on

35:28the list, Devon

35:29>> Hen. Uh we have a gigantic gap in our

35:32rankings here. Mike is up at RB8. I'm up

35:34I'm up at RB 15. Not quite in the

35:36middle, but close to the middle of where

35:38Daniel is at Arby 20. Let's do the good

35:40and the bad here for Devon Han like we

35:42did with Drake May. The good for Han. If

35:44I told you a player was second in

35:46running back snap percentage, seventh in

35:48running back receptions, fourth in

35:49running back target share, you'd like

35:51all that, right?

35:52>> Yes.

35:52>> The bad is that he's getting a lot of

35:54volume, but not getting he's not very

35:57efficient right now. 58th in fantasy

35:59points per touch amongst running backs

36:01>> and 42nd in his percentage of runs

36:04gaining 10 plus yards which as Liz noted

36:06yesterday has been one of the strengths

36:08of Han's game as explosive runs are part

36:10of what he brings to the table. I'm

36:12lower than Mike, obviously higher than

36:14Daniel, but I am definitely worried that

36:16this game against Kansas City is a

36:18blowout, which I think there's a chance,

36:20despite what his snap percentage shows

36:22in the first two weeks, that if this is

36:24an absolute blowout, that the Dolphins,

36:26who are thinking about the future in

36:28general, are going to start to pull the

36:30cord here on Devon Han in the third and

36:33fourth quarters of games. I'll say they

36:34didn't last week. I mean, that's why I'm

36:36so high on him is the fact that they

36:37just were exactly what we wanted them to

36:39do in week one and we criticize them for

36:41not doing, they did in week two. I mean,

36:42they just kept giving it to him over and

36:44over and over and he got to what 100

36:46yards or he was right around 100 yards

36:47in that game. And it just takes one I

36:49mean, if he does that again and has one

36:51big play where finally starts scoring,

36:53even if he scores six touchdowns this

36:55year or something, like he's going to

36:56he's going to hang in there with this

36:58volume plus those touchdowns, like he's

37:00going to be okay.

37:00>> Potential board bet between you two.

37:02>> He will not score six touchdowns this

37:03year.

37:04Oh, I was thinking like RB8 versus RB20

37:07for this week. Split the difference.

37:08RB14.

37:08>> I'm happy.

37:09>> Could be touchdown based. Whatever you

37:10guys want.

37:10>> Also, he won't score six touchdowns this

37:12season. I will happily take that board

37:13bet.

37:13>> Two separate board bets.

37:15>> Okay. So, we have two separate board

37:16bets. One for this week. You're saying

37:18RB 14 or worse. You're 14 or better.

37:21>> Devon Chan will finish as RB 14 or worse

37:25in week three.

37:26>> Von Han will finish better than 14th.

37:28No, you said 14th or worse. You say 14th

37:30or better. And we can tie if it's RB

37:32field get forced to eat their better

37:33here in week three.

37:35>> Put on the board on the board.

37:36>> Also, I'm going to do this cuz I really

37:38want to do it. I say Devon Han

37:39unfortunately does not score six

37:41touchdowns in 202.

37:42>> I think Devon Han will score six

37:44touchdowns here in 2026.

37:45>> Put on the board.

37:47>> Do play Do the playoffs count, too?

37:52>> What?

37:52>> I almost said no, but then I thought

37:54about that question.

37:55>> I got you. I got you.

37:56>> That was so good. Thank you, Michael.

37:58Let's rip wide receivers and tight ends

38:00cuz I want to get to our stockwatch and

38:01our random rankings.

38:02>> All right, Jackson Smith and Jigba, Aman

38:04Rod, Jamar Chase, Puka, Nakua if he

38:06plays, Justin Jefferson, Chris Olive, CD

38:08Lam, Devonte Smith at the top eight, Z

38:11Flowers, Parker Washington, Garrett

38:12Wilson, Drake,

38:13>> Parker,

38:14>> Malik Neighbors, Christian Watson, Tedro

38:16McMillan, and Nico Collins top 16. And

38:19then Jaylen Coker, George Pickkins,

WR rankings

38:22Jaylen Wadd, and Lad McConi round out

38:25the top 20. Poke Coker and Parker

38:27shooting up the board up.

38:29>> They are guys. I told you about uh Tyler

38:31Shuckfield. Why don't you tell me about

38:32his pass catcher?

38:33>> Yeah, let's talk about Chris Ave who

38:35this could be very quick because I just

38:36want us to think about introducing him

38:38into that elite tier of wide receiver.

38:40Like we're not talking about him in the

38:42same territory as Puka and Jamar Chase

38:44and guys and being like really? No. Like

38:46yes.

38:47>> Um so far he's fourth in fantasy points

38:49per game amongst wide receivers, second

38:51in routes, targets and catches, third in

38:54receiving yards. This goes back to last

38:56year as well where he had this

38:57remarkable breakout season and I know

38:59they've had very favorable game scripts

39:01as we talked about in the Tyler Shuck

39:03conversation, but if you just watch the

39:05player, it just feels like he's due for

39:07a highlight reel play or two per game.

39:09What an amazing player he is. What a

39:11great story of a guy staying healthy and

39:13producing at the level that remember the

39:15Saints made this very bold and audacious

39:18trade way back in the day when they

39:19acquired Chris Lave where they gave up

39:22an extra first to Philadelphia which

39:23Philly turned into like nine good things

39:25because they're the Eagles. And the

39:27Chris Ave bet they made has now paid

39:29off. He's just an awesome player. He is

39:31a top seven wide receiver in all of our

39:33ranks.

39:34>> He's awesome.

39:35>> Yeah, he is. He's trending up. My guy is

39:37trending the wrong way, fellas. Rasheed

39:39for week one. Yeah, two for 19 and a

39:41touchdown in week one. Four for 83 on

39:43six targets in week two. That's

39:44progress. Although about half of those

39:45yards came on like the end of the second

39:47quarter was like a garbage time sort of

39:50play. Uh so that was a little

39:52concerning. Target shares 12% this year

39:54was 28% over the last two years. So a

39:56lot of red flags here. The good news is

39:58the snap share the route participation

40:00or career highs for him. So hopefully

40:01that will turn into more reliance but it

40:03has not been there so far. The reason

40:05we're going to keep them in our lineups

40:06this week is the matchup. Miami five

40:08touchdowns allowed through the air

40:09despite facing the third fewest pass

40:11attempts. So, it is a good spot. But

40:13again, much like with Judkins, if it

40:14doesn't happen this week, we're going to

40:16have a we're going to have to have

40:17another convers the only if if I'm

40:19trying to find a justification

40:22for why it's been slow to start, how he

40:23can get better is if that knee injury is

40:26something that he is, you know, healthy

40:28enough to play through, but he's kind of

40:30a ramp up guy throughout the year. But

40:32otherwise, yeah, it's it's a dire

40:34>> because he when he gets the ball, he

40:35looks good. Like to me, he looks good. I

40:37feel like he's not limited and he's

40:38running well, but it's just they're not

40:40dialing a place for him. That's been the

40:42problem so far.

40:42>> Been a dramatic shift. That was the

40:43anti- Rashi Rice case was maybe they're

40:46gonna run the football a thousand times

40:47a game. So, um, just something to keep

40:49in mind,

40:50>> guys. I did the thing that Mike did. I

40:51actually picked a wide receiver that's

40:52outside of the top 20 on this list. You

40:54didn't see the name Acha Ibuka on there.

40:56I did not.

40:57>> He is not a top 20 wide receiver right

40:59now. Hasn't busted in either of the

41:00first two weeks, but he also hasn't

41:02lived up to the expectation of the wide

41:04receiver one without Mike Evans.

41:0611.3 fantasy points against Cincy in

41:08week one, 10.3 in week two. You know who

41:10leads this team in targets?

41:11>> Khurst Bucky.

41:13>> Actually, it's a four. It's four guys

41:15have 10 or 11. Bucky Irving.

41:17>> Amecha Ibuka does lead this team in

41:19target with 11.

41:21>> As well as Bucky Irving with 11

41:23>> and then what? Ted Hurst and Kate Dotton

41:24have 10.

41:25>> As well as Kateton with 11. Isn't that a

41:28problem that known volume king Kottton

41:31has as many targets as wide receiver one

41:33Amecha Ibuka through the first two weeks

41:35of the season?

41:35>> I mean the Bucks got to be on the short

41:36list for most disappointed teams in the

41:38league.

41:38>> They are Chargers are obviously at the

41:40number

41:41>> they talked a big game too. They were

41:42they were talking a little

41:44on Baker's shoulders right that was

41:46going to be a thing and we thought he

41:47was going to take a step and now this

41:48week unfortunately gets the Brian Flores

41:50Vikings. We are moving all of the Bucks

41:52down because of that. I just wanted to

41:53mention it because normally we we we're

41:55hoping to see something. I think this is

41:56another week that it's probably going to

41:57be another struggle for Ibuka.

41:59>> I think he'll be fun.

42:00>> Let's do some tight ends really quickly

42:02here, my friends.

42:03>> Tight ends for the top 10. Trey McBride

42:05at one, Brock Bowers, it's Daltton

42:06Concade, Travis Kelce, and George KD.

42:09That's the top five. Six through 10.

42:11We've got

42:14dramatic pause. Sam Leaporta, Tyler

42:16Warren, Isaiah Likely, Coulson Lovelin,

42:18and Tucker Craft. Guys, it is a tough

TE rankings

42:21season to be a Travis Kelce is washed

42:24guy.

42:24>> He is not washed. Yeah. 10.1 fantasy

42:26points in week one. It mostly came on

42:27one big play, but then 21 point 25.1

42:29here in week two gets the Dolphins. Even

42:32though we're a little more out on Rashi

42:33Rice, we are more in on Travis Kelce

42:35this week. He's an easy auto start for

42:37us at tight end.

42:37>> Set it and forget it. Uh let's just own

42:39it. We should have talked about him

42:41plenty more in the like we didn't make

42:43anti-cases for Travis Kelce. We just

42:45kind of said like,

42:46>> "Yeah, whatever fine."

42:47>> We focused on Rashi Rice and Ken Walker

42:49the third and the

42:50>> He's been more than fine. He's been

42:51awesome. The clock has turned back.

42:54>> Yeah. No doubt about it. Uh mine is

42:55Tucker Craft. A big boost last week in

42:57snaps and routes. Went actually played

42:59100% of the Packer snaps, but fell from

43:01six targets to three targets, 65 yards

43:04to 15 yards, nine and a half fantasy

43:05points to three and a half fantasy

43:06points. It was a big dud from him. But

43:08Jaden Reed is now out. They're going to

43:09have to run this offense through Watson,

43:11Golden, and Jaden Reed, especially with

43:13no running game. And Atlanta's already

43:15three touchdowns to tight end. So Tucker

43:17Craft, despite the duds, still hanging

43:19in that tight end one conversation.

43:20>> Yeah, big game tomorrow night for them

43:22playing at home against Atlanta.

43:23Thursday Night Football. They got to

43:25look, not just win, they got to look the

43:26part tomorrow for me to feel like Green

43:28Bay can really compete in this division

43:30with what I think will be Minnesota and

43:32Detroit and Chicago all there. Um the

43:34wider, excuse me, the tight end 17 in

43:37terms of routes per game is Isaiah

43:39likely, but when he's on the field and

43:40he's running routes, he's getting the

43:42football. Is he is top three in fantasy

43:43points, catches, yards, targets, and

43:46target share? I know the quarterback is

43:48new this week. It's Jameus Winston as

43:50opposed to Jackson Dart. But he had nine

43:53targets did Isaiah likely from Jameus

43:55Winston of his 27 passing attempts this

43:58past Monday nights with Malik Neighbors.

44:00Whether it's still getting up to speed

44:01with the knee injury or dealing with

44:03that shoulder injury on Monday night,

44:05he's not quite himself it seems. And

44:08there's really nobody else, right?

44:09Darnell Mooney, Malachi Fields, the

44:11running backs are not really prominently

44:13involved in the passing game. I think

44:15Isaiah likely is just here to stay as a

44:17top 10 tight end week in and week out.

44:19>> So, how many targets do you think he

44:20gets

44:20>> this week? I'll go with um eight.

44:23>> Wrong answer. Likely nine. THE RIGHT

44:25ANSWER.

44:25>> DAMN IT. IT WAS RIGHT THERE.

44:27>> It was right there for you.

44:28>> Right there.

44:28>> Gosh dang it.

44:29>> The tattoos impact your ability to

44:31process. I'm I'm disappointed in what it

44:34is. Let's dive in to the mailbag really

44:35quickly before we move on with the show.

44:37Want to pay off a couple of questions.

44:38Oh no. This is from Mama Do a

44:41>> She knows I have to wax a leg. She is

44:44bummed for me. Oh, Daniel. I am so

44:46sorry. It's all right, Mom. I'll be real

44:47smooth like a surfboard.

44:49>> What?

44:50>> Thank you,

44:51>> Jeff. Oh, the neck piece actually works

44:53for Field.

44:54>> Fine, I'll keep it.

44:54>> I like it. I For what it's worth, I do

44:57like it. Field, hey, I got a text from

44:59our uh producer Addison Walton this

45:01morning, guys. I want to ask you this

45:02quick question.

45:04>> Haven't heard from a local friend in

45:05news. Hits me with this question today.

45:07>> Longtime listener, first- time caller. A

45:10player in my league got frustrated and

45:12dropped Colston Loveland last night.

45:15>> Whoa.

45:16>> What percentage of your fab would you

45:17spend to pick him up in a 10 team PPR

45:20league? If you have anyone that

45:22overreacted, whether it was Loveland or

45:24anyone was like this happens sometimes,

45:25right?

45:25>> Yeah. Oh, definitely.

45:26>> Yeah. This is uh I think what's tricky

45:28about this one is much like so Puka Nu

45:32was knocked out of a lot of knockout

45:33leagues, right? Um but I was like, do I

45:35bid a little less because people might

45:36be like, he might not play this week and

45:38he was out last week. So, I might not

45:40have to spend as much. It's kind of like

45:41that with Lovelin, too. Like, you might

45:43not have to be super aggressive because

45:44so many people are scared away. On the

45:46other hand, it just takes one person.

45:48>> 30% was my was my

45:49>> Yeah, that that's where my head's going,

45:51too. I think that's a good number.

45:52>> And I I also want to I always want to

45:54have some some money in the kitty.

45:56>> When you say 30%, are you a If you have

45:58a $100 budget and you say 30%, would you

46:00just put 30 or would you put you're not

46:02a put 31 to not be on the even thing? I

46:05mean, that is like a serious strategy.

46:06>> No, it's true. Because people do tend to

46:08think in round numbers. Sure. If you

46:10want to put 31 bucks, that's fine.

46:11>> So then should we do 32?

46:12>> No. Okay. All right. All right. You know

46:15what? You're kicked out.

46:16>> Any more questions? We have questions

46:17from chat.

46:19>> All right. Let's keep on moving then.

46:20We're going to try to get to more later

46:21on in the show. We're going to do a

46:22stock check on the top 10 in ADP. Stock

46:25up and stock down. Stock down. We kind

46:26of did this a little bit yesterday with

46:27Liz feel the top.

46:29>> Sometimes we we just breeze past the

46:31absolute superstars and don't talk about

46:33them at all. They don't really need to

46:34be talked about, but I thought it'd be

46:36interesting to look at the top 10

Stockwatch

46:38players y

46:39>> based off their preseason or their final

46:41preseason ADP. And if you were to give

46:43them a quick, doesn't have to be this,

46:45you know, deep dive, stock up, stock

46:47down, or stock neutral, how would you

46:50assess them? So, one through five, Jamir

46:51Gibbs, Bejian Robinson, um, Jamar Chase,

46:54Pukonua, Jonathan Taylor, Jackson Smith

46:56and Jigba, Christian McAffrey, Aman Ross

46:58St. Brown, James Cook, and also CD Lamb.

47:01So, this is not exactly reddrafting the

47:03top 10, but just give you a sense of it.

47:04We can start with Tamir Gibbs, and I

47:06think you can even at pick one,

47:08>> you can still I think stock up would be

47:10in play. I think so. Yeah. Yeah. He was

47:12my f I I had him as the first overall

47:15pick. He was first on my overall board.

47:16Uh but if I was drafting today, I would

47:18take him zeroith.

47:19>> Yeah, I would. He's

47:20>> Yeah. No, I think stock up for for Jamir

47:22Gibbs only because the question was him

47:24versus uh Bejian Robinson. Yeah. And

47:26he's had two great weeks. Bejon had a

47:28dud week last week

47:29>> and the volume is real. like Dan

47:30Campbell was not shy about giving him

47:32the ball um as much as he has.

47:34>> I don't know if they'll make he'll make

47:35it 18 weeks like that, but for now, yes,

47:37stock up.

47:37>> Him and Kenneth Walker are the two

47:39running backs that we'll see if they can

47:40sustain what they are doing so far

47:42workloadise.

47:43>> How do you feel about Bejan though,

47:44knowing that the first two weeks have

47:45been difficult with the quarterback?

47:46>> Stock neutral cuz he was amazing in week

47:49one and he gets Michael Penn Jr. back

47:51starting this Thursday night. So, I'm

47:52stock neutral on I think if we did this

47:54again, he would still go too.

47:55>> Agreed. I'm with you on that. I don't

47:57think I would change that. Jamar Chase

47:58hasn't looked too bad. I mean, he did in

48:00week one. Last week, though, it looked

48:02like classic Jamar Chase. Would that

48:03change for you?

48:04>> Yeah, I think this is interesting. I

48:05think at worst I I I think stock neutral

48:08is appropriate here for Jamar Chase. You

48:10could make the case that he could be

48:11stocked down because there is a wide

48:13receiver that if we read it today

48:15>> might go higher than Jamar Chase, but I

48:17think stock neutral is where I land

48:19because it's a long season. The target

48:20share is still going to be incredible.

48:22He's an amazing talent and he was

48:23awesome in what might be the worst

48:25matchup we'll have all season this past

48:27weekend.

48:27>> Agreed. Is Puka Nakua just an obvious

48:30stock down because of how well the other

48:31wide receivers have done in the

48:32beginning of the first round?

48:34>> Yeah, I think he's I would say down

48:35slightly. That's what I would go. It's

48:37borderline neutral because if he comes

48:38back healthy this week, he'll be fine.

48:40He was fine in week one even though it

48:42was a very tough situation for that

48:43offense. I still think he'll pay off his

48:45ADP. So, it's tough to say down, but

48:48it's down slightly,

48:48>> right? It's the the it's slightly down

48:50because even if he does return this

48:52week, the thought process coming into

48:53the year was like, yeah, Puka can afford

48:55to miss a game or two and just be better

48:57than every other wide receiver in the

48:59game.

49:01>> Just we'll talk about JSN in a minute,

49:03but just because of what JSN is doing,

49:04like that might have changed the

49:05calculus a little bit.

49:06>> And by the way, had he played the other

49:07night, he would have had a decent chunk

49:09of those Devonte Adams points as well.

49:11So it was good to see that offense play

49:13at a high level. And if that continues,

49:15Puka will be fine. All right, the first

49:17not tier one running back in Jonathan

49:19Taylor. Guys,

49:20>> what do you think?

49:21>> I feel like he's he's kind of stock

49:23neutral to be honest in this offense

49:25because I don't love the passing game.

49:26Daniel Jones doesn't do it for me. We

49:28haven't seen a lot. I mean, I feel like

49:30Tyler Warren has not delivered the way

49:32that we had hoped

49:34>> by two touchdowns.

49:34>> To me, it's like the one thing that does

49:36keep working in this offense and isn't

49:38going to change is JT. So, I haven't

49:40seen enough to move him like stock down

49:42because they're going to keep giving him

49:43the ball, but it's not a stock up

49:45situation. Neutral for me.

49:46>> Neutral is probably where it lands. Um,

49:48Jackson Smith and Jigba

49:50>> bro up one. He if you told me not 1.01

49:54because I would still take Gibbs but

49:56like if you told me you wanted to take

49:57him 1.01 right now with the safety of

50:00who he is and his offense and his his

50:03upside.

50:03>> Yeah. Crazy. I mean in in a low volume

50:06passing offense.

50:06>> Yes.

50:07>> With a backup quarterback for all but I

50:09think one passing attempt so far this

50:10season.

50:11>> It's been unbelievable. 44% target.

50:13Cheryl do that for you. Everything is

50:15funneled through him in the How many

50:16other offenses do we have that like

50:18basically everything for our game is

50:20funneled through kind of that one guy

50:21Jadarian Price the running backs like

50:23there's not like a clear-cut guy there

50:24is no tight end one really there is no

50:26other wide receiver this is exactly what

50:28you want in fantasy

50:29>> yeah and no one could cover him

50:31>> doesn't doesn't like uh doesn't send us

50:32off to the right like I think there's a

50:35relatively decent chance he finishes as

50:37best wide receiver three I'm not ruling

50:38out wide receiver one or two but uh for

50:41those that maybe coming into the season

50:42we're like you know I'd like to see it

50:44again before I really throw him into the

50:46category of Jamar Chasea.

50:49>> I think we can put that argument to bed

50:51for now.

50:52>> What about CMC guys?

50:53>> I'd say stock neutral here.

50:54>> Yeah, I would agree neutral. We might

50:56have been leaning down after week one,

50:58but after week two, he's right back

50:59doing CMC things because I think where

51:01it gets interesting for CMC and where he

51:04could surge back up is they've had two

51:07non-competitive games.

51:08>> Yes. And they're going to eventually

51:10play more competitive games. I know they

51:12played the Rams in week one, a

51:13non-competitive version of the Rams and

51:15I just don't think that Kyle Shanahan

51:17can help himself

51:18>> and in those moments I think it'll be

51:20holy cow, Christian McAffrey had 18

51:22carries and 11 targets.

51:23>> Yeah, at the end of the day he's still

51:24their franchise player like he's going

51:26to be they're going to run the offense

51:27through him like they always do.

51:28>> Do you feel differently? Because I know

51:29you obviously the anti-CMC guy. You're

51:31stock neutral.

51:32>> I would be stock neutral if I had

51:34drafted CMC because the reason why I

51:36didn't is because I don't think he will

51:37last the entirety of the season. But if

51:39I'm looking at fantasy as a one-week

51:41game, I think that CMC has been neutral

51:43at the running back spot. Yes.

51:44>> Uh I'm on Ross St. Brown.

51:46>> Duck up. What a legend.

51:48>> He's just he is as steady as it gets

51:51>> a great floor.

51:52>> I don't know.

51:53>> We just The reality is like when we're

51:55talking about tier one wide receivers

51:56going into next year, it's going to

51:58include at least four of them, which

52:00would be Jamar, Puka, Jackson Smith, and

52:02Jigba. in phenomenal. Yeah, I say

52:05neutral just because I think he's about

52:06where he was drafted is where he belongs

52:08right now on the board, but he's

52:09fantastic to your point. Uh yeah, wide

52:12receiver. I think I texted you guys

52:13about this when we were ranking the

52:14other day. Yeah, it starts out great,

52:16but it's

52:19it gets wide receiver. We have to talk

52:21about this at some point. It's pretty

52:23gross right now after the

52:24>> It's not as deep as it felt like.

52:25>> No, I love Amanra and JSN because they

52:27kind of give me the same vibe as guys.

52:29Like they're not like, you know, field

52:31stretchers in the same way. They not

52:32that they can't but like you know a

52:34Jamar Chase or a Pukun Nukua

52:37down last week but he's

52:39>> I would say that what the thing that I

52:40think about the two of them that is

52:42really cool is that like they are about

52:43as low maintenance as it gets for wide

52:45receivers.

52:45>> They are just like painstakingly kind

52:47people.

52:48>> Yep.

52:48>> There's something about guys with

52:49hyphens in their names. Right. Jackson

52:51Smith and Jigba. Amra St. Brown. Nick

52:53Westbrook A.

52:54>> That's right. Yes. Guys like guys like

52:55that, you know. Lester.

52:56>> That's a good one. You're right. Yes. I

52:59was trying to think of an Alan Lazard

53:01name and I couldn't come up with a good

53:02middle name for

53:03>> Alan Lazard the goat.

53:04>> Yes, that's fair. Uh, how about the last

53:06one? Last two here. James Cook

53:08>> neutral.

53:09>> Yeah, James Cook. Week one was against

53:11Houston. It was a tough match up, right?

53:12And honestly, you know, Josh Allen told

53:15the show in week one.

53:16>> I think he would go in the first round

53:17right now because all these other names,

53:18including guys that would jump into the

53:20top 10, but not enough to say down.

53:22>> The James Cook pop off's coming really

53:24soon. We're due for a 22 carry, 152

53:27yard, two touchdown game very soon. If

53:28he's not a firstrounder, he's a high-end

53:30second rounder.

53:32>> They just might have some replace.

53:34>> And then CD Lamb. How you guys feel

53:35about CD Lamb?

53:35>> Stuck up because through two games, it's

53:37the CD Lamb show and the George Pickins

53:39show is currently off broadcast, right?

53:42Like

53:42>> it's not great.

53:43>> Well, and he's still an amazing talent

53:44and he'll be fine, but uh George Pickins

53:47has been 10 or fewer points in first two

53:49games.

53:50>> Will he Can I just throw this out there?

53:52Just like this is the the little devil

53:53sitting on my shoulder. Like I know

53:55he'll be fine, but also he's playing on

53:57a tag that he doesn't want to play on.

53:59He doesn't have a contract for next

54:00year.

54:00>> Well, this Yeah, the scare is if he like

54:02gets a hamstring that gets tight. And

54:05>> when you say hamstring, do you mean

54:06hamstring that gets tight or or a

54:08hamstring?

54:08>> I guess both gets tight.

54:09>> Yeah, like both could be like Yeah. His

54:12targets have been there, though. I'm not

54:13worried about Pickkins.

54:14>> Okay.

54:14>> I think I'll be okay.

54:15>> Disappointed, but not worried would be a

54:17better way.

54:17>> Yeah. Disappoint. Yeah, exactly.

54:18Disappointed, but his big game's coming,

54:20too. Yeah.

54:21>> Practicing that for later in life, huh?

54:22I'm disappointed, girls. All right. I'm

54:24not worried.

54:25>> Those, don't you worry. They're four to

54:27two.

54:28>> No, no, no, no, no. To me.

54:29>> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay.

54:30>> Not mad. I'm not mad. I'm disappointed.

54:32Yeah. Uh, quick question. Who's in your

54:34top 10 now that wasn't before? I think

54:35there's one name that's obvious.

54:36>> Hey, Walker.

54:37>> Yeah, that's it. Yeah. I put him in the

54:39middle of the first round, but

54:40otherwise, I think that's uh that's

54:41about it for now.

54:42>> He's the only one when I was looking at

54:43this. The only one that would move into

54:45the first round for me right now

54:47>> definitively. Yes.

54:48>> With you on that. Anybody else just as a

54:50part of this really quickly and then

54:50we'll do our last thing. Anyone else

54:51that you just have like think as a huge

54:53riser or faller that you want to talk

54:55about? I know we only did the top 10.

54:56Anyone else that stands out?

54:57>> Uh big risers or fallers that would

54:59creep into the top 10? No,

55:01>> I think a lav is the one that's probably

55:03closest to getting other than KW. I had

55:05a So I I redid like my top nine just to

55:08do for this exercise. I had nine and

55:10then the 10th I was stuck. It was Cook,

55:12Genty, Henry, Han, Lamb, Jefferson,

55:14Alve. Like that's a lot of guys to to

55:17pick at that one two turn. also the two

55:18island positions and I'm not sure we

55:20would do it differently but like we're

55:21saying wait on quarterback maybe you

55:23should have just drafted Josh Allen

55:25maybe he's really good

55:26>> we'll see a long season ahead there

55:27because you can like you know we we have

55:29seen some really you know Patrick

55:30Mahomes would be the argument against

55:31right guy was the 14th ranked

55:33quarterback in ADP and he's quarterback

55:35what

55:36>> same with Trey McBride you like Trey

55:37McBride has clearly been the best out of

55:39all of the ones but if you wanted to say

55:40hey you could have gotten Dinc Kade or

55:42Isaiah likely or something else

55:43>> strategy was way so far so far but you

55:46know Brock Bower is probably back in

55:47week We'll see what that looks like.

55:48>> All right, we got two questions from our

55:50mailbag here really quickly. This one

55:51comes from Christopher Ruez. Are we

55:53trusting Drake London this week? Guys,

55:55trust is a strong word, but I am

55:57starting Drake London this week.

55:58>> Yeah, I agree. And by the way, we'll

55:59talk about this game in greater depth

56:01tomorrow night football game. But the

56:02numbers with Michael Pennock Jr. have

56:04been excellent for Drake London. This is

56:06not a like Tua. There's still a little

56:08bit of a wait and see. It's definitely

56:10better than Cooper Rush. Like Michael

56:11Penn Jr. plus Drake London equals a lot

56:13of fantasy points.

56:14>> Agreed. Another question here from our

Mailbag

56:15chat. This one comes from Andy Cohen. Is

56:18it time to trade Hampton in case the

56:20Chargers continue to stink?

56:51uh and we're going to be like,

56:53>> "Here we go. Time to course correct.

56:54We're back."

56:55>> I love the chat's hanging out with us

56:57all day. By the way, I appreciate all of

56:59the love for Over the Top. I should have

57:00brought that as my sports movie last

57:01time when we did our random ranking. You

57:03guys need to watch it. If you haven't

57:04seen that Sylvester Stallone movie, go

57:05check it out.

57:06>> Speaking of random rankings.

57:07>> Yeah. Let's talk about some best late

57:09night eats as our random rankings. in

57:12chat. Please let us know where your

57:13favorite place is to eat late at night.

57:15Let's do it.

57:15>> Maybe you've had a couple of uh adult

57:17beverages. Maybe you're just up late

57:18with your friends hanging out. You want

57:20to go get some food.

57:21>> Yeah. Whoever came up with this is

57:23younger than us because uh I don't do

57:25this like I used to. This is hard. This

57:27is hard.

57:27>> It's different.

57:28>> In college, we definitely did. Oh,

57:30definitely. Yeah.

57:30>> In college.

57:30>> Okay. So, then let me ask you this

57:32question. When you're doing this, was

57:33this a list of nostalgia or a list of

57:35like right now with your 40-year-old

57:36body?

57:37>> More nostalgia.

57:38>> More nostalgia. You did current. I did

57:39current. So, we did it a little

57:40differently.

57:41>> Okay. Good. All right. Well, then

57:42>> I love it. Love it. All right.

57:43>> You want to start off then?

57:44>> Yeah. Are we doing three, two, or each?

57:46>> All three and then all.

57:47>> Okay. So, my three is pretty generic. If

57:49I happen to be out late and I'm

57:50whatever, just out having a night, it'd

57:52be like wings and fries at a bar, you

57:54know, like at the bar. That's at the

57:56bar. Wings and fries. Like that's the

57:57bar. Good there.

57:58>> Rare, but that's that's a good that's

58:00what I like to go to. Mine is late night

58:02sitting at home. I don't want to do a

58:04lot. Yeah.

58:05>> I want to be able to just have something

58:06that's easy. So, you know what I do?

58:08Pop open the freezer, put the oven on,

58:11preheat, and I throw in a Red Baron

58:13pizza.

58:14>> Smart man right there. That's right.

58:16Well done.

58:16>> Catering to the crowd in the frozen

58:18pizza always hits late at night. And

58:20it's super simple. You don't have to do

58:21anything. You just put it in, hit the

58:22button.

58:22>> Frozen pizza always hits.

58:23>> I literally made a joke the other day

58:25via text about I'm trying to score free

58:26Red Baron pizzas from Field. And now you

58:29can do about that. That's it.

58:30>> See what I can do about that. Um,

58:32>> number three for me.

58:34>> Late Night Diner.

58:35>> Yep. I went with Denny's just because

58:37it's the one that's available to most

58:39people, but you got to jump on

58:40breakfast. You got to get a breakfast

58:42sandwich. And of course, as you know,

58:44everybody knows this. It's like this is

58:45science.

Random Rankings

58:46>> The grease in the breakfast sandwich

58:48helps cure the hangover before it

58:50starts. Everybody knows that. So, I'm

58:52thinking I'm talking a gigantic bacon,

58:53egg, and cheese, preferably a little

58:55extra greasy.

58:56>> Yeah.

58:57>> And hammer that thing with a hash brown.

59:00>> And you're basically cured.

59:02>> I love it. Good call.

59:03>> I'm in on that. Yeah. What other like

59:05because it's basically any breakfast,

59:07late night breakfast joint. I know you

59:08picked one. Yes, Denny's.

59:10>> I went to college locally. I went to

59:12college at Wesian and it's about 20

59:13minutes from here. Um we had a place

59:15called Oruror's Diner. Great spot, but

59:17there was a 247 diner as well that's no

59:20longer in operation, but we used to go

59:21there a lot. Yeah, I love those local

59:23247 diners that are I mean, it's

59:26basically, you know, like the Waffle

59:27House kind of thing, but a lot of the

59:28local places are really cool that are

59:29open uh open

59:30>> secretly. All right, Mike, give us your

59:32number two. By the way, if I was going

59:33to do nostalgia, there was a place Spuds

59:34in Kutztown, that uh they actually

59:36flooded and shut down, so they only have

59:38a food truck now. But I miss that place

59:39so much. So, if they're out there,

59:41someone's listening. Shout out to Buds.

59:42I need some Spuds so bad.

59:44>> Spuds. Spuds Burger and they're they

59:46have the best French fries in on the

59:47planet. I'm telling you. I'm telling

59:48you. Anyway, if if I was going the

59:50nostalgia route, but the current route

59:51is so you know, Megan and I like to

59:53frequent New York City. So, we do we do

59:56sometimes we and we because I'm an old

59:57man, we eat dinner on the early side,

59:59but we like when we're in the city and

1:00:01we're up late, we like to go to second

1:00:02dinner sometimes. And our favorite spot

1:00:04again to sit at the bar and get late

1:00:05night dinner at second dinner is Tao.

1:00:08>> Yes,

1:00:10my favorite go get some get some noodles

1:00:13or something, some sushi. So, uh that's

1:00:14that's one that's close to my heart

1:00:16right now.

1:00:16>> Noodles and sushi. Daniel has brought

1:00:18out a book.

1:00:18>> I wrote down a bunch of them.

1:00:20>> Oh, okay. Yeah,

1:00:22I got a All right. Number two.

1:00:23>> What's number two for you? Uh, number

1:00:24two for me is similar to field. This is

1:00:28sort of an open-ended interpretation of

1:00:29how you want to look at it, but for me,

1:00:31late night. A lot of times I'm coming

1:00:33back from a show. Just went to a place,

1:00:34I'm watch I watched a band, I'm hungry,

1:00:36going to stop somewhere.

1:00:37>> It's that late night waw wa or Sheets or

1:00:40that gas station that sells food that

1:00:42they will make for you right in front of

1:00:43you. Those are my favorite and they hit

1:00:46the spot late at night, especially when

1:00:48you're coming back from like a a late

1:00:50like a sporting event, too.

1:00:52>> Yeah.

1:00:52>> It's perfect. H I don't know if you guys

1:00:54have ever been to Wawa or Sheets.

1:00:55>> I've been to WA 10,000 times. Yes, of

1:00:58course.

1:00:58>> Sheets for sure.

1:00:59>> Yeah, we had a lot of Sheets where I

1:01:00grew up and then Wawa became more

1:01:01popular the closest you went east

1:01:03towards

1:01:03>> Sheets is more of a PA thing. Yeah.

1:01:05Yeah. Very similar to Wawa.

1:01:06>> Um this is a very I went one one like

1:01:09super nichy call. Um is down at Ruters.

1:01:12I went and visited a friend there once

1:01:13and we went to a day football game and

1:01:15then after the game we stopped at they

1:01:17called them I think the carts or the

1:01:18trucks. They called them I think I think

1:01:19they were called the fat carts.

1:01:21>> Yeah. And you would go and you would get

1:01:23these sandwiches and they'd be fat

1:01:25whatever the fat football, the fat cup,

1:01:28the fat ruler s whatever it is, right?

1:01:31Um and it would just be everything you

1:01:33could think of like rather than getting

1:01:34like mozzarella sticks and chicken

1:01:36fingers and French fries and have them

1:01:37each served in like an a tray or a dish.

1:01:41>> They just put it

1:01:41>> they would just put them all the grease

1:01:42trucks is what I'm being told they are

1:01:44called. It's amazing. Again, I I think I

1:01:47like 99 cent heart attack. Our producer

1:01:49Zach, I think he has Jersey route roots,

1:01:52so he knows what I'm talking about here.

1:01:53These grease trucks

1:01:54>> were amazing. So again, you that might

1:01:57be like a very specific demographic. Any

1:01:59idea what I'm talking about,

1:02:00>> but I felt amazing coming out of it.

1:02:03>> I would say, and I'm not, it might not

1:02:06be the same thing, but grease trucks,

1:02:08like any food truck late at night, like

1:02:10if you can find a spot that's open late

1:02:11at night for food trucks to give you

1:02:12some options, like food truck food, it's

1:02:14so God, it's so good. So great.

1:02:16>> All right, Mike. Yeah, maybe maybe in my

1:02:18prime. But again, I have to go back. I

1:02:20have to go back to this. I look I wanted

1:02:22to answer this honestly and lethal

1:02:24weapon on the dressing tool for this.

1:02:27>> Well, here's the thing. No croutons.

1:02:28>> Uh, you know, I it's not like the old

1:02:30days. And I wanted to answer this

1:02:31honestly. So, but I here's the thing.

1:02:33They they they're like, is it okay to

1:02:35snack at night or not? Are you are you

1:02:37supposed to snack before bed? But I am a

1:02:38snacker.

1:02:38>> Are you going to say bowl of cereal?

1:02:40>> So, it's not bowl of cereal. It's just

1:02:41in general like I do snack at night. So,

1:02:43it's my sofa. My sofa is my top late

1:02:46night eat spot. Wow. Get a snack. I'll

1:02:49make a peanut butter sandwich. A peanut

1:02:51butter sandwich.

1:02:52>> I'll I'll have some chips. You know,

1:02:54something like that. Uh not It's never

1:02:55healthy. I'm bad about it. But that I

1:02:58last I had some peanuts, you know, watch

1:03:00the show.

1:03:01>> I am furious or I respect you so much. I

1:03:04don't know. Look, I Here's the thing.

1:03:06The people who are listening who are

1:03:0840ish year old males have to have to

1:03:10relate to this, right? We don't go out

1:03:12at two in the morning anymore, right? We

1:03:14This is what we do. We sit at home. We

1:03:15snack. That's That's the honest answer.

1:03:17We'll go to the restroom. There's not a

1:03:19line.

1:03:19>> Say what you ever want. But yeah,

1:03:20exactly. That's the honest real answer.

1:03:22>> All right. What do you got?

1:03:23>> My honest real answer is there. There is

1:03:26only one. You're walking around New York

1:03:28City. It's 1:30 in the morning and you

1:03:30see a spot that says

1:03:31>> 99 cent slice.

1:03:32>> 99 cent slice of pizza. You walk in and

1:03:35it crushes every single freaking time.

1:03:38>> I like the slices of pizza that are also

1:03:40like three. Like they're like the size

1:03:42of three and you buy them as one single

1:03:44slice.

1:03:44>> They never miss.

1:03:45>> All right, that's a good answer right

1:03:46there. I thought that there was one

1:03:47clear, undisputed answer and I'm hoping

1:03:49that chat agrees.

1:03:51>> Taco Bell.

1:03:52>> Yeah,

1:03:53>> come on. You're right. That's an easy

1:03:55one. The old

1:03:57>> nostalgia one. That's the nostalgia one,

1:03:59>> dude. Come on.

1:04:00>> I can't eat that anymore. I can't do it.

1:04:01>> No, but again, the grease saves you from

1:04:04the hangover. That's science. And

1:04:06>> I super greasy.

1:04:07>> Do you eat it even though you can't?

1:04:09>> No, not anymore.
