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?
56:22>> Is this the Andy Cohen?
56:23>> I don't think that you would.
56:24>> What are you getting?

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

57:04seen that Sylvester Stallone movie, go
57:05check it out.

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.
1:04:10>> Okay. I tried once in the last 20 years
