0:00Fantasy.

0:01>> You're in the 0610

0:04focus.

0:06Fantasy.

0:09Fantasy focus.

0:14>> Welcome in to Fantasy Focus Football

0:16alongside Mike Clay and FieldG. It's

0:18good for both of you guys being ready

0:19and prepared.

0:20>> Yeah.

0:20>> For that intro.

0:21>> Yeah.

0:22>> I was wait I was waiting to see for you

0:23reach down and and your ears. No,

0:25>> I'm good this time.

0:26>> Fantasy focus football.

0:27>> I tried to do a little bit of the voice.

0:29Oh, you did? Yeah. Good. Yeah. Yeah, I

0:30was ready today. I uh, you know, checked

0:32my phone on right before the music

0:34ended. I had my mic ready. I took an

0:36allergy pill before the show today, so

0:38hopefully I could hold up.

0:39>> Is that what the problem was? Was

0:40allergies yesterday?

0:41>> Yeah, I think Yeah, certain times of the

0:42year. Don't you guys get that, too?

0:44Pollen and get a little congestion.

0:45>> It's usually springtime for us New

0:47England.

0:47>> I don't know. I get it. I get it. Hit or

0:49miss. It's

0:50>> I think this is the thing.

0:50>> I know what it is.

0:51>> Clay eye is just susceptible to viruses

0:53is probably what the thing is.

0:55>> It could be. I was trying to weave in a

0:57joke like Mike is allergic to B

0:59Robinson's and after last night we'll

1:02talk about that game and I have to I

1:03would like to formally issue an apology

1:06and preemptively announcing said apology

1:08because it comes once we get into our

1:10Monday Night Football recap.

1:12>> Yeah, very excited about that. We got

1:13Monday Night Football recap. We're going

1:14to dive into the waiver wire here and a

1:16bunch of other fun segments like we

1:17always pay off starts of the week and

1:18whatnot. But with that, let's get in. By

1:21the way, just do you want to talk about

1:23the news of Joe Mixon getting signed by

1:24the CF? You mention it. Here's what I

1:26would say.

1:26>> You think it matters and we mentioned

1:27it.

1:28>> No, here's where I think it matters.

1:30>> It's not that I think Joe Mixon has

1:32standalone value. It's that I felt like

1:34there was a chance, I don't know about a

1:36strong chance, but a chance that Zack

1:38Charbanet could return

1:39>> and take hold of this backfield enough

1:41that he might matter in 10 team leagues.

1:43If there's a world in which you have

1:44Zack Charbanet and Emanuel Wilson and

1:47George Helani probably playing on

1:49passing down backs

1:51>> and Joe Mixon because they didn't bring

1:52him to the Joe Mixon's not going to go

1:54to Seattle's practice squad to sit there

1:56for the year and just

1:58>> you know play scout team, right? He went

1:59somewhere with the idea that he could

2:01probably play soon and Jadarian Price is

2:04not a season ending injury. You have

2:07you're going to have at least four backs

2:09that matter on the active roster in

2:11given weeks. It may be that last

2:13yesterday was further confirmation that

2:16by far the most likely outcome for the

2:18Seattle backfield is it's a stayaway

2:20like enjoy the Emanuel Wilson ride that

2:23you had this past week and probably

2:24we'll have again this week because Zack

2:26Sharet is not going to play because

2:28sooner rather than later it's just going

2:29to be too many cooks in the kitchen.

2:31Yeah, we'll talk more about this

2:32backfield I think here in waiverss. But

2:34uh I think at some point this year

2:37assuming their top guys get back to

2:39health it'll settle into two guys. I

2:41don't know if it's going to be Charbanet

2:43and Price or Charbanet and Mixon because

2:45look, maybe Mixon just gets cut loose.

2:47You know, he didn't play last year.

2:48Yeah, it's possible it doesn't work out.

2:49We see that all the time. So, situation

2:51to monitor, but this is definitely a

2:52weekby- week proposition.

2:54>> By the way, a state of how banged up

2:55they are. They also are signing Robert

2:57Henry Jr. from the Commander Practice

2:59Club, which I'm like, hey, you know,

3:01he's he's a talented runner at UTSA. Had

3:03some things in his background. Uh but he

3:07uh it like they have to keep him on the

3:08roster for for 3 weeks because of

3:11eligibility rules in the NFL. So

3:13>> for the next 3 weeks they're carrying

3:15him. They're carrying

3:17>> Emanuel Wilson and George Hani. Like

3:19maybe that's a sign that Zack Charbanet

3:21who's not going to play this week might

3:22still be like two or three weeks away.

3:24So very cloudy backfield in Seattle will

3:27address Emanuel Wilson's value in

3:29waivers. Hey, is there a cloudy

3:30backfield in Atlanta with the way that

3:32these two were used this last night?

3:34Guys, let's talk about the Falcons.

3:36>> Do you want me to do my apology right

3:37now or No.

3:38>> Um, you know what, Field? I do.

3:40>> Okay. All right. So, you guys can flash

3:42the final score graphic cuz it goes hand

3:43in hand.

3:45>> I thought about doing a recap of that

3:47time a couple weeks ago when I went on I

3:49wouldn't call it a rant, but I did have

3:51some thoughts on why on earth did the

3:53NFL schedule maker wake up really mad

3:56one morning and deliver us not one, not

3:58two, but three straight prime time games

4:01with the Atlanta Falcons. Thursday Night

4:03Football last week, correct? Monday

4:05Night Football this week and Sunday

4:06Night Football against the Ravens this

4:08upcoming week. By the way, I'm thinking

4:09to myself, really, the Falcons,

4:12>> I owe them apology uh to the entire

4:14Falcons organization, to the city of

4:16Atlanta, to Bejon Robinson specifically.

4:19My god, you guys aren't just a team that

4:22I enjoy watching. Like, you're one of

4:24the most enjoyable teams to watch in the

4:26NFL right now because you have an

4:27identity. That running game is

4:28absolutely off the charts. So, I

4:31apologize to Atlanta and to the Falcons

4:33for doubting your squad. I can't wait to

4:35watch them now on Sunday night against

4:37the Ravens. And that mostly means the

4:39running game because Bejian Robinson is

4:42preposterous. The 59 yard run at the

4:44beginning of the game last night.

4:46>> Is there there's no way that Bejian

4:49Robinson

4:50>> is that fast when he's also not

4:53efforting at all?

4:54>> No, he didn't look like he was trying.

4:55>> It looked like he was jogging and then

4:57next thing you know, he's 10 yards

4:58further down the field from any other

5:00player. How was this possible?

5:01>> Yes. It looked like when Mike is playing

5:03football with his daughters in the

5:04backyard and he's just so much faster

5:05than

5:06>> I'm not even that much faster. Yeah. No,

5:08no. They get me They get me on a

5:10shoestring tackle. I can't get away

5:11anymore.

5:12>> He's amazing. Uh he had only one catch

5:14last night for two yards and he still

5:15went for 27.7. We were having this

5:18conversation briefly before the show

5:20relitigating that number one overall

5:22pick. It doesn't really matter, right?

5:24We kept saying him and him and Shamir

5:26Gibbs is it don't don't waste your

5:28energy on that decision. waste your

5:29energy on your second, third, fourth,

5:32>> fifth, etc. picks. And Jir has outscored

5:35him in three or four games and he is the

5:37number one scoring player in fantasy.

5:39Excuse me. Second highest scoring player

5:40in fantasy. Number one is Jackson Smith

5:42and Jigba.

5:43>> But it's not like Bejon has been

5:45anything other than brilliant. What a

5:47joy it is to watch Bejon.

5:48>> Yeah, he has been fantastic. Exactly

5:50what you said. Nothing more to add

5:51there. Although guys, he didn't even

5:53lead his team in touchdowns. He didn't

5:54even He didn't even lead his team in

5:56rushing touchdowns. He wasn't even the

5:58highest scoring Robinson.

5:59>> No, better be Robinson's on. Yeah, the

6:02people who accidentally drafted Brian

6:04Robinson did okay last year.

6:05>> I told you so.

6:06>> Did all right. I mean, you you weren't

6:07starting it, but maybe in baseball or

6:09something, but yeah, 14 carries, 62

6:10yards, and three touchdowns for Brian

6:13Robinson. Um, that one stung as some you

6:15and I were going headtohead with a Drake

6:18London. And you we were what you were up

6:20three going into the night. You ended up

6:22beating me. Um, but the Falcons scored

6:2445 points and Drake London did not find

6:27the end zone. So, I ended up coming up a

6:29little bit bit uh short in this one.

6:31But, uh, yeah, what is it now? Five,

6:33six, seven, eight rushing, two passing

6:35touchdowns for Atlanta since Michael

6:37Penn has come back.

6:38>> Amazing. So, here's what I would say

6:39about the Falcons. Like, bean's amazing.

6:40Brian Robinson incredibly valuable

6:42insurance back obviously because he is a

6:44good player. Uh, Drake London five for

6:4694. This reminds me of what I said about

6:48JSN yesterday where I was like, man, it

6:51tells you how good JSN is that he goes

6:53for five for 76 and you're like, damn

6:55it. Uh, Drake London's awesome. Five for

6:5794 is a good number for him. It just

7:00felt a little bit disappointing after

7:02the 194 yards he had last week. But for

7:05the Falcons, it is

7:07>> Bejon and Drake London. That's it

7:08because another quiet night there for

7:10Kyle Pitts. To the point that Micah

7:12Parsons is tweeting free Kyle Pitts last

7:15night.

7:15>> Three targets. Yeah, he wasn't even

7:16playing early on in this game.

7:18>> They brought it up. It sounded like

7:19maybe decision.

7:20>> Yeah, I don't know what's going on. It's

7:22it's wild. He seems like you you're

7:24watching him on, you know, there's been

7:25a like a lot of commentary on Marvin

7:27Harrison Jr. and there's just not much

7:29energy there. Like I actually do see

7:30that from Kyle Pittz. He's like hyping

7:32up his teammates with scoring and like

7:33he's involved, but like I I I don't know

7:35what's going on uh behind the scenes. By

7:37the way, more one more note on Brian

7:39Robinson. You mentioned it's Bejon, it's

7:41London. Brian Robinson not a guy you're

7:44running to the waiver wise yet. He

7:45still, to your point, does not have

7:46standalone value. You know, he had a

7:47three touchdown game. That's not going

7:48to be sustainable moving forward. Or

7:51maybe I'm just trying to convince myself

7:52of that because you know what I did

7:53yesterday in one of my leagues? You

7:55dropped him. I dropped him for Kyrie

7:57Hill.

8:00>> No. My god.

8:02>> Uh but no, I'm I'm okay with it. I'm

8:03okay with it cuz look, I'm not I You're

8:05You don't want to be spending on Brian

8:07Robinson. Next week he's going to you

8:08know, he'll have seven carries for 25

8:10yards.

8:10>> Correct. Yeah. He's going to

8:11>> So, I can't wait for us to get a YouTube

8:13question that says, "Would you guys drop

8:14Brian Robinson this week for Tyreek

8:16Hill?"

8:16>> It's very He's very Jordan Masony is

8:18what I would only rostered in 27% of

8:21leagues, but like you said, obviously a

8:23very valuable insurance back if this is

8:24the way they're going to utilize their

8:25running backs in this one. How about the

8:26other side?

8:27>> Let's talk about this game because there

8:29are actually like a few more things to

8:30take away till Travis Han returns. Feel

8:33sure feels like it's going to be the

8:34Alvin Chimera shoot. Not that he was

8:36amazing last night as a runner, but uh

8:38he did have 23 rushing yards and a pair

8:40of rushing touchdowns. More importantly,

8:42for our purposes, seven targets last

8:44night for tons of volume for Tyler

8:46Shock. But with the way they play

8:47defense,

8:48>> I feel like that's going to be a fairly

8:50regular occurrence. Maybe not this week

8:51because they play the Vikings, but

8:53generally the Saints defense is going to

8:55keep them in a lot of shootouts. So,

8:57Chimera, the clear guy that is going to

8:59be the lead back in this back field

9:01because I got to tell you guys, I don't

9:04we don't understand the utilization for

9:06this Saints backfield. We haven't so far

9:08this season.

9:09>> Why is Kendrick Miller really playing

9:10for them even? I don't know. Hasn't been

9:12going well. Six carries, nine yards, 10

9:14yards, and three targets. I mean, it

9:16just has not been very good. But also,

9:18like

9:19>> at Chimera's age, you can't run him into

9:20the ground. I mean, he's going to be

9:21limited. He actually left his game

9:23toward the end. Like I

9:25>> I don't know if he's going to see what

9:26>> did he leave the game again?

9:27>> He missed a he missed a little time

9:28during the game. I don't I don't know

9:30where he came back. Yeah.

9:31>> Yeah. I I don't I'm sure he'll be fine

9:33going forward, but the point is like at

9:34his age, he's not going to be a 20 touch

9:36guy. So

9:36>> there's room for someone else and it's

9:38probably going to be Kendra Miller for

9:39the time being. He was terribly far

9:41behind him.

9:42>> Williams. Yeah.

9:43>> The truth is what it should be is when

9:45he's healthy, it should be the Travis

9:46Aan show.

9:47>> Of course,

9:47>> like it should be shouldn't have wavered

9:50on that from the jump. I don't know why

9:51they did. Uh, but it's the Chimera show.

9:53And then for the pass catchers like

9:55Chris Olive, what the guy's awesome

9:58>> like he just whatever every week is

9:59going to be wide receiver six and you're

10:01not going to blink. Do we think Devon

10:02Vele has enough value to be a flex

10:04weekly or is it like it was a lot of

10:07late production and garbage time last

10:09night? What do you guys think?

10:10>> To your point though, they're going to

10:11keep throwing the ball and it's going to

10:12go to three guys and he's one of them.

10:14So until Jordan Tyson's back, yeah, I

10:15think he's in the flex.

10:16>> I think now that we have bye-weeks

10:17coming up, you're going to start having

10:18a smaller player pool. So I would be

10:20with Mike on that. My question is in all

10:22four games so far. Tyson, by the way,

10:24did you guys see the update yesterday?

10:26>> I did. I was just going to bring that

10:27up.

10:27>> Fire away.

10:28>> Jordan Tyson, when we get uh it's going

10:30to be a little bit longer than we had

10:31initially planned or we had talked about

10:33at the start of this season. So,

10:35>> yeah, it's still weeks away.

10:36>> Yep. So, we're in a spot where if you

10:39were wondering, hey, should I maybe try

10:40to sell high on Devon Valet before

10:43Jordan Tyson comes back? We have weeks

10:45until we get to that point. I think you

10:46just keep riding it as a potential flex

10:48option for your squad.

10:49>> And that that was the thought. Remember

10:50when the Tyson news came out, the

10:52thought was, at least this is what I put

10:54on social and Saints fans didn't like

10:55it, but I believe it's a week eight buy

10:56for them.

10:57>> Yeah.

10:57>> So, week nine was probably the most

10:59logical target for them, which would put

11:01him right on track based on the latest

11:03report. By the way, we're going to get

11:04into this hopefully at some point this

11:05week, but

11:06>> the new look strength of schedule charts

11:08come out this week. I'm pumped to drop

11:10these. They're going to be really cool.

11:11>> That's awesome.

11:12>> Um, but so far, Saints,

11:14>> just a little preview here, fifth

11:15easiest for quarterbacks and receivers

11:17so far. 26th going forward for both

11:19spots. So should tighten up a little bit

11:21on them, which is something interesting

11:23to keep in mind. That could move Vallay

11:24down a little bit. Uh they lay down a

11:26little bit uh moving forward. But again,

11:28we'll get into that as the week goes.

11:29>> What a quagmire of a team they are. I

11:31did pick the Falcons last night. You

11:33guys may recall that. No big deal. Uh

11:35but this Saints team came in with big

11:37expectations and Tyler Shucks got a lot

11:39of numbers through four games, but it

11:41felt like again it feels a little bit

11:42like circumstantial stat production.

11:44They just kick themselves in the shin

11:46for the first half of these games, find

11:49themselves down big, and next thing you

11:50know, it's like, okay, Tyler Shuck's got

11:54286 passing yards, and it looks good

11:55when you go to the ESPN.com stats page,

11:58and you're like, wow, he's second in the

11:59NFL in passing yards through basically a

12:01quarter of the season. But don't feel

12:03like that offense is playing to

12:05expectation through the first four

12:06games. Um, who you guys taking to win

12:08the NFC South based off what we've seen

12:10through four?

12:11>> Oh man. Panthers Falcons both two and

12:14two. Saints one and three. Bucks 0 and4.

12:17I wanted it to be the Bucks, but

12:19>> I'm wring the Bucks off.

12:20>> Okay.

12:20>> I I guess the Panthers, right? No. I

12:23mean,

12:24>> Panthers Falcon. No, no, wait. Yeah. Oh,

12:26man. If If Penn keeps playing like this,

12:28it's going to be the Fal. You know

12:29what's wild is they spent two first

12:31round picks on edge rushers last year

12:33and neither of them are a part of this

12:34team right now and they're still holding

12:36down the fort defensively,

12:37>> doing a great job.

12:38>> The offense has maybe Penn has just made

12:39the leap. There's a lot to like here.

12:41Yeah. You know what? It probably lean

12:42Falcons at this point.

12:43>> One last question before we move on from

12:45this one. Do you think that Mike gets

12:47more excitement out of buying Christmas

12:48presents for his children or coming up

12:50with the strength of schedule full

12:51screens that we're going to see later on

12:53this week?

12:53>> Well, which one you want to answer that

12:56honestly?

12:56>> Yeah, I will.

12:58>> Uh the Christmas present thing, it's

13:00fun, but also it's it's stressful.

13:03I mean, there's a lot of planning that

13:04goes expensive. So,

13:07>> uh yeah, I don't know. Yeah, tough call.

13:09I'm still on this though. Yeah, Panther

13:12just like a machine.

13:13>> Can you give us one little preview of

13:14like one player you think benefits the

13:16most based off schedule? Okay.

13:18>> I'm not ready yet.

13:19>> Okay. I literally just put all this

13:21together this morning, so we'll save it.

13:23>> All right.

13:24>> I'm not ready yet.

13:24>> Not Tyler Shuck, apparently.

13:26>> All right, guys. We're going to dive

13:27into starts of the week next. You know,

13:29we got a little bit of uh information

13:31though about a start of the week

13:32punishment we have from last week. I'd

13:34like for you guys to watch this.

13:35>> We're out of time.

13:39Oh, this is you.

13:43>> 22 hours earlier.

13:46All right, guys. Well, thanks to the

13:49corporate overlords, we are no longer

13:50allowed to do the beer mile, which was

13:52going to be a lot of fun for some

13:54people. It wouldn't have been fun for

13:55me. I would have done it, but it

13:56wouldn't have been a ton of fun. Uh, but

13:57they said no. They put the kibash on it

13:59and said, "You are not allowed to do

14:01that anymore." And so, I have to spin

14:03the wheel and do something else. Luckily

14:04for me, I get to stay late for work and

14:06do this while Field and Mike have

14:07already gone home, so that's great for

14:08them. Uh, we're going to head into the

14:10studio right now, though. Oh, you got to

14:11push the button in order to make it

14:12work. Did you know that when the hair

14:13grows back on your leg, it also kind of

14:16hurts then, too? So, it's like a double

14:18punishment. I didn't know that. That's

14:20fun to find out.

14:21>> So, anyways, here we go. Another wheel

14:23spin.

14:26>> All right, guys.

14:27>> Okay.

14:29Smelling salt.

14:33Guys, I care about what I put into my

14:36body. Can't you tell?

14:39>> Oh, this is going to be terrible.

14:47>> I have smelling salts right here in

14:50front of us and I'm going to go through

14:52and u because Mike is going to someone

14:55else is going to have a spin the wheel.

14:56Either Mike or Field is going to have a

14:57thing. Well, you just I'm going to go

14:59through and

15:00>> can we ask a couple questions before we

15:01do

15:02>> all of the lineups? Yeah. Can I ask you

15:03a question? Have you ever done smelling

15:04salt as a football player? Okay. Do you

15:05have any tips you want to give me?

15:07>> Well, so we used to I used to do when I

15:08was working for the Patriots. I'm not

15:09going to lie to you guys like

15:11>> you dropped that.

15:12>> No big deal.

15:13>> Name dropper.

15:14>> No, no, no. But seriously, like when

15:15you're like an 18-year-old like hanging,

15:17you know, like you're around the players

15:18like and these guys are doing smelling

15:19salts like you think you're cool. You're

15:20like, I got this. And it's it's strips,

15:22right? You guys see Aaron Rogers still

15:24does them like right before the game.

15:25You see them all the time. They're

15:26little like they they're little

15:27cylinders, right? They look like really

15:29long skinny pillows. You crack them, hit

15:31the ammonia. It's it's it's ammonia

15:33that's inside of there. And it's it just

15:34it wakes you up real fast and it gets

15:37you focused. It gets you wired. It lasts

15:39like 30 seconds. But for those 30

15:40seconds, it's kind of cool.

15:41>> You're in it.

15:42>> Um Yeah. So, do you have strips or do

15:44you have What do you have?

15:45>> I think it's not strips. This is just

15:47like salt inside of here. And so, I'm

15:49going to open this up.

15:50>> Have a comparable effect.

15:51>> Yeah.

15:52>> It's not fun, but it's it's kind of

15:54>> Well, I don't think that was the point.

15:55I don't think it fun. Was the point of

15:57>> what is the point if it's only 30

15:59seconds?

16:00>> I mean, it's just like to get your brain

16:01focused and like then you let the

16:03adrenaline of the game kind of get it or

16:05also like there. Listen, you're getting

16:07smacked around. Like sometimes it just

16:09wakes you up, right?

16:10>> Okay. Okay. All right. That's fair. All

16:11right, guys. Well, I'm going to read

16:13starts of the week and tell you how

16:14everyone did. I'm going to do a hit of

16:16smelling salts before I read every

16:18single lineup. So, we're going to start

16:19with whose lineup first?

16:21>> I believe yours, Daniel.

16:22>> We're gonna start with mine. All right.

16:24my line up first.

16:28>> Whoa.

16:30>> Oh, that is all you had to do.

16:31>> Gross.

16:32>> Oh, I'm getting a little whiff of it

16:33over here, too.

16:33>> All right, I'll put the lid back on. My

16:35starts of the week. I'm not going to lie

16:36to you.

16:37>> Quarterback, you are a sicko. Tyler

16:38Shuck, 15.9 fantasy points. I got bailed

16:41out by a touchdown late in that game.

16:42>> This might be the best starts of the

16:44week lineup all year.

16:44>> Jeremiah Love, 6.5. Teroa McMillan,

16:4845.2.

16:49>> That's half of your points.

16:50>> And 22.4 Four points from Sam Laaporta

16:53on the other side of that game. Total of

16:5590.4 fantasy points. That was a good

16:57one.

16:57>> Well done.

16:58>> That was a good one.

16:58>> Well done.

16:59>> All right. Punished while showing that

17:02lineup. That seems fair.

17:03>> It's tough, right?

17:05>> Oh, that one was worse. That one was

17:07worse. I did more cuz like the first

17:10time I took it a little easy. That

17:11really field starts of the week.

17:14>> This one was trending in the right way,

17:15too.

17:15>> Marcus Mariota was like uh not great

17:18unfortunately. Got banged up and left

17:19the game early. 5.34 Aaron Jones 16.8

17:23Chris Olive 19.6 another nice outing and

17:26George KD rumbling bumbling and

17:28stumbling his way to the end zone 17

17:30fantasy points 58.74 for the entire

17:33week. Way to go field with that one.

17:35>> Don't do it again.

17:36>> The Marcus Mario I feel like that Marcus

17:37Mariota one I was worried when that

17:39happens. I'm like

17:40>> oh you're lost already before it even

17:42begun because those are like three other

17:44guys at 16 plus is not bad.

17:46>> Is that safe to keep doing that?

17:47>> I don't know. I'm trying to see if it

17:48says

17:48>> I think you're good on two if

17:50>> don't do uh brief inhalation. Do not

17:53exceed 10 times in 24 hours. So, we're

17:55good, guys. We're all right.

17:57>> You have uh seven more to go.

17:58>> All right. Best one. It really smells

18:00like cat urine. Like super unbelievable.

18:02>> Oh, and you have cats.

18:03>> U so bad.

18:09>> People do this for fun on a football

18:11field.

18:12>> Okay, so counter point. How wired do you

18:15feel right now? I'm like I'm going to be

18:16good to go for the show, but my gosh.

18:18All right, here's Mike's lineup. Bryce

18:20Young 21.46. That was good. Then Bucky

18:23Irving 6.1. Nope. Then Josh DS 4.6.

18:27Nope. Then Darren Waller. I uh

18:29definitely talked Mike into that trick.

18:32>> 6.6 fantasy points. 38.76.

18:35I think Tedro McMillan outscored your

18:37entire team. Didn't you do that to me

18:38once earlier this year, Mike?

18:40>> I wasn't paying attention.

18:41>> Okay, gotcha. I have some excuse though

18:44that I could fire up.

18:45>> Yes, I'm sure that you do.

18:47>> Uh I think the what what we talked about

18:49with that lineup is I went very matchup

18:51heavy and and I knew on paper I remember

18:54talking about this last week. Didn't

18:55look like the best squad, but I was

18:56thinking matchups all about the

18:57matchups. It did not work out for me

18:59last week.

18:59>> You want to hit?

19:00>> Do you want?

19:01>> No way.

19:04>> I don't think it's just

19:06>> I don't think it's kicking anymore.

19:07>> I know. I'm good.

19:08>> I don't think it's strong enough

19:09anymore.

19:09>> You don't think it's strong enough

19:10anymore?

19:10>> It needs like a refurbishing of them. Uh

19:12oh.

19:12>> Yeah, you lost me a cat iron.

19:14>> You want to try? I think he's saying

19:15it's not really that strong. Do you want

19:17to try it?

19:17>> Nope. I'm It's not my punishment. What

19:19are you trying to do? You going to share

19:20my punishment with me?

19:21>> Uh, I might have

19:24punishment, then you have to.

19:25>> All right. So, Mike Clay going to spin

19:26the wheel for setting the worst lineup

19:28here in week four.

19:29>> What do you got, buddy?

19:29>> Mike, your punishment is going to be And

19:32for those listening at home,

19:35>> what a That was a REALLY NICELY GENTLE

19:37>> OH MY GOD.

19:40LET'S GO. OH,

19:41>> YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. THAT IS SO

19:43LAME.

19:44>> THE LEG AND DO SMELLING SALTS and you

19:46get safe.

19:46>> What a perfect spin. You know you said I

19:48took a nice safe spin, landed right on

19:50safe. Nailed it.

19:51>> I'm so mad now.

19:53>> Are you kidding me?

19:54>> Do my smelling salts.

19:55>> No, I can't on principle. Now I can't

19:58punish myself.

19:59>> Did you run a projection of like how

20:01much muscle and force you have to put?

20:03>> Oh my gosh, I'm so mad.

20:05>> Yes. Damn it.

20:07>> That's how it's done, folks. Right

20:08there. Okay, that's how it's done. good

20:10process with the lineup and the football

20:12gods.

20:12>> So, how about this? Like,

20:15>> I am so sorry for Daniel. Let's just

20:17recap through four weeks. What's

20:18happened to Daniel in the starts of the

20:19week?

20:20>> First week I lose.

20:21>> Yes.

20:22>> We double We spin once, we get shared

20:25punishment. We spin it again. We get

20:27shared punishment. Then we get neck

20:29tattoos. Yes. Which for you is not

20:31really a punishment, but still you had

20:32to take part, right? Second week you

20:35lose. Third week you lose. Fourth week,

20:37Mike loses and gets no punishment.

20:40>> Yes.

20:40>> Well, you both did smelling salt.

20:42>> Let's have a conversation with the

20:43starts of the week.

20:43>> Seems rigged. Yes, I agree.

20:45>> How has Daniel failed you in the past?

20:47>> What have I done?

20:48>> How has he sinned, father?

20:49>> Well, thank you.

20:50>> In two of those four cases, you set the

20:52worst lineup. So, that's just how it

20:53goes.

20:53>> Oh my gosh. Let's talk about some long

20:55shots here. I did take a shot here with

20:57a Panthers tight end. Did not work out

20:59in Tommy Treblefield. I think you went

21:01with Elliot Manor in this one.

21:02>> Yep. Didn't work out.

21:03>> Mike Mike did another thing that we've

21:05been doing all year though. You set a

21:06guy that actually played well just in

21:08the end zone.

21:09>> Yeah, we're instead of getting scores,

21:11we're getting like good fantasy plays

21:12somehow.

21:13>> You'll play Khif Raymond saying start

21:15these guys as sleepers in fantasy or

21:17DFS. That's it's like trended toward

21:19that. But

21:20>> but we are burying the lead because

21:21producer Q,

21:23>> he thought about this one long and hard.

21:25PICKED TORY HORTON WHO GOT IN THE END

21:26ZONE, BABY.

21:27>> LET'S GO.

21:28>> I'M NOT GOING TO LIE. SO, like really

21:31well done by Q because I don't I don't

21:34exactly know what the thought process is

21:35for Tory Horton,

21:37>> right? Like Tory Horton wasn't really

21:38playing very much.

21:39>> It feels like every pass goes to JSN.

21:41>> Yep.

21:42>> And I guess the reality is that when

21:44you're drafting or picking players that

21:46are available in over 99.5% of leagues,

21:49there is no process. It's just good

21:51luck. So, nailed it by Q. Hopefully, he

21:53bet the end of time touchdown as well.

21:55Absolutely did.

21:55>> He did. Oh, let's go. Okay.

21:58>> Q was in on it. All right. Love that.

22:00So, that was a lot of fun. All

22:01>> right. Now, wait, does that count? Do we

22:02move it down to two now or is it It does

22:04count.

22:04>> Yeah, that counts.

22:06>> Got to be available in 98 99.75%.

22:10So,.3 or let's call it.3 or under.

22:12>> Just three or under. Yeah, seems I think

22:14so. Yeah, they're rounded on the site a

22:16little bit.

22:16>> Again, just like if you are if you've

22:18been if you've been tailing these picks

22:21>> to hit twice in four weeks is a redon

22:24like you'd be making money if you bet on

22:26all of the picks. Right.

22:27>> Right. So, something to consider.

22:29>> Something to consider. Let's talk about

22:31our knockout league update really quick.

22:33And our buddy, unfortunately, Matt Bowen

22:36did not survive the week. Was knocked

22:40out in this one. Joe Burrow did him

22:43pretty good, but uh unfortunately Jamar

22:45Chase got banged up. Garrett Wilson did

22:47not play unfortunately very well.

22:48DeAndre Swift also had a tough one. And

22:50then he had a couple of goose eggs on

22:52the bench.

22:53>> Do you guys know that Matt Bowens, you

22:55guys know this, but America needs to

22:56know this. Matt Bowen's son, Grant, is

22:59like one of the top five high school

23:01recruits for football in the country.

23:02>> Yeah, I think we talked about that a few

23:03weeks ago

23:04>> between him and Marcus Spears. We have

23:06just prodigy children coming from these

23:09families.

23:10>> Well, also like your kids are going to

23:12have like they share DNA with the

23:16greatest athlete.

23:18>> You know what I mean?

23:19>> Yeah, that's a good call. So, I'm hoping

23:20that college is free for my kids because

23:23there's a lot of them. There's a lot

23:25otherwise I might be toast. I'll be

23:27doing this podcast until I'm 90 at this

23:28rate.

23:29>> Let's dive into the priority waiver wire

23:31ads this week. Guys, we're going to

23:33start at the quarterback spot. You may

23:34have heard us have this story before. If

23:37you're playing the Detroit Lions, you

23:38might want to start the quarterback

23:39that's playing against them.

23:40>> Do it. Yes, do it.

23:41>> Kobe Brousette taking on the Detroit

23:42Lions. Available in 90% of leagues.

23:46Bryce Young actually scored the fewest

23:47points a quarterback has scored against

23:49the Lions this last week. He scored

23:50what? 21.7.

23:51>> 21.5.

23:52>> 21.5. So, four quarterbacks so far

23:55>> have been top 10 quarterbacks. You

23:57should grab Jacobe Brassette, not just

23:59off the waiver wire. You should put him

24:00directly into your starting lineup if

24:01you need somebody.

24:02>> Yeah, no doubt. 18.9 fantasy points per

24:04game last year. He hasn't been quite

24:06there so far this season. 16 and a half.

24:08Then he he's had two duds, six and a

24:10half and 10.4. Also had a 25.6. Um, and

24:13the week he actually got to 25. He

24:15required 52 pass attempts. So, the

24:17production hasn't been quite as good.

24:195.4 yards per pass attempt efficiency

24:21has been down. I think the Lions could

24:23probably fix a lot of that. But, uh, you

24:25know, I look back, I was kind of curious

24:26because Buret's now at about a full

24:28season with Arizona. Um, 16 games now as

24:31their starter since taking over for

24:33Kyler. 31 total touchdowns.

24:35>> Wow.

24:35>> Yeah. So, he he got the job done for

24:37most of last year. Um, and he does have,

24:40look, he does have two passing

24:40touchdowns exactly in two straight. So,

24:42he's trending the right way. And again,

24:44your Lions most touchdowns allowed with

24:4611 already through four games. So, I'm

24:48with you. Great streamer this week. The

24:50chatter is starting to pick up about

24:52whether the team will eventually turn

24:53the keys over to Carson Beck. Some

24:55saying like, why not do it now? It's

24:57clear the season is going sideways.

24:59Don't think it's going to happen in week

25:01five. And if Carson Beck does start in

25:03week five, even with that good of a

25:05matchup, having never played an NFL

25:07regular season snap before, would not

25:09feel nearly as good about the Cardinals

25:12offense.

25:12>> I agree. I think it's uh weighs down

25:14before they make a quarterback change.

25:16Maybe the trade deadline is where it

25:17becomes interesting if a team needs a

25:18quarterback. But remember, it's not just

25:20about the quarterback. It's also about

25:21the skill guys and they have to get the

25:23ball to Michael Wilson and Trey McBride

25:24and Jeremiah. You know what I mean? So,

25:26uh I think we have a little time on this

25:28one.

25:28>> Just a quick note, does feel like Marvin

25:30Harrison Jr. to the Colts is starting to

25:34like percolate a little bit,

25:36>> which I don't know if that resurrects

25:38his fantasy value, but

25:40>> is that real or is that just

25:42>> I think it's starting to like

25:43>> his dad like that's why people are

25:45bringing it up or it's a real

25:46>> No, I think this is like I think there's

25:47a non-zero chance now. It's where I

25:49think we've we've graduated to.

25:50>> Well, there is plenty of pressure on

25:52that GM. So, Chris Bard. So, first

25:54round. Yeah. All right, let's talk about

25:56the rest of them because I think we

25:57should weave some really important news

25:59in here as well, Dana, but give us your

26:00next priority ad and if there's anything

26:02relevant newswise, we'll talk about

26:03that, too.

26:04>> Yeah, right now. And we kind of talked

26:05about this at the top of the show, but

26:06Emanuel Wilson, if you needed somebody

26:08for this week with the way he played

26:09last week, would be the guy that we are

26:10looking at.

26:11>> And to reiterate, no Zach Charbet this

26:13week.

26:13>> Correct. No Zack Sharpet this week. And

26:14we don't know when he's going to come

26:15back. Still hasn't been designated when

26:17we know he will be part of this offense.

26:19I would still add Zack Sharpet off of

26:21waiverss if I had an open waivers,

26:23excuse me, an open IR spot. If I already

26:25had someone that I liked in the IR spot,

26:27I wouldn't add him. Um, but I would

26:28definitely look at Emanuel Wilson as the

26:30priority ad. And then we unfortunately

26:31found out

26:33>> for the Philadelphia Eagles, Tank Bsby

26:35also got hurt. So, we're not sure what's

26:36going to go on with Saquon Barkley. We

26:38know Tank Bixby is going to be out for a

26:39couple of weeks.

26:40>> Will Shipley, guys, as someone that

26:42you're looking at? How much faith would

26:43you have if you had to start Will

26:45Shipley? No. Mike shook his head. No.

26:46Okay.

26:47>> Yeah. I mean, there's a ton of volume

26:48available because name the Eagles fourth

26:50running back. Have you accounted for

26:51this? probably going to be Damen Pierce,

26:53I would imagine, but they also have

26:54Carson Steel name from the past.

26:55>> Carson Steel and Jaden Blue. So, they're

26:57the options. Two of those guys will be

26:59up this week, assuming Barkley's week to

27:01week is out. We know Bigs is definitely

27:02out. So, my guess is it'll be Shipley,

27:04but this is a guy that's never had 10

27:06carries in a game before. He's had some

27:08passing game involvement so far this

27:09season. I I suspect he'll be the leader,

27:12but probably maxes out as half at half

27:14the carries

27:15>> and uh a couple of targets as well.

27:18>> Yeah, remember they're playing

27:19Jacksonville. They're allowing 2.8 8

27:21yards per carry so far. Running back one

27:23of the best run defenses in the league.

27:24>> We just want dump offs. Like that's what

27:25Will Shipley does though. Better. He's a

27:27much better pass catching back. I think

27:28>> I think you said it quickly. So just for

27:30those that maybe have missed it, Saquon

27:32Barkley is now week to week with the

27:34hamstring injury, which you know it's

27:36not that's not specific like could he

27:38play this week? I guess it's

27:39theoretically possible.

27:40>> I would say week to week. If someone is

27:42listed week to week, I pulled them out

27:43of the projections. Correct. That week

27:45there's a reason they didn't say dayto

27:46day. Yeah.

27:46>> Yeah. Not this week, but potentially as

27:48soon as next week. It did not look good

27:50for Saquon Barkley when he pulled up and

27:52we've seen hamstering injuries cost

27:54players multiple weeks on plenty of

27:56occasions.

27:57>> Those would be the only two running

27:58backs that we're really looking at so

27:59far this week that are going to get

28:00starting runs and that would be Emanuel

28:02Wilson and Will Shipley. Anyone else

28:03that you guys like?

28:05>> I don't even really like Will Shipley,

28:06but he's just another one to add.

28:07>> I would add this to the Will Shipley

28:09conversation. The volume I think might

28:10be better than what Mike just mentioned,

28:1250% or so of the snaps or total touches.

28:15I would also note though like not all

28:17touches and opportunities are created

28:19equally. They're going up against

28:21Jacksonville which Mike just alluded to

28:22and it is like the third string

28:25offensive line is going to play behind

28:26in a struggling offense as it is. Lane

28:29Johnson will see he missed this past

28:31week's game due to personal issues. Cam

28:33Jurgens, who is a player that they have

28:35been leaning on at center, is now in the

28:38concussion protocol. Landon Dickerson

28:41already placed on injured reserve.

28:42Daniel's taking smelling salts. might

28:44have to be in there.

28:45>> I think I'm addicted now, guys.

28:46>> So, it's a banged up offensive line.

28:48They don't play with the fullback, you

28:49know, and and and so it's not like they

28:51have like different ways to create

28:53>> running lanes there. It's it's uh it's

28:55kind of messy right now, Mike, for your

28:57Philadelphia Eagles. So, Shipley, I do

28:59think needs to be added because running

29:00backs are so paper thin, but his outlook

29:03relative to a guy stepping into a

29:05starting role is not that rosy.

29:06>> Yeah, it's going to be it could be one

29:08week of Shipley and it might not be very

29:10good. You know, you might not get to

29:11double digit fantasy points. So, don't

29:13overspend is what I would say. I'm not

29:15going to go out of my way for Will

29:16Shipley unless I absolutely am desperate

29:18for for an RB2 this week. And you might

29:20be with the injuries and and don't wor

29:22don't forget Ken Walker and Chuba Hubard

29:24are by so you might need them because I

29:27was going to say to you like don't don't

29:28go crazy. It's not a great waiverwire

29:31week this week once again. And Jacobe

29:33Brassette only makes sense if you're

29:35somebody like if you've been starting

29:36the likes of Bon Knicks or um I'm trying

29:40to think like Justin Herbert. Justin

29:41Herbert,

29:42>> one of my lowest ranked quarter

29:44quarterbacks this week.

29:44>> Who does May get this week?

29:46>> Yeah, Raiders. Drake May's

29:48probably still but even like Jared

29:50Goff's a great he's also a great

29:52streamer. You know,

29:53>> I'm just saying like you know playing

29:55over Jaylen Herz play good example too.

29:58Yeah,

29:58>> if you have, but if you've, you know,

30:00like the number of people that have a

30:01quarterback that aren't going to mess

30:02around with Jacobe Buret, if you have

30:04>> Josh Allen, if you have Lamar Lamar's

30:07uncertain

30:08>> Yeah, we're in this conversation.

30:10>> News we should discuss is that Joe B uh

30:12Lamar Jackson sounds unlikely to play

30:14this week.

30:15>> Yeah.

30:15>> So, we'll talk about Snoop Huntley and

30:17what that means for the value of Zay

30:19Flowers, that's kind of the only

30:20impacted player. If there's a silver

30:22lining of sorts of Lamar missing time,

30:24it's that Derrick Henry is still going

30:26to be startable and the Raiders are a

30:28one-man passing attack that is a

30:30guarantee to be in your lineup. Mark

30:32Andrews on the periphery, but Mark

30:35Andrews hasn't exactly been lighting it

30:36up with Lamar. Z Flowers has been.

30:39>> Yeah, he was uh Lamar was one I couldn't

30:41read through the words. It was like

30:42something like it's not a super

30:45long-term injury or I I can't remember

30:47exactly what the quote was off the top

30:48of my head, but I was like, yeah, it's

30:50does that mean

30:50>> there's been subsequent reporting this

30:52morning from Ian Raport, which is let's

30:54see, let me get the exact terminology

30:56from Ian, which is

30:57>> how many quarterbacks then Wallfield

30:59looks this up. Oh, you got it.

31:00>> Lamar Jackson is dealing with a sprained

31:01ankle that gives him only an outside

31:03chance to play Sunday against

31:05>> All right. So, he'll be out of the

31:06projections today. I mean,

31:07>> so Lamar Jackson out of the projections.

31:08>> Well, it's just brand new.

31:09>> Yeah, it's like on the way into the

31:11Bucks. Got it. Got

31:12>> we know we're going to be without Bryce

31:13Young and Patrick Mahomes. There's a

31:15good chance you don't want to start

31:16Jaylen Herz this week. You don't want to

31:18start Justin Herbert. There's a handful

31:19of guys that we would have had inside

31:20the top 10 that like now all of a sudden

31:22Jacobe Brassette at least comes into the

31:23conversation. But I want to talk about

31:25some wide receivers guys.

31:26>> Let's do it. Yeah, these are

31:27interesting.

31:27>> Kemanleman Keon Coleman and Dante Myers

31:30both they had really nice games for

31:32their squads. Do you think that there

31:33was enough here that this is a potential

31:36investment opportunity for something

31:38more in the future?

31:39>> Yeah. Well, I mean, worth noting that

31:41their opportunities. Yeah, exactly.

31:43Demar Chase in concussion protocol that

31:45assisted Dante Meyers.

31:47>> DJ Moore dealing with that shoulder

31:49injury that assisted Keon Coleman. So,

31:52>> neither of those guys is a lock to play

31:54in week five, which means that both of

31:56these players, Dante Myers and Keon

31:57Coleman

31:58>> are both at least a betat.

31:59>> Yeah, these are both if then

32:01>> to make. Yes. Yes, that's a good way to

32:02put it. An if then.

32:03>> Stole that from our guy from our guy

32:05Alzidenfeld. Used to use that all the

32:07time for DFS. Yeah, it's certainly an if

32:09then. I mean, if if the other guy's out,

32:11you can consider these guys, but that's

32:12it. I mean, Coleman has one catch for

32:15one yard and one catch for 37 yards in

32:17the two games Moore has played in full

32:18the two. He's been out six for 63 and

32:20six for 116 in a touchdown. So, obvious

32:23if then there, by the way, they're

32:25playing the Rams, too. So, even if Moore

32:26is out,

32:27>> be tough. Coleman is going to have his

32:28hands full here. Uh the Rams are midack

32:31and fantasy points to receivers, but

32:34that's due to six touchdowns. It's a

32:35little inflated. They've allowed the

32:36fewest passing yards this season and the

32:38second lowest EPA against the pass. So,

32:40they've been really tough and he got off

32:41to a slow start. And as for Myers, yeah,

32:43he was terrific last season. Good stat

32:45line, seven for 82, had five targets the

32:47week before. But again, we've talked

32:49about this. The problem with playing

32:51Miami is that you're not throwing the

32:53ball very much. You don't have to. Uh

32:55Miami's allowed one touchdown and the

32:58third few fewest of his fantasy points

32:59to wide receivers so far. Only Rasheed

33:00Rice has gotten to 11 and a half points

33:02against him. He's the only one. So

33:05that's that's a little bit dangerous,

33:06especially if T. Higgins or Jamar Chase

33:08are able to go in this game. Again, I'm

33:10not going to overspend on Meyers. I'm

33:12more likely to spend up a little on

33:14Coleman just because he might actually

33:17be breaking out. Like at some point he

33:18might emerge as a a guy we feel like is

33:21the flex option even with DJ Moore

33:23because Dalton Concade's going the wrong

33:24direction. Sure.

33:25>> And Khalil Shakir, we know he's not

33:27going to be used near the goal line. So

33:28it's at least possible Keon Coleman's

33:30having a year three breakout. It's just

33:32one a guy that you would keep on your

33:33bench.

33:33>> Adam Sher tweeted yesterday or maybe it

33:35was late Sunday night that DJ Moore's

33:38shoulder injury was a reagravation of

33:40the prior one.

33:41>> It is not considered serious. Sorry, it

33:43is not considered long-term as of right

33:45now. So,

33:46>> okay.

33:47>> Could that be that he is, you know, is

33:49he out this week? I would say not

33:52considered long-term right now means he

33:55could be out this week.

33:56>> I would think so.

33:57>> I agree. It's a It's a tossup. I try to

33:59he's still in the projections as DJ

34:01Moore, but I try to be a little bit

34:03conservative early in the week and then

34:04today we'll learn something.

34:05>> I was saying just to to if you're

34:06considering Keon Coleman on the waiverss

34:08and when Mike is saying spend up on

34:10waiverss, I hope people understand he

34:12means if you have a fab budget. Yes.

34:14Free agent acquisition budget.

34:15>> Yeah. Or use your claim. Yeah. I mean,

34:17I'm just saying I'm more likely to go

34:18after Coleman. And when I say spend up

34:20by, by the way, a couple bucks, you

34:22know, like it's there's a difference

34:24between throwing $1 at a guy to fill out

34:26your bench and maybe going up. You know

34:28what? I'll do $5 this week on Keon

34:30Coleman.

34:30>> I understand. Not I'm not saying 40 or,

34:32you know,

34:33>> not everyone does leagues where you have

34:35FAB, but more often than not, our

34:37leagues will have waiver priority. And I

34:39get to a spot sometimes where when you

34:42have a high waiver priority, it's like,

34:44is this the week that I really want to

34:46use my number one claim on on these guys

34:48or do I want to save it for another week

34:50where there might be a better option?

34:51I'm not sure if I have number one waiver

34:52priority. Anyone's like screaming at me

34:54this week that I have to grab. Well,

34:55also it depends on whether your waiver

34:57priority sets each week, resets or each

34:58correct or not, right? Exactly. Which

35:00many

35:00>> gota know your rules.

35:01>> Um, all right, let's go on one more.

35:03Okay.

35:03>> Wide receiver spot.

35:05>> Is Tyreek Hill worth an ad, a

35:06speculative ad at the very end?

35:08>> Question. Would you drop Brian Robinson

35:09Jr.

35:10>> Tyreek Hill?

35:11>> That's what I need to know.

35:12>> Yes,

35:14>> I will. You know what? As a make good,

35:16if you want Brian Robinson Jr. back,

35:18I'll add him off of waiverss and you can

35:20trade me back.

35:21>> Okay. All right. I mean, one your guy

35:24had more touchdowns than my guy, so that

35:25seems like an easy call. Uh yeah, look,

35:27I think uh Tyreek Hill is worth just add

35:32to your bench. Again, I'm not going to

35:33spend a lot here because we don't even

35:34know if he what he has left, if he's

35:36going to be if he's going to sign with

35:37the team where we want him to go. What

35:38if he doesn't go to the Chiefs or

35:40somewhere else? And what if he's still

35:41what if I I do too. I I think that's the

35:43most likely outcome, but might not even

35:45be startable in fantasy. Yeah,

35:46>> he might be a situational guy. Um I will

35:48say this, the last time we saw him, 7.2

35:51two targets per game, 5.3 catches, 66

35:53yards, 13.4 fantasy points per game.

35:56That was the first four weeks of last

35:57season before uh what was a major injury

35:59obviously. So, um there's still a lot of

36:02to learn here. A lot has to go right for

36:04him to be fantasy relevant, especially

36:06in 10 team leagues. But

36:08>> remember, is it also possibly is 130

36:11yards and two touchdowns in week six,

36:13week 17, and helps you win your league.

36:14Yes. So that's why he's fine as a

36:17speculative end of bench guy much like a

36:19an insurance running back for the time

36:21being.

36:21>> I think that's well said is that like

36:22end of bench and it's know your needs,

36:24know your roster, right? And as you look

36:25at players that are available on the

36:27waiver wire right now, how many of them

36:30have championship equity for your team,

36:32>> right?

36:32>> And the answer is not that many. Tyreek

36:36Hill might not have any either, but if

36:37you had to take a guess of like who's

36:39more likely to help me win a title with

36:41a strong second half push, is it Dante

36:44Meyers or is it Tyreek Hill?

36:46>> Tyreek Hill.

36:46>> Right.

36:46>> So that's kind of how I calculate these

36:48things is like if I'm going to really if

36:50I'm desperate, if I'm one and three or 0

36:51and four and I have to win just to keep

36:53my season afloat, then I can't use my

36:55waiver priority on Tyreek Hill. Do

36:57>> you know why Tyreek Hill is listed as

36:59out? That makes him IR eligible in our

37:01game.

37:01>> Well, he's hurt,

37:02>> but he's a free agent. Like are you

37:04going to be listed as out if you don't

37:06have a team to give you a designation?

37:07>> I guess so. Yeah.

37:08>> Okay.

37:08>> Yeah, I guess so. Um yeah, by the way, I

37:11agree 100%. There's that's the tricky

37:13part of fantasy sometimes. Sometimes you

37:15need to add someone because you need to

37:16fire him up for a week. Like maybe last

37:18week you picked up Bryson Tmaine in a 16

37:21team league because you needed a wide

37:22receiver badly and it was a great

37:24matchup,

37:24>> but you're not just going to leave him

37:26sitting on your bench now. Like you want

37:28to a guy with more upside. I think kind

37:30of funny just I'm gonna give you guys a

37:31random name that kind of fits this bill.

37:33When I'm looking at let's say I throw a

37:35guy on IR Sunday morning, right? He's

37:36ruled out. Yeah.

37:37>> And I'm looking at waiverss trying to

37:39find like a guy that fits that bill. A

37:41guy that could be a league winner. Yep.

37:42>> Seth McGawan,

37:44>> right? Like guys like that are the guys

37:46that you just want to throw on there

37:47because if something happens to Jonathan

37:49Taylor,

37:50>> that's where everyone's going on the

37:51waiverwire next week. He will be the guy

37:54we talk if Taylor was out for the

37:55season, he would be the only guy we'd be

37:57talking about today. Seth McGowan, you

37:58got to get him. They don't really have

37:59anyone else at running back and they

38:00might go acquire someone, but McGawan

38:02the next week might see 18 touches and

38:04they seem to like him a lot. He was a

38:06day three draft pick this year, but they

38:07seem to like him and he's the clear

38:09number two in a good situation there.

38:11So, those are the kind of guys you want

38:13to fill out the end of your bench.

38:15>> It's not quite Alexander Madison behind

38:18Dalvin Cook, but Seth McGawan has a

38:20little bit of the Jonathan Taylor

38:21aesthetic to him that when he's in the

38:23game and gets a carry, I'm like, "There

38:25we go, baby. More yards for JT." And

38:26then it's like, nope, that's Seth

38:28McGawan. My bad. I take it back.

38:30>> Was he 20

38:31>> last night? Wasn't Isn't Brian Robinson

38:3417? And

38:34>> he's 15.

38:35>> Oh, was he 15? Okay. All right, then.

38:37Never mind.

38:37>> I didn't like it. He still has a the

38:39same size body as as Bjan Robinson. I

38:41didn't like seeing that.

38:42>> Guys, let's take a couple of questions

38:43from the the uh YouTube chat if you

38:46don't mind. Follow our buddy Eric Moody.

38:48Eric and Moody everywhere on social

38:50media, hanging out with all the people

38:52here in chat with us. This first one

38:54comes from Peter Vaselik. wants to know

38:57Matthew Golden or RJ Harvey at the

38:59>> Molden. Come on.

39:00>> I think R.J. Harvey like the 10 targets

39:02is probably a mirage.

39:04>> I would agree with that.

39:05>> Yeah, definitely. Do you know Matthew

39:06Golden has like

39:07>> seven more targets than Christian

39:09Watson. I mean his he has consistently

39:11been in the 20 mid 20% target share. I

39:13mean he's he's rolling. I think you can

39:15make a case for Golden over Watson. I'm

39:17I'm giving a slight edge in my rankings

39:18to Watson because he has that upside and

39:20the scoring equity, but it's I think you

39:22can make the case.

39:23>> It's getting close. Uh, do you guys know

39:24many Broncos fans?

39:26>> Do I know many Broncos fans?

39:28>> Like, what do Broncos fans feel about

39:29this offense right now?

39:30>> Yeah. Very,

39:31>> that's a good question.

39:32>> Lot a lot of the teams like that this

39:33year. You're like, how?

39:34>> Yeah.

39:34>> How are they worse?

39:36>> You had Jaylen Wadd, you still have an

39:37elite O line. Bon Knicks is year three.

39:39You still have Sutton. How?

39:41>> Crazy. How is it worse?

39:42>> No idea. No idea.

39:43>> I mean, the the only thing you could

39:44point to is the change really is the

39:45play caller. So, hopefully that'll

39:47improve for them.

39:47>> Yeah.

39:48>> All right. Next question we have from

39:49our chat. Fully baked wants to know,

39:52debating on dropping Jaylen Herz for

39:54Jacobe Brassette. Am I crazy? I also

39:56have Bryce Young on my bench.

39:58>> I think that's a little too quick of a

40:00hook on Jaylen Herz.

40:01>> Would you drop Bryce Young then for

40:03Jacobe Brassette?

40:04>> I'm not even sure I'd do that. I would

40:05pick up like there's is there nobody on

40:08your bench that's

40:08>> Would you roster three quarterbacks in

40:10order to Okay,

40:12>> with one of them on a buy and one of

40:13them in a bad matchup. Absolutely. Okay.

40:14>> Yeah.

40:15>> I don't even know if Jaylen Herz is

40:16going to outscore Bryce Young the rest

40:18of the season.

40:19But again, I said this yesterday. I want

40:21to excuse some of Herz because

40:24>> there's so many injuries. I mean,

40:25they're dealing with more injuries than

40:27they're getting really that's being

40:28discussed. So, it's been rough. I mean,

40:30>> we started at the very beginning of the

40:32year talking about how the Eagles and

40:34I'm excited for the rest of this week.

40:35They had a very easy schedule. Now that

40:37we're a month into the season, I'm

40:39excited to be able to relook at it and

40:40see kind of where that falls for Jaylen

40:42Herz when we dive in later this week.

40:44That's a um I gotta be honest with you.

40:46>> That's a tough one.

40:47>> When you say like d like dropping Jaylen

40:51Herz is one of those things that

40:53>> the ones that you regret the most when

40:55when you plant your flag on something is

40:57when it's you're betting against the

40:59established superstar.

41:00>> Yeah.

41:01>> Even if there are real warning signs.

41:03I've been guilty of this throughout my

41:05career at ESPN, like being a year too

41:07late rather than a year too early to

41:09count out a team that you're like, "No,

41:11no, no." Like just by default, they're

41:14still in the mix, right? I was with um I

41:16feel like when Seattle and now they're

41:19back at the top, but like when they were

41:20still kind of hanging around with

41:22Russell Wilson at the end of his time in

41:24Seattle, I was like, "No, no, no. The

41:25Seahawks will find a way. They'll be

41:26there." Have had plenty of those.

41:28Remember the Patriots that last year,

41:30the top ratings? There plenty of

41:31examples. Um, and like am I fully

41:35confident that Jaylen Herz is a top 10

41:37quarterback rest of the season? No. Am I

41:39sort of confident? Sort of confident.

41:42But that's a far cry from where I had

41:43been with Jaylen every other year. But

41:45this question in some ways feels

41:48outlandish. And it could make you look

41:50ridiculous if you drop Jaylen Herz and

41:53he gets it going so you can have one

41:55bite at the apple against the Lions with

41:57Jacobe Brassette. Think that. But my gut

42:00is telling me there's got to be somebody

42:02else on your roster that's more

42:04droppable than Jaylen Herz.

42:05>> Yeah, I think so. Maybe for now. I think

42:07there's also a real chance that remember

42:09Jaylen Hersz has never put up huge

42:10passing numbers. He's been relying on

42:12that elite rushing. If he doesn't have

42:14that, is he just like a and for from a

42:17fantasy perspective like a Kyler uh

42:20Marota sort of fantasy producer?

42:22>> He might be he might be from a real

42:25perspective. He might be a fringe QB1

42:27going forward in fantasy. Yikes.

42:29>> If he's not putting up those elite

42:30passing numbers, I will say this, they

42:32>> again tipping this a little bit, but the

42:34schedule still looks really good for the

42:36Eagles moving forward. The playoff

42:37schedule is brutal, but

42:39>> over the next few months, it's still

42:41pretty light.

42:41>> All right, I think I agree with Field. I

42:43would try not to drop Jaylen Herz, but I

42:44think we will all have Jacobe Brassette

42:46probably ranked ahead of Jaylen Herz

42:48this week in our week five rankings. All

42:50right, one more question here.

42:52>> Rody wants to know, do we hold on Acha

42:54Ibuka? Are we looking for trades? If

42:56you're trading right now, you're trading

42:57too low, right?

42:58>> Yeah. Exactly right. That's the problem.

43:00>> Bench, not drop.

43:01>> Yeah.

43:01>> Yep.

43:02>> You really just have to hold.

43:03>> Just hold. That's I just look for this

43:05week.

43:06>> Wide receiver 43 y in the in my rankings

43:10for this week. I mean, with Jaylen

43:11Daniels, but when look, when Baker comes

43:13back, maybe they get it rolling and he's

43:14back in the top 20 conversation. But

43:16right now, he should be on benches.

43:17>> I have trade advice that's that's in a

43:19vacuum. It's not specific to this or

43:20just in general because I think we're

43:22starting, you know, now that the season

43:23has a bit of a sample size, you're

43:24starting to see some people want to move

43:26and shake a little bit.

43:27>> Um, the best thing that you can do for

43:30me with trades is be fair from the jump.

43:33>> Yeah, it you're like to get a good

43:35player, you probably have to get up give

43:36up a good player. To get a great player,

43:39you might have to give up two awesome

43:40players or two very good players. But

43:42these chemically imbalanced trades just

43:44come across as disingenuous. And it's

43:46like, do you want to do business or not?

43:48Mhm.

43:48>> It sucks, right? Like it's it sucks when

43:51you have to give away a good player, but

43:52like you're not going to be able to

43:53hoodwink somebody into giving them like,

43:55dude, like I'm telling you, like I I

43:57really do think you should be giving me

43:59Jonathan Taylor.

44:00>> You know what, Elfield, you might be

44:02able to do that, but don't be that

44:04person in the league. That phrase on the

44:06people that don't have as much knowledge

44:07because there's always a handful of

44:08people.

44:08>> I feel you. But let's assume like

44:10leagues where like people are all kind

44:11of like generally invested like the idea

44:13of being like listen

44:15>> Jonathan Taylor for Terry McLaren and DK

44:18Medaf like let's make a deal

44:20>> right like is that really like that's I

44:21mean

44:23that's going to be what gets a Jonathan

44:25Taylor trade done probably not

44:27>> I probably want something more for that

44:28>> yeah of course you want something more

44:29you probably want you know a really good

44:31running back and a wide receiver for

44:33Jonathan

44:33>> Taylor I will say there's nothing worse

44:34than making a trade offer and it's

44:37immediately accepted just like, uhoh,

44:39did I did I was it too much? Did I

44:41overpay? I mean, we we're,

44:43>> you know, we're going to be more

44:44thoughtful with our offers. So, that's

44:46not really something we're going to be

44:47too worried about. If we make an offer,

44:48obviously, we feel like it's fair to us.

44:50But,

44:51>> in general, it's just like, uhoh, maybe

44:52I

44:53>> maybe I gave up a little too much if

44:55they hit the I've been there the on the

44:57other direction where I get an offer and

44:59I'm like, I can't like how do I get in

45:00and accept? We wanted them in a dynasty

45:02league in this offseason where someone

45:04offered us their 2027

45:06>> firstrounder for pick 1.1 this year.

45:09This was before it was it was late last

45:11season. It was during the season

45:13>> like yeah we'll take the guaranteed 1.1

45:15a year earlier and we I couldn't

45:17couldn't get faster.

45:20Right.

45:20>> And we of course took Jeremiah Love.

45:21Yeah. Yep.

45:22>> All right let's do it.

45:23>> We're going to dive into a new segment

45:24here guys. We got a month into the

45:26season. We got a little bit of uh

45:28history now that we can look back on

45:29with these players. little bit of a

45:31sample size. I'm bringing some blind box

45:32scores to the table. I know who these

45:34players are. Mike and Field do not, but

45:37there were some things that I thought

45:38were noticeable when I looked through

45:40the first month of the season and then

45:42we're just going to discuss what we

45:43think about these players afterwards.

45:44So, I'm going to give you guys player

45:46one from a blind box score. You can see

45:48it on the YouTube feed if you're

45:49watching from home. First player, four

45:52catches for 40 yards, 10 targets in week

45:54one for eight fantasy points.

45:56>> Okay.

45:56>> Four for 27 on nine targets and 6.7 in

45:59week two. three for 31 and a touchdown.

46:01Only five targets though in week three

46:03and then five for 115 on nine targets in

46:07week four for 16.5 fantasy points. One

46:09of the things that stands out to me

46:11there guys and the reason why it was so

46:13big was the number of targets. I mean

46:14nine plus targets in three of four games

46:17here. Do you think you know who this

46:18player is?

46:19>> I do. I'm a sicko. I

46:20>> I don't I my thought was KC Conception

46:23but there's no carries there so it's not

46:24him. Um

46:25>> he's wide receiver 10 in targets,

46:28>> wide receiver four in routes run, and

46:30wide receiver one in snaps played.

46:32>> He's also Do you want me to give him a

46:35guess?

46:35>> Um yeah, you can.

46:37>> He's also wide receiver one in muscle

46:39distribution. It's DK Metaf.

46:40>> Oh,

46:41>> this is in fact DK Metaf.

46:42>> Good call.

46:43>> When you look at this, is there any

46:44reason to be a little bit more

46:45optimistic about DK Metaf's volume with

46:47us not seeing Michael Pitman materialize

46:49the way that Mike and I hoped he would?

46:51At least we talk about volume being

46:53king. This isn't that kind of an offense

46:55where Aaron Rogers necessarily brings

46:57you a ton of excitement with what he

46:59brings to the table. But would you say

47:01no to nine plus targets? Is there

47:02something more here to DK Metaf than

47:04what we're

47:04>> um here's what I would say is that in

47:06back-to-back weeks, Aaron Rogers has had

47:08a yards uh per attempt.

47:11>> Yep.

47:11>> I think even an air yards per attempt

47:13might

47:14>> Oh, guys,

47:15>> over 10 yards. Yeah.

47:17>> Wow.

47:17>> Aaron Rogers is being much more

47:19aggressive on the field right now. That

47:20bodess very well for DK Med. It

47:22>> sure does. for the limitations he may

47:24have is amongst the best deep ball

47:26threats of the last what 25 years in the

47:28league.

47:28>> Yeah,

47:29>> he's an exception. He's a rare deep ball

47:31threat. So

47:31>> yeah, has the Colts this week top 30

47:33play should be in lineups. I would say

47:34>> only wide receiver 32 in fantasy points

47:36but wide receiver 10 in targets. I'm

47:38assuming there are more expected fantasy

47:40points on top there. When you look at

47:42the Steelers wide receiving core though,

47:43honestly DK Mechaf is actually second on

47:46the team behind Roman Wilson.

47:48>> Yeah, who barely played last week by the

47:50way. I believe his target share was 30%.

47:52So Roman Wilson's still very clearly

47:54third or sometimes fourth in line too

47:56because Jeremy Bernard's getting mixed

47:57in. We'll see if that number goes up for

47:59now though. Wilson not startable. Metaf

48:01is and obviously Pitman borderline

48:04rosterable, but I'm going to write about

48:05him for the playbook this week. I'm I'm

48:07optimistic or I'm hopeful they'll get

48:09him going at some point, but so far so

48:10>> I would drop Michael Pitman for Jacobe

48:13Brassette if I also had Jaylen Herz.

48:14>> Yeah, I actually have a league in which

48:16I put that waiver claim in literally

48:18this morning.

48:19>> You did not. No, I promise we have a

48:20very short bench and so the options are

48:22limited. Um, can I ask is the point of

48:24this like once we see the blind box

48:26scores?

48:26>> I just want to talk about it

48:27>> and just like you you think sort of

48:29you're assessing up or down. Yeah. After

48:32the first month of the season,

48:33>> we all agree going in the right

48:34direction

48:34>> and I would have said the opposite. I

48:36would because Mike and I were very into

48:37Michael Pitman. One of the things that

48:39we saw from Aaron Rogers earlier this or

48:41last season was he just wasn't throwing

48:42the ball deep. Now after the first month

48:44with them kind of volume that he's

48:45getting and Aaron Rogers pushing the

48:47ball downfield, I think there's a little

48:48bit more excitement around DK Metaf than

48:50we did than we had to start the season.

48:52>> I'm just hoping with Pitman because

48:53remember five straight years of just

48:55heavy usage and production in

48:57Indianapolis. It doesn't make sense for

48:58them to acquire him, have him play

49:00basically all the snaps and run all the

49:02routes and just not throw him. I'm

49:04hoping there's a little bit of remember

49:05he's out week two like rishy rice to him

49:07where maybe he's just not there yet and

49:10he's not being featured in the game plan

49:12and then that'll change as the season

49:13goes on. If not I don't know what

49:15they're thinking. I don't know why they

49:16acquired him.

49:17>> Next four weeks are Indie Tampa New

49:19Orleans and then a buy. So they've got a

49:21nice little schedule there for DK Metaf

49:23coming up. All right, here's another guy

49:24they want to throw up here. A blind box

49:26score through the first month of the

49:28season. This player

49:29>> Oh, I know this one.

49:30>> Five for 130 and 18 points.

49:32>> Mhm. Seven for 95 and a touchdown. 22

49:34and a half points and then two for 38

49:363.8 and one for seven here in week four.

49:40>> Yeah, I got this one.

49:42>> I'm gonna let you I have to hold on

49:44then.

49:44>> Let let field stew for a second.

49:47>> This player I believe I'm writing. Yeah,

49:49I am.

49:50>> This player leads his position in the

49:53average depth of target.

49:54>> Okay,

49:57>> I keep giving you uh hints. He's still a

50:00lineup block. Writing about him in the

50:02playbook because he's trending the wrong

50:04direction.

50:04>> Is trending the wrong direction.

50:05>> Went into like the sixth round I would

50:07say by the end of draft season.

50:09>> Totally flumx by who this is.

50:10>> He's one of his teammates might be

50:12getting traded soon.

50:13>> 77% of his targets came when he was

50:16lined up at the wide receiver position.

50:18That is one

50:18>> shadowed half the time last week.

50:20>> Daltton Concincaid has been so bad.

50:22>> What? That's Oh my god. I was wrong. I

50:25was think I was so confident that I was

50:28right. Wow. Who you?

50:30>> I thought it WAS PARKER WASHINGTON.

50:31>> NO.

50:32>> OH,

50:32>> WOW.

50:33>> IT WAS LIKE IT'S LIKE THE same thing. Oh

50:35my. I was so confident.

50:37>> Guys, why didn't you stop me from giving

50:38all them terrible hints?

50:40>> I'm I'm letting you do the This is

50:41You're You're the one that wants to talk

50:42about it.

50:42>> You know what? You have the answer.

50:44>> I do have the answer. Dan King. Wow.

50:45>> Trending the wrong direction, guys.

50:47>> I got to look at this now.

50:48>> Are we at a spot where you're looking at

50:50Daltton on that one?

50:52>> Yeah.

50:53>> And you say to yourself, "We thought we

50:55had something."

50:55>> Yeah. And now where it's like shoot

50:57everything that we thought this is just

50:59Dton Concincaid from last year and the

51:00year before and the year before is is is

51:02that where we're at through the first

51:03month of the season?

51:03>> Yeah, unfortunately. Yes. And I was

51:05remember after week two I was like this

51:07could be the breakout point of fantasy

51:09football. Yes. Um and that would not

51:11>> instead it's like been an outbreak of

51:12sadness and disappointment for D.

51:14>> So what do you do here? Because that

51:16that's I think the question that people

51:17that either added Dalton Concincaid or

51:19maybe the very rare people that drafted

51:21Daltton Concincaid is

51:23>> if you added him.

51:26>> Are there options that you would turn to

51:28instead?

51:29>> Like go to Waverwire. No. Right now. No.

51:31>> No. Not if he's the guy you're set on.

51:33But like in the FFC league, which is,

51:34you know, 10 team league, I had Tyler

51:36Warren and then I picked up Dolan

51:37Concaid. So I could just go back to the

51:38well with Tyler Warren, which is what I

51:40did last year.

51:40>> A good example of sticking with Tyler

51:42Warren. I just don't know that given

51:44some of the injuries and just given the

51:46fact that there have been a couple been

51:48a couple players who haven't come close

51:49to realizing sort of the potential we

51:51hope for them coming into this season.

51:53>> I think Doulson can gay just fits into

51:54that big old bucket of

51:56>> yo-yo players usableish tight ends.

52:00>> Yeah, I mean I was obviously terribly

52:02wrong on that, but one thing that's uh

52:04was accurate that I said is that uh I

52:06did write about him for the playbook. So

52:08the one the problem when I was looking

52:09at it was I was like trying to figure

52:10out a rhyme or reason for what has

52:13happened and I don't really have one. I

52:15mean week one the playing time was

52:16there, week two was Detroit. I mean you

52:18can excuse it on that. Like

52:19>> DJ Moore got hurt though and it was

52:21>> and but the last two games I don't know

52:23he's not playing as near as productive.

52:25I don't know.

52:26>> It still feels to me like this offense

52:28is like what we saw from the Packers

52:30last year where it's just like one week

52:31it's going to be Keian Coleman, one week

52:33it's going to be Daltton Kane, one week

52:34it's going to be Dawson Knox one.

52:36>> Yeah. or what we've seen from concade

52:37his whole career so far.

52:38>> It's just like maybe it just on which

52:41week is going to be the week that he

52:42smashes. So, unfortunately, probably not

52:44the guy that you hoped after the first

52:46two weeks,

52:47>> but we'll see whether or not we keep

52:49here as we dive into the

52:50>> I know the last two for sure.

52:51>> All right.

52:52>> Yeah, I know one of them now.

52:53>> Yeah,

52:54>> last two we have. It's a little bit of a

52:56uh backtoback. We're going to see which

52:58wide receiver would you rather have.

52:59These are the season stats. 28 targets,

53:0318 receptions, 225 receiving yards for

53:0640 fantasy points.

53:07>> Okay.

53:07>> On the left side, right side, 26

53:09targets, only two less, 16 receptions,

53:12two less, 228 receiving yards, only

53:14three more, and two touchdowns for 51.1

53:17fantasy points.

53:18>> All right. So, the reason why I know who

53:19both these players are is because you

53:20gave us or at least our rundown has the

53:23game by-game outlook for these two

53:25players.

53:25>> Correct. I think if you were just

53:27reading the information or watching the

53:29information that Daniel gave you a

53:30moment ago, when you've got a guy who

53:32was drafted in the top three rounds

53:34without a touchdown so far this season,

53:36there's sort of like one guy that's not

53:38like the others. And who would that

53:40player be?

53:41>> I'm spacing on it. I don't know.

53:42>> Really?

53:43>> Yeah.

53:44>> Oh, yeah. Of course.

53:45>> Right.

53:46>> Yes.

53:46>> Okay. Yeah.

53:46>> George Pickkins is one of them.

53:48>> And the targets have been there for the

53:49most part. Like not ter down, but not

53:51terrible so far. what you're seeing on

53:53that graphic

53:54>> has six targets, eight targets, 11

53:56targets, and then three targets this

53:57last week. So, not terrible, but has not

53:59found the end zone.

54:00>> Parker Washington, though, is a

54:02different conversation. This is Parker

54:03Washington's last month.

54:05>> And by the way, these are it's pretty

54:06similar to to Concage. It's just not

54:09quite as bad in that third game, but

54:10>> five for 83 and a touchdown on six

54:12targets for 19.3 fantasy points. Huge

54:15week one, seven for 98 on 12 targets in

54:17week two for 16.8 fantasy points. And

54:20then week three, three for 40, a

54:22touchdown, but only five targets, 13

54:24fantasy points. And then week four, one

54:26catch for seven yards on three.

54:27>> Exact same stat line as Don.

54:29>> So he's had six or fewer Parker

54:31Washington, six or fewer targets in

54:33three of his four games. That's not like

54:34the strong end wide receiver too that

54:37we've kind of been billing him as in

54:38this offense.

54:39>> Okay. So I think there are a couple of

54:41ways to qualify this.

54:42>> Yeah. Why why is this happening?

54:44>> Well, so the first two games of the

54:45season for Jacksonville actually were

54:47competitive. Well, the first, you know,

54:48like they had to throw the ball a little

54:50bit, especially in that second game

54:51against Denver.

54:52>> Um, third game against the Patriots,

54:54they whacked the Patriots 35 to6.

54:56>> Yep.

54:57>> He scores a touchdown, but there was

54:59also a sequence where, if my memory has

55:01this playbyplay totally correct, it was

55:04in the like like deep goal line, like

55:07five yard line, target for Parker

55:10Washington, incomplete pass. Target for

55:12Parker Washington, incomplete pass.

55:15Target for Parker Washington, touchdown.

55:17Called back because of penalty. Very

55:20next play, target for car Parker

55:22Washington, touchdown. He scores last

55:25week. Um, so that that like those five

55:27targets in a game in which the Patriots

55:29were getting like there just wasn't that

55:31much volume.

55:32>> Yep. Trevor Lawrence threw 23 passes

55:34last week and Parker Washington, this

55:37wouldn't have totally changed the

55:38narrative, but at the end of the game,

55:40it was a seven-yard catch that he was

55:42like half an inch away from turning into

55:44a 40 yard catch.

55:46>> Um,

55:48some of the first read stuff, if you buy

55:50into first read metrics, is really

55:52strong for Parker Washington.

55:54>> Trevor Lawrence is playing awesome.

55:56Parker Washington is awesome. And I

55:58think Mike, you don't you mentioned this

56:00on Monday. He got DJ Turner at this

56:02point.

56:02>> Yeah, half of his routes were against DJ

56:04Turner. They had Turner shadowing him

56:05and all of his I believe 100% of his

56:07perimeter routes were against Turner.

56:08>> So you I think I feel pretty good about

56:10Parker still.

56:11>> Me too. 13 plus in three games so far.

56:13He is a 26% target share. Offense is

56:16very good to your point. I mean, by the

56:18way, they're playing the Eagles this

56:19week. They've allowed 19 plus fantasy

56:21points to three different receivers in

56:23their last two games. So it's, you know,

56:25people have been product or receivers

56:26have been productive against that

56:28defense recently. So, not really

56:30sweating this one too much.

56:31>> Which one would you rather have rest of

56:32the season, George Pickkins or Parker

56:34Washington?

56:35>> Probably still Pickkins. Ah, man. That's

56:37close. I kind of want to look at the

56:39projections on

56:40>> is so I offer more upside in case of

56:44potential injury to a teammate. Yeah,

56:46right.

56:48>> Parker Washington is just I still think

56:51the clear wide receiver one of his

56:52squad. It's just is there as much upside

56:54to his game as George Pickkins

56:55potentially has.

56:56>> Washington a little bit ahead. 17 and

56:5822.

57:00>> I'm receiver 17.

57:01>> 17th and 22nd in the projections going

57:03forward. Um,

57:04>> yeah. I mean, and by the way, I'm still

57:06optimistic about Pickkins.

57:08>> I still think he'll be startable. I

57:10think they're both f I think they're

57:11both wide receiver twos, but

57:12>> I'm buying on on Washington a little

57:14more.

57:15>> Pickins has started slow. If he had just

57:16found the end zone in one of these

57:17games, I think it would feel different

57:19when you look at this box score, and

57:20that's going to eventually come to

57:21fruition.

57:22>> So, I here's a I think a way of

57:23describing um the difference. Here's an

57:26important dynamic in play here for these

57:28two guys specifically is would you say

57:31you're more frustrated or concerned?

57:33>> Frustrated.

57:34>> Right. And it's because it sounded like

57:36a little bit more of concern on Parker

57:38from you and a little bit more

57:39frustrated.

57:39>> That's a good segment idea.

57:41>> Frustrated or concerned.

57:42>> Do you get what I mean though? Like

57:43>> I I'm not I'm not concerned about

57:45Parker, but I wanted to walk through the

57:47exercise of his six targets, five

57:48targets, three targets, which is what we

57:50did based on how the game script worked

57:51out.

57:51>> Potential sell high.

57:52>> Uh no, I'm Parker Washington.

57:55>> All right. I would not sell high. I

57:56would hold I would hold Parker

57:57Washington. Got it.

57:58>> Yeah. I like that future segment idea

57:59right there. It's like I'm not mad, I'm

58:01disappointed. Yes. Like that.

58:02>> Exactly.

58:03>> You had that conversation with your

58:05parents growing up.

58:06>> I had to tell them a couple times. I was

58:08not mad but disappointed in them. Yeah,

58:09you're right. Field.

58:10>> You made me whack.

58:11>> Sorry, Mama Do.

58:12>> So, it actually did recently grows back.

58:14>> Oh my gosh, guys. I had no idea. It has

58:17to like go through the skin and then

58:18it's like all prickly. I'm like a little

58:20cactus. It's not fun. Well, you could

58:22just keep shaving it.

58:26You want us to wax it again for you?

58:27>> No, Michael.

58:28>> That's that Isn't there some cream

58:29called like nare? It like rubs off hair.

58:32>> It does. I got a feeling that if it just

58:34rubs the hair off, it might not be good

58:36for your body. And I do care about what

58:38I put into my body, guys. So, with that

58:39being said, thank you for hanging out

58:40with us. Uh, shout out to the smelling

58:43salts.

58:43>> Where'd you get those?

58:44>> I can't I don't know.

58:45>> Locals pharmacy.

58:46>> Yeah. All right.

58:47>> I think it was a farmers market. That's

58:49going to do it for us today, guys. Thank

58:50you for hanging out with us for Mike and

58:52Field. We'll be back tomorrow diving
