Week 5 Studs & Duds + Marv Trade Reactions! | Fantasy Football 2026 - Ep. 1991

0:06Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in.

0:29Oh, what a day it is. >> Why is this the day that Marv is getting on a plane and flying away, >> brother? There's so much happening. >> So much happening. It's a big day. >> We're recording an hour early. You're going to see this hit your feet. >> Are we putting it up early? Yeah, why not?

0:46>> Of course we are. >> What do you want to delay it? >> Mike, I know Mike's worried. Mike's like, "Ah, the [clears throat] people are going to want this every day." >> No, we could never do this every day. >> No. No way. We got to poop in the morning. >> Yeah, I haven't pooped. I haven't eaten

0:58breakfast. That's a good start to the show. Um, no. I mean, I I have this is the last day of my life, >> the last moment of my life where I am a person that didn't hit a hole in one. >> That's all I'm I've been telling you that I can hit a hole in one for what

1:16feels like a decade. >> Yeah. Okay. Uh, so here's what's going on. >> I will be a person that's hit one. This started on the spitballers which if you haven't listened spitballers podcast um where the idea that Andy could definitely hit a hole in one if he was given a day on one hole he could absolutely sink a hole in one

1:37>> facts >> I mean with facts you said you could do it right so far we are factually accurate >> and so we have put this to or we are about to put this to the test we have booked a hole on a golf course yeah >> till 1000 p.m. Only what did I say? Only God can stop it. And what's happening

1:55right now? >> It is pouring on the on the course at the moment. But >> otherwise, I would >> It's going to pass. By the time we get there, I think the weather will be nice and we will Mike and I will be enjoying ourselves. >> Yes. >> And you will be >> You won't enjoy yourself for that long.

2:11I'm going to make my prediction. >> Oh, okay. >> I'm going to I have 10 hours, right? [clears throat] About 10 hours. >> Write down how long you take. >> 12 hours. >> Uh >> 10 to 10. That's 12 hours. 12 hours to hit a hole. >> Jason, I want you to write down your prediction of how long it takes him to

2:25do it. >> Don't just put 12 down. >> I'm not. I swear. >> Um 4 hours and 7 minutes I'll hit a hole in mine. >> I wrote never. >> I put 77 >> hours. >> 77 hours. Yeah. Of straight hitting, not just like from now and you sleep during it. You need >> I mean I do there is some mathematical I

2:43do have some odds here. >> Like I did the analysis this week and we've got Chris Cash, our writer. He's a he's a numbers guy. Yeah. He he thought um it was possible. >> Now the odds of >> I think what did he give you like >> I think probably about way too high. It was like 30%

2:59>> something [clears throat] like that nonsense. >> Here's the thing that people don't understand. When you are an am a regular average golfer which is exactly what I am. The average handicap is 15. I'm like a 15 16. >> Oh man. Are you kidding me? >> Yeah. I know Jason. I'm so sorry. >> So above average. >> I am so above average.

3:17>> You are right. 15 is a dream. >> You're in the gifted program. Um, [laughter] but the odds on any random par three for an average golfer is 1 in 12,500. >> Okay. >> Per shot. >> Can you hit 12,500 shots today? >> No. The problem is is that number comes from just a random shot on random hole.

3:35I'm going to get to apply this incredible brain to the the slopes and the altitudes and the I get to hit it over and over again. >> Dial it in. >> I'm going to dial it in quite easily. Now, I'm not going to mention the fact that I was on a driving range the other day and got pretty sore in about 20

3:51minutes. So, >> I am going to be honest with you. >> You don't have to. >> I I'm looking I am looking forward >> to finding out if I'm rooting for you or not because I'm like right now I'm not sure >> if I want you to make it or not. And >> Oh, cuz you know how I'll be.

4:06>> Really? I definitely want him to make it. Oh, you do? >> Yes, of course I want I want my friend to succeed here. Thank you. I want it to happen. The point the point is what we said the reason this is happening is we >> I would like to sprout wings and fly far far away. >> We said he couldn't do it.

4:22>> So that's where I'm saying like you're rooting against yourself in a way. >> They uh one of our writers wrote in and said after 3 hours good luck grabbing the club. >> Yep. >> Not worried. >> Uh okay. >> I have a right-handed >> I do need breakfast. If you need to if you want to double glove I got you.

4:38>> I don't want to be on camera double gloving. >> Okay. [laughter] say that after 200 swings. >> What's What's wrong with the double gloving? >> Nothing. >> Nothing. Just >> Someone just won the PJ tour with double gloves. Okay. >> And I get made fun of. >> What's I don't >> It's just because it's not fashionable.

4:53You're supposed to only have a left-handed glove. >> Oh, okay. >> You did switch back to only one glove >> and I regretted it. >> Yeah, but why'd you do it? >> I did it because I thought I was hitting better with one glove. >> Oh, okay. But you were hitting just as bad. >> Just [laughter] as bad. Maybe worse. The

5:07The second glove was helping. Did I just get uh Did I just get turned into a blue like is the >> You sure did. >> Hold on. Go back to that camera. >> It We fixed it. >> Oh, no. It's still off. >> Oh, yeah. Cool. Well, go main camera. >> Just future. That's how you >> This is a fantasy football podcast. Uh

5:26it is not a golf podcast. We have our Monday pun reactions to the weekend. The injury list was insane. Just go into the weekend. We have a Marvin Harrison Jr. trade that broke in the weirdest way possible. >> So much to get to. >> We've got news. We've got studs and duds and we're doing it all right now.

5:41Starting with your reactions to the weekend with a little elegant Monday pund. I haven't even seen all of these

5:46this morning because it's been a crazy morning. But let's start with >> Isaiah. Definitely. Not [laughter] likely. Definitely. >> Start of the week. >> Or Parker Wington. >> I like that. >> Uh I'm taking mine Christian Hotson. >> Oh, and I'm taking mine Matthew Golden Ticket. >> How about Yalen Warren? >> Okay. There's a lot of Yays in here.

6:07Malik Yabers, >> Garrett Thrillson. >> Okay. >> Mike Evans Almighty. >> Boy, he is [music] the weirdest player. >> If you start him, he's great, but you never know. >> I know. His his body is deteriorating. I know. >> Uh, great May. >> And, uh, Jaden Manuals, of course. >> But they weren't all good. We knew this

6:25one was coming. Tyler, yuck. Or Tyler, what the shuck? >> That's the one. How about Won't Shipley? >> No. And Romeo, so >> RJ Hardley. Uh, no. Colston, bust land. Yeah. >> How about uh Scam Scataboo? >> Yeah. >> Uh, yeah. We got uh Got Nothing Taylor

6:47Let Down. >> Yeah, >> we're we're we're losing the names here. >> Uh, Omarian Hamp done. >> Oh, >> Jaylen Frod's quarterback >> with Boo Knicks. >> Yeah, >> I like that Justin Herbert cannot be on this list anymore. He >> No, because it's not there's nothing. It

7:08is what it is. It is what it is. >> Because when I'm thinking about Bo Nicks, I'm like, man, he is as bad as Justin Herbert has been. Justin Herbert, but that's assumed. He's Man, that division. >> Seriously, >> it's unstoppable. Football is freaking hilarious [laughter] because you have like that the AFC West

7:30was going to be like that is a premier division. Right. >> Are you Yeah. You're saying the way that the Broncos are playing. >> Yeah. Well, I'm saying like, yeah, the Broncos, you're like the victorious Broncos, >> the Chargers, you're like, "Okay, Chiefs. Chiefs Chiefs and Raiders." I'm saying like this is a surprise. And then you got the AFC North

7:50>> where I believe every team is above 500. >> Yeah, they I mean, yeah, it is. It is. And then you got the NFC East. >> Oh. >> Where all four teams played, two played each other, no one won. >> Yeah. No one won. That's incredible. >> At the end of that game, now I wasn't here with you guys.

8:08>> We got to talk about >> I was watching that with my son. >> I Cam Scataboo fumbles a play you just can't fumble. He would have been the story. >> First of all, rewind a little bit. You got to go back even further >> because Scataboo was not being used. >> That dude was bench. >> That was a game. That was a game where

8:24it was like >> if you had been using him, you'd be winning this game. Why has he not been on the field? Then when push comes to shove, they they they battle back in. They're in the game and they're like, "Okay, let's let's put the ball in Cam's hands." He dominates. He starts I mean, he was the reason they got into field

8:42goal range to win that game and then he fumbled. It was like, "OH, COME ON." He fumbles and then people in charge of this Washington franchise that is worth I don't know how many billion dollars. They don't understand how to manage the end. They don't understand how a clock a clock if

9:04it's running it just keeps moving >> and then like but there's ways to stop it >> in that are very defined in the rules. Listen, they had no idea how to handle this. >> So, what happened real quick if you didn't listen? This game went to overtime in part because Cam Scataboo fumbled and they couldn't kick. >> Well, that was in the Yeah, that was in

9:24Yes. [clears throat] Before >> the Giants should have won >> at that point. Then Washington should have won. >> Washington was in easy field goal range. >> Yes, >> they had a minute on the clock. No timeouts, but there's a minute. They run a play. They've got 40 seconds on the game. I mean this >> they the world is in their hands to just

9:42basically kick a field goal and >> just clock it. >> I mean listen >> game time ran out. >> Yeah. And it ran out. So they they're just kind of laxidasical in the in the huddle. 20 seconds on the clock. >> 17 16 15. They run a play. Jaden Daniels scrambles and just goes down

10:03>> and then gets up with three seconds. >> Runs when you go down though. >> Yeah, it does. didn't throw the ball away. Now listen, >> Dan Quinn, >> that was awful. You at least stood in front of a podium and took full responsibility. You fell down for your team. You took all arrows. >> You didn't blame your

10:20>> You deserve the arrows, but you took them. You stood 100%. >> Are you telling me that Lamar Jackson doesn't look at the clock >> and Lamar Jackson doesn't know what's going on in the game? >> Jaden Daniels took no responsibility and he said it starts at the top down. He's got to be Jane Daniels just kept saying

10:38I got to be better and Daniel's press conference. >> I just I got to be better. >> No, but he was like we got to be better. I mean honest honest to goodness I feel like his press conference was absolute nonsense. It was brutal. >> He uttered the line >> like it starts with me or whatever he

10:54said that was the most throwaway nonsense. Like his whole attitude that entire time was skirting blame. It's top that like it's it's other >> the tie was appropriate in that game. Both teams should have won and didn't couldn't do it on normal 99% chances to do it. >> So what what should have happened obviously he should have thrown the ball

11:14away. If you watch the wide receivers, the four wide receivers on the field. Yeah. Well, yes. That's what the play call should have been. The play call should have just been spike the ball, kick a field goal there. You don't have to worry about time on the clock. This is overtime. You should take this game. You just you

11:28just kick the ball. So Dan Quinn failed because it should have been spike the ball, take the field goal, but the call came in to run the clock down for no reason. It's overtime and throw the ball away. >> It was just crazy. >> And then he didn't throw the ball away. >> It was just like amateur hour. It was

11:45>> like he took a knee. >> Yeah. >> Which look, it made sense to me when I was watching I assumed they had a timeout. >> That was that was the first half. I know, but I was saying it's Washington. Yeah, it was >> it was with Washington.

12:00>> All right, let's get into the news.

12:05>> News and notes from around the league. >> Okay, we've got tons of it. Starting with the trade heard around the world with no destination. >> Boy, that didn't work out, did it? >> No, it's it's working right now. He's gone. >> Oh, BOY. YOU >> HE'S GONE. You played that drop when we

12:25drafted him and you're playing it when he leaves. The Cardinals >> where meeting changes overtime. >> Has it been finalized yet this morning? >> I I was reported yesterday Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans. Cardinals do get >> We didn't think it was possible, but they get a 2027 second and a sixth round pick. >> Texans get Marvin a seventh.

12:46>> It was rumored to be a 28 second from some team cuz this was the weirdest trade environment of all time where it's like there's a trade. Yeah, we can. >> He's definitely traded. Where is he going? >> I think I know what happened. >> It seems like it's obvious and maybe you know something else. It seems like the

13:03Texans are like, "We're going to do this if we win. It's the It's the Titans. >> They beat the Titans." >> Like, so we're going to win. It's the Titans. But let's hold off just in case just because if we go 0 and five. >> Yeah. This was So Marv is gone and the Cardinals. Look at some point. This is

13:20Let's translate this into fantasy football. At some point in time, we do we do dynasty drafts, rookie drafts all the time, and you make a pick and you make a selection like Royce Freeman, Mike, and yeah, >> you make a pick like that, >> third round stud, >> and everybody Broncos, draft capital is proportionate to potential. >> That is the way the NFL and fantasy

13:41players are going to look at it. >> Mhm. >> And you will always for a time being believe that a player is going to have the potential to fulfill their draft capital. Yeah, >> Cory Davis will have the potential to fulfill his draft capital and >> Blackman didn't but >> but but you basically that's baked into

14:01Marv now you need one team >> after three and a half years to believe that they're the fix for the player that's not separating, not getting targets, not delivering, not catching the football, >> looking lazy, not caring. Now some people say he sandbagged the first four games on purpose. This is a plan with his dad to get out of Arizona, which by

14:22the way, >> that would be a great plan. >> Great plan for all players. >> If you want to sandbag and get out of Arizona, I don't blame you. Great. Oh, but if you did do that, Marv, if you did that, freaking great job. You looked terrible. >> I mean, you you sand you were convincing. >> Oh, man. You are one of the best

14:41sandbaggers of all time. Now, I would have thought maybe you try to catch the ball the previous three years when it's targeted at you or like a tough catch to win a game, whatever. So, in my opinion, Marv is actually unredeemable as a superstar. I don't think he can do it. >> I completely agree. As a superstar,

14:58there is no chance that the team to look the Cardinals are a terrible organization and we have ruined plenty of of human beings by drafting them before. He's out of town and has an opportunity to really uh revamp his career. has an opportunity to be better. He's going to care more. >> He's going to be with his collegiate

15:17quarterback. >> Yeah. He's he's paired with his uh with CJ Stout who, you know, he played with in college and and so part of it was was genuinely effort and it was mental. The town hated Marv. He was in his head. He's, you know, a weak little Meowin Harrison. >> He has an opportunity to go out and show

15:36what he was in college, which was legitimately great. His route running in college, his production in college, Miss pick is what he was supposed to be >> and he's he's absolutely not good enough to get it done. >> Now, here's the thing. I am very interested >> in CJ Strad rest the season because Marv will help the passing game there. They

15:58have no running game to speak of. David Montgomery is now hurt. >> It might get better. >> It could get better. But I think they're gonna wa, you know, just put five wide and CJ Strad's gonna run this offense who, which he's been capable of doing this year so far. It's just wild. The Cardinals getting a second out of it.

16:14Congratulations. >> Second from an 0 and4 team. I guess one and four at that point. >> That's true. That's true. Which is also >> Dell is, you know, his practice window has opened up. So yeah, they're going to try to open it up. Honest to goodness, CJ Stout has looked pretty good this year. Ironic considering they're 0 and4.

16:32I would have thought if CJ Strad can just figure it out, this could be a Super Bowl contending team. And CJ Strad figured it out in their own four or they were >> the defense. De Mo Ryan's taking over the defensive play calling shut everything down yesterday. >> In every single dynasty league in the world. Yeah. I mean, [laughter] let's

16:47get another week under the belt. >> In every single Dynasty League in the world, the question is being had by everyone in the league. Should I try to trade for Marvin Harrison or if you have him, should I be trying to trade Marvin Harrison away? >> This could be a sell window for him. And it is. >> I

17:04>> Yeah, I I don't think you're gonna get superstardom. Nico is in I mean, infinitely better than he is, >> but you're going to get targets. This is what I was talking to you, Jason. We were talking on when we were golfing a beautiful golf course. Uh that >> 44 over, >> dude. Congratulations. >> Thank you. Thank you. [clears throat]

17:23But we were talking about the fact that like if you just targeted Marv 10 times a game in Arizona, you're going to have he's going to look a lot more like a good receiver. The numbers are going to be okay. He's going to get targets in Houston. That's going to happen. Whether he's worth anything in fantasy next to Nico Collins and stuff, I don't

17:43know. >> He will never be to the level of a T. Higgins >> or or >> T. Higgins is what I'm saying because that's like he's the the second wide receiver on the team. very good. That's the goal. The goal is, hey, we've got our T. Higgins to our Jamar Chase and he should go out there. He should catch a

17:59ton of touchdowns, which to be fair is the one thing Marvin Harrison has done so far in his career. He's caught plenty of touchdowns. So, I think they're hoping they get T. Higgins. [laughter] >> You didn't. >> Yeah. CJ Strad has three top 12 performances already this year. That matches the total from last year. He's looked good. Adding Harrison does not

18:16hurt him. Nope. So >> the big news for, you know, despite week one being not that great, this is a Michael Wilson like for fantasy football, you know, this is great for Michael Wilson. And everybody that's like, oh man, I guess he needed Marv on the field because Marv was off the field. We had a great tweet. We had a great tweet of

18:36like here's Michael Wilson without Marv on the field and it was a picture of Marv. >> There there's problems in Arizona though and we know this. One of the problems is you're going to have a transition to Carson Beck soon. Two and 15. That's Jacobe Brassett's record as a Cardinal quarterback. He looks amazing on scripted first drives. Looks like

18:52>> cheeks for the middle two quarters and then when the other when the defense moves to prevent, you gather a bunch of garbage. >> Yeah, that's all it is. I mean, if you look at his fourth quarter stats, he's amazing. [music] >> It is not because he's so clutch. He's got ice in his veins. He's a fourth

19:07quarter >> guy. Six scores. >> It's because the other team stopped playing. He's playing against backups or prevent. It's buns. The Cardinals are now moving to the We grew up in Arizona and they're now moving to the level that they were when I grew up, which is Garrison Hurst, Thomas Jones, players we drafted that were absolute booty here

19:27left to have near Hall of Fame careers. They are a disgrace. And you know, it's a gift for us in Arizona for them to make headlines because then we get to talk about how horrible ownership is and this team is. >> Yeah. We get to see how we ruin Jeremiah Love. uh which it seems like we're doing. All right. All signs point

19:46towards Caleb Williams returning in week six as quarterback of the Bears. That's probably good. >> He looked good in in like pregame warm-ups. >> Uh DJ Moore, >> yeah, >> is questionable with the shoulder for tonight's game. Monday Night Football. Josh Palmer ruled out. I imagine DJ Moore is actually going to go in this one, but he's always at a reinjury risk

20:04and leaving early risk. >> Yeah, I if you had DJ Moore and Keon Coleman, who are you starting tonight? >> That's a great question. I actually think if if DJ Moore is active, I would still start him. >> DJ Moore, >> I would. >> I think I'm on the other side. >> That's fine. Yeah. >> Because I I feel like

20:20>> if you needed five points guaranteed, I'd start Keon Coleman. >> Yeah. >> But if you needed 25, I might try DJ Moore out. >> Yeah, it's really tough. I mean, DJ Moore, he's played through this injury, right? He got injured. Here's what's funny. He got injured in week two, came back in week three right off the bat. 10

20:35targets, six for 67, had a very good game, and then got injured last week. So, it's either you can get 10 targets or he can reagravate. And Keon Coleman, >> yeah, it's it's not an easy one to know because we just don't know how, you know, severe it is. Let's take a quick break and get into more news.

20:58>> Injuries were the story going into the week. bunch of tough situations where guys were coming back from injury, playing through injury. Ashton Genty being one of them. That didn't work out. Trayvon Henderson left early with a right ankle injury, did not return. >> Dude, you we started this game thinking it was going to be him with no Raandre.

21:15And then Reandre is active and he got hurt. >> And Reandre scored before he got hurt. It is annoying. Um David Montgomery left early with a groin injury. They say he's going to miss multiple weeks. >> Butterfly stretch, man. >> Uh Will Shipley left early with a foot injury. multiple weeks due to a partial tear of his plantar fascia. That's

21:33painful. Will Shipley uh he's gone. Damen Pierce is now the sole running back. >> Yes, he is. >> Um >> that team has been devastating. They lost >> that game. >> The There were three games this week that seemed like they were over for the other team that >> I mean giving up a monster kick return.

21:57>> Was it Abdullah? >> It was Amir Abdullah. Oh my god. >> Da express that guy's career just keeps going. >> I know. It's unbelievable. >> He settled into what he is. >> Yeah. The commentators in that game literally were talking about I I >> the Eagles victory. >> They were talking about what this is means for the rest of the season for the

22:14Eagles. How the morale of the team that has been so bad now is is uplifted. They came, they battled through, they got a W. Whatever. >> Their morale was not uplifted. >> And their head coach is my fault. That's what he said and it was Will Shipley though miss in time. Uh Roman Wilson expected to miss a couple weeks after

22:34leaving early with a finger injury. If you look at the box score, a couple things for Pittsburgh. One, Rogers is playing great. >> He is. >> He's playing great football. Two, >> DK Maf sucks. >> Yeah, he does. Bad football. >> Pitman and Wilson are gone. >> As is Scorronic. >> Yeah. So, listen. Jeremy Bernard's gonna me. He's going to be a huge pickup this

22:55week. I already picked him up in a couple weeks cuz I just >> I I didn't believe necessarily that the Roman Wilson 30% snap count would be the most repeatable situation. The Muth got Super Luth also viable when more of these guys go down. Rogers is a he's a trust man. You listen to him talk about Jaylen Warren yesterday.

23:13>> If you would like to hear him say >> trust Jaylen Warren as well. >> If you want to talk >> he's very good. >> Like Rogers is not the most positive dude. >> But if you want to hear him like say nice things about somebody, go listen to him talk about Jaylen Warren for 10 minutes. He's not playing that great. I

23:25I I know. >> No, he's playing wonderful. >> He is not. >> No, I've watched these games. He's looked great. He's looked. >> He He has looked okay. But like this last week, he had 235 yards and three touchdowns. That's amazing for fantasy. That's great. But like he had an 80 yard dump off screen that Jaylen Warren took

23:41to the house. >> Three weeks in a row with three touchdowns. >> I I get it. >> Quarterback for three weeks. He's playing great. I've watched these games. 71% completion yesterday. >> He plays against Tampa Bay this week. Great matchup. Are you starting Aaron Rogers, Andy? >> And let's find out on that. >> One, I started him this week in a league

23:59and one because two, am I starting him in Tampa Bay after Tampa's defense played the way they did last week? No, I'm going to find somebody other than Aaron Rogers. But what I do in the future is not what he's done in the last three weeks, >> which has played great. >> I mean, you're talking about a 4651

24:18touchdown season over the last three weeks. I think that's pretty good. He I I completely agree that his his results have been awesome. >> I mean, he hadn't thrown for that many yards. [laughter] >> I mean, he hadn't thrown for that many yards in like five years, Jay. And he's thrown for that many yards in three straight weeks.

24:32>> Yeah. >> You're you're basically holding a dump off against him. [laughter] >> I remember I remember watching >> like he can't accumulate yards and touchdowns the rest of that drive if he doesn't run down. >> As I watched that game, I remember turning to Mike and being like, man, people are going to like >> So, you wanted to stand up against him.

24:48It was just I I think that how some of this is happening is I mean, hey, if it happens every week, great. I'm just not going to >> I'm not going to buy into it continuing. >> He has looked much better than last year. That's true. He's they're going down the field. They're actually attacking >> and that could be a McCarthy change.

25:07>> I would not have started and played him >> in a league ever last year under any circumstance and he was a spot start for me this week and it worked out. Quinn Sean Judkins was seen with a in in a boot. >> Yeah. >> With his right ankle. >> So, we're going to be talking big time.

25:23Um, >> we're gonna be talking big time waiver. >> That was the And that was the ankle that was the massive injury last year. I don't I don't know if that has an effect on it, like you know, a reagravation, but sucks that it's that one. >> Yeah. Casey Conpion, brutal hit, left with a concussion. Debo left with a

25:42hamstring. >> The weirdest injury. >> It looked like it was a concussion. the way he let go of the ball on the way to the ground. I didn't know it was a hamstring. >> Genuinely, it didn't seem like a hamstring. It didn't seem like he he didn't reach for anything. It looked like he got hit with a with a sleeping

25:56dart that you couldn't see and he just, [laughter] you know, >> maybe hamstrings hurt more now. >> Exactly. Three darts too much. Trey Harris the uh >> dude >> the last remaining wide receiver for the Chargers >> went down with a hamstring and was almost uninvolved before that. It was a lot of like

26:17>> Gadston and the running backs and >> I mean I am the shame this week and part of that is because my Green Goblin was that Justin Herbert in a game that I knew he'd have to pass a bunch would throw for 149 yards. >> He was under 100. >> Insane. >> I'm not sure if that's where he

26:35finished. He might have been >> 121. >> Okay. Yeah. The last drive, >> their next four games are on the road against the Chiefs, on the road against the Rams, at home against >> Oh my gosh. >> the Texans, and then on the road against Baltimore. At best, they could win one of those four games. >> So, you at best would be 1 and eight.

26:54>> Correct. >> I mean, I don't think Harbaugh is going to stick around. >> I think he's going to melt into the concrete. He can't handle losing like this. >> DJ Hawinson concussion. Kenyan Sadique concussion. Michael Pennock left with a rib injury >> and they left. >> I'm laughing at the rib injury. Laughing at the fact that Tua comes in for like

27:15>> what? Two plays. >> Mhm. >> And throws a a just disgusting game- ending interception. >> Unsurprisingly. >> I mean, >> it was impressive. Very very unserious. >> What we all knew was coming. >> Yeah. And you saw the face that uh was

27:30on the sideline of Michael Penn as he's walking onto the field with the game ending. And it was the same face that he

27:35had right behind him on the sideline early in the preseason. >> This guy's not a pro quarterback. [sighs] >> Can we talk about some studs? >> Yes, please. >> This week's fantasy stud muffins. >> We're back. I guess we're good. Hey, we figured it out. These looked so good for

27:56>> They're also three and two now. Uh Drake May 39.5 fantasy points >> which this is >> which how do you feel about this Al? You dropped him two weeks ago. You feel good? >> What what did I say when I dropped him? >> That he's going to have a real career resurgence. >> Somebody can pick him up now because

28:10he's about to blow up. >> Who's your quarterback now? >> Uh Jordan Love at the moment. >> Oh, that worked out. >> Yeah, it did. >> Jaden Daniels, Jared Goff, Jameus Winston, Jordan Love. >> We need good quarterback play. It's It's kind of fun to to dunk on the guy who was so great last year. You're like,

28:26"Well, I was just just We need Drake May to be good." So, this was this was a a few like wipe the sweat off your forehead. Like, thank goodness. >> Demario Douglas had two touchdowns from him. You know, you don't have Matt Holland right now. Dobsy didn't get it done. >> No, cuz my dude Kyle Williams got

28:43>> AJ Brown, I think, will he'll be so good in this offense, but we're still weeks away. They've got two games quick, I think, in the next like 10 days. And so, he won't be part of either of those. >> He might be back after that, though. >> Yes, I agree. And I I think the second half of the season will be good for him.

28:58>> That's a trade for target. Uh Jaden Daniels got it done with the rushing yardage. Nine for 103. [clears throat] Honestly, I didn't think he looked I thought he looked okay as a passer, but I thought the rushing totals, man, if you get anything like that, that's >> my my uh price picks line was 30 and a

29:14half. I triple. >> I would and Mike and I were both like >> like all the conversation like he's coming back. He's got a brace on the elbow. the the doctors out there are saying it's not a matter of if, it's when he reinjures the elbow. Yeah. And then they came out and said we're going to protect him and he's not going to run

29:29the football. So when you made that pick, Mike and I were like, "Thank you." Spoiler >> alert. And we were super when Jackson Dart comes back, he's going to run. Yeah. >> Because it's just that's that is who they are. >> Jared Goff had 271 and three with a rushing touchdown. Jason start of the week. And he could have had as many as

29:45he wanted. >> Yeah. [laughter] The Cardinals are so unbelievably bad at defense. I was thinking about this on the drive in. How great would it be if you spent your entire life, you are an offensive player, it doesn't matter if your skill position, you're an offensive lineman, whatever, and you get to the NFL and then you get to have a day against the

30:05Cardinals. >> You just get to play against like a JV on the way in. Yeah. I was like, that'd be so fun. I get to play against a JV team that can't possibly stop anything we do. >> They have two good defensive players and one went down in this game. >> Arl Ree. >> Oh. Oh, no. We got a running back.

30:21That's right. >> Okay. >> That's right. That's who we draft. >> We got We can't talk about the Cardinals anymore. Winston was hilarious because Winston played maybe the worst first half of football I've ever seen. >> I mean, just abysmal. And then he ends up with 326 and three and targets Malik Neighbors 20 times. So amazing. Jordan

30:39Love was >> pretty much perfect. >> Unbelievable. And I'll tell you what, I'm I'm I said this to Mike watching this game. Feel like the >> They figured it out. The rest of the league needs to watch this game and be like, "Oh, okay. So, just throw it deep every single play against the Bears." Like, the Bears defense has looked

30:55really good the last couple weeks. Apparently, they found their weakness. And that's all he did. It was just I I kept joking. Even Tucker had like a 49 yard. >> I kept joking. This was beforehand. So, the joke kept working great watching the game. I was like, "Every time Jordan Love drops back, he just goes, "Hey, check this out." [laughter]

31:13>> And then he just kept DOING IT. HEY, CHECK THIS OUT. BOOM. ALL THE WAY DOWN. I mean, it was just like and they didn't always work, but it was like I feel like he had 10 shots in a row that was like, "Hey, check this out. 40 yards." >> It's not that different from what Joe Burrow has success doing, which is if

31:28you have really good wide receivers like Christian Watson and Matthew Golden who high point balls and come down with contested catches like T. Higgins and Jamar Chase. If you chuck it, it works out a lot. What do you get? >> They don't have a lot of defenders down there. They've got one or two defenders down there. >> It It just It was a great game.

31:45>> That was really awesome. He looks so good. And I will say this, their >> Marshall and Lloyd. >> Yeah. >> Mike and I were like, you you got to think about it. >> Boom. >> Their offensive line looked significantly better, which coincides with they made transactions, right? They added more people off the street to their roster. They have tried to revamp

32:02this offensive line. It looked better. I I think the passing game for Jordan Love and and and the Packers is it's getting me hot and bothered rest. >> Well, and look, I it's going to be a slow burn, but Tucker Craft's going to get better and better and better. He had A big play down the field finally.

32:17>> But the coming back from an injury, man, you need some weeks. >> It was fun to watch. >> We get Dallas, DETROIT, CAROLINA. >> HEY, CHECK THIS OUT. [laughter] >> DUDE, that's all he's going to do next week. It's going to be so much fun. OH, DAK, CHECK THIS OUT. >> OH, MAN. HEY, LOOK. >> He's going to finish for like a 22 yards

32:35per attempt. >> Yeah, [laughter] >> he was so good. Um, Jacobe Brassette, if you are a quarterback facing the Lions, >> he was Trey McBride with the stinkiest. He was so bad. >> Oh, he was so bad. Cardinals. Well, this is the problem I have with the Michael Wilson, McBride, any of that. Carson Beck will become the starter at some

32:53point. Yeah, he will. >> And Carson Beck might be a better quarterback at some point than Buret, but he's not going to throw for as many yards, touchdowns. They're going to do something different. >> Um, but how did >> how slashy would they not start him next week? Well, the quote from Leaf, and I do I do

33:11actually get this. I do. >> What is the downside at this point? >> Nothing. You get to figure out if you have a quarterback. The season is toast. >> No. So, here's >> toast. They're lying to themselves if they were like, "We're going to we're going to battle back in the NFC West." >> The actual truth is you have a firsttime

33:27brand new head coach. His entire world is trying to win. He is not playing for a future of a Cardinals franchise three years from now. Yes, he is. Well, of course he got a huge deal long. I'm not saying he's he doesn't care about the Cardinals three years from now. He is he wants to win. He is disgusted with how

33:45they're playing. His goal is to win right now. And at the podium, what he talked about was he said, "I have too many things to fix to worry." Like Jacobe Brassette isn't one of them. He's got to fix a defense. Idiotic though. He's got to fix the defense. He's got to fix so many other things. He thinks

34:00Jacobe Brassette is is not the problem. And he is >> he's part of it. Everything is the problem. >> Yeah, I know. But I look, play your quarterbacks against the Lions. That's the head headline here. Brassette QB6. Bryce Young was QB5 against him. Gino was QB3. He hasn't looked like a QB3 against anybody else. Josh Allen was

34:16QB1. Shock was QB4. Play against the Lions. That's Stafford Knicks. Dak the next three weeks. >> I'm not playing B Knicks. >> Oh, I will. I will. Absolutely. >> Oh, sorry. That's the Cardinal schedule. [laughter] >> Oh. >> Uh, if Knicks does play against them in two weeks. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Uh Rogers. Oh, look at Rogers in the

34:34studs. uh three weeks in a row with 22 fantasy points. He only did that three times all of last year. Trevor Lawrence. >> Only because of his stats though, Amy. >> Only due to his stats. >> Only Only the outcome of the stats. >> Okay, that's a good point, Mike. >> When you get the ball around the goal

34:48line, he can throw a goal line touchdown and you can throw a screen for 80 yards. You're really good. >> Wait, did you just say throwing a goal line touchdown as a bad thing? >> I'm just saying he >> This is so weird. Jason, >> I'm going to go rewatch the tape. I'm going to go rewatch the tape. I mean, if

35:02you three weeks, three touchdowns a week playing good football. Malik Willis ends up on this list because the Bengals decided to give up two garbage time touchdowns and a bunch of rushing yards to him at the end of the game. But they're they were also a great defense to play. >> Oh, dude. >> Target Miami every week.

35:20>> We were looking at the Cardinal schedule talking about target the the Lions. Now I'm looking at the Lions schedule

35:25>> so we can actually know who they're playing. >> Yeah, they go to buy, unfortunately. But then after that, >> it's the Packers. You tell me Jordan Love gets Dak AND THEN CHECK THIS OUT. >> That's awesome. >> Uh the running backs, uh he deserves a break, doesn't he? Jir Gibbs. Uh and he got stuffed on the goal line

35:43twice and lost a touchdown. 35.2 fantasy points. They go to buy. >> He is unstoppable. >> He did say he wants to he has the most touchdowns before 25 years old in NFL history. He says he wants to break >> LT's record. LT32 champ record. I personally want him to break that. >> Um, do you find that funny back there,

36:03Al? >> Yeah. Bean Robinson. >> I just love the guy. >> For the man, >> for the dude. >> Bean Robinson is the best running back in the NFL. I believe he looks outstanding and unfathomably good. He's been so good for for fantasy football. And it it's not close between him and

36:23Gibbs. It's not even like like Gibbs for Fantasy is doing what LT like for those of us old enough who've played fantasy long enough to remember the LT year or years. That's what that's where we are with Gibbs. >> Um Jaylen Warren was number two on the week was unstoppable. Bucky Irving number three on the week. >> Nice.

36:44>> Love that guy. Derrick Henry, >> 20 fantasy points. >> Snuck in with their receiving touchdown. >> And Brilland Allen with 18.1. A late touchdown. brought it over the top. Um, like I said, the Lions go into the by-week. >> Jaylen Warren though has turned into a monster and um, there's no, you know, I know Rico got hurt.

37:04>> We are now at the point of of confidence with Aaron Rodgers loving Jaylen Warren. He's been slippery. He never goes down on the first touch, >> which it the the Rico news is they said he was very close to playing this week, so I would fully expect him back. It should just stay the Jaylen Warren show.

37:22>> It should be good. >> Six for >> It's not going to. >> Yeah. I I don't know. No, I don't think it's going to. >> I think that the coach is going to want to involve >> I completely am on the other side. >> I I told Mike I don't know threearters of the way through. Obviously, we

37:37watched very different games here for the Steelers, but I I was just like >> Jason [laughter] did. >> I I did. >> He had a filter on his TV. I uh I was like Jaylen Warren feels like that guy where everyone who has him in in leagues every year this happens like you're undefeated or you're one of the best in

37:53the leagues you're one of the highest scoring teams cuz you had an unexpected fantasy superstar and you're going to make the playoffs and then he's not going to be what he was now at that point >> that's look I agree the fact he won't get 97% of snaps that's not going to happen >> he I mean he should he's so dog on

38:11>> he will get he will get he'll get the majority that 80 yard reception is like, "Oh, that's cool." For Aaron Rogers, he also had 101 rushing it. It's like every four or five plays he just no one tackles him and he breaks out of the pile and run. So good. But I do think when back like I guess my point is

38:29>> if and and you know obviously Andy you would be on the other side based on how good he's been and and if he gets the work you should be on the other side. To me I feel like he's a trade high candidate. If I can actually maximize if I can get someone who's like I need a

38:43superstar running back because that's what he has looked like recently. I would try to capitalize. >> I think part of it is the fact that like if Rico had been playing well [clears throat] >> in his two games, I would I would be of a different opinion. He was like two a carry. Yeah. I mean he was garbage. Uh

38:57>> but wasn't Warren bad during the time that like >> Yeah. Neither of them was getting it done. >> Um Aaron Jones, Raandre, CMC Swift, Marshon Lloyd with the two touchdowns. If you could unload Marshon Lloyd on two touchdowns, that could be a moment for you. >> The the CMC utilization was obnoxious. >> He pretty much like

39:16>> it was very low. >> Almost all his work, all his fantasy production was first half >> and like he was 11 he had 11 carries. He had a rushing touchdown. Then he had three targets. And this was a team that they were they were losing wide receivers on basically every single play. And McAffrey only got three

39:32targets. I It was It was really weird. >> Um Yeah. Yeah, it was. DeAndre Swift only 43 rushing yards. They were not in a position to run the football at all. They were down and down big. We'll take another quick break and jump into white outs. This message is brought to you by Apple

41:34[music] >> Christian Watson. >> Oh, that guy. >> Parker Washington, Malik Neighbors, George Pickkins, Mike Evans, your top five at the position this week. Eight target, six for one, 43 and two for Watson. >> He has been a reliable deep ball player for his entire career and now he's

41:54healthy and >> and he also had one of the catches of the week. I mean, the one of his bomb touchdowns, which he had two, was incredible. I I I didn't really even understand like watching it live, I was like, "Wait, how did where did the ball go?" He just mos the guy went over, caught it off of his back, and uh he's

42:12he's been fantastic. The the upcoming schedule, as we just uh said, for Jordan Love, >> feeling good. We're feeling good. Dallas and Detroit. I mean, literally those are number one and number two in whichever order you want of teams you'd like to face, right? >> Well, it and what's crazy is so Watson is continuing his barrage of touchdowns.

42:33He has two top 10 finishes in the last three weeks. You know who else does? >> Matthew Golden. Yeah. Two top 10 finishes. Golden's on pace for 81 for 1350 and seven. Yeah. >> He's just hiding in the shadow of Watson doing pretty much the same stuff. >> He's doing the same stuff. He's just not catching the touchdowns, which is

42:51>> I think that's how it will be. >> It's a big part of it. Yeah. Uh I mean, Christian Watson scored in all but one game this year, >> but uh both those guys have been I mean, look, the consolidation of targets >> and like I said, Craft was involved again. >> It it's looking good for the receivers

43:06there in the matchups coming up. Parker Washington made two incredible qu catches in this game. The last one was unbelievable. Six for one, 24-2. You love to see it. And then 20 targets from a league neighbors. No, it's only 11 catches because it's Winston. >> That's all right. >> But uh 11 for one, 21 and one. >> He still has the second most the last

43:26two weeks neighbors first in routes run, first in targets, first in receiving yards, second in receptions, and second in receiving touchdowns. So he's he was sore. Uh and you know, we were worried about it, but seems like he's okay. Yeah, that that was a game where at at one point I was pretty sure they

43:47were going to pull Winston. Like he was playing so poorly. I was like, "We're going to see JJ." >> Well, they kept pulling Winston for a play at a time. It was so weird. >> Dude, what is their plan? >> What is their the plan? >> Get that deck cards cuz it's Matt Naggie. Okay. He >> You are right.

44:03>> Yeah. Oh, let's bring in let's bring in nine or 18. >> We're going to trade. We're going to tra we need some quarterback help. Let's go get JJ McCarthy. will be the night. >> Let's [laughter] go get Yes, he was sitting in the rain. Uh cuz he knew what was about to happen to him >> with a hoodie on.

44:18>> He So they trade for a project quarterback and then they're playing >> Well, they got to get him work >> is we're going to get him in and we're just going to run trick plays with him where he's running the ball so he can get exploded. >> Your backup quarterback. This is your plan. >> Well, they don't want to explode their

44:35starter. I mean, that makes sense. Matt, >> what are you doing? Matt Naggie is a joke, but it's fun right now that the that the Giants can >> listen. Listen, Siri, Dan Quinn, Matt Naggie. >> Yeah, >> these guys are not that much smarter than us. >> No, I >> to be a coach. To be a coach, you just

44:54have to put on the uniform. >> You just have to like >> That's such a disrespectful thing to the good coaches. But the bad ones >> The bad ones just keep getting jobs. >> I would have spiked that ball. That's all I'm saying. [laughter] First of all, Jaden, I would have spiked that ball. >> Yeah, >> because the clock was running out. You

45:11see, >> put the Madden kid in. >> I know. >> Good lord, people. How it's >> The Madden Kid would be dominant in late game situations. >> We know how to manage a clock, >> man. Dan Quinn's reaction. The video >> slamming the taking his headset off and slamming it to the ground was delicious. >> It just I mean, it really it really

45:30really was not his fault. It was not Dan Quinn's fault. >> I mean, yeah. Yeah, it is. It was partly his fault. >> You call in a spike. The play is a spike, >> but he's not the play caller. He's not He's not even an offensive guy. Like >> you are the head coach. >> You're 100% responsible.

45:45>> You can always override your off. You can be like Spike here. >> Of course you can. But at the same time, you don't in that situation assume that you would need to say that to an offensive coordinator in the NFL. You don't need to go like make sure you snap the ball and and spike it like of like I

46:05don't know man. >> Um Mike Evans was awesome again. >> Seven for 113 and one and always hurt. >> Also had the funniest moment of all time when he checked the back of Dig's jersey which was amazing. >> Awesome. >> But every time he would catch the ball >> and stand up you his face was like >> this man is in agony. If he plays play

46:26him. >> Dear Douglas two touchdowns for the Patriots. Kyle Williams wide open >> three for 91 and one. I I had to pivot off of the Marv uh price picks. Kyle Williams was like I was typing it in as my pivot and I swed it to like a stupid Boone Melton one. >> Yeah. >> And I should have stuck with Kyle

46:42Williams. >> Uh JSN great as always. Garrett Wilson JMO start of the week baby. That felt real bad when he was like the Cardinals. It's funny the Cardinals made the Lions go three and out three consecutive times. It was the first time since 2016 or something the Cardinals had any like

47:00stopped somebody three straight times and then it was all wheels up. JO almost had a third one. Two touchdowns in this one. >> That was the story for him. >> Uh tight ends Isaiah likely Brock Bowers who is unstoppable. Brock Bowers is going to be on so many championship rosters. It's >> hard to imagine. I guess the only real

47:18>> he's great. The only real fear there is what happened at the end of that game, >> which you remember I was not on the team team Raiders this week. I did not think it was going to happen >> and it didn't in a big way, but Mendoza took over >> and so later in the season if things

47:34start to go sour for them. That's your risk with Bowowers. But Frymuth, I think he's a pickup because of the injuries on the wide receiver core for the Steelers. >> Tyler Warren with 18 points and Sam Laaporta has been unbelievable. Leaporta was my start of the week as well, but every week he is just, it's really hard

47:51to account for the Lions skill players, Almanra, Jameson Williams, and and Gibbs. And every week, Leaporta is just a play here, play there. Fakes a block, breaks into the wide open. I mean, did you realize this is the best the this is statistically the best offense through five weeks for the Lions in history?

48:11Yeah. So, the blob fish now, he got to play against his old team. >> Yeah. But >> putting up 45 against us, uh, >> he probably was very happy. That helps. Congratulations. >> Yeah. >> All right. Uh, Trey McBride with the beastly touchdown at the end of the game. And Jason, who's the other guy from Arizona that scored twice?

48:27>> Oh, Tegan. >> What's the last name? >> Told I don't know. >> Never heard of this guy. And no one Do you know it? >> Keeriano. >> Should have looked into that. >> Yeah, I I don't know. >> I was trying to

48:42>> You got two touchdowns. No, I I definitely know. >> All right, let's talk about >> like the trade. I just can't.

48:48>> Yeah, I just ask me tomorrow. I'll tell you later. Just out of curiosity, statistically, would you say he played well? That guy? >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay. Just making sure. All right, duds. >> Pooped in his big boy pants. >> They're They're really Look, you knew [laughter] >> we knew this. >> Well, you knew the matchup was bad, but

49:08there's there's a difference between bad matchup and scoring one fantasy point. Correct. And Tyler Shuck went 16 for 25 for 96. If you had Olve, it killed you. Jawansson, it killed you. Everybody, it killed you. >> No one should have been starting him. Thankfully, I think most people didn't. We We have been the most pro-Shuck pot around. And And we

49:26>> Sunday Live, I was like, >> absolutely not starting. >> Read that third bullet point we wrote under there, though. >> Yeah. So, Shuck's pressure rate since losing their left tackle, >> 49% of 50%. That is un pressure. Tom Brady will not survive this. >> No. But this was also the Minnesota Vikings defense. And I I saw a stat. So

49:47it's so funny to me and and obviously we aren't as smart as these uh this guy's in charge. >> So Brian Flores, his defense has been unbelievable. He's he's blitzing on over 70% of plays, which is outrageously high. Number one in the NFL. This week it there was a point in the game where

50:08he was blitzing on over 90% of plays and it got me thinking what >> what about 100%. >> Why don't we just blitz more NFL? Like I No, I get like Drew Brees going to beat the blitz. But it's like okay but we're talking all about Brian Flores's defense as like what a mastermind. What a m is

50:30like he's just he's just blitzing. >> Well, there's a lot to it. like the DBs. You have to have clamp DBs. Byron Murphy's amazing. You have you also have to like the blitzes come out of confusing coverages. If you watch that game, >> there are multiple plays where guys are handing players off. You don't know who's coming. He he that's his defense

50:46is confusion. >> He confuses young quarterbacks, old quarterbacks, all of them. But a young quarterback especially doesn't they've never seen this before. >> And so yeah, he's just masterful. He's probably the best assistant >> out there right now on any team. favorite team. My favorite team to be on by is Minnesota

51:06>> because you don't want it to affect the fantasy. The Vikings are absolute shutdown. >> Yeah, that's that's a fair point. It ruins everything. Dak, uh first bad game for Brock Purie after he took the lead for MVP voting. Um threw threw an ugly pick in this one. Two touchdowns, only 189 yards. Um

51:26so yeah, I you know, Dak was Dak was fine. and he just had the two picks. Bo Nicks, I whiffed on that one. I thought it would be good against LA. He was not good. It's not Jason, you made this comment like maybe it wasn't Davis Webb problem. Maybe it's not play calling. >> Yeah, it it seems like it's a Bick's

51:43problem. He's looked flat out terrible. He's playing against Seattle this this week. Gross. >> I feel like both of the Broncos and the Chargers like I'm just done >> Yeah. >> projecting any sort of success. This is why this is why I have been I have not been confident in Wadd because they don't know what's going to happen any

52:03week. >> They they will definitely have games where you're like, "Oh, that was the Jaylen Wadd week. That was sweet. I hope you played him that week." Um for those two rosters. I'm just like, >> so through through >> I'm going to just I don't care. I'm not going to play those guys. >> Through five weeks, Jaylen Waddle is the

52:18wide receiver 36. He's been startable basically one week. >> He is getting forgiven. Like Herbert is just completely I mean we he's broken, the Chargers are broken. Everyone is done with them. I don't think people are done with the Broncos yet, but they are just as bad on offense. They're get they're being forgiven because they're three and two.

52:38They're winning games. The the only losses that they have is against the 49ers and the and the Chiefs both on the road. >> Did you hear the petition the league is doing? They're actually considering removing all victories against the Chargers for all teams. That would be

52:52freaking awesome for us Cardinal fans. >> That's how bad That's how bad the Chargers are. The Cardinals beat you [laughter] >> handedly like beat the crap out of you. >> Running back duds. Chase Brown. >> Yeah. >> Jeremiah Love 12 for 22 looked awful. Tyler Algier didn't help at all. Cam Scataboo looked awful until about three

53:14plays of overtime. That's kind of a weird scary one as well. I I don't know if it's coming off of injury. Um those three plays look great. >> He was late in the game. This is a rainy game where they talked about like the the before the game it was he's going to get a ton of workload and I don't know

53:29what happened. Um obviously he fumbled at the end but he wasn't pre they didn't know that was going to happen. It seemed like he was benched or injured or something. I kept asking Mike. I was like >> I was searching social media. >> We were searching and searching. He didn't play forever and and then >> you see his uh John Dagel posting the

53:46>> RB share since Naji was active. I haven't seen it. >> It's gone from 70% to 66 to 57. So, it's gone down every week. >> It It was wild. I I when he got back in the game, I was like, "Oh, no." >> Because the hope was he was injured because otherwise they were choosing to not

54:03>> basically he basically won them the game then lost them the game. >> Yeah. >> Because the fumble's going to come back. I mean, that is not a good look. >> Um Chimera was terrible. Omarin Hampton 14 for 33. The highlight play of that game was Kamani Videll. Hampton was >> Hampton was actually bad. >> He He was bad. The utilization is worse.

54:24I I can you you could point to the 14 carries and be like, "Okay, >> this is his worst game of the year. Statistically, >> he led the team, which I know, [laughter] >> he led the team in rushing attempts by a good margin, but snap-wise, utilization wise, he is I mean, I I said it last week. This is not going this three-way

54:42time share is not going away, at least while McDaniel still has a job." Well, it's leading them to lots of Oh, wait. >> Yeah, it's not working. >> It's funny though because you can't really I was going to say you can't really argue for Hampton on a 14 for 33 week. No. >> RJ Harvey Mike. Uh >> you finally GOT IN.

55:00>> I ABANDONED MY BOY. >> You did. [laughter] >> I abandoned my son. >> Do this for 86. >> I hate them life. >> This is why you have the Broncos. >> You have been so pro. >> I ABANDONED MY BOYS. so probab >> and no one on >> I hate RJ Harvey >> has been more anti RJ Harvey than me

55:20>> and I waved the flag I said fine this is

55:23what we're doing >> and he got one target >> and he went from 10 targets to one target I'm done with this >> seven rushing attempts to three rushing I will support Dobbins in the shadows >> yes >> just believe I always love him >> uh Chris Olive four for 46 this was a shock problem this was

55:40>> a Minnesota problem >> yeah it was a Minnesota problem oh Dunay and Burton both on on the Duds list. They couldn't figure out the quarterback position this week. >> Agent. So, >> seems like we're going to finally figure out what the Bears offense >> any week now. Just give me a couple more weeks to gather the data.

55:56>> Wadd five targets, two for 19. I just I would try to trade Wadd because you don't know when you can play him. >> Yeah, >> that's the problem. And he's a big name, so you might sell somebody on him. Michael Wilson, seven targets, four for 30. >> That one made no sense. There there were some comments about now you'll get to

56:12enjoy being the sacrificial X in the offense, but it was really just, you know, he had seven targets. >> I think he's going to be >> Jacob Brousett's not good. I I I have I think Michael Wilson for the most part will be great because the targets will be there, but the fact that this is a possibility for Brassette to look that

56:30bad, for the Cardinals to be that bad, >> it's two weeks, Rams and the Denver Broncos. >> I mean, those are not good. Not easy. >> After that, >> after that you get Dallas, but that's two weeks, man. >> Yeah. >> DK Mechaf, three catches for 12 yards and also fumbled. >> Um, I watched two of the catches. You

56:47know what they were? Two catches were backto-back plays, screen right, screen left. So, line of scrimmage passes. >> They just wanted to remind him. >> Other than that, he had one catch for like five yards and a fumble. You'd think that losing, you know, Roman Wilson and Michael Pitman would benefit him, but uh trust levels are low.

57:06>> Josh DS, it's not been happening. It sucks. >> So Jeremy Bernard, I didn't realize I knew he had a good game, but 80 yards, >> he led the team in targets. >> Yeah, he had a great game. And uh fantastic. >> Oh, no. I didn't even see the stat line for Carnell Tate. >> Yeah, it was terrible that I mean Cam

57:26Ward >> Oh, he's so dumb. is watching the press conference of Cam Ward afterwards. The the guys asking the questions, they're a little bit rude asking him, you know, so are you used to losing now? You know, whatever. >> You don't have to be mean like that. >> If you're going to be mean, just be

57:46mean. You don't got to veil this thing. Come to to the to the to the press conference and be like, you do respond you [laughter] exactly, Mike. I want someone to do that. Cam Ward, I think you suck. What do you think? Like, just go ahead and say the truth, but also he is he stinks. Uh, Carnell Tate

58:06had a pretty open touchdown that he was missed on on one of his five targets, but six yards on a car. >> There's a there's a reliable unreliable scale here. And right now, Carnell Tate, Jaylen Wadd, any of the wide receivers for the Bears, DK Metap, they're all in the unreliable category. Dos apparently

58:26is too with one catch in a game. >> Dos got a cool touchdown. I watched it. Number 87 for the Packers. Yeah. [laughter] >> It's like I refuse to believe that's not Dobs. >> Um Lad Maki never played, but he was active. >> What was funny is he didn't play. We heard and and I >> I reported he was going to be inactive.

58:46Absolutely. Cuz he was. >> Thank you. All the all the talk was he was he was not going to be active and then it turns out they had to have like enough players active because they have lost so many I mean we we make a lot about the 49ers losing players because they've got a substation but um the Chargers have been

59:10>> their offense they have nobody left. their offensive line, their wide receiver core. >> I mean, Trey Harris was the wide receiver one. He got hurt. >> Yeah, he was. >> And Trey Harris was their wide receiver three. Now you're out of options. They are doomed. >> They are doomed. >> Like doomed is the it's it's a an

59:23appropriate word for them. Doomed. >> And they're really doomed because they have Justin Herbert. They're they're going to have a pick where you could maybe look at replacing him and they're going to be like, "No way." >> Well, I don't think it's I mean, oh, I almost said the line the famous Herbert line that I don't think it's his

59:38problem. But when you don't have you don't have your center, you don't have both your tackles, you don't have five wide receivers, you don't have your top two tight ends. >> Yeah. It's not it's not really Herbert's fault alone. It's everything. >> It's it it is. >> And he doesn't need to be replaced. No, >> he doesn't.

59:52>> If Jeremiah Smith joins that team and a new head coach and a new offensive coordinator, you can believe again. >> It's so tough because he is not a bad quarterback and it feels so stupid. Yeah, it's a it's a it's a snowball effect right now where he is playing terrible football >> trying to help a team that has no hope

1:00:11that is doomed. >> Uh I saw um I saw a comment from uh Charge, our good friend of the show, Paul Charing. He was like, "How much money would the Chargers have to pay for the Vikings to take the rest of this contract?" >> I would be 1,000% in if you sent Justin

1:00:30Herbert to the Minnesota Vikings. >> That's it. Yeah. Unless unless everything they'd win the Super Bowl. >> Well, or or the cursed travels because he is a cursed man. And uh wow. >> Speaking of curses, Coulson Lovelin two for 19. >> Target share by week. Uh not good. >> No.

1:00:51>> Um is this just going to be a whiff or are we waiting for this Caleb return to to save us? >> I I am very not happy. That is the wrong word. But just like I accept it. This is a massive loss of I thought Lovelin was going to be it. Very, very wrong. By the end of the year, we could have some sort

1:01:10of redemption tour. But it's like I'm not saying like I'm not I'm not tripling down saying go trade for him. Like it's going to happen. There's players that are that are still >> bad right now that I would I'm be like, "Nope, I'm still in. I'm still in." >> The question that everybody who drafted him has is like, "Do I drop it? Do I do

1:01:30I do can I drop him? It's so hard to imagine dropping. >> I personally would not drop him because there's no Caleb. >> Yeah, when we had Caleb, I mean, it's it feels like a lot of excuses, but >> it's it's tough if you're if you're the if you are the manager of Coulson Loveland. I mean, Elijah Higgins has

1:01:53more points than him on the year. Nate Atkins, >> what about that guy couldn't pronounce for the Cardinals? That might be more too >> probably. >> Uh George KD, Fannon, and Jawan Johnson. Johnson with the Minnesota game. Fannon, that one's unfortunate. And then KD just had a down game. >> Fannon was it like that was a real

1:02:12sloppy rainy game. The the Jets Browns. >> Yeah. And and and KD uh it came out like right before the game that he was very ill. >> We had another member of the the armed services. >> Oh, Major. >> Major sickness showed up. Al said he's in the same battalion as Major soreness. >> Yeah, general soreness. >> Oh, general soreness. That's right.

1:02:33>> Don't shoot. >> No, I >> was it major sickness or general sickness? >> I don't I don't remember the major. It was major sickness. >> Yeah. So, we got general soreness and major sickness. >> I haven't been in the armed forces. [laughter] Uh is ma majors or general sickness? >> General is at the top. >> No, I know.

1:02:48>> I can't wait to find out about lieutenant, you know. [laughter] >> Oh, yeah. >> Lieutenant ankle or something. >> Yeah. try again. Uh >> it's got to be more generic. >> Yeah, I mean this is a whole this is a whole order of operations here. But uh that is going to do it for today's episode. Waiver show tomorrow. Tomorrow

1:03:06will be the first day I do a show as somebody that's hit a hole in one, >> which is like it's just exciting to think about >> tomorrow what my attitude will be. >> You are going to be on this microphone. Here's the intro. Are you ready? [laughter] [groaning and screaming] >> Welcome in. >> You're going to be so sore

1:03:22>> from two hours of hitting before I hit my whole one. I don't know why we get sore for that. Um, we got a fantasy draft redo on Wednesday.
