Week 4 Matchups + Start/Sits, Wheel of Shame! | Fantasy Football 2026 - Ep. 1985

0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

0:22Welcome in.

0:24$100 richer.

0:31You and me both, brother.

0:32Yeah, well.

0:35Welcome in.

0:35Friday, October 2nd.

0:37Andy, Mike, and Jason, the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.

0:40What a game, though.

0:41It was a great game.

0:42It was a great game.

0:42It was.

0:43I mean, we did not expect a Browns-Steelers great game.

0:46I'm going to tell you a secret.

0:47I don't always watch every minute of every game.

0:51You don't.

0:52But I did watch every minute of last night's game.

0:53That's.

0:55To see the angriest quarterback on earth.

0:57Oh, man.

0:58With the angriest head coach on earth.

1:00What a delight he is.

1:01There was incredible action.

1:03Jason, I believe, conceded.

1:07Oh, he could have.

1:07It was real early.

1:09After the first quarter?

1:09No, no, no.

1:10So, the Steelers scored first.

1:12And then the Browns scored.

1:12It was a three and out.

1:14And then the longest drive in the history of the world.

1:18So, then the Browns, they scored.

1:20And when the second Browns score happened, Jason sent me $100 right then.

1:23I knew very.

1:24And then, I think, hedged his bet.

1:26I knew very early.

1:27I mean, it was very clear.

1:28It was like after that first two drives were over, the Browns and that crowd and just the vibe of everything.

1:35I was like, oh, there's no chance.

1:38So, I go and I make a very large bet on the Browns.

1:41Send you the money.

1:42Yes.

1:42And then get scared at the end.

1:44Well, see, here's the problem.

1:45Jason does this frequently where he sends me the money of a bet very early.

1:48Because he knows that if he ends up winning the bet, I've got to double the money coming back.

1:53And it's very annoying.

1:54Like, for part of the game, I go, oh, I just got to send him his $100 back.

1:56I'm like, wait, no.

1:57That makes this even.

1:58I'd have to send him another $100.

1:59The last two weeks, we've bet $100, and I'm $200 richer.

2:05So, you know.

2:06We should do this more often.

2:07We should do this more often.

2:08Just edge them.

2:1027-24.

2:12Look, say what you want about Deshaun Watson and Aaron Rodgers.

2:16One of these guys had more fun last night.

2:18One of these locker rooms, if you saw Todd Monk in the locker room, it was.

2:22They called him Chill Parcells.

2:24I mean, it.

2:25I like the nickname.

2:25All right.

2:26But you're 3-1.

2:27And you're 3-1.

2:29The vibes were very high.

2:31Especially the celebration at the end.

2:33The camaraderie.

2:34I mean, they were like.

2:35Yeah, that was cool to see.

2:36That was a team.

2:37And it's like.

2:38Dude, I mean.

2:39I'm happy for the team.

2:41I'm happy for the fans.

2:42There's so many guys on that team that are fun.

2:44They're fun players.

2:45Yeah.

2:45And the fans.

2:46My goodness.

2:47You probably won't last.

2:48No.

2:48Of course not.

2:49This was.

2:50I saw something online before their last week's victory.

2:53Like, ticket prices for this game were just so low.

2:57You could just get them for free.

2:59And then.

3:00It turns out.

3:01After they won last week.

3:02And you got a primetime game.

3:04It was like.

3:04The cheapest ticket was 240 bucks.

3:06The city was like.

3:07All in.

3:08And the Browns fans.

3:09They have just cared through all the crap.

3:12And so it's nice to have them have some wins.

3:15And they've.

3:16Like Mike said.

3:17Yeah.

3:17They've got Voldemort.

3:19They also have a bunch of really great dudes over there.

3:23That we.

3:23You know.

3:23I mean.

3:23We all love.

3:24I mean.

3:24Didzel Boston.

3:25Didzel Boston.

3:26He's.

3:26Conception.

3:27He's the dude.

3:28Yeah.

3:28He looks like the real deal.

3:29Fanon got into the end zone again.

3:31Judkins got into the end zone.

3:32Whoa.

3:33Whoa.

3:33Whoa.

3:33Whoa.

3:33Whoa.

3:33Whoa.

3:34Judkins.

3:35Oh.

3:35I'm sorry.

3:36Junkins.

3:36Junkins.

3:37Junkins.

3:38Junkins.

3:38Man.

3:38When I heard it the first time.

3:39Who was it?

3:40It was Kirk Herbstreit.

3:41Yes.

3:41So.

3:42So.

3:42Al Michaels.

3:43All of.

3:43Ninety nine years old of Al Michaels.

3:45Can pronounce this man's name normally.

3:47And I heard it the first time.

3:49I'm like.

3:49That's funny.

3:50Yeah.

3:50I'm like.

3:50Junkins.

3:51Junkins is funny.

3:52Then I.

3:52Then I hear it a second time.

3:53And I start talking about it on Slack.

3:55And then it's.

3:55Then it's every time.

3:58Yeah.

3:58Always.

3:59I think like.

3:59There was a collective.

4:01Of the entire world.

4:02Like.

4:03Huh.

4:04Okay.

4:04He said it wrong the first time.

4:06Yeah.

4:06No.

4:06He's.

4:07He's definitely saying Junkins.

4:08He's saying Junkins.

4:09Are you guys.

4:10You guys are hearing what I'm saying.

4:11I'm hearing Junkins.

4:12Yeah.

4:13Did I catch a Junkins?

4:15And Junkins.

4:1617 for 53 and one.

4:18And then Mike starts throwing out the Junkin Jonah.

4:20Oh yeah.

4:21America runs on Junkins.

4:22Cleveland runs on Junkins.

4:24Oh man.

4:24In our Slack.

4:25And I'm like.

4:25I think it's funny.

4:27So I throw that on Twitter.

4:28Oh man.

4:28And then someone on Twitter.

4:30Got to the Junkin Jonats joke.

4:32Which I had already made.

4:32And I was like.

4:33Okay.

4:34So we're not too deep.

4:35This is what we're made for here.

4:36Yes.

4:36Yeah.

4:36And Jalen Warren.

4:37Big game.

4:38Hey.

4:38DK Metcalf.

4:39Five for 115.

4:40Yeah.

4:40And was actually open.

4:41I mean.

4:41This is.

4:42The weird thing about Metcalf.

4:43Is that every week.

4:44You get this amount of targets.

4:45You get nine to ten targets every week.

4:48I also think the Roman Wilson thing is happening.

4:51And Michael Pittman is.

4:52I mean.

4:53You might as well drop him in a dynasty league.

4:55I mean.

4:55Out to pasture.

4:56This dude sucks.

4:57He caused an interception.

4:59He didn't run under the route.

5:00He didn't cause the interception.

5:02Aaron Rodgers.

5:02I think he was supposed to go underneath that route.

5:03But his arm was hit on the throw.

5:05And the ball was in a different spot than what it should have been.

5:09The one on the sideline?

5:11Because the interception I'm talking about is when it was an out route.

5:14And Denzel Ward picked it off.

5:15I don't remember who picked it off.

5:17But.

5:17I didn't.

5:17I do remember at first.

5:18At one point.

5:19Thinking.

5:20Oh.

5:20He's going to be mad at Pittman.

5:21And then watching.

5:22And seeing the arm get hit.

5:24And Al would like me to let you know.

5:25Don't actually drop him in your dynasty leagues.

5:27But I bet if you did.

5:28It wouldn't matter.

5:28A reminder.

5:29He has a bad foot right now.

5:32I believe he has the.

5:33And what are these called?

5:34Well.

5:35A mitt.

5:35A mitt.

5:36Yeah.

5:36I'm just saying.

5:36When you're running.

5:37Look.

5:38You've had plants are.

5:39You know what it feels like.

5:40That's true.

5:40Is that what he has?

5:41Yeah.

5:41So he's.

5:42He is dealing with that.

5:44Look.

5:45You're a professional wide receiver.

5:46You've got to go out there.

5:47And you've got to make it happen.

5:48Just say.

5:48He's.

5:49He is not 100%.

5:50Nor will he be 100%.

5:51I think Eli went through that at one point in time.

5:53Yes.

5:53He did.

5:53Yeah.

5:54I remember that.

5:54That's painful.

5:56All right.

5:56I'll give him a break.

5:57How about that?

5:58He's 28.

5:59So he should get back to form.

6:01What's wild is like.

6:02This is the second straight game.

6:03Rodgers has been over 280 yards.

6:04And had three touchdowns.

6:05If you started Aaron Rodgers in fantasy.

6:07You were thrilled.

6:08I mean.

6:08He's going to be.

6:09Probably a top five fantasy quarterback.

6:11Or near it.

6:12And that's disgusting.

6:13I was happy to see Junkins get into the end zone.

6:16That was a big deal.

6:17He really needed.

6:17I mean.

6:18He also caught six passes.

6:20That is everything.

6:22Because honestly.

6:2317 for 53.

6:25Is like.

6:26You're bailed out by the touchdown.

6:2817 for 53.

6:29Is not a good fantasy football game.

6:32But the fact that you got seven targets.

6:34And then converted it into six for 43.

6:37And your quarterback is.

6:39Actually.

6:39He seems good.

6:40He's.

6:40He's.

6:41He's competent.

6:43He's playing well.

6:44He's playing well enough to like.

6:45Make these rookie wide receivers.

6:46Yes.

6:46Exciting.

6:47It's the wildest turnaround of.

6:50What he was putting on the field for two straight years.

6:53Which was.

6:54He was.

6:54You could watch and be like.

6:55This is the worst quarterback.

6:57Yeah.

6:57That was not debatable.

6:58And it's like.

6:58You could be here.

6:59If it was a neutral situation.

7:00You'd be like.

7:02Well this dude.

7:02He's coming back from an Achilles.

7:04I'm not surprised.

7:05Yeah.

7:05It's not.

7:06I'm not surprised.

7:06It took a couple games.

7:08But then you had the compounding effect.

7:09Of like how bad he was before the injury.

7:11Yeah.

7:12So.

7:12I didn't think we'd be here.

7:13No.

7:13No.

7:14Definitely not.

7:15So it.

7:15Like Denzel Boston.

7:18Is.

7:18This is so exciting.

7:20Of.

7:21A player that.

7:22You know.

7:23On our dynasty pod.

7:24When you're trying to hit on.

7:25Prospects.

7:26It can be very difficult.

7:27And.

7:28Denzel Boston.

7:29In particular.

7:31Was like.

7:32I feel like Jason.

7:33We both had the same take.

7:34You'd be like.

7:35This.

7:35It's not going to.

7:36This.

7:37Doesn't work.

7:38His.

7:39Like his archetype.

7:40His skill set.

7:41Like.

7:42We've seen it.

7:42It doesn't work.

7:43And yet.

7:43I'm just compelled.

7:44I'm in.

7:45On the talent of Denzel Boston.

7:47He feels like a player that could work.

7:49Then he goes to the Browns.

7:50And you're like.

7:50Oh.

7:51Goal.

7:52Okay.

7:52Never mind.

7:53That is completely toast.

7:55But.

7:56He looks like their.

7:58True.

7:59Wide receiver one.

8:01Over the first round pick.

8:02He does seem like the.

8:03Especially for fantasy purposes.

8:05Yeah.

8:05Even if the targets.

8:06Like.

8:06In this game.

8:07Seven to eight.

8:08Concepcion.

8:08Had more targets.

8:09But.

8:10For fantasy purposes.

8:11The.

8:12The type of targets.

8:14The utilization.

8:15The downfield.

8:16The tackle.

8:16Could have had a lot more.

8:17The touchdown.

8:18He had a couple of drops.

8:19Well.

8:20Yeah.

8:20Drops.

8:20Or just not.

8:21And Jerry Judy just appearing every once in a while.

8:23On this offense.

8:24It's very funny to me.

8:25Just out of nowhere.

8:26And he gets all hype.

8:27He was so proud.

8:28He gets so proud.

8:28He took a little crossing around six yards.

8:30And then he's like.

8:31It was a.

8:31It was a big catch in the moment.

8:33But it was a big play.

8:34Oh.

8:34There you are.

8:35It was a good game.

8:36It was.

8:36And the Browns are leading the division.

8:38Jerry Judy.

8:38This is the best news in the world.

8:42Jerry Judy played 37% of snaps.

8:46You had Concepcion and Boston playing 92 and 95%.

8:51That's their future.

8:52Yep.

8:52That's how they're playing.

8:53That's what.

8:54I think everybody.

8:55You know.

8:55Sometimes like.

8:56We're like.

8:56Why aren't coaches doing this?

8:58You know.

8:58The fallacy of good coaching.

9:00It doesn't always happen.

9:01But it's like.

9:02Yes.

9:02This is the way.

9:03Yes.

9:03And it's nice to see him do it.

9:05And succeed.

9:05Yeah.

9:05And on the other side.

9:06Roman Wilson looks good in the slot.

9:08He does.

9:09He had a seam route.

9:10It was a good pass.

9:11More opportunities coming for him.

9:13Also.

9:13Jalen Warren has been awesome.

9:15Yeah.

9:15I feel like if they had.

9:17Tackle breaking machine.

9:18Yeah.

9:18I mean.

9:19He's just been so good.

9:20Look at all these players we're talking about.

9:22In this game.

9:22It was fun.

9:23Look at that.

9:23It was a really fun game.

9:24It was a good time.

9:24And it came down to the wire.

9:26Yep.

9:26And guess what Jay.

9:28It's also Friday.

9:28Oh.

9:28Foot Clan Friday.

9:38Every Friday we give a $100 gift card away to fantasychamps.com.

9:41This week's winner from the Foot Clan community is St. Olaf 1987.

9:48St. Olaf 1987.

9:51Okay.

9:51Congratulations.

9:52You are this week's winner.

9:54Thank you for supporting the podcast over there at jointhefoot.com.

9:56Let's talk news.

10:00News and notes from around the league.

10:04Did you guys see this thing in Deucer's Alley?

10:07This is some breaking news.

10:08Yesterday there was kind of a lighting malfunction.

10:09Do you remember that?

10:10Yeah.

10:11For part of the show.

10:12And unfortunately we had to have a real serious conversation around here.

10:16And Jason I can see you're almost tearing up.

10:18Yeah.

10:19But we had to let Josh be the big dog.

10:22We put him in the captain seat.

10:23We put him in the captain seat.

10:24You got demoted.

10:25Yeah.

10:25He's the William Riker role now.

10:28We've got.

10:29Are you doing okay with all this, man?

10:30I mean, I know we kind of keep things public.

10:33I hate you.

10:34You know what?

10:35You know what?

10:36I think.

10:37You're right.

10:38I actually feel bad now.

10:39Why don't you go on like a cruise for like a week?

10:41You know what?

10:42As soon as this show's over, I'm out of here.

10:43All right.

10:44All right.

10:45So Papa Josh in the driver's seat today.

10:47And yeah, you're more like the pilot.

10:52Like when they do the pilot's training that's in there just in case something goes wrong.

10:56Or like the driver's ed.

10:57I got the steering wheel over here.

10:59You have a break over there?

11:00In case of emergency.

11:00Yeah.

11:01Does it throw Josh right out the door?

11:02Yeah.

11:02It's an eject button.

11:03His foot's real tired already.

11:06All right.

11:07The commander's officially ruled out.

11:08Jaden Daniels for week four.

11:10Mike, I kind of surprised you yesterday when I was like he hadn't been ruled out and they

11:14were talking about him possibly playing, but he's not going to play this week.

11:17He's wearing a brace.

11:18He is not going to get surgery right now.

11:20Which, I mean, I don't know what has happened out there in like casual leagues, but I can

11:28tell you that in our chopped league, our swell was 18.

11:34What are we down to now?

11:3416 or 15.

11:36One of y'all nerds dropped Jaden Daniels and I got him for like a decimal percentage of

11:41that.

11:41When did this happen?

11:42This week.

11:43Oh, gosh.

11:44So I had scooped him up.

11:46That's wild.

11:47Make sure he's not on your waiver wire.

11:49He might be.

11:50Jason mentioned Rashad White.

11:51The injury might be worse than we think.

11:53He's still not practicing.

11:54Eckler was signed if we didn't mention that.

11:56So Rashad White is not looking great.

11:58DeAndre Swift, this is wild.

12:00Added to the injury report on Thursday.

12:01Knee injury.

12:02Didn't practice.

12:03Menunga is practicing in full.

12:05Yeah, I mean, this is humongous because yeah, I don't know guy could be a fantastic start

12:13this week.

12:13If menunga is by himself.

12:15Yep.

12:15I mean, he's very capable.

12:17Yeah.

12:18Very, very capable against the Jets at home.

12:21I mean, I would expect a top 10 menunga by himself over Braylon Allen in the same game.

12:27For sure.

12:28I would take the better offense.

12:30Yeah.

12:30Offensive line.

12:31I think that's close, but I probably would if I had both of those guys.

12:34Mike got Jaden Daniels for $5.

12:37In a thousand family.

12:37In a thousand dollar budget.

12:40Manunga.

12:41All right.

12:42Bucky Irving remained limited on Thursday.

12:44This is probably going to be okay.

12:47I think Bucky's going to play.

12:49The matchup is pretty okay.

12:50But, you know, there was talk this week about...

12:53Limited.

12:53I mean, not pretty okay.

12:54It's really okay.

12:55Green Bay can't play defense against running backs.

12:57So you have an undrafted free agent making his first career starts.

13:00Yeah.

13:01And you don't know what the check down situation will be.

13:03That was where Bucky was making a lot of hay in the receiving game.

13:06You also had conversations this week.

13:08Lies is another way to put them.

13:09About Sean Tucker getting heavily involved.

13:12Oh, that's right.

13:13Yeah.

13:13But, man, nobody.

13:14Nobody's been talked about getting involved more than Sean Tucker over the last five years.

13:18Yeah.

13:18His career is being talked up.

13:20I mean, and deservedly so.

13:23Because when he gets the ball, he does great things.

13:26Now, don't give it to him.

13:28Right.

13:28So weird.

13:29But...

13:29He's all tuckered out.

13:31Oh, nice.

13:32And Bucky's butt hurt.

13:33So, nice.

13:34Okay.

13:34We are on perfect form.

13:37And I attribute this to our lead producer, Papa Josh.

13:40All right.

13:41Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua remained limited on Thursday with the hip and groin.

13:47Terrence Ferguson did not practice.

13:49He's not going to play.

13:50Parkinson's not going to play.

13:51I am still...

13:53Ask me how scared I am.

13:55How scared are you?

13:56How scared are you?

13:57The most scared.

13:57You're the most scared?

13:58I'm the most scared.

13:59Because I've said this.

14:01I'm not doing a thing trade-wise with Puka until this week is over.

14:04He might be completely fine.

14:06I just believe that what he's dealing with is a high risk of showing itself this week.

14:14Now, if he makes it through the week, I'll feel great.

14:16But this particular week, I am scared.

14:19Yeah, I mean...

14:19And I wouldn't be trying to pick him up on the cheap just yet.

14:22The expectation is that he's going to play right now.

14:26He's not practicing in full, but that's what's being reported is he's expected to play.

14:30That's not a guarantee yet.

14:32It's listed hip slash groin, man.

14:34Which is usually a core muscle injury, a fear of sports hernia and the surgery with that.

14:40We've talked about this a lot.

14:42I'm on the side, and this is a huge risk.

14:46But I feel like if you could trade cheap for Nakua or, you know...

14:50It won't be cheap.

14:51It won't be cheap.

14:52So are you willing to trade medium?

14:53It's a league-winning bet.

14:55Yeah, exactly.

14:56It's a league-winning bet.

14:56I'm willing to take that chance.

14:57And it sucks because you're...

15:00If it works, like let's say it hits.

15:03You make a medium bet and you trade a good player that can nab him.

15:11Drake London.

15:11No.

15:14I mean, if...

15:16Garrett Wilson.

15:17Yeah.

15:18Oh, man.

15:19Garrett Wilson's a great example.

15:20I mean, I love Garrett Wilson.

15:21He's my guy.

15:21I want to put names to it because I want the gravity to be there.

15:26Yeah, I mean...

15:26That's a heavy bet.

15:27Justin Jefferson.

15:29If I could turn like a...

15:31Mike's face.

15:33Like if you could turn Tedrow and McMillan and something or T. Higgins.

15:38T. Higgins is great.

15:39Here's what I don't think...

15:40I don't think anyone will do that.

15:43Because I think anybody that drafted him, drafted him in the top five, top six, and they're

15:47waiting to get their return on investment.

15:50And they now have news that he's practicing.

15:52I think it takes a Drake London or a Garrett Wilson.

15:54I think that's the way...

15:55I think you could persuade somebody to stop dealing with that problem of not knowing.

15:58Now, my theory, speculation, personal opinion, is when you get a sports hernia or core muscle

16:06injury, it's not season-ending.

16:09Puka can come back.

16:11But the more you delay surgery, the longer it takes, obviously.

16:15They have playoff and Super Bowl aspirations.

16:17I look at this week as like...

16:18They're like...

16:19Dude, rubber's meeting the road now, man.

16:20Like, you get out there.

16:21If you feel good and we're ready to go, let's just go.

16:24But it's time to draw a line in the sand.

16:26If it doesn't go well this week...

16:28Have surgery.

16:28Have surgery.

16:29Come back.

16:30Come back in four to six weeks.

16:31I think that's the time...

16:32Eight weeks.

16:32Eight weeks?

16:33I think it would probably be eight weeks, but...

16:35Yeah.

16:35I mean, that's...

16:36Which is fine for the Rams, but not for fantasy.

16:38And part of the problem is, is like Puka has had and dealt with injuries that have lingered

16:42or, you know...

16:43It's not been...

16:44He's not what he was injury-prone-wise, but I just am concerned.

16:49And it is a big bet.

16:50So there you go.

16:51We think he'll play.

16:53Brees Hall?

16:54Not playing.

16:55So we'll get the...

16:56And Kenyon Sadiq dealing with a back injury.

16:59Limited on Thursday.

17:00We expect him to play.

17:01I hope he's playing because A.D. Mitchell and Mason Taylor are also not playing.

17:07So you've got the same great opportunity that Sadiq took advantage of last week, as well

17:12as a good matchup.

17:13So, yeah.

17:15I really hope that...

17:16Really hope Sadiq's fine.

17:18You want to hear something bad?

17:19No.

17:20No.

17:20What?

17:20Okay, then I'll tell you the good news.

17:21So, Nico still limited on Thursday, but maybe he comes back.

17:25All right, the bad news.

17:26Devontae Smith.

17:28The Eagles are planning to play without him, and I've heard maybe more than one week.

17:32I've seen the reports.

17:33Like, he has not been ruled anything as of right now.

17:37It's just everything.

17:38The reports are they're preparing to play without.

17:41And there is another big piece of news, and I'm going to talk about it now, not later,

17:44in case you dip out of the show at some point.

17:47Lad McConkie.

17:49Lad McConkie has injured his foot.

17:50He was seen limping out of the locker room.

17:52He missed practice.

17:53He has a foot injury.

17:55You might ask yourself, is the foot also the ribs?

17:58No, those are different.

18:00And his ribs were the ones that were hurt.

18:02I mean, we can work it there.

18:03Yeah.

18:03I mean, if you kick somebody in the ribs, your foot will hurt, and their ribs will hurt.

18:09But he's got both injuries now.

18:10This is just...

18:12You're my guys, man.

18:15They're all dead.

18:16Caleb Williams.

18:17The only one that wasn't dead was Lad.

18:19Lad was the one that's, like, hanging on by a rib.

18:22Yeah.

18:22And now it's like, no, we're not going to...

18:24We're going to go foot now.

18:26So, Stribling, Lad, Caleb, Alec Pierce, my fantasy MVP, all cooked.

18:31It's impossible.

18:32It's just irritating.

18:34It's just the worst.

18:36Yeah.

18:36So, there you go.

18:38Devontae Smith, you know, we can...

18:40We'll have start-sit questions with Dontavian Wicks, Makai Lemon on the segment today, and

18:45then Mike Evans still not practicing.

18:47We'll see.

18:48And Travis H.A. Jr. placed on IR with his hamstring injury.

18:52Yep.

18:53So far...

18:54I don't know, causation, correlation.

18:57So far, ETN has been better than H.A.

19:00Yeah.

19:00No, you're not wrong.

19:01ETN Jr. better than H.A.

19:03The change has not been successful for him.

19:05No, his bank account did well with the A-chan side.

19:07I feel like he signed that as ETN, though.

19:10Oh, yeah.

19:10It was after he got that money...

19:12No, I accept your point.

19:13...that he was like, hey, now I'm going to have a press conference to tell people it's

19:17A-chan.

19:17It's like, oh, is it?

19:18You're on IR.

19:20So...

19:20Oh, man.

19:22We are doing well today.

19:23How dare you tell people how to pronounce your name?

19:26Did he put a Florida...

19:28What is that thing called?

19:29Junkins.

19:29Florida Lee.

19:30Florida Lee?

19:31Did he put that next to...

19:32Junkins is outrageous, man.

19:34And...

19:35It is now...

19:35Cleveland runs on Junkins.

19:36Oh, I shall call him.

19:37Michaels was trying so hard to correct him.

19:40Oh, he was hammering the B.

19:41Like, every time he would say Junkins, he'd be like, yeah, Judkins.

19:45Jud-kins.

19:47Junkins.

19:49Junkin-Jonas.

19:50Junkin-Jonas.

19:51All right, we're taking a break.

19:52We've got the forecast and the rest of these match-ups.

19:54We have a lot of times.

19:55We have a lot of times.

20:03fantasy forecast presented by prize picks

20:09i feel like he's doing the uh the the bit the why am i talking why what way what way and then

20:19he came out of halftime and did it again right oh it was junkins the whole time we not fix it

20:23at halftime that's like that's a big deal because they're like kirk it's judkins you know what

20:28someone told me what i'm saying yeah junkins that's that's exactly what it was what are you

20:33talking about yeah no i know yes i'm hitting the d junkins which i think herp street's an ohio state

20:40guy so this should be he said junkins for years is what i figured out but somebody did point out

20:46they said uh i'm glad you guys noticed that but um throughout the entire history of your show

20:51andy's been saying tyler lindenbaum instead of linderbaum i learned that last night okay so we

20:57fixed it uh that one person that wrote me you're very happy right now like with a chan like when

21:03we get corrected we try to fix it yeah we don't have someone say it the correct way into our face

21:08and we're like yeah i'm saying that jason charlie collar you know or jason with mcdaniels and oh gosh

21:15that was hard uh matchups we covered yesterday colts commanders that's the london game patriots

21:20bills jets bears jags bangles the cat fight cardinals giants rams eagles packers buccaneers titans

21:26ravens cowboys texans uh six more matchups worth noting we covered the bears game yesterday but

21:32uh shefter this morning is saying he he thinks he doesn't have news because it's all secret but

21:37he believes it's going to be uh secret bajant man yeah i saw that as well at the quarterback position

21:42well and they're trying to keep it secret but then they said all the first team reps are going to him

21:45yeah well then that's not a secret i mean if all the first if we know all the first team reps are going

21:51they're going to the starter that's what we're gonna fake right no it's hard to well think about

21:56thinking about ultimate confidence in yourself versus like your system and the plays and the

22:02practice versus not coming back i mean case kingdom was dominant so it's just hard for me to see them

22:06not i mean we like we like secret bajant man we've always thought he was good they've paid him to be

22:12the backup he was the backup so i don't know i mean that's case kingdom health meter is only so big

22:17well i mean speaking of all of that we have that exact same thing with the miami dolphins now

22:23dolphins are oh and three minnesota three you know in minnesota good night um vegas line minnesota

22:29minus 10 and a half sim two next week over under is 38 and a half the the implied point total from

22:36miami is 14 and listen that the story of miami is this they had one good player and he's hurt now for

22:40the year yeah they had one good player yes i'm willing to say that they have none now there's no way

22:47that like i like chris bell we're not getting there you've seen the past completions malik willis

22:53has one passing touchdown in three games his prize picks projection oh boy for malik willis is it's the

22:58lowest of the week it is 169 and a half passing yards and i don't know if i would take more or less

23:05and i don't i don't know if malik willis sucks or if malik willis would have done well if you put him

23:11in minnesota with jefferson addison hawkinson these dudes like i think there's a combo platter

23:18here of of not having established weapons caleb douglas is out you know it's just tough i think

23:24they they still have at least one good uh player i think that their rookie linebacker jacob rodriguez

23:31looks great oh thank you there's there's quarterbacks there's tons of i think there's far more quarterbacks

23:37that if they're in the right situation they can just they can succeed it's like we've seen all of

23:43that with jalen hurts like you can't say he's a terrible quarterback i mean you can at this moment

23:50yeah but historically you're like two times the quarterback who went to the super bowl twice and

23:54won it once you're like he's terrible like that's a dumb argument you're like yeah but now watch him so

23:58i think malik willis is one of those guys he just was in a good situation with green bay the last

24:03couple years and they made him look like he could thrive in that situation it's not working here no

24:09and they at least through a couple weeks they have the cleanest path to get that first pick right now

24:13their schedule's brutal now in this game it's 10 and a half points i have very little confidence in

24:19minnesota's offense outside of handing the ball off to aaron jones and kind of having that work in this

24:24one because yeah miami can't stop running backs but the way they lose this game is simple it's just

24:31not having a passing offense is making mistakes at quarterback and let's say what's true i mean i

24:36don't think justin jefferson's going to be in this game if you are fighting an ankle injury

24:40he hasn't practiced and you're playing miami as a 10 and a half point favorite right now like

24:44if you want to give your star another week you sit him down so i i do have questions of whether

24:49minnesota will cover this but they might do it on the defensive side they might stop the dolphins and

24:54turn them over and and get some points on the on that side yeah so the the running back position

25:00ollie gordon was the the big talking point of waver day as hm went out and ollie gordon got a

25:05bajillion carries and a bajillion fab dollars spent on him we we talked about we like we broke down the

25:11situation saying sure he got all that work is he the guy i probably but do remember that jalen wright

25:18was listed ahead of him on the depth chart jalen wright was out of that game because he was injured

25:23all signs point to jalen wright being back this week and he still sits on top of the depth chart

25:30talking about jalen wright is the quote from their head coach jeff hafe so halfley today and in part

25:35of our analysis we're like he plays minnesota this week like it's bad for both it's really i know you

25:40you're hoping that you buy volume but what level of uh like assurance or just any level of positivity

25:49are you you think it's going to be ollie gordon on sunday are you going to play him against the vikings

25:54believing he will get 15 or more opportunities i just imagine that most people have a higher upside

26:00option to flex than ollie gordon and the hardest part is if you did spend 80 plus and fab you feel

26:07like you want to play him i don't think i mean you talked about junkins getting saved by a touchdown

26:14the ollie gordon stat line you're dreaming of right now is about 11 for 31 and a touchdown yeah

26:21yeah and and it and it still could be jalen wright the if these two guys are splitting carries and the

26:26thing is it's like more likely to have the long touchdown run uh the the the awful part of this

26:31is let's say their plan is to have one of these guys kind of carry the load and we don't know who it is

26:38let's say it's right what's the chance that against the minnesota vikings defense on the road in

26:44minnesota that it's going to go well that he's going to have a hot hand and at some point you go okay

26:48well let's try the other guy no matter who it is so this is a situation where i i would really like

26:54to start someone else um i i would start jadarian price who's been you know struggling and bad uh

27:01obviously kyle manungai even if swift is playing i'd rather start manungai um looking woody marks

27:08is a player that i feel like against dallas i i feel like that's it that's the tier at least of this

27:15player sorry brooksy is saying we don't really have a ton of popular start sit questions with

27:21ollie gordon i imagine that the minnesota matchup is well no i'm sure like if you spent and you picked

27:25them up you're not questioning it you're just going to put them out there so but you should question

27:29best well yeah you can you can argue that the vikings offense has been a worse offense than the

27:34dolphins by the way sure they have the lowest ever yards per play for a three and oh team in history

27:404.3 59 of their drives have resulted in a punt and you don't have jefferson and after jefferson

27:46left last week outside of one bomb throw it was gross that's why my face lit up when you're like

27:52would you trade jefferson for puka yeah i know i'm like of course we that's a chance i would still

27:58don't know we still don't know if if kyler and jefferson is gonna work you see ian harditz shout

28:04out to uh the great dean harditz yeah he's always got good twits tweets and stuff um kevin o'connell

28:10has coached 73 games in the nfl as the head coach of the vikings not not one time has anybody had a

28:19worst single game passing success rate than kyler murray last week it was the single worst performance

28:26at quarterback he's ever had and he's had tons of backups that would include games of jj mccarthy

28:31then that if i'm not mistaken brother that would include games with maximus brosmer

28:36oh my god

28:39listen you look this is we have been here we've watched it we tried to tell you i hope it improves

28:49this mario the matchup to have it tyler oh yeah this is the matchup to have it improve i mean especially

28:54if you're talking fantasy kyler murray is a guy that i think people are starting this week oh gosh

28:59he's mobile he's on the ground he's against the dolphins he's on the ground physically like he's

29:04very very close to addison had nine targets some deep targets he caught one he caught a touchdown

29:09player and jones where where are you playing play addison okay and play other players in other games

29:17i lean that way as well so yeah and don't mess around with wide receivers from miami in this matchup

29:24it would be if you want to if chris bell gets eight more targets this week you know and he catches

29:29three of them which is the most likely outcome you can you can think about them in future weeks

29:33kansas city's three you know they take on the i'm sorry they take on andy's las vegas raiders

29:38that's what it's in the show doc wait a minute oh i love it i love it and by the way it's uh

29:45it's in las vegas vegas line kansas city minus four and a half oh you're doing it on

29:49andy's almost upset of the week riding the silver wave boys if that have your board if the raiders

30:01win that game and are four and oh beating the division also leading you know kansas city chiefs

30:07wow this is a battle for first place jay like you said my homes has never lost on the road to the

30:13raiders ever so that's cool um the pass rush the secondary the number one fantasy defense right now

30:20in football is the raiders so that that's as far as the the defense scoring fantasy points correct

30:27right yeah yeah yeah i don't think that they're like anybody would argue that they're the very best

30:31no they're not a shutdown defense they're they're playing much better than they were last year

30:35third against wide receivers 10th against running backs uh the tight end position which you know

30:41the chiefs their top target is really travis kelsey so that's an area where the raiders have been beat

30:45but um i think it'll be a fun one i really do you know you start the the big boys in this one

30:50you start kenneth walker rashi rice uh yeah i think you're playing him if you've been playing him

30:57genti and brock bowers bowers looks unguardable that'll be a challenge for the chiefs you know that's

31:02an area where you know they they they're willing to stay with the running game with genti no matter what

31:09it's not you know and kubiak who we love like he's he's unwilling to relent from giving those

31:15carries because he understands and he did it last year even inefficiently right we he liked

31:20charbonnet and charbonnet wasn't productive but it unlocks parts of your offense there are that is a

31:25philosophy that a lot of offensive coordinators have is it's just where you keep linebackers how

31:30many people are in the box how you think about the offense but kirk cousins right now tied with purdy for

31:35league lead and touchdowns anybody i mean are you excited to see what happens i am i'm very excited

31:42to watch this game in kansas city i wouldn't have pushed that button no i mean this is an exciting

31:46game there's a lot of fantasy assets um i this will be the real test i mean being a divisional matchup

31:54they're they're prepared for each other very well and um you've seen you've seen max crosby just

32:01be an absolute terror so far through three weeks now he's gonna have to see what he can do about

32:06my homes i think this game comes down to kenneth walker can they sure can the raiders shut down

32:13kenneth walker or not and that will be that will be the test they've they're top 10 against running

32:17backs but they haven't been like some impossible to run on team uh so i just love these stories i really

32:24do whether it's the saints the browns the raiders they're fun you you have an off season of speculating

32:31and believing and seeing vegas predictions on who wins divisions and how many wins they're going to

32:36have i mean what was the vegas win total four and a half what's funny is they can get to four this week

32:41when you look at teams every every year we talk about it we talk about in the off season we picked

32:45our teams uh that go from worst to first in the division basically every single time that happens

32:52there is usually a coordinator whoever the offensive line is head coach or coordinator shift and then

32:59you know oftentimes it's that rookie quarterback that new young quarterback coming in and you look

33:04at the raiders and you're like oh fernando mendoza maybe we picked them to be the surprise it's like

33:08no it's kirk does it's captain kirk so uh i don't know if there's big starts at decisions in this one

33:15other than like the kind of you know deep league emergency flexes of the trade tuckers of the world

33:22but i i think it's pretty straightforward fantasy wise yeah the the traits trade talker's been fine

33:28in terms of a flex play would try to find somebody else would try are we feeling good about rushy rice

33:37yeah getting up and his targets have gone up and up and up so far i feel fine i mean i if you had to

33:43predict his fantasy finish the rest of the way i'd probably be at about wide receiver 24 20 to 24

33:49which is not what you might have hoped for but it's still usable i still think they're going to add a

33:55wide receiver at some point via trade or via tyreek denver two and one taking on the three no san

34:01francisco 49ers in san francisco 49ers a three-point favorites the over under here 47 and a half

34:07um i think there's a lot of question marks in this game this one's not cut and dry at all and you know

34:16the 49ers are dominating on the offensive side of the football we talked about purdy he's leading the

34:20league in touchdown passes mcafree of course you play him what's your thoughts on like the

34:25you know is mcafree what you thought he'd be so far i mean he is performing yeah he is running back

34:34seven on the year i think he is running back four with 20 points against miami to another 20 points

34:41against arizona used to have the weird start with the rams especially with the the snaps that was i

34:48think i guess he had the cramps right yes yeah yeah they he reportedly had cramps that he was playing

34:52through and they were beating the crap out of the rams and they and the rookie got on the field

34:57more than we expected if you're disappointed in mcafree right now you're just letting week one be

35:02imprinted on you he's he's been great for fantasy he's going to be awesome against denver who has a

35:08run funnel they like as great as their defense is they just against running backs right now they're

35:1328th for in giving up fantasy runnel for short maybe it's not i was i was leaving it up to the jury

35:22oh i'm sorry man the people keep saying funnel i got you uh yeah we're back to the run funnel you're

35:29playing mcafree yes but i was saying you should not be disappointed and honestly i mean we we saw

35:34last year even when he was inefficient the loss of the wide receivers around him it just meant they

35:40use him more and more and more we don't know the health of mike evans he didn't practice on wednesday

35:45or thursday with the rib injury he still might go and i think if he does you probably just keep

35:50playing him he play play him when he plays through injury but there's a chance he sits brandon cooks

35:54has been elevated to the active roster for this that's not a good sign feels like they have an

35:58infinite supply of like has-beens that they can yoink up to the of last starting roster yeah infinite

36:05supply of last man up i mean play debo daunte pettis yeah he joined yeah former former my guy for a

36:11minute debo is a play the the the amount of volume like he's only averaging 18 routes per game because

36:17of how san francisco is playing right now i don't love it uh like i mean it's a better option i will

36:27admit but league of record uh like i'm i got debo on the bench because i happen to have braylon allen

36:33as as the replacement but he is he's desperate i would play him above like the trey tucker we just

36:40talked about but confidence is not high of he he was the last man standing came through with a big

36:46fantasy day and yet had no catches he had one play yeah so it which was weird like how do you

36:52have devo out there as the only guy kittle should just keep getting better oh goodness kittle kittle

36:58kittle is awesome so on the other side though i have my questions around the jalen wattle confidence

37:03level price picks has him at six and a half targets 56 and a half receiving yards he is leading the team

37:09in first read target share but if you've played jalen wattle thus far this year you were happy one

37:14third of the time the last two weeks i play wattle over debo yeah i would as well i it's crazy do you

37:21know his receiving yards in two of his games was two and ten two and ten i just don't like i just

37:27didn't think that you know we could get to the point with this team where you know you could have

37:32two games like that yeah waddles that unemboldened agreed that's crazy that is crazy it was kansas city

37:38and the rams uh tough matchups i i feel like supposed to be really good about about the football

37:44yeah i i am fine playing waddle i'm actually i think he's gonna have a very good game this week

37:50yeah i mean i i play him over debo i agree with that i would you play him or burden

37:56i would play waddle i i mean this is not an easy matchup i think burden might be safer

38:04they still can't run the football and we'd be sitting here saying hey jonah coleman can you fix

38:09that for him but he's on ir dobbins averaging three and a half a carry denver averaging 81 rushing yards

38:15a game that's 31st in the nfl the conglomerate of dobbins harvey and company bidet it's not getting

38:22it done to the degree that you are getting a lot of viable fantasy value no i i think that this matchup

38:28is a little bit a little bit of a lie when you look at you know the current season stats that the

38:3449ers have put up their defense has been great but you know it's like the you know you got to

38:40remember they there was that weird australia game where the rams just didn't show up obviously the

38:44rams are much better than that maybe it's all credit to the 49ers defense but then after that

38:49it was the miami dolphins and the arizona cardinals and the arizona cardinals put up 30 points on them so

38:53this defense is pretty injured and i just i wouldn't think three weeks and we talk about we want to have

38:58one more week before we know what defenses are what i think the i think the denver broncos are going to

39:04yeah i think we said that on the okay on the footcast yesterday that we i think we'd feel

39:08more comfortable we're getting that data in but i think four weeks is where we really want to be

39:13to let those outlier games not weigh so heavily so we're all learning 49ers were were a defense

39:18you kind of targeted yeah all right we'll take a break and we'll talk uh america's team the chargers

39:23there's something satisfying about being prepared before everybody else catches on a fantasy lineup

39:35set early the waiver claim submitted in this year having the holiday shopping handled before the last

39:41minute scramble begins amazon's prime big deal days is coming it's october 6th through the 7th two days

40:09make the list now then be ready when prime big deal days arrives shop prime big deal days this october 6th

40:18through the 7th the beat goes on for los angeles and the charger fans who are 0-3 and get the privilege

40:28of traveling to seattle to take on the defending champions in their building coming off a loss

40:35oh boy vegas has the line seattle minus seven over under 42 and a half that's a small implied point

40:45total for the chargers who might literally be without the only player that has made any of their

40:51passing downs look important if lad is hurt and even if he's i mean he's limping even if he's active

40:59he's hurt uh i don't imagine the chargers offense doing very much i uh i i was i was okay with hampton

41:08in this you know i we had a bunch of questions through the week of like this guy or hampton and

41:13i was hampton on most of them the the lad foot injury really is a big problem because when lad

41:19hasn't been out there this offense has not been able to move the ball this is a tough matchup on

41:23the road against seattle there's one player i'm paying close attention to this week because i i believe

41:30the frustrations around quentin johnston are starting to bubble over to opportunities and last

41:35week trey harris did make a splash six for 76 if you're talking about quentin johnston you know

41:42having his challenges and then lad being off the field and this team potentially losing in this game

41:48that's the situation i'd be paying attention to i think trey harris could be moving into a more

41:52prominent role yeah he's good i think he's worth a speculation stash on the for the weekend but mike

41:58your view of hampton versus braylon allen i would play braylon allen hampton versus bill

42:03against indianapolis and that defense man bill with no rashad white and eckler fresh off of the

42:10street i think i don't even know if eckler's going to be active david montgomery against dallas or uh

42:16mr hampton the matchup of montgomery is really good blarf that one i think i'm willing to go hampton

42:24darnold is my start of the week on the other side of the football here uh the the jadarian price

42:30experiment for fantasy has been rough but this week you know you look at the situation and you

42:37still think he's going to get a lot of snaps he didn't practice on thursday uh yeah i know the

42:41chest i know i'm just saying if he's active like charbs is not going to be active no no no not yet

42:46and salami and emmanuel wilson we'll see i mean if price was out all of a sudden emmanuel wilson oh

42:51yeah right absolute disgusting yeah i mean when you say smash start he could be awesome for fantasy

42:58uh the same way charbonnet was but it's like he then they'll just split him and salami um for sure

43:05they're not going to have a single back i feel like it sounds like a good sandwich yeah it does

43:09split salami sandwich split salami they had the game where wilson just took over the fourth quarter

43:17i lani feels far more like the like if we're going to pass or we we got to catch up we're going to

43:24get some targets to to george he just feels like extra snap guy but when they're just if they're going

43:29to salt the game away if price is out i'm i'm open to playing emmanuel wilson um not george yeah not

43:37not george all right sunday night football guys if you thought you only had one cat fight this week

43:41you were wrong cat fight 2.0 lions panthers lions 2 and 1 panthers 1 and 2 this is the first week in

43:49nfl history where we've had all four feline football teams face each other yeah shout out to kyle for

43:54that incredible step we have had 78 cat fight games though in nfl history between two cat teams just so

44:02you for those keeping track which is none of you how are kyle historically cats versus birds

44:09look into it look into it look into it people need to know honestly most dominant animal that at

44:16least has two teams representing it what is it uh the lions are two and one panthers are one and two

44:22it's in carolina detroit minus three and a half over under 50 and a half 68 chance of rain in this one

44:28but the over under still 50.5 two mile an hour winds projected it should be okay

44:33yeah i feel like there's a wind amount that you shouldn't report you know what i mean uh yeah

44:39for sure but if there's a storm you want to report that you don't have to worry i just don't think

44:44anyone should know that it's two mile an hour winds my point is you know i mean it should just be called

44:48breezy an hour winds because that's where you know when it's when it's rainy oftentimes that comes with

44:54the the wind this one does not right mike you want to report this news well it's we haven't kyle hasn't

45:00confirmed it yet well the report we're seeing is that birds lead cats 234 229 and 10 it's pretty

45:07dominant no it isn't that's five more wins oh i thought it was 334 that'd be a lot more dominant

45:14than 234 i mean the birds and cats there'd be 100 more the birds and cats are really close uh this game

45:20right now i'm just excited for it ultimately yes uh oh my gosh kyle's giving me lion versus panther stats

45:26i mean i don't need this man we know the lion's gonna win this thing panther's got nothing on it

45:31you give me panther versus jaguar maybe you got a battle yeah but lions the king yeah all right are

45:38there any mascots that would beat the lion bears wait are we talking a lion and a bear you think a

45:43bear would win i don't know are we talking the actual like mascot yes there's lots no not like

45:48giants and titans are giants and titans and then you know got some lightning in there from the

45:55chargers that probably takes them out we don't need to open this yeah we've done this on the

45:59spitballers um all right bryce young it is a good matchup he is leading the nfl in passing yards

46:06still it was not a great week yes there's all you can do all the good stuff about bryce young you say

46:12but i mean last week we saw him last week but coker went out in that game i don't know and his

46:18coker and the browns are i mean look at the browns they're they're okay defensively jalen coker's

46:23practice reports this week have been ridiculous because it's like hey we've seen him there he's

46:28defensively he's he's appearing in practice you're like oh no but he's limited he's just doing

46:33individual stuff you're like no he's not even doing individual stuff i don't know what's going

46:37on with jaylen coker i don't think he's playing consolidation jason has tet as a start of the

46:41week i got waller as a start of the week at tight end yeah i mean you're you're going to end up

46:45throwing a lot on the lions they've got a great pass rush with hutchinson but they end up

46:51scoring a lot of points and needing to be thrown on and being able to be thrown on you

46:55you they're 32nd against quarterbacks 32nd against tight ends 29th against wide receivers so far

47:00through three weeks of fantasy points given up so you want there's a reason there's a high over

47:05under on this game and you want players in it yeah you also have a panthers defense who's been great

47:09against wide receivers but now has more injuries in the secondary so i again three weeks in so i think

47:15the big question mark you're not doubting the big boys gibbs and amanra every week always

47:19laporta i think you're fine with it's the do you want to start jameson williams are you willing to

47:25start jameson williams and i i find myself kind of just not expecting a lot when i put him out there

47:32right now jameson williams or luther burden i'd probably try luther personally against the jets

47:37jamo's been he's been bad man jameson williams or a jefferson list vikings and you play jordan

47:46i'd play addison i'd play addison that jason i you you can jump in i mean right now right now jamo's

47:51on pace for 56 catches for 719 yards yeah it's tough i mean i it's tough when it's three in a row

47:58but this is also kind of what jameson williams has done for an entire career it's just he disappears

48:03disappears do you play those guys plus matchups then is that what you do is is never miss out on

48:09a plus matchup for the volatile uh yeah i mean jameson has he's shown that it doesn't matter

48:15it whatever you think you could start him you can't and if you don't think you could start him

48:18you should so start him tell no one yeah those those options you gave me mike i like them a little bit

48:24more suspect hands that might be a little uh damp yeah i think i would go waddle and and burdened but

48:32i would play jameson over diva are you playing waller over isaiah likely tucker craft over likely

48:41yes because i want to see a regular game script with james what actually happens uh tucker craft

48:48craft got eight targets played all the snaps i can tell you i i mean i have these two guys i i have

48:53craft in the lineup okay i the fact that there could be some rain in this one and i feel like waller is

48:59still super touchdown dependent has me on the craft side but he is my start of the week so i

49:05think that he will get targets with no coker we'll see uh atlanta like when coker left the targets did

49:13not go to ted rowe mcmillan they went to darren waller yeah they did and and the snap counts have

49:17gone up for him 35 44 51 through the three weeks man these trends atlanta one and two mike's new

49:25orleans saints at one and two that's right vegas line norleans minus two and a half they're at home

49:30in the dome i mean i just need my team to finish yeah the over under here 47 and a half i mean the

49:37saints don't feel like a one and two team no and they've been in every game last week against the

49:43you know last week against andy's uh raiders yeah that was exciting and fun they beat the ravens on the

49:51road they almost beat the lions on the road they've they've been very very good i'm surprised

49:56this is only a two and a half point i see i'm completely opposite really yeah i think atlanta

50:01wins this ball game and i hate i hate to say that because because the atlanta falcons i think the kansas

50:06city chiefs beat your raiders so take that okay took it personally uh the reason being jason is that

50:13the falcons um we have one game one game of actual genuine reliable data on them and they beat the

50:22packers 35 to 14 so i i and it was in green bay so they went on the road and beat it beat an offense

50:27shut down an offense that we thought would be a lot better than that 14 points so i i think the falcons

50:32are a little reborn under michael pinnix i think it will be a battle i think that the line i'd probably

50:38throw it as more of a coin flip so but i do think it'll be fun i mean i cannot wait for this game

50:44this is awesome i mean we saw a very impressive offensive performance from what almost two 200

50:50yard players in london and bijon under with michael pinnix and this should be really funny i mean

50:55there's nothing i'm scared about from the saints defense like i'm not benching or worried about any

51:00offensive players other than kyle poopoo how far down does does kyle poopoo go as far down is drake

51:08london toilet drain goes wow until we get something do you want one i got you go for it uh a man who

51:18currently is i mean yes i'd play mark andrews no go on i wasn't gonna go okay a commanding a 19

51:26target share his name is tj hawkinson who is in a plus matchup

51:31i mean i bring him up because i have him one spot out of kyle pitts has scored zero points

51:40two points and one point the only thing that matters kyle pitts has 20 receiving yards yeah

51:46the only thing that matters is the last game you're gonna throw those first two out just like you said

51:49but the last game was one point and we've seen with uh kyle sits man yeah we we have seen

51:56games last year yeah you gotta be careful hold on this was give me the spotlight again oh no i mean

52:04oh it's the story i left him out uh just i want to include him i'm sorry i've apologized for a few

52:10players i'm sorry about this one i'm an idiot kyle pitts is not good enough that is all

52:17we now return to your regular you know who's good enough juan johnson is devon vele is chris

52:23is and the report yesterday which is you know how i expected to go not effective but it's going to be

52:31what happens alvin alvin camara is supposed to quote carry the load for this offense yes and i agree

52:36that that will be the plan the falcons are actually quite good up front against running backs right now

52:42running the running back position is averaging 10 and a half points against the the falcons camara i

52:49think is an okay volume play because he's that's not he's not a traditional running back but i do think

52:56that kendra miller should be on the bench of all 12 team rosters yeah i mean you could say that

53:04camara is going to carry the load and then you could make a decision when it's not working to go change it

53:08but jason your start of the week shock daddy himself oh yes yes i think this game i'm not

53:14anti-saints by the way i just think it's gonna i know i think it's gonna be a sick awesome monday

53:18night divisional battle you have crazy talent on both sides of the ball here big plays yeah i'm

53:25excited i expect this game to hit the over and be a a really fun game so i want pieces in it i mean

53:30obviously the pieces are pretty easy the the biggest question of do i start or not is really just the

53:38camara kendra miller saints running game is anybody good enough to start this is not a

53:44plus matchup so or david montgomery i'll go montgomery i know you would i'm andy if i'm half or full

53:53give me camara give me camara i i'm grossed out by montgomery right now i'm not sure what he has

53:59we did see uh an update on well i think it came from coach right from from killing more that he doesn't

54:07expect jordan tyson to start practicing yeah next week because that's the earliest he could have his

54:13practice window open and they're not expecting him to be on that short term ir which is you have to

54:17miss four weeks you can't do anything but your practice window they could open it up this was

54:22always what i actually expected seems like it won't open yet you only have certain options on ir and when

54:27he hurt the hamstring for a second time and he had already like been out an extended period of time

54:31and then he hurt it at asu and he was none of it was four weeks you know what i mean none of it was

54:35like a quick turnaround so that's where my hesitation has been on on tyson is that as a team that's

54:42performing well on the offensive side of the ball already right like tyler shucks doing good things

54:46leads the nfl in dropbacks completion of pass attempts you take time on your rookie to make sure

54:51you don't re-injure the thing he's been hurt three times in a row on yeah i do agree but injury

54:56updates davante smith not seen practicing on friday he's almost certainly not playing now deandre

55:01swift though oh there we go is expected to practice on friday so there's a little update for

55:04you that's big news in case you thought you had monungai by himself which we talked about at the

55:09top and then terry mcclaren popped up on the injury report with a hamstring uh for the first time

55:14rashad white listed is out officially if terry mcclaren is considered more limited um i'm perfectly fine

55:21putting stefan digs i think stefan digs is a fantastic start targets will be there yeah targets will be

55:27there into the face off we go

55:29fantasy face off presented by prize picks

55:36well let's start this segment by saying that uh once again amazingly incredibly

55:46unpredictably jason has whiffed on the easy green goblin pick each goblin it's been my nemesis

55:55i can hit all the hard ones i can't get the goblins granted i didn't i wasn't the loser this

56:00yeah i don't know you yeah i appreciate you trying to shield me from some protection my my picks were

56:07bad last week i didn't hit my goblin no so uh we have a will of shame and it's not jason yeah and it's

56:15not me that's been

56:16wheel of shame

56:23all right give me the wheel spin it spin that shameful wheel man yeah it's deserved uh let's

56:34see we got pigskin i don't blitz breath punt goblin dumb cluck careful with that one whoa

56:42so then i'm sitting in the cluck chair oh very nice yeah all right i guess that's true we took it

56:51easy on you this week did you mike yeah you got a big head this isn't getting on oh dude seriously

56:57you could do it oh this is tough yeah you're fine you got a whole face hole yeah you can breathe and

57:04everything getting it off you guys wear this is this is taking it light i appreciate it yeah but

57:09we're gonna need the jaws of life to get this removed that's true yeah once it's over the the jaw

57:14can't come off all right we are jumping into week four my quarterback this week is my green goblin

57:24bryce young in that sunday night football game 179.5 passing yards i am taking the more you're

57:33going to need to throw to keep up with the lions i don't care about the rain okay i hope you don't

57:39because now i'm rooting for rain yeah i didn't care about the rain with my jameis pick last week

57:47until sunday showed up and i went i very much care about this rain i am going to a lot of jameis in

57:52there too for my quarterback i'm going with lamar jackson okay and i think that the baltimore

57:59ravens have um an easy road ahead against tennessee i am taking less than 27 and a half pass attempts i

58:07don't think that's not a green goblin is not a green goblin no i think that's a good one don't

58:13think that he's going to have to throw the ball i thought about the the less on his actual passing

58:18yards yeah so so i'm just i'm just purely curious now that you mentioned it what his past attempts

58:23have been 25 31 and 20 so he was already under that number yeah interesting i think that's a great

58:29pick yeah i'm gonna go with cj stroud oh yeah against the dallas cowboys because i don't

58:35yardage i don't believe in david montgomery or the running game for houston 242 and a half passing

58:40yards for stroud i'll take the more okay nico yeah with nico back hopefully yeah we uh we're moving

58:46to running back i am going to uh the the number went up just a little bit this morning but i stuck

58:53with it aaron jones minnesota running back who's got all the work i'm taking 66 and a half rushing

58:59yards and i am taking the more on that one it makes i think you're gonna break off a couple runs and be

59:04there in a jiffy and be in the lead that does make sense i have bad news for both of you guys

59:09uh-oh is this your green this is my green goblin oh no this must be a player we care it's a player you

59:15guys like it's jeremiah love i'm going more than 39 and a half rushing yards which of course

59:22he will get oh this is this is unfortunate people it's 39 and a half rushing yards they've given him

59:28all the work the matchup is great everything is perfect for an easy layup green goblin but you're

59:34on three on them but i'm on three on my green goblin so but it's not oh crap i just realized another

59:39problem with it i was gonna say it's not jordan love but you kept the love oh no you kept the love in

59:44there it's been jordan love killing me and i went j love again oh that's a problem mike who's your

59:51running back so we have a this one's wild because we have the same player and the same ah i know i

1:00:01know exactly same specific specific yeah you got no no i don't know man with specificity the same

1:00:09yeah sure that's what you just talk but i got in earlier projection i got in earlier than you did

1:00:14because i got aaron jones at 64 and a half rushing yards ah actually andy had him at 64 and a half as

1:00:22well and i made him move it because the line moved this morning well you didn't say nothing to me i

1:00:26apologize i didn't realize we can't have different lines there yeah you guys are both at 66 and a half

1:00:30yeah yeah we have the same thing oh okay cool we'll just do that live yes sir all right no no

1:00:37i sent it over to him and then he hit up one of us this morning yeah i did yeah and then you walked

1:00:41in and you said sounds like you said 64 and a half al said you have a lot of crossover he's like it's not

1:00:50this it's correlated yeah those are those are pretty correlated we need our listeners to get the same

1:00:55number all right and that's at 66 and a half which i i gave him permission to move this morning i do i

1:01:00do like taking and i got in at the same time as you brother that's on me my fault and yes andy had

1:01:06it at the same time i apologize for my underling oh okay this is why you got demoted josh sees

1:01:13everything he would have told me all right 66 and a half aaron jones is where we're out there my wide

1:01:17receiver guys with protest sure yeah whatever i mean if you want to if you want to argue with them and

1:01:24move me back to 64 and a half i'm i'm just saying if we get 65 i'm gonna be upset oh there will be

1:01:30riots quentin johnston oh huge i'm gonna guess less but i'm going reception well of course i think

1:01:38they're gonna make the move out of quentin this week now maybe the lad thing is gonna blow this up

1:01:43on me less than three i mean oh that's danger yeah that takes normally nine targets to get that's

1:01:50dangerous yeah i was gonna say it's not it's not targets he's got to catch it in order to

1:01:54uh count against that that statistic uh my wide receiver dj more more than 46 and a half receiving
