Week 2 Studs & Duds + Trade Drama, Bye Guys! | Fantasy Football 2026 - Ep. 1976

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

0:21Welcome in!

0:30The Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright, Andy Holloway.

0:45Wow.

0:48Another weekend.

0:50Didn't quite escape the injuries like we did in the first week.

0:54No.

0:54We should have seen it coming after week one.

0:56It always gets you.

0:58Yeah, it'll return to the mean.

1:01And it was very mean.

1:03It was very mean.

1:05So much to talk about today.

1:07We got Monday Punday.

1:08We got NFL news, studs and duds on the show.

1:12I'm sure we'll have potentially some injury updates even throughout the episode.

1:17But happy to have you with us.

1:19The community over there at jointhefoot.com, the ultimate dashboard helping you weave your way through

1:24each and every week, the start-sit decisions, all the premium in-season tools.

1:29I mean, it was an adventure.

1:32I mean, we were here on Sunday morning watching the rain, watching the fiery heat, 157 degrees on the field.

1:41I think it was like just last week, Jason.

1:45Andy's like, I like at least four games to be ruined by weather.

1:49Per year.

1:50You got it in.

1:51Per week.

1:51Well, quota filled.

1:53Yeah.

1:54Quota filled in week two.

1:56That was week two.

1:57Last week.

1:58Last week, we were Big Dome.

2:01Yes.

2:01I'm speaking on behalf of Big Dome.

2:02You, yes.

2:03Please.

2:03We were very kind in saying that what the Buffalo Bills have done with their stadium, we might accept.

2:11But this was a real big week for Big Dome.

2:13Yes, it was.

2:13I mean, there was a lot of rain around the country, and there was a lot of poor football.

2:18See, you guys talk a lot about, oh, rain doesn't affect anything, and you spent the whole morning complaining about the rain.

2:23Well, it was rain and wind.

2:25Yeah.

2:25No, there wasn't a lot of.

2:27There was two of the games, yeah.

2:29Okay, so it was the wind that when the ball hit them in the hands, that's the wind that caused them to drop it.

2:34Wait, are you arguing for Big Dome right now?

2:37I'm so confused.

2:37No, I'm just saying you say a lot about rain being no big deal.

2:41Okay, Big Dome is officially changing.

2:45Rain is a problem.

2:46Okay.

2:47Rain, rain, go away.

2:47So you're accepting?

2:49I'm accepting your argument on behalf of Big Dome.

2:53Put a move on it.

2:54Welcome to the team, Andy.

2:56Maybe I'm just a little bitter because every one of the players that I recommended this offseason decided to get hurt within five seconds of the season starting.

3:03It was a real problem for you.

3:06Your nickname, if you're new to the show, you got.

3:10Once upon a time.

3:11Once upon a time, you were known as the Fantasy Reaper because you had a knack for getting guys injured.

3:19Yeah.

3:19If I didn't get them injured.

3:20You got them injured.

3:21If you like someone.

3:22This is your fault.

3:23That means that the Grim Reaper is slowly trailing them and he's going to get them.

3:28Yeah.

3:29So let's just recap here.

3:31Your fantasy MVP left to right here, Alec Pierce.

3:37Yeah.

3:37Golf with crutches yesterday.

3:39That's cool.

3:39Your three my guys were Dajon Stribling.

3:42Out.

3:43Lad McConkie.

3:44Barely survived.

3:45Injured barely in.

3:47And currently he's playing.

3:48And Caleb Williams got injured out.

3:51It's possible that Caleb had the most severe one week injury of all time.

3:55Yeah.

3:55We're not really sure yet.

3:56But it looked like maybe career in.

3:59It's sure.

3:59On the field.

4:00Tell me one thing.

4:03Who do you like right now?

4:06I'm not mentioning my players on my team.

4:09Well, like who?

4:09I like Jay Flowers.

4:12He's just going to mention all Mike Scott.

4:13I like Dalton Cade.

4:18Kenneth Walker.

4:19Do you like Ken Walker, Andy?

4:20No comment.

4:21I overpowered him with Kenneth Walker, Jason.

4:24We're good.

4:24Okay.

4:24Yeah.

4:25I mean, we had.

4:26That's a powerful statement.

4:27Look, I guess.

4:28I'm sorry.

4:29Also.

4:30Apparently if your number is in the mid-teens, you're also in jeopardy.

4:34I'm looking at the board here.

4:3514, 15, 15, 18.

4:37Maybe like I'll pick up my guy in a different.

4:39Yeah.

4:40Obviously it's all tongue in cheek.

4:43It sucks that, you know.

4:44It's just terrible.

4:45Terrible time.

4:46By week two, all four of your guys went down to injury.

4:50But, you know, Ladd will be back.

4:52Ladd looks great.

4:53Caleb Williams seems like he's going to be back sooner rather than later.

4:57TBD.

4:57So, yeah.

5:00And then last week on Friday, there was some drama around the studio.

5:03And by drama, I mean our producer screaming his head off for eight to ten hours.

5:09Also, for Glenn, I know Jeremy and I can look a little bit alike.

5:15But I got accused of some things in that video of which I am not in.

5:19A lot of people were like, I knew Jason was the one who drops all the first words.

5:24Yeah, he's the potty mouth.

5:26I'm not in this video.

5:27I saw comments, oh, just like Jason to be in the fridge in the background.

5:31That wasn't you either.

5:32Oh, man.

5:33That was our developer.

5:34They were really trying.

5:35That's true.

5:35He looks too much.

5:36Is that Schneider?

5:37Yeah, Schneider, me and you.

5:38I mean, me and Schneider, our team name in the league of record is dead ringers.

5:43Yeah.

5:43Because you look like each other.

5:44And then, yeah.

5:45So, you know, I'm just going to bring something up here.

5:48And I'm not saying that I am against it because I find it as a form of respect.

5:54But basically what happened on Friday for the three of you that didn't see the screaming video that went out all over social media, I made a very fine trade, normal trade in our league record.

6:06In fact, I don't think it's a good trade for me from a value perspective.

6:10It's a good trade for me because my team had one weakness, tight end, and I traded Kyle Pitts and two picks, a second and fourth round pick.

6:19In our key context is needed for the picks.

6:22Yes, but it is the best pick that you can trade a second.

6:25You cannot trade a first.

6:26But it's a three-keeper league, so it's effectively a fifth.

6:29So, again, it is.

6:31But we've seen these trades with the twos and the threes and the fours for years.

6:34This is not a weird trade for Tucker Craft.

6:37But the problem was is that just the day before, and you can see he's still.

6:41Oh, man.

6:42There is heat coming off the top of his head.

6:45He is not over it at all.

6:46I'm biting my tongue back.

6:47He is not over it.

6:48You might not bite it for long.

6:49I know.

6:50But what happened was is the day before, apparently, there had been these internal conversations that nobody's going to trade with Andy and give him a tight end.

7:00And Papa Josh said, stay strong.

7:03Hashtag down with Andy.

7:05Which, by the way, collusion.

7:08Of which I don't care because.

7:10It would have been collusion if we made an agreement to both not trade with him.

7:14He was trying to influence.

7:15There's a hashtag.

7:16I don't know what a hashtag is.

7:17I never said that there was no agreement like we're not going to trade with him.

7:21Look, I'm not actually protesting because, in my opinion, the qualifier.

7:24The whole league knew what was going on.

7:26The qualifier of bad collusion is that an individual team benefits through collusion.

7:30This was more like I don't benefit from all of you making me public enemy number one.

7:35Yeah, let's be clear.

7:36The entire league is openly colluding against you because you are the super team and we want you to collude.

7:41It's like back when the Patriots.

7:43Not Josh.

7:45Yeah.

7:45Josh is trying to help him.

7:46So, yeah, the real issue here was that Josh and his co-manager basically in DMs told Jeremy,

7:53Stay strong.

7:53Do not trade him your tight end.

7:56We will not trade him the tight end.

7:58We will not trade him his backup for Kenneth Walker.

8:01And then the next day, they go and do it.

8:05Yeah, he was at the front of the line screaming.

8:08I mean, he's like break for him.

8:09He's like, hold.

8:10Yeah.

8:10And then he runs away.

8:12And then he homers into the bushes as all the soldiers.

8:14You guys stay here.

8:17Calvary's on the way.

8:18So, that's the context is there were people out there that were like, what is wrong with this trade?

8:21Nothing.

8:22If this trade was between two other managers in the league, nobody bats an eye or even cares.

8:26Probably praises Josh for the value he got.

8:29It was the fact that there had been this, like, Al has, he has Trey McBride and Kittle.

8:35So, I obviously am trying to go for his extra tight end and he's just slamming the reject button over and over and over.

8:42And then the next day, his, and it didn't help that Tucker Craft's on his hometown team and he loves him.

8:48But that's what happened.

8:49So, that's the context for it.

8:51It wasn't that bad of a trade.

8:52They just want me to lose real bad.

8:53But, you want to know why?

8:56Because, again, in our league, a really good score is 130, 135.

9:00You should win.

9:01You scored 175 last week.

9:04You are currently at 179 with a player left and with Tucker Craft doing nothing.

9:10So, yeah, your team is stupid.

9:11All right.

9:11We once again put out the call for the Monday Punday.

9:15It was, I mean, I went through them this morning.

9:1899.999% negative.

9:21It was a terrible week.

9:23Because injuries, disappointments.

9:26Rain, bad football, not a lot of touchdowns.

9:28We were going into halftime of the early slate and it was like, who scored?

9:34There was Derek Henry.

9:35Yeah, Travion Henderson.

9:37It was like nobody.

9:38Yeah, and then, again, a bunch of the negative ones were about injuries, which I avoided.

9:42But, you know, it was a bad day for a lot of people.

9:46The nice thing is maybe your opponent also had a bad day.

9:49So, let's jump into it.

9:51Let's get sophisticated.

9:51And we'll start with some good, like, Boss Allen.

9:55Oh.

9:56I got him.

9:57Yeah.

9:57And you had CeeDee Lyon making an appearance this week.

10:02How about the Boston TD party?

10:05I like that one.

10:06Yeah, that's a good one.

10:06James Cookin as well.

10:08Yeah.

10:08We also had some big Dak energy this week.

10:12Chris Oswave.

10:14Yes, he was awesome.

10:15And the American Najigbo Warrior.

10:18That's right.

10:19And my dude, Travion Winderson.

10:22Yes.

10:22Amon Ra Saint Crown.

10:24And then Devante Swish.

10:27He was awesome this week.

10:28They were all good.

10:29No.

10:30Drake Mayday.

10:32Yeah, we got to have some conversations here.

10:34I'll take this one.

10:36Colston Hateland.

10:37Yeah.

10:38And this week, despite 21 carries, it was Ashton Empty.

10:42And you had Mazda Marr.

10:44Hey, I like a good Mazda.

10:46Mazda Marr.

10:46Oh, you got to do that to Mazda.

10:48Yes.

10:49Oh, Tucker, crap.

10:51And Dallas got hurt.

10:53Oh, he did.

10:54Travis Ain't Jan Jr.

10:56That's good.

10:57Fuck.

11:00Oh, man.

11:02This is what Jason used to.

11:03Justin Church Squirt.

11:07Justin Church Squirt.

11:08We're not above it.

11:09We're not above it.

11:10Oh, you hate a bad church squirt.

11:13Terror Lawrence.

11:14What?

11:15Uh, loser burden the third.

11:17Yeah.

11:17Uh, bad McConkie.

11:19And why not finish it out with Alec Dears.

11:23Justin Church Squirt?

11:25Come on.

11:25I thought you'd appreciate that one.

11:27Alec Tears.

11:28Oh, man.

11:30Yeah.

11:30Hashtag Monday Ponday every Sunday night.

11:32Share it on Instagram and on X.

11:34What?

11:35Yeah.

11:36Yeah.

11:36We, we, look.

11:38The Chargers.

11:39What did I say last week?

11:41If they lose this game, back to back at home, Cardinal Raiders.

11:45They might not win again for the next seven weeks.

11:49They, looking at their schedule, I think there is a real chance.

11:54Buffalo, Seattle, Denver, Kansas City, Rams, Houston, Baltimore.

11:57Five of those seven on the road.

11:58They go 0-7.

12:00This team starts 0-7.

12:02They look broken.

12:04No, that would be 0-9 if they lose all those games.

12:06I mean, that is insane that Mike McDaniel, oh, man.

12:13Maybe it was his OC who's now in Minnesota.

12:17Like.

12:17If you want to be in the massive panic category, Chargers are number one on that board.

12:24But you have other teams that are joining.

12:26The Falcons look as abysmal as you can look.

12:29But Tampa Bay, they've continued their complete.

12:33I'd be more worried.

12:34Fail pile at the end of the year.

12:35As Tampa than Atlanta, who's.

12:37Atlanta has not had a qualified quarterback yet.

12:40No.

12:41I agree.

12:41No, first carry of the game by Cooper Rush fumbles the ball.

12:43I mean, just.

12:44They also have great teams that have stuff to worry about.

12:47I think the Lions have looked.

12:49You know, they almost lost week one.

12:52You could argue they should have lost week one.

12:54They look shaky.

12:54They've lost some people on defense.

12:56And if you look at the record, you know, pre and post Ben Johnson leaving that team, it's.

13:03You know, you lose a great mind.

13:05It's going to hurt you.

13:06You see all the blobfish second and 10 runs this past week.

13:10He loves it.

13:11We do live in a highly criticized world here.

13:13Let's talk some news.

13:17News and notes from around the league.

13:19Puka Nakua was.

13:25This was talked about over the weekend.

13:27Questionable for tonight's game.

13:29Added to the injury report.

13:30Hip injury and groin soreness.

13:32I don't know which one's which.

13:34McVay said groin.

13:36Didn't practice Saturday.

13:38Trending in the wrong direction, according to Shmadam Schmifter.

13:41Thank you.

13:41Game time decision.

13:43But don't worry, guys.

13:44In one of my leagues, I.

13:45Look, I just didn't want to mess around with Puka.

13:47Didn't have an option to pick up on.

13:48So you played one of your good bench guys.

13:50I played Marvin Harrison, who might be the worst player in the history of the National Football League.

13:54He will score the same as Puka if Puka sits.

13:57How many?

13:58Like, the funny thing about Marv is that after every week of every game, always.

14:04They asked the coaching staff about why Marv wasn't involved that day.

14:09And then the coaching staff comes up with some new line.

14:13You know, we didn't pass for crap today.

14:15I wouldn't look much into it.

14:16The coverage was rolling over his direction.

14:18Yeah, they played against me before.

14:20They knew what to do to shut him down.

14:21He's just so good.

14:22Guys, he's just so good.

14:24They scheme him out.

14:25Oh, do you remember?

14:26I don't know.

14:27If you weren't watching this game, you know, if it was just, if you're on Red Zone or whatever,

14:30you might not have seen the brilliant moment on the broadcast.

14:35When they.

14:36We should have taken a picture of this.

14:37The broadcast team.

14:39I haven't seen it on Twitter.

14:41Puts up this graphic comparing JSN and Marvin Harrison on the screen.

14:48Just like, hey, let's take a look at the two Ohio State guys and how they're competing.

14:53And it was like, oh no.

14:56At the moment, it was seven for 139 and two for JSN.

15:00Who put up a third later?

15:02And zero for zero for Marv.

15:04The fact that they put that graphic up just don't go.

15:06Look, I will apologize for that one.

15:09Yeah.

15:09Because I like the idea that Marv with, the fall process was LaFleur would get him going.

15:14And all the reports in the offseason were very positive.

15:17But look, I'll eat that one.

15:18That one's not an injury.

15:19I can't control the injuries.

15:20I can control whether I ever mention Marvin Harrison as a start again.

15:24I think the junior.

15:26Yes.

15:27Respect to the old man.

15:28The hard part for Marv is, look, we're in our small sample size.

15:33We're in our two games.

15:35It seems like the Chargers might just be very bad.

15:39You had the Cardinals upset with the double digits spread.

15:43And then they're like, oh, well, maybe the Cardinals are okay.

15:47But then they have to play the Seattle Seahawks defense, which is elite.

15:52And so moving forward when they're playing bad teams, I guess Marv will still be bad.

15:58Yes.

15:58Yeah.

15:58That was the summary of it.

16:00I mean, it's targets are earned.

16:02We've said that.

16:03So like targets are staff.

16:04It is important because you have to earn the target.

16:08You have to get open.

16:08You have to be in the right spot.

16:09You have to trust you.

16:11You have to have your head around watching him.

16:13Just watching him.

16:15Every play.

16:16He has no, there's no world where you can throw him the ball.

16:21Mike, your son is in high school football right now.

16:24Is there any coaching strategy to when the play is not drawn up for you in particular,

16:28just take the play off at wide receiver?

16:30Is that what they teach?

16:32Oh, no.

16:32Just take the play.

16:33Oh, no?

16:33Oh, no, they don't.

16:34Does that clue the defense in on maybe where the ball is going to go if somebody just barely runs?

16:39Lolligags?

16:40Yeah.

16:40Lolligags down the field.

16:41I'm so ashamed of him.

16:44Yes.

16:45Oh, there he is.

16:45We got the graphic on the screen.

16:47And they, oh, man, just bodied him right on the broadcast.

16:52Why?

16:53I love a good dunk.

16:56But why are we doing that?

16:57He's our DK Metcalf.

16:58I wish.

16:59To much.

17:00To he who.

17:01DK Metcalf is so much better.

17:03I mean, but a player who has all the physical gifts and abilities, but something in the motor

17:09or energy or, you know, something is missing there.

17:13I don't know what it is.

17:14We've had enough years.

17:16They showed Marvin Harrison's first two games each of the last three years.

17:20It's a decline.

17:22Marvin's not improving.

17:23He's declining.

17:24The Cardinals had to go pay Michael Wilson.

17:26Trey McBride gets all the targets.

17:27Kendrick Bourne is more involved on a weekly basis.

17:29I'm sorry.

17:29I could talk about it all day.

17:30Yeah, yeah.

17:31I'm honestly just disappointed.

17:336.5% targets per route run.

17:37Ew.

17:38All right.

17:38So Puka tonight.

17:39Look, if you have Puka and you're riding dirty into this evening, Malachi Fields, Terrence

17:43Ferguson, Tutu Atwell, these are your game day, game time pivots.

17:49Those are the options.

17:50So you could take a shot.

17:52Hopefully you did the smart thing like we say every week.

17:54Put them in your flex position before the week begins so you have the ability to go put

17:58in whatever if Blake Quorum was sitting out there or Singletary or some emergency player.

18:04But I'm going to blitz the injuries here, guys.

18:06If you have a thought, jump in real quick.

18:08DJ Moore day to day.

18:10Expected to practice.

18:11AC joint sprain.

18:12Caleb Williams, carted off.

18:13Hamstring injury.

18:14Bears optimistic that they've avoided serious injury.

18:17MRI today.

18:18They have not even, they're not even ruling him out for this week yet, but he'll probably

18:24miss a couple.

18:26Saquon Barkley missed most of the game on Sunday.

18:29If you watched, it was a lot more Will Shipley than it was Tank Bigsby from a snap count perspective,

18:34but it was not Saquon.

18:35MRI for a stinger to evaluate his neck.

18:39Jadarian Price left with an injury, chest injury.

18:43Optimism that he avoided significant injury.

18:45It wasn't a great day for either of the Notre Dame running backs that came into the league

18:52that played each other.

18:53It was a great day for Emmanuel Wilson.

18:54It was.

18:55J.K.

18:55Dobbins exited with an injury.

18:58No, no.

18:58Hamstring.

18:59He said.

19:00It's just a little.

19:00He said he was going to play 17, and this one counts.

19:03Yes, it does.

19:04So if he gets back you for week three, he can still be a man of his work.

19:08But I will say that it gave opportunity for Jonah Coleman, who looked great.

19:13Jonah's probably the number one pickup.

19:14Stole, you know, the Broncos won the game.

19:17He got a touchdown.

19:19Yeah, I think we got waiver show tomorrow.

19:21We'll work through all the rankings.

19:23I think Jonah Coleman's near the top, but I think Josh Downs is too.

19:26Sure.

19:26With the Alec Pierce injury and the fact that Keenan looks absolutely donezo.

19:33Like, Josh Downs got a huge target share.

19:35I, you know, Pierce is going to be out for a while.

19:39I mean, he left with an ankle foot injury.

19:41X-rays were negative, but he left on crutches.

19:44And it's his surgically repaired ankle.

19:46It's a nightmare.

19:47And he just got paid.

19:49This one sucks, too.

19:50I mean, there's been a bunch of them.

19:52Jonathan Brooks re-aggravated his groin injury, went to the medical tent,

19:55was getting consoled by Chuba Hubbard.

19:58I mean, not good.

20:00For a guy with the injury history that he has, yikes.

20:04Jaden Daniels.

20:05Yeah.

20:06Left with the dislocated left elbow.

20:08It looked like it was the same exact thing.

20:10I don't know how he doesn't have a brace on.

20:12I just don't.

20:13Yeah.

20:13From what I understand, and they said this on the broadcast,

20:15he doesn't have a ligament in that elbow anymore.

20:19So I don't.

20:19It can just flop around.

20:20Well, I mean, or whatever happened with the injury and the surgery

20:24or whatever that happened.

20:26I don't know.

20:26It's like sometimes people live without an ACL like Papa Josh back there.

20:29I don't know.

20:29Maybe.

20:29Maybe.

20:30He didn't get the surgery.

20:32And I don't know.

20:33Then where'd it go?

20:34I don't know.

20:35It just exploded.

20:36Maybe I misheard.

20:37Okay.

20:38If he didn't have surgery, I don't think the ligament disappeared.

20:40But that's what somebody said.

20:42And clearly this thing can flop out of place anytime he puts his left hand on the ground.

20:47How are you not in a brace?

20:48I don't know.

20:50It's a non-throwing elbow, and we don't know how long the prognosis will be.

20:53It's a bummer.

20:53He was playing very well.

20:56We'll get more news soon, but I would expect he's going to miss a month at least.

21:00Yeah, it seems like it.

21:01J.K. Dobbins, we talked about Rico.

21:03Turf or a toe injury.

21:05Sorry, it could be turf toe.

21:06Returned in the second half.

21:08Jaden Reed.

21:09This was scary.

21:10Left on a stretcher.

21:11Neck injury.

21:11Compression impact to the top of the head.

21:14Did have feeling in his extremities.

21:17He's a very scary one.

21:18Probably going to miss time in concussion protocol, I would guess, at least a couple of weeks.

21:24But don't know yet.

21:25So, Demarcus Robinson, high ankle sprain.

21:28He's out for a while for the 49ers.

21:30They're going to have to sign somebody because Mike Evans exited with a hip injury as well.

21:35Again, doesn't appear to be serious just like everything they said about every injury he's had all offseason so far.

21:40I will say that they were trouncing them by the time he left.

21:45So, I can't imagine.

21:47Like, if he had a non-serious injury, he would probably not come back.

21:51And he didn't.

21:52So, there is a chance that this actually is not serious.

21:55And by the way, he does have, this would be Jaden Daniels' left arm, he does have a ligament.

22:01They're just all completely torn and unrepaired.

22:03So, that's what it was because he had basically the Tommy John injury in the left elbow.

22:10But they chose not to do surgery.

22:12It's not his throwing arm.

22:14But structurally, seems like a problem if those things are meant to be, you know.

22:19Yeah.

22:20Not doctors.

22:21Seems like he should have had the surgery.

22:23Perhaps.

22:24Caleb Douglas, walking boot.

22:26Dolphins rookie.

22:28There's an offense that doesn't look good.

22:30And a schedule that looks even worse.

22:33Yeah.

22:33They're going to be really up there for the number one pick.

22:37I mean, I believe they play, oh yeah, Kansas City this week.

22:42And then Minnesota.

22:44And then Cincinnati before the bye.

22:45Who, but if you haven't been paying attention, Cincinnati's defense looks fantastic.

22:49My Bengals.

22:50We're looking good.

22:51The Bengals defense really does look like they're a regular NFL defense that can shut someone down,

22:59which we haven't seen that in a minute.

23:00So, Jaden's prognosis is can rehab for a few weeks and return with a brace for the rest of the year.

23:05Or you can have surgery in the offseason.

23:07Or you can have surgery now and the season's over.

23:10Oh, man.

23:12So, I'm sorry.

23:13Commander fans.

23:14It's not going well.

23:16Nope.

23:17Dallas Goddard, right knee injury, right after he was performing well.

23:20I'll say, like, if Saquon misses time and Goddard misses time, they were real close to losing that game to the Titans.

23:28They should have.

23:29They looked so bad.

23:31I mean, the Eagles looked.

23:33Only Devontae Smith looked good in that game, too.

23:35Yeah.

23:37Where's Lemon?

23:38I mean, he's slithering somewhere, man.

23:41I actually think Makai Lemon, from what I understand, I think he ran more routes than Dontavian Wicks.

23:47It's just all the targets.

23:48I got a snake, man.

23:49All the targets went to Dontavian Wicks.

23:51That is correct.

23:52David Njoku and Charlie Kohler, to add injury to insult.

23:57Cool.

23:58Gast is back.

23:59Both left early against the Raiders.

24:01Kohler was with an arm sling after the game.

24:04Njoku was carted off.

24:07So, yeah.

24:07Arande Gadsden, who scored, right?

24:08I mean, back into the conversation.

24:11And, my goodness, there you go for the news.

24:14We'll take a break.

24:15We'll turn it positive and talk about the studs before we hit the duds.

24:25All right.

24:27Man, what a week.

24:29Let's get into it.

24:31This week's Fantasy Stud Muffins.

24:36Like I said, waivers show tomorrow.

24:40And if you want custom waivers for your league, that's in the ultimate dashboard at jointhefoot.com

24:46if you want to get in there.

24:48Top five scorers of the week.

24:50The top two were on Thursday.

24:51Josh Allen and Jared Goff, one and two.

24:54Dak, Mahomes, and Purdy finishing it out.

24:56Purdy was one intentional.

24:58He was one intentional grounding throw.

25:00I think from the first hundred perfect QBR in the history of the NFL.

25:05That's how efficient his game was.

25:07I think he was 15 for 16 and absolutely just carved him up.

25:12It seemed nonchalant.

25:13But look out next week for Brock Purdy.

25:18Stairs on the Cardinals.

25:20Oh, man.

25:22Purdy's really good.

25:23And he got to play the Dolphins whose defense is as good as their offense.

25:29Yeah.

25:30Well, look.

25:30Purdy was the start of the week.

25:32Dak was the start of the week.

25:34Nice to see those guys in the top five.

25:35You know who looked like maybe behind Purdy, maybe the second best quarterback of the week.

25:39Dude.

25:40Yes.

25:40Or on the Sunday at least.

25:41Bryce Young looked at.

25:42Yes.

25:42He was sizzling.

25:43Bryce.

25:44That's Bryce.

25:45He looked like he was having a good time.

25:47This is unbelievable.

25:49This would be so good for fantasy if we can have, you know, a young quarterback that was

25:55supposed to be great be good.

25:57I mean, two weeks in, you can't ask for more than he did.

26:00I know that both matchups were easy-ish.

26:04You know, he hasn't faced a gauntlet schedule yet.

26:07The first two weeks, you'd hope that he could do what he did, but he did.

26:11And so that's great for Coker, for Tett McMillan, and of course, the Walrus.

26:16Yeah.

26:16You know.

26:17Do we even have it?

26:18We do somewhere.

26:20Thank you.

26:23But their pass rate over expectations, like their neutral pass rate, it's very high right

26:29now.

26:30The Panthers and Bryce Young.

26:32I didn't think it could be done, but this is incredible.

26:36Incredible.

26:38Uncrustable.

26:39This is incrustable.

26:41Tyler Shuck got it done, 252.

26:43Man.

26:44Had a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown.

26:47Leads the NFL in passing yardage.

26:48Yeah.

26:48Bryce Young just behind.

26:50Yeah, he does.

26:51Gets the Raiders and the Falcons for the next two weeks, which is great.

26:56And then maybe.

26:58Maybe.

26:59Maybe you get Jordan Tyson back.

27:01But Vele has looked good.

27:02But Vele has looked good.

27:02Jawan Johnson has looked good.

27:04Olave is a machine.

27:06So this is a very exciting offense.

27:09And, you know, he rushed the ball nine times.

27:11So for fantasy football.

27:13And they won on the road.

27:15This is a team that was like a play.

27:18One play.

27:18One play.

27:19From being 2-0 on the road against the Lions, on the road against the Ravens.

27:24With one of the worst halves of football I've ever seen a quarterback play.

27:28Yeah.

27:28Right now, the game goes on.

27:31And Shuck has gotten better over the back half of these games.

27:33They were down 17-6 at one point.

27:35Baltimore, I thought.

27:38Like, the Saints are lucky they caught Baltimore with the diminished weaponry.

27:42But they also played well.

27:43They did the thing that I don't understand it.

27:46But it happens so much over the last 10 years.

27:50Where all of a sudden, the team that has Derrick Henry loses a game that they were winning.

27:54Because they stopped giving him the ball.

27:56It was like he was dominating them.

27:58And then they gave him, like, five carries in the second half.

28:01And lo and behold, it was worse.

28:05Yeah.

28:06And a shout-out for a competent performance by Cam Moore this week.

28:09Kirk Cousins was great.

28:10He was on the fantasy face-off on Friday.

28:15And then Drew Locke also, where credit is due, really just executed the offense to perfection.

28:21It was.

28:21It was five carries for Derrick Henry in the second half.

28:24That's not okay.

28:25What are you doing?

28:26He was so good in the first.

28:28I mean, I guess that game got tied up pretty quick.

28:30But still, it was just too much on Lamar's shoulders.

28:34Well, the top five running back scorers of the week were familiar names.

28:37It was all the big boys.

28:38Jonathan Taylor, Kenneth Walker with no touchdowns.

28:42CMC with two of them.

28:43James Cook with one.

28:44And then Jameer Gibbs with one.

28:46Big boys doing the work.

28:48I mean, Kenneth Walker right now, Mike, you want to wax poetic for a second?

28:51I mean, it's just been majestic.

28:53He is exactly who I thought he was.

28:57We have a tweet from NextGenStats.

28:59Kenneth Walker III forced 15 missed tackles in week two, exceeding his career high of 14 that he set in week one.

29:08Walker has forced 14 or more missed tackles three times since 2024.

29:12The entire rest of the NFL has done so twice.

29:15You might want to start playing people against the Colts.

29:18The Colts have given up, I believe, the most yards through two games to start a season ever.

29:24It's not good.

29:25But also, I mean, they played Henry and Walker, so it's...

29:28Yeah.

29:29Tough matchups.

29:30But the utilization of Walker is incredible.

29:3410 targets.

29:35It reminds me very much of what we saw last year from Christian McCaffrey, where when you can be the second highest scorer on a week and not get a touchdown...

29:44Yeah.

29:45How...

29:46Oh, and he had three chances on the goal line.

29:47How do you have bad games?

29:49He did.

29:49It feels impossible.

29:50It's injury or he's awesome.

29:52Yeah.

29:52Let me ask you this question right now, because he got into the end zone.

29:56Rashi Rice did.

29:57But the targets, the utilization, it's been different.

29:59And by the way, Travis Kelsey looks slimmer and faster than he looked last year.

30:04Would you trade Rashi Rice away on the high of the touchdown this week?

30:08We would have traded him away on the high last week.

30:11Yeah.

30:11Yeah, probably.

30:13He...

30:13Did he get a touchdown this week?

30:15I think his touchdown was week one.

30:17This week, he was four for 83.

30:20Oh, yeah.

30:20Yeah.

30:21More yards.

30:22Oh, my bad.

30:23I don't think you have to force him away, but...

30:26Six targets this week, too.

30:28I'm willing to.

30:28I'm willing to move on.

30:30He also had...

30:31Didn't he have, like, a complete garbage play?

30:34Wasn't it, like, right before the half or something where he got...

30:38I'm trying to remember.

30:39There was some play...

30:40Yes.

30:40Oh, yeah.

30:40...on Hail Mary where he got, like...

30:42It was a complete throwaway, like, 30 yards for free for nothing.

30:45Yeah.

30:45It was, like, instead of the Hail Mary, they just threw it underneath and let him run for

30:4830, 40 yards.

30:50Let's talk about Amari and Hampton.

30:5123 carries, 94 yards, a rushing touchdown, a fumble.

30:55Another fumble.

30:56Another fumble.

30:56And this fumble cost him the game.

30:58He leads all running backs in yards after contact.

31:00We watched this game.

31:02We watched them all, but we watched this game closely, and, like, when he gets moving downhill,

31:07he breaks through people.

31:09Here's the wild thing about Hampton.

31:11One of the differentiators between him and A-chan, to me, was, hey, you want running backs on

31:17a good team.

31:18I'm not sure that that's what he is going to be.

31:21Yeah, that was part of the...

31:23Because the next seven weeks is a gauntlet.

31:24So, I liked what I saw, but I don't like the fact that this team can't move the football.

31:29He looked really, really good.

31:31He had a fantastic fantasy output.

31:33Yeah.

31:34They used him in the screen game, and, I mean, you can't ask for him to do much more other

31:39than not fumble, but it's funny to think, like, maybe he's on a bad team.

31:44Yeah, it's...

31:46I think the actual player, the metrics look good, but the team looks bad.

31:52Derrick Henry got it done as well.

31:53You're not getting targets for Hampton.

31:55No, that's been...

31:56And, you know, that's a problem.

31:59McDaniel coming over, I think the biggest surprise for me is the lack of running back targets.

32:06Like, was that...

32:07It's funny, because the two targets he got, I think, were both play...

32:11Like, they were designed plays.

32:13I remember one of them was a really nice play.

32:16Totally designed for him.

32:17It's the checkdowns that aren't coming.

32:19Like, that's where I would expect, especially with what we've seen the first couple weeks

32:23from Justin Herbert, who has been a checkdown machine.

32:26When he had Austin Eckler, it was like, oh, let me check this ball down.

32:29Things are getting hairy.

32:30Let me check this ball down.

32:31He's not doing that.

32:33And he needs to be doing that.

32:34Well, and here's something to think about, because I was just looking into this.

32:38Part of the thought was, hey, A-Chan got a bunch of work in the passing game, because

32:42Tua loves to check it down, and Malik doesn't, and it was Mike McDaniel.

32:48And then, well, Mike McDaniel is going to come over here and throw the ball a bunch, so

32:50I'm Ryan Hampton.

32:52Right now, A-Chan's on pace for more targets this year than last year with Mike McDaniel

32:57and Tua Tungabailoa.

32:58He's on pace for 93 targets.

32:59Last year, he had 85 targets.

33:01Sometimes it might be it's the player that overwhelms the situation more than the scheme,

33:06because, you know, I was expecting more passing game work from Hampton as well.

33:10Yeah, we all were.

33:11And Keaton Mitchell has been involved, so, yeah.

33:15I mean, I don't think Hampton is somebody you panic on right now.

33:18No.

33:18I think he's going to be a solid running back, but when you don't win football games, it's

33:22unlikely he'll be a top five type of contender.

33:25You're talking probably on fringe running back one range right now is how I'd look at him.

33:29Yeah, that's fine.

33:30Like, would you trade?

33:31I mean, I would certainly rather have Jente than Hampton.

33:34Right now.

33:34I would rather have Jente than Hampton.

33:36And I don't feel like we felt that way in the draft period.

33:38So, wide receivers, big names as well.

33:41JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Amon Ra, Jamar Chase, and Devontae Smith.

33:45I didn't think Amon Ra could get passed, and he got passed by two players this week.

33:49JSN with three touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb with two touchdowns, and looked, I mean, CeeDee Lamb

33:55has looked great.

33:56I didn't get any puns in there for George Pickens, but they weren't good.

34:01Yeah.

34:01It's been a slow start.

34:03Yeah.

34:04Other performances by maybe smaller, you know, expected players, Stephon Diggs, Trey Tucker.

34:12Cody White.

34:14Yeah.

34:14Yeah, Cody White, who is a Raiders wide receiver.

34:17Two touchdowns on two targets, which is wild.

34:19He was elevated from the practice squad.

34:21But, you know, Diggs has scored twice.

34:24Do you think the Atlanta Falcons wish they had someone like Kirk Cousins?

34:29Yeah, of course they do.

34:30Yeah, man.

34:30Of course they do.

34:31Just like all the teams that ever had, like, Jacoby Brissett and are throwing out Cooper

34:35rushes of the world.

34:36I mean, it's rough.

34:39Denzel Boston through two weeks.

34:41Wide receiver 18, wide receiver 11, playing every snap, scoring both weeks.

34:46Yardage went up to 95 yards.

34:49Denzel Boston, man.

34:50So, week one, it was kind of a late-game, garbagey, 50-yard bomb touchdown.

34:55But he still caught a 50-yard touchdown.

34:58It was great.

34:58This week, he broke tackles.

35:01Oh, man.

35:01I felt bad.

35:02His touchdown was awesome.

35:03His touchdown was awesome.

35:04He's really looked like a man out there.

35:06Yes.

35:07He's going to be an important pickup.

35:09It's tough to rely on, you know, the Browns passing game.

35:15But you bet on talent for rookies, and he's shown it so far.

35:19The shot of a gun.

35:20Yeah.

35:21I mean, he got it done.

35:23The Watson steals a win.

35:26Had...

35:27He didn't have a bad game.

35:28How...

35:28He didn't have a bad game.

35:30How on earth does Tampa Bay not win that game?

35:33I mean, that's...

35:34You have a bajillion-hour delay.

35:36There's two minutes left, and all you've got to do is score a touchdown.

35:39I haven't seen a quarterback look worse on deep balls this year than Baker.

35:43Yeah, I mean, that was...

35:44Sean Watson, by the way, through...

35:46Go ahead, Jay.

35:46I was just going to say, when they came back, it was pouring rain.

35:49He was...

35:50You know, the weather really affected that game.

35:53That's what Baker was talking about.

35:54Why'd they throw it deep on every play then when they came back?

35:56That's what Baker said after in the press conference.

35:59He was basically saying, you know, we're connecting on that.

36:01The balls were really slick, and I probably shouldn't...

36:05He said afterwards, he probably shouldn't have been throwing it deep and should have

36:08been checking it down.

36:09Yes.

36:09But hindsight's 20-20.

36:11He didn't do it in the game.

36:12No.

36:12The Sean Watson was 24 for 30 with 80% completion, 238 and 2, no turnovers.

36:17The opposite of whatever hindsight is...

36:19What do we call this?

36:20Foresight.

36:20Sure, foresight of just watching it in real time, going, what are we doing?

36:25You just...

36:26You have half a field to go, and you have two minutes to do it.

36:29Third and 15, you're going deep.

36:31So that you can have to go deep again on fourth and 15?

36:33Ridiculous, man.

36:34All right.

36:35That team is the number one contender for midseason firing.

36:38By far.

36:39Sure.

36:40Because they almost did it in the offseason.

36:41They fired everybody else and let Todd Bowles stay around, and they look terrible.

36:45Hey, Jalen Waddle, there you are.

36:46Eight for 138, Jalen Waddle.

36:48This was the game...

36:49We got at least one bounce back.

36:50This was the game we said was the perfect test.

36:53Like, the perfect type of defense where it's average.

36:57It's not a bad gimme team.

36:58It's a team that can score.

37:00Does Jalen Waddle command the targets?

37:03And he did.

37:04Double-digit targets.

37:05Eight receptions.

37:06138 yards.

37:07That week one in Kansas City, Kansas City just shut down the Broncos.

37:13I'm throwing that in the garbage, and I think Jalen Waddle's going to be very, very good

37:17the rest of the season.

37:20I think Deshaun Watson was the fourth highest passer rating of the week.

37:26I don't think it's going to be Shadur at home this week.

37:28No, it won't.

37:29Tight ends?

37:30Is that what we're moving to?

37:31Yep.

37:31Travis Kelsey, number one.

37:34Oh.

37:35And he looked great.

37:36He just did.

37:37And they don't...

37:38I don't think the Colts know how to play defense.

37:40I really don't.

37:41Because there were multiple, like, breakdowns where Travis Kelsey is just left wide open.

37:49Nobody covers him.

37:50Kenneth Walker is a...

37:53It's a problem for everybody else's defense.

37:56Like, Travis Kelsey will remain very startable.

38:01No.

38:01Because everyone...

38:03You have to be terrified of Kenneth Walker.

38:05Yeah.

38:05And that's what they wanted when they went out and got him.

38:08Dalton Schultz.

38:09Oh, the doctor said.

38:10Mike's start of the week.

38:1212 for 140.

38:13Ha-ha!

38:14It wasn't Noel.

38:15It wasn't Hutchinson.

38:16It wasn't Booty.

38:18It wasn't John Wayne.

38:22Whatever.

38:22I don't know his first name.

38:23That's not nice.

38:24I would love to know it.

38:25I just don't.

38:27Dalton Kincaid, 19 points.

38:29Jake Ferguson got in the action.

38:31He took the spot of Pickens.

38:33Jared.

38:33Jared Wayne.

38:34Jared Wayne.

38:35It's not that far from John Wayne.

38:36If you're wondering where George Pickens' production went, it went to Ferguson this week.

38:40And then Darren the Waller is, you know, three for 33-2.

38:44That's kind of what he did last year in Miami.

38:46It was touchdown central for him.

38:48Did you see what I tweeted this morning about the numbers for Tyler Warren are ridiculous?

38:55Oh, yeah.

38:56He is, Jason, through two weeks, he has nine catches for 34 yards.

39:02Gross.

39:03Yeah.

39:04Colston Loven's like, I could never get that.

39:06No.

39:06I mean.

39:07But he's had a touchdown in both weeks.

39:08He's had a touchdown in both, but 13 yards and 21 yards on three and six catches.

39:12It's wild, dude.

39:13I will say that the target share, it hasn't been abysmal.

39:18Five targets week one, seven targets this week.

39:21I expected far more.

39:24Well, maybe with Pierce out, maybe you'll get it.

39:26Yeah.

39:26I mean, you know, this is a player I think who should be, you know, really getting 10 targets

39:31a game, but you've got to prove it.

39:35Happy or sad here.

39:36I'm going to blitz them real quick.

39:37Top 12 tight ends by ADP.

39:38Happy or sad.

39:39Brock Bowers.

39:40Sad.

39:41Trey McBride.

39:42Super happy.

39:43Colston Loveland.

39:44Whoa.

39:44Super sad.

39:45Tyler Warren.

39:47I think you're happy.

39:48Tucker Craft.

39:49I guess because of the touchdowns.

39:50You'll be all right.

39:51You knew what you were signing up for.

39:53You're neutral.

39:54Sam Laporta.

39:55Meh.

39:56Meh.

39:57Harold Fannin.

39:58Sad, sad.

39:59Kyle Pitts.

40:00Super sad.

40:01And then three in a row late round tight ends.

40:04You ready?

40:04George Kittle, Dalton Kincaid, Travis Gelson.

40:07Yeah.

40:07And then Dallas Goddard, now injured.

40:09Yeah, he's hurt.

40:10So.

40:11All right.

40:11We'll take a break.

40:12We'll talk duds.

40:16All right, Foot Clan.

40:18And whether you are on the go or at home, T-Mobile, well, they're built to keep you connected

40:22wherever you're scouting your fantasy team.

40:25And that on the go part, that is important.

40:27With America's Best Network, you'll be connected to the latest news and player projections.

40:31So when you're on the clock, you can draft a winning team.

40:34I can think of so many situations where that element of being connected while you're on the

40:38go is fundamental to fantasy football success.

40:41I'm in the midst of multiple leagues right now where I am responding to trade offers.

40:45We are massaging the trade offer.

40:47We want to make sure that I'm the one that gets the player, not another player manager

40:52in our league.

40:53So trade offers when you're on the go, all the news that's breaking so you don't make

40:57a mistake.

40:57And my favorite thing, maybe I'll mention it.

40:59Look, you're sitting and you have a quiet moment somewhere out and about.

41:03You want to jump in the UDK.

41:05We got the player profiles.

41:06You can watch all of those in there with T-Mobile.

41:08You can jump in on the player projections and our stat projections and all the 130,000 words

41:13of content.

41:14Again, T-Mobile making that easy to do.

41:17Every bit of news.

41:19Things are changing all the time.

41:20New player contracts, all that good stuff.

41:22So from off season to game day, every play is better with T-Mobile.

41:26What you got to do is visit T-Mobile.com slash network.

41:29Fastest is based on analysis by Ookla of speed test intelligence data of national speed

41:35score results for the second half of 2025.

41:38The best mobile network in the U.S. is based on analysis by Ookla of speed test intelligence

41:43data, second half of 2025.

41:51Pooked in his big boy pants.

41:53Where do you think Justin Turd's court came from?

41:59We have a segment that's literally called pooped in your big boy pants.

42:03We're not above it.

42:05I will say this, man.

42:06Nobody helped Justin Herbert this week.

42:0815 for 27, 192 and one through two picks.

42:12I mean, there are interceptions that are your fault and there are interceptions that are not

42:16your fault.

42:17He had one of the not your faults in this one where I believe it was Bren Thompson juggled

42:22the ball 15 times and threw it into the air.

42:24So many drops, but also, you know, barely 50, 50% completion percentage for him with all

42:32those drops.

42:32I mean, I don't know.

42:34He's a mess.

42:34You can, if you're, if you're looking at, will you drop him?

42:37Yeah, go ahead.

42:38The next seven weeks are a gauntlet.

42:40Yeah.

42:41Yeah.

42:41I mean, you're, you're, you would, you would much rather have like a pretty might even still

42:44be on your waiver wire.

42:45People just never want Brock Purdy.

42:48Uh, did, did you get an update there?

42:50Ben Johnson, according to Adam Schefter, four minutes ago, Caleb Williams will likely miss

42:54some time.

42:55Okay.

42:56Makes sense.

42:56Uh, week to week.

42:58So you, you figure we, we haven't heard the official ruling, the grading, but assuming

43:04this is like a grade one hamstring that you would expect him to miss two or three weeks.

43:09Um, hopefully not go on IR and be back in a month and be exciting again.

43:14Drake may 14 for 22, 208 yards, no touchdowns.

43:19He's not going to be good until AJ Brown comes back.

43:23I think the loss of Stefan digs and booty being replaced by AJ Brown, who is not there now.

43:31It just seems like he really doesn't have someone reliable to go, uh, you know, to, to pass

43:36the ball to.

43:37Yeah.

43:38It's like Hunter Henry.

43:40No, it hasn't.

43:41I mean, it hasn't looked good.

43:42Trevor Lawrence, 17 for 29 for one 89.

43:46It was a really down day for Trevor Lawrence.

43:50Lamar Jackson didn't have enough help.

43:52In my opinion, 21 for 31 to 35 and one, one pick barely ran the football.

43:57And you know, knows the fact that they flowers.

44:00If you just remove him and this is possible, like Mark Andrews is toast.

44:05I mean, that dude is not, not a game changing asset in any way.

44:10And without Jacoby lane, who would have had a huge chance, you were throwing the ball to

44:15what was a Webster.

44:17Yeah.

44:17Bateman had a big day.

44:20He finally came through on the promise of like Rashad Bateman always is the, he should

44:26be good.

44:26He should be good.

44:27Why is he not good?

44:30Yeah.

44:30I want to go back.

44:31I want to go watch the second half of that game again and just figure out what happened.

44:36Cause it seemed like everything in the first half was going to be perfectly fine for Lamar.

44:40Yeah.

44:40He got off to a hot start.

44:42They, they jumped out to an early quick lead fell asleep at the wheel.

44:46Yeah.

44:46I will say it for, for teams like with the Patriots and with the Ravens, when you have one alpha

44:55wide receiver and not a lot behind him losing that guy, it seems very similar where it's

45:00like he really did not have someone reliable.

45:04Jordan love 16 for 29 for 144 and two Jordan love was in the other one of the weather.

45:12Jason, I hate this guy now.

45:13Jason is, I hate him.

45:14Jason is going to get, you guys were just crushing everyone in that game, but no one

45:18was good.

45:19But neither off about that.

45:21Like this is about our prize picks lineup where two weeks in a row, I'm going to, I'm going

45:27to be shamed.

45:27Shame.

45:28But the reason, the reason why I'm shamed.

45:31Look in the mirror, bro.

45:32Sure.

45:32No, it's, it did bring it up.

45:34Yeah.

45:34But my point is it's both weeks, Jordan love on the green goblins, which are like the,

45:41the, the gimme's a hundred and he couldn't throw for more than 145 yards against the

45:46jets.

45:48Nope.

45:49Boom.

45:51I mean, I guess Jane Reed is everything to Jordan.

45:56It was a bad week for that entire matchup.

45:59Yeah.

45:59I think I'm mostly throwing that game away.

46:02Yes, I am.

46:03Uh, Baker Mayfield 21 for 34 for one 82.

46:06Um, boy, when he runs around like crazy and completes passes, he's pretty cool.

46:11When he runs around like crazy and airmails, everybody not so cool.

46:15Again, bad weather, but it's not, it's not just been recently.

46:19He hasn't scored 20 fancy points since week 10 of last year.

46:22Second half of last year, the bucks looked bad.

46:25He looked bad.

46:26Their offensive line looked bad.

46:28Yeah.

46:28I mean, it has followed through to this season.

46:30Watson had a great game in the bad weather, so he didn't make good decisions.

46:33I think, I think the downfield side and a Buka.

46:35I mean, we're going to have to talk about it.

46:37Uh, Dave and Montgomery.

46:38Oh boy.

46:39Six for 10.

46:40All right.

46:41The Montgomery argument.

46:42We're one, one road to one.

46:44Yeah.

46:44I mean, this, this one without Nico, I mean, it was, it was really, you're playing the run

46:49in this game.

46:50Um, it feels like that would be like, I mean, without Zay flowers, you're playing the run

46:58right with Henry and he was fine.

47:00Yeah.

47:00But Henry is, uh, that's where it is.

47:02Yeah, exactly.

47:03It's a level.

47:03David Montgomery is, is a, uh, this is a opportunity play.

47:08Like David Montgomery is good enough to capitalize on a good situation.

47:13All right.

47:14Just wild.

47:14When your quarterback puts up 350 yards.

47:18Let me, let me ask you a question.

47:20All right.

47:21Do you want me to press this button with Travis H and junior?

47:24Oh yeah.

47:25Oh yeah.

47:26Oh yeah.

47:28Yeah.

47:29Full panic.

47:30It's also ridiculous what the team, I mean, what are they doing?

47:37Eight carries 25 yards for the context to two targets, two catches for six yards, tons

47:42of Camara on third down.

47:44Um, John Daigle pointed out that the saints gave Travis H and junior $28 million in guaranteed

47:49money.

47:50And Kenneth Walker received $28.7 million in guaranteed money.

47:54And the share of backfield touches through two weeks.

47:57H and is 57% and 40%.

47:59Camara would have more opportunities.

48:01You can't even blame him.

48:03Camara.

48:04They just went out and they paid a ton of money.

48:08They paid a ton of money to bring this player in.

48:12And while he was there, they brought a withered old off of injury, Alvin Camara and had him

48:19play with with withered.

48:21That's a tough one.

48:22Didn't they cut his money?

48:24What's that?

48:25Yes.

48:25They cut his money.

48:26Yes.

48:26To make him stay.

48:27They gave him nine rushing attempts.

48:30Camara.

48:31While he turned it into 15 yards, 1.7 yards per carry.

48:36But don't worry.

48:37They also target him six times in the in the passing game where he turned that into seven

48:43yards.

48:44Dude.

48:45What?

48:45What are you doing?

48:46H and was all the way up at three yards a carry.

48:49It.

48:49That's who you got to give the ball to.

48:50One of the funnier.

48:51They gave him 15 opportunities.

48:53Yeah.

48:53It's nuts.

48:54Funnier tweets of the weekend.

48:55Front of the show.

48:56Josh Norris was like, is the Travis H and junior contract.

48:59Are they laundering money?

49:01Because why on earth would you give a running back?

49:05And they won.

49:05That.

49:06I don't care that they won.

49:07No, I don't.

49:07They care.

49:08They're making.

49:10Yeah.

49:10I bet they wish they had the money for a different position.

49:12We spent a year on rational coaching last year with Charbonnet and Ken Walker.

49:15This one.

49:16There is no way they were doing the right thing with Ken Walker.

49:18And yet they won.

49:19And so they kept doing it.

49:20It's just this.

49:22This is panic.

49:23I don't.

49:24HN is not.

49:25I don't understand what they're doing.

49:25He's not even positioned to be in RB2 right now.

49:27No.

49:28He's.

49:28Well, I mean, he's not.

49:30I don't think he's that great as, as a player.

49:34This is a player.

49:35I think Mike and I have been down on pretty much most of his career.

49:38He's had a lot of touchdown success, which has helped his fantasy outputs coming over.

49:44We were hoping that because of the money, they turned him into a three down.

49:48Yes.

49:48Kind of a bell cow usage.

49:49And they didn't.

49:50They, they were doing the same thing with Kendra Miller last week.

49:53Then Alvin Kamara this week.

49:55They, they are not going to seemingly make him the engine of the running game.

50:02Yeah.

50:03Through two games.

50:04He has six carries in the first half.

50:05That's total.

50:07Okay.

50:08Jeremiah love nine for 29.

50:10It was a.

50:11Another one.

50:11Okay.

50:12It was a bad game against a great defense.

50:15Cardinals, I think through for about 115 yards.

50:18It was.

50:19This game was nasty.

50:20Was it tied at half?

50:22Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven at halftime.

50:24I thought maybe.

50:25Honestly, the Cardinals came out.

50:27They looked great for the first half as far as like, you know, one big play, one play,

50:31one broken play for JSN and 83 yard touchdown.

50:35And, and then it was seven, seven at the half.

50:38The Cardinals imploded and the Seahawks took over in the second half.

50:43But I, I also think part of that, something happened with Jacoby Brissett because he came

50:47out in the second half and could not get anywhere near a receiver.

50:52I mean, uncatchable target after uncatchable target.

50:55And so it was all three and outs.

50:57The Cardinals didn't have any time to possess the ball, which meant, you know, it's like

51:02you say, okay, Jeremiah love all.

51:04They're still involving Tyler Algier.

51:06He didn't do it.

51:07Tyler Algier had five carries.

51:08They, the Cardinals had no, the Cardinals did not play offense in this game.

51:12Yeah.

51:12Javante Williams, are you, what are your thoughts on Javante through two weeks?

51:16It looks bad.

51:1712 for 30.

51:18Looks horrible.

51:1912 for 30?

51:21Yeah.

51:21And his big run come back?

51:23Did that get called back?

51:25What was his long on the week?

51:27Oh, it had to have gotten called back.

51:28His long says it was nine yards.

51:30This is what, I remember like a 30.

51:31Oh, it did.

51:32I remember it now.

51:33It did get called back.

51:34He had a very, very long run.

51:35Right after I was dunking on him.

51:37Yeah.

51:37So he needed some holding to get him there?

51:39Yes.

51:39It's, Amari DiMarcado, well, I mean, I don't know how high up people will be talking about him,

51:46but longer term, if you're the Cowboys, I know you gave Javante the money.

51:51You can't keep doing that.

51:53They'll keep doing it for a while.

51:54They'll keep doing it.

51:54For a while.

51:55He played 80% of snaps.

51:57They won the game handily.

51:59Dak was awesome.

52:00I don't think they look at anything bad there, but I will say from our perspective,

52:05the juice that is required for fantasy points, he is not showing it.

52:10By the way, that was the, to roll back to the Cardinals and Jeremiah Love,

52:13that was the first time that the Cardinals did not complete a 10-yard pass since 1987.

52:18This game started with three or four targets to Trey McBride.

52:21He was my less pick on Friday for under 60 and a half yards.

52:27And through about five seconds of this game, I'm like,

52:29that is the dumbest pick I've ever done.

52:31I don't think he caught a pass in the second half.

52:32Something had to have happened to Brissette.

52:34A Theo Mackie tweet.

52:36Brissette had to get injured because he went from week one.

52:39I thought Brissette was seeing ghosts, man.

52:41And the first drive.

52:42He was so uncomfortable.

52:43Of this game just looked like, just looked like what he did last year.

52:47And then from that point on the rest of the game, he couldn't,

52:51he couldn't hit the backside of a barn.

52:53Quinch on Judkins, 12 for 21.

52:55Tried really hard, though, on all of them.

52:58He tried so hard on all of those runs, guys.

53:00He did.

53:01He is much more involved in the passing game now that Dylan Sampson's been out.

53:04Five catches for 27 yards.

53:05We'll take five targets.

53:07Ramondre fumbled.

53:09The only thing you can't do, Ramondre.

53:12And he fumbled.

53:13And then Trevo scored.

53:15It was a, how long was that run?

53:1740, 39 yards?

53:19Something close to that.

53:20So he had a 39-yard run.

53:22Got a bunch of work after that.

53:25Trevion was 16 for 76 and a rushing touchdown.

53:28Looked great.

53:29I mean, obviously, the fumble that Ramondre had seemed like, you know,

53:33that took his utilization down.

53:35He only had six carries.

53:36He was 2.3 a carry on his other 15 carries.

53:40That's what you get.

53:41That's the Trevo experience.

53:42You get the chance at the big play.

53:45But between the tackles, you end up, I mean, like, Ramondre was not bad

53:47between the tackles.

53:48Six for 43.

53:50But he fumbled.

53:50And then Trevo gave them juice.

53:52And look, the offense is kind of weird and broken right now in New England.

53:55I still do not understand why they are not getting Trevion Henderson involved

54:00in the passing.

54:01Receiving work.

54:01Put him out in the slot.

54:03Yes.

54:03Put Ramondre in the backfield and put Trevo in the slot.

54:07I agree.

54:09And then, you know, Bijon did his best.

54:11Yeah, that's another.

54:12And his best is okay.

54:13He tried so hard and he's so good.

54:15But when you don't have a quarterback, and right now the Falcons do not have

54:19a quarterback until one of Pua gets back there.

54:22You might be able to end that sentence right there.

54:24They might not have a quarterback.

54:26We got to remember that, like, before the injury, like, Tua was going to get

54:31this job.

54:33Yeah, but I can't imagine.

54:34I mean, Cooper Rush.

54:35Jack Strand doesn't look good.

54:36No, but that's what I'm saying.

54:37Cooper Rush and Jack Strand, they're so incompetent, incapable.

54:43I know, but, I mean, I think Penix is a bottom third starter.

54:47But he's a starter.

54:48Yeah, okay.

54:50Ashton Gentry, he tried hard as well.

54:5121 for 48.

54:52They won the game, 4 for 15 in the passing game.

54:55Just didn't get into the end zone.

54:56Chase Brown, 20 for 80.

54:57Putting him here.

54:58That's rude.

54:59This is not a dud.

55:01That's rude.

55:02And they were up so much.

55:0520 for 80, like, that's a good game.

55:07Yeah, that's fine.

55:07And the Bengals were up.

55:09Brooks, that's rude.

55:10So much that where you usually get a lot of passing work from Chase Brown.

55:14No borderline duds, Brooks.

55:15One of your picks was the receiving work for him.

55:19And they just, they didn't need to throw.

55:21They wanted to run the clock out.

55:22My prize picks, I had Chase Brown in there.

55:24It was 21 or 21 and a half receiving yards.

55:27He got two, which I believe Chase Brown had been basically over 21 forever.

55:34We didn't talk about Burrow because he didn't have, like, some kind of superstar game.

55:38But the target shared wide receivers got fixed this week.

55:42T. Higgins and Jamar Chase.

55:43If you haven't seen the Jamar Chase, his first touchdown, it is electric.

55:47It's one of the best catches I've ever seen.

55:50He had the ball thrown across his body.

55:54He had to basically do a 180.

55:55He was falling down.

55:56He was falling down.

55:56He was falling down.

55:57And had to get his feet in somehow.

56:00And he did everything perfect.

56:02Just unbelievable catch.

56:04All right.

56:05Wide receiver duds.

56:06Tell me if you want the button for any of these guys.

56:08Drake London.

56:09I'm four for 51.

56:10I don't want the button yet on him because, again, I think things don't get good, but get

56:16significantly better when they get a quarterback there.

56:20Well, it's time to have this conversation.

56:21Roma doings a Luther burden.

56:22Rome, three for 43.

56:25Luther burden, three for 32.

56:27I mean, that's their wide receiver two and three on their team.

56:30Yeah.

56:30I always say the, I don't want to hit it, but the biggest panic is the utilization right

56:36now of Luther burden, of him not being a full-time player.

56:40Like, it certainly sounded like he was going to be.

56:45Khalif Raymond, man.

56:46The stats of that game are, I talked about it on Sunday Live because that was the,

56:52that was the weather report game of, oh, no, this weather of this level of rain and this

56:57level of wind is going to come in and it's going to be a disaster for fantasy.

57:01And the fact that Luther and Colston Lovin were bad in week one and now they're like,

57:06they're not going to be good.

57:08Nobody's going to be good in this type of a weather.

57:10I mean.

57:11But it's the, it's the on-field stuff that he played.

57:15You should be scared.

57:16He played 57% of snaps.

57:18Khalif Raymond was at 62%.

57:21Raymond was five for 40.

57:22He's not going to be a startable asset ever.

57:24No, no, he's not.

57:25But he will ruin people.

57:26But so will like Colcomat.

57:28And like, look, the fact we're talking about a Duns-A burden in Loveland, they scored 59

57:34points in week one and they didn't do anything.

57:36You're going to lose Caleb Williams.

57:38Like, this is, this is totally, you should not, there isn't a lot of copium here in this

57:44situation.

57:44Like, burden, I absolutely believe burden in a Duns-A will have a better fantasy year than

57:49Khalif Raymond.

57:49Yes.

57:49Both of them will.

57:50I completely agree.

57:51And they will be way potentially below your expectations, hopes, and ADP.

57:56The fact.

57:56Yeah.

57:56If Khalif Raymond continues playing 50 plus percent of the snaps, that is not going to

58:02do it for him.

58:03But it will ruin Luther Burden because Luther Burden will not be playing 85% of the snaps.

58:09Zaccheaus was on that team last year, right?

58:10Yes.

58:11Correct.

58:11And he was playing ahead of Luther Burden.

58:13Well, I'm looking, it's like 60, he's, he's got the exact same role.

58:16I mean, 60, 60% of snaps.

58:19So 53 was the average on the year for Zaccheaus, but he missed a couple of games with injury

58:24and left one early with injury.

58:25He basically played the exact Khalif Raymond snaps.

58:28The process from Fantasy Bros.

58:31This offseason was that now it will be Luther Burden.

58:34Now that he's not a rookie, we saw him kind of explode at the end of the year.

58:38He will be a full-time player.

58:40Obviously, he's drafted as like the wide receiver 15 earlier in the offseason before the injury.

58:44We were out then.

58:45Yes.

58:46Yes.

58:46When he started dropping, it looked more reasonable.

58:48And I don't think that this is a guarantee that he can't get there this year.

58:53He's still got the targets.

58:56Yeah.

58:56Like, it's just the route share of.

58:58Yeah, he had more targets than Raymond.

58:59Of Khalif Raymond running more routes than Luther Burden is just so, so bizarre.

59:05But don't overreact.

59:07Do not overreact to what we're saying about Khalif being involved.

59:11This game was, this was the true weather.

59:14It was 9-3.

59:159-3 total game.

59:15It was also the Vikings.

59:16Yes.

59:17Vikings, great defense.

59:18They hit that nasty button, Mike.

59:19Great defense.

59:21Yeah, that's what that game was.

59:22And then you had the injury to boot to finish it out.

59:24You just got to hold on.

59:25Jefferson, just 3-4.

59:2855!

59:30There?

59:30Yes.

59:32Did you hear that over there?

59:33Yeah, they heard it.

59:34That's cool.

59:35That's cool.

59:36I wish I had.

59:37I bet it sounded pretty good, huh?

59:38George Pickens, 6-40.

59:41It's been, they just haven't hit on the big play yet.

59:45Jameson Williams, 2-33.

59:46I don't want to talk about it.

59:47Mike Evans, 3-54.

59:49I feel like George Pickens right now is maybe a pretty good trade for Canada.

59:54Yeah, I agree.

59:54They missed on huge plays in week one.

59:58And honestly, eight targets, 6-40.

1:00:00It's not the end of the world.

1:00:01Every wide receiver is inconsistent.

1:00:03Big games are coming.

1:00:05Evans and Debo, they were not the beneficiaries of the perfect game, so to speak.

1:00:10It was only, what did I say, 15 completions that were necessary for Brock Purdy.

1:00:15But you want, you know, people spent up on Debo.

1:00:17He looked fine.

1:00:18They didn't need him.

1:00:20They didn't need him.

1:00:20And now DeMarcus Robinson is out.

1:00:22Like, Debo has to be a huge part of the offense now.

1:00:27Yes.

1:00:27And Ladd McConkie, by the way, 3-for-35, was not in on every snap.

1:00:31Oh, was in on...

1:00:32Very few.

1:00:33Yeah.

1:00:34I mean, this is...

1:00:35Let me see.

1:00:36Let's look it up.

1:00:36Watching it, I don't know.

1:00:38So, it looks like 46% of snaps he was in on.

1:00:41It felt like he was in on 5% of snaps.

1:00:43So, what...

1:00:44How many did you say?

1:00:4646%.

1:00:46So, here's what's wild.

1:00:48And JJ, friend of the show, you might know him from his bowl cut.

1:00:53When...

1:00:54And we've been talking about this, but we didn't have data to back it up.

1:00:57When Ladd McConkie has been off the field, the Chargers have an EPA per play of minus .41,

1:01:03which is the second worst in all of football.

1:01:06When he's been on the field, that number is .12, which is the seventh best in all of football.

1:01:12We've been saying, when Ladd is not out there, their offense looks incapable of moving the

1:01:15football at all.

1:01:16And I...

1:01:16Look, if Brandon Thompson and Trey Harris and David Njoku and these guys are going to drop

1:01:20the ball...

1:01:21Mm-hmm.

1:01:23That's all it is.

1:01:24Ladd can catch.

1:01:25I think as Ladd gets healthier, this offense will hopefully figure it out, get it together.

1:01:29But we've talked a lot about how brutal their schedule is coming up.

1:01:33Yeah, they basically protected his ribs on any play that required them to run the football,

1:01:38put him out there when there was a chance to use him.

1:01:41But, you know, until he's fully healthy, it's going to be scary.

1:01:46This next player had the best bad game I have ever seen in my life.

1:01:52Terry McLaurin.

1:01:53He dominated this game.

1:01:55He had a 35-yard touchdown, called a touchdown on the field, that then was overturned, said

1:02:03it was out of bounds.

1:02:04Then he had a wide open play in the end zone for a long touchdown that he was completely

1:02:12missed on.

1:02:13Thanks, Antonio Williams.

1:02:14Wide receiver throwing the football.

1:02:15Yes.

1:02:16Yeah.

1:02:16That was Antonio Williams throwing the football.

1:02:18And then he had another play where he had his man beat, end zone target, overthrown nine

1:02:24targets.

1:02:25Ended up with 50 yards.

1:02:27But it was, I mean, two for 50 on those nine targets where it was like, you just, every

1:02:31time you looked, it was like, oh, he's open.

1:02:34He's in the end zone.

1:02:35He's going to have a touchdown.

1:02:36No.

1:02:37What happens if your nine targets ends up with 27 yards?

1:02:39What would your name be?

1:02:40That sounds like DK Metcalf.

1:02:43That is DK Metcalf.

1:02:44Oh, man.

1:02:45And Mike, I never thought you'd get me to say this.

1:02:49Yeah.

1:02:49Uh-oh.

1:02:50He.

1:02:50Uh-oh.

1:02:51Uh-oh.

1:02:52Sucks.

1:02:53That dude sucks.

1:02:55And that offense, by the way, we've seen bad offenses in the NFL.

1:02:58That is statistically the worst offense so far through two weeks.

1:03:02The Pittsburgh offense.

1:03:03No.

1:03:04Yes.

1:03:04Statistically?

1:03:05Statistically.

1:03:06They're worse than the Falcons?

1:03:06Yeah, I think EPA per play, they're worse.

1:03:09Whoa.

1:03:09Oh, Atlanta's worse.

1:03:10Sorry.

1:03:10Okay.

1:03:10Oh, okay.

1:03:11Second worst.

1:03:12All right.

1:03:12That makes sense.

1:03:13Sorry.

1:03:13I just couldn't get past Atlanta.

1:03:15But those two are hanging out.

1:03:16You know what I mean?

1:03:17Oh, yeah.

1:03:17Like they're going out together.

1:03:19For sure.

1:03:19Yeah, yeah.

1:03:19Yeah, Rodgers is, he's like, hey, Cooper Rush, let me tell you how to play football.

1:03:23Also, that tackle on Rodgers, if you haven't seen it.

1:03:27And it's close, Jason.

1:03:28They are point.

1:03:30Oh, they're so close to being the same.

1:03:31Point zero two.

1:03:32One of them has Cooper Rush.

1:03:33One has Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

1:03:35And they're that close.

1:03:36Aaron Rodgers got hit in the back, blindsided.

1:03:40Yeah.

1:03:41And he turned into the letter, like a backwards letter C.

1:03:44You know?

1:03:45I mean, it was awful.

1:03:48I've never heard somebody describe.

1:03:50I guess that's what Tyler Shuck did on the goal line.

1:03:53They turned him into a regular letter C.

1:03:55I mean, it was.

1:03:56His face off.

1:03:57It was disgusting.

1:03:59And he popped right back up.

1:04:00But he was asked after the game.

1:04:01I mean, you have to roster Metcalf.

1:04:03Because nine targets and ten targets.

1:04:05His.

1:04:06He is leading the NFL in expected.

1:04:08The differential between real fantasy points and expected fantasy points through two weeks.

1:04:12Because he sucks.

1:04:14And so does Rodgers.

1:04:14At this stage.

1:04:15I mean, obviously, first ballot Hall of Famer.

1:04:18All-timer.

1:04:19But he does not have it.

1:04:21That team is going to have.

1:04:22They need T.J. Watt to play more positions than one.

1:04:25Carnell Tate.

1:04:25Yes, they did win the game.

1:04:26Yeah, yeah.

1:04:27No.

1:04:28Oh, that was last week.

1:04:29No.

1:04:29Oh, that was last week.

1:04:30That was against Atlanta.

1:04:32That was last week against the worst offense.

1:04:34Yes.

1:04:34The only team they could beat was the team that was somehow worse.

1:04:37Carnell Tate just three for 27 in this game.

1:04:40Uh-oh.

1:04:40It has not gotten going for Carnell Tate.

1:04:42And I don't know if it can get going.

1:04:45I hope so.

1:04:47He did lead the team in target share.

1:04:49I believe it was 29%.

1:04:51Okay.

1:04:53Yeah.

1:04:53Let's wait and see.

1:04:54You're hoping for brighter days.

1:04:55Cam Ward had an okay fantasy output.

1:04:59He did get two rushing touchdowns.

1:05:00One was on a super short field.

1:05:03The passing work still, to me, is leaving a lot to be desired.

1:05:07But, I mean, some signs.

1:05:10Some.

1:05:11Like, the flat line started beeping, you know?

1:05:14Did it?

1:05:16I'm safe for Ward.

1:05:17I think maybe the crash cart is in the other room and they're still grabbing it.

1:05:20But it was flat line and I heard a beep.

1:05:23You heard a beep.

1:05:24I heard a beep.

1:05:25You hoped you might have heard it upstairs.

1:05:26You go, beep.

1:05:27And you go, what?

1:05:28Did he move?

1:05:29I didn't see him move.

1:05:30Okay.

1:05:30Did he move?

1:05:31I heard a beep.

1:05:31I mean, I guess we'll give you that.

1:05:34Do we have a beep here?

1:05:35The conversation, I think the number one conversation people want to have, unfortunately, is this guy.

1:05:43It is Colston Loveland.

1:05:45Three targets, one for three.

1:05:48Through two weeks, he has one catch.

1:05:50His target share.

1:05:52Remember we were complaining about Burden and Adunze?

1:05:54Yeah.

1:05:55Just a second ago, it seems like.

1:05:57Yeah.

1:05:57Oh, they're doing great.

1:05:58Burden's target share is 21%.

1:06:01Rome is 13%.

1:06:02Colston Loveland is at 9%.

1:06:04And this, Loveland is, this is a real.

1:06:08It's a complete disaster.

1:06:10You can't.

1:06:11I don't even.

1:06:13I don't know what you do with this.

1:06:14You have to bench him and look for someone else while Caleb is gone.

1:06:19Oh, yeah.

1:06:20That's probably true.

1:06:21You don't believe in the secret pageant man?

1:06:23The secret pageant man.

1:06:26I feel like, Mike, you were going to have to do one of the grossest things that you could possibly do,

1:06:31which is to play Dalton Schultz regularly.

1:06:33Dude, in my head.

1:06:34Over Colston Loveland.

1:06:35In my head, I was like, would you play Dalton Schultz?

1:06:38Of course.

1:06:39Of course you would.

1:06:39And I couldn't say it out loud, so I'm glad Andy did.

1:06:42I mean, like this week coming up.

1:06:44Because it's true.

1:06:45What is happening?

1:06:47You have to wait.

1:06:47I mean, at least with Tucker Kraft, right?

1:06:48He's in this section.

1:06:50The dude's coming back from a catastrophic knee injury for the first two weeks of the year.

1:06:53In one of these games, that's the first time a team has won with under 101.

1:06:58That Green Bay game, they won by double digits, but they were under 200 passing yards.

1:07:04Like, there's some...

1:07:05They were enough...

1:07:06Oh, no, they didn't win by double digits.

1:07:07They won by a field goal.

1:07:08Kyle, find me that number because the improbability of Green Bay winning that football game was historical performance-wise.

1:07:16So, but Loveland, I mean, you can't trade him for anything close to the value you spent on him in the draft.

1:07:22I don't think you should.

1:07:23Here it is.

1:07:24The Packers were the first team since 1941 to win a game with less than 200 total yards.

1:07:28That's what it was.

1:07:28Total yards.

1:07:30100-plus penalty yards and a negative turnover margin, and they managed to win that game against the Jets.

1:07:35Gross.

1:07:36Which I think the win started right when the head coach of the Jets, Aaron Glenn, decided to do another sideline dance of sorts.

1:07:44The Packers look legitimately bad so far, and it really seems like they need Josh Jacobs bad.

1:07:51We'll see.

1:07:52But back to Loveland.

1:07:53Yeah.

1:07:53It is a hold.

1:07:55It is two weeks.

1:07:57But now you have the injury to Caleb that compounds the, like, just go back to the well.

1:08:01You haven't had the big play.

1:08:03You haven't had the touchdown.

1:08:04Look, we just said it.

1:08:06Tyler Warren has, like, very few yards on the season, but he's got two touchdowns to kind of, you know,

1:08:11let you get through to where he can start putting up better yardage.

1:08:14Mm-hmm.

1:08:15Do you think Caleb Williams saves the Packers, by the way, Jason?

1:08:18Or Caleb Johnson?

1:08:19Sorry.

1:08:19Caleb Johnson.

1:08:20I don't think that they're going to give him enough work.

1:08:22He did look like their best running back.

1:08:24He really did.

1:08:25Which I, when they got around the goal line, I was like, if Caleb Johnson gets this touchdown,

1:08:30he's so great.

1:08:31Unfortunately, it was Marshawn Lloyd.

1:08:33I, you know, they talked about he's earned more.

1:08:37They're going to get him more work.

1:08:38But I do expect news, hopefully this week, on Josh Jacobs.

1:08:43Seems like it'll be four to six games.

1:08:46And then, so I don't see Caleb Johnson's not going to be rescuing this team.

1:08:50Josh Jacobs is going to be rescuing this team.

1:08:52And Micah Parsons.

1:08:54Yeah, Parsons is the big one.

1:08:56Yeah, the targets in utilization for Loveland are just scary right now.

1:09:00Against Philly this week with a backup quarterback, I don't imagine you could start Loveland with any kind of confidence.

1:09:06There'll be waiver tight ends.

1:09:08I mean, if you don't believe, then you want to trade.

1:09:13Trade is fine.

1:09:14There's no world where you can cut Colson Loveland.

1:09:17No, but what is that trade?

1:09:21Like, would you trade him?

1:09:22I'm going to say it.

1:09:23Oh, gosh.

1:09:24Would you trade him for Travis Kelsey?

1:09:25No.

1:09:28I don't know.

1:09:29No, I still think that there's upside there later in the year.

1:09:32I'd trade him for Tyler Warren.

1:09:35No one's doing that.

1:09:36No, no one's doing that.

1:09:37That's true.

1:09:43I'd go for Jamar Chase.

1:09:45Yeah, no, I would definitely trade him for Micah Parsons.

1:09:48I don't think.

1:09:49Would you trade him for George Kittle?

1:09:52Yeah.

1:09:52Yeah.

1:09:53So, I mean, the Kelsey thing's interesting because the way this offense looks right now,

1:09:57he's not going to be coming off the field.

1:09:59The concern with Travis Kelsey is the age.

1:10:01Yeah.

1:10:02And, like.

1:10:03Wearing down versus getting better.

1:10:04Yes, Colson Loveland will get better over the course of the season.

1:10:08We just.

1:10:09Now the questions are fair of how good does Colson Loveland actually get?

1:10:15Because do we see the greatness of the playoff run or.

1:10:18It's still just two weeks.

1:10:19Or is it just completely broken?

1:10:21Yeah, I don't know.

1:10:24It's been so weird.

1:10:25It's not like this offense is bad for two weeks.

1:10:27The offense was incredible in one week.

1:10:28He just wasn't involved.

1:10:30Kyle Pitts, three targets, one for 15.

1:10:33So, the big controversial trade, guys.

1:10:36Tucker Craft, Kyle Pitts.

1:10:37I really upgraded.

1:10:38I went from one for 15 to two for 15 and a fumble.

1:10:42Yeah, it's dumb.

1:10:43That's dumb.

1:10:43You're playing for the championship weeks, the playoffs.

1:10:46Which, I mean, Tucker Craft was a guy that was off my board simply because I didn't want the slow start that we assumed was coming.

1:10:54Did you see a snap count this past week?

1:10:56No.

1:10:57I didn't.

1:10:58Was it up in?

1:10:58Until just now.

1:10:59Yeah.

1:10:59Week one, 66%.

1:11:01Uh-huh.

1:11:0298.

1:11:03Get out of here.

1:11:0498.

1:11:05Wait, really?

1:11:0698.

1:11:0698% of the snaps in week two?

1:11:08Yeah.

1:11:08Wow.

1:11:08That.

1:11:09That.

1:11:09That.

1:11:09They had fewer than 200 total yards.

1:11:12That team was.

1:11:12It was a broken week.

1:11:13They will.

1:11:14They did start the year road, road.

1:11:16They get to come home for three out of the next four.

1:11:18And boy, oh boy, they get to play Atlanta next week.

1:11:20We'll see what happens there.

1:11:22Tomorrow, a waivers episode.

1:11:24And it's going to be an important one.

1:11:25There are bigger names than last week.

1:11:27There are more injuries than last week.

1:11:29And there are.

1:11:30There's more panic in the streets on certain players than last week because you're two weeks in.
