Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, Week one of fantasy football is in the books.
How did it go for us? Well, let me just
tell you not great. It's time to review.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Your fantasy team.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here down, commissioners, it's time for fantasy freakin' football. Yeah,
this was a tough one. Week one. Thor does not
listen to his own advice, and I screwed up royally something.
I've been playing fantasy football for over twenty five years,
(00:37):
never have done this once, not once, and it just
happened to me for the first time. So you're in
three leagues, how'd it go for you?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Over three? Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
For three? Rough?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
One of the leagues, I guess got smoked. The other
two I came close, but just my guys just didn't perform.
I mean Derek Henry ten points, Jonathan Taylor ten points,
I mean Neighbors points.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And it wasn't his fault. That quarterback. Man. I told you,
that's why take him. That's why you don't take Giants' offense.
He's gonna be mileague.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Neighbors will get his to him, He'll still get his,
He'll still have a thousand yards. Yeah, there you go.
It's like it's like the Garrett Wilson thing. Like, is
he gonna be as good as I thought? Probably not.
I I knew Jones was gonna be bad. I didn't
think he was gonna be that bad. I don't know
if you watched any of the game. He couldn't run
an offense like it's almost like his he looked. He
(01:29):
looked like an old veteran who just can't play anymore.
It was that bad.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
So he kind of looked like Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron
Rodgers on Monday. He looked like he wasn't moving them
really well. Yeah, he could still slinging. He did.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
A couple of Jones couldn't even sling it. Like Jones
was like into the ground over guy's heads.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Like he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He looked incompromised, so like I didn't expect that. I
knew he wasn't gonna be good. I didn't expect that.
So we'll see, man, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So just you're you know again, it's week one, only
week one.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You don't panic, Yeah, like I I uh, like I
s there's a couple of guys who start like like
if you if you got like I don't know if
you got like Javonte Williams like I'm not panicking because
he didn't have a great game. Like he's their belt,
He's gonna be their bell cow that you know if
you got But on the other hand, if you if
you were the Colts right and you didn't throw the
ball to Michael Piman, Alex Pierce or Alec Pierce had
(02:20):
a big game, I'm not running to the waiver of
wire to pick up Alec Pierce. Yeah, three catches for
one hundred and twenty one touchdown, but that was mainly
one big catch.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Now, you know, you did make a giant missakee, which
I still I cannot wrap my head around. Now. We
do so much time, you really do. We do starts
and sits every week. Your start last week at tight
end and you were really proud of it was Isaiah Likely.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He ended the season last year with seven touchdowns. He's
a good receiver, he's a good tight end.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah. Well, he came out of the gate on Thursday
night and he had a humongous game. Would have even
had a bigger game if his toe wasn't out of bounce. Yeah. So,
I mean, what an unbelievable hall by you. Hopefully people listened,
but you didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Know I'm an idiot, so I wasn't going to start
him because I was like, because in my eyes, I
was gonna start Goddard because I still I was doing
my starts and sits based off if you had nobody
to start. So that's why I started. That's why I
said to start Likely. Well, right before the game, I
read from Matthew Berry it's moron to start zach Ertz
(03:24):
because Earth is going to be a big part of
that offense. And I'm like, all right, let me pick
up Earth. I'll just drop Likely.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well, okay again, you realize you are Matthew Berry. I
know because you tell people what to do. I know
who to start, and why are you listening to somebody else?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I was bored and I was reading too much.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was just a stupid thing to do. I will
never ever do that again.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It was ever. Well, you are notorious for being a
waiver wire guy and wasting moves on guys you're never
gonna play. You love having a big bench. I do
you ever noticed that?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I just love having a guy on the bench like
sneaky picks. I like, like, I dropped, I dropped this
running back who I'm never gonna start and picked up
the Rams running back Koby Parkinson because I'm like that
we have his tight end Kobe Parkinson, because I'm like,
you know it with four fifty five. Who knows, maybe
he'll be something. And I didn't waste waiver wire pick
on him. He was just there. I picked him up.
(04:18):
I'm not starting him, but I'm like, who knows, maybe
he'll be something.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But I mean, why would you stupid?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's stupid. I don't have three tight ends one squad.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You're addicted.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, it's weird. I love it, but I have smartened
up and I'm not wasting waiver wire if I don't
do it. So I'm I have the number one waiver
in two leagues, which is great. So I'm gonna wait,
you know, I'm gonna wait. It was really hard for
me not to waste it. I almost like wasting like
Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh jeez, well, my mess of a situation. I mean,
I still can't get over that this happened to me.
So in our iHeart league, I had the number one
overall picks, so of course I took Christian McCaffrey. I
was very excited. I'm a forty nine er fan, So
I'm very excited to have him. H You know, I
had heard, you know, the the rumblings and I and
I that he was listening as questionable most of the week.
(05:03):
He has this calf injury whatever, but all he was practicing,
so he was limited, but he was practicing. And nowhere
did you hear that he was not going to play
on Everybody was like, no, he's gonna be a go,
He's gonna play whatever, all that stuff, and so obviously
he's gonna be in my lineup. He's my number one
overall pick. Well, unfortunately for me, on Monday, I had
(05:25):
Little League practice. I'm the coach, and so I was
at Littleague. Practice started at four and it was gonna
end about five thirty. Well, you know, kick off is
five twenty, right, and so I'm locked into my practice.
I don't have my phone on me, nothing like that,
And at four there was no word yet that McCaffrey
wasn't playing, so I wasn't even thinking twice about it. Well,
(05:47):
my heart sinks. As soon as practice is over, I
get everything done, I pick up my phone and I
see a bunch of mistexts from you four who wildly
had my back, which I'm not expecting. But in fantasy
I wouldn't have expected you. That's true. And I see
you panically panicking, sending me these texts. McCaffrey's out, What
(06:10):
are you doing? Jan't make the pick. Here's what's even worse.
So not only did McCaffrey not play, I have his backup. Yeah,
I ended up handcuffing him. My very last pick in
our draft was Mason. I decided to pick him up.
I go just in case, you know, McCaffrey's heard whatever.
I know, Mason's pretty good. I'm gonna hang on to him. Whatever.
(06:32):
He was my very last pick, so I have him
and I didn't make the switch at so literally ten
minutes away and I see McCaffrey's out, So that's gonna
be a giant zero. And then of course door Mason
goes crazy. He had like twenty two points or something
like that. I won't know how many. I lost by
ten points, so I would won. I would have won,
(06:53):
and I would have had the most points in the league.
So I've just dude, it was one of the worst
feelings I've ever had in fancy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You can't get if I could.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You look at the lineup and you're just like if
he just was in it was I mean, I had
to sit there the whole game looking at Mason go crazy,
and I'm like, dude, it's unbelievable. It was. It was
pretty bad. And you know, every there's not like a
million games. Every win matters, and so to make the playoffs. Look,
I'm gonna immediately look back at this and go, I.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Know you definitely will. You did, but next time, please
have your phone on you story practice.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, hopefully I won't have a Monday practice anymore. Well
Thursday too, there's one tomorrow. Oh god, this is a
nightmare quitting. Yes it is. It was a tough week.
I did win in one league, I lost in two,
and that one of those is a ridiculous loss.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Just always remember this. What's that I was oh and
five and I had the least points in the league.
But I picked up a guy picked up another guy
went on a string, made the playoffs. So and six
you're probably done. But even if you're oh and five
is not over, not quite, not quite. So just because
you went on one O two, don't give up. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And again it's only week one, only week one. You
can recover.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Crazy stuff happens in week one.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know it did. It was tough because all the
early games I was destroying people. My My early scores
were crazy good. And then later in that Houston game,
I played Joe Mixon in two of my.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Leagues, who I don't think is going to go off
like this.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Joe Mixon is like the Joe Mixon of like four
years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
That the cults stink. I don't see them going on.
I don't see that Joe Mixon going off like this.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I just don't got a big game. But of course
it was against me.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I drafted Derek Henry over him, and I'm still like you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're still sticking with once you start doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But I just think I just think I wouldn't I
wouldn't freak out about it yet.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Like, yeah, I'm definitely not. Because I scored a lot
of points. I just couldn't beat the guy who had.
You know, he had a bunch of guys that went off.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Perfect example, people that drafted Kirk Cousins, Drake London, Kyle Pitts,
but Jhon Robinson didn't play well, but again it's their
it was their first game together. Kirk's come back from
an achilles. They played a great defense. That's that was
such a Pittsburgh Steeler type game. I'm not I'm starting
all those guys. I'm not freaking out about it. You
know I'm not gonna go Oh No, should not start
(09:15):
Drake London next week? No? Start them?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, I know, I don't disagree. All right, let's get
to your questions. We got a ton of questions this week.
You can hit us up on email, you can hit
us up on X at the show, thor at the
show Eddie. We will get to your questions every week.
This first question says, hey, guys, I'm in a PPR
league and I need some help filling in the number
one wide receiver position and one flex position. Pooka Nakua
(09:39):
went down for me. So I picked up Jordan Mason
and DeMarcus Robinson. Who should I start between George Pickens,
Jordan Mason, and DeMarcus Robinson?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I mean, uh, Mason, Jordan Mason, the Niners, the Niners
running back. It's even close.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Well, it depends. Now you be paying attention because again
it's well, he.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Play plays I saw earlier. He's a long shot McCaffrey.
So if he's a long shot. I'm starting I'm sorry,
I'm starting Mason. If he plays, I'm starting Mason. And
it's not even a question.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean especially flex spot one,
and I like Pickens. Pickens is the guy there. I mean,
they really don't have anybody else now, so they're gonna
throw them the ball. So I would definitely go Pickens
and Mason. All right. Another one says I'm in a
PPR league. My starting wide receivers are Tyreek Hill and
Cooper Cup. But who do I start in my flex
this week? Adam Thielen at home versus the Chargers, Courtland
(10:34):
Sutton at home versus Pittsburgh. I also have T Higgins,
but he sat out last week, so I'm not sure
he's gonna play this week. So basically Adam Thlen or
court God, none of them. Oh well, you're gonna have
to be.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
If I have to pick somebody, I probably do Courton
Sutton because I just that Carolina offense is so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I gotta disagree because it's PPR. Uh. They do throw
the ball to Czeeland. Still, I think he only had
like four catches last but that was an atrocious game.
I think they'll have a little bit bounce back game. No,
I don't think they're gonna beat the Chargers, but I
think Feeling is going to do pretty good. Whereas I
I you know, I was very big on bo Nicks.
(11:13):
You know, I'm drafting him, and I was on you
a hard time about bo Nicks. I do like bow Knicks,
but I'm after watching him play in Week one, I'm
not sure. Well, all the rookies didn't play well. Daniels
did because.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He ran a couple of scores, but he didn't really
play well either, which is shocking.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The preseason means nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Never how much they're raving about these guys in the
pre season.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Their rookies. Yeah, so I don't know. I'm not I'm
not a big Courtland Sutton fan. So we're split on
that one. You're gonna have to flip a coin and
go with that. PPR Aaron Jones or Calvin Ridley in
the flex spot.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So Calvin Ridley and the Jags are going up against
the Browns, they're at home.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Calvin Ridley is now with the Tennessee tennesse My friends,
why did I think it was? Because he was last
year he was in Dug so I think have Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Sorry, I have Calvin. That was a massive mistake. Will
Levis is terrible.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He stinks.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
He's the reason they lost that game. This is a
bounce back game for that Jets defense.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Ridiculous pass.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean, he stinks.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, He's not gonna be a good quarterback. There's a
reason why they drafted him in the second round.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Aaron Jones scored last week.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm taking and Aaron Jones scored last week. I know
they have a tougher match up against the Niners, but
I'd still start Aaron Jones because he'll probably get a
bunch of dump off passes.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
If it's PPR, yeah, I don't. I don't like anything
I saw from Tennessee in Week one, So I'm gonna
go with the gold standard.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, and the Jets defense will bounce back. They're not
a bad defense.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I got a half point PPR league. Who do you
like at running back? Brian Robinson or Jerome Ford.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This is tough because honestly I love both of them.
Because the Giants are terrible.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They can't stop. They can't stop anybody scored touchdown.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Which is crazy because they their defensive line should be
their strength. Burns Deck, Katie, it's not that being said.
Though I love Jerome Ford. I'm starting Jerome Ford. Jerome
Ford is their running back. Jerome Ford catches it g
Rome Ford week.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh he'll do enough. Oh he'll do enough. He'll do enough.
This is easy for me. I'm going Brian Robinson all day.
I mean, if you can't tell you, it's again his
matchups and matchup wise, I like that. I got a
quarterback question. Do you go with Justin Fields if he starts,
or Jared Goff Baker Mayfield also available.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I would go with Jared Goff. I know that Justin
Fields runs, but I like this Broncos defense. They're a
good defense. It's in Denver. I really like the Broncos,
and last year when the Lions played the Bucks, they
tore them apart. It's at Detroit. I like, and the
Bucks defense isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm going with Jared. Jared Goff tears it up. Yeah,
I mean at this point, I think he went undrafted
in one of our leagues, which is kind.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Of shock crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, Baker, listen, Baker, I know he had a nice
week one.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I just want I'm waiting to see what pump.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't know. You know he's gonna melt down at
some point. Yeah, So I'm not I'm not pulling the
trigger on Baker yet. I'm gonna go with Jared Goff
on that one. And yeah, Justin Fields, I don't trust
that guy at all as far as I could throw him.
So uh. In the final question, he says, not a question,
more of a humble brag. Literally last minute before Sunday
Night Football, I subbed in Jamison Williams for Brandon Ayu.
(14:25):
Now he got you gotta win. Actual question this week
is pick two out of these guys, Moleik Neighbors, Brandon
Ayuk or Jamison Williams.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I would go with neighbors and Ayuk. And the reason
why I say neighbors because Washington's defense.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No, Jamison Williams. Did you see the game I did,
which was my sleeper pick, right.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I did see the game, but he didn't have a
ton of catches. And I think this is gonna be
the aman Ros Saint Brown game because alman Ra didn't play,
didn't have a ton of points. They're gonna feed amn Raw.
He tore up the Bucks last year, so I think
he's gonna do it again.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, I don't know that Ayuk is fully ready. I
mean you clearly saw you know him not make that
one catch. Uh, you know, I'm gonna give you another
chance with your neighbors. Guy.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't know, just it's just because of the matchup
the Commanders second Area.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know.
But I I like James and Williams. I mean, I'm
not gonna yeah until until Ayuk I feel is fully
ready to go and fully back. I would probably make
It's probably gonna be next week that Brandon Ayuk is.
He might even be back this week. I don't know,
but I for me, i'd probably go Neighbors and Williams.
(15:34):
Could I understand what you're saying though, So it's not
it's not. I'm not like a fully you know, pound
of my fist on the table type of thing. But
that's where we're at, all right. Let's get our starts
and sits for the week. At quarterback? Who do you
like this?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I already said it. I love Jared Goff. I keep
saying it. The Lions tore up the Bucks last year.
They're gonna do it again. The Bucks defense isn't good,
and I think they are. Jared Good start this week.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, I start this week as a guy who does
look fantastic. Last week, he's got so many weapons in Houston.
I love c J. Stroud. C J Stroud is I mean,
he's an elite guy now, I mean, it's unbelievabrazy. He
had one of the best rookie quarterbacks I've ever seen
rookie seasons I've ever seen for a quarterback, and he's
just continuing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's so impressive. People don't talk about it enough. The
Texans went from David Carr, who was obviously terrible because
of the situation, then they kind of floundered. Then they
drafted Deshaun Watson. Then the next cor right, they drafted CJ. Stroud,
and they disdrafted to Shaun Watson and he was good.
So they're clearly good at picking quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, they also were so terrible they had high quart
that's true, so it's hard to miss. But they picked right.
So I like c J. Strau versus Chicago. Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
My sit this week is a guy who I'm not
giving up on yet, but I'm giving up on him
this week until I see something, and that's Caleb Williams.
I did not expect him to. He was god awful again, rookie.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And the Titans defense maybe a little better than we think,
but he was god awful. They're playing at Houston, who's
a good team. I'm not starting Kayleb Williams this week
until I see something.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, another guy that you mentioned that you said don't
freak out on, I'm kind of freaking out on Kirk Cousins.
Oh no, a little bit. Are we going with Michael
Pennix at some point here?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't know if he keeps playing like he did,
But you're right right, But I again, I don't know
that Kirk Cousins is fully back from his injury yet.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know a lot of the times it takes a
while for these guys to get back up to speed.
Take it on Philadelphia this week. I like. I like
Philly in that matchup. So I'm sitting Kirk Cousins at quarterback.
Running back? Who's your start, Jerome Ford? Do you have
Ford or something? Because you're a real too amped for
Jerome Ford.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think this guy's gonna go off this week. The
Jashaun Watson I don't know what the hell happened to
Deshaun Watson. I think the Browns are hoping he gets a.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Give you any more massage.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm hoping that. I'm hoping that this new sexual assault thing,
the Browns are hoping this new sexual assault thing goes
against the avoid that contract. I think Jerome Ford will
have a big game against the Jaguar.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I start this week is not the guy you would think.
I'm going with the other guy. Listen, you're taking on
the Giants. You're gonna you're gonna have a good day
waiting back. Sorry, it's fact. And so I'm actually gonna
start Austin Eckler this week. Really, I watched some of
that game and Eckler it took a minute for him
to get going. And I know Brian Robinson is the
guy there, which rightfully so, but I like the way
(18:22):
they were using Eckler out of the backfield catching passes,
and when they get down close to the end zone,
it's either gonna be Jadan Daniels or it's gonna be
Austin Eckler. And so I think they're gonna probably recognize
at some point we don't want to get Jaydan Daniels killed,
having him run the ball NonStop, even down on the
goal line, and see his helmet was getting knocked off.
I mean it was very dangerous. And so I like
(18:42):
Eckler to score against the Giants. I'm starting to next, So.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I have Kenneth Walker, apparently he's hurt. Do I start
Austin Eckler?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I think you should. I think you should. Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
My sit this week is a guy that everyone kind
of liked coming in. But man, oh man, I think
this team's gonna be one of the bottom teams in
the league. And I'm talking about this Zemeir wife. They're
at Baltimore. The Ravens want blood. The Ravens are going
to destroy the Raiders this week.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Again, Thorn and I do not consult on certain White. Yeah,
I don't like the matchup. I don't like the Raiders.
I don't like anything about this. So he didn't, you know,
I mean, he just didn't look that great. That offense
doesn't look that great. They don't, and so I don't know.
I don't know what to do with the Raiders at
this point. And so if you got White, I'm gonna
(19:26):
probably the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The Giants and the Panthers look like three worst who
was in the league.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I can't disagree all right, wide receiver, who's your start?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I said it. I said I didn't want to start
guys that are obvious stars. But because he had a
bad week one for his standards, I think i'man Rossaint
Brown is going to tear it up this week. Maybe
you an offensive Player of the week.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Because he's just they're gonna feed him.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
If you watched receiver, he does not like the fact
that he didn't get a lot of catch a lot
of targets, and they're gonna feed him this week.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, my start last week, sure, I had a heck
of a game Stefan Diggs. I'm gonna bring that up
every week. Yeah, I'm big stepon Digs guy. But my
start this week is a guy who had a pretty
good game in Week one, but he could have had
an even bigger game if Lamar Jackson would have actually
found him in the end zone. I like Zay Flowers
this week again taking on the Raiders. I think Baltimore
(20:16):
is gonna destroy them. So I like Zay Flowers a lot.
Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
My sit this week's a guy that you like George Pickens. No,
it's George Pickens, even though it would never start tags. Okay,
it's George then because it's at Denver. Denver's got a
sneaky good defense. So I'm and I think that they
just I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Think Thetans good and.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I don't think the Steelers offense is any good? Did
the Steelers. They're gonna win seven, and they're gonna win nine.
They're gonna go nine and eight, maybe make the playoffs,
maybe not make the playoffs, and then loose.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah. I don't disagree with you, but I am saying
that Pickens is kind of their their only guy.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, but you know, if you're in a position where
it's like Pickens or I would take the ore. That's
just me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It depends on who the oar is. My sit this
week is any Packers wide receiver. Listen, they had a
great game. I mean, all those guys were having huge
games down in Brazil. Uh, you know, but again, their
quarterback was Jordan Love, So Dobbs, Reid Watson, all those
guys ain't gonna have Jordan Love this week. It's Malik
(21:19):
or not Willis He's almost name. Yeah, I mean, I mean,
I don't understand trading for that guy. I don't care
unless they saw something that I don't know that we missed.
But he did not look good in Tennessee. But they
made a move for him, and so now he is
going to start this week. So all those guys, you know,
I had read on my bench in one of my leagues,
and I mean he blew up and so I was
(21:39):
kind of like, oh man, that stinks. Well, now I
can't put him in there because you know, you don't
have Jordan Love and so any of those guys I'm
gonna be shining away from for sure. Tight end, who's
your start?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
My start this week? He had a slow week one,
but I think he'll be back. I mean, this offense
was kind of a slow week one, but they they
gave it to the Bills. I'm talking about the the Cardinals,
and I'm talking about Trey McBride. Him and Marvin Yeah,
him and Marvin Harrison or didn't do a.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Ton Marvin Harrison him one can, which.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Is crazy to think about it. And it wasn't like
Kyler Murray played bad.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
He did they We're winning most of the game.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yes, So I'm starting Trey McBride.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, my start this week. Again, he was used
more in the run game than he was in the
past game. But I think this is George Kittle's week.
I think he has a big game taken on Minnesota
this week. I think the you know, it's so crazy
to me that that brock Purty still is getting no respect.
That guy is good. He's a good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah he listen, He's not Patrick mos not my home.
But he makes the throws when he needs to make
the throws.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
There was a couple of.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Third downs when they made he made a great throw
and I'm like, bang, that's all you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He I mean that ball he actually threw to Ayuk
that we were talking about was incredible throw. It was incredible.
He didn't catch it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Because when you look at his file numbers, but he threw.
He threw no touchdowns, no picks, two sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
They didn't need that, they didn't even need him. They
did they ran the balls.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
But also if Ayu doesn't drop that he gets a touchdown,
he looks better.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
But I think that you're going to utilize George Kittle
quite a bit this week, So I like killed this week.
Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
My sit this week. I'm going with another Bear, Cole
Comet against the Texans. It's at Houston.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I don't know. I hate the Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't trust the Bears. Man, they're loaded. But here's
what I don't understand about the Bears. You bringing in
rookie head coach of rookie quarterback. You have all these weapons.
Why keep Eberflus Why? I don't understand it. And now
roma Donda is hurt. Caleb looked terrible. I'm just staying
away from the Bears until I see them do something.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, my sit this week is unfortunate for me because
I have him in two leagues. I don't care what
Jerry Jones says. I'm not risking it. Jake Ferguson for
the Cowboys. That knee looked I thought he tores acl Yeah,
I mean I thought he was done. I was tearing
my hair out. I was really upset. But they say
it's not as bad as they first thought. Jerry's out
(23:48):
there saying no, it looks like you're going to play,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Even if he is
in there in plays, I'm not risking it. So I
am gonna sit. Jake firston at least this week against
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and if you need somebody to pick up Kobe
Parkinson from the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
God that your big waiver wire moves, give me a break.
All right. Well, we'll see if you actually listen to
your advice to speak or not. We'll see what happens.
Hopefully you go out there and get a win.
Well, Week one of fantasy football is in the books.
How did it go for us? Well, let me just
tell you not great. It's time to review.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Your fantasy team.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Here down, commissioners, it's time for fantasy freakin' football. Yeah,
this was a tough one. Week one. Thor does not
listen to his own advice, and I screwed up royally something.
I've been playing fantasy football for over twenty five years,
(00:37):
never have done this once, not once, and it just
happened to me for the first time. So you're in
three leagues, how'd it go for you?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Over three? Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
For three? Rough?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
One of the leagues, I guess got smoked. The other
two I came close, but just my guys just didn't perform.
I mean Derek Henry ten points, Jonathan Taylor ten points,
I mean Neighbors points.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
And it wasn't his fault. That quarterback. Man. I told you,
that's why take him. That's why you don't take Giants' offense.
He's gonna be mileague.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Neighbors will get his to him, He'll still get his,
He'll still have a thousand yards. Yeah, there you go.
It's like it's like the Garrett Wilson thing. Like, is
he gonna be as good as I thought? Probably not.
I I knew Jones was gonna be bad. I didn't
think he was gonna be that bad. I don't know
if you watched any of the game. He couldn't run
an offense like it's almost like his he looked. He
(01:29):
looked like an old veteran who just can't play anymore.
It was that bad.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
So he kind of looked like Aaron Rodgers, but Aaron
Rodgers on Monday. He looked like he wasn't moving them
really well. Yeah, he could still slinging. He did.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
A couple of Jones couldn't even sling it. Like Jones
was like into the ground over guy's heads.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Like he couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He looked incompromised, so like I didn't expect that. I
knew he wasn't gonna be good. I didn't expect that.
So we'll see, man, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So just you're you know again, it's week one, only
week one.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You don't panic, Yeah, like I I uh, like I
s there's a couple of guys who start like like
if you if you got like I don't know if
you got like Javonte Williams like I'm not panicking because
he didn't have a great game. Like he's their belt,
He's gonna be their bell cow that you know if
you got But on the other hand, if you if
you were the Colts right and you didn't throw the
ball to Michael Piman, Alex Pierce or Alec Pierce had
(02:20):
a big game, I'm not running to the waiver of
wire to pick up Alec Pierce. Yeah, three catches for
one hundred and twenty one touchdown, but that was mainly
one big catch.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Now, you know, you did make a giant missakee, which
I still I cannot wrap my head around. Now. We
do so much time, you really do. We do starts
and sits every week. Your start last week at tight
end and you were really proud of it was Isaiah Likely.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He ended the season last year with seven touchdowns. He's
a good receiver, he's a good tight end.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah. Well, he came out of the gate on Thursday
night and he had a humongous game. Would have even
had a bigger game if his toe wasn't out of bounce. Yeah. So,
I mean, what an unbelievable hall by you. Hopefully people listened,
but you didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Know I'm an idiot, so I wasn't going to start
him because I was like, because in my eyes, I
was gonna start Goddard because I still I was doing
my starts and sits based off if you had nobody
to start. So that's why I started. That's why I
said to start Likely. Well, right before the game, I
read from Matthew Berry it's moron to start zach Ertz
(03:24):
because Earth is going to be a big part of
that offense. And I'm like, all right, let me pick
up Earth. I'll just drop Likely.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well, okay again, you realize you are Matthew Berry. I
know because you tell people what to do. I know
who to start, and why are you listening to somebody else?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I was bored and I was reading too much.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was just a stupid thing to do. I will
never ever do that again.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It was ever. Well, you are notorious for being a
waiver wire guy and wasting moves on guys you're never
gonna play. You love having a big bench. I do
you ever noticed that?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
I just love having a guy on the bench like
sneaky picks. I like, like, I dropped, I dropped this
running back who I'm never gonna start and picked up
the Rams running back Koby Parkinson because I'm like that
we have his tight end Kobe Parkinson, because I'm like,
you know it with four fifty five. Who knows, maybe
he'll be something. And I didn't waste waiver wire pick
on him. He was just there. I picked him up.
(04:18):
I'm not starting him, but I'm like, who knows, maybe
he'll be something.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
But I mean, why would you stupid?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It's stupid. I don't have three tight ends one squad.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
You're addicted.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Yeah, it's weird. I love it, but I have smartened
up and I'm not wasting waiver wire if I don't
do it. So I'm I have the number one waiver
in two leagues, which is great. So I'm gonna wait,
you know, I'm gonna wait. It was really hard for
me not to waste it. I almost like wasting like
Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Oh jeez, well, my mess of a situation. I mean,
I still can't get over that this happened to me.
So in our iHeart league, I had the number one
overall picks, so of course I took Christian McCaffrey. I
was very excited. I'm a forty nine er fan, So
I'm very excited to have him. H You know, I
had heard, you know, the the rumblings and I and
I that he was listening as questionable most of the week.
(05:03):
He has this calf injury whatever, but all he was practicing,
so he was limited, but he was practicing. And nowhere
did you hear that he was not going to play
on Everybody was like, no, he's gonna be a go,
He's gonna play whatever, all that stuff, and so obviously
he's gonna be in my lineup. He's my number one
overall pick. Well, unfortunately for me, on Monday, I had
(05:25):
Little League practice. I'm the coach, and so I was
at Littleague. Practice started at four and it was gonna
end about five thirty. Well, you know, kick off is
five twenty, right, and so I'm locked into my practice.
I don't have my phone on me, nothing like that,
And at four there was no word yet that McCaffrey
wasn't playing, so I wasn't even thinking twice about it. Well,
(05:47):
my heart sinks. As soon as practice is over, I
get everything done, I pick up my phone and I
see a bunch of mistexts from you four who wildly
had my back, which I'm not expecting. But in fantasy
I wouldn't have expected you. That's true. And I see
you panically panicking, sending me these texts. McCaffrey's out, What
(06:10):
are you doing? Jan't make the pick. Here's what's even worse.
So not only did McCaffrey not play, I have his backup. Yeah,
I ended up handcuffing him. My very last pick in
our draft was Mason. I decided to pick him up.
I go just in case, you know, McCaffrey's heard whatever.
I know, Mason's pretty good. I'm gonna hang on to him. Whatever.
(06:32):
He was my very last pick, so I have him
and I didn't make the switch at so literally ten
minutes away and I see McCaffrey's out, So that's gonna
be a giant zero. And then of course door Mason
goes crazy. He had like twenty two points or something
like that. I won't know how many. I lost by
ten points, so I would won. I would have won,
(06:53):
and I would have had the most points in the league.
So I've just dude, it was one of the worst
feelings I've ever had in fancy.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
You can't get if I could.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
You look at the lineup and you're just like if
he just was in it was I mean, I had
to sit there the whole game looking at Mason go crazy,
and I'm like, dude, it's unbelievable. It was. It was
pretty bad. And you know, every there's not like a
million games. Every win matters, and so to make the playoffs. Look,
I'm gonna immediately look back at this and go, I.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Know you definitely will. You did, but next time, please
have your phone on you story practice.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Well, hopefully I won't have a Monday practice anymore. Well
Thursday too, there's one tomorrow. Oh god, this is a
nightmare quitting. Yes it is. It was a tough week.
I did win in one league, I lost in two,
and that one of those is a ridiculous loss.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Just always remember this. What's that I was oh and
five and I had the least points in the league.
But I picked up a guy picked up another guy
went on a string, made the playoffs. So and six
you're probably done. But even if you're oh and five
is not over, not quite, not quite. So just because
you went on one O two, don't give up. It's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
And again it's only week one, only week one. You
can recover.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Crazy stuff happens in week one.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know it did. It was tough because all the
early games I was destroying people. My My early scores
were crazy good. And then later in that Houston game,
I played Joe Mixon in two of my.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Leagues, who I don't think is going to go off
like this.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Joe Mixon is like the Joe Mixon of like four
years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
That the cults stink. I don't see them going on.
I don't see that Joe Mixon going off like this.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I just don't got a big game. But of course
it was against me.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I drafted Derek Henry over him, and I'm still like you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
You're still sticking with once you start doing that.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
But I just think I just think I wouldn't I
wouldn't freak out about it yet.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Like, yeah, I'm definitely not. Because I scored a lot
of points. I just couldn't beat the guy who had.
You know, he had a bunch of guys that went off.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Perfect example, people that drafted Kirk Cousins, Drake London, Kyle Pitts,
but Jhon Robinson didn't play well, but again it's their
it was their first game together. Kirk's come back from
an achilles. They played a great defense. That's that was
such a Pittsburgh Steeler type game. I'm not I'm starting
all those guys. I'm not freaking out about it. You
know I'm not gonna go Oh No, should not start
(09:15):
Drake London next week? No? Start them?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Yeah, I know, I don't disagree. All right, let's get
to your questions. We got a ton of questions this week.
You can hit us up on email, you can hit
us up on X at the show, thor at the
show Eddie. We will get to your questions every week.
This first question says, hey, guys, I'm in a PPR
league and I need some help filling in the number
one wide receiver position and one flex position. Pooka Nakua
(09:39):
went down for me. So I picked up Jordan Mason
and DeMarcus Robinson. Who should I start between George Pickens,
Jordan Mason, and DeMarcus Robinson?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I mean, uh, Mason, Jordan Mason, the Niners, the Niners
running back. It's even close.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Well, it depends. Now you be paying attention because again
it's well, he.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Play plays I saw earlier. He's a long shot McCaffrey.
So if he's a long shot. I'm starting I'm sorry,
I'm starting Mason. If he plays, I'm starting Mason. And
it's not even a question.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Oh yeah, for sure. I mean especially flex spot one,
and I like Pickens. Pickens is the guy there. I mean,
they really don't have anybody else now, so they're gonna
throw them the ball. So I would definitely go Pickens
and Mason. All right. Another one says I'm in a
PPR league. My starting wide receivers are Tyreek Hill and
Cooper Cup. But who do I start in my flex
this week? Adam Thielen at home versus the Chargers, Courtland
(10:34):
Sutton at home versus Pittsburgh. I also have T Higgins,
but he sat out last week, so I'm not sure
he's gonna play this week. So basically Adam Thlen or
court God, none of them. Oh well, you're gonna have
to be.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
If I have to pick somebody, I probably do Courton
Sutton because I just that Carolina offense is so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I gotta disagree because it's PPR. Uh. They do throw
the ball to Czeeland. Still, I think he only had
like four catches last but that was an atrocious game.
I think they'll have a little bit bounce back game. No,
I don't think they're gonna beat the Chargers, but I
think Feeling is going to do pretty good. Whereas I
I you know, I was very big on bo Nicks.
(11:13):
You know, I'm drafting him, and I was on you
a hard time about bo Nicks. I do like bow Knicks,
but I'm after watching him play in Week one, I'm
not sure. Well, all the rookies didn't play well. Daniels
did because.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
He ran a couple of scores, but he didn't really
play well either, which is shocking.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
The preseason means nothing.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Never how much they're raving about these guys in the
pre season.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Their rookies. Yeah, so I don't know. I'm not I'm
not a big Courtland Sutton fan. So we're split on
that one. You're gonna have to flip a coin and
go with that. PPR Aaron Jones or Calvin Ridley in
the flex spot.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
So Calvin Ridley and the Jags are going up against
the Browns, they're at home.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Calvin Ridley is now with the Tennessee tennesse My friends,
why did I think it was? Because he was last
year he was in Dug so I think have Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Sorry, I have Calvin. That was a massive mistake. Will
Levis is terrible.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
He stinks.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
He's the reason they lost that game. This is a
bounce back game for that Jets defense.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Ridiculous pass.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I mean, he stinks.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, He's not gonna be a good quarterback. There's a
reason why they drafted him in the second round.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Aaron Jones scored last week.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm taking and Aaron Jones scored last week. I know
they have a tougher match up against the Niners, but
I'd still start Aaron Jones because he'll probably get a
bunch of dump off passes.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
If it's PPR, yeah, I don't. I don't like anything
I saw from Tennessee in Week one, So I'm gonna
go with the gold standard.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, and the Jets defense will bounce back. They're not
a bad defense.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
I got a half point PPR league. Who do you
like at running back? Brian Robinson or Jerome Ford.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
This is tough because honestly I love both of them.
Because the Giants are terrible.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
They can't stop. They can't stop anybody scored touchdown.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Which is crazy because they their defensive line should be
their strength. Burns Deck, Katie, it's not that being said.
Though I love Jerome Ford. I'm starting Jerome Ford. Jerome
Ford is their running back. Jerome Ford catches it g
Rome Ford week.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh he'll do enough. Oh he'll do enough. He'll do enough.
This is easy for me. I'm going Brian Robinson all day.
I mean, if you can't tell you, it's again his
matchups and matchup wise, I like that. I got a
quarterback question. Do you go with Justin Fields if he starts,
or Jared Goff Baker Mayfield also available.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I would go with Jared Goff. I know that Justin
Fields runs, but I like this Broncos defense. They're a
good defense. It's in Denver. I really like the Broncos,
and last year when the Lions played the Bucks, they
tore them apart. It's at Detroit. I like, and the
Bucks defense isn't that great.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm going with Jared. Jared Goff tears it up. Yeah,
I mean at this point, I think he went undrafted
in one of our leagues, which is kind.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Of shock crazy.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Yeah, Baker, listen, Baker, I know he had a nice
week one.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I just want I'm waiting to see what pump.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
I don't know. You know he's gonna melt down at
some point. Yeah, So I'm not I'm not pulling the
trigger on Baker yet. I'm gonna go with Jared Goff
on that one. And yeah, Justin Fields, I don't trust
that guy at all as far as I could throw him.
So uh. In the final question, he says, not a question,
more of a humble brag. Literally last minute before Sunday
Night Football, I subbed in Jamison Williams for Brandon Ayu.
(14:25):
Now he got you gotta win. Actual question this week
is pick two out of these guys, Moleik Neighbors, Brandon
Ayuk or Jamison Williams.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I would go with neighbors and Ayuk. And the reason
why I say neighbors because Washington's defense.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
No, Jamison Williams. Did you see the game I did,
which was my sleeper pick, right.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I did see the game, but he didn't have a
ton of catches. And I think this is gonna be
the aman Ros Saint Brown game because alman Ra didn't play,
didn't have a ton of points. They're gonna feed amn Raw.
He tore up the Bucks last year, so I think
he's gonna do it again.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Yeah, I don't know that Ayuk is fully ready. I
mean you clearly saw you know him not make that
one catch. Uh, you know, I'm gonna give you another
chance with your neighbors. Guy.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I don't know, just it's just because of the matchup
the Commanders second Area.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know.
But I I like James and Williams. I mean, I'm
not gonna yeah until until Ayuk I feel is fully
ready to go and fully back. I would probably make
It's probably gonna be next week that Brandon Ayuk is.
He might even be back this week. I don't know,
but I for me, i'd probably go Neighbors and Williams.
(15:34):
Could I understand what you're saying though, So it's not
it's not. I'm not like a fully you know, pound
of my fist on the table type of thing. But
that's where we're at, all right. Let's get our starts
and sits for the week. At quarterback? Who do you
like this?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
I already said it. I love Jared Goff. I keep
saying it. The Lions tore up the Bucks last year.
They're gonna do it again. The Bucks defense isn't good,
and I think they are. Jared Good start this week.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Well, I start this week as a guy who does
look fantastic. Last week, he's got so many weapons in Houston.
I love c J. Stroud. C J Stroud is I mean,
he's an elite guy now, I mean, it's unbelievabrazy. He
had one of the best rookie quarterbacks I've ever seen
rookie seasons I've ever seen for a quarterback, and he's
just continuing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's so impressive. People don't talk about it enough. The
Texans went from David Carr, who was obviously terrible because
of the situation, then they kind of floundered. Then they
drafted Deshaun Watson. Then the next cor right, they drafted CJ. Stroud,
and they disdrafted to Shaun Watson and he was good.
So they're clearly good at picking quarterbacks.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, they also were so terrible they had high quart
that's true, so it's hard to miss. But they picked right.
So I like c J. Strau versus Chicago. Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
My sit this week is a guy who I'm not
giving up on yet, but I'm giving up on him
this week until I see something, and that's Caleb Williams.
I did not expect him to. He was god awful again, rookie.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
And the Titans defense maybe a little better than we think,
but he was god awful. They're playing at Houston, who's
a good team. I'm not starting Kayleb Williams this week
until I see something.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, another guy that you mentioned that you said don't
freak out on, I'm kind of freaking out on Kirk Cousins.
Oh no, a little bit. Are we going with Michael
Pennix at some point here?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I don't know if he keeps playing like he did,
But you're right right, But I again, I don't know
that Kirk Cousins is fully back from his injury yet.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You know a lot of the times it takes a
while for these guys to get back up to speed.
Take it on Philadelphia this week. I like. I like
Philly in that matchup. So I'm sitting Kirk Cousins at quarterback.
Running back? Who's your start, Jerome Ford? Do you have
Ford or something? Because you're a real too amped for
Jerome Ford.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
I think this guy's gonna go off this week. The
Jashaun Watson I don't know what the hell happened to
Deshaun Watson. I think the Browns are hoping he gets a.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Give you any more massage.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
I'm hoping that. I'm hoping that this new sexual assault thing,
the Browns are hoping this new sexual assault thing goes
against the avoid that contract. I think Jerome Ford will
have a big game against the Jaguar.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I start this week is not the guy you would think.
I'm going with the other guy. Listen, you're taking on
the Giants. You're gonna you're gonna have a good day
waiting back. Sorry, it's fact. And so I'm actually gonna
start Austin Eckler this week. Really, I watched some of
that game and Eckler it took a minute for him
to get going. And I know Brian Robinson is the
guy there, which rightfully so, but I like the way
(18:22):
they were using Eckler out of the backfield catching passes,
and when they get down close to the end zone,
it's either gonna be Jadan Daniels or it's gonna be
Austin Eckler. And so I think they're gonna probably recognize
at some point we don't want to get Jaydan Daniels killed,
having him run the ball NonStop, even down on the
goal line, and see his helmet was getting knocked off.
I mean it was very dangerous. And so I like
(18:42):
Eckler to score against the Giants. I'm starting to next, So.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I have Kenneth Walker, apparently he's hurt. Do I start
Austin Eckler?
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I think you should. I think you should. Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
My sit this week is a guy that everyone kind
of liked coming in. But man, oh man, I think
this team's gonna be one of the bottom teams in
the league. And I'm talking about this Zemeir wife. They're
at Baltimore. The Ravens want blood. The Ravens are going
to destroy the Raiders this week.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Again, Thorn and I do not consult on certain White. Yeah,
I don't like the matchup. I don't like the Raiders.
I don't like anything about this. So he didn't, you know,
I mean, he just didn't look that great. That offense
doesn't look that great. They don't, and so I don't know.
I don't know what to do with the Raiders at
this point. And so if you got White, I'm gonna
(19:26):
probably the Raiders.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
The Giants and the Panthers look like three worst who
was in the league.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Yeah, I can't disagree all right, wide receiver, who's your start?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I said it. I said I didn't want to start
guys that are obvious stars. But because he had a
bad week one for his standards, I think i'man Rossaint
Brown is going to tear it up this week. Maybe
you an offensive Player of the week.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Because he's just they're gonna feed him.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
If you watched receiver, he does not like the fact
that he didn't get a lot of catch a lot
of targets, and they're gonna feed him this week.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, my start last week, sure, I had a heck
of a game Stefan Diggs. I'm gonna bring that up
every week. Yeah, I'm big stepon Digs guy. But my
start this week is a guy who had a pretty
good game in Week one, but he could have had
an even bigger game if Lamar Jackson would have actually
found him in the end zone. I like Zay Flowers
this week again taking on the Raiders. I think Baltimore
(20:16):
is gonna destroy them. So I like Zay Flowers a lot.
Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
My sit this week's a guy that you like George Pickens. No,
it's George Pickens, even though it would never start tags. Okay,
it's George then because it's at Denver. Denver's got a
sneaky good defense. So I'm and I think that they
just I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Think Thetans good and.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
I don't think the Steelers offense is any good? Did
the Steelers. They're gonna win seven, and they're gonna win nine.
They're gonna go nine and eight, maybe make the playoffs,
maybe not make the playoffs, and then loose.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah. I don't disagree with you, but I am saying
that Pickens is kind of their their only guy.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, but you know, if you're in a position where
it's like Pickens or I would take the ore. That's
just me.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It depends on who the oar is. My sit this
week is any Packers wide receiver. Listen, they had a
great game. I mean, all those guys were having huge
games down in Brazil. Uh, you know, but again, their
quarterback was Jordan Love, So Dobbs, Reid Watson, all those
guys ain't gonna have Jordan Love this week. It's Malik
(21:19):
or not Willis He's almost name. Yeah, I mean, I mean,
I don't understand trading for that guy. I don't care
unless they saw something that I don't know that we missed.
But he did not look good in Tennessee. But they
made a move for him, and so now he is
going to start this week. So all those guys, you know,
I had read on my bench in one of my leagues,
and I mean he blew up and so I was
(21:39):
kind of like, oh man, that stinks. Well, now I
can't put him in there because you know, you don't
have Jordan Love and so any of those guys I'm
gonna be shining away from for sure. Tight end, who's
your start?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
My start this week? He had a slow week one,
but I think he'll be back. I mean, this offense
was kind of a slow week one, but they they
gave it to the Bills. I'm talking about the the Cardinals,
and I'm talking about Trey McBride. Him and Marvin Yeah,
him and Marvin Harrison or didn't do a.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Ton Marvin Harrison him one can, which.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Is crazy to think about it. And it wasn't like
Kyler Murray played bad.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
He did they We're winning most of the game.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yes, So I'm starting Trey McBride.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
All right, my start this week. Again, he was used
more in the run game than he was in the
past game. But I think this is George Kittle's week.
I think he has a big game taken on Minnesota
this week. I think the you know, it's so crazy
to me that that brock Purty still is getting no respect.
That guy is good. He's a good quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah he listen, He's not Patrick mos not my home.
But he makes the throws when he needs to make
the throws.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
There was a couple of.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Third downs when they made he made a great throw
and I'm like, bang, that's all you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
He I mean that ball he actually threw to Ayuk
that we were talking about was incredible throw. It was incredible.
He didn't catch it.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Because when you look at his file numbers, but he threw.
He threw no touchdowns, no picks, two sixty eight.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
They didn't need that, they didn't even need him. They
did they ran the balls.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
But also if Ayu doesn't drop that he gets a touchdown,
he looks better.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
But I think that you're going to utilize George Kittle
quite a bit this week, So I like killed this week.
Who's your sit?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
My sit this week. I'm going with another Bear, Cole
Comet against the Texans. It's at Houston.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I don't know. I hate the Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
I don't trust the Bears. Man, they're loaded. But here's
what I don't understand about the Bears. You bringing in
rookie head coach of rookie quarterback. You have all these weapons.
Why keep Eberflus Why? I don't understand it. And now
roma Donda is hurt. Caleb looked terrible. I'm just staying
away from the Bears until I see them do something.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, my sit this week is unfortunate for me because
I have him in two leagues. I don't care what
Jerry Jones says. I'm not risking it. Jake Ferguson for
the Cowboys. That knee looked I thought he tores acl Yeah,
I mean I thought he was done. I was tearing
my hair out. I was really upset. But they say
it's not as bad as they first thought. Jerry's out
(23:48):
there saying no, it looks like you're going to play,
and I'm like, wait a minute. Even if he is
in there in plays, I'm not risking it. So I
am gonna sit. Jake firston at least this week against
New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Yeah, and if you need somebody to pick up Kobe
Parkinson from the Rams.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
God that your big waiver wire moves, give me a break.
All right. Well, we'll see if you actually listen to
your advice to speak or not. We'll see what happens.
Hopefully you go out there and get a win.
