All right, FootClan, we got a great show for you today, diving back into the matchups, reacting to the game last night. And let me tell you, this fantasy face-off season, I'm enjoying every minute of it. I can't say the same for my friend Jason. You do not want to miss the Wheel of Shame today. Make sure you click the subscribe button below. Join Mike on Sunday Live. Don't miss it. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your host Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in.
Friday, September 22, Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway, the Fantasy Footballers Podcast, back at you. Fresh off of that Thursday night football game. What did you win according to plan? A lot went according to plan. I mean, Brock Purdy looked a little shaky early on. Yeah. And the Giants continued to look shaky all the time. Yeah, I butt Purdy. He got right back to his two touchdown average. It's just what he does, man. He throws two touchdowns, not more, not less. Yeah, he, you know, I t
weeted yesterday, I thought it would be a committee of sadness in New York in the backfield. I'm looking for the first time, like I knew Matt Breida got into the end zone, which I was like, oh, maybe, maybe that was, that was the wrong take. No. Four for 17? Four carries? Mm-hmm. Same as Gary Britewell. And then Britewell had four carries. But Gary Britewell got five yards on his four carries. So the Giants ran the ball, including Daniel Jones, a total of 11 times. The San Francisco 49ers ran th
e ball 39 times. Never seen a more unhappy Christian McCaffrey manager than Mike Wright last night. No, no, I was. You scored for the 12th straight game. No, no, I was all right. I was just, it's the usual Christian McCaffrey of just, just a shoelace away from a monstrous week. It was a really great week. Like I said, the most- So selfish. The most discontent. I thought it was about the Elijah Mitchell 11 rushing opportunities. All you two are telling me right now is you have no Christian McCaff
rey anywhere. That's all you are saying. Everyone out there is relating to Mike who has McCaffrey, but Elijah Mitchell back out there. Yeah, turd. Get out of my way. Not 100% of snaps for Christian McCaffrey. So sad. Mitchell looked great. And like, honestly, for the short week, Elijah Mitchell should be in there getting some carries. Oh, so fun to watch him play football six for 129 on 12 targets. Had a touchdown. Oh, it was, uh, oh, that was not a 40 yard touchdown, though. No. That was a 40 y
ard reception. Yeah. I was looking for, I was getting greedy with my bonus. Ow. You, uh, you, you played against Debo last night. Yeah, you got a nice head start this week. And Jason, you said you played against Debo in a lot of places. Everywhere. I'm in nine, you know, that happens. I know it is. I'm in nine leagues. I think I'm playing against him in five, four or five leagues. It's like, it was a four or five times 20 plus points. You got a hundred burgers last night. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't g
ood. It wasn't good. But like, like Al said, that's just, uh, they're off to a good start. That's right. That doesn't mean that they're going to win. George Kittle, nine targets, seven for 90. Nice game for him, which was, uh, regrettable for me. I'm playing against Bruxy and the dynasty league and have CMC and thought I got away with it. And then Kittle, he had a nice second half. This is usually what we have seen with the San Francisco 49ers when one of their main options is out. The others ar
e a really good fantasy place. So with Brandon and you sitting, Debo was good. Kittle was good. And it's funny because it feels like every single season in the draft season, we talk about like, well, these guys aren't that great when they're all on the field together sometimes or, you know, every, people have bad games, but when one of them misses, the others are great. I think we just need to draft 49ers knowing that guys are just going to miss time. On the other side of the ball, not much to t
alk about, but Darren Waller, just three for 20. Seven targets. Yeah. It was, it was a rough game. So I think I saw someone in our Slack, uh, say that he was using his flippers to catch the ball as the waller. That was Jeremy who has Waller. There's one particular pass where it is like, oh, it hit him in the hands. So you feel like he should have caught it, but it was, it was not a great pass. Uh, it is the only, the only comment I want to make about the, the giants is, uh, it was great to see t
he return of Wanda Robinson. He was four for only four for 21. So that mean this is not a fantasy moving situation. Five targets, but he was not on the field hardly at all. This was a very much a cadarius Tony, like when he was on the field, you knew the ball was going to Wanda Robinson. So it's, I don't want to be, you know, like really excited chasing what, what, what Robinson has done in this one game, but it's just, I think you put him back on your radar as a possibility. Well, by extension,
Isaiah Hodgins had a zero reception. So the pecking order might be changing there in New York. Better matchups could lead you to better results. Oh, and we, we do, it was, I don't know if you wanted to, whatever, talk about our news are here, but the, the saga of San Juan Barclays ankle has, we have another installment everybody because another episode. Yeah. We got a new chapter of he left. He went, oh dude, I've seen a high ankle sprain. I've seen them over and over. That's a high ankle sprai
n reports back. No, it was a regular ankle sprain, probably missing three. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Dave, Dave, all is like, dude, his progress is great. I'm not ruling him out of Thursday. He's game time decision. Yeah. He might play, but then ruled out on Wednesday. So it was not a game time decision and it was okay. Well, we know what we're going to do. Matt Burrito will be the, the go to guy and then say, come on, Barkley himself said, no, I'm dealing with a high ankle sprain and
that said, I might be back next week. Like, so stay tuned. Well, yeah, there will be more. There will be more with sake ones ankle. All right. Put clan Friday. Well it is Friday and every Friday we give away $100 gift card to a supporter of the show over at join the foot.com. Today's $100 gift card to fantasychamps.com goes to Koi B.

You get to chat with a bunch of like minded people over there. It's good times. And this Monday. So
I mean get signed up. Be ready. This Monday we're having a fun trivia night hosted by the one and only Papa Josh. Yes. Papa Josh. Just doing my best out of feeling there. Sorry. Let's move on. News and notes from around the league presented by USA insurance. Some updates for the matchups we covered on yesterday's episode of the show. Austin Eckler remains sidelined on Thursday. Let's go to Jason Moore for comment. Yeah. He's not going to play and let's go away from Jason Moore for comment. Dolp
hins wide receiver Jalen Waddle remained sidelined with the concussion symptoms. That also is the case for Logan Thomas. So hesitant to I mean I personally don't think Jalen Waddle is going to play football. No. No. I think he technically has until Saturday to clear. But at this point you got to think he's up. And the matchup is good on paper for Miami. So if you are looking for Dart throws DFS plays you got to look Braxton Barry Osis way Durham smith River cray craft. Throw that out there. Dere
k Henry did not practice Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. You don't list it as toe slash rest. Yeah. You don't like seeing that he's not practicing on Thursday. But the fact that it is slash rest on the practical on the actual official practice report makes me feel better about it. Is it rest for Derek Henry or for his toe. I believe his first time. I was like hey rest the toe you know and so he's probably in a wheelchair. His upper body was practicing. Yeah. Oh working out just pumpin
g some iron. Aaron Jones Christian Watson the Packers hamstring update Aaron Jones returned to a limited practice and Christian Watson was downgraded to it did not practice which we heard Watson was this was part of their plan of ramping him up would expect he doesn't play so much like a ramping him down situation. It's so bizarre because you can't overwork like clearly his hamstring injury was was rough and Watson has already been in his pro career dealing with hamstring injuries. So I think th
ey're taking it slow. Aaron Jones was limited the you know just a couple of things on tape looks like a guy who's going to play but keep your eyes up for the for the news because we don't know yet. Anthony Richardson sideline on Thursday's practice with the concussion protocol also not practicing today Friday. He'll be out. I think it's going to be Gardner men shoe and Andy Dalton playing football because the Panthers Bryce Young remain sideline. Andy Dalton is going to start the game and Bryce
Young could miss more than just this week personally. I think this is an opportunity for Jonathan Mingo. He's been on the field a tremendous amount of time. The downfield throws even the chances they haven't been there with Bryce Young. I honestly would be looking personally at Mingo and Thielen with more optimism than with Bryce Young. I've watched those games and the opportunities just weren't there and I think Dalton will throw the football. Yeah I mean I don't see it as a major downgrade but
I don't see this as an upgrade. I see it as an upgrade. Yeah I mean I just don't because last year I mean when we saw James Winston go to Andy Dalton it hurt most the wide receivers obviously maybe that you know that means that Bryce Young is worse in your mind. Oh yeah yeah I mean James Winston was helpful for fantasy. Bryce Young is an active detriment. To me it's an upgrade from Bryce Young it wouldn't be an upgrade from James. So you're starting at him Thielen and you're a dynasty? Yes I am
. Okay. Yeah he also put up 17 fantasy points last week. Oh with Andy Dalton? No. Oh with the guy you just besmirched that's my point. Yeah he's going to get better. Isaiah Pacheco returned to a limited practice on Thursday. So there you go. That's good. Hey this is a great matchup for Pacheco. I originally had Pacheco in as my start of the week until he showed up on the injury report so if you've got him I'm playing him. Well let me put that to the test. Are you playing him over 98% of snaps an
d 18 carries aka Zach Moss? Are you playing Pacheco over Zach Moss? I would play Pacheco against the Bears over Zach Moss for sure. What about you Mike? I would probably play Moss. Against Baltimore and Baltimore? Yeah. Okay. I mean he was great last week. I just think it was, I mean we know, and in Fookland if you're new to the show because you hear me week after week after week besmirched Zach Moss, traded him. I've been a non-believer in him since before the NFL Draft where he was drafted and
you know it's a bit. But he is valuable. He is a workhorse right now for the Colts and so when I throw as much mud on him as I can it's mostly for show but I do think that it was a bad, a really good matchup last week and a bad one this week. So I would really not. The matchup is not great but it's like is Pacheco, I mean how many opportunities will Pacheco actually have? The matchup's great so when he touches the ball he should get good chunks of yardage but what's he going to carry the ball 1
0 times and is he going to get a goal line opportunity? No. He's going to get a big run and so he has to rip off a huge run where Zach Moss at least if they get to the five or whatever it's going to be Zach Moss opportunity. So I'm just, I'm chasing touchdowns. Pacheco's not a bad play but I'm going for ceiling. I think Zach Moss will have five targets. That's why I care about Zach Moss. Yeah, there's that too. That it's not, I was disappointed to see Pacheco's involvement last week and I was ev
en more disappointed with two targets, one catch but I can see it going either way this week. I'm going to have to make the call on one of my teams. Kenny Gainwell returned to a limited practice on Thursday so we could see the beginnings of the swift Gainwell time share playing out. There was a report of hot hand. Yeah. Which? No, it's going to be that way. You're not going to throw, Kenny Gainwell spent the entire off season earning the good will and multiple seasons earning the good will and t
he starter's job for a reason and so I don't think he gets, he's not putting the attic here but DeAndre Swift had such a performance. Oh, with the mock falls. Yeah, he had such a performance that he earned himself a lot of opportunity and if I was playing one this weekend it would be DeAndre Swift. I just think it's going to be shared. Yeah, I agree. That was today's News and Notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. And now for the next News and Notes forecast.
Well yesterday on the show we covered the Titans Browns Falcons Lions Saints Packers Broncos Dolphins Chargers Vikings Patriots Jets Bills Commanders. Was that one breath? That was one breath and it was kind of. And you were powering down. I was powering down like a computer. Oh, I heard it. And that was also a bit. I'm not actually a computer. All right, today we've got some more. I'm not a cat. I am not a cat. Your honor, Houston Texans. They're O and two and they take on the Jacksonville Jagu
ars. Did you see the, Mike you shared that poll with us. Yeah, it was. They went around. I think it was CBS. They went around the studio and they asked how to pronounce it and now I'm going to do it here. We're going to go through every member real quick. There's two different ways to say Jacksonville's team name. Jason. Jaguars. Okay. Jaguars. Okay. Jaguars. Jaguars. Oh, that was. Jaguars. Did you say Jaguars? Jaguars. It sounded like Bruxy went Wires too. Bruxy went. I think I'm closer to the
Wires. So it's Wires or Wars. I never thought about it. It's W-I-R-E-S or W-A-R-S. The best part of the video to me was. And it was like 50, 50. Yeah, these are sports people and it was not, it wasn't a room. So people weren't being influenced by other people's answers. And then you had, one of them was a self-proclaimed Jacksonville fan from birth. And it was. And they went Jacksonville Jaguars. And what's funny is when we started the show, it was always Jaguars. Yep. That's how I said it forev
er. I've been, I converted to Wars. I converted to Wars because all these Jaguars fans are like, that's not Jaguars. It's Jaguars. And then, yeah, it was funny to watch the like self-proclaimed lifelong Jaguars fans say it is definitely Jaguars. So I don't know, who knows how to say it. Also, it's both. Clearly. It's, yes, yes, Kyle. It is Jaguars. Jacksonville. Jacksonville. Here's where we talk about the matchup. Jacksonville, eight and a half point favorites over under 44 points. Texans won i
n Jacksonville last year, 13 to six. It is a divisional game. I have been considering. Oh, yes. Yes. I could feel the energy shift in the room. Couldn't you? Yeah. Yeah, I did. Andy's almost upset of the wake. I don't, I don't hate it. It's an eight and a half point line. Yes. Houston, they're 0-2, I understand. But on the defensive side, they've been pretty stout against wide receivers. Those had some bumps along the way getting this offense rolling again this year. They have all the tools and
ability to blow Houston out of the water here. So that, that is certainly in the range of outcomes. But the over under is just 44 points. Christian Kirk had his week last week, Zay Jones the week before. And Zay Jones not practicing Wednesday, Thursday. So Christian Kirk is back in play. 14 targets last week. I've been impressed with CJ Stroud and what he's been able to do. He's throwing the football a ton. They can't run it. They're offensive lines of mess. But Jacksonville's defense are 28 aga
inst the opposing fantasy quarterbacks. I don't think CJ Stroud is a bad DFS play this week personally. Agreed. And the, there's going to be some opportunities here. I am dying for a Damian Pierce. I'm proud to have drafted you moment. Can you, can you promise me that this week, Jason? Nope. I can't. I cannot promise you that if you look at the Jacksonville defense this season and last year, they're pretty stout against the run partially because they are a pass funnel defense and you can throw o
n them. It's the exact opposite of the Houston Texans. The Houston Texans, they are not a good play for, you always see this matchup. You see this bad team, this team going after the number one pick and, and you think, oh, good, I want to fire up all my, all my players against them, but that has not worked out. Last year, if you played a quarterback against the Texans, you were really, really unhappy. They were the number one team against quarterbacks. Not, not good. They averaged 10 fantasy poi
nts per game given up to the quarterback position. And why? Because you were up a ton and they're easy to run on. And so you don't need to throw the ball last year in these two matchups, one of which the Houston Texans, one, they beat Jacksonville and Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence had 10 fantasy points and four and a half fantasy points. So it's not to say you have to bench Trevor Lawrence. Let me give you some names, Jason. Trevor Lawrence or Geno Smith against Carolina. Trevor Lawrence or Desh
aun Watson against the Tennessee Titans. Deshaun Watson. Oh, okay. I think he's a good play this week, even though he's been putrid. I'm with Jason on this. So there you go. Damian Pierce, it's been rough. You know, CJ Strauss throwing the ball a ton. Nico Collins, I think you stay in the flames there. Yeah, agreed. Negative game scripts are going to be a part of the Houston experience. Tank Dell, he is practicing in full. I think he's viable this week. And Travis Etienne, Mike, he was your star
ter of the week yesterday. Should be wheels up for Travis Etienne. Honestly, I think we do a disservice to anybody to even really worry about or talk about or mention Tank Bigsmear right now. I think the best way to look at things is Travis Etienne is the starting running backs for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jaguars. That's also never going to happen again. But Etienne is the guy. It's early in the season. So maybe by the end of the year, we will have a different opinion when these rookies come o
n strong. But I think we've got an answer. One of the biggest questions coming into this year was Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne, these stud running backs. There you go. These guys who you thought were just going to be so great and then their team goes and drafts a really talented, really high draft capital running back to add to the running back room. And you go, oh, it's going to be a timeshare. Neither one of them are a timeshare. Both these rookies came in to be backups to their star runn
ing back incumbents. If you drafted Evan Ingram, who's been the Titan 7 and 9 so far, are you content? Mike just gave me the like, Mike gave me the face where like he's ordering from a new restaurant and he had the first bite and he's like, you know what? I'm still happy I ordered it. Yeah. 5 for 49, 6 for 57. I mean, yeah, you're not moving on. You're getting points. Yeah. Which is step one and Titan. Exactly. This year, are you kidding me? This year, that is phenomenal. That's over seven point
s a game. That's as good as you can hope and pray for it. Well, yeah, and we just, what did we get off Darren Waller 3 for 20? I mean, yeah. Count your blessings there. Keep playing Ingram. And if Zay Jones misses, there's going to be some opportunity for him. Yeah. The Indianapolis Colts are one and one and they take on the Baltimore Ravens or 2 and 0. Draft Keen Sportsbook line has Baltimore minus 8, the over and under is 44. It looks like it'll be Gardner Minshew and Lamar Jackson squaring of
f. It would have been fun to see Anthony Richardson take on Lamar Jackson in this one. Yeah. And, uh, Richardson was on pace for, you know, even went the mist time almost 650 rushing yards and 25 rushing touchdowns. Uh, but we're not going to get that. So, uh, on paper, this looks like Baltimore should be able to take care of their business. Lamar Jackson, he's a great start. Zay Flowers might start of the week yesterday. The Colts second area is allowing the second most points to wide receivers
. And then here's where it gets interesting to me as I think there will be another wide receiver contributing in this game beyond Zay Flowers for Baltimore, for Baltimore. And the, the wide receiver I think it's going to be is Nelson Aguilar. That's why I think it's going to make the contribution. Someone's in your draft Kings lineup. I can always smell them. Last, last week it was Nico. Yeah. You're right. Am I? Yeah. So, you know, I think that's why I'm in practice Wednesday, Thursday. Nelson
Aguilar had six targets last week. He was the number one beneficiary from Beckham leaving the game. It wasn't Bateman. It was Aguilar who also flashed in preseason and training to have earned the trust of Lamar Jackson. So that's my, that's my little, uh, under the radar start. I like throwing that out there as a DFS dart throw. Um, I don't know that I would pick him up in, in a redraft league and try to roster him and rely on him. No, but it's a really good point because Nelson Aguilar has spen
t his career being the butt of jokes and he's spent this off season being the praise of coaches. So and, and then was really good this last week. So he's, he's an interesting name to monitor. Okay. Mark Andrews, you play him and then on the other side, Zach Moss, it's all about workload. He had 98% of snaps, 100% of the opportunities. He succeeded with them relative to the, to the matchup. And so I think he gets it all this week. He certainly will get it. It's just a bad matchup because the Rave
ns are giving up 11 points to fantasy running backs. Yeah. 11, I guess you're going to be, well, yeah, yeah. I mean, if I bet 11 points is what he scores exactly. I'll take 10. All right. But that is someone that you could start. I mean, getting 10 from a running back is not the end of the world, but this isn't a great matchup. You're not getting 20 points in Baltimore against the Baltimore run defense with Gardner Minshua quarterback. Is Gardner going to be able to supply Michael Pittman with e
nough work in this game, Mike? Uh, I think so. I mean, we have a 33% target share for Michael Pittman so far and they really like the ball is just going to him. Like he is truly the, their number one guy. Gardner's a very capable backup. So it's status quo for how I'm looking at Pittman. Pittman last week had what 12 targets, eight receptions. And obviously a lot of that was Gardner Minshua. And a gentleman over there in Deuces Alley. If you hear anything update wise on these Baltimore Ravens, w
ill you please let us know? Cause I'd love a practice report on Beckham before, I don't know, a segment later. Fair enough. What are you doing with the running backs for Baltimore? Oh, it's Gus Bus. Justice Hill not expected to play with the turf toe. I mean, look, at the surface, I'm in agreement. How can you argue it's likely to be Gus Edwards, but Melvin Gordon will likely be brought up. I think they just added Kenyan Drake to the practice squad who the team knows Kenyan Drake. Oh, we do have
an update. Beckham not a practice today. Cool. So there you go. There you go. All right. So is it like if you, cause these are both waiver wire guys, maybe you have both. If you, are you making the decision Gus Edwards over Zach Moss? Oh yes. For sure. And that's not, that's not the bit of me hating Zach Moss. It's fair. You're talking about it in Indianapolis. It's more of a question if they were both guys were acted. If Justice Hill was there and Gus Edwards, then you could make the argument.
Not at practice. Right. Yes. You could make the argument, but the fact that he's not expected to play hasn't practiced all week. If, if Gus is there with just Melvin Gordon and, and even Kenyan Drake is active on game day, I'm definitely playing Gus with his touchdown opportunities over Moss. Yeah, I agree. And let's take a quick break. Come back with the Panther Seahawks. All right. The Panthers are 0 and 2 and they take on the one-on-one Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, the Draft King Sports Book
line Seattle minus five and a half. Now does that line surprise you? Seattle is a tough place to play. And Carolina is 0 and 2 and likely onto a backup quarterback. To me, that line is, You think it's too low? I think it's pretty low for what we came into this season thinking about Seattle and what we have seen so far from Carolina. So this to me is a testament to Carolina's defense being better than expected. They are, they're, they're a decent unit. Yeah, they've been, they've been shutting i
t down. Wide receivers and quarterbacks through two weeks. I know it's just two weeks, but Jason, you are not afraid of them. You put Geno Smith as your start of the week in this matchup. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you look at the, who the Carolina Panthers played the first two weeks, you can't really take this season and, and say, well, they're, they're good against quarterbacks right now. They, they haven't really been challenged. And Geno, they, they figured it out with the offensive line, the pr
otection, getting out quick. Obviously we had a monstrous bounce back game from Tyler Lockett. You're always fine with DK Metcalf. You've added Jackson Smith and jig, but yeah, I'm wheels up with Geno, which DK Metcalf did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He has said he's going to play this as maintenance, but do remember, like he left the game briefly with a, uh, I believe it's just like a nasty shot in the ribs or so, but he did come back in the game. So it's make sure, like, don't check ou
t on the weekend. If you got Metcalf in your lineup, you need to make sure that he's playing. So Lockett's in Metcalf. If he's playing, you're starting him and Kenneth Walker, two rushing touchdowns should be set up for success against the 31st ranked rushing defense so far through two games. Adam Thielen and Andy Dalton hanging out one last ride. Adam Thielen seven for 54 and a touchdown last week. It's like the heist movie where the old guys come back. Yeah. Yeah. It was a Morgan Freeman in th
at one. Yeah, he was. I think we, we already discussed it. I mean, at worst this is neutral. Adam Thielen produced last week. They don't have weapons in the passing game. So you know, the Seahawks so far, they've been awful. Going in style. Yeah. Who is the other two actors? We got Alan Arkin. Oh, gosh. We got Michael Cain. Oh, there it is. Oh, Chris Lloyd, Morgan Freeman. Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, you can make fun of the 33 year old all you want. Seahawks have been basically the worst in football
in terms of giving up fantasy points to the wide receiver position. I have more confidence that they'll continue to give up points to the wide receiver position because of Andy Dalton. And so I think Adam Thielen is fine as a flex play this week. Yeah. Fine as the record. And I think, I think Mingo could have his first game. He's on the field constantly. I think he had eight targets last week. That could be wrong. Let me double check that. He had eight targets. Yeah. He had a lot of targets. Th
ey were just were not good targets, but he played on 98% of Carolina's snaps. So there you go. And then the defenders, Jason, you have a major start of the week. Seattle defense has been pretty bad. So maybe that's a little bit of that line too. Maybe this game will be a little bit closer than we expect. Doubt it. Doubt it? I do. I doubt it. I think Seattle, like you said, it's a really tough place to play and the matchups for the first two weeks for these teams. I think we're going to see more
of what we saw last season from both of these rosters. Chicago Bears are 0-2. They take on the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead. Here we go. Here's that line you're looking for. Draft King Sportsbook has Kansas City has 12 and a half point home favorites. The over-under is 48. So I think our implied point total is incorrect here in the, in our show dock. I think so. But that's got to put Kansas City at the 28, 29 point mark. And Chicago down at 17. It's been grotesque. Oh, 30. 30 is the implied p
oint total. How do you feel about that word to describe the Chicago offense? The wait, the 30. The word was grotesque. Oh, yeah. That's accurate. Is that too soft a word? I think it's too exciting of a word, honestly. I feel like they're too boring to be called grotesque. Grotesque seems like, you know, look, you might not want to look at it, but you have a hard time looking away. I don't want to look at it. You can easily look away at the Bears offense right now. The Bears fans and the depressi
on that is set in through two weeks. Anything changing this week in Kansas City? No, I mean, the matchup is so brutal. You're upset about the fact that, you know, you, you came in thinking you have a chance at this division. Justin Fields could take a step forward with DJ Moore. You added a lot to your defense. Maybe you can compete this year. You may not make the playoffs, but be like one of those up and coming teams that looks like, you know, you got a shot towards the end of the year. And ins
tead you're going on three and you're getting really scary for my sweet, sweet Arizona Cardinals number one pick. Uh, Cable Lames is ours. Justin Fields coming out and blaming coaching to a degree of what's causing him to overthink in the pocket. Let's talk about Khalil Herbert for a second because through two weeks, 9.9 fantasy players points in week one, 6.3 fantasy points in week two against Green Bay and Tampa Bay. Now in Arrowhead in week three, I feel like I've seen tons of start set and,
you know, trade questions and general speculation on Khalil Herbert in general. Are you trying to find a different option this week? It's really frustrating because the Bears offense has been terrible. Khalil Herbert is in my opinion a good running back. He's, he was on the field 60% of the snaps. With Deontiform and being inactive, it was Khalil Herbert and Rochon Johnson and 60% of snaps turned into seven carries and three targets. Like the offense is terrible and yet they're not giving their
running backs the true option to do anything. So are you making the argument against Khalil Herbert based on that? I'm making the argument that it's really frustrating that they are, we don't know. Like who should Khalil Herbert be the starter? I don't know. Give him some work. Let's find out. We find out from the bench. Yeah. We should find out from the bench. You know, we saw this happen last year a couple of times with David Montgomery. You look at the end of the season, David Montgomery on t
he field for 54% of snaps and get six carries. And David Montgomery was, you know, a, you know, a higher draft capital, higher paid, better player than Khalil Herbert. So I think Khalil Herbert right now until proven otherwise needs to be on your bench. Zach Moss against Baltimore or Khalil Herbert? When you said, let's talk about Khalil Herbert, I thought, please don't ask me Zach Moss versus Khalil Herbert. I mean, that's how you have to ask. So it has to be waiver guys because it's like, well
, no, I think I would at that point, I'm going to take the 98% of snaps from Zach Moss. That's what I would do with Pacheco across the field. Oh, I would. I love Pacheco. Yeah, I am all in on Pacheco this week. Would you play? I mean, let's find some nasty, nasty boys here. What about Kendrick Miller if he was active? I'd play Herbert. But I think I'd play Herbert too with the trifecta in New Orleans. I don't blame people who have the courage to take the shot for Kendrick Miller. It just that, t
hat is, that's high risk. I like risk, but that's- Would you rather roster Cam Acres right now, going to Minnesota or Khalil Herbert? Ooh, Cam Acres. About, yeah, probably Acres, but it's, they're about the same. Get nasty, brother. Najee Harris or Khalil Herbert? Najee. Najee Harris plays the Raiders. Yeah, gross. DJ Moore was 6 for 104 despite the Putrid Week. You keep playing DJ Moore? Mm-hmm. And then Justin Fields, right now, it's been gross. He says he's not going to, he basically said he'
s not going to think as much. Which that should be more running. That's what it means to me because something about processing defenses right now is not working for Justin Fields. And if you read between the lines, it feels like he's saying, hey, you're trying to make me a pocket passer. It would be nice if he could be a pocket passer. I'm going to say that because there were opportunities against that defense last week and he just didn't, he didn't let it go. I mean, if you watched the game, it
was like everyone screaming at the TV, throw the ball. Yeah, he's, or take off. Yeah. Like either just, just don't stand in the pocket. And don't you dare pump. Don't you dare, don't you dare pump again. He looks like a guy. No one's believing you're going to throw it. Who's really afraid of mistakes. Yeah. That's what it looks like to me. Yeah, but, but, but, are you playing Stafford or, or Gino over Justin Fields? So what I was going to add to it is the Bears will be missing just like the Gia
nts. The, the starting portion of the left line will be gone. Kansas City is a very strong defense. Man, just so Fields or Stafford. Stafford's Monday night against Cincinnati in Cincinnati. Oh man. I'm going to personally keep rolling out Fields. He has been putrid and the Kansas City Chiefs defense has been good. So if you wanted to, you know, Gino to me is a little bit more interesting than Stafford that, that I think is a, is a closer call. The Bengals still have a really good defense and, a
nd Stafford hasn't been throwing touchdowns so far this season. So, but with Fields, you saw the Chiefs shut down two pocket passers. Jared Goff, Week 1 didn't do much. Although, although they did give up, you know, points to the offense and then obviously last week it was a little bit rainy, little bit rain, but Trevor Lawrence didn't do much when, when you would have hoped for a bigger game. So I think you might want to bench him to be happier. I mean, it's, I'm saying that it's been rough. I
think from a, look, I think Justin Fields is going to bounce back at some point. He was my start of the week last week because I thought that. But maybe this is the time when you let yourself off the hook. Yeah. I mean, I just don't know what other matchups, you got to start someone else. You can't just bench him. You got to start Russell Wilson or you, you've got to start Stafford or you got to start Goff. I mean, maybe Goff you would, you would throw in there. Those are just, I would at home.
Those are, yeah, those, those are just hard for me. To me, I would keep rolling Fields, but I don't, you know, maybe I'm not feeling the burns that people who have had to start him like Owl, you picked up Kirk Cousins and I would start Kirk Cousins easily over Fields. Kirk's been on fires, matchup is great. But that's tough one. So you, you want, you would prefer to bench him, Andy. I, I not necessarily, I'm just saying that from a mental standpoint, it's been really hard on those that drafted h
im. And if you put him on the bench and you play somebody that you have some confidence in, if he has a bad game, you'll be happy you made that decision. And if he has a good game, you'll be like, okay, this draft picks getting redeemed and I can play him again in the future. So I just think it might be mentally taxing to lose three straight games because of Justin Fields. I understand that. This is, you know, that's part of the game. Is part of the game. Absolutely. And sometimes it's about win
ning and sometimes it's about mental health. Correct. And speaking of mental health, can you play any wide receivers on the Kansas City side? You can. The projected for 30 points, somebody's going to do something, but Tony and more and, and Rice and MBS and Watson and I think you kind of just know Kelsey. Yeah, it's Kelsey. I would put Kaderis Tony at the top of the list. But he's hurt. He's hurt now. He's missing practice. Dude, dude, just retire. Yeah, I retire. I know you're like, what is thi
s year three in the league, but you can't play football, man. I don't think he's going to play this week when he's on the field. Like last week was good. So I'm saying like when in his opportunity, 28% of snaps, five catches for 35 yards on 28% of snaps, but you're not getting more snaps. I'm not talking about fantasy football. I'm just talking to the man Kaderis Tony, where Jason's telling him to retire. I'm saying for his body's sake, he's just not able to take NFL action. Yeah. I mean, the pr
oblem is, is I would not be shocked if Kansas City played him on 28% of snaps the rest of the season. Yeah, I wouldn't either. Yeah, I would just avoid it. So crazy that you can have a 30 point projected team applied total and say bench all wide receivers. All right, let's move on to the next blowout. Dallas two and O taking on the Cardinals, Oh, and two Cardinals are at home. Dallas is a 12 and a half point favorite. The over unders 43. And we got the unfortunate news yesterday that Trayvon dig
s superstar cornerback, torn ACL in practice, his season is over and Dallas was playing man coverage 42% of the time they were dominating. That was giving them the ability to go out the quarterback constantly. And it's going to hurt their defense. It is, you know, you can't take away certainly in all pro type of wide or a cornerback, but ain't going to probably hurt them this week. So they're on the road. They're still 12 and a half point favorites. You know, from the Cardinals side of the fanta
sy world, I am fine with Zach Hertz, James Connors, a volume play. Hollywood Brown is a start and close your eyes. Mike's making faces that it's just it's been so disappointing. I mean, the guy had for Hollywood. Yeah, he had a touchdown last week. He scored and he still wasn't a top 24 option. That's a wide receiver position. And he had 10 targets, 10 targets and scored. It was not in the top 24. That being said, there was a lot of wide receiver scoring this last week. He did not have a bad gam
e. 14 and a half, half PPR points. You'd be happy with that. Okay, that's fair. But there was a lot of wide receiver scoring. There were some good games, but it was awesome. I mean, that was against the Giants. I mean, without Trayvon digs, Dallas Cowboys are still the Cardinals are outmatched. Yeah, it's the pass rush of the Cowboys that are going to really, really be a problem. Even without digs in the secondary, there's going to be a lot of pressure. Dak is Mike's start of the week at quarter
back. Jake Ferguson, Mike's start of the week at tight end. CD Lamb is an auto start. Tony Pollard is an auto start. So the real question is James Connor. Yeah. I mean, in the game, I think it is James Connor. I don't think you can sit him though. I mean, he's going to have 20 opportunities in this ball game. Even with a bad matchup, I would play him over most of all of those other options that we're talking about at the Zach Moss level. You know what I'm pretty much doing with Arizona's? I'm tr
ying to just play guys that get the dump off close to line of scrimmage garbage because they're going to be in negative game scripts. And so Zach, Zach, James Connor is the answer. Brandon Cooks, are you going to give him a week off? I'll let him, he returned to practice with the sprained MCL, but I'm going to let him show me that he's actually ready. Pittsburgh's one on one. They take on the Las Vegas Raiders who are also one on one. The Draft King Sportsbook line Raiders, two and a half point
home favorites. The over-under is 43. Does that line surprise you at all? No, I don't think so. I think this is pretty much exactly where I would put this game. The Steelers have, if you look at, there's two struggling offenses or at least uninspiring offenses. That's a good word. And there's one good defense. So to me, if the line is weird at all, I think that the Raiders will have a more difficult time with the Steelers than the Steelers will have with the Raiders. Josh Jacobs, I threw him in
there as a start of the week because, well... Get the man some confidence. It's time to go. And the Steelers are dead last against running back so far through two weeks. You saw a big place against them last week, chunk plays. Drone Ford, Nick Chubb, I hope we get one from Mr. Joshua Jacobs this week. And we're banking on him being heavily utilized. I will guarantee he has more rushing yards this week. Promise. Wow. Wow. Big man. Yeah. Yeah, cut that out for socials. Devonte Adams is in your lin
eup and that's just the state of affairs for Devonte Adams right now. Are you playing anybody else on that side of the ball? I think Jacobi Myers is interesting. He returned to a full practice should be back out there. Week one against the Broncos, it was 10 targets and 80% of the snaps. I turned a 9 for 81. The two touchdowns are just like... Thielen or Jacobi Myers. Jacobi. I'd go Jacobi. Jacobi even got... I mean he had... Hollywood or Jacobi. Jacobi. Jacobi. He had really valuable targets to
o. It wasn't just, you know... Nico or Jacobi. Nico. Dotson or Jacobi. Jacobi. Judy or Jacobi. Jacobi. Okay. Kenny Pickett. Eww. Yes. Najee Harris. I guess. Hopeful. I guess. I mean this is a good matchup for him. Yeah, I mean you look last season... I think Jayla Warren's a flex category in this game. Sure. Last season the Raiders run defense was really, really bad. They ranked 30th. They give up 27.5 fantasy points per game. This season they rank 30th. They give up 28 fantasy points a game to
the running back position. So I do think Najee is a decent play this week and Warren is a flex. Mike, George Pickens. Yeah. You got to chase after that. They at least found something in him last week. Going back to the over under 43. I do think that's actually high. Like unless they're counting on the Steelers to score on defense. Helen Robinson ran Führer Rouss and Calvin Austin last week. Pat Fryermuth is my start of the week and it's time to get into the double digits. It's time to get into t
wo hands. Into total yardage and there you go. One in I football we have another double header gentlemen. No. But we don't have another double header until week 14. Are they stacked again or are they at least... Yeah. I believe they are. Why are... Stop! Cool. One hour apart. One hour apart is so dumb. Like you cannot enjoy... You can't enjoy either game. You have to pick. Because you like... Not if you got two rooms like Jason. Yeah. If you have two rooms or two televisions that you can see the
m both at the same time. But you...I mean flipping back and forth between football games is not enjoyable to me. Yeah. Sure. I'll throw it on the table. But even that is... It's time to adjust, Mike. It's time to make the best of it. I am making the best of it but it's dumb. Philadelphia's 2-0, they take on the 2-0 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Draft King Sportsbook line is Philly minus 5. The overunder is 46. I mean I... This was almost...my almost upset as well. I have not been impressed with the
Philadelphia offense thus far. Tampa's offense has been very impressive to me. The Buccaneers are doing well enough on the defensive side I think at home to make this a game. But I might stand alone in that belief. Baker has been good. Mike Evans, number two wide receiver on the year right now. Chris Godwin, he's been solid 5 for 51, 5 for 58 just needs to get into the end zone. Rashad White, bunch of opportunities last week. Are you doing...are you concerned about any of these guys facing Phila
delphia at home? Rashad White for sure. The...I mean I'm not concerned with his opportunities because it was 19 in week one against Minnesota but that 19 turned into 5.9 half PPR points so... Wow. That is impressive. I mean that's really... He had 19 opportunities and he couldn't score six fantasy points. It's really good stuff but it was a huge bounce back against Chicago. Far more concerned against Philadelphia but running backs don't get volume these days and he still will. Buccaneers defense
thus far through two weeks of course. Not the most powerful offenses facing off against them but been good against running backs now you're going to have a potential timeshare here with Swift and Gainwell. Are you playing Swift this week? Yeah. Yeah, that was a quick yes. It is because Gainwell is still...it's limited practice. It's not like he is...he's back baby. He's doing full practices the entire week. Maybe he gets a full practice in on Friday but I feel like until he's really actually he
althy, Deioner Swift is...you got to play him. Yeah, I mean definitely if Gainwell is inactive he's...he becomes a must start. I think you can start him with Swift but I'm scared there. You know I think if Gainwell is active for the game I'm not even confident Swift is the 1A of if there's a 1A and 1B. AJ Brown squeaky wheel. It's going to be a big week. Could be. Devontae Smith, he was limited on Thursday with a thigh hamstring situation. Doesn't matter. If you guys hear anything over there, An
drew Sersalli on today's practice for Philly would love to know about Gainwell and Devontae Smith. Nothing yet. Dallas Goddard. Yeah, what is going on? Not...it's concerning because you have a new offensive coordinator. And so maybe Dallas Goddard's being a focal point is just not a reality. Well he kind of was a focal point last week after not being involved in week one. They manufactured touches for him. They called plays up for him but everything was so close to the line of scrimmage that he
turned six catches into 22 yards. Say that's the Zach Hertz point. Yeah. Zach Hertz in week one was six for 21. I mean this is not how you use Dallas Goddard. This is not getting it done. And that's where I feel like I'm going to bet on talent. I'm going to bet on this team to figure it out. This is a team that has used him correctly before and he is a talented player so I don't think they're just going to put their head in the sand and be like what that worked. Well let me test you because ther
e's no team giving up more points to tight ends right now than Philadelphia. I knew it was going to happen. And Kate Otten was six for 41 last week. So you're going to have a pass for us. You're going to have Kate Otten available on the field all the time. Are you...do you have the stones to play Kate Otten this week over to Dallas Goddard? No. I know that having the stones is the right way to look at that. Do you have the insanity? Yeah. I would still roll with Dallas Goddard over Kate Otten. U
nequivocally. But is Kate Otten a play this week? I mean we talk about... Sure. Because we're talking about tight end matchup being kind of...yeah it's nasty. I just feel like Kate Otten maybe suffers from being named Kate Otten and we don't think of him in the right lens because this is a...you know it's a second year tight end. He's their full time tight end. Because it's a floor play. Like you're... Right. When you play Kate Otten and you get six for 41, I mean you're ecstatic about that. Lik
e you are super juiced up. If you get three for 30 from Otten, you're like, yeah we did it baby. I got some points. I feel like Ferguson though. Like he's in that same category as Otten. But I'm going for touchdowns. Well I'm not confident that Otten's going to get touchdowns. And I would just throw out...we've seen Hunter Henry really be a focal point of the New England Patriots offense. He had a good week against Philly and last week it was TJ Hawkinson. So they've played two legitimate tight
ends when you look at...oh they've given up a lot of fancy points so far this year. They were pretty good against tight ends last season. We believe in Otten if he has a big week this week. Is he going to be... Yeah he'll certainly be more on my believable radar. All right the Rams are one and one and they take on Cincinnati. Cincinnati's 0-2 in the Draft King Sports Book line here at Cincinnati minus three at home over under 43 and a half. The rematch of the Super Bowl. Very close Super Bowl. A
nd Joe Burrow I think he's going to be playing. Seems like probably yeah. But are you playing him? Yeah I mean if he's playing I'm probably playing him. The worst part of the decision is that it is Monday night. And it is the second of the Monday night games. Like if you're playing is Joe Burrow... You better have Stafford. Yeah I guess you could pick up Stafford. That's you know that's my advice. If you're rolling with Joe Burrow and you're locking that in. Stafford is probably on your waiver w
ire. I'd go pick him up because I do not want to get into Monday night get a whoops doozle Joe Burrow aggravated and his calf running onto the field. I'm not playing the Bengals backup. I'm going to play Stafford so just protect yourself. 100% if you cannot get Stafford and you have Burrow if there's another option out there to stream I would start them on Sunday. If you could throw in Goff or Gino or those guys we were talking about I would start them ahead of time because this is the type of i
njury that even if he's said he's active could be a pregame change of mind. I do think he'll play and I think it's a benefit that they have the Monday night game for his kind of re-aggravation listening to the head coach talk about how he feels. I think he'll be out there which would be good news for Jamar Chase and T. Higgins who are just kind of auto plays anyways. What about the running backs in this game would you rather play Joe Mixon who's been the RB 27 and the RB 20 said 18 opportunities
per week or would you rather play Kyren Williams who is the running back to for fantasy on the year through two weeks. He's leading all running backs in targets. It got super juiced up this past week because week one was two for I don't know or maybe our box score is weird because I'm looking at two targets no receptions but somehow he had two receiving yards so we need to investigate that further. But last week tons and tons of targets the fact that he got it done against San Francisco always
a Van Jefferson lateral. Thank you Kyle. The fact that Kyren against a great defense got it done that gives me a ton of confidence and he's going to be the guy 95% snaps last week. I do not blame anyone who is looking to just catch the game where he officially goes on fire and even playing him over mix and I understand it. Well I mean this is the decision you have to make with Kyren because you picked him up off of waivers. Right. You're going to be benching players like Pacheco like Damian Pier
ce like Joe Mixon. These are the decisions people have to make and you're saying pretty much stay in the flames with Kyren. That's what I'm doing. And are you in the same boat? Yeah I am. I've got Kyren Williams as my running back eight this week so there's if you're able to bench him congrats you've got great other running backs. Matthew Stafford is the third highest passing yardage quarterback this year. Pook Newcomb and Tutu Atwell. Both of them have been very very good. In fact Tutu has run.
Good targets and chew bubble gum. Tutu has run more routes than anybody in football eight targets nine targets. Wow. And he's looked the part. He has made some great catches. He's had awesome separation. You should be able to play both those players. Okay. Judy or Tutu. Tutu. Drake London or Tutu. Drake. Drake London. Okay. All right. Not by a ton but I'd go Drake. You done with Tyler Higby for now? Yep. Nobody else from this game you guys want to talk about? Nope. David Montgomery some injury
updates for you not a practice on Friday. He's not going to be playing football. Almond Ross St. Brown. Dan Campbell said they feel pretty good that he will play week three. I'm I'm worried that that might be worse for fantasy players somehow. Yeah I think he'll be okay if he plays if he plays he'll be in my lineup. I think if it's worse it's worse because just give the guy some rest let him get to full strength but yeah I mean I don't think you bench him. Logan Thomas ruled out due to the concu
ssion so he will not be the tight end for the commanders this week. Kevin Sipansky said Kream Hunt will be playing on Sunday and they will see how much but that he's ready to go. That's great and Jalen Waddle update this is great he is practicing today he has not cleared the concussion protocol but usually when guys clear you know on that Saturday or whatever that only happens when this happens first and you get back to practice so a little bit of a little bit of hope. Okay let's move on. Fantas
y face off presented by draft Kings. Guys I completely I completely forgot. Oh I watched your face Jason and it was outstanding because it was like we're moving on the show is going Jason's bebop and he's happy and then it hit that you are once again. I'm sad that we had that beautiful video drop because that's when my face fell out my butt and you didn't get to see it. We had another yeah I don't know that expression but I believe it. I'm putting that in the vernacular though that was great. So
every week mano e mano e mano on draft Kings the fantasy face off once again week number two went my way. It's incredible. I have started to know which is delightful. This the punishment is so ridiculous so silly and I do not want to lose so feared. It is. By the three of us. Yeah so I ended up better hope there's not a tongue hole. Yeah I made sure of that. So yeah last week I was able to win Jason at the bottom to in a row Jay I know ready to do it. I don't think I've done your cooling off. Y
eah. We'll have shame. Oh baby. Oh I better not lose this week. Let's go. Let's spin that wheel. All right. We've got happy trees Geyser Viking and heads. Oh no we didn't have poppies Papa poppies Papa poppies Papa poppies Papa. Oh this is this the troll. Oh troll Poppy. Oh OK. So Jason you're going to have to take your old hat off. So he's got the hair. There's another piece. Oh is that a mustache. Oh we got a mustache for you Jason. Oh and we have eyebrows. Thank you. You want to help them out
with these. Are they ready to go. They're ready to go. You got my brother you're gonna have to take the glasses off Jason. I'm sorry. Oh maybe not. Oh yeah. A lot of sticky on my face. Yeah buddy you look good. Oh my goodness. Oh there it is. The camera can't even hold it in. I got you. All right. Oh yeah we're back. I am enjoying the winning part. Oh yeah. How about you Jay you enjoying this segment. I am loving it man. My love in this segment. All right we're into the lineups for week three.
Let's see if we can get it done again. Jason you look spectacular. This is one of my favorites. Pink is my color. Oh you look good. Who's the boxing promoter. Oh yeah. Don't you look like you got some Don King's right now. All right my quarterback this week going into week three draft. We all have the same quarterback. I've got Kirk Cousins. We have Kirk Cousins. I have Kirk Cousins. Yeah all right. I don't know how you. I tried to go away from it knowing that it probably be commonly but 6900 Ki
rk Cousins very nice in a cash game format which this is what we're playing because there's only the three of us. I don't know how you move away from Kirk. Exactly. So we all have Kirk Cousins. My running backs I am I am going with the same two I ran out last week. I'm going B John Robinson at 7800 and Jameer Gibbs at 6600. Okay. They're in the same matchup. The targets will be flowing and that's where I'm going. Okay at running back I've got a couple of guys I am counting on to do big things. T
ony Pollard in a massive. He was he was in my lineup for so long. But I did move away 8000 right 8000 so he is expensive playing against Arizona and Travis ETN at a very nice 6900. Those two running backs are going to be stalwarts for my roster and that that's about 500 more than my pair. So you spent up on the best matchups of the week. Some favorite favorite teams Mike Travis ETN will be a wash for the two of us Jason I also will be enjoying his services as my start of the week and then I'm go
ing to go with the best as my start of the week and then Ken Bone Walker the third 6200 against Carolina heavy heavy home favorites. It should be delightful. Well that's fun. We've got some live players there at the running back position other than you two sharing Mr ETN my wide receivers. Give me a guest Justin Jefferson. Yeah. Yeah. We all have Justin. We do. We don't. What I wasn't able to afford him. You have Kirk in and you didn't stack. I did stack. Okay. You went okay. Okay. Well I have J
efferson at ninety three hundred. That was my mind though. I have Ken Allen at 7600 in the same matchup. Yeah that that was my original lineup. I had those exact guys just Justin Jefferson and Ken Allen in order to afford my running backs I went with. I took out one more. You got one more. I got to share. Who is it. Justin Jefferson Ken Allen and Tank Dell at thirty six hundred. So I originally had those three but I pivoted to afford more on my running backs. I went with Jordan Addison instead o
f Justin Jefferson paid down there at only fifty five hundred. I feel like he's mispriced. I wanted the value over Justin Jefferson but I do have Ken Allen and I do have Tank Dell. Do you really. I do. I that's a bit unfortunate. I knew we would all have tanked out because oh really because he's thirty six hundred man and like a player who can get ten targets for that price. Okay. You have to go with it. I have Justin Jefferson of course I had Ken Allen for a long time but I made some moves to a
djust the roster so I have his counterpart. I have Mike Williams at six thousand so that will be a very enjoyable situation where we are shouting either Kenan or Mike Williams or and Jefferson and Addison. So that'll be fun. I don't like being the one that doesn't have Justin Jefferson officially on record saying I will. I'm gonna make an outfit right now. It's got more weight to it. Yeah. Could you. You got to fix your mustache a little bit. Bring one slide down a little bit. It's stuck to me.
Okay. Well here's my fine. Look I it costs a lot to go cousins. Beige on Gibbs Jefferson and Allen. So now we're looking at the bargains. My tight end at twenty seven hundred is the pass catching tight end for the Washington commanders is called Turner. Oh. I was called Turner in the absence of Logan Thomas. I was waiting to hear on that definitively it came just in time. Logan Thomas out called Turner in Buffalo pass rush. What's the price there. Twenty seven hundred. Oh right. He's deliciously
cheap. Yeah. Again it was very hard to afford what I had at the top of this lineup which makes thirty two hundred Nelson Aguilar. He's my flex play. I don't think Beckham's out there and unfortunately that left me with only one defense I could afford one. It's always fun. Arizona. Yeah. At home against Dallas. I'll be hoping for they've got nine sacks through two weeks hoping for one defensive play one tip pass one miraculous the special teams play but Arizona put up 19 points in this draft Kin
gs in week one against Washington. I'll be praying. Yeah. It's all I could do to afford what I had. Yeah. I it'll time will tell here one of us is going to win. I've got a another cheap tight end as well only two hundred dollars more than yours at twenty nine hundred. Oh no Durham. It is Durham. He is everyone's. Is he in yours. Yeah. All right. I'm just saying globally. Yes. Yes. I have the Jets defense at twenty eight hundred against New England Patriots. They're at home and another great valu
e to me. Mari Cooper who I think has a great matchup at home against the Tennessee Titans is only fifty seven hundred. So Smythe Cooper and the Jets Smythe the Jets Zay flowers will be my difference maker at the flex position. Another team will be rooting for for different flowers. I mean you want to again talking about Miss pricing fifty four hundred for Mr. Zay flowers at home should be soaking up the those first three targets. I guys I'm very happy with the squad and that's like I had to give
a big shout out thanks to Jason because he started he started strutting in the office and he said I did it. I built the perfect draft Kings lineup and I was done and I said oh well he looks like a man who built the perfect lineup. So I went back into the laboratory changed things up and my lineup is infinitely better. Well look here's some some more news from Al Borne. He said that your eyebrows and mustache are not going to come off easily. Oh I believe it. Well the nice thing is that they are
currently on here. So I will have to rip them off. The adhesive it came with was was subpar. So we upgraded. Did you have a lot of goodness gracious. We got any like baby oil around here. Well we'll worry about that later. We'll figure it out. That was fantasy face off presented by draft Kings sportsbook.

And as that last drive got going we put the sharp objects away and he did not get those last night but you didn't nail all the other parts of the par leg. Good job. I did. Yeah. Five or six legs. All right. Paid nothing but still had a good week. We're done with the show. Jason you're looking special. And I'm no
t taking it off so the adhesive is no problem. Join Mike on Sunday ballers live dot com. Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the fantasy footballers podcast. Join our fantasy football community on join the foot dot com and follow us on Twitter at the FF ballers.
