You got ankle problems. He's questionable for tomorrow,
night's game against Cincinnati. Now the betting
Market thinks he's not going to play because the one line
opened since Daddy - to
now. It's Cincinnati - 4 which means that there is some
confidence. He's not going to play. So what are you doing
with tour?
Well, the nice thing here is that you can wait to see what
I'm doing with to is, I'm waiting to see if he's active
or not.
It's the first game of the seat of the week. JC. That's,
this is how this works, you know, like it's helpful.
Actually because if he is in activ, then you don't I'm going
to do. I'm going to move them out of my way, you can do that.
Well, I noticed and I will find another option.
I will ideally slide into my IR spot and creating a roster spot
where I can go pick up a quarterback and we'll talk
about some quarterbacks later in the show that are out there
in leagues that we think are viable streamers
this week, including
Marcus Mariota of your beloved Atlanta Falcons. Yes, wait,
daddy. Buggs? They're at home against a
Defense, that's 18th against the pass. So that's a guy that
I think is a viable potential streamer
this week. So at any rate,
you know, something, something think about there. So we'll go
through and we'll talk about that in a little bit but if he
doesn't play yeah Teddy Bridgewater. Does that impact
what you thinking about Tyree
kill jail and waddle Etc?
It does in terms of I think potentially betting it does in
terms of DFS if you're playing a one-game slate. But I think
for fantasy
See, football purposes know.
You're still starting Tyree kill your still starting Jalen
waddle because each of those guys has the ability to catch
a bubble screen from Teddy Bridgewater
and run, 80 yards to a touchdown touchdown. Teddy.
Look, Teddy. You're not gonna have the big plays that you did
under to, if bread Bridgewater is under Center obviously,
right? To your point, one of the most conservative
quarterbacks in the NFL and Teddy Bridgewater check down
Teddy. But having said that like, it's a short week, right?
You don't love this and the games in So they're traveling
on a short week. None of that is ideal.
Having said that Teddy Bridgewater's fine,
like he's not a, he's not an awful quarterback, he's not
a disaster to quarterback. This is a guy that's been a starting
quarterback in the NFL for multiple Seasons, multiple NFL
teams and
like he's fairly accurate. So again
again it's going to be all short line of scrimmage stuff
but no one's better at creating yards after after contact then,
then Mike McDaniel. So he's going to scheme them open,
they'll be fine. I can't imagine benching
Tyree kill or Jalen waddle based on What they've done.
Now, I think that some of the
the
some of the borderline guys, like, if you were thinking
about, hey, maybe mikasuki, can I get away with them this week?
I'm probably not doing Mike. This sticky like, the running
backs are are kind of, you know, touchdown dependent Flex
plays here,
but for Ty Rican and waddle, I think you got to start them.
Yeah, speaking of Tyreke, we've got some sound, very excited,
Tyree kill about the matchup with a lie. Apple
Molly Brown Bryant on their way,
I know that Amazon
That's gonna be late right now. I ain't even know that for.
But yeah, looking forward to who we play.
Looking forward to the challenge is going to be fun,
and no, and I can't wait to go against Eli Apple. Man, I owe
you boy.
I owe you. I'm here.
The cheetah is here.
Let's eat.
I owe you boy. I'll tell you it is here. I'm taking Tyra killed
- 1000 of that matchup to embarrass a lie. Apple
now. But I think obviously Tyreke waddled, I will be fine.
The Bengals defense hasn't allowed a touchdown in 20
straight drives. I've also gone against Joe Flacco and
I can't even really make the joke about Cooper Rush anymore
because it turns out Cooper. Russia is good, but I think
the Dolphins running backs that's the more interesting situation,
Chase Edmunds, where he most that,
he starting either of those guys. And what's the hierarchy?
So I'm not, I mean, I, you know, I have them both outside
my top 35 here. You think about the Bangles of the
eight best run defense? So far,
in the NFL they've,
they've played well the Bangles have again, this is a road game
here. Maybe a less explosive offense. If Teddy Bridgewater
is under Center. Most art,
you know, Edmonds has had only one game with double-digit
touches so far this year, this that was Week 1 against
the Patriots. Most art scene two or fewer targets into the three
games this year. I mean like it just the usage
Has been inconsistent of those running backs, I suppose, if
I had to, if I had to start one case, I guess Edmonds because
he's the passing down back Bangles are favored. We expect
again, Bridgewater check down Teddy, maybe he throws a little
bit more to Edmonds.
He's more than passing down back, although they do like
most of them that role somewhat as well. But again, do a few
Target Two or fewer targets into the three games this
season for r-rahim o start. So both outside my top. 35,
I think they're I
think they're, you know, they're sort of
For a touchdown flexes.
Yep. That makes sense. It does tend to be trending, most that
a little bit in terms of the snap count, the out snapped in
2419 house having Edmonds. That is just a weird game against
Buffalo, where the Miami offense was just never on
the field, right? Jalen was
throwing 60 times, I'm not sure. You can really read too
much into that for anything but Edmunds and get the goal line
carrying converted that which, you know, again, we think most
hurts the going back and that's not
how it played out.
So
yes. I mean, the question is, am I starting either of them?
Italy on Thursday night. The answer is no, yep. Now, try
mixing a little bit of an injury doubt over him. Still
think that he will go
to stashing smudge a pair on, right? I am
so there's a weird thing in Yahoo and I don't I'll be
honest with you, I don't like this. Okay, I'm not in favor of
this rule. I think the Yahoo people should clean this up but
it's there and so as long as the loophole exists, we might
as well take advantage of it. And the fact of the
matter is that you can
wave a player, as long as you don't start him,
you can wave a player at any time. So I
so in other Words, you could. If you had Joe mix on your
roster,
you could pick up some adjey perine,
he's on your bench assuming Joe Miss, if Joe Mixon is inactive
for Thursday night, great. You've got some ID appear and
you start him here on has been
effective when he has filled in for
mixing
but assuming mix-ins. Active. Okay great. I'm gonna I'm Gonna
Roll with Joe Mixon. I've got perine on my badge, assuming
mix and makes it through the game Thursday night healthy.
Then on Friday you literally can drop perine from your bench
even
So he's played. This is a weird thing on Yahoo, even though
he's played, you can actually drop perine and now you have
an empty roster spot.
If you play on another platform
that is not allowed
but I still would do that.
I think mixing is too good and so much usage. And we've seen
perine be effective again and get the majority of work when
mixing is out that I think Pariah is a must roster
if you have mixed on your team. So yes,
I would grab some ijp run, especially given the fact that,
you know, it's a short week on the road, Zack, Taylor saying,
Mix and we'll be good to go. But sometimes coaches lie,
sometime, coaches, don't know.
Sometimes you never know mix and has dealt with injuries in
his past. That makes sense, okay? A lot of news coming out
of London, which is yeah, most people in America. Think I'm
from even though I'm from Australia, which doesn't how's
the city of London, right. In any case, the big news Jameis
Winston prove that. Ah
but Australian I talk Australian. It's just everyone
thinks that Australian people British people, South Africans.
Right people from New Zealand. It's all kind of just one. You
have an
Accent. Yes, you have an ax. I drive an accent right now. But
you are not. You are not from London. I'm not from London.
You're not from London. You're not from England. You you
actually are insulted. When people think you're from
London, you hate London. You
hate the English people. I like London.
I'm okay with the English people.
I'm not insulted
to take off those. It's not what you think.
This is, not what he told me off. Are I just want you to
know? He gets really, really offended. I love London. I love
people from all Creeds and races. You do not you hate.
You hate being thought of from being from,
That you are only.
He is Australia or bust. So just so you know this is what
this is, what I talk. Like an Australian, an English person
would be like it's Jameis Winston going to play mate
right
now. Different question, is Jameis Winston Gonna Fly Man?
Master thespian. There you go en scene for Jay Croucher. Now,
he's going to back,
Jameis, Winston a transverse fracture
in that back,
he hasn't played great so far, but he is airing it out. And
Michael Thomas, he's got an ankle problem as well. Neither
a practicing. So
this is probably a
For your time, it's depressing. How much younger you are than
me? I these companies keep putting me with, like, you
know, really young co-host. I don't know what they're, what,
they're trying to tell me here,
but there's an old Monty Python movie, right? You know, and
it's,
and there's a scene in the movie. It's a very famous
scene, where, I believe it's a Life of Brian where
he's trying. He's basic, there's a duel
at the bridge and the guy gets his arm, cut off his, it's on
us. It's a flesh wound. Yes. It's like what made you want to
get them to do? You notice like that is a No-No
and he's like he's got one arm and blood.
Coming out of the thumb. Let's go and it just fine Cuts up
the other arm. Let's go with dude, you're bleeding for at some
flesh wound, right? And just anyway, it's a brilliant
one. Brilliant scene. I did not do it. Justice all find it on
YouTube. Are you familiar with this at all? Yeah. And also
a good job. Caching the over two-and-a-half mates being said
on the show and you're the one who cashed it as well. Good for
you. There you go. I love the London people, I am not like
Jay
Croucher, I Cheerio mates.
So but my point is I feel like that's Jameis Winston.
He's got a fractured back. He's got, he's got you.
No, he's got mangled ribs, he's like, you know, like whatever.
He's you know, he needs a kidney transfusion, he's fine.
He'll be fine. I'll be out there. Like it's unbelievable.
This guy just it doesn't matter what injury shows up. James is
like yeah I got it. Yeah fractured back. I don't know.
But it's funny produce a bra and he
was telling us about how
all the saints I got this easy scheduled coming up for Jamis.
It's like well he's also got a fractured his back. Does
the schedule really matter that much as much as the transverse
fracture in his back. I mean I
he's Bruce Willis and Unbreakable
I mean, it's weird but like,
let's hear it for Jameis Winston.
Dennis Allen. The head coach of the Saints does not think there
is any concern for his availability this week. He
missed Wednesday, practice last week, as well, obviously played
didn't play well, but he did get out there
but the six scariest words in the English language were
spoken this morning. Jay Crouch and those are Andy Dalton
taking first team reps.
Terrifying, terrifying utterances? Yes, yes, look.
I think of course a Lobby if you have album chimera,
Where are you on the Saints?
I mean,
I'm praying the Gemma supplies because I think that this
offense has a real upside with Jim has. He's leading
the league in average depth of Target. Chris are lava is
facing off of that Jameis Winston in 2019 was the third
ranked quarterback in fantasy. If you
let him go full Jamis
then he can deliver huge yards
and Chris I lava is joint favorite for offensive rookie
of the year. If that's Andy Dalton trying to get him
the ball, then he's done then I would rank certainly Drake.
Didn't Garrett, Wilson above Chris are lava.
But look, I think I mean, on Jamis, if he keeps playing
because the Trent Dilfer game manager, Jamis, the carp James
not even half James quarter Jamis last year.
No good. This full Jamis. I'm all-in.
Yeah, and you like the matchup against the vent? Minnesota
Vikings. Again, this this is the London game. It will be
Sunday morning at 9:30 but Vikings 29th against the past
so far this season, like you can throw on Minnesota. We've
seen Jared Goff have success against the
Vikings obviously. So,
You know, my expectation here, is that Jamis plays has a good
game.
You're starting Chris olave.
We'll see about Michael Thomas, also, not a practice today. He
left the game early last week. Michael Thomas to go with your
unbreakable thing as the Samuel L Jackson. Mr. Gloss, right. He
has a little bit.
Yeah. Yeah. Nice job. So a little shout-out to M Night
Shyamalan. Yeah, shout out to Unbreakable, right? Exactly. By
the way, controversial take
yeah I'm not Shyamalan is the most overrated director in
Hollywood history. I don't think that's a controversial
type. Get it. Like people love, like fifth sense, it's six
cents. Six cents is a brilliant movie,
The Sick. Sorry that's it. Fits up to the different. The Sixth
Sense is hearing, right? Exactly. The Sixth Sense is
a truly brilliant,
brilliant movie.
Love that movie. Didn't see. The ending coming.
Unbelievable six cents.
Brilliant everything since then, including unbreakable is
awful and people love her unbreakable. As I like, you
know
brick, here's me, get to it, get to it.
Oh, Got to that's me watching unbreakable. Well, like
I can't. I'm out on M, Night Shyamalan. All right, people
keep giving a movies. There's an amazing graph of like
the Rotten Tomatoes mater of his films over time. So it's like
six cents really good unbreakable a little
bit worse, signs a little bit worse, The Village a little bit
worse and then all of a sudden you're at The Last Airbender,
right? So it's going off a cliff. It's on my right.
Unbelievable. Like what was the old? What was the movie on
the beach? Like the one that was like, I saw the
like I hated the commercials for it. That's when you're
watching on a plane with the volume off.
Yeah. Most overrated Rector identify and, and
in cinema history.
Okay, I'm Night. Shyamalan logging on that game.
Alvin Kamara. His flock of pause game touches. Is that
a concern? It is a, it is somewhat.
I think we have two small sample size though, right?
Because you, we've had two games he missed. Actually we
have a game and a half. He left week one, a little bit early.
He didn't play in week 2,
then, you know, week 3. Obviously, that is a concern.
I have to believe, though, that we have seen
Alvin Kamara be successful fantasy wise,
Guys, with Jameis Winston under Center. We've actually, he's
been better with Jamis then who has been more like taysom Hill
or, you know, any of the other quarterbacks that they've sort
of rolled out there and they post Drew Brees era. So
I'm not concerned just yet. He's too talented. That's too
big. A part of his game for them to be. If we go another
week or two without it, then you're like, oh boy.
But yes, I'm I'm still in on, I'm still starting a Lobby this
week. I haven't as a wide receiver 23. I still think
Jameis Winston is a viable streamer. By the way, can we
just real quickly? They want me to get to Zach Wells, and we'll
do this.
Good. But just real quickly, flash up Jameis Winston's
upcoming schedule.
If you can do this for me because it's upcoming
schedules, actually, really, really nice.
Jameis Winston if you think about what, what, what's coming
up for for the Saints,
obviously, Minnesota this week.
And after that, Seattle home to Seattle, home to Cincinnati at
Arizona, home to Vegas home to the Baltimore secondary, which
apparently is just terrible. Again at Pittsburgh, it's as
good as it gets. I just, I do think
XO, so my guess is again, if you're, if you're sitting there
sifting through quarterbacks and trying to play, you know,
quarterback roulette. I do think Jameis, Winston,
I starting this week
is a viable streamer
real quickly. Speaking of a viable streamer. Zach Wilson
announced by head coach Roberts Ila today, that he is medically
cleared to play,
right? So he's medically cleared to play. That is for
the NFL not necessarily for moms.
The fact here.
Is that good? Good delivery. I appreciated that very I was
astounded.
Keep moving on here. Think about what Joe Flacco is done
Joe Flacco so far
can be 21. QB 6, QB, 32
had a bad game last week but was fantasy viable. The first two
weeks and he's had at least 44 pass attempts in every game
this season. I think that's the most important thing. Zac
posen's going to be Chuck in the ball a lot. So I do think
that if you think there's anything there with Zach
Wilson, as, as a fantasy viable quarterback, may be worth
picking up a special
See if you're in a somewhat deeper League, they're playing
the Steelers to your point who are bottom 10 pass defense so
far this year worth noting that from weeks
from weeks, one through seven last year, when Zach Wilson
played Elijah more was wide receiver, 91. And be
interesting to see if we can get Elijah more off the schneid
or if this continues
to be Garrett. Wilson's offense, from a passing
perspective, be a little bit worried about Garrett Wilson,
not that I think is going to be bad or anything, just because
Flacco's clearly locked onto him and he's getting all
the targets. And we have this established obey its
Whole track record of guard Wilson, bang the guy in a Joe
Flacco passing offense and now it's just different. It might
be the same, but it might be worse as well. And so, I think
there's a little bit of uncertainty, but you still have
to start Garrett Wilson every week at this point, and
at least a larger more. This might be a part of him getting
even though was bad with Zach. Wilson, it's something
different for him to in a positive sense.
Last thing here, for me, on the road world, headlines is that
Dak Prescott on his week for return? Says not, probably not.
This is a quote, but week five against the Rams that
That's the one I'm looking at now. Mike McCarthy said, I do
not have a timeline for when he will start throwing but In
fairness, Mike McCarthy doesn't know a lot about what's going
on with this team.
Like he's just, he's just trying to his finest fun,
trying to find the keys to the locker room like you know,
I mean, let's be clear. So
real Whipping Boy on the
I'm not a Mike McCarthy
McCarthy is the M Night Shyamalan
of NFL head coaches. Yeah, 2010 Super Bowl. Which was his
sixth sense? Yeah, it goes down and down down. Yeah, I can say
that numbers are there. Yeah, that look at the number line,
I'm right. On this, by the way, Um,
but the fact of the matter is, is that quote,
that Prescott is not 100% raw stirred in Yahoo leagues. So
we're looking to see. Hey, is he out there? Because again,
looks like he could be back sooner rather than later.
Again, he's saying week five, the team is not necessarily
committing to him.
He's 0 and one of the Season Cooper rushes to and I know
we'll see. Although I think Cooper Rush gets his first loss
of the season with my commander. No, well take charge
three-point dogs, I like it. Yeah, I think that could they
take command?
They sell that well enough iron. So again,
they go exactly one thing with Jack Prescott, softer. You got
injured against the Patriots and wake, six, lost you and
the cough. Yeah, wasn't really good in the last two months of
the Season, obviously and have a good week. One
this year against an amazing Tampa Bay defense. But look,
you have to pick up Dak Prescott. You have to start
that Prescott. I just wouldn't be expecting him necessarily to
be a top ten quarterback from the jump. Yeah, I mean, look, I
after returning from one game from injury last season, weeks
nine, through 18, He His quarterback 8 in points per
game, which is fine, right? I mean like and that's basically
where I ranked him in the preseason. He's a lower tier
qb1. Yep.
And by the way, when you sit there and look around the lower
tier QB 1s right. Think about that? I mean Aaron Rodgers. Tom
Brady, the guys that went in that range, right? I mean like,
you know, like Matthew Stafford has been a little bit up and
down,
you know, like Kirk Cousins a little bit up and down, like,
the guys that went in that range, their cars, been good,
but like, it's been a bad year for a lot of quarterback so
far.
Knock right. And doc I mean a lot of that ranking at the end
of last season was going into your commanders in Primetime.
That's right. Sure. About anything. Yeah. And then and
then the Eagles backups and week a team. But yeah.
Doc you have to start him if he's back if he's healthy.
Okay. We're going to go to break but
I just think it's a better off. I'm just saying. Like again,
you're sitting around like if you're sitting here,
you'd rather Dak Prescott then Zach Wilson. Yeah, 100%. All
right, Danny caught up, unless you're coming
to join us on keeping people over to close it out.
Out,
I might not be here. Denny death. It will be though.
