CTESPN Presents: Eric's Tears
here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go week two episode two guy welcome back back at it again guy how are we doing great how excited are you that the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl um I mean unlikely but I would have yeah I'm top of the AC north to a no depression depression just the fields gets a Super Bowl Russell Wilson gets a Super Bowl I mean Dean Russell already has a Super Bowl he doesn't mean a nothing but in Stiller Scholars Mike Tomlin is feeling dangerous the only one I need the Super Bowl is J fields J fields Nashie Harris needs a Super Bowl for sure yeah for sure he needs a Super Bowl George Pickens needs a Super Bowl I think Chase Claypool would probably get an honorary ring if they won or maybe they would just bring him back I don't know a wild rambling to start this is he on a team I just thought about that isn't isn't he on the bills is he on the practice squad I haven't not seen him I thought he was on the bills this offseason like on the active roster god I don't know let me look this up now asking tough questions to start this podcast cheese cheese cheese yeah I did because it's funny but now a piece of free agent yeah I mean not surprising really he's in a bills jersey in his picture I don't know whatever probably got good yeah probably probably wanted too much money if I had to guess okay boys welcome in episode two for anybody that still listen to the podcast shout out Alex because he does not he said he's gonna start listening say he's gonna listen episode one today you think he actually did it no probably not he sits in too many meetings all day he doesn't have the time so but for all you other DJs out there that actually listen to podcast while they work we love you we appreciate you unless your name is Jared Miller or Eric E. and now we appreciate everybody we hate you okay yeah we appreciate you we appreciate you we just don't love you about that bear state you are the enemy of the podcast for what reason I don't know anymore but it's just turned out that way so well it's just a hater and everything you say that's why that's why he's in I guess that's true yeah and we hate Jared because I don't know he's Jared he's corrupt yeah corrupt corrupts reigning champion even though he didn't deserve it and sense really really really terrible trade over we don't like him anymore because he gave up the Mills yeah I was like one redeeming quality it's gone it's gone oh so sad so sad Jared okay welcome in um it's been a great week honestly I feel like we just recorded this the first episode it's been this week is flown by it's flown by I feel like we're just an ocean city too and that is also flown by but back to reality back to recording sad over the computer podcasts I mean last week was too but just back again and I'll open the floor for any ramplings he got this week whatever what do you want to talk about I mean there's a lot of things we can talk about but where do you want to start hmm you know we didn't talk college football last week so we're gonna start with that yeah let's let's get that out of the way Wisconsin Badgers took a big fat ass kicking at home bail Alabama yeah expected expected Luke's pickles said in the in the post game he said if you never seen an ass whooping that's what it looks like that's great just wasn't yeah not the Wisconsin team to compete with Alabama this year they're really bad like I was talking to Eric on Sunday about he's like kind of you're not overlooked fickle but he's getting to the point it's been a year and a half I'm just I'm just relaying the message again good Lord okay interesting Eric wants results I mean you see we'll take it back because you see ooh yeah they're not that good they did be Miami and they claimed a flag yeah it was so I did see that that was a really really embarrassing it's kind of embarrassing there wasn't a ton of good games this week I didn't buy it yeah there was it yeah I don't understand week up a bi week after on week three but yeah Arch manning Arch manning Arch manning looked good against a really crappy team I don't even know they played UTSA UTSA so yeah I think he's gonna start maybe a couple weeks quick when yours is hurt that dude always gets hurt seems like when yours does he yeah it's like the third year of row he's missed he's gonna have missed potentially multiple weeks with the injury but Arch manning looked pretty good so I don't think they play anyone LSE barely beat South Carolina yeah Frank Kelly's job yeah they saw Carolina got kind of got screwed not gonna lie so Carolina is there going that game well had just for sure what yeah there's a couple two pick sixes got called back the last one was so like they called an unnecessary roughness because the quarterback got blocked got absolutely pounded interesting he was trying to make a tackle so I don't understand why that's unnecessary random yeah that would have put him up 11 I think that don't think I'll see would have come back it that counted back you're a broad wind up winning that game actually don't know the pit yeah pit one pit one pit one Mizzou B Boston College yeah I'll find the best game of the week Michigan won against Arkansas State but God they look bad Georgia Kentucky yeah I didn't watch that game but I actually did it's pretty ugly one touchdown in the game I actually watched like the second half of that game yeah and it was really really gross and of course Georgia just pulled it out kind of like Chiefs kind of like the Chiefs did I think every year Georgia and Kentucky is always close for God knows what reason I don't know why Georgia plays Kentucky close every year but they do yeah but going back to Michigan they're they're they're switching quarterbacks up Davis Warren I think his name is who did not throw an incompletion guy but he threw three picks his three incompletions were picks yikes so he's getting the big old bench for Alex orgy and that guy's not very good either Alex orgy his last name is orgy yeah it is cool dude I want to know what his college life is like good Lord it's probably pretty good he's a quarterback from Michigan yeah and his last name is orgy I feel like that that plays feel like that plays he lives in a co-ed dorm to yeah I feel like that plays that'll do he has a lot to open his and his of course did you just say that or does that actually true I mean I just said it but it's probably true probably true it's not like that yeah he can't throw he's basically running back he's gonna be a wildcat quarterback for them yeah Michigan's got a Michigan's got a quarterback problem and they play USC this week so I'm excited to see how that goes I'm interested to see that's probably in the week it's my game of the week all right cool is that enough any other the Michigan state play this week um you know I don't think so I don't think that I think they were all by too interesting um if they just played they probably won but they do get Ohio State next week ooh sounds like a little side bit needs to be made here yeah Jared wants some money on that game another uh just to cover your uh 24 pack just the spread not the money line do that not the money line we yeah I'd definitely do that all right any other college football you want to talk about nope I think that's it for college football all right pretty light week anything else going on Zaver just got a new commit today sharp shooter yeah we'll see him in about three years that's quickly approaching Zaver basketball thing all practice starts here in like maybe two weeks yeah that's crazy yeah first preseason game will probably what is it like first of November something like that that's still that's still a little bit away it's still over a month we got time yeah I'm not ready for I'm not I'm still transitioning out of summer it's still summer to me so okay this is a great this is a great topic early in the podcast people are maybe still listening please respond in the group chat when you're listening to this maybe I'll put a poll up I don't know is soup okay two questions is soup a meal yes by itself I'm not asking you I know where you said is super meal okay and the next question is when is it acceptable to start eating soup because inherently we're just unless you believe that soup is like an all your food and you're kind of crazy but soup inherently you know cold weather food so let us know either give us like a date or like after a holiday or give us like a temperature wise season when you think it's okay to eat soup just curious just real real curious for some internal debate about what the league thinks all right I mean gotta get me gotta give me like a minute to explain here no I don't think you need to I don't I don't think you need a second all right okay I mean I was just going to leave it at no explanation we can just take the data unbiased okay but I want you to take the information soups can be eaten when football starts there okay but do you mean pre-season do you mean college and I'm getting spring no it I felt we're not doing X that's felt for like spring college football now okay now I'm in the first NFL game starts regular season soup season starts all right all right you heard Zach's dance everybody let us know if you will or if you don't eat it can be a side or a meal yeah but that wasn't the question I was asking it's definitely a side but is it do you consider it a full meal if you're just thinking about soup I'm not asking you god okay that's my that's my rambling for today there's never there's nothing else I really I don't think there's anything else I feel like talking about nothing I really jotted down oh you know actually you know okay tooth tooth there are two things when we're gonna move into NFL not with these things one we forgot to do the around the league update last week talking about everyone's favorite teams they won or lost we did that actually just came to me right now and then the second thing is we forgot to talk about Russ Russ Wilson last week being inactive but dressing in full pads and I black on the second yeah but Steelers fans will adamantly tell you that he was the emergency quarterback he was he was I don't understand they said he was an active yeah but you know the new rule is here where you can designate an emergency quarterback to have where they don't have to take up the roster spot yeah which I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure that's that's how it works okay there yeah there is a new emergency quarterback designation this year and I'm pretty sure they don't have to be like quote active and take up a spot so you don't have to carry three quarterbacks on an active Sunday so but still regardless that's the one man that you think would just cosplay as a quarterback even if he was like broken leg he would still do it it's still the best part was he had I black on like yeah he looked like guy he looked like you he looked like you full pads at the draft kind of good yeah they were in a dome and I black on guy that's just his thing mister unlimited unlimited you gotta be unlimited yeah is he gonna start because no Mike Tomlin says that just I know just yeah just a field until they lose or until just some fields does something really stupid I don't think he's gonna do something so stupid he could he could have like a four turn every game they'll give they'll give it back to Russ at some point maybe like after the bye week or something whatever that is what if they just keep winning of them they'll stick to I don't stick to field see a danger Russell they're not going undefeated though I come on I know I know that because you said they're not going to the Super Bowl so yeah I mean they played to I mean Denver was brief cupcake but Atlanta is at least decent I guess they beat the beat the Eagles last night yeah they did indeed so okay let's let's do that let's do that if I'll recap then before we get into our next segment so let's see bears play the Texans on Sunday night that was a crazy game that was like a sloppy sloppy sloppy very very sloppy chaotic game that the Texans ended up winning but like not by that much not as much as you would have thought considering if you watched the game and you watched Caleb Williams play yeah and yeah they had a chance to win at the end yeah so we're tied yeah they're chance tie Steelers won we already talked about that who the Packers won maybe the Colts that also was a just stinky games yeah really stinky game who the frick else do we have I think it's just bangles now raise I feel like we're going to get the Lions the Lions oh yeah the Lions lost to the books at home to the books yeah that was a that was actually a fun game not gonna lie at least watching it on red zone it was pretty fun there was a lot of stuff happened and then the bangles which was a depressing game and also lost because trash trash game cheaps always get away with everything so I do so yeah okay let's get into the mailbag before we get into the AB segment of the week so let's start with Eric's because everybody saw Eric's text in the group chat he wanted to see oh yeah also we are sponsored by CTESPN thank you for listening to the CTESPN network okay Eric wants the CTESPN stats and info department to look up whether there was a more brutal loss ever in our league history than the one that Eric personally suffered last night which no one feels bad about Eric yeah and I will have you know Eric that our stats and research team did a thorough deep dive that took hours out of their work day me to figure out if this is true or not and it is not true there have been worse losses than yours last night so congratulations and we will go through them although I will say I do not have the info the information the detailed information on previous games about if it was a last play of the game well actually it wasn't even last play of the game one of the last drives of the game touchdown that sealed it for Jared to beat you I don't have that information handy to me but I do have the difference in points scored in some other match ups in our league that have existed so we can go through them the one that you suffered last night or this past week week two was a difference of what point three point three six points and I'll run you through some of our other ones and actually it's quite it's quite uncanny you have been on both the winning and losing side of quite a few of the sub one point wins and losses in the history of our league like I looked up there were at least seven one point or less than one point losses that we've had in our league history and you were in at least three of them that seems like a high number honestly seven game I mean this is a lot there's been some there's been some I mean yeah close match ups I mean that's there's a lot of games to go back to you know we've been playing for what seven years and you know you play 14 games 14 regular season games a season so so yeah so we'll start off just really recently last night I beat Papas and I beat him by a score of oh what is this I can't do math I can't do quick maths point seven six so that came down to also the last drive because Kyle Pitts was going for Papas last night and he just had to get like four points four point three points and he only ended up a three point five one of them being a catch on the last drive of the game and then I thought for sure he would get another catch in the red zone or the touchdown which did not happen so I was hashtag blessed and then last year Eric you and Zach played twice very close games once in week three of the season and Zach beat you by point six two which is pretty embarrassing considering Zach won three games all year yeah but my team was good or not good I started two and one true and that was one of that was your second win week three yeah and then Alex also had a loss which I'm not going to include in this less than one point because it was not less than one point but he had a loss two years ago when he came in last place in the league that he would have won his match up if George Pickens hadn't heartbreakingly dropped a wide open walk in touchdown on the last play of the game and then he wouldn't have lost the league. Yeah he wouldn't have come in last so I would have come in last. Would Eric guarantee me? No I think it would have been Matt. No I can't remember. No. Maybe not. I think either Eric or Donald that year. Maybe. I know Eric for a fact was bad two years ago. So if you want to talk about just from an emotional standpoint if that's what you're talking about rather than actual points, I would venture to say Alex this is worse because he lost the entire league because of that. So again don't feel too bad on yourself. And then Eric like I mentioned last year he played Zach again but this time in week 12 and you ended up beating him by 0.76 points. I also would have not come in last if I would have pulled that game out. Correct. Alex. In 2020 Alex beat Eric by 0.24 in week 11. Alex beat Jimmy in 2020 week 13 by 0.36. That's crazy luck there. Two. Not second weeks but no within a three week span. Less than one point win. Less than half a point win. Yeah. Twice. That is some true that is that is some rough look there. I mean it truly truly truly is truly absolutely trash. Yeah. And then there were four other less than one point victories slash losses for people. They were more than the 0.7 and up range. So yeah it's actually it's pretty common to be quite honest. Yeah I mean it seems like you within a year. It's just how competitive our league is it's always possible. So so there you go CT ESPN stats and research department has provided that information for you to make you feel better or worse. And I think we've probably made you angry. So there we go. But we don't feel sorry for Eric about. We don't. I was actually quite ecstatic because when the drink when I was watching it live, Zach, you were in bed because you gave up on your team. I was trying to sleep. I was awake as was a lot of the league and Kyle Pitts caught a pass caught like a 15 yard pass on that drive when they went down and scored and I was shitting my pants. And so that last play in the red zone trick one and caught the touchdown and I was screaming my head off because it was not Kyle Pitts. But then I realized that before Eric before you texted, I realized that Jared, I was like, Holy shit, I got to go check the score of Jared Eric. And I saw that that's for and oh my god, it was just it was just amazing. It was just amazing to be quite honest. And then I realized that there was still time left on the clock for the Eagles to go down and do something. And then I realized that oh shit, Blaze could still beat Alex because he had Saquan and all he would need is like a long Saquan run or a long Saquan catch for like a touchdown. What's you know, possible. That was less likely. That was likely, but still possible. You would have had to get 11 points. You had a really long touch. Zack, you two were also still alive. If Tonta Smith had just caught a pass or Dallas Goddard had caught a long pass because you only lost by less than 7.6. Yeah. So I was like, oh shit. So yeah, really exciting into the game last night. Got a set. Yeah, if only Josh Jacobs wouldn't friggin fumble in the three yard line. Yeah, you would have won. All right. So then we got another mail bag from Jared Classic. Got three questions from Jared. We'll start with first one, very similar to question, Eric asked, but in a much different frame. He says, one of the biggest rushes I've had in a while. Question to you guys. And then he texted me this like last night after the game. His question is, do we have any memorable rushes like that? Any big time wins, any last second plays that put us over the top? And I mean, last night was pretty great for me. I didn't have anybody playing, but I got the win because Kyle Pitt scored sub 4.3. I mean, to be honest, no, because good things don't happen to me. Kyle, you've won the lead. Yeah. Well, I haven't had any. Nothing you can remember. Yeah. No close calls like where I won on the last drive of the game like that. All right. So I'm here in Zach's life is all pain and doom and misery. It's 95% pain, 5% good. Okay. Well, at least your whole team isn't hurt. Oh, wait. Yeah. You and Eric. There's a lot of injuries. Yeah. We'll get it. We'll get into that. Yeah. Okay. Second question from Jared, status check on the bangles. I mean, I feel a little bit better that they went to Arrowhead and should have won, played a lot, but I mean, not a lot better, but they played better than chiefs like absolutely should have won that game, but Patrick Mahomes, Patrick, I mean, he just gets bailout calls. Not to say that that last play was a bailout because it probably was PI, but there were, I mean, not that. There was also a hole in that same play, though. Yeah. There's also a hole that they missed where our guys are just getting a bear hug. Like, also that stat where Patrick Mahomes has, I forget the exact number, but how many 22 interceptions called back? Yeah. It's just an absurd. Tom Brady had 16 in his entire career. Yeah, just an absurd number. I mean, that penalty that Travis, that call back the interception that he had. I mean, Travis Kelsey was just ridiculous. I mean, really ridiculous, but I mean, I guess you get those calls when you have fucking Taylor Swift on your side. I don't think that has any to do with it. Obviously does. So give us a status check, your old daughter's big swift fan. Give us a status check. Oh, okay. Well, Zach, just drop the call. Give us one second, folks. Chrome just like closed out. That's just crazy. Yeah, just, yeah. Classic. Classic Internet problems for the Roberts. Yeah, I pause the recording, but we're back now. There we go. So, yeah, status check on the Bengals. That's what I was looking for for me. I mean, yeah, it's 0 and 2. They do have, I saw something where they do have the second easiest schedule remaining. Yeah. I mean, we play some bad teams. Yeah, my status check, I'm actually feeling a hell of a lot better than week one. Right. Also makes it just that more annoying that we lost to the Patriots at home. It's just as fucking get just the coaches that way we talked about this. Yeah, we did. And there's the graphics that everyone's been pulling up for the Bengals is that like they're one in 10 in the first two weeks of the season. Right. Since it's just unacceptable. I don't understand how they do this every year. You figured that'd be like, "Guys, we need to do something here." Just play with some intensity here, folks. Yeah. It's win a game. I don't know if it just takes a while for Burrow to get comfortable in the offense, but you look better. I mean, I don't know. It's still a lot of dump offs. Yeah, I mean, the play calling is still hot garbage. Yeah. They were attacking the down the field a lot more. This game, they were the Patriots game. I mean, the Pats game, I mean, God. We need T-back to do that to be my office. Yeah. I mean, Jamar Chase. God, are they just double covering him? I mean, maybe. I don't know. I haven't watched the All 22. So I can't answer that, but feeling good, feeling a lot better. And we get the Panthers. I will be attending next week's game. We don't get the Panthers. We get the commanders on Monday. I will be there. Guy, if we do not win that game by like 17, at least, then there will be problems. It's like watching. Is that bad? Aren't they 2 and 0? No, no. They're 1 and 1. OK. They're 1 and 1. But they are top of their division. It's OK. Because the Eagles lost. I guess I would doubt it. Yeah. And the Eagles. Oh. As well. Everybody's 1 and 1 in that division, except the... Jazz. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So. Yeah. OK. And then last question here from Jared. Which actually has to do with fantasy a little bit. Is. Current running back spot or current running back. Can we give some examples or offer some advice for waiver pickups on running backs that are currently not on a roster. They're on waivers right now that we think could step in and get some points. So he says, for example, like what we think about the Chiefs backfield right now and who it could be picked up. I mean, maybe. Maybe what? Maybe we could guess. Maybe we can give some insight. Yeah. I mean, there's really no crate options. Well, Kareem Hunt just signed with the Chiefs today. Yeah. So. We don't. Samaje P. Rhine is there and Carson Steele is there. So. Hey, you really got a 14 carries, so maybe maybe for the Browns. Yeah, I thought we were still the Chiefs though. Yeah. I think P. Rhine's going to be the. He's going to get the. The basket like. Yeah, I think it's going to be. It's going to be a trifecta of work. Yeah. I feel like Zaverworthy is going to run a lot more now too. Maybe. For some sweeps. So yeah, I wouldn't touch anybody to be quite honest, but take a shot. Take a shot. If you want. Yeah. Deonta Foreman. Yeah. Got a pretty big role after getting zero carries against Dallas week one. Was he hurt? Was he? I don't think so. I think so. That can't be right. That he got actually no action. Then next game, 14. Lester on four guard. Not like her. I don't know. I thought I'm aware of. Yeah. Not great. Yeah. Deonta Foreman played one snap in week one. He played 27 snaps this past week. That's very weird. Only five here. Only five here at the drum board. And he had the most. Backfield touches. What about Cordeiro Patterson guy? Oh, Darrell. Yeah, wouldn't pick him up. I think the Chicago backfield is interesting. Yeah. So bad. Sorry, Donald. But so bad. Yeah. So, yeah. Kaleel Herbert, I feel like, could be a look. The thing is, I don't think teams are going to, I mean, they're just going to stack the box because they're not going to be afraid to kill Williams beating them. Throwing the ball. We got Justice Hill still out there. Mm-hmm. For anybody that wants him. He gets catches. We got Ray Davis in Buffalo, who does a pretty good job of platooning James Cook. But, I mean, we're really just grasping at straws to be really honest. Yeah. Hands for Jared's question. No. There's not. There's not a whole lot of great players out there. So, yeah. Not much. I would have said, I mean, like, even the handcuffs that you can get out here, they're not really that many left. Yeah. Because Matt needs to be investigated for collusion here or insider trading. Because this may have picked up Braylon Allen for absolutely no reason. And then he proceeded to score two touchdowns last week. So, otherwise, I would have said, you know, Braylon Allen, because he's looked pretty decent. He looked decent week one, and he looked really explosive week two. Yeah. So, yeah. Thank you. All right. Let's get into the AP segment of the week presented by CTESPN. And, okay. So, this week, we don't have any poems. We don't have any things to decipher. Yeah. It just strictly means this week for me. Yes. We're AB Meming this week, and it's going to be a few. Because, my God, he's been on a tear. He has been on a tear since Thursday. Actually, since Wednesday, since Shannon Sharp left his Instagram live on. Fucking some woman for the world to hear. Did you, the grunting that went on in that video? This is kind of real crazy. Chantosaurus. Chantosaurus. Yeah. It's so perfect because AB's been going after Shannon Sharp for easily six months now, saying he looks like Rex from Toy Story. And then for this to happen, it's just, I mean, this is like an AB wet dream. So good. Literally. So freaking good. So good. Oh, man. It's me. There were multiple. There were multiple about Shannon Sharp that we could have used. Oh, for sure. We got the one sent to us from Dolan actually alerted me to this. I hadn't seen it yet, but you know that meme with basically like these big boards of like, they're not dominoes, but like set up in like a domino style with a small little tiny board going up to like really big, the top boards and some guy knocking the first small one down. And it's Shannon Sharp comes as this small one all the way up to the top to a retires in the NFL. Damn. Oh, God. Wonder what could be in the middle. Wonder what the middle dominoes get. Oh, probably Deshaun Watson somewhere in there. Another Deshaun Watson coming out. Deshaun Watson. Yeah. For sure that. Oh, man. I don't know. Being dangerous. Suiting up. Yeah. Another Will Levis meme. Probably of him just fumbling the ball diving backwards this past week. Yeah. The Harrison butt curve. Yeah. I think that's my favorite favorite meme of the week was A.B. Tweeting. Let me go find this real quick. It's a picture. He does. He tweets a lot of Harrison bucker, but it was just a picture of a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink and he said, "Hare Harrison bucker's surprise for his wife after his game winning field goal." Oh, God. Oh, also Jerome Ford saying that James Winston calls a play in the huddle like he is surprised to tell. That was probably my favorite tweet of the week. It's at least super. And Michael Thomas retweeted it, so you just know it's true. Yeah. I heard another former Zen's player being like, "Dude, this is so true." James would have the biggest smile in his eyes, twinkle in his eyes whenever he was calling a play. It was Christmas morning. Here's another, I got, this was from like two weeks, or it was from last week. Another Harrison butker tweet from A.B. He said, "Hare some butker's wife probably wants to clap after Kamala speaks, but no she will be sent to the kitchen to make cookies." Oh, God. Jesus Christ. Oh, man. Oh, man. I know we got the classic, "Welcome to CTE SPN to a talk about Loa, me." Great. Great graphic, great graphic. Well, you can get him on the pod soon, go ahead. Yeah. Oh, tell me a couple of weeks before he can, he currently can't speak. I think he can speak. I think he can speak. So the memes of A.B. saying to us going to be out there playing like radio, if you know the movie, you know? Yeah. Oh my God. I'm not going to expand any further, but... Sky just goes. Just goes. Zero fucks. Without anything. No. That's why we love them. Yeah. Oh, God. Okay. Yeah. So that's our A.B. segment of the week. Just a bunch of memes. I highly encourage you all. It's too many memes for us to post. So go out. Go out to A.B.'s Twitter account at A.B.84 and just take a scroll. Just take a scroll through his media or his timeline and, yeah, you won't, you can't. Today has been strictly Diddy, if you didn't know Diddy got a... Refuse bail. Yup. And a lot of soap memes for Diddy this week are for today. He's going to be spending his nights in jail. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Let's get in. Let's get in. So while we're here, fantasy week two. And before we review the matchups, let's talk about the waivers that ran last week after we recorded because we were talking about the Isaiah likely sweepstakes. And by golly did we get the Isaiah likely sweepstakes. Three hundred and one biggens. And Mr. Blazer, Dosevic for Isaiah likely, who subsequently provided two catches on three targets for 26 yards. Yeah. Results on three. Yeah. 3.6 fantasy points for Blazer. That's why I didn't want him. That's why I didn't bid on because I was like, he's not going to be a consistent performer. Yeah. And Blazer's been 301 on them down. And yet remains the tight end one. That's how bad tight ends have been this year. Hilarious. Hilarious. Yeah. Absolutely hilarious. And then I don't really think we need to go into anything other. The waivers. I'm no, I bid 115 unlikely and didn't get him and that was the next highest. And then, you know, there were just a couple of sparse bids out there. So people dropping, although I will say, Jared, drop on $100 and tie it a lock it and Dolan drop on $100 on Demarcus Robinson. That's what you're looking for. That's even better now that certain individuals are. Yeah. We can talk about that in the review. And then the other thing we need to talk about for this review is that bomb alert. This trade of the season has happened, boys, if you haven't already seen it, go take a look. This has gotten one of the earlier videos. Yeah. I think, well, I think, I think Dolan and I traded in week two last year, like, like after week one, like for the four week two. So Dolan involved early again, which he needs to cause he's less desperate than the last year. Wow. Yeah. First trade's gone through between Alex and Dolan. Alex finally shedding a running back this time in the form of Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon, Dak Prescott and Jerry Judy going from nausea, Germany to Hertz, donut in exchange for Jalen Hertz and Garrett Wilson. Guy, give me your thoughts on this. I think pretty even obviously Dolan needs a running back now that Pacheco will miss. I think they said six, at least six weeks, which, yeah, six to eight probably, you don't love to see that you're Dolan. So you, I mean, you needed, you needed to do this. And Alex and you did a receiver. So I think it helps, um, it helps both teams. This is pretty, pretty even, um, yeah, I don't know what to think about Garrett Wilson guy. Uh, I'm kind of scared. I'm not going to. Yeah. I'm, I'm scared. I'm kind of scared just because I've watched the Jets play a lot. Yeah. And Aaron Rodgers looks, yeah, like a glorified Sam Darnold basically from last year. We agree. And I think, uh, I mean, he is the only option besides Breeze Hall in the passing game. Yeah. Yeah. So you feel like it'll get better. You, you hope and that's what, I mean, Alex is taking a, not a big risk, but, I mean, he's taking a risk up the run back. He's taking a risk because Joe makes it like, you know, there's been very good. He did get hurt in the game on Sunday night. Came back. His ankle. He came back. Uh, MRIs looked good. They said it's not going to be a long-term thing, but I don't know. We'll see. He could miss this week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Donald is taking a risk getting that, making that trade too, but it's not like Garrett Wilson. That's really helpful. They trade. They play each other this week. Oh, that's, that's spicy. That is spicy. Yeah. I mean, it's basically a, a Dak and Joe for Jalen and Garrett Wilson because I mean, Jared Jude is complete throw in like, pretty relevant, I think. Um, I mean, maybe he could be something I don't think he will be, but maybe, I mean, he's gotten 10 points and 9.8 points. Yeah. He's getting targets. So, I mean, if Dolan needs a little help at receiver, yeah, because he's got, to Marcus Rob is because his receivers are, yeah, I actually don't mind that throw in for him. It just helps sweeten up the pot a little bit to get it done. You think this is a wash or do you think someone won? Uh, you know, I, I think it's a wash. As long as mixing is healthy, I think it's a wash. Um, I think Dak will get better. I think Jalen has just probably had his ceiling, uh, and I think Garrett Wilson could really realistically only get better. So I think it helps both parties. And yeah, I think it's, I think it's pretty good. It's a pretty good trade. It's a pretty good trade. I mean, I think, you know, I give the slight win to Dolan. Slight win. Very, very, very. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, uh, I don't know. I think Dak, I think Dak Prescott honestly is going to be better than Jalen hurts. So, I think he's going to happen like, like last year, not, I'm just not a Jalen hurts fan. Yeah. I don't think he's going to get, I don't think he's going to get the, uh, I know it got one last night. I don't think he's going to get as many push pushes. Yeah. He probably won't. He probably won. Um, as he did last year, and I, I mean, I think Dak, uh, I think Dak's going to be better than Garrett Wilson. I don't know. I don't know. I am, I am concerned with Garrett and I think Joe is going to be potentially a top five running back. But I don't, I do think Donald won this a little bit. All right, well, we'll see. We'll see what happens. We will. All right. All right, boys. Let's get into these matchup reviews. First, I'm just going to start off with the standings, uh, give y'all a league update. So, uh, I am in first tied with Donald at two and O last undefeated teams remaining. Uh, and then we got a lot of guys, a lot of guys tied at one and one. Uh, blaze, uh, I'm going to read it in order for the, the tiebreaker, which is points four. Um, so blaze really isn't the next and third, Zach, Eric, Alex, Matt, Jared, all one and one. That's the order of the points, uh, leaves Jared in eighth place. And then in ninth and 10th tied at O and two are Pappas and Dolan, Dolan sitting at the bottom in the cellar on point scored, which is 15 less than the next lowest, which is Jared who also, that's a, that's a lot of like performances. So that's a big difference for being two weeks in. Yeah. Yeah. It's not great. That's why you made a trade. So we'll see what happens for. See, happens for. All right. Let's get into these matchups and let's just start with the big one, which was Eric and Jared. And when everybody was looking forward to we say this every year, but this is, this is like, this is like prime Patriots, Tom Brady, Patriots versus Patrick, my home chiefs, like just nobody won. No, no, nobody wins because nobody, everybody wants these two teams to lose every week. Patriots chiefs are like, you mean like Brady Manning, like Patriots Colts. I'm just saying like how, like a Brady, if the Brady cheat or the Brady Patriots versus the home chiefs, like those level of hatred of teams. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Just nobody likes those teams. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody wants them. It's basically like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I understand. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. As we all know, Jared won this matchup 98.44 to 98.08. Yes. Three, six point difference courtesy of you like that. You like that. Kurt Cousins, game winning drive with a touchdown to Drake wanted in the end zone, which gave Jared just enough points. It was just a long enough touchdown pass, a catch and a score for Jared to win this game. It was literally poetry, literally chef's kiss. I can't like just a immaculate ending and immaculate ending. And I don't have anything else to say but that I just love the I love the theater of it all. I love it. Yeah. I mean, first let's give the world smallest tiny or tiniest violin to Eric. I mean, yeah. I really get started. He had a huge lead with three touchdowns from James Cook on Thursday. You know what would have really made the difference for him guy? It's like he had a better quarterback. Yeah. You know, then he wouldn't be one in one. He'd be two of them. He'd be two of them. Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, still be good. Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared, I'm gonna outperform all these guys, you know, all these guys. But I couldn't do it to help Eric win a game. No. If only Eric would have listened to us guy. Yeah. Only. If only. If only he would have just started Baker in the same game, but no, no, I think he'll maybe learn his lesson here soon though. Start Baker this week. We'll see. But yeah, besides that, Eric went down with some injuries, AJ Brown, who they announced was out of the Monday night game on Sunday, which was helpful. And then last night, AJ Brown, saying he expects to be out for multiple weeks. Don't be here that. You don't love that. So probably on next week, hopefully back the next week, best case in Eric for two weeks. Yeah. And then he had Cooper Cup go down in the game against the Cardinals on Sunday. And he tried to play through it, couldn't left the game, left the stadium in a walking boot. And Sean McVay says that he is going to miss a significant amount of time, potentially landing himself on the IR. Brutal. Yeah. Brutal. He's going to have a good thing. He's got Christian Watson guy. Christian Watson. Great player. Mm hmm. Great receiver. He's number one on Packers. Yeah. Yes. He's indeed, especially with that 0.0 goose egg from last week. So yeah, Eric, you're going to need to rely on your big hitters for the next couple weeks. Yeah. It's a good thing he does. He does have some pretty good receiver depth. Yeah. Chris Godwin has looked fantastic this year. He's back playing in a good role. He's healthy. Bucks look pretty good. James Cook looks good. He scored way more if that game just didn't-- if the Dolphins were not garbage and couldn't score points. And James and Williams, another pretty solid stat line. Sam Laporta, really, really weird start to his season. Yeah. Red flags. Red flag yet. Alarm bells. Not yet. Not yet. Not yet. No, not yet. But soon. Yeah. It is. I mean, three targets. Yeah, that's a little bit concerned. And then Stefan Diggs doing exactly like we said, he's going to need touchdowns to rely on points. So. Yeah. I honestly think this is what you should expect from him on a weekly basis. Yeah. And then on Jared's side of the ball, we got Patty Mahomes not looking great. And Travis Kelsey. I'm not looking great. That's red. That's an arm bells for sure. Yeah. I mean, we talked about it last week. And it's happened again. So. I saw something on Twitter said, referred to Kelsey as doing side quests instead of playing football, which is pretty true. It's pretty accurate. It is pretty true. I just don't understand why he's not getting involved to be quite honest with you. I think they were really just-- I've been relying-- I mean, maybe he does now, but check us out. I think they were really-- I mean, a checker was a big part of the offense. And then the passing game's basically just been Roshi Rice. Yeah. I saw-- I saw Mahomes' throw chart. And he only had like seven passes beyond the line of scrimmage on Sunday out of 25 or however many he threw. So I mean, they're just not even letting him throw the ball down the field really. And when they did, I mean, Roshi Rice scored. So I don't know. It's very, very weird offense out there. I don't know. I just don't like it. I don't like it. Another player I don't like is Travis Etienne, who again gets bailed out by super inefficiency in a touchdown, just like he did at the start of last year. Yeah. And he seems to always find the end zone. He just stumbles into the end zone. And then he got Jerome Ford, who we talked about the onto foreman earlier. That's 64 yards and that is it. Very, very good. Seven carries. Yeah, that's concerning. I mean, if that's going to be a split back field, I don't think he can really play him. However, Brian Robinson looked really good. He's a tank. He's getting the rushing. Devin Singletary had a touchdown. So he's got depth. And then Devonta Adams had a great game against the Ravens. Drake London finally scored. Calvin Ridley, crazy stat line. And then Bijon, Bijon looked so good last night, he just can't find the end zone. No, that was his issue last year though. Yeah, they just, they can't, they had the ball in the red zone so much last night and couldn't punch it in. It's kind of crazy. Because they were running all, honestly, both teams are running all over each other last night. Eagles and the Falcons, but they couldn't get the ends out of us and the interesting. And then Tyler Algier, I mean, Tyler Algier also looked really good honestly when he was in running as well. I think the Eagles defense just not very good. No, I don't think so either. All right. I'll say, I will say one last thing. Sure. Go ahead. I'm really pressured into changing his name and I'm kind of disappointed because still this name. Who wrote? Jared, you got to fix this. This is the world's name. If anything, just to try to unjinx yourself because seriously, how long did it take you to think of that? Jared, a whole two seconds like a child, a third grader could have come up with that. I see. Yeah. Just do better. Do better. Do better. Disappointed us. All right, guy, you took on Donald this week in a matchup of the undefeateds and Donald prevailed. 98 to 91.8. Tavanta Smith put up 17. Dallas Goddard 5. Couldn't have put you over the edge last night to be Donald. And we talked about it earlier. Josh Jacobs fumbled literally at the one-yard line. And if he didn't do that, he would have saved two points, a minus two points, and you would have gotten six, and you would have won. I would have won. But I wouldn't be too concerned. I mean, your roster is pretty decent, pretty solid. I don't know if you have the absolute ceiling that some other guys provide, but the floors of your players are pretty dang high. I mean, yeah, obviously Josh Allen with that nine. That was such a weird game. They just didn't have to do anything. They didn't have to do anything. They ran the ball out in the second half, especially after two got hurt. I mean, Skylar Thompson's really bad, and I would be concerned for Miami receivers going forward. Yeah. Donald was with Tyree Kill on the opposite side of the ball. Yeah. He only got five, so we both kind of got off the bad starts. No, I told you this Thursday, Shakir looks like he's Josh Allen's favorite target, which I like. I like a lot. I think I like the, I like the upside of Shakir going forward. I just don't know. I don't know. I don't. I understand that. I think he's probably like the most reliable pest catcher besides Stone Kincaid there. Yeah. But I just don't think he has a high ceiling. He definitely does have a high ceiling, but I think he's a solid, very. Very volt. Yeah. Very playable second flex, like someone you can rely on to not like goose you. Yeah. That's fair. Especially in like a higher scored game. I think, I mean, when they were actually passing the ball, he was starting to scare a lot. And then Jane Reed, without, without Jordan Love, some of them, he comes back, same. So that he can have some, actually have some passing opportunities because only Guilless is bad. Yes. Well, I like to rest my team. I think. Yeah. I don't think I have the like highest ceiling team, but I think I have a, I might, I might have the highest floor team. Yeah. That's, that's possible. One of them up there. Mm hmm. And then on Donald side of the ball, Jane Daniels didn't have the best game against the Giants as two running backs found the end zone again, which is really beneficial for him, but Tyreek Hill had a really stinky game. Debo Samuel had a really nice game, didn't find the end zone, but at 110 yards receiving. But he is going to be out multiple weeks as well now, one of the new injuries again this week. So luckily Donald does have some depth to play. As they flowers has looked really good, he got a touchdown. Flowers looks, he looked really good. Yeah. We were talking about how is a target machine, but might not get the yardage. But they actually threw the ball downfield to him a little bit this past week and he scored a touchdown as well. So really nice, really nice week for him. Brock Bowers has looked really good as like one of the best-class passing options for the Raiders. He might be tied in. He might be tied in one this year. He just gets so many targets. He has no potential. I think he has the potential to skill-wise, but I don't think the offense is going to be this good for the whole year, maybe is the thing. But definitely like a solid keeper potentially for Donald for next year. Tank Dell, man. I was excited about Tank Dell to start the year, but he just hasn't done anything. He had one catch for a negative three yards against the Bears. Yeah, he's knocking uses like he was last year. Yeah, Diggs has taken up more of his time and they've been running the ball pretty successfully with mixin. So yeah, I don't know, but Donald, oh, Don, I love you, but I cannot believe you benched Marv, man. I just can't believe it. I don't blame him because look at his receivers, like he has he had some good options. Yes, but I mean, Tank Dell didn't do anything last week. Yeah, I get it. Got to play your second round pick. You probably got to, yeah, you definitely need to. I mean, he's not going to make that mistake again though, so obviously not. And I mean, even Austin Echler, like he's not, he doesn't run the ball much for them. He catches. Yeah, he's like playing. He's playing as a receiver. He's playing in the slot, you know. So solid, solid little option there for him to play in the flex if you don't want to play Tank Dell. But dude, you are not playing Deondra Swift. I can tell you that much because holy smell, holy smell. I think it's a bear's issue, not a Deondra Swift issue. I think it's a Deondra Swift. I mean, I mean, maybe a little bit, God, when he got the ball, there was like three dudes in the backfield. Yeah, that did happen quite a bit, but I think they're literally just stacking the box. They're playing one high safety's because they're not afraid of Kal Williams beating them. I also just don't think Deondra Swift is a great football player. I think he's got great tangible skills, athleticism, but I think he just doesn't have it. Yeah, I mean, they also, they also rotate, they also rotate there. Yeah, Cleo Herbert, Cleo Herbert got a touchdown. I don't think he's, I don't think he's playable. Yeah. I don't think he's playable at all unless you're just so, so desperate. All right, let's move on here. We're spending a lot of time on these. Yeah. We got Matthew Albino polar bears defeating Hertz Donut and Dolan's team 97.6 to 82.6. This was the biggest spread of points this week. Dolan lost Pacheco after getting 13 and a half points, but he's lost. Humental loss. I can't, I can't express to you how big of a loss that is. This is brutal for him, a brutal and we said a guy, we said last week in our draft recap, he better pray. He didn't let it running back in God a week later. Yeah. He did for a long time. It wasn't just like a long week then, but he's got mixing, he's got mixing coming over now. Yeah, he does. But like God, his receivers look bad now. He has got Brandon IU, who just has not done it yet, maybe participate in training camp and he'd be better branded. And Jamar on the other side here for Matt as well. Michael Pittman. He's bad. Yeah. I mean, he just, he just looked bad. AR Michael Pittman's not a deep threat. He's a possession receiver. He's a middle of a field receiver. Yeah. I mean, well, he got seven targets. Yeah. But that's what. He's one of the target leaders. Yeah. That's AR's weakness. Yeah. Middle of the field route. Like those medium routes. Yep. He misses someone like some, I mean, yeah, I do not like Michael Pittman going forward at all. Yeah. Right. A little bit. Yeah. And then I mean, it's just the rest of the bench is nothing either even, I mean, even Demark Robinson after a cup went out only had two catches. It's just, but he shipped off Garrett Wilson. He's got Jerry Judy in. He's got Joe mixing in. See what it. Shipped off Jalen hurts. Shipped off Jalen hurts. See what happens. See what happens. If I, all right, I'm thinking about this trade again actually here, I would have shipped off Jalen hurts to somebody for a quarterback, a lesser quarterback and a receiver, a better receiver. And then I would have sent Garrett Wilson straight up for a running back to somebody. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's a good, let's get call out. That's probably what he should have done, but were people in the market for Jalen hurts? I don't know. Yeah. Or Garrett Wilson. Don't know. Maybe I bet Alex would have done it. He needs receivers. I bet Alex, you think Alex would have done Garrett Wilson for Joe mixing straight up? I think he probably would have. I don't know. I don't know if I would do that, to be honest. No, but it's Alex. He's not a very good fantasy player. This is known. This is known. There's proof. So I don't know. You got to, you got to attack the, you got to attack the weak fantasy players. You also got to attack the weak players in general, like Mark Andrews, just, yeah, just still not great, but I mean, Titan, I mean seven points, Titan, that's pretty good for Titan. Yeah. So yeah, I know. And then on Matt side of the ball, Kyler Burry was literally basically perfect. And you can't ask for anything more than that. Kyron Williams was putrid, putrid, but he found the end zone. Yeah. He kind of. I'm worried about it. With these two receivers out, I don't think that offense is very good. No, it is not. I'm worried. And Matt doesn't have another running back. Another running back. Mm hmm. So he also now has Jalen water on Skyler Thompson. Yeah, he does. Oh, you're right. Mm hmm. Oh, it's scary. Matt, you better hope these receivers really carry a DK Mike Evans, Jabor, and Kyler, honestly. Brian Thomas. Brian Thomas. Yeah, he probably got to be starting him and I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It's not going to do this every week, but no, I don't know. Do you just take a chance and start him over? Giovanni? I don't even know. That might be stupid. That might. That might be stupid. Yeah. That might be stupid. Yeah. It might be stupid. Yeah. It's probably stupid. Yeah. I don't know. Chase Brown looked to be a little bit more involved for the Bengals, so. He only played 18% of snaps. Okay. Never left. Yeah. It was actually less than he played. He looks good at what he got there. Does he not look good? No, he does. Yeah, he does. I don't know what's act tailored. I mean, Giovanni Burnt looked good when he got in for one play and caught a deep ball. It's just the coaching staff and Cincinnati. They're just weird. Actually, really funny. Well, actually, not very funny, but sort of funny. Zach Taylor's car got stolen today by a bunch of kids driven around town. I did not see that. Yeah. Kind of car is it? A cheap, like grand waggoneer, fucking huge ass Jeep SUV. That's a dad car. That's actually pretty funny. Yeah, that's really funny. Yeah. I don't know. Matt got the win. I'm concerned. I am concerned for Matt's team. I don't like it. I honestly think Matt needs to make a trade. I think so, too. Send a receiver out somewhere. Yeah. Hit me up, Matt. The bone zone is calling. I mean, if I had a right back to trade, I'll give you CMC, maybe. That would be crazy. That would be crazy. All right, last matchup. Me taking on PAP 103.36 to 102.6, man, I thought I was done in dust at last night. For as much as Eric probably thought he had to be wrapped up. You should have been. Yeah, I should have been, but. You should have been. You're lucky. I'm so lucky. We've talked about you're the luckiest player. Past two years. Oh, God. You're been lucky. Skill, baby. Skill. No, it's not skill. Just draft a good team. draft a good team. I would have beaten everybody except for blazing Alex this week. Wow. So. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah. I don't know. Your quarterback's just going to be hit or miss every week. I think I. Yeah. I'm fine with that, though. Got me more points than Jared Goff did, so. Yeah. You're a receivers. Oh, God. Wow. Yeah. Nothing got better there. Nothing got better. Again. I don't know. It's going to be better this weekend in a market. I still got faith in him. He's still a guy in targets again. I don't care. It's again. I don't care. That offense is going to be bad. No, I still got. I guess I got faith that I'm always going to turn it around. Xavier Worthy is a flex at best. Yeah. Because he's just he's again going to be hit or miss. He's not going to get the target chair to get you 10 plus a week. He's just going to have to rely on a long touchdown probably DJ more. Okay. I mean, he's he's getting the targets, but God, Kayla Williams is really bad. I mean, you're going to have to pray he gets a little bit better. Yeah. I'm not a lot better because he's bad. We didn't talk about that enough, I don't think about Kayla Williams looks really bad. Yeah. The what what he just way too many ways too many sacks much so much in way too many trucking the ball down the field to get picked off like dude, you're not faster than Will Anderson. Sorry. Aren't this isn't Washington State? You're not playing Washington State anymore. Yeah, it's not great. He's going to have to he's going to have to get a lot better. Yeah. It's a 30 day more to be. I'm going to touch 20 receiver. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have anyone on the bench. No, but Andy Dalton's throw to Deontay now. I don't care. I do. I do. I care. Is he going to get you six points now? Dude, that would be better than three. They would be better than three. Well, hopefully you get Kenneth Walker coming back this week, even though that was that sharp. Charves is fine. Charves play is sharp is huge in the receiving game for them. Yeah. So yeah, I'm fine. It's a good hand cut to have. Yeah. Hopefully be back. But yeah, I'll be looking to get a receiver for you. Yeah. And I got I keep forgetting I got Jonathan Brooks coming back eventually as well. Again. Excited. He plays on the most garbage team I might have. He might. This might be the worst NFL teams since that Detroit Lions team. Like I'm worse. Are they worse than last year's Panthers team? Oh, yeah. They're worse. They might not want to gain. Like, do you think they're going to want to gain? We'll see what Andy does. Yeah. We'll see. Shoot. I got to plug my laptop in. Give me one second. You keep talking. Yeah. I mean, how bad does just Carolina or how bad does Bryce Young be to be given up on Bryce Young who you trade up to get first round pick a year later and you're benching in after two weeks? Um, yeah, I don't know if he's he's done in Carolina. I don't think he's done. I don't think he's done. It's just to send a message. I don't know. I saw it. Like get him out of the spotlight and just like practice and watch behind 80 Dalton for a little bit, which they should have done last year to be honest. Do you believe it's just the ruin with that shit asked? It's just the shit organization. It is. Yeah. That owner, which is a David Tepper. David Tepper. That guy is insane. I think he's the one who called for Bryce Young to be benched as they asked canals about it today. Yeah. And he wouldn't. He wouldn't say. He makes all the calls. He's like the GM that I mean, not the GM. He's just so stupid. He knows nothing about football and he thinks he does. Yeah. It's like Mike Brown. It's quite hilarious to be honest. He's worse Mike Brown. Yeah. I think, I think Carolina wanted to take CJ Strell last year. And what's this? David Tepper wanted Bryce Young. Yeah. Completely stupid. Why would you want a 510, 180 pound quarterback? Now he's good, but yeah, I don't know. His game has not translated well to the NFL, not all. And then so Papis's team, we got to give some some shots of Papis here, should have won this game. Nico Collins is a stud. He's very good. James Connor, solid CD lamb. He looks really good. Christian Kirk is probably a drop if I'm being a sweetie. I wouldn't drop him yet, but you can't play him. I mean, I don't know who you put up there, but JSN had huge bounce back, huge bounce back week, which is exciting to see. And then yeah, I just don't know if he doesn't really have anything on the bench. You got a problem. You got a problem at the second flex spot, but I mean, you got receivers for sure. You got receivers. Maybe he makes it true. Yeah. Maybe. I mean, that's Aaron Jones. I don't think he's going to be very good. No, no, he's he's going to be a touchdown. He's going to have to score touchdown basically to have a good week. So he's got some holes. Should have got the win. I mean, God, that's very unlucky. Yeah. You figure you can get four points out of the cockpit. It really just can't, which is tough, tough, but I mean, you know, the cockpit is very good. So it's indeed, just indeed. All right. Those are the matchups. Let's quickly give out a winner of the week. It's got to be Jared. Yeah. All for sure. Jared winner of the week and loser of the week, subsequently Eric, Eric, they're starting Jared golf. Eric, again, loses AJ Brown and Cooper cup and got the hell in Harvard in fashion. I can't expect the difference between one and one and one and two is huge. That's quite dramatic. You need to get, I mean, just, just the mental aspect of getting a well, getting a win on the board early in the season, just so you know, you can do it is huge. Yeah. Huge. So yeah. All right. AB award winner of the week, Shana Sharp, probably Shannon. Yep. Okay. Good stuff. Good stuff. Love it. All right. Let's run through these week three matchups coming up here real quick. Give our thoughts. We got Eric taking on myself and what's probably going to be a pretty close matchup, who you got in this game. See what the spread is here. I don't think everyone has all their players in yet, obviously. Um, I don't know, man. I don't know what to think about Eric's team without a cup and brown. I mean, those are his two best players. Yep, um, I think if Kent Walker plays for you this week, I think I'll take you. Okay. And if not, and if not, I'll probably still take you because Charvin is decent and I think he's better to be on more already. All right. We got Jared taking on Donald this week. It is favored by six and a half. That's interesting. Got full lineups in. I mean, yeah, um, he's got some crazy projections that aren't going to happen. 12.1 out of drum forward. Sorry, but I haven't 10.2 out of Travis Kelsey, 20 out of Patrick, my own fine, not happening honestly. Uh, yeah, I'm, I think I'm still going to take Jared though. Um, I don't think Donald, Donald's currently has Deontre Swift on. You can't do that. Please don't do that for the love of God. I think they're playing. Yes. I know. Well, it's just got run over by the Packers. Okay. You were just talking about how bad Deontre Swift is and he's a potential drop candidate. I know. I did not say that. I did not say that. Oh, I said Christian. Oh, you say Christian. You play an Echler. Swift. I think I'm taking Echler just for the receipt. Yeah. I'm playing Echler for sure. Even Britain. No, maybe not against Baltimore. Uh huh. Yeah. I think I'd play Echler. I don't know. I mean, I play brain and cooks against Baltimore. Yeah. Maybe. I think there's better options. I know. I know he's projected 12.5 points. I don't think he's doing that. Um, yeah, I think I am taking Jared. Yeah. Jared as well. All right. We got Blaze taking on Zach. Line is Zach by two and a half. And we got some questionable players on each side here. Yeah. We didn't talk about Evan Ingram for me getting scratched. Yes. Very strangely. With the handings. God. Yeah. The hits keep coming. Um, yeah, I don't know if he's going to play this week. If he doesn't, then I'll probably, I don't know. I don't know if I got her or pick them another tie then. T should be back. I mean, if he's not back, come on. It's like maybe he wanted him to be back for against the commanders. Yeah. Why he needs to be back. I think he's going to be back. If he's not, then maybe I'll throw. Draw. Draw. Maybe. Yeah. Um, I have some good matchups this week. Not going to lie. It's in her way against Carolina. This could be the week for Zameer. So I got him up there. I think, I think if you're playing Carolina and you have a skill position player against them, it's almost an automatic play. Yeah. No matter who, even if it's Christian Kirk, you play him. Yes. Correct. Um. Yeah. Blaze is benched by Rashad White, which I grew with. He's been pretty bad at this show. He got her groin. We didn't talk about that either. He got a groin injury in the game. He came back, but yeah, he had like, yeah, I just groin injuries are nagging. So we'll see what happens there. But he was awful. He was awful on Sunday. He was 10 rushes for 18 yards. He's not good. Only had one target, one catch for five yards. Which is what he relies on. He's only good if he gets like five or six dump off from Baker. Yeah. Which is, he gets that every game. Usually. Yeah. One. Yeah. I think J.K. Dobbins has a bad week against Pittsburgh's D. I mean, Pittsburgh's got me a really good defense. Yeah. That would be interesting to see. Um, yeah. Blaze doesn't have the best of matchups this week. I mean, I haven't. Chris and Lobby against Philly could be good. Sake one is always a threat. La Morgan's Dallas could be could be danger zone for me. I don't think Dallas got a good D. Yeah, I'll go, Blaze. I'll go, Blaze. Here. Uh, I'm going to take you actually. Full bounce, I'm not going to say. Yeah. Got you. I'm not going to say anything else. I need, I need, I need to, I don't think that T Higgins or Evan Negro are playing this week though. So. Yeah. I'm more confident that T will play Monday like got an extra day. Come on. Like, dude. How you missing four weeks for Hammy? Come on. Grow up. All right, and we got pep is taken on Matt this week. Line is pep or no, line is Matt by two. Thoughts? Huh. I'm taking back. Oh, no. Yeah, these are pretty evenly match teams, I think. I'm going to predict a, I'm going to predict a don't. Oh, look at that. Matt's got Brian Thomas starting over Jalen Waldo. I mean, I would. He's also got rock pretty starting over. Tyler Murray. Yeah, I don't know about that. Yeah. I don't know about that play, Matt. Yeah. I like, I like the waddle bench. I like that smart. Yeah. We just talked about that. Yeah. Giovanni Williams is nowhere in hell. No. Eleven. No. Got. No, he's not getting a lot of. And Kyron's not getting. And Kyron's 17. These are something Christian Kirk at age, pretty high. I think I'm going to take Pappas. Yeah. I'm going to take Papp in this game as well. All right. And we got last game of the week, Dolan taking on Alex, Dolan trying to get out of the cellar. So is Pappas in that other matchup. So that could be huge for him. We didn't talk about how we should cancel Alex for this team name, Gross. What the hell? Last week? No. We didn't talk about it. I remember bringing it. I named everyone's team name. I remember bringing it up. Yeah. I don't think we Alex. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Disgusting. It needs to be ended. Yeah. But Alex is. I'm not thinking Alex. Alex is favored by 14 in this matchup. Yeah. Dude. I mean, it's funny because they traded. They traded with each other. Yeah. It's going to change. He's going to swap mixing up there for Gus Edwards. But yeah, I don't know who they're going to swap quarterbacks. I don't know who Dolan's going to fly me. I guess these two. Jerry Judy. He's going to play Jerry Judy. God. As the Giants. Yeah. I would do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I don't know. It's a scary. It's a scary looking lineup. Okay. It really is. Yeah, it is. And not not the good kind of scary. Yeah. I'm going to take out. But this current line I would take Dolan to cover. I would not. I would not. One thing that we didn't talk about, let's talk about it real quick, Derek Henry concerned level. I'm going to give it a six out of 10. I agree. I think it's pretty concerning. Really, really shit day and somehow ended up with 84 yards. Don't know how. Because he had negative rushing yards for almost a whole half. He got like a lot of late touches. The Baltimore O line is pretty bad. It is not good. It is pretty bad. He's going to have to rely on Golan touchdowns. Yeah. Honestly, if I was Alex, I would have tried to give Dolan Derek Henry. I don't know if he did. I would try to give Dolan Derek Henry. Yeah. Well, it's too good mixing. It's too late. Interesting thought. It is interesting. It is indeed. All right. Well, that is the show for this week. You want to know what we're sitting at? Just over an hour, I'm going to guess. Hour and 22 minutes. Oh, God. I was way off. Yeah. Yeah. We talked. Honestly, it went fast though. I don't know. I thought so too. Yeah. We average like an hour and 20. We're always right around here. Always, always, always. All right. Makes the work take a faster guy for these people listening. Exactly. Yeah. You're welcome. It's for some more content. No. Can't complain. All right. You got anything else before we get out of here? Nope. Think I'm good. All right. See y'all losers soon. Bye bye. Bye! (upbeat music)
