Le'Veon Bell Likes to Hot Box Fantasy Football Podcast
Welcome Back
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. It's fair. It's gone to Super Bowl. Here we go. Boys, welcome back. It is season three of the Lev Vell likes the Hotbox podcast. Year, I don't even know, nine, eight, seven of the league itself. And we are back, baby. We are back in full force. And I'm back with Zach. Glad to be back. Big booty butler himself. That's right. Long off season. Just ready. Just ready to get back into this pod. I was really looking forward to it. Like all week is like looking forward, just getting back on the pod. All week this week or all week last week. All week. Every week since we did it basically. Oh yeah. I was on hiatus. I was not thinking about the podcast all summer, if I'm being really honest. Just another good excuse to have 45. We're trying to do 45 this year. We're trying to cut down on the pod length. Yeah. CTE SPN requires us 45 minute podcasts only this year. The big boss is saying we don't have the overhead to pay for over an hour of podcasting each week. Yeah, but more airtime guy equals more add time for revenue. That's true. Our viewership is up. Just kidding. It's not. But we'll see if it is after this podcast for season three. Actually, if you want to go over the analytics real quick, I know none of you guys have a real background this because only I do. But I'll have you know, all time the Lev Bell likes the hotbox podcast has been downloaded 766 times. That's a way. I gotta say that's pretty amazing. Yeah, that's pretty amazing. Yeah, so yeah, our most listened to episode is the very first episode. When it was just me, they are well two years ago, September 20, 2022 52 downloads. Second most listened to episode Donald's destruction. That was a great episode. That is a good episode. So yeah, if you know anyone looking for selling some ads, you have our number. I really would love this to become our full time job. Can you imagine? I was just giving shit fantasy football advice. Once they'd shit, it's more. No, it's amazing. It's pretty amazing. Yeah. We know that everybody here loves it. So everybody else in the world can also love it. Yeah, true. They just have to find out about us. But yeah, it's season three. And we're here. I can't believe we're here. Glad to be back more. It's going to. Hopefully we're looking for a more energetic, less depressed Zack as a co-host this year. Yeah, I think like at least probably our last like six episodes were about how depressed. We both were, or at least you. All right. But the new season brings hope. Anything is possible. And spoiler alert, although it's not a spoiler, you're already want to know. So two wins away from my win total last year. So we're off to a flying start. Incredible. Incredible. Okay. So yeah, just a few little admin things to run over real quick before you get on. We are sponsored by CTESPN this year. We are going to be live on the CTESPN networks. Every Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on schedules. Yeah. The boss himself. Working on getting A/B on the pod. The boss himself is a little busy. He wants to see what kind of numbers we've put up first before he comes on. But if we do good, he might come on himself. We are going to be having our weekly A/B tweet of the week breakdown segments. We're still looking at some perspective new segments this year as well. Mailbag is back. Ramblings obviously back. And then obviously the reviews from the past week of games preview for next week and the waiver segment. And is there anything else on forgetting? Our awards. That kind of goes in with the review of the week. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the schedule we're going to stick to. Maybe, you know, again, maybe one or two other segments in there. Depending on how things check out. But that's what we're going to start with. So Guy, any ramblings so far for you this year? Hmm. That's a good question. No, no ramblings, but I will start off with saying the draft destination draft was amazing. Like shout out to Alex was a really good host in allowing and Doug for allowing to use his house for the draft. It's just a great weekend. Great to see everybody. I know we didn't get to see the entire league, but we got half of us there. Yep, that was a great time. That was a great time. I'll second that too. Yeah, that's a good place to start. Definitely a success. Definitely something I think we should try to do every year if we can. Whether it's in OC or some are closer for people to get to or where I don't because it was amazing. And it was great drafting so late and then being able to watch the games together the first week because we were all playing each other. All of us that were there too. So it was fun just to the highs and the lows was a very, very, very good time. So even if we don't like draft, if the draft date doesn't end up working like on the kickoff of the season or the day before, whatever, we could draft like, you know, earlier, but then go somewhere for the first week of the season games. Just watch them because boy, that was a good time. And I need a full body cleanse after the last couple of days. Oh, I'm already on the diet, man. Yeah. A lot of lot of beverages consumed. A lot of many, many a beverage consumed greasy meals eaten. Seafood for those of us who like seafood, which is not me. But Jared, Matt, Alex, all lovers of seafood, Eric, as well. It was worth it though. It was worth it. It was a great time. It was a great time. Yeah, so shouts Alex, shouts Doug for hooking us up and shouts everybody that came and everybody that couldn't come. I know y'all wanted to be there. Shouts the Donald actually, who just got married literally last week and was probably a big reason why I couldn't be there. Shouts the pap who got married in June. We were able to attend that wedding. That was a great time. Yeah, and yeah, that puts eight out of the ten of us in marriages now. So just me and Jared. Oh, shouts Jared, I guess. New girlfriend. She's not a mom. Not a mom. Under the age of 40. That's good. That's big news. Something really tragic and heartbreaking and yet exciting for Jared at the same time. As Alex pointed out in our group text, he's moved on. He's moved on to older sisters. Yes, exactly. I guess somewhere, mom, the older sister pathway. That's a classic one. All good things must come to an end. Yes, yes indeed. So we can monitor that situation throughout the year as it goes. Yes. And yeah, I don't know. I'm just excited. I'm just, I'm freaking excited. You know how many drafts I did, mock drafts I did. Hope we prepped for a while. We prepped for a long, long time. So I was hyped. I mean, it's almost a week now. It's Tuesday night we're recording this. We drafted last Wednesday. Do you think our mock drafts were fairly accurate? We totally off. I haven't really gone back to compare. I have not compared either. Let me. I feel like we were right about running back heavy. People, I mean, people were way willing to overdrafts running backs on ADP, which I kind of expected, but we were right about that. Yeah, I also don't know how to go back and look at that. Obviously, rap. So I think we were, we were pretty spot on with some of the guys we thought would fall too. Especially like Step on Dig. Step on Dig's fell in our draft. He did. He was really kind of fading in. I don't think we ever faded him as far as he fell. Yeah. Someone like him we thought would fall. Someone like Zay Flowers we thought would fall. Yeah. I think that's all I can think of top my head. Yeah, me too. I mean, I wish, if I can figure out how to go back and look at the mock drafts. I had let you know, but just looking at it right now, I don't know how to look at the mocks. But I think we did a pretty good job. I mean, yeah, just it's hard to know the league all the time, but we've been doing this for a while. So we kind of know how we each other draft. And I think it helped a little bit. I only tell, I think I only tilted like twice during the draft. And that was in the third round. When I went with a strategy that I literally changed the morning of and went Triple RB, which I had not done at all in any of my mocks in the two months that I was prepping. And I pretty much stayed, stayed on what I think you, yeah, what I was mocking. You might have changed one or two players in the middle to end rounds, but yeah, there, there was a couple of players that I was looking at that I thought would fall to me, but they didn't. Yeah, so it's pretty good. It's pretty good. There were, I mean, there were only a couple of snipes for me as well. Yeah. So yeah, who's your most annoying snipe guy? Oh, man, I really wanted Rushy Rice or Jaden Reed. I wanted one of those two to come to me in the seventh round. And you took him at the sixth, seventh turn, both of them. So I was, I was pretty upset with that. But I got Zaver worthy instead and he had a solid debut. So can't be too upset. Yeah, I mean, I think, yeah, worthy is going to be good. He's going to be a boomer bust. I think he's going to be touchdown dependent receiver, which I mean, the cheese score a lot touchdown. So that could, he can end up scoring maybe 10, 10 touchdowns this year. Yeah, maybe. Let's go. I'm going to go back and see. I mean, Marvin Harrison got Donald Snipe, Marvin Harrison right in front of me, which I was hoping he would fall, but I was never expecting him to get to me. That was probably, I mean, I got to say, the first like three or four rounds is probably the highlight of the draft for me every year is just seeing, because it's all the players, all the names that everybody knows, seeing who's going to take what positions they're going to take. They're going to take any of those ones he positions. It's just fun. And then just seeing people like seeing like, Oh, please, please, please, please, please, like you with Marvin Harrison. We begged Pappus to take him. I thought about taking him, but, you know, I never had a mock where he fell to me in the second round. So I, you know, I was kind of set on what I was going to do. And then Papp didn't take him. And then Don Don, I think I don't remember what you were doing, Don, but you were outside. And we were just begging you to take Marvin in exactly like two to fucking Marvin. If I get Marvin, I'm going to come, I'm going to come everywhere. If you guys let me get Marvin. And you were saying that for quite a few picks after Jared didn't take him. And then I think you knew that I probably wasn't going to take him. Yeah, and yeah, I was expecting to go RB. But yeah, I was, I don't know. I was, I wanted, I thought Donald was going to go Jacob. So I was kind of concerned because that's who I really wanted. Because I just wanted another running back, but I got more. That'd been crazy. I think the most person, or the person I wanted the most in the late round picks that this doesn't really a snipe because he got taken like weight, like eight picks in front of him. But I really wanted Jamo, like I really wanted him in the 10th, but they were talking at 10 too. Yeah, I like a lot of mocks he got to me in the 10th. I was kind of expecting. But Eric liked him and he took him and I was annoyed. But yep, yep, yep, yep. Oh, the other thing I got to say too is one, everybody saw your outfit, but the outfit was amazing. And two, the draft board also I loved having. Yeah, you got to do that every year. Yeah, it's just great to have. Yeah, we were looking at it all exactly. It was great to look at. Yeah, we were just going back to it and seeing like how the draft went. And so today I took it home with me. And today I was unpacking. And I was like, I showed Madison, you know, what it was. You're like, oh my God, it's massive. She's like, you know, what are you going to do? You're going to put in your office somewhere. I was like, I know a space big enough for that. And I went, went, took it, took it into the bedroom, took it, put it up right behind our bed in our bedroom. And it just fills up that whole wall. It's massive. And it's amazing. It's still hanging there. It's still hanging there. Yeah, it's still there. We'll see how long it lasts. If it stays up tonight, it might stay up all year. It's dead. But the problem with that, I think, is that it's going to haunt me in my dreams. Because I'm going to see the draft results. I'm going to see every player that it could have taken that I didn't who could have been amazing. So, so yeah, double double edged sword. But now it was, it was awesome. Going to keep it. It's got the date on it. Yeah, a lot of fun. A lot of fun for sure. So, all right, guys, we are already 16 minutes into this. So, give me, give me your draft grade for everybody for this year. It's just like we, yeah, let's transition here into a little draft recap or just a quick draft section. Yeah, yeah. You know, just grade, grade yourself first. You were the first overall pick. The team you ended up with. It's only a week one's over. So you do have some insight into how these players have played. Right. So, so give me a really early season draft grade after week. I'm going to give myself. I'm either between a B plus or an A minus. I'm going to lean B plus because I think my starters are very solid and probably a lead contender. But I don't like my depth that much. Like my depth, not great. So there I'm going to leave it with a B plus. Yeah, I think I would give you an A minus actually just after this first week of games only because of what Jordan Mason did last night. Which we'll get into in the reviews, but completely agree on the depth piece. Your starters are really good. And they, I mean, you're the highest score of the week too. Another spoiler. But after, after your starting lineup, it's, it's pretty, it's pretty bleak. So, so yeah. All right. Give me, give me a Donald from the two spot. And we're giving his team. Hmm. Looking at this for where Donald started. Should I read out the names? Just so everyone has an idea. I can real quick. All right. Okay. Ty Hill, Marvin Harrison, Deebo Samuel, DeAndre Swift, Ramondra Stevenson, David Montgomery, Zae Flowers, Brock Bowers, Nick Chubb, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, Echler, Tank Dell, Keeper. And then Brandon Cooks with his last pick. Yeah. Really, really good receivers, possibly the best receiver group in the league. Got surprisingly good results from his running backs. Yep. And week one. Two of them. Two of them. Now, if one of those guys gets hurt, he's got not much after that. I'm going to give Dot from where he went through. I'm going to give him a B. I saw a B. It's a good team. I actually really like team. Yep. I'm going to give him. Yeah. Keep him. I mean, the running backs aren't great. Well, I think Donald, he went triple or triple receiver to start. So his running backs were never going to be amazing. But I think he did a good job of following up with three guys who, I mean, have the potential to be 10 plus points a week. So, yeah, it's all a B. Yep. I'm going to give Donald a B plus actually. Again, really good receivers, Marvin Harrison didn't have a great week, but really solid receivers, especially having tank delis is keeper. That B plus, I think that plus is just that keeper pick from last year, having a good draft last year affecting his team this year. And then his running backs do scare me. I don't know how long that's going to be viable for him, even after a good week one. It's pretty scary. But Brock Bowers look good. tight ends were really down this week. So Brock Bowers was actually pretty decent. And then Jane Daniels, really great pick, really like that in the 10th. And he was really, really bad in real life. Not really, really bad, but pretty bad in real life for his first game. But amazing for fantasy. So, yeah, give you a B plus done. All right. Pappas from the three CD lamb, Pooka Nakua, Nico Collins, Aaron Jones, James Connor, CJ Stroud, JSN as his keeper. Christian Kirk, Kyle Pitts, Tajey Spears, Josh Palmer, Chuba Hubbard, Ezekiel Elliott, Justin Herbert. I think I'm going to go another B. I mean, Pooka, obviously, Pooka's now the IR, which that hurts. That's your second round pick on IR after game one. But I mean, he's got good. I mean, really good receivers. I mean, not better than Donaldson core, but surprisingly, really good week out of his two running backs there. But again, I think the depth, the depth on his team is pretty poor. Quarterback, CJ Stroud, he's good. It's one of those things. He's good real life, really good real life quarterback. I don't know how he'll do in fantasy. I think he's top, like best case scenario is top 10. I think getting him in the six rounds, maybe a tad early for someone who has no rushing upside. So I'll land this. Maybe I'll give it a B minus because I don't like it better than Donald. I'll go B minus. Yeah, I think I'm going to go a B minus as well. I think I would give it the same as Donald B plus if Pooka Nakua wasn't on the IR currently. So that really hinders, I think, his squad. I actually don't like his receiving depth with Pooka being hurt. Just looking at what JSN Kirk and Palmer did last week was not promising at all. Yeah, that's pretty scary. Same thing for him as well. His running backs really scare me. Cowpits actually had a really good week. So I think that might be a sleeper good pick in the ninth round for him. So yeah, I'm going to give it a B minus, but we'll see what he can do. I'll tell you what, Zeke actually looked not that bad. Really? Yeah, I mean, I didn't get used for touchdown. I mean, I'm not saying he looked like the old Zeke, but he looked like someone he could play in a flex spot for sure. Maybe it's the Browns too. Maybe it's the season where it's on and that, I mean, get banged up. He is older. So we'll see how that plays out. Alright, next up from the four spot was myself. Breece Hall, Devane Chan, Kenneth Walker, DJ Bora, Mari Cooper, George Kittle, Xavier Worthy, Deontae Johnson, Jonathan Brooks, Blake Korm, Anthony Richardson, Jordan Love, Zach Charbonne, Michael Wilson. Obviously, you know this guy. The receivers aren't good. The receivers aren't good. The running backs are very good. AR sucks in real life. Well, he's not sucked, but man, he's just so, he's such a hot and cold quarterback in real life, but man, he is very good in fantasy. I'm just very concerned that he's due for an injury the way he plays. I was just on Twitter. This man got body slammed and they didn't call it. I think he's going to be one of those quarterbacks where the refs don't call. Just because he's so big. He's so big. He's so physical. It's like you've got to do that to get him down. I mean, it's exactly like Cam Newton. Cam Newton never got those type of penalties. Yeah. I like your first four picks. I like Devane Chan. I think he's going to be really, I mean, I think he's going to be really, really good for you. Top five. I think he's due over top five season. Bryce Hall too. I think he might have two top five. Orbeez and Kenneth Walker is really good too. Your receivers just scare me. Kale Williams looked really bad. I know it's his first start ever. I don't know if DJ Moore is going to be enough for it to be your top receiver there, but maybe, I mean, Deontay Johnson too. Yeah. You have some, you have some bad quarterback receivers. Marry too. I mean, Deshawn Watson, possibly the worst quarterback in the league behind the end. Um, George Kittle's a nice pick. Jonathan Brooks, you might have something there. Just on a bad offense. Then Blake Horm got zero carries. So, I mean, I don't think that's going to be like that going forward. I guess this season goes on, but that's also a bit concerning. So, I need a final final grade. Yep. I want to go B. Yep. That's where I was going to land to. Solid B. Solid B. Yeah. Some bad picks. Some potential picks. Yeah. My running backs really high tier, but are dragged down by my receivers who right now are looking pretty mid tier. Uh, and yeah, we'll just, we'll see what happens there. We'll see what happens. And we'll see if A.R. gets hurt. I'm not concerned at all about his accuracy. I'm only concerned about him getting hurt. So, we'll see what happens, I guess. All right. Jared Krupkomish in the five spot. They went Bijon, E.T.N., Davante, Travis Kelsey, Pat Mahomes, Drake London, George Pickens, Calvin Ridley, Brian Robinson Jr., Jerome Ford, Devin Singletary, Romeo Dobbs, Jalen Polk, and Xavier Lekett. Yeah. And we got the league low score for the week. We did. I might add it. Yeah. You know, two, two young running backs that are looking to make a, was this third year, third year or no, Bijon second year, E.T.N.'s third. E.T.N. is just one of those guys, man. He's just not very efficient, I don't think. He's so touchdown dependent, and that kind of worries me. Bijon was very much involved. He had a low week, but I don't think, I think he's going to have a big year. I mean, they were using him in the past game a lot. I mean, Tyler out here, I think, going up three carries. So, if you're concerned about him stealing touches, I don't think that's the plan. Um, receiver group is very, very bad. Not very bad, but not good. Pretty bad. Pretty bad. Um, Drake London. I mean, that's red flags there. Kirk, Kirk husbands look really bad. Yeah. That's red flags. Cow and Ridley, red flag. Will Levis sucks? George Pickens. I mean, God, he might be your best receiver, Jared. Really good running back depth, though. I must admit, really good running back depth. Yep. I like, I like Robinson. I like Ford. He got some maybe pop receivers down at the end. Ha, da, da, da, da. B minus. For Jared. Yeah. I'm going to give him a C plus. I like the Bijon pick. I'm not an ETN fan. I know he gets touchdowns, but his efficiency and his work is just really kind of dreadful. Was last year as well. And, uh, we'll talk about that during the review from last week. More on that. Um, Tommante Adams was pretty much off my board. Uh, even though he fell to me at 3-4, I was just not going to take him. Uh, Travis Kelsey, I think, is on, we talked, I talked about this with Jared this weekend, but I think he's just on the downward slope. I just, he's not going to get the receptions that he used to get or the yardage. He'll get touched down still, but, uh, Rushy Rice plays over the middle of the field. In the same exact spots where Kelsey used to love to go and just kind of run his own routes. Um, and Rushy Rice is there now. Big body receiver gets tons of targets. And ever since about the middle of last year, which is when Travis went on a downward trajectory, and Rushy Rice went upward and started playing more, that's kind of what happened. We saw Kelsey fall in fantasy points, uh, and Rice increase. And I really think it's because they're kind of occupying the same space. And on top of Travis just slowing down, probably a year or two. I just don't think it's, the consistent points are going to be there. He'll still get touched downs, but I just don't like the pick. Uh, I want to see the snap count for Kelsey. If he, er, his snaps decreasing. He played 89, no, he played 89% of the snaps. Okay, well, so, you know, he's on the field. I said this, I said this because I hadn't last year. I said this to you a million times guy. He literally doesn't look like he's trying. Yeah. In the regular season. He did the playoffs. He looked great playoffs. Yeah. But I literally think he's just taking easy during the, during the pre, or the regular season. Just to stay healthy. And then, and then goes all out in the playoffs, which, I mean, fair enough for a 34 year old tight end. Yeah, it's taking a ton of hits, but he's going to have to be a guy that is scoring. Consistent red zone touchdowns to be, I think, a value for where Jared took him. Yeah. Yep. Fully agree. And then, I think his receiving, er, he talked about the Monte Adams, but the rest of it really hit or miss. Um, and Kirk looked not good, which is worrying for Drake London. Yeah. He's got, you know, I think he's got options to upgrade that room. So I'm not too concerned about it, but yeah, I'm going to give it a C grade for the draft after this. I think, I think Jared may have gotten sniped up a lot of players he wanted. It's quite possible. Um, we know that he got sniped with Kimura. He threw his arms up in the air a lot during the draft. Yeah. So, yeah. All right. Alex's team from the 106, Alman Ross St. Brown, Derek Henry, Joe Mixon, Alvin Camara, Trey McBride, Terry McLaurin, Keenan Allen, Nazu Harris, Zach Moss, Curtis Samuel, Dak Prescott, Jordan Addison, Jerry Judy, Jacoby Myers. Hmm. Yeah. Alex knows how I feel about his draft strategy because, damn, he took too many right backs. He just did. He just did. I know it's important to have running back to death, but at a point, you got to take the best guy available. The Zach Moss pick, in my opinion, not that Zach Moss is a bad player, and it's not going to be a good player this year. Why are you taking hit? Why are you taking five running backs in the first nine rounds? Yeah. That's just, that's just not, that's just not correct. In my opinion, that should not be ever be the case. He's so, he would, Alex psyched himself out of not having any running backs last year that he overcompensated so bad this year. He always talked about wanting Jerome Ford. And he had him in the tent. And he couldn't take him because he would have been six running back. The receivers are so bad. Yeah. I think it's almond raw and some guys. It started with the nausea pick in the eighth round. After he made that pick, I looked at him. And I said, you hate nausea. He goes, yeah. You put running backs. Yeah. It's like, oh, it was Zach Moss. Yeah. I saw that pick. I'm like, what are you doing? I literally screamed. What are you doing? He's like, that's the value. You're just too good. I'm like, no, it isn't. The value isn't too good. He must have still been on the gummy from the night before. I mean, yeah, I don't know if he had too many bevies or he took a gummy. Yeah. The receivers just aren't good enough. And he's saying his explanation to this was he can just trade him. And God, he's going to need to trade him, guy. I mean, he just is. He's just going to need to trade up. He is because his receivers are scary because he's going to need a receiver. I mean, scary receivers. Scary. This might be scary than his receivers like two years ago when it was. Yeah. Yeah. As I'm in raw, I'm in raw had a bad week one. He's going to be good. Yeah. Don't even not even worry about him. Hero receiver this year. Yes. So, yeah. Well, you got Dak. I like the Dak pick late 11th round. That's a really good value for Dak. I like that. I've told him this a million times. I've told a guy this a million times. Possibly the worst keeper. I've ever even seen on Twitter. In every league I've ever seen. This is the worst keeper I've ever seen. I've told Alex this a million times. Who keeps Jacoby Myers in the 14th when he's his 80 P was like, I think later than that. This man was definitely going undrafted. Or he was going in the 14th. Why are you keeping him? You can't keep him next year. Why not take a risk on a guy? Yep. I don't disagree with you. I have the same feelings. Same exact feelings. Horrible. Horrible. From a horrible fancy player. Yeah, I'm going to give him a C as well. All right. All right. Blaze from the 107 went Jefferson, Barkley, Olave, Neighbors, Lamar Jackson, Rashad White. Tony Pollard, Lad McConkie, Keon Coleman, Jake Ferguson, Caleb Williams, Jaylen Wright, J.K. Dobbins, Dallas Goddard. Start me off with a grade first and then go into why. Let me look at him through here. You know, I like a lot of his players. Like he kind of stole a couple that I really was looking at. I'm going to give it a B plus. His first two picks are amazing. Like Jefferson and Barkley could definitely carry him. And just next to receiver picks are boom bus guys. They're going to be guys that have really big weeks and they're going to be. They're going to have weeks that are guys that are bad. Like really, really subsequent. Yes. I mean, really talented. Olave and Neighbors. I mean, shit, those are some of the most talented receivers in the league, but they're just, they're quarterbacks. They're just dicey. Obviously had Rashad White as a keeper. I don't like Rashad White, but in the six round, that's really good. He's going to be someone, I think. That's inconsistent as well. I shit on the Tony Pollard pick at the time. I still don't like it because I don't like Tony Pollard. He did have a decent week. So we'll see how that goes. Then he took two chances on two rookie receivers, maybe. Obviously a little more. I don't know if I mention 10. Great. So what I give B plus, I mean, Dobbins in the 13 shit, he looked really good. That could be the seal that are out there. Yeah. Very, very true. Yeah. Yeah, plus. Yeah, I'm going to give Lays a B plus as well. Knowingly or unknowingly, I think. Sake one could after week one shoot for that RB one spot this year. He looked really good. Yeah. Quite possible. And then yet Jefferson, I mean, Donald didn't look bad. So he's got Saul two first picks. Three, four. That'll allow me neighbors like you touched on. Same thing. I just don't love it. I like neighbors more than I like a lava, actually, which is crazy. But I think a lava is just in purgatory. And I think neighbors is good enough to break out of purgatory more than a lava can. And then same thing with the rest of his draft. Took shots on some rookies paid off week one. We'll see what happens the rest of season. Got some keeper potential down there that JK Dobbins pick. Yeah. After seeing him run, I didn't even think he was healthy enough to start the year. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Great stuff. He looks fully healthy. Yeah. I'm going to give. You know, I'm actually going to give Lays just. An A. Yeah. I was I was thinking about parking. A minus. A minus. Yeah. A minus for blaze. All right. We've got 108 shout outs. Matt yesterday was his birthday. Turned the big two eight. Happy birthday. Happy birthday, Matt. That's really old, but it's okay. Yeah. It's pretty ancient. It's a little scary that we got in the elderly man playing in our league with us. But, you know, it's okay. It's okay. So Matt went. Jamart Chase. Kyron Williams. Jalen Waddell. DK Metcalf. Dalton Kincaid. Mike Evans. Kyler Murray. Javante Williams. Brian Thomas. Chase Brown. Brock Verde. And Jermaine Bert. I'd be scared if I was Matt to be honest right now. I'd be pretty scared. Yeah. I'm going to give Matt a B minus on his pick. I think I'm going. I think I'm going in. I'm either C plus or B minus. I think I'll go B minus. I do like some of his players. Like Kyron Williams. It's going to be really good. Don't know about skipping. I mean, he's kind of good this year. Definitely a top five running back threat. Jamart. I think it's going to get better. God. Surely it has to. Surely gets a little bit better. But I don't know. I mean, pretty decent. Like pretty good receivers. Mike Evans. Man, just so consistent. Dalton Kincaid. I think I wouldn't. I'm not that scared. I'm not a kid that he's going to be a player. I would agree with that. Except that he played 84% of the snaps. He got two targets in a game that scored 34 points in. Yeah. But it's just confusing. It is confusing. But so I wouldn't. I wouldn't panic about that yet. Javonta Williams being your RV to Matt is frightening. It's very frightening. It's scary. I'd have nightmares about it. He didn't. He didn't even lead the team in carries. Yeah. Yeah. Matt knows. I think Matt's going to be sniffing. Sniffing the waiver this week for an RV. Even though there's none there. Yeah. Chase Brown is. Chase Brown is potentially going to be getting more snaps as the season goes on. But Zach Moss was the clear starter. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is this is a C in my opinion. Yeah. I'm still going to hang on to a B minus just because of the upside that he can have with Chase Brown and potentially Trey Benson and TJ Hockinson as well. And then Brian Thomas was I think a great pig in the ninth round. Yeah. And he had a really solid week debut. Yeah. All right, Eric from the 109 when AJ Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Cooper cup, Sam Laporta, Stefan Diggs, James Cook, Rahim Moster, Chris Godwin, Jalen Warren, Jamison Williams, Christian Watson, Ty jailer, Jared Goff and Dalton Schultz. Man, I'd love to give this an F. I'd love to give it an F because we were educators, this is a arcade podcast. But I can't because this is a this is a B plus. This might be an A minus draft. I think I'm going to go B plus because I don't love the runbacks, but his first three picks are very good. There's there are going to be some really good players, Cooper cup is a target machine, especially with Puke out, oh God, we're looking at 20 targets again from that guy. I think Sam Porter is going to bounce back. It was just a weird week for tight ends. Keep saying that about every tight end, but it was really, really weird week for tight ends. His, I mean, his receivers are really good. I mean, who'd I say I said Donald had the best receiver group? I think Eric might be up there. Only good receivers, not great running back depth, that must say, where he most didn't have the usage week one. It's definitely Devon a chain there. Jail more and even he didn't knock at that much usage. Cordale Patterson is going to eat into him, I think, more than he's going to eat into Nashi. Yeah, Christian Watson or we're a receiver. I don't know why Eric likes him. Eric deserved to get water in the face. We didn't end up doing that. No, oh my God. We didn't do the water bets. Yeah. Well, that's going to happen. Eric claimed that Christian Walton was better than Jane Reid. I said, Eric, you're crazy. That's horrible take. He said, fine. He's going to outscore. I'm pretty sure Jane Reid tripled Christian Walton and Christian Walton had a one-yard touchdown. That's literally the only reason he had any relevancy this week, so yeah, just not very good. But I'll go, I'm going to go B plus because I think the running backs could potentially be an issue. Yeah. Yeah, B plus. I'm going to give him an A minus bordering on an A actually. I think that, yeah, his running back depth is quite god awful. I think his two starting running backs are very serviceable. Yeah. I think they're both top 15 guys. I don't think JT is the potential for a top five, more top 10 range. And then James Cook probably probably around 10 to 15, but yeah, his receivers, man. I mean, with Puke out, Cooper cup is looking like the steal of the draft now to be quite honest. Yeah. And with AJ Brown, those two together, really, really nice. He's got Sam Laporta, who I'm sure will do great things this year. Stefan Diggs fell to him at five nine. He scored this week, but I, not that that's flooky. It's just, I mean, I think that's the only way he's going to score points this year to be honest. He's going to get short, short catches, maybe some touchdowns. So it'll be a start, risky start in the flex position. If he ever wants to start him, Chris Godwin looked pretty good. I kind of categorize him in the same way as Stefan Diggs, but probably getting more yardage overall just because he's the, the two there. But yeah, depth that running back is definitely a weakness. Jameson Williams could potentially be a really great steal at, at the tend to, or could have been, you know, a huge game that might not translate to the rest of the season, especially because I'm going to raw had absolutely no involvement in the game. So we'll see what happens there. But then Jared Goff, I just, I don't like Eric's strategy. I loved, I was going to take off as a, as a backup for my Anthony Richardson. So I think, you know, he's got, well, what, 15 games at home or in a dome this year, which is where he thrives. But he did not look great week one against the Rams. And I just don't think, I mean, he's just going to be relying on his RB one, RB two wide receiver one wide receiver two to carry him every single week, putting up 20 plus points to, to get him over and games because I just don't think golf can. For his, you know, debatably, his flex positions can help him that much there. So that's why I went a minus instead of a otherwise really solid team hate to say it. But yeah, I think Eric will be competitive this year. So. Yeah, I didn't mention golf that having is your quarterback is it's fine, but I just don't think he should, I just, Eric, I just don't think you should have targeted golf as your starting quarterback. Like I think he'd be, you could have, I mean, I think he could have gotten a quarterback in the ninth round or, you know, like Jane Daniels in the 10th round, even, or even joining love. Jordan loves hurt now, but he could have got enjoyed loving the 11th or the 12th. And then you could have taken golf again. And if golf played well, you know, you could dump one of the other quarterbacks. So I, but we'll see what happens. So, all right. Last but not least, Dolan. And then we got to fly through the rest of this guy. We're at 46 minutes. We are over. We're on our own time, our own money. This is the first episode. We had a lot of housekeeping and draft review to do. Sure. This is gonna be a longer. It's longer. Yeah. It's important. All right. So Dolan at the 110 went. Jameer Gibbs, Garrett Wilson, brain and a youth. Jalen Hertz, Spark Andrews, Michael Pittman, Roman Dunes, Isaiah Pacheco, Hollywood Brown, Gus Edwards, Courtland Sutton, apparently, wait, I don't even know how you say it. I want to say Ad and I, Mitchell, but apparently it's Adani. Jared was saying they called him and I'm Mitchell and Colin. I think it's, I think it's at A.D. Mitchell. Yeah. David and Joku and Don Tavian wicks. Um, this is, this is one we can talk about because we had such high hopes for Dolan here. Every block draft, he had an elite team. This is a C minus, in my opinion, not that I just think it could have been so much more. I think he had the biggest advantage in the draft having, I'd say, a Pacheco in the eight. Yeah. Um, yeah, this is my least favorite draft. Sorry, Dolan. C minus. I think the first two picks are good. Shamir Gibbs and Isaiah Pacheco are really solid one too at running back. But damn, he only has one other running back. He has three running backs. That's not okay. That's never okay. Yeah. You better pray. You better pray to the Lord that nothing happens to either of your own backs, but it's holy shit. Yeah. It's going to be bad. And to be honest, I don't even really like his receivers. Yeah, I think, I think the thing for that is the receivers that he took are just kind of smelly. Yeah. I mean, Kara Wilson, I think it was going to have a good year. Brandon, I knew Cole, God, he did not, he looked rusty last night. Yeah, he did. I'm sure that touchdown. I'm sure it'll change, but yeah, I think he's a top top. I mean, top 20 receiver outside of him is just are you concerned with Mark Andrews, the usage? Yeah. Sorry. I've seen a lot of stuff on him. Obviously after this game, his backup got 13 targets. Yeah. We talked about this a lot. I've seen a lot. He played 74% of snaps. Seen a lot of coverage on how the Chiefs were defending him and double and triple teaming him and leaving Zayflowers and Isaiah likely and Justice Hill open, who got basically all of the work. Yeah. So, you know, I am a little concerned about Mark Andrews just a season just seeing how successful that was for the Chiefs. I'm sure it might try to be replicated by some teams. Do I think Mark Andrews is going to be just terrible and fall off a cliff this year? No, I don't. I think he'll be fine. I think he'll get five to seven touchdowns. I think he'll probably fall in maybe the seven to ten range at tight end rather than a top five, especially just because of, I think they're going to use likely a lot this year, regardless anyways, just because he's probably their second best receiver, second best receiver, it's Andrews likely and Flowers and then Justice Hill. So I wouldn't hit the panic alarm yet, Dolan. We'll see what you do tomorrow when waivers run. And that kind of goes, we can talk about waivers when we talk about likely, but just a little scary taking him in the fifth round for what he could have had. So I'm going to give Dolan, I'm going to give Dolan a C minus here. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, the receiver, the Michael Pittman, Ramadunze, Ramadunze is hurt, obviously. He's, is he on IR or see week to week, week to week with MCL sprain? I don't think Cole has any chance of playing this week, probably not next week, maybe the next week after that. I just think that was a bad pick. I just think that was a bad, same with the Hollywood pick. I don't like that pick at all. I think his best picks that are at, I didn't hate Mitchell, who looks pretty good or rookie. I don't mean, Giana Hertz, it's going to be good, he's going to get a lot of rushing touch rounds, but yeah, this, yeah, I, I'm not about this team. Yeah. We'll see what happens. But I mean, I was so disappointed in what Dolan's team could have been. I just want to take in another running back in the first three rounds to go with Gibbs and Pacheco. You would have been set because he didn't take another running back anyways. Right. And he went two onesies back to back in the four or five and I mean, he's truly, truly, truly just going to be relying on about four, four players to put up 20 plus a week to even more so than we just talked about with some other guys, but it's just the depth that running back is so scary. I mean, I mean, it's non-existent. It's Gus. He has one. It is. Yeah. And Gus Edwards is not even a starter. Yeah. He split carries with, with Dobbins boat. Yeah. He's probably going to get him. Yeah. Oh, so much better. He's probably going to get the gold line stuff, but yeah, that's just very, very scary. Very scary. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Okay. So the, yeah, that's the draft review. That's a draft recap. Yeah. So let's get into this review. Oh, this week's matchup, Scott. He don't mind this. Yeah. All right. Let's try and fly through them. We're going to start with, we're going to start with Michael Pappas taking on Blaze Redosovich, Blaze beating Papp 120.4 to 99.3. Really was kind of no contest throughout the whole weekend. Basically because to start Friday, Thursday and Friday, Blaze had Lamar go for 25 and Sake will go for 32, which is just tough to come back from. Yeah. And that was the case. So you know, I think Pappas team we talked about is pretty solid. It's tough with Googra out now, but he was, I think, the fourth high score of the week. So he's got, he's got room to play, but he might need to beef up, I don't know. If Puke out, I just, I, I worried about his depth. So we'll see. Yeah, not much dad, just, I mean, even, even with Blaze getting two, two out of a lobby and three out of Jake Ferguson, which he avoided a big injury. I don't think he's going to play this week. I think wasn't something else, he, some spring, some sort of sprint. So. Yeah. It was an ACL. Just like a doomsday. Yeah. He's got Dallas Goddard on the bench. He can pop up there. So yeah. Blaze's team looking good. Yes. Indeed it is. Yes. Indeed it is. His bench. Even, you know, Lev Makonki scored a touchdown without that. It would not have been a great week for him, but Tony Pollard scored. He was looking pretty good. So. Yeah. I was saying JK Dobbins was going to be probably a really bad play. But. Yeah. You did say. I had to eat my words there. Damn. Like you went crazy. And what a, what a ballsy play by Blaze. I mean, that's a ball. Yeah. If he had some insight there, I was like, dang. Mad props to you, Blaze, for, for starting JK Dobbins in your second flex. That's crazy. Yeah. I guess it was him or Tony Pollard probably. Um, so. But I don't know what gave him confidence to start JK Dobbins, but it paid off in a big way. Works big time. Yeah. We're big time. I'm a pep. I am just worried about his depth, man. I'm just so worried about it. JSA didn't get the involvement that we were looking for two of 19. Only had two targets. Are you, are you worried about? Are you worried about this, uh, Christian Kirk? Yeah. I'm worried about the Christian Kirk. I mean, Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas played majority of the game. They were in the two wide receiver sets, Kirk Kirk only played in three wide receiver sets. So. That's concerned. That's scary. He is like the one player that you would lean on this bench to be able to slot into the flex and, and Josh Palmer didn't, Josh Palmer didn't do it. He got ejected even actually, and, uh, Chubah Hubbard definitely didn't do it, even though he was the starter in Carolina. Uh, so it might have to be. Was that a committee? Yeah. Miles. He had six rushes. Oh, my. Sanders. Yeah. Wow. That's some. Wow. I completely forgot about that, man. So, uh, it's a little scary, Pat. It's a little scary, but we'll see what happens. All right. Next match up of the week, Dolan Hertz Donut. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention the team names. Blaze's team name is Gritty Gritty Bang Bang, and Paps got CDs, TDS, TDS, TDS. Blaze with another really good, really good team name. Yeah. It's not, not bad, not bad at all. Uh, all right, so then we got Dolan taking on Donald this week. Dolan Hertz Donut with a nice little Donut as his team logo, and then Donald, still the sub-90 dubs, sub-70-Ls. Don, you're going to need to change that, buddy, because you won 100.4 to 70.2 this week. And, uh, this is when we see that, that's C-minus for Dolan, or for Dolan's team coming in here. Yeah. It's just a really gross work, really gross work. It's, uh, it's a pacheco and Gibbs, which we had no concerns about putting up some good numbers. Dolan Hertz didn't have a great game in Brazil, uh, and then Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson, you're going to need more. Uh, I mean, first game back for Aaron Rodgers, he gets a really tough 49ers defense. I mean, Wilson was like the only target besides Breeze Hall, and then Lazar got some booty time, uh, catches and scores. Yeah. So, yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned. I think it'll get better going forward. And then we talk about Mark Andrews, Gus Edwards, Brandon Ayuk, which will get better as well. Um, but then the bench is just now, I mean, you say AD Mitchell looked good. He did, but he only had one catch in yards. He did. AR missed him twice. Don't touch them twice. Wide open, I saw a stat where he was like top 10 and created separation. Damn. Uh, so if we can get a little more consistency out of your QB day, I mean, again, he's not a very accurate quarterback. So you're going to get that from time to time, but he is electric. That one throw he had two out peers was insane. Yeah. And then Ashton Dolan as well for his long touchdown was like a fricking rifle. It's crazy. So yeah, it's the good and the bad. I mean, I think AR only like completed nine passes. So he had like over 200 yards. So yeah, yeah, uh, and then don't refer Donald side, uh, started Joe Burrow, but Jane Daniels is going to be the play. He just had to see, I think, uh, what Jane Daniels was capable of. And, uh, let me tell you really, really good stuff, 28 points on his bench. Yeah. He's going to get rushing touchdowns. Uh, did he play that good? No, but he, he's going to. I mean, it's kind of like AR, like he's going to get, it's going to be a good fantasy option because the rushing outside. Yeah. Exactly. And then those two running back to talk about remandre and David Montgomery putting up big weeks. Don't know how viable that's going to be for the whole season. Um, we shall see Tyree kill putting up a great game after getting fricking arrested before the game. That was insane. I can't believe you talk about that. Uh, crazy, craziness, and then the interview with fricking Drew Rosenhouse after before the game started. That's so wild. You know, I'm not going to, I'm not going to name any of the players, you know, who's who got involved and stuff for Tyree, but, you know, it was Kalei's Campbell and blah, blah, blah. Yeah. That's hilarious. So good. Are we concerned about Marv? Yeah. So Marv and Harrison Jr. second round pick put up one catch for 40 yards. Uh, you know, no, I'm not. You can just wear Marv, but at the same time, I am concerned about Marv just because how they were using him. Oh, so weird. They were just, they were as a downfield receiver. Uh, huh. You had three targets and most of his work at Ohio State was middle of the field routes, a lot of digs, a lot of posts. I mean, I just get him the ball in space. He can make people miss. It was weird, especially that fork down play there to end of the game. Yeah. That was all it looks like. Why are you throwing a, why aren't you throwing a jump ball to Marv there? Why are you throwing it to Craig Dorch, who's five a year, whatever he is? Yep. Which is bad scheme. It was. I, I, so I mean, like, I think it'll change. I mean, if not because of what they just saw, I mean, they, they were competitive against the bills, which is crazy. Um, Kyler wasn't amazing yet at okay statline, but he played like pretty well. He was pretty efficient, pretty conservative, uh, he played, he played well in the first half, not so much on the second half. Oh, man. He's got a look. You got, you just got to get Marv involved. Got to. You got, you got to be scheme and stuff for him. I mean, if you're, I think they're going to hear, they're going to hear it from the media. They're going to hear it from the fans. So I, I mean, they're, they're going to self-evaluate. I think this week about like, dang, we, that's, that can happen again. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I'm not, I'm not too concerned. We'll see if we'll see what happens week two. If we happens again, week two, then I'd be very concerned, uh, but not right now. Brock Bowers, like I mentioned, had a pretty good game. He was a, like, I mean, one of the top targets for partner and shoe. So it's a pretty good pick. And then Debo had a rushing touchdown, looked pretty involved in the passing game too last night. So solid pick there, especially starting him at flex. And then Zafric and flowers, dude, Zaflowers looked amazing on Thursday night, but six for 37 yards. Yeah. I mean, that was the story of him last year too. It's just, everything is like literally at the Linus for image. Yeah. Just a lot of stuff around a lot of screens. If you're not getting a score, he's not going to put it on. Yeah. He just doesn't, yeah, he doesn't score enough touchdowns, but he is a good player. I think he's, he's always going to be a good player. Good, good flex option, I think. Yep. For sure. And then, uh, I mean, Donald, your bench is, is pretty decent. Dondre Swift, uh, the bear just looked literally awful. So don't really know what's going to happen there. Eckler, it was getting, he is like playing in the slides, playing out wide. So I mean, two, two rushing attempts, that's kind of concerning, but he had four for 52 through the air. Yeah. Oh, hello Megan. And then tank del, tank del. That offense is just, it's like, who are you going to feed? A lot of it. It was not tank del this week. They also ran them all 30 times. So. Yeah. So I don't know. We'll see. I mean, I'm sure he'll be fine. Another guy. That's going to be good. I think he's going to be good. Yeah. Flex play all year. Yeah. And then Brandon Cooks who had a really good end of the season last year and just, you know, scored again. I think Dak likes him in the red zone and with Jake Ferguson out. Yeah. Sneaky. I think a sneaky flex. Sneaky flex. Yeah. Sneaky. Good pick wasn't the last round. Yeah. Let me go check my draft board behind my bedroom quick. Yeah. Last round. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so not bad. Not, it's looking pretty good Donald. I don't know if you're going to need another destruction episode this year or not. We'll see. All right, we had Eric take on Matt this week. First matchup of the in house at OC. Eric copped these nuts in Laporta potty courtesy as courtesy of his wife and Matt the albino polar bears trademarked classic team. Back again. Back again. Yep. Eric won this matchup 113 to 79.4 and yeah. This is we're concerned. We're concerned for Matt. Again. We are. I mean, I'm just, I mean, obviously, I think the receivers are pretty solid. I mean, I mean, that James and Williams down there and the RB2 is going to be not good for Matt all year. I think he knows it. He definitely knows it. So he might be, you might be working on some trades. Did you say Jameson or you mean Javite Williams? Yeah. Javite Williams. Yeah. It's very good. Yeah. The Denver running back. Yeah. It's just not a very good team. So yeah, he just doesn't have another running back. So. Yeah. He might be looking for one. So Alex, who has claimed he is a drafted running back simply to trade. Matt. Yep. We'll see what Matt does. Reach out. Reach out. Yeah. I mean, Matt's got four really, really high end receivers. Yeah. Plus. Plus. Plus. Plus Brian Thomas on the bench. So he's got, he's got expendable assets for a running back there. Actually, you know, maybe I might be in the, I might throw my hat in the ring for that. I don't know. We'll see. But yeah. Mike Evans looked great. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. We'll just, we'll see what happens. I don't want to panic on Matt's team yet. I mean, Tyler, Tyler had the ground game. He had 50, 70 yards of rushing, but he only threw one touchdown. So that's why his s'mores are down. Yeah. And I mean, no, I mean, I mean, you had no other touchdown from this. Other receivers. I think DK is going to be, I think DK is going to be fun. Yeah. I think he'll be fine. I think he's always like a, it was a weird game. He'll be a top 20 guy. Oh, I mean, I mentioned before, Duncan Kade. I know you said you're a little concerned. I'm not concerned. I think Kade's going to be a top five tied end this year. I had a massive, just two, I mean, this is like Marvin Harrison, like two targets, which is funny because it's the same game. Yeah. They go back. Like two targets. You thought we're going to be more involved to target. You thought we're going to be number one on each team. Got three and two. Yeah. So it'll be better. You know, water looked good. Um, yeah, but Eric's team was carried by a few standout performances. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and including a guy that's on the bench in James and Williams. So, I mean, and I mean, Dick's got Dick scored two touchdowns. They didn't realize that. Yeah. Um, yeah. It's a good week, America. Yeah. We're back to play not still not great, but you take that Christian Watson horrible, horrible start. I don't know. I mean, again, I don't know why he started him. Just terrible. I don't know if he just wanted a guy and I'm looking here and he had 80, bro, horrible start. I don't know why you're not starting, uh, digs or, I mean, I'll feed you. Great to risk on Jameo, but yeah, Christian Watson, bad start. Yeah. Agreed. He won't be doing that again, but he's probably going to try to do it again just to stick it to me. Like, if you got 15 this week, 100%, 100%, but three yards or three reception for 13 yards with a bailout touchdown, you're just, you're lucky he didn't get like two points for Eric. Very lucky. Didn't even matter. Didn't even matter because Matt's team was so bad. Nope. Yeah. It did not matter. It did not matter. He couldn't, he couldn't have been high score of the week, but he was, he was too stubborn and he had to start Christian Watson. Yeah. But I think Eric's feeling good. I mean, like, almost his entire team had a touchdown and he had a bunch on the bench too. So he's feeling pretty good, feeling pretty good about how his players start the year. Okay. Next matchup. Um, he got me taking on Alex Reese Lightning versus Najee Germany, which I think this was the most mid game of the week, point that out as an award. Okay. Mid matchup of the week. Mid receiver play of the week. Absolutely. Oh, absolutely. They went ban for bands. That's not even a question. Yeah. Yeah. And it was all about who's QB and running backs could do two better and it was me in the end. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think Dak was in for a big week, but Cleveland, they just got up. Yeah. So, so much, they didn't really throw the ball that much. Um, yeah, you don't expect two point eight on the prop. Yeah. That just ain't gonna happen again. Very flukey. Yeah. Very, very flukey. Obviously not concerned, but that really hurt Alex. Um, Joe mixed and looked really good. Too much looked incredible. Yeah. He looked very good. A lot of usage. Jamie Pierce basically just sat on the bench, did nothing all game as expected. Um, Derek Henry kind of concerned. Yeah. You concerned? Kind of. Especially after a Harbaugh's comments. Mm hmm. Very concerned. Oh. He's just going to be kind of a red zone guy. Yeah. Traving bride, someone I'm not concerned about either. Just, I think he's nine targets. Yeah. Yeah. Camara. What do you think about Camara? Playing the Panthers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How much you can put into it. I mean, receiver suck. We, we, yeah. I mean, just scary, scary, scary, scary performances, scary, Terry, with a, yeah, they really, really, really, really scared about Terry. That's scary. Honestly, I'd be scared about Keenan as well. And he's got no one to slot up there. Yeah. Jerry Judy got hurt. Uh, I think. Yeah. Even though he's not questionable. He got bailed out. He got bailed out with a late touchdown at that. Uh, yeah. And then, I mean, it's, I mean, actually, not, not she actually looked pretty decent. Yeah. All they're going to do is run the ball. He wasn't efficient. 20 for 70 is not efficient, but like he's getting the work. Yeah. If they can. Someone I could be up in a flex for sure. And I think Zach Moss is a pretty safe flex guy. It's just your receivers, Alex. They're just not good enough. Don't worry. He's going to trade for one. Mm hmm. He'll be good. He'll be good. Uh, and then my side of the ball. Yeah. Again, we mentioned good running backs, scary, scary receivers too. Yeah. I think you are definitely going to be slotting in worthy up there into a flex because- Oh, yeah. Deontase. Deontase. Bad. Real bad. I mean, two, I mean, three targets, two receptions, two touchdowns. That's definitely not going to be an every week thing. But I mean, he's always got, I mean, he just got touched down potential every week. Yeah. And I don't think Deontase Johnson does not have to do it because the Panthers don't score touchdowns. Yeah. Amari concerning. How concerned are you with Amari? Uh, yeah. I'm not actually that concerned. They were playing Dallas, uh, if we've got a good defense and we know what Deontase is, I think Deontase will get a little better during the season. I don't think he will. He looks like he's, I don't know, he has no zip on the ball. No. He's just, that's a weird dude. He's just a weird dude. I don't even know. I'd hate him as a teammate. He's got a fresh loss. He just had another loss. Yeah. I just, and I read, I read an article about that. Yeah. It's just, it's weird. His bros do that. It makes me feel bad. Did you, did you see on Twitter where the, some fans like found the burner account of fitting him like, it's hundreds of tweets. Oh my God. They're very insane. It's his burner. Yeah. It's really funny. But I mean, Amari had nine targets. So I'm not concerned about that at all. It's more just about if they're going to be catchable. And so. And how many of them are going to be for touchdowns? Yeah. Well, he actually should have had a touchdown yesterday. He dropped it or not yesterday on Sunday. So you know, I would have been too upset if he had 10 points. Yeah. I'll take that to be quite honest. If you give me 10 every week, that's why I drafted three top TRBs. So. Okay. And then DJ Moore, less concerned for a different reason though, I think Caleb Williams will get better. He'll get better. He will. Yes. And he got paid. I think he'll be fine. He'll have big games and then he'll have games where he'll do what he just did this week, which is five for 36, seven and afterwards. So. It's not great. Can't say I love it. But Xavier Worthy with upside and my running backs are just I'm hoping are going to carry me. So. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And then last match of the week was you and Jared defending champ Jared, putting up the low total of the week, my home's to Kelsey touchdown. What a shit named Jared. Yeah. That's actually horrible. I don't understand. 68.6 and big booty butler, 125.7. What do you think of the name guy? Oh, it's a good name. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. That's a good name. You had a good week. Nothing to be too sad about except that Jordan loves her. Yeah, I'm just I'm just and Christian McCaffrey's hurt and he begins to start. I got a lot of injuries already like I did last year. But that didn't stop you didn't stop Jordan Mason. Yeah. Thank God. I picked up the handcuffs earlier this week. I think I picked him up on Friday. Yeah. Thank God I did. It would have been as I don't even know what you would have done. It wouldn't have mattered. I still would have won but it would have been annoying because I would have had to outfit a lot of people to get in this week. Yeah. Especially against what he just did. He looked really good. Yeah. He looked incredible. He looked really good. I think a lot. I mean, is it your white? I don't know. I mean, he got out. He got out snapped and carried by Matt Madison. That offense just isn't going to be very good, so you never know. I'd like to rest my team. I'm not that concerned by Evan Ingram. Um, we'll catch five yards. Yeah. Um, he does that. Yeah. Four targets. Yeah. If I get that next two, two, three weeks, then I'll probably be concerned by, I mean, Trevor Lawrence is historically used him a lot. So. Yeah. We'll see. Uh, read, read with Malik Willis. Uh, yep. I'm praying that Jordan love that doesn't miss too much time, but that might be spooky. The saving grace with him, I, he's going to get, he's going to get some end around. Yeah. Okay. Gadget plays. He's going to get some screens that Malik Willis can hopefully throw five yards. Um. Yeah. Yeah. So I think, I think he's still playable for sure. Rashi Rice looks really good. And Monte Smith consistent, um, yeah, we got to touch down every night. Josh, Josh Jacobs looked pretty good there in the second half. He looked really good. Um, he got a freaking touchdown, cultured from Christian Watson, literally slant on the one yard line. What the hell? But Josh Allen, though, Josh Allen thinks running in touchdowns, getting 30 points. That's why I took him. I like it. That's why you take him, you know, Jared on the other hand, scary. Yeah. Jared, again, back to our draft grade. I see the, I mean, I see the weeks where he's going to put up high numbers, but then you got this. Like he's capable of this, which is what's not great, um, because it's the receivers. It's not even the running backs, because he's got the running back depth to flex some of these guys in here, but yeah, it's these receivers and it's Kelsey. The Drake, the Drake London and Bijon stack, they're not intentional, but I don't like that. Yeah. There's going to be weeks where they both score touchdowns, but I think there's going to be weeks where I can see you trying to move either Bijon or London. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He already tried to get breached from you. Yeah, he did. He did. He did. He did. He did. He did. Um, yeah, my homes. He's just like, he's going to have his good fantasy weeks, but he's not like the best fantasy player. Yeah. A fantasy player, like he's an like, actual, you just need to throw four touchdowns every week. Basically. And that's, yeah, that's kind of the issue. Calvin Ridley on the will, I mean, will the will live us with like maybe the best meme of scene in the long time, kneeling down head on his hands. Yeah. He's, he's bad. I mean, he's, he's single handedly lost the tightens that game. Yeah. Frank Callahan was like, if we would have punted every drive, we would have won. Wow. What a quote. Um, yeah. And he's not wrong. He's not wrong. He's not wrong. That Devin Singletary is the giants are just so poop. He's, he's not going to score that many touchdowns. They're going to be down in games. They're going to be throwing. I don't like it, George Pickens actually looked pretty good. He's got some pieces on the bench that he can slot up there for sure. I mean, forward and be Rob or absolutely flex plays. Um, yeah, it, yeah, I don't know. Kind of concerned. I'd be concerned if I was Jared. I really would. It would be too. I would be too. All right. That's around it for this week, uh, got, we are pressed on time guys. So quick. Give me an AB award winner of the week. Oh, I mean, it could be tight, tight hill getting arrested. It could be that is very AB move, even though it wasn't his fault just happened to. Yeah. I'm gonna, I'm, I could be Alex, could be Alex, could be Alex, I want to give a sneaky dark horse shot here to, uh, to Malik neighbors. Cause did you see him post game interview or are there asking him about like Jones and like, what's going on? Yeah. Stuff. He's like, man, I don't know what happens back there. I just try to run my route and get open. He's like, I don't know. I don't know what's going on back there. That's just a really fun. That's some, I just saw a, you can burn it to him running off the field. He's like, this is what Malik neighbors going to be doing here in a couple of weeks. Yeah. That's a good shout. Yeah. I liked that a lot. Yeah. You want to give it too. I'll give you a final say Malik Malik. Malik. All right. Malik it is then. Yeah. A leak neighbors. We do roll right into an AB tweet a week. Oh, yeah. Very quickly. Get that in here. So how many poems? Yeah. Yeah. Not many poems this week, but I did find one. This isn't really a poem. It's more of a statement, but he framed it like a poem or a question. Yeah, but he definitely typed it as a framed it as a poem. Sorry, I ghosted you for three months. I lost my charger. What are you doing tonight, though? It's just babies, babies looking for a sneaky link. It's just beautiful. It's just beautiful. It's beautiful. It's beautiful in the crowd. And I, yeah. Oh, man. I mean that first line, read me that first line one more time. Sorry, I ghosted you. Oh, gosh. What's more AB? What's more AB than that? I'll paint trout support. Maybe. But that's kind of the same thing. Exactly. It's beautiful. It's all in. The double meanings, the triple meanings. Oh, it's just. Yeah. It's too good. Lost my charger. The lies. You know, for a fact, he did not lose his charger. He's been tweeting. She sees him on Twitter tweeting. He didn't lose a charger. He lost her number. And that next line was that next line. What are you doing tonight, though? Oh, God. What's more AB than that? He wants another child. Look at him. He wants another child. But good time. That's all he's looking for. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. A little party at 12 a.m. Oh, AB. All right. You want to give a quick shout out to that other tweet we're thinking about discussing? A little sponsored tweet. Oh, yes. So I don't think it. I don't know if it's over yet. You might still be. There's time. There's time to get on this. Oh, might be good. Yeah. Let me go find this real quick. So if you want to, if you want a new iPhone, iPhone 15 giveaway, AB is actually giving away an iPhone. All you have to do is like and repost his his yeah, I think it ends tonight, guys. So you're listening this up, get it out quick, go to AB, go to AB, it's Twitter, you got a like and repost a tweet, you got to follow two crypto scammers on Twitter and you're in your and you have to follow AB and CTSP and account. But that's all you got to do and you have a chance to win a new iPhone brand new iPhone, man. Has it come loaded with the box Twitter? I mean, they're actually, this could be a scam too. I actually just see a picture of the box. There might not be an IP. It might just be the box. Yeah. Well, what's more? What's more AB than that? Nothing. Oh, man. Oh, baby. That's awesome. You're willing. I mean, you're willing to take the risk, there's, I mean, there's, I don't know. If you want to be spammed by crypto, crypto nerds, if it's worth it to you for a new iPhone, there's your chance. Yeah. He could enter. All right, guys, let's quickly, I'm going to just state the matchups for next week. We're not going to run through. We will think about doing our project, our predictions like we did last year and maybe tracking them down and see who has the most right at the end of the season, but we don't have the time this week. We're already at an hour and 22 minutes, so. So I play Papas this week. Eric has taken on Jared. Zach, you're taking on Donald. Matt is taking on Dolan and Alex is playing Blaze. You want to, you want to quickly give a matchup of the week? Yeah. Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. The matchup of the week won the watch. I think matchup of the week is, oof. I honestly, I think I got to give it to Matt first, Dolan. It's two O and one teams and desperate need of some wins. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to put a leg up here in this game. Could be pivotal for the season. Just trying to scrap away wins. Me and Donald, the only one in one in one or one in a matchup. Oh, teams? Yeah, there are. No teams. Yeah. We'll see if I'm down CMC this week, hopefully not, but I can slot in. Slot in a nice Jordan Masonian. I'm actually projected the lowest amount here this week. It's interesting. I mean, Jared is projected the most and we just don't see that happening. Yeah. So, you know, ESPN projections don't matter. All right. Guy, quickly. So, we're just talking about wins here, thinking, how many wins do you think you need to be safe this year in our league to not come in last? I think five is safe. You need five to be guaranteed safety? I think so. What do you think can edge out second last place? So last year, three and eleven was the bottom of the league. You think four wins can do it again this year? You think someone's going to be really, really bad? Yeah, I do think there's going to be a few teams that are pretty bad. I don't know about three. I mean, that's pretty historic for me last year, three wins. I think the loser has four. I think the league loser this year is four. I think I'm going to agree with you on that one. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So I think you need five or four and more points. Yes. Points are very important. Yeah. I mean, Matt, when it comes down to your and beat me on points. Yep. Exactly. It's important. Yes, indeed. All right. Let's see. Let's do one more thing. Let's run through some of your favorite waiver pickups for this week. And then we can sign out of here. Okay. Yeah. Let's scroll over here. I think if you need a quarterback, AKA Eric, Jay Fields, again Denver, isn't looking pretty spicy. I like that play. Running back, saying there ain't a lot out there, folks. You need a running back? The waiver wire probably isn't for you. Yeah. I mean, Jaleel McLaughlin's, the top projected pickup against a pretty good Steelers defense. That's pretty poop. I mean, if you are trying to lose, you'll probably play him. Yeah. I do want to give a special shout out here to Tank Bigsby, though. Yeah. He looked pretty-- He matched the same amount of carries. Yeah. He matched UTN and carries and had more yards. Mm-hmm. Yeah. He could be a play. Or he could be terrible. He could definitely be a play. Yeah. He could be. Well, the receiver-- I mean, receiver's the same thing. I think it's a lot of guys that are going to be touchdown dependent. You're not going to get guys that get eight targets. I mean, if you want to make a play at Allen Lazard, maybe your best option. I think-- I mean, Rashid Shahid is good, but he's so touchdown-- Is that high volatile play? Mm-hmm. If you want to inject some high points in your lineup-- If you want a guy that's going to-- yeah, could get a 60-yard catch. 60-yard touchdown. I mean, he's your guy. Obviously, do not pick up Allen Thealynn. That guy's washed. Huge. Huge got targets. Huge got targets, man. He got five targets. I don't know if he dropped any. Maybe he didn't. Um, maybe. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I think-- I want to give a shout out to One Dale. One Dale Robinson had 12 targets-- 12 targets for the Giants, but only translated into 8.8 points, because Daniel Jones is just terrible. How many of those were within five yards of the line of scrimmage? Probably a lot. Yes. Probably 10 of them. Yeah, probably a lot. And then, you know, you got the-- I mean, there's just-- there's no Puke Nakooas, there's no Kyron Williams pickups from week one, like last year. No. You got some guys that could-- you know, could be OK, plays. If we were in full PPR leagues, I mean, One Dale would be great if he's getting 12 targets. Tyler Lockett, I feel like I could see Papp as picking him up for Puke Nakooa replacement. And then he got to Marcus Robinson to Tyler Johnson, who could take some more playtime with Puke down, so-- there's just no one here that you'd like-- Feel comfortable starting. Yeah, so we'll see what happens on the waivers this week. We got one more position to go over, and this is probably the most hot topic. Yeah. The Isaiah likely sweepstakes. Yeah. Who's-- Who's going to win it? Are you bidding? Uh, no. I don't think I'm going to bid, because I trust Evan Ingram. And I also think people are going to-- I really don't know how much he's going to go for. Like, I don't have a guess. I don't even know what I would bid if I was bidding. Yeah. I am bidding, and I don't know what I'm going to do, because I'm not sold that he's going to do this every week. I mean, it was a lot of dumpoffs in the fourth quarter that he got. I do think, like I said, he'll be more involved in the offense. Mm-hmm. Like, yeah. He is good. Like, he is good. Yeah. But I mean, if you wouldn't just want to bid and throw him on your bench, just in case, like, definitely, definitely an option. Yeah. I am. You're not-- if you're not sold on your tight end, maybe? Yeah. Uh, I definitely don't know what people are going to pay. I'm not going to pay an arm and a leg for him. Like, we would have with Puka and Kyron last year. Mm-hmm. But I feel like-- I mean, I don't know what Dalton does. I mean, we'll see what happens. I don't know what he's going to go for. True. We'll see. We'll see. You get fryer moves. I don't know. Fryer moves, always. There's a couple-- there's a couple of decent tied-- I mean, there's good streaming tight end options if you need one. There's Joanne Johnson scored. There's Fryer move. He was pretty involved. Colby Parkinson was pretty involved. Oh, yeah. He was involved. Mm-hmm. Oh, Conk was scored a touchdown. I mean, Mike is sick. He could have had a touchdown. Yeah. He could catch. Uh, yeah. So, you know, there's options. Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft was very involved, as we know, from Eric. So-- But he only got three targets. Yeah. Also, I found out that the one Dale Robinson information for you guy. Yeah. Yeah. You know when his yards per target was? Um, I'm going to go with, like, four. It was 3.67. Wow. What a guess for me. That's scary bad. Yeah. So. All right, boys, that'll be the show for today. A guy, anything you want to say before we get out of here? No, just glad to be back. Talking ball. Yep. It's great to be back. Oh, yeah. So much optimism and hope for the season. Yeah. If you haven't lost it already. No. I know. Just, I mean, this is just the best time of year. It is. We didn't even talk, we didn't even talk to football. No, we didn't. We'll get into that, though. We spent a lot of time on draft, so. Obviously, Michigan lost, so that's not to double what we can do. Horns up, baby. Yup. Just so excited to be back, best time of the year. Go on, Sparty. Yep. Top of the Big Ten. You'll love to see the not ranked Michigan State Spartans. I actually saw, there's upcoming schedules ridiculously hard, so look for some, some some, also just quick shout out to Pitt for taking a big old dump on UC in their own stadium. That was amazing. I love that. And Notre Dame losing to Northern Illinois at home. Yep. Great stuff. Great, great stuff. Alrighty, boys. A/B is going to take us out of here, alright? We will talk to you shortly. Bye-bye. People of America, it's the all-new Sonic Smasher. Lip-free, eat Sonic. Alright, nope. Two ads play on an accident. Put that stone, put that stone on. Put that stone, put that stone on. Put that stone on.
