Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. It's fair. It's gone to Super Bowl. Here we go. Guy, what up? Welcome back to another depression. Rage filled episode. Call baby. I can't wait. It just doesn't stop. It doesn't stop baby. Week after week. It's the same thing. Weekly, weekly Tuesday therapy session. Yeah, I bet if you like string together the intro or like the first five to ten minutes of every podcast we've done over the past three years. It's overwhelmingly probably about pain and depression and sadness. The first year too. Those are teams who are good the first year we had to follow. Maybe. Was that the, actually yeah, that might have been the year that I made them. Was that the more handling? I was here. I was here. You can't expect that on camera. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. And the bangles were good. The bangles were good. Not at the start of the season but at the end for most of the season. They just lose every game. All right, Guy, I got a challenge for us for this episode. We're a minute and 41 seconds in now. Okay. Can we keep it under 60 minutes? No. Oh, God. Can we try? Well, we can try. Okay. Let's try. Let's try. Let's just see how long it takes us to get carried away. All right, guys, welcome back. Episode five, week five and then vell season is over. Yeah, you've already, we've already, we have already previewed it but there was much pain. There was much rage. There was much depression for a lot of different reasons. But let's start off with any ram links we want to, we want to cover before we jump into this NFL talk guy. Anything you want to get out there into the world? Get the, we got the Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks playing Saturday. Go Ducks, baby. I'm excited for that. Five states of three and a half point favorite. What time is that game? Union. So seven. Seven. Oh, good. Good, good, good. I like the night games better. Yeah. Seven point favorite. No, three and a half. Three and a half point. Three and a half point. Yeah. What do you think of that line? Good line? That's a pretty good line. But it's in, it's in Eugene, right? Yeah. I'm going to take the ducks. I got to take the ducks. To cover? Yes. Oh, so you think my state's going to win? No, I don't. Honestly. I don't. I think, I think Oregon's going to win. But we'll see. Why? Because it's that Oregon? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I have no other reasoning but that. Yeah. Okay. I'm pretty confident. I think I'll have to go win. Just we'll see. Michigan lost this week. They did. They did. They did. They played a team that actually like stacked the box against them because they cannot throw the ball. Who? I don't even know who their quarterback is. They've had three different quarterbacks already this year. Oh, Lord. Store games. Jesus. They've only- They've only lost two now, right? Texas and Washington. Rematch for the championship last year. Yeah, that is, I thought it was mid championship game rematch ever. Maybe. Maybe both are like great. Yeah, Washington's pretty bad. But it's a really good call triple slate this week. It was a good one last weekend. Well, that wasn't like not off paper, but ended up being amazing. There were so many upset. That's crazy. Mizzou was like the first big team to go down and then no one's even talking about them losing because. Well, they went to double OT with Vandy last week, so Vandy almost beat them. Oh, dang. And then they got Alabama this week. That's kind of hilarious. That's awesome for Vandy. Taking the goal post down the Broadway, throwing it in the river. God. Dude, stuff. Man, I would love to have been there for that. I think this is all God of insane. This may be the biggest upset in the past like 20 years. 20 years? Oh, yeah. Bigger than Apple. I should state versus Michigan in week one. It's like that level. Yeah, I think it is Alabama's number one team in the country. Yeah. And they haven't beat Vandy hasn't beat Alabama like 40 years. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Crazy, crazy. That's pretty awesome. Love the suit. I actually didn't get to watch it because I was at a wedding Saturday in the middle. Oh, my God. Yeah, it was your weekend. It's good. I don't even know. I did on Friday. I'm just asking about the wedding, really. Tell me about the wedding. Saturday, drive up. They want to explain who it was, what this was. It was my, it was Megan's coworker getting married and I got invited a month ago. That's like, I don't actually have to go to this, right? But of course, I did have to go. Wasn't happy about it, but I did it. Drove up there. It's a lot. It's Ohio. Three hour drive. Ooh, maybe. If you know where the alignment is, it's kind of near Lima, like vague area of the state. Yeah, it was in the middle of nowhere, in a barn. They served us well, well water. I was telling you guys, this water, if you guys have never had water or well water, it tastes like pitties or blood. I think it tastes like blood and it smells like eggs. It kind of just killed the whole, it killed their woman. Would you stick to alcohol instead of the water? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How many drinks did you assume? I was approaching double digits probably. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. But yeah, it was a good wedding. Did you dance? Wasn't bad. Yeah, I danced a little bit. Wow. A little. I mean, nowhere near time, Zach. But did you know with anybody do Megan know anybody else there? Yeah, she had a couple coworkers that had, I hadn't met before. So I knew. Okay, okay. That's good. You weren't alone. The drive home horrible. And then let's get into it. The bangles, coming home to watch that bullshit after a three hour drive. I got up at nine a.m. so I could get back for the game. Oh my God. I feel bad for burrow, man. I really do. He's so good. And he's having a great year. And Zach Taylor, the defense. Like they literally won off each other. There's like one is like hold my beer every week. What's what's worse? Okay. We haven't gotten, we haven't gotten to do it yet, but everyone knows the plays. Obviously, the bangles had an amazing offensive day. Joe Burrow literally playing almost a perfect game besides the interception. Only mistake he made all day. But nearly perfect. And that should be plenty for your team to win a game. But no, our defense, as we've been saying all year is just catastrophically bad. Embarrassingly bad. They legitimately can't get a stop ever. No. I'm pretty sure almost not every team. 80% of the teams in the NFL could score a touchdown or field goal on almost 100% of drives. Forget this team. Yeah. It's disgusting. I saw a guy this. The third down percentage. Do you have a number? I've never seen a deep and so bad a third down. Do you have a number for us? It's like 80 to 90%. Like eight or nine, eight or nine out of ten third downs that they're just converting. And it doesn't matter how long it is. It's usually short because we can't stop the run. So there's a lot of third and fours, third and threes. That's what it was against Washington. That's kind of what it was on Sunday. It's crazy. They just refuse to get off the field. There's absolutely no path rush. Basically if Trey Hendrickson doesn't win, your quarterback can have all day throw. The corners, the DBS, they might be worse than the D line because God, they can't cover anyone. They really can't. And then Daxhill towards ACL. And he's actually been our best corner, which is so sad. That's how bad the others are. DJ Turner, trash. Can't pay a Brit. Really bad. Really, really bad. Someone who talks that much shit should not be that bad. It's insane. Sam Hubbard. Sam Hubbard. This is what I want. This is what I was prepping. So if you didn't see the play, fourth quarter, Ravens are down. They are inside. They're in the red zone, pop the score. Lamar's scrambling like crazy. He's back behind the line of scrimmage. 15 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Sam Hubbard is after him. He's taken him to the line, forcing him towards the out of bounds, the side lead. Gets his hands on him. Two hands gets two hands on Lamar Jackson. Two different times. Who then sticks his arm out into Sam Hubbard's face, a D line, man. And he falls to the ground like a leaf. He literally had his hand on him and then Lamar like shoved him off and then he got back to him and then he just completely face plants him into the ground and pursue a 40 in air yard dart to Isaiah, likely in the end zone wide open. And our and our corner is just just let him go. They're like, Yeah, we're not covering this. So so so is that play worse? Then bangles over time. Lamar foam was to snap. We recover. We take it back to our set, the Raven side of the 50. Where Zach Taylor proceeds to run. Basically, I formation or single back on three straight plays running it up the gut for approximately two yards. honor. That's it's so on brand. The most conservative coach ever. That's a worse place. They're so different, though. What's what's worse? Tell me what's worse. Sam Hubbard getting thrown down. Yeah, that's Zach Taylor. Zach Well, Zach Taylor's just a dumb ass. Sam Hubbard, who is a 280 pound DN, getting face planted, like literally just thrown like swatted away by Lamar Jackson's who was 200 pounds. That's embarrassing. That's Bob Harrison. And he's to hang it up. That's a retirement moment. That's when you need to realize you need to retire. I mean, yeah, Zach Taylor, Zach Taylor can't do it anymore, dude. And he doesn't take any responsibility. It's completely ridiculous. He's lucky. He's not been canned yet. Yeah, like Robert's solids. Yeah, he doesn't Mike Brown doesn't have the balls to fire Zach Taylor. Zach Taylor is more reason to be fired than Robert's solid does. Oh, all 100%. I take him over Zach Taylor. It's easy. It's crazy, dude. It's absolutely crazy. We're going to have some good options at coaching here. Mike Gray will's out there. I take Mike Gray will in a second. I take Robert's solid in a second. Eric's going to ask you if you want to build bill check or Jim Harbaugh. No. All right, I can't talk about the Bengals anymore. Is there anything that you want to say about them? I was just going to say this is exactly what happened. I think it was two years ago. You remember the Green Bay game? That went over time. Oh, yeah, we were talking about this. They did the same thing. It literally, so they get to the 45 yard line and Zach Taylor is just cool with settling for 55 yard field goals. He's like, yeah, okay, we'll just say. Not even going to try. Not even going to try. I have an offense settles for a 55 yarder. That isn't a give me. I know you have a good kicker, but like, oh my God, I just didn't even try an offense. Didn't even try. Insane. He's so conservative. He's one that's conservative play caller. I think I've ever seen and he needs to be gone. He needs to be out of football, period. Like he shouldn't get another job. That's how bad he is. Shouldn't be around. Should be a youthful ball coach. So Robert, Robert's all I got fired today from the Jets, which was crazy to me. So weird. Undisturbed. They say he got escorted out. I saw that. I don't hear. I don't know how true that is. Did he take it? There's multiple people that reported that. I think the chefs are saying that. There are some pretty reliable sources. I'm not going to believe that. That's crazy behavior. He what? I don't understand. Aaron Rodgers. I think that's the answer. He's on a more level. On more levels such a douche, man. I think he hates the problem. Why? He's a good coach. I know. Well, because Aaron doesn't take any responsibility or accountability. Everybody hates Aaron Rodgers. Who likes Aaron Rodgers himself, but why is ownership siding with a 42 year old quarterback? Has been horrible. It's a great question. That's a great question. Why are they conceding to everything he wants? Don't know. That's a great question. Are they going to give up a second round pick? Because I saw what they want for the months. They said second round and a later pick too that they want. That's nuts. He was supposed to be on Kay Adams show this morning. She tweeted that last night and then canceled like an hour later last night. I don't know. That's got to get results soon. I feel like it should be needs to. I don't know. Pretty insane. Drake may apparently is supposed to start this week, potentially. There's rumors of that spread right now. Yeah, they announced it. Oh, they announced it officially. Yeah, yeah. It's official. He's starting. That's why we'll see how that goes. Really, really just why. Yeah, I don't, I'm going back to Rodgers. He's just complete douche. Complete, complete douche. He's such a cry, baby. He's not playing well. No, he's living in there. How can you blame that on? I was I was looking, they have like the same number of points or scores or something as the through week five as the team did last year. Yeah, I saw that too. Yeah. Also, Sol is a defensive guy. Their defense is really good. Yeah, it's the thing. Hackett and Roger. Yeah, it's because Aaron Rodgers insists on having the worst OC in football. He would not be an OC for any other team in the league, but Aaron Rodgers seems to like him. I don't know why. It's crazy. Also, did you see so many, so many people tweeting that RFK is going to be named interim? That's hilarious. Who is interim at coach? Have they said anything? I it's like yeah, it's it's not it's their decordinator thing. Okay. Okay. What's the point then, dude? Dude, what if it was Nathaniel Hackett? That would be crazy. I don't know. He shouldn't be fired. I was just saying was I did I say this on the pod last week or was I saying this to you this weekend that uh the Jets need to do with the bills that last year and fire the roc fired Nathaniel Hackett. Yeah, I just I just said thank you uh mind I said that this weekend after the game was over on Sunday. Yeah. Oh, but okay. They they fired that coach instead. That what what a man. Just wild. I don't know what's going to happen the rest of the season for the Jets. It could be really good. It could be really bad. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, you can't really get much worse. I guess he can't work. Yeah, I think worse. Aaron Rodgers looks kind of crappy. Well, yeah. So how can it get worse? I don't think they're playoff team. Yeah. I don't think they're close close. I don't think it can get worse. It'll just either stay the same or get better. We'll see. I don't know. You really think it was Rogers just I was quite possibly it wouldn't be shocked. Say that, I guess. No. If he had to say it's pretty likely that that is what happened because like he I mean, Rogers, he is a walking moaning bitch. So I don't think it's any crazy thing to think that he would be mouthing off to ownership about Robert Salah. I just can't believe that ownership is going to want to fire their head coach who's very respected. And there's a good a good coach and a really good defensive coach. And their defense is really good. And it just be like, all right, he's gone because Aaron, Aaron wants him to be even though he has nothing to do with the offense. Aaron Rodgers is a wide coach. They're not losing because of their off their defense or losing because of their hotheads. Let's see. Rogers is gonna be Rogers's eight or a pet coach. It's one of this. Just the same. Yeah. Really, really weird. All right. So the Bengals lost this week. Packers won this week. Yeah. They beat the Rams. The Rams who looked really bad. That was a bad, that was a bad game. Both by both teams. The Bears won this week. Yeah, they smacked the what Panthers. Yeah. Hey, they're they're defense. The defense is crazy. The Panthers. Yeah. Their run defense is not they're just a they're a run funnel. Their secondary is amazing, but their run defense is not good. No. But Caleb Williams has also got better every week. Yeah, he had a good he had his best game. Yeah. So that's promising for the Bears for all the Bears fans out there on this pot. And around the world, if you're listening around the world, you're a Bears fan. Uh, the Lions did not play this week by and the Steelers Steelers took a heartbreaking loss on Sunday. Football that spanned two days to the Cowboys. And Alex stayed up to watch all that. Allegedly. Um, so yeah, that's that's around the NFL. Um, let's see. Oh, there was something else I wanted to say and I can't remember. So let's get into, uh, let's get into our AB translation of the week guy. We got an AB tweeted the week and AB meme of the week. AB video of the week that we, uh, want to get into. That's a good question. I mean, there's just so many. He tweets so much. He's just on his election kick right now, but I'm not going to get into that because if you don't mean, you know how I feel about that. Um, let's see. Let's see. Let's see. Oh, wow. He's trying. He's trying to raise money for a hurricane victim. Wow. What a nice guy. Oh, what a nice guy. Yeah. He's raised $25. $25. Yeah, he just started it. Okay. Okay. Jesus. You'll like, like a second ago, minutes ago that he donated nothing that he started zero. He definitely has it. He can't donate money. He has it money. Oh, this is truly his bankruptcy. God. I don't know. We can, we can do that video guy that you sent to me. Just today. No. Like if you don't want to be like being interviewed. Oh, you said that to me. Oh, did I? Yeah. I sent you one today, though, is of love Bell. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Who love Bell, honorary CTESPN member posted a video on TikTok today. And I think he might be tripping tripping balls. He was just saying the word tangy about 117 times. Yeah. In this video, it was a, it was a strange, strange video. Very weird video. But yeah, we can do the video. You want to explain the AB video? He was on a, it was a TikTok video, correct? Yeah. And he was getting interviewed. Yeah. Not his own TikTok account. Someone else. Someone just like sports. TikTok. And when I tell you, it looked, or it sounded like English wasn't his second or, or wasn't his first language. It sounded like he didn't speak English. You're correct. You're correct. You're correct on that. The way he was fighting to think of words. I don't think he properly could comprehend the words that were coming from this person's mouth. That was asking him the questions. No. He was just nodding and smiling and saying, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then, yeah. They asked him, they asked him who his like favorite quarterback was or best quarterback. He's caught touchdown. That's from, and he was like, oh yeah, you know, you know, in the interview, he was like, Tom Brady, he's like, yeah, yeah, and yeah, yeah. He's like, been Ross Berger. He's like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Those guys. Yeah. He wasn't comprehending the question. We couldn't think of them. I don't know. It's just A.B. He was probably born drugs. Or just as a current mental state, to be honest. Yeah. It's not much different. All right. That tick tock that tick tock account is chat us up. So if you want to look up chat us up on tick tock, you can find the A B video interview. So it's quite depressing to see CTE live in action. And then make sure you look up left bells tick tock right after that to see further spread of CTE on social media live in an action. Okay. And guy right before we jump into the actual fantasy side of this podcast, we did not talk about Terry Francona. The new manager of the study. Because I don't think anyone else cares. I don't give a fuck. Fuck the brewers. They could suck a bag of dicks. Yeah. Because they lost to the mitts. Go mitts, baby. We love the mitts. It's a good hire. It's a good hire. I'm excited. But I'm back in. It's honestly all about the front office and what they do and how they how they go about the soft season because they need an algal bat. And if they don't get one, they're going to suck again. So it's day. There was a press another like press conference beating thing. A couple notes. We fired all of our hitting staff. Yeah. Derek Johnson is staying his pitching coach. Matt McLean said he's open to playing centerfield or the outfield in general. Yeah. I don't. I don't mind. He would be a good center fielder. But God, he's just simply the best defensive middle and fielder we have. I don't mind it. And oh shoot, what else did they say? Steer in India will be playing first and third this season. So it sounds like Candelario might be gone. Not sure. And Nick Kroll, I don't know. And Nick Kroll said that we need outfield help bad. Yes. I mean, that's just clear as day. Yeah. Well, he didn't do anything about it this season. So no. Anyways, I'm back in, baby. I'm excited. Yeah. And go back and look. Harrison kind of said, we aren't going to use being a small market as an excuse, which is just so refreshing to hear. Yeah. But it's, I mean, God damn manager SSA, your GM is publicly saying the opposite of it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Nick Kroll, piece of shit certified. Yeah, horrible. I don't know how he's going to fire. You should have fired. Yeah, he should. All right. Let's jump into fantasy, baby. Let's go over the week that was week five and all the crazy shit that happened. First, before we get in, I just want to give a little standings update as we currently stand through five weeks, we got a tie, three way tie for first place between Blaze, Matt, and Donald, Donald up there with some of the lowest points scored in the league, just being an absolute G like he always is with his sub 90 and sub 70 dubs. Actually not sub 70 sub 80. We can't be calm people to use for being lucky. Guy, if you do it consistently, if you do it consistently, like black magic on the league. Yeah. Well, and Blaze, and Blaze for never having an injury ever and picking up players and starting to tight ends that decided to touch it. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get it. Yeah. No, no, I'm going to give Donald a G tag dude. I mean, two years of this, not so coincidental. So he's doing something over there. He's cooking up something. I don't know what he's doing, but he's cooking something. It might be black magic. It is. All right. I'm in fourth place alone by myself at three and two. Then we got a huge tie at two and three between Alex, Zach, Jared, and another team. And then we have Pappas and Dolan, both at one and four, Dolan congrats on the dub this week, buddy. Huge. Huge win. I was so excited. I was so excited after Thursday for you. And then it looked real bad Sunday. It looked really scary Sunday. But then Nico Collins got hurt and CD Lam did nothing. And Aaron Jones got it. Hold it out last night. And yeah, I feel terrible for Pappas because he has so many points toward the season and he has one win. Pappas are listening. Fourth most. No, third most. So sad. It's crazy. Yeah, it is. It fell. So that's the current stands again. How that how that lines up to Blase's power rankings with what it should be in total. Blase is in first, which is true. Alex in second and he's down in fifth. Matt in third, Zach in fourth, Papp in fifth, Eric in sixth, I'm in seventh, Donald eighth, Jared ninth, Dolan 10th. So those are current updated standings. The records would be Blase would be 38 and seven. Alex 29 and 16, Matt 27 and 18, Zach, you're tied with Matt at 27 and 18. Papp and another manager would be 25 and 20. I'd be 20 and 25, Donald 16 and 29, Jared 13 and 32 and last place, bring up the rear five and 40 for Mr. Hunt. So I'd be 27 and 19. So it's 27 and 18 and I'm two and three. Yeah, I mean guy. It's brutal. What do I have to do? You got to start cooking up some black magic. You got to, you got to call Donald. Oh my God. You got to call Donald. This last night, but ever since I came on the pod, it's just been bad beat injury. Three years. Hot points against every week. I don't get breaks, man. I have to earn everything. I have to earn, earn every win. Literally everyone. All right. So let's get into these matchups. Let's get the worst one out of the way. Breeze lightning taking off bag of bones. Just disgusting. A horrible, horrible game. 66. I knew it was horrible for the moment kickoff started. 66.26 second lowest on the year from any team to 79.12. Just, but not the lowest winning total that we've ever had. Last year, we had some really, really, really terrible scores. Yeah, please be mean. Like a 60. Yeah. Yeah. So pretty crazy. Don't need to talk much about this game. My players suck ass. Yeah, I fear your runbacks are cooked. Yeah, they might be. I would panic. I would, I'm going to hold the panic button on Breeze Hall until if he throws up another dog next week, but it is full on panic for the line. I mean, full emergencies. I really, I'm not actually that concerned about it. Why? I eat it. Maybe if two of comes back, they went two ways in playing. Oh, God, it's, it's that offenses. I think he, I think he would have had a good week this week, actually, because Jalen, right? And really, most of both had really good weeks. And he got a concussion on like the third play of the game. I don't care. So no, I'm actually, I'm not that. There are lots more touchdowns though. You're not going to touch down trauma. Yeah, that will, that, that is the brutal part. But that's right. Cause I got Kenneth Bonewalker on my team and he scores double digit points with getting four carries. So five carries. I'm sorry, five carries. He's just a G. I'm loser of the week again though, because I bench DJ more and I would have won the game if I had started him. So yeah, just Ls, Ls. Yeah. And you're 300, you're 300 on don't win wicks. Huge L because that guy cannot catch a pass to save his life. If his family was held ransom, and he had to catch five out of 10 passes to save them, they would die. Yeah. So that's on tape. Say with a Mark Cooper, dude, he's got a lot of drops this year. That whole brown for Stephen core, just got the drops. He had drops a week one and two, but he, he's only had one draw. He only had one drop this week. It's just, he gets uncatchable targets from that. He who shall not be named from Sean Watson. Okay. I saw something where they're basically confirmed like he's going to get traded. Yeah, I mean, he has to do their seasons over. Yeah. Yeah. So up for your, I'm sure you're a part of that. I'm excited about that soon. Just get him on a competent team, please. Yes. And I'll be cooking for Donald. For Donald though, uh, Marvin Harrison guy. Give me the temperature. What's, what's the panic alarm level at for Marvel? Because he's had one good week. No, that's too easy. He's five for 45, five for 64 is bailed out by touchdowns. Otherwise, those are sub seven point weeks. I mean, yeah, it's uh, he's a rookie. That was a good defense. Michael Wilson is getting all the work. Okay. He had more targets this week, but yeah, they just need to do a better job of getting in the ball, honestly. So you're not worried about him? Uh, I would be, I wouldn't be that concerned. No. Okay. I think, what about the worst case scenario is he's like a 20th receiver this year. Yeah, that's terrible for your drafting, though. It's not, I'm not that concerned, but I am concerned with you. You're concerned with Debo. I just don't think he's that good. Well, Brock doesn't throw to him a lot. He likes kiddle and, uh, Brandai, you, Brandai, you finally had a breakout book. Then bower, bowers, golly. He's the whole team. You expect us out of bowers? No, not this early. No, uh, but he is the whole team now and he looks great. He looks great. This was just a matchup between two teams with good tight ends, me and Donald. That's all this game was. George kiddle, Brock Bowers. All right. Anything else you want to talk about in this matchup? Are you there? Oh, no. Did we, yes. Sorry. Oh, no. He's here. I'm back. Yeah. My audio call for a second, but we're good. Oh, geez. Okay. No, um, I'll, I'll mention Chase Brown with bench. I think he will, uh, continue to be pretty good. I think he's definitely flex flex option. Good shout. Good shout. Yeah. He's getting more, more work. Zach Moss got hurt in the game. We'll see if he, uh, it's going to miss any time or be limited at all, but Chase Brown's ramping up a little bit more. So, yeah. That's big. I mean, he's giving goal line touches too. Mm hmm. He is. He is. All right. Let's go to from the lowest scoring to the highest scoring of the week. And that would be the albino polar bears taken on big booty butler. 142.76 to 113.14. Yeah. The second highest scoring of the week guy and you took the L. Yeah. Horror will be really, really bad beat. And it would happen to me. This is the second time. There's been two one forties this year and they both end on me. Cool. Yeah. That kind of sucks. That kind of sucks. Yeah. Jamal Chase had a crazy, crazy week. Yeah. Mike Evans had a great Thursday night game. Brian Thomas Jr. is crazy good. Really good. On a really, really terrible Jags team. And the two guys, the two running backs for the albino polar bears that we shit on all the time, Jimante Williams and DeAndre Swift are scoring points illogically. Somehow. Yeah. Some way. Scoring. And Matt's whole season looks different now because of it. So we'll see if it continues. Yeah. I don't think it can. We'll see. I'm still not coughing that DeAndre Swift can be good. But guy, give me your panic rating on Dalton Kincaid. Hi. And likewise, Josh Allen on your own team. I think it's concerned. I think it's I think it's concerning now. I think it's a seven out of 10 panic. On both. Oh, I would say seven out of 10 on Kincaid. I would say a four on Josh Allen. Okay. They just look not good. Oh, yeah. Nine of three. For Josh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that was pretty much all it was nine and 27 until he got knocked out. And then he got knocked out unconscious on the ground, came back in through three terrible passes in a row and proceeded to lose the game for the bills. Yeah. Yeah. Not great. Josh Jacobs finally got to touch down for you. Yeah. Congratulations. T. Hagan's got to. Yeah, I had a good week. Yeah. It was a good week. Yeah. Look at my bench, though, on my bench. Look how sad the bench looks. It's a real sad bench, Shakir, Ingram, and McCaffrey, and Rushy Rice. Yeah. And I had some your white until I dropped him Sunday morning. Tyrone Tracy looked pretty good. 129 yards on the ground. Maybe I don't be the starter. I don't think this I don't we talked about this. I didn't really talk about okay. But the Seahawks had seven rushing attempts as a team for the entire game. Just never had the ball. I guess. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe. I don't watch the game, but I don't know. It's it's it's sadness. It's sadness over here, guy. Yeah. Appreciate the choir. What do I need to do? You need to sacrifice something or just get some of the black magic spells from Donald. I told you this last night I don't have anything to sack. But you got to find something. You got to find something. You got to do whatever must be done if you're for truly in for this. I'll ask you one more question. What are your what are your thoughts on Rico Dowell's outlook? Oh, I think he's going to get all the work in in Dallas now or at least he should because Zeke sucks. He does. I saw a meme about that fat boy touch or fat boy interception last night. They said this dude's potentially faster than Zeke and Augie. Yes. That dude that dude is the brother of Taylor Swift's like one of her main backup dancers. Oh, yeah, his brother. He used to actually play for the Chiefs and now he's on the Saints. And yeah, he had that interception last night. Really, really funny. Actually, a really good play. Yeah, it was awesome. And he looked freaking fast. It's crazy. He's fast. He's going for he's definitely faster than Zeke. He's you generally might be faster. Nashi, which is just crazy. But my outlook on Rico, I think he's probably rest this season. He's probably a top 20. Yeah, probably a top 20 back rest of the season. Yeah, yeah, I think he's flex consideration. Flex worthy. Desperate for especially. Yeah, if I need an RV to desperate. Yeah. Yeah, because you really don't have he is your only backup while I guess Algier. But just yeah, it's just Rico. Yeah. Tyrone Tracy. Yeah. Well, yeah, you've stumbled in Tyrone Tracy now. Maybe he'll get some more work. Just a season. I hunted the mirror white the mirror white experiments over. That guy's so funny. He had 17 attempts this week for 50 yards. He was hurt. He didn't play. Oh, he didn't play this week. Yeah, he didn't play. Okay. Last week, 17 attempts. Yeah, 17 for 50. 10 for 30. It's crazy, man. That's crazy. He's quite. He's quite. I mean, I know the the Raiders don't have to go to a line, but geez, that's really bad. Yeah. All right. Let's move over to a game that ended last night in heartbreak for Alex 99.34 to 105 flat. And it was all because Alvin Khmera. Yeah. Alvin Khmera couldn't get it done on his lowest points of the season. He gets the Saints. Yeah, they look really good. No, the ball. Couldn't hold the ball. The Chiefs, no matter how the worse the Chiefs get, the more unstoppable they become. Yeah. It's kind of crazy. They went on the back of their defense. It ain't it ain't Pat Mahomes, man. It ain't fatty. No, it ain't. It ain't. It is not Patrick. No, it is absolutely not Patrick. Good week for Patrick. He did not injure one of his players. That's when I was that is a good thing. Yeah. Okay. This is definitely a big pivot right here, but it's related the fines that the NFL has been handing out for ridiculous, like blocks and hits. I was telling you last night, this man should have been fine for that hit on Rossi, right? Can't find him for his own team. Dude, the tackle though. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe he was. Maybe he was two inches to the right, and he hits the Chargers player. Does he get fine? I don't know. I mean, they don't like broadcast these things. I don't know how people find this out. Like, you know, so maybe he did get fine. Yeah. In fact, who did this? Gross should have been fine. All right. Back to this matchup. Garrett Wilson had 22 targets. Yeah. It was the London game. Is that all they threw too? Basically, no, Alan Lazard had a touchdown. He only caught 13 to 22. Yeah. Because all the other receptions went to the Vikings. Yeah. From Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Just shit. Well, I mean, you like the kids. Yeah, great usage. The third encourage by the usage. Yeah, I did say, Aaron Rodgers didn't say last week that he needs to get Garrett Wilson way more involved. And they definitely did that this week. I want to give a shout out to Jacobi Myers on the bench on wide receiver one in Vegas now. Put up 10 points. What do you think he's probably playing? Yeah. Would have helped Alex. But no. Remindre Stevenson with a touchdown. Alan Lazard with a crap touchdown. Undeserving win, I have to say. Yeah. That's not hurt. Alex, you've got to stop playing nausea errors, man. I mean, just quit it. I don't know why. I don't know why you keep doing it to yourself. Because the man, I sent this to you and Alex the other yesterday. How many touches did he have? Like 96 touches without a touchdown. Oh, yeah. 94 touches without a touchdown. The most of any players before the season. Yes. Yes. It's gay. Well, it's got to come. It's got to come soon. Alex keeps starting nausea. No, I mean, okay. Keep him up there. But yeah. Top, top week has tough week. All right. Then we got a pie cash shopper. Six feet of rope. Jared, great team name change. Love it. Taking on Gritty Gritty, Bang Bang and Blaze 104.16 to 111.62. Blaze finding a way to win without three of his best players, four of his best players you could even say. Chris O'Lava. And a Chris O'Lava, a four target to catch 10 yard night. Dude, this man, everything he touches and fantasy just turns the gold. Tuck your craft. I don't know how he does it. Four for 88, two touchdowns, 22.8 points off the waiver wire starting two tight ends this week for Blaze. And he gets a victory on the back of 33.42 from Lamar Jackson. I mean, you saw that comment against. And he started a cam anchors who decided to score a touchdown this week. And Rashad White, who despite a 60 yard run, still ended with fewer yards per carry than Bucky Irving, who also fumbled the ball and lost the game for the, for the Buccaneers this Thursday. It was hard white, man. Yeah, he's just terrible. He's just really, really bad. Yeah, he is. He's really bad. So Josh Downs is, Josh Downs is not bad. Josh Downs is a great player and is only a fantasy relevant with Joe Flacco on the field. Correct, correct. But that time they've been coming. Yeah, if that's still the case, you pound that you pound that start for Josh Downs. I love that. I love that play. Mr. Miller, you know, if you wouldn't have traded Drake London this week, you would have won this game and that's pretty funny in my eyes. Bijon guy, who would you rather have a rest of season? Bijon or Breeze? Right now, Bijon is RB 21 and Breeze is RB 16. Yeah, Bijon. Bijon. Better offense. Yeah. In a dome. Yeah, wouldn't blame you. Wouldn't blame you. Yeah, he, I don't, it's so weird because Bijon's so good. I, he just can't score. 36 points for the Falcons. Oh, let me go check and see what kind of monstrous game Bijon had. Oh, nine points, just like last week, seven for 28 last week. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty gross. It's a bad time to draft a running back in the first round this year. I didn't even realize Jared finally listened to us and benched Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, he did. Geno Smith had a, despite the Falcons, or the Falcons, the Seahawks losing. Had a pretty good day. Yeah. He had 72 rushing yards. Oh, my God. Jesus. I actually did see that play where he was scrambling and Jackson Smith and Jigba did a great job selling the play, selling the throw, getting a huge space for, for Geno to run on to. It's pretty awesome. Brandon, I, you had a huge week this week. So that was a good part of the trade for Jared seeing that payoff finally. After a Ux preseason is now over after the first four weeks of the season. Uh, guy at Travis ETN panic meter. 10. 10 out of 10. It's been a 10. Yeah. That's week two. Tank Bigs be looked great. I'm not even kidding. Tank Bigs be looked really good. Yeah. He's probably a little sneak peek on the tank Bigs be sweepstakes for this week on the waiver wire. I don't know. Is Jared going to go in on it? And Jared doesn't get let, doesn't like to get backups for his own team, but tank Bigs be the better play. Yeah. He's my, Travis ETN might be the backup to the tank Bigs be going forward. It's pretty scary. It's pretty scary stuff. Uh, guy, give me your George Pickens panic meter. He's just not any good. I mean, there's no, there's no panic meter. He's just bad. That's awesome guy. Have I not said this for two to three? No. Yeah. You have. Yeah. You have. It's awesome. He sucks. He's a really good contested ball catcher, but God, this man can't run any routes. If you ask him to run a, a route tree, he can run too. That's awesome. He can run straight lines and slants. Uh, Travis Kelsey had a good week this week guy. Any coincidence because Rashi's literally the only reason because Rashi Rice was fallen into a 300, like by a 300 pound man. But he did not hear his ACL. You better hope Patrick doesn't listen to this podcast. It's gonna be soon. You know, man, dude, I don't care. He'll sue me. Uh, man. All right. Anything else you want to cover on this, uh, this matchup? No. I mean, Jared, if you can't be, be blazed this week, I mean, guys. Yeah. All right. And the game of the week, the man who just wants to spin the wheel coming out with his first victory of the season, scoring over a hundred points, 102.08 to Pappas and CDs, teeties, 97.34. Helped in large part by Aaron Jones, leaving the game early for the Vikings and Nico Collins, uh, catching a bomb touchdown and immediately leaving the game in the first half. Uh, but for Dolan, I mean, Alexander Madison continues to be hot garbage, but scoring fantasy points. Kareba Hunt somehow might actually be a good play. And, uh, Drake London looking like a good trade candidate, not candidate, good trade piece. You look good. I mean, the, the, the Falcons just look good. Darnell Mooney on the bench at 27 as well. They supported two receivers. I mean, they're not going to do that every week, obviously, but Dolan also has, uh, Brian Robinson coming over to his side. Uh, and the second part of that trade that they executed last week processing this week. Yeah. I legitimately thought Kareem Hunt was going to be a throw in, but he's legitimately getting all the work. Is that a dog? Yeah. I'm watching Natalie. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Okay. It makes sense. Uh, Dolan, I'd like to apologize for telling you you have to start Jerry Judy. Yeah, I'm just gonna just gonna take, yeah, I'll just take that one. We'll take that one for you. Uh, he actually dropped a wide, literally wide open touchdown in the end zone. Yeah, he's not very good. So. But congrats. Congrats. Hopefully it can give you some momentum. It's a big dude. Yeah. The starting on five was not in the cards. Not accepting to be. Not finish last. Like he had, this is basically almost win. And he's keeping, keeping PAP is down there with him with that win. So it's a big time. Guy, give me your, give me your panic meter on PAP is his team just because of the depth. And with Nico Collins being weak. I mean, we're gonna, yeah, if we're gonna see, if we're gonna see Nico Collins out and if we're gonna, I don't, I don't even, what did Aaron Jones happen? Uh, hit. Oh God. Week to week. So he's definitely missing this week. Oh God. Yeah. This is scary. Scary. This guy, Christian Kirk on the bench. And he's got Chuba. He can throw up in there. The RB. So, but he's, he's begging, he's begging for flex plays. Yeah. He's begging for a flex. Yeah. And really start starters, to be honest. Like panic. I would give it like a six. Because he's one and four. And two of his top three best players are, are considered a week to week and are definitely not going to be playing this week. Yeah. So, and CD lamb has not been great. No, he is not. But I expect him to bounce back. He's gonna, he, you know how he's gonna bitch so much to deck all week. Yeah. He's gonna have to. But look, I mean, I just don't know why you're not, you're not throwing every side. I don't know either. With the amount of money he just made. Yeah. But Kyle got Kyle. Kyle Kyle pits. Oh my God. 12 for the depths of despair. Yeah. I mean, the first separator in football to go seven of eight for 88. Yeah. He was last. In separation, in separation score until this. Wow. Okay. Incredible turnaround for Kyle Pitts. Yeah. Is that's a, is that sustainable? Uh, no, it's not sustainable. Yeah. Pukka for 500 yards. It's stable. I keep forgetting Pukka is down here on his IR. They say at least week eight for Pukka. And by that time, it's, it's, hold on to your pants time for Pappas if he hasn't won more games by that point. But why is he holding, why is he holding Justin Herbert down here? He was the current quarterback. 30. It's a good question. I don't know. Andy is, Andy is an open bench spot. Please pick him up and drop Justin Herbert. It's just like, it probably drops the, uh, it's so bad because you haven't even looked at the way or why. Uh, it's good. Uh, it's really funny. Yeah. All right. Uh, guy, give me, it lose for the week. And it's me. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, give me winner of the week. Back to back. Yes, it is. It's pretty. It's a big, big dolan, big dolan hunt winner of the week, baby. It's been the wheel. Yeah. Seriously. I hope you party player. I hope you pop some bottles last night. Don't because that was incredible. You probably should have bought a lottery ticket. Really honestly, maybe. Honestly, maybe. Yeah. All right. Uh, AB award winner of the week guy. Hm. In my personal opinion, I would probably give it to Aaron Rodgers. Oh, for getting solid fire. Yeah. You could be AB like every week because he's just such a flaming douche. Yeah. Very true. And I'm sad. Dude, I sent you this tweet earlier this, this week about Aaron Rodgers. What did it say? Oh, I'm going to, uh, take drugs and be bad at my job. I'm going to be Aaron Rodgers this week. And then it was like, in parentheses, take due drugs, be terrible at my job. Yes. Yes. This week, I'm going to be Aaron Rodgers. Pretty. Very, very accurate. Yeah. Amazing. That's a Romeo Dobbs who just like. Oh, yeah. Romeo Dobbs decided to boycott the team. He got themselves a strategy. Hilarious, hilarious. Oh, God. All right. Let's get into week six. Let's get into week six. Week six matchups. We got Blaze taking on Breeze Lightning in myself. Very scary. Uh, right now the line is Blaze by nine. Justin Jefferson is on by this week, not that that matters at all for me. No, it matters. Guy. Every little, every little, uh, advantage you need. I guess it's true. He probably is going to get Malik neighbors back against a how they're playing the bagels. Oh, God. I football. The league is going for 30. Yeah, it could be a 30 burger. That's scary. Oh, island game for Malik neighbors against the Morgan. The commanders could be pretty deadly too. Oh, God. Terrifying, terrifying results. Yeah, I got to say here. Guy. I'm giving you a very small chance this week. Yeah, I get myself about a 11% chance of winning. Yeah, it's a good number. I'll take Blaze to cover. I'll take Blaze to cover as well. All right. Match up two. We got Pappas taking on Jared Miller. Right now, Jared Miller with no tight end because the Chiefs are on by. God, there ain't any tight ends. Pappas playing Taji Spears, Christian Kirk in his two flex positions. Oh, we've got, we've got Lion Pappas by four. Dude, I'm taking Jared. Yeah, I'm taking Jared as well. I'm taking Jared's great money line. Yeah, not much. That's a stinky. That's, that's a smelly squad. That Pappas is roll now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's not great. It's not great at all. I mean, Jared's not rolling out a great squad, but oh, he started one day on ETN and Jerome Ford. He should not be playing. He said, he's pretty bad. I'm going to take, I'm going to take Miller in this game though. Yeah, I absolutely would be taking Miller. Even though we don't want him to win, but we don't. We don't. We want to see Pappas get it up. Do you know against, against San Frans? Do you play him or does he pick up someone else? No, I played, you know. Yeah, yeah. The San Frans D has not been that locked down this year and the Seahawks offense is pretty good this year. Their defense is not, but the offense is clicking. They're playing shootouts. Yeah. All right. Well, we got Dolan coming fresh, coming fresh off his win. Take it on Alex. Which is just complete horseshit that Alex gets to play Dolan twice in like the first five weeks. Like what? First six, six of the season. Thank you, ESPN. The line right now. There's actually, there's actually not a chance that Alex scores 118 points. Line coming in right now with full teams is Alex by 22. Oh, yeah. Alex is projected 118 to Dolan's 97. Is Dolan going to, oh, you know what would be great is Dolan should pick up Kirk Cousins and have a little triple, a little triple, and then a trip, Falcon action. Good Lord. Spearhead that passing attack. Yeah. Wow, that would be incredible. That would be absolutely incredible. I do starting Alexander Madison. Dolan, please don't do that. I'm gonna, I'm gonna say something crazy. I'm picking Dolan in this matchup. Oh my God. Alex finally benched Naji. Thank Christ. I'm taking Dolan, baby. Give it to me. Nah. I'm taking Dolan to cover, but Alex is going to win. That's a, that's so cheap guy. 22 point cover. That's insane. Oh, yeah, it's an insane line. That's why I'm picking Dolan to cover. It's free money, but I mean guy, are you changing a pick if Anthony Richardson plays? Uh, yeah, probably. Because Pittman for Dolan. Yeah, probably. All right. We got Donald, bag of bones, Donald. I like the team name change. Um, and I like the team logo change, the skull cheese head taking on the albino polar bears who are hot right now. Really black magic versus hotness. It's kind of big by big, big by and got a big by for Mr. Kyron Williams, who AKA touchdown machine literally just falls in every week. Doesn't matter. Uh, but full teams in line right now is Dolan. I mean, sorry, Donald by nine, nine points. I don't know if JT plays this week. So currently he's projected for 16 and a half, which DeAndre Swift had projected for 15 and a half. I just hate that man so much. Sad in London. That's all enough for one. That is a London game. Yeah, there are three straight London games, I believe. Come on. It's bears jacks this week. Dude, what? Yeah. Don't know. 15 and a half from DeAndre. So he got this week guy. Oh, God. I mean, it really just depends on what JT does. If JT plays, I think I like Donald. But if he doesn't, I would be taking the polar bears. Yeah, I'm taking the polar bears here as I don't think JT's playing up the polar bears for this week. All right. Last matchup of the week guy, you can get some sweet, sweet revenge and shit talking here. You're currently favored by one. So yeah, a true a true pick him. Yeah, it's a true pick. And dude, my my roster is basically up in the air. I gotta say every single player just can. I gotta say, I don't know if Josh I don't please this week, dude. Yeah, he might not. He's not questionable. But dude, the he for sure has a concussion and they're just not saying it. They has to. He has to. We'll see. I swear he has to. He might not play. Other than that. Yeah, I don't know. Devonta Smith, they said. Does AJ Brown come back this week? I don't know. Who knows? Evan Ingram. Is he back? Is Evan Ingram back in London? Yeah. He'll play in London. Yeah. He'll show out London and then he'll stop. He'll get referred again and not play back. All right. I'll take me. I'll take you as well. I will take you as well. And that's the last matchup for the week. Guy, give me your quick hits. We're at an hour and four minutes. I was trying fast to get us through here. Give me your quick hits for the waivers. Cubies. Who do you like here? Yeah. I mean, you need to keep me. This could be you. On time Kirk. This could be you. I mean, that's not prime time. It's a 325 game. Yeah, but it doesn't matter. You just call it Kirk prime time all the time. Okay. Pick him up against Carolina. Daniel Jones against Cincinnati. Both playable. What about bow nicks? No. Okay. He's horrible. So is Aaron Rodgers. Jared Goff against Dallas is maybe the next best play. All right. Give me your running back. Top five. Top five. Tank figs be one. Joey Oma Glaughlin had a touchdown if I remember correctly. He did. I don't know. These are running back. There aren't five. I don't think I can come up with five. There's not five here. Yeah, there's not five here to me. I mean, if you want to smear white against Pittsburgh, if you want to get someone who gets a lot of carries and not many yards, he's probably someone you could play. That is your guy if you want that. I wouldn't recommend. He's current running back 61. So if you want that. Yeah, I think there's about one one decent running back. All right. Give me a letter. Maybe you take Jalen Warren and Stashin. All right. Give me your wide receiver plays. Uh, Jalen Tolbert is decent pickup. Clear receiver one. Yep. I think, uh, there's actually some solid receivers off like guys that you could pick up and hope to get something from Perflex one week. I mean, Mike Wilson looked good. I think he's going to be streaky though. Just in, just in, Derek Carr expected to miss multiple games with an oblique injury. Wow. Okay. That just... Rashid she heed stock. Shatters my Rashid she heed. Oh my God. For so long, they stock down. If it could, if it could be. Oh God. No, I might have to get, I might have to be on Jalen Tolbert. Guy, we're almost done with the pod. We're almost done with the pod. Guy, the pain. Please make it stop. Triple your pain and give it to Harrison Booker. God. Yeah. There's, yeah. There's other options. Tyler Locken, maybe. Ray real loud. These are all just streaky guys. Yeah. Yeah. They're all, I mean, they're all dark. There's, there's some elevated dark throws. Again, I, yeah. I think Michael Wilson, I think Lockett Tolbert, elevated dark throws. Trey Tucker's a decent, decent shout with Nick Devontay. Alec Pierce, true dark throw. Or is he, he's down here. I think he scores points. Yeah. He's never projected much points, but God, he's scoring. Yeah, he does score. Jordan Whittington. It's no targets. He catches like bombs. Yeah, which won't change with they are. So no, they're probably just slightly less. Jordan Whittington is down here. They don't buy this week, but he had a decent week. Yeah. I thought about picking him up last week. Didn't give me your tight ends. Give me, give me a couple of tight ends. They're so okay, tight ends. Yeah. I mean, and Joe, who's coming back, maybe. I mean, I know. No, no, he, he got hurt. He came back this week, and he got, yeah, he hurt. He had an ankle injury, which kept him out this season. He came back his first game last week, and then he suffered a big injury, so. So is he out? Yeah, he's out. Okay. Poor guy. Right. I mean, I think you want to play with he who's shot up, he named anyways, but no. Zach Hertz is always pretty, like, consistent. Yeah, Mr. just need someone. Seven points. Yeah. I don't, I just, I don't know. I don't know. I don't really like Lee. Tyler Cotton, next guy. Dalton Schultz, Eric Hall, Mike is sicky. Take your pick. When I played a hunter, Henry a long time ago. Yeah, that was pretty funny. Hunter Henry's got two games every year in a. How do you go from 12 targets like basically not involved? Yeah, just the Patriots. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that same, like Mike is sicky. They were in that cheese game. He got so many targets, and then just, yeah, kind of nothing. Yeah. They've been using Eric Hall more. That's why. Yes. Yes, indeed. Who's very good for rookie? I like him. Yes, he is. He is. All right, guy. That's us for the week. Yeah. Did you just hear Natalie? Yeah, I did. Hack up a lot. That's hilarious. Hey, guy, give me, give me a tank bigsby fab prediction real quick because I think he'll probably be the number one pickup. Yeah, how many people desperate? Very desperate boys this week. I mean, I'm sure you will probably try to go for him. Yes, I will. I think he's a high close close to 200. Yeah, that's probably what I would say, too. All right. That's us then, guy. Thanks for joining me. Pretty, pretty quick pod for our standard. I know I liked it. It was pretty nice. Yeah, it was pretty nice. All righty, boys. Enjoy your weeks. Enjoy Thursday in that football. And I hope you all lose. Goodbye. Bye-bye. [Music]
