Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros.
spk_0
This is Out of Bounds.
spk_0
It's me, Joey P. Joe P. Zepia with me, of course,
spk_0
is the Welsh Scott Bogman is out this week.
spk_0
He's on a buy, which is a good thing for him.
spk_0
He's just kind of relaxed.
spk_0
Do we have a live clip right now,
spk_0
Scott Bogman on his buy?
spk_0
Oh, there it is.
spk_0
There's Scott Bogman enjoying the buy week.
spk_0
There you go.
spk_0
Just like the Pittsburgh Steelers were watching
spk_0
the Cincinnati Bengals, the Browns.
spk_0
And of course, the Ravens lose again.
spk_0
Crazy times in the league Welsh
spk_0
because we have no more undefeated teams.
spk_0
This is tied for the second quickest
spk_0
in NFL history.
spk_0
2005, I believe was the last time this happened.
spk_0
By the time we got to this week in the NFL,
spk_0
no undefeated teams.
spk_0
We have one winless team, the Jets.
spk_0
And a lot of parity in the league going on.
spk_0
And so how is that treating you?
spk_0
How you liking the parity?
spk_0
Where everybody's going to be, I don't know,
spk_0
three and three after the next week.
spk_0
I'm pretty much here for parity.
spk_0
I like, I like a little bit of a mix.
spk_0
I don't like anybody taking it over.
spk_0
It's ruining a lot of gambling.
spk_0
There's some other stuff that's ruining a lot of gambling as well.
spk_0
But I'm here for it.
spk_0
And I like that live picture of Bogman
spk_0
on some Bogawaska out there.
spk_0
So he's a Bogawaska hit him hard.
spk_0
By the way, you 100% as we're going to start the show,

spk_0
It's pretty sick right there.
spk_0
Even if it is a dolphin jersey and speaking of sick, the dolphins are sick.
spk_0
Not in a good way though.
spk_0
Not in a good way.
spk_0
However, my Patriots have a franchise quarterback.
spk_0
Well, I'm very excited about that.
spk_0
I watched Drake may become a man on prime times Sunday night football.
spk_0
It was great to watch.
spk_0
Devon digs back to back 100 yard games.
spk_0
I'm feeling pretty good about the future of the Patriots.
spk_0
We got a coach.
spk_0
We have got a quarterback and your San Francisco 49ers have a quarterback controversy.
spk_0
You don't think so.
spk_0
I do.
spk_0
Matt Jones is one of the guys leading the leagues in passing and he hasn't even played every
spk_0
single day.
spk_0
How do you go back to Brock Purdy?
spk_0
You're one of the smarter people that I know and you usually say a lot of smart things.
spk_0
One of the dumbest things that you said in a long time is that anybody thinks there's
spk_0
a controversy that Matt just, I'm trying to remember who it was.
spk_0
It might have been Erickson.
spk_0
Actually, this was the dumbest thing I've heard.
spk_0
I affectionately say stupid.
spk_0
Somebody said they didn't think the Niners wanted Matt Jones to go all out because they
spk_0
didn't want him to start a quarterback controversy.
spk_0
This is the first time.
spk_0
That's a stupid statement.
spk_0
That's that's a stupid.
spk_0
This is stupid.
spk_0
There is no quarterback controversy.
spk_0
Matt Jones is a great backup.
spk_0
Good teams get back.
spk_0
If Brock Purdy's got the quarter of a billion dollars when he's healthy, he's better.
spk_0
He's the quarterback.
spk_0
But guess what?
spk_0
The Niners are not absolutely done when Matt Jones is in a quarterback because they're all
spk_0
hurt.
spk_0
Wanda is still sucking in all the powers of all the players.
spk_0
So Christian McCaffric can stay healthy.
spk_0
There's no controversy.
spk_0
You're all right.
spk_0
No controversy.
spk_0
Well, it says, all right, let's open things up here for the questions over on the Twitch
spk_0
here.
spk_0
Let's see.
spk_0
Where should we start with today?
spk_0
And remember, no start sick questions.
spk_0
I just want to say that because start sick questions again for tonight.
spk_0
This is going to air tomorrow.
spk_0
Nobody wants to watch that.
spk_0
Let's go with Worth Lake.
spk_0
Seems like a lovely place to vacation in the summertime.
spk_0
Safe to drop DeMarcato and Christian Kirk and Coleman.
spk_0
It's safe to drop these guys.
spk_0
I think it depends on your league boy.
spk_0
DeMarcato, if only somebody this year had already dropped a ball before the end zone
spk_0
to remind everybody, hey, make sure you're finished to play.
spk_0
If only that had happened this year already, Welsh.
spk_0
But how about these guys?
spk_0
DeMarcato, Kirk, Coleman, do you want to drop these guys right now?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I mean, this is another, this is another is getting ahead of the show sheet.
spk_0
My moment for this week, and since we're doing it, because I'm not going to just redo
spk_0
it later, DeMarcato is one of the Dumber players I've seen in the long time.
spk_0
I feel bad.
spk_0
I feel bad, like as a human being for what happened, but it's beyond repair of like actually
spk_0
caring, like you cost your team the win.
spk_0
Another player had done it the week before.
spk_0
There's nothing dumber than that.
spk_0
He should be cut.
spk_0
And there's, I guess there's been some controversy today.
spk_0
I think a local radio is going to have on the coach, like kind of shoved him and got
spk_0
pissed and stuff.
spk_0
And DeMarcato is very apologetic.
spk_0
There's no chance.
spk_0
I'm saying all this is there's no chance he should be involved in this offense moving
spk_0
forward.
spk_0
Michael Carter was great.
spk_0
They like BAM night.
spk_0
I think they should cut DeMarcato.
spk_0
They won't.
spk_0
He'll probably kind of sit in the wings.
spk_0
I don't think you have any real big need for DeMarcato.
spk_0
If there's nothing to cut for, I don't make those moves.
spk_0
I know a lot of you guys out there.
spk_0
You're like, I'll throw an out of it.
spk_0
I just did a million waiver wires this show shows today.
spk_0
Let's, would you cut?
spk_0
Should pick up Tory Horton for Keon Coleman.
spk_0
Oh, for, oh, and you're going to Coleman?
spk_0
No.
spk_0
I'm, I'm Keon Coleman had an almost 30% first read share.
spk_0
Even the time.
spk_0
I wouldn't get the Coleman.
spk_0
Coleman is the non-cuttable player there.
spk_0
Kirk, you can go.
spk_0
Higgins had more usage.
spk_0
No, it's getting usage.
spk_0
I don't think you have to hold on to Kirk if there's something nice out there.
spk_0
I would cut Kirk.
spk_0
If you needed a one week push for a guy like Hendrick Morn this week, I would do that.
spk_0
But I also think like, I just, I don't see DeMarcato getting a run in this offense.
spk_0
It was all Michael Carter.
spk_0
They had some BAM night and DeMarcato literally cost this team the game.
spk_0
Not even like jokingly figuratively, like he literally cost this team the game.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Pancake.
spk_0
I see your baseball question and I love you for it.
spk_0
Maybe at the end of the show we'll try to sneak it in there.
spk_0
Let's go to a cheer question.
spk_0
It's cheer.
spk_0
Let's cheer.
spk_0
Maybe let's go.
spk_0
Here's one from a Jacks Bay.
spk_0
I don't know how you say that.
spk_0
What do you think would be fair one of these running backs at Trey for Justin Jefferson
spk_0
and a half PPR?
spk_0
Maybe a guy by high option and a by low option.
spk_0
I compare with a lower end replacement wide receiver.
spk_0
So let's talk about Justin Jefferson's trade value because I think that is the question
spk_0
here.
spk_0
Justin Jefferson still, no matter who's playing quarterback, gets open better than anybody
spk_0
else in the league.
spk_0
Justin Jefferson is still lead.
spk_0
Justin Jefferson put up numbers with Kirk Cousins with Josh Johnson.
spk_0
He's put up numbers with JJ McCarthy with Carson Wentz.
spk_0
I'm not looking to certainly trade Justin Jefferson.
spk_0
Let's talk about trade value for Justin Jefferson just in a vacuum here because I think
spk_0
people are going to be looking around on it and people are wondering, hey, when JJ McCarthy
spk_0
comes back, does he take a hit?
spk_0
I say no, but let's put this out here for you.
spk_0
Running backs are dropping like flies.
spk_0
We're trying to get a running back here.
spk_0
Would you take Quinshaw and Judkins and Drake London for Justin Jefferson?
spk_0
Is that a fair trade or is that too much on one side?
spk_0
It's too much on the Judkins London side.
spk_0
I do that in a heart.
spk_0
Let's go a notch below then.
spk_0
How about let's stay with Judkins and let's say Debo Samuel.
spk_0
That's not enough, right?
spk_0
I don't love that.
spk_0
Debo absolutely dominated this week because he was the number one option.
spk_0
When he's the number one, he gets a lot of those shares.
spk_0
I don't know if they said this.
spk_0
If you're like 0 and 4 or whatever, I guess you'd be 1 and 5 now.
spk_0
If you're like one of those, I think you can make this for more depth.
spk_0
I think you could do that.
spk_0
Judkins is an RB one.
spk_0
He's RB one adjacent.
spk_0
Like if he's not an RB one, I don't know if he looks good.
spk_0
I know it was early for you on the Westie coast side.
spk_0
Yeah, I watch the second half.
spk_0
Not waking up and circling the morning.
spk_0
He looked great.
spk_0
Of course, you know, it's funny because I made this comment on another show earlier today
spk_0
and it feels like the Browns are slowly, quietly, silently kind of remaking themselves
spk_0
into a much more athletic and interesting team.
spk_0
Like you have Quinshaw and Judkins and Fadden and Isaiah Bonds running all over the place.
spk_0
And like, oh, maybe the Browns are kind of on to something here.
spk_0
Maybe they're starting to turn things around and now they pivot to Dylan Gabriel.
spk_0
And you know, it wasn't all bad with Dylan Gabriel.
spk_0
There were some good moments there from him, certainly more athletic moments.
spk_0
They're going to see from Joe Flacco at the stage of his life.
spk_0
But I think I think what you're looking forward to looking for a Judkins level running
spk_0
back and a wide receiver in that Devonte Adams ish kind of realm.
spk_0
That's what it's got to be.
spk_0
But again, I'm not looking to move off.
spk_0
I just don't even get that.
spk_0
But I think I agree.
spk_0
I'm not trying to get off of Jefferson.
spk_0
If you're going on the high end, you still have to get something back, I think, because
spk_0
I'm not even sure if like the, you know, I mean, I mean, I'm Aaron Hampton would have
spk_0
to be a good one, but he got banged up.
spk_0
You're not going to get Jonathan Taylor.
spk_0
So it's like the borderline there is like a cook or breeze, but you probably just have
spk_0
to settle lower.
spk_0
So I think the bar for the other, you know, if you get really get Kim Scatibou running
spk_0
back, the bar for the wide receiver has to be up.
spk_0
I think it's just really tough.
spk_0
I wouldn't be selling Justin Jefferson like he's being sold at a low.
spk_0
I think that's the most important thing.
spk_0
Here's one from it's Mason panic meter on Derek Henry.
spk_0
This we got to talk about because I'm not sure if we're going to get Lamar Jackson back
spk_0
or not this week.
spk_0
It's early here.
spk_0
It's a Monday.
spk_0
We're recording this.
spk_0
And the Ravens clearly have imploded the offense with Cooper rush yesterday was a disaster.
spk_0
The defense has nobody healthy on it.
spk_0
And even when they were healthy, they weren't playing very well.
spk_0
You've lost so much in a short period of time.
spk_0
I know there's a lot of people saying, Hey, there's still plenty of time because that division
spk_0
is soft, but you know what?
spk_0
Like all the Steelers have to do is basically handle their business and split with the Ravens
spk_0
here in the season in order to win that division right now.
spk_0
But it Derek Henry in terms of asset right now.
spk_0
I don't know if the fumbling got into his head there or if it's just a matter of like
spk_0
this offense just can't run the way it's currently constituted.
spk_0
I think it's more the latter.
spk_0
But he's an interesting by low for me because at some point Lamar is healthy.
spk_0
And at some point when you're making that stretch run, I'm actually the mind of buying
spk_0
Derek Henry now.
spk_0
So the panic meter, I think is real.
spk_0
I think it's pretty high for the Derek Henry manager because outside of that first week,
spk_0
it's been kind of rough.
spk_0
Well, you think is he a buy or a sell right now?
spk_0
Things a bad time to sell just because like he's had two at weeks and you're selling
spk_0
at a low, we know he can be a high volume running back.
spk_0
I think this week they're going to try to lean back into him.
spk_0
They've got a tougher matchup against the Rammy Rams defense can be pretty tough.
spk_0
If Lamar is out, I think you're going to have to lean back on Derek Henry as much as possible.
spk_0
When Lamar Jackson's back, I think that puts him in a much better spot.
spk_0
We clearly know how he can thrive in there.
spk_0
I'm a buy.
spk_0
I really, really hate like massively talented players on like a two week bad turn,
spk_0
then talking about how we have to sell them.
spk_0
Imagine after the two weeks, Jamar chase just had.
spk_0
And then this week happened and you're just like, Oh man, he was one of the most
spk_0
traded players this week.
spk_0
Of course he was.
spk_0
And took more questions on the trade streams about Jamar chase.
spk_0
And what do I do?
spk_0
Is this enough to get for Jamar chase?
spk_0
And we kept saying the same thing.
spk_0
It's like you can't do it.
spk_0
And don't do it now when they're finally going home.
spk_0
I know it was garbage time.
spk_0
And I know it's not pretty.
spk_0
But elite wide receivers, elite players will still be a lead.
spk_0
Even during bad stretches, just they can't be elite every game.
spk_0
And that brings me to this question too, because I had it in the show sheet to ask today.
spk_0
Are the Ravens beyond repair?
spk_0
Because they've allowed 35 or more points in four games.
spk_0
That's the most in a season in team history.
spk_0
Do you think the Ravens are beyond repair?
spk_0
Or is there enough time left in the season for them to get healthy, get right and find a
spk_0
way into the playoffs?
spk_0
I think their defense feels like it's beyond repair, but they are not beyond repair.
spk_0
Like they can win games going toe to toe.
spk_0
You know what I mean?
spk_0
Like they can do that.
spk_0
I can't do it without Lamar.
spk_0
They're not going to do it with Cooper Rush.
spk_0
Clearly, I think they could go and improve offensively.
spk_0
Can they put band-aids on some of the defense?
spk_0
Sure, they could go make moves.
spk_0
You got to get a little bit of healthy.
spk_0
But they're the worst.
spk_0
I mean, one of my you, Joe, you were on the show.
spk_0
I had a great betting week this week.
spk_0
And one of those bets was going up against the Ravens, you know, going up as far as
spk_0
the past defense goes.
spk_0
Because what was that one?
spk_0
It was my...
spk_0
I had to go back and look, but we had a good week.
spk_0
I was five and no.
spk_0
You had a swan week.
spk_0
I was four and one with a touchdown and...
spk_0
Go follow.
spk_0
I'm sorry, you know what it was.
spk_0
That's what you do.
spk_0
Fields was my one, but it was a stride.
spk_0
I'm sorry.
spk_0
I had this mixed up on the ranked show.
spk_0
I talked about...
spk_0
I've got...
spk_0
I had stride higher than most people because that like strides going to dominate these guys.
spk_0
Now he didn't get my 300 yard marker.
spk_0
I don't think if I remember correctly.
spk_0
But he had the four touchdowns.
spk_0
Their defense feels like it's beyond repair.
spk_0
But this team can still bounce back.
spk_0
We don't have to get a weekly stave video.
spk_0
Like they can do this because their offense can be so powerful, but they have to have
spk_0
Lamar Jackson Cooper.
spk_0
Are there more interesting...
spk_0
As guys who are chasing for change.
spk_0
You know, we've seen the Ravens have great seasons when 14 games then lose home playoff games.
spk_0
Patrick, but home is stuff.
spk_0
Like we've seen this story before.
spk_0
You think maybe it's better for them to be the chasers once and maybe now maybe the weight of everything was so bad.
spk_0
It's kind of funny because it was like a couple years ago, the chiefs were kind of like this.
spk_0
Remember where the chiefs were kind of like a slow start, whatever.
spk_0
And then they kind of got hot late and then they became the chasers.
spk_0
And that was the year that my homes went in and beat Lamar Jackson on the road
spk_0
as an underdog.
spk_0
And we made all that money every single game when he was the underdog on the road.
spk_0
It just feels like maybe the Ravens should be looking around and starting to reconsider.
spk_0
And here we go.
spk_0
Here's a perfect question.
spk_0
We can just talk about this from Sixonzo.
spk_0
Should I trade to Marcheys for CMC?
spk_0
Now that's interesting.
spk_0
CMC leads the league in touches right now.
spk_0
He's 130.
spk_0
That's 20 more than Jonathan Taylor.
spk_0
I don't know if that's a good thing.
spk_0
I've been telling everybody pick up Brian Robinson Jr. just because because that's a lot of touches through five week period.
spk_0
Who would you rather have rest of season?
spk_0
I assume it's CMC, but does the workload of the first five weeks bother you at all?
spk_0
Nope.
spk_0
I mean, I'm sure like he's got all the touches.
spk_0
Like I think the concern is like in your face, but CMC also looks great.
spk_0
They're also doing this without all their offensive pieces.
spk_0
So they don't have to give him 72 touches per game.
spk_0
Once we get kiddled back, once we've got if I you comes back for really once you get Jennings and Purysaw going,
spk_0
they're still winning games.
spk_0
They are incorporating Brian Robinson a lot.
spk_0
It's a necessity when you're starting wide receivers are Demarcus,
spk_0
Robinson, Kendrick, Born and Skymore.
spk_0
You're going to have to give Christian McCaffrey the ball quite a lot.
spk_0
But no, I think he's super efficient.
spk_0
He's an insane wide receiver right now.
spk_0
As good as Lamar, as Jamar chase was in that game, that first half of the bangles,
spk_0
if you watched it was exactly like all of the other Jake Browning games,
spk_0
some of the worst football ever, no offensive line help.
spk_0
Browning throwing at his feet, doing wrong reads.
spk_0
There was one chase was wide open.
spk_0
He missed the offense look bad.
spk_0
They made really good adjustments on the back end here, but the bangles are in for it.
spk_0
And it's still in a rough spot.
spk_0
So if you get a team that's going to shut down Jamar chase, that they got nothing.
spk_0
So Jamar can still be great.
spk_0
He's a super talented player.
spk_0
Their offense is so bad.
spk_0
Christian McCaffrey, you have an injury risk, of course, but he is the high touch guy.
spk_0
Once it off, in skins humming, even more, you're going to have more rushing touchdowns.
spk_0
Give me CMC over Jamar chase.
spk_0
Browning in the bangles, by the way, they head to Green Bay this week over under three and a half
spk_0
sacks of Jake Browning in that game.
spk_0
Over.
spk_0
Is that is does that's something I can bet?
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I'm sure I don't know, but I'm sure going to try.
spk_0
And it's weird because you look at that matchup on paper and you say, oh, the corners aren't great.
spk_0
Jamar chase, do you think you should actually be alright, but I just don't know if he's going
spk_0
to be upright long enough with an offensive line to do anything about it.
spk_0
I don't bet defensive stuff.
spk_0
I'm a yard.
spk_0
It's more of the embossing ladders.
spk_0
Yeah, I don't bet defensive stuff.
spk_0
Whatever the micaparcin sack number is this week, I'm going over.
spk_0
And if they'll let me like, he might have five sacks this week.
spk_0
Like the offensive line might be the worst in the NFL.
spk_0
And Jake Browning doesn't know what to do.
spk_0
Micaparcin is going to have a multi sack week.
spk_0
I have no question about it.
spk_0
I would bet the multi sacks are Parsons.
spk_0
Are I fahey's got a question?
spk_0
Should I trade AJ Brown Ferguson and Chase Brown for digs?
spk_0
And I assume James Cook is what we're talking about here.
spk_0
So let's say I don't know.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
Daven Cook is he's done.
spk_0
It's not like it was Smith like.
spk_0
It's just Smith or Brown is that this week?
spk_0
By the time he gets like we five six in the season, your brain just starts to mold over
spk_0
when you people just throw last news.
spk_0
You got to put that back up.
spk_0
I got to I don't remember the names already.
spk_0
So, um, all right, digs and Cook.
spk_0
Well, he's dying.
spk_0
What I mean, digs is also on a piece that I want to talk about here.
spk_0
I actually think digs and Ferguson could be a lot closer than we're giving credit for.
spk_0
I think Brown is I'm sorry, Brown and digs.
spk_0
I think Brown, I love this week against the Giants.
spk_0
Like that, that is a great matchup.
spk_0
Like all this like the shirt and stuff.
spk_0
It's really hard to get him the football against the secondary of the Denver Broncos.
spk_0
Well, great receivers can great.
spk_0
Often say they should get the ball to the receivers no matter who's coming.
spk_0
Apparently, AJ Brown is also a great defender because he kept that ball away from Devanta Smith at the end.
spk_0
Sorry, too soon.
spk_0
Too soon.
spk_0
Dude, I'm really torn on this one.
spk_0
I want like I'm not either the digs and Cook side and I'll tell you why.
spk_0
Because Ferguson, I think when CD Lamb comes back in a few weeks,
spk_0
any will, Zerdy rumors that he might ramp up this week will see if that's true or not.
spk_0
But I think Ferguson falls back a little bit once you have that.
spk_0
And then you've got digs who I think ask yourself this question.
spk_0
The way these offense are going to run the rest of the year.
spk_0
You want Drake May slinging the football to that one target of Stefan Digs,
spk_0
where there's not a lot of competition.
spk_0
Or the run heavy offense that works for the Philadelphia Eagles.
spk_0
And I don't want to look, I like AJ Brown.
spk_0
I still like buying on him.
spk_0
But I think Cook and Digs gives me a lot more on a weekly basis than the other.
spk_0
It's a good deal for everybody.
spk_0
Let me say Feh.
spk_0
I think that's an all right deal for everybody.
spk_0
Yeah, I'm down with that.
spk_0
I think digs has taken another level.
spk_0
James Cook is like either one A or one B of the best player in there.
spk_0
AJ Brown is just super talented, but that offense, I don't know when it's get going.
spk_0
I'm fine actually doing that trade because I think James Cook is a huge get here.
spk_0
Chase Brown is, you know, if you play in a 2.5 receptions for running
spk_0
backs behind the five yard line, then Chase Brown is the best.
spk_0
He's so good there.
spk_0
Yeah, that's really where he shines.
spk_0
All right, let's talk about takeaways and favorite moments of the week here.
spk_0
And I'll start with my big takeaway.
spk_0
Always trust Baker Mayfield on the road as an underdog.
spk_0
It never fails.
spk_0
It was upset special twice now this year because it's only happened twice,
spk_0
which makes me terrified because this week against the 49ers at home, he's a favorite.
spk_0
And I can't, I want to bet on him.
spk_0
I want to like it.
spk_0
I can't do it.
spk_0
So, you know, Baker Mayfield probably the game of the day.
spk_0
I think, you know, besides the night game, which was very entertaining for me personally.
spk_0
But if I told you back in 2018, Sam Darnel, the Baker Mayfield are going to have
spk_0
an amazing fun game on a Sunday afternoon in 2025.
spk_0
I bet you wouldn't think they'd be playing for the Buccaneers
spk_0
and the Seattle Seahawks doing it.
spk_0
But they were.
spk_0
And it was fun.
spk_0
And Baker Mayfield just finds a way to get it done.
spk_0
And I'll tell you why, they make it like Buka is an absolute stud.
spk_0
And then they did, everybody was second-guessing them in the draft when they made that pick.
spk_0
Why are they doing this?
spk_0
They've got Godwin.
spk_0
They've got Evans.
spk_0
They've just took McMillan the year before.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Because if you just take the best player on the board, good things happen.
spk_0
And what a terrific job by the front office there for me.
spk_0
Did you see to all of the people this week?
spk_0
I mean, like, listen, we all love analytics and we break down a lot of stuff.
spk_0
But every just mouth breather just being large.
spk_0
Buka's got a zero NFL score blah, blah, blah.
spk_0
He looks like Baker Mayfield loves him.
spk_0
Looks like one of the best wide receivers in the league.
spk_0
Wait, people are saying negative against him.
spk_0
Oh, my God.
spk_0
If I could find it, what is it?
spk_0
It was like plus one 15 leading the pack for rookie of the year right now.
spk_0
Ashland Gentys plus 380, Dara 650.
spk_0
I don't see a work.
spk_0
This might be the last time to get in on this,
spk_0
Buka at this price before it goes minus.
spk_0
Like, I don't know that.
spk_0
Is it the separation score?
spk_0
Someone can help out.
spk_0
But it was like, I think they were saying like he has,
spk_0
he's like the worst in the NFL in separation score.
spk_0
And people were like, sell now.
spk_0
Get him out of here at Buka.
spk_0
Worst separation score.
spk_0
You got to get out.
spk_0
And it's just like, he just continue.
spk_0
He's Chris Carter.
spk_0
All he does is catch touchdowns.
spk_0
He always finds us.
spk_0
Finds us.
spk_0
He's on a gym too.
spk_0
Yeah, he does.
spk_0
He finds a way to get open in big spots.
spk_0
Baker Mayfield is looking for him.
spk_0
And it's just awesome.
spk_0
It's just fantastic.
spk_0
What was, let's do a takeaway for you here.
spk_0
What was your takeaway from this week?
spk_0
We've kind of talked about both of mine.
spk_0
My takeaway though is that Diggs is now official.
spk_0
So it started off slow.
spk_0
So we were talking about Seffan Diggs a little bit earlier.
spk_0
He talked about his comfortability in the offense.
spk_0
We saw like, booty the first week.
spk_0
We saw some Douglas.
spk_0
We would see day.
spk_0
I remember, remember my very first bet of the season
spk_0
was the Steffan Diggs over receiving yard prop,
spk_0
which did hit, but it was super tough
spk_0
because he wasn't playing all the snaps.
spk_0
They're getting him in in weird spots,
spk_0
kind of learning.
spk_0
Things have started to progress.
spk_0
What I'm getting at is kind of like in the,
spk_0
this is how I feel.
spk_0
The Jutkins was unleashed territory.
spk_0
We are now in unleashed Steffan Diggs territory.
spk_0
This week alone, he had the third highest first read percentage.
spk_0
He had a great a yard score.
spk_0
He ended up having 60 a yards, a bunch of receptions,
spk_0
one of the highest target percentages of the week.
spk_0
All the things are there.
spk_0
Drake May has talked about how fun it's going to be
spk_0
to let Steffan Diggs do the thing.
spk_0
Well, guess what?
spk_0
We're there.
spk_0
He's doing the thing.
spk_0
He's comfortable in the offense.
spk_0
May loves him.
spk_0
He had, I think it was six and a half yards per out run.
spk_0
12 to 13 yards after the catch.
spk_0
Maybe I owned and flated that.
spk_0
Maybe it was like eight yards.
spk_0
But tons of yards after the catch per yard's route run,
spk_0
targets first read percentage.
spk_0
Drake may loves him.
spk_0
So when we look at that trade,
spk_0
that's why I said, when you look at AJ Brown versus Steffan Diggs,
spk_0
ladies and gentlemen, it's not that far off here.
spk_0
Diggs is a number one in this offense now with Drake May
spk_0
who is moving this.
spk_0
And I think Diggs is going to should sit somewhere
spk_0
as like a mid-tier wide receiver too.
spk_0
And he's got wide receiver upside like you saw this week.
spk_0
So that was a big takeaway that I think he is.
spk_0
I think he finished his top loss offense.
spk_0
Yeah, I think that's possible.
spk_0
I don't think that's a hot take.
spk_0
I think he finishes the top 20 wide receiver.
spk_0
And September was kind of like that slow ramp up coming off the injury, right?
spk_0
He looks fantastic.
spk_0
And I know he was super motivated, but look,
spk_0
it's a good match.
spk_0
The rest of the season schedule is pretty good for the Patriots.
spk_0
Why we talked about that over for the win total for them,
spk_0
because it's pretty good.
spk_0
Here's a fun thing too.
spk_0
This is a great job by our folks here and our producer.
spk_0
So according to PFF, the highest pass of rating
spk_0
when targeted this season,
spk_0
a mecca egg bokeh 145.3 per PFF.
spk_0
That's insane.
spk_0
It's a great.
spk_0
So I always wonder if that's one,
spk_0
I mean, because there's always a battle,
spk_0
especially as a baseball person,
spk_0
there's always a battle of like analytics versus like real world stuff.
spk_0
Well, the ESPN analytics has him way far down.
spk_0
And I'm like, maybe your analytics model isn't very good
spk_0
if you have a mecca egg bokeh that far down.
spk_0
Yeah, but what I was saying is I wonder if like the NFL
spk_0
pays attention or anybody pays attention to that specific stat,
spk_0
where it's like they have the highest quarterback percentage win throw in the ball.
spk_0
If that's something that people are really longed into,
spk_0
because like guess what?
spk_0
He's a great possession receiver.
spk_0
The talking about like separation scores and stuff like that,
spk_0
like this matter, like you can get him the ball.
spk_0
And by the way, I was going to say this earlier,
spk_0
how about the whole like Baker Mayfield will never repeat last year?
spk_0
There's a huge narrative around what a lot of that.
spk_0
There was a lot of that.
spk_0
He was going to feel it.
spk_0
He fell in draft significantly.
spk_0
I got him in multiple spots because he ended up being outside the top 10.
spk_0
And he has all the weapons and he looks great.
spk_0
He's still making it happen.
spk_0
Like maybe it's like a 30 40 touchdowns or whatever.
spk_0
But you know, with a mecca, you never know.
spk_0
Sky's the same metric by the way on ESPN has Jumar Chase is the 67th wide receiver
spk_0
by this metric or whatever it is.
spk_0
So what is it like the shredder like they were.
spk_0
It's an open score, which is actually one I'm not familiar with.
spk_0
I think that's the one I was talking about.
spk_0
That's the open score.
spk_0
They gave to like a mecca bokeh.
spk_0
It's the worst open score in the NFL.
spk_0
You should trade him.
spk_0
Maybe you should close the open score.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
All right. Let's talk about this.
spk_0
Now, Bob bin's not here.
spk_0
But he likes to have his presence felt on the show today.
spk_0
His takeaway was by low and AJ Brown.
spk_0
And I agree.
spk_0
So I will reiterate that for Bob bin as well.
spk_0
He's got a great match up Thursday.
spk_0
You just saw them.
spk_0
No, I saw them because I was getting digs and cook.
spk_0
And I think that's pretty good because Ferguson again.
spk_0
Right now, Tidens.
spk_0
There's guys like Mason Taylor on the waiver wire.
spk_0
The O'Johnson the waiver wire.
spk_0
Darren Waller is still available on some waiver wires.
spk_0
I'll figure that out.
spk_0
But let's not be crazy here when CD Lam is back.
spk_0
CD Lam is going to get the lion share of these targets.
spk_0
Jalen tober disappears.
spk_0
Pickens will be a guy.
spk_0
And again, we're just going to pick up where we were before that.

His moment of the week was Mac Jones eating a banana while being worked on
spk_0
which also was pretty damn good.
spk_0
The you know you've made it when someone hand you a banana already peeled.
spk_0
I think he even have to peel his own banana.
spk_0
That's when you're a star Welsh.
spk_0
That's when you're a star.
spk_0
Did you hear it too?
spk_0
Outside of him also being dressed like Harley Quinn in the episode.
spk_0
Did you see that he like hope or not?
spk_0
It was just a real story about the person in the water.
spk_0
Did you hear about this?
spk_0
I don't know but it seems like we shouldn't so let's talk about it.
spk_0
It's no I mean like he said he like I don't know if this is true.
spk_0
Like I could have been getting got out there but like he's eating bananas.
spk_0
He's dressed like Harley Quinn and then it was something like he saw like
spk_0
he saw like someone floating in the water.
spk_0
Like not like having a great time.
spk_0
Wait a minute.
spk_0
What do you mean floating in the water?
spk_0
Did he see this person floating in the water?
spk_0
Just had a chance.
spk_0
No no wait can you Seth you have the picture?
spk_0
Can we bring that picture back up?
spk_0
Was it this person?
spk_0
No no I think unfortunately the person was on the other side.
spk_0
So I don't know.
spk_0
It was in that banana.
spk_0
But yeah I don't know.
spk_0
I don't know I could have been got about that.
spk_0
Mac Jones having like a really weird time right now.
spk_0
Whatever man he looks good.
spk_0
He looks good in the system.
spk_0
All right let's get to the moments for me and well sheer obviously mine was digs.
spk_0
146 yards against his old team that was the moment of the week for me.
spk_0
And it's funny because I had a massive parlay that I cashed out of
spk_0
because I just got a feeling at the end.
spk_0
And the last leg of it was just the bills to win.
spk_0
And then somewhere in that middle of the fourth I was like I got a cash out of this
spk_0
because and I could have won a couple hundred dollars.
spk_0
I had to settle for just like like 65 70% of it.
spk_0
And I was like you know what because I hit the Carolina Panthers.
spk_0
I hit the team total of the blinds.
spk_0
I hit everything.
spk_0
Everything was like a five leg parlay.
spk_0
The last thing was the stupid bills that just win a football game against my
spk_0
lowly patriots.
spk_0
And they couldn't do it.
spk_0
And I just had the weird feelings like Mac Jones can't be denied.
spk_0
Mac Jones right after he made that play.
spk_0
You know when the guy was pulling him by the by the collar and he stood up.
spk_0
And he threw that one ball to digs.
spk_0
I cashed out.
spk_0
I was like this is not happening.
spk_0
Something has gone on here.
spk_0
And Mac.
spk_0
To me, Mac Joe Drake May is just going to now become a guy.
spk_0
And he is going to take off from this game.
spk_0
And look he has played well this year.
spk_0
But prime time in Buffalo.
spk_0
That's a tough spot.
spk_0
So that was my moment for sure.
spk_0
Well, you're already kind of touched on your moment of the day.
spk_0
But let's touch on it one more time.
spk_0
How dumb is it?
spk_0
It's one thing when you're the first guy to do this and it's an accident.
spk_0
But isn't there something that goes around and reverberates through the league?
spk_0
Where it's like, hey, everybody.
spk_0
Just before we start practice today,
spk_0
when you score a touchdown, make sure you cross the goal line before you drop the ball.
spk_0
Right?
spk_0
Yeah, I would tell me otherwise.
spk_0
I think this is the dumbest play in the NFL in the last five years.
spk_0
I don't know if I would say it all time.
spk_0
But it might be because it is not like this just accident.
spk_0
Like you broke a 70-yarder.
spk_0
Yeah, you broke a 70-yarder.
spk_0
You cost your team the win.
spk_0
And it literally just happened.
spk_0
Like every NFL team should have talking about it.
spk_0
Should be talking about it.
spk_0
I think it is the single stupidest play in the NFL this year.
spk_0
And that I can remember.
spk_0
And you can't be like, oh, the guy fumble.
spk_0
When guys fumble, like it is dumb.
spk_0
It sucks.
spk_0
If guy fumbles two or three times, it's heartbreaking.
spk_0
It's not as stupid as what this was.
spk_0
The dumbest play in the NFL that I can recall.
spk_0
Simply with the extra little like sauce on top because of it happening last week.
spk_0
It's crazy.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Let's do a little factor fiction.
spk_0
If you got factor fictions, you can drop a minute.
spk_0
We'll try to give our best answer.
spk_0
Here's one from the legend.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
Calvin Ridley is back after last week's performance.
spk_0
Well, you know what it takes for the Titans to win a football game.
spk_0
It takes them making a mistake where they throw a pick.
spk_0
Somebody then fumbling that pick and Tyler Lockett.
spk_0
Probably the only way he's going to score this year is by picking up that
spk_0
fumble and recovering it for a touchdown.
spk_0
That's what it takes for the Titans to win.
spk_0
I guess what they might win this week too.
spk_0
I'm just telling you right now, I got a weird feeling about that game.
spk_0
But anyway, factor fiction.
spk_0
Calvin Ridley back.
spk_0
Yeah, I think he's like back-ish.
spk_0
I'll do it.
spk_0
Use this again.
spk_0
He's adjacent to back.
spk_0
I love that show.
spk_0
Is he fully back?
spk_0
That's not the same show.
spk_0
Is he fully fully back?
spk_0
No, because I think he kind of stinks a little bit.
spk_0
But like things readjusted himself.
spk_0
He had the top 15 first read percentage.
spk_0
It over 30% first read percentage.
spk_0
They were able to get him the ball.
spk_0
They got him out a little bit deep.
spk_0
Maybe, you know, I'm in his helping this out.
spk_0
Even though he just kind of continuously doesn't do a whole bunch.
spk_0
Like I think Ridley.
spk_0
Ridley is back into the graces where we can talk about starting him.
spk_0
I think he's going to be a waverwire priority for some people
spk_0
because people cut him.
spk_0
I think he more needed to be a player that was on a lot of benches.
spk_0
Now I think he can push wide receiver wide,
spk_0
wide receiver three or four territory.
spk_0
But does that back?
spk_0
Like, I don't know.
spk_0
So that's why it's adjacent to back to me.
spk_0
Yeah, I don't want to say back.
spk_0
So I'm going to say fiction.
spk_0
That's where I'm going to go.
spk_0
Or I got another factor fiction for you.
spk_0
Carson Wenshund, stay a quarterback for the Vikings.
spk_0
Rest of season.
spk_0
Even when JJ McCarthy is ready.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
Not fiction.
spk_0
I mean, I think I know what we're doing.
spk_0
This is similar to you're like,
spk_0
there's a controversy.
spk_0
Mac Jones and Brock Pretty.
spk_0
Like, not like Wins can be efficient.
spk_0
He throws the tight ends.
spk_0
Like he gets a he's a veteran.
spk_0
This is what they do.
spk_0
But he is not spectacular.
spk_0
If JJ McCarthy is garbage,
spk_0
then yes, but you are going to you're going to break them.
spk_0
You're going to break this talent level of this guy
spk_0
who missed all of last year needs to come in.
spk_0
Get adjusted to the offense.
spk_0
Like I think he needs to be the quarterback.
spk_0
But it's a totally like fair question
spk_0
because Winshund is being efficient.
spk_0
But I'll say,
spk_0
fact or fiction.
spk_0
I try.
spk_0
And has one.
spk_0
It's very personal though.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
We will get Joe as Dr. Evil again, this Halloween.
spk_0
Now I didn't do it last year because I figured I did it twice.
spk_0
People get sick of it.
spk_0
But apparently not because I guess I'd upset people
spk_0
that I didn't do it last year.
spk_0
Now we don't have a show on Halloween.
spk_0
We have a Halloween adjacent show.
spk_0
So I could do it.
spk_0
Well, it's a Friday.
spk_0
It's a Friday, but like I'm not going to dress up
spk_0
for the bedding pro show.
spk_0
You know, we have the pro show.
spk_0
Yeah, I got it.
spk_0
Then Erickson's got to dress up.
spk_0
And you know, he doesn't know who anybody is.
spk_0
I'm also on the show.
spk_0
So I might have to dress up too if you forget.
spk_0
Well, like we, but, but what do you think?
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
Should we bring back Dr.
spk_0
maybe should we pull up?
spk_0
Could we put a pull up here?
spk_0
We do that over here on the Twitch.
spk_0
We'll get a pole going.
spk_0
Well, you know what?
spk_0
Should I bring back Dr.
spk_0
Evil this year for the live stream
spk_0
on the Thursday starts it?
spk_0
It's your party.
spk_0
I loosely say this.
spk_0
You're your flamboyant with your acting and stuff like that.
spk_0
Here, you got a lot of costumes.
spk_0
I don't.
spk_0
I agree.
spk_0
Joe Joe is at like, you're at a Comic Con.
spk_0
I got it because you.
spk_0
Why don't I have a good pain?
spk_0
I was a, my pain was so good.
spk_0
People screamed at cars from the sidewalks from me.
spk_0
Like I was walking in the sidewalk.
spk_0
People driving down the street.
spk_0
Literally women in cars screaming at me.
spk_0
I was born in the darkness.
spk_0
I think you every Monday for,
spk_0
I was about to call it leading off out of bounds the rest of October.
spk_0
You should, you should dress up.
spk_0
You should dress up and be,
spk_0
because I know you've got more than two costumes.
spk_0
You can be doctor easily,
spk_0
you can be pain and then surprise us.
spk_0
Yeah. All right.
spk_0
Let's go to Factor fiction here.
spk_0
Doubtless stole the starting job.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
That was a 201 yards from Doubtless.
spk_0
Stunning and I'm so annoyed because Derek Brown
spk_0
picked him up and played him against me in our league this week.
spk_0
And I was just like, you're a jerk.
spk_0
I don't think he took the job because in my eyes,
spk_0
taking the job means that he now gets 15 to 20 touches per game.
spk_0
And Chubahubber gets what's left over.
spk_0
But what I do think is this is now a sharp and a Ken Walker situation.
spk_0
You got to get them touches.
spk_0
I think Dattl is going to have some spots where he might be more efficient.
spk_0
He looked awesome in that game.
spk_0
So I don't think he stole the game.
spk_0
But what he did take away from Chubah is being like a bell cow.
spk_0
And I think that has to be dead because there's no chance that you could just like be like,
spk_0
all right, get back to doing nothing Rico.
spk_0
Moving forward, like you can't do what the Niners would have done when McAfry was active
spk_0
when they had Jordan Mason and just said,
spk_0
see ya, you know, like this is going to be a split situation.
spk_0
Now so Dattl has some flex potential here.
spk_0
And you should pick him up if he's available.
spk_0
I don't think he's available in wires.
spk_0
No, he's like, you should pick him up.
spk_0
I'm not going to send Ross or because I was looking up at the way where I was.
spk_0
I was like, how many people did actually pick up Dattl?
spk_0
And I was shocked.
spk_0
It was like 79% on sleep.
spk_0
Or by the way, Triland, thanks for resubbing with prime.
spk_0
You should resub with prime or sub for the first time too.
spk_0
Because if you do, you get rid of those nasty commercials on Twitch.
spk_0
So use your Amazon Prime.
spk_0
Five bucks.
spk_0
You get rid of those.

spk_0
We got a lot of other factor functions here.
spk_0
I want to ask you.
spk_0
I want to ask you, I want to ask you.
spk_0
I'm going to ask you, I'm going to ask you.
spk_0
Who would you rather rest of season?
spk_0
Rico Dattl or Michael Carter?
spk_0
Michael Carter.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I got zero chill on that one.
spk_0
Because I'm worried that Benson doesn't come back for a very long time.
spk_0
Clearly.
spk_0
And I think that's good enough for me there.
spk_0
Um, let's get to here's another factor fiction.
spk_0
In fact, a fiction.
spk_0
QJ will have a better rest of season.
spk_0
AJ Brown.
spk_0
I say fiction.
spk_0
I say fiction.
spk_0
I'm loving this show more and more every week because we have to do very little.
spk_0
The audience is basically now dictating the entire show.
spk_0
I actually love that you guys are doing the factor fiction.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
This is a new episode.
spk_0
Somebody started it.
spk_0
And I'm going to let you guys do it.
spk_0
I'm just going to sit back where you're going to show up and let you guys do this every week.
spk_0
So factor fiction.
spk_0
I say fiction.
spk_0
I think QJ tails off here.
spk_0
I think that Chargers offensive line is showing some problems.
spk_0
I'm already in Hampton's going to miss some time now.
spk_0
Chargers are one from Owen from three and O.
spk_0
And they could be facing three and three right now.
spk_0
Like lose three in a row here very easily this week.
spk_0
I'm going to say, I'm going to say fact actually.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
I hate doing this because I think AJ Brown is super talented.
spk_0
I hate how he did it.
spk_0
And they could adjust.
spk_0
But I just don't think the Eagles will adjust.
spk_0
They just want to pound the ball and they'll find a couple games where they can pass and look
spk_0
at this game.
spk_0
AJ Brown got taken out.
spk_0
It was all Devon Tassamitt.
spk_0
AJ Brown still can have a couple big weeks.
spk_0
But so is Quentin Johnson.
spk_0
And he's still going to get involved.
spk_0
Like I know people are going to be celebrating like,
spk_0
oh, look, Vlad, he got that.
spk_0
I didn't have a great.
spk_0
He had the touch down.
spk_0
Yeah, he had the touch down.
spk_0
And then he was back to doing exactly what he does every single week.
spk_0
This has been one of the most pass heavy teams.
spk_0
Hampton might be banged up.
spk_0
They can't run at the same rate.
spk_0
I'm going to say it's Quentin Johnson.
spk_0
All right, factor, fiction, Jameson Williams is droppable in most leagues.
spk_0
I don't I say no.
spk_0
When he's at home, he explodes.
spk_0
When he's on the road, he's just not this,
spk_0
whatever reason, the way the offense operates.
spk_0
But the problem is he is a player that is a flex player.
spk_0
And I kept trying to drive this home to people because they would look at the raw stats
spk_0
and they would go, oh, wow, look at what he did last year.
spk_0
If he could only do more.
spk_0
But the problem is he's never going to come close to the target share that goes to guys like
spk_0
I'm on Ross St. Brown or even guys like Jimmy or Gibbs or Laporta to a certain extent.
spk_0
Because I'm on Ross St. Brown.
spk_0
It's so good at what he does.
spk_0
He is such a master of route running of ski.
spk_0
He's such a fantastic wide receiver.
spk_0
And Jameson Williams, the guy that takes the stop off the defense.
spk_0
He's got some big games and some quiet games.
spk_0
He is much more of a flex play than he is anything else.
spk_0
And I think people overrated him.
spk_0
But I wouldn't drop him.
spk_0
So I'd say fiction.
spk_0
Don't drop him.
spk_0
What do you say?
spk_0
Yeah, I agree.
spk_0
I don't he why would he be the guy to drop it?
spk_0
Like he's droppable in maybe 10 man leagues.
spk_0
If there's something cool out there.
spk_0
But I would say no.
spk_0
He's just like better team Christian Watson right now.
spk_0
And that has some play.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
Darren Waller will be a better tight end option over Kyle Pitz rest of season.
spk_0
Unless they fact.
spk_0
No, I think I'm going to say.
spk_0
Darren Waller.
spk_0
Prisoner of the moment.
spk_0
Well, okay.
spk_0
But listen, so listen.
spk_0
That team has nobody else.
spk_0
I don't know why they went to Darren Waller.
spk_0
Like it was John who Smith from last year in the first half and then completely
spk_0
disappeared.
spk_0
But what I know is Malik Washington's not the answer right now.
spk_0
Dude had three four catches.
spk_0
Three of them were for negative yards.
spk_0
Like they can't spread the ball.
spk_0
But guess what Darren Waller can do.
spk_0
He can get down the middle of the field just like John was doing.
spk_0
I think Darren Waller is going to be a four to six catch guy.
spk_0
And maybe you know, one of the number one red zone options for a team.
spk_0
Kyle Pitz is doing okay.
spk_0
Like Michael Pinnix is making him valuable.
spk_0
I just think they're super close.
spk_0
I don't know if I'm going to drop my Kyle Pitz necessarily for him.
spk_0
Because I do think both of these guys are right there.
spk_0
But I'm not going to be shocked when it's Kyle Pitz has, you know,
spk_0
50 catches for 600 yards and three touchdowns.
spk_0
And Darren Waller has 40 catches for 500 yards and nine touchdowns.
spk_0
You know, like I think Darren Waller, we have to consider is a tight in one rest of season.
spk_0
You clearly don't.
spk_0
You freaked out about it.
spk_0
I think he can be.
spk_0
But I don't know.
spk_0
I think Pitz has got off to a pretty decent start this year.
spk_0
And I just, I don't know.
spk_0
I just, I just, you're right.
spk_0
You make a good argument for it.
spk_0
But I just, I can't get there right now.
spk_0
Listen, Theo Johnson could outperform Kyle Pitz at this point.
spk_0
It's possible.
spk_0
Lobs him.
spk_0
You know what?
spk_0
The ball and the ball and the heart also has very little options.
spk_0
And if Darius Lane's going to miss time with the hamstring,
spk_0
it's more Theo Johnson.
spk_0
On the great day.
spk_0
Do I know who had the most in zone targets in the NFL this weekend?
spk_0
Theo Johnson.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Dart loves him.
spk_0
And he's going to keep doing that stuff.
spk_0
So like Theo Johnson has the potential too as well.
spk_0
But that's the state of tight end.
spk_0
The state of tight end is it went from last year to everybody
spk_0
L.O.L.ing all over everybody.
spk_0
If you didn't have one of the top four or five tight ends
spk_0
because everything sucked to just a plethora of options.
spk_0
Week in and week out to stream at tight end.
spk_0
Mason Taylor got 12 targets this week.
spk_0
Theo Johnson is involved.
spk_0
There are so many tight end.
spk_0
Guess what?
spk_0
If you were to, we did, we did, we did a top five on the waivers
spk_0
this weekend.
spk_0
At least two of them got to be tight ends.
spk_0
That's, I mean, that's also a bad
spk_0
waivers kind of looks right now pinning your league.
spk_0
But you got to take a look at those guys.
spk_0
So I think it's like a thin line.
spk_0
That's why I'm comfortable just saying like sure.
spk_0
I want a lightning round a couple of the ones that we had to talk about too.
spk_0
Because I want to get your take just so we'll go to these real quick.
spk_0
And then we'll get to the four three one one.
spk_0
And we'll get out for the day.
spk_0
Raiders will be making the quarterback change in week six
spk_0
because Gina Smith keeps throwing picks.
spk_0
I say fact.
spk_0
What do you say?
spk_0
I'm going to say in week six, I'll say fiction.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Cowboys offense is good enough to make them a playoff team,
spk_0
even though the defense sucks factor fiction.
spk_0
Fiction.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Let's go to a mecheg Buka will be a first round pick in 2026 drafts.
spk_0
Factor fiction.
spk_0
You should have done like top two round.
spk_0
I'm going to say fiction.
spk_0
But like it's like a turn.
spk_0
I think it'll be like a I think it'll be like a mid mid-ish second round.
spk_0
Pick something like that.
spk_0
We'll finish one for Mason.
spk_0
Derek Henry finishes an RB one this year.
spk_0
I think he might just because of all the injuries that have happened.
spk_0
He's still my back doors way in there.
spk_0
I'll say fact.
spk_0
Yeah, it's going to be tough because guys like
spk_0
Jutkins and ETN and Kamis Kattiboo might make a late run
spk_0
with all the players in there.
spk_0
I'm going to say fact because of its touchdown equity,
spk_0
but I also wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.
spk_0
All right, let's take a look at the 3-1-1 contest.
spk_0
I've still got Patrick Maholm's alive for tonight
spk_0
and Xavier Worthy for Bogman.
spk_0
Well, she's done.
spk_0
He got shut out this week.
spk_0
I want one.
spk_0
So I am on the board with five.
spk_0
I can get to six.
spk_0
Bogman could get to five, but Worthy is questionable tonight.
spk_0
So we'll see if he plays.
spk_0
Let's turn our attention to next week,
spk_0
two weeks six in the NFL.
spk_0
300-yard passer.
spk_0
Well, I know his name.
spk_0
His name is Dak Prescott.
spk_0
But he's taking on the Carolina Panthers defense.
spk_0
It's in Carolina.
spk_0
It doesn't clearly need CD-Lamb to throw for 300 yards.
spk_0
So I'm going to go ahead and take Dak Prescott.
spk_0
I'm also going to take his Sequon Barclay
spk_0
to rush for 100 yards against the Giants.
spk_0
In New York, as nothing Sequon Barclay loves to do
spk_0
more than remind the Giants of how good he was
spk_0
and how dumb they were to let him go.
spk_0
And then it's been the theme of the show,
spk_0
a mecheg Buka against your 49ers
spk_0
to put up another 100 spot.
spk_0
He's the guy right now.
spk_0
And I don't care when any opens that,
spk_0
open whatever the hell metrics tell me,
spk_0
mecheg Buka is a stud.
spk_0
And he showed up every single week, making big plays,
spk_0
making the ones that count, getting touchdowns,
spk_0
and Baker Mayfield clearly has confidence in him
spk_0
in big spots.
spk_0
So Dak, Sequon and mecheg Buka Bogman next week
spk_0
is going to go with Josh Allen at Atlanta,
spk_0
Josh Jacobs and Cincinnati and Josh SN.
spk_0
No, JSN at Jacksonville.
spk_0
It would have been nice to be at all Josh's.
spk_0
That would have been tricky.
spk_0
He should have. He should have.
spk_0
He really gets credit for the triple J.
spk_0
It was the J's.
spk_0
Alan Jacobs and JSN.
spk_0
Well, where are you going for your 300 yard pass
spk_0
or 100 yard russure and 100 yard receiver
spk_0
this week in the NFL?
spk_0
Did Jeff Jerry become triple J?
spk_0
It was always double just double J.
spk_0
He was double J.
spk_0
Well, Jerry, Jerry, good to go on Jerry Judy,
spk_0
but that would be asking a lot of Dylan Gabriel.
spk_0
Yeah, well, that'd be just not winning like me.
spk_0
That would be mine.
spk_0
I am not.
spk_0
You were close though.
spk_0
You were close.
spk_0
You were not close with Devon H.
spk_0
And I believe that was one of your picks.
spk_0
But yeah, not so much with the rushing Devon H.
spk_0
And but a hell of a touchdown catch.
spk_0
Yeah, hey, you know what?
spk_0
You want your first touchdown bets?
spk_0
I just cashed out mind this week, killed those.
spk_0
You want your 300, 100, 100?
spk_0
I'm not your guy.
spk_0
I have not been doing it well.
spk_0
But I am going to continuously go against Baltimore.
spk_0
And you got Matthew Stafford this week.
spk_0
So give me a break.
spk_0
Matthew Stafford and the Rams.
spk_0
Unfortunately, they might be able to just run down the throat.
spk_0
But if this game is close whatsoever,
spk_0
the Rams are just going to be slinging the ball.
spk_0
Puka and Devon Teyadam should eat them up, which by the way,
spk_0
I'm going to just pair him.
spk_0
I'm going to stack with Puka as my 100 yard receiver
spk_0
because Baltimore, a guard, a guard, a guard, a guard.
spk_0
They had just needed to throw a little bit more.
spk_0
Taneco, Nico could add 150 yards if he wanted.
spk_0
They just were able to efficiently get the ball around.
spk_0
That came with the first quarter.
spk_0
Yeah, this offense runs through Puka.
spk_0
And then I'm going to go with Aston Gentie.
spk_0
Aston Gentie versus Tennessee.
spk_0
Technically, before DeMarcato was a big dumb idiot,
spk_0
that was like a 70 yard burner.
spk_0
Michael Carter was getting some efficiency in there.
spk_0
And this team, what are the rated needs to do?
spk_0
Get the ball out of Geno Smith's hands.
spk_0
Get it into Aston Gentie.
spk_0
So I'm going to go with Gentie for 100 yards.
spk_0
I affectionately say with DeMarcato.
spk_0
I would be devastated if I did something like that.
spk_0
And he was apologetic, by the way,
spk_0
and he deserves credit for taking ownership for it.
spk_0
But how you could do that after someone just did it,
spk_0
it is, it is, it's not so effective.
spk_0
That's what it is.
spk_0
Objectively dumb.
spk_0
Objectively unprofessional, I think is even it.
spk_0
Let's go take a question from Jay here.
spk_0
One last trade question.
spk_0
Would you trade Debo for AJ Brown?
spk_0
I'm going to say no.
spk_0
I want Debo in that offense, especially with Jane Daniels back,
spk_0
healthy. How about you?
spk_0
That's a pretty close one.
spk_0
I mean, when McClaurren's back, it kind of takes off the,
spk_0
I would probably go with AJ Brown there for the upside.
spk_0
But when McClaurren's not there, Debo,
spk_0
if he Debo was a dog this week,
spk_0
he looked like back to being number one.
spk_0
But they got, I think the rushing upside doesn't exist.
spk_0
Bill Kroski looks really good.
spk_0
Jane Daniels will spread the ball around.
spk_0
So I'll go with AJ Brown.
spk_0
All right, there you have it everybody.
spk_0
