What's good friends, welcome and a fantasy-focused football alongside Field Jates and Mike Clay. Sorry about that, Michael, I yelled really loud in your ear. Every time. My name is Daniel. I'll never learn. I'll never learn. I always turn it up, so it's so quiet before the show, and I have to turn the volume up. And you start screaming at my ear. I'm sorry. Every time. Well, because I talk to you at a normal voice, but then we do the open and the show, I'm excited. I know. I apologize. Good mood this morning. Yeah, surprisingly in a good mood on a Thursday. How you guys doing today? We're great. On a Friday. It's Friday. We were just looking at the weather. It is beautiful here in Connecticut. Yes. We're about to have like eight straight days of rain, so shout out Mother Nature for absolutely nothing. And we got a fantasy bananza last night. Yes, sorry. You did. No, it was a tough one, unfortunately. We're going to dive into our week two storylines part two and a quick shout out to our friends over at trophy smack at at trophy smack.com, use the promo code trophy week two for 10% off over there. Pretty much everybody that has Josh Allen should just start buying the bill. Just start by yes. If you have Josh Allen, it feels like you were set up. He has the Detroit line's number over 40 fantasy points in back to back games against this squad. Honestly, everything that you basically asked for with the exception of, and I want to say this, DJ Moore doesn't count because he got hurt, so he doesn't count as a disappointment. Jameson Williams was the only disappointment. Everyone else that you asked for fantasy points from field, it all came true. It was amazing. So we can just do the very quick stuff that was like obvious and great Josh Allen, so ridiculous. Even when we told you like, hey, we're, we're very comfortable with the value of quarterback later in drafts. If you took, we said we kept saying if you take Josh out on the second round, I'm not going to be mad at you, right? Because he's going to finish this quarterback one after two weeks. That seems like it is borderline a guarantee. We've got a incorrect box on there if you're watching on TV right now. But Josh Allen over 40 fantasy points. James co-candles 100% of the bills carries. He finds the end zone over a hundred yards. Dalton Kincai and I want to get back to him, because to me, he's the story that's the big story here. I'm going to say Brown has two catches in the first half. Yeah, he finishes with 36 fantasy points because he had two catches for touchdowns in the second half. He was ridiculous. Lions garbage time all the way until the end. I'm going to draw Jared Goff goes for three 25 plus and four touchdowns. We mentioned him as a streaming start this week. Everybody, but Jamo was good. Let's talk about Jamo and Dalton Kincai. Let's get the fun part out of the way, because I said this to you guys in text last night. Like, I'm not certain that Dalton Kincai, isn't just like the best early season storyline, but maybe the breakout player of fantasy football for this year. It sounds ridiculous to say after 17 total games and just two weeks for the Buffalo Bills of the season. But unlike wide receiver, maybe even quarterback to a degree, running back in tight end, we don't have enough good players that when somebody seems to emerge as a guy that you can start as not just like a weekly starter, but a weekly difference maker is incredibly valuable. It was never a talent question with Dalton Kincai. He went the first round, the guy was a big investment by the Bills. They've told us year after year after year, he's primed for a big role. It's been about health and perhaps utilization in prior years, ironically, with the same play car that he has now in Joe Brady, but two through two weeks, he looks clearly like the Bills best pass catcher. And if Josh Allen is going to go full nuclear like he did for the second straight week last night, could Dalton Kincai quickly creep up into the tear that we were talking about, Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren occupying going into this. He's already there. I mean, I told you guys this before the shot, a tough decision last night in one of our leagues that were all in Tyler Warren versus Dalton Kincai and I knew I wanted a piece of this game. I had to have a piece. So it was close and I went Kincai and I'm feeling good about that going forward. I mean, he might be the preferred option over Warren going forward. You'll see Warren has the chiefs this week. So that was kind of tough. That kind of led me toward the higher scoring game. But no doubt. I mean, we're going to rank him what fifth next week. Maybe easy. Maybe I think in second. If brought power, I mean, I'm saying worst case like that's definitely where he belongs. And again, we need to stress this is not the past Dalton Kincai where he'd have a big game and then disappear because he was playing 35% of the snaps. He ran 26 routes in this game. And that was tied for the team high with Keon Coleman and Coleman, of course, got a big boost because DJ Morba is out. So this seems to be four real with Dalton Kincai. He's a feature target. He found the end zone. He could add two touchdowns. The one where Dawson nox scored had the defender turned his head the other direction toward nox and what it went to Kincai. Well, they were both wide open. So he isn't a great spot for a huge season. And I'm buying it. He is not. I said this to you. You texted us that it seems like the biggest kind of early season mover. I said, he's not a cell. This isn't a guy I'm looking to. Yeah, I'm not trying to move him. This looks like a legit top five fantasy Titan going forward. I'm buying it for sure. Okay. So before Daniel brings up Jamo, I feel like in some ways, like maybe one of the strongest demerits for the likes of James Cook and Dalton Kincai is I believe the Joe Brady. And I saw this in week one with Ben Johnson is going to have a little bit of like, we're going to make guys happy like Dawson nox might get two or three catches a game this season, but he designed that little play right there for Dawson nox to catch a one yard touchdown team captain Dawson nox, but very respected veteran. Yeah. That like that might take away at a couple of opportunities from Dalton Kincai, but not enough to dissuade me from feeling like right now. If Brock Bowers is out, there's a real chance that Dalton Kincai is tied in two in my week three ranks. But Daniel, let's talk about James and Williams. James and Williams is felt disappointing. First week, you love the nine targets. Actually, you love the amount of volume that he got there. But in this one, unfortunately, Jamo did not get on track. It was literally everyone but him. It felt like this is one of the things that we kind of talked about coming into the season was a lot of what we saw from the production of James and Williams last year happened after Sam LaPorta got hurt. We didn't really see him be the same guy that he was at his peak while Sam LaPorta was on the field at the same time. Now through the first two games, Sam LaPorta is looking good. That's awesome. Him and Drew Petzin and the way that they we talked about, you know, all the tight ends stuff that he loves to do. Looks great. It all feels like the odd man out in this offense that's going to be that guy that's going to have his weeks. I mean, because the thing is, it only takes three touches for him to have 19 fantasy points. The problem is with the way that it started now, it just feels like he's not the guy. He's the last one on the pecking order when you're talking about Gibbs and Amara and LaPorta at least when I look at it through the first two weeks. All right. So pros and cons here for the investment in James and Williams is that first of all, you probably weren't drafting him as your wide receiver to know in a 10 or 12 team league. If you're a little more patient at wide receiver, but he was probably your flex option in most cases. So you might have a little bit of flexibility to get somebody else into your flex for week three. The second of all, you signed up for the volatility and it's possible that Jamo has seven clunkers this year and you've just gotten two of the seven clunkers out in the first two weeks of this season. Do you rest on one side of the other positive or negative on I think he'll have better days. He's backing his matchup for this game. I think if you were to make going to the season, I think if you were to make a short list of like potential breakout corners in the NFL, first rounder from last year, no, Maxwell Hirston is year two starting now. He shadow Jamo in this game. So that could be a variable here. We don't know, you know, we don't know what level he's going to play out for sure. It's two games, but big fan. That's interesting to me because you think about Amara. He's moving around the formation. He's not. He when he was on the perimeter, Benford did shadow, but he was not. I mean, he was working. He was all over the place and Sam Porter. I mean, we're not super afraid of the bills, you know, linebacker situation right now. So, you know, he obviously had a good game as well and Alan or and, you know, Gibbs obviously had a huge game. So there could be something there. There could be something to that. But I think that the bottom line is Jamo's had back to back 1000 yard seasons. The offense is still putting up yardage, putting up points. He ran what 40 routes in this game. He ran two fewer routes in Amara in this game. He's still like core part of one of the best scoring offenses in the NFL. I would be patient here. We got a chat question. A YouTube question about Jamison Williams from Amy wants to know, should I drop Jamo already? I want to put Goff in jail because he's already forgotten about Jamison Williams. Guys, how do you feel? I mean, listen, Gibbs should be in jail, too. I disagree with that. He must be planning to give Jamie. Yeah. Maybe that's what it is. I think with Jamo, here's the thing. This is one of the tougher games on the Detroit Lions schedule for the entirety of the season. The Detroit has a really soft schedule this year. Are they even for the next 13 weeks? Yes. This is not a drop Jamison Williams situation. I understand if you're like, hey, like you were just talking about, I might be making a flex decision between Jamo and someone else. Maybe I roll with someone else if I like their matchup. But I know this is a mean tweet on the screen. You should watch the YouTube chat, by the way, if you're not. Anyways, yeah, I'm just, I'm still holding on to Jamison Williams. I think better days are ahead, but we are going to have this is the volatility that you signed up for as a part of deciding to roster Jamison Williams. Are we able to rebubble that that question from Amy, put it back up on the screen? Are we able to do that? Oh, but we can do that. I think it's hard to tell from this distance. So if we can't, I wanted to see something because I think that it was Amy's picture. Is that? look from a distance like maybe she's like visiting Disney. It looks like Disney in the background. Yeah, it might be, yeah, sure does. It looks like Amy's on vacation, taking a selfie, perhaps with family. And this is why I love fantasy. That's right. Is Amy who, you know, seemingly is a, you know, lovely human traveling with her family somewhere to see one of the beautiful sites of this world. After two weeks, once the put Jared Goffin jail, because he's not throwing the football enough to Jamie, cut James and William, sick hours like us. Yeah, one of us. Fantastic. Where was that? We think that is. Oh, there we go. Box for there. Box for the box. Updated box for there we go. So you saw the numbers right there. I mean, I'm on her. I had seven catches and two touchdowns in the second half. All right, DJ Moore, the last thing from this game, unless you guys want anything else is left early. Yeah, that's it. Do we, and the update from Adam Schefter is that not serious? Could miss week three. Yeah, when they play the Chargers, the point they came in Buffalo. Do you think there's a Bill's pass catcher not named Dalton Cade that will creep into your lineup next week? Probably Dalton Cade. No, I, I, I think, Keon Coleman should be a waiver at. Okay. Yeah, Lee, look good. He led them in routes. As I mentioned, he had six targets. He caught them all for 63 yards. He made some nice catches. It's a year three receiver that came in to lead pretty young. And maybe he's making a leap forward here. So, uh, and by the way, like he ran 26 routes. Keoleal Shakira was at 21, Josh Palmer, who caught that, I mean, broken play long touchdown. He only had just touchdowns. Like, Keon Coleman might be the number two in this offense now. So, and like it's, Keoleal Shakira's going to be a reliable target. But I mean, Coleman stepped in him as the guy here. That's too much for me. That's a step too far. I can't also believe in Keon Coleman also breaking out in the year. The Dalton Cade three years later also breaks out at the same time. I know. It's just so many things. I know it was. You know what though? I'm really happy for Keon Coleman. Yeah, me too, because the bills, the bills left him hung out the dry. And I'm sure that it was terrible. The owner, Terabagula, made some comments that frankly did no good to the team. That's true. To say publicly, yeah. I'm sure they were fed up with him for some reasons behind the scenes. But when you get in front of the microphone, bury those frustrations, right? Joe Brady immediately when he got the job came to the defense of Keon Coleman and said, I was one of the coaches that got on the table and said, we want Keon Coleman. So we'll see whether it sticks. DJ Moore is still the wide receiver one when he is healthy. Yep. Pump for Keon Coleman. Yeah. Well, again, if Moore is out next week, though, Coleman might be the number one receiver, like wide receiver. That's what I'm saying. Yes. So if you're the number one wide receiver, let's just say it's him and Concade, the one two punch at pass catcher in a Josh Allen lead offense. Yeah. I mean, he's going to be out. We're going to rank him as a flex, maybe a wide receiver three. So no doubt he should be a waiver ad. Imagine setting your makeup then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York. Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all day comfy grip. Try new grippy setting mist from Mavily New York. Maybe it's Mavily. Let's dive into our week two story lines part two. We're going to start with the dolphins 49ers. I don't understand. Everyone in the preseason told me not to worry about Devane. Including me. Then a champ finished week one with just 10 and a half things. And they trailed from literally 75% of the game. And last year he was top 20 in every single week of the season. Now in just one game with only Phyllis, he's already finished outside the top 12. But all of my ancient shares are going to be hooked. So what do you guys want to drive me to my colonoscopy? I really got to go. What? Well, what are you talking about, man? I'm so talk to confused. So ridiculous. What do you guys talking about? You know what we're talking about. Let's talk about dolphins in 49ers. Now we got some line of blocks on the screen. Brock Perty for sure, a lineup block. Christian McCaffrey also a lineup block. Mike Evans, that same squad, a lineup block on the other side. Devon H and Mike tells me is a lineup block in spite of my fear of what's going on there. Mike, I didn't see what I needed to see out of Malik Willis when they were trailing 75% of the game to make sure it wasn't just Malik Willis. It was the offense in general. Just not getting the ball on the hands of their best playmaker. You think it's going to get better here? Yeah, I mean, there was a low volume game. Uh, he had what 14 touches in this one. They said Jeff Hathley's already said unacceptable. They need to get the ball in his hands. Marry for that kind of stuff from coaches before, but I believe it in this offense because they have to. I mean, he is their guy. They're going to feed him a ton of, you would see fifth and rushing yards last year. We know what he could do in the passing game. And also, say we went about Malik Willis. We're still uncertain on this one, buddy. Average over eight yards per pass attempt in that game. And this is a guy that's been hyper efficient in the last couple of years. I'm not giving up on this just yet. And H and is still so good that yes, if you drafted him in the second round, maybe the end of the first round, you're locking him in. Okay, I'm noticing. And I'll adjust the ranks a little bit more each week if this continues. A couple of things here, though. The irony of Devon H and having an underwhelming workload in week one is not lost on me. Because do you guys recall this off season when Jeff Hathley went on the Rich Eisen show? And he's like, he's going to, I told him he better be in good shape. He's going to get 45 touches a game. One game in is like, I got to get more touches for the guy. It's rookie head coaches. I went back to India because I'm thinking to myself, the efficiency last week for Devon H and feels very outlier rich because one of the cases for Devon H and was that he's in a very efficient runner. Correct. Has been throughout his career. Yep. You go back to even last season and the ecosystem that we all felt better about. And even early in the year when the dolphins season had not been lost, he had a decent number of clunkers. Week two, he had 10 carries for 30 yards against the Patriots. Yes, it's fair to wonder whether there's as much upside because this offense even in a down year last year might not be as good as the offense we saw last year. I'm not ready to a completely abandoned ship here for Devon H and I agree with you guys. I am not abandoning ship after the first week, though, what allowed us to feel better about him being the elite running back that we saw last year was when he had those Russian clunkers, the receiving game worked helped elevate the rest of his value for us. But five targets is not a bad number. Yeah, that's what we seem to disagree and remember that you had 50 offensive snaps. His target share in this game was 19% it was target share was last year. What tell me 19% that's pretty good. Yeah, it's the same target share. Now again, they have to run more plays. Of course, it's going to be a variable here. So as long as they're efficient, like somewhat competent, playing, you know, 60 even get us to 60 snaps of game. If he keeps up a 19% target share and plays 88% of the snaps like he did in week one, the guy is going to be fine. All right, all right. I want to believe in you guys and I am trusting it for another week. Maybe another two weeks until we see Malik Willis. You got to give this offense enough time to see what it's going to look like. So we're not soon enough. We're going to have a three man board bet not amongst three of us. But Devon H&V's a V on Marnham. That's the V Christian McAfry. Yeah, there's going to be one gigantic snake board bet tough situation. You're going into San Francisco for sure after what they just say to the Rams. You would like to see some games grip work in his favor. Yes, could this be a 28 to nothing game at halftime? Yeah, fair enough. What are you taking in this one? I am taking 40 Niners. Yes, my hot take of the week. Oh, Niners. Oh, Niners go producers also deciding maybe to take the 49ers. All right, you guessed, but you guessed right. I did guess correctly on that one. Commanders and Cowboys coming up next. Cowboys got embarrassed by the Giants in week one, looking to rebound here. We got a number of lineup blocks as well. That's press got Jane Daniels. Javante Williams, CD Lamb, George Pickens, Terry McCloren. Love all of that. I don't see any running backs for the commanders on there. That makes a lot of sense. Mike, you know, they're not on there yet. But, you know, we had a lot of running backs. Situations going into week one that we were kind of very intrigued to see how they would shake out, right? We talked about Carolina, Jacksonville. We went through them, but Washington was one of those. And in some cases, we're kind of left like not really sure. You know, we didn't get much out of it. This one, I feel like Jacori Croskey, Mayor up a little bit. I feel a little bit better about his situation. Ranwell 16 for 63 and a touchdown against a very good Eagles defense. Had the snap edge. It was fairly even, but he played 33 snaps, 27 for Rashad White. But they were even in pass routes as well. And that is the big difference for Jacori Croskey, Mayor. He ran 14 routes in this game. He only had one target. But last year, he averaged 6.7 routes a game, and less than one target per game. And as I believe you pointed out several times, had almost nothing over the final month or two of the season. Six games, yep. Yeah, so that's a point in the right direction. There was a lot of chatter about that in the offseason. They get a more involved in the passing game. So is he a lineup lock? No. Is he a great flex option at this point? No, probably not, especially against Alice. I think they're, you know, the defense wasn't great. The opener gets a giants, but the run defense, I think will be better based on the personnel. But the bottom line is he belongs on. He's the one that belongs on Benches over Rashad White at this point. I would say, and he's at least flirting with the flex rate. Okay, I just want to say we went from is he a lineup lock? No, is he a starter this week? No, but he should be on your bench. Is where we ended with he's getting closer to being a. Potentially a solid flex option. I just don't think we're there yet. The good news is what I just laid out that it's headed the right direction Yeah, I think this would be an interesting conversation to have with a play collar or somebody that has been influential in designing plays in the past As you mentioned how he ran 14 routes to jacory krosky merit same numbers for shot white So I wonder if you go back and look at those 14 plays Like how often those were routes where it was like This is a route that is being run with the idea that this player could eventually be a target versus This is a route that is being run just to space things out and the only way the player actually gets the football Is if the quarterback is so far under duress that he just dumps it off correct I had to guess and I could be wrong But like most of the plays in which Rashad white was out there running a route or plays where there was a Greater likelihood that Rashad I would actually catch the football versus Jacory krosky merit is just like Whatever you just run right in a half circle Direction and if jaden is about to get sacked he'll throw it your way I feel like there should be a difference between like that safety valve route that you're not even really doing anything You're just in an actual route where you're part of the read like hey, you're the second read on this route I hear you and yes for shot white lean certainly towards passing situations But the reason for that is that krosky merit at 16 carries he had seven white at seven. Oh, I wasn't I wasn't getting I'm my point is just like if he's going to be the clearly ball carrier We'll take three targets a game like that's plenty that we don't need six It's better with with what you think the game script is going to look at this one's defond digs not a line of block But a potential flex tell you what there was some people some film people that were like this defond digs show that he was the best receiver for the commanders in week one We'll see throw it toward McClearn. I know. I mean he wasn't really utilized. We'll see. We'll see not a line of block But I think a flex consideration just want to throw that on like slowly pick up some steam here I was not questioning your bill crossed you merit take by the way my guy I just think it would be an interesting conversation with a play collar. Mm-hmm. Who you taking in this one cowboys or commanders? Didn't you use to call plays? I did okay and Seattle right? What Seattle? I call plays. Yes. What's it? Am I missing a joke here? What's the he looks like the guy who now is yeah if I was if I was bald the Seattle. Oh yeah, similar to each other taking the cowboys as well I am also taking the cowboys in this one. Alice back. It was weird that we're producers. Unified. Yeah. The cowboys are all in one as well Yeah, I think the cowboys are going to this is going to be a big game for them. All right, let's talk about Colts and Chiefs A number of lineup blocks in this one too John and the Taylor and Ken Walker two of the best running backs and football both top seven in our rankings Rashi rice wide receiver eight in spite of it disappointing week one against the Denver Broncos and Tyler warren still here at tight end four Even though Mike didn't start on me. Yeah, that's nice. It's not a line of block. I guess when you have Dawn concait He doesn't have to be who's not on this list. That's a question mark for us. Yeah, so I want to talk about two receivers One of actually that is on that list in Rishi rice because I think there's a little bit of panic after we saw him No week one the case starts with the fact that he was still he wasn't like a rotational player anything like that Nothing changed 84% of the snap. So he was a full-time player. He was out there a lot Yes, he just had two targets when they finally targeted him the first time in the game But it took a while because if you watch that game closely They snapped the ball and either handed it to Walker or immediately through the football to Xavier worthy or something They were just like we're not messing around with this we're not going down field I think they took like one shot to type one Thornton at some point Maybe one other was like a mid-range one to Travis Kelsey and he ran really far They just that was the game plan. It was very clear. But they threw the screen to Bryce He broke a tackle Riley Moss broke that tackle scored a touchdown in one additional target And he caught it. So I think it was a schematic thing and also it was a very low volume game for the chiefs It's not a surprise that they came out first of all against Denver, but also in Patrick mom's first game back and You know, kind of Walker the third first game there people love their new toys. Yes, they do save a history Just feature in those guys they did it with where she writes to and he got there. They got to give him the ball a hundred times Immediately only 27 pass attempts for the chiefs in this game That's the lowest in a Patrick mom starts since early in the 2024 season It's been a long time since they did not throw them any passes I know there was chatter about them being more balanced with Ken Walker there now I think that's going to change as the year goes on as the game scripts are more even of course But Indy Reed has been around a long time and that guy loves to throw the football They have the best one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL So I'm not really worried about where she writes I think he will be fine in a larger part of the game plans but starting this week probably against the Colts You caught yourself there because you were like wait Patrick the Holmes is the most accomplished quarterback. That's yeah, that's you guys watch Josh Alan last night That's about. Yes, I did we're not the right platform to debate who's the best quarterback in the NFL Patrick The Holmes clearly the most accomplished he belongs in the conversation at the very least for yes, yeah, agree By the way, you were saying like people love to show off their new toys Was that Tuesday? No, it was Wednesday when Mike after the pops like you guys come check something out Yes, like yes, it was when I look at how spacious the center console was in my new minivan Yes, he was so excited about it. So I have to fit four kids in there So there's a lot of juice boxes you had some clean x's yeah, you know, you have to be careful because like you could buy a Car with like a third row like an SUV, but then you do have like this much trunk space like yes Yes, I'm aware even bigger one I noticed you took out one of the back seats for the girls in order to put a little data center in there for your crypto I mean, I have to you put the self driving on and then I could sit back there and that makes sense That checks out that's dedication of the craft right there We did buy a new car this off season because we had our third child and it is amazing how this car is the size of a boat And yet we still have to go yeah, yeah, we had the third row SUV and also a roof rack I know vacation. We won't have enough space. We went away One just one weekend after the baby was born and we had to put my two toddlers on the roof It was bizarre like probably loved it though. It's great. It's great. That's great. Right Anything else left for this chief's cold-scale alipair's Not him not a line-up lock, but fellas. He might be soon He's certainly trending the right direction Played 58% of the snaps in that opener ran 21 routes. I was eight off the team lead of Josh Downs He was clearly limited in this game and yet But the team in targets yeah in area yards in receiving yards user productive pass catcher And he was limited in this game the big one for me is and this is what we This is what we talked about in the offseason. This guy has led the NFL and what yards per reception average up the target I believe yards per target as well or yards per route run each of the last two seasons Uh 8.7 average up the target in this game that is over Over half of what he where he was the last couple of years. Yep That's a good sign for me and what what it means is we're gonna have fewer explosive plays But more consistent fantasy output more catches that's huge in a ppr format. That's a good sign Some pause for this week. Remember the chief's just allowed 55 yards and 15 targets to Denver's wide receivers A good wide receiver room on Monday night. That gives me some pause and starting him here in a week too But going forward feeling pretty optimistic about Alec Pierce must win for the cults sure feels like it feels like that like about four Other teams. Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's tough going into Kansas City after I the way they played You know, you're just gonna have to battle back for mow and two. I think well we all expect to be all safe So I was gonna say I think we all took the cheese in this one. Yeah Vikings and bears Lot of lineup blocks for the Chicago bears in this one Caleb. Oh my gosh. It's literally the entire bear squad Caleb Williams Deandre Swift Luther Bird and Roma Dunes. I and Colston. Loveland if you have a bear You should be playing that bear probably the kicker as well. Maybe even it'll end up blocking this one And then Justin Jefferson the only one on the other side Feel I think this is your game, but I do want to ask Mike with Jordan Mason being placed on IR Did Aaron Jones move up into projections a decent amount again? It was a close call But I put him in the lineup block category. I feel like if you Drafted Aaron Jones in the middle rounds and without Jordan Mason This is a guy that might play 80% of the snaps in this game Much like Jameer Gibbs in Detroit where they just Like all right. We'll give Cione Vocky a handful of plays here or there It's the same kind of thing in Minnesota. Okay. You have Demon Clayborn who I don't even know for sure He'll be active six round rookie. You have the DJ Dallas who they brought in they like him a lot But this is a guy that I believe he hasn't had more than six touches in a game in five seasons like he's always been a special team or a rotational guy So there's limitations. I'll probably utilize him more in passing situations Jerome Ford's on the practice squad Yeah, yeah, he's had you know, he got plenty of run in Cleveland So I could see him kind of being the number two runner But we'll see how they how it shakes out but the bottom line is Aaron Jones I think it's going to be a featured rusher in this game Turn to DJ Dallas for a little in passing situations and it's going to be enough volume against a Bears defense It also struggled last week where he's going to be he's a lineup block. Can you do me a favor? Can you go on the espn.com and search DJ Dallas and let me know what you think of his head shot. I know it's hilarious Have you seen him for a day or no? No, I mean it makes me want to start him in fantasy That's All right, no one's gonna do it. See it. It's our secret Just none of you can pull up in some point you could just go ahead and just go ahead You'll listen and just look at your listening go check out DJ Dallas's head I'm gonna make you want to pick him up. I would not though I would not start DJ Dallas and fantasy over Aaron Jones should be locked in Yes, I think by the way one more thing like he's 31 He's not going to be a featureback like this all year long But I think they think probably we could do a month early in the season of Aaron Jones is a clear feature back If that's my expectation let's talk Chicago in this game and we'll get to the past catchers in just a moment But I think the biggest story clearly is Can Kelly Williams mash once again. Yep. We talked about this on Wednesday during the ranking show And this is a huge opportunity for Kelly Williams to kind of further cement himself is not just a fantasy starter But a fantasy starter independent of who the bears are playing that week They have played the Vikings four times and Caleb's very young career Of course they play twice a year being in the same division during the last three matchups Caleb has thrown a total of two passing touchdowns on 98 pass attempts. That's a lot of volume with not much pass game production. The challenge this week is so decidedly different from the challenge last week for Caleb Williams. Brian Flores is an absolute maniac. Now, so has Ben Johnson. It's too maniacs headbutting on Sunday afternoon. There's been plenty of charts that have shown this. I think I mentioned this on Wednesday, but if a team blitzes 50% of the snaps, it's like an astronomical number. I believe the commanders had the second highest blitz rate in week one at 50.9%. Their defensive coordinator, their new defensive coordinator, worked for the Vikings last year. The Vikings blitzed on 82% of the snaps last week's insane. It is insane. They are forcing you to win before the snap and most likely get the ball out quickly after the snap. So it's like mad in play calling, honestly, blitzed on 82% of the play. It is complete. You don't play calling. So if Caleb does it again against this real legit defense, I think the conversation I said this on Wednesday is that when Caleb is inside the top six or eight for quarterbacks during the week, we're not having a conversation about it in the same way that we don't talk about Josh Challenger, Jalen Hertz, Lamar Jackson. We just say, Hey, here's the quarterbacks. Jalen Hertz, quarterback four, whatever, you know, so and so Joe borrows quarterback five. We just move on, right? Caleb has a chance with a couple more big games, especially an opportunity like this to get to that level. His past schedule is our different story, not because these guys aren't very talented, but there is a world and we've seen this with other quarterbacks with lots of weapons where they all have upside. But it's not a guarantee that all of them will hit into given week. As a matter of fact, it's more likely that several of them are multiple them won't hit. Caleb was quarterback one last week and Roman doons a Luther Burton and Colson Lovelin and hindsight belonged on benches. So it's going to take more than just one game of one of those players playing really well for us to feel like there's the alpha in the bears offense. But the most important pass catcher in my opinion to get on track is Colson Lovelin. And here's the reason why I'm not saying for the bears success. I'm saying for fantasy success because Luther Burton, Roman doons a we were drafting those guys. What on the high end is wider see for 21 22. Yeah, right? Like borderline wider see for two threes. Colson Lovelin was being drafted as tight end three. Yeah. Right ahead of Tyler Warren, who was not great himself in week one, but we need Colson Lovelin to be a featured part of the bears offense, not just this week, but every week for it to pay off relative to investment. So I've got my eyes glued on number 84 this weekend for the year. To your point, you can be like, yeah, I have a case to like, I've another receiver. I could put it for a doonsay for a week or maybe even Luther Burton. Same thing, probably not a tight end unless you picked up concage, like you're probably just going to be like, no, I'm starting Lovelin again. Like I didn't even think twice about it. Like he's locked in. So yeah, you're right. He's the most important one to get going. But also very confident. He let them in routes, right? Last week. So yeah, he did. So I think they'll be okay. I'm going to play this out for a second in the war, which is a 16 team league. I drafted Devon Vale, whatever most have been around 10 or 12 or something. And after week one, I was like, dang, that's a nice pick right there. I might be able to parlay Devon Vale into something decent around a 16 team league. Yep. My team has three running backs. One of the third one is Taj A Spears. So I'm thin. I went around the league and literally everybody's thin because they're 16 teams, right? There's like 21 running backs that matter and not everybody, but several teams have like a decent fourth wide receiver or third wide receiver slash flex. There's just so many. Like if you have a Rumba Dunes a or a Lutherbird in the third, the chance that you also drafted a Devon Vale or name some guy that showed you something in week one that you could justify starting this week. A Jalen Koker much higher than I drafted Colston Loveland and now I'm debating Colston Loveland versus Hunter Henry in week two. That doesn't feel Jay Hawkinson. Yeah. I'm still. Yeah. I'm still going to be clear. Still going Loveland and and honestly still starting to dunes A and burden for the most part. I feel no, that's how they're not going to get just saying. Yeah. We're not going to get eight catches from Cleef Raymond anymore. Like we're done with that. We all agree though that Loveland is the one that the opportunity costs was most severe. Most severe. And I think because it was a legit goose egg from a guy that he wants to get involved. You're going to see a very heavy investment in Colston Loveland here this week. Who will we take in in this one my friends? Am I who you taking? I'm taking bears at home after that offensive performance. Give me Chicago bears for me as well. I'm taking the Vikings classic trapeze. By the way, we didn't mention this but we're assuming Carson wins probably for this week and then maybe a week next week for Kylin. It's the perfect trapeze. We're the bears point of the lines next week. No, they're not. This is a trap coming off of a 59 point game and collect down game. You didn't even play well to be honest. The bears are playing a week. Just saying. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all day, comfy grip. Just plump, Dewey hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York. Maybe it's Maybelline. Just saying all right. We're going to take a couple questions from our mailbag. But first, our buddy Eric Moody going to be available for everybody on Sunday morning. Fantasy focus Sunday kickoff. Oh, presented by Lowe's live on the NFL on ESPN YouTube page starting at 11.30 a.m. Eastern head on over to get your lineup questions answered. One of us will be hanging out with Eric Moody likely doing the show as well when we have some time in the break worth noting, by the way, the bears play Monday night football in week three against Mike's Eagles. Oh, that's going to be another tough defense. So to go from a Brian Flores defense to the Eagles to be very fascinating to see what Chicago does against Minnesota because if they like them up, the Eagles are in trouble. Heckblends wants to know, who do I start at the flex guys? Aaron Jones or Steph Diggs. Aaron Jones. I agree. I'm on Aaron Jones this week field. I'm Aaron Jones as well. All right. Run him into the ground this week. Agreed. I'm with you on that one. Next one. This one comes from yummy wants to know if loveland has another dud. What do we do? If he's on your team, I would say keep starting him. If he's on another team, you go try to trade for him. This is going to be a high scoring offense. We know that their defense isn't very good. One of the best young tight ends in the NFL. I hope he has another dud. So I can go get him. You can go get him from other people like this feels like an easy, easy move. I mean, the guy, remember how good he was down the stretch. I'm not over. I do. I'm not worried about this one. I am very much with you. I believe that this is even if he has a dud, you got to stick with the guy. Aaron Reynolds. I can't add my head around tealaw being ranked so low with the likes of wence love and willis when he was quarterback six last week. Someone please explain. Yeah. They're at Denver. That's why. Okay. That's it. I know that Denver might know that I know they went into. Yeah. Exactly. I know I know that Denver went into Kansas City last week. I'm homes out of fine game. But I mean, that's a tough situation against an elite defense. If my homes didn't have you take away my homes like rushing touchdown and he has 15 fantasy points. Yeah. And Lawrence could get a rushing touchdown. By the way, that offense has been electric since midway through last season. Jacksonville could go in there. Win play well. Lawrence could have a good game. It's possible. But for now, I'm hedging against that Denver defense this week. MJ six wants to know, should I start C Tate? Carnell Tate. Marvin Harris in junior or Mac Holland. Where guys it's week two. And we're already here. We're already here. We're already doing this. Carnell Tate. Carnell Tates the answer. I know it was ugly. He is silly. It's a tough defense. Yeah. Let's take a take here. Mac Collins. Mac Collins without AJ Brown is going to find the end. This is like a week 13 question, but here we are a week two already. I think it's Carnell Tate two, but I'm saying Mac Collins, watch out. Like I know how to do it, but everything. Yeah. I don't, I'm not even like mad about the question. Mac Collins might have a 20% target share and a drink may offense. I wanted to. Yeah, that's it's true. Fantasy football is the best virtual hug. Yeah. For you, Daniel. Did you know that after despite what's happened defensively for the past two nights, past two weeks, the lions are not underdogs in a game until they play in 2027. Every game. Wow. Well, January 3rd, 2027. We have a it's. Oh, I guess the Packers at Chicago and the bears. Okay. The lions are favored in every remaining regular season game as of right now. Well, that may change if that defense isn't start stopping someone, but at least there's hope, right, at safety, you know, especially if you get Brian branch back and that's right. That's right. That's going to be Joseph. Hopefully as well. Hustle. Great. Had a couple of good. I mean, if I, I mean, they have some good players there. It's just they need to figure it out, because it's it was, it's been pretty gross so far. Let's get around. Let's talk. St. Ravens speaking of a team that just lit up the lions. Saints looked to fantastic last week. Line of blocks in this one. Mostly Ravens. Lamar Jackson, obviously Derek Henry, obviously, Zay flowers. If he plays, I am thinking no. And by the way, we did agree on text yesterday that if Zay flowers is out, I can obviously amend my start of the week. Correct. We can have a Elijah bond daily. Yes. You can pick someone else from the team. Yeah. From the ride. Maybe Jacobi Lane's out. So we're shot Bateman. We'll give you him. That's going to have a shot of Bateman if you want. Yeah. Well, I'll even give you a chance to land on the other side of this watch. Yeah. On the other side, I haven't revealed those yet. My bad Travis HN. Not not a line of block. Mike. He's not because first of all, they're going into Baltimore. Tough situation in and the distribution of did someone want to talk about this? Am I stealing a spotlight? Oh, yeah. It's me knew. That's me knew. Yeah. I have five Tyler Shuck. That's why I was I just want to make sure I wasn't taking yours. Someone spotlight on this topic, but three man rotation. Yeah. Last week running back CJ Donaldson was up off the practice class. and took a chunk of what I assume will be Alvin Kamarra's role. Kendra Miller, they kept involved us a ball carrier and each and didn't do a lot in the first half of that game. Now Alvin Kamarra is is going to play in this game. So it's yet to be seen how they're going to distribute. What happens if they still want to get Kendra Miller six day carries and Alvin Kamarra's out there and passing situations. Each and really benefited. He didn't want nine targets in this game. A lot of that was in that comeback mode in the second half. And over time they ran a ton of snaps in this game. It inflated his numbers. But the playing time in the first half was worrisome for him. So I'm a little nervous about it. And it's not enough where I'm like auto bench, but it's enough where I'm like, all right, he's a flex. He's not a lineup blocker. I think that's a fair assessment. Oh, we end up all tomorrow agreed. And we mentioned Devon Valey, obviously doesn't make this list, but a name I think to keep in mind still, if he does something here in week two, we should talk about him potentially a little bit more. He's kind of the jail and co-quer of Saints, a great finish strong last year came out of the gates hot. It'll be so interesting. And this is perhaps self-serving to say this because I do have a chance in a couple of notable leagues, but it'll be like, what it will be an odd admission of money poorly spent if the Saints really don't lean into him after giving him a $52 million bag this off. Tell me about it. I hope it was just like, you know what, it's week one. Let's just take it easy. Smart. A lot of Camaro. Let's be smart of you know, some people do that. I mean, there was even like, you never know how coaches are going to do it. In fact, going into the game last night, I think Al Michael said that, uh, you know, it's a short week. They just played week one a few days ago. Jamir Gibbs probably will be rolled back a little bit and it was the opposite. He played like 80% of the snaps, but it could be the opposite. They could be thinking, all right, we'll just use him a ton this week in these off 10 days. So that's what happened there. You don't really know, but hopefully that was the case with A. Chan. Cause it was, we were like CJ Donaldson. This is that's a name no one knows how to know where that's getting reps and fans like scoring fantasy points. We're like, who is this guy? Tyler Schuck threw for over 400 passing yards and had three touchdowns. Mike, you projecting something similar again this week. Yeah, just remember his numbers very, I'm not, uh, his number is very inflated by volume. He had 56 pass attempts in the comeback and over time, 410 yards, three touchdowns had two interceptions in this game and a fumble and just and a fumble. Uh, but if you look at, there's two things that stand out here, his efficiency, 7.3 yards per attempt. It's a hair overly gaverge and also his exact YPA from last season. And his rushing, he had four carries for eight yards. And he did run a little bit more last year, but that's a little concerning. And also we said it was a good matchup. Yeah, we moved, we moved him up our ranks for that matchup against a lion's defense. We thought we'd struggle a little different this week. You're going in Baltimore, which is tough in its own right, but also, uh, the Ravens allowed the fourth few of fantasy points and weeks one week one to the opposing quarterback. So, uh, we expect that to be a very good defense tough spot here for, uh, Tyler shock. So he is not a starter for me. He belongs on benches for the time being. All right. Unfortunately, even though I loved him in week one here against Baltimore's going to tell of his spots where he's like, you know what he feels like? He's like stream when the matchups are right. All season sort of guy, especially if we see this team keep growing as a, you know, we're excited to see what the offense looks like. Who are you taking in this one? Ravens or Saints? Ravens. Yeah, Ravens. Yeah, me too, Ravens. Sorry to our producer Addison. He was a big-time Saints fan. Can't do that there. Seahawks and Cardinals, my friends. Here we go. Two rookie running backs facing off against each other and surprised. Neither one of them are line-up locks. Jackson Smith and Chigba and Tramick Bride, two of the best players in fantasy football. Yeah. Conversation here, those guys is the both of the rookie running backs. Jeremiah Love and Jadariah and Price. I think this might be a mic topic. Yeah, it is. Uh, you know, in the offseason, it was like the cool thing to say was like, I think, uh, the cost of take was, well, no, just like, I think Jadariah and Price is going to outscore Jeremiah Love this season. That was a very popular take. So here we go. We get to see him head to head. We'll see, uh, which way, which way it goes. Um, I'm leaning towards Jeremiah Love. But guys, at least for this week, I have them back-to-back. I love a 21 price at 22 in my rankings. I was, this was before we pulled the guys out for Thursday night football. Um, Love, again, he is going to be limited a little bit. This is exactly what I thought was going to happen the first month of the season. So this is not a surprise at all. I was out snapped by nine by Tyler Algern week one. Algern the edge and carry 17 to 11. Love had the edge and passing situations. I had four targets in that game as well. In addition to the 11 carries. And of course, scored the touchdown and past the eye test. I mean, I don't want to get a future, you know, well, you don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to look at the bus. I mean, you have fantasy point totals. That's all I look at. Yeah. So, uh, look, tough situation going into our, they're at home, but they're playing Seattle. Obviously a very tough match up here. I expect limited volume. But probably in the range of little more than last week, maybe 15 touches. So it's enough for me to make him a borderline RB two. And the other side, your guy, generic and price. Obviously split the backfield with George Hollani last week. We'll see if his role expands. He was their lead ball carry, ran the ball well. But there wasn't a lot of volume for them in that game. So, uh, same thing. I think they're both borderline RB twos for this week. The only reason why it hurts my heart is because Jedi and price has a nice match up against the Cardinals and he's running back 22. And the only reason watching my love is at 21 is because he's taken on Seattle. And there's a potential time share there. But excited to see what those both, both of those guys look like there. Field, what are you watching in this game? Roll evolution for Jari and price is huge. Uh, I think I'm going to have to keep asking this question every time this name comes up. Okay. Is it over for Marvin Harrison, Junior? Feels I'm not there yet. I just, I can't get past the fact that, yes, we had a bad week one. But those four games last year, I can't get out of my head yet. I'm not there yet. I want to see if he, if it's another game where it's terrible and he's not targeted, then maybe, but again, he outscored Wilson and all four of those games last year in this, in this circumstance. I can quit him. You're good. I can quit. You're done. Marvin Harrison, you might be, might be over. Yeah. Do we have to do like, I'm okay. Ben, break up ceremony at some point on the show. Oh, he's wide receiver 47. Yeah, when you say that, do you mean like we're cutting him loose or he's a bus in the NFL or we're not starting to tell you what, do you know what I mean, Mike? These are the wide receivers I would consider starting over. 30 game sample size now from Marvin Harrison, junior and his NFL career. Not huge, but also not nothing. That's not nothing. He has over 20 fantasy points and three of them. It's 10% of his games. Not good. That's, but that's like 20 plus is what you're looking for when a guy was the fourth overall pick in the draft. And more than double that number of games in his career, he has under five PPR points. He has seven games with five or fewer fantasy points in his career. And if you want to say, all right, well, can I get to like average in those other games? Not so fast, my friends. In 16 of his 30 games, he has under 10 PPR points. He's a better bet for his career so far to be under 10 than over 10. And he's a much better bet to be under five. And over 20 is an incredibly difficult matchup. Yeah. He had 4.3 points last week. It just feels like for whatever reason, this just feels like it's going down the Kyle pit's path. Yeah. That's where I keep landing. Oh, it's Kyle Pits had actually had a good rookie. I mean, I guess they had similar rookies. Yeah. But like, there was a limitation for for Kyle Pits, which is he didn't score touchdowns in America as a rookie. Yeah. I hear you literally. The one thing I will say, though, is most of what you just laid out was with Kyler Murray. And it was obviously not going well between those two because again, this production did pick up in his four games, which is the I test. The I test is not great. That's what has been nervous as well. Is it like the I test isn't great? The efficiency isn't great. The volume isn't great. The box course isn't great. Box course, thanks. So I hope that it's not over yet. I had a buddy asked me this morning. He's like, can I can I salvage things with Marvin Harrison Jr. And I was like, you can, but I don't think it's happening this week. So we are not fading. I agree. Bench this week, but hold on tight for now. We are waiting for the post hype sleepers. Yeah. I don't think anyone's going to trade for him either. So I don't think that you're not dropping it. I'm starting him. He's a, he's just a prototypical. You draft an invention for this week. And we'll see. Yep. Until further notice, I am taking the Seahawks in this game. Seahawks. Yeah. Same thing in the Seahawks here. Although, hey, like go carnels. That'd be cool. Cool story. Wait a minute. Sorry. If they, if they pull this off. Beat the chargers. Oh, that'd be sick. First two weeks of the season. All right, Bengals and Texans, my friend lineup blocks in this one. Chase Brown, David Montgomery, Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Nico Collins. Yeah, we're keeping an eye on that one. He belongs in lineup blocks because if he plays, you're starting him, but we're watching that hamstring. He is obviously very questionable for this game. So him and Lat rad McGronke are two of the biggest wide receiver injuries that we are monitoring. Yes. Very dicey. Yes. Both very dicey will update the rankings by Friday afternoon if they are declared out. I think we asked this, you asked this question yesterday, but just because not everyone listens to every show. I want to ask it one more time. Do either of you, if Nico Collins doesn't roll, do either of you have a Texan that you would throw in at the flex at the wide receiver spot? I don't think I would go that far. Keisha and booties generating some hype. They want to get him more involved in a second game at the team. So if I had to pick one, I'm going with him over Xavier Hutchinson or Jalen doll. It's where I land as well, but I wouldn't feel great about it. He's been there for a month. The big question in this game, though, to me, separate from Nico Collins, of guys that we either normally would start when healthy or when somebody else is not healthy, they would step into a role. Joe burrow is the question mark for me. Joe was fine, not great, but fine in week one for fantasy purposes. I know week one doesn't suggest this, but he does face off against the most difficult matchup I believe we'll see all season, which is the Houston Texans. So what I did was I grabbed some low hanging fruit and I ignored last week and I looked at the stats just involving last year for the Texans. Okay. Last year, the Texans ranked first in yards allowed per game, second and points per game, second and pressure rate, third in the total red zone drives allowed, fifth in yards per play, sixth and third down conversion percentage. No quarterback had even 21 and the one fantasy points against the Texans in 2025. These quarterbacks. Max had under 10 fantasy points. Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, all those guys really good. Joe Burrows is a hurt right now. Joe Burrows dealing with back soreness. I know that Joe Josh Allen went nuts last week. I told you I've ignoring that one by design. Um, we can't just give one stat. Go for it. Yeah. Houston Texans are allowing over 35 fantasy points to every quarterback they face in 2026. I have a stat too. What is it? I should have teed this up as a check this out. I completely missed a boat. I don't think we're ready for it, but I have a good one for you. So I'll just make it a trivia question for you guys. Let's see how close you get over his last seven games during weeks one and two. So we're counting last week and then the prior three seasons. How many fantasy points per game is Joe Burrow averaging? And one and two slow start. Joe, 15.4. I was going to say 14 and a half. So that's close. 10.6. Wow. 10.6. Guys, he isn't scored 19 fantasy points in a week one or two since his rookie season in 2020. No way 14.2 per game in his career in weeks one or two. It's a real like his slow starts are a real thing. And he wasn't that I mean, last last week, even in 20 rushing yards, he had one touchdown, one pick 254 yards. I wasn't a good fantasy game either. So Mike and I are team Fadeboro here. We're at 16 and 17. You're at quarterback 12. So you're closer to being on the edge. I mean, it's I think for me, it's still that while it's Joe, bro, no, I don't want to start him this week. Um, but I still believe that with Joe, bro, having the talent around him that he does, even though he doesn't have the legs, he has the people chase Brown, T Higgins, Jamar chase that he's just got more weapons at his disposal. Leave me a little bit more lift. But no, I don't want to start Joe, bro. I don't want to start any quarterback against the Texans every quarterback that I have because he was quarterback 13 before last night. And then I pulled out Josh Shalen. I will not have a quarterback probably against the Texans. It will be a top 12 back the rest of the season. Josh Allen was the only guy. He is such an alien. Um, we mentioned Jared Goff is like, Hey, if I had Jared Goff, he's a V Joe, bro, we said in the show yesterday, like I'm turning Jared Goff. No doubt. I think you think he gets off to a slow start because weeks, one or two, still like a lot of media stuff. And he's like practicing his autograph for something like, like this guy is right here. Sometimes when I get bored, I wasn't going to bring it up. I was drawing tick-tack toeboards earlier. And then I was practicing it. Yeah. Yeah. I was actually joking. I didn't realize that's actually what he was doing. Checktack toe on over here. I played a game against myself. And then that's how a little east pain. Did you win? I did. Yeah. You did. I smoked metaphorical Mike. Oh, man. So I can make 10 funny jokes. And Mike has no reaction. And then I can sit here doodle for a guy tries to practice his signature. I know. Guys over here writing checks to pay for his groceries every once in a while. I was going to make a gigantic donation with all my fantasy. That's it. Mike's boat fun. A big check. Not gonna have field field made a joke in the group chat today with everyone. And there was just. Oh, it was great. It's fantastic. It was a fantastic. It was really funny. No, you didn't say anything. No one said anything. I missed it. Who are you guys taking in this one? The Houston Texans or the Bengals? I'm taking the Texans too. I love it. Love being on an island. I guess you're expecting a low scoring affair then if you're not. I didn't hear what you said. I'm too busy working on my signature. So let's do our starts of the week, my friend. Weak two starts of the week. As a reminder, unfortunately, field lost week one mostly because of course in loved ones. Unfortunately, we all lost. Yeah, actually, we did all lose. Thanks for that. We all lost like three times. You're a terrible wheel spinner field. I don't want to get tattoos for all of us next week. Why don't we start with you because you lost. So we'll give you first pick and we will allow you to show your lineup. All right. Here we go. Back tattoos coming next week. Back tattoo is coming next week. We have agreed. We agreed offline that Mike's going to be permanent. Yes, sure. Permanent tattoo. That's what it is. It feels autographed right here on that one. Oh, my God. Significant other. Oh, that's a good idea, actually. That is a good one with Sharpie. Mike's significant other indicated to us that she thinks a henna tattoo. Yes, would be reasonable. Yes. Okay. And Mike could pull it off. Okay. I think so too. I think so too. Have you ever had a henna tattoo? I have not. Oh, Michael. That's what it is. You never been to a rent fair. Are we doing all of our significant others? Is that what we're putting on? Is that our 10? How many significant others do you have? No, no, I'm saying each of us each of ours. Oh, oh, I was like, I'm only allowed to have one. Do you have? Okay. Anyways, let's do our starts of the week before this gets a new rock. We're all troubled now. All right. I had first picked this week. And I went on a show. It's okay. Yours might rock. Party is my quarterback this week. My quarterback three inner expenses. I'm stole from my click. DeAndre swiped my running back. You had a monster week last week. Zay flowers. Penciled in as my wide receiver. Okay. If he's out, and I guess I sort of spoiled this earlier on in the show, I will be pivoting. Mike and Daniel have agreed to allow me to put almond on St. Brown. That's weird. I don't remember that. We did not. It'll be somebody else who hasn't yet played. And Isaiah likely is my tight end. This is one of the benefits of being able to have the very first pick because Brock, pretty against my Emmy felt like this is like the best match up. This is the right. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. All right. For me, I'm going to go at quarterback spot. I'm buying into week two. My friends, Justin Herbert. If it doesn't happen here, I'm not going to use him any of the rest of the weeks this season. So I thought why not use him here against the Raiders felt like the right week at the running back spot going with Javante Williams, hoping that he gets a little bit of run here. And then Mike Evans. Hey, Brock, pretty does some things. Hopefully he's thrown to my old man. Mike Evans out there. And I am a minor stack going. I believe I knew you were going to go that route. I could already tell. And then there's no way that Colson Loveland does it again. I've already promised me if he goose X again, we're going to pull him from the ESPN game completely. Yeah, we can do that. So we're going to create a new player called Daniel Dopp. That's it. You can add him instead and get a zero either way. How dare you? I would dare you. But Colson Loveland is my tight end. All right. Mike, who are you going with? All right. I'm going with a Dak Prescott at home against the Washington commanders. Yep. I feel pretty good about that situation. David Montgomery is my running back. I was. I wasn't sure about this one coming up to three touchdown game. A lot of Monty talked this week. Yeah. Yeah. There is. I was so mad that you guys talked down about Monty. And then you drafted him before I could. I did. That was a tough call, but I went with him since an ad. I think he'll be plenty involved. And this one, Garrett Wilson is my guy. A wise surprise. Good opportunity to utilize him against the Packers and go with some guy named Travis Kelsey. Have you anyone heard of him? I've heard of him, Jason's kid brother. For, yeah, for how much like we, how little we've talked about him all offseason. It's like that he's by far the biggest name and well-known name around the world. I guess in the NFL. So kind of wild. But yeah, just that, you know, underrated, just chipping away. Old guy Travis Kelsey at tight end. Why is he so well-known? I don't know. Has any, did he marry someone? Was the most famous player in the NFL? Travis Kelsey. That's what you show. Travis Kelsey married. Why a missing zone Taylor Swift breaking news. Wow. You guys didn't know that. No, I didn't know that. I've heard it. Sometimes I know. Wow. All right. Let's take a few questions from our chat before we get out of here. Maddie Randams wants to know all you guys are in the dog house when you get home. Mostly it's Mike. Mike got us there for what it's worth. I said one thing. You misinterpreted it in a weird way because I don't know your mind. That's you're the problem. Okay. I have the problem. Yeah. Uh, Yami Raw wants to know is Bateman, a top 12 wide receiver. If Zayda's in play, would Rashad Bateman even. Look, Jason Bateman. Yes. Rashad Bateman. No. Wow. Jason Bateman rules. Jason Bateman, but not Rashad. Absolutely not. Um, field. Help me out with this one. Cole Clegg Horn. Bam. Nailed it. Nice. Guys. Should I start Parker Washington? Jeremiah love or Isaiah likely in my two flex spots. First to full PPR. Parker Washington. Jeremiah love or Isaiah likely. I think in the CS. I agree. I think so as well. I love Isaiah likely, but I think I would, I would roll with both the wide receiver and the running back just having a little bit more upside there as well. Justin started at tight end. We go on Fanon or Sadeep Harold Finn. Yeah, we're not there yet. He had the cool touchdown last week, but the jets are legitimately playing five Titans right now. Yeah, they need to up his, up his playing time. And that'll happen at some point, but it's Fanon for now. Next one, Wild Bill reviews wants to know what he reviewed. Oh, that's right. We never did. Josh Downs are Jordan Addison, guys. Josh down here. I think so. Yeah, we do. By the way, we'd like to take this moment. We're going to do one more question before we do that, though. Mike would like to take this moment to apologize to one of our listeners for something he said yesterday on the show. Oh, no, I'm not real at our Andrick. Yeah, he followed me on Instagram. Yes, for real. Yeah, nice. Big time. You found out why am I in my commentary? I don't know for sure what his name is. There's no way to know. Realtor underscore Andrick, but maybe it's still Andrick. It could be. Tell me there's no way to know. I stand by it. Realtor Andrick. I apologize about this. It'd be hilarious if his name was actually like, I was decay. That would be something. Yeah, that would be good. Until until I hear otherwise. One last question, my friends. One last question from our chat. Or that was the last question. Never mind. That was a joke. What do you guys plan for the weekend? Yeah, say that again. What do you plan for the weekend? Football. Nice. Same. Yeah. So you all then to be honest, my wife Rosie turns 40 on Monday. So I am going to be gone. She's got a whole girls weekend plan. I'm not going to be here on Monday. Yes, Liz Losa is going to take over for me. So I'm going to go celebrate her birthday. Oh, taking shows off. Sure. Yeah. You know, you haven't done enough. It was off yet. Mike. All right. That's going to do it for us, guys. We love you so much. Thank you for hanging out with us.
