It is Monday, September 21st. Our week two wrap-up show is upon us. We have not our normal crew today. It's the great, The Venerable Liz Losa is sitting in for Daniel Dopp. It's Daniel's wife's birthday. Happy birthday to Rosie Dopp and Big thanks to Liz, and now with us today. Happy to be here. I've been here since Saturday, and I've been up for a little bit, and what a day of football did we have. Wow. Why are you smiling when you say that, because I wasn't smiling at all yesterday. I wasn't smiling, but I did get to experience the war room, which I have yet to do this season, and that is always an enlivening experience. We had this very high scoring week one, and relatively clean injury slate, and then week two was like, "That's so fast, my friends. As we are going to do every single Monday, we will begin our game by game. Recap. One of us will take the lead on a game. The others will fill in any potential missing pieces." And of course, we start with Liz Losa, and we're to start with an injury of note in DC. Yes. Now there's a buzzer on this, so I have to be rather concise. If you run like Michael, I'm out of time. Next game. All right. Sanders Cowboys matchup, commanders fell 20 to 37 at Dallas. Biggest news obviously is that Jaden Daniels was carted off the field with an elbow injury in the last play of the first half. This is the second elbow injury for him on that same elbow. This stunk, man, like the energy completely deflated from the war room, from the field. He had sadly also rushed for 69 yards up until that point was looking a little vintage. We had seen shades of that in week one. There seemed to be some momentum going on. He had also connected with Stefan Diggs on a four yard touchdown before exiting. Let's talk about Diggs for a second. Oh, Adam Schaefter also telling us that today's X-ray on the elbow showed no fracture. So that's good news. I will have to monitor that situation moving forward, but obviously it doesn't feel great neither did his O-line's reaction. I'll leave other people to debate that. And Stefan Diggs though, a bit of a homecoming as we discussed at the top of the season. He accounted for both of the teams touchdowns, actually, one via the aforementioned Daniels and the other in the second half after Marcus Mariotta took over for him. Proving to be quite an excellent acquisition for the team. Six targets, however, were tied for the second on the team with Rashad White. It was Terry McClaurren who actually led the team and looks, he managed to draw nine. But it was not particularly efficient with his opportunities only converted two of those for 50 yards. This is my favorite player in the league. I've decided. I love Terry McClaurren, favorite player in the league. Very apprehensive about his fantasy prospects and moving forward though. Two does start the season. It's not great. Not great. Should we move to the Cowboys and the ball of all the hype around him too in the off season? I know after getting paid at the end of the beginning of last season too. The only thing I'll say before move on from the commanders is that not so fast on giving this job to Jacori Croskey Marit in the backfield. Excited. That's not Ed for Rashad White, Rashad White, 53.7 to 34.3 from Croskey Marit. And more importantly, six targets, six catches for Rashad White, just one target, which is not an atypical number for Jacori Croskey Marit, but wasn't efficient enough as a runner. Not going to see enough volume in the passing game. More than anything, this feels like a stay away backfield. Yeah. I agree. He had six catches that Rashad White, JCM ran seven routes. Not great. Not going to cut a big change from week one. I know. You and I have both big on bill coming into this week, especially with the match up. Can we talk about the Cowboys? It's very loud. Okay. Back to you. So, no question in this contest, who is the Cowboys wide receiver one? It was something we debated heading into the season. In a CD lamb, he bested his five catch outing versus the Giants in week one. He converted eight of a team high nine for over 150 yards, two touchdowns got fantasy managers, 35 fantasy points. That's going to be like the wide receiver, too. I believe heading into Monday night football, he capitalized on a favorable match up. Dak Prescott speaking of dominating. He was sharp in this effort. He completed 84% of his passes for 279 and four touchdowns ended up with nearly four fantasy points. Jake Ferguson also showed up. He was on the receiving end of two of Dak's touchdowns moving forward. I think this is going to be an exploitable match up for tight ends. Dallas Goddard managed to touchdowns against the commanders in week one. So just something to keep an eye on moving forward. And they go to Brazil, I believe they do. Yeah. Just keep an eye on linebacker. Frankie Lovoo has been out. So that's probably going to affect your tight ends a little bit. That's the only thing I'd say. We'll monitor that. But yeah, you're right so far. So good for tight ends. Biggest thing from the Cowboys, other than what you talked about because they're like maybe one of the chalkiest teams right now fantasy football. You know who to start and they generally pay off is a slow-ish star compared to last year from George. Yep. So we'll discuss pick and prospects going forward later on this week. Liz, we're going to give it the same the next game as well. The Vikings at your bears. How are you doing emotions wise this morning? I will say that. I don't know. There was a lot going on and I'm still processing. It was a it was a messy game. Obviously, the weather had something to do with it. Vikings obviously won nine to three. This was. It sure is dual. You know what I thought? Last time saying this, but like under my breath watching that game, the stinking madden cover curse. It was the only thing I could think about. But I it wasn't like a convincing effort before Caleb Williams. Right. I heard the rain notwithstanding very, very messy effort. In fact, here's a stat. I pulled the bears experience the largest drop off in points from one week to the next since the 1920 Rochester Jefferson. Yeah. I remember that. I was going to say. I literally won my fantasy matchup that second week because they were so good. The week prior. You look so good for having been born over a hundred. Yeah. You look fantastic. That's weird. You didn't say it to me. Well, I don't know what his skin routine is. I already know that you're like a new Regina girl. Anyway, um, Brian Flores really did dial it up. Neither Roma doons a Luther burden or God has helped me, Colston Lovelin cleared 45 receiving yards in this effort. It was Deandre Swift who as a reminder is the teams running back that led in receiving yards with 54 guys. I'm at a loss. I don't know. I don't know what to say. I know what to do. Yeah. Well, a new quarterback. Now, at least for a short amount of time. It looks like quarterback that grew in end zone. Look at Colston Lovelin's feet in the end of the fourth quarter. And I also quarterback that hasn't played regularly since three years. Yeah, he had that one starting is the chargers on Sunday night football a couple of years back. The Tyson Bader games he played. Yeah. But it wasn't that great. Zero yards per attempt. So that could hurt this offense in the short term. Luckily, though, it looks like hamstring, not something more severe, four-cala blames. So this might be a short term injury, but we have to adjust this drama for just a hamstring injury. No, it's not my job. I know it's not my job to say that, but like I am relieved that's a hamstring injury. And yet it did look way worse than it turned out to be, which is always good news. You know, relatively speaking. Yeah. The 10/07 Eastern time vibes or that this might be something that's more like the couple to a few weeks range as opposed to maybe the entire season. It looked bad. Just take away from this game. There are some reasons to discount a lot of what Minnesota did. They went in there and they basically said, we're going to find a way to grind this one out with our defense and the weather is going to help us. Aaron Jones played a ton of stuff. Great. Yes. 80 plus percent of the snaps. Isn't that great? He had zero targets there in Jones, but he got 23 rushing attempts. So I think he probably creeps into that. He stays in that low end RB two strong flexion iteration until Jordan Mason. Yes. This is a four week deal with Aaron Jones. I think we're they're just going to throw it all at him and then let him come back and then a little while. Well, he didn't draw a look though. He did run 11 routes. DJ Dallas, if people are just looking at the box score, did see one target. He only ran three routes. So just an idea of what he passed the tension with them being ahead. This game did not go gamescript wise how he thought we thought Chicago would get some, get some points. Yeah. Score maybe one touchdown. That would have been nice. You're right. Fail to score. Fail to throw a single touchdown. And Jefferson, Justin Jefferson was like fed ish. Yeah. Well, he's 40% target. Yeah. 30% target share. He'll be fine. He was three for 55 in the first half. Of his six. Yeah. I'm less concerned about the Minnesota stuff. The bear is independent of the Caleb William stuff, independent of the weather. Like, we got to get these pass catchers going in a major way. All of them. All of them are amongst the biggest early season busts. No doubt about it. Like Roman Dunesay, Luther Burton, Colson Loveland, none of them have come anywhere. We're close to paying off close to value. I mean, I guess if you're like a Luther Burton manager, you're like, well, I mean, I could have 1.3 total fantasy points from Colson Loveland over two weeks. It's just been awful. We thought this bear's offense would be very good. I have optimism. It will be once Caleb Williams returns, but we need to be really good and featuring the guys. I mean, where does your optimism come from though? Score 59 points. Yeah. Talent. Yeah. And Johnson, I think we'll get it together. The problem is Caleb is out this week and you're playing the Eagles, really tough matchup. It's going to be hard to rank those guys, particularly at least for a week or a year. The bears also kicked themselves in the shin at the goal line. yesterday Deandre Swift fumbles on the one each line. They also had a missed feel goal early. Let's move forward here. Eagles and Titans, Mike, it is all yours. This game was played at volcanic temperatures in Nashville. Yeah. And the Eagles tried to blow this one a few times, just like they did in Washington the week before, but Jalen Hertz impressive drive toward the end there. Davante Smith had a huge game 10 for a buck 17 and a touchdown. The Eagles pull out the win 2420. Big news here is certainly the injuries on the Eagle side. We'll start with Saquon Barkley. He went down early, didn't play the whole rest of the first half. Then came back and just kind of played spot snaps in the second half. At least, at least gives me hope that he, they're going to, he's going to, he's going to, he's scheduled for an MRI today, but gives me optimism. That'll be okay for next week. We'll keep an eye on that throughout the week of tank. Big speed is on waivers. You could scoop him up, but still think it's worth it waiver waiver. Yeah, I mean, yeah. And you guys will discuss that tomorrow on the waiver show, but we'll shiply was heavily involved as well. So a big speed not going to be, I don't think like a lock and load RB 2 by any means, but could be on the flex radar. Again, big speed is the priority there, but we're going to keep an eye on Barkley. It shouldn't be too long if he misses any time. The one that could be is Dallas Goddard. He goes down in this game. This doesn't come back at all. We'll see what happens with that one. He has a history of missing multiple games per season. So it's really unfortunate. Especially as Liz pointed out he had a good week one. So monitor that throughout the week, not a lot of, not a ton of people were drafting to be their starter. So this one might not move the needle too much, but again, something to monitor. Again, Devon T Smith, locked and loaded as a borderline wide receiver one with a huge game. And you guys back here. You're guy Devon. Yeah. Yeah, five for 74. He is flirting with the flex radar. The reason why he's able to do that, I think, is because Makai Lemons. Nothing, nothing to be seen there. He's a bench guy. You hope at some point he is rolling. Crease is just one catch so far. I think that's it from the Eagle side. Tight inside nothing. Nothing. I mean, who's starting like a wide receiver? The wide receivers are a mess. The only wide receiver over 35 yards in this game is Alec Aomander, who by the way was stealing snaps from one Dale Robinson in this game. Absurd. I mean, Cardinal T can't get going. He was the only Titan over three targets. He had five in this game. So Tony Pollard ran fine. He's still in a committee. By the way, Taji Spears. Is he the fastest guy in the league? I mean, that's the point I was about to make. Yes. Yeah. They got to find a way to get them on his hands more. Every time he touched it as an Eagles fan, I was nervous because he was so explosive. They got to get him the ball more. But right now, this is a situation to avoid. I don't think we could trust even tape or Wanda. And Kim Ward accounted for both of the team scores, which came by the ground. Also irritating. Yes. If you're invested in Titans, yes. In 10 team leagues, there's not a single Titan that I think is we're starting right now. In 12 team leagues, I don't think there's a single Titan we're starting right now. We'll see in deeper leagues where things get really desperate in a hurry. But Tennessee, my note for them on my full one page here was just a big X all the way through the box score. Nothing. There's no Titan. I want to be starting right now in fantasy Eagles. They just a wins machine. Mike. I don't know how they do it, but they find and I don't think it needed to be though. I know that's what makes them pick them, but schedule is very light this year. So you know, they might be able to chip away, but when they have a tough game, we're going to find out about this team. The Texans haven't grinded out any wins so far this year. Liz, they're oh and two the bangles two and oh, sort of the reverse of what they have been too frequently under Zack Taylor, which is slow starters 20 to six good business like win down in Houston. Yeah, it was nice to see Jamar chase bounce back for fantasy purposes. How good is that guy? Incredible. I mean, both of Joe Burrows touchdown passes went to Jamar chase on highlight worthy grabs turns out he is in fact him. T Higgins also, I think we need to mention because he led the team in targets with 10 he caught half of those for 95 yards. He is averaging an impressive 19.3 yards per reception over his first two weeks of 2026. So I feel like T Higgins on any other NFL squad would be a wide receiver one and he tends to get buried because Jamar chase is just so elite. I was also really impressed with Chase Brown, who maybe didn't post giant fantasy numbers, but did have a productive outing in real football in a tough matchup. He touched the ball 23 times for 82 screaming yards. I think I was with 15 fantasy points only in RB two in fantasy for this week, but locked in obviously is an every week start. Joe Burrow also entered the contest mic. I believe you had questions about Joe burrow and his health, particularly in whether you were going to downgrade and when we were talking about the issue on FFC entered it banged up still proved to be serviceable for fantasy. I'm 16 point. Yeah, I think he was in a middle of the patch. Yeah. We'll travel to Pittsburgh in week three. Any other notes before I move to Houston's side. No, pretty pretty status angles are like the broad cowboys. Oh, typical Micah Sikki. So some a huge week. Went to his zero. Well, speaking of tight ends, Dalton Schultz is pretty much the only answer for the Houston Texans. He stepped up bigly, if you will, with Nico Collins out drew a monster 14 looks ended up with 12 catches 140 yards. No offense, Mike, but he crushed his nine point production here. Yeah, earning managers 26 fantasy points. He's going to be a top five play at least, you know, heading into by the end of Monday at football, rather, other Houston wide receivers. It doesn't matter. This receiver room is completely unsettled. Xavier Hutchinson led the team with nine looks and former Pittsburgh panthers stand out Jared Wayne was second on the team with in targets with seven. I didn't mention him on FFC. You know, we went to college. I did that for you. And basically this receiver room is just like I like to say a Michigas of me. Yeah, Nico, or bust. Yeah, Dalton Schultz tight ends against Bengals. Could that be a thing? Maybe it's back. It wasn't back in week one. But Bengals, Bengals defense is dramatically better, much better. I know you have some points to Tampa Bay last week that they made some plays and shut down Houston. This week, David Montgomery and this one six carries 10 yards. What he marks eight carries eight yards. What do we think within the people that were really mad about the idea that you agreed with, by the way, my stance after week one was the even Montgomery is the perfect cell high candidate. Yeah, a lot of people were mad. It was very sad with me. I think Daniel was more on the people's side. Yeah, 4.4 fantasy points. Yeah, not great. Not great. Not hurt. Cincinnati Bengals defense just going to say really quickly. Coach Edwards in the war room was came up to me and was like, how does the team go from the 31st ranked defense to this? So I do think we got to give the Bengals hold hard cash for a different team. But sometimes you pour a lot of money into a defense or an offense and it doesn't necessarily convert. So just to not we cannot keep the same narrative from last year about the Bengals defense unless it pertains. Absolutely not. Yeah, maybe maybe tight ends after what you did in this one, but we'll see. Carolina went to Atlanta and absolutely wiped the floor of the pathetic falcons. They dominated them and Bryce Young was awesome for the second straight week. He had three passing touchdowns and 24.1 fantasy points. I'll make this quick on Bryce because we've seen Bryce have good moments. And then he'd have sort of come back down to earth moments does Bryce Young. I like four of his five next matchups. So for some reason, you're sputtering it quarterback. Maybe you drafted Justin Herbert. Maybe if Matthew Stafford does again tonight and you're like, what the heck? Drake May. He's been awful for two straight weeks and you want to consider a change up. Bryce Young will have our attention until further notice that it continued to reiterate. It's the Chuba Hubbard show in the Carolina Panthers backfield. He ends up with 14.4 fantasy points. Jonathan Brooks, just 2.1. The snap share was a little tighter this week. But that's because this game was a blowout. Chuba was playing the consequential snaps. Again, until further notice, I'm not saying this is all year, but I think I thought this coming into the season. And I feel the same way now is the Chuba show as a he's the new James Conner, the unsexy RB2 that you don't really feel great about drafting and he ends up being pretty solid. By the way, Brooks to really quick, Brooks did leave this game hurt too later on, but it was still a staff. He also had a groin injury. I just want to make sure people I was not or knee issue. So the Panthers might have two receivers that are on inner rankings. Yeah, Ted Erol Mcmillan, you know him and he was good yesterday. He had 10 targets highest on the team. Five for one oh, one was a final line. There were some sweet grabs as well. Not too far behind is Jalen Coker from you got this one. Holy cross. Thank you. Oh my god, go on Mike nailed it. Eight catches for 66 yards. So the yards per catch just over eight yards, but he is awesome. Eight catches on nine targets back to back. Really solid weeks here for Jalen. Coker guy, you got a legit extension this off season three years, 35 million dollars as kid can play. This offense is playing with a ton of confidence right now. If I like Bryce Young's matchup four out of the next five weeks, I like the matchup for the wider receivers as well. Coker would be inside my top 30 in my very preliminary week three ranks. Oh, wait, he only caught eight of nine targets. He was 14 of 14 against the land and his career before yesterday. Damn it. He didn't mention that stat coming into the week. Yeah, I'm with you. Just keep in mind, Bryce Young owns the Falcons. I mean, it's too best game ever against Alana had another big one yesterday. So I'm curious to see if he can keep this going. He's not known as I talked about an FFC yesterday has never had two back-to-back good fantasy games. This is the first time in his career. Yeah, back-to-back good fantasy game. So we'll see if he keeps that going. The Falcons hug a Falcons fan if you know one. Yeah, they need therapy. What a pathetic existence this offense is. Good news is there is a night they play again. Maybe we get Michael Pennex back. Okay, that's we'll need that. They did get their Jack Strand moment. Yeah, go well from jump. No. Cooper Rosh had negative 0.6 fantasy points. I'm trying to find a silver line here. There is not because there are three guys that we are not just invested in, but heavily invested in a fantasy, right? Beach on obviously was RB two. He had a monster game last week. He had 11.1 fantasy points this week, they kind of yanked him early. He played just 51% of the snaps. He was efficient as a runner, 16 for 72. The problem is there's, there's, there's no touchdown equity in this offense whatsoever. They have one in two weeks. It was a long, excuse me, Brian Robinson, screen pass that went the distance. Kyle Pitz is on the Colston Loveland plant. He improved from zero points in week one to one catch for 15 yards in week two. And then Drake London, who was a little better, sure, a little better. But I mentioned this last week under on our previous show, can you really, really trust any Falcons pass catcher with Cooper rush once again. If you're like, well, it got better for Drake London. I got a whole eight point nine fantasy points. You didn't take Drake London as potentially wide receiver seven, eight, nine or 10 to feel good about eight point nine fantasy points. We need a new quarterback, stat Mike mentioned it. They play Thursday night. There is some indication that it could be Michael Penix Jr. on the field. And I like Penix. I think he's a very talented thrower. And I can promise you, it can't get worse than what they have thrown out there the past two Sundays. Yeah, nothing more to add. Maybe it's maplane. Let's go move ahead now to the nice skip a page. Okay, Broncos. And that's right. We have the browns. Browns. Browns. Bucking your browns. That's me. Yes, this game, which ended this morning, after several weather news. I know that was wild. Browns with the upset 2019. You know, did you ever have a thought in your head about football and you're too afraid to say it publicly. So you just really texted your friends. Yeah, I watched the film of Dishon Watson after week one. And I texted those guys and said, I'm not going to lie. He didn't play that bad. I mean, he was pressured over half the time. It was rough, but he made some good throws. He didn't make all. He made a couple mistakes. And then he goes in a week to him plays like that. It was much. It was really good. He was great. He played really well. 24 of 30, 230 yards to touchdowns in this game. Also led to team of 22 rushing yards as well. So not saying he's back or anything, but I think he at least saved his job. He's not getting pulled. Not right now. Not this week. Not right now. Not after you played like that. I think he's off to a much better start than the public might want you to think. So we'll see how that goes moving forward. They're back home this week. But the point is right direction. Not making a waiver claim unless it's super flex, but you know, we'll monitor this one. The other part of this is the guy he was throwing to Denzel Boston is clearly established as a number one wide receiver in this offense. Seven targets. 3% of the snaps. Yeah. Yeah. He's the only one. He's the only one that was over 70% at the rotating the other guys. Five catches 95 yards and a touchdown. Also scored a week one. That was garbage time. This one was certainly more legit in a competitive game. He is the one there. He should be rostered. Bless you, Field. Thank you. In all fantasy leagues right now for sure. On the other hand, we have the guys that are disappointing here. Quincheon Judkins 12 carries 21 yards. They can't they can't block. They can't block for a lot of concern. Right. You can't run block. I will say silver lining and it's a very, very thin silver lining. He like at least saw five targets. Right. There was some action in the in the passing game for him. Something we did not necessarily anticipate heading into. Yeah. No doubt certainly helps said no Dylan Samson will be out for a little while longer. But Judkins to play 69% of the snaps. Nothing on the ground, but to your point. Seven points. Seven points in the passing game. Concepcion Harold Fanon fine usage in this one. Concepcion six or 28 and fan in five for 54. It's a point in the right direction for Fanon. He's flirting with the top 12, but you don't have to start. Six points better than his four fantasy point. Yeah. It's probably Jerry Judy could drop him. Hopefully he gets traded at some point. Can I just give you a quick Harold Fanon junior thought is sometimes when we think about like future years and when you're trying to categorize bus, it feels like the way to sort of lean towards is like who had like top one percentile outcomes the prior season. And in some ways, Harold Fanon junior had like basically top one percentile outcome. Right. The offense was so bad. And the offensive line was so bad that there was nothing to do besides get the ball out quick. They were constantly playing from behind. Harold Fanon junior got a million design targets late in the season. Not the same this year. Much more aggressive and not electric, but more competent offense in the first two weeks of the season. Yeah. I mean, if you get a 20% target share and get carries too, including at the goal line, that's going to be mean a lot at the tight end position. So I'm so confident he could get back back into that conversation. A lot's going to have to do with how well to Sean Watson plays moving forward. Just saying like there was a point last year where it was like, wow, it was like Harold Fanon junior, the next man up behind Brock Bauer's and training. Right. Not so fast. Not so fast to use your expression from earlier. All right. Buccaneers side. Not a lot to report here. Except that Bucky Irving has reestablished itself as the clear number one. There's a lot of offseason shatter that hey, they paid Kenny Gainwell a lot of money. He's the one. No, he's not. It's Bucky Irving 48 snaps in this game. Kenny Gainwell 23 Sean Tucker back from injury zero. So he's not a factor in the offense at this point. That's huge for Irving to generate some goal line work 90 yards and 21 touches for Bucky Irving. He's a line of block right now as an RP two. And then as for the passing game again, very disappointing at home against this Cleveland defense. It isn't isn't quite as good as it was in years past, but no bucks over 49 receiving yards. Fortunately, if you have a mecca, Bucca bailed out by that touchdown. Just three catches for 16 yards on five targets in this game. Ted hers, Kada and they all had more targets than Bucca in this game. So confident in his talent, moving forward and then Baker may feel, but that was a disappointing effort from this offense. He's one of the earliest season bus as well as a mecca, Bucca. He has not been good through two weeks, not nearly as good as we had hoped for anything you want to add on that game. Liz. I don't think so. I think Mike covered it all three sacks for Baker may field, which was a little bit concerning as well. They have a lot of questions to answer right now down in Tampa Bay. Let's move to a game that I think has one of the more important revelations from the weekend. It's Saints at Baltimore. The Saints get a huge win 24/17. A crazy end of game sequence there. Where Tyler Schuck eventually does score on a six inch touchdown run. Baltimore going to keep let's start there just because like Derek Henry, I know the stats been going around for second half, rushing attempts or something like that for Derek Henry. The game all of a sudden became more competitive. They were playing other with the lead or a big lead. It should have this. He should have been playing more period end of story, but it's not the first time we've seen this from Derek Henry. He actually had three catches yesterday, which is a huge number from him. He's fine. Lamar Jackson ends up under 15 fantasy points. Lamar came out hot yesterday. This offense came out hot yesterday. This is going to be one of those games that I think lights a fire under the booty of the Ravens. They're way too good to be this this bad on offense as they were in the second half and really second quarter on the question was who could step up for Z flowers. The answer is drawbate. You have a answer until Z flowers is back and they're traveling to Brazil for a game. I don't know when they're leaving. I'm going to guess. This is not like the Niners who left a week in advance of their game in Australia, but they're probably also not going to go the Rams route where they show up like an hour before kick off. We'll see whether Z flowers makes the trip down there. He did practice on Friday. Rashad Bateman 91% of the snaps. Nine of Lamar Jackson's 31 passing attempts were targets for Rashad Bateman 748 and a touchdown. I understand he's been very disappointment. Very disappointing. Yeah. It's also a former first round pick who has been extended twice. Yes. Like an early. Yes. And I agree with you. It has two extensions from Baltimore and his career. Right. Now that one of them were big bankbreakers, but still like this team has shown a level of commitment to Rashad Bateman. Yeah, wait. And we have talked about how they can't really support multiple wide receivers in this offense. And Safe Flowers hasn't missed games in a while. So now, you know, it's what we learned here. I think is that one guy can establish himself as the top guy. And in this case, it's, you know, used to be Hollywood Brown. And, you know, obviously, it's been Safe Flowers. Maybe it's Bateman until Flowers. I loved him on my bench and didn't like it. Let's talk saints. A moment of appreciation for Tyler Schuck first back to back games over 22 fantasy points got in the end zone. As a runner, as I mentioned to win the game, 37% of his fantasy points from the weekend came as a runner for Tyler Schuck. Enough mobility to be very frisky and dangerous by the Raiders next weekend. I'm sure we'll be talking about Schuck. Chris Alave, what an amazing player he is. Joy to watch him weekend and week out. 22.6 fantasy points. But I am going to serve up what I think might be the most confusing deployment of backs in the league right now. I don't get it. I have a hard time figuring this one out. It felt it's going to, it felt to me. Now, I'm sure there are saints fans that can correct me if this is wrong. It felt to me like all of season, the saints were trying to navigate the exit ramp for Alvin Camera and wanted to do so in a way that was, I think, cordial to a franchise legend. Instead, they eventually get a deal done with Alvin Camera to keep him around after signing Travis H. Han to a four year 48 million dollar contract. Travis H. Han after playing 58% of the snaps in week one dropped down to 43.8 snaps in week two. He had just two targets. Remember last week, he had seven catches. He had eight rushes to Alvin Camera's nine. Camera averaged a mere 1.6 yards per carry yesterday and is still playing 25% of the snaps with CJ Donaldson playing 23.4% of the snaps. I would say that H. Han and Camera are amongst the most established and prolific receiving backs to legal scene over the past decade, especially, of course, Camera. Donaldson's playing where they're playing hurry up snaps. I have no idea, but this backfield, which I thought that H. Han had the chance to be one of those boring RB twos that by the end of the year, graduated to back end RB ones, this backfield going into week three feels to me like a stay away. A dead zone. Yeah. It is a dead zone. And also I think we have to mention that Kamara was not particularly effective with his targets. He managed one more receiving yard than he did look. Yeah. Five great. Five receptions for seven receiving yards was the five number here for Avon Camara. So I thought this was going to be the Travis H and show. I was following the money. Like if the Saints felt this confident now when Camara and TJ Donaldson, who's an undrafted free agent, but like Kendra Miller, who they liked enough to play him last week was a healthy scrap. Just I don't get it. I haven't figured it out. I agree. I don't like I just don't understand the logic behind it. By the way, Donaldson played 14 special team snaps as well. I mean, in the 20 offensive snaps, I mean, they're featuring this guy as a team. They love them. I don't I'm it's shocking. I get like it's a very cool development story. It's a great fine by them is a college apartment on that part. But man, like in some way, four for 48 million, four for 48 million for Travis H and like the the message you're sending with that is we feel like we have a gigantic need to add a feature back. And we think this guy is the truth. And then now they're saying actually, he's not that good. Like he's not the runner in terms of attempts. He's certainly not going to play all of the passing down snaps because Avon Camara has got six targets to H N's to without carried in a target. Like what's the value? Like in his day, could have been slightly salvaged. There was at the end of the game. There was a penalty on a one yard touchdown round that H N had called back. But still like this one went from potentially promising in the preseason to potentially completely useless all the way around. I think what's more frustrating than that is that they just pulled off this big upset. So there's no actionable reason to change anything. They won't cheat out at the moment. Yeah. Um, I have a question. How good is Tyler Shuck? He's already think he's going to settle in. He's a top 15 quarterback, top 10 top real life for fantasy. Yeah. Real life. Really? Like how good? How legit is this football player? 15. Yeah. Is he the Mendoza line? He might be pushing into the Mendoza line. Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's good. Yeah. He has his moments. They have to they have to figure it out early in games. Who was the Mendoza line? Kyler Murray. For a long time. Candy Dalton. I think it was Candy Dalton. Oh, that was one. Yeah. Yeah. He might be better than the Mendoza line. The way he's playing so far. Yeah. He is playing well. All right. I'm going to pass it. Uh, nope. To Liz for the, uh, the battle of the green uniforms and jets and the Packers nearly a tie, but a win for the Packer. Another NFC North matchup here. Packers ultimately win this one. Let's start with Jordan. Lovey. Toss two touchdowns. Obviously, as you can see in this one, one to March on Lloyd with about 10 minutes left in the half. And then his second, not until about seven minutes left in the fourth quarter to Christian Watson, I actually breathed quite a sigh of relief seeing Christian Watson have his day saved with that touchdown. Uh, Jordan love only completed 52% of his passes. There was rain in this game as well. So we can attribute some of that in an underrated defense. I would. And an underrated defense is an excellent point. Um, I think for me, the bigger story is Green Bay's backfield from a fantasy perspective because we've got Caleb Johnson, March on Lloyd, Chris Brooks, accounting for 63 total rushing yards on 18 combined carries. Guys, that's less than inspiring. This is a stay away. Like, I, I'm not trying to be redundant, but I think after two weeks, we have already stockpiled close to a half a dozen stay away backfields. It's not Halloween though. I don't want dead zones. I want live zones. It's it's pumpkin spice season almost. We'll make sure we sort of pumping out Halloween candy in August. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I know. Don't get me started. I think the only thing we learned is that when Josh Jacobs returns at some point, which we expect he will be the clear feature back again. No one is stealing. He's going to play eight and it'll buoy this entire offense. Yeah. He will be a very, very busy back. We'll Josh Jacobs once he gets back. Um, stay away from the running backs. Third, I'm going to reserve the right to change this stance because they play Atlanta on Thursday night at home, very disheartened by the first two weeks of the Greenbacker's offense. Yeah. Christian was in the side. You guys know that's my guy. But besides that, it's been disappointing. I think this could be an offense that went nuclear. It has not been the case through to I think there was also the assumption that with the backfield affected so terribly by Jacob's absence that there'd be more funneled through the air and we'd have obviously with also the number of looks vacated some more clarity. I do think we have the clarity in that Matthew Golden is going to get fed. He may not be effective, but he's going to get fed and Christian Watts and remains the highest ceiling option for two weeks in a row now. Yeah. We should mention to Jayden Reed serious injury. Yes. I'm probably going to be out for a little while. We'll keep an eye on that. Hopefully he's able to return. And that injury he does. I think it's worth saying also did have a feeling in his extremities. Yes. So, hopefully he'll be back soon. By the way, it turns out recovering from a knee injury might take a little time. Tucker craft slow out of the gates here had a couple splash plays in week one. Not enough to be super fantasy relevant. And then just two for 15 in this one despite playing he ran 25 routes. I was right up there with four percent of this now. Yeah, he played a lot, but it wasn't happening yet. So it might take a little time for him to get rolling, but at some point, here's a thing about people that argue with Mike on the internet. Some are right. Some are sometimes I go off like vibes, right? Like some I'm not afraid to admit that like sometimes it's just a gut call that leads me down a path to fantasy football. Well, make an argument. Well, I know, but but Mike, when you argue with Mike, it's literally arguing against like a formula. It's like arguing against science. It's like arguing against a computer like everything that Mike says is incredibly well-fought out and reasoned and pragmatic. People get so got so mad about Mike stand on Tucker craft. And it's like two weeks in. It's like, hey, he's an awesome player. He might I think he's the highest pay tie down ever. Now it's great. But Mike was not doing so because he has a personal issue with Tucker. Exactly. It was just here's why he down the path. Yes. Why he could bus and we're seeing it so far. But a long way to go. The good news on the Jets, we can be extremely quick here. Liz is that they feel like you just know what you're going to get. It's two guys. Well, it is two guys, though, because over the summer, right? Not the one of those. Here Wilson remains the team's alpha, right? He is the number one, but there is room for 80 Mitchell. And over the summer, there was a drum beat on Mitchell. And I think all of us were like, I don't know. Is do you know going to be able to support two wide receivers? Do you know his, by the way, proved to be fairly stable? We don't really, we didn't really like his effort. This time, oh, there's a the reason we're all angry is because the judge should win a game against really. Okay, that's an amazing process. I think you can, yeah, can you say that word because Tom Brady said it on TV yesterday. It's missile. That was hilarious. That was. We'll get to that. We'll get to, well, we already talked about that game. But yes, Wilson had the most productive outing of a most productive fantasy day. He was out targeted by 80 Mitchell, Mitchell drew 12 looks. He earned a target share of nearly 30%. His longest game, though, only 15 yards. Obviously, these numbers a little bit inflated because the game went into overtime. But I am happy that the offseason drum beat is in fact finding a rhythm and is legitimate. I think both of these both of these receivers could see hefty volume. Again, as the Jets are seven point road dogs against Detroit in week three. Oh good, good secondary for Gary Wilson to pick on. That's one of my most invested players this year. So we talk about the same. He's what he is, right? Right. He's just a solid RB two that's an excellent pass catcher in his explosive plays. Let's get to the Patriots playing host of the Steelers. The Patriots win 20 to three wasn't because of the offense. Let's do the Steelers though quickly. Jalen Warren plays 72% of the snaps is Rico Dowdy gets banged up. Do you guys know what it was? What was it? I don't apologize. He came back in and then they rolled him out. So I this does not seem major. Doesn't seem major, but Jalen Warren had a massively inflated snap share as a result of it. They were also getting toasted in this game. I think DK Medcalfe, like the report between Ian Aaron Rodgers wasn't great last year. It's still not great this year. I also think the DK got Gonzalez yesterday. Christian Gonzalez, obviously one of the best corners in the NFL had plenty of snaps lined up opposite of DK Medcalfe. Jeremy Bernard had eight targets for the Steelers. I would file that under the monitoring for super deep lead category more than anything else, but I don't really want any part of the Steelers offense right now. They're dreadful. Aaron Rodgers has some interesting comments after the game. Aaron Rodgers got absolutely jacked up yesterday on a sack. Like the Patriots defense was probably the best unit on the field. So I'm not going to say much more on the Steelers unless you guys have something you really want to add. You know, you get jacked up when it's like you're in field goal range and it's third and whatever. Third and five, third and ten, whatever it was. And then the next play, it's fourth and 45 because you got hit that hard. The ball went all the way back down the other side of the field. So let's get to the Patriots because there are a few interesting things there. Let's let's begin with the non AJ Brown wide receivers yesterday. The wide receiver, the play the most snaps was Matt Collins, nearly 70%. He also ran the most most routes. 21 to Romeo dobs. 20 Romeo dobs had the most targets out of all of the wide receivers with four. He turned that into three catches for 96 yards. Much of that coming on one big play. Patriots have had a difficult schedule against defenses out of the gates. They play Jacksonville and Buffalo over the next two weeks. I'm not sure it gets a whole lot easier this upcoming Sunday. Drake May has been bad. Eat fantasy points like Drake May will talk about him more throughout the week. You can't tell me that guy is an absolute lock to be inside your top 10 for quarterbacks for week three. But I don't so the Drake not playing as well. The target's not being that significant and a lot of Romeo dobs production coming on one play. I'm not convinced that just because he led the team in fantasy points this past weekend amongst pass catchers at Romeo dobs has now convinced me he deserves to be a flex. Now it's possible. It's a possibility that we're back to where we were for a couple of years ago where if there's no Patriots wide receiver that you want to have inside sides your lineup. Anybody have any stronger opinion on the Patriots, wide receivers. I agree. I think dobs is the closest to a flex and the thing I'd say I may, though is we had him as a bench weeks one and two. So this isn't shocking. This was a tough schedule. He's now played what's seven straight games, six straight games against really good defenses and hasn't performed well. So this is something we're going to fail to throw a touchdown. Yeah. A single touchdown. I think he had one in week one against Eli Reardon for the first touchdown of the season. But yes, I mean, it has not been good for the Patriots offense. We'll see when the matchups lighten up if it's a modern. It seems like a lot of excusing Mike. Let's just say and it's, I mean, he was ranked as a top six quarterback for fantasy purposes heading into the season. We're going to bench that guy for two weeks. We maybe we have. Yes. I bet I mean, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't draft them. I don't have any shares of him. But like, I don't see him long either. I have, I've mentioned him in both of the leagues that I have him. I'm sorry. I have, I have him one leg. I've benched him back to back weeks. I'll have a conversation this upcoming week, although the other quarterback is at home. Jacksonville Jackson. All right. But let's talk about the most interesting thing for the Patriots in fantasy this weekend, except for a few roster Ramondra Stevenson. He played 36% of the snaps to 60.4 to Traveey on Henderson. Why? Well, Ramondra Steven to put the ball on the ground. He has been the most fumble prone running back in the NFL. And here's the fundamental question we have to ask. He fumbles early. He does not get totally sent to the bench, but his role dramatically decreased. Is this going to be what we see pretty often and actually pretty often for Ramondra Stevenson where he kind of gets put in time out for the rest of the game. But the next week, he's back on the field when the Patriots take the field. I feel like I'm the absolute. That's my guess. No, I think Ramond, I believe that based off everything the Patriots have talked about all off season. And some of the areas that despite the brilliance of Traveey on Henderson as an explosive runner, still not going to be the guy that won't pass protecting. There's going to be so many small things that Ramondra Stevenson does. I do think that Ramondra Stevenson will be on the field when the Patriots begin the game next Sunday. What I don't think is going to happen though is that Ramondra Stevenson is going to play the 70 to 75% match here and saw at times in the playoffs last year. Traveey on looked great on that one long run. Super explosive player. Nothing in the passing game. He did have 16 carries for 76 yards. But again, most of that came on one play. So buyer beware on that one, especially if Stevenson does start again next. I just want to say I agree with field on the pass pro. And that's why I've had Ramondra Stevenson aggressively ranked much more than the consensus. But we also saw Drake may take three sex 15 for 35 carries on that 15 carries for 35 yards for Traveey on in the non touchdown run. Mike, let's get to the Seahawks and the Cardinals, the Seahawks. What a professional outfit they are. 31 to 21. They wax the Arizona Cardinals. And oh my god, Jackson Smith and Jake. Yeah. Seriously, Sam Darnell must have played well, right? If they don't know, they just go their backup quarterback and still crush Arizona, who I guess this actually makes the chargers look worse after the man. The Cardinals just beat them pretty handily. Yeah, lock was solid. Three touchdowns in this game. But to your point, JSN did work in this one nine for 1155 yards and three touchdowns. He does it again. The guy is just an absolute superstar on another level. Now leads the NFL and target share through two weeks with a 44% target share, which is an obscene number. Do you have second in that? By the way, did we get to this team? We haven't gotten there yet. We'll save it to when we do that. A couple more or a little bit. Um, yeah. So, uh, JSN good on the Seattle side as well, generic price leftist game with a chest injury, uh, 13 carries for 52 yards. One catch for eight yards wasn't doing much damage. We saw a lot more a manual Wilson. He was the one that was rotating with generic price throughout this game. Once price left, then we started to see some George Hollani, but he was phased out of his a manual Wilson. If price is going to miss a game, we'll keep an eye on this one. Wilson would be the ad in fantasy and should see a ton of rushing volume. He had 21 carries for 92 yards in this game. I just want to add one thing about a manual Wilson is a Jadarian price. This is a red flag for Jadarian price. Before he got hurt, the Seahawks had three straight carries from the four yard line and in and they went from the four to the two to the one. All of them went to a manual Wilson. He is their goal line back right now. That is very concerning for Jadarian prices up side. Uh, I agreed. No doubt about it. Uh, Arizona side of this one. Uh, we thought coming to the season. Yeah. We thought, well, hold on first. I'm going to start with the running backs coming into the season. I thought I, I, you know, me, I mean, yes, Marvin Harris won't be the storyline, but for me, it's Jeremiah love. Um, I thought he would get off to a slow start a little slower than I would have hoped 60, 64% of the snaps for Tyler Alger 40% for Jeremiah love. I wish they would feed this guy more. He did lead them in carries with nine, only a 29 yards had three targets, only 16 yards. We haven't seen that big explosive play from him yet. I'm hoping it's coming, but for now, yeah, falling down to the fringe, RB two more of a flex play at this point, Tyler Alger, obviously not startable. Um, kind of ho hum for Trayn McBride, eight for 41 and touchdown. That's it. That's all hum for him. Yeah. That's all I just over from, it's over for Marvin. Yeah. Marvin Harrison. It's, it's you're exactly right. I don't know. At some point, maybe not this year. I don't know, uh, 26 routes in this game. One target zero catches. He is at 33 yard catch the season. That's it. That's all he got. He's going to have a game at some point. Maybe soon, maybe week three, we'll see where he's going to have, you know, seven for 62 and a touchdown. And we're gonna say, yeah, that's the guy that they drafted and we believe it's, not, that's not it. All right. Like there's too much of a sample size, 31 games where it's got four of his 31 games, 13% of the time zero catches. Yeah. I will say there's no cardinal other than McBride got to 20 yards in this game. So it was a disaster against Seattle. Uh, but there's scheduled stuff. So I'm not sure it's going to be substantially better going forward. Uh, it's not as tough as the chargers. So we're now Oh and two and staring down the barrel of a gauntlet. What a pathetic effort this was. I'm so impressed by the Raiders 26 to 14. No, no Raiders does matter. Clint Kubiak goes out there and helps out in a major way. Uh, for the Raiders, not a lot of takeaways, right? Because there's only two guys that we really care about for fantasy. Ashton Gentie, who was fine yesterday, really good snap percentage 82% inefficient as a runner, 21 for 48. He dropped three passes, but he had seven targets. That's good. I actually thought the gentie made the case for those are like a little bit skeptical on gentie coming into the season was he's an amazing player. He's going to play a good amount of snaps, maybe a very good amount of snaps, but I am a little concerned that this offensive line is better, but not that much better. Right. Yesterday maybe helped make that case. They've got a like week one was not the right matchup to decide whether this offense is all the way back, but one game is not enough to decide whether this offense is all the way back to where it was prior to week one. Uh, but we'll have a better snapshot of them in future weeks, but the saints this upcoming week. Well, it's all about the chargers guys. Wait, real quick, can we just for anomaly sake point out that Kurt Cousins has scored three touchdowns has thrown three touchdowns and back to back weeks. He has six touchdowns on the season. Yeah, the that's good for the Raiders, but not good for us wanting to see Fernando Mendoza, because that's gonna bump down the road a little safe. You want to see more piss missiles throwing on Sunday? You want Fernando Mendoza on the field. Let's talk about the chargers though. And it's a great term. I'm so mad. It's so pathetic. I like one of the questions we'll be discussing on first draft later today is what's wrong with the chargers offense? My response is what's right. What is right right now? Are you kidding me? Like what are they doing? Well, like this is just an awful effort. Every player that you could count on, you say to yourself, like, oh, yeah, like maybe Joe Alt will be back to being all pro Joe Alt three false starts yesterday, a hold in the end zone, Justin Herbert. Hello, 15 for 27. Yeah, you can point out a couple plays where guys drop passes. Like at some point, there are a certain quarterbacks that we just continue to make excuses for and there are others that we don't, right? Yeah. Justin Herbert, no more excuses. Flat out, not good enough, gigantic bust. It's driving me up a wall right now. All the past catchers are, are, Lad McConkey was hurt yesterday. He played only 45% of this. But he was under 50% week one as well. Lads of top 20-ish wide receiver. I thought a Maureen Hampton was fine yesterday. Not great. 17 and a half fantasy points. He's it though. Under four yard, maybe just over four yard for carry. But even Hampton feels like one of those guys, it's underwhelmed through two weeks. Like this entire offense is bothering me. They have an absolutely ridiculous schedule coming up. All the chargers are disappointing. Hampton's so going to be started. Lad McConkey will still be on the fringes. Justin Herbert, though, man. Oh my God. Could not have been more wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. You tell who from vibes in this room who is invested in the chargers office. I think a lot of us were excited, though, but he's not mentioning Mike McDaniel. And I think that that's a giant part of this problem. And McDaniel's not scheming for the offensive line talent that he has. And I will just go off for a second out of pure frustration as well and say that we all thought McDaniel sat there and said, oh, I had all these job offers. I had all these opportunities. I chose Los Angeles because of Justin Herbert. I wanted that, I wanted that talent. I wanted to unlock it. I wanted to get my hands on it. Well, girl, get your hands on it. It's awful right now. Well said, Liz, because it is just incredibly frustrating. I mean, look at that schedule. We flashed on the graphic next seven weeks. Good luck finding a way to get to even like four and five for the Los Angeles Chargers. It's been a while since Herbert Herbert's been like an established cubie one. And it looked like he was going to be a superstar early in his career. And it's been years now. Okay. So I mean, but independent of the fantasy side, Mike, he doesn't look like I met a cubie one in real life. Oh, no, I agree. But he's not playing the good top 10 cubies playing like a bottom 10 cubie right now. That's shocking. Jaguars go to Denver had a big lead and they coughed it up. Mike Grady win for Denver. Would you take away from me? Yeah, it was pretty impressive. My main takeaway is we have a budding superstar. Maybe now an established superstar, a wide receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars here. Parker Washington is for real. Another huge game, 12 targets, seven catches, 98 yards. I earlier, I teased this who's second. in the NFL in target share and go ahead and guess Parker Washington 37% for Washington. He's a borderline wide receiver one and he'll be ranked as such going forward. By me, at least, you guys do what you think of the best, if you don't want to, I mean, it's dangerous, but yeah, how can you not agree? He's awesome. Um, running game for the team, another good game, another good day for baseball, too, and on the ground, 13 carry 65 yards in a touchdown, but still not much in the passing game, which is really, really limiting him in terms of a breakout potential, three yards and two targets. They're using four running backs, though. They're still working in Mirab Doola into this backfield as well. So I'm hesitant to get too far ahead. I'm bashed all to and still more of a flex option, I would say. And you know what? I'm keeping an eye on Brian Thomas. He targets in this game. He was busy early in week one before he got hurt as well. They're trying to make him the number two here. But you got to buy Myers kind of face out. So. He had 89% of the stats, but they're just not used. Yeah, they're not using them. Brian Thomas Jr. Dude. The drops are so bad. They're trying. Oh, my God. Thomas for Harrison trade. Change of scene. Honestly, like, we saw, uh, this is super nerdy, but we saw that Mason Smith trade this off season. Yeah. Yeah. Two teams just swapped second round defensive tackles. I forget who it was for. Who was that? Oh, man. I'm in. I'm in Jacksonville, right? Uh, Mason Smith went to Atlanta and then, uh, but not worth wasting our time. Yeah, we'll get there. The buzzer guys. That's going to happen. Yeah. Rooka robo robo. There you go. Uh, anyways, the bottom line is that. So the jaguars, uh, Brian Thomas Jr., they try, they're trying to make it happen, but the, the drops are just. Parker Washington also, though, a 30 yard, 32 yard grab something like that. We would thought we would have thought that BTJ would have been the field stretcher or the more vertical option of the two of them. And so Parker Washington is doing all of the things. They are trying right now to give Thomas a shot. Yes, they are. And it's not going great yet. But we'll see. Broncoside Jalen model is back. No, we said last week, zero concern about this one and we were right on that eight for one 38 on 10 targets, uh, but Portland Sutton and other, that three for 25, they're really trying to get the ball in the Jalen models hands right now. Doesn't have some games. I'm a little worried about him being a consistent top 20 option, maybe more of a flex for the moment. And we're keeping an eye on a big injury here to JK Dobbins, injured his hamstring. We're going to monitor this throughout the week. But again, as you'll discuss some waivers tomorrow, Jonah Coleman, priority ad, uh, how does ups and downs in this game, but did find the end zone. Uh, so if he's out, it will be Jonah Coleman and maybe just Tyler Bade, because we don't know if RJ Harvey who is out for this, we'll be back from injury next week, so we'll keep an eye on this one. I just want to say some vintage Sean Peyton here with 10 different pass catchers targeted throughout the effort. No, we don't like that. But at least we got a ton of Jalen waddle. That was great to see. Let's go to the dolphins at the 49ers and we can probably keep it pretty quick on the Miami side before I tell you where Mike was wrong, the answer is not really, uh, for Miami, there's kind of only one player that we care about for fantasy weekend and week out. It's Devon H in Daniel. I think might be on to something from last week, right? He was really frustrated by Devon H in after week one, um, he had six targets. So he's now got back to back games with five or more targets does Devon H in. That's a serviceable number. And his rushing efficiency was okay, not great, not not great, but okay, right? The only four yards per carry that seems there's two problems here for Devon H in the elite rushing efficiency and back to back games has not been there to the touchdown equity. It's just going to be a whole lot harder to come by. This team is doing it the right way. They're taking it all on the chin this year, but this is easily a bottom five team in the NFL. Maybe a bottom two team in the NFL is Miami. I think H and has graduated downwards, right? From like an RB one to like probably RB two slash closer to flex territory. It's at least in my assessment of him at the moment for the Niners. I don't know what Mike was thinking when he was saying that Brock party is in for a monster day because Brock party did have two incompletions yesterday. Wow. That's embarrassing. Two twenty for twenty two two hundred and eighty seven yards, two passing touchdowns plus three rushes for 30 yards in a touchdown, twenty eight point five fantasy points for Brock party. The dolphins play host to the chiefs next week crank up on Patrick Mahomes, George Kettle back to George. Yes, George Kettle had a big game yesterday. Kettle had a long 40 yard catch and then a touchdown later on. So Kettle played 51% of the snaps turned it into 18 fantasy points. Great to see. Christian McCaffrey played a bigger role in week two based up the snap percentages in week one and Kalen Black played less than Christian McCaffrey. Sorry. Then he did in week one as well. Kalen Black was down to 29% of the snaps yesterday. McCaffrey finished with nearly 23 fantasy points. Honestly, wasn't a perfect day from Christian McCaffrey found the end zone twice. This is a hard game to read too much into other because of the fact they played Miami. I know, but goal line Gremlin Christian McCaffrey, well, they get right. Well, we will take it. But it is a little bit weird. I mean, he converted for all four of his looks for 43 receiving yards, but that is the Christian McCaffrey. He's also averaging. And I know that obviously they were short run. So this is a bit skewed, but under two yards per carry after coming off of a really inefficient in terms of rushing season last year over two yards. Yeah. By the way, they played like 55 snaps yesterday. Yeah. They did. They were like 22 past attempts. Yeah. Mike Evans left injured, but it seems like he could have probably came back in. The game is out of hand. Well, Marcus Robinson looks like a high ankle sprain. He'll be out probably. I would guess a month or so, but not a high impact that Niners wide receiver room is thinning out by the moment. Let's get to the finale of Sunday night, Mike, the chiefs over time. They win last minute field goal from Harrison Buttger to get a 33 to 30 win. And the word vintage comes to mind when watching this game last night. Yeah. No doubt about it. My home is back at least as a passer. Actually, he's running them all a little bit as well at 17 yards with three 82 through the air. 32 for 47 three touchdowns and a great connection with your point Travis Kelsey caught nine of 11 targets under one yards in a touchdown. Right back in the tight end. One conversation goes Travis Kelsey, whatever, when you say that, do you mean like tight end one overall? I know. I'm just saying after last night, he looks freaking awesome. He looked like the tight end. Yeah, it looked like the tight end went overall. He looks way faster than he did last year. Yeah, he does. He said he said he changed his regimen during the offseason and he got married. He had to get into wedding. Yeah, he sure did. Wedding shape is different than marriage shape, but he's I just said that out loud. He's in both shapes. Whatever shape he's in, he's in a newly married shape. Yes, he absolutely is before you move on, Mike, yeah, Travis Kelsey, not just in whatever shape we think he's in, but also a man of the fantasy football people. Oh, yeah. Okay. On the way out, man, no one cares about anyone's fantasy football team, but I do want to tell you that last grab when you turned it up and got 11 yards on the catch. You might have helped your boy win a game by like 0.1. So I'm grateful. I owe you. Thank you for that. Good looking out. All right. I've been I've been I've been a ghost in the in the fantasy football world for a while. So hopefully I got a few few people as some victories tonight. I'm a ball-nower. I selected you with good reason. Hey, do me a favor. Tell you a lovely bride. I said hello. Until next time. Stay well. All right. I'll see you soon. Look at that. That's how you acknowledge it right there. Travis Kelsey. By the way, hasn't been a ghost. All right. Like this. But we love a self-aware king. Yeah. Definitely. He hasn't been at the level. He used to be for sure, but he was last night. So that's good. He had 11 targets in second place on the team with 10 Ken Walker. The third. This guy. Christian McCaffrey impression, you're 24 carries 117 yards. Also six catches on for 61 yards in this game. They're game so far. The first couple weeks of the season has just been my home's drops back, short area throws, just setting up Xavier worthy for him to make plays with his legs and the same thing with Ken Walker. So Walker. Very much in the top five conversation at running back for she writes 83 yards and this one on six targets. We need a little bit more. We do him. He's he's he's graduated down. Yeah. He's he's gone in the wrong way. What are they going the right way? We thought he might be post hype if he's healthy and he saw seven targets and scored a touchdown in this game. Not a line up lock by any means, but he's going the right direction. So chiefs offense looking awesome right now. Indianapolis side, you know, Jonathan Taylor. I mean, what Marty need to say. That's right. Jonathan Taylor in two touchdowns also caught four passes for 40 yards. He's terrific. Uh, injury to Alec Pearson. This one. He'll injury to keep an eye on this one. He was card it off. Don't love that. Not much to say on that. Yeah. If he does miss time, Josh Downs, seven for 72 on nine targets in this game was clearly their passing game along with Tyler Warren, who had went six for 21 and scored another touchdown. He had a you scored him week one as well. See for 13. Good start for Tyler Warren very quietly, but the guys just getting the job done. Yeah. Not a lot of yards per catch there for Tyler Warren, but if you're going to see seven targets a game and scoring back to back weeks, you're going to find a way to go. I carry still this guy's, uh, also doing better than Colson Loveland, who was drafted at the same point. Yeah. No doubt. Definitely. Yeah. But, uh, perhaps both of them can find their way to stick around that top five tight end range, um, let's get to the Monday football game because we're not going to have a massive storyline every week for Monday night football, but we got a gigantic one. And that is the status of Pukin Akua, who is iffy at best, I would say going into this game Monday night. If it's possible, the ship has already sailed. I've seen a lot of leagues where Puka is in someone's lineup and there's nobody left on the bench in the IR spot is already accounted for by someone else. If you still have flexibility, Mike, can you rank the, let's call it the flex options that probably are not lineup blocks already. Yeah. So if it's a wide receiver slot, you're going to go to Darnal Mooney or Malachi fields. Okay. One of the wide receivers. Uh, if it's a flex, I think I'll lean more towards the Rams tight ends Colby Parkinson priority. One Terrence Ferguson priority to Parkinson was the clear number one tight end for them in week one. that would change this week, uh, he was good down the stretch last week as well. our last year as well. Sneaky bet for a touchdown or two in this one for sure. So that would be my order. If you have to go deeper than that, it's Devon Singletary, maybe, but again, I'm nervous about him because what if Najee Harris is active in this game and takes that role? So he was the passing down back last week. That's what I'm looking at. I don't think you have many other options. How excited are you to watch Isaiah Liquid tonight, Liz? I am moderately excited. Oh, really? I am mostly intrigued because the over under on this game is still 47 and a half. Well, the over under is that I kept remarking on during fantasy focused countdown yesterday as being low or too high. Is it turned out yesterday? Because it was a really good weekend. Yeah. But that seems, I mean, the rams are favored by six and a half, even with question marks around Pugat. I'm just surprised that nothing there. There's not been more movement. I think, uh, China, I make this a game. But I also feel like there could be a decently high scoring game when we talked about this on FFC, when we look at all of the injuries to the quarterback room in New York. So I am just feeling I don't know how it's going to shake out. Obviously if Pugat is not available, but I do feel like Sean McVeigh coming off of that horrific week one showing and at home is going to have to summon the firepower from somewhere to make this a ballgame. And because the matchup is so favorable, he's going to find a way to do it. And all that talk about 17 or no, and the best team in the NFL and the Avenger, Aaron Donald back. He might be that. No miles Garrett. Yeah. No, no, no miles. Garrett probably limited Aaron Donald in this one shapes up for the Giants offense to keep up their momentum from last week. And as you guys know, I was very invested in them. So I'm, I'm excited for this one. New regime has a moment to prove that they are real here. Yeah. This is a big one. John Harbour might get a win in Sofie Stadium before Jim Harbour this season. The three of us all are all picking the Rams to win. The producers though are on the Giants. I like it. I see if they're pivot. Haze off. That'll do it for our show today. But do not forget tomorrow. Liz, me and Daniel are coming back. You're talking week three waiver wire name that you need to know the recap Monday night football, anything else that may come up. We are hoping for good news on Killaboolyums today. We will see. Until then, for my Kim Liz, I'm field very Monday. [Music] Imagine setting your makeup. Then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new groupie setting mist from Mavily New York.
