What ball that's right alongside Michael Lester Clay Jr. and Field Minister Yates. My name is Daniel David Dopp, super pumped about today. I don't get a middle name. I didn't say ministry. Oh, you did. Okay, sorry. I thought it was a middle name. Sorry about that. Yeah. It's distracted because we have some TV viewing for this evening. Yes, we do. When's day night football? You know what doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same? I sell like an email and it was like something about the game and it was WNF. I feel weird. It feels weird. It feels weird. It was weird. But we'll take it. Yes, we will. Yes, we will. All right. Quick shout out before we dive into that. Our buddy Eric Moody hanging out in chat as he always does. Follow him on social media at Eric and Moody. By the way, when you're watching fantasy focus countdown on Sunday morning, getting ready for the rest of week one, have up that second screen experience. You can watch Eric Moody on fantasy focus Sunday kickoff presented by Lowe's live on the NFL and ESPN YouTube page while you are watching us on fantasy focus countdown. You can get your lineups answer during the commercial breaks, Moody in there doing all the stuff, shaking babies, kissing people, all the good things. Shaking babies. You're not supposed to. Yeah. Kissing people, shaking babies. Shaking hands. Shaking hands. Shaking hands. Shaking babies. I'm wondering, it's presented by Lowe. So does Eric have to like, is he on camera like building some construction hat? Yes. Yeah, he has to like, he has to do some sort of construction while answering questions. I love that. That should be a thing. Like, he's a workshop. Yes. Workshoping lineups. And he's workshopping a birdhouse. I took my kids to Lowe's this weekend. And the stuff that they wanted to buy was the most ridiculous and hilarious election of stuff. My middle child wanted to buy about 100 rat traps. Uh-huh. That's for fun. Uh-huh. We need these dad. Yeah. Thankfully, there are no rats in the house. But we don't need them. We don't know when you need them. Then she was like, okay, however, have you considered this laundry detergent? Because we've got 150 hours worth of laundry detergent available at a very discounted rate. Hey, those stores are awesome. I was going to say the same thing. Yeah. I remember that too. I went there because I loved this place. Yeah. Oh, I love that. Hey, we're diving into our week one rankings as well. That's a really fun ranking segment at the end of the show. I promise you want to stick around for this one. But first and foremost, guys, normally we do our previews at the end of the show. I don't want to wait. We've been waiting for a football for forever. Let's dive into our Wednesday night football preview. Patriots and the seahawks. That's a sick graphic that just owe us. We got lineup blocks for this one straight from Mike Clay's playbook, potentially out today on the dot com. We'll find out. Hey guys, it's week one. I decided to file early. So maybe it'll be on, maybe it'll be live today. All right. Then I'm going to hand this over to you. Who is a lineup block for your playbook, Mike? Well, on the screen right there, Daniel. Well, not everyone is watching on YouTube. Oh, yeah. Okay. Jackson Smith and Jigba and AJ Brown, of course, the premiere wide receivers for both teams. And we had a late edition. There we did. Andre Stevenson. If you drafted Stevenson, yeah, it was a middle-around pick. You might be pretty good at running back, but you're getting him in your lineup because he's the top top 20 play with no trivian Henderson. And we saw a little bit of that down the stretch last season in Stevenson delivered in those positions where he was the clear feature back at a terrific end to the regular season. And obviously, it was very busy during the playoff. So as far as I'm concerned, I don't know if you guys agree. I'm at RB 16. I think he should be locked in. Yeah. When you go look at the consensus rank right now, because this news dropped yesterday, just to kind of heal the curtain back a little bit. All of us rankers, obviously, have to go in there and make our adjustments of our ranks. A lot going on. I don't think everybody has removed Ramondra from their week one, excuse me, trivian from their week one rankings. The Ramondra at RB 19 is actually lower than where I'll end up once everybody has updated the rankings. We all agree he's inside the top 20. And not that Ramondra Stevenson is some top five to eight talent at the position, but there's at least a chance for week one or until a trivian Henderson returns. He has a top five to eight role in this Patriots offense, right? Because who is behind him right now in the Patriots Deptard? I'll tell you. Yeah. Okay. Is it Kenny or Keiner? Keiner. Who the Patriots acquired in a trade from the Cardinals probably what 10 days ago? Not the kind of player that you typically expect to play a huge role for a team. So I'm sure they'll elevate a running back from the practice squad tonight. Has Saun Haskins a likely candidate familiarity with Mike Vrabel. But Ramondra should be in line for you would think what 70 plus percent of the snacks. Exactly. And things go as planned. Yeah. No doubt. Maybe even pushes 80 and that's why he's ranked so high because this is actually a very tough matchup. For sure. I think you can play not an efficiency play. Again, we don't want to spend too much time on last year's stats, but when a defense hasn't changed much or has very similar personnel or the same strengths. For example, I have this yox interior defensive line ranked number one in the NFL and in my unit grade article. So this is very basically the same guys as last year. They allowed three and a half yards per carry last season or running backs. That was lowest in the NFL. The fifth few is fantasy points actually only two running backs got to 17 and a half fantasy points against them. The whole season, including the playoffs. So they dominated that position. But again, Stevenson should be in the 13 to 15 point range because of the volume to your point. So lots to like there. Before we talk about the Seahawks running back, just an update on Travion Henderson didn't practice yesterday. He isn't practiced since August 24th. If you're looking for signs of hope for Travion Henderson, he actually traveled with the team to Seattle, which maybe is an indication that a return to practice is relatively close. It's also get a mini buy after this game tonight. So maybe we'll see Travion Henderson in week two, but until we see him back, it should be the Ramondra Stevenson show. Maybe it's a different conversation, but like you think about all of draft season now that it's mostly behind us. I'd say 99% of drafts are over maybe probably higher than that. The most overdraft or overrated player and drafts. I mean, Henderson often cost to do a fifth round pick. Even this year, you're saying, yeah, I'm saying now that we look back at draft season. Like who were the players? You're like, man, I'm glad I didn't touch that guy. He was just clearly overvalued throughout draft season. He's probably going to be a headliner on that list. We'll see. It'll be really interesting. He's so talented, obviously. He's so explosive. But he doesn't necessarily need 20 touches to pay off. Just I think Ramondra Stevenson, until further notice, is a thing for the Patriot. Well, let's talk Seahawks running back, which I think are a little bit more interesting as far as a decision goes for him. Absolutely. I mean, we're all in. I think, unless you guys tell me otherwise because you feel differently, like Jardin Price, we all view as the RB one of this squad. I think we all look at him as a low-end RB two, even against this Patriots defense. But Mike, I am curious and feel if you have anything to weigh in here too. How do you think this split with George Halani is going to work out with this guy that we're super excited about seeing as a first rounder? Before you answer Mike, can I sort of throw a, not a caveat, but just like a mindset thing for me in week one. We're doing our best to project him. We're going to give you analysis left, right, and center. Some of week one might, my sort of preview points are not what I think will happen, but just like what are the observations I look to take away from this? Correct. And tonight, like I am playing Jardin Price as if he is going to be the clear feature back in North Seattle, but I will be curious how involved as a receiver he is. He's going to see plenty of rushing volumes tonight. I'd be very surprised if it happens otherwise. Is this more JK Dobbins last year, early in the season with Denver, which you remember, was getting minimal and I mean, minimal receiving work, but was getting 16 to 20 carries a game, which is a not a nothing role. Or is this closer to, I don't know, Deandre Swift, we get 15-ish carries, maybe get three to five targets, and that's good enough for an RB2 play. So it's funny you say that because the projection that I have for prices, 16 carries and two targets in this game. So very much in the range, you just said, remember, this is a backfield just, just focusing on the Seattle running backs last year, the finished seconding carries and fifth and rushing touchdown. So there's a lot of volume to be had in that backfield, GameScript obviously was a factor. Yes, they leaned toward the run, but they were ahead a lot and, you know, not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but I think they'll be ahead in this game and leading throughout this game and it's going to give price a lot of opportunity. For perspective, I have Halani at six carries and one or two targets in this game as well. And then Emmanuel Wilson, just a handful of touches. So yeah, I pretty clearly think they give a long look to Giderian price. Maybe George Halani gets the veteran start on the first drive. I don't know what they're going to do. Can't be do listen. George Halani, good player. Like him as a depth piece. He's not a veteran. We're not going far enough to give him a better and start. I'm just saying. Yeah, I'm not questioning you. I'm saying if they do that tonight, come on, have issues. I think I don't question Mike McDonald. I'm much. I think it's going to be a lot like, you know, you think Kareem hunt his first year with the Chiefs member. That was like that first game of the year. I know he had a fine way to fumble by. He was pretty much like bringing him a shot and he played well in the fumble. And he took the job. And I think that's what we have out of Giderian price here. We'll see later in the season when Charbonne comes back. What it looks like. But for now, I agree price should be the guy here. He is 20th in the projections. That's where he comes out in this matchup again. This is a good defense. We expect New England's run defense to be very good. They were good last season when they were healthy. So it's not a walk in the park. There's some uncertainty with the role here, but at the end of the day, he should push past 15 touches. Yep. Meet new grippy. be setting missed from Mavily New York. Geldomis 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 groupie setting missed from Mavily New York. - Maybe it's Mavily. - I think just to remind people in our conversation for our final talking point of this game, Drake Maye, Stardom or Cidem, Mike and I were on the Cidem category or in the Cidem category. Daniel, you are in the start Drake Maye category. Money where my mouth is, I mentioned I only have one team with Drake May. I also have Patrick Behoem's on that roster. I have Patrick Behoem's who is going to start big surprise there on Monday night in my lineup and I will be sitting Drake Maye tonight. - All right. - Love that. - Who are you guys taking in this matchup? - Seahawks, 25 Patriots, 19. - Not only am I happy that Mike's score picks are back but I'm happy that Mike's score picks involving incredibly unusual numbers for each team or back. - Sorry, I had a mistake, 25.1. - Okay, there we go. - I'm taking the Seahawks, I don't know the score. - I am also nervously now taking the Seahawks. - A worse one, all the way. - This is not great. Yeah, not sure I feel good about that. - We saw the Super Bowl. - Listen, I am from Massachusetts. You guys know that group of Patriots fan. I have tons of Patriots fans, friends. I picked this Patriots to lose in the Super Bowl last year. And I got absolutely roasted by like everybody I grew up with. And then at the end of the game, people were so pissed off, understandably, that it weren't like, I guess you got it right. - Oh, that doesn't work. - To this day, I'm in a group thread of guys who are also all from Massachusetts. And we had our draft last night. And they're still mad at me for picking the Seahawks. - Wow. - They're like pissed. They like think I'm like-- - I'm gonna do your job. - Like Benedict Arnold over here. - Yes, I'm like, really? - That's why I feel right now like Mike's sleeper team this year in the NFL, perhaps even to go to the Super Bowl. Just the Cowboys and I don't, you know, I have to be quiet about how much I bring that up. - Yeah, no love that. - Don't love that. - Can't be objective all the time, you know. - All right, let's dive into some objective week one rankings, though, my friends. - Yep. - Week one is very interesting looking at the rankings. There's a lot of conversation. We had some of it yesterday. We're gonna start with the quarterback consensus rankings here. Laura Jackson, Jalen Hersch, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert at four in Joe Burrow, rounds out the top five, six through 10. Jackson Dart, Jaden Daniels, Matthew Stafford, Deck Prescott, and Trevor Lawrence. - Mr. Gates, what stands out to you about this? - We're gonna each pick a quarterback from this top and I'm gonna start with no surprise here. Justin Herbert, I wanna bring up a stat or a metric. I know Mike is tracking this and has it somewhere either in the playbook or just somewhere within Mike's work, but implied team total. - Yep. - So when you look at the over-under for a game, which in this game I believe is 48 and a half, and then you also have a line, right? The cardinals are nine and a half point underdogs. So you can use the over-under plus the line to ascertain what Vegas projects the score with the Goses plant. The chargers have the highest implied team total in Vegas with draft kings at 29 points this week. We think they're gonna be scoring a lot on Sunday afternoon. The Cardinals were bottom 10 and passing yards allowed per game last season. Only five teams allowed more passing touchdowns than the Cardinals last season. In some ways, it feels like some of the numbers from the Cardinals last year are actually skewed because they were getting roasted so hard so early that teams were just bleeding the clock on the ground in the second half of games. But yes, I have Justin Herbert as a lineup block. Quarterback two for me, one spot ahead of Clay at three and Daniel, you are at four. So it sounds like we're all kinda in on Herbone Weekly. - You had me at Cardinals defense, but also I'm in on the chargers offense and all the things that we expected to be to. It's a really nice match for the first week of the season having these two coming. - You had me at when you called me Clay for I think the first time ever. - Sorry. - I just say, no, that's okay. I just, I was startled. I was like, who's Clay? I don't know. - It is kinda disarming, right? - Yeah, I'm sure. - When Daniel's friends called Dan. - Oh, oh yeah. - In the group chat that we're in, yeah. You can tell when you met me in my life based on what you called me for sure. What about you, Michael? - Mine is the QB1 for me. You're my Clay NFL, right? - That's right. - I am. - All video game or tags. - You got a couple of dubs last night and the water's so good. - Was that right? - Okay. - That's me. - I'm really good at that. I don't know what you're talking about. - Mike Jalenhurtz, he's my QB1 easily in the projections this week. He's QB2 in our consensus rankings. You know, down year fantasy wise last year because the rushing was down. And he did throw a career high 25 touchdowns last year. So I mean, remember, he could still deliver at both ways. Hopefully the rushing will bounce back a little bit. So just from a overall perspective, I think he's probably more of a mid-range QB1 this season. However, the matchup here looks great. And Jalenhurtz resume against the commanders, which again, new season, new team. I'm still unimpressed with what Washington's putting down defensively, personal wise. I don't think they're going to be much better defensively. Good defensive coach, but personal wise, I'm worried about it. So I still think these numbers stand in nine career full games against the commanders. Jalenhurtz is averaging 23.7 fantasy points per game. That is a huge number. He has at least 18 points against him in seven consecutive games, seven consecutive full games. Not one's where he left after a few snaps or rest of whatever it might be. Last year, 12 quarterbacks at 18 points against the commanders. And again, I just don't think they're very good defensively to set up for a huge start to Jalenhurtz season. They have a very light regular season schedule. So this might go on for a while. It gets tricky come playoff time. But for now, he's in a good spot. Love him this week. Obviously, he should be locked in the line. Um, top four for all of us is Jalenhurtz. I'm a little, I'm, I am at the caboose here at quarterback four. And the only reason why the reason why I'm not, you know, fully 100% in on Jalenhurtz, because I agree with you, Washington's defense will be better, but there was a lot of room to get better. So better is not dominant. Um, I still want to see what it looks like in this new offense. Yeah, that's totally fair. Jalenhurtz, the Eagles have been a very Jalenhurtz centric offense for the first, whatever it is, six or seven years of his career. He's had a, he's had a new coordinator, what, almost every year? If not literally every year, um, think about how, like just as an example of how the Eagles have always heard, like basically tailored their offense around what they do. Go look at every year. The Kellen Moore has been the play collar for his team and where that team ranks in pace of play, like how faster they move, how many plays do they run? And it's like, first, second, fifth, third, first, second, 20th. And that was the year in which he was the play collar for Jalenhurtz. And it was like, Jalen is a more sort of methodical operator at the line of scrimmage than Kellen Moore is a play collar. They're now basically saying this is the Sean Mangan system. We're going to do what Sean Mangan wants to do. It's a timing rhythm, precision passing game. We'll see how good of a fit that is. But the Eagles and definitely Jalenhurtz are saying all the right things about the confidence they seem to have in this and I will I didn't go further. Yeah. And I'll say this. They he was a mid-range QB one last year. It was down year for sure, but he was still amid at times back in QB one. And their offense was pretty atrocious for huge chunks of last year. So it's hard to imagine it's not at least a little better this year. And I know AJ Brown's not there, but they added, you know, second, they'll spread it around a little bit more. So I think from that perspective, it's fine. They still believe in the offensive line. And I think schematically it has to be better than where it was last year, which was atrocious. And again, even in an atrocious situation, he was still a QB one. So yeah, and not to mention he's just lit up the commander. So what's let's still like here? I feel confident in at least for week one. I want him to light up the commanders because that means that my quarterback. I want to talk about Jaden Daniels has a lot of garbage time to be able to do it. By the way, I wonder and I kind of want to talk about this a little bit. And I don't want to make it be too long. What we talked about this a little bit yesterday would drink me. If I have like a philosophical difference, maybe a quarterback with the way I looked at the top five versus the way that you guys have. But right now, Jaden Daniels taken on the Eagles, super tough front four. I mean, that secondary is legit. Super tough for everything. Yeah, the whole defensive. I mean, it's a really good defense. Jaden Daniels, I still have as QB five. Mike, you've got him as QB seven. Feel you've got him at QB 10. It kind of feels like even having Jaden Daniels at QB 10. And we talked about Drake May yesterday. Who you guys have outside your top 15, 14 members, same with Mike in the past. When we look at the quarterback spot, it feels like we have talked about the top five of these quarterbacks as like guys that have cheat code ability because of their rushing upside. Yeah. But even in this first week, there's been a number of these rushing quarterbacks. Jalen hurts now with Sandy because the matchup is so good. But you guys have kind of moved farther down these rankings and said, I might consider a quarterback that I drafted after these guys rather than a top five quarterback. And we would never, obviously, you wouldn't do that at the running back position. You wouldn't be like, I drafted CMC, but guess what? I'm going to play Chris Ken Walker the third this week instead. You wouldn't do that at wide receiver. And we definitely wouldn't do that at tight end. So at the quarterback spot, because we're just seeing more to quarterback builds, which is part of the off season, when I drafted a guy and used first round capital on someone, I expect him to be my guy and I'm going to likely live or die by them throughout the season. But are we at a point where you feel like there's just been a shift in the game that there is a potential where we would be benching a top five quarterback for someone that you maybe drafted in the 12th round, which is that it's different because you're only starting 10 or 12 quarterbacks running back. So I think like if you were to make the comparison or running back, it would be like, you draft a Ken Walker ahead of Javonte Williams, like Walker was RB, say nine and for Javonte. A.R.B. 14, and you might start to vaunte over, Ken Walker, this week, that's kind of, I think that's really the differentiator between the positions. We don't do that. In extreme cases, it does apply to other spots, but quarterback is so much more matchup influence than any other position we get, right? Like, Christian McCaffrey, it doesn't matter who they play, like we will lower expectations for CMC when he plays the C.O.X. perhaps a little bit, or if, you know, when, when I don't have you done the, I know the shadow report is kind of baked into the playbook now. Rochie Rice, we think you might get some pass or tan, probably, and I think he's never, yeah, he's never been, yeah, we'll get to that in a little bit, but anyway, okay, I'll leave it there. So a tough defense pass. Yes. The point is, like, you know, you might see like a slight downgrade in the player's value when, when they have a top, top defense against them, but quarterback is the one where it matters so much. So I think yesterday, because the internet did not appreciate the way that I knew, gave my argument yesterday, I think part of this for me is the idea that, and Jayden Daniels, I'm looking at him. I have him as QB five. I get how difficult this matchup is. I get all these things by you. This is one of these. I did not respect him. I had him in QB five and I moved him down to QB 10, after you had to call him QB, Jayden. I'm allowed to call him QB five, okay, because you moved him down for what it's actually was never a QB five. Oh, so you put him at five as a bit, I guess. But here's the thing I, I feel like the top five quarterbacks, when I look at them, I used a premium draft pick on those guys, which means I'm probably not going to replace them with somebody, unless I, like, there is life or death on the line for my fantasy squad. So, and I think maybe we just think about it a little bit differently from that perspective. I would say that I think that my ranking of Jayden Daniels and Drake May and week one is in line with a lot of how we've spoken about the quarterback positions, definitely throughout the off season, which is totally fine to be patient. There's so many good options. You don't necessarily need to draft Drake May in round five when you get and get Trevor Lawrence in round 11, okay, and so if I'm already advocating for the possibility of taking a Lawrence or a Herbert or a Purdy or a Caleb Williams or a Stafford late, then I'm also okay with if I did draft one of those quarterbacks early, sitting him for a week because there is just such a narrow margin between not the elite elite because that's Josh Allen, but the very, very excellent quarterbacks and the just probably really good quarterback. Yeah, we all have the top 10. So, we're, we're all ranking him as a starter, but yeah, if you took Matthew Stafford late in your draft after you took Jayden Daniels early on, you might go Stafford this week. He is. I mean, I don't think that sounds so nasty to me. And this is the, again, I think more emotionally. That sounds like what happens when I get cute trying to set my line up. I disagree. Oh, weekly game. Yeah. Yeah. It's okay to get cute though. Sometimes or it's okay to I just don't think lay it simple off. There is something to be said for getting off the tee to borrow a golf metaphor in the first week of the fantasy football season, right? Is that like, would you be more pissed if Jayden Daniels is on your bench and he scores 22 versus Philly, or if you play Trevor Lawrence, I'm sorry, or if you play Jayden Daniels and you sit Trevor Lawrence and Jayden goes for 11 and T Law goes for 17. Yeah. And it sounds like for you, the answer is I would be more pissed about not playing Jayden Daniels and having him scored outscore Trevor Lawrence than I would be if I play Jayden Daniels. And he gets me 11. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence has 17 on the bench. If I drafted one of the first five quarterbacks that I think are cheat codes because of their legs, I understand the matchup. But like I would always default to them because of what they bring to the game that's different than the other quarterbacks that would be replacing the right in this specific situation. Had Jayden Daniel stayed healthy all last year, Matthew Stafford still probably would have outscored him. Like most recently, Stafford's been a better quarterback than him. Jayden fell off a little last year. So he's coming back off an injury, tough defense like specific to this situation. I think it's totally like fine. And that scenario to take like a Stafford over Daniel, you know, someone that was really good last year. So Matthew Stafford's not going to do that again, Mike. Not probably not going to finish QB three, but he should put up some huge passing numbers in the last three years before that. He was outside the top 16 all three years. Two of them he was outside the top 20. Just on Herbert's been out to top 10 the last four years and some people like him around here. I love him. Here my love has never finished at the top 50 and some people like him at running, not the same thing. All right. All right. Imagine setting your makeup then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Mabelie, New York. Gel to mist technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all day comfy grip. No tightness. No stickiness. No residue. I knew grippy setting mist from Mabelie, New York. Maybe it's Mabelie. We're now talking about week one running backs here, two mere gets up the top. Here we go. One through five. Jaw, B, John, CMC, Devane Chan and John and the Taylor six through 10 is Saquon, Omari and Hampton, Chase Brown, Derek Henry, and Ashton Gentie. Guys, top 10 feels pretty good, to be honest, 11 James Cook tough matchup against the Houston Texans. Part of why he's outside the top 10 there. Only Williams, Breast Hall, Travis H.Anne and KW three round out the top 15 last five. That's why Walker's lower against Denver. Yep. Jeremiah Love, Kyron Williams, Cam Scataboo, Ramondra insider top 20 who we already talked about and Deandre Swift closing out the top 20 guys Mike, who you want to talk on here? Yeah. I jotted down Cam Scataboo just because there's some uncertainty in his role as well. Obviously, he only played six games as the lead back for the Giants last season was very effective. Sixth and the fantasy points for game use terrific six touchdown six games. He was fantastic. But obviously, the Abroad and Najee Harris. You still have Tyrone Tracy there. You still have Devane Singletary there who in their unofficial depth chart yet Scataboo as the starter, which I find to be notable. Yep. And then the number two running back was the three way tie between the other three running back. So we don't know what their role is going to be. I'd be more concerned about this had they listed like Harris and Scataboo as co-starters or something like other teams have the Jaguars, for example. But I feel like that's a nod that Scataboo will be the clear feature back here. The Dallas defense. I mentioned this very poor last year, but I think they're much better, especially up front. There's a weak spot. Yes. And there's a weak spot. It's the corner back position. I would say or at least a spot that needs to prove himself. So I think they'll be much better in that department. So kind of a neutral match up in my mind. The question really is just playing time with the uncertainty, the new coaching staff, coming off the major injury. When the dust settled, I kind of left him where we drafted him, which is right around the top 20. If I have Scataboo, I'm totally fine plugging him in my line. I still have him as my top ranked Giants running back. No surprise there. There's a pretty notable gap between him and anybody else. But I would put this in the observational category as well. Like I cannot wait to see what snap it is for the Giants that Naji Harris is first on the field. Yeah. Is it second quarter? Is it second play? Neither would surprise me with the Giants. It just. Yes. Right. Right. There just seems to be a legitimate feeling that Naji Harris can help them and help them right now. We'll see. And by the way, if it's 6535 between them two, still fine. That's great. Scataboo will be. He'll deliver on ATP. Like as long as he plays at that level and he's getting 60 or 65% of the snap, she's going to be fine. I almost feel like, again, the emotional hedge of my body wants them to make sure that Camp Scataboo doesn't have too much of a workload because I do have like a little bit of this injury concern with the way he plays football. If we go 65 or 35, I would be okay with that because I think they're trying to manage at least the wear and tear on his body. I want them for the full season as well. Yeah. By the way, to your point, when those six games last year, he was averaging 16.0 carries in 4.7 targets per game. That's pretty good workload. I don't think he needs that. Remember, he was RB six. He doesn't need that. 21 touches. Yeah. That's our opportunity. Yeah. He doesn't need that to be. He might need that to be an RB one, but be a good RB two. He could see, you know, that can be cut back a little bit. I think KW three can be a good RB two, but there's a really tough match up against Denver. And he seems like everything's okay. Earlier in the off season, that was a little bit of a foot thing. Seems like that's completely behind them. He's good to go as the RB one of this squad and will be the, I think, a mid tier RB two for us in fantasy field. You've got a, sorry, Mike, you've got him a little bit higher than field and I feel than I just, I think because of the match up, is that fair because of the Denver Broncos. We still have him as a starter, but I have him as RB 18. So does field. You've got him as RB 13. Yeah. Is that just buying into the talent and what they're going to do? Yeah. Projections for guys in that range, 15, 15, 15, 15, I mean, it's all, I mean, it's so close. The main thing here is very much like Stevenson. It's like, all right. If we're going to, it's not like we could roll back his volume. I mean, right. I mean, no one is there. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's going to be featured in this offense. So. I mean, Johnson and Rashad Smith. Rashad Smith, I think those are two. He was, he was quietly involved in passing situations last year. I could see him, especially if Walker, they don't trust him in those situations. Or then we thought because he did last year. So I'm excited to see Smith was like our early training camp. Oh, yeah. The chiefs have a guy. Oh, they do. Right. Every year. Justin Ross was there. Like he was in fantasy relevant, but he was involved. But at the beginning of this training camp, people were acting like the chiefs of just draft the next TY Hilton with Cyrus Allen. They did. Oh, yes. He's like, oh, yeah. The passing game is, I'm just, I just feel like the chiefs, the Broncos, there's a couple of teams every year where we get this gigantic amount of hype surrounding a player. And it feel like far more often than not, it proves to be, yeah, 49ers probably just, that's like induced by their drafting style. They always, you know, they'll be like, whoa, they took that guy into third round. Like it happened again this year, struggling in Caleb Black and, sure, looks like so far so good. And they're part with those guys, but yeah, that same thing, same thing every year. You'll give us a round back. You want to talk about here? channel, who I just feel like has consistently been one of the more under discussed. RB two, so I think has like a real pathway to being a low end RB one as well. He's got to play a ton. He got real money. I think the Alvin Camera renegotiated contract has maybe warped our brains a little bit too much. Camera was retained by the Saints, but it wasn't like it was some, I mean, that was a knockdown drag out negotiation, right? Like it's clear the Saints were preparing for life without Alvin Camera. I think he's an okay player at this juncture of his career. He means more to the franchise in this city than I think he does, sort of what they want to do offensively. So I think a channel will be very busy. This week specifically, travel Alvin Camera has not practiced and see went down with that. I think it was an MCL situation. It was a knee situation one way or the other and I have references earlier when we were talking about Kellen Moore calling plays for Jalen Hertz. This guy plays fast. Yeah. There's just more opportunities here like just do the math if the highest I'm going to guess and Mike probably knows the exact answer. I'm going to guess that the fastest-paced offense plays somewhere around like on average 73 to 75 snaps per game. I think it's less than that. Okay. And really, I think it's going to be the NFL average is like 63, 64. I would say 70. It's probably the number one to get to say the high end. Like they could be 10 extra plays compared to one of the slowest-paced offenses in the NFL, right? And just I mean, that's do the math on that. That's an extra, well, like 12 to 15% in terms of total opportunities for H and who obviously is a very capable pass catcher. This matchup this weekend obviously scares me. It's basically like playing against the 85 bears with the anger of lions. I'm kidding there. The matchup is fine. It is whatever. I don't have a strong opinion on the lions run defense. It's fine. It's not more concerned about their secondary than I am their run defense. The matchup is fine. It should be a lot of points scored on Sunday looking forward to this game. I think that HN has a real chance. He's probably one of my favorite. He's my favorite bet for guy being drafted somewhere between RB 14 and 20 to finish as RB like eight to 12. Yeah. Totally fair. Saints fastest offense last year. Average 63 plays a game, which was about average, but they weren't super efficient for chunks of last year. I'm pretty screwed up. That's dead. Well, I don't get there, but is if the offense is more efficient, obviously playing faster will lead to more place. If you're on three and out. Right. I can run a lot of plays. But the highest was actually 66 last year for Chicago. You will see teams sometimes push 68, 69 in that sort of rain 75, but the bears were 66 last year. It was the fewest. The fewest last year was 56 snaps of game. That was actually a really big day. It was the Raiders Raiders Dolphins Vikings, which actually makes sense to all Vikings also protecting their defense. But yeah, we're about to get to why 66 because we've covered our running background. Can we just take a moment? Yeah. To appreciate my clay. Oh my gosh. I don't know. Let's take a moment to appreciate field aids for one. No, let's do a dangled up in a minute, but just like I just asked a completely obscure and random stat that normally I would first go to like Google and probably struggle there for a while. Then I would like call a friend. He's be consoled and say like, why am I such a big dummy? And I can't figure out how many plays or people are running on average. And Mike is like, hold on one moment. And Mike's he's on his own database. This is just Mike's stuff. He's not like something he's pulling from. You were like, it's not like you're outsourcing to somebody else. This is clay and information. Yeah. That's baked into our projection. So that stuff updates every single week. So that sort of, that sort of, I'm just saying that that's the backbone stuff like that is the backbone for our projections. You are the backbone for our project. But like you're talking about a fast-paced Kellymor offense that our projections have integrated that the whole off season. So that stuff's always thought of always integrated. Again. It's very cool. And what I'm going to say is you integrated all of that into the projections as a part of this. So when we're looking at these numbers, you've already put so much work into it. Well, remember that when you're being mean to me. Well, I always remember it. I always remember it. We're not going to not be mean. It's just fun to be mean to you sometimes. People need to appreciate. It's a brilliant. You got to keep people in the middle. You know, you got to say humble. Right. You got to knock you down a peg. In this game. This game will humble you. This. There you go, Mike. It'll, it'll humble. You've been playing golf recently. That's right. Quite receivers. My friends here in week one diving into the top 10 one through five Pukinakua. Jamar Chase. I'm on Rossane Brown at three JSN and CD lamb six through 10. Justin Jefferson. Nico Collins. Drake London. Chris Olave and Devonta Smith, 11 through 15, Tedaroa McMillan, Garrett Wilson, George Pickens, AJ Brown and Rashi Rice all the way down at 15. And we'll talk about him in a second. Dave Flowers at 16, Lad McConkey, Ameka Ibuka, Devonta Adams and T Higgins rounding out the top 20. Can we start with Rashi Rice being wide receiver 15 here is lower than usual. Yeah. Is this again? Yeah. I took some risks on him in knockout leaks. I have them on two of my three knockout teams. So a little nervous going into week one on that one, but we're still going to fire him up. He's going to be super heavily targeted. We saw that last year. Don't forget. He averaged nine point eight targets per game when he was talking last season. That's a massive number. If he does that for a full healthy season for the first time in his career, he will be at least a mid range or wide receiver one. So there's tremendous upside for him if he stays on the field. The reason I, you know, still like him is, remember, the chiefs have been top seven and past attempts six consecutive seasons. I'm home probably isn't going to run as much this year. He's going to be throwing the ball a lot and we know rice is his top target. So feel pretty good about him. I just wanted to kind of reiterate that. Not to mention, by the way, he's first in yards after the catch as well over the last three seasons. I mean, I just don't want us to forget about the caliber of play. This guy is able to deliver as for the matchup here. You guys mentioned it earlier. Will he see a lot of parts or tan? I don't think so. He was in the slot. 44% of the time last season certain does not travel inside except for very rare occurrences. Even at times they'll put him on Travis Kelsey. We've seen that for a handful of snaps if Kelsey's out out in the slot, but he has not chatted rice at all so far in his career. So I'm not worried about that. You're going to see a lot of tyquon Thornton in the perimeter. Save your word. He's going to be out there as well and certain probably places side in this game. So not super concerned about that. Do you think past or tan is ever like, you know, I shouldn't be guarding tyquon Thornton right now, given like how good I am, but he's the one that plays on the outside. It's already hard him. It's cardio print. I mean, as long as you don't look the chiefs, if the chiefs are going to win some games this year, it's going to be or when they win games, Thornton will catch a long touchdown. Just having certain neutralize that could be a win. Raheem Sanders legend, tyquon Thornton, by the way. That's coming back. Bring it back Sanders. That's right. What's tomorrow? You got to make some money. Are you like, let's play a tiny game of buyer sale. It seems like the anti-Rashi rice case, I guess is twofold. One is how healthy is he? Andy Reid said yesterday he's going to play, but you know, not for nothing. The guy recovered from a knee surgery in jail. Yes. That's a real sentence. Yes. But Andy Reid made it seem like he's good. All right. And it wasn't like when he went underwent that knee surgery, there was reporting like even if he was recovering at his house or at a physical therapy institute, this was some six-month injury. It was just a very unique set of circumstances in terms of where he dealt with his initial recovery. That's one. But two is if the chiefs can run the football effectively enough, is that going to replace the short passing game, which Rashi Rice kind of was the fulcrum of over the past two seasons. Are you guys buying or selling that ladder one? I am selling. I think Andy Reid's resume speaks for itself. Yes. It's like we can't walk through the third can run the crap out of the ball and Rashi Rice will still see that. Well, that's all. So I mean, there's a few things specific to this matchup is, you know, Denver, like they might not win this game. They might be trailing throughout this game. So that's our one. Just in general. No, I'm getting there. I was just putting, you know, just kind of putting a bow on on the matchup here. I think that matters in this scenario too. If they were playing Arizona, I might feel like I'm a little more concerned this week about volume. But in general, I think Andy Reid's resume speaks for itself. And he always wants to throw the football. So even if it leans, even if it's not wildly pass heavy, it's still going to lean that way. I think. And it'll, they might come out in the first quarter and give it to Walker a few times, but they're going to throw the ball. Even if it's not wildly passes. You pat my homes. I still expect that target share to always just be higher with him than anyone else. And also, clearly, and also you laughed when I said, take Taikwan Thornton, like he's their number three receiver, maybe their number one perimeter receiver in some ways, like their dedicated perimeter receiver, like Travis Kelsey's what, 34, like 35, 34. What was the frame of reference in terms of games in which he averaged 9.8 targets? It was just last season. Was it like, is that goes back to member two years ago? He got hurt in the third fourth game of this season. So I believe if you go back to the start of 2024, if I did my math correctly, not the biggest brain here, in the past 10 games, he has 107 targets. The 11th game was the game in which you got hurt against the chargers very early in it. That's over. It's nearly 11 games. It's a start of 2024. So if he's fully healthy and if the chiefs don't dramatically shift their offensive approach, he has a chance to be, you know, top five ish in targets this season. The other guy that has a chance to be top five in targets this season, or at least he was last year, guys, Chris O'Lava, Chris O'Lava is perennially underrated. I feel like at the wide receiver spot still when you look at everything that he did. I think this offseason, he had his come up, but before that, I would agree. Okay. But you think he's finally getting the rightful just do that he deserves is while it is fat enough to suggest that that's fair. That's fair. All right. 32 million or whatever it is. A year, 35 million. Top five in targets. Top five in receptions. 7th, 7th in receiving yards, 6th in receiving touchdowns. What's going to. to change this week is he plays the Detroit lines who are still dealing with a bunch of secondary issues, not going to have their two starting safeties, not going to have their number two cornerback now. So it's going to be a situation in which he is going to be the one of the featured guys. I have them as a top 10 wide receiver in a great spot against the Detroit lines. Love me, some Chris Olave as a starter this week. How do you against that, right? Yeah, agreed. I was just going to say now it's the time to get the lines defense. Yes, it's probably a line secondary because at some point this year probably midway through the season, they're going to be healthy or probably Joseph Brian branch come back that they should be different. We would expect, you know, they're both out at least four games, but at some point, they'll be back and healthy. Hopefully barring a setback cornerback remains a question mark, but having those guys at safety, not to mention the depth and the diversity branch could play the slot that kind of stuff. It's going to be a game changer. I think this is a line's defense that could start poorly and finish strongly and make them a serious contender, especially with the light schedule this year. So yeah, Lave in a great spot here and also we think that this game lines, you talked about the implied total, one of the highest implied totals of the week. You expect the Detroit lines to be scoring a lot, which means they're going to have to throw a lot. It fits really nicely. Actually, for all of the Saints to be honest in this audience, because I think Travis H&N's a great pass catcher on the backfield too. I'll be curious on a Lave and this applies to all the Saints. Any time a team comes on really hot down the stretch, I ask myself, is this signs of real improvement or is this at the end of the year, let's just face it, like teams are back up with injury, teams are perhaps jockeying for draft position. Did the Saints win a bunch of games down the stretch last year because they got a lot better and it suggests they're about to make a real leap or do they perhaps feast on a semi week schedule that was also influenced by teams that were on to different goals and priorities. My lead is this team is ready for a real leap. Like I think they have an actual shot to win this division this year. I'm just mentioning that as like a potential called a yellow flag in case things don't come out of the gates, red hot for the passing game. Like it finished down the stretch last year there. White receiver six in the White receiver rankings for all three of us is Justin Jefferson. I don't really have any analysis other than two things. One got a faith, got a faith. But the Packers, one of the most prominent stories that I've read about during the summer surrounding the Packers was who are the starting cornerbacks on the game? No, right. Keisha Nixon, a former standout as a return man had become a very capable corner, kind of a no man's land right now in his job. So what does this offense? Look, you know, this defense look like Nate Hobbs who they signed last off season was like a total bust for them in his first season with the team. So like, what do you do with this secondary and can it provide any resistance to Justin Jefferson? I mean, again, I don't have any analysis. My wide receiver six, like let's see 10 targets and let's see Tyler Murray do his job. Yeah. That's the key. Just set him up and actually on target throws conversions near the goal line. Just be better more efficiently. But yeah, if they come out and he has six targets this week, it's going to be like, what are we doing here? We're going to the entire state of Minnesota would all the fantasy football would revolt. Tyler Murray cannot have six targets of Justin Jefferson a week. And I don't think that will happen, but we've been frustrated with Kyler before where he just like he was an open, like, you know, but that was the Harrison. Right. I know Harrison and Jefferson aren't the same guy. I get that. But we can't have that commentary in the post game locker room. It is you didn't have Murray last year. Say it's not my job to get him the football. Yeah. That's what Marvin has. That's a tough one. It's like Marvin Harrison. We're like, okay, maybe there's something there. It wasn't working. Right. It's not okay with Justin. Yes. It's you. It's you. The right. Exactly. If you're not getting him the ball, you're the problem. I won't overreact. If Christian McCaffrey only has four targets in week one, I'm going to like, I'm not going to be like, oh my God, they aren't involving him in the passing game. Justin Jefferson, if he only has five or six targets in week one, yes, I will overreact. Yep. Yeah. Agreed. Let's take a couple questions from our chat. My friends first one comments from the Carter 901 Carter. Thanks for hanging out with us in the chat. Why is everyone sleeping on Daniel Jones so hard this year? He's literally undrafted in almost every league was averaging over 20 fantasy points a game last season. Who might play? This is totally fair. I believe he was the QB7 before he got hurt last season. I think there's a couple of reasons here. One is first of all, is rushing to drop off last year. And now he's coming off a major injury to his leg. So to his knee. So at least that's what that's what could limit his upside. Also that offense was pumping out three and a half touchdowns per game last year. It's hard to imagine they can do that again. That's just such a hard number to do. Teams just don't sustain that year to year. We've seen the chiefs fall off from from being able to do something like that. So that's a hesitation. Also, there's massive depth at the quarterback position, which we've just hammered a death all off season. That being said, in super flex. It's been one of my favorite QB2 targets. So I totally get where you're coming from. I've viewed him as a value this year. But the fact is when you're looking at the top 10 or 12, starting quarterback options week to week, he's just not there right now. There's just so many quality options. Let's I think we have a couple more male bags and then let's rip through tight ends because we want to get to our ranking question. Yeah, we got some fun stuff. Let's get to the fun stuff. Typical field. Yeah, care about ball. Just wants to know another question from our YouTube chat. This one comes from Jordan stuck wants to know start to in a super flex league. Drake May, Matthew Stafford and Tyler. Sounds like Jordan is stuck on Chuck. Hey, oh, um, ranking to me. I'm almost positive of Drake May and Matthew Stafford. Oh, me too. I've chucked way down. Against the Detroit lines. You have them way down the list. Yeah. I mean, just compared to those guys. Yeah. I would lay into the first two. I would play. No, you play. Drake May and Tyler Shuck and I would bench Matthew Stafford. Okay. I'm out on Matthew Stafford. Wow. Interesting. It was last year. All right. One more question here from our chat. Yes, think of Roma dunes. I plays this week. I lean towards yes. I would lean towards yes too. I haven't seen it. I haven't heard enough panic, but they today. We'll find out more today. They today, but I lean towards yes. It's my. I love the instinct. I was going to say I have to if he does play, do we think there's going to be a workload thing there? Or is it just honestly, if a guy is is needing to be managed snap wise with a relatively new injury in week one, you shouldn't be playing him. Right. Like George Kindle, I get a different message. But if it's like he tweaked his foot in practice 10 days ago, we're going to let him play 20 snaps. Just don't let him play at all. Sure. Because we're outland. Speaking of George Kindle, let's talk about some tight ends here really quickly. We're going to go. Just in case you need to replace George Kindle, we're going to look at the top 10 tight ends this week, Brock Bois, Tramick bride, Colson Lovelin, Tyler Warren, Harold Fanon, get used to those names, probably being at the top five of the list many weeks. Sam Laporta, Kyle Pits, Dallas Goddard, Travis Kelsey, and Mark Andrews, round out the top 10 there, my friends. When I look at this list, I got to be honest. Just falls off so quickly, really, after about the fourth or second tight ends. It's just different. It feels very gnarly. I'm going to really quickly start with Sam Laporta guys just in this offense. Sam Laporta back has been looking better in practice, been dealing with that back and hip injury, but things have sounded good, feeling a lot better about rolling him out week one. So not worried about any of the injury concerns that we had leading into the season right now, even though there's a lot of different mouths in that offense defeat. He's still going to be a starter in the lines against the Saints. So we have him as a top 10 tight end, but good to go. No reason to be concerned about the injury as of right now. I've got a top eight ranking on Isaiah likely, who was one of the higher client papers and ranks for me during the preseason. We talked yesterday. I think it was about the derriest Slayton Compton by the name of giants. Perhaps a sign of confidence and Malik neighbors, perhaps a sign of confidence and Malachi fields, perhaps a sign of confidence. And Isaiah likely who's going to be on the field when the team is throwing the football very talented guy. You got a good contract this off season. I think Isaiah likely is sort of a sneaky back end tight end one. You know who I say I likely used to play for John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens. After he played for Coastal Carolina in college. And we don't carry him on too far. Everett High School Massachusetts. That's too many him and Mikey Sanvers likely that we don't care about all of that stuff. He just said other than the Ravens par because that's my segue into Mark Andrews. Mike's just like, let me get my stat. You let me get my segue in here. I tried so hard to be Daniel. I know you did it. It was you were so good with it. That's Michael. And also yesterday you said we haven't talked about Mark Andrews all off season. Of course I picked Mark Andrews. Look, I don't know if we're too low or too high on this guy. I mean, he was 24th in fantasy points, bring him last year. He used to be top five every single year. But there are a lot of circumstances that have changed new coaching staff. Healthy Lamar Jackson. Isaiah likely is not there anymore. They're still kind of shallow at the wide receiver position. So I think Andrews has at least a shot to bounce back. They're playing the Colts. They struggled against tight ends last year. They definitely they might have the shakiest linebacker situation in the NFL. So there's opportunities for him to get off to a good start. And remember, say what you want about his drop off in usage last year in production. He is still a force near the goal line. He's finished top 10 in end zone targets to tighten seven consecutive seasons. So he's still he stays busy in that area. We know Lamar likes him in that range. So there's a chance. That's why we have for him ranked as a French top 10 option. We'll see you in week one. Yeah. He can kind of rebound and get back to that Mike Mark Andrews type layer that we've seen in the past. Now that Isaiah likely is over there. Couple of other guys we want to bring to the table just a few other before we get out here. I want to do another tight end. If you don't mind, how do you guys feel about Joanne Johnson? Because if I've got George Kittle, I like him against the lines. He only feels fine to you as a number. Okay. He's fine. He's like one of the ultimate fine players. He's just a fine guy. Okay. Yeah. I like to match up this week. I like the idea that we're going to have a condensed target tree. No Jordan Tyson again playing the lions. And with that implied total, I liked him as someone that you could potentially use in week one. If you had concerns with Kittle or Tucker. Remember the beginning of last season. This carried on for a lot of last year. Like he was playing every snap for the Saints early. on in the season last years. I'll be on the field a lot. I'll be on the field a lot for sure. Hopefully we have a lot of a way to play. You think they get to 75 plays? Probably not. That was just a fantastic experience. How it turns out the game goes. It could happen. What about you, Feele Jates? Didn't know Damirino throw for 8,000 yards in a year. That was correct, right? He nailed it. It was 9,000. I'll say it again. Wondail Robinson time, baby. I don't know why I'm banging the table. I'm banging the table for Wondail Robinson. I just feel like every year there's a guy that just sort of, he doesn't win you your league, right? But he saves your bacon for you. You're like, I drafted this guy as my fourth or fifth wide receiver and he ends up being incredibly valuable to me. I think he's going to lead the Titans and catch his targets and receiving yards. Bam, I said it. Interesting. He is Jarvis Landry, right? Of this generation right now with fantasy. I've got him as money wrong about this. Wide receiver 27 for me this week. You guys are both at wide receiver 39. I'm in. Yeah. Yeah. We're a little lower. Just thinking a lot of carnal tape there. I might be able to hear too high and Calvin really still having a roll in that off. We'll see. It's not like I'm starting him. But yeah, like Coral and Sutton, Michael Pittman, those kind of guys like, you know, just might be your wide receiver three and just get the job done for you. Yep. I just wanted to briefly mention Marvin Harrison Jr. Oh, yeah. Not a line up lock. He's just outside my top 30, but the place of chargers. I remember he was very good. Better than you realize, which you go be present in four games last year. So still find to start him. And the other one is I wanted to mention the Jags backfield. The Shaltu and Chris Rodriguez listed as co-starters will Quinn Allen dicey for this game. If he's out, that's going to open up at a couple extra targets. He much like Bashar Smith, who I mentioned earlier, quietly more involved in you realize in the passing game for Jackson, the last season. If he's out, that opens up a little bit more for two and then maybe Rodriguez and makes them more palatable starting options. I'm not going to start Rodriguez this week till we see if he is involved in the passing game, but Tuton is certainly on the RB two radar. We are going to be going back to our game by game recaps starting on Monday of the subcombing week. Yeah. Maybe yeah, own T to the Jaguars wide receiver and running back deployments will be mentioned in that. I will be just reading off snap counts on Monday. I mean, that's going to be that's snap counts and week one are like and touches are the most important thing I learned so much from honestly being able to have like Mike just get the stat feed right into his veins from the NFL. Like I'm not prepping for Monday. I'm just literally going to have the snap count. I have a doc like a sheet that shows the snap counts and I'm just going to tell you what they say. That's it. That's a most important thing we can learn and we really is. He's going to be like, guys, Jerry Judy had a 14th target. I don't know if it's very Judy led the rounds and routes run or something. Please don't. Please don't. I shouldn't have said that. I don't want that. That might happen actually. Let's do some random rings. Guys, we wanted to have a little bit of fun. I was talking with our producers and we want to rank a few fun things. I was thinking about, I think it was a couple of years ago. I accidentally had an accident in an eye doctor's a bathroom. Remember this, actually, bad place to have a bathroom emergency. I wanted to ask you guys top three worst places to have a bathroom emergency, whether it's yours or I know you're also parents of children. Yes. Oh boy. Maybe they that comes to the table as well. But who wants to start? We each brought three to the table three two one. We do all do our three is all do our threes and then all do our ones. Yes. And then we want chat just to weigh in. Do you guys have a worst place to have a bathroom emergency or if one of ours is the best? I thought it was I think we all should be able to go like one at the time because if I read all of mine, like you could have two of my three picks. Oh, that's fair. Okay. I buy a little bit of extra to the table. But Mike, why don't you start? You want me to do just number three? Number three. Okay. Three for me is a stuck elevator. It'll start easy. We're going to start simple. But that seems about as bad as it gets because there's no escaping for anyone. There isn't. No. And you can't go anywhere. You're stuck. You're you're there. Yeah. You're not going. That's tough. I forget. I forget what movie it was. Maybe it was a TV show. But there's a scene where a guy is on the elevator with I believe a woman. So it's even more embarrassing. And he has to like let one rip and he goes in type places. Give me gas. It was you. Yeah. Number three for me. A ski mountain. Oh, you know why? Why? It's all well and good. And you're like, dude, you can just go to the tree. Yes. Okay. Well, if you're like wanting really have to go shedding all those layers is not fun. Yes. And then what assume you do shed all those layers? Your tootsies and your booty are freezing. Yes. Like that sucks. And if someone comes by, you can't just like quickly throw them back. It's very popular. Also, a lot of ski pants are ski pants like overalls where they go all the way over your shoulders. Yeah. Like how you're just pulling your pants down. It's tough. That's a guy almost had this was a late cut for me. I'm also good. I like that. That exact one for that exact reason. Not that I've experienced this before anything. Mine was similar to Mike's because they're kind of the same thing but different. I said an airplane because being stuck in a tight place. Not a lot of people that are there. What are you going to do? Everyone knows that it's you. Yeah. You can't get away from the smells of stuff. And it's just like, I thought about that but at least you have a bathroom. There is at least a bathroom there. Yes. Yeah. There is a bathroom. But everybody knows when you walk into the bathroom and the indicator light is off. Yes. And they're like, wait, why has it been red for nine minutes straight? And then when you come out the door opens and everyone gets that first smell and then they know it's you because you the only one walking down the world. That's just not great. The bathroom is not a good spot. Give us your number two. All right. Number two for me, this is somewhere I visited often. So I know this would be bad. But at the front of the line after a 90 minute wait for rise of the resistance at New World. You don't you know, you don't have the you didn't get the fast pass area that you know, you didn't get it this time. Yep. You wait a 90 minutes for the ride who waited in line, which is something I'm bad about. I'm all over the app and the passes. But you get to the front of the line and then you have to go on that ride too. Yeah. Hold it or avatar, whatever it is, whatever you're waiting for. You have to make it through all that that's shifting around. I mean, that'll be a nightmare. That will be a bad. And by the way, hypothetically speaking with young kids too, you get to the front of line. They're like, I have to pee even that too is like that's all different. I guess that's a bathroom emergency. That qualifies that qualifies. But that's I've been there. It's like, can you wait like five minutes so we get through this ride anywhere where there's a lot of people is a problem. Like because there's nowhere to hide. Yep. Which is why my number two ping hear me out here is a mall. Oh, it's a good mall stinks for a few reason. First of all, there's lots of people, right? So you're being judged by eyeballs, probably 99.9% of which have no idea who you are. Yeah. Second of all, malls have bathrooms, but malls bathrooms are never close to where you are. Somehow, it's like you're you're in whatever banana republic. And the the bathroom is as far away as you could possibly be at whatever William Sonoma. And you're like, how is it eight miles to the closest mom of the closest bathroom on top of that? You can't run in the mall. There's no reason to run in a mall unless you're a kid. That's true. Other than you got bubble guts. Yes. So being second of all, awful place to have a bathroom emergency. I agree with that. I agree with that. But if you're like trying on clothes in the mall too, like, hey, I'm trying on Daniel's trying on some new leather pants. Now he has to buy them. I think he's close smell. I don't. I don't. I don't. Um, I brought another one that's similar to that one. But this one's specifically about being a dude. Okay. And it's a sporting event. Oh, not a good place. Because here's the thing. You go to any like, let's say you go to TD Garden, right? And this is not about anyone in Boston. This is any sporting event. Any city is not about Boston. If I have to do a number two, yeah, there've been at least 35 dudes that have just peed all over the toilet seat. They don't care about lifting it up. It's everything about a actual bathroom to do that in a stadium is just gross. You're basically just sitting in urine and it's disgusting. You got to wipe it all up. And then you're like, I can't believe I'm doing this. And then I still got to do the thing that I am like, here for I think going to the bathroom at a stadium with like a bunch of other people is just disgusting. Because men are gross. Y'all need to grow up and get some mothers or something. True. That's a good idea. Not wrong. All right. I can't. No, no, come back. Got it. All right. Got it. All right. My turn. Number one. All right. Number one for me. 959 AM Eastern Sunday through Friday from mid-September through mid-January. The worst time. That's fair. That's a really good one. We begin. Yes. Fantasy focus countdown and fantasy focus. We're in it before showtime. Oh god. That can be tough. Yeah. So if, you know, the show starts and only two of us are here, either Daniels and traffic or someone had a bathroom emergency. Yeah. You're higher consistent. We like I will. I don't care if I if I have not. I don't have been in the desert for a week. Like I will go to the bathroom before our show just. Just just to me, it's a prince. I think I always do just I don't want to be sitting there at 10.45. Like, oh my god. Is that where you guys always like disappear to? I had no idea. You don't invite me to go to the bathroom with you. I just found out now and for everybody that I get left out of bathroom. Well, there's only two stalls in there. So just actually actually that's a that's that can be another one. Like a bathroom etiquette. So there's two. What do you do? So the field and I go in. I always give him that and I go in the stall because I feel like you don't just stand right now. They're the bathroom is empty. You don't stand right next to someone, right? Two year olds with a partition, but Mike goes into this stall because it just feels weird. If you walk in together and you just go, why would you stand right next to each other in this gigantic bathroom? It makes no sense. So I go in the most important is when there's three animals. You don't take the middle one. Never. Never. People are good about that. All right. Last one for me. Yep. Wedding ceremony. Awful place to have an emergency because again, wedding ceremonies generally speaking aren't that long. Like my wedding was 20 minutes, maybe 25. I guess if you go to a Catholic wedding, they could be closer to an hour. But the idea is like you're getting seated this for this very special occasion. There's really no reason to get up. And then if you do get up, everybody starts looking at you. You distract from the bride who all of a sudden is pissed at you and I'm like, where'd you go? and it's like, I'm sorry, I had three Burrito's for breakfast. - Gosh, what do you do in that? Like, how do you leave there? How do you, I think you just gotta get up and take the hit. - Yeah, 'cause like, it's better for you to do that than to actually disrupt the wedding. - Or you like, you get up, you just, you go, you walk, and just like, if anybody acknowledges you, just be like, couldn't be happier for you guys to a lifetime of happy- - That's it. - But I gotta go. - You gotta own it. Like, that's really the only thing you can do. - Yeah, that's what you don't wanna ruin anything. - That would actually be kind of like a baller move. Like, that would be a thing that they would remember forever in their wedding if you did it the right way, maybe. - Oh, god. - What's your pick? - What, you guys aren't my favorite, but you're a solid number two, you're outta there. (laughing) Boom, outta there. - I wish I didn't have a number one. I wanna end on that. Michael, that was so good. - Try the Ville, let's go. - All right, my number one is, I have a story, a true story that happened. This is a real thing, but I think the worst place to have a bathroom emergency is doing a traffic stop. (laughing) My friend Scott, my actual friend Scott, it's not like Field's roommate from Wesley and who had a cousin who had this happen. Like, my actual friend Scott, I promise you this entire thing happened, was driving up 91, going to Vermont. Started to feel sick, and it was the kind of sick where like he was fine, but it was like, you know, you get like the hot sweat, so you start feeling like you're keeping down like from throwing up, and it's just like, I don't know where, he's like, I'm trying to hold out until I can get to the next exit. I'll go to the bathroom, I'll, whatever. It just keeps being no exits. Like, for him to not do it, it gets to a point where he's like, I can't, I can't do this anymore. He's about to like throw up while he's driving in the car, pulls off to the side of the road, and falls to the ground, and starts to vomit. While he is vomiting, his body like starts to spasm, and a little bit comes out, the other side. He's now on his hands and knees on the side of the highway, throwing up, a little bit just came out the backside, and after he's done, he stands up and turns around, and a state trooper had pulled over right behind him to watch him. - Oh no. - And so he, after first doing a medical emergency check, is like, okay, now that I know that you're not dying, you clearly are intoxicated. If I'm just watching, you'll be throwing up on the side of the highway all over the place. And he's like, I actually did a number two. Can I go get a towel from my bag? He's like, nope, you're gonna have to stand right here. - Oh no. - He's in his shorts and a pair of slippers, like flip flops. - In December? - In December, 'cause he's driving. He's just driving to Vermont where he's gonna go. He stands there for a half an hour. They make him do the line, walks a line. His breathalyzer isn't working, so he calls a second police officer. Makes him come over and blow a 0.00, and he's standing there this entire time with poop in his pants. - All right. - At a traffic stop. - But those rings and them out. (laughing) - Listen, I'll wrap up with this. If you ever have a bathroom emergency, - His name is Scott. (laughing) - Just remember, diarrhea is hereditary, it runs in your jeans, okay? - I'm gonna leave it at that. - Okay, let's do a couple of from chat real fast before we get out of here. - King Rant's lot worse place. - Oh no. - No roller coaster. - That's pretty close. - I thought about saying a lot. That wasn't obviously. - That's bad, right? - Exactly the same thing. - That's pretty close one, guys. - Oh god. - The dinner-- - That's a good one right there. - A parent's hat. - Bad way to break the ice. - Yeah, I know. - I mean, a meeting new significant and others parents would be a tough one. No one nice. (laughing) - I put my pants more times in the last two years than I have in the previous 30. That's just nice to know. - That's just a fun fact. - Yeah, it's just, in case you guys were wondering about that one, Zebediah says skydiving. - Oh, yeah. - Imagine skydiving. What would you do 'cause you're strapped into the guy behind you who's helping you a skydive? - And then by the way, when your stuff hits the ground, like that's gonna be moving many, many miles per hour. - You can watch out below. - I like the person, it's tag DSP and NFL. (laughing) - That's also nice to me. - Like what is that? - What are they talking about on the show? - I gotta be honest with you guys, love doing the show with you. I thought that was one of our crappy episodes. - We love you guys, thanks for hanging out with us. - Have fun watching football Wednesday night football tonight. Make sure you set your line up. We'll be back tomorrow with a big week one preview for Michael and Field. My name is Daniel. We love you guys. Don't forget to love each other and be kind to yourself.
