The episode focuses on fantasy football strategy after week two, highlighting key injuries and player availability. Running back options include Jonah Coleman (Broncos) as the top pick due to strong game performance and high snap count, while Tank Bigsby (Eagles) is recommended as a reliable backup. Wide receivers like Denzel Boston (Browns) and Rashad Bateman (Ravens) are seen as top waiver wire targets due to consistent usage and volume. Tight end depth is improved by Nico Collins' injury, making Dalton Schulz and Pat Fryer viable backups. The Saints’ backfield instability raises concerns about Travis HN and Alvin Camara, though both have potential. The discussion also touches on broader themes, such as the importance of hardworking behind-the-scenes personnel, promoted by Carhartt and Verizon. Trivia segments add entertainment, with questions on ZZ Top concert pricing and NHL goalies playing without masks, ending with a strong emphasis on player evaluation, injury monitoring, and strategic flexibility in fantasy football.

Welcome to the ringer fantasy football show, my name is Danny Heifetz and I'm dreaded
by Danny Kelly and Craig Coral back and we are going over all the players you need to add
after week two, entry week three, for the NFL season, emails, fantasy court emails for
power hour on Wednesday, emails, trivia questions here, so it's going to work.
We're going to go position by position.
We're going to give the top pick from a position and then like the waiver wire, only one of us
gets them.
So we'll do a trivia tiebreaker and then we'll figure it out.
We'll try to help you figure out which positions and which players that each position
out of waivers.
It's not that complicated.
I promise you'll figure it out.
Email us at ringer fantasy football gmail.com, send us those.
A lot of players got hurt this week Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Sequan Barkley,
Jacob Dobbins, Rico Dattles, Jadarian Price, Jonathan Brooks, the whole Mike Evans, Jayden
Reed.
There's a range of brutal out for the season to boo booze and everything in between.
We will go with running backs, but we do have to start with Caleb Williams, who I thought
was getting carted off with like a torn ACL.
I would not see him play football for a year, to our own Tom Pelicero here at the ringer
posting that Caleb Williams avoided any major injury to his entering Sunday, test confirmed.
And the team is not even ruling Caleb Williams out for next week's game on Monday night football
against the Eagles.
Well, that Benji was an unsaid that he's planning for him to miss some time.
Yes.
So in theory, he could be practiced.
He'll miss a week or two.
And now so what do you make of Caleb Williams going from a fallen hero to now kind of a meme
where everyone's like, oh, look, it's like my dog when he gets back from the vet and
it cost me $800 and he's fine.
Yeah.
The most popular meme on socials today was basically me stubbing my toe and then it's
like a picture of Caleb Williams, like getting carted off, like pumping his fist, like,
you know, crying and whatnot.
Not maybe, you know, look, it's easy to make fun of that in the moment.
I'm sure he thought it was hurt really badly.
Well, if you tell me when you pulled your hamstring and I saw it was a giant bruise on your
hamstring.
You had a grade one hamstring strain.
How painful was that in the moment?
You know, I didn't have the game on the line like Caleb did also didn't scream that much.
My friends thought I was fine for two hours, you know, so we all have different pain thresholds.
Exactly.
Yeah.
So, you know, I'm at like great news though for the Bears.
I.
Yeah, you're right.
Look, he was in pain.
You don't want to mock anyone for the reaction to pain.
Williams said that, uh, should we rank like the best memes of Caleb Williams getting
carted off?
Sure.
My favorite.
You have a power ranking.
I think the number one has to be the someone posted me waking up with a sore back on
that weird hospital couch while my wife is giving birth.
Yeah, take him to towel off your head and waving to the crowd.
Running back, DK, actually a lot of players and waivers this week.
I feel like week one was a little light.
There's Devon Velae, maybe Kaelin Black and then Kaelin Black got hurt as soon as we
did the episode.
Covid that it's Monday night football is later tonight.
Rams giants, obviously needless to say if there's any big injuries and Rams and giants,
that would affect some of our thoughts here.
But with that said, there's some big games on the board, DK, I'm curious.
Who is your number one running back?
You would add after week two, entering week three for Fantasy football.
There's a couple of good options at running back this week and it's hard to figure out which
one is the top one.
I think I lean Jonah Coleman of the Broncos, who basically came in late in the game.
He looked pretty good, scored a touchdown, he had 10 rushes for 39 yards.
He played 42% of the snaps.
RJ Harvey missed the game with a hamstring injury, I believe, or a groin, a hamstring injury.
Dobbins left the game with a hamstring injury.
The thing that complicates this is we don't know when RJ Harvey will be back, it could
be this week.
Apparently Dobbins is okay, or at least that's what he told reporters that he's going
to be fine.
There is a very uncertain rotation with the Broncos going forward, but I just want to
try and grab a piece of that upside right now before, if he ends up starting for them
for like three weeks or longer, you kind of want to get on that train right now.
I would probably go Jonah Coleman.
I agree with that.
It's running back as tricky this week because you have until the end of Tuesday to submit
your waivers and the next 24 hours will be very important in terms of what the injury
news says because the other guy I'm thinking about specifically for like, you need a one-week
pick.
Tank Bigsby, the eagle is running back.
If Safequans out, I think I would take Tank.
Yeah.
He had the stinger and people think it's like a neck, is it a disc issue, is it a shoulder
issue?
No one really knows.
And he came back in the game, but then he ended up needing an MRI after the game.
So we're recording Monday afternoon.
We still don't have any updates on Safequans.
So if Safequans missing the game, Tank is number one for me.
If not, Jonah Coleman is number one for me.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
I think that no matter the results of Safequans MRI, like if you have Safequan Barkley,
I would just add Tank Bigsby, or if you're going against Safequan because the eagle's
play Monday night football against the bear.
So if Safequans out for that game, you might not know on Sunday when you sit the rest of
your lineup.
So just having Tank Bigsby in your lineup will make your life easier, or if you're playing
against Safequan, like having Tank Bigsby will make their life harder.
Overall, I'm kind of like, if you're running back, it's one thing to not handcuff your
running back before the season.
Once your running back gets hurt even a little, I'm like, just add the backup if you know
their backups going to get a lot of work.
I feel that way for Ash and Gentie with Mike Washington Jr. and the Raiders just have Mike
Washington.
Gentie's ankle got tweaked at the end of that game.
Just have Mike Washington on your team, even if Gentie's going to play.
And honestly, I'm at Johnson for the Chiefs who looks great and he's not playing a ton,
but at this point, Ken Walker is so good.
But if you have Ken Walker just to add, I'm at Johnson.
You know what I mean?
There are certain players that do feel like they would get a lot of the work for the
starter and Tank Bigsies at the head of the line.
However, I do think that number one guy's Jonah Coleman this week.
That would be my pick this week for every.
None of you guys think Alvin Camara is the actual pick here or what do we do with Alvin
Camara?
So we have to talk about Travis HN.
So the first half of Bill Parnell pointed this out immediately.
Travis HN had two touches in the first half and Alvin Camara had 10 for the Saints game
against the Ravens, 10 touches for Camara.
Travis HN got paid basically the same amount of guaranteed money as Ken Walker in free
agency.
And Ken Walker is basically leading the NFL and everything.
All-purpose yards, touches, all this stuff.
And then Travis HN is again, like being outtouched in the first half by Alvin Camara
who we thought was retiring six months ago.
Yeah.
I kind of don't really understand it.
I guess the Saints were losing for the majority of the game and maybe Camara.
But again, it was the first half of the game.
The game wasn't a blowout.
I was really surprised that Camara was playing so much because HN week wanted seven catches.
And then this week he had two catches and Camara came in and played a lot more.
So now I'm kind of like, I don't know, I'm, I'm, I think I'm less bullish on Camara and
I'm more just nervous about ETN or HN.
Yeah.
Camara had four catches.
Yeah.
Like how much of a disaster is this?
Like is ETN a by-law or do you guys feel like this is a bad sign in a huge red flag?
I think HN's a by-law, but he's a by-law because the people who drafted him are worried
that it's like the worst pick they made in the entire season and maybe you used your
fourth pick on Travis HN and the Saints are running the most plays and being amazing and
having a great like come back offense and Travis HN's barely part of it.
So I think that's what you need for a by-law is like the person has to totally regret taking
that player.
I think Travis HN looks better like he has way more juice.
And I do kind of think it's a quirk of, I don't want to say randomness, but I don't
think it will continue.
I think Travis HN will get the ball more going forward.
Put it this way.
We'll probably do a by-law sell high episode after three weeks because it's kind of hard
to make a trade after two weeks, so we usually do it after three.
If Travis HN continues this week, I would try to trade for him because people are going
panic if Travis H. It doesn't get a larger workload next week because it's a running
ton of plays. They did just lose their tackle, Kellyn Banks. Yes, Kellyn Banks. I mean,
that's a minimum of 10 weeks to the high ankle sprain. So they're they're surgery lift
tackle. Yeah. So the same thing left tackle. I mean, honestly, I don't think it's a
spread. I would be a broke his ankle. He had a severe high ankle sprain is what I
read. So it's going to get he has to get surgery and I like that tight rope baby or
whatever. I would be a hard avoid for the Saints backfield because not not only does Alvin
come here throw a huge wrench in it. But if you remember back in week one, Kendra Miller
had like nine carries. He got the touchdown. It's just I think it's going to be a massive
getting the ball a lot. They get this they have this undrafted C.J. Donaldson guy who's
getting snaps every game too. It took to me. It just looks like a a nightmare rotation
at running back and every week is going to be a little bit weird. I think that they're
going to they're going to pay him. I think there's an element of hot hate. I think what
it comes down to I just think sometimes this randomness, but here's the thing. Most of
the times I'm pretty happy to be like, I'll write off this backfield. There's four backfields
you don't want in any given year. The problem is the Saints are running one of the fastest
offense in the NFL and so many plays, not just because they played a bunch of overtime
and then the throwing, but the pace they're running so many plays per game that believe
it or not Travis H and as much as it's kind of a disaster. If you just look at straight
snaps, right? Travis H and his believe are not ninth and snaps total. Now part of that's
over time in the Saints having more drives, but he has more snaps than Chavante Williams
or Chubar Bucky Irving just raw snaps. I'm like, the Saints offense because it's running
so many plays and Tyler Schuck looks really competent. Even with the left tackle going
down, I'm like, I think he's a huge buy low. So all this to say is I kind of think Camaro
is also a viable player because I'm like, damn, well if Camaro's going to play and the
Saints are going to be throwing this much, I'm like, Camaro might get a lot of catches.
So 14 touches in this game. That's the thing. I'm like, he doesn't
look great, but I don't think he looks, I don't think Camaro will necessarily stop playing.
I, you know, it probably is his last season, maybe. I don't think he looks like great Alvin
Camaro standards, but I think he's serviceable. Yeah, he's still Alvin Camaro. It's kind
of crazy. He probably is the most season long value. But if you're really in a pinch for
this week, if Jackie Dobbins comes back and these people come back, you could play Alvin
Camaro. I, you know, it's a fascinating thing, the ETN thing. If you should go after him
because you could probably get him for very cheap right now. And I have the discourse
on line. It's like he's one of the worst picks and drafts. And he's in a complete time
share. And others are like, this is an obvious by low. You should go after him now.
I think it's a by low. I think it's a room. I think you should always remember this time
of year, how much things can change, like even within one season. This is a thing I want
to be better about next off season when we talk about fantasy of like, we're like, this
is what he did last season. This many points. It's like, dude, it's a roller coaster, man.
It goes up and down in the vibes. And for any player, you look at like Bryce Young last
year, just in December, beats the Rams. And then the Monday night football against the
Niners, we were like, maybe he shouldn't start. And then they almost want to play off
game against the Rams and like a five week stretch. So it's this simple. They are paying
him 14 million a year. Like, like, he's going to play. And he's not like, he looks good
kind of. So I, I, I'm, they gave him four or 12 million dollars per year for two years,
like he's going to play. So I think Travis H, it's a by low. But that doesn't mean Cameras
not a viable player. So we're landing on Jonah Coleman, correct? Yeah. I think he's the,
yeah. That means it's time. Wait, hold on. I have an important announcement. Okay. Today's
showdown time is presented by car heart. Oh, nice. Every showdown needs a stage, which
means someone has to build the stadium, prep the field, assemble the goalpost, even make
the footballs. Car heart makes the gear for those hard working people. Now, let's get
into the hard working players. We're adding to our roster this week. How you love it?
Love car heart. I own some car heart pieces pieces. Okay. That means it is time for the
Jonah Coleman showdown time. Love it. Gongs the best part of my day. Okay. We should
say before we go into this week's trivia, the total score from week from last week is
I'm in first with seven points. Hi, if it's with six, DK with five. John, this email's
John John. Okay, bone. Johnny is breakfast was an Earl Grey tea and a Greek yogurt. Lovely.
Said he's getting a colonoscopy. Oh, I mean, that sounds healthy. Yeah. Clean.
So John, so the last episode, Sunday night, the band we did or the song at the end was
ZZ top was the band. So John writes that ZZ top famously played the Lagrange tour in 1974,
where 80,000 fans unexpectedly showed up and the concert resulted in a riot at the University
of Texas where the fans were upset that they had to pay for a barbecue plate that was not
included in the ticket price of the concert. They started a riot. Yeah. How much money
was the concert ticket? What year was this? 1974 for ZZ top. So the concert ticket price
did not include a barbecue plate? No, it did not. And people were like screw this. I'm
spending so much money. You're telling me barbecue's not included? That is what I'm telling
74. I don't know how much was the concert ticket? 80,000 people showed up. Yeah. I guess
I don't know what that means with 80,000 people showed up. But yeah. I guess it means
paid for a ticket. All right. Wow. I could I kind of have no idea where to go. Same here.
All right. This was 50 years ago. Yeah. You guys ready? Yeah. All right. Three, two,
one, seven, 60 dollars, 60. Yeah. I have to say something. I wrote down my guess as
a head of time because I don't want to be accused of anything. So Mike, I guessed two.
Two dollars. Yeah. I guess you used to be like a quarter. Well, 50 years ago, a popular
band, two dollar ticket for a month. Well, here's what I went on. My dad always talked.
My dad went to college for like $250 a semester or something or $400 a semester. And I was
like, okay, well, if my dad went to college for $300 a semester, 50 years ago, then like
what did a concert cost? And I kind of just went with two bucks. Houses used to cost like
$12,000. Yeah. That meant it's so funny. That meant they're like, should we buy this apartment?
It's upper the West Side Central Park. It costs $28,000. My initial thought was $20. And I
was like, no, it's got to be more than that if they're pissed that food wasn't included.
But maybe I know that's the only. I said to you said 60. What did you say? What did you
say? Well, I mean, minimum wage was like a dollar 20, I think. I said seven. The good job.
The answer was eight. DK. Well, yeah. All right. Yeah, eight bucks. All right. That was
my bad. That was my bad. All right. I'm going to take Jonah Coleman. There's a couple of
guys that I want to mention if you guys don't say I'm going to go for it. Let's get
into this. I mean, 14 touches. He's a veteran. The team really trusts him. It's probably
the right answer. I don't love it. But yeah, that's that's what I would go with. No, I'm
just playing the Raiders this week at home. The only other person I'd go with is like Caleb
Johnson. He's on the Packers. I'm a little torn. I think I worry the Packers are one of
those teams that the run game will suck. The Packers offensive lines devastated. I was going
to say Caleb Johnson too. I'm glad you mentioned him because I think, uh, and this is something
that can happen ever you game. You see, like, Ramondra Stevenson and Travy on Henderson
had this last last week too, but Marshawn Lloyd, I think fumbled late. And then Caleb
Johnson was the one who started over time period. And he looked better to me. I just saw
like he also fumbled. They got the ball back on his fumbles. So maybe that matters. Um,
but he's just running downhill. And though, I thought he looked pretty good in the scheme
that they were running. Um, and maybe he ends up being the starter for them going forward
because Marshawn Lloyd to me has not looked that good. Caleb Johnson, the issue with Caleb
Johnson to me, well, the upside to me is easy, which is they play the Falcons on Thursday
at football. And then the Packers play the Bucks, the Bears, Dallas, Detroit, like teams
you could run on Carolina. Like those are like, you can run on the Bears, Cal, like he
would have 10 days to acclimate. And then you have Bucks, Cowboys, sorry, Bucks, Bears,
Cowboys, Lions. That could be a good thing for the Packers. My problem is, if you have
a running back who's banged up and you have to make the decision on Thursday, you're probably
not going to play them like just realistically, like you're not going to necessarily want
to speculate and put Caleb Johnson in for Thursday football. Here's my other issue at the
Packers. And this is just why I'm concerned about the Packers overall. So I couldn't believe
this Rob Demovsky, he has been at this. The Packers used all eight of the offensive linemen
that were active on Sunday. They were literally had three linemen get hurt. So they were down
to their final five offensive linemen. Then one of them got a stinger. So the offensive
staff for the Packers on Sunday had to talk on the sideline about whether they would put
Tucker Kraft in at offensive line. All right. Craig, who you got? Tank Bigsby. All right.
Can't believe I'm a Johnson. I think Tank is good. I think Emma Johnson should be on
rosters. I think you absolutely should add him. I mean, they already talked about Andy
Reed was talking about how he's going to earn more opportunities. But again, if if
Kenneth Walker gets hurt, look at Johnson has like lead winning potential. If Caleb Johnson
wasn't playing on Thursday night, I might have taken him because I do think him playing
the Falcons and him looking like the best running back on the team is not nothing. And Tank
Bigsby is a one maybe two-week thing knock on wood if sequence not that hurt. But there's
a chance that Caleb Johnson is the best season long pick on this list. There is a chance
of that. Yeah. And I think that he will just kind of be the starter, but the problem is
will he just kill Johnson just a starter for she can't run. Yeah, we'll see what happens.
The other guy to mention real quick is a manual Wilson for the Seahawks to Darian Price.
I was calling Jadarian Price to Jadarian for this whole time. I think it's actually Jadarian.
That's what they were saying on these broadcasts. Anyway, Jadarian Price shoulder injury.
clear if it's going to make him miss any time, Mike.
Donald said today that it was not that serious of a shoulder injury, but he could miss time.
You think I thought you'd add a manual Wilson?
I think a manual Wilson looked good in this game.
He was mainly garbage time against the Cardinals.
That's a huge caveat, of course.
But I thought he looked good.
He's going to be their early down guy if a Jadarian price can't play.
And then I think colonial come in and play like third down, long down and distance, things
like that.
All right.
Showdowns like that could never happen without the people who make it possible.
Carhartt is proud to outfit the trades people behind the game from the stadium to the field

All right.
Wide receivers.
A lot of receiver injuries this week too.
TG.
More got hurt really quickly into the game.
Jaden Reed had a really scary looking injury on basically the pack or second play of the
game.
Just a lot of injuries this week in general.
DK, who's the number one receiver you would add on waivers after week two and early three?
I think it's pretty clearly Denzel Boston of the Browns.
He went for five catches, 95 yards, and touched down this week after scoring a touchdown
in his first game last week.
I thought to show him lots and played a lot better.
And most importantly, Denzel Boston is playing almost every snap.
He's played 93% of the snaps this year.
He's running by far the most routes on the team.
His role in the offense is, I think, pretty well established, at least through the first
two weeks.
He looks great.
I really liked him coming into the draft. He's made a ton of noise in training camp and
preseason.
And so far he's been awesome.
So I would say at the very least you have to grab him and kind of just see if this is
real after two weeks.
I echo that.
He basically has like top 10 usage at the position.
If you look under the hood a little bit at like route participation in targets per route.
He's like top 10, top 15 in terms of how the music and how much he's out there.
And I agree with everything DK said.
I liked him coming out of the draft.
I think he looks good immediately.
He was good in preseason.
He's catching touchdowns.
He's like the only guy in this team that's making big plays.
So as much as it pains me to recommend a Brown's wide receiver, they are playing Caroline
of this week.
So you could probably do worse.
I was thinking about Denzel Boston too.
It's weird because on one hand, you're going with the Browns.
I actually think to Sean Watson played fine this week.
Like he actually did, okay.
It was the best he's looked at a minute.
He was a lot of short passes, but yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, the thing is it was competent, but by his standard as the worst quarterback,
we've seen in years.
It was like Denzel Boston had one huge play where he broke a tackle run for touchdown.
And if not, it wouldn't four catches for like 30 yards.
But that's the point is he's like Nico Collins or Tenerovic Millen.
Where Denzel Boston's a giant receiver who can break tack, who can break tackles, get
open, win contested catches, but still like get yards after the catch.
You can move for his eyes really nicely.
The problem is with the Browns.
I think if there are five receivers this week that you can add on waivers that I think
are widely available, that I think are more likely to outscore Denzel Boston than not.
Like I kind of think Denzel Boston is the riskiest receiver to just get one catch for 18 yards
this week.
But also Denzel Boston, I think is by far the most talented player available at receiver.
And over the course of the season, you do want to bet on young, really, really talented
people.
So that's why Eileen Boston.
But it is like like dude, we can go through the names, but I have five people that I think
could slightly outscore him this week.
I totally agree with you, Hi Fitz.
It's a risk to grab a guy on the Browns, whose offense can be completely miserable in any
given game.
And then again, you know what I talked about all off seasons, like later in the season,
they start playing that home games, the weather's terrible.
I think all their games down the stretch are outside.
And so that is obviously a concern.
But I'm basically just marrying the steady drum beat of praise that we've seen from him
basically since July, and if you read the draft, the real life draft right now, if you
read to the real life draft right now, it was Denzel Boston, a top 20 pick in the real
life draft.
I think absolutely.
Yeah.
That's what this is.
I mean, that's what we thought he would be.
He fell in the draft.
I think the Browns are like, Oh, he's still here in the second round.
Like we have to take him even after they took Casey, Concepcion.
And by the way, Casey, Concepcion is also playing a lot, but they're kind of using him
for those shorter plays.
I think that's why it's kind of hurt fan in a little bit to start the season is they're
trying to get Casey, Concepcion manufacture touches now.
And so that's I think kind of what made fans so good last year.
And I don't know.
Again, it's the Browns grain of salt, but I'm just betting on the talent and, you know,
basically the production out of two games.
All right.
Craig, I think it's time.
It's time for the Denzel Boston showdown time.
All right, big money, big money.
No way.
He's no way.
All right.
This one's from Matthew and Houston.
Matt.
Matt.
Matt, you're our guy.
trivia.
Matt says, my dad has always enjoyed another sport on Sunday, PBA tour bowling.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
I always wondered who was watching that.
And I assumed 97% of the people watching the ESPN bowling had the ESPN free game show
on and then let it running.
And it was bowling.
I love it.
I was like, I didn't know.
I was watching the bowling association.
Is that PBA?
I know there's no.
Yeah.
The game culture is much on the peak on the Pacific time zone.
But if you had the ESPN one on and you left it on for like, I feel like my entire life,
it was bowling would come on at one o'clock.
Sure.
So how much, how much, you know how the, what's the sideways movie kind of like ruined, um,
Merlot for like the international market.
How much on the, on the opposite side of that, how much do you think the, who do you think
you are, I am guy, help the bowling association in terms of like getting people like you
cited about it.
A lot.
He undid all the damage that King pin did.
Oh, God.
Come on.
Oh, hey, oh.
No, I enjoyed King pin on my Craig.
Oh, shut up.
He said it was dog shit.
He's actually lying out of his teeth, but that's fine.
He fell asleep, which is arguably worse.
Yeah.
I don't think falling asleep is bad.
I think the problem is when I woke up, I forgot I had been watching it and went about
my day.
Yeah.
That's the problem.
It is fun.
It's fun.
The movie was hilarious.
You probably wouldn't have fallen asleep.
It's hard to fall asleep when you're laughing.
Do you know my honest review of the Odyssey was the next day, I forgot I had seen it to
like two o'clock in the afternoon.
And I remember thinking about it at all, I didn't, I just completely forgot I had seen
the movie until like the mid afternoon.
Um, did you like the Odyssey or King?
No more, uh, you know, closer and run time than you would have thought.
Yeah.
I know.
I can go along.
Look.
It's a good movie.
I think if you guys watch the movie with me, you'd have liked it, Mark.
I think that's probably true.
With that laugh, I could read the phone book with you.
It's contagious.
Uh, okay.
So Matt said, Matthew says, my question, how many perfect game 300s have been televised
on the PBA tour and its entire 64 year run of being televised?
So 64 years of PBA television, how many times have people build a sensational question?
How often, how like often is are these PBA matches taking place?
Is there like 10?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Like a hundred a year.
No clue.
Okay.
I want to know what the tour is like, like, is it an eight city tour?
Are we talking like they go all over the country?
Are people are pros hitting 300 all the time or is it like pretty hard to do?
No clue.
I made my guess, but I honestly didn't even think to ask how much they are bowling.
Well, that's part of the, that's part of the genius of these questions is it's fucking
impossible.
Um, so 64 years.
I'm making it less impossible.
If you notice, I'm trying, I'm doing less, how many atoms are in the universe?
I'm trying to make them somewhat do that.
I appreciate that.
Right, right, right.
Um, all right, whatever.
I have a number.
So it's a 64 year history of the PVA.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
I think I'm ready.
Three, two, one.
Three hundred.
Three hundred.
Three hundred.
I guess low.
Craig guessed high.
I said 120.
I just kind of said two a year ish and I just kind of left it at that.
Okay.
Shit.
I feel like I guess way too low.
So I said 120.
You said what?
I said 35.
And you said 300.
The answer is, wow, DK 36, whoa, holy shit.
I think the reason I went with it very clearly is I think they're more rare than you think.
I don't.
It's very, very hard to do clearly.
Yeah.
Wow.
So, okay.
Well done, DK.
So, so DK gets bossed and high future up next.
So we just, so while we were just doing this, so Adam Schefter just posted that Dallas Goddard,
the Titan for the Eagles has a MCL sprain and is going to miss a few weeks.
And so I think that's, I think that pushes Don Tavi and Wix for the Eagles to the top.
It's like always a little stressful to have the Philadelphia Eagles receivers, but Wix
has been good.
Wix is starting over McCuy Lemon.
Like it's Devonte Smith and Don Tavi and Wix, but if Goddard's out, like there's been
a history of when it was AJ Brown, Devonte and Goddard, anytime Goddard is out, Devonte
Smith would go crazy and Devonte Smith being out Goddard would go crazy.
We'll see how much, but the passing, it gets distributed around.
And so I do feel like Wix and Devonte will end up with a lot of the passing this week.
And so they're, and also the Eagles are playing the Bears.
And even with Tyson Beige, like the Bears defense is bad.
And so I know the Eagles are going to want to run the ball, run, run, run.
But like I, I just think Wix is competent to get five catches, 74 yards, like he just
looks good and the, we'll see, you know, the drops are always a thing.
But I'm, you know, if Goddard's out, I think that kind of is an easy tiebreaker.
Yeah.
I agree with that.
He's maybe a low key, someone to keep an eye on because he's playing a, he's playing
a lot as well.
And he could maybe inherit some of the over the middle of short, intermediate, sort of run
after they catch stuff, screens, manufacture touches, things like that.
I feel like lemon is still rostered in more leagues than, um,
Wicks, even though he's a first round receiver. Yeah, first on receiver.
Wicks is good, dude. When he was on three bay, he like can't catch, but when he catches the ball
He actually does jump off the screen. It is very athletic and can really make plays. So DK does Wicks would Wicks jump above Boston for you now knowing this Dallas Goddard news
No, I think I still go with Boston. I think I'll still go with Boston, but I think it is closer with the Goddard injury
The the difference to me is that what does Boston again is the most talented of the players and that his time goes on
McCuy Lemons probably going to eat into Don Tavine Wicks is playing time in a way that does all Boston will just
Keep playing for the Browns. Obviously the Eagles are a better team than going to win
But yeah, also the one thing although for the Sean Watson, you guys sees that Todd Monkin the
Head coach of the Browns said that Sean Watson's a young player who's going to continue to develop
He said in his eyes. He's still a young player
To show I forget. I'm sorry. I forgot who would point it this out
But someone noted that to Sean Watson is older than the coach who replaced Todd Monkin at his last job
I kind of think Monkin is doing well with this whole thing. Yes, he basically told Mike Tomlin to fuck himself
He's been given just a shit sandwich
He's actually done fine. He's like a mean old man who's like fuck all you guys. Yeah, Browns are gonna Brown look at us now
We beat the bucks
Did he say Browns is the Browns fuck that or something like that? He said the Browns are the Browns and then the Browns
He said Browns are going to Brown on NBC and then Monkin was quoting him
Because I think juge you said that about the Browns before they
Playoff game right and then the Browns had a crazy comeback against the Steelers
Which yeah, if everything was down there after that
Okay, Craig so Boston's gone and then I took Don Tavine Wicks
There's still like really good receivers like a very high level of replacement value at receiver this week
Yeah, I'm looking at guys like 80 Mitchell on the Jets Rashad Bateman on Baltimore trade Tucker on Vegas
I think are all reasonable ads here
Uh again, this is like you have another 24 plus hours to monitor injuries if they flowers is out
I would probably go with Rashad Bateman who had 88 yards in a touchdown
Um Jacoby Lane is still out for Baltimore as well
Trade Tucker I I will lay off that a little bit trade Tucker pops every once in a while
But in Brock Bowers is coming back next week
I don't know. I trade Tucker last year had another similar is right around week three
He had like 145 yards in three touchdowns and I never really didn't even again
I think trade Tucker's a good player, but I think I would probably go Rashad Bateman
Number one or 80 Mitchell they're playing the Lions the Jets are 80 Mitchell on 12 targets this week
He's like the number two receiver in this offense. That's actually doesn't look that bad
um
But I think I would lean Bateman if they flowers is out
Yeah, I think to simply answer is the same way that I'm like if you have sake one you have to get tank big speed
I think if you have safe flowers you have to get Rashad Bateman
Because the fact that it's also test walkers out and Jacoby lanes out
Bateman is like the kind of left professional receiver left for the Ravens
It's him and Chris Moore was off to practice squad like I think you need Bateman if you have safe flowers
But I agree the other the trade Tucker
I feel like we'll just be a thing all season Brock Bowers is coming back
Probably for the Raiders this week
But overall my trade Tucker's is Austin keeps yelling about this that trade Tucker's just Josh Downs, but faster
And I think that's fair he had five catches for 119 yards
um
The the other guys to mention here cleaf Raymond for the Bears
I don't know how long this whole cleaf Raymond thing is gonna keep going
But he's getting a lot of the easy button slash quick
You know like hot route type deals when when there's pressure
All right, and I think he's just gonna stand over there just gonna stand over there
Um, so he's been getting a lot of targets. I mean, he's he leads the receivers and targets for them so far
And maybe that won't change immediately. So he's a guy to keep in mind
Um, Keon Coleman for the bills. I I hesitate to do this because if DJ Mark comes back
I don't think Keon Coleman is going to continue to be involved that much but
Um, he he had kind of a big game after DJ Moore left this last week against Detroit
Um, and then Craig your guy what's he gonna take your guy Josh Palmer's name
The germ well Josh Palmer too, but you're your real guy here is the germ germ germy binard stealers
Yeah, zero
Um, I don't know. I wouldn't recommend short lives. I yeah, I know I would I would stump for player, but
Yeah, maybe didn't die in this deal league. I would stump for some of Craig mentioned
I would stump for 80 Mitchell in the jets
Who had 12 targets he had six catches and
Like I think oh, I lost it here, but I think maybe 60 something yards 60 yards and back in the games and I'm gonna win Alliance
And so can I well, it's not just the Lions
So the Lions the Bears and the Browns the next three weeks for the jets and I think the jets have been perfectly
And again, that was a rainy-ass game. I was 80. Yeah, 80 Mitchell and I the Lions secondary
Is a mess horrendous the Lions are secondary if you consider Brian Branch and Kirby Joseph
Basically two safeties are just on injured reserve still they lost to Ryan Arnold to the legal situation earlier in the year
and then and his rake straw is
He has he's this second rounder. They took he's barely hasn't played for them in two years
And then you now Avantamatics is out for the season that's an entire starting secondary. That's three cornerbacks and two safeties
It again week two and so I look at this jets Lions game and I'm like man if I had to pick which of these guys
would be use of like I actually think could be like
18 points next week. I actually think it's 80 Mitchell and you could play him for a few weeks
Maybe into the early buys so I that's the guy you know, you know kind of looks good
We're shot maintenance also playing the Cowboys the Ravens are playing the Cowboys, so that also could be a shootout
Okay, I got a bounce back on trivia. My goodness two lot two third places
Yeah, it's all right
Rainer fantasy football shows brought you by Fandall
Thursday night football just got even better with Fandall with early win a fast start could be all you need to win big
For Falcons versus Packers just bet the money line then if your team jumps out to a seven-point lead at any point in the game
You'll win instantly so whether your team scores in the open drive or builds an early touchdown lead
You could be celebrating before the games even over
I'm gonna take the Packers in this one and I know the Packers look terrible
But I'm going with the Packers Michael Pennix just got announced he's going to start this game
And you know if you couldn't figure from Cooper rush jack strand
Craig you think that the jack strand the fan who wanted jack strand to be put in crushed that jack strand's not gonna start this week
You mean jack strand's cousin I'm assuming yeah, I can't wait to see what sign he has this week. He's probably working on it right now
Yeah, so Pennix is gonna start this had to happen Cooper rush got bench 27 to 3 and the jack strand through a pick six in his first career
Throw and then he had another phantom throw fumble where you just like let it go
I am hesitant to pick between the quarterback of the Falcons who have a quarterback who's barely practice with them
Versus the Packers and a team that used eight offensive linemen like four days earlier, but
Man the Falcons defense is also pretty toothless in the defensive line
So I just kind of I think I would just do the Packers money line man
I'm not super convinced the Falcons are going to be incredibly game ready with very very very very little practice time with Michael Pennix so far
So check out Fandals early win for Falcons versus Packers in the Fandalap just another reason why this is your most rewarding season ever on Fandal

Carhartt is proud to outfit the crews behind the game visit carhartt.com/jointhetrades to learn more
Titans 60 bucks was easy top 60 bucks was dude the boomers were paying rent for 60 bucks
Like how much would a ZZ top ticket cost today? Honestly, I don't know if it's 60 bucks
I don't know if it's 60 today. Well, they were more popular back then. Yeah
I guess the demand taking a tight ends
So we mentioned Dallas got spring is MC Dallas got Dallas gotter at spring is MCL DK. Here's your number one tight end
After week two entering week three that you would add um, I think it's Dalton Schulz or the Texans the there's some weird
Disparities in terms of like how often he's rostered and Yahoo and in ESPN at ESPN leaks only 21 percent
So he makes the cut he had 12 targets for 140 yards in this last game
And I think that was the direct result of Nico Collins being out. They just didn't really have any other guys that
We're able to step up Xavier Hutchinson had kind of a tough game
They don't play jail in Noel hardly enough case on booty. I think it's still working is way into the offense
So the guy that that need uh that uh the quarterback whose name is escapey week on the Texans
She just drought C. Chase drought. Sorry. Well, it's true
Um, yeah, Craig you want to burn into his mind really Craig as you know, I have brainfarts here. No, no
That was I feel like you're older right now. That was like a demarcating line in like I will say
I've always had trouble trouble recalling names. I don't know why it's just been kind of a thing for me
Anyway, C. Chase drought very obviously the quarterback of the Texans
Anyway, he doesn't trust anyone else. I think in Dalton Schulz was a huge beneficiary of that he scooped up ton of volume in this last game
If Nico Collins is out again, I think I would feel pretty good about starting
Dalton Schulz again, and by the way, he had like over a hundred targets last year, too
Yeah, it seems like Nico Collins is gonna miss week three which is just
stating incredibly frustrating. Um, and I agree. I think the, I think there's a tear drop
after Dalton Shultz. I think there's another guy in this tier. That's interesting.
I do too. It's a sneaky one. Hi, if it's Is it Aranda Gadsden? No. Oh, interesting,
because Charlie Kohler and David and Joker got hurt in this last game. It's just hard to trust
a single charger. So that's very true. Who else is on that? I think it's just Shultz. Who,
who else is next to Shultz for you? Oh, I think it's Pat Fryer, but it's real.
Sure. Pat Fryer, but again, because why do Dalton Shultz get 14 targets last week? It's
because it was against the Bengals. Yeah. And this week the Steelers are playing the Bengals.
And again, the Bengals last year turned in Trey Mc every tight end averaged basically
being Trey McBride versus Cincinnati. It's a good point. The Bengals last year, again,
where the first team and I, I, I, there's, it's a hard thing to measure, but at least 16 years,
but depending on how you measure, ever to like just have two rookies with no experience,
starter season at linebacker. And the Bengals linebackers are still the weakness of the team,
even with the extra lords playing better. And I think there's a re, it was a perfect storm
last week for Dalton Shultz to get 14 targets. But I don't think it happens necessarily against
another team. So Shultz, I'm not going to argue 140 yards like, you know, and now Nico, Nico's out.
But if you can't get Dalton Shultz or he's already rostered, I think Pat Fryer move this week.
Aaron Rodgers is going to throw him. Aaron Rodgers is already mad about my McCarthy's playing
calling. They're going to target tight ends because they're playing Cincinnati. And again,
Rodgers trust Fryer move. He won't stop talking about it's been four weeks now if I'm talking
about Fryer moves to the guy. So I, I think Fryer move has a serious chance to have like the best
game he has the entire season this week. So I'm happily streaming him if you don't. Do you guys think
that Aaron Rodgers is going to tell Mike McCarthy that he should call more plays that are good and
that Pat Fryer means should be the target in those plays? I already did. He did that publicly.
Why would he have to say it privately? Cool. I, I hear you hyphids and I have them written down,
but I don't think it's like if I see Dalton Shultz and Pat Fryer move's name, I think it's an
easy selection of Shultz. I don't think they're the same tier. But I think if Shultz is gone, Fryer
move is a fine pick. I don't, I don't, I know it seems ugly. I'm going less on like the total
faith in the Steelers. There's my difference. I don't, Pat Fryer move could have 12 catches
for 140 yards in any Steelers game. And Dalton Shultz already did that. Fair enough.
I really want to fry me. The extra Lawrence might like kill Aaron Rodgers. So I don't know.
He should get immunized. Okay. So Dalton Shultz, showdown time.
Yeah. Yeah. Is this bleak? Titan is always the most bleak. It's not bleak if you had 14.
There are players sometimes where they have an at 14 targets in a month. No, I know. I know.
All right, fine. All right. It is the not bleak Dalton Shultz. Showdown time move.
This question is from Jared. Jared. Like Jared. Breakfast was a glass of chocolate milk and
a pressure. What was that? I mean, the zone like Jared. It's a fat bastard.
Does everybody loses all the weight? Yeah. Oh my god. We don't talk about Jared anymore. Of course.
No, but yeah. I always I do like a good fat bastard quote. I mean, it's like Jared.
I don't have any corn. I look my riot team is ready. Guys. Incredible.
Jared. Breakfast, glass of chocolate milk and a protein bar for Jared. Jared.
Chocolate milk. I feel like so underrated. Crazy underrated.
Chocolate. The book is delicious. Every time we talk about chocolate milk, this is the
best thing I've ever had. Elite athletes, crushing chocolate milk after working out.
Yeah. Yeah. Jared writes. So on the show earlier this summer,
you guys discussed hockey players like NHL professional players. We're playing without a helmet.
And they got grandfathered in. And we just couldn't believe this. We're talking like Gordy Hout.
Yeah. Gordy Hout. I think was it? Yeah. So Jared writes. It's even crazier is that hockey
goalies, goalies also used to play without a mask. Like, just insane. Golly mask for also grandfathered
in. If you were not wearing one. So his question is, what is the last year that had an NHL
goalie playing with no face protection? Oh, another great question. I really do like these
questions. I feel like they're doing great on picking them. I like them making them related to
the show. That's the feel like the big change is that you should just be like, how many mountains
are there on Mars? And now it's like, oh, last episode, we talked about this. I enjoy that.
You know, I actually do have one on Mars. That's fine. All right. I'm paul stringing it. Yeah,
you know, yeah, we're looking. High fits is cooking right now. Yeah, just like Drew Locke.
Drew Locke level play right now. You guys didn't give me enough time to talk about Drew Locke last
night, by the way, he's he's fucking cooking. We let you talk about it. And we're the time Drew Locke
had like Tom Brady 2007 level quarterback rating to cost the giants of the number one. Yeah.
I do want to like one of those quarterback performances of the century.
It was like 2013 Peyton Manning 2007 Tom Brady 2018, mahalms and Drew Locke. The question's
going to be, do they even need Donald? Locke? No, no picks. He's playing.
Do they have to go back to Super Bowl champion Sam Darnold? I don't know. Don't rush it.
Megan Schuster's having the greatest time right now. By the way, she's the biggest tree Locke fan
in the world. Shout out, Meg. Why does she like Drew Locke? She went to Mizzou.
I think I got her Drew Locke jersey like six years ago and kind of just figuring she had thrown
it away by now. You don't throw away something like that. No, okay. Wait, what was the court?
Oh yeah, what was the last year that there was a goal? There was a goalie in the NHL with no
risk. I can't tell if this is just a fact or if it's a fun fact because it's way later than we
think. I know. Yeah, I know what you mean, fudge. You know, I'm like, is this just a fact as we've
talked about it or is it like specifically this guy was like, no, this is one of the best hockey
facts in all time because it's like 1997. Okay, I think I have a year in mind. I have no idea how far
off I am. Three, two, one, eight, seven, four. Okay. Okay. So I was thinking what Craig was thinking,
which is I bet it's way later than we think. I said 1991 because I was like, I bet they're
emailing it because there's, well, I just because I don't know. My mind first went off. I was like
97. I was like, no, there was probably one guy like who was like, well, there's probably one guy
who was a rookie when they made the rule and then had like some 20 year career. And I'm like,
you know, I'm like, but I so I said 87 Craig said 70. What? Four. The answer is, in fact, 1974.
Great job. Hey, I'm back. You needed that. Andy Brown was the last NHL goalie to play a game
without a mask. Yeah, 1974. Also, this is 90s. That would have been insane. I, as soon as I said it,
I did, I, you guys thought about this way longer than I did. I just like, I took three seconds.
I just run saying down. I will say, I feel like we took 10 seconds. But yeah, without a doubt,
this is what it doubted out the best trivia we've ever done. There's no way because you got that
answer exactly right. And then DK was one off both the other answers. There's no way we've been
wow combined to off over three questions before. All right. So I get Dalton Schultz. Who's second?
DK second. I was. Yeah. So I think the, the safe pick is Pat Fryer and we pay fries. He's
the most likely to catch five passes for 45 yards. A hundred percent. But I think if you're going
for upside, the two guys are Aronda Gatson for the chargers and Darren Waller for the Panthers.
I'm going to go with Gatson just for shits and giggles. Darren Waller, dude. All he does is catch
touchdowns. Yeah. He had, he had two touchdowns this last week and he had another touchdown. I
want to say the week before that got called back on some like procedural play or penalty.
But I'm going to go with Gatson simply because when he got opportunity to play last year, he was
awesome. He was catching tons of passes. And David and Joku and Charlie Kohler both hurt.
Kohler according to reporters was like in a slaying after the game. I think he heard his shoulder
collarbone or something. And then in Joku had to be carted off in this game. I think his knee or
leg. So that might just leave Gatson. The opportunity to really play a lot. And every time he plays
a lot, he catches a lot of passes. So I'm just going to say go for upside. Take Gatson to
what happens. I, I can't hate it because it's, it's, it's, Gatson's kind of like Terrence Ferguson.
We'll see what, again, we're of course for giants Rams. Maybe Terrence Ferguson makes people
experience silly and Terrence Ferguson as one catch with three yards and matches close to the level in the season.
But you know, obviously if Pukas heard or if anything happens to the money football,
Terrence Ferguson looks good. I could be in Terrence Ferguson.
Part of me always thinks Colby Parkinson will just have nine touchdowns again every year.
But the Darren Walters thing is insane. Well, by the way, sorry to interrupt you,
but I literally just got a push notification from Shepard. The chargers place both David and Joku
and Kohler on IR. Well, then could call DK for Ronda Gatson. So Charlie Kohler had a four-arm
injury and David and Joku had a fibula injury. You need those. Yeah. So Ronda Gatson could call.
They will take fire. That's, I think it's the right answer. Yeah. Come on.
All right. Well, that makes things easy. And again, unless Terrence Ferguson is a big game,
I think he's like way too or below like Kenyans to decon the Jets just because the teams that
the Jets are playing. I will just say to Waller, I think the only problem with Waller is he doesn't
get volume over the middle of the field. But all he's done is catch touchdowns. Like he came out
of retirement. Like he retired with the Giants and then came out of retirement in week four last year
and then just caught two touchdowns on 16 snaps, which is like Aaron Donald wishes he could come
out of retirement and catch, you know, whatever the defensive equivalent of two touchdowns on 16 snaps.
Derr Waller had four touchdowns in his first three games, then another two touchdown game,
and then this week had two touchdowns. So I'm like, Derr Waller, since retiring has
as eight touchdowns in like 12 games,
but he doesn't really get targeted elsewhere.
- He's like old school Jimmy Graham.
It feels like there's just players now
that are just red zone players.
I don't know, maybe that's not always been a thing,
but it really does feel like there are closers
and like relief pitchers now in football
where they just come in inside the 20 yard line.
- I think that the way that all these athletes
can play later now, in just in general,
I think that there are certain players
who have a skill set that have been like,
it does feel like there's more of them, I agree with you.
Like there used to be just Jimmy Graham,
but now it's like, Devonce Hart, Mike Evans, these guys,
yeah, they can still get open.
- It's like closers.
- Yeah.
- Did you already say that?
- Yeah, you eat.
(laughing)
- I was like in J.J. Why, did you guys see that?
- That was exactly, I was looking up at 80s beggars
real quick, 'cause I forgot.
- I will say, I would give DK's shit
for just constantly behind Twitter during the show,
but then every now and then hey,
you find all the injuries.
- I wasn't on Twitter, I was on Spotify.
- DK, did you see the, there you go, that's fine.
- Lot thing?
- No.
- What literally, in between plays,
what was talking about how some player
was given the game ball last week
and how it meant, it was a big deal to him.
Literally says that sentence,
I forget which player it was, whatever,
let's just pick a player.
Jeremy Bernard won, got the game ball last week
and it really meant a lot to Jeremy.
There's like a two second pause and then Nance goes,
and Jeremy Bernard also got the game ball last week,
meant a lot to him.
(laughing)
- It's crazy, I'm telling you this thing.
- They have a better excuse than I do,
because they're like being fed
constant stream of information
by like their people that are helping out
with the broadcast and everything like that,
so I understand being distracted.
I'm just looking up, I was just looking up
sick 80's songs really.
- It is amazing, like conception actually happens
all the time, constantly.
- Before this.
(audience cheering)
- There's this.

- Okay, quarterback streamers,
obviously, Bryce Young is the number two
quarterback in fantasy football.
Like, it's easy.
Like, taking-- - Playing at Cleveland.
- At Cleveland doesn't matter.
Like, he's playing great.
And he looks like he is the joy back in his eyes.
So, Bryce Young's easy.
And if he's gone, Tyler Schuck,
who's the number five quarterback in fantasy
and the Saints are just running the most plays in the NFL?
Like, they're just the pace, everything.
I just think Bryce Young and Schuck are on their level.
So, that's easy, especially if you've Caleb Williams.
I also think if you have Caleb,
I don't think Tyson Beijing's like the worst option
if you have Caleb Williams.
Like, he's mobile.
Well, I don't know how much, you know,
he's gonna be able to replicate,
but the Bears love Tyson Beijing.
Like, they have been saying for years,
they sign Tyson Beijing to like a real backup quarterback contract.
And he's fast enough that he can totally be reasonable
as a fantasy option.
And then, kind of did it for Marcus Murray Oda.
The problem is, if you have Jen Daniels,
like, not excited to play Marcus Murray Oda
versus Seattle this week.
Marcus Murray is going to start for Washington,
but I don't want to play a backup quarterback for Seattle.
Generally, Marcus Murray Oda has upside
as a Russian quarterback, but I don't like that.
Beijing, even Beijing versus Philadelphia is not ideal,
but I'd rather do that than Murray Oda versus Seattle.
I feel like there's no way that's going to go well.
Totally, yeah.
And then also Kyler Murray is going to play versus the Bucks.
It's Kevin O'Donnell announced that.
So Kyler, very possible is available in your league.
Like, people might have never had him or caught him
because he got hurt.
But if Kyler's available, like, you know,
if you brush young and Tyler Schuck are gone,
yeah, you can check Kyler instead of Tyson Beijing.
So I think between, I feel like between those options,
someone is there, but I would avoid Mariotta.
But yeah, I think Jayden Kaleb believes he's not gonna play
this week.
The other person I'm gonna throw out there,
because a lot of people might be like,
well, brush young and Tyler Schuck are gone, I'm a leeks.
I actually want to throw out Geno Smith.
- Hell yeah. - Because again,
the jets the next three weeks are the lions who again
are down basically an entire starting secondary
for the lions is down.
And I know Josh just torched them and looked like an MVP
and that's a Josh Allen thing, but Schuck torched them.
The lions have been absolutely shredded on these--
- Their defensive lion has not been good.
- No, and so I think Geno Smith, and again,
then Geno Smith plays the Bears,
whose defense is also very bad, and then the Browns.
So I actually think Geno Smith could also get you
through this Caleb Williams timeline,
if you're a deeper league. - I agree.
- Sorry to keep you off, but Geno,
they beat Tennessee in the week one,
and they ran in all their touchdowns,
but Geno actually played well in that game.
And then yesterday, 250 yards in a touchdown in the rain,
and also looked pretty good.
So I would even argue that his stats look worse
than they actually should have been.
So I think Bryce Shung won Tyler Schuck too,
but if those guys are gone, Geno Smith is like,
kind of a perfectly fine third quarterback.
And I think that people with Caleb or Jaden
will end up playing him, and then they'll be fine.
Defenses, I never wanna just go on the percentages
of how rostered they are, just because there are plenty
of very competitive leagues where people drop defenses.
I want the Vikings defense is available in plenty of leagues.
I've seen just 'cause people didn't want them.
People saw the Bears score 59 points a week one,
and they cut the Vikings 'cause they didn't want
to play the Bears defense.
The Bears offense.
So the Vikings defense is kind of maybe available
in your league, and they're playing the Bucks and Brian Flores
is like clearly just having an incredible season.
It's a defensive coordinator,
and I think there were questions about the Vikings D
'cause they lost some players.
The Vikings defense just has to be good too.
- Especially in teams is good too.
- Yeah, especially because they're playing Tampa Bay
and Baker, who's been a sack turnover factory.
And Baker, let's let the NFL or Colette,
the NFL vumbles this year, in each of the last two years,
every single season, the interceptions, everything.
So I think the Vikings defense is a must.
Also the chief defense is a must if they're available
'cause they're playing the dolphins.
So right there, the Vikings or chiefs might be available
and the chiefs, I don't have to say more.
Miami's terrible.
- Did you mention it?
- And if not, your New York Giants play in Miami?
- The Giants play in Miami next week?
Do I have my weeks wrong?
- Are they not?
- No, they're playing Tennessee.
- Oh, sorry, that's what I meant.
Giants play Tennessee, does that, does that?
- I, I move you.
- I think, so we're accordance
before Monday and I football.
Let's see if the Giants defense plays.
- I think totally.
Yeah, I mean, the Titans cam ward,
it's Brian Dable versus the Giants, right?
Which is kind of fascinating.
I'm a little worried for tart.
We'll see what happens.
But I think the Giants defense is totally viable.
I don't want to jinx it.
But yeah, if they look good against the Rams,
the Giants look good against the Titans.
And obviously, cam ward can always throw a pick six.
The other ones I'm considering, the Packers Falcons,
Thursday, football's always weird.
I don't want to do the Falcons defense.
But the Packers against Penex,
Penex is barely practiced.
I'm like, man, the Packers, I don't love their defense,
but Lucas Van S has had more sacks this season
than he had all of last year.
And the Packers defense, they have playmakers,
Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams,
who I always laugh at the name
'cause I feel like I've thrown up to Evan Williams.
But the Packers defense could make plays on like a pick six
and lay it, I don't think you'd be shocked at all.
And then the last thing is Carolina Panthers
because they're playing the Browns.
And Panthers had five turnovers last week.
And to Sean Watson just had an actual good game
by his standards.
And I kind of feel like to Sean's gonna be home
and try to rip it in front of the home crowd.
And they're not gonna be able to bench to Sean now
because to Sean won a game
and they were kind of hoping he'd lose.
But now he's gonna face his home crowd
and the vibes are gonna be weird.
But yeah, I think one of those is available
in that order.
Vikings, chiefs, Packers on Falcons and then Panthers.
And then we'll see where the Giants
is allowed to basically how they play.
But one of those defenses has to be available in your league.
- Yeah.
- Okay, a couple of emails we'll get out of here.
- Sure. - Let's do it.
- All right, this is from Nizanta.
- Does that mean N?
- An N.
- And bone. - And bone.
- This was about DK pointing out
that Matt Ryan is the president of football for the offense.
He's not the VP of football operations.
He's just president of football.
- Right.
- And Nizanta pointed out that it reminded him
that someone, one of his friends got promoted
and he saw on LinkedIn.
So this friend worked at Unilever,
which is like the giant corporation.
Like one of those corporations.
They make like soap and whatnot.
- Yeah, they make like everything.
- They own everything, yeah.
- Ben and Jerry, like one of those like,
yeah, they own like a thousand brands.
And one of his friends was promoted
to president of ice cream.
- No way.
(laughing)
- I looked it up on LinkedIn.
- Yeah, that's great.
- It was real,
technically president of global ice cream.
Not quite as fun,
but it was president of ice cream.
- President of ice cream.
- DK, you gotta tell Calvin that that's a job
that he could get.
- That's like, what actually,
Will Ferrell, Brennan and what's his name would like,
they'd be the titles for prestige worldwide.
I'm the president of ice cream.
- I'm the president of ice cream.
- The toddler wrote a movie.
That's what the guy would be doing.
- That's really good.
Oh man.
- President of football.
- That's right.
- I want,
email us more crazy jobs.
I want to know crazy job titles.
- That's great.
We're just crazy jobs.
Jobs didn't exist.
We talked to it.
There was this guy that had to like,
there was this weird light bulb.
This guy had to just change a light bulb
on this weird tower.
- It's very dangerous, right?
- Oh yeah.
- I remember that.
- I forget the deal.
But what weird jobs?
Can we be titles like that?
I don't know what direction it takes your mind.
But I want to email us about your fancy football
gmo.com.
Funny jobs, weird jobs, job titles,
weird postings, whatever.
I don't know.
But I think President of ice cream is great.
Yeah, that's really good.
The other, so Jake emailed in, Jake did not include a breakfast because we're kind of
getting away from breakfast today, which I don't love.
Concerning.
Can't throw a perfect game, can I?
Jake's, well, I didn't want Jake to do food because he was emailing about the diarrhea
situation with the high rocks, the chart situation, which again was this like ultra marathon
that was ran in China that this woman who won was charting everywhere down her pants, down
her leg everywhere.
And then we were like, uh, and Jake writes in, listening to your show from Sunday night and
you guys are wildly underestimating this story.
Good.
It's one of those things where you're like, oh, she had a little accident, cleaned it up,
move on.
And then you see the pictures in the videos.
And I think I did see a picture and I don't know if I, and I don't know if I realized it
was real.
It's fake.
I have links.
I will send you guys these links.
There's like, there's like, there's, here, there's videos and photos.
Please do.
Yeah.
Here.
If anything, I wanted to see diarrhea.
So here's the thing.
I also feel like I had seen photos, but I had not seen the videos and um, they're shocking
because I think what I underrated was I just had seen photos.
And I thought that this situation, again, it's like an ultra, not ultra marathon, but
it's like a, like a tough mother, like a, like a lot of people and they're running, but
it's also like a lot of intense workout, like hit, like CrossFit style workouts.
What I underrated was how close they all were and what the workouts were.
So it's kind of like, imagine doing like a bunch of up downs or burpees where you're
like doing a plank, push up, jumping, but you're going somewhere.
You're going and you have to burp you the whole way.
And the one in first place is actively shitting down her leg, dripping everywhere.
And then you have to now do a plank like 10 times where she just was and she's getting
it on everything and she's in first.
So everyone behind her is having to rub themselves in her shit for like the entire race.
This is horrifying.
It really is.
It's insane.
It's insane.
This is shocking.
Do you think this has happened to her before?
She seems very calm.
Yeah, she's just powered through it.
Very, very.
I can't imagine the smell that she's having to deal with with every condition.
It is absolutely.
I can't believe it.
I kind of like scrolled past.
I was like, whatever.
I can't believe they let her finish.
Dude, like if one person farts in class, you, the whole class can smell it.
Her legs being covered must smell so bad.
Also there's a ton of spectators right there.
She's four feet away from like a row of spectators.
I think this might be the shard of the year for sure.
This is a Hall of Fame shard.
There's no way I would continue doing anything.
No, this is like impressive.
This is stuff you hear about like the drunkest kid in the frat at a college party to something
like this.
Like these are, this is an elite level story involving fecal matter.
I would, I would almost our own risk ask for the greatest shard story that our listeners
have.
I'll take, yeah.
Emails your best short story.
Nice.
Can you beat this?
My immediate thought was the Hall of Fame poop stories got to be the Dave Matthews band
bus dumping all the shit out of the car.
That's on the mountain.
In Chicago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I'll take stories in one person like a, like a personal shard that kind of went down
in the history books as a legend.
I don't want it to be outroker at the White House.
Like, I want, I want things.
Maybe we don't know.
Yeah.
Emails shard stories.
Okay, uh, email us also fantasy courts.
Maybe we'll be a fantasy court about sharding.
That would be great.
That would be ideal.
Worlds collide.
Okay.
Uh, hopefully the Giants don't show.
I think the Giants get to win 31, 10, I want you guys on record.
Do you actually think the Giants can win this game?
Absolutely.
I do.
Tonight.
Yeah.
I think they can win.
I'm worried that they're, I'm a little worried that it's a classic.
The Rams were the second best team in the NFL last year and played poorly because they
were on Australia in week one.
And the Giants rocked a very lifeless Dallas defense that's, and this, and this is like
Sean McVey.
And I'm a little worried that, that, uh, the Giants will be outclassed.
However, I absolutely in my heart of hearts believe they could win and want them to win
even though I know that's kind of stupid.
I think either way, whatever happens, it'll make sense.
Like if the, if the Giants play well and win, I'll be like, of course, I knew it.
They looked legit in week one.
If they get their ass kicked, I'll be like, of course, hey, it's about week one jet lag.
Like, come on.
The Rams.
All right.
Thank you, DK.
Thank you, Craig.
Thank you, Cam.
Thank you, Nick Hill.
Thank you, Austin.
Thank you, Matthew from Houston.
Thank you, everyone for listening.
Emails with, uh, power hour on Wednesday, Friday previews, Sunday episodes, obviously
money waivers.
Stick with us.
Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, Lord.
Lord, 80's money rolling on DK.
I am slightly slightly concerned.
I said this already, but I'm going to say it again because it's a great one.
It's a, it's an anthem, nothing but a good time poison.
Do you remember?
Have I done that one before?
I feel like I have.
I don't think so.
Give me nothing.
I don't think so.
Give me nothing.
I don't think so.
Give me nothing.
Give me nothing.
Give me nothing.
I don't think so.
the name of the band is Poison. The lead singer is Brett Michaels. Of course. They also look exactly what I thought they would.
Oh, you don't know Poison? Brett Michaels did. I do. But I feel like I don't I couldn't conjure an image of Brett Michaels in my head from the 80s without the
you know, maybe some of the rock of love. Dude, well, maybe I could because they're exactly what I thought they looked like, but all these bands look the same. I loved rock of love unabashedly. I don't know. I actually don't. What is
it was Brett Michaels doing a dating thing and it was freaking hilarious. It was on MTV VHW. I never watched that. What is this? It was a dating show that he
rock of love. Yeah. Is that where Kelsey got his idea for the dating show? Maybe. You think Taylor and Travis talk about that? Did that have to be acknowledged? I'm sure I think it had to come up. If your husband hosted a dating show, I think it would come up at some point.
Catching Kelsey. Yeah, I because it also wasn't like 2009. It was like four years before they started dating. It was 2016. Imagine if it had just never come up. I feel like it's funny.
Don't need nothing but a good time. Do you think Brett Michaels? I always imagine that his headband is actually a clip on hairdo. Yeah, that's got to be the case, right? I think it is.
You never see him without the headband and I feel like it has to be attached to a clip on long hair wig. Oh, that tracks. That's a that I just looking at all these photos of him over like a 40-year period. I think you're right. He's 63 years old. I immediately think you're right. There's no claims to the the explanation is apparently that he doesn't wear a full wig, but it's like extension hair extensions. All right, to like maintain his rocker look from the 80s. Yeah, if you look at his eight like he had the feathered hair.
Looks like Heather Locklear. And he had like the headband. I mean, he is to be poison and Brett Michaels are some of the most iconic, I think, characters of the 80s in terms of this type of rock.
Brett Michaels also a big stealer fan. Oh, really? Yeah, he's from he's from Butler, Pennsylvania.
Mechanicsville or mechanicsburg. I was looking this up earlier. I actually don't know a lot about poison. I like know of them, but I never really listened to their musical a lot.
I know every rose has its thorn, but about that besides that rose has it though.
Do you guys think that we should start doing that with music where there's like a saying that everyone says, but there's no song about it yet.
That's what your thing. My buddy and I used to do that were like because they're in college. The arrow was like all those EDM songs. It was just like a non-descript female voice just singing a phrase around an EDM drop, like a beat drop. And that was that's kind of all you needed. Yeah, it would just always been that way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, would be like what?
I don't know like nothing breaks like a heart. And then you would just sing a song around that. You can just find those and just make a song. Sometimes it's a Jimmy Buffett just had five o'clock somewhere like man. That's good. Just sing that say that over and over. Yeah.
He's so right. It is five o'clock somewhere. You don't buy beer. You rent it. Yeah, that should be that should be the second album right there.
Is that is that our first album? Jump as Pisc Club. You don't buy beer. You rent it. It was called Renting Beer. Yeah, Renting Beer. Ooh, that's good. That's our let's say for a bar beer rentals renting beer. Yeah, you're not keeping it. Yeah, go watch Rock of Love. There's not there's really not a lot on these days to watch. So go back and watch Rock of Love. Definitely, you know, there's not many TV they don't make any TV shows anymore. Definitely just spend your time watching Rock of Love in 20s.
Goodbye, everyone.

FAQs
Jonah Coleman of the Broncos is the top pick, as he played 42% of snaps, scored a touchdown, and had 10 rushes for 39 yards. He’s a strong option due to his recent performance and potential upside.
Tank Bigsby of the Eagles is a solid backup choice. He’s available if Safequans is out, especially since the Eagles play the Bears, a team with a weak defense, making running the ball more effective.
Alvin Camara is serviceable but not a top pick due to inconsistent playing time and a high-risk rotation at the Saints. He may get touches, but the backfield is unpredictable.
Denzel Boston of the Browns is a top choice. He has 5 catches for 95 yards, scored a touchdown, and plays 93% of snaps, showing high usage and consistent performance.
Dalton Schulz of the Texans is a strong pick, especially with Nico Collins out. He had 12 targets for 140 yards in his last game and is a high-volume target in the offense.
Yes, Pat Fryer of the Packers is a solid pick if Dalton Schulz is already rostered. Aaron Rodgers has publicly called for more plays targeting Fryer, increasing his chances for a strong game.
