Laorta is a LA love again. See what I did there? I mean, honestly, like I’m just like I’m like the Harlem Globe Troters out here of of the English language. Just the the the way I’m mixing and matching, weaving uh doing a little uh you know what’s the song they sing to Georgia Brown. There is somebody watching this YouTube live right now that think these are hilarious. And as long as you get one person, it’s it’s like the NFL GM. You just need one teen to believe you. That’s what I need. Accurate comment from Kujo. Oh, brother. This guy stinks. Yeah, but he can be talking about anyone. Yeah. Still searching for that one guy. DJ Dragon. Dent Dragon. Come on, Dragon. Come on, Dragon. Where’d we go? I thought we had something, you and I. Somebody give us some hope here. Come on, Mr. Dragon. Fantasy football happy hour with Matthew Barry. Happy Friday. Welcome to the fantasy football happy hour. Connor Rogers, Matthew Barry, Jay Croucher. Fellas, we are that close to another weekend of NFL football. It was a tough day for Matthew yesterday. He wasn’t great on air. Maybe I’ll bounce back. I take the day off. So you do, too. Yeah, they basically comeback player of the week over here. I think a lot of people think I basically take every day off. I uh have to address why I’m wearing Josh Jacobs in a Green Bay Packers uniform before we get started here. I’d love to know. uh Dena who uh the amazing Dena who works on our wardrobe department and I told her like hey I’m not going to wear what you what you put out for me today because I got to wear this and she goes why did you lose a bet and the answer is yes I did the answer is yes I did and so uh my friend Leslie so Leslie and I have been in fantasy leagues for a long time and uh she’s an avid fantasy player she’s also a diehard Packers fan and she also happens to run marketing for a company called Kellanova which among other things has uh Pop-Tarts and Rice Krispie treats and all sorts of wonderful things and all I mean you have no idea Rice Krispie treats and so and so we were texting back and forth before the Commanders Packers game and uh she actually went to the game and and so you know we’re like should we should we have a bet here and she goes and she goes I’ll give you the three the commanders were right commanders were were three-point dogs and I said okay what’s the bet and she says if the Packers win you have to wear a Packers jersey of my choice losing on air. But and I’m like, “Fine. What do I get if I win?” And she goes, “How about a lifetime supply of Pop-Tarts?” “Oh, you had to take this.” Of course I had to take the bet. Are you kidding me? I’m like, “All my commanders do have to cover the three and I get Pop-Tarts for the rest of my life. Are you kidding me?” You should have put 20 grand on the other. I know. Yeah. That’s why that’s I screwed up. That’s right. That’s That’s a smart bet. An elite hedge opportunity. Yes. I screwed that all up. And And so anyway, that’s what happened. and and here you are and and uh here’s stunt man Chuck. Too bad that bet didn’t include wearing socks. Very good, Chuck. America loves the ankles. It’s But uh but anyway, so congratulations to Leslie and the Packers. I will have to continue to buy my own Pop-Tarts. I’m a I’m a brown sugar cinnamon man. That is uh that’s my jam. That’s the one that I that’s my that’s my go-to flavor. Yeah. And now you get to pay for them. Yes. I have to Exactly. I have to pay for them in a Josh Jacobs jersey. In the Josh Jacobs jersey. I may go. There were many worse jerseys that you could cop than Josh J. Josh is a great player, but he should have given you the the jersey. Who was the Packers player who fumbled the kick against the Seahawks like 11 years ago? It was um it’s a tight end, not your Michael Finley. It was um Oh god, it’s a it’s a it’s going to drive me nuts. This will drive As soon as I hear it, I’ll be like, “Yes, that was the guy.” It’s a Brandon Bostic. That’s Yeah, Brandon Bostic. Exactly. Yes. They should have got me Brandon Bostic or just like, you know, Don Majowski, you know, like Janice. Yeah, we could have done a lot with this. Jimmy Graham, let’s get weird. Mark Chamura, like, you know, Packers that have been uh, you know, in uh that have been put on, you know, in in you know, ignanimousy, what’s the word? Uh, anyway, just, you know, Yeah. Just, you know, that have run a Yeah, it could have been. Yeah, exactly. Whether it’s an obscure Packer, whether it’s a bad Packer, whether it’s a scummy Packer, like they could have done like a Yeah. I mean, instead you get Josh Jacobs, one of which we like Josh players. Josh Jacobs has been on our podcast multiple times. We like Josh Jacobs. We are a pro Josh Jacobs uh company show fan group and yes, we Yes. Who at NBC doesn’t like Josh Jacobs? I don’t know, but I’m not going to ask everyone. Producer Stephen, get on that. Make sure uh I can I can back that statement up. Uh, as far as I know, everyone at NBC loves Josh Jacobs. But the other, at least the one other benefit of wearing this jersey, and then we’ll move on, is that because Josh Jacobs is a legitimate fantasy star, sure, he can go up on the wall, he is wall worthy. He is absolutely wall worthy. A guy like Brian Robinson Jr. So like Bro CJ Strad down in the basement. Oh yeah, CJ Strad might actually CJ Strad too. We got CJ Strad. Mark Andrews down there. Mark Andrews. Mark Andrews, Brian Robinson, CJ Strad. We may have to put up a poll. Who loses their spot uh on the wall? We also have We also have two Kelsey’s. As much as we love Kelsey, we may not need to go double Kelsey. Travis Hunter might be in a bit of Stop it. Stop it. Not before CJ Stout or Brian Robins. Brian Robinson’s backing up McAffrey. That’s what we should do. We have a McAffrey jersey. We should put Brian Robinson like just behind the jersey because you know it’s coming. It’s an insurance It’s an insurance jersey basically. It’s a backup jersey. That’s what we’ll do with Brian Robinson. So maybe uh Jacobs will replace uh CJ Strad or um Mark Andrews. But anyway, uh congratulations Leslie. I’m honoring my bet. Let’s get to week three. Saved her a lot of shipping too on Pop-Tarts. Let’s get to week three. Think about it. Like every six weeks a new shipment. I’m more curious of the the process. Like do you fill out a Google form each week and then it shows up at your house? I think you want strawberry this week. I think it’s like how Kramer gets the lifetime supply of coffee and then he has to go into the store with the paper and no one actually believes it. Yeah, I think it’s like that kind of operation. Um, no. I’ve I’ve gotten this deal with an energy drink, I will say. But like, no, like I I This is a true story. Like five or six years ago, there was a fan of mine that was the like the vice president of marketing at a very well-known energy drink, Mr. Bull. And I’m not going to say who it is, but you may or may not. You’re probably pretty close. The Bull is yours. And uh at any rate, and he just said, “Do you want me to send you some?” And I said, “Yeah, sure, man. You know, happy to.” And somehow I got on this list and like literally every six weeks three cases would show up for years. Eventually run out of storage. For years eventually he left it. You’re a diet coke man. Yeah. Some somewhere somewhere along discovered it and like I got taken off the list. But literally like four years where like every 3 weeks I would get like case upon case of this energy drink. I’m laughing cuz in the back Stephen is just losing hope in the show. He’s asked for us to recap Thursday Night Football, you know, 20 different times. So let’s get right into it. We did have a good game last night. Despite a 12 and a half point spread, the Dolphins did their best to really keep things interesting into the fourth quarter. Plenty of notable fantasy point scorers, including Dalton King Cade’s best fantasy performance of his career with 17.6 points. Josh Allen does what Josh Allen does after a slow week two for Josh Allen in fantasy. James Cook keeps this going. Before we get to any of these uh any of this, guys, we got to hear from Josh Allen on James Cook’s success so far this season after a great 2024 season. I mean, it’s to me it’s the same James Cook. Um, the guy just attacks every time he touches the ball. He’s he’s he looks like he’s been shot out of a cannon every time he touches it. Um, you know, he’s he’s so fun to play with. Um, wants the ball. Ultimate competitor. Um, you know, there’s times where I’m, you know, I toss it to him, hand it off to him, and I’m just already put my hands up because I feel like he’s he’s about to crib it. And, uh, there’s two that were real close tonight. Real close. And he’ll tell you that, too. But, uh, you know, he’s he’s been such a catalyst for for our offense. Um, special player. Yeah, he we they are letting James Cook. The the shocking thing to me, the the concern in the preseason, does he get enough work? Well, he’s now had 22 touches in back-to back games. It’s the first time in consecutive games in his career that he’s had at least 22 touches. Seven consecutive games now with at least one rushing touchdown dating back to last season. He’s also had 10 in the last 11. That was the concern coming in the preseason and I will raise my hand through three games. I have completely whiffed. James Cook is my biggest whiff of the preseason. Like just didn’t think he would get all the touchdown equity that he’s getting right now. Didn’t think he would get the usage that he’s getting. He’s just getting massive workload. Um and for a guy that held out most of camp like we usually see them ramp up slow and and you know sometimes they have injuries like Yeah. Conor, he looks better than I’ve ever seen him look before. running again, Maya on this one. I think he’s running harder than he ever has before. Coming out of college, he was kind of this outside zone. You know, you look at him as more of maybe even a different version, but kind of similar to his brother as well. And now he’s kind of looked at the Bills. The Bills can play volleyball. Like when their offensive line is rolling and Jackson Haw is now the uh blocking tight end, but they use him as their sixth offensive lineman that they used to do last year with actually six offensive linemen. He can get downhill and run through contact. So James Cook looks better than ever in my opinion. Yeah. I mean, when the Bills transitioned to this strody offense, the big change was like no more superhero cape for Josh Allen. Play in, play out. They are they are a run the football type of team. They sit in the middle of the pack in terms of pass rate over expectation, which is a rarity when you have a quarterback as good as Josh Allen, but they want to be able to protect Josh and get him in an advantageous situations. And so, to me, one of the strangest quirks about this season is that the Bills schedule is just comically easy. like they are going to be at least five point favorites in every single game until week 17 home to the Eagles outside of they play Kansas City at home three-point favorite even like the next hardest game for them in the next four months is like at Houston like they’re going to be like five point favorites there like the Texans aren’t good at the moment so they could go to a touchdown when all I think that they’re just going to be in these game scripts they’re also like this team is playing for the Super Bowl like Josh Allen doesn’t need to put up big stats passing wise in the regular season I think James Cook is going to keep doing this. He won his he won his MVP. Uh right now he’s the second best running back in fantasy. Only Chris McAffrey is averaging more fantasy points per game. Would you try to sell high? Do you think this is sustainable throughout the season for James Cook? I think given the schedule and their the run balance nature of their team. I I think it kind of is. I I Yeah, it’s I’ve done a 180 on James Cook, man. I was I was you know I I just got to own it. Um you you uh you see that schedule there. I don’t think we need to talk about anything with Josh Allen. He’s a stud. You know it. The only thing that’s notable here is that he attempted 28 pass attempts, which is under 29 and a half. So that cashes my bet from last night. Jay, your your bet cashed as well. Did Han get there? I thought he Oh, he did. No, Han Han got there. Did he? Okay. Yes. Han got there on your bet. Lawrence’s bet of 70 yards for Tyreek Hill at plus money. That did not cash. So, we were two for three last night. Shout out to Fantasy Life. One bet that I did place before because of them, Ray Davis became a popular prop throughout the week because of the script. Everyone’s like, “The Bills are going to be blown him out. He’ll get carries.” Uh, they liked him under 26 and a half. I followed that one. He wasn’t involved at all because they just keep handing the ball to James Cook and and Ty Johnson gets a little involvement. So, shout out to Fantasy Life for a great projection on that one. Fantasy Life has a tool that if if you bet on sports, Fantasy Life has a tool where they take our projections. We have great projections from Dwayne McFarland and uh and basically looks through every prop from every book. you know, we default to DraftKings because we’re a DraftKings company. But, you know, whatever book you like to play at, it all it you can you can choose your book, you can choose your game, you can choose your player, just like, hey, here’s all the the uh here’s all the projections and here’s where we bet over, under, here’s where we think the biggest edge is. Here’s where we think the biggest um opportunity is. Uh Dalton Concade we have to talk about here, guys. For the second straight game, he leads the team in targets. He now has an end three end zone targets of the season, which is a uh team high. Uh, so fix it fire wants to know. All right, I have Cook, Genty Taylor, and Connor at running back. I need a wide receiver. Who would you trade? Who would you target? I think I would trade James Connor and uh I think I would I would rank those guys. Cook, Taylor, Genty, Carner. Tyler. I have Taylor Warren as well. Tyler doesn’t come off the field. I know he I know he doesn’t, but Daniel Jones sort of sneaks and there’s like more a little bit more injury risk with him that I feel. Yeah, I think Jonathan Taylor, the thing is is with his injury history, he got his like leg caught twice for two high ankle sprains in separate years and then he tore a ligament in his thumb. So, was he actually that injury prone or he just get and there was one year like he held out coming into the season people like think like oh he was no he held out for a month. So I don’t know Jonathan Taylor until I mean his entire career till that the first injury he was very healthy. I just think with T like Taylor has the highest rushing prop of any player in the NFL this week. So I think the line looks good too. Yeah. and he the Jonathan Taylor at the highest speed that anyone has hit in the history of the NFL in the next gen stats era on the weekend. So I don’t know I think that Taylor has a chance to be like RB1 for the season. So I think that Cook I mean yes he’s been amazing and I think it’s going to continue to some extent but I still think like it’s three weeks I still think he needs to regress a little bit to preseason expectations just a little bit whereas with Taylor uh I’m just fully bought in there. I wonder what Jensy I think a top 20 by the way it depends on it’s all about how you market it fix it fire but just to answer you like hard to say like who would you who would you I would trade Connor of those four running backs Connor is the one that I would trade and you know try to get the best wide receiver you can I don’t know if it’s a 10 team league 12 team league you’re playing three wide receivers two wide receivers I don’t know the the value of a wide receiver in your league in your format is it PPR half PPR etc but uh Connor is who you should trade and would you trade him for like a given he’s so loaded at running back would you trade him for like a Devonte Smith type of that type of player. That’s right. I think it’s a I think it’s a top 20 guy. But by the way, if you can get a superstar for one of because you’re so loaded at running back, if you can I don’t mind trading any one of those guys to get the best player available as well. I want to get back to Dalton Concincaid. How um the only concern here so my question is is like how much do we buy this? Dalton Concincaid is somebody that I talked about in the offseason. I spoke with a Bills offensive uh coaching staff member at the combine who I where I said what happened to Dalton Concincaid last year. like, dude, he was hurt the entire year. This year, he’s going to be fully healthy. Watch out for Dalton Concade. And I wrote that in my combine column and talked about him in the preseason. On the season, he’s the he’s uh he’s a top six fantasy tight end. He’s averaging over 13 fantasy points per game. But there’s one concern here, guys. His route participation is just 60%. Which is 27th at the position. Like among all tight ends, he is 27th in route participation. That said, when he’s out there, it seems like Josh Annal is looking for him. Second straight game, as I said, second straight game for Don Concincaid where he led the Bills and targets. Yeah, I think the good thing with Concaid as well, Connor, is that he just looks more explosive. He looks more spry. Last year, he looked, frankly, more like a tight end, whereas in his rookie year, you know, this guy is more like a effectively a receiver at tight end with that type. They spent a first round pick on him and uh he’s looking like it so far in terms of the talent. And you like that they threw him a screen that worked out really well. So there’s design touches for him. I think the counter is they love their other two tight ends as blockers in Jackson Haw and Dalton Knox where that takes Dalton Concade off the field at times. So you like the Bills. The thing is the Bills are going to be in high-scoring games. Yeah. So he’s going to have the opportunity where you don’t really worry about it too much. Uh let’s move over to the Dolphins now and just I I it was talked to me in my ear. By the way, Achan actually did not get there. So I apologize. I saw that he had nine targets and and wasn’t track. So I was very upset. The weird part is just usually what happens is just behind the scenes here after we do our bets like on any prime time game I always feel like I should bet like I’m not a guy that like you know gives it out and I always bet whatever I say and I try to then like I’ll individual I’ll usually individually bet when we do like what for Monday night or for anything. So I I I put money on your on yours on Lawren’s and then I threw them all into a parlay and at least I did. So my achan bet on DraftKings cash last night. So I must have bet he went over because he had seven catches, right? So I must Yeah. So maybe I misunderstood what your bet was, but my h bet. So just right. So anyway, there you go. So anyway, apologies there. So let’s move on to the Dolphins. Connor, take control of the show, please. I mean, a little news or noise here. Ali Gordon kind of the story for the Dolphins last night in terms of involvement. Just a totally different runner than Achan. Uh, I think the question here is Matthew if he’s going to continue to get more involved in this offense. We got to hear from Gordon after the game on just the amount of touches he got against the Bills. It felt really good honestly just to show my teammates, my coaches, you know, hey, trust me whenever we in the heat of the moment and, you know, when stuff gets serious. So, you know, it felt good getting in there, being able to play with them. Uh, you know, it was really just making them stop the run. you know, our linemen were getting on their blocks, our running backs were getting downhill, and that’s that’s really what it takes, you know, and um once they try to stop the run, everything else opens up. So, I feel like that’s what helped us a lot. Ali Gordon gets the touchdown last night. Obviously, a much bigger back. And Ty, we laughed when Tyreek Hill kind of said this about them being in third and short and the goal line and, you know, take Achan off the field. Well, I I get the snap rate is low there, Matthew, but Gordon’s role to me is very, very clear when they need a hard in between the tackles runner. There’s no question about it. He got 60% of the red zone rushes, 67% of their goal to go opportunities, and I think that will only continue. He converts the touchdown early in the game. I think the challenge here though is is do I think the role increases? Do I think he’s special? Do I think everyone that he needs to be 100% rostered? Yes, because if you have a Chan, you need Ali Gordon. I just don’t know that he has a lot of standalone value because he’s going to be if he doesn’t score a touchdown, he’s not involved in the passing game. I don’t know he’s getting enough work in the run game where you feel good about it. So, he’s very touchdown dependent. And honestly, like look, the Dolphins were better last night than they’ve have been. But is how great how much do you feel like the Dolphins this year are going to be in neutral or positive game where they’re able to run? And I just don’t have a great sense of that. To me, Ollie Gordon, he’s Brilen Allen. Like, he’s stuck behind a number one guy who gets a lot of pass catching work as well. And I just don’t think you’re ever going to start Ollie Gordon unless Deon Achan is hurt. Yep. Does Achan’s receiving involvement keep him viable even if Gordon ramps up? That’s from Joseph Fiskll for sure. Yeah, of course. I mean, you’re not This is no way a panic mode about a I mean I mean again, so far on the season, Devon Achan has a 27% target share. Like that’s an elite wide receiver kind of target share for a running back. That’s Alvin Chimera at I was gonna say like the past decade like he was set at he ended up closing at 42 and a half receiving yards. Devin A Chan uh which is like the same range as like Travis Hunter receive. So I just think that like outside of Camaro I can’t remember a running back even like Christian McCaffrey didn’t doesn’t get set that high even at his peak. So yeah I think a Chan like he’s just locked in RB1 uh until further notice or if he gets hurt. 75% of Han’s points this year have come as a receiver. So, absolutely, I’m uh not worried about that role moving away. Let’s get into some injuries we’re tracking going into the weekend because there’s a lot to get through here, guys. Jaden Daniels with that knee not spotted at practice today. Brock Perie, more notably, is the toe injury. He was limited on Thursday. Uh his receiver, Jawan Jennings, by the way, did not practice on Thursday. Jennings is banged up ankle and shoulder right now. So, uh, Josh Jacobs shows up with the ankle. Zack Charbanet with a foot he could potentially miss this week. Jacksonville dealing with a couple injuries at the skill group. Splutin with a shoulder. Ryan Thomas with a wrist injury. Xavier Worthy, we know he’s trying to come back with his in upper body injury as well. Amecha Ibuka is back at practice today. He did not practice Wednesday. He did not practice Thursday. So, that is a very positive sign for the Bucks. They have 95 different injuries. Tucker Craft. We had a little bit of a scare there yesterday, but it sounds like everything has come back clean. So, a lot here. I think Matthew, we start with Jaden Daniels, of course. Yeah. And, you know, we got to hear from Cliff Kingsbury just on his status this week. Keep in mind, this was before he was not spotted at practice today. He’s just preparing mentally. You know, Marcus is getting the reps physically, Jaden. Um, preparing mentally and and we’ll take it from there. you know, if if Marcus does is able to play um or is the one that you have to to start this week, what gives you confidence in him um and his ability to execute your offense? Yeah, last year uh just being around him for a year when we signed him back, we felt like we have two starters in the building, which is is rare in this league. So, anytime he was asked to play or practice or um even on scout team, he’s been phenomenal. So, um treats like a pro as a leader on the team despite, you know, not being the starter, which is hard to do. and um can’t say enough good things about him. So, if he has to go, I’m sure he’ll be ready. This from Adam Shfter, Commanders quarterback Jaden Daniel has not been spotted at practice today, signaling uh that it’s unlikely he’ll be recovered from his knee sprain in time to start Sunday’s game versus the Raiders. Marcus Mariota is in line to start versus former team. Cliff Kingsbury a very Kottow type of vibe where he spent his kind of year off after the Cardinals. Very laid-back. I like as well his phrasing where mentally it’s Jaden Daniels but physically it’s Marcus Mariota the physical vessel of Marcus Mariota is taking the snaps physically but mentally it’s the brain of Jaden Daniels. Uh this is actually forgot Marcus Mariota played for the Raiders revenge game had a few stops. He’s had a few stops. Yeah. Uh how you feeling Matthew? I feel okay. Honestly the fact of the matter is is Marcus Mariota played for Jaden Daniels two different times last year right? week seven against Carolina, week 18 at Dallas when the team had sort of clinched and and he was good in both games, right? So the the Panthers game over 200 passing yards, two touchdowns, 34 rushing yards. He finished his QB8 that week with over 19 fantasy points. That game against Dallas in week 18. Again, it’s a week 18 game, but still 161, two touchdowns, 56 rushing yards and a touchdown. I believe Daniels played like the first series maybe in that game. I could be wrong on that one, but he finished that week as QB6. So, he’s got he started twice last year in this offense and he was a top eight quarterback each week. Again, I do think the Raiders are tougher to run against than they are to throw against. Commanders have had since last Thursday against the Packers when they lost that they’ve had 10 days to prepare for a home game against the Raiders, whereas the Raiders were the late game on Monday night. So, they’re traveling on a short week. Uh I think that uh of the of the quarterbacks of the of the M. Jones and the Tyrod Taylor of the of the Carson Wentzes of the world of the replacement quarterbacks out there. I think Marcus Moriota is the number one guy. Jake Browning, huh? Uh yeah, I would take him over Jake Browning just because the matchup like Minnesota is a little tougher long if I don’t even want to put this into the universe at a over a longer stretch of period. I would um I think I would prefer Mariota to I’m sorry I would prefer Browning to Mariota just because the weapons Browning have. But this week, I prefer Mariota and the matchup to Browning against the Vikings because I I think Brian Flores brings the heat on uh you know, yeah, I mean his pressure schemes are unbelievable. They are a very aggressive defense and the schedule is not going to get any easier after that. We got a question here. This one from Craig Gier. Hello. The Jailer, the Conler, and the ankler. The ankler is pretty good. The ankler is pretty good. Craig, that might stick is out. How does that affect Bill start JCM or trivia on Henderson in that? I don’t know. It’s tough to start Trayvon this week. Exactly. That’s the point. I mean, you had you had me at or Henderson. So, the answer here is Jakory Crosky Merritt. I don’t think it affects Bill at all. They’re still going to run the offense they run. Now, it’s a tough match up. Again, we’ve talked about this. The Raiders top five run defense so far in the season. And he’s not going to get the majority of the work. like he’s going to get I think he gets more work than Jeremy McNichols or Chris Rodriguez, but he’s not going to get all of the work is probably a better way to say it. It is going to be a three-headed committee that JCM will be uh at the head of, but I you know, so I mean I he’s a he’s a low-end flex play for me, Krosky Merritt, but I do have him ranked higher than Trevian Henderson, and going from Daniels to Mariota does not change that for me. Maybe they lean on him a little bit more, but they have full confidence in in Mariota there. As we mentioned guys, keep an eye on the NerS today. We’re going to find out more on this Friday session. Brock Pury limited on Thursday. Maybe you can give it a go. Jawan Jennings, it would be great to see him get a practice in on Friday. Jacksonville is a very interesting situation right now because Brian Thomas Jr. was downgraded on Thursday. You never like to see the late week downgrade. He was downgraded to limited. This is a wrist injury. Trevor Lawrence spoke on the slow start between him and the superstar wide receiver. It just it doesn’t always go perfect. You know, obviously we would have loved to start off hot these first two games and our connection be, you know, ripping and me finding them everywhere and him having a great year and all those things. But, I mean, we’re in week two, everybody. So, I think we can all just take a deep breath, give BT a little space. You know, he’s he’s going to be just fine. Not worried about him at all. Um it’s just something we got to continue to work at and and you know we’re going to have a good plan for him each week to be involved and he’s too good of a player to not you know be involved and make those plays down the field that we all know he can make. Not a great start for Brian Thomas Jr. who had massive expectations. And the craziest part is here Jay the targets are there the production is not. this offense just even though they put up some volume numbers against the Bengals, it just doesn’t feel like it’s clicking at the moment, which is okay. It’s like week two in a new system, new offensive uh play caller in Liam Cohen, but Trevor Lawrence hasn’t looked good so far and he’s missed Brian Thomas Jun. He’s missed Travis Hunter on a lot of balls, too. I think this is going to get better. I would buy the dip on Brian Thomas Jr., but it’s uh it’s not something you can really count on for now. I think if he plays, you still have to start him. What else are you going to do? I mean, they’re Right. Exactly. And they’re playing Houston, which I don’t love the match up there. Texans a very good defense. But still, I agree with you. Like, let’s spend a second round pick on Brian Thomas. We three got Yeah. I mean, depending on what your options are, I can’t I can’t imagine a scenario where you’re benching Brian Thomas Jr. real quickly. Bleacher Nation app just uh throws a couple of quick alerts. Commander head coach Dan Quinn says quarterback Jaden Daniels was limited today. So, they’re going to start Marcus Moriota against uh against the Raiders. And Jaden Daniels officially will be out on Sunday. So, that has happened. Chris Godwin, Tristan Worfs officially ruled out by Todd BS and Amecha Buuka will be listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jets. So there you go officially those official designations as to what we thought was going to happen, but I’m saying those are now those are now official designations. Another one that we did just get some more news on as we have a question here before we move to Tucker Craft. This one is from Jay Stabs. Is Brian Thomas still a buy while he’s struggling? This is always relative. I just heard Jay say buy the dip. Yes. Yeah, right. It depends obviously what you’re trading for him. I trade Jonathan Taylor for him. Yes. I I would be trading like we got a question before about like James Connor. Like I would trade James Connor for Brian Thomas Jun. I’d rather have Brian Thomas Jr. because of the upside there. You still have to regress to the talent. Guy was like third in the NFL in receiving yards last year as a rookie. Like I think that there it’s going to be okay for Brian Thomas Jr. might just be some growing pains in this new scheme. Let me throw a wild one at you. Would you trade Ashton Genty for Brian Thomas Jr.? I would not. I’d rather have Genty. I’d rather have Genty. Me too. The Raiders are gonna they’re gonna get the run going. They will. And strange run. I might like I mean it’s probably going to get going but and people everyone will be like don’t trade Ashen Jensy now the value can only go up. There’s still some shine on Ashton Jens. We immediately was like no you can’t trade him for Brian Thomas Jr. like I don’t know like if I could trade uh it’s not a crazy question for sure. I think I’d rather have James Cook than Ashton Genty for sure and I’d rather have Jonathan Taylor than Yeah. But the way I always when you get questions like that, the way I just a quick sort of mental exercise is I like, okay, if we were drafting today, if we had to draft for the rest of the season, who goes first, Genty or Thomas? And I would argue that Genty, if we if we literally did a draft today for the rest of the season, um you can do that on guillotine.com, by the way, like the their draft every single week. Um if you know, in a draft today, you would draft Genty over Brian Thomas Jr., but you would also draft Jonathan Taylor and James Cook over Genty. So yeah, it’s just like where just in your mind like who’d you’d rather have for the rest of the season. So there you go. Been a bit of a Tucker Craft roller coaster the last 24 hours. He injured his knee in Thursday’s practice. The Craftler. The Craftler. The Tuckler. Tuck Daddy. That too. Ian Raport said it’s not believed to be a long-term issue. Adam Shfter reported that he’s believed to be all good. We got to hear from Matt Laflur actually just a couple minutes ago. He said he he doesn’t believe he’ll go on IR after suffering a knee injury. I’d hope not. his game status against the Browns. He’s got to feel confident and be cleared at the same time. He didn’t do anything at practice today. I would have an backup plan for Tucker Craft this week. I think he’ll be okay after this weekend, but I would It doesn’t It seems like a longer shot at the moment. And why push it? Why push it? You don’t need to. You’re too playing Joe Flacko. You’re playing Yeah. automatic win. Yeah. I mean, you feel good if you’re the Packers and Matt Lafur. feel good about where you are and given the long-term aspirations of Green Bay, you expect them they they’re going to be, you know, very careful with Tucker Graph. This is a team that wants to be playing in uh in San Francisco in the Super Bowl uh at the end of the year. Uh what I was going to the last thing I’ll just say here is that fantasy football fantasy football pregame Sunday morning 11:00 a.m. Eastern all the way until kickoff right here on Peacock and YouTube. We will get you set. We will give you all the tight ends that are out there. We’ll have all the latest injury updates. So, the Harlem Globe Trotters have words. Yeah. I mean, like it’s been a long week. It’s been a long week. Got a Packers jersey. I have no Pop-Tarts. It’s like whatever. Life’s tough for the regulars as well. When Matthew said, “Oh, great.” in response to the Matt Lafleur being on top. Matthew thought there was sound coming. I thought we had There is no sound. There is no sound. That’s true. I thought producer Steven had been Johnny on the spot and like that’d be a quick turnaround. I’ll give Stephen that. Yeah. You you said, “Oh, we just heard from Matt Laflur.” And I’m like, “Oh, oh, that that must mean we have video sound.” When I say we have heard, it’s me on Twitter watching his press conference. Okay, got it. So, uh, we brought up that of Connor watching the press conference. Yeah, it’s right here. Scrolling Twitter during the show. Yeah, during the show. Keeping you two idiots up to date on everything. That’s fair. All right, Becca Ibuka, he did get some work in today after missing two practices. He will be questionable. Uh ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports a week four return for Chris Godwin feels like a real possibility. Godwin and Tristan Warfs have been doing some stuff at practice. They’re not going to play this week, but it’s good to see them back out on the field. And back to Ashton Genty here, guys. Pete Carroll did comment on Genty. He said he would like to get him around 20 carries a game. And Ashton Genty said he’s very aware that the Raiders are going to get him going and get him the ball more. Oh, now we have Sam. I don’t think you you draft a guy like me um to not give me you know carries and and touches and you know I’m I’m ready for the responsibility and you know like I said um you know it’s going to start with me and you know in the run game and I got to continue to get better. There’s a learning curve to the NFL for you know every single rookie that comes in. I mean I think it’s really rare that a guy comes in and just flat out balling off the rip. Um so I’m not you know feeling no type of way towards it. I just like I said I need to get better and you know uh the big time performances that you know everybody might be expecting I mean those will come but you know it’s just about consistency. Ashen Genty through two weeks not what fantasy managers were hoping for but keep the faith he’s too good. I I completely agree. Also I it’s just it’s too early to bail on somebody that you spent that much draft capital on. It is healthy. was healthy. And so, yeah, I mean, I just weird game against uh the Chargers, but they’re going to get that fixed out, fixed. And and by the way, we’ve seen this before. Rookie running backs sometimes take a little while to get going. We we talked earlier in the week about Amari and Hampton as well. Like I I would buy low. I would buy the dipped on Ashton Genty. And I’m still hanging tough with Omar and Hampton. Think of every single rookie running back right now because Hampton and Genty get a lot of the spotlight. RJ Harvey, Tvon Henderson. No, I mean it’s been it’s been rough for the most part. The only one that’s actually working is Jakori Kroski Merritt, right? Which is Quinton Judkins was better last Judkins is coming. Yeah, he’s coming. Caleb Johnson. I mean, he’s on kick return. I mean, it’s ridiculous. Right. Exactly. Now, to be fair, Caleb Johnson did determine the outcome of that game by not understanding the rules in the end zone. It literally cost the He did. It just It takes a little bit time. It’ll uh it’ll get there. A lot of frustrations in the fantasy world right now, but as we do every Friday, we bring on a doctor to solve them. Yes. He writes, “Dear Matthew, uh, my girlfriend wants me to try bouty this weekend. I’ve seen and heard good things about Booty, but I’m nervous. So, Dr. Carter, how experimental should I be this week with Booty?” That’s Keshan Booty, of course. That’s right. Yeah. Um, look, I know many of you out there in the listening audience and the viewing audience are booty curious after, you know, last week’s performance from Kan Booty where he caught six of eight targets for 103 yards against the Raiders. If you’re going to commit to to booty, you got to commit to booty. You know what I mean? Fair enough. Frustrations with Dr. Denny Carter. Hello, Dr. Denny. Welcome back. Hey guys, uh, you know, you committed to booty and you got a touchdown out of it. I don’t want to hear any complaining about that. No, no, no. I I I got a note saying thank you. Uh their first experience with Booty was uh was pleasant. You got they’ve added it to their repertoire. That’s right. Yeah. No, you’re in the am. I thought the man in the Packers jersey would have some Dantavian. The hell’s wrong with you today? Oh, for sure. Well, I didn’t know who. Thank you for saying that. Honestly, I can’t do everything. I can’t. I apologize. I keep forgetting Keep forgetting, Denny, that I’m supposed to carry this whole damn thing. All right. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s it’s it’s quite all right. Um I did get uh I did get another uh email. Uh it says, you know, uh dear Matthew, um my girlfriend and I my uh this girl and I have just started dating. Uh we have just started dating and uh we’re things are progressing nicely, but the other night she asked me um she asked me if she could look at my wicks at my Dantavian wix. He wasn’t on my roster. And so my question is is that should I should I should I do that? Should I go get Dantavian and and show my girlfriend my Wix? Should you show the Wix? Yeah. Show the W and my lineup. Of course. I think you should. Uh we’re talking about, you know, a guy in Wix who’s going to see a lot more opportunity with Jaden Reed out of the lineup. Look, I just want to be clear with folks here. Some folks like to be humiliated, and that’s okay. That’s okay. And that’s why you go get the drop prone, mistake prone Dantavian Wixs and you plug him into your flex because he could have a big day with Jaden Reed out. Okay. Humil humiliation is okay sometimes. Last week against Washington, after Reed left the game, uh he ran 70% of the routes. He saw 30% of the team’s air yards, 20% uh of the targets against Washington. He was targeted on a team high 27% of his pass routes. I liked Octavian Wix as a high variance play. You need to get the Wix. Get the Wix into your lineup and show it to everybody. I don’t know. There you go. Okay. Yeah, I know. That makes sense. All right. Uh Danny, back in week one, I spoke to you about uh my performance issues with Wale Robinson with the lights on because it was absolutely terrifying back in week one, but having seen him up close in Dallas on the weekend, Denny, he looked real and he looked spectacular. Are you starting one Dale Robinson this week? He did. Jay, listen. Um, I want to issue an apology to you and the listening audience uh for shaming you about Wellel Robinson. Listen, since that time, since week one, I’ve gone back to school. I’ve earned another degree. Wow. And I’ve learned I’ve learned that I I I was wrong. And I was I was wrong. And I’m sorry. You know, last week against Dallas, he goes uh uh eight for 10 uh eight I’m sorry, eight catches on 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown. He he now ranks seventh, guys, in both wide out receiving yards and wide out receptions. I don’t really understand what’s going on, but no one no one should have shame about playing Wel Robinson in week three against Kansas City. I don’t understand what’s going on. It’s a great great quote for your real Denny. Yeah, you know, it’s not often recommended. I have a flexual frustration as well. Yeah, I have one for him right now, Tina. Yeah, I got one for you. Started going into it before you cut it off, Danny. It’s not recommended to, you know, rekindle things with a with a college fling, but it seems like Troy Franklin and Bo Knicks are doing that. Do you recommend this? Should they keep it going or leave the good times behind? You know what, uh, Connor, that’s a much better angle than I had. So, let’s go with it. Uh, yes, sometimes sometimes it’s good to connect uh with with an old college flame, with a old high school flame, whatever it is, and and get back with them and see if you can work it out. And you know what? Also, folks, you got to you got to remember, we got to be vulnerable. We got to put our hearts on the line. And that’s what we’re doing this week with the the usage rug for uh uh for Troy Franklin that could be yanked out from under us at any moment by Shawn Payeyton who uses his receivers in weird ways. But yes, he had a great game against the Colts last week, a touchdown and 89 yards. He has 15 uh targets through two games. Uh he’s running about 75% of the routes in this offense. I think he is worthy of a flex spot in 12 team leagues at worst. If you have more flexual frustrations for Denny, he will be doing a Q&A right after our show. That is 100 pm, of course, on the NFL on NBC YouTube channel. Denny, thank you as always. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Dr. Carter. Unbelievable hair in this photo. Probably looks like a wig to be honest. It does look It looks a little fake. Yeah, I don’t know what that is at all. We’re taking our first break. When we’re back, you guys continue to ask the big questions. We hopefully deliver the right answers. What’s on tap for the weekend right after this. Hey, hey, hey. Black hey [Music] D hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey d Hey, hey, hey. Hey hey dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip. Hey, hey, hey. Black a day. A Sunday night, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs take a road trip to New York where they face the Giants in a prime time showdown. Sunday 7 Eastern on NBC and Peacock. Somebody has to win. Uh, and somebody will. Now, I want a lot of people are wondering, hey, who drinks free today? And we are a show. We Jay, we are a show. Conor, you know this as well. We are a show that celebrates champions. You think about me and in the League of back-to back champions as well. So, I just want to take a moment here to let everyone know very excitingly that Todd Zal won an Emmy last night for the second. I’m going to stand. I’m going to stand. Backto back twotime Emmy winner. Todd Zal. Todd Zal. One of the great for free. Yeah, one of the greats. One of the alltime greats. It’s like watching Brady in his prime just sweeping the Emmys every year. We love you, Todd Zal. You’re a legend. Um, it’s worth noting that our own Connor Rogers is a back-toback loser. That’s right. No, I’m not. I wasn’t nominated last year. Don’t give me that much credit. Well, listen, it’s tough. So, once again, I have lost to Todd twice now. Yes, exactly. I am officially I’m officially Josh Allen. I can’t get over the hump. He’s your Mahomes. I He is officially my Patrick Mahomes. It’s difficult because when I think of baseball, I think Otani, Judge, Zeal. Those are the three. She’s gone. She’s gone. It’s very hard to crack. Yeah. What are you going to do? But the good thing is this year I didn’t go and sit through 10 hours. I’m going to find out I lost. Do you think at some point I don’t know if this might be too old a reference for you, but uh there was there was an old show on NBC called Nightcourt and there was a there was an actor on the on the show called John named John Lette not called named John Lquette and he he was he was hang on I’m going somewhere with this. He was brilliant. He was brilliant in the role. He was a he was kind of this very uh he was a defensiator. Anyway, point of the story is is that he won the Emmy so many years for outstanding comedy, you know, outstanding like supporting comedy actor for Nightcourt that eventually like after four or five years of winning in a row, he eventually took himself out of the running, just said, “I want somebody else to win.” And so John Lat just said, “I will no longer run in this category.” I don’t know if Todd’s going to do that. And so that’s my question. Yeah, I don’t think so. I think I think at some point I think at some point I think SMY likes all of their Mets uh nominees winning. It’s very good for the network that is the official home. If he wins two more, if he becomes the John Larette of sports Emmys, you you still don’t think he’ll let you in. I I hope he I hope he doesn’t. Yeah, I want to I want to beat Tom at this point. Like, do you think Josh Allen just like I hope Mahomes is retired or miss? Yeah, you got to beat him. No, you got to beat him. Yeah, I know. But like Josh Allen has a shot. I mean, come on. He’s Todd Zal. He’s Emmy award-winning Todd Zal. Like, come on now. Just such a ridiculous setup with the John Larette thing. There was a player on the Ravens name called Lamar Jackson. Well, actually it was his real name. It was his name Lamar Jackson called Lamar. It was the first example I could think of. It was the first example I could It’s been a long week. America. It’s been Stop it. Nobody’s going to watch this. It’s been a long long week. Honestly, it’s been a long month. If I if I’m if I’m I’m not lying here, guys. Craig B in the chat said, “Night court, great show.” We are old. Yes, Nightcourt was a great show. By the way, you can probably watch reruns of it on Peacock. There you go. Chef is brought to you by Budlight, the official beer sponsor of the NFL. Sundays are easy to enjoy when they’re full of football and the fridge is filled with beer. We’re going to make it even easier for you by getting to these questions. The first one from Kyle Cabario. Flex question. Chuba Hubard or George Pickkins? Defensive opposition makes me question Chuba. Appreciate all of you. Hashthemles. Show them ankles. Show them ankles. Calling them man ankles. Yeah. know, show them ankles. Todd Zal would have read that correctly. I I get the question. I get the question because Hubbert Hubard has a has a high floor and pick. Oh man. And it’s true though. Josh Allen does have a chance. Yeah. Look, I’m going with Pickkins. The answer is I’m going with Pickkins here. I look, I get the question. I get the concern. Um uh in Hubard is the is the floor play, but the concern is that the Panthers the Panthers off line, you know, uh both Hunt and Corbett went on IR this year. So, it’s banged up offensive line. Falcons been a top 10 run defense so far this year. And then you think about uh George Pickkins going against this Bears defense that, you know, through two games, they’ve allowed the most touchdowns to wide receivers. Jaylen Johnson, uh the Bears top corner, he’s going to miss this game. This is one of the highest overunders on the slate. I think Dak Prescott has a monster game. I actually think it’s a shootout between the two teams. And so I think Pickkins gets deep for one. He’s my wide receiver 22 this week. I just it’s more of a riskier play. It’s more riskreward than Hubard who has a floor. But I think in that particular case, I would go with George Pickkins. And as requested, they’re the Minkles. Actually, hang on. My socks a little too high. Jay, give a comment on George. There you go. There you go. That’s for you, baby. Yeah. Well, particularly after that, I disagree. I’m going too. the trouble. He’s been down 20 to3 at halftime his first two games. I think the Falcons are going to definitely do that. The thing is with Pickkins is that game the total starts with a five which is good. That’s what you like. There will be explosives down the field available against pretty barren Bears secondary. There’s not a lot going on there. They were absolutely roasted by the Lions. I think with Chuba Hubbard it’s just how much do you believe that the Panthers are actually this bad? Are they actually like the worst team? They might be. Yeah, they could be. Dave Canal could not be the guy. Yeah, I kind of lean towards him not being the guy. I thought that Tampa’s offense got better when he left. But uh yeah, Chub is still going to gonna get a lot of work, but I think to your point, if you want ceiling, pickins, if you want floor, Chubler. Regular number two on our list here as we get through more questions from the regular. This is Oscar asking for half PPR. Elko Manor, of course, Jameson Williams, Romeo Dos, or Trayvon Henderson. Got a lot of Trayvon Henderson questions. Yeah, I’m I’m going with Jameson Williams here. We we’ve talked a lot about that Detroit Ravens game on uh on Monday night. 52 and a half over under. We expect a ton of fantasy points. Uh Ravens have struggled against I mean again it’s it’s skewed. It’s only two games and it’s skewed by that Bills that crazy Bills game in week one. But still only one team has given up more passing yards this season than the Baltimore Ravens. I thought Jameson Williams looked good last week. I thought the Lions offense came back. So of all those other guys, I just feel like to me Jameson Williams is the guy uh that I would play there. You know what’s interesting though? You said regular number two, which I thought that was the that was the name of like the guy. Nope. I like the idea of ranking the regulars though. I like I like the regulars, you know, giving themselves a number and ranking themselves or or we should do it on a on a on a weekly basis. The chat kind of does it based on your activity. There’ll be like a little crown that says number one, number two. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. So, they get they get like a little a nice little logo next to their username in the chat the more they interact with the chat. Stephen, let’s let’s uh let’s do a leaderboard next week. Let’s go through and figure out who’s got the you know couple jumped to mind. We had stunt man Chuck at the top of the show. Julio think you are Johnny Dangerly. The names are starting to really is always in there. Y is in there. Yep. I agree on Jameson Williams. I do think though that the best wide receiver in Tennessee so far has been Eio Mana. Calvin really does not look at the races at all. And I think that uh eventually that will become uh he will become the lead guy in that passing game as Connor has said previously. I I do agree but for this week I’m going with Jameson Williams. But I but you you’ve said I minor needs to be picked up in all leagues and you’ve been saying that for weeks and weeks and weeks. Y our last question from Jillian Flores. Need a flex in PPR. Isaiah Pacheco, Tyrone Tracy or Jawan Johnson? I got to stop with all the Jawan Johnson questions. I feel like this is it’s it’s crazy. I I I think Pacheco had again it’s it’s sort of like the hovered pickins question. PCO has the best chance at a touchdown. PCO I I it’s definitely not Tyrone Tracy. No, but what I’m saying PCO has the best got chance at touchdown. I think PCO is probably your floor play, but I kind of like Jawan Johnson in this one. Jan I mean like honestly seriously he’s been a top three fantasy tight end. This the Saints are chucking it all over. They’re at Seattle. They’re going to be down. Um, was he a member of Live on the two years ago? Yes, he was. He He He has a title. He’s one he’s part of a back-to-back championship the same way that Todd Zal is. So, yeah, PCO is the floor play. Uh, Joan Johnson is the, you know, riskreward play. So, it sort of depends on what you’re looking for from that spot. Who’d rather have Joan Johnson or TJ Hawinson rest of the season? Honestly, scary question. It’s It’s a legit question. I’m probably still going Hawinson, but man, it’s Saints got the better quarterback so far at the moment. I agree. Wentz is going to bring Hawk back to life. I agree with that. It’s McCarthy sunk a lot of that offense, more than people even realize somehow. That’ll do it for What’s on tap presented by Bud Light. Easy to drink, easy to enjoy. We’re taking one more break when we’re back. You know what time of the week it is. Jay and I have our pickup lines for Matthew. By the way, no team’s allowed more fantasy points to tight ends than the Seattle Seahawks. Giving more credence to my Jawan Johnson call. Noted. Heat. Heat.

That’s what I’m talking about. Last call. Pickup lines. Effectiveness. We are being tracked. Matthew has picked Jay twice and they are both losers like me against Todd Zal. Yes, you are. You are the You are the Conor Rogers of uh of pickup lines effectiveness. I’m trying to be the Todd Zal. I am one and one although Matthew never picks me. Jay, what do you got for him this? Kind of looks like he’s six years old in that photo. What’s going on? So, I’ve been ice cold lately. Very cold. Cold Palmer, but here’s the way to heat up. Uh Jonathan Taylor, talked about him earlier in the show. very good football player taking him over 13 and a half receiving yards. And here’s why. There’s a few things. One, he’s not coming off the field. He came off the field a ton in previous years because he wasn’t there on passing downs. But here’s the reason why he’s on the field, Matthew. I’ve been doing a deep dive on Colts film room Twitter, which is a very strange place, but I’ve done it. I’ve done it for everyone so you don’t have to cuz I got a lot of money on the Colts this year in lots of ways. Here’s the thing with Jonathan Taylor. He’s learned how to pass block. He was never a good pass blocker. In his career, he had never topped a 57 PFF grade in pass blocking. This year, 79. I watched the tape on Twitter via these strange accounts. He is pass blocking like a madman. It’s allowing him to stay out there on the field. He’s had 50 and 27 receiving yards his first two games. He’s averaging 27 routes per game after 21 last year. He’s just out there a ton. Also, uh the screen pass took 43 yards last week. That was the fastest speed that anyone has ever hit in the NFL since speed has been recorded in the NFL. So, maybe throw the ball to that guy. Jonathan Tyler gets full 10 receiving yards. It’s a good one. You should follow it again. See how it goes. We’ll see. Yeah, we’ll see. All right, I got one for you here, Matthew. A little homer action here. Garrett Wilson over 64 and a half receiving yards. And listen to this. Tyrod Taylor, four full games he played in 2023. Averaged 274 passing yards. He was throwing the ghost to Darren Waller, Jell Robinson. It was not pretty, but Tyrod was putting up big numbers for the Giants in those four full games. There’s no one else to throw to in the Jets offense. It’s Garrett Wilson, Bree Hall. They have no number two wide receiver. They have a rookie tight end and Jeremy Rucker. And Fantasy Life’s projection for Garrett Wilson, this is the biggest disparity of the weekend. They’re projecting him to have 83 receiving yards. The line is 64 and a half. Once again, it’s their biggest difference of numbers. I like both of these. Uh I like both these bets. I’m going to make both these bets. But unlike Mama Emmy, I will choose you, Connor. Wow. Yes. Wow. Both choic. Yes. Yeah. Never liked that woman. Unlike her. Unlike Miss Emmy, whatever it is, whatever you want to say. Unlike Lady Emmy, uh, I will cheer you, Connor. I will bring you home with me. That’s a big exactly 100%. But keep your phone. I may come through. Uh, after Spanish pregame is on Sunday morning at 11 a.m. Eastern on Peacock and YouTube. My 10 facts column is now available on rotoorld.com and NBC Sports. It’s closing time. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here for Jay and Connor. I’m Matthew. We’ll see you on Sunday. Good luck. Peace out. [Music]

Emeka vs Deebo for PPR format
I’m the one person that finds it hilarious. You inspire me to be a great dad joker myself Mr berry. Keep it up my friend
Am I crazy to start Pickens over Brian Thomas ?????
Had the opportunity to stack Josh Allen and James cook, but for watever reason I took Tee Higgins RD 3 🤦🏾♂️
ya know ya know ya ya ya ya know ya know ya know
Sucks seeing Gordon get that goal line carry… but I’m glad they’re getting him involved. Achane was a beast when he was in rotation with Mostert. Best player on that offense so keep him healthy 👍🏽 Dolphins oline looks terrible though.
