Don't wait around, you gotta try the new Burger King chicken nuggets today! Hello everybody, welcome into Fantasy Pros, I am Ryan Warimly joined. By D-Bro, Derek Brown, we are gonna be here every Thursday. I believe at the same time all season long. Answering some start, sit, questions, live. D-Bro, I'm excited, we're here, we have real football to talk about. It is, man, as ugly as that game and as much as it went off the rails last night. It was interesting, and we got real ball. We are officially back, man!

1:03It's no longer like right there on the horizon, it's here, it's back, we're here. We are reminded of the downside of fantasy, and it's the upside, the injuries, the under-preformances, the interceptions, all that fun stuff. How many leagues do you have, Bowers and AJ Brown and, or at least one or the other? I do not have Bowers in any of my leagues because I was firmly on the coast and level and at cost. So I did not step on the Bowers' rake, which nobody could have seen this coming. This is just, again, the run out. And the same thing with AJ Brown. I got him in, I think one league, but past that, I mean, a lot of these are industry leagues and other leagues like content leagues and leagues of fellow colleagues of F.P. I've talked too much about AJ Brown, so I didn't get him to fall to me in a lot of drafts. That game last night wasn't hurting me from a lot of different perspectives, but I understand like, I mean, if anybody drafted AJ Brown, this is the sort of thing that this is what happens with grown man playing football, man, people get hurt.

2:07And I mean, it's easy to say, oh, AJ Brown has been injury prone and what do anybody would have gotten hurt with the way that they've got it down in the way it's not only. I had almost no Drake May or AJ Brown through most most draft season in the last like three drafts. I think I got both them twice because I was, oh, I don't have any of them. I don't want to miss out. And you know, that's the way I'm not worried about Drake May long term. At least I'm not saying. Yeah, well, let's go ahead and dive in here. We got a ton of questions coming in already, we're going to get through as many as we possibly can just a reminder for everybody when you're looking at your lineup decisions, all of our weekly rankings for 2026 can be found at fantasy pros.com slash rankings. And to get a guaranteed response, please send in super chats. We will do our best to get to as many questions as possible throughout the stream, super chats or otherwise, but super chats in the first 20 minutes of the show are the only way to 100% guarantee an answer. Again, Debra and I are going to do our absolute best to get through every single question of possible or at least as much as we possibly can, but super chats that come in early is the way to truly guarantee 100% that you will get an answer.

3:11We'll also prioritize them in the order of how we answer stuff. So let's start with the first super chat question that we had come in here. This one from Vinnie, would you go kittle if not Ferguson or mayor in PPR also if someone is offering Gibbs, would you trade away H and and Hall if needed. So lock going on here. Let's answer the tight and question first, would you go kittle or Ferguson or mayor in PPR mayor than Ferguson and Kittle in that order. I'm sitting Kittle in some in different spots where I have him. I just I don't know what to think about his playing time. I think he's probably going to be obviously a part time player, maybe like a 50 or 60% snap rate. Now a lot of that is probably cater towards passing downs, but still it's a horrible matchup. What do we see out of Kittle and week one. I don't want to mess with any of that with bours being out mayor is going to be a focal point of the passing attack. The dolphins are not a good defense Ferguson at best is the number three in that offense as far as targets goes. I'll go Mike mayor. Where is mayor ranked actually for you this week. I bumped him up. I think he's close to tight in one bill. I don't know the consensus has caught up yet, but I'm just where you're going to have him. I'm at tight in 13 right now. So like like a fringe starter, but to this point, I have him above Dalton, KK Jake Ferguson, Britain, Strange, and George Kittle.

4:26Ferguson is still higher in consensus, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes. It'll change by the time we get to the weekend and people update ranks by something. What about this trade if you could get gives you trade at a chance at all. I kind of think I would. This depends on the size of the league, Vinnie. And if you could throw this in the chat, like if this is a eight or 10 teamer and we have got more depth and more of the onesy and more of like all stars versus everybody's all stars, then I'm more likely likely to do this trade. If this is a 12 teamer, I'm probably not, but it depends on the roster, man. I think it's like 14 or 16 team leader. That's where out way more depth. I think 12 I would. So I think Gibbs might just end up being one of the correct answers this season where it doesn't really matter. And, you know, HN on a bad offense, probably hauling a bad offense, probably I think I would do this. If it's 14 16 team league, something like that, I you're it's a good call by you. I probably wouldn't, but 12 teamer lower. I think I would. Yeah, I think it depends on the team context and things of the nature. Plus the rest of your roster. Yeah. Let's go to question here from Don flex,

5:29Stribbling or Quentin Johnston in full PPR. QJ. Even I mean, I can't start Stribbling a week one when we have no clue what his role is going to be. And even if Mike Evans and George Kittles say they're part-time players, they're still going to be out there. And that's still going to push Stribbling down the target target hierarchy and Evans, even if he's out there, let's just play the worst case scenario here, where say Evans only has a 60% route here. You got to believe that he's going to be in and the primary on red zone stuff. So I can't start Stribbling out the gate. QJ fantastic matchup. Yeah. I'll go with QJ in the ceiling here. I think Quentin Johnson is very underranked in league one rankings, like just regardless of who you're putting them up against in this case is Stribbling. He's watching you were 34. I think I see a low. I think he's going to finish better than that this week. I like to match up. I'm just very in like you, so I lock step there. Totally agree. Another super chat here from James now starts it totally fine. Ask whatever questions you want.

6:31Trade got offered Evans and Pittman for AJ Brown. A PPR. I don't really want to deal with his ankles. Should I accept? So this is coming off of the ankle injury. Are you willing to sort of sell low here on AJ Brown and not deal with the ankle high ankle sprains are long term, even if they're back on the field sooner rather than later. Agreed. Agreed. I'm I'm taking the the Evan side of this. Definitely the Evan side of this. Like I again, we're still waiting on clarity for AJ Brown. Like it's a high ankle spray and they said no fracture, but we'd have no clue about severity. They have even released a timeline right now. And he's an older wide receiver. So are we expecting to bounce back like a 23 year old wide receiver would. So yeah, I I'll take the Evan side of this. I also think there's something to like it's your team. If you don't want to deal with the headache, don't. Yeah, exactly. Like your team get off that roller coaster. I can totally support. I mean, somebody's giving you an off ramp right here. And I think it's actually like fair value considering taking. Yeah.

7:32All right. Next question here from G man. Welcome back. Which one sits in a full PPR Godwin pitman, Quentin Johnson. I'll tell you from me, D bro, the answer to this is pitman. I think the Steelers might like crush the Falcons with given the quarterback situation and not need to throw that much. Pitman's also, you know, might you I don't I don't know what a target share will be, even if he's a number two target earner in this offense, I don't think they're going to throw a lot in this particular game. We just talked about liking Johnson. I think Godwin was severely underrated all draft season for me. Pitman's easy sit. What say you? Pitman's the easy sit for me to I talked about this this morning. Seth and I recorded the primer video, which would be out. I think tomorrow live on YouTube. It's a horrible coverage match up for Michael pitman. This definitely leans in the definitely in the way of DK Metcalf with Atlanta single high. So yeah, I'm not playing pitman in any spot that I got him. Just just for everybody, just context, context from the primer weeks one through Tim with Daniel Jones was healthy last year. Pitman against single high,

8:33which Atlanta last year ran towards the back end of the season. I almost 60% of the defensive snaps. Pitman only had a 20% target per route run rate 1.45 yards per route run. I'm sitting pitman. Another super chat in here. We're at about prices rotation percentage. Kind of seem like he was getting the little bit of the frustrating Kenneth Walker at times usage in Seattle. What was your reaction to? I mean, he looked good, right? He looks all plays like very fun to see him running. But the usage might be a frustration. What do you think? I think the usage usage will be a frustration. I mean, looking at last night, it was like every time to do your price got on the field, we were like, okay, we need to see more Darian price. Why are we and this is all just comes down to like trust of the rookie and stuff. What I will say with the the upside is as we anybody that watched the game, you could tell Seattle was getting more trust and comfortability with Giddrian price as they move through the game.

9:34He started playing more on passing down snaps, started running some more routes. We got a little bit less Georgia Lonnie down the back half of that game. So I don't feel great about Giddrian price. But in the essence of this could be a good by low scenario worm where his role could continue to grow. Right now is the downside because we don't know have a clue what's going on with Sam Darnal. Could he be out for the entirety of the season? Very possible because we still don't know if he has a laboral tear on the hip. But if Sam Darnal comes back and Giddrian price continues to earn more of the work, this could be a nice by low. So I am concerned. But I think anybody with two eyes that are actually functioning the last night could see the Giddrian price obviously has juice and he's a way better runner than Georgia Lonnie. It's a team that I think is going to win a lot of games, even on the defense alone, even if Darnal's hurt. And I think he's a good player. Like that's enough for me to be like, I don't want to overreact to that. I'd be looking to buy more than sell if that was the question. Same, same.

10:34We have a ton of super chats in here already. Just a reminder that super chats in the first 20 minutes are the only way to 100% guarantee your question will be answered. I just want to kind of reiterate that as always, we are going to try to answer absolutely as many questions as possible. That is the goal. But there's just frankly too many to get through in an hour. So super chats that come in early will be prioritized. Just kind of the way we have to do it. Question here from James trade offer and PPR Hampton flowers and Watson for scataboo, a lave, QJ and Bowers. Would you accept I also have cook more mayor and Chigacacacuo. So again, receiving Hampton flowers and Christian Watson, giving away scataboo, Chris, a lave, Quentin Johnson and Bowers. Hampton side, not close. You're taking a hit at tight end once Bowers is back. Right. Cause he is mayor for now. But that's no question when that's actually going to be the Raiders. I will also state this. The Raiders putting out that he might miss one or two games feels extremely optimistic for Bowers right now. I strongly agree with you if Bowers is out for a while or at least limited for a while, even when it comes back at full strength.

11:41I would be more nervous about this because you're not getting a tight end in return. But yes, I generally agree with you given the uncertainty with Bowers. I am on board with this one. Scroll down your mission. Okay. Next question here. DJ Moore or Quentin Allen or Baker. Oh, sorry. These are two different questions. DJ Moore or Pentin Johnson. Oh, this is a killing us case of ceiling and floor, depending on your matchup. I think DJ Moore is the target, the higher floor of the two guys. If you're going Yolo ceiling, then it's QJ in the matchup for me. Houston defense has shut down Josh Allen. Pretty good. The last two times the last two years. His challenge. I would always for QB ratings in any individual game. Two of them in the last three years of this last three came against Houston. Of his lowest QB ratings in any game. And like I know DJ Moore wasn't on those teams. But I think this use some defense is even better than it was last two years. So that's scary to me. And then what Alan or Baker, obviously, Allen going up against that same Houston one. I don't know how you get away from it. I can't say Josh Allen. I get Sinsi.

12:43I know you like your deep. It's better this year. I get it. I mean, I get it. And I and I understand this. I feel like we're getting too cute like by sitting Josh Allen because while I'm expressing concerns about DJ Moore, I think the X factor in that that game to produce is Dalton arcade. Regardless of what Josh Allen does or does not do through the air. We know he could still get it down with his legs. And if he's going to be running away from the Texans pass rush, he's going to get rushing yards. I'll still play Josh Allen, but I'm going QJ on the other side of it. Question here from James Chigakako or Shultz for the three or four weeks without for hours. Shultz just for the target volume. Other one I don't love with either guy. I really like. I don't like it anymore. So I don't like Shultz week one versus Buffalo. They've been elite versus tight ends for a number of season. Do you think I'll continue with Jim Leonard? I do. I mean, I think some of us personnel and we'll see. I mean, maybe it doesn't, but based off of what we know, what we don't know right now,

13:45I still don't feel great about Dalton Shultz. Question here from rock PPR 10 team league have drawn as tight end. Who should I drop for Terrence Ferguson as a tight end stash? Al Jir Mike Washington Jr. Jonah Coleman, Debo or lemon Al Jir. You don't think that the early workload with Jimmy Jeremiah love. I just I'm not that of the idea. That's not a bad time. It's on a bad team. The title of our year love is just jumped a shark. Like we're quoting like depth charts prior to week one is the whole reason of being pro Tyler Al Jir. He wasn't good on a per touch basis. He's just a touchdown dependent flex. Do we see Arizona scoring a crap ton of touchdowns? No, no, no, no. I'll drop it out. Tower of Algier. I'd rather take a flyer on Terrence Ferguson. For me, it was either Algier or Debo. You like Debo better than Algier? I like Debo better than Algier. I mean, Debo was a wider see for three last year. I think you could definitely do that going back to the 49ers, especially Mike Evans. Can't stay healthy all season.

14:45For the next question, a quick note on polymarket football is back folks. And it's time to level up your approach to the NFL and college football this season. Because polymarket is here.

Copenhagen saluting American grit proven since 1822. Warning, this product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes. Okay, chicken nugget fans. I've got huge news. The new Burger King chicken nuggets just dropped and they are the crispiest, the juiciest and the tastiest chicken nuggets ever at Burger King. Burger King heard that a lot of you didn't like the old chicken nuggets. So they got to work and reinvented them to go along with the new chicken nuggets. A lot of the sauces were reinvented too because better chicken nuggets deserve better sauces. We're talking new buffalo sauce, honey mustard, sweet and sour, and even a whole new option to the new special savory sauce, which is only available for a limited time at participating U.S. restaurants.

16:53I mean, you need to taste it all for yourself. This new chicken nugget reinvented based on real feedback is made with 100% white meat chicken and is now better than ever.

17:55Now, the question here from James, Jenty and London or Bucky and London for my cook and DJ more. Jenty and London or Bucky and London. I'd rather have cooking more. I think than either. I want to cook it. I want to cook it more. I think the difference between cook and Jenty with injury and certainty and Bucky in general is not an option. Already downgraded too much for me there. And especially with London's quarterback situation. Yeah. Maybe with field definitely. I was like, oh, Pennix is healthy. I'll see. Maybe if we feel differently, I can't get there though. I feel like the discrepancy between cook and Bucky and Jenty is wider than the discrepancy between London and DJ more. Yeah. So cook and DJ more side for me from Lagry. Another question here. What up? Debro, no PPR tight end Kyle pits or Terrence Ferguson. Oh, it's pits. I mean, this is. Yeah. I love having Ferguson on your roster. I'm very excited about him. Same rate, great tight end stash this week. But, but if anybody were to say we have been, we are from the future. We already know that the Rams ran out for four different tight ends.

18:58Everybody had between a 25 to 30% route share. Would you be that surprised and week one? No, no, he's a stash. He's not at a start week one type of guy. Yeah, fully agree. We did get a super chat from the beast. It looks like there was no question actually dropped in there. So if you want to drop that in later, don't want to make you pay again. But we'll happily circle back to that one. Go to question here from Dylan thoughts on picking up Chris Bell in place of Jacoby Myers. Sort of an upside swing there. It's an upside swing. And I'm totally down with it. Like Chris Bell, like the stuff coming out of Miami is no snap count and stuff. So he's being given the runway to be Miami's wide receiver one. If Malik Willis is actually good, I think there's a pretty good chance that he is. Yeah, I'll take the wide receiver one for the Miami Dolphins over the wide receiver three four on some weeks for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sure. From Logan, Kittle or Hawkinson in week one. Logan, bro. I, I, I, I can't.

19:58Okay. I'm going to throw this to the side on this Logan. Drop Hawkinson and pick up Kate Otton. I would rather play freaking Kate Otton over either one of these guys or Greg Dolsich. Britain Strange. If he's out there, my man does it. I don't think it might be available. I like that one. Any one of these guys, I do not want to play either one of them Logan. Now if you're in a dynasty league and you got to make this choice, I'll go with George Kittle. I have no faith or I would go. I can't say honestly, not that I think about it. I just like Kittle, such a quick recovery from the like the injury. I can't like week one against what should be really good defense. Like I, I, I want to give him a week here. I would rather bank on a Kittle touchdown. Then, then, then it's very Murray having to access the middle of the field. Because I'm not, I'm not paving the whole. I'm going to see the lineworm. No, nobody clip this and say that I was here fighting the good fight for TG. I know. I know. Let, let the records show you are not pro. Calamari and we are both not so next question here started AJ Brown.

20:59May need points at flex full PPR Mike Evans, Chris Godwin or Jalen Warren. They start to advice was Warren, but I may need more. What do you think? Chris, Chris Godwin. I would go. Godwin in on Godwin this week. I would, my order of preference here would be Godwin, then Warren, then Evans, actually. Because I, I think like seeers running game up so much interested in because I think they're going to win by La and also the Falcons like the one part of their team that's still pretty good as the past defense. I think the secondary looks strong, but Godwin is ahead of Warren for me. So I agree with you. Yeah. Next question here start to in my flex Tutan Brooks, Wondale, cocker, Terrence Ferguson and Jalen McMillan. Also traded away Lloyd for Wondale, Terrence Ferguson and Parsons and an IDP league. How did I do? I think you did. Oh, I don't like the Lloyd trade because all of those are lottery ticket type of guys like Parsons. Wendy's you come back. What does he look like when he comes back if Terrence Ferguson doesn't hit me? To be fair, Lloyd's a bit of a lottery ticket as well. Well, fair. But the upside is Josh Jacobs.

22:01When do we see him? I mean, he played, he played no contest. He's still in the exemplest. So, you know, Lloyd could be an RB two for the entire of the season. I would have wanted a little bit. Now, I think in an IDP league, obviously Parsons and if Ferguson hits with puts you over. So I say it's a wash considering what we know and what we don't know. It I think it's equal trade. The two for the flex. I think I go to Tudan in Wondale. I think Wondale could get a lot of targets this week. I think I go to Tudan and cocker. I like cocker with no collar Gordon for the bears. That's very defensive. Terrific. I can't argue with that. I think this could quietly be a good Bryce Young game and good Lord. That's probably not going to be one of the LB res going to Tudan cocker. So definitely Tudan, regardless. And they know pick between. I just don't know what John of the Brooks's workload is going to be coming into this with a glance. You that's all. I yeah, I want to see it. PPR Jordan Mason or Brian Thomas Jr. Mason, not close. Mason E. Z. R. Oh, yeah. I wrote this up in the primer.

23:02The eight games were Tyson Campbell and Dinsle award were on the field for the Browns last year. Warm bottom three in in yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity allowed to perimeter wider severs. Brian Thomas Jr. is going to work tough day. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's fair. Just a reminder for everybody, we are past the 20 minute marks. So remember, we cannot 100% guarantee your question will be answered from here. Please keep sending them in. We will get through as many as possible while always prioritizing your super chats. But just given the volume of questions that come in, we cannot guarantee 100% from this point on. Again, we'll get to as many as possible and we will prioritize the super chats. As well, next question here, start Mike Evans versus the Rams or Josh Downs against Baltimore. Evan, it's not close. I can't, I'm not running Josh Downs out there in any league. It's Evan. I really think the Ravens defense is going to be good very quickly with Jesse Menter. And I think the Ravens win and I think the under hits in that game. I think it's going to be a nastier game. I also like what is Daniel Jones look like first came back on the field? Like like to this is Evans.

24:03Please. There are a whole lot of yesterday year Daniel Jones vibes pushing that total to where it is. I, I, I, I am on board with you all the way around in that game. Another question here from James, pick two Flex, burden, Parker Washington, coca adunesate or Godwin. It is full PPR. Parker Washington is definitely in. If anybody wants to know why go check the primer. I love Parker Washington this week about the oververse receptions at plus money over on betting pros, follow me on the app at Debrou or excuse me, betting pros.com slash Debrou and the second one is tough here, man. Like you got two Chicago metal James. You in full Chicago with this, bro. Like God, Lee, I, I think I go Godwin is my gut reaction. I'm going to go Godwin because I feel the best about his role. I feel like I don't know what to expect out of burden in a dunes. I, there's no one I think everything about Godwin is the safest. Like we, we, we, we, we get feeling out of Godwin this week. I go, I go watch Godwin.

25:03If you force me to pick one of the others, I think I'd go with Dune's day, but I, I would go. I think I'd go burden if I had to pick a Chicago bear, which metal James, you might be forced to play a Chicago bear considering your lineage. So I get it. Next question here. PPR start to flex. Zay Parker, Terry McClure and Mike Evans, would you also try to trade kind of walker for Hampton, also FCMC, JCM and Dowdell and receivers, receivers, our CD and Waddle. So a lot there. So quick, let's do the start decision first. PPR start to in the flex. Zayf Flowers, Parker Washington, Terry McClure and Mike Evans, Zayn Parker, he's agreed. Also, it's a separate question. Would you trade walker for Hampton? I feel like it's a lateral move. Like if you want to make this move because you love Hampton more than you like Walker, this year, fine, but I don't feel like you're gaining or losing a whole lot. I haven't been this is pretty similarly rest to see. It feels like I really love Hampton. You treat you bought it. You got Hampton. You drafted him. So I want Hampton and you like Walker. So let's exchange. And if that's how it goes down, fine. I'm not I'm not projecting either one of these guys for that much different.

26:05Yeah. You like one guy above the other? Fine. Go get him. I'm with you there. Question here for Mr. Ruthless, Trevor Lawrence, Bucky Irving, B. John Robinson, Zayf Flowers, Quentin Johnson, Devon T. Smith, Tyler Warren, George Pickens, Ramsey, Fence Tyler, Luke K. She's a three Romeo dobs, Najia Harris, she she she she he there. Quenty Taylor. We're just giving me the sweet two up peddix. That I didn't get a stack with Tila. Oh, they're actually out of even see question. Is there a question here, Ruthless? So we miss and this is a reasonable suit to chance. I don't want to ignore it. But are we doing things with the roster here? I mean, producer behind the scenes. If you see a follow up question from him, please let me know where it is so we can make sure to answer it. Maybe just ask him. Good. Yeah. I mean, I like it. I love this team. The team is really freaking good. If you're just asking us to say what what what what do we think of this roster? I like it. I mean, B. John obviously elite running back. Some good options at receiver. Like why do you see for one would be where I think you could improve. Obviously, I have been a little more down on Z flowers and some of the other people here. But like very good tight end, very good running back, very good quarterback, I think like obviously great defense in the Ram.

27:08So yeah, I think really good outside of me. I think so found the follow. Okay, there we go. Oh, here we go. Okay, cool. Should I trade away Trevor Lawrence for either DAC or Lamar? If so, who can I use to trade with? So like who could he add maybe Trevor to to get a guy like Lamar? Um, yeah, if we can go back to the full team, then I can get I can put together a trade for you. Um, I agree with I hate Trevor Lawrence's schedule, man. I hate it up until about week 10. I just do not like it at all. I think the easier to out of those to get is obviously DAC. Um, because anybody that paid up for Lamar is not going to give him way and they're not going to give him a way cheap. Yeah, it would need to be something like Lawrence plus like, yeah, I don't even know who you would give up to pair to get Lamar. So what I would do with this is you give up the first offer I would send out is Trevor Lawrence and Romeo Dobbs. And you package that is, well, AJ Brown could be out for a bunch of weeks. Now you're getting the new on Patriots, why do you see for one? Yeah. Now maybe they laugh at your face and say, ah, that's not nearly enough. And then you go back to the drawing board, but that's that's where I would start with an offer.

28:13Yeah, I, uh, I think I think that's right. I agree through there. All right, let's go to another question here. Uh, choose one to flex Washington or Watson in full PPR. I say play both. Um, if I got to pick these weak one decisions made, you're like, Hey, I drafted all these good players. You recommended there's not a group. I know, I know, man. And then and then people, I've, I've had a few comments, people like in the primer, like, why didn't you write up like this wide receiver three or four pro? It's weak one. Like nobody's like, you know, we're all rolling out the best parts of our lineups and stuff. I'll go Watson. I've got to be my favorite. I think Jordan love has had both. I don't know. Well, Jordan love has had big games against the Brian Flores Vikings defense before, but his last two games against him have been poor. So maybe if you're just playing that trend as a tiebreaker, I mean, that's where I, that's where I'm trying to turn here because I I agree. Generally speaking, I would like to start both. The reason and I highlighted this in the primer that I'm high on Jordan love this week is we know that they're going to,

29:14that the Brian Flores is going to blitz the ever loving crap out of Jordan love. The reason I like him this week is because over the last two seasons, amongst 37 qualifying passers, love ranks seven than yards per attempt and EPA per dropback versus the blitz. So I think you can have a really good game. I'm so excited about Jordan love this season. I'm just like completely bought. I think he was undervalued all the cash. He just take up on the exempt. Let Jordan love cook. Please. There's always every year. There's a quarterback who goes in that like QB 14 to QB 20 range who's a mostly a passer who just has runs really hot on touchdowns and way out performs even if he's not giving you a ton of rushing. I think that's Jordan love this year. I'm old. My Lord. We might get Cooper Rush under center for the Falcons this week. Oh, two of us got like banged up today, right? I saw that. Oh, God. I'd rather see Jack Strand. Jack Strand season. We need it. All the Falcons assets and fantasy needed. Jack Strand. Not Cooper Rush. Geez. Let's get to a happier note here. Mark Ramelite and DK Matt Kaffer, Deandre Swift and Trevor Lawrence.

30:16I'd much rather have the Swift and Lawrence side. I'll take this one as a Lawrence side. It's fun. I that would be my preference. I'm hoping that that is a super flex that you're making this trade and not a one-on-one. That's a good point. If it's one QB expose, it depends on who you're other quarterback. Yeah, it depends on who you're other quarterback. Straight up, I would take this one side. But super flex is not as close. I would take the one. Yeah, I agree. I'm probably close. Terrence Ferguson, Mark Andrews or Jake Ferguson? Mark Andrews, baby. This is for a week about a before. I'd be saying, assuming. Yes. Luanna Rimo Davances, provide the tight ends. We know this. Zayflowers versus Mark Andrews, touchdown bet with their team. You're going to come out leading as good lead one. I think it's going to start on strong. Now, it could be a push. Zayke getting the in zone, but I'm telling everybody right now, I think Mark Andrews scores a touchdown this week. I agree. I picked him as my touchdown call on the start-sitter. I guess, earlier today, I taped with Jake and Fitz. And it wasn't because I'm being a homer. Robert. I knew you were going to be. This one is weird. I was not being a homer. I knew you were going to be. I knew she was going to get over this.

31:16I knew you were going to get over this. I know. I know. From Robert, Pp.R. Christian Watson or Parker Washington Flex. Same question that we just had. Oh, she is, man. We split this one. I went with Parker Washington and Diverwood. He wants you to start fifth. He has flowers and higgins in the other spots. It's my favorite sons. I can't pick between them. I'll go for it. What is their ranking? In ECR. I don't actually know. Parker Washington, Y2C426. Christian Watson, Y2C424. It's very close to each other. I would go Washington, Diverwood would go Watson. I think it's very close to. And just for clarity, say, I do have... I have Christian Watson and Y2C418 and Parker Washington, Y2C420. Y2C420 is right there. Another question here is, Shuck over Daniels and Week 1 Crazy. Not at all. Not crazy. In fact, I would do, not crazy. I would do that. I would prefer. We start Shuck this week. In the course field of the NFL, as Erickson always calls it, Ford Field for the Lions. It banged up defense. It banged up secondary in particular. I think the Lions are going to score a lot.

32:16So Shuck will have to throw. Daniels first came back from the Achilles against again. What I think is going to be a really improved, not only defense in Baltimore, but specifically pass rush against the guy who might not have his level of mobility. Shuck easy for me. If you're out there in the betting markets, you can always entice me with a plus money over for passing touchdowns. Tyler Shuck is like plus one 20 to plus one 30 out there for one and a half over one and a half pass and touchdowns. I already bet the over on the betting pros app. One more super chat here. Couldn't start both watching and watching. I already have Waddle, say it brown. This was the earlier question on watching. I get it. I get it. Any thought of like one of those guys over Waddle? Or no, you just don't know. No, no. I'm wrong with Waddle. I mean, I agree. I just had to ask. I know, but it's tough, man. People, they follow it all the advice all summer. Now they drafted all these monster teams and they got problems, dude. So again, we don't have a consensus here. I say Washington, Divers has Watson. We both think it's extraordinarily close. They're like, go full two phase, flip a coin.

33:19Yeah, pretty much. All right, that's all the super chats for now. So let's scroll back and start getting some of these other questions in here. Again, we cannot guarantee any other questions getting answered, but we will get through as many as we can. And we will prioritize super chats as they come in. Before we get to the next question, though, if you want the chance to win a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet, then this is your shot. All you have to do is leave a review on either Apple podcasts or Spotify, then screenshot that review and email it to mailbag at fantasyproz.com. We will be announcing the winner right here on the show. So make sure to turn on those YouTube notifications or follow the podcast wherever you claim to listen to us. If you want to be wherever you listen to us, so you can know new episodes are up and to claim your prize. I was acclaims listened to us. Of course they're listening to us, D-Bro. But yeah, that's a Kyron Williams signed Rams mini helmet. Very cool. Give away their scroll back to the beginning here and start getting through. We'll go quickly through as many as we can. From Joseph, crazy to trade, AJ Brown for Christian Watson. Nope. Not crazy at all. Not crazy. Michael Sprayne's linger. They always do.

34:20We've seen it with C-D-Lam. We've seen it with C-D-Lam. They always linger. I do not think. Speaking of which, I got to go update my rest of season rankings after all this stuff. I don't know unless I've been doing this. I wouldn't give away AJ Brown for nothing, but a guy like Christian Watson that we really liked already. Yes, will he do that? But dropping him into live on the show right now, I'm dropping AJ Brown into the White receiver to territory right behind Christian Watson. So like in that DJ Moore and Mecca Buka kind of category. Another super chat in here. Rico Doudal or DJ Moore in half PPR. This is what happened. Half PPR. I'll go DJ Moore. Just but I feel better about the volume of DJ Moore when we don't have a clue. Like could this be Rico Doudal when he scores a touchdown? Sure. Could it also be Javila Moore and then he gets the touchdown? Absolutely. I'll go DJ Moore. I'll go DJ Moore. Do you know how many carries the Steelers are going to have in this game against me? A Cooper Rush led Falcons offense. It's in Pittsburgh that front seven against either two of if he's back or or Cooper Rush.

35:22They're going to run the crap out of the ball. I hate the fact that you're making me reconsider my answer live on this show. I like DJ Moore. I'm going to go with you. I'm going to go with you. But games. I'm going to go with you. Uncle Rico you twist to my arm. I agree with you. It is an excellent question because I love to get more in question. Cooper Rush of this. The Cooper Rush of this does like the situation in Atlanta. I agree with you. I think that's how I have to go that direction. I don't agree. But I don't like it either. But I agree with you. Question here from Kelly. Skat of UDK. Quentin Johnson or Jordan Mason in my flex. We don't know if this is PPR or not. The floor play is DK. The ceiling play is QJ depending on your matchup. Go whichever direction. Makes you feel good. What do you think about Skat of UDK? I'm going to have to really talk to that one for a week one. I just don't know about his workload. Man, I don't think the giants and the harball of this like Skat of U as much as the fantasy consortium like Skat of U. Like I think people could see more nausea-eris than their think they signed up for. But you tell me if I'm wrong.

36:23You're the Greg Roman whisperer of this show. Worm. I don't want to be. I know. I mean, nobody asked if you wanted it. You were born into this. You were bained into this. I've had to see non-Greg Roman years until you were a man. Yes. I can't stop that. It's a great comp. I figured you would enjoy that. I really want to see what the Cowboys defense looks like honestly before. I'm like super excited about Oh, based bad defense last year. Go start Skat. I'm really curious what that defense is going to look like. I also think the Cowboys are just going to win like pretty solidly. In which case, I don't know. I mean, Skat of U can catch passes. What would that actually look like in this all? What would it look like? Yeah, I think I'm with you on this one. All right, let's go to the next question here. From Sean, full PPR, 12 team Flex, McCloren or Warren. I'll go with Terry just for the target volume. I know it's a horrible matchup. I get it all. Like this is just betting on talent. I have no clue what the world was going to look like for Jalen Warren this week.

37:26Yeah, even though I like the sealers to run a lot, that could go to a doubtful, right? We don't know. So McCloren, it angles jump out to a big lead. Washington's going to be forced to throw their freaking balls. By the way, fours are going to win big. I do. Which will mean a lot of throwing. So yeah, no, I'm with you there. Another question here. Jackson Dart or Trevor Lawrence full PPR. Back I love you. I don't know if that's question. She law catching his own passes. I mean, we shall see. They're close. I think I'll go to you law with this. I would. It's close. Go Trevor. It's not. I'm thinking through it more. Yeah, I'll go to Rose. I'm just like not a dark guy. I know you like Dart more than I do. I like Dart a lot. But again, we have to see the Matt Nagy of all of this. Yeah, I go Lawrence for me. Question from Christopher Jane Daniels or Tyler Schuck in 16 team full PPR. Again, I'm going to go Tyler Schuck. Over because obviously those guys are drafted very far apart.

38:28I know. So you are immediately switching up the rankings in season. Not just the student, but like I just really worry about what this is going to be. We just said that the commanders might have to throw a lot to keep up with the man. So you're going Jane Daniels. I'm not saying that. I know that's good. So you're going to. Like devil's ad I play worms advocate. I'm going to go tower Schuck and I know it's probably going to bite me, but I just worry by now. Let's make shift all sorts of wine. You know what? Here's what I'll say. Oh, if I wasn't a coward, I would say Schuck with my chest because I am a coward. I'm not saying you with my chest or burnt. Chest I guess I was what I'm doing. But I mean, it's a great question. It's a type of question that I love and we don't want because there are always these start sit decisions where you drafted a stud. Yep. And then you drafted somebody else that you like as an upside guy. And then we get to the season very, very clear. Uh-huh. I tend to say start your studs, right? Don't don't pay to the matchup unless it's truly on the extreme.

39:28I think this might be on the extreme. I think you guys are going to dominate the line of scrimmage in this game. And I don't know what you and you also going to do to that point. I got a crap ton of drink may questions yesterday. And I was like, okay, start him. Is everybody happy that she started Drake May last night? I think probably not. Like so is crazy as it sounds to play in Schuck over Jane Daniels. If he has a Drake May as performance, it's not just like, oh, it's a pretty good matchup for Schuck. I think this is as good a matchup as you can get. High total point high total. I mean, at Ford field, I think they're going to be trailing. Like I really like and I would wrap like I like a Lave. And John Johnson more than I like Schuck. If that makes sense, I like a mall. But yeah, this matchup potential. So again, I know why this over one and a half past the spread for this Philly washing the game isn't a touchdown. And maybe I'm an idiot. Maybe I'm a sap who's going to be proven wrong. I think Philly is going to dominate this game.

40:30And I think Philly is going to have. I don't understand. Like Philly at home and we're only they're only getting five and a half. I both both Pennsylvania teams at home. I don't understand why the line is a bigger. Yeah, I feel about it. I think I think the Eagles are going to cover that. So there might there might too. I do a picks pool where you pick five games and two of them. You kind of like double up his bonus. Like these are worth more. Those are my two games this week are the two home Pennsylvania teams. Yeah, I could be a sucker, but that's that's all I like it. From Rob, half PPR, John Johnson or mayor lost powers. I'll go John Johnson. We're playing the total here. I was going to say I'm going to want even though we like mayor without powers. I have a joint better in this particular week for sure. I mean, bro, one of them's got a 50 total. He's going to be the number two target in this offense. It's a big game. A high high score. We think big total game. One's got a 50 total and the lions are are getting seven points. And mayor's going to play. But he wasn't practicing as the one this summer, right?

41:30Like there's an element of working in back. Like I do like both, but I would prefer to one. Well, the other side of this is like, could you just, I mean, see the Raiders are just implode to I think that's possible. And I don't like the offense defense, but I agree. Another one here from Quincy, two receivers, two flex, Zay Higgins, Parker Washington bird and Christian Watson, Kenneth Walker, Rico Dato, Jordan Mason and Taj A spears. All right. So. All right. So two wide receivers were playing Zay were playing T. So then two flex. It's basically, I mean, Walker Washington, Christian Watson and Kenneth Walker. I mean, Kenneth Walker is playing in one of those. So then it goes down to Washington and Washington and Watson. I'll go Watson again. Again, like I feel like, Disha, we've been here before. Worm. This is the question of the episode. I can't imagine. I'm so curious when we get what I'm on Sunday's live stream. Sunday morning with Alfredo. So everybody needs to tune into that on YouTube and what have you and stuff.

42:31Do the shameless plug here. But I'm so curious after this stream, how many Parker Washington versus Christian Watson questions, we get on Sunday, dude. You better be prepared with a more convicted answer after this. Apparently, I mean, my answers start both, but everybody's got the teams or two guys. It may go up on our Twitter account. A poll. Who we are starting this week. This is going to be one of the most asked questions this week. I truly think so. Yeah. All right. Question here from Luke. Bro's UK fan here. Awesome. Shout out to Luke. Pawn. We love Tom Stracken on our shows a lot from K as well. Would you start Christian Watson? Butterfly. He's got a team. He's got some others. A Christian Watson Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason at Flex, have Josh Allen and Herbert at QB, Henry and Skat of U at Running Back, and Adams and a Lava at Receiver. It's a two QB standard 10 team league. So this is standard scoring. Christian Watson Parker Washington, Quentin Johnson, or Jordan Mason in the Flex.

43:31Christian Watson. Like he is just. Would you consider putting Washington in ahead of like Devonte Adams like to make a room at Receiver or no? No. I think Adams has a really good game. So okay. It's close though. That's you're going to watch. What's the. I'll say the same thing. Yeah, like we all this burns me. But we all this burns. And it's definitely one of those two not Jordan Mason and standard or Quentin Johnson. No, because I think you look at that. All these guys are good plays. This is a very strong. Exactly. Like this is like damn if you do, damn if you don't. This is one of those kind of situations where Sunday night you're like, I wish I would have done this. And if you'd have done that, then maybe it works out different. And you're like, still, I wish I'd done this. So. Yeah. One last reminder for everybody that we cannot guarantee any answers to questions that come in from this point on. We will power through absolutely as many as we can as I keep promising. But we cannot promise anything from here on just because we we only have an hour for the show. And we get so many questions. They're wonderful questions. We really appreciate them. But we can only get to so many.

44:32Another super chat here from Vinnie. I have H&N Hall, Stevenson, Merritt, and Amin Ross St. Brown, N. Tech, Godwin, Wandael as well. Don't see a question here. This might be just asking. Oh, this was from earlier the trade that Vinnie asked about. When he was asked about H&N Hall for Gibbs, I believe that did come. Oh, oh, god, it got it. Considering you're running back room, no, I'm staying with H&N Hall. Yeah. Like Gibbs and Stevenson isn't terrible, but like that is. It's not great. No depth there anymore. It's not great. It's not great. Yeah. I think that's reasonable to get away. I think in a vacuum, I still prefer Gibbs to those two. But given the makeup of the roster, I agree. Now, if you could maybe first trade like. Could you do H&N and Godwin? I was going to say, if you could get a receiver in there or maybe if you could say, oh, let me just trade Godwin for like, Bucky Irving or somebody. Like, I don't know who would make sense. Like H&N and Ted or H&N and Godwin and try to get a receiver back in there

45:34that I would still do it. But I can't do it as is with the city running back. No, I agree. Yeah. Too thin. Okay, another super chat here. I give James Cook and Aminra. It's a lot. We would receive Kunt and Johnson Blake, Korn and Christian McCaffrey. Hell no. But by the way, before I got to CMC, I was like, what world? And then I saw the CMC. I keep people, keep our 10 men. Ali, I. I will know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, Google, Sky Dett is agreeing with us. Yeah, that's too much. There's a world where Korn and Johnston are awesome this year. But you are projecting that to hopefully happen. We know Cook and Aminra are awesome. Yeah, kind of like me like Christmas is great. But he was going like three spots ahead of James I know I was like also get another first rounder. I can't do it. That is that is wet. That is like projecting CMC is like the overall 101 pick of like being like Jameer Gibbs. It needs to be one of those years where CMC was the only player that mattered. Like, yeah, I mean, it could happen. But

46:37it could be, but that's also said, like James Cook is a top five running back as well. So like, no, there's no way I'm even at trade. Hell no. Yeah. Nice comment here from Max Heybrews, made championship in four of seven leagues and won it all in two of the four. Has he has been my go to for several years now? Thanks for all the tips ready for your 18. We are ready for our not year 18 here at fantasy pros, but whatever your this is for each of us, very excited to be here again and helping out. So hopefully we can get you back to a couple of those and hey, maybe you can win a championship in all four leagues this year, Max. That's the goal. That's always shooting for the stars here. Question from Steven. Should I pick up and stash Bigsby or Wix? I have Barkley. I like Wix better in a vacuum, but does the fact that he's Barkley changed it for you? No, I doesn't. I would rather do Wix. I mean, as early as you drafted Barkley anyway, like you're betting on him being healthy, like we're in week one. Like this is kind of like a mid season. Like, when we get to us, Fitz always calls it like hand cuffing and stuff in season, then then you flip it to Wix from to tank. Yeah. All right. Let's jump around. No super chats in here right now. So

47:38we'll see how many questions we can get answered. Let's see if there's one where it's not one we've already gotten to. How about a defensive one? Raven's defense or the Rams? Rams don't go on Rams. I think the 49ers gonna have a tough time. I really do. I think I agree. I'll go Rams too. I think I think it's close. You were weighing it so hard of how hard you wanted to home. I can't feel it in that side. I just really think Jesse Mentor is like one of the five best defensive minds in football. Is is Mattible is Mattible. Okay, gonna play this way. It's not clear. Yeah, at least as far as I've seen it is not okay. That's that practice. Yeah, but if it's not new, if we knew he was gonna play a baby that shifts this, but I think it's the Rams because I'm with you. I think it's kind of like 50 50 plays or he doesn't play this week. So another question from Derek start. Corm or Al Jir. Corm. Corm. I'm obviously would have to decide tonight. I like Corm. I agree. I agree. This week already bet the over and his rushing arts. I agree. Question from Chris start Ferguson or dulcich at tight animals.

48:40CPR. Dullsich baby. I know he's getting routes. It's a good matchup. I have no clue what Ferguson's role. Again, just how you frame this earlier worm. Ferguson is a wonderful stash. There's lots of upside. Is there any way shapeform or fashion? I'm rolling him out in a lineup and week one. I am not allowing Terri's Ferguson to sit on the waiver wire in any league I am in, but that does not mean I am starting him in week one. Should I start Kittle or Andrews? God be Andrews. I think Andrews. Yeah. Andrews. Sure. How about Waddle or Quentin Johnston in a standard league? Waddle. Yeah, it's going to be Waddle for you. All right. How about we already answered that one. How about flowers or Waddle or Jalen Warren in the flex? There's really kind of that a flowers or Waddle. I think I would go Waddle. I'll take Waddle. I think I would go Waddle too. It's between Waddle and flowers. Jalen Warren signing in the conversation for me. Yeah, I agreed. The goat. Should I start Matthew Stafford today or Caleb Williams this weekend against the Panthers?

49:41I'd start Stafford. Stafford's pretty good against the Niners. I'm really excited to say I'm really excited about you two in the Ben Johnson offense for Caleb Williams. I know you've always been a bit of a Caleb Williams hater. DeRoe Stafford against the Niners has been pretty good. I prefer to think of myself as a Caleb Williams realist. I feel like people tell themselves of a lot of lies with Caleb Williams. But on the pro Stafford side, I'll just read off the stat lines that he had versus the 49ers in two games last year. 389 passing arts, three passing scores, 25.6 fantasy points, 280 and four passing scores, 26.9 fantasy points. I feel like pretty good stat lines weren't pretty good. Are you worried at all about the travel stuff in terms of this game tonight? No, because I feel like what's going to happen with that regardless. However, this game plays out, this is going to be the hindsight bias of all time of yesterday. It's where it's like, which ever team wins, everybody's going to come out and be like,

50:41yeah, you know what, you see that's exactly what they should have done. They should have not flown into the last second. Other team wins. See, this is what they should have done. They should have flown in like two weeks prior and been there and set up shopping, gotten condos. I mean, come on, you know how that's going to, you know, that's going to play out. Nobody has a real conviction, but they're all play armchair quarterback after it happens. It'd be like, we knew. See, they knew you are 100% correct. Let's go to question here from Paul. Excuse me, howdy 12 man PPR, anyone you would trade Tyler Warren, Jaylen Warren, Waddle, Nico Collins, Tutan Jonathan Brooks, Brian Thomas, Jr. Michael Wilson, anybody you'd be looking to trade here, Debra, I know you're going to say Brian Thomas Jr., if you can get anything, if you can get anything, if you could package Brian Thomas Jr. with like, I'm intrigued by trading Michael Wilson. He was not the number one target. Go find the Michael Wilson believer in your is one in every league. And there might be a Brian Thomas Jr. believer. Exactly. They put it in the same person. I was guessing. Yeah, the same person. And you're like, hey,

51:44you want Michael Wilson? How about some Brian Thomas Jr.? I actually believe it. Come on. I think you could make a very compelling case to trade away any of Tutan Brooks, Thomas, or Wilson. Agreed. I think any of those last four names, I'm pretty open to the idea of trading them. Obviously, it depends what you get back. But I think that there's a world where a month from now, we look back and say September 10th was the high point of value for all four of those guys. Like as soon as the game started being played, it went down. I could see that happening. Michael Wilson and Brian Thomas Jr. or Chris Goblin. Chris Goblin for me. Okay. Michael Wilson and Brian Thomas Jr. or Roma Dune say, oh, Rome. I'm not scared off by the foot. I've been all in on Rome this summer. Rome. Same thing or Quentin Johnston. It's hard to go. This is more of a projection. I definitely feel like the upside is really high for Johnston. But that's harder to say, like, to me, that feels like you should probably be able to do maybe not quite a one for one, but closer to that and not need to package both would be my guess based on just where they're

52:47ranked right now. What about Brian Thomas Jr. or Michael Wilson for J. Mo. I think I want J. Mo. I would want J. Mo to say there's going to be possible. Yeah. We're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the 30s and I don't know about my skis. Those feel like possible trades, right? Well, I mean, we're talking about two receivers who are ranked in the mid 30s and draft season. Yeah. For a lot of receivers, you just threw out there were ranked in like the mid 20s. Yeah. That feels like on paper, it's doable. Maybe you've run into people who aren't that interested in them. But I'd look at people who any managers in your league who need some depth at receiver and say, Hey, I'm not asking for a star. Give me, you know, a guy like a Dune say you might be number two or DJ more. I'd take DJ more. Yeah. Maybe you would take any of those guys and here's the thing. Maybe you take Brian Thomas Jr. and Michael Wilson, you pack a trim together. DJ Moore has a down game versus the Texans this week and you go try to get DJ more effort down week. That's a good point to you don't have to make the trade this week. No, you don't have to let week one let let week one play out possibly and then you go see who is the by low. Another question here. Bro's JSN for Walker and a lavet. Jason for pickings and brown

53:54two options here. I have Javante Warren Dobbins, Waddle, Christian Watson and Godwin. So Jason for Walker and a lavet or JSN for pickings and brown. I would do either if I'm given the choice, I'm taking the pickings one, but I would do either which which one do I prefer is actually a really good question. Here's the thing. Get this done ASAP because as soon as the Darnal news drops, when it drops, you're not getting this trade done. Seems like a little positive about possibly they got good news on Darnals. Well, they got good news that he didn't have a hip fracture. Yeah. He possibly having a laboral tear is still could be has that he is out for the season. Oh, man, I'm actually really torn on the guy I know. I think I might prefer Walker and a lavet to pick it's a bra. But it's like I totally but again, it's inside. I think either one of these is a win. I would do either one of these in a heartbeat. Yeah, totally fair to be on the other side of that one. All right. Ian Thomas or Darren Waller after losing a bowler. Yeah. Guitin league.

55:00So you want to get it right? Losing the hours in a guitin league is tough. Waller. That's brutal. But I don't feel good about either. Yeah. All right. How about a stripling or pitman in PPR? And yes, I use the tools because I have MVP membership. Let's go. Danny love to hear it. Stribbling. I don't know. I don't like Michael Pittman this week. I really take the upside case and just the unknown of stripling then then rolling out Michael Pittman. From Scott 16 team PPR Flexpot digs or wicks. Obviously digs with a really tough matchup. But it is the better player. Yeah, I think you. Wicks is another guy I'd like to have on my team. I'm not really starting him week one. No, same. How confident are we in Tucker craft for week one? That is confident as you can be for a guy that's probably going to play 60% of the snaps. Probably have like somewhere around a 60 to 70% rapper drop rate dropback rate.

56:03I don't love Tucker craft this week. But again, you got to do is get me in. He can definitely do that to be a tight in one this week. So PPR Warren or Mason. Jalen Warren to be like, I'm going Jalen Warren based off the matchup and everything we've already I got I think the Steelers just roll this week, man. I'm a rush girl. Yeah. I need to tight end until Bower's gets back. Should I pick up Chicago Terrence Ferguson or Greg Dullsich? I would we've been talking about you how you don't need to start pick up right away. But I'll go for an end, Dullsich. Yeah, if you can see what I would be asking Ferguson for sure. Dullsich for this week, I would pick up both of them in the case that Brock Bower's is out much longer than the Raiders would like to blow smoke and tell people. Yeah. Tonight's game, Stribbling or Kittle? Stribbling. I just I don't it's a horrible matchup for Kittle. I don't know what his route here looks like. No clue. Yeah. I have to drop one of these three who would recommend Lloyd Corum or Bill. For me, it's Bill. For me, it's Corum. I can't drop Corum.

57:08I get it. I understand. I understand. I understand. Like how Corum's a top five running back. If I understand that, but if Bill could easily just be the starting running back for the commanders from the word go. So I can't drop a possible starter for a handcuff. I wouldn't want to drop that either three. I don't want to drop any of the three, but if I got to drop any of them, I'm dropping the handcuff guy. Full PPR Brooks or Wondale Robinson. Full PPR or Gowondale. I just don't know what Jonathan Brooks's workload looks like. I think full PPR Wondale is actually really sneaky start this week. So I can see it. I can see it. How about Kittle or Kelsey? I'm not really talking to you about Kelsey. Kelsey. I don't think, Debra, where are you? I had on Kelsey for the season. I think he's going to be a low in Titan one. I think he's not going to be amazing. I think he's going to get a lot of target volume. And we're just rolling back the Chief's offense. Like Kelsey was not bad on a per route basis last year. He just didn't get the touchdowns. If he gets the touchdowns this year, he's got top five to seven upside. But I just, I think it's just comes back to target volume. Yeah. I mean, Kelsey for this week. How about two defenses with

58:09awesome matchups, Eagles defense or Jacksonville? I think both are going to do very well. Shannon, I'm going to go Eagles. I feel like Jacksonville. I feel like most people would say Jackson will just because like Cleveland is going to be the auto star. I just, I'm going to start thinking about Cleveland is could they just like could Deshaun Watson look that got awful. And then they say fine, we're going to try to hide him and just give carriers to Quinch on Judgans. And then you're not getting the turn over. She got a score point. She got to get sacks. She got to get turnovers to get fantasy points. We are going to get dropbacks from J Daniels behind that offensive line. We're going to get it. Great call. You convinced me. I go Eagles. Half of your bench one Watson, Gainwell, Marvin Harrison, Jr. Definitely not Watson. So who are you mentioned between Gainwell and Marvin Harrison, Jr. Marv? I like Gainwell a ton this week. I wonder I feel like the Cardinals might have to throw a ton this week to keep up with the chargers. They might, but who is your true wide receiver one? Oh, wait, it's Tramie pride. Yeah. Yeah, it's very, I mean, obviously, you're definitely not benching Watson. So it's

59:14between the others. I think it's reasonable to go the direction you went. We got like two minutes left here. So we'll get through as many as possible. Choose two of three. Waddle Higgins Wilson. First two. DK or downs? DK, not close. Bench downs. Everywhere you got him. Don't play him this week. Jackson Dart or Jaden Daniels. Dart. Kenneth Walker or David Montgomery and PPR. K. Dub. But the answers really both. Brian Thomas Jr. or Carnell Tate and full PPR. Tate, not close. I'm not playing Brian Thomas Jr. anywhere. Tudent or Lloyd and standard Lloyd. This comes. Who do you think gets the red zone workworm Lloyd or Tudent this week? Lloyd. Well, if it's health, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. He gets the red zone work. PPR Flex, Jonathan Brooks or Trade Tucker. Okay. This is the Brooks line. Go on Brooks. I will not play Trade Tucker. I do not

1:00:14have any faith at all in Trade Tucker. None. How about Tudent or Evans in the Flex? I'll play Evans. I have a lot of concern and I just don't know what Tunes are all going to be. It's not a great match up for him either. Parker Washington or Marcian Lloyd. Chase. My favorite. It's Washington. I know you like Lloyd. I like. No, but you're right. It's Washington. It's Washington. We got to have a limit somewhere on the. I like Lloyd. Washington. Actually, another question here is same one. Start with PPR Adunzay, DJ Moore Jordan Mason. I don't know what the role of Dunezay news is going to be like between now and Sunday. I'll go ahead and tell you DJ Moore. I don't feel really great about any of these guys just because the Rome foot stuff. If we get good injury updates on Adunzay, he is a good injury update than it's Rome that I will say that. But right now in the dark on a Thursday, I don't know what that's going to look like for the rest of the week. Trevor Lawrence or Jared Goff. Goff. Not close. Agreed. Mike Evans or Christian Watson Watson. Not close.

1:01:16Agreed. Let's see. We've used any more in the last few seconds here. Michael Mayer or Dalton Schultz. Mayer. Flex spot full PPR pitman or Pollard. Pollard. Goff, Purdy or Mayfield. It's four point per passing touchdown. Goff. Play the total, baby. Watson, bird and Tate or Mason for Flex. It's full PPR. Watson. Watson. Yeah. Chuba or Lloyd full PPR. Lloyd. Not close. All right. Let's do two more and get out of here. Very answered that one. Reed Pitman or Marvin Harrison Jr. in full PPR. This is the Marvline. I'm going Marviv Marvin here. All right. One more. Let's see if I can find a player we haven't really talked about. So not Christopher Watson and not Parker Washington. Yeah. How about love or Hubbard? Jeremiah love. Jeremiah love. Even with the ankle stuff. Yep. You're going with that. All right.

1:02:18I believe in Hubbard. We will go ahead and wrap things up there. Sorry, we couldn't get to literally every question. Obviously, we get so many of these here, which is awesome. Another discord. Be to get all these questions. We really appreciate it. DeRos is very active on Discord. Go to his AMH channel. He will happily answer any and all questions that you have for him. Oh, we did get one more Super Chat. We'll get to that too. To be nice for that one. Christian Watson, Skatibu, Quentin Johnson, Pick One Watson, Watson. Let's go. Quentin. You're unanimous. I get that dog this week, baby. Yeah. I think you see or say if you have any other question, we didn't get to a I'm on social media. I don't do as much on the discord as DeRos, but he's very active there. We also, as you can see a comment here from Sal behind the scenes. You can join us on Twitch. Matt Moody will be answering more questions tonight. That's at 530 Eastern. Really appreciate everybody hanging out with us today. Again, all the great questions. We will be back at the same time.

Honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about HIV, but there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep, prep stands for pre-exposure prophylaxis, and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs, though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices.
