That's why DeWalt tests its tools under real-world conditions that push even the best tools to their limit. Only then does a tool earn the DeWalt badge. So when the pressure is high and the work needs to get done, DeWalt tools are built to perform, built to last, and built to finish strong. DeWalt guaranteed tough, available at the Home Depot.

And Liz Lose, my name is Daniel Dobby.

1:02I'm excited to be here on a Tuesday. Liz, how you doing? I am great. Thank you for reminding me what day it is. We'll come a little bit disconvulated. Yeah, we had a long weekend. A lot of football going on. I wasn't here yesterday. I still appreciate you guys being able to do the show without me. Thank you for holding everything down, especially because you had to work with Mike. I know that's so difficult, guys. Honestly, we survived. You did. I was, sorry, I was looking, I was staring at my watch because I pressed a button and all of a sudden my watch stopped. Oh no. I figured out what I pressed, but I think I fixed it. Okay, good. I'm glad that that makes me feel better. Okay, by the way, I didn't see you yesterday. I wanted to say this. Shout out to you for Sunday. You looked so good on fantasy, focus, countdown field. I realized that what you look like when you dress down is what I aspire to look like when I dress up. That's when we hit our equilibrium. Like ours combined. Like you look so good on Sunday, not in a suit for the first time hosting the show. You look good in a suit as well. I'm just saying. I thought you looked nice. I don't know what do you need something. No, no, no, I just wanted to tell you that. Thank you for that. I wanted to make Mike feel awkward as the only person wearing a suit in my defense.

2:08I did tell Mike in advance. Like I felt like after last week when a lot of the crew was dressing down and you and I were dressed in suits that maybe we were the oddballs. So I thought we could meet in the middle. Yeah, Mike was like you did a great job. No, no, he said he goes field. You can't hide money. That's the. Let me keep dressing my dressing up. What have we got on today's show? Today we're going to recap that Monday night football game. Unfortunately, dive into a couple of waiver targets. And then we also have some biggest risers and followers after the first two weeks. Well, dive into a number of names that have been definitely on the move. But let's start with a little bit of news first and most importantly Caleb Williams. Guys, avoid it a major hamstring injury expected to be week to week. Quote unquote is what we hear from this situation. Don't know if that's one week. Don't know if that's three weeks. Yeah, awesome clarity. Don't know what that means there. But what it does mean to us in fantasy is that if you have Caleb Williams, one, you need to make a plan. You need to go out and find another quarterback. Curious? Have you guys started to think about how this is going to impact your Chicago Bears rankings across the board knowing that you will probably get Tyson Baygent under sentencing?

3:13Yeah, I mean, how much lower could these guys go? That's a great question. This is a double-edged sword, right? So on the one hand, Caleb Williams, Tyson Baygent is a legitimate downgrade, significant down. He's a serviceable backup quarterback. But we thought Caleb Williams was heading towards potential superstar to me. He looked like one certainly in week one. Yeah. But Caleb Williams was a superstar in week one without any of his notable contributors doing a thing for fantasy amongst the past catchers. Right? So we have the fact that these guys are just generally downgraded as a group. And the fact that Caleb's not going to be out there, you're going to be hard pressed to convince me that Roma Dunesay and Luther Burton, yes, belonging lineups in week three in a tough matchup. Yes, they're playing at home. Hopefully it won't be raining like it was on Sunday. But against the Eagles, you want a piece of that? That's certainly not an offense that I want a whole lot of right now, assuming Caleb Williams misses week three. Luther, Colston, Love and will still be a top tenish tight end for me just because tight end position.

4:15Right. But the two wide receivers passing for week three. I'm with you. I think that's very accurate. I also think we have to take into account that Badge and doesn't have Caleb Williams arm. So I think that hurts Roma Dunesay much more than it does Luther Burton who can create after space. Baygent's a decent mover, but there's going to be a lot of like middle of the field throws, which I think does. And I say this with a giant eye roll, salvage Colston, Loveland's potential floor. Yeah. Let's hope we can get there. Sounds like Deandra Swift will get a lot of work as well, just because he's the one thing that keeps working right now in this bear's offense. Yeah, kind of interesting. The Ben Johnson did not rule Caleb Williams out yet for Monday, but the signs certainly suggest this could be at least a one week absence for the Bears. Guys, we had the internet just sort of took over here with a lot of Caleb Williams stuff. We figured we'd rifle through a couple of them just because it really did light the world on fire. Nice. Make me feel so welcome. Oh, this one was just up to my neck funny. That one got me. That one's not too bad. Him. Him definitely. That's a tough one.

5:18Next one. Yeah, me accepting a diet Pepsi if they don't serve diet coke. I mean, I can resonate. That one feels. Yeah. Is that different? A diet coke of fish, Leonardo. Oh, yeah. That's different for you. Yes. Yes. Okay. And it depends if it's fountain, but that's a whole other thing. Me after googling my symptoms, fine. I only have a few more days to live. Yes, that happens. I don't Google my symptoms on the internet anymore because they all tell me that I am in major trouble. Oh, I thought there should be a little more phone. There's nothing you can do. You shouldn't eat carbs or protein or grains. It's all the fat. That's kind of Lego this morning. It's my favorite to be honest. As I was going to say, it's a dad. This is the one that I can relate to. I feel bad here. I don't know. I know. God. This is a. Yeah, this was a big one. Me out in a lie. I'm comfortable couch in the hospital after my wife gives birth. Yeah. You know what? Thanks. By my third child, my wife, depending on what time the day the baby is born, my influence is a little bit. But our third, she was like, just a heads up. You are not sleeping. Go away. Go home. I was like, go home. She was like, just go home. Like she was like, what? We have two kids at home already.

6:18You need to go back and help someone's got to do them. Someone's got to do them. And like, you're going to be, you're going to wake up tomorrow morning with, you know, a sore neck and frustration after our child was born hours before. So I do concede that for, you know, whatever it was, six hours the night that our third baby was born, I was at home to help care for our two other children. And my wife, she, she definitely understood the assignment because those couches, no matter how hard they try, not comfortable. Yeah, you had a way worse field definite. Yeah. Correct. That's the point of the meat here, Liz. Exactly. I am. Yeah. Thank you. All right. Let's keep on talking football. The fantasy gods have finally smiled upon us. We get news. Michael Panics, Jr. Supposed to be the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcon. Thank God. I mean, yes. And they play on Thursday nights. We'll get this, this view of Michael Panics, Jr. very soon. Another week of patience is what we have to say, right? Like you have to still, yeah. That's it. You're allowed to have some optimism. But I do think it's wild. We're like, oh, thank God, Michael Panics. I know. That's where we're at. That's where we're at. That's where we're at.

7:18That's a interesting barometer of the situation. They haven't made it to the red zone in two games. That's so bad. We all know. Like, there are other inept offenses around the NFL. But like they score like a touchdown or two a game. The Falcon's don't even get to the red zone. That's how bad they have been. And meanwhile, the irony, her cousins has six touchdowns over two weeks. Yes. Cousins has been very functional for the Vader for the Raiders so far. Panics can spin the theme like that much is for sure. And Drake London, you may recall during the three starts that Michael Panics Jr. had at the end of his rookie season. Drake London had 39 targets and was balling out with Michael Panics Jr. I just think he is a way more talented quarterback than Cooper Rush. Agreed. He gives his offense some upside. How much upside will see? But it gives it some upside and they literally had no upside with Cooper Rush. I understand this was not a decision the Falcons made because they thought that Cooper Rush gave him a better chance to win. This is a medical situation, but thank God we have reached the point where Michael Panics Jr. feels comfortable enough to play on Thursday night.

8:18Agreed. I'm excited to see him. He too. It doesn't seem like the Falcons are fully committed to Panics as being their guy of the future. This is the eighth overall pick in the draft three years ago. Like Panics does have a gigantic arm. He was throwing it all over the yard in college. He's had moments where he is throwing it all over the yard in the NFL. Accuracy has been a problem to the first two seasons of his career, but he's not afraid to push the football down the field. He's not afraid to take some risks in general. I'm excited about what this is going to look like. That's what I want when you've got Kyle Pitt and Drake London. Two big guys that you can push the ball down the field and take some risks with. Pitt does what I'm hoping. I know. I know. Don't give me started. All right. Let's talk about the Vikings. Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol. I actually don't know what to think of this yet because we didn't see enough of Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson in week one before he got hurt really. Yeah. And then week two with all cars and went. It's like that was just a deluge of rain. That was a weather game. I don't even know what to think about it. So we're going to week three and the question still stands. I don't really know what Justin Jefferson and Kyler Murray are going to look like. Is this an upgrade over Carson wins?

9:19Is it not? I don't know. I don't think we all any of us do. And I also think by the way, we're allowed to say we don't know instead of pretending like we have some some remember that character on P.W.s playhouse. I'm like telling my millennials right now. Yes. We're open and be like, honey, honey, ho. Yes. Like we're not that guy. Mechel like a high. Mechel. I have no idea. I do. No. No. No. How's it feel to have chemistry with apps? Never mind. No. What a call back to FFC. You didn't get that. Oh, yes. Thank you. Sorry. Anyway, we don't know. And we're allowed not to know. But we are. I don't think anyone's starting Kyler Murray. No. Well, maybe you think so. Quarterback injuries. I don't think. Yeah. I think it's possible. I think they're well. So what this news to me was less about what it means for Justin Jefferson and more about what it means for a team potentially looking for a quarterback this week alone. Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Jackson Dart, which we'll discuss in a few moments, all went down. Right. So there's a world in which you're in a 12 team league.

10:19And Kyler Murray was maybe your week one starting quarterback or he became your week two backup quarterback. And you might need him now. So I think there's a world in which Kyler has started in some leagues. And that's a huge start throw of faith, right? To be starting Kyler. I have to go like. I know. But one later that is a very compelling option off of waivers right now, but given the fact that three of the top 12 quarterbacks in fantasy, if we're going to, if those guys were all healthy, I think that Jayden and Caleb and Jackson Dart are probably all top 12 ish options for us this week. The fact that 25% of them are not available most likely because of health. Not great. Yeah. This kind of Murray news moves to needle for me. I do think he's going to be somewhere in the 12 to 15 range for my week through rankings. Is this bucks defense, Gary knew? No, Sean was just completed 80% of his passes against them. Yeah. Yeah. Many people's first serious relationship didn't start with a kiss. It started with a kickoff or perhaps it was love at first hike.

11:20But unfortunately, many of these football lovers don't live in the same city as their team, which is why Marriott Bonvoy has hotels close to nearly every NFL stadium, bringing fans closer to the teams they love with over 30 different hotel brands. So if you want to stay closer to your team, check in for Game Day with Marriott Bonvoy, the official sponsor of the NFL. We'll see you there. Every Game Day starts before the lights go up. Before the snap, before the roar, something's already at work. Cleaner, quieter, energy, production. Running where the game lives. Strong enough for fourth and goal, smart enough for what comes next, powering Game Day, powering the fans and powering the communities that show up every Saturday. The same energy that runs your stadium, runs the schools and the hospital in your neighborhood. That is performance powered by blue energy, powering Game Days, powering communities. Every day is better with donuts, but who wants that sugar crash?

12:21Five-hour energy has two bakery classics with none of the guilt. You might want the raspberry flavor of a jelly donut five-hour energy shot. Or maybe the rich and silky vanilla combo of the Boston Cream donut five-hour energy shot. Either way, you're getting the guilty pleasure of a bakery with none of the guilt. New jelly donut and Boston Cream donut five-hour energy shots available at fivehourenergy.com and on Amazon. Dallas Goddard gonna miss a few weeks with an MCL sprain. The rookie that they have there also on Ion fortunately, Elias Starers. Yep. So not gonna be anything there. We'll continue to monitor that. And then do you think Zach Erts is gonna be anything? Maybe Zach Erts was a panelist. He was doing like a day a week on Peter Schrager's show. Yes, I saw him. Like that was his job as of a week ago. And now he's gonna be back with the Philadelphia Eagles. So it's obviously a very cool story from Avery Union's standpoint. They play on Monday night. It sounds like he's got a real shot to play on Monday night. Does Zach Erts?

13:22We always joke about how bad the depth is at tight end. But even I'm not sure that Zach Erts on Monday night in his first week back with Philadelphia in a new offense, which that's been definitely a common theme. It's gonna crack my top 10 what Titan rankings. I think he is a speculative ad. Maybe if you have Dallas Goddard, you think you can get a one for one replacement. Don't have a lot of great options to give you if you have Dallas Goddard. But Zach Erts not gonna crack my top 12 Titans in week three. Alex Pearce is gonna be out several weeks unfortunately with a heel injury guys. Listen, I were talking about this really quickly before the show. And it's just this doesn't feel like a lot of upside in this passing game right now with Daniel Jones. Tyler Warren feels like you hope that he hits his floor at the tight end spot. But no one else really has stepped up to be someone in this receiving board. Well, Josh Downs did get a theoretical promotion in terms of not just being tied to the sluggish going to move around the formation. So there's an opportunity for more volume. Obviously when we talk about the targets vacated by Michael Pittman's departure and also in terms

14:23of deployment. There isn't a real field stretching presence here on the Colts offense, which just sort of caps the entire ceiling of its potential explosiveness. And frankly, while I think obviously Jonathan Taylor's volume remains super steady, his efficiency probably not gonna be that good. It's just a very boring offense. Yeah, it doesn't feel like we're not gonna get back to you. Seven. Very boring offense on top of the fact that you know, like Daniel Jones we thought can be on the QB two radar. Daniel Jones has I think 14 rushing yards or two games. Not a gigantic surprise that is rushing is down coming off of a Killy's tear late last season. But Daniel Jones right now is nowhere near the fantasy radar. We thought maybe he could be on that fantasy radar as a good value at QB. Little bit of Chris Godwin being resigned by Tampa vibes right now for me. With Alec Pierce, remember Godwin gets this huge deal to stay with the Buccaneers coming off of the massive. I think it was an ankle broken ankle two seasons ago. I think the at the time the reporting was the Patriots were hot on the trail of Chris

15:26Godwin. They ended up with Stefan Diggs. Alec Pierce got a bag right four years, $112 million. Maybe the most surprising contract of free agency. And people are like, wow, that guy really. And he was gonna have a red hot market if he reached the open market. He also was hurt. And like surgery got was was delayed. It was like a late surgery for Alec Pierce. And I don't know exactly whether this injury suffered on Sunday night is directly tied to what he dealt with this off season. But he did not look himself in week one. He was playing a part time role. So I think is at least logical to wonder whether these two things could be tied. Hopefully he is back at mid season as the report suggested. But you know, Pierce was one of those guys that had theoretical upside based off where he was being drafted. Now it feels like dropable. Yeah, it doesn't feel great if you have to. If it's going to be half of the season with what we've seen already and you need to use your IR spot and someone else, I would understand feeling like you need to pivot from that situation. Fortunately. All right.

16:27Let's talk about Monday night football recap, my friends. There was some good and some bad in this one. Unfortunately, let's start at the beginning. Pukin' Okua didn't even play before we even get into the game. Pukin' Ruled out. Hopefully you had that pivot that we talked about heading into Sunday. Excuse me, Monday night football field this hip injury. How are you worried about this potentially lingering into? I don't have a lot of information. I don't know if you guys have heard anything different. The only thing that I'll note right now as far as Pukas concerned is they play again Sunday night this week. So you're going to have to make a decision. It's useful when you're player that you're trying to make a decision on playing the same kind of thing. Yeah. Because then you have so many ways in which you could go. Pukin' you're going to have to potentially have an insurance plan once again going into Sunday night. The indication has been it's not something major. He was a pre-game decision last night. But yeah, not great. Not have your number one overall pick or you're going to have to be a top five pick in your draft last night. But it did create a lot of opportunities for a certain throwback wide receiver. Oh, yes it did. Yes it did.

17:28Would you want to do that now? Like, how do you want to do this? I just want to call out and give props to Tyler Fuljum who on FFC Fantasy Football Countdown on Sunday. And mention the fact that if Pukin were to sit the last time he did Devonte Adam scored three touchdowns in week seven of 2025, fell one short. Yeah. Yes, but he was amazing. He was 39 and a half fans of people. Dust one, I mean my goodness. Let's just talk about the range really quickly. Fantasy football countdown. Fantasy football countdown what I call it. You said fantasy football countdown. Fantasy football countdown. I did. I said fantasy football countdown. No, you said fantasy football countdown. It is fantasy football countdown. I said FFC y'all. Yes, you got everything right. You got everything right. It's like countdown not now. We're getting better. A literary is our friend. Money in the jar. It's okay. We'll start with the Rams. And just talk about them really quickly, and then we'll pivot over here. But for the Rams side of the ball, Matthew Stafford rebounded in a major way. Devonte, Adam's literally is being drug tested right now for the fountain of youth soon. He looked like he was 24 years old out there. We're certain. Last night was to me more important than what we saw last season from Devonte, Adam's in

18:29the sense that Devonte Adam's last year. and you still get the fantasy points, right? It's not how it's how many you get. Yep. But it was unsustainable for Devon Tei Adams to have all of these one-yard touchdowns. I mean, he was flying down the field last night. He had the 64-yard catch from Matthew Stafford, just ridiculous plays where he's catching the football, like both over and around defensive backs, eight for 195 and two touchdowns. Yeah. So that's what, like 20, almost 25 yards per catch for Devon Tei Adams. It was a vintage performance. He clearly still has gas left in the tank. He didn't show it much in week one. And maybe when Puka is around, you're just going to not going to see that much volume from Devon Tei. But this hip injury for Puka, we don't know that much more about it. So if he's out in week three against the Denver Broncos, a tough matchup, but you can certainly have more confidence based on what you saw from Devon Tei last night. Absolutely. Being able to see him stand up without Puka makes me feel really good if Puka is out. Also, if you had to make a pivot, hopefully your pivot with Puka in the Puka

19:30and the Flex spot was Terrence Ferguson. Oh man, it's like, this is why the game is so weak to me. Right is the guy has a bagel in Australia week one, Mike Clay's favorite late round target at Tide-N Terrence Ferguson. And then last night he has nine targets. Good for six catches, 54 yards in a touchdown, 17.4 fantasy points, Tide-N-8 for the week. No question. Early that was all he looks the part. There's two ways about that. Very athletic player, huge guy, great in the red zone potentially. Terrence Ferguson, that was a really encouraging sign. He's a hard guy to rank going into week three when you've got a dud and a start-um week. It's hard to say like, wow, this guy deserves to be on one side or the other of the coin, but he has my attention. Well, he has my attention as well, but also can we be sure that things won't shift because in week one it was Colby Parkinson who was running more routes and seeing more looks. So is this a Sean McVey wild scientist situation on a week to week basis? We can't be sure, but I do think that you're right.

20:32He absolutely Terrence Ferguson does need to have attention. We kind of know what Colby Parkinson is. Anywhere there's obviously more receiving upside available in Ferguson. There's definitely going to be another Tide-N that has 17 fantasy points for the Rams next week. Oh, how do you do these two go? Yes, yes. Davis Allen is by nominee. Running backs, Kyron Williams looked fantastic, found the end zone twice. Is a receiver in both cases? Yes. Great. Blake Corum looked really good as a runner. It didn't do as much for us in fantasy football, but it's clear that these two have command of this backfield. Kyron Williams though looking great. Sorry. One time is a receiving touchdown last night for Kyron Williams. But yes, he is the guy in the backfield. Blake Corum is going to play a real role. If the Rams can kind of get back on track like they were last night, this team is going to have a lot of opportunity to bludgeon you on the ground. There are. Corum though remains a guy that's elite, elite insurance policy running back. No stand alone value right now. Yep. All right. For the giants, unfortunately, the big storyline here is a couple big story lines. Jackson Dart unfortunately goes down.

21:33Gets hurt halfway through this game. It kind of gets like sandwiched in between two defenders. James and Winston comes. James Winston comes in. Hi, that's a problem. We do not know yet about what's going to happen with Jackson Dart. Again, just like we said with the other two guys, you should make plans to be without Jackson Dart this week, just to be safe. It's a reported sprained MCL for Jackson Dart. He wanted to come back into the game last night, probably like young, brazen confidence from the 22, 23 year old quarterback. I think you could expect him to miss time this week. I just thought he was emboldened by that old miss win personally. It could be. Yes. Jackson, of course, a proud old Miss grad. But sounds like he is going to miss some time, Will Jackson Dart. The giants play the Titans in week three. So a good matchup. James Winston is better than what he showed last night. Agreed. He's got a lot. He was 11 for 27. But yeah, you're going to see a downgrade in the two pass catchers that matter in this offense, Malik neighbors and also Isaiah likely, if Jamer, not if with Jamie starting the

22:33upcoming week, the Malik neighbors also left this game and had a shoulder thing that looked up ended up coming back. But that was a scary moment because we weren't really sure what he was dealing with. I, yeah, he said, he said, it popped out and it popped back in. As somebody that's had a pop out, it's just going to say that every once in a while, that stuff happens. Like I think for the rest of my life, my shoulder will just be like a little bit compromise and I'll have these moments of soreness. So not a total shock that Malik neighbors had that he had one catch for one yard last night, though, not totally all the way there yet. Certainly a week with Jamest Winston getting all the reps he probably will get will help this passing offense. It feels like the guy that you have the most confidence in relative to where his position stands is Isaiah likely. Yes. He had 10 targets last night, not a big game for him. But just that like Malik neighbors, the floor is lower, right? You saw it last night, one catch for one yard. If Isaiah like is going to get the kind of target cherry scene in back to back weeks, even if he doesn't have a monster night like he didn't have last night, 8.3 fantasy points,

23:35you have to start him. You have to because you're chasing volume at the tight end position. Yeah. Right. That's totally. This is one of those, especially given this situation, if there was one backup quarterback in the NFL from a fantasy perspective that we could say, hey, who do I want to be the quarterback of this squad? It would be Jamest Winston, honestly, because you know that he's not afraid to sling it. I don't have to start, Jamest. I don't care if he throws three interceptions. It's not. I want all the other stuff. Exactly. Everyone else's. Yeah. So we'll continue to monitor both of these, both with Malik Willis and we just mentioned that Cam Skataboo also saw work in the receiving game up for all four of his targets. And this was a game in which Najee Harris made a start and Devon Singletary played and Cam Skataboo obviously still led the backfield. I didn't love what he did in terms of efficiency, but I think we can also attribute a lot of that to the change in quarterback and say pretty dicey start for two weeks for Cam Skataboo. I'm going to hopefully get a better. I'm pretty discouraged. You know, the volume not elite, the passing game workers a little bit better last night. But under 20 receiving yards in total, have some concerns.

24:38You know, Skataboo was seeing good volume last year, but also absolutely dominating on his touches. Hasn't been the case through two weeks. So kind of a slow start for Skataboo still in RB 2, but a guy that you hope finds a much more efficient path in weeks three and beyond.

Here we are in week three. We got a couple of priority ads at the quarterback spot. We got a, if you're watching the full screen, watching, excuse me, on the YouTube feed, NFL on ESPN YouTube channel. You can see full screen of the priority ads for a week three waiver targets. I'm going to start at the quarterback spot. Tyler Schuck is number one for me. QB6 in total fantasy points. He's second in the league in pass attempts. He leads the NFL in passing yards back to back weeks with 22 or more fantasy points. And he's also completed 69% of his passes. He's got a real rhythm and connection with Chris O'Lavet. They look dialed in with each other and Devon Valle to be on Valle Valle. I always get this one wrong. Valle. It is Valle. Mike says it's like Valle.

27:42Valle. Okay. Mike said delay with a V. Okay. Okay. Like Valle Mignon though. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Love it. That's what we're doing. What do you think Mike would ask for a full A Mignon well done? Probably. But you guys are so mean to. With A1. Can you butterfly my flame in your. So anyways, I love Tyler Schuck. I was in on him all off season. And the way he started has been fantastic. By the way against the Lions who we knew they were going to have to throw a lot. We knew GameScript was going to be that. But for him to do this against the Ravens, even though that rushing touchdown was a little bit suspect, still love that he got to where he did. The big question I have for him this week or eventually is like at some point they're not going to be down like 17 to nothing in a game. You think. Right. Yes. For their purposes. And that to me is where the rubber kind of meets the road for Tyler Schuck. Is he a guy that can play sort of like with the correct and appropriate GameScript and still be a top 10 or 12 quarterback?

28:42Or does his team need to be bad enough where it this is better than Blake board like it's better quarterback play than Blake Bortles by far. And the team is better than where the Jaguars were during that Blake Bortling era. But what you liked about Blake Bortles wasn't what you saw in the first 30 minutes of the game. It was the circumstances that drove you to greatness in the second 30 minutes of the game. You were like pay sort of like Jacobi percent last year. Patience is a virtue. You're going to eventually get there. Yeah. And they draw Vegas who they host the Raiders. I believe. Okay. And then I mean, they've they've shut down Justin Herbert and Malik Willis. So I don't really know what to think there. And then Atlanta on Monday night football over the next two weeks. That Atlanta game. If they get up, that could be one of those games. I mean, both of them honestly could be games where he's been. I mean, I think field point is that he's been a second half savior. So what happens if he's just consistent? Yeah. We'll find out. What do you guys think happened to the NFL schedule maker like late April, early May? Great question. Like do we like off court injury? Maybe like play some was playing some golf and strained a calf.

29:42I know a guy that plays golf. Maybe like maybe like a neighbor's. I don't have a place golf. He does. Sometimes it's a big deal. Christian Watson. But yeah, like someone like egg his house. I wonder because the reason I asked that. Is that the Atlanta Falcons are about to play three straight games on national TV. Yeah. Why do we do that? Thursday night football and then Monday night football and then Sunday night football. Yeah. Well, somebody wanted to draft B. Jean Robinson ahead of mirror games. That was the plan. That's a tough one. But that could be fine. Like it looks fine in week one. We'll see. But like really three straight Falcons games on national TV. Really? You guys like that plan? No, but it's not my job. I'm not saying. Right. It's something happened to the person who made the schedule. I'm convinced like his house got egged or something. I don't know what it was, but three straight national TV games for the Falcons. This early in the season is a tough, tough Tyler needs to use his legs more. I'm just going to close out that conversation on Tyler Schuck. Tyler Schuck needs to use his legs more. If we can get him to run a little bit more and be like a little baby bonix from last

30:46year kind of a quarterback, then I think we would be in a better spot. But he's got that swagger. Do you see his tweet after the game? I did not. He's like this is part of why I love Tyler Schuck. Like he's got it in him posting a Lamar's favorite artist is Codec Black. In case you didn't know and that's who that's the song he used for the post there. So it was a little bit of a shot at Lamar Jackson. A bad for a 26 year old sophomore quarterback. Okay. I actually bet those guys were close and it wasn't a shot. I know people went to Louisville. Like I bet that is coincidence, but I respect the internet doing what it does. I think it's got to do the internet. It's undefeated. Another quarterback, Bryce Young, you be two and fantasy points six passing touchdowns leading the NFL second passing yards. This week draws the Cleveland Browns Cleveland Browns two different defensive situations. Week one, they got decimated by Trevor Lawrence. He threw four passing touchdowns again. Week two, they can make field pood and self on the field. It was awful. I'm not sure which one of those the delay of the game.

31:47I think that's what was the problem with that. That's why there was a delay. Exactly. They had to do the whole thing. So that one's not great. I don't, you know, we'll see which, which Browns defense shows up for Bryce Young, but he's been slinging it honestly for everything the first two weeks of the season. And he draws the Detroit Lions in week four. Yeah. I like the matchup for the next, for over the next five weeks. I like four of his matchups. Yep. So those are the two quarterbacks. If you had to look to replace any of the three that unfortunately went down this week, those would be our top two priority guys. Liz Jonah Coleman would be the running back for me. Replace JK Dobbins. So when he went down this one, RJ Harvey already was out with a hamstring injury, little more of a speculative target because we didn't see a lot from Jonah Coleman, but we're assuming if there is a role, he will be one of the guys filling it in this Denver Bronco backfield. I really liked him and field can attest to this more. To me, he reminded, he ran similarly or played similarly to David Montgomery as he was coming out of college. I think that that's a decent comp for him just to give people an idea of his skill set. Certainly kind of in between what RJ Harvey and JK Dobbins do. So a more complete, a more complete back, if you will, he was the RB 19 and fantasy points

32:51per touch, which doesn't sound that great until you realize he's only had 13 touches. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about Jonah Coleman, just with everything you saw for those of us that didn't see him in the like a lot as a player, really talented runner can certainly hand of the receiving role as well. JK Dobbins, the early reporting suggests he's got a shot to play in week three. And if JK Dobbins is out there, hard for me to imagine having Jonah Coleman or JK Dobbins for that matter inside my top 25 of running backs. But if Dobbins is unavailable and it's all of a sudden Jonah Coleman and Tyler Bade, certainly some value, definitely worth adding tonight, especially if you have a running back injury. And there have been a few of them. There have been a few of them. I would also say one more to throw a dart on Rashad white first half this week, nine touches. Same as JCM, both of them had nine touches while Jaden Daniels was out there. Rashad white 63 yards compared to just 26 for JCM much more explosive. They look better in the receiving game. And then once Jaden Daniels went down, you look at the second half. He was the only running back with any receiving game work.

33:52Rashad white ran 22 routes. JCM had four or 10 in routes run after two weeks. Yeah, it feels like if we're going to be in a spot where potentially again, the commanders are going to be a negative game script with Marcus Mario to that defense isn't super great, which is think they might be playing from behind. Could impact JCM Rashad white could be a receiving game guy to look at. Couple of wide receivers really quickly. Denzel Boston has looked really good through the first two weeks to for 59 and a touchdown a week one five for 99 five for 95 and a touchdown in week two had seven targets, which led the team. Yeah, kind of looks like the only guy that has a connection, you know, pseudo with Deshawn Watson during the preseason. We were talking about how Casey concepts the own was the one that we were excited about. Yeah. And now it feels like first two weeks of the season. It's kind of shifted over to the bigger Denzel Boston. Just again, as like the draft guy here, how do you feel about Denzel Boston with what you've seen from him the first two weeks and it felt probably over thought it there on Denzel Boston. The question mark on him was the speed while he's had too long touchdown for speed. Yes. It was not an issue in the first two weeks, but he's a super big smooth catches everything

34:54that comes his way wide receiver that can play in the slot as well. So there's some versatility there. Hit an amazing training camp. He was the talk of Brown's training camp. And then on top of that through the first two weeks, he's the only wide receiver that's not a part time player. Yes. And 93 plus percent of the snaps for his Casey concepts, he on's about two thirds of the snaps. Sherry Judy not far behind there as well. So he's on the field all the time, talented guy. And as Mike pointed out, Sean Watson played much better in week two, the next expectation. And Mike feels though, as though it wasn't that bad in week one, I wasn't as bullish on what he did in week one. But you know, there's at least some reason to believe in this matchup against Carolina on Sunday that just Sean can piece together another solid effort. Yeah. And this is going to be one of those season long things, I think more than just a quick week thing where if it's going to work right now with the Sean and we expect things potentially to maybe even unlock more under Shadoor Sanders in the future, there's just more for this unlocking of Denzel Boston. So I like him a lot now in this situation.

35:54I would add him for sure. Eddie Mitchell, I want to mention really quickly three for 16 week one only had three targets, but six for 63 on 12 targets in week two, taken on the Detroit Lions in week three. Yeah, I hear you. So this is more of a week three, add you're saying. I do not think that. I think that they think that Eddie Mitchell, I am more in on Mike and Geno Smith being a serviceable part of this offense. I think he's going to be the clear wide receiver to when you look at this 54 routes run for Garrett Wilson in the first two weeks, 55 routes run for Eddie Mitchell 14 targets for Garrett Wilson, 15 targets for Eddie Mitchell. I don't I'm not saying that he is going to be splitting this like I like we see with Garrett Wilson. I just think he's a bigger part of this offense. I'm a little less convinced here. I feel like we've seen this on just a couple too many occasions in this. I'll be at brief NFL career, but Eddie Mitchell's had some moments and we're like, oh, the guy who was supposed to go in the first round slid to the second round because of maturity concerns. Maybe he's about right at the piece it all together. I have to see it for a few more weeks in a row before I personally believe in Eddie Mitchell being a thing. Understood. You also didn't believe in the offense really coming into the season as it is. So that I understand that there'd be a lot of preparation with that.

36:56The ceiling is quite low. Yeah. This Jets offense. I think the ceiling is low, but the fact that there was a drum beat over the summer is evidence to me that there is something here. And everybody moves at their own velocity. Not everybody is in an immediate breakout. I mean, Michael Wilson is an example of that. So while different skill sets are a play here, I am more optimistic about Eddie Mitchell. But I was also more confident in the Jets being viable fantasy wise this season. Last one I have and probably the highest expectation from a short term perspective, Rashad Bateman, as long as they flowers is going to be out. Rashad Bateman will be the wide receiver one in Baltimore. We've seen that the problem is he's not going to be anything once a flower comes back. So he is important to your. I just want to say here, Rashad Bateman was on my bench in our fantasy focus show league, but I won my matchup anyway. Again, Ryan, one of our one of our PAs or AP's, whatever they're called. Anyway, I don't know. Important person. Right. I think we look at the box score and we're like, oh my gosh, Rashad Bateman, 22 fantasy

37:58points, whatever. He could be something. He also caused the interception at the end of the game because he under ran a route that Lamar threw. It did happen. So I think we need to take the whole context of the context of all of that into consideration while we're thinking about it. Because I mean, yes, everyone's allowed to make mistakes. But if you didn't convert in week one on your loan target and then in week two, you were serviceable, but you also caused a major upset or at least a really horrible point in the game which led to an upset can be attributed to your actions. I don't know if you're holding the same amount of grace. Seven for 88 and a touchdown. I just don't know who they would turn to. If not, Rashad Bateman, they're so thin at wide receiver and also Liz. Oh, what he just did. Oh my goodness. No, no, it's okay. You're allowed to do it. It's just, it's an amazing humble brag right there about you. Why? I had Rashad Bateman on my bench in the fantasy focus. Oh, that part. But you're going to yell at me. The league in which we play, you know, we have, yeah, Liz who's now four know because we don't just do head to head.

39:00We do victory points as well. Not only are you four know, but you dropped, I was the second highest scoring team in the league in week one and you smoked me by like 40 points. You have scored like 350 points through two weeks. You are absolutely just dominating this league. So yeah, he was on your bench. It doesn't matter, Liz, you're absolutely destroying the rest of us. I didn't know that, you know. Okay. Well, I'm letting me know. I love to feel striking this. I'm just trying to win fantasy matchups every week. So Liz, yes, Liz, four know, you and Dave are producer are both four know through two weeks. You have scored 341 points. And I have scored the second most points at 312. So you're 30 points better than me. 15 points per week better through two weeks. So yeah, but because I played you in week one, Liz, I've also allowed 320 points by far the most in the league. Not that I'm mad about. Sounds like you're working your defense. I do. I, my team plays defense like the dolphins right now. So what a wonderful co-host because he just basically shamed me and also elevated. Yeah, but you want to pet us.

40:00No, your team's domini. Yeah, it's great. Last one really quickly, Dalton Schultz. I'm just going to say this. If there's no Nico Collins, Dalton Schultz again feels like you'd be a target monster. 14 targets in this one. 12 catches. I mean, it feels similar to if there's no Nico Collins, then Dalton Schultz could kind of be what Jake Ferguson was last year for the Cowboys without CD Lam, right? Like that's that kind of a vibe. But once Nico Collins comes back, I think a lot of that is. We're going to return to earth as we did on our Sunday segment with, oh, yeah, eight targets. I believe in week one with Nico Collins. I agree. I just think that offense from a passing game perspective is a, yeah. Well, the other thing in play for Houston here is just that the first two games have been a typically high passing volume because the defense has not found its form yet. Josh Allen and Joe Broke can do that to you. Yep. They played Dan Jones in the colds this weekend. If this game is much more in the 1710 range, might not, it probably means less good things for. Dalton Schultz. Those would be my priority ads and 10 team leagues, a quick look at some of our deeper league ads and just names to have on your radar as we go through these early weeks of

41:04the season. Emmanuel Wilson and tank Bixby as well, especially with what happened with Sequan Barkley getting that stinger. Just nice. Make sure you have his name on your radar. Tray Tucker, Keon Coleman and Jeremy Bernard. Jimmy Bernard looked nice because you can tell D.K. Meckhaff has zero chemistry with Aaron Rogers. But you're allowed to have the Steelers receivers on your roster. I will opt against. Yes, yes. I agree with that. It was because Michael Pittman Jr. was not on the field. That would be why. Also I've Ted Hurst, Don Tavy and Wix as well with Khalif Raymond, the best basketball in Chicago. Still on the way for why Khalif Raymond and Darren Waller doing the Undertaker Giff. Two touchdowns. Two touchdowns. It's crazy. Three for 33. We almost got a touchdown in one, too. It's called back due to penalty. So. Yep. Any names you guys good with that? That was a lot of names. Let's have in the mail bag here with our buddy Eric Moody. We follow him and social media at Eric and Moody. This one comes from Justin time. We love Justin. Gainwell worth a drop for someone like Emmanuel Wilson. I do believe we'll talk more about Kenneth Gainwell in a little bit.

42:04I agree. I will use this question as an opportunity to update people that Mike McDaniel was asked about Judari in price yesterday. Price had that chest injury. Let me make sure I get the appropriate quote before I give out bad info. I also just said Mike McDaniel and I met Mike McDonald. That's right. Of course, the excellent head coach for the Seattle Seahawks and Mike McDonald told yesterday I said yesterday on Seattle radio. It's not a chest issue for Judari in price. It's actually a shoulder issue. It's intact and nothing serious. It seems like. I was at a good thing or a bad thing when they clarify that it's intact. Well, I think that's the first question you're going to ask is a follow up. I think it's a shoulder injury. Is there structural damage? Separated or something? This could be like contusion, ruse, right versus mine, which had like basically fallen off of my body. It was not intact. Yes. Yes. That was bad. It was dumb. It was so stupid.

43:04And I'm still hurting today. They had a lot. I mean, this was a lot of garbage time for them as well down the stretch as a part of this because they were up so much too. They didn't need to throw the ball a lot. That could be the case for them, right? They're playing Marcus Marioda and the commanders is upcoming weekend. So I think that Mariett, Emmanuel Wilson, is a worthwhile ad at the cost of Kenneth Gainwell. If you are a thinnet running back and need something for this weekend. Okay. Now, if you're just trying to, if you're trying to stack who has the most value as a reserve level back, I will maintain that Kenneth Gainwell is still far more valuable than Emmanuel Wilson. Yeah. And with your pinch, though, I like it. I think the fact that it's, it's not serious. It's intact. Like that's all good, right? Just not saying that he's playing the subcoma weekend either. Also, it hasn't looked great through the first two weeks of the season. I've been disappointed with all of my Giddare and price shares. We're going to be doing risers and followers today and just a few moments. We could probably do like, I thought about doing this like you could almost do the top 50 players based off of ADP and do a stock watch for them because there are certainly

44:06some guys that have kind of held water, right? Like, Jumir Gibbs deservedly went first overall and most people's, you know, in Josh Allen's the first overall quarterback, understandably right? There've been some guys that have had a traumatic prize to serve. You've had a couple guys that have probably overachieved. We'll talk about them and some underachievers. Price would be a stock down one guy relative to ADP. Yeah. I'm with you on that. All right. Now, there are a couple questions here from our chat. Realiter Andrick wants to know, hey, who do I start at tight end? Do I ride with Dalton Schultz till Nico comes back? Or do I start third in Jawan? Jawan Johnson. Liz Smith, you got this one? I have been impressed with Jawan Johnson, frankly. And I think until Jordan Tyson returns and again, he will be a rookie coming off of these lingering handsering issues. So we're not quite sure what level he will begin at. Jawan Johnson remains serviceable. And if, as we talked about earlier, Tyler Schuck remains the second half savior and just starts throwing the ball out of nowhere and is super pass heavy in a way we don't expect the Texans to be once his field pointed out.

45:07The defense does find it's putting Johnson remains my preferred option. I'm going to go with Schultz if Nico is out otherwise to on Johnson. Yes. If Nico is out, I might, I think I would also default to Schultz. Otherwise I would go with Jawan Johnson. Okay. I'm sorry about that. That's okay. You're allowed to have also we didn't mention this. Not really news. Last year we did see a round against Gatson have like a few weeks of like serviceable fantasy value. There is no tight card of the collar and David and Joko are both. On IR so he is the only tight end right now. The problem is nothing about that offense feels good right now. So be cool if his offense could actually move the ball. Just a name we should mention it just in case they do start to catch fire that that is a guy's other side no Charlie Kohler's absence is probably worse for the rest of the offense and. Yeah. That's fair. All right. Another question here from our chat. This one comes from Cione wants to know. I want to believe in Coulson Loveland, but I'm losing games because of him. You think here in week three he is benchable.

46:09I would need to know who the other options are on your roster right now because while he is absolutely tumbling in terms of value. How many tight ends have risen up the ranks. Obviously if you snagged a Colts, excuse me, adults in Cade, lay in your drafts or on waivers, crank them up as they likely maybe as they likely other good one. There have been a few guys that have trended upwards. If it's like, yeah, I'm choosing between Colston Loveland and Hunter Henry or Cadeon like Holdserv there. I think so too. Especially with them having a backup quarterback, I could see just and I realized that he can play all of the roles and you know, as a field stretcher as well. I would like to see the tight end be like a really nice safety valve for Tyson Beijing here. So the other one I was thinking of who was the other tight end that did. Parents for Ergisen. No, not. No, not. No, not. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Somebody's going up. Yeah, I thought someone was going up going up and value. I don't know. That's a good question. Not many of them. No, not enough guys. Not enough.

47:10All right. Let's move ahead and talk about our biggest rises and followers. We'll take a few more questions at the end if we've got some time. But it's through two weeks. I mean, a little bit this is, are we panicking? Are we having some patients guys that have gone up and down in our rankings field? Let's start with you. Who's the biggest riser for you so far? Are we starting with followers? Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. We're starting with followers. To capture several players. And it's fitting after that last question. Oh. I answered Roma Dunesay. All right. So Rome was maybe drafted as first amongst the Bears, wide receivers. If not, he was very shortly after people took Luther Bird in the third. Yes. And I know that Luther Bird in the third was the trendier player this off season. It's worth noting that Roma Dunesay was picked ninth overall. Not far behind. Marvin Harris and junior Malik neighbors. Remember that class was heralded as like three camp miss wide receiver prospects. Yep. I don't feel differently about Rome as a player. Right now, I think he's still an absolute stud. But we just hope that this would be the ready for lift off year for the Chicago offense. And it was in week one when they scored 59 without Roman Dunesay without burden without

48:15Colston Lovelin. So through two games, Roman Dunesay has 14.5 fantasy points. One of the big question marks rounding a Dunesay coming into the year was how is that foot, which bothered him for much of last season after a red hot start? Seems like Rome is still a little bit banged up, but not enough that you'd expect seven catches for 75 yards through two weeks. So for a while, I thought that all of those bears would be line up blocks. I would say that Roman Dunesay, especially for week three, facing the Eagles with Tyson Beijing finds himself a decent amount outside my top 25 of wide receivers. I'm looking at this list of where Roman Dunesay was drafted. Cause we have like where ADP was David Montgomery, Basel Tutin, Jameson Williams, Jadarion Price, Kyle Pits, Roman Dunesay, all of them have been terrible. All of them have just been. Even Montgomery had the one game. Not great. But yeah, he was taken in the seventh round, late seventh round of your fantasy drafts just ahead of Luther Burton. There's what about you? For followers, mine is the aforementioned getting gain well.

49:19And it really hurts because I listen, when I'm wrong, I will admit I'm wrong and I was very much wrong on any game. Okay. I blame other things. I will I am very confused as to how I'm wrong because I don't know how you let a player like Rashad White who has a receiving skill set go and then you pay Kenny Gainwell coming off of a career season in that regard, but regardless, it doesn't matter because the truth is over two weeks, Gainwell has managed seven rushing attempts and five targets. For contacts, Baker Mayfield has two more carries than Gainwell and Bucky Irving has 15 more routes run. Get out. It kind of it goes back to a little bit of what I was discussing with the Saints back field yesterday. It's like if you plan to bring Travis H and board to be a gigantic part of a committee, like what's the point of paying him $12 million per year? Gainwell is not the same amount of money. It's two years, 14 million bucks. And maybe the bucks response would be we had so much ambiguity about Bucky Irving after

50:22last year that we felt like we had to protect ourselves. Sure. But still, like, wouldn't you bring Kenny Gainwell on with the idea of being at least your primary safety valve from Baker Mayfield? Well, and if you're complain about your RB one is that his running style consistently puts him in harm's way and you're trying to save him from himself in some ways and play your RB two more, right? Correct. I'm with it. It's very surprising because I thought I think you guys saw football right there. It sounds like you just figured it out. But don't you feel like at worst you could hang your hat on. Hey, Kenny Gainwell doesn't he's not fifth in RB catches like he was last year, but he's 13 through two weeks. You're like, you know, he's got seven carries, but he also has 14 targets. So get him up Kenny Gainwell. No, not the case at all. No, don't love that. My guy is running back. I've been complaining about for a while. I think you guys talked about him on the show yesterday. We did. Yeah. Devon H.N. The projection this week is very high for Devon H.N. Is it? Yeah.

51:2219 plus fantasy points. You think Mike's off in the forest doing drugs right now? No. I mean, definitely not. Definitely don't think that. Why would why on earth would he have Devon H.N. And then like and then like he well done steak Mike are you on Devon H.N. Yes, you are. Listen, Mike, I was a steakhouse mushrooms. What? What are we doing? 10.6 fantasy points in week one. 12.3 fantasy points in week two. All of last season his worst outing was 12.8 fantasy points. These two games were worse than every other game. He had all of last season. Crazy. Girl. So is he getting the volume? Yes. He is getting the volume. Check. Is he getting the game script? Yes. Absolutely. They were down 75% of the game in week one. They were down 81% of the game in week two. There is no efficiency. Even though we are getting some receiving game work, there's no creativity to get the ball in the hands of your best playmaker in space and let him do what he freaking does.

52:24So at this point, Devon H.N. Even though I don't like a skill set hasn't disappeared, they got to find better ways to manufacture touches for him. Period. End of story because even though you guys talked about it last week, he's still getting the receiving game work. I want him to have a little bit more when you're down 81% of the game. That's part of what you do. But still, Devon H.N. We got to figure this out. I see your frustration and may I validate it with a stat. Yes. Just so that I want to be there for you emotionally and I want you to know that you are not wrong. 6.5% of H.N. runs have gone for 10 or more yards. That is the RB 42 for long runs compared to last year when he was the RB 1 in breakaway runs. What do you do? And I'll tell you what, the answer is nothing. I drafted him where I drafted him. I can't trade him. I mean, his value is too low. I got to keep rolling him out there and hope that things turn around. And that's it. This is just the support group for Devon H.N. managers does feel like a few of the trendy bust candidates before the season have played

53:28out exactly as those who are concerned expected them to write as the offense is going to sock. There's not going to be nearly as much touchdown equity to Liz's point. Not going to have as many explosive runs. And it's like, yeah, they're too excessive case. If you're a pass catching running back, you want to be trailing by like seven to 10 or 14 points. The reason I say that is it's still kind of a game when you're only down seven or 10 or 14. But when you're down 28 or 35 to seven in the fourth quarter against San Francisco, one of two things is going to happen with the dolphins offense is on the field. One is they're going to try to throw the ball. 30 yards down the field to try to, you know, find a way to get back into that game in a hurry, which they did have a 77 yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter when they were playing the 49ers, third stringers. Two is Devon H.N. is going to be off the field because the game is so far out of hand. I didn't have a sideline. Right. I'm going to be a player Devon H.N. I totally agree with you, Daniel. I have them outside my top 12 for running backs in week three. And I think there's going to be a healthy debate with Mike when he is back on the show tomorrow.

54:31Yep. I'm with you on that. All right. Let's talk about some risers. Let's end on a positive note with this. Talk about guys moving up the rankings. Who do you like first? I mean, it's pretty obvious. There's only two tight ends this year that have been to tight end one in each of the first two weeks. Trimic pride. The. And Dalton can skate. Yeah. Been amazing. It's a very bad drafting tight ends for the rest of the season based off what we have seen so far. Titan one's going to be Trimic pride. Brock Bauer's I still believe we'll go tight into and justifiably. Yeah. Head and three is Dalton. Okay. He's been unlocked in this offense. He's actually playing a legitimate compliment of snaps. Josh Allen is ballin. Uh, Dalton can skate is a very talented guy guys like Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren. Warren less so than Loveland, obviously. Warren. There's just no, it's got to be touchdowns. Six for 21 of the touchdown. If for three for 13 to the touchdown, obviously those touchdowns count, but they're not going to happen every week. And if he's averaging four yards of catch, I mean, that, that's just not going to cut it to be a top three tight end.

55:31So concade to me feels like the tight end three in all of fantasy right now. Where was this in 2024 when I know a bunch of preseason articles about his upside line? Good. I know. Trust me. Hosts. Host types. Yes. That's it. Wow. Never wrong. Only early. That's it. Yeah, you don't make excuses or do make excuses. Okay. Yes. Yes. Do make excuses. Yes. I'm going to admit error. It was so prescient. Was so prescient. Yes. Who's your riser through the first two? It's Jalen Waddle speaking of being prescient, field actually in red zone on fantasy football countdown fantasy focus countdown. You know, $200. Okay. I love that we locked eyes trying to figure it out. It's going to matter. It's got to say FFC. Okay. FFC, um, field on FFC mentioned that Sean Peyton had told his wife to draft a Jalen Waddle, which you know, might hint to the fact that he planned on using him, but Sean Peyton's a little bit tricky like a fox.

56:32Like we can't always trust him. True. And finally in week two, he was unlocked. He finished with eight of 10 for 138, including a gorgeous 48 yard contested catch right at the goal line that put the Broncos in scoring position. Obviously, um, this is what the Broncos spent so much to get. So I cannot guarantee, obviously, that Sean Peyton won't Peyton and Waddle will have like a dud. I think we also mentioned the 10 different pass catchers were targeted in that effort, but we saw Waddle being used the way we expected he would be used. And so I'm going to stay confident. He is a locked in wide receiver to for me. And sometimes if the chips don't fall my way, I know that that's what I'm doing, but I'm also betting on the upset. There's got to be an obvious answer to this. Sean Peyton must have been playing his wife in week one. Right. He must be in the league and he must have been playing against his wife in week one. Or she said, what was that? Like he came home from work and she was like, I, well, I lost my league because of you,

57:32honey. And he was like, well, all right. I don't want to sleep on the sofa. Let's dial it up. Yeah. I don't know if he slept on that. Never mind. I was thinking about the Caleb Williams, like, yeah, all that stuff. Yeah, maybe tough for him. Yeah. And be tough. I think mine is the easiest one in fantasy football. I mean yours was up there as well. Yeah. But Jalen Coker is a wide receiver five after the first two weeks of this season. Awesome. Yeah. A guy that we thought, you know, and we've had him as a sleeper for a little bit. We've seen small breakouts here and there looking fantastic. Eight for one, 31 and two touchdowns against Chicago and then eight for 66. Again, nine targets, 14.6 fantasy points against Atlanta. Good at the game. It looks so good. He looks like a locked in wide receiver two him and Teterol Mcmillan. I don't know where we are at the point where we can call him 1a and 1b, but he is clearly getting real close. Yeah. Yeah. He is clearly a invested part of this offense. And I don't think that's going to change as well. So Jalen Coker probably my biggest riser and now is looking like a wide receiver two flex play depending on where you're at because of how good he has been and the volume that he's

58:36getting. I don't think if you have him, you cannot start him. It would be tough. You might have some really tough, but fun flex options that you have to figure out because you're like, boy, both of these guys are so good. What do I do here? Like those are the best when you have those flex off and reasons for confidence include the way that Bryce Young is playing. Also that this is not totally new. He had four top 25 finishes in his final seven games last season. The idea of him being a talented guy is not some new found discovery for the Panthers. They know he's legit. They paid him this off season. It's great to see our buddy Eric Moody. Unfortunately, there's no longer with us in the fantasy focus knockout league. Okay. Whoa. He is still available everywhere on social media at Eric and Moody. Make sure that you follow him. But unfortunately Eric got knocked out this week. We thought why not bring our buddy Eric and here he is. Look at him. Eric. Sorry, man. I mean, he looks good in that suit. By the way, that's a $1,500 $2,000 suitify ever saw. I'm feel jates. Why don't we welcome in our buddy Eric?

59:37He's got the glasses on. Trying to hide his dry eyes. The man who holds it down for us every single day. How you doing, bud? You know what? I have been better, Doc. I'm dressed for a huge role today because of my knockout league team. And I just want to have some words. I guess this will be the eulogy, so to speak. I felt pretty good about this team going into the draft. The draft went well. Jackson Darts. I had Malik neighbors. David Montgomery, AJ Brown, Chase Brown. I was feeling pretty good. So great. It week one. I'm like, hey, AJ Brown, he's injured. But hey, I've got pretty good depth here. I feel good going into week two. That optimism, Doc, it dwindled, especially on Sunday. Sunday night, I'm sitting there. Okay, I've got Monday night football. I've got neighbors. I've got Jackson Darts. Pretty good matchup. Should be high score. And I think I'll be good. And I'll tell you this. I'm sitting there watching the game. I was sitting there on the sofa. I saw a dark go down.

1:00:39So I just had this feeling of dread. I felt like Spider-Man and Avengers Infinity War. Thanos is snapped the Infinity gauntlet half of the universe is gone. And I just felt like Tom Hall of Roe. Like, hey, Mr. Sark, I don't feel so good. That feeling of dread just carried me through that entire game. And we all saw the outcome. The week neighbors, I'm like, he should be on a milk carton. I'm like, he didn't do anything. And I'm eliminated. So I am gone. It was a nice run. But that's all I have to say about that. You give it Sunday, right? Things happen. Sorry. First off, Liz, this is a funeral. Have some respite. Seriously, some grace. Some grace here. Eric, we love you so much. I'm so bummed that you have lost. You literally are the thing that keeps our chat together. Following my guys that on social media at Eric and Moody, anything you want to say to him before we get out of here, Liz? The point that was the most spectacular bow out I have ever seen. Well, I love you, buddy. He's the best. Eric, we love you, man. So sorry that you're out. I promise I'll pick up some of your good players though in order to keep you alive in my heart.

1:01:39Absolutely. Absolutely. I've got the ears of joy, Paul. And now here's a joy. All right. Love you, brother. Oh, dang. That's so frustrating. This isn't leaked as a $1,000 budget. I'm just reminding myself. Yes. Yes. We have a separate league that we play in. It's a fantasy staff league. And James Cook was amongst the players knocked out in week one. And I bid $100 on James Cook because I thought I was bidding about 10% of my budget. The other league it turned out the budget was $100. Oh, so people were very surprised that I spent all my money on James Cook. He'll know something about James Cook the way he knows. Also something again, right? We ended up rectifying that. Okay. Okay. Good. Love that. Read the rules. Yes. Yes. We've got to get out the show. Yes. Don't forget to take back versus four wins in the building. I will be in the building all of the show. Absolutely. I heard that all flights to Los Angeles have been delayed for four months or months. Liz, congratulations. You get to live with a double tree.

1:02:40How many cookies can I eat? Let's find out. You just booked a world record. Thanks for hanging out on the stage. Even like an hour to go into the woods and I'll let you know. Make sure. Okay. All right. Well, that's going to do it for us here on fantasy. We've got to get out the show. Yes. Don't forget to love each other and be kind to yourself. We'll see you tomorrow. We'll see you dive in two week. Three rankings. See you guys. Fantasy. You and the whole six, don't want to home. Focus. Fantasy. Fantasy. Focus. Fantasy. Focus. Before this. There's this.
