Lord Hinkie
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the ZNG Dynasty podcast. And man, do we have a good one in for you guys today.
00:00:53
Lord Hinkie
Pretty good week for even though don't know if you guys would agree with me. Week seven was a good week for the NFL. lot of high scoring teams, a lot of high scoring players. And man, that I win in a lot of my fantasy leagues this week.
00:01:05
Lord Hinkie
Not to shout out myself, but I'm going to shout out myself. while I do that, I'm going to give a shout out to the rest of the ZNG pod here. We got a full cast in here today. Zig, go ahead hi to the people, big fella.
Special Guest Ana Joins the Discussion
00:01:15
Dakota Zeigler
A shout out everyone, and I just got to play it.
00:01:20
Dakota Zeigler
The Broncos are the best team in the NFL. Prove me wrong. We beat the Giants, who somehow beat the Philadelphia Eagles, remind you guys. And yeah, we're going to lead the way. Let's go.
00:01:33
Lord Hinkie
I mean, probably game of the year. I mean, we'll talk about it more later after we get through the end show, but that was an amazing football game to watch. Ninja, go ahead and say hi, Big Phil.
00:01:41
Ninja
Yo, what's going on, everybody? I'm happy to be back on with the boys. It was a really good week of football. A really good week of football. That Broncos intro, every podcast. I don't like that. We got to cut that out.
00:01:51
Ninja
Production, get on that.
00:01:52
Lord Hinkie
I know it's it's getting old and it's getting old real fast. Like I hate how good they're playing. it's It's almost irritating. But yes, I did a lot of scouting on my couch again this week, scouting, like I like to call it. But before we get into this week's episode, we actually have a special guest today. We're going to give a quick shout out to, we have Ana on the podcast. So go ahead and say hi to people, Ana.
00:02:11
Anna
Hello, I'm excited to be here today. and
00:02:17
Lord Hinkie
And that's all you get, ladies and gentlemen. So it's going to be a good one.
00:02:19
Dakota Zeigler
you
00:02:21
Lord Hinkie
As always, obviously tune in whenever you want to, give us a little shout out whenever you want to, but We're going to kind of roll through here as we normally do. but yeah, like we do on this podcast, we do the goods and we do the bads. We don't do the studs and duds. We do goods and bads around here and they were plenty of goods to talk about this week.
00:02:41
Lord Hinkie
And the first one I have is a little bit of a, we are tight end. Pat Friermuth had himself a week this week for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:02:46
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
00:02:49
Lord Hinkie
First one this season, really two touchdowns over a hundred yards, really the, the brightest point, in that Thursday night football game for the Steelers side of things. But Zig, anything to say on Pat Frymuth? And what do you like for him for the rest of the year? Is he at a tight end one there in Pittsburgh?
00:03:09
Dakota Zeigler
So shout out Ty, Tiny Ty, on this of guy because he is a Pittsburgh fan and I played against him in two leagues and he was just like, you know what?
00:03:13
Lord Hinkie
Shout out.
00:03:19
Dakota Zeigler
I think Pat Frymuth, who only had seven catches all year, I think I'll play him this week. And he just absolutely destroyed me. So shout out for Ty for knowing his team. Pat Frymuth is the tight end one on this le on this team.
00:03:32
Dakota Zeigler
I will never have the guts to start this guy. Not with Arthur Smith, who loves John O. Smith. Not with Darnell Washington, who's always the red zone threat. They got three good tight ends. I like like Pat Frymuth the best, but I will never have the guts to start him.
00:03:46
Lord Hinkie
there. Anna, going give you a little quick little question. Any insider highlights, and Pat Firemuth, as you are a We Are alumni?
00:03:54
Anna
Yeah, I mean, i think Penn State has been proving themselves time and time again with their tight ends. I think Pat was kind of the start of that.
00:04:02
Lord Hinkie
Tight end, you.
00:04:04
Anna
i think he came out of there being obviously a really good tight end. He came out and has only done well in the league.
00:04:14
Anna
He hasn't really shined until this year, I feel.
00:04:14
Lord Hinkie
Mm-hmm.
00:04:17
Anna
he has done well, but this is his first year. I feel like he's really coming out on top. on the team. And then i think that's only making a pathway for the other tight ends at Penn State. I think they're seeing what they can do and taking away things from that.
00:04:33
Lord Hinkie
Oh, definitely. Yeah. mean, with Tyler Warren nowadays, absolute stud first year in the NFL.
00:04:37
Anna
Yeah.
00:04:37
Lord Hinkie
And I love the kid Luke Reynolds. We got there at Penn state right now.
00:04:40
Anna
Yeah. And Khalil, thank you.
00:04:41
Lord Hinkie
That guy is an absolute stud. We'll be talking about him at a college podcast. We definitely have to do one day. But on the other side of that Thursday night football game, the Bengals had a
Player Performances and Team Analyses
00:04:51
Lord Hinkie
pretty good offense. Joe Flacco, Jamar Chase had a franchise record setting day and T Higgins had himself a nice day to a ninja.
00:05:01
Lord Hinkie
What are our thoughts on this Bengals offense? Can Joe Flacco actually keep this thing moving this year?
00:05:07
Ninja
Yeah, he can. And I would argue that this was game of the week. Steelers at Bengals on Thursday night.
00:05:10
Lord Hinkie
Hmm.
00:05:12
Ninja
we Everyone knows Jamar Chase is really good. Watching him like this past week reminded me a lot of Randy Moss. Just really good. But no I think Joe Flacco can bring this team. Like I said, he's an above average quarterback. He brings up the floor of this team. If the defense can hold the other team to under 30, I think that's the bar.
00:05:33
Ninja
They have a chance to win these games because their offense is that high powered.
00:05:37
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, Jamar Chase with 23 targets, 16 receptions, 161 yards, and a touchdown. Broke the Bengals franchise record for receiving receptions in a game.
00:05:50
Lord Hinkie
I mean, Zig, you said it before. Joe Flacco's just going to throw the guy's ball.
00:05:54
Dakota Zeigler
the The guy is so old, he's ready to retire. He's gotten he's not playing for another team. He's just going to say, yep, Jamar's down there somewhere. And T.
00:06:03
Lord Hinkie
And...
00:06:03
Dakota Zeigler
Higgins, I mean, he has a good he is good receivers.
00:06:06
Lord Hinkie
Next bright spot for this week is the London game, which turned out not to be a great game. But, I mean, if you had anybody on the Rams, it ended up being a pretty good game. Matthew Stafford, I think, had five touchdown passes. Just incredible. Devontae Adams caught three of them.
00:06:21
Lord Hinkie
The Rams' offense looks very good, even without Puka Nakua. I think they're just kind of keep this thing moving. Kyron didn't really have a great week, which we'll kind of talk about him a little bit later.
00:06:28
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:06:30
Lord Hinkie
But this Rams' offense looks very, very good. Ninja, what are your thoughts?
00:06:34
Ninja
Yeah, Kyron got sniped. I think three times Devontae Adams had a one-yard touchdown catch.
00:06:39
Lord Hinkie
I was just going to say that.
00:06:40
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. They're all like end zone feeds.
00:06:41
Ninja
So, yeah, he got sniped. But the Rams looked good. And the Jags looked bad. Their wide receiver situation is really bad.
00:06:53
Ninja
I think in that game there was six drops.
00:06:54
Lord Hinkie
Well.
00:06:55
Ninja
Six drops. We'll get to the one guy who didn't drop. But, like, I think they had, like, six or seven drops on the game. It was it was a bad showing from the Jaguars.
00:07:04
Anna
Thank you.
00:07:05
Lord Hinkie
Yes, Brian Thomas did not him have himself a good game, which we'll also talk about him later. But a bright spot on the Jags side of this game was my guy, Travis Hunter, finally showing up to the NFL this year.
00:07:18
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, give me those claps. I need those claps because, man, it was getting really, really sad and depressing for weeks.
00:07:19
Dakota Zeigler
Well deserved. Well deserved.
00:07:24
Lord Hinkie
Eight catches, 100 yards, and his first NFL touchdown this week. Love to see it from Travis Hunter. Zig, is this now the Travis Hunter we can expect, or... Is this just a one-off thing? What do you think?
00:07:37
Dakota Zeigler
I saw they're looking to transition him more into the wide receiver one role. Liam Cohen came out and said they they need to make him a priority in this offense as the number one wide receiver, not as a secondary, as the number one over BTJ. So I think this is going to be huge for Travis Hunter.
00:07:55
Lord Hinkie
Gotcha. Anna, is it you're big Travis Hunter fan?
00:07:56
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:07:57
Lord Hinkie
Also, is it Anna or Anna? I feel like I screw it up because I do. I have a weird accent. I say things really funny. So is it Anna?
00:08:04
Anna
Yeah, it's Anna.
00:08:05
Lord Hinkie
Okay, I'm very sorry.
00:08:06
Anna
It's here okay.
00:08:07
Lord Hinkie
just I'm from Philly, so we have this weird like on thing kind of going on.
00:08:08
Anna
No, you're good.
00:08:10
Lord Hinkie
So I apologize.
00:08:11
Anna
No, you're good.
00:08:11
Dakota Zeigler
yeah say Say your name.
00:08:13
Lord Hinkie
Gary.
00:08:14
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, it cracks me up. God, I mean.
00:08:15
Lord Hinkie
I know, I'm sorry. It's just I can't help myself.
00:08:17
Anna
I respond to both. It's all good.
00:08:19
Lord Hinkie
Perfect.
00:08:20
Anna
No, yeah, I really like Travis Hunter. I personally have always liked seeing him at wide receiver more. i think obviously he succeeds at both, but I think especially on the Jaguars, their offense has been week.
00:08:35
Anna
So I think seeing him there and seeing what he can do there will definitely be beneficial.
00:08:41
Lord Hinkie
Let's go.
00:08:41
Anna
And it
00:08:41
Lord Hinkie
I mean, I've always been a big fan of Travis Hunter playing wide receiver over corner. The man who doesn't agree with that is Ninja himself.
00:08:46
Dakota Zeigler
Okay.
00:08:48
Lord Hinkie
Go ahead and give your thoughts on that Travis Hunter big guy. And then go ahead and talk about one of the other guys, XL having himself a day.
00:08:55
Ninja
Yeah, I always like Travis Hunter at the corner a lot better. i thought I think he's locked down in man coverage. I think he's great. But at wide receiver, like, he's got it. He's good. Is he epic? I mean, I could.
00:09:06
Ninja
Time will tell. You know what I mean?
00:09:07
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:09:08
Ninja
But to another one of my guys, how we doing? Xavier Leggett, I can't tell you how happy this game made me.
00:09:15
Dakota Zeigler
I got you, Damien.
00:09:17
Lord Hinkie
Needs it.
00:09:17
Ninja
Thank you.
00:09:18
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:09:18
Dakota Zeigler
It deserves its flowers.
00:09:18
Ninja
Oh, oh, wow.
00:09:19
Lord Hinkie
Well deserved. Well deserved.
00:09:22
Ninja
After a rough rookie year, he's really pulling it together year two. it's The caveat is Bryce is now hurt.
00:09:30
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:09:30
Ninja
So I don't know how that affects his production, but I love what I saw this year. i I love this guy. I love any person who can't speak proper English.
00:09:40
Ninja
i think I think that's my type.
00:09:41
Lord Hinkie
yeah Is that why we're we're like besties? Because I have no idea how to say anything.
00:09:45
Ninja
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:49
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I love XL.
00:09:49
Anna
Billy speaks their own language and I firmly believe that so
00:09:52
Lord Hinkie
Exactly. Boom. Perfect. Thank you. I'm a big fan of XL as well. I think what most impressed me this week was 11 targets. Usually he's only seeing two or three, twoth two, three, four, and then he's hopefully catching two or three of those.
00:10:00
Ninja
Yeah, buddy.
00:10:02
Anna
Thank you.
00:10:07
Lord Hinkie
11 targets, nine catches. like If he's a guy that's Bryce Young's first target, the sky's the limit for XL, honestly. I think the matchup against the Jets was very good for him because, man, that Jets team absolutely sucks.
00:10:21
Lord Hinkie
Very, very bad. Next bright spot, Ninja. Let's go, buddy. The ego the Eagles passing offense finally got their crap together.
00:10:27
Ninja
birds! Go birds!
00:10:32
Lord Hinkie
Hurts had a great game over 300 yards. Devontae had a big catch. 75-yard touchdown. A.J. Brown had himself a night with two tutties. Just absolutely love to see it.
00:10:40
Anna
Thank you.
00:10:42
Lord Hinkie
And to be honest, even watching the game, I think they could have done a lot better than they did, and they still end up having a really good game.
00:10:49
Ninja
I agree. I agree. i think this was half of what we could have seen. And in all your big media outlets, they're like saying the Eagles haven't played up to stuff like they haven't looked good, which is true.
00:11:01
Lord Hinkie
Which is true.
00:11:01
Ninja
But imagine, just imagine we're a really good team with a good record and we still have yet to hit six gear. Like you don't want to you know, get hit your top speed too early in a season. We're working into it.
00:11:15
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:11:15
Ninja
I love everything about this, and I think this gave me some relief, not necessarily on the offense. I knew the offense could be productive. Kevin Petula bought himself another couple weeks because I think this was a really good executed game.
00:11:27
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
00:11:30
Lord Hinkie
I agree. I'm most impressed with the fact that our offense can run well enough and we still don't have a run game. Like Saquon can't get going at all. 2.4 yards per carry.
00:11:41
Lord Hinkie
Hasn't been able to break or break a rush, I think, over 15 yards this season, which is completely unlike him. But, Anna, I was going to throw it to you Saquon Barkley. I'm assuming we're a big fan.
00:11:52
Lord Hinkie
But what do you think he has to do differently this year to kind of get it going? Is it the offensive line? Is it the offensive game plan? Or are defenses kind of just like zoning in on him because of how incredible he was last season?
00:12:06
Anna
I think it's kind of a mix, and I have to be completely honest. I haven't really sat and watched an Eagles game. But from the bits I see and from the coverage that I see after the games, typically they're just showing the highlights of what he can do because of what you're saying. They've zoned in on him so much.
00:12:24
Lord Hinkie
Mm-hmm.
00:12:24
Anna
So I do think that's a huge piece of it is that he was put on such a pedestal last season because he came from five seasons at the Giants of – not having success at all due to having such a bad line and having the injury after injury.
00:12:39
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:12:41
Anna
I don't know if you guys watched the documentary. i i did and I thought it was really well done and I think it really highlighted how even when he was put back on the field after being healed, he wasn't fully healed. Like he was still at partial percentage. He was not at a hundred percent going back out there. Cause he, that's just who he is.
00:13:04
Anna
And that's who a lot of these guys are. They just want to get back out there. so I think that's definitely part of it is we had our expectations. We being the media, everyone, the analysis, they had their expectations so high on what he was going to do this season when in reality, how he played last season was exceptional and groundbreaking, and that's not going to happen every single season.
00:13:28
Anna
So the numbers he's putting up this season, no, they're not to Saquon standard, but they're also not awful. I think exactly.
00:13:36
Lord Hinkie
We're just too used to greatness from him, I think.
00:13:39
Anna
I mean, can we expect more out of a running back in general?
00:13:39
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:13:43
Anna
Yes. But I think we're all also expecting more out of Saquon because he's Saquon.
00:13:50
Lord Hinkie
Definitely.
00:13:51
Anna
And I think that is because of how his last season went. And obviously we would all love to see it. I think people would love to see it as an Eagles fan, but I can't speak too, too much on what exactly is happening in the breakdown.
00:14:01
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
00:14:05
Anna
of the games because I haven't sat and watched a game.
00:14:08
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, you can just say you're a bona fide hater and it's fine.
00:14:10
Anna
I am, that's not my chance.
00:14:11
Lord Hinkie
It's okay. We pass it. It's all right. We got to get it out there. But Zig, non-biased opinion, Broncos fan who's not really a hater of the birds, what are your thoughts on this offense in general?
00:14:23
Lord Hinkie
Do you think we can kind of just push more into the passing game or do you think we eventually have to get Saquon Barkley going?
00:14:31
Dakota Zeigler
Uh, that's kind of hard to say. I think more in your guys' situation, it's going to become matchup dependent. I think if you guys are up a little bit, you say Quan get him involved and run him into the ground.
00:14:41
Dakota Zeigler
What wasting clock. If you guys are in a closer game, you guys have the ability to throw the ball. I mean, you have so many weapons all over the field. and Like I said, I think it's just going to be more matchup dependent.
00:14:54
Dakota Zeigler
Damian, what's your thoughts on here, bud?
00:14:55
Lord Hinkie
Thank you.
00:14:56
Ninja
Saquon's going to turn it around once we get Landon Dickerson fully healthy. That's a big part of our O-line. I gave Jordan Mailata a lot of flack last week.
00:15:07
Ninja
Earned flack. He definitely had a much better game this past week. But the offensive line isn't the same. Keep in mind, we did lose that big boy, Mekhi Becton, to the Chargers, who's an absolute mauler in the run game.
00:15:20
Ninja
And Cam Jerkins, I think, has been battling and injury playing through an injury, rather, so he's not quite at 100%. So once we get our interior offensive line fully healthy, it's a full go. It's just, can we get them healthy? We need a bye week so bad.
00:15:36
Lord Hinkie
Yes, we do. I think we have one coming up in like two or three weeks. I think we need it really bad. But before this turns into the just strictly an Eagles podcast, so we can move on.
00:15:42
Anna
Excuse me.
00:15:43
Lord Hinkie
For the Vikings side of that Eagles game, Jordan Addison looked really good. Both targets, nine catches, 128 yards, kind of overshadowed Justin Jefferson, which is really unheard of for that Vikings team.
00:15:55
Lord Hinkie
But I think that just goes to show it's hard to tell what this Minnesota offense is going to look like because it's just ran through Carson Wentz right now through Kevin O'Connell's brain.
00:16:06
Lord Hinkie
So it' it's kind of hard to put any stake in what's going on right now until they bring J.J. McCarthy back and he ends up being their starting quarterback. But, Zig, i was going to throw it to you. Not a big Jordan Addison guy. Do you think he this is just like a one-week one-off and they have to go back to J.J. Jets next week?
00:16:26
Dakota Zeigler
I'm not the biggest Jordan Addison fan just because of Jay Jets. I love Jay Jets a lot, and I think he's number one. I love seeing TJ Hawkinson get involved. The running backs, they're getting Aaron Jones back here this week.
00:16:41
Dakota Zeigler
Jordan Addison, I have to give his flowers, is one heck of a player, and he tends to do this every couple of games where he just has these huge blow-up games.
00:16:49
Lord Hinkie
He's a sneaky boomer bust guy.
00:16:50
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, for sure. So he's a guy you, if I'm playing him, I like to play him in DFS just because he can have the, like you said, he could bust, he can give you absolutely nothing, or he has these massive games.
00:17:03
Dakota Zeigler
It almost seems like if there's a better cornerback on the field that'll cover J-Jets, that he's going to, if there's a better cornerback that they're covering J-Jets, that he's going to be open more, Addison is going to be open more. So kind of a little more matchup dependent, but.
00:17:22
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:17:23
Lord Hinkie
Hard to tell. Another bright spot this week was pretty much the Kansas City Chiefs against the Raiders. I mean, whooped them 31 to nothing. But the two biggest bright spots in that team was Patrick Mahomes, again, playing like old MVP Patrick Mahomes.
00:17:37
Lord Hinkie
And another big one, Rasheed Rice, first came back this year after his long suspension. Seven catches, only 42 yards, but two tutties. Instant red zone threat there. Kelsey kind of had a down week.
00:17:51
Lord Hinkie
Mahomes and Rice had great weeks, and Ninja, I know you had Rasheed in your touchdown parlay, so definitely expecting a big week from him this week, weren't you?
00:18:02
Ninja
he He did great, and I thought he would do great, and he did exactly what I thought he was going to do. Instant number one target for Patrick Mahomes coming back.
00:18:10
Ninja
Although, did Mahomes play great? I watched the game. A lot of questionable calls early in that game that I didn't like. know I'm that guy. i know i'm that guy But the Chiefs are still getting a lot of favorable calls early in games that change outcomes of games.
00:18:26
Ninja
I think they would have won still, but Rishi Rice is great.
00:18:27
Anna
Thank you. yeah
00:18:28
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, it's 31-0.
00:18:30
Ninja
Rishi Rice is great, but the refs need to stop getting in the game so much. Please.
00:18:36
Lord Hinkie
I'm all for being anti-chief and like hating on how they have 12 men on the field at all times, but I mean, it's 31-0. like it wasn't a It wasn't a game.
00:18:47
Ninja
They would have won, but it would have been closer, I think. Maybe.
00:18:51
Lord Hinkie
I don't think so.
00:18:52
Ninja
No one agrees.
00:18:52
Lord Hinkie
Anna, what are your thoughts on this?
00:18:53
Ninja
I'm on a loan. I'm alone.
00:18:55
Anna
No.
00:18:56
Dakota Zeigler
Is he the
00:18:57
Anna
just that They've proven it time and time again. Mahomes is out there doing stuff and being younger than quarterbacks have been in the past. I'm getting my words jumbled up, but he's one of the best to do it and doing it younger than anyone's done it before.
00:19:19
Anna
Numbers are showing it. It's not just an opinion. Yeah.
00:19:22
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, definitely back to his old...
00:19:23
Dakota Zeigler
is is he the
00:19:24
Lord Hinkie
Go ahead, Zik.
00:19:25
Dakota Zeigler
Is he the level of, we you hear the discussion of like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady. Is he going to be in that category by the end of his career, do you think?
00:19:35
Anna
Again, if you look at the numbers, absolutely the rate they were playing at this, point and there's uh what is this is eighth season ninth season if you look at the numbers absolutely but obviously everything can change but you can also see that where you he started the season off rocky and rough and then turned it around it's not like he's consistently good he has the downfalls but he's able to pull himself back together and he's able to handle the
00:19:46
Dakota Zeigler
Something like that.
00:20:11
Anna
hate and everything like that. So I think so.
00:20:13
Dakota Zeigler
So final question, Mahomes, then we can move on, Gary. But is Patrick Mahomes that good? and Or is it Andy Reid that good?
00:20:23
Anna
Great question. I think it's both. I'm a big fan of both.
00:20:26
Dakota Zeigler
Ooh.
00:20:27
Lord Hinkie
Great combo.
00:20:27
Ninja
Don't forget about Matt Nagy being one of the best quarterbacks coaches of the NFL of all time.
00:20:31
Lord Hinkie
Shout out Matt Nagy. That's a ball knower right there, knowing that he's their OC.
00:20:35
Ninja
No lie, he's great at what he does.
00:20:37
Lord Hinkie
hey
00:20:40
Lord Hinkie
Very good OC. Not a great head coach, as he showed in Chicago, but very, very good OC. I like my I like my homes. Obviously, before the season started, we were kind of big haters.
00:20:51
Lord Hinkie
on Mahomes and how he performed last season and what we thought he could do this year.
00:20:53
Ninja
Still am.
00:20:55
Lord Hinkie
But I think I have to i have to give my honest take. He is still the best quarterback in the league, and it's he's starting to show it again.
00:21:05
Ninja
The best?
00:21:05
Lord Hinkie
i mean, this cut he's QB1 in fantasy, let alone actually performance on the field. he's He's been playing incredible this year. You have to give him his flowers.
00:21:16
Lord Hinkie
I hate to do it, but here it is. moving on before we know Moving on before we get into another hour thing of the podcast, we could do it on the After Dark, but Quinshawn Studkins had himself a week this week.
00:21:18
Ninja
No.
00:21:30
Lord Hinkie
I'm going to give myself a little bit of a shout out because if you listened the last podcast, I told you guys two plus touchdowns for Quinshawn Judkins, and I hope you bet it because not only did he score two, this dude scored three touchdowns against the Miami Dolphins this week.
00:21:47
Lord Hinkie
Just absolutely to tore them apart. That Miami team is awful. I don't know how Mike McDaniel still has a job. I thought that hot take was going to hit as soon as they lost that game in demoralizing fashion. I mean, 31 to 6. You're not even competing against the Browns.
00:22:03
Lord Hinkie
Don't know how he still has a job. It has to be this week. But Quinshot Judkins, Ninja, obviously we're the two biggest fans of this guy. And again, he just proves it proves again.
00:22:12
Ninja
Yeah. Quinchon studkins is a stud.
00:22:15
Lord Hinkie
Studkins.
00:22:16
Ninja
It's what we expected going in. in And as far as Mike, but Daniel goes, I called my shot earlier in the year and missed. You called your shot and missed.
00:22:25
Lord Hinkie
thought I thought was money.
00:22:26
Ninja
How about we call a shot again? I'm not saying this week, maybe not this week.
00:22:30
Lord Hinkie
We'll just do it every week. It's going a weekly bid at this point.
00:22:33
Ninja
Yeah, we'll have to make some wager up where the winner who actually calls right week gets something. But Quinshot Junkins is a stud. We both love this guy coming out. Had one of the best films in college, I thought, last year.
00:22:44
Ninja
Even in limited carries. I love what he did. And like I said, he's on a field of his own now. Ashton Gentry is dying with the Raiders. Amari and Hampton is hurt. And that leaves Studkins to battle alone until a new challenger approaches. We'll get into that later.
00:23:01
Lord Hinkie
Ooh, cheeky. little tease for later in the pod.
00:23:02
Dakota Zeigler
Ooh. Ooh.
00:23:04
Lord Hinkie
Another bright spot this week was Chris Alave. Two touchdowns against the Bears. Kind of a bright spot for that New Orleans Saints team that has been really just looking for bright spots, if we're being honest. Zig, Chris Alave, two touchdowns. Are we back to starting this guy every week?
00:23:19
Dakota Zeigler
Ooh. Every week is tricky. More or less just because of Spencer Rattler. The quarterback situation still sucks. He is an unbelievably talented player.
00:23:28
Lord Hinkie
Three picks this week.
00:23:29
Dakota Zeigler
yeah uh i i lost to him in a league that's embarrassing to say shout out t gritty that was sounding just like yeah i i mean t t gritty shouted out he was gonna hand me my first lost and he did with spencer addler and that's just embarrassing but uh i hate saying the matchup dependent again i think that
00:23:34
Lord Hinkie
Ew.
00:23:39
Lord Hinkie
I'm telling you, I recorded that.
00:23:40
Ninja
Same guy.
00:23:55
Dakota Zeigler
If you have Olave on your team, you're not going have much better options to start him. And I think he's at the point where he is good enough and seeing enough work to be a weekly starter. So I would say yes in most situations.
00:24:07
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he's definitely the number one target. And if he continues to stay healthy and be their red zone target at this point, you have to play him, I think. But on the other side of that game, Ninja, DeAndre Swift had himself a really, really good game, 125 yards and a touchdown.
00:24:22
Lord Hinkie
But I know you want to talk about our next guy. Go ahead, buddy. Take it away.
00:24:26
Ninja
Zig, can I get that sword?
00:24:30
Dakota Zeigler
No, you cannot. I don't have it on this one.
00:24:32
Ninja
This guy.
00:24:32
Lord Hinkie
Oh, this is awkward.
00:24:33
Dakota Zeigler
I'm so sorry.
00:24:34
Ninja
Production.
00:24:34
Dakota Zeigler
I'm only allowed 10.
00:24:35
Ninja
Anyways.
00:24:36
Dakota Zeigler
can
00:24:37
Ninja
Anyways. My guy. Kyle Manungay. Have yourself a day, fella. Holy cow.
00:24:45
Anna
you
00:24:46
Ninja
I was on my own believing in this kid.
00:24:46
Dakota Zeigler
i can do this one.
00:24:48
Ninja
Gary had no- We'll take it.
00:24:50
Lord Hinkie
There it is.
00:24:51
Ninja
We'll take it. It's not the sword, but we'll take it
00:24:52
Lord Hinkie
That'll do. That'll work. That'll work. Yeah.
00:24:53
Ninja
We'll take it. Gary wanted no business of me having Kyle Monungay ranked as my number nine running back in this draft. Wanted no business with it. Didn't see the vision.
00:25:04
Ninja
But I am all-knowing. Ball knowledge runs deep in my brain.
00:25:07
Lord Hinkie
Oh, no.
00:25:09
Ninja
I said about JCM, and earlier this year, you just had to wait for it a little bit. little Kyle Monungay action. sniping DeAndre Swift in some goal line touches.
00:25:19
Ninja
We love to see that. Expect him to be a big riser towards the end of the year.
00:25:25
Lord Hinkie
I mean, i don't want to be the Kyle Manungai hater.
00:25:31
Ninja
Don't you dare.
00:25:32
Lord Hinkie
But I think this is your one week you're probably going to get out of your Kyle Manungais. Not many times you play against a team like the Saints when you're up 25 to nothing and you're putting your backups in because he's a backup.
00:25:51
Lord Hinkie
I just think it's going to be matchups for Kyle Mnonga. Obviously, Swift's the guy there, and he proved that. He had an incredible week. But he's a good handcuff to have, which is more than I would have said about him before the season started.
00:26:05
Lord Hinkie
So there you go.
00:26:07
Lord Hinkie
That's all you get out of me.
00:26:10
Lord Hinkie
Zig, anything else?
00:26:12
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
00:26:13
Lord Hinkie
No qualms. Moving on here, another bright spot. Jonathan Taylor continues to prove why he's one of, if not the best running back in the league. Another three touchdowns from him this week. And I kind of threw it in there, but this entire c Colts offense looks incredible.
00:26:29
Lord Hinkie
I mean, Alec Pierce even had himself a week this week. Tyler Warren continues to just to be a Penn State alumni, absolute stud like he always was supposed to be. Michael Pittman had himself a good week.
00:26:40
Lord Hinkie
Daniel Jones continues to show why maybe New York is probably the worst city to play football in in the entire country. it's This Colts team is legit. I love Shane Steichen.
00:26:51
Lord Hinkie
I'm kind of happy they're playing well, but also sad at the same time. You guys heard my notes on Shane Steichen before in the podcast. but And I was going to throw it to you. I love this Colts team. what are your thoughts on them? And obviously Tyler Warren himself.
00:27:05
Anna
Yeah, I'm really happy with how they're playing. I was not expecting this at all. I think the numbers they're putting up, I think you already touched on it. Jonathan Taylor, he had a great game.
00:27:20
Anna
He had what was it? Three touchdowns.
00:27:22
Lord Hinkie
Oh, yeah.
00:27:24
Anna
He was crazy. i think Daniel Jones going there was one of the best moves for him and for the team. It completely turned it around. I'm I'm excited to see the rest of the season for them.
00:27:35
Lord Hinkie
Is.
00:27:35
Anna
And obviously i love Tyler Warren there.
00:27:39
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, absolute stud muffin. Fellas, I'm going to throw it to you guys. Is Daniel Jones going to get himself another massive stupid contract?
00:27:50
Dakota Zeigler
Potential winner of comeback player the year.
00:27:53
Dakota Zeigler
Well-deserving at that point.
00:27:55
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, I don't know any other contenders in there right now, but off the top of my head, oh, okay, then maybe CMC.
00:27:58
Dakota Zeigler
CMC.
00:28:01
Dakota Zeigler
I think it's between those two at this point.
00:28:03
Lord Hinkie
But yeah.
00:28:04
Dakota Zeigler
i I believe I saw a quote from the beloved Saquon Barkley saying that Jonathan Taylor... not Jonathan Taylor, sorry, Daniel Jones, is a great quarterback and that the Giants stunted his growth.
00:28:18
Anna
Mm-hmm.
00:28:19
Dakota Zeigler
So he he made that comment that he is a good quarterback. He always rooted for the guy. He thinks he is very talented and just wasn't in the best situations. Side note for later in the pod, the Giants may do that again, but that's for a different conversation. I
00:28:35
Dakota Zeigler
i think...
00:28:35
Lord Hinkie
No qualms for me.
00:28:37
Dakota Zeigler
I think he's got you know potential higher end starting quarterback written on him right now.
00:28:42
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I think he's a guy who can definitely run a well-structured offense.
00:28:43
Dakota Zeigler
i same Same thing with Sam Darnold. I mean, I was yelling. I thought he was a Kevin O'Connell system quarterback benefiting.
00:28:55
Dakota Zeigler
and i Shout it out, Damian. Go ahead.
00:28:59
Ninja
Shout out, us says the A-Rich truther out there in the chat, is saying that Daniel Jones is an above average starting quarterback in this league.
00:29:06
Lord Hinkie
Awkward.
00:29:07
Ninja
Loved it. Loved to see it.
00:29:09
Dakota Zeigler
i i am I will take my L on A-Rich because I thought this was a Shane Steichen issue. I thought this was a you know a team issue. This goes to show it's all A-Rich, and I can't stop denying that. So there's there's my L on, you know.
00:29:26
Dakota Zeigler
I think he still has potential, but he's not there at this point.
00:29:31
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. Uh, Timestamp 2950. You've eaten that piece of a lot this year, and you continue just to eat that big pile of dump.
00:29:37
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:29:40
Lord Hinkie
And I'm sorry to keep... We we have to keep rubbing it your face, but and Anthony Richardson has just been one of the biggest L's fantasy-wise in a long, long time. And I will edit that out myself.
00:29:49
Dakota Zeigler
Long, long time, says the Trey Lance truther.
00:29:50
Lord Hinkie
I'm...
00:29:52
Lord Hinkie
I wasn't...
00:29:53
Ninja
well
00:29:53
Lord Hinkie
Whoa, I was never a Trey Lance guy.
00:29:54
Dakota Zeigler
No.
00:29:55
Lord Hinkie
you got me You got me mixed up with the other guy, the other Gary. I am not a Trey Lance guy.
00:29:59
Ninja
We're about to have a street brawl.
00:30:01
Lord Hinkie
No, Missed me on that. Moving on here before we get into some absurd territory.
00:30:06
Ninja
and flip
00:30:07
Anna
Thank you.
00:30:07
Lord Hinkie
On the other side of that c Colts game, the Chargers, Justin Herbert had himself a day, mostly in garbage time and kind of playing from behind.
00:30:14
Lord Hinkie
But, you know, we love that for fantasy. 420 yards, shout out passing and three touchdowns, two picks, but still pretty good game.
00:30:21
Dakota Zeigler
Thank
00:30:24
Lord Hinkie
and tight end Orande Gadsden. I finally figured out how to say his name. Seven catches, 164 yards, and a tutty. An incredible game. Keenan Allen continues to be the number one target there for Herbert.
00:30:37
Lord Hinkie
11 catches, 120 yards, and another touchdown. Ninja, I'm going to throw it to you. I think we talked about him pretty good last week, but this Gadsden kid, I think he's legit.
00:30:47
Ninja
I think he's really good at football.
00:30:50
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:30:50
Ninja
Imagine that. You make it to the NFL, you're good at football.
00:30:53
Anna
Thank you.
00:30:53
Ninja
Yikes. No, he's he's been really good, and I think we've seen subtle improving steps the entire year.
00:30:54
Lord Hinkie
Yikes.
00:31:01
Ninja
It's just he finally had that breakout moment, and I don't know how they continue to give him enough workload, targets, and whatnot to continue to be fantasy productive.
00:31:05
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
00:31:11
Ninja
I'm still hesitant. Like starting him in my lineups, especially single tight end, double tight end leagues. Sure. Throw him in there. Why not? Bob's your uncle, but single tight end.
00:31:22
Lord Hinkie
Shut up, Bob.
00:31:23
Ninja
I shout out, Bob. I still need to see a little bit more, i think even after this week. But what a game.
00:31:30
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I think we'll talk about it a little bit later, but there's so many mouths to feed there for the Chargers to where I think it's going hard to predict who is good for them on a week-to-week basis. But moving on to, I would say, the game of the week, this fourth quarter was probably the biggest quarter I've ever watched in football in years. so For the Giants side in this Giants-Broncos game, which we'll talk about the Broncos after Zig, but Jackson Dart had himself another pretty good fantasy game.
00:31:56
Lord Hinkie
Cam Scadaboo had himself a nice game, caught a touchdown this week, which we love to see with that absolute juggernaut of a football player. The guy just loves to ram his head into whatever's in front of him, and i kind of love that about the guy.
00:32:09
Dakota Zeigler
shoutout Shout out Biggie the Cookbook.
00:32:11
Dakota Zeigler
If you don't follow him on Instagram, he makes these skits all the time about Cam Scadabo, and they are the funniest thing in the world to me.
00:32:14
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. he has he I've seen those as well, and he is spot on with his Cam Scadaboo impressions. and Theo Johnson had himself a pretty good game, but just a ridiculous touchdown catch.
00:32:28
Lord Hinkie
i don't know if you guys saw it this week, but, uh, I forget what the wide receiver was.
00:32:29
Ninja
Nasty. Nasty.
00:32:33
Lord Hinkie
I think it was one that Robinson bobbled the catch, uh, got it deflected and Theo Johnson just so happened to be there and he caught the ball like the 30 and then ran in the rest of the way. Just an incredible football game to watch.
00:32:44
Lord Hinkie
Uh, Ninja, these giants, do we actually care about them for fantasy?
00:32:44
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
00:32:47
Lord Hinkie
Obviously we talked about Theo Johnson lot, but it's gotta be was an every week start and, I know I hate to say it, but is Jackson Dart startable in our Superflex leagues?
00:32:59
Ninja
No. No. And I feel like I'm on the wrong side. I feel like I got misinformation scouting.
00:33:08
Lord Hinkie
From Dart?
00:33:08
Ninja
Because I scout, I you not cut that 3330. I scouted this guy for at least four hours of just game tape.
00:33:19
Ninja
Nothing showed me that he'd be at least a decent NFL quarterback. Nothing showed me that in his college film. And I'm not saying I'm the best scouter out there. But... I'm not going to say my eyes deceive me either.
00:33:35
Lord Hinkie
You got trust your gut.
00:33:35
Ninja
So what I'm... So what I'm seeing is kind of like a... Almost like a false positive test, if you will. Where I don't know if this can keep going.
00:33:47
Ninja
The old line still kind of stinks. Wide receivers, big time stinks without Malik neighbors there. I love Theo. I'll talk about Theo all day long.
00:33:56
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, me too.
00:33:56
Ninja
But... I'm really worried about Jackson Dart. I think Skadabo's a stud.
00:34:01
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:34:02
Ninja
I said that. I think he's overproducing what I thought he was going to do, especially this early in his career. But I still don't know about Dart. I'm still going to be that pessimist when it comes to Dart, mainly because I scouted him and I hated what I saw.
00:34:18
Ninja
So I'll turn around eventually if he keeps proving it.
00:34:18
Lord Hinkie
Mm-hmm. That's fair. You got trust your gut for as much as you can. Yeah. Yeah, you got to be water, as they would say. Anna, any thoughts on this Giants football team and especially this offense?
00:34:29
Anna
I mean, we mentioned our third Penn State tight end. So I think that makes it sound.
00:34:34
Lord Hinkie
Tight end you, baby.
00:34:34
Ninja
We are, baby.
00:34:36
Anna
Yeah, we are. I think I would have to – don't want to say disagree, but I think Dart is proving himself each week, and I think I like what I see. I think he's going to continue doing great things.
00:34:51
Anna
I think it definitely helps that he is... a young guy going into the league. I think, what I tell people is it's kind of like they're protecting the baby. Like he's like a little baby back there.
00:35:02
Anna
Like they want to go and protect him.
00:35:04
Lord Hinkie
just a baby.
00:35:05
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:35:05
Anna
That's literally, said that, first time I talking about it, I was like, cause they went from having, Russell back there to him and it's two completely different people.
00:35:06
Ninja
please
00:35:13
Lord Hinkie
Completely different people.
00:35:15
Anna
so I think that definitely helps. And I also think it, having him in scat, they, are bringing such a new energy to that team and that truly can uplift an entire team and i know it sounds crazy that you can't just win because you're happy or because you're having fun but that truly does bring a lot to it and i don't think the giants have seen that in so long because they have not had that in so long they haven't had people who have had success
00:35:47
Anna
I am loving watching the giants. They actually are giving me hope to watch again. i don't have an NFL team, so I'm just kind of watch anyone I want to watch and just want to watch a good game. And I've actually enjoyed watching the giants again. So.
00:36:01
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I think that's a perfect way to kind of say it is. I mean, as an Eagles fan, I am worried about what the Giants are doing there in New in new York. They're kind of building this like completely different culture where they're kind of young and exciting, kind of like talking their own 36, 55.
00:36:15
Anna
Yeah.
00:36:16
Lord Hinkie
But it's it's it's worrying as an Eagles fan because I do think they're building something there, Ninja.
00:36:22
Ninja
The slander that Anna had on Danny Dimes and Saquon Barkley is frightening. Like, they weren't two young studs trying their best for an awful team.
00:36:34
Ninja
And, like, I would say right now, Danny Dimes, even then, is better than what Jackson Dart is now. And Saquon Barkley was definitely better than Skadabo is now.
00:36:43
Anna
Indiana Jones is doing Indiana Jones stuff at the Colts.
00:36:43
Ninja
But she's... Blessed.
00:36:46
Lord Hinkie
Indiana Jones, shout out.
00:36:46
Ninja
Blessed.
00:36:46
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:36:47
Anna
It's completely different.
00:36:47
Ninja
but but she But she's also right where this is finally an exciting football team after years. like You want to watch this Giants team play in primetime instead of the Chiefs.
00:36:54
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
00:36:58
Ninja
Please. Anybody but the Chiefs.
00:37:01
Lord Hinkie
Anybody. Zig, for this Broncos side of this game, take away, buddy. This is all you.
00:37:06
Dakota Zeigler
Before before i get into all the positives, I've said this time and time again. When you play the Broncos, whoever they're playing against, start the running backs and the tight ends. That's who beats us in every game.
00:37:17
Dakota Zeigler
The running backs and the tight ends. Every single week. But we win the game. We got Bo Nix, the best quarterback in the league and the best team in the league.
00:37:24
Lord Hinkie
Bo Nix.
00:37:26
Dakota Zeigler
Bo Nix! What a phenomenal comeback. Now, let me be completely honest here. We should never have been down 33 points in the fourth quarter to make that comeback.
00:37:35
Lord Hinkie
Jesus, man.
00:37:36
Dakota Zeigler
That should have never happened.
00:37:36
Ninja
Hang on, hang on. Are we- so So I know for future podcasts, are we gonna bring out music every time the Broncos win 38-25? Oh no, you beat the Giants!
00:37:44
Dakota Zeigler
if this was If this was a normal game, no, I wouldn't bring it out. The fact that this is the game of the...
00:37:50
Ninja
Oh no! you beat the giants
00:37:53
Dakota Zeigler
Something the Eagles couldn't do.
00:37:54
Ninja
Come on. We're going to do it this week. Belt to if you will. 3840. I'll stop. Thank you.
00:38:02
Ninja
and got to stop.
00:38:03
Dakota Zeigler
Can I, can I, uh, uh, Damien, I want to beat i iron un beatat you. I want to, I want to make like a friendly bet here that you guys going to lose again, but I don't know if I can, because you guys are going to be coming back with a vengeance so bad.
00:38:14
Lord Hinkie
No, no revenge game coming up.
00:38:17
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, this is going to be a, this is going to be the Eagles fighting back with the fury, but no, the Broncos, I mean, let's be honest here that, that one touchdown throw as well off the hands of receiver into another was all luck.
00:38:31
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, pure luck. We had a great game plan going into the fourth that gave us a shot to come back, but in all honesty, we probably should have lost that game too. I'm so happy we didn't, but we probably should have.
00:38:43
Lord Hinkie
Definitely should have lost that game. Sean Payton has the biggest cat set of cojones I've seen a head coach in a really long time since Doug Peterson, if I'm being honest. I love when I'm seeing that Sean Payton this year.
00:38:55
Lord Hinkie
Moving on to the next bright spot, Josh Jacobs and Tucker Craft for this Green Bay Packers team. They just continue to kind of carry this offense. And I feel like they're going to be an every week shout out to the point to where we shot probably shouldn't even have them get in our goods and our bads.
00:39:12
Lord Hinkie
Because they're in every week's start, pretty much. And there's no question about it.
00:39:18
Ninja
I agree. it's So like I said last week, Josh Jacobs made the good lease, and it's only because he had a bunch of receptions. That was the only reason. like If he didn't have those receptions, but still had a rushing touchdown and 100 rushing yards, he wouldn't made it. But these guys are studs every week of the year.
00:39:36
Ninja
Love loves Kraft and love loves Jacobs. So I love, love, love Jacobs and Kraft. You know what i mean?
00:39:43
Lord Hinkie
Got to love, love. On the other side of this game, Trey McBride is pretty much this entire Cardinals offense with no Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison really just not producing at this point.
00:39:46
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:39:55
Lord Hinkie
Ten catches, two touchdowns, 75 yards, just incredible. And again, he's a player to where we shouldn't even really give him these bright spots because he's going to continue to produce week in and week out.
00:40:08
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:40:08
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
00:40:10
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
00:40:10
Ninja
No qualms.
00:40:10
Dakota Zeigler
I think i think the the argument was fair at the beginning of this year and during draft season. We had this argument of Brock Bowers versus Trey McBride type of deal. I think they're neck and neck.
00:40:22
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, I think if you drafted Trey McBride around later than Brock Bowers, I think you got massive value. I mean, yeah.
00:40:29
Lord Hinkie
Definitely. And also, if you haven't been a listener to the podcast, when we we say no qualms, it's kind of like a saying around here. Basically saying, like you and do you have anything to say that like disagrees? like Do you have any qualms?
00:40:42
Lord Hinkie
Usually we say no qualms, which I think we have to put that thing on a t-shirt. We would sell a lot of tees.
00:40:47
Anna
I've got one.
00:40:47
Ninja
Put it on a shirt.
00:40:51
Lord Hinkie
And we need lot 2Xs and around here, but...
00:40:55
Lord Hinkie
We would sell a lot of tees.
00:40:57
Anna
Yeah.
00:40:57
Lord Hinkie
Might cost us a little bit more money, but it is what it is.
00:41:00
Dakota Zeigler
All that material. There
00:41:02
Lord Hinkie
Yes, yes. Moving on here to the next bright spot. I just have in here the Cowboys offense in general. This this team continues to produce, and it's another...
00:41:13
Lord Hinkie
Yes, exactly. That's exactly what I was going to say.
00:41:15
Ninja
yeah
00:41:16
Lord Hinkie
It's just, it sucks to see because they are just a high powered offense. Dak continues to be one of the top QBs in the league. Ziggs, Javante Williams produced it again this week.
00:41:25
Dakota Zeigler
it is
00:41:26
Lord Hinkie
Also side note, did you hear what me and Damon said on the last podcast about your three off of running max?
00:41:30
Ninja
yeah
00:41:32
Lord Hinkie
Cause that was my favorite bit of the week. You didn't listen, did you?
00:41:34
Dakota Zeigler
i I am.
00:41:34
Ninja
It's my favorite bit that we've ever done.
00:41:35
Dakota Zeigler
umm I'm going to be 100% honest. I was like a third of the way through the normal pod. I got the After Dark pod uploaded and I switched the After Dark pod. So.
00:41:44
Lord Hinkie
That's fair. That is one of our better bits. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but shout out our game show.
00:41:47
Dakota Zeigler
All right. Yeah. Save it for me.
00:41:48
Lord Hinkie
But Javante Williams.
00:41:48
Ninja
Shout out Junior and I.
00:41:49
Dakota Zeigler
what did The game show. The game show music was in on the. That's why I had to put the. The my guys bit wasn't in here because I took out the game show, which I believe you guys replaced.
00:41:59
Dakota Zeigler
Oh, I'm going to have to listen to this tonight. All right.
00:42:03
Lord Hinkie
Sorry about it. But also, on that Cowboys offense, CeeDee Lamb had himself a good week on his first week back. Two touchdowns for Ferguson and Pickens coming up with some big catches. That entire offense is just start all of them and don't even think about it. Any qualms?
00:42:17
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms, but I love the kitty.
00:42:18
Ninja
No qualms.
00:42:19
Anna
Nope.
00:42:19
Lord Hinkie
Shout out Nebula getting a little shout out in the pot. Are you pairing girl? want to say hi
00:42:23
Dakota Zeigler
I hear something. I can't tell if it's her or not, but.
00:42:26
Lord Hinkie
She is pairing. She's going to up turning my laptop off here in a second. But no real bright spots for that commander side of that game. But next one I have on here is CMC. There's a reason he's number one running back in the league, and he just proves it week in and week out.
00:42:40
Lord Hinkie
Same thing. Another guy we probably and shouldn't even have on here because he's just an every week stud. So any qualms?
00:42:47
Ninja
No qualms.
00:42:48
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
00:42:49
Lord Hinkie
Another two touchdowns. Just basically runs the entire same for an offense. Seven catches, two for 70 yards. Like, it's nothing. and
00:42:55
Ninja
Hang on. Do you think the San Francisco doctors are like having like a witch trunt high, like sacrificing other players of their team to keep CMC healthy?
00:42:56
Dakota Zeigler
Hasn't scored below 20 points.
00:43:05
Lord Hinkie
That's amazing.
00:43:06
Ninja
I think it's true.
00:43:06
Lord Hinkie
I would love. I hope that's true.
00:43:08
Dakota Zeigler
I've seen that too, Damien.
00:43:08
Ninja
don't know.
00:43:09
Dakota Zeigler
I think it's true.
00:43:12
Lord Hinkie
I mean, they keep winning games, too. It's not even like they're losing.
00:43:14
Ninja
That's what I'm saying.
00:43:14
Lord Hinkie
They continue to win games. So it's it's crazy, but it might be true. Monday Night Football, Jameer Gibbs had himself another day. 78 yard touchdown.
00:43:24
Lord Hinkie
Combine that with another touchdown as well. One of the biggest bright spot of the year. And sadly, I have no shares of Jameer Gibbs, which think I've talked about before, but.
00:43:31
Dakota Zeigler
oh
00:43:33
Lord Hinkie
I know one of my big misses. i have too many Bichon shares. That's why. But a Zig, big Jameer Gibbs guy. What'd you like watching him on Monday night?
00:43:41
Dakota Zeigler
i The fact that I took him over Damien is still one of the greatest draft day takes ever.
00:43:47
Lord Hinkie
Oh.
00:43:48
Dakota Zeigler
Watching him... play the game, though, is insane. And if they didn't have Montgomery behind him, like Montgomery doesn't take a ton away in games like this, but he could even, like the running the clock out of the end, he could even got a few more points here. He have few more points there. like He could be even bigger.
00:44:06
Dakota Zeigler
But I think they're being smart not utilizing him and trying are in those moments and trying to save him as much as they can. jcent er Gibbs, I mean, is a phenomenal, phenomenal running back.
00:44:19
Dakota Zeigler
Damien.
00:44:21
Ninja
So you guys out there who actually like watching deep film, not of special players, but of offensive linemen, go watch that last game and the blocking schemes they had in place for Jameer Gibbs.
00:44:33
Ninja
I'm a degenerate like that. where I'll watch O-line games and how they worked in the trenches. And man,
00:44:39
Lord Hinkie
That's why I love you.
00:44:41
Ninja
I think they have one of the best like choreographed, organized, run, offensive run schemes in the entire league. And Jameer Gibbs is great, but that offensive line, man, they're working magic.
00:44:55
Ninja
And like i saw I saw a couple videos today, and like I did my own research, watched the game back, Their technique and their run blocking, whoever their offensive line coach is, shout out. I don't know your name. I'll figure it out.
00:45:08
Ninja
But fantastic job, brother. Like, it's magic. I love seeing it. Anna.
00:45:14
Anna
How far are you having the Lions go this season?
00:45:18
Ninja
NFC Conference Championship against the Birds.
00:45:18
Anna
I think it's their year. They have to do something.
00:45:20
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. Losing to the birds in Philly.
00:45:23
Ninja
Let's go. Go Go Birds.
00:45:26
Lord Hinkie
But I mean, i I adore this Detroit lions team. They're I, Dan Cable was my favorite head coach in the league.
00:45:31
Ninja
It's
00:45:35
Anna
Yep.
00:45:35
Lord Hinkie
Their offenses ran just so well, even after losing their offense coordinator, whose name always escapes me whenever we start doing these pockets, Ben Johnson.
00:45:42
Ninja
Ben Johnson.
00:45:43
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:45:43
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, and like he's like the most popular offense coordinator. His name always escapes my mind. that You would think I don't host a football podcast, 46-45.
00:45:52
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:45:54
Lord Hinkie
But yeah, I love this team. Love watching the offense. I'm Rossi Brown. Love them. Another bright spot.
00:45:58
Anna
I'm ready for them to go further. I want them to get somewhere.
00:46:02
Lord Hinkie
You think they're going to the bowl?
00:46:03
Anna
I would love to see it. I'm ready for it.
00:46:06
Ninja
To be honest, I'd be okay with Lions and the Bull.
00:46:09
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:46:09
Anna
I don't know anyone who would be against it.
00:46:09
Dakota Zeigler
i'd be yeah
00:46:11
Anna
Even people who are diehard fans of a team. I don't know anyone who hates the Lions.
00:46:17
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, like if the Eagles weren't going to go, I'd want it to be aligned. And I think.
00:46:20
Ninja
Only because I saw Megatron. That's the only reason I like the Lions.
00:46:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:46:24
Ninja
is I saw Megatron once and I was like, wow, that's the best person play football I've ever seen in my entire life. And he just happened to play for the Lions. Yeah, I'm game.
00:46:34
Lord Hinkie
Shout out Calvin Johnson. I didn't think he'd get a shout out in this podcast. It's amazing.
00:46:38
Ninja
Dude, what a stud.
00:46:39
Lord Hinkie
We're an amazing podcast. Shout out us. The last bright spot here from the Monday Night Football segment, JSN, another guy who just continues to perform week in and week out.
00:46:43
Anna
Thank you.
00:46:50
Lord Hinkie
And Zach Charbonnet was the running back to have this week in Seattle. Two touchdowns, splitting carries back there in the backfield, but he's the red zone guy for sure. Ninja, what are your thoughts on the Seattle offense?
00:47:02
Ninja
So I think for us going forward, whoever writes this part of the segment, I don't think JSN can be in it anymore.
00:47:10
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he's just good.
00:47:11
Ninja
I think we have to up the quality of certification to get in for JSN.
00:47:15
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:47:16
Ninja
Because I think he's made it six out of the seven weeks. So we just have to up that qualification for him, which means he's doing really good.
00:47:25
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. mean, he's incredible.
00:47:25
Ninja
But i hate talking about him this much. Not because I dislike him, but I feel like there's more people we could shout out. you know Like, how am I going say really good? Maybe highlight those guys a little more.
00:47:36
Dakota Zeigler
Do I mute him? Can mute him now?
00:47:38
Lord Hinkie
Seems a little biased to me if you ask me, but yeah, that,
00:47:40
Ninja
Only a little biased.
00:47:42
Lord Hinkie
That finishes up our goods for this pod. We are already like 45 minutes in. So I think we're going to run through this bad segment of the podcast pretty quickly. So if you guys have anything else to throw in, just kind of throw it in there.
00:47:53
Lord Hinkie
Not a lot of bad spots to talk about this week. Like I said, it was a pretty good week fantasy wise and NFL wise this week. But for the most part, I have entire teams in this bad segment. and I'm going to kind of run through them.
00:48:05
Lord Hinkie
The Jaguars. Absolute dumpster fire in London against the Rams. Didn't even make that competitive game. Trevor Lawrence doesn't look great. Brian Thomas does not look great.
00:48:15
Lord Hinkie
ETN did not have a good week. Travis Hunter was really the only bright spot there. So hopefully the Jackson kind of turned around because I do like what they're building there. It's just they're very boomer bust as a football team, which you kind of hate to see.
00:48:28
Lord Hinkie
The New York football Jets probably are the worst team in the NFL. Man, they stink. I don't think they're well coached. I think that coach getting fired after one year. Aaron Glenn has not showed me anything.
00:48:41
Lord Hinkie
Justin Fields is now going to be benched for Tyrod Taylor because of how poor he is playing. Garrett Wilson's down for them for a couple weeks. This team is just awful, and I hope we can kind of just put him in the back burner and forget about him for the most part.
00:48:54
Lord Hinkie
Another team, another dud, the Raiders. They put up a big old fat goose egg against the Kansas City Chiefs this week. Couldn't get anything going offensively. Even Gentie wasn't able to get anything going for that offense.
00:49:06
Lord Hinkie
Geno Smith stinks, and i don't I think the only reason he's playing is because they don't really have another quarterback option there besides Kenny Pickett. It's sad to see. It's sad to watch. It's ugly football, and I hate it, and I feel bad for my Gentie shares.
00:49:21
Lord Hinkie
Brutal. The Miami Dolphins, we talked about them already, but just absolutely getting demolished by the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland. Sucks to see Tua had three picks. He does not look good. Devon H. And as a much of a study he is, wasn't able to have a good week this week.
00:49:38
Lord Hinkie
Offensive game is horrendous. Their defense continues just to be lit up by anybody at all. This this team is a dumpster fire. And I don't know how Mike McDaniel has a job at all. No idea.
00:49:52
Lord Hinkie
Speaking of a team already fired their head coach, the Titans also looked awful this week against the Patriots. Weren't really able to get Kay Moore going at all, even with the interim head coach boost. Really weren't able to do anything.
00:50:03
Lord Hinkie
Patriots won that game handily. And for that entire offense, the only player we're really even thinking about is Alec Iumainer. And it's because of one guy on this podcast, we're being honest.
00:50:14
Ninja
save for so Say it one more time.
00:50:14
Lord Hinkie
Shout out.
00:50:16
Ninja
One more time for me.
00:50:17
Lord Hinkie
Epic Iumainer. There you go, buddy.
00:50:19
Ninja
Oh, there it is. Love it.
00:50:21
Lord Hinkie
You can clip that and save that on your own phone for your own personal use.
00:50:24
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
00:50:25
Ninja
Yeah, I'll use that for later.
00:50:26
Lord Hinkie
Yes. And then the Eagles that kind of disappointed this week because there's just too many. There's too many mouths to feed it on an offense. Well, Saquon, again, not a really good week, not really good year in general, but we already kind of talked about that. And Dallas Goddard, been like a weekly starter, weekly stud this week or this season so far, but kind of threw up a dud this week with the wide receivers on that Eagles offense kind of getting moving.
00:50:50
Lord Hinkie
Sucks to see because there's so many mouths to feed there. He's going to have a few duds this year. You just kind of got to get used to it. Alvin Kamara was another dud. You would think he would be that entire New Orleans State's offense, but he i mean he had 2.5 yards per carry.
00:51:07
Lord Hinkie
His longest rush was 6 yards against the Bears. It's just it's not good football. It's a bad offensive line. It's a bad offense. It's just not good football. any I do think he's a talented player, and I still think he has some juice, but just I don't think they'll be able to get anything going.
00:51:24
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
00:51:26
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms. I mean, I saw, I saw he was going to retire.
00:51:28
Ninja
No qualms.
00:51:28
Anna
Thank you.
00:51:30
Dakota Zeigler
He said he would retire and drink on a beach somewhere if he was traded anywhere else. So you think that at least, you know, Be loyal to the guy.
00:51:39
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:51:40
Dakota Zeigler
Give him something. i don't know.
00:51:42
Lord Hinkie
Sounds like he's got one foot in the ocean to me. thatli
00:51:46
Ninja
Can't coot on three, if you will.
00:51:50
Lord Hinkie
Shout out. Shout Cancun. On that Bears offense, the Kaleeb-Adunze stack did not really do well for you this week. Caleb did not have a good game because they ran the ball every time they had an opportunity to.
00:52:01
Lord Hinkie
And Adunze only had a couple catches for you. So a couple duds if you have that Roma-Adunze-Caleb Williams stack, which I do in a few leagues, and they disappointed me heavily. Kamani Vidal.
00:52:13
Lord Hinkie
showed two weeks ago that he was the number one running back with the Chargers, and this week was just irrelevant for the most part, which, to be fair, he kind of got game scripted out of the game with them being down the whole time, only got like nine carries. So I kind of want to give him an excuse, but a lot of people probably started him this week after the great week he had two weeks ago.
00:52:36
Lord Hinkie
So if you did, I am sorry. And Ninja, JCM. That commander's offense, as soon as Jaden Daniels went down, you just knew it wasn't going to be good.
00:52:44
Ninja
yeah
00:52:47
Lord Hinkie
go ahead.
00:52:47
Ninja
If we're giving Vidal a pass, I think JCM deserves a pass too. Like for game script dependence, like he was out of the game early and then Jaden Daniels got hurt and it was over.
00:52:59
Ninja
It's...
00:52:59
Lord Hinkie
i would I would love to give him a pass, but the only reason I don't think we should is because of that Cowboys defense has been notoriously bad in general and especially against running backs.
00:53:07
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:53:11
Ninja
But Marcus Mariota stinks.
00:53:15
Lord Hinkie
It's fair. It's fair, but I also feel like it's 50-50.
00:53:19
Ninja
I think you're right, but I'm just fighting for my guy. So...
00:53:22
Lord Hinkie
That's fair. I appreciate that. And then George Kittle, the obvious goose egg this week, came in. just Just sit out another week, buddy, if you're not 100% there. you know Don't tease all of us fantasy owners who throw you in your lineup and then you go out there and you don't even have a reception.
00:53:37
Lord Hinkie
Sucks to see. Suck to watch because I played him in a lot of leagues and I lost by a few points in a lot of leagues. And it's solely because of George Kittle. And yes, I am better.
00:53:50
Ninja
yeah
00:53:50
Lord Hinkie
In case you're wondering. But I think that finishes up our duds or our bads this week and our goods and our bads. I feel like I've been talking a while, but I'm going to continue to talk because we have some injuries to run through.
00:54:02
Lord Hinkie
a lot of injuries this week that kind of you know ruined a few lineups. Big one, Mike Evans got carted off the field on Monday Night Football. I'm sure you guys all saw it, but looks like or as of now, he is Broke his collarbone. Yes. Hit me with that sad music.
00:54:16
Dakota Zeigler
I got you.
00:54:17
Lord Hinkie
He has broken his collarbone. He is put on IR. I do think he'll return this season from what I've heard, but it won't be until later. Not good for that Tampa Bay wide receiver room that just continues to be depleted.
00:54:30
Lord Hinkie
Bryce Young is probably going to be out a week with a hamstring injury. Ninja said it earlier. He was pulled out of the game on Sunday. i think towards the end of it, I believe in the fourth quarter, but As expected for him to be out one more week this week. And the Red Rifle, Andy Dalton, would be getting the starts there. Man, I love the violence.
00:54:49
Lord Hinkie
I absolutely adore the violence and this book in this segment. It's the best. Jaden Daniels has been ruled out this week. He did leave last week's game with an injury, and he will be out again this week. So if you have any Marcus Mariota, I'd probably play him.
00:55:04
Lord Hinkie
Nico Collins suffered a concussion. Oh, my God, it's so loud. It's amazing. Nico Collins suffered a concussion Monday night football.
00:55:10
Ninja
Thank you.
00:55:12
Lord Hinkie
He'll probably be out another week as well. Bucky Irving and Chris Godwin for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are ruled out again this week. So start your Rashad White's start egg Bucas, you know, peek at your Tess Johnson's.
00:55:24
Dakota Zeigler
Tez Johnson? Maybe.
00:55:26
Lord Hinkie
I was just going to say that Zig shout at.
00:55:28
Dakota Zeigler
you
00:55:28
Lord Hinkie
And the last one, actually good positive injury in the news. So you can kind of cut those violins. Lamar Jackson finally returned to practice this week as of today.
00:55:39
Lord Hinkie
It is expected that he'll play on Sunday. And wow, we can finally start our Baltimore Ravens again.
00:55:44
Dakota Zeigler
o
00:55:44
Lord Hinkie
Whippy!
00:55:46
Ninja
I gotta say, i have every single one of these guys, minus Darren Waller, because who cares? Every single one of these guys is on my team in multiple, multiple places.
00:55:57
Ninja
And i I'm doing bad right now. It's not a good week.
00:56:02
Lord Hinkie
It's not going well.
00:56:04
Ninja
It's not good. I'm in danger, if you will.
00:56:06
Lord Hinkie
It's fair. I'm in danger. You're like the dog sitting in the burning house meme.
00:56:12
Ninja
yeah
00:56:12
Lord Hinkie
I love that. Yeah, you're just sitting on your chair and you're like, it everything's okay.
00:56:16
Ninja
Everything's fine.
00:56:16
Lord Hinkie
and everything and Yeah, everything's burning around you. Before we head into breaking down this week, which there is not a lot of games, and the main reason there's not a lot of games this week is because this week is by-mageddon, people.
00:56:29
Lord Hinkie
There are one, two, three, four, five, six teams on by this week. So you sit in all your Arizona Cardinals, Trey McBride's are out of your lineup,
00:56:35
Dakota Zeigler
Thank
00:56:39
Lord Hinkie
Detroit Lions, which is a big one. None of them should be in their lineup this week. They are on by Jacksonville Jaguars, the Las Vegas Raiders, the LA Rams, and the Seattle Seahawks are all on bys this week.
00:56:51
Lord Hinkie
A lot of big-time names not going to be in their lineup this week. No JSNs, no Travis Hunters, no Jameer Gibbs, no Amara St. Browns, no Trey McBrides, no Ashton Genties.
00:57:03
Lord Hinkie
And that being paired with all the players that are injured this week and going into into next week, we're going to have to be talking about some crappy dog crap players this week to maybe get in your lineup. So pay attention to this one because going talking about some deep, deep cuts.
00:57:20
Lord Hinkie
Fellas, anything to say before we get into this week's preview?
00:57:25
Ninja
We're not just fellas anymore. You know what i mean? This is a special pod, Gary.
00:57:29
Lord Hinkie
I got to get used to it.
00:57:29
Ninja
Watch that language there.
00:57:31
Lord Hinkie
I'm sorry.
00:57:31
Anna
I'm here.
00:57:32
Lord Hinkie
um'm I'm sorry.

She's one of the guys. She's a bro. Shout out.
00:57:38
Dakota Zeigler
It
00:57:40
Lord Hinkie
Zig, hit me with that transition. It'll a podcast. Wow. Would you look at that? Look at us guys being so smooth.
00:57:45
Dakota Zeigler
was queued up and ready. All
00:57:47
Lord Hinkie
Zig was ready for it too.
00:57:48
Ninja
i got I gotta say, Junior, you were better.
00:57:48
Lord Hinkie
was giving me the signal. We're producing. at Yeah.
00:57:53
Ninja
You were better. I gotta say it.
00:57:54
Lord Hinkie
Isn't it smoother?
00:57:54
Dakota Zeigler
all right, he's muted, and we're going to keep moving on.
00:57:54
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:57:57
Ninja
yeah
00:57:57
Lord Hinkie
All right. So going into this week, week eight already, gentlemen, or ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry.
00:58:03
Anna
Thank you.
00:58:03
Lord Hinkie
I'm going to work on it. I mean, I am, week eight already.
00:58:05
Dakota Zeigler
going to start calling Davian and I, ladies and gentlemen. now
00:58:08
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:58:08
Ninja
yeah
00:58:09
Anna
I'm never coming back.
00:58:11
Ninja
yeah
00:58:16
Lord Hinkie
news early on is that JJ McCarthy might be back for this week. Haven't heard anything right now. It might be Carson Wentz might be JJ McCarthy. Who knows? but me personally, i like a bounce back week for the chargers. I think they kind of get right against the Vikings here.
00:58:30
Lord Hinkie
Ninja, do you want to break down who we're playing on this Chargers offense? I feel like I've been talking so long.
00:58:35
Ninja
Yeah, buddy, I feel bad, but that, you know, that's the duty of host. That's why I get paid the big bucks. You know what I mean?
00:58:39
Lord Hinkie
I know. The silky smooth voice needs a break.
00:58:45
Ninja
Yeah, it's going to be Justin Herbert, Lad McConkie, if you will. What a stud. He'll be back this week. Keaton Elton, I think, is an okay start. Quinton Johnston is eh, in my opinion.
00:58:57
Ninja
And Gadsden, I think you have to start if you have him, especially because it's by McGeddon. I don't know if you have a choice. I think you do have to start him. And then for the... Vikings, Jay Jets, I think Jordan Mason is an okay start. I don't love it.
00:59:13
Ninja
Addison is good, but I don't think he's going to produce as well as he did last week. Expect Jay Jettas to get back up and running in that offense. And I think it's Carson Wentz this week.
00:59:24
Ninja
That's what I've been hearing last. It's going to be Carson Wentz for one more week.
00:59:28
Dakota Zeigler
Yep. You're right there. whence is starting JJ is, uh, questionable, but even if he's acted, he's emergency quarterback three. I agree with everything there. huge is a boomer bust option. Like he always is.
00:59:42
Dakota Zeigler
I, this Gadsden kid was one we talked about, Gary, especially brought up. I remember during the draft process and everything, uh,
00:59:50
Lord Hinkie
Wow.
00:59:51
Dakota Zeigler
I think this needs to be a guy you're starting. Like Damien said, this is by Magetan. You're going to be starting a lot of gross players, but this one's one I'm excited to watch, actually.
01:00:01
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I agree with that. I think it's going to be a good football game. I kind of hoped JJ McCarthy was going to be back this week, but I guess it is what it is. And I don't know if you listened to podcast before, but I think I got to ask you question quick.
01:00:13
Lord Hinkie
Does JJ McCarthy have the most punchable face you've ever seen in a human being?
01:00:18
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:00:20
Anna
No, but does he not look like his coach? Is that not the weirdest thing ever?
01:00:24
Lord Hinkie
He does kind of look like Harbaugh a little bit.
01:00:26
Dakota Zeigler
Whoa.
01:00:27
Ninja
Yo.
01:00:28
Lord Hinkie
I've never thought about that.
01:00:30
Anna
Father, son, I'm telling
01:00:30
Dakota Zeigler
Long lost son?
01:00:32
Lord Hinkie
Whoa.
01:00:34
Ninja
Do I need to punch Kevin O'Connell now too?
01:00:34
Lord Hinkie
That's crazy.
01:00:37
Lord Hinkie
Oh, I said Harbaugh. Yeah, I met Kevin O'Connell.
01:00:39
Anna
yeah I was, yeah. No, tell me, look look at a picture side by side and tell me that's not father, son.
01:00:44
Lord Hinkie
Wow.
01:00:45
Dakota Zeigler
on it.
01:00:45
Lord Hinkie
it's The chiseled jaw.
01:00:45
Dakota Zeigler
It's coming through the group chat.
01:00:47
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:00:48
Anna
It is.
01:00:49
Ninja
what's oh What's his name?
01:00:49
Anna
Like, it's crazy.
01:00:51
Ninja
He's on Golden State now. What's his name? Jimmy Butler. It's Jimmy Butler and Michael Jordan. Side by side, same guy. Swear to God.
01:00:59
Anna
Like, when they go over and, like, after he does a good play and he, like, hugs him, I'm like, yeah, you would hug him. That's your son.
01:01:05
Ninja
Thanks, Dad.
01:01:06
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:01:07
Anna
Yeah, that makes sense. Thanks, Dad.
01:01:09
Lord Hinkie
never thought of that but i don't think I'll be able to unsee it anymore at all but yeah
01:01:11
Anna
You can't once you see it. Like, it's, yeah. Or like they're talking and it's, it doesn't look like a coach and player. It's a father-son conversation and I, it doesn't look right, but.
01:01:20
Lord Hinkie
that's so funny that's so funny
01:01:24
Anna
yeah
01:01:25
Lord Hinkie
But yeah, I agree with you guys for the most part. I do think Kamani Vidal is probably a decent start this week for the Chargers. think he kind of has a bounce back week. And Minnesota is usually not great against the one run, the one.
Game Previews and Predictions
01:01:37
Ninja
Ha ha!
01:01:38
Lord Hinkie
But obviously they played well against Saquon Barkley last week.
01:01:38
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:01:40
Lord Hinkie
So it is kind of hit or miss. Uh, next game dolphins at the Atlanta Falcons. I have a note in here again. How does McDaniel still have a job? It doesn't make sense to me. I guess they just can't figure out who to get it.
01:01:53
Lord Hinkie
If they can't get anybody else out there. But with that being said, if they continue to roll him out there, I love the Arizona, or Arizona Falcons, man. I am just screwing up all over this podcast, man.
01:02:05
Lord Hinkie
The Atlanta Falcons. I love all the Falcons. B. John, Drake London, Kyle Pitts. I think I even like Algier this week as a good running back option because of how bad that run defense is for the Miami Dolphins. But any qualms?
01:02:20
Lord Hinkie
Are we starting Michael Penix?
01:02:23
Ninja
no no also no
01:02:25
Dakota Zeigler
I don't think I can. Don't think I can.
01:02:28
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he's looked kind of rough so far this year.
01:02:31
Dakota Zeigler
Do they put Kirk Cousins in at some point?
01:02:34
Lord Hinkie
I've heard that a lot, but I don't think you can go back to Penix if you go back to Kirk.
01:02:39
Dakota Zeigler
and That's the thing. I think once you make the transition, you're kind of put yourself in a terrible situation. But Penix needs to step it up.
01:02:44
Lord Hinkie
yeah
01:02:48
Ninja
oh my god
01:02:49
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:02:50
Lord Hinkie
Oh my god They're the same person
01:02:52
Dakota Zeigler
What?
01:02:52
Ninja
It's the same guy.
01:02:52
Dakota Zeigler
What did miss? Oh, you're looking at the thing. Yeah, I just sent the pictures of Kevin O'Connell and JJ McCarthy, and it's scary.
01:03:01
Ninja
Hang on.
01:03:01
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:03:02
Ninja
Why does Ken O'Connell look a little bit like the Grinch?
01:03:02
Dakota Zeigler
yeah but
01:03:05
Ninja
Like before he does that real big smile?
01:03:06
Lord Hinkie
Oh my god He's Jim Carrey
01:03:09
Dakota Zeigler
it's
01:03:10
Ninja
What is going on?
01:03:11
Lord Hinkie
Holy This is amazing.
01:03:12
Dakota Zeigler
son.
01:03:13
Ninja
Put that off my screen.
01:03:13
Lord Hinkie
Just for a little...
01:03:14
Ninja
I don't want that. I don't want that.
01:03:15
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:03:15
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, for the podcast listeners, there is a photo of J.J.
01:03:17
Dakota Zeigler
and I'm so glad you brought this.
01:03:19
Lord Hinkie
McCarthy and Kevin O'Connell in our Google Doc. And yes, Kevin O'Connell does have J.J. McCarthy's hair edited on top of his head, and they look they look like the exact same person. It's scary.
01:03:29
Lord Hinkie
But I do want to clock J.J. McCarthy right between the eyes. So you better get rid of that picture right now. For the Miami Dolphins side of things...
01:03:35
Dakota Zeigler
leave it Leave it in there.
01:03:35
Ninja
good
01:03:37
Dakota Zeigler
I'm going to post it on social, so leave it in there.
01:03:39
Lord Hinkie
For the Miami Dolphins side of things, I think Devon HN's a good start, and really that's it.
01:03:39
Anna
That's fair.
01:03:44
Lord Hinkie
Waller's on the IR. Waddle is hit or miss. Tua stinks. Is there any other Dolphin we're playing this week?
01:03:53
Ninja
Malik Washington is a name but don't start him unless you really have to it'd be gross but it's who you have
01:03:57
Lord Hinkie
That'd be so gross.
01:03:58
Dakota Zeigler
Yep.
01:04:01
Lord Hinkie
True.
01:04:02
Dakota Zeigler
Moving on.
01:04:03
Lord Hinkie
Moving on. Bears at the Ravens. Lamar.
01:04:07
Ninja
Fellas, is this game of the week?
01:04:09
Lord Hinkie
it It definitely could be.
01:04:09
Ninja
No joke.
01:04:11
Lord Hinkie
If Lamar is playing, this is going to be a great football game.
01:04:11
Dakota Zeigler
If that's the key.
01:04:17
Lord Hinkie
If Lamar is playing, I really like the Ravens offense as well against the Bears. And this Bears offense going going up against this disheveled Baltimore Ravens defense. I love the over in this game, and I love all the points if Lamar is playing.
01:04:31
Lord Hinkie
Ninja, do you want to break down the Chicago offense? are we starting, everybody?
01:04:35
Ninja
You're starting everybody. And even your common on guy shares, guess what? It's by Mageddon. Throw him in a flex.
01:04:41
Lord Hinkie
Try that.
01:04:42
Ninja
Why don't you? You know, all that. But yes, you start everyone. You start Kaleeb. You start your Dunze. You start your DJ more. i don't even hate a little Luther Burden shout if you're desperate. I don't hate a Colson Loveland shout if you're desperate.
01:04:57
Ninja
Or a sneaky little Kyle Menungay, who I will bet as a single touchdown scorer this week, just not in my but portion of any parlay, just by myself alone. But I think for what you said about the Ravens and their abysmal defense, I do think it turns around.
01:05:08
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:05:14
Ninja
Like, this is a talented unit when they're healthy. And I think we're finally going to start to see that. They just had the bye. I think we're going to see a lot more guys active and healthy. So I look for this unit to be a lot better than what they were.
01:05:28
Ninja
Is it going to be much better? i don't know. But I think we should be expecting to not just start everybody against them anymore. You have to, you know, have your matchups.
01:05:38
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, you kind of have to respect them a little bit more.
01:05:41
Ninja
Yes, because that defense is good, in my opinion.
01:05:42
Lord Hinkie
Gotcha.
01:05:45
Lord Hinkie
Gotcha. I'm going to call my shot. I think this is a cheeky Colston Loveland week. I think he gets in the end zone. I think he has a pretty good game. I like him a lot in this matchup. Zig, do you like anybody on this Ravens offense, especially if Lamar is playing?
01:05:59
Dakota Zeigler
Derrick Henry, and that's about it.
01:06:01
Lord Hinkie
Hmm.
01:06:02
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, I'm not...
01:06:04
Lord Hinkie
Never a big Zay Flowers guy.
01:06:04
Dakota Zeigler
Lamar's first week back? No. Just not my type of... Not that I'm starting, you know, in fantasy leagues. The tight end situation still so icky there.
01:06:15
Dakota Zeigler
I would love to see Isaiah Likely get some more. Rashad Bateman's always good for a deep bomb. Just... They got a lot and not enough at the same time to be able to spread the ball out, so...
01:06:28
Lord Hinkie
Fair. I like Lamar. If Lamar plays in this game, I like him in this matchup. Love Derrick Henry with Lamar back in the lineup. Zay Flowers I think is definitely startable. I don't think I'm starting one of the tight ends, Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely.
01:06:41
Lord Hinkie
Probably sit in them for now, especially seeing how you know Lamar plays coming back off being missing, what, three weeks now, four weeks? But, yeah, I think if he plays, I like this offense. I love this game too, like Ninja said.
01:06:53
Lord Hinkie
Sneaky game of the week. speaking of probably the game of the not week or not the game of the week, uh, jets at the bangles. Ew.
01:07:03
Lord Hinkie
Gross.
01:07:06
Dakota Zeigler
I clicked it.
01:07:06
Lord Hinkie
Zig stinks.
01:07:06
Ninja
Game of the Now week is so funny.
01:07:06
Dakota Zeigler
It didn't go.
01:07:07
Lord Hinkie
His production.
01:07:07
Dakota Zeigler
I clicked it. It didn't go.
01:07:08
Lord Hinkie
God, it's so bad. Zig's got 10 different things he's doing down here. He's 3d printing something for school. He's texting this other person.
01:07:14
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:07:15
Lord Hinkie
He's not even involved at all. What is going on down here? Anyways, jets at the bangles.
01:07:19
Dakota Zeigler
Actually, at the current at the current moment, my iPad with the notes or is dying, so I'm trying to get it to transfer to my computer. That's slower than I'll get out. So that's literally what I'm trying. I did click the button.
01:07:32
Dakota Zeigler
It did not register, so I actually i was on it. It did not work. Use your air.
01:07:37
Lord Hinkie
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
01:07:39
Dakota Zeigler
Use your air. Yeah.
01:07:40
Lord Hinkie
But anyways, moving on. The Jets at Bengals. This Jets team stinks. I don't want anything to do with it. Nothing for it for fantasy. And man, they stink as a NFL franchise. I think the Bengals kind of stink as well. But I think their offense probably going to play well enough this week to make me kind of care.
01:07:58
Lord Hinkie
I think this, I have a question here I kind of want to throw to you guys. Is this Bengals defense bad enough to where we might actually care about any of these Jets players?
01:08:09
Lord Hinkie
Breeze Hall, no Breeze Halls, no Tyrod Taylor at QB.
01:08:10
Ninja
No. No.
01:08:15
Dakota Zeigler
Hold on.
01:08:15
Ninja
so So this is going to be a cheeky high-scoring game only because the Bengals' defense is bad.
01:08:16
Dakota Zeigler
ahan
01:08:21
Ninja
But is that going to be concentrated into a single player or two? I doubt it. I don't think they're that efficient, especially with Tyrod Taylor. So I can't say for certain that Brees Hall is going have a good game.
01:08:35
Ninja
I think it's going to be gross. I mean, if you have Mason Taylor, now's a go against the Bengals defense if you want to start him. But other than that, man, it's gross.
01:08:43
Lord Hinkie
Shut up.
01:08:46
Lord Hinkie
It's so nasty.
01:08:46
Ninja
It's so gross.
01:08:48
Lord Hinkie
I think I'm probably i'm probably starting Brees Hall in this matchup, and i'm slightly I slightly think he's going to have a pretty good game, but other than that, nothing.
01:08:59
Lord Hinkie
Tyrod Taylor if you have to, because it's by McGeddon, and there's a lot QB injuries this week, but
01:09:04
Dakota Zeigler
are Are you starting Marcus Mariota or Tyrod Taylor?
01:09:09
Lord Hinkie
that's disgusting.
01:09:11
Dakota Zeigler
i took It's a legitimate question this week, and that's...
01:09:12
Ninja
Neither. I'll lose the week.
01:09:13
Dakota Zeigler
I
01:09:14
Lord Hinkie
i'll go I'll go Tyrod Taylor on there.
01:09:15
Ninja
Put them both on the bench.
01:09:16
Dakota Zeigler
who's doing
01:09:17
Ninja
Don't worry about it.
01:09:18
Dakota Zeigler
just
01:09:18
Lord Hinkie
I'll go Tyrod Taylor because I have to.
01:09:21
Dakota Zeigler
i think that's the right move just because the Bengals' defense is so bad. and and they're goingnna And the Bengals are going to put points, so...
01:09:24
Lord Hinkie
Just match up.
01:09:27
Lord Hinkie
They're going to have to throw.
01:09:27
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Yep.
01:09:29
Lord Hinkie
yeah For the Bengals side of things, obviously you're starting Jamar Chase. We didn't have to say it. Tee Higgins I think is a good start. I was kind of worried about him with Flacco and if Flacco would just kind of hyper-target Jamar Chase and not Tee Higgins. But he got in the end zone last week, and I think that's going to continue to happen. So I like Tee Higgins as well.
01:09:46
Lord Hinkie
And jammarchi Jamar Chase, Chase Brown, I think is a pretty good start as well against this pretty bad Jets defense. So any qualms there? Joe Flacco, are we playing Joe Flacco?
01:09:58
Dakota Zeigler
You probably have to this week. Again, probably just have to. I'd rather start Flacco than any of the other names I met just mentioned. So, Jamar down there somewhere.
01:10:08
Lord Hinkie
Chuck it down there. Moving on, next matchup, we have the Bills at the Panthers. Give me the Carolina Panthers. I'm just kidding. I do like the Carolina Panthers at home this year. They've been playing very well. But I think there's a Bills team coming off a bye, kind of getting things right after their loss to the – who they lose to on – Was it the – no, they lost to the Patriots, and then they lost to somebody else. Anyways, I think the Bills coming off a bye are going to roll this week.
01:10:37
Lord Hinkie
I love the Bills a lot. Obviously, you're starting your Josh Allens. You're starting your James Cooks. Don Kinkade, think, is an every week starter for in tight end, especially during and by McGinnon this week. But any qualms, at ladies and gentlemen, for the Bills? Any other Bills you're playing? Do we care about a wide receiver?
01:10:52
Lord Hinkie
Hmm.
01:10:53
Dakota Zeigler
Not at this point.
01:10:54
Ninja
Nope.
01:10:57
Lord Hinkie
No Josh Palmers, no Keon Colmans.
01:11:01
Dakota Zeigler
Nope.
01:11:01
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:11:01
Lord Hinkie
I think your so your silence speaks loud enough for me.
01:11:01
Ninja
Nope, nope, hard no. Hard no.
01:11:06
Lord Hinkie
On the Panther side, Xavier Liget, do we have to just kind of ride the hot hand here? I feel like we have to. and The only other names, yeah yeah I'll give it to you in a second, but Tep...
01:11:11
Ninja
Yeah, baby. I'm so excited.
01:11:17
Lord Hinkie
Ted McMillan, you have to start. I think he's an every week starter. Bryce Young is probably going be out. I don't want to start Andy Dalton, but I think you there's worse matchups there for sure. And the running back situation, I think it's just gotten gross. Rico Dattle versus Chuba Hubbard.
01:11:32
Lord Hinkie
I think they're going to kind of vulture each other. I like Dattle more, but I think they're still going to give Chuba Hubbard carries just because they have to. But back to it. Xavier Leggett, every week starter at this point.
01:11:44
Ninja
I agree. And like I know you were saying that sarcastically, but like I'm there for it all the way. and when you said, give me Carolina, just kidding. I'm not.
01:11:54
Lord Hinkie
Thank you.
01:11:54
Ninja
I think this is going to be a lot closer of a game than you think. I don't think the Bills come first game back off a bye on the road, have as smooth of a start as you want.
01:12:06
Ninja
But, like, I think the Bills win, but I think it's going be closer than you would think. And as far as Leggett goes, yeah, especially on Bi-Mageddon, he's a flex option all day long.
01:12:19
Ninja
So I don't want to, like, what else do I need to say? Start your Xavier Leggett. I've been saying it for a year and a half now.
01:12:25
Lord Hinkie
All the XL. Love me some XL, and I know his ninja does Ninja does as well. Zig, any qualms?
01:12:32
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms. I'm very curious what the spread's going to be because like Damian said, I think this is going to be a little bit of a closer game than expected.
01:12:40
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, Carolina's been playing incredible at home this year. 3-0, I believe. So,
01:12:44
Dakota Zeigler
And this is this is, you know, you got the red rifle down there. You know, Bryce Young's out. I mean, Tett McMillan's down there somewhere. XL's down there somewhere. He's not going to be afraid to sling it if he has to, and they're going to be down.
01:12:58
Lord Hinkie
Love to see it. Moving on here, 49ers at the Texans. The 49ers just keep finding a way to win, winning on Sunday Night Football against the Falcons.
01:13:08
Lord Hinkie
Mack Jones continues to get the job done. CMC's a stud, as always. Playing him every week, no question. George Kittle, fellas, are we rolling him back out this week?
01:13:15
Ninja
Uh-huh.
01:13:19
Lord Hinkie
Zig, I know you're a big George Kittle guy. Any fear from the dud he went up last week? Are we just rolling him out with full confidence again?
01:13:27
Dakota Zeigler
Kittle's guy. I'm rolling them out full confidence. I don't know if you saw the presser afterwards. He was talking about, you know, in practice, he thought I was going to score like have 150 yards and three touchdowns type of deal.
01:13:38
Dakota Zeigler
And then they didn't use them at all during the game. So I think it was a trial run. See how it goes. But Kittle, knowing knowing the guy just from videos I've seen and like, I think I believe I follow him on Instagram stuff like that.
01:13:51
Dakota Zeigler
That guy's ready to play. There's again, That team's so injured right now, they need everyone they can get. So I'm running them out.
01:13:58
Lord Hinkie
I feel like he's always ready to go. i feel like if you saw him in like a parking lot, he's juiced up. He's ready to go. Whatever you need to do, George Kittle is ready to roll.
01:14:07
Dakota Zeigler
He's the Cam Scadabo of the tight end position.
01:14:10
Lord Hinkie
100%. mean, I've seen that guy do wrestling things, and it's just he's he's just an athletic freak.
01:14:20
Dakota Zeigler
He was... Are you like referring... He was on WWE before.
01:14:23
Lord Hinkie
Yes, like he like wrestled in matches.
01:14:24
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, yeah.
01:14:26
Lord Hinkie
He's done some crazy stuff. on the wide receivers for the Niners play, who's healthy, I would say. And even then, I don't even know. Pierce Hall, it sounds like he missed practice again this week. So he's probably going to be out another week.
01:14:41
Lord Hinkie
Hendrick Bourne. i don't know.
01:14:43
Ninja
Ehhhhhh!
01:14:43
Lord Hinkie
It just feels, it just feels, eh, you know what i mean? Like, I don't think I want to play anybody. And then QB position. i' I haven't heard anything on Brock Purdy. Have you guys heard anything on Brock Purdy?
01:14:54
Dakota Zeigler
I haven't. I'm looking right now as we speak. So continue and I'll get back to you.
01:14:57
Lord Hinkie
Sounds like it's probably going to back Jones again this week. So i don't know. i CMC, George Kittle, call it a day after that. For the Texans side, Nico Collins is probably going to be out this week. He's still in concussion protocol.
01:15:10
Lord Hinkie
So it's looking like he's probably going to be out. But Ninja, i want to throw it to you. Jaden Higgins time, buddy. he Is he ready to roll?
01:15:18
Ninja
Maybe. i just know I'm losing this week because I'm Nico Collins in literally every league I think I know I'm a part of. So it's an L for me. But yes, this is the time to see what Jaden Higgins is made of.
01:15:31
Ninja
Hopefully Jaden Higgins is a full go. I know he was, like, snap percentage-wise, like, not really a guy. But this week he should be a guy. This is a week where I don't start him, but, like, I'm going to be tuning into this game big time.
01:15:46
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, definitely going a fun game to watch. Zig, are you excited for anybody on this Texas offense? Are we playing CJ Stroud? Are we playing Woody Marks? Do we care about Dalton Schultz after his good week last week? Any other tight air Titan Texan you're playing this week?
01:16:03
Dakota Zeigler
Nope.
01:16:04
Lord Hinkie
Fair.
01:16:06
Dakota Zeigler
Jalen Noel is maybe the biggest beneficiary here in my eyes, but other than that, I still don't really want to start him.
01:16:06
Lord Hinkie
All right, I guess we can move on. Oh, go ahead.
01:16:16
Ninja
Hit that ill button one more time.
01:16:16
Lord Hinkie
i had
01:16:20
Lord Hinkie
I have heard that Christian – I wouldn't say it's over Jaden Higgins.
01:16:20
Ninja
Over Jaden Higgins, you bum.
01:16:25
Lord Hinkie
They're complimentary like they always were.
01:16:26
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.
01:16:28
Lord Hinkie
I have heard that Christian Kirk is probably going to be out as well for this Texans offense. So if that ends up being the case, they're just going to throw out both those rookies and see what happens.
01:16:36
Ninja
If that's the case, Zag, I take back everything I said. Complimentary rookies.
01:16:40
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:16:41
Ninja
Let's go.
01:16:41
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:16:42
Ninja
i didn't know the Christian Kirk part.
01:16:44
Lord Hinkie
Instead of the ill bit, we need to have a thank you.
01:16:46
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:16:47
Anna
Thank you.
01:16:47
Lord Hinkie
We're going to throw that in there.
01:16:48
Ninja
yeah
01:16:50
Lord Hinkie
next Moving on, next game, Browns at the Patriots. Two of my favorite players to watch in this game. We're going be watching Drake May sling the ball for the Patriots. On the other side, seeing Quinshot Judkins run all over that offense, run over that defense.
01:17:05
Lord Hinkie
With that being said, This game screams under. It screams like 13-7, you know, 10-6.
01:17:09
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
01:17:13
Lord Hinkie
Like, it's going be a gross, hard-nosed, basher-teeth-in football game, and I'm kind of excited to watch that as well. But I think we can kind of make this pretty quick fantasy-wise. For the Browns, Quinshot Judkins, Harold Fannin, call it a day for the Browns, probably. Any qualms?
01:17:32
Dakota Zeigler
no qual
01:17:32
Ninja
No clones.
01:17:33
Lord Hinkie
And for the Patriots side of things, Drake May, obviously. Do we want to play any of those wide receivers?
01:17:40
Ninja
Not unless you have to.
01:17:42
Lord Hinkie
Nah. Double H, maybe Hunter Henry. Zig, that's another one you missed from last week's podcast.
01:17:46
Dakota Zeigler
Double H.
01:17:46
Ninja
how about how about a little bit of the bootay?
01:17:50
Lord Hinkie
Booty! Booty!
01:17:51
Dakota Zeigler
Hey, we all love a little booty.
01:17:52
Ninja
Bootay!
01:17:54
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, Kayshawn Booty caught another big touchdown last week. So if you're going to pick any wide receiver for that team, I'd probably be saying Kayshawn. Running back-wise, ew.
01:18:05
Ninja
Where is Travion Henderson?
01:18:07
Lord Hinkie
Please, just give him to me.
01:18:08
Ninja
Guys.
01:18:08
Dakota Zeigler
As the Travion Hennison hater too, you know that's bad.
01:18:11
Lord Hinkie
Give him to me.
01:18:12
Ninja
Hang on.
01:18:12
Dakota Zeigler
You know that's bad.
01:18:12
Lord Hinkie
That's really sad.
01:18:12
Ninja
I got him in a trade back. I'm no longer a hater because he's on my roster.
01:18:16
Dakota Zeigler
but
01:18:16
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, we talked about this.
01:18:16
Ninja
But I'm now a believer in you guys.
01:18:17
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:18:20
Ninja
but What's going on?
01:18:20
Lord Hinkie
yeah We already talked about this because now you're going to use Trayvon Henderson not performing against us somehow, and it's going to make us look bad, which sucks.
01:18:25
Ninja
Thousand percent. Thousand percent. Yep.
01:18:29
Lord Hinkie
Lose-lose for everybody involved.
01:18:29
Ninja
Yep.
01:18:31
Lord Hinkie
Hate to see it. Moving on. Giants at the Eagles. Man, I hope we can talk about this game forever, but we should probably keep it short. I think this is Bird's Revenge Week, and it's got written all over it.
01:18:43
Lord Hinkie
I think it's going to be built to AS against this New York Giants team.
01:18:44
Ninja
Say it. Say it.
01:18:49
Ninja
twenty thirty God, I love that confidence.
01:18:51
Dakota Zeigler
It's already written down.
01:18:52
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, already got it in there.
01:18:52
Dakota Zeigler
but
01:18:53
Lord Hinkie
I think it's going to be a great game. Eagles at home against this Giants team after just beating them, and the Giants just losing a heartbreaker in Denver. i i really think the Eagles will appear, and I don't think it's close.
01:19:09
Lord Hinkie
I am.
01:19:10
Ninja
i love that com
01:19:10
Lord Hinkie
I haven't been confident in this team in weeks, and I have a lot of confidence in them this week, especially against the Giants.
01:19:17
Ninja
Love it.
01:19:19
Anna
Do you think Brandon Graham will play since he's back?
01:19:21
Lord Hinkie
Ooh.
01:19:22
Dakota Zeigler
oh
01:19:22
Ninja
That's a good shout.
01:19:22
Lord Hinkie
Shout out.
01:19:24
Anna
He's allowed to play as soon as this weekend.
01:19:27
Lord Hinkie
Yes. So I like him a lot. Come back. To be honest, I was a little surprised he came out of retirement because, man, he looked like he should have retired probably two years ago, for being honest.
01:19:38
Ninja
I mean, he's got to be better than what we have.
01:19:39
Lord Hinkie
I think. Yes.
01:19:41
Ninja
He saw how bad it was and was like, I got you guys.
01:19:41
Lord Hinkie
Well, that's the thing.
01:19:45
Lord Hinkie
Yes, he actually has two arms and two legs, so he will play defensive end for the Eagles this week. I do think he gets some snaps in there. I don't think he plays a lot, but I think he gets in there. But the main thing he does is he's going to be incredible in that locker room for those young defensive ends, and he's going to be great on the sidelines, keeping everybody involved, keeping everybody focused because that's the kind of guy he is.
01:20:00
Anna
Thank you.
01:20:06
Lord Hinkie
He's a big locker room guy, good aura around him, if you will, for you Gen Zers. But yes, I love Brandon Graham coming back this week. So Chad and Hannah there.
01:20:14
Ninja
I hated that statement.
01:20:14
Dakota Zeigler
i i hit
01:20:15
Ninja
Cut that from the podcast. What the f-
01:20:17
Dakota Zeigler
Please do.
01:20:18
Lord Hinkie
What?
01:20:19
Dakota Zeigler
that That was awful. I do want to say that I think that the the locker room...
01:20:21
Ninja
Cut that.
01:20:25
Lord Hinkie
I'm trendy. I'm hip.
01:20:27
Dakota Zeigler
I'm going to mute him now.
01:20:28
Lord Hinkie
Come on.
01:20:29
Dakota Zeigler
Goodness.
01:20:30
Lord Hinkie
What are you talking about?
01:20:33
Dakota Zeigler
I want to say like the locker room aspect is, I think, forgotten about sometimes for us fantasy players.
01:20:34
Ninja
oh
01:20:41
Dakota Zeigler
You see these guys going to different teams, you're like, that makes no sense. But like the locker room aspect for some of these teams, especially like when you have younger...
01:20:48
Anna
Bye.
01:20:49
Dakota Zeigler
The Eagles are a fairly young and very impressionable team. So if you can get them started on the right foot, having someone...
01:20:55
Lord Hinkie
Impressionable.
01:20:56
Dakota Zeigler
the
01:20:56
Lord Hinkie
You sound like a kindergarten teacher.
01:20:57
Dakota Zeigler
i I am.
01:20:58
Anna
yes
01:20:59
Ninja
to
01:21:00
Dakota Zeigler
But having someone that can mold them and teach them new things. So you have a really young and very a talented team, but having a leader, someone to guide them, someone to give them some more information, tips and tricks type of deal and just mold them that could make this team even scarier.
01:21:19
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, breaking it down for the Eagles side of things, as always, I think you're starting all the offensive players, Saquon, A.J. Brown, Devontae Smith, Jalen Hurts, Dallas Goddard, you have to play them all.
01:21:30
Lord Hinkie
A few of them probably won't have a good week this week because there really is just not enough mouths to feed in that offense, but
01:21:35
Anna
you
01:21:37
Lord Hinkie
You have to play them all because you never know who it's going to be. And then for the Giants side of things, he's still starting his game, Scataboos. I think Jackson Dart's a pretty decent start because, A, I think they're going to be down in the game or they're going to be throwing it and having to come back. But also, B, the Eagles do not play well against rushing quarterbacks, and he kind of showed that in their first matchup two weeks ago on Thursday Night Football. So if you have Dart, I'm probably be playing him.
01:22:01
Lord Hinkie
And then Theo Johnson, got to play him, I think, in this matchup.
01:22:06
Ninja
Yes.
01:22:06
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
01:22:08
Ninja
No qualms.
01:22:10
Ninja
I see Anna's face right now and she's disgusted. You have to start the Eagles only because you're not sitting them.
01:22:17
Lord Hinkie
You have to.
01:22:17
Ninja
It's not good, but you have to start them. I saw the face and I just had to clarify. No, it's not pretty, but you have to do it.
01:22:26

Dakota Zeigler
Get the Indy one. Get the old Indy one.

01:26:06
Dakota Zeigler

This one needs to be cut out.
01:26:15
Dakota Zeigler
We don't record videos.
01:26:17

Oh, that's right. You can't look forward.
01:26:19

Lord Hinkie
That's amazing. That's so good.
01:26:26
Lord Hinkie
That's awesome.
01:26:27
Anna
Yeah, that's my only eagle's apparel.
01:26:30
Lord Hinkie
But if anyone's going to, if any NFL player is going to listen to this podcast, it should be Kylan Granson because yes, we are the only podcast that is talking about him nowadays. Shout out Kylan Granson.
01:26:40
Ninja
First off, Anna, that's the best t-shirt I've ever seen in my entire life. I thought I was wearing a good one going in Yours topped it. So I just switched to the jersey.
01:26:48
Anna
It's free from sam downtown and state college.
01:26:51
Lord Hinkie
yeah
01:26:51
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:26:52
Ninja
yeah well Shout out.
01:26:56
Lord Hinkie
All right, ladies and gents, let's move on here.
Saints vs Buccaneers Analysis
01:26:58
Lord Hinkie
The next matchup we have is the Bucs at the Saints. I'm going to call it right here. I'm going to call my shot. I think the Saints get a cheeky win here in New Orleans against this Buccaneers team.
01:27:09
Lord Hinkie
Bucs are just depleted. So many injuries on that offense and that defense as well. And I think the Saints aren't playing too bad. They're not playing great, but they're not playing too bad a ball. I like them at home here. I think they get a sneaky upset win.
01:27:21
Lord Hinkie
Bucs are really banged up, like I said, off a short week playing Monday Night Football. I kind of like the Saints in this matchup. you guys have any qualms?
01:27:29
Ninja
No qualms. I actually want to say Spencer Rattler has been looking pretty okay as a starting quarterback. I'm not saying good, but pretty okay. And I think it's a testament to show that Tyler Shuck is dog do.
01:27:44
Ninja
You know what I mean? Just terrible. If you can't start over Spencer Rattler, rough.
01:27:50
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, that's true. For the Saints side, I think we like Chris Olave.
01:27:53
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:27:55
Lord Hinkie
Got to play him in this matchup strictly off of just he's going to get a lot of targets. And Alvin Kamara, do we play him every week just because he's Alvin Kamara?
01:28:06
Lord Hinkie
I'm asking because honestly I don't now.
01:28:09
Dakota Zeigler
Sorry, we're all all a little sidetracked over here. Alvin Kamara... You have to this week. By Mageddon, I think you have to start him.
01:28:20
Dakota Zeigler
Olave, like as well. I'm going to do a little bit deeper here because i love her ra Rashid Shahid.
01:28:24
Ninja
not going to go
01:28:30
Dakota Zeigler
I don't think he ever gets enough credit.
01:28:31
Lord Hinkie
Shout out.
01:28:33
Dakota Zeigler
He is a good wide receiver, almost on the same level as Chris Olave, I believe. So in this matchup, they're going to have to score. if I don't know if Alvin Kamara can keep up and you know be able to run the clock out and you know get enough yardage for the first down after last week. I'm starting to question that. I think you have to start him because there's no one else.
01:28:55
Dakota Zeigler
You're not starting those middle-tier guys over Alvin Kamara, but I don't know. i think they're going to have to throw it, and I think Shahid's going to be a guy that Rattler's going to look for in this matchup particularly.
01:29:04
Anna
Thank you.
01:29:06
Dakota Zeigler
particularly
01:29:07
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I think he's always a guy you can shout out because it does he catch a long touchdown pass or no? We talked about it a couple weeks ago where the one thing he's been doing this year that's been impressive is each week he's getting like four or five catches, not just like one catch and an 80-yard touchdown. It's like four or five catches, 50, 60 yards. Like he's a slightly productive fantasy player. So I think that's a good shout out. And then for the Bucs side of this team,
01:29:33
Lord Hinkie
Obviously, depends on the health. As of right now, looks like, as we said, Mike Evans is out. Chris Godwin is out. Agbuka, I think, is questionable, but he's expected to play. I'm starting Agbuka in this matchup for sure.
01:29:45
Lord Hinkie
Starting Baker because you have to. That guy's a dog, by the way. And Bucky Irving is also out. So, yes, you're Rashad White, so I'm starting. So other than that, I think that's kind of it for the Bucs side of things. Any qualms?
01:29:58
Ninja
I heard Baker has a questionable injury. I think he just got the questionable tag. So i ultimately it all spins down to Baker. If Baker isn't a go, and don't start anybody. I don't care.
01:30:11
Ninja
If Baker is a go, i like what you had to say. So it's all dependent on how good Baker is.
01:30:18
Dakota Zeigler
It's Baker's knee is limited in practice. he's dealing with a knee injury.
01:30:23
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, i I expect him to play. That guy is a junkyard dog, and he's going to run out there if he has one leg or half a knee. like he's He's going out there. Fully expect him to play.
01:30:35
Lord Hinkie
Moving on here, the Titans at the indian Indianapolis Colts. This is just going to be a dog walk. I think we kind of move through this game pretty quick. All the Colts, all the Colts, probably none of the Titans.
01:30:43
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, keep it short.
01:30:47
Lord Hinkie
Do we care?
01:30:48
Dakota Zeigler
I think that's well said.
01:30:49
Ninja
No.
01:30:51
Dakota Zeigler
i don't I don't even know if I could start Epic Eye Manor in this one.
01:30:51
Lord Hinkie
Next
01:30:55
Dakota Zeigler
like I think the Titans are...
01:30:55
Lord Hinkie
I don't think you can
01:30:55
Ninja
Whoa!
01:30:56
Dakota Zeigler
Sorry, Damien, we're trying to move on quick, but like I know that's something we bring up every game.
01:30:57
Ninja
Whoa!
01:31:01
Dakota Zeigler
I just don't think you can in this game.
01:31:03
Ninja
He's the only one there. That's why you have to start him. He's legitimately it.
01:31:08
Dakota Zeigler
And they can focus.
01:31:09
Ninja
As far as receivers that Cam Ward can go to. He's it.
01:31:11
Dakota Zeigler
They can put all 11 on him, and the Titans can't move the ball.
01:31:15
Ninja
So I'm going to try and buy a supporter here. Anna, do you have any opinions about my boy, Alik Ayu Manor, down there in Tennessee? I know he's not a Penn Stater, so maybe you're not too familiar, but do you have any knowledge of this guy whatsoever?
01:31:29
Anna
No, do not. I am sorry.
01:31:30
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:31:31
Ninja
That's fair.
01:31:32
Dakota Zeigler
There we go.
01:31:32
Ninja
That's fair.
01:31:32
Dakota Zeigler
Moving on.
01:31:32
Lord Hinkie
Stay fair.
01:31:34
Dakota Zeigler
Gary, I'm just going to take on over here and bring up this game.
Cowboys vs Broncos and Fantasy Insights
01:31:38
Dakota Zeigler
It sucks that you two have sarah the same team because then we can't spread it out a little bit. But Cowboys at the Broncos. Anyone like the Cowboys here? Yeah. No, didn't think so.
01:31:46
Dakota Zeigler
The Broncos are going to dominate.
01:31:48
Ninja
Does anyone like the Broncos here? Yeah, no, didn't think so.
01:31:50
Dakota Zeigler
Oh, yeah. and You would like them if they didn't beat you.
01:31:52
Ninja
Oh, my bad.
01:31:54
Dakota Zeigler
You just can't like teams better than you.
01:31:55
Ninja
No, I...
01:31:55
Dakota Zeigler
That's why you don't like the Chiefs.
01:31:56
Ninja
Fantasy? it No, gross.
01:31:57
Dakota Zeigler
why you don't like the Broncos. That's why you don't like...
01:31:59
Ninja
Fantasy is gross.
01:32:00
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:32:01
Ninja
Let's not lie to ourselves. They're gross in fantasy. They're very gross.
01:32:05
Dakota Zeigler
They're not the prettiest, and I will agree with you on that. very Very questionable at times, but for NFL teams, yeah. This is going to be, I do believe, a higher-scoring game. the cowboy The Broncos' strength is their defense. The Cowboys' strength is their offense.
01:32:22
Dakota Zeigler
I've said it. I'll say it again. Tight ends, running backs. Start Javante, start Ferg. They're going to light up the Broncos' defense. They're going to put up points. The Broncos are going to score on the god-awful Cowboys' defense.
01:32:34
Dakota Zeigler
This is going to be a higher-scoring game. One, I'm kind of expecting to lose. I think this is a game that just because they have two strong positions that we're weak against...
01:32:45
Dakota Zeigler
We're going to have to put up a ton of points. If we couldn't put up points on the Giants, and their defense is definitely better than the Cowboys, but if we couldn't put up points to the fourth quarter, I think we are going to struggle even putting up points against a bad defense.
01:33:01
Dakota Zeigler
That being said, shout out pick of the week.
01:33:03
Lord Hinkie
That's sad.
01:33:04
Dakota Zeigler
So I'm having faith in my team and how bad the Cowboys defense is, but I think it's going to be not as
01:33:11
Dakota Zeigler
Easy scoring. I think it's still going high scoring, but i don't think it's going to be cakewalk as you might think.
01:33:21
Ninja
I don't think anyone thought it would be a cakewalk going in. The Broncos are going to lose this game because they lose the games that they shunned.
01:33:27
Dakota Zeigler
Exactly.
01:33:27
Ninja
But the the key here is i don't want anybody for... I think this is going to be a gross game. A really gross game. Expect your Adam Trotmans to score touchdown this week.
01:33:39
Ninja
Expect your shout-out Jalen Tolbert to score this week.
01:33:40
Dakota Zeigler
Atkin.
01:33:43
Ninja
It's just going to be a gross game where you don't really start anybody. But it's it's just going to be a gross game that the Broncos lose and you'll be very upset about and I'll be hearing it all week.
01:33:54
Dakota Zeigler
I don't cry like the Eagles fans do. Take my L like men.
01:33:57
Lord Hinkie
Whoa.
01:33:59
Dakota Zeigler
Like a man.
01:34:02
Lord Hinkie
I only cried for 30 minutes.
01:34:05
Dakota Zeigler
If we were at that game, you guys would have... This would have been a bigger big...
01:34:08
Lord Hinkie
It would have been the worst day of my life.
01:34:10
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, it would have been. All right.
01:34:11
Lord Hinkie
It would have been bottom five day of my life.
01:34:13
Dakota Zeigler
Gary, what's your thoughts here?
01:34:14
Lord Hinkie
I actually think this going to be a pretty good game. I think it's a good game on paper for sure. The only question is, can the Broncos slow down the Cowboys?
01:34:23
Lord Hinkie
That's really the only question. So I think they'll they're a score fine against the Cowboys defense because it's not very good.
Packers vs Steelers and Strategic Picks
01:34:30
Lord Hinkie
It's just, can they slow down this Dak Prescott-led offense?
01:34:34
Lord Hinkie
do we Are we worried about CeeDee Lamb at all going up against Patrick Sertan?
01:34:37
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
01:34:39
Lord Hinkie
I think slightly, but I think
01:34:40
Dakota Zeigler
I think you've got temper expectations.
01:34:42
Dakota Zeigler
you can't Again, you can't sit him, but you have to temper expectations.
01:34:42
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
01:34:45
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, don't expect a boom week out of him.
01:34:46
Dakota Zeigler
The same thing I said with Jamar.
01:34:47
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, yeah, slightly less. But I think this is a sneaky high-scoring game. I do think the Cowboys probably win, especially after the heart, that incredible game last week. It was probably draining for this Broncos team.
01:35:04
Lord Hinkie
So I do like the Cowboys as well. But like Zig said, I love Javante Williams in this matchup.
01:35:13
Lord Hinkie
But yes, moving on here, san fra or San Francisco, Sunday Night Football. Man, I am just lost this podcast.
01:35:19
Dakota Zeigler
Wow.

I hate this podcast.
01:35:52

Is that really your best movie all the time? That's a different podcast, but I'm not saying it's not great, but it's it shouldn't be the number one all time.
01:35:55
Dakota Zeigler
Spaceballs is a great movie.
01:35:57
Lord Hinkie
It's like the one movie he quotes.
01:36:02

It's like literally the one movie he quotes.

Mel Brooks is him. Mel Brooks is him.

It's top 10, but it might be 10.
01:36:06
Dakota Zeigler
Anyway.
01:36:09
Dakota Zeigler
I'll take it. I'll take it.
01:36:11
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. For me, this game is kind of hard to predict and kind of like break down.
01:36:14
Dakota Zeigler
yes
01:36:15
Lord Hinkie
i don't really know what to expect in this game. I think it's going to be kind of gross. I think it's going to be kind of low scoring. I just, I don't know what to do with this game. Fellas Ninja, I'll throw it to you. This Broncos team who we playing or I'm Broncos, this Packers team who are we playing.
01:36:29
Ninja
Man, buddy, you're struggling.
01:36:31
Lord Hinkie
I don't know what to do. I need to mute myself.
01:36:33
Dakota Zeigler
Damien Takeover hosting.
01:36:33
Ninja
Well... I got you, buddy. So for the Packers, love loves Kraft. So I love Lovecraft. Love, love, love, love, loves Jacobs. That's why love, love, love Jacobs.
01:36:46
Ninja
And the question I have for the Packers is Matthew Golden a guy. He's continually to get... more involved in this offense at the year has gone on. Do we expect any change in his production outcome after the bye week? I think he's stepping it up. I don't know if he's still worth a start.
01:37:06
Ninja
I don't think so, but it's by McGeddon, so maybe you have to. And then for this Steelers team, I think you start Rodgers. You can't sit him after last week. DK had a down week but I don't think you can sit him either if you have DK and then the main question for those guys do we like Pat Friarmouth do we like Jonu Smith because both of them had really really good weeks how do we project this game going a Zig I'll throw it to you first
01:37:35
Dakota Zeigler
I think this is going to be a very defensive game. TJ Watt versus Micah Parsons is more what I'm going to be watching than the offensive side, as much as I kind of hate saying that. You're starting Tucker Craft in this game.
01:37:49
Dakota Zeigler
You have to. Got to start Josh Jacobs. You're going to have to. i I'd say start Golden, but I don't think you can if you have any options in the same tier as him.
01:38:01
Dakota Zeigler
dk You're going to have to start. You dropped him high enough. The quarterback, same thing. You're probably going to have to start. Rodgers is questionable, but like you said, after last week, I think you have to start him.
01:38:13
Dakota Zeigler
Tight ends, like I said in the beginning, at the top, I can't bring myself to start any of them. I'm taking a Juwan Johnson over any of these tight ends this week.
01:38:22
Lord Hinkie
That's cheeky. I do think I would feel pretty okay starting a Pat Fryer-Muth. I would wouldn't love it, but I think I'd feel pretty good about it. In your two tight end leagues and you know with your by-Mageddons, with Jay McBride being on a bye this week, I think I'd feel pretty okay with Pat Fryer-Muth for sure.
01:38:39
Lord Hinkie
but just to piggyback on what you guys are talking about, i think I am playing Matthew Goulden this week. He just seems to be like a little dark horse guy that I love. I liked him coming out of Texas. I think he's produced, you know, slowly better throughout the year, uh, week in week out. He's getting more and more involved. So I think I, I'm pretty, pretty okay. Starting Matthew Goulden this week.
01:38:59
Dakota Zeigler
Just cheeky. cheeky
01:38:59
Ninja
Yeah, love that. I agree. i Honestly, if I don't have Matthew Golden anywhere, but if I had him this week, I'm probably starting him this week.
01:39:08
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:39:09
Ninja
that's That's how i feel about him. But moving into the Monday Night Football game, we have Commanders at Chiefs.
Chiefs vs Commanders and Player Evaluations
01:39:15
Ninja
Jaden Daniels is probably out. And as Junior said, it's a Chiefs Pride time game.
01:39:23
Ninja
Yikes. Gross.
01:39:24
Lord Hinkie
Yikes.
01:39:24
Ninja
Ew, ew, ew. I'm so tired of seeing this team. I think it's absolutely gross.
01:39:27
Lord Hinkie
Ew.
01:39:30
Ninja
And for the Commanders, if Jaden Daniels is out, I'm sitting everybody except my boy, Zach Ertz. I think he's a must start regardless. And then for the Chiefs, Rasheed Rice and I'm out.
01:39:44
Ninja
I think Worthy is okay. I don't love it. But a sleeper guy to keep an eye on. Another one of my guys. Zeg, give me that sword. You don't have it. I'll do it myself.
01:39:54
Dakota Zeigler
she
01:39:56
Ninja
There it is. Brashard Smith, baby. Being a lot more involved in the offensive the last couple weeks. Expect him to kind of sink into this carry. And Gary, I want to bring it to you.
01:40:07
Ninja
Your thoughts on Rashard Smith, because I know I was on this island alone fighting. Has he swayed your mind at all to kind of join me on this hilltop?
01:40:17
Lord Hinkie
I don't... i I was never a Brashad Smith hater. i just think you love them way more than I did. But he's... he As of the last couple weeks, he has been a third down back pretty consistently for the Chiefs offense.
01:40:33
Lord Hinkie
So I would say yes, I do like him. I don't think I'm starting him anywhere. i don't think I'm looking to at him per se and like my dynasty leagues and and such and such, but... I do think he's he's he's impressing me, I would say.
01:40:50
Lord Hinkie
So, yes.
01:40:53
Dakota Zeigler
Are you ever going to give up on this kid?
01:40:56
Ninja
but He's a rookie. what What are we talking about? Am I going to give up on a rookie? What is this?
01:41:02
Dakota Zeigler
I don't know. This is going to be the guy you hang on to forever.
01:41:05
Ninja
He's been doing good.
01:41:06
Dakota Zeigler
The guy.
01:41:06
Ninja
So it's not it's not unwarranted like love. like i wouldn't be throwing love if he wasn't doing anything, but he's been having some good weeks back to back to back now.
01:41:15
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. Yeah.
01:41:17
Ninja
So I think he's warranted to finally throw in.
01:41:17
Dakota Zeigler
i mean, that that's fair.
01:41:17
Lord Hinkie
Five catches last week.
01:41:20
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:41:20
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, I think this is a bigger bump for Pacheco. I think this is less of a bump for Kareem Hunt, and then Rashad Smith is just going to take that backup role, which, I mean, this best situation for him.
01:41:31
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, I'm not trying to bash the guy, but Damien treats him like he's the starter already.
01:41:31
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:41:33
Lord Hinkie
And... Yeah. Also, to play a little devil's advocate, the reason he got so many touches last week is because they were up to the Raiders, so...
01:41:37
Ninja
He's getting there.
01:41:44
Ninja
Hey.
01:41:45
Dakota Zeigler
Damien had a week, and it was just...
01:41:45
Ninja
I just want to say. if The running game hasn't been good. Sorry, Zig. I'll let you go.
01:41:49
Dakota Zeigler
You're good.
01:41:49
Ninja
And then I'll have my moment.
01:41:50
Dakota Zeigler
Go ahead. I'm going to bash you. Go ahead.
01:41:52
Ninja
Okay. Okay, cool. I love this. I love where I'm all alone.
01:41:59
Ninja
The running game hasn't been good. With the starters they currently have. Why not ride with a guy with upside? Who you so happen to you know draft this year.
01:42:10
Ninja
And in his looks, you know even if it was a game where it was 31-0, looked good in his snaps. That's what I'm here to see. And these rookies who were taken late, especially like Brashard Smith, who was a 7th round draft pick, him seeing the field is a plus for you in fantasy this year, regardless of whatever happens.
01:42:33
Ninja
Zig?
01:42:35
Dakota Zeigler
That's fair. I will agree with you on that. I just want to say that Damian's riding high off of last week, but that's just because the two rookies that he's most in love with—well, should say two rookies, but some of the rookies he's most in love with just had really big weeks on their teams just due to the teams being up in Kyle Manungai and Brashad Smith.
01:42:55
Dakota Zeigler
Next week's going to go back to normal, and Damian's just going to be— Damien. So don't get your hopes up on these guys. This is a wait and see approach. Don't get your hopes up on Mononga or Bershad Smith at the moment.
01:43:07
Ninja
Man, the slander is unreal.
01:43:11
Dakota Zeigler
Gary, tell me you disagree. Tell me you disagree, Gary.
01:43:16
Lord Hinkie
To be honest, I don't know how I feel.
01:43:19
Ninja
For a fifth and a seventh round pick? Come on.
01:43:22
Lord Hinkie
don't know.
01:43:23
Ninja
Was Kalman on guy seventh round pick too? Is it two seventh round guys?
01:43:26
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, he was.
01:43:27
Lord Hinkie
I think he was his seventh round pick.
01:43:27
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, he was.
01:43:28
Ninja
So why are we hating on two seventh round guys?
01:43:28
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:43:31
Lord Hinkie
That's not that I'm hating. It's just that...
01:43:32
Dakota Zeigler
no heyin You're just giving him too much love.
01:43:34
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it's like... It's the Kylan grandson of it all. You know? It's the... We keep talking about this guy just because... It's...
01:43:43
Dakota Zeigler
Just because Damien can't give.
01:43:44
Ninja
Shout out. Kylan Grant said, I'll never for stop. I love you. I don't even know you that well, but I would love to get to know you.
01:43:47
Lord Hinkie
yeah Anna, what are your thoughts on this Chiefs team, Monday Night Football against the Commanders?
01:43:50
Dakota Zeigler
And he won't let go.
01:43:56
Anna
Sorry, I zoned out.
01:43:57
Dakota Zeigler
you're good
01:43:58
Dakota Zeigler
the The effect we have on our listeners.
01:43:59
Anna
Wait, the Chiefs...
01:44:02
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, normally how it goes.
01:44:03
Anna
Wait, I heard you guys talking about Kyle Granson again, and I just kind of went on my way.
01:44:03
Ninja
but
01:44:04
Dakota Zeigler
The Kyle Pitts, Kyle Menonga, and Brashad Smith talk. Yep. Oh.
01:44:08
Lord Hinkie
yeah Yeah, that's what our listeners do too.
01:44:10
Anna
The Chiefs game, who are they playing?
01:44:10
Ninja
yeah
01:44:13
Lord Hinkie
The Washington Commanders.
01:44:13
Dakota Zeigler
i
01:44:15
Anna
Oh, it's going to be the Chiefs.
01:44:17
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:44:17
Anna
It's not going to be a close game.
01:44:19
Dakota Zeigler
yep
01:44:20
Anna
They got another primetime game. They deserve it.
01:44:25
Ninja
Another Chiefs Glazer here.
01:44:25
Dakota Zeigler
oh
01:44:27
Lord Hinkie
Oh, man.
01:44:27
Ninja
Hate to see it.
01:44:27
Dakota Zeigler
you
01:44:27
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:44:28
Anna
Obviously, that's what I do best. Patrick's going to show out. We're going to see stuff from Rasheed Andy Reid's going to do what he does best.
01:44:40
Anna
Coach Spaggs is going to have his defense all over the board as he does. going to be a great week for them.
01:44:49
Dakota Zeigler
So before we end this, you know, this week's recap here and before Anna heads on out for our next segment, what is your thoughts on Travis Kelsey with Rasheed Rice back?
01:45:00
Dakota Zeigler
Is he officially like gone? as this Is this his last year? Do you think he's done like they play the same part of the field? So is there any more Travis Kelsey? Yeah.
01:45:11
Anna
I am not the biggest Travis, Travis Kelsey fan to begin with.
01:45:15
Dakota Zeigler
You're a Swifty?
01:45:17
Anna
No.
01:45:21
Anna
No. Don't associate my name with that.
01:45:25
Dakota Zeigler
yeah Love it.
01:45:28
Anna
No, I'm the opposite.
01:45:28
Dakota Zeigler
Don't get Gary Roud up here. Gary's like, you know, dressing up as T-Swizzle for a Halloween. Don't let him fool you.
01:45:34
Anna
Yeah, no, I'm the opposite.
01:45:34
Lord Hinkie
I think I can pull that off.
01:45:37
Lord Hinkie
I have that kind of physique.
01:45:37
Dakota Zeigler
i
01:45:37
Ninja
yeah
01:45:39
Anna
Yeah, no.
01:45:39
Lord Hinkie
I have that physique. I can pull that off.
01:45:41
Anna
Yeah, the blonde wig is already shipped.
01:45:43
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:45:44
Dakota Zeigler
Gary, need a full body pick for a pinata farms.
01:45:47
Anna
Yeah.
01:45:47
Lord Hinkie
Just between us girls.
01:45:48
Anna
oh So, honestly, I think Travis has been on his downfall for past couple seasons. I don't think... I think...
01:45:56
Ninja
Save for the people in the back, Anna. Save for the people in the back.
01:45:59
Anna
I think... I think he... I'm not saying he wasn't a good tight end. I think he started off strong. And I mean, obviously he made it to the NFL. He made it to the Chiefs and he has rings to prove he had the talent. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it, but I think he's been falling off. And I think at a certain point you need to know your limits and know when to call it quits. And I think his time was...
01:46:24
Anna
maybe a couple of years past due. So good for him for sticking it out and trying, but his time, his time is now. And now, like you said, having Richie Rice back in and playing the same parts of the field, I think the chiefs will do fine without him. So
01:46:41
Dakota Zeigler
And it's all that Andy Reed coaching over there. He is, he knows how to use the players. So
01:46:47
Anna
yeah. And they're just going to get someone else just as good, if not better. And that's what they do best.
01:46:56
Dakota Zeigler
that's fair. That's fair.
01:46:58
Lord Hinkie
Man, it's been, we've never had a Chiefs Glazer on this podcast, and it's just, it's tough to listen to, man.
01:47:03
Ninja
I don't know if it will ever happen again. and
01:47:05
Lord Hinkie
It really is.
01:47:06
Ninja
I hate it. As much as Anna has had really good points, I hate it.
01:47:08
Lord Hinkie
It's brutal. Yeah. Yeah, honestly, it's been, it has been great having Ana on the pod.
01:47:11
Ninja
I hate that she's right.
01:47:15
Lord Hinkie
I'm going to continue to say Ana because I'm just going to keep screwing it up. I want to say thank you for coming in. Appreciate you listening and appreciate you tuning in and, you know, joining us for this podcast. We would obviously love to have you back.
01:47:26
Lord Hinkie
We, I, me and Ninja have to have you on an after doc pod where we talk college football, Penn state pod would be incredible.
01:47:30
Ninja
For a Penn State pod. Yes.
01:47:33
Lord Hinkie
I think you'd be awesome in that. So we would love to have you back if you would like to join us.
01:47:37
Anna
Yeah, absolutely. College is more of my comfort, so I would definitely love to do that.
01:47:38
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:47:41
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, we'll have to hit you up the next time we do one. But always want to say our goodbyes because obviously contractually you cannot be a part of this next podcast. So we will be saying our goodbyes or next segment of this podcast. So we'll be saying our quick little goodbyes for you here and mutiny for the rest of it because, you know, we don't want to get you in trouble.
01:47:59
Lord Hinkie
So as we do that, we will move on.
01:48:00
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:48:01
Anna
Yes. yes
01:48:04
Lord Hinkie
So, like as always, ladies and gentlemen, we have our little betting segment of the week.
01:48:04
Anna
is like
01:48:10
Lord Hinkie
We kind of end all of our podcasts with.
Betting Picks and Parlay Opportunities
01:48:12
Lord Hinkie
Last week, we did not do too well for you boys. I am sorry if you failed us.
01:48:16
Ninja
Yikes!
01:48:17
Lord Hinkie
Hate to say it.
01:48:17
Ninja
Oh, boy.
01:48:19
Lord Hinkie
Big fat 0-3 for the fellas. Kyle Pitts screwed me up. Saquon Barkley let down Ninja over there. And Zig, honestly, I forget who you bet, but honestly, I don't bet him either week anyway, so.
01:48:31
Ninja
yeah That's a correct take to have, yeah.
01:48:33
Dakota Zeigler
Ouch. I had DK Metcalf in that Thursday night game.
01:48:37
Lord Hinkie
brutal veral Hate to see it. But with that being said, we went pretty chalky this week. So hopefully we get get you guys back on the board. Zig, who are you going with for your ZNG Dynasty Parlay bet of the week?
01:48:53
Dakota Zeigler
You know who this is going to be. This is Cortland Sutton. I'm back in the flames. I bet him once earlier in the season he did not hit for me. His odds were at 170 at the time. This week, much better against a poor Cowboys defense, sitting at around 125 at the moment.
01:49:08
Dakota Zeigler
He is still like the best target the Broncos have. He's still Bo Nix's right-hand man. This is going to be yeah chalk. I'm hoping it's chalk right here.
01:49:19
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it does feel pretty chalky, especially against that Cowboys defense. I love Corlin Sutton this week for an any-timer. Ninja, keep it going. Who you got?
01:49:28
Ninja
Yeah, so Zig can no longer timestamp 152-07 at my picks for being the safest guy. I'm no longer the safest guy this week.
01:49:39
Ninja
I went with Drake London at right around plus 100 against a Miami Dolphins defense that is pitiful. I think this is chalk, but I was tired of Zig you know questioning my takes.
01:49:51
Ninja
To try and win you guys money. Although I'm on an all-time loser. We're back this week. I locked in mentally. I met up with some good people. Out there in the world. you know And I just locked in mentally.
01:50:05
Ninja
We're here for this game. Drake London will score this week. And if he does not. I won't do anything different. Because I've been so close.
01:50:16
Dakota Zeigler
I do want to say do want to say I was going to bash you for never having the highest odds on the on the betting segment, but i I do see in week two you had Nico Collins at 140 was your highest odds.
01:50:16
Ninja
But I'm trying guys.
01:50:16
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:50:17
Ninja
I'm trying.
01:50:31
Dakota Zeigler
Highest betting odds. Oh, I'm sorry. Not Nico Collins. I'm sorry. Tyler Warren at 225. That was your highest one. So you had one week where you were the highest out of the three of us.
01:50:42
Ninja
I try.
01:50:43
Dakota Zeigler
All right.
01:50:43
Ninja
You know? I'm here for the people. I try my best.
01:50:45
Lord Hinkie
We're trying put out winners. That's what we're trying to do.
01:50:47
Ninja
Just wait for the ninja's pot. That's when I get real spicy, okay?
01:50:50
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:50:51
Dakota Zeigler
By the way, Damian...
01:50:51
Lord Hinkie
We're trying to put out winners.
01:50:53
Dakota Zeigler
By the way, for anyone keeping in track with us, Damian and I are tied at three hits apiece. Gary's in the lead by one with four, so still a tight race about almost halfway in the season. and to
01:51:03
Lord Hinkie
It's so sad, too, because I started off the year 4-0.
01:51:05
Ninja
Yeah, Gary, we gotta pull away. i started off 3-0.
01:51:09
Lord Hinkie
I'm cold, man.
01:51:09
Ninja
And I've been on an all-time loser.
01:51:11
Dakota Zeigler
Two, you have missed Tyler Warren, then you hit on Cook, Damian.
01:51:15
Ninja
Eh, same deal.
01:51:17
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, whatever he says.
01:51:17
Ninja
You know what I mean? Who's counting?
01:51:20
Lord Hinkie
My bet this week for the ZNG Dynasty Parlay is Jalen Hurts anytime touchdown against the New York Giants. He did it two weeks ago on Thursday Night Football with a tush push, and I think he gets another one this week, maybe two.
01:51:33
Lord Hinkie
I love Jalen Hurts in this matchup. I want to do Saquon, but I think it's too obvious, and I can't trust the guy right now. So I'm going to go Jalen hurts anytime touchdown. It is the lowest odds of the week at minus one 40.
01:51:45
Lord Hinkie
So that's a reason you're throwing in that parlay. and Zig, do you have the numbers for this parlay?
01:51:50
Dakota Zeigler
I do. So just to recap, we have Cortland Sutton at plus 125, Drake Lund around 100, and Jalen Hurts at minus 140. This is our second lowest odds ever at 671.
01:52:04
Lord Hinkie
Hey, we're, we're trying to get you winners.
01:52:04
Ninja
Yikes, guys.
01:52:06
Lord Hinkie
We're trying to get you winners.
01:52:06
Ninja
Chalk is chalk, though.
01:52:06
Dakota Zeigler
wait
01:52:07
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:52:08
Ninja
Chalk is chalk.
01:52:08
Dakota Zeigler
we haven't hit We haven't hit in three weeks, so we arere we are we're coming back trying to get us some money back in the accounts so we can put out some more spicy bets.
01:52:14
Lord Hinkie
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
01:52:16
Dakota Zeigler
Speaking of spicy...
01:52:16
Ninja
Keep in mind, he gave me so much crap last week because I've been playing it safe. But you know where I get spicy? The Ninja Parlay of the Week, baby. And we're back to another tight end parlay.
01:52:29
Ninja
Oh, I don't get this excited for anything else in the entire world. Recently, things have been looking up for me. I did a lot of good things. But is it better than the tight end parlay of the week?
01:52:40
Ninja
Doubt it. you know so for our tight end parlay this week, we're starting off with Dalton Kincaid at plus 200. George Kittle, he's going to have a bounce back this week at plus 180.
01:52:55
Ninja
Harold Fannin anytime at plus 320. And then a cheeky old Philly special, Dallas Gowder at plus 190. You add all that math up.
01:53:07
Ninja
You're right around plus 10,000 odds. $5 pays you $512, guys. So, you know, bet a mortgage. Bet a life insurance policy.
01:53:21
Ninja
Take out payments early from work.
01:53:21
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, take out a loan from the bank.
01:53:23
Ninja
Cash advances.
01:53:25
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
01:53:26
Ninja
Because...
01:53:26
Dakota Zeigler
we are not responsible for any betting laws is betting addicted.
01:53:29
Lord Hinkie
Please bet responsibly.
01:53:30
Ninja
no No, no, no, no, no. I do not cover bet insurance. That is not plausible with my contract. But I do have to say, i did hit on a tight end parlay a while ago, probably two or three weeks ago, and it did pay off a nice grand.
01:53:44
Ninja
And I feel bad that it wasn't one I gave to you guys. So I'm trying to hit for you guys, for the real fellows that actually listen. You know, cheek a cheeky little fiver might win you $500 a week. Or if you're bold and dangerous like me.
01:53:59
Ninja
You could up that to a Lamborghini. You know what I'm saying?
01:54:04
Dakota Zeigler
Gary, get us out of here.
01:54:05
Lord Hinkie
Oh man, what an incredible podcast. I mean, everyone loves a good tight end, especially a good tight end Barley.
01:54:10
Ninja
God bless.
01:54:12
Lord Hinkie
I will be tailing that on Sunday. Remind me to bet that i I really, really like, I feel like the NFL goes weekly with, hey, a bunch of tight ends are scoring this week and then no tight ends are scoring.
01:54:23
Lord Hinkie
So I love throwing all the dimes in to see if a bunch of tight ends are going to score.
01:54:24
Dakota Zeigler
When is
01:54:28
Lord Hinkie
Go ahead.
01:54:28
Dakota Zeigler
If you were watching, I believe, was it Monday Night Football? They had the running back day, and they did with Saquon, or not Saquon, with Bijan and CMC.
01:54:39
Dakota Zeigler
When is National Tight Ends Day? That's got to be coming up here soon, right?
01:54:42
Ninja
It's coming up. It's coming up.
01:54:43
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it's in a couple weeks.
01:54:44
Dakota Zeigler
We need, for the ZNG, I'm making this rule right now, ZNG bet, and for Damian's Bet of the Week, Tight End Day is only tight ends.
01:54:53
Lord Hinkie
Dead ends only.
01:54:53
Dakota Zeigler
i
01:54:54
Lord Hinkie
I'm in.
01:54:54
Dakota Zeigler
All bets are only tight ends.
01:54:54
Ninja
So I have to pick five tenets?
01:54:57
Lord Hinkie
Yep.
01:54:58
Ninja
Yikes.
01:54:59
Lord Hinkie
It's going be a good one.
01:55:00
Ninja
I'm not making any money that week.
01:55:01
Dakota Zeigler
you can you can double You can double up with the Z and G and the... You can only pick four. I'll let you double up between the two.
01:55:09
Ninja
Oh, so I could have had Mike Evans that week. Anyway, we move on.
01:55:12
Lord Hinkie
Nope.
01:55:13
Dakota Zeigler
No, that's not what I'm saying.
01:55:14
Dakota Zeigler
I'm saying you can pick your Z and G bet with your...
01:55:14
Ninja
but but I was just messing. I was just messing. I got him going.
01:55:18
Dakota Zeigler
Don't get me started. End this out, Gary.
01:55:21
Lord Hinkie
Ladies and gentlemen, it's been a good one this week. It's been a long one, like it usually is. Like we've told you, these one-a-week podcasts are... You know, we have a lot to fit into one pod. So yes, you're going to get a two hour pod this week.
01:55:34
Lord Hinkie
Hope you enjoy it Have you hope you have a long trip to kind of enjoy this long one. Shout out Anna said her name right this time for joining us today for the pod. Nice having her on. hopeful you can get her on for some more podcasts in the future.
01:55:47
Lord Hinkie

01:55:56
Ninja

01:56:02
Ninja
But shout out for listening to our semantics and bullcrap for two hours now. She will be back on, hopefully, for a college one where she is more up her alley. And that'll be a great pot. I wish you had her for the PSU rant we had.
01:56:16
Ninja
I think that was also...
01:56:16
Lord Hinkie
That was a good one.
01:56:18
Ninja
Junior gotta say she kind of convinced me that the interim head coach was the guy to have there. I'm kind of on board with it. Anna convinced me big Terry Smith guy.
01:56:26
Lord Hinkie
Big Terry Smith guy. Okay.
01:56:29
Ninja
So, uh, we'll get her on the pot again for sure. Hopefully we'll work out contract negotiations with her.
01:56:35
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, she's going to be expensive.
01:56:36
Lord Hinkie
We're going to need to cut somebody.
01:56:37
Ninja
Very expensive. Yeah, we're going to have to take pay cuts to get Anna back. But I also want to shout out Ty for always being on the socials, being a with us from the start. We do appreciate you, buddy.
01:56:49
Ninja
I love you. And bet this tight end parlay and put a mortgage on it. How about you, buddy? You know what i mean?
01:56:54
Lord Hinkie
Don't do that. Zig, anything to say to people before we get out of here?
01:56:57
Dakota Zeigler
I do want to appreciate Damien. Thank you for being willing to take a pay cut. Gary was willing to cut me right from the pod just to get Anna in here.

Still am.
01:57:04
Dakota Zeigler
Uh, uh, uh,

Still am.
01:57:07
Dakota Zeigler
