Week 2 Preview

Transcript

Speaker: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of the ZNG Dynasty podcast. And yes, you do get to hear my lovely voice again, like you did last week, but my voice isn't the only one you're going to be hearing today.

Speaker: i am joined by good friend, my right hand man, friend of the program, if you will, Ninja Moore. Welcome to back to the podcast, buddy. I'm so sorry for missing last week. Hey, guys.

Speaker: Thank you. I am back. ah Some technical difficulties. Thank you, guys. Thank you. Thank you. That was a crowd. Yeah, some real technical difficulties kept me sidelined last week. It was a game-time decision. Do not play because Coach held me back. Yeah, it was a shocker, too.

Speaker: Yeah, I told him I could play through my bum ankle. He didn't believe me. But we're back this week better than ever. We're getting copyrighted for that by that for sure.

Speaker: For sure. But yes, just so a little behind the behind baseball here. We're currently on a new podcasting platform. We have changed up. we've had We were having issues with our last recording website program, if you will. um So we're trying on something new today. Hopefully things go well, things go smooth. This is kind of a test run in a way. But ah yes, that was kind of the issue we were having last week. That's why you only got a solo pod from your boy. Um, but this week, you know, back to the two of us might have a special guest on later. Dude can't confirm nor deny if there'll be a third podcaster here today, but right now you got me and the ninge and we're rolling with the buddy. Um, but yeah, uh, are you ready to podcast again?

Speaker: I'm so ready to podcast. How jacked up are you right now? I'm so jacked. I've been looking forward to this for a week. Legitimately, I can't tell you how upset I was to not be able to podcast. First ever podcast missed.

Speaker: Crazy. All right. right, buddy. Well, I guess without further ado, let's get into this ah week one breakdown. And man, was week one a good weekend to have red zone or at least just be able to sit home and watch football? Because the highlight, my first note on the highlights for week one was points points, points, points, baby. I think the over under hit on like seven of the first eight games, um absolutely monstrous offensive games from pretty much everyone across the board.

Speaker: um And with that being said, I don't know if this is a record. In my head, it is. But this week was the week for multi-touchdown scores, like one player scoring multiple touchdowns in a game.

Speaker: For instance, I actually have the list right here. I got them all. Josh Allen and Caleb Williams both ran for two-plus touchdowns. DeAndre Swift in that same game with Chicago. Henry had three rushing touchdowns. ah David Montgomery had three total touchdowns.

Speaker: ah Jalen Coker, Christian Watson, Ashton Gentry, Jameer Gibbs, Amon Ross St. Brown, ah Justin Jefferson, Jonathan Taylor, Dallas Goddard, and Chuba Hubbard all scored multiple touchdowns in their in their specific games. Insane. I don't know if that's a record or not, but that's the most names i've I think I could ever name with multi-touchdown games in one week.

Speaker: Yeah, it's the most I've seen. Red Zone was absolutely electric in the one o'clock window. ah i was fortunate Scott Hanson just owning it. Owning it. I was lucky enough to spend it with a couple buddies of mine. ah We were drinking and it seemed like Scott Hanson was throwing us to another touchdown every 30 seconds. It was amazing.

Speaker: Absolutely incredible. And I mean, speaking of points, the Bears-Panthers game is one that comes to mind. The Bears put up over 50 points in a football A 50-burger? A 50-burger week one.

Speaker: Insane. 59 points ah for the Bears. Everyone on that team played well. Except we'll talk about them later. But incredible fantasy game. Panthers on them ah on their own, but up 37 points. A total of quick pass. 96 points in one football game.

Speaker: I think that's right. I think that is right. 96 points. Insane. Week one. It's unheard of. I never seen it before.

Speaker: Unheard of. um Obviously, we talked about a little bit earlier, but Derrick Henry, that train buddy just keeps on rolling. it Doesn't matter how old that guy is. He can just, if you block that first line and he's going up against linebackers and safeties, he's it's gone. It's over. It's done with. He's still super fast. He's still incredibly strong. He's massive. You need two people to tackle him. He's still Derrick Henry.

Speaker: Yeah. Never left. Still in the building.

Speaker: um I have Christian Watson as a quick little note here. um Obviously, me and Zig are big Christian Watson guys. But to start off that game, 81-yard touchdown catch. Oh, my God.

Speaker: Beautiful. And then he caught in second touchdown later on the game. Six catches, 147 yards. Great week one debut from Christian Watson. And Matthew Golden did himself okay in that game as well.

Speaker: Yeah, as a guy who's been slowly turning around at Christian Watson, I did so at the right time last week, ah saying that he was my favorite wide receiver to play, and man, I wish I put him in a lot more parlays.

Speaker: Yeah, dude, me too. um Going back to that Chicago Bears game, DeAndre Swift, 18 carries, 124 yards, three total touchdowns.

Speaker: Not only that, he threw in a catch for 10 yards. And Kyle Monungay, 10 carries, 100 yards, another tutty. We call that efficiency around here. my God. And then Caleb Williams had two rushing touchdowns as well, two long ones, big-time plays from the kid. He had an incredible game.

Speaker: Man, I love being right. Dude, who would have thought Caleb Williams was going good? Us. Who'd have guessed? These two guys. um Next on our list, David Montgomery.

Speaker: And his debut with the Houston Texans puts up a three-touchdown burger. Two rushing touchdowns, only 60 yards on the ground, which, to be honest, it's David Montgomery.

Speaker: 20 carries, 60 yards. That's a David Montgomery game right there. um Two touchdowns, two shorties. I think he actually took him four chances to score at the goal line, if I remember correctly. Maybe maybe three, but I think it was four chances to score at the one- or two-yard line. um And he also caught a pass for a touchdown. um couldn't Couldn't have gone better for a debut from Dave Montgomery.

Speaker: Absolutely agreed. And the one thing I was worried about with Monty, and I think everyone was, was we thought it was going to be a lot more of a timeshare with Woody Marks. We were wrong. ah This is Monty's field, and I'm ashamed that I thought otherwise.

Speaker: Yeah, it's it's definitely Monty's field, and Marks almost seemed like a non-factor. I i was going to say maybe game script dependent like would be David Montgomery versus Woody Marks, but for most of that game, it ended up being like more of a shootout, like high score game, and it was still all David Montgomery. So we'll see. um I have in here Garbage Time Shuck, Tyler Shuck, and I called him ocar Oscar the Shuck, like Oscar the Grouch from like Sesame Street. i don't know if anybody else got that.

Speaker: And then I also have Chris Olave, both garbage time, just fiends in that second half. I thought the Saints were down for the long count, um but Detroit kind of let them back in the game. Their ah offense looked okay. Shuck was able to make some plays. um But 10 catches, 182 yards for Olave, incredible. And then Shuck throwing up 410 yards passing, three touchdowns. He did have two picks, and he also had two fumbles, but we didn't have to talk about that.

Speaker: Points, points, points, points, points. For all you NFL connoisseurs like me, um good yardage, but turnovers are a big thing. That was a gross outing, and ah lucky that the Lions kept him in it for as long as they did, making it go to OT. Yeah, went to OT, and then they lost on a two-point conversion attempt, which I give Killamore credit. he's got He's got big balls ah going for it there in overtime. Yeah, they're swinging. Trying to win the game.

Speaker: Love that. I think he's going to have a good year there. I like Kellen Moore. Sneaky. If the Saints end up winning that division, Kellen Moore might sneaky win coach of the year. That's what I'm calling it right now.

Speaker: Jalen, don't let him coker. Baby, I love this kid. Absolutely love this kid. We talked about him before. Obviously, Ninja. is an Xavier Leggett guy, but me and Zig have been talking up Jalen Coker for last, I feel like, a year and a half now, ever ever since he got drafted. Eight catches, 138 yards, two tutties for the kid. Obviously, it was a shootout in Chicago, um or with Chicago, but just an incredible game. Outshine Tet. um I think he's definitely going to be a startable asset in most lineups.

Speaker: um Obviously, matchup dependent, but I like this Coker kid. He's definitely the wide receiver too there. Like 100%. I absolutely agree. i really Kid really showed it today. And I am officially still not off of the gate yet. I still think he's there, but it's not looking good. He's on life support. He is on life support. And you're the only one holding the plug in the wall. every Like the entire hospital is waiting to pull that plug, but you're just like, no.

Speaker: Hey, man, I did the same thing with JCM last year, and he proved me that he could do it. I'm i'm hoping LeGette can pull through for me. Yeah, we'll see. Javante Williams had himself a decent game ah Sunday Night Football against the Giants. He up but he was another multi-touchdown score, rushed for one, and also caught a touchdown pass. Five catches for the kid, which is kind of shocking, but, I mean, if you're Javante Williams owner, you definitely take it. And then on the other side of that game, Isaiah Likely.

Speaker: Having himself a day, another multi-touchdown score, eight catches, 78 yards, and two touchdowns. um He seems like he's going to be a guy there maybe for the Giants. He seemed like a big, big factor in their offense.

Speaker: Yeah, he definitely looked good. um I was worried going in like because we both still like Theo Johnson. Theo Johnson's irrelevant yeah right now. Yeah, he he is he is not a factor offensively.

Speaker: And then the Monday Night Football game, the brightest spot, Kenneth Walker. My God, 23 carries, 173 yards, and a touchdown with a long of a 60-yard bomb. And he also caught a touchdown, another multi-touchdown score for this week. I think this has to be a record. Someone fact-checked that for me, but I think it absolutely has to be a record. um But Kenneth Walker looks like he's going to be a dog there in Kansas City.

Speaker: Yeah, I absolutely agree. And I was worried about um what his time, she because obviously it's a Patrick Mahomes-led ah offense. Andy Reid normally likes to throw the ball a little bit more, but I think Andy Reid has finally found his guy there in Kansas City after years of not having one.

Speaker: Since like the last good Kareem Hunt season. Honestly, yeah.

Speaker: Pre-boot, if you will. um Moving on to the not-so-goods. Obviously, those were the good highlights. We're moving on to the not-so-goods.

Speaker: Ew. There's a decent amount of them this week. um I have on here both games that was not played on Sunday. um yeah the The Wednesday night game, Patriots-Seahawks, awful. Obviously, Darnold going down early. kind of threw that game into the water.

Speaker: um You think the Patriots are going to like run away with it, and then they just don't do anything. They just stop playing football. Seahawks come back, and Drew Locke leads a game-winning, guess it was you call it a game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, but I think there was like four minutes left. um So that game stunk. And then the 49ers-Rams game, you're telling me the Niners are going blow out the Rams by 20 points, and I'm going to be disinterested in a divisional game in Australia on a Thursday?

Speaker: Like, how does that, I never saw that happening. Me neither. I actually, i was talking about it with one of the people I work with. I was like, yeah, I like the Rams to cover like 12 and a half.

Speaker: And it might have been the worst betting advice I ever gave somebody. Ever. Like the fact that they were only like three and a half point favorites, I think. I was like, oh, I'll take that all day. um Niners blow them out.

Speaker: Not even close. But but yeah, those are definitely two negatives. And then Ninja, you have one here. you want to give that. Yeah, ah that there's a nice statistic out there. I'll let you guys look it up. But it's Drake May against teams with winning records.

Speaker: Doesn't get the job done. Doesn't play awfully well. Bunch of turnovers. she Just never looked comfortable. And I mean, it is Seattle's defense, but you already saw them once. You expect a lot of game film to be similar. And Kidd just couldn't adjust. Kidd threw a bad ball to A.J. Brown, which got A.J. Brown hurt. It was low and behind. And he got tangled up.

Speaker: Yeah, awkward tackle. ah But Drake May against winning teams hasn't been good so far in his NFL career. Brutal. and Like, the notion all year was that the Patriots' schedule was, like, such dog water. Like, they just played against nobody. It cupcakes. It was cupcakes. And I think the notion stands right now because he can't beat Seattle, especially with a Drew Locke-led offense for literally the entire game.

Speaker: Next on here. Imagine playing football for an NFL team that scores 59 fancy points. I don't know what the total yardage that they had. Let me see if I can look it up here quickly. The total yardage for this team.

Speaker: It has to be close 600 yards. The bears had total yards, rushing and two hundred sixty one receiving arts

Speaker: Colston Loveland is their starting tight end.

Speaker: Star tight end. Star tight end. Drafted him, what, 11, 12 overall last year? Stud. He had two targets and zero catches. He put up a zero-burger and a 59-point offense.

Speaker: Big old goose egg. Like, that is unheard of. At least gave me, like, three catches for, like, 40 yards. I like Loveland is the bust of the week.

Speaker: ah He belongs beneath the prison after this performance. I stole that from a guy. Thank you. Thank you. we might get odd We might get copyright claim for that because I stole that off a guy who does NFL stuff. I love it, though. Benchwarmor Brand, if you're out there, Benchwarmor Brand, ok come on the pod. I love you. ah But, man, what an absolute stinker, and especially in redraft. You were drafting Loveland in the third, fourth round to be your star tight end and just nothing. Zero.

Speaker: yeah Hate it. God awful. Speaking of nothing burgers, another tight end this week, Kyle Pitts. And speaking of, Kyle Pitts put up a zero burger. Obviously, Ninja's going to, you got to get your get your licks in now while you can.

Speaker: I'm getting it. respect it. um But this Falcons offense, ah Drake London, two catches, 29 yards. and the only The only offensive piece they had was B.J. Robinson, and he had himself a pretty decent day.

Speaker: But I hate to say it, but, like, until Tua or Michael Panix get back, like, you're playing B.J. and that's it on that off. Well, the thing I saw, which was curious, it's more of an NFL thing than a fantasy thing, is normally like the backup QB, if you're hurt, you're still out there with, you know, like a clipboard or something, a headset, something to like get engaged with your teammates or whatever and like be positive.

Speaker: Tua and Michael Penix, both on the bench, hands in pockets, not doing a thing. Hate to see it. That's why they're both not seen as franchise quarterbacks.

Speaker: Bad locker room guys. Can't have that for a starting quarterback. Yeah. Go up there and, you know, you you know you hate that Cooper Rush is playing football. No one wants to watch him, mean and if even if you're his teammate. But you got to support your guy.

Speaker: Help out your bro. Because he needs you. Man, Cooper wrestles bad. He needs him a lot. Two picks. Awful. um Next on the list, the entire Titans offense. Honestly, football team.

Speaker: um i don't I don't hate this Jets team. I think I've said it earlier. I think this Jets team is going to be sneaky decent. like I think they're going to win like five or six games. They have a solid enough defense and a few offensive pieces that...

Speaker: And a really good offensive line to where I'm like, this team doesn't completely suck. But the Titans, man, at home, you're debuting like new jerseys. You're set up. ah You're looking nice. You're looking sexy. Cam Ward, year two, what's happening? And you suck.

Speaker: You don't show up. It was a terrible, terrible outing. And all offseason, it was like, we have something to look forward to with Brian Dayball being an OC again, where he made Josh Allen turn into an absolute superstar.

Speaker: And a nothing, like, had almost zero impact on the entire game. The offense looked bad. And I think it's because they didn't look at Alec Eyemann enough. You know what I mean?

Speaker: Get that kid some looks.

Speaker: I mean, he was the only touchdown scorer on the entire team. I know. He needs more looks.

Speaker: yeah Get Wandale Robinson out of there. What are we doing? Anyways, moving on here. um We have a special guest on the podcast. I hate to call him a special guest because he is in the title.

Speaker: Well, he is special. And he and yeah he he definitely is special. If he's anything, he is special. um And the other thing is special is that his son is maybe person.

Speaker: handicapper in sports betting right now. I don't even know if you'd want to call it sport. They're game picking right now. um So at least someone in that family knows what they're doing.

Speaker: um the z The Z and ZNG Dynasty, Zig, Dakota Ziegler, thank you for gracing us with your presence today, big fella.

Speaker: ah Test, test, test. Does this actually work? I yeah can't tell. Yeah, it's on, buddy. I mean, there's so much dust on this thing. I mean, it's bad. That is our microphone. You do have headphones on, and you look great.

Speaker: I feel pretty good. i'm not going to lie. a lot of stuff happening, you know. Since the last time I joined, had a little girl. She was six months old already. Isn't that crazy? Insane, dude. I mean, the only downside is the Broncos game. If you didn't get to that yet, it's... Made me want to cry. It's on the list. We're getting there. We're working our way down there. Where where are we at? Where are we at here? We're at a—well, I can move on to the next piece here. Jamar Chase is the next no good for us. um Threw an absolute dud against the Bucs. I thought he would at least start the year pretty well. Two catches, 12 yards. Can't have it. And you know why you can't have it? It's because you have a guy like me.

Speaker: who's playing in a guillotine league. For people that know what a guillotine league is, is there's 18 teams in the entire league, and each week one of the least scoring team gets cut from that league. And take a guess who it was.

Speaker: I mean, it's not the guy we thought that was going cut. That's for sure. No, we didn't. And that's why i have to bring two cigars to our next outing, which is this weekend. But I got cut and I drafted Jamar Chase, I think third overall. I had like the third pick in this draft. I thought I was doing awesome.

Speaker: Jeff Jamar Chase, I had like Stafford, AJ Brown, Devontae Adams. I'm looking nice. Nothing. I was a lowest scoring team by, I think, 20 points. It was embarrassing. I had waddle. We put up a 50 burger in fantasy. yeah That's it.

Speaker: Me and the Chicago Bears.

Speaker: Awful. Can't have it, Chase. I do appreciate the score, though. Thank you. I'm going to get nice ones, too. So sweet this weekend.

Speaker: So sad. next i think we should have Remy pick for you next week next year. Honestly, yes. I will do that. Remy can pick my team because I'm 0 for 2. I think I was cut week 2 last year and week 1 this year. I don't i think it's awful.

Speaker: um The next negative or no good on our list, we have the Los Angeles Chargers. These fellas were, i think, favored by 9.5 points against the Arizona Cardinals at home, by the way, which i don't know if you consider playing in LA a home game, but technically they were at home.

Speaker: Nothing. Lose to the Cardinals by 12. You only scored two touchdowns. so That McConkie goes down with an injury. ah Herbert looks butt. Yeah, and I think now starts a conversation because Herbert is the most glazed, mediocre quarterback in the past three years. Everyone loves him.

Speaker: When are we going to stop? It's either Herbert is bad because if this continues, we either have to put Herbert down the notch or is Mike McDaniel not a good play caller, which I don't believe that. I'd much rather believe Herbert just isn't up the snuff.

Speaker: I've never been a big fan of Herbert. I've never seen the buzz with him. He's never been a my guy. um

Speaker: my My biggest question is Hampton. So the way that Mike McDaniel used A-chan in Miami was amazing. We love A-chan. And part of it is the way he was utilized.

Speaker: And Hampton was not used that way. I expected Hampton to see a lot of, lot ah like what we saw from A-chan, you know, a lot of youde ah utilization. But that wasn't what I saw. Yeah, they're two, I feel like they're two style-wise very different running backs. But you would think that,

Speaker: Mike Baden would be able to figure that out. But slow start for the kid. He did have a touchdown, but he also had a fumble. Kind of a wash game for me. um Next on the list, Scary Terry.

Speaker: Two catches, 14 yards against the Birds. Just placed in a cell on Quintanamo Bay. um Usually this kid is a Philly killer. We kind assumed that he was going to have a good game, but turns out it was Stephon Diggs and Antonio Williams instead. am I going to be right about a wide receiver.

Speaker: Buddy, you need it. I need it so bad. this This is just the birds, you know, making sure it wasn't Terry who beat them. I mean, give the kid another week in my thought.

Speaker: Yeah, you're probably right.

Speaker: ah Next negative, Marshawn Lloyd. um Can't sit here and tell you I had high high expectations for Marshawn Lloyd, but they weren't this low.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't think there's there's much to say here. he was He was filling in for Josh Jacobs after he did some extracurricular activities, and he just dropped the ball, and I don't know how big that ball was to drop.

Speaker: I don't know if this is justified or not, but don't about that. In that same game, Jordan Addison, nothing burger. Speaking of zero, zilches, zero for zero, nothing, two targets. Carl's got to look his way, man.

Speaker: And I think it will next week.

Speaker: Carl's going to do Carl. I mean. He's throwing it down. Hey, JJ's down there somewhere. Hey, man. JJ's down there somewhere is how any quarterback in Minnesota should feel.

Speaker: Give the guy a chance. And Zig, welcome back to the podcast. I'm going to give you this floor for the next one. ah Jalen Waddell and a.k.a. the Denver Broncos are our last no good. What happened the other day?

Speaker: Yesterday. So, do you know who the referee was and during that game? Oh, here we go. No, the Broncos look bad. I mean, bad.

Speaker: I mean, we I chop it up to single-A high school football. Missing tackles, poor utilization. Like, this better have been just a, you know, just a poor start, you know. I'd like to see more out of Davis Webb. I know he's a mastermind, but let's get some more... ah more giddy up here, for lack of better words. Like, it looked bad.

Speaker: First-time offensive play caller got absolutely schooled by Spagnola. Schooled. Did you guys see, Damian, you may have seen this, the Chiefs, when it was time for the huddle, for the ah when the Chiefs were on defense and they huddled up, they were sending like six extra guys into the huddle to see Denver's personnel and then pulled them out at the last second almost every play. They were messing with the Broncos through and through.

Speaker: i mean, Spagnola was— Just mind games. Yeah, for sure. It was impressive. owned um I kind of chalk it up to playing in Kansas City week one and with that new offensive coordinator.

Speaker: but And the refs. Bo Nix didn't look great. Dobbins didn't look good on the ground. Waddle was a non-factor. Sutton was a non-factor. um Hopefully it's just a wash and we get a bounce back week next week, which we'll talk about a little bit Junior, tell your wife I'm not happy with Travis Kelsey. He got away with a hold as well.

Speaker: I'm sure she's really upset. She was just staring at Tom Cruise and Taylor Swift in the, I going to say press box, like they were broadcasting the game, but they were up there in a little booth. Can you imagine, like, tuning into Taylor Swift and Tom Cruise talking about Monday Night got to be better than Chris Collinsworth, right? It has to be. If she would do something and even just, like, put a mic in the room and narrate it, do you know much money they would make off of women tuning into the podcast? They would get millions of views.

Speaker: yeah Millions. Yep. All right, a couple injuries to talk about from week one. Kyler Murray went down with a pretty nasty concussion. Right now, he's still considered just uncertain, but I would expect him to be out at least one week, if not multiple weeks with this one. Pretty bad concussion. Went down early, almost got hit in the head twice, and then the lower neck area. I would expect at least a week, if not two weeks out for Kyler. So, If you need a QB in Dynasty or like Superflex Leagues, Carl's not a bad shout for like a week or two.

Speaker: Any qualms? No qualms here. Zay Flowers um was ah originally listed day-to-day with his hamstring injury, but word comes out it looks like he's probably going to miss at least a game, if not two.

Speaker: um So Zay Flowers is going to me out. Interesting to see what that Baltimore Ravens wide receiver room is going to look like with no Zay Flowers, but to be determined. A.J. Brown goes on the IR. I'm sure everyone saw it on Wednesday night.

Speaker: um High ankle sprain turns in turned into like a pretty major high ankle sprain. So it looks like he's going out at least four weeks. So I know Dobbs had a booty game. Look for your Dobbs. um Ninja Hoosier boy Douglas.

Speaker: Yeah, Demario Douglas, a shoddy shorty, shorty. Shorty. um I like a sneaky Kyle Williams, but we'll talk about him later. um Sam Darnold I would consider week to week. It looks like he's probably going to miss at least one game, if not two. um

Speaker: ah So Drew Locke's probably going to go to get the ball there for at least the next week or two. Kind of a slight downgrade for the offense. But then again, JSN looked f freaking awesome with Drew Locke. So I'm all in for Drew Locke season 2.0. And then Deshaun Stribling, new rookie wide receiver for the Niners. Looks like he's going out at least a month with, I believe, a knee injury. I don't remember correctly. but We can't blame the substation this time. Exactly. Exactly.

Speaker: um That's all the injuries I got. I i think that's all of them, or at least like the big major ones. um But, fellas, are we ready to get into this week one ah week two, I'm sorry, hit breakdown? Because we already went through week one.

Speaker: Look at us being a pod. Let's go. The boys back in action.

Speaker: The boys are back in town. We're getting copyrighted three times this week. Thursday night football. We have the Lions at the Bills. Ooh, baby. This is going to be a good one. um Bills debut in a new stadium.

Speaker: First game in this new stadium besides preseason. um And the Lions, obviously they had a you know wish-wash game against the Saints, but looked pretty good week one. This is going to be a banger game. All the offense, all the points.

Speaker: I like the Bills to win, but I'm expecting a close game. I think the number right now is like 4.5, which for me is way too high. I'll probably take the Lions plus 4.5. I think it's going to be more like ah a field goal game. um I like the over. i like all the points.

Speaker: um On the Bills side of things, obviously you're playing Josh Allen, James Cook. I'm playing DJ Moore. I think he looked good in week one, and I think this is a good matchup for him against a bad Detroit secondary. And Kincaid, man, had himself a day. I almost put him into our goods list just because I'm Dalton Kincaid guy, but bounce back year for him this year. I think he's going to get a lot of targets, a lot of reception, so I'm throwing Kincaid in there, especially my 10 and premium leagues. Any qualms?

Speaker: I have zero qualms. Zero. It's going to be a great game. It's going to be a banger. On the Lions side, Gibbs, Amon Ra, locked in. Don't even think about it.

Speaker: ah Sam Laporta, I'm cool starting him in tight end premium leagues. I think it's a good matchup for him as well. And... ah Jared Goff, super flex league, probably starting him just because you want a piece of this game. And I think J-Mo is probably going a little bit of a bounce back. I think he had an okay week one, but I can see J-Mo catching a big touchdown pass. I expect a big game from him.

Speaker: um And I and think he matches up well against this Bills secondary. I do believe so as well. I don't think there's anyone that can actually keep up with the speed of Jameson Williams. I'm really looking at Laporta this game.

Speaker: ah Bill's linebackers aren't really great in coverage. I think a sneaky little TD score for tight end, I'm happy to go Laporta this week.

Speaker: Yeah, I like that Laporta pick. I'm going to go with a J-Mo pick for my touchdown pick. I think he i think he matches up very well against the secondary. Go ahead. go ahead I was just trying to look at the over for this game because I think I might smash the over. 53 and a half. Yeah, give me the over.

Speaker: Love it. I think it's going to be like a kind of game. think it's going to be a banger. um Moving on to Sunday. First Sunday game on the slate. Bengals at Texans. Another big game for the Texans. Texans kind of have a rough schedule this year. um And I think it's a tough matchup for the Bengals. I like the Texans to win at home, staying at home.

Speaker: um But I don't know what this defense is going to look like. Bengals side of things, you're playing Burrow, playing Chase Brown, playing Jamar Chase, even with a bounce back week. Um, I think T Higgins is a good matchup as well. Um,

Speaker: I don't even know if this is a tough de defensive matchup against the Texans because, you know, the Bills kind of not lit him up last week, we but up 36 points. Like, that's a good week. But then do you contribute that to playing against James Cook and Josh Allen? Like, it's kind of hard to tell.

Speaker: And Gasicki, I'm saying Gasicki, even though he had a touchdown catch last week, i'm I'm out on him. But any qualms on the Bengals side of things? Ain't no qualms. Just one thing to say, this is the Ninjas game of the week.

Speaker: gonna be another good one um text inside playing nico nico collins thank you i was waiting for it uh david montgomery look like a stud you're playing them in this matchup i don't think the bangles rush defense is very good even though they traded for dexter lawrence to be determined stroud's good in super flex leagues and i'm throwing out there i like a cheeky jalen noel like I like the way he was utilized week one. I think he can see some more targets, see some more game plan. So I like a cheeky, cheeky Jalen Noel. I don't know if I'm starting him, but I just want to throw it out there in case he does make a big play.

Speaker: So I said this in week one, Junior, and you weren't on board at all. What changed your mind? Was it me? You and also I did watch the game and he looks quick. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: I love the way he plays. He's my kind of wide receiver. Small, slack guy, but quick. Shifty. Yeah. love Love getting shifty. ah Next game here, we have Packers at the Jets. um Jets look solid week one, but it was the Titans. um And then turnovers kind of killed that Packers team, but all in all, they look pretty okay. um I think this Jets defense matches up very nicely against the Packers to continue to create turnovers.

Speaker: um I think there's going to low scoring. I like the under for this game. Jets side, give me Brees Hall, Garrett Wilson. i think they're fine. I'm not expecting anything crazy for him, but like Brees Hall, you're starting. Garrett Wilson, you're starting. um I'm good. Nothing else. Sadiq, I'm sitting.

Speaker: um I love Adonai Mitchell, but sitting him for this week. Any qualms for the Jets? Yes, I have one. um I think I saw enough with how Frank Reich is going to use Kenyon Sadiq. I'm okay starting him in tight end premium leagues.

Speaker: I mean, if you have a stud, play your stud. But if you got like a kind of so-so kind of guy, i had no qualms starting Sadiq this week.

Speaker: I don't hate that. I like the player a lot. Packers side. You're starring Christian Watson. Love it. I'm so happy with this nickname. I wish Zig was here to be able to double down with it for me. But um love Watson.

Speaker: I love love. I like Golden, even though it's a tough matchup. And I think you've got to play Tucker Craft if you drafted him. um And I'm not playing a running back. Marshall Lloyd can kick rocks.

Speaker: Until Caleb Johnson takes over that backfield and I get interested, I'm out.

Speaker: Ain't got no qualms here either, brother. I do think this is going to be a pretty low-scoring game as well, so I'm not super excited for it fantasy-wise, but if you have the players in the game, you kind of have to start them.

Speaker: uh saints at ravens i think this is going to be a sneaky very good game um the ravens look legit like very good against the colts and i think the seats kind of got lucky at end the end game to keep it close against detroit um i'm interested to see what that ravens wide receiver room looks like after nose a flowers are we getting elijah surratt in the field can't be a healthy scratch cannot be Jacoby Lane, he he himself might even be injured if he's out. What's his team look like? Bateman, Surratt, we bring in Dez Walker out of the grave. Like, what's happening? like Keep me interested.

Speaker: But with that being said, if I'm picking... This game, I think the snake the Saints are pretty live. If the Ravens got no wide receivers and they can't move the ball, they're going to get one-dimensional, and I think the Saints got a chance.

Speaker: Giving the Saints in ah in an upset um on the Saints side, I like Etienne. I like Olave. Jawan Johnson, all very st solid picks.

Speaker: After that, I'm kind of out. Valle seems like the pretty solidified wide receiver too there, but he's going to be unpredictable for the rest of the season. Kenji Miller also seems theyre like the running back too there with Kamara out, and he's going to get some touches, but same thing.

Speaker: Kind of going to be unpredictable. Any qualms there? No, no qualms. My biggest thing, and you brought it up, was the wide receivers. Do we finally get to see Surratt a healthy scratch week one? And after summer scouting, you and me both agreed that he was should be the wide receiver to play there. And with Jacoby Lane suffering an injury, i think Surratt could really get his hands in this offense. And I think once he gets it,

Speaker: he's not going to lose it. I don't like any other wide receiver there. ah Sarat's a stud. Watch the offseason episodes. But other than that, absolutely no qualms. Love the Saints outright dogs this game.

Speaker: Right. um And then on the Ravens side, i don't know if we have to say it, but you're playing Derek Henry ray you're playing Lamar Jackson. um Waiting and seeing on the wide receiver room, if Surratt ends up starting and there's like nobody else left, I don't know if I'm starting him in my fantasy leagues, but like I'm going to have some... Yeah, like i I don't think I'm there because if I have him on my taxi, I think I'm sitting him for the year. But I think DFS plays or maybe like a little cheeky little five-bucker on your your betting apps, I think that'd be fun.

Speaker: Yeah, ah Mark Andrews would be the only other star there. Yes, you're correct. I forgot to put him in here. Mark Andrews for sure is a star. ah Zig, are you available? Do you have any ah takes on this Saints at Ravens game? What do you think about ETN?

Speaker: Hello? Yeah, buddy. All right. starting Trying to knock all the rust off over here on my end, but yeah it's a work in progress. ah Etienne, I'm hoping to see a lot more out of him. I like him there. I think he's going to be the main guy there. um I believe I heard you say, Junior, that you like the Saints in this game. I do. This is this is a cheeky, upset game. I mean...

Speaker: The Saints are a team I think Junior and I are both kind of like low-key in on. We have a little lineups ah league we're in, kind of like a DK lineup, and it's on FanDuel, and our so crossover was very similar, except one of us did good and the other one did not. so Yeah, one of us won and the other one finished second to last.

Speaker: But if you heard about my guillotine league earlier, you know who finished second. It's amazing this guy's a champion. But the ah Saints are a cheeky one. I think they are going to figure it out. We love Kellen Moore. ah Shuck kind of looks like a guy as well. The first quarter, first half, not and okay not a long-term guy, but a guy that's good enough to get it done.

Speaker: Like who? Fantasy wise. Yes. ah Good enough to get it done. Exactly. ah yeah. I'm not. Yes. I'm talking strictly fantasy here. This is not a Saints. Yes. Yes. But please. Yeah. Put that in there. This is not a, I'm a shuck fan for NFL. He's a big shuck guy. He's going to be a 10 year vet.

Speaker: Don't clip that. The next Drew Brees. Oh, not the best Drew, though. oh You said it. um But, yeah, I love the Saints. Eight-and-a-half-point dogs. I think they're definitely live in that game, giving me them outright.

Speaker: ah Next one here, Birds, the Eagles, going to Tennessee. They're going to Nashville to play of the Titans. um The Eagles kind of snuck by last week against the Commanders. um The Titans looked awful. um The Birds should win this game pretty handily. I think we're like a touchdown favorite.

Speaker: But being an Eagles fan, historically, the Eagles lose these kind of games. They do. I hate to say it. Fraudulent Eagles teams lose these kind of games. I'm not saying we will, but I'm just saying my radar, I'm awoken right now. My spidey senses are tingling.

Speaker: Um... Titan side of things, I'm not playing anybody. ah There's not a single player you can tell me to play, and you can't force me to. If you make me pick one, if you put a gun to my head and make me pick a Titan to play, I'm probably picking Wanda Robinson. And even then, i don't like his matchup. He's going against Cooper DeGene in the slot.

Speaker: I don't love it. Any qualms? No qualms here. Eagleside playing Saquon, playing Jalen Hurts. You're playing Smitty. You're playing Goddard too, man. Holy heck did he have a good week one. um They're all solid starts for me. I'm not i'm not guessing any of them. And Tavian Wicks looked pretty fun.

Speaker: I think he's going to have some duds here and there. I think he's going to have some big games here and there, but I don't know if I'm starting him, but he's someone to keep on your radar. And for me right now, it's going to be a wait and see on, uh, on the Kai lemon. I think he's going to need some time. I think he's going to need a few weeks to get acclimated in the offense.

Speaker: um This would be a week to kind of, you know, if we're up big, maybe get some Mekhi Lemon packages in there. um But I love it. Also, give me a Bird's defensive touchdown against Cam Ward. I think we either get a pick six or a fumble recovery.

Speaker: Zig. I love it. Hey, do you guys know I have more receiving yards than Mekhi Lemon? And he was a first-round draft pick? Yeah, we get it, okay? He caught one backwards pass. I had to throw it out there. I thought that pretty cool stat.

Speaker: Yeah. This is a buy low for Makai Lemon, by the way, for fantasy players. No one's selling. No one's selling. Oh, there's some guy. All right, let me ask question. Let me ask question. There's some guy in your league that's like, oh, no, he didn't do well. Like, there's someone out there.

Speaker: Random 27 first or Makai Lemon.

Speaker: 27 first is tough. I mean, i'm I love, you know me in this 27 class, I'm taking the 27 pick. 28, hammer. No one's doing that.

Speaker: Yeah. if If you're a Makai Lemonoder, and yes, I am, I'm not accepting anything less than a very solid 27 pick. 27 first. I would need a premium, what I think would be a premium 27 pick. I still believe in the kid and his talent. Um,

Speaker: But it's going to take some time. New offense, new player. He's undersized. He's going to like cause he's going to be he's not going to be able to win straight off athleticism i'm in the NFL. He's going to have to win ah with work, production, and route running. And he needs to develop that. So just give some time.

Speaker: Zig. And he missed most of the preseason. Yep. That that was going to be a big point I had. Okay, I'm going to throw out just one C2C guy to Makai Lemon. Ryan Coleman-Williams.

Speaker: No. Makai. He's going to be around that later 27 pick. And I think that's in that 27 class, I think that's where you kind of got to draw the line. So I think we're all on the same page there.

Speaker: Yeah, it's Makai there. But one thing I want to say about the actual game not on Lemon. Goddard, I think it's a good start. But Goddard also has... He's always been a guy where he's going to have a really good week and then he's going to have a dud too. So maybe... ah take a break on like the expectations of Goddard because this one probably won't be a great one for him. He's still going to do okay ah tight end wise in fantasy. Just don't expect this elite production year round because it will fade in and fade out week in week out.

Speaker: Yeah, for sure. He's definitely a guy that you've got to pick and choose your matchups. And this is a matchup they're not going to need him in, so he's definitely a fade this week. Yeah, that's a good shout. ah Next matchup, we've got the Vikings at the Bears. Kaleeb looked absolutely incredible against the but Panthers defense, but, you know, he looked awesome. um The big question is, can Wentz get a road win in Chicago? It's going to be a toughie. I think the Vikings could be live here with a big letdown game from the Bears after putting up a monstrous number against the Panthers. Kind of coming back down to earth here a little bit. i think it's going to be a sneaky close game, especially a divisional matchup. Chicago side, playing Kaleeb, playing Swift. um And then after that, it's kind of like pick your favorites or the rest. I feel pretty good with playing Monungay, but I don't think you have to. um And then it's Odunze, Burden. Loveland, you have to play. You drafted him too high. If you have him in Dynasty, he's like your top tight end. You have to play Colson, Loveland.

Speaker: I still don't know about this Odunze, Burden lineup. Burden looked good, but he had the fumble. Odunze only had a couple touched a couple touches to be determined still for those two guys.

Speaker: Ninja. I'm still in the boat where I start them all just because it was only week one. They threw up a lot of points. kind of didn't I don't think they'll be that successful on the ground again.

Speaker: So look for these wide receiver options to really open up a little bit. I'm still all hands on deck. You start all the Bears, as many as you can get your hands on. Don't hate it.

Speaker: and The Viking side, Justin Jefferson feels the safest. I still feel good with him, even with Carl. um But everyone else kind of feels like a ri' risk. Hawkinson looked okay. Jordan Addison, I think he'll bounce back after the literally zero points last week, so he kind of has to. But with that being said, I don't know if I'm starting him in this matchup.

Speaker: Carl, all right, I got to ask. Carson Wentz, Superflex Leagues, are we playing him in two QBs? Superflex Leagues. Zig.

Speaker: Gosh darn it, I was muted. Rookie mistake. Anyway, I'm playing Carl. This is a... We said it earlier. JJ's down there somewhere. He's going to sling the ball, and he's their best option of quarterback.

Speaker: Kyler was literally knocked out. There's no way he's coming back this week, and if Carl can prove himself, he may be a guy that they just roll with. We've seen the Vikings do it with Sam Darnold. ah Carl's a guy I'm kind of targeting.

Speaker: Don't hate it. I actually don't think this week is a bad week to start your Minnesota running backs, whether it's Jordan Mason or Aaron Jones. The Bears' defensive line is still booty cheeks. So expect, especially with Carl at the helm, to really lean on that run game a little bit. I would wouldn't be surprised if an Aaron Jones or a Jordan Mason had a pretty good day, maybe a tud.

Speaker: Maybe a wide.

Speaker: I don't hate it at all. um Moving on to the next one, we got the Browns at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. um I think the Bucs just own this game. I mean, obviously the Browns stink. They looked awful week one. Deshaun Watson looks awful week one. um The Bucs did kind of shoot themselves in the foot week one against the Bengals. I think they had a total of five turnovers. Baker Mayfield's got to stop running the ball, man. Or if you're going to just slide, go down. He had three fumbles in week one.

Speaker: um I think they really should have won that game. um i think the Browns might only be like garbage time merchants, literally for this entire season. And even then, it's like it's just Sean Watson.

Speaker: He's going to turn the ball over. um i don't know if you can start a Brown with confidence, any of them. ah Even Quinshawn Judkins, I'm looking to sit if I can, if I have another option. And I was a big Judkins guy. My hot take is going to look like God awful at the end of the year. And it's only week one.

Speaker: Any qualms? ah No qualms. This is the last game Deshaun Watson starts. Ever? Yes. Ooh.

Speaker: It's possible. I mean, it was bad. Ooh. Yeah. So I should try to sell all my shares now is what you're saying. Just drop them.

Speaker: um The Bucs side of things, you're playing Baker, you're playing Bucky, you're playing Egbuka. I think they're all solid starts. And Chris Godwin, Kenneth Gainwell, I think are all pretty flex-worthy. I don't know if I would expect a big game from Gainwell because I expect the Bucs to be up and probably just running the ball with Bucky. Yeah.

Speaker: So I'd probably sit Gainwell if you can. Chris Godwin, same thing. Don't know if you have to play him. This is a Bucs BTA a ah plus 13.5 or minus 13.5. Another alt-line game from Ninge.

Speaker: Love it. I did so well week one. It worked out week one, buddy.

Speaker: ah Next game, we have Steelers at the Patriots. The Steelers squeaked by the Falcons, um which, you know, this should have been a route burial blowout, but it wasn't. um And the Patriots had a big disappointing game in Seattle.

Speaker: I feel like this is going to be a gross game. This is my, this would be my pick for, actually, there's two games this week that are my gross picks of the game, gross picks of the week. And this one is probably the top one.

Speaker: I'll say it for you. Ninja's worst game of the week. Yeah, this is going to suck. It's going to be not fun to watch. It's not going to be fun for fantasy. I don't want anything to do with this. um this Is this a 1 o'clock game or a 4 o'clock game? It's a 1 o'clock game. thing Yeah, this should never be on Red Zone.

Speaker: i like I wouldn't be surprised if Chris Boswell in your kicker leagues is a league winner this week. Honestly, might win your week. This game is going to end like 12-6. That would be awesome.

Speaker: ah Steeler side, like Metcalf.

Speaker: Like, are you playing Michael Pittman in this matchup? Pat Freymouth, I guess, kind of touched down. They kind of have to play him next week. But do you? No. You don't. And then are you playing any one of this backfield? Are you playing Jalen Warren? Are you playing Rico Dowdle? I'm not.

Speaker: I think I'd be okay with Jalen Warren as like a flex, but other than that. Zig, any qualms? I mean, not really. Jalen Warren's probably the only one I would try to take a flyer on, but that's if I really have to back into one.

Speaker: no love for Michael Pittman? I do love a good might-man pen, and I own him everywhere, but i I need to see more out of him. Or just let Drew Aller throw the ball.

Speaker: Word. ah Patriot side, I think ma's Drake May's rushing kind of keeps him in the lineup. Obviously, you draft him so high, and he's awesome. But I think you're obviously playing Drake May.

Speaker: But with no A.J. Brown, who knows about this wide receiver room? I like a sneaky Kyle Williams. Give me a Kyle Williams anytime touchdown. Throw it in there for me. i don't know what the odds are. I love it. I think Hunter Henry has a good game, another bounce back game. And I'm going to go on a little bit a rant here if I haven't been doing it the whole podcast.

Speaker: Armandre Stevenson is the worst starting running back I've ever seen for an NFL football team. I've never seen a least, a less talented running back play football and consistently get touches.

Speaker: It blows my mind. He has no burst. He has no wiggle. He has no vision. He has no contact balance. How is this guy starting running back in the NFL? I have no idea. And he continues to get carries.

Speaker: Please give me Trey Van Henderson. Please. Any qualms?

Speaker: I have one qualm, not that I disagree with your take, but I was watching O-line film, as I tend to do in my spare time. This Patriots unit sucks.

Speaker: The Patriots O-line is one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL, and no one ever talks about it. This unit is terrible at at the run game. And a lot of what you're seeing, Junior, is right, but he's also getting hit at the line of scrimmage or before that.

Speaker: It's what we talked about with Ashton Gentry last year. Man, this guy's electric, but he's getting touched two yards behind the line of scrimmage. Not that I'm making that comparison, but the O-lines just stunk that bad.

Speaker: This Patriots O-line is so gross, so bad. And for a Mike Vrabel-led team, I expect a lot more. But this Patriots O-line, they need to figure it out quick or else this season is going to be lost sooner in the season. Like week six, they might just be done with it because this O-line is atrocious. Yeah, I agree. I think they have to move Will Campbell in the guard. And I think they need to start that Caleb Lomo kid they drafted last year i left tackle.

Speaker: They need to change something up because it was nasty last week. yeah um But yeah, no Zig, any qualms?

Speaker: ah No qualms. I mean, the Patriots just seem to really like Stevenson. And like you said, I don't know why, but they just seem to keep utilizing utilizing him a lot more. Really hope that Hendo can kind of, I mean, almost win over the coaching staff is what he needs to do.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't know what kind of blackmail Stevenson's got on Mike Vrabel, but at this point, can it get any worse? It's not Mike Vrabel. It's Robert Kraft. He's got a... they He's got something nasty on him. He has to. He's like, hey, put me out there or I'm letting this leak.

Speaker: It's got to be something gross. Anyways, moving on before we dive down a rabbit hole. ah Panthers at Falcons. Yeah. Panthers kept up pretty well with the Bears last week, putting up 37 points.

Speaker: I think they look pretty good. Bryce Young looked pretty good. Wide receiver room looked pretty good. Juba Hobbert looked pretty good. Hang on, can you repeat one more thing for me? ah You said Bryce Young looked pretty good. Bryce Young looked pretty freaking good last week, brother.

Speaker: Love to hear it. i like I liked a lot what I've seen out of them. And honestly, I liked what I like i liked what i saw out of that O-line for the Panthers as well. what's I don't know if that'll continue, but it looked good week one. You watch an O-line film like me? Love to see it. When anything pops up, you have me watching these guards coming around on rollout blocks, and I am just like...

Speaker: Let the big boys eat, brother. Dude, you'll love to see a guard pull. A guard pull, taking out a linebacker. Oh, my God. love to see an iso trap where that guard just gets to fill that A gap. A running back in pass protect, and you know the linebacker is coming 100 miles an hour at him, but he gets underneath him, and he locks him up, and he holds him.

Speaker: That gets me going. Love it. I mean, we're one of the big boys as well, so we just feel like yeah giving them some love and like here for that. But, Junior, you left out a name in that lineup.

Speaker: I was just getting going. What what the one name might leave out? Oh, I mean, he's better than XL. Jalen Coker game. He's on the list, buddy. I'm not behind. I must be behind. But, like, that guy is phenomenal. And he is, like, the perfect dart throw, flex play. Especially, he's the one I think benefits almost the most out of everyone. I people i mean, outside of Bryce Young.

Speaker: But Bryce Young can eat. Coker's one of the guys who's lowest lower rostered but has a ton of upside that people don't give him credit for. and I think he is just solid. Like, he doesn't do anything super flashy, but he gets open. He makes he catches everything, and he's always available. So I like to get a lot. um Panther side, you're obviously playing Bryce Young. He had a monster week. Superflex League's definitely playing him. Even 1QB leagues, I'd feel pretty okay playing him. ah Tet, bounce back game. and Not even a bounce back game. He didn't have a bad game. He just didn't play as good as Coker did. um And Chubby Hubby looks pretty good. I'm throwing him out as well.

Speaker: um Jalen Coker, for me, is definitely startable in your flex options. like You can do way worse than Jalen Coker for me. And same thing with Darren Waller. I think you can do you can do way worse than Darren Waller.

Speaker: Any qualms? no My only qualm is with ah Darren Waller. ah Please don't start him. Please. Cut a toddy this week. Yeah. One of the first red zone touchdowns this week as well.

Speaker: Was it a callback? lose the Was it a callback? I think there's a flag. ah Let me verify that, but I believe his touchdown. Someone fact-checked me. I'm on it. i like Let's not hop on the train.

Speaker: You know, if Damian sends his tight end bets, I mean, Waller's one. I'm, like, throwing ah a small bet on every week to catch a touchdown. He's just a big, big zone threat. That's what he does, man. That's what he does. On the Falcon side, I'm playing Bijan and I'm out.

Speaker: It doesn't matter who's at QB. if you can If you can find anyone to start over Drake London, and I know you're drafting him high, but if you have anyone to play over him, please do because it's not looking good for them. If Cooper Rush is out there again,

Speaker: i don't i I don't think I can do it. Even against his Panthers defense, I don't think I can do it. Yeah, you got it. This is going to be another gross game, like a lower scoring game, if I were to guess. Probably somewhere around that twenty one twenty four kind of game. ah Pretty gross for me. I would say everyone but Bijan. No exceptions with Cooper Rush out there.

Speaker: Zero. Kyle Pitts, find somebody else. Anybody else. Kylan Granson, you available? Kidding. Not. But...

Speaker: but Moving on to the next game here. ah Raiders at the Chargers. Raiders beat the Dolphins week one, but then again, i don't think the Dolphins could beat IMG Academy. I think the Dolphins are that bad. um Neither could the Chargers, to be honest. I think their team is also just poorly ran.

Speaker: and I'm throwing it out there. Is Harbaugh in the hot seat, man? Am I going to be the first one to have to say it? Is it Harbaugh? No, it's not Harbaugh. I would going down He's not going down with the ship.

Speaker: ah He would go down with the ship, but the ship's not going down this early. Oh, man, it does look good. If they start 1-4, then maybe I see it. But as of right now, he had a bad week one. You need to bounce back against another not-so-good team, and I think they that this week.

Speaker: If they go 0-2 against the Cardinals and the Raiders, you're telling me Harbaugh's not on the hot seat. i I think Herbert's more on the hot... I mean, Harbaugh's going to get the blame for it, but I really do think Herbert needs to be on the hot seat.

Speaker: Someone needs to hold him accountable. Yeah, it's about time someone did. We've been for years, but. Yeah, <unk> I've never been on this train, and I hate to keep saying it, but I don't have many good takes in face football nowadays. I've been kind of coming kind of cold for a while, but I've always been an anti-Justin Herbert guy, and I'm planting my flag.

Speaker: Is he too distracted by Madison Beer? I mean, I would be too. I knew someone was going to say it.

Speaker: I knew you were. Raiders side, Ashton Gentry is awesome. He looked incredible week one. You're playing him no matter what. Keep an eye on the Bowers news. I guess people said he looks better and might actually have a chance to play week two. i haven't heard anything myself.

Speaker: But if Brock Bowers is out, I'm playing Mayers. um But if Brock Bowers is in, even if he's limited, I'm playing him. It's Brock Bowers. And no other wide receivers for me, Raiders, any qualms.

Speaker: I do have one. I know it's Kirko Chains out there. In a flex spot, I don't mind throwing a Jalen Naylor out there. I really don't. Have no qualms with that whatsoever.

Speaker: It'd have to be like a triple flex for me to play Jalen Naylor. That means teams like Ziggs orchestrated, like, you know, you might have to throw a Jalen Naylor and a flex. He's your wide receiver too, dude. He's the main lineup. Just got to put him out there.

Speaker: Yeah. Chargers side, Martin Hampton, still good. You're playing him every week. ah Keep an eye on Ladd. Went down with a hamstring injury week one. I can't remember correctly. um I think his status is up in the air for week two. If he's out, I don't know if I'm playing any one receiver. I'm not really excited about Quinn Johnston.

Speaker: I'm not in. um Justin Herbert, I'm not playing him, man. Superflex leagues, you have to, right? Because he's Justin Herbert. But, like, I don't want to.

Speaker: I thought you were going to go out on a limb there and say, don't even start him in Superflex. I just, like, i i don't want to start him. I understand where you're at. I don't want to either, but I'm going to trust Mike McDaniel.

Speaker: He'll figure it out. He'll get him some looks. He's not working with the speed that he used to have, so all his concepts aren't working right now. They're going to figure it out. They'll get it moving. ah It should be Chargers BTA, but I don't think it will be.

Speaker: ah Mike McDaniel needs to figure this out for Justin Herbert. And fast. So a little fantasy question for you because this could be a real, like, legitimate possibility.

Speaker: I mean, you got Herbert, are you grabbing Wentz, Mr. Carl, off of waiver wires? No, it's still Herbert. Yeah, I mean, I'm playing Herbert over Wentz.

Speaker: But I don't think Herbert is stopping me from not picking up. or and I don't think Herbert is stopping me from picking up Wint. I think I'd pick him up as a third QB in Superflex.

Speaker: I mean, okay, this week only, you're still playing Herbert? Yeah, I'll play Herbert. And I hate it.

Speaker: Man, I kind of want to bet you guys Carl over the Bears. That Bears defense was so bad. wasn't bad. To make Bryce Young look good, well i mean i think I think that's closer than

Speaker: Who let this guy back on the podcast? I know. I'm really debating on muting him. ah Moving on here. Next game. Zig, you can talk about this one more because I'm sure you'd love to. Jaguars at the Broncos. um I think this is a good bounce back week for the Broncos. They have a great opportunity here against the Jags.

Speaker: The Jags did look good, but then again, it was the Browns. Got to, you know, take that with a, you know, they say grain of salt, but, you know, a grain of brown. Yeah. I like the Broncos in the big bounce-up game, bounce-back game at home.

Speaker: ah Broncos side, you got to go back to the well with Sutton and Waddle. You kind of have to. i think Waddle has a bounce-back game. I think Sutton has a bounce-back game. I think it's a better matchup for Bo Nix. He's not playing on the road against Kansas City and Steve Spagnuolo.

Speaker: I would lean Dobbins over Harvey just because of matchup-wise and playing at home. But I think they're both kind of deece for week two against the Jags. But any qualms there, Zig.

Speaker: Nope, no qualms there. I mean, these are both two teams that, you know, this is probably the only game I'll have on during that 4 o'clock slate. I mean, nothing else really standing out at this point. But the ah Broncos, like you said, they need to use Waddle.

Speaker: Waddle needs to be a guy you traded a first-round pick for. You need to utilize. Get him the ball. He is special. He is talented. He can do almost anything all over the field. Get him the ball. um I like the...

Speaker: Dobbins take Dobbins is running back one there ah until he's injured in like next week. But when he's there and healthy, he's the running back one. Most game scripts, great game scripts are going to use him more than any other running back. But like you said, Harvey's always one they can throw in there. He'll be the change of pace. I mean, he's a decent flex play. um Most weeks, the Jaguars, I mean, Parker, Washington, we are boys.

Speaker: Kidd looks amazing. Strange touchdown. i mean, and I think Trevor Lawrence goes back to defeating them this week against the Broncos. um We've always kind of seemed to be weak against players like that, just kind of route us up, especially in the middle of the field. So I'm kind of...

Speaker: I got Parker, and he's not hes he's one I'm not afraid to play against. you know he's's I think he's going to tear it up. Yeah, he's going to play well. um I think you play T-Law in the Superflex leagues if you have to. um parker Parker Washington is a must-start at this point until further notice. Strange is solid. um I don't know if I'd love this matchup for him, but he'll be all right. And then Bashaw Tootin is kind of an interesting one for me.

Speaker: um You would think that the Broncos... Would be a bad matchup for him historically because he a very good defense last year. But Kenneth Walker owned the Broncos Monday night. So does Tewin have a chance?

Speaker: Ninja. So many things. I like what you said, but I think this is a sneaky... Jaguars dog win. They are dogs right now at plus 130.

Speaker: And i I think I like them more than the Broncos here. ah Not really happy with Davis Webb, offensive coordinator, at his first go. It doesn't get much easier because his Jags defense is pretty good. ah But about Darn Tootin, I think he's a start this week.

Speaker: I don't think the the Broncos have lost some key players on defense, ah especially in their front seven, where I'm not as worried about them as last year. i almost think that they're like a fake good defense where they have Pat Sertan and then everything else around them. If they're not getting pressure to the quarterback right away,

Speaker: they're really ex exposed like They can be exposed pretty quickly if you give the quarterback a little bit of time. ah So I'm pretty happy here starting your normal ah Jaguars, you know your Parker Washington.

Speaker: i think Brenton Strange is a must start after last week. I think Tootin's a good start. T-Law's a good start. And give me the Jaguars as slight dogs this week on the road.

Speaker: very cheeky. I don't know if I agree, but it's very cheeky. Chris Rodriguez seemed like he is a no factor there in Jacksonville. and I thought he would be a little bit of a factor.

Speaker: I love to see it. That he's not a factor. Yes. get Get away from my darn tootin' shares, brother. Yeah, get away from my toots.

Speaker: Dolphins at 49ers. Are the good?

Speaker: Are they? is it I don't know. i had a I was fully on the board that the Niners were going to stink this year, and but, I mean, they beat the Rams by 20, so we'll see. um Is Miami drafting Jeremiah Smith number one overall?

Speaker: Like, they're that bad. Obviously, they should probably take Arch Manning, but, like, if Jeremiah Smith's there, you take a Jeremiah Smith? I think they have to. I like the 49ers to win pretty heavily. I don't think this is going to be a close game. I don't think there's much to talk about.

Speaker: Miami side, you're starting HN, and after that I'm out. 49ers side, you're playing CMC, you're playing Kittle, you're playing Mike Evans, you're playing Brock Purdy. I think Debo is even startable at this point, especially against the Dolphins. I think it's ah it's a route.

Speaker: I agree. um Who's the backup running back for the 49ers, Kalen Black? Kalen Black, old Indiana guy. Okay, so I don't even mind starting him in a flex if you're in a pinch or dealing with injuries. um He's going to see a lot of work in the second half. This is a BTA if I ever seen one.

Speaker: 49ers by at least two tuts. yeah They're actually two touchdown favorites in week two of the NFL. That's impressive. As they should be. Wow. um I do love the Kalen Black. I like Kalen Black anytime touchdown bet as well. That'd be funny, fun.

Speaker: um Moving on here, Seahawks at the Cardinals. Seahawks survived um even after losing Darnold early in week one. Their defense looks...

Speaker: Elite. Probably the best defense in league. They looked incredible. I know Drake May didn't look great. I know the Patriots offense at line didn't look great. But that Seahawks defense is very, very, very, very good.

Speaker: um And this Cardinals team looks interesting. They beat the Chargers last week. um You know, happy to see that the floor kid to get off to a good start. um But it should be the Seahawks pretty heavily.

Speaker: Any qualms? No qualms, but I have a feeling this is ah this is a division game. This might stay close for a while. Even with Drew Locke with the... You've seen the meme. You know what I'm going to say. Drew Locke season, baby.

Speaker: That's not where I was going. theres There's a meme out there somewhere where it's a true lock with a, you got it, I don't want to get demonetized. But I think this could stay close for a little bit.

Speaker: um I like what the Cardinals did last week. I think they're using Jeremiah Love pretty well, especially early. We're we're expecting timeshare. We got a timeshare. But I like the touches he got last week. um Early touchdown too.

Speaker: Yep. I think this is still kind of like, Where is Marv? You know what I mean? Like, is he going to... like This is here. If you're not a guy this year, then i was... It might be my worst fantasy like scouting take of all time.

Speaker: If Marv isn't guy this year. He's a universal bust. No one thought Marvin Harrison was going to be this bad. I've never had a miss this bad.

Speaker: Well, maybe have, but... The fact that Kendrick Bourne had eight catches, 75 yards. That's what I'm saying. I don't know if I've ever been more wrong about a guy. And Marv gets a catch for 33 yards. it's It doesn't... i The world was wrong about him.

Speaker: The math ain't math in right now, and I still don't understand why. Does not make any sense. um Cardinals, or I'm sorry, the Seahawks side. We're playing JSN, even with Drew Locke. Not starting Drew Locke, though. Love the kid. I'm probably picking him up in waivers just to have him and put him on my roster, but I'm not starting him. um I think Jadarian Price is startable. I like him in this matchup. He looked electric week one.

Speaker: He's definitely the best running back healthy there right now. So give me Jadarian Price, and probably I'm out for the rest. I agree. No A.J. Barner. um And then Cardinal side, Trey McBride. And I'm out of there.

Speaker: Yeah. I don't love the matchup for the running backs. I don't love the matchup for the rest of the wide receivers. Trey McBride, probably just volume.

Speaker: This is going to be a low-scoring game, I think. Very low-scoring game. Like I said, it's going to be closer than everyone thinks. I agree. Depending what the line is, I might take the Cardinals to cover, depending what the line is. I think the one I saw was about four and a half.

Speaker: Ooh, that's tighter than that I thought it was going to be like a six and a half. Yeah, if it was a touchdown, I think I'd take the cards. But it's if it's like a field goal game, a Yeah, it's little iffy. um Next game here, we have the Commanders at the Cowboys. Another they divisional matchup. A lot of divisional matchups this week. um The Commanders kept it close against the Birds. Dan Quinn's hot seek is basically on fire now.

Speaker: Completely agree. Terry McLaurin, is he dead?

Speaker: I don't know, man. We're getting there. We're getting there. It's getting close. Not only was he locked down last week, he didn't look particularly interested in playing football. Yeah, he kind of was just like out there running cardio for a while.

Speaker: Just straight cardio. um The Cowboys suck. Maybe next year. Giants ran the same concept four times and let Singleton score. Gross. Completely agree. That was your write-up. I hope everyone saw the clip. The same RB flat slash like swing route four times in a row led to a touchdown.

Speaker: Couldn't do anything about it. Yeah, they stink. um Pretty upsetting because... ah What's his name? I think it's Christian Parker. Old defensive backs coach for the Birds from last season. Is now the defense coordinator for the Cowboys. Last name is Parker. I don't know if Christian is his first name. But...

Speaker: I had high hopes for him, to be honest. I thought this Cowboys defense would turn around, and I kind of, you know, he's a homer, home-built, homegrown guy. I wish success for him, even though he went to the Cowboys. Doesn't look good week one. Hopefully he can turn it around.

Speaker: um Commander's side. Jaden Daniels. Probably not playing Terry. don't feel about it. I don't feel good about Jaden either.

Speaker: I think Jaden Daniels can have himself a game. um He's probably the only one I'm playing on the commander side, though. I don't think I'm playing Terry. I'm not playing tight end. Even with Diggs' big week one game, I'm not playing him. I love Antonio Williams.

Speaker: But he's a dynasty taxi stash for the whole year, unless something happens.

Speaker: I can live with that. Many qualms.

Speaker: ah Cowboy star side, you're starting all them. Dak, Javante, Pickens, Lamb, Jake Ferg, you're playing all. You have to.

Speaker: this is This might be like a BTA, Cowboys get a 50-burger and just run it run it rampant. I do like this to be a very high-scoring game. I think this is going to be like the Cowboys just own the commanders offensively and Jaden Daniels has to play like hero ball, and that's why I think he kind of has a decent game. I think a lot of rushing yards for Jaden Daniels, probably an anytime touchdown for him as well. I think he i think he puts it all on his shoulders.

Speaker: Yeah, but if I had to pick, it's it's Cowboys by quite a bit. <unk> least Right now, three-and-a-half-point favorites. I mean, to be honest, I'd rather the Commanders win, but we won't get into that.

Speaker: It's too early for the divisional predictions. Yeah, it's early for that. Yeah, but see what you're saying, though. ah Moving on here, Sunday Night Football, Colts at the Chiefs. Another primetime game for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker: Who is doing this? i Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. I was going to save my rant for the Monday night game because we have the same freaking thing happening with the same teams playing primetime games. I don't understand.

Speaker: Anyways, Colts got absolutely owned by Derrick Henry and the Baltimore Ravens. Um... We're not completely out on this team, but we need to find something. I do like the c Colts, but, man, it looked rough week one. um And then the Chiefs own the Broncos at home.

Speaker: ah Depending on the matchup, Ninja. Liking the Colts to cover a close number. Yeah, ah like I said, I think this they like the Colts played a really good team in the Ravens.

Speaker: I think they figured out against a team I'm not so high on, on on the Chiefs. um The tough thing is they're on the road at Arrowhead, ah but I do like a nice bounce back game from Daniel Jones. I think I'll figure it out.

Speaker: ah Hopefully, Shane Steichen, you better be working some magic there or else be my O.C. Love it. I would absolutely love it for next year. I've been saying it for literally years now. Zig, are you with us? And do you have any any takes for this Colts-Chiefs game?

Speaker: I think I'm back. I think I survived this ah the little comeback here. And um yeah, let's go Colts. Six and a half point underdogs right now. I think I love it. Oh, give me that line. I hate that it's not. If it was seven and a half, I'd love it even more. But even at six and a half, I think I like the Colts to keep it close. We love alt lines here. I'll take that alt line, seven and a half. Love it.

Speaker: Playing the juice. I'll play the juice. Colts side of things. JT's a stud. You're playing them regardless. Matchup undependent. You're playing Jonathan Taylor.

Speaker: Everyone else after that, eh. Daniel Jones doesn't feel great. Superflex Leagues even doesn't feel great. Tyler Warren, I'm playing Tyler Warren if I have him, even in one tight end leagues.

Speaker: But wide receiver-wise, i don't love any of them. If I had to pick one, give me Josh Downs. Any qualms? No qualms.

Speaker: Chiefs side, Kenneth Walker looked incredible week one. I expect the same week two. Mahomes are starting one QB leagues and Superflex leagues starting Mahomes. And Rashearais also looked good as well week one. Other than that, though, Kelsey, eh.

Speaker: Two tight end leagues probably, but other than that, I'm at Ziggy. Real quick, I want to go over K9's utilization because I have a friend that's a Chiefs fan.

Speaker: And as much as he loved the win, he was worried the Chiefs were using K9 too much and because he hasn't held up over a season oh over a whole season very well.

Speaker: And to keep him fresh for the playoffs, he thinks they should use K9 less. Agree? Disagree? What's your thoughts with his utilization?

Speaker: I mean, that's what Seattle did, and it kind of worked because they had another option. ah But, I mean, the Chiefs do have another option. They just don't seem to like them a lot, and Rashard Smith, ah more of a third down pass catcher kind of back. But they don't really have like – like, I like Emmitt Johnson, but is he ready to like, be like a like a secondary option, like a 1B?

Speaker: i don't really think so. I think they need K-9 to actually win games. I was going to say that as well. I think you can you can play that card if you have a Zach Charbonnet.

Speaker: I don't think you can play that card with no disrespect, Ninja, but if you have a Bishad Smith. Like Kenneth Walker is the matchup other teams are playing against.

Speaker: you yeah You have to utilize him. I think maybe towards the end of the year, you you can kind of weasel him down a little bit and try and save him for the playoffs. But right now, we're trying to win football games. And he's a running back. He just played him big money. He he wasn't super banged up um the over the last couple seasons. So I say run him as much as he can. If it's a working, it's working. and Keep moving.

Speaker: Monday night football. We have the Giants at the Rams. And, man. Why do they keep putting these same teams in primetime spots week in and week out? We get another Giants matchup. We get another Rams matchup. Another Chiefs matchup. it's i' I'm tired of it. Switch it up. I know no one wants to watch the Raiders versus the Chargers game. I understand that. You're doing it for ratings. You're doing it for numbers. But if you want to grow the game,

Speaker: You got to give everyone's fan base their time to shine. That's all I'm saying. Anyways, back to football. Back-to-back primetime games for both the Giants and the Rams. Booty. um I feel like the Rams can bounce back here, but the Giants looked pretty good against the Cowgirls. I think it's a close game, but high scoring.

Speaker: Giants side, got to play Dart right now. to play Scadaboo right now. And you're rolling with Isaiah, likely. ah Monster week one, you kind of got to roll him out there as well. he I feel like he's going to be an up and down kind of guy.

Speaker: But after week one, you have to play him. um And if Malik Nabors is still healthy and still good to go, I think you're playing him as well. But after that, I'm good for the Giants side. Any qualms?

Speaker: No qualms. Zero. Zero.

Speaker: Rams. Puka? Have to. Devontae Adams? Have to. Kyron Williams? Have to. All starts. Stafford, I think, is good in a super flex league. After that, though, I think I'm good.

Speaker: Not playing tight end, even though I love T-Ferg.

Speaker: Any qualms? I think this would be a matchup for T-Ferg. Against a giant secondary? That's cheeky. Yeah. Do we have to start? like I have no qualms other than that.

Speaker: I knew you were going to say that. i think you have to. Yes. yes Especially like three wide receiver leagues, super flex leagues, flex leagues. You have to play Devontae Adams.

Speaker: I mean, you saw the goal line work he got last year. Like, you have to. It's going to. Unless he just keeps putting up dud after dud. I'm playing Devontae Adams until further notice. Agreed. We'll go down to shit. that That wraps up ah our week two recap, or I guess pre-cap.

Speaker: i' Fellas, ZNG Parlay of the Week. A little bit of a ah post view into what happened last week. um So, Zig, I don't know. Did your touchdown pick hit for week one?

Speaker: Yeah, buddy. I'm in raw. I'm in raw. I know my touchdown pick, Nico Collins, hit for week one. Ninja, did your touchdown pick for week one hit? No, no, no. Paid to see it. am 0 for 1 right now. Yep. And the fact he didn't take Nico Collins as well. And he Junior just- He was- Just kind of eat him alive. I talked to Junior about it before this podcast. was between Nico and Smitty. And I was like, I pick Nico all the time. Let me diversify the portfolio and see, you know-

Speaker: what I'm working with, so I'm not always just the Nico guy. I'm trying to branch out a little bit. I respect that. It bit me in the butt. It was the last two picks, that like, I was deciding between Smitty and Nico, and I literally was like, I don't want to pick Nico every time.

Speaker: I respect that. The funny thing is is, I took Gary's guy. Gary took your guy and we kind of just left Ninja Stranded out there. True, actually. Yeah. um If I didn't go Nico, I probably was going to go back to the Josh Allen well that I did week one last year and that would have went fine as well.

Speaker: that was That was my guy I was debating on, Josh Allen or Nico. But anyways. ah Bringing it back to week two now. So with ZNG Dynasty Parlay, we give you guys one touchdown pick and you parlay them all together. And hopefully we win you guys some money. ah Ninja, if you don't win week one, make sure you win week two, buddy. Who you got?

Speaker: Amen, brother. I'm trying to get on the scoreboard. We got CMC at the chalkiest pick of the week at minus 200. I almost put in here, he's got two tuds and that'll be my bet, but I won't go that far. I need to win first. Yeah, him scoring two is like plus 100. It has to be. Chalkiest pick I've ever seen. Zig, who you got this week?

Speaker: I mean, we've been saying it all podcast. JJ's down there somewhere. Carl's going to throw JJ a touchdown at the only positive plus 115. but plus one fifteen Correct. Don't hate that. Good matchup. Just don't know if I love Carl, but to be determined.

Speaker: But i I don't hate that at all. um I'm going a little chalky. I'm going a little bit of a homer pick. I like Saquon Barkley to score against Titans this week. um I think it's a good matchup for him. I think they get him going. They have to get him going. And right now, he's only minus 120, which I know it's a minus.

Speaker: But... a starting running back for a pretty solid offense at minus 120 odds. I like those odds. So give me Saquon minus 120. Zig, any chance you can do, oh, you don't have the doc. I can do the math quick on what those odds are, but um I have Saquon at minus 120. Ninja has CMC at minus 200 and Zig has Justin Jefferson at plus 115. Ninja, what's your ninjas parlay this week, buddy?

Speaker: Man, ah we kind of struck out last week. ah Brock Bowers went down. Colson Lovelland put up a dud. But guess what? We recover. Week one, had to go out there on a limb with the tight end parlay. We're going to reel it back this week this week on a bunch of matchups I like.

Speaker: Give me a Mecca Agbuka against the Browns. This is going to be a BTA. a This is a Baker Mayfield revenge game. Expect him to throw it all over the yard. Mecca Agbuka at plus 180. Tett McMillan at plus 175 against a shaky Falcons defense. Jamar Chase didn't score last week. Guess what? He's not getting... Blanked again. Jamar Chase at plus 115. And then another case for a stud. George Pickens got blanked last week. Didn't have a touchdown. He'll get one this week against what should be a BTA against the Commanders at plus 140. If you were to add all those guys up,

Speaker: you get plus $3,873 odds. $5 wins you 200 big ones, 200 bones from the Ninja, free of charge, except the $5 you put into it.

Speaker: Love to see it. Love to see it. I like that. This is a really good Ninja parlay. like this is Usually Ninja throws out some wild parlays out there, and, I mean, they hit more often than you'd like to say they would. But this is this is one I'm totally backing here. Great picks, Ninja. Yeah.

Speaker: I will have this on my betting slip come Sunday as well. And then the odds for the ZNG parlay this week are plus 491. So your $10 bet's going to win you 50 bucks. We went pretty chalky this week. We're trying to win you guys some money, but hopefully everybody hits and we send you guys home with some cash. So um those are parlays of the week. There's your breakdown for this week, fellas.

Speaker: Holy crap. We got three play three people on a part podcast. Zig, how do you feel coming back today, big guy? I'm so excited to be back. Little rusty, you know, we're working with a new studio, trying to work out some kinks behind the scenes. that That's your boy's part. So I'll take all the blame for all of these ah hiccups going on, but we're going try to iron them out here and get back for you full force by next week or maybe week four here.

Speaker: ninja after missing a podcast like week buddy i i missed you i gotta say those solo pods i was glad we were able to put something out there before week one but man they're tough to do without my boy so thank you for coming back um how's it feel being back behind the uh behind the sticks It feels good.

And I had so many good things I wanted to say about a lot of good people. And I had a lot of like rod and dogs in there I couldn't get in. yeah And it was just, it broke my heart. I was pissed all week about it. Happy that the boys are back at full force. And I will be back next week if I do have to go to the owner of the previous show.

Speaker: company we used and strangle him. I will be on the podcast. I'm not missing one because of technical difficulties ever again. People, I was here for you. I almost put out a solo one, but I didn't have anything to talk about just so I could get my voice out there, my opinions out there. I'm not missing one again.
