Baker
I literally have the highest Internet that Spectrum offers.
00:03:26
Sully Shaheed
Ah, Spectrum.
00:03:27
Chilly

00:03:29
Sully Shaheed

Sully Shaheed
There it
00:03:30
Chilly
Baker.
00:03:30
Chilly
I don't mean to counter your point, but I have Spectrum. I have one of the highest internets that you can buy as well. don't have those problems. Okay.
00:03:43
Chilly
Now, don't know it's because you you know you're in the apartment. i don't know that has something to do with it. Maybe you don't get the the the bandwidth, you know.
00:03:52
Sully Shaheed
is. Is someone stealing your internet?
00:03:55
Baker
I mean, that's what I know of. ah and Last time I checked, it was only my devices connected to my internet, but who knows? Maybe I need to check again.
00:04:02
Sully Shaheed
Oh, so funny. I don't know if I told you guys. So like I have AT&T Internet or whatever, and you know, you like can name your Internet or whatever. And before I moved in, you know, like you're looking for the connection and you see like the drop down of all the ones that are selectable, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:18
Sully Shaheed
Anyway, I named mine pretty fly for a Wi-Fi. Whatever. The basic name.
00:04:23
Baker
q
00:04:24
Sully Shaheed
you know I'm saying?
00:04:25
Baker
It's cute.
00:04:26
Sully Shaheed
So then a month later, i get the drop down because I'm resetting my like either the router or like the fire stick or whatever. And then two of my neighbors, it's pretty fly for a Wi-Fi is their name, but it's got spaces.
00:04:40
Sully Shaheed
And then the one underneath is pretty fly for a Wi-Fi junior.
00:04:44
Baker
a
00:04:46
Sully Shaheed
so So either I'm getting my internet stolen by two of my neighbors and they're making it really obvious that they're doing it, or they're just being funny to be like a building type thing.
00:04:56
Baker
I'm
00:04:58
Sully Shaheed
You know what I'm saying?
00:05:00
Baker
going say they're being funny.
00:05:01
Chilly
they're probably, yeah.
00:05:01
Sully Shaheed
um I'm hoping they're being funny. I'm hoping they're being funny.
00:05:04
Chilly
Yeah.
00:05:05
Sully Shaheed
Because everything seems to run smooth, but, you know.
00:05:08
Baker
I mean, i do have new neighbors.
00:05:09
Sully Shaheed
Anywho.
00:05:09
Baker
I do have new neighbors above me. So who knows? They might be taking my, uh, they may be taking my wifi and I don't realize it yet. So,
00:05:16
Sully Shaheed
There it is. There it is.

Baker
First of all, the original Let's Ride, fuck that guy, okay?
00:05:47
Chilly
I mean, i feel like I feel like his beef was warranted.

Sully Shaheed
Right.
00:05:51
Chilly
i was actually proud of Russ for sticking up for himself.
00:05:54
Sully Shaheed
hmm. Mm hmm. 100% agree. 100% agree. Screw off, Sean Payton. Fuck off. Chill. How was your week ah seven?
00:06:08
Chilly
It was okay. Like I said, it was kind of just middle of the road. um My early only stuff, I had like four lineups that were within like 10 points of cashing. So that was depressing.
00:06:19
Chilly
um So yeah, but the afternoon only, i kind of recouped some of it. Not all, but yeah like I said, middle of the road. Can't really, you know, that's football.
00:06:30
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, forward-thinking show.
00:06:30

00:06:31
Sully Shaheed
But, Beck, recap week seven in nutshell.
00:06:35
Baker
I mean, we we we we locked in Quincean Jenkins. We locked in Rasheed Rice. I know, real crazy takes there, locking in those two ah players. And then we were waiting on the afternoon to see what happened.
00:06:47
Baker
Bo Nix and his miracle saved my day. ah Gave me a little bit of a late sweat. ah But little Bill had done nothing by time Bo Nix decided to do something, which basically told me I had no shot. Yeah.
00:06:59
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, the little Bill stuff was was kind of rough. That's that's for sure. ah But yeah, like said, forward-thinking show.

00:07:55
Baker
Completely random. Completely random. Yes.
00:07:57
Sully Shaheed
Yeah. Anywho, ah yeah, let's talk about football and not HR-related stuff because this is my primary job, Baker. Not what I do.
00:08:06
Chilly
yes
00:08:08
Baker

00:08:16
Chilly
Hey, we we recorded. we recorded
00:08:19

00:08:33
Baker
I don't know what the fuck a mega-a-quaza is. Okay?

Chilly
It's a Rayquaza.
00:08:46
Sully Shaheed
Uh, Mega Rekwaza is a a dragon slash flying type Pokemon. Uh, with a meteorite, you can teach it dragon ascent, one of the most powerful moves in all of Pokemon.
00:08:59
Sully Shaheed
Uh, he's a legendary, classified as a legendary Pokemon.
00:08:59
Chilly
then comes down.
00:09:03
Sully Shaheed
Uh,
00:09:05
Baker
So, all right, all this Pokemon shit has gone to a whole different level.
00:09:05
Chilly
if
00:09:08
Baker
Like, I remember being a part of the Pokemon, you know what I'm saying, nerd stuff back in the day. Pokemon cards, playing the video games, watching the TV shows.
00:09:13
Chilly
Baker, baker let's see how far you're let's see how far behind are you.
00:09:16
Baker
um
00:09:17
Chilly
at what ah How many Pokemon do you think are in existence? Like, when did you stop?
00:09:24
Baker
I mean, I would stop around 150.
00:09:26
Chilly
Oh, Baker, you are... Baker, bigger we can't even have this conversation with you.
00:09:31
Sully Shaheed
Can't even have it.
00:09:32
Chilly
We can't even have it.
00:09:32
Baker
And that's not that's my point, though.
00:09:33
Sully Shaheed
Can't even have it.
00:09:34
Baker
Like, y'all done taken this shit too goddamn far. Like, this shit's absolutely ridiculous right now There's 10,473 fucking Pokemon. That's too many goddamn Pokemon. You can't catch them all, goddammit.
00:09:46
Chilly
You can.
00:09:46
Sully Shaheed
ah The new ah new Legend ZA just came out on the Switch 2.
00:09:50
Chilly
Yes, it did.
00:09:52
Baker
Did you just speak German to me?
00:09:54
Sully Shaheed
It's the new Pokemon game. It's on the Switch 2.
00:09:56
Chilly
Yes, correct.
00:09:57
Sully Shaheed
It came out a couple days ago.
00:09:59
Baker
i thought I thought you were talking German because I don't know what the hell you just said.
00:10:05
Sully Shaheed
Okay, I'll get to little talk about things you can understand. Let's talk about football then, Baker. God, it's almost like on a football podcast. It's so stupid.
00:10:14
Baker
You're so stupid.
Tribute to Injured Players
00:10:16
Sully Shaheed
I talk about football on a football podcast.
00:10:17
Baker
I mean, can can we pour one out before we talk about football? Can we pour one out for the people?
00:10:21
Sully Shaheed
Yes, of course.
00:10:21
Baker
Shit. God damn it.
00:10:23
Sully Shaheed
You know what the tradition is. And we'll get into it because this one's going to hurt more than others have in the past. Okay? So if you don't... I'm choked up.
00:10:35
Sully Shaheed
i just I don't want to do it. I'm going it. I'm going to do it.
00:10:41
Sully Shaheed
For those of you listening on the podcast streets, in your car, at home, or if you're on the YouTubes, sitting on the toilet, taking a big dump, To raise the glass, whether it be water, pop, in Baker's case moon or baker case, wine, mine is the moonshine for the night.
00:10:53
Chilly
Thank
00:10:59
Chilly

00:11:01
Sully Shaheed
We must pay tribute to those we lost in week seven.
00:11:05
Baker
Mm-hmm.
00:11:09
Sully Shaheed
Dayton Daniels, hamstring, hip, groin, something like that. Nico Collins, head,
00:11:20
Sully Shaheed
Justin Fields for being absolute ass.
00:11:23
Baker

Sully Shaheed
Hassan Haskins for wasting all of her crap dollars.
00:11:30
Baker
Yeah.
00:11:32
Sully Shaheed
Mine in particular. Fucking bastard. And I don't want to say it. I want say it.
00:11:45
Sully Shaheed
Mike Evans every week, bro.
00:11:52
Sully Shaheed
broken clavicle. He's gone. The thousand-yard streak is gone. This whole podcast gone. We will wish you all a speedy recovery as we raise the glass for you the fall of week seven.
00:12:13
Sully Shaheed
don't want to this anymore.
00:12:17
Sully Shaheed
I just so hurt.
00:12:18
Baker
So instead of Mike Evans every week, bro, it's now Mike Evans not this year, bro.
00:12:25
Sully Shaheed
It just hurts so bad to lose one of the greats, one of the staples here on the DFS Deli. I'm going miss you, Mike Evans. going miss you.
00:12:38
Sully Shaheed
Okay. Did we miss anybody of note?
00:12:44
Baker
not sure if we missed anybody.
00:12:44
Sully Shaheed
I feel like i always do, but...
00:12:45
Baker
I'm not sure if we missed anybody. To the Dolphins offense, just completely being gone. Is that a thing?
00:12:55
Sully Shaheed
Tua Tungvalu. Rest in peace.
00:12:57
Chilly
ed
00:12:59
Baker
Sorry, Chil. Sorry.
00:13:01
Chilly
ah Don't be. i if i was a Browns fan, I'd be pissed that the Browns won that game.
00:13:02
Baker
and
00:13:08
Sully Shaheed
Explain yourself.
00:13:11
Chilly
Just higher draft pick, bro.
00:13:14
Sully Shaheed
There's just too many shitty teams in NFL to even combat for, you know, draft picks. I mean, regardless, they'll still be a top five pick, but.
00:13:23
Baker
Yeah.
Quarterback Picks for Week Eight
00:13:25
Sully Shaheed
They were never getting one.
00:13:25
Chilly
I...
00:13:26
Sully Shaheed
They were never getting two. So who cares?
00:13:28
Chilly
They could have got two.
00:13:30
Sully Shaheed
How? When are the Jets winning a game?
00:13:33
Chilly
I said they could have.
00:13:33
Sully Shaheed
When are the Titans winning another game?
00:13:36
Baker
Do they play the Cardinals again?
00:13:37
Chilly
Oh, the Titans. The Titans will win. I think the Titans will win another game. The Jets? Well, I don't know.
00:13:46
Sully Shaheed
Oh, that's what I'm saying, dog.
00:13:50
Baker
If they make the move to tie rod, they may win a game.
00:13:50
Chilly
don't know.
00:13:55
Sully Shaheed
Tyrod's hurt.
00:13:55
Chilly
of
00:13:56
Baker
Oh, oh, i didn't know he was hurt.
00:13:58
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, he's he's questionable and like truly questionable. So like, who's the Jets third string quarterback? Because we all know the owner don't want to play. They want to see Justin Fields on the field anymore.
00:14:11
Baker
If we could only complete a pass.
00:14:14
Sully Shaheed
You want to talk about just being tossed, not even tossed under the bus. Like, when he was driving the bus, hit Justin Fields, backed it up, ran him over again, and then parked on him.
00:14:27
Sully Shaheed
That was bad.
00:14:31
Chilly
I mean, rightfully so, though.
00:14:35
Baker
According to their official depth chart, they've very...
00:14:35
Sully Shaheed
Chili. Chili. Quarterbacks.
00:14:37
Chilly
on. Hold I will say the Titans do play the Browns.
00:14:45
Sully Shaheed
Listen, if Justin Fields such a bad quarterback, why is he one of two ah starting quarterbacks in the NFL without an interception? Hmm? Hmm?
00:14:53
Chilly
He sucks.
00:14:55
Sully Shaheed
Hmm? Zero. Zero interceptions, sir.
00:14:57
Chilly
Yeah, that's great. does that That don't mean shit. You hate...
00:15:01
Sully Shaheed
you know who zero you know how You know who else has zero interceptions ah with a minimum pass of above 50?
00:15:01
Baker
oh
00:15:07
Sully Shaheed
Hmm? Hmm? Do you know?
00:15:12
Chilly
Drake May.
00:15:13
Sully Shaheed
Dylan Gabriel.
00:15:17
Sully Shaheed
That's the class that Justin Fields is in.
00:15:21
Chilly
That's not the class he wants to be in.
00:15:23
Baker
No. No.
00:15:25
Sully Shaheed
No.
00:15:25
Baker
No.
00:15:26
Sully Shaheed
No. No. Drake May has one. One or two. One of the two. Drake May has been fantastic.
00:15:35
Sully Shaheed
But anywho, we'll talk aboutll we'll talk about quarterbacks. I guess this is good segue to are so quarterbacks. Baker, who we liking this week? And why is it Lamar Jackson?
00:15:44
Baker
Well, just like that game. but like Let's be very clear about my thought process going into this week. I like that game. Hopefully, you know, there's no weather concerns. I don't see anything yet, but obviously it is the Midwest, so things can change as we as we are you in October.
00:16:01
Baker
But, yeah, Lamar Jackson, Caleb Williams.
00:16:02
Chilly
this ah say Does that count as the Midwest?
00:16:08
Chilly
i
00:16:08
Baker
Okay, the East Coast?
00:16:09
Chilly
They're at Baltimore, right?
00:16:10
Baker
East Coast? East Coast. I was thinking about Chicago.
00:16:10
Sully Shaheed
Wait, over in Baltimore?
00:16:13
Sully Shaheed
It's close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're technically on that line.
00:16:18
Baker
Yeah. But, yeah, East Coast. East Coast. Yeah, you're right.
00:16:21
Chilly
ish
00:16:22
Baker
But but Caleb Williams and Lamar Jackson are my one and two with a bullet. That's just a game I want access to. Obviously, this Baltimore defense has been a carnival ride, even though it seems like they might be getting a little bit healthier.
00:16:35
Baker
They were healthy early in the season, still getting torched. So coming off their bye week, I'm not expecting that things have changed that much. And Chicago's defense has been better, but Chicago's defense can be had, especially in the air.
00:16:47
Baker
so load up me some So load me up some Lamar. And if the Ravens are going to make a run, it's going to come on the back of Super Lamar going Super Sane, you know, basically for the rest of the season.
00:16:58
Baker
So Lamar Jackson, ah Caleb Williams, one and two with an absolute bullet for me this week.
00:16:59
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, I mean... Yeah...
00:17:05
Chilly
I mean, they have they have to win this game.
00:17:05
Sully Shaheed
yeah
00:17:09
Sully Shaheed
Yeah, Lamar returned to practice in limited fashion today. Again, it's a Wednesday night that we're recording. He was actually working with the third team behind Snoop and our buddy Cooper Rush. um Yeah, if Lamar plays, I mean, Vegas thinks he's going to play because it's the highest total on the board, and that is strictly off the back of Lamar actually playing.
00:17:28
Sully Shaheed
um I think it would be a great time to bet it just in case. you know
00:17:32
Baker
Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:17:34
Sully Shaheed
The total plummets, and Lamar says, yeah, one more week. ah But yeah, I'm with you, Baker. i do i do like the actual Bears side of this because, again, it's we look at the slate and we always say, who's playing Cincy?
00:17:47
Sully Shaheed
Who's playing in Dallas? Who is playing the Ravens? And, well, Caleb's playing in the Ravens. So I like Caleb.
00:17:53
Chilly
I'm
00:17:53
Sully Shaheed
And, of course, if you can pay up for Lamar, I'm good with that.
00:17:57
Chilly
um'm not going to disregard the Ravens side of things, but their defense is getting a little bit better. and i would just i would just be concerned.
00:18:04
Sully Shaheed
Don't care.
00:18:07
Chilly
My only concern would be they did hold the Rams stuff to a min. I know Puka Nakua got hurt, but that would be my only concern because Caleb Williams is he's a roller coaster.
00:18:21
Chilly
But
00:18:22
Sully Shaheed
a rollercoaster of emotions that I'm willing to ride this week.
00:18:25
Chilly
um
00:18:25
Sully Shaheed
Caleb Williams for the win.
00:18:26
Chilly
i mean, you're not you're not you're not worried about the Roquan Smith revenge game on the Baltimore side?
00:18:27
Sully Shaheed
yeah
00:18:34
Chilly
just
00:18:38
Chilly
You're not worried about the Baltimore defense?
00:18:41
Sully Shaheed
The most random revenge.
00:18:41
Chilly
No.
00:18:44
Baker
Wow. Okay.
00:18:45
Chilly
is
00:18:47
Sully Shaheed
I forgot. I actually forgot to script that because I literally said we're going to make this a segment of revenge and who's got that revenge this week.
00:18:54
Baker
Well,
00:18:55
Sully Shaheed
We we could sprinkle it in, but it should have been a whole segment. And we're going to do that moving
Incorporating 'Revenge' Games
00:19:00
Sully Shaheed
forward. I just got to script it. Baker, what's up?
00:19:02
Baker
if we're going to go that route, then you have to play Joe Flacco and his revenge narrative too. Just going to throw it out there.
00:19:11
Sully Shaheed
Joe Flacco revenged.
00:19:12
Baker
Okay.
00:19:15
Sully Shaheed
He brings up a great point. Brings up a great point. Chili, outside of ah the Joe Flacco revenge game, who are who are you interested in this week?
00:19:26
Chilly
I mean, you probably have to determine which quarterback you're playing in this game, but like, are you playing Bo Nix are you playing Dak?
00:19:36
Sully Shaheed
Bo Nix. um I'm playing Bo Nix. um I'm playing Bo Nix.
00:19:42
Chilly
Okay, because, I mean,
00:19:42
Sully Shaheed
i i would play I would play anyone against the Cowboys defense. Yeah, I get it. Jaden Daniels was a complete bust last week.
00:19:49
Chilly
I'm not even saying, I'm not even Jay Daniels.
00:19:49
Sully Shaheed
But.
00:19:51
Chilly
Like, Jackson Dart did tear up this Denver defense for the most part.
00:19:55
Baker
Thank you.
00:19:58
Chilly
So, it's like, so, again, I think it's a little bit of an interesting take.
00:19:58
Sully Shaheed
did.
00:20:01
Chilly
I think, for me, that one depends on ownership. um Because if you're going to give me a low-owned Dak Prescott, Kind of feel like you may have to take a shot at it.
00:20:13
Sully Shaheed
Well, I'll tell you, Chill, early on a Wednesday, 444.com has one, Joshua Patrick Allen as the highest-owned quarterback, followed by Kendrick Lamar Jackson, and down below him is Jalen Hurts and Bo Nix.
00:20:30
Sully Shaheed
Coming in at a poultry 2% is Dakota Prescott. is dakota is rain dakota prescot
00:20:36
Baker
So you have to bow weave.
00:20:42
Sully Shaheed
All you got to do is believe.
00:20:45
Baker
Bow weave. I love that version of O'Dell.
00:20:47
Chilly
Yeah.
00:20:48
Baker
It's just going throw it out there.
00:20:49
Chilly
Yeah. I mean, and then the other quarterbacks I'd be taking a look at here. um Again, ah quarterbacks from the same game. and ah
00:20:58
Baker
All right.
00:20:58
Chilly
Spencer Rattler at home. Baker Mayfield against the Saints. um That is like, again, that's in the four o'clock window. um We know Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay likes to get in shootouts. And, um...
00:21:13
Chilly
They're going to be throwing a lot. You basically kind of know where Baker's targets are going to be going now with our boy Mike Evans gone. So... oh
00:21:24
Baker
I don't know.
00:21:30
Sully Shaheed
damn it. Why? Take me! Take me and stop it! Why, my God, why? Why did you have bring it up? Why did you have to bring it up?
00:21:45
Chilly
um Yeah, and then again, you know Spencer Rattler, although he didn't have a really good game last week against the Bears, um this Tampa Bay defense, again, is going to give it up through the pass.
00:21:58
Chilly
ah At home, he's played pretty well. um Again here, I think it's just an easier matchup in a probably one of the you know the sneaky shootout game there.
00:22:02
Baker
you
00:22:08
Chilly
um You figure it'll be an uptick in plays. the The Buccaneers... The Buccaneers traditionally do give up one of the league-high fantasy points to quarterbacks you know this year.
00:22:21
Chilly
um you know they're only Truthfully, the only two teams ahead of them are the Cowboys and the Jaguars, who I don't believe are on the slate this week.
00:22:31
Chilly
So, yeah, so again here, taking a look at that.
00:22:31
Sully Shaheed
They are on a bye.
00:22:36
Chilly
um And then I think one quarterback that that everybody's going to just overlook, and we probably shouldn't,
00:22:39
Baker
Bye.
00:22:43
Chilly
um but Michael Penix is at home against the Dolphins, and he's really cheap. Let's not – again, we all know – we'll get to the running back section, and we all know where the chalk's going to be, but the Dolphins are not good.
00:23:03
Sully Shaheed
My only problem with Michael Penix Jr. is I don't see the upside. I don't see 303 coming out of Michael Penix. I just don't.
00:23:09
Chilly
don't think you'll need 303.
00:23:12
Sully Shaheed
I would like the quarterback I play.
00:23:13
Chilly
because Because it's the – because –
00:23:15
Sully Shaheed
know I can get 303 from Dakota Rain Prescott. I know I can get that.
00:23:20
Chilly
but he's also Yeah, but he's 4,900, and then if that allows you to unlock something else in your lineup, I think you'll take it
00:23:20
Sully Shaheed
I know that so Patrick Allen is is capable of four total touchdowns. I know Lamar Jackson is capable of four total touchdowns. I don't see that in Michael Penix's range of outcomes.
00:23:43
Sully Shaheed
Go on, Baker.
00:23:45
Baker
So what does Michael Penix have to get you to let so to allow whatever else you put in your lineup construction-wise?
00:23:56
Chilly
what i mean What do you think? What, 20 points? If that?
00:24:05
Sully Shaheed
I think we have so many cheap wide receivers this week that I don't think the value necessarily needs to come from quarterback.
00:24:06
Chilly
It's not. there
00:24:12
Sully Shaheed
I think it's a good route to go if you're starved for value, but I think the value is going to open up with the wide receiver position.
00:24:19
Chilly
But again here, it's you're getting your you're playing a quarterback.
Value Quarterbacks Analysis
00:24:24
Chilly
who's at home, okay, because it's not in Miami, it is at home against the Dolphins.
00:24:30
Chilly
Let's not overthink this. All right? let's like Let's literally not overthink it. Michael Penix also plays really good at home. We've seen him damn near break the slate against the Commanders a couple weeks ago.
00:24:48
Chilly
So let's not.
00:24:49
Sully Shaheed
Commanders, the commanders suck. I think they just suck.
00:24:52
Chilly
They're better in do it
00:24:53
Sully Shaheed
think they suck. No, I'm just saying, I'm not saying they're on the same tier as, you know, the dolphins. No one is there. They stink too.
00:25:01
Sully Shaheed
But, uh, yeah. Um, Baker,
00:25:01
Chilly
than his offense.
00:25:05
Chilly
Yeah, they're the the falcons The Falcons do a good job of beating up on the tomato cans.
00:25:13
Sully Shaheed
It's true. Baker, how do you feel about getting spicy? How do you think, how do you feel about another man that checks the, are you playing this team box? If we get Tyrod Taylor this week, any interest?
00:25:28
Baker
I think it just depends on do we get Garrett Wilson back. ah The Jets offense last week looked so bad without Garrett.
00:25:35
Sully Shaheed
Pathetic.
00:25:36
Baker
um
00:25:37
Sully Shaheed
Pathetic.
00:25:39
Baker
Yeah, the the Mason Taylor you know steam that was generated that I fell for.
00:25:45
Sully Shaheed
Got him.
00:25:47
Baker
You know, it it was not there.
00:25:49
Sully Shaheed
ah Got him.
00:25:50
Baker
And I don't see this Jets offense being able to just move the ball, even against the freaking Bengals without Garrett Wilson in the game. So Garrett Wilson is going to be the disent determining factor of whether or not I played Jets overall.
00:26:04
Sully Shaheed
That's fair.
00:26:04
Chilly
i would rather I would rather just play the pieces from the Jets rather than the quarterback.
00:26:05
Sully Shaheed
ah Do we miss? Go ahead.
00:26:14
Sully Shaheed
Again, we're talking about salary savers. So, I mean, that's one of them. If you don't want to go all the way up to the Joshua Patrick Allens and Lamar Jackson's of the world, you can go you can go dumpster diving.
00:26:27
Sully Shaheed
And you can do worse than Michael Penix and Tyra Taylor. I'm just saying. I'm just putting it out there. We ready to move on to the running back position where we can talk about the chalk.
00:26:39
Baker
I mean, talk about every week, bro.
Running Back Strategies for Week Eight
00:26:41
Baker
At running back, every week, bro.
00:26:43
Chilly
I mean, hold on, hold on. Are we just going to bypass Daniel Jones against the Titans?
00:26:49
Baker
I mean, he's leverage he's leveraged off the chalk.
00:26:50
Sully Shaheed
I don't want... He's leveraged off JT, yeah, but I mean, like, the Titans suck. Like, there's no... They suck. There's just no reason.
00:27:00
Chilly
I mean, Sully, you did mention in the text thread, like, well we should just be playing Colts every week.
00:27:08
Sully Shaheed
I know, know...
00:27:08
Chilly
like i Like, I know, because here's the thing. If for whatever reason Daniel Jones does, and again, he hasn't been, but if he gets a couple of these rushing touchdowns from a couple yards out, JT essentially gets ripped apart there, and then Daniel Jones breaks the slate. Like,
00:27:31
Chilly
he he had a really good game against them, what, a couple weeks ago, I think they played, didn't they?
00:27:36
Baker
Yeah, JT had three touchdowns.
00:27:39
Chilly
Yeah, and Daniel Jones still had a great game.
00:27:42
Baker
Yeah, you could have played them both
00:27:44
Chilly
That's what i'm saying. You probably just play the Colts.
00:27:47
Sully Shaheed
So just play on both.
00:27:48
Chilly
You know, like the Colts offense, you know where the ball is going.
00:27:50
Baker
them both.
00:27:51
Chilly
It's going to JT Pittman Warren.
00:27:57
Sully Shaheed
With some deep shots now to Alec Pierce.
00:28:00
Chilly
Well, josh down Josh Downs will be back too, but I'm not worried about it.
00:28:00
Sully Shaheed
He was taking some deep shots.
00:28:06
Baker
I don't think Josh Downs makes a big enough difference to the point where he's playable, though.
00:28:10
Sully Shaheed
No, correct.
00:28:11
Chilly
The Titans are bad, so he's a factor.
