Introduction and Podcast Overview

rogeremeka
Welcome to the Bush League Huddle fantasy football podcast.
Week 1 Recap Highlights
00:00:13
rogeremeka
I'm your host, Raj. I'm joined by my fantastic co-hosts, Fab and Nack.
00:00:17
Fabio
Yeah.
00:00:18
rogeremeka
Week one is officially in the books as the San Francisco 49ers took down the New York Jets 32-19. Aaron Rodgers highly anticipated return from his Achilles injury and the 49ers were powered by an amazing performance by Jordan Mason in place of Christian McCaffrey.
00:00:35
rogeremeka
We'll dive into that game breakdown shortly. We're going to touch on some quick injury news and notes, and then we'll jump into our matchups we love and hate for week 2 in our third segment. Before we get started, as always guys, please like and subscribe on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts so you don't miss a thing. We had our winners and losers for week 1 and fab strategy in our previous episode, which we'll be doing weekly.
McCaffrey and Mason: Predictions and Debates
00:00:58
rogeremeka
All right, guys, before we kick off ah what what our thoughts were on the Monday Nighter, I just want to reiterate again, us three, we called it. We called it Breece Hall number one running back.
00:01:10
Fabio
Yep. Yep.
00:01:10
rogeremeka
We told you guys do not take Christian McCaffrey number one.
00:01:14
rogeremeka
I want to keep reiterating. I want to shout out to my buddy Nick from Partial Breakaway messaging us. He said, thank God I listened to your pod because he skipped on Christian McCaffrey.
00:01:24
rogeremeka
So Just want to say it. That's the type of insight, that's the type of takes you're going to get from us.
00:01:29
Nacc
Yeah, look man, we, we saw it coming and you, you hear injury and you get scared, right? And this, but the people who didn't draft Mason now are forced to spend maybe 50% of their budget on Mason in order to get them on the roster.
00:01:44
Nacc
Or if someone else drafted him, pay a premium, you're obviously going to pay a premium to to try to trade them back to your team. So it's.
00:01:51
rogeremeka
Dude, man.
00:01:51
Fabio
Yeah.
00:01:52
rogeremeka
You might have to pay, you might have to put 80%. Like if you drafted McCaffrey, just just to sleep well at night, you might not have a choice.
00:01:58
Fabio
We, we spoke about this yesterday on the pod, there's an argument to put 80% of your fab on on Jordan Mason and like and and if if
00:01:59
rogeremeka
You might have to put 80%.
00:02:00
Nacc
Yeah, it's crazy.
00:02:05
Nacc
It's wild, man.
00:02:10
Fabio
If you, if I'm in a league and I see someone put 80% of the five on Jordan Mason, I'll be like, wow, that guy has balls. And, but you at the same time or girl, cause now we, you know, everyone's involved in fans football, but at the same time, it's like it, it you have no choice.
00:02:20
Nacc
and
00:02:22
Fabio
And even if I don't have CMC. I can still put 50% or 60% on Jordan Mason, because you know what? He's already expected not to play in week two. like It's not confirmed yet, but that's pretty much where it's going. You don't know if this thing is going to linger. You don't know how long it's going to be. The injury, and him not playing Monday night was a shock to everybody, even though apparently San Francisco knew since Friday.
00:02:48
Fabio
Right. Like Jordan Mesa had some conversation. Apparently he was goingnna he knew ever since Friday that he wasn't going to play. They kept it very hush hush like they're supposed to. So you don't know how serious this is.
00:02:58
Fabio
And they want CMC fresh for the time that it counts.
00:03:01
Fabio
Right. Like for real football, they don't care about week one, week two, week four, five, whatever.
00:03:02
rogeremeka
Exactly.
00:03:03
rogeremeka
exactly
00:03:07
Fabio
They want them fresh for when it counts. Cause they want to, they know that they're going to have to pay Brock pretty next year. There's going to be a lot of cap casualties that are going to be gone next year that are on the roster right now.
00:03:17
Fabio
So I think for them, they're probably going to play the long game. And listen Jordan Mason is a stud, like 28 carries, 147 yards, one touchdown.
00:03:23
rogeremeka
yeah
00:03:25
Fabio
He had yet another touchdown that was called back that ended up being vultured by Deebo. But like he he looks like he can definitely fill in for CMC without any issues.
00:03:36
Fabio
So I don't see them forcing him to come back anytime soon. Not anytime soon, but I'll see them pushing him to come back sooner than later.
00:03:45
rogeremeka
That's a great segue before we get into the Monday Night Football recap, great segue into something I saw on Twitter today. George Kittle, he was quoted, I think it was after the game I made today in the locker room, he was saying the only quote unquote good thing about CMC not playing He was saying how the playbook shrinks a little bit. He's always a fan of shrinking the playbook now. We really just ran the most simple outside zone all day. And the most the most noteworthy thing he said, a very good substitute for Christian so we don't have to play Christian for 100 snaps a game.
00:04:18
Nacc
Yeah, like.
00:04:18
rogeremeka
Like, that's what we've been saying.
00:04:18
Fabio
Yep.
00:04:20
rogeremeka
That's what we've been saying. They used him way too much last year. And we said it again, if they're going to use him that much like like they did last year, he's going to get injured because he had soft tissue injuries at the end of the the season last year.
00:04:32
Nacc
Let me let me ask you guys, do you have any leagues where he went undrafted?
00:04:38
rogeremeka
Mason, I think our...
00:04:39
Nacc
Mason.
00:04:40
Fabio
Maybe he want to draft it, but now he's rostered. He was rostered before kickoff last night.
00:04:44
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:04:45
Nacc
Okay. So roster, do you have no leagues right now where he's on waivers?
00:04:47
Fabio
No, no.
00:04:49
Nacc
Yeah. Cause I was like, um I was, I was upset to see that, that I'm in three leagues and I don't, he's not available in any of them. I really wanted to see how much he was going to go for if, uh, if he was available.
00:04:58
rogeremeka
but That's the move. i when i when i When I drafted CMC last year in the Bush League, I picked up eli Elijah Mitchell and I rostered Mitchell the entire year.
00:05:00
Fabio
yeah
00:05:09
Nacc
Yeah.
00:05:10
rogeremeka
It sucked, but you don't have a choice because even at that point, you still were like, CMC is still kind of that injury prone back. Obviously, it was very beneficial, but you got to have him.
00:05:21
Fabio
Yeah, I'm very happy that when we drafted in our league, I wasn't faced with the problem of potentially having to choose between Breece Hall and CMC. And CMC was taken right before me. And I was like, yeah, Breece Hall, no brainer done.
00:05:22
rogeremeka
so
00:05:33
Fabio
That's it. You know?
Game Analysis: 49ers vs Jets
00:05:35
rogeremeka
Knowing you would have taken CMC because you zi you zag on all of your takes.
00:05:38
Fabio
Yep. I would have taken CMC because I would have probably regretted my life.
00:05:40
rogeremeka
um
00:05:43
Fabio
I was like, ah, you got, it's like, he's there.
00:05:44
Nacc
would have changed his rankings. No, no, no, I really had CMC at one.
00:05:46
Fabio
He's there.
00:05:46
rogeremeka
exactly Yeah, exactly.
00:05:48
rogeremeka
yeah exactly um Guys, I just want to get your overall thoughts. Let's start with UNAC on the Monday Nighter.
00:05:56
Nacc
Oh, honestly, I was one of the people who thought that San Fran was going to have some hiccups, start slow, especially with all the noise and in training camp.
00:06:02
Fabio
Yep.
00:06:05
Nacc
Trent Williams didn't have camp, Ayuk didn't have camp.
00:06:05
Fabio
Yep.
00:06:07
Nacc
Well, I mean, you saw Ayuk have a little bit of rust. He dropped that ball. ah wasn't the IUQ we've we've known two to known to see on the football field. that that's That's going to come. It's just it's all about reps, right? But the thing that really shocked me is eight straight scoring drives that San Francisco had. I think that was a record eight straight scoring drives against a New York Jets defense that was top three, if not the best in the league or or supposed to be this year. I think um
00:06:40
Nacc
They missed their buddy yeah Hassan Redick who didn't play in that game and continues to hold out.
00:06:42
Fabio
Yeah.
00:06:42
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:06:46
Nacc
I found out how much money he's holding out for.
00:06:47
rogeremeka
It's ridiculous.
00:06:48
Nacc
And it's quite, it's it's ah like he's already $5 million into fines and his game checks are about 800K. So ah he's losing money every week.
00:06:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:06:54
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:06:56
Nacc
But no, honestly, um hats off to the 49ers. They channeled all the noise. They took care of business and they looked really, really, really good. And I think. We've mentioned it more than once, but this is Super Bowl or bust a year for San Fran.
00:07:12
rogeremeka
Fab, any thoughts on how i Aaron Rodgers looked, or even both QBs, Rodgers and Pretty?
00:07:15
Fabio
Well, you saw that there were some hiccups, you saw that there was some Russ, but at the same time, kind of happy that he threw for a very nice touchdown on that free play.
00:07:24
rogeremeka
Oh, beautiful.
00:07:24
Fabio
He was picking his guys pretty well.
00:07:25
Nacc
He can still sling, man.
00:07:26
Fabio
there' yeah yeah he He still needs to work out, I think, a little bit of some Some timing issues with Garrett Wilson. With Garrett Wilson having 11 targets last night, makes you very happy if you're a Garrett Wilson owner. He's going to be targeted early and often from Aaron Rodgers. I think it's only going to get much better from here on out. It was probably the hardest scenario for Aaron Rodgers coming back from like over a year off and going up against San Francisco defense. And he got hit, and he fell, and he got sacked, and all that stuff, and he came back. So I think that's all very promising.
00:07:26
rogeremeka
It's beautiful, man.
00:08:01
Fabio
I think if you have him as your QB2 for the rest of the season, I think you're pretty happy with that because he'll be able to give you up some weekly QB1 numbers. Obviously, the last night wasn't the case.
00:08:11
Fabio
But no, it's definitely promising. And you saw the way he also played. You saw Bruce Hall, super involved within within the offense.
00:08:18
Fabio
ah Him to six targets, five receptions, 39 yards. um Yeah, it's ah it despite the loss, like I think there's a lot of positivity that you can take back from um the Jets offense as a whole.
00:08:19
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:08:31
rogeremeka
Yeah, I thought Rodgers looked pretty pretty sharp. Again, you have a free play, some of the passes to to Lazard, his his old reliable, of course. The line played really well too, which is very promising.
00:08:41
Nacc
Yeah.
00:08:43
rogeremeka
you we We were talking about that last week as you know maybe you want to fade Aaron Rodgers, that the line played pretty well against ah a dominant front, a dominant defense on that front.
00:08:54
rogeremeka
And like I looked at the numbers, like what really killed the Jets at the time of possession.
00:08:59
Nacc
Oh yeah.
00:09:01
rogeremeka
The Niners had 70 plays for 38 minutes.
00:09:02
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:04
rogeremeka
The Jets only 49 plays for 21 minutes. So that that that Niners run game is so nice to watch.
00:09:07
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:11
Nacc
Yeah, they just they just gashed it.
00:09:11
rogeremeka
like the way they The way they pull the guards, the way they do their counters, it's it's a thing of beauty.
00:09:13
Nacc
I just gashed them completely.
00:09:18
rogeremeka
um So I thought it was a complete game. I thought Purdy didn't look amazing. And thist and you know we're all Purdy fans. I thought he missed a few. I thought he misfired a little bit. He didn't look super sharp.
00:09:28
rogeremeka
um
00:09:29
Nacc
I'm going to truck that up.
00:09:29
rogeremeka
but again
00:09:30
Nacc
I'm going to truck that up to fourth preseason game like we mentioned yesterday.
00:09:35
rogeremeka
Yeah, he actually did play in the preseason.
00:09:36
Nacc
Right?
00:09:36
rogeremeka
he He did play a half in the preseason, but I i think to your point, it's it's it's there's gonna be rust for everyone, right?
00:09:39
Nacc
Yeah, that just.
00:09:41
Fabio
Mm hmm.
00:09:42
rogeremeka
um
00:09:42
Nacc
Look, they put up 32 points and we're saying Perdy didn't play well. I think they're going to be fine.
00:09:46
rogeremeka
Yeah, no, no, no, 100%.
00:09:47
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:48
rogeremeka
100%. And then lastly, Jake Moody, absolute weapon, six for six. Kicker is just an absolutely amazing, amazing first week.
00:09:57
Nacc
Yeah, insane. Just for you, Raj.
00:10:00
Fabio
They heard you, man. They heard you. And you got to put some respect on their names, because they've heard you.
00:10:00
rogeremeka
Just for me, well,
00:10:06
rogeremeka
Yeah, absolutely. I put some respect. I put so much respect on their names that all the fat pickups that I'm making, it's all kickers that I'm dropping. Guys, five leagues. It's going to be rough, but I'm dropping a kicker every single week. It's my strategy. I'm sticking to it.
00:10:22
Fabio
Did you have, did you have any one of those kickers that like put up more than 20 points?
00:10:22
rogeremeka
ah lastly
00:10:27
rogeremeka
Uh, I had McLaughlin in one had Dicker had, uh, Hopkins. And then after that, there was one link. I didn't have to pick up a kicker because I, uh, I dominated. So yeah. Um, last thing Trent Williams.
00:10:43
rogeremeka
absolute dog, didn't miss a beat.
00:10:43
Fabio
Yeah.
00:10:45
rogeremeka
just I the game and re-looked at reook at the highlights. It was absolutely amazing. um So I'll put <unk>ll put a book end on a really fun week one. Again, a lot of rust, but not time to overreact yet.
00:10:59
rogeremeka
As we see, it's looking more and more like that fourth preson preseason game is becoming week one of the NFL season. We're going to move on to injury updates and news and notes. No shocker. Well, you know what? Somewhat of a shocker, ah Justin Fields to start week two. Maybe it's a shocker because Wilson is still injured or maybe it's because yeah I thought, I personally thought Fields played really well. Again, Nack, we talked about this one on the previous show. I think you're happy about it. I think most Yinzers are happy about it. Any other thoughts on Fields starting?
00:11:32
Nacc
No, I don't, I don't think, uh, and I, I think Tom and handled the question well too. Like he did say that, that Wilson is injured. Uh, and obviously the first question out of the reporter's mouth is who starts when Russ is, is healthy.
00:11:44
Nacc
So he kind of brushed that aside and, you know, we'll, we'll cross that bridge when we get there type deal. Now I feel.
00:11:50
rogeremeka
when you brush When you brush, it means you're not starting. like it's like When you brush, it means he's not starting.
00:11:54
Nacc
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And personally, I still think Russ is the starter when healthy. Now that being said, if he comes in week two and and dominates again, he's going to have a tough question on his hands. And then there's also that, that little tidbit in the trade, right? It was a six round pick, but if fields plays 50% of the snaps, it becomes a fourth round pick. So I'm sure that's in the back of their, their minds too, in the sense of,
00:12:22
Nacc
you know, we'll have to give up a fourth rounder instead of a sixth. But again, if he, I think Rex Ryan had a, he was on the show today and he'd mentioned the same thing.
00:12:32
Nacc
If Fields ends up being good, you've got a superstar for a fourth round pick, right?
00:12:37
Fabio
Yeah.
00:12:38
Nacc
And it becomes like the, what what a trade they made in sense. Like I still don't see it as a superstar.
00:12:44
rogeremeka
gonna be a
00:12:44
Nacc
Like I've got, I've got to see some, some some more games, but look like to your point, it it was promising the first game.
00:12:45
rogeremeka
nland
00:12:50
Nacc
We'll see how, we'll see how it goes.
00:12:51
rogeremeka
I think Fab will let you go, but I think, I feel like his career arc is like a Tyra Taylor at this point, which which is perfectly fine, right? Like he has a very solid career.
00:12:59
Fabio
For Justin Fields.
00:13:01
Fabio
Yeah.
00:13:01
rogeremeka
Yeah, I think so.
00:13:02
Fabio
I mean, I think the fourth round pick is inconsequential. If they're winning, they're winning. You know, like, I think that's going to be where they're going to stay.
00:13:02
rogeremeka
Yeah, I think that's a good song.
00:13:07
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:13:09
Fabio
Honestly, I'm, I'm starting to think more and more that Russell Wilson
Injury Updates and Player Status
00:13:15
Fabio
is not as injured, maybe. And he's just like, and maybe they just want Justin Fields to start. Maybe they didn't like what they saw at camp.
00:13:21
Fabio
Like, and this is just completely hearsay. I'm starting to ask myself, like, is, is, is Russell Wilson done?
00:13:24
Nacc
Yeah, no, I don't like i can't that. I can't believe.
00:13:27
Fabio
Like, is he officially done now? Like. being paid 50 million dollars by another team to play for somebody else like like like
00:13:31
Nacc
Oh, if he doesn't get on the field, he's not playing ever again, that's for sure.
00:13:36
rogeremeka
i'm I'm just laughing because I don't know how we didn't mention it.
00:13:40
Fabio
somebody else is paying so much money for him to play against themselves like yeah and he had the black guy he was dressed but he's a third QB like he's not expected to play whatsoever and he's all like ready to go it's like it's
00:13:41
rogeremeka
There was all the meme of there was all the memes of him with with his equipment on, with his eye black on, and he wasn't even supposed to play. like
00:13:51
Nacc
Oh, because he was the, um, he was the third, uh, the emergency.
00:13:51
rogeremeka
this guy
00:13:55
Nacc
be Yeah, but you're, you have to, you have to dress, but yeah, he's, yeah, you have, you have to dress.
00:13:58
Fabio
go
00:14:00
rogeremeka
Oh, you have to just, okay. So he wasn't, warm he wasn't warming up with the cameras, just looking at him and like clapping and like, Oh
00:14:04
Nacc
Oh, that, that is cause everyone has the story fields, the Russ fields, Russ all the time.
00:14:10
rogeremeka
man. Um, Miami dolphins backfield, the Von H in each hand non participant at practice on Monday. Uh, what did he have guys?
00:14:21
rogeremeka
Uh, I forgot. Sorry.
00:14:22
Nacc
Neither today, for that matter.
00:14:22
rogeremeka
I forgot.
00:14:23
Fabio
Yep.
00:14:25
Nacc
He didn't participate today.
00:14:25
rogeremeka
Yes. Today. Cause today cause today is Tuesday.
00:14:26
Fabio
And these are this is very noteworthy, right? Because they're playing on Thursday.
00:14:26
Nacc
Today's Tuesday.
00:14:30
Nacc
Yep.
00:14:30
rogeremeka
They are. And most are chest injury. He didn't practice either. So that that is exactly very noteworthy because we have a game in in a few days. Jeff Wilson Jr. looked like he was the better inside runner. And as we mentioned, Jalen Wright was he was inactive in the first game.
00:14:50
rogeremeka
ah Lamar Jackson got a rest day. Apparently it's because he was battered and bruised from the Chiefs game. He took a lot of hits. He ran a lot of off-schedule runs. um So, I mean, obviously I think nothing to worry about there.
00:15:04
rogeremeka
Probably just a Veterans Day on week one, which is not the best sign, but he got it.
00:15:08
Nacc
I was gonna say already with the, we're still gonna start talking NBA now with their the rest days.
00:15:10
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:15:18
rogeremeka
Um, speaking of rest and relaxation, uh, and all that stuff, I'm usually not good with the segways.
00:15:21
Fabio
Oh man.
00:15:23
Nacc
Wow, what a segue.
00:15:23
Fabio
Wow. What a Stegway. Roger for the win over here.
00:15:28
Nacc
That was bang on.
00:15:28
rogeremeka
usually Usually Fab is usually fab's really good with the segues.
00:15:29
Nacc
that was You nailed it. You nailed it.
00:15:31
Fabio
My goodness.
00:15:33
rogeremeka
Deshaun Watson, there was more news. Apparently he's getting sued. There's an allegation stemming from an incident that happened in 2020. We will spare you the details.
00:15:43
rogeremeka
You all have Google. But there's there's some conspiracies that maybe the Browns leaked this. I wouldn't be surprised, but when it when it rains, it pours for this guy.
00:15:54
rogeremeka
I think his his father died a few days ago. One of his best friends, who he considered his brother, died a few few days ago. Obviously, the horrible, horrible performance and in week one. So really when it rains, it pours, man.
00:16:07
rogeremeka
This guy is in a tough situation.
00:16:07
Nacc
Yeah, constant black cloud now running around him.
00:16:09
Fabio
Yeah.
00:16:11
Fabio
And imagine they're probably so like they're looking at Baker Mayfield playing in Tampa Bay right now and they're like he could have been playing like that for us like he's.
00:16:11
rogeremeka
Yeah. as
00:16:17
rogeremeka
Totally. Yeah. Well, the Panthers are probably doing the same thing as well.
00:16:24
Fabio
That's true. That's very true.
00:16:24
Nacc
Oh, yeah.
00:16:26
rogeremeka
um So that's it for the injury ah updates and news and notes.
Love/Hate Segment for Week 2
00:16:31
rogeremeka
Feel free to obviously look at our Instagram and social media pages. We're always going to update any any fantasy analysis on injury updates. So please stay tuned into our social media pages. Now we're going to move on to our love hate segment. So um Fabio, who in terms of from a matchup perspective, do you love this week in week two?
00:16:55
Fabio
I got to show a little bit of love to my boy, wide receiver, Malik neighbors. He's probably the only rookie, maybe apart from Brian Thomas Jr.
00:17:02
Nacc
Shocking.
00:17:03
Fabio
that actually like played. Expectedly well, because we know that Mike Marvin Harrison Jr. Put a bit of a dud and I remember doing say also didn't have that great of a game, but neighbors is going up against Washington this week.
00:17:13
Fabio
While the giants going up against Washington this week, they gave up 56 fantasy points to Tampa Bay wide receivers last week. Washington corners graded pretty badly on coverage as well, despite the horrible box score that neighbors had. Well, despite the horrible box score that the Giants had against Minnesota, neighbors had a decent showing in his first game, five receptions, 56 yards on seven targets. I think they're going to try and get him involved a little bit sooner this time around. And I think they're going to have a bit of a bounce back week from last week. He's in a plus matchup. I think he'll be able to dog those
00:17:47
Fabio
Washington quarterbacks. And listen, assuming the quarterback play holds up to a degree, I think he'll be able to put up a pretty decent showing against Washington. It's definitely a plus matchup for me.
00:17:57
Nacc
Or do you have them stack like is it?
00:17:58
rogeremeka
Yeah, you know you have to start him.
00:18:00
Nacc
Like WR three sitting flex play?
00:18:03
Fabio
Oh, he's Yeah, he's a high end WR2.
00:18:06
Nacc
Two.
00:18:07
Fabio
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:08
Nacc
High end WR two.
00:18:09
Fabio
Yeah, he's a must start. He's a must start.
00:18:10
rogeremeka
He's a guy you have to start.
00:18:12
Nacc
Start but as as your second wide receiver Okay So he's up 20 like he has a top 20 play this week then neighbors Yeah, but I'm just saying still top top 20 numbers for neighbors did Did you guys watch Daniel Jones play last week or was it just me?
00:18:12
rogeremeka
like That's a good point.
00:18:14
Fabio
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And my next guy too is in this new spot.
00:18:19
rogeremeka
i mean
00:18:21
Fabio
Yeah. He's a top 20 play this week.
00:18:22
rogeremeka
That's a good point because a lot of, a lot of other, um, leagues only start to two wide receivers, but considering what.
00:18:29
Fabio
Listen.
00:18:33
Fabio
Oops.
00:18:37
Fabio
Did you watch neighbors play last week?
00:18:39
rogeremeka
I gouge my eyes, man.
00:18:40
Fabio
Like he played well. He played well. He has a very good matchup and you would think that they would be able to bounce back.
00:18:44
Nacc
Yeah, 6 for 50 or something that he has. 6 for 56.
00:18:47
Fabio
yeah yeah Five for 56.
00:18:47
rogeremeka
Six for 66 five for five for 66.
00:18:49
Nacc
5 for 66. Yeah, it was like like decent.
00:18:50
Fabio
Five for 56.
00:18:54
rogeremeka
the The Washington, Washington got like, they got, they got absolutely dashed last week.
00:18:54
Nacc
no touch Yeah, for sure.
00:18:55
Fabio
They got gashed. They got gashed like at every level.
00:18:58
Nacc
For sure. But it was obviously Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield played out of his mind.
00:19:03
Fabio
yeah Baker Mayfield is really good. But for Baker Mayfield to throw for 300 yards and four touchdowns. Like, let's just be honest now, it's also a product of a defense he's playing against that doesn't really exist.
00:19:15
Fabio
And I think that's going to be the expectation too.
00:19:15
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:19:17
Fabio
Like, and I like Baker, Baker played really well and I like him a lot, but also Washington is just not a very good football team when it comes to the defensive coverage.
00:19:17
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:19:18
rogeremeka
I think there's.
00:19:24
Fabio
And the line, the line for the Giants held up fairly well.
00:19:25
rogeremeka
Yeah, I think the hype is still.
00:19:27
Nacc
Yeah it's also a division game though I feel like that you get a little bit more I feel like you get a little bit more you know you play you play them a little bit stronger or tougher should I say but man top 20 play I'm struggling with that one.
00:19:35
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:19:42
rogeremeka
Fab, who's your second match up that you love this week?
00:19:43
Nacc
um
00:19:45
Fabio
ah Chris Godwin, so Chris Godwin throughout that they've been saying throughout camp and everything like that He's gonna be playing much more in the slot go back to sort of his roots Because I think last year he had a bit of a down year and he was playing a lot more on the outside He played much more in the slot uh last week against Washington and you saw it come out he put up a great game he had eight for eight with like uh 85 yards and a touchdown um so versus Detroit this week we sort of saw what slot receivers do versus Detroit I mean I know he's not a no Cooper cup but I think it's still a very plus matchup for him uh he also had a 28 target share he was PFF's highest rated Y receiver last week
00:20:25
Fabio
So Chris Galvin is definitely on the resurgence, I like him a lot. um And so I think he might have refound himself again.
00:20:33
Fabio
And so he he looks really good.
00:20:34
rogeremeka
He looks fast.
00:20:34
rogeremeka
He looks way faster than he is a few years after that injury.
00:20:36
Fabio
Yeah, he looks really, really good. And he's also like another wide receiver too for me this week. i he I'm expecting another nice game from him as well. He's definitely a plus play for me too.
00:20:48
rogeremeka
I drafted him begrudgingly in, um, in, uh, in a league and it was, it's one of those like, Oh, you got, I don't have a choice.
00:20:51
Fabio
So did I.
00:20:55
Fabio
um'm I'm starting him this week. i I put him in my flex last week. It was between him and Aaron Jones. And I saw Aaron Jones at a great game. i'm like Like when I'm like, okay, I hope I didn't make a mistake over here.
00:20:56
rogeremeka
And yeah, so am I.
00:21:08
Fabio
And Chris Godwin went off and he outscored Aaron Jones.
00:21:10
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:21:11
Fabio
And I was like, you know what? And then I was looking at the game more and I was looking at how he was playing on the routes and all that stuff. I'm like, he looked good. And he, he's, he's, uh, he's going to be the guy in the slot.
00:21:21
Fabio
And I think it's me perfect for him, especially from a PPR standpoint. Yeah. His money.
00:21:27
rogeremeka
Yeah, we're gonna start seeing the impact of them drafting Jalen McMillan for sure.
00:21:31
Fabio
Yeah.
00:21:32
rogeremeka
Nack, moving on to you, which match-up, which player match-up do you love for week two?
00:21:38
Nacc
One of the guys I love for week two is Jerome Ford. So running back for the Browns Jaguars gave up six post points ah last week to running backs. They played the, the dolphins. ah Ford was also one of seven running backs last week that had ah played 75% of their, their team snaps. So he is in fact, one of the ah bell cows in in the league. ah Brown's are also looking to bounce back after they were embarrassed at home.
00:22:09
Nacc
against Dallas so I think this is a get right game um I would start forward with with confidence definitely definitely as a an RB2 with RB1 upside get 18 points last week so and that was in a ah nasty loss so
00:22:25
rogeremeka
Yep.
00:22:28
rogeremeka
Yeah, no, no complaints there. I think, uh, I think you might see the the dolphins start feeling the impact of losing Christian Wilkins up the middle.
00:22:35
Fabio
Yeah.
00:22:36
rogeremeka
So, um, who's your second matchup that you love this week?
00:22:41
Nacc
Yeah, so another guy who who actually this guy had a not so great start. I think he had 11 points in in fantasy last year's last week, excuse me. So for a QB, that's that's quite low. But I'm going with Justin Herbert versus the Panthers. and It's a dumpster fire in in in Carolina.
00:22:59
Nacc
ah The Panthers made their car look like like John Elway on on Sunday. Honestly, it was it was crazy. They gave up the six most points for um QBs last week. So I know the Chargers are a run first team, but if there's ah if there's a game where Herbert goes off and and breaks that 20 to 25-point threshold, it's definitely this week against the Panthers.
00:23:24
rogeremeka
Nack, is there one of the wide receivers that you like the most in that matchup? Because J.C. Horn, Joe joel Horn's son, cornerback with the Panthers was roasted a few times. morning is it more Is it more the speedster in Palmer or Quinton Johnson or maybe the underneath guy in McConkie?
00:23:43
Nacc
I think McConkey has a really good game. I think he's going to have a really good PPR game too. I think he sees a lot of, um, a lot of catches, but, um, definitely Palmer. I feel is good for a couple of long ones, a long shots too, because obviously watching that tape, they're definitely going to want to exploit that as well. So that's where, you know, Herbert might have one of those long 60 yard, you know, touchdown passes to help his boost those numbers up.
00:24:08
rogeremeka
if you can start everyone on the chargers
00:24:10
Fabio
this is Yeah.
00:24:10
Nacc
Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:24:12
Nacc
For sure. That offense is, I mean, I think we're going to say it that it's going to be a a recurring, a recurring segment here of going against the Panthers and and loving the ah teams that go against them.
00:24:24
Nacc
But like I said, Herbert, I wasn't high on him this year just because of the running and and and and the Harbaugh effect. But again, when you have a game like this, starting with confidence, you should get that 20, 20 plus points this week.
00:24:39
rogeremeka
Yeah, that's a great segue for for my matchup that I love, JK Dobbins. We talked about him a lot in the previous show, but against the Panthers, Saints ran 37 times for 180 yards last week.
00:24:50
rogeremeka
And obviously we know how much Jim Harbaugh loves running the ball. um So I'm i'm ready to to put him in a lot of starting lineups this week.
00:25:00
Nacc
He's your league winner.
00:25:01
rogeremeka
League winner, as I said, league, league winner. Absolutely. Um, so I mean, this is an easy one. I don't see how you don't start. Correct me if I'm wrong, guys. I don't see how you don't start him unless you have amazing options instead.
00:25:13
rogeremeka
I don't say you don't start him in this matchup.
00:25:14
Fabio
Yeah.
00:25:15
Nacc
Are you starting him?
00:25:16
rogeremeka
Yeah. I'm starting him flex.
00:25:17
Fabio
Starting when you're in your running backs, part of your flex.
00:25:24
Nacc
If you have the if you if you if you.
00:25:25
rogeremeka
Am I actually, am I, I have a pretty good, let me see.
00:25:29
Nacc
Here we goes.
00:25:31
rogeremeka
I'm sorry James. So that's the thing James Cook's playing on Thursday. It's it's so hard not to start guys on Thursday It makes the game more fun and I gotta start John Jacobs I gotta start jumping this is in bush league, of course
00:25:38
Nacc
Yeah, because it makes the game more fun, right?
00:25:45
Fabio
It's the only thing that matters.
00:25:47
rogeremeka
So the thing is I didn't, I, I owned them, you know, smart enough to draft him at my last spot instead of drafting some lowly kicker. So I don't, I don't feel compelled to have to start him this week. Um, so we'll see like, uh, but J James cook might be another good, good matchup.
00:26:03
rogeremeka
But alas, JK Dobbins against the Panthers, that's an easy one. Maybe a ah more underrated one, Colby Parkinson, tight end versus the Cardinals. If you need a tight end streamer with Jake Ferguson and David Njoku out, Parkinson had forty catches excuse me four catches for 47 yards on five targets.
00:26:25
rogeremeka
He actually led all tight ends this week in Raut's run with 42, and he played 87% of the snaps.
00:26:33
Nacc
Yeah.
00:26:33
rogeremeka
With Puka Nakua out, it could be an interesting play.
00:26:33
Fabio
yeah
00:26:36
rogeremeka
Again, if you're missing a tight end with some of the the tight end injuries that are happening.
00:26:40
Nacc
You.
00:26:41
rogeremeka
And he could he could be had. I mean, by the time you guys listened to this, the fab portion would have been done. But, you know, this is a guy you could have for free, basically, like $1 or $2.
00:26:49
Nacc
But I have I have an enjoyable injury in in my 12 man league, and I definitely put in, I think I put in a couple of bucks for him to for prefer replacement.
00:26:57
Fabio
Yep. Yeah, it's a recall up.
00:26:57
rogeremeka
Yeah, for sure.
00:27:02
rogeremeka
Fab, to bring us back to the top, which matchup do you hate this week for a specific player?
Players to Avoid in Week 2
00:27:08
rogeremeka
Two specific players.
00:27:08
Fabio
Uh, Davante Adams, uh, Y receiver for the Oakland Raiders. I mean, Las Vegas Raiders. I saw a bunch of Bruce Arias moves on the, on the camera right there.
00:27:18
rogeremeka
Honestly, it's they shouldn't move to Oakland at this point.
00:27:19
Nacc
I felt forced.
00:27:22
rogeremeka
Vegas doesn't deserve them.
00:27:23
Fabio
So. but
00:27:25
Nacc
Let them move back after I go.
00:27:26
Fabio
since it
00:27:28
Nacc
I want to go see the black hole.
00:27:30
Fabio
Yeah, I think hard times for Davante will unfortunately continue. ah Baltimore did give up to seven most points to wide receivers last week, but Minshu is not Pat Mahomes, so I think they will struggle against that defense. I'm expecting a bit of a similar stat line in the last week. Maybe he gets into the end zone, but I'm not really excited about it.
00:27:46
Fabio
Um, you drafted the Monte items to be like a low end wide receiver one high and wide receiver two. I think he puts up those wide receiver three numbers this week. I think it's going to be difficult for them to, uh, to get the ball to him.
00:27:58
Fabio
Let's see. He's not, it's not a matchup. I'm very excited about, I mean,
00:28:05
rogeremeka
Yeah, it's so that's an easy. The thing with Davante is like so still so skilled, still looks so good when he's running routes. But then when that ball is coming to him, just again, we've talked we talked about a lot during the offseason. they I think they really fumbled the situation by not prioritizing a better QB with regards to the Raiders.
00:28:27
Fabio
Well, I think the Falcons were the ones that really screwed up the situation for them by drafting PENEX right before unexpectedly like that.
00:28:32
Nacc
Big time.
00:28:33
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:28:33
Nacc
Big time. Big time.
00:28:36
Fabio
So I could have definitely seen PENEX.
00:28:36
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:28:37
Nacc
I think Michael Penix would have been cool there, man.
00:28:39
rogeremeka
Oh.
00:28:40
Fabio
Yeah.
00:28:41
Nacc
He would have been so cool there. like I feel like they would have been like the savior of the franchise.
00:28:44
rogeremeka
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:46
Nacc
like Everyone would have been like, wow, they finally got it right.
00:28:47
Fabio
Yep.
00:28:49
Nacc
you know like Who knows? Penix doesn't understand they're going to be good, but man, I feel like he's better than what they've got now. it's just and
00:28:57
rogeremeka
I feel like that coach, I feel like the coaching staff would have ruined him though. Like, I don't know. I really liked Antonio Pierce last year, but just some of the stuff that I think he's very, he's too much of an old school defensive type coach. I just, I don't know. And even the offensive coordinator, I believe it's Luke Getsey. That was the coordinator that Justin Fields had in Chicago. It was a very conservative offense. Like you got some studs there. Devontae Adams, as we all know is,
00:29:23
rogeremeka
you know, still a top five, top eight wide receiver at at most.
00:29:25
Fabio
Yep.
00:29:27
rogeremeka
Jacobi Meyer is a very solid WR2, Bowers, Meyer.
00:29:27
Fabio
Yep.
00:29:30
Fabio
Yep.
00:29:31
rogeremeka
So, and is wellll we'll have to see what the Raiders, how they do.
00:29:32
Fabio
No, the offense, the offensive weapons are definitely there. I think it's really just going to come down to the fact, like how they're going to game plan for, to get the guys, the ball, they need to get the guys, the ball, right?
00:29:35
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:29:40
Fabio
But I don't know if it's going to be the case for the Montayans this week. The other guy I have is, uh, is that Aaron Jones I just spoke about a little bit before and how you went off against the Giants but this week they're playing the San Francisco 49ers. Breeze Hall had a very nice game. That's Breeze Hall. San Francisco pretty much did keep him under control for the majority of the game. I think Breeze only had about 3.4 yards per carry. um San Francisco is obviously a different beast and I think the i think the Vikings and Aaron Jones are ultimately going to struggle against Nick Bose and Fred Warner and going to make life very hard for them. So I'm not expecting a
00:30:15
Fabio
Oh, I received a running back to form of numbers that you would normally get from Aaron Jones, even though I think he put up by running back one number this week. Um, he's going to come back. Now there might be a flex play, but not more than that. If you're desperate, it's on a matchup that I like.
00:30:30
rogeremeka
Yeah. Uh, Aaron Jones, I think solid for his game, look good and he's healthy.
00:30:34
Fabio
He looked good.
00:30:36
Fabio
Yeah.
00:30:37
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:30:37
rogeremeka
That's the key thing with him is, you know, can he come out unscathed?
00:30:39
Fabio
He looked good.
00:30:39
Fabio
And it was very promising from what's that?
00:30:40
rogeremeka
So.
00:30:41
Nacc
I mean you get a lot of catches though. They'll be playing from behind. They'll most likely be playing from behind. You might get the PPR and PPR leagues is where you might save you because you'll probably get some dump offs or some screens to
00:30:51
Fabio
But the thing is that, so Sam Darnold didn't see any pressure last week. Like barely any pressure at all. And he was like practically perfect. I think he had one interception, but apart from that, like he was practically perfect the entire game, he's going to see a lot more pressure. So I think it's going to be a lot more difficult for him to navigate in that pocket and even find Aaron Jones out in the flat. Um, I think it's going to be a very, very hard game for, for the Vikings and even a first survivor pick. If you're desperate after last week, I think this would be a great spot too.
00:31:22
rogeremeka
Yeah, I forgot to have Ty Chandler. he's He's always been a pretty solid pass-catching back. So that that might be one of the reasons why Aaron Jones didn't get as many receptions. Okay, thanks, Fab. Nack, who's in your hate in your hate situation for week two?
00:31:41
Nacc
Yeah, so hate situation week two. Honestly, it's an obvious one, but it's all the Packers wide receivers. um versus the colts ah it It looked like a juicy matchup to to begin the season when you saw week two on on the calendar and they probably would have fallen into my
00:31:52
Fabio
Mm hmm.
00:32:02
Nacc
ah Love category for for the week, but Malik Willis as the starter um Brings them all down a peg if not even two He looks he looks awful and he's looked awful throughout his career. and He's only been with the Packers for two weeks also So he's still learning learning the offense new coach new coordinator um So no no bueno for the Packers skill positions in in my eyes like read would be um wide receivers.
00:32:31
rogeremeka
Even Josh Jacobs? Oh, sorry.
00:32:34
Nacc
I'm saying wide receivers, like Jacob's figures to be, to get a heavy, a heavy workload in, in, in loves, uh, in loves absence.
00:32:35
rogeremeka
Okay.
00:32:39
Fabio
Yeah. Heavy workload. Yeah.
00:32:39
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:32:42
Nacc
But I mean, if you really need to start one, uh, like start read, but I'd exercise, I'd exercise caution.
00:32:47
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:32:49
Nacc
Like he looked really good last week. So it sucks for read owners, uh, who drafted him, you know, appropriately to be a WR two or three, you know, with upside, uh,
00:32:50
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:32:51
Fabio
Yeah.
00:33:00
Nacc
And honestly, not much more than a flex play. And even at that, like I said, just just exercise a lot of caution starting any Green Bay wide receiver for the next three to four weeks.
00:33:09
rogeremeka
I think Rita, I would agree with you if someone you still want to start. He's the only wide receiver that's least dependent on quarterback play because of his rushing ability.
00:33:17
Fabio
Yeah.
00:33:19
rogeremeka
Nack, what do you think of the tight ends, Kraft or Musgrave? Typically, kind of a, quote unquote, worse QB tends to rely on on the tight end more. And you know they they do have two good tight ends that...
00:33:31
Nacc
He's just, Maliquita is not accurate though. but That's, that's the, that's the issue, right?
00:33:33
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:33:34
Nacc
Like it's, it's like, he's going to have to throw obviously, right? Like a year, or a quarterback, you're going to have to throw that. I'm sure they're going to be very conservative with them as well. Uh, and the playbook again is going to be very small, right?
00:33:45
Nacc
It's going to be very limited because he's been there for a short period of time. So I just really don't like it. I don't like taking the chance on it. Could they be security blankets? Sure. But three, four yard passes, you know, like,
00:33:59
Nacc
those tight ends are not made to to juke out ah players and and make exciting plays right so I don't know for me I'm just I'm just trying to I'm staying away um starting any Packers wide receiver but Jacobs full force yeah so I um I made a bold one week one when I when I
00:34:11
Fabio
Yeah, it's a situation to completely avoid. To completely avoid. There's no other way to put it.
00:34:18
rogeremeka
Who's next on your do not play list?
00:34:26
Nacc
put Marvin Harrison Jr. on on the list and it's going to be a bold one for week two. I don't like Jamar Chase this week against the Chiefs. ah Chiefs gave up the eighth at fewest points, um two wide receivers in week one. Burrow did not look good. They played a team at home ah was supposed that was pegged to be like the 32nd ranked team in the league going into the season in the New England Patriots and they lost.
00:34:56
Nacc
know there was a couple mishaps they fumbled close to the goal line stuff like that but a trip to Arrowhead on Sunday is not the place where but not to get right place you want um and it's gonna be you know that I think Chase is also a bit of it he's annoyed too right so he's not like the he's not your your chase of but what do you what do you
00:35:04
Fabio
Nope.
00:35:17
Nacc
is usually he's, he's looking for that contract. His mind is elsewhere. Uh, what did he have? Six for 60 something yards last week. It wasn't like a huge stat line.
00:35:27
rogeremeka
but the nak realist nak realist like in what situation are people not like is this a matchup you don't like or are you saying like bench jamar chase okay no no but
00:35:36
Nacc
No, this is not a, bit this is not a starter sit segment. It's a it's lover. Hey, I just don't like chase, especially like if you're huge, huge drafted as a first round pick, right?
00:35:38
Fabio
Yeah. You don't like the matchup. That's it.
00:35:44
Nacc
So you're, your first round pick you're looking at 20 points you want 20 points realistically every week 15 18 points realistically and i just don't see him i don't think don't expect top 10 fantasy numbers from chase this week at arrowhead that's what i don't like i just don't like the play this week he's obviously a must start you're not going to take him out of your lineups and i said the same thing last week about marvin harrison jr you're starting marvin harrison jr you drafted him in the first or second round and what happened to marvin harrison jr one catch four yards so
00:36:06
rogeremeka
yeah Yeah, for sure.
00:36:06
Fabio
Yeah.
00:36:16
rogeremeka
Yeah, that makes sense.
00:36:16
Nacc
I mean, yeah, yeah, for sure.
00:36:16
rogeremeka
i just want I just want to make that clarification for the listeners as well.
00:36:19
Nacc
No, no, no, you're not, you're obviously not sitting Chase like a, unless you have, you know, Justin Jefferson, like some, some people do, but, um, you're not gonna, you're not going to sit Chase.
00:36:19
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:36:29
Nacc
I just, I really don't like the matchup and Cincinnati just does not look, does not look great after, after week one and, and to go and have to go into Arrowhead week two. I don't like the matchup.
00:36:40
rogeremeka
Yeah, and McDuffie is one of the better corners in in the league.
00:36:41
Fabio
Yeah.
00:36:42
Nacc
Yep.
00:36:42
rogeremeka
So it's i don't i don't I don't disagree with that aspect. It's not not the best vibes with the Bengals. And I was reading reports that Burrow was like, he's just keep stretching his wrist on the sideline.
00:36:56
Nacc
Told you that at the beginning of the year, man.
00:36:57
rogeremeka
some Yeah, something's...
00:36:59
Nacc
It's the injury that's going to linger and.
00:37:02
rogeremeka
I'm worried about Joe Burrow. He's one of my favorite QBs to watch, and like i'm I'm really starting to get worried about him.
00:37:04
Nacc
Yep.
00:37:08
rogeremeka
The the injuries are are starting to to take its toll, so um we'll we'll see on that front.
00:37:11
Nacc
Yep.
00:37:13
rogeremeka
um For me, this one will will hit close to home, NAC. George Pickens against the Broncos is a matchup that I hate. um Pickens is facing Pats Retain.
00:37:27
rogeremeka
Sertain, he held DK Metcalf to three catches and 29 yards and covered him on 24 of 25 routes. In my case, if you have better options, I would realistically say, feel free to sit depending on the options that that you have.
00:37:43
Fabio
100%. Yeah.
00:37:43
rogeremeka
you you Obviously, again, you can't do that with Jomar Chage.
00:37:45
rogeremeka
This is more of a, hey, just be mindful of it. But if you Pat Sartain is literally the top two cornerback in the league and he's shadowed many wide receivers in the past and he's he's one of those corners as we mentioned in a few previous episodes before he will shadow the best wide receiver for the entire game and he will lock them down so George Pickens for me is one matchup I would strongly avoid. And then um I struggled between like two guys, so I'll just say them both really quickly. Travis Etienne and Terry McClellan. McClellan, I'll go really quickly.
00:38:19
rogeremeka
I'm gonna go quickly because that's how fast Jaden Daniels gets rid of the ball. He hikes the ball and gets rid of it right away. I think Maclaurin had two catches for 17 yards ah last week and the way I see Daniels playing he's bailing out of clean pockets. and He bailed out of clean pockets the entire time. He did not look comfortable in the pocket.
00:38:39
rogeremeka
fantasy stats look good. He's going to look good from a fantasy stat perspective, but McClorn, I think, is not going to be the benefactor. And then Travis Etienne, I think it's going to be hard to trust him on a year-to-year basis, on ah on a week-to-week basis, excuse me. And he's facing a Browns defense that's very strong against the run. The daas the Dallas Cowboys had 25 carries for 100 yards.
00:39:01
rogeremeka
And most of that came from CD-Lam when he was doing some jet sweeps. So
00:39:04
Nacc
Yeah.
Final Thoughts and Predictions
00:39:05
rogeremeka
I think Etienne, and plus Etienne's fighting for, he's fighting, he's he's in he's in a realistic timeshare, I think, with Tank Bigsby, as we said in the previous show.
00:39:10
Fabio
Mm-hmm. It's a realistic threat.
00:39:14
rogeremeka
So Etienne, I think, I think he came on, did he he come on with Trevor Lawrence?
00:39:15
Nacc
Is this his third year or fourth?
00:39:17
Fabio
It's his fourth, I believe.
00:39:21
rogeremeka
Because they played together at Clemson.
00:39:22
Nacc
Right, so this has got to be his fourth year, so it's his final year.
00:39:24
rogeremeka
It's fourth year.
00:39:24
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:25
Nacc
He's this his contract year.
00:39:25
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:26
rogeremeka
Exactly. Yeah, exactly. So um we'll see how that goes. That is our loves and hates for the week. um That's kind of it. That's everything we had, guys. I think i think that's it. Then we want to preview to Thursday Night Football. Any quick predictions on Thursday Night Football before we get out of here?
00:39:46
Nacc
I mean it figures to be a good game. I think it's going to be high scoring the dolphins seem to. kind of crumble when playing the Bills as of as of late.
00:39:57
Nacc
The Bills have had their number, but I'm just, I'm honestly curious to see what happens in that Miami backfield, because as we mentioned, Devon A. Chain or H. Ann, A. Chain, whatever you want to call him, he's injured and suspected to have a high ankle sprain.
00:40:10
rogeremeka
eat chen
00:40:12
Nacc
So I'm just wondering, I want to see if that, if Jalen Wright gets in, see what he looks like as well. So kind of, kind of excited to see that and see if Coleman could kind of keep growing with, with Josh Allen, too. He led the team in in in targets in week one. So good to see.
00:40:30
rogeremeka
The bills typically have the dolphins number, no?
00:40:32
Nacc
Yeah.
00:40:33
rogeremeka
Yeah.
00:40:34
Nacc
I think the last 13 and 1, the last 14 games or something, it's like something crazy. There's a stat that's really crazy. Or if it's just in Buffalo, maybe.
00:40:45
Nacc
This one's in Miami. but
00:40:48
rogeremeka
Yeah, it should be fun. Love those divisional matchups early on in the season, especially on Thursday Night Football. That'll do it for today's show, guys. Thank you so much for joining us.
