We spotlight Puka Nacua’s WR1 potential for fantasy playoffs after a 9-catch, 98-yard performance, and discuss Tyreek Hill’s future as a first-round pick with age and injury concerns looming.

Rams vs. Dolphins Game Analysis
00:01:50
Roger Emeka
All right, guys, let's break down the takeaways from Monday Night Football. Mr. Knack, you go first.
00:01:58
Nacc
Mr. Knack. Yeah, I took away that Matt Stafford is way too inconsistent for ah fantasy football this year. He had a couple back-to-back solid outings when he had he got back his receivers where he scored, I think it was 29 points and then 21 points. Very, very solid after obviously a very rocky start to the year.
00:02:20
Nacc
Um, and then most people thought, you know, Stafford was back from, from fantasy dead, right? After everyone was all excited. Yes. We got our QB back a nice little, uh, this little playoff push to down the stretch. Um, he was looking kind of like a savior and, but then put up a huge dud on.
00:02:38
Nacc
on Monday night at home versus the lowly dolphins like 293 scoreless yards and int for just under 11 points and on third down he went four for eight 45 yards uh one int for 26 passer rating which was um really really awful to watch last night that was definitely not one of his better better games i mean shout out definitely to the dolphins d but very uninspiring performance from the rams at home in prime time and Stafford has a very tough schedule down um the stretch. like are you Are you trusting him heading into you know the end of the year up in the playoffs?
00:03:22
Roger Emeka
He was pressured on 23% of his dropbacks where there was pressures that led to a sack. So he was sacked four times.
00:03:33
Nacc
Yeah.
00:03:33
Roger Emeka
They have to show up that offensive line. If they don't show up that offensive line, as good as the receiving threats are, and even Kyron Williams, I don't know if they can make it that far.
00:03:43
Nacc
But it's the line was the healthiest it's been all year. I think they were missing one guy from from their offensive line.
00:03:47
Roger Emeka
Noteboom was back and the other guy forgot. I think Noteboom was back. ah Yeah, you're right.
00:03:52
Nacc
yeah They were only missing they're only missing one guy last night. like their whole Their team was literally the healthiest it's been all season long.
00:03:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I think look you have to give credit to Miami. Like, yeah.
00:04:02
Nacc
Yeah, did that's what I did.
00:04:02
Fabio
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:03
Nacc
I gave credit to the the d the defense played.
00:04:04
Roger Emeka
Yeah. I know you. I know you did. Yeah.
00:04:05
Nacc
The defense played incredible for sure.
00:04:05
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:08
Nacc
Definitely give credit where credit is due. I just, I, I expected more from Stafford in prime time at home. Like that division is still wide open, right? Like not to say that they're out by any stretch, but, um,
Player Performances and Future Prospects
00:04:20
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:04:20
Nacc
that division was wide open and they had a chance to kind of, you know, try to keep up with San Fran and the Cardinals.
00:04:27
Nacc
And I think they blew it, um, an opportunity there.
00:04:27
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:04:32
Roger Emeka
Philly, Buffalo, your Jets kind of overrated defense, but they get San Fran as well. You're right. the Very tough sledding um for Matt Stafford going forward.
00:04:44
Roger Emeka
Otherwise though, Fab, I think from a wide receiver standpoint, I think you had some takes on um the long haired oos from the Rams.
00:04:53
Fabio
Yeah, Pooka to the moon, man. I forgot how nice it is to watch Pooka play. He won 9 for 98 on 14 targets. He showed burst, speed, even got a tackle too, so if your league counts that, you're very happy. ah No TDs, but also no punches thrown either, so that's a positive. ah very small sample so a Very small sample size, but in the 2.5 games he's played, he has 250 yards on 21 receptions and 31 targets.
00:05:19
Fabio
So if you have puka and your team has survived this long Congrats on staying the course because you have an every week wide receiver one at the time accounts the most The schedule for the rest of the season isn't great like just as nak just alluded to but he did put up just under 19 fantasy points versus the 26th rate of miami d Face off against jaylen ramsay most of the night in the slot and i'll draw and out wide. So I think I think i'll be fine and I think uh He'll continue to turn up these types of productions for the rest of season two.
00:05:50
Roger Emeka
He really is fun to watch with like the the hair flowing and physical.
00:05:52
Fabio
He is though, like he's, but he plays recklessly.
00:05:54
Nacc
it's just He's special, man. Fifth round. Fifth round.
00:05:58
Fabio
It's just me. Does he play very recklessly?
00:05:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah, he's, yeah.
00:06:00
Fabio
Like you have to, you have to wonder like how sustainable that is for the rest of his career.
00:06:01
Nacc
Yeah, he plays without fear. Just like ah just like Tua did when he went to go tackle with his head last night.
00:06:06
Fabio
Oh my God.
00:06:09
Nacc
Reckless.
00:06:10
Fabio
I don't get it.
00:06:11
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I am a PUKA owner in Bush league and I'm very, very happy considering what's happening with CD-Lam. my My takeaway, and I think we're going to have to have some tough conversations about Tyreek Hill, but are we sure Tyreek Hill is going to be a surefire WR1 next year or WR1 in the first round in Redraft?
00:06:34
Roger Emeka
I haven't really done a deep dive yet to see if he's lost a step to injuries, but the two injury history and the fact that he's either turned 30 or is going to be turning 30 very soon. Definitely think it's cause for concern. He had four targets, three receptions, 16 yards and a touchdown yesterday. And basically since two has been back.
00:06:52
Roger Emeka
ah He's only averaging, I believe he's only averaging like, call it like 10, 12 fantasy points per game. So my question to you guys is, he was the WR1 or WR2 consensus this year, but for me, guys that I would take over him next year,
00:07:11
Roger Emeka
under no order, but depending on age, talent, and market value would be Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, C.D. Lam, Nico Collins, and I think on the borderline you have A.J. Brown, Malik Neighbours, Marvin Harrison Jr., maybe, Pukunakua, and then from a running back perspective, I'm definitely taking Bijan, CMC, and Saquon, 100%. I don't know what you guys think.
00:07:35
Nacc
Why? For sure. Puca over, over Tyreek. I, I have Puca like super, super high, especially like, I don't know what's going to happen with that quarterback situation with the Rams, but, and even Marvin Harrison Jr. Another year, another year, a sophomore year. Yeah. I don't know. I, I'm, I'm, I think I'm with you. I think there is definitely cause for concern.
00:08:00
Nacc
Um, definitely not going to be a wider see where I'm targeting in the first round. That's for sure. Um, and even in, in two QB leagues, he could probably go as low as the third round next year.
00:08:11
Roger Emeka
Hmm.
00:08:11
Fabio
Yeah Yeah, I don't disagree No, I was gonna say I don't disagree with any of that.
00:08:13
Nacc
That's what I, that's what I i see happening.
00:08:16
Roger Emeka
Yeah, it feels it. Go ahead, Fab.
00:08:20
Fabio
I mean the only ones that I would Pause on is Marvin Harrison jr. But then again Like you figure Marvin would have more of an upside next year than maybe to it does and I started in the entire week does and I can't believe we're having this conversation ah But although those guys you mentioned for sure I would take them before Before Tyreke you look at his body of work this year and it has been hasn't been inspiring at all even
00:08:34
Roger Emeka
I know.
Coaching Decisions and Team Strategies
00:08:44
Fabio
with to a back You wonder yeah, you do wonder indeed if he's lost his step
00:08:50
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I haven't deep dived into it enough, but it's starting to feel a little bit like Stefan Diggs' 2023 season. And yeah, again, since two has been back. ah Yeah, exactly.
00:09:00
Roger Emeka
It's 12.
00:09:00
Nacc
Nine targets in two games with two back like that's weird.
00:09:02
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:09:03
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:03
Roger Emeka
So JJ Zachary's not a really interesting tweet. The Dolphins are one of three teams with a wide receiver target share below 50% this season. The other two are the Chiefs and the Saints. And again, they have Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle.
00:09:14
Nacc
Which makes sense, and they've all had injuries, they've had injuries.
00:09:16
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
00:09:17
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:17
Roger Emeka
So. um
00:09:19
Nacc
That's strange, man. I don't know. I don't know what it is. um I think, honestly, to tell you the truth, some of it has to be has to do with coaching. um I have not been excited or ah wowed by what McDonald's has done.
00:09:36
Nacc
Not McDonald's.
00:09:39
Roger Emeka
McDaniel.
00:09:39
Nacc
What's that? It is McDaniel.
00:09:41
Fabio
It's McDonald's.
00:09:41
Roger Emeka
Yeah, McDaniel.
00:09:41
Nacc
OK.
00:09:42
Fabio
Yeah.
00:09:42
Nacc
I haven't been, yeah, I really haven't been like wowed by what he's done or how he's handled the situation, even like offensively and stuff.
00:09:42
Roger Emeka
No S.
00:09:50
Nacc
And I think, okay, Tua got injured, but I mean, it does start from the top where they didn't get QB help or QB prone, ah an injury prone QB, but um he's definitely one of the coaches on the hot seat.
00:10:05
Nacc
And I would not be shocked if he was let go at the end of the year.
Bears' Offensive Changes
00:10:09
Roger Emeka
something for sure to monitor for next year's redraft leagues. So that's it for Monday Night Football recap, again, somewhat of an uneventful game. Moving on, there was some interesting news today. Obviously, we've been talking about the Bears and Caleb Williams. There's been a lot talked about in terms of how that situation has developed. The Bears have fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. They named Thomas Brown as the interim offensive coordinator.
00:10:37
Roger Emeka
He was the passing game coordinator. I believe he was the OC for the Carolina Panthers last year as well. And I think in um in his passes of running backs coach.
00:10:47
Roger Emeka
So I would expect for them to kind of try to lean into the run a bit more, which I think would be a good strategy for them. Any thoughts on that guys?
00:10:56
Nacc
I agree I'm just not it's not like the sexy pic for another another OC like again He was in Carolina last year too.
00:10:57
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:11:04
Nacc
So doesn't really doesn't really aspire Yeah, yeah for sure just to just I don't know we'll see I look I can't get any worse right there the 30th ranked offense right now in the league so I mean like I guess I guess it can go to lower but um Yeah, I don't know a change was needed that's for sure
00:11:04
Roger Emeka
Yeah, but that's an inter that's an interim rule. Yeah.
00:11:08
Fabio
Yeah.
00:11:18
Fabio
Yeah.
00:11:21
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:11:23
Fabio
I just hope this might showcase Roma Dunsey more than anything else. That's, that's what I'm hoping for as far as an offensive is concerned, but I, I don't have any, this doesn't change anything for me.
00:11:32
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:11:33
Fabio
Like I'm still, I'm still low on the offense and until the head coach gets fired and replaced and he brings in someone exciting, you know, like from, from one of those Ben Johnson types of ideas.
00:11:43
Fabio
And then I don't see this offense turning into anything noteworthy, unfortunately. And it sucks because we've said it all year, they have all the talent, but. ah They're just not playing to to Caleb's strengths right now, unfortunately.
00:11:55
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
Giants' QB Situation
00:11:57
Roger Emeka
More news, Aizio Pacheco's practice window may be open this week. We talked a little bit about him when we were talking about a trade scenario with Kareem Hunt. So that could be interesting to see Pacheco back maybe later towards the tail end of the season. That would be good for a lot of those fantasy owners as well.
00:12:16
Roger Emeka
And then Daniel Jones being but potentially being benched coming out of the bye. I think Adam Schefter, Adam Schefter had a report saying that he firmly believes that there's a good chance that Daniel Jones has played his last snap with the Giants.
00:12:30
Roger Emeka
I listened a little bit to Brian Dables press conference too, and they asked him basically point blank. What are they going to do with the quarterback position after the bye? And I mean, it sounded like someone who's ready to move on from his current quarter starting quarterback.
00:12:44
Roger Emeka
So that is well, well overdue.
00:12:45
Nacc
trees He's trying to save his job as well, right?
00:12:47
Fabio
Yeah.
00:12:48
Roger Emeka
Yeah, totally.
00:12:48
Nacc
I think it's i think that might be one way to do it.
00:12:49
Fabio
Yeah, for sure.
00:12:51
Roger Emeka
Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:55
Roger Emeka
So now we'll move on to the love hate for week 11. Just a quick reminder, week 11 buys, we have their Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers, the New York Giants, and the Tampa Bay butcker Buccaneers.
00:13:09
Roger Emeka
So collectively, sorry?
00:13:09
Nacc
Buckaroos. It sounded like you were going to go Buckaroos.
00:13:16
Roger Emeka
Man, with the injuries they have right now, I'd rather call them the buckaroos.
Week 11 Love-Hate Segment
00:13:20
Nacc
Hm.
00:13:20
Roger Emeka
The Week 10 Love Hey record. So collectively, we were seven and five, not bad. So Fab, you were three and one. You hit on Tyrone Tracy as a love.
00:13:32
Roger Emeka
and you hit on hate for Jake Ferguson and Drake May, you lost on on a love for Mike Kasicki. He only got seven points, which ah honestly, I could have seen that one coming, ah knowing Mike Kasicki.
00:13:50
Fabio
Why I mean you I disagree with that but fine he did have nine targets on that game like Of course, yeah, you look at the last last three games or two games he was killing it and then you put him up against the Was it against the Baltimore that they played like I mean
00:13:53
Roger Emeka
my It's Mike man.
00:13:55
Nacc
But clearly you disagreed since you had them in your in their love.
00:13:56
Roger Emeka
It's Mike.
00:14:07
Nacc
You know what he reminds me of?
00:14:08
Roger Emeka
Hunter Henry.
00:14:09
Nacc
Hunter Henry. There we go. There we go.
00:14:11
Fabio
Yeah.
00:14:11
Nacc
Perfect example.
00:14:12
Roger Emeka
Because I was just going to say it.
00:14:12
Fabio
Yeah.
00:14:13
Nacc
Perfect example is Hunter Henry.
00:14:14
Fabio
Yeah. That's true. That's a good call. Yeah. That's a good call.
00:14:16
Nacc
That guy is a waste man.
00:14:18
Fabio
Listen, Joe Burrow, Joe Burrow had a fantastic game. Just none of it went to Gisicki. What are you going to do? We move on.
00:14:22
Roger Emeka
i I believe T Higgins is scheduled back, so yeah.
00:14:24
Fabio
Yes. Yes. So Gisicki is definitely a drop candidate. You don't think you have to hold on to him anymore.
00:14:29
Roger Emeka
There you go.
00:14:29
Fabio
Plus I'm not mistaken. They go on by next week as well. So yeah.
00:14:32
Roger Emeka
Yeah, there you go. Nack, you were two a two two and two. You hit on TJ Hawkinson as a love and major, major kudos to hitting on Jaden Daniels for your hate. um For your loves, you lost on Roma Dunze and you lost on Chase Brown as a hate because of his nine catch game.
00:14:53
Nacc
had 11 targets, like that's outrageous, uh, simply outrageous.
00:14:55
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:14:58
Nacc
I think the most, the most he had all year was five and he had 11.
00:14:58
Roger Emeka
and
00:15:03
Roger Emeka
I'll take that as a love for predicting that he was going to get the PPR points if you want to.
00:15:07
Fabio
assistance
00:15:09
Nacc
Yeah. I mean, you did, you did say, but ah oh how, how could you have ever predicted 11 targets and nine catches like nine?
00:15:10
Fabio
You called it you called it No
00:15:16
Roger Emeka
No, I couldn't have. No, I was thinking like five.
00:15:17
Nacc
The most he had out all year, I think, was three or four.
00:15:19
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:15:20
Nacc
I mean, just like nine catches? Like, come on, dude.
00:15:22
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:23
Nacc
Nine points. yeah like youd Take away those nine catches, and it didn't look didn't look as good.
00:15:28
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:15:29
Nacc
Anyways, whatever. It is what it is.
00:15:31
Roger Emeka
I was also 2 and 2, I hit on my love as Joanne Jennings, who had a really solid game, and I hit on my hate for Caleb caleb Williams. And then I lost out as a love, Jameson Williams, and as I hate Calvin Ridley, who had a really nice game against the Chargers, looking good for his outlook for the rest of the season.
00:15:47
Nacc
Yeah.
00:15:48
Fabio
Yeah.
00:15:50
Roger Emeka
Collectively, we are 61, Faber-D's updated.
00:15:53
Fabio
Yeah. These are live.
00:15:54
Roger Emeka
Yeah, great. Thank you. Collectively, we're at 61, 42, and 5 so far this year. I think that's a pretty good record for for some newbies on the fantasy trail, on the fantasy content trail.
00:16:04
Roger Emeka
So give us our flowers, please.
00:16:07
Fabio
Yes.
00:16:08
Roger Emeka
So let's start with, what?
00:16:08
Nacc
Yeah, no one. I was going to I was just going to say the Jaden dinos, the ah the heat really yeah went away after they saw his performance. I was I was kind of worried because man, if ah if that would have popped off, I think we would have got destroyed, like completely destroyed.
00:16:27
Roger Emeka
They burned us on the stake, man. or It tells us just to stop doing what we're doing.
00:16:28
Nacc
Yeah, that would have been that would have been a bad one.
00:16:31
Roger Emeka
so it They would take it away on our Zincaster accounts.
00:16:35
Roger Emeka
Nack, who's your first love for the for Week 11?
00:16:38
Nacc
Yeah, so I'm going to say ah Dawson Knox slash Dalton Kincaid just because we don't know um if Kincaid is going to play or not. So if Kincaid does play, ill I'll take the love on Kincaid and if he doesn't, I'll take Knox.
00:16:52
Nacc
um The wide receivers have not been the the biggest bright spot on the offense for the Bills. They've been spreading the ball around, so there's no clear number one there at the moment. And with Keon Coleman already ruled out for Sunday and Amari Cooper status up in the air, that leaves them once again in that wide receiver on Sunday.
00:17:12
Nacc
They get a KC team giving up the second most points to the tight end position and tight ends have put up double digit fantasy points in three of the last four games while facing the Chiefs. So I'm looking for Knox or Kincaid to step up in what could be and what could become a shootout on on Sunday.
00:17:29
Roger Emeka
It's a good call. I didn't know the chiefs were were that bad defending the tight end.
00:17:34
Nacc
Yep, they've given up some some some decent games down the last few games.
00:17:41
Roger Emeka
And who's your second hate?
00:17:42
Nacc
But.
00:17:43
Roger Emeka
Go ahead.
00:17:44
Nacc
No, I was going to say last week, it wasn't crazy, but still give up a touchdown to Trotman, so it ended up being a decent game, but or else they've given up ah like 15, I think it was 15 plus.
00:17:57
Nacc
The last three games before.
00:17:59
Roger Emeka
And who's your second love for a week 11?
00:18:01
Nacc
A second love is going to be Nick Chubb against the Saints, if not now, when so Chubb had um has had a rough go since you're returning from injury, albeit playing ah some top-run defenses. ah He has now three games to ramp up and has led the team in rushing attempts in all three, so it's definitely not a lack of ah trying or attempts. um He also just got the bye, so he should be full go and rested for week 11. He gets a Saints D that gives up ah the 10th most points to running backs but have been very generous of late.
00:18:37
Nacc
ah giving up 29 to Bijan, 21 to Hubbard, 16 to Dobbins, 26 to Givante, and then 53 total to Tucker in Irving. So they've been ah gashed as of late. He may need to find the end zone, ah but if there's a week to start him, I think it's week 11 versus the Saints.
00:19:00
Roger Emeka
They have the third worst run block rating on PFF this year. and Usually they're ah an amazing run blocking team. I think they've had some injuries on the offense line, right? This year.
00:19:13
Nacc
Yes.
00:19:13
Roger Emeka
Yeah. So this man, I love Nick Chubb. I think in like this, this particular injury, like if he could come back and be the same player from this one and do it again, he is an absolute iron man.
00:19:26
Roger Emeka
But man, that injury is, uh, was something. So
Player Matchups and Expectations
00:19:29
Roger Emeka
I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be surprised if it's going to be a just in general going forward, if if he never kind of reaches that, that peak, but I'm rooting for him.
00:19:29
Nacc
yeah Sure. Yeah, for sure. And look, I said this is the game that he finds it right.
00:19:40
Nacc
Three ramp up games plus a by like if this is if there's a time where he's going to do it, it's here or else, you know, might have to think of sticking him to the bench in case of injury.
00:19:41
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:19:42
Fabio
Yeah.
00:19:42
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:19:47
Roger Emeka
Yep.
00:19:52
Roger Emeka
Yep. Fab, who you got as your first love?
00:19:56
Fabio
CJ Stroud at Dallas on Monday Night Football. Yes, Stroud has been very underwhelming to say the least in 2024. He's currently QB 25 in the last four weeks. It splits from last year to this year and the first 10 games are actually somewhat pretty similar, but very different in the wrong places, specifically in the passing yards.
00:20:14
Fabio
and passing touchdowns. At this point in the season last year, he had I think about 600 more passing yards and five more touchdowns. I mean, listen, he's been dealing with some online issues and his pass catchers have been hurt.
00:20:27
Fabio
But when Nico coming back this week and, uh, John Mecci taking over a slot, uh, taken over the slot role pretty admirably, I think we'll start to see this GGA of old his completion percentage is still very good and comparable to 2023. Uh, it's actually, it's actually better this year than it was last year. And only my 0.1 of a percent. Uh, but now also having his wide receiver quarterback healthy again is a huge boost. It doesn't hurt that he faces Dallas game with the fourth most fantasy points to QBs this year. And I've surrendered multiple passing TDs in five of nine games.
00:20:56
Fabio
Uh, just in the last four games, they've given up nine touchdowns and 11 in the last five. So I think you can fire up CJ as a QB one as you drafted him. Also, I think it's important to note that this is a Monday night football game.
00:21:08
Fabio
So you don't have to worry about the sun getting into CJ's eyes. No blinds are needed.
00:21:13
Roger Emeka
Did you come up with that yourself?
00:21:15
Fabio
I did. Thank you.
00:21:15
Roger Emeka
That was amazing. That was amazing.
00:21:16
Nacc
That was pretty good.
00:21:17
Roger Emeka
Yeah, that was really good.
00:21:17
Fabio
Yeah.
00:21:18
Nacc
Pretty good. I'll give you kudos for that.
00:21:19
Fabio
You know, I saw when they, when they built the stadium, like I noticed that as a bit of a flop and it was supposed to be one of those things where like, you know how Miami, the, the OA team is always on the side of the sun during those one o'clock games, right?
00:21:19
Roger Emeka
ah
00:21:31
Fabio
It would, it would have been like a benefit, but I don't know.
00:21:34
Nacc
But they have to flip a coin, like the side doesn't matter.
00:21:36
Fabio
Well, that's it. It's, it's, it's stupid.
00:21:37
Nacc
So like they can't, but they have curtains, guys, they have curtains. They could have closed the curtains because they have curtains for like, um, Concerts and and and stuff like that when they had that they had wrestling there like and everything has to go black and they have to like cut out and so they have them like why didn't you just use them like Really that's oh my god
00:21:49
Fabio
Okay. Yeah.
00:21:55
Fabio
Did you see during the press conference, they use something to block the sun coming in that way?
00:21:59
Roger Emeka
from Mike McCarthy.
00:22:00
Fabio
Oh, so, so ironic. I love it.
00:22:02
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:22:02
Fabio
I love it. So dripping with irony. I love it.
00:22:07
Roger Emeka
The Stroud Call is a good one, Fab. I think you had mentioned in our in our show notes, but 34 sacks this year, he had 38 all of last year.
00:22:16
Fabio
Yeah.
00:22:17
Roger Emeka
30% pressure rate for Stroud like this year compared to 22% last year. So I see this as Nico Collins being back and kind of Stroud starting to write the ship again.
00:22:23
Fabio
Yeah.
00:22:30
Fabio
Yeah. Well, if you look at his splits from last year, his passer rating is more or less the same, a hundred versus 90. His completion percentage is exactly the same. So it really comes down to, I think just like weapons, I suppose.
00:22:42
Fabio
Like I don't want to, I want to knock CJ.
00:22:44
Nacc
ah hundred Versus 90.
00:22:47
Fabio
What's that?
00:22:47
Nacc
That's a regression a bit. 100 to 90.
00:22:50
Fabio
Yeah, but that's, ah that's also a combination of less passing yards and less passing touchdowns.
00:22:51
Nacc
It's a pretty.
00:22:54
Fabio
Right. But it's completion percentage is exactly the same.
00:22:56
Nacc
Yeah.
00:22:56
Fabio
So, uh, it's, I think, I think Nico coming back and it's, and meet you, honestly, meet you playing in the slot.
00:22:57
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I agree with you.
00:23:00
Nacc
Less DDs.
00:23:04
Fabio
Like he looked good. We, we spoke about that yesterday, right?
00:23:05
Roger Emeka
Yes.
00:23:06
Fabio
So it's going to help a lot too.
00:23:07
Roger Emeka
Yes. Yes.
00:23:08
Nacc
I like that guy.
00:23:08
Roger Emeka
I believe you have another QB Fabio.
00:23:11
Fabio
Yeah, Justin Herbert versus Cincinnati in Sunday Night Football. Three straight games of 20 or more fancy points for Mr. Herbert. Six little TDs, no picks in the last three games. Justin Herbert has been balling again. ah He's dropped back at least 27 times to pass in the last five or six games, so he's been slinging it a ton. In the last four weeks, he's actually QB seven and fourth the NFL in passing yards. To top it all off, he faces the Bengals this week. Sunday Night Football, who are known for giving up TDs and passing yards.
00:23:41
Fabio
Cincinnati have surrendered 17 passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns to QBs. Just last week, Justin Herbert got it done with his legs for the first time in a long time. Opposing QBs don't see all that much pressure either. Bengals were fourth last in the NFL this season with 17 sacks. Justin is a must start in all formats and a top five play this week in my opinion. It's nice to see him doing well, honestly. Like I know there's a lot of speculation on him this season with, uh, with Harbaugh taking over and how they're going to be running the ball a lot more.
00:24:11
Fabio
But, uh, he did, he did have a little start.
00:24:12
Nacc
Get a bumpy start.
00:24:15
Fabio
Yeah. It takes a while sometimes, I guess.
00:24:15
Nacc
Violate. Yeah.
00:24:17
Roger Emeka
he is He is fantastic, man.
00:24:19
Fabio
He's a good quarterback.
00:24:20
Roger Emeka
He is so good, and like let's be real, like the wide receivers are... like nothing to write home about yet.
00:24:27
Fabio
No.
00:24:27
Roger Emeka
I think there they will be but good. And speaking of a wide receiver who I think will be we'll be good and will be better, who's a rookie now for the Chargers.
00:24:31
Fabio
Mm-hmm.
00:24:34
Roger Emeka
My my love is Lad McConkie against those same Bengals on Sunday Night Football. So McConkie gets the benefit of facing the Bengals, who just got absolutely destroyed via the pass against the Ravens.
00:24:45
Roger Emeka
And they're allowing the seventh most fantasy points to wide receivers in the last four games. McConkie is averaging 75 receiving yards per game over those last ah three weeks and he's showing he's more than just an underneath guy with 19 yards per reception and 68 of his 37 catches are for first down. I think that's an interesting key because the Bengals are allowing the fifth most first downs per game so I could see McConkie being a key guy to move the change.
00:25:14
Roger Emeka
the chain the chains, excuse me. I expect this to be a shootout and that type of game strip script benefits Justin Herbert throwing the football versus the Chargers relying on JK dominance and the running game.
00:25:27
Nacc
Yep, I agree.
00:25:29
Fabio
Yeah, JK Dobbins fixed a bit of a hit day because Gus Edwards coming back now, like that's a very much an even split backfield.
00:25:35
Roger Emeka
So jkke when J.K. Donaldmans was a real league winner early on in the year, when not the Fugazi league winner that he is now, he was splitting basically the backfield carries 50-50 and he had those two monster games.
00:25:48
Fabio
Yeah.
00:25:49
Roger Emeka
I think that's what benefits him the most considering his injury history.
00:25:52
Fabio
True.
00:25:54
Roger Emeka
I would rather he be kind of ah in a split backfield versus getting all the carries.
00:25:54
Nacc
Right.
00:25:58
Fabio
You see a lot of NFL teams nowadays, like relying on two back fields and, and it's really like a ground and pound guy versus somebody that catches out in the flat.
00:26:02
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:26:05
Nacc
It's the move.
00:26:06
Fabio
Right. So it's, it makes sense.
00:26:07
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:26:08
Fabio
You need those options.
00:26:10
Roger Emeka
Speaking of teams with muddled back fields,
Listener Questions and Trade Debates
00:26:14
Roger Emeka
my second love, great.
00:26:14
Fabio
What a segue.
00:26:16
Roger Emeka
Yeah. My second love is Bo Nicks versus the Falcons. So I think Bo Nicks might've had his best game as a pro last week against one of the best real life defenses in the Chiefs and expect them to continue that trend against the Atlanta Falcons who over the past four weeks are allowing 21 fantasy points per game to QBs, six most in the league.
00:26:35
Roger Emeka
Nix is also averaging 29 rushing yards per game with four TDs on the season and the Falcons have allowed Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts to run for 57 and 83 yards respectively this season. Nix is trending upward and is in a prime spot against the Falcons defense that is fourth worst in QB pressures in the league. it's It might be time to start saying that Bo Nix might be better than Caleb Williams at least this year.
00:27:03
Nacc
He is.
00:27:03
Roger Emeka
Yeah, like I don't think there's any doubt about it.
00:27:03
Fabio
Yeah, yeah, it's not a, it's not a debate.
00:27:05
Roger Emeka
At least this year. Yeah.
00:27:07
Nacc
There's I think he's one of the poorest rookie QBs this year to be honest with you out of out of what that and he's he's only better than Penix who's who's thrown what a couple passes this season played a few a few a few snaps.
00:27:13
Roger Emeka
He's the worst right now. Yeah, he's the worst right now.
00:27:15
Fabio
Yeah.
00:27:24
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:27:26
Nacc
But now Caleb just looked awful. But the whole team is just in a in a not in sync right now.
00:27:29
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:27:30
Fabio
Yeah, it's a part of the coaching staff. It's a product of everything, right? It's really just a, it's a comedy of errors, man.
00:27:35
Nacc
Makes us look the best out of all out of the bunch so far. And and you know what? Drake May has looked pretty good too.
00:27:41
Fabio
Yep.
00:27:41
Roger Emeka
May's look fantastic too.
00:27:42
Fabio
Mm-hmm.
00:27:43
Roger Emeka
Nack, who do you have as your first hate?
00:27:47
Nacc
Yeah, so my first hate this week is going to be ah Lamar Jackson at the Pittsburgh Steelers. So similar to last week, I might catch a lot of hate mail at the beginning of the week when this comes out. But Lamar Jackson is two and four versus the Steelers in his career and the Ravens are one and seven versus Pittsburgh in their last eight meetings.
00:28:08
Nacc
So in those six games, Lamar has 870 total passing yards, four total TDs, seven INTs, seven fumbles. He's been sacked 20 times, ah had a completion percentage of 59.
00:28:24
Nacc
and a average QB rating of 66. So not exactly MVP numbers for an MVP quality quarterback when he plays these Steelers.
00:28:35
Nacc
So for whatever reason, the Steelers have been his kryptonite year in and year out. And this game is for the division lead. So these games are also very low scoring. I think it's like nine out of the last 10 have hit the under on on if you're if you're a better.
00:28:49
Roger Emeka
Mm.
00:28:52
Nacc
Um, they held Jayden Daniels last week, who was my, my hate to 8.58 points in week 10. And they're giving up the third fewest points to QB. So look for Jackson struggles versus Steelers to continue in week 11.
00:29:06
Roger Emeka
I love this. I like this call.
00:29:07
Fabio
Yeah.
00:29:08
Roger Emeka
I like it. I think that's going to be reminding us about Jaden Daniels in that call for, for what every week.
00:29:11
Fabio
1 million percent.
00:29:18
Roger Emeka
ah But no, but seriously, like this is, this is such a great call. I mean, and you know, this rivalry so well. So I'm looking really forward to this. How is this not a prime time match? Are you kidding me?
00:29:28
Nacc
ah Because I think CBS did not want to give give up the ah the rights to this and I the Steelers already had Steelers had like four back-to-back something like that Actually, I think CBS CBS has the CBS has the prime slot at 425 that's KC and Buffalo and I know they can't move Monday night games and Sunday night.
00:29:38
Roger Emeka
yeah i Yeah, I'm tired of seeing Steelers. Yeah, I'm tired of seeing Steelers on Monday night football and something like that.
00:29:41
Fabio
Yeah, they've been in prime time for quite a bit this year.
00:29:52
Nacc
It's you just mentioned it you had
00:29:56
Roger Emeka
Bengals, Chargers.
00:29:57
Nacc
Bengals chargers. Yeah, they didn't want to they didn't want to move that because of two like Steelers and they tend to be low scoring and that one's probably going to be ah higher scoring.
00:29:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:30:06
Roger Emeka
Good point.
00:30:07
Nacc
So.
00:30:07
Roger Emeka
Good point. Fab?
00:30:09
Fabio
Knack, you want to give a prediction on this game?
00:30:11
Roger Emeka
Yeah, call.
00:30:11
Fabio
Like how many points do you think Lamar Jackson is going to score?
00:30:12
Nacc
On which one?
00:30:14
Fabio
The only reason why I ask this is because obviously the, Jane and Daniel's put up like less than 10 points last week, but Lamar has been like fairly matchup proof.
00:30:15
Roger Emeka
Oh, you can ask him to it.
00:30:21
Roger Emeka
Did he?
Conclusion and Social Media Engagement
00:30:25
Nacc
I see what you did there. Um, yeah, I know he has been match approved, but the only team that he hasn't been match approved against is Pittsburgh, right? So, um, look, he's, he's, uh, Jayden Daniels is also a rookie where Mike Tomlin was 25 and six first rookies in his career. Lamar Jackson is not a rookie. I don't see him putting up only nine points, but I don't see him also putting up 30 against the ah Steelers. So.
00:30:55
Nacc
Maybe hovering around that 15-16 point mark, because I'm sure he's likely to score at least a touchdown.
00:31:01
Fabio
As someone who is facing Lamar Jackson this week, I am fully on board with this call.
00:31:08
Roger Emeka
yeah man he's He's averaging 26 fantasy points per game this year.
00:31:11
Fabio
Dude, he's nasty this year.
00:31:14
Nacc
OK, he's on.
00:31:14
Roger Emeka
You're going to get a you're goingnna get a win.
00:31:15
Nacc
He's on. He's on.
00:31:16
Roger Emeka
You're going to get a win in love hate if he gets 20 points, basically.
00:31:18
Fabio
Yeah, basically.
00:31:19
Nacc
He's on.
00:31:20
Fabio
Yeah.
00:31:20
Nacc
ah He's on.
00:31:20
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:31:21
Nacc
Well, look, he's got to beat his projections at least, right?
00:31:23
Roger Emeka
yeah yeah for sure yeah
00:31:24
Fabio
Yeah.
00:31:25
Roger Emeka
yeah yeah yeah for sure ah Speaking of teams that are far too often on prime time, Nack, who is your second hate?
00:31:34
Nacc
Yeah, my second hate for week 11 is gonna be Rico Dowdle. ah versus the Texans on Monday Night Football. So with Cooper Rush now under center and Dak being confirmed out for the year after hamstring surgery, it's going to be really trusted ah to it's going to be really hard to trust excuse me any skill positions, so similar to what happened with the Dolphins. um He was off to a good start last week, but GameScript forced him to abandon the run and
00:32:05
Nacc
while they were being blown out, so it could be a similar story here in week 11. He gets a Texans D that's giving up the third fewest points to running backs and limited Montgomery and Gibbs to 24 total points last week. um Unless he gets a lot of catches, I see him struggling again in week 11.
00:32:26
Roger Emeka
Yeah, it's an audition for Dowdle for next year for the Cowboys, because I think think they're going to be looking for either running back help at the draft or in free agency, for sure.
00:32:27
Nacc
Tough to trust, tough to trust.
00:32:28
Fabio
Yeah.
00:32:39
Nacc
Oh, they're not going to not going to resign Zeke.
00:32:45
Roger Emeka
That's a good one. Fab, who do you have as your first hate?
00:32:50
Fabio
Darnell Mooney at Denver. He's actually a wide receiver eight on the season, Darnell Mooney.
00:32:55
Nacc
What?
00:32:55
Fabio
So props to him, man.
00:32:56
Roger Emeka
It's nuts.
00:32:57
Fabio
He's been, he's been showing up and showing out this year.
00:32:59
Nacc
Just like we all drew it up.
00:33:01
Fabio
Exactly. Mooney has put up at least 15 fastie points in the last three games, but those were against some pretty weak defenses in New Orleans, Dallas, Tampa, for example. ah Mooney and the Falcons face the Broncos in Denver. Broncos give up the four fewest fastie points to wide receivers, have surrendered only six passing touchdowns to wide receivers all season, two of which came from Zae Flowers a few weeks ago, thanks to the aforementioned Lamar Jackson.
00:33:28
Fabio
And they also give up the fourth fuuse fourth fewest points per game at just under 18 points a game at 17.7. Mooney has been lined up roughly 45 to 55 slot versus outside. But I don't really think that matters. Denver have one of the most complete secondaries in the NFL right now. And this will most likely translate into a poor showing for Mooney. He's a wide receiver three for me this week.
00:33:54
Roger Emeka
Yeah, Sertain has been amazing and the other guy Cooper
00:33:58
Fabio
It's the, the entire secondary are rated very highly on PFF. I forget their names off the top of my head, but i while I was doing research today. I was like, they're, they're all, even the, the safeties are playing well. The other outside corner is playing pretty well too. Um, they're, they're tough to play against from a defensive standpoint.
00:34:13
Roger Emeka
What's the name of the white corner? You've been really good. I called him Cooper Riley last last week. Anyways, it doesn't matter. Agreed with you.
00:34:21
Fabio
So whitewashing.
00:34:21
Roger Emeka
Who's your second, huh?
00:34:23
Fabio
So this is the whitewashing.
00:34:24
Roger Emeka
Huh?
00:34:30
Fabio
Well, my second we're we're just gonna, we're just gonna jump into the next one.
00:34:30
Roger Emeka
go Go ahead with your second hate while we're that while we're there.
00:34:34
Fabio
Is that it? there' that
00:34:35
Roger Emeka
Yeah, exactly. That's a good segue. I'm trying my best to to to have as many segues as possible.
00:34:39
Fabio
Yeah, as well.
00:34:40
Roger Emeka
Go for it, Fab.
00:34:40
Fabio
the Yeah. The next one doesn't make sense.
00:34:41
Nacc
It's Riley Moss.
00:34:42
Fabio
He's, he's a rally moss.
00:34:43
Roger Emeka
receive That, yeah, yeah.
00:34:44
Fabio
Yes.
00:34:45
Roger Emeka
Riley Mars, Cooper Riley is same-ish.
00:34:47
Fabio
Uh, my second, my second eight for the week is, uh, Brock Bowers, uh, visiting Miami. Uh, so going into the bye week, Brock has put up five straight outings at double-digit fantasy points, but he faces a very tough Miami defense. They're giving up the eighth fewest fantasy points, two tight ends. In fact, all season, they've surrendered only one passing touchdown, two tight ends. And apart from, uh, Trey McBride in week eight, they've held the opposing tight ends to 60 receiving yards or less. Miami are also giving up the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks.
00:35:17
Fabio
So if it's a tough day at the office for mint shoe mania, I expect even lower than usual fantasy day for Brock too. He's low on tight end one for me this week. Might even finish outside the top off.
00:35:30
Nacc
Makes sense.
00:35:30
Roger Emeka
Bold one.
00:35:30
Fabio
I mean, if your quarterback is struggling, your tight end ain't going to get the ball, right?
00:35:31
Roger Emeka
Bold.
00:35:33
Fabio
So.
00:35:33
Nacc
It definitely is a bold one.
00:35:34
Roger Emeka
That's a bold one for sure. My first hate is James Cook versus the Chiefs. James Cook, I think a three-time appearance on Love Hate for us. This is an easy one though, guys.
00:35:46
Roger Emeka
The the Chiefs are allowing 14 fantasy points per game to running backs, which is the fewest in the league. Only Jordan Mason and Audrey Estemy have gone over 50 yards rushing against Chiefs run defense.
00:35:58
Roger Emeka
Those same running backs are averaging two catches and 12 yards per game. So even from a PPR perspective, I don't expect much. Last year, Cook had 10 carries for 58 yards and five catches for 58 receiving yards in the week 13 game against the Chiefs, but they have been way more stout against past catching backs in 2024. So for me, James Cook is an obvious fade in in many, in many leagues.
00:36:26
Nacc
I think I and probably see a um probably see him. That's where he's probably going to get most of his points is catching again, especially missing their two wide receivers.
00:36:33
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:36:35
Nacc
He might get involved more as a pass catcher, but yeah, if they stifle him, yeah, it's the rushing upside is definitely not there.
00:36:37
Fabio
Yeah.
00:36:44
Roger Emeka
This could be a Ray Davis game too.
00:36:46
Nacc
Yeah, easily.
00:36:46
Roger Emeka
Like that physical front might be more suited for someone like Ray Davis and obviously Josh Hallen for sure. ah My second hate is Austin Echler at the Eagles on Thursday Night Football. Echler has standalone value as a flex player, even if Bryan Robinson Jr. plays due to his receiving ability. However, the Eagles are allowing 16.8 fantasy points per game to running backs this season, the second fewest in the league. And in the last four games, that number is at 11.8, which is the top defensive mark in the league against running backs.
00:37:23
Roger Emeka
PPR, Stallworths, Chase Brown, Tyrone Tracy, and Travis Etienne Jr. each had two, two, and three catches respectively for two, nine, and six yards over the course of three of the last four games.
00:37:36
Roger Emeka
This eagle Eagles defense is back to being the dominant unit we are used to, and Ekler is a sit regardless of Brian Robinson Jr.'s availability.
00:37:37
Nacc
She's.
00:37:48
Nacc
Makes sense to me.
00:37:48
Roger Emeka
Good match up on Thursday football. I think we've been lucky.
00:37:52
Fabio
Yeah, another night there's in a football game.
00:37:52
Nacc
Yeah, this is going to be fun.
00:37:53
Roger Emeka
This is going to be really, really fun.
00:37:53
Nacc
That's for sure going to be fun, for sure, for sure.
00:37:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:37:55
Roger Emeka
Yeah, really fun.
00:37:56
Nacc
See, I'll just see if Jane and dinos can rebound after only scoring eight point five eight points last week.
00:37:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:38:04
Roger Emeka
ah We have a bit of time actually, so we're going to take some listener questions from some of our followers. um Trading Away, so a Clip Point Snapper on tikno TikTok.
00:38:17
Roger Emeka
Trading Away, Swift, Chuba, and DeHop for Aaron Jones and Tyreek. What are your thoughts, guys?
00:38:23
Nacc
No. Why would you do that?
00:38:26
Fabio
No, I know. And I love Aaron Jones, but no, no.
00:38:29
Nacc
No chance. Chuba Hubbard has has been like amazing.
00:38:33
Fabio
Yeah.
00:38:33
Nacc
Like beyond amazing.
00:38:35
Fabio
Like, I don't really care for Swift to be honest with you, but Chuba and D hop are obviously on the rise. Aaron Jones to Tyreek is not. So for that reason, I would not make this trade.
00:38:45
Nacc
You're just paying for names here, I think.
00:38:46
Roger Emeka
it's
00:38:47
Fabio
Yeah. Well, you paint for Tyreek, I think.
00:38:49
Nacc
Yeah, but Tyreek has been awful.
00:38:51
Fabio
I agree.
00:38:51
Roger Emeka
Yeah, so Clip Snapper, if you're listening or when when you're listening or when we clip this out for you, try to see if you could remove Chuba or replace him with a lesser player.
00:38:51
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:02
Roger Emeka
And I think that that makes it more fair for you.
00:39:06
Fabio
Yeah, I would.
00:39:06
Nacc
Because even Dehops have been outperforming Tyreek, right?
00:39:09
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:10
Roger Emeka
I think I'd still rather have, I'd rather have like if you do Swift, D hop for Aaron Jones and Tyreke, but clearly Aaron Jones and Tyreke is the better side. Like I think rest of season Tyreke is still higher than D hop.
00:39:23
Nacc
i just you know what it You know what scares me with that? It's just Aaron Jones, man. He's just always injured. There's always something that happens. And when is it going to be that week where he's like, oh, OK, well, he's now gone for a few games.
00:39:34
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:39:34
Nacc
just worries me I think Chuba has that like he's really got a floor there like I don't know if you guys looked at his last like four four weeks outings it's over over 20 points in all of those games
00:39:36
Fabio
Yep.
00:39:43
Roger Emeka
He's been fantastic.
00:39:47
Fabio
No, I think, I think we're all in agreement that I would not be, we will not be trading true, but in this scenario here, if it is a swift and D hop for Aaron Joseph Tyreke, it becomes interesting.
00:39:48
Roger Emeka
yeah his
00:39:52
Roger Emeka
Agreed.
00:39:56
Roger Emeka
Yep.
00:39:57
Fabio
But then again, I dunno, I still wouldn't do it.
00:40:00
Roger Emeka
Oh, wow.
00:40:00
Fabio
I still wouldn't feel comfortable with it to be honest with you. I think the hop has a very high floor and a very high ceiling for the rest of the season. Plus he plays on a better offense than Tyreke too.
00:40:07
Roger Emeka
Interesting.
00:40:08
Fabio
So that.
00:40:10
Nacc
hu Hubbard has has double digit points in every game except for week one and eight.
00:40:18
Nacc
Maybe he gets pushed out a little bit from Brooks, but they just signed him to ah an actual pretty good deal and man, he's been running.
00:40:22
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:40:23
Fabio
Nah, dude, Chubba in the fantasy playoffs, when you need him the most, it's he's playing against Dallas, Arizona, Tampa Bay, all top 10 top eight, actually, fantasy point defenses for running backs.
00:40:27
Nacc
Really well.
00:40:34
Nacc
Yeah.
00:40:40
Nacc
giving up the most. Yeah.
00:40:41
Fabio
So no,
00:40:42
Nacc
Yeah. He's got a really good fantasies, the playoff schedule.
00:40:46
Fabio
if you could trade for Chubba, do it, especially as on by this week, you might get lucky, but apart from that,
00:40:50
Roger Emeka
No chance. Yeah. Second question we have is from Cam Thomas underscore 24 also on TikTok. With Kyler on by, do I start Drake May or pick up Herbert off waivers and start him?
00:41:06
Nacc
Well, I think Fab can answer that one.
00:41:08
Fabio
Oh, you definitely pick up Herberalf waivers and you start them. A hundred percent. And I like Drake may a lot, but Herbert's been flying right now, man. You can't, you kind of discount that whatsoever at all.
00:41:16
Nacc
How is Herbert on waivers?
00:41:18
Roger Emeka
these One QB leagues, man.
00:41:18
Fabio
It must be a one QB league, I suppose.
00:41:20
Nacc
Still.
00:41:21
Fabio
Yeah.
00:41:22
Nacc
He's been he's been top five the last four weeks.
00:41:24
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:41:24
Nacc
We just spoke about it.
00:41:25
Fabio
Yeah.
00:41:26
Nacc
Seeing him on waivers is shocking.
00:41:28
Fabio
Yeah. Cam, ah if those guys are available to play in the league next year, we could pull one together.
00:41:36
Fabio
playing with some slouches over there. Yeah, I know. Definitely pick up Herbert like non starter for me.
00:41:40
Nacc
Who's who's New England playing?
00:41:43
Fabio
New England is playing. Give me a second.
00:41:49
Nacc
Just go to Raj's team here.
00:41:50
Fabio
They're playing the Rams.
00:41:55
Nacc
I think the Rams have to bounce back.
00:41:58
Fabio
Yeah, they're playing.
00:41:59
Nacc
I still like i still like Herbert's matchup better.
00:42:00
Roger Emeka
that's herber it's eat's easy herbert it's
00:42:01
Fabio
Yeah.
00:42:02
Nacc
I think it's yeah it's a very easy call there, in my opinion as well.
00:42:02
Fabio
Yeah.
00:42:03
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:42:09
