Podcast Kickoff and Week One Recap
00:00:25
dtmr
Well, come in to the and NSFW Dynasty Podcast. We are back. I am your host Dave Reed, joined by my co-host Ryan Wilkinson and Joey Gallo, week one, baby, in the books. How you guys feeling?
00:00:40
Joey
Week one in the books coming to you guys on a Friday night, excited about the weekend. We already have a game behind us in week two, excited to talk football.
00:00:53
Ryan
Yeah, a little later in the week than usual, but it's not a bad thing. A lot of football to talk about and it's the weekend.
00:01:00
dtmr
That's right. I know getting Thursday night game in, uh, it's like cheating a little bit. We have a little bit more data to be playing off of than we typically after week one, but, uh, all good things. Definitely an interesting game last night. I'm sure we'll be getting into it. Uh, I'll be going through the injury round up. Unfortunately, there was a pretty big one there, but how are you guys feeling after week one? How'd you guys, uh, how did you spend your first week of football viewing?
00:01:23
Joey
Yeah, so I was in Cincinnati for a bachelor party, attended Bengals Patriots. It was... ah A tough game for the home crowd. ah It was a tough game for all of us who were rooting for the home team and had many of our wagers on the home team players. um But great experience. it's ah It's a great tailgating environment outside of, I'm going to call it Paul Brown Stadium, even though it's technically Paycor Stadium now. It will always be Paul Brown Stadium.
00:01:57
Joey
Uh, you know, like, I mean, there's people out there tailgating, but there's like a stretch of bars that are in between the great American ballpark and, uh, Paul Brown.
00:02:04
dtmr
Thank you.
00:02:06
Joey
That, and then there's like open carry in the street. So you're kind of just like, it's like, just like a big street. There's music playing and people are outside drinking and it's a, it's a good, it's a good vibe. So the pregame was great and the game itself was fun.
00:02:21
Joey
And, uh, yeah, I'm sure we'll talk about it because the Bengals. I'd stink. But yeah, it was it was a nice it was a nice week one. Aside from that, ah the Vets went pretty well. Fantasy went decently well.
00:02:33
Joey
Not this league, unfortunately. But, um you know, it it was a good week one.
00:02:37
Ryan
yeah Yeah, I didn't have as good of a a weekend as Joe.
00:02:38
Joey
Can't complain.
00:02:42
Ryan
I was watching from home, but I did watch most of the bengal cardinals er ah Bill's Cardinals game, which had a lot of fantasy implications for Joe and I's matchup.
00:02:52
Ryan
So it was ah was a good week one in terms of fantasy.
00:02:57
dtmr
Yeah, I had a pretty good week in fantasy as well, solid in bets as well. Just washed it all from home.
Injury Impact on Fantasy Football
00:03:03
dtmr
But I will say, side note, any city that has like the open carry rules in anywhere, it's like the best.
00:03:08
dtmr
It's like it's always a great time. I don't know why they can't figure out more places to do that.
00:03:10
Joey
yeah
00:03:12
dtmr
And so it's a good way to get that community together.
00:03:16
Joey
Yeah, you know, like it's the vibe outside like MetLife or one of these stadiums where it's like a true traditional tailgating situation is very unique and unmatched. But it's also nice to know that you don't have to have a ah tailgate lined up and you can just go there and walk right up to the party.
00:03:29
dtmr
Yep.
00:03:32
dtmr
That's awesome. Yeah, well, jumping into it, there were some downsides on the week one and a little bit last night too, as I aforementioned. There were some injuries that we got to deal with and that's part of the game. So just gonna run through some of them real quick, some of the big ones. At quarterback, Jordan Love looked real bad initially, but it turned out to just be an MCL sprain. He's gonna avoid the IR, but it could be about three weeks that he's out.
00:03:57
dtmr
Uh, Russell Wilson, he missed week one with a calf issue and he's actually, it looks like he's going to miss week two as well. So Justin Fields is getting the start last week and he's going to start again this week. And last night on Thursday night football to have got another concussion. Scary. You don't even care about football anymore for this guy. You just want to make sure that like he's making the best choice for himself and his family. but Definitely going to be out quite some time for that team and a lot of ramification ramifications there. At running back, CMC missed week one. He was doubtful leading him to this pod for week two. He's now definitely missing week two and actually might go on on the IR with an Achilles tendonitis.
00:04:36
dtmr
So Jordan Mason stepping up, but that is something that is just breaking down and is just rooting with tons of teams up in diamond seed and redraft. Raheem Mostert before the game last night, he was actually ruled out with a chest. HN had an ankle injury, but ended up playing, it was game time decision and had more touches than he's ever had in his career. But Jeff Wilson in the game also got hurt. So right now you're only looking at HN and Jalen Wright for the Dolphins.
00:05:03
dtmr
Um, and then Kenneth Walker has an abdomen issue and he's, looks like he's doubtful for this week. So something to monitor there at wide receiver, Puca, Nakua had a PCL spray and he was dealing with this in the off season. He re-aggravated, he hit the IR and he may miss even more than just the four games, uh, required by the IR. Jordan Asina actually been ruled out for week two with his ankle, key down.
00:05:26
dtmr
and Romadunze are both looking probably unlikely for this week. He now I think is undisclosed but he's questionable and Romadunze has an MCL sprayed. So something to keep an eye on there for a exciting rookie. Marquise Hollywood Brown.
00:05:41
dtmr
this It seemed like he was going to be coming back this week and then all of a sudden he just had surgery and he's on IR and it's sounding like um for Matthew Betts, who does a lot of the injury work for the tennis football, says it's going to be like a 12-week recovery.
00:05:54
dtmr
So he actually just met the guy for your fantasy season.
00:05:55
Joey
Yeah, pro football doc too.
00:05:57
dtmr
Yeah, so that's that's pretty good. that i do yeah They didn't like talk about it in any other tweets except these other medical guys are like, yeah, that's like not a small surgery.
00:05:59
Joey
No bueno.
00:06:05
dtmr
So he's potentially done for the year, at least for fantasy. Josh Downs has in high-income sprain this week one, but might be back this week. T Higgins, hamstring, because that's what T Higgins does.
00:06:17
dtmr
He missed week one, probably missed week two. We'll see how that goes.
Quarterback Performance and Potential
00:06:20
dtmr
DeAndre Hopkins is playing but he has like a deal with MCL tear and playing still so don't really know how that's gonna go and then a tight end you got David and joko Who has an ankle sprain already been rolled out for week two Jake Ferguson is like the weirdest thing to me first of all sleeper told us a hundred times He was questionable. It looked like he may have tore his ACL turned out to just be an MCL sprain and bone bruise and Thought he was going to miss time. Now he actually might play this week. So he's still questionable, but you got to keep an eye on that. But it's very strange that he went from potentially missing the season to potentially playing this week. But which of these injuries to you guys that are standing out or do you think have the biggest impacts for the team? Any potential adjacent players that are on those teams that rely on them? Which ones stand out to you?
00:07:04
Ryan
Yeah, I mean my take on Jordan Love vaulting into the top five Dynasty QBs is off to a rough start, ah but hopefully he does come back. It was nice to see that he's not going to go on the IR and could potentially be back in three weeks. I feel like there's been a lot of just sort of up in the air, unexpected injuries though, like CMC was going to play week one. Now all of a sudden he might go on IR.
00:07:26
Ryan
You know, he mentioned Hollywood Brown. He was same thing, seemed like he was going to play and now all of a sudden he's on IR and ah definitely some big names, you know, obviously to ah last night, huge implications, not just for fantasy, but for that team in general.
00:07:38
dtmr
Mm.
00:07:40
Ryan
So a lot of big injuries already after week one, it's kind of crazy.
00:07:47
Joey
Yeah, you know, um from a quarterback standpoint, Rust sticks out to me. um We did kind of Dynasty risers and fallers in a recent podcast episode. And I had the thought of throwing out Justin Fields and eventually was to too much of a coward to do it. And I threw out Christian Watson instead. And I regret it because, frankly, Justin Fields, while he's never going to be. It seems a great real life quarterback. He is a solid fantasy quarterback and right now he's got.
00:08:25
Joey
great opportunity. If they win again this week, do they go back to Russ? This is like just the opportunity that he needed. And I feel like his you could have probably gotten him in the off season for pennies on the dollar, even in a super flex. And you know you could you could end up having a league winner if he ends up holding the starting job all season. So um at the wide receiver position,
00:08:53
Joey
Just a shout out to Jordan Addison for having a high ankle sprain on both ankles at the exact same time, and all of my time following football. I don't know that I can recall a situation where this has ever happened, but he had a high ankle sprain that he was still recovering from, and then he high ankle sprained the other ankle, so.
Rookie Analysis: Quarterbacks and Wide Receivers
00:09:10
Joey
um And then Hollywood, just a sigh, you know in the off season, obviously everyone listening to this podcast knows I traded Stafford for Hollywood.
00:09:21
Joey
um and the original offer was ah Josh Downs first effort and I poo-pooed on that one insisted on Hollywood we would and You know ever since then I just have regretted it. You know the hype train for Josh Downs has picked up a little and The ah offense looks good and you know once he's back out there Hopefully this week I get the feeling that he's gonna be the one catching some of those bombs from Anthony Richardson so a little bit of buyers remorse there for me personally, but You can't win them all
00:09:56
dtmr
can still go get him, who has him?
00:09:56
Joey
So you got to take your else when they're presented in front of you.
00:10:01
dtmr
Yeah,
00:10:02
Joey
And this is looking like it's going to be a no.
00:10:05
dtmr
yeah I mean, it's hard to predict injuries to like, you make the trade, you can't predict the injury and hope it happens, it's just bad luck, you make a bad move, it's just unfortunate.
00:10:10
Joey
yeah Yeah. Yeah. You win some and you lose them.
00:10:16
dtmr
Yeah, I mean, the quarterbacks have big implications too obviously, Skyler Thompson cannot be the answer, like, the The team will just not run, like the wide receivers like Waddle.
00:10:29
dtmr
I don't really know if you can use Waddle until you get like a real, you can't start them.
00:10:32
Ryan
You can't start them if if that's the quarterback now.
00:10:35
Joey
You could barely start Waddle until it was out there. For being honest, it was not a good start to the season for Waddle.
00:10:37
Ryan
Yeah.
00:10:37
dtmr
Yeah. At all.
00:10:40
Ryan
No.
00:10:40
dtmr
Yeah, it wasn't a great finish either last year.
00:10:42
Joey
here
00:10:43
dtmr
And Tyreek, you'll still be fine because he has the game breaking ability, but you got to kind of lower your expectations a bit unless you, until they get someone who can throw the ball downfield a bit more.
00:10:44
Joey
yeah
00:10:54
dtmr
scholar is not doing that at all. So that that one has like the, I think the widest impact on like top tier talent. So that one definitely sticks out to me. Hookah is interesting just because it's It raises a lot of other people's value where like two would go down and lowers a ton of people's value. Pukka leaving and we want to go back. But Cooper is, looks like wider super one every weekend. Like he's old, but like if you're a dynasty and you, like that's, you still need to win now. And like, that's a huge asset. And then you get Demarcus Robinson and, uh, uh, who's Tyler Johnson as well, Joey's favorite player.
00:11:35
dtmr
that like These guys are fantasy relevant. like If you're in a deep legal, I guess, with three flexes on top of two wide receivers and runbacks, those are usable assets now that like you may not have had before.
00:11:45
Ryan
I mean, Cooper Cup got 21 targets, but that's literally insane.
00:11:48
dtmr
ah
00:11:50
Ryan
So yeah, Cooper Cup I think is the biggest beneficiary there. He's a clear wide receiver one now.
00:11:57
dtmr
yeah
00:11:58
Joey
Yeah, and although we don't mention it here because they're not position guys, it is worth mentioning that. Yeah, the Rams had like four injuries to their starting offensive line, so I will be curious to see. I don't know that it'll matter this week because Arizona's defense is not good at all and they don't get much of it. Didn't get much of a pass rush last week. I doubt they're going to get much of a pass rush this week, but we'll see. I mean, frankly, if Arizona is in Matt Stafford's shorts the entire game, then I think that'll mean.
00:12:26
Joey
Not so great things for the team as long as they are without, again, literally four offensive line starters.
00:12:35
dtmr
It was crazy because they it all happened in the game basically like every play another guy dropped.
00:12:38
Joey
Yeah.
00:12:40
dtmr
I've never seen anything like it But that was uh, some of the injuries that you got to be taken care of but also going into the season It's the first time we got a real glimpse of ah rookies in real live action So Ryan, why don't you why don't you take it away with ah our new segment?
00:12:41
Joey
Yep.
00:12:56
Ryan
Yeah, so we're going to do a little something I'm calling Ryan's Rookie Roundup here, where we're just going to go through all the rookies that were picked at the top of our rookie draft. And I just want to kind of get your guys' gut take on, you know, would you still pick them where they went? Are you a little more nervous than you were ah before we saw them week one? And just kind of how you're feeling. I feel like it was a bit of an up and down week one for a lot of the rookies. so We'll start at the top. Pick number one was Caleb Williams. Completed 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards. Somehow the Bears did still win the game. He did also run five times for 15 yards. But gut check there. You still 100% taking him. Pick number one overall on a rookie drafter. Are you a little more worried than you would have been?
00:13:46
Joey
I would probably still take him one in a super flex, um partially because we have the the slightest drought of a doubt about Marvin Harrison after he stunk it up week one as well.
00:14:00
dtmr
Yes.
00:14:02
Ryan
Yeah.
00:14:02
Joey
That's really the biggest factor.
00:14:03
Joey
But for Caleb, you know, like So when when Patrick Mahomes was being scouted coming out of Texas Tech, it was like he his outside the pocket abilities similar to Caleb's were never in question. um And it was more so would he be able to be a ah productive NFL pocket passer. And it turns out he's one of the best of all time at throwing from the pocket. So obviously things worked out.
00:14:34
Joey
Caleb, I think the the verdict is still very, very clearly out on whether or not he can throw from the pocket. And a lot of the highlights that he had in the preseason were outside the pocket against second and third string defense. So i'm not I'm not especially concerned. It was his first start. ah But you know I think that moving forward, I'll be looking intently to see if he can demonstrate that he can make make passes from the pocket.
00:15:04
dtmr
Yeah, I'm, I'm still taking them, but they're, I'm definitely keeping an eye on it to show his point. Cause even with the preseason, the one thing you did see too outside of the make crazy highlights you saw, he actually was not very good in preseason. He had a, uh, and it just kind of carried over. He's playing that like backyard football. So.
00:15:21
dtmr
He has to change how he plays the game basically in NFL, but it's again. It's really scary He's crazy talented you see it there and You just got to kind of change how we abuse the game and decision-making which I think is the easier thing to change so I'd still probably take him but There's definitely a slight a touch more concern that I would have four months ago where I thought it was slime dunk
00:15:44
Ryan
Yeah, I agree. I think Super Flex, he still goes number one. And I think to Joe's point, we're going to talk about pick number two here. If Marvin Harrison Jr. had had an insane game, you'd maybe be questioning it a little more. But, Marvin Harrison Jr. caught one of three targets for four yards in his opener. And I was watching that game, it was wide open on his first target, hit him right in the hands, and he dropped it.
00:16:09
Ryan
Maybe some first game jitters. He was also wide open at the end of the game and Murray actually didn't see him. If he had, it would have been a ah deep touchdown. So there's definitely some value there and you assume it's going to turn around. But how are we feeling about him after week one?
00:16:25
dtmr
I'm definitely more concerned. There's like, honestly, I may go to neighbors over Margaret Harrison at this point, uh, just cause it, it wasn't just that a stat line was bad. You know, we had like three targets, uh, his, his target chair amongst the rookies, one of the lowest that you've ever seen of any one traffic that high. the And usually if you just went four overall, the team is going to force feed you the ball, but also he didn't like look very good. Again, some of it may be that he wasn't comfortable yet or he was a little unsettled. So I'm not making.
00:16:55
dtmr
pure judgment on it, but when you've seen the whole jumpy for neighbors, and I'm sure we'll get into neighbors in the next talk, all offseason, and then you see how explosive and that he's just constantly open, starts making me think that like maybe neighbors at the NFL level could potentially be a ah higher upside pick that I would, granted, worse offense, I'm sure we'll touch upon it too, but like just as a pure talent, neighbors might be a potential better wide receiver than Harrison at the NFL level. but I'm still not making too many judgments. I still think he's fine at pick two. I just, I wouldn't fault anyone going neighbors over him. That's kind of where I'm at now.
00:17:33
Joey
Yeah, I'm willing to just crumple it up and toss it in the bin. I think that it's I'm willing to at least for one game, give him a pass.
00:17:48
Joey
ah I think it's a little bit tough to come in with such high expectations and to like, you don't, you're not immune to hearing this like, you know, bust proof dialogue in the media from a, from a football NFL perspective, from a fantasy perspective.
00:18:06
Joey
He hears that stuff. um There's, there's some weird like quotes coming out of the team where Kyler's like, it's not my job to get him the ball. It kind of is your job to get him in the ball.
00:18:15
dtmr
That's clearly the only job he has.
00:18:15
Ryan
me Yeah.
00:18:16
Joey
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:18
dtmr
Who else is getting him the ball?
00:18:19
Joey
Yeah, I. um He had a drop on his first pass. He's not a guy who's known for drops. I don't think that all of a sudden he just acquired the drops from getting so my my take is I'm.
00:18:35
Joey
You know. We'll talk later in the gambling section about over unders. There's a lot of juice on his over four and a half receptions this week, and it might honestly be juice that I'm willing to drink because I do think they're going to get him the ball. And um I think he'll have a big week, and this will be the last time we we have concerns about him.
00:18:57
dtmr
I hope so, because if he has a bad week too. there Then you start getting the turn again. But the only thing, I know we're moving through this quick, but Marvin Harrison, like did you guys get a lot, like I felt like I didn't get a lot of highlights out of him in the preseason, where like other wide receivers, I got him all the time. I don't know and don't know why the cards just don't seem to be pumping up their rookie, because the highlights are coming from the team. i just I felt like they were not pushing it forward. It's just weird to me. I don't really get what's going on in Arizona.
00:19:23
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, you don't draft a guy that high to give him three targets a game, so I think we gotta see these next couple games. You know, if it doesn't turn around soon in here, I'm sure people will be pushing the panic button, but yeah, it's one game.
00:19:37
Ryan
He's a rookie.
00:19:37
Joey
Yeah, and what we heard and for out of camp, although it wasn't like highlights from preseason was all like, super, super like gushing positivity, like he's basically like a veteran presence in the locker room already, and he looks great, and his fundamentals are unbelievable.
00:19:52
Joey
And so yeah, I'm still I'm still in I think if you can, I think if you can buy low in a redraft, I think that I think now is a pretty decent opportunity to try to do that.
00:20:03
dtmr
ye
00:20:03
Joey
But like, you know,
00:20:06
Ryan
Yeah.
00:20:07
Joey
Like if you could trade Malik neighbors and redraft for Marvin Harrison, I think that's a decent look because I think that Arizona's ah offense is going to be significantly better. And um you know the rising tide raises all ships, I guess is what they say.
Trading and Player Value Discussion
00:20:23
Joey
But yeah, just ah yeah i i still would I still would rather have Harrison than neighbors, specifically in redraft, but I think in dynasty also.
00:20:34
Ryan
Yeah, well, neighbors was picked three. He caught five passes for 66 yards. Problem with him is obviously that he's tied to Daniel Jones for now, who you know stinks.
00:20:45
Ryan
And I know we have some Giants fans on here. So ah you know Dave, you mentioned it a little bit that maybe you'd consider him over Harrison Junior now.
00:20:49
dtmr
we've yeah
00:20:54
Ryan
But what do what you think of him?
00:20:55
dtmr
You're hear a lot of neighbors on this pod just as like a heads up.
00:20:57
Ryan
Yeah.
00:20:58
dtmr
There's a lot of segments where he pops up again. I'm all in on neighbors. I think he's going to be an absolute star. Honestly, if you put neighbors on the Cardinals, forget about it.
00:21:10
dtmr
This guy is like dominating. So the only thing holding him back is a quarterback. This guy is unbelievable. Um, and like everyone, literally, I don't think there's ever been anyone who said anything less than this guy is like another like level of athlete. Like he's just insane. So, uh, yeah, I, I'm excited for him. I think like at three, that is his floor for me as a pick. I would not let him go beyond that.
00:21:34
Joey
Yeah, no, I agree. He looked awesome. We'll be on his receiving ah this week.
00:21:40
dtmr
Yes.
00:21:41
Joey
was Was heavy on his receiving last week. It was my biggest bet of the week. Me and Canelo's from the old natty, played a hammer on him and it came through. And yeah, we'll be going back to the well this week against the terrible commanders.
00:21:55
dtmr
that's right
00:21:56
Ryan
I'm sure we'll hear a lot about neighbors on this podcast.
00:21:58
dtmr
okay
00:21:59
Ryan
and But pick four, Jaden Daniels, 17 of 24 passing attempts, 184 yards. He did rush the ball 16 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns.
00:22:10
Ryan
ah The team lost almost reminded me a little bit of Justin Fields, who you know didn't look that great as a passer, but obviously from a fantasy perspective, just an insane rushing upside.
00:22:20
dtmr
That's right.
00:22:22
Ryan
I worry that he's more of a rushing threat than a real NFL QB like we've seen with fields and we've seen that sometimes those guys don't last too long. Joe obviously you know curious to hear what your thoughts are on him.
00:22:36
Joey
I liked how he looked. I love the usage. I love that he ran for two touchdowns. I hated the commentary from the coaching staff after the game. ah they It sounded like ah there was a quote that was like, yeah, we'd love to see him hang in the pocket.
00:22:54
Joey
longer and be more of a pocket passer. I think they I think they were. I don't say displeased, but didn't necessarily love that he took off as quickly as he did, and I don't know if it's because they view this year as like a redshirt year for him in terms of like the team stocks are not doing anything, so they don't want to see him run as much because it's not worth it for him to get injured.
00:23:14
Joey
You know. Diving headfirst for a win when you're two and nine, but.
00:23:15
Ryan
yeah Yeah, it wasn't bad.
00:23:19
Joey
You know, I think like you said, right, like the value he's going to bring for fantasy is with his legs. The passing was alright too. um um'm excited to I'm excited to see what he does this week against the Giants defense because the Giants defense is also not good and you know if he looks good from the pocket and he throws for a touchdown or two that would be encouraging.
00:23:41
dtmr
Yeah, I mean, for fantasy, he's a star. Like, this is what you're drafting for the rushing upsides of cheat code. I haven't been redrafting. I'm very, very excited about it. His passing could have definitely been better. Like, Terry McCormick did nothing. But he's known for his deep ball. So I feel like they'll get it together. The ah coach commentary that I i feel like comes to where it came from is that Once he decided to move out of pocket, he was not looking down at me. He was just running. And that's the only thing. You want to at least keep your head up so the defense thinks that you're going to throw, and then something's going to open up. He is literally only running. And that is something you just got to change. So I think if you change that standard, you can run when it's there. But he would go, and the quick is like, nah, I'm just going to my feet. That's not a winning formula long term, typically. But for fantasy, slam dunk guys right here.
00:24:31
Ryan
Yeah, now I know for fantasy it looked unreal, so we'll see how that plays out. Pick 5 in our draft was actually Brock Bowers. He caught 6 balls on 8 targets for 58 yards. He did lead the Raiders in both targets and receptions. You know, not not too crazy of a game, but 8 targets, obviously really good to see from week 1. Are you still taking him at pick 5 though?
00:24:55
Joey
Yeah.
00:24:55
dtmr
I
00:24:58
Ryan
Yeah.
00:25:07
Ryan
They love the team.
00:25:09
dtmr
And like you heard this in the off season and he's just, he is different. He looks like he is one of the next elite tight ends out there. So I know it was a potentially risky pick and it's Minshu and the Raiders and whatever, but he looks legit.
00:25:22
dtmr
So I'm in the time premium. I'm okay with think this pick actually. he had more targets than Devonta Adams like he.
00:25:26
Joey
Yeah, no, I don't disagree. I was in retrospect, right? Like we talked about um ah in the moment, and this is why dynasty and fantasy football in general is so crazy. Like, you know, getting Odunze at Pick 7 for me was value, and I was excited about it. But, you know, Odunze obviously has a little bit of a ways to go. And ah Brock Bowers hit the ground running big time, week one. So while we probably,
00:25:57
Joey
gave the Clarks a little bit of shit for that um pick well at the time. ah It looks after one week.
00:26:06
dtmr
Yeah, and we.
00:26:07
Joey
Yeah, ah it it it looks like it it was a solid choice. So you in retrospect, yeah, you can.
00:26:13
Ryan
Yeah, eight targets. That's what I can ask for.
00:26:17
Joey
Yeah, solid, solid.
00:26:18
Ryan
um Pick six was JJ McCarthy. We'll obviously skip him for now, but yeah.
00:26:23
dtmr
I will say, though, obviously, pick six things, but the fact that Darnold looks as good with the weapons in that offense makes me feel more confident with what JJ McCarthy will look like next year, potentially. so
00:26:36
Ryan
Yeah.
00:26:36
Joey
Yeah, and he was throwing some dimes in the preseason, so.
00:26:38
dtmr
I have a ah rosier outlook for him than I did.
00:26:39
Ryan
Yeah.
00:26:42
Joey
If ah again, looking back. You could make the case for McCarthy over Dunsey here too and Superflex just based upon that one game, ah so.
00:26:50
dtmr
Yeah.
00:26:53
Ryan
Yeah. Well, pick seven. Obviously, it was Odunze. He caught only one of his four targets for 11 yards. He's tied to Caleb Williams, which was something we were all excited about.
00:27:03
Ryan
We obviously talked about Caleb Williams not having the best week one. you know How are we feeling about him and would you start him in week two?
00:27:11
dtmr
You know, empty place, first of all.
00:27:13
Ryan
If he plays and he's week to week, true.
00:27:13
Joey
Yeah. Yeah, um. If Keenan doesn't play, I would definitely and he and Odindze was active. I would definitely start him. I I I'm still excited and optimistic. It was one game and like I said earlier, like I'm still like. In on Caleb Williams. um I think that he is a great wide receiver and great wide receivers generally find a way to be productive so.
00:27:41
Joey
I'm I have it. You know I were talking about like would you still make the same pick at the time right pick seven? I took him. Pick 8 was Xavier worthy. That's probably the one that you would think there would be a little bit of a question, right? Do you take worthy here? Do you take a doomsday? I I'm still going to do and say if I have this pick.
00:27:59
dtmr
Yeah, I agree. I still make the pick here. It's one game going forward. You love the town. He's still, to me, the wide receiver three in this rookie class. I agree. Obviously, a small sample size. You expect as a to take a little bit long with him. You knew that when you were drafting him based on the team and the wide receiver room. but Um, I just hope that this injury thing is a one-off thing that he is okay with and doesn't affect him going forward. I don't have any reason to think it will, but, um, that to me is the only, if there was a concern, that would be it, but I'm still taking care.
00:28:33
Ryan
yeah and Pick 8, save you're worthy. I think this is a really interesting one. you know He's had a lot of hype and a lot of headlines after week one. He caught two of his three targets for 47 yards in a touchdown and added a 21 yard rushing touchdown. He only touched the ball three times ah but scored twice.
00:28:53
Ryan
I feel like he's being overhyped a little bit after that game just because he scored the two touchdowns. Again, he only touched the ball three times. Real curious to see how you guys feel though.
00:29:07
Joey
Yeah, I mean, I'll jump in. um
00:29:10
Joey
I don't know that he's the type of guy who needs to touch the ball a lot. And I think that's where his value or like the hype is coming from right now. like He's so effing fast, like fastest 40 time in in the combine history. And in that offense, I just feel like it's a Tyreek situation where you know if he gets the ball with a little space and a head of steam, whether it's a rush or a pass or what, it's going to be an explosive play.
00:29:34
Joey
so um Yeah, I mean, he there there were comps to like the Chiefs drafting McColl Hardman to replace Tyreke and like, oh, you know, but like he already in one game ah looks better than McColl Hardman ever looked in his whole career.
00:29:50
Joey
So I get the hype and the excitement and I definitely would choose him here if we could go back and do it again. So props to us, credit to us.
00:30:01
Joey
We're through eight picks and I don't know that we'd go back and really change any so.
00:30:05
dtmr
ah I think this group, like the next few wide receivers, I don't think that any, you could go wrong with the next grouping.
00:30:05
Joey
ah Yeah.
00:30:11
dtmr
I think they're all fine. I personally would probably take one other wide receiver before worthy, just on personal preference for someone who I think could be more of a target earner than worthy, which has more consistency worthy.
00:30:24
dtmr
Like I, I think where are these a little bit of fools going? Like I would trade them right now. Um, if I could based on the hype going forward.
00:30:31
Joey
even with Hollywood going to the IR.
00:30:33
dtmr
Yeah, I mean that definitely helps his his case. But I think his value is just so high because of the hype from preseason and he scored two touchdowns.
00:30:36
Ryan
That's how.
00:30:42
dtmr
But when you break it down, he had one was a rushing touchdown, which yes, he he's going to be used in that. And he had like a convoy of blockers that completely caught the de defense off guard. But to his credit, other players probably are not getting in there because they're not as fast as him.
00:30:55
dtmr
So it's not that he didn't do anything, but that that does help.
00:30:59
Joey
Number one ranked scoring defense from last year, too. so
00:31:02
dtmr
But that's not going to, that's not something that will happen every week. That's like a one-off when you catch the defense and the in an off position. But then for me, it's the receiving game, which he's a wide receiver. He wasn't.
00:31:13
dtmr
Involved at all really he had one catch for 12 yards and then the touchdown for 35 yards No, he wasn't covered from the line of scrimmage It wasn't that he was fast and no skills on there that the corner thought that he had safety help and just like Chipped him and let him go behind him and worthy just stood there and Mahomes is gonna see everyone open wide receiver So to me that touchdown had nothing to its skill and he wasn't getting targets anywhere else He had like I think one or other couple targets he got knocked down because he was going up against bigger guys. So I I'm still, I still have reservations about his ability as an actual wide receiver versus like a gadget player. But to your point, like when he is schemed in, it's typically for big plays. But I will get to him in a couple of takes, but I would personally go for a wide receiver at this day, who I think could be a true number one who is going to earn anywhere from like eight to 12 targets a game at some point.
00:32:07
Joey
Yeah, I think I know who that is.
00:32:08
Ryan
Yeah.
00:32:09
Joey
It's a guy tied to a dookie dookie quarterback.
00:32:09
Ryan
yeah
00:32:11
dtmr
Great. great
00:32:15
Ryan
Let me get there. Let me get there. um I will say I'm a little more on Dave's side on this. I feel like the hype is pretty crazy for a guy who only touched the ball three times. To joy's Joe's point, Hollywood Brown going down ah might change that. but
00:32:32
dtmr
Yeah.
00:32:33
Ryan
We'll see. ah Pick 9 was Drake May. We'll obviously reserve our thoughts on him for now with Brissette being named the starter. ah Seems like we may see him sooner rather than later anyways. Pick 10. I think this is where Dave was going here. Brian Thomas Jr.
00:32:50
dtmr
this is
00:32:52
Ryan
Yeah, caught all four of his targets for 47 yards in a touchdown. Lawrence only completed 12 passes in the game. ah there's that's That's a shout out for Joe.
00:33:00
Joey
There's the Dookie right there, baby.
00:33:01
dtmr
rock
00:33:04
Ryan
ah But Dave, why don't we start with you on this one?
00:33:07
dtmr
First of all, they were running plenty.
00:33:11
dtmr
I think Brian Thomas, Junior, like you were getting a lot of hype in the preseason. He was blown past defenders. And in this game, he was doing just that. He had ah an awesome, unbelievable touchdown.
00:33:21
dtmr
And it was an incredible throw by Lawrence. When he threw and where Thomas was at the time, like beautiful touch.
00:33:24
Joey
It was.
00:33:30
dtmr
So, and like he was, you already saw he is the one in this offense. And this is what this offense hasn't had. This is what they thought Ridley would hopefully be last year was, a true alpha number one who can get down and take the top off the defense. And I think Brian Thomas Jr. could end up being someone who's consistently getting E plus targets a game going forward. Obviously, he only started off getting four targets, but he he caught his targets, all of them. and And I think there's a lot more to come from this guy. So this is who I would take personally before worthy, because I think his ceiling is higher and this floor from a consistency point is higher.
00:34:07
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, I'm obviously biased as that was my pick, but, um, you know, I hope, I hope what Dave's saying comes true.
00:34:12
dtmr
I know, try to get him all off-season and then we're never going to get him after week one. Damn it.
00:34:18
Ryan
Yeah.
00:34:20
Joey
Yeah, no, he looked awesome. I can actually disagree with any of that.
00:34:21
Ryan
Yeah. look Yeah.
00:34:24
Joey
um Yeah, it's just I prefer worthy just from a he's tied to my homes that if it if it was any other circumstance for worthy he was on and maybe any other team in the league except for maybe Buffalo where is probably the other place he would be if he was not in Kansas City.
00:34:32
dtmr
understand it
00:34:42
Joey
um I any other team I would prefer Brian Thomas just because he.
00:34:46
dtmr
I will say, I don't think there's been a bus pick yet. So yeah I don't think there's been a bad pick so far through here.
00:34:51
Joey
Yeah.
00:34:52
dtmr
theyre all
00:34:52
Ryan
yeah Pick 11 with Jonathan Brooks. We will reserve our thoughts here as well as he's missing the first four games. Pick 12, Lad McConkie. He caught five of seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown, so pretty good week one for him. you know He led the team in receptions, yards, and targets, which is obviously an excellent sign for fantasy purposes. I think there was some thought going into this season that you Who else is going to catch the ball there? So maybe he was kind of a sneaky pick. So how are we feeling after week one?
00:35:26
Joey
Yeah, there was hype um in the early off season and in fantasy and dynasty circles. And then it kind of cooled off a little bit. Justin Herbert, he found out was going to be hurt. McConkey actually got injured a little bit. and um But was actually nice to see him have the game that he did ah week one. I took him maybe earlier than consensus, maybe even ahead of Brian. i Definitely ahead of Brian Thomas in in a redraft league that I'm in with Dave.
00:35:55
dtmr
It was actually pretty early. I was shocked, but it wasn't that much.
00:35:57
Joey
Yeah, we're in the same round.
00:35:58
dtmr
yeah
00:35:58
Joey
And this was kind of what I was hoping for was a scenario where like, yeah, Josh Palmer, Josh Palmer, but like, Josh Palmer has been on the field for several years and hasn't really been able to distinguish himself as like a true like, top tier.
00:36:10
dtmr
Back the game.
00:36:11
Joey
Yeah. And so, you know, I drafted McConkie and had him on the bench in
00:36:13
dtmr
i
00:36:20
Joey
that league and was figuring I would wait to see and I was pleased with what I saw. So ah yeah I think that what was expected or hoped of him early in the in the offseason looked like it was coming through.
00:36:32
dtmr
Yeah, I like him too. I think he's a tier below the previous wide receiver to talk about. I don't think he has that up the same level of upside, but he's definitely, I think he's on his way and already shows to be like the number one wide receiver.
00:36:45
dtmr
Just that you're getting seven targets for five yards. He got a touchdown, but only 39 yards. I don't think you're going to typically get too many massive yardage games out of him. That's like the only thing I think that caps it. He's playing a little bit more in the short area, but he gets open and he's good.
00:36:57
Joey
I think what you're kind of hoping for is like, ah what the hell was his name? Julian Edelman type guy, where like Edelman was great for fantasy without like too many explosive plays.
00:37:08
Joey
ah That's like his, probably his ceiling. But yeah, that's kind of what I was hoping for.
00:37:13
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, I definitely look good in week one. Pick 13 was Trey Benson. He rushed three times for 13 yards and caught his only target for five yards. Very clear number two back behind James Connor for now. How are we feeling there?
00:37:32
Joey
ah relative to the other guys that went after him.
00:37:36
Joey
I think the only. So what I would have said after week one is Keon Coleman here, probably, but Keon pulled a nice disappearing act in week two last night, which was unfortunate.
00:37:49
Ryan
yeah
00:37:52
Joey
um depending on team need really like if you if you're kind of like shallow at running back and running like like you said he's a backup and we're not really going to be able to know you know what he really is until he gets the opportunity so I mean you know almost five yards a carry on three carries that's pretty solid he was really good yeah
00:38:12
dtmr
Yeah, I didn't think he looked bad.
00:38:13
Ryan
Yeah.
00:38:13
dtmr
He just wasn't really used that much. And James Conner was the offense in this game.
00:38:15
Ryan
Yeah. yeah
00:38:18
dtmr
Yeah, James Conner was great. He was the reason that they almost beat the Bills. But I will say, as a receiver for Trey Benson, he was better than Marvin Harrison.
00:38:28
Joey
Yeah.
00:38:28
dtmr
Saying that again, he's one more yard.
00:38:28
Ryan
It's true.
00:38:30
dtmr
So i just in a...
00:38:32
Ryan
Very good point. Pick 14 was Bo Nix. He completed 26 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. Added 35 yards on the ground in a score. He did also throw two interceptions, and if you were watching the game, could have easily threw another two, three interceptions. So kind of an all-over-the-place debut for him.
00:38:55
Ryan
feel like you know, there were definitely some positives and then, you know, maybe the interceptions were more kind of just first game rookie type mistakes. um But what'd you guys think?
00:39:08
Joey
Come here
00:39:08
Joey
you do.
00:39:08
dtmr
Yeah, I'll jump in first. He is basically the same guy who was in college. Like he can only throw in the short area. He's a starting quarterback though in an offense that I think there'll be more upset in the future. So for him this pick, I don't think it's a bad pick for a super flex league, but I don't see a huge ceiling for him until he can start throwing downfield. Like when I think all his throws were like under 10 yards and he threw I think he, I forgot what the stat was, but he threw like 12 passes, I think over 10 yards and four of them, I think was caught, but two of them were caught by the defense.
00:39:44
Joey
ah
00:39:45
dtmr
So like not, not really good throwing down the field. And so if you're only going to throw less than 10 yards, not, you're not going to have a great days here and there. So, um, fine pick here, but yeah, I'm not overly excited right now.
00:39:58
Ryan
Yeah, I mean, 26 completions for 138 yards is about five yards of completion. So, you know, not what you're looking for.
00:40:04
dtmr
Exactly who he is.
00:40:06
Joey
Given him the benefit of the doubt ah on the road at Seattle first start tough environment Uh, unfortunately for me, he did lead a drive down the field to get in the back door.
00:40:18
Joey
So, you know, like that, that counts for something, you know, so, uh, he'd rush for a touchdown.
00:40:21
dtmr
He's a story quarterback.
00:40:24
Joey
So I I'm, I'm fine with the pick.
00:40:24
dtmr
Yeah.
00:40:26
Joey
And I actually think he'll be a perfectly fine fantasy quarterback and maybe, uh, maybe, maybe a nice middling, you know, not really going to do much for you, but 500 at best NFL quarterback.
00:40:27
dtmr
yeah
00:40:40
Ryan
Yeah. So pick 15. Joe mentioned him. We got a little foresight here. We get to see week two already for Keon Coleman. Week one, you were feeling pretty good. He caught four or five targets for 15, 51 yards in the bills win. And then he followed it up in week two with zero catches. I think he had one target and just pulled a ah complete disappearing act. You know, the bills, I think that's sometimes the concern.
00:41:08
Ryan
Josh Allen likes to run. um you know Yesterday was actually James Cook really doing a lot of the running, but it seems like there's gonna be more rushing than
Week Two Matchup Previews
00:41:18
Ryan
passing on that offense this year. And so Keyon Coleman, to me, his stock has taken a little bit of a hit.
00:41:26
Joey
Yeah, it's this was this was kind of the the the book on him coming out of college that he disappears here and there. And yeah, like you just said in this ah offense, I think it'll be the same.
00:41:39
dtmr
Yeah, it, it's kind of like Joe said, he did this a little bit in college. He was inconsistent. He makes highlight plays here and there, but he's also on a team where it's hard to even figure out what wide receivers going to do well each week. And then you have a player who has that naturally in his, in his bag. Um, so, I mean, as far as a pick here, I'm open.
00:42:01
dtmr
I may slide about a couple of slots, but as far as like wide receivers are going, like he has still of all the wide receivers left, he's still probably one of the more upside players. He's obviously still rookie. And like, if he does start hitting and become more reliable right now, it's like Shakir's the number one reliable wide receiver on that team. Shakir's not a huge big play guy where Coleman is. So if Coleman does get a bigger target share that could work out. but
00:42:26
dtmr
There's definitely a chance that like he, as you mentioned, Ryan, his stock continues to tumble. But I'm i'm still reserving judgment to get a larger sample size out here.
00:42:31
Ryan
Yeah.
00:42:35
dtmr
It was a weird game last night, too. So you never know who's wrong.
00:42:37
Ryan
Yeah, it was. So pick 16, we had Ricky Pearsall. We don't need to comment there. Pick 17.
00:42:45
dtmr
I'm impressed about that.
00:42:46
Joey
got Got that dog in him.
00:42:47
Ryan
yeah Pick 17 was Xavier Laguette, who caught four of seven targets for 35 yards. Problem with him is his quarterback is Bryce Young, who completed 13 of 30 passes for 161 yards and two interceptions. And it just doesn't look like it's going to get any better. So, you know, pretty good debut for him, I guess, seven targets, but the the team's play is not going to favor him.
00:43:16
Joey
The targets are encouraging. um But I have to admit that I watched little to none of this game. I was watching Red Zone from the stands and a lot of the other 1 o'clock games. I went back during the week and rewatched some footage of not this one. So I will ah'll go to Dave for his take because I know he was high on him coming into the season. So I'm curious what you think.
00:43:36
dtmr
um on Honestly, I'm very encouraged by the Taris. I was not expecting him to get this much play because they're talking about Deontay is going to give all the Taris to still have feeling in from last year. Xavier Laguette led his team with a 24.1% target share, which is crazy. I was not expecting that. up so like The fact that they are looking at him and and making sure there's plays to get in his hands. and Bryce, thanks.
00:43:59
dtmr
We'll get into it. I think the Panthers have to address a new quarterback next year. like It's just not going to work out. And that's obviously going to cat't be kept to the upside. But of all the weapons that they have from a receiver standpoint, I guess the only one who can turn these like tiny passes into anything, like Deontay and Villanar are going to go anywhere with this stuff, where Xavier Leggette is a physical like specimen.
00:44:13
Ryan
Thank you very much.
00:44:23
dtmr
He's huge, jumps high and fast. So again, I'm not going to, I don't think it'll be something you can rely on, but I'm actually really encouraged where I was concerned that he was going to be a Jonathan Mingo and not do anything. And right now it seems like they're using him. Um, and I think I'm more confident encouraged by this pick. This pick was a risky pick to begin with. Um, but I'm more encouraged that it, there's ah a better floor than I thought.
00:44:47
Ryan
Yeah, that's fair. Last pick that we're going to go over for a rookie Roundup. Pick 18, Blake Corum, not too much to say. Didn't record a single touch. I think there were ah some speculation that Kyren was potentially going to lose some work to Coram, but week week one proved otherwise.
00:45:08
Joey
Yeah, there was and there was some coach speed coming out of the game like oh they they would have liked to get core more involved. They want to give Kyron a little bit of like a ah like lighten his load a little bit, but like that's just not the.
00:45:20
dtmr
how to give core the ball Yeah, I'm, I'm not, uh, discouraged.
00:45:22
Joey
It's just not the McVeigh way, frankly, and I'm not going to take an L on this on this one yet.
00:45:26
Ryan
Yeah.
00:45:29
Joey
I was a little bit higher on Coram going to the season just because of Kyron's injury history and. um
00:45:35
Ryan
That's what I was just going to say. You're really just hanging on to the fact that Kyron may get hurt.
00:45:37
Joey
Yeah.
00:45:39
Ryan
And if he gets hurt, his stock's going to skyrocket.
00:45:42
Joey
and Yeah.
00:45:44
dtmr
Obviously the old line is the thing that makes the running game more concerning, but that also probably increases the chance Kyra gets hurt.
00:45:48
Joey
That's true, that too.
00:45:52
dtmr
Um, but yeah, I'm, I think it's weird that they didn't use him at all, but I am still in on him. I have him like everywhere. in redress He actually she got dropped in my mega bowl league and I picked him up right away because he's just has still so much upside.
00:46:06
dtmr
And I just don't see any world where he doesn't get mixed in. So I think it's something that they'll gradually start, uh, giving him more and more of the of the workload, but definitely weird that they didn't use him at all week long, but I don't expect this to continue throughout the season.
00:46:16
Joey
Yeah.
00:46:20
dtmr
and
00:46:21
Ryan
Yeah, agreed.
00:46:21
Joey
You know who else got, you know who else got dropped in my Megalobo League that I managed to scoop up? Zach Charbonnet.
00:46:27
dtmr
Oh, what an idiot.
00:46:28
Joey
Yeah, and I and I put a $15 fab on him in retrospect. I should have put about 30 and.
00:46:34
dtmr
No one else went for him?
00:46:36
Joey
No, somebody, one other guy went for him. Also put 15 and I and I won on the tiebreak.
00:46:40
Ryan
Wow, that's a perfect bid.
00:46:41
dtmr
Oh my god.
00:46:42
Joey
Yeah, so. Yeah, it was. Right into the starting lineup.
00:46:47
dtmr
That's huge.
00:46:47
Ryan
Yeah.
00:46:48
dtmr
Yeah, how are you doing in Megaball, soundtrack?
00:46:51
Joey
Uh, good. I think I was the number one scorer in my, in my league. My team, honestly, it's probably the best redraft team that I have, which is unfortunate because there's literally nothing. I'm not going to win out of the 20,000 people that are in it. So it's not really for anything, but yeah, my team is a legit.
00:47:08
dtmr
Yeah, mine was pretty solid too. I won week one. I was the third highest score. But week two, I have HN and James Cook. So I'm looking like the top scorer this week in my league as well. so sorry But anyway, just a little brag session.
00:47:18
Joey
Nice.
Betting Strategies and Prop Picks
00:47:23
Ryan
Yeah, well that's it for the rookie roundup, so Dave will throw it back to you for our regular scheduled programming.
00:47:30
dtmr
Nothing real regular as we're starting the season out, right? And I'm i' mixing around with new segments. So right now what we're going to do is we're going to jump into some ah player perception check after week one. A few different segments here to see which players that our opinions have changed on. We already talked to about some of the rookies, but other players that maybe our opinions changed on after week one. Then we're going to jump into players that we had feelings about and we are reaffirmed in those feelings. And then other ones we're reserving judgment for, but first of all,
00:48:01
dtmr
For you guys, are there any players that after week one, your opinions have actually changed just on what you saw in the field, how they're being used or not used in certain situations? So what are you guys thinking?
00:48:10
Ryan
Oh yeah, I gotta jump in here. Jameson Williams. I'm obviously biased here, but the breakout is here, boys.
00:48:18
dtmr
Yeah.
00:48:18
Ryan
He moved up 36 spots in the dynasty keep trade cut rankings, and he looked good. Clear wide receiver two on an offense that scores a lot of points. Obviously, Saint Brown is going to have his game, so it may be a bit of a boomer bust week-to-week type season, but he's in all starting lineups now, and he was basically unstartable last year, so huge turnaround.
00:48:40
Ryan
I think it's for real and I think the breakout is here to stay.
00:48:44
dtmr
Yeah. I mean, the usage is the biggest thing. Like obviously the stat lab was great, but the amount of targets and like how they were using him, I, I hate him and I'm encouraged by it. I agree with that.
00:48:55
Ryan
If we got you saying positive things then the big breakouts here.
00:48:57
dtmr
Well, he caught the ball. He didn't do that.
00:49:00
Ryan
Yeah, I know.
00:49:00
dtmr
his he entire yeah caught him It was crazy. Um, no, but I agree. Like he's looking like maybe he could actually be something.
00:49:07
Joey
Yeah, we'll talk a little more about him later, but and and not in the the the exact same context. um But yeah, I mean, I had someone who's been in on him all along as well.
00:49:19
Joey
It was good to see. It was almost tragic, because I he actually thought that he had like a serious injury at one point there in the game. And I was like, oh my god, are you kidding me?
00:49:25
dtmr
Oh, yeah.
00:49:26
Ryan
Yeah.
00:49:27
dtmr
What about you, Joe?
00:49:28
Joey
But yeah, ah exciting. So yeah, I'll throw out a couple that I'm going to take an L on.
00:49:31
dtmr
Any players?
00:49:35
Joey
um Taking an L on Joe Mixon. I have no shares of him anywhere and he looked amazing and got 30 carries. You're gonna give anybody 30 carries, then they're gonna be fantasy relevant.
00:49:45
dtmr
and am amendment that The Houston offense, even better.
00:49:48
Joey
Yeah, um obviously Tyler Lockett taking an L there. I have no shares of him anywhere. You couldn't have paid me to draft him. Ramon Dre, I was very out on him. ah kind of that This L was already kind of taken when they gave him the contract, but they with the usage,
00:50:04
Joey
and how terrible Antonio Gibson looked. um It was um unfortunate to see. And I think probably the biggest L that I'm taking um in week one is just overall on the Cincinnati Bengals for fantasy and for life. um I did not end up making this wager, thank the Lord, but I thought all off season that you know the Bengals to win the division at whatever you know and it wasn't even that great of a price like plus 150 plus 175 like they were like the favorite to the second favorite behind Baltimore and they just um the defense looked awful and Joe burrow like
00:50:44
Joey
You know, I know we're back again. Here we are. What's wrong with Joe Burrow? But like what's wrong with Joe Burrow? Like is this just week one? I'm hearing like whispers about the wrist again throughout the course of this week. Um, maybe it's just like a thing and he comes out and they put, they play a good game in Kansas city. They probably will, frankly. Uh, but I am concerned to say the least about them as a team this year and Hoping to see a little bit better of a performance from them in ah in week one, but my opinion of them as being the old Bengals who made it to the Super Bowl and AFC Championship game are is not. ah That was that was a a a bad take, as they say.
00:51:29
dtmr
I mean, they got T Higgins on that team. But he's Mike Williams.
00:51:34
Joey
is steve Yeah, I haven't heard anything about his status for this week, but that's that's obviously going to doubtful.
00:51:38
dtmr
He's Mike Williams.
00:51:39
Joey
Are you just saying he's doubtful?
00:51:41
dtmr
No, he's definitely.
00:51:42
Ryan
He's actually doubtful.
00:51:43
Joey
Hold on.
00:51:44
dtmr
He's Mike Williams. I'm telling you, Mike Williams is actually Mike Williams.
00:51:45
Joey
Let me confirm whether he's actually doubtful.
00:51:46
Ryan
what
00:51:51
Joey
T Higgins.
00:51:52
dtmr
While you looked it up, Ryan, were there any other guys that you had to change?
00:51:56
Joey
Oh no, he is, he is doubtful.
00:51:57
Ryan
Yeah. Yeah, so I threw Kirk Cousins and and Drake London in here. um you know Cousins didn't look like himself and I feel like we're constantly waiting for London to break out.
00:52:08
Ryan
I looked back a little bit to the last two years and London has finished as a top 10 wide receiver twice in two full years and he was being drafted pretty early this year in redraft and it was supposed to be different with Cousins. I just don't see an incoming top 10 season from him and I hope Cousins can get back on track but he is 36 coming off a significant injury. so I don't know, I think Tom Brady playing so well, so late into his career kind of made everyone think that these older quarterbacks could just do it forever.
00:52:40
Ryan
And we're kind of seeing it with Rodgers and Cousins that maybe that's not as realistic as we thought. So it'll be interesting to see if they're able to turn it around, but I'm not on board as of right now.
00:52:52
dtmr
I have alarm bells there.
00:52:54
Ryan
Yeah.
00:52:55
dtmr
Because London flopped.
00:52:59
Ryan
I feel like we're constantly saying he's flopped.
00:53:01
dtmr
Yeah, well, my cousins did not look good. He could not throw the ball down field.
00:53:04
Ryan
and
00:53:05
dtmr
He couldn't move. his He's definitely doesn't seem like he's fully recovered. So definitely concerned there. You were hoping for a lot more. So we'll see how things go.
00:53:12
Ryan
Yeah, and then, yeah, I'll throw in one more just because it's injury related as well, JK Dobbins,
00:53:13
dtmr
But I'm not overly optimistic going forward right now.
00:53:19
Ryan
yeah
00:53:19
Joey
Yeah, we don't like it.
00:53:20
Ryan
and and then yeah ahll throw in one more ah just because it's injury related as well j k dobbins We at least have to say, you know wow, what a comeback there. We thought he was dead and gone after last year, but week one, 135 yards on 10 carries, looked pretty good too. Injury concern doesn't go away, and but even getting a few weeks out of him was better than we expected after last season. So ah good to see him back out there.
00:53:47
Joey
Yeah. Um, I want to see a little more. I have him in the, uh, I'm still reserving my judgment section of this segment of the pod, but, uh, yeah, only if I have to, I, I, I, yeah, yeah, probably.
00:53:56
Ryan
Are you throwing them in your lineup week two?
00:54:02
dtmr
Panthers, I think, right? I probably am.
00:54:05
Ryan
Yeah.
00:54:08
Joey
I, I'm, I think Gus bus is a by low.
00:54:11
dtmr
I agree. I think so too. i think
00:54:13
Joey
i think I think at the end of the season, i would like if you were to ask me who I'd rather have for the rest of the season right now, I'd still rather have Gus Bus. And part of that is and is probably like 10%.
00:54:24
Joey
It's just bias against J.K. Dobbins because nobody comes back and is productive from a Achilles. And we kind of saw Cam Akers do this for a little bit, like one good game, and then disappeared off the face of the earth.
00:54:37
Joey
So, um you know.
00:54:38
Ryan
Yeah.
00:54:38
dtmr
um and there Yeah.
00:54:39
Joey
and
00:54:41
dtmr
I agree. I mean, it was only 10 carries. Edward still had more. i I've changed my opinion where I don't think he's useless anymore.
00:54:44
Ryan
yeah
00:54:48
dtmr
and Yeah.
00:54:48
Joey
He also still looks like he's running with a limp.
00:54:50
dtmr
Well, he he broke away and no one near him and he just stopped running and like the defenders catch him. Like he should have had multiple touchdowns and he just couldn't like get to the next gear and was just like, yeah, you got me guys.
00:55:03
dtmr
And kind of just like stopped and got him multiple times.
00:55:05
Joey
it's
00:55:06
dtmr
He ran out of gas.
00:55:06
Joey
yeah i
00:55:09
dtmr
So like, yeah, I, I think he's, I thought you couldn't use him.
00:55:09
Joey
I'm still more out than in, even for this year, even for the next like six weeks.
00:55:17
dtmr
I think you can use him. So my opinion is changing that I do think.
00:55:20
Ryan
Yeah, that's where I was going with it. He wasn't on you know teams. He would have been on waivers going into this season, typically.
00:55:27
dtmr
ah the Yeah. I'm not ready to say he's like a top 24 30 back yet. Um, but. Now I think there is a path for that, potentially, where I was like, dad i this guy, because you could potentially be dropped in a couple of weeks. But no, I don't think that's the case anymore.
00:55:43
Ryan
Yeah.
00:55:43
Joey
I also did ah have to admit, I thought of you guys in the league as I placed Dobbins over 39 and a half rushing yards and watched it, watched it cash about seven minutes into the game.
00:55:52
dtmr
yeah It was good, though.
00:55:58
Ryan
All right Dave, who you got?
00:56:00
dtmr
I got a couple. I'll run through them quick. Change. So Bryce Young, wat to ah to Sean Watson, Dan Jones, more so just the fact that like I am fully, fully after these guys should not be able to get more. Like I felt like they could be potentially useful. Maybe have some upside beat and be sneaky by Lowe's. Now these guys suck and you got every, the franchises need to find ways to move on. This year, nothing the Panthers and Giants can really do. Maybe Locke can come in at some point. Well, I think you got to get with Winston in for Cleveland at some point, but yeah.
00:56:33
dtmr
Ramon Jay, I was already kind of liking him a bit more, but like now I'm like, I really think he is like a top point back. Ken Walker, I think might end up being an elite. Top 10 back, went healthy. The guy, I was starting to get more into him about over the last month or so, and he looked incredible, got hurt. Jin Reed, I actually think is a stud in the making as well. Just like, you saw glimpses of it last year, I still have reservations, obviously the love is out, but he is like of the debo mold, he's gonna manufacture touches, and I think he's like a number one weapon, so um I'm rising a lot on him. I think he's like, could be, in Dynasty I view him as a good,
00:57:12
dtmr
probably a top 24 wide receiver at this point. I think he's incredible digs. I don't think he's dead anymore. Um, and I'm not, I don't think he's a wide receiver one, but he is like, I think it was a team captain week one. He was a clear focal point of the offense. He's not getting the explosive targets, but they're using them in the end zone and they're using them all over. So I think he is going to be a very useful, um, asset this year, proper hours to talk about Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. I think all most people thought the bucks were going to be the biggest flop of the year. And,
00:57:41
dtmr
week one, obviously they, who are they playing? Probably the Panthers again there.
00:57:45
Joey
Now Washington, who also probably has the second worst defense.
00:57:47
dtmr
Yeah. First defense. Uh, so like that could make anyone look good, but I honestly just think they can make it on Mike Evans was a perfect match for each other. it' the The way that Baker throws the ball compliments the way Mike Evans plays.
00:57:59
dtmr
So I think both of them are going to continue to be useful. Barkley, I was fading a bit. Wrong guy looks elite. Uh, and he probably will continue to be elite for a couple of years. CMC, the injuries are seriously, I was actually at one point thinking maybe CMC is the RB one in dynasty just on the game break ability.
00:58:16
dtmr
I am now very concerned. Yeah.
00:58:19
Ryan
Yeah. ah
00:58:21
dtmr
um
00:58:21
Joey
Yeah.
00:58:22
dtmr
The Pollard Spear situation, I know, Joe, you have a different take on this. um I was just way more on the Spear side. I am now leaning more that Pollard might be the better asset. I don't think Pollard will be as dominant as he was week one. but I thought my followers out and Spears would get like, I thought Spears was like a very sneaky value. Not as confident in that now. I'm actually thinking power could be the dial. And finally, Kelsey looks old. Uh, I, he still has the mind meld with Mahomes and like when plays break down, he's going to get his and that's who Mahomes looks to. But when it's just like set plays, it doesn't really seem like they're going to Kelsey on those, but he's not getting separation and he just looks slower. So I'm like.
00:59:03
dtmr
I'm very, I don't think, and he'll probably prove me wrong for several weeks, but I'm just, I have more reservations that he's going to be an elite option consistently week to week. He will have weeks for sure, but I'm losing the the glimmer on the the Kelsey asset there.
00:59:19
Joey
Great on Kelsey.
00:59:20
dtmr
Agreed.
00:59:21
Joey
Yeah. Great on Kelsey.
00:59:23
Ryan
Yeah, and on ah your take that young Watson and Jones should not be in the league. I was someone who I'll take an L.
00:59:28
dtmr
Okay.
00:59:30
Ryan
I thought Bryce Young could turn it around and maybe we'd see a little bit of something in year two, but it doesn't look like it.
00:59:35
dtmr
Yeah, thank God. they Yeah.
00:59:38
Ryan
Yeah.
00:59:39
Joey
Woof.
00:59:42
dtmr
um But what about guys that you came into the season having a pretty strong, you know, they're going to be studs. You're feeling really good about it. Our players you just knew we're going to suck. And after week one, you're going to take that quick victory lap.
00:59:55
Ryan
yeah So I had Josh Allen, which after a week two, you know didn't have the fantasy points in a week two, but he just didn't need to do anything in that game.
01:00:02
dtmr
ah Yeah.
01:00:03
Ryan
um So I still think he's the man and pumped to have him. C.J. Stroud, I was interested to see how he would do in week one after his season last year, and he didn't disappoint, picked up right where he left off, and I think he'll have another great season.
01:00:17
Ryan
And then Dave, you mentioned it, but Saquon Barkley, what a game for him. I was curious how he would do on a new team and he finished as the RB one for the week. And he was involved in all aspects of the game and scored two on the ground and one through the air. So it looks like he's going to be real involved and should have a really good year.
01:00:35
Joey
Yeah, for me, one guy I have in a lot of places that I was a little uncertain about after week one, but now at last night feeling a lot better is James Cook. um Have him in several weeks and unfortunately didn't.
01:00:48
Joey
I lost him in the lottery in another league, um but yeah, he looks strong and.
01:00:51
dtmr
And.
01:00:54
Joey
um ah Travis ETN not, you know, and I only have him in one spot, but just bringing him up here because I.
01:01:05
Joey
I felt like his usage and everything that I saw from ah his performance in week one. I know that Tank Bigsby outgained him and had a decent game on the ground. But i i I think that ETN is still far and away the asset that you want to have on this team at the running back position. And Bigsby is going to be ah much more of just a handcuff.
01:01:30
Joey
um ETN gets to work in the passing game. He should have scored two touchdowns. um you know Ideally, there won't be fumbling issues that manifest. ah It seems like they have um The coaching staff in Jacksonville is one of those, like, if you fumble, then you're your playing time is going to reflect it. So hopefully he gets that worked out. But um I'm happy with my Travis ETN shares and um not rushing to acquire Tank Bigsby at this moment. And the Patriots passing ah offense. I mean, we talked about them last pod. I know that I considered drafting anyone.
01:02:12
Joey
um i just ah There's nothing to be excited about. They don't throw the ball beyond five yards down the field. They ran Rondray Stevenson, I think, 25 times.
01:02:23
Joey
When they do drop back to pass, they check down to the their running backs a lot. um They have a pretty good defense. So if they're going to actually like try and go out and win games, they're probably going to try and scum the games out.
01:02:36
Joey
And I just don't really think that you're going to be happy starting any Patriots wide receiver, really, at any point this season.
01:02:37
Ryan
Thank you.
01:02:43
dtmr
I'm going to join because I have Etienne this same section for the opposite reason. I was actually been fading Etienne. I traded him before last season started, looked horrible because he was scoring all those touchdowns in the first half, but his value was fully contingent upon scoring touchdowns when those went away the back half a year. He wasn't a super efficient runner.
01:03:06
dtmr
Um, he got a ton of work then, but even so at this week, he was definitely, he had what three point, uh, 3.7 yards for Kerry. And I don't, I still agree that he is the back to own there. I just don't think he is a, um, a high end option, uh, at running back going forward. And the Bigsby.
01:03:27
dtmr
surprising is they've been talking about wanting to give Leiden ETN's load. And it makes me, it can show performances like this. That gives the coaching staff more confidence to give him that workload, which last year they couldn't, they wanted to do it.
01:03:40
dtmr
And literally every time he touched the ball, it hurt the team. Like he, they throw a target to him twice. I think he got two targets, both turned into pick sixes. Uh, he fumbled non-stop. So like now that he's showing you can hold the ball and be effective with it, it, it cuts an ETN.
01:03:55
Joey
Just one game.
01:03:56
dtmr
What?
01:03:57
Joey
I said just one game.
01:03:58
dtmr
It's one game.
01:03:59
Joey
That's my hesitation, right? You know, like we have the whole evidence of last season where he was not great.
01:04:00
dtmr
Yeah.
01:04:04
Joey
And yeah so that's the only reason why at this point I'm still valuing ETN.
01:04:04
dtmr
Yeah.
01:04:10
Joey
And I guess if we're like the way that you worded it, which is like, um You know a top option especially from a dynasty standpoint moving forward like ETN is not a big guy to begin with and if a lot of his value came from ah touchdown standpoint then You know, I think in redraft.
01:04:21
dtmr
Yeah.
01:04:27
Joey
He was kind of falling a little bit this year for people having similar concerns I probably wouldn't consider him in a in the top Well, I probably tier 2 high high-end tier 3 running back probably tier 2 though.
01:04:42
Joey
Maybe maybe high-end tier 3.
01:04:43
dtmr
Here's three, I feel like there's a better spot.
01:04:43
Joey
I Yeah, very high NTF3.
01:04:46
dtmr
But but he was like, I think he was like a top six dynasty running back going into the year.
01:04:46
Joey
um
01:04:51
dtmr
And because he's of the big producers, like he's on the younger side, like he's much younger like than Steve.
01:04:57
Joey
Yeah, yeah.
01:04:58
dtmr
But I'm working on that. I don't think he's ever going to be like a top eight 10 running back consistently. So you're just valuing and based on age. So that's where I'm at.
01:05:09
dtmr
But I know we'll we'll see. It's one week. A few other guys.
01:05:13
Joey
you've You've never been wrong on Jaguars before, so.
01:05:14
dtmr
no And I still not in fact, Trevor Lawrence and, and Brian Thomas Jr.
01:05:16
Joey
so
01:05:18
Ryan
Here's our Jaguar expert.
01:05:21
dtmr
I might as well just get Jack's Jersey. I am very excited about Brian Thompson and Trevor Lawrence. That's where the offense has to run through. But other players, I've been loving Brian Robinson all off season. He's one some guy who I felt was just undervalued everywhere. And week one, you saw it. and like He looked like it he's always been like a solid runner.
01:05:42
dtmr
And honestly, the first half of last year, I think, Joe, you talked about at one point on one of the pods, like he was what is like RB four or something at some point, but he's get going this year.
01:05:49
Joey
Yeah.
01:05:51
dtmr
They got Echler, but he's still involved in the past game. I think he had like three or four receptions or something this past week. And that you saw that last year, which is what I like gave me the confidence to be buying him a lot and to see that carry over in the season is making me pretty confident in him.
01:06:05

Niko Collins is still to confirm alpha wide receiver one on the Texans neighbors to talk about Anthony Richardson just got taught like he You were hoping he'd be the game-breaking stud. He is the game-breaking said just stay healthy But like I'm more encouraged like he definitely had some bad throws a D Mitchell apology a couple touchdowns But he also made the crazy touchdown to Al Capers that literally no one else could make but he didn't look that bad as a passer Overall, like he had bad moments here unbelievable moments, but I'd say some were somewhere someone middle He wasn't that bad. So like that gives me cops that he could develop there. Jevonta Williams I sold in our league. Thank God so far so like that one I feel much I was actually getting worried going to the season that he was starting to get some hype and now after week one He looked real bad. So I'm like, alright, maybe I could get out from under that and
01:06:53
dtmr
And then finally, I expressed my concerns about Jonathan Taylor, because they never played with Anthony Richardson, but you saw all the stats, the one game Zach Moss, who was good, played with Anthony Richardson, was not good. And the first game is one game, but Jonathan Taylor definitely disappointed. He did get a ah TD, but he was three yards per carry, 16-48. Anthony Richardson stole a four-thing goal touchdown away. so um Not a bad asset, but again, like I have reservation where I don't think he's going to be as great as you expect him to be. Just based on how the offense is going to run. But I don't know if you guys have any varying opinions on what I just threw out there.
01:07:38
Joey
No, who'd rather have rest of season?
01:07:38
Ryan
No, I agree.
01:07:41
Joey
ah Jonathan Taylor or ETN?
01:07:44
dtmr
By Jonathan Taylor.
01:07:45
Joey
Yeah.
01:07:47
dtmr
I think he has a bigger and his big play ability more than I think he can has.
01:07:51
Joey
It'd be close for me.
01:07:53
dtmr
i I don't think it's like far off, but I probably dress Yeah, I could see you go either way I just I'm basing it on who could blow up more and I don't I Don't see each hand breaking off like too many long runs You're like that's a big part of Jonathan Taylor's game to see ripped off like 40 50 yard touchdowns.
01:07:57
Joey
I think the Anthony Richardson factor would probably lead me more towards ETN from just like a touchdown upside and yeah.
01:08:19
Joey
yeah
01:08:20
dtmr
I All right. Well, what about who are you still reserving judgment for what I'll throw out there because we already talked about it multiple times is just the column Murray and Marvin Harrison situation still early but And I and I'm still reserving personally judgment on Xavier worthy We kind of touched upon that so you don't need to go to first say and Blake core So basically of the rookies will can we pass it on the rookies, but who else you kind of reserving judgment on?
01:08:47
Joey
I'll throw out Isaiah likely. I mean, I like what I see from him. I really do. and But I just, I'm out on the entire, um trying to predict the entire Ravens passing attack on a week to week basis. There's one league where I have Mark Andrews and Isaiah likely, and i'm think i'm i'm in I'm in talks to try and trade them both because I just don't want to like play the game and Try and figure out who it's gonna be.
01:09:17
Joey
I think it's gonna vary from week to week I didn't love I walked went back and watched all of his routes run and like probably 80 to 90 percent of them were like within six yards of the line of scrimmage um so like
01:09:29
dtmr
Mm hmm.
01:09:32
Joey
I'm just holding I'm I'm he looked he he came very close to a two touchdown like massive game and he's proven that to be dynamic in the past in playoff games. He's had big games like he's he's a good player. So I'm that's why I just want to see a little bit more of how the ah offense is going to function and see if he's going to be a guy that you can count on. I just don't think you're going to be able to really count on anybody but Lamar in that offense passing wise.
01:09:58
Ryan
Yeah, I actually agree completely with that. I have Mark Andrews in another league and I was putting in a bid for likely because he was on waivers and I didn't even want to go that high because I didn't want to have to try to decide which one to start every week. I feel like it's going to be a huge up and down you know season for both of them. but I'm kind of holding judgment on all tight ends. We won the top three tight ends where Isaiah likely foster Moreau and Brock Bowers. It's not what we expected to happen, and I'm not sold on it being consistent. I think Andrew still gets involved in Baltimore. Like I said, it probably could be an up and down season for both of those guys. And you know I need to see a few more weeks to kind of see how the tight ends shake out. We talked about Kelsey not looking that great, but he is still Kelsey.
01:10:46
Ryan
We're really going to carry on all season, I don't know. So it's interesting. It's ah it's a tough position to you know have a consistent starter in.
01:10:55
dtmr
on the andrews note I want to throw out Andy Holloway on a Twitter thread. like broke down and watched all the tape on Andrews too. And he was being doubled and triple covered the entire game. And if you look at like the last five or six games that Ravens have played with the Chiefs, Andrews is always taken out. He does nothing against them. So I wouldn't be concerned over Andrews. I don't think there's a full shift in the scheme. This is just the Chiefs know how to take Andrews away and make other people beat him. So like that kind of speaks to your both of your boy guys' point about
01:11:26
dtmr
Reserving judgment seeing how like the likely Andrews split kind of continues because that's a big thing I think a lot of people are freaking out about an untied-hand position I would I think they're both great players and they're gonna be very involved think Andrews is still the number on target But maybe ceiling's a little bit lower than it was before with now that likely is emerged a touch But I think you kind of have to see how another game goes with this these two
01:11:51
Joey
Yep, I'm with you. One other guy, I mean, I guess I know you're all waiting with bated breath to hear how I feel about Christian Watson, who I put out there on the last pod.
01:12:01
dtmr
Yeah, thanks.
01:12:02
Joey
Yeah, here's what I'll say about Christian Watson, truly.
01:12:04
Ryan
but
01:12:06
dtmr
I haven't, too, so I want him to be.
01:12:06
Joey
um yeah So he should have caught a touchdown on the first drive. He had two targets in the end zone, the first drive of the game that You should have caught both. One, he was right in his hands, he dropped it.
01:12:18
Joey
The second one, he was open and Jordan Love air mailed them. And now we've got probably a minimum of three and probably closer to four or five weeks of Malik Willis.
01:12:27
dtmr
Yeah, through.
01:12:27
Joey
So now it's just with Watson, like will he be able to stay healthy and really do anything with Malik Willis or can he just hang in there until Jordan Love comes back? I'm not totally giving up.
01:12:39
Joey
But it's just it's unfortunate if you have him. It's you know the first half of the season yeah he might end up on waivers here and there because it's see I don't think he's going to do very much.
01:12:47
dtmr
Yeah.
01:12:48
Ryan
Thank you.
01:12:50
dtmr
Yeah, I could see that. i
01:12:51
Joey
Not to mention that Jaden Reed is obviously very explosive and he's going to command more targets as well.
01:12:57
dtmr
That's exactly my point. When you were when we were grabbing any Packers wide receivers that you knew someone was going to merge, you weren't sure. And like after week one, it seems like Reed's the guy. Like Reed almost had three touchdowns. He should have had three touchdowns. I think there was like a stupid hole that pulled another one back. So if you're going to be seeing those big explosive targets go to him, it it makes it harder for Watson to kind of be the guy. He'll have bloat weeks here and there, but I think he's going to be a very fickle fantasy option going forward.
01:13:28
Joey
I'm holding that out for when Jordan Love gets back.
01:13:29
dtmr
yeah
01:13:31
Joey
We'll see.
01:13:31
dtmr
yeah and
01:13:32
Joey
That's why I have him in my reserving judgment. I wasn't ready to sail him off to sea after week one.
01:13:37
dtmr
Yeah, anyway I mean, if love comes back in three weeks, I think you can survive three weeks and and love likes to spread the ball around a bit. So like, I think he's gonna still be useful. One ah one guy who I'm still reserving judgment for, but I need to caveat it, is Will Leves, and let me scare you, he looked horrible week one, like really, really bad. and I'm not ready to put him in the Bryce Watson DJ tier yet, but He strikes me as a a type of player who is going to have a lot of up and down games. Like there'll be games where he looks ah unbelievable and in games he looks like. When he looks bad, he looks really bad. And that was last week, just making dumb boneheaded plays.
01:14:18
dtmr
But like my reserve judgment is like, I think he'll probably continue to still be the starter, but i if he keeps going like he did in week one, and he actually is playing the Jets this week, so it could be bad again, I wouldn't put out a round of possibilities that they might actually put Mason Rudolph in at some point, which I did throw this out that like maybe grab him and like, I don't know if, did you guys hear the quotes that the coach said about Hopkins?
01:14:44
Ryan
Yeah.
01:14:44
dtmr
He literally said if we punted on the first down of every possession we likely win that game if you're saying that it's like I Feel like you could potentially make a change of quarterback But i'm I'm waiting to reserve judgment that because otherwise if I had him I'd be like um I got a jump shift I'm not doing that yet. I think maybe it'll be okay, but after week one I Generally, I would be terrified.
01:15:05
dtmr
But if you have Levis, I'd get Rudolph, because I do think there could be a... I should say if you're relying on Will Levis. If you don't rely on him, don't make the trade.
01:15:15
dtmr
But if he is like a key piece, you've got to kind of have a contingency plan.
01:15:22
dtmr
Anyone else, guys, or you guys ready to go into the next segment?
01:15:23
Joey
Yeah.
01:15:28
Joey
No, I think we're good.
01:15:29
dtmr
All right.
01:15:29
Ryan
Okay.
01:15:29
dtmr
All right. Excited.
01:15:31
Joey
All right.
01:15:31
dtmr
Jen, take it away.

Ryan
Thank you.
01:18:03
Joey
So now onto the segment. And for the segment, I'm going to, for this week, um Dave and I are gonna throw out a couple ah couple appetizers, ah some um some bets that we have made or are going to make, things that we particularly like for the week. So ah Dave, I'm gonna kick it over to you. What do you got for us this week?
01:18:25
dtmr
First of all, I just want to know how awesome it is that we have an ad read in Joe. That was awesome.
01:18:30
Joey
Yeah.
01:18:31
Ryan
Well done.
01:18:32
dtmr
I love that I'm in the kitchen. where where Where do you do your best kitchen, by the way, when you're when you're cooking up some parlays?
01:18:38
Joey
um When I first wake up in bed on Sunday, I usually roll over on the stomach and grab the phone and put in a couple right there before I even get out of bed. And then ah I got the two kids at home.
01:18:49
Joey
So like as it gets closer and closer to kick off, it's hard for me to like really focus on on finding the locks and chefing up good parlays with the kids running around and Paul looking at me.
01:19:02
Joey
So usually I have to excuse myself to take a shit and
01:19:05
dtmr
ah
01:19:06
Joey
That's where the the real magic happens. so
01:19:09
dtmr
and And I am a frequent diner at this kitchen, I'll tell you that much. But moving forward on some of the picks that I'm taking, throwing them out there. So there's that there's a couple games I like based on the defensive matchups and and and so some players who maybe had not the greatest output in week one. So one of those is Jerry Goff.
01:19:32
dtmr
You thought he'd have a bigger game week one. He didn't really have it. And because of that, I think the lines are a little bit lower, which that's usually what I look for a player who maybe had a down week.
01:19:35
Ryan
Thank you.
01:19:40
dtmr
If they have big weeks to fall in week, the lines are always true. So Jared Goff, he is going to be home and he's unbelievable at home and he's playing against the Bucks and the Bucks secondary is not really that impressive.
01:19:51
dtmr
but their running defense is very strong. So with that, I think that they're gonna attack through the air. So actually I'm going to parlay Jared Goss over one and a half pass touchdowns with his over 269 and sixty nine a half pass yards on Fandall for plus 140. So that's the only parlay I have in there, but if you want a little bit more juice, you have a little bit better rods, another player who I think is gonna have a pretty big game is Derek Henry.
01:20:17
dtmr
and turnover over They're playing the Raiders. They're at home playing the Raiders and I'm having him over scoring two touchdowns at plus three twenty and fan dual Henry was kain came into the the Ravens to kind of ice games, and when they're up, just like dominate. And I think, honestly, I would maybe even take as over his rush attempt. He's going to get a lot of work, and I think they're going to be up the whole game. And I do think there'll be plenty of times they're in the red zone, and he's going to be the one getting the touches. So I think he has a good shot to get into touchdowns. And when you get basically three to one odds, I'll take that.
01:20:52
dtmr
Another one, Malik Willis. He stinks as a passer, and so like he's not going to be promoting the time.
01:20:56
Joey
Okay.
01:20:59
dtmr
But he is athletic, and I think the only way they'll move the ball is him running. So his rush yards is only at 29 and a half. Fanville at minus 113. Feels a bit low for like, that's the only way I think they'll move the ball, so I'm willing to sprinkle a little bit on there.
01:21:13
dtmr
The big one, the one I have the most conviction in, and I know Joey feels the same way, and we alluded to this before, is Malik Neighbors, basically everything, but really his yards, over 66 and a half receiving yards, is minus 113, currently a fan duel.
01:21:27
dtmr
They're playing the commanders, we alluded to this before, their defense stakes, like real bad.
01:21:31
Joey
Yeah, it's not good.
01:21:33
dtmr
It's one of the worst in the league. I mean, they spent last year trading all their defensive players away so they could get a higher pick, and it's working. They say so neighbors is I think he's gonna torch that secondary So I am definitely throwing money on the over of his receiving yards But I also he forgot how many turns he got this past year probably but he's gonna get a healthy was it double digits or was
01:21:56
Joey
You had five catches. I don't know how many targets though.
01:22:00
Ryan
Seven, seven targets.
01:22:01
Joey
And that's our kids.
01:22:01
dtmr
atars So I think you'll get more going this week because I don't think the end of Jones will be under as much pressure So I think they'll throw the ball more because again the commander's defense thinks so I would actually take his over receptions at five and a half For plus 108 so you get a little extra juice there and how I'll even parlay the both of those together and I get you plus 128 Since there is some positive correlation but between that you will get crazy odds there Finally, same game. I'll throw it in there. I mentioned to before Brian Robinson. I think they keep putting the unders on his receiving yards way too low. I bet this last week it was a smash. I think he had like four or something yards. Again, the line is only an 11 and a half receiving yards and minus one 13 on Fandal. I'm taking it again because until the the books catch up, I'm going to keep hitting his receiving yards over. So those are my plays, Joe. How do you feel about them? Anything you like?
01:22:49
Joey
Yeah, you know, um obviously yeah when I originally went to put my pits picks in the dock, I i had Malik Neighbors as well, so I'm with you on that one. And um i I like ah the Bryan Robinson over receiving yards because Yeah, I mean, it's an opportunity to exploit a defense.
01:23:09
Joey
It's not very good, and if the Giants have anything, it's a half decent front seven, so maybe they will get some pressure on Jane Daniels and maybe you see. Oh, I mean, 11 receiving yards doesn't take much, and if you're saying he's involved in the passing game, right exactly so.
01:23:24
dtmr
on play. Yeah.
01:23:27
Ryan
He had 49 last week, so you know 11 and a half seems like a pretty good thing four targets three catches so Yeah
01:23:29
Joey
49 how many targets?
01:23:31
dtmr
Yeah, I can't believe the lines that low. We get like three or four. Yeah.
01:23:35
Joey
Yeah, yeah, that's. That that'll be a bit like I'm going to put that in right now.
01:23:38
dtmr
Yeah, that's a bear.
01:23:42
Joey
Alright, so for me I'm going to stick in that same category. This is probably no, I don't want to say it's my favorite. I think I like all of these equally, but Rashad white over three and a half receptions.
01:23:55
dtmr
Like your kids, right? Your bets are like your kids, you know, I can make one.
01:23:57
Joey
Yeah, yeah.
01:23:58
dtmr
No favorites.
01:23:59
Joey
i'm I'm giving these all out with equal conviction, but I i i i like Rashad White ah in the passing game, and I think that um highest implied total of the year, we're going to talk about this game several times. We've already talked about it, and we're going to talk about it again.
01:24:15
Joey
um He gets a ton of work in the passing game. um And I think that it's likely to be a game script where they're down. I think the Lions are going to come out and score a lot of points at home.
01:24:27
Joey
um And Baker just is throwing his chuck at the ball. I think is his line for over attempts right now is like 36 or 37 and a half attempts.
01:24:38
dtmr
wow
01:24:38
Joey
Yeah, it's high. So I just, you know, with the line that high and I think I had four or five, so four receptions, four of targets, four receptions last week. And no, I lied. I think it was six targets, six receptions last week. um So, you know, looking back towards um his trending last year it's not like he's a lock for you know five six catches a game but I do think this is one of those games where the game script will be conducive to him catching balls so I really like Rashad white over three and a half receptions um I also like and bet Isaiah likely under
01:25:15
Joey
um I bet under 18 and a half longest reception, ah widely available with 17 and a half. I would bet 17 and a half too. I bet 18 and a half like minus 125 just for the extra yard, probably a waste. But um yeah, I mean, like I said earlier, a lot of his a lot of his routes were near the line of scrimmage last week. And I don't anticipate this being a game where Baltimore needs to throw the ball a ton or even wants to throw the ball a ton. Frankly, coming off of last week, uh, it correlates a little bit with Dave's Derek Henry to touchdown play, which I also like. Um, I think, I think generally speaking, they don't want to throw the ball a lot like any game. So.
01:25:56
Joey
The one play where likely went for big yardage last week was a broken play. um His initial route on that play was an eight yard route that he turned up field when Jackson got outside the pocket, made a great play, broke about four tackles. It was a nice play, ah but it's not like that was a downfield route for him.
01:26:15
Joey
And then last I'm gonna go with, this isn't and this is an interesting one, um Brock Purdy, ah over 238 and a half passing yards is is available, but the the actual like um market number, it's more commonly 240, 241 and a half. um This opened lower, I think it opened around like 232 and a half, and it's actually taking some money over the course of the week.
01:26:43
Joey
um He has good numbers against the Blitz, the Vikings Blitz a lot. um He still threw, I think, a ah solid like eight yards per attempt last week, ah even in a game where um first name mason first name mason jordan mason ran for a hundred and forty seven yards uh...
01:27:01
dtmr
Jordan.
01:27:06
Joey
he still put up over two hundred yards passing last week and that was also with brennan are you hardly like schemed into the uh... like it just it didn't really seem like brennan i e was super involved he didn't do a ton and i i have to think that'll change this week so uh...
01:27:23
Joey
property over two thirty eight and a half over two forty and a half uh... Yeah, I think it's a I think the defense the Vikings defense presents a good matchup for him and that's what that's a good look. What are your thoughts?
01:27:38
dtmr
Oh, I mean, I like them all the, the unders are ones that are always stressful, but they're always the sharper play. Typically said the underlonger, uh, your reception. And I think that's also really smart because people are going to look at the long touch down like they had last week and like.
01:27:55
dtmr
I think, I forgot who looked at the odds, but the odds of him scoring a touchdown play was like 0.3%. Like on there was like so low, he broke multiple tackles, shouldn't have happened. So, and most of his targets, he's coming out in the flats and like it's all short error targets. So he, the only way he's going over on that really is if he's breaking multiple tackles and getting out there. So I like that play, even though Anders always give me the heebie jeebies and I like to just pray for the overhope, but that, I think that's it, the smart play. and Yeah, it's funny that we're targeting a lot of the same games in there.
01:28:27
Joey
Yeah. And now, for the main course, we're going to go to the same game parlay of the week. And you're not going to be surprised to hear that
01:28:34
dtmr
We've got to get a draw for this, by the way, next time.
01:28:36
Joey
Yeah, we do. We're going to get it for next week.
01:28:37
dtmr
We've got to get one worth.
01:28:38
Ryan
Yeah, we definitely need one.
01:28:39
Joey
Maybe something from Ratatouille.
01:28:41
dtmr
Yeah.
01:28:42
Joey
We'll see. More to come. We're going to give it some stuff.
01:28:43
dtmr
Anyway, we're going to do this for the game. All right, that'll be the placeholder.
01:28:50
Joey
that That's a good one. Um, we're going to go back to Detroit, uh, Buccaneers at lions highest implied total of the week, 51, 51 and a half. Um, and we are going to go with four legs. The first leg Rashad white.
01:29:08
Joey
Over three and a half receptions because I like that a lot. So it's in here Jared Goff over one and a half passing touchdowns Again, right Dave said earlier the Buccaneers have a pretty solid run defense. The Lions also have a pretty solid run defense um so Buccaneers seem like they just want to throw the ball the Lions Who are known to run, but I think against the Bucks they're going to have a lot more success passing. um So golf over one and a half passing touchdowns. um And then I'm taking I'm in Ross St Brown.
01:29:41
Joey
over. So you could take this two ways. I put in Amun-Ra 100 plus yards receiving. I think it's a get right game for him. I think that um I was strongly considering putting Jamison Williams under in here as well. Nothing against Jamison, but I just kind of feel like his his line might be a little inflated by what happened in week one. And you know, I don't see that many games this season where.
01:30:07
Joey
Jameson outperforms. I'm in Ra um Like I said a game. I think Tampa Bay's down their best cornerback um so I just I think this is a game where the Lions are gonna pass a ton and there's projected to be a lot of points and Not for nothing, but these guys know I'm in Ra had a down week week one So I i just think this is gonna be a big week for him.
01:30:27
Joey
You could also, if you want to be less risk, less, you know, like risk forward or less risk, averse more more risk averse. You could play Amun-Ra's over receiving line, which is just 81, 82 and a half right now. So it's not that much more egregious going up to the hundred. And I wanted the boost to the odds.
01:30:46
Joey
And then last leg, like Dave mentioned earlier, Mike Evans over 67 and a half. I think this is a good matchup for Mike Evans. I think that Baker throws to him a ton. I think there's a lot of attention going to Chris Godwin this week because Chris Godwin was getting ah a ton of targets. He had six targets yesterday. I think he caught them all. They were mostly slot targets though. And I think Mike Evans game breaking playability, the Lions gave up like the second most explosive plays passing plays in the league last year so mike evans uh i think he's a good look so four legs rishad white over three and a half receptions jared goth over one and a half passing touchdowns aman rasim brown 100 plus receiving and mike evans over 67 and a half receiving that'll get you anywhere from 10 to 12 to 14 to 1 depending on where when i uh originally put it in i was on bet 365 it
01:31:40
Joey
It was showing 14 to 1, then it ticked down to 12 to 1 right before I locked it in. But I checked FanDuel, 10 to 1, DraftKings, 10 or 11 to 1.
01:31:51
Joey
So you know like I said earlier, this is another plug to shop around if you have a couple different apps. ah Put the parlay in all the apps, see which one pays you out the best odds. And you know that's where you want to take it.
01:32:03
dtmr
Oh, yeah, I was gonna say, yeah each each app has different booths that are are available.
01:32:03
Joey
And if you have, like obviously, profit boost somewhere, but yeah makes that it more appealing as well.
01:32:11
dtmr
So definitely see what's there to to you know maximize those odds.
01:32:15
Joey
Yeah, so.
01:32:16
Ryan
A lot of overlap between the two of you on what you liked this week. It makes me a little more confident in your guys' picks here.
01:32:22
dtmr
that's I mean, I feel pretty good. I'm a sous chef, if you will.
01:32:26
Joey
Yeah, no, we didn't talk about it beforehand either, so it's actually nice to see that we're aligned.
01:32:26
Ryan
Yeah.
01:32:29
dtmr
Yeah.
01:32:31
Ryan
yeah
01:32:33
Joey
And yeah, let's ah
NSFW Dynasty League Highlights and Trades
01:32:36
Joey
let's get that money.
01:32:36
dtmr
similar process. and right It's going to be a big week boys, big week.
01:32:37
Joey
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
01:32:41
dtmr
All right. Well, great segment. Let's make some, make some money for the league and all our listeners. And then finally, we're going to finish up, give a little quick update on our NSFW dynasty league.
01:32:53
dtmr
So Now that we're back in the league, one thing that our league does that I think is kind of unique and kind of fun is that each week we track the weekly high and the weekly low. A lot of people may do that, but what we do is whoever scores the highest points in any week for the full year gets a payout.
01:33:08
dtmr
The title, the lowest score of any week ever, has to pay off for something for the toilet bowl. So it's kind of a fun little event that we keep track of throughout the year. And in week one, now that we're in here, the weekly high is our very own Wilkinson Bros. Ryan Wilkinson over here. They scored just over 161, 162, 1.4. So not a crazy high one, but a good starting point. So I like that. I mean, to borrow, I think we could potentially break at some point, but Ryan must feel pretty good. How do you feel about that?
01:33:38
Ryan
Yeah, feeling great after week one. I agree with you. I don't think it's going to stand the test of time, but it's definitely a good starting point and compared to the first week we had last year when we put up the lowest score that lasted until like week 13 or something, we're feeling real good going into this season.
01:33:53
dtmr
Yeah, it lasted till week 13. That is exactly right. You had, you actually scored nearly a hundred points more this week, this year than you did in the same week last year.
01:34:04
Ryan
Alright, yeah.
01:34:04
Joey
this
01:34:07
dtmr
And the low score this year is a team we probably get. No, I'm kidding. Clarksauce came up short. Their quarterbacks did not step up. And that is the inherent strength of their team that we thought so when they don't come through.
01:34:21
Joey
but Brock Bowers wasn't enough to carry them out of the cellar.
01:34:24
dtmr
Yeah, that i was carrying that limp body across the finish line.
01:34:27
Joey
That 8 targets and 50 yards was just not enough.
01:34:30
dtmr
But I will say it's not an egregiously low score. It was 88.08. So I do expect they'll be significantly worse.
01:34:37
Joey
Oh yeah, they'll be much worse than that.
01:34:38
Ryan
yeah that that'll get beat yeah
01:34:40
Joey
Yeah.
01:34:41
dtmr
I think that would probably, I think what looking at last year, I think of the 14 weeks, I think like ah eleven of the weeks were worse than that. So I don't, I don't expect that to stand, but a nice fun starting point.
01:34:50
Joey
That's pretty respectable.
01:34:52
dtmr
Yeah, that's not, ah that's a respectful, everyone did decent last week. Um, but yeah, and then we also had actually today, a, uh, a pretty big boy trade in our league. Um, and I want to get you guys thoughts on it.
01:35:03
Ryan
Yeah, that'll get beat.
01:35:03
dtmr
I, I'm pretty excited about it for both sides of it, but, uh, I'll run through with the traders. So Canel is on our, in our league, he received Malik neighbors and Marshawn Lloyd and Schluter received Brandon Ayuk a 20-25 first, 20-26 third, and Maddie Rizinski's 20-25 second, which is currently trending to be potentially in an earlier pick on how the first two weeks are going. So how are you guys feeling about that trade? What's your breakdown?
01:35:34
Ryan
So honestly, ah I actually would lean Schluter side here and I have a feeling the two of you are going to take the other side.
01:35:34
Joey
Go ahead.
01:35:41
Ryan
But, you know, Malik Nabors, he has Daniel Jones right now, Ayuk, you know, he's proven. um And then, I don't know, I just feel like the value with the 2025 first and the 2025 second.
01:35:56
Ryan
makes up for any difference, even if you think neighbors is going to end up better than Ayuk. Ayuk is still a really, really good receiver. So personally, I would take Schluter side of it.
01:36:07
Joey
Yeah, um I leave the shooter Schluter side as well. I definitely think this trade um favors him, but not by a wide margin. um I have strong conviction that he won the trade 60-40. And when you factor in that Chris is getting Malik neighbors and he's a Giants fan, then That that's enough for me to tip the scales. So so um You know, it's it's it's pretty even ah like you said the draft capital really makes a big big difference Ayuka is proven. He's in a good offense. He just got extended for a couple years um So Malik neighbors we have hopes and dreams that he turns into an incredible wide receiver and he very well may and frankly there's a
01:36:55
Joey
March on Lloyd is not a nothing asset either, to be honest. And I think with ah Green Bay cutting AJ Dillon or AJ Dillon going on the IR, they probably could have cut him. But AJ Dillon going on the IR and ah Josh Jacobs not being the healthiest back of all time. um Lloyd was out. He was ah injured week one. But actually,
01:37:20
Joey
he could be a ah ah pretty solid running back asset. So i would I would lean Schluter because of the draft capital, but it's it's it's pretty close. I think it was a pretty fair and and good trade on both sides.
01:37:32
dtmr
Yeah, I think we're all in agreement. I definitely lean Schluter as well. I love neighbors, as everyone knows, and like someone he he talked to about trading to me as well, but I wasn't going to give what he was asking for. for But I think neighbors has the upside to be something credible, but he does have serious quarterback concerns where IU is going to be tied to Purdy four for a long time. so like there's like To me, Schluter's getting a very, very safe floor. You know where you're going to get there, and he potentially just as much upside. Neighbors, if all things click, I think is going to be better, but you need everything to click. They were like, I used to already have a situation where he could be a top seven live receiver for years to come, especially next year if Devo happens to leave and their cap situation gets pretty tight.
01:38:20
dtmr
And then you get the draft capital on top of it, where like, Martianwood could be something, but he also fumbles the top. So he's getting hurt, he had a really ah bad off season, that and he was fumbling, he fumbled a lot in college, and he'd been fumbling in the preseason. And like, so like, he could be exposed, but we were also were very excited about AJ Dillon, and had to work out in Green Bay as well. So like, he's not a nothing asset, I agree, but I also,
01:38:45
dtmr
I personally rather have picks, in my opinion, than March on Lloyd. I think it's kind of where where I would get at that, just to kind of re-roll the dice on him. But he could certainly get the opportunity.
01:38:56
dtmr
And if and for some reason he gets the starting job at Green Bay, then I think this scale is kind of tipped back to Canals. But also, we've said this before, when you're making a trade and there's players you want, you typically, I wouldn't call this like ah a real overpay, but you definitely paid a little bit more just to get it who you want.
01:39:12
dtmr
And that's how you get trades done often. Like you can't worry about like, oh, this is exactly even or like a trade calculator.
01:39:14
Joey
Yeah.
01:39:19
dtmr
It says, i'm set like don't worry about like winning the trade if you're getting right and even. You can use those calculators to make sure that you're not setting something offensive. It's really kind of how I go about trading calculators.
01:39:29
dtmr
Like it just do like the normal person think I'm in the ballpark here. But typically if you want to get someone, especially an elite guy like neighbors who's a rookie and people are very attached to that, you have to pay a little bit up to make that happen.
01:39:40
dtmr
So I'm fine with what Kanell is paid. I do think as a result, Schluter got the better value, but I think it makes sense when you're trying to get players like this.
01:39:49
Ryan
Yeah, gotta go get your guy.
01:39:51
Joey
I agree.
01:39:52
dtmr
Yeah, anything else? Any other key matchups? How are you guys trending after one day in your matchups going into the weekend?
01:39:59
Ryan
Well, I started Josh Allen, who didn't do great, but was playing Coleman, who put up a dud, so not not a bad start.
01:40:08
dtmr
Okay. All right.
01:40:09
Joey
Yeah, I'm going to be in a dogfight with Adam, who I'll be in Atlantic City watching the games with on Sunday. So ah right right now, we're projected within two points of each other and are both all in one. So yeah, big matchup. You're going down.
01:40:28
dtmr
And um I'll be playing my neighbor a crop.
01:40:28
Joey
yeah
01:40:31
dtmr
I got off to a decent start. HN and Tyreek did not do much for him. And then Walker got hurt for him. So like things are trending my way right now. This is how I ended up doing a well and early season last year.
01:40:43
dtmr
So I'm just like my team plays great defense and or i let their team get hurt too. I'm not putting up massive scores, but you know, just surviving in advance and just trying to get through.
01:40:52
Ryan
It's the name of the game.
01:40:53
dtmr
So trying to make that happen again, but ah but yeah, but hopefully any other parting words for you guys at the league, but hopefully I get this way because I really need it.
01:41:04
Ryan
Let's get to week two.
01:41:05
Joey
Yeah, nothing for me.
01:41:07
dtmr
All right. Well, I want to thank you guys for listening. I know it was a marathon, a lot of content on a Friday for us celebrating, but good luck in your week two match-ups and get it done.
