I'm supposed to be doing a pristine auction read, but we got to hit that. Oh, breaking news. Breaking news. Breaking news.

28:17 ↗

Wait, wait, hold on. So, Todd Haley was on the hot seat. It was all the ruse. Why is this, why is this sad music? Hugh Jackson. Hugh Jackson has been fired. Adam Schefter reporting. I don't even know who's taken over yet. It's got to be, it's got to be Todd Haley. It's got to be Todd Haley. Yes. Yes. Free Baker. He is gone. Free Jarvis. Free them all.

28:50 ↗

Yes. Well, I will say this. Get the sad music out of here. Browns fans, I have one word for you. Congratulations. Oh, this is, this is great. You look, now they know how we felt now when we got rid of Mike McCoy. It feels good. It feels good. The burden has been lifted. Cleveland, you're free. Yeah, I still believe it will take. Go the way of.

29:18 ↗

Gus Bradley. Fly, fly home. I still believe that this will take an offseason with Haley in tow. I mean, these are not Haley's picked coordinators. I'm sure, I mean, if Haley ends up getting the job, right, you're not going to have the worst defensive coordinator in the league sticking around for next year. So, but it makes me excited in dynasty formats for the Browns. I think the arrow is pointing up.

29:47 ↗

Also, hey, Foot Clan, I want to tell you about Pristine Auction. Look, if you've listened for any time, you've heard Pristine Auction because we talk about them all the time, because they deserve to be talked about all the time. The Foot Clan, no, we get tweets nonstop about how, oh, I've completely redecorated my office, my bedroom, my game room, my studio, whatever, with, you know, framed, signed.

30:14 ↗

jerseys from NFL players, and it looks unbelievable. People don't realize how cheap you can get these things because it's an auctioned. Corey Davis signed Titans jersey yesterday for $58. T.Y. Hilton, $49. Kenan Allen signed jersey, $59. These things are amazing. You can make a completely free account. You can bid for free. You only pay if you actually win the item. So if you see some, bid whatever you want.

30:40 ↗

Check it out, and you will win stuff that your friends will come over. You'll be like, whoa, how'd you get it? How'd you say, hey, Mr. Moneybags. Can I auction this off? Can I auction off the sign Todd hit? How much are you going to give me to take it? I would start the bidding at one penny.

30:58 ↗

And I think that you might not get paid. I think I paid $5 for this. Anyways, I have a signed Hugh Jackson photograph here. I've bought two signed photographs from coaches before. Yes, you have. And they both have been fired. So don't, they're fantasy reaper. So anyways, check them out, pristine auction, P-R-I-S-T-I-N-E auction.com. LeBron James is named head coach. Upgrade. Hugh, I wish you well on all your future endeavors. Just not head coaching.

31:27 ↗

All right. Let's get back to business. Although, yeah, I mean, do you agree with Jason that is going to take some time for who? Oh, yeah. It's not this year. This is just the future is bright for Cleveland moving forward. Okay. Unbelievable. Somehow it happened. It's really not unbelievable. I check the box of fully expected.

31:55 ↗

Maybe sooner than expected. Lamar Miller, 18 for 133 and 1. We talked about that big game. Chris Carson, 25 for 105 and 1. What do fantasy owners do with Rashad Penny? Do they send it? Drop them. Just get rid of him. You said this yesterday. You said Rashad Penny is going to be the most owned irrelevant player for the longest time this year. Penny does not need to be on a roster. He doesn't, if he's on the waivers, you don't need to make a bid on him. He didn't play a snap.

32:20 ↗

yesterday. Thank you, Brooks. Didn't play a snap. He is not the guy you want. You can't trust the Seahawks all of a sudden to flip back to Mike Davis, but Chris Carson is the guy. If he doesn't get injured, he's going to get 20 plus carries. And I think that he's a guy that, you know, you can rely on. I'm starting to fully buy in. Three big names at the wide receiver position. Marvin Jones, Mike Evans, Sammy Watkins.

32:47 ↗

Let's throw Tyler Boyd in there too. Yesterday, big-time games. Marvin Jones, first game with over four catches this year. Seven for 117 and 2 on 10 targets as Minnesota next week. Mike Evans, 6 for 179 and 1, Fitzmagic. Ryan Fitzpatrick bringing them back from the depths of defeat to a much more narrow defeat. The question of who will start for Tampa Bay.

33:18 ↗

is it's a big question for fantasy players because the value for all three wide receivers of Tampa Bay goes up. Evans, Deshawn Jackson, Chris Godwin. Meanwhile, O.J. Howard will still get usage, but you can't call it reliable usage like when James Winston is the quarterback. So fantasy players need to keep an ear to the ground for that news.

33:42 ↗

Yeah, and I could see Fitzpatrick taking over. He could. I have no idea. I mean, this is one of those where now I'm actually kind of interested in maybe poking around at some of these wide receivers, definitely scooping up Chris Godwin if he's still on waivers and hoping for the Fitzpatrick changeover. I saw, sorry, I can't remember who mentioned it on Twitter, but it was very poignant of the decision comes down to this. If Dirt Cutter is.

34:10 ↗

making the decision for himself, he should play Ryan Fitzpatrick, as in like the safety of his job. If you're playing for the organization, you've got to let James Winston go and try and work it out. So we'll see where he goes. All right. Sammy Watkins, we talked about him. He might be the beneficiary of the Tyreek injury just with some more guaranteed production yesterday with Tyreek. He was 8 for 107 and 2 on 9 targets. He's at a red zone target in every game, except for week 2.

34:38 ↗

Tyler Boyd came back, back around 9 for 138 and 1 on 10 targets. Wide receiver won Tyler Boyd. Yeah, he's been great. Stefan Diggs, 10 for 119 in a touchdown, and Adam Thielen, 7 for 103 in a touchdown. Just made it. Just made it. Scarborough is 103. Garbage time. And then Larry Fitzgerald.

35:00 ↗

Hey, there is. Eight for 102 in a touchdown. He scored in two straight weeks. Twelve targets. That's right. And from what I heard, you know, the coaching staff has been trying to tell Josh Rosen, when you're in trouble, go to Larry. Go to Larry, Larry, Larry. And so I think at home, Larry looks good. But you don't need to hold on to them right now. I mean, it's one of those things where they're going into their by. Then they go on the road to Kansas City. I don't like that, even though you've got a bad defense.

35:30 ↗

On the road, Josh Rosen will get destroyed there. Kansas City defense will look great that week. All right. Also, David Moore, we'll talk about him in a little bit. Wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, four for 97 and a touchdown. Beckham had 11 targets. He's the 8 for 136. Yeah, he's heading into the buying week. At one point.

35:53 ↗

So there's an insight into your League of Record team, Andy. At one point we're watching these games is at the very end of the game. And the Giants have had about as bad an offensive production game as possible. They have three points. Very similar to all their games. Yes. Yes. They have three total points. They've been blown out. The game is just trash. And you have the wide receiver running back stack of Odell Beckham and Sequan Barkley on your team. And so you would think, oh, Andy had a bad week.

36:23 ↗

No. These guys were amazing. Both players in our format had, what, 17 points? Yeah. That's unbelievable. I mean, that was worst case scenario. The Giants stunk it up. Hugh Jackson ends his tenure with a 336 and one record. 336. What? Three. Whoa. And then there's an hand? Three wins. 36. Lawsons. And one time. Impressive. That's just like being punched in the face a lot.

36:54 ↗

I mean, that is... It takes a word. Three wins and one tie. I genuinely believe... In 40 games. I could not. I mean, no way, shape, or form could I coach a franchise? I'm not in and enough. I don't know enough. I feel like if you gave me 40 games, 40 games, could I win three of them? I think I got a chance, you know? I... Still the players on the field doing the stuff. It's just incredible.

37:23 ↗

How bad. And apparently, I don't know if this is true. I don't have time to vet it. This all happened live on the show. I just read a tweet that he is the sixth straight Browns coach to be fired after the Steelers game. After a game against the Steelers. That would be very interesting. Tight-in stud muffins. Travis Kelsey did Travis Kelsey things. That's pretty nice. Six for 79 and one. He's only going to get better.

37:53 ↗

from a target share perspective, although I don't know if he really gets better without Tyreek taking the top off the defense, but he will remain. He will be himself. He will remain Zeus. Jack Doyle, Eric Ebron. Yes. Both scored, but Doyle had six catches. Yeah, we'll talk about Doyle in just a second. Oh, we will? We will. Eric Ebron made it into this section because he scored the touchdown, but this line is far more reminiscent of the very beginning of the year where he was getting three receptions.

38:22 ↗

and he would score. You, the snap counts were horrific for, uh, for Eric Ebron. Graham Barfield tweeted out with Doyle back in the lineup. Eric Ebron saw his snaps cut to 18% versus Jack Doyle at 75%. Mo Allie Cox. The biggest, I've ever seen, who had a absolutely sensational one-handed touchdown grab? I mean, the dude is.

38:51 ↗

Frankenstein in a good weight. Yeah. Like this guy is... He's 8 foot 2, 700 pounds. You don't want to be Frankenstein in a bad way. Well, just usually Frankenstein. You're like, yeah, it's a monster. No, this guy is an awesome monster. I want him on my team. He out snapped Eric Ebron. Well, one touchdown per tight end. That was the distribution. That's true. But no, you need to be aware of that. The snap counts... Look, talent and opportunity. Ebron is talented. He made a great play on the touchdown catch. He's been a great tight end.

39:21 ↗

Snap counts freak me out. They freaked me out. Start of the week, Jared Cook, four for 74 and a touchdown. O.J. Howard, Greg Olson and Ed Dixon. Ed Dixon, two for 54 and one on two targets. Well, yeah, I mean, when you have a 43-yard catch, the targets go down because your drive is finished. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, sure. How many targets was Will Disley getting?

39:49 ↗

Very few, right? Yeah. Just took him to the house. He's already dead. I'm just saying. He's not playing. I let it go. Oh, when he was playing? Yes, it's the role. The role that Ed Dixon was. I thought you were crap on the guy who's on the IR. I want to be clear, though. The lack of passing attempts in Seattle is not because every time he throws the ball, they're scoring a touchdown. They have been intensely.

40:15 ↗

lowered this year with their offensive coordinator change and their commitment to the run. So yes, occasionally a drive is hyper efficient and they score a touchdown. But look at the second half of that game. Russell Wilson basically didn't touch the fantasy point meter for the entire second half of that game and it wasn't some mind-blowing blowout. Ed Dixon from this week on is a tight in one. I actually believe that. I mean, I, you know, all jokes aside. The, uh, the aforementioned Moe Allie Cox.

40:44 ↗

Was a tight end one on the week? Because all you have to do is catch one pass for a touchdown. It doesn't take much. David and Joku was zero? Zero this week. I guess we'll get into the duds. We'll talk about it then. But let's talk rising stars. Rising Stars of the Week. All right, my rising star this week is David Moore. Yeah. David Moore, Seattle, wide receiver. He has scored a touchdown in three straight games, four total in that span.

41:16 ↗

Double-digit fantasy points in three straight games. And look, I don't know. I mean, we kind of know what's wrong with Doug Baldwin. We know he's physically limited right now. And that he said that, you know, he's never going to, he's not going to be the same this season with the injury. But the targets aren't there. Tyler Lockett, David Moore, they seem to be the guys. And again, 17 total passes. So he's needed to score to be relevant. But David Moore, you can pick him up.
