Week 1 Matchups + GOAT Talk, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/9

Jay who you got? I have my guy, Jalen Hertz going up to Detroit. I think he's going to show off all the new weapons that he has and his legs. He's $6,800 in salary. So he wasn't, he wasn't breaking the bank to still have what I think has, you know, top five upside. The humidity in here is intense. Justin Herbert is my starter at the quarterback position. He is 7,600. He's in that matchup at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. I think that's a shootout potential game. And it's nice. We all have different quarterbacks. Yeah. At running back, I have Christian McCaffrey at 8500. When CMC is 8500, I feel like you got to get in on that before he shoots up to the 10K mark. And then I also have Joe Mixen, who right now on the DK Sportsbook, he is.

like minus 155 to score, as in they are projecting that a touchdown is coming from mixing and is over under yard. He's sitting at 89 and a half and I'll take the over. Yeah, I have Christian McCaffrey as well. Yeah, okay. In the DK sports book, he has the highest over under of receptions in the game, not for running backs, but of all players in the game. Makes sense. So a full PPR format. I'm going to take McCaffrey. I'm going to take Austin Echler and hope that your Herbert is passing the ball to Echler. Well, I have Echler as well, but never mind. McAfrey. Oh, wait. I do have Echler at 8200. My favorite part is between. Did you say you have McCaffrey? I said I do not have McAfee. Oh, so who's your other running back? DeAndre Swift. Oh, okay. At home against Philadelphia, 6,800. At wide receiver, I will be siphoning some of Jason's points because I have A.J. Brown at 6,400.

I have Elijah Moore at 5,100 in that Jets game to kind of counterbalance Lamar Jackson, what I think is going to happen. And then, I mean, he's 5,500, man, Michael Pittman. There is no way anyone doesn't have Michael Pittman on their roster. We all got him in there. Andy, you have him. So we all have Michael Pittman. I also have Elijah Moore. I think that he's a great play at 5100. So Mike and I, we've got that. The difference between Mike and I is going to be. decently significant here because I'm going from your A.J. Brown to my Randall Cobb, who is 3,400. He is the super affordable player to have this week. I will tell you, I have Randall Cobb and my flex. As do I. So we all have Randall Cobb. My wide receivers, AJ Brown as well, Mike, Michael Pittman as well. And then I'm going with Hollywood as my third wide receiver. My tight end is Johnny Smith at 2,800. And my defense, the Eagles at 3,100.

Yeah, my tie-in, I got Cole Camot, Cole Kamet, if you're not, if you didn't listen to yesterday's show, he's sitting at 3,700 and my flexes cop. And then I went with the dolphins. I penny-pinched at the defensive position, 2,600, but they're at home, and we're going to see, what's the truth about that Patriots offense? Is it as bad as we've been told? And I have. Kolkimo as well and the dolphins as well. Oh my gosh, are you serious? I am serious. But in my flex, I have Saquan Barkley who should catch a ton of passes. So I went with three past catching running backs for the full PPR format. He was 6,100. It was, I was between Hollywood and Sequin. So that was a, that'll be really heartbreaking to me when Hollywood outscores Sequin. That was fantasy face off presented by Draft King Sportsbook.

One of the toughest decisions with this mask, gentlemen, is whether I want to primarily look through the nasal passages or through the eye passages. I would just close your eyes. Yeah.
