The hosts feast on yum-yum garbage

Late fantasy production sends the desk to the garbage button. Mike needed Jayden Daniels garbage, another host wanted Deebo Samuel garbage, and both receive it. The hosts call it the stinkiest garbage, dive headfirst into the dumpster, and gobble nasty brown banana peels. Direct video shows normal host shots rather than a literal dumpster or graphic.

moment

FootClan Friday awards COL 43 Well

The show restates its in-season Friday ritual of giving a $100 FantasyChamps gift card to a JoinTheFoot supporter and names COL 43 Well as the week's winner.

moment

Jason's fair trade is merely not egregious

Jason's League of Record roster has Michael Pittman benched behind Keon Coleman and Cedric Tillman. An unidentified host offers Travis Hunter and Nick Chubb for Coleman plus a third-round pick. Jason says the third is way too much, announces that he will reject the offer, but still calls it fair. Al laughs at the contradiction and agrees when asked; Jason then defines fair as simply not egregious. Video stays on the three-host desk without an Al cutaway.

moment

Mike ranks Tyquan Thornton with his heart

Mike gives Tyquan Thornton a 42-yard touchdown and a guaranteed ten points, then admits a touchdown guarantee is a heart decision rather than an analytical ranking. He adds that Thornton will catch a pass on the first drive. Direct video shows a normal Eagles-Chiefs matchup lower third, not a guarantee graphic.

moment

Kyle receives and returns a live Chiefs lookup

The hosts ask Kyle, if he is listening, when the Chiefs were last home underdogs in the Patrick Mahomes era. The desk says he is looking it up, and a few minutes later reports the answer: not since 2022. Direct video remains on the three hosts and shows no research graphic or Kyle inset.

moment

Jalen Carter keeps joining the wrong defense

During Falcons-Vikings analysis, a host says Jalen Carter will return and that the Eagles are difficult to run on. The desk catches the wrong matchup, hears 'I am a fool,' and jokes that Carter might have been traded before the speaker admits putting Philadelphia in Minnesota's place. After promising to remember which teams are playing, the later Tampa-Houston segment gives Tampa Bay both Vita Vea and Jalen Carter. Direct checks show ordinary matchup graphics, not corrective or trade graphics.

moment

Remote Kyle sleeps through East Coast prime time

Wondering how East Coast viewers handle a 10 p.m. Monday kickoff, the Arizona desk confirms remote Kyle is on microphone in Georgia. Kyle says he goes to sleep and watches the game in the morning before the hosts wake up. They tease him as a big football fan, then call him a very responsible father. Video remains on the three studio hosts with no remote inset.

moment

Mike and Jason wear the Faceoff clown wigs

Fantasy Faceoff defines its current crown-or-clown result: correct picks get a crown, incorrect picks get the look Mike and Jason have this week, and only a lone loser spins the Wheel. Direct video shows Mike and Jason put on and retain bright rainbow clown wigs while Andy remains bareheaded after a tie. A necktie and bow tie are discussed but never produced; no crown or Wheel spin appears.

moment

The Falcon's live count turns a king into a clown

One of the hosts now wearing a clown wig says the Falcon had reported three Ashton Jeanty receptions during the game, making the host believe he was a Faceoff king. Jeanty actually finished with two, so the Falcon's count was wrong and the wigged host lost. The transcript does not identify which of the two wig wearers tells the story, and video supplies no Falcon cutaway.

moment

Mike's Faceoff analysis is simply 'Russ stinks'

For his next Fantasy Faceoff pick, Mike takes Russell Wilson under 217.5 passing yards. After Andy and Jason's statistical reasoning is invoked, Mike presents his own data: 'Russ stinks,' repeating that as the basis for the under. The pick later loses and sends Mike to the following episode's Groundhog Day Wheel punishment.

summary

Episode notes

Andy, Jason, and Mike are named and visibly present throughout, with no missing host or Jay Griz. The opening briefly shows three human producers beneath the Deucers Alley sign, but no seat identity is inferred. A late Deebo Samuel touchdown and Jayden Daniels production turn garbage time into a feast: the hosts hit the garbage cue, call it the stinkiest garbage, dive headfirst into the dumpster, and gobble nasty brown banana peels. FootClan Friday then awards the recurring $100 FantasyChamps gift card to COL 43 Well. Jason's League of Record lineup puts Michael Pittman on the bench behind Keon Coleman and Cedric Tillman. An unidentified host has offered Travis Hunter and Nick Chubb for Coleman plus a third-round pick; Jason says he has not rejected it yet but will, calls it fair, then admits that by fair he means merely not egregious after Al laughs at the contradiction. Direct video stays on the ordinary host desk, with no Al cutaway. Mike gives Tyquan Thornton a 42-yard touchdown and guaranteed ten points, while explicitly separating that heart decision from analytical rankings and adding a first-drive catch. Kyle is assigned a live research question about Patrick Mahomes-era home-underdog games; the answer returns that Kansas City had not been a home dog since 2022, reinforcing the producer booth's research function. The Atlanta-Minnesota discussion then imports Jalen Carter and the Eagles into the matchup, triggers 'I am a fool,' and is followed by a promise to remember which teams are playing. Minutes later, Tampa Bay is described as having Vita Vea and Jalen Carter, turning the mistaken defender into an episode callback. Both checked sequences are normal matchup shots, not correction graphics. The late Monday doubleheader sends the desk to remote Kyle in Georgia. He says he simply sleeps through a 10 p.m. Eastern start and watches before the Arizona hosts wake up, earning sarcastic 'big football fan' treatment and sincere recognition as a responsible father. Video shows no remote inset. Fantasy Faceoff supplies the visible finale. The rules promise a crown for a correct projection, a clown look for an incorrect one, and a Wheel spin only for a lone loser. Direct video shows Mike and Jason put on bright rainbow clown wigs while Andy remains bareheaded after a tie; the proposed tie or bow tie never appears, and no crown or Wheel spin is shown. One wigged host had believed he was king because the Falcon reported three Ashton Jeanty catches, but the official two makes the Falcon wrong and leaves the host in clown hair. Mike's next pick is Russell Wilson under 217.5 passing yards, justified against the others' statistics with only 'Russ stinks.' The later Groundhog Day Wheel punishment grows directly from that failed choice. Routine matchup advice is omitted.

The Fantasy Footballer Studio is sponsored by Walmart. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. Friday, September 12th, Jason Moore, Mike Wright, Andy Holloway, the fantasy footballers, back with you. Deucers Alley is full of producers. And we got a show for you today.

0:56 ↗

More matchups for week two. We have news to catch you up on. We have a game to recap. Mm-hmm. And a lot's going on in the world of fantasy football. We're going to try to help you with your start-sit decisions today. And it's a good time to remind you that if you venture to our YouTube, YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers, you can subscribe, watch the show, and most importantly. Click that bell so you know when Mike is live one hour before kickoff on Sunday as we prepare those final starts hit decisions for week number two. How are you two gentlemen doing this Friday morning? It was a, I thought it was a very fun game. I mean, it was strangely one-sided and yet the score, like the magic of football is that one team can feel like they're dominating. And you're like,

1:52 ↗

oh they're down one touchdown how is this even possible and and yet know that they wouldn't win yes yes it was like both of those were true of course and i mean some some big performances and unfortunately some big injuries a couple of uh really sad injuries yeah you had jaden reed on a touchdown catch which was a great touchdown that he sold out for caught secured it survived the ground his collarbone did not survive the ground and then unfortunately um for fantasy for him and and for the packers that was a penalty on the play yeah which a lot of times you see those and you're like come on come on that was a penalty you saw that in super penalty yeah yeah that's it made a full choke hold i like okay that's fine yeah that so he got hurt that was that was very frustrating and then um

2:46 ↗

Austin Echler. Even sadder. Achilles' tear at the very end of the game, he is going to be done. And we may not, we might not see Austin Echler against. I would, I would doubt it. I mean, we've talked a lot over the years about Achilles' injury specifically for running backs are darn near impossible to come back from. If you do, it's usually like a two-year process before you look the same at 30 years old. Yeah. I'm guessing, and Austin Echler is a friend of the show, absolutely adore him. How you could see it on his face. He was just, yeah. He was just sitting there basically saying like, come on, man. Yeah. Come on, man. Yeah. Was a big time. And you knew it right away. That's one of those injuries. You don't always know with an ACL. It can look like it or an MCL. But with Achilles, you don't need them to go usually. You're like, you don't need them to go get an MRI to know exactly what happened. It's like, oh, that was an Achilles. It feels like.

3:44 ↗

I don't have any data, but it feels like a really bad year for Achilles. Like it just feels like across all sports. Like we've had a lot of Achilles. Oh, you're like basketball. Like other sports? Like if there, yeah, basketball. And we just have had, we've had to see that quite a few times in athletes. I don't know if they're training different or it's just. Yeah. It's just what happens. Leading receivers for the Washington commander, Zachert 6 for 64 and a touchdown on eight targets. Debo 7 for 44 and a garbage. Do we have the button? Oh, we do. Oh, the garbage land. Yeah, was the stinkiest of garbage. We were in our, our, uh, in our live chat with the office and I, you know, Mike needed some garbage from Jaden. I wanted some garbage from Debo and we were begging for it and we both got. We got that yum yum garbage in that dumpster head first. Gobble up all those nasty.

4:41 ↗

Brown banana peels. We also should talk about the fact that this, you know, the Echler injury happened late in the game. They could not run the football at all, including Jane Daniels. I mean, the Packers defense is a swarming. Yeah. It feels like they're playing with an extra three guys on the field at all times right now. And Mike is still not full time. No, it's wild. Goodness. But one of the big stories, we had kind of said on Wednesday, we would play basically everybody over Bill. just didn't feel like the matchup for Bill was good. Yesterday, Jason did come out and say that he, I'm going to, let me just fill in the blanks here. You said that if Washington had a good game that you felt like Bill would have a good game. They did not have a good game. Bill did not have a good game. Well, Bill only got four carries. What kind of surprised me, and you saw this the week prior, you know, against the Packers where it's like the heavier running back.

5:37 ↗

is the one that you kind of need to use in this game. So I was just surprised they didn't go to Bill a little bit earlier. Obviously, you got down quick and then you have to love his old guys. This is exactly what I expected for Bill in this game, that there was almost going to be no opportunity to run the football. And third downs would be Echler. And, you know, we'll see brighter days ahead for Bill. Certainly, Echler's going to be gone. You might see Chris Rodriguez back to the active roster. He'll be active. Yeah, we'll sort through the mess as we get to the waivers. Seems like they could use Brian Robinson pretty bad right now. I mean, it's like Jeremy McNichols will probably take on the pass catching role. So while the people who drafted Bill are seeing a new opportunity in front of you, just we'll see. I'm going to pump the brakes on it of like everything goes to Bill. And this team, Washington probably needs to trade for a running back.

6:32 ↗

Yeah, they may do that. We have on the other side, look, this game could have been much bigger for Jordan Love. He had 2992 and 2, barely missed Matthew Golden Goose, who had two deep targets that were just barely misses. They would have been long touchdowns. I think you're going to see a lot of big games for Jordan Love this year. He was very close to my fantasy MVP. He was very close to a my guy. They were chucking it too. That's why. That's the exact reason. The willingness to the play calling in Green Bay is outstanding. The fact that, look, you can't expect Jordan Love and Matthew Golden to be on the same page instantaneously. I think that changes over time, especially now that Jaden Reed is out and you're going to have to spread the ball around. But they just have so many weapons. Tucker Kraft, six for one, 24, and a touchdown. Seven targets and really looks like a top five tight-in candidate rest of the season.

7:32 ↗

Tucker Kraft, look, we're only two weeks in, but I mean, over the draft season, it was like for me, the big three guys. And then after that, I just wanted to wait on Tucker Kraft. And that is feeling pretty good right now. The dude is just, he is a yak monster. Like he'd. His yards, he just, he goes rumbling and stumbling down the field and he's very hard to tackle. Number one last year in yards after catch, yards after catch, he very much. He's got that George Kittle in him of like, I'm, I'm just going to, I'm not afraid of any of you. I'm stronger. I'm going to hit you. I'm going to keep running. It's, it's great. Josh Jacobs obviously was awesome. And my favorite.

8:12 ↗

Obviously, they had to get more receivers involved once Jaden Reed went down. So you saw both tight ends get involved. You saw Don Tavian Wix out there. You're talking about a hands team. Dude, that's what I was going to bring up. The funniest, the funniest thing to me was in Slack last night. When you point out, you say, what? Don Tavian Wix is on the hands team? Like, that's right, people. The team believes that Wix can catch, which he did. Amy, he got four of his six. He was four for 44. It was. This was the normal Green Bay Packers. It spread out. Jay, you said, you're like, who do you think is going to catch the touchdown? If you bet Romeo Dobbs, then you won. You got your touchdown. We'll see if the targets are more consolidated a bit here, though, with the Reed injury. You're going to see more Savion on the field as well with Jaden Reed leaving. He looked explosive. Yeah, he's got, they'll probably get him the ball in some. Get him some better cleats. Some yak. Yeah. Opportunities. All right. It's Friday. Put Clan Friday.

News and notes from Around the League. Presented by Progressive Insurance. Just to conclude the conversation, Jaden Reed was formally put on IR with a fractured collarbone. They expect six to eight weeks and back towards the end of the year. Yeah. Joanne Jennings still not practicing on Thursday. Shoulder injury worked on the side.

10:17 ↗

James Cook, good news, upgraded to a full practice on Thursday, just kind of got a day off, and he's back out there with the hamstring. Same with Malik Neighbors, upgraded to a full practice on Thursday. And, well, this is kind of how we live our lives in Miami, but Mike McDaniel says Jalen Waddle should be available for week two. But not Darren Waller. How many plays will Waddle be available for? How many plays is he hit? Three and a half plays, and then the rest of the game once he comes back. Okay. What are you hearing about Xavier Worthy? Limited practice. I personally can't imagine that he plays this week. And honestly, if he plays, I would be really, really scared to put him out there. Get at least another week of practice. Get used to his new armor that he's going to have to wear on that shoulder.

11:06 ↗

But overall, it is good news. It's great news. It means you don't expect him to miss four weeks. They're not putting him on IR, obviously. They don't have a designation of very limited in practice, but that would be my assumption is that he was like there. But, you know, his injury would, I mean, it would be shocking to me if he plays this week. All right. What else do we have going on? We have Brock Bowers. We're on Brock Bowers watch. Brock Bowers is serious. So they're a Monday night football game, which made it real tough. We had people saying, do I start Tucker Kraft last night? We don't have any information about Brock Bowers. I think the general wisdom was you wait for Brock Bowers. And then it's like, whoops, craft goes off. However, because it's a Monday night football game, that means that yesterday's practice report, which was Thursday, is really just.

11:57 ↗

the normal Wednesday in the cycle where a lot of veterans or anybody banged up, you get the day off. I saw more information that led me to believe that it's possible. This is like a PCL sprain that could be a week's long injury. So really, truly, right now, we're just on Brock Watch. You have to. If you've got Brock Bowers, you need to be on the waiver wire today, get someone to replace him. And then keep in mind, you might need to replace him on Sunday not knowing. you know, unless you want to, you know, take the shot at Myers or something. There is an injury blitz episode. We release it every week for Join the Foot.com supporters in premier tier and above. Matthew Betts, our injury expert, we'll go over that. It comes out this afternoon and you'll want to avail yourself of his opinions in terms of any breaking news and updates. Dallas Goddard did not practice again. Evan Ingram, though, was upgraded to a full practice. Oh, look at that. So Evan Ingram may be playing some football this week.

12:53 ↗

We get to see another week. And then I just got this news coming through that Rashad Bateman was not present at practice on Friday. Interesting. And we saw, same with Patrick Ricard, still missing time to full back there. Quinchon Judkins did participate in full practice on Thursday. So he's going to practice him full Thursday on Friday. There was a report that he will play on Sunday without limitations. Really hard to imagine. I'm starting to have the ability to imagine him playing a bunch. So I have him in two or three leagues. And in one of those leagues, it's a question now. It's like, oh, because I don't have good options. And so I don't sit there and go, quench on Jenkins, you've got to get him in your lineup immediately. Because what if he gets the workload? But if you don't have any good options. Do you want a bad question? Yeah. Do you want to feel pain? That's all I want right now.

13:46 ↗

How about I ask you Quinn Sean Judkins if he's active and starting? Of course. Or Kenneth Walker. I'd play Walker. I would play Walker as well. No, we're not there yet with Kenneth Walker. Let's take you a little easy. Nick Chubb over Quinchon right now? Yes. Yeah. So he's still a desperation running play for week one. I look process wise. Results may vary. Quinshonson Jenkins. Right, right. The results may vary. He literally could have. Five carries and two touchdowns. Side effects include nausea. Vomit. Vomit. Diarrhea. You don't know. So, I mean, for me and my teams, I'm playing a guy who I know is going to touch the ball 10 plus times. All right. That was News & Note, sponsored by Progressive Insurance.

14:48 ↗

Yesterday we covered the Jags, Bengals, Giants, Cowboys, Bears, Lions, Rams, Titans, Patriots, Dolphins, 49ers, Saints, Bill's Jets, and the Seahawks Steelers ball games. So if you want to hear us break those games down for fantasy, just tune into yesterday's show, and you can. It's just sitting there waiting for you. All right, today we're starting off the Cleveland Browns with Quinn Sean Judkins, O-N-1, Traveling to Baltimore for the Battle with the Ravens, who are O-N-1. and at home and awful loss angry very angry and will really really easily win this game Vegas line Baltimore minus 11 and a half oh man that do it Andy the over no no no

15:33 ↗

Do it. No, not even close. Okay. I don't believe it. I'm taking them to cover, though, 11 and a half. I'm not. Really? I had it, I had it in there forever in our, in our weekly picks. I'm like, it's 11 and a half. You always take the points. And I'm like, eh. Is that it's in Baltimore? I think. It's 11 and a half. The overrunner is 44. That gives the Brown 16 points. It's a tough situation to be like, hey, I'm going to go chase. Dylan Samson or Judy Tillman Fanon. I don't like it. I really don't. I just, you could have some targets. You can have some high passing volume. I think that is something you can bet on. But I'm not sure that they are going to have a lot of first downs in this game. You may see, I'm just not on the brown side. I'm still fine with the volume. Joe Flacco threw the ball 45 times last week. He's probably going to throw the ball. 45 would be the floor.

16:32 ↗

I would say. Like this could be a 50 attempt Joe Flacco game. So there will be, there may not be touchdowns, but, you know, you're talking five. How many attempts last week? Forty-five. So out of 45 attempts, we were not happy with Judy. We were not happy with Nujoku. We got the touchdown for Tillman. We were happy with Tillman. We were happy with Tillman. And Fanon, who no one started, but now they're going to try to start. Nojoku was fine. He was a little disappointing because we hoped for a big week. But then also you had fan. Fanon was very good. What was he? He was three for 37. I'm not, I'm not fine with that. Okay. And I don't think you should be either, Jason. I think. Where's your standards, man? Tideon 23 in week one. Where's the Jalen Warren line for David. Three for 37? He's not a running back.

17:16 ↗

Three for 37? No, that's miserable. I didn't remember it was that bad. Okay. Okay. Well, I'm correcting you. That being said, I do think you look at last year, the Ravens defense. Would you say it was good last year? Yeah, they have a good defense. But for fantasy purposes, because they've got such a great offense, teams have to throw a lot. They were 23rd against quarterbacks, 28th against wide receivers. And so if Joe Flacker goes out there and throws the ball 50 times, someone's catching those balls, whether it's Tillman, I think, is a pretty fine play. Judy, okay, Najoku. I'm still probably starting all of those as kind of, Najoku's probably in, and the wide receivers are flex options that you've just got to look at who else you have. The real question here is people spent hard on Harold Fanon, and that one feels a little scary for me to throw right into the lineup after one week against the...

18:07 ↗

Bengals who we knew going in are historically bad against tight-in. I would play Fanon over Najoku. You would play Fanon over. That was going to be the question. Yes, I would. Because I think the way they utilized Fanon in the types of little designed stuff in the flats and out of the back field, it's just the junk little guaranteed targets. And I feel better about that right now. I don't hate that take. I would, I'd still play Nojoku, but I think they are both playable as. top 12-ish tight ends. All I know is that, yeah, you're right. Somebody's going to have a, there'll be a couple players that have a good game for the Browns, but not all of them. Right. Yeah, no, certainly. You're not going to be happy with Judy, Fanon, Najoku, and Tillman. So the question is now running backs. You've got Dylan Samson last week had eight targets.

19:01 ↗

If you're in a full PPR, you're off, you're off everybody. All of them this week. I'm off all of them this week. We're not going to get to run the ball that much. I mean, you could roll the dice with Samson hoping you get targets, but I don't know what the Judkins utility will be. I feel like it's a wait-and-see weekend for Cleveland. Yeah, I would prefer that route. If I were to start one, including Judkins, it would be Samson. I mean, Samson last week was the running back 16 in half PPR. You know, when you get eight receptions, eight for 64 is a good wide receiver. Yep.

19:30 ↗

So they're going to have to throw the ball a lot. I'm fine starting Samson. You play Lamar, you play Henry, you play Zay Flowers, but is that the end of the story for Baltimore this week? Yeah. Isaiah likely is practicing. We will see what his status is going to be. I don't think he was not. Yeah, I think he's still working on the side. I think he had his helmet. which was like a big deal. Okay. So I don't think he's like practicing. Those things are pretty heavy. They're pretty heavy, especially if you put that guardian cap on. You know what? He was working out in front of some people. NFL needs to institute a universal everyone must wear a guardian cap rule because honestly it might be better for players, but when no one else does and one guy does.

20:14 ↗

You just look so stupid. You just look so stupid. You are very massive. Fabian and Dobbs did it. Yeah, so we just want, I want them all because then it's like, hey, you know, you're all looking the same. Yeah, or just can we just get a better, can we just get a better helmet? Right. I think they've been trying. Yeah, Denver. I think if we had a path to that, the NFL after a old concussion cake, they would have figured it out. I'm not sure the guardian caps are. yeah i don't know are affected i don't know if they are we don't know i remember reading some stuff there might be some marginal tiny bit of data difference but um i feel like they can make them look better though like the same exact guardian cap i feel like they're doing a bad job with the logo on it or something i don't know i think it's because they have giant heads jason it's bumpy right so they have to like put a sheet over the bumpiness and they're doing their best jason they're trying to protect their brains i'm just telling them to protect all of them

21:10 ↗

All right, we are, we're going to take a break. We'll be back the rest of the matchups coming up, starting with Denver. Lowe's Nose Sundays are for football.

The Denver Broncos limped to a victory in week one. They are one and no. They traveled to Indianapolis who looked great in week one. Also want to know. Vegas has Denver one and a half point road favorites over under a 43 and a half. Didn't get the offensive performance from the Broncos we were hoping for in week one, but the Colts got everything they could have ever dreamed.

22:15 ↗

from Daniel Jones, who was very, very, very good in week one. Johnny Taylor disagrees. Johnny Taylor disagrees that Daniel Jones was good? No, he disagrees that Daniel Jones got the production that everyone wanted. Right. He stole from Johnny Taylor. Right at the goal line. You know, I would have made a bigger deal about that because I've got Jonathan Taylor and two touchdowns vultured. Really, really upsetting. However, Jonathan Taylor had... two opportunities to get the touchdown before they gave Daniel Joe. And that second one, it was like he, I couldn't believe Jonathan Taylor didn't get in and one guy tackled him. So shame on you for allowing that tackle. Daniel Jones was a punishment and a deserved punishment. Yeah, Daniel Jones, two touchdowns on the ground, 22 for 29 through the air last week. Tough task facing the Denver defense, certainly. By the way, the last time Jonathan Taylor played the Broncos, he had that huge long.

23:12 ↗

touchdown run where he fumbled it. Oh, dropped the ball backwards. Before he crossed the goal line. He does not want to get in there. Yeah. But I did, I did. Look, I said it would be Tyler Warren getting some of these tush pushes. It was Daniel Jones that got them. That will be something in play all year long when you have Daniel Jones because, hey, they worked. They worked. And that's what happens. But Jonathan Taylor did look good in week one. Let's talk about the quarterbacks. Bow Nicks. A lot of people drafted him fairly high. Is he right back out there?

23:39 ↗

completely giving him a pass on the disappointing week one. Is that your approach, Mike? Are you looking to find somebody else? He was the quarterback 27 in week one. There were two different questions. Sorry, go on. I am putting him right back out there. I am not giving him a pass of like that was a really pathetic opening performance of just all these trick shots. of bow necks. A bunch of dude perfect stuff. Yeah, like he's on the run. He's like, check this out. You're like, boom. Bro, set your feet. Set your feet. You're not Patrick Mahomes yet. Just set him. It really felt like he got full of him. Set him. Get your mechanics in and make a good throw. So I'm not giving the past, but I am going to play him again this week. It'll be really interesting to see how, because.

24:31 ↗

The Broncos look terrible and the Colts looked great. But the Colts also played the Dolphins who look terrible. So it's like, is the Colts defense somewhat responsible for what we saw against the Miami Dolphins? We don't really know yet. We didn't expect the Colts to have a great defense. But I think there's an opportunity here for them to present difficulties for the for the Broncos in the Colts. This is they were they were in Indy. So this is they stayed home home and home here for Indy. Right. So wide receivers for the Colts. Michael Pittman's last three games, nine for 109 of the score, six for 72, six for 80 and a score. Now the Denver Broncos defense is different. Do you have, Jay, you're kind of now the resident Michael Pittman. I am. I've got him. I've got him everywhere. I believe in him. I think he's going to be a wide receiver to this entire season. He's still a play. And he is not.

going to be in my lineup this week. Okay. Who are you putting in over? So currently, and this is my League of Record roster, I have Pittman on the bench, I have Keon Coleman and Cedric Tillman in ahead. The Broncos defense is really, really good. Pat Sertan came up on the injury report with a groin, so I'm monitoring that. But assuming Sertan is there with the Broncos defense, I think Pittman's going to be great this year. This is not a matchup I'm looking forward to playing him. I think I'd go Pittman there. Stefan Diggs didn't even play half the snaps. He's got targeted. Yeah, no. Well, sure, but Pittman had a better game last week. Sure. Keon Coleman. I would continue putting Keon Coleman in ahead of Pittman. That's one of the players I have in my lineup ahead of him. I made you a trade offer for him. I did see that. I have not rejected it, but I'm going to reject it, but I haven't yet. It was a fair offer.
