68:01 ↗

And that's the question. Please. I think you might play next. What was it? Two targets for Chuba? Yeah. And 11 for Robbie Anderson. It's what we said, man. I mean, you, if Christian McCaffrey is back next week, I would be terrified to see those 11 targets evaporate back down to three or four. And if you don't have McCaffrey and you have Robbie, hope that McCaffrey misses one more week. Robbie comes through with a little more on another big target volume and then move him. Yeah.

68:29 ↗

Travis Kelsey, you don't care. Down game for the first time and forever. T.J. Hawkinson 4-4-42. So the last two weeks holding the jockstrap, he had targets. I mean, eight targets. He did come out in the middle of the week, and I almost brought it up. He came out and said, look, defenses are playing to stop me. Is that a concern with the way that these games are going or, you know? I think it's going to be one of those.

68:53 ↗

Some defenses are going to look to bracket him, and some aren't. We don't know the game plans of the coaches ahead of time, but not every team is going to sit here and go, we need to double cover T.J. Hawkinson. But in this game, I remember one of these targets down the field, really nice target, and just two guys right on him. Not worried. Are you done with the ton? Robert Tunyon, seven targets, but two for eight. He's been the tight-in, 42, 45, 34, and five.

69:21 ↗

in week two. I think you can probably move on. Yeah, I would much prefer Dawson Knox. All right. Didn't see the game we helped from from Evan Ingram. No, no, we didn't. They need to get Kidarius Tony the Ballmore. Yeah, he's probably do. He's good. And that team can compete. I mean, they're probably, they might be the second best team in that division. How long do you hold on to Kyle Pitts? You play them every week.

69:48 ↗

So if Dawson Knox is out there, Dosekies is out there, you're going to keep rolling with. Yeah, and that's not, I know it's hard now to defend Kyle Pitts. I'm defending him on merit. I'm defending him on targets. Yeah. So he's going to get into the end zone, and he's going to have more targets than other tight ends. Dawson Knox has flashed before, to be fair. Now, he's a now boom chakalaka because he's three weeks in a row. But there were, I mean, we spent off seasons talking about Dawson Knox before. Kyle Pitts has been target in nine targets for a tight end.

70:17 ↗

You're going to keep throwing him out there. He's got the Jets next week. So, no, I'm not playing, I don't think I play Max Williams over Kyle Pitts. No, you would, I'd stay the course with pits. You do need to score. I mean, it would be nice. I mean, Hawkinson had a couple non-scoring, non-catching games in a row, and we're sticking with him. So, yeah, I mean, Evan Ingram didn't do anything to make you want to stick with him. No. Tyler Higby had a tough game.

70:45 ↗

Kittle was 4 for 40 on 11 targets. Kittles a little bit of a, you should be worried just because the quarterback transition is happening this week. And he's been banged up. He heard his knee in the game, came in with an injury. So you're starting him every week, but you're doing it with a slight grimace. I think, man, if I could turn, if I had George Kittle and, like, I'm still in on Hawkinson. I'm still in on that target volume.

71:16 ↗

If I could flip George Kittle for Hawkinson Plus, I think at this point I would do it. That's very fair. You have the transition to Tray Lance and look, as excited as I am for Tray Lance, we know that generally mobile quarterbacks hurt their fantasy options. And rookie quarterbacks really hurt the fantasy options. Historically, rookies just, they don't sustain multiple pass catchers.

71:46 ↗

And so maybe it's Kittle, maybe it's Debo for, for Trey Lance. But you have this, you have a matchup against Arizona and then you have a buy week. So this is, these are two weeks that you don't really, you don't really want to start Kittle next week with, uh, with Trey Lance's first start. And then you can't play him with the buy week. I don't know. It's interesting. That's something I might be as far as like game theory of fantasy football.

72:10 ↗

that's something I might be willing to do. What's funny is after the by week and another week for Kittl to get healthy, they may be back to Garoppolo too. It's funny because we looked at the by week as the transition to Lance might happen there. But based on how Lance plays the next two weeks? The next week. Yeah. The next week. I mean, if he goes in and Shalax doesn't look ready. The only undefeated team in the NFL. Oh, I see. Yeah. Then it would be hard to pull it back. Are they the only undefeated team? They are. Interesting. Wait, who?

72:38 ↗

The Cardinals? Yeah, that's right. Really? No one else? I believe that is true. I believe that is true. And if I believe it, if I believe it, then it is correct. All right. We want to thank Pristine Auction for supporting the show. Justin Jefferson signed jersey $61. It ends Tuesday night. Chris Godwin. Sorry. Let's talk about Chris Godwin's jersey. What are you going to say? I'm going to say the Raiders are 3 and 0.

73:07 ↗

So they could still be 4-0 after tonight. So as of this moment, they are not the only undefeated team. All right. Sign up on pristine auction, use the code ballers. They're the only 4-0 team. That's right. And you can get a $10 credit. We're going to close this thing out. Waivers show tomorrow. Do not miss it. Lots of names to talk about. Like, send us your drop decisions. Because we're going to help you sort it out tomorrow. Goodbye.
