Week 3 Studs & Duds + Injury Reactions, Trade Talk - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/28

Fantastic. I almost forget that they have the number one overall pick right now. But Tyler Shuck. Yeah, four more touchdowns. He is him. He's the QB3 right now. He is him. QB3 right now. Yeah, this is a week where we were putting, we were putting to the test, Bryce Young and Tyler Shuck. And one of them passed the test. And the guy who passed the test was also.

Everything I said about the defensive front of the Raiders held true. And he still produced. That's what's impressive. And by the way, it doesn't seem like anybody can cover Chris Olavé ever. He is always. Because he's awesome. He's always awesome. He always has been. This is just like they finally have someone in the team who can get in the ball appropriately. Like the story of Chris Olavi was.

was so it was on its way of just a wasted career lost to injuries because Derek Carr and company keep giving him freaking hospital balls but the fact that we're seeing what he's doing now and he's he is elite like he is an elite wide receiver and he's elite fantasy football option and we want John's now elite and Tyson's elite and Valle's elite and everyone's elite that Chuck is throwing to it's going to be it's going to be great what's funny the game

When we're watching football, we're usually watching nine screens at once and trying to, you know, take everything in. We're watching it together. When an elite, when one of the greats, when Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase has some crazy sideline ball, you just know, you're like, we just give them the benefit of the devil. We're like, of course. Yeah, when Larry catches the ball, you go, oh, there's no chance he got the feet down. With those guys, you just go.

No, he got the feet down. You know he did. He's perfect. He's one of those. That's Chris Olave right now. Like he had one of those sideline balls where it's like, no way he got that. No way he got his feet. And it's like, no, of course he did. He's Chris O'Lave. Yeah. I mean, the saints are one and two, but it both of their losses went down to the wire pretty much. Aaron Rogers, 290 and 3 for the first time since week 14. Crazy. Had some down field throws. Oh, no. He's, he's bombing it out. Yeah. I mean, this was, this was a good.

I mean, that was one of the almost subset, both of those games. Yeah, you did get, you got both almost subsets, right? Yeah, the, the Steelers and the Raiders. Where did the production go to? Does that make you three for four so far? Three for four, yeah. 75% is pretty good with crazy upsets. But Rogers, yeah, he got it done. I mean, it was very spread around. Warren was, Warren was good in the passing game.

Metcalf had a touchdown. Roman Wilson had points. You got Friarmouth, Darnell, Washington. No, Muth sucked, man. Oh, yeah, he hurt you on your prize picks. Yeah, he caught two passes on the matchup against the Bengals. Here's some names that you do recognize. Top five scores at running back Gibbs, Bijon, Henry, Walker, CMC. I mean, just like, that feels automatic. It's the first round. So the ones I actually want to talk about.

Jeremiah Love and Jalen Warren. Those are the two. The Cardinals made a concerted effort to give almost everything to Jeremiah Love, which was awesome. And he had a big game, 21 for 90, and then scored in the receiving game again. If he didn't watch the game with San Francisco, the Cardinals were hanging. Yeah, 3630. It was a very tight game that the 49ers, they're the better team, so they took it at the end. But.

making this transition and making Jeremiah love. I mean, imagine. Imagine taking a top five NFL running back in the draft and then actually making him the engine of your team and good things happening. We did get a quick injury update on Baker Mayfield. The MRI came back, no fracture, no ligament damage, no tendon damage. Three weeks or so, max, for Baker being out. So that is good for the bad bucks.

give some numbers to Jeremiah Love being more involved. Jeremiah Love had 21 rush attempts. Tyler Alger had two. This is exactly what you want. You want to see a top five pick getting all of the work. And I would assume like this is, it probably won't be that crazy drastic, you know, 21 to 2 going forward. Should be. Yeah, it should be. And I think this is prescriptive of like the change has been made and he's going to be.

close to a bell cow back going forward, and Algier will spell him, not split with him. The routes were still very close between Jeremiah Love and Tyler LG. Like, we stop it. Trade for him. Stop it. Trade for Jeremiah, I love it. The Cardinals have a good enough offense to keep up and a bad enough defense to never win. They're going to be in situations where you can't put Alger on there. Well, they've got a superstar wide receiver as well. Michael Wilson. You darn right. 17 targets. 17 targets.

Yeah, I played against me this week. I only turned it into 89 yards. And a score. Yeah, 11 for 89 in the touchdown. Great game. Base all Tudin, Javante Williams. Javante looked good. He did better this week than the other weeks combined. Yes. They finally had it going a little bit. And then Tudin with the donation touchdown. Did you see the talk?

I mean, I saw the brief conversation from Liam Cohen where he's like he wanted somebody else to have the touchdown. No, did you see what? He's not wrong. And I think he might have even been maybe a little annoyed. But Trevor Lawrence said, yeah, he said I wanted to give two in the touchdown for the fantasy people. It's the dumbest thing I've never seen. I'll tell you what, that smells bad. That's, oh, like betting bad? I'm not saying that. No, I know. I'm just saying it smells no matter what it is.

It smells bad. If you didn't see it, eight plus minutes left, wide opening zone for Trevor Lawrence, takes a knee up 35 to 6 or something, or 28 to 6. And then, you know, Tooting scores on the next play. You can't do that with eight minutes left. No, not with eight. If you're Lawrence, you go, what happened? You go, total brain fart. I thought there was. Two minutes left. I thought the clock was much lower than it actually was. That, which I assume that's what really happened.

But for you to not just admit it is strange. It did seem tongue-in-cheek. You're probably right. That's probably what happened. Check this out. Bayshaw-Tooten. Because you look dumb no matter what. So there are... Here are the top six players that have hit 15 plus miles an hour more than 10 times this year. Number one is Bayshaw-Tooten 15 times. He's fast. Gibbs, Walker, Bejohn, Hampton, and then Keaton Mitchell. I talked about Tootin on the Sunday Live of... It was like...

If you're going to trade for him, you've got to do. Like people are, he's still kind of buried. The hype for Bayshall Tutin was very, very strong over the off season. I loved it. I was fully in on it. And then you're looking at the snap shares and you're like, well, Crodd, which there still is some timeshare. I believe Crod had a touchdown. They're kind of splitting that work. But Bachel Tutin is, he's getting the majority of the work. And he's a good player. And it's a pretty strong offense. So it.

He is, you know, I like the call to try and trade for love. I think that might be a little difficult, but Bachel Tutin, it's possible you can still get him. Yeah, and then Jaylon Warren, I mentioned him briefly, but he was everything for the, he was everything and looked great for the Steelers. Yes. Including a gigantic, huge run that then got called back on a dumb penalty. And then he fell. And then another huge one. Well, the reason was.

Two plays later, he did the exact same thing at a breakway touchdown. And his legs were so tired that he tripped. Like he couldn't get his foot up. He turfed himself. If you look at the slowmo of that, it looks like he hit a landmine. On the way to, and he would have scored. Rico was out. So TBD, if this is still, like that's how they'll move forward with Warren. Probably will. They might be. They might. Rico may be going the way of Crod. Might be.

J.S.N. Drake London. Garrett Wilson. Michael Wilson. Tomar Chase. By the way, what is it? J.S.N. Olave. Garrett Wilson, the trifecta in Ohio State. Pretty good week for those guys. Also a pretty good week for the guy who actually plays for Ohio State, Jeremiah Smith. Oh, dude. Four touchdowns. Who was the other guy on the team with all those players? There was another one. Don't worry about it. Marvin.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Yeah. Which, to be honest, for Marr. Pretty good game for Marr. 40 yards? Did you see the route where he caught the pass, too? He actually ran hard and stuff. Yeah. Good job, Marv. These days he'll be a real boy. J.S.N. London, Wilson, Michael Wilson, Jamar Chase. Chase was 9 for 98. Higgins was 6 for 90 with the amazing catch. Kristen Watson on Thursday night football, Matthew Golden. Both had big weeks. You had a big week for Kanata Mumfield, which.

will be an interesting conversation tomorrow on the waiver show in light of the Puka situation. You know, Ferguson, it's not a hot swap for Higby. Ferguson has more athleticism and is more of a typical wide receiver style player. If it becomes, like if Ferguson's out for a while, I don't know, Mumfield's probably worth a fab or two. Could be. We'll see.

CD Lamb had a nice week again and then double digits for Pickens for the first time. Slow start for Lamb, but he got it together in the second half and absolute malpractice for the Cowboys to not to call the time out with that much time left. They should have gone to overtime. It was, I mean, I can't even. I don't think anybody thought that could happen in six seconds and then they did. Dave, that was there shouldn't have been really. They screwed it up. I mean, they shouldn't have had six seconds. It's ridiculous. I agree. It was a complete.

mismanagement of the situation. Kittle Bowers Fanon, Kenyon Sadiq with the boss diving touchdown and Juan Johnson with two touchdowns in this one. Higby eight for 62 and one with the stat line we expected from Ferguson, went straight to Higby. He could be an interesting temporary start if we find out Ferguson can't play. The Sadiq breakout was very fun. He caught seven of eight targets.

had 105. He had the touchdown. And that was on just 58% of the routes. Like he still wasn't even a full-time player yet. So he will be a hot waiver commodity. Well, and it's nice to see like on an NFL field him 15 yards a catch over 100 yards. And a lot of that was just with the ball in his hands running away from guys, which is what they hope they drafted when they spent that high of a draft pick.

And they need them right now with some of the other injuries to their other wide receivers. He's going to be a hot pickup. Yeah. Anybody else we need to talk about there? Are we going to circle back to the duds? I guess that's what we're doing. I mean, there are some important questions. We've got to answer them. Let's take a break. We'll do it in a minute. Poopped in his big boy pants. I don't know. I don't know how to describe the quantity of poop, the size of the pants.

But Drake May. Drake May, did you see the clip that I saw it this morning? He was crying. Oh, really? I didn't see that. He was crying on the sideline when Mike Rabo had to come over and console him, like, standing on the sideline. This was into third quarter. I mean, he looked. He looked. He looked distraught. Was it because he was watching his play? I mean, he made some of the most boneheaded.

ridiculous decisions. Bad pass on a bad decision in the red zone. It's like what's going on between the ears right now? Mike Rabel after the 35 to 6 loss said my concern level is very high for this football team. Okay. And then Drake May, according to Doug Klaus and tweeting the stout out, Drake May, nine fumbles, 10 picks since the start of the postseason. He is the first player with nine fumbles and 10 interceptions and a seven game span since. James?

James Winston. Since James Winston during the 30 touchdown 30 interception season. He was playing like James in the sense that like balls that you should not throw that you're taught in like Pop Warner. You don't, you know, if you're if you're spun around and you just don't throw that ball into nothingness and he's doing it. So the problem here is.

The bow nicks we've gotten for the first handful of weeks has been pretty darn bad. And then you had a confident player in the second half last night after some throws went his way. What makes Drake May special or could make him special is going to come alongside the confidence to make throws. And right now he has the least confidence possible because he's made multiple in zone.

reads where he's throwing interceptions while he's on the run. I mean, he cost them a game because they were down three and he threw away a ball in the end zone. And then in this game he did it again. He has been the quarterback 23, 25, and 30. He has the highest interception rate in the NFL. A.J. Brown is not coming back anytime soon. He does not have the weapons that they need. For goodness sakeshawmoudi would have made a difference because he's not doing anything in Houston. It's been mismanaged through and through. And you're not even...
