summary

Episode notes

The episode's dominant personality story is a League of Record keeper trade. Jason had told Andy he was surprised Andy had not targeted injured Malik Nabers; Andy then acquired Nabers for a fourth-round pick in their three-keeper format. Jason realizes his own advice created the bargain, becomes openly furious, says he had already told Jeremy that he planned to target Nabers, and watches Al Borland leave Deucer's Alley and slam the door amid the fallout. The trade returns twice: Andy folds it into a Walmart express-delivery read, then refuses Jason's proposed third-round flip, which Jason uses to prove the original price was absurdly low. Earlier, Jason's return is marked by jokes that he slept at the studio and took a 30-to-35-minute shower cry after fantasy pain. Other usable micro-bits include Mike meowing during a Mason Taylor cat riff, the hosts treating Jason correcting English as uncharted waters, and Kyle instantly finding the unsettling Nickelodeon character Inside Out Boy after the show notes that Andy did not have Nickelodeon.

yards or more in three of the of the excuse me, three of the four games, seven targets the past two weeks. I he is and and Travis Hunter is when will he be phased in to the offense? >> And the the Hunter thing is really tough because you're you're already frustrated with Brian Thomas Jr. So, it's like step one of fixing the offense in on our list of things for fantasy football is fixing Brian Thomas Jr. >> and then you're like, well, I got to do that and then I've also got to get Travis Hunter involved. And that seems like maybe a a distance

to to cover for Liam Cohen and the offense. >> Keep his name out of your mouth. >> Oh, you don't talk about Liam Cohen? Oh, man. >> What's he going to do to me? >> He's a big tough guy. He's he'll he'll fight you. >> Freaking launch pad. >> He will come at me. He will allow four grown men to stand in his way while he claims that he wants to fight you. >> Dall, >> it's me, Liam. >> I'm not afraid of you, Launchpad. >> Keep my name out your mouth. >> Dall. >> All right, defensive pickups. If they're

50:12 ↗

there, grab the Lions. They're going to absolutely >> turn the Bengals inside out this week. [laughter] my pickup last week. >> Did you ever Andy didn't have Nickelodeon. Did you ever see Inside Out Boy on Nickelodeon when you were a kid? >> No. >> That's a real character. >> It was It was like these shorts uh at Claimation and the the story was the kid went over the bar on the swings >> and so all of his skin turned inside out. >> We always wondered what would happen. >> That's what Oh, Kyle already found the photo. [laughter] >> So all his bones are on the outside.

50:45 ↗

>> Yeah, you could see his bones and his organs. >> Um scary. That's what the Lions are going to do. >> That's what they're going to do. >> Aiden Hutchinson, which thank goodness it just seems like he got hit in the poles or something. He was down riding >> and then he just got the wind knocked out of him. >> Last week I picked up the Cardinals defense for this week, which is a great >> That's a good pickup. >> If you have some room on your bench, look at the schedule for the following week and save the fab and grab somebody.

51:10 ↗

But they play at home against Tennessee who's averaging 12.8 points per game. Cardinals defense has actually been a good defense. If they get Will Johnson back this week, the Cardinals should be able to make Cam Ward continue to look like Cam Ward. >> Yep. And the Cleveland Browns. >> Oh, it's a good one for the Browns here. >> It is. It's It's overseas, but Carson Wentz will take sacks. He will throw interceptions. >> Their offensive line is so beat up. >> Oh my gosh, they're so devastated. >> It seems like one of the lessons this year is that you need an offensive line.

51:41 ↗

It it's a lesson that we forget because you get caught up in the the hot sexy players of like, oh, look at these wide receivers and the teams that when they take a few years and they're just you feel boring and bland and they build up a dominant offensive line, it always pays dividends. >> The this year though, baby, >> this year feels so much more extreme. Like it's always we know the trenches, right? It's the bad. The bad has been so bad. It's like the It's basically like the best offensive linemen were hoarded by certain franchises and then it's like

52:17 ↗

ah dag gum it we've got no one to play offensive line. It's terrible. I'll throw out the Indianapolis Colts as well. Gino Smith been throwing the ball to the other team a lot. >> Yeah. >> Um they're going to be at home and they they've been playing pretty good ball. I I think the Colts are a legit team. >> I got one more and it's both sides. Giants at Saints, Saints defense versus Giants. I think both work. Jackson Dart Young potential mistakes. >> Should be low scoring, >> lowscoring game. I think the Giants and the Saints both could work. >> And uh we'll talk quarterbacks in a

52:49 ↗

moment. That was this week's waiverwire presented by Walmart. Who knew you could get what you need in as fast as an hour? Get free delivery on your first express delivery order with the code express. Valid for first express delivery order. $50 minimum. Subject to availability. Restrictions apply. I was able to get Malik in less than an hour. Don't like that. >> No, I I don't like that. You [music] >> full stream ahead. [music] >> Let me ask you this, Andy. If I offered you a third round pick for Malik Neighbors right now, so you would basically just go, you would trade a

53:24 ↗

fourth for a third, which 100% of people would do, right? 100% of everyone would trade a fourth for a third. >> Um, would you accept that trade? >> Nope. That's my point. [laughter] That's what's upsetting. It's not that you got Malik. It's you gave up nothing. >> I needed a keeper. That's why I did it. >> Do you know who goes in the fourth round of our league, which is like you keep >> Jake Browning. [laughter] >> Goodness gracious. >> Um All right. Full stream ahead. Streaming quarterbacks this week. >> Uh I'm going to go with Brock Birdie. He's going to You better hope he plays.

53:56 ↗

>> That's my That's my Brock worry. I I I know he didn't he didn't practice, but with his toe injury that he played through this last game, um I wouldn't expect him to practice right now in the week anyways. Obviously, if he doesn't play, I'm not going to play him. But going to play uh against the Rams, he looked very good. He's he's he's got the Baker in him. Like to me, he's >> Wait, he's got the Baker in him and Baker has the dog in him. >> Correct. >> So he has Baker in him. >> Correct. He's got >> I think he's got the Baker in it. You're

54:26 ↗

being too loosey goosey here. >> If you have the baker, isn't that a Isn't that better than having the dog? >> Maybe the candlestick maker. I don't know about baker. >> Um I like the reference. I don't like the joke. >> Well, I don't like your reference. >> No, I I genuinely I genuinely think that Brock Perie has a lot of what we love about Baker Mayfield. >> You You guys got to watch a little more. He is a tough guy. He He just fights and he gets what he needs. last time he was uh on the road against the He did play

54:58 ↗

through it though Thursday, right? Thursday game it is. >> Yeah. And and um that he's he's gotten it done. He's got two games so far this year. He's been over 20 fantasy points in both of those games. Last time he was on the road here, he threw for uh 303 last week. >> He might be. >> Yeah, we play each other this week. >> Fantastic. >> And uh I know he's on the waiverwire and you've got the Dakino situation. >> I will probably start Dak. Dak has been he looked so good. Um I I you know I almost made if Brock doesn't play, Dak

55:30 ↗

would be my stream of the week. >> Jared Goff is my pick against the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. 10 and a half point road favorites. Uh you know you can hit and miss with Goff all the time, but >> we are currently on one hit. >> Yeah. I mean you're you're at um Oh, you mean on the year? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's a 20 it's almost a 30 point implied. >> They're putting up Yeah. They're putting up a bajillion points every week. I like that they are willing to throw the ball on the two, three, four yardd line. That

55:57 ↗

that is what I like. And Cincinnati has given up a ton of points to quarterbacks. >> I'm despite Tyreek Hill's injury, I'm going to say I think off of the waiverwire who's readily available, Tua is there. He's playing Carolina. Uh we just saw you know the it appears the Carolina of two weeks ago that was a mirage as the the New England Patriots took it to him. Uh, and the Panthers versus their season long numbers versus quarterbacks. They look good, but like I said, but destroyed by Drake May. They ranked 28th in yards per play allowed. And the the Dolphins offense should be

56:32 ↗

able to get it done against them. All right, that'll do it. We also have some other suggestions there. Jackson Dart could be interesting. Sam Darnold's been getting it done. if you need, you know, two quarterback desperate play situation. >> Uh, I think Jackson Dart is somebody that we should probably talk about for two seconds here in terms of fab for long term, right? Our stream of the week is not the same thing as picking up somebody that could be good long term. >> Jackson Dart, >> we're interested because you run, man. >> We're interested because you run the football. >> He was the quarterback 13 this last

57:01 ↗

week, ran 10 times. Um, so, you know, that's always going to give you a nice fantasy baseline. He scrambled a lot. some of the plays were called directly for him. His touchdown run was, you know, just a straight drop back and go. Um, so yeah, his biggest issue is the Saints. >> I I'm that's fine. Like I'd be willing to do it, but then you got Philly at Denver at Philly are the next three matchups for for for Dart. So would if you're thinking about spending Fab on him, it if like a single quarterback, realize what the schedule is coming up

57:37 ↗

for him. >> That's fair. All right, that'll do it for today's episode of the show, but we'll be back tomorrow. We've got mailbag questions tomorrow, Thursday night preview, so we'll talk more about Brock Party in the 49ers Rams game. Backup options on the show tomorrow. And who knows what else is going to happen between now and then. >> You never know. >> I got more fourths to trade. I still got two more if you're interested. >> Maybe you can uh go get other superstar future keepers. >> Oh, Jamarcade. Yeah. Goodbye. >> Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers
