Week 3 Matchups + Start Sit Challenges, Shametown! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/22

like Damien Pierce, like Joe Mixin, these are the decisions people have to make. And you're saying pretty much stay in the flames with Kyron? That's what I'm doing. Jason, are you in the same boat? Yeah, I am. I've got Kyron Williams as my running back eight this week. So if you're able to bench him, congrats. You've got great other running backs. Matthew Stafford is the third highest passing yardage quarterback this year. Pook Nukem and Tutu Atwell. Both of them have been very, very good. In fact, Tutu has run... Get targets and chew bubblegum. Tutu has run more rounds than anybody in football. Eight targets, nine targets. Wow. And he's looked the part. He's, he has made some great catches. He's had awesome separation. You should be able to play both those players. Okay. Judy or Tutu? Two, two. Drake. Drake. Drake London.

Okay, all right. Not by a ton, but I'd go, Drake. We're done with Tyler Higby for now? Yep. Anybody else from this game you guys want to talk about? Nope. David Montgomery, some injury updates for you, not at practice on Friday. He's not going to be playing football. Alman Ross St. Brown. Dan Campbell said they feel pretty good that he will play week three. I'm worried that that might be worse for fantasy players somehow. Yeah, I think he'll be okay if he plays. If he plays, he'll be in my lineup. I think if it's worse, it's worse because just give the guy some rest, let him get to full strength. But yeah, I mean, I don't think you bench him. Logan Thomas ruled out due to the concussion. So he will not be the tight in for the commanders this week. Kevin Sopansky said Cream Hunt will be playing on Sunday. And they will see how much, but that he's ready to go.

That's great. And Jalen Wattle update, this is great. He is practicing today. He has not cleared the concussion protocol. But usually when guys clear, you know, on that Saturday or whatever, that only happens when this happens first and you get back to practice. So a little bit of, a little bit of hope. Okay. Let's move on. Fantasy face off, presented by Draft Kings. Guys, I complete. I complete. I completely forgot. I watched your face. I watched your face, Jason, and it was outstanding because it was like, we're moving on. The show's going. Jason's bebopping. He's happy. And then it hit that you are once again. I'm sad that we had that beautiful video drop because that's when my face fell out my butt. And you didn't get to see it. We had another. What?

Yeah, I don't know that expression, but I believe it. I'm putting that in the vernacular, though. That was great. So every week, mono, imano, imano on Draft Kings, the fantasy faceoff. Once again, week number two went my way. It's incredible. I have started two and oh, which is delightful. The punishment is so ridiculous, so silly. and I do not want to lose. And so feared by the three of us. Yeah, so I ended up on. Better hope there's not a tongue hole. Yeah, I made sure of that. So, yeah, last week I was able to win. Jason at the bottom, two in a row, Jay. I know. You ready to do it? I don't think I've done two and a row very often. He's cooling off. Will of shame.

Oh, baby. Oh, I better not lose this week. Let's go. Let's spin that wheel. All right. We got Happy Trees. Geyser. Viking. And. Oh, no, we did. Poppy's Papa. Poppy's Papa. Poppy's Papa. Poppy's Papa. Oh, is this the troll. Poppy. Oh, okay. So, uh. Jason, you're going to have to take your old, your hat off. Okay, so he's got the hair. There's another piece. Oh, is that a mustache? Oh, we got a mustache for you, Jason. Oh, and we have eyebrows. Mike, you want to help them out with these? Are they ready to go? They're ready to go. You got some eyebrows. You're going to have to take the glasses off, Jason. I'm sorry. Oh, maybe not. Oh, yeah. A lot of sticky on my face. Yeah, buddy, you look good. Oh, my goodness.

Okay. Oh, there it is. The camera can't even hold the hair. The camera zoomed it in. Here, I got you. All right. Oh, yeah. We're back at it. I am enjoying the winning part. Oh, yeah. How about you, Jay? You enjoying this segment? I am loving it. Man, my love in this segment. All right. We're into the lineups for week three. Let's see if we can get it done again. Jason, you look spectacular. This is one of my favorites. Pink is my color. Oh, you look good. Who's the boxing promoter? Oh, yeah. Don King. Don King. You look like you got some Don King here right now.

All right, my quarterback this week going into week three. Do we all have the same quarterback? I've got Kirk Cousins. I have Kirk Cousins. I have Kirk Cousins. All right. I don't know how you. I tried to go away from it knowing that it'd probably be commonly, but 6,900, Kirk Cousins. It's very nice. In a cash game format, which this is what we're playing because there's only the three of us. I don't know how you move away from Kirk. Exactly. So we all have Kirk Cousins. My running backs. I am going with the same two I ran out last week. I'm going Bijon Robinson at 7,800 and Jemir Gibbs at 6,600. They're in the same matchup. The targets will be flowing, and that's where I'm going. Okay. At running back, I've got a couple of guys I am counting on to do big things. Tony Pollard in a massive...

He was in my lineup for so long, but I did move away, but 8,000, right? 8,000. So he is expensive playing against Arizona. And Travis E.T.N. at a very nice 6,900. Those two running backs are going to be stalwarts for my roster. And that's about 500 more than my pair. So you spend up on the best matchups of the week, some favorite teams, Mike? Travis E.T.M will be a wash for the two of us, Jason. I also will be enjoying his services as my start of the week. Ken Bone Walker the third, 6200 against Carolina, heavy, heavy home favorites. It should be delightful. Well, that's fun. We've got some live players there at the running back position other than you two sharing Mr. ETN. My wide receivers. Give me a guest. Justin Jefferson. Yeah. Do we all have Justin Jefferson? Of course we do. We don't. What? I wasn't able to afford him. You have Kirk in and you didn't stack? I did stack. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Well, I have Jefferson at 9,300. That blows my mind, though. I have Keenan Allen at 7600 in the same matchup. Yeah, that was my original lineup. I had those exact guys, Justin Jefferson and Keenan Allen. In order to afford my running backs, I went with. I still got one more. You got one more. I got one more I got a share. Who is it? Justin Jefferson, Keenan Allen, and Tank Dell at 3,600. So I originally had those three. But I pivoted to afford more on my running backs. I went with Jordan Addison instead of Justin Jefferson paid down there at only 5,500. I feel like he's mispriced. I wanted the value over Justin Jefferson, but I do have Keenan Allen and I do have Tank Dell. Do you really? I do. Okay. That's a bit unfortunate.

I knew we would all have tanked out. Oh, really? Because he's 3,600, man. Like a player who can get 10 targets for that price. Full PPR. You have to go with it. I have Justin Jefferson, of course. I had Keenan out for a long time, but I made some moves to adjust the roster. So I have his counterpart. I have Mike Williams at 6,000. So that will be a very enjoyable situation where we are shouting either Keenan or Mike Williams. Well, and Jefferson and Addison. Sure. So that'll be fun. like being the one that doesn't have Justin Jefferson officially on record saying. I will everything you're saying in this outfit right now. It's got more weight to it. Yeah. You got to fix your mustache a little bit there. Bring one side down a little bit. It stuck to me. Okay. Well, here's my fine. Look, it costs a lot to go cousins, be Jean, Gibbs, Jefferson, and Allen. So now we're looking at the bargains. My tight end at 2,700.

is the pass catching tight in for the Washington commanders. It's Cole Turner. Oh. Taking Cole Turner in the absence of Logan Thomas. I was waiting to hear on that. Definitively, it came just in. Logan Thomas out, Cole Turner in. Buffalo pass rush. What's the price there? 2,700. Oh, right? He's deliciously cheap. Yeah. Again, it was very hard to afford what I had at the top of this lineup, which makes 3,200 Nelson Aguilar. He's my flex play. I don't think Beckham's out there. And unfortunately, that left me with only one defense I could afford. One. That's, it's always fun. Arizona. Yeah. At home against Dallas. I'll be hoping for, they've got nine sacks through two weeks, hoping for one defensive play, one tip pass, one miraculous special teams play. But Arizona put up 19 points in this draft kings in week one against Washington. I'll be praying. Yeah. That's all I could do to afford what I have. Yeah.

Time will tell. Here, one of us is going to win. I've got another cheap tight end as well, only $200 more than yours at 2,900. Oh, no. Is it Durham? It is Durham. Smyth. He is everyone's tight end. Is he in yours? Yeah. All right. Well, I'm just saying globally. Yes, yes. I have the Jets defense at 2,800 against New England Patriots. They're at home. And another great value to me, Amari Cooper. who I think has a great matchup at home against the Tennessee Titans is only 5,700. So Smythe, Cooper, and the Jets. Smyth, the Jets, Zay Flowers will be my difference maker at the flex position. That's another team will be rooting for a different wider CER. I mean, you want to, again, talking about mispricing, 5,400 for Mr. Zay Flowers at home, should be soaking up those first three targets. Guys.

I am very happy with the squad. And that's, like, I had to give a big shout out thanks to Jason because he started, he started strutton in the office. And he said, I did it. I built the perfect Draft King's lineup. And I was done. And I said, oh. Well, he looks like a man who built the perfect lineup. So I went back into the laboratory, changed things up. And my lineup is infinitely better. Well, look, here's some more news from Al Borland. He said that you're. eyebrows and mustache are not going to come off easily. Oh, I believe it. I believe it. Well, the nice thing is that they are currently on hair. So I will have to rip them off. The adhesive it came with was subpar. So we upgraded. Did you epoxy these or what did you? Goodness gracious. Do we got any like baby oil around here? Well, we'll worry about that later. We'll figure it out.

And as that last drive got going, we put the sharp objects away. and he did not get those last night. But you didn't nail all the other parts of the parley. Good job. I did. Yeah, five or six legs. All right. Paid nothing, but still had a good week. Yeah, well, we're done with the show. Jason, you're looking special. And I'm not taking it off, so the adhesive is no problem.
