Week 2 Studs & Duds + General Mills - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/20

on a speedboat, but bruised ribs, they're no joke. I mean, it was hard to play foosball. So go out there and go out there, you know, I know you're a little tougher to him. That is factual, by the way. Now, he tried. Jason tried. And he would cry out in pain. I mean, I played through the pain, but I wasn't as good. No, you were lacking. You did eventually sit out for a couple days. Yeah, two was, you know, it's not going to be 100%. Football. We're the same. Fuzzball.

They're very similar. It's just one letter. Yeah. I'm like two of men. Yeah. And he's two. Carson Wins dealing with injuries to both ankles. Oh, come on. No. One isn't enough. No. And this could be, there's an MRI today. We'll monitor that. Similarly, you're not going to have confidence starting anybody in the receiving game until Jacob's and like proves it to you if he's the start. Why did, why does Carson Wins destroy offensive lines?

I don't understand. Yeah, he was running around like crazy. For his life. And part of the narrative. No one wants to protect him. In the off season was coming in. Well, let's see if Carson Wince is better now that he's got a good off. I mean, the Colts are a great offensive line. The offseason, this is one of the best offensive lines. Now they were missing their left tackle, but they got him back. And then every time I watch Carson Wince, it was just, it was him with all the defenders in his face.

It's like I don't get it. I don't get why all of a sudden this offensive line looks horrific just because Wince is behind it. I saw the same thing. I don't know why. Andy Dalton, knee injury in the first half. This is a big one. From what I saw this morning, ACL not injured, MCL not injured. They're looking at bone bruise for Andy Dalton. Right, but this is it.

It's done. It's Justin Fields will start next week. And I, even for the budget magician, I don't see a world where if Justin Fields goes out there and is your starter for one or even two weeks while Andy Dolan is still hurt, how do you possibly go back? I do. I see a path. I'm a huge Justin Fields fan. But he looked okay. Sure, but like he's the future.

And if he has a couple, if Andy Dalton, if you have the excuse, like you can't pull Dalton for performance and then put him back in, but you can put him back in if your rookie struggles and he was injured. Yeah, it's just a matter. It's a matter of how Fields performs. Exactly. This first week, assuming the Fields is starting this week, which I, at this point, that is my assumption, that's going to be against the Browns. And that's not a gimmie matchup. So if he goes out, shows well, wins that game.

Yeah, I mean, it's going to be, you know, it could be a Justin Herbert situation last year where they weren't expecting to start him, but he was too good and he won the job. He was six for 13 in relief of Dalton. Had one of the worst interceptions I've seen in a while. Yeah, he was 10 for 31 on the ground. So regardless of what the narrative turns into. You shocked by that number, Jason? If you had 10 attempts, I would expect a lot more than 31 yards for him.

But regardless of what happens down the line, if he plays, he is interesting for fantasy because of the rushing prowess and what that brings to the table. I think somebody, who was it? Oh, Jalen Hertz didn't throw a touchdown pass. He had 22 fantasy points. So Tyrod Taylor exited with a hamstring strain because it's week two of the national football league. He was playing tremendously as well. So this sucks, man. I was excited to see, like if you.

Tell me the Texans are on Thursday. I needed to find some reasons to be excited. And watching Tyrod was going to be one of them. He's played well. Are they allowed to change it? Change what? The just who's playing on Thursday? Just completely. Oh, you should have seen this coming before this season. This is on them. This is not hard to predict that this was not going to be a game. Who are they playing? Carolina. Okay. So you got some CMC. And Carolina can go to three and oh. Well, I mean, look.

Before when they were planning this schedule out, I think the NFL thought that it would be a different starting quarterback for the Houston Texans. Different than Davis Mills. And different than Tyrod Taylor. Yeah, I know. He has been ruled out already in that game. Watson? Yes. Oh, no. Yes. Yes is the answer, but I actually meant Tyrod. They've both been ruled out, which is another way of saying Davis Mills has been ruled in. All right. Let's go, Mills. General.

Oh, yes. Oh, the general. Go get them. Now we have a reason to watch this game. Save your box tops, everybody. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. The General Mills. Save your box tops. All right. Nico Collins shoulder injury. Texans rookie wide receiver. Russell Gage exited with an ankle injury.

It says he did not return. That's a lie. He did return. Did he? Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, he did. But did he? He caught a pass when he came back in. Leviscus-Cenault exited with a shoulder injury. This is something to monitor because you need, maybe you need a point of clarity there for who to start at the wide receiver position for Jacksonville and one less body would make it easier.

It was obviously the Marvin Jones show in this one. Yes, it was. James O'Shaughnessy exited with an angle injury. So if you took a desperation shot on him, that was some bad luck. And then Jamal Williams off the injury report. Swift is still listed as questionable. Both will play. And we'll have a Monday night madness situation for Mike, the fantasy hitman. Please, Jamal. That was today's. He'll do it. He'll do it. And if he doesn't, then you'll be sad. You told us, you told us midgame yesterday that the Cardinals were going to win. I did.

And you said it with confidence. And then clearly they just took control of the game. And you were right. And so I'm telling you, he's got you. Yeah. You were dead on with that. I don't even think were you still here, Jason, when Mike had thrown down. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You had also put a quick midgame bet on the Titans.

To win. Right before the tying touchdown, yes. Yeah, you got like plus 150 on that. And then he won that bet. So he's on a hot streak. Hot streak. Yeah. Thank you. That was today's news and notes brought to you by Sleeper, the leader in breaking news alerts. If you don't have sleeper on your phone, you are actually like your odds of being successful in fantasy are at negative 110.

Yes, they go down. You've got to be able to move quickly. Your odds of being successful at fantasy would be plus one 10. But that sounds bad because it sounds like a good thing, but that's a bad thing. The odds would be against you. Yes, that is correct. Like it helps you. It does. Yeah. Professional. Download sleeper and join their professional first time better. Arizona just legalized. And I knew instantly that I would be corrected and just tried to press forward.

Oh, Driscoll. Driscoll. That's what it was. Oh, the old Driscoll boys. Yeah. I feel like Davis might fit the same category. All right. This week's fantasy stud muffins, can you stop Kyla Murray? Holy crap, man. No, you can't. One of the reasons why I think both of you had tremendous confidence in him is your number one overall draft quarterback. Not only the 13 games he already was that last year. Yeah. But the fact that this team has taken the.

weaponry and upgraded it across the board. You have the ever-impressive Rondale Moore. You have Christian Kirk healthy from the slot. Superstar A.J. Green. The call of calls. AJ Green helps the offense. And then you had Max Williams with the career day. Look, Kyler was 400. He went for 400. And then he had another one on the ground. I mean, he's got the Jacksonville Jaguars next week.

He has now moved into a tie with Brady for second and MVP with Mahomes' odds on favorite. Lamar Jackson last night was impressive. He wanted that game and he got it. He did. He did. He did. A couple of picks. Did it feel like at the beginning of the game, though, that he's like, oh, man. That he didn't want it. This is not going to go well for Lamar. Yeah, because he threw two picks. One was a pick six, and he looked.

He looked awful, and then he literally willed his team to a victory. He was a decent quarterback and I'm just saying statistically, a decent quarterback performance and a great running back performance. If you got 16 carries 107 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns from your running back, you are thrilled. And that's what you got from your quarterback. Outstanding. Tom Brady has nine touchdowns in two games. Goodness gracious. You should.

start him in fantasy football every week, including next week against the Rams, which will be a tough matchup. Yeah, I don't know how you move away. 14 touchdown passes. This is insane. He's 14 touchdown passes away from throwing more touchdowns in his 40s than his 20s. Wow. I mean, that is unbelievable. And he's, you notice he's everywhere now and everybody likes him?

Oh, because he's so, look. He's like a, he's under the cloud of New England. It's annoying. You didn't want to root for Tom Brady on the Patriots because they, you know, they were keeping the entire league down for so long. They were the enemy. But not only did he move, but he changed personalities. Like he is now on social media being funny, legitimately funny, not like cringy.

He's just a great personality. He does a subway commercial and he doesn't eat bread. The first time I saw that commercial come on. It's, you know, because it's the joke of it's the clone. All of a sudden, it's a subway commercial. I'm like, what is going on? I know. Tom Brady is legendary that he does not eat. Oh, okay. Okay, Tom. It was good. Well done. Daniel Jones had a great fantasy week. Nine for 95 in a touchdown. We talked about that game. Kirk Cousins.
