this past week. They weren't giving them up, but then they gave up, I think, six last night, maybe seven. And so then they play Tennessee the next week. Yeah. And so that's another like. Did you bring up the Saints? I did not bring up. So the Saints are a great defense. They're a great defense. The Saints and the Steelers are mostly roster, but still available in 35 to 40 percent of your leagues. And those two defenses, I'm just all in unbelieving. Like I think I'm going to start them in kind of like the Browns until proven otherwise. Unless it's the Chiefs, I'm starting them against everybody. All right. Thanks again to our sponsor NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV with NFL Sunday ticket. It has never been easier to keep up with all of your fantasy players. Sign up at YouTube.com slash fantasy footballers. One more segment. Full stream ahead. Well, it's time to look for some quarterback streaming options, and there are a few.

57:15 ↗

And you might not smile when you see them in your starting roster, but you may, after the week is done. I'm going to go with the Thursday night matchup, Jordan Love, quarterback four on the season, the efficiency. It's improbable. It makes no sense. And yet Thursday against Detroit, it seems like it could continue. He's also averaging 25 rushing yards of game. So it's that little boost at the, you know, giving you a little bit higher floor for Jordan Love. that would be about 425 a year on the ground. That is not. Yeah, we'll take that. That is not nothing. So I'm going to go Jordan Love against Detroit at home in Lambo. Yeah. I'm also taking them to win that game. For what it's word. Oh. I like it. I like it. They've been in every game. I bet Al likes that. Nah. No. I'll take the pack.

58:07 ↗

I'm going to. That's who I took. You should listen to the show. Come on, man. I'm sorry. I thought you took the lines. No. You should pay attention. For my streaming candidate, he is available in 100% of leagues, as is mics. It's James Winston. Famous James, going to get out there, throw a couple tetties, throw a couple picks, do what he does. Last year, you know, with this same offense, we saw him come out week one, be a top 10 fantasy quarterback in relief. last week, played like 35% of the snaps, I think somewhere right around there, had over 100 yards, completed 63% of his passes. He's got Michael Thomas. He's got Chris Olavay. And he is Camarra now, too. Yeah, and revenge game. He's playing against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay. You, how dare you let me go? He's not capable of revenge. No. That's the happiest man on earth. There's nobody more joyful, happy, and content in all phases of life than James Winston. He is.

59:06 ↗

if I may use this word. Just adorable. I mean, I mean, Davis Winston, his interviews, his positivity is contagious. I mean, sometimes he comes across. He's a goofball. It's such a goofball. Yeah. But he is absolutely adorable. Yeah. He is the, did you see the video of Brady talking about the getting the edge in games and what made he would look for it's like Kobe? It's like Jordan. You know, he looks for the smallest offense. And that gives him the fire to want to burn your soul. That's something James could never do. Oh, no. He's like, good tackle, good tackle. Nice sack. Nice sack. Yeah. Oh, man, nice interception. I shouldn't have done that. I promise you, James Winston is an incredible hugger. There's no way he doesn't give fantastic. Just bear hugs. Pick you up a little. Oh, yeah. If Papa Josh and James Winston were together. That'd be trouble. Yeah.

60:04 ↗

Yeah, get out of there. Uh, Mike. I will go. Look, I never thought we'd see this day. Underpants. It's time to steal up, baby. Oh, yeah. Surprise drop. Steal underpants. We're taking the player who replaced James Winston. It is. Andy Dalton, but he will be playing the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, Dalton threw the ball 58 times. He also plays for the Panthers. Oh, yeah, yeah. Eight times? Look. 360, two passing touchdowns. Gets to play Minnesota. I want the drop again. See you on? Yeah. I want to see it again. Oh, yeah. That's a, that's a great one. Minnesota just allowed Mr. Herbert to have his first ever 400 plus yard game. They're allowing a 76% completion rate. Who's he going to throw it to? Me. Yeah, baby. Who's he going to throw it to, Jason?

61:03 ↗

me, Adam Thielen. You want to talk about revenge games? Adam Thielen versus the former squad. That's a good point. I might like the 58 pass attempts and the fact Minnesota will undoubtedly score, I might like this Dalton stream better than all of them. It's like, it's going to be nasty. Full steel ahead. Oh, it is steel underpants, but sometimes you put them on, you feel safer. Yes, you do. From all the perils of life. Nate? Ain't no crotch shots happening when you're going to steal underpants. Go ahead. Try it. Try it, Mac Jones. Oh, break that hand. What is he doing? He's punching other men in the crotch. And see, that's, we frown on that. Yeah. That's a real no-no. That loses me respect for you. I think we're in, like, this is a unanimous agreement that punching another guy in the junk is. I call it a low blow. Yes. I give Mac Jones.

62:00 ↗

Just a teeny bit of credit because he almost hit it perfectly from the camera. So there is a little bit of, I mean, that, we talked about the NFL. They don't have enough cameras to catch all the crotch shots that happened. Crotch games going. Boy, you know what it would be fun is to have a camera like on the helmet for like a fumble and see what happens in the pile. Ooh, actually that would be legit fun. Just a GoPro sticking up off the top of everyone's helmet. But yes, one of the tenants of our company. And I think Deucer's Alley can attest to this. Of course. Really put this at the forefront of our mission. When we interview for a job, we make sure that people are aligned with this. We're like, gentlemen, nothing to the crotch around here. Yeah. Only fakes. Sometimes I give. There happens some fakes. I give Al some fakes. So sorry. I'm guessing he lunges away. Yeah. Yeah, but that's, yeah, we should talk about that on the air.

62:55 ↗

All right. Anything else? Do you drop in Justin Fields to play any of those three? No. Oh. Does that mean you're playing Justin Fields, Jason? Well, over those three? The answer is yes. If that's what you're saying. Yeah. I mean, there's probably someone else on your roster that you can. You're not. So you're going to roster two quarterbacks? Yes. I think Justin Fields is the type of quarterback right now that you, that if you don't want to start him. I personally would not want to drop him. So, yeah, I mean, at that point, you might pick one of these players up and play him over Justin Fields if you feel confident. I mean, feel free to drop him. If you've felt the scars and you're mad and you need that, you know, cathartic action, I think you can. But again, if he, he will be on many waivers this coming week. Yes, he will. And I don't think we have properly talked about drop it like it's hot enough this season.

63:49 ↗

But when your waivers run tomorrow, you need to look not just at who got picked up, but who was dropped because you're going to have the Denver Broncos dropped after their putrid performance. And you're going to have Justin Fields dropped after his putrid start to the season. Well, those two teams play each other, so they're probably both okay. Yeah. It's going to feel like a bounce back for one of them because they both can't lose, right? They both teams cannot lose. Congrats to both fan bases on that. Anything else you guys want to discuss? We've got Hungry for More. Let's Talk trades looking at trade for and trade away players on tomorrow's episode of the podcast. Starts of the week. Matchup previews on Thursday. Fantasy face off. Wheel of Shame will be skipping this week on Friday. Oh, man. And, guys, Wheel of Shame is going perfect for me.

64:47 ↗
