The live Megalobowl board names Gene 213 at 4–0 with 396 points. Jason is also 4–0 and says he does not have 396 points; the hosts explain that each week awards one matchup against an opponent and another against the league median.
Ride or Die reviews Jason's three-for-three prior slate, then Brooks voices the new Christian Kirk threshold. When every host initially chooses die, the desk negotiates the line from fifteen to twelve before recording the votes.
Jason sends roughly twelve League of Record offers pairing DJ Moore with another player for a slight upgrade and receives immediate rejections. The hosts invent a player-specific auto-reject bot, then Al Borland leaks a screenshot and reports why he rejected the deal; Jason defends Moore as keeper-worthy for Al's roster but not his own stronger roster.
The hosts say Deucer Cam is close to becoming reality and can see the physical camera, but it is not ready because Deucer's Alley needs lighting and the producers are sitting in darkness.
The hosts avoid starting a returning Michael Gallup by saying they will ride the sideline. His name launches a horse-gait inquiry through trot, little gallop, canter, and rejected meander; breaking news eventually defines a canter as the three-beat gait between trot and gallop, though the desk thinks even that is too fast for recovery.
A spooky Unsolved Mysteries cue opens a segment devoted to perplexing fantasy questions, with Kyle Pitts's usage named the number-one mystery after two weeks.
Andy is directly identified as the Pitts manager and captain of the ship. He adopts a one-strike, two-strike, three-strike deadline, after which the plan is weeping and gnashing of teeth; he worries about damage to his predictive psyche, warns Arthur Smith, and accepts blind positive Pitts bets.
The Russell Wilson mystery replaces 'Let's ride' with 'Let's idle.' His first two weeks include eighteen red-zone passes without a touchdown, four would-be scores without two feet down, conservative checkdowns, and two delays; Denver's home crowd counts down its own play clock like Phoenix fans counting an opposing Giannis free throw.
Early running-back futility lets zero-RB drafters celebrate pantsless and point at everyone else. One unlabeled manager names Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson, and A.J. Brown; another unnamed manager calls a Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, and Tee Higgins Megalobowl roster 4–0 and describes it as booty-shaking.
The hosts imagine Mike Evans's unsuccessful appeal beginning with the defense that the shove was not him. His repeated Marshon Lattimore clashes then become a fictional $500,000 Amazon button labeled PUSH MARCUS LATTIMORE, which Evans would supposedly Prime three times and request for same-day delivery.
During the Bengals mystery, the desk directly accuses Mike of victory-lapping his concern about Joe Burrow's draft price and skipping around the office. Mike denies it and reduces the celebration to a 'minor, minor smirk,' but the other hosts say he has a tone and that vindication can be smelled in the air.
The Megalobowl update names Gene 213 as the 4–0 overall leader with 396 points, while Jason is also 4–0 and says he does not have 396 points; the hosts explain the simultaneous opponent-and-median matchups and direct listeners to the live standings. Ride or Die returns with Jason sweeping all three prior disagreements, including two successful fades and an Aaron Jones opportunity loss despite better fantasy output. Brooks voices the new thresholds and the desk formally moves Christian Kirk's line before voting. League of Record produces the sharpest personal beat: after DJ Moore scores once, Jason sends roughly twelve Moore-plus-player upgrade offers and receives instant rejections; the hosts invent a DJ Moore auto-reject spam filter. Al Borland screenshots the private exchange and reports why he rejected the deal; Jason then defends Moore as keeper-worthy for Al's roster but not his own stronger roster. Deucer Cam is announced as approaching reality: the camera physically exists, but the alley still needs lighting because the Deucers sit in darkness. Elsewhere, Mike Evans's Lattimore fixation becomes a fictional $500,000 Amazon shove listing he would supposedly Prime three times, and Pete Carroll is introduced as 'liar Pete Carroll.' Michael Gallup's recovery becomes a horse-gait investigation that considers canter, rejects meander for sounding like Manders, and ends with breaking news defining canter as a three-beat gait before the desk decides canter is still too fast. The spooky Unsolved Mysteries ritual begins with the season's central Kyle Pitts question. Andy is directly asked as the Pitts manager and captain of the ship; his plan becomes one strike, two strikes, three strikes followed by weeping and gnashing of teeth, damage to his predictive psyche, blind positive bets, and a warning that Arthur Smith will be run out of town. During the Bengals case, Mike denies victory-lapping his Joe Burrow draft-price skepticism; the others accuse him of skipping around the office and putting vindication in the air, while Mike reduces his reaction to a 'minor, minor smirk.' Russell Wilson's 'Let's ride' becomes 'Let's idle'; eighteen red-zone throws without a touchdown, four near-touchdowns, two delays, and a home crowd counting the play clock like an opposing Giannis free throw create a coaching-chaos tableau. Finally, the episode's early running-back futility leaves zero-RB rosters pantsless in the street: one anonymous manager celebrates a Tyreek-Jefferson-A.J. Brown build, while another unnamed 4–0 Megalobowl manager lists Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, and Tee Higgins and is described as booty-shaking.
It actually felt, has felt through two weeks, a lot like it felt for Alan Robinson in week one in Los Angeles. Never the first read, on the field, the entire game running rounds, winning at different levels, but not, you know, if you're not being looked at by the quarterback, it doesn't really matter. So. And it's one of the, like, a big problem here for Kyle Pitts is perhaps Drake London just is that good. Like through these first two weeks, Drake London for two games of a rookie career, like he's playing out of his mind. The target share, I don't have it in front of me, but his targets per route run is elite. His target share is elite. And maybe that's part of the issue here. I mean, I don't think Arthur is a good coach. I think there's bad coaching. Plus, Drake London is so good that he is forcing.
things away from Kyle Pitts. Let me ask you a question, Andy. You have Kyle Pitts. If you could move Kyle Pitts for a tight end like a Dallas Goddard or a Pat Friar and Youth Plus, like you were able to add a Jeff Wilson or, you know, Damien Harris, someone like that, a running back plus a tight end that currently looks good, but not. great but not bad um better than what you've got for pits would you make that deal to try to capitalize on the name or are you staying like you're just you're the captain of the ship well it's it's it's two weeks into the season i think of the names you mentioned dallas goddard i would do that for um my thought process with the tight end position how i have traditionally done it is i
I believe it is, you know, you're kind of throwing darts when you're looking at low tier tight ends and the potential for three or four touches. You pray for a touchdown. I want my tight end position to have the potential to be a league or a weak winning position. I think Goddard can win you a week because of a big performance. I don't think you're going to have almost any of those from those other names that you mentioned. So. If I'm getting Goddard plus for Kyle Pitts, which I think would probably be a hard sell right now in a league, I would do that because I like what I've seen from Jalen Hurts and that offense. Well, who's better rest of season? Dallas Goddard or Kyle Pitts? I have no way to know that. There's no certain. No, I just mean, there's no certainty on it. Sure. I mean, who's better rest of the season? Do you know for sure? No one knows for sure. I mean, like, what would you be laying your bet on there? I mean, I think it's 50-50 on those guys.
Yeah, I think you're right. Which is enough reason to trade. Exactly. But I do think that Pitts is going to be better than Fryermew. And, you know, Pitts was, remember, Pitts was the number seven tied in last year with one touchdown on the season. Now, that might happen again. He may have none. But the hope is that you can get the kinds of weeks you get from Mark Andrews, where he's got a nine target week and it's eight for 101. But that's just where I'm at. I mean, how many? So we're at. I mean, he's very consistent, at least he's given you two for 19, but through the first two weeks. I want to see. So looking at his game log real quick, last year you have two games, two games where he was under 20 yards. One week, we got week eight versus Carolina, and then the final week of the season where I think he got hurt during that game.
So we're off to a bad start. I'm going to give it one more week. I will give you Hawkinson straight up. Who's been dominating Kyle Pitts. Compared to Kyle Pitts. Pitts did have seven targets in week one. He just caught two of them. So there's a Marcus Marietta problem. There's an Arthur Smith problem. And he's not an alpha personality that's going to go out there in the media and say, where are my touches? He's going to say, I'm going to do whatever it takes to win. And he even said, he's like, I'm not getting frustrated. The nice thing is they're losing. And I mean that genuinely like, no, I agree. It's always frustrating when a game plan is not going how fantasy football analysts, managers, players feel like it should be going, but the team is winning. Because it's like, you can't really argue against it. You know, I was watching Cadarius Tony in the locker room talk about how like, you know, are you sad you only touch the ball twice? He's like, I don't care twice once. We won the game. Like that's all the matters. It's like, you should be upset. But part of the losing, which is the.
was in the discussions all off seasons. If they keep losing, Desmond Ritter will go in for the Atlanta Falcons at some point. So upgrade, I hear you. I mean, I don't, I don't know if that's great. Mario has been fine for this system. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, he doesn't have enough talent on both sides of the ball to win most games. If Desmond Ritter comes in, it's not going to get worse than two catches for Kyle Pitts. Sure, but it's, I think that if, if Ritter comes in, the probability that things get to where there's a true ceiling for Kyle Pitts, and it's not just you're really happy that he got four for 40. I think when Ritter comes in, that that just squelches that out. I'm going full one strike, two strike, three strikes situation here. Okay. So what is your, what's your plan after three strikes? Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Oh, okay. The Bengals offense. Let's go to Unsolved.
I mean, that's my plan for most things. Right. No, I mean, if it doesn't work out then, yeah, there's going to be a huge problem. Do you know how freaked out I was about, you know, Mike Williams, Alan Robinson having a second strike? That just doesn't, it wouldn't be good. It would be bad for the psyche. It would be bad for the intrinsic, deep, rooted belief about what's going to transpire on the field. I mean, all we're doing here is making predictions based off of data information. Sure. We can't play the plays. We can't call them for Arthur Smith. But the ability and talent of Kyle Pitts is superior to almost any athletic specimen in that position in the league. And he's running a lot of rounds. And I'm hoping he gets a lot more targets this week. So wild. Because, Arthur, they're going to run you out of town if you don't figure this out. I would ride or die that he gets seven targets this week. I would ride that. Okay. Seven plus? Seven plus. I mean, he should. Now, whether he can. You know, are they good targets? Are there Mario.
Moonballs? I mean, right or day, two receptions on those seven targets. Well, I don't take two, but move that line up to five. No, it's... Yeah, I'm willing to make any blind bets on Kyle Pitts in the positive fashion if anybody wants them. No. I feel obligated to them. All right, second unsolved mystery, the Bengals offense and their offensive line woes. We're talking about things that are impacting Burrow, Mixon, Chase, Higgins. This offense... The only reason Hayden Hurst has targets right now is because this offensive line has been atrocious. I mean, this is a problem. And I know, Mike, you have been victory lapping. I have not been victory lapping. You have been doing a skip around the office on Snowbrough. It's just a minor, minor smirk. Minor, I mean, this is kind of what we were talking about.
is he has to be historically great if he's going to pay off at that draft price there's a tone he's got a tone that's why it's mild you are you can smell some vindication in the air a little bit all right i'm far more excited about the taste of mill stuff but right now Because I like Joe Burrow. I want Joe Burrow to be good. Jason, what's going on and is it going to change? I mean, these were not opponents that you expected them to have a problem producing for your fantasy team against. Yeah, I mean, they obviously knew last year that they needed to solve the offensive line. They went out and they did that on paper. And they did not do that at all in reality. So this is a problem they've already been trying to address.
And when it goes wrong, when you're trying to address it, I lack confidence that all of a sudden it will get fixed. Now, better? Sure. Fixed? I don't think so. I think this is going to be another year where Joe Burrow leads the league in sacks. And some of that, like you brought up yesterday, Andy, we talked about it before. Sacks are, they're a quarterback's stat. Obviously, the offensive line plays into that, but quarterbacks cause a lot of their own sacks. So, yeah, I'm, I am worried. Not long term. I think Joe Burroughs great. I, you know, I traded away Joe Burrow. In a dynasty yesterday. Saw that. But it's not because I think he's not going to come to having a great career. It's just weird analysis. I think Joe Burroughs really, really great. I just want to throw out that. In a dynasty league, I did trade him in a dynasty league. Yeah, my point is I am. But he's really good. I am worried in the near term. Okay. For him being what the hope.
Of his superstardom of that actually being able to come to fruition. I love banking at this bank. I did move my money into another bank. But this bank, it takes good care of your money. I just wouldn't do it myself. Look, my next question for you, Jason, was going to be more focused on this season as a whole. Because in my opinion, Burrow, who you got top dollar for, in my opinion, Mixing, Chase, and Higgins in trade. will get almost exactly what you would get preseason, in my opinion. Just looking at the market, they all have the exact same value. You're not getting anybody panicking in the streets about Mixing Higgins Chase. So is there actionable fantasy advice for somebody that is looking at the offensive line? You said it's probably not going to get fixed this year. You know, was T. Higgins drafted at a point where that ceiling is not available to him? Or is Joe Mixing somebody that you would go out and let me give you an example. Pursue a D'Andre Swift.
in a Joe Mixon trade simply on the basis of how bad this team has been post Super Bowl? You know, if you aim high enough, I think I'm fine with that. I would only aim for the stars. They're playing the Jets this week, and I expect things will get at the very least, if not better this season, better this week. Joe Mixon should be a great play this week, and I doubt that... Burroughs taking five or six sacks in this matchup. So, you know, if you want higher trade capital, the following three weeks, the dolphins, the Ravens, the Saints, that looks a little bit dicier. But right is that record for the Bengals through seven weeks? Yeah, I mean, it could get a little bit. They did lose to the Jets last year.
The Super Bowl hangover, well, I mean, yeah, the Jets beat the Titans last year, too. It's a wild world this NFL, but I expect the Bengals to handle the Jets. An interesting stat here for the Bengals. In 2021, 78% of their snaps, they were a three or more wide receiver set. That's up to 92% this year. So that is, that's something that could change and you get more. You bring the beef to the offensive line. You get some tight ends out there for some blocking. I don't remember if it was Kyle. You mentioned this or somebody else. But a lot of talk about Joe Burrow basically asking for more wide receivers, nobody in the backfield to help chip, and putting himself in a position to get sack more often because, you know, he wants to open things up. He asked for empty sets this past game. He went against Zach Taylor. So, I mean. And you can still do an empty set and have.
more blockers on the line. Yeah, but you don't have a running back there to chip a blitz, and he's getting destroyed. So panic button, I don't think we're saying panic button. No, not yet. But look, you lose this week against the Jets, your 0 and 3 with the matchups Jason just talked about. This might be the one time that you could super cash in on some names. Well, the thing is like, Joe Burrow was the only bangle where I was actually concerned about the draft price. Because in one quarterback league, I won't rehash all the stuff. But, like, Mixing has still been great. He was a top 10 play that week one with no touchdowns. He was top 20 this past week with no touchdowns. Jamar Chase and T. Higgins have flip-flop who was great between the two weeks. And that's going to happen.
Look at their last stretch of games, 10 or games or so that they've played together. Their targets are very, very equal. Sometimes both of them will have the good game, but more often than not, one of them will have the great game and the other one will be just okay. So I'm still completely all in on the weapons. The sacks don't matter to me when it comes to that. I'm starting Joe Burrow right now. I mean, where you drafted him, he viewed him as your main quarterback. Not a streaming kind of player. Yeah, I mean, it's, whereas Carson Wince is out there with back-to-back QB3 finishes. Oh, it's so gross. I'm not starting Carson Wins over, over Burrow this week. I am not either, but this could be a three strikes and you need to put Burrow on the bench. Another unsolved mystery. Russell Wilson. Let's ride. Russell Wilson. Let's idle.
Yeah, this has been ugly through two weeks to quarterback 14 and quarterback 22. That is a far cry from when Peyton Manning arrived in Denver and took the league by storm. And I think we all know why that is. That's because Russell Wilson doesn't have Adam Gays. That's right. Oh, yeah. I didn't put that together. Yeah, that's the real. He's missing that crucial piece. Now, right now, Russell Wilson, we're looking at this situation. We're saying. they have yet to figure it out. There have been, if you watch these two games, the thing that stuck out to me the most is momentum. You have kind of, you know, to use that car analogy that you said, let's idle. It has been stop start. It has been, this play looks good. We're running the football well. We can't finish the drive. We're moving it down the field. We have time management issues. Russ doesn't have weapons beyond Cortland Sutton right now. And nothing seemed fluid to me. So.
When you look at the situation, the question for fantasy players, will he turn it around? And are you relying on him right now? Are you waiting with him on your bench? I do think he turns it around. Am I relying on him right now? No. I would rather have him be on the bench, especially not knowing exactly the health of Jerry Judy. I think if it's Cortland Sutton and a bunch of Jags, then you're probably not going to get enough out of... And that's the Carson Wentz question then. Carson Wentz or Russell Wilson? You can also do that with Tua, who is the number one start sit on our website. Is it play the bills this week? He does. Yeah, no thank you. But it's like Tua, Tua Russell Wilson is the number one starts hit question because if you have Russ, you feel this all the more. Sure. You're sitting there and you've gotten below average performances and Tua sitting there having, you know, dominated last week. Yeah, I would play Carson Wins over Russell Wilson this week, not knowing the health of Jerry Judy, seeing that he's... What about Tua?
You can't just judo throw that question out of here. No, I'll go to it as well. That one is definitely scary based on how the bill's defense has been, and you wonder, can anyone do it against the bills? But if you're, if you are down against the bills and you have Jalen Wattle and you have Tyree Kill and you have to throw, I do think that they will, that Tua will have a good game. The San Francisco 49ers, I believe, are one and a half point road favorites. Yes. Against Denver. So that's, I mean, that tells you a lot about where these teams are right now. Sure. Denver is not in a position of power. San Francisco's got a good defense. So I think that difference in defense there, I would go to as well. So if you zoom out and look at just what, everything that's going on with the Denver Broncos through the two weeks, inside of the red zone, things have been.
wacky, like abnormal where, so through two weeks, every quarterback who has six passing attempts in the red zone, they have at least one touchdown. Russ Wilson has 18 red zone passing attempts. Goodness. And zero passing touchdowns in the red zone. That is at at typical for Russell Wilson. Including with that one that got called back with Sutton. And that's the thing. Where he barely touched the sideline. Yeah, looking at all the eight, we had the team go through, look at all the 18 red zone passing attempts. So you have. You have four would-be touchdowns where the receiver caught it but didn't get both feet down. You know, a lot of conservative checking downs and two delay of games. This is where I was talking about the coaching staff not being comfortable, all being brand new in their roles. I think that is, that's where the problem start for me, is that the coaching is too new.
And they will get better as time goes along. I don't know how long that will take. That could be like a half a season thing before these guys start feeling comfortable, being more confident, getting their play calls in on time so that the team isn't scrambled. Russ Wilson gets the play, has enough time to. to absorb that information, check out the field, see if he needs to alter anything. And then hand the ball off to Giovanni Williams. Sure. But there's just, there's a lot of weird stuff going on in the red zone that I don't think continues all year long. It unfortunately, though, could continue for at least a few more weeks. Do you agree with that, Jason? Yeah, yeah, I do. I think that, I think that analysis is right. There's a lot of coaching mishaps going on.
Because everything is brand new, it needs a little bit more time to figure out what to do, especially in the red zone. They look inept in the red zone. The home crowd calling out the play clock like it's a Yonnes field bowl attempt, which, man, we've been there. We've been at the Sun's game, counting down Yonis's free. But you do it to the other team. That's true. But this is helping your team. This is like, guys, you've got to get the ball up. is one, really fun, and two, really sad. Are we giving too much credit or the benefit of the doubt to Nathaniel Hackett and that staff to figure it out, whereas I don't remember us giving the benefit of the doubt to like Chicago and Iber Fluse and figuring out that offense to throw the ball more than 11 times, or is that, you know, that's dysfunction that we think will continue, but.
I think it's just a matter of the talent on the field. When you've got Russell Wilson, the history of him being great, and you've got him to help you figure it out, that's where I have more trust in that situation. All right. Let's get into the Thursday night preview. Thursday night breakdown. Well, gentlemen, let's analyze a over under of 38 points. The Pittsburgh Steelers at one and one, traveling to take on the Cleveland Browns at one and one. The Draft King Sportsbook line, Cleveland minus four and a half. Since 2017, games with a closing line of 38 or lower hit the under 54% of the time. And have made people vomit 75% of the time. People are fantasy players, Mike. Well, when I say people, I mean, it's one of the same. That's the one of the same. Last year, let me give you the two scores from these matchups. Week 8, Pittsburgh won a thriller, 15 to 10. Oh, Barn burner.
And in week 17, they really stepped it up, 26 to 14. Okay, okay. I'll take 26 points. Yeah, I mean, in the context of their other matchups, maybe that is good. But this is Mitch Trubisky versus Jacoby Brissette, which is our, what, 31st and 30th ranked quarterbacks on the week? They're at the bottom. So who's below Mitch? Somebody vet that, because if we've got 30 and 31, I just want to know who's below these two. Who's worse? Cooper Rush. Okay. Jacobi Burst. Wait, oh, we said Brissette. It's Cooper. Okay, Cooper Rush. I feel like I should move them up. Which one? Cooper. Neither of these teams, or sorry, neither of these quarterbacks has a passing line set above 200 yards. And so your first task here, gentlemen, is to distribute less than 100 yards passing, or sorry, less than 200 yards passing to the various weapons on these rosters.
and find a pathway for joy. Well, that's why, like, Pat Fryermuth is okay because most tight ends don't get a lot of work. So you don't need a ton for him to be okay for the position. The other, you know, the wide receivers, like, okay, Deonti Johnson, he's been getting the targets. He's still a double-digit target machine. He's clearly the number one in this offense. That's great. Even still. With double-digit targets, he hasn't been a top 24 wide receiver in either of the first two weeks. I don't know how often he is a top 24 wide receiver. So, I mean, he's Jacobi Myers. We don't want to say it because he's way better than Jacob Myers. Sure. But I just got Jacob Myers off the waivers. And if you're telling me, what was your investment there? Four fab dollars. Okay, that's worth it. Yeah, you know. I was curious what people were going to spend. I saw him on there.
I didn't need him myself, so I did not compete with you. But four is fine. And, you know, if Deonté Johnson was on the waivers, what would he go forward? And I know that's not fair. Yeah, I don't really agree with that. Deontes been a much more prolific receiver. He is clearly better. Top 10 last year. But as far as in this current world with Mitch Trubisky and the struggling offense. That's fair. You know, he just seems like a volume PPR play that is a talented wide receiver who's still going to be disappointing. You're going to play him. Outside of him, you're not playing any other, you know, Chase Claypool, George Pickens. George Pickens shouldn't even be on your roster at this point. He's a talented wide receiver who's on the field and he'll have a big player to going forward, but not someone you could ever start with reliability.
And I think that those guys are all better than the wide receiver options on the Browns. Naji was better last week. Yeah, I mean, Noggi is in your lineup. Noggi, too much volume for a running back. Exactly. He had 21 opportunities last week, which was five more attempts than week one, and five catches, which is the thing that you really wanted to see. Running back scoring was so pathetic last week. Naji had 11.4 points, and he was the running back 13. The dude had 15 carries for 49 yards and five catches for 40 yards. How many touchdowns? Zero. And he was almost the running back one. That's where just stating how somebody finished on the week is a kind of a disorienting thing. It doesn't tell the truth necessarily. What that tells me is the running backs were terrible. You were probably disappointed in nausea last week. Compared to what you got last year. And you ended up with almost the RB1.
So that's really the story. On the other side, Nick Chubb, you know, once again leaves the NFL in force-miss tackles, three touchdowns last week. He is a beast. The touchdowns, I mean, is fabulous when you get a three-touchdown game from Nick Chubb. The touchdowns will, I think, continue to jump back and forth between him and Kareem Hunt. I mean, I'd much rather have Nick Chubb. I'm not saying that I wanted to play Kareem Hunt over him, but. It's just the story continues for them. But Kareem Hunt was, because running backs were so bad, was still the running back 24 without scoring. 15 opportunities in both weeks. That's what you like to see. Consistency for Kareem Hunt as the second man up. Amari Cooper, big bounce back week last week. Nine for 101 and 1.25% targets per route run through two weeks, 10 targets. It is Omari and no one else in the passing game for me. Yeah.
It's Deontay and Amari, and honestly, they're pretty close to each other in this game. And then that's it. And then check out. Log off. So the total implied point total is, I got one more for you, Jason. Total implied point total is 21 to 16 Browns. Which defense do you prefer in this game? Oh, that is a legit question. Yeah, I mean, they're both in play. They're definitely both in play. I'm playing Cleveland. We should mention for Cleveland, Miles Garrett wasn't practicing on Tuesday. That's going to be a problem for me. So we don't know. I thought that was Clowny. That was Gary? Clowny's already out. Oh my goodness, Garrett and Clowny? Yeah. So I. Mitch, Mitch cannot take advantage of that. That is true. Well, I'm not saying Mitch. This isn't like, oh, get the Steelers in. It's I might back away from the Cleveland Browns if both of those guys are out. Well, one of them's out for sure. And the other one in Miles might be out. So monitor that.
Well, that's kind of my point, though. I don't think that Mr. Rubik can take advantage of that on the road to the degree that I'd be afraid of the Brown's defense. But you're not going to get, like, your opportunity for sacks and things like that goes way down. It's not saying that the Steelers' offense is going to be good. It's that the fantasy defense of the Browns also won't be good. That's my concern. Okay. Yeah, I mean, last week they certainly pippooed away the game against the... Oh, my goodness, did they? New York Jets. Would you play the... Cleveland defense or would you play the Green Bay defense against Tampa in Tampa. That's interesting. Cleveland. Or the Giants defense against Dallas and Cooper Rush on Monday Night Football, which is at home. I think I'm sticking with Cleveland. Yeah, I'd go them over the Giants, but I'd play Dallas over Cleveland, I think. Certainly. Just off the top of my head. Is Chubb the number one running back on the year? Yep.
I mean, when you go... Three touchdowns last week. He was a beast. Yeah. Yeah, he was. I mean, he always has been. 87 rushing yards. You trade him high? No. I don't. I... Well, let's talk about all the underwhelmers. Okay. Dalvin Cook. I would rather have... I'd rather have Dalvin Cook, yes. Christian McCaffrey. Yeah, of course. Richard McCaffrey. Derek Henry.
