He's looked good. I don't know. 25th is where he finished in week one. That's not the expectations that we had for him. A hundred yards by halftime. He looked good on the field. And then you add in this matchup and the high over under and the expectation that both teams are going to need to be able to throw the ball. I like Hollywood. Haven't really seen big games from either quarterback yet this year. I mean, Lamar Jackson, his numbers have not been worthy of his draft capital, nor has Patrick Mahomes.

56:55 ↗

It's almost like you should draft late. Yeah. Good value on Kyler and Josh Allen or booty scooting. Cam Newton. Foot Clan game day alerts at join the foot.com Sunday live. Mike will be live on our socials. It's time to prop it. Prop it like it's hot. Presented by Monkey Knife Fight. All right. It's time for our favorite week three props over at Monkey Knife Fight. You can go to ballers, picks.

dot com, use the code ballers. You get a 100% deposit match. And we've each, each selected a prop from this upcoming week that we are making a decision on. I love my prop. I'm going to be honest with you. So far, I'm two for two on these weeks. But I love this one more than I've liked any of the other. Jonathan Taylor right now is listed at 83.5 rushing yards.

57:55 ↗

I am taking more than that. I believe he will have more than that. If you didn't know, he plays. 83. Yeah, he plays against the Jets. Yeah. So he had over 100 last week. 11.5 point favorites. So, you know, he had over 100 already. And it's the Jets. This is now his backfield in their favored. But it is the Jets that he's playing against.

58:19 ↗

And so, you know, our premium projections, we actually stat out every single player based on how they score their fantasy points, where they should rank at the end of the week. And our premium projections have Jonathan Taylor, Thomas, down for 125 rushing yards as kind of that. So when I see 83 and a half and I see the Jets, I think that, well, he gets to play the Jets. Well, the Jets. And so, you know, I'll put it this way. The Jets have given up 280 rushing yards in two games.

58:47 ↗

And it's the Jets. So I'm taking more. I'll put it this way. Here's a stat. I'll put it this way. I like playing against the Jets. Yeah. Okay. That seems like a smash. And I have Travis Kelsey, the Monday night matchup. I'm getting in on it. Highlight the prime time. Get a little bit more fun on Monday. Travis Kelsey, six and a half receptions. I am taking the more. Week one, he had six. So we would not have hit it nine receptions in week two. And if you look at what the Ravens, where they have actually given up some fantasy points.

59:17 ↗

Top 10 weeks to fantasy tight ends, both weeks. And to me, that translates to Travis Kelsey, hitting seven or more receptions. Yeah, I love this. Now, you were talking about the Jets, right? Yes. You know who I like to talk about? I like to talk about the Vikings. Oh, sure. When you play the Vikings. There's a lot teams of target. My prop this week, I'm going to take Derek Henry more than 95.5 rushing. That's a lot. Yards. All but one of Derek Henry's over.

59:45 ↗

Over 100-yard games last year came with Ryan Tannahill, and he did it more than half the time with Ryan Tannahill. He's facing the Vikings this week. The Vikings have given up 139 and 141 rushing yards. They just lost Anthony Barr, and that's their first two games. And you've seen the carry count for Derek Henry be right where you expect it, 31 and 25. He hasn't transformed yet, though. Into Derek Yetty? He's not the Yetty. No, but he has had one game already over this benchmark.

60:15 ↗

And I think it's going to happen this week. 95 and a half yards. Yeah, probably. I'm taking the more and a reminder to check out monkey knife fight. Tons of these more or less player prop games. Ballerspicks.com. Use the code ballers. You get a 100% deposit match up to $50. That's ballers. Play with us. Ballerspicks. What was that for? It's disturbing on every level. I just like when the Foot Clan is getting in on these games. It's fun.

60:43 ↗

All right, yeah, ballardspicks.com for that. One injury update, Julio Jones, game time decision on Sunday. Oh, man. If Julio's active, you play him. That is my policy. I'm not going to sit him. He did not come off the field due to injury this past week. He dropped the touchdown pass. He came off the field and stretched and they got back on the field. Julio has played through injuries so many times before and usually been fine. All right, that'll do it for today's show. Good luck this week. It's going to be a lot of fun.

61:11 ↗
