Jason declares that he is going to lose despite holding the week's third-highest score and admits that he and Josh concede early. Later, the desk proposes a machine that punches him for every loss declaration if he still wins, and Jason says he would accept it.
The hosts cannot imagine a useful Giants locker-room speech after the impossible collapse, so Brian Daboll simply says he will see everyone tomorrow and leaves. The kicker then receives a deflated game ball as a parting gift before it is spiked at him and he is fired.
The listener ritual produces a dense positive run—Wham Bam Thank You Lamb, Quinshawn Studkins, Sir Nix a Lot, Bo Namath, Yay McBride, and Jamarvelous Chase—before the negative side lands on Baron Waller, Bill Krapski, Groan Odunze, Meowvin Harrison Jr., Saquon Barfley, and Trayvie Gone Henderson.
Trayvie Gone cues an audible 'it's over' reaction while video stays on the desk. Mike has no speech beyond Daboll's tomorrow line; listener Tanner asks the show to tell Mike that Henderson sucks; Jake Ciely's diagnosis is that the oven was never on; and identical snaps with an undrafted back push the desk to a cut recommendation, except for Mike if his film conviction remains.
Andy takes Arizona at +300 while Jason acts as the book. With the Cardinals ahead, Jason prematurely Apple Pays the $300 potential winnings so that a reversal will hurt more; Arizona collapses, Andy sends $400 back, and Jason points out how large the return transfer looks even though the net loss is $100.
Jason reviews the trail behind his outgoing trades: Burrow, Deebo, Bill Kroski, Darren Waller, and Breece Hall have left their new managers hurt or displeased. The hosts compare each deal to handing over a grenade after pulling the pin and name the pattern a post-trade Reaper thing.
The 17-team chopped league has repeatedly recycled Brock Bowers: Jason spent more than $500 and was chopped, another manager paid about $250 and was chopped, and Al acquired him for roughly $31 to $36 after he nearly went unclaimed. Al's top-scoring superteam now needs 34 Monday points from Montgomery and LaPorta, and the published show puts his answers on the live three-human Ducers Alley camera.
Will Dissly is called especially important to the show, the hosts demand the button, and the published video delivers: a jerseyed football player rides a moose through a mountain landscape across the lower frame while Andy, Jason, and Mike clap and dance.
Jeremy points out that Green Bay stopped rationing Josh Jacobs once the offense needed him late. The hosts explain that Jeremy saw it in person while rooting for his Packers amid enough traveling fans to force the Cardinals onto a silent count at home.
Andy, Jason, and Mike open with Jason's familiar League of Record concession despite holding the week's third-highest score, later inspiring a hypothetical machine that punches him for every premature loss declaration. The Giants' impossible collapse becomes Brian Daboll's wordless 'I'll see you guys tomorrow' speech and a parting game ball fired at the kicker. Monday Punday runs through a dense positive and negative listener list before landing on Trayvie Gone Henderson; an audio cue plays while the video remains at the ordinary desk, a teppanyaki listener sends Mike a direct message that Henderson sucks, and the hosts conclude the regular-season oven was never on. Andy then recounts taking Cardinals +300 against Jason's homemade book: Jason prematurely Apple Pays $300 during the lead, Andy must send $400 back after the collapse, and Jason wins the $100 net bet. Jason's trades of Burrow, Deebo, Bill Kroski, Darren Waller, and Breece Hall become a grenade handoff and a post-trade Reaper pattern. Producer Jeremy, addressed as Al Borland, receives a sustained live Ducers Alley cut while explaining that his top-scoring chopped-league team bought Brock Bowers for almost nothing and may become the next Bowers roster to be chopped. Kyle is only asked to vet a Matthew Stafford record and never answers on camera. Jeremy's Packers fandom is reinforced by his attendance at the Cardinals game. Finally, Will Dissly's importance to the show triggers a produced football-player-on-a-moose animation while all three hosts clap along—the episode's clearest visual payoff.
For Bill. Yeah, for all the... And he finished with 5.3 and 3.7 fantasy points. And the next three weeks is the Chiefs tough to run on, the Seahawks good defense, Detroit tough to run on. If Rico only had his success because he was playing against Dallas, then what do you say about Bill? Yeah. It didn't last for Kamani Vidal. Nine for 20. Honestly, he was the guy. He was the main running back. The charger game went weird, and it turned into we have to throw it a ton. Five targets is great, but game script-wise, he just didn't get anything going. Let's have another conversation here. Travis, it's the end, junior. Eight for 44, that's not bad. Just eight carries, though. Outside the top 20 for three straight weeks, it was so hot to begin.
But does it come back to... Yeah, it comes back. This is a... So he's still getting the utilization you want to see. Now, at the end of the game, you might look at this and say, oh, he didn't get the utilization. But at the very end of the game, they had, you know, two in the game as they were getting blown out. He is their primary back. This was a bad game. It was a bad game. And it's been a tough stretch. But it's also, we just brought this up with Bill, the schedule of like going to KC and the Seahawks.
And Detroit, well, the last three games for Travis ETN was Kansas City and the Seahawks and the Rams. Now they go to buy. When they come back out, he's got a little bit easier schedule. He is projected for zero on the buy, though. So he's more of a... I think you start him every game, but your expectations have to be much. Okay, that's what I was going to ask. Will he be a matchup choice? So because he would be a flex type of option, assuming, like on my roster, he was be my running back three. There's definitely a world where I could start another wide receiver over him in a bad matchup, but I don't think he is like a, you can only play him in a good matchup. Because any time that there's a PI in the end zone, you can walk away with a Travis E.T. and touchdown. He scored more fantasy points than this guy. Seven last week, four this week. Sequin Barclay. Oh, man. Oh, man. 18 for 44 this week in a game that they.
dominated. RB 17 on the season. But the last two weeks have been especially painful. In fact, really the last five because you had an RB 11 finish, but then it's RB 31. So seven single digit fantasy points in three or five games. Let's just leave it there. People want to have the conversation. I don't know what the conversation leads you to. You don't bench, say, Juan. The big, the big plays are in. currently not happening. Do you trade him with the name? No, I personally don't think. Would you rather have Gentie? This is the time where I think you, if you have him, you hold him. If you talk about trades, this is the time where you can trade, you could trade for Barclay and probably get him affordably. Not like, you're not getting him cheap. He's still got the big name. But I think. So you trade Giovante for him? No.
Would I trade Javonte and Williams for Sequin Barclay? Yes, I would. I'm just trying to think what affordably means. No, but that was a perfect. That's a perfect example. So you would rather have Javante. Just seven weeks in, man. And Javantes have, what, one dud? Pretty much. No. Give me that Dallas offense. Jason would do it. Mike would not do it. Andy would what? Host. You coward! I think I'd rather, I think if I was in that situation, I'd rather have Sequin. I mean, would you trade Kyran away for Sequin? No. Judkins? No. DeAndre Swift? Yes. I would. No one will probably do that. That one, that would be your affordability. Possibly. If you could trade Swift for Barclay, I would do it. Yeah, I mean, you're not, there's not a lot of other names really out there. We didn't talk about Rico, did we? No, we haven't talked stats of the Rico Chuba split. No.
Yeah, I guess. Because he didn't, he doesn't fit in either category. It wasn't like an, it wasn't a terrible game. He's a top 20 running back as of right now. There's still two games, so he might get knocked out. But he was 17 for 79, one for 17 through the air. So, I mean, not a, not a special game, but he got to 10 points without scoring. He was better than Chuba. He was way better than Chuba, but it was a. splits. Yeah. I mean, 50, 50, basically. So they, if the coach is going to run it like this, it's going to. And I believe they are. I believe they will completely run it like this. There's quite a bit of correlation between our wide receiver duds and those quarterback duds from earlier. Roma dunce, just two for 31. Jaylon Wada, one for 15 from the worst quarterback. We've seen in a while right now. Two is playing so terribly. Three more picks. Brian Thomas Jr., three for 31. Got hurt. You had.
Matthew Golden. We talked about the bad game for Jordan Love. Golden was four for 37. Never been targeted inside the 10-yard line this year. So that's not good. And then the sky fell for Kendrick Bourne. Two for 14. Joan Jennings didn't do much. The other duds, D. K. McCaff, we talked about it at length reacting to the Thursday night game. So maybe focus more on Tet McMillan, who Ted McMillan comes like. It was a bummer, man. It was a bummer, but. It was a little bit of a, it was flagged on this show. Like, yes, he scored twice last week. He was in the 30s in yards last week. So you're two straight weeks where he's in the 30s in total yardage. It's, I mean, we're getting to the halfway point of the season. I don't know if we just lean on the talent or we adjust expectations because quarterback changes happening. It might be better for the receivers. It also.
is a variable we just don't know what the outcome's going to be if i were carolina i'd lean on dowdell and tuba so it's just a little bit of a tier adjustment in my mind right now for tett maybe that's not fair you tell me i i think it is fair um but i am still a believer when i when i watch the film i don't see anything that looks like he's doing wrong i see separation i see You know, he's playing for the Panthers. It's not working out very well. Maybe the quarterback changes is positive. I would love to have Tetaroa on my fantasy team. So if I could acquire him cheaply, I certainly would. Well, there was an AJ Brown tech conversation weeks ago. I'm assuming that is off the table now. Oh, for sure. That's not going to happen. As in you would not trade AJ Brown for Tet, you're saying. Yeah, I mean, AJ Brown has. Because I think you sent that offer out and got rejected. I did and did. And probably for the best.
George Kittle, Goose, Goddard, close to it. Didn't get into the end zone, just three for 18. Oh, Dallas Goddard. Meows and Taylor. Like, I fought, I fought against the Dallas Goddard. I was like he just, it. You did? Like, no, no, I can't do this. And then finally I'm like, okay, I'll play Dallas Goddard. And then now it feels bad. Yeah. Mouse, meows and Taylor. Yeah, mouse. Five targets three for 31. We talked about. Like, it's not possible for him to produce when your quarterback throws for 40-something yards. Yep. Just impossible. Hunter Henry, 4-4-33, Harold Fanon. This was a bummer. Four-for-36. Throw this away. The Harold Fanon, so you look at the utilization. It is everything you want with Najoku out. This was a bad weather game. So, like, on prize picks, I took the two quarterbacks, went less. You know, it was easy. Bad weather, to me, I would love.
to start Harold Fana next week. Okay. They will not be blowing out the New England Patriots on the road. That was Thuds and Duds presented by Lowe's. Lowe's knows Sundays are for NFL football. Earn your Sunday with Lowe's, the official partner of the NFL. Big show tomorrow. Do not miss it. Waiverwire. And we didn't really bring him up much, but if I could trade Travis Kelsey for something. right now i would absolutely do it Travis Kelsey it was my he was my biggest worry from the chiefs and he had a big broken play like it was it was a broken coverage he was wide open had a nice long play he had nine percent targets in russia rice's first game back i mean that is that is an abysmal number for him wasn't even a full-time player yeah so he he's the one that has always been my big fear of
Can Rice and Kelsey both get it done? I think it's bad days ahead for Kelsey. Tomorrow's a waiver show. We have our optimized ultimate dashboard available to you at Jointhefoot.com.
