Week 10 Studs & Duds, Rising Stars, A Dingo Ate My Brady

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

With your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ah, welcome to the show. Hey, Monday! Are you snapping the football? No, I'm getting hyped. Okay. Blue there are two. Look. Say, hey. When you're playing, when the top two seeds are playing in your league of record and your team drops a buck 80.

Mike and I were facing one another this week. You feel pretty, pretty good. I don't know what bothered me more. The fact that Mike's team scored 10 total touchdowns against me, which bothered me tremendously. It should have been 11. Stupid Ben Watson, get in there. It bothered me more that Mike's demeanor changed so profoundly at the studio. Because when Duke Johnson, he had Nick Chubb by Duke Johnson in this matchup. I was flexing Duke.

And when Duke scored, it was very close. Mike kind of melted into a depression and things were looking okay. And then from the moment Nick Chub broke a 92-yard touchdown off until I left the studio in tears, Mike's demeanor was vastly different. Jason, you can attest to that. Oh, yeah. I mean, I got to, I entered into the scene right as Mike switched from sadness to he.

It was more concerned. It wasn't sadness. It was just at that time, both of our teams were performing extremely well. So it had turned into this. We are going to be the top two scoring teams on the week and one of us is going to lose. And it started, I mean, it was going back and forth. I didn't know if it was going to be me, but then it wasn't. Ha ha!

We assumed that you could not know who the winner was. Yes. Because, Andy, you still have Sequin Barclay, Odell Beckham, and George Kittle left to go. And you pretty much can't win. No, I can't win. And thank you, Melvin, Gordon, Nick Chubb, Mitch Terbisky, Devante Adams, Brandon Cooks, everybody but Ben Watson on your team. I love you, Nick Chubb. It's Monday, November 12th. What's crazy is he benched carry on? Yesterday was.

Veterans Day. So happy Veterans Day to everybody. I was driving in this morning. I was thinking about my grandfather, who recently passed about five, six weeks ago. He was a veteran of the United States Army. And my great uncle just passed away. He was a Marine fought in World War II. And I was sitting here. I was driving in. The roads were a little emptier. Some people have the day off. And anybody who's not doing the show today with us in this studio has the day off. And they'll be.

running out of here soon after we get it up. But I was just thinking we get to talk about fantasy football for a living, and we get to make up ridiculously stupid names, and I get to be deeply, emotionally wrecked when Mike's team destroys mine. And that is a privilege to get to do that. Certainly. Thank you to all the veterans that have honorably served this country, and we appreciate those freedoms. We live in such a cynical.

political landscape nowadays, and there's nothing political about the sacrifice that every veteran has made. So thank you very much. Happy Veterans Day to one and all. To one and all.

We've got our Monday one liners.

We got our Monday puns from Monday Punday. Yes, from the Foot Clan. Very nice, Jason. We got some real winners here, okay? You're going to enjoy them. Starting with Ebron James. Oh, I see. I see what you did there. Andy Dolton. Yeah, that's fair. Ben Ruthlessburger. Yeah, he was amazing. Leshaun. Jason loves these beyond belief. I do love them, but I,

Ben Rothlisberger, one of the teams in our dynasty league is the worst team I've ever seen on paper ever. And I lost, I had a great game. I lost, freaking Spencer Ware put up a touchdown on me. But it's all because of Ben Ruthlessberger and his 50 points. LaShawn Mcjoy. Yeah, a lot of joy with with LaShawn. A lot of people play the Jets defense. Uh-oh. Betting on the Jets.

I played the, in our, in our listener league, I played the Jets defense against the Buffalo defense. One of those was a good idea. Look, if you wanted to bet against Matt Barkley, you did so on, on your own accord. Yeah, your own peril to your own demise. I mean, totally saw it coming. Matt Berkeley. You've got Tragon Smith.

From my roster, gone from my roster. Yeah, what? That was. Goosed it. That was unfortunate. So here's to you, Alan Robinson. Yeah, what a game. Alan Rob's a win. Coo coo, I like that. Poopped in his big Boyd pants. Boyd. Yeah. Shout out to Tyler. Man, I wanted. Shout out to Tyler. Phony Michelle. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Dingo ate my Brady. A dingo.

Hey, Bob Brady. Golden Tate, the third string. Oh, that's a nice one. And then how about this one? OJ, how weird your quarterback threw for 400 plus yards and you got one catch for 15 years. That's my favorite. Yeah, that was, look, fantasy football. Very thoughtful. Is a son of a gun sometimes. It's a.

It's interesting. It's all odds and probabilities. You need to win 60% of those little, you know, the decisions to say probability says, you know, this happens or that doesn't. And probability did not say Nick Chubb would drop a 38 burger on me. No? No. But he did. So that's always fun. Let's get into the rewind. Weekly rewind. All right. This sucks. Yeah.

Cooper Cup has torn his ACL. Did it week 10 against the Seahawks. And look, there's no two ways about it. This really hurts the Rams. Yeah, super. I mean, he's a great player. It's incredibly unfortunate for the team, for the man, for fantasy teams as well. It's just really crappy part of the game. But Cooper Cup will be out. I mean, we would expect.

Josh Reynolds would take his spot. But little more Gerald Everett. The emergence of Gerald Everett has been extremely interesting for the Los Angeles Rams. And I would expect that trend to continue. I don't know if Everett can get to the place where you're actually starting him, but we might get there. Probably. Yeah, I mean.

Eight fantasy points, two weeks in a row, but I'm not looking that direction. That's what I'm saying. We might get there by the end of the season, but probably not. Yeah, if I, we've done this game before. If I had to bet on one, I would bet on Josh Reynolds, but I really hope to not bet on one. I want to, you know, if you have Robert Woods, if you have Cooper Cups, then great. Andy said this before. What? Robert Woods, Brandon Cooks. Oh, Cooper Cups. Yes, I did.

You know, Andy said this before the show. It's like the only worry with one of those guys is that one game, it just kind of goes away from that wide receiver. But now with Cooper Cup gone, I think it's Woods and Cooks are very safe. Yeah. Not that they weren't already. Yeah, Woods and Cooks are great. Speaking of betting, though, Red Dead Dixon dropped a single.

dropped a single reception, Jason. This isn't our weekly rewind? It's that important? He said betting, and I started thinking about the bet we made that I won. And the review saying that we're paid for us. Rockstar. Let's get to that. Rockstar. If you want to pay us to talk about Red Dead, we're completely open to that. They won't because we do it anyways. Nobody knows what you're talking about unless you saw my Twitter.

But we got a one-star review, which, by the way, those reviews really matter. And it said sneaky Red Dead ads. And how they liked our show, but they resent the sneaky Red Dead advertising. And listen, man, I want to be paid by Rockstar. I love Red Dead Red Dead Redemption, too. But we share our lives with you. And much of my life is out on the Wild West right now. Look, I'm...

I paid for my copy. I paid for the upgrade. You're darn right I did. That's on you, Rockstar. I feel I feel ripped off now. That's right. Exactly. We are the ones. We are the one star. We are the one star review. I'm submitting my formal appeal and asking you to go in to Apple iTunes and fix that on our behalf. And or get Rockstar to sponsor us. So you're right. And then I'll take your one star review. That's much better.

Marvin Jones left week 10 against the bears with a knee injury awaiting updates. That's unfortunate. Man, the lions. They are bad. Yeah, if they lose Marvin Jones and now they come into this season, basically having given away Eric Ebron, now giving away Golden Tate and then lose Marvin Jones. Yuck. Yeah, I mean, I guess you like Gala Day in that situation. Maybe. I would. Like a man on an island.

You know, the thing about Matthew Stafford is Matthew Stafford, no matter how bad he plays the first three quarters, usually has a decent fourth quarter to make it somewhat competitive. And if he's only got one target, I would like Goladay in that situation. You guys saw Terrell Austin, defensive coordinator for the Bengals, was fired this morning, and Marvin Lewis has taken over as defensive coordinator. Yes. All right. Cool. I'm glad you guys know that. Maybe you get a one-game morale bump, but the defense is just too bad. Jakeem Grant.

carted off the field with an Achilles. Devante Parker exited with the shoulder injury. ESPN's Adam Schefter came out, talked about AJ Green, is looking more likely that he'll return in December. Season's falling apart a little bit for the Bengals right now. Yeah. There's still just a game out. I don't even know if it's a full game because of the tie. Maybe a game and a half. Yeah. I mean, the Steelers are surging, though. Yeah.

Speaking of Achilles, to complete the saddest season in pro NFL history, we didn't talk about it because we talked about Des Bryant and what he means being involved. If you didn't hear Des Bryant after getting late cut, cut late, too late to sign as a free agent for big money, finally finds a team, signs, and tears his Achilles, right? Wasn't that? Yeah. And so he's gone. Yeah, and it's probably the,

I think it's the end of his career. I think it's the, it could be the end for Des Bryant. He's already, you know, around that 30 mark. So the recovery will be difficult. Then you're going to have to find a team that didn't have a lot of interest this year. That's willing to go give you another chance. It's going to be a very, very uphill battle for Des Bryant to make it back. And just, yeah. Cool. Let me on Bell.
