in the predictable metrics. But beyond that, Kyle Pitts offers the most week-to-week upside. He's number four in 20-plus yard passes for the tight-in position. You've got to score eventually to be relevant for fantasy. So if he never scores, yeah, there's egg on your face. But give me the targets. Give me the fact that he lined up 39% of the time just as a wide receiver in these games. And I'm going to take another shot with him.

67:10 ↗

Yeah, it's good advice because I think people might be scared and the behind the scenes metrics are there. My tight end start of the week is Mike Gassicki at Tampa Bay. We talked about the toolless dolphins having no chance. They stink. They can't run the ball. Will Fuller's on IR. It is a mess.

67:28 ↗

But they have to pass to Gassiki. Yeah, they do. Yes, they do. 18 targets over the last two weeks, both top 10 tight-in finishes. And Tampa Bay is 27th in points given up to tight-in. And they are the only team in the entire league that has yet to not give up a top 12 fantasy week in points to the tight-in position. Gisiki is a great play this week.

67:50 ↗

I love the Gassiki call. Mine is Dalton Schultz, the Giants. This is a big moment. Yeah, the Giants are giving up the fourth most points to the tight end position, and they have not played elite tight ends. Usually, you know, when you go into our streamfinder tool, join the foot.com, you can see, oh, this team's hemorrhaging points the tight end position. Oh, they played Waller and they played Kelsey. So, of course, but the Giants are...

68:17 ↗

Not playing those high-end guys, and they're still giving up points. Dalton Schultz is who I thought or is who I hoped Blake Jarwin would become. What if we just rename him Blake Jarwin as his nickname? We did that. Yeah, because then Blake Jarwin's doing it. Dalton Schultz is playing fantastic football. He has a 32% target share over the last two weeks. Dak Prescott. He's looking at him. He's looking for him. He's always looked to the tight-in position.

68:47 ↗

It's Dalton Schultz now. If you got Donald Schultz off your waiver wire, I think you should feel very secure that you have a top 12 tied in for the rest of the season. Jason Moore's Ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week. My bad dancing last week turned me into a sucker. So I'm going to a fancy dinner this week with the Ravens Justin Tucker.

69:27 ↗

Oh, you did the Charleston. That's right. And it didn't work out because Carlston. So you're digging deep this week. I'm rolled my ankle. Digging deep with the Justin Tucker. Going all the way down. Justin Tucker. What's his name? Justin Tucker. Okay, I'm going to check my waiver wire real quick. Keep looking. Let me know. He is, to be fair. Scroll down. To be fair. He is literally available on every single waiver wire you play.

69:52 ↗

Because we don't have kickers on roster. So get that garbage out of our leagues. Oh, get potty. We want to thank Pristine auction for supporting the show.
