Inside the episode
132 passagesThe conclusion of week one, we're going into week two. We've got a streaming quarterback each and every week for you. If you need to make a spot start, make a decision, maybe you're feeling grossed out by the performance you got from, I don't know, Bo Nix or something. And you want to start somebody else this week. I like Jason's streamer the most this week. Yeah, in week two, it's really not usually a streamer off of the waivers. I think this year a lot of people drafted multiple quarterbacks. And this is like who. Yeah, they'll hit the waiver wire.
this week. There'll be some quarterbacks hitting this week. Yeah, but like Bo Nix. Yeah. It's possible. Yeah, and I would pick him up for the long term, although his schedule is tough. But I think Brock Purdy is a guy who's probably on a lot of benches, wasn't necessarily drafted to be everyone's starter. Great matchup against Miami. They're 13.5 point home favorites. And the truth is he's just freaking good. He is a super good quarterback. Perfect system. And he is the perfect quarterback for the system. Yes. And now he has, uh,
Mike Evans, a touchdown machine around the end zone. So passing touchdowns are easier to come by for Brock Purdy. And more and more, we should see more and more George. Yeah, for sure. Honestly, what's crazy is George really impressed me. I know it's like he got was like two for 12 in the game. Yeah. He's a target for me. But he impressed a trade target. The heck out of me. He got picked up as a second tight in by a lot of people. The way that he played.
The way that he ran, I was like, okay, you know, they got him off to a slow start as to be expected. They went to him real fast, which was delightful to see. But I do think by the time this season finishes, he could be very good. I'm going to throw Patrick Mahomes out there. He was only started in 31% of leagues. What knee injury. Yeah, I was impressed. I think that it'll be better through the air this upcoming week on Sunday night football against Indianapolis. We're getting.
Mike's getting primetime Ken Bowen Walker again. I mean, we got Monday night, Sunday night back to back. But this is six and a half point home favorites. High implied point total. Colts were dead last and yards per play allowed last week. I think Mahomes is going to have a couple big plays. Maybe it's a Thornton touchdown. Maybe it's a screen pass. So you think he'll have a completed pass over 10 yards this week? I do believe that'll happen. So I'm going to throw Mahomes out there as a stream. And don't worry if you're in deep leagues.
I got you covered. It's disgusting. And this is a projection. I don't think Kyler Murray is going to play. I love this pick. It's Carson Wentz. It's the Chicago Bears. It is the defense that made a quarterback who can barely get to 200 yards on a regular basis look like an absolute superstar and Bryce Young. It's the third highest over under of the week right now. Bears were 28th and yards per play allowed in week one. And Carson Wentz is just...
It's production. We love Kevin O'Connell quarterbacks who are at least competent, and Carson Wentz definitely is. Justin Jefferson got rescued. I also think that you could attach Kyler here. Kyler will probably be dropped in most leagues. He was drafted essentially as a backup quarterback. Sure. I don't think people are going to want to hang on to him through the concussion. But should he...
progress because he was at meetings which is a sign that he i mean it'll be this week or next yeah exactly probably next but if he's back this week against the bears i would play it's a good point i mean if he if he's a sudden start it's a great matchup um no more fade away uh jumpers yeah that was uh yeah that was the end was the end Wednesday we've got you are incorrect andy that is just the beginning
is it yeah oh wait i i got something in here right oh no you got something special no it's not real special i gotta i gotta get this thing in a better spot yeah i think we uh i think he got enough attention on the show today i think we're doing good what if i do this one kenneth walker oh just just a musical interlude much better that's actually cool uh take checks tnf preview mailbag tomorrow
