And Tyler Lockett continues to score every week. Four for 77. We'll monitor Doug Baldwin this week. And look, I don't want to get into it yet, but we'll be talking about Kenny Galladay and another big performance there. Tight ends, Mike. You talked about Dallas Goddard. 7 for 73 in a touchdown. I don't think we're going to have the same take on him, but what is your thoughts on Goddard? I'm not running out to add him, but when...

40:49 ↗

With the injuries that they suffered this past week at the wide receiver court to the point that they had to add Jordan Matthews and even play him this past week, we threw out. Perhaps Dallas Goddard is the primary beneficiary from this. He's a tremendous player. He was my favorite tight end, pass catching tight end coming out of last year's draft class. And his quarterback loves to throw to the tight end position. So I...

41:18 ↗

I think he actually has a chance. It's crazy, as it sounds, to be starting the tight end two for a team. There is a chance that he jumps into fantasy relevance.

41:28 ↗

I 100% agree with that until Alshan comes back. Now, when Alshan comes back, that's my take is it's going to be so short-lived and still a coin flip that I'm scared to do it. Yeah, I will not be scared while Al-Shan is gone. I mean, this is an offense that kind of reminds you. I know it's been a while, but when there was Gronk and Aaron Hernandez, and they ran those two tight-in, you know, weapons down the field, that's...

41:56 ↗

I think that's kind of what the Eagles are trying to do here with Goddard and Ertz, and they've got a quarterback that can get it done. I was completely with you, Mike, in the off season, draft season. Dallas Goddard was my clear cut far and away number one guy, and I was just so upset when the Eagles took him because. Didn't they take him in the second round? It was an earlyish pick. I mean, he's a pump the brakes for me. He'll be my pump the brakes. And I get it. Guy, they had Trey Burton last year. I mean, Trey Burton is this hyper talented athlete.

42:23 ↗

You know, it's just very difficult for two tight ends to have the same value. And I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable starting of myself. But if Alshan is back, I would, I will agree with you. I would pump the brakes. If Alshan is out, they're going to need another weapon. Yeah, all right. Rising Stars of the wig. All right, rising stars this year brought to you by Fantasychamps.com. You need a trophy, a ring, a jersey, something to swag out. When it comes to your fantasy league, check out Fantasychamps.com.

42:56 ↗

My rising star this week is none other than. Oh. Kenny Galaday, Kenny G. So smooth. You know what, smooth? A hundred yards or a touchdown in all three games this year. Seven receptions, six receptions, six receptions. Marvin Jones was four in each game. We've never let it play that long, but it was so smooth last night. And look, he is starting.

43:31 ↗

in two wide receiver sets. That's the big headline. Matthew Stafford trusts him. He's got sticky hands. He missed a second touchdown by the back of his foot. And that catch was insane. That catch was unbelievable. If he had come down with that, that would be one of the best.

43:49 ↗

receptions of the entire year when he turned into a sarcophagus and just fell over backwards. He just, he knew that. And he missed it by an inch. Yeah. I mean, it was, I don't think an inch by a Holmes, a Centennial Holmes. I don't think an inch even describing it was less than, it was so close. I couldn't believe it. When I watched it live, I was like, wait, I think he might have been in. And then they showed the replay and it was.

44:10 ↗

But Golden Tate's on the sideline in two wide receiver sets. Matthew Stafford trusts and goes to Kenny Gulladay, new coaching staff, new opportunity in a second season. This is a breakout for Kenny Gullady. And it does not mean that Marvin Jones is not startable. It just means that, look, this is a team that's going to be throwing the ball all year. And I think Gulladay is a wide receiver.

44:30 ↗

Two. Welcome aboard. This offense is. Well, he has to do it, Mike. See, you have to believe. He has to do it. And then you believe it. This offense is certainly looking like it's going to be what we hoped and be a powerful fantasy offense. I would be, I would go so far as to say that this offense will carry on. Oh, snap. There it is.

44:57 ↗

We're doubling up on the lions here. My Rising Star is Carry on Johnson. It was a very nice game to watch, although it's funny. Super excited, right? Detroit finally has the stat that is over about, they just haven't had a 100-yard rusher in, I believe it is one millennium now. Yes, give or take.

45:23 ↗

Carry on Johnson crosses the century mark on only 16 carries. He is averaging, get this, 5.55 yards per carry. First 100 yard rushers since 2013. Yeah, I mean it's for the Lions. They were clapping for the 101. He is great. The city is behind him. Everyone is excited. LaGarrett Blunt. The city is behind it. I'm not sure that they're.

45:50 ↗

What about Kiss? Is Kiss behind them? Are you considering yourself a city in this situation? Are you the city of Jason? The city of Jason is completely in support of Carrion Johnson. It's a suburb in Detroit. Garrett Blunt at the end of the game when they're trying to run the clock out fumbles the ball away. That is another feather in the cap. Send him to jail, Patricia. Here's the, send him to. Running back jail. Here's the truth about Carry on Johnson.

46:16 ↗

it's so infuriating watching LaGarrett Blunt get the ball and do so much less with it. And it's not a situation where you can go, well, the yards were carriers because he's getting it on third and one. No, they're getting the exact same type of carries. Carry on Johnson is just clearly superior. They both had 16 carries in this game. Carry on Johnson over double the yards. Everyone knows it's coming, but LaGarrett Blunt is not going away. Until he's injured, we will be a little bit frustrated. But my point,

46:46 ↗

in making Carry On Johnson the Rising Star is that he is now from here on out a startable player. He is not going to be a fantasy superstar until Legerick Blunt gets out of the way. I don't think that happens until the second half of the season or an injury. But as of right now, you can go ahead and start your carry-on Johnson's. My rise. That's got to feel good, Jason. You've got one silver lining in your in your week. How about them pets? Mm.

47:12 ↗

I've seen a lot of week three victory laps about the Patriots. I remember when they got beat by the Chiefs two years ago. And Tom Brady should be benched. Yeah, and it was a things worked out. We'll see. We'll see. They won the Super Bowl that year. My rising star is Mike Williams from the Los Angeles Chargers. I had strongly considered going with him this past week, but I needed to see a little bit more from the target volume and seven targets. We got back up from two of the previous week.

47:40 ↗

Seven targets turned into four receptions and two touchdowns. He's going to be, he's integrating himself into this offense, taking over as the wide receiver two, taking over Tyrell Williams' job, and Philip Rivers looks great. The Charter's offense looks fantastic. You could use Joy Bosa.

47:59 ↗

That would help their team. That would help the defense. I'm just saying, yes, as a team to win games, that would be nice for them. Yeah, but I don't care if they win games. I care about the offense putting up points. And Mike Williams is a, he's going to be the guy. He's emerging. All right. Those are the rising stars. Carry on Johnson, Kenny Gulliday. Mike Williams, big Mike Williams. We're going to get into the duds. I do want to.

48:26 ↗

I want you guys to weigh in. I just made a little trade ski. Oh my goodness. An actual trade? I did. I made a little trade right here, live on the air. I had a trade come through. Multitasker extraordinary. I'm pretty good. Dynasty trade. I'm the defending champion of the world. Isn't that right, Brooks? Of our league, yes. I know you're a little broken up over it, obviously. Yes. Traded, traded Jared McKinnon. Oh, second round draft. Okay.

48:55 ↗

And his second round draft pick. So McKinnon in the second for Carlos Hyde and Kenneth Dixon. Okay. And unfortunately, this gives you help this. This is a short-term move saying like, you look, McKinnon has to come back and do it next year. What do you think? What do you think of that trade? I like it. I am in dynasty especially, people freak out about Carlos Hyde because of Nick Chubb. I've said this before, but my belief is that this is a DeMarco Murray.

49:24 ↗

Derek Henry situation. I don't think Chubb is going to take over next year. I mean, I'd be a lot more scared if Nick Chubb was Kerryon Johnson. Yeah. Right. If he looked great. Right. Yeah. Chubb seems like almost a mirror of a hides type of situation. All right. Let's move on to a less enthusiastic topic. Poopped in his big boy pants. Nothing is visceral as when your player, you know. Die a way.

49:56 ↗

That's another way to put it. We really need PEPTO to sponsor this segment. That would be fantastic. You're out there. I know you're listening. Mr. Bismol? Yeah. Upset tummy? Jason will sing that song. Oh, sure. Peptobismo! There you go. Jason went through the full gamut of Pepto-related ailments during this weekend's games and could have used some, you know, pro bono pepto. Yeah, certainly.

50:25 ↗

I mean, I could have drank a gallon. Needed it. All right. Let's kick it off with a lot of people's number one quarterback of the week. Tom Brady projected for the most points on several different platforms. He was my number one quarterback and did not get it done. Matt Patricia apparently knew enough about what he was going to do and their defense in Detroit finally showed up. They just didn't look comfortable the whole game and didn't get a lot of help.

50:55 ↗

extra time in the pocket didn't look good well it's watching this this past week of the patriots it gave me more hope for josh gordon because sure you could see patricia's plan was i'm going to double team gronk on every single play and let's see if philip dorset and chris hogan can beat us the answer was no they cannot and that's i'm sure that's part of what

51:25 ↗

what pushed Bill Belichick to go make the move, even though it was an aggressive move going for Josh Gordon, who's like Jason points out, he's one step away from being out of the league. But his talent is so extreme. Let's see what he can do. Tom Brady, by the end of that game, when he threw the interception that was in a double coverage towards Dorset, you can see on his face. He's like, I don't care. I'm throwing this ball. Somebody do something. He was. Chris Hogan, furious. Three receptions. Yeah.

51:55 ↗

Seven on the season. Under 100 yards total on the season. A complete another bust. Yes. Dunzo. Dunzo. Kurt Cousins. Dak Prescott. Blake Bortles. Case Keenham. Bad weeks for those five quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins for three quarters of the day was negative points after his two fumbles and interception. Mike and I are going head to head. He had Drew Brees. I had Kirk Cousins.

52:23 ↗

Yeah. Still have a chance to win. It worked. It worked out in my favor of this on that league. Kenyon Drake, Philip Lindsay, Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson. Chris Thompson, you know, they just came out and put themselves in a position where they didn't have to throw the ball to Chris Thompson. I mean, James and Crowder kind of inherited that role in this game. It was strange. And Paul Richardson had the long touchdown. They were in, I guess, banger running back mode with Adrian Peterson as opposed to. It was grinding and out.

52:51 ↗

So I thought Thompson would be a little bit more matchup proof than we saw in this game. And this was a disappointing performance. You worry about starting him? I mean, he's got the buy next week, so I wouldn't start him in. Such a bad joke. No, but coming back off the buy, New Orleans is a perfect matchup. So, you know, he's one of those guys where after the buy week, and we'll talk about this then, but whenever you can trade for a player after thereby, you are gaining such an advantage in.

53:19 ↗

You're just gaining a free extra game off of the guy. If you're trading a guy who hasn't had his buy for someone that has had it, and I think Chris Thompson will be fine. Kenya Drake was so weird. I mean, the Dolphins game was just bizarre because they kept doing these crazy plays where, you know. Albert Wilson is a running back on three or four plays a game. Yeah, and when you takes a.
