Inside the episode
114 passagesThis player's name has never been uttered. This player received 12 targets in the Super Bowl. This player, by all indications, is heavily involved in the offense. But Cooper Cup plays football for the Seattle Seahawks. Cooper Cup is a starting wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. Can I say it again? 12 targets in the Super Bowl. We'll see Rashid Jihad has a whole offseason with this team to further establish himself. That's a difference of, I'm fine, you know, keeping the eye on Cooper Cup of how involved he will be.
I think Shaheed will be more schemed up, more targeted at this point of his career. So I don't hate to. I would have some captain lineups in, like our old school isolated DFS lineups. I'd Cooper Cups some captain lineups and just get surprised with a touchdown or two. But yeah, I mean, getting to see the breakdown all the way across the board for Seattle's offense. Like we know who JSN is. But how did those other guys get involved? George.
Halani. How does Holani and Price that breakdown happen? If you're making a decision, you've got a deeper team. You're having to choose Remandre or Judarian Price in week one. Do you take the rookie at home with more competition? May not have going, we don't know. Or do you take the high volume? You know, Remandre is going to catch a ton of passes. Which direction do you go there? I lean the price side. I mean, these are two tough teams to run on. But last year, I mean, the Seahawks.
They give up 14 points per game to the running back position. They're at home. They're favored. At least you are more confident that Ramandre will get the passing work. And we don't know yet with Price. I would say it's near a coin flip. But if you drafted Price, you're probably you drafted him ahead of Ramandre. They're at home and they're favored. So I would lean that side.
Would you play Price or would you ride the Marshawn Lloyd situation for a few weeks in Green Bay? Because I could see a lot of teams having both those guys. Lloyd going later, I'm just curious. I know we're just acclimating. Start sit decisions, but they're hitting hard. I have, I have Price just a couple spots ahead of Lloyd. The Ramandre play, so we last year, Seattle allowing the highest running back target share. Like that's where it is. If you can get four.
or more receptions from from remandre it's going to end up being a decent start just so people know since the season starting all of our week run rankings are up on the site the fantasy footballers.com all of our individuals and then the consensus rankings for week one with player projected points right now where do we have those guys right now we have remandre as a consensus we have remandre two spots ahead of geranium price just for the
the context on there for player projections for the week. Hunter Henry dominates in week one, right? Isn't that what we're supposed to expect? He often does. We're ever going to talk about him. First couple weeks of the season, and that is, you know, if you look across the board at how the Seahawks play defense last year, they shut down the running backs, shut down the wide receivers. They were average against tight-in, so maybe that's a place that they'll have to go with their corners locking down A.J. Brown and Romeo Dubs. Yeah, there are some of the top tier quarterbacks.
have like pretty tough week one matches. Josh Allen going on the road against Houston week one. Drake May going on the road against Seattle in week one. I would not, again, this is your reminder that we'll repeat and ignore probably. Don't overreact to week one. It's a long season. Sometimes you see disasters. It's very possible Drake May and this offense doesn't look what they're like they're going to look like adding these new pass catchers. So there you go. You guys have any other thoughts on the on the breakdown?
No, I mean, go George. Go George. So now you're fully rooting for George Halani. Fantastic. But Jay, we were like... I know we've been more anti-priced. Yeah. And so that we need... It makes sense. It's just funny. Like if you're anti-price to just say that you love the other guy no matter what? Yeah. Okay. As somebody that has hated other players, I agree. That is how it works.
You think I like Ramandre for real? I don't want to like a remandre. All right. Why don't we do a little mailbag? Give the people a little extra today. And, man, football tomorrow. Mailbag. Presented by Paramount Plus. Guys. Yes, guys. Yes. Do you realize we're in it? Listen to this. Listen to this question. Oh, no. It's the most perfect. We're in it. Oh, no. Chris in Michigan. Chris.
Oh, no, Chris. Chris, I'm praying for you. I believe Malik Willis outscores Josh Allen in week one. Should I make the switch? No. No, I wouldn't do that. No, not Josh Allen. You think Josh Allen can't figure it out? Well, let me say this. Last year in week 12, we saw Josh Allen on the road in Houston. He scored eight fantasy points. So he's going to need to figure it out more than he did last year in this opportunity. So I...
No, I mean, I would still start Josh Allen. We've seen him in plenty of tough matchups where he overcomes. I can't fathom that, you know, he's incapable of outscoring Malik Willis. I mean, any week players can, you know, Malik Willis could outscore Josh Allen, but probabilities are rankings, how we would start players. If you're convicted. And you want to have a wild week one go do it. There are definitely situations where it's like guys drafted to start.
I wouldn't mind playing, like, Malik Wales. But not Josh Allen, but I'm saying, week one, we have Mahomes versus Bo Nix. Like, so you got Boe against the Chiefs defense and Mahomes off of his reconstructed knee against the Denver defense. Yep. I would, I'd be very open to play Malik Willis.
Over those guys. Yeah. Yeah. There was a clarity question coming in from Instagram. What is a onesie? I hear you say it all the time. I don't know what it means. Sure. A onesie is where in a standard fantasy football league, there is just one of those players in your starting lineup. So as in one quarterback, one tight end. So we'll say stuff like.
Hey, I'm going to take another running back here versus going to a onesie position. Because you're only required to play the one, and then running backs and wide receivers, you have to play multiples. There you go. Greg wants to know, California, should trade deals and DMs be talked about in the public chat? No. What do you mean? Should trade deals? Maybe the inner workings of DMs, is it faux pa to, like, talk about those in the public chat?
You know, is that maybe what the question is asking? Oh, yeah, like reveal. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. This is, if that's what it is, like if you're talking, if me and Mike are discussing a trade and then I go air the laundry, right? Like I go put his comments or something in the main chat to try to leverage, like leverage for another offer from somebody or like. If it's trying to leverage, I feel like that's pretty Bush League. If it's making fun of someone, I don't know. That's pretty fun. It.
I mean, it might jeopardize your future. It'll jeopardize your future deals. I'm going to say you'll have leverage once. Yeah. And then no one's going to do that. And it won't just be the other person that you exposed to. You made mad. Like the rest of the league is going to see that you're out there sharing people's private messages. Be careful. But sometimes it's funny.
PJ writes in, who's your go-to later around IR stash player on draft day? I was hoping last night it would be Jordan Tyson. Everyone wanted Jordan Tyson. That's the great one. That is the obvious one. The terrible, disgusting one that I also wanted was Isaiah Pacheco. I know. I sold you. It's disgusting. I'm talking last round. Like when you've got no one left and you just and you just want to basically get a free player. Would you, so you'd rather.
do that with Pacheco over like Charbonnet? No, no. But Charbonnet is not there at your last round. I'm saying like the very last round, the guy that is always available as opposed to. So for instance, for me, I drafted Terrence Ferguson with my last pick. My plan was to just draft Isaiah Pacheco with the last pick. And then this morning put him on IR and pick up Terrence Ferguson. Disgusting. Awful. Unnecessary. But it's just a free.
It's a free card. No, I would much rather have Charbonnet. Obviously, Jordan Tyson is the king, is the hero that we all want. For us, it was, I think I was hoping to get him at the 607, which would be like ninth round. He went a little earlier, so eighth or ninth round in leagues. I was hoping seventh in our league.
That was the mailbag presented by Paramount Plus. Paramount Plus is the streaming home to the NFL on CBS all season long. See you Sunday. See you. Wednesday. See you Thursday. See you. See you. Every day. Monday. Happy days. We got Super Bowl picks tomorrow on the show. Ooh. So I just got to figure out whether I should reveal my dolphins pick today or tomorrow. I don't know. You guys don't like the dolphins for the Super Bowl? You're going to get some great odds on that.
I will. I'll make a lot of money. Yeah. You just need to put $1 down. It probably won't be the Dolphins. You'll be a millionaire. We'll have to preview the Thursday night game tomorrow. You know what I mean? And then that'll be fun too because football is here. It's football time. All right. We'll catch you tomorrow. Goodbye.
