To the fantasy footballers podcast. Coming to you from the Playdraft Studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore.

And Mike Wright. Ah, welcome back to the show. Oh, it's going to be a fun one. It was a great night. It's going to be a kooky, a kooky adventure. I hope everyone had a good night like me. What a time to be alive. Oh, the trolling has already begun this morning.

and Jason has thrown his microphone away from his face. He has left the conversation. I quit the show. We have great fantasy football stories today. The beauty of fantasy football is how intriguing last night's game became. Four Minian owner named Jason and Mike. We talked about this on the show. Jason and Mike we're facing off. Jason.

had his entire League of Record future in the hands of the Tennessee Titans defense. Never a position you want to be in. The position you don't want to be in is the fate of your fantasy future in weak little baby hands Jack Doyle. I don't know what the deal is with that guy. I can't hold on to a football. I saw him dropping my season. Do you see Brooks's face over there? Brooks is like, that's kind of, that's intense. With the fumble, almost two fumbles? Come on, man.

Did the second one count? No. Oh. So he fumbled once in his baby hands. Um, and drops. No, he had a bunch of drops. He played poorly. The moral of the story. It's like the Burger King. I've got these small hands. Yeah. I mean, the football just looks gigantic in his, in his weak baby hands. The end of this story is Jason lost. Yeah. I don't know why I'm so upset. Not yet. What are you talking about? You won. Not only did I lose by two points. Um,

in a game where so many things went wrong. But then after that game, after it, you point out to me and you give me a message and upload the image that shows me that the game I didn't even remotely check on since yesterday. The dynasty. Middle of the day in our dynasty league where apparently I was going head to head with Brooks. And I just, I walloped them, wallop them. I had already won. You point, you, you put the picture up there that says, I lost.

How did I lose? Because all I needed was five points from C.J. Anderson and T.Y. Hilton combined. Let's check in with Brooks to see the status of that game. Was the judge? Judge. Judge. What do you, uh, what's your verdict? He's trying to get the. I went. Barring stack corrections. It was a stupid night. Well, so let's talk over the game. T. Y. Hilton, massive letdown. Yes. I thought he was going to have a great game.

Cooped in his big boy pants. He certainly did. Jacoby Brissette came out, was looking, looking solid. Dante Moncrief had a pretty strong game. Yes, he dropped the touchdown. It would have been a great catch if he pulled it in, but it would have just been a regular catch. No, I'm going to say it was, it was upper echelon catch. Yes. I mean, this was a, you turn over the shoulder. The ball is there. To your fingertips. You're extended. Yeah. So it would have been. Larry Fitzgerald would have made it. Here we go again, comparing these guys to Hall of Fame level. Larry Fitzgerald is saying.

But Moncrief hasn't looked that good in forever. Brissette had poised. He was being accurate. And then the Titans start blitzing and everything fell apart for Jacoby Brissette. Meanwhile, T.Y. Hilton does essentially nothing.

Baby Hands Jack Doyle is dropping passes all over the place. Ryan suck up. Ryan suck up. Five for five field goals and three extra points. Unbelievable. 18 points in our League of Record scoring. Unbelievable. Which won the game for somebody who was down by 15 and had no chance of winning, but Ryan suckup comes out. And it's just that perfect game script for a kicker. You saw some, you know, Derek Henry, the huge 72-yard.

Throwaway run at the end of the game probably affected a lot of matchups if he was in there. And DeMarco Murray finally had himself a game. He was on a blast. I mean, I put him on blast yesterday morning. I said, if you do not have a normal game here, I would be out on DeMarco Murray rest of the season. And you know what? I would trade him immediately. I would not. I would certainly not. DeMarco Murray, he doesn't look like DeMarco Murray from last year. He is in a full-time share with Derek Henry.

He has Arizona, San Francisco, Los Angeles, the Rams that is, in the season. Tough matchup after next week. Next week he has Cleveland. I'm taking this big game. He was 12 for 40. And he's still the past catching running back. Yes. But I'm trying to move him if I can. Well, if you got him, I'm all entertains him offers.

I think he's a little bit hobbled still from his hamstring. He doesn't look quite the same, so maybe that's what you're seeing. But when I compare him to Henry, he is the clear better player. I think they were taking it a little bit easy on him and on Mariotta. They needed both those players to get the win, but they were also limiting what they were going to allow them to do. I think rest of season, DeMarco Murray, gets it going. I really believe that. All right. Today's show is The Waiver Show.

So we're going to break down your waiver pickups for week seven now. We're in week seven, guys. How did that happen? Time flies when you're having fun, beating Jason. It is fun. You know, I will say this. I mean, I wanted to come in and be, oh, I'm so sad. I lost. And it does. It sucks. Two really tough beats. But I'm still having a blast. I mean, I enjoyed that game last night more than any game I've watched this whole year. Every play was exhilarating in fantasy football.

is fantastic. I'm going to go ahead and keep playing. Is that your official position? I am down on. I am, I am absolutely with hand-in-hand with fantasy football. Every drop back from Jacoby Brissette, I was having a mini panic attack. Exactly. That's what makes it fun. All right. On Twitter, you can find us at the FF Follers on YouTube. We're over there. You can see Jason's misery and joy intertwined on YouTube. The fantasy footballers. A very bipolar man. Yeah, the fantasy footballers.com is the website.

And the community, as Mike mentioned, to open the show is join thefoot.com. So we'd love to have you come over there, hang out with all of the official foot clan at join the foot.com. We've talked about Monday night, so I'm going to jump into the news. News and notes from around the league. A very impatient Mike McCarthy during his interview, press conference, sorry.

Revealed that Aaron Rogers needs surgery on the broken collarbone. It's his right collarbone. This is different than last time where it was his left, not, you know, it was his non-throwing shoulder. It's most assuredly means Rogers is going to miss the remainder of the season. There were rumors. I made one on the show about Tony Romo. There was a lot of talk about Colin Kaepernick.

Those have been put to bed in the most terse of terms by Mike McCarthy who said, look, I have three years invested in Brett Hunley. I have two years invested in their other backup. Except he said it far more aggressive. Yeah. He said it was the official cabosh. I mean, you have to, like he said, there's time. Hundley knows the system. He's the best guy for this job right now. I mean, you would have to change everything if you tried to lure Tony Romo out of retirement. I promise you the Packers are better with Tony Romo.

I mean, Tony Romo coming in and not even getting an offense out there, they would be a better team. I have to agree. And that's why a team like, I disagree. That's why a team like Miami, Matt Moore has been in that system. They just bring in Jay Cutler. You're trying to. Jay Cutler's been in that system. Here's the reality. Okay, tell me this. Maybe Brett Henley's better for the system. Who has a better chance of winning them a Super Bowl? Tony Romer or Brett Huntley. Neither.

Okay, but if you had to handicap it. If you had to say who could win, you have to pick one or the other. Because that is kind of the goal of football. I would still say Hundley. You liar. Tony Romo is not, he's been out of football. Let's throw that. He is not trained for football right now. Let's throw that on Twitter, Brooks.

Let's throw that poll up on Twitter, see what the people think. Dirk Cutter confirmed James Winston has a sprained AC joint. I was reading this morning that Winston's not expected to throw until late into the week to give that his shoulder time to heal. Did anyone else get the impression from hard knocks and other interviews that I don't feel like Dirk Cutter likes James Winston? No, I do not have that impression. No? No, I think he recognizes, you know, that Winston is the best option there. He's a very...

I think he has so much ceiling left. James Winston does. Yes, he does. But it's, it's mental for James right now. Uh, yeah. And, well, there's physical. He's hurt. I'm saying, like, his, his ceiling is being capped by making bad mistakes and not in, and not processing the information quickly enough.

And accurately enough. Agree. And just he can lean on the physicality. Yes. Right now. Trevor Simeon is going to play in week seven minor injury. Case Keenom is going to remain the starting quarterback from Minnesota for week seven. Bridgewater, they're saying they're going to bring him off the puck. Teddy B. But just for fantasy owners, those that two quarterback leagues, those looking for, you know. You got to pick him up. You do think that. Yes. If you're in a two quarterback league, you need to pick him up immediately. Tony Romo has played more recently than Teddy Bridgewater.

That's fine. But Tony Romo has a job. I know, but you just made the argument about being ready to play and all of those things. Bridgewater's never really been a fantasy relevant player. I'm just asking the system. I'm asking the question. In Teddy Bridgewater, I think that before the year's done, Teddy Bridgewater is the starting quarterback for the Vikings. I agree with that. So, I mean, not every two quarterback league you would need to pick him up right now. It's going to still be, you know, a month before he's able to play. Would you drop Sam Bradford for Teddy Bridgewater based on that estimate?

of the situation. I probably would not because of you, I mean, you got to play the game of probability. While I still believe it's Bridgewater, there's, there is the, the world where San Bradford heals up and comes back. I mean, you can't ignore that. But if you're into two quarterback, I mean, you've got to pick up Bethard. I would probably pick up Matt Moore. I'm just saying like, if you're in a two quarterback league, every viable quarterback is going to be rostered. I would say if it's one of those deep,

bench leagues. You know, certainly a two-quarterback dynasty. Some of those type of guys will still be out there. In the dynasty, he's already owned. Probably. Golden Tate's expected to miss a few weeks with the shoulder injury. I think that was a surprise. I think we didn't think it would be that long. You have to look where? Marvin Jones. I mean, they're on by this week. They're on the buy week right now. They come back with a hard matchup, but Marvin Jones would be the guy. He's kind of a sneaky, maybe free waiver pickup.
