Week 1 Matchups, In-or-Out, Upset of the Week

but I'm not certain that I think he may make a big impact on this team, and I think that they might be a lot better. Look, I have Derek Carr as one of the guys that I brought up in my bowl predictions as a QB won this year. I'm not as excited about this week. No. No, I'm not. Look, the Rams, they are a remade secondary. They have an amazing defensive front. It's going to be tough sliding for their entire offense. They have unlimited cap money. Unlimited. I don't know how they unlocked that. That's like an achievement. They tried to get to Lil Mac.

to add to Aaron Donald and Indomacan Su. Let's get the three best pass rushers. Oh, it's ridiculous, man. So expectations are tempered for Oakland, no doubt about it. Yeah. Especially, look, look at what happened last night. It's week one. There's going to be some ugly football. This is a game that could be kind of ugly, I think. I would take the under on the 49 and a half. I really would. I think that it might take Brandon Cook's, new face, new rapport with Jared Gough.

I would take the Rams to win this game, and I would take the under. And I think that it's going to be tough sledding for all the – I think you have to pull the points back, basically, for every Raider, including Omari Cooper, another player that fits in that Allen Robinson category, Mike, where the reaction from week one Amari Cooper is going to be through the roof. You are correct. And you can probably take advantage of it in the trademark. Absolutely. If Amari Cooper has a bad week, I will be trading for Cooper left-right.

statement in the Gruden list of, it seems like they are now committing to Seth Roberts as the slot wide receiver. I mean, that's unfortunate news for Amari Cooper. When he thrived, Cooper, it's because you're moving them around and you let him do some work from the slot as well. So if they're going, when they're going three wide and they do lock Roberts in and they keep Cooper on the outside, that's very disappointing. All right.

I want to announce something. Got a little bit of a surprise announcement. We've got the giveaway winners for the DeAndre Hopkins signed jersey, couple copies of Madden, and the ultimate draft kit for life. Oh, mercy. Dustin won the Hopkins jersey. Dustin? Dustin? I don't have the last name. Well, we don't want to give them out. TJ won a copy of Madden. Mark H. won a copy of Madden.

But who got the UDK for life? The winner of the ultimate draft kit for life is Cole Sixberry. Cool. Good old Cole Sixberry. Cole Sixberry. So there will be a lineage of six berries throughout the generations. Seven berries, eight berries. It doesn't even matter how many. Strawberries. They'll all have the UDK. So congratulations to everybody who entered. We'll put some new giveaways up. We'll give away some new autograph merch. It'll be fun. We do that all the time. I love giving stuff away.

It's fun. If I could give fantasy points a way I would. We try on this show. Essentially, that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to give you fantasy points. So without further ado, it is Friday. Let's get into the Daily Dose. The Daily Dose. Brought to you by Draft. So speaking of giving away, every Friday, the three of us jump in a triangle match of death where we are going head to head to head on using the draft app.

And I would love to give a cup of water to each of your faces. Oh, well, you have to win, Mike. That's the part you never remember that part. Did you forget who you're playing against? No, I did not. The humblest of winners over here, myself and Jason. So we're firing up this draft. We are rolling with the expert settings because there's only three of us. And what that does is it takes the top 10 quarterbacks out, top 20 running backs. Oh, there's no tie rod in there?

No, I'll bet he is. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I'm just playing pretty sure he's available. It looks like I have the first pick. But the expert settings is, it's certainly throwing a monkey wrench in my plans. So we'll blitz through this. Certainly. But so with the number one pick, I don't know how he's still there, but Joseph Nixon. Yeah, he's a good one expert. I love it. He is.

clearly a great pick. I mean, he's the guy that I was hoping would get to me, obviously. Unfortunately, he did not. I am going to go wide receiver at the number two spot and take Adam feeling. Yeah, that's a good pick. Oh, that's all right. That's all right. I'm, I'm excited. So there's two running backs, two wide receivers. There's still plenty of Browns available, Andy. That is true. Duke's there. All right. I, I'm trying.

You're trying, you're stumbling and bumbling? All right, here we go. I've got two picks. Yeah, my app hadn't updated for a split second there. Oh, that's a good one. T.Y. Hilton? Oh, all right. I like that match up. And then I'm going to slip over to the running back side. I'm going to take Lamar Miller. I'm going to go volume play. I like that. I was hoping he would come back to me. Yeah, I definitely don't mind that. I almost went with Dion Lewis last time I was around here. I like the matchup in Miami.

I like that he's a pass catcher going to score. So he is now on my roster. Nice. Oof. All right. The news flip-flopped yet again on this particular player running back for the New England Patriots. There was a beat reporter that was talking up Rex Burkhead says the team feels like he is going to be a star this year in that he could have played.

If it wasn't the preseason, then he absolutely could have played. So now my running backs are full. I'm flipping it over to the wide receiver position. And he's my start of the week. Yeah, I knew you were. I'm grabbing Golden Tate. That makes a lot of sense because he was your start of the week. I'm going to take his counterpoint and I'm going to take Marvin Jones and one of us will be very happy and one of us will be disappointed when that touchdown goes. I'm sorry, Jason. Maybe it'll go to Kenny Gulliday. They will both be pissed.

I took Kirk Cousins with my next pick. Oh, come on. Wanted to grab the best quarterback on the board right now. But I needed the stack. I needed the feeling. Well, then you should have taken it, Jason. I didn't think anyone was going quarterback. You know what? I'm going to give Alan Robinson a shot in this game. I think you should. I'm going to take a shot with Alan Robinson to round out my roster. Why you guys make a pick? Oh, I still got one more. Don't mind it. I am on the clock. Now I can get a quarterback or a running back is what I need. And.

Mercy. There are not a lot of guys that I love on the list here. So since I'm running out of time, I'm going to take a quarterback. And I'm going to take Russell Wilson. He is still available. I realize the matchup's not great. But when you're Russell Wilson, when you're Russell Wilson, you've got the chance at that. All the scramble yardage and, you know, deep bomb touchdown. Oh, so I'm looking. So I got to get a wide receiver or tight end and a quarterback.

I'm just, I'm going to go for it. I'm going to go for the huge upside of Amari Cooper and just try and, if he can score. I just need one play from you, Amari Cooper. That means I got- Jason's team is Russell Wilson, Dionne Lewis, Adam Thiel, and Marvin Jones right now. I'm so upset. Mike is making his last pick very slowly. Joe Mix and Rex Burkhead, Golden Tate, and Amari Cooper. Mike, you're going to make the wrong pick. Just pick somebody. The fact that he took Russell Wilson right there is upsetting to me. I'm going Homer.

Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford. All right, Jason, you got your final pick. I do. I'm going to take Belal Powell, the guy that I said I was confident in a half point format. And I'm taking James White. I think I'm going to lean into my burkehead, pump the brakes in week one. James White will be on the field a ton. My team is cousins, Miller, White, Hilton, and Robinson. There you go. I've got Russell Wilson, Dionne Lewis, Belal Powell, Adam Thielen, and Marvin Jones. And I have Sam Bradford.

Mixing Burkin. I'm loving that. And then Tate Amari Cooper. All right, that is it for today's episode. Tune in on Sunday morning to the live stream. Go to YouTube.
