Fantasy Football Podcast for Week 2/3

A little better. Eli is learning a new offense. Like a newborn babe, learning to count. Right. A newborn. He looks so sad. He is slightly like a newborn baby, except a new baby is more mobile than Eli Manning. He's a fun stab of a day. He's not comfortable right now. Yeah, he...

But, I don't know, he looked a little bit better. They moved the ball. Victor Cruz was dropping McDropperson last week. They're not in sync, but. They gave the game to the Cardinals. Now, mistakes, turnovers. Of course, we all, when the season started, we all had the Houston Texans 2 and O in the Indianapolis Colts 0. Oh, my gosh. Houston's a mirage. Do you agree or disagree? I...

thought they were going to be better. Well, they played Washington and Oakland, right? But they are a mirage as in they still won't win the division. Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen. So let's go down the fantasy run down here. Tell me who you start from Houston. Ariane. Andre? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And in Hopkins, I'm playing him too. Okay. Fitzmagics seems to find him. Find a way to score with him. He's had a good start to the season. On the other side of the ball? I don't.

I don't know. Rashad Jennings, his only name, Larry Donald, if he's your tied in. I think those two guys are okay. I'm waiting on this offense, though. I'm going to put him in my waiting booth and just hope he figures out how to run this offense. Ruben Randall, not finally, I guess it was weak, too, but what I was expecting when I really liked Randall was touchdowns, and he made Patrick Peterson look a fool. It's a good catch. And scored, and that's...

the role that I was expecting from Randall. But, yeah, I agree. I'm starting Jennings reluctantly. Fantasy-wise, he's performed. Even last week. He performed a 15-point week in our league. Although Williams got a lot more work. He did. Not a lot, but he got more work. So that's kind of what I expected throughout the season is Williams' role to increase.

But I agree. So who do you got? You got the Giants? I do. I am taking Houston. Okay. So the Giants fire all their entire staff after the game. Colts. Colts Jags? Is this game anything more than what it looks like right now? No, it's not. It's a destruction of the Jaguars, the O and two Colts. Yeah. Start all your Colts. There is nothing to think about. The Jags suck. You know how I've been disappointed in is Ty Hilton this year? Have you? He's just not.

He is doing exactly what I expected. He's so talented, but that offense is a little bit, he spreads it around. I was a little shocked yesterday because he inside in a dome is, that's usually where he does his damage. So I expected maybe a little bit more yesterday, but. Ahmaud Bradshaw is the guy to start on the Colts back field. You know what? He comes in on third downs. He comes in for pass protection, catches the ball.

I had a couple more opportunities to get into the end zone there, too. Right now, I think in this game, you can probably start both guys if you have to. Trent Richardson and Ahmad Bradshaw. Are you worried at all about the Fumble McMumbles? No, because he came back in, and he actually had his best game as a Cole probably in terms of yours precarion performance. So sell high, not that anybody wants him. But that name might still have a little value. Vikings at Saints.

You just ignored the Jaguars completely, which is what the rest of the league's been doing. Fair, no, no, no, there's no one to start there. I'm not. The only guy who I would even think about is Toby, and I'm not doing it. There you go. He's still hurt. Vikings at the Saints. This one actually could be another fantasy fun house with. I think for one side, at least, but probably both. Saints' defense has not been very good. And Peterson is scheduled to play. We're not going to get into that. We're not? No.

We're a fantasy football podcast. We're not a social. This is not AM radio. We, he's, if he's going to play and he's on your fantasy team, you play him unless you're taking some guy. Yeah, no, I think AP you start, you start Corderole Patterson, and you start Kyle Rudolph. And on the other side of the ball, this game's in the Orleans. The Saints are 0 and 2, and they're going to put a.

Shalacking? I think of shalacking. Well, at least offensively. Yeah, offensively they're going to win. I think they're going to win. Jimmy Graham. I think you can start. Obviously, you start Breeze. You start Graham. You start Kyrie Robinson. You start Pierre Thomas. Cooks. I think you can start Brandon Cooks. Colston had a goose egg last week. That's what you get with that often sometimes, though. So I think you can actually start Colston.

So all the way across the board, I'm fine. Cooks or Colston? Cooks. Cooks? I agree. And who do you get winning? That's a good question. I've got the Saints win. I tend to agree. I will not be playing the Minnesota defense in any leagues. No, don't do that. No, and don't play the Saints defense either, because unless you really want to watch Rob Ryan just stomp his feet and flop his hair around. If Peterson doesn't play.

Maybe. That does change things, so keep an eye on that. Raiders at Patriots and just a great matchup. This is, oh, man. Again, West Coast team going east for them. Go ahead and start Stephen Ridley. Oh, yes. Start Stephen Ridley. Another guy who... Because there might be a second half that they have to kill. I believed in him in the draft. You didn't? I still believe in him.

Until he fumbles. Well, maybe. But, I mean, there's always that potential, and they're very game plan specific. But the game plan, especially this week, is going to, you're going to see Stephen Ridley. Gronk's health, I mean, his snaps, I think I heard he had 27 snaps. You still start him. They didn't need him last week. No, they didn't need him at all. So he's working his way back. He's gronk. He's still playing.

You can almost write him in for a touchdown. Start Brady, start Edelman? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm starting every... Even though I like Ridley, I'm still starting Vareen. I'm starting my Patriots. Not Dobson. I don't think I'm playing Dobson yet. And for the Raiders, maybe if MJD is out, like we think... Spotstar for me God. Maybe you can throw DMC in if you're hurting. He's...

He's a potential for a touchdown. And I have the Patriots winning. Surprise, surprise. Yeah, I've got the Raiders in a runaway. No. Yeah, this game's going to be over by the end of the first quarter. Redskins at Eagles. I wonder what the line is for that game. That's got to be like a Patriots minus 13 or something. Yeah, it's going to be really high to cover the spread. Redskins at the Eagles. I don't know what the Redskins are. I don't know whether D. Jacks is going to play.

I don't think it's literally a brand new team now with cousins. Yeah. At the helm, we don't know. A divisional game. I think that. Eagles emotionally high on short week. Right. Yeah. Which usually smells. And their defense isn't very good anyway. Smells like trap. Yeah. I think the Redskins, you find starting Paragon, Niles Paul if you need him. Mm-hmm.

Cousins, if he's your spot start here. Oh, Alf. Alph is going to be great. And Alford Morris has been stellar. He's definitely the way, of course. We saw Trent two yards of carry. Richardson. They're going to run all over the Eagles. Alford Morris is going to feast. And for Philly. You've got to start the number one running back in fantasy. Oh, you're talking about LaShaul McCoy? No. Oh, Darren Sproles. So start Darren. Are you starting Sproles? He's a flex RB2 for me this week.

Yeah, I would, I agree. I don't, you know. Don't go trade Jamal Charles. Like, if you see Darren Sproles out there right now, don't go send Jamal Charles for Darren Sproes. Okay. Because that's happening in leagues around the country, I can tell you. Everything's happening. Crazy things happen. I actually had a guy yesterday tell me, he was asking me advice. He's a first-time player. And he said, hey, I just traded Tom Brady for Jamal Charles. Is that good? Some. Yeah.

He goes, Jamal Charles has got an... He's like, Jamal Charles has an ankle injury, so I grabbed him for my backup quarterback Tom Brady because he's got Andrew Luck. And I said, he's like, is that good? I got that text yesterday. I said, yes, that's very good, buddy. You did very well for yourself. He's like, I was walking around and I found $1,000 on the ground. Is that good? Yeah, that's good, buddy. Congratulations to Andy's friend. Yeah, for taking the number one running back for a...

For a quarterback, that's just crazy. I'm not sitting anybody here. There's nothing in particular. What are your thoughts on real quickly? What's the situation with Cooper and Macklin? Can you trust the wide receiver core out of Philadelphia? I am trusting Macklin. He was one of those guys where I passed on him in all my drafts knowing that I would.

likely regret that, but that was, I was one of those guys like, I'm okay if I get this one wrong, knowing that I would probably be wrong. And he's looked good, although Foles looked a little shaky on his deep throws was not very accurate last night, and that line is not very good. Right now with all the injuries and the Lane Johnson juicing or whatever he did for his four games. The right side of that line looks terrible. But they'll get stronger.

And I do. I like Macklin. Okay. And so Cooper hasn't shown me anything yet. No, not yet. 49ers at Cardinals. Well, this is another game that looks like if you are a Cardinals offensive player owner, you've probably got a little bit of fear right now because of the Carson Palmer situation. Let's update people on that being homers out here in Phoenix. So the...

It's a nerve issue. It was going around today that Parson. Parson Colmer. Parson Calmer, that's my new band name. That's his backup. When you get Jordan Palmer. Because of the nerve, he still can't grip a ball properly. That's not good. Do you need to grip a ball to throw a ball? Usually. That's not good, bro. Usually you have to be able to grip. So I'm not feeling comfortable.

I hope he's back after the buy, but I don't think he's going to, I think Stanton's going to come. And Stanton, he was okay. He knows the Aryan system. He's been in it for, what, three years now? Three or four years. Yeah, he's not what sucks for Cardinals, skill players, owners. Like, well, not Ellen. Like Michael. He's been dumped Ellington, but Floyd, Stanton won't throw up. Well, you know, the funny thing is even Ellington, he only caught one pass last week.

That offense changed. I did not realize that. Michael Floyd, not involved after the beginning of the game. I think Larry Fitzgerald takes a bump up as a PPR receiver under Stanton because he's the safety valve. Stanton will not unload it. He has a, he's too scared to do it. What about sits on the 49ers side?

This game's in Phoenix? Davis. Vernon Davis, who the owners were just salivating. Getting ready for week three. Because the Cardinals are very bad against tight ends. Yeah, and Davis historically has just torched them. And Davis says he might play, but we'll see. Crabtree has owned Patrick Peterson in the past. Kaepernick likes to throw to the other team, though, is a problem. Cardinals defense is...

forced turnovers this year. Yeah. They're at home. 49ers coming off that bad game. I think this game's a low-scoring game. I think you're right. The Cardinals and the 49ers play generally tough games against each other. But I'm still, and you know what, I'm really starting Bolden. Bolden is Bolden. You are starting Bolden? Yeah, absolutely. Bolden is a guy who I love Anquan Bolden.

But this guy can carry some anger. It feels like I think he's still. And he's got some for the Cardinals. He's still mad at the Cardinals. And so when he comes here, he wants to dole out some hurt. Yeah. Yeah. Is Colin Kaepernick a starting quarterback? No. In fantasy? No. Not to me. I'd rather have, I'd rather play Andy Dalton. And is, uh, it's all Frank Gore. You start Frank Gore? Yeah.

Yeah, you still stay. The Cardinals are in defense so far? Yeah. I think you do probably. I guess you sit him if you have a better option, like Jeremy Hill. Arizona's number five against the run right now. Even with all the defensive losses, they didn't lose much for run defense. And we're still waiting and seeing on Mr. Hyde because he hid last week from Fantasy Relevance. He went full Jekyll. Seriously.
