Not so much. No, he hasn't been involved enough to say that you can start him over the last week. The thing, so the Tennessee pass catchers, Richard Matthews, Eric Decker, it's not going well so far this season. It's even worse when Matt Castle is under center. But the matchup. The matchup is juicy. Yeah. Colts 30th against the pass. If Mariotta plays, Matthews is in.

55:42 ↗

Yeah, and that's, that's the... Or is this regardless Matthews is in. No, that's the issue with Matthews is I really like Matthews if Mariotta is in. And I don't like him at all if Marietta is out. But it's Monday night football. Right. There's just, you know, not another good option. There's not a Jacoby Brissette you could pick up where if Mariotta doesn't play, you know, you could, Dante Moncrie, for example. Sure. I think Richard Matthews without.

56:12 ↗

mariotta is as good as Dante Moncrief without luck, which is not good. So I don't know that you can rely on it. You can take that gamble and just say you can watch the news leading up through this weekend and make an educated guess better than we can make today on a Friday as to whether or not Marcus Mario would play. And if he looks like he will, then you could take that gamble and say, I'm going to play Richard Matthews. And I guess in that situation, in that situation, though, at least if Marioita is out,

56:42 ↗

You still can play Matthews and get some points there. It's not like he is the one injured and now you're going to have a goose. We have to bring you this. Andy's almost upset of the week. Vacation cannot stop Andy's almost upset pick of the week. He wanted to make sure that everyone knew. It's the Bears versus the Ravens. It's the Bears again. Andy is in love with Mitch Trubiskey. Jay Gris loves it.

57:16 ↗

He's the happy bear, which is good because you don't want an angry bear. No. As mom always told me, never anger the bears. Yeah, well, I believe it's don't poke the bear. Yeah, there you go. There's even a phrase for it. All right. On Fridays, we go head to head to head usually. So this week, I guess it's just head to head. It's mono. Mono e mono. Well, see, we actually were, someone wrote in and said, mono e mono.

57:45 ↗

Is not technically correct? It means hand in hand. Mono A mono means like hand against hand or something. But I always thought mono e mono just meant man, man against man. I don't know. I don't know. Stupid Americans. I barely know English. Well, okay. We got to figure this out. All right. The Daily Dose. Brought to you by Playdraft.

58:12 ↗

head-to-head is what we'll call it. And before we jump into this, we do a weekly draft on draft using the draft app, which you can get at draft.com slash ballers. I just wanted to update Sam Bradford has been ruled out. Stefan Diggs is not practicing. Devante Parker is not practicing. So I would not expect either of those wide receivers to play. Thank you, Mike, for those updates. So it's a head-to-head on draft. We're doing an expert draft. So all the best players are gone. It is myself versus Jason.

58:42 ↗

And Jason gets the first pick. So looking at who's available now, you got Blake Bortles, Ben Rothlessberger. You're going deep down here. I am going to go with a guy that I just, I think is really good. And I don't like the landscape of the other quarterbacks. I saw so. I am very happy that you went with, with Philip Rivers because now I can wait forever on my quarterback. My first pick, a player I love this weekend. Chris.

59:09 ↗

Hogan. Oh, man. Wide receiver for the Patriots. And Jason is ashamed. I am ashamed. Well, the thing is, you know, it's like I was up first. It didn't know who would be available. When you're on the board first, it can be very tough. I'm, I'm surveying the landscape. There's actually a lot of names I like. And so I'm going to go ahead and don't take them. Don't take my pick, man. I'm going to take Samajai P Ryan. Oh, come on. You're going to whoop me.

59:38 ↗

Oh, Samaj is great in these expert leagues this week. Man, alive. That, that one hurts. That stings where it counts. Is it a hurts donut? Yeah. No, no fun for me there. We've said Deshaun Jackson must start. Yeah, I very strongly consider Deshaun Jackson. So I'm taking Deshaun Jackson for my first wide receiver. And I am going to, I'm thinking between Elijah McGuire here and.

60:07 ↗

It's a trap. All right. I'm going to go Mike Gillisley. Okay. I'm going upside of multi-touchdowns. I got you. He's looked good. Just, just unfortunately those touchdowns are not showing up. Who, man? These expert leagues, man. This is tough in the streets. I really like this player. I think that he is the breakout is official and real. And was Stefan Diggs likely to miss. I'm going to grab Adam. Oh, that was the only guy.

60:35 ↗

I knew I want. You're just literally taking everybody that I want. I don't like it. I have your list. I have your list of players that you really like. And I am grabbing them. And then I do not need to take a quarterback because you have already done that. Yeah. You know what? That was so stupid. That was a rookie mistake. I'm very surprised you made that. The problem is we're head to head. And I have yet to do a head to head here. I'm used to three players. I'm going to take Kevin Coleman. I'm going to take some juice at the running back position despite him not being the starter.

61:04 ↗

He's getting it done through the air. All right. So I get the last pick here for my wide receiver. I'm not taking one. I'm going to go Jordan Reed. Nice. Take a tight end for that wide receiver tight end spot. All right. So since it's just me now, here's some of the running backs out there, Elijah McGuire, Amir Abdullah, James White. I do like Abdullah this week. I do like Adela this week. I do like Adela this week. I do like Adela this week. So he's my pick. And.

61:33 ↗

I believe we're over an hour because daddy's gone. I still have to make my last picture. Oh, really? Yeah, I got to get a quarterback in here. Oh, that's right. I'm going to go with the beef brisket. Hey, where's the name? Jacoby Brissette. Monday night. So let's read back these teams. We got I got Jacobi Brissette, Samage, Tevin Coleman, Chris Hogan, Adam Thielen. Oh, man, I love your team. And Jason's rocking, Philip Rivers, Mike Gillisley, Amir Abdullah, D. Jacks, and Jordan Reed.

62:01 ↗

Huge upside potential. Huge downside potential. Yeah. I am projected to win by three. I like it, man. You got to be aggressive. You got to be aggressive.
