Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the podcast. That's the fantasy footballers podcast, if you're nasty. I am your host with the most for today. Mike, the fantasy hitman Wright, joined by my current reigning best friend of all time, Jason Moore. We are less than a month away, Mike.

Oh, from Best Friends Day. From Best Friends Day. I believe it's October 23rd. I believe you are correct. I can't wait to celebrate. It's going to be a great one. I don't know if you caught all of Sunday live, Jason. I did. I did. Great job. There was an unfortunate moment that happened on that show. Remind me. I had to declare...

Brooks, my best friend. Oh, yeah. I mean, I get it. De facto. Yeah, he was there. I wasn't. No one else was in the room, so I had no friends. That's right. He was your best friend in the room for sure. For the moment. What a day for me. What a day for Mike. He had the richest best friend of his life. It's Wednesday, September 29th. This is, oh, episode 1122. That's not too bad.

On today's show, we got Buy or Sell News and Notes, trending or ending, and we're going to break down this incredible Thursday night matchup, which I'm sure Jason will be very excited for because he loves these Thursday matchups with bad teams. You know, it's one of my favorite things to do is watch bad football. But we haven't had any. No, well, I don't know. The Eagles kind of.

The Eagles kind of made a little bit of bad football, but you're right. Even the matchups so far that we thought were going to be duds have been mostly great. And the great thing about fantasy football is that even this Thursday night matchup is going to be incredibly important because they all are. That is correct. A couple of house cleaning notes here. We have a brand new giveaway going footclan giveaway.com. I'm told to push this button.

At the FF Ballers, or you can follow Jason. At Jason FFL. I am at FF Hitman, and Andy is at Andy Holloway. Let's move on. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction. Welcome to buy or sell.

Brooks, the richest man in the world, sets some lines for us, and we say if we're buying or selling. You've been on fire. You are my nemesis. I am eight of nine, and that is simply because Rahim Mostert went down to injury in week one. I firmly believe I would be nine for nine. I am seven for nine. I'm right behind you. That's not bad. But it feels bad to be in second place. And the reason for me is Rahim Moster and George Kittle, heikin over that line. That's skin on his teeth. Yeah.

He made it. Yeah, last week was George Kiddle, Robinson, and Robert Woods. Today we are featuring Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts running back, who seems to continue to get a pass. Like, all fantasy football attention. Now, I am a little bit biased. I just said it. I admit it. I don't run away from this. That in the conversation of Clyde Edwards-Alair versus Jonathan Taylor,

In our rookie drafts, I had the first overall pick when they came out. I selected Clyde over Jonathan Taylor, even though Taylor was my favorite running back. I just, I couldn't argue with the draft capital and the landing spot of Clyde Edwards O'Leary, so I went in on it. And all the fantasy attention has been, Clyde Edwards O'Lear, he's awful. He is terrible, which I mean, I'm part of that train right now, too, because he hasn't looked great until week three. But meanwhile,

Jonathan Taylor over here, 17 for 56 on the ground, 15 for 51 on the ground, 10 for 64, which that's not bad, but no rushing touchdowns in that time. The targets that you saw week one disappeared, but here is the buyer's cell, Jason, at Miami, who just got barbecued. If you know what I mean, barbecued? I was trying to give us. Peyton barbecue? Yeah.

I was trying to get there. Yeah, I think we got there. All right. 70 rushing yards for Johnny Taylor. Will he hit the over, the under you're going to buy or sell? I am going to sell this line. Ooh. Sorry, JTT. They lost Quentin Nelson. Back to kids, Bob. Yeah. They lost Quentin Nelson, which is not going to improve the running game. Despite Peyton Barber.

I mean, look, he's fresh. Peyton Marlowe was super fresh for that game. You know, I do still think that the Miami Dolphins are a good defense. So the fact that he hasn't hit that line yet loses Quentin Nelson in a bad matchup, I'm going to take the under there. And I'm going to buy. Oh, all right. We already have a difference of opinion. And just based on the way that these things have gone, you know who to side with. But this is.

I think this is the moments that if you're going to try and get Taylor low, this is the time to go and do it. I think that he's going to have a solid game. His bounce back performance of the year against the Miami Dolphins. So you're more confident in Jonathan Taylor being good rest of season than Clyde Edwards-Alaher being good rest of season? Yeah.

I still am. It's funny what a difference week one makes, because I think that if you swapped week one and week three with these two players, and Clyde came out, had a strong week one. If you gave me the targets that Jonathan Taylor saw in week one for Clyde, then yes. But just week one. Yes. That's what I mean. It's like, you know, now it's like, oh, yeah, he's good. And then they are running back 29 and 31. They're basically right next to each other through three weeks.

The next one, Marquis, Hollywood Brown, who we've had this drop, but I guess it just has never been used, but it's now deserved. Oh, oh yeah. Not a city. That's a shout out to spitballers. Thank you, Jason. You're welcome. Who has really been on a tear the last eight or nine games or so. Now I know last week it didn't work out. Three for 53, seven targets.

two egregious drops. One, maybe he could have caught it. The third drop, the questionable, like, okay, the difficult drop, all the free pass goes away with the other two drops. The other two drops means he just had three egregious drops. Yeah, and they were bad because had he come down with just one of those, it would have been another incredible week for Hollywood Brown. Taking on the Denver Broncos, who have been a very solid defense.

I mean, they've played against weaker competition at the quarterback position so far, but Hollywood Brown does he get back on track, top 24 wide receiver, Jason. This is a really good line. I think he can easily get there if you look at his last. He's been great. He really has been solid. Even this last game, you look at, he was the wide receiver.

But seven targets in that game looked good. He was a top 24 guy the first two weeks. And going back to last year, he was a top 24 guy in half of his weeks, the second half of the year. So you'd think buy, but I am going to sell it. I do love Hollywood. Denver is a good team. I think they're going to game plan. But really, a big part of this is Rashad Bateman. Their first round wide receiver has been activated.

I think he will be part of this game. And so it's just, you know, we've talked a lot over the last year and a half about the size of the passing pie for the Ravens. And when you've got to divide that up, you know, it's like, oh, is this going to be Mark Andrews? Is this going to be Hollywood? Now Sammy Watkins, now you've got Rashad Bateman. Also, Miles Boykin also activated from the injured reserve. So I just think it's going to be split too many directions. I'm going to take the under. Still having a good game, though.

Yeah, I have him ranked outside of my top 24 by at least a few spots as of this recording on Wednesday. So I will reluctantly sell on that one because I think it'll be close. Miles Sanders versus Kansas City. Will he see 15 opportunities? He saw 20 week one, 15 on the dot in week two. And then that incredible Eagles offensive game plan where...

Miles Sanders had two carries, I believe it was, and four targets, and they got boat raced. Do they write that ship and get back to Miles Sanders? It's tough because I think the reason he didn't get those opportunities was solely because they got boat race. That was it. It was the cowboys came out and slacked them. But they're playing the...

The chiefs, the one and two chiefs who are going to want to shellac. The last place. Oh, that's right. Last place in the division. The only one and two team in the division, right? Yes. So I'm going to let you pick first here. A bold move. Yeah, thank you. A bold move by you, my best friend. 15 opportunities. Yeah, I will. I'll buy it. I'll buy it. Siriani strikes me as a man who just he pulled at Andy Reed.

Where at the end of the game, he's asked, why wasn't Jamal Charles worked back into the offense more? And he goes, oh, wait, he wasn't? I better go look at the film of the game that I'm in control. What Andy Reed used to do is after the game, he would just say, we need to get Jamal Charles the ball more. He's like, this is your choice is literally you. Who are you talking to? So I could totally see that. I could see going back to the tape and being like,

Okay, we clearly should have given him the ball more. This is a great line again, Brooks. I'm going to take the under. I'm going to sell it just because 15 is a, it's a hefty amount. All right. Well, either you're catching up or we are separating. That's right. That was by herself from pristineauction.com, the best memorabilia site on the internet.
