The video introduction admits it is the fourth or fifth failed attempt, peels back the production curtain, and frames a bad weekend as emotional processing. The live show places the Borgogan, Papa Josh, and Judge Giamatti in the building; Papa Josh is described as perpetually too cheery and bouncing off the walls while the hosts feel like victims on the upended Titanic hitting the propeller. One host explicitly calls that his fantasy season.
The hosts say community-submitted puns are how the show always processes a football weekend. The list runs through Wowvin Cook, Robert Tanya On, Cooper Hiccup, Greg Dullcich, Bore Darrell Patterson, Generic Henry, Christian My Dear Watson, Just Win Fields, Amon Roar St. Brown, Alvin Camera, Saquon Sparkly, Christian Smirk, Clyde Edwards Despair, and Squashed Palmer. Amon Roar is declared stupid, the worst, and across the line before a host compares the room's bad mood to Titanic passengers rejecting puns.
When Deshaun Watson news is introduced, one host asks who Voldemort is, realizes the reference means the player who shall not be named, says he loves the logic, calls it a good nickname, and closes with 'Voldemort it is.'
A formerly staunch anti-Taysom opinion starts to flip as Hill interrupts unsuccessful Saints drives, prompting another host to say 'Welcome to the party.' Near the close, Taysom outscores Clyde by one yard, the desk directly calls Mike to climb the hill, and Mike describes himself and Taysom as an old movie fight of completely unblocked haymakers that he absorbs and returns for good fun.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire's zero rushing yards, zero receiving yards, and six-percent snap role call for sad music. The hosts spell B.Y.E. but expand it as 'Bring your evening,' say goodbye, prefer dropping a bomb on waivers, and note Kansas City's wrong first-round pick caused many listeners to make the wrong pick. An Andy Reid voice benches Clyde for a seventh-rounder and gives him a mustache while trying to imbue him with Brian Westbrook.
A six-catch, 66-yard line is immediately labeled the Mark of the Beast and another reason to stay away. When Papa Josh appears not to recognize the joke, the hosts are astonished and say they make it roughly every three weeks—while insisting this particular instance is real.
When T.J. Hockenson's seven catches, 45 yards, and ten targets appear among disappointing tight ends, the hosts reject the classification, call the producer row haters, and repeatedly command Brooks to delete the entry.
The video introduction admits it is the fourth or fifth attempt, peels back the curtain, and says a bad fantasy weekend must be emotionally processed. The live producer roll call places Kyle the Borgogan, Papa Josh, and Judge Giamatti in the building. Papa Josh is described as perpetually too cheerful and bouncing off the walls while the hosts are sour; the room compares the fantasy collapse to the Titanic rising before victims hit the propeller, and one host says that is metaphorically his season. Monday Punday supplies Wowvin Cook, Robert Tanya On, Cooper Hiccup, Greg Dullcich, Bore Darrell Patterson, Generic Henry, Christian My Dear Watson, Just Win Fields, Amon Roar St. Brown, Alvin Camera, Saquon Sparkly, Christian Smirk, Clyde Edwards Despair, and Squashed Palmer. Mike rejects the Amon Ra delivery, another host says the Titanic's passengers probably did not appreciate puns either, and the segment sails into news. The most durable nickname origin arrives when a host asks who Voldemort is, realizes Deshaun Watson is the player who shall not be named, calls the nickname good, and declares 'Voldemort it is.' Mike's accepted Taysom Hill grudge then evolves. An anti-Taysom opinion starts to flip amid Saints dysfunction, another host welcomes the convert, and the close directly invites Mike to climb the hill before Mike describes his Taysom relationship as completely unblocked movie haymakers that he absorbs and returns for good fun. Clyde Edwards-Helaire receives a longer funeral: sad music accompanies zero rushing yards, zero receiving yards, and a six-percent role; B.Y.E. is deliberately expanded to 'Bring your evening'; the desk prefers dropping a waiver bomb and says Kansas City's wrong pick made many listeners make the wrong pick. An Andy Reid voice then orders Clyde to the bench, replaces him with a seventh-rounder, and gives him a mustache to turn him into Brian Westbrook. Elsewhere a six-for-66 line triggers the Mark of the Beast, and the hosts are stunned Papa Josh has not heard a joke they say appears every three weeks. At the end, the desk rejects T.J. Hockenson's placement among the duds, calls the producers haters, and orders Brooks to delete the entry from the live document.
What do we got like one, two finishes inside the top 26? Yeah, I don't view, I don't view Debo as a trade for target. That's not to say he doesn't have good games here or there along the way. He's super talented. You can't tackle him easily. If you look at this last game, you know, he was on the field for 87% of the snaps. That's, that's how he's always been used. He's not, you know, because of the scheme there, you don't have 100% of snaps for Debo. So his utilization is fine, but now with Christian McCaffrey, I've got worries. And Brian and I, you're playing well. Brandon Ayuk, 80 yards, four games in a row, George Kittle, you know, Debo. There's just not enough. This isn't a team.
that I think is going to go out there and score 35, 40 points on a regular basis. They have a great defense, and they run the ball. This is a team that I think is going to win a lot of games with, you know, 20 to 24 points. And when you divide that up amongst a lot of good options, including Christian McCaffrey, it's going to be inconsistent for the pass catchers. George Kittle will have a good game. Brandon and Iuk will have a good game, and Debo will have good games. They won't be consistent and they won't be weekly happy starts. Chris Oliva was just 3 for 40. Any concerns there? I mean, if it's Andy Dalton, yeah. Joshua Palmer, 3 for 44, has not really, again, I'm disappointed in the season for Joshua Palmer. Sure. I thought he was capable of becoming more of a, I mean, especially 100 yards last week. You know, a part-time alpha, right, when your other guys are down. Darnell Mooney, 4-for-57, whatever. It is what it is. Chase Claypool hasn't done anything yet.
Uh, let me bring up, um, let me bring up a couple of players. One is Amari Cooper who Kyle, I mean, this road Amari Cooper. I mean, he can't, he can't do it, right? I mean, give me the road totals. He's like two for 20 on average. Yeah, this is the simulation that's confirmed that when he's on the road. How do you, how do you do that though? He's got Buffalo in Buffalo next week. On the road. Yeah, no thanks. Put him down. Sit him. Cortland Sutton. is a really difficult discussion because it is attempting to find a ruby in a pile of manure. In a duke? Yeah, in a pile of just, I mean, I don't want to dig through the manure to hopefully find a gym inside of it. So there's part of me that just wants to distance myself from this offense. Colton Sutton was six for 66. That is the mark of the beast. Another reason to stay away.
Wow, Josh, have you never heard that joke? We tell that joke like every three weeks on this show. But this one, this time it's real. However, the Raiders. However, no Judy. However, Russell Wilson. I mean, Sutton is probably a flex play. 11 targets. So this isn't me giving you a, oh, he had 35% of the targets when there was none, but 11 raw targets. That's raw. Raw. Raw. He also had a couple of great. Catches where he had to go up and moth someone. He was coming back to the ball, falling, had to reach behind him on a bad throw, caught the ball against the Raiders. I'm putting Cortland Sutton in my lineup this next week. He'll have the target percentage. The matchup is great. And yeah, you're certainly disappointed with six for 66 this last week. But talent opportunity, just wish he had a quarterback. Yeah. One deal.
Juan Dale has been useless. Yeah, just to go backwards real quick, I did look up the specific splits for Amari Cooper home and road. 21 points on average at home. Impressive. Five on the road. I mean, they are, he basically is dominating right now at home, averaging 10 targets at home, 90 receiving yards at home 30 on the road. He's got a killer mattress. Is that what it is? I was trying to think is it its local Wi-Fi or something? I mean, like. Very comfortable. He's getting whatever rest he gets at home. He doesn't get on the road. Yeah, Kyle, I was having Kyle pull up some of the separation numbers for Cortland Sutton. Because we've seen Sutton throughout his career be able to highball, you know, go up and get it and make a competitive catch. And he's always been good at that. Numbers you sending me target separation is ranked 82nd in the league. So that would be, I mean, that's way down there for a guy that's supposed to be a number one wide receiver.
I wonder why he, you know, he just disappears. He's disappeared his whole career and it's bewildering. So, but Las Vegas, if you're going to play him, that's the best matchup you can without Jerry Judy. Wondale is, like I said, he's doing nothing. Yeah. Wondale is doing absolutely jack squat. Very, very disappointing that we haven't seen the numbers increase. I mean, he's not, uh, at this point with biweeks. I don't roster Wondale. That's fine. Alan Lazare, three for 45. Yeah, and it was all one huge catch in overtime. This is very TBD because Alan Lazard has been quite good on the season. The question will be Christian Watson, is that breakout something that the team is looking of. This is what we were waiting for. We will now heavily feature Christian Watson and Alan Lazard is the wide receiver two for the team. Or was this just a very specific matchup?
that Watson was able to exploit. They get Tennessee next week, the passing volume. We said it was very, very low for Aaron Rogers. So I would still be playing Lizard next week, but eyes will be on it. Jason, Brandon Cook's had seven targets, four for 37. That's kind of what he's called back. Yeah, that's kind of what he's done this year, is enough targets to be okay, not enough production to be good for fantasy. Obviously, he gets that touchdown. He's not in this section, but it was nice that he was back out there. And I do think that in the right matchup, you can still start him going forward. All right, real quick here. Disappointing tight-in performances, Kittle, Everett with the injury. Frymuth, 4-4-36 with really a struggling Kenny Pickett. He seems very limited right now, and that's going to hurt. Hawkinson, 7 for 45. I take that. That's not a bad game at all. No way. Hawkinson had 10 targets. Brooks delete that out of here. They're just haters back there. Delete it.
Hawkinson is a big part of the Vikings offense. Kyle Pitts, two for 28, Greg Dulcich, one for 11, Robert Tunyon, one for eight. Yeah, the good news for Greg Dulcich, he was still out there, essentially like every snap. This, it's a, he could take advantage of the Judy situation. He could. And they get the Raiders. Yep. So I think Greg D can climb into your lineup, especially if you lost a tight-in like. Zachary Ertz to injury. Tayson Hill outscored Clyde Edwards-A-Layer by one yard. Just putting it in perspective. Climb that hill. Shout it from the top, Mike. This is your time to shine. I mean, he's coming back for like 400 yards next week. I know next week. This is the game that you play when you're anti-Tasem Hill. They'll name them the starter next week. Like you know those the old school movie fights where it's just.
completely unblocked haymakers. Oh, yeah. And you just absorb it. And then you just trade them. That's me and Tayson Hill. It's just good, good fun. Anybody else you want to talk about, Jason? No, nobody else. I'm sure there will be massive duds on my roster tonight in Monday Night Football. Good to see we could. Bringing it back where it belongs in my heart. Division leader over here, Jason Moore, on the way to the playoffs. Just, you know. Emotionally processing the season. We all want to win, too. We all want to win. Let's see what happens tonight. Well, we got a big waiver show tomorrow. Lots of juicy names. Yep. I wonder who we're going to talk about. It's such a mystery. Catch you tomorrow, everybody. Enjoy the game tonight. Stay safe. Goodbye. Cue for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast. Join our fantasy football community on Jointhefoot.com.
