This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ah, welcome in. Another day in the neighborhood. Mike's hair looking good today. Today? Every day, Mike. Just the day, Mike. Now, how can you tell who he is? Is it because he's holding up a sign that says Mike? Every day, Brooks reminds us, you know, give it.
We got new people coming in. It's that time of the season. It's fantasy football. Not everybody is as insane as we are. You've got your name tag on? But I want people to know that Mike is over here. Oh, Jason's showing in. Look, now who's stupid? Andy. That's stupid. What a dumb name, number one. Andy, Mike, and Jason, the fantasy footballers welcoming you in.
To another episode, it's Wednesday, August 14th. We got the top 10 quarterbacks on the show today. Some huge announcements. We have buyer sell. We even are going to talk tight ends as well as quarterbacks, which we did do the last two episodes. So if you want quarterbacks, good news already did it.
This is where I check the news and notes. I see Andrew Luck's name in there. And I see Kay's Keenham's name. We're talking quarterbacks, Jason. I apologize. Oh, man. Can't wait to talk Kay's Keenham and Daniel Jones. Everybody just turned off their podcast. Click. No, it's a jam-packed show. We're excited to have you in with us. If you're brand new to the fantasy footballers, we're a five day, a week, podcast.
and we're happy to have you with us. We're going to help you win your league. I'm going to help you approach things the right way in your draft. Going to have fun doing it? No doubt about it. I think we need to hit a couple of things before we hit buy and sell. Is that okay with you guys? Yeah, they're pretty big things. There's a really, really big one. First, I'll preface it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Also.
We hate you. Oh, man. Yes. Okay. Both of those. Breaking our hearts. Because thank you. I said it like 10 times because that's the real sentiment. All the listener league entries, videos, stories, poems, pictures, diatribes, whatever you want to call it. Events. Unbelievable. So that's all the thank you. Sandwiches. I hate you is that.
We do have a finite amount of listener league spots to bestow upon people. It is an arduous process. I should have said thank you for food. There was food that showed up at the studio. We obviously had it tested by Brooks first to make sure it was safe to eat. He is no longer with us. So really not a thank you to that guy. Well, thank you to Brooks in that case. We'll never forget you, Brooks. Your memory will live on. But we hate you at the same time because they're too good.
And we had to look. And we had to choose. Only a few people had the option to make the cut. And there are so many absolutely worthy listener league submissions that unfortunately did not get in, that it breaks our heart. You guys put in so much work, energy effort. You guys and gals are amazing out there. Your personalities, your passion. It's just awesome. So genuine thank you from the bottom of our heart.
And we emailed, and we emailed. We did. We emailed the winner. So check your email, check your spam if you haven't seen it. However, you can, if you're like, I don't have, man, I did all that work I didn't get in. Or I didn't even do work because I don't have that, that's that passion. That, that, you know, I didn't, maybe I didn't want to do work. Maybe I don't know how to make a music video. You can get in next year's listener league.
Just by playing fantasy football, the Megalabol is here again, the 2019 Megalabol. Oh, you chicken down on your modulation, bro. You had some room to go up. You were leaning back. I thought I was hurting your ears. If you missed out on getting into the listener league, if you like fantasy football, if you want to play in a tournament against other foot clan members.
This year's winner of the Megalibol, which is now open. This year's winner not only gets the honor of being the Megalibol champion, but you also win a coveted 2020 listener league spot, plus a personal invite from the three of us to join us for Wild Card Saturday. So if you win the league, you've got the personal invite, come tour the studio, sit in on a show, watch the games with us.
And you win a listener league spot. Now, the Mega Bowl was huge last year, Jay. It was awesome and huge. But awesome and huge. But it was limited last year because we simply couldn't manage the amount of people that wanted to be in it. But that has been remedied. Thank you, Sleeper.

All right. Without further ado, let's get into our quick question of this Wednesday. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction. All right. Buy your sell time, guys. We're doing it again because it's Wednesday. Titans wide receiver Corey Davis will outperform his current average draft position of 906. Sell.
Oh, sorry. It's not a race. I felt like I was on a game show. But sometimes with Corey Davis, it may feel like a race to sell. That is the wide receiver 42. That is a long way down the list, Mike. But will he outperform wide receiver 42? Sell. Okay. He's still sell. Last year, 65 receptions, 891 yards for touchdowns. Every time that Mike says sell, I get worried that I am.
not going to be allowed to then also select sell, which would be my choice. I realize wide receiver 42 is very low, should be easy to beat. But Corey Davis had all the opportunity in the world last year. Let me, let me illustrate that with the point. Who had a higher target share? Jarvis Landry or Corey Davis? Corby Davis. Jarvis Landry. I got you. I had to say over the trick question. To emphasize this, Adam Thielen or Corey Davis.
Remember how many targets Adam Thielen will get in? Yeah. Yeah, it's Corey Davis. Who had a higher target share? Corey Davis or Antonio Brown. I don't know if he's trying to trick us again. No, Corey Davis? That's the problem with Corey Davis. It's not more targets. We're just talking market share, but percentage of team targets. Yes. I'm selling. I'm selling. I don't think he outperforms it.
Adam Humphreys is a target hound. They want to run the football with Derek Henry. Delaney Walker was not there. They added AJ Brown. And they're a team that wants to run the ball. So yeah, Corey Davis, I am no longer, I don't think I ever was a huge believer, but I was, and I'm really disappointed. All right, I think he's a good player. I just think he's in a bad situation. You put him on a different team, higher pass volume.
I think he does work. It's hard to get higher. It's only his third season he's coming into as well. Yeah, I saw Brooks put entering year three, the year three narrative. Brooks has a dynasty. I don't. I don't. No, I just think we're getting used to our expectations for wide outs. The problem is the performance he had last year with the market share that he had. What was his fantasy finished? I have that in 2018.
He was the wide receiver 28. Yeah, I mean, he could definitely finish inside 42. I'm still selling it. Humphreys is going to soak up targets. Walker, Brown. The market sure goes down. The team wants to run the football. I'm selling. Yeah, I mean, if he finishes the wide receiver 36, he outperformed it. But I'm still selling because there are other guys at where he's going that I think have a higher chance to finish better than Corey Davis. Seahawks running back Chris Carson.
We'll have at least 30 receptions this season. There's been a lot of hype about Chris Carson having the best hands on the team. And they want his targets to be at least in the 50 range. Okay. So what is happening over there? Last year he had 20 receptions for 163 yards on 25 targets and 14 games. I'm buying. I'm buying. No more Doug Baldwin.
A lot of talk about involving Carson and Rashad Penny. And let's not forget, Mike Davis, quite a few vacated targets of Mike Davis leaving on buying Chris Carson more than 30 receptions. I definitely think he's more than 30 receptions. I mean, he was.
on pace last year for 23 receptions once he got the start in week three. You know, if you remember those first two weeks, he wasn't that involved. So, yeah, a slight tick up. Mike Davis being gone, I'm rising a lot on Chris Carson. I'm buying that the line was set too low because I think 30 is not a ton. 40 is. If you would put the line at 40, it would be much harder. Watch this. The line is now 40.
