Coming to you from the fantasy jocks.com studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome to the show, the fantasy footballers podcast.

Jason, Mike, and Andy back again. How's it going, everybody? I hope you avoided any Thursday landmines. I hope that you had the Thursday explosions. Sure. I think I tweeted what's orange and has four heads and no hope. And I was referencing the creamsicle's backfield. What are they doing with their running backs? You don't, I mean, we saw this in New York last year. You don't find.

rhythm and success by giving four running backs three carries each. You also don't find success. I mean, against Cincinnati on the road. Regardless of that, having Damien Williams on there, he was one snap away from leading that backfield in snap count. That's not helping your team. It's just a dumb decision. He was the start. If you had to eyeball test the running backs, Pied was so far behind them all.

Then it was Williams, as the third were. He was terrible. And then it was arguable whether Ajai or Drake was better. They both looked okay. Yeah, I'd argue that Drake was probably the best. And Ajai, you know, he had a couple decent runs. But what can you evaluate when your team is? I mean, the time of possession was disgusting. Anyways, anyways. I'll digress for a second. Welcome to the show. We have a great one for you today. We have the rest of the matchups. We have our daily dose segment.

We have in or out, so we'll let you know about all the fantasy football injuries. You need to know about guys to keep in your lineup, out of your lineup, where things are trending. All the latest news, including breaking down the Josh Gordon news that broke yesterday. So if you don't know about that, stay tuned right here, listen through the show. We're going to get you all caught up. There are more collars being worn on the show today. Absolutely. Looking good. I guess we'll talk about that later, too. Sure. So quick question. Takeaways from the game last night. I'm going to take the softball here, guys.

A.J. Green's pretty good. He certainly is. Is that the kind of analysis you expect from this show? Yeah. Well, there were some rumblings in the bushes of the fantasy community. A.J. Green had back-to-back kind of down weeks for A.J. Green, like, what do I do? Hold tight. Hopefully he listened and traded for him. Yeah, AJ Green is coming. And he was there with a monster game. Although, I would say, for the game that he had, it was a bit of a letdown.

for me personally where the Bengals were just, I mean, they dominated the ball, like the time of possession, like Andy had said. But all they're doing is kicking field goals. So hopefully you had Mike Nugent on your team. And I did. It was great. And I hate kickers. And let me just say this. I hope this week I win my fantasy matchup by one point with Mike Nugent going off for 19 because I want that other player to be so upset.

that he should have won but lost because of a kicker that I put very little time or thought or energy into selecting. And it's ridiculous and get rid of kickers. Now Ryan Tanahill went out there and he made a lot of great throw. I had Tanahill ranked really low and then I'm driving. I wasn't able to watch live. And then the first time they get the ball is like, oh, 75-year-t touchdown bomb to Kenny Stills. I went, oh no. You know how close Kenny Stills came to dropping that one too?

That was the juggle job. He got it. Did he get him in the breadbasket? It was a breadbasket catch, yes. Let me final vote right here. Creamsicle jerseys. Oh, what is your vote? They were on fire. So you, wait. Those things were awesome. I got to translate the mic lingo. That's good, right? I'll give it. They were fully lit.

That's for the young folk. Jason, what's your official vote? I love color rush games. I like the craziness of the color. My wife did not like. She wanted somebody to paint the helmets green because she thought they looked like pumpkins. She's like, who's the pumpkin team? The pumpkins? Yeah, I've heard some different things. Somebody said they reminded them of those circus peanut candies. Which are not for everyone, but...

They're for this guy. What candy is not for Jason? Then you had the white tigers on the other side. So next week we have the Cardinals and 49ers on Thursday. So the Niners will be the color. Oh, wait. No, the Bengals were home when they were white. We might see like a black and white next week. I think we might see like white 49ers. And I can't remember what, I know the Cardinals have a full black jersey. I hope that the Cardinals go to the white because I love the Cardinals when they go full red.

I love it. They won't be full red. They might. That's what I'm saying. They've already released the jerseys. Oh, they have? They have released all the Nike color rush. I did not know.

The Cardinals are, in fact, all black with the red accent. And I will throw out these two notes. The Seattle Seahawk ones are...

Incredible. They're the full green. They're the full neon green and they look just amazing. What are the 49ers? Are they white? They're probably white. Yeah, I kind of skipped over them. I believe. I was so dazzled by Seattle and the Vikings ones are incredible as well. I believe this year they're having one team be white for colorblind. Wait, so the 49ers look almost identical to the Cardinals. What they said is every team has a color rush jersey and then there's a white.

alternative. So if there's ever a colorblind situation, one team will wear the full white. Well, someone will be in full white. I hope they're both just black. Yeah. And you can't tell who's who. They're both black and red. Yeah. Well, all right. Let's jump, uh, let's jump into the news. News and notes from around the league. I did want to add one thing. Mike will be on Periscope as he has been thus far this year on Sunday morning around 9 o'clock, right? Now that's Pacific. Pacific time.

So noon, noon Eastern time. Basically one hour before kickoff, which everything should still be on schedule for this Sunday. I know there's the London game. So I will not be periscoping before the London game because that would put it at five in the morning for me. As much as I love football in the foot club. We don't love it that much. That's not happening. All right. The big news, guys, yesterday. I know we're not used to Josh Gordon related news.

decided to enter a rehab facility will not return to the Browns when first eligible in week number five. The quote said that after careful thought and deep consideration, decided to step away from pursuing his return to the Browns and his football career to enter an inpatient rehab facility. And so there we are. I will say this. I think this is a great move. I mean, this is positive news. If Josh Gordon is dealing with.

These demons, these problems. Good for you, Josh Gordon, for taking care of it. I mean, clearly it's not good for fantasy players. That really actually sucks that you held him to the point of he's about to come back. But good for you, Josh Gordon. I hope you get better so you can actually come and play and we can watch that. Yeah, and then the obvious implication here for fantasy relevance is Terrell Pryor. Andy, I know not only.

Are you super excited about it? And you traded for Terrell Pryor, but you spent a lot of yesterday going back and watching film and deciding whether or not you believe he will be legitimate or whether this was a one-week wonder. So why don't you tell us what you believe Torel Pryor will be this season? Well, I'll say a couple of things first. One, there's a heart emoji in our actual show doc next to Torel Pryor and me. I didn't put it there, but I fully support the use of that emoji when it comes to Torel.

The other thing I'll say is I don't know if I've seen a team that has bounced between fantasy relevance and irrelevance more than in three weeks than the Cleveland Browns. We've seen, okay, you've got RG3 and prior hype to start the season. You've got Cory Coleman hype and then injury. You've had Josh McCown. Oh, it makes everybody look better and then McCown's out. Cody Kessler's behind center and, uh-oh. Wait, no, Terrell Pryor is behind center as well. Here's what I saw from the vast array of highlights.

that I saw of Trell Pryor last week in the way they were utilizing them with Cody Kessler behind center and the Dolphins game. Trell Pryor is the center of this offense, an offense that actually did move the ball against the Dolphins. And this week takes on the Washington Redskins in Washington. As long as Corey Coleman is hurt and Josh Gordon is not returning, Hugh Jackson has a history with Torell Pryor. Troll Pryor had separation on nine-tenths of his routes last week against...

albeit not great DBs in Miami. But what you saw was volume. And what else can you ask for from a fantasy-wide receiver? Now, yesterday I made, I took a gamble in one of our leagues. And I worked a trade where I'm getting rid of Dez and the headache of Dez's injury and when he'll return and what's wrong and Dak Prescott and all of that. And I went and I got Terrell Pryor. And there was more to it. There was much more to the trade. Draft picks back. Sure.

But I was willing to take that risk because here's exactly what I believe about prior. Take this to the bank. I tweeted it yesterday. He is a every week startable wide receiver 2 with week to week wide receiver 1 upside. That is what I believe about prior. And I believe that about him from here on out for the remainder of the year. I think he has separated himself. It's been a huge transformation for him. I'm very impressed with trial prior. I would go and acquire him. He's on waiver wires in certain leagues still. And if he's not, you can go get him at a bargain.

Now, I share the same. Brad Evans from Yahoo and I were both talking about Pryor last night, together and apart when everybody was asking us, we're buyers. We want to go buy Toreau Pryor. So that's what I'm buying into. I realize that, you know, not everybody has that opinion, but I think when you can get a, the guy that also takes snaps at quarterback, who I think will be the Wildcat goal line running back quarterback combo. He ran for a touchdown last week.

I just think that there are so much upside because if you complete a few passes, you run a few times, you're already at eight, nine points. Yeah, we love running backs with volume. Lamar Miller, he's been maybe a little bit disappointing, but you know what he's going to do is touch the ball 15 to 20 times. A wide receiver, you're not sure he's going to touch the ball 10 times. Well, you can be pretty confident right now that Breyer is going to touch the ball that many times, which is, that is fantastic for a wide receiver position. And Jason brings this up too about.
