Granted, Detroit, the matchup looks good, but if Kenny Galladay is indeed back, it's not as good. It's hard to know today, and I think we would all project that Kenny Galladay will be back this week. Yeah. All right. Let's hear this drop again. Full stream ahead. Beating him. Oh, it's just as good the second time as it was the first. All right. Are you dropping Carson Wins, Drew Brees, or Matthew Stafford? Sure.

54:18 ↗

I'm not dropping Stafford with, I'm projecting Kenny Gallaudet is back. Man, Carson Wentz, I would be willing to move on from Drew Brie's death, brutal. You're willing, you're already willing to pull the plug. So I agree with what you said. Stafford, I'm not dropping. I think Gallaudet is back and Stafford should be a good fantasy option. Carson Wince is done for me until he's looked poor, his receiving options aren't the best. I am.

54:46 ↗

totally fine moving on and then picking him back up off of waivers if he has a good game. I just don't think he's someone you have to grip tightly. Yeah, this is the point of the year when you have to, if you want to be a good fantasy player, you have to let go of what you thought would happen on certain players. Yeah, I mean, instead of rostering Carson Wince as your backup tight end, waiting and hoping he gets it together, if I could.

55:12 ↗

And I picked up someone else to play. I would much, much rather have a Jerich McKinnon or Joshua Kelly where it's like then a second backup quarterback. Did I say? You did say backup tight end. That's okay. We let you just keep going. All right. So for a streaming candidate this week, Mike, I have Mike's pick, but he got it in first. So I'll share mine.

55:39 ↗

This is gross. He's not a good quarterback. He will never be a franchise quarterback. But this is the point of fantasy football. You can stream mediocre quarterbacks in a plus matchup and be absolutely fine. It's Mitchell Trebisky, the Chicago Bears quarterback, currently a top 15 quarterback. He's been okay. He lit it up in week one. And the thing is, is he plays against Atlanta. Are you in love? I am. I mean, this is the second time you've picked him. I have, Mitch, if you're listening, you're not good.

56:11 ↗

and at football. But quarterbacking. Will you give him credit for a great, great start last week? He was really, really good. He plays well in stretches. And I think he will have a stretch this week against Atlanta who has just been terrorized. Granted, Atlanta so far has played really good quarterbacks. So, you know, we'll see kind of.

56:37 ↗

Is it the defense or was it, you know, Dak Prescott? Was it Russell Wilson? And now it's going to be Mitch Trubisky. But the reality is their defense is not great. And Mitchell Trubisky should be able to do enough. They're going to have to keep up with Atlanta's very good-looking offense. So I think he's a great streaming candidate. Do you keep a bucket around you when you drop Carson Wins to sign Mitchell Trubisky and play him?

57:00 ↗

Yeah, I mean, I'm on the toilet when that happens. I don't do that from, you know, my office, no way. All right, my streaming quarterback this week, it's Gardner Minshu. Yeah, baby. Taking on the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night football. He's still on the rostered in 20% of leagues on ESPN, 32% on Yahoo. Has the schedule that Mike has kept bringing up Miami, Cincinnati, Houston, Detroit.

57:29 ↗

for the next four weeks. I will be disappointed. Like if DJ Chart can't play on Thursday, one less, you know, kind of big play option for Gardner, that will make it tough. But he's just getting it done week to week. I mean, the first two games of the year have been nothing short of outstanding for Gardner. I mean, he had...

57:50 ↗

He went from completing 95% of his passes, Mike, down to a mere 67% this past week. Very disappointing. Three touchdowns each week, looking very reliable. And when you get through week six before the buy, he might be a top 10 tight end. Oh, see? Might be a top 10 quarterback at that point. Well, he's a top 10 quarterback right now through the first two weeks and his two matchups were the Colts and the Titans pretty decent defense. Right.

58:18 ↗

Yeah, I love it. Love Gardner moving forward for this next stretch. I've got Ryan Tannehill, Minnesota, man, it's not good up in the north for the Minnesota Vikings defense. And, to be fair, the offense. It looked pretty rough last week. Other than the offense and defense, though, a lot of optimism surrounding the franchise. And Anthony, they just lost Anthony Barr.

58:44 ↗

The defense hits just keep coming and coming for the Minnesota Vikings. They are bleeding fantasy points. Ryan Tanyhill, not as available as Gardner or Mitchell Tribisky, but if he is, you're firing him up this week versus Minnesota.

59:01 ↗

The bandwagon, the Cardinals bandwagon is available to all Vikings fans over the next few weeks. Oh, certainly. And it's been a fun ride. Yeah, it's been good. All right, we want to thank Pristine Auction for supporting the show. A DJ Moore signed jersey, $55. Woohoo. And 47 cents. You have to pay the 47 cents as well. But there's hundreds of daily auctions. I just traded for DJ Moore in the listener league. Did you guys see that? I saw it.

59:28 ↗

I did not see. It was essentially I moved Lamar Jackson and I moved. Oh, did. You went and got Kyler? And I got Kyler and I got DJ Moore. That's an Andy special. Yeah, yeah. Well, my son is also co-managing that team with me. Pretty big Kyler fan out here in Arizona. So use the registration code ballers at pristine auction.com to get a $10 credit. That'll do it for today's show. But we'll be back tomorrow with another one.

59:58 ↗
