to not use Bach Allen. Do you cut Thomas Rawls and Adrian Peterson? Yes. Are they both dropable? Yes. Do you cut and drop Jeremy Hill based on the rising star and what you've got so far? Yes, Jeremy Hill can be cut. All right. Wide receivers that pooped their pants. Amari Cooper and Crabtree. He's very eloquent. Yes. These two pooped prior. What? You know what's amazing, Jay?

54:55 ↗

All my players are on these poop in my big boys. And I am very thankful for that because we had a head-to-head matchup. I just need like 18 field goals from Dan Bailey tonight when I'm set. Terrell prior, two for 19. Six catches for Crowder in that offense. Josh Doxon caught the bomb. First sighting of Josh Doxon in his career.

55:14 ↗

so far. I disagree with Mike on the ascendant. Oh, no, I'm not talking like this is not an immediate thing, but the snaps have gone up every week. Ryan Grant's snaps are going down. And he started the game. He was, you know, an announced starter. At this point with how bad Terrell Pryor has been connecting with Kirk Cousins. Sure. I think that Josh Doxon is worth a speculation. This isn't a pick him up and play him. This is a-peak him up? This ain't no peek-em-up.

55:42 ↗

You grab him, you sit him on the bench, and it wouldn't be shocking. Like, he's still a first round talent. I got you. And the team, part of why the team said, okay, we can move on from Pierre Garcone and Sean Jackson, it's because they planned on Josh Doxon filling that role. Sure. So more poopers. Jeremy Macklin, Martavis Bryant, Tyrell Williams, Dante Moncrief. Also some, you know, Marvin Jones, didn't get it done. Galladay hasn't shown up since week one.

56:12 ↗

This was the risk about the snaps for Kenny Goliday. The leading, I asked these guys yesterday. I said, who's the leading receiver? Who led the team in receiving yards for the Detroit Lions? And they went through them all, Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, Theoretic, Amir Abdullah, Eric Ebron. Nope, nope, nope, nope, no, no, no, no, no. It's T.J. Jones. Of course. Yeah, so that's not good. And then Travis Kelsey.

56:38 ↗

He said, thanks for starting me. Here's one catch for one yard. Classic. The old one for one. Classic. He wasn't going to let that single target be dropped to the ground. He took that target and he brought it in. And we thank you for that. How do we properly celebrate Hunter Henry's goose egg again? Oh, man. Oh, fool me once. I mean, my, my rage drop of Hunter Henry felt so bad in week two. And now we have.

57:07 ↗

Two games. Two games of zero. No targets. I mean, there's no way. There's no way I'm moving forward with Hunter Henry. I know that the tight end position is very inconsistent. It's hard to get those right. I feel like it's worse this year because of the injuries at the top, because you don't have Eifford on the field and Jimmy Graham was banged up, although he had a good week finally this week. But it feels worse. Jordan reads out. I mean, Kelsey.

57:34 ↗

You're not happy with two-thirds of his weeks, right? I mean, correct. At this point, Zach Ertz has been the most consistent with Gronkowski. And then Rudolph, Doyle, Hooper, Ebron, Fleener, knocking himself out of that top five, Jason, one for 21. I hate Fleener. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Zach Miller was terrible. I played Evan Ingram this week. I mean, that was my option. On the season, Evan Ingram is the.

58:05 ↗

Tight end number what? Eight? Nine. Yeah. Is that before this week? Nope. That is including. All right. Any updates for the Monday night football game of Cardinals and Cowboys? I wanted to move back to a question. Because he's in the pooper. Jameson Crowder. What's your temperature on Jameson Crowder? Why was he in the pooper? Because he was six for 52. I mean, Jameson Crowder. Six catches is, is.

58:31 ↗

I mean, if Landry threw six for 52, I'd be like, oh, that's Jarvis Landry. I mean, just not scoring. Okay, well, just saying that Crowder really has not. No, that's a good question. I'm just, I'm talking like moving forward. Yeah. What is your confidence level? Crowder is a rosterable, not startable. Yeah, I mean, I would say startable and a good matchup and a flex, but yeah, he's a rosterable guy. Wait and see. What do you think, Mike? I just.

58:57 ↗

I wouldn't drop him. Would you drop him? No, no, no. I would not drop him. But I think I agree with that take of you hold him on your roster, but you bench him. But I mean, he's been, I guess all of Washington. Kurt Cousins has been bad. I mean, I think that's. But Kurt Cousins was bad. He was bad the first two weeks. He was great last night. And James and Crowder was 50 yards. Why didn't we mention Kirk Cousins in the stud muffins? I don't know, Brooks.

59:22 ↗

What's up with that, Brooks? Oh, Brooks. What's up with that? Brooks is on my team. I'm the anti-Washington offense guy. Yeah. Although I did say I thought Kirk Cousins would have a good game. Cousins was surgical last night. He was incredible last night. 365 yards, three touchdowns, has only thrown one interception on the season, 37.4 fantasy points. We're past the first two weeks. So it's Kirk Cousins. Levy on Bell and Kirk Cousins. It's going to be a challenge next week for Kirk, though.

59:51 ↗

No way, man. Chiefs on the road. He's Kirk Cousins. I hear Arrowhead Stadium is like super easy to play. Very quiet, very tepid conditions. All right. We did have a voicemail question pertaining to the Monday night football game. I'm going to go ahead and play this one from Derek. Hey, guys. Cardinal fans, as am I. But Carson Palmer's been pretty terrible the last few weeks. And right now I'm up by about 0.7 points. Only minus one.

60:26 ↗

for interceptions, but he's the last player to play, and I don't know when the stat corrections will come through. Thanks, guys. As in you would, he's thinking about benching? I believe that's the question. I would play Carson Palmer. Yes, you definitely play Carson Palmer for a myriad of reasons. He's at home, and he actually, he was okay last week. Yeah, even if he, especially if you're only minus one for interceptions, he would have to basically.

60:50 ↗

throw a pick and then not play again the rest of the game. Or Joe Flacco. But regardless of that, if you were to just sit him, you take a risk. You brought up wisely the fact that you are aware of stat corrections. You are only up by less than a point. Thursday could come. And when the NFL stat corrections roll out to most fantasy platforms, all of a sudden you realize that the victory you thought you had turned into a loss. So you are not close enough. And the last and final reason is in most leagues,

61:20 ↗

To get into the playoffs, the tiebreaker is going to be total points scored. So think big picture here and make sure you're scoring as much as you can.
