Mike, the fantasy hitman, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Back at it. What'd you laugh at that, Jay? I am giggling. We didn't even get to see you yesterday. I know, I know. I was busy with kids and kids.

You beat both of us this week. Oh, yes. You're two super teams. So, Andy, you have a super team that is truly going to win a championship because you're unbelievable. You have like the number one quarterback, two top five wide receivers, two top five running backs, maybe more than that. And my team that is playing for 2027, I mean, sucks. Just super diarrhea. We have a league median. So your record is one in nine. Go on. Yes, exactly. I beat you.

And then in the Dynasty League... Turns out having Gibbs on by was enough to just... I'll bet you wish you had Gibbs. And then in the Dynasty League where Mike is genuinely a great team. He is the current champion. And in that league, I do want to take him down this year. I am competitive. I did beat him. And so I'm coming off a high. That feels good. You're coming off a high, Andy, on the hole in one. We talked about on the show. But the whole video was out now. And it is...

Look, I don't do this often. We don't do this often. In fact, hopefully never before, never again. But Matt, the Falcon. Oh, man. What a great job making that video, editing that video. God, I want to throw up. You know, and just, no, you really deserves it. It's very good. You crushed it. You did a great job. The video is awesome. It doesn't matter. Show your wives. Show your kids. Show your auntie. Because it is an awesome fun video of.

magnificent proportions. Yes. Yeah, it was, you know, everybody's response to it. People got emotional. I did. People saw. I was there. And you got emotional there? And then when he said he got me with the music. I know. It was well done. He told the real story. And you actually get to see the entire crew. That's what I loved about the videos. You see the whole, like the deucers here. You get a glimpse at them sometimes when they're not hiding behind glasses and hats and, well, the middle one doesn't hide. But, um,

You get to see everybody else. Yeah, it's great. You get to see some crazy weather. You get to see a crazy special version of Mike. You get to see Jason dodge golf balls on the green in the most hilarious way possible. And I do recommend turning your sound down, maybe the last 30 seconds to avoid Matt's sounds behind the camera. Well, here's what's funny. He was excited. He was, that's a word. Yeah, that was the word. He was out of breath. He was out of breath.

And it came through. But no, it was just a special core memory for the team. It needs to be seen. Yes. Yeah. So check that out. YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. We posted it on Saturday morning. One of the few days you don't have a show because Mike is live on Sunday mornings and we got shows the rest of the week. So it is up there. You can check it out. Like I said, YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers.

Let's go ahead and get into your Monday punday reactions to the weekend. Everyone's submitted by the fine people on Instagram and Twitter sending it our direction as we react to what was a crazy weekend in a lot of ways. Starting with one of the reasons I lost because Jason had almost no one to start, but he started Blake Scorum. Yes, he does. Oh, of course I did every week. How about CJ Proud? Yes, he played great. Ken Boom Walker. Yes, or Winneth Walker the 3rd.

I like Tyler Shuck Norris. I liked it, too. Mike. We got Bayshall Scootin. Yeah. Booty scooting. We got Emmeca Egg, Booyah. And Jeremy Bernard Dog. I don't even understand it. The nard dog? No. What's a nard dog? People get it. Okay. Smile Pitts. Matthew Golden Boy. Yay, Tucker. Isaiah. Me likey.

And Holy Shuck as well. Yeah. They weren't all good. Oh, dude. We had heinous Winston out there. That's part of why you beat me, Jason. How about Camp Sat Abu? Or Cam Scata, who? Or just Cam Scat. Yeah. That's what it really should be. Marshawn Void. Wack Prescott. Generic Henry. How about? I'm seeing a lot of players from my team. Yeah. Crying Williams. Oh, hey, Zay Flounders.

Uh, poo won Johnson. Oh, this one hurts. A.J. frown. Oh, this one hurts, too. I'll take it, Mike. Glass McConkey. Okay. Yeah, this is what I was giggling about. Irritable Bowers syndrome. So good. And Sam, darn it. I have ideas. Hashtag Monday Punday every Sunday night. That's one of my favorite I've seen. Iritable Bowers syndrome. I mean, I.

You know, you're still going to. That list was like my whole team. Al Borland's somehow still going to lose. But he ends up playing Bowers and Puka who have their worst, sort of the worst. And Eric Henry didn't have a great day. And how did you lose? And your team scored a ton of points. Yeah. The math doesn't matter. I think he was relying on Marshawn Lloyd. All right. We had some outlier performances this weekend, which we'll talk through on a brand new segment. Bank on It Smartly, presented by U.S. Bank.

All right, every week we're going to look at three outlier performances, good or bad, and we're going to decide, do we bank on it? Do we not bank on it? Tyrone Tracy, Jr. This is a great conversation. This conversation is annoying. There was a point early in the game. By the way, Tyrone Tracy had a, he basically had a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown. Great game. On eight opportunities. Cam Scataboo had six snaps, no touches. The report, part of why I lost.

By the way, if you want to know if the fantasy experts are idiots, sometimes, yes, they are. The report came out that Camp Scadaboo is going to get punished for his fumble. So what happened? Oh, he got punished. He had how many carries? Zero. Yeah. So they said, Naji will start. And I said, I'm going to go spin fab. I've got a biweek. I got two spots that fill. I'm going to go get the starter for the Giants and fire him up because there's just no way. I don't get, I just needed a baseline. Did you put Tracy in there? I did not. Oh, you would have beat me.

Yeah, I got nausea who scored 0.6 points and was awful. But Devin Singletary had 40% of the snaps. If you listen to the press conference from Harbaugh, he's like, he basically said, we got four guys. None of them have taken, gotten a hold of the job. So you think I want to play all four? The press conference was destructively upsetting. Harbaugh. Watching this. So he is not happy with the question. He's not happy with the situation. What he said.

was he absolutely did not punish Cam for the fumble. That was not what happened. They've got four guys in the rotation. They're waiting for someone to step up and no one has stepped up. He doesn't want to have four guys out there. He wants to have one guy and all of those guys want to step up and nobody's doing it. So according to him,

The normal operating procedure was that Cam has been so bad that they put him last and didn't give him a touch. Now, obviously, that is not true. That is not, that's utter nonsense. He, well, that part's true. Yes. He was clearly also and obviously punished for the fumble. In the press, or in the locker room afterwards, when you're talking to Cam Scataboo, he's like, yeah, I'm punished for the fumble. Like, like.

for sure he knows he's got to do better, he can't fumble, and not just fumbles. I mean, this is supposed to be about Tyrone Tracy, but this is, let's just make it about the answer to Tyrone Tracy is. Don't bank on it. Well, I was going to say is, is Cam Scadaboo? It's like, is Cam Scadaboo doghouse this season? Well, I mean, to me, yeah, it's Giants running backs. And my answer is you can't bank on any of them. I agree. Fair. Because I don't believe that you're going to make the jump from.

Zero snaps in Doghouse to Dominator on a team that... Oh, man, they got a quarterback now. Maybe. Part of what happened yesterday, too, is they said, we got down by so many points. The third down guys got the snaps. It was Singletary and Tracy. You didn't see... He basically was saying Cam was in there. We didn't intentionally not hand him the ball. We didn't call a running play when Cam was in there. He was in there six times. Yeah, but Najee. I mean, Najee started and got like, what, three or four carries.

And they were awful, of course. Yeah. But no, I would say that my verdict is don't bank on it for any of these guys. And I think the one that could emerge as a, you know, RB2-3 guy would be Cam Scataboo in a redemption role. But you don't know the quarterback. You don't know. The team is, I don't know. I don't feel like I can. No, I don't think you can bank on anyone in this backfield right now. If you have to bank on someone, it would be Cam Scataboo.

I expect him to, just because he is the most talented of the group. Yes. And you saw it in overtime last week. It just, he ended up fumbling. Yeah. And when you watch the press conferences and all the questions and everything that the people around, the media, Harbaugh, this was my fear before the season. Like, I love Camp Scada. I wanted at one point to, like, make him of my guy. That was quickly, I was like, I don't believe he's a Harbaugh guy.

And if Harbaugh wants to be like, the woo's at practice and the banging your head into the wall and all that. He's a awesome dog stuff is not Harbaugh. Oh, he's a cat guy. Yeah. Oh, Harbaugh loves kitties. He's a kitty cat guy. For sure. The, uh, the media is, uh,

We'll see. But they're not going to let us see how long they let Harbaugh keep doing this. Exactly. They're not going to, the media is not going to allow them to just not use. They will turn adversarial on you in New York, dude. Especially if you keep losing. So don't bank on it for those. Trey Tucker, Raiders wide receivers, start of the week. Oh, yeah, baby. Brother. Five for 97 and two.

Kurt Cousins on Trey Tucker said, Trey Tucker can just roll. I played with Deshaun Jackson. I've played with four two guys. He's faster than I realize he is. There's a time I need to launch and he'll go get it. His 17 game pace now 99 target, 68 for 1009. Wow. Final year under contract. The catch with Trey Tucker is like there are dudes like this. The catch is he is Trey Tucker who has done this to us. And he will do it again.

two more times this year. The big game. The big game. I mean, he did it in week two. He was the wide receiver six in week two, the wide receiver two so far this week. And part of why, you know, talk about why you made him a start of the week. Yeah, because he's a great matchup play. First of all, the Jalen Naylor injury.

brings clarity to the wide receiver room. The Buffalo matchup was just too good. You knew. Nailer was there. Sure, but he's been out. He's been, you know, he hasn't been a part, like he wasn't a practice most of the week. So you knew that game plan wise it was going to be, um, Trey Tucker as the focal point. Yeah. Um, what you know what's so funny. Iritable Bauer syndrome and the, the, the pooped in his big boy pants. He had 70 yards. Like,

How good is he? How good is any player where, I mean, not even a wide receiver. At tight end, he had 70 yards and we're like, suck. Didn't he have no targets at halftime? Correct. He had nine in the game. So it worked itself out enough. But I do think in the future you're going to have games and they're not going to be for a while. Not going to play Trey Tucker against the Rams, the Jets, the Niners, the Seahawks, Denver or Cleveland. And then their bye week.

But later in the year, when they get Arizona in championship week, I mean, I'll bet he ends up having a good game. So final verdict on Trey Tucker. Unfortunately, it's a don't bank on it for me as well. One more chance at it. Omar Cooper Jr., okay? So he had a play in the first week of the season. Touchdown, I think. Let me double check that.

I know it was either a big player wide receiver for the New York Jets. Okay, and a 30-yard catch got hurt and knocked out. He hadn't made, like we had made a big deal about the fact that this dude wasn't getting preseason play. Yeah, he was. Then he comes back this week against New England of all teams and throws up 6 for 103 and 1. 82% of the snaps is a first round pick. And he had missed the four games with the ankle sprain. Now, Garrett Wilson had a down week.
