And Bucky. So Baker Mayfield, Emeka, Bucca, both starts of the week this week. Drake May keep playing him. It looks like Trayvion's going to get another chance. Yeah. Unfortunately, the Buccaneers are a tough team to run against. Now, you can throw to the running back on them, and I hope that they do, because that is, Trayvian Henderson is good at that. We might get an opportunity to see what happens around the goal line again. I would probably be starting Treveon Henderson. Yeah. RJ Harvey versus Trayon. I'd wait for Trayvon. I would play Henderson. I would play Henderson. Rashad White on the other side are Trayvon. That one's a little bit more interesting. Bucky Irving's not going to play. Rashad White has been the RB 30. I probably play Trayvion. I play Trayvon. And hopefully. Can we all, can we do this? Like maybe if we, maybe the problem with Trayvon is us. Okay. Probably. Maybe we haven't united. Yeah. Yeah.

56:08 ↗

and the right moment. I think this, you know what I mean? Yeah, like a tri force of power. Yeah, like a tri force of power. This is not a great, this is not a great perfect matchup and there's a lot of questions. It needs a tri force. We need a try force. We need to come together and say, we're all three, Trayvion Henderson and you should too. Oh, hands in the middle. Hands in the middle. Hendo one three. One, two, three. All right. Now we've got it taken care of. Okay, but here, so here's trade form in all dynasty leagues. Josh McDaniels.

56:36 ↗

I didn't want Papa Josh saying I was talking to him. You can't only run Henderson up the middle in this matchup and think that good things are going to happen. Not against the box. Well, we just tri-forced it. He's fine. Okay. We sent the message. Let him get to the edge. Use speed. I don't want to get you more excited than you already are after a triforce of Trayvion power, Mike. But there's a chance Kyle Williams looks good this week. There's a chance. I mean, Kashon Booty, probably not playing. Demario Douglas, we know what he is. Kyle Williams should get more routes and opportunities. He is a dynasty darling for you. Some opportunities, man. He's a crazy dart throw. I mean, it could work because Drake Mays Deep Ball. Oh, man, it looks so good. And that's really where Kyle Williams would shine is just using his speed. But I mean, on this team, I would start him third. You know, I would start Diggs and then Douglas before I would start Kyle Williams. And I totally understand that.

57:34 ↗

And I honestly, I think I feel like I start Tess Johnson over, maybe not over Diggs, but he is right there. I think Tess Johnson is. I would start Tess over Kyle Williams. I think Tis is pretty sneaky. I was talking about like Diggs. I think Tess is a good play. This is a game that's going to have points scored. And, you know, like I said about Baker, the matchup is good for the passing game. New Orleans is 1 and 8 and they take on the 5 and 4 Carolina Panthers. Nice matchup for Carolina to go to six and four potentially. Five and a half point home favorites. Overunder is 39 and a half. Not sure the over under on number of pumps in this one. It is Rico's world and we're just, we're just living in it. Now look, this is wild. We have our fantasy face off tomorrow. I wanted to do some Rico stuff. Like I felt really good about Rico on the rushing attempts category and I can't do it because of the quad. I know, man. The coin. The coin.

58:33 ↗

The quad groin. The quad groin. So I couldn't do it. Yeah. But it feels like the game plan here, you know, should be to run the ball 8,000 times. We did have the note. I don't know if we had fully said it. So Rico didn't practice on Wednesday. Coach Canales said the team, they're just being smart with him. So that doesn't sound like a man who's too concerned. Well, look, if he plays, you play Rico. Oh, absolutely. I mean, he should be a monster in this game. When you're favored by five and a half, you're at home. You're going to be presumably in the lead. And he has been one of the best running backs in the national football league. I mean, play Carolina's defense against Tyler Shuck. You love the rookie matchup. Alvin Kamara has been irrelevant. You need to probably bench him. I heard you guys talking, man. I'm not playing a guy that can, I mean, six for 14.

59:31 ↗

Yeah, it was as bad. This last week was as bad as it gets, and honestly, the last month has been terrible. I mean, single digits in six of seven games, you can do better. You can take a shot on a lot of other players that have upside and potential. Would you play someone like? Like Amari DiMarcato. I would play over Alvin Camara. How about Zach Charbonne? Yeah, touchdowns. I would play Camara. I mean, I get it. They get around the goal line. Seattle will have more touchdown opportunities. And when they do, They do give it to Charbonate. Camara's peak on the year's 13 points. It's over. It's over. Tyler Shuck doesn't help. I don't know. It sucks, but sometimes things suck and shuck. Is there a world where Chuba Hubbard has relevance in this week? Of course, because of the, only because of the injury, though. I posted on Twitter about Tet McMillan through eight. I loved your post. Eight weeks. It was, I worded it something like,

60:30 ↗

Tets on pace for about 1,000 yards, 3.8 touchdowns. You feel good. You feel bad. You feel me. I think he passes the eye test. And his utilization is it's true wide receiver 1 stuff. Like last week, 32% of the targets, 43% of the targets against Buffalo. But this is a, it's a small pie with. sub-average quarterback play right now. So he is the man, but until the passing game really improves, it's just going to be kind of meh. Do you think that he can get there with Bryce Young on this team in the future? Or do you think Bryce Young will be this forever thing holding him back? I think he'll get there with Bryce Young. I've brought it up in the past, but there, you know, Adam Fielding was a,

61:29 ↗

great veteran wide receiver who was better than, you know, rookie version of Tet McMillan. But Adam Thielen was great. Yeah, but they didn't have a, with, just briefly, though. And they didn't have a seven-game stretch. They didn't have a running game the way that they do now. The offensive philosophy. I mean, I just feel like we keep saying that and we don't see any volume. I totally get the concern, but a good strategy and fantasy football is just situations improve. And bet on good players. And Tet is good. You betting on Chris Olavi? I am. With Shaheed gone, the targets should. That's part of the optimism for Camara is, Andy, did you bring up? You're like, because we talked about how Shaheed got super targeted. And you're like, I wonder if he was getting showcased. Yeah, for the trade. For a trade. 100%. And then bang, there you go. He gets sent to Seattle. But the targets.

62:27 ↗

should be very consolidated to Olave, Joanne, and Camara. Yeah, I do worry a little. J.C. Horn is a very good cornerback that now that it's just Olave, it's like, I worry a little there. It makes me actually think Joanne Johnson is probably under thought about this week because the matchup for the Panthers, they haven't been good scheduled Justin against. They got to get a valet on the field here. The thing that concerns me about Olave is that. Not all targets are created equal. We've seen that this year. He's had four games in which he said 13, 14, 11, and 12 targets that he finished outside the top 30 at the position. So you do not have a guarantee of like this guy, maybe he's got you a floor. I'm making the decision right now in our league of record. Yeah, let me hear this. Between Chris Oliva and Darius Slayton.

63:18 ↗

Yeah, that's a complete. Those are perfect. Wow. Totally different players. Totally different. One I know is going to get the volume is the number one for his team. And the other is like, ah, you got kind of dark throws. I probably play Oliva. That's where I am right now. He's in my lineup. But I see how it's slayton. I want like I want to get slated in my lineup. And I don't have a lot of in there. 48 yard touchdown. No. He'll catch four eight yard regular passes. Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, not practicing on Thursday. So that just continues the Abuka, Taz, Otten. We didn't talk about Otten. Probably should have mentioned him. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's my bad. That's a whiff. Yeah, Kate Otten is definitely in play. And no James Cook update, huh? No, but we do have, uh-oh. We do have an update on them. Offensive coordinator from the Detroit Lions. We plan to get Isaac Tesla more involved in week 10, which is good because his involvement has been zero.

64:18 ↗

Mike's enormous stack of Isaac to slaughter rookie cards. Bro, you don't even know. He's just striving for this moment. That was fantasy forecast presented by prize picks.
