November 5 activates the wrong Back to the Future day
A host treats November 5 as Back to the Future Day, gets corrected that October 21 celebrates Marty's trip to the future, then salvages the date because Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor on November 5, 1955.
moment
Jason is fifty minutes late for a flying two-story shed
The hosts expose Jason's lateness as Arizona's post-time-change hour becoming '50 minutes earlier,' then reveal the actual interruption: his fully built shed was too large for the gate and had to fly over the wall by crane. The shed becomes Dorothy's spinning house, a forbidden children's ride, a two-bedroom full-bath two-story home, and a place that needs witch legs beneath it.
moment
A Nico update receives a personal shut-up order
An unidentified host hears DeMeco Ryans say Nico Collins will continue to be evaluated and repeatedly orders him to shut up, clarifying that Andy is not the target. The reason follows: the host just traded for Nico and needs him badly.
moment
The Borgogon and Deucers run two invisible live fact checks
The hosts ask 'Kyle or Deucers' to verify whether Joe Flacco is the rest-of-season starter; the named source and qualified quote arrive in the next paragraph. Later they explicitly ask Kyle/The Borgogon for T. Higgins with-and-without splits, and the production comparison arrives immediately. Video never cuts away from the three hosts.
moment
Mike headlines Waiver Wire in two helmets
The Waiver Wire handoff mentions a feared spotlight but never displays one. The actual published bumper instead opens a Gridiron Gazette: Ballers Edition newspaper with Mike in a red-and-blue helmet, then shows Mike in a black jacket and bright green helmet beside the NFL Sunday Ticket logo.
moment
Fifty Five restores the rank the transcript lost
While the hosts recount Elijah Moore's 104-target season, the transcript ends the ranking phrase at 'wide receiver.' Published video supplies the missing number with the recurring FIFTY FIVE cue: both tilted title cards cover the split screen and a black-and-white Mike portrait appears at lower left.
moment
DJ Moore becomes a paid pissy-pants problem
The hosts call DJ Moore a 'pissy pants,' argue that frustration might be allowed if he worked pro bono but not after being paid, note that the Bears can hate the coach without becoming pissy pants, and mutate the label into 'pissy pancers.'
moment
Andy walks Jason into the Sticky Gesicki mousetrap
Sticky Gesicki begins with blind snap-count guesses before the answer lands at 36 percent and the hosts demand that the tape be scrubbed. Andy lays out 'sometimes you can't be picky'; Jason completes 'you can't be picky when you got to get sticky,' imagines Andy's cheese trap snapping his neck, thanks Andy for murdering him, and proposes walking him into bad jokes as a recurring thing. Jason later adds 'used to be icky, but now they're getting sicky' and calls for applause before boos.
moment
Terms and embargoes become a big-ocean contract
The Sunday Ticket disclaimer says terms and embargoes apply, and the desk decides embargoes must mean shipping restrictions. Asked for a definition, a host confidently calls an embargo 'a contractual issue in the ocean,' followed by the clarifier 'big, big ocean.'
moment
Full Stream Ahead puts all three hosts on a toy train
The Full Stream Ahead cue launches the recurring published bumper: photographic cutouts of Andy, Jason, and Mike ride a small red-and-black train across a green field, then the live desk returns beneath a Full Stream Ahead monitor graphic.
summary
Episode notes
Complete review of all 43 storyboard sheets plus targeted direct-video frames shows Mike, Andy, and Jason as the only live people: Mike sits left in a black-and-teal cap and white hoodie, Andy center in a black cap and glasses, and Jason right in navy. Jay Griz, a bear, a fourth host, a producer-camera cut, the Wheel, a punishment, Listener League canon, Megalabowl canon, and League of Record business are absent. November 5 first becomes a Back to the Future correction: October 21 marks the future trip, but November 5, 1955 is the flux-capacitor invention date. Jason is then roasted for arriving '50 minutes earlier' after Arizona's time change and for the real interruption: a fully built shed too large for his gate had to fly over the wall by crane. It becomes Dorothy's spinning house, a forbidden children's ride, a two-bedroom full-bath two-story home, and a place needing witch legs. The published video never shows Jason's private crane photo or shed. A Nico Collins update becomes personal panic when an unidentified host orders DeMeco Ryans to shut up, exempts Andy, and admits he just traded for Nico. Crew work is clearer: the hosts ask 'Kyle or Deucers' to verify a Joe Flacco report and receive a sourced quote in the next paragraph; later they ask Kyle—The Borgogon—for T. Higgins splits and immediately receive the comparison. Video remains on the hosts, so no producer or answering voice can be identified safely. The Waiver Wire transition mentions a spotlight but instead runs a real Gridiron Gazette bumper: helmeted Mike appears on a newspaper, then in a black jacket and green helmet beside Sunday Ticket. During Elijah Moore talk, the transcript drops a numerical rank, but video supplies the recurring FIFTY/FIVE cards and a monochrome Mike portrait. DJ Moore becomes a paid 'pissy pants,' then 'pissy pancers.' The richest chain belongs to Sticky Gesicki: 88- and 60-percent guesses crash into a 36-percent snap count and demands to scrub the tape. Andy baits Jason with 'picky'; Jason completes 'can't be picky when you got to get sticky,' imagines Andy's cheese trap snapping his neck, thanks Andy for murdering him, and says walking him into bad jokes should become a thing. Jason later adds 'used to be icky, but now they're getting sicky' and requests applause before boos. Finally, 'terms and embargoes' becomes shipping language and an embargo becomes a contractual problem in a 'big, big ocean.' The same paragraph launches the published Full Stream Ahead bumper, where photo cutouts of all three hosts ride a toy train.
Hey, this is Austin Eccler, and you're listening to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast. To the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Tuesday, November 5th, 2024. The Fantasy Footballers, happy to be with you on this fine day. Good morning. Good evening. Good afternoon.
November 5th was actually the, I believe that's the day that Marty went back to 1955. Is it really? I think it was November 5th. What? I thought it was in October. No. Back to the Future Day? Yeah. Take a look. Take the look. Back to the Future Day. I'm usually going to side with Mike on these things. Back to the Future Day is celebrated on October 21st. No, no, no, no. Not what day is it celebrated. I want to know the day that Marty. Hold on to commemorate the day Marty travel to the future. Okay. On November 5th, 1955, Dr. Emmett Brown invented the flux capacitor making time travel possible. Well, on November 5th, 2024, we had the NFL trade deadline. Thanks, Jason. Moves are already happening. Big time moves. Guys that, you know, people liked in college. It's the NFL. What is the actual time today when that will be over with? 4 p.m. Eastern. Thank you. You're welcome.
So we've got a few hours left. We've got Monday night football to talk about difference makers on the show today, news, including the trades thus far, and the waiver wire and the waiver wire. So, oh, and full stream ahead. Big show. So much to talk about Mr. Moore. Yeah, it's going to be great. We also have. Can I just, yeah. Do you mind sharing why you were late today? No, I don't mind. I mean, nobody knew I was late today until you just announced it. Well, we, we had the benefit on Sunday that the time switch happened. And Arizona doesn't have. Arizona does that right. Yeah. I mean, we don't, just about that. We don't have daylight savings time. And so for all of, you know, the East coasters, like we're an hour earlier than we used to be. Or in this case, 50 minutes earlier. Because Jason Moore.
bought a shed for his house in the most unusual way. Well, some people buy, here's some of the ways you buy sheds. You pay a company to come and build the shed on your property. You can go purchase a shed kit and build it yourself. You're not going to do that on your own property or. Or you can have a shed flown in by a crane. So Jason, Jason sends a picture. Says he's coming in hot today. It's a picture of a crane and you've got. i mean you were you there for the whole delivery yeah yeah there was a house it was it was crazy it was full wizard of oz i mean i'm seeing this thing and it's like dorothy's house just was just spinning just did your kids go on a ride in it no danger uh they don't let you do that no but uh it was it was wild yeah that we we needed a shed quickly this was a pre-built shed and then
It was too big for our gate. It's because it's a two bedroom full bath, right? Double deck or two story, you know. You know, a shed. Some people call it a house. And so they had to bring a crane to get it over the wall, which it's just, it's great. Like, watching it happen, I was like, human beings can do the craziest stuff. I, like, I'm literally watching this very large piece of. furniture out a little tiny house just fly through the air on a crane that is and it worked down yeah yeah it's perfectly you got you got a fully built we've got a shed now today is there a is there a witch underneath it I hope so I should put some legs out well yeah there you go congratulations it was thank you for the congratulations it did get my mind off of last night's Monday night football game which was important for me well I mean we could tell Jason stories all day because we got pictures of Jason last night trying to deal with
Like you needed, going into the night, you needed a miracle. Yes, I know. I needed a miracle. Jason was down five points with the Kansas City D and I had Kate Awesome. Kate Awesome. Kate Awesome. I knew I was going to lose. Who was continually awesome. Eight for 77 and a touchdown. But watching it happen. Did you end up sticking with it? Yeah, of course. It's my job. I watched, but I wouldn't have watched it. Of course. My butt. I mean, I did. I might have gone out to the, you know, to chill out outside, but I watched it on my phone. So what were your takeaways from the game? The Chiefs managed to win yet again, 14 receptions on 16 targets for Travis Kelsey. Yep. The, I mean, the big takeaway, well, like Kate Otten, I think is one of like this.
This version of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kate Otten, is going to be so unbelievably useful for fantasy football. The other one is just what do we make of DeAndre Hopkins, eight for 86, two touchdowns. It was basically a goal line slants, if I'm remembering it correct. A true circus catch into heavy coverage that fell right into Hopkins hands, and he was. I feel like we've seen that a few times over the past, but they haven't had a player who could actually bring that in, and Hopkins can. So it's do you, are you upgrading Hopkins after that performance? Are you sticking with the- I'm 100% upgrading. I think he is a weekly must-start player going forward. And the reason why is because we saw this with Rushie Rice. Rushie Rice was in the role that is the primary wide receiver target and-
Patrick Mahomes can find a way to get, you know, you get a little bit of space. He can get you the ball. When you've got great hands like Hopkins, he's going to catch the ball. That triple coverage deep down the field throw is just DeAndre Hopkins has DeAndre Hopkins hands. He's great. And then you saw when Rushie Rice unfortunately got injured, they brought back Juju Smith Schuster. And he was eight targets seven for 130 and was a wide receiver won for that week. And then he got injured. Now they've got Hopkins. They need him. And so I do think he's going to be the primary wide receiver option here. And that's an important role. I got a lot of flack for my initial thought that he'd be like around wide receiver 16 with Patrick Mahomes coming over. Obviously they have to get him more acclimated. The beginnings of that were last night. This came down to also what you fundamentally believed Xavier Worthy was capable of, which I don't think he's a very well-rounded wide receiver at this juncture of his career. He is good.
on a gadget play. Again, McCall Hardman is so much worse than almost every player in the National Football League, but regularly utilized with Kansas City. They play to a player's strengths. Worthy had a couple of opportunities last night. He should have had a humongous touchdown. But that's exactly the point. Yeah, that is literally why I didn't believe in Xavier Worthy is because his should haves won't be good enough. which is why they went and got DeAndre Hopkins. That play was one where it really showed me the difference between, you know, really, really, really good wide receivers and the great wide receivers. And your Jags, who I realized that Xavier Worthy has still new to the NFL. Yes, he's new to the NFL and he still has elite, you know, world-class speed, literally the fastest 40 time ever.
But there was no reason. There was no reason the defender did not cause. The ball did not cause. There was no reason for him to go down the sideline and run out of bounds before he caught it and not know where the boundary is other than just, you know, as a mental mistake. We're nine weeks in, right? They haven't had their by week. 19 for 235 is the total in nine weeks for Xavier Worthy. They have had their by week. Kansas City? Yeah, they had it in week six. Okay, so 19 for 235 and eight games for Xavier Worthy. When you look at the what the combo of receivers there, 39 targets for Worthy, 32 targets for Adonai Mitchell. The teammates, Worthy has 235 yards, Mitchell 140. And then what do you do with Patrick Mahomes? Hey, we had a QB4 on the week is what I'm seeing in a half point.
four-point quarterback scoring format threw the ball 44 times. That was the first time throwing the ball over 40 times this year. 290, three touchdowns. Hopkins looks like he still has some juice. I mean, is this. And Kelsey was great, and this is a Baker thing. Yeah, I agree. This is Baker and the offense for Tampa Bay on the road going out there and delivering offensive. um effectiveness they looked so good i mean the the the fact that you have lost chris gawin and mike evans baker is like he obviously is not going to be in the MVP running uh yeah you can't their four and that award goes to you know what team is the best whose quarterback is that but he is absolutely worthy of being the most valuable player in the NFL he is playing outstanding football piecing it together they
You could argue them maybe should have won this game. I mean, they forced overtime. I think the majority of our age people wanted them to go for two when they got down there at the end of the game. And then they did stop them to force overtime. So if they had gone for two and got it, that's game over. Yeah, I mean, I don't blame them either way. I don't care about that call. My point is they took Kansas City to the limit with injuries. And I agree with you, Mahomes was great. because Baker made him have to be great. They played a good portion of this game from behind. It kind of went back and forth. So I'm just really impressed by Tampa Bay even in the loss. 23 touchdowns leads the NFL for Baker Mayfield. He's playing great. He's playing as well as I've ever seen him play. And so, you know, we're going to get into some things about that offense. Kate Otten right now, when you look at that, I'm going to read you a name.
Do tell me whether you'd rather have them rest of season over a KDoughton. Kiddle? No, kiddle. Yeah. Okay, right. Bowers. Bowers. Okay. McBride? I would take McBride. I would too. That's it. Yeah. I mean, Kelsey, Kelsey. Yeah, I'm still going to take Kelsey. The rest of season is hard of like when is Mike Evans back and. Right now, Kate Otten is sitting as the tight-in four in points per game, but behind the three names that you guys said, you'd take ahead. I think tight-in four or five is... So, I mean, it's just... He's in that next category with Evan Ingram and Djoku, where, you know, they have... The team around them has caused them to be so important to their role. And Kate Aughton has really bawled out. He's looked great. He's in sync with...
Baker. And if you have to look at those three, Evan Ingraham, David Najoku, and Kate Otton, it's hard to not just go recency bias to take Kate Aten because he's the best, but I think I do. You know, he's been getting it done. It's not just like he is rising to the occasion. Like we see plenty of guys. We're like, oh, here's the opportunity. And then they just fall on their face because they can't do it. And they're running the offense through him. I mean, you look at a seven game sample for a K. So the first two weeks, not involved.
Last seven games on pace for 141 targets, 105 receptions, over 1,000 yards, and 10 touchdown. And it, Baker. That's what I was going to say. You want Baker or Trevor Lawrence or James Winston? Yeah, that's easy right now. All right. Let's go ahead and turn the page here from the Monday night football game. It's a little bit of a shame that the Buccaneers couldn't get it done just for their season and what they're playing for. The trajectory, they've had some close games this year, and they're definitely missing those whiteouts, but impressive performance by Baker. Welcome to Difference Makers, presented by I'm's pet food. On today's difference makers, we're keeping it simple because, look, it's time to take out some insurance policies. I've seen way too many teams out there riding dirty at this point of the season. Look, at the beginning,
Of this season, we talk about, it's pretty rare that we draft these insurance running backs. This year it was like, okay, I'll take like Blake Corr because I know, and then it turned into Jordan Mason once the news all eventually fell out. But you just, you can't be 100% sure who the backup will be. You can't be sure that if they get the opportunity, they will be able to handle the situation. But we're at the point now, you have to have the insurance running backs. I picked up Ray Davis this weekend. Like, if you have James Cook and you're riding without Ray Davis, I think that's insane at this point. Which is crazy that you were able to pick him up. But it's just like, I'm not talking about the production of Ray Davis this weekend. I'm talking about Ray Davis has shown the Buffalo Bills multiple times that if James Cook goes down, Ray Davis is going to be great. So we just want to remind people of this. This is the time that you need to be picking these guys up.
And if there is a tiebreaker where you're looking for, well, you know, who do I ensure besides my own backups? It's looking at the strength of schedule. Brail and Allen, this one is, we've talked about this just over and over. The Jets, the running back schedule for them is so great. It's great for Brees Hall, but you need to have Braylen Allen on a team because if Brace Hall misses time, Braylin Allen will go right into the role and he will succeed. immediately. They do not have a single difficult matchup the rest of the season for running backs. Like they don't have, it's not like, oh, they've got a good three weeks stretch or their playoff stretch is good. Everything's good. It is completely phenomenal from here till the end of the season. And then the playoffs are even better than the next few weeks, but there's no tough matchup. So if Brees goes down, Braylon Allen will be a league. He'll be a true difference maker. And then like,
Blake Corum is right in there. The schedule is quite good for the Rams. They do have a week 12 matchup against Philly. And then 16 is against the Jets, which is pretty close to a neutral matchup for running backs at this point. But the way that Kyron is being used, Blake Corum needs to be on rostered. If I have Kyron, it's Blake Corum is a priority ad this week, especially you're going to hear us go through the names. There's not a ton of plug and play options right now who aren't heavily rostered. So you got to prioritize those backups. And then I wanted to have the conversation about the Arizona Cardinals because James Connor is the motor of this offense. But would you take the shot on, this is where insurance can be a little bit difficult? Would you go with Trey Benson or would you go with Demarcato? I made this decision. I mean, I had the choice of them. And you have Connor.
I have Connor and I'm certainly on the Trey Benson side of this equation. Okay. And I was really impressed with Trey Benson in this last week's game because he got some more opportunities. He had some nice runs and he scored. Demarcato will be the change of pace to Benson. But I want the goal line opportunities. When this team moves the football inside the 10, those are going to go to Trey Benson, I believe. And so that's the side that I lean on. I'm looking, you know, to. Demarcato is a better week-to-week random shot right now in a committee, but Benson would be the takeover guy to me. I agree. I think Amari DiMarcato, he has a role, and I think his role doesn't change if Connor goes down. He stays in that role that he has been on the field for, and then Trey Benson kind of moves into that Connor role. But rest of season.
for running backs. The Jets, the third best scheduled, the Cardinals are fourth, the Falcons are fifth, and the Rams are sixth. Well, yeah, what do you do if you need to trade for one? Like Tyler Alger is probably on a roster. Braylon Allen might be on a roster. If you have Breece Hall and you have Bijon, are you going out and making the, you know, maybe it's a pick trade, maybe it's a swap of bench players, but you're going out to actively pursue that? I personally, I'm not trading a starter. from my lineup to go get the backup. But I'm going to try and trade some bench guys and help that other team get better and take on the guy that's only good should my running back miss time. Let me throw two names out here. These are guys that have been kind of waiver wire or at least bench players who kind of now they're going to be talked about like, oh, you know, we should we should be starting them. Would you trade if you are, let's say you're the Brees Hall manager, Brayland Islands across the pond,
and you can trade either Quentin Johnston or Jacoby Myers. Those are players that can, they can start. I would personally do that. Okay. Yeah, you are locking down a top five or six running back schedule in a starting spot when you have the insurance for those particular guys. That's part of the equation here. It's not just, you know, no matter who you have, you go get them. It's also locking down. I have a starter against a great, with a great schedule. We're at the time of the, in your league, like you know there are two or three teams of the league. You're definitely going to the playoffs. You should be looking at that right now. I'm not saying shift your entire thing. We have a playoff primer next week to talk about guys that we want to add for those particular schedules. But it's the.
The future proofing of your team. You need to start doing it now. All right. That was difference makers presented by IIMS pet food. When you choose IMS, you can see the difference in your pet with your own eyes. Healthy energy in five days. Healthy digestion in 10 days and healthy skin and coat in just 25 days. Feed Ims and see a visible difference. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance. The Cowboys. Dak Prescott is expected to miss several weeks with his hamstring strain, got an MRI, now expected to be placed on injured reserve. Cooper Rush, presumably taking over at quarterback. But don't worry. CDLAM also dealing with a week-to-week AC joint sprain expected to have a chance to play. But don't worry.
They found their solution. They sure did. I mean, this was even teased. You know, Jerry was coming out saying like, don't worry, we are trading for a wide receiver that we really like. And they went and paid up for Jonathan Mingo. They did. I know the contract's not the same, but they paid more to get Jonathan Mingo than they received for Amari Cooper. That is factual information. I am not excited by this move. I am not endorsing Jonathan Mingo. But I do think that some franchises just have no idea what they're doing. Maybe the Carolina Panthers drafted a good player, perhaps. And the coaching staff and everything around there just ruined Jonathan Mingo. So I'm saying, I'm not just throwing. Terrorist Marshall believes. I'm not just throwing this.
information into the garbage and just completely writing off Jonathan Mingo. I'm going to leave a small window open to say maybe a change of scenery can fix things for him. The complication here is that he is currently just a guy. In an offense where you have a bunch of other just a guys outside of C.D. Lamb, Turpin, Tolbert. You know, this is who you're throwing the football to. Hasn't been part of the offense. Doesn't have his quarterback. And for fantasy purposes, this means nothing. Like when Jerry Jones was teasing this move, I'm like, ooh, maybe it'll be something that helps fantasy. This doesn't help that. You know, this doesn't help. I mean, he's not playing. So this doesn't help your fantasy situation at all. It just, you know, it's bewildering to me to make a move, losing a fourth rounder in the situation you're in. I guess I'm happy they think they can still win. That matters to me. I want C.D. Lamb.
I don't know what kind of contract incentives he has. I hope he has some so he can go out there and play or wants to, you know, keep his stat line rocking because he can still be productive with Cooper Rush because who else are you going to throw the ball to? I think that I'm speaking, I guess, more for Dynasty of just like, it's possible that Mingo was just thrown onto a waiver wire or if you've been stashing him. Maybe there's a little bit of hope. These situations have to be one in a million for the door to work out. From a dynasty perspective, if I had Mingo, I would be so thrilled right now. To try and trade him. To try to get a second. If I could go fine. You're not getting a second. No, there's a cowboy fan in every league that you could be like a second rounder for the future. I mean, you know, look at what Brandon Cooks did. You can spin that narrative. I don't think it's going to amount to anything. My point is if I could get anything for Mingo, I would do it. The bears have.
traded away the unused, yet seemingly somewhat talented. Khalil Herbert, he heads to Cincinnati to join the Bengals. Zach Moss, going to miss the remainder of the regular season and maybe beyond. The quote was... With a neck injury. The quote on Zach Moss was at least the rest of the year. That was not great. What is your reaction to this news? Chase Brown has been good. Obviously, they wanted to add depth, but do you, like, would you consider Herbert to be a... cursory, what happens at? Yeah, I mean, he's, I think he's now the backup running back here. You saw 100% of carries go to Chase Brown last week. They needed it. This is just a smart move for everyone. Khalil Herbert wasn't playing hardly. It was like 5% of snaps for the Bears. He's a good player. Seventh rounder? Yeah, it costs you nothing. I think it's a win, win, win for everybody. I don't think Khalil Herbert comes in and really hurts Chase Brown. But I do.
You know, we're talking about insurance policies here. Yeah, I would, if I had Chase Brown, I would pick up Khalil Herbert. 100%. I mean, Kalil Herbert on today's episode, like, sometimes you're, you're picking up these insurance backs when you aren't the manager of that running back. You know, if Braylin Allen's out there, I'm going to pick them up no matter what. Right. Kalil Herbert, not to that degree. But still, he's one injury away from being a relevant player. Adam Schaefter reporting that Christian McCaffrey is expected to play football in week 10. Return to practice on Monday as the team officially opened up his 21-day window. All the two-and-seven teams with Christian McCaffrey rejoicing? No, I mean, what does this mean for Jordan Mason in his roster spot in fantasy and his role? Like, are you shopping into the McCaffrey manager? Are you holding in the same vein that we're talking about these other insurance backs? Only he's better. I feel like he is as good an insurance back as exists, not to mention you have the.
added benefit of the fact that you, the starter is currently injured. And we're expecting to be back. I do think he will be back. But when you are injured and you come back, oftentimes you re-aggravate an injury. Now, they took their time here. My expectation, I think Christian McCaffrey comes back and has his role. I do. I don't think this is going to be some 50-50 timeshare where Jordan Mason has earned enough. And Jordan Mason's dealing with an injury of his own as well. I think they're going to pivot right to McCaffrey and just give him the workload. So TBD on that, but Jordan Mason would be someone that certainly you're not dropping to the waiver wire at all because Christian McCaffrey is coming back. If you want to try to get something for him from the McCaffrey manager, try. Make sure it's worth it. Okay. Yeah, I was wondering if you'd consider him a flex play still. I do not know. There's no chance I put Mason into the lineup this week. I want to see.
how much work he gets. Because if it is like 60, 40, or 50-50. If it's 50-50, I don't think you want to play Mason. And if it's 50-50, I think you do want to play Christian McCaffrey. AJ Brown is not expected to miss a significant amount of time. Doesn't mean he won't miss sometime. This reminds me of DK Metcalf like crazy. DK Metcalf, it was great news. He did not tear his ACL. It's fine. He's going to push to play. He's not going to miss much time. Well, he's missed two weeks. He's still pushing. They're on by. We're hoping he's back next week.
Yeah, not missing significant amount of time to me means missing time. Domingo Ryan's head coach at the Texan says they will, quote, continue to evaluate Nico Collins hamstring through the week. Shut up. Shut up. Shut your mouth. I'm not talking you, Andy. I'm talking to Domingo Ryans. I don't. Sunday night game against Detroit. I don't like this. Shut up. We were on pace. We were tracking for week 10. We didn't really have any news. Shut your stupid pace. No, we did. We had reports that were like, hey, Nico Collins is, he looks like he's going to be back week 10. Yeah. Yeah, they were saying, yeah. Oh, I saw multiple reports of that. And they seem like fake news. The thing is about this report is like saying that they're going to continue to evaluate, evaluate Nico Collins is not necessarily bad. No. This isn't news. We shouldn't even be reporting it. But it scares me.
