This is Jerry McKinnon running back San Francisco 49ers, and you're listening to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in Wednesday, September 23rd. You know it's going to be a great day when you can.

1:49 ↗

finally bust out a Jerich McKinnon player intro for the fantasy footballers that when did we get that? That has to be four years old. It feels like it. I mean, it must have been after he signed with. It was the first year he signed with them, got to interview him in person. That was a fun one. He was on the path to being a my guy, which is why I did the interview, and then that path was taken away due to injury. And he's back, baby.

2:17 ↗

That's right. That interview is somewhere, isn't it? Yeah. Somewhere. When he said, your boy's strong. It gets on the internet somewhere. Who knows? Welcome into the show. Heading into week three. Got a great quick question. Some buy sell, some news, some trending or ending, a Thursday night preview. This is too much, Brooks. It's just too much. No way. We have to cut something. No. Okay. We'll do it all. Those are strong orders from the judge. From the judge.

2:48 ↗

At the FF ballers on Twitter. Quick question of the day actually came in from my nine-year-old son, who has turned it up a notch when he comes to his fantasy acumen in year number two. I was walking through the house, and he said, hey, dad, hey, dad. If you had all the information from week one and week two before the draft, who's the number one pick in the draft? And I had to think about it a little bit.

3:18 ↗

I feel like it's pretty easy, but it's a two, to me, it's a two horse race. Yeah. And I can't imagine picking someone other than one of these two players. So I don't know if it differs from you. Mike, you know who yours is. So Andy, we'll, we'll kick the question right back to you since we know ours. Who's your number one pick? Well, his answer, the nine-year-olds, was Aaron Jones.

3:44 ↗

after because he's in it makes sense makes sense uh he's in for i think alvin camere it's and this is with the information of barclay's gone and mcalfrey's hurt for the next six weeks and um you know yeah i guess the answer could be zeke based on him being healthy and other two being out of the way but

4:01 ↗

Those are the two for me. It has to be between Zeke and Alvin Camara. As much as Christian McCaffrey is great and would still be a first rounder, you're missing, you know, if you were to draft from this point on, I would not take him over Zeke, who's been awesome, but he doesn't really give you those super ceiling games. And Camara, who's just been truly super Camerio to start the season. And I think I would go Alvin Camerra. I would go for the ceiling.

4:27 ↗

Yeah, well, first off, I mean, this is some unbelievable nepotism that has creeped into our show, allowing your son to steal our quick question of the day. I thought it was so good. I was like, man, that's a tough question. This is what we do at this point. You're two weeks in. You go, ah, what happened? I mean, it's easily Alvin Camara because as soon as Michael Thomas went down, who's the biggest benefactor you can play the game of which receiver is it going to be?

4:55 ↗

Right now it looks like Trey Kwan Smith, but we all knew it's, Alvin Kamera is the answer. He's going to get checked down to far more frequently because he's going to take most of those Michael Thomas targets throw in the fact that the first and second players off the board in drafts a month ago are now missing time. It easily becomes Alvin Kamer to me. I would add in a dash of how Latavius Murray looks as well, which is.

5:25 ↗

Bad. Really? Oh, man. I didn't think he looked bad. Oh, he, he looks to me like he is definitely a step slow. Really? That's just my eyeballs. Maybe it's because it's the one two punch and you're comparing him to Camara, where it's, it's not just like in general, spry. Yeah. Healthy. It's not just in general, you watch him and you say, this guy's washed. It's just every time they give the ball to him, you go, oh, Camara would have. Now.

5:54 ↗

gotten five more yards. We were a bit concerned about the regression, touchdown regression for Aaron Jones coming into the season. We were not putting him in that operational on. He sits as the number one fantasy running back through two weeks, which begs the question, are we disrespecting him again here, not even considering him in this question? I don't believe so because of the way that the points came.

6:21 ↗

That is not a sustainable model for fantasy football. Last year you're saying? No, last week. You know, the way where he went off of on the snaps that he got, on the opportunities that he received, he may have been disrespected in the draft process of when, you know, we got to the point of is Aaron Jones really. I feel like that's exactly what we said.

6:46 ↗

during the draft process and then you set it through two weeks. If you want to double down on it, then that's fine, but that's not the way I play the game. Yeah, I mean, I would not draft Aaron Jones even third. He's been phenomenal. He is the guy. I don't think the touchdown regression, you know, that we were championing is all that scary right now. Obviously, you're feeling good about Aaron Jones a couple weeks in. I've got some shares of Aaron Jones, but.

7:13 ↗

If you look at what he did last year, it's very similar, right? He had these monster weeks. But then he also, you know, really let you down. He wasn't consistent. And I think. How many weeks in a row do you need to believe? I think if we're two in. I think it's one. It's a matter of schedule as well. Saints, Falcons, Tampa. So here you go. If he does it against the Saints, that's a good run D. If he's three for three, then I would absolutely buy in because he's talented.

7:41 ↗

He's great. I just question if the Packers' offense is truly as great as we've seen, or if it's, you know, they've had a little bit easier matchups to start the season. Remember, last year, he had nine games where he was not an RB1, more than half of his games. Oh, I remember. He's just had an impressive start, and he's, he doesn't get the credit he deserves as being one of the top.

8:05 ↗

five in pass catching. He is a dynamic wide receiver on the outside. The routes that Rogers throws to Aaron Jones are not the same type of routes that other receivers get. He is downfield. He is 50-50-balling DBs or I guess linebackers. I think he's better than Camara. But that's the comp. Like as a player, if you were to put Aaron Jones on the New Orleans Saints, I trust the Saints offense and Sean Peyton and Drew Brees a little bit more.

8:34 ↗

As a player, he's fantastic. I just don't know if I could trust the Packers' offense. He had 26 opportunities, and he played on 48% of the offensive snaps. Like, that's a number that's not going to happen. Okay. So you would go Alvin Kamara. Jason, you'd go Zeke. No, I would go Alvin Kamara. It was between those two, but I would go Kamara. Okay. Let's do some buy-sell. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction.

9:11 ↗

All right, I saw a little glimmer in Jason's eye, and that was the glimmer of perfection. Last week in Bicel, he actually went three for three. It was a close one. We all sold Naim Hines with 13 fantasy points. We all sold... We should have sold one. One fantasy points. Yeah. We sold Keenan Allen as a top 20 wide receiver. He ended up close, but he was the wide receiver 23. And we all did that.

9:41 ↗

together. And then Mark Ingram, Mike and I sold him as a top 20 running back. Jason bought it. Oh, I crushed it. He finished at RB19. Snuck it in there with a 30-yard touchdown on fourth and one. Jason said he was going to get in the end zone. That was the reason he took it. All right, buy yourself for week three. James Connor is a top 15 running back against Houston. Buy. I am definitely going to buy because I had James Connor.

10:10 ↗

in as my start of the week for, I'm guessing, one and a half seconds. I had him in the dock, and I was like, I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to put my start of the week on James Connor's health. But if I've got to buy or sell, here's where I can take him. I think he's healthy. He's clearly the guy. Benny Snell fumbled the ball and was, was done. Juju Smith. Say, we have an update from the fantasy footballers inside source, which we are basing all of our.

10:37 ↗

acumened projections upon the Sleeper Bowl, the Celebrity League we are in with Juju. Juju Smith-Schuster this morning dropped Benny Snell. He's out. So I'm out on Benny Snell. No, no, no. You guys are, you guys are misinterpreting that data. Oh, are we? Yes. Please enlighten us. Because I believe Juju signed Benny Snell after week one. And we viewed that as a sign that was good for Benny Snell. Yes.

11:07 ↗

What was the result of that intelligence? Negative fantasy points. Negative fantasy points. Therefore, ipso facto, him dropping Benny Snail's about to blow it up. We got an upside down situation? We got an upside down situation. Oh, man. You want to know what this tells me, all jokes aside, is that, you know, I don't think Juju picked him up. He thought he would be a possible good pickup. And he's in there. Like, I think we know a lot.

11:35 ↗

And they don't know as much as we don't know sometimes. I am going to sell. Top 15 is too high for me. I think he is in that 15 to 20 range. He'll put up the Ingram-like stat line, but I think that'll be outside the top 15. So I will sell it. Mike? I'm going to buy. Okay. David Johnson, same game. Ten fantasy points at Pittsburgh. That is not a difficult line to hit. He can do it in the passing game. I'm going to buy it. I will sell this line. I think that it will be.

12:05 ↗

More difficult in the matchup. I mean, Pittsburgh right now, Sequin did not hit it in week one. 9.6. He was under. And Melvin Gordon did. He had 15.4 points, but it took a really perfect receiving touchdown. I'm just going to guess it doesn't go Houston's way this game. Mike? I'm going to sell. Oh, man, I've got a chance to really. You do? Yeah, you can pick up some points here.

12:31 ↗

Adam Thielen is a top 10 wide receiver against Tennessee through two weeks. He is the wide receiver 10. I'm going to sell it. And I will buy. Looks like we are going to be oppositesies here. Oh, my. I think in general most weeks, Adam Thielen is going to be a top 10 wide receiver. So the Tennessee defense is good, not great. They don't scare me.

12:56 ↗

You know, it scares me as the Minnesota Vikings offense, and that is exactly why I'm selling. The Minnesota football team is terrifying. Did they lose their handle? Yeah, they got rid. I'm just, I'm saying I'm encapsulating all of them. There is not a good situation going on. They want to preserve the Vikings brand. So this year, they're going the Minnesota football team. Oh, no. Top, top 10, you got to. And this just in, breaking news, the.

13:24 ↗

Minnesota has dropped the front part of the name. They are just football team. They would not like to be associated. They're now just going by dudes. I really do wish this was top 12. Top 10 is... Yeah, I'm selling. That's sketchy. Oh, I don't like my buy. I'll stick to it, but... All right, that was buy yourself from Pristine Auction. Use the code ballers at pristineauction.com.
