I was right there with you, Mike. It just came out? Yeah. That was from me? Yeah, you just, you, I inspired that. Yeah, you drew it out. I imagine that in sync with Mike, millions of people were also being drawn to that can't be associated with the intro. Too late. What is that sound?

Is that Ricky Seals Jones? No, that's Richard Nixon. Oh. I thought it was one of those World of Warcraft. Oh, the Merlock? The Merlock. Well, if you're still with us, welcome in the fantasy footballers, Andy Mike and Jason. Wednesday, October 20th. So glad to have you with us by Apocalypse Begins, waiver wires going through. Oh, man. Man, I'm some of the people I have at the bottom of my waiver list today.

You're embarrassed? Oh, I'm embarrassed. David Johnson on there. I mean, some of these players don't belong on your team. I'm sitting here with dilemmas like Amun Ross St. Brown versus Donovan People's Jones. Oh, I'm cool with both those guys. Yeah, I know. Those are like the top of the mountain. Okay.

We are on Spotify Green Room this afternoon. Speaking of the top of the mountain on waivers, and I know that this show is a little too late. You were going to Green Room. Yeah, I mean, is. Speaking about what you weren't talking about. Anybody else worried about Dearness Johnson? I have continually lowered my bid on him because. One week. For sure. Yeah, it seems like one week. And while he has his opportunity, he does not have his starting quarterback.

He does not have his probably his left tackle, his right tackle. The wide receivers could be missed. Like, this could just be a real, real bad game. This is like Kareem Hart wasn't good last week before the injury. And now Dearness Johnson is. Are you trying to preview the Thursday night preview? It's a teaser. Yeah. I mean, you know exactly what he's doing, Andy.

He's trying to convince us to lower our- Got to drive down that price. I don't have much money. By the time we get to Thursday night, preview waivers will have already run. Yes. Yeah. And you're not tricking me. Oh, my gosh. If that was true, if you're really trying to use this show to drive down the bids for you on this show. There is no, there is no more than 5% of what I said that was targeted there.

But there was exactly 5%. I got to tell you, guys, this dude's a bus this week. You should lower your bid. Anybody else thinking about bidding nothing on him? And then 20 minutes later, I've really changed my opinion to Ernest Johnson.

Very excited. Smash start. I got him. I think Saboteur, Jason Saboteur. I think halfway through your preview of the preview, you did break news to a lot of people, which is Baker Mayfield's not going to play this week. It's going to be Case Keenom extraordinaire on Thursday night against Teddy Bridgewater in a battle for the ages. Look, for a backup quarterback could be way worse than Case Keenum. 100%. Way worse. He is a, he is a.

former starting quarterback that was... That's true. It's true. Well, I mean, a lot of the backups, you know, you look at most teams and their backups have only accidentally started. They've never been signed to be a starter of a team. And Case Keenham has done that, had success, made the playoffs. I don't view this. Like, ironically, I'm talking about, oh, there's not going to have a started quarterback. But the injured version of Baker we've been seeing could be worse than the...

Current version of Case Keenham healthy. There are two categories of backup quarterbacks, ones that throw down field and ones that don't. Case Keenom's in the category that is willing to throw down field, which is great. And he doesn't have Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt to where the entire offense can run through one player. So he may get a chance to air it out a little bit, and the Broncos might put him in that position. Tonight, we'll see. I was mentioning we're on Spotify Green Room, 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Eastern. Green Room is a live audio app from Spotify. It's free. You can download it. Follow the...

fantasy footballers. It's super fun. Yeah, it's a good time. It's a good time. By then we'll know all the waiver fallout and Jason can give you just unadulterated true advice. Buy sell time. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction. Look, if I'm being honest, if I'm being honest, there have been, I can count them on one hand, but there have been a handful of times when we're flipping on this recording light.

and I'm trying to figure out how much to say about a situation. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Because I don't want to tip my hand to you to. And I think that that, I want to translate that into why this show is magical because we're in it with you, but we may just totally ruin you because of our biases. Buy yourself, A.J. Brown, a top 24 wide out. We did that one last week. Jason and Mike bought it. Where did he finish? He made it in. 22. Yeah.

That's called a cover. Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, you win. Chase Edmonds, we all sold him as a top 24 against Cleveland. Adam Thielen top 24. We all sold that and he. Whoops. Was the wide receiver three. Buy or sell by Apocalypse Edition for week seven. Josh Jacobs against Philadelphia. Is he a top 10 running back? He's not been one thus far this year and faces the Eagles. Top 10 this week. We know there are a lot of players out.

He won't have to compete with Nashi Harris for the top 10. Man, that is really, really tough. I almost made him my start of the week this week. So I am pro Josh Jacobs. I think the line is difficult, but I am going to buy this. I think the matchup against Philly is good. And he.

He's healthy right now. I mean, 16 carries last week. There's not a lot of fears that I have about, you know, over the previous several weeks, it always seemed like he was struggling with something. I think he's a great play this week. And I would assume that the Raiders come in and win this game. And if that's the case, the history says Josh Jacobs, when they win, has a good game. Yeah, and 17 Raider wins. He has 20 touchdowns and 17 Raider losses. He has three. I will sell it.

I'm kind of feeling out this new Raiders offense without John Gruden right now. You saw the best game in the Raider career for Kenyon Drake last week, two touchdowns. You saw. Yeah, and like, what, eight opportunities or something? Yeah, but he looked. He was better utilized on those plays. And then you had Jaylen Richard in the mix. So I think he has a good week. I'm not going to give him the top 10. Mike, what are you doing? I'm going to sell it. And you're still playing Josh Jacobs. It's fine. But do we have any concern here?

looking at his box score. So yards per carry is certainly not everything. But Josh Jacobs is averaging 3.2 yards per carry and his longest run of the season is 15 yards. And that was back in week one, right? Yeah, I mean, I don't think that he has set the world on fire, but.

I'm still not, I'm not concerned. You know, you've got stretches like this. You see Joe Mixen have bad game, bad game, and then you just know he's a good running back. He's getting opportunity. You've got to start him, and then he comes out as a great game. That's how I view Josh Jacobs. I'm not concerned. Okay. And he obviously came back from some injuries in the beginning of the year. And he's been fine for fantasy. I mean, week four at running back 35, not great. But other than that, he's been a top 24 guy each week.

that he's played. Michael Pittman against San Francisco. Does he have five or more receptions? Here we go. Three in week one, two last week, and then eight six, six six. Oh, no. Mark of that beast. This one obviously only had two receptions last week, but that was with more pieces there. It looks like T. Y. Hilton's going to be out. We'll see. We don't know yet. It re-agravated an injury. So even if he's in.

Good chance to reagravate the reaggravation. Pooh. And then we know Paris Campbell. Parish Campbell's gone. So I'm going to buy this. I definitely think he has five receptions. Yeah, I'll buy it because they give him a couple of manufactured touches in the screen game probably. And like you said, they're down some pieces. Carson Wentz was the number one rated pastor last week, just for the record. He actually did look.

Good in that game. And I don't think we need Mike's answer. He's contractually obligated here. Yeah, this is a buy. But the thing I was going to say is that game against Houston, unbelievably disappointing. When you're on the field for 96% of the snaps, he ran the most routes of the wide receiver position, and you only draw three targets? I mean, that sucks, man. That's a bad game. I don't think I communicated it well last time I brought it up.

But what I was trying to communicate about Pittman is just that he has not, to me, taken the step of being like the offensive identity at wide receiver for the team, where you build a game plan around. Like, you know, like Justin Jefferson right now, you know, is going to demand this many targets. Pittman might get there, but I just don't see it yet. But he's going to have every opportunity with them losing Paris Campbell, who was put on IR, by the way. He's gone for the year.

I would hope that Carson Wentz can realize that Pittman should be the go-to. Yeah, they need to use him in a more traditional alpha way. They need to back shoulders down the sideline and some deep throws and some deeper passes or even like the AJ Brown crossers, like the deep crossers that we saw this past weekend in play action. Jonathan Taylor's tearing people up.

They don't play, right now they play action to Paris Campbell. They play action to T.Y. Hilton. It does feel like they still have training wheels on him. It does. And I don't understand it. Ryan Tannenhill versus Kansas City. Three or more total touchdowns by herself. This one's fun, man. I've had a real struggle looking at this. I'm going to let you two go first on this one. Maybe you can convince me of where I should be. He hit this all the time last year. Great matchup. Yeah, I don't think I can buy this. I.
