53:42 ↗

But just the snaps are going up. He was drafted to be this guy. Terrell Pryor, it's not, it's not materialized. The guy, he's played one year as a wide receiver is an absolute off-the-chart athletic monster, but he hasn't got that rapport going with Kirk Cousins. Grant of Kirk Cousins, the first couple weeks was nothing special. So I'm not giving up on Torell Pryor. I'm not.

54:11 ↗

I'm not cutting him. He's been a buy low for you this week. Yeah. The way you've talked about it. Yep. I like the buy low. But even when I'm buying low, I'm not buying him to play this week. Right. It's not a great matchup this week. Even though the chiefs are ranked 22nd for fantasy points against the wide receivers, there were a couple, you know, broken plays in that Eagles game that really went to the outside. I'm good as Mike's Peters. You know, I mean, he's unbelievable.

54:37 ↗

It's a good defense, and it's a tough place to play. I would not take the over in this game just because I don't know that Kirk Cousins going to Arrowhead with the current weapons he has will be able to drive up the score. You know what we've never done? We've never done an over-under-water bet. That seems like it would be really entertaining on Monday night to do an over-under-water bet. I mean, I say the over, you say the under, it's 49.5 points. Fight, fight, fight, fight. I'll get it.

55:06 ↗

Oh, yeah. Waterbed. Will you throw that on the board there, Brooks? I will. Thank you. Thank you for that. All right. Hey, every Friday. We have a couple of injury updates. Okay. Before we get into the daily dose. Go ahead. Kenny Galladay did not practice on Friday with a hamstring. By the way, Marvin Jones will be matched up with Xavier Rhodes. Yes. Yeah, he has been eliminated. Start your goal names. He has been eliminated. Rex Burkhead did return.

55:35 ↗

to practice. So maybe he gets in. And Ben Watson also returned to practice. All right. Oh, all right. That's good. Thank you for those updates. Every single Friday, we jump in to the Daily Dose. A Daily Dose. Brought to you by Playdraft. Hopefully you have been playing along with us this year on the draft app.

56:02 ↗

It's great. It lets you continue that whole offseason draft time fun all through the year. And we do a head-to-head-to-head draft each and every week where the loser has a terrible lunch bet. And this week, I had to watch Jason and Mike eat piles of delicious Mexican food. Oh, it was so good. Well, they got me a side salad to eat, and they removed the cheese.

56:24 ↗

They took the, it was lettuce and tomatoes. That was my gift. So the loser this week has to endure some type of terrible lunch bet. And I will not forget the day I ate lettuce. So the day. I choose to sat. We're doing the expert draft where all the top players are gone. Yep. Okay. So it's pretty much garbage. And I've got the first pick. It's hard to pass up. Mike Gillisley here. I'm even saying his name. But I have to because it.

56:54 ↗

O'Dow Beckham being here is absurd. And I'm going to take him. Dang it, man. I thought you were with all that Mike Gillsley talking about maybe you did not see that. That seems like a broken. Well, hey, you've got to take advantage of whatever you can find. What is he doing there? It's probably an algorithm of the first couple weeks. And obviously he had a bad week when he was in there injured. So he's low. Congratulations. He's on my team. Congratulations to you. I'm feeling good over here. Oh, my goodness. I like the matchup.

57:23 ↗

I trust in Case Kingdom at home after last week's performance, so I picked up Adam Thielen. All right. I'm going to get a little cute here. I'm going to double up on running backs, and they're both on the Patriots. I'm taking Gillisley and James White back to back to have a little fun in this expert draft. I do not hate that. I don't want to be mad and draft one of them and the other one scores. And that means I'm drafting Emmanuel Sanders. It's a great pickup. He's a fantastic player. He gets the Raiders. Most targets in the NFL right now.

57:52 ↗

Yeah, people, you got to give Emmanuel Sanders the respect that he deserves. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to take to Quiz Rogers at home. The New York Giants rushing defense has not been quite as great as they were last year. And then there's several wide receivers I still like. So I will probably stick with running back. Man, there is not a lot here to love. They really do take the top options out. But I'm going to grab love bell.

58:21 ↗

I'm going with Levi-on-Bell. No, I'm going to pick up Kevin Coleman at home. You can always break a long play. Ooh. And there's a guy I like here immediately, but knowing the strategy, Andy already took two running backs. So you don't want to, you don't need to take a running back. Yeah. So I'm going to get my stack here just in case Andy thought about it. I don't think he was. I'm going to grab Trevor Simeon. Ah, you know who I was afraid you were going to say? He's my next pick. Devante Parker.

58:50 ↗

Taking Devante Parker, and I have the back-to-back picks here. I'm going to be honest, I did not see his name on the list. Otherwise, you would have taken him. Well, I already took two wide receivers. Yes, I'm running out of time here. I'm going to go Jarvis Landry. How did I miss Parker? I'm going to double stack for two teams. I'm going to go to dolphins, two Patriots, let's get nuts. Wow. I'm going to chase the volume of Chris Carson at home against the Colts. Oh, beautiful play.

59:17 ↗

to round out. I'm going to be eating some terrible stuff based on Odell Beckham being drafted. Chris Carson was a steal there. I'm going with my start of the week that Andy disagrees with. So I'll put my food where my mouth is, right? Because this is a food bet on the line. Go Marcus Mariotta for my quarterback. And now I've got the option to stack in with Richard Matthews. But I'm not going to do that because I really believe Alshan Jeffrey is a good place. That's a great play. Not the greatest matchup, but.

59:45 ↗

No, but Alshon's a good player. Oof. I have the question now. So my roster is complete. I only need one running back here to stay in the flames with Chris Thompson or scroll it on down and grab somebody like Wendell Smallwood. Ooh. I'm going to stay in the flames, fellas. We're going to see what Chris Thompson can do on Monday night. I got to be honest. I'm pretty happy you do that. Well, here we go, guys. Smoke them if you got him. I got Jay Cutler with my final pick. I'm stacking.

60:15 ↗

It's all Dolphins and Patriots this week. We'll see how that turns out. Ironically, I have the highest projection of all three of us. Cutler, James White, Gillisley, Parker, Landry. So I'm going all in on the dolphins. Mike, you went in on the stack with Trevor Simeon. You got Emmanuel Sanders, Chris Thompson, the double Chris's. And Adam Thielen. And Jason, you got Mariotta, Rogers, Coleman, Odell Beckham, Jr. Come on. And Alshon Jeffrey. So, Jason, as usual.

60:44 ↗
