to the fantasy football podcast with your host, Henry Harley, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. The answers are about to be here. Time to play in the game!
Spectacular. Oh, we ride for us. Thank you, everybody. We ride at Dawn.
I hope everybody in there in their vehicle. Oh, they were all doing it too. With their eyes closed. Well, that's right.
No, no, I don't think drivers. We do it for a second. You have to wheel of the priest. Open your eyes.
It was electric. It is football time. Welcome into the show. Yes.
I've never had one today. Oh, you're looking good. We're just one fucking. Well, no trophy hat.
It goes out of the main frame. And it's spectacular. And Mike Omega has a matching one. That'll be great.
We have our League of Records raft happening right up to the show. Then we have Thursday night football. And we have tons of match ups. We've got Super Bowl predictions.
This is a big big show. We got started the week. Oh, my gosh. It's football time.
And so let's jump right in. Head over to the website if you want the week one, rankings, and it starts at the wall at fantasy football.com. The fantasy football is not gone. And you guys want to start off just giving your Super Bowl predictions?
Because already tweeted, and like, yeah, I mean, this is the time of year where we call our shots. I did not. I had not seen your tweet. I know you had said earlier.
You said like a month ago, you had the Lions wing the Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, I don't have it. It is the facts. It's what's going on.
I just revealed you're revealing that the Lions are going. Like one of those orbs that you look into. And you see it in the Lions will be the Chiefs this September. And so I think we were just looking at the same orb.
But from opposite side, I think you read it backwards. Because I have the Chiefs over the Lions. So we got the same things. So you go Chiefs.
I'm going Lions. I'm having them do the everybody wanted the Patriots, the finish the perfect season. Not everybody. But a lot of people history.
And this would be the three in a row. Oh, yeah. And this will be ruined by the end. Yeah.
So you guys are looking at orb. You forgot to anchor being for arm versus already gone. So you're looking at something that doesn't exist. It is the Baltimore Ravens beating the Green Bay Packers.
The Baltimore Ravens over the Packers. I'm curious if the juicers back there, you're not going to be the whole Super Bowl. But just a winner of the Super Bowl. Kyle is in the house today.
Oh, we're going to see that. I'm going to go again. He's in town. And Kyle, do you have a Super Bowl winner?
You want to reveal? I'm going to say the 49ers finally get it. OK. All right.
And then Papa John, I have to agree. 49ers. Oh, boring. And we'll see.
We already know the answer here. Yeah, who's the Super Bowl winner there? I'll take it back. Yeah.
I was in a fourth snow back there. Drop it off. Smell like three consecutive trains, I saw a great tweet. It was really fun that basically charted the Super Bowl odds for teams versus compared to it was Sam Hoppen who tweeted out and it was compared it and grabbed it to their fans' optimism of their chances of the Super Bowl.
And the two funniest ones to me were the Bears and the Cowboys. Because the Cowboys have decent-ish odds when they get to their fans. They're like, no, absolutely none. And the Bears have really no odds with Super Bowl.
And they're like, right in line with the Chiefs and the Lions. The Bears think like this is having this year. Good for you, Bears fans. No, no, no.
No, I love their show. This is like if you have been without food for so long and then you call a really mediocre meal, the greatest one ever made. Like they all have their hope. It's just ill advice.
Like the Bears don't get me wrong. I think the Bears are going to be great. They have set the foundation for a long run of competing for the division. But the amount of people that have found it very posh to just go out and say the Bears are going to be the Super Bowl winners or they're going to be the industry representatives with a Ricci quarterback.
I just find that to be really hard to believe. And it's such a quarterback to where you're not allowed to have a pretty good OK here without being a failure. And I'm worried about that for Caleb Williams sake. I think you go out there and the popularity of making the Bears the Super Bowl winners here is just shocking to me.
Yeah, and right because you're going to be a good pay-up. You think that's why? I'm all for hope. I just wanted to be somewhere in the realm of posh.
I love that they can have that excitement, but you don't want it to become delusion. I do know several Cowboys fans. And you could have, you could have the best players of every team on the Cowboys roster. And they will be like, it's going to be a failure of the year.
Because it's been 20, five years, however long it's been. It has to make the playoffs. And they, everything always sets up good for the Cowboys. They've made the playoffs more recent.
I believe you said it's been 25 years. They made the playoffs. Oh, correct. One a play.
One a play off. Yes. Winning a playoff game. Dallas is plus 1900 Chicago plus 3500 win the Super Bowl.
So there you go. There's a prediction. Lines over chiefs, teams over lines, Ravens over Packers. That would make Auburn a very sad.
Oh, that's good. We have football on Sunday as well as tonight. Sunday live returns. Is that not speaking out of turn there?
No, you are not. We will be back. Our faces will be tilted off. So what time is Sunday live?
30 or an hour before kickoff? Okay. That is the proper amount of time to kill. Oh, yeah.
The show doesn't run an hour. For those that will never tend to be a event that is Sunday live, but it's an hour before kickoff. I'm sure you're aware when Mike is going live on Sunday morning. Head over to our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash the fantasy footballers.
Subscribe, click the bell and then you'll be alerted when Mike is going live. He normally handles the latest news that is going on that morning, including injuries. All of the most popular start, six questions on the website. Am I missing anything?
Okay. Questions from the end of the list are in the live stream. So you might if you've got your specific start, you might get that answered. And then all the all the active are basically you live right after all of the active and active have been officially reported.
All right. Let's jump into the news before we get into our start to the weekend. The news and notes from around the league presented by USA Insurance. Okay.
Do you want to participate in Wednesday's practice? There were quotes from there were quotes from Burrow that really made it seem like that he's playing. Like you know, I don't have in front of it. But he was, Chase is going ready to go.
It's great to have him back when you have to be at our best. That doesn't mean he's going to be there. But I don't know. The ready to go is a vote of confidence to me.
That's just the kind of thing to get him to sit out another practice. Watch what you say Joe. You're not wrong. For me, it's we're not practice watch for today.
If you're more practices today, he's going to play. Hey, no, that's my official say it's okay. The Rams wide receiver. Who can go practice in full?
Okay. He's going to be there for week one against the Raiders. Drop hours ready to go for week one against the Chargers. We play powers or shows?
That's asking for a friend. I think I'd go with show. That was been nursing a foot injury the past week or so. But he will be playing it.
But again, it's like we're tight end playing his first ever game. Jordan has him. Kevin Connell said that he feels pretty good about him playing in week one. He had a high ankle sprained on August 14.
I don't know where you guys are at with that. It's in right now temperature. I would not be starting at us in week one coming off of the injury. I mean, as in his borderline player right now, anyways, I think I'm going to be playing a borderline flex.
Yeah, a borderline flex. He's a flex decision. I am on equipping him into lineups. All right.
That was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance on more at USA.com's insurance. And a little bit of a pivot to our Thursday episode. We are moving like it. We're moving this starts of the week up to we're going to reveal him ahead of the match-ups for the first time.
We're going to be co-owner in the match-up. Instead of us being like, we'll talk about him later, hand hands, wink, wink, wink. We will just share our starts of the week right out of the gate. So let's get to it.
Starts of the week. All right. I'm going to hand it off to one of you guys to kick it off at the court of acquisition. What's over Jason?
I'm going to two. I think I said it properly. But for some reason today, Kyle chose to write to his name in the show doc as to a tunnel by low, low, low, low, low. Yeah.
That was me that wrote it in it. I didn't want to spell it as the whole number. The first step of saying it, correct. I think that we are all very, very excited for the money dolphins against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
I think both defenses are mid and both offenses have the ability and the talent to be very, very good. Last year, the third most passing arts ever for an all-time opener was to a against the Chargers. And so this is a team I think at the beginning of the year, we've seen a two year group of a row where they start really hot. It's hard to prepare for this offense.
They're quick strike offense. Now you've got Waddle, you've got Hill. They're saying they're healthy. They're ready to go.
I really think. I mean, if you drafted to a, maybe you drafted to a, in Daniels or whatever, I, to a would be very hard to keep out of my line of this week. Yeah, that should be. We'll start with this.
It's week one. Start yourselves. These are just a couple of, I have some lower tiered guys that maybe I'm trying to give you a confidence boost here. Should you be in a larger league or something?
Something we wrong during your draft. What I might go back is Jergoff, top five bold prediction. Apparently the Super Bowl winning. Yes.
You also made him in the end of the game. Yes. The football league in your ball. I certainly did that.
He's in the dome. He's playing against the Rams who, the domino here. Okay. No, I'm not that sick game.
I like it. I like it. The domino here. I mean, this year, every year.
Yes. So if the game has a high over under of the week, the line's on the highest implied team total. Right now it's a revenge game yet again. And the Rams allowed a seven most points to the quarterback position last year.
So this is a, Goff is someone you could drafted later. And maybe he's highlighted to be. I was the last one to get my names into our starts of the week. And Goff was at the tip top obviously.
Kyle Murray on the road against Buffalo high over under on the week. Full off season a year recovered from ACL. Nothing but positive five second year in the offense. And over the last three years, Tyler was already a top 12, about 61% of the time.
That is the fifth highest rate on all quarterbacks when he plays. And he's a very, very good fantasy option for your football team. We're going to see training right out there again after the fantastic finish to 2023. The debut of Martin Harrison, Michael Wilson begins the sophomore season.
Great door to out there in James Connor, of course. The Buffalo defense is not what it used to be. They gave up a lot of, you know, a lot of plays you didn't expect to give up last year. And they've lost personnel.
So I think Kyle gets off to a really, really good start. And Buffalo's fairly heavily favorite at home. That defense, they're going to be in a position where the way they win this game is a shooting. Yeah, I mean, their defense is trash.
And I think we're all really excited for the Cardinals offense because of how bad the defense is. Which that's up. I started the week really well at running back. James Cook.
I mean, we saw last year with the change to the off-court interchanged to Brady. How good cook was down the stretch. How much they were running the ball below. Average 37, rushing plays under Brady.
That's number one in a foul. In a high 208 of those in that span coming with a game tied or Buffalo leading. They will be leading in this game. James Cook should eat opponents last year.
They ran the ball 521 times. He's a bonus. He's a bonus. He's a bonus.
He's a bonus. He's a bonus. But they ran the ball 521 times versus Arizona last year. That is the seventh highest of any team over the last decade.
Six point home. It's amazing how punctuation is important. It's like when you say I'm out loud. James, the candle cook.
All right. I've got you. I've got you about a Williams against the Seattle Seahawks. It's much of P run is gone.
His boat loaded targets and receptions are gone. He has to leave a lot of good feeling here. But I think that's a chance to come out and establish himself early as a true workforce running back for champagne. There are a handful of running backs like Devon.
He's near why Zach Moss in that lower tier drafted that one week could change your entire outlook. If you got the benefit of one week of numbers, they would probably get moved significantly in the draft. Here's Devon. If it's in the category, how do people need to hear this from me?
So last year's second among all running backs in target for route run because this is a paid offense. I expect Rickie, the next to be checking it down eight ton and it's just the match of Seattle last year. Thirty second and first down the lab 28 points per game 30. They're totally yards per game 31st in rushing yard to allow this was a really bad defense.
Maybe they have figured some things out, but it's still week one and that's the day we have to go on. All right. I'm going to go with one easy start one hard start at the same position for the same team. It's the battlefield at the Miami Dolphins against Jacksonville.
Jason mentioned it was a high over under the week. I think if you drafted it on each annual, of course going to start it. It should be very good. Jack's it all allowed the most running back receptions in the NFL last year and a chain of all this receiver very positive right now They don't really have if you guys are running on League Washington that is a rookie in week one.
They don't have back home They have racks of variables, but you're talking about the top two targets outside and probably the backfield So a chain is a must start but I want to bring up most because this was the running back to last year He's older but the beginning of seasons very good for the older legs right you you are not tired yet in this game It should be very very very positive game script wise for him most of the offense you've heard the head coach of the dolphins come out and talk about you know This is gonna be a feel-a-hot hand feel who's getting you yard inside the backfield And I think both my only running backs will be very very good in week one which means if you grab the most of your late You're gonna be an opportunity for you. There's a lot of media line for freedom. Maybe on the I would certainly be trying to get him in line up. The matchup is really really good.
Most of it should have a great game At Wider's sheaver my start of the week. Oh, it's the rookie baby. It's Malik neighbors This is against Minnesota who last year gave up the fifth most of the six most fantasy points opposing Wider's I saw a quote from say go on talking about Brian Dayball and his play calling sheet about how on the back of it He has certain plays design for search specific players and they both took over the play calling do so that when someone gets hot They can really start focusing guy. I think this is he's gonna get The world is going to know after week one that league neighbors is a stunt is awesome He's going to have 25 plus percent of the targets just be peppered with them And you know you'd wrap it up where you drafted him to start him.
I think he proves that he is worthy of that pick right off the bat I love to hear that Jason about you do. I'm going with Christian Watson on the road a big road far away from home But they're gonna still be able to go Eagles as of right now He is healthy is the hamstring actually fixed that's D.B. But right now He's gonna be going and the matchup that Eagles were the team to attack last year The matchup most fantasy points of that most fantasy points outside wide receivers Give you some upside where Christian Watson is going in the draft right now. There's a player that maybe looking at you're worried about Needing some real upside in a matchup.
I think Christian Watson's the guy for that and it's just my faith of Watson being the actual number one Why do you see for the actors? All right? I've got a interesting name Right now I started the week of water. See where it's the fun.
Dicks of the Houston Cold we were obviously nervous about the past ghettars. Nickos seems like he's the one but digs. I've been rising on Digs over the last several days on my fear. Yeah, I think I think it's very very It's very possible that they obviously Jacob situations change for him to make us more in his corner I don't know if we'll continue for days each and every week, but I think this we can particular against the colds Is they do as a tax in the fact that he is going to be the guy roaming the middle of the field in that Strap is really looked to his receivers there 26% of his starting to start to build the field number one in the NFL and the colds play a lot Number three the middle of the field is open.
I think you just with a player of the pedigree of the fun digs Who has been in the team captain? It's very very important for the locker room to get him going early? I think establishing him in this office is going to be a priority for the head coach and for CJ shroud to begin to open up the outside When you go on to take down. Yeah, I think that I think that is the plan to get digs involved early the problem is gonna be every time to take That houses it.
Oh, okay. Digs can't do any more work. So that that's just letting you know It doesn't work is your players are housing You could have been on the side with the actual number one. Why do you see for the next day?
Every time housing? I yeah, I brought up on the show very much But just like the likelihood of all three of those players are making you happy is very low which means that there's a decent possibility that you're not happy with something quite often You will be whether it's Dell whether it's they're gonna have disappointing outings But it's important to remind players we talk about this in the true series Why receivers accept the best of the best except on Ron and cd lamb? They're all inconsistent So what you want to go for is the ones that can have big performance. It's all three of these guys can't tighten I'm going to I mean, I think this is just perfect.
I'm going to have any room guy who I haven't been the most against a support During the dream. You have really liked a really like your favorite tight index today. It's a good. Thank you They might we talk about the dolphins.
We want that off. It's I want this game in the Jacksonville Jaguars They're gonna have to try to keep up. He's going to be very very involved in this game last year The dolphin gave up the fifth most fancy points per game to the tight position The reason why is they run very heavy on cover six 25% of their defensive looks were cover six That's the highest rate in the NFL for context 9.7% is average so way above average over double And cover six is generally weak against the flats. That's where Evan Ingram lives those little that's why I kind of don't like every I'm gonna say it's just you know value list targets by your six no flats.
Yeah, exactly And he's going to have if you're in a PPR I mean, he's just gonna have so many targets and stuff this week. I love it Mike All right, like I said Michael last and okay because I just I'm jumping in so I'm gonna discuss it Don't think it is there's only as my pick while we wait to figure out which buffalo I received emerges by the way. I was very close to taking a deep selection of Kaleo Shakir and weak one So just on that Yeah, yes, yes, but can Kate great that to leave the team and targets Arizona has no pass rush But don't worry. They also know secondary so they have one player on defense that you can trust boot maker in the middle of field Okay, okay, yes, so don't get his might start a weak pick and Arizona They go game up the second most touchdown to the title.
All right, start your side's at the position Do you notice trophy? Again, go to any scammer. Let's look at this trophy perfect very nice. Really.
That's Mike's Myself. Oh, he's a Hey, come on YouTube. Oh man. It looks like a very different on your camera So start your sides and this maybe this is more than starting backups and maybe it's more to the event and start Sorry guys on the way.
Oh, this is all about the process. It's week one. Let's have some fun boys All right, all right, but that helps it's Zachards. Yeah, I know.
I know. I know. I just threw up I should have worn people they were eating food to put it down Don't let the tie in position in targets in week one last year Zach freaking earths the matchup is people are saying who do you play for? The Washington commanders he plays against the box.
They allow the second most receiving our second most fancy points to the tight end position last year Zachards Let's go. Cliff King's very two Zachards is Dennis Allen to take some pill this guy can't get enough of Zachards He can somehow Zachards was keeping training bright off the field because in part because of clippings very and look at the preseason usage Is anything for the Washington and Jane Daniels. They was get the ball out immediately and who do you think that ball? If it's going out immediately that things won't have to Zachards This isn't upside play.
This is a thing Zachards is good for like five for 40 or something like that Start of the week. Look, I would not be surprised if Zachards has a good game I would be surprised if anybody started him in any situation. So think about the thing You have to drop player pick Zachards. He's not he's not roster right now What tight ends what layer tight ends are you willing to drop to like I'm gonna leave where I got take some hill I Like a bigger leagues not just well like a 42 Look what Zachards outsource Pat Friday.
He's a week one. Don't grind me. All right Well, you put on the tight end because that's usually my like last round tight end So are you name? Look name value if you have you had frides You're starting too much time.
I'm generally curious because if this is your story if you have Friday with would you drop a earth and play earth You know, yes, I would play Zachards over that right if yes, we're taking a break. We're jumping into the forecast All right week one of the NFL season boys it is time to jump in It's time for fantasy forecast presented by drafting sports book All right, I got to get back to this actor. Oh man. I know it's been sure but I am in a league It's deep very very.
I think I got my my tight end in round 16. Okay. I went I went Pockton a little earlier. Oh Luke must be okay He you know going into the year two.
He showed a lot of flashes as a rookie for the Packers last season I know your answer is you would start earth over muskrey The question is would you drop muskrey because I'm gonna make that move right now in play earth in that league I drop muskrey to pick up earth and play any or you're a yes over there I think that it's the drop is a hard part because I think over the course of the season Muskrey is probably the guy you're gonna want to have but just say we want to do it's gonna have been sent for what it's worth I didn't really know you're taking some zachards is going to be the dirtiest most disgusting. Yes a simulator of catches I would drop if I was I need to hear from like that I should drop muskrey for Zachary's and I will make that transaction. All right All right I'm actually doing it. Thank you.
I am really good. Okay. Let's right first match up We're gonna talk about we already preview the Thursday night game that happens tonight But yesterday so if you want to hear that preview go back click on yesterday's episode But we're starting out with Friday night in Brazil. Oh, sure the Green Bay Panthers take on the Philadelphia Eagles Apparently we chose teams that are green to try match the flag in Brazil Which I think is very cardier to the NFL next level thinking they don't have to get like new deer They do not they do not they can wear their own colors and we're both teams the drafting sports line here Eagles minus to the other under is 49 points in Brazil We've got two playoff things.
We've got two teams a lot of fantasy options. We got one team with Mike start the equation Watson Jordan love you got paid this offseason his DK line right now is You know 250 plus passing yards is nice 45 for Jordan 11 this game secondary for the Eagles last year was ranked 30 In fantasy points allowed are we going to get what we want in Brazil? Yes Jordan love is a great play like you can look at his his DK line right now. It's 250 plus passing yards I think I think I can make that in top of that just real quick Jordan love plays the Eagles the Colts the Titans The midest of I can the Rams the Arizona Cardinals that is the opening schedule for Jordan love.
I think that he is going to be He's gonna start start super hot Josh Jacobs is the last and only running back remaining for being very excited about him this one Yeah, I mean though it has been a tough defense in front of us We know we can get everything yeah, and you believe in before you believe in the system to get him the ball where he needs You know the packer's offense is one that I think we're all really really excited to watch to kind of see if there's any clarity Which I believe there will be in this in this receiving court I think similar what you're talking about with the Texans it's gonna be a you kind of got to get lucky You've got to have the right week for whether it's doing reworkers and wants it So that means you really should be starting because you know if you want to get the big matchups You you have to start them through the buds as well, but then if that passing is working I think that the we've always seen value from Aaron Jones and Josh Jacobs will catch the ball more than he did as a rare So yeah, I mean obviously you're starting Josh Jacobs I think it will work out this week The only thing to really look out for really jobs popped up on the the practice report limited with a hand injury So if dogs with one of your leader double flex options you may have to hit it What in the wider super room for being Bay? Happens this week that we disappoint you what what what? What we just point you from you know is it J and reorder performing wants and performing is it? Dogs being the leader of the room in the week one is it Which not getting any play?
Yeah, it's the most disappointing thing just to be betraying is not even with not getting the snaps that we hope Because of his production. I had on a per route basis last year like real I'll eat numbers not saying which is a leap later, but yes, we I guess Jason willing to say it but if he doesn't get on the field very much that would be this one On the other side It's pretty easy from a fantasy perspective hurts shake one age around a month a smith every week every week And we get to see John Dawson on the field hopefully maybe you should be there White or three which I think and I hope that role is irrelevant if the hundat's in is good this year That will really not be good for I think fantasy managers. I want to see what the running back breakdown is Philadelphia wise They use how much do they use bar? How much are they trying to manage his workload?
You know what is Philadelphia look like I really tough into the season where they lost I think five or six or seven games I've blown down the playoffs. They have a whole new offense They have a whole new defensive coordinator this game is gonna be very interesting from that perspective Now God is gonna be back out there a lot of the major is injury in the fact that when every missing time the body's myth eats Is opponents a decent right? So God or though he should be playing are we ignoring God for fantasy because we're tired of it? Yeah, I think I personally I mean Dallas Goddard has not been good in a long time He's just you know he had a big name and we were hoping for him to break out behind Zachards a long time ago and show a lot of flashes But you look at last season he missed three games and then yet for decent fantasy games the rest were all unusable awful Consistency score of a D so you know the matchup here is fine That was got it coming off of an injury to those healthy to be playing.
I'm not gonna roll those eyes All right, let's turn the page through these Sunday games Pittsburgh Atlanta the over on here's his 42 points Atlanta three and half point home favorites and The revenge of Arthur Smith begins immediately The fact that he can instantaneously use core their own Patterson gets the very team that he used oh man Come on last year is incredible and so you know we haven't seen any of Atlanta in the preseason the offense has been You know none of the starters played any it snaps right? I don't think anybody was out there at all so court cousins the recovery from the Achilles switching teams what you know be John London There's a lot of anticipation how it came out this morning for what it wasn't the news But he came out and mocked everybody making a big deal about it was hamstring He said he said he missed two reps on the rack or something like that and that meant that everyone's free Daddy said see you Sunday So I know who reported what and what matter but pits is gonna be out there and so I'm gonna ask you the same question What happens on Sunday at home in Atlanta that we disappoint you right out of the gate? Oh, I mean there's so many things. I mean the Falcons are off and so I'm very excited to see I wish they had a good matchup for week one the Steelers They always find a way to have a good defense even when they lose players in their bad for police and they figure it out I think this is a really tough match.
So the thing that would this point in the most would be be John Splitting time more with Algier than we think I that shouldn't be what happens. I'll do it will be involved And I think there's been a lot about Algier at the goal line right now The DK line for any time touchdown for B. John Robinson is minus one of five I mean that was like Christian calfry last year remember when you were trying to get a touchdown And you know and make that bet who's like minus doing it's like crazy the expectation is that you get a touchdown That is awesome for fans. He's gonna be the most disappointing thing if your comes in around the goal line I will be so so upset all right on the other side of the ball Like I'm gonna came out talking about the running back rotation He says in terms of how we divide the labor up.
It's gonna be week to week We have some people guys he throw quarter of the opportunity to mix as well He's talking of course about Naji Harris in Jalen, Warren both guys will be out there against Atlanta It was pretty good against the run last year, but if Patterson's getting worked in are you taking? Is it is not a much start situation is Warren a much start situation? Do you want to feel it out? I'd prefer to feel it out with with Warren for sure Like limited on Wednesday he's been dealing with hamstring all for for some weeks now in training camp So for Warren.
I want to see it. Naji. I'm okay putting them out there As if your volume play it doesn't feel like it's outside at all The Steelers are I would kind of rather see what's gonna happen here with a new quarterback with a new offensive coordinator Pickers is fine. He'll be in my line.
Everybody else if I can avoid it. I probably would You mentioned Matt Brian mute if he was the guy you took at the end of your draft You're obviously gonna throw him out there, but this matchup low over under a lot of unknown on both sides to bring the quarterbacks And we don't know a lot of what that's going to look like in the low over under makes you less excited about the matchup Yeah, and the way that the youth it just the usage is I have my concerns of how it's gonna work out more Yeah, yeah, I agree Arizona out below the DK sports line here builds minus six and a half the over under 48 We like that total Mike's my guy Kylery was my start of the week and I'm a big fan of this game script in the way to play out There's like watching my channel figuring out who weapons are gonna be alley off into the function There's a really good chance they look pretty good and we want to kiss there's on a defense and maybe quell the fears and then You know, maybe not buy into everything that you see on the field and we want because Arizona's defense is it is the perfect set up for Allen Allen When he's not pressured number one fancy points per game on non-pressure dropouts second fancy points We're dropping third in the place. I mean, he can play 75% of his passes. He's not being pressured in the card.
It's not pressure They can't bring pressure. They don't have the personnel to make it happen and they're already dealing with defensive line injuries So when you talk about getting a feel for the new offensive buffalo you could see you know My biggest problem is trying to identify what guy had rolled a dice on I have this decision a couple weeks I could go hurt a Samuel who's recovering from surf. So that is not an injury that I really want to mess around with him We go I don't you could have two rounds and we've seen her say I'm a legal field for me as Kalil Shakira I mentioned I earlier that's kind of what I said on but can't call him in how much run does he get with the starters on the outside? If you take a shot what's the name for you for me?
It's a cure The wider season I'll go for a Samuel from I get this one back from the donnery I mean if that's a half pick my pick is actually not a defense. This could be a game where you are also up And you're running down a lot of my James go because you started. Yeah This could be a rate Davis game. Yeah The rookie back up running back couldn't up with two touchdowns in this game because you know you look at what happened last year And the nice thing is the carls off and might be able to keep pace here and make it to where it is more of a shootout But if the carls off and you know samples at all their defense is not good enough to stop the bill's office Which means last year what you saw is despite how bad the defense was why does he really didn't really do well against cars Running back because you just get to a game script point where you're not throwing the ball much So I love don't decay.
I love James Cook Josh Allen will be in the pass again I wonder if you'll have any rushing to just stand back there like 12 seconds find the guy who wants to throw it to him If it's a rate Davis game is you call it that will send panic to the streets I think we'll just have a there up and James Cook has gotten his work on the both hands Yeah, the concern is that cookies has worked done and that doesn't fall to touch him James Connors over under right now In case 51 and have rushing on his life. It's one of my favorite of the week James Connor is the workhorse back when your offensive coordinator has the willingness to call you the bell cow That doesn't happen a lot in the NFL level you normally equivocate and say well, we're gonna feel it out We're gonna play different guys. We're gonna see what happens. We got a lot of guys in the backfield Oh, this is like James Connor just Yes, it's all his yeah, that's been what is felt like all all offseason over the summer coming out of Arizona Tree Benson is a very interesting bench slash insurance running back, but until James Connor misses time I think he is he feels like In your draft which we talked about like the cheapest real bell cow for a good offense that is available in the draft And that Milano is not part of you know, he's not gonna be there right.
It feels their defense won't be as good as the best Yeah, and it started this struggle at times last year Martin Harrison makes a debut if you drafted him you're starting him Same with training bride, and I think I'm gonna get this out of the way Andy is almost upset of the league I wondered even before the show you began. It's like I kind of wanted to see it, but I don't have I don't have the magic powers Yeah, if there's a feeling out period on the offensive side of the football for even a while for Buffalo with a high-order under I and the defense is both like on both sides of the line like the defense right so and I like the quarterbacks I know more players are going to bring to the table both things are figuring out So I think I'll be very competitive game of the gonna be close I think they'll almost have some players on a little niche game when people on the last play of the game All right, we'll take a break and we'll jump into another matchup Kyle wants me to explain the almost upset to me listeners. I thought the drop did a pretty good job Yeah, but you're gonna almost upset the team but you're not gonna go all the way I get credit when they do upset and they get close and cover the line right now I've worked and you get credit despite wearing that super hat right now You can't be remembered from genuinely you're almost upset to sort of we have been they hit do you have some dad pile You have a pull up. I can pull it up.
You are scary good at it. I hate it It's very good at it. I find though the ones that like this one, you know It's hard. I know the listeners are going is this just the whole more things.
It's just a card and we'll say I will say that might be most of the time When you drop this on one that shocks me and I think like when my jaw drops when you get always a good time That's always a good time. I think I think it's a good time Yeah, the last year was very good. We get Jason John dropped into the it is the debits Yeah, you have some number come last year you covered this red 80% Oh, maybe that's all in it was an outright win on 67% you are You're fine too close to the sun. There's no chance of that happening again or will it all right Tennessee at Chicago Very excited about this fun game.
It's gonna be a lot of fun both teams They're kind of like new look franchises right now. You got Kayla Williams will have us Some a lot of players that are relevant for fancy. They've been drafted got the perfect of white out in Chicago And this game you know right now the drafting sports with line bears minus three a half They're the home team the over under is 44 and a half two young quarterbacks two new offenses A lot of them excited but also a lot of nerves. That's who whoa, you know like can these guys get it done I would expect Chicago to win with that defense at home against Tennessee But they showed up very excited to see the Titans as they have been just drained of all testosterone as they made the move away From the last regime of what we do is we grind out games with Derek Henry and this regime said we're gonna bring in Tony Pollard to go with Pause J spears to you know not jack into cruising My next guys were excellent catching Paul seeing what the turnaround for this team has to be more of a past team is It'll be fun to watch it feels like both running back to Jason have been plus to kind of this middle ground Maybe the dead zone maybe players that nobody's actively been targeting they settle on Pollard and Swift are we in for a surprise here?
Is there the potential that we get in here? I'm trying to draw some yard mark on DK only 43 now Yeah, I mean that's not great because I genuinely believe that Pollard and Pause J will be an almost 50 50 split I mean someone has to start so it'll be you know 50 3 47 but those guys are going to both be on the field in the exact same situation to use the exact same as running backs And that might work for the Tennessee Titans. That does not work well for fantasy football Also, there's a pretty solid defense. I'm not sure that I love either other run backs on the Tennessee side Swift on the other hand he projects like he could get a You know lion share of the workload there with Herbert and Roshan Johnson just basically being back up to who's style him from time So I picked me power to be a pretty easy Swift for me is that in your your situation to my Do you want to switch this just this devil?
I'm sorry. I should never ask you to choose a situation I'm gonna I'm the point caller side for what's where that's not a lot most confidence But I think he's a better player. I believe he will I'm gonna turn last you people do what's with it in Philly I think we started here with game well as a starter and Swift is the backup This is a close-order situation. I think Paul will outplay spirits to the degree that it becomes a one a one-day or one into on the other On the bare side to something to pay attention to keep an island did pop up with a heel injury I'm not gonna make any comments about I got a lot more carry around I'll do it.
You know, I mean that's Gravitation are your heels feeling better in the last you know, you know that in slow your load. He's really absorbed some of that for me and You know the interesting thing here pretty good this year mr guy's Oliver Jersey on his word afterwards Yes, my dad bring your hat. Thank you. I couldn't find it.
It was one interesting thing here So he came over from the cheeks and he was an absolute monstrosity. Yes, holding water super one's last season like he became he got to the point Where you'd be staring out a super strong like playing against cheese. No, that's a whole defensive scheme and all that We don't know that you can do that here, but he is here now So it's like if DJ Moore is locked down That's why I would assume if you're gonna show you kind of put a knee on DJ Moore and Ken has a heel problem It's like does a do a it's yes sneaky. Okay play week one.
You know I like I like I've been like him in this game I've been down on them. I don't know They still don't like him on a season long basis for where he was drafted by if you drafted I think you throw in your mind It's a test. I'll do a prime Thomas who was named to start it by the way right now Just so you know the starting wide receivers and Johnson on the outside is gay. Davis on one side of Ryan Thomas on the other Christian Kirk is only playing in three wide men So that is very significant to me.
But do say Brian Thomas and week one right times has the great Miami game Rich received a heat against Carolina or Roma Dunes a room stops against Philly I need more information. I would probably do say for the sake of the big game. Yeah My take is disrespect around the loss. Yeah.
I will he's a special sheet Calverily Yeah, I'm kind of excited about Calmer really and we should have the other happens back to health takes and pressure I'm doing what as well coming off of the injury I mean that was fun. Uh last fun New England is playing football this week against Cincinnati The If you punted your DSC to the end of the draft as you should but maybe you were at the end of the line and you don't you don't like what your current match Looks like the bangles week one is gonna work. It's gonna work. I don't think it will work from a DST standpoint Yeah, because this line is horse do they are horse do and I will I will certainly stream against them a lot But I'm not sure that the bangles defense is in horse do do too.
So it's About me a huge lead against the team. They're at home super favorites Yeah, the other team has a bad offensive like they're gonna have to start talking the ball in a second. Okay. That's turn over See I think you've been Welcome to the Monday early and often in this game He's the most reliable offensive piece that they have so I think you're gonna see a lot of money.
What can you do with the touches? I mean that's the question is decay line right now is 49 and a half yardage wise Can you catch the football that's in this game? That's what you're hoping for monday? It like storylines that you're looking for the past number one I mean, I'm jill and poke watch is he a is he a starter?
Is he earning targets right away? I think that's interesting to watch and then this team that if they're going to be a negative game Which is part of why I have it love remundering in the draft process But it's when they are down and they're trying to come back I know what I got the money, but is it him or is it Antonio Gibson who they brought in pretty early in the process and his specialty is catching the ball That will be the number one thing to watch in this game is who is the pass catching back and how about this? I'm on the side where I believe it will be remundering I think you'll catch a ton of passes and be absolutely fine in P. Garless on the other side of the football Joe burrow Will he have to march a we are still waiting to find out the Higgins will have and you know You're gonna remember that New England has lost their defense opponent So people expecting to be the same kind of defense.
They've been the past Yeah, they go be I think we're good. TBD with the departure of Bill Bell Check this one area. He kept it on lockdown that much chase brown seeing that distribution of work will be very very interesting important I mean that's this is one of the biggest debates of draft season is which guy is or isn't either what I neither Neither neither neither neither can be either either are you kidding right now? Yes, it can be both of those things Very good defense around here.
Yeah, but Jack Moss How you drafted if you went you know more hero or zero or any back type of approach the beginning? Zach Moss was one of the targets that I've tried to get on those things So he's probably playing at least as I think if I Yeah, I'm not thinking what's your are being you're gonna be having to start is that boss But where he was drafted? I think most of the time he is gonna be in flex consideration I would love to hold off in week one It's a tough defense against running backs and then you have the wrinkle of what is it? 50% most of most easy little harder Moss or Gus Edwards I think I would go the Gus plus yeah, I probably didn't know way one more match up for today Well, we'll wrap it up.
We'll do the rest of them tomorrow Houston at Indianapolis Fund divisional game to start the season the drafting sports with line Texans minus three the over under is 48 and a half Cold to home We'll see what Anthony Richardson has in store. We'll see if the beef up Houston Texans personnel on defense can bring a better Performance than they did at times last year. I mean what Mike you had kind of a gut real reaction right there is it about Richardson What is gonna be capable of in this game? It's going to be I mean Anthony Richardson is one of the biggest fantasy storylines of the season really polarizing of people being all the way in or just watching him Play in the preseason going no, I'm all the way out.
It's not gonna work. It's just how healthy using how much does he run? You can be a backboarder back. But I think yes, you can that is in the realm of possibility CJ's driving to Indianapolis last year 3 84 and 2 2 64 into you play a Nico Collins guy.
I mean you should you play all three I know I just put a Nico last year gets the Colts week to 24.1 pointy with watch you for and then in week 18 he was the wife number one I guess the cold season at least last year. He had the number we're gonna see Joe Nixon with a new uniform and a big Workload so it that'll be a very interesting one the cold last year where one of the worst teams in the league is the run So he makes an insane obviously a much start this will be a cruise in a 4.9 Here, three point nine Hey, I hate it. It's gonna be very very good. Yes.
I'm probably the whole year. Yeah, I mean really I don't love the personnel on the the Colts the fence outside of all so there's no text in that I am unwilling to start even going down down the salt obviously all of these guys are not gonna work out But there will be points here to have and and I think you can start all of them Hope that goes to your guy on the other side though. It this will be very interesting the Texans made a lot of That's not even so solid. They had a terrible defense last year and they went out and they said hey I think we got a suitable window.
They went out spit big money And so I'm interested to see if the Texans defenses good. Are you willing to play at an I'm Mitchell? No, I don't think so I Josh down still he did not practice on Wednesday with a high ankle spray and it's he seems like he is unlikely to play I think I'm a wider receiver for the Colts. I'm starting his pin Okay, yeah, I will be you know The guard throws situation is it Mitchell and Pierce.
I think we'll both play both our throws John Taylor He could obviously playing him and we'll see what the we haven't got the same Richardson together What is your actual Michael Pittman confidence? Is he can write down five and a half receptions and I am I? I got the he I was going I mean I think ends up with five. So I go on.
Yeah, I'm probably on that side too So he's even a wider super too for you this week or I think he's a wider super. No side to say oh no He's watching me watch him watch him. Oh man, please Richardson don't forget you have these starts at two on the website Thank you for all your time.
