Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

Welcome in. The fantasy footballers podcast, Monday edition. Jason Mormeke, right, Andy Hollowway, back with you.

What a weekend. That was awesome.

Bear's fans looking like the D-Wade statue this morning, agaced at the Halle Mary. That was It's fun to be on the winning side of that, but it's devastating if you're on the other end. I remember the Cardinals in the... Was it the playoff game or the packer game where Aaron Rodgers and Jeff Janis? Yeah. I mean, you It just feel like you've been cheated.

Yeah, because you won the game, but then you didn't. However, in that specific game, it really felt like the commanders-They were going to-beat the tar out of the bears, and it was unfair that the bears were going to sneak out to win. So I was okay with it, especially considering that the commanders were at home. If there is a Halle Mary changed a loss into a victory, I always want that to be at the home. For the people? Yeah, because otherwise, it's like, you know.

Yeah.

Eighty thousand people just destroyed. Just go home sad, everybody. All you family members and kids that came out here to watch this lovely game you love, eat it, go home. No, I want them to do what they did and go home and have a lifelong memory of I was at that game.

Yeah. And you had the screenshots afterwards and the video afterwards of- Stevenson. Of Stevenson, the Bear's cornerback mid-play, taunting the Commander's fans. Now, to his credit, he came out early this morning, apologized, didn't double down on nothing there. But then he's the one that ran over and tipped the ball up in the air in the most come-up-ince moment of- If you haven't seen it, what happened on that play is there's personal recordings from the stands of people watching.

He is walking back towards the end zone-Facing away from the play. Facing away from the play, pointing at the crowd. And all of a sudden, you see the wide receivers from the commanders running towards the end zone. So he's like, Oh, I should be part of this play. Then he runs over and tips the ball up in the air, which is a no-no.right.

To the commander. That's the no-no on the Hale Mary. You've got to bat it You don't tip it up. That's how you lose. But that was just one play of many this week, and this was by far the most positive reaction to the weekend. The studs on today's Studs & Duds episode, there's so many of them.

Yeah, because we had actual offense.

There was tons of offense. The Monday Punday submissions, which are normally entirely marked by people's fury and disappointment and sadness, to it, like an 80/20, flipped the other direction completely this morning.

A lot of people have it. I really think we should petition the NFL to make National Tied End Week every week.

What about other positions?

That's a good point. Yeah, National...

Quarterbackback Day, wide receiver day, runningback day.

National Running Back Reception Day. Oh, okay. Let's take it to the next level. You want to nuance this thing. Well, I want a fantasy this thing. I don't care about hand-offs.

National no kicker day? Yeah. All fourth downs?

I like it. The national go for it on fourth. Yeah. Yes, sir. But yesterday, 17 shutdowns to tight ends. How is that? For the record, we had been averaging 7. 7.4 touch downs to the tight-end position every week.

So it's all fixed?

I guess so.

Every tight-end is good?

Yeah, no, it's great.

Cool. I'll definitely consider the position settled on my roster.

We fixed it.

All All right. Like I said, you guys submitted your reactions to the weekend via pun, and we were happy to see how many positive ones there were. Let's jump in. I'll start it. Yes. With Ridley, believe it or not.

I don't like this one. Cedric Thrillman. Oh, I love it.

Droid me everywhere. Oh, Darnell, money.

Jason, I'll give you one of these, but Rad McConkey.

Glad McConkey, baby.

Oh, Cade, awesome.

Cade, awesome. That's pretty good. I also saw Ottenheimer. Oh. Not bad.

Oh.

To Infinity and Devon.

How about Jameis Winston?

Or, Whoa, Nix.

And yay flowers.

But they weren't all good.

No, no.

You had Bre small. Jack Poopscott? I like that.

And Troy Stankland.

Oh, Jason.

And This week, it was the no bone zone.

What? Another one? Hey, Poop Douglas. Am I just all the poop?

Tyler locked up.

Yeah, you got Jordan Badison. Fake London.

And my Personal favorite of the day, Rico Dayquil.

Rico Dayquil. Oh, man. Oh, that is... The stadium was fresh out of Dayquil.

That is a mystery, what's going on over there. Yeah, Dallas. Dallas tried to come back. They gave me a shot in our League of Records.

You mean CeeDee Lamb did? Yeah.

I went into the night needing 35 points or 34 and a half points from CeeDee Lamb, so I was passively watching the game. And all of a sudden, every time I looked over, CeeD was in the end zone. I lost by 0.9 with the second most point score in the league. So for those of you out there, because it was a big week, fantasy points-wise. So there were a lot of high scores, which means there There were people that were in that boat, the same boat that I was in, where you scored a ton of points and you still took an L. So I'm trying to focus on the fact that my team scored a lot of points, and there's a lot of football left. So there you go. Instagram @FancyFootballers, Twitter at the FF Ballers, if you want to submit your Monday Pundays for next week. Let's get into Ready to roll.

Welcome to Ready to Roll, presented by Nissan.

Eight weeks into the season, two months into the season, we have some data. We have some information. We know how things are going based on this draft strategy you might have selected. And one of the more popular, I guess, what would you call it? Like a detour strategy-wise?

It's a contrarian strategy from the general thinking and consensus, at least for how fantasy players have played historically. And I would say still, for the most part, they do.

So we're talking about zero R-B strategy, a theory that became in vogue years ago. Sean Siegel talking about avoiding fragility at the running back position, trying to find wide receivers, difference-making tight ends in the first six rounds, and then looking to the running back position later on in the draft.

Yeah, and there are- And the waiver wire. This is a method of drafting that absolutely can win, has won many huge tournaments A lot of times when you look at the big, massive tournament plays, zero R-B sometimes wins because the positive outcome on the best case scenario is massive. But some years, it works really, really well. Some years, it doesn't. And this year was very interesting leading in because there were so many wide receivers drafted in the first round. And usually, it's the inverse. Usually, it's all running backs and a couple wide receivers or a quarterback here or a tight in there.

It's often the pendulum swings based off of what happened last year. And last year, the running backs, the early round running backs, were extremely disappointing.

Our commentary on zero Rb today, reflecting on the data for two months is not meant to be any decisive commentary on whether it's a good or bad strategy each and every year, but rather point out a little bit of the vulnerability of the strategy, because we had several mock drafts that were run, and I'll point to one that Papa Josh did, where he navigated the zero ARB, and you looked at a draft that we did in the offseason where Harrison and Pukinaku to start the draft, Kyler Murray, Sam Laporta, and then Amari Cooper, Terry McLaurin. So you go six rounds, no running back, and then you turn your attention to starters that have opportunities.

And at the time when he made this draft, this was a really well-executed zero-RB example of trying to get the late-round runningbacks that might be better than you think.

But if you ended But he went four runningbacks at that point, rounds seven through 11. Zamir White, Zack Moss.

Nope. Jerome Ford.

It started okay for Zack Moss.

Jerome Ford, obviously, dealt with injury, some oddities with the playing time, and then Rico Dautil. I guess the point being, the way it's worked out this year, if you look at runningbacks taken round seven or later and the fancy points per game. There are a few. The Chuba Hubbard, Brian Robinson, Tony Pollard has been okay. J. K. Dobbins, you found late and found some opportunities.

Jordan Mason, if you happen to be drafting late enough to know, Elijah Mitchell was injured and Jordan Mason was going to be the guy.

The reality is that it was a little bit more threading the needle this year to get it right. It's tough because it's the hardest position to find on the waiver wire throughout the season to find long-term viability. Now, it looks like maybe Chuba will be that. Jonathan Brooks may not come back this year. Maybe Chuba Hubbard will be one of those few. But think about all the other names that people invested into that thought they might find that opportunity. You can look to rookies, right? You can look to Blake Coram and Trey Benson, who haven't been able to produce. You can look at Ty Chandler, who you thought was maybe going to get a 50/50 shot with Aaron Jones. Hasn't happened. Marshawn Lloyd, another rookie. Julio McGloughlin, a committee back that didn't work out. Jalen Warren hasn't been able to get it going. Echler not really getting it going. Tajay Spears. A lot of these zero-RB runningbacks this year, round seven or later? It hasn't worked out. And on the other side of the coin, the teams that are winning right now, they've got those foundational backs that were invested into. The Saquon Barclays, Jamir Eric Gibbs, Henry, Kyren, Jacobs, the top-tier runningbacks for the most part have stayed healthy.

There have been misses.

Yeah. I mean, a lot of the injuries at the top, A. J. Brown missed the month. Puka was bad. Harrison has been a disappointment. It's just flipped this year. But I would say if we want to be prescriptive a little bit and talk about when it works versus when it doesn't, I want to remember how the whole point, the entire point of what allows zero Rb to really smash. If five people in your league are doing zero Rb, it's not going to work. The thing is, is while everyone is loading up on these running backs and allowing superstar wide receivers to drop, and you can take stud, stud, and you just match the button on incredible depth at that position, and then fill it in later. That's helpful. But this year, it wasn't that way. People weren't letting stud wide receivers drop to the one, two turn. The guys that on previous seasons, we were getting at the one, two turn were the wide receiver four or five, or the wide receiver four and five there. And then this year is like, you're getting the wide receiver nine, 10 by ADP. So I would say, look, like you said, Mike, usually next year's ADP is going to be based on what happens this year.

The runningbacks, they will rock it up. And so if next year it flips, ironically, people will not want to do zero Rb because of the failure of this season. And that's when you probably want to take your shot.

We did have some of the anti-fragility stuff. It didn't work out in the wide receiver's favor this year. Aj Brown, Pukun Nakuha, Cooper Cupp, those were top-tier wide receivers. Tyreek Hill lost his quarterback. Marvin Harrison started slow, maybe is still starting slow. A lot of those big names didn't offer you the consistency you hoped for.

Yeah, at the top of the wide receiver draft is wild. I'm going to be excited at the end of the season to look at the actual bust rate, the consistency rate of these early wide receiver who are... Historically, an early wide receiver is a great bet, a slightly higher hit rate than the early round runningbacks. But it feels like it is completely upside down. On top of that, the early round tight ends. It's like if you took Kelsey, Laporta, Andrews, Kincaid, those are the early tight ends. Those guys are not providing a positional advantage. At least, Kelsey, it's a lot better now. But they're just saying, Over the course of the season, you're not happy with those draft picks. And the same for the quarterback, where Allen has been very hot-cold. Jalen Hertz had a lull at the beginning of the year. Mahomes is a catastrophe. It's like if you got Lamar out of that fourth back, then you're super pumped that you went that direction. So it's just this year is really strange that the early runningbacks are crushing and the early Probably other positions are not.

And the truth is, if it goes bad for a zero R&B, it can go really, really bad because you need to be able to buy... It gains strength as the season goes on, so you need to be able to buy some wins early on the back of the wide receiver and tight end and those piecemeal players before you can go and acquire. You can invest a lot of FAB in solidifying your running back position or trying to. Could have gone out and spent for Kareem Hunt or somebody like that. But if you start two and five, that's That's a tough battle back into contention. We just wanted to illustrate what happened this year and shine a light onto the way zero RBS panned out for a lot of people this year.

End of season is going to be very interesting to see what it looks like compared to a couple of years ago.

News and notes from Around the League, presented by USAA Insurance.

The weekend was not without its injuries. Stefan Diggs, noncontact, right knee injury. Have you heard any updates?

I haven't heard any updates, but usually when you see that, I could think of one example where I remember it looked like it be season in or it wasn't, but this is usually-Yeah, we've seen this play before. Yeah, it's so common. When you're not contacted and your knee goes out, that means you probably torn an ACL. We don't have reporting on that yet, but as of this moment, I am assuming Stefan Diggs is done for the season.

Christian Kirk out for the year with a fractured collarbone. Brian Thomas Jr. Left early in the game against the packers with a injury, having an MRI. They're looking for fractures. Gabe Davis, their other wide receiver, exited in the second quarter with a shoulder injury that he re-aggraved. He didn't return. Jacksonville's wide receiver court potentially wiped out in one week.

Evan Ingram is the new David Najoku. That Jags-Packer game.

And that went down to the wire.

For fantasy purposes, I mean, things really screwed up there. Things did not go according to plan.

Jordan Love Unfortunately, he got hurt. And he got hurt early in the game. We were watching. I know he was playing poorly before he left the game and didn't come back, but he was injured early in that game. I mean, we saw it. And his passes, his throws, his mobility while he was playing what little of the game left before he exited, he was not himself.

And so- He missed almost the second half, right?

Yeah. I mean, he missed a bunch, but I know people were- He left in the third.

Malik Willis came in.

People were upset that he hadn't done much to that point. And it was like he got injured. I mean, we were watching. The whole game was like, oh, my gosh, he is dealing with something.

In the big divisional matchup with the Lions, he's in jeopardy of missing next week. Drake May left with a concussion, did not return. Kendre Miller left with a hamphering injury.

Oh, my goodness gracious. I hadn't seen that yet. No, for real?

Oh, man. Dennis, your favorite guy got hurt again.

I noticed that the Saints thermometer behind you that threatened your head. My luscious locks. Your luscious locks. It was supposed to fill up to 10 wins, and then we'd shave your head on the air. It is still at the point where we stuck it on the wall.

Here's the thing. They got two wins on the season, and they need eight more to shave my head. There are nine total games left for the Saints. Now, I got good news for you, Saints fans. You play the Panthers this week.

What if we combine it?

So maybe you get one more.

Can we combine it with the Jets and see if both teams combine for 10 wins?

Yeah, sure.

We're going to have to tear this thing off the wall. Remember last week when I said on the show, What if they lose this game? About the Jets? Do you remember that? I was like, What if they lose this game to New England?

It happened. It happened in unbelievable fashion, where they held the opponent under 250 yards. They did not turn the ball over. I believe that it's something like 750 and 0 when those two statistics are true since 1970. I don't know what happened. They still lost the game.

It's a mystery to all.

Jets fans know what happened.

What happened?

They're the Jets. They're cursed. It's like some franchises. Yes. You just know. You're pessimistic. Look, as a Cardinals fan, I know we're sitting top of the division, but we the curse. We're number one in the division. I'm fully expecting everything to go bad because I know it will. It's like some franchises are just meant to lose. I'm sorry, Jets fans. I wish that it was- Can they move on to another team?

Because this has got to be the most painful season.

No. If you're a Jets fan, you got to stay a Jets fan. You got to keep hoping and riding the wave. I mean, the older Joe I'm happy about- Remember Joe named it, though?

That was cool.

Yeah, he predicted it.

The only thing I'm happy about because I am sad for Jets fans. Super Bowl 3. Jets fans deserve some happiness. I know I dunk on the Jets a lot, but that's really an Aaron. It's not a Jets thing. That's an Aaron Rodgers thing. I like dunking on Aaron Rodgers and his whiny face. I think if Jets fans are being honest with themselves, they get it. They're like, Yeah, I get it. I watch them.

Whose fault was this one, you think Rodgers thinks?

Everyone else's.

Kendry Miller, like I said, he left early. He'll probably be in the dog house for that. What a loser.

He looked great on two different runs that did not count and were both called back.

Jordan Mason aggravated his shoulder injury. They said maybe he could have come into the game.

At this point, it doesn't matter. Christian McCaffer is expected to practice during the team's week nine by, so they are gone. They're on by. So if you had Mason, say bye.

That was so brutal of him leaving the game two weeks ago with a shoulder injury. Then he plays after After feeling really uncomfortable about the start, makes it through. You got to feel great going against the Dallas Cowboys rushing defense. Look at Isaac Garendo, the rookie who dominated them. I started Mason in multiple places, and that was brutal.

Who wouldn't have?

That's just brutal.

That's the process. I think there's going to be a lot of questions now with either picking up Garendo or just dropping Jordan Mason because the expectation is, Christian McAfee is going to be back in week 10. That is the expectation that is not a guarantee. And then they're on by this week. And I would say, in general, unless you absolutely have to have a roster spot, and you're going to basically... I would try to not move on. We do not know. I'm not driving, Mason. Yeah, exactly. We do not know that Christian McAfee, despite the fact that they... They also said that he would be ready for week one. Yes, remember that.

Ready in the utilization levels. And we've had seasons in fantasy where Elijah Mitchell was still getting work with Christian McCaffrey on the field. Mason should be rostered and stay rostered. Debo, Samuel left early due to a rib injury. So don't... Juan Jennings missed this week. He gets the bye week to recover. Ayouk is not coming back. Just keep that in the back of your head, because I would have a hard time believing if somebody spin up on Juan Jennings this past week, he ends up out. They've got another week they got to worry about. He's going to hit a lot of waiver wires, Justin, under the radar. If you're already in contention, you don't need to start somebody. Pay attention to him, and we'll talk about it on the waiver show tomorrow. And Mike, Rico Dado left. No, he didn't leave. He was inactive due to an illness. Wink. He didn't have the- You don't think he was an illness?

I only say that because of what's coming out from Cowboys Beat reporters on Twitter. They're all saying it without saying it. I was like, Rico Dado was here. He was signing an photographs. I didn't see anything. It must really happen in the locker room.

Was he drinking on the sidelines?

No, he wasn't.

Like Dalvin Cook?

I'm not really sure.

We don't know what he was drinking.

Look, that could have been Hydration. That could have been 99 Bananas.

Who's to say? That came straight from the mini bar, man.

It could have been a little juice shot.

A little juice shot in a glass bottle? Yeah. Show me one of those.

We're not sure what that was.

No, it was clear.

But the point being-Clear juice. Plenty of them. It's plenty of beat report.

Strong argument.

It was white grape juice in a little glass bottle.

Plenty of beat report. He's just saying it was a weird situation. They didn't see him being- He's probably frustrated. Any ill. Look, in And then, I have a cook.

Played great, guys. Is that... Yeah. Yeah.

But Zeke played really, really well, too.

Zeke actually did look pretty good on a couple. No, he did not. Yes, he did. No, he did. There were a couple of carries where he looked all right.

Yes. When It's like second and long, and they're like, There's no way they're going to run this ball. And then they run it, and he gets a six-yard gain. You're like, Well, yeah, of course.

They both looked awful. The Cowboys' Run game is nonexistent. They need a real player in there. That real player probably still isn't Rico Dautil, but he is the best of the three. But they're probably not going to use him. Going back to Dalvin Cook's drinking, do you guys remember the video where Payton Manning is interviewing Marshawn Lynch? Oh, yes. So Payton Manning is interviewing Marshawn Lynch. This is post-career. He's just like, What was your pre-game warmup? Or whatever. He tells Payton Manning, he's like, Well, every day before the game, I'll take a shot. Payton, I think it seemed like he genuinely thought like, What? What a needle.

He's like, Tortier, he's going to be throwing out all the medicines that the pain juice that they get.

People get an injection. I didn't think it was like Hennessy.

Yeah. He's like, Well, where do you get that?

He's like, From my backpack.

Marshawn, man. One of a kind.

Oh, my gosh. All right. That was today's news and notes presented by USA Insurance. Learn more at usaa. Com/insurance. We'll take a break. We'll hit the studs. I'm pretty sure Cowboys fans were just past the bottle. You know what I mean?

Right.

It's like watching...

That team looks- That offense was broken for three quarters. I kept messaging our company slack. What is this offense? It's just dumping the ball off to Jake Ferguson, who's two yards away from him, and then getting throttled.

I did agree with this commentator last night. That pointed out the fact that Dak cannot move the way he used to move. And I think that that has played a role right now in moving in the pocket, getting outside the pocket, taking the five or six free yards. To me, he just looks bigger.

He look like he's not sleeping well?

He's not sleeping well?

Is this a sleep number?

I'm just asking questions.

Man, maybe the sleep number is not doing the job. Got to go pod 4.

I didn't say... I asked questions over here, guys.

Listen. He is on pace right now through six games. I don't want to count this last week because he had negative one rushing yard. Okay, so I'm going to take that out, even though that should exist. Wait.

This Yes. You're taking out the one he just played?

I'm taking out the one he just played prior to this week because you talked about... I mean, you saw in that game, he didn't run. He was immobile. The previous six games, what do you think Dak Prescott's 17-game pace of total rushing yards is? And to give you context for his career, last season, he was at 242.

Yeah, he's a couple of hundred yards guy.

I would have guessed, having no context because I wasn't paying attention. I would have guessed 200.

Yeah, I had the same.

I Probably would have as well. Without the negative one rushing yard yesterday, he was on pace for 70 total rushing yards. That's not even a-In the course of the season, that's big bin.

That just adds more fuel to what we were seeing. This was my fear about them not being able to repeat what they did as an offense last year, is that there seems to be more dysfunction to the offense right now than there was last year from a play calling, functionality, frustration standpoint.

I will say this. They did play a very good San Francisco 49ers team on the road. It's not always going to be easy. I mean, Dak Prescott this season against Baltimore was the quarterback one on the week. It's not like he's going to disappear. Going forward, Atlanta, Philly, the Texans, the Commanders. I think there's a good stretch run ahead of passing defense.

They are.

I don't know if I like those last three, though.

They're two and a half point dogs right now on the road against Atlanta for this.

Yeah. All right, let's talk about some of the good that happened this weekend.

This week's fantasy stud muffins.

It's not going to be possible for me to get into every name of every player that did well. No. But I want... This week- But I want... Go ahead.

Yeah, I was just saying this week, there's too many people that went nuclear.

But I want you to focus on some of the names that might be prescriptive or interesting. The top five scores at the quarterback position were Jalen Hertz, Bo Nicks, Kirek Cousins, Brock Purdy, and Matthew Stafford. Hertz was such a slow start to this game. Ends up with three rushing touchdowns.

Three rushing touchdowns on a bomb touchdance that was awesome to Devante Smith. Devante Smith. He ended up having just an outstanding game. I really wanted to discuss Bo Nicks because Bo Nicks has been really good on this season. He's the 10 right now, and that's despite starting really poor. Like the first month of the season, he didn't look good. He couldn't connect on anything down the field. Three of the last four weeks, the second month of his career, he's been a top 10 quarterback, barring Monday Night Football, although he's the quarterback, too, right now.

He's going to stay in the top 10, I think.

He's going to stay in the top 10.

Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Carolina. So I would point out that if you want to find a trend there, home games. Yes. Those were his three top 10 games were at home.

And not the hardest defense.

No. And what's wild is, and this is anecdotal from watching the games every week, I feel like Denver has the ball the entire game. That's how it's felt. The past attempts this past week, 37. I just feel like they have the ball the whole game. Their defense is very good. He has to go on the road against Baltimore, Kansas City, the next two weeks.

Yeah, Kansas City, I am definitely afraid of. Baltimore, I'm not. Baltimore is actually- Yeah, they're giving it up to the quarterback. They really are. They're 30th on the season of fantasy points given up to quarterback, so I'm not too worried. I do think we need to... The reason I bring up Bo Nicks is because people don't view him enough as the dual threat that he is. We don't have any problem playing Jaden Daniels from before week one coming in because we know he's a crazy dual threat guy that could run for north of 500 yards. Maybe he runs for 700, 800 yards. That's amazing. And Bo Nicks is not the runner that Jaden Daniels is. Jaden Daniels is starting to look like he's in the Lamar Jackson tier of four people in history. But right now, Bo Nicks is on pace for over 540 50 rushing yards.

Even with a down week.

Even with a down rushing week. So this is a dual threat quarterback, and that's going to raise your floor quite a bit.

Yeah. He does have to throw it to Troy Franklin, though.

Papa Josh. He doesn't have to. He didn't really do.

He didn't throw it to Franklin yesterday, and it didn't bother him at all because he was slinging it to anyone and everyone. But Papa Josh, mad props this week. You traded for Anthony Richardson from my team. I got rid of that fool for $2 a fab. But then despite doing that, you went to the waiver wire, picked up, and played Bo Nicks over Anthony Richardson.

Very good move. He wanted to play my stream against me.

That is fair. That was your stream of the week.

Cousins was Jason's, and Cousins had a great game. We finally They got another big-time game from Kirk Cousins, 23 for 29.

Does he play Tampa anymore?

You know what? I guess I'm going to have to apply there. Not this year. He doesn't get to play Dallas's defense. Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford, Lamar. It was a struggle for Lamar. They lost the game, but he put together a good fantasy week. Herbert threw for almost 300 again.

Wait, Baltimore didn't lose the game. They played against the Browns. The Browns can't score 20 points this season. They're one and five.

They He had to rely on their backup quarterback, a little known, a quarterback named Jameis Winston, who I like this. Somebody pointed out that Jameis Winston, when he gets to speak to the media, always looks like he's reading a line from an inspirational movie that he's been practicing really hard in the mirror.

Yeah, he is a character, man. I love that guy.

He is- Play for the name on your helmet. Oh, wait, there's no decal on my helmet. I love him.

But it is so interesting that the team that was one and five hadn't scored 20 points this season, puts up 29 against Baltimore as soon as they moved to the backup due to injury. And now you've got the Browns, and you're going, They're interesting. They lose Amari Cooper, and it was fine because they had such an improvement of quarterback.

It just shows you how good Amari Cooper would have been on the Really? He could have been sent to a purgatory right now. We'll see. I'm telling you, as someone who has Dalton Kincaid, who, praise God, he got into the end zone. But as somebody who has watched this team week after week after week, if they could throw it zero times, I swear they would. I swear they would. It hurts them to throw the football or something. And Amartya Cooper had a disastrous week. We'll talk about it later. Now, going into Of the week, I think a lot of people were off of Baker Mayfield. But if I had told you before the week began that he would have 50 passing attempts, I believe that that narrative would have changed.

It would.

We did say that we thought he'd be better than people expected. The headline is, You Lose Godwin and Evans, but Baker has been good independent of them.

Yeah, he's been a top eight quarterback in all but one game. And this game, the first one we've seen without those two star wide receivers, he puts up 300 330 and three. Now, he did throw two picks, but 333 and three with backups is amazing because laser has been awesome. I would bench him against Kansas City.

Yeah, on the road against the Chiefs.

Jaden Daniels, Hale married his way to a productive day. He fought through an injury. And then Kyler Murray on the road winning back-to-back games for the first time. Good for you, Kyler. And one thing to point out, Arizona's offensive has not given up a sack for three consecutive games.

Now, to finish your sentence, for the first time in 25 games.

Yes, sorry. Kyler had not won back-to-back games in years. And going east, the Cardinals have struggled. And then they end up winning another game and lead the division and have a better seed than the packers.

Well, the packers right now, they're not a division winner, but the Cardinals are. So how does that make you feel, Al? Okay. Okay, he can't talk. Very good. Also, Falcon, how about your Niners would not be in the in the playouts right now while you look up at the awesome car long season?

Look straight up long season.

I got to dunk now because I can't A month later.

Enjoy this.

Running back studs this week. Top five score is James Cooke, two touch downs. Josh Jacobs, getting it done. Devon Achan, welcome back.

Baby, that's my guy.

Ramondre, Two touch downs.

Ramondre is in this list.

It's so stupid. I moved Ramondre into my lineup and placed the Chuba Hubbard moments before a kickoff.

Which I agreed with... I answered that one on- Did you? Yeah, Sunday Live. I'm like, I'm not playing Chuba. I'm going to play these gross running backs. And Ramondre had 23 opportunities. He carried the ball 20 times on the ground for 40, 80 yards.

Zeke's like, What's wrong with that?

Yeah. No, maybe- Zeke's like, What are you talking about? That is amazing.

Joe Mixon, baby. 21 points.

Joe Mixon is just unstable.

I think 8chan is the headline there, 10 for 97, 8 targets with Tua. The offense had meaningful fantasy players once again. We are back.

Yeah, I mean, the running game opens up. I talked about this at Nassian. And most are two touch downs. Yeah, most are two touch downs. The fact that the running back behind the line of scrimage is not running against 11 people when Tua is there with the weapons they have in Tyreek and Jalen Waddle. It's a completely different defense, and Devan Echan is not meant to go up against stacked boxes. What he's meant to do is catch the ball running full speed. And if you If you just look at his three starts with Tua, forget the rushing work, which he's been very good. Just give me his fantasy point. His reception pace in the three starts with Tua would be 113 receptions for 1100 receiving yards and 11 receiving touch downs. That's a wide receiver one. And then you add on the rushing work. Basically, he's averaging 23.1 PPR points per game with Tua.

Look, you can make fun of Ramondre, but the opportunities were there on a team that has proven they're going to give them to Ramondre. For the third consecutive game, Antonio Gibson was under 1.5 a carry. Yeah, he was atrocious. Shut up.

I'm still mad at Andy for having Raheem Moster, Ramondre Stevenson, and Cedric Tillman put up... That was the trash part of his lineup, but they put up six touch downs on me.

Mike, I'm not sure you're aware, but Jason and I- I'm aware.played each other in dynasty. I am aware. Things went the way they went.

Ramondre with that line, it's unbelievable. What was Gibson running at?

Five carries for six yards, 1.2 a carry.

Yeah, so that's atrocious. And Ramondre is at what? 2.6 or 2.4?

That's double. It is.

They got a problem.

Look, DeAndre Swift, it was a slow start. It was a fast finish. He keeps dominating. Jason started the week, DeAndre Swift, plays Arizona next week. You can start him up.

Yeah, he'll be all right.

And then Jonathan Taylor, back from the waiver, or back from the injury lift.

He is so good. He looked That's amazing. I mean, there were plays that just... The play was not there. He made the play. He chunked 10 or 11 yards here, there, all over the place. He was the best part of this offense. Anthony Richardson looks-The fact there were three points away from a win when Richardson went 10 for 32 from the pocket. I thought for sure they were going to win when that fumble recovery ran back for a breakdown. And on the field, I believe it was not blown dead at the fumble spot. On review, they brought it back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But at that point, it looked like the Colts were going to win, and Anthony Richardson was going to win another game he did not deserve to win.

Anthony Richerson, we'll talk about him, I promise. Yeah. Isaac Grindo, 14 for 85 in a countdown. Mason went out hurt, and most are two touch downs. Not efficient on the ground, but it says something that he's the goal line back there in Miami. It does. From a week-to-week standpoint. Here we go. Wide receiver, top five of the week, CeeD Lamb, Lad McConkey, Cedric Tillman, Josh Downs. This feels like a magic trick to put up 20 plus points on 10 completions from your quarterback. Marvin Harrison, baby. Number five. Nice to see.

Josh Downs. I think it's important for people listening that you've seen good stat lines from Josh Downs. For the majority of the time he's him playing, and now you watch him with Anthony Richardson, put up 20.2, and you're going to say, I need to start him. You do not need to start him. His big bomb shutdown- Can you start?

I think I would.man, I'm willing now.

Did you see the big bomb touch down? It was basically a broken play where he was... Yes, Anthony Richardson connected with him, but he had half of the field to himself. Yeah, he did. He could have got a wheelchair out and wheeled himself in the last 20 yards.

Here's the only reason why I said that is because they get to play the juiciest pass funnel defense in National Football League this next week. I agree with you in principle on the year round. I think on a one-week basis, you could go back to him. It was nine targets, right? You can have a broken play, but nine targets against the number one pass funnel defense.

He is a good player.

Yeah. I mean, he's their best receiver by a lot, in my opinion.

He can actually get downfield.

Well, and he's just constant separation. Lad McConkey, 6 for 111 and two. They're throwing the football a lot right now, and McConkey got it done, had a big breakdown, like a long one in this game. He's sitting at wide receiver 20. This is exciting because you have rookie wide receiver that it normally takes time to get going. And if this team can't run like they want to, which they right now. Like J. K. Dobbins, he's not having a big play anymore. It means they're throwing the football a little bit. Their defense is giving up more points. Marvin Harrison, 6 for 111, and a countdown. Hello.

He caught his passes.

That was the big thing. It's one of the keys. It's super important, but over the course of the season leading up to this, he was like a 50%, maybe even below 50% catch rate. He was out of sync with Kyler, and some of the catches that were in sync were just dropped. This game, I guess, he told himself he has to catch these because there were some difficult catches. It felt like, why is every Marvin Harrison catch have to be so hard? It doesn't.

Look at Super All-star wide receiver's around the league, yet they make those. But it doesn't have to be every catch.

That being said, it is nice to see him have a big game, catch passes, be more in sync. And so it's arrow up for a great rookie rookie. If it wasn't for Malik Nabors doing what he had done to start the season, and the draft cost of where you spent up for Marvin Harrison, he's having a very good rookie season. It just doesn't feel like it because of those other two factors.

And I think it's going to feel more like it soon. Cardals have a couple of home games, Marvin and him getting on the same page. 15 targets, 10 catches, 143.

Who's that, Andy?

Super Superstar Calvin Ridley, everybody.

With Mason Rudolf.

You just had to get DeAndre Hopkins out of the locker room, that locker room cancered DeAndre Hopkins.

Look, this was a game for a couple of seconds.

I will Dance? Well, I can dance. But 15 targets is going to get it done every single week. I can tell you that.

You had 100 yards in the first quarter.

It was really, in my heart, not a dance party. It It was an exhale. It was not a victory lap. It's one week. It was an exhale because- Hey, it's possible. I didn't have to bring the name up as a second-half sleeper. And I'm thankful that... Look, from my mentions, people did pick them up and play it. That was the cool thing to see, is that some people benefited from this. They didn't just all have them on the bench. It was a week where a lot of wide receivers performed. But this is important for the confidence level of Calvin Ridley, the $90 million man on this team that got boat raced by Detroit. Maybe Calvin Ridley will be consistent for you.

Maybe. I would say without Hopkins there, just like we saw at the very beginning of the season where he was a heavier target, bright days are ahead for Calvin Ridley. It's all going to still come down to the quarterback play. And I don't know if Mason Rudolf, who started the game looking really, really good, this was a game where it was tied 14 to 14. I mean, it was like, Oh, my gosh. What did it end?

What was the final score?

Are the Titans going to win this game? Are they going to make it better?

It was not 14 to 14.

Well, it was 14 to 52.

You might say at the end, yeah.

I believe that the Lions had 40 plus points when Jared Goff had 30 passing yards. For real? Yeah. I think he was at 40.

You don't know the Goff line?

I think he was at 42 passing yards. No.

Goff completed 12 passes for 85 yards.

With 52 points. And three passing touchstones.

Oh, yeah. Those passing touchstones were annoying because they used the, You know where the lions and we're going to run the football against the opposition, and they were at the goal line multiple times. And it was Brock Wright, it was Sam Laporta, it was Kalief Raymond, and they would just fake it to the Montgomery-Gibbs who could have had even bigger games.

I forgot Montgomery through one of the touch downs as well.

That's true. Yes. Devante Smith, big bounceback game. Jason has been really loud in reminding you that he's going to be fine. There were people that, after one bad week, wanted to give up on Devante Smith, which was wild.

Half PPR last week was terrible. Last week, he had one catch. He did nothing. But outside of that single week, he hasn't been single-digit fantasy points at all. He's double-digit or better than half PPR. That's a great barometer. He's literally on our consistency score. He's an A. So don't move off of an A.

Tied in studs this week. Kate Otton, 24.6 points. Looked great. It was a big week for the tight-in. Scott Hansen said it over 4,000 times during Red Zone that it was National Tied-in Day. Scott Pianowski pointed out, In week one, a 4 for 45 line would have made you the tight-in seven on the week. This week, that made you the tight in 24. That's how many big performances there were. Kyle Pitz, 23.1, almost made the biggest mistake.

One and a half touch downs.

Almost made the biggest mistake ever going into the end zone.

Not almost. He definitely did. Got lucky. The mistake is that the multibillion dollar Corporation that is the NFL, they can't possibly have a camera down the line. Just point it down the sideline.

What in the heck are you doing? What in the heck? Four cameras. Okay. Spin up, NFL. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, four? Four cameras, one from each direction on the side. You know where the goal line is. It's not moving. You can tripod this thing.

Where's the other two cameras?

I'm saying each goal line, you can have them going down the line in both directions. At the end of your camera- You think we were suggesting only pick one of the end zones? No, I'm saying it's not even good enough. Only the north side. Because they only put a camera. Even when they have the goal line camera, they only have it on one side of the field. I want Every time I look at the goal line down the line angle, I want to see a camera on the other side.

They should have lasers on the cameras. Yes. And they should have the high-speed ones that they use. And what's the TV show where they just test stuff all the time?

Myth Busters.

Myth Busters. Give me high speed, high resolution. Get Nolan out here to film. Christopher? Yeah, get him to film the goal.

I mean, we have lots of money. You guys can spend.

We've been in headquarters. You got bidets on every toilet.

Oh, my gosh. It's your NFL headquarters. You're doing great work there. Outstanding property.

The ATMs there don't require a pin code.

You're just like, Hey, you need some money? Yeah. Go buy some cameras.

Yeah. All right. Listen, listen.

For a stadium.

Kyle Pitz has been great.

He has.

He was already the tight in four before this week. George Kittle keeps getting it done. Kelsey, the big game. Super glad it was against me, finally. That was fun. Trey McBride.

Can we get Trey McBride a breakdown?

He was awesome in this game.

For crying out loud.

No, we cannot. He was awesome. He was a go-to target. 11 targets, 9 for 124. Absolutely outstanding game. Maybe the best performance of the week, except no touch-up.

The dude is currently, what I'm seeing here, he's missed a game. Some teams have had a buy week, but he has played seven games, zero touch-up, and is the tight-end four on this season. Just give him a couple.

He would be crushing everybody. He's definitely third in the packing order around the red zone right now because Connor, they like to hand the ball up, and then Harrison. But he's going to get in there. Michael Wilson got hurt this week. It didn't look great to me. Could have been a multi-week ankle sprain. I don't have an update there, but the tight ends got it done. We got to take a break and get into the duds. Breaking news, by the way, McBride still didn't get into the end zone. Over the break?

No, he didn't. But before you move on, you have to read the name that's right after Trey McBride in the dark.

I knew you weren't letting him move on.

No, absolutely not. Four for 85 in a Oh, he took advantage of the injury to the starter.

Adam Troutman, 4 for 85. Yeah, they did- Four years too early. I believe Croll. Lucas Croll went out hurt. Lucas Kroll had been getting some snaps.

Yeah, but he's not putting up 4 for 85 in his score.

Against Carolina.

Unleashed the fish, man. Oh, my gosh.

He'll take a walk. That is very funny.

Also, on the course of the season prior to this game, he had a 17-game pace of 77 yards.

Well, he beat that in one game now, didn't he?

Okay, he sure did. Pooped in his big boy pants.

Look, this could not have been more appropriate for Caleb Williams. The big boy pants had been fitted, and he went out there and had a stinker of a game against Washington, 10 for 24, 131 yards. It was a regression type of game. Washington's defense, though- That's the question.

We mentioned this.

That's the question. I mean, they have been getting 5% better per week. They might have gotten 10% better in this game. He was not leading drives, not getting first downs. It was 33 passing yards in the first half.

What was crazy. So the drive to take the lead and win, he looked pretty good. It was the only time in the entire game he looked... Most of his stats came from that. I think it was like, fourth quarter, and we were talking about how he had three completions. What? That seems impossible. It was a putrid game for him. And so the nice thing is we've seen the flashes of We've seen great games put together. I know it's really, really tough because a lot of people started him in this matchup. You expected that high, over, under. And instead, this game was so important between Caleb and Jaden. The defense has stepped up, and it was a slugfest.

Joe Burrow without Tee Higgins. Solid start to the game, and then it went south quickly. He only ended up with 234 and one. C. J. Stroud, one touch down, 285 yards.

What do you do now?

Well, now you've lost Diggs.

Next week is on the road against the Jets. There will be no Nico, which we've heard Nico's on track for week 10.

Have people been playing Stroud?

Of course people have been playing Stroud. I had him as a starter of the week this week against Indy, where against Indy early in the season, he was the quarterback eight.

I mean, this is not a player that's been consistent at all going back to last year for fantasy. I mean, he's an F in our consistency ranking. He has two games We've been happy with this year, both with Nico. In weeks one and four, you've got to push him to the side right now.

I agree. I don't think you can start him right now, especially this week. You look at him as a streaming option. But this week, without Stefan Diggs, without Nico Collins, you put Sauce Gardner on Tank Del by himself, and all of a sudden, that's a match-up you don't want to put.

Don't forget they have the slowest player in the NFL not contributing on a weekly basis. Dalton Schultz, what's up?

So on the web portal- I can say anything I want about him, by the way, because he can't catch me. On the web version of Sleeper, I see numbers of C. J. Stroud is 98% rostered and 79% started.

Yeah, that's 79% too many.

I'm just saying It's next week is a bench for sure.

Here's a hot tip. Don't start somebody from that division. Just don't start them at a quarterback. Everybody in the division should not be starting at a quarterback.

I've got a better question for you. Rest of season.

Bo Nicks.

No, That's easy. I'm making it hard. C. J. Stroud or Patrick Mahomes? Mahomes.

Yeah, I'd take Mahomes.

My stream of the week, by the way. That's not hard. Superstar Patrick Mahomes. No, that's not hard for me.

He's been so bad.

I mean, if Nico comes back, Stroud will be better. But look, this team, they won the game. They have Joe Mixon. They are a running football team. Joe Mixon has been a top five running back. Every week, he started.

Joe Mixon is the running back two in points per game just behind Derek Henry.

Anthony Richardson, 10 for 32, passing.

31 % completion rate, huh?

Yeah. And you need to be 60 plus % to be a top 10 fantasy quarterback. He's almost there. He's at 31 %. His efficiency and performance at the position... By the way, he took a play off because he was tired in this game.

That was unbelievable. Unbelievable to me that afterwards, Anthony Richardson came out and they asked... Because he He missed a play, and we thought maybe he hurt himself on a run. He said he called himself out and told the coach he's tired. He needs a play. You're a quarterback. You see Lamar Jackson after a big long run being like, I need a breather. Give me a freaking break.

This is the biggest quarterback bust in the league. This is the biggest dynasty freak out that you're ever going to have. This is a quarterback that has been outside the top 20 at the position five straight weeks. He ranks two- Look, he has two good passes on the gear. They were both in week one. That's my opinion on Anthony Richardson.

Hitting downs this week was pretty good.

A meaningful for fantasy. I'm sorry. Yeah. I mean, the downs play, yes, you're right.

Anthony Richardson ranks 226 Second in completion rate.

Okay, let me write this down. 222.

Out of 225 quarterbacks that have 250 plus dropbacks since the year 2000.

You cannot. Has your opinion changed on the debate? Because you said you have to develop Anthony Richardson. Now, that can be done on the field, but that would be the argument for every player that's played too soon in history.

Yes, my opinion has changed. You develop him on the side.

Yeah, 44% completion percentage cannot be a starting quarterback.

That's what he is, by the way. Here's what you do. You don't develop him with... You're not watching film and breaking that down as much as maybe you need. What I would do is get him target practice. I'd build a field over to the side where you can take snaps and hit a target.

And I genuinely, I'd love to see him succeed. His physical gifts and tools are amazing. I'm not trying to... My agenda to hear is not to talk ill of this person forever. I hope he can develop, but he wasn't ready to be a quarterback. Mike, during the draft season, we talked about him as a prospect.

I hated it.

There's just some basic lines you have to cross to be able to stay quarterback in the NFL. And a 44% completion percentage, it doesn't matter how much you run. We've seen this now. Justin Fields has lost his job in two places. Justin Fields can run the football, right? Deshawn Kaiser could run the football. There were players that are mobile, but he is one spot ahead of Tim Tebo on that list. Tim Tebo was 223.

Oh, that's not even a joke. You're saying that was an actual real thing.

Out of 225 Five.

Hey, Tim Tebo won games, won a playoff game.

Yeah, and Richardson can win a game with one big play and running the football.

Jeremy brings up a good point here.

Jaden's VR- Jaden Daniels uses VR to practice.

Are they just really loud about it, and other people are doing it, or they're the only team? Obviously, it's not just the VR, but you can't rule out that this thing is helping.

I'm not sure the VR is going to fix the mechanics. It'll fix processing, but I don't think it's going to fix your mechanics.

Processing, I think, is the hardest thing to fix, though. Being able to read the defense really fast.

What about throwing the ball to that spot over there?

That's the thing that I think you can actually... Good coaches can fix that, where processing is- I thought accuracy was not the thing that you can fix.

That's been the story with... That's what made Josh Allen so wildly supportive He's surprising in Lamar Jackson's attention.

It's extremely difficult to fix it. But I don't know. I don't know enough about quarterback play to tell you what Anthony Richards is doing, and this is what's wrong.

Well, if he just after practice goes to Dave and Busters, It just works on the little machine where it's got the holes.

But those are tiny footballs. You need a machine like that, but it's the big- With bigger clients.

It's a Duke. He can bring his own footballs.

It would break the machine. It would not break.

He could break the machine with the small ones. I I did ruminate on something. You know how we've had these discussions about the scripted plays and the jokes about why don't we script more? I think I finally figured out, and this is not rocket science here, but I figured out why they can't do that. They can't practice enough. Because the script is not what I've written down on a piece of paper. It's what I've practiced. They go out there and they execute the 20 plays or the 15 plays because that's all they have time. They don't let them practice that much.

You know what I would do then? I'd run those 20 again. No, just repeat it. All right, we're going back to the beginning. Until they catch on.

No, they should snake-draft it. Just do the plays in reverse order on the way back.

Exactly. Just flip them all. You know what I mean? Do the same thing, but Oh, I know. Now mirror it.

Audible, right trigger, and then you hit the mirror.

Exactly. Gino had a horrible game. It was not going to be good without Dike. We knew it. This was predictable.

We said it. Buffalo's good defense. Also, a lot of bit rain in that game, so throw that one out.

Do we have a boo button? Because I've not seen a stat line this bad.

Kenneth-no, no, no, no, no, Cappino's head. Way over.

It was like 30 yards or so.

Kenneth Walker has to be the one to go pick it up, and he gets 10 yards back.

But he lost like 20.

But on the play- It was a negative 19-yard run.

With nine carries, though. Did we not read the no bone zone?

No, here's what happened in this game. So yes, Mike is right. He got a negative 20-yard play where he had a good play. He picked up extra yards, and it just counted against him. So that stinks. What else happened is this game got out of hand pretty quickly. And later in the game, they just went to sharpen it. They charbed it up. They carved it up, and they said, You're going to be healthy for the next game. I was playing against Kenneth Walker in two weeks. I was paying Very close attention. And they just said, Yeah, don't worry about it. Take the rest of the game off.

Well, look, it was disappointing because he had some opportunities around the bone zone. Javante Williams did, too. Five targets, four catches for eight yards. He had two carries inside the five for negative one yards against Carolina. What do we do with this information?

I don't know. I thought we were trending to a place that we could be-Trustworthy? Yeah, we could be okay going with Javante. But this was... It was weird. There was so much play action. I know by the end, Javante got 17 carries. We'll absolutely take what he got, 17 and five targets. But they kept play actioning. They were really featuring Bo Nicks.

Oh, breaking news.

What do we got?

I just wanted people to know that the Falcon showed up to work today.

Oh, no, they know.

Look at that over in Doucey's alley.

It's more of a he's still at work. Yeah, he's still at work. They know he's He's usually showing up.

Wait, you got coffee in that mug? Yep.

Okay, well. Okay, well.

Oh, you're sweating?

He's like, This show's running long, guys. I'm on a Timer. Let's wrap this up. Oh, man.

Wide receiver duds, tight-end duds. We'll run through them real quick. In the Whirlpool of New York, Devante Adams, 4 for 54.

Dude, that's pretty wild here of 30 yards in the first week, 54 in this this particular week. Do you guys know who the wide receiver five on the season is right now?

Is that Gary Wilson?

Garrett Wilson.

He has certainly been, even if you look at expected fantasy points since Devante Adams has showed up, he has been the primary. He's been the one, and Adams has been being worked into the two. I don't know if that's going to stay for the full season. But honestly, there's been a couple of plays where Adams and Rodgers seem strangely out of sync.

I think Rodgers is... Do you think he plays football for them next year?

Yeah.

I don't know. Haven't thought about that one.

Okay. Jalen Waddle, just 4 for 45. Yeah, that's a big bummer. Amari Cooper just one for three, where Keion Coleman was great. Keion Coleman was awesome. He made some amazing plays. And then Khalil Shaqir is just... He reminds me of what Cole Beazley was doing for them a few years ago. He is Just a release valve. I don't like the way that they call this offense for Dalton Kincaid. The plays that Kincaid's involved in are never high-value plays. But Shaqir gets the PPR points. Coleman has been getting the contested catch points. He deserves a ton of credit because we were pretty hard on him to start the year, but he almost had another big one down the sideline, too. He could have caught.

He's been good. Coleman was great in this game, and the targets were early and often because the Bills didn't run or didn't throw a lot later in the game. But the first two drives was like, Kean Coleman, Kean Coleman, Kean Coleman. He was the number one read.

Couple of players we hoped for more from. Cole came out just one target. I'm going to correlate the lack of commit involvement to the lack of completion percentage for Caleb Williams. That's a bad game plan.

Yeah, you could throw in DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, everybody.

That's fair. But one target, though. Gross. Jake Ferguson, eight targets, just 6 for 23.

That's what I'm seeing.

They're dysfunctional, man.

At the beginning of the show, there were so many plays where it was... He had time. It's Dak is moving around the pocket for what I think is a very fair, adequate amount of time. And then it's just, check it down to Ferguson, who's in the flat, and he gets immediately hit.

Something's weird, man. Something's weird there and in New York. Tomorrow, we've got waivers and streaming quarterback options on Wednesday, hungry for more, the Thursday night preview. Thursday, Thursday's Halloween.

Are we still doing that?

I think so.

We do have some updated news here.

Brian Thomas Jr. Could miss 2-4 weeks with a chest rib injury suffered on Sunday, and Christian Kirk's out for this season. I guess we'll talk about that on The Waver Show tomorrow. But that's a bummer for Brian Thomas. He's been playing some great football. That'll do it. We'll let the Falcon get to his business, his real business, and we'll be back with you tomorrow.
