Speaker 1: Wow, it is Friday, which means it is died for
Speaker 1: the stardom Sitam show where we tell you who to
Speaker 1: start who to sit, because that's the name of the show,
Speaker 1: of course, based on the column.
Speaker 2: Then Michael left Floria. All right.
Speaker 1: You can find that every week at NFL dot com
Speaker 1: slash start sit And I'm sure Floria, when you post these,
Speaker 1: no one ever has a problem with them. No one
Speaker 1: ever comes back and tells you what was right and
Speaker 1: what was wrong. I'm sure everybody just accepts them as
Speaker 1: they are correct.
Speaker 3: I will say I no longer read YouTube comments, so
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like.
Speaker 2: I hope people aren't, but I don't. They might. They
Speaker 2: probably are.
Speaker 1: Although I'll say this, you seem to be getting more
Speaker 1: comments for your hairstyles lately than for your actual takes.
Speaker 3: My advice to any fantasy content creator, if you don't
Speaker 3: want your picks or takes to get hate on the Internet,
Speaker 3: just change.
Speaker 2: Up your hair.
Speaker 3: Dupe people will they will comment only on that.
Speaker 2: All right. So we found a way.
Speaker 1: We have found a way to deflect from the the
Speaker 1: thumb thugs and the Twitter mob out there who might
Speaker 1: be coming. I love that thumb thugs, thumb Thugs is
Speaker 1: great anyway, le's this to some starts and since Florid,
Speaker 1: let's start with the quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Who is up and who's down this week?
Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels because he if you don't have Josh Allen,
Speaker 3: I'm playing everyone over him, over everyone. Baker Mayfield against
Speaker 3: the Eagles. I've like a lot this week for a
Speaker 3: bounce back. Sam Darnold leads the league in touchdowns. Start
Speaker 3: him and then Gino Smith and what I think will
Speaker 3: absolutely be a shootout against the Lions any plays Monday,
Speaker 3: so you always have a chance. This one might be
Speaker 3: a little spicy, but I think if you have an option,
Speaker 3: you should try to get away from Anthony Richardson because
Speaker 3: the Steelers are the best defensive football Caleb Williams is
Speaker 3: a good matchup, but I want to make sure he's
Speaker 3: able to take advantage of those first. And then Trevor
Speaker 3: Lawrence looks broken right now. Matthew Stafford without his top
Speaker 3: wide receivers is not someone that trust in a one
Speaker 3: QB league, And same thing with Kirk Cousins. I want
Speaker 3: to see him give us better fantasy days before I
Speaker 3: start trusting him in my lineup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I've said I think Camble is a sleeper
Speaker 1: this week, but I certainly understand, like I'm not necessar
Speaker 1: going to try to force him into a lineup if
Speaker 1: I don't, if I don't have to at any point, Lak,
Speaker 1: I do want to ask you about some Sam Donald though, right,
Speaker 1: because certainly nobody anticipated this coming through the first three
Speaker 1: weeks of this season, Like not a single soul.
Speaker 2: Is this for real?
Speaker 1: And I know he's a little bit banged up, he
Speaker 1: expects to play this week, but like, can we expect
Speaker 1: that this is going to be Sam Donald for the
Speaker 1: entire season?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: I could see it being Sam Donald, man. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 4: this is the best O line he's had that he
Speaker 4: has justin Jefferson, he has the alpha wide receiver one.
Speaker 4: I mean, the other situation with the Jets, the Panthers,
Speaker 4: you know, the back of the BA San Francisco quarterback.
Speaker 4: It's just he never really had the right situation. I
Speaker 4: think this is the right situation with the great head
Speaker 4: coach Kevin O'Connell, which is part of that Sean McVay tree.
Speaker 4: So therefore I always see those guys, you know, thriving
Speaker 4: in the new situation they get in with a system
Speaker 4: that actually works around them, with pieces that are really
Speaker 4: put in place to actually help the quarterback, you know,
Speaker 4: be able to achieve and be successful. So I think
Speaker 4: this is real. With Sam Donald. I got him and
Speaker 4: a lot of starting lineups. You know, Anthony Richardson, he's
Speaker 4: the one that's in time out on punishment and I said,
Speaker 4: you know, he's gonna have to sit for a while
Speaker 4: and cook, you know, and Sam Donald's going into starting lineups.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what also helps Sam Donald is
Speaker 1: having a defense that is so good right that you know,
Speaker 1: you don't have that pressure that you have to score
Speaker 1: every time. You know, the defense can get takeaways, they
Speaker 1: can get you the ball back, they can get you
Speaker 1: short fields as well. I mean, not to take away
Speaker 1: from what he has done on the field, but it
Speaker 1: certainly helps knowing that the guys on the other side
Speaker 1: of the ball are making plays with you and are
Speaker 1: making plays for you.
Speaker 4: Get hockey pretty soon as well. Like that that's being
Speaker 4: talked about like he's getting another weapon and Addison.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Flora eventually gets Addison back too soon, so you
Speaker 1: already got he's making it work with Jalen Naylor, right
Speaker 1: like that with Jalen Naylor. So imagine he gets Jordan
Speaker 1: Addison back at T J. Hawkinson, all of our takes
Speaker 1: about like, oh, I can't. I'm not gonna touch the
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison because Sam Dunold is there. Like just just
Speaker 1: put on the clown makeup, because that's that's kind of
Speaker 1: how we are right now. What is it? The yeah,
Speaker 1: the Arthur Joker, like you know, face up meme, That's
Speaker 1: what it is. I lab every time I see that man.
Speaker 2: Running backs Florida. Who's starting, who's sitting? Uh?
Speaker 3: Sticking with the Vikings. Aaron Jones must start Option. He
Speaker 3: and his Sombreros are coming into Lambeau for revenge. Get
Speaker 3: him in your lineup. I have Tony Pollard as to
Speaker 3: start this week. I think this is gonna be a
Speaker 3: game that gamescript is in his favor. I really like him.
Speaker 3: Zach Moss must start Option. I think he gets so
Speaker 3: much volume each week and it is a good matchup.
Speaker 2: And same thing with Naji Harris.
Speaker 3: Ton of volume every week, second most yards on the ground.
Speaker 3: The Colt have given up and then sits Rashad White.
Speaker 3: Although I will say Bucky Irving's health is a big
Speaker 3: part here because that was a big reason why I
Speaker 3: had him as a sit Zamir White. I don't see
Speaker 3: any way I want to trust this guy right now.
Speaker 3: All the valuable touches go to Alexander Madison. DeAndre Swift
Speaker 3: is not only really struggling, but it's looking like he
Speaker 3: might be losing his job right now. And then Javonte Williams.
Speaker 3: The Broncos backfield is a complete mess. And samaj p Ryan,
Speaker 3: he is the passing down back. The bulcal work went
Speaker 3: to Carson Steel and this week against they banged up
Speaker 3: Herbert and Chargers. It's probably more of a running week
Speaker 3: than it is a throwing week. In Kansas City.
Speaker 2: You mentioned Aaron Jones and his sombrero.
Speaker 1: I think I saw quot he says he will do
Speaker 1: a Lambeau leap if he scores a touchdown.
Speaker 2: You think.
Speaker 1: I was like this one, curious, like will they throw
Speaker 1: him back, will they receive him with open arms? Will
Speaker 1: they push him back down on the field. I'm rooting
Speaker 1: for this to happen because I just want to see
Speaker 1: how this thing getens up.
Speaker 3: You know, they're designing a play to get him in
Speaker 3: like they have to be. They're gonna do everything they
Speaker 3: can to let him score.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to it has this has that come
Speaker 2: on Vikings?
Speaker 1: Like I've never I'm generally indifferent to the Minnesota Vikings,
Speaker 1: but I am school like this has gotta happen. It's
Speaker 1: gotta happen for sure. This week you got DeAndre Swift
Speaker 1: is a sit How do you feel about Roshawn Johnson?
Speaker 3: Uh? He is someone that I tried to pick up
Speaker 3: in a lot of leagues this week. Ideally, I don't
Speaker 3: want to start because even last week, like, yeah, he
Speaker 3: got the targets and stuff, but more the snaps went
Speaker 3: to Swift. But I think this is something that we
Speaker 3: could quickly see change, which is why I want him
Speaker 3: on my roster. I just don't necessarily want to trust
Speaker 3: him just yet.
Speaker 2: All Right, that's fair. That's fair enough.
Speaker 1: Anybody that jumps out of you on the start sit list,
Speaker 1: Lakwan and anybody that you know you're really big on,
Speaker 1: you're really low on that you see here.
Speaker 4: Uh, I know, I know we talked about it yesterday,
Speaker 4: but Rashad White, you know, we're still waiting on the
Speaker 4: clear status of Bucky Irvin. But even if Bucky's going
Speaker 4: out there this week, man, for I think you kind
Speaker 4: of want to put, you know, Vershod White in those
Speaker 4: areas that you can like I feel like, you know,
Speaker 4: if you're at a situation with running back and you
Speaker 4: had to hit the wire this week and you have
Speaker 4: a shot White, I kind of feel like you're pushing
Speaker 4: towards that direction and putting them in starting line. So
Speaker 4: he is a sit which I understand it. But he's
Speaker 4: just been bad in between the tackles why I understand it.
Speaker 4: But it's hard out here in these fantasy streets when
Speaker 4: it comes to these players. So you just have to
Speaker 4: start whoever has a name and a number man, and
Speaker 4: who's going to be on the field.
Speaker 3: This is one of the biggest issues of having to
Speaker 3: write it on Sunday and Monday, is so much changes
Speaker 3: by the time Friday comes.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, at least with Shod White for now, he's
Speaker 1: still getting the passing game work.
Speaker 4: Hopefully people understand that, like things change literally by the
Speaker 4: minute in an hour. Like we're human man, like we
Speaker 4: we try.
Speaker 1: They look, we have a we have a long track
Speaker 1: record of things breaking right after the show.
Speaker 4: Records, so you know, it's just me running from the
Speaker 4: parking garage to record.
Speaker 2: It's just what it is for sure.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the wide receivers. Who you got,
Speaker 1: who you're putting on the bench.
Speaker 3: I went six deep at wide receiver for starts because
Speaker 3: I wanted to get in Marvin Harrison Junior against the Commanders.
Speaker 2: I know people are gonna be like duh.
Speaker 3: So then I also said, uh, dk Metcalf and Jsen.
Speaker 3: I know last week was more of a locket week.
Speaker 3: I do think this is a JSN week for the Seahawks.
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson is a mustard option for me as long
Speaker 3: as Andy Dalton is the quarterback. Roma Doonday I think
Speaker 3: has such a high ceiling in this one because the
Speaker 3: Rams really struggle on the deep ball and he had
Speaker 3: two hundred and thirty five air yards last week. I
Speaker 3: know uh Lakwan is big on Khalil Shakir this week,
Speaker 3: so am I I think he is the wide receiver
Speaker 3: one for Josh Allen. Literally his hands are magnets. Everything
Speaker 3: that goes his way he catches. And the Ravens have
Speaker 3: struggled against slot receivers, and then Damario Douglas's.
Speaker 2: Truly in play this week.
Speaker 3: The Niners shut down tight ends struggle against slot receivers
Speaker 3: and the Pats are going to be in catch up
Speaker 3: mode and then Garrett Wilson sit because Patrick's ertan not
Speaker 3: he must It depends on your options, but I would
Speaker 3: be trying to get away from him. Jalen Wattle looks
Speaker 3: unusable right now without Tua Michael Pittman Junior. Not only
Speaker 3: has Alec Pierce been the leading receiver three weeks in
Speaker 3: a row. Last week, Josh Jowns was the first read
Speaker 3: on the third of the throws Courtland Sutton because Sauce
Speaker 3: Gardner and DJ Reid and then Xavier Worthy. Week one
Speaker 3: was fun, but the juice is not worth the squeeze
Speaker 3: right now. Like if he doesn't get one of those
Speaker 3: long touchdown runs, the floor is close to zero.
Speaker 2: Laquon, what are we doing with Michael Pittman? What do
Speaker 2: we do now?
Speaker 4: Listen, I feel like the investment. We can't drop him yet.
Speaker 4: We just got a hold on. We gotta believe, we
Speaker 4: gotta believe, man. I feel like things will start to
Speaker 4: fall in place once Anthony Richison addresses his quarterback play,
Speaker 4: addresses the turnovers, because when these turnovers happen, that takes
Speaker 4: away opportunity for Michael Pittman. When these things happen where
Speaker 4: he's going out there and throwing an interception deep. It's like,
Speaker 4: come on, Anthony, man, you need to be able to
Speaker 4: make your reads and look at your wide receiver one,
Speaker 4: which is Michael Pittman, which I still believe is there.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: I still think the target share is going to be
Speaker 4: solid for him, but moving forward is just going to
Speaker 4: be hard to honestly confidently put him in starting lineups.
Speaker 4: So this is why if you went deep on wide
Speaker 4: receivers and drafts over the summer, this is where you
Speaker 4: start getting those guys like popped up because you start
Speaker 4: getting the close shakiers, you start getting etcetera. Those guys
Speaker 4: in that tier that you could just plug and play
Speaker 4: in for your guy to finally, you know, eventually get right.
Speaker 2: I say, trade him.
Speaker 4: Who's buying right now?
Speaker 2: Though that they could.
Speaker 3: They got offered Jonathan Brooks for him, and I was like,
Speaker 3: do this a million times?
Speaker 4: Yes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would do yeah. I can't remember which which
Speaker 1: game it was one of the preseason games. I remember
Speaker 1: hearing the quotes afterwards where some of the defenders on
Speaker 1: the other side were saying, actually, it might have been
Speaker 1: the joint practices they had with the Bengals where some
Speaker 1: of the defenders during the week were saying, he doesn't
Speaker 1: he's not reading the defense. He's just throwing the spots,
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe we should have read more into
Speaker 1: that than we have.
Speaker 2: For aw, he's young.
Speaker 3: I think people forget how young he is.
Speaker 4: This is really his rookie year, Like, let's let's just
Speaker 4: say what it is.
Speaker 2: You know, only two games.
Speaker 4: Really he played fool last year, Like we're into week four,
Speaker 4: let's see if he could start, you know, getting momentum
Speaker 4: every week.
Speaker 3: I have a stronger take that I think Alec Pierce
Speaker 3: is the guy you want to roster here.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean since Matt Ryan was the culture started hearing
Speaker 4: things out of camp about Alec Pierce, Like I just
Speaker 4: feel like al Pierce has always been that guy there.
Speaker 4: It's just like he just never really stayed healthy or
Speaker 4: really clicked with said quarterback.
Speaker 1: Now, well, I think I think I think the thing
Speaker 1: with Pierce is that because he's the deep threat, like
Speaker 1: you you sort of know what you're getting, Like the
Speaker 1: risk and the volatility is already sort of included in
Speaker 1: adding him there and where you're gonna start him. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're starting here was like a third wide receiver, like
Speaker 1: a flex option something like that. So you can sort
Speaker 1: of live with the up and down week to week
Speaker 1: of him. But when he connects, it's one of those
Speaker 1: things where he doesn't have to catch a lot of passes,
Speaker 1: but if he catches a couple because of how they're
Speaker 1: using him, it's going to add up. I mean, he
Speaker 1: is the home run guy, and so I think that's
Speaker 1: the reason that you go with Pierce, whereas you know
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, you're gonna need six five, six catches probably
Speaker 1: for him to put together. A big day for pierceon
Speaker 1: might be two or three and he's got a good day. Yikes,
Speaker 1: that's all I got. That's really all I got.
Speaker 2: All Right.
Speaker 1: Finally, let's move over to tight ends Florida. Who's starting,
Speaker 1: who's sitting?
Speaker 3: Brock Bauers must start. I know last week wasn't his
Speaker 3: biggest game, but he shows us to have a safe
Speaker 3: floor in high ceiling. Dallas Goddard is as mustard as
Speaker 3: a tight end can be. This week he is the
Speaker 3: only healthy pass catcher. I think you start both Ravens
Speaker 3: tight ends and dalt Kin Kate start all your tight
Speaker 3: ends in Bill's Ravens and then Tyler Conklin for me,
Speaker 3: is also a start in this one. I think if
Speaker 3: they take out Garrett Wilson, he gets more volume. And
Speaker 3: then since I know these aren't huge names, but tight
Speaker 3: End is gross right now, Dalton Schultz, Pat Fryarmuth, Mike Seki,
Speaker 3: Kate Out and Kobe Parkinson just kind of low floor,
Speaker 3: not a ton of high upside options.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Friary thing makes me a little sex.
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to really have some some
Speaker 1: juice this year. But again, a lot of I think
Speaker 1: my Steelers takes before the season, we're based on the
Speaker 1: idea that Russell Wilson was going to be the starter.
Speaker 1: With Justin Field's in there, that sort of changes how
Speaker 1: everything works. Look on with Mark Andrews Isaiah Likely, it's
Speaker 1: like it's so frustrating right because we know what they
Speaker 1: can be, they haven't come anything close to that. I
Speaker 1: won't say this is a last chance because that just
Speaker 1: doesn't feel fair because these guys have such high upside,
Speaker 1: But man, it feels like it's getting really hard to
Speaker 1: hold on with one or either of it. As at
Speaker 1: least Likely has given us one good game. We haven't
Speaker 1: gotten one good game out of Andrews yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: It man, it's really rough because you got the tight
Speaker 4: end situation with the injuries, and then you have tight
Speaker 4: ends like Mark Andrews that's not performing at a high level.
Speaker 4: So you're kind of in a situation where you're just like,
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm just going to be washed at
Speaker 4: the tight end position. Whoever is going to be there,
Speaker 4: be there because you can't really and say, oh, I'll
Speaker 4: play him by matchup because he's had the matchups and
Speaker 4: he hasn't done anything. He hasn't been able to produce
Speaker 4: at the high level that we know Mark Andrews can play.
Speaker 4: And then Isaiah likely he's eating off his plate as well.
Speaker 4: So it's kind of like a situation where like, I
Speaker 4: don't want to say this is the last stand, but man,
Speaker 4: it's gonna be the last time that I'll put in
Speaker 4: my starting lineups. I could tell you like that, but
Speaker 4: he will be sitting on the bench just becoming a zombie,
Speaker 4: you know, my my roster.
Speaker 1: It's just it's so hard, right because everybody is aware
Speaker 1: of what's happening with Mark Andrews, so it's hard to treat.
Speaker 4: Mad with this car accident, like like, do we have
Speaker 4: footage of pictures?
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there has to be something more than
Speaker 1: we're you know, being told right now. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: the Ravens are, you know, they're choosing what to let
Speaker 1: out and whatnot. But it just feels like there's something
Speaker 1: more than just not being able to figure out what's
Speaker 1: happening with Mark Andrews.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, but.
Speaker 1: Gonna be interesting to kind of see how things go,
Speaker 1: see how things play out for this week and the
Speaker 1: season going along for the Ravens tight ends, probably with
Speaker 1: the tight end position in general, because it is a mess.
Speaker 1: That's really a down way to end the show. But
Speaker 1: we need to know. I've been so bad, you know what,
Speaker 1: I put this on me. I gotta just watch the
Speaker 1: table get better every week because we've seen the end
Speaker 1: these shows on a depressing note. The good news is
Speaker 1: there's football this week, so that is a thing that
Speaker 1: we can be excited about. Back with you on Monday
Speaker 1: with the NFL Fantasy Football Show to talk about the
Speaker 1: things that were in Week four. In the meantime that
Speaker 1: I'll do it for this edition of the Startum Centum Show.
Speaker 1: Thank you for hanging out with us, Thank you for
Speaker 1: for everybody who's helping us put this thing together. And
Speaker 1: I will get my words together and I will take
Speaker 1: a break for the weekend. In the meantime, thanks for listening.
Speaker 1: We will talk to you again next week. We're done now.
Speaker 1: Everybody see You'll tell help, I'll tell help.
Speaker 2: H
