1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to the Stardom Sidham Show.

2
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: This used to be a video show.

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: Now they're doing it on audio because truly needs to

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: see us when we're talking about the guy Who's gonna

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: start and sit.

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Anyway, it is the.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: Audio or ural a U R A L version of

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: the column that Michael left Florioll writes. You can find

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: it every week at NFL dot com slash starts Sit.

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: How is it getting back in the groove of writing

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: this thing because it is a behemoth of a column

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: every year.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Week one is typically the easiest because I get

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 3: I started it like a week and a half ago,

15
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 3: so I can kind of spread it and I don't

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 3: have to write it all in one day like I

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: do in season. So I like this pace a lot better.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, It's like it's like being a recording artist, right.

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: You guess your whole lifetime to write your first album,

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: you get eighteen months to write the second one, you know,

21
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how it works. Anyway, I'm here

22
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: with Florio, Lakwan Jones is here as well. We're gonna

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: go through some of the starts and sits from Florio's column,

24
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: and then we will nitpick at it or maybe tell

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: him he's good, he's good and pat him on the back.

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: So let's go with the quarterback starts. Who do you

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: have this week, Floria.

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: I have Anthony Richardson as a start against the Texans,

29
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 3: Jared Goff as a start against the Rams. In that

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: same game, I'm starting Matthew Stafford, and I think you

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: could start Jaden Daniels this week as well. And then

32
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 3: my sits Brock Purdy against the Jets, Herbert against the Raiders,

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers against the forty nine ers, and Kirk Cousins

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: against the Steelers. You might notice a theme when it

35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: comes to some of these sits.

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely a lot of you know, starting sitting guys

37
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: against bad or agons good defenses. I should say, Brock

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: perty Aaron Rodgers going against each other on Monday Night football.

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: Lakwan.

40
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm gonna ask you about Matthew Stafford, especially

41
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: by both Stafford and Goff, I mean because they they

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: obviously played against each other in the playof are obviously

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: going to be linked together for the rest of their

44
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: careers because of the trade.

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: But this does have the.

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: Potential to be a really high scoring really entertaining game.

47
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: It was a it was a really entertaining playoff game.

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: I know your team came up short, but it's a

49
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: fun game to watch. I think this game is gonna

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: be equally as fun to watch this week.

51
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 4: I like how you slid in there that we came

52
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 4: up short. Like I didn't watch the game, but thank you.

53
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 4: I appreciate the pain.

54
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,239
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be I'm trying to report factually

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: correct information.

56
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: That's all the Lions.

57
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, here we go. But listen, I definitely think there's

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: going to be a high scoring game. These are two quarterbacks, man,

59
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: that you need to have in your starting lineups. Like,

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 4: I really like that you got them in the column, Gloria,

61
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: because man, people are sleeping on Matthew Stafford. Like people

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: are not understanding we have a full healthy team. So

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 4: therefore we have the Avengers have assembled because when you

64
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: look at last season, man, there was a bunch of injuries,

65
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 4: and Matthew Stafford wasn't himself in some games, and then

66
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: you know he's battling through injury mid season. But once

67
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: everybody came back together, Man, there was just no questions

68
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: that Matthew Stafford might have been one of the best,

69
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 4: you know quarterbacks in the NFL. So I'm pounding the

70
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: table for a full healthy season that he could be MVP.

71
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: Wow, MVP even wow, that's on paper, that's bold.

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: So Flora, I know the other day on Fantasy Live,

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: you you you did your starts and sits and you said,

74
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, Marcus used to put on earmuffs and you said,

75
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: Brock Purty is a set Like I honestly, I was

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: not offended because I'm like, yeah, I don't know that

77
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: I would start Brock Purty this week either, going against

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Look, there are times to start Purty.

79
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that this is one of those opportunities.

80
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: I think there are. Uh, there's so much going on

81
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: with that defense.

82
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Now. Look, Hassan Redick may not be there because apparently

83
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: he can't find his weight, like a big deal. Like

84
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Hassan Reddick hasn't been to the facility yet. I'm like,

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: maybe his GPS is broken.

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

87
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: But either way, there's just a lot defensively that I

88
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: have to be concerned about. If if I'm you know,

89
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Brock Purty, so I'm I'm totally with you on on

90
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: keeping him on the bench.

91
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 4: This is the starter's preseason. That's how it kind is,

92
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: you know, guys that haven't played at all.

93
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: No, the season did not go well for Brock Purdy

94
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: e like it did not. It was rough and on

95
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: top of the matchup with being Sauce Gardner and the

96
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: Jets defense and everything. We did see Perdy struggle against

97
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 3: top defenses last year, like the Ravens got to him

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: pretty well. But even more than that, Trent Williams is

99
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: just getting back. Brendon Ayuk is just getting back. I

100
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: think the forty nine ers win this game, but I

101
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: don't think they look like mid season forty nine ers

102
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 3: just yet. I think it might take them a couple

103
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 3: weeks to get to that.

104
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a close game.

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a relatively low scoring game

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: compared to some of the other games we'll see in

107
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Week one as well. So I yeah, I think it's

108
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: It actually makes a lot of sense. Your starts running backs,

109
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: what you got.

110
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: Don't call me a homer. I am starting James Connor

111
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: against the Bills. I'm starting a favorite of all of

112
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: ours on this pod, and Raheem Mostert against the Jaguars.

113
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to watch Davonte Williams, and I'm excited

114
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,119
Speaker 3: for both running backs in that one. But Javonte against

115
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: Seattle Zamir White. I have a start against the Chargers,

116
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 3: and then my sits. It pains me to say, but

117
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: I'm taking a wait and see approach with Austin Eckler

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren against the Falcons. I have as a sit,

119
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: and then I need answers for the Bengals backfield against

120
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: the Patriots and the Cowboys backfield against the Browns. Both

121
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: are in tough matchups and we don't know how the

122
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 3: work is gonna look, so I need answers to those

123
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: ones before I trust him in my lineup.

124
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know people are getting excited about Rico Dowdell.

125
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm very much like I need to see it first

126
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 1: before I sort of get on board with that one.

127
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Javonte Williams Stan Lakwan, I've made no secret

128
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: about it on the show.

129
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think I know how you've

130
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: had Where do you come down on Javonte Williams.

131
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 4: I mean, like, if you would have asked me this

132
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: in May, I probably Like, yeah, I'm not touching him,

133
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: but he looked good in the preseason, so like I'm

134
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: okay with having him, you know, on my rosters now

135
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 4: and the late draft that I did have, But I'm

136
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 4: still confused of what this backfield is going to actually

137
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: look like because they have so much talent back there,

138
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: you know, and like this isn't a bad matchup for them, honestly,

139
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 4: Like the Seahawks. Man, I understand they're this scary defense

140
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 4: now with Mike mc McDonald there, But I really feel

141
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 4: as though Javonte Williams, he looked really fresh, he look good,

142
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 4: he look healthy. So if they're gonna give him the workload,

143
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: like I'm gonna rock with him in Week one and

144
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 4: to see what happens.

145
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in on Javonte.

146
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: I like Julia McLaughlin's kind of a deep sleeper this

147
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: week as well, because I think he's gonna get a

148
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: lot of targets and like I know, a lot of

149
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: teams made defensive changes ready to bringing in new people,

150
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: new coaches. I feel like it's gonna take a couple

151
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: of weeks for these to come around. Like maybe Mike

152
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: McDonald gets this thing going in Seattle I don't necessarily

153
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: know that they gets going in Seattle in Week one exactly,

154
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: so I'm in with Javonte. I'm also well, maybe it's

155
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: because I have a fourteen team league where I don't

156
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of options. I'm starting Austin Eckler. I'm

157
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: choosing to believe. I'm choosing to keep Hope alive against

158
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: Ecklers because I think I just think the pass catching

159
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: upside keeps him afloat in a game that could be

160
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: high scoring, in a game where Washington could be trailing,

161
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: that means two minute real work. He's past catching work,

162
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: and so hopefully that keeps him sort of relevant. I'm

163
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: trying to speak this into existence because again, I have

164
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: a fourteen team league where I him.

165
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: I have Austin Eckler on so many of my benches,

166
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Like I took him in as many drafts as I

167
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: can because he was going so cheap, but he's usually

168
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: more is my army and a deep league like that,

169
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: Marcus for sure start him fourteen team anything like that. Uh,

170
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 3: But I was looking over my rosters and I was like, ah,

171
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: like I always felt a little bit better safer with

172
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: my RB two, and that's kind of how but look,

173
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 3: if you want to swing for the fences, I think

174
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: Eckler still brings all the pass catching upside that you

175
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: were just talking about. So I'm hoping we even get

176
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: an air guitar show.

177
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: That'd be great, that'd be fantastical.

178
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: If that, I'm sure you'll text me if he scores so.

179
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, you'll you'll know.

180
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 3: I won't even have to say anything and stuff.

181
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: That's true, very true.

182
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 5: Let's move on to your start wider receivers. Who do

183
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 5: you got avoiding players who play on Thursday? We got

184
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 5: Calvin Ridley, who I am super bullish on against the Bears,

185
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 5: Terry McLaurin going up against the Bucks, and then I've

186
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: been talking him up a lot this week, Malik Neighbors

187
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: against the Vikings.

188
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to watch his NFL debut. Roma Dunsday

189
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: is a sit for me against the Titans. Keyon Coleman,

190
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: I think is a sit against the Cardinals. The Bills

191
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: just slow play their rookies early in the season. And

192
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: then Jordan Addison. I want no parts of him. I

193
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: didn't want to draft him and I don't want to

194
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: start him in Week one.

195
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I know on our Thursday show, Lakwan said

196
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: that he thought Justin Jefferson was going to be a

197
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: week one dud. So if if Jefferson's a week one dud,

198
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I really don't know what hope Jordan Addison is going.

199
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna be ugly for that boy.

200
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 2: It's gonna be ugly. Yeah, Melik Neighbors, I'm totally on

201
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: board with you.

202
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: Mentioned Terry McLaurin, and we all love Jayden Daniels, and

203
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: so I don't understand why it is that we haven't

204
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: talked more about McLaurin.

205
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: I don't.

206
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: I don't know it's because, you know, like he's had

207
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: He's had four straight years over a thousand yards.

208
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: I know that none of them have ever been huge.

209
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Like I think we always had bigger hopes for him,

210
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: but he also has had just a not.

211
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: So great group of quarterbacks throwing the ball at him.

212
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 2: I went back and looked.

213
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's like, you know, case Keenum and Taylor

214
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: Heineke and Sam Howell and you know, just hasn't been

215
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: a great group of quarterbacks. So I'm hoping that having

216
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels can elevate him. I think it starts

217
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: week one. I also like the the idea that you know,

218
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury's going to play against type and actually move

219
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: his ex receiver around and not just leave him standing

220
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: on the left side of the formation the whole time.

221
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: So that's exciting to me. Lakwan where are you at

222
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 1: on Romodoon day? Because I know flooryo Is is just

223
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: kind of being patient. I'm like, let's just dive into

224
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: the abyss and go where are you on Rome this week?

225
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: So that we know this wide receiver course stacked. So

226
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 4: it's like one of those things that I kind of

227
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: want to wait and see before I put the rookie

228
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: in my starting lineups, Like I feel more confident put

229
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: in like a Keenan Allen or a DJ Moore. I

230
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: need to see that he doesn't end up you know

231
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 4: Shane Waldron's JSN version where he's just used as a

232
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: gadget and he's utilized in some design plays and then

233
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: he kind of fades away in a third and fourth quarter.

234
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 4: So like, I need to see if he's going to

235
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 4: be consistently used. And obviously, like I said before, Kayla

236
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: Williams is the winning here in fantasy where he has

237
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 4: all these tools that he can use and be able

238
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: to be like a Fantasy stud in week one to

239
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 4: make a splash. So Roma Duneesa, I'm just on the

240
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 4: wait and see list. You know, I'm kind of like hesitant,

241
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 4: you know, to put him in this week.

242
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: I you know, I don't have him in enough spots

243
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: where I can really truly make that call, like the

244
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: places I have him, like, I've got other guys that

245
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: are like locked in for sure, for sure. I just

246
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: have this feeling he's gonna go big now, mind you,

247
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Adam Rank, So take this with you know, multiple shakers

248
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: of salt, and I heard that projected him on Thursday's

249
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: episode of Fantasy Life for twenty points.

250
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh this week.

251
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: But it's also because I will say this. We were

252
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: doing a segment about rookies and he had projected Marvin

253
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: Harrison for eighteen.

254
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: I had Mick Neighbors for seventeen.

255
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: And he's like, do you think I'm actually going to

256
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: have Romo Dunze for fewer points than these other two guys?

257
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 2: You're crazy?

258
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 3: He will have fewer than those two guys. Yeah, I

259
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: have one lineup conundrum where I have two flex spots

260
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: and four options. It's a donsay Shakir, Jerome Ford, Cuba Hubbard.

261
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: I keep going back and forth on those ones.

262
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: Dunja Shakir Hubbard, who was the last one, Jerome Ford,

263
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: Jerome Ford. Maybe because I'm crazy like I might do odonsay,

264
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: I might, I just really might throw. Or it's Cuba Hubbard,

265
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: which is a wild thing.

266
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, my co manager wants to play the two running backs.

267
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like, let's have fun and play the receivers.

268
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: Me in the middle. Yeah, we'll see.

269
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: Last one. We got tied into your starting sits this week.

270
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 3: Please everyone stop calling it the Arthur Smith revenge game.

271
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: It is the Pile Pitts revenge game. He is a

272
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: must start tight end for me. He is going to

273
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 3: show the world it wasn't me the last two years,

274
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 3: it was you, Arthur Smith. I think Jake Ferguson, who

275
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure we all love on this show. I

276
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: am very excited for what he is going to be

277
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 3: this season, and I think it starts in week one.

278
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: Dallas Goddard I think is just undervalued right now. I

279
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: think with the new OC there, we're gonna get more passing.

280
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: And then I think Tyler Conklin is sneaky because Roger's

281
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 3: gonna try to get rid of the ball quick and

282
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: he is going to be the safe, secure target over

283
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 3: the middle. David and Joku is a sit for me.

284
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: Forty three percent of his fantasy points last year came

285
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: in a five game span with Joe Flacco brock Bowers.

286
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 3: After missing so much practice this summer, I want to

287
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 3: see it first. And then two tight ends that are

288
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 3: buried behind three wide receivers in Dalton Schultz and Cole Comet,

289
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 3: I need more, say volume to get them in my lineup.

290
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: In Week one.

291
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: The Tyler Conklin drum beats have gotten very loud, very loud.

292
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: Are you are you? Are you pounding the drum for

293
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 2: Tyler Conklin LQ?

294
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: Not Week one, but I do agree that he's a

295
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 4: sleeper on the season long look, but not Week one, man, Like,

296
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: I really need to see, you know, how Rogers look

297
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: and how this offense is gelling together because we kind

298
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: of were cut short last season, you know obviously with

299
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: the injury. So I don't even know what Aaron Rodgers

300
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 4: forty one years old looks as a jet you know,

301
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 4: with this offense. Can this O line still protect him?

302
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 4: But Tyler Conklin is definitely a season long sleeper, being

303
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 4: that the last three seasons he generated eighty seven targets

304
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: eighty seven targets, eighty seven targets, and he's kept a

305
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 4: seventy percent you know catch RaSE. So he's one of

306
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 4: those reliable targets for Aaron Rodgers. But out the gate

307
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 4: Week one, I'm a little hesitant.

308
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: I would give him a shot this week, especially if

309
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: you if you punted on the tight end position in

310
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: drafts that you waited a little bit longer and you

311
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: took Conklin, you know, I would give him a shot.

312
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: I think there's there's opportunity for him. The Niners were

313
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: not great against tight ends last year too. I think

314
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: that's something to kind of keep in mind. And I

315
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: think Loreo's point, did you want to get the ball

316
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: out quickly?

317
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: You know I don't.

318
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see any his bootleg rollouts where you

319
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: know Rogers got hurt last year, It's gonna be him,

320
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: you know, three step, drop and throw scrapped.

321
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: The funniest thing in the world could happen. I mean,

322
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: the Jets that other Achilles.

323
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: We don't want for injuries, but I'm not wishing it,

324
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: but man like Jets, you have to.

325
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 2: You would have to do a welfare check on your

326
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: Jets fans friends.

327
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 3: I have the reason. I have so many Jet fan friends,

328
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: and last year when it happened, Oh my god, the

329
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: group chat was they were like it was it was

330
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: even it was I don't even know how to describe it.

331
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 3: It was like pain denial all at once, and it

332
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 3: kind of just made me chuckle. Even though the Bills

333
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 3: lost that game, I came away from it being like, well,

334
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: the division's up no longer up for grabs.

335
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: All all the stages of grief I'm sure at one

336
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: time for Jets fans. At that point, I brock Bauers

337
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: just real quick. Yeah, I don't know if I have

338
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm all choked up now. I don't know

339
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: if I have the stones to start him this week.

340
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: But I'm very keeping a very close eye because I

341
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: started to buy into brock Bauers as draft season went along.

342
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: So I will be watching that one very.

343
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Closely to see how he's used versus how Michael Mayer

344
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: is used as well, and uh, you know what sort

345
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: of opportunities he gets in that game may not be

346
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: a lot of points in that one either between the

347
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Chargers.

348
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 2: If we're being completely honest, so so so we'll see

349
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: for sure. Uh, there it is. Those are the starts

350
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: and sits for this week.

351
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,800
