1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Business of Sports. The world changing and

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: what are the things we can do to transform a

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: business and engage our fans globally in different ways. People

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 1: are using their name and likeness to create more opportunities,

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: more steaks and companies. In order to turn the organization around,

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: we had to turn it around not only just on

7
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 1: baseball operations side, but other business operations side well, and

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: any other sport is very difficult, but I like to

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: plug my horizons and be able to expand. Sports need

10
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: to be consumed a lot and not to the competitive

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: advantage for inartial property holders of sports content in the

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: media landscape. Bloomberg Business of Sports from Bloomberg Radio. Hello,

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: Michael Barr, and welcome to the Bloomberg Business of Sports podcast.

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday. You know what Wednesday means. It is our

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: podcast on fantasy football and the geniuses, and I mean

16
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: that really they are very good at it. Damien Sassur

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: and also Rich Truman, and they let me in just

18
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: to show you what you can do wrong because I

19
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: take advice from these guys, critical advice which comes down

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: now to week three. What are we looking at here?

21
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: Have you seen so far? I'll start with Damien as

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the season has shaped up so far, I mean, you

23
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: cannot ignore what's going on with Kyler Murray and Tyler Lockett.

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: They are absolutely feasting on the NFL right now. And look,

25
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 1: I mean the game that stands out for me this

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: week and it should stand for any NFL fan is

27
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: Bucks Rams. I mean to leading defenses. Yet from the

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: over under on that game is fifty six points. How

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: are these defenses going to let up all those points?

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they're putting a lot of faith

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: in those offenses. And look, you know, I kind of

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: think you might want to fade that, maybe take the

33
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: under there. I mean it's I mean, defense wins championships,

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: right Rich, I am like paying because Matt Stafford is

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: killing it with Rams in under center well and Cooper Cup.

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: But I believe it's a numbre receiver in uh breaking

37
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: records football and you're talking about trends. Uh Is Tony

38
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: Poward this year's cream hunt. I mean, he has more

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy points than the starter Ezekiel Elliott Um. He's doing

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot with less touches than Zeke and right now

41
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: he's a valuable fantasy commodity. So do you put Tony

42
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: Poward into your starting lineup as a flux? As my question,

43
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: do you guys pay this man his money? Yeah, you

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: have to, right of course. I mean looking you know,

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean you gotta believe that they're gonna keep going

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: with the hot hand there and Dallas has a pretty

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: plus matchup this week, don't they. Well, I you were

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: going to add something too rich about now, I was

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: gonna say one other trend, and I said this when

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: we were talking about drafting, like I wanted to get

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback. And besides Tom Brady, who's lighting up

52
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: a nine touchdown passes, if you look at the list

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: of like the top ten quarterbacks fantasy for I so far,

54
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean you'll see the expected dames like Colin Murray,

55
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: who everybody thought would be great in mahomes at Lamar

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: Jackson because he runs a lot. But even Daniel Jones

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and Jalen Hurts are making in the top ten in

58
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: in fantasy quarterbacks. I know it's only two games, but

59
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: it really helps to have a mobile quarterback in the

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: fantasy football, which brings me I want to bring back

61
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks in a second, but I want to go

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: back to Zeke. I'm wondering, Damian, if the Cowboys are saying,

63
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: all right, listen, we're gonna, like, you know, just use

64
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: you sparringly because we need you for the entire season.

65
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean there may be a lot of

66
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: truth to that. I mean, but you know, I mean,

67
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Zeke runs like his hair's on fire when you know

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: when they're going to him. I think the real issue

69
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: in Dallas is Dak Prescott is all the way back.

70
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: You know we said that in week one. I mean,

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: after Week one, he is all the way back and

72
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: it is unbelievable to watch him play, and you know

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: they're just going to run a spread offense and let

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: him do his thing, and that just does not fit

75
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: well with Ezekiel Elliott for fantasy purposes. Meanwhile, Rich, how

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: about those Jets? Oh my goodness, I don't you know

77
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson. I don't want to slam the guy because

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: he's a rookie quarterback. He's doing the best he can.

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: But it's like the old gag is like he looked

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: like Terry Bradshaw season one, like he was debuting for

81
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: he Haul and but look what happened. Terry Bradshaw four

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowls later, He's like, ha ha, Now let's hope

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: that Mr Wilson can do the same. I mean, it's

84
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: really mind boggling to even try to have a jet

85
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: guy and your starting ten for the last time year.

86
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean because I mean Corey Davis had a great

87
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Week one and he disappeared. I mean, you really have

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: to be desperate to put a jet in your starting lineup.

89
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: Can someone answer who who's the last Fantasy relevant New

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 1: York Jet? I mean for me, I mean what do

91
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: you have to say? We in combat or Keyshawn Johnson,

92
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 1: someone like that? URTIs Martin. I mean, that's the last

93
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: one I can think of it. I'll tell you this, though,

94
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: you know who stands out this week especially and Sutton

95
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Courtland Suton should feast on that chet secondary boy. Curtis

96
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: Martin was a relative fantasy player, That's true. I love

97
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: Curtis Martin, which brings us by the way too, and

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk more about it. Uh, let's talk about

99
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: tight ends because I haven't seen much action in a

100
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: lot of tight ends, and believe it or not, the

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: one that I have my eye on is Detroit and

102
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: Tony Hawk and Tony t J. Hockinson. Yeah, no, TJ

103
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: is a beast, you know he is. He's playing really well,

104
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean, look, you can't ignore what

105
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: Darren Waller did in week one. I mean he had

106
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of a letdown in week two, but

107
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 1: he had a tough matchup. I mean, Darren Waller looks

108
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: awesome and Derek Carr looks for that man on every play.

109
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: I mean, so you know you gotta love that. And look,

110
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to look for a bit

111
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: down and look, look at your Everett in Seattle. You

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: know that might be a guy who's on a lot

113
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of waiver wires that people should take

114
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: a look at because he looks like he could produce

115
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 1: in Seattle's got another good matchup this week, and you're

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: leaving out. Gronk has been unbelievable. I believe the great

117
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Charlie Ulmer has him. Yeah, well that's because of Tom

118
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: Braid forty Did anybody tell this man he's forty four

119
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: years old forty four now, and some people are mad

120
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: because just pad his stats like, well, okay, that's great,

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: because we're to see football players. You go ahead and

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: you want to dink and dunk. You go right ahead,

123
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: Mr Brady. I and I think I made a big

124
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: mistake in analyzing Tom Brady and saying, okay, never mind, Damien,

125
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: I messed up, you know. And I look, I mean

126
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: Tom is he's terrific. Can you say? You know, as

127
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: a Jet fan myself, you know it is very very

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson. You never bet against terrific Tom.

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: So you know he's doing great. I mean, look, you know,

130
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: I I gotta say we're gonna see some justin fields

131
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: in Chicago this weekend. I mean, you know, Richmondson mentioned

132
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: it earlier. Jalen Hurts. You know these mobile quarterbacks, these rooks,

133
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they look pretty. They look good. You know,

134
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more of them. My question to you, gentlemen,

135
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: is Sae Kwon Barkley. Is this the week that he

136
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: might shake off the Russ ten days rest from the

137
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: last game playing the Falcons. I believe they're going up

138
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: a two hundred fifty five yeards rushing if you're a

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: Barkley holder. If he doesn't do it this week, I mean,

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: I don't know when he'll do it. Well, I hope,

141
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: So I have selfish reasons for that, But I agree

142
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: with you, Rich, I think Sae Kwon Barkley is going

143
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: to annihilate it. And by the way, it's speaking of players,

144
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: give it up for Aaron Jones Green. What was it?

145
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Four touchdowns? This my goodness, he won a lot of

146
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: people their championships on Monday night, people who went to bed.

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable, right, I mean, look my in house fantasy

148
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: football Fantasy football quant strategist, Chad the Man Minick. You

149
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: know he likes this week, and he's right. I mean,

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a big opportunity against Kansas City. You know,

151
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: the Kansas City defense has led up the most rushing

152
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: yards in the NFL this week. I mean, Austin Necklace

153
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: should have a pretty pretty good week this week. And

154
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think the over under on that game

155
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: is pretty high. I mean two under two yards rushing

156
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: yards per game. The chiefs of letting up. I mean,

157
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: you know you got to expect him to come up big.

158
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: What was the stat? Rich, I think that it's the

159
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: first time Kansas City lost a game in September and

160
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: what five years or so, and it's the first time

161
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: at homes. I believe it's drown an interception. Yeah, in September,

162
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: what are we looking at, by the way, for if

163
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: you are we talked about running backs and what are

164
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: we looking at for white outs? Now? Why we we

165
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: need some good white outs here? What are you looking at, gentleman? Well,

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: I mean I like court and something. I mean, anyone

167
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: who's playing the Jets basically at this point, if you

168
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: want to look for somebody might be a viable kind

169
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: of flex option. Though for Amark Cooper is an active

170
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: or limited Sergric Wilson can come up in Dallas and

171
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: do some things there. I mean, Gallops already kind of

172
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 1: ruled out, so you know, I might be an area

173
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: to kind of look for on your waiver wire. And

174
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm learally to play Giants as a Giant fan, but

175
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: Strolling Shepherd has been a very consistent fantasy player to

176
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: playing the Falcons this week at home. Uh, he might

177
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: be a guy you want to put in your strolling line.

178
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: I mean, and and you know, obviously not a sleeper

179
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: might any stretch, but I mean, let's not ignore Adam

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Dealing and what he's been doing in Minnesota. I mean,

181
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: you know, coming into this year, people thought it was

182
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna be all Jefferson that dealing was dead, that this

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: guy could never keep up the pace with the touchdowns,

184
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: but he has done it so far. What are you

185
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: looking at for? If you were in those Survivor leagues,

186
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: which teams are you looking at? I will admit I'm

187
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: looking definitely at Denver playing the gents. I mean, I

188
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: like Arizona at Jacksonville, right, I mean, Kyler Murray is

189
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: playing like his hair is on fire, and you know,

190
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: I mean, but you know, this might be the game

191
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: where you actually see Chase Edmonds get more involved in

192
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: the offense. I think also you have to look at Baltimore.

193
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: They're playing Detroit. Lets see, that's the kind of game.

194
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: Detroit can be scary because just when you think the

195
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,719
Speaker 1: Lions like, oh my goodness, they'll come out and just

196
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, pull, you know, just pull a snot glob

197
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: on you and just beat the living daylights on the

198
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: other team. Plus, you know, there's got to be a

199
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: letdown after that emotional win against the chief for the

200
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: rate for the Ravens, and they're on the road, so

201
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, now you guys are speaking my language.

202
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to my sleeper pick of the week,

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: and that is Mr Jared Goff. I think Jared is

204
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: a viable starter this week. You know, let's think about this, right.

205
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: He's averaging four points per game through two weeks in

206
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Baltimore has the worst passing defense in the NFL, letning

207
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: up three into seventy six yards per game. What do

208
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: you think, Rich, I'm gonna take a sleeper pick in

209
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: the same exact game. I'm gonna go with Tyson Williams,

210
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: the running back for the Ravens. I think I could

211
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: see the first half been a little difficult for the

212
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: Ravens d just for the emotional letdown from the chief game.

213
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: But I would expect him to get things rolling, build

214
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: up a lead, and then they're going to milk the clock.

215
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: And I believe that Tyson Williams, we'll have a big

216
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: game and another guy I like. I was debating which

217
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: Williams I like. I also like Mike Williams and the

218
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,959
Speaker 1: Chargers Chiefs Charges should be high scoring game. I know

219
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: what Damien said that the Chiefs give up a lot

220
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: of rushing yards, but keep in mind they did play

221
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland and Baltimore probably the two best rushing teams in

222
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: the league. San Diego always seems to me, or the Chargers,

223
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: I should say, always has difficulty running the ball. So

224
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a high scoring game, and

225
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I think Mike Williams will have a lot of targets.

226
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: It's no longer San Diego, is it now. It's a

227
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: common error. It's a common or. I am afraid to

228
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: answer this question because when you asked me Rich week one,

229
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: who are you looking at as a sleeper? And I

230
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: said Gus Edwards. The next day he went on the

231
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 1: I r literally the next day. And so now I'm sorry.

232
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: I like James White, please, it's I stay healthy, Mr White,

233
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: and because he's gonna split the backfield with Damien Harris,

234
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: and you know, and I said, I didn't trust the

235
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: New England backfield, but you know what it's they're not

236
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: They're kind of running out of options, you know. I

237
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: gotta say after Week one, I went out and picked

238
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: up the New Orleans because right New Orngland's playing New

239
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: Orleans this week, and I went out and picked up

240
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: the New Orleans defense, and all my leagues after what

241
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: they did Taron Rodgers and boy, I mean that lost

242
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: me one game. I mean, I I benched the Bills

243
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: egg in my face. I mean, it's just it's tough

244
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: to get a handle on what's going on with that

245
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,599
Speaker 1: New Orleans D But I love that pick I do.

246
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: I like James White Well. I knew that that Aaron

247
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers with in the Green Bay Packers they were going

248
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: to beat the Lions because when he got benched in

249
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: week one, I'm like, oh no, and we're going into

250
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: the lambeau Field and we gotta deal with this, and

251
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, everybody is all mad and forget even now,

252
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: even Aaron Rogers, he has his little hair thing now

253
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: in a bun. I'm like, well, you knew it was
