Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, welcome to another edition of the Stardom
Speaker 1: Citam Show.
Speaker 2: We are with you every week to go over the
Speaker 2: column that Michael F.
Speaker 1: Florio rights that you can find at NFL dot com
Speaker 1: slash at NFL dot com slash start sit Uh. It's
Speaker 1: week two, man, Like I know you had like a
Speaker 1: ton of time to write week one. Have you found
Speaker 1: the rhythm? Now that here and we're in week two.
Speaker 3: I tried something new in cause this is, like you said,
Speaker 3: is the first week where I have to get it
Speaker 3: all done Sunday night and all Monday. So I used
Speaker 3: to try to be like, all right, let me write
Speaker 3: about quarterbacks and running backs on Sunday. But those are
Speaker 3: the positions that you need a lot of research to
Speaker 3: go into. So what I did instead, I spent a
Speaker 3: lot of time Sunday researching for the names I'm gonna pick,
Speaker 3: and then I just bang out defense and kickers. So
Speaker 3: cause I when I would get to let me tell you,
Speaker 3: Monday night rolls around and you're sitting there and they're like, okay,
Speaker 3: I've wrote about all these positions. Now I got to
Speaker 3: write about defense and kickers at like six pm on
Speaker 3: Monday night. It is the worst. So I was like,
Speaker 3: let me get that out of the way early and
Speaker 3: then I could focus on the rest. And I think
Speaker 3: this is going to be how I do it the
Speaker 3: rest of the week, because Monday night was much more
Speaker 3: enjoyable for me.
Speaker 1: It really does make you reevaluate your life choices when
Speaker 1: you're doing that sort of thing, especially on a Monday night.
Speaker 1: For sure, we are going to go through the quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends that Florial suggests
Speaker 1: you start and sit this week, So let's start with
Speaker 1: the qbs.
Speaker 2: Who's up and who's down in Week two?
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson at the Packers must start. I'm gonna stop
Speaker 3: writing about him because I'm just going to assume that
Speaker 3: everyone is playing him every single week. Jayden Daniels, I
Speaker 3: think is quickly going to get to that point as well.
Speaker 3: He gets the Giants this week. I'm going back for
Speaker 3: more with Jared Goff in a good matchup against the Bucks.
Speaker 3: I think Brock Purdy, who didn't have a good Fantasy
Speaker 3: game but played excellent football on Monday Night against the Vikings,
Speaker 3: is in play and one that I know you love, Marcus,
Speaker 3: and I think we could get you on board, maybe
Speaker 3: Lakwan if you're not already, but Baker Mayfield against the Lions,
Speaker 3: and then my sits Justin Herbert at the Panthers. I
Speaker 3: think it is a trap game. Caleb Williams at the Texans.
Speaker 3: I need to see it first. Same thing with Rogers
Speaker 3: and Kirk Cousins. I need to see it. I need
Speaker 3: to see that they look healthy and they could give
Speaker 3: up normal fantasy production. And then Deshaun Watson because he
Speaker 3: is awful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty bad. I would talk about Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: I feel like I've talked about him so much this week,
Speaker 1: so I'm sort of gonna go against that one. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about Brock Perdy though, because uh, I mean, look, Lakwan,
Speaker 1: and I'm not picking on you to make you talk
Speaker 1: about a forty nine er on purpose again, but it
Speaker 1: is just it is just sort of a talking point
Speaker 1: right here, because look, Purdy was not fantasy wise, was
Speaker 1: not great in real football. He did everything the Niners
Speaker 1: asked him to. Yeah, do you feel better about him though,
Speaker 1: knowing he's got another week of Brandon Ayuk even if
Speaker 1: there's no Christian McCaffrey. Does having Brandon I you back
Speaker 1: from the weeks where to make you feel a little
Speaker 1: bit more confident in him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sure the rhythm is going to get there.
Speaker 4: You know, those guys are basically coming off the street
Speaker 4: playing you know, high electric football at a high pace.
Speaker 4: So it's like the frequency just wasn't there for Brandon
Speaker 4: at Uk and brock perty. I mean, the connection obviously
Speaker 4: wasn't connecting that one diving past the Iyuk had in
Speaker 4: the end zone. You know, those are the catches you
Speaker 4: make at practice if you were actually at camp. But
Speaker 4: it's one of those things like I look at the
Speaker 4: confidence and they have in Jordan Mason mmcmc's not back.
Speaker 4: I think this will be a matchup with the Blakns defense.
Speaker 4: He could literally, you know, put all the haters to bed.
Speaker 4: And I'm saying that as a Rams fan, but I'm
Speaker 4: just saying Brockberty is a great fantasy option.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 4: There's just a lot of the talks and buzz and
Speaker 4: fantasy streets that are kind of down on him as
Speaker 4: a fantasy quarterback. I compare him as like him and
Speaker 4: Jared Golf is like safe QB. You know, options to
Speaker 4: have him starting lineup, So you know, I think this
Speaker 4: will be a bounce back for that for that category
Speaker 4: there for rock Perty.
Speaker 1: I haven't hear the pain in his voice. I know, right,
Speaker 1: It's just it's just hurts.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking myself as I'm like saying, and they're like
Speaker 4: a doing that man like it's disgusting.
Speaker 1: I do have a roster with both brock Purdy and
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels, and I'm already seeing this is gonna
Speaker 1: be a weekly problem for me trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what to do.
Speaker 3: Who are you playing.
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: It's pretty, but like that's subject to change, literally at
Speaker 1: any moment.
Speaker 2: It's pretty for the moment, it could change the other way.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's a nick I have Daniels and Golf on a lot.
Speaker 3: I'm going Daniels this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I mean this is literally it
Speaker 2: could be. It could be a game time decision to
Speaker 2: see which one of these guys starts for me.
Speaker 1: So we'll say at the moment, uh, let's move one
Speaker 1: of the running backs, though, Floria, who do you like?
Speaker 2: Who do you not like?
Speaker 3: In Week two, James Connor because he is an RB
Speaker 3: one every time he steps on the field. As long
Speaker 3: as he's healthy, he is healthy. Kyler's healthy, RB one
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard who really dominated the volume last week. And
Speaker 3: I know people are like the Jets are a tough matchup.
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason just ran wild over them. So and the
Speaker 3: Jets struggled against their own last year a bit too.
Speaker 3: JK Dobbins against the Panthers must start. I think this week.
Speaker 3: I know it's only been one game. I don't care.
Speaker 3: They're playing the Panthers. And then Lakwan, you could celebrate
Speaker 3: on this one. Brian Robinson Junior.
Speaker 4: Podcast, when I'm surprised.
Speaker 3: Look, I put this on Twitter. My eyes I watched
Speaker 3: the game very closely. My eyes thought that Austin Eckler
Speaker 3: looked better. But usage is what matters, and the usage
Speaker 3: all went to Brian Robinson, so I got I gotta
Speaker 3: be objective. And then and then the six is a
Speaker 3: mere white. I'm petrified about his usage that we saw
Speaker 3: in week one, and I think if they're trailing, it's
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of Alexander Madison, Javonte Williams against
Speaker 3: the Steelers. My guy Austin Eckler, unfortunately, until I I
Speaker 3: love this, until he got six opportunities, until we see
Speaker 3: him get more. I think he has to be set
Speaker 3: Chuba Hubbard. I would rather put him back on the
Speaker 3: waiver wire than it might starting. Yeah, he's gone, yeah,
Speaker 3: same in a couple of spots, and then Chase Brown
Speaker 3: not enough volume.
Speaker 4: I'm on the week.
Speaker 1: So I had somebody ask me, uh lakwan about you know,
Speaker 1: a d an ad drop thing. They said, can I
Speaker 1: move on from Javonte Williams because I have j Julia
Speaker 1: McLoughlin and I. It took my breath away, like, are
Speaker 1: we are we really ready to say goodbye to Javonte?
Speaker 4: No yet, No, I know I told you to let
Speaker 4: it go over the summer, but he looked fresh during camp,
Speaker 4: and honestly, it's way too early to even know what's
Speaker 4: going on with this backfield. I mean, Sean Payton was
Speaker 4: naming six different running backs in his press conference and
Speaker 4: praising them all, So I think right now it's one
Speaker 4: of those things you just have to sit tight, see
Speaker 4: who gets into rhythms, see who gets the hot end,
Speaker 4: and kind of just sit patient. I mean, I have
Speaker 4: a few with Javonte Williams. I got sold kind of
Speaker 4: on him towards the back end in August, so I
Speaker 4: definitely feel as though it's a little too early thinking
Speaker 4: about dropping to the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talk about talking about naming all these
Speaker 1: these you're getting hit up by former Broncos running back
Speaker 1: Tatum Bell.
Speaker 2: I mean he might have got there.
Speaker 1: He might get some targets, bro, he might get some
Speaker 1: targets this week. If Sean Payton is talking up all
Speaker 1: these guys the way he has been, I just I
Speaker 1: really just was like, wait, why would I was like,
Speaker 1: why would you drop Javonte and not McLoughlin, And like,
Speaker 1: I just I know it's a debate right now, and
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I'm just not ready after one game
Speaker 1: to declare that Javonte is dead.
Speaker 3: I had both of them on the scattered at our
Speaker 3: own rosters. I'm cool sitting then everywhere, But no way,
Speaker 3: I haven't even considered dropping them yet.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I just I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't do this unless you're in like a shallow,
Speaker 3: shallow league.
Speaker 1: I guess, I guess ten teams or less than maybe
Speaker 1: you can you can talk about it, but anything more
Speaker 1: than ten teams.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, to both those guys.
Speaker 1: At this point, people, Yeah, like I get week one,
Speaker 1: It's week one. Everybody wants to make like a big move,
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is a week one that
Speaker 1: this is a this is a week one that did
Speaker 1: not lend itself to big moves. There was no just
Speaker 1: one like you gotta have a guy off the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: There was no player that was like so super bad
Speaker 1: that you just gotta bail. Just this just felt like
Speaker 1: a week to like preach patients and then let's let's
Speaker 1: regroup and try to figure some things out for a
Speaker 1: week two.
Speaker 3: Last year, I remember like we we thought we had
Speaker 3: some answers in week one, and then like by week five,
Speaker 3: we were like, oh, week one was a complete mirage,
Speaker 3: So let's let's let it settle's.
Speaker 4: This goes for defenses too, Like there's a couple of
Speaker 4: defenses I'm not really worried about, Like it's week four
Speaker 4: dress rehearsial game week one.
Speaker 3: Basically the only team I'd be petrified about right now
Speaker 3: is the Rams.
Speaker 2: Dog shots fired. That one fired.
Speaker 1: Man, Okay, well we're gonna We're gonna take a quick
Speaker 1: break so that you know, Lakwan can can heal him.
Speaker 1: After that a little bit, we will come back and
Speaker 1: we will deal with some wide receivers and tight ends.
Speaker 2: Right after this on the Stardom Situm Show, taking a.
Speaker 1: Look at Florio's start tight ends for week two.
Speaker 2: Go uh wide receivers, wide receivers. What do I say?
Speaker 3: It's sweet too. We're still we're still working at Keenan
Speaker 3: Allen Texans uh Lookeena had elite usage and we won.
Speaker 3: He was the go to guy for Caleb, So in
Speaker 3: a game where I think they're trailing, I'm gonna trust him,
Speaker 3: my guy Jamison Williams, he is breaking out. The usage
Speaker 3: was elite. I understand we haven't seen a floor game yet.
Speaker 3: Even if the floor is low, the ceiling I think
Speaker 3: is high enough where you got to get him, especially
Speaker 3: in a matchup like this against the Bucks. Chris Godwin.
Speaker 3: I know you guys love him. I love him as well.
Speaker 3: This week he's playing more out of the slot. Had
Speaker 3: a productive Week one. The Lions struggled against slot receivers
Speaker 3: and then Malik Neighbors. I've spoke him up on a
Speaker 3: lot of different shows this week, but a great matchup
Speaker 3: against the Commanders. My sits Jayden Reid. It's not him,
Speaker 3: it's his quarterback. I think outside of Josh Jacobs, there's
Speaker 3: probably not a packer I feel comfortable with starting in
Speaker 3: week two Calvin Ridley. I know he could have had
Speaker 3: a huge Week one, but he didn't. Will Levis didn't
Speaker 3: connect with him. And it's more so the matchup, which
Speaker 3: regardless of which side he lines up on more because
Speaker 3: he bounces back and forth. Two elite corners Deontay Johnson
Speaker 3: against the Chargers. This is more for shallower leagues like
Speaker 3: I have Deontay in a lot of three wide receiver
Speaker 3: leagues with a flex. I'm playing him there Courtland Sutton
Speaker 3: elite volume in week one, very little production, and then
Speaker 3: the Steelers matchup really scares me and JSN he was
Speaker 3: used like it was last year all over again, so
Speaker 3: that had me very worried after one year.
Speaker 1: Uh LaQuan, I know you were big on i'mon Ross
Speaker 1: Saint Brown bouncing back this week. Obviously it was the
Speaker 1: Jamis and Williams show last week. Is there room for
Speaker 1: both these guys to succeed? Also factoring in that Sam
Speaker 1: Laporte has got to get his somewhere along the way.
Speaker 4: I'm not on the Jay Jameson Williams hype train only
Speaker 4: because the RAMS secondary is lacking discipline. It's very young
Speaker 4: and again, we had three dbs starting dvs on IR,
Speaker 4: So it's one of those situations like he had to
Speaker 4: get loose, he had to, you know, make the big
Speaker 4: splash plays, and like I feel like I did like
Speaker 4: what I did see out of him as a route runner,
Speaker 4: as a guy that could be across the middle guy
Speaker 4: and get the yards out there to catch. Like I
Speaker 4: just feel as though you have to really like look
Speaker 4: at him as a matchup play guy, like he will
Speaker 4: have to be going up against the secondary that's banged
Speaker 4: up or a completely trash defense. But if he doesn't
Speaker 4: do it this week, man, it's one of those things
Speaker 4: where it's like, Okay, well we just got to figure
Speaker 4: out when we could slide him in and slide him out.
Speaker 1: Paul's If if for whatever reason, that Amanro Saint Brown
Speaker 1: doesn't do it this week, there will be panic in
Speaker 1: the streets. There will be two weeks in a row
Speaker 1: of him. Member, there will be straight up panic in
Speaker 1: which by the DIP, I guess is my advice to you.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna happen, but we'll see. But
Speaker 1: Jamis Williams really showed out in week one and it
Speaker 1: finally started to show up the promise that I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people had for him coming into the season.
Speaker 3: A Monro had a game last year three catches, twenty
Speaker 3: one yards. It was in the middle of the year.
Speaker 3: No one freaked out. He followed it up with like
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty yards in a touchdown. Yeah, we
Speaker 3: know the talent there, that's the thing.
Speaker 2: It's there.
Speaker 4: We know they exists.
Speaker 3: Do you guys think so real?
Speaker 2: Quick? Like?
Speaker 3: I think the Lions probably were like, let's showcase Jamison
Speaker 3: Williams in Week one, So now the rest of the
Speaker 3: league has to have that in the back. I think coaches.
Speaker 2: Operate that way.
Speaker 1: No very well could be, especially because you don't see
Speaker 1: these like you don't you don't show that off in
Speaker 1: preseason anymore.
Speaker 2: So now week one is sort of the way we
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's probably probably true. All right Now for
Speaker 1: real tight ends, start sit tight ends for week two?
Speaker 2: What do you got?
Speaker 3: I'm starting Isaiah likely because the usage was off the
Speaker 3: charts last week. But a lot of people and are like,
Speaker 3: does that mean I sit Mark Andrews. No, I think
Speaker 3: I think they coexist. They played two tight end sets,
Speaker 3: which when they're not in it, one of them is
Speaker 3: in the slot. They're going to be fine. Kyle Pitts,
Speaker 3: I think you continue to start this week. And then
Speaker 3: Brock Boers. I had him as a sit last week.
Speaker 3: I was worried because he missed a lot of time,
Speaker 3: but the usage was everything we were hoping for. And
Speaker 3: probably then some and then my sits. This one might
Speaker 3: be spicy, but I hated the usage for Evan Ingram.
Speaker 2: In week one.
Speaker 3: And the Browns are elite at shutting down tight ends,
Speaker 3: So taking a swing there, Dalton Schultz, coc Comet. They
Speaker 3: don't get enough volume behind the other wide receivers there.
Speaker 3: Pat Fryarmouth had twelve air yards I believe, like I
Speaker 3: have no interest in that. And then Taysom Hill, I
Speaker 3: know he had five carries. He also only ran five routes.
Speaker 3: The Saints use three tight ends. Starting Taysom Hill is
Speaker 3: hoping for a rushing touchdown.
Speaker 2: Starting Taysom Hill is.
Speaker 1: I compare it recently to it's like you know that
Speaker 1: sketchy Chinese food place down the street that leads menus
Speaker 1: on your door and finally you like you or you're like,
Speaker 1: you know, just give it a shot, right and like.
Speaker 2: Maybe it turns out to be good or maybe.
Speaker 1: You're like, we probably should have just got pizza, Like
Speaker 1: that's what Taysom Hill is like in your fantasy lineup.
Speaker 3: See, even when it's good, you're like, I don't know
Speaker 3: if I could trust this place again, right.
Speaker 1: Like it worked out this time, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's gonna work out next time for sure. Once he
Speaker 1: Friarmouth on the Sitts gives me a sad because I
Speaker 1: did draft him in a few places and now I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of stuff starting him.
Speaker 4: I think we like we drafted him thinking Russell would
Speaker 4: start though, like yeah, with Justin Fielders is going to be.
Speaker 1: Starting, I didn't think field is going to be starting
Speaker 1: from week one, right, I figured we get at least
Speaker 1: a few weeks of Russell Wilson and that would kind
Speaker 1: of help integrate him into the offense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who knows.
Speaker 1: So we're all Lakwanner you on with brock Buyers because
Speaker 1: I've been on board for a little while.
Speaker 2: Now Florio's on board this week. How do you feel
Speaker 2: about brock Bauers.
Speaker 4: It's a big question mark for me. Man. I did
Speaker 4: like the usage last week, Like Florio said, I mean
Speaker 4: him and Michael Maher are going to be coexisting together.
Speaker 4: So on a week to week basis, I'm not too
Speaker 4: sure what it looks like, but let's head on to
Speaker 4: week two to see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think certainly game script works in his
Speaker 1: favor this week, but the way they move him around
Speaker 1: the formation slot out wide, Getzi seems to find a
Speaker 1: way to get his tight ends involved, and I was
Speaker 1: really pleased with what we saw in week one. I
Speaker 1: hope that it increases in terms of volume for him
Speaker 1: in week two.
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's our quick look at some
Speaker 2: of the start sets for the week.
Speaker 1: For the full in depth look at it, you can
Speaker 1: go to a fil dot com slash start sit our
Speaker 1: Florio post those every single week. In the meantime, don't
Speaker 1: do it for this edition of the Stardom Sidham Show.
Speaker 1: We enjoy and appreciate you hanging out with us. Enjoy
Speaker 1: week two, Enjoy the football. Hopefully it is a happy
Speaker 1: and prosperous for you on the fantasy side as well
Speaker 1: as the real football side.
Speaker 2: The meantime, Enjoy the weekend and we'll talk to you
Speaker 2: again real soon.
