Speaker 1: the world of sports. Week four in the NFL. Now

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: in the book some impressive performances even with the disruptions

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 1: from coronavirus. Let's dive into our weekly fantasy chat with

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Radio producer Rich Truman, and he has an excellent

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: fantasy football column that comes out every Thursday this season

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: on the Terminal'll make sure to check that out. And

10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: we're joined by Bloomberg Intelligences Damian sassaur. Let's start first

11
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: of all with the news that is out now, how

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: this is? This might miss everything up for this week.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: New England Patriots cornerback Stephen Gilmore has tested positive for

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and this is on now. They canceled practice

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: for Wednesday. This is on top of what happened with

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, who also tested positive, Damian, and they had

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: to push the Kansas City game back. So what happens

18
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: now with this, Well, I think we have to start

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton, right because you know, even though he

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: continues to show no symptoms. According to the NFL's you

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: know COVID nineteen policy, you know, you need to test

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: consecutively twenty four hours apart as being negative returned to clear.

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: You need to get a team doctor to to return you.

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: And all this stuff makes it very, very difficult for

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: me to envision that Kim is going to be back

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: in time to play Denver this week. And now you're

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: right with Gilmore on top of that, you know, certainly

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: New England's hurting and they're a little bit depleted. Now

29
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the injuries that happened. And

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: if you're a Nick Chubb fan and you owned him, uh,

31
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: he is out at least about four to six weeks

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: with a knee injury. I know somebody sitting here me

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: who owns him. So then I decided rich to try

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: to go pick up uh Dern's Johnson with Chubb out. Now,

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: do you think that was a good pickup? Yeah? Because

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: they I think they rushed. Uh it was the Cowboys.

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: I believe they rushed for about three hundred yards. And

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: if that game was any indication they're going what they

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: did during their season, They're gonna split carries between their

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: top two backs it was Chubb and cream Hunt. Now

41
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna be cream Hunt and Johnson. So I think

42
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: that's a good pickup, especially you know creem Hunt has

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: uh was a little banged up going into that game,

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: So I think that was a good pickup for you. Now, Rich,

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: you also had the pickup of the week. Unfortunately, that's

46
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: what saved me in winning for my team. Your pickup

47
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon, This is what you should be. This

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: is the guy you should be playing well. In my

49
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: article each week, I go for value plays. I don't

50
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: go for the Mahomes, little Lamar Jackson's of the week.

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: I try to go for players and I think have value.

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: And Joe Mixon was very disappointing because in my other league,

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: I had Joe Mixon and I thought if there was

54
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: every game he was going to break out, it wasn't

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna get It was against Jacksonville because even though he

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 1: wasn't having a lot of Fantasy points, he was getting

57
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot of touches a game. I believe he was

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: averaging nineteen or twenty touches a game, so he was

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: due to break out. And last week was the game

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: that he broke out. Oh but enough about talking about

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: my team, Damien. You talk about my team for a

62
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: while because I played Damian and I thought it was

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. Now that's the Monday night game Green Bay,

64
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: and I've made mistake one oh one in fantasy that

65
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: he tweeted that morning, Hey guys, am I gonna play?

66
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I had no one else to

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: go into my other league took a big, fat zero,

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: and that fat zero cost me the victory in that league.

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Dam Yeah, no, it certainly did the same to me, Michael,

70
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: And I think what's what most interesting is you had

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: nine games at one o'clock on Sunday, Nine games, right,

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: so I mean Davante Adams situation, which you weren't going

73
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: to find out about until Monday. I mean all your

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: bench spots were probably taken up by then, so you know,

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: it just creates this in addition to the virus. I mean,

76
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: it's just creating, you know, very difficult issues here. I'll

77
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: give you one. You know, I got to call him

78
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: a commissioner in another league on Thursday night ahead of

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: the Jets Denver game. You know, he was asking because

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: at that point the NFL hadn't formally switched the bye

81
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: weeks on the Titan Steelers, right they basically you thought

82
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: they were just going to basically reschedule later in the

83
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: season and then the points would reapply to Week four.

84
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: When they announced it would be a bye week, that

85
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: changed everything. So any when you put on I R

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: from a tight you know, Derrick Kennry to James James Conner.

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: You had to pull him off in time for the

88
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Sunday games, and that just created all sorts of issues,

89
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: for example, leaving Jamison Crowder and his seventeen points on

90
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: the bench. So you just have to deal with this

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: in this new environment, and it doesn't it doesn't make

92
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: things very interesting. I have to say, Rich, now, what

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks? What about a Bridgewater or Philip Rivers. I'm

94
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: not a big fellow Philip Rivers fan. I would avoid

95
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: him at all courts, but Bridgewater. He is playing the

96
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons this week. The Atlanta Falcons have one of

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the worst defenses in the league. So if you want

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: to take a chance and roll the dice, I think

99
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: that might be a good way to go. But one guy,

100
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: here's one game. I want to bring up. Cowboys Giants.

101
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Giants the worst scoring offense in the league forty seven

102
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: points this year, three offensive touchdowns. They're playing the Cowboys

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: who have given up the most points one forty six points.

104
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: So if there's ever a game that Daniel Jones might

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: break out of his slump, it could be this week

106
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: against Dallas. Yeah, the Giants make the Lions look good. Damian,

107
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,919
Speaker 1: what what about whiteouts? I was keeping my eye on

108
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: a couple of You see anything you like? So you know,

109
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean luck. You know. The one thing that caught

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: my mind last week was the goose egg by Calvin Ridley.

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean that's his first not catch performance since his

112
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: NFL debut in eighteen. And then you had lock In

113
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones. A lot of under performers last week,

114
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: but I mean Amari Cooper stands out to me. Just

115
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: going back to Dallas Giants twelve receptions, one for a touchdown.

116
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Press got passed for five hundred two

117
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns last week. I think you could

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: expect maybe not numbers like that, but more of the same,

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: certainly from the Dallas offense, certainly against the Giants and

120
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: rich because we've had injuries to running backs. I remember

121
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: now Austin Ekeler for San Diego. He's going to be

122
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: out for four to six weeks. So now maybe you're

123
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: looking at a Joshua Kelly or maybe even a Justin Jackson. Oh,

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: I just picked in my other league. I did pick

125
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: up Justin Jackson. He showed some signs last year have

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: been a good runner. Um Kelly has had some fumbling

127
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: problems this year, so I think, uh, and is going

128
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: to be out for at least six weeks. It looks

129
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: like so I think Justin Jackson's could pick up if

130
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: he's still available. David, you gotta hear this story. So

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: we're talking yesterday about my other quarter I have two

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the league, uh, the other one being Fitzpatrick.

133
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: And there was a story that came out, Ah, Fitzpatrick

134
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: might not start for week five. So I said, rich Man,

135
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: I gotta do something, man, because Fitzpatrick might not start.

136
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: Oh really, So the next thing I know, Man, he

137
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: has spent all this money on TOA. I'll give you

138
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: a little background. I drafted to A this year because

139
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: my quarterbacks, I think on my weakest part of the team.

140
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: So I had drafted to it. But because of all

141
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: this confusion, on games being postponed. I needed to drop

142
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: him to pick somebody up to play this week, which

143
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I ended up not playing. That's another story. So me

144
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: thinking that I want that. I think to is going

145
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback in the at least the last five, six,

146
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: maybe eight games of the season, and he has the

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: potential as Damien has talked about having the running and passing.

148
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: I said, I need to. We had that conversation. I said, oh, no,

149
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna go after Toah. So I don't have much. Uh,

150
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of my budget left, but

151
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I put a decent apportion just so I can grab

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: twous so you can get him. You never made a

153
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: bit on him. I have five dollars left on my

154
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: FAB money. But I'm hoping that Toa gets a start

155
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: for the last half of the season. Oh Dad, you

156
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: should have heard it in your conversation. You didn't need

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: a seven second delay, you needed a seven year delay.

158
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Was mad and I was laughing. I'm not gonna lie,

159
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: but but you know, it's that's the thing about fantasy explain,

160
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: especially with the FAB budget. It's like, and I guess

161
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: I asked to both of you. I'll start with you rich,

162
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: how much do you spend in increments for the week

163
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: or do you just Hey, I'm gonna go and go. Now,

164
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: if let's assuming that you have a hundred dollar fab well,

165
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Damian Sassare, who won his other league,

166
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: which is Big Bucks Wall Street League, said on one

167
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: of these podcasts, I like to spend a lot of

168
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: money early. So with that being said, and I gotta

169
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 1: be honest with you. The league I've done with my

170
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: friends for thirty years, we don't do FAB money. We

171
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: used to worse, uh, the team with the worst record,

172
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: worse points because the first pick and so on. So

173
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: this is my second year of doing FAB money. I'm

174
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: not his experience. So Damien had said, I spent a

175
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: lot of money earlier. That's way. You spent a lot

176
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: of minute money on hims early and rams running back early.

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: And so when say Kwan was out for the year,

178
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: DeVante Freeman signed with the Giants, and I thought he's

179
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: going to be the main running back. Give it a

180
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. So I spent way too much money

181
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: at DeVante Freeman, and I left myself with not as

182
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: much money. So I pretty much have no money left

183
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: my fab money. He's got round the noodle budget now

184
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: five dollars left. I think the way you have to

185
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: think your FAB budget and you have to always look

186
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: at it as a percentage of what your wallet is

187
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: at any given point in time. Right, So for example,

188
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: this week, a guy who jumps out of me is

189
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, right. I mean, he's the lone bright spot

190
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: from that New England massacre in Kansas City. And look,

191
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough to to get behind any New

192
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: England running back, but the former Alabama product that should

193
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: handle a first or second down role with Tony Michelle out,

194
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: and you know, I could see people spending their FAB

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: budget on somebody like that. I did draft him in

196
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: our draft and dropped him later on. But I guess

197
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: that's exactly the point, you know, I have to think

198
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: of it as a percentage of your wallet left. But

199
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: but to your point, Rich, and you're absolutely right. In

200
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: the first three to four weeks the season, you're gonna

201
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: see guys that you didn't see before, and then there's

202
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: this lag until you get to the end of the season.

203
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: So you definitely want to save some money, especially as

204
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: you get towards the end of the season, just because

205
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna have guys like Michael Barrow are gonna block

206
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: you every which way you look if you're playing him

207
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Guys, I have to bring up the

208
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: dreaded tight end position that has been a tough position

209
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: to score some points out of rich Do you have

210
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: any suggestions? Well which last week? I guess we should

211
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: have suggested the Green Bay tight end who had three

212
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns catches and George and George Kittle lit it up

213
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: last week. Also you talking about Robert yes, you know

214
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: what with with his main weapons out Davante Adams. I

215
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: guess uh Rogers found a new favorite target he likes.

216
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: But interesting, you know, there's been a lot of disappointments

217
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: at tight end. I'm mainly Evan Angram on the Giants

218
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment, but you got you got and

219
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: and I have zach Arts in my other league. He's

220
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: been a disappointment. I never saw a stat line like

221
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: as four catches for nine yards the other day. Man, Yeah,

222
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Robert Tonyan looked really good. Three touchdowns, right, and of

223
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: course Kittle, I mean, welcome back one touchdown and he

224
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: did it with two quarterbacks and none of them were

225
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: at the starter right Mullins, and then he was benched

226
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: that halftime for for better to You know, it's interesting

227
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: to see which Titans stand out, and Kittle is just

228
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: an ace among among the deck in my opinion. And

229
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: by the way, keep in mind we've got bye weeks

230
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: that start in week five. That means Detroit's out, Green

231
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: Bay is out. So make those adjustments, uh, in your

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: in your lineups. And by the way, if you're in

233
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: a Survivor league, don't pick San Francisco because that's what

234
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: I picked and I got knocked out, one of the

235
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: two teams in this I got knocked out. And and

236
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, my wife is like, good, You're gonna pick

237
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco And that's great. I am so happy for

238
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: you because you on the right team and they showed

239
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: up and laid an egg. I was gonna say something else,

240
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: but we are on got broadcasting practices here. So Damien,

241
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: do you have any selections for the upcoming pools that

242
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: now I have one team? Indeed I do. Mr bar

243
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: will look the high the high the highest margins are

244
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: going to be in the favor of people like Kansas

245
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: City in Baltimore. But you know, you want to probably

246
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: reserve them in your survivor pool. Dallas first of the Giants.

247
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: Dallas given up nine and a half points to the Giants,

248
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: New England giving up eight and a half points to Denver.

249
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: So New England and Dallas kind of stand up. But

250
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: for me, it's going to be Arizona playing the Jets.

251
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's the pick pick for me and any

252
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: survivor pool. And Donald's not playing this week. Oh man,
