Speaker 2: It's being your Man.

00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Name j Marcus Grand joined by Michael Flooryo and Lakwan Joe.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: They special short episode here on Thursday as we get

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: ready for Chickoff Ravens Chiefs tonight. We've got Packers and

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Eagles from South Paulo on Friday, so we'll dive into

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: some of our week one calls.

9
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: We'll give you.

10
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Our top scores, we'll give you our favorite sleepers and

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: the guys the Baby will let you down in Week one.

12
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: But first, fellas, let's get started with a fantasy headline,

13
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: and it's the same headline now that it has been

14
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: for the last couple of days. Mostly keeping an eye

15
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: on Jamar Chase and his situation, Floryo. As you pointed

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: out before the show, the latest we have seen is

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase in pads, crossing the street, presumably without the

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: help of a crossing guard as the Bengals go from

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: their workout facility to their actual practice field. Still don't

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: know officially if he's going to be there for the

21
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: Bengals season opener, they certainly have not come to any

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: sort of contract agreement at the time of this recording.

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: So Flora, I mean, I'll ask you, is there any scenario,

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: Let's say he does somehow play, but we don't find

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: out until maybe before kickoff.

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: Is there any scenario where you bench Jamar.

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: Chase if Jamar Chase plays, And I think it's learning

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: to look more and more likely. Like I mean, back

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: at practice two days in a row, Joe Burrow has

30
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: already said like he kind of expects him to be

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: out there, at least I read that last night. So

32
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: I think if Jamar Chase plays, you play him in

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: fantasy unless you have another stud option that you just like.

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: If you're in like a shallower league than anything like

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: twelve team or deeper, I think you roll with Chase.

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: My personal conundrum Nicolette's team, I have to decide do

37
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: we start Jamar Chase or do we go Rashid Rice,

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: who I do consider to be kind of a stud

39
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: on the bench. So I've been going back and forth

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 3: on that. If you're in that kind of situation, maybe

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: you could get away, but otherwise I.

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: Think you have to go Chase. Nothing more.

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Stressful than having to set the significant others, would you play.

44
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: Rice or Chase? Because I'm asking everyone.

45
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 4: That I was about to jump in, like that's the

46
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: scenario I had as an example where I'd rather play

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 4: Rice if you're worried about that slow start against a

48
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: really good defense like the Patriots are still one of

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 4: those defenses you have to prepare for, and that's kind

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: of probably why he's been at practice these last two

51
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 4: days to prep for this game. So it's like if

52
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: you have like another option that you could feel in

53
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 4: because like a great example of having like a Cooper

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: Cup or a Nico Collins as like you're one two

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: three with Chase and it's like those are scenarios where

56
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: like you could just plug and play both of those

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: guys because they have.

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: Favorable matchups this week and it's only week one.

59
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: Like I'm not trying to be too stressed out saying

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 4: line like I'm trying to enjoy football this week, so

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 4: like avoid the headaches, man, Like, if you have other options,

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: I'm starting the man, especially if the matchups are.

63
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: Great, especially with y'all talk about Rashet Rice.

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a field goal or two might be

65
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: enough to beat the Patriots.

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: You're not wrong about that. At least she Rice too.

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: There's no Marquise Brown, so that potentially means more opportunity.

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: For but she has my homes, so we got that

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: stuff going on.

70
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Then it's there, it's done. It's a wrap. You're starting

71
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: with sheet Rice for sure. All let's get let's get

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: into some of our big calls for week one. We're

73
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna start big. We're gonna start with club dub. Normally

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: club dubs, the guys we think you're gonna score twenty

75
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: points or more. But let's go with who we think

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be maybe the top scorer of the week.

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a quarterback, maybe it's a wide receiver. Who

78
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: will let me know who it is, Lakwan, Who is

79
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: your number one scorer this week?

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 5: It's Josh Allen. Man, this is Florio's guy.

81
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: So I was just so surprised not to see him

82
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: on your list on the show, sheet Man. But this

83
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: Arizona Cardinals defense is trash. It's still trash.

84
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 5: No notable additions.

85
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: I mean, like Josh Allen's gonna go out there and

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: like we were talking about it yesterday at breakfast of

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 4: him putting that narrative, narrative, you know on his side

88
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: for MVP, where it's like he's gonna go out there

89
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: and show that he's still one of the elite quarterbacks

90
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: out there, and like you're looking at this Cardinal secondary.

91
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: They've been struggling, you know, from last season, and so

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: it's like you have Curtis Sam, you have Kean Coleman,

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 4: you have Close Shakir. So this is going to be

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: a defense that's gonna have a headache with this Joe

95
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: Brady offense. Man, Like they were four and most fancy

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 4: points allowed to quarterbacks third and most touchdowns to quarterbacks

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: top ten and most rushing yards allowed to quarterbacks last season.

98
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: Josh Allen's going to be the Club dub winner this week.

99
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be so many points scored in

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: that game. I like pretty much all the major pieces

101
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: on both sides in that one.

102
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 5: Some great matchups.

103
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so wait, now, Lakwan picks a Bill Florida, you

104
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: pick a Ram. What the hell is happening on this

105
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: show right now?

106
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: Not only like I know where this is an audio

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: only show, but that's the sound of the money gun.

108
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: I still have the money gun from Club dub baby,

109
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 3: I gotta pick this all up now, and yeah, that's

110
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: but you heard it. Yeah, I'm going with Cooper Cup.

111
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: I might not be a Rams fan, but I love

112
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: me some Cooper Cup. And he is healthy. He was

113
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: a wide receiver one down the stretch last year. And

114
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 3: look when the Lions played the Rams in the playoffs,

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford threw for three sixty seven and two. I think,

116
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: just with everyone healthy, this is going to be one

117
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: of the highest scoring games of the week. I went

118
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 3: with the safe my safe pick here though, because the

119
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 3: other name I was pretty I almost I had it

120
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: typed out and then deleted. It was Malik Neighbors. But

121
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: I thought that might be a little bit too bold

122
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 3: for week one. I have a very bold prediction coming

123
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: out later this week with him. But give me Cooper Cup.

124
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: I think he eats in week one.

125
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: All right, So you're taking Cooper Cup, I'm gonna take

126
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: the guy on the other side of that game, because

127
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: this is what you're gonna hear.

128
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: If you're you're guarding this man, it's probably what you're

129
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: gonna hear, very very.

130
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: Quietly, whispered Jamar ch Jaalen Waddell DeVonta Smith, Kadarius Tony,

131
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman, Elijah Moore, Rondelle Moore, Dwayne Escrits two too well,

132
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Terrace Marshall Junior, Josh Palmer, Theammi Brown, a, Mario Rodgers,

133
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: Nico Collins, Anthony Schwartz, Deskits Patrick It's I'm on Ross

134
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: Saint Brown listing off the names of all the guys

135
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: who were drafted ahead of him. I mean, he has

136
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: been an absolute stud. Look at that draft class. Really,

137
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is the only one that really compares to

138
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: him statistically so far in his career. He's gonna He's

139
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: gonna light it up again and what's gonna be one

140
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: of the higher scoring, more entertaining offensive games of the week.

141
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: So give me ursba as Adam Rank or Patrick Claibonn

142
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: might call him at this point. Moving on to the

143
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: category we're calling the snore Lax, which made me chuckle

144
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: when I saw it on the show sheet. It is

145
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: our favorite Week one sleeper. Who are who are folks

146
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: sleeping on this week?

147
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 4: Lakwan oh Man, the Mario Douglas Man one hundred percent, man,

148
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: I love this matchup like it's so juicy to where

149
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 4: like I wish I could force him into some of

150
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: my starting lineups this week, because man, you're looking at

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals defense man, they have absolutely been on

152
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 4: the trash radar as well, especially coming from a guy

153
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: that's going to be playing the slot, and both of

154
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 4: their starting linebackers are terrible in covers. They allowed a

155
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 4: seventy three percent and seventy eight percent completion rate when

156
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 4: they're targeted. And you have a guy that's approven playmaker

157
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: in this Patriots offense that can create after to catch

158
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: sixty percent of his yards after to catch. Man, that

159
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: is top five in the NFL. With notable guys like

160
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel, you have guys like Rashid Rice, Like this

161
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: is a top tier playmaker here that's going undrafted in

162
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: a lot of leagues. So he is the Snorlax as

163
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: Floria would say this week for me.

164
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pop Douglas Man. I think when we talk about

165
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Patriots receivers, his name hasn't come up a lot, but

166
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: he does have a really good opportunity in this offense. Uh,

167
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: you are going with a rookie as your your sleeper

168
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: of the week, Floria, Yeah, get.

169
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: The poke flute out. I think that's what it was called.

170
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: You need to wake up to wake up snoorlax. I

171
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 3: like Brian Thomas Junior this week because look, I know

172
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: he was drafted a lot of teams, but he's probably

173
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 3: sitting on a lot of benches out there, and I

174
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 3: was just thinking about, like, what game I think could

175
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: be really high scoring this week and Dolphins Jags outside

176
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: of a couple of primetime games, I think figures to

177
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: be one of the most high scoring games of the week.

178
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 3: And if Dolphins are putting up lots of points, like

179
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: I expect, the Jags are gonna have to throw the ball.

180
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 3: They'll probably take a couple of deep shots. I think

181
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: that'll go to Brian Thomas Junior. I'm hoping it's not

182
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis that kind of comes in and steals all

183
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: of those targets. But Thomas, we know could play and

184
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: everything obviously, like if you have Christian Kirk, you know

185
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: to play him. But I think Thomas, if he is

186
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 3: the number two wide receiver in terms of targets, has

187
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: a chance to go out and have himself a sneaky

188
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: big game.

189
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm curious to watch Brian Thomas.

190
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: I had him projected just kind of for a mild

191
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: medium total or whatever, but I think if he scores

192
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown that can certainly change. And I like Evan

193
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: Ingram And speaking of tight ends, my sleeper for the

194
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: week is noa Fan and I like this one. I'm

195
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: starting to get excited about the Seahawks offense. I'm starting

196
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to get excited about what Ryan Grubb can bring and

197
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: at Washington he really did like featuring the tight end,

198
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: like using him over the middle of the field. And

199
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: Fans is still an athletic player, has just never really

200
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: been in a great situation offensively. A lot of his

201
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: competition has gone no more Will Disley, no more Kobe Parkinson,

202
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: so you don't have to worry about snare sharing those

203
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: snaps and targets. So I think though Fan gets off

204
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: to a good start, especially against the Broncos, who were

205
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: absolutely awful. There was one thing that we knew last year.

206
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Start your tight ends against the Denver Broncos. They will

207
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: probably be a little bit better this year, but I'm

208
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: still willing to take that shot in the early part

209
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: of the season.

210
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: So those are sleepers for Week one.

211
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about the guys who will be the duds,

212
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: the big name players who may leave you disappointed.

213
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: And Lakwan, you went really really big here.

214
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Justin Jefferson, man, And like,

215
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 4: I'm not telling you to go out there and bench him.

216
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 4: I just want your expectations to be in order because

217
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 4: his quarterback is Sam Darnold. And this Giants defense, man,

218
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: this defensive line is under rated right now. They added

219
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: Brian Burns, which is going to be a huge addition

220
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: for them to get into the sack category because that's

221
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: where they were at the bottom of the table. And

222
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 4: then they bring over defensive coordinator Shane Bowen from the Titans. Man,

223
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 4: and we already know that Titans defense kept guys out

224
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 4: of the end zone. So I'm not really banking on

225
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson to be lighting it up this week. So, man,

226
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: this is going to be a hard game, you know,

227
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: for Justin Jefferson with Sam Darno as his quarterback.

228
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson, you heard it here.

229
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 2: First, I didn't say that panic there will be in

230
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: the Twitter streets.

231
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: Just just panic in the Twitter streets if Justin Jefferson

232
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: does not get off to a good start, for sure.

233
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 1: So I said, I like the Seattle offense, but now

234
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: you're saying that one of their guys is going to

235
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: be a dud Florio.

236
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: I hope I'm wrong on this because I have him

237
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: on a whole bunch of teams and I think he

238
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 3: is going to have a breakout season. But DK metcalf

239
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: has to line up opposite of Pat Sartan in Week

240
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: one and shout out to Certain he got that Terry

241
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: Rozier money.

242
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm stealing that bit.

243
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: By the way, anytime an NFL player signs, I'm finding

244
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: a mediocre NBA player who makes the exact same amount

245
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: of money. But DK like he easily could have a

246
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 3: big game if he catches like a long touchdown or

247
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: something like that. But not only am I worried about Certain,

248
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: I'm worried about the fact that the Broncos really struggled

249
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: against the run last year. So I'm thinking this is

250
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: a Kenneth Walker game. I think he's in for a

251
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: big Week one in a big season. I still think

252
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: you start DK, just like Lakwan said with Justin Jefferson,

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: just don't be surprised if he disappoints. And the thing

254
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: is for DK, he's no one's won, he's most people's two,

255
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 3: and in my bills, he's my three in a lot.

256
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: So I'm okay taking the boombus risk with him as

257
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 3: a three this week. But yeah, just just temper your

258
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 3: expectation a little.

259
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: Bit, so instead of a full cup of coffee, you

260
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: may be getting some decaf metcalf in. We want just

261
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: be prepared for that one.

262
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

263
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: With that, we're gonna keep this big name wide receiver

264
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: theme going. And I'm gonna say, Amari Cooper is gonna

265
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: be a frustrating start in week one.

266
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

267
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: We remember the end of the season and he was

268
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: so much better with Joe Flacco at the end of

269
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: the year versus with Deshaun Watson in the early part

270
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: of the year. And you know, there has not been

271
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot of positive chatter around Deshaun Watson's on

272
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: field performance, certainly in past season, but even in this

273
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: this offseason, we haven't seen a lot of them. Just

274
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: there's not a lot to really hang your hat on

275
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: with this group. Throwing the fact that you've got a

276
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: cowboy pass rush that is going to be fierce, You've

277
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: got a very aggressive ballhawking secondary, and yeah, it's.

278
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 2: A little bit of an a mari Cooper revenge game.

279
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: But you know, I just have a feeling that it

280
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: may be tough to get the football to him. I

281
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: don't know there's gonna be a lot of points scored

282
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: in this Cowboys Browns game. I think it's going to

283
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: be one of the lower scoring games of the week.

284
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: So there will be better games for a Marii Cooper.

285
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: I just don't think they happen in Week one.

286
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: But sort of like your point there with DK Metcalf Florio,

287
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: Cooper's not going to be a wide receiver one for

288
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: a lot of teams.

289
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: He's a secondary option.

290
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: So maybe you have somebody on your bench in shallower

291
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: leagues that you like better, or maybe there's just a

292
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: way to kind of flex him and try to mitigate

293
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: what could be a disappointing day for Mary Cooper.

294
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: Cooper might be the wide receiver I have on most rosters,

295
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: so that one made me very sad.

296
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: Oh starting line side note though, why isn't Joe Flacco

297
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: a starting quarterback in the NFL? Because, like you mentioned

298
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 4: that A Marii Cooper was so much better, which he

299
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 4: was with Joe Flacco, So it's like, why didn't the

300
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 4: Raiders or somebody pick him up. Man like Devonte Adams

301
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 4: will be a first round pick if Joe Flacco is

302
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: starting quarterback going into no.

303
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe you don't want a guy who was

304
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: napping on the bench because you know he was up

305
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: because he was up all night with the Like I

306
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: get it. Like I'm not hating, like I understand, I

307
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: understand how that goes. But you know, it's kind of

308
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: hard hard to expect out of your starting quarterback.

309
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: For sure.

310
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: It's a short show we're doing, Like we're gonna do

311
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: some short shows for you during the week, and not

312
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: everyone will be the fully loaded shows that we normally do.

313
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, Floyd, I'll start with

314
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: you any last minute advice to get folks ready for

315
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: week one, the big one.

316
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Take a Thursday night and Friday night players out of

317
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: your flex spot. Put them in your wide receiver or

318
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: running back spot. I know it's week one and we

319
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about injuries as much, but it's

320
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: just a good habit to get into to just in

321
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: case you ever have to sub one someone in or out.

322
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: But I think when it comes to week one and

323
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 3: I look, I tell people to draft rookies all the

324
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: time and to take upside shots and stuff like that,

325
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 3: But I think when it comes to setting your week

326
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 3: one lineup, if you're debating between two players and one

327
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 3: has like a clear cut safe role in their offense

328
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: and the other one, we're not really sure of, go

329
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: with the safer option in week one because we're figuring

330
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 3: out so much. I know, we all talk like we

331
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: know all the answers to the test, but the first

332
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 3: couple of weeks we learn so much about usage and

333
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 3: play calling and everything that if you have a guy

334
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 3: that has guaranteed touches and guaranteed volume, I I'm opting

335
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: to play those players in week one. I'll take my

336
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: upside chances a little bit later in the season, but

337
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: right now, I think if you want to start one

338
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: to know, and a good way of doing that is

339
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: just getting guys that you know are gonna be touching

340
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 3: the ball and stepping on the field.

341
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: Any tips from you will Kwan enjoy week one, go

342
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 4: with your gut, getting the habit of going with your gut,

343
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 4: and don't overthink it.

344
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 2: Man.

345
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,440
