Let's get it on everybody.
It's the Get Sunday Cover podcast and you guys are going to have to forgive me, but
my fantasy team legitimately made me sick this week.
So I'm going to get right to it and welcome in Brandon and Jordan.
Guys, how we feeling?
Rough week.
Jordan got me.
Spec that ass.
Yeah.
Feeling pretty good.
It definitely wasn't like the highest scoring matchup, but it was decent.
I don't know.
Brandon was calling it.
I think he texted me.
It might have been like half time of like the afternoon games on Sundays, like good game.
This is over.
And I was like, no man, there's still plenty of time stuff could happen.
Drake London ended up having like a big game.
But yeah, it was fun.
It was good to get the one on Brandon.
It just feels good to get a win.
I don't know if I have a rival.
I just want to beat everybody.
So no hard feelings.
Just get the hell out of my way.
It was a championship rematch and Jordan got me again.
Damn.
You going to get your redemption at some point?
I'll get it later in the season and hopefully then that'll be when I mean, we'll see.
I mean, I'll get him when hopefully it counts this season.
Biggest, biggest thing that we were talking about at Texas Jordan and not we were texting
back and forth and I was like, dude, it's impossible to.
I didn't have anyone score a touchdown until what?
Monday night?
Uh, Sunday night.
No, Sunday night because I texted you.
Are you serious?
Is that a fact?
Yeah.
Drake London.
Yeah.
Drake London was the only person until King Kate scored a touchdown.
I had the touchdown differential between Jordan and I was six to two.
That right there was the biggest difference for the week.
That was the 20 point difference.
There's a 22 point spread.
That would have made our game a little bit more interesting, but when you're when you
don't get touchdowns, it, it doesn't work.
Yeah, you got to score touchdowns, man.
You got to score good.
I have a confession.
I have to talk about my matchup a little bit.
I played Steven this week and I was talking a lot of crap beforehand.
I definitely thought this was going to be a good matchup this week because I came into
it hot, man.
You know, check it out.
Like I, I think I did pretty good on the waiver last week.
I picked up some good people.
I got a Roma dunes a off the waiver wire, which was pretty sick.
Loved that.
Where was I also picked up?
Joann Jennings.
Yeah.
So yeah.
Yeah, Joann Jennings too didn't start him either.
And then, you know, I also have Brock Bowers on my lineup and he's been killing it.
So I figured this would be a good week for me to play him, right?
Cause he's been going off.
I've been playing Dallas Goddard above him.
Yeah.
So that's how my week went.
Goddard on the bench with 27 Joann Jennings on the bench with 46.5 Roma dunes on the bench
with 23.4.
I mean, you know how much I lost by I'm looking at it right now.
Yeah.
I lost by 18.
And if I would have played any of those over somebody in my lineup, I would have won.
That's unfortunate.
Yeah.
The Marcus Robinson was your biggest let down.
I don't, I don't blame you one bit for putting Bowers in over Goddard.
It just, I mean, Cody, we're talking about this before the podcast started about, um,
obviously with AJ Brown being down and then Devonte Smith getting knocked out of the game
with concussion.
Like I told Cody before that he was getting targeted some, but soon as he went down the
stats one Goddard got his, his big catches, big receptions, big yards, like, dude didn't
have a touchdown and like, so that kind of, you know, good for him.
Like, you know, obviously sake one's going to get the majority of the targets there in
the red zone now and keep her healthy and stuff like that.
But yeah, big week for Goddard.
I don't blame you one bit for playing Bowers.
It was just kind of a fluke week with a matchup he had to, I mean, Carolina, I mean, makes
total sense.
Red rifle coming in there.
I'm serious guys.
I'm pretty sure it was my fantasy matchup this week that made me sick.
Like, I almost threw up, honestly.
But Jordan, you like, you were talking about some of this though, and you mentioned this
to me, like in a private chat about how you might be making a change to your league for
situations kind of like this.
You want to elaborate on that at all.
I'm curious to hear what our audience thinks about this idea.
Yeah, I've kind of talked with a couple of people in my league personally that I work
with and people I'm friends with in my league that I've kind of chatted with about it.
I'd say it's maybe 5050, which I was kind of shocked because I feel like everyone be
on board.
But basically, I don't know if sleeper has a way to do it, but I would just text every
person individually Monday night after the games are over and say, right, you get to
swap out one one player that you started for someone on your bench.
It's got to be same position or flex whatever it is, but everyone in the league gets to
swap out one player that was on their bench for their starting.
So yeah, just because you might be getting a guy that getting you 20 more points, there
could be someone like Cody that's got someone with 46 on their bench.
So who knows, you could be winning and then you get screwed over Monday night when you
think you've won.
Like it's a lot more math to be added in.
That's why you just have to go in obviously manually and swap them out.
But I think they'd be cool if like sweepers sleeper did have some sort of way to do it.
You know, like not not even a half best ball league, like a one player best ball, like
whatever position scored higher points that someone gets swapped.
That's going to give you the highest points.
So I don't know.
I think it'd be cool.
Say what?
What's your take on that?
I think it's a I think that's a pretty actually neat concept.
It'd be interesting, like obviously you play someone like Cody this week where he has Jennings
on the bench.
You're you're losing.
But you never know.
I mean, and Steve, but but Stephen, what was your start?
Sit accuracy this week?
Oh, dude, it was like 65%.
Jesus.
So get this, you would.
But I was still the third highest scoring team in the league.
You know what I mean?
That's insane.
That's that's insane.
So you would have it like if that was the concept, you're able to swap out Joanne Jennings.
So you'd have got 42 more points.
Stephen could have swapped out Jaden Daniels for CJ shroud and got 17 more points.
The shroud only scored 11 Daniels at 28.
So just be crazy.
Obviously, like if you didn't have the big game from Jenny, so I don't think you would
have won with Goddard or a dunes a swapping them out.
I think he still won.
Yeah, swapping out Jaden Daniels.
I just think it'd be cool even if we did it, like, you know, maybe in like a little six
man league or something like that, just to test it out, see how everyone feels or something
just like, I don't know.
I would have to look.
So it's like kind of the same concept as like the league media and game, right?
Yeah.
So like, obviously, it's not the same, but this kind of eliminates the fuck.
I didn't start the right people.
Yeah, like situation for you, like three guys on your bench like that, I'd say is pretty
rare scoring over 20.
But yeah, I feel like just having that opportunity to swap one person would like, yeah, would
change it.
It's almost like bumping you up to, you know, hopefully higher unless your bench is that
bad.
I don't know.
Just a concept, different idea, something to throw in the mix, maybe sometime next year.
Yeah, I definitely think it's interesting for sure.
I'm open to try it all, man.
Like honestly, I sent, I sent Brandon an Instagram reel earlier today and it was a dude talking
about just how half PPR and PPR was just like total trash.
Like, why not just stick with standard scoring?
It works.
It's a flawless system.
Like quarterbacks don't get a point for throwing the ball.
So why do you get a point for catching it?
And, you know, just like in depth, maybe we'll share that on our socials at some point, but
I don't know.
There's so many different ways you can do it.
And I think that's part of what makes every league setting like super fun.
Yep.
All different.
Kind of however you want to do it and your custom stuff.
And at the end of the day, I still get my ass kicked because I'm terrible at fantasy.
Good win, Stephen.
Yeah, good win, Jordan.
Brandon, I got to step it up, man.
Maybe you and I got to concoct the trade here pretty soon.
Luzio.
Hey, he dumped his entire team onto the trade block today.
I did.
I did do that today.
I've got to do something.
So I'm hoping to trade offers.
Brandon rage quit.
And I like I was about to last year.
Yeah, no, we'll get somebody, man.
It's common.
I can feel it.
This year is fucking weird.
So I don't know if you saw the standings.
There's we have two of us at three, you know, I'm at two and one, the only person two and
one and everyone else is one and two.
Hey, really?
Yeah, like it's seven of us or one and two.
Yeah.
Is that correct me if I'm wrong?
I'm the only person two and one.
Steven is three and oh, Joe was three and oh, and everyone else is one and two.
Pretty crazy.
I thought when I was seven people in the league are one and two, that's insane.
Yeah.
I was like, there's only three of us that are above 500.
Pretty crazy.
I mean, I don't know.
Wow.
I always say, dude, 90% luck, 10% skill.
But the injuries this year, I think these are the most like kind of injuries we've seen
kind of playing in people's teams and stuff like that.
And not as many touch sounds.
So I think it's just a combination of things happening at the beginning of the season here.
Yeah.
Let me ask you, where do you find your luck at?
Is that like an online thing or do you go like thrift shopping for it or?
Some people are just born with it.
I guess you were only born with like 30% luck.
Yeah, apparently.
She's kind of like in a video game when you can put attributes on your character and you
put luck or charm or skill.
Maybe you just, you had a little bit more and hiring the, hiring the charm, charm side
of things than the luck side.
All right, baby.
Yeah.
Next, next go around.
I'm going to couple clicks more on the luck part.
Well guys, I do have a quick question for you this week.
I want to move it along real quick and get into our, our content.
I'm just looking at some of these guys.
I follow a lot of them on social media and I just, it's always been kind of interesting
me on how these guys spend their money.
So I want to ask you if you were a professional athlete, right?
You just got drafted.
You just scored your big check, right?
You got the bag.
What are you guys spending your first million bucks on?
I don't want to hear none of this.
I'm going to pay off my mom's house or I'm going to, you know, something like that.
No, no, no, no, no.
What are you spending your first million bucks on?
Let's hear it.
So like individually, like not, you're treating yourself.
You're giving yourself a million dollar present.
Hmm.
Probably a car.
Probably go Bugatti, get that shit leased.
Go buy a devil 16.
Spent on a car there.
I don't know if true, but I don't know.
Probably buy just like a G wagon, some, some like that.
Yeah, but that's going to, that's a fraction of your million dollars.
Okay, so then Bugatti or a fuckload of shoes.
You just going to spoil yourself in a million dollars with the shoes.
So buy a whole damn shoe store.
So Brandon's buying all these shoes and all these cars and watches.
We're rookies together on the same team.
I will buy a house and I will let him run out my garage in a room in my house to put
all of his cars.
Well, obviously I said how obviously the first choice is house, but Cody said, Cody said
outside of so for yourself.
So I'm thinking I'm sending you giving yourself a million dollar gift.
Yeah.
Didn't say anything about not buying a house.
I'd buy a house first.
That's the first thing I'm buying, but yeah.
So property and I'm letting Jordan spend his million dollar on the house so we can have
a party house, a big scape somewhere in the mountains.
I'll rent out your room.
I'm good with that.
I think my wife would be fine with that.
I'm good with that.
I'm sure it has a pond freezes over in the winter.
Go put some hot hockey and then in the summer have it a little pond.
Everyone can fly fish and wakeboard and do whatever.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
Awesome.
But that's not real.
I don't know about you guys, but it's like fathoming that kind of money is just kind of
weird to me.
Like I honestly like maybe the smart thing to do would be like hiring somebody to tell
me what to do with it.
You know what I mean?
A lot of people.
Basically, I'd probably go through a million bucks so fast.
Yeah.
And that's, yeah, that's why a lot of players end up bankrupt and stuff like that.
And I think that's what I think is the best way to do this because they're spending all
these monies and there's a show on, it might be Netflix.
I'm not sure.
I think it's Netflix.
Anyways, it's basically about that about professional athletes going bankrupt and broke.
And it basically, the main thing they talk about, they buy all these houses and all these
cars.
They stop playing and you still have mortgages on these houses and stuff and ain't no one
paying those anymore.
You know, so I don't know.
It is sad.
I think that's why they're spending money.
You hear about all the one like players getting scammed, their money managers are skipping
money off the top or making them go bankrupt because they're having them sign papers and
stuff over to them and just sad stuff.
So getting taken advantage of.
I imagine that happens more times than any of us are ever going to know about.
Yeah.
Agreed.
100%.
Well, with that being said, I don't know how many of you follow us on social media, but
if you don't, at Get Sunday Covered.
But some massive news boys, we're like on all platforms now.
I mean, we're on Apple podcast, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Amazon Music, podcast index.
And then obviously the video recordings, the video pods are always on YouTube, but we're
out there.
We're out here now.
You know, you know, it's good about all those is that they're, you don't have to see our
faces.
So it's one of those things where you have kind of those.
You got a radio face.
So you don't even have to see us.
You can just listen to us while you're working, you know, driving in your car.
I don't know, just get engaged.
If there's anything you want us to talk about, we can always, we're always looking for stuff
to talk about.
So drop something in the comments.
If, you know, if, you know, talking about your league, a specific question, definitely
stuff that happened in the past.
So we just want more engagement from viewers and more people listening.
And I don't know, we're here for you guys.
I mean, we're just, you know, talking about our league and kind of sports in general.
So more we can branch out and help other people to talk about subjects and have opinions
on and you know, we might probably won't agree on them, but so maybe it won't, won't or will
help your argument with your league or your question.
But yeah, we're just looking for more engagement and some comments, questions.
Did I, I think about like the podcast world now and it makes me like go back in time.
I'm going to say it out of my own call and he would always listen to baseball games on
the radio.
And for the longest time, like that was one of my fondest memories.
Like I loved listening to baseball on the radio and then, you know, CC hockey, like
what's up?
I'm listening to CC hockey on the radio.
Yeah.
Shout out Ken Lando, the go man.
He's the best.
But I, I feel like, you know, I went through that phase of like, I loved, you know, when
Spotify and Apple and all that stuff came out, you had music at your fingertips.
I loved having any music you wanted all the time, but the older I get, man, I've become
such a podcast dude.
Like that's basically all I listened to anymore.
I get in the car to go to work in the morning.
I put on a podcast and then while I'm working straight in my headphones, I'm going podcast
and I like, I don't know.
It's so weird how like it's infatuating to listen to other people talk about shit that
you're interested in.
So yeah, definitely guys.
If you're, if you're enjoying it, you want to hear something different, you want to hear
something new.
Yeah.
Let us know, man.
Because we're doing this for fun and we're enjoying it.
So I don't think we're going to stop anytime soon.
Shout out to our international listeners, boys.
We got listeners in not only the U S, but we got listeners in Canada and, and I checked
today.
Somebody's listening in Germany.
So shout out to our international listeners as well.
Love it.
Awesome.
That's good.
And yeah, the clubs, I think up to like four countries, four or five at this point.
So yeah, clubs just grown extensively.
A couple of guys up here talking about sports, man.
Manly football.
How are you guys?
Yeah.
Well, until hockey comes around, we'll definitely get some hockey.
So hockey starts, but we'll see.
How are you guys for your personal leagues?
Obviously engagement in the podcast and the club and stuff like that is one thing, but
I'm always curious to hear other commissioners like, what are you doing in your leagues
that's like keeping the energy up and keeping the, you know, the trades going and the waiver
wire moves going?
You know what I mean?
How's that working out for you guys?
I mean, the waiver wire in the mountain West is pretty active.
Otherwise, I've kind of just tended to stay back.
So far within, I mean, it's pretty competitive right now.
So it's not, it's not too bad.
So I mean, everyone's in.
People are saying things and, you know, there's definitely responses back and forth, but yeah,
not done crazy much in there.
Probably should, but.
I mean, it's, I'm in seven leagues and I do have a job.
So I'm trying to.
And you're full time.
And I have two kids.
So and one of them's eight months old.
So so I got my hands full.
Just a little bit, I'd say.
Just a smidge.
Not to mention everything that you're doing for Get Sunday Covered.
So we, we appreciate you.
You're good and you are job.
And you're God said, my friend.
I do.
Just so people are aware.
Make sure you tune into next week, because we got, we got some special things coming.
Some special things coming ahead.
So you'll definitely want to make sure you tune into next week episode.
We'll start it off with a banger and just be ready, folks.
Now, what about you, Jordan?
Um, I'd say my league, I don't know.
I'm, I'm the only one, I guess that knows everyone.
Like personally, kind of a combination of friends, coworkers, and family.
Shout out to my brother.
He's been in my league for five years now.
He's like one of the oldest person people that I've played fantasy sports with.
So it's cool to have him back in and he stays somewhat engaged.
Same with you.
He's, you know, full-time job, kid's wife.
Just good to see him in there.
So, um, so the only thing is I see some of these people, obviously my coworkers on a
daily basis.
Um, so we talk about the league pretty frequently.
Um, talking about matchups and guys we have in who, who we started, who we sat.
Um, other than that, like, you know, I text my buddy, um, you know, about some injuries
and stuff like that and people get upset because they're maybe not, you know, fully
engaged or fully looking at fantasy or in a group like we are where people are sharing
news pretty frequently or as it's coming up to date.
But I try to keep people kind of up to date on stuff if they have a player or something
to, to let them know what's going on.
Um, so say there's not much like super engagement.
I'd say, you know, yeah, waivers are pretty good.
It's kind of on top of that, keeping their lineups filled.
Um, but yeah, kind of a normal, just competitive league, nothing too crazy, not too much shit
talking.
I wish there was more.
Um, there's some bad, bad names in my league.
There has been some bad names for two names, but, um, that makes it more fun with people.
So, um, maybe I'll, we'll have some more fun with, uh, with names.
I was already talking with, uh, someone in my league about, you know, if you lose, you
have to change your name, you know, you know, Cody's daddy or something, something, you
know, along those lines for a week or something like that, you know, so maybe to keep it more
fun, you know, if you lose, you just have to have a silly name for a week or something
like that.
I think Cody and I did that one year.
Yeah, we did that like last year, the year before.
Yeah.
We, when you lose the matchup, the next person gets to change the name of your team for a
week or so.
Yeah, I like that.
I'm pretty sure I called you Simp Biscuit for a week.
I don't remember exactly what it was.
It was, yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
I mean, I am in Jordan's league and it is fun.
Um, but I get it.
Like it's hard, you know what I mean?
I mean, people got a lot of stuff going on.
So my biggest thing that I tried, obviously you guys are in GSC.
So you know, but every week, whoever I'm playing, I will publicly just call them out and just
just start talking crap.
You know what I mean?
I'm at the point now where it's like, even if I take the L, it's worth it to talk the
crap in the chat just to get people chatting.
You know what I mean?
I like to rag on the specifically Pacific Northwest.
I, uh, tried to go after the previous champ.
She's went twice in a row.
So I'm like, whatever you guys can do to beat this girl, like let's take her out.
I don't care what it means.
Like trade your whole team away.
Just beat her.
Don't let her win.
Like that, but yeah, it's cool.
I just love the, the group chats in the leagues.
You know what I mean?
People upset because they benched Juan Jennings or people upset because they lost by 0.4.
I love it, man.
And we were talking before we started to record today, like we're, we're about that time in
our, in our year where we're going to get somebody that's going to threaten to rage
quit.
So yeah, let's hear about those rage quit stories.
Uh, it'd be interesting to see how the, how the week progresses.
I know, uh, this week you got seven.
I got white Jordan.
You got Joseph.
Hmm.
So Joe drama 3.0.
Hey man, he's been jumping on, he's been jumping on all of our watch parties.
He has.
Hey, I know I'm happy.
Glad we actually have to see this very sometimes.
And if you're in the fantasy club, uh, you know, you're more than welcome to jump on
these watch parties.
We typically post, uh, Thursday and just all you got to do is comment in GSC and we'll
send you the link and you know, we want to meet some of you guys.
So definitely, you know, be sure to pay attention, stay engaged within the chat, the group and,
you know, come, come, come sit with us, come watch a game with us.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm gone over to so far trying to do that.
So I'm feeling a little neglected and disliked.
I don't like that guys.
My, my ego is pretty sensitive.
So I'm going to need somebody all to jump in.
All right.
Well, uh, what's going on with CMC?
Is he done for the year?
Shifter reported that he was, he's needing surgery.
Yeah, it's still everything I still see.
I mean, it was a day ago, him getting a Germany, seeing a specialist, but that was a day ago.
And so I think, I mean, I don't know, latest was that he was going to have to have surgery.
The Achilles was worse than they thought.
Um, I don't know.
I hope it's not good.
No, it's either way.
If you have them on your team, uh, yeah, if you got room on your IR maybe stash them
there for another week for sure till some more news comes out, maybe officially from
the 49ers that are declaring him out for the season.
Um, I don't know.
Yeah.
Either way is don't be looking at starting him maybe at all this season.
You might not have metal is what it's looking like.
Especially Achilles.
That sucks.
And I was, I was telling, I don't know if we were talking about this before the, we
helped on the podcast about last time that CMC was like the number one overall.
I think it was the first year in your league.
I had the first overall pick.
I'm excited to get CMC.
Here we go.
I think he played maybe two or three games that year before he was pretty much done for
the year.
Um, I didn't want to jinx it for Hans this year, but I told him when I was like the last
time that CMC was like the consensus number one, he, uh, didn't complete the season.
I'm not saying that's why, um, because he's going number one overall and fantasy these
guys would care less about their fantasy points, what they're doing for us.
But yeah, you just hate to see it for a player of his talent for that team.
So hope he gets healthy and we don't see him this year.
I'm sure he'll be a back to a hundred percent next year.
Man, I hope so, dude.
It's, you know, it sucks for everybody that drafted him in the first couple of picks,
but it sucks even worse for him.
Dude coming off of MVP caliber season and now like you don't even get to play it down
this year.
Like I hope that's not the case, but man, man, it's rough.
And it is rough.
How did, how much longer does CMC have left?
Honestly, three years max.
You think three, I think less honestly.
We'll see, maybe he's got a lot of mileage on his body and some injuries now.
So let's see, especially Achilles injury is never good.
And he's 28, same age as me.
So yeah, I mean, hit 30 and keep playing good.
Yeah.
Not, not too many running backs, especially.
I know that because I play hockey with you, Jordan.
You haven't been good for seven years.
So walk around you any Friday night.
Yeah, you do not.
Absolutely.
You guys come out and watch.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Watch party for some Friday night hockey.
All right.
Get that going.
We'll find it.
We'll put you on videography.
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll put that video.
I don't know, dude, I would, I don't have any shares of CMC this year.
I honestly don't know if I ever have, which kind of sucks honestly, but I wouldn't count
on him playing.
And if he does, it's going to be not much.
When you really need them or the last couple of games.
Maybe if you're in playoff contention.
I mean, otherwise I wouldn't even risk it.
Yeah.
I shot my shot at the beginning of the use.
I was knocked in the wild card this year anyway.
So I don't know.
Sucks, but I was, I was really hoping he would get a ring last year.
I'm not even a Niners fan, but I'm definitely not a chief's fan.
So I was a little heartbroken that the Niners and CMC didn't get one.
It's kind of like that.
Oh, nine season with Randy Moss, the Patriots.
Oh, seven.
Yeah.
Oh, seven.
I wanted Moss to get it.
It was Oh, nine.
Wasn't it?
Seven.
18 and 0.
All right.
Well, yeah, I was, I just wanted Moss to get a ring so bad that year.
Like, I don't care for the Patriots.
Like, I don't care for Tom Brady.
You got to respect them, but I really wanted Moss to win one.
So yeah, I could feel that like same way for McAfrey.
Like a great player.
I just wanted to get one.
Yeah, for sure.
What about what's your guys' thoughts on Miami?
There you are.
Skyler Thompson's got chest injury now.
Tyler Huntley up next or what?
I mean, that you got to go pick up someone.
Tim Boyle came in on that, like two drives and he had more yards than Skyler
Thompson did like the entire game.
So maybe that was the best thing is Skyler Thompson getting injured.
Um, they, the dolphins used to have Mike White.
They cut him.
I know when they did the 53 man cuts, which I was surprised.
So Skyler Thompson beat him out.
Um, I think we joked about this last time I was talking about Joe Flacco.
I'm like, get that dude to come in and tell him to throw the ball as far as you
can to tie a rekill.
And you have Jaylin Waddle underneath, you know, like, I mean, I feel like just
look what he did with Cleveland, I'm not saying Joe Flacco is the savior, but
I don't know.
You'd still ball the way that proved the way that Skyler Thompson looked.
I don't believe that Tyler Huntley.
I think if anything, he's going to hurt that throwing game, the passing game
more than anything, um, cause he's going to run more.
Um, I don't know.
There's other options.
I feel like they could trade for, but are they going to do they want to bring
in someone new?
I don't, I don't know.
So we also got, I don't know, Russell Wilson with the Steelers.
I mean, the way fields is playing out, even if Russ comes back healthy at this
point, why do you replace fields?
He's only getting better.
He's only getting better week to week.
Um, maybe they could trade for Russ.
Broncos also have Zach Wilson, Jared Sitem as backups, make a trade, you know,
third, fourth round picked for one of these guys, like bring someone in that's
played some games and as a veteran and gives your team a chance to win.
And you, I mean, they still have playmakers all over that team.
Like they could still win games.
Like I feel like that's why, like you look at Cleveland, they lost their
quarterback, they put in a veteran, they had a bunch of playmakers around them.
He got the ball to those guys and they just made plays like same thing in Miami.
Like just get someone that's going to get the ball out quick to these guys.
100%.
Yeah.
I mean, someone has to come in and sling, sling it for him.
I mean, I wouldn't have been surprised if Miami was a team that reached out to
Carolina for Bryce Young, but who knows exactly who, who exactly was there.
So be interesting to one of the things that stood out.
Sorry, Brandon.
No, you're good.
So one of the things that stood out to me for Miami is it seemed like, you know,
maybe, you know, Tua really was the leader that we all thought he was because with
him gone, the team just like literally didn't look the same.
Like they didn't have the same click.
They didn't have the same pace.
They didn't have the same energy.
So I honestly, I like, I don't know how much of a difference any of these guys
they bring in is really going to make, especially if you bring in Russ Wilson,
who is notorious for being a locker room poison.
Like they just, they've looked like they lost their leader.
They looked like they lost their cornerstone of their offense.
And to be honest with you, I'm a little afraid that they're not going to get it back.
Yeah, it'll be, it'll be rough to see what goes on with Miami for sure.
Proceeding forward.
Yeah.
All right.
So what are they?
They're one and two.
Yes.
How many games do you think they win this year?
Seven.
I was going to say six or seven.
Yeah.
That's not going to be a stretch.
They'll get two against New England.
That's I don't think New England will be Miami.
I don't know.
Those might be some low scoring games.
Yeah.
Those will be rough.
That's not going to be another repeat of no punts, no turnovers.
No, I don't think so.
I do not think so.
Interesting.
Yeah.
What's your guys biggest takeaway from the season so far?
Oh man.
I think the Saints are real, even though they lost this weekend.
They're real.
I disagree.
I think Minnesota, dude.
I think Minnesota is better than New Orleans.
I think Minnesota is better than a lot of teams.
My foreman at work is a big Minnesota Vikings fan.
He's got a tattoo of the Viking logo right on his bicep.
Loves the Vikings, always has.
He told me before the season, he's like, look out for the defense this year.
Second year under, what do they call him?
Beeflo, Brian Flores.
Brian Flores, yeah.
Yeah.
Second year under him.
That defense is falling out, man.
And San Darnold's doing good, getting the ball to Jefferson like he needs to.
Aaron Jones is running all over.
Look for Aaron Jones.
They come out with like a 200 yard game this week against Green Bay.
So I think Minnesota is the team that might surprise some people in the NFC this year.
I agree, man.
Minnesota's looked good.
Little resurrection tour for San Darnold.
He ain't seeing ghosts anymore up there.
I don't know.
They're scary, man.
Like I said, that offense is good too.
There's a lot of weapons on that offense.
As long as Darnold, which he's been playing great, not turning the ball over.
So, I don't know.
We'll see.
Yeah.
Everybody that was panicked about Justin Jefferson.
I think you can relax for a little bit.
Yeah.
Something is, is like putting up 20 points in the first half and that's about it.
Like, which I'll take that every game, obviously, but put up like 30.
Like, but I'll take it.
I saw a post earlier.
I'm pretty sure Darnold is leading in touchdown passes.
Is that right?
Yeah.
That's who to thought.
Yeah.
Him, like even after last week, it was like him and Baker.
All these guys doing crazy things.
I don't know.
Andy Dalton.
Yeah.
And the red rockin coming out.
Red, red, right.
I don't know.
Good for these guys that are getting second chances and coming out and ballin, man.
I'm surprised in some people losing people a lot of money, probably in some of these
games.
Thanks.
So.
So man, man, uh, Brandon, we're kind of talking about this about the touchdown
thing.
So like quick question, Cody, would you rather have someone like Cooper cup who
gets 10 targets a game, you know, might catch nine of them for 80 yards or someone
like Jameson Williams, who might only get targeted four times, gets three catches
for 150 yards and a 2D.
Which one of those would I rather have?
Yeah.
I mean, I'll take, I'll take the, the Jameson Williams stat line for sure.
But if we're talking season long, man, let me get that volume, you know, like, I
think, I feel like touchdowns are unpredictable.
You know, you got to figure in like what kind of defense you're facing in the red
zone or the green zone or whatever.
But if you're somebody that's dependable and you're getting the ball 10 times
versus three.
Yeah, I think I would, I think I would take that because eventually they're going
to catch a touchdown, but.
That's a good question actually like, but that's when it comes down to the situation
that I was in this week of like, Roman Dunes going off like, Dallas Scott are going
off like, how am I supposed to predict that?
You know, you know, consistency is, is nice, but I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, I'll do the stardom, sit him question wasn't in there.
Like, like if it's in a best ball league shit, give me the three for 150 and one.
Right.
Every time.
Plus, I think you get a little bit of like trade capital out of a performance like that.
You know what I mean?
Like you get a player that goes off and they look good.
Somebody's not, you know, super educated about the stats.
You should just be like, Hey, you know, this guy smashed it last week.
This is going to help your team a lot.
Let me get that guy that gets 10 catches a game.
I don't know.
That's kind of that's interesting.
What about you guys? What would you rather have?
I think I'm, I'm probably like same boat as you.
I think someone, someone who gets more targets is always going to be more valuable than
someone who's a big play.
I feel like maybe that's what Xavier worthy is this year for Kansas City.
Like you might only get the ball four times a game, but at any time he could break two
of those for 70 yards in a touchdown and that's a great you're getting 25 points
with, you know, this dude getting the ball handed off once to him and catching the ball
twice.
So I think it kind of depends who it is.
But I think for me, like I'm always going volume over the big play scenario and getting
a touchdown because I think at least with that, like, you know, you know, Cooper cups
going to get the ball thrown to him at least 10 times a game, you know, Matthew Stafford
is always going to look for him.
So you get someone who's volume and boom, they do get that chance to score touchdown.
That just adds on top to it.
But at least someone like Cooper cup, like you can almost put it down every week.
He's going to get you between 15 and 20 points when healthy.
It's a consistency.
I think for me, it's the consistency.
I would rather have someone that's at least getting me consistently, you know, 15 to
20 points a week.
Then 33 times a year or so.
Yeah.
I mean, it could make a difference those three times, but I feel volumized throughout
the season, the consistency is is the key there.
Yeah.
With maybe one or two outbreak games where they're getting, you know, 25 or somewhere
around there.
Yeah, I agree.
That's fine.
All right.
Moving on.
Jordan, what's your game of the week?
This week I'm going to do, I think there's a big one.
I think it's the bills at Ravens.
I think the bills go in there and put it to the Ravens.
Sunday night.
Yeah, I think that's what's going to happen.
But fantasy wise, I hope this game is like 55 to 54.
I don't care who wins and just 45 points.
But yeah, I don't expect it to be that crazy.
I'm expecting maybe, you know, 35 to 30, something like that.
So I'm pretty good game.
Mm hmm.
Dude, I, you don't, you don't take.
You don't feel like after they're winning Dallas, the Ravens are going to be, you
know, pick it up steam.
You're just all on Buffalo right now.
It's like I told Brandon, cause they were up big at Dallas and they almost lost
to Dallas.
Yeah.
Same thing happened last week.
They're up big at halftime.
Let the Raiders come back and beat them at half.
So I don't know what they're doing at halftime, you know, having some sort of party in the
locker room.
I don't know, but they come out the second half and it's just like, uh, we already got
the game one, we don't need to do anything.
And they almost let Dallas come back and beat them.
So, and shout out to Dallas.
They've just recovered an outside kick in that game.
I know that was one of the few that we've seen over the last few years.
I mean, the first one for the new rules.
Yeah, it was.
Who would have thought it would be three and oh right now.
They look good, man.
And like they, because Josh Allen doesn't have to force the ball to stuff on digs.
He's got so many guys that whoever's opens getting the ball.
Yeah.
James Cook's coming out, you know, so.
Did you see his quote?
And he was like, yeah, it's nice to have a locker room full of guys that don't
care about the stats and they don't care about the touchdowns.
They just want to move the ball.
Little sudden digs.
Yeah.
I think Josh Allen's playing better without him honestly.
I think so too.
Yeah.
He seems to be.
Yeah, he doesn't seem so focused on like trying to force the ball into places that
he shouldn't.
Yeah.
Cody, what's your game of the week?
I agree.
Man, I'm liking Minnesota versus Green Bay this week.
I'm really, I picked this one because I'm really hanging on the fact that I think
that Jordan Love might come back.
I think that Green Bay offense with Jordan Love is going to be something scary.
I don't know for sure that that's going to be this week, but I'm on the Minnesota
train right now, man.
They look good.
That was one of our game in the weeks last week.
We just talked about it.
Their defense is, you know, one of the best in the league right now for sure.
And I think they're on a roll.
So I'm really looking forward to looking in this divisional matchup.
And I think I've got, I think I've got Minnesota in this one, man.
I think they're going to keep it going.
And I think people are really going to start turning their heads at Minnesota and
figuring out how to beat them moving forward, but I think they take it to Green Bay.
Nice.
I'm going with the Saints at the Falcons division rivalry, just like Minnesota Green Bay.
I think it'll be, you know, a nice little slugfest between Kirk and Derek Carr.
So it'll be interesting to see.
I think Atlanta comes out on fire to be honest with you.
Like I, I feel like same way everybody else feels like against that game against
the Chiefs.
I think Atlanta's probably got something to prove after taking that L and
I think it's going to be a good thing to do.
I think Atlanta's probably got something to prove after taking that L and I look for them to,
I think they pull it up.
I'll take, I'll take the Falcons in this one.
Yeah.
So that's kind of a flowing flip.
I think the Saints will win that.
I think I'm going with the Saints.
I think Camara has a good bounce back week here.
He's going to run the ball pretty heavy against the Falcons, but I do want to give an honorable mention
about this.
Yeah.
Please, Camara, maybe you'll save my fantasy season.
You back to 500.
I do want to throw out an honorable mention this week.
Bengals and Panthers, Andy Dalton, Red Rifle, playing his old team.
Put the Bengals down 0-1-4.
Dude.
I don't know if I can imagine what that will be like for that team if they go down 0-1-4.
Like they're basically already out as it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's going to be Steelers and Ravens in that division, I feel.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I like this take, Brandon.
It's like, you know.
It is in Carolina.
It would be much more interesting if it was in Cincinnati.
Yeah.
I still want to throw it out there as, you know, an honorable mention on my radar this week.
I don't know if you guys have been paying attention, but this may be a weather game, depending on how fast this storm is.
Yeah, that hurricane, tropical storm.
Yeah.
Let's hold up.
Yeah.
So, I don't know, man.
Like this is like waiting until the bleachers clear out and the concession stands closed so you can watch the JV team play.
My opinion, like this is for me, I think Ice Cold Joe Burrow finally gets one done here.
He's got to you, right?
Like there's no way they're going 0-1-4.
Yeah, I think I'm with you there.
I'm going Carolina.
Yeah?
You're riding it?
The way Carolina looked last week with, I mean, there's some, I don't want to say talented players on Carolina, but they got some good decent receivers to go to.
Well, what happened is, feeling got hurt, didn't he?
He did, and they have that Xavier Lake.
He's a buyer.
He's a rookie, so hopefully you guys don't steal him, but I'm putting in a waiver claim for him this week.
I doubt any of you were going after him because he's on Carolina and no one's going after anyone from Carolina.
Unless you had Deontay Johnson, which I had him in my other week and I told myself, I'm going to give it one more week with Red Rifle here.
See how he does.
He sat on my bench with 27 points.
There's no way I'm starting him.
Like with the start he's had this year, I'm not putting him into my lineup.
So maybe this week, I think I'm going to throw him in there because why not, man?
Let's see what happens.
So Carolina.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Things I've never said for $600.
Well, with that being said, I think that's another wrap up on another episode of the Get Sunday Covered podcast.
