Let's get it on. Welcome back to the Get Sunday Covered podcast. It's Brennan, Jordan and Cody back to kickoff the best month in all of sports. Let's go boys. That's right. It's Wednesday, October 2nd. We've got Halloween coming. We've got hoodies to wear and we've got hockey, baseball, all the major sports guys. Gentlemen, how we doing?
I'm great. Dubs, baby. Dubs. Oh, good for you. Sucks to suck.
I noticed a trend I won last week. You both lost. Brennan won this week. Me and Cody lost, so that means Cody's going to win this week and me and you are going to lose, Brennan.
Oh, God, I hope not. Jordan, please tell me that that's how it works because I need to win so bad right now.
I hope that's not the trend. I hope we all three win next week, but now let's take a win anyway, shape or form. I'm excited for October. Hockey starting up.
We've got college football, football, every sport, every sports going on October. If there's anyone out there that still likes baseball and watches that, postseason start today for that.
I don't know. Shout out Joey, big Mets fan. Mets are going crazy right now.
Mets ain't doing anything. They just made it yesterday just like the Braves did.
I don't know. I'm picking the Detroit Tigers. They're rolling. It's like that one year with the Rockies when they just rolled through to the World Series and they got stopped by Boston.
They might roll to the World Series and roll through and win it. So a little bit of an underdog, but we'll see. I don't really follow much baseball anymore.
Anyways, say I'll be real honest, man. Shout out to all our baseball fans, man, but I don't even know who's in it, man. Go Dodgers, I guess, Shohei. Let's go.
But you guys had a good weekend though. Fantasy was fucking crazy.
Wild weekend for sure. But yeah, I mean, all in all, I can't be disappointed that this week got a couple close dubs, but wins win hits the record.
I was listening. I was listening to a bunch of the other podcasts and they're like, yeah, a lot of scoring this weekend, a lot of touchdowns, a lot of, you know, and I'm like, are you serious? Because I think one of my teams put up over 100 points this week.
And that's not an exaggeration, guys. Seriously. I mean, you saw GSC main. I didn't even break 80 in our league. That's a full PPR three wide receiver league. I didn't break 80 points. That's the dead ass dude.
That's how my week went.
Little rough. Yeah, that's rough.
Little rough, dude.
A lot of rough.
A little rough.
Buddy, you're you're lucky I'm here today. I almost quit fantasy football entirely. Seriously, I hate this game. It is not fun.
When you're on this side of the court.
You know, if you do like 10 more mock drafts in the off season, it'll actually help you.
Thanks. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's that's great.
Cody is feeling one word to describe his fantasy season right now and it is pain, utter pain just week after week.
It really is, dude. It really is. And it feels like.
I don't know. I feel like I'm still so confident in all of the people that I drafted, you know, because I spent so much time like researching these players.
I'm like, yep, they're going to be awesome. Like I'm crushing it this year. Like this is it. And it's so hard for me.
Like, no, you got to let him go, man. I can't. I can't.
So I'm just going to I'm just going to die with my teams, man.
But you guys did all right. I don't know. We'll see. Thankfully, the last place punishment hasn't been really come to fruition for our league for years past.
So hopefully when I have it this year, I can just be like, hey, I'll do it when when Whitney does it or when Seamus does it.
Maybe something will happen.
We'll just get everyone that's lost to just compile together into a massive punishment.
One giant. Yeah.
Let's make you all get to go just.
We'll go get paintball guns.
Y'all go streaking and we'll just shoot at you.
Yeah.
I don't know about that.
Dear and headlight is pretty good.
All right, boys, let's jump into it, guys. What do you say anything else you want to talk about before we jump into it?
I do have a quick question.
All right.
Brandon, you and me, native Coloradans, Jordan, you're basically a native Coloradans, but you are from Pittsburgh.
Shout out Penguin. Shout out Steelers.
Pretty passionate fan bases in these cities, I think, but I wanted to see if you guys could choose another sports city.
To be born into passionate fandom.
Where are you going to go?
Are we choosing outside of teams that we like?
No, just outside of wherever you're from.
Well, I'll choose separately. I would probably say like something like.
On Steel Mine.
Detroit.
Like really both fans are fucking passionate, bro.
I was saying about Detroit, too.
That's what I was thinking first, and I was like, I'm gonna be more hockey.
So I would think like Detroit because it's close to Canada.
Obviously hockey is big there. I mean, all the sports are big there.
I just heard it's not a very nice city. I've never been.
So I can't speak personally about it, but I think maybe.
You read that on the internet.
Yeah, and I've seen pictures.
I think Minnesota, Minneapolis, St. Paul.
I think it would be super cool.
Just because of hockey up there, man, like even like high school hockey is like super big like the state tournament up there.
Like, I don't know stuff would be cool.
Like just to see hockey, you know, for anyone that's back East, you know, I know it's the same thing in the Northeast with high school hockey and stuff like that.
So it's just not as.
Relevant out here in Colorado. I mean, there is teams, but I think to see it on a larger scale like that, I think.
Northmore hockey, I think for me. So yeah, Minnesota.
What about for you?
I love both of those answers.
Honestly, dude, I didn't even think about that like like the northern part with the hockey aspect, especially like you said the high school.
Getting in like that's that's such a good point. I didn't think about that at all, but I'm going to go a similar direction.
I'm going East Coast like Boston, New York, man, either of those like just to be in grain in that for your entire life.
Like the amount of if you've ever been to either of those cities, Brandon, I know that you have, but like the amount of history that's in those cities anyway is just incredible.
Such cool places to be and their fans are off the chain, man. So just being passionate. I mean, shout out Boston College, right? Let's go.
Hockey's back.
I think it'd be great, man.
Shout out.
I mean, this took me to a BC game and it was one of the coolest experiences in my life. So yeah, somewhere East Coast, man.
Yeah, I mean, I would have fed Boston, but I'm a Boston fan, so I kind of wanted to go elsewhere.
Yeah.
I mean, what about like something like Miami, though, you can, you know, your team wins, you get to party on the beach.
Or get hit with a hurricane.
Yeah. Hey, honestly, shout out to everybody that's going through a hurricane.
Helene right now. Yeah, that's some nasty stuff that's going on. That's some serious business.
So you guys aren't aware about what's going on. Look it up. Help out how you can. It's a real, real bad situation.
So you're right, Jordan. That's that's a really good point.
Yeah. Yeah. The, the, yeah, all jokes aside, you have the flooding that's going on with all that stuff.
Like hope everyone's safe and well with that. If we have any listeners in that area, hope everything's good with you guys.
Yeah. Some of the videos I've seen isn't good, but yeah, I've, I've never been a fan of Florida or the South really in general,
because I'm not a big fan of humidity. So.
Is it over your hair?
Yeah, it makes it curly again, natural. No, it makes me sweat a lot and I don't like that.
So, um, but yeah, Minnesota's not much better, but I don't know Miami would be cool for the weather.
I think that's what helps with maybe getting some players there being able to go to the beach and stuff instead of when it's up north
and it's snowing outside and cold. So.
Oh yeah. You ever watch the show ballers based out of Miami when it starts with the rock rock. Yeah.
Yeah. I could, I could, I'd be down with that.
Be a pro athlete in Miami. Sure. All right.
So I have to. Yeah.
All right. Good enough. All right, guys.
Next up, broken people, broken dreams. Brandon, what do we got?
We'll start. Taysum Hill.
Anthony Richardson. Jonathan Taylor.
Christian Watson.
Last but not least, Cody Rishi Rice.
How you feeling, brother? Just lost him probably for the year. Yeah.
Yeah, I imagine so, dude. And it sucks.
Like, you know, about a month before our draft, it was 50-50 because I wasn't sure if he was going to play this year already.
And, you know, once that got dragged on the way that it did, I was pretty stoked.
And he was like, wide receiver five coming in at the weekend.
So just, just an unfortunate situation on so many different levels.
Like obviously for the person that sucks getting her, but put up a giant goose egg for my fantasy team.
That sucks as well. But if he truly is out for the year, people got to remember like, he's going to miss this year and probably face the suspension next year.
So we're probably not going to see him until week six or seven of next season if he's healthy.
So Dynasty managers, maybe something to consider.
But you know what sucks the most about this whole situation?
And this is purely fantasy. Obviously the injury to Rishi Rice is trash.
But I want to tell you guys a little story.
I was offered a trade last week from my arch nemesis.
You guys know who that is, right?
Joe.
Friggin Joe wanted my Patrick Mahomes and Rishi Rice combo real bad.
And I'm not saying that he was coming off as desperate, but he gave me a couple of pretty handsome offers.
Jordan, I sent you a couple of them and you said, yeah, man, I don't know. I might do that.
And I'm like, dude, I'm one and two right now. I need a win.
I can't give up Rishi Rice. There's no way.
He offered me Jordan Love, Jaden Reed.
And I think Tyreek Hill for Patrick Mahomes, Rishi Rice and Roma Dunes.
I said, I don't think so, man. I can't give up. I can't give up Rishi Rice.
It's going off right now. I need to put together some wins.
Okay. So, and this is going to, this is the second part that's cherry on friggin top.
He said, all right.
Well, who would you rather have then Tyreek Hill or Devonte Adams?
Well, I don't know if you guys heard, but Devonte Adams might be on the friggin move too.
You know what I did? I said, no, Joe, I don't want him.
I'm going to hang on to Rishi Rice.
So not only did I not get Tyreek Hill or Devonte Adams or John Love or Jaden Reed, which by the way,
if you had Jordan Love and Jaden Reed, you would have won this week.
Thank you, Brandon. Yeah. No, I appreciate that.
I'm really glad you added that into this story.
Great, great observation, sir.
You guys tell how I'm feeling right now. Not friggin great.
Well, come full circle that Brandon, I'm going to pile on top of that.
If you would have made that trade, I wouldn't have had to play Joe with Jordan Love and Jaden Reed this week.
We put up like 58 points combined between the two.
And I, I would have won. How to beat Joe.
So yeah, you should have taken that trade.
This is the type of shit that makes people quit fantasy.
This is why people quit playing fantasy football right here.
This exact type of scenario.
And you know what, you guys ready for one more?
It's like, this is like seven layer dip. You ready for one more?
Guess who I play? There is quarter life crisis.
Just so everyone's away. I played Joe this week.
I was going to smash you. You're done. Yeah.
Yeah, that's great.
Love that. Realistically on that list on the injury, I think the two biggest are Rishi Rice and Jonathan Taylor.
Jonathan Taylor has been having a good season.
Two guys from the Colts on the list. I was watching that game being a Steelers fan.
Richardson got hurt.
Look like a hip injury right off to the sideline.
Sat out one play. Mr. I should be in Miami. Joe Flacco throw on the ball to Tyreek came in. Look good.
Played for one play came out. Richardson came back in.
Did like some sort of slide thing like right at the end and I don't know if it was a concussion.
Mika Fitzpatrick hit him. Wasn't a flag on the play. He shouldn't have been and he left the game and Flacco came in and Colts beat the Steelers.
So Flacco looks, I don't know, he looks good, but I don't know. We'll see for Jonathan Taylor.
They're not talking about I or anything, but I imagine he's going to miss this week for sure.
Christian Watson. I think it's a trend for.
Yeah, for Jonathan Taylor. Kind of when Saquon was.
Anthony Richardson.
Anthony Richardson. He's been in the league two years and he's missed more game, more time than he's played.
So.
Made a glass.
Yeah, I think he just needs to. He's a big guy, but people are going to take headshots at you when you're running like that.
So I don't know. Hopefully he, you know, and say in the pocket a little bit more and run when he needs to and not take so many hits.
We'll see.
A little bit more per cautious, but you know, we hope everyone gets well and we'll see him back in in the league and you know, playing with that being said, let's jump up into club and league updates.
Champions League. Don't forget, guys, if you're part of a GSC league right now, you are eligible for the Champions League.
We will be posting kind of weekly updates throughout the remainder of the season, recapping kind of where everyone's at overall between the 10 divisions that I know of at least right now, which are the Pacific Northwest, Colorado Midwest,
northeast northeaster East Main Dynasty Midwest, and the Reaper to make sure you guys keep your eyes on our socials gonna be doing some cool stuff with our socials Here.
Moving forward.
So, yeah, yeah, if you don't like our page gets Sunday covered, they'll give that thing a follow.
Moving forward into do we want to do any NHL or NBA leagues?
I know for a fact, Jordan, you and I, we just started a fantasy hockey league over the weekend.
They actually had our draft on Sunday.
So we have.
Uh, actually, NHL technically starts this this Friday, 11 AM over in Chattanooga, Friday,
Saturday, and then the regular season or the wrestling gets underway.
October 8th next week.
So yeah, maybe if you're looking for an NHL league, I wouldn't look, uh, you know, I'm
sure it's a good draft draft or, you know, yeah, draft them this weekend.
So put up something, uh, post and I'm sure you can get, you know, eight to 10 people to
fill up a league and draft this weekend and get a league started.
Even if it's for free, just, just give it a try.
It's a little, a little bit more, uh, in depth than, uh, fantasy football.
Um, gotta pay a little bit more attention, picking up guys, dropping guys, putting guys
in your lineup every day.
So same with NBA, it's kind of like NHL, both have 82 games.
So a lot of picking up, dropping and, uh, putting guys in your lineup every day.
So, but they're fun.
I like, uh, I like fantasy hockey mixes up a little bit different and, um, keeps you
a little bit more engaged, kind of like it does for fantasy football.
Yeah.
I'm going to take this moment real quick, a short one.
I want to do a quick anonymous call out for Captain Nick, buddy.
I know that you're listening.
Hey, I'm ready to take this, uh, this NBA fantasy league again this year.
Let's get that stuff going.
Get it in the GSC league.
Bring it on.
Is that a money league?
Um, I can't play for money last year or not.
I don't think so.
It should be, but I don't think so.
Fantasy basketball is pretty fun.
A lot of games, a lot of, you get to see points put up on the board more often,
you know what I mean?
So it's kind of, I don't know, we're all on our phones all the time anyway.
So instead of just sticking to your phone three days a week, you can be on it all the
time and be like, ah, yeah, that got hit, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah, hashtag sports betting.
Essentially what it is.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thank you.
Uh, yeah.
We talked to.
Good.
Yeah, we talked about it at the top guys.
Uh, Devonte Adams, we're going to move right into it.
This actually just dropped today.
Here's our hot topic at the week.
He has officially requested a trade from the Raiders.
He wants out.
I think the only reason he wanted to be there in the first place was for Derek
Carr and he said Vegas is not for me.
What are you guys thinking about this?
Um, I didn't, I didn't see that he officially requested a trade.
I didn't see that.
I saw that the Raiders are open to trading him after Antonio Pierce, like,
like the post that he was out something.
So just drama.
Um, I think for fantasy owners and for, uh, you know, him in general, it's
probably best case to get off the Raiders.
Um, they're winning games, so you can't hate on them for that, but, um, not
much quarterback play, not much, uh, targets going to him.
So, um, as you talked about earlier, she rice going down.
I don't know if there's any chance the chiefs go after him in the division.
Um, but I think that would be huge for Kansas city.
If they got Devonte Adams, I think his upside could be huge with, uh, my
homes, um, talk about the jets, of course, which I feel like they already
have a good, uh, core wide receivers.
But when you put up nine points and lose the Broncos at home, I don't
obviously something's not working.
So, um, go Broncos.
So, um, I don't know.
I could see him getting traded.
Um, I don't know.
I guess we'll see.
Feel like if it doesn't happen within the next, uh, week, week and a half,
it's probably not happening.
I think, um, I could see the jets.
I could even see New England possibly with, uh, or even possibly even Pittsburgh.
Um, just kind of basing off who tried to target IUK.
Um, maybe even Cleveland and just doing a straight up trade with Amari Cooper.
Possibility.
Um, but in terms of the chiefs, I really don't think that Devonte is going to the
chiefs.
I, I could see someone like D hop or Amari Cooper or depending upon how Carolina
season continues to progress, Adam Thielen, maybe even Deontay Johnson.
I just don't think from the situation that he's in, I don't think Devonte
Adams wants to go to another shitty team.
And that's, you know, call it what you will, but like, not shitty teams are kind
of hard to come by right now.
You know what I mean?
It's like, like, realistically, how long is Devonte Adams have left?
Maybe two years, three years.
And odds are if he's going to land on a contender, he'll slot in as the number
two.
That's a interesting formula to try to make work for a player like him.
So I don't know.
I don't see New England for it.
We'll see it unless they offer him the bag, which it's not going to be that much,
but.
Yeah, it should be interesting to see if he does get moved and where he does go.
He's going to go somewhere crazy and he's going to put up massive fantasy points,
and I'm going to have to regret not taking that trade.
Twice.
It's hoping out for your sake.
I mean, like, bro, the way it's gone so far, that's exactly what's going to happen.
I can see you're going to be in the same position as Devonte Adams.
That's exactly what's going to happen. I can see the future, Jordan.
I can see the future.
All right.
Cody's just getting tortured this season.
That's what that's what fantasy is doing to him.
I'm going to quit, you guys.
I might be the person that rage quits this year.
What are you guys going to do then?
Figure it out.
Your trustee commissioner.
I'm a co-commissioner, so we'll be all right.
We'll just drop your whole team to the waiver wire.
Let everyone free for all.
Walk around and find out.
I might do it.
There's not much to pick.
It's going right.
Well, there might be some people getting some relief this week with some bi-weeks.
Yes.
Bi-weeks are this week, guys.
Bi-week start.
Detroit, Tennessee, Philadelphia, and the Chargers are all on by.
So make sure you pay attention to your lineups.
Don't be that person that doesn't set a lineup and keeps a bi-player in your roster.
A lot of big names in that list right there.
Yeah.
A lot of big names.
A lot of Detroit players, maybe not so much Tennessee,
Philadelphia,
I know that personally because I play Steven this weekend.
I don't have to play Saquon.
Thank goodness.
Oh, good for you.
Yeah, he's not going to put up 38 points on you.
That's good.
Yeah, congratulations.
Oh, because he had a down week last week, so that means his next game should be a big game.
Oh, yeah.
He had a down week last week after he, no, you're right.
That's good.
After he almost, he dropped 30 on both me and Cody.
Yeah, thanks.
Yeah, no, that's great.
I don't know, but yeah, I'd say Philadelphia and Detroit are the two biggest.
I think it's going to be good for Philly.
They need some time to get up, man.
I need a reset, man.
This is so early, bro.
My week's this early.
It's so weird.
Well, I mean, if you're beat up the way that they are, it may be a blessing in disguise, honestly.
You're a very good player.
Get it together, let your guys heal up, and if you're killing more, get in there and literally have a slumber party with your players and be like, all right, guys, we're watching game filled tonight.
Yeah, I mean, I know for me, I have a couple players out this week because I have Hertz, I have Jake Adolpens.
So I know I'm filling a couple.
I know I'm filling a couple.
I know I'm filling a couple spots this week and trying to see what I can do to make something competitive at least out of my team with those two being out.
Are you guys, uh, are either of you going to have to drop anybody from any of your teams?
Because I know there's, I have a couple of leagues where I'm getting hit with buys and I don't want to.
But there's a couple of scenarios where I might have to.
I know week 12 in a league, I am like, screwed.
Oh yeah, later in the season, there's a lot of people that are going to be screwed.
Yeah, I think that by week of the Ravens, it's a Ravens and someone else, someone will be a week 14.
That's the last week of the regular season for fantasy.
So hopefully I'm already locked up on playoffs at that point.
I don't have to see.
So yeah, I know week 12 for me is is a rough one for sure.
And that, um, because that week, let's see week 12 teams on by that week.
Of course.
Um,
it's a lot for those of you that are wondering Buffalo, Saints, Cincinnati.
Yeah, it's going to be in one of my leagues.
I have quite a bit of players on those teams.
So it's going to be rough for me.
I'm not going to be locked in change from then until now.
So we'll have some of those guys on your team.
So something I want to touch on.
I'm dropping Rashid or I'm dropping Zemir White.
Yep. Finally.
I gave him a chance.
I gave him four weeks.
I'm done.
I said he came out and said, uh, Madison's earned the right to more carries and more share.
And I don't want a part of them anymore.
I'm just going to want the readers backfield.
He started week one for me and he's been on my bench ever since.
And yeah, he's getting drunk.
Yeah.
I was just like, I'm done with him.
It's a mere white.
You got to go.
Jump into kind of our next topic.
You guys want to touch base on some fantasy pet peeves.
Some maybe discussing something that you guys don't necessarily like within fantasy.
Hang on. Let me go get my journal.
You got a whole diary full of stuff, huh?
Hey, just bro, I stay up at night about this shit.
Yeah, I mean, for me, definitely, you know, people that aren't actively within setting a full roster, especially with bi weeks starting now.
Or even just people that in some leagues, like I've seen people make trades and then immediately like it's just.
They regret it after like 48 hours and they're just begging and pleading with the league to have the trade vetoed after the periods already expired and the trade has gone through.
But they didn't do anything for those first first 48 hours.
I I know like for me in one league this year, there was a trade that went through and basically the guy immediately was like, I totally thought it was Bijon, not Robinson.
Or Bijon, not Brian Robinson.
And he was like, that was the only reason I accepted the trade.
But he did it immediately.
And I was like, dude, I'll gladly veto that for you because you noticed it at least right away and at least brought it to everyone's attention.
But otherwise, like.
I hate people that just like are like that.
I don't know what you guys have, but I'd love to hear some of your guys's.
Yeah, Jordan, I'll let you jump in.
I was I was thinking about it.
I don't know. I don't know if there's.
Something that truly annoys me.
Other than I guess like.
When you're trying to make trades and like a like a person doesn't even try to counter you, they just find it right away and don't even offer anything back or don't even have a conversation or.
You know, get something started to where it's, you know, that's the, you know, hey, I really want this player here's I'm throwing an offer like look at my team like make a counter offer, you know, instead of people just declining it or.
They do set a counter and it's just like a ridiculous counter that's not even doesn't even make sense for you to do when you're just trying to.
Make a fair trade happen and.
You know, people, I don't know.
Some people, I guess, don't like to have conversations about it or don't want to trade in general.
But I don't know, I think it'd be better if it's just like.
There's more of a conversation for a trade, you know, rather than just being rejected and no conversation is being had.
So I don't know, I guess.
I love that.
I love that take Jordan.
I want to jump in here and ask you like how you approach that because since you became a part of.
The main league with us, you've been one of the most active members as far as the trade market goes and.
I'll be.
Completely transparent and say that this is not one of my strong suits.
I touched on at the top of the show that I get way too invested into my players and I get way too passionate about it.
And I end up in a situation like we just discussed with Joe.
How do you go about that in approaching a trade situation.
With other people in league, especially if they're not open it to the way that you are.
Because that's that's.
Is a very serious struggle that for after 10 years, I still deal with Jordan.
I have traded.
Both seasons I've been in GSE.
Yeah, I've I don't know.
I usually feel like I like, I don't know.
I always feel like I make it more than a fair offer.
Like I'm not trying to.
Rig it one way or the other other benefits on the web.
Like I look at it is obviously it's easier with people, you know, like in person.
It's kind of like when you're playing cards against humanity, like when you know the person, like what's going to make this person laugh type thing.
So it's almost like, you know, when you're when you're trading with these people and like in a league for me going into a season, like, yeah, there's players I want to keep on my team.
But like realistically, like everyone on my team, like I'm open to trading.
Like for the right moves, the right situation, like, yeah, I trade anybody.
So I always go into the mindset with like, you know, yeah, any anyone on my team is available to make a trade, especially if it's a player that I want.
I'm trying to get a player that I really want.
Like, you know, obviously look at what your strong suits are running back or wide receiver stuff like that.
Like what is, you know, what are you like strong at?
What are you deep in?
Who can you give up, you know, and what you're trying to get?
So I don't know.
I just, I just like I said, I just go in with the mindset that everyone's available and I'm really trying to get this player that I want to trade.
So, you know, try to make a conversation happen and move it along that way.
If, you know, there's not much action going on as, as far as counters.
I'll trade you Rishi Rice and $50 fab for Justin Jefferson.
That sounds good.
Yeah, let's see.
You already took my vice.
Great. That's a fair trade offer.
No, you just need to drop him.
He's done for the season.
Oh, I know.
I was way for the confirmation, but yeah, I'm.
I mean, that's like, can we, can we get an expedition on this?
Can we like, I wish that NFL teams and NFL players just cared about this fantasy community a little bit more?
No, I don't know.
No, I know that they don't.
You know, Dan, what would happen to the rest already, you, you know, for sure, what happened?
They haven't ruled him out yet, for sure.
No, not according to sleeper.
When I thought they were doing an MRI yesterday.
They said they're getting, I think, more stuff for him, more like tests and stuff.
What if I remember correctly?
Manish.
I don't know. Yeah, it doesn't say anything about him.
I don't know.
Yeah, welcome to my fantasy team, you guys.
I don't know what to do, but I'm not going to do what everybody thinks I'm going to do.
Just freak out.
But I think the best situation for you right now, the way your season's going is make a trade.
Mix stuff up.
I told Cody he's going to need to do a two for one.
Oh, yeah.
Trade Gibbs.
And I'll give you Drake London and Bucky Irving.
I'd take that trade right now.
I was considering maybe, are you serious about that, by the way?
I'll send you the offer right now if you want to give me Gibbs.
I was considering sending Gibbs to Sheamus so he can have his handcuff.
I'd play him both the way Detroit runs the ball.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, I'd play him both.
They might have the best run game in the league over Baltimore.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's nasty.
No, but yeah, I'd make a trade.
Mix things up.
I'd be like, oh, I have to.
He literally is sending me the trade right now.
Jesus.
Talk about no pressure.
I send him an offer.
Why not?
We're on the pod.
We're together, boys.
Let's make things a little interesting.
I'll let you ponder on it.
We'll come back in touch based on this app next week's pod episode.
So stay tuned on that.
And here's what I will tell you right now.
I am not declining this trade.
But I am going to wait until waivers process tonight.
Fair.
And then we'll talk.
Fair.
Because for two reasons, one, because I have some bids in.
Of course.
Two, because I want to see who gets dropped because I know some something
somewhere that might have a freckle of litter in it is going to be dropped.
So.
But then you have to wait till Friday.
Well, unless it doesn't happen and then you and I can talk tomorrow morning.
That is true.
So it is on the table.
And honestly, as a two time champ, Jordan, maybe I should start taking your advice more often.
Do you want to like, you and I could just like have a little backdoor deal where you
can secretly run my team and then I'll just make your entry next year when I win.
Yeah, I'm down with that.
I think there's a word.
I can't remember what it is.
There it is.
Illusion.
Well, jump into the real fast.
No, I haven't gone yet, sir.
Oh, it's skipped me.
You're right.
I'm so sorry.
What do you got?
I'm going to go a little different direction with mine.
And it's social media based for me.
And I mean this in the best way.
I love all of you that have me on social media and that share things with me constantly.
But if you know me the way that you think you know me, you know that I'm part of a podcast that is based around fantasy football specifically.
One of my biggest pet peeves is when I get sent four or five, six, seven different messages about a fantasy football update.
Like I don't already know it.
Like I don't have my notifications turned on.
Like I don't follow all of the same pages like you do.
I'm not saying that I know it all or that I see it all.
But it becomes a lot after a while.
So that's a subtle call out to say, I promise you the news.
I've seen it.
That's my best bond Miller news this morning and then you're asking, did anyone know what what it was for?
Yeah, but nobody else knew what it was for until about two hours ago.
Very true.
I saw news.
I just didn't know what he did.
That's at least a group chat though with our whole entire league.
That's different.
Listen, I love on Miller, but I was curious if he caught arrested for impersonating a football player.
So yeah, it's I was going to say maybe a bond Miller was relevant, but his name hasn't been relevant.
I feel like a couple of years now.
Yeah, I mean, after he tore his ACL for the second time, like, yeah, this is the same guy.
Yeah.
And also get Sunday covered does not condone domestic violence in any way, shape or form.
So enjoy your four games.
Vaughn.
Well, I think speaking of Vaughn, we're moving to the games of the week this week.
I'll start it off. I'm going to go with.
Think big game for the bills bills at Texans this week.
Stefan Diggs playing his former team.
I don't know bills.
They got a they got ran over by Derek Henry and the Ravens.
So literally and metaphorically.
I'm curious to see how they bounce back after that. Josh Allen, I feel is still a top QB and the NFL.
So I feel like they'll be fine.
Might have just been coming into that game, maybe overlooking it towards the Texans and stuff on digs and stuff like that.
So we'll see. It should be a good game. I'm excited for it.
A lot of good games this week though. So a lot of good games to watch.
Yeah, that was my game as well.
Sorry, Brandon, if I if I took yours, it's OK.
We can match. It's it's it's OK, Jordan.
But I will give an honorable mention for me.
Otherwise looking at week five.
I do like the Thursday night matchup between the Bucks and the Falcons.
Yes, sir. I'm saying if you didn't say Bucks and Falcons, man, like I like that one a lot.
That's going to be a great game.
Be a shootout.
I think that will be a shootout. Cody, what do you got?
For me, guys, it's going to be Kansas City and Pittsburgh.
I like this matchup because they don't play each other.
I thought they didn't know I'm a Pittsburgh fan, but Pittsburgh plays Dallas at home.
Yeah, Kansas City. Oh, yeah, it's New Orleans.
I'm sorry. Yeah, Kansas City, New Orleans.
My mistake. You're good. Yeah.
I like this one just because, you know, it's in Kansas City and.
They're, you know, obviously going to have the home field advantage,
but I think Saints are going to come in hot with this, you know, I don't know.
I'm just intrigued by the matchup.
Two game losing streak for New Orleans. Turn it around.
Yep. I think so.
Especially after Kansas City losing Rishi Rice, if they don't fix up that wide
receiver room, maybe a big game from Travis Kelsey, Karim Hunt, but.
I mean, I like it. I think it's going to be another good game.
Fair enough. Well, with that being said, boys, we did have a little bit of our picks
in for that game for all those games. That's true. Yeah.
Jordan. Let's hear who you got in your own matchup.
I'm Texans, man. They're my Super Bowl pick for this year.
So you got to roll with them. Texans.
Man.
That's a toss up for me, man. I'm going to take the bills.
I think I'm going to take the Texans.
I'm going to take the Texans as well. Cody yours. Kansas City, New Orleans.
Who you got?
You can't bet against Kansas City at home, man. I'll take the Chiefs.
This is in New Orleans.
Just not.
Oh, you're right.
You're right. Yeah. I'm taking Kansas City. Jordan.
I'm going to roll three pick in the Chiefs. So that means New Orleans is going to win,
but I'm rolling with the Chiefs. Good. I hope they do.
All right. And then Bucks Falcons.
I'm going to take the Bucks taking the win down in Atlanta.
Cody.
I think so. Yeah. I'm going to have to go Bucks also on that.
I think they look good, man. They're hot. Baker's hot. He looks good.
He looks real good. I think it's going to be a game though.
I'll take the Bucks by a field goal, maybe.
Spread is two and a half. So.
Yeah, there you go.
I think this might be the coming out party for Kirk Husons in Atlanta.
He's not a big time primetime player usually.
He's got a lot of weapons around him. He's always been a great fantasy quarterback.
A great regular season quarterback.
I think it's a big game for Atlanta and Kirk Husons. I got the Falcons.
I like it. Nice. All right.
Well, boys, we do have a listener question this week.
This is submitted by Tyler Peterson.
Thank you. Thank you, Tyler. We appreciate it.
He is asking, can Swift still be started in his RB two spot and still be trusted?
I'll jump in. Yeah.
Yes, he can be started. No, he cannot be trusted.
Big week last week, but a lot of usage for Rochon Johnson there too.
I mean, you got to write it. I don't think Swift is dropable, but.
I mean, Swift is one of those players. If you start him, you're.
You're going to know that there's risk there and you're going to kick yourself for starting him at some point. So.
If that's your option, if there's nothing else better available. Yeah, I think you can play him at RB two.
Yeah, you honestly stole what I was going to say. I was like, yeah, you can start him. I don't know if he can be trusted.
I don't know if many people on the Bears can be trusted right now.
Yeah, I'd be worried just with the how many guys are on that team getting the ball.
Okay, the way I'm still trying to run it a little bit.
Rochon Johnson getting those goal line carries.
I feel like he's one of those players. Swift can be a four point player, a 20 point player in the right situation.
Him catching the ball out of the backfield, getting a couple of big runs.
You know, him being able to break a 10, 15, 20 yard play to get him in the end zone.
I feel like might be his only way he's getting to get touchdowns with Rochon Johnson and wide receivers there.
So same thing if you got a better option, I'd maybe keep him on the bench and see.
But yeah, I feel like he might be just hit or miss the rest of the year with the Bears.
Yeah, I'm going to say if it was Swift and Philly, by all means, start and trust.
But in Chicago, start them, but I wouldn't trust them.
If you have Johnson available in your league, I'd pick them up just as kind of, you know, just to have him because sooner or later, I could see Johnson taking over that starting role.
Yep.
Yeah, I can see that.
I hope that answers your question.
Be tread lightly, I guess.
Boomer bust probability there is it's either you're going to have a week where he's getting 20 or you're going to have a week where he's getting maybe five.
You're not taking advice from me.
My team didn't put up 80 points last week.
So best of luck to you.
You're going to have to kind of pick and choose if you want to start them or not.
I would definitely look at the matchups he has and kind of make your judgment based off that.
Hit that waiver wire.
Go pick up Karim Hunt.
Go pick up Trace Herman.
Is that what you said to Jordan?
No, just take a chance. Yeah, take a chance on somebody.
Yeah.
Good luck, Tyler.
Thank you for your question.
Well, I'm going to come to the end here.
Give a shout out to a player in my league in his first win.
He actually runs our fantasy team.
That Brandon's in with me, Ryan Keel, getting his first win finally with a 35 point game,
Monday night game from Kenneth Walker.
His first game.
Ryan, out of way.
Dreams do come true for some, I guess.
His name is Field of Dreams.
So good one, Ryan.
Congrats, Ryan.
I got a couple.
I want to shout out to just couple of players.
Mine, Kray, Josh M, Page P.
