Welcome back, everybody. One month down in the
fantasy football season and we are back. It's
the Get Sunday Covered podcast. It's Full House
again. It's Brandon, Jordan, Cody, and we're
here to roll through all of the emotions of week
four. It's good to see both of you here, fellas.
How we doing? I'm good. I got to win this week,
Seamus. I told you this on Thursday night. When
I jumped on the zoom, it was coming in. You're
welcome. Called your shot. I did. Now, granted,
I feel bad because he did have a last minute.
Yeah, that was kind of brutal. Jaylen Warren
did. Yeah, that was rough. What does Jordan always
say? 90 percent look, 10 percent skew. Excuses
don't make champions. You're like one of the
most quotable people I know Jordan, how are you
doing? I was camping welcome back Yeah, I there's
only two quotes and that's all it matters for
fantasy football Camping was fucking awesome,
dude. I was talking to you guys a little bit
about it Before we get on the air here, but it
was awesome. The weather was awesome Yeah, it
was just like it was just one of those Colorado
kind of fall camping trips were like It's like
70s during the day and like 20s 30s at night
like get a warm sleeping bag Enjoy some beverages
climb into that Yeah, enjoy camping in the outdoors
of Colorado, but it's good to be back We were
able to stream some football up there a little
bit. We had a little bit of service Really? Yeah,
we did we got the stream Sunday night and Monday
night. Shout out to AT &T wireless. Thanks to
Lord Pinkham in my league. GSC Colorado, Rob.
Thank you for the services. Yeah, what's up,
Rob? So, but yeah, it was cool. So always good
to try to stay up to date. I mean, I know some
people like when they like to go camp and they
want to be no cell service, cell communication
outside world. But I mean, it was, I mean, we
were sitting next to a fire. We had a cooler
next to the fire and iPad set up streaming Sunday
Night Football. I love it. It was that not the
best set up. It was it was pretty amazing. Chilling
with the guys just watching football. It was
awesome. It was such a good time. I think my
leagues overall went like two and two felt pretty
good. I don't know. It was I just had fun, man.
It was. I think every year between week probably
two and five I sometimes like I usually text
you like hey man like can you pay attention to
like these couple people's lineups because we're
going somewhere we don't have service people
can't check their phones um so it's it's usually
always between this time usually middle of september
to beginning of october where uh we're going
camping 11 mile canyon so well we mentioned it
last week man because i was talking a little
bit of shit because last year when you did this
you came back and you were sicker than a dog
man but uh apparently this year everything fell
into place because at least in gsc main um i
won't speak on on the other leagues uh we'll
get to that later but in gsc main dog She's your
team went up. Holy shit, man. So like you had
maybe, maybe the best scenario of anybody. You're
in nature. You're having a good time camping
and your fantasy team goes off and you get to
watch the games. Like, come on, man. 100 and
almost 80 points in a full PPR league. Come on.
Like calm down. Save some points for the rest
of us a little bit. I'm pretty sure that's with
Kayla Williams, only putting up like 11 points
this week, so. Yeah. Yeah, not even. Being the
number three QB in fantasy this year, so. Yeah,
I was looking at those points. I was like, dude,
are you serious? Like everybody was all concerned
about Ryan going into the year and I'm like.
Really? So I told you to calm the Jets with the
draft picks. They don't mean nothing. Yeah play
the games And Ryan just lost one of those players
Ryan lost you this week. We're gonna talk about
him. All right. All right. Sorry, maybe even
a third Maybe even a third and talk about that
Brandon. What about you? Yeah, it was a good
week Got some dubs can't be too disappointed
When I only lost in two lead two of my leagues
this week, so you can't be mad about that All
right. All right I'm in love it coming into into
a comfortable state. I guess so to speak Made
made some trades over the last week not okay
in Maine with you sir, but also made a pretty
pretty solid dynasty trade, I would say. I felt
like I got a decent offer and yeah, it worked
out. Love to hear it. Love to hear it. It's where
we're my high school basketball coach used to
call this the meat and potatoes of the season.
Right. This is where all of the like the the
crazy stuff like this is This is where it's at,
right? This is where all the trades and the moves
and the you know, all that work goes into When
you get to week 13 14 15, that's where all this
stuff pays off So I'm glad to hear it boys. I'm
really glad to hear it And we're gonna cover
a lot of that stuff on this episode a little
bit of week four updates notable injuries, obviously,
how that's affecting our teams and people that
we're playing with and things like that, as well
as some some crazy games, guys, I gotta tell
you, I feel like I just want to give a shout
out to the NFL. I know that like they come in
a lot of scrutiny a lot of the time, but there's
been some In my opinion some really badass games
this time a lot of really fun games to watch
So we're gonna jump into that before we do I'm
gonna hit you with a quick question. You guys
ready? Yes, sir. All right, let's do it. Ah Shout
out Malik neighbors one of the best receivers
in the NFL down once again MetLife claims another
victim. In your opinion, should the NFL get rid
of turf fields altogether, even though it costs
teams millions? What are you guys thoughts on
this? Well, I like to go first on this. I don't
know. This is tough for me because I look at
turf fields is like, you know, I know you guys
are a little bit younger than me, but like even
like early 2000s, like when turf field was just
like, straight carpet over concrete. Like dudes
weren't even wearing pleats. It was just tennis
shoes on some carpet on top of concrete. Just
like baseball fields used to be. The Astrodome.
The Minnesota Twins Stadium back in the day.
Minnesota Vikings. All these indoor stadiums.
So I feel like turf technology has gotten better.
I don't know. It's just nothing replicates grass.
But we're like the only country in the world
that like spins like So much money on on grass
Landscaping, I don't know. So it's like I like
I like turf because it's Obviously whatever talk
about how many tires it takes to chop up with
a little black stuff You can see when someone
toe taps knocks a little bit of that black stuff.
So I'd like to that's my Pro towards the con
of getting injuries, but it's like I feel like
the way these dudes are now like more dudes are
getting more ACL or Achilles injuries. I feel
like more than there's ever been like there's
not may have maybe there's not as many concussions,
but no, I I don't know. I I don't think so. I
think I think turf fields. It's I think it's
always going to be kind of half and half and
I think like even Denver, you know their new
stadium. I imagine unless they rolled out like
Arizona's where they're rolling out grass outside.
You know, so it's it's going to be a field like.
So Denver's solution to that is like, hey, we
have an indoor field just like Minnesota. They're
never going to host the Super Bowl in Minnesota
in January or February, so we need to do it like
them. So it's going to be a turf field in Denver.
I already said though, wasn't the Super Bowl
in Minnesota like two years ago? That's what
I'm saying. Denver's getting that new stadium,
so they're going to be able to host the Super
Bowl. Like the Steelers are able to host the
Super Bowl without Ror Grass in February. So
it's all it's all going to come down to money
that I don't think so. It's I think more teams
are going to go to turf than to regular grass.
But for Denver, shout out. I will give a major
shout out here to Denver's ownership. The fact
that they are going to pay for the new stadium
and tax payers. Aren't gonna have to pay a dime
of it shout out to the ownership for that because
that's that's a huge I think that's a huge move
on the Broncos organization as a whole But yeah,
just I'm getting noticed I just think more teams
are moving the turf then It's a regular grass.
Do I agree with it? No, I wish more teams would
have actual real grass over turf, but I think
it's more teams are going turf than grass. So
I actually did some reading. I won't call it
research because it wasn't fully in depth, but
I did do some reading on the stats about this.
And like, you're not wrong, Jordan, like it's
it's pretty 50 50. You know what I mean? Like
players are going to get hurt. It's it's a gnarly
sport and. It's it's. It's gonna happen one way
or another let's be on it kind of yeah. Yeah,
it's like super physically demanding and like
When a person or a player gets hurt on grass
Nobody's like oh like they should go to a turf
field, but it's like easy to point the blame
at the turf field but I mean you watch some of
these plays like I mean It's a, it's a rough
sport, dude. They're going to get hurt. It's
kind of what it is. I don't, I don't like blaming
it on turf is what I'm getting at. I mean, let's
be fair here. How many high schools are actually
using grass nowadays? To be fair like if I reflect
on playing high school football, I hated playing
on turf But it was awful. You don't know why
it's not because I got injured. I didn't I hated
taking off my cleats and having 1 ,500 little
pieces of rubber pellets in my shoes I reference
earlier. That's I mean technology has only gotten
better on that I feel like everything is better
than that. I don't know. I haven't been on a
field in probably close to 20 years on a turf
field. Exactly. Well, and here's the thing. I
was in high school 11 years ago. I know. I mean,
I ran track. I was at all of these different
fields throughout the state. I can't really think
of one off the top of my head that was truly
grass. like 90 % of them at Least we're all turf.
Yeah, and you ain't paying your ass blue for
Boise You ain't doing the red turf like I mean
think about how many how many colleges use turf?
Yeah, it's just think about the maintenance suit.
They Right down the street. They just change
all their softball fields A couple years ago
from all grass to all turf. You don't have to
water it. Sky view. You know, yeah. All these
places. It's just like, I get it. Like maintenance
is so much lower. You don't have anyone to cut
it, but like everyone's like scrap. Like I want
to slide. I want to get some, like some grass
stains on my socks, you know, like stuff like
that. You just don't get that with turf. You
just, like Cody said, you get cut up on your
calves. Like you get cut up some and you get
a bunch of rubber pellets in your feet. So I
don't know. This is a, I don't even know what
this is like debatable. This is just one of those
things where it's we can't do anything about
it. It's just, I think the cost saving efficiency
of turf is why it makes sense over grass. Yeah.
I mean, you got those stadiums like here in Vegas
where, you know, you roll the grass out and then
replace it like Arizona does the same thing like
it's weird I'm pretty sure the Raiders play on
grass and UNLV plays on turf or vice versa games
in Allegiant right they do and I know that because
I am going next weekend sir not next weekend
we can after But yeah, they do. And but that's
what I'm saying is like. You can roll the grass
out, I guess, if you have the money and the space
to do that. But like Jordan, like you said, in
Denver, like you're going to do that, you're
going to roll the grass out and in frigging.
Early January, we're like, whether it's going
to be free, like that's not going to work, man,
it's going to have to be. Like I hear they're
saying new stadium in Denver is going to have
like a retractable roof and stuff like that,
which is dope. Obviously, this is designed to
host a Super Bowl or host other like major college
games and stuff like that. Like major events.
I mean, March Mad. Sustainability on those lines.
Right. Turf is. Obviously. more cost effective
and easier. But I would be super curious to hear,
like, some of these elite athletes talk about
like, what really is the difference? You mean,
because I don't I don't freaking know, you know,
well, they also haven't they like, made like
certain cleats nowadays, too, for turf verse
grass. Oh, I'm sure they have. Yeah, absolutely.
So like, if you're really I think if you have
that option, why would you not? And you know,
you're going to be playing a game in turf regress.
Where are the cleats that work for the one that
you're playing on? Like it might be different,
but. If it gives you an advantage, why wouldn't
you use it? But then if you ask somebody like
Malik neighbors from this weekend in MetLife,
where it's notorious for just reaping some ACLs,
And Achilles. And Achilles. It's hard to argue.
Someone's probably doing research to look up
injuries like Joe Theismann and Alex Smith both
broke their leg in the same stadium for the same
team. Same type of play, like on natural grass.
You know, I don't know. I don't think there's
anything to like you said, I think people are
just looking at a reason to to get rid of it.
I think it's going to happen regardless. I just,
I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's just,
I don't know, you know, insert Jordan quote here.
Champions don't make excuses. Excuses don't make
champions, but I just, it's just like when they
come out with like the helmet technology, like
this helmet safer than any helmet before the
least amount of concussions ever before. Well,
it's like no shit. Like look at the hits that
there are now today compared to 20 years ago
i hope it's it's like phone coming out the iphone
17 the most power iphone ever well i hope you're
not going backwards like yeah it's gonna be the
best newest phone you know so it's like stuff
like that's where it's like i don't know with
like the injuries and stuff like that it's like
they're trying to make it safer for everyone
but like people tearing stuff i think that no
matter if you're on turf or if you're on grass
um you're on astro turf You're playing on the
basketball court. You're on asphalt. You're on
concrete. Your people are making cuts. People
are trying to be the the next Kobe Bryant, the
next Michael Jordan, the next Calvin Johnson,
the next Randy Moss. I want to make the next
big play. So injuries are just going to happen,
dude. Humans are evolving. Not everyone's got
the strong muscles. I don't know. It's just it
is what it is. I mean, you probably look at the
build of some of these players from The early
2000s versus players now What was the average
weight of a running or a wide receiver 20 years
ago? probably one I Will 200 yeah, I was gonna
say like probably 200 to 10 and what's the average
weight now probably 170 180 yeah, I mean that's
30 40 That's you. Yeah, you look at that for
any sport around, you know, I mean, I mean, it's
getting they're getting they're getting leaner.
They're getting everything is everything's developed
into speed. Yes. Verse muscle. Right. Yes. Mass,
I guess. Yes. And strength. Everything's developed
into that speed realm. 100 percent. You look
at the NHL. I mean, average height back 20 years
ago was. Probably what? Six, two, six, three
for an average player. And now and now it's probably
six, five, 11. Skill and speed, man. Like it's
all about speed nowadays. Look at the top players
in the NHL. McKinnon, 22 mile hour burst. McDavid,
like all these guys that are just busting out
the seams with this insane speed on the ice.
I think it's every sports kind of developed into
that speed. I mean, for instance, NBA is a little
bit different. It's all about shooting now with
not as much of an aggressive defense versus the
nineties back in the nineties. Defenses were
insane. That is having a big center scale. Exactly.
Like you just don't everything's developed over,
you know, into different kinds of schemes over
the last 30 years. Yeah. It's changed. The games
change. I agree. Well, I Guess we're just gonna
keep finding out because it's not going away
and The games are gonna keep playing. So I just
I hope the best for all of the players Whether
it is grass or turf, but unfortunately we did
lose a Couple of key players this week. So let's
take it away for week four We'll jump into Well,
we'll start it off with the major injuries. We
already talked about it. Malik, neighbors. Bummer.
Super sucks for him. Super early in his career.
And like we talked about this before. He was
just being able to probably build that relationship
with Jackson, Jackson Dart. And that's what I'm
saying, like. God, I wish he was on a different
team. We talked about it on last week's episode.
I just wish he was on a different team, man.
He's so freaking good. He's so talented. And
now we're going to have to wait another year
to see how that goes. Tyreek Hill, I'm hoping
at this point, not necessarily hoping, but I
trust that at this point, everybody has seen
the video of that injury. holy shit that was
disgusting that was brutal like gross um and
then you know other names like lamar jackson
guys were were weak for in the books for fantasy
football um these injuries have big implications
for a lot of teams I would imagine that a lot
of teams that are two and two, three and one,
whatever, had some of these players on their
team. I look at our league and I'm just going
to kick it off there. I want you guys to kind
of give me your thoughts on this. But in GSC
Maine, Ryan, who was arguably the favorite after
the draft to win this league this year, dropping
both Lamar and Tyreek. Go ahead on everything
that I just spewed on you I Think Tyreek honestly
was a coin flip no matter who took him this year
Miami Dolphins as anyone has watched like they
beat the Jets like I think to us has had one
too many concussions Tyreek was looking good
last year, dude. That's it? Only one? One too
many? I thought Miami was looking pretty decent
last night. Honestly, Tyreek was looking good.
Unfortunately, had to go down with that injury.
Lamar Jackson, I don't know, Baltimore just looks
bad. I don't even know what they... It's like
they lost those bills week one. And then I've
just kind of been like, we don't know what to
do type thing. I don't know. Lamar is just one
of those players where it's like, he's kind of
like awesome Matthews, dude. He's great in the
regular season, but come playoff time. I don't
know. It's like you're getting a Lamborghini
in the playoffs and then you get like a four
pinto on the playoffs, dude. It just ain't performing
the same as it did the regular season. So for
Ryan, I think he's fine with Lamar. I think Lamar
is going to come back. No problem. I like Lamar.
He might also lose Bucky. He could still run.
Oh, fuck, that's right. Yeah. I don't know. I
don't think so. We'll see. I'm always worried
about Ryan's draft picks and this and that, but
I don't think I don't know. I wouldn't be I wouldn't
be worried if I was Ryan like he's losing Tyreek,
but he dropped $100 to get Bruce Hall. So he's
got a player there. He can plug in there, but
no, I don't know. Yeah, it sucks for any neighbors
owners I mean the John I don't know did he did
Jackson Dorn have like 112 yards passing this
week like stop Russell Wilson had 452 weeks ago
against the Cowboys like let's be real like I
understand they want a game It's kind of like
okay. It's kind of like putting your backup goalie
and NHL like Everybody plays better because it's
a backup goalie Like everyone's trying harder,
like let's win for this guy. And then they win.
And then they realize, and it's like, wait, this
is still the back up. This is our number one
anymore. I'm not saying Jackson Darts like that,
but that's how this game felt was like, we need
to win this game for Brian Dable. We need to
win this game for Jackson Dart. Like I just,
I don't know, man. Like I like him. I hope he,
I hope he does great. I hope he does. You just,
you can't, no one can do good in New York. Has
anyone been a good quarterback in your lifetime
for the Jets or the Giants that you guys recall?
Chad has been the best for either team over the
past 20 years. Eli got two Super Bowls. Shut
up. And how many interceptions did he throw?
It doesn't fucking matter. He got Tony Romo.
No. But he won two Super Bowls. I agree with
you. I'm going to cut you off, Jordan. And I'm
sorry, Brennan, I'm going to cut you off too.
And I'm only doing this because I am so Fully
invested into the hype train of Jackson Dart
and cam scataboo together. I am. I am balls deep
into that hype train, dude. I'm here for both
of them. Oh, goodness. What do you mean? Oh,
goodness. Yeah. 112 yards. Cam scataboo. Yes.
Chargers. I didn't bash scataboo one time. Mainly
I was bashing. How many games did? Tom Brady
win by like a field goal or like a fucking a
botched call or some shit like fuck off. I don't
care if you only had 112 yards or however many
it was. How many Super Bowls is Jackson Dart
won? How many championships has that Jackson
Dart won? Yes, you want a couple of those. You
want me as 100 100 yards past the game. I'm here.
I'm here for the hype for those two. Mostly because
that's coming off of the hate for Russell Wilson.
I hope Jackson Dart takes this starting job and
never looks back. I hope Russell Wilson retires.
James would have been a better option. No, I
don't. I don't. I love the swag that Jackson
Dart has. Not saying that James Winston doesn't.
Not saying that Russell Wilson doesn't. But it's
the new freshness. It's the new, like, come on,
man. Like, that team needs something. The same
way that Cleveland needs something. Shudor, baby.
Yeah, well, news as of this moment right now,
as we're recording, is that they're going to
start telling Gabriel this next weekend. Joke.
Joke of an organization. Do you know where Jackson
Darwin went to college? Ole Miss. Do you know
who's college coach was? Lane Kiffin? Yeah, there
you go. They just came out the documentary this
week about Lane Kiffin. If you guys, if no one...
I did see that. I recommend watching it. Super
good. He was coach of the Raiders for a little
bit. He was the offense coordinator at USC. Nick
Saban helped him out. He left there. Anyways,
I just feel like that had a big... and I think
helping Jackson Dart develop at Ole Miss and
kind of with his personality, I feel like Lane
Kiffin kind of bled off in him a little bit.
So it's kind of cool. I hope Jackson Dart does
great. Like I have nothing against the Giants
or the Jets. Like there was no hatred and me
talking crap about New York teams. Like it's
just one of those things where it's kind of like
the Bears and the Vikings. Like who's your all
-time quarterback? you don't really have one
i just yeah i hope they do good like i hope jackson
art does good hope neighbors comes back um healthy
next year does great obviously but um it's gonna
be uh time for some other giants receivers to
step up when that went wandell robinson and uh
serve that's what i'm hoping is wandell daria
slayton theo johnson Cam Scadaboo, I think obviously
he's a must start ever since Tracy went down,
but I think Scadaboo even more so now helping
out Dart. So we'll see moving forward for the
the Giants here should be interesting. A lot
of. Pretty impactful in injuries. I think. Talking
about Ryan and his team. Do you think? He stays
dominant because you and him have both pretty
much. Separated yourself from the rest of the
league and. Brandon correct me if I'm wrong,
but like. There's two standouts right now. It's
Jordan and Ryan and with Ryan potentially losing
both of these. I mean like. What do you do in
these situations? Both of you put up almost.
30 points more. Then the next closest team and
now he's losing potentially three really important
pieces to that team. Does he stay dominant? Yeah,
it's got a good bench. If I'm right, I ain't
worried. I don't think Lamar. Misses anytime.
I think they came out of that game because they're
getting spanked. They look bad. I'm not worried
about Lamar. I'm not worried if I'm right. Yeah,
you lost Tyreek. You're dropping him for the
year. Obviously, he's not coming back. He already
did. By the way, that just happened. Yeah. He
and like I said earlier, he spent 100 on of fab
money for Brice Hall. So I don't know. I'm not
worried if I'm right. I'm like. Look at the points
he's putting up. And it's not because of Tyreek
Hill and Lamar Jackson. Like, his team's good.
I ain't worried. Don't worry, Ryan. You're good.
Yeah, fair enough. Fair enough. He does have
Rashid Rice coming back. Coming back, yeah. Yeah.
Help with Xavier Worthy, so. Yep. Yeah. I'm happy
to have Patrick Mahomes right now, because he
looked good this weekend. Finally. Finally. On
my bench. Their offense is not that good. They
just have no good. Good. Fuck the Chiefs. I mean,
I agree, but... One of my leagues this weekend,
I... Speaking of AFC West, I played this guy
and I texted him, I reminded him, I said, hey,
you need to fix your lineup. He had a running
back that was out, I think it was James Connor,
he didn't fix it. So I'm like, dude, get it together,
do your thing. And then also didn't have a kicker
in his lineup, didn't do either of those things.
So he had two duds. on his team for the weekend.
And I still fucking lost by point nine, dude.
I'm now one in three in that league. Maybe you
should stop playing too. Do you want to talk
about being furious, dude? I was like, you have
to be kidding me. Like I looked at my team. I
was like, look, I did my due diligence. I reminded
him, I gave him a shout out in the lead chat
on sleeper, all this stuff, hey, fix your lineup,
you gotta fix your lineup, you gotta make sure
that this stuff is all taken care of. Nope, didn't
do it and I still lost, dude. Like I'm looking
at it right now. Tom is not real. 106 .4 to 105
.5. Outstood he had James corner And an empty
kicker slot I Mean sounds like a Steven a couple
weeks ago In Maine or Whitney yeah, yeah Rage
quit It's fantasy football, dude. I don't want
it's such bullshit. 90 percent left, 10 percent
scale. So it sounds like you guys are doing decent
so far in your leagues. I am doing. A solid mediocre
like, yeah, I'm I'm OK in a like. Couple leagues,
I'm like meh. All right couple leagues. I'm like,
okay that my team's pretty good here and then
like one league I'm like Yeah, this this ain't
it. Yeah, like you always have that one league,
especially when you play like five leagues I
feel like where you have that one league where
you're just like fuck my team is It's if you
play five or more leagues you have you have one
league where you're like My team is better looks
next year. I'm fucking done with this one because
I'm I give up right now because it is not looking
great at all in one league. But that's why I
bring that up. So like I'm looking at all of
my leagues right now. And just out of curiosity
for you guys, your opinion on this, is there
really anyone worthy of picking up? this week
on the Waverwire. Woody Marks. Maybe Darren Waller.
Woody Marks has already taken in our league.
Shout out to Steven Adam on his bench. It wouldn't
matter, Steven. You can swap them out for whoever.
But Houston played Tennessee. So how much value
can you put into that? True. What about? Darius
Slayton for the Giants, but many more. Yeah,
Robinson. He's riding the pine. I think. Oh,
and and Jackson Dart is dog shit, right? This
is what you said earlier. He had 112 yards, did
I? I didn't call him dog shit. I don't think
I ever said those two words. Yeah, I think that
was you. All I'm saying is it's one of my 112
yards and Russell Wilson had. 452 weeks ago,
and everyone's praising Jackson Dart. That's
all I'm saying. Yeah, because everyone hates
Russell Wilson. I mean, dude, the way that the
way that man, I don't even know his press conferences
the way that he speaks like, it's like a serious
shameless makes it easy. I just Yeah, I don't
know what it is, dude. I don't like it. I agree
with that. I don't like it. So Yeah, if you never
spoke, you know, it's one of those things where
it's kind of like Carmelo Anthony if you just
play you're good But if you never speak it's
better Wow, no love for mellow dude, come on
I Love Carmelo Anthony. Sorry. We have Isaiah
Pacheco available in our league anybody interested
No Kareem. He's about 50 pounds overweight. I
mean, really, realistically, maybe Kenneth Gainwell.
Depending upon how Warren's out and he did have
a pretty good freaking week last week. Yeah,
just because they don't trust the rookie after
the ball hit his helmet and no one knows the
rules of it going to the end zone. Yeah, I don't
trust Gainwell. Maybe picking up Rashad white.
I'm not I'm not interested in gain well either
Jordan I'm not plugging any of these guys into
my starting line on my bench and pray someone
else gets injured like long term and They have
to play somehow, but no I'm not trusting anyone
that's mentioned in the past 15 minutes Guys
give me some Nevermind. I got it right here.
The third running back in Tampa Bay. You guys
know the name? Don Mitchell? No, no. Okay. Okay.
Sean Tucker. Yeah, I was gonna say you have the
first name, right? I might be more interested
in that. I agree because Rashad White did lost
his starting role to Bucky and Yes, say that
won't happen to Tucker yeah, yeah I Guess we'll
find out in about five hours Or for you guys
watching that all has happened already Also,
I just want to say We are entering the best month
of the year, folks. Oh, it's over for sports.
Let's go. Best month of the year is here. October
is here, baby. We got so happy. Baseball hockey
one week away next Tuesday. NBA end of the month.
Sports Equinox is around. It's so good. I love
this. Or it's Equinox. All four major sports
playing one night. I mean, you got you also have
college football, college basketball, college
hockey, college hockey starts this week. Jordan,
I'll be there Friday, Friday night like CC. Let's
go like I'll be here. Fifth year at Robson Arena.
I'll be there. October, dude. Everything. You
got everything. Yeah. Really? The fifth year.
The fifth year at Robinson Arena. Holy crap,
dude. Yeah. That's. Yeah, they opened in twenty
one, right? Twenty. Twenty. Oh, yeah. October
8th, twenty, twenty one. So fourth year. Sorry.
Fifth year. Right. Twenty one. That's crazy.
Twenty three, twenty four, twenty five. Five
years. Yeah. Insane. And every game has been
sold out. Yeah. October's awesome for sports,
man. Like whatever you're watching, like watch
something that's exciting. Watch something. Do
yourself a favor. It's the best month of the
year for you sports fans. That's all that matters.
Yeah. Well, Jordan, I want to circle back on
some stuff that we talked on on the week four
recap. You mentioned something earlier right
before we started recording. and you had a really
good question for Brandon and I, and I want you
to bring that up because I think this deserves
discussion and not because it's super fantasy
relevant, but I think there are a lot of decisions
like this in fantasy and the NFL in general.
So hit me with what you said earlier. Well, I
think you're talking about the the two and Trevor
Lawrence like out of these two guys like who
you taking dude like Jacksonville somehow Jacksonville's
three and one Miami's one and three is it to
his fault like Trevor Trevor does not look like
a three and one quarterback like he never has
I'm not taking either of these guys I don't want
either of them right now two was one one I had
one too many concussions Trevor Lawrence just
I don't know, man. I just feel like every year
he regresses. Like, who would you rather have
right now? Same age? Currently, Tua is 22nd in
fantasy points in quarterbacks, and Trevor Lawrence
is 25th. They are spread by 2 .4 points. If you'd
have asked me before I said this question, I'd
have figured Trevor Lawrence was ahead of Tua.
I don't like this question at all. And I'll tell
you why. Because there is too much to the story
for both of these quarterbacks, right? As you
look at Tua, who has been borderline murdered
on the friggin NFL field. Like it's a miracle
that he's playing and I'm glad that he is. It's
a miracle he has a brain. That right Okay Trevor
Lawrence had all of the hype in the world when
he came in as the number one overall He's gonna
change the franchise. He's gonna take over and
he's gonna be fantastic and When when you pose
that question to me, who would you rather have
Tua or Trevor Lawrence? Honestly I'd rather shave
my balls with a cheese grater like. I'm sorry.
Like I'm just saying, like it's I don't want
anything to do with either of those offenses,
honestly. Yeah, like. To be fair, I'd rather
have Zach Wilson over both of them. Bold. Bold.
It's fair. I don't know. It's like, I don't know.
Okay. I don't know. You guys are both right.
Like for me, it's just like, I look at both these
guys, like Tua, dude, you look at him, like trying
to escape the pocket, dude. He's so scared to
run. I don't know. It's kind of like Derek Carr.
It's kind of like Derek Carr with the Raiders.
He broke his leg down one year. He was never
the same quarterback after. He was scared. He
was just never the same quarterback. Trevor Lawrence
took that big hit, bad concussion. I don't know,
dude. I don't know. I just don't know. Both these
guys got paid. That's what kills me is both these
guys got a lot of money. For what? What have
you won? What have you done? Miami's offense
two, three years ago was number one in the NFL,
leading passing yards, number one in the offense.
But what did you do with it? You lost the Buffalo
in the playoffs. It doesn't matter. Like, let's
get out of here. Well, Miami can't play anywhere
cold during playoffs. Yeah, so it's just like,
yeah, I don't like, I don't like either of these
guys. I don't like Aaron Rodgers being old as
F playing with us, but it's like - I'd rather
take him. Hey, man, the Sealers are doing good
with him. They're playing good. He looks good
with DK McCaff. Like, so I don't know, like -
I will say Cody, I said it on the first episode
of the year. I said Steelers are winning the
North. I'm getting very confident in that decision
right now. I feel very good about that. It's
a good take. Bangles are looking bad. Cleveland
is Cleveland. I think we're talking about the
Ravens being a bunch of frauds. There was all
this hype around them. I know I do quite a bit
of sports betting and stuff. Pretty sure when
I looked it up beginning the season, they were
the favorites to win the Super Bowl this year.
I'm pretty sure I picked them. I yeah, I'm. Maybe
I did. I probably said good things about him,
but they look bad like Derek Henry. Like put
out a missing persons thing because he's nowhere
to be found. Lamar Jackson can't show up in the
playoffs like. Any big game like this who leaves
in the third quarter like they have Cooper rush
come in There's no medical attention on the sideline
looking at this dude. Like what is going on?
I like how the Ravens done John Harbaugh finally
lose Is this the end of the runner for Harbaugh
and Mike Tomlin? No No, Tomlin's good. I think
Tomlin's no problem You know, it has another
nine eight season or eight nine This is it for
him soon as Tommy gets fired. He's being hired
by another team immediately right, so I don't
want it for Pittsburgh, but that's That that's
what it is every year. They're right around they
make the playoffs losing the first round Yeah,
it's cool, but I want them. I don't want to lose
them, but I don't know man the Ravens are It's
good for the Steelers, but the Ravens look bad,
dude. Like, they don't look good. No. Like, like
I said, Derek Henry, Zay Flowers is just one
week he's good. The other week he doesn't show
up. I don't like who's the blame on their defense
is terrible. Which is crazy to me. Can't stop
anybody, dude. Like I said, that was that week
one Sunday night matchup against Buffalo. They
gave up 41 in that game. They lost. I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't like the Ravens,
dude. I expect more out of them this year than
what is happening. I think everybody did. Can
I tell you guys a secret? I tried to trade for
Derek Henry last week, prior to this week's game.
I'm glad I didn't go through. Me too. I do know
the trade out did go through though, Cody. Go
on. You and I had a trade. I'm happy with it.
I'm happy with it. Dobbins straight up for Pittman,
yeah. Dobbins for Pittman. I thought it was fun.
Well, Cody also got his crutch because he does
have R .J. Harvey. Correct. And I frigging knew
that this is what was going to happen. R .J.
Harvey was finally going to find himself in the
end zone, which was fine because my team went
off this week. Shout out, Stefan. Sorry, buddy.
You are no longer undefeated. I'll take that.
Yeah. Pleasure doing business with you, Ben.
And you got a touchdown out of Pittman again,
so. I did. It was another trade this week. I
had a pretty big trade in dynasty. Managed to.
Trade I am in the war and a 26 second round pick.
And I managed to get ETN. And then in the in
dynasty, dude, I did not have a backup. My backup
was Anthony Richardson. So I got Spencer Rattler
now granted my quarterback right now is Jalen
Hertz. I will gladly take that But I was not
disappointed with my team one bit this week when
I threw up a hundred and fifty -five. Yes, sir
Is there I'm a little I'm trying to just kind
of be chill when it comes to dynasty. I don't
think I have what it takes to be competitive
this year. But I'm also trying to sell into the
playoffs last year and got blown out. So I'm
I for me, I'm like, I'm chill. Like if I can
make my team just a slim bit better. Cool. That's
what I'm saying is like I'm not super interested
in. I know if I make the playoffs great, if not
fine. But I'm also not trying to sell the house
and I'm also not trying to Like go for gold,
you know what I mean? Remember that last year
at the end of the year all the people that that
were out We're like, oh trade with me and it's
like That's where I'm at I'm like did because
I'm telling you right now if you listen out our
dynasty boys We've got a you got to get into
dynasty. It's a it's a whole different ballgame.
It's Don't even know how to explain it man. Like
maybe you can explain it better than I can Brandon
But like do you just get you got to think farther
ahead? You have to like there's there's a lot
more strategy that goes into it night And the
dynasty boys do that There's so much fun. Like
there's guys like shout out to the boys Yeah,
seriously that league is one of my Favorites
and it's boss Cody You did you almost wanted
to drop last year out of that league? I Did you
were like this? It's too much for me. I'm just
I'm not feeling it Well, I think as time has
progressed you've really kind of you step more
it For me with dynasty. It feels like you're
much more kind of in that GM rule of like a full
team because you have to worry about the future.
You have to really dial in and do your in -depth
research on these rookies that are coming in,
too. Let me tell you, you're absolutely right
about that. But what I will say is that I wanted
to get out of that league because what brings
me joy in fantasy football is talking shit with
you gentlemen and everybody else that's in GSC
main. everybody that's in our league we've been
playing together for so long and we have so much
fun together and we talk shit back and forth
and we send memes and gifts and and just funny
texts and stuff like that all the time i didn't
want to commit to another league that i couldn't
enjoy that same way especially when it came to
dynasty like in my mind i was like if i'm going
to play dynasty i wanted to be with the people
that I know how to have fun with. Shout out,
Stephen, for joining this year. This dynasty
league has turned into that where we are communicating
and sending funny memes and emojis and stuff
like that. And like, it's great, dude. It's super
great. Jordan, you missed the boat, dude. Have
you ever played dynasty, Jordan? I did in the
league before you joined and then the league
that Brandon joined. the best ball league, that
was a dynasty league for, I don't know, I was
playing that dynasty league for probably 10 years.
I made a trade for Le 'Veon Bell. And then he
ended up sitting out for a year in dynasty. So
he just sat there for a year on my bench, not
doing anything. I held on to him because of the
dynasty. He came back with the Jets and... That
was like the last year we played dynasty and
we switched it. So I did like dynasty. I thought
it was fun. I'm sure you guys did the same thing.
You only draft rookies have like two rounds of
drafts and you draft rookies. I like it. It's
super fun. I think it's one of those things where
I'm not trying to be in too many leagues and
try to do a dynasty. So it's one of those things
where if I'm doing like two mains and maybe a
dynasty. I think. We should turn GSC main. Maybe
not necessarily turn it into a dynasty, but we
should have a dynasty with all of us like have
to keep your leaders. Yeah, something like that
would be something like that. Well, we are getting
to that point in the episode. It's it's running
along again. We had a long episode last week.
Jordan, you missed it. Me and Brandon, we're
just shooting the shit. Sorry. We are getting
to that point again in this episode that we should
probably wrap it up, boys. Let's do some games
of the week. What are we thinking, fellows? I'll
go first. I don't know. Maybe this is a big game
for the Broncos. I feel like they need this one.
It's Broncos at Eagles. Broncos look good against
the Bengals, but the Bengals, like, you can't
trust them. The Bengals don't have a defense.
They don't have an offense. The Bengals don't
have shit, man. I feel like the Broncos' offense
is better than the Eagles. Like, come out, Broncos.
Let's win this game. I'm taking the Broncos,
dude. I love it, dude. Our resident Broncos fan
is going to take Broncos. Just say it now. I'm
going to jump in. I agree with everything that
you said. I think that they need this game. I
am a little nervous that it's in Philly. AJ Brown
is unhappy presently, but that doesn't mean anything
because he's a generational talent. I love the
Broncos. I want the Broncos to win, but I have
a hard time taking them on the road. I'm going
to go Eagles. Wow. You heard it here, folks.
First, folks, Broncos fan taking the Eagles.
Hey, look at look at my pickups, dude. I'm crushing
it. That's fair. I. I've sucked. I've taken some
chances already this year. And yeah, I've got
a three game lead on everybody else in our pickups
lead like calm down Yeah, you're out of the Survivor
League though. I am god damn it. What you gotta
bring that up? Cuz I'm still in it bitch I actually
really like this game Jordan when I saw you pick
this I was like fuck but I'm going to I'm going
to roll with the Eagles here. I think at home,
it's it's I really think this game is really
going to come down to which defense is actually
performing better and wins the turnover battle.
That's really nice. I just don't like that. It's
in Philly. That's my only thing. Like, I would
love to take the Broncos in this. I just don't
like that. It's in Philly. So next huge game.
Go Broncos. Let's go, Jordan. I'm pouring gas
on that fire right now. I hope so, dude. Cody,
what do you got this week? Give me the bucks
and the Seahawks, man. Two, three and one. And
in my opinion, I think both of these teams, I
think they have something to prove. Three and
one says a lot. That's a good start to the season.
But is it sustainable? It's kind of what I'm
looking at. So Bucks, Mike Evans, eh, a little
bit hurt. Is Bucky Irving hurt? Maybe. Seahawks?
I don't really believe in them, if I'm honest.
How you went three and one in the first four
games? I'm a little scared. I'm excited to see
both these teams go head to head. Bucks put up
a good game against the Eagles. I don't know,
dude. I think it's gonna be fun. I think it's
gonna be an exciting game. Give me the bucks
in this one even minus Mike Evans potentially
My god went back and Godwin didn't look too bad.
Yes, give me bucks. I'll agree with that. I'll
go bucks as well I'll keep mine short and sweet
here Well since it was uh, I was the only picking
the Broncos with did you picking the Eagles?
I don't know man. You had this one up there and
I thought about it like Maybe it's one of those
things, the Seahawks are at home, like, that's
where it's at, right, in Seattle? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. And I don't know, man. Sam Darnold looks
good. I didn't think Sam Darnold was going to
do good for the Seahawks this year. And I love
that for him. Seahawks came out and I felt like,
you know, put it to the Steelers, dude. Sam Darnold
looked good. I love Baker. You know, I've already
preached Baker on this podcast. I love Baker.
Everyone wants Baker, but like love Baker. I'm
I'm rolling Seahawks in this one, dude. I mean,
Seahawks take it. I think they're going to shock
some people this year. All right, Brandon, what
you got? I'm rolling with Sunday Night Football.
New England at Buffalo. Unless I say. Buffalo
white out That's gonna look sick But why is England
not wearing theirs either? Why did we make these
rivalry jerseys and both teams not wear them?
Especially when they're off -color. It just doesn't
make sense to me Like Say do you really think
this is gonna be a Competition, I'm gonna shock
you guys Drake may is gonna go off. Oh, you're
not the fondest revenge game I'm fucking taking
the Patriots this week doing it. I'm doing it.
I'm doing it I'm calling it now Sunday night
prime time Drake may gonna show The AFC East
what the fuck is good. He's been playing so good
I'm taking New England. I don't know if I can
get on board with that one, man. Bill's for me.
You stole my thunder, Brandon. Honestly, if you
look at the numbers for Josh Allen and Drake
May, they're pretty similar. I think they're
within like 10 passing yards of each other for
the season. Same number of touchdowns throwing.
My completion percentage is almost identical.
Pretty wild statistics. I think Drake may is
underrated Stefan Degs is his best receiver had
his best game last week. I think the Patriots
go into Buffalo. I think they beat Buffalo I
Had to do it I think I think it's just I Don't
know Who knows if Gonzalez comes back to that
could give New England's defense a huge boost
as well We'll kind of see but I Think New England
has a chance to kind of put the put the league
on notice and even if if they lose I'm okay with
it because it is Buffalo and I think Buffalo
is gonna go on a run to the Super Bowl if they
I was going to say because it's Buffalo and they'll
choke in the first round. But no, I think I think
this is a huge kickstart. New England's schedule
over the next few weeks is pretty favorable for
like next month and a half after this game. But
I could very well see if New England wins this
game when in the next six. I think Matt, calling
it now. I think next week we'll have to get a
count on how we're doing on this, but I love
it, man. I hope that happens. I have no stake
in any of those games, so let's go. Special guest
pick. Come here. Come here. We're gonna bring
him in here. Theo's got his thoughts. Theo's
thoughts. I gotta... Alright. Theo. Come here.
Come sit up here, bud. You're gonna let everyone
know. Alright, do all three, Theo. What? Hold
on. Let me give you the headset. Or the headphones.
Alright. Are you able to hear me? Yeah. Okay.
Can you hear me, bubba? Yeah. Cody, ask them.
Alright. Buccaneers or Seahawks? Fucking years.
Love it. Patriots or Bills? Bills. Ooh. Broncos

segment. If he's awake and he's awake at this
part of the show, I'm going to grab him and he
