Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 4: Well, this is sort of a tip of hat to
Speaker 4: James Hicks and our beloved Scott Christian who bequeathed to me,
Speaker 4: Balky a most fabulous birthday present. Now I don't have
Speaker 4: to run solo with the show. I have my own

Speaker 1: He is.
Speaker 4: Kentucky based oinker with matching.
Speaker 1: Look at that. Look at the hair, gentleman, the hair

Speaker 4: This guy this this yeah, you it's but yeah, we're
Speaker 4: we're proud and we're thankful that Porky's keeps thinking of
Speaker 4: and keeps watching the show.
Speaker 1: It's great.
Speaker 4: And you were you know, you were saying that well
Speaker 4: you know me from that that that show you do
Speaker 4: in the middle of the week, which we see guys
Speaker 4: aren't listening to, so, you know, and that's kind of
Speaker 4: like Patrick Mahomes saying, you know me from Texas Tech.
Speaker 4: You know, it's just you know, Fulky, this is your thing, man,
Speaker 4: this is this is and you are such a beloved individual.
Speaker 4: I witnessed it prior to coming home last week, and
Speaker 4: I just can't quit talking about it enough. I wanted
Speaker 4: to spend a little time with.
Speaker 1: You out there.
Speaker 4: You were always working, you were podcasting, you were entering teams,
Speaker 4: you were making FFPC Las Vegas go for everyone there,
Speaker 4: and I'm still drinking to you, so thank you.
Speaker 1: Some of my favorite memories in Las Vegas where I
Speaker 1: go out there for the FFPC And granted I'm out
Speaker 1: there for what a week and a half or so,
Speaker 1: and for the first week I'm busy working. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm doing everything I can and I try to hook
Speaker 1: up with this And by the way, in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm going to have the opportunity to
Speaker 1: hang out with more players, more listeners, more viewers of
Speaker 1: the show, which I'm very excited about. But I will
Speaker 1: say this, one of the things I miss is hanging
Speaker 1: out with you, Farrell on your birthday, which we didn't
Speaker 1: get a chance to do this year because your birthday
Speaker 1: came after everybody was already on a Las Vegas. But
Speaker 1: because the calendar flips this year, we get a few
Speaker 1: more days out in Las Vegas. It's gonna be a
Speaker 1: baller time. I expect to have a great meal with you,
Speaker 1: maybe a couple of bourbons out in the desert with
Speaker 1: you on your birthday next year. I'm very excited for that.
Speaker 1: And time will tell on and the location will tell
Speaker 1: exactly where that's gonna happen. But it's gonna happen in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, my friend. You know, bulky.
Speaker 4: The years go by very very quickly, and sometimes we
Speaker 4: regret that.
Speaker 1: But it can't go by quickly enough for me to
Speaker 1: do what to just describe. So thank you very very much.
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. I'm glad you had a good one.
Speaker 1: Steve G hanging out with us tonight, he says, Farrell
Speaker 1: looks like a bag of money, Feryl, have you ever
Speaker 1: looked like a bag of money?
Speaker 4: Ah, like a bag before, but not of moneyg is
Speaker 4: Steve G is quite complimentary and a.
Speaker 1: Real gentleman RAYC says, how many years are you fell
Speaker 1: Have you Fellas been playing fantasy football?
Speaker 2: Beryl?
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is for you, but nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four, when I was still in high school, that
Speaker 1: was the first year I played fantasy football. So I'm
Speaker 1: coming up on my fourth decade here. What about you?
Speaker 1: You beat me to it because I didn't play. I
Speaker 1: did not play in basement leagues.
Speaker 4: My only fantasy football experience has been in contest, and
Speaker 4: I've been with the FFPC since day one, and prior
Speaker 4: to that, I was with those characters that were supplanted
Speaker 4: in the industry by the FFPC, and so all of
Speaker 4: my play came in Las Vegas. And then I tried
Speaker 4: to play in basement leagues, and I realized that people
Speaker 4: should keep basements to themselves.
Speaker 1: So you know, that's that's basically.
Speaker 4: But yes, most everyone has a most everyone has a
Speaker 4: jump on me in fantasy football, and the results prove it.
Speaker 1: The National Contest for me didn't start to w cooff
Speaker 1: in the early two thousands, so like we're looking at
Speaker 1: like the better part of twenty plus years or whatever
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: But I can.
Speaker 1: Reassure you rac whatever you're getting tonight, it's it's and
Speaker 1: whenever you're getting Every time you tune in to the
Speaker 1: ff PC YouTube channel, you are getting a lot of
Speaker 1: wealth of experience, not only from Pharaoh, for myself and
Speaker 1: whatever guests we have on like tonight when we have
Speaker 1: Ryan Bush, come on, who is leading the FFPC main event?
Speaker 1: A couple of questions right out off the top. We
Speaker 1: have Jeffrey Drake, chiming in Farrell, He's got Travis Etn
Speaker 1: He's got Alvin Kamara, he's got Jamar Chase, and he's
Speaker 1: got Xavier Worthy. Should he trade and Mecca Agbuka and
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving for Drake, London and Omar Hampton? Now I
Speaker 1: know this is hell. No, Oh, it's not a lot
Speaker 1: to take in. No, there's nothing there. Uhbuca and Bucky
Speaker 1: not only are superior players, they're youthful players.
Speaker 4: And they play for a team that has it together.
Speaker 4: This Tampa team's gonna win that division. They were the
Speaker 4: favorite to win that division.
Speaker 1: And the way they play for each other is what
Speaker 1: you look for in football.
Speaker 4: You should not get rid of those players. They are
Speaker 4: similar talents to some of the other players that have
Speaker 4: offered in the trade, but they're not in similar situations.
Speaker 4: Situational football alone makes them.
Speaker 1: The attractives too.
Speaker 4: You're drafted well, Jared, Joe, you you you've got you've
Speaker 4: got to learn how to stand prosperity.
Speaker 1: Son.
Speaker 4: You got to just sit back and enjoy it. You know,
Speaker 4: just just brak. The Drake is prosperous. You know, the
Speaker 4: Drake must be understood as a prosperous cat.
Speaker 1: We love the Drake.
Speaker 4: Love and who doesn't. Those guys behind you did, yeah they.
Speaker 1: Did, and and well say this right now, when you
Speaker 1: look at that, when you look at that trade, Jeffrey
Speaker 1: eg Buka is only going to go up from here.
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving has been crushing it so far. Drake London, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're getting him at a little bit of a discount.
Speaker 1: But o Marine Hampton, and we'll get into this throughout
Speaker 1: the show tonight. He is being thwarted by Najie Harris,
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman right now. So I think
Speaker 1: there's lots of dislike about Marie Hampton when you compare
Speaker 1: him to eg Buka and Bucky Irving. So com I'm
Speaker 1: with my good buddy Farrell on this. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's an open up chuck case. We also have
Speaker 1: let's see here what okay, I want to go through.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is this is awful. All right, let's
Speaker 1: let's move on. Not breaking news, is it bulky? No,
Speaker 1: there's no breaking news. We don't have any breaking news.
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to make sure I'm getting through
Speaker 1: all the good YouTube comments before we move on.
Speaker 4: He's got a good comment, by the way.
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. We'll put Steve G's comment
Speaker 1: this way.
Speaker 4: We can get the green Bay stuff out.
Speaker 1: Early. Steve called me this week. He goes, you know
Speaker 1: who the you know who the trending tight end is,
Speaker 1: you know who the sleeper tight end is.
Speaker 4: You know who everyone is forgiving. I gave him a
Speaker 4: couple of answers they were far from correct, and he
Speaker 4: goes Muskrave and I confirmed that by saying, you know
Speaker 4: Steve Musgrave. When when Musgrave came into the league with
Speaker 4: Craft and other tight ends, I thought he was the
Speaker 4: primary talent.
Speaker 1: I love the player.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The news this week is.
Speaker 4: Steve went out before the injury news and grabbed this
Speaker 4: player everywhere, and so you know he does not have
Speaker 4: a crystal ball of folks.
Speaker 1: He just likes the player. So I'm gonna say this
Speaker 1: right now. For Steve g he had teased this last
Speaker 1: week saying that he had the tight end stash of
Speaker 1: the year that he was going to know it's tonight,
Speaker 1: and he texted me about I don't know, seven or
Speaker 1: eight hours ago to let me know that, hey, my
Speaker 1: my tight end stash is not gonna hit the way
Speaker 1: I thought it was because Tucker Craft sprained his knee
Speaker 1: or hurt his knee in practice on Thursday, but he
Speaker 1: still was going to reveal it tonight, and he revealed
Speaker 1: it privately to me. We've publicly outed him that, Perrell,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this right now. In regards to
Speaker 1: Tucker Craft, Matt Lafleur spoke to the media today and
Speaker 1: he said he doesn't think that Tucker Craft is going
Speaker 1: to go on IR, which I mean it is good.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we're looking at like whether
Speaker 1: we can start Tucker Craft on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns,
Speaker 1: and it sounds like we can't because the first thing
Speaker 1: Lafleur says, we don't think he's gonna go on IR.
Speaker 1: We can't count on him in week three. But what
Speaker 1: about Steve g the fantasy soprano zone. Luke Musgrave, the
Speaker 1: guy who was picked in round two of the NFL
Speaker 1: Draft ahead of Tucker Craft, who was picked in round three.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Luke Musgrave this week in
Speaker 1: the FFPC main event, the FFPC Big Gorilla? Is this
Speaker 1: a guy that you I mean, we can take tight
Speaker 1: end out of the equation, but what about flexing him out? Again?
Speaker 1: We have no Jayden Reid this week, he's out. We
Speaker 1: have Matthew Golden who could take a big step forward,
Speaker 1: but again he did not have any targets in last
Speaker 1: week's game on Thursday night against the Washington Commanders. What
Speaker 1: do you make of Luke Muskrave this week for FFPC players? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I like him as a tight end. I like him
Speaker 1: as your emergency tight end. I like him better than
Speaker 1: some of the starting tight ends that are in the league,
Speaker 1: such as Schultz, such as Aughton.
Speaker 4: Perhaps, But let's don't especially since we're not in waiver
Speaker 4: wire land or bye week land yet.
Speaker 1: Let's let's don't go crazy. Let's don't flex him ow,
Speaker 1: just just let's just wait and see what happens. There's
Speaker 1: in balky, But that's my thought you are.
Speaker 4: More qualified to answer that question than anyone in the
Speaker 4: fantasy football world because you you're there right with your
Speaker 4: hand on the pulse of what's going.
Speaker 1: On in this situation.
Speaker 4: And I would be somewhat careful with Craft as he
Speaker 4: comes back. I would try to learn as much as
Speaker 4: I can about the injury, because if you're winning and
Speaker 4: you have Craft, it's because you've been leaning on him.
Speaker 4: And we all saw the game Monday night. The bright
Speaker 4: spot of the Raiders was not as bright it was.
Speaker 4: It was dim and it was on low because Bowers
Speaker 4: gainfully playing and he is a real gamer, as you say,
Speaker 4: Balky several times a night, a baller, but he was
Speaker 4: not the same rock Bowers in the brace and trying
Speaker 4: to play injury. And I admire players to play hurt, but.
Speaker 1: In fantasy football we must be very cautious in that.
Speaker 1: My whole thing on this boker Craft thing. Number one,
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for him to be out. I don't want
Speaker 1: to mess around with him being active and then potentially
Speaker 1: having you know, ten, fifteen, maybe twenty snaps on offense.
Speaker 1: I don't want that. So let's let's talk about what
Speaker 1: happens if he's out. I think Luke Musgrave becomes a
Speaker 1: back end flex in the FFPC. I think he can
Speaker 1: be flexed out as your second flex, not as your primary,
Speaker 1: not as your tight end. But I think there is
Speaker 1: something to like there with Cleveland. At the same time,
Speaker 1: I will echo what I've been saying from the last
Speaker 1: six seven, eight plus months about the Packers passing game.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen from a week
Speaker 1: to week basis. Some weeks it's going to be Dobbs,
Speaker 1: some weeks it's going to be Craft. Some weeks it's
Speaker 1: going to be you know, Watson or Red or gold Golden, Crafty,
Speaker 1: any of these guys. And I think the fact that
Speaker 1: Craft and Reader out this week doesn't clear it up
Speaker 1: anymore for me. I know that the Cleveland Browns defense
Speaker 1: is really really good as far as the rush defense goes,
Speaker 1: and it might be all quiet week from Jacobs. But
Speaker 1: if you're looking at me and say, Balky Balkey, please
Speaker 1: save me, what should I do with these Packers pass
Speaker 1: catchers this week? I don't have a good answer for you.
Speaker 1: I think Musgrave could be good. I think Golden could
Speaker 1: be good. I think Dobbs could be good. But to
Speaker 1: ask me right now and say, like, which one is
Speaker 1: gonna be good?
Speaker 4: I have no idea, and you've been that You've been
Speaker 4: trying to answer that question all week. You can't answer it.
Speaker 1: King all law season fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're all you know, hey man, they're screaming for
Speaker 4: Ryan Bush, right.
Speaker 1: Ryan Bush is gonna join us in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: He's a New Yorker. He is in New York. You
Speaker 1: determined what we got to ask him? Is he upstate?
Speaker 1: Is the city? You know? I'm gonna look that up
Speaker 1: right now. New Yorker can mean a lot of things.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's New York City. But he will
Speaker 1: join us in just a couple of minutes to let
Speaker 1: us know for sure on this. Speaking of situations where
Speaker 1: we can't make heads or tails out of him, no,
Speaker 1: let's go to the most Let's go to the Pacific
Speaker 1: nor West. The Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak said
Speaker 1: the team is quote keeping finding ways to get end
Speaker 1: quote quote. Zach Charbonay and Kenneth Walker involved adding quote
Speaker 1: and this is the worst thing that he could say.
Speaker 1: I see two starters. This, According to the athletic clin
Speaker 1: clink Ubiev talking about the Seahawks backfield, I see two starters.
Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, the head coach of the Seahawks, said that
Speaker 1: the plan is for each back to have a quote
Speaker 1: ample opportunity on a weekly basis. Now, the weekly basis
Speaker 1: may not happen this week. I did not see if
Speaker 1: Zach Charbonay practice today, and I probably should have me
Speaker 1: a call play on that, but I know he did
Speaker 1: not practice on Wednesday, he did not practice on Thursday.
Speaker 1: And it's looking like it's going to be a big
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker week, which you don't need to watch the
Speaker 1: show to tell to find out whether you should be
Speaker 1: starting Kenneth Walker this week. If Sharbonay is out, you
Speaker 1: want to start Walker, But I'm telling you going forward, Farrell,
Speaker 1: is this just simply a guessing game whether it's going
Speaker 1: to be a charbon A week, whether it's going to
Speaker 1: be a Walker week, or can we glean anything from
Speaker 1: what we've seen so far to know like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is the week to sit this guy, this is the
Speaker 1: week to start this guy. What are you? What are
Speaker 1: your feelings? Sort of on again, not this week necessarily
Speaker 1: because it looks like Charbonay is going to miss, but
Speaker 1: weekly going forward, can you glean anything about whether Walker
Speaker 1: or Charbonay is the correct start.
Speaker 4: I think what we saw from Ali Gordon and maybe
Speaker 4: Najie Harris is very much what we could see from
Speaker 4: the second running back, which is Charbonne. When Walker has
Speaker 4: this opportunity to carry the load, and the fellows are
Speaker 4: going and in the message and saying he's gonna he's
Speaker 4: gonna run wild. When he has an opportunity to do that,
Speaker 4: he's going to show the talent that I've always seen
Speaker 4: any and that I think the fantasy drafters saw.
Speaker 1: In him this year. So I'm not too concerned.
Speaker 4: From a fantasy football perspective about Charbonnet stealing Walker, but
Speaker 4: he is a contributor to that aspect the team though,
Speaker 4: and one of the things that helps both situations. The
Speaker 4: head coach wants to see two starters because he's going
Speaker 4: to need to run the ball four hundred and fifty
Speaker 4: times to win in that division. He's not going to
Speaker 4: win through the air, so he's going to have to
Speaker 4: have plenty of running games. There's enough to go around
Speaker 4: to make Walker for Charbonnay to service the running game,
Speaker 4: but for Walker to have comparable carries to the number
Speaker 4: one backs around the league.
Speaker 1: I think that as we go forward, and I don't
Speaker 1: think this is a bold prediction at all, Pharaoh, but
Speaker 1: I think as we go forward, the Seahawks running game
Speaker 1: throughout not only September but October, November, December, it's going
Speaker 1: to be something that we will be looking not forward to,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be something that we will be
Speaker 1: looking at trying to figure out what's the best way
Speaker 1: to handle this situation for our big Gorilla, for our
Speaker 1: main event, for our Classic. We know whatever it is
Speaker 1: with the FFPC right now, because I don't think we
Speaker 1: have a good handle on it right now. Now you
Speaker 1: have made your notes and your thoughts clear on this,
Speaker 1: and it's hard for me to disagree with that. But
Speaker 1: I also know that after this week, if Charbonnay is
Speaker 1: healthy for Week four, it's in disarray once again, and
Speaker 1: we will see what happens on that Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: The FFPC main Event from the get go was in disarray.
Speaker 1: This guy has said bully to that thumbed his nose
Speaker 1: in the general direction of every FFPC Main Event player.
Speaker 1: Because as we head into week three, this gentleman right
Speaker 1: here is in first place overall in the driver's seat
Speaker 1: for the million dollars grand prize. One million dollar grand
Speaker 1: prize is what this guy is looking at right now.
Speaker 1: He is here to join us tonight. You can connect
Speaker 1: with him on x right now at League seventy seven.
Speaker 1: He is in first place in the FFPC main event
Speaker 1: going into week three. Please welcome into the pro mister
Speaker 1: Ryan Bush. Ryan, Welcome into the program. Thanks so much
Speaker 1: for hanging out with us tonight. Congratulations on your early
Speaker 1: success and good evening. Thanks.
Speaker 2: I'm psyched to be here, and I would definitely put
Speaker 2: an emphasis on early with that. You know, it's a lot.
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be where I am for sure, but
Speaker 2: there's certainly a long long way to go.
Speaker 1: Did you when you because you have the two live
Speaker 1: main events right out in Las Vegas and I did
Speaker 1: did you ever think, like, you know, like you're in
Speaker 1: September nineteenth, you're being being interviewed as you are in
Speaker 1: the driver's seat for a million dollar grand prize. Did
Speaker 1: you think your team was this potent enough to be
Speaker 1: in this situation this early in the season.
Speaker 2: I mean, I really was psyched about the team I drafted.
Speaker 2: I definitely felt good about it. But you know that's
Speaker 2: like feeling like feeling good about like beating the eleven
Speaker 2: guys in my you know, in my league. Like that's
Speaker 2: what I'm you know, I'm thinking small, Like I wasn't
Speaker 2: expecting to see my name up there, but I'm you know,
Speaker 2: psyched about it for sure.
Speaker 1: How many years you've been coming to Las Vegas and.
Speaker 2: Playing right just as my second second year.
Speaker 1: I love that, man, you know, it's a.
Speaker 4: One of one of my one of my favorite feelings
Speaker 4: of the year is to walk away from a draft
Speaker 4: and monitor what I'm thinking. Sometimes I'm surprised during the season.
Speaker 1: But sometimes I'm not.
Speaker 4: The longer I play in it, the more I know
Speaker 4: about the futures of my team, the more I can
Speaker 4: trust that feeling. What did you think when you concluded
Speaker 4: the draft, took the picture of the draft board, took
Speaker 4: a look at it. You know, what do you think?
Speaker 4: What was your feelings when the draft in?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I really liked, like, I really like
Speaker 2: how how it fell. Like, Uh, you know, you get
Speaker 2: a lot of like a lot of drafts where you
Speaker 2: are hoping to get a guy and it always seems
Speaker 2: like someone nabs them before you get a chance to
Speaker 2: get your guy, and you have to take someone who's
Speaker 2: maybe your second choice, you know, or third choice. And
Speaker 2: with this one, it definitely did feel like when it
Speaker 2: came around to me, like the guy I wanted wasn't
Speaker 2: taken right before me. And I got a lot of
Speaker 2: guys that I I that I had targeted in other drafts,
Speaker 2: that I was targeting, you know, just this year that
Speaker 2: I really liked.
Speaker 4: So you're you're kind of holding your breath and then
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, the sigh of relief when you.
Speaker 5: Always, oh, well, it's a really good feeling. I did
Speaker 5: not experience that in Las Vegas in September. Now I'm
Speaker 5: glad you did, and I can see by your roster.
Speaker 5: I'm going to ask you some follow up questions about
Speaker 5: that because my last question now for Bulky Takes Away?
Speaker 5: What spot did you draft your most successful team from?
Speaker 2: Oh, you mean what spot was I in? I think
Speaker 2: I was four, I was three five.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, very good, so.
Speaker 2: So and I was bijon and like you know, there
Speaker 2: were other options, but like I kind of felt like
Speaker 2: this year was a year where you like to have
Speaker 2: that belcow back, and I felt like if I took him,
Speaker 2: i'd have a chance to get some really good white
Speaker 2: outs in the second third round. So when you know,
Speaker 2: when Bijeon was there, it was just like I was.
Speaker 2: I didn't really have much to think about. I was like,
Speaker 2: no ready, I was just nabbed him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So I want to follow up on that
Speaker 1: number one, Ryan, number two. I want to bring this
Speaker 1: up right now if I can find the proper YouTube
Speaker 1: comment on that, which I mean I may or may
Speaker 1: not be able to find here. Derek Bush some relation.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's my brother.
Speaker 1: So there you go, and I most on YouTube tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, I don't even want to hear there's
Speaker 2: a whole lot of you gotta you've got a real
Speaker 2: following here, brother, I'll.
Speaker 1: Tell you what. So, Ryan, So your brother Derek posts
Speaker 1: on YouTube tonight for all the people who are listening
Speaker 1: to this and not seeing this, his comment is, what
Speaker 1: about the deadweight Mark Khan you have to partner with?
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming Mark Kahan is sitting in first place
Speaker 1: with you in the FFPC made event. This was a
Speaker 1: guy that you drafted at least with this live in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas team that's sitting at first. I'm guessing he
Speaker 1: was your partner for both Live and Las Vegas teams.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's very true, so I, yeah, I do have
Speaker 2: to include him on this. So we Yeah, we partner
Speaker 2: up and nobody talks fantasy more than he and I
Speaker 2: just anyway, you know, even before we got into this.
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's my guy, and uh, he definitely deserves
Speaker 2: just as much credit as me.
Speaker 1: I say, the.
Speaker 4: Reference to mister Kahn and dead Waite, maybe the green
Speaker 4: eye of envy there, Balky from some of the other
Speaker 4: characters in the I think that's.
Speaker 1: What might be going on talking you and you have a.
Speaker 4: Question about Clam Yes, I do.
Speaker 1: Uh, and and and Ryan you kind of alluded to
Speaker 1: this and we can move on past it. But when
Speaker 1: it came to you at one oh five, b Jhon
Speaker 1: Robinson's out there, ceedee lamb is out there. Was it
Speaker 1: just the case of like you thinking that you'd be
Speaker 1: able to get some pretty serious wide receivers in round two,
Speaker 1: round three, round four and beyond it, like you looked
Speaker 1: at this Andre like, Okay, we have to take Robinson
Speaker 1: here and we'll figure out the wide receiver thing later.
Speaker 1: But Robinson at the one oh five, this is a gift.
Speaker 1: How were you know, what was the thought process at
Speaker 1: one oh five there when you had Robinson Lamb and
Speaker 1: others staring you in the face.
Speaker 2: It's really exactly that. Like I I do love CD,
Speaker 2: like you know, I expect him to have a really
Speaker 2: good year. I could even see him beating wide receiver one,
Speaker 2: you know, with that Dallas offense. But yeah, for it
Speaker 2: was really it's a positional thing, you know, like I
Speaker 2: wanted that belcou running back, and like you said, I knew,
Speaker 2: like I mean, we ended up with you know, Pooka Nakua,
Speaker 2: Like I knew that there'd be guys like that that
Speaker 2: I could fill in my roster. There were a few
Speaker 2: receivers also that I kind of knew that I was
Speaker 2: targeting a little later that I thought could have big years.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was even though I liked CD a lot,
Speaker 2: it wasn't that hard of decision for me.
Speaker 4: I like that, I like that that's a good and
Speaker 4: Balky just satisfied some of the answers you might you
Speaker 4: might be able to inform. It's just what the chances are,
Speaker 4: what the percentile chances of even getting jon at at
Speaker 4: number five. And I will remind all of your envious
Speaker 4: cats that were you know, envy Fellaws is one of
Speaker 4: the is the only one of the seven Deadly sins
Speaker 4: that you get no enjoyment at all from, So you
Speaker 4: know you don't we don't want to have that envy.
Speaker 4: But I tell you something I'm envious of, and I
Speaker 4: can tell that you went and got your guys.
Speaker 1: I did not do enough of that in the draft
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 4: That's why I see that JSN, who is who has
Speaker 4: been a bargain pick for some was your third round pick.
Speaker 4: It does not matter you picked him over Adams, which
Speaker 4: I probably would not have, you picked him over Harrison,
Speaker 4: which I would have. You picked him over another couple
Speaker 4: of receivers that that I like, especially Wilson. But my
Speaker 4: question to you is did you see this level of
Speaker 4: production coming from Seattle, because because honestly, I didn't, And
Speaker 4: do you see it continuing because we we alluded to
Speaker 4: the power of this running game and that that's how
Speaker 4: this team is going to have to win. So there's
Speaker 4: a lot of questions there, But best of all, congratulations
Speaker 4: on picking that player.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, just on JSN, Like he's a guy that
Speaker 2: I definitely was targeting in a lot of my drafts.
Speaker 2: I believe I had him last year on one of
Speaker 2: my FFPC teams. I just felt like he is super
Speaker 2: talented and he just seemed ready to take on the
Speaker 2: wide receiver one mantle that he was being handed in Seattle.
Speaker 2: You know now that a who's what's his name from
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is gone? Who is their wide receiver one last year? Metcalf?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like with him gone, you know, yeah, I
Speaker 2: think he's just as talented as some of those other
Speaker 2: guys that I that I you know, passed up on.
Speaker 2: And now that he's the one there, I just I
Speaker 2: just yeah, I just really like I really like his game.
Speaker 2: I you know, I think he's just as good as
Speaker 2: any of some of those guys I passed, I mean Adams.
Speaker 2: I was a little concerned just because of the share
Speaker 2: with Pooka. I mean, Puka goes out and has fourteen
Speaker 2: catch d's like all the time.
Speaker 4: It's like crazy and problems So far, what's that It
Speaker 4: hasn't been a problem so no, And and.
Speaker 2: Like you know, I could look back in you know,
Speaker 2: later weeks and and think, you know, maybe I didn't
Speaker 2: pick the right guy. We'll have to see how how
Speaker 2: it bears out, but that was that was kind of
Speaker 2: the thing with Adams and like why we didn't you know,
Speaker 2: like him as much?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and Rubio comes in with a with a
Speaker 1: good comment here fellas, uh you know about the back
Speaker 1: and as people are talking about these injuries. Uh, you
Speaker 1: know you the way that that communication was going around
Speaker 1: the room in Las Vegas, it was like Stafford would
Speaker 1: never walk again. You know, That's that's how serious it was.
Speaker 4: And you know, I I give a tip of the
Speaker 4: hat to U drafters that I'm not sure who did here,
Speaker 4: but who took McCaffrey after all the words were out
Speaker 4: that he was not going to play or maybe not
Speaker 4: be available or what. And you know those guys, those
Speaker 4: guys know how to to take the best of a
Speaker 4: gamble and get the upside out of it.
Speaker 1: So it's congratulations to you.
Speaker 4: And and there's people like that that win, you know,
Speaker 4: it's people that know how to do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, McCaffrey's like a I mean, you know, he's he's
Speaker 2: a huge damble with a huge upside every year and
Speaker 2: a very big downside.
Speaker 1: So like.
Speaker 2: If I'm there, if I'm drafting in the nine spot
Speaker 2: or the ten spot, and he and he's there at
Speaker 2: that point like sometimes I'm like, I gotta roll the
Speaker 2: dice to do it, but I don't. He's not a
Speaker 2: top five guy anymore just because of the risk to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll bring this up right now, just to make
Speaker 1: it known, Dave Klugi from football Guys, there is nobody
Speaker 1: higher in the industry on Jackson Smith and Jigma than
Speaker 1: this guy heading into uh FFPC drafts this year, the
Speaker 1: final weekend of FFPC drafts, and my whole thing was
Speaker 1: as far as Smith and Jigba goes, which obviously has
Speaker 1: been awesome for you so far. Ryan, I was nervous
Speaker 1: about a offensive coordinator coming into Seattle who had a
Speaker 1: reputation for running the football replacing an offensive coordinator that
Speaker 1: had a reputation for throwing the football a lot. Right,
Speaker 1: That's why Ryan Grubb was fired because they didn't run
Speaker 1: the football enough. And that's what Mike McDonald parted ways.
Speaker 1: So then they bring in Clint Kubiak, who again has
Speaker 1: this reputation for running the ball, running the ball successfully.
Speaker 1: What I failed to realize, and Ryan, maybe you realize this,
Speaker 1: and I did not. The track record for Clint Kubiak,
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers is really really good, and that's
Speaker 1: what I missed on Smith and Jig. But I have
Speaker 1: him in a few spots this year, obviously not enough,
Speaker 1: but I think what he's done in the first two
Speaker 1: weeks is going to continue throughout not only the FFPC
Speaker 1: regular season, but the FFPC League playoffs and the FFPC
Speaker 1: Championship Round. So you are set up very very well
Speaker 1: in my opinion in that, Ryan, for sure, I want
Speaker 1: to float it back to Juvante Williams. I have a
Speaker 1: board here up on YouTube for anybody who's watching this.
Speaker 1: Ryan was drafting from the number five spot here tonight.
Speaker 1: H This was a draft that took place on Friday. Ryan,
Speaker 1: am I correct in saying this?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 1: Okay? So this was after the Cowboys Eagles game on
Speaker 1: Thursday night. You went ahead and took Javonte Williams at
Speaker 1: the seven zero five in this draft. Some would say
Speaker 1: what was aggressive, some would say it was wrong, but
Speaker 1: through two weeks it looks like an absolute bargain. When
Speaker 1: you were looking at this draft knowing that you had
Speaker 1: the free look, knowing that whatever Javonte Williams did in
Speaker 1: Week one, you could easily supplant him in your starting
Speaker 1: lineup with whatever running back, receiver, tight end that that
Speaker 1: you had drafted, knowing that you could put him in.
Speaker 1: How big of a target was Javonte Williams? And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: Ryan to piggyback on that, what do you think is
Speaker 1: going to happen for Williams the rest of the year
Speaker 1: after he kind of duplicated what he did in Week
Speaker 1: one in week two as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was exciting for sure. Yeah, we definitely uh
Speaker 2: probably took him earlier based off of that performance the
Speaker 2: night before, and it certainly worked out the previous year
Speaker 2: for if you remember, Saquon uh exploded the night the
Speaker 2: night before the drafts a lot of the drafts, and
Speaker 2: he ended up, you know, going way higher than I
Speaker 2: think like he would have if he hadn't had that day.
Speaker 2: I mean obviously different levels of backs and different levels
Speaker 2: of player, but like we did put some stock into
Speaker 2: the fact of, like, let's get a win out of
Speaker 2: the gate, Like, you know, he's in your lineup, eak one,
Speaker 2: let's let's you know, let's start strong and and then
Speaker 2: going forward, I mean someone's someone's got to eat in
Speaker 2: that backfield, and you know, a lot of these rookies
Speaker 2: get hyped up that are to me, and it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, they don't. They don't always pan out right away.
Speaker 4: It's it's all it's all blue. All they wanted to
Speaker 4: talk about all summer was blue. Williams was balky. You
Speaker 4: might have you got have been a potster on that.
Speaker 4: But when I look at this draft, right and once
Speaker 4: again I give you big kudles for what you're doing
Speaker 4: here because it's it's like the people you were drafting
Speaker 4: with believed everything they heard and didn't believe anything they saw.
Speaker 4: And and yes, Williams is is uh Williams. The thing
Speaker 4: I see about him that I love. He's on the
Speaker 4: field on third down, Uh yeah, and he's running to
Speaker 4: the second level better than a lot of running backs
Speaker 4: that I've seen in the league. So, with the danger
Speaker 4: of repeating myself, I just I don't get it, but
Speaker 4: I had in my situation, I was drafting Williams either
Speaker 4: around or two ahead of where you did.
Speaker 3: And to have.
Speaker 2: Right, Ryan Lean, it's also a heavy I mean, Dallas
Speaker 2: is going to put up points and someone's got to
Speaker 2: get those goal line carries, and he's a guy who
Speaker 2: can handle handle that.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't expect him to do what he's doing every week.
Speaker 1: But you don't know, No, don't I hope.
Speaker 2: I hope for sure. But you know, I we we
Speaker 2: we're excited to have him.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I guess so. So Ryan, let
Speaker 1: me ask you this. This is coming from Scott Hoyd.
Speaker 1: I posted it. Uh he's he's watching us on YouTube
Speaker 1: tonight and he has a question about your Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: wide receivers. You you guys obviously took Jackson Smith and
Speaker 1: jig Book here at the three oh five, but later
Speaker 1: on in the draft you also took Cooper Cup in
Speaker 1: the tenth round. Scott Hoyt wants to know what was
Speaker 1: your thoughts on drafting Cooper Cup when you already had
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and jig But did that come into the
Speaker 1: forefront of your mind when you decided to take Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup in the tenth round? Did it not make a
Speaker 1: difference at all? Can you just kind of give us
Speaker 1: the lay of the land, knowing that you had Smith
Speaker 1: a Jigba, and then in the tenth round you decided
Speaker 1: to take Cup as well.
Speaker 2: I'm usually not crazy about doing that. I don't love
Speaker 2: having the second guy when I have the first guy.
Speaker 2: It was really kind of a situation of like I
Speaker 2: really felt he was the best available guy, you know,
Speaker 2: just forgetting that I have JS. And it's just like
Speaker 2: I kind of felt like he slid pretty far down
Speaker 2: where I think we I think we let him go
Speaker 2: around ahead and we almost looked at him there and
Speaker 2: and by the time he was there and in the
Speaker 2: tenth round, I was just like, you know, he's the
Speaker 2: best guy on the board to me, and so I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take him.
Speaker 4: And I think that's I think that's brilliant decision in
Speaker 4: your process, especially when the fact that you look at
Speaker 4: the number one receiver there and he is quick, and
Speaker 4: he is flexible and he makes good feet moves.
Speaker 1: But how big is jsn Faulkey? What's the size on him?
Speaker 1: Oh you want to get his measurements? Yeah, yeah's expecting this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, buddy, I'll tell you curse.
Speaker 2: I think of him as a small guy, but like, yeah.
Speaker 4: Well he's he's he's lengthy, he's got long.
Speaker 1: Arms, but he's he's as as REESA fans character in
Speaker 1: The Replacements would say, he's Whitey Jackson's with a jig
Speaker 1: about six. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well then you know there's nothing wrong with that size
Speaker 4: for a number one receiver. I okay, I've been bragging
Speaker 4: on you. Now I can quit doing that because you
Speaker 4: in you went tight end. You took two of my favorites.
Speaker 4: You well know you took one of my favorite Titians
Speaker 4: and one of my least favorite Titians. I have I
Speaker 4: all summer long, especially on something called the pro versus Joe's.
Speaker 4: I had to fight the pros on drafting Goddard. It's
Speaker 4: not that I don't care for Goddard. There's a number
Speaker 4: of reasons why I don't why I like other tit
Speaker 4: Ends better. But availability is the greatest ability, and here
Speaker 4: he is unavailable again. But congratulations on picking up zach Ertz.
Speaker 4: Now you've got injury bug down there with a quarterback,
Speaker 4: and you've got a veteran quarterback rolling off the bench
Speaker 4: to try to make an effort here for the commanders,
Speaker 4: and a lot of other changes in the offense. You're
Speaker 4: happy with zach Ertz. You're gonna row with zach Ertz.
Speaker 4: I mean, I am your thoughts on Ertz, And if
Speaker 4: you want to defend your Goddard selection, I'll let you.
Speaker 1: And Ryan before you answer, I will just say that.
Speaker 1: A few hours ago, Dallas Goddard was listed as I
Speaker 1: don't think he's listed on the injury report at all.
Speaker 1: He is available this weekend against.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead. I think from what I hear too,
Speaker 2: I think he think he's gonna play. And to me, it's, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a tough decision, you know. I think I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have maybe I don't think we would have drafted god
Speaker 2: Her if we didn't have Hurts, but having Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 2: And our theory on the tight end is if you're
Speaker 2: not going to get one of those top two maybe
Speaker 2: three guys, then we wait, you know, and and let
Speaker 2: other people take a lot of those you know, mid
Speaker 2: tight ends, and there's guys you know that you get
Speaker 2: late that that they're just as good. I mean, look,
Speaker 2: you know, I I think Tucker Craft is a perfect example,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, like.
Speaker 4: These guys just going with.
Speaker 2: Got Her. But I think I think we had targeted
Speaker 2: We were like I we targeted her. H ERT's like,
Speaker 2: you know, I felt like going with God or you know,
Speaker 2: you got to get somebody else, you know, you know,
Speaker 2: you got to back them up with somebody. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I was surprised how Earth's fell in a lot of drafts.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he had something like eighty catches
Speaker 2: last year, and like he.
Speaker 1: Was in the sixties.
Speaker 2: But at sixty, okay, I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Real quick.
Speaker 2: I thought it was higher. But like, but he's if
Speaker 2: you compare him to a lot of the guys going
Speaker 2: in that range, I mean, he's on I think another level.
Speaker 2: And I don't I don't know why he kind of
Speaker 2: doesn't get the respects you know that that he should, right, Ryan.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this too, And and this is
Speaker 1: something I brought up with a lot of f FBC
Speaker 1: Live players that were drafting at the Horseshoe Convention Center. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, uh, Casino, the the rise of Dallas Goddard
Speaker 1: did not happen after that Thursday night game. You know,
Speaker 1: we we saw the plummet of aj Brown, we saw
Speaker 1: the plummet of DeVonta Smith, but Dallas Gotter Crost seven
Speaker 1: balls h that then opening weekend or that opening Thursday
Speaker 1: night game against Dallas, and he didn't really rise and
Speaker 1: drafts it all. Were you surprised at that? And the
Speaker 1: fact that he is active this week knowing that the
Speaker 1: Eagles have not really been throwing the ball a whole lot.
Speaker 1: And when they have, it's not been to A J. Brown,
Speaker 1: It's not been to de Vonta Smith. It's been to
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he you know, when he plays, he's
Speaker 2: he's consistent. I mean, he put you know, he he
Speaker 2: gets his catches. And I'm not too worried about Phillies offense.
Speaker 2: They'll they'll figure it out. I mean they'll, they'll, they'll
Speaker 2: start throwing the ball and uh yeah, as long as
Speaker 2: he's healthy and he's out there, he's gonna get he's
Speaker 2: gonna get his catches and he's gonna get in the
Speaker 2: end zone. And uh yeah. And and this week, you know,
Speaker 2: with it were Earth's it scares me with Jaden out,
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's a different situation. And that's why
Speaker 2: it's a tough decision. It wouldn't be if Jaden was playing.
Speaker 2: I would definitely one hundred percent no, we were gonna
Speaker 2: go with Earth. But it's it's now. It makes it,
Speaker 2: It makes it interesting, and I'm actually probably leaning God her.
Speaker 4: Make it interesting. That's exactly right. Let's get let's get
Speaker 4: you buying the bourbon on it or me buying the
Speaker 4: bourbon on it well next year run at h at
Speaker 4: the f f PC Live main event in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4: I'll take receptions and arts, and you may have receptions
Speaker 4: in God good, don't.
Speaker 1: Let me bring this. Let me bring this up right now.
Speaker 1: Adam Hahn, a long time viewer listener of this show, says,
Speaker 1: longtime smart guy, long time smart guy, Jalen and not
Speaker 1: in a bad way, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley are
Speaker 1: the only Fantasy relevant Eagles right now. Occasionally he's wrong,
Speaker 1: but for Permar ninety nine, also chiming in that Matthew
Speaker 1: Stafford is going to push Philly this week. Now, Ryan,
Speaker 1: if I was to pose this question to you, and
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring it up right now and give
Speaker 1: you some context on this game, which stinks that this
Speaker 1: is the one o'clock game. I thought this was going
Speaker 1: to be in the four o'clock window on Sunday. It's not.
Speaker 1: It's a one o'clock game. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: This total is at forty four and a half. The
Speaker 1: Eagles are at minus three and a half in this game.
Speaker 1: Rams and Eagles both coming in this game at two
Speaker 1: to zero. Am I on a bounds when I say that,
Speaker 1: we could see the Eagles passing game take a step
Speaker 1: forward in this game. We could see a potential shootout
Speaker 1: with Brown Smith, Nakua, DeVante Adams. We could see these
Speaker 1: guys trading blows back and forth. I feel like there
Speaker 1: is more than a non zero chance we see that.
Speaker 1: But our friends in the desert would say, we're probably not,
Speaker 1: as the total on this game is less than forty
Speaker 1: five right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is surprising. I mean, I guess they are
Speaker 2: two pretty good defenses, but like you know, yeah, game
Speaker 2: I mean, game script definitely comes into play. But you know,
Speaker 2: I I think it's a bold statement about hertz And
Speaker 2: and Saquon. But I do, I do understand like the sentiment,
Speaker 2: because like I'm not crazy about the Eagles wide receivers.
Speaker 2: Like you know, part of the reason I like jsn
Speaker 2: over aj Brown is just like you just never know
Speaker 2: who's gonna who's gonna, you know, pop off each week
Speaker 2: with them, So I do stay away from their receivers.
Speaker 2: So I do get what he's saying. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean I think that the Rams could you know, push
Speaker 2: push the Eagles and and you know kind of you know,
Speaker 2: light a fire and maybe start start that offense up.
Speaker 2: I can see that happening for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I defer to what you and Adams say there.
Speaker 4: Adam came out a little strong with it because I
Speaker 4: think those other players are relevant in an offense like this.
Speaker 4: But when you have a quarterback and a running back
Speaker 4: that dominates so much red zone activity, you're in a
Speaker 4: situation of your wide receivers and fantasy points being a
Speaker 4: bit discounted there. That's that's definitely well. Okay, let's let's
Speaker 4: keep it on the East coast. Since you, oh, real quick, Pharrell,
Speaker 4: I want to bring this up real quickly.
Speaker 1: This is something I found out and and maybe it's
Speaker 1: a nothing burger. Maybe it's something as no, it's We
Speaker 1: often do not break news on this show at ten
Speaker 1: to eleven Eastern time on Friday nights. Sometimes we do.
Speaker 1: This is not one of those times. If I look
Speaker 1: at touchdown passes on the year, we have Jared Goff
Speaker 1: and just touchdowns passes golf with six, Lamar Jackson with six,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has five, Aaron Rodgers has five. On the year.
Speaker 1: We scroll down, we see Jaden Daniels with three. We
Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson with his big week two with three,
Speaker 1: and we got to keep scrolling down and scrolling down.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones with two on this, Patrick Mahomes with two,
Speaker 1: We have to keep scrolling down, and we see that
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts Right now, ladies and gentlemen, zero point zero
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, you know, hold on, hold on. To quote
Speaker 1: Dean Wermer from Animal House, pat drunk and stupid is
Speaker 1: no way to go with life. Stick Hurts with Narry
Speaker 1: a touchdown pass I'm gonna leave this up to you
Speaker 1: right now, Ryan does Does Hurts finally crack in the
Speaker 1: touchdown passing category this weekend? Do we get this passing
Speaker 1: game on track with Hurts Brown Smith? I know you
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to it with the last question we asked,
Speaker 1: but just you're and I'm asking you this from like
Speaker 1: a selfish standpoint too, where I have to kind of
Speaker 1: figure out what I'm doing with my eels in my
Speaker 1: lineups this week? Does Hurts Brown and Smith? Do they
Speaker 1: get it going this week against the Rams or do
Speaker 1: I have to wait another week?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, to the point of him having
Speaker 2: zero passing touchdowns as a Hurtz owner, fancy owner, I
Speaker 2: don't care. Why would I care. I mean, yeah, he's
Speaker 2: guaranteed to run one in like practically it's like a
Speaker 2: weekly thing. You know, you want at least you know,
Speaker 2: you a lot of times too. Like if I'm a
Speaker 2: Saquan owner, then you know I don't like Hurts getting
Speaker 2: all these touchdowns. But like you know, yeah, as as
Speaker 2: an owner, like I drafted him for the touch push,
Speaker 2: not because he's throwing you know, zero touchdown brown.
Speaker 4: But he'll catch up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, eventually he's gonna you.
Speaker 4: Know, he's gonna catch up.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 4: Balky brought up some interesting things in that question, and
Speaker 4: in that I love the way you presented that, Balalky, Well,
Speaker 4: I would have done more of a shorthand kind of
Speaker 4: presentation in that, and I would just say that you
Speaker 4: know that Pittman has the same number of touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: And then that's how I would have presented that. And
Speaker 1: by the way, it's Ron Jaworski this year as well.
Speaker 1: It took to ten fifty two to get Pittman in here.
Speaker 4: You know, last week we did say, we did say,
Speaker 4: don't start Pittman, he'll get you maybe twelve, and he
Speaker 4: got eight and so we were right about that.
Speaker 1: But all summer long, Balkie.
Speaker 4: We said, Jared Goff playing at home, drafting like and
Speaker 4: play him at home, and it worked out.
Speaker 1: It worked out pretty good this last week.
Speaker 4: But now I've got something that all summer long they
Speaker 4: talked about and run I need your help with this.
Speaker 4: The running back situation down in Washington has been intriguing
Speaker 4: all year long, and now the beloved Austin Eckler, he's
Speaker 4: through for this year. Jacory Crosskey Merritt was all anyone
Speaker 4: could talk about until we got to Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: Another one of those rookies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, we got to Las Vegas, everybody
Speaker 1: talked and talked about him, and he earned the conversation
Speaker 1: because he was fantastic in camp and in preseason.
Speaker 4: He showed a lot of skills. He showed a lot
Speaker 4: of skills during the draft and evaluation process. What happened
Speaker 4: when we got to Las Vegas is balkey, do you
Speaker 4: have any numbers to support it? But he was going
Speaker 4: up the boards and then all of a sudden, he
Speaker 4: was going down the boards. I took advantage of that
Speaker 4: in some places. I think he's a real player. I
Speaker 4: think he's a real player, and I think he's going
Speaker 4: to be a very, very adequate to get better rookie
Speaker 4: fantasy running back for anyone that has him on their roster.
Speaker 4: He may not shine from day one, but he's going
Speaker 4: to get there. I like him in the past game.
Speaker 4: I like him in the rush game. Were you as
Speaker 4: high on this player or did you avoid this player
Speaker 4: throughout the drugs?
Speaker 2: I avoided him, I and not. It's not specifically him.
Speaker 2: I I just avoided the situation. I tried to. I
Speaker 2: actually did end up with Eckler, but yeah, I was
Speaker 2: certainly not targeting anyone in that backfield. It just scared
Speaker 2: me off. I didn't know where the touches were gonna be.
Speaker 2: I didn't know, you know, who was gonna who was
Speaker 2: gonna get what? So I I didn't. I didn't target him,
Speaker 2: even though I did hear a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of good things about him, and and now, like you know,
Speaker 2: I this week actually grabbed Chris Rodriguez off of the
Speaker 2: waiver wire because I kind of we we kind of
Speaker 2: like him now to you know, maybe step up and
Speaker 2: especially with goal line touches. I mean, he's he's a bruiser.
Speaker 2: You know, they don't they don't have anyone like him
Speaker 2: now on that on that roster. So but yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I stayed away, And but I think he'll be I
Speaker 2: I do think he's talented, and I think, like a
Speaker 2: lot of these rookies, he'll as the season goes on,
Speaker 2: he'll he'll get better, you know, and he'll he'll he'll
Speaker 2: be a good, good back. But I stayed away.
Speaker 1: And it's interesting the teams try to develop rookies to
Speaker 1: get them better in the league with with smaller rosters.
Speaker 1: It used to be that the rookies would hit the wall,
Speaker 1: you know, they run out of gas, poor conditioning, not
Speaker 1: necessarily ready for the NFL game. Uh, And there has
Speaker 1: been a significant change in that over the last few years. So, okay,
Speaker 1: I was just curious.
Speaker 4: I was trying to find you one rookie on this
Speaker 4: team that you would have been targeting that you just
Speaker 4: didn't grab.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well let me ask you this, Ryan, speaking
Speaker 1: of rookie running backs, there's been a lot of people
Speaker 1: that are pushing the panic button on Ashton Genty, on
Speaker 1: Omarion Hampton, on Trevon Henderson, and I don't know how
Speaker 1: you felt about these rookie running backs coming into the season.
Speaker 1: For me, it's way too early to say that these
Speaker 1: guys are bus It took for like, I think it
Speaker 1: was six quarters of NFL action before I saw people
Speaker 1: on x comparing Ashton Gent to Trent Richardson six quarters
Speaker 1: six quarters, That's all it took. And for me, I like, listen,
Speaker 1: you draft these rookie running backs, you have to exercise patients.
Speaker 1: This was an historic year for running backs in the
Speaker 1: class here, and I think that these guys are going
Speaker 1: to pay off. And when I drafted him, I didn't
Speaker 1: necessarily think that they'd be paying off in September or October.
Speaker 1: I drafted these guys for November. I drafted these guys
Speaker 1: for December. Is that the way that you're seeing this
Speaker 1: running back class as well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did think that that a couple of
Speaker 2: these a couple of these guys Genty and Hampton, I did.
Speaker 2: I thought they would get off to a better start.
Speaker 2: But uh, I'm not worried. I'm not worried about it yet,
Speaker 2: you know, And and I'm biased. I'm I'm an East
Speaker 2: Coast guy, but I've been a Raiders fan my whole life.
Speaker 2: Bo Jackson was my hero when I was a kid,
Speaker 2: and so I started rooting for them when I was young,
Speaker 2: and I you know, stuck with him now through you know,
Speaker 2: thick and thin, mostly thin, but uh yeah, so I
Speaker 2: you know, I I had hoped he would come out
Speaker 2: of the gates stronger, but yeah, and to not worried
Speaker 2: at all. Really, I mean, it's way too early for
Speaker 2: these guys to you know, to pass any judgment or
Speaker 2: decide what they're going to be.
Speaker 4: But it's not too late, Baulky to break out the chain.
Speaker 4: You know, Ryan said it from an early from an
Speaker 4: early time, the same way with me.
Speaker 1: Ryan is fantastic to see that. Uh.
Speaker 4: The one thing that we can say about cross Key
Speaker 4: Merritt is he now has you know, we started the
Speaker 4: show talking about, uh uh the Seattle running back situation,
Speaker 4: and at least in Washington, I think it's his backfield.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: We we saw Ali Gordon last night and Olie Gordon
Speaker 4: was very hot rookie that everybody wanted to draft, some
Speaker 4: some established drafters drafting him as high as eleventh and
Speaker 4: twelfth round. And and I really love what he does,
Speaker 4: you know, with the ball.
Speaker 1: But that's not going to be his backfield, you know,
Speaker 1: that's in Miami. So it's we'll just see what happens.
Speaker 1: It's pretty fascinating stuff.
Speaker 4: Look at him, he's got the beret on.
Speaker 1: Two. John Terry has already check commented, made this possibility
Speaker 1: for me. I put it on two weeks in a row.
Speaker 6: I knew John was in the chat room tonight, so
Speaker 6: I was gonna put my balky beret on in honor
Speaker 6: of the f f PC live events being held at
Speaker 6: Paris Casino in Las Vegas. So uh Balkey w Griswold
Speaker 6: chiming in on the show.
Speaker 1: So glad to be joined by one Ride Farrell. Listen,
Speaker 1: we are running out of time here, but we do
Speaker 1: have time for one final question for Ryan Bush, who
Speaker 1: is leading the f f PC main event heading into
Speaker 1: Week three. Ron I don't I don't.
Speaker 4: Think he can answer this question because he's not geared
Speaker 4: this way. But maybe you do have one.
Speaker 1: Maybe you do have one player.
Speaker 2: This isn't gonna be about Crosskey Merit again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we're still gonna talk about Yeah. I want
Speaker 4: to get a history. I want to see why the
Speaker 4: Raiders didn't drafting.
Speaker 1: Damn it. But I want to know a player that
Speaker 1: you just would not have a part of. I mean
Speaker 1: that player for me. We already talked about God it,
Speaker 1: I appreciate the player as a football player.
Speaker 4: Didn't want to have a part of the same thing
Speaker 4: with Kittle. Is there somebody that you didn't want to draft?
Speaker 4: And is there somebody that you had to have that
Speaker 4: you were sitting there and you were so surprised he was.
Speaker 1: Available to you. You you could.
Speaker 4: Hardly sit in your chair with screaming out his name. Well,
Speaker 4: those players part of your part of your makeup for
Speaker 4: this twenty twenty five draft.
Speaker 2: Definitely like the guy I didn't really want a part
Speaker 2: of DK Metcalf. Are really like that whole Steeler situation
Speaker 2: that to me, it was like I avoided it like
Speaker 2: the plague. And you know, I just I don't think
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has a lot left I you know, I
Speaker 2: don't like the drama that he brings. I just don't know.
Speaker 2: I feel like, you don't know what's gonna happen. And
Speaker 2: and so yeah, that DK Metcalf really was one that
Speaker 2: I was just like, let him, let other guys take him.
Speaker 2: I you know, I think he's talented. I like the guy,
Speaker 2: but and I just don't like the situation that he's
Speaker 2: in as a as a number one receiver. So that
Speaker 2: was one I can't I'm not sure about, like, you know,
Speaker 2: a guy I I just was jumped. I mean j
Speaker 2: s n was really that guy, Like I like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was. He was our guy and we and we
Speaker 2: were gonna get him if we could, because I just
Speaker 2: really thought he was gonna make a big jump.
Speaker 1: And and and and the other thing to to keep
Speaker 1: in mind here and and I mentioned I think I
Speaker 1: mentioned this at the top of the show. Smith and
Speaker 1: Jigba was a guy that I was drafting early, like
Speaker 1: in February and March and April, May, June, whatever. And
Speaker 1: I got scared of by the pundits out there telling
Speaker 1: me that, look, no Ryan Grubb there anymore, which means
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnay show,
Speaker 1: which it kind of has been. At the same time,
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba is like what top five, top six,
Speaker 1: top seven in the NFL and Fantasy points right now,
Speaker 1: And I'm kind of ticked off that I didn't draft
Speaker 1: more of him, you know as the season went on,
Speaker 1: Well you didn't play enough Bulky in Kentucky. That's yes,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm what I am right now. Farrell
Speaker 1: I'm a wish I had I wish I had drafted
Speaker 1: more Jackson Smith than Jigba, and now here I am
Speaker 1: stuck in like my three shares or four shares of
Speaker 1: JSN or whatever. You know what it's when I could
Speaker 1: be Ryan Bush, who is sitting coming into week three
Speaker 1: a Top the FFPC Main Event with Jackson Smith and
Speaker 1: Jigba in the third round. Ryan, we will continue to
Speaker 1: follow you on x at League League seventy seven, and
Speaker 1: we will continue to follow your exploits a Top the
Speaker 1: f FPC Main Event leader board. This is fun, man,
Speaker 1: Like I like we uh Scott Hoite trend in. You know,
Speaker 1: It's it's fun to be up there at the top
Speaker 1: in week three. Hopefully you're there at the end. Still,
Speaker 1: this is kind of trippy, right when you think about,
Speaker 1: you know, two three four thousand people in this FFPC
Speaker 1: Main Event and heading into week three you see your
Speaker 1: name a top that list.
Speaker 2: That's gotta be awesome, man, it's it is. It's really cool.
Speaker 2: It was like, I was really surprised when I saw
Speaker 2: it in week one that we were up there, we
Speaker 2: were close to the top, and then to move into
Speaker 2: the top spot. Yeah, even if it's early. It's it's
Speaker 2: really cool and uh, you know, especially too, like only
Speaker 2: being our second year in the FFPC, but like I
Speaker 2: we love it, like I plan on being in it,
Speaker 2: you know, as a long time, and it's really cool.
Speaker 2: It's a really it's a really cool thing. We love
Speaker 2: the live draft part of it. I mean that's you know,
Speaker 2: that's part of the fun for us. And uh, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I appreciate what you guys are doing. It's it's great what.
Speaker 1: You're gonna do.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna be mister Bush, I'm just I'm gonna
Speaker 4: be mister I'm gonna be Yeah, you go, hang.
Speaker 1: On, ye silent partner exactly. Well, speaking of the silent Partner,
Speaker 1: Derek already saying we should have a weekly segment with
Speaker 1: Ryan on this show. Listen, I'm not a post to that.
Speaker 1: We'll see how this this show, this show goes. But
Speaker 1: I also have to ask Dom Gazetti pointing out here
Speaker 1: and he asked Derek about this, and Ryan, I'll ask
Speaker 1: you this on the air. How did you guys end
Speaker 1: up hearing about the f f PC.
Speaker 2: That was my partner And I can't say exactly how you.
Speaker 1: Heard, but uh, but he told you about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. He asked me if I wanted to do it,
Speaker 2: and I said absolutely, and uh, he's ah, he's a
Speaker 2: big gambler and he's got his finger on the pulse
Speaker 2: of all that everything that's going on. So yeah, he
Speaker 2: found it. I jumped at the chance, and we've just
Speaker 2: had a great time doing it the last couple of years.
Speaker 4: So contraw that stirs the dream.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I don't want to at all diminish his
Speaker 2: role because we're equal partners and even though I'm on
Speaker 2: here tonight, he does a lot. So there you go,
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: This is the gentleman who is the leader of the
Speaker 1: lead team in the FFPC main event heading into week three.
Speaker 1: His name is Ryan Bush. You can follow him on
Speaker 1: x at League seventy seven. Ryan, thanks so much for
Speaker 1: hanging out with us tonight. I know we kept you
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but this is good stuff. Ferrell's oinker,
Speaker 1: my aincher. Give you kudos to you with everything you
Speaker 1: accomplished this season, and if all goes according to plan,
Speaker 1: we'll have you back on at the back end of
Speaker 1: December early January when you're holding that big fat million
Speaker 1: dollar check. Thank you so much for coming on tonight
Speaker 1: and enjoy week three.
Speaker 2: My friend, yep, appreciate it. It was awesome. Thank you,
Speaker 2: you got it.
Speaker 1: That is Ryan Bush at League seventy seven on X
Speaker 1: Lady and Gentlemen, the leader in the FFPC main event
Speaker 1: heading into week three. Good stuff from him. Farrell, Ryan
Speaker 1: Bush tonight, joining the show tonight. I want to get
Speaker 1: into a few start sick questions. Okay, with that quick,
Speaker 1: we'll go rapid fire in this James in Philadelphia, JK
Speaker 1: Dobbins or David Montgomery of course, this week JK Dobbins
Speaker 1: is at his old team. This is the JK Dobbins
Speaker 1: revenge game. JK Dobbins at the Chargers, or you could
Speaker 1: start David Montgomery at the Ravens. This is Monday Night
Speaker 1: football this week.
Speaker 4: I don't want anything to do with the Ravens defense
Speaker 4: trying to play against that. Let's let's let's work the
Speaker 4: revenge game and let's see the Chargers Denver work out.
Speaker 1: So you're going this seems like open and shut for you.
Speaker 1: I had to think about this one. Yeah, okay, well
Speaker 1: I came to the same conclusion as you for what
Speaker 1: it was. But it wasn't wasn't that easy. But Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm playing Dobbins here, Andy in Bizmarck, North Dakota, one
Speaker 1: of the Dakota's here chiming in and he wants to
Speaker 1: know Ricky Pearsall or Wandale Robinson now to give you
Speaker 1: a little bit of background on what's going on here.
Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson had an a dot that he hasn't seen
Speaker 1: since his collegiate days at the University of Kentucky with
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just absolutely blowing up in week two. And
Speaker 1: then you have Ricky Pearsall who is healthy and Juwan
Speaker 1: Jennings is not. But Juwan Jennings was not healthy coming
Speaker 1: into week two and he led the Niners in targets
Speaker 1: in week two. Week Ricky Pearsall had like I want
Speaker 1: to say, like four for about forty seven fifty something
Speaker 1: like that. He didn't blow up last week. So, Farrell,
Speaker 1: would you be following and riding this crest of a
Speaker 1: wave with Wandale Robinson right now or would you play
Speaker 1: be playing Ricky Pearsall. I'm gonna be a Ricky Pearsall
Speaker 1: guy here, easy, piersoll over Wandale Easy. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. Maybe you're seeing stuff like way faster
Speaker 1: than I am, and you're coming to it again. I
Speaker 1: think it's Pearsall, but I lean towards Pearsall. I could
Speaker 1: easily see Wandale Robinson having a big game again against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. I lean towards Pearsall.
Speaker 1: Farrell is heavily in favor of Ricky Pearsall here, So
Speaker 1: I guess that's the way that we will roll with
Speaker 1: it tonight. Dan in Bohemia and New York, Mark Andrews
Speaker 1: the corpse of Mark Andrews or Jatavian Sanders. Farrell an
Speaker 1: up and comer in the FFPC. In Fantasy football Football
Speaker 1: in general, I think that guy Jatavian Sanders has seen
Speaker 1: the better part. I don't think he's seen fifteen targets
Speaker 1: so far, but it's been very, very close to fifteen
Speaker 1: targets for Jatamian Sanders and Mark Andrews with one catch
Speaker 1: in week one, one catch in week two. If you
Speaker 1: are in the FFPC tight end premium scoring, are you
Speaker 1: sitting Mark Andrews in favor of Jatavian Sanders right now?
Speaker 4: If you have Jatavian Sanders on your roster, you've probably
Speaker 4: rostered him before. He's a player that you've invested time
Speaker 4: in and he just came out the best game of
Speaker 4: his career. You're gonna play Sanders here and you're gonna
Speaker 4: wait to see it from Andrews, and I hope we
Speaker 4: see it soon.
Speaker 1: From Andrews. The chatter we get into the YouTube chat
Speaker 1: from Permar y nine, neither pick up Luke Muskrave, and.
Speaker 4: We would have to he says, I don't believe Permar
Speaker 4: plays in the contest.
Speaker 1: We would have to let him.
Speaker 4: Know that that that Steven g has already picked up
Speaker 4: Muskrave in every draft, so he's not available. Availability is
Speaker 4: the greatest famility, but you know, yeah, if you're in
Speaker 4: some basement league.
Speaker 1: Steve texted me today that he picked up Musgrave in
Speaker 1: like five leagues on Wednesday night, so he has dialed
Speaker 1: in on Musgrave right now. Permar ninety nine also wants
Speaker 1: us to talk about Don Tavian Wicks and Luke Musgrave. Listen.
Speaker 1: I'll let Ferrell talk about this in a second. But
Speaker 1: my feeling on this is, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 1: ready to start Musgrave this week unless I'm in a
Speaker 1: bad situation at tight end, like if I had George
Speaker 1: Kittle on my team and he went to IR week one,
Speaker 1: then yeah, I would look at Musgrave, But there are
Speaker 1: certainly plenty of other tight ends I would look at
Speaker 1: starting ahead of Musgrave this week, including but not limited to,
Speaker 1: Harold Tanner, Junior, Kyle Pitts, Jack Hockinson. I like all
Speaker 1: those guys better than Musgrave this week, but I think
Speaker 1: that in the right situation, Musgrave may pay off Farrell.
Speaker 1: What do you make of Dantavian Wicks for the Packers
Speaker 1: in Cleveland this week with no Jaden Reed, I just
Speaker 1: completely defer to you on all packs of questions. I
Speaker 1: stayed out of that wide receiver situation because it was
Speaker 1: too confusing to me and.
Speaker 4: Up Pine for Christian Watson to return. But you know,
Speaker 4: we also if you take a look at Thursday nights game,
Speaker 4: when you have a quarterback that can go through his
Speaker 4: progressions and hit eight, nine, ten different receivers and then
Speaker 4: make plays with his.
Speaker 1: Feet and the ball what he did with the tight end.
Speaker 4: We you know, some of the greatest quarterbacks in this
Speaker 4: league aren't necessarily your greatest fantasy quarterbacks because they know
Speaker 4: how to move the ball around, and then you know
Speaker 4: they're not going to lead their receivers to one hundred
Speaker 4: catch games, whereas there's other quarterbacks that are going to.
Speaker 1: Gear in on certain type receivers.
Speaker 4: We might see a lot of that because we haven't
Speaker 4: talked about the quarterbacks that are coming off the bench
Speaker 4: to play this weekend, but we might see a lot
Speaker 4: of that. So, you know, if you've got a number
Speaker 4: one receiver like what you've got with Chase and Higgins
Speaker 4: at Cincinnati nationally, you're going to play that. You should
Speaker 4: play them without any hesitancy or any expectation of decline.
Speaker 4: Their game is going to look different. You know, Browning
Speaker 4: is going to get the ball out of his hand
Speaker 4: much much more quickly than Burrow will, and these guys
Speaker 4: are going to have to contribute with their feet after
Speaker 4: the catch instead of running the Greg Rouse before the catch.
Speaker 4: It will look different that the fantasy numbers may appear
Speaker 4: to be the same.
Speaker 1: Scott Hoyt wants to know where's Golden And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: point this out here, and Parrell, you said you defer
Speaker 1: to me on Packers stuff. Always. I believe that Golden
Speaker 1: makes a couple of big plays in this game against
Speaker 1: Glutland on Sunday and I might be hanging myself here
Speaker 1: when I say this, but I believe that Golden comes
Speaker 1: away with a stat line of like two for seventy
Speaker 1: three something like that and doesn't score. And when you're
Speaker 1: watching that game at one pm on Sunday, you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, Golden, here we go, and you're very excited
Speaker 1: for it. But when the game ends and you're like, God,
Speaker 1: that the Packers only put up twenty two points. Josh
Speaker 1: Jacob's gotten in the end zone, you know, Luke Musgrave
Speaker 1: got in the end zone, or Sabian Williams or some
Speaker 1: random person, and you're like, like, why didn't Golden score.
Speaker 1: I think that that is part of the course. I
Speaker 1: think that Golden over the next few weeks with Jayden
Speaker 1: Reid out and maybe Tucker Craft out over the next
Speaker 1: few weeks. We don't know about that for sure, but
Speaker 1: it's certainly a non zero chance of it happening. We
Speaker 1: could see something right away in week two. I'm not
Speaker 1: seeing it. That's just my personal opinion. Could be wrong
Speaker 1: on this and per Mar ninety nine chiming in coach
Speaker 1: loves the Coach loves Doan Tavian Wicks he's the best
Speaker 1: blocker on the team. He I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: the best blocker on the team, but he's right up there.
Speaker 1: He might be the best blocker on the team. He's
Speaker 1: certainly one of the best blockers on the Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers right now. So that's something to think about as well.
Speaker 1: A final question here, Farrell and got Less Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: We have not talked about him a lot on the
Speaker 1: show tonight, but I'll throw this out there to you
Speaker 1: to try to figure out what we're doing with Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: This question from Ricky in Bakersfield, California. Daniel Jones or
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? Who is going up against the San Francisco
Speaker 1: forty nine ers this week in that four o'clock PM
Speaker 1: Eastern time window. Oh, good news. You're gonna lend.
Speaker 4: You're gonna lean into Daniel Jones and ride that way.
Speaker 1: You are, Yes, it's easy. Why why is it? Why
Speaker 1: is it so easy for Jones over Murray this week?
Speaker 1: For you? Have you got to watch the games, book.
Speaker 1: I have been watching the games, Mike.
Speaker 4: They haven't awakened the punter yet. And you know there's
Speaker 4: a certain receiver it's available to Jones that you know
Speaker 4: makes everything work.
Speaker 1: But my concern with Daniel Jones. And I brought this
Speaker 1: up last night when I was on the Better Sports
Speaker 1: Network with Nate Polebolt from Optimus Fantasy. I said, listen,
Speaker 1: Daniel joneses been crazy good these first two weeks, but
Speaker 1: what happens if he throws for one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: yards no touchdowns and two picks or whatever I said
Speaker 1: on the show last night. And then you're like, God,
Speaker 1: why would I ever start Daniel Jones over Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: over you know any of these guys Jordan Love or
Speaker 1: or you know, you know, any of these players that
Speaker 1: are that are you know, roughly ranked around the same
Speaker 1: level as as as as Daniel Jones. This week, Jared Goff,
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, you know, Bo Nicks is another one too.
Speaker 1: And there I can't remember who brought this up. I
Speaker 1: was listening to some show this week that that talked
Speaker 1: about all these teams that got off to these fast
Speaker 1: two and oh starts that inevitably folded or what what
Speaker 1: have you, And I'm like, God, that sounds a lot
Speaker 1: like Daniel Jones. I could totally see it happening with
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, but Bah, you do not see it this
Speaker 1: way you see Daniel Jones going into Tennessee and putting
Speaker 1: up a big game this week, a game that's that's
Speaker 1: well worthy of being started in single quarterback leagues and
Speaker 1: the FFPC main event and the big GERRILA.
Speaker 4: Yes, and many for many reasons which we're running out
Speaker 4: of time that I can't listen to you, but I.
Speaker 1: I can go back to.
Speaker 4: I can go back to third year Troy Aigman, who
Speaker 4: looked nothing like first and second year Troy Aigman. But boy,
Speaker 4: you know what, sometimes that light comes on. It's a
Speaker 4: perfect situation, the perfect marriage for this player.
Speaker 1: Look, it's if you have Daniel Jones on your team.
Speaker 4: You went against you went against the grain anyway, and
Speaker 4: there was a reason.
Speaker 1: You picked this player. So now you're being rewarded. And
Speaker 1: you probably didn't play him week one. No, you may
Speaker 1: not have played in week two, but I would definitely
Speaker 1: play him in front of her. That will complete our emails.
Speaker 1: Thank you for all the emails sent to High Stakes
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football at gmail dot com. KFFSC dot com is
Speaker 1: where to go to check out the Kentucky Fantasy Football
Speaker 1: State Championship. Farrell Elliott joining us tonight. You can connect
Speaker 1: with him on x as well as Instagram at Jfarrell.
