And then I tried 145 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.360 to play in basement leagues, and I realized that people 146 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.240 should keep basements to themselves. 147 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.040 So you know, that's that's basically. 148 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:04.639 But yes, most everyone has a most everyone has a 149 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.439 jump on me in fantasy football, and the results prove it. 150 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:15.120 The National Contest for me didn't start to w cooff 151 00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:18.199 in the early two thousands, so like we're looking at 152 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.480 like the better part of twenty plus years or whatever 153 00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:20.800 for me. 154 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:22.680 But I can. 155 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:28.480 Reassure you rac whatever you're getting tonight, it's it's and 156 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.879 whenever you're getting Every time you tune in to the 157 00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:34.360 ff PC YouTube channel, you are getting a lot of 158 00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:38.000 wealth of experience, not only from Pharaoh, for myself and 159 00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.919 whatever guests we have on like tonight when we have 160 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.159 Ryan Bush, come on, who is leading the FFPC main event? 161 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.639 A couple of questions right out off the top.

He is being thwarted by Najie Harris, 194 00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.159 Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman right now. So I think 195 00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:28.840 there's lots of dislike about Marie Hampton when you compare 196 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.919 him to eg Buka and Bucky Irving. So com I'm 197 00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:36.559 with my good buddy Farrell on this. It's it's it's 198 00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:40.120 it's it's an open up chuck case. We also have 199 00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:46.600 let's see here what okay, I want to go through. 200 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.679 I'm sorry, this is this is awful. All right, let's 201 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.440 let's move on. Not breaking news, is it bulky? No, 202 00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.600 there's no breaking news. We don't have any breaking news. 203 00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:57.679 But I just wanted to make sure I'm getting through 204 00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:00.120 all the good YouTube comments before we move on. 205 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.840 He's got a good comment, by the way. 206 00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:05.039 All right, here we go. We'll put Steve G's comment 207 00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:05.480 this way. 208 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.360 We can get the green Bay stuff out. 209 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.480 Early. Steve called me this week. He goes, you know 210 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:12.720 who the you know who the trending tight end is, 211 00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.480 you know who the sleeper tight end is. 212 00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:17.440 You know who everyone is forgiving. I gave him a 213 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:20.440 couple of answers they were far from correct, and he 214 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.840 goes Muskrave and I confirmed that by saying, you know 215 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.919 Steve Musgrave. When when Musgrave came into the league with 216 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.080 Craft and other tight ends, I thought he was the 217 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:32.000 primary talent. 218 00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.440 I love the player. 219 00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:33.559 Now. 220 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:35.399 The news this week is. 221 00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.519 Steve went out before the injury news and grabbed this 222 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.240 player everywhere, and so you know he does not have 223 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.360 a crystal ball of folks. 224 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.519 He just likes the player. So I'm gonna say this 225 00:11:47.639 --> 00:11:51.919 right now. For Steve g he had teased this last 226 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.559 week saying that he had the tight end stash of 227 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.519 the year that he was going to know it's tonight, 228 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.799 and he texted me about I don't know, seven or 229 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.399 eight hours ago to let me know that, hey, my 230 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:06.919 my tight end stash is not gonna hit the way 231 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.279 I thought it was because Tucker Craft sprained his knee 232 00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:13.879 or hurt his knee in practice on Thursday, but he 233 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.279 still was going to reveal it tonight, and he revealed 234 00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:23.159 it privately to me. We've publicly outed him that, Perrell, 235 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:26.879 I'm gonna ask you this right now. In regards to 236 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.679 Tucker Craft, Matt Lafleur spoke to the media today and 237 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:33.360 he said he doesn't think that Tucker Craft is going 238 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.840 to go on IR, which I mean it is good. 239 00:12:37.879 --> 00:12:40.320 But at the same time, we're looking at like whether 240 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.480 we can start Tucker Craft on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, 241 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:46.080 and it sounds like we can't because the first thing 242 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:48.240 Lafleur says, we don't think he's gonna go on IR. 243 00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:51.399 We can't count on him in week three. But what 244 00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:55.919 about Steve g the fantasy soprano zone. Luke Musgrave, the 245 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.639 guy who was picked in round two of the NFL 246 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.320 Draft ahead of Tucker Craft, who was picked in round three. 247 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.480 What do you make of Luke Musgrave this week in 248 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.519 the FFPC main event, the FFPC Big Gorilla? Is this 249 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.360 a guy that you I mean, we can take tight 250 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.759 end out of the equation, but what about flexing him out? Again? 251 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.960 We have no Jayden Reid this week, he's out. We 252 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.240 have Matthew Golden who could take a big step forward, 253 00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.559 but again he did not have any targets in last 254 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.600 week's game on Thursday night against the Washington Commanders. What 255 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:37.039 do you make of Luke Muskrave this week for FFPC players? Okay, well, 256 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:39.080 I like him as a tight end. I like him 257 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.440 as your emergency tight end. I like him better than 258 00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.399 some of the starting tight ends that are in the league, 259 00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.519 such as Schultz, such as Aughton. 260 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:53.960 Perhaps, But let's don't especially since we're not in waiver 261 00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.480 wire land or bye week land yet. 262 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.759 Let's let's don't go crazy. Let's don't flex him ow, 263 00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.919 just just let's just wait and see what happens. There's 264 00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:05.360 in balky, But that's my thought you are. 265 00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:08.960 More qualified to answer that question than anyone in the 266 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.039 fantasy football world because you you're there right with your 267 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.080 hand on the pulse of what's going. 268 00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:17.600 On in this situation. 269 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.679 And I would be somewhat careful with Craft as he 270 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.759 comes back. I would try to learn as much as 271 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:27.519 I can about the injury, because if you're winning and 272 00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.879 you have Craft, it's because you've been leaning on him. 273 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:33.720 And we all saw the game Monday night. The bright 274 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.399 spot of the Raiders was not as bright it was. 275 00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:40.840 It was dim and it was on low because Bowers 276 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.399 gainfully playing and he is a real gamer, as you say, 277 00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.159 Balky several times a night, a baller, but he was 278 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.279 not the same rock Bowers in the brace and trying 279 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:54.600 to play injury. And I admire players to play hurt, but. 280 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.559 In fantasy football we must be very cautious in that. 281 00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:01.360 My whole thing on this boker Craft thing. Number one, 282 00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.039 I'm rooting for him to be out. I don't want 283 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.679 to mess around with him being active and then potentially 284 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:11.080 having you know, ten, fifteen, maybe twenty snaps on offense. 285 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:14.080 I don't want that. So let's let's talk about what 286 00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:17.720 happens if he's out. I think Luke Musgrave becomes a 287 00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.759 back end flex in the FFPC. I think he can 288 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.399 be flexed out as your second flex, not as your primary, 289 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.399 not as your tight end. But I think there is 290 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.679 something to like there with Cleveland. At the same time, 291 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.200 I will echo what I've been saying from the last 292 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:37.240 six seven, eight plus months about the Packers passing game. 293 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:40.120 I don't know what's going to happen from a week 294 00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.679 to week basis. Some weeks it's going to be Dobbs, 295 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.320 some weeks it's going to be Craft. Some weeks it's 296 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:50.759 going to be you know, Watson or Red or gold Golden, Crafty, 297 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:53.000 any of these guys. And I think the fact that 298 00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.039 Craft and Reader out this week doesn't clear it up 299 00:15:56.080 --> 00:16:00.000 anymore for me. I know that the Cleveland Browns defense 300 00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.480 is really really good as far as the rush defense goes, 301 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.559 and it might be all quiet week from Jacobs. But 302 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.000 if you're looking at me and say, Balky Balkey, please 303 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:11.679 save me, what should I do with these Packers pass 304 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.600 catchers this week? I don't have a good answer for you. 305 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:17.159 I think Musgrave could be good. I think Golden could 306 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:20.360 be good. I think Dobbs could be good. But to 307 00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.159 ask me right now and say, like, which one is 308 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.679 gonna be good? 309 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:25.840 I have no idea, and you've been that You've been 310 00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.840 trying to answer that question all week. You can't answer it. 311 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:30.360 King all law season fair. 312 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.440 Yeah, they're all you know, hey man, they're screaming for 313 00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.679 Ryan Bush, right. 314 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.960 Ryan Bush is gonna join us in just a little bit. 315 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.440 He's a New Yorker. He is in New York. You 316 00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:42.720 determined what we got to ask him? Is he upstate? 317 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.000 Is the city? You know? I'm gonna look that up 318 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:47.039 right now. New Yorker can mean a lot of things. 319 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.039 I don't think he's New York City. But he will 320 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.080 join us in just a couple of minutes to let 321 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:54.519 us know for sure on this. Speaking of situations where 322 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:56.720 we can't make heads or tails out of him, no, 323 00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.840 let's go to the most Let's go to the Pacific 324 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:05.039 nor West. The Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Clint Kubiak said 325 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:08.680 the team is quote keeping finding ways to get end 326 00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:13.640 quote quote. Zach Charbonay and Kenneth Walker involved adding quote 327 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.960 and this is the worst thing that he could say. 328 00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:20.599 I see two starters. This, According to the athletic clin 329 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.319 clink Ubiev talking about the Seahawks backfield, I see two starters. 330 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:27.839 Mike McDonald, the head coach of the Seahawks, said that 331 00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:30.359 the plan is for each back to have a quote 332 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:35.079 ample opportunity on a weekly basis. Now, the weekly basis 333 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:37.599 may not happen this week. I did not see if 334 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:40.519 Zach Charbonay practice today, and I probably should have me 335 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:42.359 a call play on that, but I know he did 336 00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:45.200 not practice on Wednesday, he did not practice on Thursday. 337 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.920 And it's looking like it's going to be a big 338 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.559 Kenneth Walker week, which you don't need to watch the 339 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.880 show to tell to find out whether you should be 340 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:54.559 starting Kenneth Walker this week. If Sharbonay is out, you 341 00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.759 want to start Walker, But I'm telling you going forward, Farrell, 342 00:17:58.119 --> 00:18:00.680 is this just simply a guessing game whether it's going 343 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:02.720 to be a charbon A week, whether it's going to 344 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.440 be a Walker week, or can we glean anything from 345 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:08.759 what we've seen so far to know like, Okay, this 346 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.480 is the week to sit this guy, this is the 347 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.519 week to start this guy. What are you? What are 348 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.799 your feelings? Sort of on again, not this week necessarily 349 00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:19.279 because it looks like Charbonay is going to miss, but 350 00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:24.160 weekly going forward, can you glean anything about whether Walker 351 00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:25.799 or Charbonay is the correct start. 352 00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.440 I think what we saw from Ali Gordon and maybe 353 00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:31.079 Najie Harris is very much what we could see from 354 00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.640 the second running back, which is Charbonne. When Walker has 355 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:37.680 this opportunity to carry the load, and the fellows are 356 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.519 going and in the message and saying he's gonna he's 357 00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:43.000 gonna run wild. When he has an opportunity to do that, 358 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:45.160 he's going to show the talent that I've always seen 359 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.000 any and that I think the fantasy drafters saw. 360 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:50.640 In him this year. So I'm not too concerned. 361 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.960 From a fantasy football perspective about Charbonnet stealing Walker, but 362 00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:00.559 he is a contributor to that aspect the team though, 363 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.599 and one of the things that helps both situations. The 364 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.319 head coach wants to see two starters because he's going 365 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:08.240 to need to run the ball four hundred and fifty 366 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.359 times to win in that division. He's not going to 367 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.279 win through the air, so he's going to have to 368 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:15.519 have plenty of running games. There's enough to go around 369 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:20.599 to make Walker for Charbonnay to service the running game, 370 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.319 but for Walker to have comparable carries to the number 371 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:25.720 one backs around the league. 372 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.960 I think that as we go forward, and I don't 373 00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.400 think this is a bold prediction at all, Pharaoh, but 374 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:35.839 I think as we go forward, the Seahawks running game 375 00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:40.079 throughout not only September but October, November, December, it's going 376 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.480 to be something that we will be looking not forward to, 377 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:45.519 but it's going to be something that we will be 378 00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:49.319 looking at trying to figure out what's the best way 379 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:52.480 to handle this situation for our big Gorilla, for our 380 00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.839 main event, for our Classic. We know whatever it is 381 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:58.000 with the FFPC right now, because I don't think we 382 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.640 have a good handle on it right now. Now you 383 00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:05.599 have made your notes and your thoughts clear on this, 384 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.039 and it's hard for me to disagree with that. But 385 00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:12.079 I also know that after this week, if Charbonnay is 386 00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:15.599 healthy for Week four, it's in disarray once again, and 387 00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:18.720 we will see what happens on that Ladies and gentlemen. 388 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.480 The FFPC main Event from the get go was in disarray. 389 00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:29.279 This guy has said bully to that thumbed his nose 390 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.799 in the general direction of every FFPC Main Event player. 391 00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:38.039 Because as we head into week three, this gentleman right 392 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.839 here is in first place overall in the driver's seat 393 00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:46.000 for the million dollars grand prize. One million dollar grand 394 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:48.440 prize is what this guy is looking at right now. 395 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.160 He is here to join us tonight.
