Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Oh, welcome in. Tuesday, September 15th. Somebody in this office is glowing.
I did not think Mike could be here. I, I, you didn't ascend. You did not. I just assumed you were no longer on this planet.
Brother, I did.
So you just, yeah, you just came back across the table.
Kinbone brothers.
These 2 kinbone walkers.
Oh baby.
Also, what is this Andy on the kinbone walker?
He's got him on League of Record.
I know why. I'm just saying it's not fair or true to nature.
Just with Gibbs and Josh Allen and CeeDee and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
It's not their time right now, Andy.
Listen, it took one game.
Ken Bonewalker.
It took one singular game.
Well, hold on. Against one of last year's elite defenses. You may continue.
Are they elite? I don't know.
They were.
I'm saying they were last year. Yes, I know. Now all of a sudden it's like, do you start running backs against them? But no, you can start this one against them. Kenneth Walker, 23 for 173, 2 touchdowns because one was technically a passing touchdown. Did you realize this? Oh yeah.
Yeah. It was the old-fashioned Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes. We just, we bowl it.
Did you see that on that play? Ken Walker said that was a Really tough one for him to learn how it worked because they were watching early 1900s football plays.
Yeah.
Early 1900s play.
Andy Reid said Chris Berman gave him that play. I mean, yeah, he said Chris Berman showed him that and he took it.
It's always funny because I'm like, when do you decide you're actually going to use these? And then when you use them, you kind of like expire them to a degree. But look, it was the Ken Walker—
No, you set it up so that they're watching for it and then you do something else.
It was the Ken Walker show.
Guys, he's good. He's good at football.
Well, look, this is, this is like, anybody in this room read the Lord of the Rings books? No, they're very long, right? They're long stories. It takes a long time for a payoff and things like that. I feel like the Ken Walker story is, it's like a 6-series book set and it had some ups and some downs and some all-arounds. And Mike, Mike's like, I'm going to keep reading. And we're like, I'm I don't know if you should keep reading. It doesn't seem like—
The 4th book was pretty slow.
The 4th book was slow and then some pages were torn out all over the place. And then, okay, it's a novelty. You win the MVP. But what is he coming back to the team to share with Charbonnet? Or is he going to the doldrums of some other franchise? Oh wait, Kansas City. Well, that should work.
And I love on the broadcast, they said what we all assumed, which was the reason he went there. Was not to win a Super Bowl, was not to— it was solely he wanted the opportunity to get all the work. Like, it basically was saying like, oh, why were you so good in the Super Bowl? Why were you so good in the playoffs? Because he got the opportunity and he wanted to go somewhere where he got the opportunity. Kansas City promised him the opportunity. Turns out—
375 rushing attempts seems realistic if he could stay healthy, which is really going to be tough.
Definitely yours, Andy.
I mean, I should be talking, Mike. You talk all you want.
I just, I love that. So we're in our Slack. The Ken Bone Brothers are celebrating.
Yes, the Bone Brothers.
As we just, I mean, how can you not be celebrating?
We should go out for like a Bone Brothers lunch. Yeah.
Bone broth.
Yeah.
To celebrate Ken Walker Day.
Going for the bourbon and bone.
Oh, very nice. Hashtag not sponsored.
Wings?
No, I just, the Slack from the haters of our office is just like, Yeah, but he's going to die. Oh, that's what, what, that's the, that's the thing. Oh no, my good player is getting too much work.
I will say this. The only hope that our league of record has with Gibbs and Walker—
Out of here with that nonsense.
Is simply that they're going to die. Your biggest problem, Andy, your legitimate biggest problem right now in our league, in our main league, is that your guys are getting too much work. Like, that's—
Oh, it's so good.
Do you know how much that sucks for the rest of us?
You know, there was this, we've had super teams in our league. our league before.
Oh man.
And the super teams, sometimes they come out in week 1 and they're just, you know, they underwhelm. That did not happen. No, no, it went as planned with a down week from Achane and a down week from, from DeVonta Smith.
Yeah. In our league, if you score 130, you should win. That's like our scoring format. That is a great week. You crossed 130 and 140 and then 150. Well, and then you thought you had an okay game and then you had Ken Bone Walker and then you went to what, 175-ish?
It was a delightful moment.
I need to get everybody else to give up. That's the real key.
I need them to just—
I think you did in week 1.
I think they need to retire. But this was— it was on the back. I mean, Ken Bone, unbelievable performance. It was also, in my opinion, unbelievable to see Mahomes able to, you know, to run the football a little bit to, you know, he didn't—
I didn't forget this one though.
He didn't even slide.
Oh, the pants store drop's not working, Jeremy.
On it.
I'm sorry.
Travis Kelce, 3 for 71. Look, Rashee Rice, thank goodness for the touchdown because it was 2 broken tackles, which by the way, Denver did not practice tackling this offseason.
They seemed like they had a little bit of issue on wrapping up.
Yeah. I don't know if there was like a, they distributed like Vaseline to everybody because Bo Nix couldn't hold on to the football and they couldn't hold on to the Chiefs. It was an embarrassing performance.
He did have an all-time podium quote though. He was asked.
Bo Nix?
Yes. Bo Nix was asked by a reporter, can you, can you walk us through the end zone interception? And he goes, yeah, I dropped, I dropped back to pass and I threw it to the other team.
It was like, that's super, super accurate.
I mean, he did walk you exactly through what happened.
The Broncos.
Yeah. There's hilariously 2 parts of this story. I mean, it also, and shout out, Emma Johnson looked awesome.
Let me finish one thing on the Chiefs real quick because I want you to talk about the Broncos. But I just want to say, Make no mistake, this is the recipe for the season for the Chiefs. It's not that Mahomes can't have bigger games, better games, whatever. The recipe was seen in this game. The recipe is run the football and be a dominant defensive force and then let Mahomes execute without mistakes. They don't have the wide receiver personnel to be a dominant passing team. I do not believe they do.
What are you talking about? You saw a super spry Travis Kelce in this game.
I mean, it's funny because Emmitt Johnson and Travis Kelce were the 2 leading receivers, neither a wide receiver. Xavier Worthy, 3 catches. Thornton, 0. Cyrus, 0. Worthy was the leader in total receptions at wide receiver. And then Rashee Rice, 2 catches.
I mean, I, man, it's one week, but I'm concerned about Rice.
Oh, Rice.
Your drop is fixed.
Oh.
Imagine owning pants right now. There was a point last night when I thought about making AI of pants exploding off of your body. I was just like, That was the pinnacle of your life.
Yeah. I don't think you've got anywhere to go but down now.
Last night, probably your wedding, maybe the birth of your kids.
Well, I mean, you forgot super duper champ night. That was probably—
that was better. So it's fantasy, fantasy, and then marriage and kids.
Yeah. I'm not worried. I'm not really concerned about that other stuff.
I would say that there is legitimate concern for Rashee Rice going forward. 2 targets with, you know, the Eric Bieniemy system in place. I was worried about like, how will they utilize him? have him be that kind of true possession receiver. And I don't think this is necessarily— I don't want to overreact to week 1. You go back, you check the tape. They won easily running the ball. So you didn't have to throw it much. But I did have a little bit of concern or worry coming into the game that they wouldn't use Rashee Rice the way that they have the last couple years, which has been so good for him.
Right.
I don't think that that has been good for the Kansas City Chiefs. It's not like a huge EPA play when it's successful enough, but it's like not explosive plays. You, I mean, there's a reason the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs last year. They weren't a great offense. And so, you know, TBD, he got a touchdown. I don't know if you use that as an opportunity to try to—
Matt has a question for you.
Flip him.
The Falcon, aka Poop Butt, wants to know, would you trade Rashee Rice for Parker Washington in a heartbeat. And I think I would sprint to the button in a heartbeat.
And I don't think you can get that done after that first week.
In any format.
Yeah.
In points per Rashee Rice leagues, I would still do it.
Mike, talk about the Broncos.
Okay. So my question was going to be, how long is Davis Webb calling plays for this team?
Totally. I can't believe he made it to quarter 4.
Because the next 5 weeks, J.K. Dobbins had 1 carry in the second quarter. Your main guy, like, and Harvey looked good. Like they were, I thought they used Harvey. You know, you have to get him in space. That my entire argument of why I like Dobbins over Harvey is that Dobbins is a better actual running back. Harvey is, Harvey has juice. He is a weapon that can be used in the correct way. But this is a defense and it should be a defense and run team now that we had— now that Dobbins is back to health. They did not. They completely abandoned the run. I think it was like 3 carries in the first quarter, 1 in the second. Then he had a couple or he at least 1 good carry in the second half. But it's like they, they kept throwing it over and over even though it was not working. The Chiefs knew what they were going to do. I mean, shout out to Pat Bryant. That was, that was pretty fun. He led the team in targets.
One catch for 2 yards for Jaylen Waddle.
Yeah. That's— they were—
how about—
they were broken.
How about Jacksonville, the Rams, the 49ers the next 3 weeks for Denver?
Yeah, it's tough. They've got a good defense and we've seen explosive offensive like performances last year. They were sparse though. They were, they were, you know, here and there they would blow up for 40 points. And then most weeks it was like they just did enough to squeak out a win. I did see Warren Sharp tweet out just a reminder of who the Broncos beat in 2025, which was Trey Lance, Chris Oladukan, Kenny Pickett, Geno Smith, Marcus Mariota, Geno Smith again, Davis Mills. Justin Fields, Jake Browning, Cam Ward. There was a list of not great offenses that they were playing. So I know we— I still do view the Broncos as a very top-end defense, but at least be open to potential, you know, incorrect thoughts.
It was so insane. They're like, hey, Bo Nix is playing real bad. Should we try and like get him on track with some, like, let's help him out with the run game. Like, no, we're just going to let Bo Nix keep looking terrible.
Yeah. And once you got down, you were stuck and it was, it was not good. It's one week. But, you know, through one week, the AFC title game contenders didn't look great.
Right.
So it'll be very interesting. We got more news. By the way, today's a waiver show. I didn't even say it at the top because I was too quick to get into the Ken Bone Walker moment for Mike. But waivers on today's show, news on today's show. I've got a little game I want to play with you guys because—
Is it called Ken Bonewalker or?
No, I think I know how—
Because the list is very small.
I think I know. Well, that'd be a fun game to play. We could do that actually.
Actually wild.
So it's like— After you can't overreact, but you must react.
It's like, okay, obviously you'd take Gibbs and Bijan.
Ken Bonewalker or?
Then the question starts.
Well, I think I'd take Jonathan Taylor over.
Okay.
I think I would take CMC.
Sure.
If you want to play bold.
I mean, it's, it is.
I mean, you're taking them over Achane.
Oh gosh.
You're taking them over Gentry.
We were before though.
I would. People are very excited for Gentry. I need to see him play not the Dolphins.
James Cook. I think that's a question.
I mean, Ken Walker got zero goal line opportunities last night.
Well, he got a target.
Oh, I mean, he got the target.
Yeah.
I just mean like you're going to have games where they're on the goal line and he's running the ball in and Mahomes, you know, ran one in. So let's talk some more news.
News and notes from around the league.
The last piece of information we got on Sam Darnold, a unique soft tissue injury. I saw, I heard glute this morning.
Oh, that is quite unique.
And expected to be short.
What is that, a galoot? I haven't seen one of those in a while.
Expected to be short term.
I don't eat bread, so I'm not worried about it.
Right, right, right. You're glute free.
Oh, switch.
Thank you, Mike. It was on the, it was on the, you know, on the bubble there.
Come on.
I liked it.
Guys, I don't even care what's happening today.
Arnold is looking like waivers, waivers. I've got Ken Bone Walker.
Week 4 return to play, which by the way, I did offer Mike Ken Walker for Christian McCaffrey. Oh wait.
No, it was, it was Bijan and the 2.11.
Oh, that's right.
That's what I'm like. Well, yeah, maybe that was a mistake. Maybe.
Darnold week 4 return. I'm, you know, Cardinals play the Seahawks this week. Cardinals play the Seahawks and Drew Lock this week.
Okay.
Jim Harbaugh.
The AFC West goes through Arizona.
It does.
And we're going to find out because it's in Arizona. Ladd McConkey day to day with the rib injury.
That's good news. So obviously he could put a flak jacket on, maybe play this week. The Chargers offense was running through him, granted poorly, but hopefully they figure that out.
Jesse Minter said Jacoby Lane will seek a second and third opinion. Why did they already presume they need a third?
Because they're like, wait, we already know that guy's going to agree.
We're going to see a kook and then a real doctor.
How many doctors until we tell them, hey, your wrist's totally fine?
And by the way, doctor 2, he loves doctor 1. He's just going to agree.
I mean, he fractured his wrist. That part is—
I mean, that part is conclusive.
Say Flowers day to day with the hamstring. That's optimistic news. Hopefully he is not going to. I mean, that's going to be in the back of your head for a few weeks until he gets through a game.
Yeah. I will say the expectation is he probably won't practice much this week. He will start and be active. It's just a worry of whether he reactivates.
I'm not sure. I don't, I don't, I think he might miss a week.
I mean, potentially that would be smart to just give him the time off. They did say that they left him questionable for a long time in that game.
They played the Saints.
And then at that point they decided the game was out of hand. They don't need to bring him back. They said if it was a playoff game, he would have played. have absolutely come back and played. So maybe they give him a week off just to be extra safe, but—
Would he have come back and played injured is the question.
Sure.
I mean, the re-aggravation is the risk.
We saw Jalen Coker, a report of him being in a walking boot after the game. We're like, oh my gosh, the leading wide receiver on the week, not expected to miss time. Rolled his ankle in the first quarter. The boot was precautionary.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
No, of course it's not. Otherwise everyone would be walking around.
It's very cautionary.
Everyone would be walking around in 2 boots. at all times. Look, I can't roll my ankle in these things. Like, it's not precautionary. Something happened where they put a boot on him. Thankfully, he said it was mild. He's not worried. He's going to play. But at the same time, it is not precautionary.
It's cautionary.
Yes.
Okay. We have Liam Cohen saying Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to play in week 2 against the Broncos. So avoided major injury there. Jordan Mason, sore thumb. Being evaluated. You know what, Jordan? Keep that one quiet.
Yeah.
Keep that one to yourself.
That's embarrassing, man.
Keep that one quiet.
I get it. If like, I mean, especially for a thumb.
It's not a broken thumb. It's a sore thumb. What'd you hammer? Were you like hammering the picture in the wall? Oh, I got my thumb.
It matters. You bruised them, Jason. Get it right.
If you're a running back and your dominant hand, like you have a Busted thumb.
Busted thumb sounds great, Mike. A sore thumb? Like, come on.
It's sticking out.
You know, jokes aside.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
If it's ball security, if it's stuff like that, you got it.
Yeah, because he plays Chicago.
Guess who returns to practice?
Oh, let's go.
Trevo back at practice.
Okay, that's good. They need him.
And they do. They need some weapons. Without AJ Brown, they looked like a team that had no one to do anything. Like Rhamondre was okay. And outside of Rhamondre, they didn't have a receiver or anyone else there that could do anything explosive.
Todd Monken says he anticipates Deshaun Watson starting for the Browns in week 2. And more repugnantly, he said there were some really good things on film.
Well, there was, there was a good thing. That one play was pretty good.
Yeah.
Mike is 100% correct.
I, I, I guess you're out.
Yeah. Deshaun Watson.
This one updated yet for him?
Start this week. Number 2.
Oh, nope. No.
Why?
How dare you? How dare you?
Wait, who's the new number 2?
Well, no, it's not been updated to number 2.
That was last year's.
We need Watson in there. But, uh, Dylan Sampson, significant time missed for the Browns. So 3rd down back, Dylan Sampson won't be there. And then Isaiah Pacheco underwent back surgery. He will miss 12 weeks. This was not the injury he missed time with, by the way, in preseason at all. That was a knee.
That is such a specific time. It's not like he'll miss like 10 to 14 weeks. That, and that's a long time from now to know exactly. He will miss 12 weeks, but he's basically done for the fantasy season, it seems like.
All right.
We are going to take a quick break and then I want to play a little game before we get into the waiver wire. All right, guys. I, I decided to do this on the way in.
All right.
I looked up the top 30 players in ADP, or as in the top 30 performing players by ADP order that had bad week 1s. And we're going to play a little game.
Okay. I want to play a game. All right.
I'm going to give you a name and you have a simple task at hand. You have to either respond with bounce back or buns. Okay.
Bounce back or buns.
It's bounce back or buns for week 1. Again, I did this on the way in. I didn't have a lot of time to workshop it, but it's a great name. You ready for this? Sure. Let's start. George Pickens, 4.3 fantasy points.
Bounce back.
Bounce back for sure.
All right.
I figured you'd say that. How about Davante Adams is 4.1 fantasy points? Bounce back or buns?
Bounce.
Bounce back. You said that quietly.
I did.
I'm wrong.
That's allowed. You can say it as loud as you want.
They didn't— the 1 of 7 times inside the 10 that he was on the field. What are you doing? Oh, bounce back. Okay.
Colson Loveland, 0 points.
Oh, bounce back.
He's fine.
I figured that would be the answer. How about Kyle Pitts is 0 points? Bounce back or buns?
Who's the quarterback?
I'll say buns because I never thought he was going to be great.
Okay.
But like if, if it were Tua or Michael Penix, as bad as we think they are, better on the one route where that Kyle Pitts actually got a target. I mean, that was a, that was like a 10-point play.
You think Tua wouldn't have underthrown him either?
No, I think he would have. I think he would have got him. I think he would have got him. It wasn't, it wasn't 20 yards down the field. I don't think it was close enough that Tua could be accurate.
Josh Downs, 4.7 fantasy points.
Buns. Oh, I think he's going to be okay. He was on the field. Like you were looking for usage and routes and stuff from Josh Downs.
But Pierce was on limited snaps and Keenan had work and scored more fantasy points.
Yeah.
Bounce back or buns, Mike?
Bouncy buns.
Bouncy buns.
I'm not sure I named this game correctly.
I will say he had 94% route participation, which is good, but 78% was in the slot, only 21% wide.
This is going to get harder. Okay. Marshawn Lloyd, 3.7 fantasy points.
Buns. No way. Buns.
I have to— that one I have to know who they play. And I'm not— my week 2 radar is not going yet. The Jets. It'll be better than last week.
Mike, he doesn't understand the game.
He doesn't want to—
I don't want to keep saying bounce back or buns, man.
That is the game. Well, Makai Lemon, 1 fantasy point.
Buns. Can you bounce?
Now he wants to say it. There's only one that you want to say.
Can you bounce back when you have never done anything yet?
Oh, he did something, Jason. He finished with negative yards.
I mean, literally, these are the 30 highest ranked names in terms of ADP before the season.
No, I'd go Buns there.
Terry McLaurin, 2.4 fantasy points.
Buns.
What?
Yeah. You're doing that to Terry?
I was preseason. I didn't— I don't think Terry's going to have a great season.
I think Brooks wants you to know, Mike, it's okay if you're wrong. It's just the game.
Well, I don't like to be wrong. Bounce back. I'm still in on Terry.
Rico Dowdle, 3.1 fantasy points.
Oh dude, I watched for today's Dynasty pod recording, which comes out tomorrow. I watched both Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. Okay. The assessment was the Pittsburgh Steelers offense was buns. It was, this was like when you saw the Warren production, like, well, I guess he was better. It was like, and he was, no, dude, it was just awful.
Also across the board.
Also when you're watching specifically 2 running backs and my biggest takeaway was like, good Lord, DK Metcalf was awful.
I told Andy yesterday that you were in the middle of watching this film and you were like, man, DK's bad.
You want to know what's wild is such a bad week for him. I think DK was the number one, like points below expected.
Yeah.
Like he, his expected fantasy points was like 19 points something.
They were throwing a ton.
I'm going to say Rico bounced back. He had a lot of snaps, targets, everything you need other than quality play.
I got 3 more names.
Okay. You ready?
Because I can't, I can't not bring these up. A bounce back or buns? Harold Fannon, 3.1 fantasy points.
Bounce back, but it won't be until Watson's gone.
Okay.
Buns.
Buns.
Oof.
You are, I mean, you're pretty buns all the way through on the Browns. Brown buns. Okay.
Easy.
Stop talking.
It, uh, it, Casey Concepcion is a huge part of the problem. Like he's going to operate. Well, but, but I'm saying where, where Concepcion's getting his targets and getting his work. I mean, Sanders could come back in and just be like, no, I love Harold Phanen. That's where I'm going to go.
He's a very good player. Number 2 more names. Jaylen Waddle, 0.7 fantasy points.
Oh, he'll be back.
Bounce back.
Bounce back for him. Let me see if I can give you a tough one to finish this out. Rashad White, 3.7 fantasy points.
Buns. Yeah.
That situation is weird. We didn't really highlight it. But Bill was like, Bill was the guy and he fumbled at the end of the game and then they just put the rookie in.
Kaytron Allen.
Yeah.
It was weird because this was, they were in the game.
Yeah.
It was very, very close.
They don't see Rashad White between the tackles. That's what that says.
Well, I'm saying like they were so fast. I know.
Kaytron, I mean, he kind of looked okay.
But it's like Bill was, Bill was playing okay as from what I gathered. I didn't rewatch the entire game.
I mean, it's a dream show if Mike gets to celebrate Ken Walker and then call Rashad White buns.
Yeah.
It's a pretty good show.
Yeah. I'm feeling great.
I'll talk some waivers.
Sure. Waiver Wire presented by T-Mobile.
All right. Well, this will be fun. By the way, if you go to the website, If you are a Foot Clan member, you get access to the ultimate dashboard. There are custom spot starts and waiver rankings for your specific leagues. So they're all customized to your league, to your scoring system. You can check those out here. Running backs. Do we have names? Do we got names?
We got a lot of backups.
I think the people will react to Kalen Black's performance on Thursday night.
Yes, they will. They will probably overreact, but I don't. think when it comes time to do the waiver wire rankings that you're really going to overreact too much. If you're on like a priority list, I would burn my priority on Kalen Black personally.
You would?
I would, because I think what he established is not— I don't expect him to do what he did week 1, which is be a flex with benefits. Like, I don't expect him to get enough work to where you're going to start him. No. But what he did do is show that he is that backup. He is capable. And should Christian McCaffrey go down, He's the guy that you want. I would put him as probably one of the most important guys to get.
But again, what's the fab amount for Kalen Black?
So I don't think that this—
If you have CMC and if you don't.
I don't think this week has the dump your fab type of player, which usually week 1 has it.
Right.
Hopefully we've got it in week 2. Right now I would say that I'm not going to burn too much. I, you know, if I was to go out there, I'd be like, 10 or 15 fab on, on Kalen Black. If I've got Christian McCaffrey, I'd probably spend up a little bit more just to protect my asset and get him.
Is he your number one running back pickup? Is it Kalen Black or are you looking towards, you know, Tyler Allgeier heavily involved, 17 carries for Arizona. Chris Rodriguez, the snaps were pretty decent.
The snaps were not right.
The work was not.
Yeah. I mean, to me, there were like, I think that there is not a guy. If you need to start someone this week, like, oh my gosh, I, I have nobody to start. Okay. Maybe you grab Tyler Allgeier. He's not, he's available in about a third of leagues, probably not out there for most people. I don't think there's really a guy you're going to start. Maybe George Helani because you have a touchdown opportunity. I know.
Gross. I'd much rather play Allgeier.
I didn't play Allgeier.
So to me, I'm focused on the bench. backups, the insurance backs. That's Kalen Black and Emmitt Johnson. Those 2 guys to me are— they both looked good. They're both on what could be good offenses. They both have historically fragile or, you know, commonly injured head starting running backs who are getting a ton of work. So yeah, Kalen Black for the 49ers and Emmitt Johnson, rookie for the Chiefs, are the 2 guys that I would prioritize.
I agree with that in terms of just pure backups. Braylon Allen should be mentioned. I like, I don't know if that's sticky that the 10 carries, 1 target. He did have a huge touchdown that got called back on a, I think a hold.
I think he would be very good if Breece was out.
Right. Well, I'm saying in this team, in this list, it's like the only guys I'm confident are Tyler Allgeier is going to get work. And then after that, looking at, I mean, we are, it's really just backups. I think that Braylon Allen probably gets the second most work of the guys we're talking about.
Yeah.
I think I'm on Jason's side of, I think Kalen Black was a, like, it's awesome to know that information, especially with Jordan James being a healthy scratch. I think it was more of the report of that McCaffrey's playing through cramps in the international game. So I think, I think CMC goes back to his very healthy workload. And even with the, I mean, 14 carries is like, if you had desperation played Kalen Black and you got that work, you're like, it didn't really turn out.
Yeah.
I think that the bigger—
He doesn't get high value touches.
It's rare in week 1 that the bigger pickups are not at running back. But I don't think that, I think right now what you're dealing with at the running back position is backups.
We didn't have injuries.
Which is— that's great.
I would make sure that people are aware of Amari DeMarcato. He's universally available. He's available across the league. There was a super late, you know, this is, I think it was the Thursday before kickoff.
No one knows what team he's on.
So Dallas Cowboys, who is— he is now the backup to Javonte.
Malik Davis got seriously hurt.
Yeah.
On the Thursday before kickoff, he was carted off. Seems like a long-term injury. So all of a sudden, Amari DeMarcato goes from a guy who wasn't on this roster a month ago to the number 1 backup.
Yeah. All right. You guys want to move on?
Yeah.
And also we do have, we have a lot more names on our list. You know, Tajé Spears split a lot of work, but he's on the Titans.
Yeah. I don't—
we've done that.
Mitchell, Alvin Kamara. But all of that is on the website. So if you, and you can also plug in your specific roster, you can go and, you know, jointhefoot.com and import your league and see who is available in all your different leagues on your waivers. And it goes farther than just the guys we can talk about on the episode.
Would you drop Tank Bigsby, Tyron Tracy, Jonah Coleman, Marshawn Lloyd?
Tracy is— that's a Baxter punt. Bigsby is— he's just like these other high-value insurance running backs.
Would you drop him for Black?
Yeah. I don't know. Yes. I think I would.
What was— so then break that tie because to me Tank Bigsby should—
I'd rather have Kaylin Black.
Really?
Yeah.
I feel like if Christian McCaffrey and Saquon went down completely, they both, you know, were— they both retired right this week. I think Tank Bigsby scores a lot more fantasy points this week.
I agree with that. I'd rather pick up Kaylin Black in terms of More risk. What if he— well, I'm not just the risk. Like, we're, you know, we're projecting that McCaffrey will be the heavy workload yet again. But what if every single week, Caelan Black is getting 12 opportunities?
I think you would.
I don't think it would be—
it won't be Bigsby every down either with Saquon out. I mean, Shipley, you'll have Shipley in there. Sure. All right. Wide receiver pickups. You do have some big ones this week. I think the 2 biggest names for me on the week that are in the wide receiver position, Deebo Samuel, Jalen Coker. De'Jon Stribling is out for an extended period of time. Deebo was heavily involved, 6 for 48, scored a touchdown, got the classic rushing attempt, 71% rostered. So this is a higher rostered player. Jalen Coker's at 66%. He was the number 1 wide receiver on the week. I would not take that as, you know, prescriptive for the entire year. But so I'm not, I would not like Both of those guys are like well below 20% of my fab. What are you thinking about in the, you know, 8 to 10% max?
What do you think about the fact that the second half of the game, DeMarcus Robinson played 24 snaps to Deebo Samuel's 7? I know that game got— I guess I don't know how much of that was.
I think you have to factor it in.
Yeah, we did talk about the fact that veterans got a lot of— I mean, but CMC, Kittle, and Deebo. got very reduced workloads. I don't know if it was strategic, preventative, precautionary, cautionary, whatever you want to say.
So in the 3rd quarter when the game was still, I mean, the Rams weren't, you know, benching their starters in the 3rd. It looks like Mike Evans and DeMarcus Robinson played 12 snaps. Deebo Samuel played 4 snaps. So I just bring up that because DeMarcus Robinson is also a name. The DeSean Stribling injury is going to matter. And then obviously Deebo got the touchdown. He looked not too bad. But DeMarcus Robinson will be involved.
He will. But, but I, you wouldn't start him over Deebo, would you? Because I mean, I've done that. We've done the DeMarcus Robinson thing over the years. And I, I think the designed plays for Deebo are more valuable than any of the snap count numbers.
But I guess my point is if it, if it cost me 15 fab to get Deebo or $0 to get Robinson. Robinson. I'd probably rather save the fab.
I think I like all these other names more than Robinson.
Okay.
Devon Vailly. Caleb Douglas.
Vailly is my number 2.
Davian Wicks.
Yes. All of those guys are awesome. I think those are the pickups and Antonio Williams as well.
How much would you spend on Coker though? Let's not leave that for a second because 8 for 132 and 2, 84% of the snaps, first read targets tied with McMillan, air yards Went to Coker. You know, you're talking about a player they just paid money to. He hasn't been healthy. When he's been healthy, he's always flashed like Robert Woods or Parker Washington or these guys that once they got opportunities, they performed.
What about the fact that he's not healthy?
I mean, I'm not too—
Precautionary.
I mean, a first quarter injury. I'm not too worried about it.
Coker's going to be expensive.
He, he, I will say this again.
He'll be a 20-plus percent of fab is my guess.
Andy is definitely correct that he is— I think someone in your league will.
I mean, that was—
he'd definitely be my number 1 pick.
That's a wild game. You got Atlanta this week. I mean, Koker is my number 1, but I, I would cap my spend on Koker at 15%, probably. Maybe, maybe like 12%. I would, I would want to—
You can make a very easy argument that Devon Vailly is a better pickup. I mean, you still have the Bryce Young problem. Obviously, Jalen Koker had a Bryce Young quarterback in week 1. He was the wide receiver 1 on the week. But the Bears defense looked really, really bad. That game got out of hand and was awesome for fantasy. I don't expect that to be the norm.
I don't expect Vailly to get 7 for 69 and a touchdown every week either. I think Juwan Johnson will be more involved and they won't run 86 plays a week. So I think both of those guys are going to be a little bit of like my investment on Vailly would not be very high.
Yeah.
Because there's just a bunch of guys that I think are in that same category that I can get for free.
If you need a start, to me, Vailly is very valuable. The Ravens, Raiders, and Falcons next 3 weeks. That's the time frame where we know Jordan Tyson can't come back. So he is going to be the wide receiver 2 on the field. And I liked what we saw from Shuck. It got off to a slow start, but he really played some quality ball down the stretch. I'm like, to me, Vailly and Coker are very close to one another. And I feel like I can get Vailly They're very cheap.
Those 2 guys are close to another.
That's how it is for me.
To me, I mean, I mean, Vallee is expiring. Coker's a rest of season value. When I'm drafting, when I'm spending any fab at the top of the season, I want him to be somebody that's not temporary. So that's a big differential for me. I would agree. I mean, I could start Dontavian Wicks this week for not that much. And I don't think that that's a disservice to like it's worse than Vallee.
Dontavian Wicks is another great name. He could be a rest of season. I mean, you could argue the expiring asset as Mekhi Lemon gets more involved the same way that Jordan Tyson will be back. But his role seems established. He played 91% of the snaps. He had a bomb touchdown and Wicks is good.
So I, yeah, he actually had a short touchdown. He had a bomb catch.
Oh, that's right. The touchdown was not on the bomb. I guess when I'm, when I'm looking at all these, you've got Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas, the rookies from Miami that despite the fact that I don't feel like the Miami Dolphins offense looked good, both these guys were We're okay. You know, Caleb Douglas, 5 for 94 in week 1 in a not great game.
I still think it's the time to scoop up Chris Bell. He only played 50% of snaps in week 1. They're figuring the offense out.
But I don't think Bell's— I don't think he's going to be playable for a while while he works up to speed.
It's possible.
I guess my point here is that I'm not going to spend a ton of money on these guys because there's enough. Like I would rather, you know, take an $8—
Exactly why I'm not spending anything on Bailey because I think there's 10 other guys that I would be willing to start.
If I took an $8 fab, you know, bid on all, even like, okay, I would maybe be willing to spend more on, on Jalen Coker, but I'm not personally like super bullish because I still think Bryce Young is going to fail.
That's where I am too.
And so it's like if I took an $8 bid and I put it on Coker and Vaillée and Douglas and Wicks and Bell. Great. I'm going to probably get one of them, if not two of them.
I like Malachi Fields a lot. He's actually the sneakiest, cheapest player that I would pick up and actually care about. I think the offense— he played 73% of snaps. It wasn't a hugely productive week, but he's not rostered in a lot of leagues. He's a rookie with upside. I like those. Antonio Williams is in that category. I want to have a $0 bid on these guys, a $1 bid on these guys.
Yeah, I can agree with that.
And pick up some rookies to hold because we, look, some of the rookies you held in week 1 are gone. Jacoby Lane, De'Jon Stribling. These guys are on IR or out. Stribling technically not on IR yet, but they're going to be in your, in your IR spot. So I just like picking those guys up versus like, absolutely, like DeMarcus Robinson. Okay. If I guess if you need a spot starter too.
With the injuries to wide receiver, you have to figure out what your team needs. Yeah, I think not being overly aggressive on the fab spend this week is probably the right strategy. I mean, you might, you know, you could have been devastated at the wide receiver position. You really have to go get somebody. And then did we throw out Mack Hollins' name yet?
No, Mack Hollins played the most snaps at the wide receiver position in the second half for the Patriots.
Will they get Kyle Williams involved?
I don't know why. Why won't they?
They're not good enough.
There's, yeah, there's something going on that we are, we are not privy to. But Mack Hollins is like, he's literally just the guy that he's like, oh crap, our plan didn't work. Mack Hollins, get in there and fix it for us. And he's like, no problem.
Let me take my shoes off and get in there.
DeMario Douglas in a full PPR is going to be the same story with AJ Brown out. I mean, he was heavily involved in the offense. I think he only had, I think he had 7 catches for 20 yards.
He had 7 targets, 5 for 20. I'm just, I feel like the floor play of Douglas is, I'm not interested.
It has to at least be in full PPR because he's just not going to get the yards to go along with the catches.
Romeo Doubs.
Yeah. I mean, he is one of the drop candidates that a lot of people are going after the goose in week 1. Do I drop him? I would not drop him. And like I said, I'd pick him up. The opportunity with AJ Brown gone. You've got a week to actually prepare for like, okay, now we don't have AJ Brown. What are we going to do? And Dobbs was their other big money free agent.
So where would you guys rank Pat Bryant in these wide receivers?
He looked, he looked okay. I mean, the game got out of hands, but it was out of hand. Yeah. I tried to get both of them on it. What do you got? 3 receptions on that first drive, or maybe it was the second drive.
Only having 1 catch kind of throws the thing off for me too. It's like, was this the whole offense not functioning?
You know? Right. But they have— they led the team— they led the league in pass attempts last year.
I definitely pick them up.
They're out of control with their pass rate yet again. We'll see if it holds. But like, I think Pat Bryant, you know, everything that they talked about with the offseason, we said, hey, You know, Parker, Jacoby Lane, unfortunately he's hurt. Pat Bryant, there might be a name I'm missing, but like those were the loudest drumbeats of the entire offseason of these are the players who are taking a step. The fact that Pat Bryant is a year 2 wide receiver, had all of those things, comes out and leads the team in targets.
It's a good sign.
Like that's a— I don't— he won't pass Waddle. I really, really expect Waddle to be perfectly fine, but it's like Courtland Sutton might be done and it's just B. Waddle and Pat Bryant.
Are you dropping Jordan Addison? He was a goose in week 1. I was going to ask if he's a bounce back or a buns.
Buns. I'm, I think, I think Jeff Jefferson is going to just hog everything right now. We saw that when Carson Wentz was there last year, how much he targeted Justin Jefferson, which is probably pretty smart to do.
He's very boom bust. He can have a 70-yard touchdown at any minute. But it's tough to count on backup quarterback and then transitioning back to Kyler and seeing if it works when you have other guys you could pick up.
Yeah. And I'll throw out one more name. I would not—
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
It's good.
It's nasty. People will not like it, but I do think Khalif Raymond is worth—
Oh no.
I know. Oh no.
Look, this is a fool me once.
No way.
No way.
Totally. That's fine. No way.
That's the Chicago Bears.
I mean, he's done that.
Yes, he has done it for Detroit before where he played with Ben Johnson and knew that system. He came in and played, you know, 60% of snaps, played 60-40 wide to out to inside.
You really believe this?
So, well, those are facts, but I do believe those. But I would say that he is, he's not a guy I expect to be great or take over, but all the Luther Burden. Yes. All the Luther Burden love and hype and all that. Jazz, you know, we still have not yet to see it. This is a guy who played with Ben Johnson for a while. He was on the field.
Well, Zaccheaus was that last year for them.
Yeah, exactly. Luther Burden couldn't beat Zaccheaus last year. And, and I, I think Khalif Raymond's better than Zaccheaus, but I'm not sitting here saying, I'm saying maybe put, if you've got an extra roster spot, do a $0 bid in case he becomes a thing. I mean, it's rare for a guy in what, like, this is like year 10. This is, you know, Like, like the button said, nasty, but I think he should be rostered in case.
All right. We'll take a break. We'll talk tight ends. All right. Let's talk the tight end position. There's names that matter. It's wild because one of these guys was not rostered in our league of record. Until the Bowers injury. And the Bowers manager went out and picked up Dallas Goedert and didn't miss a beat because Dallas Goedert was 4 for 77 and 2.
You've heard the Brock Bowers news, man. Day to day.
Well, it's, it's Kubiak.
He's totally going to play this week.
Truth telling.
I actually think he's back in like really not, maybe not this week, but next week.
Yeah, maybe next week.
It's been very, very positive. We should have brought it up on yesterday's show.
It's hard because Kubiak has— he already lied to us twice.
Yeah, I get it.
I get it.
But I mean, the initial report from others was 1 to 2 weeks. And then post-surgery, they said, hey, this was a trim. This looks like 1 to 2 weeks. I'm optimistic.
Well, we will see. All the positivity was from like reporters and people talking to Kubiak. All the reports from people who know medical procedures are like, mm-mm, mm-mm. Yeah, but that would surprise me.
Yeah. Yeah.
Because the former trims are usually, I mean, I just don't know the details. Yeah. We don't know the details. I don't know if there's like, you know, like when you're getting your haircut, like, oh, I'm taking 6 inches off or I'm, you know, just right.
Oh, you're trimming the trim.
The tips. I don't know.
You don't want to get a bowl cut.
No, not on your knee.
I got to tell you, Jay, I don't know if you're a long hair guy ever in your life. A 6-inch trim off of your hair? Yeah, that's not a trim.
Sure. But my point is, yeah, we do have data on this. A lot of hair on this procedure. I don't know if they're all the same, but it's usually 3 or 4 weeks.
Well, here's what I need to once again say out loud. For goodness sakes, can I get anybody to believe in Dallas Goedert? I said it all offseason. Yes. Which, by the way, in case you're curious, this was the tight end 3 last year. Did you know that? He's a tight end 3. And then you remove AJ Brown and it's very clear that the presence of DeVonta Smith does not match AJ Brown in terms of demand of targets. The presence of DeVonta Smith, he's going to have his days. But I said it last week before the game. I said it all offseason. Dallas Goedert came out and he's 4 for 77 and 2 touchdowns. He plays 95% of snaps. The offense desperately needs him. Mekhi Lemon is on pace for negative 85 yards this year. They desperately need Dallas Goedert. He's going to catch the ball every week. He's always going to be a touchdown threat. And he's sitting there in a lot of leagues, not, not too many because some listened, I guess. But I would get him onto your roster. I think every week Dallas Goedert is going to be a competitive player. Eli Stowers is on IR and irrelevant.
Did you see? So Eli Stowers, their 2nd round rookie pick, who I know we were on the IR now. He's on the IR.
Yeah, he's supes hurt.
With his hamstring, did you see the interview with him? Like it was the day before they put him on IR. He was talking about how he's really excited for week 1. He's ready to go. No, this is not an injury.
This is like, no, it's not.
No, this is, we don't need you right now.
You need to get better. I'm not ready.
Yes, exactly.
But look, to me, Goedert is the number 1 pickup on my list. And then close behind is Juwan Johnson. You know, take advantage of the fact he didn't get involved early in that game. He's a go-to target.
Still 7 targets.
You know, I'd rather flex Juwan Johnson than De'Von Velay if it's me in a regular week.
I think just a Velay hater hates him.
Well, it's not hate. It's just neutrality. I'm just neutral about De'Von Velay. I think there's— I mean, if I start Kendrick Bourne, I might get the same thing. If I start Pat Bryant, I might get the same thing. It's not— I don't— I just don't think Velay is a special talent able to emerge to be a superstar.
That's all.
It's just— I think he's a wide receiver 2, 3, and I think Juwan Johnson is special around the goal line. So I like Juwan Johnson. He's less rostered.
I love Juwan too.
We're all in on Juwan Johnson at the tight end position. I think it's great. He's obviously still rostered in most leagues, but he's available in about 40% of leagues. My number 1 tight end pickup, obviously if Dallas Goedert was there, Juwan Johnson's there. If I need a start.
Those are your top 2?
Those are, those are the guys that I feel most confident starting. I would follow that up with actually Hunter Henry. I think the matchup for the next 2 weeks is really good against tight ends. And without AJ Brown, he might come in and it's just like, who could throw a touchdown to a tight end? Great. But if I already have someone, I've, you know, I'm, you know, I'm not really like I have to get someone else in there to play. I would, I would be picking up Kenyon Sadeer.
I agree. I do actually agree.
He only played 42% of snaps, which is on one hand a really, you know, it's a reason not to pick him up, right? Like, oh, he's not very involved. But as a rookie who was missing the majority of camp. When he was out there, he was targeted 3 times, got all 3. He was given a handoff, which he scored on. So he had a touchdown in his rookie week 1. I think that there's a player that absolutely— I mean, he will be picked up in every league, but it's like the upside of him—
Do you think he'll get picked up in every league? I think so. I think he'll be ignored in a lot of leagues.
I think someone in most leagues will take a shot on stashing him in the hopes that he is a very highly drafted guy.
And 33% rostered right now. I bet he doesn't give it above 50%. I think he'll be ignored this week. Yeah. I think he's a great pickup because players of this caliber, first round picks with the talent of Sadiq, you're going to see a workload increasing over the course of the year.
We, I mean, we saw, do we have an injury update on Amari Cooper? Omar Cooper.
Omar Cooper.
Whatever.
Hanging with Mr. Cooper.
That first round guy that no one cared about who had a great catch and we was like, oh, hey, look at Cooper. Yeah.
High ankle sprain.
Then he got hurt. So if, okay, high ankle. So he'll be out for quite a while.
Which part of the problem for both of those guys was the fact that you just drafted 2 guys that kind of work in the same area of the field. So yeah, I think, I think Sadiq would have been I mean, talk about Kenyan Siddiq's quarterback, Jason. Man, one of the best on-target accuracy. I think the best on-target accuracy percentage in week 1.
Hey, Jacoby was number 1 in PFF.
Yeah, I saw that. I think Geno was—
Geno was in top 5.
Yeah.
People were not happy with the PFF rankings this week.
No, wait, but they scored 0.
Because Caleb Williams is at 20. What are you doing?
Josh Allen was—
What are you doing?
Josh Allen. I don't think Josh Allen was in the top 12 either. Who against the number 1 defense was, I don't know, just perfect.
Let's just focus on Geno Smith.
But Geno Smith and Jacoby Brissett.
They got that one right.
Yeah. 2 other things. I would have been in on Britton Strange if I knew that BTJ was out. I thought that would have been a good spot start.
That's fair.
Michael Mayer, I think he's going to get targeted as long as Bowers is out. He's a good 1 to 2 week start. And then the Muth, you know, if you want to chase his 5 for 46.
You can do worse.
The question, one of the questions that came in, would you drop Fannon for Goedert? And I, I would not want to drop Fannon.
Right. But I, if, look, if you had to play one of them, you would play Goedert. So if you only have one roster spot, I probably don't drop him. No, I wouldn't either. I would, I would, you, if you have one roster spot, someone else to drop.
Yeah. Yeah. Defensive options for this week. Why not target them Browns? Deshaun Watson is Sure to make the fumbliest interceptioniest mistakes.
And you're not saying—
so that's the Buccaneers.
Yes.
Sorry, the Buccaneers defense faces the Browns.
There you go.
The 49ers face Miami. Those are the top 2 of the week. Packers face the Jets. We'll see. And then the Chiefs.
Was that a— you're getting a little bullish on the Jets offense?
That's me saying I don't know that that'll be a smash play after one week, but it should be. But it's in New York. I mean, it's not like I'm not as in on that as I would be. Like, I loved what I saw from the Chiefs defense last night.
The Chiefs and the Colts looked a little rumbly bumbly during the—
The Chiefs are a great pickup. They were my most drafted team coming into week 1 simply because I don't feel like Indy is a team you can't play against. They could be okay. But for a good defense like what we saw in the Chiefs following that, You get the Miami Dolphins and the Las Vegas Raiders. So you've got like a month of a really good start for the Chiefs defense.
I will shout out the Carolina Panthers.
Absolutely.
I know they got roasted. It's the Chicago Bears. They're going to do that to everybody.
How about Cooper Rush?
If, yeah, I mean, you have that built in. If it's Cooper Rush, then I—
Then it's Cleveland next week.
I might want—
yes. I was like, if it's Cooper Rush, I might play the Panthers over the Bucs. That's going to be pretty close, but you get the twofer if you pick up the Panthers because you get the Falcons this week and you get the Cleveland Browns next week.
That was the waiver wire presented by T-Mobile. When you're updating your roster right before kickoff, you've got coverage you can count on. Just another reason game days are better with T-Mobile. Check it out at t-mobile.com/membership.
Full stream ahead.
Well, it is the conclusion of week 1. We're going into week 2. We've got a streaming quarterback each and every week for you. If you need to make a spot start, make a decision, maybe you're feeling grossed out by the performance you got from, I don't know, Bo Nix or something. And you want to start somebody else this week. I like Jason's streamer the most this week.
Yeah. And in week 2, it's really not usually a streamer off of the waivers. I think this year a lot of people drafted multiple quarterbacks and this year, this is like, yeah, they'll hit the waiver wire this week.
There'll be some quarterbacks hitting this week.
Yeah. But like Bo Nix. Yeah.
It's possible.
Yeah. And I would, I would pick him up for the long term, although his schedule is tough. But I think Brock Purdy is a guy who's probably on a lot of benches, wasn't necessarily drafted to, to be everyone's starter. Great matchup against Miami. They're 13.5-point home favorites. And the truth is he's just freaking good. He is a super good quarterback.
Perfect system. And he is the perfect quarterback for the system.
Yes. And now he has Mike Evans, a touchdown machine around the end zone. So passing touchdowns are easier to come by for Brock Purdy.
And more and more, we should see more and more George.
Yeah, for sure. I honestly, what's crazy is George really impressed me. I know it's like he got, was like 2 for 12 in the game.
Yeah. He's a target for me.
But he impressed.
He's a trade target. He got picked up as a 2nd tight end by a lot of people.
The way that he played, the way that he ran, I was like, okay, you know, they got him off to a slow start as to be expected.
They went to him real fast, which was delightful to see.
But I do think by the time the season finishes, he could be very good.
I'm going to throw Patrick Mahomes out there. He was only started in 31% of leagues.
What knee injury?
Yeah, I was impressed. I think that it'll be better through the air this upcoming week on Sunday Night Football against Indianapolis. We're getting— Mike's getting primetime Kenbow and Walker again. I mean, we got Monday night, Sunday night back to back, but this is 6.5-point home favorites, high implied point total. Colts were dead last in yards per play allowed last week. I think Mahomes is going to have a couple of big plays. Maybe it's a Thornton touchdown. Maybe it's a screen pass.
So you think he'll have a completed pass over 10 yards?
I do believe that'll happen. So I'm going to throw Mahomes out there as a stream.
And don't worry if you're in deep leagues. I got you covered. It's disgusting. And this is a projection. I don't think Kyler Murray is going to play.
I love this pick.
It's Carson Wentz. It's the Chicago Bears. It is the defense that made a quarterback who can barely get to 200 yards on a regular basis look like an absolute superstar in Bryce Young. It's the 3rd highest over-under of the week right now. Look, Bears were 28th in yards per play allowed in week 1. And Carson Wentz is just, it's production. It's, we love Kevin O'Connell quarterbacks who are at least competent. And Carson Wentz definitely is. We saw Justin Jefferson got rescued.
I also think that you could, you could attach Kyler here. Kyler will probably be dropped in most leagues. He was drafted essentially as a backup quarterback. Sure. I don't think people are going to want to hang on to him through the concussion. But should he progress, because he was at meetings, which is a sign that he—
I mean, it'll be this week or next.
Yeah, exactly.
Probably next.
But if he's back this week against the Bears, I would play Kyler as well.
It's a good point. I mean, if he's a sudden start, that's a great matchup. No more fadeaway jumpers, please. That was, yeah, that was the end. That was the end, as they say.
That was the end.
Wednesday we've got 2 checks.
You are incorrect, Andy. This is just the beginning.
Is it?
Yeah.
Oh wait, I got something in here, right?
Oh no. You got something special?
No, it's not real special. I got to get this thing in a better spot.
Yeah. I think we, I think he got enough attention on the show today. I think we're doing good.
What if I do this one?
Kenneth Walker.
Oh, just, just a musical interlude.
