What's up, everybody? You welcome into the FanDuel Sunday Night Fantasy Football Recap. I'm your host, Simon, joined as always by my crew of co-hosts. We've got Jay, John Luke and Joey. What's up, guys? What up? What's going on? What's happening? Football, baby. Football is back. I love it. Oh. Was that today? That was today. That's what we've been doing, Joey. Oh, man, this is going to be a long show for you, Joey, if you thought today was sad. I was catching up on House of Dragons all day. Okay, well, Joey, we'll make sure to have a solid 45 minutes before we go to the House of Dragons. But then we're going to have to talk a little bit of football. So just faking this question, okay? Okay. We've got Dave in the chat saying, howdy, duty, howdy, duty, Dave. Welcome, Dave. Howdy, Dave. Dave Overlord. Mr. Scam is in here as well. Yoo-hoo. Yoo-hoo, Mr. Scam. Albert, hello to you. What's up, Albert? Maria said hello, my friends. And, Dave, saying what we're doing today. Football is my favorite. God, I'm so glad you're here. Correct. I spent today just sitting on the couch, watching football, completely overreacting to every single thing that happened internally. It was a day of happiness, sadness, stress, joy, anger, frustration, and overall, I was sorry. I literally didn't sit all day. I stood in my kitchen with my laptop, with the iPad, and then the TV. It's just nothing but football all day long. And ignore my family. Didn't pay attention on my children.  Who needs them? They'll still be there tomorrow on Monday, except there's more football tomorrow. So you might have to pick again tomorrow, Jay. We've got Marty in here saying, what's up, FYF. Hey. Marty. Marty. D-I-R Logistics, LLC, a full LLC in here. What's up, boys? Hey, Brian. What up? Hey, Brian, welcome in. We have had a full day of football so far. 14 games either completed or underway in the fourth quarter on the last four of those. And we're going to touch on most of those games and the fantasy impact going into week two. Before we do that, though, a couple reminders.

We're going to be here every Sunday all season, in between those 4 p.m. games and that Sunday night football game, breaking down that day's fantasy for you. And on Thursdays from five to six, we are right here back on this channel doing nothing but playing games. So we play lots of games, takes on popular TV game shows, all related to fantasy football. So make sure you come hang out with us there on Thursdays as well. I think it's time to go ahead and pull up this first game and get into it, guys. We have a lot of games to cover. And the first game I wanted to talk about was the San Francisco 49ers going up against the Chicago Bears in Chicago. Bears, man, through three quarters of this game, it looked kind of like San Francisco was dominating in every single aspect of the game, or at least through the first half, third quarters where it started turning around, except on the scoreboard. They weren't scoring the points. Chicago turned it on in the second half, ended up winning this game 19 to 10 in one hell of a bad weather game. It wasn't your snow game, but by the end of that game, it was hot or rain rain. It was like they were swimming out there. They would hit the ground. The splash would go seven feet in the air. That was wild. I looked like a ton of fun to play in, though. I was going to say that would be so much fun. Justin Fields did the slide. I think it was fantastic. I love it. I loved the full team slide into the end zone at the end of the game after they won. It was absolutely awesome. I'm trying not to take too much from some of the negatives in this game because of the weather, but there are some things we do need to talk about. One, Trey Lance, new starting quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. After they re-signed Jimmy G to a backup deal, I think every single time he goes out there and doesn't perform well, there's going to be questions. There's going to be questions about, does Jimmy G get the start? Do they put Trey Lance on the bench? Now, after week one, Trey Lance didn't put up an impressive line. 13 for 28, 164 yards, no passing touchdowns and an interception. Did some work on the ground as well, though. 13 carries for 54 yards, which is what we were expecting from him. How much stock are you guys putting into this? Let's call it what it is, a poor performance from Trey Lance going into week two in this rain game. Yeah, I mean, the rushing is exactly what we want to see, right? That amount of rushing from Trey Lance is exactly why you drafted him so highly. 13 attempts for 54 yards. That's great for rushing quarterback and it's likely he'll get touchdowns in the future. So I'm not too worried about Lance. Like you said, it was pouring rain. That was absolutely affecting the gameplay. So just a weird game for this to be like your first as a starter. So I could feel for Trey Lance. Yeah. I mean, I definitely think there was more concerns than just the rain, I'm not trying to read too much into this. Jay, do you think we're going to see any Jimmy G anytime soon? Or is this still the Trey Lance run quarterback team? I don't. I think that the 40 honors the main reason they reached on Jimmy G was to keep him away from Seattle because there's mutual interest there. So I think Trey Lance is going to have a long leash. I've got no issue, no concerns whatsoever. Yeah. On the other side of the ball, let's stick to that quarterback position. Justin Field, who was one of my favorite guys to draft a little bit later this season through the first half. I was really nervous at the end of the first half. What he had less than 20 passing yards if I'm not mistaken, 19 passing yards in the first half. So when you look at his line and see that he had 121 yards in the game, know that the vast majority of that over 100 yards of that came just in the second half today. But what I did see from Justin Fields, him getting out of the pocket, him running a little bit, some of the passes were beautiful. I have high hopes for Justin Field still this season. It was a rain game like we talked about and he put together a pretty good second half with the receiving core that he has. Darnell Mooney didn't do much and he still put together a decent game, getting some of these other names in this offense involved. Dante Pettis had a touchdown. Byron Pringle was involved. Equanimous St. Brown as well had a touchdown in this game. So Justin Fields, no concerns for me. Joey, how are you feeling about Justin Fields? Did you see enough to have hope going forward? Yeah. A lot of the stuff I just kind of want to throw out from this game because of the weather. But from what I saw from Fields today, like with my eyes, I kind of liked. You saw stuff with your eyes? Yeah. I mean, like instead of looking at a stat sheet, I saw it like on my television screen that's like that right there. It's like real close to my face right now. I liked what I saw from Fields. He looked a lot more explosive than I thought he was going to. Now you look at the stat sheet, you don't really see that. The two touchdowns is nice, but this whole week watching it, it did feel like the first three quarters was shake off the rust. Unless your name is Patrick Mahomes, then there's no rust there, but everybody else seemed like they had some rust going on. I pray to God that that's not rust for Patrick Mahomes. If those five touchdowns are rust for Patrick Mahomes, then man, every single person in the fantasy industry that said it was going to be a down year for him is going to be eating some serious crow if he keeps this up. But we've seen this from Patrick Mahomes before. He can put up five touchdown games any given week. I did think it was cool about Equinomia St. Brown. I didn't say his name right. It's okay. It's okay. Equinomious. Him and his brother scored touchdowns pretty much back to back. So, Amon Russ said Brown had the first one and then his brother had the next. It was kind of cute. That was very cute. Just to give some context, Justin Bills had eight completions on 17 attempts for 121 passing yards and two touchdowns, one interception. It was nice to see an offense built around Justin Bills's strengths and not trying to fit, his skill set in an offense designed around Andy Dalton. So it was like he said, being an ugly rain game. This is definitely encouraging. I'm still high on both of these quarterbacks, but especially Justin Fields after the way that he played in the second half, you know, after struggling in the first. Yeah, we hit on some of these receiving options. I don't think we need to talk too much more about the receiving options in this game. Darnell Mooney is still likely the one for this team. It was a bad game for him. He wasn't the guy. They spread the ball around a little bit and in a weird passing game for the Bears. The more concerning one for me was Colcomet, who ended the game with zero target, zero receptions. Are we sounding the alarm bells on Colcomet? Not way too early for any of that. Absolutely. The one last topic on the Chicago Bears side of the ball here. David Montgomery, I think, was assumed that he was going to be the workhorse running back for this team, possibly with Khalil Herbert working in. But at the end of this game, David Montgomery had 17 carries for 26 yards on an impressive 1.5 yards per carry. While Khalil Herbert had nine carries for 45 yards and that rushing touchdown on the ground. JL, are we going to see Khalil Herbert take over as the back here? David Montgomery did get more carries. Do you think it's more of a 1A, 1B scenario, heavily utilized backup, or is Herbert going to steal his job? I don't think it's as extreme as stealing his job. Herbert didn't even get most of the carries. He barely got half of David Montgomery's attempts in this game. This is just one game. It's a very weird game. I'm not strapling out of this. David Montgomery is still the guy there. We're going to see Khalil Herbert get worked into this offense. Guys, we got to remember, this is actual NFL football, and so they're never going to use just one guy, unless your name's like Todd Gurley or Nashi Harris. They're going to mix in these other guys. Khalil Herbert is talented, he's good. I think they'll work him in more and more throughout the season, but I don't think it'll ever be more than a majority that we get from David Montgomery. It's a Damian Harris. We're not talking David Montgomery here. We're talking, no, we are talking David. We are talking David Montgomery. We are talking David Montgomery. You got me confused now. So Joey, how did you feel about Kenyon Drake in this? I'm just kidding. Are you feeling Khalil Herbert as a guy that needs to be on rosters at least at this point? Like if he's sitting there on your waiver wires, he's someone that you're trying to pick up? I would have drafted him, and not because I thought that he would take the job at all, but I think he has standalone value. You know, he had a touchdown in this game, which helps, and this game is an outlier. It's kind of weird. There's a lot of good reports coming out about Herbert from Bears Camp this year. So if you have a roster spot on your bench, put him there, see what happens in the next couple of weeks. You know, if Montgomery goes down, he has shown that he can do the work.  Yeah, absolutely. I think I'm in full agreement with you there. He's a guy that's worth picking up, has standalone value, maybe a slightly less valuable like Tony Pollard, a guy that you can start that is the backup running back. And if the starter goes down, the likely have a much bigger workload right there. On the San Francisco 49ers side of the ball, unfortunately one of the first injuries of the season, Elijah Mitchell looked like he was going to be that lead back in this offense. Like there's all the talk about it being a committee. He was looking great out there at the beginning of the game, six carries, 41 yards sitting there at 6.8 yards per attempt. And then he went out of the game with a knee injury. I believe we're still waiting to hear how long until he's going to be back on the field. But based on the reports, seeing him taking a pretty heavy brace to the team bus on his knee, I would imagine he's at least out next week with the potential for a couple more weeks. After he left the game, we saw Devo Samuel and Jeff Wilson a little bit more involved in the rushing game. Devo Samuel, the better of the two rushing the ball, but Jeff Wilson picked up most of the carries, nine carries, but for only 22 yards after that. But whenever we look at this 49ers depth chart, the only other running back, like actual running back on this roster besides Jeff Wilson and Elijah Mitchell is undrafted free ascent, Jordan Mason. So it's going to be Devo and Jeff Wilson picking up the slack while Elijah Mitchell's out. Joey, we just talked to, if Cleo Herbert was worth that waiver wire pickup, is Jeff Wilson worth the waiver wire pickup if Elijah Mitchell's out? Yeah, absolutely. There's a lot of people, you know, shouting Jordan Mason, Jordan Mason. And I think they were looking for that echo of last year's Elijah Mitchell when Moester went down. And Mason didn't get a carry in the game that I saw. And on the stats, she chose he didn't get one. But yeah, if Jeff Wilson's available on your waiver wire, you've got to put in some money for him, either fab or I don't think if, you know, the smoke clears in the week and Elijah Mitchell is the biggest injury that Jeff Wilson's not worth your first waiver wire priority if you do waivers that way. Absolutely. I think I agree with you. I'm just, I wasn't inspired by what we did see from him in this game. So you can burn that first waiver priority, but I don't know what the upside is for Jeff Wilson. I don't know if we're going to get big games from him, but he could be the primary ball carrier in this offense. Jay, do you have interest in Jeff Wilson? I do. Honestly, I'd rather take the shot on Jordan Mason. We've seen Jeff Wilson and he's fine. I don't think he's got the upside of, you know, what you would hope for when you're burning that highway of your priority or that, you know, huge amount of fab on a player. So granted, give me anybody who's going to get the majority of the carries on San Francisco's team. But I think you're going to see Trey Lance involved even more. I think you're going to see Debo Samuel involved even more. There was a lot of talk this preseason about Jordan Mason. So he's the one that I'm going to be targeting and he can likely be had for cheaper than Jeff Wilson. Yeah. And Albert in here asking if Jeff Wilson would be the pickup of Mitchell's injury. Sounds like Joey's maybe a little bit more on the Jeff Wilson side. Jay on the Jordan Mason side. I'm, I'm siding with Joey more on this one. Jail, if you were picking up one of these two guys, would it be Jeff Wilson or the rookie Jordan Mason? Yeah. For me, it would be Jeff Wilson. He seems to be to be the clear guy to fill in for that role. So I'll go with him. There we go. We're going to move on to our next game. This was a fun game down in Miami. The Patriots taking on the Dolphins and the Dolphins coming out victorious in this one. Hold up there. There he is. Yep. So yeah, Dolphins won today. Mac Jones had an interception lost fumble in a touchdown to pair with his 213 passing yards. He kind of looked unremarkable for most of the day. Simon, do you have any concerns in like maybe two quarterback leagues with Mac Jones? No, in a two quarterback league, I mean, yeah, he was unremarkable, but he still threw for over 200 yards. Had a touchdown. It was the week one of the season. Some new receivers in that offense. This is, this is Mac Jones. Know what I mean? Like maybe take the interception away, take the fumble away.  He doesn't have the upside that some of these other quarterbacks have, but this is about his floor, I feel like. Okay. Yeah, it was over a hundred degrees on the field, they were saying at game time. So I was wondering if the heat had anything to do with it. The running game turned out to be like a two-headed monster. As expected with Damian Harris getting nine carries and Ramon J. Stevens are getting eight. Passing downs work seemed to favor time of gumry, scored the loan receiving touchdown for the Patriots on a six yard reception. That he rolled, he log rolled in the end zone for that touchdown. He rolled in the end zone. Like I used to roll in the snow when I lived in Montana. He just like realized he wasn't quite there. Seems like he talked to him was like, I can get there. Jay, do you like any, one of these running backs over the other? I like both Damian Harris and Ramon J. Stevenson. And basically you're going to be hoping that one of them gets a touchdown. I think they're, they're flex plays. They're solid RB twos and bi weeks. But, you know, time on gumry, you do have to be a little concerned for Ramon J. Stevenson because that was the role many expected Stevenson to have was to have that pass catching back role in this offense. I still like them both time on gumry. I mean, he only had four targets.  It's encouraging to see Damian Harris get three targets. I still in this backfield, it goes Harris, Stevenson, time on gumry for me. If Montgomery misses time, then I think you can elevate both Harris and Stevenson into RB two territory. Cool. Jail, what do you think? I completely agree. I think this is, this is how we imagined it playing out. It's why Damian Harris is going right next to Ramon J. Stevenson in drafts. This nine eight split and attempts is kind of what I was expecting. Excellent, excellent. Jacoby Myers seemed to be the only receiver worth rostering for the Patriots right now. He led the team in receptions and receiving yardage. And did Hunter Henry even get anything? He had two for 20. Yeah, I was, I was watching for Hunter Henry all day. Yeah, and yeah, really nothing. Simon, is there anybody on the New England receiving corps that you like at all? I'm not giving up on Devonte Parker yet. Mac Jones, I know he didn't get very many targets, but he looked his way a couple of times. One of them in the end zone, I believe, and it was a decent ball his way. Like, I think we could see some noise from Devonte Parker as the season goes down, but you're right, Jacoby Myers is the, is the guy to roster if you're going to start one of these New England wide receivers. But I don't mind holding on to Parker and seeing if that chemistry develops a little bit more as the season progresses. Cool, yeah. So on the Miami side, it seemed like it was just like a tail the first half, like they scored 17 and that's all they needed for the rest of the game, really, to win. I would say Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle looked a lot better together. It was great.  I mean, Hill had, what, eight for 94 and then Waddle had the touchdown and that touchdown was beautiful. It was the first play of the morning where I like, yelped out loud and my wife had to run in here and check to see if something had happened, fallen out of the chair or something. Jay, do you think that after just one game that Hill and Waddle might be one of the best tandems in the league? I think they're definitely in the conversation, but I still have to give it to Jamar Chase and T. Higgins. This is pretty much what I expected. Tyree Kill and both Jay and Waddle to be low end wide receiver ones. I think there's definitely a very real possibility they can both finish as wide receiver ones on the season. It's got to be encouraging to see Tua, even though he had one touchdown, he looked good out there. I really liked what Mike McDaniels did with this offense. I think you can depend on both Hill and Waddle weekend and weekend. Awesome.  I was just gonna say, I'm with you, Jay. Like these guys, this offense looked like it's gonna run through those two players for the majority of the season and Tua looked like he's gonna be able to support both of them. Like he's gonna be able to support two top tier fantasy relevant wide receivers in this offense and it keeps clicking like it did today. And man, just how much fun is it gonna be to cheer for this team all year? Like you mentioned, like they looked electric out there. When Waddle scored that touchdown, like, yes, I love his Waddle celebration, but I think maybe the thing I love more is when they cut to like the like, like the out of shape fans in the stands. Like, not every single one of them we're out there doing. Yeah, they've got all the fans in the stand and the jerseys just doing the Waddle, like all age ranges, all different kinds of people. They got kids, they got adults, they got old guys, young guys, everyone's Waddle it. It's so much fun. So for myself, I'm still, I would still rather have Tyree kill over Waddle, but is anybody like on the Waddle train big time? I have a lot of Waddle this season because he was cheaper. I feel like it was a kind of like the situation last year with Jamar Chase and T Higgins. You know, you really got a value on Higgins last year because everybody expected Jamar Chase to take everything. And that was a similar what I saw with Jalen Waddle. I feel like he was going too far in drafts. So I'm excited for the Jalen Waddle shares that I do have. Awesome. Yeah, I'm with you, Jay. Cool. So as far as rushing for Miami, it was kind of non-existent other than Chase Edmonds. He had 10.5 PPR fantasy points. I know that Raheem Mostor was kind of a popular last guy in the last round. Jay is, if you have Mostor, are you happy to drop him at this point? I wouldn't drop him just, I mean, if you have to, like I'm not, not concerned with dropping him, but I still think he's worth hanging onto, especially Chase Edmonds, you know, didn't really do anything to inspire any confidence 2.1 yards per carry. So we've seen Mostor when he's able to stay on the field produced, so give me the guy who is, could wind up being the leader in rushing attempts in a Mike McDaniels offense. If you have to, it's fine, but I would prefer to hang on to Mostor. Jay, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, just to give some context here, we saw Chase Edmonds get 12 attempts for 25 yards. We saw Mostor get five attempts for 16 yards total. There were no rushing touchdowns in this game. There were absolutely no rushing touchdowns. Between those two guys, yeah, Chase Edmonds is clearly the guy, but five attempts is not nothing for him Mostor. No. I don't know that I would necessarily drop him unless there's someone more enticing, but I'm okay dropping him. He's the clear number two in this offense, which I think is gonna end up being a very pass at the offense. Would you drop him for Jeff Wilson? Yeah, I wouldn't. Yeah, I think I would as well. If that's the last player on my bench, just in a vacuum, you say, who would you rather have in your lineup right now? It's Jeff Wilson. I'm with you, Jay. Simon, do you think that maybe today was maybe an audition for Edmonds and Mostor? And maybe next week, we might actually see Miles Gaskin pop back in here a little bit? Um, I don't know. I'm not sure if we see Miles Gaskin pop back into this offense. I think Edmonds has a clear hold on the lead back here. I think he's the best running back on the Miami Dolphins and we'll see him continue to be the feature back. I'm gonna see Albert in here asking thoughts on Edmonds. Well, them's my thoughts on Edmonds, right? Them's my thoughts. Them's my thoughts. So Tua had a pretty efficient day with 270 yards. Just one touchdown. So, I mean, this talent doesn't look super great, but, you know, does anybody have any concerns about Tua if you drafted him to be the starter on your team? Or did today give you more confidence? Not at all. It's definitely encouraging. Yeah, I wouldn't say, you know, it's one game we've seen Tua put together good games. I'd like to, I want to see him do it in stretches. So I want to see him continue to build on this.  Also going against the Patriots. Patriots Stevens has not been easy lately. So, and, you know, Bill Belichick knows what he's doing. So, I think that, I think we should see, we should give Tua another couple of weeks. We should see what he can do, but I feel very encouraged after watching this game. Yeah, absolutely. Let me, let me put those concerns to rest, Jail. You don't need to give him another couple of weeks. He's the real deal. With Jail and Waddle and Tyree kill there, this was just the appetizer to start the Tua coming out season. Yeah, this was just a little Tua appetizer. The Apa Tua, sir. There it is. I love Tua, sir. Nailed it. Stuck the way. Absolutely. Awesome. So, what's the next game, Simon? The next game. We're gonna keep on talking about this one for a minute. I'm just kidding. I saw Craig in here say, I'm sure I missed the discussion on it, but glad to see Simon made. It wasn't sure he could bear it after the late Craig. We did discuss the Bears 49ers game, and man, I said Darnel Mooney's name very few times during that stretch. I just couldn't bear to talk about it very much. It was a rough game for Darnel Mooney, but we will see plenty more of him as the season goes on. The next game we're talking about, we've got the Ravens at the Jets. The Ravens were six and a half point favorites, and they looked like it out there on the field as well. The Ravens coming away with the victory over the Jets. Final score 24 to nine. Yes, this was a pretty fun game. I think for anybody who had fantasy, fantasy players in this game on either side was tuning in, because it was very interesting. We had the Ravens beat the Jets 24 to nine. Really, the Jets weren't able, at this game started out, it was raining, and the Jets just weren't able to really piece it together. Joe Flacco, he looked all right, but he was not good enough to make things happen. 37 completions on 59 attempts, 307 yards, one touchdown and one interception for old Joey Flacco. How are you guys feeling about Joe Flacco as the QB won there on the Jets? At least for the next three weeks. What do you think, Joe? Or Simon? Yeah, I was very excited. No, I'm not gonna say very excited, that's a little, that's a number. Very excited for Joe Flacco. I was interested to see what Joe Flacco was going to do today, because of what him and Elijah Moore did last year. Now, I don't mind Elijah Moore stat line five for 49, but I didn't see much from Flacco today that inspired me very much. So, get back soon, Zach Wilson. The one thing I do see that I like that he, I'm sorry, Simon, I'll go ahead and jump ahead of you. He threw the ball 59 times. So, granted he didn't look that great, but he still wound up with over 300 yards. You know, Reese Hall had 10 targets. Michael Carter had nine targets. Elijah Moore, seven targets. Garrett Wilson, eight targets. So, you have to be excited for the Jets pass catcher simply from a volume standpoint while Joe Flacco was under center. I don't want to start Joe Flacco under any circumstances, but, you know, if he's going to continue to chuck the ball, I'll love it for anybody who's catching the ball on the Jets. Yeah, 15.3 fantasy points is what Joe Flacco ended this week with. That was the hardest earned 15 points. That was the only two points by a point back then ever. 59 attempts, 307 yards.  He absolutely did. This running back whore was also a, you know, hot topic that's coming into this week. We've got the rookie, hot rookie, hyped rookie, Reese Hall coming in, coming into this back field along with Michael Carter, who was pretty, pretty hyped. He's pretty hyped as well, coming, you know, before they drafted Reese Hall. In this game, we saw Michael Carter get 10 of the attempts, 10 attempts for 60 yards, no touchdowns. Reese Hall got six attempts for 23 yards and no touchdowns. They had, let's see, Michael Carter had nine targets. Nine targets, seven receptions to 40 yards while Reese Hall had 10 targets for six receptions and 38 yards. These guys were pretty evenly used in this game, slightly more on the Michael Carter side. I can say from, at least from my perspective, it felt like every single play it was Michael Carter. How are you guys feeling about this backfield? How are you feeling about Reese Hall after watching game one, you know, with both of these guys in the backfield, healthy and playing?  If you drafted Reese Hall, you are terrified right now. And if you drafted Michael Carter, you could not be happier. But I think the reaction should probably be similar for both of them. This is a rookie running back in his first game going up against the Baltimore Ravens defense, okay? The fact that they got even carries in game one, week one against the Ravens, leads me to think that by mid season, we're gonna see Reese Hall leading this backfield as long as he doesn't choke it away. Like Michael Carter has the reps with this team, has the trust of the coaching staff. Looked good last year. Reese Hall, he's been there what for a couple months now and he's already sharing like equal duties with Michael Carter. I think this will be primarily the Reese down backfield by halfway through the season, but they're ramping them up and they've got a back that they can trust in Michael Carter and keep using. So why not? While Reese Hall gets used to the speed of the NFL. He did fumble. I forgot to mention that. Reese Hall did fumble and lost the fumble in this game which could have affected, you know, how he was used as well. Yeah, what do you think? Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. That was something I was gonna get to, which is encouraging. He fumbled, it was in the red zone as well and they went, they didn't hesitate. He got back in the game. He got targets, he got usage. So that's definitely- Didn't get the James Cook treatment. Right, yeah.  You know, it's the NFL. Guys are gonna fumble now. You know, if he continues, that's a different story but it was definitely encouraging to see the usage after the fumble continue like it didn't happen. Absolutely. Joey, anything to add on that running back, backfield? No, I think they hit it pretty much. I mean, Michael Carter, he definitely earned some respect last year and he earned some work in this backfield. So, you know, I drafted a lot of Breeze Hall but I drafted him with the expectation. He probably wasn't gonna have a big week one or week two.  As the season goes on, you'll see Breeze get more work. But Carter's not bad and he showed it today. I mean, with his stat line, you can see it. You can see it. He looked good on the field. Yeah, he absolutely looked good on the field. On the wide receiver front, we also had a surprise. The highest scoring Jets wide receiver in this game was Corey, MF and Davis. Just like you guys drew it up, right? That's his legal middle name too. He heard me. Somebody asked me, what do you think about Corey Davis on a show this week, like Deep Sleep? I said it. I was like, get out of here. Like, like no way. Like Corey Davis with Elijah Moore and then they've got rookie Garrett Wilson coming in here. I was like, forget about it. And Joe, you did keep me on. You were like, you know, Corey Davis has been good in the NFL before, like we've seen a problem. And I said, yeah, but that is exactly what you said. I was a little bit wrong. Yeah, Corey Davis got 10.7 fantasy points, PPR fantasy points in this game. And that was on six receptions on nine targets for 77 yards, no touchdowns. While Elijah Moore, he had seven targets, five receptions for 49 yards, no touchdowns. Garrett Wilson, eight targets and four receptions, 52 yards, no touchdowns. So it was pretty spread out. Seven, eight, nine, that's, I mean, that's pretty even. That's pretty even. Do you guys think that, what do you get? Well, all of these guys, if Corey Davis was the highest scoring one, 10.7 PPR fantasy points, that's not necessarily great. That's kind of just passable for fantasy. Are you guys worried at all going forward that these Jets wide receivers are not really going to be able to return the value on their draft costs because they're in this Jets offense? Or was this a deep tough matchup with the Ravens? I think it's both. I mean, the Ravens, you know, past events is really good. And I don't think I was spending more than a sixth round pick on any of the Jets wide receivers. Elijah Moore was the first one I was taking this season. So I think if you got them, you got them late.  If you get 10, 10.7 points out of Corey Davis and a flex spot and a bi-week, that's fantastic. Now I know this is week one and you start your studs, but I'm okay with what I got from them because I wasn't expecting a whole lot. Sometimes you get Chris Godwin and Alan Lazard week one matchup and you're not sure if Chris Godwin is going to play and you still have to throw in one of these guys in your flex. I'm sure there's somebody out there who threw Corey Davis in, but Joey, I'm in a bit of agreement here with you. Now the other thing we do have to consider is that this is with Joe Flacco and we're likely not going to have Joe Flacco all season. This is a different offense. Will all this talk about a plus or a negative? I don't know. I don't know if it's a plus or a negative. What I like, I don't know. I can't imagine they're going to have Zach Wilson chucking the ball 59 times in this offense. I just, I just don't believe him. Maybe they will, but we haven't seen that from him really. So maybe a negative for the receiving options as a whole but maybe a positive for an individual one. Maybe that chemistry with Elijah Moore and Zach Wilson is a little better. But yeah, this is the Joe Flacco. This is probably close to what we're going to see. The ball spread around between these receivers. But Joey, exactly what you said, if you drafted Corey Davis, no need to worry at all. You're thrilled. If you drafted Elijah Moore, it's a little disappointing if this is what you're going to get weak in with out. But who was the one touchdown catch this week? It was who Tyler Conklin, Tyler Conklin. This touchdown is going to be awesome for the receivers. Just four sections on seven targets, 14 yards and one touchdown for Tyler Conklin. 9.4 PPR fantasy points. Are you guys picking up Tyler Conklin this week? No, no. Shovel him in the tight end glob. In the glob. In the glob. I'm glad you brought that back. If anybody is disappointed in Elijah Moore and ready to cut bait, pick them up. Trade for them. If somebody drops them in shallow bench leaks. I am still very high on Elijah Moore for this season. All right, switch into the other side of this game. The other team, we got Lamar Jackson through for 17 completions on 30 attempts. Man, that's 30 seems so low after looking at Flacco's 59 attempts. He threw for 313 yards, three touchdowns, one interception. He had 21.2 fantasy points this week. And man, Devin Duvernay ended up being that guy in Baltimore for receptions on four targets, 54 yards and two touchdowns. Two touchdowns. How do you guys feeling about Lamar Jackson coming back after sort of mixed season last year? A lot of people I know were hesitant to look at Lamar Jackson's offense. What were your guys' impressions seeing him for the first time this year? He's that dude. He looked phenomenal. He's the guy that we think he is. And he's gonna secure that bag as long as he doesn't get injured this year. Like I am all about, I love the risk he's taking on himself. Like I get it. I get it. Maybe it's not the smart money move, but he knows he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. And this was a good start to that campaign this year. It was a good start to show him that he deserves that money, whatever he wants in that contract. And I think he's gonna get it. I like just watching this game, this is a dude on a mission. I think he's gonna get it. Lamar Jackson became, and I liked him before, but he really did become one of my favorite players kind of overnight when he didn't get his contract and he showed up and he's like, look what I can do. And he showed it today, big time. I might buy a Lamar Jackson jersey. I mean, two of us on the show already have one in some fashion. I think Simon had to get on board. We need to get some Lamar Jackson. I have one too. It's not only framed when I have one. I know, that's what I said. Two people. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. The one thing I will say, there's some rumors that he might run a little less because of having the betting on himself and having a contract coming up after this. I don't buy that. I think the reason he didn't run much in this game is because he didn't have to. Six attempts on 17 yards was his entire rushing, you know, rushing this game. The Ravens had this game in hand the entire time. He's one of the smartest guys out there when it comes to taking hits. There's no concern for me when it comes to his rushing upside. So when we say 17 yards, like it wasn't a lot. Well, when we look at the entire Ravens rushing attack, it was almost 30% of their teams rushing yards, even with the game. That's a good point. 63 total rushing yards for this offense. Yeah. Mike Davis. Please come back, please. Mike Davis showed last year what he was. The two years ago in Carolina was a fluke. People were holding on to him and drafting him late this year in case J.K. Dobbins didn't start. They signed Kenyon Drake off the street, what, a week or so ago, and he got the most carries. If you're holding out any hope for Mike Davis, stop. It's not gonna happen. Yeah, I was wrong. I was wrong in this. I thought Mike Davis would be the featured back in this offense. He wasn't. Two attempts on, and for 11 yards, no touchdowns. Kenyon Drake had 11 attempts for 31 yards. So no touchdowns. He'll grow, he'll grow high school. Represent. He'll grow high school. He was clearly the guy in this backfield. So, you know, if J.K. Dobbins is out another week, pick up Kenyon Drake if he's available. I imagine that he's gonna be a major waiver wire target for a lot of people this week. Yeah, if he wasn't already drafted, people will be picking up Kenyon Drake. I agree. I was surprised not to see him more involved in the receiving game because we know that's a skill set that he has as well. It was one of his probably biggest pluses whenever he was coming into the league is that he was skilled as a receiver and we didn't really see that. Just one target in this game, but we'll see next week. Maybe Devin DuVernay can't soak up as many targets going into next week. I'll pick one. By the way, do not go chase Devin DuVernay's points. He does this. I would not go and spend a bunch of fab on him this week on Tuesday. If for some reason he becomes the consistent wide receiver three, by all means pick him up. That is not this week. We do not know that. Devin DuVernay was my like best ball darling earlier this spring. I'm not even gonna say summer. And I was taking him everywhere in best ball. And then I started really watching James Proshay and I was like, okay, it's not gonna be DuVernay's gonna be Proshay. They're both good. They're both good. They both do the same thing and it's the worst fantasy. It won't be anything. Devin DuVernay is the guy that like if a draft reached, like if I was in a deep league draft and we reached around 18, 19, I'd go, I don't know. I'll take DuVernay. No, I mean like, like I've seen him do some exciting stuff on a football field. I'll draft him, but I'm never gonna start him in the right weeks. Like it just won't happen. Yeah.  Before we move on, I just wanted to, yeah. So I saw a lot of people disappointed with Mark Andrews performance today, but he led the team in targets. He still got double digit points. That's exactly what you drafted him for. That's why you draft a guy like that as your tight end. If you would have caught one of those touchdowns, nobody would be saying anything about him. Don't worry about Mark Andrews at all. The next game we're gonna be talking about, we've got the Cleveland Browns, Carolina Panthers game. The Browns came out on top in a close one, 26-24. Yeah, on the Panthers side of the ball, Baker Mayfield did not look good. Granted, the first half was definitely ugly. And then he played a little better as the game went on. And it's kind of what I expected from Baker Mayfield. He got traded to the Panthers later in the off season. And then for the majority of training camp, he was splitting reps with the ones with Sam Darnold. Now Baker's at least going to be the starter for the first four weeks because Sam Darnold's on the pup. So it's gonna be a few weeks before we start talking about a potential QB shakeup in Carolina. Christian McCaffrey didn't really do much of anything either. He did get a touchdown, but only 33 yards on 10 carries, not what you're expecting when you draft a Christian McCaffrey early in, I mean, he was the top three pick in most drafts. He did have four targets, four catches, well, is it 20, excuse me, 24 receiving yards. Simon, we'll start with you. I know you've been a big CMC fan for a long time. You have any concern for him long-term? Long-term, no, but I mean, this isn't the CMC usage that we're used to seeing. Maybe this is indicative of the fact that he's not quite as healthy as we thought he was going into the season. Maybe they're still a little bit concerned about his injury or the more concerning option is that they want to keep him healthy. And so that his usage is going to be a lot more limited this year. But I think what this game is showing is this Panthers team needs Christian McCaffrey in order for this offense to run effectively. Like they need Christian McCaffrey heavily involved because they didn't look good for the vast majority of this game. I'm expecting Christian McCaffrey to get a lot more involved in this offense going forward if the Panthers want any chance at pulling out a couple of Ws this season. So yes, you're disappointed. No, don't panic. It's still Christian McCaffrey. He's still led the team in carries by a long shot and he's still got targeted in the receiving game. It's going to be okay. And he got you that touchdown. So disappointing, but fine, totally fine. Absolutely. Yeah. And speaking of receiving game, DJ Moore took a backseat to Robbie Anderson, the guy who was trashing Baker Mayfield all off season. But DJ Moore that six targets, three catches, 43 yards, not what you were hoping to see Joey. He did not double his Fandall stat line like you were you projected earlier in the day. But Robbie Anderson eight targets, five receptions, 102 receiving yards and a touchdown. Joey, we'll start with you on this is with, is there any concern for DJ Moore with Baker Mayfield? And is Robbie Anderson going to be a thing? I think yes. And wait, I'm not going to say yes and yes. I think that both of them can have a role on this team. I, you know, Robbie Anderson, he had a bad year last year. He didn't catch a lot of passes that were thrown this way, but it could have been who was throwing them. So, but I like DJ Moore still. I mean, he's still a top 15 wide receiver for me. And yeah, he did not double his, his yardage. Like I said, he was going to today, but did he covers? What was the original? No, it was 62. He didn't even do that. So don't listen to me. I don't know what I'm talking about. No, and the Brown secondary is a great secondary unit. You know what I mean? This isn't like, It's a great defense. It's a great defense. It's one of the elite secondary units. Top tier defense. Like DJ Moore is going to be fine. And I'm thinking, I'm thinking this was a Robbie Anderson strategy. He knows the kind of player Baker is. Baker loves to prove people wrong. You know what I mean? Like that's his whole MO. He's like, he's like, Oh, I'm going to prove him wrong. And Robbie was sort of like, Oh, I know how to get more targets this year. Like I know how to be the wide receiver one. I'm going to go out there and tell them that he's bad.  And the Baker becomes obviously like, Oh yeah, Robbie, I'll show you watch how good you are with me at quarterback. We might see this. Ball over the mountains. Now, like you guys said, Cleveland does have a fantastic defense. And I'm still somewhat optimistic about the Panthers offense because Cleveland did exactly what everybody expected them to do. They ran the ball 39 times. They played possession.  I still think Baker Mayfield can be a serviceable QB three slash bi-week super flex villain. So I think better days are ahead for the Panthers. Now on the other side of the ball, like I said, Jacobi preset looked pretty much what, how we expected him to look. It was ugly. He threw some ducks out there, man. Like I think my son threw the ball in the house harder than Jacobi preset was throwing it on the field. It was, He does, he does. He can definitely throw the football over the mountains. He's nothing more than a game manager. Pretty much exactly what we expected under 150 passing yards. One thing that was definitely positive for the Browns was cream hunt. He got usage in both the passing game and the rushing game. 11 carries for 46 yards and a rushing touchdown, four receptions on four targets, 24 yards and a receiving touchdown. JL, is cream hunt an every week starter from here on out? No, absolutely not. I mean, we've seen this, we've seen this year after year in that Cleveland Browns offense. They're going to use cream hunt on some games. They're going to use Nick Chubb on other games. Cream hunt is going to yield more value than you probably expect in fantasy and not enough to really put him in that category where it matters that much. So I think we're going to get what we've gotten. From what I saw today, the Browns are not shifting their running back strategy at all. They're keeping it the same. I tend to disagree a little bit. I do think cream hunt is a guy that like, maybe not something that you're forcing into your lineup every week, but I'd be fully comfortable putting cream hunt in that flex scene that they were using both guys. It's not like Nick Chubb wasn't used in this game. 22 carries, 141 yards on the ground. Cream hunt got the touchdowns, but you take away those touchdowns. You're still happy with him in the flex. We're talking, what is that? Almost 10 points, like if you throw him in the flex without either touchdown in a PPR league, that's a serviceable flex running back. And I think you're going to see him similarly involved throughout the rest of the season. So not a high upside guy, but a high upside guy, but someone who's got a decent floor in this offense as well. You literally agreed with everything I said. I don't know why you said you tend to disagree. Because you said, you said absolutely not. Is he an every week starter? And I think absolutely he should be an every week starter. I view as someone that you're starting every week. You have to start every week. I don't think you need to start cream hunting by any means. Gotcha. Let's hide over some antics for the next 10 minutes if you want to. Yeah. It's pronounced some antics actually. No, it's Simon ticks. Oh, you're right. Yeah, Nick Chubb looked great on the ground. He did what he always does. 141 yards, 6.4 yards per carry. He only had one target. That's the one thing why I kind of personally faded Nick Chubb this year, where he was going. I love him. I think you hear everybody say it on every show, every station. He is one of the, if not the best peer runner in the entire NFL, but he doesn't get the receptions. And Kareem Hunt was getting the work in the red zone. So I see Kareem Hunt, excuse me, Nick Chubb as a high-end RB2 versus an RB1. I think with Kareem Hunt on the field, it really caps his upside. Joey, what do you think? Absolutely, yeah. Kareem Hunt has always been for me like the lottery ticket. If Chubb goes down, you know, hunts an RB1, but why hunts on the field at the same token? Chubb can't, he can be an RB1, but he can't be that elite RB1 at the top. Even with 141 rushing yards, he needs that touchdown if he wants it. Touchdowns are receiving work. He's not getting either really. So. Yeah, yeah. He's got probably the safest floor out of just about any of the running backs, but his upside is capped with Kareem Hunt on the field, like I was saying. And the past catchers for Cleveland left a lot to be desired. Donovan Peoples-Jones led the team in targets with 11, six catches, 60 yards. Not much to get excited about. Kareem Hunt caught the only receiving touchdown. Simon, your boy, Amari Cooper. It was ugly. Six targets, three receptions, 17 total yards. What are you doing with Amari Cooper? Nothing, because I don't have him on a single fantasy team this year because this Cleveland Brown's offense looks exactly like I thought it was gonna look like. It is a rush heavy two-headed monster with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. That's how they wanna run this offense, especially with Jacobi reset for the first 11 weeks. So you're probably gonna get a lot more games like this. I don't expect Donovan Peoples-Jones to be the most heavily targeted player week in, week out. It'll probably be Amari Cooper as the most targeted player. And maybe he comes down with the receiving touchdown. You get a good week out of them. But games like this are gonna happen very frequently for these Cleveland wide receivers because if they can win on the ground, they're gonna do it. That's how they're gonna play the game. That's their preferred method of play and they can succeed with the lineup that they have. Yeah, absolutely. I'm with you on that. The next game we're gonna talk about, guys, we have the Philadelphia Eagles Detroit Lions game in this. Oh my God, 38-35 final score, the Eagles pulling away with the victory at the end. Just insane. I didn't expect what over 70 points to be scored in this game, 73 points between the two offenses. The first thing I wanted to touch on last year, I feel like we knew that this Philadelphia team was great at rushing the ball. We knew they had multiple people that could rush the ball and they liked spreading the ball around to different ball carriers as well. Just look at this box score, four rushing touchdowns, four different people punching one in. Miles Sanders, with the most carries of any, running back on the team, 13 carries, 96 yards and grabbing that touchdown. But Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott both punched one in as well this week. But Jaylen Hertz was the leading rusher. Jay, what are we doing with this backfield? Do you trust Miles Sanders? He did get the most carries here. I am a known Miles Sanders truther in the past. You can't trust him. You've seen this before, when he gets the carries, he looks great, 7.4 yards per carry. He was finally able to get in the end zone. But he got one touchdown when there were four on the ground. He's got two other capable running back mates. He's got Jaylen Hertz who is gonna take plenty of red zone looks. I think he's fine. He was basically free in just about every single draft. I think if you drafted him super late, you're happy. I see him more as a flex play versus an RB two. If you're fine throwing in your flex, I think you're good. But there's gonna be days, you know, if he didn't get in the end zone, it would have been ugly because he doesn't really get involved in the passing game a lot. That's pretty much Kenneth Gainwell's role. So he's fine. It's definitely encouraging, but I'm not trusting Miles Sanders whatsoever. Yeah, Joey, what about you? Do you have a more optimism for him? Are you feeling the same way about this Eagles backfield? So Miles Sanders was a player. I drafted as my RB two and three because I did a lot of hero RB this year, right? Took one RB and then went receiver for a while. So I am going to take Miles Sanders and I'm gonna trot him out and all my leagues there tomorrow and try to trade them. Honestly, for whatever I can get, if it's- Can you show us what that trot looks like, Joey? No, not at this moment. When I get like a wider camera, probably, or one that's like this, then I can. Maybe I'll go on TikTok and do it. No, I'm not gonna do it. So yeah, I'm actually okay with Miles Sanders the next few weeks, but if I can trade him, I really want to. That's fair. Jalen Hertz was the leading rusher in this game, though, from a Karrie's perspective, not meeting your eyes. 17 Karrie's 90 yards on the ground. He was 18 for 32 through the air for 243 yards. No touchdowns, no interceptions, but he did put up 24.72 points on FanDuel today and that was without a passing touchdown and without going over 250 passing yards, okay? So he was a very good quarterback option. He doesn't even need to throw the ball into the end zone to do that. This, I'm buying into the Jalen Hertz type.  He's going to be great for fantasy all season. And this game is showing you why. 90 yards on the ground, a touchdown. You don't even need to throw a touchdown if you're gonna be doing stuff like that. Call it now. He's gonna finish as the QB1 on the season. I love what I saw, you know, he was able to, you know, we know what he is on the ground rushing the ball, but 243 passing yards, he's gonna get some passing touchdowns in there. A.J. Brown, 13 targets, 10 receptions, 155 yards. A.J. Brown looked absolutely fantastic. He was at his best. That felt right. That felt right after saying it all off season. I was, when initially, the trade initially happened, I was down on A.J. Brown, but as I looked into it, saw the relationship, you know, the talk of Jalen Hertz improving this off season, I got more and more excited and got A.J. Brown in more places. So I'm, I, like I said, QB1 on the season, Jalen Hertz. That is bull. I like it, Jerry, but with what we saw today, it's definitely in the range of outcomes. Like he showed us enough today that that's something he can do. That's not an absurd take. And speaking of A.J. Brown, he had 13 targets, by far the most heavily targeted player in this game, a 45% target share in week one for A.J. Brown. Like it wasn't even close. Dude had almost 50% of the targets on this entire team. J.L.,  Is he gonna continue to be the one guy here for the Eagles? Like is this target share sustainable? Thank you for saying that, Simon. Feels good to finally be recognized for a take. You're welcome. Yeah, I think he is. I think he's clearly the one. As we see that, the next closest player with like the next closest number of targets on the team was four. There was four targets, was the next highest that we saw outside of A.J. Brown. He had 13 targets. That's fantastic. And in offense, it doesn't throw a lot. So, you know, this is, we've been talking about this all the last two weeks on our morning show and Coop brought it up. But forget the exact point you brought up. But the point is, if you're on a low volume offense, if you have a player, if you're fantasy manager, you have a player who's on a low volume offense, if they are the first or second option in that offense, you really don't have to worry too much because they're most likely gonna get all of that. Those fantasy points really funneled through them. I think A.J. Brown is going to be that guy on this offense. I do think Devonta Smith will come back and have hopefully better games, zero receptions on four targets. Yeah, he did nothing. He did absolutely nothing. That's pretty weird to see. I do think he'll have a bigger role, but I think A.J. Brown is the guy here. I don't think Devonta Smith is gonna be able to surf plant in. If you look at my notes for this game, I just have A.J. Brown is that dude. That, I saw that. Anyone who doubted him, like, God, he just is that dude. Exactly who you think he is. Can you hit 150 yards? Like, you're that dude.  Okay, 100 is impressive. 150, yeah. 10 catches too. I'll take it all day long. Yeah, he did his best. He has 10 points right there. That's absolutely beautiful right there. On the other side of the ball, Jared Goff looked like Jared Goff. He had decent numbers through the hair, right? But it's Jared Goff. I think it's exactly what I expected from him. Jamal Williams came out with two touchdowns on 11 carries for 28 yards, but it's the two touchdowns. And that first one on the goal line is the one that scared me a little bit on those. Before we saw Deandre Swift really take off. But then, you know what? Deandre Swift came out and said, don't worry guys, I got you. 15 carries, 144 yards. A touchdown on the ground as well. Deandre Swift is what we thought he was in this offense. Adding three receptions for 31 yards as well. I think Jamal Williams is the guy that we need to talk about though. He got a little bit of that hard knocks bump in ADP towards the end of the season right there. And maybe it was worth it. Maybe it was earned for Jamal Williams. Joey, do you think he has a role, a consistent role in this offense? Obviously not a two touchdown game every week, but do you think he's worth having on your roster? I think he's worth having under the roster. But I will say that those Williams touchdowns seemed to come after Swift had a huge run each time. That's when he got on the field. Swift was on the sideline kind of catching his breath. I know for sure on the first one and that's when Williams ran it in. And I believe on the second one that happened too. So I think Deandre Swift on the end of the season will have more touchdowns than Jamal Williams. But I don't think Jamal Williams is either a bad backup running back to have on your bench or just a flex when bi-weath come around. Deandre Swift at 9.6 yards a carry today. Sustainable, right? Definitely sustainable. 9.6. I watched a lot of this game and Joey, you are right. I know definitely the first one and I think the second one too. But Jamal Williams was in there in the red zone even when they weren't able to punch it in. He was in there. Six attempts to Deandre Swift's two attempts in the red zone had one target compared to none for Deandre Swift in the red zone. I was very high on Deandre Swift this off season. He was one of my guys who I considered a much draft. I will say if this uses continues in the red zone for Jamal Williams, while I still think Deandre Swift is firmly in RB1 territory, I believe that he had top five upside. If Williams is getting those red zone touches, I think his ceiling is capped. You think Deandre Swift's ceiling is capped? If Jamal Williams continues to get the red zone work. I think he's got a safe floor.  The guy got over 20 points in 144 rushing yards. One touchdown, three catches, 31 yards. He had a fantastic game. But you throw one of those touchdowns from Jamal Williams to Deandre Swift, then you're talking a top three guy on the day. I'm too worried about his upside with 15 attempts for 144 yards. I think that's plenty of upside for Swift. Yeah, I tend to be more in line with you, Jail. I think Deandre Swift is the main guy in this offense. It's not a 1A, 1B scenario. It's a lead back and a backup. But this backup is a good running back so they'll probably get them involved. Mr. Scampers had a really great point here, grapes. That's a really great point, Mr. Scampers. We did not consider that. So Albert had a question for us while we were talking about Miles Sanders and potentially trying to trade them. Albert wanted to know, would you trade Miles Sanders for James Robinson? Joey, what about you? No, and I understand James Robinson had two touchdowns today, but I'm holding on to Miles Sanders for James Robinson. No, I'm not making that trade. Me neither. I would not make that trade either. Not at all. And then DIR Logistics in here asking you, Jace, are you saying to trade Swift high? No, not at all. I just, I think it's more of my own personal bias where I think Deandre Swift top three potentially RB won on the season. If Williams continues to get those touchdowns, then that's a little papped. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. Maria, what's up? Welcome in, Maria. I said, what did I miss? Only a couple of things. Nada. Jay was wearing a hat and then he took it off. That is true. And Joey wasn't wearing a shirt, but then he put one on. So that's what you've missed so far. A couple of wardrobe changes on this one. As far as the receivers go for Detroit, I think there was a little bit of a question. We assumed Amon Ross St. Brown would probably be the lead receiver with rookie Jameson Williams, not yet active. But DJ Chark was the, I don't want to say surprised because he's been getting that camp hype, that pre-season hype, but he came out and he showed up. He did what, what they said he was going to do during this off season, eight targets, four receptions, 52 yards and a touchdown. Jail, you buying into DJ Chark as the wide receiver too here in this Detroit offense? Ah, I hate this.  And I don't like DJ Chark. I don't want him to be successful. What did he do to you? Out. I just don't want him to be successful. I don't think he is that talented. But yeah, I mean, I think he's the wide receiver too on this offense. I think the bar is extremely low. You know, I don't think it takes much to be the wide receiver too on the Detroit Lions offense. Yeah, I think you can start DJ Chark until Jameson Williams is back. I'm fine plugging him in in the flex. Jay, you don't think so? No, I mean, he really needs that. Yeah, but do you really want the wide receiver too on the Lions when you also have DeAndre Swift and TJ Hawkinson? Like, they're pretty much the de facto second option in this passing game. So I think in a pinch, you get their own minute flex, but I don't see Jared Goff really supporting, you know, the fourth option in the passing game. If he's the number two. Yeah, I think you can play him. And I think you should probably roster him. I don't think you're going to get even 13 fantasy points, which is what he got this week. I think Simon said stat line before receptions on eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown. He's not going to get that touchdown every week. And so I don't think you're going to be able to trust him. Yeah, I'm with you guys. But certainly worth rostering. We're going to move on to our next game. This was another exciting one. We're going from probably the two most exciting games on that early slate. The Saints Falcons game, which was definitely a tail of two halves. The Saints coming out on top 2726 in this one. Yeah, I'm glad you said a tail of two halves because that was going to be my intro to this because it really wasn't a tail of two halves. It was a tail of three quarters and then a quarter. At about the beginning of the fourth quarter mark, James Winston went into the medical tent and it might as well have been a phone booth because he came out as Superman. He went insane in the fourth quarter. And that's what James Winston does. He had two touchdowns on Michael Thomas in the fourth quarter, leading the drive to end up winning the game. So this season, do you think we see more of the first three quarter, James, or the fourth quarter, James? I think you see the whole game, James. That's pretty much as a Buck and Ears fan, you know better than anybody. That's what James Winston has been his whole career. I think you're going to have the highs. I think you're going to have the lows. And if Michael Thomas is able to stay on the field, I think James is going to be a rock solid QB2 for Super Flex Leagues. Yeah, rock solid. Rock solid. You'll hear me say that a few more times. Yes. That's my go-to line. As someone that watched James play with the Bucks, interceptions was his big problem. But last year, he didn't really have a problem with interceptions and then he got injured. But in today's game, he didn't have one either. So do you think that's going to be common for him, that he's going to have a lot less picks this year, or do you think it will revert back to old James? I think it's part of the game plan here, right? I don't think we're seeing James Winston chuck the ball around quite as much as we did in Tampa Bay. And I know we meme about Lasek James all the time, right? But this is another season of evidence. If he continues putting this together that post-Lasek, I know is at the same time as he switched teams, but there could be some truth to that affecting his game play as well. I'm expecting lower interception totals from him compared to some of those full seasons we saw with the Bucks, but we'll still get some classic James interceptions this season. He is who he is. Excellent, yeah. So you'll notice on the stat sheet there, Tayson Hill has four carries for 81 yards in a touchdown. Now that's very frustrating, but I did go around to the different sites and I did check and Tayson Hill on Yahoo and Sleeper does have tight end eligibility.  Simon's face says it all.  I thought with Sean Payton leaving this team with Tayson Hill's daddy calling it quits, that we are going to see the end of the Tayson Hill gadget player all over the field era, but no, they plugged him in a quarterback. They had him running the ball. It seems like it's going to just be more Tayson Hill nonsense all season. Yeah, you can play him at tight end. He's a cheat code. If he does end up getting quarterback snaps at tight end, that's absolutely a cheat code, but we probably don't see it every week. We probably don't see him in there every single week getting those snaps. So it's a little bit of a gamble. It's a, does he get them? And does he do something with them? Because it was limited snaps at quarterback as well. We just got lucky that he ran one of them in for a touchdown that he started them, but man, the volume is not consistent enough. His usage isn't consistent enough, but if you're in a real pinch, yeah, throw him in. He could get a touchdown. He could throw one in or rush one in. Yeah, that 57-yard run, it did catch the Falcons on the heels. Like I think it caught everyone on their heels watching at home.  Like, yeah, the Falcons were like, this guy's still playing for the Saints? Exactly. But he was the top rusher for the Saints on the day. When Alvin Kamara only had nine carries for 39 yards and three receptions for seven yards, not a very positive outlook for him. Do you think this is just like a shake the rust off game, Jail? For, I'm sorry, for who? Alvin Kamara. Alvin Kamara, yeah, absolutely. I mean, he had a lot of stuff going on in the off season. And this game was weird. This game was weird. I don't think anyone expected the Falcons to be able to hang in this game. Scott Fish did. He called me out personally about it on the show earlier in the week, yeah. He was saying that, because I was saying James Linson's going to light up the Falcons the whole game. And Scott Fish was like, nope, their defense is really good. And for three quarters, Scott Fish was exactly right. For three exact quarters, he was exactly right, absolutely. Yeah, no, Kamara getting the bulk of the attempts here makes me, is what I expected. I'm not surprised by that. It's what I expected, but with Mark Ingram there, you know, he could have seen that change, but he got the bulk of the carries in this game. And I think that we'll have better games ahead for fantasy. Jay, anything to add? Yeah, I actually, I'm the opposite of Jail. I am concerned about Alvin Kamara. While he did get the nine carries and leave the backfield, like you don't draft Alvin Kamara for his uses as a running back. You get hit, you draft Alvin Kamara for his targets. And he only had four. Joann Johnson had more targets than he did.  Chris O'Lave is a wide receiver. No, I know, I know.  It's been what he's able to do in the receiving game. So I am a little concerned with the usage. Hopefully it's just one game. I'm not saying it's time to panic or anything like that, but it's concerning to not see him get a high number of targets. Just look at this game. Like I don't think it's a coincidence that Kamara was used low and that the Saints needed 17 points in the fourth quarter to win this game, right? That's a game you would expect him to get a lot of targets if they're down. Right. And I'm saying he didn't and it didn't go well. This game did not go well for Alvin Kamara or for the Saints as a whole. They did pull out the W, but this is a game that they were fairly heavily favored in. What was the line on this one? Five and a half points for the Saints at the Falcons, right? So on the road, five and a half point favorites, maybe they thought they wouldn't need to use Kamara as much in this game. Like Jayle mentioned, he had the off-season stuff going on. Like maybe that was part of the game plan, but I think this shows like they need Alvin Kamara. Just like the Panthers need Christian McCaffrey for this offense to function. He's going to get a full work load. I would bet next week we see Alvin Kamara, put everyone who's worried, put their minds at ease. As far as the receivers, Jarvis Landry kind of showed out for the whole game, although Michael Thomas came in in the fourth quarter.  Jay, between these two receivers, who are you wanting most on your teams this year? Landry or Thomas? I've got to go Michael Thomas. While I wasn't necessarily somebody who bought back in, I think you have to be encouraged. One by the, you know, James looked for him in the clutch and Jarvis Landry in PPR Leagues is the guy. He's the safe, he's going to be the safety blanket for James, you know, seven catches, 114 yards. You love to see it, but I like the big playability of Michael Thomas. Yeah, I'm hoping James, you know, in this, in the fourth quarter, he found a new toy in Michael Thomas and that we see more of that. Going to the other side with the Falcons, it really is kind of a two-headed monster for the Falcons today between, with Marcus Mariota, having 215 yards passing, but then 72 yards rushing with a rushing touchdown in two quarterbacks league. Is Marcus Mariota somebody you're wanting to grab if he's not already gone? Joe? He's got to be already drafted, right? Not necessarily, more of a QB3, bi-week replacement. No, I think he's worth, I mean, I just drafted Mariota in a league, I think it was a redraft, Super Flex League, maybe last week. And so I think Marcus Mariota is going to be able to return fantasy value this season. I think he'll be able to make it happen. I don't think he'll be a top guy, but certainly enough to, I mean, exactly what we saw today, 19.8 fantasy points is fantastic for a guy you've probably gotten in the later rounds. And you have to be encouraged with the usage too. He had his best seasons with Arthur Smith as his offensive coordinator in Tennessee, so he knows how to use Marcus Mariota and you saw him used on the ground as well. So it's definitely encouraging. Yeah, with the Tyler Algier, he was out today. I was pretty encouraged with Cordell Patterson and what he did today. It seemed like other than Mariota, the offense was really running through him. Simon, are you feeling good, throwing him in your lineups going forward? Oh yeah, yeah, I felt great throwing him in my lineups this week and I'm gonna feel great about it going forward. Now, we may see what we saw last year. He's an older running back and if he's gonna get 22 carries a week, I just don't think he can maintain that volume and stay healthy for an entire 17 game season. So don't be surprised if we see kind of like a back end of the season tail off like we saw last year. Like we saw last year with Cordell Patterson. But for now, for these first seven, eight weeks, plug Cordell Patterson in your lineup and just go right ahead. And what's super encouraging is he did a lot of his damage on the ground today where last year he made most of his money through the receiving game last year. I was gonna say the same thing. Yo, if we can get Cordell Patterson with 100 receiving yards or 100 rushing yards and throw seven receptions on top of there in future games, like, man, we may just, this may be the one that a lot of people are looking back on like, how the hell did we miss on Cordell Patterson again? Like they added- Yeah, that's how I feel right now. Hey, I've been drafted all the time. Watching this game today, I was sitting there just going, he's gonna do it again.  Last season he had two games. His highest targeted games throughout the whole season, 16 targets today, 20, I'm sorry, not targets, but to that rushing attempts. His highest game last year was with 16 rushing attempts. He got 22 today. 22 today, that's fantastic. That's crazy, yeah. Probably the most disappointing thing of the day was Kyle Pitts with two receptions, 19 yards. I see this as a major outlier for his season. I know Drake London had a good day in his rookie performance, but I'm hoping Kyle Pitts has a better week next week. Simon, you think it's just to shake the rest off for Kyle Pitts? Kyle Pitts, he's the best player on this team. He'll get his. It's just a bad week for him. We knew this was gonna happen. We knew this was gonna happen again with Kyle Pitts because he's not on offense. It's gonna funnel the ball to him so much that he is going to be consistent every weekend and week out. We were all drafting Kyle Pitts as the guy who was gonna have these big plays because the opportunity is there, but they're gonna be games that are not gonna use him. Yep, still tied up for the team leading targets, but seven targets, no concern for Kyle Pitts. Absolutely. We're gonna move on to our next game. We've got Jaguars at commanders. The commanders were three points favorites in this one. And this was a fairly close game as well, but the commander's coming out on top. This game was wild. This to me was probably the most fun game to watch of the day. I just kept coming back to it. The Washington came out to an early lead. Early lead, they were going into half. They were, it was 14 to three. Washington was leading. And then Jacksonville came back and the commanders had to fight their way back to win this game. It was fun. It was fun on both sides of the ball. Let's start on the Washington side. Yes, please. I knew you'd want to do that. There's just, I just like, God, they, I don't, I think we underestimated as a whole how good this receiving core is for Washington. Oh my God, yeah. Holy cow, not just Terry McClure, but just as a whole, this receiving core is disgusting. It's beautiful. Yeah, yeah. Jahan Dotson looked fantastic. So starting at the top, Carson went through 27 completions on 41 attempts, 303 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. He did have two interceptions, but he finished the week with 29.7 fantasy points, which is very good, very good for Carson Wentz. Great job, gold star for him. The receiving. Go ahead. Just for some context, was so far, there's still game left to be played, but as far as values go on Fandall, he returned 4.37X his value today. The highest of any quarterback in the league. The highest going quarterback on, or no, sorry, Patrick Mahomes is currently ahead of him. There's a couple of guys, but the biggest return on value though, Patrick Mahomes was trying his best to catch him, even being one of the most expensive quarterbacks. Yeah. I thought I was going to have chicken for dinner tonight, but I ate a lot of crow. Cause I was, I was dogging. I was dogging Carson Wentz really bad. Dogging Carson. Yeah. Yeah, Eden crow. We had a from the, on the receiving side, we had Jahan Dotson get five targets, three receptions for 40 yards and two TDs. God, John Dotson. Welcome to the NFL. Look good. Welcome to the freaking NFL. Curtis Samuel, 11 targets, eight receptions, 55 yards and a touchdown. Welcome back to the NFL, Curtis Samuel. Yes. Terry McLaurin, he had four targets, two reception, 58 yards and a touchdown. Everybody got a touchdown this game, apparently. Out of these wide receivers, those three I just mentioned, Dotson and Samuel are both not top drafted guys, right? You probably got them later on in your drafts. After watching that game today, are you guys moving them up in your rest of season rankings? Samuel and Dotson. I think you have to. I mean, it depends where you had them, but I do think you had to. I know, especially Curtis Samuel, the 11 targets are hard to ignore. I know the two touchdowns for Jahan Dotson is the exciting one, right? But it was off of five targets. Yeah, you can't expect two touchdowns off of five targets. But what I did see from him, there's a reason he got those two touchdowns. He looked great out on the field, but Curtis Samuel getting 11 targets is impossible to ignore. It seems like he's going to be a, like a key part of this offense going forward. And he looked good with the targets that he got out there. Yeah, I was super high on Curtis Samuel last year. And today I was just like, I was just a year late. That's all, that's all it is. I was right. I was just a year late. He looked. A year early. A year early. No, Curtis Samuel was a year late, is what it was. That's what I meant. You were right on time. I follow you, exactly. Yeah, I'm moving Curtis Samuel up more than I am Dotson. I love Dotson. With the talent, we knew this was possible with him, but he only had five targets. The 11 targets for Curtis Samuel, plus what he could do out of the backfield. He had four carries. He's got those skills like a Debo Samuel. So we could see a big season from Curtis Samuel, who was practically free. Practically free, practically free. All right, moving on to the other side of this game, the other team, Jacksonville. Jacksonville Jaguars. We had Trevor Lawrence come out 24 completions on 42 attempts, 275 yards, and a touchdown, one interception. James Robinson. He was in this game. He played this game, guys. 11 attempts, 66 yards, and a touchdown. He was heavily involved. I missed on this one. I missed on this one. I didn't think James Robinson would be as heavily involved as he was. Travis Etienne, he had four attempts of 47 yards, no rushing touchdowns. And in the receiving game, James Robinson got two targets, one reception for a touchdown. Etienne got four targets for two receptions and 18 yards, no touchdowns. What are you guys thinking after watching this first week with Travis Etienne and James Robinson? Is James Robinson going to be a thorn in the side of ETN managers? Should they adjust how they were, how they're planning to use him this season? Or is Etienne gonna be a thorn in the side of Robinson manager? Maybe. That's what it looked like today. I'm not going that far, but I will say James Robinson. I drafted a lot of James Robinson late this year, not because I thought he was gonna be the dude. I thought Travis Etienne was, but we've seen James Robinson perform at a high level in the NFL, and it looks like the Jaguars know that. They know he's a good running back, and they're gonna continue to use him. We'll probably see, Jail, it's like he said, it's gonna be rough for both of these guys, it seems like. They have two great running backs in this offense, and they're gonna use both of them all season. So James Robinson got the touchdowns today, easily could go ETN's way in another week. He looked great. He looked electric with the ball on his hands on the field. So I'm not too worried about him because he looked good. James Robinson got the CDs, but he looked great. He looked so good. And I tweeted this out earlier because I was watching the game and he missed on like three or four big plays. And it was just narrow miss. Like Trevor Lawrence missed him in the end zone. He overthrew it as a bad throw. Nothing ETN could have done, but it would have been a touchdown for ETN. There was a couple other plays like that. One was a more ETN's fault. I keep blanking on it right now. But man, as soon as we start to see that connection, I feel like it's gonna be really exciting. I was encouraged from what I saw today, despite James Robinson's use. Yeah, absolutely.  Yes, yeah, absolutely. And then in the wide receiver core, we had Christian Kirk had 12 targets, six receptions for 117 yards. He was clearly the guy in this offense. The next targeted wide receiver, Marvin Jones Jr. He had six targets, four receptions for 38 yards. Yeah, you're absolutely right, I missed him. Z Jones had nine targets, six receptions for no touchdowns. Are you guys a little more interested after seeing Christian Kirk this week? I know he's been... Targets a game, absolutely. Yeah. I mean, give me that all day long. And Trevor Lawrence did not look great today. Yeah, he made some plays, but like he said that every time I saw, I turned on this game, it felt like Trevor Lawrence was overthrowing somebody, or it was just, it wasn't that pretty. I didn't watch the whole game, so I can't speak to it completely, but I mean, he obviously locked on to Christian Kirk. They paid him a lot of money. If he's gonna be that guy, volume is king in fantasy footballing right now, Christian Kirk's getting it. So absolutely, I think he's locked in as wide receiver two status. Absolutely, yeah. And I mentioned this morning, I was kind of interested to see what was gonna happen with Z Jones, and I'm gonna be adding him this week in some leagues. I liked what I saw to Z Jones, and he's gonna get used that way. Before we move on to our next game, I saw a question here from Eshawn, wanting to know Godwin or Heidi, and then clarify, Judy, Godwin, Judy.  It's Judy for me. Well, I'm waiting for you guys. Chris Godwin, I wanna see him. I wanna see him healthy and on the field. Now that could blow up in your face. Chris Godwin is the kind of guy who could just go out there and have a massive performance. We just saw Michael Thomas do it on limited snaps for the New Orleans Saints, right? There's no reason Chris Godwin can't do that as well in what should be a high-scoring game, but you gotta take Jerry Judy whenever you don't know how involved Chris Godwin's gonna be. I agree. One of my favorite statements that I've been keep saying is I like the situation you're in. I like the choice you have here, like Godwin or Judy. I think you're gonna end up good either way, but I would go Judy. The Steelers ended up pulling this game out in overtime 23 to 20. Neither team wanted to win this game. This was intense. Yeah, it was for the band kicker's movement. This was the perfect game to watch. Joe Burrow did, you know, and I'll say, yes, he had five turnovers, four interceptions gave up a fumble, but you have to be encouraged that he was able to have the type of fantasy day he did after having five turnovers. Yeah, four interceptions. And some of those were bad, some of them were ugly, but there was others too that went through the hands of receivers and stuff like that.  It was a solid yet unspectacular day on the ground for Joe Mixon, gotta love the 27 carries. He had 82 yards, did not get a touchdown though. What was extremely encouraging to see was his usage in the passing game. Everybody said, oh, Joe, Joe Mixon isn't gonna see the targets. Well, yeah, nine targets, seven catches, 63 yards. Jail, I'm gonna throw it to you first. Mixon continues to be involved in the passing game. Where do you see him finishing as in the running back ranks? Oh, freaking sky's the limit for Joe Mixon. 27 attempts, 82 yards, and then you throw in some receiving work. That's beautiful. That's exactly what you wanna see, especially any sort of PPR, half PPR formats. That's gonna be huge. If they're able to use him continually using this way and he can stay healthy, this is gonna be a great season for Joe Mixon again. I think he can finish just the RB one overall. I think he absolutely has that within his Rumble possibilities, range of possibilities. Yeah, this is the numbers that makes that possible. Like 100%, I'm with you, Jail. He could. Yeah, I'm with you. And the uses last year with Joe Mixon wasn't awful. He did get you some in the passing game. So that was one of my favorite things about him this year. If they just bumped him up a little bit, like you said, the sky's the limit. T. Higgins got knocked out early with a concussion. Jamar Chase had a very Jamar Chase game. Ten receptions, 129 yards and the game tying touchdown with two seconds left. Not really much more to say about the bingles. We'll hop over to the stealer side of things. Trevisky looked like Mitch Trevisky.  Didn't break the 200 yard threshold. He did have one passing touchdown to Najihara.  Najihara's left this game as of me writing these notes. They did not designate what the injury was. I heard that he did leave the stadium in a boot and the talk so far is a high ankle sprain which will have him out for, if that is the case, a couple of weeks and could linger for the entire season. What's your interest level in who the backup, Jalen Warren and Joey will start with you. I mean, if Najihara is not playing there in Pittsburgh, I might just be staying away from anyone. I might be trying to get rid of my stealers players to be honest with you, other than Friar Mooth. All of them, yep. Maybe not Pickens in Dynasty or Deontay. But yeah. Let's clear out the whole team. Don't use all of them. Let's get them out of here. Get Pickett in there. Let's see what we got. No, I, you know, it needs a body but I'm not that interested in Jalen Warren. Yeah, I'm with you on that.  And when someone goes down, they just take the next guy up, plug them in and give them all the carries. Like I know today was a slightly weirder game. We had the quarterbacks a little bit more involved. Chase Clayton involved in the rushing game as well. But I have to believe that whoever that backup guy is, is gonna get the work. Like that's just how the stealers have operated for as long as I can remember watching them. Now this is a bad offensive line. But I'm taking a shot on picking up that guy, whoever the next guy is. Yeah, a bad offensive line. And right now it's even though they scored 23 points, it's a bad offense with Mitch Trabisky under center. I agree with you, Simon, what you said, volume is king in fantasy. But that was with Ben Rothsberger in his prime. That's the type of offense you were getting when you had James Conner come in and have that monster season. When you had, well, does the Angela Williams come in and do the same thing in the placement. So while I agree, I think he's somebody that you do have to pick up. I would not break the bank. I wouldn't use a ton of fab. I wouldn't use a high waiver priority. I'd throw a couple of bucks and see if you're able to snag him. And let's see, for the past catcher, as Friar Muth was getting a lot of looks, I think he's somebody that you have to be interested in. You have to be happy while Mitch Trabisky is under center granted, five catches, 75 yards, not too bad. Chase Claypool, you got to love the carries that he had out of the backfield, six for 36. Maybe he gets somewhere after that.  There you go. With Najee getting hurt, maybe he gets some more usage. Chase Claypool, somebody I was banging the drum for all off season, simply because of the price. You could get him at the end of draft, some places I saw him go literally in the last round. I think he's somebody you should keep your eye on. Deiate Johnson, even though he didn't have a great game, 12 targets, seven catches, almost had a touchdown. I think he's somebody, I think he's perfectly fine the rest of the season, especially as Mitch Trabisky gets comfortable and Kenny Pickett comes along. Yeah. Sunday night football has started. I know everybody wants to go watch the Bucks Cowboys game right now. So we're going to let you guys go before we go one more stat from week one. I think it's the most important stat. I just want to project a stat line forward for you guys, okay? Okay. OJ Howard of the Texans is currently on pace for 34 targets, 34 receptions and 34 touchdowns. Do with that, what you will. With what you will. Do with that, what you will. And I see CP, the goldfish, what's up goldfish? They're going to forget this in three seconds, even for answer, right? Also, did you guys talk about Antonio Gibson and JD on Washington? Gibson got a lot of passes. That seems encouraging. Jay, are you encouraged by Gibson seeing that passing downs work? You have to, especially with, you know, all the talk about Brian Robinson this off season and then the unfortunate incident with him. It really kind of gave Antonio Gibson another shot of returning the value. If she continues to get this passing work. Now it does sound like Brian Robinson is going to be able to return earlier than many people anticipated, but you have to be excited for what Antonio Gibson did today, especially where you were able to get him in drafts later in the summer. Yeah. One last thing before we go guys, we're going to pick winners of this game tonight. So Cowboys, Buccaneers, Joey, who you got? I can't, I can't pick against the Bucs. I'm taking the Buccaneers. Jay, that's my team. I will also go Buccaneers. I have concerns about the Cowboys. Jay? You know what? Give me the Cowboys. Thank God you did it, or I was going to do a just me day from you guys. Give me the Buccaneers. Yeah, part of the kids. Yeah, this is going to be, Adam always bet, right? Whoever loses has to do an Adam always next week. Exactly, that's true. Three of us will be doing animal noises, or Jay will be doing his best animal noise. So make sure you guys come back here next week at 7 p.m. Eastern time, bring your fantasy questions from throughout the day, and break down those days games with us. And then this Thursday at 5 p.m., 5 to 6 p.m., we are live right back here on Fandals YouTube channel, playing games at the front yard fantasy hour. So come hang out with us then. Until then though, we are out of here. Enjoy your Sunday night football. Happy week one, everyone. We'll see you later. Bye.


While walking through Wyoming's woods or your damp lawn in early spring, you may encounter a mushroom. Many people think, ew, gross. Thinking something is diseased or something is wrong. However, mushrooms are just fungi and perform a job that no one else wants to do. A fungus, or fungi in the plural tense, are members of a large group of organisms that include yeast, mold, and the more familiar mushrooms. Most fungi are very inconspicuous because of their small size and lifestyles. Many live in soil, on dead matter, and in mutual relationships with other organisms. They typically are only visible when they are fruiting, either as mushrooms or molds. Wyoming is home to many fungi species. Fungi can be found statewide. When looking for fungi to observe, the easiest place to see these organisms is in moist areas with lots of dead or decaying plant material. Fungi play a very important role in the ecosystem. They are a major decomposer and are essential to the nutrient cycling process. So the next time you see a mushroom, don't say ew gross, but remember that it is quite possibly breaking down larger material into nutrients that other organisms need.
