 An AFC South showdown between the Indianapolis Colts and the Tennessee Titans is what's on tap here on Thursday night football. Speaking of the Indianapolis Colts that Colts offense, are they the reason why the Colts have not made that extra push in the playoff race in the AFC? Could they be to blame Philip Rivers as well and the reason why this Colts offense is doing so poorly? We're going to be discussing them and breaking them down as well as other teams that are in position to make the NFL playoffs. However, if COVID-19 were to ruin anything this whole entire 2020 season more than it already has, what is the emergency plan that the NFL has in place that they voted on all the NFL owners this past week? We're going to be discussing that, giving you a little bit more detail on that. Alex Smith made a hurrow come back and is now the quarterback of the Washington football team for the rest of the way. However, after the season, what is next for the 36 year old quarterback? We're going to be discussing him and much more as well as week 10 news and notes around the league all on this brand new episode of time to football. Glad you guys are joining us here on this wonderful Thursday night pregame show. My name is Sasan Khan, the host of this show. I just mentioned the topics that we're going to be talking about, but first before we get into it, I have to get something off my chest. I just have to vent. It's about fantasy football. For you guys that have suffered through injuries, through COVID-19, change around some bi weeks here and there, please sympathize with me. If you're watching this video as we premiere this on Thursday and you guys are chatting with us, leave your comments. Have injuries ruin your playoff hopes and fantasy football because for me it has. It has my team because all the injuries that I've had, first, let me start off by saying who my players were. Number one overall pick, Saquon Barkley. Number two overall pick, Odio Beckham Jr. Number three overall pick, Levy on Bell. My three rounds, my top three rounds, top three picks, those players had Debo Sammy on my team. Had Dallas Goddard drafted Devon Singletary to be a flex player, nothing more. Now I have to start him as an RB one. Had Corey Davis, but I had to drop him because of the bi week. With the NFL change around the bi weeks, he was on the reserve list for COVID-19. Had to drop him. It's terrible. I was three and five going through this past Sunday. I knew that I had no chance or very little chance to make the NFL playoffs or the fantasy football playoffs, but I thought maybe there is a chance. I have to win out, go eight and five. I can make it. Sunday night football, New Orleans Saints, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 31 to three is the score. My opponent has Drew Brees. All I had to hope for was that Brees would score less than 21.56 fantasy points. 31 to three, ball in the three yard line. You have nothing to lose. Why are you keeping Brees in the game? It's the fourth quarter. Why you throw touchdown pass? Just running in with Taysum Hill or Alvin Camara. Second down. Don't throw it. Don't run up the score. Instead, Sean Payton calls a play. Slant pass to Josh Shale for a touchdown and I ended up losing my game by 0.12. Now I'm three and six and I have a minimal chance of making the fantasy football playoffs. It's not going to happen. I've accepted it. What a season. What a season. If you guys have any stories like this where you just lose by three passing yards like I did or literally two rushing yards, if Jordan Howard just had two more rushing yards, if Levy on Bell just had two more rushing yards, if Harrison Butker didn't miss his extra points, I would have won. For you guys that have stories like that, leave your comments in the chat. I really want to sympathize with you and sympathize with me because it's a part of fantasy football. It's been fun. It's been fun this year, but wow, those injuries. Those injuries do not play around. Whatever. I'm still having fun playing in the loser's bracket. We play for a draft position next year, so there's still some hopes and dreams for my league and my record. But anyways, like I mentioned, we have many topics that we want to talk about on this brand new episode of Time 2 Football. But first, before we get into it, whether you're listening on the podcast app, whether you're watching this video as we premiere it live on YouTube, you know what we do if you're a weekly listener, weekly watcher. We have to name the most, we have to give out the most prestigious award on the show, the hungriest player of the week. Hungriest player of the week, the one that wanted it the most. My hungriest player of the week award, not the check-downs. Hungriest player of the week. Seriously, go to Instagram, type in the check-down and comment below on their hungriest player of the week awards, their post, and say, bro, Time 2 Football created that award in 2013. Very original for you to steal it. That was my weekly reminder that it's my award. Anyways, my hungriest player of the week goes to a man that many people probably aren't talking about, a little bit underneath the radar. He's third in the NFL in sacks this season. It's not Miles Garrett. Okay, it's not JJ Watt, none of these notable defensive ends. It's a guy on the New Orleans Saints. No, it's not Cam Jordan. Trey Hendrickson is this week's hungriest player of the week. Listen, two sacks against Tom Brady, both of them being back-to-back plays. He led this amazing Saints defense against this high-powered Buccaneers offense and limited the Buccaneers to just three offensive points, just a field goal by Ryan Suckup. That's it. That's all he allowed. Two sacks, two quarterback hits, two tackles for loss, and it was one of the main reasons why this defensive line, along with people like Cam Jordan, like Marcus Davenport, and so many more people on this defense, why they played so well. So, Trey Hendrickson came out with a quote later on being asked, he's third in the NFL in sacks. This is what his response was. The work is not done. We're only eight games in. Talking about how he wants to be the sack leader. The work is not done. We're only eight games in. I'm hungry. Oh, that's it. Ladies and gentlemen, that's it. I'm hungry. The hungriest player of the week goes to you, Trey Hendrickson, the one that wanted it the most, the underdog, the person that nobody is talking about. You said yourself that you're hungry, and that's why I'm going to reward you as the hungriest player of the week. Congratulations, Trey Hendrickson and that Saints team for taking the lead in the NFC South. First off, we want to start off the topic in the show with some week 10 news around the NFL. We're going to start doing this every single week going into the Sunday slate of games or actually tonight is the start of week 10. We just want to give you some rapid fire news and notes that's going around the NFL. So, starting off with some week 10 news, we've got Christian McCaffrey. He got a second opinion on his right shoulder. He might actually play in week 11. So, that's some news for you guys. I have those Christian McCaffrey on the fantasy football team. I actually had Mike Davis on my team. I traded for him when he started doing terribly. Of course, I have the worst luck, but I have Mike Davis on my fantasy team, and then when Christian McCaffrey came back last week, I traded away Mike Davis. I was like, you know what? I don't need him anymore. I reached out to the guy that had Christian McCaffrey as a running back on his team, and I was like, do you need Mike Davis to be your handcuff? All right, I will take an up-and-coming running back. Maybe Cam Akers. Cam Akers might pop off. It might be a starting running back in LA. So, you try to make Cam Akers for Mike Davis. That was my thinking, and now Christian McCaffrey has hurt again. So, after this week, if you don't need Mike Davis anymore, go reach out to the person that owns Christian McCaffrey. Be like, listen, this is a very valuable handcuff. You want this guy and try to get the most out of him and trade him away. So, just some tips and tricks for you. Justin Jackson, the LA Chargers running back, more than likely will not play as a quote and stated by Anthony Lin, the head coach of the Chargers. So, if he is more than likely not going to play, meaning he's not going to suit up this Sunday, then this running back by committee approach will definitely be intact for the LA Chargers. I'm talking about guys like Kailin Belage who had 15 carries last week, Josh Kelly who people had high hopes for, but now he goes down in the depth chart. Tremaine Pope is going to come back from a concussion. They're going to run a running back by committee approach. So, if you're, I know Miami's defense gives up a lot of points to running backs, but it's going to be a cluster, you know what, and that Chargers running back committee. The weekend is playing the Super Bowl halftime show. I actually, no lie, I thought the weekend was a band for the first time, the first time I ever heard them. I thought, oh, this band sounds pretty nice. My wife, my hot brunette wife was like, oh, no, this is actually a guy, just one guy. Okay, so I'm excited to see this band perform on the Super Bowl halftime show in front of no crowd. T.Y. Hilton has a chance of playing it tonight, it's a game against the Tennessee Titans. Listen, he's over, he's due for a big game. He really is. Did it number one target for the Colts for Phillip Rivers? It, you know, it could be the running backs on like Naheem Hines, he likes to dump it off to the backs, tight ends. Yeah, but the receiver T.Y. Hilton, he has a chance of popping off against this poor secondary. Chane Galey, the offensive coordinator for the Dolphin says that Tua Tugoviloa looks like his Alabama form. Big words coming from the offensive coordinator down in Miami. He's been looking good, Tua has at least on that game against Arizona. Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, stated that he will not draft a quarterback in the first round or actually with a high draft pick. So that could mean the first round or the second round. His words, Dak is our quarterback. Whenever had some successful surgery, had great, is doing really well in rehab. So Dak is expected to be fully healthy by the time that the offseason rolls around by April, May, and he'll be involved in the offseason as well. You've got to sign him to a long-term contract. That could be a little bit of foreshadowing for Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys. Joe Flacco after that Monday night game stated, the Jets felt damn good about their performance against the New Yorker. Dude, they looked good. They really looked good. Joe Flacco, man, three touchdowns and towards the end, kind of faltered down a bit. That's fine. I mean, Joe Flacco and the Jets have that confidence now, despite the loss and they feel like they can compete with a guy and a team, Bill Bauchek and the Patriots that have really manhandled them for so long in that division. So kudos to them. Tak McKinley, the former first-round pick for the Atlanta Falcons, signs with the Cincinnati Bengals. He was claimed off of waivers. The Falcons released them this past week. And for the last two years, he's been a trade target just because he's been underperforming. He's been injured here and there as well. And McKinley could have gone for a second round pick. His words, not the Falcons words, his words that the Falcons could have traded him for a second round pick. Then last year, it went down to like a fifth or sixth. And this year, it was pretty much scrapped. So they just went ahead and released them. The Bengals picked them up. Matt Nagy, the head coach of the Chicago Bears, calls plays on that offense. And he says, that won't change. They started five and one, mind I add. And now they're down to five and four on the cusp of losing. Is that a real word? Cusp of losing position in the NFC wildcard race. Lost three straight games. He stated, the staff looks at all that, talking about if they should change the play calling duties, if they should give it to someone else. But that's not where we think it's at. So Matt Nagy will continue to call plays for the Chicago Bears. Very interesting. We'll see how it turns out. Finally, some other week 10 news, we want to wrap it up with another big topic. Nick Chubb got designated, he was designated from IR, but he may not play this week against the Houston Texans. Karim Hunt is slated to be the starting running back for the Cleveland Browns. So Nick Chubb, 21 day window is open. Want to see how he performs before they put him back into the starting lineup. Now for another topic that we talked about earlier, we mentioned earlier is that COVID-19 is ruining, I will say it, ruining the NFL. It really is. A lot of games have been pushed back. I understand people need to be safe. Okay, yeah, that's good and all. COVID-19 has pushed a lot of games back. A lot of scheduling changes have been made. A lot of teams, when they expected to have a bye week later in the season, had to have a bye week then and there, such as the Patriots, such as the Broncos, such as the Chargers, the Titans, the Steelers, the Dolphins, thereby we've got change around, the Jets by week has got changed around as well. A lot of teams have been affected by the schedule changes with all the outbreaks of COVID-19. And every single week, someone goes on the COVID-19 list, the reserve list. You've got big names going on there nowadays and it seems like that nobody bats an eye at it. Ben Rothesburg was on that list. Baker Mayfield was on that list. Matthew Stafford last week was. All these people, these big names are on this list, but nobody bats an eye because it just happens every single week. The NFL seems like they're moving in the right direction. A lot of teams are following their protocols after that whole debacle with the Tennessee Titans and then the Raiders got fined as well for their protocols that they weren't following. And so the NFL seems like they're back on track and seems like we're not going to have to have an emergency plan. However, this past week, all the NFL owners approved unanimously that an emergency plan will be intact in case the NFL were to extend their NFL season or have to play meaningful games or cancel meaningful games and they could not play them. So what exactly are those emergency plans? So option one is play 17 weeks in the NFL season like normal. See if you can reschedule some by weeks. Okay. You know, it sucks that you have to make some schedule changes here and there, but that's okay. As long as you can fit everything into 17 weeks, that's going to be the NFL's bread and butter. That's what the NFL is trying to do. That's what the target is. They're not going to be affected by COVID-19 if they can fit everything into 17 weeks. Option number two, if they cannot fit everything into 17 weeks, what they have to do is they have to extend the season. That means that you have to play an extra week of meaningful games in week 18. They're going to have a week 18, no other by week, no extended by week. There's just teams that got affected by COVID-19 that had to take a week off. Those are the only teams that are going to have two by weeks for the season. So a week 18 could be a possibility. Man, that's going to mess everything up. The playoffs are going to be pushed back. The Super Bowl is going to be pushed back, but what the NFL has done is for the Super Bowl and down in Tampa, they booked a block of, I believe, three weeks worth of hotels down in Tampa for the expected teams to go down to the Super Bowl and staff as well. That's option number two is have a week 18. Option number three is if you cannot fit everything into 18 weeks and you still have to play meaningful games, this is what they approved on, you're instead going to extend the playoffs from 14 games or 14 teams to 16 teams, meaning that the NFC will have yet another extra wildcard team added to the playoff format as well as AFC, another extra wildcard team. So it'll be eight and eight. What that does is that eliminates the by week. Instead of one team having to buy in each conference with a 14 team playoff format now, instead you're going to have what the NBA kind of does. You're going to have a one seed versus the eight seed, two seed versus the seven seed, so on so forth. What are the teams that are positioned to make the NFL playoffs on the NFC side and what are the teams expected to make the playoffs on the AFC side? For the AFC, the Steelers, the Chiefs, the Bills, the Titans, those guys are the division leaders, one through four, those are the seeds. Then you got the wildcard teams, the Ravens, the Colts, and the Dolphins actually as a matter of fact, if the playoffs were to start today, the Miami Dolphins would be in the NFL playoffs. That's surprising. But the extra team added in to that 16 team tournament would be the Las Vegas Raiders. So things would get very interesting. Now you'd have the Las Vegas Raiders versus the Pittsburgh Steelers in that first round of the NFL playoffs. The Steelers are a very good team. Do the Raiders have a chance? Yes. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs in that one upset game, 40 to 32. But it's pretty much a given. Like, okay, well, the first seed faces the eight seed. The first seed is the favorite to win that game. So it's not going to be that big of a deal for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Instead though, what is going to be the biggest loss is that they're going to miss out on that by week. So those are the eight teams to make the NFL playoffs if they were to have this emergency COVID plan. For the NFC, the Saints have the number one seed. They're expected to have a first round buy if the playoffs were to start today, that get eliminated. The Seahawks, the Packers and the Eagles, or seeds two through four, the division leaders. Then you get the Wildcourt teams, the Buccaneers, the Rams, the Cardinals top off the NFC playoffs if the playoffs were to start today. And then the Chicago Bears would be the eight seed. Through a game losing streak, they would make the NFL playoffs. So you would have the Saints versus the Bears and that game got pretty close earlier this season, went into overtime. They would have a shot at and the NFL playoffs. So the 16 team tournament, I feel like it does make a lot of sense and it's probably the best option just because if you're going to count out a lot of teams and making the NFL playoffs, might as well just reward the next team as well. Just add in another team and see if they could beat the number one seed and advance further in the NFL playoffs. But I want to hear your guys thoughts. What do you guys believe about this emergency plans? What are your thoughts? What are your opinions? Do you feel like this is a very good idea? Do you feel like the NFL is moving in the right direction because COVID-19, man, COVID-19, I thought it was going to go away after the election. I really did. But apparently the election isn't over. Apparently. I don't even know what's going on right now. But yeah, leave your comments and your thoughts down below.

I mean their defense is amazing. Incredible. It's been all season long. But that offense, are they the reason why they're just being held so back? And is this offense preventing them from being one of the best teams in the NFL today? Let's break it down a little bit further. 19th and yards pass per game. 14th and passing. 20 second in rushing. Alright, so the passing, not that bad. Everything else could use a little bit of help. The reason why this team is the way that they are and why they're so good is because of their defense. But on the offensive side of the ball, they're efficient. They get it done when they need to get it done. Their turnovers are not that bad. They're tied 7th in the NFL with 9 total turnovers this season. Phillip Rivers, when we speak about turnovers, can throw 3 interceptions in a game, but then go straight, 3 straight games without throwing an interception. So it gets all his interceptions out of the way in just one game, 2 or 3 games without another interception. But is Phillip Rivers the reason behind the Colts lack of success? I was talking to my buddy Larry and he stated that he watched this one game with the Indianapolis Colts. I believe it was against the Cleveland Browns, a game that this Colts often should have performed really well against, against that defense. Watching that game and he stated, man, it looked like the corpse of Phillip Rivers out there. He did not look that good. And you know, I try to give him some benefit of the doubt. I was like, Frank Reich has a history with Frank Reich. Maybe they're just getting like learning a new offense or I mean, you should have this offense already memorized with Frank Reich being your head coach, but maybe they're just still like some miscommunication with our wide receivers and I don't know. Try to get the benefit of the doubt. But this season, it just hasn't been the best for Phillip Rivers. And is it because the Phillip Rivers of the past is no longer and it truly is a new Phillip Rivers that has digressed just a bit good enough to win some games and good enough in certain moments when you need him a good bridge quarterback. But he's not going to be your franchise quarterback. Definitely not for the long term. But maybe after the season, you signed a one year $25 million contract. What are the Indianapolis Colts going to do with Phillip Rivers moving forward? It's a very good question. Larry went on to state that maybe Jacobi Berset could be the answer for the Indianapolis Colts moving forward. I mean, if you look at Phillip Rivers and what he's on pace to throw this season, 4100 yards passing, 24 passing touchdowns, not bad, but then 14 interceptions. Okay, that's, let's get in there. It's, it's a little high for the touchdown interception ratio. But Jacobi Berset in 2019, 2900 yards passing, 18 passing touchdowns, 6 passing interceptions and 15 games. Alright, Phillip Rivers throws for more yards, can can air it out more. Berset, yeah, he's better in the interception game. But you know, it seems like if you want someone that's boom or bust, high risk, high reward, then Phillip Rivers is that guy. But I don't see Phillip Rivers having a future in Indianapolis for much long because of the contract situation with a one year contract, pretty much signing a Provid deal with Indianapolis. Just one year. Hey, let's see if we can make the Super Bowl, make the NFL playoffs and let's just go from there. And so far it's been proven. Yeah, you can make the NFL playoffs you're on track to, but I don't know, it's going to be tough with those numbers when it comes around to to resigning him. So definitely interact with us and chat with us if you believe that Phillip Rivers has a future in Indianapolis after the season. But that's the passing attack of Phillip Rivers. Let's talk about the rushing attack of the Indianapolis Colts, the 22nd ranked run game. We expected Jonathan Taylor to be this three down back like it was in Wisconsin rushing for 3000 yards in three seasons in college football. But Jonathan Taylor, the second round pick for the Indianapolis Colts has been in a running back by committee approach. I know you guys wanted them pop off for you guys that own Jonathan Taylor and fantasy football. I expected him and Marlon Mack more so Marlon Mack to be the front runner and to get more so around 180 carries Marlon Mack. And then Jonathan Taylor get 150 carries this season. But Jonathan Taylor has been a big letdown as far as the Colts offense goes after Marlon Mack came out with an injury or was hurt for the season. It said the Colts, Frank Reich, trust Jordan Wilkins and his ability, trust Naheem Hines and his ability in the passing game is instead of feeding them the ball a lot. So Jonathan Taylor is not going to be that three down back. It seems like for the Indianapolis Colts offense, at least for this season, maybe moving forward, it could be. And I don't know whether that's because of regression with Jonathan Taylor or he just doesn't see him as a big threat in the running games or potential to be a three down back. But Jonathan Taylor has been a little bit of a letdown as far as what our expectations were for him. I do believe that he's still talented. I hope that he were to turn it around. I do wish that Frank Reich were to give him a little bit more carries and I feel like this ground game could turn everything around. But as of right now, we're just going to have to settle with Taylor getting eight or nine carries a game and a Wilkins getting around 11 or 12. So that's my opinion on it. I feel like this Colts offense, this Colts team is very good. This Colts offense is very efficient in getting things done, but they're just out of ceiling right now. They've capped off. And if you just want to break that class ceiling, you want to get a little bit higher, you got to try new things. Got to try new things. Leave your comments down below, interact with us and let us know your thoughts on that Colts offense. Next topic, a heroic story for Alex Smith returning as he starting quarterback for the Washington football team. Okay, gruesome injury. I don't know what it is about Washington quarterbacks. You got Geo Thysman, you got Alex Smith. Why not? Let's throw RJ three in there. It wasn't that gruesome to watch it, but you know, Washington quarterbacks have bad luck when it comes to lower body injuries. And then another one in Kyle Allen this past Sunday, gruesome, gruesome. And I wish him the best of luck. And I hope that he doesn't have to go through so much pain and because it looked bad, but that does mean that Dwayne Haskins is he was already benched in favor of Kyle, Kyle Allen. So Alex Smith is going to be the starting quarterback the rest of the way for the Washington football team. This season has been quite the season for Alex Smith returning after missing a year and a half of football. 17, 18 surgeries later, having an affection in his leg and saying, Mike, he was going to lose his life. That's wild. And he recovered well and he wanted to continue to play football and now here he is as a starting quarterback. What a story for Alex Smith. How long is this going to last though in Washington? That's a real question. 36 years old. Definitely not the future of the Washington football team. This contract that he signed in 2018 in his first season with the Washington football team, the year that he broke his leg. He signed a four year 94 million dollar contract. That's a lot of money, a lot of freaking money. And because of that, because he's not the future of the Washington football team, how long is it going to stay around in Washington? My opinion, I feel like Alex Smith's future in Washington, it's coming to an end after this season. I know it's going to be, it's going to be tough. I really do. I really do. I feel like this, a lot of fans are going to be like, well, man, just give him the benefit of the doubt. He broke his leg. Like you got to just keep him on the team. Listen, I I think that this team has done enough for Smith. They've kept him under contract when they could have released him. You know, they were with him through thick and thin through the whole process of his surgery after surgery after surgery. They've done enough for Alex Smith. Now that's comes down to the business aspect of it. And you've got to move on with Smith. You've got to move on. You've got to look forward to the future. I hope that Smith can continue to play in the NFL. I think his starting quarterback days in the NFL may be numbered, just because of the little amount of opportunities that there are out there for starting quarterbacks. But Alex Smith, I don't see him in Washington much longer. So what's the future for Washington if it's not going to be Alex Smith? Doreen Haskins, he's going to be gone. He's going to be gone. They've already talked about listening to some trade offers for Doreen Haskins. Nobody bit. Nobody bit. So I wouldn't be surprised if after the season Doreen Haskins were to get released. And it's not because of just because of his lack of of success on the field that has part of it to do with it, but it's because of this. I didn't know this about Doreen Haskins, but just from reports that I've been hearing, it's because of some locker room personality issues that I'm hearing about Doreen Haskins, about how he was bragging about his stats, about how he threw for 300 yards against the Baltimore Ravens after that loss to some of his teammates. It's because of that. It's because of other instances like that that Washington is just ready to move on and just, you know, wipe it clean and be like, listen, we drafted you mid round in the first round and we're done at this point. We don't believe you're going to be a starting quarterback for us in the future. Man, what a bullet that people, that the New York Giants dodged. Can we just talk about that with Doreen Haskins? What a bullet. That's a Giants dodge. Man, they got crap. After drafting Daniel Jones with your sixth overall pick a couple of years back. I mean, it seems like that it's working out somewhat well that Giants offense has some work to do, but it's not all Daniel Jones's fault. Get some offensive line help, get your starting running back healthy. Oh my gosh, my fantasy season and get some receivers in there. And Daniel Jones will be great as proven by last season and fix your turnovers. Yeah, that's, you got to fix that. But Daniel Jones, I mean, he got a lot of criticism for the Giants, not drafting Doreen Haskins instead going with Daniel Jones. But I think the Giants need what was up and they don't want Doreen Haskins to begin with. So the Washington football team is going to move on with Doreen Haskins and instead might draft a quarterback for the future. And it's not going to be Trevor Lawrence based off the record based off the positioning of the NFL draft. It's instead might be someone like Trey Lance that you draft at quarterback. And it could be a project, you know, I don't know why NFL franchises do this, but he's going to be a project to where he's just going to sit behind Alex Smith potentially if you want to keep Alex Smith for another year and then wait until Trey Lance is capable of winning games and then put him in to the starting lineup. So leave your thoughts down below. Do you believe, do you believe that Alex Smith is going to have a long future in Washington? Is it going to stick around after the season? And what do you think the quarterback position is going to look like for Washington in 2021 and moving forward? Now it's time to answer fantasy football questions that you guys leave and those starts and sets videos every single week. Sad news before we get started. I pulled these questions from those comments and those videos. I hate to say it, but the Asian bots are back. I know, I know, we were doing so well. You guys, the time too faithful were doing so well when reporting them in spam. I was reporting them in spam and I thought we defeated them only one or two, maybe every single week. But then as I was going through these comments, I saw at least 25 Asian bots comment just random things, how they want to make love to me, how they cherish me, how they say I look so good. Yeah, whatever. Yeah, right. We know you're lying. But those Asian bots are back and it's disappointing because I worked so hard to get rid of them, but they're back. Anyways, I was able to salvage through some of these comments, dodge these bots here and there, weave left and right, just picked out a few questions that I'm going to answer for you guys on this show. So starting off with the first comment that we have, it's by Jim M. He says, must say quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, bus of the week running back Mike Davis, defense of bus of the week Tampa Bay defense. Very curious, as you should be Jim, how does it make any sense? He's referring to how I regarded Teddy Bridgewater as he must sit this week. Mike Davis as a bust, Tampa Bay's defense as a bust. One's got to give if this Carolina's office is not going to do well, then Tampa Bay's defense is going to do well, vice versa. Well, let me explain by that, what I mean by those must sits in those bus of the week. Teddy Bridgewater, when I say that a quarterback is a must sit or a must start, a start in my eyes is over 17 fantasy points and standard leagues for a quarterback. I feel like if a quarterback were to reach 17 fantasy points, then it's a success. Would you say so? Maybe you guys are like, 17 is not that much. It's acceptable. It's good. And if it's a start, if you start someone with 17 fantasy points, you're like, okay, that's not bad. I'll take it's better than not good. So I feel like Teddy Bridgewater is going to get less than 17 fantasy points this week. And that could be 15 fantasy points, 16, whatever it may be. But Bridgewater, I don't see a good or a big output from him. Bus of the week, running back, Mike Davis, look at his last three starts that he had. Failed to have double digit fantasy points in either one of those games and half PPR leagues, this is standard leagues that he failed to have double digit fantasy points, half PPR leagues, only one of those games barely got double digits, barely 10.5 fantasy points. And that's because of the emergence of Curtis Samuel, how Matt Raul likes to use him in the running game, and how he's been looking more explosive than Mike Davis in the running game. Defense of bus of the week, Tampa Bay's defense, this secondary, I explained in the video, this secondary is if you watch that Saints game, they got destroyed by the short passing yardage game curl out after curl out after out route, they were unable to stop the Saints offense from being efficient to the point where they got into the red zone, they were able to score some field goals, knock some points down for the Tampa Bay defense, able to get the ball out quick, so avoid some sacks as well. And I feel like this is going to be the same thing for this Carolina offense. They're going to look at that game and be like, okay, let's get short yardage completions, let's move the ball down the field, let's get the ball out of Tom Brady's hands, let's keep the ball in our hands, and let's avoid sacks, let's do whatever we can throw the ball away, get the ball out quick, move down the field, chew out some clock, and let's get this ball moving. So that's why I feel like Bridgewater is going to do well enough to leave the Panthers down the field to where the Bucks defense is not going to have that grade of a game that might be average, but it's not going to be great. But I don't feel like he's going to do or put up big numbers, like he's not going to throw a 50 yard touchdown pass, it's just not going to happen. So that's my best explanation on why I feel like these guys are going to be bust and a set, if that makes any sense. Brindo the Mando asks Jalen Rager or Greg Ward. Greg Ward has officially gone to the Abyss of wide receivers, no longer that you have to pick him up and spot start him. Now that Jalen Rager is back, now that Alshon Jeffrey hopefully some day, some week, some year, you know, let's just give him some year, it's going to come back into the lineup. Now that Travis Fulcombe is coming on pretty strong this Philadelphia offense. So the only two relevant wide receivers, the favorite targets of Carson Wentz are going to be Jalen Rager and Travis Fulcombe. Travis Fulcombe more is a possession guy and Jalen Rager more so as a deep threat, even a red zone target for Carson Wentz. So Greg Ward, the rest of the season and this week as well, I feel like Jalen Rager is going to be the better option for the rest of the way instead of Greg Ward. Next question is from Roy Kim. Why do you value Kai Forbath so high? I don't know who he is, but he just started playing last week and only scored five points. So Forbath has been around the NFL. He's kicked for the, most notably for the Dallas Cowboys. And the reason why I value him so high is just because of opportunity. Okay. So kickers and you could make a case for receivers and tight ends as well, but kickers are the most dependent position in fantasy football as their team. You're only good as your offense is as for kickers. That's the rule for kickers. So Kai Forbath, this Rams offense against the Seahawks. Yeah, they're going to move the ball down the field. They're going to get into field goal range and they might kick a lot of extra points and it's going to be detrimental to Kai Forbath because you could score four touchdowns, five touchdowns for Jared Goff and only have five points total for Kai Forbath. But this increases your chances of getting into field goal range offense because that secondary for the Seahawks, that defense for the Seahawks needs a lot of help. Given up 44 points last week, that's, that should tell you enough. And this Rams offense is good enough to put up a lot of points. So they're going to be good enough to get into field goal range often and Kai Forbath's possibility of putting up big numbers and fancy football increases. I had to stream a kicker this week because I have Harrison Bucker and I still have him on my bench, but he missed so many extra points this year that he has cost me three games now in fancy football. If you just made one of those extra points in three different weeks, I would have won. But I'm going to keep Harrison Bucker just because of the opportunity that he has with Patrick Mahomes and that Chief's offense. Kai Forbath was one of the options that I thought about streaming in the place of Harrison Bucker's bi-week. Eventually I went with Mason Crosby, but Forbath is up there as I start for me as well this week. Let's do a few more. All right. We've got this one from Mark S. Why sit Galman and why sit McKinnon? McKinnon, okay, he's in that running back shuffle again. I know Tevin Coleman is hurt. I know that you got Jermico Hasty and, okay, so first off that matchup against the Saints. It's bad. It's a bad matchup. The Saints are actually pretty good in the run game and run defense at least. So that's number one. Number two, the only reason that McKinnon had a great game last week was because of that one last touchdown that he scored and Thursday night football when the clock was just in four seconds. Had he not scored that touchdown, I wouldn't want to fancy football, but that's okay. That's okay. McKinnon had a great output just because of that touchdown and other than that, I mean, it was not that good for the San Francisco 49ers running backs. They were just down by so much and I feel like this could be the same kind of game script where you're down by so much against New Orleans Saints. You're not going to use this running game a lot so you're not going to use McKinnon a lot in the passing game as even though he is the best passing sketching running back right now, it's not helpful for Derek McKinnon. Why set Wayne Gullman? Because he's been good the last two weeks, but that's because of goal line touchdowns. That's it. Under that, I mean, if you took those touchdowns away, he wouldn't have that great fancy performances the past two weeks. So those are my reasons behind sitting Gullman and McKinnon. Seattle Saints asks, who wins in a Zeke for Michael Thomas trade? Anybody? Somebody? Both of those guys are very by low right now. I value running back so much more than wide receivers just because of the running back apocalypse of injuries that's been happening so far in 2020. So I would say Zeke, the guy with Zeke is going to get a value from this, from this trade, most of them Michael Thomas. But if it's a PPR league, I'm going to go with Michael Thomas because I feel like that this Dallas Cowboys running back committee approach that they have now with Tony Pollard, it's going to hurt Zeke's chances of being a Zeke or Elliott, if you want to say it. But since I value running back so much and if I were down in depth at the running back position, I would say the guy with Zeke. But as far as the player and as far as how many fantasy points I think for the rest of the season, the player is going to get and who wins in that aspect, especially in PPR leagues, it's going to be Michael Thomas. Last one is from Kadeem Ellington. Wentz thumbs up or lock thumbs down this week. Okay, so I don't know if this is a question asking me about Wentz or lock, but I think you've answered the question for yourself between Wentz or lock. I'm going to go with Wentz just because the floor is there. The last time he faced the giants, he had a very good output this season. And he's just the right now currently the more talented quarterback out of the two for lock. He's a little bit more dependent. We got to see a little bit more play out of him to see, okay, the last two weeks he put up some pretty good numbers, but is that for real? We got to see a little bit more out of drew lock. He's attempted 40 passes the last three weeks. So he could be a good, you know, a good play in garbage time and against that Raider's team that could be a high scoring game. But that's just wishful thing. It's 50-50. You want to go with a guy that's safer, that has proven to put up big numbers against this team earlier this season, and that is going to be Carson Wentz. As you can tell, you answered that question for yourself. But that'll do it for this week's episode of Time to Football. Hey guys, let me ask you a question. Did you enjoy the show?
