 Well, it has certainly been a day in the NFL so far today. It has been a week in the NFL. It has been a wild ride. But hey, we are here to break down the week nine main slate for DFS getting you set for should be pretty interesting slate. A lot of question marks here and a lot of questions to answer. We're doing that right now and drafting a snake draft live on air. This is the snake draft Q&A right here on the fan dual YouTube, Twitch, Facebook and Twitter channels. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com. Joined here as always by JJ Zacharyson and Brandon Gadoula. JJ is the editor-in-chief of numberfire and fan dual JJ week nine is coming up. How are you doing today? I'm not just the editor-in-chief at numberfire and Fandle Jim. I'm the leader of the snake drafts so far this season. I'm doing great because of that fact. Not only are you the leader, you were gone last week and Brandon and I still lost, which is I wanted to get a win for that. But then I realized that you guys aren't like, I mean, the loss was enough. So it's also like three to two like it's it's tough to count because Ryan's better than all of us. Like, you know, we don't want to like, you know, punish us just because Ryan's better than us. I feel like we should get a pass. You know, it's tough to beat Ryan. I think that we deserve a pass for that. Brandon Gadoula is the managing editor of numberfire.com, Brandon. We have a hole to dig out of. Technically, it's my turn to win this week. So how are you feeling entering? Knowing that is the truth. I feel like I'm tied for second place. If JJ if JJ feels great for being in the lead, I feel like I should probably just say that I'm feeling like I'm in second place. I feel like a loser. So I'm glad that you feel good. That's that's encouraging to me at least that we are there. What we're going to do for today is we're going to break down this week nine main slate and take your questions from YouTube, Twitch, Facebook or Twitter, no matter where you're watching. Get your questions in. We'll take them live here on the air to get you set for this week nine and main slate as always. Make sure you are subscribed on your platform of choice because we are doing this every Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern and we also have shows every other weekday at 4 p.m. as well. So again, hit subscribe, swing back 4 p.m. Eastern every weekday to get our insights here on the NFL for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and the NBA on Wednesday with Tom Vacchio as well. Now we typically save questions for last, but this one is kind of a key one that take Kyle's right now from YouTube is Jordan Love worth using in DFS this week? Does he have the upside to take advantage of the salary? Now we are talking about this before the show. Animatedly deciding this and J.G. I've heard Brandon's take on this and I know where he stands on Jordan Love and also this game in general because like there is a big ripple effect of having Jordan Love versus Aaron Rodgers in this game. So what are your thoughts first on Jordan Rodgers, but then on how Jordan Rodgers Jordan, who is a person? Correct. It's his brother. I'm sure he's feeling great today. The impact that Jordan Love starting has in this game as a whole as well. Yeah, okay. So my stance is that I don't think that that Jordan Love is an auto fade in DFS at 6K. You know, and I'm approaching this from the perspective of just trying to be as open-minded as possible about his actual play. I mean, we saw improvement in the preseason. You know, I think he looked way better than he did last year at least. We know the weapons are around him and the system is there for a guy to thrive. I mean, we've seen Aaron Rodgers obviously thrive and I'm not comparing Jordan Love to Aaron Rodgers. I understand the difference there. And then, you know, what I was saying before we hit live here is that this matchup is not bad. You know, if this was a very, very rough match, like if he was playing like Denver or something where, you know, there's a low scoring environment, you know, the Packers could easily just take it to the ground and not have to worry about playing catch-up against Teddy Bridgewater, you know, that'd be one thing. But, you know, you're facing an offense that, yes, has struggled this year, understandably. I mean, I get that they're not the same Chiefs offense that we saw last season, but the Chiefs, according to the numbers that I use and adjusted fantasy points allowed, they're still the fourth best matchup right now. You know, Brandon made a good point about Taylor Heineke and Daniel Jones both not having good games against them, which is not wrong. I mean, that's the fear. But I'm also looking at, you know, the perspective of from the perspective of Jordan Love might have a higher ceiling than we think. Just period. I mean, it's not, it's not that crazy to think that he could hit 20 to 25 points scoring in this game, which is what he needs to do if you're going to like win a tournament or something. I mean, you need that. And obviously there's a little bit more room for air for a guy like Jordan Love at 6K because you're able to get some really, really great players in your lineup elsewhere, right? So, you know, you don't need the crazy, crazy ceiling necessarily or as crazy of a ceiling. But yeah, I mean, like, like, I think he's fine enough. I haven't built enough to say definitively like how heavy I'll have Jordan Love. And I need to look at what the market is sort of saying and what his percent roster number might end up, you know, generally being projected at. But I think it's fine enough. Like, I don't think that he's a terrible play. You know, if you were looking at him from like a season long perspective, I have him as like a mid QB to this week and mid QB twos and fantasy can have spiked weeks. I mean, you can still be a top 10 option. So I think he's fine enough. You know, I'm not going to go all in. I don't think it's one of those situations. Not like a running back who's stepping in, you know, who's like 5k or something like that, you know, because you do need that ceiling at the quarterback position. But I think that he can provide that to some degree because the environment is not that bad. And what does this do for your view of the Chiefs guys? So mostly like Patrick Mahum's Terry kill, because my concern here is that the Packers are already if you've got Brandon's pace numbers at the slowest offense in football and now you're adding in a quarterback who will likely lead to more rushing attempts, which grinds clock more. I'm concerned about volume. I'm not concerned of a script because like that that's it's still a decently tight spread. That's not my concern. I'm concerned about this game being so slow that it's actually volume from the Homes and Hill. Where do you stand with regards to that? I think it's fair. I mean, we also have to again try to be open-minded of a scenario where the Chiefs are able to just do big things ASAP in that game and then the Packers aren't able to go with that kind of script offensively where they're just not able to, you know, if the Chiefs get out to like a 14-nothing lead, they're not, you know, early in that game, then all of a sudden the Packers aren't going to be able to run the football. I think that, you know, the way that you guys are framing it is probably, you know, the 20th to 80th percentile outcome range, you know, like, like, like it's the most likely thing to happen for sure. But if you're looking at it from a GPP standpoint and just thinking a little bit outside the box, I mean, I just feel like anytime I know the Chiefs are playing the way they're playing, they don't have nearly as many explosive plays this year. That's a huge problem for fantasy, but we know the personnel on that team and we know that games with Kansas City can and will shoot out. Like, we know that that can happen and that's why I don't want to say no, it definitely can happen. But yes, it's, it's a concern for sure. If you're building one lineup, you know, if that's the case, then yeah, I'm going to be more off of the Chiefs because Aaron Rodgers is in the play. Yeah, I think that that's the right way to view it for sure. They're not out of play, but it does impact their view. Okay, Brandon, we talked about Alvin Camara under the assumption that Taysum Hill will be quarterback and now touchdown Trevor Simeon is going to be quarterback for the Saints instead. How does it impact your view of Alvin Camara first for a salary cap, but then also for the snake draft later on? Um, so I think that overall Camara's salary of 9400 is a bit steep despite the good matchup because the offensive expectations are a lot lower here for this week. Also on the other side of this game, this is a big part of what you and I look at and talk about a lot, Jim, Calvin Ridley is not playing that lowers the offensive expectations for the Falcons and that just kind of reduces the chances that this game is a shootout. You know, the proverbial shootout that can lead to big plays, a lot of red zone chances for Alvin Camara. Now I will say with Trevor Simeon at quarterback, I feel much more confident in Alvin Camara's goal line work, but I still don't really think that he's in a good enough spot to prioritize from a salary cap standpoint at 9400. I do not think that he is, I'm not saying he's a fade. I'm not saying he's a horrible play. I'm saying he's not going to be a core play for me. If I'm building a cash game or a single entry lineup, I don't see Camara making that in at that salary for this week, but for a snake draft, for a snake draft, he might be the 101 potentially. Yeah, I think it's either him or Eckler, honestly. Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. I will say though, touchdown Trevor Simeon did score on his own read in the Gator Bowl back in 2013, defeating Dak Prescott in Mississippi State. So let's not underestimate his 4.38 speed in this scenario. Okay, JJ, before I talk more about touchdown Trevor Simeon, let's lock us in and get the snake draft underway. Okay, what spot do you guys want? I kind of want three. I don't really care. I want three. I'm going to get one because I think it's probably the worst week to have the first pick this week, this year. It says it there. Oh, there we go. Okay, I got two. Brandon got one. I've got it all over. We know you're lurking. We know you're out there. I've been pretty right on this, but yeah, despite all the concerns, I do think Camara is the 101. It's probably between he and Austin Eckler, as Jim said, love that Chargers Eagles game. It does have concerns, but virtually every game has some concerns this week. The main concerns with that one are like Jim mentioned that these teams kind of don't allow you to go down field very often. That can just sort of grind clock, keep things underneath, but that'd be good for Austin Eckler. But you know, despite what I said about Camara not being a core play for me in a salary cap format, I do think I'm just going to take him and see what comes back to me. Do you agree, JJ, of going Camara over Eckler here at 1.01? Yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah, I think Dalvin's still a fine play too. I mean, I don't, I have Eckler. I have Eckler too, and I'm going to get Eckler because I'm assuming Brandon is going to go Camara, but I really wanted the 103. I really wanted 103 because I felt like Dalvin, because I think that there's a, yeah, exactly. The Dalvin Z.com. Because I'm in a really tough spot now at 105 because Dalvin Z, because it is the best start that you can get out of these. Yeah, I agree. I'm in. I haven't thought about this beforehand, but I'm in. That's why I wanted the three whenever I was, you know, beforehand. See, I didn't think about this beforehand because I was too busy spiraling on Twitter to like think about this, but now that I see it, yeah, I'll take Dalvin and Zeke. I think that both these guys, mere options. Talked about Eckler before, but with Dalvin, massive workload, really tough matchup. The Ravens have not allowed 60 yards to a rusher yet this year, but Dalvin can work in the passing game. I like that game. Zeke, just a great role at home. Not the best rush defense. I'll take that all day. Now JJ goes with Tyree Kale. I think that makes a lot of sense given the running backs off the board. Anybody else who considered there JJ for that pick? Yeah, I mean, I could have gone running back, but I saw a pretty big gap after Zeke to the next running back and then at wide receiver. I sort of had Tyree in his own tier because I think you could go a little bit of you can go different directions. I did have digs as my wide receiver to who branded just took, but I saw Tyree giving me a better advantage at his position than the next running back that I would have taken because I think there's a couple of running backs where you could, you could go there. Okay. Yeah. I think that makes a lot of sense. Okay. Brandon gets digs and Joe Nixon. I was planning on taking Nixon. I didn't know if he'd get there, but I think that was the right call there thought process for you on digs and Nixon. I had a top five and they went in order basically. So I didn't know what I was going to do at the turn. I don't like stuff on digs as much as I would like to with the fact that they're massive favorites, but they still throw the ball plenty when they're up. So the fine dig seems like a just a never ending regression story. Joe Nixon's workload was still really good last week. I had him a bit of a like a tier above Aaron Jones with with the quarterback situation. So I was kind of just that obligation that I had those guys at the top of the next year, but I did have a big tier drop there, which is why it took me a bit to pick. Yeah, I think that was a really tough spot. I also didn't like my options there. JJ when Aaron Jones and Nick Chubb with the next two picks Jones should get volume Nick Chubb. I think had a better role than we might have realized last week given that like Deirdre Johnson got targets, but like Chubb was still seen like they guy they preferred over tough spot tough spot for them to. I mean, I I considered like I still had Chubb actually in that tier where I got Aaron Jones. Like I think that he still has because he still has that kind of upside, obviously, but the you know, the receiving work still wasn't great. So that's a little bit scary. But yeah, for me, I went with Jamar Chase just because I think that the it's a decent game. I like the target numbers has been getting. I like the effectiveness on those think that should continue this week. Lamar Jackson to me is the number one quarterback this week could have gone with Josh Allen, but Lamar gets me correlation with Daven Cook for that game. And then so Brandon went with Josh Allen and Debo Samuel. Are you coming around on my boy Debo now? Oh my gosh, this again. All I said was he's hard to project because he gets so many targets behind the line of scrimmage. It's hard to project because he's the best best receiver in football, you know, and he also has complications. He has mega regression come in his way on downfield passes, but. I was considering Devonte, but I couldn't quite get there myself. Oh man, this is terrible. I got to go. Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was. I couldn't. I honestly, I couldn't go Devonte there because I had Aaron like there's no way that Jordan loves going to be able to support Devonte and Aaron Jones the way that I would need him to. I'm just going to go with my home. So it's my just a stack on the Tyree because I feel like he's probably. That was the poopiest snake trap we've done all year in terms of like guys. I actually wanted to use this pool is thin guys. It's thin. It's thin. It's rough. I I right where right where Brandon was at with Debo is where things really, really got shaky. There were like multiple teardrops like and we're got gross like the teardrop after the top five was terrible. The one you were talking about with Brandon was bad too. So let's go to Brandon first. You got a Mari. That's kind of fun. I can get behind that. I love to act in that game. I think that a Mari is always a good option. So I think you did the best with what you had. You just kind of put in a bad position by the way the order broke. Yeah, like I said, I think there was a clear top five from a snake draft format and picking first. I got like a week number one pick. I'm not like I'm not complaining. I'm just kind of like, you know, at the turn I couldn't really plan. I mean, I could have planned, you know, assuming I went the five that I had, but didn't really have a great feel what to do there. I like Joe mix and plenty this week is salary 7400 as well. I think he's going to be very much in the play for like a cash game, single entry sort of vibe for me this week. Stefan digs, you know, great, great matchup overall. They're going to put up points. It's hard to dislike digs there and I got the stack with Josh Allen. And then honestly, it came down to like, do I like Devonte more than Debo with the quarterback downgrade and I decided not and then it was between like Devonte Booker, Miles Gaskin or Mari Cooper. And I just felt like if one of those guys is going to put up 25, it's probably Cooper. So I went with the Mari there going with the receiver in the flex. I fully agree that with that thought process. Grim fan is saying no fighting play nice. Grim fan, we don't have to fight when he takes Debo when he respects the greatness that is Debo saying that we don't have to fight them. We're on the same page. This is great. JJ, you did get the stack with Patrick Mahomes and Terry kill running it back with Aaron Jones. And I think that where you took those guys make sense. I am mad. You took Justin Jefferson. I was trying to find it didn't realize you had taken him with search around the player pool. Couldn't see him. It's really flustered there for a bit, but thoughts in your team for you. Yeah. I mean, I actually, you know, I don't mind it. I don't, you know, totally love the Green Bay Kansas City game as we alluded to earlier. But there are a lot of good players in that game and, you know, the fact that I have Mahomes and Tyreek, you know, they still have a high implied team total. So they should still be able to score points. And then you just got to hope that Aaron Jones is able to see a lot of work in the backfield. Austin Eckler. We already talked about, you know, should see a nice workload, good matchup for him. It's great that he's seen goal on work this year. And then with Nick Chubb and Justin Jefferson with Chubb, it's really just a play on the potential stealing that he has every week. And I actually think that game is, is decent. You know, I don't like love it to death, but this slate is just not great. So I think in the context of the slate, the game is pretty good. And then obviously that Baltimore, Minnesota game is pretty good too. Arguably the best on the slate. Um, and so because of that, I just wanted a piece of it. So I went with Justin Jefferson. Well, that Cleveland Cincinnati game is why I took Jamar Chase. It's a decent game with a decently high total tight spread, not the best defenses on the planet. It's not a fast game, but like it's not, uh, I think the other stuff grades out well, uh, with the, I kind of just wanted to get a lot of exposure to Raven's Vikings once I had Dalvin Cook, because I think that's the best game to stack on the slate potentially. I'm leaning towards that one being number one. Cause it's the best quarterback on the slate. You've got a great running back. You've got four great wide receivers spending on it for shot. Bateman's able to go up. Maybe at least three with Marquis Brown, uh, Justin Jefferson and Dylan. So I like that game all around and feel good about the way things broke there. Okay, let's shift on over to some questions now and take those to get you all set for this slate here this weekend. And let's start things off with Elias asking desperate for a win. I got three and five and non PPR. Good. Good to know you're, you're, you're going to try here. I need to help pick two out of Devontae Booker, Miles Gaskin, Manny Sanders and Chuba Hubbard, JJ, which two are you leaning with in that scenario? I am going to go with the first two. I'm going to go with Devontae Booker and Miles Gaskin, uh, you know, good matchup for Gaskin, decent matchup for Booker and decent enough. Uh, you know, Manny Sanders coming off a goose egg last week. It's non PPR. That's a big, a big tiebreaker for me to go running back as opposed to wide receiver. And you know, if we know for sure that CMC is out, I think you have more of a question with Chuba. Um, but I think CMC might still play, but not get a full workload, which just kind of muddies that entire situation. So I think just going with Booker and Gaskin makes the most sense. Yeah, that's the way to sound right now is if McAfrey will play and be limited. And that is not great for anybody involved. So I'd agree with what JJ said. Uh, Grimfan living up to the name. This is pretty grim Grimfan. Taja Sharper Nelson Aguilar. I would go Aguilar here. But, uh, good luck. Uh, Joseph is asking JJ if Cole Beasley can't go, do you like Bateman or Van Jefferson more? So Cole Beasley missed practice once again today. Bateman missed, but it sounds like he'll be good to play whereas Van Jefferson is playing. Uh, Matthew Stafford is also not quite a full health right now. He's missed practice this week with a back injury. So what's your view of these three based on what we know right now? It's tough. I really, I really like, so I think Cole Beasley in a full PPR format is probably like just safest of the group, but if you don't want to go that direction, that's fine. Um, I like all three of them this week. So this is a really, really tough one. Uh, Bateman having that injury right now, not practicing today. It does sound, you know, they do sound optimistic. If you want to use that as a tiebreaker, I really like Van Jefferson. And I say that because we've seen splits now without DeSean Jackson in the lineup or not really running many routes at all the last two weeks. Two weeks ago, DeSean Jackson ran three routes and Van Jefferson was very, very close to the number of routes run as Robert Woods and Cooper Cup were last week. DeSean Jackson wasn't active and Van Jefferson ran just as many routes as Cooper Cup, uh, and Robert Woods. So he's going to be on the field game. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And this game environment, this game environment, you know, we were just talking up the Minnesota Baltimore one. I'd argue that if this Tennessee and Rams one were on the main slate, we would be talking about it similarly, early sort of similarly. Um, so I think the game environment is good. I trust that that often. So I would say if you read more about Bateman, you know, both were healthy, maybe I would go Bateman, but I, you know, I think it's like a 51 to 49 sort of thing. If you read more about Bateman this weekend and he's not healthy or they're iffy or he's a game time decision or something like that, I might just go with Van Jefferson and play it safe because I really think that Van's role, I just think he's incredibly undervalued in fantasy right now. Um, and his role looks really good without DeSean Jackson there. Yeah, I think that he's awesome. Love Van Jefferson for sure. Grim fan, Steelers to beat the Bears in a survival league. How confident is Jim after last week's pick? Yeah, I talked to someone. I think it was DJ out of going with the Eagles who won 44 to seven into using the Bengals who lost to the Jets. So, uh, Grim, why are you asking me? Grim fan, that seems poor, poor taste. Anyway, again, sorry, DJ, but I actually do like the Steelers. I would mention Grim fan that they played the Lions at home next week. So you might want to save them. But if you don't want to do that, I'm okay with the Steelers here. JJ, I had been slacking you because I was considering betting the Steelers and it sounds like you were also in on Pittsburgh for this week. Yeah, I mean, I think that a lot of people are going to look at what the Bears did last week and see it as sustainable. Maybe it is like with what Justin Fields did offensively. Um, I would argue though that, uh, this could be, uh, pretty rough on that offensive line, uh, this matchup with the, with the Steelers past rush. And that's, that's one of the main matchups that I'd be concerned about, uh, for the Chicago, Chicago offense and why the Steelers could end up, you know, beating the spread and, and looking pretty good in this game. So I would, I would be pretty confident in the Steelers, but, um, you know, the Mike Tomlin era Steelers have, have lost some really, really bad games in the past. So I would not be shocked if something happens. Yeah, that's why even saying the Lions next week, like short week, you know, like you just never know what the Steelers but yeah, I think they're coming off a bye. Yeah, I think, I think they're a pretty good bet though this week. Yeah, I'd agree. Okay. Let's talk to Francis. Uh, would you flex gain? Well, Ron Dale or Trayquan Smith, Sammy walk is also being available. Uh, Brandon, we are a pro. Ron Dale more conglomerate. I don't know if that's the right word to use for us anyway, but AJ Green likely out this week, cause he's on the COVID, uh, COVID list right now. Would you go with Ron Dale of that group, not knowing what Kyler status for Sunday is as of yet. That's the, that's the issue. It seems like it's going to be game time decision there with Ron Dale. I would say Ron Dale for sure. Um, if not, I mean, these like all could be really good options, but they all have some question marks. Game well, his role was actually got worse without Miles Sanders last week. Somehow, um, you could maybe write it off as game script related, but that seemed like not the case. So, I mean, my projections have gained well by a hair, but I don't feel great about that. Yeah. Like this is a hard question to answer. Yeah. Um, I, I right now I'd say more presuming that Kyler does start, uh, yeah, you know, so long as Kyler plays, I think we'll know we'll get a shifty bomb at 1146 PM Eastern. I think that's if I, we typically do. So I think we'll hopefully know by that and if it is Rhonda, if it is Kyler go Ron Dale for sure. Are we going to, are we going to be shocked though, if Kenneth Gainwell has a decent role this week because of the, of a probable negative game script, like anything with that team? Yeah. Of course. Of course. But I actually think that this sets up obviously to be, I mean, I'd rather play like a Boston Scott over Kenneth Gainwell, but I actually, you know, in a PPR format, like I still don't think Gainwell is like that, that bad of a flex. If Herbert goes full Herbert, like anything's like it'd be a Gainwell script there, which is possible. He's just nervous. He's good at football. Uh, I want to stick with Brandon for this one. Uh, Mike is sick. You're Dallas Goddard. The reason I'm gonna stick with you is because we talked a lot about Goddard on the podcast this week, but that was before we knew Devontae Parker was going to sit out this week. So now you take Devontae Parker out of the fold and it's Mike Kasicki at home against Houston in a game that I would, I still like for stacking, um, despite Parker being out because we've seen Tua put up points against bad defenses without Parker. That's what we get here again. Kasicki 19 or 20 percent target share in the two games with Tua without Devontae Parker. Is that enough to put him above Goddard for you or not? This is like super thin. So this might be a Fandall DFS question with their salaries being similar. Um, again, yesterday, I would say Goddard for sure. I still love Dallas Goddard, but I do think that Kasicki would get the edge here with my new projections. I haven't projected for just about half more target better air yards for him than Goddard long term. So can't really go wrong process wise, but I would lean Kasicki here. I think I would lean Kasicki, but it's very, very, very close. Also, George Kittle, if we're talking vandals in that same range too, and I like Kittle a lot at $6,000. Let's go to JJ for this one talking some, I think, streaming quarterbacks here from Artemis. Jordan Love, Tarad Taylor, Justin Fields or Daniel Jones. Not bad options on there, honestly. Who do you prefer of that group? Yeah, I think we can knock Fields off this list. And I say that just because the matchup against Pittsburgh that I talked about earlier with the past rush, it's just scary. I mean, obviously there's a ceiling there we saw last week. It's just a little bit scary. You know, I think I would prefer Daniel Jones over Jordan Love straight up. You know, the matchups not bad for dimes. We just don't have as big of a sample for Jordan Love. So I'd go dimes over love. Now it comes down to Tyrod and Daniel Jones. I think I'm going Daniel Jones over Tyrod just because he's coming off that injury. I think that if we get another you know, sample of him performing as he did earlier in the season, then, you know, ask me this question next week. It might be Tyrod. I don't know their matchups, but it might be Tyrod. But I think of this group I would still go with Daniel Jones, especially with all their weapons, their weapons being healthy now. Kenny Galladay should play. Canarius Tony is going to play. No sterling shepherd, but you finally have a set of three wide receivers who can play very specific roles. So yeah, I mean, I think Daniel Jones actually in a decent spot. I'd agree that I think the certainty there is good. Tanantha is asking for thoughts on Jeffrey Wilson, Jr. potentially coming back this week and its impact on Elijah Mitchell, especially the hasty getting receiving work. What I would say here is that the two avenues to getting a lot of points in DFS are passing game work and touchdowns. And if you take away passing game works out there already for Mitchell, take away touchdowns. That's a really tough setup. I think that if I'm looking at like a run first running back this week in DFS, I want Damian Harris. Now, this is season long. I think you still use Eli Mitchell because we don't know what Wilson's role will be. And I don't want to take Mitchell out because they seem to like him a lot. But for DFS, that's enough where I'm okay, avoiding Eli Mitchell for this week. Let's go back to JJ here and talk some defenses, which defense has the best ceiling this week between San Francisco facing the Cardinals, depending on Kyler Murray status there. Arizona facing San Francisco, Miami facing Houston and Las Vegas facing off with with Danny fumbles and the New York Giants this week. If you're looking at us from a ceiling standpoint, I would say if we get news that Kyler's not playing, I would go San Francisco. And then I would probably if Kyler's playing, I might go with Vegas from like a ceiling standpoint because we know turnovers are what's going to generate those points and Daniel Jones is a turnover machine. You know, I would easily say Miami if Tyrod wasn't playing, but with Tyrod back, they're just, you know, more of like a very average streamer this week. So let's just go with Vegas from a ceiling ceiling standpoint. But if Kyler Murray doesn't go, I would go with San Francisco. Okay, let's go stick with JJ here and talk about a trade from Brock. Would you trade a Mari Cooper and JD McKissick for Terry McLaurin? They'd have to drop a McKissick anyway with David Montgomery potentially coming off IRA this week. It's a forward-looking thing because Brock is 7-1. Would you do this trade? Um, I don't know. It just feels like a very lateral move to me. I just want a Mari. I want to keep a Mari personally. Yeah, that's kind of where I mean, like Terry McLaurin hasn't been performing over the last couple of weeks is, I mean, peripheral wise he's going to look better than a Mari just because the environment that he's in, but I kind of want to just stick with a guy who's in one of the best offenses in the league. So I'd probably stick with a Mari in this case and try to find a way. I mean, I don't mind, you know, if you're going to drop a guy like McKissick, I don't mind pairing him with someone to upgrade his spot. That's exactly what you should be doing. And McKissick has value, but I think that I would stick with the Mari side here. I want a quarterback tied to Dak Prescott versus one tied to Taylor Heinecke when like, you know, their upsides pretty similar. I would take that route there. Jack is back with the Garfield Avatar. Love it, Jack. Thank you. Welcome back. Would you start Boston Scott or Givante Williams-Branden? What are your numbers saying here between Scott and Givante for this week? About that even, both are dealing with committees. Both are in decent games for sure, but Boston Scott's in a committee with two other backs. Williams is in a committee with one other back in game script. Probably sets up well or better for Williams here than Boston Scott, who could get a little bit scripted out if, you know, the chargers invite you to run on them, which is the concern. But as you mentioned, there's a decent chance that Philadelphia does play from behind. Based on what we've seen from them all season. So I would lean Givante here. Pretty confidently. Okay, let's go to B-debs here. Eli Mitchell or Cordero Patterson? JJ, this one's kind of tough because I like Cordero's role more, but I hate everything else about the situation for Cordero. They are on the road. They're facing the Saints. Offensive expectations pretty low. It's tough. Where do you go here for Mitchell versus Patterson? Yeah, the problem is I don't think Mitchell's matchup is, I mean, it's better than what Cordero Patterson is sitting with right now. But, you know, Mitchell, like you said earlier, he's not seeing any work and through the air. He hasn't seen a target over the last couple of weeks. I would probably still go with Patterson here just because I think the volume through the air can make up for that environment and that matchup. But I think it's really, really close. Like if you looked at rankings, they're probably like back to back. Yeah, I would expect that as well. Okay, one final one here from DJ. I got to get DJ's question in since I messed him up last week again. Sorry, DJ. Adam Thielen or Emmanuel Sanders. He also has Jerry Judy available to him. I kind of like Adam Thielen this week. I know that the bills are in a really good spot. But like Thielen's actually getting downfield looks now. We know the red zone role is there. I think the Vikings are kind of feisty in this game. All right, guys, am I dumb to go Thielen over Manny and Jerry? Judy, am I going to let DJ down again? No, Thielen all day. You're just you're just second guessing yourself because of the apparent DJ thing that happened last week with the survival. I wasn't here, DJ. I would have stopped him. Yeah, DJ would not to let you down. Exactly. I would have totally said the Bengals. We're going to lose the jets. I would have helped you out, but, you know, I was out. Only so much we can do. Sorry, I started to mute myself because the dog is barking and I just couldn't turn it back on. This mic is like six years old, so I'm old and washed as is the microphone.
