 Welcome everyone to the Time of Football podcast. In today's episode, we're going to talk about week three of the 2018 NFL season, give you our power rankings, weekly picks, fantasy football advice, and also have the opportunity to answer some questions that you guys have submitted. It's Fat Halpertz. The Office. Thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Time of Football podcast. My name is Hassan Khan. I'm your wonderful host for this show. So if you're watching the video version of this podcast up on YouTube, you might notice that some things a little different, i.e. you don't see my wonderful face on the screen. That's because we've been having some technical difficulties with the set that we film, and so we don't want to bring our camera crew out here and get that set on camera. For now, at least for this break, we're going to give your eyes a break from seeing my ugly face on screen. But this also gives you the opportunity that if you're watching this video on YouTube, if you usually do that, you can realize that you don't have to watch a 30 to 45 minute video straight through. You can listen to the podcast on the go. If you go to the podcast app, search Time of Football, subscribe to this on there, listen to us while you're driving, while you're at the gym, whatever it is. And if you're on the podcast app, if you want to see a video version of this podcast, because we have some great graphics to go along with it, you can go to YouTube, subscribe to us on there, and we come out with a show every Wednesday at 8 p.m. So, anyways, I wanted to first, before we get into everything, I wanted to go ahead and say the phrase, sex panther, sex panther. So that is the key phrase for Jordan. If you're listening to this podcast, the next time I see you, say those words to me, sex panther, so that I know that you listen to this podcast. But moving right along, we kind of recap week two of the NFL season going into week three. That's what we do every single week on this podcast. So to kind of recap week two before we get into week three, we talk about the players of the week. Every Tuesday, we come out with a video up on YouTube that gives four players that we've chosen as the players of the week. We give film breakdown of their big plays of the week and tell you why they're the players of the week pretty much. If you haven't had an opportunity to watch that video, it's up on YouTube. You can watch the film aspect of it and see the player highlights. But let's just go ahead and get into just naming the players for you guys listening to the podcast on the podcast app. First up, our first player of the week is the greatest of all time. It seems like, just kidding, that's a little bit of an overreaction. But Patrick Mahomes has been rock solid for the past couple of weeks. And this past Sunday against Pittsburgh Steelers, 23 of 28, 82% completed, 326 yards, six touchdowns, zero interceptions. And he defeated the Steelers 42 to 37. Our second player of the week, listen, there were a lot of good wide receivers out there. AJ Green got three touchdowns. Adam Thielen had 12 receptions for 131 yards. I realize that. But Stefan Diggs was the most well rounded of all the wide receivers. He had a lot of receptions with nine receptions. He was up there in yardage with 128 yards receiving. And he was up there with multiple touchdowns scored with two touchdowns. The Vikings did tie with the Packers, didn't pick up the victory. But regardless, Stefan Diggs's performance had some sort of factor in leading the Vikings to a tie instead of a loss. Our third player of the week is a defensive player. And that is the Chicago Bears linebacker. Nope, not Khalil Mack, but Danny Trevathan. So Danny Trevathan had a solid game against the Seahawks. He tackles two sacks, one forced fumble, and he led the Bears to a 24-17 victory over the Seahawks. The score seems a lot closer. If you see the final outcome of that score, 24-17, you think that the game is a lot closer. But a touchdown was scored in garbage time by the Seahawks. This game wasn't even that close. It seems like the Bears defense dominated and Danny Trevathan had a big part in doing that. The last player of the week for week two was a Georgia Southern prospect, Matt Breida. 11 carries, 138 rushing yards. He also had three catches for 21 receiving yards and led the 49ers to a 30-27 victory over the Detroit Lions. So those were our players of the week for week two. Fantastic job to all four of those players. Now we're going to get into week three and kind of go into the storylines leading up to week three this Sunday. And we got to start off with probably the biggest news that broke on Monday. And that was that Josh Gordon is now a New England Patriots. So the Cleveland Browns, after six years of holding onto him, trusting in him, didn't release him. They had a lot of faith in him. Some sort of event occurred where they just thought, you know what? This is it. This is the last straw. We're moving on. So they fielded trade offers. The Patriots jumped up on it. They decided to trade a conditional draft pick to the Browns in exchange for Josh Gordon. So he'll be making his appearance this Sunday, actually. Or it's as expected, unless Bill Belichick decides to keep him out. And to make the move or to make room for Josh Gordon coming onto the New England Patriots, the Patriots have released Corey Coleman, Josh Gordon's old teammate that they just signed last week. So Coleman's out. He's a free agent. Josh Gordon's and he's a New England Patriots. Also, he's back. Carson Wentz will start versus the Indianapolis Colts. He was medically cleared for contact by the team doctors. He can participate in this Sunday's game. It's expected that he's going to start. Doug Peterson has a lot of faith in Carson Wentz. That he'll be back on track to his MVP status that he was last year. So Carson Wentz is now the Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback. And also interesting news that doesn't happen often. Actually, for as long as I've watched football, I don't think I've ever seen this happen before. But Vante Davis, Bill's quarterback, retires from the NFL, right? Which is, okay, he retires. That's fine. It's not that he retired during the beginning of the season, but he retired during half time of the Bill's and Charger's game. He decided that it hit him hard that he shouldn't be out there. That it's time for him to hang it up after 10 years in the NFL. And he felt like half time was the best place for him to retire. So he didn't come out for the second half. He stayed in the locker room. He just packed up his stuff. He left. I don't believe a lot of people in Buffalo were happy about that. But nonetheless, Vante Davis has made a decision to retire from the National Football League. Interesting news coming out of Pittsburgh. Antonio Brown originally didn't show up to the facilities on Monday to review game footage of this past Sunday. But he did show up on Wednesday. So Mike Tomlin said that there was disciplinary actions taken towards Antonio Brown for National Football Monday. And the reason why Antonio Brown didn't show up, they're saying it's because of a personal matter. But what's interesting, though, is that on Twitter, someone said to Antonio Brown that Antonio Brown is only good because of Ben Rothesberger and that brown stats are inflated because of Big Ben. Brown then tweeted out and he said, trade me and we'll find out. So a lot of people were speculating that when he tweeted that out and he didn't show up to practice on Monday, a lot of people were thinking he's going to be traded. Pittsburgh Steelers are thinking about it, but Tomlin shut down those rumors. Rothesberger shut down those rumors. Brown is going to be talking to the media addressing everything tomorrow on Thursday. So we'll find out exactly what to see or exactly what happens from then on. And there's been a lot of injuries going on in the NFL as of late. Jarvis Landry is listed as questionable against the New York Jets in Thursday Night Football. One of the bigger injuries, though, is that Bill is running back with Sean McCoy, cracked cartilage in his rib, which sounds really painful, but it's actually not as serious as breaking a bone, breaking a rib. So he just cracked the cartilage. He's in pain, but he's limited in practice. So they're going to be monitoring his status for this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, whether he's going to play or not. So it'll be a game-time decision whether or not he's going to play. So I just wanted to put it on your radar for you fantasy owners that have with Sean McCoy, that he's questionable. He should be questionable for this Sunday, and his status will be monitored throughout the week. Now we're going to get into our power rankings. We rank these teams one through 32 based off of their performances and how they're looking going into week three. So the 32nd best team in the NFL, pretty much to say they're the worst team in the NFL right now, is the Buffalo Bills. 0-2, got blown out week one by the Ravens. Didn't look pretty against the Chargers. They're 32. 31, the Cardinals, they were number 30. They dropped down a spot because their offense is horrendous. At 30, we have the Cleveland Browns. They dropped down a spot. They used to be number 29. But after some kicking woes, which they got rid of Zayn Gonzalez, and hopefully they'll have a better opportunity to win some more games. They almost beat the Saints, but for now they lost. They moved down to number 30. At 29, the Colts move up a couple spots from number 31 to number 29. At 28, the Oakland Raiders, 0-2, gave up a lead to the Denver Broncos. They lost. They dropped a spot. The New York Jets. So they were number 27 in the beginning of the season. Once they won in week one, they jumped up two spots, and now they're back down two spots to number 27. 26, the Miami Dolphins, they beat the New York Jets, so that's why they're ahead of them. But they're going to stay put. I want to move them up. But I can't move them up because even though they won, there's a lot of other teams that won as well. So for now they're staying put at 26, but I really love their defense. At 25, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started at number 31 in the beginning of the season. They jumped up three spots last week, and they're jumping up another three spots this week to number 25 after topping the defending Super Bowl champions. At 24, the Chicago Bears picked up a victory against the Seattle Seahawks. They don't move in their power rankings. They stay put just because a lot of other teams are winning. At 23, the New York Giants, they drop dramatically. They dropped five spots from number 18 to number 23. That's because their offensive line, they should have one of the better offenses in the NFL, but because of their offensive line, that's the only thing stopping them until they get that fixed. They'll be down, and they're at number 23 right now. 22, the Dallas Cowboys, the team that beat the New York Giants, they move up a spot from 23 to 22. 21, the Denver Broncos, they move up a spot as well from 22 to 21 after that comeback victory against the Oakland Raiders. Going into the top 20, the San Francisco 49ers won 30 to 27 against the Detroit Lions. They move up one spot. They were 21 last week. They move up to number 20 at number 19. The Titans, their offense still doesn't look good, but a win is a win, so we got to move them up a spot. They're at number 19. At 18, the Washington Redskins looked impressive against the Cardinals in week one, so we moved them up drastically in the power rankings in number 17. But then we realized after the loss to the Indianapolis Colts that they only looked good because it's the Arizona Cardinals. So we dropped them down a spot. They're at number 18. At 17, we have the Seattle Seahawks. They dropped a spot from 16 to 17 after losing to the Chicago Bears. 16 Detroit Lions dropped a spot as well from 15 to 16. Going into the top 15, the Cincinnati Bengals continued to surge. And after beating essentially what was a top 10 team, the Baltimore Ravens, they moved up to the top 15. They moved up actually four spots. They were number 19 last week. Now they moved up to number 15. 14, the Houston Texans continued to drop. They were ranked number 12 in the beginning of the season. Now they're down to number 14. 13, the Ravens. They were 13 originally at the beginning of the season. Moved up three spots to the top 10 after a demanding victory of the Buffalo Bills. But then they moved back down to number 13 after losing to Cincinnati. 12, the Los Angeles Chargers. They stayed put even though it's a victory. It's not an impressive victory over the Buffalo Bills. So they just stayed put. 11, the Kansas City Chiefs are still moving up. They move up three spots from 14 to 11. 10, the Carolina Panthers. They go down a spot after being number nine. And at number nine, we have the Atlanta Falcons. They move up two spots after beating the Carolina Panthers. At number eight, the Pittsburgh Steelers. They drop a spot from seven to eight after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs. Seven, the Green Bay Packers. They actually moved up a spot even though they tied. They didn't win, but they tied against a top five team in the Minnesota Vikings. So they move it up a spot to number seven. Six, the New Orleans Saints. They won, but it was against a, you know, one of the five worst teams in the NFL against the Cleveland Browns. And it wasn't by that much. So they stayed put at number six. Number five, the Minnesota Vikings. They actually dropped a spot. Not so much because they tied with the Packers, but because they have to make room for other teams that won, which we're going to get into right now. Going further into the top five. Number four, the New England Patriots. They dropped two spots after losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They were number two. Now they're number four. The Philadelphia Eagles are number three in our power rankings, the third best team we have. They were the top dog. They were number one. But after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they dropped down to number three. And at number two, the Jacksonville Jaguars. An impressive victory against the New England Patriots. Move up two spots. Essentially the Patriots and the Jaguars swapped spots. The Jaguars are number four last week. The Patriots are number two. And now they swapped. The Jaguars are up at number two. And the best team in the NFL that we have right now, the Los Angeles Rams. They're talented all over the place. Offense, defense, special teams. And they have these blowout victories. And there doesn't seem to be anyone that can stop them right now. So they moved up two spots from number three to number one. And they're the top dog in the NFL. And the best team that we have ranked in our power rankings. Now we get into our weekly picks for week three. So this isn't determined by us. This is determined by you, the fans, over 600 of you guys voted and polls on Instagram. And you guys are deciding who you guys think are going to win each game. And we just announced it here on the show. So starting off with the Thursday night game, the New York Jets versus the Cleveland Browns. 32% of you think the Jets are going to win. 68% of you are favoring the Browns to beat the Jets. And going into the Sunday games at one o'clock, the Saints versus the Falcons. This is kind of close. 56% of you guys are going with the Falcons at home. The Saints, 44% of you are backing them up. The Colts versus Eagles, this is lopsided. The Eagles, 89%. The Colts, 11% of you have faith in Andrew Luck and the Colts. The Bills versus Vikings, 84% are riding with the Vikings, 16% with the Bills. The Raiders versus Dolphins. Surprisingly, 56% of you guys are going with the Raiders on the road against that tough defense. And the Miami Dolphins, which 44% of you guys are favoring the Dolphins. Broncos versus Ravens, 48% favor the Broncos, 52% favor the Ravens. Bengals versus Panthers, 28% favor the Bengals, 72% favor the Panthers. Giants versus Texans, 53% favor the Giants, 47% favor the Texans. Titans versus Jaguars, this is lopsided as well. The Jaguars are favoring to win 82% to 18%. 49ers versus Chiefs, 33% are going with the 49ers, 67% are going with the Chiefs. The Chargers versus the Rams, lopsided as well. The Rams, 81% are favoring the Rams, and 19% are favoring the Chargers. Cowboys versus Seahawks, this is close as well. 46% like the Cowboys to win, 54% like the Seahawks to win. The Bears versus Cardinals, you guys are giving the slight edge to the Chicago Bears on the road. 58% are favoring the Bears, 42% are favoring the Cardinals. Patriots versus Lions, this is lopsided as well. The Patriots, 81% are favoring the Patriots to win, and 19% have Matt Patricia beating his former team. So that would be the Sunday Night Game, and the Monday Night Game, the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 64% of you are favoring the Steelers, and 36% are still favoring Fitzmagic and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win that game.

So we're doing it a little bit different this week. We got feedback actually from someone that said, hey, great content that you got. These starts and sits are really helpful, but is there any possible way that you can just add more players than just three starts and three sets for each position? And we're listening to that feedback because you matter to us, the fan matters. So we're actually going to give our top 10 for each position for the week. So starting off with quarterbacks, I'll go off and read the list for you guys, and this is in order. Number one, Tom Brady, two, Patrick Mahomes, three, Aaron Rodgers, four, Drew Brees, five, Ben Rothfelsberger, six, Kirk Cousins, seven, Jimmy Garoppolo, eight, Cam Newton, nine, Matthew Stafford, and 10, Matt Ryan. Those are the top 10 Must Starts for the week at the quarterback position. And let's highlight a start of the week. One specific player that we're going to highlight, that's Jimmy Garoppolo versus the Chiefs. You may think of the Chiefs as having this good defense because they've been having it ever since Andy Reed came into town, but for the past two years, their secondary hasn't been that good with or without Eric Berry. Eric Berry is a very talented player, but with or without him, there's a lot of other holes in that secondary that they need to fix. And Jimmy Garoppolo, having a good performance last week against the Detroit Lions, up against the Kansas City Chiefs that gave up the most fancy points of quarterbacks, he's a Must Start for this week. Must Sits, the top 10 Must Sits at the quarterback position. Eli Manning, Marcus Mariota, Case Keenum, Sam Darnold, Dak Prescott, number six, Mitch Trubisky, Derek Carr, Joe Flacco, Ryan Tannehill, and Tarot Taylor. Highlighting the sit of the week is going to be Derek Carr versus the Dolphins. Dead accurate. The last two weeks, fantasy points may not show it, but he's actually a really good quarterback, throwing over 300 yards against the Rams in week one, and completing a ridiculous, I think it was like 95%, 96% of his passes against the Denver Broncos. So he's still a solid quarterback, bench him, keep him on your bench if you need to, but against the Dolphins defense that has been tough on Marcus Mariota, Blaine Gabbard and Sam Darnold last week. Derek Carr is a must sit for this week. Going into running backs, the must start is top ten. Number one, Todd Gurley, two, Alvin Kamara, three, Ezekiel Elliott, four, Melvin Gordon, five, James Conner, six, Daven Cook, seven, Saquon Barkley, eight, Jordan Howard, nine, Christian McCaffrey, and ten, Kareem Hunt. And highlighting the start of the week is Jordan Howard versus the Cardinals. You could say that Tariq Cohen is going to be an asset, is going to be threatening Jordan Howard for his job. I think those rumors are put to rest because Howard gets at least 75% of the carries and touches in the backfield. And against the Cardinals team that hasn't been looking pretty at all, Howard is a must start for this week. The sits of the week, the top ten. One, Ligaret Blunt, two, Duke Johnson, three, Rashad Penny, four, Javorius Allen, five, Derek Henry, six, Belil Powell, seven, Rex Burkhead, eight, Peyton Barber, nine, Philip Lindsay, and ten, Jamal Williams. Highlighting the sit of the week at the running back position is Buck Allen versus the Broncos. It's not so much about the match-up that he has against the Broncos, but it's more so about he's just a touchdown vulture in fantasy football. Look at his stats, look at his rushing guards, look at the amount of carries that he's getting. Week one, only four carries. Week two, only six carries. Football production or relevant fantasy football production with those amount of carries every single week. So if it weren't for those touchdowns he wouldn't be relevant in fantasy football. Highlighting wide receivers the starts of the week. Number one, Antonio Brown, two, Michael Thomas, three, Julio Jones, four, Tyreek Hill, five, Geondra Hopkins, six, O'Dell Beckham, seven, Mike Evans, eight, AJ Green, nine, Stefan Diggs, and ten, Devonte Adams. So those seem like must-starts that should just start every single week. But we're going to highlight a player that's not on that list. That could be a sleeper that you should start regardless. And that's Nelson Aguilar versus the Colt. So he's our start of the week at the wide receiver position for the second straight week. He's been solid, he's been getting targets. He's the number one option in Philadelphia with Alshan Jeffery out. And with Carson Wentz now in there with a more productive offense, Aguilar is a must-start. Our must-sits for the wide receiver position, our top ten. One, John Ross, two, Josh Gordon, believe it or not, with a Patriots, just because we don't know how he's going to be used in his first game. Don't know if he's going to be limited or not. Three, Jordy Nelson, four, Mike Williams, five, Robbie Anderson, six, Chris Godwin, seven, John Brown, eight, Randall Cobb, nine, Corey Davis, and ten, Tyler Lockett. In highlighting the sit of the week, Robbie Anderson vs. the Browns. So far, in 2018 he's only had four receptions in the last two games, including one reception for 41 yards. It wasn't a touchdown in week one, but that was the only reception that he had. And then this past week only three receptions. That's not the kind of protection that you want out of a number one receiver. And if you have an opportunity to start anyone else at a wide receiver two or a flex position, I would go ahead and do that instead of starting Robbie Anderson. For tight ends, our top ten must starts are one, Rob Krikowski, two, Travis Kelsey, three, Zach Ertz, four, Jimmy Graham, five, Jordan Reed, six, George Kittle, seven, Kyle Rudolph, eight, Trey Burton, nine, Evan Ingram, and ten, Jared Cook. In the start of the week, for tight ends, we're going to highlight Trey Burton vs. the Cardinals. He hasn't been getting in a lot of targets recently, but he did get a touchdown. So that kind of tells me that Matt Nagy in the Bears offense has a little bit more trust in them and they're going to use him more often. But also against the Cardinals, this is a matchup that the Cardinals defense is not that good. And Trey Burton has the potential and what could be a blowout to put up some big numbers of fancy football. Our sits of the week for the tight end position, one Jono Smith, two Antonio Gates, three Jake Butt, four Charles Clay, five Ricky Seales Jones, six Mike Gasicki, seven Will Disley, eight Austin Hooper, nine Ben Watson, and ten Jesse James. And to highlight the sit of the week, Ricky Seales Jones. So for the past two weeks, he was highlighted as a sleeper by fantasy football experts. Highlighted as a fantasy football slipper for the 2018 season before you even drafted him. But his production hasn't been saying that. And against a tough Bears defense, a top five Bears defense, until set otherwise go ahead and bench Ricky Seales Jones and pick up a streamer if you have to for week three to start off with this must starts for the week at the kicker position, because kickers do matter for the brand. One Steven Kostowski, two Harrison Butker, three Matt Bryant, four Justin Tucker, five Jake Elliott, six Will Lutz, seven Chris Boswell, eight Robbie Gold, nine Mason Crosby, and ten the newly signed by the Minnesota Vikings Dan Bailey. To highlight the start of the week, Jake Elliott. He's been painful for fantasy football owners. Trust me, I know. I feel you're pain because he's on my team. But with Carson Wentz now in the mix of things, he should be looking pretty good. Things are looking up for him. It's positive because this team now can get into field range more often because score more touchdowns. So it gives him more point after attempts after a touchdown. So Jake Elliott is must start at least against a Colts defense that gives up at least nine and a half fantasy points per game in 2018. Silver week for the kickers, one Mike Nugent, two Phil Dawson, three Jason Myers, four Ryan Suckup, five Caleb Sturges, six Sebastian Janikowski, seven Randy Bullock, eight Brandon McManus, nine Dustin Hopkins, and 10 Kaimi Fairbairn. To highlight the sit of the week, we've got Caleb Sturges versus the Rams. So this is more so because the Rams are tough defense. I know that the Cardinals offense and the Raiders offense is kind of sketchy as well. But in 2018, they haven't had their kickers get a lot of field goal attempts. Actually, they've been averaging less than three fantasy points per game. One of the Rams face opposing kickers. So Caleb Sturges for the Chargers, he's a must sit against the Rams and defense and special teams must start the top 10. We've got one the Vikings to the bears three the Jaguars for the Texans, five the Ravens, six the Browns, seven the Eagles, eight the Broncos, nine the Dolphins and 10 the Rams. And to highlight the start of the week, the Chicago Bears versus the Arizona Cardinals. So I'm going to give the Buffalo Bills a rest this week because for the past two weeks, whatever defense has been playing the Buffalo Bills, I already said that they're the start of the week. So let's go ahead with someone else. Whoever faces the Arizona Cardinals is the start of the week and the Chicago Bears a top five defense. Gosh, I would be surprised if they don't score at least 10 fantasy points. If they score less than that, I would be shocked. And the sit of the week, the sits of the week for defenses one the 49ers, two the Detroit Lions, three the Buccaneers, four the Bills, five the Colts, six the Redskins, seven the Raiders, eight the Chiefs, nine the Saints and ten the Falcons. And highlighting the sit of the week for defense special teams the New Orleans Saints versus the Atlanta Falcons. So it's questionable whether the Saints team has the same defense that they had last year. The number fourth ranked defense from last year, it doesn't seem like it's the same this year. And against the Falcons I know that they play the Falcons tough but so does the Falcons offense and I believe that they're going to score a lot of points on the Saints defense. I would just stay away from them. I wouldn't trust them this week. I would go ahead and sit them in stream defense if you have to. But those are our starts and sits week three in fantasy football. Now it's time for the last segment of the day and that is fan questions. So we started this last week. We had a great turnout. You guys have been flooding us with these questions. So can't guarantee that we'll get to all of them this week but if we answer your questions we'll give you a shout out on air and also if you go to the video podcast you can actually physically see your username on the video. So first question that we got is by nary 551. It asks do you think Mitchell Trubisky will become a great quarterback so in the last I'll say this in the last five six years there's been two quarterbacks actually I'll say three quarterbacks three quarterbacks that I've been very high on that they'll be successful compared to their rookie campaign going into their sophomore campaign and that was Derek Carr going into 2015 and Carson Wentz going into 2017 and both of those quarterbacks turned out well. The third quarterback it hasn't happened yet but Sam Darnold in 2019 he's going to be one of the best quarterbacks for that year trust me for Mitch Trubisky I didn't have that same outlook on him because it's more about the eye test and seeing them how the quarterback plays Trubisky I do think he has a little bit of stuff that he needs to work on before he can be considered in that league with them but I think he'll be in he'll be a good quarterback he'll be great with like two seasons who have like a probable season and he'll be good for years to come but I compare him more so if I had to compare him to an NFL quarterback right now he probably likes down the statistical realm of someone like Andy Dalton who's not a bad quarterback but it's not like Aaron Rodgers kind of greatness you know what I'm saying so Trubisky I like him I love Biscuit I think he's a good quarterback don't think he's one of the elite next question this is actually from John Castle so if you guys listen to the time football podcast the East analysis John was the was our special guest he's a big Eagles fan so John underscore Castle says this is more of a statement actually this isn't a question but we'll have a chance to have your statement read he says super early overreaction but are we not going to talk about how smart Andy Reed looks for taking Paddy Mahomes over to Sean Watson he looks like the MVP you know that's actually that's actually a good point there was criticism when the chiefs traded up from the low 20s up to number 10 in the 2017 NFO draft to get Patrick Mahomes like why would you do that if you're going to sit him for a year behind Alex Smith but they did anyways and they passed up on to Sean Watson a lot of people were saying well that was dumb that the Texas got to steal with Sean Watson but it's actually turned out really well and you're right John that it does make Andy Reed look really smart he's a good coach and it just shows that him and the front office of the chiefs are just so smart and scouting and picking out talent and drafting them that they knew that Mahomes was going to have a breakout season maybe they weren't going to have or they didn't expect something like this where you have the best two games in NFL history by any quarterback but Mahomes has been looking pretty solid for them and I don't think they regret the decision of passing up to Sean and trading up to get Patrick Mahomes third question that we got is by Alex underscore parent 456 and it's who do you think will go slash win this Super Bowl so a lot of people have asked me this and I try to be as possible but I'm going to let my bias kick in a little bit so I'm a big time Falcons fan and if the Falcons were as good as maybe like the Buffalo Bills Arizona Cardinals then yeah I would say the Falcons aren't going to make it but the Falcons are a top 10 team so I'm going to say on the NFC side they'll make it because I would really love for them to go to Super Bowl 53 and their home stadium and the NFC team that I got is actually the Los Angeles Chargers and the reason I have that is because they're I think they're a well balanced team on offense and on defense and more so though I actually have a bullet prediction that if the Chargers make the Super Bowl regardless of the Chargers win or not I believe Philip Rivers is going to retire if the Chargers don't make it this year I think Rivers is going to play next year but the Chargers make the Super Bowl I think Rivers is going to be like hey even if I didn't win I made it to the Super Bowl lived out my dream you know he's a family man so he wants to spend a lot more time with his family and he's been a man so he's done it all he has nothing else to prove so Falcons Chargers to answer your question is my Super Bowl and bullet prediction Philip Rivers retires if that were to happen next question is by Daniel underscore RT35 it's a fancy football question so you guys keep on submitting these fancy football questions we love them we love answering them he asks who should I start for fancy Matt Breida, Philip Lindsay Jared Cook Doug Baldwin, Carlos Hyde or Isaiah Crowell I'm guessing that I don't know if he didn't give a lot of clarity on whether it's a flex position is that Cook or Cook's is it Jared Cook Dalvin Cook I don't know it's not a lot of clarity on that but from what I can see I'll go ahead and rank them based off of what you think I think he's assuming Dalvin Cook so number one Dalvin Cook just because he's going to get the carries I know that he's probably dealing with some pain right now but if he plays this Sunday sort of against the Buffalo Bills and right behind that ah man a lot of these guys have some tough matchups Doug Baldwin he's hurt for a few weeks is that, did you mean Doug Baldwin it says backed when I think you meant Baldwin I don't know we'll skip that one um but Dalvin Cook um I'm going to go with Carlos Hyde right after that and then third I got Matt Breida for Phillip Lindsay five Crowell the reason I'm not big on Lindsay is because he just has a tough matchup um coming up against the Ravens um so to recap all that answer your question who should you start with, let's go with Dalvin Cook number one two Carlos Hyde three Matt Breida four Phillip Lindsay five Isaiah Crowell so whether that's running back spot flex spot you decide what you want to do with that but those are my rankings at least um and let's uh let's answer one more uh this is by Ask ah gosh these names are hard about okay I'm going to try one more time ask about Nandu what? I don't even know who do you think will lead the league in rushing and catching yards I think he meant to receiving yards wow um I should have done research on this because I ugh I don't even know um rushing I'm going to say I got to go with my gut and go with even though James Conner is up there Matt Breida's up there Lamar Miller's up there I'm going to go with Todd Gurley just the amount of carries that he's getting I think he's going to lead the NFL in rushing um I don't think it's going to be Kareem Hunt for a second straight year um and as far as receiving who do I think is going to lead the NFL in receiving I think it's going to be Julio Jones um monster game in week one had an alright game in week two but um just the amount of targets and receptions that he's going to get um could be Julio Jones but also up there I've got um Stefan Diggs I think he's going to be up there um also Antonio Brown if everything works out I know he hasn't had the best you know past two games but um to answer your question who do I think will lead the league in rushing Todd Gurley who do I think is going to lead the league in receiving Julio Jones wow guys by the uh by the looks of it I think that's it we we appreciate you joining us for for this podcast the the first ever week three 2018 um podcast and time football history it's the first ever because it's the only one that will ever do so um we appreciate you guys tuning in um just going to go with a little bit of uh plugs right here again patreon.com such time to football if you want to help support time to football um follow us on instagram so most of this content content is based off of our interactions with you guys on instagram so weekly polls um we didn't mention this earlier but if you get all 16 games correct when you vote on time football is instagram um then you can reach out to us um after this week and say hey we picked all 16 games correctly and we'll give one of those people that picked all 16 games correctly we'll send them a free t-shirt so it's actually pretty cool that you're going to interact with us play a game see if you can get your 16 and 0 for the week and we'll send you a free t-shirt um but also um if you're watching this video on youtube again go to the podcast app subscribe to this on there rate room review this podcast give us 5 stars help a brother out leave a nice review help a brother out but if you're listening to this podcast app go over to youtube subscribe to this on there that's where we come out with video content throughout the week not just Wednesdays um we come out with stuff on on Tuesdays uh Wednesdays Thursdays and Fridays those are our posting days throughout the week so we appreciate you guys again for joining us and best of luck to you in fantasy football on week 3 and uh and uh and uh yeah yeah I'll just stop right there take care
