[@chrisprice571]

Oops

[@hippieninja5001]

In my 14 man family and friends $50 entry league, my buddy drafted Waller as his TE #1 not realizing about his retirement. So after we all talked smack since the other TE were all gone, he drafted Likely to use for now…..he out scored all of our TE’s.

[@dannys9074]

Dude has been retired for the last like 2 seasons?

[@hippieninja5001]

Crazy bad tight end week.

[@rwu2013]

​@@dannys9074 just this year... he played last year.... 🤡

[@GlassMonGoose]

My league uses the NFLFantasy server and for auto suggestion picks it was pushing Waller fairly high for some unknown reason. Also a guy in my league drafted a free agent TE, then dropped him for Likely off waivers to start in the ravens game. But he also started Ertz and has a practice squad TE on his bench so who knows his logic.

[@rydrivelily5192]

I had Harrison Jr, London, and Andrews. It was a great week.

Mike on the Sunday show saying, "The Bears are a defense on the rise" was enough for me to grab them off waivers and they netted me 27 points. This win is on your shoulders, thanks for the hard carry.

[@pistolrx9313]

Thank you Mike Andy Jason and the Ducers!!! What a rough week! Good luck everyone!

[@sethrich5998]

You guys are definitely missing by classifying Seattle Seahawks as a bad defense. New Head Coach / Defensive scheme coming from #1 ranked Baltimore Ravens. Added Leonard Williams end of last season, added Byron Murphy in Draft, Mofe & Nwosu both missed significant time last year, new linebackers looked good, Love at Safety looked good, Witherspoon & Woolen at Corner, got rid of coverage liabilities like Adams. Using last years performance at Defense to say this team is still a bad defense is just wrong, this is a significantly improved unit both in personnel and scheme. Not a Defense to be targeting to play against.

[@bjpadill27]

Best $3 I spent in our auction draft….Brandon Aubrey.

Won on the last second Jerome Ford TD to scrape by my opponent! Watched Etienne, who I have, fumble while on his way into the endzone which leads to a Hill 80 yard TD, who I was playing against! I had conceded the loss cause the Browns were looking so outmatched so I went to use the bathroom and get food. Came back to a text from my league mate saying “I can’t believe you beat me like that” 😂😂 Fantasy Football is so back

Remember, Jason’s draft advice was to avoid injuries… and then he drafted Puka

[@MJ-in7ee]

There's always exceptions to the rule.

[@nickfalcone9753]

[@ericsele5500]

@@nickfalcone9753 puka fell to me but I passed on him for Pacheco. Not because of the injury tho, but because I was hoping kupp would fall to me in the 3rd. Kupp did not fall and I got deebo in the 3rd as my WR 1

Kyler isn’t WR friendly…the dude can’t read the field and wants to turn it into backyard football .03 seconds after the snap

[@jamesgratton6516]

That's how he's always played nothing new, take the hut n starts to scramble away from the line. I don't think he's ever thrown on time

[@chandand001]

If Kyler isn’t WR friendly then why did Hopkins finish as the WR4 in 2020?

[@jonathanhaven1690]

It's a fair point that Kyler and MHJ playstyle might not mesh. MHJ calling card is run a great route and create separation. Not really a YAC or scramble around guy. He plays on time. Not guaranteeing it will be bad. Just a thought to ponder.

[@lukeburgess310]

I hate watching kyler play.

[@voidboi0]

I dropped Purdy for Kyler. Caleb Williams on my bench. Bad decision? This week at least he scored higher. (This is also my first league ever)

[@thatguy66199]

With Love being hurt a bit of bright side is the fact that if he's out 2 months, that's only 3 road games and 1 divisional game which is at home vs the Vikings. If GB can eek out a couple wins they may still be in good enough standing for Love to return right before their more important games on the schedule.

For what its worth, The bills offense the highest success rate in the NFL so far and the 3rd highest EPA for week 1. even if it wasnt splashy it was extremely efficient. some clunkiness early on cause of gamescript but really turned it on.

[@MrBlair56]

I'd like to remind everyone that the Fantasy Footballers told us all that JK Dobbins career was over, after week 1 from last year. They need to invest in Stephania Bell because they don't know injuries whatsoever.

[@danielpenrodii2389]

It will be nothing short of a miracle if he makes it the entire season without another injury. Maybe he’s the physical freak who overcomes the odds, but human beings aren’t supposed to endure those kinds of injuries, at the rate he has, and be able to endure the stress of a football player. Them not being high on him is the correct stances because it’s a 98% chance of him never being what he once was. There’s a reason that 90% of dudes who suffer one of those severe injuries struggle to regain the form they once had. People who suffer multiple are done for like 98-99% of the time. There’s a reason for that!

I don't see an issue with someone doing a podcast about fantasy football while have a dip in. First of all, you're not teaching everyone something serious and "professional" like business etiquette. Second, you guys a re a fun podcast. You're style isn't uptight. The Falcon is synonymous with taking a dump. Third, you're talking about a game where the fans are drinking, and acting crazy, having fun, and dressing up in Halloween like costumes of the team. People wearing cheese on their head and Raider fans dressing up like pirates. Some people just like criticizing other people for little insignificant things
