Speaker 3
Oh, because you're trying to do the opposite. I'm trying to undo your CD Lamb curse. Yeah, please go do that right now.
Speaker 1
Let's talk about Bijan for a second. I think we're three weeks in. His longest run in each of his games, 13, 19, and 7. He has one rushing touchdown on the year. He has caught a handful of passes, but not what we wanted.
Speaker 3
Yeah, target week one, that's the target share we want, 22%, down to 17%. That's still great. But 7% against the Chiefs, that ain't it.
Speaker 1
I guess I'm just bringing it up because I've seen a bunch of people get offers uh for you know trade away trade for Bijan Robinson and you know RB19 RB17 RB17 Tyler Algier has a role on this team what what's the like where would he get drafted if you drafted today like Bijan yeah he's still a first-round pick. He would be, I think, probably
Speaker 2
a top-five pick. He'd be right around where you drafted him. I agree.
Speaker 1
So you've made no adjustment to your view of Bijan Robinson's potential in this offense? No,
Speaker 2
I haven't. I mean, he has been a little disappointing as far as high output. Obviously, he's been— 13, 14, 12. Yeah, those are the fantasy points per game and a half ppr and that is a that seems like a floor and that's an awesome floor if you're talking about you know essentially averaging 13 points as your floor the offense hasn't gotten it together but his utilization has just been so awesome you're talking about 89 75 82 percent of snaps 86 61 70% of running back opportunities, 183, and 100% of running back reception. So the talent is there. The opportunity is there. I'm fully in on DeJuan. Would you take him or
Speaker 1
would you take Alvin Kamara? Because Alvin Kamara, right now, he was the running back 6-1 and 15. His attempts have been through the roof. I mean, they ran it 26 times last week, 20 the week before with Kamara. It's not even been a story of targets. It's been a story of just massive opportunities.
Speaker 2
Kamara is still somehow criminally undervalued. I'm happy to hear you put him in the conversation with Bijan. He deserves to be there. He was the running back four on a per-game basis once he was back from suspension last season. He's in that conversation. If I were to redraft today, I would still take the youth of Bijan over the age just from an injury fear. Right now, you've got Kamara missing practice, so can he hold up for the entire season? He usually does, but he also doesn't usually get the work he's getting
Speaker 3
right now the the auxiliary wide receivers here or Andy are you going right back to Shahid he like the
Speaker 1
shots were there like yeah I mean it's Shahid is he was never going to be a must-start guy even with those performances he was going to be a flex play okay so Shahid or Calvin Ridley you know's the category of decision-making you're in right now. Shahid or Darnell Mooney on the other side. Mooney's at home.
Speaker 3
Mooney's line right now is 39.5 receiving yards. I think that's borderline disrespectful.
Speaker 1
Well, the Saints are a good defense. The over-under is very low. There are a lot of decisions to be made in this matchup, and we talked about Pitts. That seems like a decision. The quarterbacks, I think we're probably sitting both quarterbacks down in this game. Preferably. But Kamara and Bijan are locks, but Shahid, Mooney, those peripheral, flexible guys. I'm fine flexing. Olave and London, are they locks for your lineup? Is London a lock? Yeah, they are.
Speaker 3
Yeah, he is. Yeah,
Speaker 1
it was nice to see. I mean, I know it was a garbage time touchdown the week before, but it was nice to see London score again last week. Is London in the just hold category right now?
Speaker 3
He is for me. What do you mean as in not trade? You're not saying – I mean, he's starting. I think – like, are you going to try and – would you try and trade him off these two weeks? Oh, no. I think the Falcons
Speaker 2
are just, they're going to heat up. His 24% target share is what I thought he would have when he, you know, when I started him out for the UDK, he ended up as my tight end, or my wide receiver 11, I think. And that was with a 24% market share. So I'm going to hold. The
Speaker 1
Los Angeles Rams at one and two take on the one and two chicago bears we just talked about this game in the context of a couple wide receivers in the start of the week chicago three point home favorites over under is 41 and so here we go it's been reported uh early this morning that the bears are going to give an extended look to Roshon Johnson, which they should, because any extended look at DeAndre Swift will leave you vomiting in the toilet. This
Speaker 3
is why Roshon was a waiver ad. There were some clips going
Speaker 2
around highlighting DeAndre Swift's choices as a runner. Another word might be ineptitude i mean you're you you were you were pretty kind with your words about deandre swift earlier this week was i yeah i think you said he's the worst player uh that's ever maybe the worst in the history of the national football league right oh man i mean just yeah he's hurting their offense like if i'm a bears fan i'm like stop giving him the ball. If you want to
Speaker 1
make DeAndre Swift some sort of screen game pass catcher on third down and give first and second to Roshan, although he can catch the football as well and is much bigger than you, DeAndre.
Speaker 2
I've got a great idea. First and second down Khalil Herbert, third down Roshan, and you re-roll what was just fine last year. Yeah.
Speaker 1
It would be better than what we're getting with Swift. So that makes Swift a bench for all three of us. His line is at 38.5 rushing yards. That is not optimism,
Speaker 3
and that matches everything I feel about him right now.
Speaker 1
DJ Moore and Roma Dunze. Now, I brought them up. They're my starts of the week. The secondary for the Rams is atrocious. The Bears are at home. Their implied point total is 22. I like them, but I don't know if you guys like them.
Speaker 3
Look, DJ Moore as a trade away, maybe you want to hold. Maybe you want to hold through this weekend because everything makes sense for him to have a good game. And a Dunsay as well. So I don't mind that call at all. The thing about DJ Moore is, though, if he goes out and has a bad game in this matchup, the value plummets. And Keenan Allen returned to a limited practice. It's limited on Wednesday. If he is full go by the time Sunday hits, Keenan Allen in week one was, was a target machine. If I'm remembering it right, he was 11 targets. He was 38% of the targets against Tennessee. Now, yeah, that's Caleb Williams first ever game, but Keenan Allen is exactly the type of wide receiver that Caleb Williams should love throwing the ball to.
Speaker 1
Let's talk about where Keenan might impact as well because Cole Komet was a waiver wire pickup. He had a ton of targets. That is a concern for me. Would you go Cole Komet this week knowing that Keenan's probably limited or out over a Kyle Pitts, or would you play Kyle Pitts? I would play Kyle Pitts. Yeah, I'd stick with Pitts. On the other side of the ball, predictability at wide receiver has been brutal. The answer has been no one the answer in this game if you if you like made me pick Demarcus or Tyler Johnson or Jordan Whittington or Tutu I would pick Tutu that's who I would pick to start if I had to flex a right a wide receiver from this team Tyler Johnson's done nothing And DeMarcus Robinson has done nothing. DeMarcus Robinson, one catch last week, two the week before. Like, 2-2 seems like when he's on the field, he does have something with Matthew
Speaker 2
Stafford that is a little, like, it was four for 93. What's funny is that he is this schemed up guy. Like, 2-2 is not in as often, but when he's in, he's in motion. He's targeted on those plays where he's in motion, and they're getting him down the field. I think that you are fine to take a shot on Tutu. I also think Demarcus Robinson is an okay play as well. Obviously, the four targets, he only came down with one of them. However, he had a deep bomb touchdown. It was like a 40-something yarder that he was called to catch at first, and then they saw he was out of bounds slightly. And so he's on the field so much. He's running so many routes. So I'm fine taking the shot there. I mean, there's not a ton of wide receivers out there that are doing that.
Speaker 1
Mooney or Demarcus Robinson? Mooney. Mooney. Kyron Williams. Yep. I think you should probably play him. Yep. Um, and pay attention to Roshan. See what he does in this game. All right. Minnesota's three and oh, they go to green Bay to take on the two and one Packers. The DK sports have a gliding green Bay minus three at home. The over unders 43 and a half. We excited for this game?
Speaker 3
Yeah, this will be my game of the week if it were not for the gift that the Carolina Panthers and Andy Dalton have given me.
Speaker 1
So the Packers at home here, what's the latest on Jordan Love? And, you know, are we expecting him to be back? It's still limited. I'm
Speaker 3
guessing he will be back. The play of Malik Willis, though, it's given them at least the opportunity that maybe they think, hey, we're at home, despite it being this divisional matchup. This is a very important game for the Green Bay Packers. If you fall to 2-2 and lose a division game and Minnesota's a 4-0 that creates a problem of trying to catch up so I think that Jordan Love is going to push to play. There
Speaker 1
are a lot of people that want to take the plunge start Sam Darnold after the four touchdown game I have a super flex league I'm going to start him over Anthony Richardson against Pittsburgh I don't
Speaker 1
we are we in for a pumpkin or are we going to continue to see Sam Darnold execute this offense at this level Aaron Jones Justin Jefferson maybe Jordan Addison back on the field are you guys confident with him on the road and in Lambeau because I'm nervous I think I'm
Speaker 3
more confident than Jason is. Now, Sam Donald's touchdown rate is astronomical. It's at 10.3%. And for a reminder, the baseline around the league for a touchdown percent, which is how many of your attempts actually turn into a touchdown, it's about 4.5%. Elite players can be up in the high fives, maybe low sixes. So that will come back down to earth. Aaron Jones will start getting rushing touchdowns. That will happen. But I believe in this offense so much. It's the same way that, generally speaking, you believe in Sean McVay's offenses as well. Maybe if you're streaming, maybe you go to Geno over Sam Darnold. I added Darnold in the League of Record. I have Jordan Love as my main quarterback. I'm preparing to play Jordan Love in this matchup, but I think long term, why I picked up Darnold, Brock Purdy was available and I said no I want Darnold on the team because I want to see if this is is something that can continue because I think not this not a 10% touchdown rate but I think that Darnold is can become one of those surprise quarterbacks that finishes in the top eight who no one had ranked anywhere near that
Speaker 2
To be fair, when I saw that you picked him up over Brock Purdy, I was like, what is Mike doing? So I think we disagree here. Obviously, I still just hesitate to believe that this is just going to be real and hold forever with Darnold. He's been great. I don't want to take anything away from him, and I love that you're willing to take the shot and say, Hey, um, I, I think it is legit. I think, you know, he's got the right coaching staff. You know, you talked about genome as maybe a play over him, but Gino is the comp of like, we've seen a player who was left for dead resurrect his career. And maybe that is what Darnold gets to do, um, this season. So I I'm out Andy, what's the tiebreaker there? Are you, do you believe in darnold the rest of season do you think it's going to hold up and be legit not not like top five but like do you think he's going to be a a number one no
Speaker 1
a stream worthy starter regularly the way we view purdy i mean purdy hit a waiver wire this past week so i i think sam darnold
Speaker 3
or Patrick Mahomes? Mahomes.
Speaker 1
I think if you compare him to Purdy, that's the best example that you can give. Now, Josh Jacobs was disappointing last week. You're with a different quarterback. He's not getting any targets in this offense with Malik Willis. They also split. I think that was the bigger
Speaker 3
thing for Josh Jacobs.
