00:00Let's go over the winners in fantasy football in week one.

00:02And I had one of these guys and still lost.

00:05Emeko Buka, I get four for 67 and two touchdowns and still lose.

00:10I guess you could probably guess who my quarterback and wide receiver were

00:13if that was the case.

00:14You just close your eyes and you can predict it by the end of this segment.

00:18Packers offense, three touchdowns.

00:21They look great.

00:22Travis Eten out of nowhere with 143 yards and three touchdowns.

00:25So good that they traded another running back on the team this past week.

00:28I'm guessing that was partially the reason.

00:29So let's go over the winners first.

00:32Well, look, Travis Eten, I will take offense to the out of nowhere.

00:35He was RB three two years ago in fantasy football.

00:38So last year he was hurt.

00:40He was never healthy the entire season.

00:41And I think the process that I had this offseason was if everyone is buying back

00:46in on Christian McCaffrey coming back and being an RB one again,

00:51then why do we not say the same thing about Travis Eten?

00:53He got a new head coach,

00:54a coach whose style matches up very well with his style of play.

00:57And here we are one game into the season.

01:00Now, granted, it was against Carolina Panthers defense against the run.

01:02They are terrible.

01:03Look for all the James Conner props this week.

01:05I can tell you that right now, all the overs.

01:07But at the same time, it was a very good performance and good enough where

01:10Tank Bigsby gets dealt to the Eagles just a day later.

01:13And now we're in a situation where Bachel Tootin will work,

01:16but it's Travis Eten's backfield.

01:18He's in the last year of his contract.

01:19They're going to burn and churn him most likely.

01:20So a big win for him.

01:22Jordan Love looked very healthy.

01:24I wish all his receivers were, but he's making the most of it.

01:27And that's very good.

01:28The Packers defense looks very good as well.

01:30The more Micah Parsons is going to play next week, that's even better.

01:34And then, look, when you're just looking around,

01:35Ibuka is a star.

01:37He is going to be a league winner.

01:38And sometimes losing in week one is a good thing, Craig.

01:41It's a lot of weird stuff, a lot of anomalies that happen in week one.

01:44But I would say consistently, you know, if you at least get guys on your team that look like

01:49they're the people you invested in, if you had Joe Burrow or if you had Dak Prescott as

01:53your quarterback, things will turn around.

01:56I wouldn't cry too much.

01:57I'm pretty sure Joe Burrow and Megha Egbuka will both perform well this year.
