00:00All right, now let's move on.

00:01We have a tight end question, and you mentioned monitoring guys in practice,

00:04especially on Thursdays and Fridays.

00:06Both these tight ends were questionable throughout the week,

00:08so you'll give us whatever information you have.

00:10Is it Dalton Schultz for Houston versus San Francisco?

00:13Again, tough matchup there.

00:14Or is it Mason Taylor for the Jets?

00:15You mentioned Justin Fields will be in, and they're at Cincinnati,

00:19which is a soft defense.

00:20So which way would you go?

00:22Well, I mean, we saw every tight end in the world score two Thursdays ago,

00:26didn't we, against the Cincinnati Bengals?

00:28I mean, they are the worst team in the NFL against the tight end.

00:31The problem is the Jets are just the worst team in the NFL.

00:34So how do you start Mason Taylor?

00:37I mean, I kid, but I don't.

00:41So this is the problem here.

00:42We are in the scenario where Mason Taylor should be the start on paper.

00:47There's no way you should.

00:48And I'm not saying you can't start Mason Taylor this week,

00:50but I'm saying if I have a choice between Dalton Schultz,

00:52who saw a huge uptick in his workload when those wide receivers went down last week,

00:56I think that trend will continue.

00:58For sure.

00:58Kyle Pitts had a good game last week against those 49ers, too.

01:01Let's not forget.

01:02And they're struggling.

01:03No Fred Warner as that linebacker anymore.

01:06All of a sudden, that's not quite the same defense in the middle of the field for the 49ers.

01:09So I'm very confident in Dalton Schultz.

01:12And I'm not the only one, too.

01:13The consensus ranking is tight end eight on Fantasy Pros this week for Dalton Schultz.

01:17That's very high.

01:18Mason Taylor at 12.

01:19So both guys are startable.

01:20But they started out this week very close together.

01:23And Justin Fields, unfortunately, just, you know, has not inspired a lot of confidence.

01:27And the fact that Garrett Wilson is out.

01:29Look, you think that if you're the Cincinnati Bengals, look, just don't screw this up here.

01:32You're giving everything on a platter here.

01:35No Garrett Wilson.

01:36You're getting Justin Fields has been terrible.

01:37The Jets are coming apart at the seams.

01:39I'll play Dalton Schultz.

01:41Mason Taylor, again, it's good process to play him.

01:43I just don't know if you're going to get the productivity, unfortunately.

01:47All right.

01:48This one here may seem like a slam dunk, but I want to hear from you.

01:51And it's a quarterback start-sit question.

01:53The first one is Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers.

01:56Great matchup here at Pittsburgh.

01:58This one on paper should be a dogfight.

02:00Or Jackson Dart for the Giants at Philadelphia.

02:03I mean, that's tough even if they were playing in a vacuum.

02:05But then, Joe, you know it firsthand.

02:07Put him outdoors.

02:08Put him in Philadelphia.

02:10Man.

02:11Eileen Love here, but I want to hear from you.

02:13I think Love is the safer play.

02:16I mean, it's a tough matchup.

02:17You're going on the road to Pittsburgh.

02:18Two weeks on the road to last week, they went to the Cardinals.

02:21Which, by the way, if you remember on this show,

02:23I told everybody about the sitting on the tarmac for seven hours,

02:28whatever it was.

02:29And maybe you should take the seven that you got with the Arizona Cardinals.

02:34And if you did, you done good.

02:36You done well last week.

02:38The Cardinals didn't even win that game outright for quite a while.

02:41Eventually, Green Bay kind of woke up and figured it out.

02:43But I think Jordan Love is the safer start for sure.

02:46Jackson Dart is startable this week.

02:48And I just want to point out, too, against the Philadelphia Eagles,

02:50last time we saw him, he was QB3.

02:5417 for 195 and a touchdown.

02:56But he also had 58 rushing yards.

02:58So, really, the value comes from Jackson Dart's legs.

03:01You didn't see that last week.

03:02But he still finished as QB3 last week as well.

03:05He threw for 283 with three touchdowns.

03:08I'm very confident in Jackson Dart on the road this week if you have to start him.

03:10So, I want to give people warm and fuzzy feelings now that Jackson Dart,

03:13oh, my God, I can't start this guy against the Eagles.

03:16Look, the more tape they get on guys, the more they're going to find weaknesses.

03:19And that's going to eventually catch up to Jackson Dart.

03:21But I do think that, you know, what you've seen so far is a guy that can't be intimidated.

03:26The vibes there, as the kids like to say, for the New York Giants right now between Scadaboo and Dart are there.

03:31They're really fun.

03:32It makes you wonder if they had Malik Neighbors, what this team might look like.

03:36But that rushing equity for Dart is great.

03:38I do think Jordan Love is the safer start.

03:40I don't love the wide receiver group.

03:42It's hard to love it.

03:43Christian Watson is going to be returning for him.

03:45We'll see what that does.

03:46But I'm starting Love.

03:49I need the real upside or if I'm in a bad spot, Jackson Dart is still startable against the Philadelphia Eagles,

03:54even though it's going to be a tough environment.

03:55I was at a party last evening around that area, and I can tell you they are very excited for the New York Giants

04:02and a possible revenge game here for the Eagles after that tough loss on Thursday a couple weeks ago.

04:06Ew, you like to socialize?

04:09That's gross.

04:11Okay, here we go.

04:11We have two wide receivers that are ranked right next to each other.

04:15I'm just kidding.

04:16Joey's a blast at parties, as you'd imagine.

04:18Sterling Shepard for the Buccaneers.

04:20You need to bounce back there at New Orleans.

04:22He's wide receiver 44.

04:23Or Josh Downs for Indianapolis versus Tennessee.

04:26He's wide receiver 45.

04:27Whom should I start and why?

04:28Take us to the break.

04:29Yeah, look, I think with the Mike Evans injury again, he's going to be out for the year basically now.

04:35I understand the people who want to start Shepard, but I would start Downs over him.

04:39A great matchup against Tennessee.

04:40I love the team total for the Indianapolis Colts this week, too.

04:45They've just been terrific.

04:46And last week we talked about that game, too, and I said the line was flat out wrong.

04:50And I was flat out right about that one, too.

04:52I got to tell you, like the Colts are a good football team.

04:55Jonathan Taylor last week.

04:56Remember we gave you two touchdowns for Jonathan Taylor?

04:57He scored three to one.

04:59He scored three.

04:59And this week, that number is plus 190 for two touchdowns.

05:03That's how good the Colts have been.

05:04I think Downs will benefit.

05:05He is healthy, and I think it's a great matchup, so I want to start him.
