00:00Because I think they got a good shot, George, this week to beat the Indianapolis Colts.

00:04Their defense is playing at such a high level, sacking the quarterback.

00:07It's the best defense in the NFL.

00:09I heard somebody say the other day, the Broncos, are they kidding me?

00:11Have they not watched this?

00:12I mean, you play them in fantasy, even if they give up two touchdowns,

00:15they're getting six, seven sacks every game.

00:18They play the Colts this week.

00:19And Houston really has nothing offensively outside of Nico Collins,

00:24maybe Dalton Schultz, I guess, to like even start in fantasy.

00:26I probably would just bank on the defense, go with those players, and that's it.

00:31On the side of the Colts, it was reported earlier in the week

00:33that Daniel Jones has a fractured fibula.

00:37I mean, I guess that takes away some of the running with him.

00:40His receivers are still Michael Pittman.

00:41I still feel like you got to play Pittman.

00:43I still feel like you got to play Jonathan Taylor.

00:46But am I crazy for thinking Houston can upset Indianapolis

00:49and sort of roll into Saturday at 4.30 p.m.

00:52and about a month from now?

00:53What do you think?

00:54All right.

00:55First off, fractured fibula sounds bad to me.

01:00Sounds bad.

01:01All right.

01:01And I wonder if he's had this for a couple of weeks now with Daniel Jones, right,

01:04because he hasn't been playing well for a little while here.

01:06So I have my worries a lot about Daniel Jones.

01:09Is he going to be a statue back there, Craig?

01:11You already said it.

01:12He was just getting six, seven sacks a game.

01:14I don't know if that's stopping here.

01:16Any time it says a good offensive line, it's not great.

01:18I don't know.

01:19I'm very curious about the game plan here.

01:21There's got to be a lot of jump and tail, a lot of short pass throws.

01:23Right?

01:23It has to be.

01:24So I expect Tyler Warren to have a big game.

01:26He's starting anyway.

01:26Yeah, I'm starting Pittman.

01:27All right.

01:28I doubt I can do better than him.

01:30I mean, I love it, but I'm starting him there.

01:33I don't want to start Daniel Jones.

01:35So I hope I can do better than that in a super flex league.

01:38And I think in a one quarterback league, you're fine.

01:40You should be able to do better.

01:42Houston, Stroud's back.

01:43Right?

01:43Over the concussion, Craig.

01:44He's back.

01:45Who cares?

01:46It wasn't very good to begin with this year.

01:48And he really was very good last year.

01:49Woody Marks, you may have to start.

01:51Maybe you can't do better than that here.

01:52Dalton Schultz, you already talked about here.

01:54Nico Collins goes for me.

01:55To answer your question, I think Houston wins the game.

01:58All right?

01:59I think it's going to be close.

02:0021-17, something like that.

02:02You know, lower scoring game.

02:03I think they win the game.

02:04They're the hot team.

02:05That defense is legit here.

02:07And Daniel Jones, as I said, last couple of weeks not playing well.

02:09Fractured fibula?

02:11No.

02:12No.

02:12I mean, this sounds like, why is he starting?

02:15You know?

02:15What is he, Jack?

02:16You know, you and I are old.

02:17Jack Youngblood back in the day who played in a broken line?

02:19No.

02:20Just no.

02:22No.

02:22Give me Houston.

02:24All right.

02:24So this is a fascinating fantasy game.

02:26A lot to unpack here.

02:27So we'll spend a little time on it.

02:28So all of a sudden, the best receiver in fantasy football the last two weeks,

02:34his name is Michael Wilson on the Arizona Cardinals.

02:37And the reason why this has happened is because courtesy of Jacoby Brissett.

02:41But let's not get it twisted, George.

02:43The Cardinals stink.

02:44Like, they are headed to the end of the season playing a career backup with

02:49Michael Wilson, who, by the way, congrats to him.

02:51He's having, I mean, he may not even be playable in fantasy next season.

02:54Arizona is horrible.

02:56No defense.

02:57Somehow just clinging to these games on offense.

02:59I think they're headed toward a rebuild at the end of this year.

03:01I know that they were headed toward that a couple of years ago when they

03:03fired Cliff Kingsbury.

03:05But I think they're headed there again.

03:06On the side of Tampa Bay, George, they have fallen apart this season.

03:11We thought a month ago we would be playing Baker Mayfield and Emeka Ibuka.

03:15And whoever was at running back this week, I could make the case, as you said,

03:18with no bye weeks, with Bucky back, Bucky Irving, I don't know that I could start him.

03:23If I have better options at Ibuka, I think I probably would start them.

03:27I think Baker Mayfield's going to play.

03:29I'm not sure I'm playing him either.

03:31So, I mean, could Arizona go in to Tampa and win this?

03:34I mean, maybe they can.

03:35I don't like them at all.

03:37I think they're horrible.

03:38And I think they're chasing the first pick in the draft.

03:40But I got some confusion, starter set, with this team, to be honest with you.

03:44I agree, I'm sorry, with everything you said, by the way.

03:49It's a mess.

03:50It's a mess.

03:52All right, these are guys that we want to start him.

03:53I'm starting Percette.

03:56He's thrown the ball 88 times a game.

03:58All right, I'm starting him.

03:59Marvin Harrison is questionable, right, coming back from the appendix.

04:01We're probably not going to find out until 11.30 Sunday morning if he's active or not.

04:05And if he is, by the way, I'm probably not starting him.

04:08I know he played better with Percette than Kyler Murray, but I'm probably not starting him.

04:12Bam Knight should go.

04:13That's probably good enough for me.

04:14He might get to the end zone here.

04:15No, Amari DiMucato, he's out.

04:17Wilson's starting for me.

04:19Listen to me, desperate.

04:20Greg Dorch, all right, the human Dorch.

04:22He can go for.

04:23He's catching touchdowns there.

04:25Trey McBride is a definite there.

04:26You're right about Ibuka.

04:29I really don't want to start him here.

04:31Mayfield's going to start.

04:32He's got the, what, the problem with his left shoulder, non-throwing shoulder here.

04:36But, Craig, he's going to get hit.

04:38I don't know how that's going to feel.

04:39George, didn't this happen to him before?

04:41Didn't he have this injury before?

04:43And he was like, oh, I'm constantly on the ground.

04:45That's what it was.

04:46That time he tore the labor.

04:47He tore the labor in that time.

04:48It's not quite as bad here.

04:50But I don't, what I'm trying to tell you is I think we see Teddy Bridgewater at some point on Sunday.

04:54Yeah.

04:54All right.

04:54I agree.

04:55He's going to get in there.

04:56So, yeah, Ibuka, Irving Tucker, Rashad White, they're all going to eat each other, right?

05:01It's just, it's not going to be good for fantasy.

05:03But like you said, if Mayfield's starting, not for my fantasy team, I already said I think you'll see Bridgewater.

05:08So, I'm not starting Mayfield here.

05:09Godwin, no thanks.

05:10I know they say he's going to play more.

05:12Don't care.

05:13You know, I'll wait another week here.

05:15Kate Otten, I guess if you're desperate here.

05:17It's a mess.

05:17It's a complete mess.

05:19The Cardinals are a more fun fantasy team.

05:20But, yeah.

05:21Probably.

05:21You know, I think through the whole fantasy team.

05:38The Cardinals are a home.
