00:00Fantasy Stars for Wild Card Weekend, Joe.

00:02Let's talk here.

00:03Who are the people that we need to be focusing on?

00:05How can we better ourselves?

00:07How can they better themselves?

00:09Let's talk.

00:10Where do you want to go first?

00:11Well, I want to talk about who I think are going to be the big impact players in certain games today.

00:15And I think when you're looking at Buffalo, it's very easy to say Josh Allen.

00:18It's very easy to say Trevor Lawrence.

00:19It might even be easy at this stage to say Jacoby Myers with the way he's played here down the stretch for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

00:25And maybe next week we talked about all those league winner guys.

00:27Maybe the league loser guys, like the biggest busts at disappointments, because Brian Thomas Jr. has to be on that list.

00:33The guy drafted in the first round.

00:34Oh, you don't want to know where he finished at wide receiver number.

00:37You don't want to talk about that.

00:39We'll save that conversation maybe for next week.

00:40But Travis Etienne was on that league winner list there, that return on investment list.

00:45And I think he returns an investment.

00:47Going back to what I said earlier in the day about, you know, you have a situation where if you're game planning against Buffalo Bills,

00:54you need to keep Josh Allen limited as much as you can with the football.

00:58Time of possession matters.

01:00You got to run the football.

01:01Liam Cohen's smart.

01:02Liam Cohen's going to figure that out.

01:03He's going to understand that.

01:04And Travis Etienne has had a great season with Liam Cohen in this offense.

01:08And I think that a lot of people thought, well, Basial Tootin's going to take over.

01:11They didn't want him because Tank Bigsby was going to be a thing.

01:15Tank Bigsby got traded week two.

01:16Okay?

01:17Bye-bye.

01:18He's on the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:19So this is Travis Etienne's backfield.

01:21And I know Tootin's a fun player.

01:23I like Basial Tootin as well.

01:25Maybe next year he becomes the guy.

01:26We'll see.

01:27But for this particular week here, for this particular game plan, I think Travis Etienne is going to be heavily involved.

01:33So I like his touchdown equity if you're betting anytime touchdowns for Travis Etienne.

01:36And I think the secret to the Jags success here is play defense, run the football, control possession, control the clock.

01:42And then you're giving Josh Allen less chances to beat you.

01:46And when you do that, I think that's a recipe for success.

01:49Matt, any take on Travis Etienne or this Buffalo Bills-Jags game that we have here kicking things off on Sunday?

01:56Well, to echo what you said in an earlier segment, that that most logical game script for Jacksonville to be successful in this game,

02:03Travis Etienne must be a vital part of that.

02:06Even if they choose to get cute and give different looks, at the end of the day, you have to go what gets you to the dance.

02:11I also want to echo what I said in an earlier segment with regards to that.

02:16I believe teams like Buffalo and Philadelphia, these are the teams that wait for the second season.

02:20And once they get in, it's the we've been here before and we know how to win.

02:23So my pick is Buffalo for this game.

02:26I know you and everyone else leaning Jacksonville.

02:28And the beauty of it is, God willing, we live and be well.

02:30We'll return next week.

02:31We'll be able to talk about it.
