00:00But another one-in-one game that, you know, if it was 0-2, I don't think anybody would have
00:08been surprised is Cleveland and Carolina.
00:11And this is, you know, a real pick-your-fighter, right?
00:14Because one of these teams is going to be 2-1.
00:19And it's going to be like, ooh, like, okay, maybe.
00:25And, you know, Joe, if you thought the commander stuff was funny, I thought the Browns were going to make
00:30the playoffs coming into the season.
00:31I really did.
00:33There was always a surprise team, and Cleveland felt like they had the ingredients.
00:37And I was basically ready to completely give up on that after what I saw in week one.
00:42They get the job in Tampa done.
00:46And this is a very winnable football game with Carolina missing their best defensive player in Devin Lloyd.
00:53I think the Browns are more than live here in their home opener.
00:57Yeah, I can't disagree with you there.
00:59At the home opener especially, too.
01:01It's a different vibe, a different situation.
01:04But Denzel Boston has really been the difference maker so far for this offense.
01:07We'd like to see Quinchon Judkins get more involved, too.
01:09I think this is a day where he does do Carolina, one of the worst in the league in terms
01:14of yards given up on the rush side of things.
01:17I mean, they have been absolutely brutal to start the year.
01:19So I would look for finally Quinchon Judkins to have a breakout game.
01:22And you've got a pretty decent number, 56 and a half.
01:25I mean, he gets one big run in there, and then the regular volume he should get, we're in good
01:29shape.
01:29I like the over in this game, too, to be honest, at 41 and a half.
01:32Because Carolina shows you that they can put up points.
01:34And I will say this, with Jalen Coker healthy and playing again, he's off the injury report.
01:39He's healthy.
01:39He's a go.
01:40You've got Ted Earl McMillan.
01:41You've got Jalen Coker.
01:43Bryce Young looks as confident as he's ever looked.
01:45Chuba Hubbard is clearly that one guy.
01:47And I'll say this, too, if you're looking for a buy-low running back right now in fantasy, it's Chuba
01:51Hubbard.
01:52Because Jonathan Brooks is not going to play for a long time.
01:54And there's nobody else in that backfield who can compete.
01:56So you need somebody here.
01:57You want to make a trade for a running back real quick before the game starts today?
02:01Chuba Hubbard is that guy.
02:02Because I think the next six weeks of him is going to be very productive.
02:05He's going to have a ton of touchdown equity.
02:06But Denzel Boston has been that breakout star.
02:09And I'm not surprised.
02:10In the draft process, I actually compared him to Puka Nakua.
02:13I thought he was going to be one of these sneaky good plays where people aren't going to draft him.
02:16He's going to, you know, in shallow leagues, he's going to sneak through.
02:19And to me, he had a little bit of that Puka vibe in terms of the route running ability and
02:23the way he was utilizing college.
02:24It really popped off to me.
02:26A lot of my colleagues weren't on Casey Concepcion.
02:28I was less in on him.
02:29I was much more a Denzel Boston guy.
02:31And so far, the first two weeks, Denzel Boston has showed out.
02:33And he brings touchdown equity to this game again.
02:36I think in week three.
02:38With Chuba Hubbard, the backup is A.J. Dillon, who pretty much is a non-factor, maybe period, but certainly
02:46as a pass catcher.
02:50Chuba, though, was a little banged up, we know, in the offseason here.
02:53I am curious if at some point Carolina brings in a running back.
02:58Like, there are just, there are some guys out there because, is Chuba Hubbard going to get a full bell
03:05cow workload?
03:08Like, I worry for Carolina that they're going to pass the baton and basically they're going to run Chuba into
03:13the ground.
03:14And when Brooks is ready, like, Chuba's going to be her type of situation here.
03:19We'll see how it goes.
