The transcription is about fantasy football and how it works. The speaker explains that in fantasy football, players create a team by selecting the best players in the NFL. The goal is to have the players on your team perform well statistically, as each statistic on the football field is graded by points in fantasy. The speaker also discusses the different positions like quarterbacks, receivers, running backs, tight ends, kickers, and defense, and how each position earns points based on their performance. The speaker emphasizes the importance of having good receivers and kickers, as they can score a lot of points. The speaker also mentions the scoring system for each position and provides examples. The speaker concludes by mentioning the scoring system for defenses, which includes points for sacks, interceptions, fumble recoveries, and touchdowns, as well as points deducted for allowing points. Hello, hello, hello. How are we doing today? I'm just going to get right into it. Podcast, talking football, fantasy football, you know, all of the above. My name is Devon. I'll be the one hosting this. And basically, you know, we're going to be talking football, okay? So basically, general overview of fantasy football, how it works, you know. You get a group of guys, usually six to eight, can go more. I've seen leagues up to like 16 people. Basically, you get a team. Then you pick the best players in the league that you think will, you know, do the best week in and week out of NFL season, 17 weeks, not including the playoffs, just the regular season. So, yeah, basically, I'll be, you know, giving you a general overview. I'll be giving you my ideas, my takes, you know, talking general football. I play football, so, you know, I have good knowledge of the game, stuff like that. You know, obviously, this type of stuff won't apply to everybody, just due to the nature of, you know, not everybody being a football fan. But for those who actually care and whatnot, you know, I can give you tips and tricks and, you know, stuff like that. How to win your fantasy leagues. I won many, many years in a row. I'm currently 2-0 this season. And I've been winning by the landslide just because I'm, you know, picking the right people to play, you know, the right weeks and, you know, kind of working my things in and out. You know, obviously, there's a bit of luck included because you're not really going to be able to tell who's going to dominate every week. But, you know, you can try to give yourself a best chance. So, yeah, that's – so fantasy is a thing where, okay, you pick, you know, two quarterbacks, about four receivers, two running backs, a tight end, a kicker, and a defense. And, you know, if you don't know, the quarterback is the one who throws the ball, okay. You obviously, you know, top guys, you know, such as Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, you know, some of those guys that are at the top of the league. And a lot of receivers, they catch the ball. You know, fast skinny guys. Top of the league in that category would be like Devontae Adams, Stephon Diggs, Calvin Ridley, you know, some of the guys that are really good. And running back, you know, they're guys who get the ball, hand it right to them. They usually get a majority of the touches. Some top guys in the league for running back would be, you know, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Austin Eckler, Nick Chubb, guys of those types. And then tight ends is a mixture of, you know, all linemen and receiver because they block in, catch the ball. You know, in that category we would have Travis Kelsey, you know, George Kittle, you know, that's the best two that come to the top of my head, Darren Waller, you know, some of those guys. Then you got kickers, great kickers, Justin Tucker, you know, the best in the league. So it would be kind of good to have him. And then defense, you know, obviously some of the great defenses, the Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, you know, those are, you know, some of the best kickers. And basically how fantasy works is you want to pick a player who you think is going to score a lot of points. So every statistic on a football field is graded by points in fantasy. So say for a receiver, if he gets a catch, that'll be one fantasy point. And then the amount of yards, say he gets, say he has one catch for six yards in my league, that would be 1.6 points. So basically, you know, whoever you think will have the best game statistically is who you would want to be having on your team starting for that week and whatnot. So, yeah, guys who just really rack up the stats are great guys to have, who are usually top in the league. But, you know, there are some, you know, under the radar guys that just, they just get a lot of touches and things of that nature that have given them the ability to be, you know, high point scoring, but aren't really considered the best in the league, but are just great guys to have on your team for fantasy wise. So, yeah, that's how usually. So I could go over the scoring really quick. Let me log into my app just to see what the scoring is. I know for receivers in my league is one point for a catch. And then for however many, for every 10 yards is one point. So one catch is one point. And for every 10 yards they have receiving is one point. So say if, you know, Stephon Diggs on my team say he had a catch for 37 yards, that would be 3.7 points that he got on one position. So I know that's how the receivers are being graded in my league. I'm trying to see if I can actually go to the scoring charts. Let me see if I can get league rules. Okay. So for my league, we have, we, for starters, we have one running back or I'm sorry, one quarterback, two running backs, two receivers, one tight end. Then you have a slot where you can either put another wide receiver or running back in and then one kicker and then one defense team. Then you have six on the bench and three on the reserves. So, you know, that's who you have, you know, for your whole team. Then we have the scoring rules. This is what I was talking about earlier. So for quarterbacks, because, you know, they are touching the ball way more than any other position on the field, they are graded differently just because, you know, it's just a hard position to play. And, you know, if they got a point for every yard they threw, then, you know, teams would be scoring at a thousand points, stuff like that. You know, it's just, you know, ridiculous types of numbers. So for my league, passing yards is every 25 yards that they pass, they get one point. So if a quarterback throws for, you know, if you do quick math, 25 times 40, if they're for 200, they get four points. So, you know, it's kind of hard to get, you know, high numbers for quarterbacks just being so, you know, it takes a lot for them to get a lot basically. But where their points really come in is passing touchdowns. So, you know, even a quarterback that obviously throws for a lot, but another quarterback that, you know, scores touchdowns. So they get four points for every passing touchdown. And then the quarterbacks can get negative points. They are, you know, I wouldn't say for my league, obviously the only way to lose points, but the other way to lose points in the league is to fumble and then, you know, have it recovered by other teams. But that doesn't happen too often. But when quarterbacks throw interceptions, they get minus two points. And then say you have a quarterback have a great game and they have a 400 plus yard passing game, they get plus 10 points on top of whatever that they have. So that's how the quarterbacks are graded. Then running backs, every 10 yards that they rush, they get one point. So, you know, I'll just quick math. My running back is 87 rushing yards, he has 8.7 points. And then rushing touchdowns are six points. So, you know, you really want a running back that can get in that end zone for you. Receivers, every, like I said earlier, every one reception is one point. And then every 10 yards, you know, beyond that reception is another point. And then they get six points for touchdowns. So, you know, you really, really, really want good receivers just because they have three opportunities to score, you know. Quarterbacks have three ways to score, but you're really not going to see too many quarterbacks throwing for 400 yards. So, yeah, receivers, having a good receiver that can get a lot of catches and a lot of yardage will really, really, really help you scoring-wise. And then kickoff and punt return touchdowns are six points. Pretty much other than quarterbacks, anybody else that scores a touchdown will receive six points, just like, you know, they get six points in a game. And then final recovery for a touchdown, six points. Two-point conversion, two points. Final loss, minus two. And then kickers, now kickers have a plethora of ways of scoring, but, you know, it just basically comes down to if your team's offense can actually even get down, you know, the field to even, you know, kick field goals. So I've had kickers in the past give me zero points just because their team's offense is, you know, not very good. You know, kind of hurt me in the long run, you know, losing by a couple points because my kicker couldn't even, you know, even get down the field to – well, not my kicker, my kicker's offense couldn't even get down the field to even get him on the field to, you know, try to score me some points. So for PATs, that is one point. And then so a field goal made under 20 yards is three points. And then a field goal from 20 to 29 yards is three points. So pretty much, I mean, pretty much field goals from zero to 50, zero to 49 are all three points. And then field goals 50 and over are five points. So, yeah, that's how the kickers are graded. Basically, extra points are one point. And then any field goal from zero to 49 are three points. And then anything 50 and over is five points. So that's how they are graded. And so for the defensive scoring, sacks are one point – one point, I'm sorry. Interceptions are two points. Fumble recoveries are two points. Fumbles forced are five points. Safety is two points. Defensive touchdown is six points. Kickoff, you know, six points. And then here's where it gets kind of good, so to say. So last week I had the Cowboys defense who allowed zero points. If your defense that you have starting allows zero points, you get plus 10 points. If your defense allows one through six points, they earn seven points. If your defense allows seven through 13 points, they get four points. If your defense allows 14 to 20 points, they get one point. If your defense allows 21 to 27, you get nothing. 20 to 34 is minus one point. And if your defense allows more than 35 points, you get negative four points. And then, you know, it's very rare that a defense will score a two-point conversion, basically stopping the other team from scoring a two-point conversion. They'll get two points for that. So, you know, it's a lot at first. If you think about it, you know, just a lot of taking if you've never, you know, really heard of fantasy. But for those who know fantasy, you know, pretty general rules. You know, obviously they have two different types of scoring, half PPR and then, you know, full PPR. Those are just different terms. Basically, just scoring terms, you know, so to say. So, yeah, that's how we score fantasy football. So let me now get into, that was my introduction. Let me see what I have. Okay. And then in one second, we will go over my fantasy team after I pull that up. Okay. Give me one second. Okay. So, as I was telling you earlier, I'm currently, goodness gracious, sorry guys. Gosh, this is making my knees so hard. All right. So, as I told you guys, I'm currently 2-0 in my league. I've won leagues in the past, you know. And I'm not sure, you know, if you're on social media, if any of you guys are on social media. But, you know, if you go on TikTok or, like, Instagram or, you know, any type of social media, Facebook, you probably have come across a video of either, like, crazy fantasy football drafts or, like, crazy punishments that people will do for losing a league. And, you know, that's a big thing. So, yeah, the thing with fantasy football is there's usually a wager involved. You know, so some crazy punishments I've heard for coming in last place are things such as, you know, going to Waffle House and eating as many waffles. Or here's one challenge. I've heard of, I mean, punishment. One punishment I've heard of is, so, basically, you have to stay in Waffle House for 24 hours. And then for every waffle you eat, it takes away one hour. So, basically, say, you know, you start at 24 hours and then you eat, say, somebody eats something crazy like 18 waffles. Then now they only have to stay there for six hours. But, you know, I've seen people eat as little as 12 and have to stay in the Waffle House for 12 hours. So, yeah, I've just seen, like, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy things. That's not even, you know, touching the iceberg. I've seen people have to go to, like, one of the fanciest restaurants in their hometown with a teddy bear as their date and, like, you know, talk to a teddy bear. And they'll, like, have, like, a microphone and a teddy bear, you know, from the guy speaking, you know, as the date. Like, they're at home, you know, watching the whole thing. And they are just, you know, watching them, watching them, you know, making jokes. And the dude has talked to the teddy bear. There's a little microphone in the teddy bear, and they're speaking back from the teddy bear. You know, everyone's just looking at the dude crazy in the restaurant. So, you know, it's pretty funny to see some of the punishments for, you know, losing the league and stuff like that. But, yeah, and then, you know, I've seen money wagers and, you know, things of that sort. But, you know, some crazy fantasy drafts I've heard of. You know, I've seen this one, like, 16-man league that they have their draft in Cabo every year. And, you know, they take off of work and stuff like that. And, yeah, they basically just, that's what they do. You know, I'd love to get to a point to where, you know, me and my closest friends, you know, take it that seriously and whatnot. Because I feel like fantasy is, you know, it's sort of a game in a way. Because, you know, obviously you're trying to pick and choose who you, you know, believe is going to have the best game. But, you know, it also gives you another incentive of, you know, to watch the game and, you know, root for certain guys. And, you know, you're not just stuck on one game all day. You're trying to, you know, you have something to do all day on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, you know, searching for your guys on your team. So, you know, those are different types of things that go on before and after the season. Just a few, just not to even delve into the hundreds of punishments and, you know, initiations and stuff like that. But, you know, to get back to my team. So, for my team, I only drafted a few players, and then some of these players were auto-drafted because, you know, I had prior obligations. But, you know, just to give you a taste of my team, I've also traded some players away that I didn't feel were, you know, going to after seeing week one, I didn't think they were going to pan out to what I believed they were. So, for my team as of now, I have Jalen Hurts. You know, I'm a guy that lives 30 minutes from Philly. So, you know, by nature, I'm an Eagles fan. But, you know, that's not my true team. It's the Patriots. I've always been a Tom Brady fan. I just felt like even after he left, you know, I couldn't just turn my back on them just because I used to work for them for so long. So, from that standpoint, I'm a Patriots fan. But, by nature, I'm a Patriots fan, but by where I live at, I got to be Eagles fan. I got to support my guys. So, yeah. Yeah, just going off topic. Christian McCaffrey, you know, obviously if you know even the slightest knowledge of football, you know that he is, you know, number one, number two running back in the league. He's just a Mr. Do-It-All. He's just that guy. Like, there's nothing he can't do in his game, so to say. You know, he's had a game with a rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown, and a throwing touchdown. Like, he's just – there's not too much bad you can say about Christian McCaffrey at all. He's just – he's really good in every facet of the game. I just love the way he runs the ball. And the way the offense really uses him, they know how to put him in the right position to succeed. And I feel like, you know, the Panthers, you know, they were just trying to give him the ball and not really, like, give him opportunities. But the way the 49ers scheme up things, they really give him opportunities to really ball out because of the weapons he has on the outside as well. The teams aren't just focused on him. They have to focus on everybody else. And I feel like that's where the problem was when he was with the Panthers. You know, when they had Cam Newton, they were doing, you know, they were doing their thing because, you know, they had weapons. They had other things to worry about. But when Cam left and then, you know, they started trading pieces away, you know, the main focus was on him. And then now he's getting, you know, double and triple teamed and he's getting hit every play. And that's when his injuries started to, you know, build up and stuff like that. So, I don't feel like, you know, it was a great fit after a while just due to the fact that, you know, he didn't really have anybody else to help him really on that team. Not to say that they're a horrible team, but, you know, having Deebo Samuels, Juwan Jennings, George Kittle, Brandon Iyuk, you know, he has so many weapons on the offense that a defense has to worry about that he's not, you know, just bottled up like he was with the Panthers. They were trying to get him 40 touches a game. Like, come on, a man can only do so much. But, you know, him, Harry Sanford, he can get a 20, 25 touches a game and then still be healthy because, you know, he's not getting, you know, mauled every play by, you know, the whole defense. So, yeah, that is what I have at my first running back spot. And here's where when I said earlier about somebody may be good at fantasy, but, you know, you wouldn't consider them a top player in the league. And this guy is a perfect example on my team. I'm glad I have an example to, you know, show you guys. And my second running back spot is Rashad White. Now, if you ask the average, you know, football watcher, somebody who just watches just to be with the people and stuff like that, they really wouldn't know who it is. He's the starting running back for Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He, you know, split in time last year with Leonard Fournette and things of that nature. But, you know, this year Leonard Fournette has got traded and stuff like that. So, you know, he's kind of taken over that role. But the reason I have him on my team is his ability to, you know, I call him baby Christian McCaffrey because he can catch the ball so well out the backfield. And, you know, he runs well behind that big offensive line. And, you know, he's not really a top-rated guy. Like right now I'm looking at they have him ranked 39th in the league, right? And he scored. So Christian McCaffrey had an amazing game and he scored 22 points. Rashad White scored 21. But, you know, you wouldn't hear about that. And, you know, like you won't hear about a guy like Rashad White, but, you know, you're going to go on Instagram and you're going to see Christian McCaffrey highlights and, you know, things of that nature just because of Christian McCaffrey. But Rashad White, you know, great game, 17 rushes, 73 yards, one rush touchdown. And I can actually, you know, go back actually just to go up to, you know, show you guys how the scoring works. So let me go back to Jim and Hurts really quick. So passing attempts, he went 18 for 23 for 193 yards. He had one touchdown and he had one interception. And then he had 12 rushing attempts for 35 yards and he had two rushing touchdowns. So he scored me a total of 25.22 points. And he was projected to score 23. So, you know, he outdid himself. Then Christian McCaffrey was projected 19 points and he scored 22.5. He had 20 rushing attempts, 116 yards and a touchdown, three receptions for 19 yards. You know, he's like, you know, like I said earlier, he's that, he's him. You know, any saying that you want to say, you know, he's done it. So Rashad White, you know, scored what? He scored one less point than Christian McCaffrey. He had 17 rushes for 73 rushing yards on a rush touchdown and five receptions for 30 yards. You know, by all means, he had 100 yards all purpose. That's a great game, you know, but you're not going to hear about that because you're not going to see it. You're going to see highlights from the top guys in the league. But, you know, here's the reason why you just don't draft the best guys in the league just because their name. You don't want to draft guys who have a high usage rate. And by that I mean a high – so, you know, when I say high usage rate, I'm saying basically like a guy – like it just – it sounds how it is. If someone has a high usage rate, they're being used in a plethora of ways. You know, a guy, you want a guy that's, you know, running the ball, catching the ball, you know, having opportunities to just have the ball as much as possible to get you more yards, get you more points. And for that team, Rashad White on that offense, other than Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, you know, they're looking at Rashad White to, you know, get touches on that ball. And, you know, him having 100 yards is, you know, for him that's a light day. He probably wants, you know, upwards of 120 and things of those nature. So, you know, 17 for 73 rushing and then five for 30, you know, out the backfield is a great game by any means. But, you know, that's why I have that type of guy on my team because, you know, Chris McCaffrey, you know, did his thing, 22 points, and then Rashad White comes back and gives me another 21 points. So now I've got two guys. Anytime you have a guy scoring over 20 points in fantasy, you know, you're going to have a great week. So. Used in a plethora of ways. Yeah. So, yeah. Let me see. Okay. And then so for my first receiver, I have Stephon Diggs, you know, if you know anything about football, you know, Stephon Diggs is top five, top three. Some people, some people with the best in the league, you know, from my standards, you know, I was never, I wouldn't say I was never a Stephon Diggs fan. I just, I just, I just have my own biases, just based off the way that I play. I've had him in my top five or six, just, you know, just because I like a lot of receivers in the league and I like a lot of underrated receivers just because like, again, like I have my style of play and, you know, I like, I like dogs. Like, and that's why Stephon, you know, he was hard for me, but he wasn't as high as, you know, some other people. Because, you know, last year he got, you know, kind of didn't perform as well against, you know, better corners and stuff like that. But this year he's, you know, he's proven to be, you know, stepping up in the big moments. And this is why I'm starting to, you know, move him up my totem pole. I probably have him top four, top five right now, you know, moving out that top six and stuff like that. So he had seven receptions for 66 yards and that gave me a total of 13.6 yards. So, you know, that's a pretty decent week for a receiver. Any time you can get a receiver over 10, you know, that's really good. Calvin Ridley, the week before Calvin Ridley gave me about like 24 fantasy points, you know, he's right now, to me, he's in my top two receivers in the league. I just, you know, I just love his story and the way he's coming out this season. Had, I believe, either close to 100 or over 100 yards in his first game and a touchdown. And, you know, I try to put everybody on notice before the season even started. You know, he's the real deal. I've been watching this guy since he was at Alabama, since the guy was in high school. Like I just love the way he plays. I love the way he runs his routes. Super, super explosive. If you just type in Calvin Ridley, you know, Instagram, Twitter, if you type in Calvin Ridley route running, you'll see like, and then you try to compare him to anybody else. He just, he's what I call a unicorn. He's one-on-one. He doesn't move. He doesn't run like anybody else. And, you know, for him and me to play the same position, just watching things that he does, it just means more to me because I can dissect it better. And, you know, say if, you know, I'm not a musician, but, you know, if an amateur musician was, you know, playing in front of a professional and they see something they really like, they can enjoy it more. They can, you know, critique it. Their love for it is just different rather than, you know, a regular. And that's all I'm trying to say is that because I play football, we play the same position, I know what to look for, so I can appreciate the way he goes about things differently. So, you know, he had a pretty off week this week, I'm not going to lie, two receptions for 38 yards. But, you know, obviously after he had a monstrous first game, the chief game plan for that, you know, double team him, stuff like that, just trying to get hands on him, stuff like that, you know, knock him off, you know, what he's supposed to be doing. But, you know, I'm not, you know, mad at him. He's not somebody that's been underperforming this whole season. He, you know, he went crazy the first week. He outscored some of the quarterbacks, you know, who were supposed to be up in the high 20s and stuff like that. I believe he scored the most points on my team. So, you know, it's okay to have, you know, off week here and there. So I'm not completely mad at him. He's also, you know, one of my favorites in the league. So, you know, he gave me 5.2 points, you know, it's not the end of the world because I had, you know, other guys performing very well and I'm still 2-0. So I can't, you know, I can't complain. At my tight end position I have Evan Ingram, a teammate of Calvin Ridley's. Evan Ingram to me in that offense, I feel as though he's got to be top four, top three tight ends in the league for, you know, fantasy-wise just because, you know, I have him right here, he's number five. You know, like he's up there. He's very high up there just because the way that the Jaguars play and the way they throw the ball. Yeah, sorry about that. Just the way that the Jaguars play, they're very pass-heavy, you know, dumb-swinging team, Trevor Lawrence, great quarterback. Yeah, they just throw the ball a lot, basically, and, you know, obviously for a team that throws the ball a lot, I want their receivers because their receivers are the ones on the receiving end getting the points. You know, I wish I could have got Trevor Lawrence, but somebody else in my league already has him. I'm happy with my quarterback and Jalen Hurts just because he can run and throw the ball. But Evan Ingram, he had six receptions for 57 yards. He gave me 11.7 points. And for a tight end, that's why he's ranked number five, to get 11.7 is, you know, on the higher side. I would say tight ends, you know, average, you know, your average tight end is probably going to give you about, like, six to seven to eight, you know, six to eight points on an average day. For my tight end to get me 11 points, you know, he definitely stepped up in that aspect. And then so for my wide receiver running back slot, you know, the slot where I can choose either one I want to, you know, we basically call it utility. So in that slot I have D.K. Metcalf, you know, another big name. He gave me 13.5 points. He had six receptions for 75 yards. He's just a solid guy. I mean, you know, he'll have his weeks where, you know, he goes crazy. But, you know, on a consistent basis, he's giving you 10-plus points every week. And, you know, to have somebody as consistent as that in fantasy who has that ability to, you know, go above and beyond is more than valuable. So, you know, that's a guy I had to grab up. I have the New York Giants kicker, Graham Gunnell. He gave me seven points. He had four extra points made, and then he had one field goal of 30-something yards. So when it comes to kickers, obviously, you know, my strategy is to either pick a kicker whose offense is, like, you know, mid-ish, you know, someone that doesn't really score that much, but, you know, can move the ball down the field enough to at least give him a chance to kick the field goal to give me some extra points, or pick up a kicker from an offense that scores a lot, you know, because, you know, obviously they're scoring a lot, they're kicking a lot of extra points, stuff like that. So, you know, obviously I'm on both sides of the spectrum. So I believe that, you know, by picking him, you know, the Giants are going to have their games where they, you know, they're clicking on all cylinders and, you know, they're just scoring a ton of points, so in that aspect. Then again, you know, as we've seen in week one, when they got blown out 40-0 and he didn't even get a chance to attempt any kicks, oh, I'm sorry, no, he did attempt one kick and he got blocked. And so, you know, I believe that in that game that, you know, his offense wouldn't do that good, but would at least give him a chance to kick some field goals. He only got a chance to kick one, he got blocked. But in that aspect, I picked him up because of the, you know, risk-reward. And, you know, for my kicker to score seven points is, you know, really, really, really high just based on the fact they only get one point per extra point and three for a field goal. And on the high end, a kicker's kicking two field goals a game, you know, and then, you know, maybe two extra points. So not to say that they all go in. So, you know, you basically only have an opportunity to get maybe three kicks in a game just based off of who you pick. So, you know, obviously I could have got a better kicker, but I'll get into this later. He wasn't my starting kicker, but just because he was playing the Cardinals who don't have a great defense, I picked him to be my starter this week. And then I'll, you know, when I get to my bench, I'll kind of explain, you know, why I'm moving stuff like that. So if my start defense had the Cowboys who absolutely went crazy in week one, they scored 50 points, like a ridiculous amount of points, like 50 points. They had, you know, week one, they had two defensive touchdowns, seven sacks, three interceptions, three forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and a block kick. So, you know, 50 points in fantasy is literally like unheard. I'm not even sure if a defense has ever even scored 50 points in the past. Let me actually look that up really quick. I'm just going to look up top, let's say like top, top three defense fantasy games. Best games by defenses ever. Okay. Sheesh. Yup. So, yeah, so the Cowboys would have been right at number, number that have been talked for third place. The most ever scores 52, but none of these are within recent years. I mean, like 1989, 1950, 1984. I mean, it was like, you know, years ago, you know, defense couldn't actually, you know, do amazing things. Now they're just limited, but yeah, yeah, that's it. I just goes to show you how, how hard it is to, you know, get defensive points and stuff like that. They scored 50 the week before. They gave me 20 points this week, which is still ridiculous. They were only supposed to, they were predicted to get seven. They gave me 20. They had three sacks, three interceptions, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. So, I mean, Cowboys defense was a steal for me. It's crazy because I didn't, I didn't even have them week one. They were they were like a free agent type. So anybody in my league can pick them up. But, you know, as soon as I seen game one, I'll pick them up immediately because, you know, if I knew that they were open, I would have got them for week one just because the defense is so well respected. So yeah, that's, that's my starters. Okay. Then now we get to my bench. So for my bench, I have Daniel Jones, Isaiah Pacheco, who I went to college with and played with. He was my roommate at Rutgers. You know, can look it up, whatever. We got pictures and everything together, you know, I'm balking for his touchdowns, you know, he's celebrating, you know, when I'm having big catches on the field and if I get a chance to show pictures, I can show pictures. But yeah, Isaiah Pacheco, my guy, after they won the Superbowl, I FaceTimed him and stuff like that. And, you know, he was partying and popping champagne and stuff like that. So that was kind of cool. But yeah, Isaiah Pacheco, Mike Evans, Mike Williams, Jake Elliott is my kicker. And then I have the 49ers defense. So the way the bench works is obviously, you know, you can start, you can, basically you can start who you want to start. And then, you know, for the bench, you basically put on the bench who you don't think is really going to perform that well. So for me this week, I benched Daniel Jones, just based off of his first week performance where he threw three picks. You know, he outscored my starter, you know, which is going to happen. You know, I'm not really upset about that. But yeah, amazing game, comeback victory. His team was down by 21 points and he came back and, you know, he did his thing. He had 30 points. So, you know, I'm not even mad about that. Isaiah, I didn't start him this week. I started him week one because, you know, this is my guy. I had to start him, but I knew he had like a little, I knew he came off the field for a little bit, for a little bit of a shoulder injury. So I wasn't quite sure how much he was going to play. I probably could have just called him and asked him like, you know, how many snaps you think he'll get. So, but he didn't really play that much. He only scored eight points. So for me, you know, that was a, you know, you know, a great bench move, I guess, because my two-star running back scored 21 and 22. Hello, hello, hello. All right. Then I had Mike Williams on the bench. I'm not sure why I didn't start him. Yeah, I'm not sure, but he scored 29 points. He went absolutely crazy. He had six receptions for 171 yards and a touchdown. Mike Williams, my guy, I mean, sorry, Mike Evans. I always liked his play style, you know, big receiver like me. And I just, I just, I feel like, like the way he plays ball. So, so the next guy and Mike Williams, another big receiver goes, I think he just goes and snatch the ball up air and kind of similar to my play style. He scored 16 points. He had eight receptions for 83 yards and he had one rush for three yards. He scored 16. So he had, you know, he had a, a better game than two of my receivers. Well, actually, oh, he had a better game than all my receivers. So, you know, basically, you know, you're going to, sometimes you're going to sit out, you know, guys that have better games than your starters and you just got to live with it. Basically, if I would have, you know, even though I won, if I would have started, say, say if I would have started any of these guys over my starters, I could have probably had a possibility of scoring, you know, 20 to 25 more points just based off of the numbers. But I'm not mad at all. I'm still 2-0. Then Jake Elliott, obviously he's my number one picket kicker, just because he's the kicker for the Eagles. Eagles have a dynamic offense. They really move the ball well, get in field goal range, score touchdowns, stuff like that. He, though he's on my bench, he scored 12 points. He helped score on my front kicker again. You know, it's going to happen. You just got to live with it. But, you know, you'll also have good, good moves. Like, you know, when I, when I bench Pacheco, due to his minor injury, you know, if I would have started him, I would have more than blacked out. If my second run backs were 13, I would have still have one by five, but, you know, it would have just been more of a nail biter. And then the last person or last, you know, thing I have on my bench is the 49ers defense. They only scored five points. You know, I just know the history between the 49ers and the Rams. They usually always have good games. It's usually a shootout. That's why I didn't start them just because I knew, yeah, like, I knew it was going to be a shootout just because the two coaches have been coaching with each other for years and, you know, they, they never, they never let you down with a good game. So that is why I did that. All right. Sorry. Just checking in really quick. And then I have a few more topics to talk about. Let's take, let's actually take a small little, say two and a half minute break while I play some tunes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
