00:00So, all of a sudden, Jordan Whittington, only 13% rostered across all leagues, becomes at

00:11least a talking point, Joe.

00:13Look, if you're in deeper leagues, you should stash this guy right now.

00:18Because Pukenuku is not coming back for a long time.

00:20We don't know when the hell Cooper Cup is coming back.

00:23There's going to be opportunity here.

00:24And you hope that eventually the, look man, Demarcus Robinson, Johnson, like all these

00:29guys are okay, but Whittington's the one guy that really popped in the preseason where

00:33you went, wow, this, this guy's got the explosive playmaking ability, you know, Tutu Atwell

00:38is going to be in this mix too.

00:40It's going to be a lot of weird for the Rams offense in the next couple of weeks, but it's

00:44also going to be a lot of opportunity.

00:46And I think right now Whittington has opportunity to make a play or two here and there.

00:54And I could see just like we were, you know, ahead of the curve last couple of weeks with

01:00some of these players where if that week is Sunday, right?

01:03If Sunday is Whittington having a big 50 yard touchdown catch or something like that, or

01:08he just has a big highlight reel moment, it's going to cost you a lot of free agent budget

01:12to go get him.

01:13Yeah.

01:14Sunday mornings, typically you can add people for free, add and stash them just in case

01:18he does pop.

01:19If he doesn't, what does it cost you?

01:20The last player on your roster and you burn insured him, but I'd be holding this guy too,

01:24just to see if the next two weeks, maybe just maybe Jordan Whittington is a guy that could

01:28give you something and maybe become a flex worthy player.

01:31All right.

01:32We'll check a Jordan Whittington anytime TD and see what that returns.

01:36Let's close it out here with the defense, the Raiders.

01:38They are available in eight out of 10 leagues.

01:41Let's talk.

01:42Look, I don't care if Andy Dalton starting a quarterback, the Panthers are still a Panther.

01:46So pass rush is for real.

01:48I think they can create some opportunities.

01:50Max Crosby, my favorite football moment last week.

01:55Gardner Minshew throws a pick.

01:57Who's the first guy out there on the field, Max Crosby grabbing him by the pad saying,

02:02don't worry.

02:03We got you.

02:04I want to see the Baker.

02:05I mean, I want to see the Baker.

02:06I'd like to see Baker Mayfield.

02:07I want to see Gardner Minshew that I saw in college who was playing fast and loose and

02:11go out and be that guy.

02:12And guess what?

02:13Gardner Minshew tripped the dust off and they got a W. That's leadership.

02:17That's football.

02:18Max Crosby's got that.

02:19I think the Raiders got something special.

02:20Great matchup today.

02:21Stream those Raiders.
