00:00Got to start with the big move in Washington. Marshawn Lattimore joins the Commanders, won't

00:05make his debut today, maybe Thursday in a big one against the Philadelphia Eagles. Tell us what went

00:10into that all for Washington. Yes, so Kevin, you know, as I talked about last Sunday before this

00:16trade, that they are in on, believe it or not, some really good young corners. JC Horn, I'm told

00:21they actually looked into his availability. They were told he's not available. Anyone who called

00:26the Panthers for JC Horn, they were told not going to happen. He's playing today, of course,

00:29overseas. But they got Marshawn Lattimore. Now, they give up a lot. They give up three draft

00:34picks. They got one back, plus Lattimore. Lattimore, as I told Pharrell on Thursday,

00:37would not play. They knew this when the trade happened because he's had this hamstring problem,

00:42Kevin. If you really look at his entire career, there's been one issue. It's hamstring issues,

00:47strains, setbacks, and so forth. So you've got to be careful. Now, you mentioned a short week.

00:52They're not willing to say that he's going to play this week because what happens is,

00:56on Monday, they'll have a walkthrough. Tuesday, they have a walkthrough. It's a longer walkthrough

00:59Tuesday than the day before the game walkthrough before they take the train to Philly. So that's

01:05a tough order on a short week. But if he's available, it's going to help them play more

01:10man coverage. It was a big thing for them. But the other thing that I thought they might get done,

01:15I know other people on the league thought this would happen, is that they would add

01:18some help at receiver, which they didn't get. Opposite Terry McLaurin. McLaurin needs help.

01:24Opposite him, there's no question about it. They've tried a bunch of players.

01:28Eliminated Zaccheaus, who was with the Eagles last season. But McLaurin's a stud. He needs help

01:32there. Zach Ertz, that's why for fantasy, he's been so good because they're looking for another

01:37passing option. So bottom line is, this absolutely helps them. But the one issue on offense is that

01:43receiver. You look at their schedule, by the way. The over-under total is 11.5. The over is plus

01:48110. The under is minus 130. I probably would still like the over, guys. Only because their

01:53schedule is so good. Which, by the way, it's had one of the best in the National Football League

01:57so far. Adam, let's talk about some of the front dogs here in the NFC and comes right from the

02:01NFC North. That is the Detroit Lions. Aiden Hutchinson was absolutely, you know, pulverizing

02:06quarterbacks early in the season. He goes out for the year. They make a move for Zedaria Smith.

02:10Talk to me on that move. And also, was Detroit in on any bigger fish, let's just say, one of

02:14those guys in Cleveland? Yeah, I would say this with Zedaria Smith. He'll help them. There's no

02:20question about that because, and you mentioned Hutchinson, they're going to get Zach Paschal,

02:25who's basically, Josh Paschal, I'm sorry. Josh Paschal is an edge rusher who had been filling

02:31in for Hutchinson. He missed the previous two games due to illness. He will be back today.

02:35But Zedaria Smith is a proven pass rusher in the twilight of his career. You get him in there,

02:41and you get him probably half the stature or so at that edge rushing position. That's going to

02:46help them. They're really good at cornering. Remember last year, the thing that kept them

02:49from the Super Bowl was the cornerback position. They solved that issue through the draft and free

02:53agency with a trade for Carlton Davis coming over from the Buccaneers. So they feel pretty

02:57good about that. Their win total, Donnie, 12 and a half. The over is 165. I like the over still.

03:04Their schedule, it's hard. I mean, when you look at it, five quality opponents left.

03:09The under is plus 135. They're going to get 13 to 14 wins. For my money,

03:14they're the best team in the National Football League, those Detroit Lions. Yes, those Lions.
