00:00This first one comes in here, it's a name on the tip of everyone's tongues.

00:06It's Audrick Estime, and he has Atlanta, he's a new back there in Denver, and we're going

00:10to see what he can do.

00:11Or is it Jalen Warren, who has a tough matchup against Baltimore, at least on the ground?

00:16Joe?

00:17I love the flavor of the Audrick Estime, it was very nice, the way you said that, it's

00:22very good, and that's the right girl.

00:24Audrick Estime had a tough matchup last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, by who, the

00:30French?

00:31Like the French are going to cancel me?

00:32Come on.

00:34They'll surrender before they even get there.

00:36Oh!

00:37You're not helping your situation, Joe.

00:39Fantasy football is huge in France, they love it.

00:43Their favorite play, the kneel down.

00:44Kneel down at the end of it.

00:50Audrick Estime, it was the hot hand last week, but it was against the Kansas City Chiefs,

00:54a tough run defense, so I don't want to take too much out of that small sample.

00:58What I will take is that this week's matchup is much better against the Atlanta Falcons.

01:03Jalen Warren on the other side against Baltimore, it is tough to run the football against Baltimore,

01:07so unless Jalen Warren's really working a lot and getting six catches for 60 yards,

01:12which is not impossible, then Jalen Warren could become a fantasy as of this week, too.

01:18But despite the fact they're both flex-worthy, I think I'll play Estime instead.

01:22I think he might have a little bit more touchdown equity, a bigger bodied guy in his time at

01:26Notre Dame, and I think you might see a little bit more of that power run game today from

01:30Denver.

01:31The downside also is Bo Nix likes to run a little bit, so that can hurt the running back

01:34sometimes, just ask Javante Williams.

01:35But if you recall, two weeks in a row we went under on Javante Williams on this show, right?

01:40It hit both weeks, did it not?

01:42It crushed.

01:43So, now it's a matter of tough matchups, plus Javante Williams not really playing well.

01:47Do they go right back to Javante?

01:49Is it a 50-50 backfield?

01:51Does Estime the hot hand?

01:52And we're just going to see what happens there.

01:54Atlanta Falcons towards the bottom third of the league in terms of run defense, so I think

01:58there's real possibility here.

01:59Our producer Jake actually asked a really good question, too, because he's trying to

02:02figure out Audrick Estime or Travis Aetienne, and although Bixby is out today, I still think

02:09I'd want to play Estime.

02:10I think he has more touchdown equity in this game, I just don't like Mac Jones.

02:14To tell you the truth, Bo Nix has done a pretty good job here, much better than I thought,

02:18managing this offense.

02:19So, give me Audrick Estime against the Atlanta Falcons.

02:22I just think there's more upside potentially, more touchdown equity than some of those other

02:25guys we're talking about.

02:26Yeah, T.D. Jake, a nice, good, clean-cut, straight-edge, church-going boy.

02:32Ladies, if you're out there, man, he's 23 years old, he's a hulking young man.

02:36Hit him up.

02:37That's sports grid, man.

02:38That's what we do.

02:39We just put these studs across the board.

02:40And he's like a full handicap, I hear.

02:41Like, he's a very good golfer, too.

02:42Yeah.

02:44He's just a great guy all around.

02:45Alright, so, if you're not interested in Jalen Warren, maybe I can interest you in Jalen Waddell.

02:49Jalen Waddell has Las Vegas, or Quentin Johnson, and I know we're going to talk about how Cincinnati

02:53is soft in the secondary and how that leans Johnson, but at the same time, Waddell's big

02:58playability does make him attractive, Joe.

03:00Who should I start, who should I sit?

03:03Jalen Waddell had five catches for 109 yards in Week 1.

03:06He hasn't gone over 10 yards in a game until last week.

03:11Now, I understand there was a bunch of weeks where he wasn't playing with Tua, so fine.

03:14We'll take that with a grain of salt.

03:16But he's had Tua the last couple weeks.

03:18I mean, I just, my frustrations with the Miami Dolphins are not quite as bad as Dolphins

03:24fans, but it is frustrating to watch this team.

03:27And I know they finally came out with a W here, but I'm going to take Quentin Johnson

03:29here.

03:30I think he's got more touchdown equity against Cincinnati Bengals.

03:33I think you're seeing him get more and more comfortable in this offense.

03:36And I said at the beginning of the year, we talked about guys that were deep sleepers

03:39and ones that were left for dead.

03:40We talked about Quentin Johnson and people were just kind of, were doing just that, leaving

03:44him on the doorstep and saying, okay, it's over, it's done.

03:47After one year.

03:48After one year?

03:49That's kind of insane.

03:50Quentin Johnson had a terrific college career for his, for his years over there.

03:56And I just don't understand why we're trying to, why we're trying to all of a sudden get

04:02rid of players or cut loose talent after one year, especially in bad regimes, right?

04:06Brennan Staley's not a very good football coach.

04:09I think we all can agree that Jim Harbaugh is a much better football coach.

04:12So they're finding ways to use Quentin Johnson and get him out there and blown coverages.

04:17Quentin Johnson can, you know, take advantage of mistakes.

04:20And if there's one secondary that gives you a lot of broken coverages, it's a Cincinnati

04:23Bengals.

04:24So give me QJ.

04:25I know this is crazy.

04:26I know Waddles ranked higher, but I want Quentin Johnson.
