00:02 Alvin Kamara, yes, plug him in.
00:04 He's great every single week.
00:06 If there was a real quarterback with the Saints,
00:09 I think Olave would be a first round pick in fantasy.
00:11 This guy's incredible.
00:12 It's just, you can't get him the ball.
00:15 And beyond that, there's just not a lot of options.
00:17 I guess if I set the total amount of players that we would play in fantasy in
00:21 this game, if I set it to four and a half total players played in games,
00:26 would you go over or under?
00:28 >> I'd go over cuz Taysom Hill would be on my list.
00:32 But yeah, it would be Barkley, Wandale, Olave, Kamara,
00:38 and then Taysom would be my fifth.
00:41 Now, I would not start Jalen Hyatt in a 12 team home league or
00:46 whatever, no chance, would I risk it?
00:49 But Bayley Fantasy, 14 team league, 16 team league,
00:53 I mean, I really thought Jalen Wyatt was a really good player in college.
00:58 I mean, he had five touchdowns against Alabama in that crazy game.
01:01 He is averaging 18.1 yards per reception this season.
01:05 He's like really, I mean, actually, he's really just kind of just like a junior
01:08 version of Darius Slayton, who every year the Giants are like, all right,
01:13 we're gonna sign a bunch of wide receivers and not play Darius Slayton.
01:16 And then Darius Slayton ends up starting all their games cuz he's just a good
01:20 player, is anything else interesting?
01:23 I mean, Darren Waller,
01:24 like just what is Darren Waller coming back for from this hamstring injury?
01:28 Like is Darren Waller gonna get seven targets in this game?
01:32 Does it matter?
01:33 On the same side, I mean, Craig,
01:34 honestly, like Chris Olave is breaking all the wrong type of records.
01:38 I saw a great tweet from my friend Ian Hart, it's the other day.
01:42 He has over 1,000 unrealized air yards this season,
01:46 which is exactly what it sounds like.
01:48 He gets these deep targets, right?
01:50 And he's averaged up the target is so high.
01:53 And Derek Carr just stinks and just cannot hit Chris Olave down the field.
01:57 It's just absolutely brutal.
02:00 And I mean, is Jameis better than Derek Carr?
02:03 I don't think so.
02:04 Like I think their record would probably be very similar.
02:06 But I do know Olave, Shahid, Michael Thomas when he was healthy,
02:12 all these guys, they would all be having way better fantasy seasons if Jameis was
02:15 their quarterback.
02:16 So we joke about Jameis Winston here on this program.
02:19 And it's not that I think he's that good.
02:21 But man, Derek Carr is just, it has been a, what are they gonna do?
02:26 What are the Saints do at quarterback?
02:27 Cuz I think Carr's on like a relatively decent contract and
02:31 they are just in total no man's land.
02:33 And I would say it's the NFC South.
02:36 So like any of these, the Falcons, the Saints, the Buccaneers,
02:40 they can all still win the division if they just go on a decent run here to end
02:43 the year.
