00:00Houston takes on Indianapolis, where again, another strange line, I guess, so to speak.
00:08Although, if you look at track record and history, the Colts have been really good in
00:13game ones of their NFL season and really good at home, too.
00:17So this is a big test for Houston to see if they can start off with a win.
00:20Long year, though.
00:21C.J. Stroud is starting in every fantasy league for you.
00:23So is Joe Mixon, Dalton Schultz in most, Nico Collins in all, Tank Dell.
00:29Stephon Diggs in all.
00:32So it's an all-hands-on-deck, more or less, situation with the Houston Texans this season,
00:36George, and a good environment to play in in Indianapolis to start.
00:41It's a pretty big divisional game here, right, really for both teams.
00:46Houston playing on the road, Indianapolis because if you want to say you're as good
00:48as Houston, you've got to show up in this game.
00:51I think there's a lot of pressure on the Colts, Craig, because Anthony Richardson during preseason
00:55sucked.
00:57He was terrible.
00:58He was bad.
01:00He was so bad where if he didn't already play five NFL or four plus NFL games last year,
01:04we'd be like, oh, should he be starting?
01:06You know, is he ready?
01:07Because he didn't look good.
01:09Just didn't look good.
01:10Now that being said, he hasn't played in three weeks because that's when the last preseason
01:13game was.
01:14So we'll see what happens here.
01:15And he's a very, he was a top darling pick, by the way, what, fifth overall quarterback
01:19taking in a lot of leagues here, which I thought was nuts.
01:22So we'll see.
01:23Bottom line is we'll see.
01:25I like the Texans a lot.
01:26All right.
01:27I'll lay with two and a half.
01:28Really?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Because he just didn't look good.
01:32I don't, I don't know what he's going to be able to do.
01:34I just, until I see it, I'm not going to believe it this year.
01:37I think Houston is one of the better teams.
01:39Listen, their defense isn't there, but their offense is.
01:42They can score points here.
01:43As long as, I think as long as Diggs doesn't blow his team up complaining about not getting
01:46the ball enough.
01:47I don't want to say they can score at will, but they're going to score points here.
01:50That being said, I'm the first person to tell you, I can guarantee you all any defensive
01:54coordinator did during the off season was try and figure out a way to stop Stroud and
01:59slow him down.
02:00We'll see how that works on Sunday.
02:01Yeah.
02:02Not a lot of film.
02:03That's a good point.
02:04George makes going into the season.
02:05Now you have a year of film on, on, on Stroud's a good point there.
02:10So Anthony Richardson, again, George mentioned that he did not have a good preseason, but
02:13you drafted him high.
02:15You got to play him.
02:16See what happens.
02:17Jonathan Taylor.
02:18I really like this year.
02:19I think there's a huge year coming from him.
02:21They really don't have a tight end that starts Pittman starting for you.
02:25And then beyond that, the Colts really just don't have other wide receivers that you would
02:29consider.
02:30So basically Pittman starts, Richardson starts, Taylor starts, and then George, we're going
02:34to wait and see if Downs is a thing.
02:36Remember we thought late, maybe last year he would be a thing.
02:38He really wasn't.
02:39Adonai Mitchell is there too.
02:41So more of a wait and see approach on the other Colts and really easy to pick from those
02:46names right there, right?
02:47Like three guys.
02:48That's it.
02:49Yeah.
02:50I agree with you about Taylor, by the way, he does have a monster year.
02:53Pittman's going to be dependent on what Richard can do here.
02:56I believe Downs is out this week anyways.
02:58So I think your decisions are pretty easy there, but not starting Josh Downs.
03:01I'd rather, I grant them in a couple of leagues deep.
03:04I didn't care if he started week one, he's once again, we'll see what he does the season
03:08rolls along here.
03:09I think Craig, with the Colts offense, outside of Taylor, I think the passing offense gets
03:13better as each week rolls along.
03:16Right.
03:17I think that's when Richardson feels more comfortable.
03:19So I'll get the ball, the ball to Pittman more.
03:21Downs will be back theoretically next week.
03:23So I like Colts as we go along.
