00:00All right, this next start set question comes in at the tight end position here.
00:08It's Isaiah Likely, Baltimore against Buffalo.
00:11Going to be a great game.
00:12Well, Mike Kosicki, Cincinnati at Carolina.
00:14Joe, as you often say, whomever falls into the end zone is going to be a tight end one.
00:18Likely is used a little differently here, but who do you favor?
00:22Yeah, this is a really tricky one here because I still see Mark Andrews
00:26ranked ahead of Isaiah Likely.
00:28And I just, I don't understand what's going on.
00:30Look now, since week two, Likely has had 40% route share, 8.2% target share.
00:35So that's not great, right?
00:37That's not going in a great conversation, a great direction.
00:40Kosicki so far, I understand, you know, he had that big week two against the Chiefs.
00:45Last week he was fine in PPR.
00:47I think Kosicki, again, is probably the safer play in PPR.
00:50But if you're in a standard league and you're looking for touchdowns, I just
00:53don't think Kosicki has any touchdown equity.
00:54I think it's all Jamar Chase.
00:56It's all Zach Moss.
00:56It's all T Higgins.
00:57It's all those guys, even Yoshi Voss, I think has more touchdown equity in this
01:01offense than necessarily Mike Kosicki.
01:04So I would lean towards Likely and rolling the dice there in this big game here.
01:09Um, but again, the safer PPR play in the full PPR is probably where I would go
01:15with Kosicki and just kind of hope for your eight or nine points and get out
01:19because right now that's getting it done at tight end, you, you, you get eight
01:23points, that's pretty much your tight end one this year.
01:26Especially with Nick Bride out this week too.
01:28Just don't have a lot of options out there.
01:31My gosh, what a difference a season makes.
01:33All right, let's turn our attention to the quarterback position now here.
01:37Anthony Richardson has Pittsburgh.
01:39It's going to be a tough go.
01:40Sam Darnold has Green Bay at Green Bay.
01:44Uh, Joe, it balls in your court.
01:47Eileen Darnold, but I'm not so sure.
01:50Well, I mean, Sam Darnold is QB five this year.
01:54I just want to say those words out loud.
01:57QB five over three games.
01:59He has eight touchdowns, two picks.
02:01This is very similar to that.
02:02You know, we had the Trevor Lawrence conversation at the end with Daniel
02:04Jones, right?
02:05Well, we're just looking at numbers and we remove the names and we just look
02:08at the numbers and we say, oh, look, this is the guy.
02:11And this is really who he is because this is how he's performing.
02:14Well, we could do that in a negative light or we could do that in a positive
02:16light, and if we do it in a positive light here with Sam Darnold, do you want
02:20the guy that's thrown for 657 yards and eight touchdowns and two picks?
02:24I do.
02:25Uh, that's the guy that I want to start in a huge game against Green Bay.
02:29Uh, now Jared Alexander is very good.
02:31He's going to give Justin Jefferson all he can handle, but where's Richardson so far?
02:35Well, Richardson so far is QB 15 on the season.
02:38Uh, he has just three touchdown passes and six interceptions.
02:43Uh, now he does have a hundred rushing yards.
02:45That's the difference maker.
02:46He has a rushing touchdown.
02:48That is where people would say, well, I want to lean this way, but against
02:51the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, that's really been so good.
02:54And I think it's going to do a really good job of containing Richardson, right?
02:57I think if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers, what you're going to
02:59do is contain Anthony Richardson.
03:01Keep them in check.
03:02You have that QB spy.
03:04You try your best to make him beat you with his arm and with his reads, because
03:07that's where his deficit is right now.
03:09He's got talent at wide receiver.
03:11He is still struggling to make good decisions.
03:14So if you're the Steelers, you blitz him.
03:16You try to contain him in the pocket, make him make decisions.
03:20And so far, I mean, this decision seems pretty easy to me, which is I'm going to
03:23start Sam Darnold, even though on paper it's green Bay and it's a big marquee
03:27matchup, I think I'd rather, I think I'm just real safer about what
03:30I'm going to get from Darnold.
