Kelly and Craig Horlebeck, who is back. You're alive, Craig. We thought you were worried about it. I turned 30 and I immediately got quite sick. Welcome. Welcome to the rest of your life. Yeah, I'm back now. I feel like I still sound sick, but that's all right. I'm excited to be here. I listened to your guys' episode from Monday. Thought it was pretty mediocre without me. I'm not going to lie.

Thanks, Craig. Just kidding. You guys did a great job, as always. I really enjoyed it. Yeah, I'm glad that you and your razzly-ass voice can come here today. Okay, today we were discussing players we hate, but we have to rank them. And every year there's just a bunch bunch of guys that we kind of hate. And we don't really want them on any of our teams at almost any price you would reasonably get them. And yet we feel like there's like a fiduciary duty where like you have to rank them because what am I going to do? Like, not rank Corlin Sutton? Like that's a little crazy. Just leave him off. But I don't really want him on my team.

I almost, there's almost no round where I do want Coralett and Sutton. But, like, I can't do that. I have to rank them. And so this is just where we admit all the players we hate, right? Like, Craig, should we be going the other way and actually just moving all these guys off our boards or are we doing, like, the responsible thing? Well, we debated having the fuck it rankings as like a separate tab on our rankings, which you can find at fantasy football dot the ringer.com, where it was just like, look, I'm not drafting two of this year, so he just wouldn't even be on my rankings. We didn't do that, but that's kind of what the show is a replacement of having the fucket rankings. That's what this show kind of is. Right. D.K., do you think that we owe people the fiduciary duty to rank the players we hate? Or are we being cowards? Probably a little bit of both, if we're being honest. We're not being cowards because they're on our rankings. They're just lower than we probably would let than like many other places would have them. But we'll say, if we really want to just lean into it,

we should just take these guys off.

Just how, like, it'd be hilarious to just like completely leave teams off. Someone's like, why isn't Deonté Johnson your ranking? It's like, you guys are morons. You forgot him and we're like, we didn't forget him. No, I just did we? I don't care for Job. That's basically just what this is over and over.

So we're going to get to that in a moment,

but in an absolute perfect bit of news for the players we hate but have to rank, there's now a quarterback that you guys hate that is going to have to play. So this is from Adam Schaeffer. Recording this Tuesday, August 13, so maybe there's more information that's come out since then. Vikings rookie first run pick. J.J. McCarthy is expected to, did he write B undergo knee surgery?

It appears so.

Yeah, be undergo.

All right.
