| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 947 of the official Establishtherrun.com podcast. |
| 0:24.2 | My name is Adam Levittan. |
| 0:25.6 | I am one of the co-founders here at ETR, and we are coming off of a Kyle Pitts kicked me directly in the penis kind of week. |
| 0:36.0 | Yes, that's right. |
| 0:37.0 | Kyle Pitts went for 48.6 draft Kings points on Thursday night of week 15, |
| 0:43.4 | the first week of the best ball playoffs. |
| 0:46.8 | 11 catches, 166 yards, three touchdowns, |
| 0:51.5 | one of the greatest tight end games in the history of football. |
| 0:58.0 | As I was watching this on Thursday night, I legit felt paralyzed. |

| 1:41.7 | score for Kyle Pitts, even on draftings. His high score on the |
| 1:45.6 | season previously on DK was 18 points. And so I would have been tilted by 20 or 25 from Pitts, |
| 1:53.2 | but whatever, you know, that's all in the game. It is what it is. But 48, 48, just unfathomable and really, really hard, not impossible, but really hard to overcome. |
| 2:07.2 | And so this is the value over replacement stuff that the elite tight end people love to talk about. |
| 2:14.3 | And I feel like people are going to say, see, I told you, you needed a lead tight end |
| 2:18.9 | score to win in the best ball playoffs, idiot. And there's definitely something to that. I drafted plenty |
