This is an I-Heart podcast.

Today it's a fantasy live edition of the fantasy football podcast. I'm Patrick Claibon. I'll be

joined by Marcus Grant and Adam Rick coming up today. We've got some debate about the future of Cowboys receiver George Pickens with C.D. Lamb back in our lineups. Plus, Adam has a special edition of Chill, br, with a look at some young stars that will bounce back from a bad week seven and an elite wideout you can try to trade for here on the fantasy football podcast. Hey, everybody. Welcome to NFL Fantasy. I have Patrick Claibon here kicking off week eight with Adam Rink and Marcus Grant after a great doubleheader where we got some late football, right? I love the late football. You know what I don't love? What's that? Is everybody on the East Coast belly aching about it? You know what? We get all these international games that start 6.30 in the morning. Do we complain about it? No. We just get up and watch football. So, and I don't mean to call anybody out, but let's just say that somebody whose name rhymes with J.J. Watt was complaining about his eyelids getting to, then go to bed, JJ, it's fine. The rest of us want to stay up and enjoy some football. I mean, you could just, you know, get a subscription to say NFL Plus, and then you can watch the condensed games after the fact. It takes you 45 minutes. You get everything you need to know. It's that simple. Yeah, you also get access to live, and primetime games and you can get NFL network. Michelle's like us, keep the NFL in reach out to NFL Plus. Let's discuss those Monday night football games that we saw last night. Jamir Gibbs got another career highlight against the bucks, right? You know what? Patrick, I don't want to do this and I don't want to invoke names of Legends Pass, but when I think, when I see

Jemir Gibbs, I don't want to do this and I don't want to invoke names of Legends

Pass, but when I think, when I see Jemir Gibbs, I think of a guy who played for Detroit,

who wore the number 20. Oh. Yes, I'm talking about Billy Sims. He reminds, no, also,

I don't want to get crazy. I can't go barely yet. No, we're working our way up this list.

Jamir Gibbs is fantastic. Close to 40 fantasy points in this one, nearly unstoppable. Immediately when this game started, the guy

already had like a hundred fantasy points. It felt like with that huge run and is seemingly one of

the most unstoppable players in the league. When you think about it too, whenever we're matching up guys against Klee, like, oh, you can't start this guy, nobody has done well against Kliber, except for Jemir Gibbs. And Jemir Gibbs continues to do it week in a week out to the point of next year. And I know we're getting ahead of ourselves. But for a lot of us who have injury-plagged rosters, already penciling him in is 1.01.

You know, if we're going to complain about start times of things, how about those of us on the

West Coast who still have obligations with family and work before you can get down and watch the

game? Because I got home, and I'm on Ross St. Proud had already scored a touchdown.

That's how quickly it happened in that ballgame. I had another fantastic night, though, did he? Six catches, 86 yards, and the touchdown on 10 targets. He's had four games this year with 20 or more fantasy points. He leads the league in receiving touchdowns on pace for 17, if you believe in those sorts of things. Five games this year with 100 receiving yards and or a touchdown. He's been fantastic. And everybody was sort of waffling, oh, do I take him late first round? Yes. Yes, you should have taken him late first round this year. You should take him probably even higher in the first round next year because he just is that dude. Yeah, a great performance by the Lions on a night where we thought they might actually be the

less injured team, but as the game went on, it was a lot for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This coming

from head coach Todd Bowles in the post game, Mike Evans is expected to miss most of the remainder

of the 2025 season with a broken clavicle also suffered a concussion last night. And they will be without expecting

to not have Bucky Irving in week eight with a foot and shoulder injury as well as Chris Godwin,

not expected to play against the Saints with that fibula injury. Oh yeah. And Baker Mayfield was

seen limping after the game. That's a lot going on in Tampa Bay, right? Yeah, it's a really tough go for Tampa

Bay this week because, you know, coming into this contest, Baker Mayfield was considered one of

the MVP candidates of the year, but just couldn't get things going, finding, not being
