What's good friends?

Welcome on into Fantasy Focus football presented by Little Caesars alongside Field Jates and

Stefania Bell.

My name is Daniel Dopp.

I promise I'll try to keep my analysis slow so that you can catch it.

Because if I do it too fast, like my buddy Jemir Gibbs out here, I'm afraid you guys won't be able to catch it. I see what you did right there. I wore my Jemir Gibbs jersey for a second day in a row. You know why? Because he's awesome. Because he's really good at football. He's amazing. He definitely moves. I feel like I'm watching, I'm listening to a podcast at 1.5 speed when I watch Jemar Gibbs on the TV.

That 78-yard run especially. He definitely moves. I feel like I'm watching, I'm listening to a podcast at 1.5 speed when I

watched Jemir Gibbs on the TV. That 78 yard run especially was just out of control.

The defense, I think, also thinks they're watching someone run at 1.25 speed. He's so fast. I love

watching the game live when you're watching like the clock, the little speedometer.

Oh yeah. It's going up and up and up because he's just accelerating all the way through. Tell me how happy you are as a Lions fan to see what you saw last night. Unbelievably happy. This part is not a fantasy football side, but our secondary was so banged up. Yeah. I know, I promise you guys. People had to like look like they were combing through, you know, files to be like, okay, who is this guy? I know this Lions roster as well as anybody else. And there were four guys that played in the secondary that I was like, I maybe know one of them from the practice. Whitehead? Correct. Yeah. And the other three guys, I was like, I don't know who you are. And they played unbelievably good football.

It was inspired football. It was so cool. Not a fantasy thing, but like as a Lions fan, it was super great to be able to see. But it was in the fact that it limited Tampa Bay's often to production. Let's dive into this. We got a bunch on the show today. Obviously, Monday night football recaps. We got the week eight waiver wire. We're going to dive into some injuries.

We're also going to look at the halfway point.

Maybe give out some MVP's, breakouts, and busts. So let's dive into Monday night football. First game with the Buccaneers and the Detroit Lions. As we get into this, I want to tell you guys something that I do. Every Tuesday and Friday, we have an island game, right? We have Monday night football, then we have to recap and then Thursday night football. So I'll connect with our producer Tyler. And I always go into

the doc that we have, our note. And I'll write down a headline from the future. Like, for example,

for the Seahawks and the Texans, I wrote, JSN and Nico Collins combined for 375 receiving yards.

I write something astronomical just because I think it would be fun.

And if it happens, great.
