Hello and welcome to PFF Fancy Football Podcast. We've made it in season. Great day to be great. I'm pump people. If you were not here last year, basically during the in season, we have a set schedule.

0:20.0

We're going to be able to fully to get you as updated as smart as ready to win fancy betting, whatever the hell your vices. We want you to win all those things by time Sunday comes around. So we're going to break down everything during the week.

0:34.0

We're going to be able to do a different week than normal because we didn't have the Sunday games, but normally people by Monday morning, you have a game by game breakdown of what happened Tuesday. We're going to go through way for wire stuff Wednesday, AKA right now, we're previewing the upcoming weeks action Thursday.

0:48.0

We'll be looking at more of a, you know, interview style with a guest Friday will be a DFS center show Saturday injury stuff and Sunday. We will have a start set hour in the morning. So again, today's business will be a game by game breakdown of all the week one action.

1:01.0

We're joined by the one, the only, the great Dwayne, the rock, McFarland, Dwayne, how's it going?

1:07.0

Dude, is that I mean rhetorical question?

1:12.0

We're not getting a football man. We're excited. I'm just happy to be part of this team getting to do the regular season stuff. So yeah, man.

1:21.0

It's Christmas was getting it was like seeing all the presents on the tree, getting to open them like this week, you get to actually play with all the toys again, get to play with them.

1:30.0

Off season grinds great, but off season grind is over week once here. Let's go everybody. First match up Thursday night football.

1:37.0

We got the Dallas Cowboys up Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa is sitting as a seven and a half point favorite. They open at six and a half over under at 52.

1:44.0

So just real quick, Dwayne and I are basically going to go team by team each bringing up a main point. We are not trying to come down and break every single thing through with every single match up.

1:53.0

That would take about six hours. Hey, they might work out for some people, but believe me, we're going to be rushing to try to get this into about 90 minutes as it is.

2:01.0

So with that said, if we don't mention somebody, you know, we're not just forgetting about them. We're just trying to focus on the most important stuff.

2:07.0

And I'm going to start off here with the Cowboys and I would just say people let's not put too much stock into losing one great offensive lineman in Zach Martin.

2:16.0

Now, apparently it's a tough situation to figure out because he was vaccinated and he got COVID. So I think there might still be a chance he could return by Thursday.

2:25.0

If he can get the back to back negative tests, not sure assuming Martin is out right now, though. Yeah, it's not ideal people. But let's not pretend like that Zeke just can't produce without a great guard like Zach Martin.

2:37.0

Last year week one Los Angeles Rams similar very tough match up low Collins, not quite on Zach Martin's level, but still a very good offensive tackle in his own right.

2:47.0

He was out of the game. What did Zeke do scored two touchdowns overall RB three performance. I get bumping Zeke out of your top five running backs.

2:55.0

It's a very tough match up the book and years are about stout as they come in the front seven. We got to start your studs people. So hey, if you're in six man league and you happen to have, you know, five top 10 running backs.

3:05.0

Maybe by some grace of God, Zika Elliott is on your bench, but other than the exceptions to that rule, Zika someone that, you know, worst case you're moving from the RB one spot to the RB two to try to light a fire under his ass. Otherwise, you are not messing with him.

3:19.0

Even if there is a tough match up like this and honestly, Joanne.

3:23.0

It's the same thing with the wide receiver for me. I get it as a tiebreaker, a Mario Cooper CD lamb Zika Elliott, you draft these guys to start them. Please for the love of God do not be including these guys and start to sit questions this week.
