What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Radcliffe and it is Monday, September 22nd and we, of course, are going to recap everything we saw over the weekend here on Sunday, week three fantasy football.

Before I get into that, though, I do have to, you know, just say something briefly here. You may have seen on Saturday or Sunday, the news circulating that the fantasy community lost one of our valued members in Mike Tagliere. Of course, you probably know him from over at fantasy pros Mike passed away over the weekend due to COVID and I have to say this is heartbreaking news, devastating for the family. I'm sure just

39 years old and a person who I knew quite well, you know, he was one of the many who worked over at PFF when I was there. I, in fact, hired him for basically his first paying job in the industry and I remember how excited he was. A lot of people wanted to do this job and I will tell you that once they start doing it and I've seen a lot of people come into the industry and then, you know, fall by the wayside, they realize that it's not an easy job.

It sounds glamorous. It's not glamorous. It's like literally me in a room by myself all the time and that's the same for any of us. And Mike had that enthusiasm that I'd seen many times before, but very few people actually continue to have that enthusiasm after five or six years of doing the job and he did. He loved this job. He loved this industry. He loved you, even if you didn't even know who he was. He loved all the people who play fantasy football.

And he was just a genuinely good person that is not common. You know, people say these sorts of things. It's 100% true about Mike.

And he's going to be missed. He made the fantasy industry a better place.

So I'm going to miss my friend and the industry is certainly going to miss him as well.

And of course, positive vibes, thoughts, prayers to his family, his wife, his wife and I had a fun night, along with Mike, that was in Dallas at a FS TA event, which is basically our, our industry conferences.

And they're about as fun as they sound, but we had a fun night out. We went to a maps game and somehow his wife and I, his wife, tabby and I started talking about GMOs. Yeah.

That's how much of a nerd I am. And we were having a conversation for a while. And it was like, it was a spirited conversation because she's that type of person.

And I had only just met her and I only really tags it only really come aboard just recently. And I remember, like, sort of at one point, he, I guess he had said something to her. And then she, I think she said it to me like that he, he was like nervous that

it was like going to screw up his chances with, with like, PFF, which of course it didn't. In fact, it endeared me to both of them more.

But I'll never forget that and never forget his impact on the industry.

So I wanted to at least take a couple of minutes to share that with you. He was such an important person in our industry for all the positivity that he brought. And if you have the means, there is a go on me, he's a young son.

Obviously, Tabby, his daughter as well to have a standing stuff. So if you have the means, you know, and you could help him out. That'd be awesome.

Of course, I know he wouldn't want me to blabber on and on and on. He would want me to talk about football. So we do have to get into that. So we will.

And I'm going to start with the first game on the list here.

From this weekend and that of course being Washington and Buffalo.

And hey, Josh Allen is back. All is right with the world for Josh Allen. Big, big, big time game here.

But you may be a little bit concerned if you have Stefan Diggs. I'm actually not. He had 10 targets in this game. I know a lot of people are going to look at a manual Sanders, but only six for a manual Sanders.

And area wise, Stefan Diggs is the number three receiver in the NFL. So that's great opportunities there. Eventually, that's going to convert over.

So it's a good by low on him. Zach Moss 44 snaps. Kevin Singletary 34. So I think we're kind of back to where we were last year. And Moss, yet again, was the better fantasy play.
