| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the PFF fanci football podcast. I'm your host Ian Hartitz coming to you not live, but recording on this lovely |
| 0:16.3 | Monday and people, you know, I just hope you're ready for an hour of Josh Gordon to the Chief's goodness. Maybe not quite that long, but I am happy that my guy has got |
| 0:25.8 | another chance. We got Dwayne McFarlane as always sitting by. He is not sharing my flash optimism, but you know what? That's okay, Dwayne. I still like you as both a person and a colleague. What's going on, man? Man, hey, I think it's worth it. I think it's worth the |
| 0:41.2 | Chief's taking a look at because we I think it's pretty apparent at this point that Mikkel Hartmins just not the answer, you know, and when I'm watching that team, I'm constantly thinking, man, they need a third |
| 0:52.2 | weapon like they just need a third weapon because they they're trying to do it by letting you know, a home scramble. They tried to get, you know, even Edwards |
| 1:00.8 | a layer a little more involved, but they just need another downfield weapon. And so I see no reasons to not just try to kick the tires on Josh Gordon. Do I think it's |
| 1:08.7 | going to be a huge boon for fantasy leagues? Probably not, but you know, if you're playing on the Chief's with Patrick Holmes, if you're in a super deep league, I mean, I've kicked the tire on |
| 1:19.8 | worse things, you know, as a fantasy manager in the past. So yeah, what will happen? I know I know we'll spend some time on Josh Gordon because this is Ian's podcast. |
| 1:28.6 | I want that. I want that PFF social graphic with Gordon in a chief uniform and just says I've kicked tires on worse players, Dwayne McFarland. That's exactly what I want out of you, Dwayne. Great stuff, as always, people on the our wave of wire edition of this podcast, we're going to go through |
| 1:44.5 | quarterback running back, wide receiver tight end, talk about more people than just Josh Gordon, believe it or not, and we will kick things off with the QB position. Now Dwayne, I went through guys and again, everyone I mentioned here on today's podcast is going to be rostered around 50% of Yahoo and or fan tracks. |
| 2:02.3 | So that's kind of the disclaimer I'm going for if you hear me, you know, mentioning someone is a good chance they are higher than that 50% threshold. So with that in mind, Dwayne, five quarterbacks really sticking out this week to me and streamer land Sam |
| 2:15.2 | Arnold is facing the Cowboys Derek cars got the chargers Justin Fields has the lions Daniel Jones has the Saints and Teddy Bridgewater has the Ravens. I'll quickly run through my kind of general thoughts here. I think the order of these guys should be first up, Derek car. |
| 2:30.0 | This main has thrown for 300 plus yards and seven straight games at this point. As you said last week, Dwayne, and you know, we just kind of came to the agreement. He has earned inclusion as a borderline QB1 at worst here, moving forward. The matchups haven't been great. |
| 2:43.3 | There's still not great. The chargers with Durham and Joey Bosa are very good defense, but people he he's throwing the hell out of the ball and he's doing a great job with it. |
| 2:51.7 | Weapons all over the place keep trusting Derek car, even in a less than ideal matchup and I am going car over Sam Arnold one of these few quarterbacks that when you lose their running back, it might actually be a bit of a net negative. |
| 3:04.7 | I think for the passing game. |
| 3:06.7 | Donald should be okay, but he's also not going to run for two touchdowns every single week, like you did last week. So just realize people as great as much better as Donald has been. I had to catch myself there compared to past years, QB 16, QB 14 and QB 7 starts the season. |
| 3:22.7 | He is fine as an upside QB 2. Like I'm not saying he's going to be ranked that much further below. Derek car. I would just take car ahead of Donald because I think it's more sustainable over the years, but over the upcoming weeks. |
| 3:34.7 | I just say, but hey, Donald next up five opponents, Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings, Giants, Falcons. It's going to be like week 12 on here, Dwayne. I'm going to be going, I told you, Donald just had a mediocre game. |
| 3:45.7 | I'm waiting for this all season long after that. I have field, Daniel Jones and Teddy bridgewater. Honestly, I might even be overthinking it in terms of Jones versus fields, but Teddy, I just think it's not enough of the past happy offense despite him having the higher average target death. |
| 4:01.7 | This year to really feel good about a matchup against the Ravens where I think the blitz happy nature of that defense could cause some problems for Teddy. He does hold the ball a lot. |
| 4:10.7 | So I'm just not loving this spot for him, but the Jones versus fields thing. I'm not trying to take anything away from Daniel Jones. Only Lamar Jackson has more Russian yards than him this year. |
