| 0:00.0 | What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackleton., and it is Wednesday, October 6th. It is Rankings Day. |
| 0:23.9 | As you can probably see from the title of this podcast, we dive into the rankings here like we do every Wednesday. |
| 0:30.4 | A little bit of movement this week. Certainly some question marks, and I'll talk about one when we get to running back. But let's dive into |
| 0:39.3 | quarterbacks to start off the show today and you know how I like to do it. I keep it fairly |
| 0:44.7 | straightforward. Generally speaking, if you do have one of the top 11 quarterbacks, you're going |
| 0:52.7 | to start that quarterback essentially every single week. I don't |
| 0:56.1 | want to even roster another quarterback because I don't want to put myself in a predicament. |
| 1:01.3 | I don't want to be in a situation where I have to make a decision. And that includes |
| 1:05.5 | Justin Herbert this week, who you're going to look at my rankings, you're going to see Kirk Cousins ahead of them, |
| 1:12.3 | and you're going to say, should I make a move? No, just start Justin Herbert. It's not like I |
| 1:18.2 | have them ranked at 30. I have them at 14. I'm getting a little ahead of myself. But if you have one |

| 1:28.0 | guarantee you that more often than not, you're going to make the wrong decision. |
| 1:32.8 | In fantasy football, if we can keep things as simple as possible, we can eliminate a lot of those |
| 1:38.5 | dilemmas, we're going to be in a better spot. I used to be like that, man. I used to have all |
| 1:43.2 | those dilemmas, and I'd |
| 1:44.2 | overthink it, and I'd make the wrong darn decision every single week. Well, not every week, |
| 1:48.8 | but most weeks. So don't do that to yourself. You have one of those top 11. You do not need a second |
| 1:54.5 | quarterback except for the buy week, and last I checked, nobody's on by this week. Also, |
| 1:59.8 | friendly reminder, before I get into the quarterback |
| 2:02.6 | rankings, there is a London game this week. That game is at 9.30 a.m. Eastern, which of course is |
| 2:09.7 | is 6.30 a.m. out there on the West Coast. It's the Jets and the Falcons. So there are some fantasy |
