Hey everyone, welcome to a good football show. I am Matt Straup and this is part two of your week eight fantasy preview show on part one of this preview our crew

covers the Thursday night game plus bucks Saints Titans Colts Niners Bears Jags Seahawks and Washington Denver today we're covering the remaining nine games and I'm joined by John Deggle

Pact already in Denny Carter guys I learned listening to part one of the preview that we are officially an energy conservation mode. So

pre-show banter is officially canceled just why you know that I am on board with this. I will say nothing here. You guys say nothing. I'm thinking maybe five seconds of silence.

It was a it's always a good idea to start the show saying I'm tired, but nonetheless here we are always as much energy for every single show. We're just at the point, especially during the fall, like we're slowly getting the winner as well and golf seasons getting taking away from me.

I'm just going to get more and more depressed. We go a lot but nonetheless here and very happy to be I mean my favorite part of the show is the is the banter is devastating.

I'm just daydreaming about what I'm going to put in my metaverse. Maybe it's maybe a stuffed bear. You know, the possibilities are endless they are and it's the best way to connect with it is from what I've heard connect with people

through a fake universe. This is this is quite a galaxy brain situation. There's one thing I've learned since the dawn of the pandemic is that I don't desperately yearn for human connection at all.

Yeah, seeing you guys at the fantasy football expo is definitely not the highlight of my year. I don't know what you've heard, but that's not true.

Backtracking to Wednesday, I will say I greatly enjoyed the image of Dagle. I think Pat, you said, Dagle is just not moving. I thought he was frozen.

I really did. I think he was frozen. Then I saw him blank. And I'm like, oh, no, it's, I don't know. It's fine.

Just we sit still until we're required to talk. And then we burst with energy. And then we go right back to being a hermit. That's that's the type of season we're having right now.

All right, I'll keep that in mind as well. And I think there's no real obvious place to start for me as far as the early games are concerned on this 1 p.m.

Slates. So I think we start with America's team, the Falcons hosting the Carolina Panthers. It's a land of favor by three and over under 46.

We saw Kyle pits with his second straight explosive performance last week, seven catches 163 yards. Falcons offense.

Dare I say is almost starting to border on the verge of being intriguing. Pat, where do you have pits ranked this week?

A week with no Darren Waller, no Mark Andrews, and which tight end or tight ends would you rather have moving forward?

I mean, I haven't ranked as the tight end to which I don't know if that's point chasey, but as you said, he book ended the Falcons is week six by the pair of

100 yard games. The stat that I just can't get over from week seven is that five of his seven receptions were for 20 plus yards.

The shortest reception was 11 yards. And you barely get that kind of downfield production from receivers. You never get it from tight ends.

It was against too bad defenses to like spiraling defenses, but it's kind of what he has again for week eight in the panthers.

The panthers are getting some defensive reinforcements team.
