Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@CDCarter13) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down the entire Week 8 slate, beginning with Rams/Cowboys. Is there any fantasy hope for the Cowboys’ passing attack? Is Darrell Henderson a top-30 option? They also go long on Patriots/Dolphins, Jets/Giants, Chiefs/Bengals and Bengals/49ers, hitting on every key player in the process. That includes Jordan Addison, Bijan Robinson, Tank Dell and much, much more. Last but not least, they get into an unnecessarily heated discussion about Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s usage in DK Metcalf’s absence.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Roto-Roll football show. I am Patrick Darty, joined my
0:19.8	Danny Carter in Calvinmore Chick, where we will break down the entire week eight slate.
0:23.9	That includes the grams at the Cowboys, the Patriots at the Dolphins, who may or may not
0:28.7	have tiring kills, looking like they will have tiring kills. The Jets quote at the Giants,
0:33.0	even though it's at their own stadium, and so much more. 32 teams this week, no buys,
0:39.4	the computer apparently couldn't figure out how to get any buys in week eight. I've noticed
0:43.4	in football and baseball, by the way, the schedules have gotten demonstrably worse,
0:48.4	as they took it away from humans. Like baseball now, the baseball computer can't schedule all
0:53.5	30 teams on federal holidays anymore. It used to be a baseball rule that every team would play
0:58.2	Memorial Day, Labor Day, and the Fourth of July. The computer's like, can't be done.
1:02.0	I know. We get commercials that say, like, the NFL schedule powered by Amazon's AI. I'm like,
1:07.6	we'll tell it to do better. This sucks. Yeah, maybe improve a little bit. They say,
1:14.1	oh, they used to take eight months to do the NFL schedule. Now it takes eight milliseconds.
1:18.0	Well, they only trained it. They only trained it on Thursday night football. Like, how can we make
1:22.8	every Sunday feel like a Thursday night? You can find a middle ground between eight milliseconds
1:29.6	and eight months. I think that that would be the key there. Yeah, so whatever, no buys in a week eight.
1:36.0	So I think I'm just better that we're sort of treated to, like, when the buy weeks start coming,
1:40.0	it is like a little bit of a reprieve for us. It's just less work in general, just less injury
1:43.9	reports to sift through. So you get what, two, three weeks, I think, a buys, and then the NFL
1:48.7	just springs 16 games on me. Like, the Wednesday injury report is brutal. So I think I'm a little
1:54.4	better about that. Well, it's the classic we care, because we are part of the point, oh, oh,
1:59.4	one percent of the American population that earn our living, writing about professional football,
