| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about the biggest questions for week eight next on fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:11.6 | Welcome to FFT in five. I'm Chris Towers here with Heath Cummings. I don't know why I was struggling to get your name out, but Heath Cummings, we've already done one podcast today. |
| 0:21.6 | Maybe I'm just, maybe I've just had enough of you, Heath. No, obviously. |
| 0:25.4 | You're not the only one. Never that. I just got a little confused, but we are here to talk |
| 0:31.0 | about the biggest questions heading into week eight for my week eight rankings. I went to Twitter |
| 0:35.9 | and got some of the biggest questions from our audience, some great stuff there. |
| 0:39.7 | And I think the biggest question for the quarterback position, there's a lot of them. |
| 0:43.1 | You know, can we trust Joe Burrow after he struggled again in week seven or week six before the buy? |
| 0:48.6 | But I'm going to focus on the Titans quarterbacks because in those two QB leagues and even in one QB leagues if you're |
| 0:55.6 | desperate, Malik Willis has some appeal. He should be a good scrambler, a good runner, and I'm |
| 1:01.9 | hoping he took a step forward as a passer after beating Will Levis out for the backup job, |
| 1:07.0 | but now we're hearing that they might use both quarterbacks this week if Ryan Tanne |
| 1:11.8 | Hills out. Can you trust any of them and what are your expectations there? I'm trying to |
| 1:16.0 | decide if I would rather start Malik Willis in a two-quarterback league or Joe Burrow in a one |
| 1:20.4 | quarterback league. The answer is I don't want to start either of them in either of those things. |
| 1:25.2 | But no, I have no confidence. Like, it might even be a hot |
| 1:29.1 | hand approach. It might be that Malik Willis plays the first drive and Will Levis plays the second |
| 1:32.6 | and whoever does better gets the third. If you told me that Malik Willis was playing the entire |
| 1:39.3 | game, then he might come close to sneaking into my top 24, but probably not. |
| 1:44.7 | There's just not anybody on a buy. |
| 1:46.6 | Now, that's not to say that you shouldn't pick him up. |
| 1:48.5 | If you don't have a starting quarterback, he might be better. |
