Hey, we've got some game time tips to share. When you're hosting during football season, you've got to be ready for every kind of craving. Somebody wants fresh pizza, somebody wants crispy wings, somebody's asking if there's sliders. That's why you need more than one call in the playbook. Frigidaire offers a range with over 15 cooking modes so you can tackle hosting with confidence. There's stone-baked pizza for restaurant-quality pizza in as little as two minutes, air-fried mode for crispy favorites, and air-sous-vide for juicy, tender sliders. Plus, they're slow-cook, no preheat, and more.

That's the Game Time MVP Combo. Stone-baked pizza and air-fry, both built right into your oven. So whether you're getting ready for kickoff or feeding a full house, Frigidaire has every craving covered. Available at the Home Depot. How doers get more done. Only when using stone-baked pizza mode, cook time requires preheat and reheat and may vary based on ingredients.

Well, good friends. Welcome to Fantasy Focus Football alongside Field Yates and Mike Clay. Sorry about that, Michael. I yelled really loud in your ear.

Mike Clay (1:16)

Every time. My name is Daniel Dopp. I'll never learn. I'll never learn. I always turn it up. So it's so quiet before the show and I have to turn the volume up. And then the show starts and you start screaming in my ear.

Daniel Dopp (1:25)

I'm sorry.

Mike Clay (1:25)

Every time.

Daniel Dopp (1:26)

Well, because I talk to you in a normal voice, but then we do the open of the show. I'm excited.

Mike Clay (1:30)

I know.

Daniel Dopp (1:31)

I apologize.

Field Yates (1:31)

In a good mood this morning.

Daniel Dopp (1:33)

Yes, surprisingly in a good mood on a Thursday. How are you guys doing today?

Field Yates (1:36)

We're great. It's Friday. It's we were just looking at the weather. It is beautiful here in Connecticut.

Daniel Dopp (1:41)

Yes.

Field Yates (1:42)

We're about to have like eight straight days of rain. So shout out Mother Nature for absolutely nothing. And we got a fantasy bonanza last night.

Daniel Dopp (1:49)

Yes, we did. No, it was a tough one. Unfortunately, we're going to dive into our week two storylines, part two, and a quick shout out to our friends over at Trophy Smack. Go to trophysmack.com, use the promo code TROPHEWEEK2 for 10% off over there.

Field Yates (2:01)

Pretty much everybody that has Josh Allen should just start buying the belt.

Daniel Dopp (2:05)

If you have Josh Allen, it feels like you were set up. He has the Detroit Lions number over 40 fantasy points in back to back games against this squad.

Honestly, everything that you basically asked for, with the exception of, and I want to say this, DJ Moore doesn't count because he got hurt. So he doesn't count as a disappointment. Jamison Williams was the only disappointment. Everyone else that you asked for fantasy points from field, it all came true.

Field Yates (2:27)

It was amazing. So we can just do the very quick stuff that was obvious and great. Josh Allen, you're ridiculous. Even when we told you, we're very comfortable with the value of quarterback later in drafts. If you took, we kept saying, if you take Josh Allen in the second round, I'm not going to be mad at you, right? Because he's going to finish his quarterback one after two weeks. That seems like it is borderline a guarantee.

We've got an incorrect box mark there if you're watching on TV right now. But Josh Allen over 40 fantasy points. James Koch handles 100% of the Bills carries. He finds the end zone over 100 yards. Dalton Kincaid, I want to get back to him a moment, because to me, he's the story.

Mike Clay (3:03)

That's the big story here.

Field Yates (3:04)

Amon Raugh St. Brown has two catches in the first half. He finishes with 36 fantasy points because he had two catches for touchdowns in the second half. He was ridiculous.

Daniel Dopp (3:13)

Lions garbage time all the way until the end for Amon Raugh.

Field Yates (3:17)

Jared Goff goes for 325 plus and four touchdowns. We mentioned him as a streaming start this week. Everybody but JMo was good. Let's talk about JMo and Dalton Kincaid. Let's get the fun part out of the way. Because I said this to you guys in text last night.

I'm not certain that Dalton Kincaid isn't just the best early season storyline, but maybe the breakout player of fantasy football for this year.

That sounds ridiculous to say after 17 total games in just two weeks for the Buffalo Bills of the season. But unlike wide receiver, maybe even quarterback to a degree, running back in tight end, we don't have enough good players that when somebody seems to emerge as a guy that you can start as not just like a weekly starter, but a weekly difference maker is incredibly valuable. It was never a talent question with Dalton Kincaid. He went the first round. The guy was a big investment by the Bills. They've told us year after year after year, he's primed for a big role. It's been about health and perhaps utilization in prior years, ironically with the same play card that he has now in Joe Brady. But through two weeks, he looks clearly like the Bills' best pass catcher. And if Josh Allen is going to go full nuclear like he did for the second straight week last night, could Dalton Kincaid quickly creep up into the tier that we were talking about, Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren occupying going into this?
