Mike Clay (0:37)
You offered me, Bryce Young and Makai Lemon for Jamar Chase, with a note that says, this helps you more than it helps me. Trying to deceive me?
Daniel Dopp (0:51)
No, I'm not trying to deceive you. Why would I try and deceive you? I'm engaging with you as a human being. Why would I deceive you? There's no...
There's no reason for that.
Mike Clay (1:09)
Okay. All right. All right, good chat.
You're being real right now?
Daniel Dopp (1:26)
I'm always being real, Michael. David Field Yates and Mike Clay.
Mike Clay (1:59)
I watched that movie.
Daniel Dopp (2:00)
That sounds like, you know what, if you just watch our cold open, Mike and I had so much fun doing that. I want to give Mike so many props. He wrote that entire thing. Obviously, it's a big-
SPEAKER_4 (2:08)
Parody. Yes.
Daniel Dopp (2:09)
But he wrote the entire thing, was like, Daniel, I got a great idea. Let's do this. It came out fantastic, man. Bravo to you.
Mike Clay (2:14)
Like, you crushed it.
Shout out to me, Presley. You're acting, you're gonna win the Emmy.
SPEAKER_4 (2:18)
We know that. Dave shot it and was awesome.
Mike Clay (2:20)
Dave crushed it, edited it. Yeah, awesome. So, I'm just the idea, man, but well done.
SPEAKER_4 (2:23)
That was a ton of fun. That was fun.
Mike Clay (2:25)
We're gonna try and do more of those.
Field Yates (2:27)
Do you guys remember when Peyton Manning hosted SNL for the first time? And people were like, did this guy really need to waste 18 years of his life playing football when he could have been acting the entire time?
Mike Clay (2:36)
I feel like commercials too. Sometimes you do subtle things. I'm like, he's so good at that.
Field Yates (2:39)
I say that because I'm wondering whether you guys maybe are wasting your time doing fantasy football.
SPEAKER_4 (2:43)
No, I'll write the sketch.
Field Yates (2:45)
That was your role right there.
Daniel Dopp (2:46)
No, you were-
SPEAKER_4 (2:47)
Deadpan right there. Yes, yes. If I have to do anything, I would do that.
Field Yates (2:51)
If tomorrow this becomes the Field Yates Fantasy Focus Variety Hour because you guys are recruited by some gigantic film director, I'd be surprised.
Mike Clay (3:00)
The theme there was a trade, obviously, and there's a little Easter egg in there. I don't know how many people caught this, but it says the movie releases 12-2. That's your trade deadline in ESPN Fantasy League.
SPEAKER_5 (3:10)
Nice, well done.
Field Yates (3:11)
That's going to be the most watched movie slash documentary.
Daniel Dopp (3:14)
The first of many Only Dance productions. I'm sure we're going to have even some more coming up, guys.
Mike Clay (3:19)
We have more, but let's dive into it. We have 57 minutes left and we're just going to talk ball now.
SPEAKER_4 (3:25)
We are to get to today.
Daniel Dopp (3:27)
A lot of football here in Week 3 We're going to do the Monday Night Football Preview, dive into our Week 3 recap. Field, we're going to start with you, Chargers and Bills.
Field Yates (3:33)
Yeah, for the first time all season, Josh Allen wasn't the best player on your fantasy roster. 17.46 fantasy points. Not the most interesting thing for the Bills for me. There were two things. First of all, Dalton Kincaid finally comes back down to earth. He played 54% of the snaps, he had played 72% in the first two weeks. Now, he got banged up at one point. Did Dalton Kincaid? I don't think it's anything serious or of note, but he saw just three targets. So all the optimism we saw in the first two weeks kind of came back down to earth for Kincaid. This just in, he plays tight end. There aren't a bunch of options. My confidence definitely reduced a little bit compared to the first two weeks, but not enough that I don't think that Dalton Kincaid is a viable starter going forward.
Mike Clay (4:12)
Yeah, just keep in mind, DJ Moore led the team with 22 routes, ran Kincaid at 20, got a 26 pass at him, so still very involved when they're throwing the ball. That's huge.
