It is live at noon on YouTube, but it's 5 o'clock somewhere. You guys know that, brothers and sisters, friends of the revolution, welcome to Love Hate Day 2 Fantasy Football Happy Hour. And it's me, your buddy, your pal, your amigo, Matthew Berry, your friendly neighborhood bartender here as well as the Happy Hour Bar is open for Love Hate Day 2 And I got sour news for you, Jack. It's just me. It's just me, your pal, Matty, me and you, me and the regulars. There you go.

We wanted to try this. So we'll see how it goes. So I hope you guys, lots of comments in the YouTube chat. We're going to get to all the pass catchers, of course, the entire Love Hate list up for free at fantasylife.com as are all my rankings. And before we get to the Love Hate pass catchers, I just want to talk about this for one second. And that is guillotineleagues.com. If you've never played it, you have to try it. I'm begging you to try it.

Join a public league there for free. There's a bunch of states where you can play for money. If you think you're smarter than anyone else, and I know if you're listening to the show, I know you are.

And if you play for money, we, meaning guillotineleagues.com, we don't take a fee.

All the entry fees go into the prize pool, and that is not the case with, I think, literally any other platform that offers paid contests. But look, it's very simple. If you've never played a guillotine league, just very quickly, I want to talk about it. You draft a team like normal. You have a league like normal. You start a lineup like normal. You know, quarterback, couple running back, a couple wide receivers, tight end, some flexes.

At the end of the week, the team that has the lowest score gets cut. Their season's over. They're done. They're done. As Damian Vigone says, twist my ankle, I'll join. I like the ankle talk, Damian. Nice job. Well done. Way to slip that in there.

Yeah, look, and by the way, that's going to be our listener league. We're going to give details about that on Monday, but that will be our listener league. It will be the Fantasy Football Happy Hour listener league. It will be an 18 team guillotine league. That's the other piece about guillotine is you can play, you can play with, if you only have 13, if you have nine, whatever number you have, you don't have to have an even number because it's just about how many weeks are left in the season. So you want to do a nine person league, it'll end in week 10 Or it could end in week 17 because we have an option on guillotineleagues.com called slow chop where one person gets cut every other week.

You could also do a 36 person league because we have double chop.

Two teams get chopped every week. So anyway, lots of options at guillotineleagues.com. Please check it out. It's really fun. Oh, here's the other twist. The team that gets cut, all the players on that team go back to the free agent pool. So every single week you're bidding on somebody's first round pick, somebody's second round pick, their star quarterback. It makes waivers much more fun than sitting there going like, huh, well, Romeo Dobbs got four targets last week. Maybe he's carving out a role. No, no, you're bidding on stars. And make KOK YT. Where is the guillotine league? I'll join. I appreciate that. guillotineleagues.com. guillotineleagues.com. Or you can look for it in the app store, the guillotine league app. It's, our tech is awesome. It was built by some, some former fan duo guys.

It's, it's really fantastic. All right.

It is time now for Love Hate. One last, oh, sorry. You know me, I'm all over the place. And even more so when I don't have someone else to keep you on the rails.

Josh Jacobs.

I want to get into Love Hate. So we will discuss Josh Jacobs on Monday.

And partially because I want to get into Love Hate. And candidly, there's not a ton at the moment to talk about and discuss and to really get into other than the fact that there is clear risk in drafting him right now. There's a lot that's unknown with Josh Jacobs and we'll get into it all on Monday. But what I would say is that I would avoid, I would lower Josh Jacobs and probably understand that if you draft him, there is significantly more risk than there was previously. And I would reach for Marshawn Lloyd. And by the way, when you get into those middle runs, when you start getting into the backup running backs of the guys in committee, Marshawn Lloyd should be in that tier.
