What's up, friends? Welcome into Fantasy Focus Football. Pumped to be here with my best friend Field Yates and a guy he knows named Mike Clay. Excited about this one on a Thursday.

Mike, what are you wearing over there?

Mike Clay (0:52)

I'm wearing my, it's election season, I'm wearing my Leslie...

Daniel Dopp (0:55)

Leslie Nope 2012

Mike Clay (0:56)

2012 t-shirt, a little foreshadowing on something we're going to get into a little later in the show.

Daniel Dopp (1:00)

I like that.

Field Yates (1:01)

I was late on Parks and Rec, and I definitely felt some FOMO when people would make Parks and Rec references or jokes, and I was like, I don't really know what they're saying, but I have to tell you, the ability to watch that show nonstop in a very short period of time brought me so much joy. Oh my god, it was so good.

Daniel Dopp (1:21)

It's a great dopamine hit if you just want to put on a fun show and laugh and have a good time, it's unbelievable.

Mike Clay (1:26)

Anything Michael Schurr puts his name on is amazing. A guy that has a sports background as well was Fierce Joe Morgan, Ken Tremendous, so we love him. One of my favorite people that creates content.

Daniel Dopp (1:37)

He's unbelievable. He's our favorite Michael in sports, actually.

Mike Clay (1:40)

I would agree, I agree. So that's okay, okay.

Daniel Dopp (1:44)

On today's show, we got a bunch to get into, obviously, week six game previews, part one. We're going to do the rest of the game previews tomorrow as well. We're going to dive into a bunch of them today. And a quick shout out to our friends over at Trophy Smack. Use the promo code TROPHE week six for 10% off your order over there. Grab yourself a belt or a turnover chain.

And first and foremost, guys, before we get into anything else, a little bit of news.

Field Yates (2:05)

Yeah, we got some news.

Daniel Dopp (2:05)

Just to dive in, Mike, true or false? We do not have to watch Tuatunga Wailoa throw passes for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Mike Clay (2:13)

Sounds like that is true, barring a surprising setback. It's like Michael Penick Jr will be under center.

Daniel Dopp (2:18)

Another Michael Jr. Look at that. You're talking about a bunch of Michael so far.

Mike Clay (2:21)

Why do you think I was teed up on this? Yeah, we got Michael Jr. on the screen and Michael Clay there. That's Michael Jr. as well. So yeah, look, he's going to start. And again, I forget which team we were talking about yesterday in this regard, but it's pretty straightforward, you know? Cowboys?

Maybe. But it was like, you know, the line up locks, you know? I think it was Baltimore. We were talking about Zay and Derek Henry. Same kind of thing. Bichon Robinson, no matter what, you're firing him up. Drake London, no matter what, you're firing him up. And I don't think there's really any other conversations right now. We'll talk about Kyle Pitts a little bit later, and if he's trending toward startable, but he's not in the top 12 just yet. He's not there. And Michael Pennex doesn't run enough to be a fantasy starter right now, not to mention they are running the ball a lot, especially near the goal line. So it's pretty straightforward. You got two line up locks from Atlanta, and that's it.

Field Yates (3:06)

Yeah, more than anything, it just means that Drake London's values.

Daniel Dopp (3:09)

You feel good about it. Where it was, right?

Field Yates (3:10)

That's the most important part here is just, we saw what it looked like with Cooper Rush for two weeks. Two, I think, would be better than that, but certainly not as good as we have seen it be with Michael Pennex over the past two weeks. Three weeks now.

Mike Clay (3:23)

Three weeks.

Daniel Dopp (3:24)

Little bit more news though, it looks like we are officially going to have Caleb Williams. Fingers crossed under center as well, Field.
