Week 2 Love/Hate

Matthew Berry (0:08)

Brothers and sisters, friends of the Revolution, it is Love Hate Day. Welcome. As the Happy Hour Bar is officially open, it is noon on YouTube, but you know what? It is 5 o'clock somewhere. So what better time than to get in to Love Hate for week number 2 We've also got a couple of pieces of news right off, off the top, obviously. And we're going to start with the one that just broke a little while ago, which is about Nico Collins. And so it's me. It's just me, by the way. No guest today. It's just me. As you see it there on your screen, Nico Collins hurts his hamstring in practice, may not play in week 2 It doesn't sound serious, but there is a chance that he's going to miss this weekend's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. There's the Schefter tweet right there. He met with doctors after this quote, doesn't believe it's serious, per source. But Collins' status in Sunday's game versus the Bengals is in jeopardy. We're all in jeopardy in one way or the other. But what does this mean for you? What does that mean for me? What does that mean for all of us that have Nico Collins on our team? And the answer is not great. Look, you've got Kaishan Booty, you've got Xavier Hutchinson, you've got Jalen Noel, right? They're all going to play. That's going to be the guys that take over for Nico Collins. I don't have a great sense that, oh, you got to go play this guy. I don't know that anyone in particular, like if you wanted to swing for the fences, I suppose Kaishan Booty, right? You know, this is somebody that has made some big plays in the past, and you could see them taking a couple of deep shots to Kaishan Booty. I think the guy that has the best floor, with also the most upside is probably Jalen Noel. I think he's probably the most talented wide receiver on the team. You know, they play him in the slot, so they'll probably get him some easy touches as well. They move him all over the place, and he's a guy that they drafted last year, they have high hopes for. So, I think that Jalen Noel is actually a guy that probably has both the highest floor and the highest ceiling is Greg Lau, 100 says the Texans wide receiver room is a disaster. And that's exactly the point, Greg Lau. I don't know that any of these guys are guys that I'm rushing to pick up at the waiver wire, that I'm rushing to start this week. I think they're all going to be kind of wide receiver four fives this week, and I would be lying if I said I felt really good. Oh yeah, it's definitely all going to Kaishan Booty, or it's definitely all going to Jalen Noel. I mean, again, it's a little bit of a crapshoot hoot, a crapshoot here, but El Segundo 3, like this is the key, right? He says, Monty gets an uptick in targets too, no? Listen, I think 40 touches incoming for David Montgomery. Like that's an exaggeration obviously, but that's probably what they're going to do. I think you'll see some Woody Marks. I think you'll see Dave Montgomery touch the ball a ton. I think they'll spread it around of those guys. It wouldn't be surprising if we're sitting here Monday morning, and the guy that leads the Texans in targets is actually Dalton Schultz, who becomes a low end Titan 1 this week as a millennial Falcon says, booty, booty, booty, booty, rocking everywhere. Maybe, I don't know, millennial Falcon 86

I think in a best case scenario, you're avoiding the Texans pass catchers if you can. We're not in buys yet and yes, there are some injuries that we're going to get to. You know, Zay Flowers a little bit banged up, Lad McConkey a little bit banged up. You know, there's a chance that you're going to need to dig a little deeper. But with no teams on a buy, feels like you should be able to do better than one of the Texans wide receivers unless you're in a super deep league. One thing I can tell all of you is that we will get to the bottom of all of these injuries. Tomorrow, when Star Fanya Bell makes her triumphant return to the Happy Hour Bar. That's right. A lot of negotiation had to go on back and forth. You know, Stephanie's people, I had to call her people and then her people had to call Stephanie's other people and her assistants. It's a whole thing with Stephanie. Star Fanya Bell, but we've managed to come to an agreement and negotiations have been completed. So I'm very excited that tomorrow and every Friday moving forward, Star Fanya Bell will be in the house. So very excited about that. We love Stephanie. So that'll be fun. So she's going to give us some information tomorrow, along with a friend of Fantasy Football Happy Hour, my former colleague, my dear friend, Dan Graziano, who is a hardcore fantasy player and one of the best NFL insiders in the business. So between Stephanie and Dan Graziano, we will get you ready for Sunday. Great show tomorrow as well. As everyone here, very excited about Stephanie Friday, star FFHH.
