What up, friends? Welcome into Fantasy Focus Football. That's right. Alongside Michael Lester Clay Jr. and Field Minister Yates, my name is Daniel David Dopps. Super pumped about today. Didn't I say Minister Gates? Oh, you did. Okay, sorry. I blacked out for a second.
Sorry
about that. I'm distracted because we have some TV viewing for this evening. Yes, we do. Wednesday night football. You know what doesn't roll off the tongue quite the same? Wednesday night football. Wednesday night football. Yeah, I sent like an email and it was like something about the game and it was WNF. That feels weird. It feels weird. It was weird, but we'll take it. Yes, we will. Yes, we will. All right, quick shout out before we dive into that. Our buddy Eric Moody hanging out in chat as he always does. Follow him on social media at Eric and Moody. And by the way, when you're watching Fantasy Focus Countdown on Sunday morning, getting ready for the rest of week one, have up that second screen experience.
You can watch Eric Moody on Fantasy Focus Sunday kickoff. presented by Lowe's live on the NFL and ESPN YouTube page while you are watching us on Fantasy Focus. Countdown. You can get your lineups answered during the commercial breaks. Moody in there doing all the stuff. Shaking babies, kissing people, all the good things. Shaking babies? You're not supposed to do that. Yeah, kissing people, shaking babies. No, kissing hands. Shaking hands. Shaking hands, kissing babies. There you go. He did a bad job. I'm wondering, it's presented by Lowe's, so does Eric have to, like, is he on camera, like, building
something? He has to wear a construction hat. Yes.
Yeah, he has to, like, he has to do some sort of construction while answering questions.
I love that. I feel like that
should be a thing. Like, he's a workshop.
Yes.
Workshopping lineups, and he's workshopping a birdhouse. I took my kids to Lowe's
this weekend, and the stuff that they wanted to buy was the most ridiculous
and hilarious
collection of stuff. Like, my middle child wanted to buy about 100 rat traps.
Uh-huh. Just for
fun? We need these, Dad. Thankfully,
there are no rats in the
house. But
we don't need them. You'll know when you need them. Then she was like, okay,
however. Have you considered this laundry detergent? Because we've got 150 ounces worth of
laundry detergent
available at a very discounted rate. Hey, those stores are awesome. I
was going to say the same thing. Yeah, I'm into that too.
I went
there because I love this place. Oh, I love that. Hey, we're diving into our week one rankings as well, plus a really fun ranking segment at the end of the show. I promise you want to stick around for this one. But first and foremost, guys, normally we do our previews at the end of the show. I don't want to wait. We've been waiting for a football for forever. Let's dive into our Wednesday night football preview. Patriots and the Seahawks. That was a sick graphic. We got lineup locks for this one straight from Mike Clay's playbook. Potentially out today on the dot com. We'll find out. It's week one. I decided to file early, so maybe it'll be on. Maybe it'll be live today. All right, then I'm going to hand this over to you.
Who is a lineup block for your playbook, Mike Clay? Well, it's on the screen right there, Daniel. Well, not everyone is watching on YouTube. Oh, yeah, you're right. Okay, Jackson Smith and Jigba and A.J. Brown, of course, the premier wide receivers for both teams. And we had a late addition. Yeah, we did. Ramondre Stevenson. If you drafted Stevenson, yeah, it was a middle-round pick. You might be pretty good at running back, but you're getting him in your lineup because he's a top 20 play with no Trevion Henderson. We saw a little bit of that down the stretch last season, and Stevenson delivered in those positions where he was the clear feature back, had a terrific end to the regular season, and obviously was very busy during the playoffs.
So as far as I'm concerned, I don't know if you guys agree, I'm at RB16. I think he should be locked in.
