What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I'm hoping for a continuation of the week two version. To me, he did his best men in black impression, pulled out a neuralyzer, and erased my memory. Hey, I'm Liz Loza. This is Facts vs. Feelings, and today's fact is just when you think you know something, turns out you know nothing at all. Daniel Dopp, we are in Bristol together and
there are no
boxes involved.
No, no one has a box here. There will be
later though.
Yes, at some point there will be two boxes.
Yes,
it'll be exciting. Very excited about that.
Just a little tease.
Okay. I'm very excited to do a show with you in person. These are my favorite shows to do because I get to see you and your face and all the stuff.
And we can just vibe. We can talk about football. Should we do that?
Yeah. Also, we're both wearing boots. And I just like that because it's kind of, yes, it's boot weather. It's sweater weather. It's long sleeve weather. And I'm excited about that. It's also maybe Dak Prescott weather. I thought I knew what was going on in week one when I saw Dak Prescott. Didn't look great. And then in week two, crushed against the Commanders.
Yes.
So who do I get here in week three?
I'm hoping for a continuation of the week two version. To me, he did his best men in black impression, pulled out a neuralyzer
and
erased my memory of his week one showing by throwing for four touchdowns and loved this rushing. Remember when Dak Prescott used to be a mobile quarterback, rushed for 26 yards. In fact, so far this season, he is averaging a career high 20 rushing yards per game.
That's actually pretty legit, to be honest. How do you feel, though, about the fact that this is one against a Baltimore defense, although we did just see Tyler Shuck score over 22 fantasy points
again. Also rushed well in that game.
And it's going to be in Brazil. That's
true, too.
So is that changing anything for you?
So I don't normally love an international game. I also don't love when— For fantasy purposes, right. But I also don't love when three starting quarterbacks—
Oh,
yeah. Caleb Williams, Jackson Dart— and
Jaden Daniels
are all going to be missing from the slate. I think we have to adapt accordingly. And the thing I do like about this contest is that the over-under is 52.5. It's the highest over-under for the week. I do have a fun fact about Dak Prescott, who in playing 29 games in which the total has been 50 or more points, he has averaged over 20 fantasy points per game.
That was a fun fact. Yes. It makes me feel
good about
a
top eight showing, I think.
I'm with you on that. Do you have
him ranked inside your
top ten? I have him ranked inside my top nine, I believe. I've got him at nine at the position.
Should I trust Dak Prescott in the Week 3 matchup against the Ravens in Brazil?
He's a starting quarterback for me this week. One of the guys that hasn't been as good this week,
or actually this season,
Drake May, unfortunately, two straight back-to-back duds. Two weeks in which he didn't even hit double-digit fantasy points, Liz. Now he's taking on Jacksonville Jaguars. Are we at the point where you're benching him, or are you rolling him out there for one more week?
I think because of the injuries to the quarterback
position, we
have to roll him out, but I don't want to. I don't feel good about it. He's thrown one touchdown over the last two weeks. Would you like some context as to the other quarterbacks who have only managed to throw one touchdown over the last three weeks?
Thank you. I consent to that context.
Okay. Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. Geno Smith. Okay. Baker Mayfield. Do you think any of them were drafted inside the top
five players in position? That's not a good fantasy list of quarterbacks.
No, it's not. But do you know what else Drake May did?
What?
He also threw four interceptions.
Okay.
Would you like to know the name of the other quarterback who leads the league currently in interceptions?
I would.
It's Cooper Rush.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's not great company to be in, Liz Loza. We drafted Drake May to be a top five quarterback for us. I had him as my QB2 coming in. Part of that was he was going to have A.J. Brown. Clearly, obviously, A.J. Brown on IR right now, so that's going to impact things.
