I didn't become a backwards hat brother with you, though. I don't know if I should. Should I backwards hat it a little bit?
Boo.
Where's the
boo sound effect here?
What is the impact of Brock Bowers’ meniscus surgery on the Raiders offense?
There we go. Okay, good.
Now
we're rocking. All
right. Now we're now we're rolling with it. All right, Erickson, let's jump into this. We've got some big storylines and we want to interact with you guys as well. So please feel free to drop questions in the chat. We'll try to interact and kind of interchange them, especially if they are on the topic of discussion. And we want to talk about week one. What are the biggest storylines and the biggest storyline just happened within the last hour? News that would have been good to know yesterday. Brock Bowers undergoes a meniscus trim. Is that I've never even heard of a meniscus trim. He is undergoing a meniscus trim, which now might potentially be keeping him out for a couple of weeks, one to two weeks. Awesome to have known before.
We now don't know it. There was a time, Erickson, where I had a topic for this show to be, what is a more unwatchable game this week? Titans and Jets or Raiders and Dolphins? And this has now become more competitive because without the Raiders, how is this offense going to move? So talk to us about your reaction. What do you think about Brock Bowers and his meniscus trim?
Absolute bombshell that was dropped here as we're putting the final touches on our season-long fantasy football rankings. It feels... dirty wrong to move Bowers because he's been tight in one all off season leading up to drafts. Basically, most people have already drafted their team. So it feels disingenuous to be like, well, I'm going to move him down. Now he's going to miss a couple of games. Again, he can still be fantasy tight in one, even if he misses two games. And if we had known this a week ago, I still would have been targeting Brock Bowers. I think in fantasy drafts, even at the discount. So I'm not going to move him from my tight. I want rankings and I will just We'll just see what happens. Again, Titans can miss time.
It's not like Trey McBride or Colson Lovett are immune from missing games this season. But yeah, this really sucks for anyone that recently drafted a fantasy team. I actually looked at my Brock Bowers exposure and among all my teams, the one team that I have him on is my wife's team.
It sucks.
She's going to be pissed. She's going to be pissed because it's her work league. And I convinced her to do it. And I said, well, let's get this elite tight end. Let's get the Brock Bowers
here. This will be great, honey.
And it's going to be an unpleasant dinner conversation when I say, babe.
