King Over reaction

T: Welcome back Islanders. This is T and King coming at you today with a week 3 overreaction. That's right. I'm going to go ahead and throw out a question to King. And is this an over or under reaction coconut statement?

King? I hope you're ready for this one. I'm just going to go ahead and throw it out there, man. Miami has five startable players in fantasy right now. King. What say you on that?

King: Yeah, thanks for that intro, T. Hey, yeah, you know, I mean, I guess, you know, when you look at Miami and what they have going, you can really make an argument for five starters, but I think I'm gonna throw a little curveball in there. I think the hard thing is obviously everybody saw the blow up week with A Chain and, Moustard.

I don't know how, how long that's, or if that's even going to happen again, ever. Something like that on that team. So it's really hard to play both those guys at the same time. T so, but let's throw a little curve ball at you. You know what I mean? You got, obviously you got one of those two guys and let's just call it as default, we'll call mobster at the starter.

So most it's the guy you need to roster right now. And if you know, 18 in the next three games, he's consistent in this floors, like 14 or 15 points. And yeah, he's a must starter. Now we might be up to six because you have most, or you have cheetah. You have waddle once he gets, you know, better. I think the other receivers, they flash, they do whatever they're going to do.

But, you know, two, obviously my two for MVP, but I think the fifth guy in the little curve ball here is a guy that maybe not a lot of people are familiar with is our boy Durham Smythe. All right. This guy can play ball guys. They got rid of guys. Secchi didn't even want to deal with him anymore. And guys, Secchi was making some very.

Key instrumental catches for them at crucial times in the games. The knock on guy's sec. He was, he was turning the ball over as well, but Durham Smythe is a very big athletic tight end. Who can block, who can catch, who can do a lot of different things out there and they can split them out wide. They have a lot of options here, but I think by the mid season, if they can get a couple of games with Durham Smythe under their belt, where he has a couple of blow ups and has, let's just throw some numbers out six or seven catches for 80, 90 yards with a Teddy, maybe two Teddy's, you know, maybe even a little bit less yardage than that.

Then he's going to be in that Sam LaPorta category right away, just because the team he's on. So keep an eye on Durham Smythe guys. But to answer your question, they do have five startable players in fantasy. Miami dolphins are killing it this year. Nice question. T.

T: Thanks, King. But, uh, you know, hey, that's putting your coconuts out there right now because I was thinking five startable players in fantasy, but you just kind of up the ante and said a six one. I don't know about that. That's a little bit of a reach King. I'm just going to be honest with you. I think it's a little bit of a reach.

But we shall see you are a little bit of a nutty professor and always come up with these crazy ideas or throwing out your coconuts all the time. And damn, do they hit. So for RW King, I'm T Bambos over where they're in the corner, sitting down in time out, and we are out.
