Season 2 Episode 3 RECAP
🎙️ Highly Disputed S2E3: Week 2 Matchups, Start/Sits & MoneyLine Picks
Football is back, and so are Sauce Chef and Professor Jay — fueled by whiskey, sarcasm, and way too much misplaced confidence in their fantasy rosters. In this week’s episode of Highly Disputed, the duo tackles everything from nostalgic NFL takes to bold Week 2 predictions.
Key Highlights
🔥 Overreactions Galore:
Week 1 is in the books, which means everyone thinks they’re either a genius GM or destined for last place. The guys remind us: calm down. Patterns start showing in Week 2, not Week 1.
🏈 Fan Origins & Football Nostalgia:
Professor Jay explains why he’s a Giants fan (hint: growing up in Syracuse with Eli beating Brady twice didn’t hurt).
Sauce Chef relives his Tampa Bay glory days, rattling off legends like Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber, and Warren Sapp.
They even shout out the Barber brothers, Booger McFarland, and some of the most random-but-iconic moments of 2000s football.
📉 Start/Sit Debates:
The real meat of the pod — which players you should start, and which should stay glued to your bench. Some hot calls include:
Caleb Williams → Startable in the right spots, but maybe not a top-12 QB this week.
Cole Kmet → Could be sneaky value if Caleb looks his way.
DeAndre Swift → Boom or bust, but they see a revenge narrative cooking.
Lions WRs → Expect vertical passing. Jameson & Amon-Ra both in play.
Giants WR Malik Nabers → Only start-worthy Giant until further notice.
Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson → A sleeper against NY’s shaky middle defense.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence → A hard “sit until further notice.”
Bengals WR Jamar Chase → Smash start. Sauce Chef calls it a “Burrow-Chase festival.”
🔮 Bold Predictions & MoneyLine Picks:
Bears upset over the Lions (don’t shoot the messenger).
Packers defense = elite. Bench your stars against them.
Bengals to stomp Jacksonville in a statement win.
Giants? Well… let’s just say Sauce Chef is already eyeing Malik Nabers as their only bright spot.
🤣 Side Tangents Worth the Listen:
Sauce Chef flaming Jerry Jones for “war crimes in roster management.”
A Tom Brady clip about how NFL teams fail at developing young QBs.
A heartfelt farewell(?) to Austin Ekeler, one of fantasy football’s OG cheat codes.
Why You Should Listen
If you want equal parts strategy, trash talk, and whiskey-soaked NFL wisdom — this is your pod. It’s football talk that makes you laugh and makes you second-guess your lineup.
