We are your spot every single week. make sure you are subscribed to Fantasy Football Daily, wherever you get your podcast, and make sure you subscribe to Fantasy Points YouTube, YouTube, the fastest growing YouTube channel in fantasy football. And guys, we got to talk about it because we were ready to bury him last week. And it's Kenneth Walker. And Kenneth Walker is back, 105 rushing yards, 8.1 yards per carry, also caught a target for 13

yards, 13-yard reception. And the biggest takeaway is Seattle wins a road game. Last week there was a ton of trepidation in the marketplace. Kenneth Walker was out snapped by Zach Charbonnet, and they had like a dead heat when it came to touches. This was the most tilting start to the season. Kenneth Walker, there was a lot of people on fantasy points, including myself, including Scott Barrett, that were looking for Walker to have a very big season. It was not the start that we were looking for.

Zach Charbonnet out snapped him last week, very, very tilting. We talked about this on School of Scott podcast throughout the summer about like sort of playing a little bit of catch up with Zach Charbonnet, but drafting Kenneth Walker at cost. Walker, of course, missed time in the preseason. Charbonnet played. Maybe that's sort of he needed a little bit of a ramp up last week. But we saw the explosiveness that we're used to when it comes to Kenneth Walker. This was a huge one for fantasy managers. Kenneth Walker was a early fourth round pick and sometimes a late third round pick.

And he looked like it. It absolutely looked like it. This week was a huge step forward for him. And looking at Seattle, this team has some good, good vibes right now. They could have beat San Francisco last week. They get the big road win in Pittsburgh this week, which is a tough place to win. And Seattle looks like they could have a little bit of juice in this division. The upcoming schedule, they have the Saints at home in Seattle next week, a game that they probably win.

And then a massive, massive matchup against the Arizona. Cardinals in week four. This team's got a little bit of juice. We're going to talk about JSN a little bit later on the show, but the biggest takeaway for me is Kenneth Walker. And as a note for us in fantasy, we oftentimes look at try to find out teams who maybe we should start our wide receivers against, start our running backs against. Right now it's looking like the Pittsburgh Steelers are a team that we want to use running backs against. A big week from Breece Hall in week one, a big week from Kenneth Walker in week two. It's not a team that we want to cram in just anybody. But if you ever have a start-sit decision, it's looking like Pittsburgh has lost

their mojo as a run stuffing powerhouse. We're going to keep an eye on that one when it comes to the Steelers down the line. Keeping it going, the next biggest takeaway for me, and this should have been up at the top, I mean, maybe could have been up at the top, is John Morton, Jared Gough, the Detroit Lions, Amon Ross St. Brown, an absolute beat down. Ben Johnson, love. to put it on people. Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson continually would blow people out. We saw it in multiple seasons in Detroit. When Ben Johnson had an opportunity to put 40 on you, to put 45 on you, he absolutely would. They would win with style. They would win with tenacity. They would win with balance. And the lions with Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson just put up

unbelievable numbers. Now we get the first game of John Morton. And it's an absolute disaster. The Lions completely beat down by Green Bay last week. This was a must-win game. Vegas made Detroit a sizable favorite, and they looked at the line Vegas put out there, and they absolutely laughed at it. This was a great game if you were a Jamir Gibbs manager. You got Jamir Gibbs, who really failed to put up some rushing yards against Green Bay, had 12 rushes for 94 yards, had a touchdown, including a vintage 42-yard run. Gibbs only had three catches, but he out targeted David Montgomery three to one. You're still feeling very good about things with Jemir Gibbs.

Montgomery scored a rushing touchdown. Jameson Williams had a long touchdown catch, a 64-yarder. Jameson Williams, again, it doesn't have the volume we want to see, but this week he got there, 108 receiving yards, gets the long touchdown, only two receptions. But the story of the day was Amon-Ross St. Brown. I'm on Ross St. Brown, an absolute beastly game, nine catches, 115 yards, and three touchdown grabs.

I got to say I'm a little worried that I don't have enough sun god on my teams this year. I think if this was Brian Thomas Jr., Nico Collins, Drake London, any one of these wide receivers that we pushed up to that one-two-turn area this past summer, and I was very guilty of it. I pounded the table for Drake London. and Drake London still is, I think, going to be a very, very good pick. Nico Collins had a slow first game. I'm recording this before Monday night football.

We don't know how he's going to do in that game against Tampa this week. And then BTJ been a very frustrating two weeks for managers who put BTJ in those top 15 overall picks. I still think BTJ, Brian Thomas Jr. is going to get there, was targeted twice in the end zone today. Neither one connected. But a big game, I think, is coming for Brian Thomas Jr. but I think there's a lot of managers who drafted Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of Amman Ross St. Brown right now who wish they could just trade in every single share. Amon Ross St. Brown has three touchdown catches and it's not even really being talked about.

An unbelievable player, he continues to put up big numbers. And Jared Goff. Jared Goff, like this is one where we talk about the splits. And when Jared Goff plays indoors, it's always a better story than when he plays outdoors. Of course there's going to be exceptions to this rule, but Goff has a stunning five touchdown passes, zero interceptions, just really, really an impressive showing from Goff, 334 passing yards after a disaster last week against Green Bay.

Is Detroit going to be as good as they were last year? That's going to be very, very difficult. And next week is going to be a huge test. One of the sort of made-for-TV games of the season and a made-for-TV game for fantasy managers. Baltimore Ravens next week are hosting the Detroit Lions. That game is going to be an incredible one in Baltimore, two teams that are one-in-one,

looking to move to two-in-one, two teams that consider themselves contenders. But then after that, Detroit gets the Browns at home, and they get the Bengals away, and now they get the chiefs on the road that doesn't look as difficult as it did earlier in the year. So we've got the Detroit lines with a chance to sort of get things right after that disaster game.

And we talk about the road game in Cincinnati and saying that that's not a difficult matchup. And one of the main reasons for that is it's looking like Joe Burrow will miss that week. We do not have clarity as to how many weeks he's going to miss. But it was a really, really troublesome moment for Joe Burrow fantasy managers today where Burrow exits the game. He's helped off by like two coaches. It was a really sort of an ugly scene. And we start going through nightmare scenarios in our head of just how bad could this injury be. How much time is Joe Burrow going to miss?

We've seen Burrow had the fantastic 2024, missed a bunch of time in 2023. And Burrow now looks like he's going to miss a few weeks. It's turf toe with ligament damage. We, again, we don't know. maybe by Tuesday we're going to have a little bit more clarity, but be prepared to pivot if Joe Burrow is your starting quarterback in redraft in single QB leagues. And if Joe Burrow is one of your quarterbacks in Superflex, be prepared to pivot.

And one of the players that's going to be available to you is Jake Browning. And Jake Browning comes in the game today. And Jake Browning is not Joe Burrow. Don't get it twisted. I don't think that Jake Browning is anywhere near what Joe Burrow is. Jake Browning is, though, a backup quarterback that can help us in fantasy football. Occasionally in fantasy football, there are backup quarterbacks where we have to almost abandon ship, and it's such a drop-off for the skill position players that we have to end up pivoting and making tough decisions.

With Cincinnati, Jake Browning is a good enough quarterback for fantasy football that Browning is going to be able to support your Jamar Chase shares. Jamar Chase will still be a top three wide receiver. at the worst, and he still can be the wide receiver one with Jake Browning. Jake Browning will hyper target Jamar Chase is my prediction. Jamar Chase had 16 targets today, caught 14 of them, 165 receiving yards and a touchdown. Unbelievable player Jamar Chase is, no adjustments there. T. Higgins is still a locked in fantasy starter. Jake Browning connected with T. Higgins today.

T. Higgins, a slow start, but he does get eight targets today, catches a touchdown pass. very disappointing game from Chase Brown today. Chase Brown only 47 rushing yards still dominated the backfield. Had 16 carries, no other Cincinnati Bengal back had a carry. Chase Brown also had three targets, but a very disappointing game. Chase Brown, I think you could move down a little bit to like that high end RB2, low end RB1 with Jake Browning behind center, but he's still in your starting lineup. But let's talk about Jake Browning.

And Jake Browning in 2023, when he had this opportunity, was fantasy friendly and fantasy viable. Jake Browning had five weeks where he was a top 12 quarterback. Say that again, he was a QB1 in five weeks in 2023. So we know Jake Browning could put up some fantasy points, enough fantasy points to keep your Cincinnati Bengals players sort of upright while Joe Burrow misses time. So if you're a Joe Burrow manager, keep an eye on who's available on the waiver wire. But you're going to have to pivot the next couple weeks. This is going to be a tough one if you drafted Joe Burrow early. He was going as a top five quarterback selection, sometimes a QB4, sometimes the QB5,

but he was routinely drafted as a top five selection. Used a high pick on him, but we're not going to take zeros. Quarterback is the easiest position to stream. And we talked about Browning, but there's another quarterback that we're going to going to talk about on the Waver Wire and make sure you are tuned in to fantasy football daily, both as a podcast and Fantasy Points YouTube. Every single week we're dropping our Waver Wire show. This has been very popular for two weeks in a row. We've had hit after hit after hit for two consecutive weeks. Joe Dolan, Tom Broly and myself.

is Daniel Jones. Colts right now, there is some unbelievably good mojo in Indianapolis. The vibes in Indianapolis are very, very strong. Indianapolis wins the game that everybody had circled for them at the early season. We talked about it here last week. Indianapolis had some incredible moments against them today. Talk about Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan Taylor, 165 rushing yards on 25 carries, six and a half, excuse me, 6.6 yards per carry. Unbelievable from him.

More good stuff from Tyler Warren. Tyler Warren has four catches for 79 yards. And Jonathan Taylor as a pass catcher gives you two catches for 50 yards. But the story really is Daniel Jones. We talked about it last year. We talked about it last year when it came to Sam Darnold. We talked about it the year before when it came to Baker Mayfield.

23 Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay. 2024 Sam Darnold in Minnesota. Now this year, Daniel Jones in Indianapolis. These quarterbacks get left for dead in fantasy football because they messed up in a previous situation. Their situation improves. And these teams that believe in them put them in good situations where they can put up fantasy numbers and they thrive. I think we're seeing it again this year. Baker Mayfield was a QB1 in 2020.

in Tampa Bay, took his game to another level last year, was putting up like top five numbers last year in Tampa Bay. But in 2023, he was sort of a low-end QB-1, Dave Canales as the OC. Last year, we saw Sam Darnold take his opportunity in Minnesota, ran with it, put up really, really solid numbers, was a low-end QB1. This year, I think it's Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones had three touchdowns in week one. He had two touchdowns this week. But a one, But one thing that he did is he threw for no interceptions against this very tough, tough Denver defense. So he had 316 passing yards, a huge step forward for him as a passer.

And he also scored on a rushing touchdown. So this is back-to-back weeks of him finding a rushing score, three rushing scores in two weeks, and now has two passing touchdowns in two weeks. Again, very difficult defense in Denver that in a year. Indianapolis went up against. And let's talk about these Colts. The Colts are 2 and O. And you hear it every time you're watching Red Zone, every time you're watching an NFL broadcast, when a team goes 2 and O, their chances of making the playoffs go up exponentially. And I think this is just the start of something when it comes to Indianapolis. Next week on the road at Tennessee, then they play the Rams on the road in week four, which is going to be a

very tough matchup. And then a tricky matchup in week five against the Las Vegas Raiders and a tricky matchup in week six against the Arizona Cardinals. But all of those next four that I mentioned, the Colts have a chance to win. I think that there's a chance that we're going to see the Colts at five and one or maybe four and two at the end of their first six with a their eyes on winning the AFC South and their eyes on making the playoffs with Daniel Jones behind center. If you have Jonathan Taylor, feel fantastic about him. If you have Tyler Warren, you've got a player who's probably a top six, top seven fantasy tight end this year with Spike Weeks on the way. And if Daniel Jones on your waiver wire and you don't like your QB2,

go get yourself some Daniel Jones. He has a chance to have the best season he's ever had as a pro. And that's including his 2022 season where he rushed for over 700 rushing yards and was a QB1 in New York. Daniel Jones is really, really locked in right now, a really, really fun one. And we're talking about the Rams who are going to play the NAA, Appalice Colts in week four, and we've got to talk about how unbelievable the dynamic duo pass catchers were. We heard this all offseason long about how Puka Nakua and Devante

Adams could be the best combination of any wide receivers in football, and we finally saw what a peak week between the two of them combined could look like. Unbelievable performance with these two guys playing side by side, putting up huge numbers. The Rams moved to 2 and 0. They win 3319 on the road in Tennessee, dominating performance. But the story of the game was these two wide receivers thriving next to one another. Devante Adams has his best game as a ram, six catches, 106 yards, and a touchdown. Really, really impressive stuff from Devante Adams.

and Devante Adams, 13 targets. Despite his age, he is still a target magnet. We saw it on two teams last year, Las Vegas, New York, and now the L.A. Rams. Has a player ever had double-digit targets on under three teams in the same calendar year? That's got to be an NFL record for Devante Adams. But Puka Nakua thrives right alongside him. Nakua leads L.A. with eight catches for 91 yards. nine targets for him. And Puka also had a filthy, disgusting, 45-yard touchdown run where it was a grown-ass man run.

He put his shoulder down, broke tackles, took it to the house. If you have Pooka Nakuwa in your lineup, you are feeling good about things. Devante Adams in your lineup, you're feeling really good about things. And if you are somebody who loves usage, here's a stat for you. The L.A. Rams had 68% of their targets go to Pooka Nakuwa and Devante Adams combined. 68% shared target share, absolutely filthy. You're feeling great about both of these players. Got to take it back to the wide receiver spot, though.

A lot of wide receivers to talk about because this was a wide receiver week. And we've got to talk about Malik Neighbors. And is Malik Neighbors the next 200 target player in the NFL? I think we've got to start talking about Malik Neighbors as a wide receiver one overall candidate. We talked about Malik Neighbors as sort of a dark horse, wide receiver one overall candidate when it came to the preseason. We were able to get Malik neighbors at like the 110, the 111, the 109. Scott Barrett and I drafted a Malik neighbor's Pooka Kua team in the FFPCA main event.

That team's having a very, very fun week this week. But Malik neighbors, nine catches, 167 receiving yards. Russell Wilson had his best passing game ever as a pro, and a lot of his passes were Yolo balls to I'm going to force it down to number one. Number one is open downfield. I'm going to let this unbelievable wide receiver win it. And Malik Neighbors had 13 targets. Again, nine catches, 167 receiving yards, two touchdown catches.

Unbelievable. The Giants lost, but I don't think they're going to bench Russell Wilson. I thought that this would be a Jackson Dart quarterback team. I think that Russell Wilson certainly bought himself a little bit of time here. with this very tough performance against Dallas. Wilson, three touchdown passes. Really the story for me, though, Malik neighbors, nine catches, 167 yards. I know Wondell Robinson also had a really, really strong game, but Wondell having spike weeks like this, not usually going to happen. I think Wondell absolutely needs to be rostered. He is a flex consideration, a wide receiver three

consideration for a lot of people out there. Wondell continues to garner targets, had eight last week, 10 this week. But the story is really Malik Neighbors. Malik Neighbors is just an unbelievable target earner. We talk about players who have had 200 targets in a season. You're talking about players like Marvin Harrison, like Calvin Johnson. Malik Neighbors could very well be on his way. In 17 games as a pro, Malik Neighbors has been had had double digit targets in 12 of them. Think about that. 17 games played and he's had double-digit targets in 12 of them. He just turned 22 years old. Malik Neighbors is absolutely unbelievable.

I think when you talk about non-quarterback assets in Dynasty, Malik Neighbors is right there with Jamar Chase, an unbelievably talented player, just a ridiculous talent. Let's talk about another wide receiver. We talk about Malik Neighbors, who was fantastic as a rookie last season. let's talk about Teteroa McMillan who's coming on this year. And McMillan is not going to be really talked about too much this week

because Carolina loses another game. They had a valiant effort to make a comeback, but it was another situation where teams jump right out in front. Carolina, really, really a disappointing start to the season. They dropped to O and 2. Bryce Young, to his credit, had a strong second half. There was some good stuff there. But the storyline for me is McMillan.

McMillan last week had nine targets, follows it up with 10 targets this week, has six catches for 100 yards. There's not a whole lot working in Carolina right now. But McMillan, his role is going to grow and grow and grow. He showed his big playability this week with a 40-yard catch. I think that the touchdowns are going to come for him as well. but when you look at McMillan with 19 targets over his first two games played,

I think that's about the baseline, guys. I don't think you're going to see McMillan in games getting fewer than seven or eight targets. And I think we're going to start to see like we did with Malik Neighbors, like we did with Brock Bowers last year, like we did with Brian Thomas last year, the targets start to trend up. And I think you're going to see more and more double-digit target weeks from Tedro McMillan, 16 PPR points today. People are satisfied with that, but I think be patient.

The 20 plus point weeks are coming for McMillan. We've compared him to Drake London here at fantasy points. Brett Whitefield, a huge Tetaroa McMillan fan. Scott Barrett, a huge Tetaroa McMillan fan. He has the usage to have a really, really strong rest of the season. This was one of the bright spots for Carolina today. Tetero McMillan, his role is going to continue to grow as the season moves along. We talked about neighbors. I mentioned Brock Bowers.

Then there's a whole group of wide receivers where we said that's the breakout wide receiver. And today was certainly not a good day for Marvin Harrison Jr. managers. They had a little bit of PTSD for what they had in 2024. Harrison Jr., two catches, 27 yards. Not exactly what you signed up for for a player that every single fan, well, not every fantasy analyst, but a lot of fantasy analysts this summer were saying Marvin Harrison, Jr. is the breakout candidate this year. Another player who fantasy analysts were saying was going to be the year two, wide receiver breakout, was Ricky Purcell. Purcell, strong week and week one, little disappointing this week and week two. Purcell had four catches for 56 yards and only six targets.

Joanne Jennings had 10 targets, not the discrepancy you want to see based on the late ADP for those two. So the storyline for Harrison Jr. And the storyline for Purcell has certainly not been closed here. It's a long season. It's only week two. But right now, the year two breakout wide receiver looks like Rome Adunze. And Roma Dunezay was falling into the early seventh round, the late sixth round for FFPC main events, for NFFC prim times.

The Dunezay continually went in round six. And Adunze is really one of the only things that is working right now for this Chicago Bears offense. And really the bright spot when it comes to Chicago in the early season is Roma Dunezay. Adunzee last year was a catastrophic pick, a player that really, really hurt fantasy managers. People were very worried about Adunze firing off. I think a lot of people are breathing a sigh of relief, especially Dynasty managers who invested very high rookie draft picks on a Dunezay. Let's not forget, Roma Dunezay went side by side with Brock Bowers in rookie drafts. That was very, very tilting. Roma Dunesay went ahead of quarterbacks like

Bo Nicks in rookie drafts. So when we talk about Roma Dunesay, today was massive. The bears get smoked. They lose 5221, but Adunze finishes with seven catches for 128 receiving yards and two touchdown catches. That gives him in two weeks, he's had 13 catches on 20 targets and he's had three touchdown catches. A very, very strong start of the season for Roma Dunesay. This is the most productive bear, and this is what is working right now in the passing game, is Rome Dunesay. We're going to keep an eye on him and see if his usage can actually tick up. Ben Johnson has to be frustrated after losing this game on the road in Detroit. There's going to be a lot of questions asked by that coaching staff and look for Roma Dune's

usage to either stay the same or trend up because he is the most reliable threat they have offensively right now in Chicago. You and the Per Noelle, the pro of the embalage caduce. Mary Sissus, the deballage, is who the maher? The mull reiss-o-bird-arachid met your art of deballage at the preface. And with three mull-o-burd-arachid, cream-y and chocolate-forned-a-packed, you have to what to train? to find again and again

When you're flying Emirates business class, sipping your favorite cocktail at our onboard lounge, you'll see that your vacation isn't really over until your flight is over. Fly Emirates. Fly better. We talked about Kenneth Walker. and it's time we also talk about Jackson, Smith, and Jigba. I talked about him last week on this show, and I don't like repeating guys every single week.

It's sometimes important that we do, though, because JSN, last week I said JSN is going to go down as the best round three value that you could have walked away with at the wide receiver position. And it's looking like it's even better in week two. JSN starts out the year with this ridiculous usage. We see the slot snaps go down considerably, but the production going up. This is the dream for fantasy managers, this JSN usage.

Last week, we saw him have a 56% target share, dominant performance for him in a low-scoring game. This week, Seattle was a little bit better offensively. JSN had a 33% target share again. So 56% target share and 33% target share in consecutive weeks. That's alpha wide receiver 1 type usage. That's Jamar Chase type usage. That's Justin Jefferson type usage. That's a player who in year three of his career could have a top six, top seven finish

at the wide receiver position, potentially a top five. JSN had eight catches for 103 yards. Seattle wins against Pittsburgh. JSN is absolutely locked in. He's 23 years old. JSN last year we saw him have 100 catches. We saw him take a big step forward and give you like low end wide receiver one type numbers. This year, much, much better. Last year, he only had four weeks where he earned double digit targets. He now has two weeks, two games played and two weeks where he's given you double digit targets this year. JSN is absolutely locked in. And if you have them in, dynasty, if you haven't redraft, don't think you're selling up if you get like the BTJ manager on the line, the Nico Collins manager on the line. And they say, yo, you know, I'll take that JSN guy off your hands. You can take this guy that was drafted two rounds ahead because JSN right now with this sort of usage, this sort of pedigree, JSN is going to be right with those guys. You drafted

JSN in round three. Doesn't mean it's going to give you round three production. JSN is going to give you high-end round two production. You should feel very, very happy if you drafted him inside of round three. And to some of you managers, where JSN fell into round four, you're looking like your team is supercharged and could put up some ridiculous scoring numbers

as the season moves along. I think there's room to run for Seattle. We talked about them as a team. Sam Darnold, 295 passing yards today. He had the two picks, disappointing. Last week, of course, JSN had that fumble. as well. The turnovers have been annoying for Seattle, but this is an offense with a new

offensive coordinator, a new quarterback, a lot of turnover on the roster. I think Seattle is going to trend up and they play San Francisco and Pittsburgh in consecutive weeks. Things will get a little bit easier for them as the season moves along. Winning in Pittsburgh, if this was a college football program program program win, this is a program win for Seattle going on the East coast and winning at 1 o'clock east coast time across the country. That's a sign that they're a pretty good football team. The NFC West is a really, really strong division right now. Rams 2 and O, Cardinals 2 and O.

Seahawks 1-1, Big Road win against Pittsburgh. San Francisco, of course, wins on the road against New Orleans, eventually they'll get Brock Purdy back, eventually they get George Kittle back. There's going to be some really, really tough matchups down the line in the NFC West. I've got to talk about my guy, Travion Henderson, and I'm going to probably take a couple L's here because I was pounding the table for Trayvion. Towards the end of the summer,

we talked about Trayon Henderson on countless School of Scott podcasts, on countless Dynasty Life podcasts, and a lot of podcasts here on Fantasy Football Daily. I talked about what a great value Travion Henderson was in round five. Round five, you could get Trayvon Henderson. You could get Tetaroa McMillan. And right now, I'm taking early season L on Trayvion Henderson. Did I think it was going to be this way? Absolutely not. But Ramandre Stevenson

dominated the usage. He had 26 touches today. Remandre had five targets for 88 yards receiving, including a 55-yarder. That's supposed to be Trayvion Henderson. Remandre also had 11 carries for 54 yards. I really thought that we were going to get Trayvion Henderson. Excuse me, I misspoke on the on the total touches for Remandre. Remandre was 16 touches, not 26, but 16, still a very strong number out of Remandre Stevenson where you draft him. But Ramandre gets 11 carries. Travion only gets three. Travion did catch two passes for 30 yards, but it didn't really matter. It was an uneventful week for him, only 10 rushing yards, only five total touches on offense. This is not what we signed up for. Travion Henderson was the biggest ADP riser. And what I'm

nervous about is New England scored 33 points. So now you got Mike Vrable, you got Josh McDaniel, and they're going back and saying, we scored 33 points. The team played well. Drake May had two touchdown passes. Drake may had a rushing score. There's very good vibes with New England, getting a win, evening their record out at one and one. I think that we have to be patient for the Travion Henderson ascension. And this is one where I didn't think this would be a thing. The other thing that's annoying about the situation, we're not only dealing with Remandre Stevenson, but we're also dealing with Antonio Gibson,

who was supposed to be phased out. Gibson had five carries, and he had a catch. So Gibson is not fantasy viable, but it's another back taking away touches from Trayvion Henderson. This is a tough put right now if you have Trayvian Henderson. Absolutely, you're holding in Dynasty in redraft. I can't tell you what to do with him right now,

because I'm worried this could be more of the same, for the next two weeks. Henderson, I think the role is going to grow. They don't draft him in round two to have them have this like little usage. But again, it's not probably going to change in week three coming off of a 33 point outburst against a divisional opponent. Very, very tough one when it comes to Treveon Henderson. A lot of takeaways we covered. Really, really fun stuff today. I got to talk about James Cook, though. James Cook's another player. We talked about like Amon raw at the beginning of the show. I think if a lot of other running backs would have done what James Cook did today, there would be more hype about it. But the community sort of left James Cook

for dead where like we let him slip. We thought maybe there was potential for a holdout. James Cook, everybody talked about the lack of snaps last year. The storyline surrounding James Cook was, yeah, he scored 18 touchdowns, but yeah, he scored 18 touchdowns, but the snap share was low. But there's the contract holdout, but he's touchdown dependent, but they're going to work in Ty Johnson so that it caps the receiving upside. There was a lot of excuses made as to why we shouldn't draft James Cook. There was other people saying Ray Davis was going to cut into his touches. The bills want to use a committee. Well, you know, that narrative looks really, really poorly placed because James Cook, an absolutely sensational performance, 21 carries, 132,

yards and two touchdowns also catches a pass. James Cook is on another planet when it comes to scoring touchdowns. This is a stat that blew my mind. It'll blow yours as well, including last year's playoffs. James Cook now has 24 touchdowns in his last 21 games played. I'll say that one more time. James Cook now has 24 touchdown scored in his last 21 games played. We talk about fantasy running backs with the Buffalo Bills, you think back to Willis McGehy, you think back to Lashon McCoy, you think back to Thurman Thomas. And if you're very, very old or like me, you were a fan of the naked gun movies or, you know, grew up along the time of the OJ stuff, OJ Simpson, who it was unbelievable the numbers

he put up in Buffalo. So when you talk about those sort of running backs, James Cook is playing well enough to put himself up in the conversation for top five Buffalo running back of all time. Buffalo Bills fans, let me know in the comments here. Am I wrong here? But James Cook is looking like he's going to have a dominant two-year run. Three touchdowns in two games played. James Cook looks like he's going to give you his third straight season finishing as an RB1 in fantasy. He did it in 2024. He did it in 23 and it's looking like he's going to do it in 2025. We talk about JSN being able to break through and give you that sort of league winning

production out of round three. James Cook could be the league winning running back value out of round four. He was getting drafted behind Travian Henderson. He was getting drafted behind Kenneth Walker. He was getting drafted behind a lot of times, a lot of drafts behind Breece Hall. Certain drafts, he was right alongside with Alvin Kamar. James Cook looks like the best running back you could have drafted from that range. We have zero question marks about the Buffalo Bill's offense.

Buffalo bills are just printing when it comes to scoring points. Right now, there's not a better offense in the NFL than the Buffalo Bills. 71 points scored in consecutive weeks. And guess what? Buffalo has a Thursday night game against the Miami Dolphins this week in Buffalo. Buffalo might hang 40 on the Miami, dolphins and I'll make a prediction and not really a really a bold one guys James cook's going to find the end zone again because that's what James Cook does a couple of bonus takeaways.

Appreciate you guys sticking through for the top 10. A couple of bonus takeaways. Got to talk about the Jets. I think I overhyped them. We are going to celebrate our victories this year at fantasy points. We're also going to point out our Ls. Last week I had a lot of hype going with the Tanner Angstrand offense. I talked about it on school of Scott.

I talked about it here, how Justin Fields looked fantastic, Brees Hall looked fantastic, Garrett Wilson looked fantastic. This week it was anything, but I think this was a situation where I was a little bit too hyped about one game. And we saw today just how big of a discrepancy there is between Buffalo and the New York Jets. Buffalo was all over them start to finish. Now we have Justin Fields dealing with concussion-like symptoms. He had to leave the game today. It could be Tyrod Taylor this week for the New York Jets.

Rough, rough game for Breece Hall. Four receptions for 50 yards for Garrett Wilson. Last week seemed like a win for them just based on the vibes, based on how competitive they were with Pittsburgh. Really, really tough one. Now we talk about New York. Next week has to go on the road to Tampa Bay. Very, very tough game for them to win.

The Jets could be 0 and 3. to start out the season. And if you have Justin Fields, be prepared to pivot. We talked about Daniel Jones. Tyrod Taylor should be under center this week, unless Justin Fields has some, you know, big comeback. But usually when we hear about these concussion-like symptoms, Justin Fields is probably going to be out next week,

would be my guess. And I'm recording this late on Sunday evening. The other big takeaway, we talked about something where, yeah, that wasn't too fun to hear, Theo. But let's talk about a player that we talked about for consecutive weeks on our waiver wire show. make sure you're tuning in to Fantasy Points YouTube, Fantasy Football Daily podcast for our WaverWire show. Theo Greminger, myself, Joe Dolan and Tom Brawley every single week giving you all the WaverWire ads you need to crush your fantasy leagues this season.

Let's talk about some of these rookies, though. The rookie we talked about adding on the waiver wire, we talked about them in the preseason, and we talked about him last week, was Eelich Ayamanner. Eilke Iamaner this week, sort of a big breakout performance for him. Four catches, 56 receiving yards, had a receiving touchdown as well, finished with a team tied for the team lead with six targets. So he outperformed Calvin Ridley today. And this was supposed to be a Calvin Ridley game. Last week, Eilke Iamaner played almost a full snap share.

Last week, Iyamanner had seven targets. This week, another six of them. Very strong role for Eelik Ayamanner. I think he needs to be scooped up in many, many leagues. And then got to talk about Cam Scatabu. Looks like Cam Scatabu has taken over the New York backfield. I would be very, very surprised if Scatabu didn't lead the backfield again next week. Scatibu had 11 carries to Tyrone Tracy's 5.

He had 45 rushing yards to Tracy's 15. Scadabu found the end zone on a run. Scadabu also had two catches. So one thing Tyrone Tracy did better than Scatibu, it needs to be noted is Tracy had five targets and he caught four of them. Tyrone Tracy caught the football well. But when comes to Cam Scadaboo's profile, at the very least, Cam Scadaboo was a capable receiver who will be a opportunistic pass catcher at the next level.

A more bullish scenario would say he's a very good pass catcher based on what he did at Arizona State. Cam Scadaboo, we don't have question marks about his value as a receiver. We think that that can expand. Does he have a chance to take on? even more of this backfield role, a very, very strong performance for Cam Scadaboo. And the other running back drafted inside of round four right next to Cam Scadabu was Basial Tutin.

And this was a coming out party for Tutin as well. We knew that there was a chance for a Tutton breakout game this week with Tank Bigsby being traded to Philadelphia earlier in the week. And Basial Tutin, a really, really strong performance. Travis ETN was awesome last week. And Travis E.TN was very good this week. E.TN had a receiving touchdown. He had two catches.

He had another 71 yards on the ground. ETN back-to-back weeks with a high yards per carry average. But Tutin was even better. Basial Tutin had eight carries for 42 yards. That's 5.3 yards per carry. Really, really explosive as a runner. Continues to look good in that sense. but Tutin had a nasty touchdown catch and run.

Really nasty one, sort of left a defender in cement shoes, froze them up and scooted into the end zone with that elite speed. Two catches for 32 yards and a touchdown. So Eelich Iymanor, Basial Tutin, Cam Scataboo, you have them in redraft, you have them in Dynasty. Those guys are trending up. There's going to be a number of rookies making big impacts in fantasy this season, and we're going to be here for them.
