responsibly. Week 10, fantasy football start, sit decisions. Which players should be in your flex,
which players should be on your benches. Theo Greminger and Graham Barfield for Fantasy Football
Daily on the Fantasy Points Podcast Network and Fantasy Points YouTube. Graham, a lot to unpack here.
At first, we've got to talk about some of these players who move teams on the NFL trade deadline.
Now, there's a bunch of players who were not moved. Guys like Breece Hall, guys like David
Anjoku, Jalen Waddle, we saw rumors there. A number of players that we thought maybe could get traded,
stayed with their teams. That happens every single year. But we did have a couple of significant
wide receiver moves. The first one we should unpack, Jacoby Myers gets traded to your Jaguars.
Jacoby Myers has had fantasy success in New England, took his game to another level after he signed
a big free agent deal in Vegas a few years back. He's been a solid player. Now he ends up in a
which seems kind of in flux.
Travis Hunter banged up.
BTJ is banged up and also struggling a little bit this season.
Seems like Jacoby Myers might have a underrated opportunity for the rest of the season on the Jaguars.
Yeah, he'll be a decent wide receiver three, I think.
Brian Thomas has this ankle injury.
He's not practicing.
We're recording this on Wednesday.
So it seems like he's set to at least missed one game, maybe more.
Parker Washington, his job is.
I guess safe in the slot, right?
Liam Cohen came out today and said,
no, like we're going to play Washington inside.
It's a little easier for Myers to learn,
you know,
the perimeter receiver duties in this offense,
which makes sense in Cohen's offense.
They just do a lot in terms of motion,
in terms of just kind of alignment with their slot receivers.
And Washington has obviously been with the team all year.
So, yeah, I think he's a fine wide receiver three.
I moved him up in the rest of season rankings into that like wide receiver three
pile.
But, I mean, let's not forget, man.
I mean, this is a guy who, you know, kind of started okay to start this season,
but he has 124 yards over his last four games.
He's really slowed down.
He's 28 years old.
They might get, you know, BTJ back at full health at some point in the middle,
you know, middle of the back half of this year.
We'll see.
I'm not too too excited about it, to be honest, but, you know, at least the Jags,
they made a move to get a receiver.
I mean, hunters might be out for the year, BTJ,
and then Diombe Brown has this concussion, too.
So most receivers,
after a trade don't typically play that much,
but I could see Myers kind of bucking that trend a little bit
just because they're so dead a receiver.
Yeah, we do worry about the like Amari Cooper outcome
with all these guys.
I don't think that Jacoby Myers is going to be like that.
Of course, Cooper got moved to Buffalo.
We thought maybe a new lease on life
and he was an unrosterable player
after just a few weeks.
The writing was clearly on the wall.
Myers, I think it's a net positive.
He hasn't had a,
double-digit scoring week since week two.
Now he goes to a team where they're just decimated at the wide receiver position.
That might just be a short-term thing.
But again, BTJ, the vibes have not been great, dealing with injuries.
Hunter, I don't think they're going to, like, really risk the long-term outlook with him.
But it seems like he's going to be back after three, four weeks.
Parker Washington, let's unpack that one, though, because a lot of people struggling with
what to do with Parker Washington this week.
Washington has had back-to-back weeks of double-digit targets.
He had the best game of the season last week against Vegas.
Really a fun game for us in fantasy.
It was the Brock Bowers explosion game,
but it was Parker Washington,
who a lot of people picked up in secondary waiver wire runs, Graham.
I picked him up on like a couple of FFPC teams
on waivers that cleared Sunday mornings.
He was sitting out there,
and I plugged him into the lineup,
and I got 17 points out of it,
eight catches for 90 yards, nine targets, gives him 19 targets over the last two weeks.
I think with what Liam Cohen said about him maintaining this slot role,
I think you're going to use him in the wide receiver three, the flex roll this week.
Do you agree on that one?
Are you using Washington kind of confidently this week?
Yeah, I think it's pretty confident.
You know, like we were just talking about Myers might need a little bit of a ramp up here.
And I just think Parker Washington is good, like legitimately good at the game.
You look at his game logs when, you know, he's played 80% or more of the snaps.
He's been pretty productive, like a low-end wide receiver three.
And then, you know, we were just talking through all these injuries.
You know, he could definitely be a wide receiver too again this week just on volume.
So I'm with you.
Path to full-time role for the rest of the season as well.
Myers can play outside along with BTJ.
So there's a chance, you know, like you were saying, if they just are like,
say the Jags lose, you know, three of their next four games, they're out of the
playoff hunt.
They could just bench Travis Hunter for the rest of the season, basically, and just say, screw it.
You know, we're playing for next year, keep them healthy, in which case, you know, Washington would have a full-time role.
Let's go on the flip side here and look at a team coming off of a massive blowout victory.
Seattle was extremely impressive against Washington.
Sam Darnold was lights out in the first half.
There is somewhere in the multiverse gram, the Seattle Seahawks did not make this trade for Rashid Jihad.
and the two of us are talking about Tori Horton
and where we should be ranking him,
how enthusiastically we should be starting him this week.
But instead of using Horton,
it feels like Horton's going to be dead and buried
because Rashid Shahid is now reunited with Clint Kubiak,
the offensive coordinator that he had immense success with in 2024
early in the season in New Orleans.
Graham, we saw four weeks where Rashid Shahid had like over six
PPR points scored in this Kubiak-led offense.
There's been a lot of post-trade quotes by beat reporters,
by some members of the organization about how they're not only viewing
Rashid Shaheed as a really fun, short-term addition,
but a player that they think they could re-sign this offseason
and make their full-time wide receiver two moving forward opposite JSN.
They're excited about this one.
Should fantasy managers be excited about using Rashid Shahid?
Yeah, long term, it's a huge,
huge, huge opportunity for Shaheed, right? JASN is, you know, obviously the entrenched, you know,
wide receiver one. But, I mean, there's certainly some room here for a wide receiver too.
And it's a twofold thing. I've always been really high on Rashid, Shehid's talent. Like,
I just think he's an awesome deep threat, really good against Zone. It's Sam Darnold, man.
Like Sam Darnold is playing out of his freaking mind right now. He is arguably the best deep thrower in the NFL right now.
it's either him or Drake May by completion rate over expectation on throws over 20 or more yards.
Donald actually is number one, Drake May's number two.
At Fantasy Points Data, he is just absolutely crushing.
Intermediate throws obviously have been great, but really the deep ball is a huge part of
Donald's success this year, leading all quarterbacks in yards per game, and now he gets
this premier deep threat.
So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see how much he plays this week.
I'm not sure.
I haven't really made my mind up yet if I'm like writing them up as like a flex player
sitting him this week just because we were talking to me.
It's a receiver on a new team.
He's got to wear him the offense.
It might take a week or two.
But I mean, long term, wheels up.
And honestly, I could see this being a good thing for JSN too.
Like having Shahid and his speed kind of be in the back of the defense's minds,
kind of maybe they play a little more too high in which case, you know,
JSN gets open underneath just even easier.
Obviously, he has been running some just demon routes this year.
just making dudes look absolutely silly.
So him having a legitimate running mate is awesome.
You know, Cooper Cup is dust,
but they certainly have a pretty sick trio here of receivers
between, you know, JSN is the Alpha.
Shehede is like a really great deep threat.
And I've always liked Tori Horton.
I liked him coming out of college.
He's had a couple of nice spiked weeks,
played great with Darnold last Sunday night against the commander.
So, yeah, this is just like wheels up for Darnold, man.
I've been writing him up as a streamer every single week,
but I think he's like top 12, top 15 weekly consideration at this point.
Yeah, Darnold has been cooking.
Scott Barrett also made the reference to the deep ball success rate.
We recorded School of Scott last night.
Like Darnold, this could be a better season for him than what we saw last year in Minnesota
when it's sort of all set and done.
Darnold is locked in and it was the four passing touchdowns this week.
started the game off like 16 for 16.
And they took their foot off the gas in the second half.
This could have been a massive scoring number for Sam Darnold.
So I'm sort of into it when it comes to Darnold.
I think he's like a borderline top 12 quarterback.
The only problem with him is he offers us nothing in terms of the rushing upside.
But it doesn't really matter when he's effectively throwing so many touchdown passes.
is he has two, four touchdown pass games in his last four games played.
Both of those games were like huge top five type scoring weeks.
For Rashid Shaheed, I might kind of just throw him in a flex or a wide receiver three
spot.
I just think he's so good.
The one issue that this trade presents to Shaheed managers is Rashid Shahid Shahid was
15th among all wide receivers and targets on the year.
That's going to dip down.
considerably. But I do think that the net positive is it's the efficiency. And then when we look at the
quality of the quarterback play, it's not even close. You're getting arguably a top 10 quarterback when we
look at it strictly from a passing perspective to a guy that might be the very worst passing quarterback,
at least a bottom three guy in Tyler Shuck. So I'm super thrilled about this one. I agree with you.
I think everything being equal, if your team is strong, keep Rashid She's.
on the bench, but I do think they're going to take a couple of yolo balls downfield for him
and sort of unlock their new weapon. Arizona's offense has been functional the last couple of weeks.
So this is a game which actually could be fantasy friendly, the Seattle Arizona game.
And we're going to talk about Jacoby Brissette after the, after the, the, the, the Kyler Murray
benching announcement, which was a little bit shocking to some, but Brissette really earned that job.
Let's unpack whether or not he should be in our starting lineups right after this.
All right, welcome back.

Our rankings have been fantastic.
Big shout out to Chris Weck behind the scenes,
dropping our weekly rankings.
They're going to really help you out as a redraft manager,
Dynasty, and also with your DFS lineups.
Graham, let's talk about Jacoby Brissette.
I mean, this is one, can we call him the RICO Dowdell
of quarterbacks this year?
gets his foot in the door, and we've seen Jacoby Brissette proceed to have three top 12 finishes at the, three top 12 weekly finishes at the QB position.
This past week in Dallas on Monday night football, Brissette goes in there, gets the big win, has two passing touchdowns, also rushes for a touchdown.
Those three top 12 finishes are significant.
Kyler Murray in five starts has zero.
So Brissette badly outplayed him this year.
What's your enthusiasm level?
That Seattle defense has been pretty solid this year.
Are we using Brissette this week?
We were riding the hot hand.
Yeah, I wrote him up as one of the best streamers on last week's slate.
It was between him and Darnold and both absolutely crushed.
Darnold, obviously, to more, a little higher of a degree.
But, dude, I mean, you look at the three games he started.
He's averaging 286 passing yards per game that would lead all quarterback.
Stafford is at 268.
he's currently QB1.
He's just on a heater.
Like this Cardinals' offense, I think we've just seen, you know, what happens when
they have a quarterback who actually just runs the passing offense within timing and rhythm.
I mean, Kyler, for, you know, his entire seven-year career, he's just kind of been an improviser.
You know, if the first read isn't there, he's looking to improvise and move, you know, with his
legs.
And Brissette is the complete opposite.
He's actually just trying to hit the open receiver within time and rhythm.
You know, he missed a couple of throws to Harrison last.
week, but it kind of just didn't really matter.
Like, he was, you know, otherwise he was pretty awesome.
Yeah, you mentioned it.
This Seattle offense, excuse me, Seattle defense has been really good,
especially over the last like six weeks.
McDonald has this unit playing really strong.
But, you know, between Seattle's offense, kind of pushing the scoring pace,
Brissette's own strong play, I still think he's a back-end QB-1 this week.
We don't have, you know, Mahomes.
We don't have Flacco, who's just been on fire.
We don't have DAC this week.
So you might be looking for a decent streamer.
This week, I've gone back and forth.
I think I prefer Brissette over Marcus Mariotta just by a little bit.
They're very, very close in our projections.
I'm just giving the nod to the hotter quarterback, but, you know,
Mario daisy has been pretty good too.
This is a pretty wide open quarterback slate.
We've got some really good plays up at the top.
And then from my QB8 to QB16, it's really, really close.
And I think Brissette is at the top of that.
that like kind of, you know, back end QV1 pile.
Yeah, I think I'm with you.
When it comes to Marcus Marriota,
we did see the success in weeks three and week four.
Not so much after that.
The Kansas City game was a little bit rough.
He had the two picks.
And Brissette, everything's just sort of clicking.
I think those are two offenses that are heading in opposite directions of one another.
The vibes are just really poor with Washington.
I do think with Marietta in a game like this against Detroit,
you're going to get the game flow where Washington is probably going to be trailing.
Graham, this is also a big revenge game for the lions.
And we've got the lions coming off of a loss to Minnesota.
So they get a chance to play the team that beat them in the NFC playoffs last year that ended like,
they were a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
And Washington kind of woodshed them in that game.
Now instead of facing Jaden Daniels,
they get to tee off on Marcus Marietta.
I think that this is a garbage time game for Marietta.
I think the second half he's going to accumulate some points.
But I am much more confident in Brissette, much more confident in Brissette being able to win the game.
I would definitely go Brissette.
But I do think if you're in quarterback trouble, Marcus Marriota, not the worst option for you this week for sure.
Let's pivot over to the running back position.
Not a whole lot of running backs to talk about this week.
One player that we've got to check in on, Trayvion Henderson.
Henderson, we saw some really positive signs last week, but again, he doesn't get the touchdown.
I think if we would have just seen the touchdown go to Trayvion Henderson, this could be a whole
different conversation.
We probably wouldn't even be talking about him, Graham, but Ramondre Stevenson, again,
is not practicing.
So when it comes down to it, where are we at for Trayvion Henderson, our enthusiasm levels for
using him this week?
I'm at like a nine out of ten.
So yeah, you mentioned Jennings got the goal line carry, but if you just look at the snaps inside the 20, Henderson had nine to Jennings is three. So it was really just like, it was that one drive where Jennings just happened to be on the field and he got the goal line carry. It's super tilting, man. I played McCaffrey, Menungi and Henderson on every DFS team. I had the same combination. I had Christian McCaffrey with Monongai. And then my big mistake was I played Jamar Chase instead of T. Higgins. I had a couple of Joe Flack on lineups too. I had a Mac Jones, Christian.
McAfee. Listen, this, Scott Barrett, shout
it to our DFS people. DFS, it's not
so hard, guys. Let's just go ahead and
pick some winners every single week. Make sure you're checking it out.
But yeah, I feel your pain. It's sort of
like last week you had to nail everything.
Menangai, such good chalk.
Yeah, amazing chalk. Henderson was like
30 to 35%. He was
pretty chalky too, and he would have been
amazing chalk had he scored that touchdown.
The only problem I see this week,
man, is this matchup? Like Tampa Bay is playing
great run defense. They're bottom five.
in every category. 70 yards per game allowed, just 3.4 yards per carry allowed.
But, yeah, I mean, Henderson, the passing down roll, the red zone roll all looked really good.
Stevenson is not practicing today on Wednesday.
So even if he's able to like kind of get a limited practice and he might be very limited in the game.
Really close game, man.
Two and a half is the spread in favor of the Bucks.
So this should be a really fun Patriots Bucks game.
Kind of has some obvious shootout appeal, especially.
you know, with Baker and May both playing so well.
Yeah, no, I'm into it for sure.
I think Trayvion Henderson, this could be the week where last week everybody wanted to use him.
They thought we'd get the big spike week.
And then it's actually going to come this week.
He looks really good.
Like when he gets the football on hands, he looks completely dangerous.
Looks like a guy that was drafted very, very early.
I think that the Trayvion Henderson storyline has not fully been written.
This could be the huge.
breakout game. So shout out to the DFS marketplace. Use them again this week. You know, let's
keep riding it. Let's talk about another running back. If Aaron Jones were to sit,
are we confidently using Jordan Mason this week? It's been sort of a big downhill climb here for
Jordan Mason. I was feeling good about maybe a month and a half ago, Graham, but now it's
looking like it's clearly Aaron Jones. But Aaron Jones, again, dealing with a shoulder injury,
he might not go. So this question is sort of a string bet.
If Aaron Jones sits, are you using Jordan Mason?
Not confidently.
You know, you might be in a pinch with, you know, four teams on by.
But, you know, this is going to be a split still.
I mean, Xavier, you know, Xavier Scott is going to play in the passing game for sure.
And the problem is, like, Lamar in this Ravens offense has been arguably the most efficient
offense in the league when Lamar plays.
I mean, they're just absolutely.
tattooing teams and their four and a half point road road favorites here,
which is a pretty big spread given how bad Baltimore has been this season.
So I'd be pretty afraid to play Mason just because he has no passing down.
And really his only like pathway to scoring upside is obviously on the ground
and getting those goal line carries.
Ravens have been okay against the run this year.
They haven't been good.
They haven't been bad.
But yeah, I'm like, I'm pretty much out on Jordan Mason.
I think. Yeah, the vibes are pretty terrible. I will say that the, the game kind of feels like it's going to be a shootout. It's two teams that really need the win here. Minnesota improved a four and four. Baltimore gets four out of their next six against AFC North competition, but they also have Minnesota and the New York Jets, two games, which I believe that they internally think that they kind of have to win to keep the foot on the gas in this race for the AFC playoff. So,
I don't know. I feel like I talked about this with Scott Barrett.
From a DFS perspective, this would be a game that I would maybe chase with like Lamar Jackson
and maybe as somebody from Minnesota on the opposite side. I don't know. I think this could be Jordan
Mason fighting the end zone. But again, I think this is going to be a short-lived one. And on the
flip side, if Aaron Jones does play, is he going to find our lineups, Graham? Yeah, low-end flex.
You look at their three games that Mason and Jones have played together. He's,
have this better role by expected fantasy points.
And that's simply just because he's, you know,
have the passing down role.
He's also kind of like, you know, out carried Mason,
I think in his last two games as well.
So, yeah, I mean, he would just be a low end flex in PPR leagues, I think.
Yeah, I'm sort of with you there.
The last running back situation that I want to pick your brain on,
the San Francisco 49ers went into MetLife,
really controlled the game, ended up winning 30.
24 24, but it wasn't this close.
We had the late Jackson Dart touchdown.
When it comes down to it, though,
I thought we would maybe be talking about Tyrone Tracy
and should we start him this week?
It was anything but confident in terms of the usage.
Devin Singletary outproduced Tyrone Tracy in terms of fantasy points.
He more than doubled him up in terms of rushing yardage,
had 43 rushing yards to Tyrone Tracy's 18,
and he had two catches to Tyrone Tracy's 18.
Tracy's three. The only thing that Tyrone Tracy had more of was targets. He had four to Devin
Singletary's two. Is there going to be a winner here, Graham, or is this going to be an ugly split
for the rest of the season? Very tilting to managers who were confidently using Tyrone Tracy last week.
Yeah, very tilting. I was just wrong about Tracy last week. I didn't expect Devon Singletary to play
this much, especially like, you know, in the run game. This is looking like a compartmentalized split.
that Tracy, like you mentioned, got the passing down work, ran 18 routes to Singletary's 14,
but Singletary was their lead ball carrier.
Just disgusting.
Like, this is like the worst type of split.
This is like the split that we had with the Steelers for all those years with Najee and Jalen Warren.
It was just like both guys are not usable.
And it sucks.
Like the Bears have been one of the worst run defenses in the league.
Yeah, I would love to play one of these guys this week just because this matchup is so strong.
This game has clear shootout potential.
it's just yeah Tracy clearly not going to be anywhere close to you know a bell cow unless you know
singletary were to miss time this year you know I might be on the and this one might look really
stupid when we record again next week but I might be on the devon singletary is going to be a more
valuable player to roster than tyrone Tracy yeah I think just sort of the writings on the wall here
that you had some time to think about it cam scataboo goes down with the season ending injury and instead
of going with the player that was the starter to start out the year in Tracy, they used a lot of
Singletary. We also factor in the history that Brian Daibble has with Devin Singleton, Devon Singletary,
the whole like, he calls the guy Motor, they had the Buffalo connection, brought him over to New York,
kind of almost comically brought him over as the Saquan Barclay replacement when Barclay left
for Philly. I think this might be Singletary ramping up this week. And like you said, this is a,
interesting matchup. I had Devin Singletary as a top 10 waiver wire ad this week. I think you add
him cheap and there's a chance that after this week he's in like that high end running back three
range. Also factor in Tyrone Tracy missed some time earlier this year with an injury. How banged up
could he still be? Graham just doesn't look like the same explosive player that we saw last year
when it comes to Tracy. So I'm on the Singletary side. We will see which way it shakes out.
had a huge season-ending injury to Tucker Kraft.
We're going to talk about how Green Bay responds
and which Packers you should be using
in your fantasy lineups right after this.
It's week three of Canadian tires early Black Friday sales.
These prices won't go lower this year.
Maybe too long.
Freezing.
Save up to 50% November 20th to 27th.
Conditions apply, details online.
All right, welcome back.
Let's talk about it.
Tucker Kraft, I mean, this one really, really stings.
Tucker Kraft won.
The guy was like an edge for you in fantasy.
You drafted him off as like the tight end 10 in ADP
and you were getting close to the tight end one overall level production.
Goes down with an injury.
Tucker craft teams are scrambling now.
How do the packer respond?
Are there players who are going to gain fantasy value here
or is this a situation where we're going to downgrade the entire offense
break it down for us.
Well, these Packers receivers have been extremely difficult to kind of predict on a weekly
basis.
I mean, I write this weekly start sit article at Fantasy Points.
And for the last three years, writing up Packers receivers is just, it's been really
freaking hard, man.
We now get this like kind of condensed target, you know, distribution with Kraftout,
Jane Reed out, Matthew Golden, kind of falling by the wayside a little bit.
I like Romeo Dobbs the best rest of season and for this week.
He's earned at least 27% of the Packers targets in three out of his last four games.
That's quietly really good, like low-end wide receiver one type of target, you know,
Sharon.
Eagles have not been that difficult for opposing outside wide receivers, giving up the
seventh most yards per game, 15th and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to
perimeter receivers.
I think we're going to be talking about Luke Musgrave is kind of
a low-end streamer a few weeks this year, but this is not the spot. Eagles are amazing against
tight ends. Jihad Campbell is just an eraser in the middle of field. Zach Bonn as well, obviously.
Eagles are allowing just 5.1 yards per target to tight ends. That's the fewest in the NFL.
But in like tight-in premium leagues or if you're just like absolutely desperate in the deep league,
I think Musgrave is passable just because Jordan Love can throw two, three touchdowns and one of them can get the Musgrave.
Dobbs probably gets the biggest upgrade.
You can upgrade Christian Watson slightly too,
but he's still just their deep threat.
And this week specifically,
Eagles have not really given up much deep at all.
I think the third or fourth lowest completion rate allowed to deep target on deep targets.
So, yeah,
I think Dobbs gets the biggest upgrade.
You could probably down to your love a little bit, don't you think?
Yeah, I think so.
I think Kraft was super important to them.
Yeah.
It was the efficiency that he had.
It was like the George Kettle corollary,
where it wasn't like a target vacuum,
but he was so efficient with those targets.
The yak ability,
that's the one thing where I think Musgrave
could offer a little bit in terms of the yak department,
very athletic player.
But again, he's probably going to be like 65%,
70% of what we got from Kraft,
which the margins are just so tight at the tight end position.
If you go from being like a 16 point per game guy
down to like a nine point per game guy,
really, really a tough one there.
So I do think,
I'm with you.
I, like, rest of season, I have loved QB 13 or 14.
He's now like QB 17.
What do you think about that?
I think it's about right.
I think that this offense is going to probably get back to a little bit closer to what
they were last year.
Yeah.
To a fault, Josh Jacobs has dealt with some injuries this year.
They do have a little bit more faith, it seems, in using a running back to.
Emmanuel Wilson's had a couple of decent moments.
But I think they're going to lean into their running game.
I'll say that the X factor, the X factor is Jaden Reed.
Jaden Reed might come back to a larger role than he would have come back to had Kraft stayed healthy.
Reed can be sort of a manufactured touch guy, a slot guy, sort of a yak guy.
Reed can be used in a number of ways and you can use Reed on some manufactured rush attempts,
but there is a little bit of a lack of clarity as to when we actually get Jaden Reed back.
So there's a lot to unpack here.
Again, I'm always going to be a sucker for Christian Watson.
Anybody who watched us last week?
I was wrong.
I said he'd have five catches, 125 and a touchdown.
I was off considerably on that one.
He had two catches for 58 yards.
But this week, we've got to think that the Philadelphia Eagles are going to put the pressure on them.
The game's in Green Bay.
So I like your Romeo Dubs call, but I do think if you want to use a high upside wide receiver three,
a high upside flex play with a chance that it blows up in your feet.
face, it's Christian Watson, because I do think they're going to have to use him over the top.
You also have Matthew Golden now dealing with, I believe, a shoulder injury.
So it's just they're running out of bodies here that can effectively put up fantasy numbers.
I think it's going to consolidate a little bit.
Josh Jacobs managers, you're going to get all the volume you can handle, but it might be like a winter.
Brett Whitefield used this term for Christian McCaffrey.
And I think it's, you know, it was actually from the chat, but Brett co-signed it.
The winter is coming for these backs to take on this much volume week in, week out.
So Josh Jacobs managers enjoy it.
But maybe roster Emmanuel Wilson as a handcuff rest of the season as well in case we miss a game here.
Let's keep the conversation going.
Tess Johnson, we've had four straight weeks where he scored like 9.5 points or more.
Tess has been trending up.
The seventh round, rook pick out of Oregon, really has been impressive.
is there a chance that TES comes out of the buy week
and is even more productive than we've seen the last few weeks?
I think so, dude.
I mean, he's been really good, like you said, consistent in terms of his production.
And then the underlying usage is kind of just trended up as well.
I got it 25% of the targets in the Bucks last game before they're by.
Really strong.
Obviously, Egbuka is going to be the alpha wide receiver one.
But, I mean, Chris Godwin's season looks pretty much lost at this point.
He's practicing to open this week.
And it's like, Kate Otten's never really been a target earner.
So we really just have, you know, one guy in Igbuka who earns targets and
Tess is, you know, going to find himself in a full-time role.
And like we were just talking about Trevion Anderson.
I mean, this game has huge shootout potential.
So, yeah, I'm grading Johnson as like a wide receiver three this week, really good flex play.
And then rest of season, I've just kept moving them up.
He's now in like the wide receiver 40s overall.
I could certainly see a case for him having like a Jalen McMillen type, you know,
rookie season like last year where McMillan did nothing in the first half of the year.
But then just because they had so many injuries and they needed him, he came on strong.
I could see something similar for TES where he's like, you know, low end wide receiver two,
maybe high end wide receiver three by week 14 or 15.
Yeah.
And the targets are trending up with TES.
15 targets in week seven and weeks eight combined.
And again, 9.3 points or more in four straight weeks.
and we look at this schedule for Tampa Bay, New England in Tampa, Buffalo on the road in
week 11, the Rams in week 12, and then a home game against Jacoby Brissette and the Arizona
Cardinals in week 13. There's going to be some opportunities for Tess Johnson. I think that
Emeka is going to get it going again, but I'm very confident about this one that Tess Johnson
could put up wide receiver three numbers for the rest of the season with a chance for some spike
weeks. I had the guys from the FF Dynasty show, really, really sharp show, if you're not
listening to it for Dynasty. Casey Myers, the main host over there, he came on my guest as Dynasty
Life, and we re-ranked the rookie class. And Tess Johnson, a seventh round pick, was easily
inside of the second round, whereas we were getting him in like the fifth round in Dynasty
rookie drafts because of the draft capital. This is a franchise that continually identifies
his skill position talent, and they're rarely wrong in Tampa.
So Tess Johnson, second half of the year, I think he's trending up.
How about Wondale Robinson?
We mentioned that the Giants game could be one that's very fantasy friendly.
Does that include a big game from Wondell?
Yeah, love Wondale this week.
It's just an amazing matchup for him.
You know, he's been fine.
We talked about him a couple weeks ago as kind of maybe a buy.
Wired Receiver 22 and PPR points per game over the last five weeks without Malik
neighbors. He's, you know, kind of had more upside because Jackson Dart is just him. At worst,
Robinson is a high-end flex. And I think you can squint and see some wide receiver two upside,
especially this week. I mean, the Bears are the second worst defense in the NFL against slot
receivers giving up the second most fantasy points per game. So I think you're just locking and
loading Robinson into your lineups this week. And I got to say, man, this is just an unbelievable week
for running back again.
Like we've got, I think I added it up, like 20 of the top 35 guys in our projections
in terms of the flex rankings are running backs.
So receiver is just like you got the clear top, but then it's just really flat after
that.
I would push Robinson into like, you know, high end wide receiver two category this week, I think.
Yeah, I think Robinson's really like locked in rest of season.
And Graham, I think the fact that we're talking about a running back split in New York
also lends itself.
to Wondell Robinson is sort of the focal point of the offensive game plan week in, week out,
where there's going to be guys like Theo Johnson, maybe a running back, maybe a Darius,
Slaten having like decent weeks here and there.
But Robinson, I think, could be a wide receiver too for the rest of the season.
Let's pivot back to the trade fallout.
Let's talk about one player in particular.
We talked about Rashid Shaheed, or I mentioned that he's 15th overall in targets at
the wide receiver position. Chris Olavé is number two overall.
Joanne Johnson is still like top six in targets at the tight end position.
Are we going to bump Joon Johnson up now that Rashid Shaheed is in Seattle?
Johnson plays against Carolina this week.
Again, it's sort of a boring play.
Devon Vele is going to step in as the new wide receiver two.
Your thoughts on Joanne, though, he had a red-hot start to the season.
season Graham. Yeah, I think if you're like loaded at running back and receiver, you got a good
quarterback that maybe you're like screwed at tight end. You've been like streaming guys every single
week. I would trade for Joanne Johnson if your trade deadline hasn't passed yet. I bumped him up
to tight in 10 in our rest of season rankings. The underlying usage has been great all year. He's
tied in five by route share at 77 percent. Only Tyler Warren, Dallas Goddard, Kyle Pitts, and Tray
McBride are running more routes on their team's past plays. And then yeah, he kind of had this
midseason lull where he just fell out of the passing offense because alave and shehede were just
bawling out but that's kind of changed the last three games has been at least 16 percent of the team's
targets chris elave was already you know leading the league or among the league leaders and
targets per game so really relatively johnson stands to benefit the most here and this is an
awesome matchup this week carolina is giving up the second most yards per target seventh most yards per game
to opposing tight ends so yeah i'm i'm comfortably starting johnson as like a borderline top five
this week, man.
Like, tight end is horrible this week.
We've got some horses in some really bad spots.
Tyler Warren, you know, gets a tough matchup against the Falcons.
We're, you know, we're missing some guys that we've been playing every single week.
Doing Ferguson and Kelsey.
So, yeah, this is, this is the week for Johnson, man.
I'm firing him up.
Yeah, it's one of those weeks where it's almost worse than Bymageddon.
Bymageddon, we had six teams on by.
But this week, you have three offenses that are like so impactful.
of fantasy football with Dallas on a by with the Kansas City Chiefs and then the Cincinnati
Bengals. I mean, what are we going to do without Joe Flacco in our starting lineups in fantasy?
We're at that point in the season. Graham, you mentioned your rest of season rankings.
This is a huge tool that you can utilize with a fantasy point subscription. I know that listeners of
this show have heard Graham and I and also Ryan Heath and I talk about our rest of season rankings.
but Graham, this is a great tool
if you're looking to make that last minute
not so much time left before the playoffs,
those like last ditch trades to improve your roster
or if you just have a really strong outlook
on how these guys are trending,
you're updating that very regularly.
Tell everybody about it.
Yeah, you can go onto the home menu right now,
click projections and rankings
and under NFL rankings, we have our rest of season.
I update those.
I do the first sweep,
you know, Tuesday morning, Tuesday afternoon,
and then I update them throughout the week for injuries
and just kind of things I'm seeing as researching.
But yeah, it's been a great tool for me, too,
as I'm setting like waiver wires.
And, you know, I'm very much like skin in the game kind of guy.
Like I want to have, you know, money on the line, skin in the game,
and actually think through, like, who do I actually want for the rest of the season?
Because the top 50 in the terms of the flex rankings is pretty straightforward.
But then after that, you know, you kind of actually have to start making some decisions.
and yeah, I love putting this together every single week.
Tight end is kind of been, you know,
probably one of the biggest positions that change every single week.
Rest of season, I did just bump Joanne Johnson ahead of like Harold Fanon,
and Travis Kelsey, Kyle Pitts, like those back in tight end ones.
Who would you rather have rest of season?
Fanon.
I know you're a big fanning guy, Fanon or Johnson?
Because that's when I stared at for a while yesterday.
I'm probably going Fanon because I think he's got a little bit more upside.
But again, volume is king.
Joanne Johnson. Both have terrible quarterbacks.
And Johnson does play a little more.
But yeah. Absolutely. I'll go with the young guy, a little bit more unknown upside.
Do they try to ramp up the youth? I'll give one little taste of your rest of season rankings.
You got to subscribe to fantasy points if you want to get them every single week.
But one player who's now an RB1 for the rest of the season, we did it, Rico Dattle people.
Graham has Rico Dattle as an RB1 for the rest of the season.
