Starting point is 00:00:27 I am so dreading groceries this week. Why? You can skip it. Oh what, just like that? Just like that. How about dinner with my third cousin? Skip it. Prince Fluffy's favorite treats?

Starting point is 00:00:38 Skippable. Midnight snacks? Skip. My neighbor's nightly saxophone practices? Er, nope. You're on your own there. Could have skipped it. Should have skipped it.

Starting point is 00:00:49 Skip to the good part and get groceries, meals, and more delivered right to your door on skip. We've got start sit advice. We've got Dave playing the drums with his pen. And we've also got keeper league stashes right now on fantasy football today express. All right, here we go. Adam and Dave on a Friday afternoon, just kicking it. Dave, it's Friday morning. You knucklehead. It's 1027 AM Eastern time. At what point do you think that this is afternoon? No, I was wrong. I was wrong about this one. But I on the mailbag, I am going to finally win the argument about 1130 AM being the afternoon. So stay tuned for the mailbag. Dave, who are

Starting point is 00:01:34 some players that we should be picking up right now in keeper leagues? So first of all, afternoon, two words, pretty easy to define what each of them means. I think afternoon is pretty self-explanatory and 1130 a.m. Is not afternoon. Okay, I'm going to go through the top four positions in fantasy. I've got players sorted by check for meaning they're probably already on a roster. You're not going to be able to get them, but double check anyway. And then keeper prospects, some of them deeper than others. This is for people in keeper leagues. some of them deeper than others. This is for people in keeper leagues, maybe for dynasty leagues. I think a lot of these people are going to be obviously rostered in dynasty leagues, but it's just to help people out to put players on their roster now so that you have the option to keep them next fall. So that's kind of what we're doing here. You're going to take players that you know you're not going to even think about keeping. You're going to cut them from your roster, and

Starting point is 00:02:24 you're going to pick up these guys. Here we go. So a quarterback, you'll check to see and just make sure that Trevor Lawrence and Dak Prescott are on somebody's team if they're not put them on your team. And then check with JJ McCarthy, see if he's out there. Obviously, he's got a chance to be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings.

Starting point is 00:02:40 That was a pretty good spot for Sam Darnold this year. Running back. Double check, obviously, for JK.K. Dobbins. But Jordan Mason, too. We don't know what's going to happen with Christian McCaffrey. So Jordan Mason's somebody that I wouldn't mind stashing as a possible keeper for next year. The best keeper prospects at running back. Jaylen Wright with the Dolphins. Marshawn Lloyd with the Packers. Wright especially could be the 1B running back with Devon Aitchand. And I love what I saw from Jalen Wright this year. I even got to see him practice. The dude looks the part of being a big-time running back in the NFL. Deeper keeper prospects, A.J. Dillon might resurface. That's not a great one, but Izzy Abanakanda,

Starting point is 00:03:18 Tyler Bade, those would be 3 guys. Desperation Hail Mary-type keepers. Maybe those are the types of players that are out there in Dynasty Leagues. The worst thing you can do, stash them and see what happens. A wide receiver, check for Chris Godwin, check for Brandon Iyuk, check for Chris Olavi. Just make sure that if they're free agents, put them on your bench. If they're not, there's nothing you can do about that. Keeper prospects of wide receiver, Jalen McMillan, obviously. I think there's a path for Jermaine Burton to be the No. 2 wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals next year. That would be a pretty dope spot. Jermaine Burton's out there in a ton of leagues. Would love to have him. And wouldn't mind sitting on Ricky Pearsall, not literally, of course, but figuratively, for the Puss of Fantasy. He's somebody who I think could go and be decent. Deeper Keeper League

Starting point is 00:04:04 prospects. Jordan Winnington with the Rams is probably going to be my favorite. He's somebody who I think could go and be decent. Deeper keeper league prospects. Jordan Winington with the Rams is probably going to be my favorite. He's up there with Adonai Mitchell and Devon Vellay. At tight end, Eric All Jr. He's the tight end Cincinnati towards ACL. We'll see if he can come back. This is to say that there aren't a lot of good tight ends that you could stash away as keeper prospects. But he's the headliner, along with Luke Schoonmaker, Ben Senate and Jutaveon Sanders, some deeper tight ends, Theo Johnson, Jeremy Rucker and Jaheim Bell in New England. I wonder if he makes a second year jump in that Patriots passing game, which is so void of long term talent.

Starting point is 00:04:38 Maybe he gets an opportunity there. That's it. That's the keeper list. Yeah, did you mention the Texans receivers? Cause digs and, and Dell, obviously digs being a free agent Dell with the surgery, something. So the only one that would make sense is Deontay Johnson, but he's already rostered in a bunch of leagues and you can't pick up Texans players now because they've already played.

Starting point is 00:05:01 So you would have needed to have already picked up Deontay Johnson, but I don't, I don't see John Metchi or Hutchinson evolving into big time pass catchers. Cade Stover is kind of interesting at tight end. I don't know if you can pick up players before week 18 for that purpose, but those would be guys to look at.

Visit superstore.ca to get started. Here we go. Start sit for week 17. It begins Debo, McMillan and start one of them. It's McMillan.

Starting point is 00:05:49 And Abdullah or Spears at flex. It would easily be Spears if Tony Pollard didn't play. We just don't know if that's going to be the case. If Pollard plays, I'd go Abdullah. Aaron Rodgers, Justin Herbert or Bryce Young in four points for passing touchdown leagues. It's gross, but Rodgers is probably going to be the pick. If the weather forecast is really, really terrible for Buffalo,

Starting point is 00:06:09 then maybe you pivot to Justin Herbert. But I don't really love any of those three quarterbacks. Herbert's playing on Saturday. That's why you would pivot if the forecast is really, really bad. But it's got to be, I'll say it again, really, really bad. Bucky Irving or AJ Brown in PPR? Bucky Irving or AJ Brown in PPR Bucky. How about Bucky Irving, Chase Brown or AJ Brown? Sorry, so it's an updated question.

Starting point is 00:06:34 Pick two Bucky Irving, Chase Brown, AJ Brown PPR. I'm gonna I'm gonna lean away from AJ Brown just because Kenny Pickett's the quarterback and the matchup is fine. Like I'm not scared of the matchup in this case, but this could be a game where Saquon Barkley really handles the bulk of the workload. Half PPR, Drake London or Jameson Williams? I've got London over Jameson Williams, but I think it's close.

Starting point is 00:06:58 We got London, Joanne Jennings, Devontae Adams and Brian Thomas Jr. We need two of them. It's gonna be the last two. London would be the emergency backup if Devontae Adams and Brian Thomas Jr. We need two of them. It's going to be the last two. London would be the emergency backup if Devontae Adams doesn't play. Remember, we're recording this early Friday. We don't know if Devontae Adams is going to practice on Friday. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Question. I read that one.

Starting point is 00:07:19 Sorry. How about. How about this one? Start three neighbors, Bucky Irving, Brian Robinson, Jalen McMillan, Rashad White. If neighbors does not play, and he's another receiver that didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday, we'll see about Friday, and he's already called himself a game time decision. I think I like the middle three names that you gave. Stay away from Rashad White. Stay away from neighbors if he obviously if he doesn't play.

Starting point is 00:07:47 Give me the names one more time. Yeah, neighbors, Bucky, Brian Robinson Jr, McMillan, Rashad White. OK, so I will sit. I would go with McMillan, neighbors, and Bucky if neighbors is active. So Brian Robinson. Sorry, Dave.

Starting point is 00:08:03 Abdullah or Hall? Brice Hall. Downs, Adam Thielen, Jaylen McMillan, Marvin Harrison Jr., Amir Abdullah, and Tajay Spears pick a wide receiver and a flex. Downs, Thielen, McMillan, Marvin, Abdullah, Spears. So there's going to be a lot of moving parts here. Phelan and McMillan, if everybody's healthy on this list, that would change if Tony Pollard isn't healthy, in which place, in which case I would go with Spears and Phelan. But you're probably starting some combination of Spears, Phelan, McMillan, and then let's just say Pollard's in, Phelan's out.

Starting point is 00:08:42 Who would I start from? Downs, Marvin and Abdullah. Wow. That's gross. I probably would just go with Abdullah to be honest with you. There's one more moving part that you didn't mention and that's what if Joe Flacco is the quarterback? Would that put- Yeah, sure. Then I'd pivot to Downs over Abdullah. Hey, why don't we do just a real quick rundown of the weather situation? I have it open. There's rain likely. It's potential to be over Abdullah. Hey, why don't we do just a real quick rundown of the weather situation. I have it open. There's rain likely it's potential to be heavy rain in Buffalo. So that's Jets bills in Cleveland. That's dolphins Browns and in Washington. That's

Starting point is 00:09:16 Falcons commanders. If you've got a kicker in those games, if you've got a boom bus receiver in those games, if you've got a sus quarterback in those games, I would stay away from those players provided that the forecast stay as ugly as they look. All right. Um, burrow or Daniels, Daniels, assuming the weather is fine and the weather forecast is fine in Washington. I know that burrow plays on Saturday. Yeah, whether it might be rainy test is right. Exactly. Not a rain this week. Well, rain on its own is not not necessarily a bad thing. It's heavy rain that could have packed visibility or just wet

Starting point is 00:09:57 footballs and wind is usually the thing that really scares me the most. And Spears or Garendo? Spears, if Pollard is out, Garendo otherwise. Last one, Nijoku, Earths or Okonkwo? Nijoku if he plays, Okonkwo otherwise. Alright folks, you heard it from Dave on Express. We'll talk to you next time.

Starting point is 00:10:22 Enjoy your weekend and win your leagues. And let's celebrate Monday night and Tuesday morning and all throughout the off season. See you later.
