You know, Heath, I was going to try something a little bit different, but I chickened out. I couldn't start the show with it, but I will do it now just so people can laugh at me. Here we go.

So I was going to start with this. Start it here in walk 10, other bleeped ear off the bank jets off, Fantasy Football Today Express. I was going to start it. That was really fantastic. Well done. Thank you. Proud of you. We have a Germany game in just a little bit in about an hour and a half.

So we'll get these lineups ready here. And we'll start with the weather. So it's bad. It's not great. Not great in Chicago. Windy. Windy. And there's some weather around the country.

But that's the one, the Giants at the Bears. So what are we doing with that game? You know, I was just, when I went to bed last night, I didn't think the forecast looked bad enough to make adjustments. You convinced me right before the show, I probably should. I did. Here's the thing.

It doesn't look great. I'm still a Jackson Darts the start of the week for Jamie. He's still a top seven QB for me. I'm starting Jackson DART. Caleb Williams is still a top 10 quarterback for me. Like DART and maybe Baker Mayfield are the guys you might have with Caleb Williams that you want to start over him. I would start Jared Gough over him as well.

I think we're expecting D'Andre Swift to play. Maybe we get a few more rush attempts. This was already a fantastic matchup for both running backs. I think I've got both D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monongai inside of my top 24 running backs. I think you can start both of those guys in this matchup. Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, both more of flexes. the one guy that I might actually change the way I feel about in terms of starting and would be Darius Slayton because he has had a couple of deep ball misses over the last

couple of weeks and this is a fantastic matchup. Stad of the year, the bear is giving up 2.2 fantasy points per targets to wide receivers. But I think this would impact Slayton more than it would Wondale Robinson. so a little more concerned about him small downgrade for DJ Moore who's a wide receiver three small downgrade for Roma Dunesay who should probably be a wide receiver three but we've got them as a low end wide receiver two okay uh giant secondary definitely healthier they're going to be missing one cornerback today instead of three it seems and uh well i don't I don't know officially who's going to be active but they're going to be healthier all right

Justin Fields is expected to start so you wouldn't you know drop dart or Caleb Williams behind in Fields, would you? I certainly would not. He is currently QB17. I'm starting him in a couple Superflex leagues. I don't want to start him in a one QB league, although I think I'm starting him in 114 team. And for the record,

I mean, it's a one o'clock game, so we'll know. But he has not been announced as the starter. It was a report that he's expected to start. And if you are in a Superflex league, you should pick up Tyrod Taylor because a game against Cleveland, he could easily get benched.

He could easily lose his job, Justin Fields. So just play, you know, beat the waiver wire. AJ Brown and Saquan Barclay are going to play on Monday, so that's excellent news. Aaron Jones is expected to play. Would you start him, because he's been really the main guy when he's been healthy the last two weeks. Would you start him against Baltimore over the Bears guys? I would not.

I think we try to recognize that injuries are not very predictable. But when you're starting a guy who's been questionable all week who has Aaron Jones' injury history, who is also his age, I do think he's a little more likely to leave a game than maybe somebody else. He's a high-end flex for me right in the Alvin-Kamara range. Okay. So that's Aaron Jones. James Cook is going to play. We'll start him.

We already talked about the Andre Swift. Where exactly do you have Swift and Menangai? 21 and 22. Okay. That's kind of a bummer because if it was just one of them, they could easily be a top five guy this week against the giant. And I think one of them could be. Ben Johnson said it's going to be a hot hand approach. We've seen them, I think the last game before Swift took a week off.

It was basically a one drive for this guy, one drive for this guy. I think that's what we see for most of this game. If one of them's a lot better than the other one and it's a close game, then maybe that one guy runs away with it. Yeah, you look at the last two weeks against the Giants. It was McCaffrey and Brian Robinson both did well, Barclay and Biggsby both ran for over 100 yards. But it's, you know, it's still not the best scenario. That's, I think, it for running back. So we'll come back.

We'll take a break and we'll talk about wide receivers and tight ends and some defensive injuries you need to know about after this on FFT Express. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes.

Okay, so we're back here. Let's talk wide receivers. Garrett Wilson is expected to play.

Easy start for you against Cleveland? I wouldn't say easy start, but probable start. In the projections, he's kind of in that wide receiver three or two range, low end wide receiver two. but I don't think you probably have three guys you want to start over them. Okay. Cleveland is 19th against receivers. They're a good defense,

but they are a little vulnerable against receivers. Tedroa McMillan is expected to play as he popped up with a hamstring injury. Wilson or McMillan, who do you like better? You know, I have McMillan ahead in the projections, but I'm probably going to move him behind him, behind Wilson in the rankings this morning.

I don't really like playing guys with hamstring injuries that were questionable. Sunday morning. Yeah, exactly. But he's still a top 24 wide receiver. One running back injury I missed, by the way, was Remandre Stevenson being out. So here's a question in the chat. Ramandre or Travion Henderson or Rashad White, PPR?

I would go Trayvion Henderson over Rashad White. I would also go Trayvon over the Bears. Okay. And Trayvion, that's that Bucs Patriots game, those are two of the top run defenses. They give up a little bit in the passing game, a lot in the passing game, especially the Patriots to running backs, but good run defense is there. Matthew Golden and Dontavian wicks are questionable.

I really don't think this matters that much, I guess, because they're not exactly high target guys. If they're both out, Romeo Dobbs might be a top 15 guy. Harold Fanon Jr. is expected to play, and Cedric Tillman will play. What does that mean for you?

Tillman is a low-end, tight-end one. The Joku is a tied-in two that I think some people are probably flexing him and I'm okay with I am not starting a bearer's wide receiver or a Brown's wide receiver. Brian Thomas Jr. is out. Yeah. Yeah.

We're going to get some Parker Washington questions, Jacoby Myers. How about Parker Washington, Jacoby Myers, and Rashid, because it looks like Tori Horton's out and Cooper Cup is questionable. Yeah. The optimism about Cooper Cup playing this morning, I think Myers and Washington probably have a little higher floor than Shaheed does. I do have them ranked just a little bit higher. Sheid is more

likely to make your day with one play. They're all three wide receiver threes. I've got Washington one spot ahead of Myers, both of them just ahead of Shahid. And a couple of defensive notes for you. Arizona's running back split is unknown. They didn't commit to what it's going to be.

I talked about why it wasn't necessarily what meets the eye. I read a quote from the Arizona Central of why demarcato and Bam Knight had the roles that they had. But we just don't know what it's going to be, but it's worth mentioning, right? Seattle, amazing run defense. They're going to be without linebacker, Ernest Jones,

and defensive tackle, Jaron Reed in this game. Arizona's been very good against the past, but they're going to be without two cornerbacks and linebacker Mac Wilson. So you've got some banged-up defenses there, especially Arizona's in that Arizona-Seattle game. Now let's answer some questions.

I'm sorry, anything else? And just for what it's worth, because I'm sure I'm not the only person that started Zonovan night last week and picked up in Mario DiMercato this week. I have them both as number three running backs. I would start Demercado overnight, but it's a very low degree of confidence. Okay, I want to give one more name here.

Just give me one moment. IDP, do I still have him? Because I picked up Tyrese Knight. Take a look at him. He had, yeah, he had a good game. I think he just had an increased role after Ernest Jones. You're looking at an opportunity for a lot of tackles there in Seattle. Okay, just take a look.

Just do some research there. I'll do it, try to do it for you. I will answer these questions. Tyler Warren or Sam Leporta from the chat. I am going with Sam Leporta. A very high-scoring environment for the Lions against the bad commanders past defense and Warren's facing probably the most difficult matchup for tight ends. Should I start D'Andre Swift or Derek Henry?

Definitely Derek Henry. Washington, Parker, Washington, or Jameson Williams? Good question. I've got Washington higher. Jamo has obviously the big time upside and a good matchup. I would start Washington. Adam would start Jamo. I don't know.

That's tough. I'm actually in between James and Kate Otten in one league, and I can't. I feel like the exact same decision as Parker Washington versus James and Williams. Like one of them, Washington and Otten are probably going to score 10 to 12 fantasy points. James and Williams is either going to score 4 or 20. Starter said Ken Walker or Woody Marks or Tyrone Tracy. So I understand people being concerned about Walker, but I think you have the same reason to be concerned about the other guys. So I'll start Walker.

PPR Swift or Devante Smith. So, DeAndre Smith, or Smith. And I don't know if this is controversial or not, but I do have Smith ahead of A.J. Brown in the rankings this week. And I would start Smith over Swift. Okay. So Tyrese Knight, the guy I talked about, it appears he was benched four weeks ago. But now I think he's going to replace Ernest Jones. But I think it's a little bit too risky for me to recommend him to you. So, you know, sorry about that. Camara or Singletary? Oh boy Sorry by the way that you're making this decision I would go with Camara We had a kind of similar situation with the Giants

Where they were talking about why the split was like it was It's possible Tyrone Tracy just has a two to one advantage in this game Fanon or Theo Johnson And let's try a dad joke on Heath I'll just try the same joke that Dan didn't find funny at all Okay. Heath, if pilgrims were alive today, what would they be known for? If pilgrims were alive today, what would they be known for?

Probably the funny hats. Their age. Hmm. That's a very good one. I like it a lot. It's great. All right, thanks, everybody. We'll see it at 8.30, half hour from now.
