You know, some trips are just better when you can really unplug.
Spend time with family, see friends, or hit the course with the guys on our yearly golf trip.
This year, me and the boys stayed in a home on Airbnb, which happened to be a guest favorite, and it was right on the course.
We could walk straight to tee off every morning, and it was just a short stroll to the local shops, bars, and restaurants.
Staying in a place on Airbnb gives you plenty of room to spread out, cozy living areas to hang out in, and all the privacy you need.
somewhere like that makes everything feel more like a home that a hotel and you get a real feel for
the neighborhood. I'm already planning on how to go bigger and better next year. Luckily, there's so
many options to choose from on Airbnb. So whether it's family, friends, or golf getaway, my
biggest tip is to check out Airbnb, check out their guest favorites, which are the most loved
homes on Airbnb, and you'll be amazed at what you find. Getting you ready for week 13, the rest of
week 13, right now on FFT Express.
Yes, week 13 has been pretty busy so far.
You've already had four games.
Heath, how are your Thursday and Friday fantasy outcomes?
Doing all right?
You know, you have 25 teams.
Some of them are good, some of them are bad.
Exactly, exactly.
All right, let's get to it here with the weather.
You know, it's my favorite.
I love it when we have bad weather,
and we have bad weather in Cleveland
and maybe in New Jersey,
where the New York teams play.
for Atlanta and the Jets.
What are we doing with those situations?
Well, we didn't want to start Brock Purdy or Shador Sanders anyway.
We now want to start them even less.
We didn't really want to start any Brown's wide receivers.
Joanne Jennings has fallen from a high-end wide receiver for me,
wide receiver three, to a low-end wide receiver three.
I'm not discounting the tight-ins quite as much.
I'm still starting Kittle.
Fanon is still a low-end tight-in one for me.
and McCaffrey's awesome
and Judkins is a borderline start.
Okay, the other game,
according to Kevin Roth of Roto Grinders,
that is in the orange,
it's actually yellow slash orange,
which is not as bad as San Francisco,
Cleveland,
which is just orange,
is Atlanta at the Jets.
And, you know,
passing game is,
right.
Didn't want to start those guys anyway.
No,
but,
you know, look,
let me see how roster John Mechie is
because he was someone
that's coming off two games in a row
with a touchdown.
I think he was the ultimate,
Yeah, I got John Mechie.
Oh, I don't want to start.
Hey, he's 19% rostered.
He's 6% started right now.
And the kickers in these games aren't really great,
but you know, you could get away from the kickers is one thing to do.
Also, just go to rottergrinders.com and look at Kevin Roth's weather report
because you might want to get away from kickers in other games.
It's going to be, it could be a rainy weekend.
You know, it's ugly out.
It's just a bad weather weekend.
And quite honestly, the weather was really adverse.
in that Philadelphia game.
It really threw off to quarterbacks.
Men, that throw to Romo Dunzee in the end zone, for example.
So that game was only listed as a yellow.
Nothing's perfect here, but, you know, weather sucks.
Okay.
Anyway, Aaron Rogers is going to start.
His left tackle was on IR, however.
Not that you're starting Aaron Rogers.
Baker Mayfield is expected to play.
So that's a big one, Heath.
What does this mean for you?
It means I'm more excited about starting a mecca, Buka.
It means I'm more open to starting KDOTN or flexing Tess Johnson.
I don't really want to start Baker.
He's QB 14 for me.
So I'd rather start Jacoby Brissette.
I'd rather start Jackson Dart.
I'd rather start Bo Nix.
Okay.
Other quarterback news, C.J. Stroud is going to start.
But Daniel Jones has this leg injury and he is going to play.
But when you saw the video of him and got the news that he's dealing with a fractured fibula,
did you downgrade Pittman and everyone?
And then you could talk about Tyler Warren,
who's questionable with an illness.
I haven't downgraded the past catchers very much.
They weren't must start this week anyway.
Houston's defense is so good.
I think Jones fell from QB 16 to QB19.
He's a little less excited about the rushing potential for him,
which he's been really spotty so far this year anyway.
But no, Tyler Warren's still a must start tied in.
Michael Pittman's still a high-end wide receiver.
three, Alec Pierce and Josh
Downs still kind of what the heck flexes.
Okay, just getting
some breaking news here coming in.
We'll get to that in a minute here.
By the way, as far as Warren
dealing with his illness, that is a
one o'clock game, so you should be able, you'll
know if he's playing. In fact,
I don't really know that we're waiting
for much. Kincaid would be the one that we're waiting
to see on. That's a four o'clock game.
And let's
take a quick break. We'll talk about the Chargers
running backs. We'll talk about Bucky Irving.
We'll talk about Trey Benson being out
and Zonovan Knight expected to play.
Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas, Jr.
Do we trust these guys when we come back?

Back here, Jackson Darts going to start on Monday night.
And today, O'Maryon Hampton is not going to play.
He has been ruled out.
Kamani Baidal, starter sit against the Raiders.
More of a flex for me than an RB2.
Terrible offensive line situation.
Raiders, the only thing they're good at is stopping the run.
Bidel's been all over the place
in terms of fantasy production
so he's a flex
Okay
So the Buck situation with
Bucky Irving he's going to play
They haven't committed to how many snaps he will get
Earlier in the week you had him very low
How are you feeling about Bucky Irving now?
I still have him very low
I think if like if you have to start
Bucky Irving or Sean Tucker
And maybe even Rashad White
There's upside that one of these guys
Is going to be good
I have no idea which one of these guys is going to be good.
We talked about this earlier in the week last week.
Chris Godwin played 25 snaps in his return.
That's kind of about what I'm expecting for Bucky.
So he is my favorite Tampa Bay running back,
but I just talked about how I don't want to start Kamani Vidal.
I would start him over any Tampa Bay running back.
I would start Chris Rodriguez over any Tampa Bay running back.
We'd just start Zonovan Knight who's going to play.
I would.
Yeah.
Boy, he's been really bad running the football lately.
Okay, so he's going up against Tampa Bay.
Let's discuss them because Marvin Harrison Jr. is going to play today, reportedly.
And what does that mean for him?
What does that mean for Michael Wilson?
So I think all of us probably would have thought when Marvin Harrison,
Jr. comes back, Michael Wilson goes away.
The Cardinals have said that he's earned a bigger role.
I don't think Jacoby Brissette's going to support Marvin Harrison, Jr.,
Michael Wilson, and Trey McBride, even though he's clearly not fantasy poison
some people have called them in the past.
I view Harrison as right around wide receiver 24,
a great wide receiver 3, a low-end wide receiver 2,
and I think I have Wilson one or two spots behind him.
Okay.
Let's see what else we got here.
We've got Chris Olavé with back spasms.
That is a 1 o'clock game, so you know what to do.
I mean, if he's healthy and he's active, you start Chris Olabe.
If he's out, are there any sleepers that you'd consider?
No.
Okay. Brian Thomas Jr. is going to play. What does this mean for your Jaguars?
No, JAG is in my top 30.
Jacoby Myers is my favorite Jacksonville wide receiver. Right now, he's wide receiver 35-ish.
I don't want to start Thomas in his first game back.
Dalton Kincaid is questionable, and both offensive tackles are out for Buffalo, and they're at Pittsburgh, and there might be bad weather.
Would you start Dalton Kincaid if he played?
I mean, I think if your second tight end is playing after him, then sure.
I'm not making an effort to go pick up a darnel, Washington, so I can wait it out for Dalton
Kincaid.
If I have somebody else, I'll just start them early.
Okay.
So if you had Kincaid, let's look at the late window.
If you had Kincaid or Gadsden.
Gadsden.
Concade or the Monday night guys, Theo Johnson, Hunter, Henry.
I would probably start Henry.
I would probably start Concade over Theo.
All right.
And just making sure I didn't miss anything here.
Oh, Chigokonkwo and Eilmatter are both expected to play.
So what does that mean for Chimre D.K.?
I mean, it's just, in my opinion, a negative for anybody you might have wanted to start in Tennessee.
It's possible that I think there's probably five different guys who could lead the Titans in receiving fantasy points today.
And I don't want to start any of them.
All right.
We're going to do a couple minutes of emails.
Parker Washington or Quentin Johnston
Those are definitely not emails
I would go Quentin Johnston
Now I told all the people who emailed us
To go on to YouTube today and make them chat questions
So Cortland Sutton, Tedderow and Macmillan
Wondale Robinson
Wanda Robinson or Devin Neal pick two
It would be Tetaroa McMill and Wondale Robinson for me
Kamani Baidel
Cortland Sutton or Devin Neal pick two
That full PPR, I'm going to go with Neil and Sutton.
Rank, Quinn, so you're starting Devin Neal over Kamani-Bidale?
I, and full PPR only.
He has the biggest difference amongst running backs between full PPR and half or none
because they've been throwing the ball to running backs more since Tyler Shuck took over.
And I think he had six targets last week.
Quentin Johnston, Brian Thomas Jr., Keenan Allen,
in non-PPR, rank them.
In non-PPR, I will go
Quentin Johnston, then Allen, then Thomas.
Rico Dowdell or Kenneth Gainwell, PPR.
Rico.
Michael Wilson, Ricky Pearsall, or Bucky Irving, PPR.
I'll still go with Wilson.
Troy Franklin, Michael Wilson, Chris Rodriguez,
pick two, PPR.
Wilson and Franklin.
Can Kate or Bucket or Bucket?
Brenton Strange, if we find out that Kincaid is playing.
I'd probably just stick with Strange.
ETN or Abuka?
Ooh, that's a very good one.
They're both pretty much must-starts for me now,
but I would slightly favor ETIAN.
Guillotine League, PPR, Marvin Harrison, Jr., Chris Olave,
Stefan Diggs, or Jalen Warren.
It's Olave Fee, well, the guillotine,
I don't know if you want to take the risk of that injury.
Olave has the highest projection.
And I would go with Warren if he's not there.
But Warren's probably safer than Oliva, even if the Lave place.
Warren or Bucky Irving.
We're definitely going to go with Warren there.
Jaden Higgins or John Mechie?
Higgins.
Neil or Mooney?
Neil.
And one more.
Aaron Jones or Troy Franklin?
Franklin.
All right.
