Starting point is 00:01:21 BetMGM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming Ontario. And good morning, everyone. Let's get those lineups set for Fantasy Week 6. Welcome to FFT Express. All right, we've got a game coming up in about an hour and a half. So we're going to give you the news that you need to know. And there's a lot today. And it starts with the weather heath. We've got bad weather in Carolina, right?

Starting point is 00:01:47 You said? And bad weather in Baltimore, not as bad, I guess, as Carolina. The Carolina one's a little surprising, I guess. I knew about the Baltimore one. Well, I think there's a nor'easter off the coast of Carolina. And just like we always tell people, go check and see what Kevin Roth says because he's the weatherman. We're not. But it does sound like they've got winds of 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 35.

Starting point is 00:02:15 Not as much rain there. There's going to be rain in Baltimore, but the winds are 15 with gusts up to 30. So it's, you probably don't want to start a kicker. in Carolina. You probably don't want to start a kicker in Baltimore. Oh, man, that's the number one kicker. That's Brandon Aubrey we're talking about here. That's tough.

Starting point is 00:02:36 He's got such a leg. I mean, I'm not, listen, I say that if I have Brandon Aubrey on my team, I'm not going to make another roster move for a kicker. I love DAC this week. I mean, this is really tough. This might be one where we wait until closer to game time. I mean, you know, and I'm not saying, Like, maybe you want to start Bo Nix and Justin Fields over DAC at Stafford and all that.

Starting point is 00:03:01 Right. And, you know, you tell me. Yeah, it's not quite as big of a downgrade for Stafford. It is for DAC. And I think we had as a group Stafford ahead of DAC at the beginning of the week. So I would feel better about starting Stafford than DAC. But like another thing we're getting ready to talk about, Justin Herbert was between those guys. And he may have gotten a little bit worse also.

Starting point is 00:03:24 he may have he is quentin johnson looks like he's not going to play but uh but well we'll get to that in a minute but what about the cardinals let's start i want to go to the cardinals because kailer murray is likely out today yeah and it's like jacobby percette you obviously don't want to start but we didn't want to start kail mary anyway keller murray's passing efficiency this year has been pretty awful i'm not i'm not going to go away from tray mcbride i think it's probably actually a small boost to Michael Carter. And it makes me want to start Marvin Harrison Jr. quite a bit less.

Starting point is 00:04:00 Right. Marvin Harrison Jr. would be the big one there. So, you know, George Pickens, Marvin Harrison, Jr. Are these guys going to be in your top 24? George Pickens will stay in my top 24. Marvin Harrison, Jr. will not. Another thing I wanted to mention about Baltimore,

Starting point is 00:04:16 if you're starting, if you're thinking about starting Bryce Young, not only are they going to be dealing with, I mean, sorry, Matthew Stafford. It's not only going to be dealing with bad weather, but also Baltimore getting two defensive backs back, Marlon Humphrey, their corner, slot corner, and Kyle Hamilton, their safety. I still would really like Matthew Stafford

Starting point is 00:04:36 if the weather were good, but... Right. Again, I don't think the weather in Baltimore is not one that would generally cause me to change my projections. All right. I mean, it's a yellow orange, so it's right on the line, and that's why we're going to wait till closer to kickoff.

Starting point is 00:04:52 But the win in Carolina is more of a concern than it is in Baltimore. Okay. So Jamar Chase expected to play. He's got an illness. The commander's situation is a rough one here. Terry McLaurin is out. Noah Brown is out. Another wide receiver.

Starting point is 00:05:08 And then Debo, Samuel, is questionable. And we don't know if he's going to play. And this is a Monday game. So what are we doing here? Go see if Fluke McAfrie is available if you want to wait for Debo. That's, I think, probably the, it's like it's not something you're going to feel good about. You could also see if, who's the other game on Monday? Because there's two of them this week, right?

Starting point is 00:05:32 Buffalo, Atlanta. Buffalo, so you could go see if Ray Ray McLeod is available because Darnel Moody is going to be out for the Falcons. Right. You know, if you have to make a decision, McCaffrey's 30% rostered and, you know, if you have just a flex spot, you can look at Zach Earth's too. but are you like going to try to get Debo in your lineup right now or are you going to play it safe? I'm going to try to get Debo in my lineup

Starting point is 00:05:57 because he's a top 12 wide receiver. Yeah. And he's facing the bears. And so I really like to wait it out. And wide receiver is terrible. And then there's the Jane Daniels thing too. I mean, is Jane Daniels a top 10, top 12 quarterback?

Starting point is 00:06:13 So Jaden Daniels is in my projections right now, QB 14 and my rankings QB 11 I I think it's really close between him and Justin Fields and I have more confidence in Jaden Daniels

Starting point is 00:06:34 not doing something awful so I've got Daniels to one spot higher Yeah this is a tough week right now this is the first week we've had a ton of these types of injuries and then two you know two things on Monday night because Kincaid is also questionable So we're going to talk about more when we come back on Fantasy Football Today Express. I'm Chris Hadfield.

Just solutions-focused conversations on the challenges we must overcome and the possibilities that lie ahead. This is on energy. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 00:07:22 All right. So Quentin Johnston, as Heath mentioned earlier, Quentin Johnston trending toward missing today's game. What does this mean for the Chargers passing game? Well, I think we were kind of having the debate about whether you could start two Chargers-wide receivers or three Chargers-wide receivers this week. And now we know, or we think, it's two.

Starting point is 00:07:41 It shouldn't have much concern about starting Ladd-McConkey as a top 24 wide receiver, maybe top 20. And Keenan Allen, for me, was already a must start and remains a must start. Justin Herbert? A slight downgrade, but I'm still going to have him as a top eight guy. I mean, it's nice when you are missing your most productive wide receiver, and you look and you still have Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey. Zay Flowers is expected to play.

Starting point is 00:08:09 Jalen Coker is out. He will not make it back this week. Calvin Austin is out for Pittsburgh. Joanne Jennings is questionable. So this is obviously a big one here. We've gotten a lot of Kendrick-Born questions. And what do you think? We are currently projecting Jennings, but it's a bit of a guess.

Starting point is 00:08:25 Is that a three o'clock game? Yeah, it's at 4 o'clock. 4 o'clock. It's weird timing. Jennings would be right around wide receiver 30 for me, assuming he plays, which right now we do have him projected to play. It's going to knock Bourne back to the back-in. end of the top 48.

Starting point is 00:08:43 If Jennings is scratched, if he's not playing, then I just put Bourne right around where I have Jennings, which is low-end wide receiver three. Darnell Mooney is out. Dalton Kincaid is questionable. What do we think about Kincaid? I mean, I think I saw somebody in one of my leagues pick up Dawson Knox. That's probably the easiest thing to do is then you can just wait it out.

Starting point is 00:09:06 If you want to just take a zero at tight end, I've heard people are doing that type of thing now. but there's probably not someone I'm going to pick up off of waivers and just start them over adult decade on Sunday he's been so good yeah I mean if you have

Starting point is 00:09:22 if you want to wait until Monday you can look at either of the bear's tight ends right because Colson Loveland is questionable yeah yeah I don't know if he's bad you think he's back we think he's right we're ranking okay and if he's out then you could go to

Starting point is 00:09:37 Colcomette let's see what else we got. Detroit left tackle Taylor Decker is out. Alvin Camara's expected to play and according to Ian Rappaport not expected to be traded. You're looking at the Jacksonville Seattle game. Three starting Seattle defensive backs including two corners are likely

Starting point is 00:09:53 out for this game. So this might be, and they've been injured in the secondary but they're very injured now. Rick Willan and Devin Witherspoon, both one of them has already been out. The other's doubtful. Julian Love is safety. He's doubtful. So great opportunity for Jacksonville. Naim Hines is going to be actor

Starting point is 00:10:09 for the Chargers. Does that change anything for you in terms of Vidal and Askins? I guess I'll probably take a couple of points of target share away from them. I don't think Naim Hines is going to get in carries, but he might see a target or two. Okay. And Tatavian Sanders is questionable. We'll see if I can pick up

Starting point is 00:10:27 a few questions here. Let's see, pick up. I was reading something and I said it out loud. Starting Jake Tongass over Kincaid. I think that's one where you can go ahead and do that, yeah. And look at this guy just coming in here and bragging. Rishi Rice, C.D. Lamb, and a mecca Buka, one of the greatest wide receiver rooms in fantasy? Well, not this week.

Starting point is 00:10:53 Who even listen? Who even listen to this guy? Right? I mean, like, what a jerk. It's come in here, just brag about your roster. It's disgusting. I know, I don't, like, I have a team with C.D. Lamb and Rushy Rice, and I'm not feeling super braggy about it today. Good, you shouldn't be. This guy's disgusting. I think it's two and four and neither one of them are playing, so not great. So I know this guy, he's a friend-bided.

Starting point is 00:11:15 His team is like 5-0-0. He's insane. So it just loves to brag. It's good to be 5-0 and have those guys on the- Yeah, his team's incredible. Jennings or Hunter Henry at Flex? I'm almost as he's active. Yeah, but you've got to make that decision at one.

Starting point is 00:11:31 Then I'll hope that we get some, a tweet this morning. You might have to just start Henry. Uh, I-O. Manor, R.J. Harvey, Malik Washington, Jacoby Myers, or Calvin Ridley. Listen, I know it's been a disappointing couple weeks for Jacobi Myers, but this is not the level that he has fallen to for me. I'm starting Jacobi Myers. Joanne Johnson or Evan Ingram? Um, is Juan Johnson as long, did he get off the injury report? Because he was questionable last I saw. Let's double check. We've got to make this decision soon. Um, Jawan Johnson is cleared to play. Okay.

Starting point is 00:12:08 Justin Fields or Bo Nix? I will go with I'm going to go with Bo Nix. I do one, two more here. Michael Carter, Jalen Warren, or Brian Thomas Jr. I will take Carter. Okay.

Starting point is 00:12:28 I might put a little faith in Brian Thomas Jr. this week. But, uh, all right. I think, yeah, let's go Carter. McBride. Or Tyler Warren? That, no, this guy's bragging. These are the ones where I have to, I will go with McBride. Who's bragging?

Starting point is 00:12:46 He's got McBride and Tyler Warren. Oh, this guy. Oh, okay. I thought we had another just revolting text from Brad. Oh, I just got a text from Brad. Okay. Good, good. Okay, thanks everybody for watching.

Starting point is 00:12:57 We'll see at 8.30 a.m. Half an hour from now, I'll be answering your questions. Good luck. Paramount Podcasts.
