Starting point is 00:00:38 Good morning Sunday, October 26th. We're getting those lineups set for week eight, and the quarterback landscape has changed. Okay, so let's start with Baltimore. Lamar Jackson, not going to play. Tyler Huntley is going to start. What does this mean for everyone participating in that game? For example, I am much less optimistic about Caleb Williams now. So what do you think about the Ravens and Bears?
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah, and we're seeing that I think the number, even for the Bears, has come down a little bit. Baltimore was a six and a half point favorite with a spread close to 50, and now it's down to around 44 and it's a two and a half point spread. I'm starting D'Andre Swift in this game. I'm starting Derek Henry in this game, and I'm still starting Zayflowers as a number two wide receiver. I've been low on the Bears because I think you have to decide how as bad as the Ravens defense was at times earlier this year how much does having most people back healthy change things
Starting point is 00:01:38 I view Caleb as a QB2 I do have him behind Justin Fields I view Roma Dunzee as a high high high and number three wide receiver you're starting Justin Fields so when you look at let's say Justin Fields boy someone sent me an email this morning It was great.
Starting point is 00:01:55 It was all these guys. It was like, Justin Fields, Marcus Mariotta, Kirk Cousins, C.J. Stroud was in there. I don't want to start Justin Fields. I know he's facing the Bengals, but there's no, there's no Garrett Wilson. There's no Josh Reynolds. Trey Hendrickson is playing for the Bengals. I don't trust Justin Fields. I understand the upside.
Starting point is 00:02:14 I think Kirk Cousins has similar upside against Miami. My answer was Cousins in six-point Marioita and four-point. But, you know, how do you feel about? some of these quarterbacks that are available on waivers. So, and I think he, because he's still probably available on waivers in a lot of one QB leagues, just to say his name, Joe Flacko's the one guy out of this group that I want to start. He's the only one that I have projected for more than 20 points.
Starting point is 00:02:41 He's the only one who ranks inside my top 12 quarterbacks. After that, I rank it Fields, Huntley, Mariotta, Cousins. Huntley, really? I mean, this guy stinks. Well, he does run, and he has produced some fantasy points in the past. Has he? And it is the Bears. It is the Bears.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And I don't like Mario-Ota against the Chiefs. Yeah, so, I mean, the only reason I even consider it is because he's getting his starting wide receivers back. And he's another guy that every time he's had the opportunity, he's gotten 20 fantasy points twice last year, twice this year. I don't think he has much more of a ceiling than that. And obviously, we don't want to go this route. But I threw Aaron Rogers in there. How would you rank Rogers with this group?
Starting point is 00:03:27 I'm pretty nervous about Rogers this week. I would definitely start Fields and Marioad over him. I feel bad about what I said about Tyler Huntley. He just, he runs a lot. He doesn't throw much. And when you're talking about Zay Flowers, you take a look at five games that, that Tyler Huntley started last year.
Starting point is 00:03:46 One of the games he left early. Honestly, I don't remember if that was injury or being benched because he had thrown for 87 yards in like three quarters. but Tyreekill had one good game out of those five. Of course, it was the game I benched him in the fantasy championship for Dantavian Wicks. But that was also the only game he played without Jalen Waddle. When they were both on the field, neither of them had any good games. Flowers doesn't really have any competition.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I'm sorry if you said this. Where's Flowers in your rankings? He is a wide receiver two. So like just looking at it. And again, it's not exactly like there's a lot of wide receivers. receivers that we want that we want to start i would start devante smith without a j brown over him the one i kind of am going back and forth with is d k metcalf because calvin austin back's going to drive that target share down a little bit and the packers defense is very good so i've got
Starting point is 00:04:40 them at 15 right now okay furs a flower wow okay uh so jalen waddle's kind of been the guy we've talked about is that the wide receiver boogeyman this week we're very nervous about him i guess you'd start flowers over wattle I've got Waddle at 20, so yeah, I would. Now, the good thing today, Heath, is that a lot of the guys who are questionable that we don't necessarily know if they're going to play. They play at 1 o'clock, so you should be able to make any roster adjustments. One of those guys is Drake London, and obviously Kirk Cousins would take a big downgrade
Starting point is 00:05:09 if London didn't play. He's questionable. He practiced in full for Wednesday and Thursday, and then was downgraded to limited on Friday. I did see a report that. What's that? Go ahead. No, I saw a report that he was expected to play, but I think that was. before he was downgraded,
Starting point is 00:05:25 the limited, I don't know. So we don't know with London. I just get really nervous about these guys who are downgraded in the middle of the week. Obviously, if London plays, you have to start him. If for some reason London was out, Darnell Mooney would become someone
Starting point is 00:05:41 that probably goes into that top 24 range. I think it's tough to know. Cousins at times looked okay last year. but he also hasn't been playing real football for a long time, and he's an older guy. And so I'm probably a little more skeptical of how good he's going to be. Yeah, I mean, Kirk Cousins, I think if he had even an average matchup, we'd probably shy away from him.
Starting point is 00:06:07 It's the Dolphins that entice you. Kirk Cousins made 14 starts last year. He had two enormous games both against the Buccaneers, one in which he threw, I think, 59 passes. And then he had two games in the low, 20s in fantasy points and six point for passing touchdown leagues. And out of 14 starts, those were his only
Starting point is 00:06:26 four with multiple touchdown passes. He threw a ton of interceptions. He really just wasn't that good, but he actually wasn't that bad until he hurt his shoulder late in the year and then he played three more games and was terrible. All right, we have more headlines. I think a big difference is we think that their defense has been
Starting point is 00:06:43 really good this year. It hasn't been run defenses. Their dolphins have been awful offensively. Like, I don't know that he throws more than 25 passes. And the Dolphins run defense is the one that Rico Doudo ran for 200 yards against. And Quinn John Judkins and ran for three touchdowns again. That's what they do.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Dolphins see the second few is past attempts per game. All right, we're going to take a break. We have a few more headlines for you. We'll talk about Monday night football, Packers wide receivers, Texans wide receivers, Giants wide receivers, Dalton Kincaid, and more. With Amex Platinum, access to exclusive Amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot track side. So being a fan for life turns into the trip of a lifetime. That's the powerful backing of Amex.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Pre-sale tickets for future events subject to availability and varied by race. Turns and conditions apply. Learn more at amex.ca.com. All right, we're back here. So we'll fire through these here because those quarterbacks, that was really the big story. Mack Jones is going to start again. Ricky Piersall's out.
Starting point is 00:07:40 So real quick, your thoughts, tough matchup for the 49ers at Houston. Yeah, I don't really want to start. Kendrick Bourne, even more than I don't want to start the other 20 guys that are ranked ahead of him. I think he's my wide receiver 31. So kind of a boom bust wide receiver three. I don't really want to start Mack Jones. He is QB18 for me. So behind several of the streamers we talked about, I'd definitely start Fields and Marioad over him. Okay. And it's tight ends day. Kiddle, start Kittal. Start Kittle. Let's see. Kareem Hunt expected to play. So if you were starting, if you're planning to start, Isaiah Pacheco, that puts a little bit of a damper on that.
Starting point is 00:08:25 A.J. Brown is out, hopefully back after the buy, not guaranteed to be back after the buy. Giants are likely without two starting defensive backs. Two games without A.J. Brown last year, very good in terms of target share for Devante Smith. One of those games he went off. And Dallas Goddard obviously becomes even more attractive now. Christian Watson's going to play. We don't know about Matthew Golden. And that is the tough one here because that's a Sunday night game.
Starting point is 00:08:48 So you might want to avoid Golden. You could pick up Calvin Austin. I don't know. Maybe you could pick up Christian Watson or something for that game. But any interest in starting Watson if Golden were out? No. Okay. Terry McLaren and Debo Samuel are both playing.
Starting point is 00:09:04 So how are we feeling about those guys? They are ahead of Kendrick-Born. They are just on the outside of my top 24 wide receivers. I do prefer Debo if you have to choose one of them. But I've kind of talked about how I'm scared of. Roma Dunezay this week. I'd start Roma Dunezay over both the commander's wide receivers.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, it's a pretty tough matchup. Stuff to get stuff to sit, Debo, he's been so good. But, uh, all right. And let's see. Christian Kirk and Nico Collins are out. Anyone? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Anyone there? I really like to not. Um, I don't have a Texans wide receiver ranked in my top 36. But, uh, Jalen, Noel. Noel. Noel.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yeah. Noel would be the best one if you had to start one. I'm starting Dalton Schultz as a flex in two leagues this week. Dalton Schultz is a top five tied end for me. Wow. Okay. David Njoku is questionable. So again, that's a one o'clock game.
Starting point is 00:10:06 That's going to change your rankings quite a bit, right? Right now, because Harold Fannan is right behind Dalton Schultz in the rankings. And if Njoku's back, neither one of them will be in the top 10. Dalton Kincaid is questionable. Another one o'clock game at Carolina. Where would you rank him if he plays? He's going to be in that six through eight range at the tight-end position. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And Vita Vea is questionable for the Buccaneers, which is always a huge deal for them. That's actually a four o'clock game against the Saints and a huge deal for their run defense. I don't know that, I mean, Camara's faced some bad run defenses already this year and hasn't really delivered. The hope with Camara is that he doesn't share with Devin Neal as much as he shared with Kendra Miller. So I'm treating Camara like an RB2 this week and planning on starting him. Okay. All right. Let's read some questions here.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Schultz or Kittle? I'm going to go. This is just totally me buying into the narrative of George Kittles' own created holiday. I'm going to go with Kittle. I think there's a good history there. Oh, there's a great history. Like wouldn't it be great if you could just make us? up a holiday and it turned into a thing
Starting point is 00:11:16 and everybody celebrated it? Yeah. We should do that. If Kincaid is out, do you like Dawson Knox, Evan Ingram, or Theo Johnson? I'll go with Evan Ingram, high scoring game. Sit one. RICO Dowdell, Bill, or Tyler Algier, who's also questionable, by the way. I would sit Alger. You sit Alger in PPR.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Let's see. Tai J. Spears or Rico Dowdell? I doubt will buy a million miles. So go play Tyler Tijey Spears and DFS after I said that. Josh Downs or Kate Otten at the Flex, full PPR. I would go with Otten. I think Downs has more upside. Well, this one's easy. Should I start Alger alongside Bejan Robinson?
Starting point is 00:12:00 My other running backs are on a buy. Alger over the buy. T. Higgins or George Pickens? Ooh, now we're getting the good ones. That'd be Pickens for me. Dowdell or Flowers, PPR. I'm going to go doubtle. What about Mason Taylor?
Starting point is 00:12:17 Good call, Eddie. I think I may have skipped that one. Sorry, what about Mason Taylor? He's the wide receiver one. He's the tight end one. I'm not sure if it's great for him that all the wide receivers are out, though. He is currently tied in 12.
Starting point is 00:12:29 If Nijoku's back, I would start Taylor over both Njoku and Fannan. I've got him ahead of Ertz, ahead of Ingram, ahead of Henry, but the back end of the rankings. It is the best matchup you can find. We're going to start Drake May over Caleb Williams,
Starting point is 00:12:46 and we'll do this one. Say Flowers, Josh Dobbs, or Jacori Kroski Merritt and PPR. I think that's Romeo Dobbs. Yes. Okay. I would go with flowers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Thanks, everybody. There's a lot of backup quarterbacks starting today, but I don't think that's wonderful. Not Josh Dobbs, though, not yet. Thanks for watching, everyone. We'll talk to you at 11 a.m. Eastern for a two-hour edition of fantasy football today to answer your starter sit questions at YouTube.com slash fantasy football today. See ya.
